- See, the thing about
- 00:02:02.774 --> 00:02:03.475
- See, the thing about jesus' words in this situation
- 00:02:03.542 --> 00:02:05.210
- Jesus' words in this situation when he says, "simon, simon,
- 00:02:05.277 --> 00:02:08.347
- When he says, "simon, simon, that is so meaningful to me,
- 00:02:08.413 --> 00:02:11.150
- That is so meaningful to me, is that when satan asked
- 00:02:11.216 --> 00:02:12.317
- Is that when satan asked to sift him as wheat,
- 00:02:12.384 --> 00:02:14.186
- To sift him as wheat, jesus didn't tell him no.
- 00:02:14.253 --> 00:02:17.990
- Jesus didn't tell him no. and even standing on the eve
- 00:02:18.056 --> 00:02:20.459
- And even standing on the eve of peter's disappointment,
- 00:02:20.526 --> 00:02:23.295
- Of peter's disappointment, jesus prophesies his destiny.
- 00:02:23.362 --> 00:02:25.564
- Look at verse 32 please.
- 00:02:25.664 --> 00:02:28.000
- Look at verse 32 please. "when you have turned back,
- 00:02:28.066 --> 00:02:30.636
- "when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
- 00:02:30.702 --> 00:02:35.807
- Strengthen your brothers." when.
- 00:02:35.874 --> 00:02:38.277
- When. not if, when.
- 00:02:38.343 --> 00:02:43.682
- Not if, when. not if you turn back.
- 00:02:43.749 --> 00:02:45.651
- Not if you turn back. jesus knew in that moment
- 00:02:45.717 --> 00:02:47.085
- That there would come
- 00:02:47.186 --> 00:02:47.653
- That there would come a point in your life,
- 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:48.654
- A point in your life, a pivotal point,
- 00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:50.789
- A pivotal point, when the pressure
- 00:02:50.856 --> 00:02:51.423
- When the pressure would be too great,
- 00:02:51.490 --> 00:02:53.325
- Would be too great, when the future would be
- 00:02:53.392 --> 00:02:54.059
- When the future would be too uncertain,
- 00:02:54.126 --> 00:02:55.394
- Too uncertain, when you would not
- 00:02:55.460 --> 00:02:56.495
- When you would not be able to do it
- 00:02:56.562 --> 00:02:57.496
- Be able to do it like you used to do it.
- 00:02:57.563 --> 00:02:59.164
- Like you used to do it. and he said,
- 00:02:59.231 --> 00:02:59.998
- And he said, "in that moment when you --
- 00:03:00.065 --> 00:03:00.966
- "in that moment when you -- when you turn back."
- 00:03:01.033 --> 00:03:02.601
- When you turn back." not if you turn back,
- 00:03:02.668 --> 00:03:05.370
- Not if you turn back, when you turn back.
- 00:03:05.437 --> 00:03:06.338
- When you turn back. he knew that there would be
- 00:03:06.405 --> 00:03:07.439
- He knew that there would be a moment where you would
- 00:03:07.506 --> 00:03:08.440
- A moment where you would pray and say,
- 00:03:08.507 --> 00:03:09.841
- Pray and say, "god, fix it."
- 00:03:09.908 --> 00:03:12.544
- "god, fix it." i made a mess of this.
- 00:03:12.611 --> 00:03:14.713
- I have made a complete
- 00:03:14.813 --> 00:03:16.548
- I have made a complete mess of this, fix it.
- 00:03:16.615 --> 00:03:19.084
- Mess of this, fix it. and that's the moment
- 00:03:19.151 --> 00:03:19.718
- And that's the moment he's been waiting for.
- 00:03:19.785 --> 00:03:21.386
- He's been waiting for. when my kids were very small,
- 00:03:21.453 --> 00:03:23.589
- When my kids were very small, i made up a little lie,
- 00:03:23.655 --> 00:03:25.224
- I made up a little lie, and you could judge me for it.
- 00:03:25.290 --> 00:03:26.458
- And you could judge me for it. but anytime they would get hurt
- 00:03:26.525 --> 00:03:27.926
- And they would come
- 00:03:28.026 --> 00:03:28.493
- And they would come to me about it,
- 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:29.528
- To me about it, i would tell 'em, "oh,"
- 00:03:29.595 --> 00:03:30.662
- I would tell 'em, "oh," if it was a minor injury --
- 00:03:30.729 --> 00:03:31.897
- If it was a minor injury -- if it was a major injury,
- 00:03:31.964 --> 00:03:33.098
- If it was a major injury, see your mom.
- 00:03:33.165 --> 00:03:33.999
- See your mom. if it was a minor injury,
- 00:03:34.066 --> 00:03:35.000
- If it was a minor injury, i'll say, "don't worry about it,
- 00:03:35.067 --> 00:03:36.335
- I'll say, "don't worry about it, i can fix it."
- 00:03:36.401 --> 00:03:37.703
- I can fix it." and whatever was hurt
- 00:03:37.769 --> 00:03:38.670
- And whatever was hurt on their body,
- 00:03:38.737 --> 00:03:39.671
- On their body, i would pretend like
- 00:03:39.738 --> 00:03:40.906
- I would pretend like i knew how to fix it.
- 00:03:40.973 --> 00:03:42.341
- I knew how to fix it. i'm talking when

- 00:10:03.955 --> 00:10:05.023
- And as he is lifting the lord gave me
- 00:10:05.090 --> 00:10:05.523
- The lord gave me a very specific picture of
- 00:10:05.590 --> 00:10:06.992
- A very specific picture of this to make it make sense.
- 00:10:07.058 --> 00:10:10.095
- This to make it make sense. when he is lifting weights,
- 00:10:10.161 --> 00:10:12.130
- When he is lifting weights, he is hopefully
- 00:10:12.197 --> 00:10:14.065
- He is hopefully lifting more weight than
- 00:10:14.132 --> 00:10:16.101
- He can successfully
- 00:10:16.201 --> 00:10:17.669
- He can successfully complete repetitions for,
- 00:10:17.736 --> 00:10:19.638
- Complete repetitions for, which is called lifting
- 00:10:19.704 --> 00:10:20.605
- Which is called lifting to the point of failure
- 00:10:20.672 --> 00:10:22.107
- To the point of failure for hypotrophy, so that
- 00:10:22.173 --> 00:10:23.742
- For hypotrophy, so that he can have muscle gain.
- 00:10:23.808 --> 00:10:25.944
- He can have muscle gain. when he is lifting weights
- 00:10:26.011 --> 00:10:27.846
- When he is lifting weights to the average eye it appears
- 00:10:27.912 --> 00:10:29.614
- To the average eye it appears that he is building muscle,
- 00:10:29.681 --> 00:10:31.616
- That he is building muscle, but that is not
- 00:10:31.683 --> 00:10:32.384
- But that is not technically true.
- 00:10:32.450 --> 00:10:34.619
- Technically true. he does not build muscle
- 00:10:34.686 --> 00:10:36.688
- He does not build muscle when he lifts weights,
- 00:10:36.755 --> 00:10:38.790
- When he lifts weights, he builds muscles after
- 00:10:38.857 --> 00:10:40.458
- He builds muscles after he has lifted weights
- 00:10:40.525 --> 00:10:42.460
- He has lifted weights to the point of failure
- 00:10:42.527 --> 00:10:44.396
- To the point of failure and goes home.
- 00:10:44.462 --> 00:10:45.964
- And goes home. while he is lifting weights
- 00:10:46.031 --> 00:10:47.399
- While he is lifting weights not only is he
- 00:10:47.465 --> 00:10:48.066
- Not only is he not building muscles,
- 00:10:48.133 --> 00:10:49.668
- Not building muscles, he is actually doing
- 00:10:49.734 --> 00:10:51.002
- He is actually doing the opposite in that
- 00:10:51.069 --> 00:10:52.337
- The opposite in that the muscle fibers are tearing.
- 00:10:52.404 --> 00:10:54.706
- The muscle fibers are tearing. little micro tears that are
- 00:10:54.773 --> 00:10:55.940
- Little micro tears that are tearing the muscle fibers,
- 00:10:56.007 --> 00:10:57.909
- Tearing the muscle fibers, so now he's got a tear in there.
- 00:10:57.976 --> 00:11:00.311
- So now he's got a tear in there. and so, when he goes home
- 00:11:00.378 --> 00:11:01.312
- And so, when he goes home his body starts talking to
- 00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:02.681
- His body starts talking to itself saying, “we gotta do
- 00:11:02.747 --> 00:11:04.182
- Itself saying, “we gotta do something about this?
- 00:11:04.249 --> 00:11:05.617
- Something about this? did you see what
- 00:11:05.684 --> 00:11:06.117
- Did you see what he just put us through?
- 00:11:06.184 --> 00:11:07.652
- He just put us through? he made us curl 60 pound
- 00:11:07.719 --> 00:11:09.254
- He made us curl 60 pound dumbbells today.
- 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:10.689
- Dumbbells today. he made us do, six, seven,
- 00:11:10.755 --> 00:11:12.490
- He made us do, six, seven, eight reps, last time
- 00:11:12.557 --> 00:11:13.558
- Eight reps, last time we only did nine,
- 00:11:13.625 --> 00:11:14.325
- We only did nine, today he made us do ten,
- 00:11:14.392 --> 00:11:16.061
- Today he made us do ten, and he barely got there.
- 00:11:16.127 --> 00:11:17.495
- And he barely got there. and he struggled
- 00:11:17.562 --> 00:11:18.396
- And he struggled and he couldn't
- 00:11:18.463 --> 00:11:18.763
- And he couldn't get the last one.

- He didn't feel very strong.
- 00:13:47.412 --> 00:13:49.814

- Simon, it's about my prayer. as long as you keep thinking
- 00:14:05.964 --> 00:14:07.065
- As long as you keep thinking it's about your faith
- 00:14:07.131 --> 00:14:08.032
- It's about your faith versus satan's attack
- 00:14:08.099 --> 00:14:09.634
- Versus satan's attack you will always feel weak.
- 00:14:09.701 --> 00:14:12.036

- Versus satan's attack, this is satan's attack
- 00:14:25.884 --> 00:14:27.685
- This is satan's attack versus the savior's prayer.
- 00:14:27.752 --> 00:14:31.089
- Versus the savior's prayer. the prayer of repair
- 00:14:31.155 --> 00:14:32.857

- 00:16:02.113 --> 00:16:03.514
- You are paired with people and so when people leave
- 00:16:03.581 --> 00:16:04.849

- And even a few in the room who prayer didn't prevent it,
- 00:17:22.994 --> 00:17:24.796
- Who prayer didn't prevent it, prayer didn't prepare,
- 00:17:24.862 --> 00:17:26.197
- Prayer didn't prepare, and like simon, simon,
- 00:17:26.264 --> 00:17:29.133
- And like simon, simon, you are going through
- 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:29.767
- You are going through something right now
- 00:17:29.834 --> 00:17:31.302
- Something right now or you've been through
- 00:17:31.369 --> 00:17:31.869
- Or you've been through something where you need
- 00:17:31.936 --> 00:17:32.737
- Something where you need the prayer that repairs.
- 00:17:32.804 --> 00:17:36.107
- The prayer that repairs. and the prayer that
- 00:17:36.174 --> 00:17:36.641
- And the prayer that repairs is this,
- 00:17:36.707 --> 00:17:38.776
- Repairs is this, lord, if everything
- 00:17:38.843 --> 00:17:41.279
- Lord, if everything else goes away,
- 00:17:41.345 --> 00:17:43.081
- Else goes away, if everything else is sifted,
- 00:17:43.147 --> 00:17:46.084
- Don't let this trial
- 00:17:46.184 --> 00:17:48.786
- Don't let this trial take my faith.
- 00:17:48.853 --> 00:17:51.656
- Take my faith. because if my faith
- 00:17:51.722 --> 00:17:52.824
- Because if my faith doesn't fail, i can make it.
- 00:17:52.890 --> 00:17:55.193
- Doesn't fail, i can make it. if my faith doesn't fail
- 00:17:55.259 --> 00:17:56.861
- If my faith doesn't fail i can come back from this.
- 00:17:56.928 --> 00:17:58.930
- I can come back from this. if my faith doesn't fail
- 00:17:58.996 --> 00:18:00.631
- If my faith doesn't fail i can get resourceful.
- 00:18:00.698 --> 00:18:02.300
- I can get resourceful. if my faith doesn't fail
- 00:18:02.366 --> 00:18:03.868
- If my faith doesn't fail i can reach out.
- 00:18:03.935 --> 00:18:04.869
- I can reach out. if my faith doesn't fail
- 00:18:04.936 --> 00:18:06.270
- If my faith doesn't fail i can pivot.
- 00:18:06.337 --> 00:18:09.440
- I can pivot. and so, just like
- 00:18:09.507 --> 00:18:10.341
- And so, just like the savior prayed for peter
- 00:18:10.408 --> 00:18:13.911
- We wanna, right now,
- 00:18:14.011 --> 00:18:15.113
- We wanna, right now, pray for you.
- 00:18:15.179 --> 00:18:17.381
- Pray for you. those of you who are
- 00:18:17.448 --> 00:18:18.249
- Those of you who are simon, simon.
- 00:18:18.316 --> 00:18:20.485
- Simon, simon. “oh, i followed him
- 00:18:20.551 --> 00:18:21.552
- “oh, i followed him at a distance.
- 00:18:21.619 --> 00:18:22.320
- At a distance. oh, i let the pressure
- 00:18:22.386 --> 00:18:23.421
- Oh, i let the pressure get the best of me,
- 00:18:23.488 --> 00:18:25.456
- Get the best of me, but this is the prayer
- 00:18:25.523 --> 00:18:26.224
- But this is the prayer that repairs,
- 00:18:26.290 --> 00:18:28.159
- That repairs, this is the prayer that
- 00:18:28.226 --> 00:18:29.760
- This is the prayer that brings you back to god.
- 00:18:29.827 --> 00:18:32.163
- Brings you back to god. right now, i believe
- 00:18:32.230 --> 00:18:32.864
- Right now, i believe there are many here today
- 00:18:32.930 --> 00:18:35.666
- There are many here today who have never made
- 00:18:35.733 --> 00:18:36.667
- Who have never made the decision to make jesus
- 00:18:36.734 --> 00:18:38.302
- The decision to make jesus the lord of your life.
- 00:18:38.369 --> 00:18:40.571
- The lord of your life. i wanna lead you
- 00:18:40.638 --> 00:18:41.105
- I wanna lead you in a prayer right now,
- 00:18:41.172 --> 00:18:43.441
- In a prayer right now, and this is the prayer
- 00:18:43.508 --> 00:18:45.209
- And this is the prayer not only that repairs,
- 00:18:45.276 --> 00:18:46.544
- Not only that repairs, but this is
- 00:18:46.611 --> 00:18:46.944
- But this is the prayer that saves.
- 00:18:47.011 --> 00:18:49.213
- The prayer that saves. the bible says that
- 00:18:49.280 --> 00:18:50.281
- The bible says that if you will call on
- 00:18:50.348 --> 00:18:51.482
- If you will call on the name of the lord,
- 00:18:51.549 --> 00:18:53.184
- The name of the lord, you will be saved.
- 00:18:53.251 --> 00:18:55.353
- You will be saved. he knows your name,
- 00:18:55.419 --> 00:18:57.488
- He knows your name, and now it's time
- 00:18:57.555 --> 00:18:58.189
- And now it's time for you to call his name,
- 00:18:58.256 --> 00:19:00.758
- For you to call his name, the name of jesus.
- 00:19:00.825 --> 00:19:02.627
- The name of jesus. there is no other name
- 00:19:02.693 --> 00:19:03.794
- There is no other name in heaven or on earth,
- 00:19:03.861 --> 00:19:05.263
- In heaven or on earth, or under the earth,
- 00:19:05.329 --> 00:19:06.330
- Or under the earth, by which man must be saved,
- 00:19:06.397 --> 00:19:08.466
- By which man must be saved, it is in this name.
- 00:19:08.533 --> 00:19:10.468
- It is in this name. so, right now,
- 00:19:10.535 --> 00:19:11.302
- So, right now, if god is speaking to you
- 00:19:11.369 --> 00:19:12.403
- If god is speaking to you and you realize in your heart,
- 00:19:12.470 --> 00:19:14.739
- And you realize in your heart, “this is my day to come to god,
- 00:19:14.805 --> 00:19:16.841
- “this is my day to come to god, this is my day to give
- 00:19:16.908 --> 00:19:17.975
- This is my day to give him my life,”
- 00:19:18.042 --> 00:19:19.610
- Him my life,” i want you to pray
- 00:19:19.677 --> 00:19:20.378
- I want you to pray this prayer with me out loud
- 00:19:20.444 --> 00:19:22.380

- And repeat after me. and if you mean this
- 00:19:23.548 --> 00:19:24.081
- And if you mean this with your heart --
- 00:19:24.148 --> 00:19:25.883
- With your heart -- the bible says that
- 00:19:25.950 --> 00:19:26.384
- The bible says that if you confess your sins
- 00:19:26.450 --> 00:19:28.352
- If you confess your sins he will forgive you
- 00:19:28.419 --> 00:19:29.320

- Earlier, was coming so hard,
- 00:21:50.828 --> 00:21:53.064
- Earlier, was coming so hard, and coming from such
- 00:21:53.130 --> 00:21:53.831
- And coming from such a strange direction
- 00:21:53.898 --> 00:21:55.666
- A strange direction that even in my back room
- 00:21:55.733 --> 00:21:57.501
- That even in my back room there was water that
- 00:21:57.568 --> 00:21:58.235
- There was water that came under the doors.
- 00:21:58.302 --> 00:22:00.071
- Came under the doors. now, these are good doors,
- 00:22:00.137 --> 00:22:02.673
- Now, these are good doors, these aren't cheap doors.
- 00:22:02.740 --> 00:22:04.975
- These aren't cheap doors. it's not like we have
- 00:22:05.042 --> 00:22:05.609
- It's not like we have a budget crisis at the church
- 00:22:05.676 --> 00:22:07.211
- A budget crisis at the church and we have to put
- 00:22:07.278 --> 00:22:07.878
- And we have to put some weak doors,
- 00:22:07.945 --> 00:22:09.714
- Some weak doors, they just weren't prepared
- 00:22:09.780 --> 00:22:11.882
- They just weren't prepared for what came in
- 00:22:11.949 --> 00:22:13.284
- For what came in in that direction.
- 00:22:13.351 --> 00:22:14.919
- In that direction. and so they didn't prevent it.
- 00:22:14.985 --> 00:22:17.021
- And so they didn't prevent it. so, they weren't prepared,
- 00:22:17.088 --> 00:22:18.055
- So, they weren't prepared, they didn't prevent.
- 00:22:18.122 --> 00:22:19.357
- They didn't prevent. there's water on the floor,
- 00:22:19.423 --> 00:22:21.659
- There's water on the floor, and i hope they cleaned it up
- 00:22:21.726 --> 00:22:22.927
- And i hope they cleaned it up while i was preaching,
- 00:22:22.993 --> 00:22:25.296
- While i was preaching, but i didn't slip.
- 00:22:25.363 --> 00:22:27.264
- But i didn't slip. the thing about it is
- 00:22:27.331 --> 00:22:29.033
- The thing about it is as silly as it would be for me
- 00:22:29.100 --> 00:22:31.836
- As silly as it would be for me to never come
- 00:22:31.902 --> 00:22:32.303
- To never come back to church again
- 00:22:32.370 --> 00:22:34.238
- Back to church again 'cause the doors didn't stop
- 00:22:34.305 --> 00:22:35.139
- 'cause the doors didn't stop the water from coming in,
- 00:22:35.206 --> 00:22:37.375

- 00:22:37.441 --> 00:22:39.377
- That would be how ridiculous it would be for you
- 00:22:39.443 --> 00:22:41.011
