  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.347
  • Female announcer: too many believers are stuck in
  • 00:00:01.848 --> 00:00:03.216
  • A powerless version of faith, frustrated, distracted, and
  • 00:00:03.349 --> 00:00:04.384
  • Spiritually dry.
  • 00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:08.621
  • But that's not what god wants for you.
  • 00:00:08.621 --> 00:00:10.657
  • In "3 steps to living a spirit-filled life," dr. young
  • 00:00:10.657 --> 00:00:13.626
  • Shares how purity, power, and prayer can unlock a victorious
  • 00:00:13.626 --> 00:00:17.664
  • Spirit-led life.
  • 00:00:17.664 --> 00:00:19.032
  • This isn't about hype.
  • 00:00:19.032 --> 00:00:20.366
  • It's about real transformation.
  • 00:00:20.366 --> 00:00:22.268
  • So don't settle for less than god's best.
  • 00:00:22.268 --> 00:00:24.771
  • Call the number on the screen and request your copy as
  • 00:00:24.771 --> 00:00:27.674
  • Dr. young's thanks for your gift to help reach more people with
  • 00:00:27.674 --> 00:00:30.844
  • The proven truth of god's word.
  • 00:00:30.844 --> 00:00:34.047
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:00:34.047 --> 00:00:54.400
  • Dr. ed young: you know when you're in a high place.
  • 00:00:54.467 --> 00:00:57.770
  • You get a perspective and you can see where you can't see when
  • 00:00:57.770 --> 00:01:02.675
  • You're down.
  • 00:01:02.675 --> 00:01:04.644
  • So we go up on a mountain and we see clearer.
  • 00:01:04.644 --> 00:01:08.381
  • We see at distance, we see the past, a little bit in the
  • 00:01:08.381 --> 00:01:12.519
  • Future, and we see what's below us.
  • 00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:14.954
  • Not only do we get a new perspective, but also on those
  • 00:01:14.954 --> 00:01:18.057
  • Mountaintop experiences, we're instructed.
  • 00:01:18.057 --> 00:01:21.995
  • Moses goes up on that mountain and god gives him clear
  • 00:01:21.995 --> 00:01:25.765
  • Instructions as to how to live.
  • 00:01:25.765 --> 00:01:30.603
  • And by the way, god entered history in bethlehem in a quiet,
  • 00:01:30.603 --> 00:01:35.041
  • Gentle way, did he not, with the babe in the manger?
  • 00:01:35.041 --> 00:01:38.478
  • But when he spoke there to moses, gave him these
  • 00:01:38.478 --> 00:01:41.014
  • Commandments, you knew god was speaking.
  • 00:01:41.014 --> 00:01:43.917
  • Thunder, lightning, earthquake, fire, smoke, and the people
  • 00:01:43.917 --> 00:01:50.056
  • Backed away from the mountain and moses says, "don't come near
  • 00:01:50.056 --> 00:01:53.359
  • The mountain.
  • 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.694
  • If you touch the mountain, you will die."
  • 00:01:54.694 --> 00:01:57.230
  • God, a sense of awe, a sense of presence.
  • 00:01:57.230 --> 00:02:00.200
  • So the people knew, without any question, that god was giving
  • 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:06.139
  • Them instructions for life.
  • 00:02:06.139 --> 00:02:10.944
  • By the way, do you think the ten commandments are legalistic?
  • 00:02:10.944 --> 00:02:14.480
  • Thou shalt not, thou shalt not, thou shalt not.
  • 00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:17.217
  • That's not legalism.
  • 00:02:17.217 --> 00:02:18.952
  • Not at all.
  • 00:02:18.952 --> 00:02:20.286
  • The ten commandments are just principles by which god gives
  • 00:02:20.286 --> 00:02:25.058
  • Us, so we can live successful, full, meaningful lives.
  • 00:02:25.058 --> 00:02:32.098
  • They're not negative, two are positive, the rest we'd say are
  • 00:02:32.098 --> 00:02:35.335
  • Negative, but they're really positive words to tell you and
  • 00:02:35.335 --> 00:02:39.372
  • Tell me how to really make life count.
  • 00:02:39.372 --> 00:02:43.476
  • Somebody said, "well, these principles are outdated."
  • 00:02:43.476 --> 00:02:46.346
  • Is anybody that illiterate to think that's true?
  • 00:02:46.346 --> 00:02:50.416
  • They're right up to speed.
  • 00:02:50.416 --> 00:02:53.186
  • What's the first commandment?
  • 00:02:53.186 --> 00:02:55.888
  • Simply stated, it says, god's number one.
  • 00:02:55.888 --> 00:03:00.126
  • He's number one.
  • 00:03:00.126 --> 00:03:02.262
  • "put no other god ahead of him."
  • 00:03:02.262 --> 00:03:04.264
  • It is a voice of monotheism, one god, not polytheism, not many
  • 00:03:04.264 --> 00:03:10.203
  • Gods as they've seen in egypt.
  • 00:03:10.203 --> 00:03:11.838
  • They had a god, everything.
  • 00:03:11.838 --> 00:03:14.674
  • Monotheism, one god.
  • 00:03:14.674 --> 00:03:17.377
  • Let me ask you a question.
  • 00:03:17.377 --> 00:03:19.345
  • Is the living god, the one god over your life?
  • 00:03:19.345 --> 00:03:23.216
  • Is the god of abraham, isaac, and jacob, of jesus, that
  • 00:03:23.216 --> 00:03:27.120
  • Is god?
  • 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.589
  • Is that the god that you worship, that you know?
  • 00:03:29.589 --> 00:03:32.725
  • One god, that's the first commandment.
  • 00:03:32.725 --> 00:03:34.761
  • "no other gods before me."
  • 00:03:34.761 --> 00:03:37.096
  • Second commandment: don't put anything in the place of god.
  • 00:03:37.096 --> 00:03:40.266
  • He's number one, don't have an idol.
  • 00:03:40.266 --> 00:03:43.403
  • An idol can be anything or anybody that we give priority
  • 00:03:43.403 --> 00:03:46.839
  • To, that we elevate, that we give worship or interest in or
  • 00:03:46.839 --> 00:03:50.643
  • Time or talent or money to.
  • 00:03:50.643 --> 00:03:52.312
  • Something we put ahead of god or someone we put ahead of god,
  • 00:03:52.312 --> 00:03:55.715
  • That becomes a idol.
  • 00:03:55.715 --> 00:03:57.150
  • And moses says, no, no, let god be number one and put nothing in
  • 00:03:57.150 --> 00:04:01.854
  • His place, second commandment.
  • 00:04:01.854 --> 00:04:04.524
  • Third commandment: keep his name holy, special,
  • 00:04:04.524 --> 00:04:14.567
  • Set aside, with reverence.
  • 00:04:15.234 --> 00:04:18.871
  • God, jehovah, god, jesus, christ.
  • 00:04:18.871 --> 00:04:28.014
  • Special name, keep his name special.
  • 00:04:28.014 --> 00:04:32.085
  • Fourth commandment: worship.
  • 00:04:32.085 --> 00:04:34.120
  • We're all made to worship.
  • 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.055
  • Say, "my life's not working."
  • 00:04:36.055 --> 00:04:38.224
  • It's because you're not worshiping properly because
  • 00:04:38.224 --> 00:04:41.894
  • Everybody worships.
  • 00:04:41.894 --> 00:04:44.030
  • And what's involved in worship?
  • 00:04:44.030 --> 00:04:45.965
  • This commandment says: take one day out of the week.
  • 00:04:45.965 --> 00:04:49.335
  • We worship every day the lord, i trust, but take one day out of
  • 00:04:49.335 --> 00:04:53.206
  • The week.
  • 00:04:53.206 --> 00:04:54.540
  • It was the sabbath then.
  • 00:04:54.540 --> 00:04:56.042
  • Following the resurrection, it became sunday, the first day of
  • 00:04:56.042 --> 00:04:59.612
  • The week.
  • 00:04:59.612 --> 00:05:00.947
  • This commandment says: take one day out of the week
  • 00:05:00.947 --> 00:05:03.916
  • For re-creation.
  • 00:05:03.916 --> 00:05:06.419
  • And by the way, that's what we're doing now.
  • 00:05:06.419 --> 00:05:08.554
  • We come to worship, we sing, we pray, we give, we open god's
  • 00:05:08.554 --> 00:05:11.991
  • Word, we--that's re-creation.
  • 00:05:11.991 --> 00:05:15.194
  • We're being recreated.
  • 00:05:15.194 --> 00:05:16.763
  • We're being enlived, we're being rekindled, the fire of truth is
  • 00:05:16.763 --> 00:05:21.467
  • Burn--this is re-creation, and there's recreation.
  • 00:05:21.467 --> 00:05:24.670
  • There's nothing wrong with holy recreation on this day.
  • 00:05:24.670 --> 00:05:28.307
  • It's a special day we set aside to recover, to mean business for
  • 00:05:28.307 --> 00:05:33.246
  • God, to give him the highest priority in our life.
  • 00:05:33.246 --> 00:05:36.916
  • Worship.
  • 00:05:36.916 --> 00:05:38.618
  • And then those four commandments deal with a vertical relation.
  • 00:05:38.618 --> 00:05:43.656
  • Did you notice?
  • 00:05:43.656 --> 00:05:45.158
  • In other words, they all: one god, no idols, holy is the--of
  • 00:05:45.158 --> 00:05:50.296
  • His name, worship.
  • 00:05:50.296 --> 00:05:51.631
  • It's all vertical, and it's all upward.
  • 00:05:51.631 --> 00:05:54.066
  • It's upward toward god.
  • 00:05:54.066 --> 00:05:55.935
  • That's the first four commandments.
  • 00:05:55.935 --> 00:05:58.004
  • And the last six are in a horizontal relationships.
  • 00:05:58.004 --> 00:06:03.409
  • The last six is how we relate to one another, our neighbor, our
  • 00:06:03.409 --> 00:06:06.779
  • Friends, how we relate here.
  • 00:06:06.779 --> 00:06:08.414
  • You know what i've discovered?
  • 00:06:08.414 --> 00:06:10.249
  • When i've got a problem with somebody or something or is
  • 00:06:10.249 --> 00:06:14.720
  • Going on in my life that, you know, i'm not sure about, i'm
  • 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.057
  • Confused about, i don't deal with that problem.
  • 00:06:18.057 --> 00:06:22.361
  • I start with vertical.
  • 00:06:22.361 --> 00:06:25.031
  • I start with god and i've discovered when i get it worked
  • 00:06:25.031 --> 00:06:28.100
  • Out with god and god get it worked out with me by his
  • 00:06:28.100 --> 00:06:31.103
  • Spirit, all this stuff down here begins to take care of itself.
  • 00:06:31.103 --> 00:06:34.874
  • Sometimes it takes time.
  • 00:06:34.874 --> 00:06:37.310
  • Always here, and we work out here.
  • 00:06:37.310 --> 00:06:40.012
  • Now we have these last six commandments.
  • 00:06:40.012 --> 00:06:43.716
  • Not suggestions, by the way, commandments.
  • 00:06:43.716 --> 00:06:47.987
  • And then we see the transitional commandment between vertical
  • 00:06:47.987 --> 00:06:51.924
  • Relating to god and horizontal is this fifth commandment:
  • 00:06:51.924 --> 00:06:57.730
  • "honor thy father and thy mother," the only command with
  • 00:06:57.730 --> 00:07:01.801
  • Promise, "that your days may be long upon the land that the lord
  • 00:07:01.801 --> 00:07:06.706
  • Thy god hath given thee, the time, the place god has
  • 00:07:06.706 --> 00:07:10.576
  • Given you.
  • 00:07:10.576 --> 00:07:11.911
  • We are to honor our parents, and the word "honor" means wake.
  • 00:07:11.911 --> 00:07:17.483
  • We're to give mom and dad gravitas.
  • 00:07:17.483 --> 00:07:20.052
  • You say, "well, you know, my mom--" it doesn't matter.
  • 00:07:20.052 --> 00:07:22.455
  • We're to give our parents gravitas, gravitas, honor your
  • 00:07:22.455 --> 00:07:28.027
  • Father, your mother, and especially mothers.
  • 00:07:28.027 --> 00:07:32.965
  • I mean, a mom, man, what a mother goes through in all the
  • 00:07:32.965 --> 00:07:38.337
  • Process of giving birth, those early years in which a mom
  • 00:07:38.337 --> 00:07:42.275
  • Usually is just hidden away--
  • 00:07:42.275 --> 00:07:44.510
  • Everybody else, the highest priority is you or me, the
  • 00:07:44.510 --> 00:07:48.114
  • Sacrifice, the pain, the suffering, all that went through
  • 00:07:48.114 --> 00:07:52.151
  • With that mom, the diapers, et cetera.
  • 00:07:52.151 --> 00:07:55.254
  • Man, a mom has heavy, heavy, heaviness toward us.
  • 00:07:55.254 --> 00:08:00.226
  • They're heavyweights.
  • 00:08:00.226 --> 00:08:01.561
  • They're so important, so vital, so beautiful, so magnificent,
  • 00:08:01.561 --> 00:08:04.864
  • A mom.
  • 00:08:04.864 --> 00:08:06.332
  • I remember years ago reading about the killer whale.
  • 00:08:06.332 --> 00:08:10.636
  • Remember, the killer whale, a female, little female baby was
  • 00:08:10.636 --> 00:08:15.441
  • Born dead and they watched this killer whale, orca whale, take
  • 00:08:15.441 --> 00:08:21.213
  • That little dead baby whale and just push it to the surface and
  • 00:08:21.213 --> 00:08:26.552
  • Push it down, push it to the surface and push it down and it
  • 00:08:26.552 --> 00:08:30.456
  • Was on helicopters and they watched this mother pushing that
  • 00:08:30.456 --> 00:08:34.727
  • Dead little whale on the surface and down and went from
  • 00:08:34.727 --> 00:08:37.563
  • Northwestern part of the united states all over to canada.
  • 00:08:37.563 --> 00:08:40.866
  • It last for 17 days, went over 1000 miles, that mother
  • 00:08:40.866 --> 00:08:48.074
  • Grieving, asking for life in that little whale that was
  • 00:08:48.074 --> 00:08:52.244
  • Born dead.
  • 00:08:52.244 --> 00:08:53.946
  • We see it in the animal world, we see it today, the sacredness
  • 00:08:53.946 --> 00:08:58.150
  • Of life.
  • 00:08:58.150 --> 00:08:59.719
  • And i have mentioned this so many times in recent days.
  • 00:08:59.719 --> 00:09:03.356
  • I mentioned in passing, but god will never make america really
  • 00:09:03.356 --> 00:09:09.629
  • Great until we reverence life and the wholeness of life.
  • 00:09:09.629 --> 00:09:13.933
  • Never will it happen.
  • 00:09:13.933 --> 00:09:15.267
  • I don't care what else happens.
  • 00:09:15.267 --> 00:09:19.705
  • We're to honor our mother and our fathers, and let me tell you
  • 00:09:19.705 --> 00:09:22.875
  • Something about fathers.
  • 00:09:22.875 --> 00:09:25.244
  • Give you a few statistics that i don't particularly
  • 00:09:25.244 --> 00:09:30.716
  • Enjoy reading.
  • 00:09:30.716 --> 00:09:33.519
  • Fatherless homes, a home without a dad, are 5 times more likely
  • 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:38.824
  • To commit suicide--the children, 32 times more likely to run
  • 00:09:38.824 --> 00:09:43.696
  • Away, 20 times more likely to have behavioral disorders, 14
  • 00:09:43.696 --> 00:09:49.802

  • State-operated institutions, 20 times more likely to end up

  • In prison.
  • 00:10:04.650 --> 00:10:05.985
  • And let me tell you this.
  • 00:10:05.985 --> 00:10:08.788
  • Of all the juveniles who are killed, who are--or punished for
  • 00:10:08.788 --> 00:10:15.361
  • Crimes that they committed, all--by this i mean 21 years of
  • 00:10:15.361 --> 00:10:19.365
  • Age and under, all those who have committed a crime that's so
  • 00:10:19.365 --> 00:10:22.935
  • Heinous that the death penalty was carried out, half of those
  • 00:10:22.935 --> 00:10:28.874
  • Crimes among juveniles, in which the juveniles were executed for
  • 00:10:28.874 --> 00:10:34.914
  • The crime they committed, took place in the united states
  • 00:10:34.914 --> 00:10:38.684
  • Of america.
  • 00:10:38.684 --> 00:10:40.686
  • And we have 5% of the population of the world.
  • 00:10:40.686 --> 00:10:48.561
  • The number one problem in america are homes without
  • 00:10:48.561 --> 00:10:54.900
  • A father or a father is not a leader and a lover in that home.
  • 00:10:54.900 --> 00:10:58.871
  • When homes get fathers who are leaders and lovers, let me tell
  • 00:10:58.871 --> 00:11:02.174
  • You something, 85%, 90% of all the problems we can list in this
  • 00:11:02.174 --> 00:11:08.481
  • United states of america will go away when dads really live
  • 00:11:08.481 --> 00:11:12.985
  • As dads.
  • 00:11:12.985 --> 00:11:14.787
  • Mark it down.
  • 00:11:14.787 --> 00:11:16.589
  • It's true, true, true, but we as children are to honor our
  • 00:11:16.589 --> 00:11:23.496
  • Fathers and our mothers regardless.
  • 00:11:23.496 --> 00:11:29.368
  • An elderly man had trouble walking, trembled a lot,
  • 00:11:29.368 --> 00:11:35.908
  • Trouble eating.
  • 00:11:35.908 --> 00:11:37.710
  • And his son and his wife and their grandson took him in
  • 00:11:37.710 --> 00:11:40.746
  • Their home.
  • 00:11:40.746 --> 00:11:42.214
  • And he would eat at the table with them, but he began to drool
  • 00:11:42.214 --> 00:11:46.452
  • And spill food.
  • 00:11:46.452 --> 00:11:48.554
  • And when he got up, there were food all around his chair and on
  • 00:11:48.554 --> 00:11:52.758
  • The tablecloth until finally, his daughter-in-law said, "i
  • 00:11:52.758 --> 00:11:57.496
  • Can't eat like this every meal, all this mess."
  • 00:11:57.496 --> 00:12:00.599
  • And they took this elderly, elderly father off and put him
  • 00:12:00.599 --> 00:12:06.205
  • At a separate table, you know, and said, "you eat over here.
  • 00:12:06.205 --> 00:12:10.476
  • We're just not gonna have all this spillage on our table,
  • 00:12:10.476 --> 00:12:13.679
  • We're eating."
  • 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:15.047
  • And he ate over there and he still spilled things and he
  • 00:12:15.047 --> 00:12:18.684
  • Would blink and look over at his son, his wife, and his grandson,
  • 00:12:18.684 --> 00:12:21.887
  • And he didn't say anything.
  • 00:12:21.887 --> 00:12:24.023
  • He just did the best he could.
  • 00:12:24.023 --> 00:12:26.592
  • Finally, one day, he was eating out of earthenware and he
  • 00:12:26.592 --> 00:12:30.029
  • Spilled his plate and food just went everywhere.
  • 00:12:30.029 --> 00:12:35.267
  • The daughter-in-law got up and said, "we're not--we're not
  • 00:12:35.267 --> 00:12:37.837
  • Gonna have this.
  • 00:12:37.837 --> 00:12:39.171
  • We're not gonna have somebody eat like a pig.
  • 00:12:39.171 --> 00:12:40.806
  • If you're gonna eat like a pig and--" and his son and his wife
  • 00:12:40.806 --> 00:12:45.811
  • Went out and they made a trough for him and said, "you're gonna
  • 00:12:45.811 --> 00:12:50.082
  • Eat out of the trough.
  • 00:12:50.082 --> 00:12:51.417
  • You eat like a pig, you eat out of a trough."
  • 00:12:51.417 --> 00:12:54.620
  • And he did for 2 or 3 weeks and then they went out in the
  • 00:12:54.620 --> 00:12:59.525
  • Backyard, father and mother, saw their son billy out there
  • 00:12:59.525 --> 00:13:02.494
  • Working, and they said, "billy, you know, what are you making?"
  • 00:13:02.494 --> 00:13:05.297
  • He had a piece of wood, he said, "i'm making a trough for the two
  • 00:13:05.297 --> 00:13:10.102
  • Of you when you get old and i can feed you out of."
  • 00:13:10.102 --> 00:13:19.445
  • And this young couple looked at one another, embraced, cried.
  • 00:13:19.445 --> 00:13:26.719
  • The next meal, they invited dad, grandfather, to come back in and
  • 00:13:26.719 --> 00:13:30.823
  • Eat at the table.
  • 00:13:30.823 --> 00:13:32.157
  • Said, "it doesn't matter to us.
  • 00:13:32.157 --> 00:13:33.525
  • We're your family and we love you.
  • 00:13:33.525 --> 00:13:37.062
  • We want you here with us."
  • 00:13:37.062 --> 00:13:39.565
  • Let me tell you something, folks.
  • 00:13:39.565 --> 00:13:42.735
  • There's not a lot of difference between diapers and bed pans.
  • 00:13:42.735 --> 00:13:50.643
  • Honor, honor, honor your father and your mother,
  • 00:13:50.643 --> 00:13:59.718
  • Fifth commandment.
  • 00:13:59.718 --> 00:14:01.186
  • You don't farm them out, they're being looked after, i'm paying
  • 00:14:01.186 --> 00:14:04.189
  • The bill.
  • 00:14:04.189 --> 00:14:05.557
  • You visit, you go.
  • 00:14:05.557 --> 00:14:06.892
  • You may have to do that.
  • 00:14:06.892 --> 00:14:08.260
  • You visit, you go, you love, honor, give weight to your
  • 00:14:08.260 --> 00:14:13.165
  • Parents, fifth commandment.
  • 00:14:13.165 --> 00:14:18.704
  • Sixth commandment says, "thou shalt not murder."
  • 00:14:18.704 --> 00:14:24.410
  • Literally it means in greek and hebrew, you shall not kill.
  • 00:14:24.410 --> 00:14:28.480
  • The word there has nothing to do with war or with
  • 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:34.386
  • Capital punishment.
  • 00:14:34.386 --> 00:14:35.754
  • It's been so mixed up there.
  • 00:14:35.754 --> 00:14:37.356
  • If you read in context of scripture in the very next
  • 00:14:37.356 --> 00:14:40.292
  • Chapters, they deal with capital punishment and war as when the
  • 00:14:40.292 --> 00:14:45.064
  • Taking of life is legitimate, but this means thou shalt
  • 00:14:45.064 --> 00:14:48.434
  • Not kill.
  • 00:14:48.434 --> 00:14:50.269
  • It's murder in the first degree.
  • 00:14:50.269 --> 00:14:52.004
  • It's premeditated murder.
  • 00:14:52.004 --> 00:14:54.039
  • That's exactly what that verse means.
  • 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.842
  • Therefore, in light of that, because there's no more than,
  • 00:14:56.842 --> 00:15:00.245
  • Oh, 12 professional hitmen here in the service, we can jump
  • 00:15:00.245 --> 00:15:04.883
  • Over it.
  • 00:15:04.883 --> 00:15:07.453
  • But yet, jesus took this command and just hit all of us right in
  • 00:15:07.453 --> 00:15:13.792
  • The head with it.
  • 00:15:13.792 --> 00:15:15.561
  • He said that we are guilty of killing or murdering when we do
  • 00:15:15.561 --> 00:15:20.833
  • Not forgive, when we have hatred in our hearts, and what happens
  • 00:15:20.833 --> 00:15:26.405
  • To us when we're--somebody offends us, somebody deceives
  • 00:15:26.405 --> 00:15:29.375
  • Us, somebody lies to us, somebody steals from us,
  • 00:15:29.375 --> 00:15:32.544
  • Somebody abuses us in so many different ways.
  • 00:15:32.544 --> 00:15:35.714
  • When we carry that hurt along, you know what happens?
  • 00:15:35.714 --> 00:15:39.184
  • It's like the scale do re mi fa so la ti do, and it reaches that
  • 00:15:39.184 --> 00:15:45.491
  • Highest point, and that's when, in our mind at least, we want
  • 00:15:45.491 --> 00:15:50.262
  • Revenge and something bad happens to them, we say, "aha,
  • 00:15:50.262 --> 00:15:54.566
  • They're getting exactly what they need and it's exactly what
  • 00:15:54.566 --> 00:15:58.137
  • They deserve."
  • 00:15:58.137 --> 00:15:59.671
  • Ladies and gentlemen, it's hard not to have that attitude.
  • 00:15:59.671 --> 00:16:03.475
  • It's hard to love our enemies.
  • 00:16:03.475 --> 00:16:05.144
  • I'm--that's a challenge for anybody who walks this earth,
  • 00:16:05.144 --> 00:16:08.947
  • But in the process, god gives us that ability to forgive.
  • 00:16:08.947 --> 00:16:12.885
  • When we do not forgive someone who's hurt us, you know what
  • 00:16:12.885 --> 00:16:16.155
  • That means?
  • 00:16:16.155 --> 00:16:17.489
  • That person who hurt us still influences our life.
  • 00:16:17.489 --> 00:16:21.160
  • When we genuinely forgive them, their control, their influence,
  • 00:16:21.160 --> 00:16:25.097
  • Their pain is no longer there.
  • 00:16:25.097 --> 00:16:27.933
  • So this sixth commandment is very, very important.
  • 00:16:27.933 --> 00:16:32.137
  • Thou shalt not kill with your words, with your attitude, with
  • 00:16:32.137 --> 00:16:37.676
  • Your understanding of people who have done tough things to you or
  • 00:16:37.676 --> 00:16:42.848
  • To me.
  • 00:16:42.848 --> 00:16:44.450
  • The commandment is, thou shalt not kill in any way, shape,
  • 00:16:44.450 --> 00:16:48.020
  • Form, or fashion because we begin to see people as god
  • 00:16:48.020 --> 00:16:51.824
  • Sees them.
  • 00:16:51.824 --> 00:16:53.158
  • Donatello sculptured a little boy.
  • 00:16:53.158 --> 00:16:56.795
  • And he thought to emphasize the sculpture, he would take and
  • 00:16:56.795 --> 00:17:00.165
  • Light this sculpture from the bottom.
  • 00:17:00.165 --> 00:17:02.868
  • When he did that, the little boy took on demonic characteristics
  • 00:17:02.868 --> 00:17:07.005
  • And then donatello took and lighted that sculpture from the
  • 00:17:07.005 --> 00:17:10.209
  • Top and that same sculpture took on the characteristic of
  • 00:17:10.209 --> 00:17:14.513
  • A little angel.
  • 00:17:14.513 --> 00:17:16.215
  • See, if we see people from the bottom, the way we see others,
  • 00:17:16.215 --> 00:17:20.819
  • We see one perspective, but if we look at them as god sees
  • 00:17:20.819 --> 00:17:24.590
  • Them, we see what god sees in anybody, anywhere, anytime,
  • 00:17:24.590 --> 00:17:30.129
  • And we're not murderers.
  • 00:17:30.129 --> 00:17:31.497
  • Instead we're those who forgive and those who who build up and
  • 00:17:31.497 --> 00:17:35.434
  • Those who try to do something positive if we can for those
  • 00:17:35.434 --> 00:17:40.239
  • Who've harmfully used and abused us.
  • 00:17:40.239 --> 00:17:43.742
  • Thou shalt not murder.
  • 00:17:43.742 --> 00:17:47.513
  • That's the commandment.
  • 00:17:47.513 --> 00:17:49.114
  • And then the seventh commandment: "thou shalt not
  • 00:17:49.114 --> 00:17:52.985
  • Commit adultery."
  • 00:17:52.985 --> 00:17:55.787
  • Remember what i told you.
  • 00:17:55.787 --> 00:17:58.190
  • You talk about death, money, or sex, any audience will
  • 00:17:58.190 --> 00:18:03.128
  • Get quiet.
  • 00:18:03.128 --> 00:18:05.564
  • And y'all just get quiet.
  • 00:18:05.564 --> 00:18:08.167
  • Billy graham was publishing titles before his crusades.
  • 00:18:08.167 --> 00:18:12.304
  • He discovered that if he put sex in the title, no matter what he
  • 00:18:12.304 --> 00:18:15.374
  • Was preaching on, his audience went up 20%.
  • 00:18:15.374 --> 00:18:20.646
  • But adultery.
  • 00:18:20.646 --> 00:18:22.314
  • Adultery means mixed, mixed, it's mixing things up together.
  • 00:18:22.314 --> 00:18:27.886
  • It's impure.
  • 00:18:27.886 --> 00:18:29.922
  • It's not whole and complete.
  • 00:18:29.922 --> 00:18:32.391
  • And here we see, "you shall not commit adultery."
  • 00:18:32.391 --> 00:18:38.297
  • And how sexual promiscuity is so wide in our culture.
  • 00:18:38.297 --> 00:18:44.469
  • We are surrounded by all sort of images and ideas.
  • 00:18:44.469 --> 00:18:49.341
  • It is so debilitating to our society.
  • 00:18:49.341 --> 00:18:53.045
  • We are called as members of god's family to be pure.
  • 00:18:53.045 --> 00:18:57.382
  • So what do you do about this drive?
  • 00:18:57.382 --> 00:19:00.252
  • Yeah, you can repress it.
  • 00:19:00.252 --> 00:19:03.055
  • That's what puritans said.
  • 00:19:03.055 --> 00:19:04.423
  • They said, "oh, just repress this drive."
  • 00:19:04.423 --> 00:19:07.526
  • And a whole branch of christianity said, "well, sex is
  • 00:19:07.526 --> 00:19:10.696
  • Only for procreation.
  • 00:19:10.696 --> 00:19:12.731
  • Sex could not be used for any other reason."
  • 00:19:12.731 --> 00:19:15.167
  • That's not biblically accurate.
  • 00:19:15.167 --> 00:19:17.135
  • Sex is for procreation in marriage.
  • 00:19:17.135 --> 00:19:20.105
  • But sex also is for pleasure, and sex also in a marriage
  • 00:19:20.105 --> 00:19:24.676
  • Relationship is a symbol and a picture of a man or a woman's
  • 00:19:24.676 --> 00:19:29.448
  • Relationship with god and jesus christ.
  • 00:19:29.448 --> 00:19:31.683
  • It's a picture of our salvation, of who we are.
  • 00:19:31.683 --> 00:19:35.120
  • So it's a very sacred gift that god has given to us.
  • 00:19:35.120 --> 00:19:39.658
  • We can repress it or we can express it and say, "well, we're
  • 00:19:39.658 --> 00:19:44.396
  • Adults, by mutual consent, and everybody is doing it and no one
  • 00:19:44.396 --> 00:19:48.667
  • Looks down on it and what's the matter?
  • 00:19:48.667 --> 00:19:50.702
  • No harm, no foul.
  • 00:19:50.702 --> 00:19:52.037
  • It's just recre--" we can just release it and those who do
  • 00:19:52.037 --> 00:19:56.008
  • That, i have watched it through many years, their life becomes
  • 00:19:56.008 --> 00:20:00.345
  • Empty and void, and all of a sudden if they ever do get
  • 00:20:00.345 --> 00:20:04.216
  • Married or have a sacred relationship with the opposite
  • 00:20:04.216 --> 00:20:08.587
  • Sex, they have lost so much by their years of promiscuity.
  • 00:20:08.587 --> 00:20:14.693
  • There's a beautiful, beautiful white rosebud.
  • 00:20:14.693 --> 00:20:20.132
  • The fragrance, oh, it's so lovely.
  • 00:20:20.132 --> 00:20:23.835
  • And the man goes to his garden and says, "oh, i can hardly wait
  • 00:20:23.835 --> 00:20:28.173
  • For that rosebud to open."
  • 00:20:28.173 --> 00:20:29.608
  • She--he never touched it.
  • 00:20:29.608 --> 00:20:31.109
  • He just admired its beauty and its fragrance.
  • 00:20:31.109 --> 00:20:35.047
  • But that same man went through his garden and he had exotic
  • 00:20:35.047 --> 00:20:38.383
  • Flowers and he smelled of them and he touched them and he
  • 00:20:38.383 --> 00:20:42.688
  • Handled their leaves and he had all kinds of flowers and all
  • 00:20:42.688 --> 00:20:46.158
  • Kind of odors and all kind of fragrance things and this went
  • 00:20:46.158 --> 00:20:49.995
  • On for a while and then he went back to that white rosebud and
  • 00:20:49.995 --> 00:20:54.399
  • It had opened and showed him all the moist, beautiful insides and
  • 00:20:54.399 --> 00:21:01.973
  • That flower didn't have the radiance it had before.
  • 00:21:01.973 --> 00:21:06.211
  • It didn't seem to be as beautiful as it was before.
  • 00:21:06.211 --> 00:21:10.816
  • What happened?
  • 00:21:10.816 --> 00:21:13.552
  • You see, he had visited so many flowers in the garden, it took
  • 00:21:13.552 --> 00:21:19.291
  • A long time for him to appreciate the beauty and the
  • 00:21:19.291 --> 00:21:22.994
  • Fragrance of that pure white rosebud.
  • 00:21:22.994 --> 00:21:26.732
  • So it is, so it is with sexuality.
  • 00:21:26.732 --> 00:21:32.504
  • You say, "well, you can repress it."
  • 00:21:32.504 --> 00:21:36.208
  • That's one way. you can express it.
  • 00:21:36.208 --> 00:21:38.910
  • It will destroy you outside of marriage.
  • 00:21:38.910 --> 00:21:40.812
  • Or you can redeem it.
  • 00:21:40.812 --> 00:21:43.215
  • And that happens in marriage.
  • 00:21:43.215 --> 00:21:45.016
  • And that happens to those who are singles.
  • 00:21:45.016 --> 00:21:48.019
  • You see, singles can take this drive that god has given and
  • 00:21:48.019 --> 00:21:51.890
  • Channel it, and they become powerful instruments of god in
  • 00:21:51.890 --> 00:21:56.428
  • His church.
  • 00:21:56.428 --> 00:21:57.929
  • Without single men and women in this church performing services
  • 00:21:57.929 --> 00:22:01.566
  • Of love and ministry, we could not function for a day, ladies
  • 00:22:01.566 --> 00:22:05.337
  • And gentlemen.
  • 00:22:05.337 --> 00:22:06.705
  • They take that drive and use it for kingdom purposes.
  • 00:22:06.705 --> 00:22:09.741
  • It is redeemed.
  • 00:22:09.741 --> 00:22:12.077
  • So we understand this so clearly, the sacredness of this
  • 00:22:12.077 --> 00:22:17.983
  • Beautiful gift, this powerful gift that god has given.
  • 00:22:17.983 --> 00:22:22.921
  • There's a young man who was 21 years of age.
  • 00:22:22.921 --> 00:22:25.357
  • He'd lived abroad.
  • 00:22:25.357 --> 00:22:27.025
  • He'd seen football on television, but he'd never
  • 00:22:27.025 --> 00:22:29.895
  • Played, didn't even really understand the rules.
  • 00:22:29.895 --> 00:22:31.830
  • He just watched it.
  • 00:22:31.830 --> 00:22:33.465
  • And his family moves back to america.
  • 00:22:33.465 --> 00:22:36.735
  • And someone looks at him and realized that he's
  • 00:22:36.735 --> 00:22:38.804
  • A phenomenal athlete.
  • 00:22:38.804 --> 00:22:40.872
  • He's 6'4, weighs 260.
  • 00:22:40.872 --> 00:22:44.910
  • He runs the 40 in 4.2.
  • 00:22:44.910 --> 00:22:48.346
  • If you know anything about it, that is moving.
  • 00:22:48.346 --> 00:22:50.916
  • That is bob hayes-type speed.
  • 00:22:50.916 --> 00:22:54.252
  • On top of that, his standing vertical jump is almost
  • 00:22:54.252 --> 00:22:58.590
  • 50 inches.
  • 00:22:58.590 --> 00:23:00.592
  • On top of that, he could benchpress 500 pounds 25 times
  • 00:23:00.592 --> 00:23:05.864
  • And didn't even break a sweat.
  • 00:23:05.864 --> 00:23:08.467
  • He had great hand and eye coordination.
  • 00:23:08.467 --> 00:23:11.269
  • He was tenacious.
  • 00:23:11.269 --> 00:23:12.637
  • He was competitive.
  • 00:23:12.637 --> 00:23:14.005
  • To say it simply, here was a young man who had athleticism
  • 00:23:14.005 --> 00:23:18.276
  • And more potential of any kind of person, anybody you'd ever
  • 00:23:18.276 --> 00:23:21.947
  • Seen to that point.
  • 00:23:21.947 --> 00:23:23.748
  • You've never heard anybody who has all of that.
  • 00:23:23.748 --> 00:23:25.584
  • I haven't either.
  • 00:23:25.584 --> 00:23:26.952
  • It may not even be possible, but let's just say that he had all
  • 00:23:26.952 --> 00:23:29.855
  • That giftedness and the owner of a professional team says,
  • 00:23:29.855 --> 00:23:33.925
  • "i wanna own you."
  • 00:23:33.925 --> 00:23:35.594
  • And so he buys him.
  • 00:23:35.594 --> 00:23:37.762
  • And he turned him over to the coach.
  • 00:23:37.762 --> 00:23:40.365
  • The coach says, "i'm gonna," you know this phrase?
  • 00:23:40.365 --> 00:23:42.601
  • "coach him up."
  • 00:23:42.601 --> 00:23:43.935
  • Ladies, that means that you take a kid and you coach them up, you
  • 00:23:43.935 --> 00:23:46.638
  • Give them time, talent, ability.
  • 00:23:46.638 --> 00:23:48.807
  • He explains to him football.
  • 00:23:48.807 --> 00:23:50.475
  • He doesn't know about hash marks or goalposts or--knew very
  • 00:23:50.475 --> 00:23:54.279
  • Little about that, and he teaches him how to put on
  • 00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:56.948
  • Shoulder pads and a helmet and all the rest of it.
  • 00:23:56.948 --> 00:23:59.818
  • And all of a sudden, he begins to give him the playbook and
  • 00:23:59.818 --> 00:24:02.888
  • Said, "this is the playbook by which you will play on my
  • 00:24:02.888 --> 00:24:06.925
  • Professional team.
  • 00:24:06.925 --> 00:24:08.693
  • And by the way," he says, "you're on my team."
  • 00:24:08.693 --> 00:24:10.896
  • And he begins to give him a jersey, a uniform.
  • 00:24:10.896 --> 00:24:14.799
  • Now, you just take that and apply it to kingdom stuff.
  • 00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:18.637
  • Here's god who says, "i'm number one, i wanna own you," and you
  • 00:24:18.637 --> 00:24:22.541
  • Say, "god, i want you to own me."
  • 00:24:22.541 --> 00:24:24.843
  • And god takes us and says, "you let my coach, jesus christ,
  • 00:24:24.843 --> 00:24:28.547
  • Come in your life.
  • 00:24:28.547 --> 00:24:29.915
  • He'll coach you up.
  • 00:24:29.915 --> 00:24:31.650
  • He'll train you.
  • 00:24:31.650 --> 00:24:33.818
  • And on top of that, he will give you his playbook and show you
  • 00:24:33.818 --> 00:24:38.189
  • How to play the game of life, how to live it successfully with

  • My team on this earth, which is the church, the body of christ,"
  • 00:24:45.997 --> 00:24:50.969
  • And so put on that jersey.
  • 00:24:50.969 --> 00:24:54.539
  • Wherever you are, whatever your age, whatever your category of
  • 00:24:54.539 --> 00:24:57.976
  • Life, it doesn't make any difference.
  • 00:24:57.976 --> 00:24:59.578
  • God wants to come and say, "let me own you, turn your life over
  • 00:24:59.578 --> 00:25:03.515
  • To me.
  • 00:25:03.515 --> 00:25:04.849
  • Let jesus come into your life."
  • 00:25:04.849 --> 00:25:06.785
  • And i'll tell you, i'll take you where you are, anybody here, any

  • Age, any category, and we will coach you up and we'll teach you
  • 00:25:10.221 --> 00:25:14.659
  • The playbook and you could be a part of my team, which is the
