The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Walk With God | March 4, 2026

Man, you know, my kids don't
00:00:01.658 --> 00:00:03.493
Go to everything they offer at the school
00:00:03.493 --> 00:00:06.629
Because we walk with god.
00:00:07.197 --> 00:00:08.998
My kids, they were selected
00:00:08.998 --> 00:00:11.101
And they could work on sunday morning
00:00:11.101 --> 00:00:12.869
And these little league things.
00:00:12.869 --> 00:00:14.104
But, you know, we had church on sunday morning.
00:00:14.104 --> 00:00:16.406
My kid's not going to be a part of that
00:00:16.406 --> 00:00:19.209
School. i'm talking about.
00:00:19.209 --> 00:00:21.478
And all of a sudden we withdraw from things and activities
00:00:21.478 --> 00:00:24.581
That the world just endorses and applauds.
00:00:24.581 --> 00:00:29.119
We withdraw from
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:30.653
Because our family walks with god and there's ridicule,
00:00:30.653 --> 00:00:33.656
There's questions, and you're some kind of religious kook.
00:00:33.656 --> 00:00:36.626
You folks, i mean, you know, it's the 21st century.
00:00:36.626 --> 00:00:40.964
God is not distant.
00:00:41.431 --> 00:00:43.867
He is faithful.
00:00:43.867 --> 00:00:45.068
He is here and he has given us everything we need for a life.
00:00:45.068 --> 00:00:49.439
A life of victory and success.
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.942
Today you're going to look at how
00:00:52.942 --> 00:00:54.978
Personal spirituality is about religion.
00:00:54.978 --> 00:00:58.014
It's about that relationship.
00:00:58.648 --> 00:01:00.817
It's about discovering the strength that comes
00:01:00.817 --> 00:01:03.253
From walking closely
00:01:03.253 --> 00:01:06.156
With the lord every single day.
00:01:06.156 --> 00:01:09.459
And thank you for being a part of the winning walk,
00:01:09.459 --> 00:01:12.195
This family.
00:01:12.195 --> 00:01:29.946
It may
00:01:30.146 --> 00:01:32.482
Stagger you if you haven't thought about it.
00:01:32.482 --> 00:01:35.752
But from genesis to revelation,
00:01:36.386 --> 00:01:39.289
By the way, let me remind you it is revelation.
00:01:39.289 --> 00:01:41.791
It does not have an s on it.
00:01:41.791 --> 00:01:44.661
I studied revelation for one year in seminary
00:01:45.595 --> 00:01:48.598
And the professor said, if anybody ever says revelations,
00:01:48.598 --> 00:01:52.135
They will flood my course.
00:01:52.135 --> 00:01:53.503
Regardless, they grades.
00:01:53.503 --> 00:01:55.939
So is genesis to revelation
00:01:55.939 --> 00:02:00.109
From genesis to revelation.
00:02:00.710 --> 00:02:03.746
How many times
00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:05.348
You hear the phrase walking with god?
00:02:05.348 --> 00:02:09.686
Someone who walks with god.
00:02:09.686 --> 00:02:11.721
Someone who no longer walks with god.
00:02:11.721 --> 00:02:15.091
Someone who desires to walk with god.
00:02:15.091 --> 00:02:17.927
You hear the phrase walk with god.
00:02:17.927 --> 00:02:20.063
Walk with god over and over and over again.
00:02:20.063 --> 00:02:23.800
And it begins right in the early chapters of genesis.
00:02:24.801 --> 00:02:28.638
Now, ladies and gentlemen, i want to tell you something,
00:02:28.638 --> 00:02:32.675
And you already know it.
00:02:33.209 --> 00:02:35.511
Look at the whole world
00:02:35.511 --> 00:02:38.381
In the 21st century right now,
00:02:38.982 --> 00:02:42.185
And you will see without any question,
00:02:43.019 --> 00:02:45.822
As in the days of genesis.
00:02:45.822 --> 00:02:49.692
The world is in a mess.
00:02:50.193 --> 00:02:56.432
Read doctor henley's
00:02:56.899 --> 00:02:59.769
Globe quake.
00:03:00.103 --> 00:03:01.871
He'll tell you about it.
00:03:01.871 --> 00:03:03.640
Read the newspaper.
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:05.241
Listen to the news.
00:03:05.241 --> 00:03:06.776
Open your eyes, your ears.
00:03:06.776 --> 00:03:08.878
Look at any area of endeavor.
00:03:08.878 --> 00:03:11.614
The world is in a mess because we have moved.
00:03:12.482 --> 00:03:15.918
All of us have moved away from the mornings and teachings.
00:03:15.918 --> 00:03:20.723
And of almighty god.
00:03:20.723 --> 00:03:24.527
Very, very few people are walking for god.
00:03:25.395 --> 00:03:27.897
So god brings judgment.
00:03:27.897 --> 00:03:29.399
God is the god of love, but also god is a god of justice.
00:03:29.399 --> 00:03:33.703
And they're juxtaposed.
00:03:34.203 --> 00:03:35.405
Not really.
00:03:35.405 --> 00:03:37.006
And so god knew
00:03:37.006 --> 00:03:39.242
That he could not bring into the world the messiah,
00:03:39.242 --> 00:03:41.644
The one who we
00:03:41.644 --> 00:03:42.912
Discovered in genesis, would crush the head of satan.
00:03:42.912 --> 00:03:46.215
Though the devil is not mentioned
00:03:46.916 --> 00:03:48.284
In genesis after chapter three.
00:03:48.284 --> 00:03:50.053
He's very much alive and well and moves
00:03:50.053 --> 00:03:52.689
Against the affairs of god, and it is compromised.
00:03:52.689 --> 00:03:57.427
It is compromised.
00:03:57.860 --> 00:04:00.063
And now, suddenly, because of these generations
00:04:00.063 --> 00:04:04.067
Of compromise, the bible tells us
00:04:04.067 --> 00:04:07.770
That all of the world was caught up in violence
00:04:07.770 --> 00:04:12.141
And godlessness in immorality,
00:04:12.742 --> 00:04:16.813
And their minds were constantly
00:04:16.813 --> 00:04:19.115
Filled with evil,
00:04:19.115 --> 00:04:22.118
And that it
00:04:22.118 --> 00:04:24.053
In this moment,
00:04:24.053 --> 00:04:25.488
God was going to blot out the world because it had broken
00:04:25.488 --> 00:04:28.991
His heart.
00:04:28.991 --> 00:04:29.659
B c mankind.
00:04:29.659 --> 00:04:31.294
You and me, human beings.
00:04:31.294 --> 00:04:32.662
We're the only thing god ever created
00:04:32.662 --> 00:04:34.997
That has the ability and the capacity
00:04:34.997 --> 00:04:37.467
To walk with him and to know him.
00:04:37.467 --> 00:04:39.435
Nothing else alive can do that.
00:04:39.435 --> 00:04:41.804
Remain his image.
00:04:41.804 --> 00:04:43.239
Free choice. creativity. freedom.
00:04:43.239 --> 00:04:45.775
We have the ability to know god. god with god.
00:04:45.775 --> 00:04:47.877
Nothing else. life has that ability.
00:04:47.877 --> 00:04:50.079
We're the highest.
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:51.047
We have to be the apex of creation.
00:04:51.047 --> 00:04:53.950
And now man had turned totally away from god.
00:04:54.884 --> 00:04:57.854
But god looked all over the world for a remnant.
00:04:57.854 --> 00:05:02.959
Somebody, some family
00:05:03.459 --> 00:05:05.895
Somewhere who could be the connection
00:05:05.895 --> 00:05:10.299
Between the old order and the new order.
00:05:10.299 --> 00:05:13.703
As god would bring judgment with the flood,
00:05:13.703 --> 00:05:16.873
There need to be a connection with the animal world,
00:05:16.873 --> 00:05:19.809
With his created order and with those that
00:05:19.809 --> 00:05:22.645
He created human beings in the image of god himself.
00:05:22.645 --> 00:05:26.716
And he looked for someone, and he found him
00:05:26.716 --> 00:05:29.385
In a family.
00:05:29.385 --> 00:05:32.288
He found noah.
00:05:32.288 --> 00:05:34.590
Noah's great grandfather was enoch.
00:05:34.590 --> 00:05:37.293
Enoch walk with god and was not because god took you.
00:05:37.293 --> 00:05:39.996
Remember enoch and needed god.
00:05:39.996 --> 00:05:42.165
A boy named methuselah
00:05:42.165 --> 00:05:43.433
Live longer than anybody else ever lived.
00:05:43.433 --> 00:05:45.201
996 years, methuselah, a whole family.
00:05:45.201 --> 00:05:50.173
They came through there and lamech cain,
00:05:50.173 --> 00:05:53.142
The son of methuselah and lamech, had a boy named noah.
00:05:53.142 --> 00:05:57.613
And we'll read in a minute
00:05:58.181 --> 00:05:59.282
That noah walked with god,
00:05:59.282 --> 00:06:02.985
And god selected noah.
00:06:02.985 --> 00:06:06.956
Noah to change the world
00:06:07.490 --> 00:06:10.393
And to begin a new creation after the flood.
00:06:10.393 --> 00:06:13.796
Listen, as this is told briefly in
00:06:13.796 --> 00:06:16.332
Scripture, genesis chapter six, verse one.
00:06:16.332 --> 00:06:19.735
Now it came about that when men begin to multiply on the face
00:06:19.735 --> 00:06:22.805
Of the land, and daughters were born to them,
00:06:22.805 --> 00:06:25.975
That the sons of god saw,
00:06:25.975 --> 00:06:27.877
That the daughters of men following the sons of god.
00:06:27.877 --> 00:06:31.547
Seth saw the daughters of men.
00:06:31.547 --> 00:06:34.050
Cain were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves.
00:06:34.050 --> 00:06:38.621
Whomever they chose to get that
00:06:38.621 --> 00:06:43.292
They married, whomever they chose
00:06:43.993 --> 00:06:48.564
Different.
00:06:48.865 --> 00:06:50.366
Look at verse number five.
00:06:50.366 --> 00:06:53.269
Then the lord saw
00:06:53.269 --> 00:06:54.604
That the wickedness of man was greater on the earth,
00:06:54.604 --> 00:06:57.740
And that every intent of the thoughts
00:06:57.740 --> 00:06:59.842
Of the heart of his heart
00:06:59.842 --> 00:07:01.511
Was evil continuously, and that what i just said,
00:07:01.511 --> 00:07:06.048
Now look
00:07:06.315 --> 00:07:08.518
At verse eight and nine.
00:07:08.518 --> 00:07:09.752
But noah found favor in the eyes of god.
00:07:09.752 --> 00:07:12.355
Listen, people
00:07:12.355 --> 00:07:13.422
Running around on to have found the favor of god.
00:07:13.422 --> 00:07:17.059
Let me tell you something.
00:07:17.059 --> 00:07:18.327
The favor of god comes only to those who walk with god.
00:07:18.327 --> 00:07:22.899
He doesn't just arbitrarily throw around.
00:07:22.899 --> 00:07:24.967
I'm going to throw a favor at you.
00:07:24.967 --> 00:07:26.836
I'm going to heal you.
00:07:26.836 --> 00:07:28.571
I'm going to give you a zillion, i don't know.
00:07:28.571 --> 00:07:30.406
No, they're genuine.
00:07:30.406 --> 00:07:32.108
Favor of god comes only to those
00:07:32.108 --> 00:07:35.411
Who walk with god.
00:07:35.411 --> 00:07:38.414
Noah walked with god.
00:07:38.414 --> 00:07:42.351
That's it.
00:07:42.652 --> 00:07:46.322
Jim collins
00:07:46.656 --> 00:07:49.125
Is the peter drucker of the 21st century.
00:07:49.125 --> 00:07:51.794
In my opinion, peter drucker was the business guru.
00:07:51.794 --> 00:07:54.730
As you know.
00:07:55.064 --> 00:07:57.633
Oh, the last generation.
00:07:57.633 --> 00:08:00.469
Now we have jim collins, who comes along, and he is the
00:08:00.469 --> 00:08:04.073
The guru in the corporate world today.
00:08:04.073 --> 00:08:07.443
Now, collins.
00:08:07.810 --> 00:08:10.813
In his book good to great,
00:08:10.813 --> 00:08:12.448
Which sold over, what, 3 million copies,
00:08:12.448 --> 00:08:16.018
Has read a new book that's better than that book.
00:08:16.018 --> 00:08:18.254
It's great by choice.
00:08:18.254 --> 00:08:20.756
And in that book, he asks the question.
00:08:20.756 --> 00:08:23.960
He says,
00:08:24.226 --> 00:08:27.063
What corporations, since
00:08:27.597 --> 00:08:31.033
1972 to 2002
00:08:31.367 --> 00:08:34.437
Were the most profitable?
00:08:35.004 --> 00:08:37.206
In other words,
00:08:37.206 --> 00:08:38.641
If you had invested your money in 1972 and you kept
00:08:38.641 --> 00:08:41.744
It invested in one corporation until 2002, what
00:08:41.744 --> 00:08:45.648
Would be the best investment return on the dollar?
00:08:45.648 --> 00:08:48.384
That you could have made?
00:08:48.384 --> 00:08:49.352
Would it be gibbs choices?
00:08:49.352 --> 00:08:51.420
Johnson and johnson, southwest airlines?
00:08:51.420 --> 00:08:54.890
Well, mark,
00:08:55.224 --> 00:08:58.160
Ge what what company?
00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:01.564
What corporations would have given you the best
00:09:01.564 --> 00:09:04.533
Return on your money in that 30 year period?
00:09:04.533 --> 00:09:09.005
Southwest airlines by far.
00:09:09.572 --> 00:09:12.875
In fact, if you invested $10,000 in 1972
00:09:13.709 --> 00:09:17.680
And southwest airlines and kept it till 2002,
00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:20.983
What do you think that would be worth?
00:09:20.983 --> 00:09:22.785
But 30 years,
00:09:22.785 --> 00:09:24.887
$12 million?
00:09:25.221 --> 00:09:28.357
What? all of those who did that.
00:09:29.091 --> 00:09:30.426
Please come forward.
00:09:30.426 --> 00:09:35.965
Isn't that something?
00:09:36.465 --> 00:09:39.135
And collins studied these called bright,
00:09:39.135 --> 00:09:41.771
Who is successful in the very capricious world
00:09:41.771 --> 00:09:44.273
That we've had in the business world
00:09:44.273 --> 00:09:45.875
For a good number of years.
00:09:45.875 --> 00:09:47.810
And southwest was the head of the class.
00:09:47.810 --> 00:09:50.680
So they studied and they asked the question,
00:09:50.680 --> 00:09:52.915
What's the genius of southwest?
00:09:52.915 --> 00:09:55.618
You have to go back and see where we got
00:09:55.618 --> 00:09:57.520
Southwest airlines at that time.
00:09:57.520 --> 00:10:01.190
Pacific southwest air was operating primarily
00:10:01.190 --> 00:10:04.393
In california, pacific southwest.
00:10:04.393 --> 00:10:07.430
And they had an unusual model for an airlines.
00:10:07.430 --> 00:10:10.466
Very simple.
00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:11.867
They said our purpose is to move people
00:10:11.867 --> 00:10:14.403
From one place to another place
00:10:14.403 --> 00:10:17.273
As safe and as cheap as possible.
00:10:17.273 --> 00:10:19.942
That's it. no frills.
00:10:19.942 --> 00:10:23.112
They may serve you some peanuts,
00:10:23.112 --> 00:10:25.047
And, they don't reserve any seats.
00:10:25.848 --> 00:10:28.884
They leave on time.
00:10:29.351 --> 00:10:30.720
They arrive on time.
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.054
Turn around ten minutes.
00:10:32.054 --> 00:10:33.422
They don't care on the plane.
00:10:33.422 --> 00:10:34.557
Any other cargo, any mail.
00:10:34.557 --> 00:10:36.392
They just have the very simple statement.
00:10:36.392 --> 00:10:38.594
We move people by air from here to here, usually
00:10:38.594 --> 00:10:42.164
Within a two hour frame. that's who we are.
00:10:42.164 --> 00:10:44.400
That's what we are.
00:10:44.400 --> 00:10:45.501
That is pacific southwest airlines.
00:10:45.501 --> 00:10:48.404
And also that added to that
00:10:48.404 --> 00:10:51.340
Safety in cheap fares.
00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:53.175
But also they added said we're going to have fun and we fly.
00:10:53.175 --> 00:10:56.278
And therefore they taught their pilots
00:10:56.278 --> 00:10:58.247
And their flight attendants.
00:10:58.247 --> 00:10:59.381
If you flew back in those days to have a good time.
00:10:59.381 --> 00:11:02.351
They had on that on the airplane. no.
00:11:02.351 --> 00:11:03.986
They had a smiley face on the front of the slides.
00:11:03.986 --> 00:11:06.422
They had a smiley face,
00:11:06.422 --> 00:11:07.690
And they would do such things as pilots
00:11:08.491 --> 00:11:10.960
Would get on the plane after everybody was seated
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.829
With white canes and ten cups,
00:11:13.829 --> 00:11:16.198
You'd see them going to the pilots cabin.
00:11:16.198 --> 00:11:18.501
Then you hear the pilots talk to one another.
00:11:18.501 --> 00:11:20.503
One of them would say, did you bring the key?
00:11:20.503 --> 00:11:23.739
Others said, no, no, no, i've never even flown a plane
00:11:23.739 --> 00:11:26.142
Like this.
00:11:26.142 --> 00:11:26.809
What are all these buttons?
00:11:26.809 --> 00:11:27.443
And then
00:11:27.443 --> 00:11:29.178
They just had a good time
00:11:29.178 --> 00:11:31.514
And then they'd honor someone.
00:11:31.514 --> 00:11:33.516
Many times they'd say, we've had someone here
00:11:33.516 --> 00:11:35.718
Who's following a million miles with us.
00:11:35.718 --> 00:11:37.520
We want to honor them.
00:11:37.520 --> 00:11:38.454
We honor mr., james.
00:11:38.454 --> 00:11:41.023
Francisco jones, would you come out and be honored?
00:11:41.023 --> 00:11:44.960
And boy, they applaud and he gets on the airplane,
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.563
Go down the step, he's on the tarmac.
00:11:47.563 --> 00:11:49.799
And they said, in honor of being flying a million miles
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.635
Away, we will make you a gift.
00:11:52.635 --> 00:11:53.736
And they bring him a cow on a rope and hand it to it.
00:11:53.736 --> 00:11:57.072
And he wore what?
00:11:57.506 --> 00:12:00.176
But that that was specific.
00:12:00.776 --> 00:12:02.411
And they made a lot of money.
00:12:02.411 --> 00:12:04.947
Airline, were regulated then.
00:12:04.947 --> 00:12:08.150
Therefore, you couldn't just fly anywhere.
00:12:08.150 --> 00:12:10.085
The government decided where you could fly and gave routes.
00:12:10.085 --> 00:12:12.521
And so a group of entrepreneurs in texas said, you know,
00:12:12.521 --> 00:12:16.058
Pacific southwest, they got a good idea.
00:12:16.058 --> 00:12:17.993
We're going to pick it up and do that in texas.
00:12:17.993 --> 00:12:19.762
And that southwest airlines, they did the same thing.
00:12:19.762 --> 00:12:22.932
Southwest airlines is virtually a carbon copy
00:12:22.932 --> 00:12:26.902
Of pacific southwest airlines.
00:12:26.902 --> 00:12:28.470
There is zero difference.
00:12:28.470 --> 00:12:30.372
And and pacific southwest said it's fine.
00:12:30.372 --> 00:12:32.808
We'll never be in competition because regulation.
00:12:32.808 --> 00:12:36.245
But when deregulation came ho ho ho,
00:12:36.245 --> 00:12:39.582
Pacific southwest says we've got to go take advantage.
00:12:40.616 --> 00:12:43.385
Now. we can fly anywhere and you routes
00:12:43.385 --> 00:12:46.455
That begin to morph into something else.
00:12:46.455 --> 00:12:49.458
And they begin to look for new markets.
00:12:49.458 --> 00:12:51.193
They change the way they were doing
00:12:51.193 --> 00:12:52.428
Business, they upgraded,
00:12:52.428 --> 00:12:53.562
They got more contemporary in what they were doing.
00:12:53.562 --> 00:12:55.965
And they said, we want to be like united airlines.
00:12:55.965 --> 00:12:59.134
Then finally they were bought by u.s.
00:12:59.935 --> 00:13:01.770
Air and they sort of disappeared.
00:13:01.770 --> 00:13:05.174
They said,
00:13:05.474 --> 00:13:06.709
We didn't feel like we could exist as independent airline.
00:13:06.709 --> 00:13:08.978
Southwest just stayed with the formula peanuts
00:13:08.978 --> 00:13:12.514
And here to there and no seats and here we go.
00:13:12.514 --> 00:13:16.385
They stayed with their formula.
00:13:16.385 --> 00:13:19.121
All three journal said southwest is going to go under.
00:13:19.121 --> 00:13:21.557
They are not adapting
00:13:21.557 --> 00:13:22.691
To the changing demographics and the changing market.
00:13:22.691 --> 00:13:25.094
We have an airlines with all the expensive flights
00:13:25.094 --> 00:13:27.263
That other that business week said the same thing.
00:13:27.263 --> 00:13:30.032
Don't invest in southwest airlines, man.
00:13:30.032 --> 00:13:32.568
They're not staying up with things.
00:13:32.568 --> 00:13:35.604
A child takes their
00:13:36.071 --> 00:13:37.139
First step unsteady.
00:13:37.139 --> 00:13:39.909
Unsure.
00:13:40.142 --> 00:13:41.744
Reaching for a father's hand.
00:13:41.744 --> 00:13:44.013
No one is born knowing how to walk.
00:13:44.013 --> 00:13:46.382
It takes training, strength.
00:13:46.382 --> 00:13:48.784
Balance. time.
00:13:48.784 --> 00:13:51.220
Walking with god is no different.
00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:54.123
Like all journeys, walking the winning
00:13:54.123 --> 00:13:56.058
Walk requires the proper equipment and preparation.
00:13:56.058 --> 00:13:59.728
By outfitting our lives with the word of god,
00:13:59.728 --> 00:14:02.331
We will be able to follow where the master leads.
00:14:02.331 --> 00:14:06.035
Psalm 119 says, your word is a lamp
00:14:06.035 --> 00:14:10.739
Unto my feet and a light under my path.
00:14:10.739 --> 00:14:13.876
God doesn't rush the journey.
00:14:13.876 --> 00:14:16.312
He lights the next step
00:14:16.312 --> 00:14:18.580
In the winning walk.
00:14:19.048 --> 00:14:20.115
Doctor ed young shares practical, biblical guidance
00:14:20.115 --> 00:14:23.819
To help you develop the strength and spiritual
00:14:23.819 --> 00:14:26.355
Balance needed for a steady, daily walk with christ.
00:14:26.355 --> 00:14:30.192
If you're ready to grow stronger in your faith,
00:14:30.192 --> 00:14:32.695

And begin walking confidently with him.
00:14:37.199 --> 00:14:45.441
I look at noah, i see the same principle.
00:14:46.308 --> 00:14:49.845
So here is a godly principle operated
00:14:49.845 --> 00:14:52.748
By secular company and other secular companies.
00:14:52.748 --> 00:14:56.518
They don't even know it, most of them.
00:14:56.518 --> 00:14:58.520
And it's amazing how it works.
00:14:58.520 --> 00:15:00.322
I want you to look at our guy noah.
00:15:00.322 --> 00:15:03.258
Noah was specific.
00:15:03.258 --> 00:15:06.228
Noah did one thing.
00:15:06.228 --> 00:15:07.730
Noah walked with god.
00:15:07.730 --> 00:15:10.899
Let me tell you something.
00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:12.167
Didn't want to know what does god want me to do?
00:15:12.167 --> 00:15:14.470
How can i decide?
00:15:14.470 --> 00:15:16.005
I don't know, let me tell you, it all begins
00:15:16.005 --> 00:15:18.841
With one simple thing we are to do.
00:15:18.841 --> 00:15:22.745
We are to walk with god.
00:15:22.745 --> 00:15:27.316
Period.
00:15:27.549 --> 00:15:29.118
That's it.
00:15:29.118 --> 00:15:30.686
Don't worry about anything else.
00:15:30.686 --> 00:15:33.922
Now, no walk with
00:15:34.356 --> 00:15:35.758
God for 500 years
00:15:35.758 --> 00:15:38.994
And had a midlife crisis.
00:15:39.561 --> 00:15:45.267
No one?
00:15:45.501 --> 00:15:46.368
None.
00:15:46.368 --> 00:15:47.903
An snl
00:15:47.903 --> 00:15:50.339
Especially gifted leader.
00:15:50.339 --> 00:15:52.574
You know what snl is like, paul handsome,
00:15:52.574 --> 00:15:56.412
Top of the class, brilliant,
00:15:57.012 --> 00:16:00.115
Big voice, commanding appearance,
00:16:00.816 --> 00:16:03.752
A natural born leader.
00:16:04.219 --> 00:16:07.056
Ha ha ha ha.
00:16:07.389 --> 00:16:10.459
No, it was not that at all.
00:16:11.060 --> 00:16:13.695
500 years he was a farmer,
00:16:13.695 --> 00:16:16.665
Did a little carpentry work on the side.
00:16:16.665 --> 00:16:19.435
He just did one thing.
00:16:19.902 --> 00:16:21.637
He walked with god.
00:16:21.637 --> 00:16:23.605
He now have a great ambition.
00:16:23.605 --> 00:16:25.974
When all the trouble came in the world, his family.
00:16:25.974 --> 00:16:29.578
What was god? there were eight of them.
00:16:29.578 --> 00:16:32.147
Noah didn't say god.
00:16:32.147 --> 00:16:33.982
Oh, are you going to judge the world?
00:16:33.982 --> 00:16:35.150
Pick me, pick me. i'm ready.
00:16:35.150 --> 00:16:36.885
Oh i'm ready.
00:16:36.885 --> 00:16:37.419
Use me.
00:16:37.419 --> 00:16:38.153
Oh, he just roll with god.
00:16:38.153 --> 00:16:40.856
You see? success
00:16:40.856 --> 00:16:42.491
Is being in god's will.
00:16:42.991 --> 00:16:44.960
It doesn't matter if his little stuff,
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:46.395
Big stuff, profitable stuff, terrible stuff, didn't matter.
00:16:46.395 --> 00:16:49.598
Sickness, health, it doesn't matter whatever.
00:16:49.598 --> 00:16:52.267
That that's not even the agenda.
00:16:52.267 --> 00:16:54.069
We're just called to walk with god.
00:16:54.069 --> 00:16:56.772
Ladies and gentlemen. it's very, very simple.
00:16:56.772 --> 00:16:59.341
And then he was methodical.
00:16:59.341 --> 00:17:00.843
God came to know of all the people on the earth.
00:17:00.843 --> 00:17:03.679
He said, no, i want you to build a boat,
00:17:04.546 --> 00:17:07.783
Build a boat, and i need water around here.
00:17:07.783 --> 00:17:10.586
Build a boat. noah,
00:17:10.586 --> 00:17:12.821
Because i'm having to judge the world
00:17:12.821 --> 00:17:15.757
And blight out the world to have a new beginning
00:17:15.757 --> 00:17:19.261
In order for my purpose is to be carried out
00:17:20.162 --> 00:17:23.065
And my love to be fulfilled.
00:17:23.065 --> 00:17:25.000
There has to be judgment.
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.469
No. i want you to build a boat.
00:17:27.469 --> 00:17:29.338
I'm gonna put you in your family, that boat,
00:17:30.239 --> 00:17:31.740
Because you walk with god, your family walks with god,
00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:34.543
And you're going to be the remnant.
00:17:34.543 --> 00:17:36.211
You're going to be the change element
00:17:36.211 --> 00:17:38.614
For a new world.
00:17:38.614 --> 00:17:42.818
No one gifted, talented.
00:17:43.352 --> 00:17:45.854
He didn't. he just walk with god.
00:17:45.854 --> 00:17:48.657
Ladies and gentlemen, that's the genius of it.
00:17:48.657 --> 00:17:52.694
And he was methodical.
00:17:53.162 --> 00:17:54.630
God gave him the assignment.
00:17:54.630 --> 00:17:56.865
He said, no, i want you to build a boat.
00:17:56.865 --> 00:17:59.601
And i want that boat to be 450ft
00:18:00.335 --> 00:18:02.804
Long.
00:18:02.804 --> 00:18:05.507
Not 449 or 51.
00:18:05.507 --> 00:18:07.743
I want to be 450ft long. no.
00:18:07.743 --> 00:18:11.380
I want that boat
00:18:11.780 --> 00:18:12.948
To be 75ft wide.
00:18:12.948 --> 00:18:17.252
No, i want to be 45ft high.
00:18:17.853 --> 00:18:20.455
That's about what?
00:18:20.455 --> 00:18:21.590
A football and a half long football field and a half.
00:18:21.590 --> 00:18:23.992
That's about it.
00:18:23.992 --> 00:18:25.827
About, what,
00:18:26.161 --> 00:18:27.029
25 yards, maybe wide and maybe
00:18:27.029 --> 00:18:29.965
15 yards high.
00:18:29.965 --> 00:18:32.901
Build the boat,
00:18:32.901 --> 00:18:34.203
Go forward, put some tar in there.
00:18:34.203 --> 00:18:37.039
Taught him how to do it. and noah did it.
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:38.974
You see, god gives a structure and he says, be methodical.
00:18:38.974 --> 00:18:42.945
Be methodical,
00:18:42.945 --> 00:18:44.813
Be methodical. that's the genius.
00:18:44.813 --> 00:18:46.748
Be methodical.
00:18:46.748 --> 00:18:47.749
Be methodical, be methodical.
00:18:47.749 --> 00:18:49.618
And noah built that boat.
00:18:49.618 --> 00:18:51.787
Can you imagine?
00:18:51.787 --> 00:18:53.288
Do you know how long it took you to build a bow
00:18:53.288 --> 00:18:56.491
120 years.
00:18:56.792 --> 00:18:59.528
Hello.
00:18:59.528 --> 00:19:02.598
What does that mean?
00:19:03.065 --> 00:19:04.700
That means god was preaching to the people in noah.
00:19:04.700 --> 00:19:08.937
Would say to anybody and everybody, we've got to change.
00:19:08.937 --> 00:19:12.307
We got to repent.
00:19:12.307 --> 00:19:13.408
You can't live these godless kind of lives.
00:19:13.408 --> 00:19:16.044
And that boat was a sermon,
00:19:16.044 --> 00:19:18.146
A physical sermon before all the watching world.
00:19:18.146 --> 00:19:21.750
They said, you know, this crazy noah, and you imagine how his
00:19:21.750 --> 00:19:25.053
Kids were laughed at?
00:19:25.053 --> 00:19:27.089
Man, you know, my kids don't
00:19:27.689 --> 00:19:29.524
Go to everything they offer at the school
00:19:29.524 --> 00:19:32.661
Because we walk with god.
00:19:33.228 --> 00:19:35.030
My kids, they were selected
00:19:35.030 --> 00:19:37.132
And they could work on sunday morning
00:19:37.132 --> 00:19:38.900
And these little league things.
00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:40.135
But, you know, we had church on sunday morning.
00:19:40.135 --> 00:19:42.437
My kid's not going to be a part of that
00:19:42.437 --> 00:19:45.240
School. i'm talking about.
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.509
And all of a sudden we withdraw from things and activities
00:19:47.509 --> 00:19:50.612
That the world just endorses and applauds.
00:19:50.612 --> 00:19:55.150
We withdraw from
00:19:55.550 --> 00:19:56.685
Because our family walks with god and there's ridicule,
00:19:56.685 --> 00:19:59.688
There's questions, and you're some kind of religious kook.
00:19:59.688 --> 00:20:02.658
You folks, i mean, you know, it's the 21st
00:20:02.658 --> 00:20:05.394
Century.
00:20:05.394 --> 00:20:08.430
You see.
00:20:08.697 --> 00:20:09.598
But particle
00:20:09.598 --> 00:20:11.633
120 years, build that boat.
00:20:11.633 --> 00:20:14.603
That boat was a sermon saying,
00:20:14.603 --> 00:20:17.072
Man, we're just walking with god.
00:20:17.072 --> 00:20:19.808
God told us to build it.
00:20:19.808 --> 00:20:21.209
God told us that be judgment and you can be sure
00:20:21.209 --> 00:20:24.079
Everybody laughed and everybody ridiculed.
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:27.015
You can beat you.
00:20:27.449 --> 00:20:29.084
And then noah was consistent.
00:20:29.718 --> 00:20:33.255
See the rest of the smack.
00:20:33.822 --> 00:20:34.923
He was consistent,
00:20:34.923 --> 00:20:37.326
Man. he just showed up.
00:20:37.326 --> 00:20:38.527
He was there.
00:20:38.527 --> 00:20:40.262
You could count on noah.
00:20:40.262 --> 00:20:41.697
The last verse in genesis chapter six says, noah
00:20:41.697 --> 00:20:44.599
Did everything god commanded him to do.
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.336
Everything god commanded him do.
00:20:48.036 --> 00:20:49.538
He was consistent in his walk with the lord.
00:20:49.538 --> 00:20:52.541
He trusted god's timing.
00:20:52.541 --> 00:20:54.776
Finally the day came and god says, noah, take your family.
00:20:54.776 --> 00:20:57.579
Get on the boat.
00:20:57.579 --> 00:21:00.349
They got on the boat.
00:21:00.349 --> 00:21:01.983
They already put all the animals, everything on there.
00:21:01.983 --> 00:21:04.019
By the way, many people that studied the size
00:21:04.019 --> 00:21:06.922
Of this boat, this ark, and they discovered
00:21:06.922 --> 00:21:09.291
You could easily put 50,000 animals in there.
00:21:09.291 --> 00:21:12.327
Oh, yeah, you could.
00:21:12.327 --> 00:21:14.029
Smaller sizes.
00:21:14.029 --> 00:21:15.263
You could do it.
00:21:15.263 --> 00:21:17.299
So they got out of the boat and they were on the boat
00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:19.167
Seven days and seven nights before they had any rain.
00:21:19.167 --> 00:21:22.070
That'd be tough, wouldn't it?
00:21:22.070 --> 00:21:23.405
Well, god, i'm on the boat.
00:21:23.405 --> 00:21:24.740
I built this thing on her 20 years,
00:21:24.740 --> 00:21:26.608
And now it's still not raining.
00:21:26.608 --> 00:21:28.009
Don't we hear anything?
00:21:28.009 --> 00:21:29.911
They close a little hatch there on the top.
00:21:29.911 --> 00:21:31.580
No cage.
00:21:31.580 --> 00:21:33.148
You imagine all their neighbors saying,
00:21:33.148 --> 00:21:34.816
You know that crazy noah bunch?
00:21:34.816 --> 00:21:36.885
They're on the boat.
00:21:36.885 --> 00:21:38.186
They said judgment is coming.
00:21:38.186 --> 00:21:40.122
I said, so, are they out of it or what?
00:21:40.122 --> 00:21:46.962
Let me
00:21:47.162 --> 00:21:48.029
Say something parenthetically here.
00:21:48.029 --> 00:21:50.599
Something's happening.
00:21:51.066 --> 00:21:52.134
And in this world that i've never seen before.
00:21:52.134 --> 00:21:54.669
Ladies and gentlemen, we're wide.
00:21:54.669 --> 00:21:57.639
Something's going on.
00:21:58.140 --> 00:22:01.610
As all of civilization seems to be moving away
00:22:01.610 --> 00:22:05.747
From any semblance of walking with the true
00:22:05.747 --> 00:22:08.350
And living god.
00:22:08.350 --> 00:22:13.155
I don't know,
00:22:13.522 --> 00:22:15.257
I don't know.
00:22:15.257 --> 00:22:18.360
But no was specific.
00:22:18.827 --> 00:22:20.228
He walked with god.
00:22:20.228 --> 00:22:21.930
He's methodical.
00:22:21.930 --> 00:22:22.798
He built that boat.
00:22:22.798 --> 00:22:24.699
He was consistent. he showed up.
00:22:24.699 --> 00:22:26.468
He waited seven days and seven nights.
00:22:26.468 --> 00:22:28.370
Maybe his family saying, daddy, are you sure
00:22:28.370 --> 00:22:31.973
We need this boat?
00:22:31.973 --> 00:22:34.676
Maybe he had some doubts.
00:22:34.676 --> 00:22:36.912
Maybe.
00:22:36.912 --> 00:22:37.746
Maybe that he'd build it for 80 years.
00:22:37.746 --> 00:22:39.080
He looked back and said, you know, gosh, you know,
00:22:39.080 --> 00:22:40.916
I've been build this thing a long time.
00:22:40.916 --> 00:22:43.885
No, it began to rain.
00:22:43.885 --> 00:22:47.289
Oh, yeah. they had a flood.
00:22:47.289 --> 00:22:49.825
Can you imagine the people around them?
00:22:49.825 --> 00:22:51.526
Water got up to here and here and here and here.
00:22:51.526 --> 00:22:54.429
They floated for a while and they found the bones and.
00:22:54.429 --> 00:22:56.798
Noah.
00:22:56.798 --> 00:22:57.966
Hey, hey, hey, you got room for a couple more?
00:22:57.966 --> 00:23:04.105
Let's do eight.
00:23:04.473 --> 00:23:07.275
God's judgment is slow,
00:23:07.275 --> 00:23:10.011
But it's just at the right time.
00:23:10.745 --> 00:23:13.114
And his patience runs out with you and me and our rebellion.
00:23:13.114 --> 00:23:16.818
Though he loves us with a love that will not let us go.
00:23:16.818 --> 00:23:20.789
But there will be, in the words of a classic sermon,
00:23:20.789 --> 00:23:24.059
A pay day, someday.
00:23:24.059 --> 00:23:29.297
And then noah was in the boat.
00:23:29.898 --> 00:23:31.666
How long you think they were in the boat?
00:23:31.666 --> 00:23:34.503
If my math is right, a year
00:23:34.503 --> 00:23:36.204
And 17 days.
00:23:36.204 --> 00:23:39.040
Hello.
00:23:39.241 --> 00:23:41.109
I mean, the stench was pretty considerable.
00:23:41.109 --> 00:23:46.248
Then finally they got out.
00:23:46.815 --> 00:23:48.083
And what is the first thing you read?
00:23:48.083 --> 00:23:50.018
They did when they got out, noah built an altar.
00:23:50.018 --> 00:23:54.456
Oh, yeah.
00:23:54.756 --> 00:23:56.191
So you walk with god.
00:23:56.191 --> 00:23:58.693
How do you walk with god?
00:23:58.693 --> 00:24:00.896
Let me put down some simple things.
00:24:00.896 --> 00:24:02.564
We'll deal with it from many biblical perspective.
00:24:02.564 --> 00:24:04.699
Number one.
00:24:04.699 --> 00:24:07.168
You present
00:24:07.502 --> 00:24:09.738
Your body to him.
00:24:09.738 --> 00:24:11.206
Romans 12, by the mercies of god, i present my body.
00:24:11.206 --> 00:24:14.175
Would you do that right now? just almost.
00:24:14.175 --> 00:24:16.177
You lift your hand. just.
00:24:16.177 --> 00:24:17.145
Would you just present your body right away?
00:24:17.145 --> 00:24:18.780
Just present your body.
00:24:18.780 --> 00:24:21.016
So, lord, i present my body to you.
00:24:21.016 --> 00:24:23.685
I present my body to you.
00:24:23.685 --> 00:24:26.521
Romans 12 living sacrifice
00:24:26.521 --> 00:24:28.690
I present my body to you.
00:24:28.690 --> 00:24:31.693
Then we look and we read.
00:24:31.693 --> 00:24:34.162
In luke chapter number 11,
00:24:34.162 --> 00:24:37.699
God, jesus says, if an earthly father loves
00:24:37.699 --> 00:24:41.636
To give the right gift to their children
00:24:41.636 --> 00:24:43.505
And knows how to give good gifts, you
00:24:43.505 --> 00:24:45.240
How much more our heavenly father
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:47.008
Knows how to give the gift of the holy spirit to you.
00:24:47.008 --> 00:24:50.612
So let's just hold our hands up everybody and say,
00:24:50.612 --> 00:24:53.782
Lord, give me your spirit, filled with with your spirit.
00:24:53.782 --> 00:24:56.384
Would you do that for me?
00:24:56.384 --> 00:24:58.553
With your spirit i present in my body.
00:24:58.553 --> 00:25:01.756
Now i ask, filled with your spirit as as i love
00:25:01.756 --> 00:25:05.360
To give good gifts to my kids, and how much for god loves
00:25:05.360 --> 00:25:08.763
To give good gifts to us, to move with that spirit?
00:25:08.763 --> 00:25:12.500
And then finally, there's a little verse there
00:25:12.500 --> 00:25:14.603
In acts chapter five, there are many, many verses.
00:25:14.603 --> 00:25:17.472
It says,
00:25:17.739 --> 00:25:18.373
God gives his spirit to those who obey him.
00:25:19.307 --> 00:25:22.744
So obedience i don't know how to do.
00:25:22.744 --> 00:25:24.245
Let's do a little obedience here.
00:25:24.245 --> 00:25:25.547
Those who obey him.
00:25:25.547 --> 00:25:27.048
God gives his holy spirit, and then the result is.
00:25:27.048 --> 00:25:32.721
This is the result.
00:25:33.188 --> 00:25:35.490
It's a daily thing.
00:25:35.490 --> 00:25:36.558
It's a it's a perpetual, ongoing thing.
00:25:36.558 --> 00:25:39.060
This is resolve.
00:25:39.060 --> 00:25:40.061
Let me say it clearly.
00:25:40.061 --> 00:25:42.631
If you want to be
00:25:42.631 --> 00:25:44.799
A successful christian.
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:49.004
Pay attention to the details.
00:25:49.638 --> 00:25:55.243
And walk.
00:25:55.543 --> 00:26:00.582
With god.
00:26:00.882 --> 00:26:04.152
Your word is a lamp to my feet,
00:26:04.786 --> 00:26:07.789
A light into my path.
00:26:08.289 --> 00:26:10.659
Notice the promise in that verse.
00:26:10.659 --> 00:26:13.094
A lamp for my feet i can see right here.
00:26:13.094 --> 00:26:15.897
A light for your path.
00:26:15.897 --> 00:26:17.465
We can see out there.
00:26:17.465 --> 00:26:19.801
Not just inspiration.
00:26:19.801 --> 00:26:21.603
For a moment, but guidance for a lifetime.
00:26:21.603 --> 00:26:26.941
The christian life
00:26:27.375 --> 00:26:29.411
Was never meant to be lived casually,
00:26:29.411 --> 00:26:32.947
But it is a walk, a daily, intentional,
00:26:32.947 --> 00:26:36.284
Fateful walk with the lord jesus christ.
00:26:36.284 --> 00:26:39.888
That's the heartbeat of this book.
00:26:39.888 --> 00:26:42.691
The winning walk in his pages, i share practical,
00:26:42.691 --> 00:26:46.628
Biblical principles that will help you cultivate
00:26:46.628 --> 00:26:49.664
A consistent devotional life, applying god's truth
00:26:49.664 --> 00:26:54.369
In the practical realities of everyday living.
00:26:54.369 --> 00:26:57.806
This isn't about religion.
00:26:58.373 --> 00:27:00.475
It's about relationship.
00:27:00.475 --> 00:27:02.410
It's about learning to trust god step by step
00:27:02.410 --> 00:27:05.980
And stay in step with our lord.
00:27:05.980 --> 00:27:08.750
The christ.
00:27:08.750 --> 00:27:10.485
So i encourage you to call the number on your screen
00:27:10.485 --> 00:27:12.487
And request your copy of the winning walk.
00:27:12.487 --> 00:27:16.057
Do it today.
00:27:16.391 --> 00:27:17.926
And then we begin walking victoriously,
00:27:17.926 --> 00:27:20.829
One step at a time.
00:27:20.829 --> 00:27:20.829
