I FEEL LIKE THE LORD TODAY WANTS 32:38.791 --> 32:43.296 TO MINISTER TO SOMETHING THAT JESUS PAID FOR. 32:43.296 --> 32:51.304 THE BIBLE SAYS IN ISAIAH 53 THAT JESUS, HE BORE OUR PAINS, 32:51.304 --> 32:57.366 CARRIED OUR SORROWS. WE DID ESTEEM HIM, STRICKEN, SMITTEN OF 32:57.366 --> 33:01.777 GOD. HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, BRUISED FOR OUR 33:01.777 --> 33:04.356 INIQUITIES, AND HE TOOK THE CHASTISEMENT AND THE PUNISHMENT 33:04.356 --> 33:09.846 OF OUR PEACE. AND IT WAS PUT UPON THE LAMB OF GOD THAT BY HIS 33:09.846 --> 33:13.926 STRIPES WE ARE HEALED. BUT I FEEL LIKE TODAY THERE'S SOME OF 33:13.926 --> 33:16.836 YOU AND YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY WHERE MAYBE THERE IS SOME 33:16.836 --> 33:21.906 PAIN. MAYBE IT'S A PAIN IN YOUR BODY, MAYBE IT'S A PAIN IN YOUR 33:21.906 --> 33:26.106 HEART. IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT JESUS ANNOUNCED WHEN HE 33:26.106 --> 33:29.497 CAME INTO THE TEMPLE. HE SAID, "LOOK AT ME, I AM THE ANOINTED 33:29.497 --> 33:32.227 ONE." THAT'S WHAT HE SAID ABOUT HIMSELF. AND HE SAID, "I'M 33:32.227 --> 33:39.277 ANOINTED TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, RECOVERY OF SIGHT 33:39.277 --> 33:43.957 TO THE BLIND, DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVE." SO, WHAT I WANT YOU TO 33:43.957 --> 33:46.394 DO TODAY, IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE, YOU'RE SAYING, AND 33:46.394 --> 33:50.707 NOBODY'S GOING TO ASK YOU, BUT IF YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF PAIN IN 33:50.707 --> 33:54.247 YOUR PHYSICAL BODY, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, OR MAYBE 33:54.247 --> 33:57.277 THERE IS A PAIN IN YOUR HEART, MAYBE YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A 33:57.277 --> 34:00.396 REALLY PAINFUL SITUATION, MAYBE SOMETHING BROKE YOUR HEART, 34:00.396 --> 34:04.027 WOUNDED YOUR HEART, MAYBE FOR YEARS YOU'VE BEEN CARRYING THE 34:04.027 --> 34:09.336 PAIN OF SOMETHING, THE DISAPPOINTMENT, THE HURT, THE 34:09.336 --> 34:18.277 WOUNDING. WELL, JESUS TOOK IT. THE BIBLE REFERS TO HIM AS THE 34:18.277 --> 34:23.204 LAMB OF GOD WHO TOOK AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD. WELL, THAT 34:23.204 --> 34:27.577 WAS PART OF IT THAT HE TOOK AWAY. HE WAS THE PROPITIATION OR 34:27.577 --> 34:33.067 THE SUBSTITUTE FOR US THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH LIFE 34:33.067 --> 34:36.909 WITH PAIN IN OUR HEART, OUR BODY. SO IF THAT'S YOU, AND 34:36.909 --> 34:38.916 AGAIN, WE'RE NOT GONNA ASK YOU QUESTIONS BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE 34:38.916 --> 34:44.646 SOMETHING PERSONAL THAT'S REALLY HURTING YOU OR HURT YOU. GOD 34:44.646 --> 34:47.766 CARES ABOUT IT. MAYBE YOU'RE FEELING PAIN IN YOUR BODY, 34:47.766 --> 34:54.367 ARTHRITIS OR JOINT PAIN. I BELIEVE TODAY THROUGH THE POWER 34:54.367 --> 34:58.050 OF OUR COVENANT, WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT REMOVED. SO IF THAT'S 34:58.050 --> 35:00.637 YOU, JUST RAISE YOUR HAND AND I'M GOING TO ASK BELIEVERS, 35:00.637 --> 35:03.097 OKAY, KEEP YOUR HAND UP FOR A MOMENT. ALL RIGHT, NOW 35:03.097 --> 35:08.436 BELIEVERS, I WANT YOU, WE HAD A LOT OF TESTIMONIES RIGHT HERE OF 35:08.436 --> 35:11.586 PEOPLE GETTING HEALED. OKAY, KEEP YOUR HAND UP UNTIL SOMEBODY 35:11.586 --> 35:14.527 HAS COME TO PRAY FOR YOU. NOW, BELIEVERS, I WANT YOU TO BE 35:14.527 --> 35:17.766 BOLD. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, I'M GONNA TAKE MY 35:17.766 --> 35:20.317 PHONE OUT AND THEN WHEN WE'RE DONE WITH THIS, WE'RE GONNA PRAY 35:20.317 --> 35:24.427 OVER YOUR THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE'S. BUT I REALLY WANT US 35:24.427 --> 35:27.637 TO COME INTO AGREEMENT AND WHY I HAVE MY PHONE OUT IS AS THEY'RE 35:27.637 --> 35:30.306 FINDING THE PEOPLE WITH THEIR HANDS UP AND THEN ONCE YOU HAVE 35:30.306 --> 35:32.286 FOUND SOMEBODY, YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND DOWN SO YOU DON'T HAVE MORE 35:32.286 --> 35:36.217 PAIN TO PRAY FOR, RIGHT, YOUR ARM? BUT THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE 35:36.217 --> 35:40.896 WATCHING TODAY, I LOVE THE FACT THAT JESUS SPOKE THE WORD AND HE 35:40.896 --> 35:44.856 DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE IN THE SAME PLACE AND THE SERVANT WAS 35:44.856 --> 35:49.148 HEALED. AND SO THIS REPRESENTS YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. SO I'M 35:49.148 --> 35:52.867 GONNA PRAY, YOU PRAY FOR THAT PERSON. WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR YOU 35:52.867 --> 35:55.657 THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE IN THIS 35:55.657 --> 36:01.056 ROOM. AND WE'RE GONNA BELIEVE EVERYTHING THAT YESHUA PAID FOR. 36:01.056 --> 36:07.027 FATHER, WE COME TO YOUR MIGHTY THRONE. AND WE STAND IN THE GAP 36:07.027 --> 36:10.896 FOR THOSE THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE, BUT ALSO THOSE THAT WILL 36:10.896 --> 36:14.586 WATCH, EVEN BY WAY OF ARCHIVE, BUT ALSO LORD, THOSE THAT ARE IN 36:14.586 --> 36:18.367 THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW. AND BELIEVERS ARE TOUCHING THEM. I 36:18.367 --> 36:22.416 AM, AS AN ACT OF FAITH, LAYING MY HANDS UPON THIS PHONE FOR 36:22.416 --> 36:27.157 EVERYBODY THAT IS WATCHING RIGHT NOW THROUGH THAT CAMERA. JESUS, 36:27.157 --> 36:33.007 YOU ARE AND WERE THE PROPITIATION, THE SUBSTITUTE FOR 36:33.007 --> 36:38.137 OUR SINS, TRANSGRESSIONS, INIQUITY, TRESPASSES. AND YOU 36:38.137 --> 36:44.226 TRULY BORE OUR PAIN, OUR SORROWS, OUR GRIEFS, SICKNESSES, 36:44.226 --> 36:48.516 DISEASES, PAIN, WHATEVER IT COMES, WHATEVER FORM IT IS, 36:48.516 --> 36:51.757 LORD, IN THE PHYSICAL REALM, SPIRITUALLY, MAYBE IT WOUNDED 36:51.757 --> 36:55.626 PEOPLE'S HEART, MAYBE THERE IS PAIN IN THEIR BODY. YESHUA, WE 36:55.626 --> 37:02.166 HOLD YOU AS OUR ADVOCATE, OUR ATTORNEY, AND OUR FATHER, WHO IS 37:02.166 --> 37:09.487 THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE. WE HOLD YOU TO THE REMEMBRANCE, THE 37:09.487 --> 37:14.257 ENFORCEMENT OF OUR COVENANT RIGHT. THROUGH YOUR BLOOD, 37:14.257 --> 37:19.416 YESHUA, YOUR BLOOD IS ON THE MERCY SEAT AS A WITNESS, AS A 37:19.416 --> 37:25.927 PROOF THAT WE ARE HEALED FROM ALL PAIN, ALL SORROW, ALL 37:25.927 --> 37:30.817 SICKNESS, ANY BROKEN HEART, ANY ARTHRITIS, LORD, ANYTHING THAT 37:30.817 --> 37:36.817 IS TRYING TO BRING ABOUT PAIN OR AFFLICTION, JESUS, YOU TOOK THIS 37:36.817 --> 37:42.606 UPON YOUR BODY AND LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO. WE 37:42.606 --> 37:48.007 ARE AND HAVE BEEN REDEEMED OUT OF THE HAND OF EVERY ENEMY, OF 37:48.007 --> 37:53.606 EVERY PAIN, EVERY AFFLICTION, EVERY BROKEN HEART, EVERY WOUND. 37:53.606 --> 38:00.907 AND NOW WE CALL UPON THE HEALING, RIGHTS, POWER, 38:00.907 --> 38:06.277 MANIFESTATION OF OUR BLOOD COVENANT. AND I SAY EVERYONE IN 38:06.277 --> 38:14.293 THE SOUND OF MY VOICE, BE HEALED IN YESHUA'S NAME. 38:14.293 --> 38:16.463 (SPEAKING IN TONGUES) 38:16.463 --> 38:22.447 ANY AND ALL PAIN, SUFFERING, WOUND, TORMENT, 38:22.447 --> 38:27.396 BROKEN HEART, I COMMAND EVERY EVIL ENTITY TO LEAVE. EVERY 38:27.396 --> 38:33.697 SCAR, EVERY WOUND TO BE HEALED. AND ALL PAIN TO GO IN BACKS, 38:33.697 --> 38:39.516 SPINES, NERVOUS SYSTEM. LORD, WE RELEASE THE HEALING POWER OF 38:39.516 --> 38:48.186 GOD. WE CLAIM OUR COVENANT RIGHT OF HEALING AND HEALTH, WHOLENESS 38:48.186 --> 38:55.626 AND LONG LIFE. AND WE SAY IT IS AND IT SHALL BE WELL CONCERNING 38:55.626 --> 39:00.306 US. FOR SURELY YOUR GOODNESS, LORD, AND YOUR MERCY IS NOT ONLY 39:00.306 --> 39:03.967 A PART OF OUR LIFE, BUT IS FOLLOWING US THIS DAY AND ALL 39:03.967 --> 39:07.686 THE DAYS OF OUR ENTIRE LIFE. SO WE COMMAND OUR BODIES TO LINE 39:07.686 --> 39:15.606 UP, COMMAND OUR HEARTS AND OUR SOULS. WE BIND TO OUR SOUL THAT 39:15.606 --> 39:23.556 HEALING, THAT WHOLENESS IN JESUS NAME. AMEN. I WANT TO PRAY FOR 39:23.556 --> 39:26.887 EVERYBODY'S THANKSGIVING. MAYBE YOU'RE TRAVELING. MAYBE YOU HAVE 39:26.887 --> 39:29.737 PEOPLE THAT ARE TRAVELING. HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE 39:29.737 --> 39:32.887 SOMETHING VERY POWERFUL? IN FACT, I WANT YOU AND THOSE OF 39:32.887 --> 39:35.556 YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, I WANT YOU TO TUNE IN. WHATEVER THE 39:35.556 --> 39:38.347 SUNDAY IS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, I'VE BEEN WORKING ON MY CHRISTMAS 39:38.347 --> 39:41.947 MESSAGE. AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD TOOK ME DOWN A REALLY 39:41.947 --> 39:45.456 INTERESTING PATH. SO I SAY THAT AS YOU KIND OF GO BACK TO YOUR 39:45.456 --> 39:48.847 SEATS HERE AND GIVE YOU A MOMENT. AND I STARTED WORKING ON 39:48.847 --> 39:51.876 IT. AND AT FIRST I WAS LIKE, AH, I'M GONNA SCRATCH THIS. BUT I 39:51.876 --> 39:54.907 KEPT FEELING THE HOLY SPIRIT PRESSING ME. AND I'M GONNA TALK 39:54.907 --> 39:59.166 ABOUT SOMETHING THAT YOU SEE CONSISTENTLY IN THE CHRISTMAS 39:59.166 --> 40:04.867 STORY AND ITS EVENTS. YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS? DIVINE PRESERVATION 40:04.867 --> 40:11.286 AND PROTECTION. WHETHER IT'S ANGELS SHOWING UP, THE PROMISE 40:11.286 --> 40:15.547 THAT GOD SAID TO MARY OVER HER WOMB AND OVER THE CHILD WAS ALL 40:15.547 --> 40:20.887 ABOUT PRESERVATION. WHY DID THEY HAVE JESUS AFTER EIGHT DAYS 40:20.887 --> 40:27.242 CIRCUMCISED? IT ALL IS TIED TO PRESERVATION. AND THE SPIRIT OF 40:27.242 --> 40:34.293 GOD SAID, "THIS IS WHAT THE PROMISE IS ALSO, A PART OF WHAT 40:34.293 --> 40:38.943 WE RECEIVED." WHY DO YOU THINK THEY CALLED HIS NAME EMMANUEL? 40:38.943 --> 40:41.103 BECAUSE IF GOD'S WITH YOU, THERE'S PRESERVATION, 40:41.103 --> 40:44.583 PROTECTION, RIGHT? WHAT CAN MAN DO UNTO YOU? THAT'S WHAT THE 40:44.583 --> 40:47.583 SCRIPTURE SAYS. SO WE'RE GONNA GO DOWN THAT ROAD, BUT I WANNA 40:47.583 --> 40:51.213 SHARE THAT WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, AND I HAVE 40:51.213 --> 40:56.643 TO UNDERSTAND JUST HOW MUCH JESUS PAID FOR. AND PSALM 103 40:56.643 --> 41:00.512 SAYS THAT OUR LIVES ARE REDEEMED FROM DESTRUCTION. THAT MEANS NO 41:00.512 --> 41:06.242 CAR ACCIDENTS, NO TRAGEDIES, NO CALAMITIES, RIGHT? NO TRAUMA, NO 41:06.242 --> 41:10.472 DISEASE, IT CANNOT TOUCH US. WE'RE REDEEMED FROM THOSE 41:10.472 --> 41:14.733 THINGS. SO HEAVENLY FATHER, AS WE APPROACH YOUR THRONE TODAY, 41:14.733 --> 41:19.382 WE REMIND YOU OF THE ONE WHO IS SEATED AT YOUR RIGHT HAND, 41:19.382 --> 41:25.563 CHRIST OUR LORD. AND HE HIMSELF CARRIED ONCE AND FOR ALL INTO 41:25.563 --> 41:29.342 THAT HOLY PLACE, THE COURT OF HEAVEN. AND HE WAS CARRYING HIS 41:29.342 --> 41:32.702 OWN BLOOD, NOT THE BLOOD OF BULLS OR GOATS OR CALVES, BUT 41:32.702 --> 41:36.873 HIS OWN BLOOD. YOU HANDED HIM THE SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND 41:36.873 --> 41:40.652 YOU CALLED HIM GOD. AND YOU SAID, "SIT THOU AT MY RIGHT 41:40.652 --> 41:44.163 HAND, AND ALL THE ENEMIES ARE, AND FOREVER WILL BE THY 41:44.163 --> 41:49.443 FOOTSTOOL." AND HE, YESHUA, PLACED HIS BLOOD, HIS OWN BLOOD, 41:49.443 --> 41:53.762 AS THE SACRIFICED LAMB OF GOD, WHO TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE 41:53.762 --> 41:57.722 WORLD. AND HE PUT THAT BLOOD THAT STILL SPEAKS UPON THAT 41:57.722 --> 42:03.362 MERCY SEAT. AND HE SAT DOWN AT YOUR RIGHT HAND. AND WE ARE NOW 42:03.362 --> 42:08.293 SEATED WITH HIM IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST. AND WE ARE 42:08.293 --> 42:13.083 BLESSED WITH EVERY SPIRITUAL BLESSING. THEREFORE, OUR GOD, WE 42:13.083 --> 42:18.182 COME BEFORE YOUR THRONE AND WE DECLARE THAT EVERY RIGHT, 42:18.182 --> 42:21.751 PRIVILEGE, AND PURPOSE OF OUR COVENANT THROUGH THE BLOOD OF 42:21.751 --> 42:26.523 YESHUA IS ENFORCED. AND THAT IS OUR LIVES ARE REDEEMED FROM 42:26.523 --> 42:31.773 DESTRUCTION. SO WE PLEAD ALL THE LEGAL RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES, 42:31.773 --> 42:36.813 MANIFESTATIONS OF OUR COVENANT UPON US, OVER OUR LOVED ONES, 42:36.813 --> 42:40.306 OVER OUR THANKSGIVING, OVER THE DAYS LEADING UP OVER THE 42:40.306 --> 42:43.773 THANKSGIVING DAY AND EVEN THEREAFTER. WE SPEAK TRAVEL 42:43.773 --> 42:48.273 MERCIES. WE ARE COVERED. WE ARE SEALED IN THE LAMB'S BLOOD AND 42:48.273 --> 42:54.632 THROUGH THE BLOOD OF SPRINKLING, WE APPLY THAT BLOOD UPON US, 42:54.632 --> 42:59.793 UPON OUR LOVED ONES, OUR FAMILIES, OVER THOSE THAT TRAVEL 42:59.793 --> 43:05.222 AND OVER OUR TRAVEL AND OVER THOSE WHO STAY. IT IS AND SHALL 43:05.222 --> 43:12.753 BE A BLESSED THANKSGIVING SEASON. NO TRAUMA, NO TRAGEDY, 43:12.753 --> 43:18.543 NO CALAMITIES, NO ACCIDENTS, NO INJURIES, NO SICKNESS, NO 43:18.543 --> 43:24.092 DISEASE, NO HARASSMENT, NO STRIFE, NO DIVISION. WE SPEAK 43:24.092 --> 43:29.492 THE BLESSINGS OF OUR COVENANT. WE RELEASE IT NOW. AND SAY IT IS 43:29.492 --> 43:33.693 ENFORCED. AND THERE IS A PERMANENT COVENANT BOUNDARY LINE 43:33.693 --> 43:37.713 ESTABLISHED UPON US, OUR LOVED ONES, OUR FAMILIES, EVEN OVER 43:37.713 --> 43:42.663 THIS CHURCH THAT I PASTOR AND OUR E-MEMBERS. AND WE THANK YOU 43:42.663 --> 43:48.512 FOR IT IN YESHUA'S NAME. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANGELS THAT 43:48.512 --> 43:52.802 HONOR THAT COVENANT. AND THEY CARRY OUT AS PART OF OUR 43:52.802 --> 44:00.452 INHERITANCE AS SAINTS OF GOD. IT IS WELL AND SHALL BE WELL. 44:00.452 --> 44:06.123 EVERYBODY SAID? AMEN. AMEN.

PASTOR BRENDA. 52:23.976 --> 52:27.809 GUYS, IT WAS AWESOME. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU KNOW, I'VE HEARD 52:27.809 --> 52:33.358 PEOPLE SAY OVER THE YEARS, ONE OF THE REASONS THAT PASTOR HANK 52:33.358 --> 52:37.018 HAD THE VISION FOR STARTING 242 IS SO PEOPLE CAN BUILD 52:37.018 --> 52:40.918 RELATIONSHIPS. BUT I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY OVER THE YEARS, YOU 52:40.918 --> 52:44.278 KNOW, IF THE CHURCH GETS TOO BIG, I HAVE TO GO TO A SMALLER 52:44.278 --> 52:47.614 CHURCH. AND YOU KNOW, I GET IT. IT'S A BIGGER CAMPUS. YOU KNOW, 52:47.614 --> 52:49.768 THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO A CHURCH WITH A REALLY LARGE 52:49.768 --> 52:52.349 CAMPUS, I REALIZED YOU COULD GET YOUR STEPS IN JUST GOING TO 52:52.349 --> 52:57.059 SERVICE. JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW, BUT OF COURSE, WE HAVE AN 52:57.059 --> 53:01.434 AMAZING TEAM, PASTOR DOUG AND EILEEN, THAT JUST HELP PEOPLE IF 53:01.434 --> 53:05.188 THEY NEED SPECIAL ASSISTANCE. AND WE'RE ALWAYS GROWING OUR 53:05.188 --> 53:08.458 WAYS OF DOING THAT. BUT I WILL SAY PEOPLE SAID, "OH, I'M NOT 53:08.458 --> 53:12.478 SURE ABOUT A BIG CHURCH." AND I ALWAYS HAVE TWO ANSWERS. ONE I 53:12.478 --> 53:15.958 TOOK FROM PASTOR HANK, WHO SAID, "HEAVEN'S BIG, SO DON'T BE 53:15.958 --> 53:19.978 AFRAID OF A BIG GROUP." SECONDLY, PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, I'D 53:19.978 --> 53:24.389 RATHER HAVE A SMALLER CHURCH." THAT'S WHY WE DO 242, IS WE HAVE 53:24.389 --> 53:28.197 SMALLER GROUPS THAT YOU CAN CONNECT TO ON VARIOUS LEVELS. SO 53:28.197 --> 53:32.009 I JUST LOVE THE 242 EXPRESSION. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY 53:32.009 --> 53:34.768 PERSONALLY FROM PASTOR HANK AND MYSELF, THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE 53:34.768 --> 53:38.639 GROUP LEADERS WHO WILLINGLY OPEN YOUR HOME. AND I KNOW THERE'S 53:38.639 --> 53:42.148 PREPARATION. YOU WANT PEOPLE TO THINK THAT YOU LIVE PERFECTLY 53:42.148 --> 53:47.998 WITH NO MESSES, 24/7. SO I DO THANK YOU. SO I ENCOURAGE YOU GO 53:47.998 --> 53:51.478 OUT TO THE INFORMATION CENTER, AND IF YOU'RE NOT A PART OF A 53:51.478 --> 53:56.458 242 GROUP, AND NO PRESSURE, JUST SEE HOW AWESOME AND REWARDING IT 53:56.458 --> 54:00.688 IS TO BUILD THOSE RELATIONSHIPS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. AMEN? ALL 54:00.688 --> 54:05.338 RIGHT, WELL, BEFORE WE GET INTO IT, DO WANT TO REMIND, I THINK 54:05.338 --> 54:09.628 IT'S CAMILA'S MEETING BAPTISM PEOPLE IN THE FOYER. OKAY, I GOT 54:09.628 --> 54:12.748 THAT RIGHT. SO IF YOU ARE BEING BAPTIZED THERE, YOU WENT THROUGH 54:12.748 --> 54:16.619 THE BAPTISM CLASS, THEY CAN BE PART OF THAT. SO JUST GO OUT THE 54:16.619 --> 54:20.398 DOOR AND YOU'LL FIND CAMILA BLACKBURN OUT THERE AND JUST YOU 54:20.398 --> 54:23.518 CAN BE DISMISSED PROBABLY AT THE CLOSE OF OFFERING. I THINK 54:23.518 --> 54:27.119 THAT'S PROBABLY FINE. JUST A COUPLE QUICK THINGS. THIS 54:27.119 --> 54:30.929 WEDNESDAY IS, AND ALL OF OUR ONLINE, I'LL APPRECIATE THIS, 54:30.929 --> 54:34.018 BUT THIS IS ESPECIALLY FOR EVERYBODY HERE IN PERSON. WE 54:34.018 --> 54:37.648 WILL BE ONLINE ONLY DOING AN OUR HEART TO YOUR HOME SEGMENT, 54:37.648 --> 54:41.728 PASTOR HANK AND MYSELF. SINCE EVERYBODY WILL BE COOKING AND 54:41.728 --> 54:45.449 MAKING THEIR JELLO AND THEIR ANGEL EGGS AND THEIR PIES ON 54:45.449 --> 54:50.188 WEDNESDAY, YOU CAN TURN THE TV ON AND LISTEN TO PASTOR HANK AND 54:50.188 --> 54:54.329 BRENDA PREACH TO YOU. AND WE'VE GOT A GOOD WORD PLAN, BUT ALSO 54:54.329 --> 54:57.239 IT'LL BE AN ONLINE ONLY SERVICE THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT SEVEN 54:57.239 --> 55:01.206 O'CLOCK CENTRAL. SO MARK THAT ON YOUR CALENDAR AND YOU CAN LISTEN 55:01.206 --> 55:04.168 AND WE WOULD JUST LOVE YOU TO BE A PART OF IT. IT'LL BE VERY, 55:04.168 --> 55:07.438 VERY GOOD. WHICH I'LL SAY, BY THE WAY, IF WE EVER HAVE A SNOW 55:07.438 --> 55:10.588 ISSUE OR A SNOW EVENT, PASTOR HANK AND I WILL ALWAYS GO LIVE 55:10.588 --> 55:15.119 ONLINE FROM OUR HOUSE. AND WE'RE WILLING TO DO THAT. PASTOR SHANE 55:15.119 --> 55:19.739 SETS UP THESE INSTANT STUDIOS. I MEAN, HE IS LIKE THE POPUP 55:19.739 --> 55:23.398 STUDIO KING. AND I MEAN, THAT MAN, I'M TELLING YOU. AND THEN 55:23.398 --> 55:26.639 HE TOLD ME, I DON'T KNOW HOW TRUE, OR AT LEAST SOMEBODY IN 55:26.639 --> 55:30.599 MEDIA TOLD ME THAT IF WE'RE IN A BLIZZARD, THEY CAN MAKE IT GO 55:30.599 --> 55:33.898 LIVE IN OUR HOUSE REMOTELY. SO I DON'T KNOW, WE'LL SEE WHAT 55:33.898 --> 55:36.659 HAPPENS. SO WITH THE SNOW COMING NEXT WEEK, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE 55:36.659 --> 55:39.599 A GOOD TIME TO MAKE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT. WE'LL HAVE TO SEE 55:39.599 --> 55:42.179 WHAT IT DOES. AND ONE THING THAT WE ARE ABOUT, AND I WILL SAY 55:42.179 --> 55:45.268 THIS AT LORD OF HOSTS, WE DON'T LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, SOME 55:45.268 --> 55:49.559 CHURCHES, I MEAN, WE'RE NOT THE LAST STANDING PASTOR TRYING TO 55:49.559 --> 55:52.949 DECIDE IF WE'RE GONNA CANCEL. WE'VE GOTTEN TO A PLACE WHERE WE 55:52.949 --> 55:55.679 JUST, YOU KNOW, SOME PASTORS WILL WAIT TILL LIKE THE LAST 55:55.679 --> 55:58.228 SECOND, AND THEIR PEOPLE ARE UP, YOU KNOW, AT SIX IN THE MORNING, 55:58.228 --> 56:01.079 LIKE, "SHOULD I SHOVEL MY DRIVEWAY? DO I NEED TO GET THERE 56:01.079 --> 56:04.858 OR NOT?" AND MY FEELING IS, IS, YOU KNOW, DON'T PUT PEOPLE AT 56:04.858 --> 56:08.429 RISK IF YOU CAN HELP IT. WE HAVE INTERNET NOW, SO MANY THINGS 56:08.429 --> 56:11.849 HAPPEN. IT USED TO BE BACK IN THE DAY, PASTORS, AND RIGHTFULLY 56:11.849 --> 56:14.188 SO, WOULD WORRY ABOUT NOT GETTING THE OFFERING THAT 56:14.188 --> 56:16.018 SUNDAY. YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE PAYROLL TO MAKE, THEY HAVE TO 56:16.018 --> 56:19.139 PAY THE RENT ON THEIR BUILDINGS AND SO FORTH. AND SO IT'S 56:19.139 --> 56:21.148 THROUGH THE GOODWILL OF THE PEOPLE. BUT NOW WE HAVE 56:21.148 --> 56:26.248 ELECTRONIC GIVING. SO IT REALLY, WE ALWAYS JUST WANT YOUR SAFETY 56:26.248 --> 56:29.278 TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WHEN WE DECIDE TO CANCEL. AND IF 56:29.278 --> 56:33.088 THE STORM IS COMING ANYWHERE IN THAT VICINITY OF THE CAMPUS 56:33.088 --> 56:36.958 GETTING OPEN, AND BY THE WAY, IT TAKES A SMALL ARMY TO OPEN THIS 56:36.958 --> 56:41.039 CAMPUS. LET'S JUST, SINCE WE'RE GIVING SHOUT OUTS TO THE 56:41.039 --> 56:43.199 ARMSTRONG, LES YOU GET HERE AT LIKE WHAT TIME IN THE 56:43.199 --> 56:49.469 MORNING, LIKE BEFORE DAWN OR, IT'S EARLY.

THANK YOU, SON, I 58:19.436 --> 58:22.289 APPRECIATE THAT. GIVE A HAND CLAP TO THAT GUY WHO'S NOT A 58:22.289 --> 58:27.329 GREEN BAY PACKER FAN AT ALL. I KNOW, WE WILL TAKE OUR NAP AND 58:27.329 --> 58:30.059 SEE THE GAME. WE'RE A FOOTBALL CHURCH, SORRY, WE TALK ABOUT IT 58:30.059 --> 58:34.168 A LOT. EVERY PASTOR NEEDS A HOBBY. I THINK OURS IS FOOTBALL 58:34.168 --> 58:37.135 AND THEN FOOTBALL, AND I'M JUST AS BAD AS THE GUYS ARE, I DON'T 58:37.135 --> 58:41.188 KNOW. HELP US, LORD, HELP US, LORD. ALL RIGHT, LET ME READ 58:41.188 --> 58:44.849 THIS SCRIPTURE TO YOU. THIS IS ECCLESIASTES, AND I STARTED ON 58:44.849 --> 58:47.699 THIS LAST WEEK, BUT IT SAYS, VERSE 1, "CAST YOUR BREAD ON THE 58:47.699 --> 58:51.688 WATERS, "FOR YOU SHALL FIND IT AFTER MANY DAYS. "GIVE A PORTION 58:51.688 --> 58:55.798 TO SEVEN AND ALSO TO EIGHT." IN OTHER WORDS, CONTINUE 58:55.798 --> 59:00.268 COMPOUNDING YOUR GIVING. "FOR YOU KNOW NOT WHAT EVIL SHALL BE 59:00.268 --> 59:03.478 ON THE EARTH, "FOR IF THE CLOUDS BE FULL OF RAIN, "THEY EMPTY 59:03.478 --> 59:06.898 THEMSELVES ON THE EARTH. AND IF THE TREE FALLS TOWARD THE SOUTH 59:06.898 --> 59:10.108 OR TOWARD THE NORTH IN THE PLACE WHERE IT FALLS, THERE IT SHALL 59:10.108 --> 59:14.699 BE." NOW, WHAT HE'S SAYING HERE IS THERE ARE LAWS THAT GOVERN 59:14.699 --> 59:20.699 THE EARTH, RIGHT? THERE ARE LAWS THAT ARE IN MOTION. AND OUR JOB 59:20.699 --> 59:25.829 IS TO INVEST AND BE GIVERS BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS 59:25.829 --> 59:29.009 HAPPENING IN THE EARTH. WE NEED TO BE PREPARED. IT'S INTERESTING 59:29.009 --> 59:32.639 THAT, YOU KNOW, IN FACT, WATCHING FOOTBALL, I SEE ALL OF 59:32.639 --> 59:35.608 THESE COMMERCIALS ALL THE TIME ABOUT PEOPLE PLANNING FOR THEIR 59:35.608 --> 59:39.958 RETIREMENT AND, YOU KNOW, PLANNING AHEAD IN THEIR LIFE. 59:39.958 --> 59:43.889 HOW MANY INSURANCE COMMERCIALS DO WE NEED? I MEAN, EVERY 59:43.889 --> 59:46.889 INSURANCE COMMERCIAL THAT IS KNOWN TO MAN COMES UP DURING 59:46.889 --> 59:50.969 SPORTS. AND THE THING OF IT IS, IS IT'S ALL ABOUT PLANNING FOR 59:50.969 --> 59:54.838 YOUR LIFE IN THE NATURAL. BUT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER AS BELIEVERS, 59:54.838 --> 59:58.619 WE HAVE TO PLAN IN THE SPIRITUAL. AND THE WAY WE PLAN 59:58.619 --> 01:00:02.429 IN THE SPIRITUAL, JESUS SAID IT IN MATTHEW 6, HE SAID, LAY UP 01:00:02.429 --> 01:00:07.289 FOR YOURSELF TREASURES IN HEAVEN, RIGHT? DON'T JUST LAY 01:00:07.289 --> 01:00:11.248 THEM UP ON THE EARTH, DON'T JUST GET A 401K, DON'T JUST HAVE YOUR 01:00:11.248 --> 01:00:15.148 INSURANCE POLICY UP TO DATE, YOUR LIFE INSURANCE, DON'T JUST 01:00:15.148 --> 01:00:18.989 GET YOUR ESTATE READY OR YOUR WILL. YOU, THAT'S, THOSE ARE 01:00:18.989 --> 01:00:22.918 IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE NATURAL, BUT SPIRITUALLY, WE NEED TO BE 01:00:22.918 --> 01:00:29.009 PLANNING IN ADVANCE. WE NEED TO, BECAUSE THAT IS GOD'S PLAN FOR 01:00:29.009 --> 01:00:34.139 ENSURING YOUR WELLBEING, NO MATTER WHAT, COME ON, HAPPENS ON 01:00:34.139 --> 01:00:39.088 THE EARTH HERE IN THIS LIFE. WE PLAN WHERE JESUS SAID, "IF YOU 01:00:39.088 --> 01:00:43.228 LAY UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES IN HEAVEN," RIGHT? WE ONLY GET 01:00:43.228 --> 01:00:48.193 ONE LIFE, I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT, ONE LIFE TO INVEST IN SPIRITUAL 01:00:48.193 --> 01:00:53.594 THINGS. THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY. WE CAN INVEST OUR FINANCES, OUR 01:00:53.594 --> 01:00:58.034 TIME. COME ON, YOU SAW THESE 242 LEADERS TODAY, THEY'RE INVESTING 01:00:58.034 --> 01:01:01.514 THEIR TIME, THEIR HOMES, IN SPIRITUAL THINGS. COME ON, 01:01:01.514 --> 01:01:04.574 THINGS THAT WE TAKE TO HEAVEN. WE'RE NOT TAKING ANYTHING TO 01:01:04.574 --> 01:01:08.684 HEAVEN WITH US EXCEPT WHAT WE DO FOR GOD ON THIS EARTH. OKAY, WE 01:01:08.684 --> 01:01:12.253 DON'T GET TO TAKE OUR FAVORITE COLLECTION OF ANYTHING, WE DON'T 01:01:12.253 --> 01:01:15.704 GET TO TAKE OUR HOUSES, YOU DON'T GET TO TAKE YOUR FAVORITE 01:01:15.704 --> 01:01:20.384 CAR, WE DON'T GET TO TAKE ANYTHING. WE GET TO TAKE WHAT WE 01:01:20.384 --> 01:01:24.134 INVEST IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. AND JESUS SAID, IF YOU LAY UP 01:01:24.134 --> 01:01:29.264 FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES IN HEAVEN, THE DEVIL CAN'T TOUCH 01:01:29.264 --> 01:01:33.554 THOSE TREASURES. THE EARTH, CURSE, CANNOT TOUCH THOSE 01:01:33.554 --> 01:01:36.134 THINGS. PEOPLE SAY ALL THE TIME, WELL, WE'RE REDEEMED FROM THE 01:01:36.134 --> 01:01:39.313 CURSE. YES, THE CURSE OF THE LAW WE'RE REDEEMED FROM, BUT THERE'S 01:01:39.313 --> 01:01:43.153 STILL A WORKING CURSE IN THE EARTH THAT WE HAVE TO COME 01:01:43.153 --> 01:01:48.134 AGAINST ON A REGULAR BASIS. AMEN. BY THE WAY, IF YOU WERE, 01:01:48.134 --> 01:01:52.094 HAD SOMEBODY LAY HANDS ON YOU TODAY IN THE SERVICE FOR YOU TO 01:01:52.094 --> 01:01:56.353 BE HEALED, THEN YOU NEED TO KEEP PRESSING TOWARD THAT HEALING. 01:01:56.353 --> 01:01:58.423 DON'T JUST WALK OUT AND GO, WELL, I DON'T FEEL ANY 01:01:58.423 --> 01:02:02.264 DIFFERENT. I'LL SHARE A LITTLE TESTIMONY WITH YOU. I HAD THIS 01:02:02.264 --> 01:02:06.673 LITTLE GROWTH, THIS LITTLE SKIN TAG ON MY SKIN. IT WASN'T VERY 01:02:06.673 --> 01:02:09.463 BIG, AND I KNEW IT WASN'T DANGEROUS OR ANYTHING. IT DIDN'T 01:02:09.463 --> 01:02:11.983 HURT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. AND I THOUGHT, WELL, I'M GOING TO 01:02:11.983 --> 01:02:14.474 GET ONE OF THOSE LITTLE KITS AND TRY TO GET RID OF IT. HAVE YOU 01:02:14.474 --> 01:02:18.434 EVER HAD ANYWAY, SO AND I'M SHARING THIS FOR A REASON. AND 01:02:18.434 --> 01:02:22.152 FINALLY, THE LORD SAID TO ME, HE SAID, DID YOU CURSE THAT? AND I 01:02:22.152 --> 01:02:26.114 THOUGHT, WELL, GOODNESS, LORD, NO, I DIDN'T. AND I BEGAN TO 01:02:26.114 --> 01:02:29.114 CURSE IT. AND YOU KNOW THAT THING, AFTER I CURSE, I SAID, IN 01:02:29.114 --> 01:02:32.233 THE NAME OF JESUS, YOU'RE ILLEGAL. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED ON 01:02:32.233 --> 01:02:34.963 ME. YOU GET OFF OF ME IN THE NAME OF JESUS. I MEAN, NOT ONLY 01:02:34.963 --> 01:02:37.545 ARE THESE LITTLE TAGS, THEY'RE UGLY, BUT YOU KNOW, THEY JUST 01:02:37.545 --> 01:02:41.534 DON'T HAVE A RIGHT. AND YOU KNOW THAT THING SHRIVELED UP, DRIED 01:02:41.534 --> 01:02:47.204 AND FELL OFF. AND I'M TELLING YOU, NOW, MY REASON FOR SHARING 01:02:47.204 --> 01:02:51.733 THAT IS SOME THINGS ARE A PROCESS, OKAY? DON'T JUST SAY, 01:02:51.733 --> 01:02:54.403 WELL, HANDS WERE LAID, OKAY, WELL, WE'LL SEE, I HOPE 01:02:54.403 --> 01:02:57.463 SOMETHING HAPPENED. NO, YOU PRESS IN, SAME WAY WITH YOUR 01:02:57.463 --> 01:03:01.813 FINANCES. YOU PRESS IN, YOU INVEST IN THE SPIRITUAL. IF YOU 01:03:01.813 --> 01:03:06.014 GIVE YOUR TITHE, YOU FOLLOW IT UP AND CLAIM TITHER’S RIGHTS. 01:03:06.014 --> 01:03:09.943 YOU CLAIM THE BLESSING, YOU DECLARE IN JESUS NAME THAT YOU 01:03:09.943 --> 01:03:13.423 GET WHAT YOU SAY. AND IF THERE'S SOMETHING OF THE CURSE THAT'S 01:03:13.423 --> 01:03:16.333 TRYING TO COME AGAINST YOU, WHETHER IT'S YOUR HEALTH, COME 01:03:16.333 --> 01:03:20.563 ON, WORK THE PROCESS. WORK THE PROCESS, THAT LITTLE GROWTH 01:03:20.563 --> 01:03:25.094 DIDN'T FALL OFF IN A DAY. NO, IT FELL OFF. I SPOKE TO IT AND I 01:03:25.094 --> 01:03:30.914 COMMANDED IT AND IT WAS A PROCESS, BUT IT LEFT, IT LEFT. 01:03:30.914 --> 01:03:35.833 SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU, SPEAK AND WORK THE PROCESS. THIS IS 01:03:35.833 --> 01:03:39.853 WHAT THIS WORD IS SAYING. SO THERE'S ALWAYS A CURSE IN THE 01:03:39.853 --> 01:03:44.083 EARTH THAT WILL TRY, RIGHT? BUT THEN LOOK WHAT HE SAYS, "BUT HE 01:03:44.083 --> 01:03:47.173 THAT OBSERVES THE WIND WILL NOT SOW." IN OTHER WORDS, HE WON'T 01:03:47.173 --> 01:03:50.177 TITHE BECAUSE IT'S NOT A CONVENIENT TIME IN HIS OR HER 01:03:50.177 --> 01:03:54.914 LIFE. AND HE THAT REGARDS THE CLOUDS SHALL NOT REAP. IN OTHER 01:03:54.914 --> 01:03:57.614 WORDS, IF YOU WANT TO HARVEST, YOU CAN'T ALWAYS BASE IT ON YOUR 01:03:57.614 --> 01:04:03.134 CIRCUMSTANCE. YOU SOW, YOU SPEAK, YOU DECLARE, YOU DO, YOU 01:04:03.134 --> 01:04:07.724 DO SPIRITUAL THINGS NO MATTER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES BEING 01:04:07.724 --> 01:04:12.853 PRESENTED TO US. I SAID TO THE GROUP ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT THAT 01:04:12.853 --> 01:04:17.443 YOU CAN'T THINK AWAY A PROBLEM. YOU HAVE TO TALK TO IT. IF YOU 01:04:17.443 --> 01:04:20.713 DON'T TALK TO THE PROBLEM OUT LOUD WHERE YOUR OWN EARS CAN 01:04:20.713 --> 01:04:25.063 HEAR, THAT PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO ENCROACH ON YOUR LIFE. YOU 01:04:25.063 --> 01:04:28.333 CURSE THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT FROM GOD. YOU COMMAND THOSE 01:04:28.333 --> 01:04:31.844 THINGS TO BACK UP AND GET OUT OF YOUR LIFE. IF YOU'RE DEALING 01:04:31.844 --> 01:04:36.733 WITH EMOTIONAL HURT, YES, TASHA, YOU LAY HANDS ON YOURSELF AND 01:04:36.733 --> 01:04:42.373 YOU SAY, SELF, YOU BE HEALED IN JESUS' NAME. YOU BE WELL IN THE 01:04:42.373 --> 01:04:46.483 NAME OF JESUS. YOU SPEAK TO YOURSELF AND YOU WORK THE 01:04:46.483 --> 01:04:50.983 PROCESS. AND IT'S NO DIFFERENT WITH OUR TITHES AND OUR 01:04:50.983 --> 01:04:54.643 OFFERINGS. LET ME READ THE REST OF THIS AND WE'LL GET PASTOR UP. 01:04:54.643 --> 01:04:58.664 FOR YOU KNOW NOT WHAT IS THE WAY OF THE SPIRIT, NOR HOW THE BONES 01:04:58.664 --> 01:05:01.664 GROW IN THE WOMB. WELL, COME ON, THERE'S A SPIRIT REALM THAT'S 01:05:01.664 --> 01:05:06.793 BEHIND ALL OF THIS, RIGHT? WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS. 01:05:06.793 --> 01:05:09.614 YOU DON'T KNOW HOW THE BONES GROW IN THE WOMB OF HER THAT'S 01:05:09.614 --> 01:05:13.213 WITH CHILD, OR EVEN SO, THOU KNOWEST NOT THE WORKS OF GOD. WE 01:05:13.213 --> 01:05:16.123 DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES, DO 01:05:16.123 --> 01:05:20.833 WE? WE JUST DO WHAT THE WORD TELLS US TO DO. SO HERE'S WHAT 01:05:20.833 --> 01:05:23.713 IT SAYS, BECAUSE YOU DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHAT GOES ON BEHIND 01:05:23.713 --> 01:05:28.454 THE SCENES, I'M PARAPHRASING IT. VERSE 6, "IN THE MORNING, SOW 01:05:28.454 --> 01:05:31.719 YOUR SEED, AND IN THE EVENING WITHHOLD NOT YOUR HAND." IN 01:05:31.719 --> 01:05:35.684 OTHER WORDS, LOOK FOR EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THE WORD OF 01:05:35.684 --> 01:05:40.213 GOD INTO MOTION AND SOW YOUR SEEDS, SOW YOUR TITHES, SOW YOUR 01:05:40.213 --> 01:05:43.724 OFFERINGS. DON'T JUST GO, "WELL, YOU KNOW, I GAVE TO THE BUILDING 01:05:43.724 --> 01:05:47.353 PROJECT LAST YEAR, OR I GAVE TO THIS, OR I DID THAT." NO, LOOK 01:05:47.353 --> 01:05:50.684 FOR NEW OPPORTUNITIES ALL THE TIME. YOU KNOW, WE LIVE IN 01:05:50.684 --> 01:05:55.514 NEBRASKA, AND I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE NEBRASKA FARMER SOW A SINGLE 01:05:55.514 --> 01:06:02.864 SEED OF CORN. BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT, YEAH, A SINGLE SEED COULD 01:06:02.864 --> 01:06:09.164 BE STAMPED OUT, OKAY? OR SOME PRODUCE MORE THAN OTHERS, RIGHT? 01:06:09.164 --> 01:06:12.914 SOME SEEDS, WE DON'T KNOW THE PROCESS. HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT 01:06:12.914 --> 01:06:16.934 ONE MIGHT GET TOO MUCH WATER AND ANOTHER NOT ENOUGH, SO THEY SOW 01:06:16.934 --> 01:06:21.853 MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF SEEDS ON ACRES AND ACRES AND ACRES OF 01:06:21.853 --> 01:06:26.083 LAND BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY SOME OF THAT IS GOING TO 01:06:26.083 --> 01:06:30.853 YIELD AMAZING RESULTS. SO YOU LOOK FOR EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO 01:06:30.853 --> 01:06:34.423 SOW BECAUSE MORE SEED IN THE GROUND MEANS A GREATER 01:06:34.423 --> 01:06:38.684 OPPORTUNITY FOR GREATER HARVEST. SO IN THE MORNING SOW, IN THE 01:06:38.684 --> 01:06:41.443 EVENING LOOK FOR EVERY OPPORTUNITY. DON'T LET AN 01:06:41.443 --> 01:06:46.873 OPPORTUNITY PASS YOU BY. WORK THE PROCESS, RIGHT? FOR YOU KNOW 01:06:46.873 --> 01:06:52.454 NOT WHAT WILL PROSPER OR THIS OR THAT, OR WHETHER THEY BOTH SHALL 01:06:52.454 --> 01:06:55.963 BE ALIKE GOOD. AND IN OTHER WORDS, YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH 01:06:55.963 --> 01:06:59.804 ACTIVITY WILL PRODUCE AND WHEN. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU AS WE 01:06:59.804 --> 01:07:05.023 CLOSE UP 2025 AND WE'RE COMING TO THE END, WORK THE PROCESS OF 01:07:05.023 --> 01:07:09.434 SOWING YOUR SEEDS, WORK IT, DON'T PUT IT IN THE GROUND AND 01:07:09.434 --> 01:07:13.123 THEN SPEAK TO IT. REBUKE THE CURSE FROM COMING AGAINST IT. 01:07:13.123 --> 01:07:16.423 THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT, YOU KNOW, PASTOR AND I DO. WE SAY 01:07:16.423 --> 01:07:20.804 NO, EVERY SEED WE SOW, I HELD UP A SEED THAT I CLAIMED SOMETHING 01:07:20.804 --> 01:07:24.195 FOR THE OTHER DAY AND I SAID, GOD, I AM GOING TO GET EVERY BIT 01:07:24.195 --> 01:07:28.094 OF HARVEST FROM THAT SEED AND THAT OFFERING. I REFUSE TO 01:07:28.094 --> 01:07:33.164 ACCEPT ANY LESS. I REFUSE IT. AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU, WORK 01:07:33.164 --> 01:07:37.393 THE PROCESS. PUT YOUR SEED IN THE GROUND AND WORK THE PROCESS 01:07:37.393 --> 01:07:44.534 AND DON'T BACK UP. GOD'S WORD ALWAYS WILL WORK FOR YOU. AMEN. 01:07:44.534 --> 01:07:47.324 ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT THE GIVING INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN. 01:07:47.324 --> 01:07:51.043 GET PASTOR UP TO PREACH QUICKLY. PRAISE THE LORD.

SO HOW 01:11:07.420 --> 01:11:13.149 MANY OF YOU FOUND OUT WHO IS GONNA MAKE MY SPECIAL STUFFING? 01:11:13.149 --> 01:11:16.988 WHILE THE USHERS ARE SERVING YOU, I JUST THOUGHT I'D KIND OF 01:11:16.988 --> 01:11:24.189 GET A SURVEY. THERE'S NOBODY THAT'S WATCHING, THOSE OF YOU 01:11:24.189 --> 01:11:29.949 ONLINE, NO, NO TAKERS. I WAS GONNA REPRESENT OR RECOMMEND THE 01:11:29.949 --> 01:11:34.899 PEANUT BUTTER M&M'S STUFFING OPTION, BUT I GUESS, SO BRENDA 01:11:34.899 --> 01:11:38.524 AT LEAST WILL BE THE ONLY ONES, RIGHT? SHE'S LOOKING AT ME LIKE, 01:11:38.524 --> 01:11:45.130 NO! AND SO, ANYWAY, I HAVE A LOT OF FUN, BY THE WAY. HOW MANY OF 01:11:45.130 --> 01:11:48.909 YOU WIVES, YOU'RE MOSTLY THE ONE THAT DOES THE COOKING? AND THIS 01:11:48.909 --> 01:11:52.270 ISN'T A MALE/FEMALE THING, I'M JUST ASKING A QUESTION. HOW MANY 01:11:52.270 --> 01:11:55.090 OF YOU HUSBANDS, YOU'RE THE ONE THAT NORMALLY PREPARES THE 01:11:55.090 --> 01:11:57.880 TURKEY? THAT'S AWESOME. BUT YOU KNOW ONE THING I LOVE TO DO, 01:11:57.880 --> 01:12:01.000 WHETHER YOU'RE THE HUSBAND OR THE WIFE THEN, BUT THE PERSON 01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:04.885 THAT'S DOING THE COOKING, I LIKE TO BE OUT THERE WITH BRENDA, I 01:12:04.885 --> 01:12:12.819 REALLY DO. AND SHE MAKES A VERY AMAZING MESS. AND I GET TO, I 01:12:12.819 --> 01:12:17.710 PEEL THE POTATOES, AND WHAT ELSE, BRENDA, I PEEL THE 01:12:17.710 --> 01:12:23.470 POTATOES, I HELP PREPARE THE ANGEL EGGS, MAKE THE JELLO, WHAT 01:12:23.470 --> 01:12:29.529 ELSE, DO ALL THE DISHES, DRY 'EM. I STEAL KISSES, I FLIRT 01:12:29.529 --> 01:12:34.060 WITH THE CHEF, YOU KNOW, IT'S AWESOME STUFF. AND SHE'S LIKE, 01:12:34.060 --> 01:12:41.657 I'M CONCENTRATING, SO AM I, ON YOU. ANYWAY. WELL, IT'S TRUE, SO 01:12:41.657 --> 01:12:45.520 THERE YOU GO. AND I GIVE THANKS FOR THAT. ALL RIGHT, I'M READY 01:12:45.520 --> 01:12:47.770 TO GET IN THE WORD, HOW ABOUT YOU? ALL RIGHT, LET'S OPEN UP 01:12:47.770 --> 01:12:53.109 OUR BIBLES TO MATTHEW CHAPTER 22. AND WE'RE GOING TO PICK UP 01:12:53.109 --> 01:12:56.079 WHERE WE LEFT OFF, WHERE WE'VE BEEN LEAVING OFF. AND IT SEEMS 01:12:56.079 --> 01:12:59.050 LIKE EVERY TIME I TRY TO MOVE AWAY FROM THIS MESSAGE, IT'S 01:12:59.050 --> 01:13:02.260 LIKE THE LORD JUST KEEPS SAYING, STAY WITH IT. SO WE'RE GONNA 01:13:02.260 --> 01:13:05.170 JUST STAY WITH IT, AND WE'LL JUST KEEP GOING WITH WHERE GOD 01:13:05.170 --> 01:13:10.329 WANTS US. BUT I AM EXCITED THOUGH FOR MY CHRISTMAS MESSAGE. 01:13:10.329 --> 01:13:13.239 HOW MANY OF YOU THINK THAT WAS KIND OF A COOL THING? WE'RE 01:13:13.239 --> 01:13:16.899 GONNA HAVE A LOT OF FUN WITH IT. SO, ALL RIGHT, MATTHEW 22:36, 01:13:16.899 --> 01:13:20.170 WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT WHAT JESUS SAID. NOW, WE HAVE TO 01:13:20.170 --> 01:13:24.760 REMEMBER WHAT WAS LEADING UP TO THIS. THERE WAS A QUESTION THAT 01:13:24.760 --> 01:13:28.000 WAS ASKED TO JESUS BY AN ATTORNEY, A LAWYER, AND HE WAS 01:13:28.000 --> 01:13:34.060 TRYING TO TRAP JESUS, RIGHT, TO GET HIM TO, YOU KNOW, TRIP UP 01:13:34.060 --> 01:13:38.859 OVER HIS WORDS OR HIS DOCTRINE OR WHATEVER. BUT NOTICE, HERE'S 01:13:38.859 --> 01:13:44.380 THE QUESTION, MASTER, WHICH IS THE GREATEST OR THE GREAT 01:13:44.380 --> 01:13:48.640 COMMANDMENT IN THE LAW? AND LET'S CONTINUE TO READ. AND 01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:55.840 JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, YOU SHOULD LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD. NOW, I 01:13:55.840 --> 01:13:58.539 WANT YOU TO SEE THAT WORD LOVE, UNDERLINE THAT, BECAUSE WE ARE 01:13:58.539 --> 01:14:03.460 GONNA TALK ABOUT LOVE AS WE CLOSE OUT THIS MESSAGE OVER THE 01:14:03.460 --> 01:14:08.079 NEXT COUPLE WEEKS OR SO. BUT ALSO, YOU FIND THE WORD HONOR. 01:14:08.079 --> 01:14:12.789 THOU SHALT LOVE OR THOU SHALT HONOR THE LORD. THAT'S WHAT 01:14:12.789 --> 01:14:17.289 JESUS SAID EVEN TO THE DEVIL WHEN HE WAS BEING TEMPTED. HE 01:14:17.289 --> 01:14:20.649 SAID, "NO, NO, NO, IT'S WRITTEN, "THOU SHALT HONOR THE LORD THY 01:14:20.649 --> 01:14:23.949 GOD, AND ONLY HIM SHALL YOU SERVE OR WORSHIP." SO WE'RE 01:14:23.949 --> 01:14:26.949 GONNA TALK ABOUT WHAT I BELIEVE IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR 01:14:26.949 --> 01:14:29.979 CHRISTIAN WALK. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT IF MORE CHRISTIANS, MORE 01:14:29.979 --> 01:14:34.750 PEOPLE WOULD REALLY BE GROUNDED IN HONOR. HONOR IS OF THE HEART. 01:14:34.750 --> 01:14:38.560 THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID, "MEN, HONOR ME WITH LIPS." IN OTHER 01:14:38.560 --> 01:14:41.710 WORDS, PEOPLE CAN GIVE LIP SERVICE ALL DAY LONG, BUT IF 01:14:41.710 --> 01:14:45.460 YOUR ACTIONS THAT REALLY COME FROM YOUR HEART DON'T SHOW 01:14:45.460 --> 01:14:48.970 HONOR, THEN IT'S NOT TRUE HONOR. YOU CAN SAY ALL DAY LONG THAT 01:14:48.970 --> 01:14:52.119 YOU HONOR GOD, BUT THEN YOU MISTREAT HIM. YOU COULD SAY ALL 01:14:52.119 --> 01:14:55.270 DAY LONG THAT YOU HONOR YOUR SPOUSE, BUT THEN YOU MISTREAT 01:14:55.270 --> 01:14:58.539 HIM. YOU COULD SAY ALL DAY LONG THAT YOU HONOR YOUR MOTHER AND 01:14:58.539 --> 01:15:01.210 FATHER, BUT THEN YOU MISTREAT HIM. YOU COULD SAY THAT YOU 01:15:01.210 --> 01:15:05.380 HONOR AND YOU LOVE LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT THEN YOU 01:15:05.380 --> 01:15:10.010 DISHONOR THEM. OR THEY, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME, YOU KNOW, 01:15:10.010 --> 01:15:14.829 YOU LOVE AND YOU HONOR, YOU KNOW, YOUR NATION, BUT THEN, YOU 01:15:14.829 --> 01:15:19.000 KNOW, PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT THROWING GARBAGE OUT THEIR 01:15:19.000 --> 01:15:24.130 WINDOW AND LITTERING A COUNTRY THAT THEY SAY THEY HONOR, RIGHT? 01:15:24.130 --> 01:15:27.609 AND SO WE CAN SEE WHERE LOVE AND HONOR HAS TO COME BACK TO THE 01:15:27.609 --> 01:15:31.546 FOUNDATION. YOU LOOK AT A LOT OF THE CHAOS THAT'S HAPPENING, THE 01:15:31.546 --> 01:15:35.229 STRIFE, YOU KNOW, THE GREAT MELTING POT OF AMERICA HAS 01:15:35.229 --> 01:15:39.399 BECOME THE GREAT BOILING POT. AND THERE'S THINGS THAT TRIGGER 01:15:39.399 --> 01:15:43.149 PEOPLE AND SET THEM OFF AND PEOPLE ARE TOUCHY. AND I THINK 01:15:43.149 --> 01:15:47.560 IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S A LACK OF HONOR. I GREW UP AS A CHILD BY 01:15:47.560 --> 01:15:53.500 MY PARENTS TO HONOR. WE WERE TAUGHT THAT YOU RESPECT THOSE 01:15:53.500 --> 01:15:56.319 THAT ARE IN AUTHORITY, WHETHER YOU LIKED THEM, AGREED WITH THEM 01:15:56.319 --> 01:16:00.340 OR NOT. IF THEY HAD A UNIFORM, YOU RESPECTED THEM. IF THEY HAD 01:16:00.340 --> 01:16:05.199 A TITLE, YOU CALLED THEM BY THEIR TITLE, DOCTOR, PASTOR, 01:16:05.199 --> 01:16:10.960 MR., MRS., RIGHT? YOU DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO ARGUE BACK WITH YOUR 01:16:10.960 --> 01:16:16.090 PARENTS. YOU DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO JUSTIFY YOUR POSITION, RIGHT? 01:16:16.090 --> 01:16:19.869 TODAY, PEOPLE JUST ALWAYS GOTTA HAVE THE LAST WORD. WE GOTTA LET 01:16:19.869 --> 01:16:23.020 PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY'RE WRONG AND WE'RE RIGHT. AND I JUST 01:16:23.020 --> 01:16:26.770 THINK IF WE CAME BACK TO REALLY THE UNDERSTANDING OF LAW AND 01:16:26.770 --> 01:16:29.439 HONOR AS THE FOUNDATION OF A HEART, THERE'D BE LESS 01:16:29.439 --> 01:16:33.310 ARGUMENTS, THERE'D BE LESS FAMILY STRIFE, LESS DIVORCES, 01:16:33.310 --> 01:16:37.210 THERE'D BE LESS CHAOS IN OUR SOCIETY. YOU WOULDN'T SEE 01:16:37.210 --> 01:16:40.210 BUILDINGS BEING BURNED WITH FIRE, PEOPLE'S BUSINESSES AND 01:16:40.210 --> 01:16:43.899 LIVELIHOODS BEING DESTROYED. YOU WOULDN'T SEE THE CONSTANT 01:16:43.899 --> 01:16:47.440 BICKERING AND FIGHTING THAT SEEMS TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. AND 01:16:47.440 --> 01:16:50.409 LET'S TALK, I MEAN, WE'RE NOT EVEN TALKING POLITICS, RIGHT? 01:16:50.409 --> 01:16:54.520 BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WHATEVER SIDE THEY'RE ON, RIGHT, LEFT, OR 01:16:54.520 --> 01:16:57.819 IN THE MIDDLE, IF THEY WOULD JUST DO WHAT IS HONORABLE FOR 01:16:57.819 --> 01:17:02.680 WE, THE PEOPLE, AND HAVE A LOVE FOR GOD AND INCLUDE GOD? MAN, 01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:07.210 CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE? SO LET'S CONTINUE ON. 01:17:07.210 --> 01:17:11.920 JESUS SAID THESE WORDS, "THOU SHALL LOVE, "YOU SHALL HONOR THE 01:17:11.920 --> 01:17:14.979 LORD YOUR GOD." NOW NOTICE, WE TALKED ABOUT HONORS OF THE 01:17:14.979 --> 01:17:20.590 HEART, SO IS LOVE. NOTICE THE FIRST PLACE THAT JESUS MENTIONS. 01:17:20.590 --> 01:17:26.170 HE SAID, "YOU NEED TO LOVE AND HONOR GOD FROM THE HEART, "AND 01:17:26.170 --> 01:17:29.890 WITH ALL YOUR SOUL." WHY YOUR SOUL? BECAUSE YOU CAN SAY ALL 01:17:29.890 --> 01:17:33.819 DAY LONG, "WELL, I HONOR GOD, OR I HONOR THIS PERSON, "OR I HONOR 01:17:33.819 --> 01:17:38.050 THIS THING." BUT IF YOU DON'T MAKE DECISIONS, IF YOU DON'T 01:17:38.050 --> 01:17:41.289 SUBMIT YOUR WILL, THAT'S WHAT YOUR SOUL IS, YOUR MIND, YOUR 01:17:41.289 --> 01:17:44.770 WILL, AND YOUR EMOTION, IT'S JUST LIP SERVICE. AND THEN WITH 01:17:44.770 --> 01:17:48.939 ALL YOUR MIND, YOU GOTTA MAKE A DECISION. AND THEN IT ALSO SAYS 01:17:48.939 --> 01:17:52.510 WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH. IF YOU DON'T PUT ENERGY AND ACTION 01:17:52.510 --> 01:17:56.949 BEHIND YOUR DECISIONS, YOUR MINDSET, RIGHT, YOUR EMOTIONS, 01:17:56.949 --> 01:18:00.880 YOUR WILL, YOUR HEART, IF YOU DON'T PUT ACTION, STRENGTH 01:18:00.880 --> 01:18:04.060 BEHIND IT, THEN IT'S JUST LIP SERVICE, YOU'RE WASTING YOUR 01:18:04.060 --> 01:18:08.260 TIME. AND LET ME SAY THIS, IF ONE PERSON IS TRYING TO WALK THE 01:18:08.260 --> 01:18:12.250 LOVE WALK, DON'T YOU BE THE ONE THAT GETS THEM OUT OF THE LOVE 01:18:12.250 --> 01:18:16.149 WALK. OR DON'T BE THE ONE THAT'S OUT OF THE LOVE WALK. IF MARRIED 01:18:16.149 --> 01:18:21.010 COUPLES, IF ONE PERSON'S TRYING TO BE A PERSON OF PRAYER, DON'T 01:18:21.010 --> 01:18:24.369 SAY, WELL, YOU'RE JUST OVERLY SPIRITUAL. I'M NOT GONNA PRAY 01:18:24.369 --> 01:18:26.979 WITH YOU, I'M NOT GONNA READ MY BIBLE. OR IF SOMEONE'S TRYING TO 01:18:26.979 --> 01:18:31.930 END THE ARGUMENT AND HAND YOU THE OLIVE BRANCH OF THEIR ARM OR 01:18:31.930 --> 01:18:38.217 TRY TO END THE ARGUMENT OR THE DISAGREEMENT, FOR GOODNESS SAKE, 01:18:38.217 --> 01:18:43.119 BE HONORABLE. WELL, BUT THEY'RE WRONG AND I'M NOT GONNA ADMIT 01:18:43.119 --> 01:18:49.029 IT. I DIDN'T SAY THAT. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO JUST DIFFUSE THE 01:18:49.029 --> 01:18:53.199 SITUATION AND PULL IT BACK IN THE SPIRIT. AND IT'S NOT AN 01:18:53.199 --> 01:18:56.739 ISSUE OF WHETHER YOU'RE RIGHT, THEY'RE RIGHT, THEY'RE WRONG. 01:18:56.739 --> 01:19:01.479 SOMETIMES WHAT'S WRONG IS CARRYING IT ON, CONTINUING TO 01:19:01.479 --> 01:19:05.050 HAVE IT GO. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS BY NOT LETTING THE SUN GO DOWN 01:19:05.050 --> 01:19:08.500 UPON YOUR ANGER. JUST QUIT, YOU KNOW, HASHING IT OUT. QUIT 01:19:08.500 --> 01:19:12.520 TRYING TO KEEP PROVING IT OUT AND SEEING WHO'S RIGHT AND WHO'S 01:19:12.520 --> 01:19:17.079 WRONG. YOU KNOW, BRENDA AND I, IN 36 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, MOST OF 01:19:17.079 --> 01:19:20.890 OUR ARGUMENTS, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE DON'T SIT THERE AND TRY 01:19:20.890 --> 01:19:24.039 TO PROVE OUT WHO'S RIGHT AND WHO'S WRONG. AT THE END OF THE 01:19:24.039 --> 01:19:28.329 DAY, WE REALLY DO HONESTLY JUST SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, LET'S JUST 01:19:28.329 --> 01:19:31.899 HAVE PEACE. IT DOESN'T MATTER, AND REALLY I'VE LEARNED THIS 01:19:31.899 --> 01:19:35.203 AFTER 36 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, AND I KNOW SHE'LL AGREE, THAT IT'S 01:19:35.203 --> 01:19:39.880 LIKE, WE DON'T WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT. IT'S TOO EXHAUSTING TO FIGHT 01:19:39.880 --> 01:19:43.779 ABOUT IT. RIGHT, AND WE'VE NEVER BEEN, AND I MEAN THIS, WE'VE 01:19:43.779 --> 01:19:47.229 NEVER BEEN, YOU KNOW, WE MADE AN AGREEMENT WHEN WE FIRST GOT 01:19:47.229 --> 01:19:51.310 MARRIED 36 YEARS AGO. SHE WAS 22 AND I HAD JUST TURNED 23, AND WE 01:19:51.310 --> 01:19:56.199 MADE AN AGREEMENT THAT IF WE GET MAD AND WE GET SO ANGRY, RIGHT, 01:19:56.199 --> 01:20:01.329 WE DON'T LEAVE. YOU DON'T LEAVE THE, IF YOU NEED A MOMENT TO GO 01:20:01.329 --> 01:20:04.470 IN THE OTHER ROOM, THAT'S FINE, BUT YOU'RE NOT STAYING THERE. 01:20:04.470 --> 01:20:09.699 RIGHT, YOU DON'T LEAVE THE HOUSE, RIGHT? YOU DON'T NOT 01:20:09.699 --> 01:20:16.449 ANSWER YOUR PHONE 'CAUSE WE'RE MAD. NO, THE RULE IS IF YOU'RE 01:20:16.449 --> 01:20:22.060 MAD OR YOU'RE NOT MAD, IF ONE OF US CALLS, YOU ANSWER. AND MY 01:20:22.060 --> 01:20:25.600 RULE IS IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN WITH ME AND MY WIFE CALLS, I WILL 01:20:25.600 --> 01:20:28.750 SAY, EXCUSE ME. AND I'VE BEEN WITH SOME VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE 01:20:28.750 --> 01:20:31.149 AND I'VE BEEN IN SOME VERY IMPORTANT MEETINGS AND I SAID, 01:20:31.149 --> 01:20:34.869 EXCUSE ME, MY WIFE IS CALLING AND I WANT TO HONOR HER FOR JUST 01:20:34.869 --> 01:20:38.470 A MOMENT. I'M GONNA, JUST A MOMENT. OR HEY, MY WIFE IS 01:20:38.470 --> 01:20:41.949 TEXTING ME, EXCUSE ME ONE MOMENT, I NEED TO JUST TELL HER 01:20:41.949 --> 01:20:45.970 THAT I'M IN A MEETING, PLEASE. AND I WILL SHOW MY HONOR. SHE'S 01:20:45.970 --> 01:20:48.970 DONE THE SAME THING WITH ME. BUT WE MADE A DECISION THAT WE DON'T 01:20:48.970 --> 01:20:54.310 GO STUFFING AND HUFFING AND PUFFING OUT THE DOOR. TOO MANY 01:20:54.310 --> 01:20:58.239 MARRIAGES HAVE ENDED THAT WAY. I WAS A JUVENILE COURT OFFICER FOR 01:20:58.239 --> 01:21:01.210 A LITTLE WHILE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO FIND MY WAY IN THE 01:21:01.210 --> 01:21:03.789 MINISTRY. AND I REMEMBER THERE WAS ONE LITTLE GIRL, SHE WAS 01:21:03.789 --> 01:21:06.845 ALWAYS IN TROUBLE. SHE WAS 14 YEARS OF AGE. AND I WANT YOU TO 01:21:06.845 --> 01:21:10.895 HEAR ME, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. AND SHE WAS A KIND 01:21:10.895 --> 01:21:15.786 LITTLE GIRL, BUT SHE WAS JUST IN TROUBLE ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER 01:21:15.786 --> 01:21:22.326 AND MESSING AROUND WITH BOYS AND GOING TOO FAR AND JUST CREATING 01:21:22.326 --> 01:21:26.525 A LOT OF MESS. AND THEY WERE WANTING TO PUT HER INTO FOSTER 01:21:26.525 --> 01:21:28.987 CARE. AND I SAID TO HER, I SAID, "LISTEN TO ME, "CAN I ASK YOU AN 01:21:28.987 --> 01:21:35.076 HONEST QUESTION? "THERE HAS TO BE A ROOT TO WHY YOU, "YOU ARE 01:21:35.076 --> 01:21:38.796 SUCH A NICE PERSON." AND SHE STARTED CRYING. SHE SAYS, "WELL, 01:21:38.796 --> 01:21:40.506 YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT BELIEVES THAT." AND I SAID, "NO, 01:21:40.506 --> 01:21:46.836 LISTEN TO ME. "I WANNA ASK YOU A QUESTION. "I WANNA ASK YOU WHAT 01:21:46.836 --> 01:21:51.546 HAPPENED TO YOU "THAT CAUSED YOU TO BE THIS WAY, "WHERE YOU CAN'T 01:21:51.546 --> 01:21:55.326 EVEN LOOK AT PEOPLE WHEN THEY TALK TO YOU? "YOU'RE NEVER 01:21:55.326 --> 01:22:00.126 HAPPY. "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?" AND SHE LOOKED UP AT ME AND SHE 01:22:00.126 --> 01:22:02.570 SAYS, "WHAT DO YOU CARE?" I SAID, "NO, I'M ASKING YOU. "I 01:22:02.570 --> 01:22:08.136 REALLY WANNA KNOW." SHE SAID, "WELL, IT STARTED, "AND IT WAS 01:22:08.136 --> 01:22:11.555 JUST A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME." YOU KNOW, SHE WAS LIKE 14, MAYBE 01:22:11.555 --> 01:22:16.237 ALMOST 15. SHE SAID, "I HEARD MY PARENTS ARGUING, "AND THEY WERE 01:22:16.237 --> 01:22:20.225 ARGUING AND ARGUING AND FIGHTING "AND SLAMMING DOORS AND CALLING 01:22:20.225 --> 01:22:25.775 EACH OTHER NAMES. "AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEARD MY MOM TELL MY 01:22:25.775 --> 01:22:30.336 DAD "TO GET OUT WITH AN EXPLICATIVE. "AND I WATCHED MY 01:22:30.336 --> 01:22:35.886 DAD GET INTO THE CAR "WHICH WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND HE NEVER 01:22:35.886 --> 01:22:43.536 CAME BACK." AND I SAID, "SO WHAT IS IT THAT IS DRIVING?" SHE 01:22:43.536 --> 01:22:52.086 SAID, "I HATE MY MOM. "I LOVED MY DAD. "I LOVED MY MOM, BUT 01:22:52.086 --> 01:22:58.176 THEY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT ME." WE DON'T THINK SOMETIMES WHEN WE 01:22:58.176 --> 01:23:01.565 LIVE A LIFE OF DISHONOR, WE GET OUT OF LOVE, HOW IT AFFECTS 01:23:01.565 --> 01:23:05.676 OTHER PEOPLE. WHEN WE DECIDE TO BREAK A COMMANDMENT AND COMMIT 01:23:05.676 --> 01:23:10.865 ADULTERY, WE DON'T REALIZE WE GOT OUT OF LOVE, WE GOT OUT OF 01:23:10.865 --> 01:23:15.185 HONOR. WE DON'T REALIZE WHAT WE DO TO OUR KIDS WHEN WE DECIDE 01:23:15.185 --> 01:23:20.023 THAT IT'S OKAY FOR US TO ARGUE IN THEIR PRESENCE AND FIGHT, AND 01:23:20.023 --> 01:23:24.845 THEN GOD FORBID, GO SEPARATE WAYS OR END THE WHOLE MARRIAGE 01:23:24.845 --> 01:23:29.466 AND WHAT IT DOES TO CHILDREN, WHAT IT DOES TO SOCIETY WHEN WE 01:23:29.466 --> 01:23:35.466 AREN'T NICE TO PEOPLE, WHEN WE'RE NOT KIND. I HAD A RELATIVE 01:23:35.466 --> 01:23:39.996 THAT HAD PASSED A WHILE BACK AND I WAS JUST WANTING TO FIND OUT 01:23:39.996 --> 01:23:42.966 INFORMATION. I SAID, WELL, WHAT ARE THEY PLANNING? ARE THEY 01:23:42.966 --> 01:23:46.506 HOLDING A MEMORIAL? ARE THEY HOLDING A SERVICE? AND THE 01:23:46.506 --> 01:23:56.765 ANSWER WAS, NOBODY LIKED THEM. WELL, WHY? DO WE REALLY WANT 01:23:56.765 --> 01:24:02.345 THAT TO BE SAID ABOUT OUR LIVES, THAT WE ARE PEOPLE THAT COULD 01:24:02.345 --> 01:24:07.746 NOT WALK IN LOVE? WE COULDN'T WALK IN HONOR? YOU KNOW, 01:24:07.746 --> 01:24:13.565 SOMETIMES I'VE DONE THIS IN MY MARRIAGE. I WILL HONESTLY, WILL 01:24:13.565 --> 01:24:17.886 LOOK AT MY WIFE AND I WILL SAY TO MYSELF, SELF, AM I REALLY 01:24:17.886 --> 01:24:22.206 HONORING HER? AM I REALLY TREATING HER LIKE CHRIST TREATS 01:24:22.206 --> 01:24:28.115 THE CHURCH AND LOVES HER? AM I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY SHOWING 01:24:28.115 --> 01:24:31.055 THAT SIDE OF LOVE AND HONOR? AND I TELL YOU WHAT, I HAVE TO HIT 01:24:31.055 --> 01:24:34.716 MYSELF SOMETIMES BECAUSE I'M A STUBBORN PERSON. I'M AN 01:24:34.716 --> 01:24:39.605 INDIGNANT MAN. I LIKE TO HAVE MY OWN WAY. BUT WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL 01:24:39.605 --> 01:24:44.886 MARRIAGE BECAUSE WE WORK VERY HARD TO MAINTAIN HONOR. PEACE IS 01:24:44.886 --> 01:24:50.826 HONORABLE. LOVE IS HONORABLE. AVOIDING STRIFE AND DIVISION IS 01:24:50.826 --> 01:24:55.416 HONORABLE. WALKING IN LOVE. JESUS SAID IF YOU DO THAT, IT 01:24:55.416 --> 01:25:01.355 WON'T FAIL. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHY WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, HAVE TO 01:25:01.355 --> 01:25:05.496 BE BROUGHT THROUGH ALL THE DRAMA OF OUR POLITICIANS, OF A 01:25:05.496 --> 01:25:09.036 GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN? WHAT IF THEY WOULD HAVE JUST LOVED THEIR 01:25:09.036 --> 01:25:13.865 COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE THAT THEY REPRESENT? WHAT IF THEY REALLY 01:25:13.865 --> 01:25:18.515 HONORED YOU THAT VOTED FOR THEM AND SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT? "WE 01:25:18.515 --> 01:25:22.115 AREN'T GONNA SHUT THIS THING DOWN. "IF WE HAVE TO STAY HERE 01:25:22.115 --> 01:25:25.775 AND NOT GET PAID "AND NOT HAVE TO GO AND HAVE VACATIONS," THEY 01:25:25.775 --> 01:25:28.836 ALL DID IT, WHICHEVER SIDE IT WAS, REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT. 01:25:28.836 --> 01:25:31.775 THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ON VACATION. NO, GET YOUR BUTT 01:25:31.775 --> 01:25:35.136 THERE, AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU GOTTA SEND A TENT UP IN YOUR 01:25:35.136 --> 01:25:42.006 OFFICE. WE WANT LOVE AND WE WANT HONOR. WE WANT TO BE TREATED 01:25:42.006 --> 01:25:46.086 FAIRLY. SO THIS IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT. JESUS SAID, "YOU 01:25:46.086 --> 01:25:50.256 SHOULD LOVE GOD, HONOR GOD "WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR 01:25:50.256 --> 01:25:53.136 SOUL, AND ALL YOUR MIND." NOW WATCH THIS, NOTICE WHAT HE SAID, 01:25:53.136 --> 01:25:56.136 THE SECOND COMMANDMENT. HE DIDN'T STOP THERE, HE SAID, AND 01:25:56.136 --> 01:26:01.055 THE SECOND IS, LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR OR HONOR OTHERS AS YOU 01:26:01.055 --> 01:26:05.046 HONOR YOURSELF. OKAY, WE PAMPER OURSELVES, WE HAVE TO GET 01:26:05.046 --> 01:26:08.646 PHOTOGRAPHS OF OURSELVES, OUR SELFIES, WE HAVE TO PUT A CAMERA 01:26:08.646 --> 01:26:12.185 IN FRONT OF US SO THAT WE LET EVERYBODY KNOW HOW SMART WE ARE, 01:26:12.185 --> 01:26:15.786 HOW WISE WE ARE, AND HOW WE GOT THE LATEST REVELATION RIGHT. 01:26:15.786 --> 01:26:19.626 MAN, IF WE WOULD JUST TREAT PEOPLE THE SAME WAY THAT WE 01:26:19.626 --> 01:26:23.197 TREAT OURSELVES, IT'D BE A BETTER WORLD. BECAUSE LOVE AND 01:26:23.197 --> 01:26:26.015 HONOR ARE THE FOUNDATION. AND YOU KNOW, AS I WAS SHARING THIS, 01:26:26.015 --> 01:26:29.315 ALL OF A SUDDEN I REMEMBER WHERE JESUS SAID THIS, IN ANOTHER 01:26:29.315 --> 01:26:33.487 EXAMPLE, HE SAID THIS, AND I THINK IT'S IN VERSE 40, HE SAID, 01:26:33.487 --> 01:26:37.206 "UPON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS "IS ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS 01:26:37.206 --> 01:26:40.506 FULFILLED." AND I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS, WAIT A MINUTE, WHY DID HE 01:26:40.506 --> 01:26:43.595 MENTION THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS? WELL, THE LAW WAS 01:26:43.595 --> 01:26:48.905 MEANT FOR MANKIND. THAT WAS WHAT YOU CALL A HORIZONTAL THING, HOW 01:26:48.905 --> 01:26:53.076 YOU TREAT ONE ANOTHER HORIZONTALLY. BUT THEN THE 01:26:53.076 --> 01:26:58.565 PROPHETS WERE COMING VERTICALLY WITH A MESSAGE FROM GOD. NOW, 01:26:58.565 --> 01:27:02.166 WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CROSS, WHAT DO YOU SEE? VERTICAL, AND YOU 01:27:02.166 --> 01:27:07.655 SEE HORIZONTAL. AND SO HE'S SAYING THE TWO COMMANDMENTS 01:27:07.655 --> 01:27:11.765 REALLY ARE FULFILLED IN THE CROSS, AND IT WAS REVEALED BY 01:27:11.765 --> 01:27:16.115 THE LAW, WHICH WAS THE VERTICAL SIDE OF THE CROSS, HOW YOU TREAT 01:27:16.115 --> 01:27:19.326 ONE ANOTHER. THAT'S WHY JESUS ON THE CROSS COULD SAY THE WORDS, 01:27:19.326 --> 01:27:22.086 FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY DO. HE WAS 01:27:22.086 --> 01:27:25.775 DOING THE VERTICAL THING. HE THEN WENT UP TO HIS FATHER AND 01:27:25.775 --> 01:27:29.826 SAID, FATHER, IT IS FINISHED. HE WAS DOING THE VERTICAL THING, 01:27:29.826 --> 01:27:32.737 AND THEN THE HORIZONTAL WAS FORGIVE THEM. HE WAS MAKING THE 01:27:32.737 --> 01:27:35.615 SIGN OF THE CROSS. AGAIN, THE PROPHETS WERE BRINGING THE 01:27:35.615 --> 01:27:40.055 MESSAGE FROM GOD, THAT'S THAT POST, AND THEN THE HORIZONTAL 01:27:40.055 --> 01:27:43.895 WAS HOW YOU TREAT ONE ANOTHER IN THE LAW, AND EVEN HOW YOU 01:27:43.895 --> 01:27:49.176 TREATED GOD. BUT THINK ABOUT THE TWO COMMANDMENTS. LOVING GOD, 01:27:49.176 --> 01:27:53.046 HONORING GOD, THE FIRST PART OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS. IN FACT, 01:27:53.046 --> 01:27:56.197 PUT 'EM UP, IT SHOWS YOU THE CROSS, IT SHOWS YOU THIS 01:27:56.197 --> 01:27:59.737 PRINCIPLE. IN THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, THOU SHALL HONOR 01:27:59.737 --> 01:28:03.515 GOD, THOU SHALL LOVE GOD, AND HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE HIM. 01:28:03.515 --> 01:28:07.326 NOT SPORTS, SOMETIMES I GET TIRED OF TALKING ABOUT SPORTS, 01:28:07.326 --> 01:28:10.115 I'M GONNA BE HONEST WITH YOU, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A WASTE OF 01:28:10.115 --> 01:28:15.426 TIME. NOT ALL THE TIME, BUT IT IS. IF I TALK ABOUT SPORTS AND 01:28:15.426 --> 01:28:20.496 MY TEAM AND MY HOBBY, TRAINS AND ALL THAT, MORE THAN I DO GOD, 01:28:20.496 --> 01:28:23.197 THEN THERE'S A PROBLEM. THEN I GET INTO THE NEXT ONE. THOU 01:28:23.197 --> 01:28:25.987 SHALL HAVE NO OTHER IDOLS, THOU SHALL HAVE NO GRAY MID IMAGES. 01:28:25.987 --> 01:28:29.435 SOMETIMES TAKE A BREAK, TAKE A BREATH, ALL RIGHT? THE THINGS OF 01:28:29.435 --> 01:28:32.345 THIS WORLD ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT, WHETHER IT BE CARS, 01:28:32.345 --> 01:28:35.256 WHETHER IT BE DECORATIONS, WHETHER IT BE FISH, WHETHER IT 01:28:35.256 --> 01:28:40.086 BE MEN, WHETHER IT BE GIRLS, WHETHER IT BE SPORTS. IT'S NOT 01:28:40.086 --> 01:28:44.105 AS IMPORTANT AS GOD. AND IF MOST OF WHAT COMES OUT OF OUR MOUTH 01:28:44.105 --> 01:28:46.716 OR OUT OF OUR HEART IS EVERYTHING ELSE, THEN WE ARE 01:28:46.716 --> 01:28:49.206 BREAKING THE FIRST AND SECOND COMMANDMENTS. SO ARE YOU 01:28:49.206 --> 01:28:52.895 LISTENING, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING? BUT NOTICE IT SAYS, 01:28:52.895 --> 01:28:56.496 "THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS. THOU SHALT NOT MAKE ANY IMAGES, 01:28:56.496 --> 01:29:00.155 AND THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD IN VAIN." THE 01:29:00.155 --> 01:29:05.076 FIRST PART OF THE COMMANDMENTS IS THAT VERTICAL PIECE OF THE 01:29:05.076 --> 01:29:09.456 CROSS, YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, AND HOW YOU LOVE HIM AND 01:29:09.456 --> 01:29:14.916 HOW YOU HONOR HIM. AND THEN NOW NOTICE THE VERTICAL SIDE OF THE 01:29:14.916 --> 01:29:18.487 CROSS. THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS, IT'S FULFILLED. WHEN JESUS WAS 01:29:18.487 --> 01:29:20.405 TALKING ABOUT THE TWO COMMANDMENTS, HE WAS TALKING 01:29:20.405 --> 01:29:24.426 ABOUT THE CROSS. AND WHEN JESUS CAME TO BE FULFILLED, YOU HAVE 01:29:24.426 --> 01:29:28.355 ACCESS TO GOD. NOW HONOR HIM, LOVE HIM. AND YOU HAVE NOW 01:29:28.355 --> 01:29:31.895 ACCESS TO PEOPLE THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE 01:29:31.895 --> 01:29:36.576 LOVE OF GOD, THE HONOR OF GOD WHO FLOWS IN YOU AND THROUGH YOU 01:29:36.576 --> 01:29:39.546 TO OTHERS THAT MAKES THE CROSS. THAT'S WHY YOU'LL NEVER COMMIT 01:29:39.546 --> 01:29:44.405 ADULTERY. THAT'S WHY YOU'LL NEVER STEAL. THAT'S WHY YOU'LL 01:29:44.405 --> 01:29:48.786 NEVER MURDER. OH, WELL, I WOULD NEVER KILL ANYBODY. WAIT A 01:29:48.786 --> 01:29:52.725 MINUTE, JESUS SAID IF YOU HATE YOUR BROTHER, YOU'RE A MURDERER. 01:29:52.725 --> 01:29:56.046 SO IF YOU GOT SOME OUGHT AGAINST SOME OTHER CHRISTIAN IN ANOTHER 01:29:56.046 --> 01:30:02.345 CHURCH OR SOME OTHER PASTOR, IT'S A FORM OF MURDER. WELL, I 01:30:02.345 --> 01:30:05.975 WOULD NEVER COMMIT ADULTERY. HEY, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR 01:30:05.975 --> 01:30:13.805 SECRETARY, MALE OR FEMALE, OR THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, JESUS SAID 01:30:13.805 --> 01:30:19.926 IF YOU LUST AFTER THAT PERSON, IN YOUR HEART, YOU'VE ALREADY 01:30:19.926 --> 01:30:27.996 TOOK THAT PERSON TO BED. YOU ALREADY BROKE IT. SO WE HAVE TO 01:30:27.996 --> 01:30:34.265 COME BACK TO THE CROSS. MY HONOR AND LOVE TO YOU, GOD, IS NOT TO 01:30:34.265 --> 01:30:40.595 SIN AGAINST YOU, TO HONOR YOU, NOT TO MAKE MY CONDUCT, MY 01:30:40.595 --> 01:30:46.475 SPEECH, MY ATTENTION, MY HOBBIES, MY HABITS, NOTHING IS 01:30:46.475 --> 01:30:51.095 MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU, GOD. I WON'T MAKE AN IDOL. I WON'T HAVE 01:30:51.095 --> 01:31:02.645 ANY GRAVEN IMAGES. HE SAID THESE ARE THE FIRST TWO COMMANDMENTS, 01:31:02.645 --> 01:31:06.902 LOVE AND HONOR. HOW MANY UNDERSTANDING IT? NOW LET'S GO 01:31:06.902 --> 01:31:12.662 ON. LOVE AND HONOR IS IMPORTANT. LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS. HOW 01:31:12.662 --> 01:31:18.242 IMPORTANT IS HONOR? I WANT TO JUST SHOW YOU A COUPLE THINGS 01:31:18.242 --> 01:31:23.402 AND THEN I WANNA TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHAT I FEEL LIKE IS AT WAR 01:31:23.402 --> 01:31:28.112 WITH US. FIRST OF ALL, AND I'VE SHARED SOME OF THIS BEFORE, BUT 01:31:28.112 --> 01:31:32.011 I WENT AND I LOOKED AT THE WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY OF HONOR 01:31:32.011 --> 01:31:36.242 AND I WENT BACK AS FAR AS I COULD TO SEE WHAT THE DEFINITION 01:31:36.242 --> 01:31:40.742 OF HONOR WAS. AND YOU KNOW, THE FARTHER THAT YOU WENT BACK, 10 01:31:40.742 --> 01:31:45.692 YEARS, 20 YEARS, 30 YEARS, 40 YEARS, 50 YEARS, THE DEFINITION 01:31:45.692 --> 01:31:52.381 OF HONOR WAS LONG. YOU GO TO THE NEW DEFINITIONS OUT OF THE 01:31:52.381 --> 01:31:57.601 WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND IT'S LIKE ONE SENTENCE. AND YOU CAN SEE 01:31:57.601 --> 01:32:05.431 THAT NOT ONLY HAS HONOR DECLINED, BUT SO HAS THE 01:32:05.431 --> 01:32:09.931 DEFINITION. MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HONOR IS. I MEAN, 01:32:09.931 --> 01:32:12.752 I HEAR PEOPLE WHEN THEY REFER TO THEIR PARENTS, WELL, MY OLD MAN, 01:32:12.752 --> 01:32:19.622 MY OLD LADY, IF IT'S THEIR WIFE. YEAH, IT'S MY OLD LADY. I KNOW 01:32:19.622 --> 01:32:26.042 KIDS THAT DISHONOR THEIR MOM AND DAD, BACKTALK THEM, SCREAM AT 01:32:26.042 --> 01:32:35.387 THEM, YELL AT THEM. COUPLES THAT FIGHT LIKE CATS AND DOGS. 01:32:35.387 --> 01:32:38.402 CHRISTIANS THAT FIGHT LIKE CATS AND DOGS. JUST LOOK AT SOCIAL 01:32:38.402 --> 01:32:41.492 MEDIA. IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING MISSING. IT'S CALLED 01:32:41.492 --> 01:32:47.262 LOVE AND HONOR. NOW HOW IMPORTANT IS HONOR? HONOR IS 01:32:47.262 --> 01:32:50.462 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. AND I TOLD YOU THAT THE FIRST SIN THAT WAS 01:32:50.462 --> 01:32:54.481 EVER COMMITTED, WE'VE OFTEN SAID IT, YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY IT, 01:32:54.481 --> 01:32:59.641 PEOPLE THINK THAT IT'S PRIDE. OH, LUCIFER HAD PRIDE. LUCIFER 01:32:59.641 --> 01:33:04.171 HAD SELFISH AMBITION. HE WANTED TO BE GOD. NO, LOOK AT ISAIAH 01:33:04.171 --> 01:33:08.252 CHAPTER 14, VERSE 13. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. IT REVEALS 01:33:08.252 --> 01:33:13.412 SOMETHING, AND IT REVEALS THE VERY PLACE THAT THE FIRST SIN, 01:33:13.412 --> 01:33:17.042 WHICH WAS CALLED INIQUITY, THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE SAYS, 01:33:17.042 --> 01:33:21.122 "DEPART FROM ME, YOU WORKER OF INIQUITY," JESUS SAID, "I NEVER 01:33:21.122 --> 01:33:23.971 KNEW YOU." WHY DID HE SAY, HE DIDN'T SAY, "DEPART FROM ME, YOU 01:33:23.971 --> 01:33:27.992 SINNER." HE SAID, "DEPART FROM ME, YOU WORKER OF INIQUITY." 01:33:27.992 --> 01:33:31.681 YOU'RE WORKING AT INIQUITY. THE WORD INIQUITY, THE DEFINITION IS 01:33:31.681 --> 01:33:37.202 PURPOSEFUL SIN. YOU WORK AT PURPOSEFULLY LOVING SIN AND 01:33:37.202 --> 01:33:41.221 DOING WHAT'S WRONG AND COMPROMISING MORE THAN YOU LOVE, 01:33:41.221 --> 01:33:45.902 PLEASING GOD AND HONORING HIM. WHEN JESUS WALKED IN, CARRYING 01:33:45.902 --> 01:33:50.372 HIS OWN BLOOD THAT HE JUST GOT DONE ON THE MOST BRUTAL, BRUTAL, 01:33:50.372 --> 01:33:57.721 BRUTAL, BRUTAL, BRUTAL, BRUTAL DEATH EVER KNOWN AMONG MAN. HE'S 01:33:57.721 --> 01:34:03.092 CARRYING HIS OWN BLOOD. I CAN SEE THE FATHER JUST SMILING, AND 01:34:03.092 --> 01:34:08.342 THE FATHER'S EYES JUST FILLED WITH SO MUCH HONOR TO JESUS AS 01:34:08.342 --> 01:34:12.122 JESUS IS WALKING IN. THE FATHER LOOKS AT HIM AND HE SAYS, "YOU 01:34:12.122 --> 01:34:17.252 ARE MY SON." AND THEN THE FATHER LOOKS AT JESUS CARRYING HIS 01:34:17.252 --> 01:34:23.731 BLOOD AND SAYS, "YOU ARE GOD." AND THEN HE LOOKS AT HIM AS A 01:34:23.731 --> 01:34:30.572 VERY, VERY PLEASED FATHER. AND HE SAYS, "SON, YOU LOVE 01:34:30.572 --> 01:34:35.671 RIGHTEOUSNESS. "YOU LOVE DOING WHAT'S RIGHT. "YOU HONOR ME AND 01:34:35.671 --> 01:34:41.492 YOU HONOR OTHERS. "AND YOU HATE INIQUITY, PURPOSEFUL SIN. "YOU 01:34:41.492 --> 01:34:45.902 NEVER WORKED AT IT. YOU NEVER WENT DOWN THAT ROAD, YESHUA, AND 01:34:45.902 --> 01:34:56.192 I HONOR YOU." LOOK AT ISAIAH 14, VERSE 13, TALKING ABOUT SATAN, 01:34:56.192 --> 01:35:01.981 LUCIFER. "FOR YOU SAID IN YOUR HEART," NOTICE IT STARTED IN THE 01:35:01.981 --> 01:35:05.372 HEART. WHERE DOES HONOR START? JESUS SAID, "YOU HONOR ME WITH 01:35:05.372 --> 01:35:10.921 YOUR LIPS, "BUT YOUR HEART IS FAR AWAY." LUCIFER, HE WAS 01:35:10.921 --> 01:35:15.811 THINKING SO MANY TIMES IN HIS HEART, AND HE STARTS REVEALING, 01:35:15.811 --> 01:35:18.931 OH, I'M GONNA EXALT MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS OF GOD. THAT 01:35:18.931 --> 01:35:23.521 RIGHT THERE, YEAH, THAT MIGHT BE PRIDE, BUT THINK ABOUT IT. IF 01:35:23.521 --> 01:35:27.181 YOU HONORED GOD IN YOUR HEART, WOULD YOU REALLY WANNA EXALT 01:35:27.181 --> 01:35:32.431 YOURSELF ABOVE HIM? WOULD YOU REALLY WANT TO EXALT YOURSELF 01:35:32.431 --> 01:35:35.731 WHERE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN GRANTED? JESUS TELLS THIS STORY IN LUKE 01:35:35.731 --> 01:35:39.872 14, AND I WATCH MINISTERS DO THIS. OH, DO I WATCH MINISTERS 01:35:39.872 --> 01:35:44.612 DO THIS. JESUS TELLS A STORY AND HE SAYS, THIS IS WHY I DON'T 01:35:44.612 --> 01:35:48.992 CARE ABOUT TITLES. NOW, AS A PASTOR, I DO. YOU SHOULD CALL ME 01:35:48.992 --> 01:35:52.532 PASTOR HANK SO THAT THAT GRACE WORKS FOR YOU. BUT AS FAR AS THE 01:35:52.532 --> 01:35:57.122 PROPHETIC GRACE, I DON'T CARE IF YOU THINK I'M A TRUE OR WHATEVER 01:35:57.122 --> 01:36:01.381 PROPHETIC VESSEL. I DON'T EVEN WANNA GO AROUND CALLING MYSELF 01:36:01.381 --> 01:36:07.412 THAT. BECAUSE HERE'S THE THING, WE SOMETIMES ARE SO CAUGHT UP IN 01:36:07.412 --> 01:36:10.952 POSITION. PEOPLE, THEY SCRATCH, THEY FIGHT. COME ON, MOST 01:36:10.952 --> 01:36:15.002 POLITICIANS, THEY SLEEP THEIR WAY TO THE TOP. THEY SCRATCH, 01:36:15.002 --> 01:36:18.181 THEY FIGHT. I WATCH IT IN THE BUSINESS WORLD. SOMETIMES IT'S 01:36:18.181 --> 01:36:23.761 NOT HOW QUALIFIED YOU ARE, IT'S HOW LOOSE. HOW MUCH SEXUAL 01:36:23.761 --> 01:36:30.152 MISCONDUCT DO YOU WANT TO BE TO GET YOUR WAY, SLEEP YOUR WAY TO 01:36:30.152 --> 01:36:34.891 THE TOP, REALLY? BUT JESUS TELLS A STORY, HE SAYS, "DON'T YOU 01:36:34.891 --> 01:36:45.542 DARE GO SEAT YOURSELF AT THE FRONT SEAT "OF A TABLE IF YOU 01:36:45.542 --> 01:36:51.061 WEREN'T SEATED THERE BY THE HOST." IF GOD HASN'T CALLED YOU 01:36:51.061 --> 01:36:54.931 TO BE A PASTOR, DON'T YOU GO OUT AND START ONE. IF GOD HASN'T 01:36:54.931 --> 01:36:59.192 CALLED YOU TO GO TO ANOTHER CHURCH, DON'T YOU DARE PLUCK 01:36:59.192 --> 01:37:01.712 YOURSELF UP AND SAY, "WELL, I'M GONNA GO TO ANOTHER CHURCH 01:37:01.712 --> 01:37:05.671 "BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LIKE SOMETHING. "YOU DON'T AGREE WITH 01:37:05.671 --> 01:37:08.551 SOMETHING." MAN, YOU'RE GONNA GET INTO WHAT'S CALLED THE 01:37:08.551 --> 01:37:14.971 CHURCH ROTATION. IT'S CALLED THE REVOLVING DOOR. AND YOU'LL MESS 01:37:14.971 --> 01:37:18.511 WITH YOUR LIFESPAN BECAUSE THE BOOK OF PSALMS SAYS, "THOSE THAT 01:37:18.511 --> 01:37:22.412 BE PLANTED IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD "SHALL BEAR FRUIT IN AN OLD 01:37:22.412 --> 01:37:27.511 AGE." BUT DON'T GO SITTING YOURSELF, TIDYING YOURSELF. 01:37:27.511 --> 01:37:32.671 DON'T, YOU KNOW, AT YOUR JOB, TRY TO MANIPULATE YOUR WAY SO 01:37:32.671 --> 01:37:37.292 THAT THE BOSS MAKES YOU SECOND IN COMMAND OR MANAGER OR 01:37:37.292 --> 01:37:41.279 SUPERVISOR OR WHATEVER. I REMEMBER ONE TIME, NOW I'M GONNA 01:37:41.279 --> 01:37:43.891 TELL A DUMB STORY, BUT I REMEMBER BENNY HINN WAS 01:37:43.891 --> 01:37:47.671 PREACHING DOWN AT THE RED LION INN IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA, AND I 01:37:47.671 --> 01:37:54.662 WAS 20 YEARS OF AGE, I THINK I WAS, AND I WAS SINGLE, I DIDN'T 01:37:54.662 --> 01:37:59.101 KNOW BRENDA YET, I HADN'T YET SAID, "WHOA, MAN," 'CAUSE THAT'S 01:37:59.101 --> 01:38:03.355 HOW WOMEN GOT THEIR NAME. WHEN EVE WALKED IN, SHE WASN'T 01:38:03.355 --> 01:38:11.731 WEARING NOTHING. ADAM SAID, "WHOA, MAN!" YEAH, AND SO I 01:38:11.731 --> 01:38:15.842 HADN'T SAID, "WHOA, MAN," BRENDA HADN'T ARRIVED, SO I WAS LOOKING 01:38:15.842 --> 01:38:20.671 FOR A SEAT, AND THERE WAS NO SEATS, BUT I DID NOTICE THERE 01:38:20.671 --> 01:38:28.574 WAS A SEAT UP FRONT. YEAH, RIGHT WHERE BENNY HINN COULD SEE ME. 01:38:28.574 --> 01:38:33.992 AND RIGHT NEXT TO THE OPEN SEAT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, BLONDE, 01:38:33.992 --> 01:38:39.481 CURLY HAIR I HAD EVER SEEN A WOMAN WEAR. NOW YOU GOTTA 01:38:39.481 --> 01:38:46.442 REMEMBER, THIS IS 38 YEARS AGO. THINGS HAVE CHANGED, YOU'LL HEAR 01:38:46.442 --> 01:38:51.752 WHY. SO I TOLD MY FRIEND THAT I WAS WITH, THEY SAID, "WELL, I'LL 01:38:51.752 --> 01:38:54.631 JUST SIT BACK HERE." I SAID, "NO, I'M GONNA SIT NEXT "TO THAT 01:38:54.631 --> 01:38:58.502 BEAUTIFUL BLONDE UP THERE." SO I WENT MARCHING, I HAD MY GEORGE 01:38:58.502 --> 01:39:08.792 JEFFERSON WALK. I MEAN, YOU COULD JUST SEE ME SLIDING. AND I 01:39:08.792 --> 01:39:15.061 GETS ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT, NEXT TO THE BEAUTIFUL BLONDE. I 01:39:15.061 --> 01:39:24.811 WENT LIKE THIS, "HELLO, IS THIS SEAT TAKEN?" "YES, MY WIFE IS 01:39:24.811 --> 01:39:36.902 SITTING HERE." THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT. IT LOOKED LIKE 01:39:36.902 --> 01:39:45.391 BARRY GIBB FROM THE BEE GEES. NOW TODAY, YOU MIGHT HEAR, "OH 01:39:45.391 --> 01:39:49.471 YES, THE SEAT IS OPEN. I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE SUCH AS 01:39:49.471 --> 01:39:57.511 YOU." SOME DUDE WITH THE BEARD AND BEAUTIFUL GIRL HAIR, BUT IN 01:39:57.511 --> 01:40:02.851 THOSE DAYS, HONORABLE DAYS, IT WAS A MAN WHO WAS MARRIED, BUT 01:40:02.851 --> 01:40:06.122 FROM THE BACK, HE LOOKED LIKE A GIRL'S HAIR. NOT BECAUSE HE WAS 01:40:06.122 --> 01:40:15.931 TRYING TO. IT WAS JUST THE '80S. DID Y'ALL GET THAT? AND AFTER I 01:40:15.931 --> 01:40:22.622 DID THIS, I HAD TO WALK BACK WITH EVERYBODY LOOKING AT ME 01:40:22.622 --> 01:40:25.351 'CAUSE THEY COULD TELL BY THE WAY I STRUTTED UP THERE. I MEAN, 01:40:25.351 --> 01:40:29.551 I COULD HEAR THE BEE GEES SONG. I'M GONNA STAY ALIVE, STAY 01:40:29.551 --> 01:40:33.872 ALIVE, AH, AH, AH, AH. I'M GONNA GET THAT GIRL'S NUMBER. I'M 01:40:33.872 --> 01:40:36.782 GONNA GET THAT GIRL'S NUMBER. I'M GONNA STAY ALIVE, I'M GONNA 01:40:36.782 --> 01:40:43.377 STAY ALIVE. AND I GOT MOVED. HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK. 01:40:43.381 --> 01:40:49.351 BUT I THANK GOD THAT HAPPENED. WHAT, YOU'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING 01:40:49.351 --> 01:40:58.225 STUPID LIKE THAT IN YOUR LIFE? DON'T SAY NO, NOW I FEEL WORSE. 01:40:58.225 --> 01:41:05.521 WHAT WAS MY POINT? DON'T LIVE A LIFE, DON'T SEAT YOURSELF, DON'T 01:41:05.521 --> 01:41:12.108 TRY TO PROMOTE YOURSELF. LET GOD PROMOTE YOU. LET GOD HONOR YOU 01:41:12.108 --> 01:41:15.257 AS YOU HONOR HIM. LET'S TALK SOME MORE ABOUT HONOR. AND I'M 01:41:15.257 --> 01:41:17.148 JUST GONNA GIVE YOU THE REFERENCES. HOW IMPORTANT IS 01:41:17.148 --> 01:41:19.997 HONOR? JESUS SAYS HE'S HANGING ON THE CROSS OF ALL THE THINGS 01:41:19.997 --> 01:41:23.688 THAT HE COULD THINK OF, RIGHT? HE LOOKS DOWN AT JOHN, THE 01:41:23.688 --> 01:41:29.148 BELOVED. HE'S THE ONLY DISCIPLE THAT DIDN'T LEAVE, RIGHT? ALL 01:41:29.148 --> 01:41:32.327 THE OTHER ONES LEFT. AND JESUS SAYS, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW WE 01:41:32.327 --> 01:41:36.257 COULD LOOK AS HIS EYES HAD BEEN PUNCHED AND BRUISED AND BLOODY 01:41:36.257 --> 01:41:39.136 AND THE BLOOD'S COMING IN HIS EYES AND THE SWEAT AND HE'S 01:41:39.136 --> 01:41:44.207 TRYING TO LOOK OUT OF HIS EYES AND HE LOOKS DOWN AND FOR HIM TO 01:41:44.207 --> 01:41:48.226 BE ABLE TO SPEAK, BECAUSE CRUCIFIXION WOULD SUFFOCATE YOU, 01:41:48.226 --> 01:41:52.818 YOU WOULD STRUGGLE FOR BREATH. AND HE LOOKED DOWN AND HE SAID, 01:41:52.818 --> 01:41:57.307 HE SAID, "WOMAN," SPEAKING TO HIS MOTHER, "WOMAN, LOOK NEXT TO 01:41:57.307 --> 01:42:04.577 YOU, YOUR SON. "JOHN, LOOK AT THIS WOMAN, THIS IS YOUR 01:42:04.577 --> 01:42:08.148 MOTHER." NOW THAT IS AN HONORABLE THING, TO MAKE SURE 01:42:08.148 --> 01:42:12.407 THAT YOUR MAMA, WHICH I HAVE DONE FOR MY MOM AND MY 01:42:12.407 --> 01:42:18.137 MOTHER-IN-LAW, MAKE SURE THEY'RE TAKEN CARE OF. YOU HAVE TO. 01:42:18.137 --> 01:42:22.426 THAT'S YOUR HONORABLE THING. THE SECOND EXAMPLE WE SEE IS, OKAY, 01:42:22.426 --> 01:42:28.007 WHO'S GONNA GET JESUS'S BODY? WHO'S GONNA BE ABLE TO? BY THE 01:42:28.007 --> 01:42:31.818 WAY, I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THE SHROUD OF TURAN, AND I DON'T 01:42:31.818 --> 01:42:35.867 CARE WHAT YOU SAY, I HAVE A FEELING THAT'S THE LORD. AND 01:42:35.867 --> 01:42:39.467 WHEN THEY DID SOME 3D IMAGING OF IT, SOMEBODY SAID TO ME, 01:42:39.467 --> 01:42:42.346 "PASTOR, YOU'VE SEEN THE LORD." I SAID, "THAT IS PRETTY CLOSE, 01:42:42.346 --> 01:42:45.197 "EXCEPT WHEN THE LORD APPEARED TO ME, "I'VE SEEN HIM MORE THAN 01:42:45.197 --> 01:42:50.087 ONCE, HE'S HAD BLUE EYES." "I KNOW, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE HE 01:42:50.087 --> 01:42:53.537 DID." BUT I SAID, "AND THERE'S A FEW OF HIS FEATURES ON HIS FACE 01:42:53.537 --> 01:42:56.778 "THAT'S JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN HIS CHEEK AND HIS BONES, "BUT 01:42:56.778 --> 01:42:58.757 HIS HAIR COLOR IS SIMILAR." I SAID, "THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE. 01:42:58.757 --> 01:43:05.351 "THAT IS VERY CLOSE TO THE LORD AND WHAT I'VE SEEN OF HIM." THEY 01:43:05.351 --> 01:43:09.047 STILL CAN'T PROVE IT WRONG, RIGHT? AND THEN THEY SAY, "WELL, 01:43:09.047 --> 01:43:11.627 BUT JESUS HAD A FACE COVERING." WELL, THERE'S ALSO THE SHROUD, 01:43:11.627 --> 01:43:15.346 ANOTHER SHROUD THAT MATCHES IT, AND THE BLOOD FROM THAT MATCHES 01:43:15.346 --> 01:43:18.407 THE VERY ONE I'M TRYING. AND I'M NOT TRYING TO CREATE, YOU KNOW, 01:43:18.407 --> 01:43:21.587 I JUST FIND IT FASCINATING, I LOVE IT. I JUST LIKE TO LOOK AT 01:43:21.587 --> 01:43:25.306 IT, IT KEEPS ME THINKING ABOUT MY LORD. AND THEN IT TELLS ME, 01:43:25.306 --> 01:43:29.507 YOU KNOW, JESUS, I WANNA SEE YOU AGAIN, COME, COME AND, I'LL GIVE 01:43:29.507 --> 01:43:34.188 YOU THE BIGGEST KISS IF YOU COME. AND THEN I'D EVEN HOLD 01:43:34.188 --> 01:43:39.407 YOU, AND I WOULDN'T LET GO. SO IT GIVES ME A REASON TO KINDA, 01:43:39.407 --> 01:43:42.617 YOU KNOW, WORK ON HIM TO COME AND SEE ME AGAIN. BUT HERE'S THE 01:43:42.617 --> 01:43:45.797 POINT. THE POINT IS I SERVE HIM BY FAITH AND BLESSED ARE THOSE 01:43:45.797 --> 01:43:48.438 THAT HAVE SEEN NOT YET THEY BELIEVE. RIGHT? BUT HERE'S THE 01:43:48.438 --> 01:43:56.358 POINT. JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA, AN HONORABLE MAN, JESUS GAVE HIS 01:43:56.358 --> 01:44:02.148 OWN BODY TO. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? WHO DID HE TRUST HIS BODY 01:44:02.148 --> 01:44:05.867 TO? NOW, WHAT ARE WE CALLED? WE'RE CALLED THE BODY OF CHRIST. 01:44:05.867 --> 01:44:12.108 THAT'S WHY WHEN WE MISTREAT ONE ANOTHER, IT'S NOT SMART. YOU 01:44:12.108 --> 01:44:18.377 KNOW, I WAS READING ONE DAY ABOUT MOSES, AND MOSES WAS 01:44:18.377 --> 01:44:22.516 CALLED THE FRIEND OF GOD. AND I'M WRITING THIS BOOK ABOUT HOW 01:44:22.516 --> 01:44:25.007 TO BECOME THE FRIEND OF GOD, AND I'M ON THE CHAPTER, I'M WORKING, 01:44:25.007 --> 01:44:29.778 PUTTING IT TOGETHER ABOUT MOSES. AND WHAT IS THE MOSES PRINCIPLE 01:44:29.778 --> 01:44:33.648 OF FRIENDSHIP? AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD GOT ON ME ONE DAY AND HE 01:44:33.648 --> 01:44:37.037 SAID, "I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT SOMETHING." HE SAID, "IT'S VERY 01:44:37.037 --> 01:44:40.457 IMPORTANT, HANK, IN FRIENDSHIP." AND I SAID, "WELL, WHAT IS 01:44:40.457 --> 01:44:45.797 THAT?" AND HE SAID, "GO AND LOOK AT JOSHUA CHAPTER 1.” AND I WAS 01:44:45.797 --> 01:44:48.167 LIKE, "OKAY." AND I WENT AND I LOOKED AT JOSHUA ONE AND I READ 01:44:48.167 --> 01:44:52.626 THE FIRST VERSE. IT'S, YOU KNOW WHAT GOD SAID? HE SAID, "JOSHUA, 01:44:52.626 --> 01:44:58.516 MY SERVANT, MOSES IS DEAD." HE SAID, "I DIDN'T CALL HIM MY 01:44:58.516 --> 01:45:02.898 FRIEND THERE. "I DIDN'T SAY MY FRIEND MOSES IS DEAD, I SAID MY 01:45:02.898 --> 01:45:06.318 SERVANT." AND HE SAID, "I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND "A PRINCIPLE 01:45:06.318 --> 01:45:10.726 OF FRIENDSHIP WITH ME." IT'S NOT WORKS, IT'S NOT WHAT MARY WAS 01:45:10.726 --> 01:45:14.476 TRYING TO DO TO IMPRESS JESUS WHEN HE CAME TO THE HOUSE OF 01:45:14.476 --> 01:45:18.047 LAZARUS, RIGHT? WAS IT MARTHA? NO, MARTHA WAS BUSY, WASN'T IT 01:45:18.047 --> 01:45:24.447 MARTHA? YEAH, MARTHA WAS BUSY, SORRY MARTHA, YEAH. ISN'T THERE 01:45:24.447 --> 01:45:28.813 A LADY THAT COOKS NAMED MARTHA? MARTHA STEWART, YEAH, WE DON'T 01:45:28.813 --> 01:45:30.648 WANNA TALK ABOUT HER. I DON'T THINK SHE'S A, I DON'T THINK 01:45:30.648 --> 01:45:35.417 SHE'S CONSERVATIVE OR ANYTHING. BUT ANYWAY, THE POINT IS, I 01:45:35.417 --> 01:45:37.636 DON'T WANNA WASTE MY TIME ON THAT STUFF, BUT THE POINT IS, 01:45:37.636 --> 01:45:40.757 YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING BUSY. JESUS SAID THE GREATEST IN 01:45:40.757 --> 01:45:43.488 THE KINGDOM IS THE SERVANT OF ALL. IT'S WHY THE BIBLE SAYS IN 01:45:43.488 --> 01:45:46.577 AMOS 3:7, "GOD DOES NOTHING IN THE EARTH UNLESS HE REVEALS HIS 01:45:46.577 --> 01:45:50.627 SECRETS "TO HIS FRIENDS, THE PROPHETS, HIS SERVANTS." THERE'S 01:45:50.627 --> 01:45:55.007 SOMETHING ABOUT YOU WANNA SERVE GOD SO MUCH AND HONOR HIM THAT 01:45:55.007 --> 01:45:57.556 YOU'RE WILLING TO LAY YOUR LIFE DOWN. HE SAID, "THAT'S WHAT I'M 01:45:57.556 --> 01:46:01.127 TALKING ABOUT, HANK, "IS THAT KIND OF SACRIFICE THAT MOSES WAS 01:46:01.127 --> 01:46:05.507 WILLING "TO TAKE OFF HIS SHOES AND SAY, OKAY, IT'S ON YOUR 01:46:05.507 --> 01:46:09.917 TERMS. "YOU'RE A HOLY GOD. "IF YOU WANT ME TO SAY THIS, YOU 01:46:09.917 --> 01:46:13.726 WANT ME TO DO THIS, "YOU WANT ME TO BE THIS, "YOU WANT ME TO BE 01:46:13.726 --> 01:46:16.608 CALLED TO MINISTRY." YOU KNOW, CAN I SAY THIS? FOR THOSE OF YOU 01:46:16.608 --> 01:46:20.327 THAT ARE CALLED IN THE MINISTRY, DON'T YOU EVER SAY TO GOD, "WHY 01:46:20.327 --> 01:46:24.886 DID YOU CALL ME?" I DID THAT EARLY ON AND I DON'T DO IT 01:46:24.886 --> 01:46:29.087 ANYMORE. ONE OF THE GREATEST, HIGHEST HONORS THAT YOU HAVE IF 01:46:29.087 --> 01:46:34.127 GOD CALLED YOU, FIRST OF ALL, AS A SERVANT, OR GIVES YOU A GIFT, 01:46:34.127 --> 01:46:36.858 WHATEVER IT IS, BUT IF YOU ARE CALLED TO A FIVEFOLD MINISTRY, 01:46:36.858 --> 01:46:41.087 LISTEN TO ME, EVERY ONE OF YOU PASTORS, IT IS AN HONOR TO SERVE 01:46:41.087 --> 01:46:44.688 GOD IN THE MINISTRY. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING ONLINE, IT 01:46:44.688 --> 01:46:48.947 IS AN HONOR. BUT HE CALLED HIM A SERVANT BECAUSE THERE'S 01:46:48.947 --> 01:46:53.148 SOMETHING ABOUT HAVING A SERVANT, HONORABLE HEART THAT 01:46:53.148 --> 01:46:57.947 POSITIONS YOU TO BE ENTRUSTED BY GOD WITH THE LEVEL OF INTIMATE 01:46:57.947 --> 01:47:01.011 FRIENDSHIP. THAT'S WHAT HE TAUGHT ME ON THAT ONE. ANYWAY, 01:47:01.011 --> 01:47:11.447 WHERE AM I? OH, BUT HERE'S THE PROBLEM THAT MOSES DID. MOSES, 01:47:11.447 --> 01:47:14.266 GOD LOVED HIM AS A SERVANT, AS A FRIEND, BUT HE WASN'T ALLOWED TO 01:47:14.266 --> 01:47:17.476 GO INTO THE PROMISED LAND. AND IT HIT ME ONE DAY AND I SAID, 01:47:17.476 --> 01:47:22.037 LORD, WHY? COULDN'T YOU JUST HAVE LOOKED THE OTHER WAY? 01:47:22.037 --> 01:47:24.738 COULDN'T YOU HAVE JUST SAID, YOU KNOW, MOSES, YOU'RE MY SERVANT, 01:47:24.738 --> 01:47:27.947 YOU'RE MY FRIEND. I MEAN, HEY, YOU HAD AN ANGER MOMENT. YOU HAD 01:47:27.947 --> 01:47:33.556 A TEMPER TANTRUM. YOU TOOK YOUR STICK THAT WAS GIVEN TO YOU AND 01:47:33.556 --> 01:47:37.247 YOU HIT THIS STUPID ROCK OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT. I 01:47:37.247 --> 01:47:41.898 MEAN, WHO CARES? IT'S JUST A ROCK AND WATER FLOWED OUT OF IT. 01:47:41.898 --> 01:47:44.898 AND GOD LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID, MOSES, BECAUSE YOU STRUCK THAT 01:47:44.898 --> 01:47:50.806 ROCK AND YOU DIDN'T SPEAK TO IT, YOU CANNOT, I KNOW IT HURTS AND 01:47:50.806 --> 01:47:55.697 GRIEVES MY HEART, BUT YOU CANNOT GO TO THE PROMISED LAND. NOW, 01:47:55.697 --> 01:47:58.787 LATER ON IN THE TRANSFIGURATION, HE LET MOSES STAND BY HIS SIDE 01:47:58.787 --> 01:48:03.077 AND SEE IT, BUT HE COULDN'T, OFF OF A TEMPER TANTRUM, OFF OF 01:48:03.077 --> 01:48:05.087 GETTING IN THE FLESH. I'VE HAD PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, GOD 01:48:05.087 --> 01:48:08.327 UNDERSTANDS ME." NOT IF YOU GET OUT OF THE LOVE WALK OR OUT OF 01:48:08.327 --> 01:48:14.159 HONOR. HE'S A GOOD FATHER, HE'S GONNA HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE. 01:48:14.159 --> 01:48:16.967 YOU'RE NOT TREATING GOD RIGHT. YOU'RE NOT TREATING OTHERS 01:48:16.967 --> 01:48:18.797 RIGHT. YOU'RE NOT TREATING YOUR SPOUSE RIGHT. YOU'RE NOT 01:48:18.797 --> 01:48:21.287 TREATING YOUR BOSS RIGHT. YOU'RE NOT TREATING YOUR MOM AND DAD 01:48:21.287 --> 01:48:25.398 RIGHT. YOU'RE NOT TREATING YOUR COUNTRY RIGHT, WHATEVER. YOU'RE 01:48:25.398 --> 01:48:28.127 NOT TREATING YOUR TITHE RIGHT. YOU'RE NOT TREATING YOUR MONEY 01:48:28.127 --> 01:48:34.306 RIGHT. GOD LOOKS AT THIS STUFF. BUT WITH MOSES, THE REASON IS, 01:48:34.306 --> 01:48:37.127 IS BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS IN THE BOOK OF CORINTHIANS THAT THAT 01:48:37.127 --> 01:48:43.547 ROCK THAT HE STRUCK, THAT THAT WATER CAME OUT OF WAS CHRIST. HE 01:48:43.547 --> 01:48:50.747 STRUCK A FORM OF JESUS, HIS BODY. AND IT DAWNED ON ME, WHEN 01:48:50.747 --> 01:48:56.837 WE STRIKE OUT ON OUR KEYBOARDS, OUR TEXT MESSAGES, OUR PHONE 01:48:56.837 --> 01:49:03.497 CALLS, WE JUST GET UP AND LEAVE 'CAUSE I'M MAD. AND WE MISTREAT 01:49:03.497 --> 01:49:06.707 ONE ANOTHER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. WE ARE DOING EXACTLY 01:49:06.707 --> 01:49:12.738 WHAT MOSES DID. WE ARE STRIKING AT THE BODY OF CHRIST. THAT'S 01:49:12.738 --> 01:49:16.426 WHY, CAN I TELL YOU, STAY OUT OF THE OPINIONS WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO 01:49:16.426 --> 01:49:20.894 HAVE YOU CALL OUT THIS ONE AND CALL OUT THAT ONE. OKAY, I GOT A 01:49:20.894 --> 01:49:24.287 CALL FROM SOMEBODY A WHILE BACK AND THEY SAID, "PASTOR, THIS 01:49:24.287 --> 01:49:26.336 MINISTER, "I THINK YOU MIGHT KNOW HIM." I SAID, "WELL, I 01:49:26.336 --> 01:49:30.676 REALLY DON'T KNOW HIM VERY WELL." THEY SAID, "THIS PERSON 01:49:30.676 --> 01:49:35.297 JUST KEEPS CALLING OUT MINISTERS." AND I THOUGHT MAYBE 01:49:35.297 --> 01:49:39.827 YOU KNEW THEM. I SAID, "WELL, I'VE MET THEM BEFORE." AND THEY 01:49:39.827 --> 01:49:47.537 SAID, "WELL, WOULD YOU TALK TO THEM "AND TELL THEM TO QUIT 01:49:47.537 --> 01:49:50.657 TALKING ABOUT, "THEY'RE SAYING SOME THINGS ABOUT THAT PERSON 01:49:50.657 --> 01:49:53.627 "AND THEY'RE SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT A MINISTRY FRIEND." I 01:49:53.627 --> 01:49:55.697 SAID, "FIRST OF ALL, I'M NOT HERE TO PICK "AND CHOOSE WHO 01:49:55.697 --> 01:50:01.636 YOUR FRIENDS ARE, "BUT HERE'S WHAT I WILL DO. "I WILL TELL YOU 01:50:01.636 --> 01:50:06.136 WHAT MARILYN HICKEY, MY MOM, "TOLD ME IN THE LORD. "SHE SAID 01:50:06.136 --> 01:50:09.136 TO ME, SHE SAID, 'HANK,'" 'CAUSE I ASKED HER ONE DAY, YOU KNOW, 01:50:09.136 --> 01:50:13.426 "SHE'S GONNA BE, I DON'T KNOW, 97, 98." I ASKED HER ONE TIME, 01:50:13.426 --> 01:50:17.207 AND YOU GOTTA REMEMBER, IN HER, I'VE KNOWN HER FOR HOW MANY 01:50:17.207 --> 01:50:21.648 YEARS, BRENDA? OVER 25 YEARS, SO SHE'S 90. SO I PROPHESIED TO HER 01:50:21.648 --> 01:50:24.346 ABOUT HER DECADE OF HER 70S. I REMEMBER THAT AND I TOLD HER 01:50:24.346 --> 01:50:26.747 ABOUT SHE WOULD BE LIVING IN HER 80S AND SHE'D BE LIVING IN HER 01:50:26.747 --> 01:50:31.488 90S. AND GOD WOULD TELL HER WHAT WAS COMING. BUT I ASKED HER ONE 01:50:31.488 --> 01:50:33.676 DAY, 'CAUSE I SAID, "MARILYN, YOU KNOW, GOD FULFILLED THOSE 01:50:33.676 --> 01:50:37.337 PROPHECIES "AFTER MORE THAN TWO DECADES THAT I'VE KNOWN YOU. 01:50:37.337 --> 01:50:41.386 "BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK IS ONE OF THE MISTAKES "THAT A LOT OF 01:50:41.386 --> 01:50:46.697 CHRISTIANS OR MINISTERS MAKES?" YOU KNOW WHAT SHE SAID? HOLDING 01:50:46.697 --> 01:50:52.247 GRUDGES AND TALKING AND CALLING OUT PEOPLE. SHE SAID MOST 01:50:52.247 --> 01:50:55.997 MINISTERS THAT SPEND ALL THEIR TIME NAMING NAMES AND CALLING 01:50:55.997 --> 01:51:00.497 OUT PEOPLE, SHE SAID YOU GO AND LOOK AT THEIR MINISTRY, MOST OF 01:51:00.497 --> 01:51:06.016 THEM WILL END IN SHIPWRECK. GOD DOES NOT PUT UP WITH THAT STUFF. 01:51:06.016 --> 01:51:09.407 NOW, THERE'S CERTAIN PEOPLE, PEOPLE SAY, WELL, YEAH, BUT PAUL 01:51:09.407 --> 01:51:13.787 CALLED OUT CERTAIN ONES IN THE BIBLE. BUT THOSE WERE UNDER HIS 01:51:13.787 --> 01:51:18.578 AUTHORITY, RIGHT? NOW, IF THERE'S SOMEBODY, IF ONE OF 01:51:18.578 --> 01:51:21.728 THEM, AND GOD FORBID, ONE OF OUR LEADERS OR PASTORS DID SOMETHING 01:51:21.728 --> 01:51:25.988 THAT WAS GRIEVOUS OR WHATEVER, I WOULD MAY HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, 01:51:25.988 --> 01:51:28.898 COME BEFORE THE CONGREGATION AND SAY, HEY, THIS PERSON 01:51:28.898 --> 01:51:33.007 REPRESENTED THE CHURCH. WE WENT TO THEM ALONE, THEY DIDN'T 01:51:33.007 --> 01:51:36.877 LISTEN. WE TRIED TO TAKE THEM BEFORE OTHER WISE COUNSEL, THE 01:51:36.877 --> 01:51:40.658 BOARD, THEY DIDN'T LISTEN, AND NOW WE HAVE TO MARK THEM. THERE 01:51:40.658 --> 01:51:42.967 ARE THOSE CASES THAT ARE UNDER MY THROAT. BUT FOR ME TO JUST 01:51:42.967 --> 01:51:49.177 GET UP EVERY SUNDAY AND LET'S TALK ABOUT WHETHER WE THINK THAT 01:51:49.177 --> 01:51:54.158 BROTHER BIG CHURCH, WHO MAY HAVE THE BIGGEST CHURCH, WHETHER IT 01:51:54.158 --> 01:52:00.158 BE IN WEEPING WILLOW, NEBRASKA, OR DALLAS, TEXAS, OR HOUSTON, 01:52:00.158 --> 01:52:03.818 WHETHER WE THINK THAT THEY'RE LEGITIMATE AND WHETHER THEY 01:52:03.818 --> 01:52:08.377 SHOULD HAVE A SMALL HOUSE, A MEDIUM HOUSE, A BIG HOUSE, A HEN 01:52:08.377 --> 01:52:15.068 HOUSE, A DOG HOUSE. AND THEN WE SIT THERE AND WE WRITE, YOU 01:52:15.068 --> 01:52:19.007 KNOW, PODCAST THIS AND WE GET ON IT. OH, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I 01:52:19.007 --> 01:52:22.778 THOUGHT. HE IS STEALING THE PEOPLE. HE IS FLEECING THE 01:52:22.778 --> 01:52:27.518 SHEEP. AND YOU KNOW WHAT MARILYN HICKEY TOLD ME? SHE SAID, "HANK, 01:52:27.518 --> 01:52:32.528 IF THEY'RE DIRTY, "GOD ALWAYS DEALS WITH HIS PEOPLE AND HIS 01:52:32.528 --> 01:52:35.917 MINISTERS." AND I SAID, "YOU KNOW WHAT, MARILYN, I AGREE WITH 01:52:35.917 --> 01:52:38.435 YOU, "BECAUSE WHEN ELI WAS STEALING FROM THE PEOPLE, "AND 01:52:38.435 --> 01:52:44.497 SO WAS HIS KIDS, GOD KILLED 'EM ALL." I REMEMBER ONE TIME I WAS 01:52:44.497 --> 01:52:50.438 IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI. AND I WAS, AND IF YOU KNOW WHO THIS 01:52:50.438 --> 01:52:52.568 PERSON IS, DON'T PUT IT IN THE COMMENTS. AGAIN, I'M TRYING TO 01:52:52.568 --> 01:52:58.087 TEACH A LESSON. AND SO THE DRIVER LOOKED, THERE WAS THIS 01:52:58.087 --> 01:53:01.658 BILLBOARDS ALL OVER FOR THIS MIRACLE SIGNS AND WONDERS. THEY 01:53:01.658 --> 01:53:06.608 WERE SHOWING CRUTCHES AND CANES AND WHEELCHAIRS AND ALL THIS 01:53:06.608 --> 01:53:09.608 STUFF. AND HE'S LIKE, OH MAN, ARE YOU GONNA GO TO THIS, PASTOR 01:53:09.608 --> 01:53:13.778 HANK? I SAID, WELL, I DON'T EVEN KNOW THIS PERSON. OH, THIS 01:53:13.778 --> 01:53:20.618 PERSON IS HAVING FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS WITH JESUS. AND I 01:53:20.618 --> 01:53:24.757 DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING 'CAUSE SOMETHING DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT. AND 01:53:24.757 --> 01:53:27.877 HE LOOKED AT ME AND HE SAID, PASTOR HANK, I, HE GOES, YOU'RE 01:53:27.877 --> 01:53:32.948 AWFUL QUIET. YOU'RE NOT RESPONDING 'CAUSE YOU DON'T 01:53:32.948 --> 01:53:36.188 AGREE WITH SOMETHING. I SAID, I'LL JUST KEEP IT TO MYSELF. HE 01:53:36.188 --> 01:53:39.158 GOES, SO I'LL TAKE THAT AS YOU AIN'T GOING. I SAID, NO, I'M NOT 01:53:39.158 --> 01:53:44.372 GOING. SO THEN WE SAW ANOTHER ONE. HE SAID, YEAH, BUT THIS MAN 01:53:44.372 --> 01:53:52.627 IS SEEING JESUS FACE TO FACE. AND HE'S GOT MIRACLES. I SAID, 01:53:52.627 --> 01:53:56.287 SO? HE GOES, WELL, I'LL TAKE THAT THEN THAT YOU DON'T THINK 01:53:56.287 --> 01:53:59.618 THAT HE'S LEGITIMATE. I SAID, WELL, I DIDN'T SAY THAT, 01:53:59.618 --> 01:54:00.908 BUT YOU CAN THINK THAT IF YOU WANT. 01:54:00.908 --> 01:54:03.427 (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) 01:54:03.427 --> 01:54:06.427 BECAUSE I WAS HEARING THE SPIRIT OF GOD. AND THE LORD TOLD ME, 01:54:06.427 --> 01:54:10.898 SAID, "HE'S MESSING AROUND WITH SOME WOMEN. "I HAVEN'T APPEARED 01:54:10.898 --> 01:54:16.118 TO HIM. "I'VE APPEARED IN HIS HEART AND CONVICTED HIM "AND 01:54:16.118 --> 01:54:21.068 TOLD HIM HE NEEDS TO QUIT HAVING SEX WITH WOMEN "AND INVITING 01:54:21.068 --> 01:54:26.587 THEM IN. "AND THERE'S A LOT OF MANUFACTURING GOING ON "OF WHAT 01:54:26.587 --> 01:54:29.497 IS ON THOSE BILLBOARDS, "AND I'M GONNA EXPOSE HIM AND YOU KEEP 01:54:29.497 --> 01:54:33.068 YOUR MOUTH SHUT." I SAID, "WELL, LORD, I CAN SHARE THIS. THIS IS 01:54:33.068 --> 01:54:44.858 DEEP." AND THE LORD SAID TO ME, "AND YOU'LL GRIEVE ME." AND SO 01:54:44.858 --> 01:54:48.097 THEN I SAID, "WELL, WHAT IF I SAY IT AND THEN WE TALK LATER? 01:54:48.097 --> 01:54:50.797 YOU EVER DONE THAT BEFORE?" AND I KNEW THAT WAS THE WRONG 01:54:50.797 --> 01:54:59.618 ANSWER. AND SURE ENOUGH, MAN, THIS WAS A FEW YEARS BACK AND 01:54:59.618 --> 01:55:07.239 ALL OVER THE NEWS IT CAME. SLEEPING AROUND, INTERCOURSE, 01:55:07.239 --> 01:55:11.287 LYING ABOUT THE SIGNS AND WONDERS. NOW THERE'S LEGITIMATE 01:55:11.287 --> 01:55:16.478 ONES OUT THERE. AND WE NEED TO HONOR THAT JUST BECAUSE I'M 01:55:16.478 --> 01:55:20.167 GIVING YOU AN EXAMPLE. BUT HERE'S MY POINT. I DIDN'T GO 01:55:20.167 --> 01:55:23.467 NAMING WHO IT WAS. I DIDN'T, THIS IS LIKE NOW, I DIDN'T GO 01:55:23.467 --> 01:55:28.118 AND, YOU KNOW, GET INTO A CONVERSATION OF WHY GOD TOLD ME 01:55:28.118 --> 01:55:37.328 THAT MAN IS A FORNICATOR AND AN INSTIGATOR, RIGHT? JUST LEAVE 01:55:37.328 --> 01:55:42.667 IT. BUT YOU START GOING DOWN THAT ROAD AND YOU GET INTO 01:55:42.667 --> 01:55:47.528 DISHONOR. WHAT DISHONOR, PASTOR HANK? EVERYBODY NEEDS TO KNOW 01:55:47.528 --> 01:55:52.452 THAT THAT MAN'S A CHARLESTON, OR WHATEVER THEY CALL THAT GUY. 01:55:52.452 --> 01:56:01.387 WHAT'S THE WORD? A CHARLACON, OR WHATEVER. CHARLOTTE, CHARLATEN, 01:56:01.387 --> 01:56:08.438 A CHARLATEN, A CHARLATEN. A GRIFTER, THERE, I GOT THAT WORD. 01:56:08.438 --> 01:56:10.627 I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A GRIFTER IS, BUT I'VE BEEN CALLED ONE, SO 01:56:10.627 --> 01:56:12.787 I DON'T KNOW WHAT A GRIFTER IS. SO THOSE OF YOU THAT SAY I'M A 01:56:12.787 --> 01:56:14.528 GRIFTER, I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT A GRIFTER IS. YOU GET MY 01:56:14.528 --> 01:56:24.637 GRIFT? OKAY, SO I DON'T. BUT WHAT GOOD IS IT? AND THEN I'VE 01:56:24.637 --> 01:56:30.427 WATCHED PEOPLE, I'VE WATCHED PEOPLE, I'VE WATCHED PEOPLE 01:56:30.427 --> 01:56:36.608 CRITICIZE. WELL, DON'T YOU KNOW THAT THAT MINISTER, HE THROWS 01:56:36.608 --> 01:56:41.648 HIS COAT. HE BLOWS ON PEOPLE. HE WEARS A WHITE SUIT. IT'S ALL 01:56:41.648 --> 01:56:45.877 FAKE. ALL I KNOW IS I WAS FIVE ROWS BACK WHEN THE GUY SAID, 01:56:45.877 --> 01:56:50.497 "RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT." I WAS OUT, KUNK, LIGHTS OUT. I WAS 01:56:50.497 --> 01:56:53.648 DRAGGED UP ON THIS STAGE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES. 01:56:53.648 --> 01:56:58.597 COULDN'T MOVE. RIGHT? IN THE BACK ROOM, LAID HANDS ON ME MORE 01:56:58.597 --> 01:57:03.368 THAN ONE TIME. MY WHOLE BODY'S VIBRATING. I CAN'T MOVE. YOU CAN 01:57:03.368 --> 01:57:06.037 CALL IT WHATEVER YOU WANT. I KNOW GOD, AND I'M TELLING YOU, 01:57:06.037 --> 01:57:08.467 THE TIMES THAT I'VE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH CERTAIN 01:57:08.467 --> 01:57:13.699 INDIVIDUALS. SO BE CAREFUL, JUST BECAUSE MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T HAD. 01:57:13.699 --> 01:57:16.358 AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT PERSON, THEN YOU DON'T FOLLOW 01:57:16.358 --> 01:57:21.608 THEM. RIGHT, BUT TO RAIL ON THE BODY OF CHRIST AND TO GET OUT 01:57:21.608 --> 01:57:24.886 THERE WITH YOUR PODCAST AND COMMENT SO THAT WE CAN ALL BE 01:57:24.886 --> 01:57:28.448 RIGHT ABOUT WHO'S WRONG. NO, THE ACTION OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS 01:57:28.448 --> 01:57:32.557 MORE WRONG POTENTIALLY THAN THE ONE THAT YOU'RE, WHAT YOU'RE 01:57:32.557 --> 01:57:35.858 ACCUSING. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT THE ENEMY DOES. AND 01:57:35.858 --> 01:57:38.618 REALLY, IT'S THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL, AND I AM NOT EVEN GONNA 01:57:38.618 --> 01:57:42.488 TALK ABOUT NABOTH'S VINEYARD TODAY. 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT 01:57:42.488 --> 01:57:47.887 JEZEBEL DOES. JEZEBEL LOVES TO KILL, STEAL, AND DESTROY, AND 01:57:47.887 --> 01:57:52.658 CALL OUT PEOPLE. A LOT OF TIMES, THEY'RE INNOCENT. AND BRING UP 01:57:52.658 --> 01:58:00.158 ACCUSATIONS, TURMOIL, DIVISION, STRIFE, SO THAT SHE CAN SNATCH 01:58:00.158 --> 01:58:04.778 THE VINEYARD. AND EVERYBODY HAS A VINEYARD THAT THEY HAVE TO 01:58:04.778 --> 01:58:07.747 RULE OVER. BUT THAT IS NEXT WEEK'S MESSAGE AS PASTOR DOUG 01:58:07.747 --> 01:58:13.087 GETS READY TO COME. 'CAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M HITTING WHAT I'M 01:58:13.087 --> 01:58:17.858 SUPPOSED TO HIT. SO I THINK WE GOTTA GET BACK TO SOME LOVE AND 01:58:17.858 --> 01:58:20.797 WE GOTTA GET BACK TO HONOR, RIGHT? I THINK THIS 01:58:20.797 --> 01:58:24.476 IS VERY IMPORTANT. GO TO DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 28. 01:58:24.476 --> 01:58:26.467 THIS WILL GIVE PASTOR DOUG ENOUGH TIME TO WALK. 01:58:26.467 --> 01:58:30.158 (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) 01:58:30.158 --> 01:58:37.778 NOW HE'S RUNNING, HE'S BRISKLY RUNNING. OKAY. NOW, I'M NOT 01:58:37.778 --> 01:58:41.618 SAYING THAT WE IGNORE BAD BEHAVIOR. I'M NOT SAYING THAT. 01:58:41.618 --> 01:58:45.292 YOU KNOW, LISTEN, THERE'S A COUPLE FOLK THAT ARE A LITTLE 01:58:45.292 --> 01:58:48.962 ORNERY OUT THERE, AND I'M LIKE, LORD, YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH 01:58:48.962 --> 01:58:52.688 THEM. IN FACT, ONE PERSON I WAS SAYING, ONE TIME I WAS LIKE, 01:58:52.688 --> 01:58:56.528 LORD, YOU REALLY NEED TO DEAL WITH THAT PERSON. AND THEN ONE 01:58:56.528 --> 01:59:00.667 DAY I'M SITTING, OUT OF NOWHERE, THIS PERSON COMES IN TO ONE OF 01:59:00.667 --> 01:59:04.512 THE MEETINGS. AND I'M SITTING THERE, I'M LIKE, MAN, I DON'T 01:59:04.512 --> 01:59:07.328 LIKE THAT PERSON. AND GOD SAYS, YEAH, AND YOU'RE GONNA DEAL WITH 01:59:07.328 --> 01:59:13.487 SOMETHING. YOU'RE GONNA TALK TO THEM. YOU'RE GONNA TALK TO THEM. 01:59:13.487 --> 01:59:15.877 AND YOU'RE GONNA TELL THEM SUCH AND SUCH. AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT, 01:59:15.877 --> 01:59:19.993 I WAS SURPRISED. WHEN I BROUGHT IT UP, THEY SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? 01:59:19.993 --> 01:59:24.158 AND I GOTTA BE CAREFUL HOW I SAY IT. THEY SAID, YOU ARE A TRUE 01:59:24.158 --> 01:59:27.938 BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. AND THE ONLY REASON WHY I SAY IT TO YOU LIKE 01:59:27.938 --> 01:59:32.677 THAT IS BECAUSE THEY SAID, GOD HAS BEEN DEALING WITH ME AND I 01:59:32.677 --> 01:59:36.097 HAVE BEEN DISHONORING HIM. AND THEY SAID, I'M GONNA CORRECT 01:59:36.097 --> 01:59:41.029 THAT. NOW, I WILL SAY THIS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HERE'S THE 01:59:41.029 --> 01:59:47.648 THING. SOMETIMES, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER HAD SOMETHING THAT 01:59:47.648 --> 01:59:51.368 YOU'RE WORKING ON IN YOUR LIFE? NOW, UNLESS IT'S OBVIOUSLY 01:59:51.368 --> 01:59:55.717 SOMETHING THAT IS, YOU KNOW, REALLY, REALLY EVIL AND WRONG, 01:59:55.717 --> 02:00:00.547 RIGHT? AND YOU'RE IN THE PUBLIC EYE, THAT'S, YOU KNOW. WE NEED 02:00:00.547 --> 02:00:06.457 TO LET GOD WORK WITH PEOPLE. WE NEED TO LET THE HOLY SPIRIT WORK 02:00:06.457 --> 02:00:11.828 WITH PEOPLE, SOMETIMES RATHER THAN GIVING VOICE TO IT. AND I 02:00:11.828 --> 02:00:18.158 WAS SHOCKED WHEN I HAD TO BRING A CONFRONTATION, A WORD TO THIS 02:00:18.158 --> 02:00:24.158 PERSON. I WAS SHOCKED, LIKE, OKAY. I DIDN'T THINK THEY WOULD 02:00:24.158 --> 02:00:30.847 RECEIVE, BUT THEY DID. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO 02:00:30.847 --> 02:00:38.078 ON AND LET EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT THEY NEEDED TO CORRECT. HOW MANY 02:00:38.078 --> 02:00:41.648 HEARING WHAT I'M SAYING? I THINK BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO HONOR GOD'S 02:00:41.648 --> 02:00:45.608 HEART, HOW DOES HE FEEL ABOUT HIS BODY? HOW DOES HE FEEL ABOUT 02:00:45.608 --> 02:00:48.787 THAT CHRISTIAN, THAT BROTHER, THAT SISTER, THAT MINISTER, THAT 02:00:48.787 --> 02:00:54.818 CHURCH? WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT. AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU A 02:00:54.818 --> 02:01:02.557 PRINCIPLE HERE. THERE IS BLESSINGS, RIGHT, TO A LIFE OF 02:01:02.557 --> 02:01:08.171 HONOR. SAYS IN VERSE 1, IT SAYS, DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 28, VERSE 1, 02:01:08.171 --> 02:01:11.828 "IT SHALL COME TO PASS IF YOU WILL HONOR "THE VOICE OF THE 02:01:11.828 --> 02:01:16.297 LORD YOUR GOD, "TO OBSERVE AND DO ALL OF HIS COMMANDMENTS, 02:01:16.297 --> 02:01:20.978 "WHICH I COMMAND THIS DAY, "THAT THE LORD WILL SET YOU ON HIGH 02:01:20.978 --> 02:01:23.423 "ABOVE ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH." SO GOD IS SAYING, LOOK, 02:01:23.423 --> 02:01:29.003 IF YOU JUST HONOR MY WORD, YOU HONOR MY WAYS, OKAY, IT'S GONNA 02:01:29.003 --> 02:01:33.354 BE A BLESSING. NOW WATCH VERSE 2. AND ALL THESE BLESSINGS WILL 02:01:33.354 --> 02:01:38.092 COME ON YOU IF YOU MAINTAIN A LIFE OF HONOR. IN FACT, IF YOU 02:01:38.092 --> 02:01:41.003 MAINTAIN A LIFE OF HONOR, AND WE'RE GONNA SHOW YOU THIS NEXT 02:01:41.003 --> 02:01:45.234 WEEK OUT OF THE BOOK OF PROVERBS, WHAT HAPPENS? MAN, 02:01:45.234 --> 02:01:48.113 IT'S CONNECTED TO YOUR HEALTH, IT'S CONNECTED TO YOUR MONEY, 02:01:48.113 --> 02:01:52.979 IT'S CONNECTED TO YOUR LONGEVITY, IT'S CONNECTED TO 02:01:52.979 --> 02:01:57.654 FAVOR WITH GOD, FAVOR WITH PEOPLE, HOW YOU HONOR GOD AND 02:01:57.654 --> 02:02:00.894 HOW YOU HONOR OTHERS. HE SAYS, ALL THESE BLESSINGS ARE GONNA 02:02:00.894 --> 02:02:03.592 COME ON YOU, THEY'RE EVEN GONNA OVERTAKE IN YOU IF YOU WILL BE A 02:02:03.592 --> 02:02:06.713 PERSON OF HONOR AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE LORD YOUR GOD. 02:02:06.713 --> 02:02:11.163 NOW HE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT SITTING DOWN GOING, (HUMMING) 02:02:11.163 --> 02:02:19.338 I'M WAITING FOR YOUR VOICE. I'M HONORING YOUR VOICE. 02:02:19.338 --> 02:02:26.680 I DON'T HEAR IT. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO SPEAK? 02:02:26.680 --> 02:02:32.185 NO. THIS ALSO IS THE VOICE OF THE LORD. AMEN. 02:02:32.185 --> 02:02:36.024 OKAY, YOUR PASTOR IS PART OF GOD SPEAKING. YOUR 02:02:36.024 --> 02:02:43.434 SPOUSE, ANOTHER CHRISTIAN, RIGHT? IF YOU DO WHAT GOD SAYS. 02:02:43.434 --> 02:02:48.533 SEE, JESUS SAID THESE WORDS, HE SAID, "DON'T CALL ME LORD." AND 02:02:48.533 --> 02:02:50.934 THEN YOU DON'T DO WHAT I SAY. YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD, THE REAL 02:02:50.934 --> 02:02:54.533 DEFINITION OF LORD IS? IN FACT, WE'VE SAW THIS MOVEMENT IN THE 02:02:54.533 --> 02:02:57.774 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE NO KINGS MOVEMENT. REALLY WHAT'S 02:02:57.774 --> 02:03:03.113 THE ROOT OF THAT IS THEY DON'T WANT GOD EITHER. IF YOU LOOK AT 02:03:03.113 --> 02:03:08.604 JESUS AND YOU SAY, YOU ARE NOT JUST MY SAVIOR, BUT YOU ARE MY 02:03:08.604 --> 02:03:12.623 LORD. YOU ARE SAYING YOU'RE MY KING, AND I AM PART OF YOUR 02:03:12.623 --> 02:03:18.592 KINGDOM, AND THEREFORE I LOSE MY RIGHTS. WHATEVER YOU SAY, 02:03:18.592 --> 02:03:22.253 WHATEVER YOU WANT, HOWEVER YOU WANT ME TO LIVE, HOWEVER YOU 02:03:22.253 --> 02:03:28.104 WANT ME TO BE, HOWEVER YOU WANT ME TO ACT, THAT'S WHO I AM.

CAN'T 02:03:39.384 --> 02:03:42.622 GO TO GOD AND SAY, WELL, NO, I DO. NOW, THERE ARE TIMES, LET ME 02:03:42.622 --> 02:03:45.203 JUST SAY THIS. THERE ARE TIMES WITH THE FATHER, AND I DO THIS 02:03:45.203 --> 02:03:48.203 WITH HIM, AND I DO THIS WITH JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHERE 02:03:48.203 --> 02:03:51.293 PART OF MY RELATIONSHIP, MAYBE THIS IS JUST ME, WHERE I SAY TO 02:03:51.293 --> 02:03:58.163 GOD, GOD, I KNOW THAT WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY TO YOU IS PROBABLY 02:03:58.163 --> 02:04:04.493 NOT SMART. IT'S NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO THINK ABOUT THIS. BUT I 02:04:04.493 --> 02:04:07.823 WOULD LIKE, YOU KNOW, IF I WOULD GO TO AN ATTORNEY, YOU GET TO 02:04:07.823 --> 02:04:12.024 PRESENT YOUR CASE.

LOOK AT VERSE 3. YOU'LL BE BLESSED IN 02:07:40.974 --> 02:07:46.194 THE CITY. YOU'LL BE BLESSED IN THE FIELD. YOU'LL BE BLESSED, 02:07:46.194 --> 02:07:50.634 WATCH THIS, VERSE 4. YOU'RE GONNA BE BLESSED COMING IN, 02:07:50.634 --> 02:07:54.894 YOU'RE GONNA BE BLESSED GOING OUT. AND WHAT I WANT YOU TO SEE 02:07:54.894 --> 02:07:59.604 IS, IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO 14 VERSES. SO THERE'S 14 VERSES OF 02:07:59.604 --> 02:08:05.934 BLESSINGS, BUT THEN GO DOWN TO VERSE 15. THERE ARE 68, NO, 02:08:05.934 --> 02:08:11.904 YEAH, 15 TO 68. SO THERE'S, WHAT IS, WHERE'S MIKE MCGRATH? WHAT'S 02:08:11.904 --> 02:08:21.113 68 MINUS 15? ANYBODY KNOW? SO THERE'S 53 CONSEQUENCES, 53 02:08:21.113 --> 02:08:25.644 VERSES OF WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T OBEY, IF YOU DON'T HONOR. 02:08:25.644 --> 02:08:29.363 "BUT IT SHALL COME TO PASS, IF YOU'LL NOT HONOR "THE VOICE OF 02:08:29.363 --> 02:08:32.963 THE LORD OR WHAT HE SAYS IN HIS STATUTES, "THEN ALL THESE THINGS 02:08:32.963 --> 02:08:35.724 SHALL COME UPON THEE." WELL, I'M REDEEMED FROM THAT. WELL, BUT 02:08:35.724 --> 02:08:40.253 YOU PUT YOURSELF, DISHONOR, CAN I TELL YOU WHAT DISHONOR DOES? 02:08:40.253 --> 02:08:43.463 WHY DID WE EVEN NEED TO HAVE JESUS COME? GO AHEAD AND STAND 02:08:43.463 --> 02:08:47.573 AT YOUR FEET. WHY DID WE EVEN NEED JESUS TO COME? BECAUSE WE 02:08:47.573 --> 02:08:53.783 HAD LUCIFER, DISHONOR, IT WAS IN HIS HEART. HE TRIED TO CHALLENGE 02:08:53.783 --> 02:08:58.644 GOD, AND THAT DISHONOR WAS SO MUCH IN HIS HEART THAT HE WENT 02:08:58.644 --> 02:09:04.342 DOWN TO THE GARDEN, AND WHAT DID HE DO? HE SOWED THAT FIRST ACT 02:09:04.342 --> 02:09:08.934 OF DISHONOR. WHAT DID HE DO? HE WENT TO ADAM AND EVE, OR REALLY 02:09:08.934 --> 02:09:12.713 EVE, AND HE SAID, "OH, YOU KNOW, GOD REALLY DIDN'T SAY THAT. "GOD 02:09:12.713 --> 02:09:17.394 REALLY DIDN'T MEAN THAT." TRYING TO GET THEM TO DISHONOR WHAT GOD 02:09:17.394 --> 02:09:24.743 SAID. AND AS A RESULT, RIGHT, THE CURSE CAME INTO 02:09:24.743 --> 02:09:29.814 MANIFESTATION. WHEN WE GET OUT OF HONOR, WE SET OURSELVES UP 02:09:29.814 --> 02:09:32.333 FOR THE ENEMY TO TAKE HITS. THIS IS WHY THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU 02:09:32.333 --> 02:09:38.123 BREAK A HEDGE, ECCLESIASTES 10:8, THE SERPENT CAN BITE. IF 02:09:38.123 --> 02:09:42.802 WE JUST LIVE OUR LIVES, I'M GONNA DO WHAT I WANNA DO. THAT'S 02:09:42.802 --> 02:09:49.073 JUST ME, IT'S MY PERSONALITY, RIGHT? GOD GETS ME. NOPE, TURN 02:09:49.073 --> 02:09:51.894 THE CHANNEL WHEN YOU SEE THAT COMMERCIAL COME ON. HE ALREADY 02:09:51.894 --> 02:09:58.253 GOT US. NOW HE DEMANDS THAT WE CONFORM TO HIS IMAGE, RIGHT? 02:09:58.253 --> 02:10:02.904 HEAVENLY FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR EVERY PERSON, ME INCLUDED, THAT 02:10:02.904 --> 02:10:08.475 WE ARE PUTTING ON CHRIST AND WE'RE PUTTING OFF THE OLD MAN. 02:10:08.475 --> 02:10:12.024 AND FATHER, WE TAKE UP OUR CROSS. THAT'S WHAT JESUS SAID. 02:10:12.024 --> 02:10:17.333 WE DENY OURSELVES, WE DENY OUR FLESH. WE DON'T ALLOW DISHONOR 02:10:17.333 --> 02:10:21.083 TO BE A PART OF OUR LIVES, OUR PROCESS, OUR THINKING, OUR 02:10:21.083 --> 02:10:24.774 ACTIONS. AND LORD, WE THINK ABOUT THE CROSS AND WE THINK 02:10:24.774 --> 02:10:30.203 ABOUT THE VERTICAL POST OF OUR RELATIONSHIP AND OUR HONOR 02:10:30.203 --> 02:10:35.154 BETWEEN US AND YOU. AND GOD, WE DO LOVE YOU AND WE DO HONOR YOU 02:10:35.154 --> 02:10:39.802 WITH ALL OF OUR HEART, SOUL, MIND, AND STRENGTH. AND THEN WE 02:10:39.802 --> 02:10:45.503 THINK ABOUT THAT HORIZONTAL PIECE OF FATHER, FORGIVE THEM. 02:10:45.503 --> 02:10:48.234 AND FATHER, IF THERE'S ANYONE THAT WE HAVE HONOR IN OUR HEART 02:10:48.234 --> 02:10:54.923 TODAY, WE FORGIVE ALL MEN. WE EXAMINE OURSELVES, AND WE WILL 02:10:54.923 --> 02:10:59.394 NOT, OH GOD, HAVE UNFORGIVENESS IN OUR HEART. BUT THAT 02:10:59.394 --> 02:11:02.724 HORIZONTAL PART ACROSS, LORD, HELP US TO DO UNTO OTHERS AS 02:11:02.724 --> 02:11:06.833 WE'D HAVE THEM DO UNTO US. HELP US TO LOVE OTHERS AND HONOR 02:11:06.833 --> 02:11:10.793 OTHERS, BUT ALSO AT THE SAME TIME, HAVE A BACKBONE THAT 02:11:10.793 --> 02:11:16.710 STANDS FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH WITH OUR FELLOW MAN. LORD, 02:11:16.710 --> 02:11:25.868 THERE'S BLESSINGS OF HONOR, AND WE CHOOSE THIS DAY, OUR HOUSE, 02:11:25.868 --> 02:11:30.819 THIS TEMPLE, AS IT SAYS IN THE BOOK OF JOSHUA, TO SERVE THE 02:11:30.819 --> 02:11:36.729 LORD, TO SERVE OUR KING, AND TO BE PEOPLE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 02:11:36.729 --> 02:11:40.988 AND SO, LORD, THIS DAY, WE NOT ONLY CALL YOU OUR SAVIOR, BUT WE 02:11:40.988 --> 02:11:45.519 CALL YOU OUR KING, OUR LORD. AND WE WILL DO WHAT YOU SAY. SHOW US 02:11:45.519 --> 02:11:52.479 THE WAY OF HONOR. AND WE'LL WALK IN IT, IN YESHUA'S NAME. AND 02:11:52.479 --> 02:11:57.668 EVERYBODY THAT BELIEVES GOD'S WORD SAID. AMEN. AMEN. WELL, I 02:11:57.668 --> 02:12:00.368 HOPE YOU GOT SOMETHING OUT OF IT. CAN I TELL YOU, COME ON 02:12:00.368 --> 02:12:04.179 OVER, PASTOR. YOU KNOW, AND WHAT'S AMAZING TO ME IS I'M 02:12:04.179 --> 02:12:08.469 TRYING TO PREACH ANOTHER MESSAGE, BUT IT'S LIKE GOD KEEPS 02:12:08.469 --> 02:12:12.128 TAKING ME DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. SO HOPEFULLY, NO, NOT HOPEFULLY, 02:12:12.128 --> 02:12:13.689 'CAUSE I KNOW IT'S THE LORD, 'CAUSE I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A 02:12:13.689 --> 02:12:18.939 LONG TIME. SO I BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE BEING BLESSED BY IT. AND 02:12:18.939 --> 02:12:23.559 AMEN. ALL RIGHT, PASTOR DOUG, AGAIN, REMIND HIM, THERE IS NO 02:12:23.559 --> 02:12:27.010 IN-PERSON SERVICE ON WEDNESDAY, BUT BRENNAN AND I WILL BE COMING 02:12:27.010 --> 02:12:30.969 TO YOU RIGHT THERE LIVE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SO LOOK FORWARD 02:12:30.969 --> 02:12:34.149 TO BEING ABLE TO TALK WITH YOU ABOUT SOME THANKSGIVING STUFF. 02:12:34.149 --> 02:12:40.806 AMEN. THANK YOU, PASTOR. I LOVE YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. I'M GOING TO 02:12:40.806 --> 02:12:44.590 ASK YOU JUST TO HOLD WITH ME FOR JUST A COUPLE MINUTES HERE, AND 02:12:44.590 --> 02:12:47.198 THOSE OF YOU THAT NEED TO GET TO YOUR PLACE OF WORK IN THE FOYER 02:12:47.198 --> 02:12:51.099 OR CONNECT CAFE OR WHEREVER YOU NEED TO BE, I'LL DISMISS YOU AT 02:12:51.099 --> 02:12:53.889 THIS POINT IN TIME. THE REST OF YOU, IF YOU'LL JUST WAIT WITH ME 02:12:53.889 --> 02:12:57.939 FOR JUST A COUPLE MORE MINUTES. PASTOR HANK MENTIONED THIS 02:12:57.939 --> 02:13:01.779 MORNING, PSALM 103, ABOUT OUR LIVES ARE REDEEMED FROM 02:13:01.779 --> 02:13:05.498 DESTRUCTION. AND THAT'S SUCH A GREAT PRINCIPLE, SUCH A GREAT 02:13:05.498 --> 02:13:12.038 PROMISE THAT WE CAN HANG ON TO. BUT THAT ONLY HAPPENS IF WE ARE 02:13:12.038 --> 02:13:16.628 PART OF THE COVENANT THAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT, IF WE ARE 02:13:16.628 --> 02:13:20.679 CONNECTED TO JESUS. SO IF YOU'RE AN UNBELIEVER, YOU HAVEN'T 02:13:20.679 --> 02:13:24.010 RECEIVED JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR, THEN YOU CAN'T 02:13:24.010 --> 02:13:27.368 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ALL THOSE PROMISES THAT THE BIBLE GIVES. 02:13:27.368 --> 02:13:31.238 YOU HAVE TO TAKE THAT INITIAL STEP TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION TO 02:13:31.238 --> 02:13:36.788 GOD AND SAY, "LORD, I WANT YOU TO SAVE ME. I WANT YOU TO BE MY 02:13:36.788 --> 02:13:39.819 LORD AND I WILL SERVE YOU." YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT STEP. AND HE 02:13:39.819 --> 02:13:43.448 WENT TO THE CROSS. YOU HEARD SO MUCH GOOD. THAT WAS REALLY A 02:13:43.448 --> 02:13:46.328 GOOD MESSAGE TODAY. HOW MANY OF YOU GAINED SOMETHING FROM THAT? 02:13:46.328 --> 02:13:50.734 YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE, MAN, HONOR IS SO IMPORTANT. AND HOW DO YOU 02:13:50.734 --> 02:13:53.889 HONOR GOD? WELL, ONE OF THE FIRST WAYS YOU HONOR GOD, IF 02:13:53.889 --> 02:13:58.149 YOU'VE NEVER DONE IT, IS TO MAKE HIM THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE. HE 02:13:58.149 --> 02:14:02.559 CREATED YOU. HE KNOWS THE BEST PLAN FOR YOU. HE HAS A 02:14:02.559 --> 02:14:06.038 WONDERFUL, ABUNDANT PLAN FOR EACH OF US. BUT IF WE CHOOSE TO 02:14:06.038 --> 02:14:11.019 GO OUR OWN WAY, OUR SELF-WILLED WAY THAT MOST MEN WANT TO DO, 02:14:11.019 --> 02:14:16.748 THAT'S JUST OUR NATURAL BENT, IS TO DO IT OURSELVES. BUT IF WE 02:14:16.748 --> 02:14:21.038 CHOOSE THAT PATH, IT ENDS UP IN DESTRUCTION. IT ENDS UP IN 02:14:21.038 --> 02:14:26.229 DESTRUCTION. BECAUSE THERE'S LIFE AFTER WHAT YOU'RE 02:14:26.229 --> 02:14:30.128 EXPERIENCING ON THIS EARTH. I KNOW IT'S COMMON TEACHING TODAY 02:14:30.128 --> 02:14:35.439 THAT WHEN THIS LIFE ENDS, YOU'RE JUST DEAD LIKE A TREE, JUST 02:14:35.439 --> 02:14:40.510 NOTHING ELSE. IT'S NOT TRUE. THE TRUTH IS WE'RE BODIES, SOUL, AND 02:14:40.510 --> 02:14:43.689 SPIRIT, AND OUR SPIRIT IS ETERNAL. AND WHEN YOU CONNECT 02:14:43.689 --> 02:14:46.958 YOUR ETERNAL SPIRIT TO GOD, YOU'RE GOING TO BE WITH HIM FOR 02:14:46.958 --> 02:14:51.248 ETERNITY. IF YOU DO NOT DO THAT, IF YOU DO NOT CHOOSE TO DO THAT, 02:14:51.248 --> 02:14:55.658 IF YOU DON'T MAKE THE CHOICE TO CONNECT WITH GOD, THEN YOU'VE 02:14:55.658 --> 02:14:59.050 ALREADY MADE A CHOICE TO WALK WITH SATAN OR THE DEVIL. AND HIS 02:14:59.050 --> 02:15:03.969 PLAN IS A PLAN OF DESTRUCTION. HE COMES TO STEAL, KILL, AND 02:15:03.969 --> 02:15:10.328 DESTROY. AND THEN OUR DESTINY IS DETERMINED FOR US. WE DON'T JUST 02:15:10.328 --> 02:15:14.109 END UP ROTTED PIECE OF WOOD DECAYING IN THE GROUND LIKE A 02:15:14.109 --> 02:15:17.889 TREE. WE END UP IN A PLACE CALLED HELL, WHICH IS FOR 02:15:17.889 --> 02:15:22.179 ETERNITY. AND SOMETIMES WE THINK THIS LIFE IS LONG. I THINK IT'S 02:15:22.179 --> 02:15:24.698 SHORT BECAUSE IT'S GOING SO FAST, BUT SOMETIMES WE THINK 02:15:24.698 --> 02:15:28.029 THIS LIFE IS LONG. BUT WAIT UNTIL YOU GET INTO ETERNITY AND 02:15:28.029 --> 02:15:32.260 YOU'RE STUCK IN HELL AND YOU NEVER GET OUT. WHAT A TERRIBLE 02:15:32.260 --> 02:15:37.090 TRAGEDY. WE DON'T WANT ANYONE TO END UP THERE. AND I KNOW THAT 02:15:37.090 --> 02:15:41.859 EVERY WEEK IT SEEMS WE RECEIVE NOTICE THAT SOMEONE ACROSS THE 02:15:41.859 --> 02:15:45.099 NATION OR AROUND THE WORLD RECEIVES JESUS AT THIS TIME. SO 02:15:45.099 --> 02:15:47.738 I JUST ASK YOU TO BE PATIENT WITH ME FOR A MOMENT. I'M GONNA 02:15:47.738 --> 02:15:53.654 ASK YOU TO JUST BOW YOUR HEADS WITH ME, AND WE'RE GONNA PRAY. 02:15:53.654 --> 02:15:57.788 AND IF THERE'S SOMEONE HERE IN THIS ROOM, AND YOU SAY, "PASTOR 02:15:57.788 --> 02:16:00.429 DOUG, I'VE NEVER REALLY MADE "THAT DECISION TO MAKE CHRIST MY 02:16:00.429 --> 02:16:04.389 LORD. "I WANNA SECURE MY ETERNAL FUTURE, "BUT I WANNA KNOW GOD'S 02:16:04.389 --> 02:16:07.988 PLAN FOR MY LIFE. "I WANNA ENTER INTO ALL THOSE GOOD PROMISES 02:16:07.988 --> 02:16:11.109 "THAT PASTOR HANK WAS TALKING ABOUT. I DON'T WANT TO END UP IN 02:16:11.109 --> 02:16:15.550 DESTRUCTION. I WANT TO FOLLOW GOD. I WANT HIS PLAN AND HIS 02:16:15.550 --> 02:16:19.359 PURPOSE. AND WHEN YOU STEP INTO THAT, YOU'LL BE SUCCESSFUL IN 02:16:19.359 --> 02:16:22.809 EVERY AREA BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE YOU STEP INTO HEALING. THAT'S 02:16:22.809 --> 02:16:26.078 WHERE YOU STEP INTO PROSPERITY. THAT'S WHEN YOU STEP INTO 02:16:26.078 --> 02:16:30.456 PROVISION. THE ANGELS WATCHING OVER YOU, HAVING HIM REBUKE THE 02:16:30.456 --> 02:16:33.430 DEVOURER ON YOUR BEHALF. ALL THOSE THINGS THAT HAPPEN WHEN 02:16:33.430 --> 02:16:37.119 YOU BECOME A CHRISTIAN. THERE'LL BE WARS AND THERE'LL BE FIGHTS, 02:16:37.119 --> 02:16:40.869 BUT YOU'LL HAVE HIM ON YOUR SIDE. AND THAT WILL GIVE YOU 02:16:40.869 --> 02:16:45.549 PEACE. IF YOU NEED THAT PEACE TODAY, I'M URGING YOU TO MAKE 02:16:45.549 --> 02:16:48.158 THE DECISION TODAY. WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG WE HAVE ON THIS 02:16:48.158 --> 02:16:55.029 EARTH. PEOPLE GET TAKEN OUT EVERY DAY, BUT NEVER WAIT WHEN 02:16:55.029 --> 02:16:57.549 YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AND GOD'S TUGGING AT YOUR HEART, 02:16:57.549 --> 02:17:00.250 MAKE THE DECISION FOR HIM. HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO DO. I WANT 02:17:00.250 --> 02:17:02.647 TO PRAY WITH YOU TODAY IF YOU NEED JESUS. AND I'M GOING TO 02:17:02.647 --> 02:17:05.079 COUNT TO THREE. IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE, YOU CAN DO THIS 02:17:05.079 --> 02:17:07.779 RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE AT, IN YOUR HOME, YOUR HOTEL ROOM, AT YOUR 02:17:07.779 --> 02:17:10.658 PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT, EVEN IF YOU'RE DRIVING IN YOUR CAR, YOU 02:17:10.658 --> 02:17:14.049 CAN ACKNOWLEDGE THIS. BUT WHEN I COUNT TO THREE, IF YOU SAY, "I 02:17:14.049 --> 02:17:17.920 NEED JESUS, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT HE'S THE LORD OF MY LIFE, I 02:17:17.920 --> 02:17:20.468 WANT TO COMMIT TO HIM," I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING 02:17:20.468 --> 02:17:24.745 VERY BOLD AND JUST RAISE YOUR HAND SO I CAN ACKNOWLEDGE YOU. 02:17:24.745 --> 02:17:30.010 ONE, TWO, THREE. RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU NEED JESUS. YOU SAY, "I 02:17:30.010 --> 02:17:33.459 WANT TO MAKE HIM THE LORD OF MY LIFE. I NEED TO MAKE THAT 02:17:33.459 --> 02:17:38.228 DECISION TODAY." IS THERE ANYONE HERE? YOU SAY, "I NEED TO MAKE 02:17:38.228 --> 02:17:44.079 JESUS THE LORD OF MY LIFE. I WANT TO DO THAT TODAY." I DON'T 02:17:44.079 --> 02:17:49.689 SEE ANY HANDS HERE. IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE, IS THERE A HAND 02:17:49.689 --> 02:17:54.549 THAT I MISSED SOMEWHERE? IS THERE A HAND OVER HERE? OKAY. 02:17:54.549 --> 02:17:57.908 I'M GOING TO ASK THAT PERSON, I CAN'T SEE YOU, BUT IF YOU'RE 02:17:57.908 --> 02:18:00.520 HERE, YOU RAISE YOUR HAND, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING 02:18:00.520 --> 02:18:03.549 ELSE. I WANT YOU TO COME FORWARD AND STAND RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME 02:18:03.549 --> 02:18:06.968 NOW, IF YOU WOULD. JUST GET OUT OF YOUR SEAT AND COME FORWARD 02:18:06.968 --> 02:18:13.270 HERE. THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT, SIR. I'M NOT GOING TO EMBARRASS 02:18:13.270 --> 02:18:19.299 YOU, BUT JESUS HAS A GOOD PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. COME ON UP, COME 02:18:19.299 --> 02:18:22.840 ON UP. I SEE YOU'VE GOT A BLUE BAG. THIS YOUR FIRST TIME HERE? 02:18:22.840 --> 02:18:27.728 THANK YOU FOR COMING TODAY. GOD BLESS YOU. GOD BLESS YOU. THE 02:18:27.728 --> 02:18:31.119 REASON I HAVE PEOPLE COME UP IS EVERY TIME THAT WE LOOK IN THE 02:18:31.119 --> 02:18:35.138 BIBLE WHEN JESUS CALLED PEOPLE, HE CALLED THEM PUBLICLY. AND 02:18:35.138 --> 02:18:37.510 THIS WILL MAKE AN IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE, I BELIEVE, BECAUSE YOU'LL 02:18:37.510 --> 02:18:40.119 NEVER FORGET THE DAY THAT YOU CAME FORWARD AT LORD OF HOSTS 02:18:40.119 --> 02:18:47.020 CHURCH ON NOVEMBER 23RD, 23RD, 2025, AND YOU MADE A DECISION 02:18:47.020 --> 02:18:51.549 FOR CHRIST. BASICALLY, IT'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. AND YOU'LL 02:18:51.549 --> 02:18:54.067 NEVER LOOK BACK AND SAY, "I'M DISAPPOINTED," BECAUSE YOU'LL 02:18:54.067 --> 02:18:59.228 KNOW AS YOU FOLLOW HIM WHERE YOU'RE GONNA END UP IN ETERNITY. 02:18:59.228 --> 02:19:02.020 AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE ANGELS AND THOSE THAT HAVE GONE 02:19:02.020 --> 02:19:04.808 ON BEFORE US, YOU PROBABLY HAVE GRANDPARENTS OR 02:19:04.808 --> 02:19:07.270 GREAT-GRANDPARENTS THAT ARE ALREADY IN HEAVEN. THEY'RE 02:19:07.270 --> 02:19:11.049 LOOKING DOWN AT YOU NOW AND THEY'RE GONNA SAY, "THANK GOD HE 02:19:11.049 --> 02:19:13.988 CAME TO JESUS." AND THEY'RE REJOICING, THEY'RE HAVING A 02:19:13.988 --> 02:19:18.279 PARTY. WHAT'S YOUR NAME, SIR? MY NAME'S NATHAN. NATHAN? NATHAN, 02:19:18.279 --> 02:19:24.250 GOD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. OKAY, WE'LL TALK 02:19:24.250 --> 02:19:27.790 ABOUT THAT LATER, BUT LET'S TAKE CARE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THING 02:19:27.790 --> 02:19:31.238 FIRST. WE'LL HELP YOU. BUT LET'S TAKE CARE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT 02:19:31.238 --> 02:19:34.449 THING, AND THAT'S PRAYING TO ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART. 02:19:34.449 --> 02:19:37.988 IT STARTS WITH A SIMPLE PRAYER, AND THEN AS YOU MOVE ON FROM 02:19:37.988 --> 02:19:42.067 THERE, CHURCH ATTENDANCE, GETTING THE RIGHT RELATIONSHIPS, 02:19:42.067 --> 02:19:44.790 AND STUDYING YOUR BIBLE AND PRAYING ARE ALL PART OF IT, AND 02:19:44.790 --> 02:19:47.738 WE'LL HELP YOU WITH THAT. BUT THIS IS YOUR FIRST STEP, AND IT 02:19:47.738 --> 02:19:50.350 STARTS WITH A PRAYER. NOW, IF YOU'RE WATCHING ONLINE, YOU CAN 02:19:50.350 --> 02:19:54.279 PRAY WITH ME.
