The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - The Smile of God | April 7, 2026
  • Lord, i want to see your face.
  • 00:00:02.581 --> 00:00:05.484
  • Serve the lord with gladness.
  • 00:00:06.118 --> 00:00:07.553
  • Come before his presence with singing.
  • 00:00:07.553 --> 00:00:09.321
  • Know you that the lord he is.
  • 00:00:09.321 --> 00:00:10.722
  • Look, he is god.
  • 00:00:10.722 --> 00:00:12.291
  • May the lord bless you and keep you.
  • 00:00:12.291 --> 00:00:13.992
  • May the lord make his countenance shine upon you,
  • 00:00:13.992 --> 00:00:17.129
  • And be gracious unto you.
  • 00:00:17.129 --> 00:00:19.832
  • Oh, yea, and give you peace.
  • 00:00:19.832 --> 00:00:22.067
  • The face of god.
  • 00:00:22.067 --> 00:00:24.903
  • Are. life moves and seasons.
  • 00:00:24.903 --> 00:00:28.040
  • Their mountaintop moments of joy.
  • 00:00:28.774 --> 00:00:31.310
  • And their valleys.
  • 00:00:31.310 --> 00:00:32.344
  • Where faith is tested.
  • 00:00:32.344 --> 00:00:34.313
  • But just as winter gives way to spring,
  • 00:00:34.313 --> 00:00:37.015
  • No season lasts forever.
  • 00:00:37.015 --> 00:00:40.219
  • The bible tells us there is a time
  • 00:00:40.219 --> 00:00:43.122
  • For every purpose under heaven.
  • 00:00:43.122 --> 00:00:45.691
  • So whatever season you're walking through right now,
  • 00:00:45.691 --> 00:00:49.027
  • Trust this god is in the middle of it.
  • 00:00:49.027 --> 00:00:52.431
  • God is present in it, and he is shaping
  • 00:00:52.431 --> 00:00:55.701
  • You and me in this season and will carry us beyond it.
  • 00:00:55.701 --> 00:01:00.305
  • Thank you for joining
  • 00:01:00.806 --> 00:01:01.707
  • Me today on the winning walk.
  • 00:01:01.707 --> 00:01:23.595
  • We read in psalm
  • 00:01:23.996 --> 00:01:24.997
  • Three how absalom,
  • 00:01:24.997 --> 00:01:27.833
  • The son of king david,
  • 00:01:27.833 --> 00:01:30.102
  • Forwarded a revolution as he went around on every time
  • 00:01:30.102 --> 00:01:33.772
  • A decision was made by david and by those in power,
  • 00:01:33.772 --> 00:01:38.377
  • Absalom would go and take the very opposite course.
  • 00:01:38.377 --> 00:01:42.114
  • In other words, he set up a new system of justice
  • 00:01:42.114 --> 00:01:45.651
  • That was contrary
  • 00:01:46.084 --> 00:01:47.186
  • To biblical principles that david tried to operate on,
  • 00:01:47.186 --> 00:01:50.889
  • On the basis of true truths of the scripture,
  • 00:01:50.889 --> 00:01:53.992
  • And therefore he changed the whole system of justice.
  • 00:01:55.060 --> 00:01:59.398
  • Absalom went around and he changed the history of
  • 00:01:59.398 --> 00:02:02.000
  • Israel.
  • 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.435
  • Absalom went around and he pushed out any president.
  • 00:02:03.435 --> 00:02:06.538
  • And now we see in psalm chapter number three,
  • 00:02:07.472 --> 00:02:11.543
  • We see that he is engulfed.
  • 00:02:12.144 --> 00:02:14.313
  • He's surrounded by thousands of people,
  • 00:02:14.313 --> 00:02:17.082
  • David and his little band.
  • 00:02:17.649 --> 00:02:19.151
  • As they fled from jerusalem,
  • 00:02:19.151 --> 00:02:22.154
  • The king fled barefooted,
  • 00:02:22.154 --> 00:02:24.690
  • Covered himself, was weeping and broken.
  • 00:02:24.690 --> 00:02:28.427
  • And now he goes across the kidron
  • 00:02:28.427 --> 00:02:31.730
  • And he climbs the other side.
  • 00:02:31.730 --> 00:02:33.298
  • Remember, he sends the ark of the covenant back
  • 00:02:33.298 --> 00:02:36.235
  • The presence of god.
  • 00:02:36.235 --> 00:02:37.736
  • And now he goes over the jordan, and he is hiding,
  • 00:02:37.736 --> 00:02:41.506
  • And he is desperate, and he is afraid.
  • 00:02:41.506 --> 00:02:44.142
  • And remember that little phrase,
  • 00:02:44.142 --> 00:02:47.079
  • Psalm three,
  • 00:02:47.412 --> 00:02:49.248
  • The bottom falling out.
  • 00:02:49.248 --> 00:02:51.516
  • And david says,
  • 00:02:51.516 --> 00:02:53.752
  • There's there's no hope.
  • 00:02:53.752 --> 00:02:55.654
  • It's all over the kingdom.
  • 00:02:55.654 --> 00:02:58.357
  • The people of god have been exported and pressed down.
  • 00:02:58.357 --> 00:03:03.829
  • And then that little phrase,
  • 00:03:04.429 --> 00:03:05.731
  • But thou, o lord.
  • 00:03:05.731 --> 00:03:08.867
  • Is that a great phrase?
  • 00:03:08.867 --> 00:03:10.969
  • Whatever's going on in my life, whatever's going on
  • 00:03:10.969 --> 00:03:13.438
  • In your life, however we are pressed, we're confused.
  • 00:03:13.438 --> 00:03:16.775
  • Were broken. we're sick.
  • 00:03:16.775 --> 00:03:18.710
  • If we can look up and say, but thou, o lord,
  • 00:03:18.710 --> 00:03:23.615
  • David, did,
  • 00:03:23.949 --> 00:03:26.618
  • And then he come to the next chapter.
  • 00:03:26.618 --> 00:03:28.520
  • And the problem there is different.
  • 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.722
  • It's not fear.
  • 00:03:30.722 --> 00:03:31.957
  • Evidently they had withdrawn the army was gathering
  • 00:03:31.957 --> 00:03:35.394
  • To resist the godlessness
  • 00:03:35.394 --> 00:03:38.130
  • Of his son absalom.
  • 00:03:38.130 --> 00:03:41.033
  • And now there's another problem,
  • 00:03:41.033 --> 00:03:42.567
  • Because now david is being attacked
  • 00:03:42.567 --> 00:03:46.905
  • Personally
  • 00:03:47.205 --> 00:03:49.074
  • By those who opposed him.
  • 00:03:49.074 --> 00:03:51.276
  • They were slandering, they were fabricating,
  • 00:03:51.276 --> 00:03:54.313
  • They were lying.
  • 00:03:54.313 --> 00:03:55.981
  • They were gossiping.
  • 00:03:55.981 --> 00:03:57.683
  • They were calling back.
  • 00:03:57.683 --> 00:03:59.384
  • All of david's sin and throwing them in his face.
  • 00:03:59.384 --> 00:04:04.323
  • And then we see a strange thing,
  • 00:04:05.023 --> 00:04:08.393
  • A thing that really i didn't see
  • 00:04:08.393 --> 00:04:10.595
  • As i read psalm over and over and over again.
  • 00:04:10.595 --> 00:04:13.432
  • Go back to something you've heard in church all your life.
  • 00:04:14.566 --> 00:04:17.402
  • If you've been around the old testament
  • 00:04:17.402 --> 00:04:20.305
  • Is a new testament concealed.
  • 00:04:20.305 --> 00:04:23.308
  • You've heard that
  • 00:04:23.308 --> 00:04:24.576
  • The new testament is the old testament revealed.
  • 00:04:24.576 --> 00:04:27.679
  • Oh, it sounds good, but what does it mean?
  • 00:04:27.679 --> 00:04:30.615
  • It means in the old
  • 00:04:31.083 --> 00:04:32.451
  • Testament there are the first notes,
  • 00:04:32.451 --> 00:04:35.587
  • The first inklings,
  • 00:04:36.054 --> 00:04:38.357
  • The first moment of fulfilled prophecy.
  • 00:04:38.357 --> 00:04:41.093
  • And we see it in lives.
  • 00:04:41.593 --> 00:04:43.128
  • We see it in the halle.
  • 00:04:43.128 --> 00:04:45.764
  • That's the german word for salvation history,
  • 00:04:45.764 --> 00:04:48.567
  • Which that's what the bible is, salvation history.
  • 00:04:48.567 --> 00:04:51.870
  • And we see the little things and little notes
  • 00:04:51.870 --> 00:04:54.706
  • And little chords in the old testament
  • 00:04:54.706 --> 00:04:56.975
  • That's pointing to pointing to follow me.
  • 00:04:56.975 --> 00:05:01.213
  • Fulfillment in the new testament.
  • 00:05:01.213 --> 00:05:04.316
  • And here we have the law,
  • 00:05:04.883 --> 00:05:06.551
  • And the law is the field inside of grace.
  • 00:05:06.551 --> 00:05:09.287
  • And you tend
  • 00:05:09.287 --> 00:05:10.422
  • All you have little things in the old testament now.
  • 00:05:10.422 --> 00:05:13.225
  • It fulfills in the new testament.
  • 00:05:13.225 --> 00:05:15.827
  • We can see that in psalm four.
  • 00:05:15.827 --> 00:05:18.764
  • And it is a beautiful picture
  • 00:05:18.764 --> 00:05:21.933
  • Of what happens in the new testament
  • 00:05:21.933 --> 00:05:25.036
  • As we see the gleam of it in psalm chapter
  • 00:05:25.036 --> 00:05:28.373
  • Number four, pointing to the fulfillment of it.
  • 00:05:28.373 --> 00:05:32.344
  • Follow me
  • 00:05:32.344 --> 00:05:33.245
  • In the new testament over your bibles.
  • 00:05:34.012 --> 00:05:36.882
  • Psalm chapter number four,
  • 00:05:36.882 --> 00:05:39.851
  • Verse one and two.
  • 00:05:39.851 --> 00:05:43.622
  • Answer me when i call the lord
  • 00:05:44.222 --> 00:05:46.892
  • The god of my righteousness.
  • 00:05:46.892 --> 00:05:50.128
  • You have relieved me in my distress.
  • 00:05:50.128 --> 00:05:53.098
  • Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
  • 00:05:53.932 --> 00:05:57.502
  • By the way, this is the word of salvation.
  • 00:05:57.502 --> 00:06:03.074
  • Well, that's a new testament word, is it?
  • 00:06:03.942 --> 00:06:06.044
  • But here we see the gleaming,
  • 00:06:06.044 --> 00:06:09.481
  • The typology, the pointing to salvation.
  • 00:06:09.481 --> 00:06:12.517
  • And now david is saying, in light of all of this,
  • 00:06:12.517 --> 00:06:15.387
  • He said, i am saved. here it again.
  • 00:06:15.387 --> 00:06:17.589
  • He said, and through me when i call and the picture
  • 00:06:17.589 --> 00:06:20.926
  • There for call to answer is a picture of a child
  • 00:06:20.926 --> 00:06:25.931
  • Trying to get the attention of their father.
  • 00:06:25.931 --> 00:06:28.867
  • And david said, father, here i am, i am desperate.
  • 00:06:28.867 --> 00:06:32.437
  • I had desperation physically and now i have desperation
  • 00:06:32.437 --> 00:06:36.374
  • Emotionally as everybody is attacking me and the slain.
  • 00:06:36.374 --> 00:06:40.278
  • He said, hear me.
  • 00:06:40.278 --> 00:06:42.147
  • In other words,
  • 00:06:42.514 --> 00:06:43.482
  • He's saying, i don't want to see your face
  • 00:06:43.482 --> 00:06:46.451
  • He is way
  • 00:06:46.751 --> 00:06:48.587
  • Alienated from family, from friends.
  • 00:06:48.587 --> 00:06:51.990
  • He's desperate.
  • 00:06:51.990 --> 00:06:52.924
  • And now he calls to god with all of those
  • 00:06:52.924 --> 00:06:55.393
  • Who are slandering him and bringing up old sins
  • 00:06:55.393 --> 00:06:59.164
  • That had long since been forgiven.
  • 00:06:59.164 --> 00:07:01.333
  • And he says, i want to look at your face.
  • 00:07:01.333 --> 00:07:04.636
  • Well, have you ever felt like that?
  • 00:07:04.636 --> 00:07:06.071
  • God, i, i want to see your face.
  • 00:07:06.071 --> 00:07:08.206
  • And this is exactly the picture we see here in this psalm.
  • 00:07:08.206 --> 00:07:13.245
  • Answer me when i call him,
  • 00:07:13.812 --> 00:07:16.014
  • O god of my righteousness, you have received
  • 00:07:16.014 --> 00:07:21.219
  • Me, relieved me in my distress that salvation.
  • 00:07:21.219 --> 00:07:25.557
  • Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
  • 00:07:25.557 --> 00:07:27.893
  • That's when we are saved.
  • 00:07:27.893 --> 00:07:29.995
  • Oh sons of men, how long would you honor?
  • 00:07:29.995 --> 00:07:32.497
  • How long will my honorable come approach?
  • 00:07:33.398 --> 00:07:35.634
  • How long will you love what is worthless
  • 00:07:35.634 --> 00:07:38.336
  • And aim at deception?
  • 00:07:38.336 --> 00:07:42.374
  • Two parts of salvation here.
  • 00:07:42.974 --> 00:07:44.843
  • By the way, this is sort of a preamble.
  • 00:07:44.843 --> 00:07:48.413
  • This is the planning of seeds that will be fulfilled in
  • 00:07:48.413 --> 00:07:51.483
  • New testament.
  • 00:07:51.483 --> 00:07:52.617
  • And this is salvation seen here in the old testament.
  • 00:07:52.617 --> 00:07:55.320
  • And first of all, it is a personal salvation.
  • 00:07:55.320 --> 00:07:58.723
  • That's what we need, first of all, personal salvation.
  • 00:07:58.723 --> 00:08:01.860
  • Here's the word grace, his word, renew his word.
  • 00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:05.797
  • I'm in relationship with you.
  • 00:08:05.797 --> 00:08:07.499
  • Here's the word he's saying.
  • 00:08:07.499 --> 00:08:08.867
  • I am now righteous.
  • 00:08:08.867 --> 00:08:10.435
  • This is the early notes, the early chords.
  • 00:08:10.435 --> 00:08:13.939
  • What are we going to see in fulfillment?
  • 00:08:13.939 --> 00:08:15.941
  • In salvation?
  • 00:08:15.941 --> 00:08:17.108
  • It is a personal salvation
  • 00:08:17.108 --> 00:08:20.178
  • Then the second part.
  • 00:08:20.679 --> 00:08:22.013
  • It's more than person.
  • 00:08:22.013 --> 00:08:23.048
  • It's practical salvation.
  • 00:08:23.048 --> 00:08:24.716
  • That's the guy who's going down.
  • 00:08:24.716 --> 00:08:26.785
  • Verse two.
  • 00:08:26.785 --> 00:08:27.953
  • Oh, sons of man, how long will my ardor become reproach?
  • 00:08:27.953 --> 00:08:31.656
  • How long will you love
  • 00:08:31.656 --> 00:08:33.458
  • What is worthless and aim at deception?
  • 00:08:33.458 --> 00:08:35.927
  • Are you around people all the time
  • 00:08:35.927 --> 00:08:38.830
  • That are negative,
  • 00:08:39.264 --> 00:08:42.067
  • Critical?
  • 00:08:42.067 --> 00:08:43.535
  • Every glass is half full.
  • 00:08:43.535 --> 00:08:46.104
  • No matter what comes up.
  • 00:08:46.104 --> 00:08:47.539
  • They see the dark side of it.
  • 00:08:47.539 --> 00:08:50.575
  • I read only i read this week.
  • 00:08:50.575 --> 00:08:53.011
  • That's the oldest living person in the world today,
  • 00:08:53.011 --> 00:08:56.014
  • As far as we know, is a woman in spain who's
  • 00:08:56.014 --> 00:08:59.584
  • 115 years old.
  • 00:08:59.584 --> 00:09:02.420
  • So when somebody lives a long time,
  • 00:09:02.420 --> 00:09:04.456
  • Always the question is asked,
  • 00:09:04.456 --> 00:09:07.559
  • Why do you attribute
  • 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:09.661
  • The length of your life to?
  • 00:09:09.661 --> 00:09:12.263
  • And they say all kinds of things.
  • 00:09:12.263 --> 00:09:14.733
  • If you study that, a bunch of that
  • 00:09:14.733 --> 00:09:16.735
  • Through the year, you know what she said?
  • 00:09:16.735 --> 00:09:19.337
  • I attribute my long life to staying away
  • 00:09:19.337 --> 00:09:22.741
  • From people that are toxic.
  • 00:09:22.741 --> 00:09:26.911
  • That's good counsel, folks.
  • 00:09:27.512 --> 00:09:30.515
  • And what david is saying, i'm in christ, i'm saved.
  • 00:09:30.515 --> 00:09:34.452
  • I'm righteous.
  • 00:09:34.452 --> 00:09:35.387
  • But there's these toxic people around me
  • 00:09:35.387 --> 00:09:37.922
  • That will keep on blasting, blasting away
  • 00:09:37.922 --> 00:09:40.959
  • At all of my sins, past and present.
  • 00:09:40.959 --> 00:09:44.496
  • And he said, i want salvation from them,
  • 00:09:44.496 --> 00:09:48.667
  • Personal relation with god, and then salvation
  • 00:09:48.667 --> 00:09:52.003
  • From all the toxicity that surrounds so many of us.
  • 00:09:52.003 --> 00:09:56.007
  • Salvation, verse one and two.
  • 00:09:56.007 --> 00:09:58.576
  • And then we look at verse three and four.
  • 00:09:58.576 --> 00:10:00.545
  • It is sanctification.
  • 00:10:00.545 --> 00:10:03.748
  • He said, but know that the lord has set apart
  • 00:10:03.748 --> 00:10:07.552
  • The godly man for himself.
  • 00:10:08.119 --> 00:10:10.889
  • The lord hears when i call to him,
  • 00:10:10.889 --> 00:10:13.825
  • Do you know that
  • 00:10:14.225 --> 00:10:16.428
  • He says, therefore tremble, and do not sin.
  • 00:10:16.428 --> 00:10:19.464
  • Meditate in your heart upon your bed.
  • 00:10:19.464 --> 00:10:22.267
  • And they still this is sanctification.
  • 00:10:22.267 --> 00:10:25.503
  • He said, i have been set upon.
  • 00:10:25.503 --> 00:10:28.973
  • David knows that all the challenges is facing him.
  • 00:10:28.973 --> 00:10:32.711
  • It is a process of god
  • 00:10:32.711 --> 00:10:34.512
  • As setting him apart, and he's finding out
  • 00:10:34.512 --> 00:10:37.515
  • How god has indeed blessed him, how god has used him,
  • 00:10:37.515 --> 00:10:42.120
  • How god had indeed called him, how god indeed
  • 00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.457
  • Is challenging him for the future.
  • 00:10:45.457 --> 00:10:47.759
  • How do you know?
  • 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.161
  • Everybody wants a happy home.
  • 00:10:50.795 --> 00:10:53.798
  • But let's be honest.
  • 00:10:53.798 --> 00:10:55.300
  • A happy home doesn't just happen.
  • 00:10:55.300 --> 00:10:58.203
  • It's built.
  • 00:10:58.203 --> 00:10:59.471

  • We've been dating for five and a half years.
  • 00:12:29.661 --> 00:12:32.197
  • I went to be an interim pastor of a church
  • 00:12:32.197 --> 00:12:34.966

  • I get in line to register a long line.
  • 00:12:38.036 --> 00:12:41.005

  • I'm. i'm in front of somebody i know fairly well

  • Joe jobs needs to find a job.
  • 00:12:58.623 --> 00:13:01.092
  • And boy, i know jobs are scarce all around me.
  • 00:13:01.092 --> 00:13:03.695
  • All the students,
  • 00:13:03.695 --> 00:13:04.896
  • All the colleges, universities there in the piedmont area.
  • 00:13:04.896 --> 00:13:08.967

  • To help him write his thesis.
  • 00:13:16.140 --> 00:13:19.210
  • And i'll
  • 00:13:19.477 --> 00:13:20.545
  • Never forget what his thesis was, the hard phase
  • 00:13:20.545 --> 00:13:24.249
  • In eastern north carolina.
  • 00:13:24.249 --> 00:13:27.518
  • He was writing a thesis on
  • 00:13:28.086 --> 00:13:31.189
  • How hogs were dealt with in eastern north carolina.
  • 00:13:31.189 --> 00:13:34.926
  • And he did it and got a page ph.d.
  • 00:13:34.926 --> 00:13:37.262
  • Folks.
  • 00:13:37.262 --> 00:13:41.232
  • Anyway, jobs went and applied for that job,
  • 00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:45.036
  • And he said, my wife's going to work.
  • 00:13:45.036 --> 00:13:46.905
  • Why don't you let her ride
  • 00:13:46.905 --> 00:13:48.072
  • And she can apply for the job and maybe get it?
  • 00:13:48.072 --> 00:13:50.275
  • I said, great,
  • 00:13:50.275 --> 00:13:51.843
  • And i said, also, i don't have any place to stay.
  • 00:13:51.843 --> 00:13:54.078
  • I didn't plan on that.
  • 00:13:54.078 --> 00:13:55.346
  • You know, how advanced planning it was.
  • 00:13:55.346 --> 00:13:58.182
  • And the guy behind me
  • 00:13:58.182 --> 00:13:59.250
  • Said, you know, everything on the campus is full.
  • 00:13:59.250 --> 00:14:02.186
  • Every apartment, everything is full.
  • 00:14:02.186 --> 00:14:03.855
  • But he said, you know, there's a dorm mother named mrs.
  • 00:14:03.855 --> 00:14:07.959
  • Wanders.
  • 00:14:07.959 --> 00:14:09.327
  • And about ten miles from town, she has a real log cabin,
  • 00:14:09.327 --> 00:14:15.166
  • Not one that's been made by who knows what,
  • 00:14:15.166 --> 00:14:18.069
  • But a real log cabin.
  • 00:14:18.069 --> 00:14:20.905
  • And she rents out half of it to students.
  • 00:14:20.905 --> 00:14:24.909
  • And i said, that sounds like perfection.
  • 00:14:24.909 --> 00:14:28.179
  • And so i go and she
  • 00:14:28.646 --> 00:14:31.115
  • Measures winders and joe barth and we see this log cabin.
  • 00:14:31.115 --> 00:14:34.886
  • It is so romantic.
  • 00:14:34.886 --> 00:14:36.354
  • I'm telling you, you go up these steps to sleep in a log.
  • 00:14:36.354 --> 00:14:40.291
  • Literally.
  • 00:14:40.291 --> 00:14:41.426
  • It was one room, a little kitchen,
  • 00:14:41.426 --> 00:14:43.294
  • A little sitting area, log cabin out in the woods.
  • 00:14:43.294 --> 00:14:46.497
  • Boy what you can find a better place
  • 00:14:46.497 --> 00:14:48.366
  • Than that in the plant and go to school.
  • 00:14:48.366 --> 00:14:50.735
  • Joe barth goes to raleigh.
  • 00:14:50.735 --> 00:14:52.904
  • She applies for that job.
  • 00:14:52.904 --> 00:14:54.305
  • There were about 70 or 80 other
  • 00:14:54.305 --> 00:14:57.275
  • Young ladies trying to get the same job.
  • 00:14:57.275 --> 00:15:00.178
  • Joe west got it
  • 00:15:00.545 --> 00:15:02.680
  • Because she was a college graduate, but that wasn't
  • 00:15:02.680 --> 00:15:05.316
  • The reason she'd taken typing in shorthand in high school.
  • 00:15:05.316 --> 00:15:09.654
  • So she got the job.
  • 00:15:09.654 --> 00:15:10.855
  • So we come back now she's got a job
  • 00:15:10.855 --> 00:15:13.358
  • Making the lofty salary.
  • 00:15:13.358 --> 00:15:15.560
  • Never forget it. $190 a month.
  • 00:15:15.560 --> 00:15:18.262
  • I mean, where could you live with more affluence
  • 00:15:18.262 --> 00:15:20.164
  • That and go to school.
  • 00:15:20.164 --> 00:15:22.934
  • And i could study and go to school and
  • 00:15:22.934 --> 00:15:26.471
  • Play basketball in the afternoon.
  • 00:15:26.471 --> 00:15:28.806
  • And that's what i did.
  • 00:15:29.273 --> 00:15:31.876
  • And so everything was great
  • 00:15:31.876 --> 00:15:34.879
  • Until it got cold.
  • 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:37.648
  • It gets cold in north carolina.
  • 00:15:38.282 --> 00:15:40.451
  • It's no we can look out and see the outside.
  • 00:15:40.451 --> 00:15:43.855
  • Do those logs.
  • 00:15:43.855 --> 00:15:45.957
  • The heating was not there.
  • 00:15:45.957 --> 00:15:47.291
  • And i said we got to do something
  • 00:15:47.291 --> 00:15:48.826
  • That we're going to freeze to death.
  • 00:15:48.826 --> 00:15:52.797
  • And so i go

  • We got a waiting list for 20 or 30 couples.
  • 00:16:06.110 --> 00:16:09.147

  • Other than that, we're fine.
  • 00:16:15.420 --> 00:16:17.555

  • 00:17:11.742 --> 00:17:14.245
  • She said, how much?
  • 00:17:14.245 --> 00:17:16.214
  • And i said, well, $40.
  • 00:17:16.681 --> 00:17:19.717
  • She said she looked it up.
  • 00:17:19.717 --> 00:17:21.452
  • She said, we only have $11 in the bank.
  • 00:17:21.452 --> 00:17:24.856
  • So i had written a bad check
  • 00:17:25.456 --> 00:17:28.593
  • To a seminary
  • 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.362
  • That was training me
  • 00:17:31.362 --> 00:17:33.865
  • To be a pastor and supposedly a man of god,
  • 00:17:33.865 --> 00:17:37.668
  • And i didn't know what to do.
  • 00:17:38.302 --> 00:17:39.470
  • Since the campus was empty, all my friends were gone.
  • 00:17:39.470 --> 00:17:43.241
  • I had no way back then to get $40,
  • 00:17:43.241 --> 00:17:46.177
  • And i knew they would probably cash it during the holidays,
  • 00:17:46.177 --> 00:17:49.614
  • And there i'd be a pastor to be
  • 00:17:49.614 --> 00:17:53.618
  • Or not to be
  • 00:17:53.951 --> 00:17:56.721
  • Pastor.
  • 00:17:56.721 --> 00:17:57.355
  • Bad trip to the seminary.
  • 00:17:57.355 --> 00:18:00.725
  • So we're driving in and we're praying and wondering
  • 00:18:00.725 --> 00:18:03.694
  • And saying, well,
  • 00:18:03.694 --> 00:18:04.695
  • I don't know who we can get $40.
  • 00:18:04.695 --> 00:18:07.331
  • I was trying to say to the campus
  • 00:18:07.331 --> 00:18:09.100
  • Closed down, it was snowy.
  • 00:18:09.100 --> 00:18:10.768
  • I mean, it was all over.
  • 00:18:10.768 --> 00:18:12.737
  • And we go by the post office box and we opened the box
  • 00:18:12.737 --> 00:18:15.706
  • And i had an aunt gladys who was like my second mother.
  • 00:18:15.706 --> 00:18:19.076
  • They had no children, and i had heard from her
  • 00:18:19.076 --> 00:18:22.180
  • A little bit, but not a long time.
  • 00:18:22.180 --> 00:18:24.849
  • We pulled out an envelope
  • 00:18:25.416 --> 00:18:28.419
  • And i opened the envelope and there was.
  • 00:18:28.419 --> 00:18:33.591
  • $220 bills.
  • 00:18:33.925 --> 00:18:37.094
  • She was a beautician,
  • 00:18:37.595 --> 00:18:40.064
  • Fixed hair in her home,
  • 00:18:40.064 --> 00:18:43.267
  • And that $40 was like
  • 00:18:43.267 --> 00:18:46.003
  • A hundred thousand to some of you here.
  • 00:18:46.003 --> 00:18:48.973
  • And i looked at that, looked at jobs.
  • 00:18:49.774 --> 00:18:52.643
  • I said, but thou.
  • 00:18:53.077 --> 00:18:56.514
  • You see,
  • 00:18:56.781 --> 00:18:58.015
  • God affirm so many times when we're seeking the wall
  • 00:18:58.015 --> 00:19:02.019
  • With him, things that happen
  • 00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:03.888
  • That we say voids or accidents, circumstantial burdens.
  • 00:19:03.888 --> 00:19:06.924
  • But thou, o lord, that's what
  • 00:19:06.924 --> 00:19:09.627
  • David was experienced in sanctification.
  • 00:19:09.627 --> 00:19:12.363
  • And then the next thing is worship.
  • 00:19:13.130 --> 00:19:15.766
  • Powerful thing of worship.
  • 00:19:15.766 --> 00:19:18.436
  • Verse five offered the sacrifices
  • 00:19:18.436 --> 00:19:20.805
  • Of righteousness and trust in the lord.
  • 00:19:20.805 --> 00:19:23.507
  • Verse six.
  • 00:19:23.507 --> 00:19:24.442
  • Many are saying, who will show us any good?
  • 00:19:24.442 --> 00:19:28.012
  • Lift up the light of your candles upon us.
  • 00:19:28.012 --> 00:19:31.182
  • What does that mean?
  • 00:19:31.649 --> 00:19:33.251
  • Lift up the light of your countenance.
  • 00:19:33.251 --> 00:19:36.420
  • It's lord,
  • 00:19:36.721 --> 00:19:38.522
  • I want to see your face.
  • 00:19:38.522 --> 00:19:41.459
  • Lord, i want to see your face.
  • 00:19:41.459 --> 00:19:44.362
  • Serve the lord with gladness.
  • 00:19:44.996 --> 00:19:46.430
  • Come before his presence with singing.
  • 00:19:46.430 --> 00:19:48.199
  • Know you that the lord he is.
  • 00:19:48.199 --> 00:19:49.600
  • Look, he is god.
  • 00:19:49.600 --> 00:19:51.168
  • May the lord bless you and keep you.
  • 00:19:51.168 --> 00:19:52.870
  • May the lord make his countenance shine upon you,
  • 00:19:52.870 --> 00:19:56.007
  • And be gracious unto you.
  • 00:19:56.007 --> 00:19:58.709
  • Oh, yea, and give you peace.
  • 00:19:58.709 --> 00:20:00.945
  • The face of god.
  • 00:20:00.945 --> 00:20:03.781
  • Does anybody hear?
  • 00:20:04.215 --> 00:20:07.084
  • Want to see the face of god?
  • 00:20:07.084 --> 00:20:12.023
  • The smile of god, boy,
  • 00:20:12.490 --> 00:20:15.660
  • How is that possible?
  • 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.262
  • Listen, we have to understand one basic premise of life.
  • 00:20:18.262 --> 00:20:22.266
  • God created all of us so that we could know him
  • 00:20:22.266 --> 00:20:26.037
  • And so he could know us.
  • 00:20:26.037 --> 00:20:28.706
  • But how do we see him?
  • 00:20:28.706 --> 00:20:30.308
  • How do we see the very face of god?
  • 00:20:30.308 --> 00:20:33.978
  • Quickly follow me.
  • 00:20:33.978 --> 00:20:36.113
  • You have to think and concentrate for a moment.
  • 00:20:36.113 --> 00:20:38.983
  • You remember when
  • 00:20:39.417 --> 00:20:40.351
  • Jesus was crucified,
  • 00:20:40.351 --> 00:20:43.554
  • A lot of things supernaturally happened.
  • 00:20:43.554 --> 00:20:46.791
  • My god, my god, why hast thou forsaken me?
  • 00:20:46.791 --> 00:20:49.860
  • And immediately following that, remember
  • 00:20:49.860 --> 00:20:52.396
  • There was darkness, there was earthquakes.
  • 00:20:52.396 --> 00:20:54.699
  • The opening of graves.
  • 00:20:54.699 --> 00:20:55.766
  • All these things happened.
  • 00:20:55.766 --> 00:20:57.368
  • But the first thing matthew tells us,
  • 00:20:57.368 --> 00:21:00.905
  • The first thing happened after jesus said, it is finished,
  • 00:21:00.905 --> 00:21:05.376
  • The first thing it happened, the veil
  • 00:21:05.376 --> 00:21:08.679
  • And the temple was went
  • 00:21:09.180 --> 00:21:11.482
  • Not from bottom
  • 00:21:11.482 --> 00:21:13.884
  • To the top, but from top to the bottom.
  • 00:21:13.884 --> 00:21:16.987
  • And that veil is what kept everybody
  • 00:21:16.987 --> 00:21:20.658
  • Out of the holy of holies, which is where the ark was,
  • 00:21:20.658 --> 00:21:24.228
  • Which is where god was in sheer kind of glory in the temple.
  • 00:21:24.228 --> 00:21:28.699
  • And now, for the first time,
  • 00:21:29.300 --> 00:21:32.603
  • Anybody, everybody could go and look into the
  • 00:21:32.603 --> 00:21:36.774
  • Presence of god and go into the holy of holies.
  • 00:21:36.774 --> 00:21:41.379
  • You see what happened?
  • 00:21:41.846 --> 00:21:43.013
  • Jesus died for sin
  • 00:21:43.013 --> 00:21:45.916
  • As he took sin upon all of humanity,
  • 00:21:45.916 --> 00:21:49.019
  • And therefore now when people have said in the old testament,
  • 00:21:49.019 --> 00:21:52.123
  • If you looked at god, you'll die, right?
  • 00:21:52.123 --> 00:21:54.225
  • Anybody who sees god will die.
  • 00:21:54.225 --> 00:21:55.993
  • But now in the new testament, you want to see god.
  • 00:21:55.993 --> 00:21:58.262
  • You just look at jesus.
  • 00:21:58.262 --> 00:21:59.530
  • That was god in human flesh.
  • 00:21:59.530 --> 00:22:01.165
  • And when jesus died and took all of our sin
  • 00:22:01.165 --> 00:22:04.435
  • And the sins of the world upon himself,
  • 00:22:04.435 --> 00:22:06.604
  • Now there was access to god.
  • 00:22:06.604 --> 00:22:09.874
  • We can go because that david talks
  • 00:22:10.641 --> 00:22:13.043
  • About the righteousness of god in his life.
  • 00:22:13.043 --> 00:22:15.813
  • We can go.
  • 00:22:15.813 --> 00:22:16.647
  • We can look into the holy of holies,
  • 00:22:16.647 --> 00:22:18.816
  • And we can see into the holy of holies.
  • 00:22:18.816 --> 00:22:21.185
  • And nobody went in there
  • 00:22:21.185 --> 00:22:23.053
  • During the day to temple except the high priest.
  • 00:22:23.053 --> 00:22:25.656
  • Once a year
  • 00:22:25.656 --> 00:22:27.091
  • To make a sacrifice on the altar.
  • 00:22:27.825 --> 00:22:30.294
  • But jesus made the total sacrifice
  • 00:22:30.294 --> 00:22:33.564
  • And made the smile of god.
  • 00:22:33.564 --> 00:22:35.800
  • The presence of god, available to everybody.
  • 00:22:35.800 --> 00:22:39.136
  • I imagine something
  • 00:22:39.603 --> 00:22:42.106
  • Why is it
  • 00:22:42.106 --> 00:22:44.408
  • That so many of us
  • 00:22:44.408 --> 00:22:46.944
  • Have stayed and just
  • 00:22:46.944 --> 00:22:49.647
  • Stayed outside of the holy of holies?
  • 00:22:49.647 --> 00:22:53.117
  • Why? why have we just
  • 00:22:53.617 --> 00:22:55.820
  • Never gone in and never experienced
  • 00:22:55.820 --> 00:22:57.955
  • The face, the literal presence of god?
  • 00:22:57.955 --> 00:23:00.825
  • Why are we going in?
  • 00:23:01.292 --> 00:23:02.960
  • We can be qualified because jesus in christ
  • 00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.729
  • Has made you and me righteous, right?
  • 00:23:05.729 --> 00:23:08.666
  • We've been forgiven. we've been cleansed.
  • 00:23:08.666 --> 00:23:10.668
  • Why do we not go in?
  • 00:23:10.668 --> 00:23:13.971
  • Why don't we sort of stay outside
  • 00:23:13.971 --> 00:23:16.907
  • And not ever see the smile of god?
  • 00:23:16.907 --> 00:23:21.645
  • You know why
  • 00:23:21.979 --> 00:23:24.248
  • Is because we still have a lot
  • 00:23:24.248 --> 00:23:27.284
  • In our lives that has not yet been crucified.
  • 00:23:27.284 --> 00:23:32.790
  • Galatians 220 a lot of us
  • 00:23:33.357 --> 00:23:35.259
  • Know it, a lot of us familiar with it.
  • 00:23:35.259 --> 00:23:38.329
  • I was crucified with christ.
  • 00:23:38.929 --> 00:23:40.731
  • Nevertheless, i live yet not i, but christ lives in me.
  • 00:23:40.731 --> 00:23:45.336
  • Well, i was crucified with christ.
  • 00:23:46.103 --> 00:23:48.973
  • Have you have i really been crucified with christ?
  • 00:23:48.973 --> 00:23:51.876
  • Let me tell you something about being crucified.
  • 00:23:51.876 --> 00:23:54.545
  • Being crucified means bloodshed, right?
  • 00:23:54.545 --> 00:23:57.848
  • Can you have a crucifixion without the shedding of blood?
  • 00:23:57.848 --> 00:24:00.784
  • Can anybody here be crucified without shedding a blood?
  • 00:24:00.784 --> 00:24:05.389
  • And what we've done,
  • 00:24:05.856 --> 00:24:06.991
  • We've taken the cross and we've eliminated the cross.
  • 00:24:06.991 --> 00:24:09.360
  • Because, by the way, when you get on the cross, you die.
  • 00:24:09.360 --> 00:24:13.130
  • Death is never good.
  • 00:24:13.597 --> 00:24:15.065
  • Death is never fun.
  • 00:24:15.065 --> 00:24:17.268
  • Death is horrific.
  • 00:24:17.268 --> 00:24:18.936
  • Death is result of sin.
  • 00:24:18.936 --> 00:24:22.172
  • And therefore, if you and i are to know
  • 00:24:22.172 --> 00:24:25.109
  • Something of the very smile of god,
  • 00:24:25.109 --> 00:24:29.446
  • The calendar's of
  • 00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:30.848
  • God, we have to genuinely
  • 00:24:30.848 --> 00:24:33.851
  • Go to that cross.
  • 00:24:33.851 --> 00:24:37.054
  • And the cross is horrible.
  • 00:24:37.054 --> 00:24:39.123
  • It's horrific, it's brutal, it's painful.
  • 00:24:39.123 --> 00:24:42.660
  • And experience something of the pain in your life.
  • 00:24:42.660 --> 00:24:46.530
  • And in my life
  • 00:24:46.530 --> 00:24:49.066
  • To be crucified.
  • 00:24:49.066 --> 00:24:50.234
  • And when we stay there and we die, what is the
  • 00:24:50.234 --> 00:24:53.771
  • What is the veil that's keeping us from going
  • 00:24:54.705 --> 00:24:57.408
  • In the holy of holies?
  • 00:24:57.408 --> 00:24:58.809
  • It's a veil of flesh and pride and self
  • 00:24:58.809 --> 00:25:03.347
  • That covers our hearts and our minds,
  • 00:25:03.347 --> 00:25:05.516
  • And that has to be crucified and cut out of us
  • 00:25:05.516 --> 00:25:09.520
  • In order for us to be able to go into the holy of holies
  • 00:25:10.654 --> 00:25:14.858
  • And see the smile of god.
  • 00:25:14.858 --> 00:25:19.763
  • Spend some time
  • 00:25:20.130 --> 00:25:21.332
  • At the foot of the cross
  • 00:25:21.332 --> 00:25:24.134
  • And die
  • 00:25:24.134 --> 00:25:25.936
  • And die.
  • 00:25:25.936 --> 00:25:27.771
  • And then, like jesus, will be resurrected
  • 00:25:27.771 --> 00:25:31.542
  • And all of a sudden
  • 00:25:32.009 --> 00:25:33.978
  • We begin to see and to feel and to know
  • 00:25:33.978 --> 00:25:38.215
  • The presence of god in the lives of people
  • 00:25:39.083 --> 00:25:42.186
  • And events of life.
  • 00:25:42.653 --> 00:25:44.922
  • And god will do a miraculous work.
  • 00:25:44.922 --> 00:25:47.424
  • I pray in all of us
  • 00:25:47.424 --> 00:25:50.394
  • And in the american which we live.
  • 00:25:50.394 --> 00:25:53.998
  • Everybody wants a happy home.
  • 00:25:54.632 --> 00:25:57.635
  • But let's be honest.
  • 00:25:57.635 --> 00:25:59.136
  • A happy home doesn't just happen.
  • 00:25:59.136 --> 00:26:02.039
  • It's built.
  • 00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:03.307
  • It's shaped.
  • 00:26:03.307 --> 00:26:04.742
  • Day by day by day.
  • 00:26:04.742 --> 00:26:06.877
