BEHOLD, THE 01:08:02.300 --> 01:08:04.033 RULER OF THIS WORLD COMETH, BUT HE HAS NOTHING 01:08:04.133 --> 01:08:04.933 IN ME. 01:08:05.033 --> 01:08:06.433 HE MEANS HE HAS NO PLACE IN MY LIFE. 01:08:06.533 --> 01:08:07.799 HE'S TALKING ABOUT HIS DEATH. 01:08:07.899 --> 01:08:09.300 HE'S ABOUT TO DIE. 01:08:09.400 --> 01:08:10.233 HE SAYS HE'S COMING. 01:08:10.333 --> 01:08:10.900 I'M ABOUT

01:08:14.399 --> 01:08:15.499 HE HAS NO PLACE IN MY LIFE. 01:08:15.599 --> 01:08:17.266 BUT SO THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW THAT I LOVE THE 01:08:17.366 --> 01:08:19.033 FATHER AND I KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. 01:08:19.133 --> 01:08:19.900 LET'S GO. 01:08:20.000 --> 01:08:21.566 HE'S SAYING, LIKE I'M ABOUT TO DIE. 01:08:21.666 --> 01:08:22.066 THE DEVIL. 01:08:22.166 --> 01:08:22.766 HE'S COMING. 01:08:22.866 --> 01:08:23.933 THE DEVIL. 01:08:24.033 --> 01:08:25.866 THE DEVIL IS GOING TO HE'S HE'S GOING TO ENTER THESE 01:08:25.966 --> 01:08:27.299 RULERS AND THESE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE GOING TO

01:08:33.999 FATHER AND I KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, LET'S GO. 01:08:34.099 --> 01:08:36.933 SEE, BECAUSE JESUS WAS SINLESS AND DEATH CAME 01:08:37.033 --> 01:08:38.766 THROUGH SIN, HE COULDN'T DIE. 01:08:38.866 --> 01:08:40.167 HE SAYS, NOBODY TAKES MY LIFE. 01:08:40.267 --> 01:08:41.033 NO MAN TAKES IT. 01:08:41.133 --> 01:08:42.333 BUT I LAY DOWN MY LIFE. 01:08:42.433 --> 01:08:44.000 AND IT WAS A LIFE OF OBEDIENCE. 01:08:44.100 --> 01:08:45.133 THAT'S WHAT HE DID. 01:08:45.233 --> 01:08:48.600 AND SO THE DEVIL HAS NO PLACE IN OUR LIFE IF WE 01:08:48.700 --> 01:08:51.167 LIVE A LIFE OF OBEDIENCE. 01:08:51.267 --> 01:08:52.200 AND THAT'S WHAT JESUS WANTS. 01:08:52.300 --> 01:08:53.600 HIS DISCIPLES. 01:08:53.700 --> 01:08:57.100 HE SAYS, GO MAKE DISCIPLES AND TEACH THEM TO OBEY ALL 01:08:57.200 --> 01:08:58.133 THAT I'VE COMMANDED. 01:08:58.233 --> 01:09:00.100 HE DOESN'T JUST WANT A DISCIPLINED LEARNER. 01:09:00.200 --> 01:09:02.166 HE WANTS AN OBEDIENT LEARNER. 01:09:02.266 --> 01:09:05.000 REBECCA: YEAH, AND I JUST THINK IT'S SUCH WISDOM BECAUSE I 01:09:05.100 --> 01:09:06.467 REMEMBER TALKING TO BEV ABOUT THAT, TOO. 01:09:06.567 --> 01:09:08.133 IT'S LIKE THE DEMONS ONLY CAN. 01:09:08.233 --> 01:09:09.900 IT'S LIKE THE DEVIL IS A LEGALIST, AND THEY CAN 01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:12.433 ONLY COME IN IF YOU GIVE THEM A LEGAL RIGHT, AND 01:09:12.533 --> 01:09:15.433 YOU CAN REPENT AND CAST THAT OUT, YOU KNOW, AND, 01:09:15.533 --> 01:09:18.300 YOU KNOW, THINK THANKFUL FOR WHAT JESUS CAN DO. 01:09:18.400 --> 01:09:20.699 BUT, YOU KNOW, FOR ME PERSONALLY, THAT'S ONE OF 01:09:20.799 --> 01:09:23.233 THE REASONS WHY I'VE TRIED TO LIVE WITH INTENTION, 01:09:23.333 --> 01:09:24.866 KNOWING THAT THERE'S A SPIRITUAL REALM NOT OUT OF 01:09:24.966 --> 01:09:26.333 FEAR, BUT OUT OF WISDOM. 01:09:26.433 --> 01:09:27.833 YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS, BE VIGILANT. 01:09:27.933 --> 01:09:28.966 YOUR ENEMY. 01:09:29.066 --> 01:09:31.566 IS LIKE A LION SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. 01:09:31.666 --> 01:09:33.333 SO THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY 01:09:33.433 --> 01:09:34.867 TO GET IN OUR MARRIAGE, GET IN OUR FAMILIES, GET 01:09:34.967 --> 01:09:35.966 IN OUR HOMES. 01:09:36.066 --> 01:09:39.567 AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO BE VIGILANT. 01:09:39.667 --> 01:09:42.233 AND WE HAVE TO STAY VIGILANT AS WE CONTINUE TO 01:09:42.333 --> 01:09:45.633 WALK WITH GOD, BECAUSE WE CAN BECOME COMPLACENT OR 01:09:45.733 --> 01:09:48.800 WE CAN BECOME, YOU KNOW, EVEN VULNERABLE FOR JUST 01:09:48.900 --> 01:09:51.100 FROM JUST BEING TIRED IN LIFE AND WEARING YOU DOWN. 01:09:51.200 --> 01:09:53.766 AND SO IT'S JUST IMPORTANT TO BE SUITED UP IN THE 01:09:53.866 --> 01:09:57.333 ARMOR OF GOD AND NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO SIN. 01:09:57.433 --> 01:09:58.567 MARIO: AMEN. 01:09:58.667 --> 01:10:00.066 AND YOU KNOW ONE THING, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT MAY 01:10:00.166 --> 01:10:01.899 SEEM LIKE PEOPLE WATCHING, THEY MIGHT THINK, THIS 01:10:01.999 --> 01:10:03.100 SEEMS HARD. 01:10:03.200 --> 01:10:04.766 I GOT TO DO ALL THESE THINGS. 01:10:04.866 --> 01:10:07.099 ONE THING THAT WE NEED TO WORRY ABOUT IS JUST NOT 01:10:07.199 --> 01:10:08.133 WORRY ABOUT. 01:10:08.233 --> 01:10:09.199 ONE THING THAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON IS BEING 01:10:09.299 --> 01:10:10.333 WORSHIPERS. 01:10:10.433 --> 01:10:12.533 A WORSHIPER IS A MAN OR A WOMAN THAT WALKS IN THE 01:10:12.633 --> 01:10:13.800 FEAR OF GOD. 01:10:13.900 --> 01:10:14.733 NOT NOT THE FEAR OF GOD. 01:10:14.833 --> 01:10:16.367 LIKE YOU'RE SCARED OF GOD, OBVIOUSLY. 01:10:16.467 --> 01:10:18.300 BUT THE FEAR OF GOD IS THE REVERENCE, THE AWE OF GOD, 01:10:18.400 --> 01:10:19.733 THE HEART THAT DAVID HAD. 01:10:19.833 --> 01:10:22.133 AND HE SAYS THAT THE MEDITATION OF MY HEART, 01:10:22.233 --> 01:10:24.433 THAT THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH WOULD BE PLEASING UNTO 01:10:24.533 --> 01:10:26.333 YOU, GOD, THAT EVERYTHING WOULD BE PLEASING UNTO 01:10:26.433 --> 01:10:27.466 YOU. 01:10:27.566 --> 01:10:28.533 BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE SEE THAT THEY'RE NOT LIVING A 01:10:28.633 --> 01:10:30.199 LIFE OF DISOBEDIENCE, BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT DOING 01:10:30.299 --> 01:10:32.133 DRUGS, THEY'RE NOT IN THE

01:10:41.000 THAT'S THE SIN OF THE HEART THAT YOU NEED TO 01:10:41.100 --> 01:10:42.199 WATCH OUT FOR. 01:10:42.299 --> 01:10:44.566 AND SO IF YOU'RE A WORSHIPER, YOU'RE GOING TO 01:10:44.666 --> 01:10:46.633 YOU IT'S GOING TO YOU'RE GOING TO SAY, I'M 01:10:46.733 --> 01:10:47.766 CONVICTED. 01:10:47.866 --> 01:10:49.133 HOLY SPIRIT, GOD, FORGIVE ME FOR EVEN HAVING THAT 01:10:49.233 -->

01:11:03.199 ALL YOU HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS JUST BEING A TRUE 01:11:03.299 --> 01:11:05.300 MAN AND A WOMAN OF GOD THAT LOVES GOD. 01:11:05.400 --> 01:11:05.867 THAT'S IT. 01:11:05.967 -->
