- See, the thing about
- 00:02:02.775 --> 00:02:03.476
- See, the thing about jesus' words in this situation
- 00:02:03.543 --> 00:02:05.211
- Jesus' words in this situation when he says, "simon, simon,
- 00:02:05.278 --> 00:02:08.348
- When he says, "simon, simon, that is so meaningful to me,
- 00:02:08.414 --> 00:02:11.151
- That is so meaningful to me, is that when satan asked
- 00:02:11.217 --> 00:02:12.318
- Is that when satan asked to sift him as wheat,
- 00:02:12.385 --> 00:02:14.187
- To sift him as wheat, jesus didn't tell him no.
- 00:02:14.254 --> 00:02:17.991
- Jesus didn't tell him no. and even standing on the eve
- 00:02:18.057 --> 00:02:20.460
- And even standing on the eve of peter's disappointment,
- 00:02:20.527 --> 00:02:23.296
- Of peter's disappointment, jesus prophesies his destiny.
- 00:02:23.363 --> 00:02:25.565
- Look at verse 32 please.
- 00:02:25.665 --> 00:02:28.001
- Look at verse 32 please. "when you have turned back,
- 00:02:28.067 --> 00:02:30.637
- "when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
- 00:02:30.703 --> 00:02:35.808
- Strengthen your brothers." when.
- 00:02:35.875 --> 00:02:38.278
- When. not if, when.
- 00:02:38.344 --> 00:02:43.683
- Not if, when. not if you turn back.
- 00:02:43.750 --> 00:02:45.652
- Not if you turn back. jesus knew in that moment
- 00:02:45.718 --> 00:02:47.086
- That there would come
- 00:02:47.187 --> 00:02:47.654
- That there would come a point in your life,
- 00:02:47.720 --> 00:02:48.655
- A point in your life, a pivotal point,
- 00:02:48.721 --> 00:02:50.790
- A pivotal point, when the pressure
- 00:02:50.857 --> 00:02:51.424
- When the pressure would be too great,
- 00:02:51.491 --> 00:02:53.326
- Would be too great, when the future would be
- 00:02:53.393 --> 00:02:54.060
- When the future would be too uncertain,
- 00:02:54.127 --> 00:02:55.395
- Too uncertain, when you would not
- 00:02:55.461 --> 00:02:56.496
- When you would not be able to do it
- 00:02:56.563 --> 00:02:57.497
- Be able to do it like you used to do it.
- 00:02:57.564 --> 00:02:59.165
- Like you used to do it. and he said,
- 00:02:59.232 --> 00:02:59.999
- And he said, "in that moment when you --
- 00:03:00.066 --> 00:03:00.967
- "in that moment when you -- when you turn back."
- 00:03:01.034 --> 00:03:02.602
- When you turn back." not if you turn back,
- 00:03:02.669 --> 00:03:05.371
- Not if you turn back, when you turn back.
- 00:03:05.438 --> 00:03:06.339
- When you turn back. he knew that there would be
- 00:03:06.406 --> 00:03:07.440
- He knew that there would be a moment where you would
- 00:03:07.507 --> 00:03:08.441
- A moment where you would pray and say,
- 00:03:08.508 --> 00:03:09.842
- Pray and say, "god, fix it."
- 00:03:09.909 --> 00:03:12.545
- "god, fix it." i made a mess of this.
- 00:03:12.612 --> 00:03:14.714
- I have made a complete
- 00:03:14.814 --> 00:03:16.549
- I have made a complete mess of this, fix it.
- 00:03:16.616 --> 00:03:19.085
- Mess of this, fix it. and that's the moment
- 00:03:19.152 --> 00:03:19.719
- And that's the moment he's been waiting for.
- 00:03:19.786 --> 00:03:21.387
- He's been waiting for. when my kids were very small,
- 00:03:21.454 --> 00:03:23.590
- When my kids were very small, i made up a little lie,
- 00:03:23.656 --> 00:03:25.225
- I made up a little lie, and you could judge me for it.
- 00:03:25.291 --> 00:03:26.459
- And you could judge me for it. but anytime they would get hurt
- 00:03:26.526 --> 00:03:27.927
- And they would come
- 00:03:28.027 --> 00:03:28.494
- And they would come to me about it,
- 00:03:28.561 --> 00:03:29.529
- To me about it, i would tell 'em, "oh,"
- 00:03:29.596 --> 00:03:30.663
- I would tell 'em, "oh," if it was a minor injury --
- 00:03:30.730 --> 00:03:31.898
- If it was a minor injury -- if it was a major injury,
- 00:03:31.965 --> 00:03:33.099
- If it was a major injury, see your mom.
- 00:03:33.166 --> 00:03:34.000
- See your mom. if it was a minor injury,
- 00:03:34.067 --> 00:03:35.001
- If it was a minor injury, i'll say, "don't worry about it,
- 00:03:35.068 --> 00:03:36.336
- I'll say, "don't worry about it, i can fix it."
- 00:03:36.402 --> 00:03:37.704
- I can fix it." and whatever was hurt
- 00:03:37.770 --> 00:03:38.671
- And whatever was hurt on their body,
- 00:03:38.738 --> 00:03:39.672
- On their body, i would pretend like
- 00:03:39.739 --> 00:03:40.907
- I would pretend like i knew how to fix it.
- 00:03:40.974 --> 00:03:42.342
- I knew how to fix it. i'm talking when

- 00:10:03.956 --> 00:10:05.024
- And as he is lifting the lord gave me
- 00:10:05.091 --> 00:10:05.524
- The lord gave me a very specific picture of
- 00:10:05.591 --> 00:10:06.993
- A very specific picture of this to make it make sense.
- 00:10:07.059 --> 00:10:10.096
- This to make it make sense. when he is lifting weights,
- 00:10:10.162 --> 00:10:12.131
- When he is lifting weights, he is hopefully
- 00:10:12.198 --> 00:10:14.066
- He is hopefully lifting more weight than
- 00:10:14.133 --> 00:10:16.102
- He can successfully
- 00:10:16.202 --> 00:10:17.670
- He can successfully complete repetitions for,
- 00:10:17.737 --> 00:10:19.639
- Complete repetitions for, which is called lifting
- 00:10:19.705 --> 00:10:20.606
- Which is called lifting to the point of failure
- 00:10:20.673 --> 00:10:22.108
- To the point of failure for hypotrophy, so that
- 00:10:22.174 --> 00:10:23.743
- For hypotrophy, so that he can have muscle gain.
- 00:10:23.809 --> 00:10:25.945
- He can have muscle gain. when he is lifting weights
- 00:10:26.012 --> 00:10:27.847
- When he is lifting weights to the average eye it appears
- 00:10:27.913 --> 00:10:29.615
- To the average eye it appears that he is building muscle,
- 00:10:29.682 --> 00:10:31.617
- That he is building muscle, but that is not
- 00:10:31.684 --> 00:10:32.385
- But that is not technically true.
- 00:10:32.451 --> 00:10:34.620
- Technically true. he does not build muscle
- 00:10:34.687 --> 00:10:36.689
- He does not build muscle when he lifts weights,
- 00:10:36.756 --> 00:10:38.791
- When he lifts weights, he builds muscles after
- 00:10:38.858 --> 00:10:40.459
- He builds muscles after he has lifted weights
- 00:10:40.526 --> 00:10:42.461
- He has lifted weights to the point of failure
- 00:10:42.528 --> 00:10:44.397
- To the point of failure and goes home.
- 00:10:44.463 --> 00:10:45.965
- And goes home. while he is lifting weights
- 00:10:46.032 --> 00:10:47.400
- While he is lifting weights not only is he
- 00:10:47.466 --> 00:10:48.067
- Not only is he not building muscles,
- 00:10:48.134 --> 00:10:49.669
- Not building muscles, he is actually doing
- 00:10:49.735 --> 00:10:51.003
- He is actually doing the opposite in that
- 00:10:51.070 --> 00:10:52.338
- The opposite in that the muscle fibers are tearing.
- 00:10:52.405 --> 00:10:54.707
- The muscle fibers are tearing. little micro tears that are
- 00:10:54.774 --> 00:10:55.941
- Little micro tears that are tearing the muscle fibers,
- 00:10:56.008 --> 00:10:57.910
- Tearing the muscle fibers, so now he's got a tear in there.
- 00:10:57.977 --> 00:11:00.312
- So now he's got a tear in there. and so, when he goes home
- 00:11:00.379 --> 00:11:01.313
- And so, when he goes home his body starts talking to
- 00:11:01.380 --> 00:11:02.682
- His body starts talking to itself saying, “we gotta do
- 00:11:02.748 --> 00:11:04.183
- Itself saying, “we gotta do something about this?
- 00:11:04.250 --> 00:11:05.618
- Something about this? did you see what
- 00:11:05.685 --> 00:11:06.118
- Did you see what he just put us through?
- 00:11:06.185 --> 00:11:07.653
- He just put us through? he made us curl 60 pound
- 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.255
- He made us curl 60 pound dumbbells today.
- 00:11:09.321 --> 00:11:10.690
- Dumbbells today. he made us do, six, seven,
- 00:11:10.756 --> 00:11:12.491
- He made us do, six, seven, eight reps, last time
- 00:11:12.558 --> 00:11:13.559
- Eight reps, last time we only did nine,
- 00:11:13.626 --> 00:11:14.326
- We only did nine, today he made us do ten,
- 00:11:14.393 --> 00:11:16.062
- Today he made us do ten, and he barely got there.
- 00:11:16.128 --> 00:11:17.496
- And he barely got there. and he struggled
- 00:11:17.563 --> 00:11:18.397
- And he struggled and he couldn't
- 00:11:18.464 --> 00:11:18.764
- And he couldn't get the last one.

- He didn't feel very strong.
- 00:13:47.413 --> 00:13:49.815

- Simon, it's about my prayer. as long as you keep thinking
- 00:14:05.965 --> 00:14:07.066
- As long as you keep thinking it's about your faith
- 00:14:07.132 --> 00:14:08.033
- It's about your faith versus satan's attack
- 00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:09.635
- Versus satan's attack you will always feel weak.
- 00:14:09.702 --> 00:14:12.037
- You will always feel weak. chris, chris,
- 00:14:12.104 --> 00:14:12.404

- Versus satan's attack, this is satan's attack
- 00:14:25.885 --> 00:14:27.686
- This is satan's attack versus the savior's prayer.
- 00:14:27.753 --> 00:14:31.090
- Versus the savior's prayer. the prayer of repair
- 00:14:31.156 --> 00:14:32.858
- The prayer of repair is his prayer.

- You keep thinking that you are paired with people
- 00:16:02.114 --> 00:16:03.515
- You are paired with people and so when people leave
- 00:16:03.582 --> 00:16:04.850

- To intercede for them.” what does it mean that

- And even a few in the room who prayer didn't prevent it,
- 00:17:22.995 --> 00:17:24.797
- Who prayer didn't prevent it, prayer didn't prepare,
- 00:17:24.863 --> 00:17:26.198
- Prayer didn't prepare, and like simon, simon,
- 00:17:26.265 --> 00:17:29.134
- And like simon, simon, you are going through
- 00:17:29.201 --> 00:17:29.768
- You are going through something right now
- 00:17:29.835 --> 00:17:31.303
- Something right now or you've been through
- 00:17:31.370 --> 00:17:31.870
- Or you've been through something where you need
- 00:17:31.937 --> 00:17:32.738
- Something where you need the prayer that repairs.
- 00:17:32.805 --> 00:17:36.108
- The prayer that repairs. and the prayer that
- 00:17:36.175 --> 00:17:36.642
- And the prayer that repairs is this,
- 00:17:36.708 --> 00:17:38.777
- Repairs is this, lord, if everything
- 00:17:38.844 --> 00:17:41.280
- Lord, if everything else goes away,
- 00:17:41.346 --> 00:17:43.082
- Else goes away, if everything else is sifted,
- 00:17:43.148 --> 00:17:46.085
- Don't let this trial
- 00:17:46.185 --> 00:17:48.787
- Don't let this trial take my faith.
- 00:17:48.854 --> 00:17:51.657
- Take my faith. because if my faith
- 00:17:51.723 --> 00:17:52.825
- Because if my faith doesn't fail, i can make it.
- 00:17:52.891 --> 00:17:55.194
- Doesn't fail, i can make it. if my faith doesn't fail
- 00:17:55.260 --> 00:17:56.862
- If my faith doesn't fail i can come back from this.
- 00:17:56.929 --> 00:17:58.931
- I can come back from this. if my faith doesn't fail
- 00:17:58.997 --> 00:18:00.632
- If my faith doesn't fail i can get resourceful.
- 00:18:00.699 --> 00:18:02.301
- I can get resourceful. if my faith doesn't fail
- 00:18:02.367 --> 00:18:03.869
- If my faith doesn't fail i can reach out.
- 00:18:03.936 --> 00:18:04.870
- I can reach out. if my faith doesn't fail
- 00:18:04.937 --> 00:18:06.271
- If my faith doesn't fail i can pivot.
- 00:18:06.338 --> 00:18:09.441
- I can pivot. and so, just like
- 00:18:09.508 --> 00:18:10.342
- And so, just like the savior prayed for peter
- 00:18:10.409 --> 00:18:13.912
- We wanna, right now,
- 00:18:14.012 --> 00:18:15.114
- We wanna, right now, pray for you.
- 00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:17.382
- Pray for you. those of you who are
- 00:18:17.449 --> 00:18:18.250
- Those of you who are simon, simon.
- 00:18:18.317 --> 00:18:20.486
- Simon, simon. “oh, i followed him
- 00:18:20.552 --> 00:18:21.553
- “oh, i followed him at a distance.
- 00:18:21.620 --> 00:18:22.321
- At a distance. oh, i let the pressure
- 00:18:22.387 --> 00:18:23.422
- Oh, i let the pressure get the best of me,
- 00:18:23.489 --> 00:18:25.457
- Get the best of me, but this is the prayer
- 00:18:25.524 --> 00:18:26.225
- But this is the prayer that repairs,
- 00:18:26.291 --> 00:18:28.160
- That repairs, this is the prayer that
- 00:18:28.227 --> 00:18:29.761
- This is the prayer that brings you back to god.
- 00:18:29.828 --> 00:18:32.164
- Brings you back to god. right now, i believe
- 00:18:32.231 --> 00:18:32.865
- Right now, i believe there are many here today
- 00:18:32.931 --> 00:18:35.667
- There are many here today who have never made
- 00:18:35.734 --> 00:18:36.668
- Who have never made the decision to make jesus
- 00:18:36.735 --> 00:18:38.303
- The decision to make jesus the lord of your life.
- 00:18:38.370 --> 00:18:40.572
- The lord of your life. i wanna lead you
- 00:18:40.639 --> 00:18:41.106
- I wanna lead you in a prayer right now,
- 00:18:41.173 --> 00:18:43.442
- In a prayer right now, and this is the prayer
- 00:18:43.509 --> 00:18:45.210
- And this is the prayer not only that repairs,
- 00:18:45.277 --> 00:18:46.545
- Not only that repairs, but this is
- 00:18:46.612 --> 00:18:46.945
- But this is the prayer that saves.
- 00:18:47.012 --> 00:18:49.214
- The prayer that saves. the bible says that
- 00:18:49.281 --> 00:18:50.282
- The bible says that if you will call on
- 00:18:50.349 --> 00:18:51.483
- If you will call on the name of the lord,
- 00:18:51.550 --> 00:18:53.185
- The name of the lord, you will be saved.
- 00:18:53.252 --> 00:18:55.354
- You will be saved. he knows your name,
- 00:18:55.420 --> 00:18:57.489
- He knows your name, and now it's time
- 00:18:57.556 --> 00:18:58.190
- And now it's time for you to call his name,
- 00:18:58.257 --> 00:19:00.759
- For you to call his name, the name of jesus.
- 00:19:00.826 --> 00:19:02.628
- The name of jesus. there is no other name
- 00:19:02.694 --> 00:19:03.795
- There is no other name in heaven or on earth,
- 00:19:03.862 --> 00:19:05.264
- In heaven or on earth, or under the earth,
- 00:19:05.330 --> 00:19:06.331
- Or under the earth, by which man must be saved,
- 00:19:06.398 --> 00:19:08.467
- By which man must be saved, it is in this name.
- 00:19:08.534 --> 00:19:10.469
- It is in this name. so, right now,
- 00:19:10.536 --> 00:19:11.303
- So, right now, if god is speaking to you
- 00:19:11.370 --> 00:19:12.404
- If god is speaking to you and you realize in your heart,
- 00:19:12.471 --> 00:19:14.740
- And you realize in your heart, “this is my day to come to god,
- 00:19:14.806 --> 00:19:16.842
- “this is my day to come to god, this is my day to give
- 00:19:16.909 --> 00:19:17.976
- This is my day to give him my life,”
- 00:19:18.043 --> 00:19:19.611
- Him my life,” i want you to pray
- 00:19:19.678 --> 00:19:20.379
- I want you to pray this prayer with me out loud
- 00:19:20.445 --> 00:19:22.381
- This prayer with me out loud and repeat after me.

- And repeat after me. and if you mean this
- 00:19:23.549 --> 00:19:24.082
- And if you mean this with your heart --
- 00:19:24.149 --> 00:19:25.884
- With your heart -- the bible says that
- 00:19:25.951 --> 00:19:26.385
- The bible says that if you confess your sins
- 00:19:26.451 --> 00:19:28.353
- If you confess your sins he will forgive you
- 00:19:28.420 --> 00:19:29.321

- Earlier, was coming so hard,
- 00:21:50.829 --> 00:21:53.065
- Earlier, was coming so hard, and coming from such
- 00:21:53.131 --> 00:21:53.832
- And coming from such a strange direction
- 00:21:53.899 --> 00:21:55.667
- A strange direction that even in my back room
- 00:21:55.734 --> 00:21:57.502
- That even in my back room there was water that
- 00:21:57.569 --> 00:21:58.236
- There was water that came under the doors.
- 00:21:58.303 --> 00:22:00.072
- Came under the doors. now, these are good doors,
- 00:22:00.138 --> 00:22:02.674
- Now, these are good doors, these aren't cheap doors.
- 00:22:02.741 --> 00:22:04.976
- These aren't cheap doors. it's not like we have
- 00:22:05.043 --> 00:22:05.610
- It's not like we have a budget crisis at the church
- 00:22:05.677 --> 00:22:07.212
- A budget crisis at the church and we have to put
- 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:07.879
- And we have to put some weak doors,
- 00:22:07.946 --> 00:22:09.715
- Some weak doors, they just weren't prepared
- 00:22:09.781 --> 00:22:11.883
- They just weren't prepared for what came in
- 00:22:11.950 --> 00:22:13.285
- For what came in in that direction.
- 00:22:13.352 --> 00:22:14.920
- In that direction. and so they didn't prevent it.
- 00:22:14.986 --> 00:22:17.022
- And so they didn't prevent it. so, they weren't prepared,
- 00:22:17.089 --> 00:22:18.056
- So, they weren't prepared, they didn't prevent.
- 00:22:18.123 --> 00:22:19.358
- They didn't prevent. there's water on the floor,
- 00:22:19.424 --> 00:22:21.660
- There's water on the floor, and i hope they cleaned it up
- 00:22:21.727 --> 00:22:22.928
- And i hope they cleaned it up while i was preaching,
- 00:22:22.994 --> 00:22:25.297
- While i was preaching, but i didn't slip.
- 00:22:25.364 --> 00:22:27.265
- But i didn't slip. the thing about it is
- 00:22:27.332 --> 00:22:29.034
- The thing about it is as silly as it would be for me
- 00:22:29.101 --> 00:22:31.837
- As silly as it would be for me to never come
- 00:22:31.903 --> 00:22:32.304
- To never come back to church again
- 00:22:32.371 --> 00:22:34.239
- Back to church again 'cause the doors didn't stop
- 00:22:34.306 --> 00:22:35.140
- 'cause the doors didn't stop the water from coming in,
- 00:22:35.207 --> 00:22:37.376

- 00:22:39.444 --> 00:22:41.012
