AND YOU KNOW, HOW MANY OF YOU WERE HERE 01:01:50.043 --> 01:01:53.545 2024, RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION? REMEMBER THE 01:01:53.545 --> 01:01:56.882 SMOKE ON THE WATER NIGHT? IT WAS SO FUNNY, BECAUSE LAST WEEK 01:01:56.882 --> 01:02:00.719 CHE AHN COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE ALL LIKE ROLLING OFF 01:02:00.719 --> 01:02:04.224 OUR SEATS. WE DID TELL HIM AT LUNCH AFTER WHAT HAPPENED, BUT 01:02:04.224 --> 01:02:07.393 I THINK HE WAS COMPLETELY IN THE DARK WHEN HE MENTIONED 01:02:07.393 --> 01:02:10.230 THAT, AND I'M LIKE, NO WE TOOK THAT SONG BACK FROM 01:02:10.230 --> 01:02:13.065 THE CLUTCHES OF THE DEVIL. AND REALLY, IT WASN'T 01:02:13.065 --> 01:02:15.097 EVEN A DEMONIC SONG. I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING 01:02:15.097 --> 01:02:19.088 ABOUT THE BAND, BUT THE SONG WAS A SILLY SONG, IT REALLY WAS, BUT 01:02:19.088 --> 01:02:22.806 IT HAS A GOOD FEEL. SO WHEN PASTOR DID THAT, BUT I BELIEVE 01:02:22.806 --> 01:02:27.097 THAT NIGHT THERE WAS SUCH A SHIFT IN THE SPIRIT. PASTOR 01:02:27.097 --> 01:02:30.336 ANTHONY, HE AND HIS WIFE WERE ON VACATION TODAY, BUT HE LEANED 01:02:30.336 --> 01:02:32.556 OVER AND HE GOES, "ARE WE INTERCEDING IN THE SPIRIT TO 01:02:32.556 --> 01:02:37.987 SMOKE ON THE WATER RIGHT NOW?" I GO, "YES, WE ARE." OH, BUT LOOK 01:02:37.987 --> 01:02:41.137 WHAT HAPPENED, AND I BELIEVE, COME ON, WHEN WE GATHER, FOLKS, 01:02:41.137 --> 01:02:44.197 THIS YEAR, OPENING THE HEAVENS, IT IS, I FEEL LIKE WE'RE GONNA 01:02:44.197 --> 01:02:49.327 SHIFT SOMETHING IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT. SO DON'T STAY HOME. 01:02:49.327 --> 01:02:51.445 COME ON, GIVE A HAND IF YOU'RE EXCITED FOR IT. 01:02:51.445 --> 01:02:53.565 (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) 01:02:53.565 --> 01:02:55.684 ALL RIGHT, WELL, PRAISE THE LORD. I WANNA QUICKLY GET OUR 01:02:55.686 --> 01:02:59.467 OFFERING SCRIPTURE UP FOR TODAY. AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE 01:02:59.467 --> 01:03:01.686 APPROPRIATE JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE OFFERING NUGGET I'M GONNA 01:03:01.686 --> 01:03:06.186 READ IT FROM THE STORY OF PALM SUNDAY. BUT THIS IS, YOU KNOW, 01:03:06.186 --> 01:03:10.777 JESUS' TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM IS IN ALL OF THE FOUR 01:03:10.777 --> 01:03:13.626 GOSPELS, AND EACH OF THEM HIGHLIGHTS A FEW THINGS A LITTLE 01:03:13.626 --> 01:03:19.206 BIT DIFFERENTLY. BUT I LOVE THIS PART. AND GO TO, GUYS, IF YOU 01:03:19.206 --> 01:03:23.016 WILL, GO TO VERSE 33. I WON'T READ THE WHOLE PASSAGE. BUT IT 01:03:23.016 --> 01:03:26.137 SAYS, REMEMBER THAT JESUS SAID, NOW GO FIND THIS LITTLE DONKEY, 01:03:26.137 --> 01:03:31.478 THIS LITTLE COLT, AND UNTIE HIM AND BRING HIM, RIGHT? AND IF 01:03:31.478 --> 01:03:36.483 ANYBODY ASKS YOU, RIGHT? WHAT YOU'RE DOING, WELL THIS 01:03:36.483 --> 01:03:39.985 IS WHAT YOU'LL SAY. IT SAYS, "SO AS THEY WERE LOOSING THE COLT, 01:03:39.985 --> 01:03:43.322 THE OWNERS," OKAY THIS WAS THE OWNER. LIKE, THIS WOULD BE LIKE 01:03:43.322 --> 01:03:47.327 PICTURING SOMEBODY COMING AND TAKING YOUR CAR AND JUST GOING 01:03:47.327 --> 01:03:51.164 AWAY WITH IT, AND YOU'RE LIKE "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" 01:03:51.164 --> 01:03:54.067 AND IT HAD TO BE TOTALLY SUPERNATURAL FOR THEM 01:03:54.067 --> 01:03:56.827 NOT TO PROTEST, RIGHT? THEY DIDN'T GIVE THEM ANY GRIEF, 01:03:56.827 --> 01:04:00.126 NOTHING LIKE THAT. SO THE OWNER SAID, "WHY ARE YOU LOSING THE 01:04:00.126 --> 01:04:03.996 CULT?" LOOK AT THE NEXT VERSE. THIS JUST HIGHLIGHTED TO ME, 01:04:03.996 --> 01:04:09.726 VERSE 34. AND THEY SAID, THIS IS THE SIMPLE STATEMENT JESUS GAVE 01:04:09.726 --> 01:04:15.521 THEM TO SAY. NOTHING ELSE, NO EXPLANATION, NO BIG, YOU KNOW, 01:04:15.521 --> 01:04:20.193 TRYING TO JUSTIFY, NOTHING. HE JUST SIMPLY SAID, YOU SAY, "THE 01:04:20.193 --> 01:04:24.030 LORD HAS NEED OF HIM." AND I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. I THOUGHT, 01:04:24.030 --> 01:04:30.202 YOU KNOW, GOD, WE MUST NEVER FORGET THAT GOD NEEDS US. NOW 01:04:30.202 --> 01:04:31.871 YOU COULD SAY, WELL GOD DOESN'T REALLY NEED US. NO, 01:04:31.871 --> 01:04:37.710 BUT HE'S CHOSEN TO. HE'S CHOSEN TO PARTNER WITH US. GOD IS NOT 01:04:37.710 --> 01:04:43.382 ENACTING HIS PLAN AND AGENDA ON THE EARTH OUTSIDE OF YOU AND ME. 01:04:43.382 --> 01:04:48.876 HE CHOSE TO USE US IN MULTIPLE WAYS TO BE PART OF HIS PLAN. 01:04:48.876 --> 01:04:52.146 THAT WAS WHAT IT WAS ABOUT WITH ABRAHAM. GOD WAS JUST LOOKING 01:04:52.146 --> 01:04:56.887 FOR A MAN, OR IN THAT CASE IT WAS ABRAHAM OR ABRAM, TO GET IN 01:04:56.887 --> 01:05:00.817 AGREEMENT WITH HIS AGENDA AND HELP HIM CARRY IT OUT IN THE 01:05:00.817 --> 01:05:06.516 EARTH. YOU KNOW, YOU ARE, THE BIBLE CALLS US JOINT HEIRS, 01:05:06.516 --> 01:05:12.246 RIGHT? WE ARE CO-LABORERS WITH GOD IN THE EARTH. SO UNDERSTAND 01:05:12.246 --> 01:05:17.797 THAT GOD HAS NEED OF YOU AND ME. SO DON'T EVER TELL YOURSELF 01:05:17.797 --> 01:05:21.456 YOU'RE A FAILURE. IN FACT, WHEN WE WERE PRAYING OVER THE GROUP 01:05:21.456 --> 01:05:24.423 THAT WAS COMING THROUGH, ONE OF THE THINGS I FELT LIKE WHEN 01:05:24.423 --> 01:05:26.927 I WAS STANDING OVER THERE IS TO PRAY AGAINST 01:05:26.927 --> 01:05:29.262 PEOPLE THAT DEAL WITH A DEMONIC SPIRIT OF 01:05:29.262 --> 01:05:33.099 FAILURE. DON'T EVER RESORT TO THE IDEA, WELL, 01:05:33.099 --> 01:05:36.007 I'M JUST A FAILURE, I'LL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH, GOD CAN'T USE ME 01:05:36.007 --> 01:05:39.498 FOR THESE REASONS. MOSES DID THAT. HE TRIED TO SAY, GOD, I 01:05:39.498 --> 01:05:42.996 CAN'T TALK WELL. AND GOD WAS LIKE, WELL, WHATEVER, WHO MADE 01:05:42.996 --> 01:05:47.916 YOUR MOUTH? RIGHT? SO AT THE END OF THE DAY, DON'T JUST RESORT TO 01:05:47.916 --> 01:05:52.177 NOT HAVING PURPOSE. GOD HAS A NEED OF YOU AND I, NO MATTER HOW 01:05:52.177 --> 01:05:55.836 YOUNG WE ARE, OLD WE ARE. GOD TOLD, OR PAUL TOLD TIMOTHY, 01:05:55.836 --> 01:05:58.958 DON'T LET ANYBODY PUT DOWN YOUR YOUTHFUL AGE. 01:05:58.958 --> 01:06:02.461 OKAY, BUT BE DILIGENT TO DO THESE THINGS, OKAY? 01:06:02.461 --> 01:06:04.463 THE BIBLE SAYS OF THE OLD MEN AND WOMEN, HE SAID, 01:06:04.463 --> 01:06:07.777 "YOU'VE KNOWN HIM FROM THE BEGINNING." GOD HAS NEED OF 01:06:07.777 --> 01:06:11.856 YOU AND I ON THIS EARTH. WELL, THAT MEANS, WHEN IT COMES TO OUR 01:06:11.856 --> 01:06:16.327 GIVING, HE HAS NEED OF OUR GIVING. OKAY? IT'S THE GIVING OF 01:06:16.327 --> 01:06:20.376 GOD'S PEOPLE THAT IS CAUSING THE GOSPEL TO GO FORWARD IN THE 01:06:20.376 --> 01:06:22.806 EARTH. YOU KNOW, ALL THE NAYSAYERS ARE LIKE, "WELL, YOU 01:06:22.806 --> 01:06:24.817 KNOW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE TO THE CHURCH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO 01:06:24.817 --> 01:06:28.117 TITHE." I'VE HEARD THESE THINGS FOR YEARS. I KNOW YOU HAVE TOO. 01:06:28.117 --> 01:06:31.956 BUT THEN I THINK, WELL THEN, YOU KNOW, I MEAN WE DROVE UP THIS 01:06:31.956 --> 01:06:35.976 MORNING AS WE CAME INTO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, AND I 01:06:35.976 --> 01:06:37.927 SAID, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS JUST LIKE TO DRIVE RIGHT THERE 'CAUSE 01:06:37.927 --> 01:06:41.527 I LIKE TO SEE HOW GOD HAS BLESSED ALL OF US. AND I 01:06:41.527 --> 01:06:44.766 THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, AND YOU KNOW, I'M SURE THERE'S PEOPLE THAT 01:06:44.766 --> 01:06:47.556 DIDN'T WANT A GREAT BIG OLD CHURCH JUST BEING STUCK IN THE 01:06:47.556 --> 01:06:50.527 MIDDLE OF MILLARD AVENUE. YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE NOT EVERYBODY'S A 01:06:50.527 --> 01:06:53.226 FRIEND OF THE GOSPEL, IT'S NO SURPRISE, RIGHT? BUT THEN I 01:06:53.226 --> 01:06:56.556 THOUGHT TO MYSELF, "YEAH, BUT LOOK HOW THIS PLAZA LOOKED 01:06:56.556 --> 01:07:00.907 BEFORE WE CAME." I MEAN, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE FROM HERE, YOU 01:07:00.907 --> 01:07:04.777 KNOW IT LOOKED PRETTY POOR. IT WAS A DILAPIDATED OLD CENTER 01:07:04.777 --> 01:07:07.927 JUST FALLING APART. AND I THOUGHT, "BUT ISN'T THAT HOW THE 01:07:07.927 --> 01:07:10.657 DEVIL IS? HE'LL LIE TO PEOPLE AND SAY, 'YOU WERE BETTER OFF IN 01:07:10.657 --> 01:07:15.869 THE TRASH DUMP, RIGHT, THAN TO HAVE SOMETHING BE BEAUTIFIED." 01:07:15.869 --> 01:07:19.873 WELL, GOD HAS NEED OF OUR GIVING SO THAT WE CAN MAKE AN IMPRINT 01:07:19.873 --> 01:07:23.670 IN THIS EARTH. RIGHT NOW, THIS VERY MOMENT, THERE ARE THOUSANDS 01:07:23.675 --> 01:07:27.847 OF PEOPLE THAT ARE JOINING US ON ALL THE PLATFORMS. WE ARE MAKING 01:07:27.847 --> 01:07:32.047 AN IMPRINT IN OTHER COUNTRIES. YOU KNOW, YOUR GIVING IS 01:07:32.047 --> 01:07:36.246 MISSIONS IN THE FACT THAT YOU'RE JUST ON CAMERA. AND THERE'S 01:07:36.246 --> 01:07:40.686 SOMEBODY AS PASTOR WAS HOLDING HIS PHONE TODAY AND WALKING 01:07:40.686 --> 01:07:44.016 THROUGH REPRESENTING THE ONLINE GROUP THAT ARE GOING TO GET A 01:07:44.016 --> 01:07:46.393 MIRACLE THAT ARE WALKING IN THE MIDDLE OF, COME ON, 01:07:46.393 --> 01:07:50.903 SOMEBODY. THEY'RE WALKING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BREAKTHROUGH 01:07:50.903 --> 01:07:55.202 IN THEIR LIFE JUST BECAUSE WE TOOK OUR TITHES AND 01:07:55.206 --> 01:07:59.286 OUR OFFERINGS AND SAID, AND THE LORD HAD NEED OF IT. THINK ABOUT 01:07:59.286 --> 01:08:03.936 THAT. SO WHEN YOU GIVE, NOTICE, YOU KNOW, WE TEACH A LOT ABOUT 01:08:03.936 --> 01:08:06.847 THE BLESSINGS OF GIVING AND GOD WILL GIVE BACK TO YOU AND 01:08:06.847 --> 01:08:10.027 MULTIPLY YOUR SEEDS. SO IN ALL OF THOSE ARE IN THE BIBLE AND 01:08:10.027 --> 01:08:13.686 THEY'RE IMPORTANT. THEY'RE IMPORTANT. BUT REMEMBER AT THE 01:08:13.686 --> 01:08:18.186 END OF THE DAY, GOD HAS NEED OF YOUR GIVING. THINK ABOUT IN THE 01:08:18.186 --> 01:08:21.606 BOOK OF MALACHI, ALL OF US IN THE ROOM PROBABLY CAN QUOTE THE 01:08:21.606 --> 01:08:25.747 PASSAGE ON TITHES AND OFFERINGS, MALACHI 3. BUT IT SAYS THAT 01:08:25.747 --> 01:08:28.627 THERE MIGHT BE MEAT IN MY HOUSE. IN OTHER WORDS, THAT'S GOD'S OLD 01:08:28.627 --> 01:08:33.877 TESTAMENT WORD OF SAYING, I HAVE NEED OF THE COLT. I HAVE NEED. 01:08:33.877 --> 01:08:37.957 THE MASTER HATH NEED OF IT. BUT HERE'S WHAT WAS AMAZING TO ME, 01:08:37.957 --> 01:08:40.987 AND I WAS READING THIS THIS MORNING IN MY BIBLE, AND I'M SO 01:08:40.987 --> 01:08:44.466 GLAD THAT NOBODY QUESTIONED IT. THE OWNER OF THE COLT DIDN'T GO, 01:08:44.466 --> 01:08:48.037 "WELL, THAT'S MY COLT. I PAID SO MANY SHEKELS FOR THAT COLT, HOW 01:08:48.037 --> 01:08:51.726 DARE YOU?" AND IT HIT ME, AND THE LORD REMINDED ME, 'CAUSE IT 01:08:51.726 --> 01:08:55.837 WAS SUPERNATURAL. WHEN WE RESORT TO THE FACT, YOU KNOW, THE 01:08:55.837 --> 01:08:58.837 DISCIPLES WOULD GO, "WELL, JESUS, THEY'RE GONNA ARGUE." 01:08:58.837 --> 01:09:02.738 THEY JUST SAID, "OKAY." AND THEY REALIZED AND THEY TRUSTED THAT 01:09:02.738 --> 01:09:04.867 IF GOD SAID HE HAD NEEDED SOMETHING, ALL THEY HAD TO DO 01:09:04.867 --> 01:09:08.377 WAS RESPOND. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? GOD TOOK CARE OF THE REST. AND 01:09:08.377 --> 01:09:11.407 THOSE PEOPLE LET THAT COLT GO ON. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WERE 01:09:11.407 --> 01:09:13.146 STANDING THERE WITH A PALM BRANCH GOING, "THAT'S MY 01:09:13.146 --> 01:09:16.488 DONKEY." I MEAN, MAYBE THEY WERE, I DON'T KNOW. IT COULD 01:09:16.488 --> 01:09:20.947 HAVE BEEN. BUT THE POINT IS THE LORD HAD NEED OF IT. AND SO GOD 01:09:20.947 --> 01:09:24.127 HAS NEED OF YOU TODAY. HE HAS NEED OF YOUR GIVING. DON'T 01:09:24.127 --> 01:09:28.716 RELENT AND LET THE DEVIL TALK YOU OUT OF WHAT GOD HAS. THAT 01:09:28.716 --> 01:09:32.646 SUPERNATURAL MOMENT OF THAT CULT THAT THEY TOOK 'CAUSE THE LORD 01:09:32.646 --> 01:09:35.197 HAD NEED, AND THAT'S ALL THE WORD THEY NEEDED, AND GOD TOOK 01:09:35.197 --> 01:09:38.646 CARE OF THE REST. COME ON SOMEBODY, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL 01:09:38.646 --> 01:09:43.327 ABOUT. GOD HAS NEED OF IT. HALLELUJAH! ALL RIGHT, WELL, 01:09:43.327 --> 01:09:47.016 IT'S ALSO, IT'S PASSOVER GIVING TIME, SO WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY. 01:09:47.016 --> 01:09:51.667 THERE IS AN OFFERING ENVELOPE ON YOUR CHAIR AND ON THE DROP DOWN. 01:09:51.667 --> 01:09:54.756 AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS 01:09:54.756 --> 01:09:58.806 RIGHT NOW, THAT FEAST GIVING TIME WAS THE LORD HAD NEED OF 01:09:58.806 --> 01:10:02.646 IT. AND YOU'VE HEARD ME TEACH ON THAT MANY TIMES. I DON'T EVEN 01:10:02.646 --> 01:10:06.216 HAVE TO GO INTO ALL OF THE TOPICS ON FEAST GIVING. PASSOVER 01:10:06.216 --> 01:10:09.396 PENTECOST TABERNACLES WAS A TIME THAT GOD WANTED THEM TO 01:10:09.396 --> 01:10:13.266 COMMEMORATE. HOW MANY REMEMBER THAT? AND THEIR GIVING WAS TO 01:10:13.266 --> 01:10:17.737 CAUSE THEM TO DO THAT. THE LORD HAD NEED OF IT UNDER THE OLD 01:10:17.737 --> 01:10:21.697 COVENANT BECAUSE GOD KNEW IT WOULD BE A FULFILLMENT UNDER THE 01:10:21.697 --> 01:10:25.716 NEW. SO HE WANTED TO MARKET. THAT'S WHY WHEN THE LORD SAYS HE 01:10:25.716 --> 01:10:29.556 HAS NEED OF SOMETHING, WHETHER IT'S A FEAST OFFERING OR 01:10:29.556 --> 01:10:33.907 WHATEVER IT IS, SERVICE TO THE LORD, ALWAYS RESPOND. GOD HAD 01:10:33.907 --> 01:10:37.908 ISRAEL DO THAT BECAUSE HE HAD NEED OF IT FOR A REASON. SO IT'S 01:10:37.908 --> 01:10:40.356 PASSOVER GIVING TIME. THIS IS WHERE WE GIVE A SPECIAL 01:10:40.356 --> 01:10:43.356 OFFERING. GOD TOLD US THIS WAS A SEASON NEVER TO COME BEFORE HIM 01:10:43.356 --> 01:10:49.117 EMPTY. DEUTERONOMY 16 AND 16.

AND I BELIEVE IN ALL MY HEART 01:19:52.125 --> 01:19:55.127 AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF HIM AND HIS HEART, I THINK HE WOULD 01:19:55.127 --> 01:19:58.465 REALLY LIKE IT IF WE TAKE A MOMENT TO JUST GET IN THE 01:19:58.465 --> 01:20:02.969 SCRIPTURES AND REALLY READ ABOUT THE AMAZING ACT OF LOVE 01:20:02.969 --> 01:20:06.139 THAT HE GAVE TO US. AND I KNOW I HAVE BEEN AND 01:20:06.139 --> 01:20:08.762 IT'S TOUCHED MY HEART EVERY TIME. AND I JUST, 01:20:08.762 --> 01:20:11.193 I'LL STOP READING AND I'LL LOOK UP AND I'LL SAY, YOU KNOW 01:20:11.193 --> 01:20:16.052 YESHUA, THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE.

NOW 01:20:19.141 --> 01:20:21.784 LET'S LOOK HERE 'CAUSE I WANNA BASE MY FOUNDATION OF WHAT I'M 01:20:21.784 --> 01:20:24.186 GONNA SAY TO YOU OFF OF THIS SCRIPTURE. WE'RE GONNA TALK 01:20:24.186 --> 01:20:27.512 ABOUT THE LORD OF THE COUNTER. NOW YOU SAY, WELL, WHAT DOES 01:20:27.512 --> 01:20:32.832 COUNTER MEAN? COUNTER MEANS TO BRING AN ACTION THAT IS IN 01:20:32.832 --> 01:20:38.337 OPPOSITION. TO RETALIATE, TO NULLIFY, RESPOND AND TO OPPOSE. 01:20:38.337 --> 01:20:41.841 SO NOW, NOTICE THE SCRIPTURE, BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THE LORD OF 01:20:41.841 --> 01:20:45.011 THE COUNTER. "SO SHALL THEY FEAR THE NAME OF THE LORD FROM 01:20:45.011 --> 01:20:49.015 THE WEST, AND HIS GLORY FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN. WHEN THE 01:20:49.015 --> 01:20:52.185 ENEMY SHALL COME IN," NOW YOU NEED TO STOP. "WHEN THE ENEMY 01:20:52.185 --> 01:20:56.523 SHALL COME IN." OFTENTIMES, THE ENEMY MAY COME IN BUT REALLY, 01:20:56.523 --> 01:20:59.823 I'VE BEEN TOLD IN THE ORIGINAL WRITING IS WHEN THE 01:20:59.823 --> 01:21:04.783 ENEMY SHALL COME IN, PAUSE, STOP, WATCH GOD'S COUNTER, WATCH 01:21:04.783 --> 01:21:08.233 GOD'S RESPONSE. IT'S GREATER THAN THE ENEMY COMING IN. IT'S 01:21:08.233 --> 01:21:11.233 LIKE A FLOOD, THAT'S TALKING ABOUT THE LORD. THAT'S TALKING 01:21:11.233 --> 01:21:16.033 ABOUT THE LORD OF THE COUNTER, THE LORD WHO OPPOSES THE DEVIL, 01:21:16.033 --> 01:21:20.143 THE LORD WHO RETALIATES ON THE DEVIL, THE LORD WHO HAS VICTORY 01:21:20.143 --> 01:21:23.622 OVER THE DEVIL, JUST LIKE YOU DO. AND LIKE A FLOOD, GOD'S 01:21:23.622 --> 01:21:29.292 RESPONSE, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SHALL RAISE UP A COUNTER OR A 01:21:29.292 --> 01:21:32.953 STANDARD AGAINST HIM. NOW, I WANT YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TO 01:21:32.953 --> 01:21:35.382 LOOK UP HERE AT ME AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE LISTENING HERE. 01:21:35.382 --> 01:21:39.672 THIS IS WHAT PALM SUNDAY IS ABOUT. YES, IT'S ABOUT THE PALM 01:21:39.672 --> 01:21:45.103 BRANCHES, BUT IT'S ABOUT GOD COUNTERING THE PLAN OF THE ENEMY 01:21:45.103 --> 01:21:48.313 THROUGH WHAT IS CALLED A REDEMPTIVE PLAN. IN FACT, HOW 01:21:48.313 --> 01:21:51.193 MANY OF YOU, WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT IT HERE IN MATTHEW 21. SO I WANT 01:21:51.193 --> 01:21:54.136 YOU TO GO THERE IN MATTHEW 21. BUT AS YOU'RE GOING TO MATTHEW 01:21:54.136 --> 01:21:57.582 21, I WANT YOU TO SEE SOMETHING THAT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT. I'VE 01:21:57.582 --> 01:22:01.962 SHOWED THESE PICTURES BEFORE OF THE DONKEY, OF HOW EVEN THE VERY 01:22:01.962 --> 01:22:07.483 DONKEY ON THE BACK OF THE DONKEY THAT JESUS RODE IN ON, YOU CAN 01:22:07.483 --> 01:22:11.082 SEE THE CROSS, YOU CAN SEE THE PLAN OF REDEMPTION, YOU CAN SEE 01:22:11.082 --> 01:22:17.262 THE LORD WHO IS COUNTERING ALL OF THE CURSE OF SIN, OF EVIL, 01:22:17.262 --> 01:22:21.403 SICKNESS, DISEASE, RIGHT? EVERYTHING THAT THE CURSE 01:22:21.403 --> 01:22:24.342 REPRESENTED, EVERYTHING THAT THE ENEMY WHO COMES TO STEAL, KILL, 01:22:24.342 --> 01:22:28.002 AND DESTROY REPRESENTS. JESUS EVEN SAID IT IN JOHN 10. YOU 01:22:28.002 --> 01:22:30.222 WANNA SEE THE LORD OF THE COUNTER? HE SAYS, "THE DEVIL 01:22:30.222 --> 01:22:34.363 STEALS, KILLS, AND DESTROYS." BUT THEN JESUS SAYS, "BUT," 01:22:34.363 --> 01:22:37.722 HERE'S THE COUNTER, "I'VE COME TO GIVE YOU LIFE AND LIFE MORE 01:22:37.722 --> 01:22:40.292 ABUNDANTLY." SHOW THOSE PICTURES OF THE DONKEY'S BACK. 01:22:40.292 --> 01:22:43.130 THIS LITERALLY, DID YOU EVER NOTICE ON THE BACK OF A DONKEY 01:22:43.130 --> 01:22:48.135 IS A CROSS? BECAUSE JESUS RODE IN ON A DONKEY THAT HAD A CROSS 01:22:48.135 --> 01:22:53.806 JUST LIKE THAT TO SHOW THAT HE WAS COMING TO REDEEM 01:22:53.806 --> 01:22:58.811 US FROM OUR TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE SIN NATURE AND LIFE. 01:22:58.811 --> 01:23:02.563 AND SO EVEN THAT IS AMAZING. SO WE'RE GONNA TALK 01:23:02.563 --> 01:23:05.863 ABOUT THAT. LOOK AT MATTHEW CHAPTER 21. "NOW WHEN THEY DREW 01:23:05.863 --> 01:23:11.353 NEAR TO JERUSALEM "AND THEY CAME TO BETHPHAGE AT THE MOUNT OF 01:23:11.353 --> 01:23:16.002 OLIVES, "JESUS SENT," UNDERLINE THIS, "TWO DISCIPLES." AND 01:23:16.002 --> 01:23:18.582 THAT'S VERY, VERY IMPORTANT 'CAUSE THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURE YOU 01:23:18.582 --> 01:23:24.103 SEE THE NUMBER TWO VERY OFTEN. AND A LOT OF TIMES TOO IS 01:23:24.103 --> 01:23:29.052 COVENANT AGREEMENT, BUT IT ALSO REPRESENTS GOD IS TRYING TO SHOW 01:23:29.052 --> 01:23:33.372 THE BLESSING OF SOMETHING AND HOW THAT BLESSING OPPOSES THE 01:23:33.372 --> 01:23:36.523 OTHER. RIGHT, REMEMBER THERE WERE TWO MOUNTAINS, THEY WOULD 01:23:36.523 --> 01:23:40.332 GET UP ON THE ONE MOUNTAIN AND THEY WOULD DECLARE THE BLESSING. 01:23:40.332 --> 01:23:43.962 WHAT WERE THEY THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE? THEY WERE SHOWING WHAT THE 01:23:43.962 --> 01:23:48.882 BLESSING WAS TO OVERCOME AND WHAT IT WAS IN OPPOSITION TO ON 01:23:48.882 --> 01:23:52.453 THE OTHER MOUNTAIN, THEY WOULD SPEAK THE CURSES, RIGHT? DON'T 01:23:52.453 --> 01:24:00.132 SPEAK CURSES. LET YOUR WORDS OPPOSE EVIL. LET YOUR WORDS 01:24:00.132 --> 01:24:03.792 OPPOSE WHAT JESUS PAID FOR. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU GOT 01:24:03.792 --> 01:24:06.403 THAT SYMPTOM THAT COMES UP IN YOUR BODY, RIGHT? MAYBE YOU'VE 01:24:06.403 --> 01:24:11.382 GOT A PAIN IN YOUR KNEES OR SOMETHING. OPPOSE IT. LET THE 01:24:11.382 --> 01:24:15.523 LORD OF THE COUNTER, JESUS WENT TO THE CROSS AND THE BIBLE SAYS, 01:24:15.523 --> 01:24:17.863 WE'RE GONNA LOOK IN ISAIAH 53, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE 01:24:17.863 --> 01:24:21.643 WATCHING, HE BORE, HE TOOK YOUR PAINS. SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE 01:24:21.643 --> 01:24:25.422 PAIN IN YOUR BODY. YOU CAN SPEAK TO THAT AND SAY, I OPPOSE THAT, 01:24:25.422 --> 01:24:29.832 THE LORD OF THE COUNTER. JESUS TOOK THIS. BUT YOU GOTTA SPEAK 01:24:29.832 --> 01:24:32.233 TO IT, JUST LIKE THEY DID ON THAT MOUNTAIN. AND YOU GOTTA 01:24:32.233 --> 01:24:37.002 SPEAK TOWARDS THE CURSE. AS YOU COUNTER IT, THAT'S WHAT PALM 01:24:37.002 --> 01:24:40.302 SUNDAY IS. IT'S ABOUT THIS COUNTERING, THE OPPOSING, 01:24:40.302 --> 01:24:43.225 THE RETALIATING OF GOD AGAINST THE ENEMY ON 01:24:43.225 --> 01:24:47.087 YOUR BEHALF, RIGHT? THAT'S WHY THE DONKEY HAD A CROSS 01:24:47.087 --> 01:24:49.212 ON IT. IT WAS ALL FOR YOUR BEHALF. AND BY THE WAY, YOU 01:24:49.212 --> 01:24:51.853 COULD READ IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY THAT A DONKEY WAS 01:24:51.853 --> 01:24:56.429 THE ONLY THING THAT WAS REDEEMED OUTSIDE OF MANKIND BY A LAMB. 01:24:56.429 --> 01:24:59.143 THERE'S A WHOLE ‘NOTHER MESSAGE IN THAT. MAYBE I'LL PREACH ON 01:24:59.143 --> 01:25:02.682 THAT NEXT YEAR, BUT IT'S JUST, IT'S IN DEPTH. BUT SAYING TO 01:25:02.682 --> 01:25:05.292 THESE TWO DISCIPLES, GO INTO THE VILLAGE OPPOSITE YOU AND 01:25:05.292 --> 01:25:08.108 IMMEDIATELY, WATCH THIS, YOU'RE GONNA SEE TWO AGAIN, YOU'RE 01:25:08.108 --> 01:25:12.279 GONNA SEE A DONKEY TIED AND A COLT WITH HER. SO YOU SEE A 01:25:12.279 --> 01:25:15.448 DONKEY, YOU SEE A MAMA DONKEY, AND YOU SEE HER COLT. IN FACT, 01:25:15.448 --> 01:25:18.451 IT REMINDS ME, I THOUGHT I SAW JANELLE HERE, SHE TRAINS 01:25:18.451 --> 01:25:22.122 BEAUTIFUL HORSES. OH, THERE YOU ARE. HEY STAND UP. STAND UP 01:25:22.122 --> 01:25:27.127 PLEASE JANELLE. I AM FASCINATED BY WHAT YOU DO. I'M SERIOUS. 01:25:27.127 --> 01:25:30.130 SO, I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT WHAT SHE DOES. SHOW US PICTURES. 01:25:30.130 --> 01:25:32.353 THIS IS WHAT SHE DOES, SHE TRAINS THESE BEAUTIFUL 01:25:32.353 --> 01:25:35.533 HORSES. AND WHAT ARE THEY AGAIN, WHAT KIND ARE THEY? ARABIAN, OH, 01:25:35.533 --> 01:25:38.082 THEY'RE ARABIANS. LOOK AT HER, THAT'S HER, I MEAN, THAT IS SO 01:25:38.082 --> 01:25:41.261 FASCINATING. AND JESUS SAID, "WE'RE GONNA RIDE BACK ON A 01:25:41.261 --> 01:25:44.412 HORSE." SO I NEED YOU TO HELP TRAIN ME BEFORE, YOU KNOW, I 01:25:44.412 --> 01:25:47.412 DON'T WANNA BE THE ONLY ONE LEFT BEHIND UP IN HEAVEN, YOU KNOW, I 01:25:47.412 --> 01:25:49.752 NEED YOU TO HELP ME. THANK YOU FOR STANDING, BUT LOOK AT THAT 01:25:49.752 --> 01:25:54.552 ONE, THAT IS A GORGEOUS HORSE. I BET SHE COULD TEACH SOME OF US 01:25:54.552 --> 01:25:57.972 MEN HOW TO MOVE, MAYBE. NOW LOOK, I JUST HOLD THAT PICTURE. 01:25:57.972 --> 01:26:02.494 SO LOOK AT THAT. SHE TRAINED THAT MAMA AND THE LITTLE 01:26:02.494 --> 01:26:07.063 ARABIAN, WHAT DO THEY CALL THE LITTLE ONE? A FILLY. OH, SO IT'S 01:26:07.063 --> 01:26:10.112 FROM PHILADELPHIA. SO NO, I'M JUST, I'M MESSING, I'M MESSING, 01:26:10.112 --> 01:26:13.512 I'M MESSING. SO ANYWAY, HERE IT IS. BUT SO IT KIND OF GIVES YOU 01:26:13.512 --> 01:26:16.273 A PICTURE. I THOUGHT OF HER AND I JUST WANTED, YOU KNOW, AS I 01:26:16.273 --> 01:26:18.912 JUST READ THAT ABOUT THE MOTHER DONKEY AND THE LITTLE ONE, I 01:26:18.912 --> 01:26:20.893 THOUGHT OF YOU AND I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING. AND 01:26:20.893 --> 01:26:26.172 THAT BEAUTIFUL PICTURE, THAT IS JUST AMAZING. I WANT BOTH OF 01:26:26.172 --> 01:26:30.103 THEM, GOD. ALL RIGHT, BRENDA, I WANT A HORSE FOR CHRISTMAS. 01:26:30.103 --> 01:26:34.573 THAT'S WHAT I WANT, I WANT A HORSE FOR CHRISTMAS. MOM, I KNOW 01:26:34.573 --> 01:26:37.512 YOU'RE WATCHING. WE CALL HEALING OVER YOU TODAY, BY THE WAY. I 01:26:37.512 --> 01:26:41.622 KNOW, MOM, YOU NEVER GOT ME A HORSE AND I ALWAYS ASKED. SO, 01:26:41.622 --> 01:26:45.943 ALL RIGHT, NOW WATCH THIS. LOOSE THEM AND BRING THEM TO ME. AND 01:26:45.943 --> 01:26:50.983 IF ANYONE SAYS TO YOU, HEY, IN OTHER WORDS, YOU MIGHT GET SOME 01:26:50.983 --> 01:26:56.023 OPPOSITION, YOU MIGHT GET SOME COUNTERING IN RETURN. IF ANYONE 01:26:56.023 --> 01:26:59.832 SAYS ANYTHING TO YOU, YOU SHALL SAY THE LORD HAS NEED OF IT. AND 01:26:59.832 --> 01:27:02.143 IMMEDIATELY HE'LL SEND THEM. LET'S KEEP READING THROUGH THE 01:27:02.143 --> 01:27:05.893 STORY, THIS IS GREAT. AND ALL THIS WAS DONE THAT IT MIGHT BE 01:27:05.893 --> 01:27:10.302 FULFILLED, WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET SAYING, THIS IS SO 01:27:10.302 --> 01:27:14.832 POWERFUL, OH MY GOODNESS. TELL THE DAUGHTER OF ZION, BEHOLD, 01:27:14.832 --> 01:27:19.332 NOTICE THE WORD TO DESCRIBE JESUS. YOUR KING IS COME TO YOU 01:27:19.332 --> 01:27:23.563 LOWLY, SITTING ON A DONKEY, A COLT, THE FOAL OF A DONKEY. SO 01:27:23.563 --> 01:27:27.672 THE DISCIPLES WENT AND DID AS JESUS COMMANDED. NOTICE, TOO, 01:27:27.672 --> 01:27:30.372 AGAIN, THEY BROUGHT THE DONKEY AND THE COLT, THEY LAID THEIR 01:27:30.372 --> 01:27:33.853 CLOTHES ON THEM, THEY SET HIM ON THEM, AND A VERY GREAT 01:27:33.853 --> 01:27:37.512 MULTITUDE, JUST LIKE WE WERE DOING TODAY, BEGAN TO SPREAD 01:27:37.512 --> 01:27:39.792 THEIR CLOTHES ON THE ROAD, SO TO SPEAK. AND OTHERS CUT DOWN 01:27:39.792 --> 01:27:43.603 BRANCHES AND THEY BEGAN TO WAVE THEM. NOW NOTICE WHAT THEY SAID. 01:27:43.603 --> 01:27:46.603 THIS IS SO IMPORTANT 'CAUSE THIS IS PSALM 118. THEY HAD BEEN 01:27:46.603 --> 01:27:50.935 DOING THIS FOR YEARS. AND THE CRY OF THEIR HEART WAS, BLESSED 01:27:50.935 --> 01:27:54.283 IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD. HOSANNA, WHAT DOES 01:27:54.283 --> 01:27:57.762 THAT MEAN? THE LORD SAVES, THE LORD SAVES, THE LORD SAVES. MAN, 01:27:57.762 --> 01:28:01.542 WHEN WE WERE DOING THAT TODAY, WE WERE DECLARING EVERYTHING 01:28:01.542 --> 01:28:11.443 THAT JESUS PAID FOR THROUGH HIS SALVATION OF US AND FOR US HAS 01:28:11.443 --> 01:28:15.222 BEEN PROVIDED AND MANIFESTED, AND GOD MADE THE WAY AND HAS 01:28:15.222 --> 01:28:19.813 GONE BEFORE YOU. THAT'S WHY YOU KEEP YOUR WORDS RIGHT. YOU 01:28:19.813 --> 01:28:23.592 COUNTER, EVEN IF IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT. EVEN IF YOU'RE SITTING 01:28:23.592 --> 01:28:25.752 THERE RIGHT NOW OR YOU'RE WATCHING, AND YOU'RE LIKE, 01:28:25.752 --> 01:28:28.153 "WELL, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT. I DON'T FEEL ANYTHING 01:28:28.153 --> 01:28:33.222 DIFFERENT. COUNTER WITH YOUR WORDS. AND I'M TELLING YOU, THEY 01:28:33.222 --> 01:28:37.932 WERE DOING THIS FOR 2,000 YEARS AND IT FINALLY SHOWED UP. AND 01:28:37.932 --> 01:28:40.573 THE PROBLEM WAS, I'M GONNA SHOW YOU, THEY DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE 01:28:40.573 --> 01:28:46.092 IT. THEY DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE IT. HOW DO WE KNOW, PASTOR? KEEP 01:28:46.092 --> 01:28:49.993 READING. IN VERSE 10, "AND WHEN HE HAD COME INTO JERUSALEM, "ALL 01:28:49.993 --> 01:28:56.622 THE CITY WAS MOVED." AND HERE'S WHAT THEY SAID, "WHO IS THIS?" 01:28:56.622 --> 01:29:02.082 NOW, HE HAD BEEN PERFORMING MIRACLES. HE HAD BEEN AROUND 01:29:02.082 --> 01:29:05.832 JERUSALEM. HE HAD BEEN IN JERUSALEM. JESUS SPENT HIS 01:29:05.832 --> 01:29:09.372 MINISTRY MINISTERING, AND YET NOW THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO 01:29:09.372 --> 01:29:12.162 SAY, "WHO IS THIS?" BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT SHOULDN'T SURPRISE 01:29:12.162 --> 01:29:15.493 US. I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT JOHN CHAPTER 8. LOOK AT HOW MANY 01:29:15.493 --> 01:29:19.903 TIMES THEY WOULD SAY THIS ABOUT JESUS. THEY CONSTANTLY WOULD 01:29:19.903 --> 01:29:24.193 ARGUE OVER THE IDENTITY OF WHO JESUS IS. THAT'S WHY I DON'T GET 01:29:24.193 --> 01:29:28.332 INTO ARGUMENTS WITH PEOPLE. I JUST TELL THEM WHAT JESUS SAID 01:29:28.332 --> 01:29:31.542 ABOUT HIMSELF, WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, AND I LET THAT 01:29:31.542 --> 01:29:35.802 SPEAK. RIGHT, LOOK AT JOHN CHAPTER 8. THEN THEY SAID UNTO 01:29:35.802 --> 01:29:40.542 HIM, WHO ARE YOU? JUST LIKE, AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, EVEN THE 01:29:40.542 --> 01:29:43.453 SAME THAT I SAID TO YOU FROM THE BEGINNING, I'VE BEEN TELLING 01:29:43.453 --> 01:29:46.993 YOU, I AM. AND THEY'RE LIKE, WELL, YOU'RE USING THE NAME OF 01:29:46.993 --> 01:29:50.353 GOD, I AM. AND THAT'S WHAT HE SAID, I AM. I AM THE BREAD OF 01:29:50.353 --> 01:29:54.972 LIFE. I AM YOUR GOOD SHEPHERD. I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. I 01:29:54.972 --> 01:29:57.643 MEAN, HOW MANY MORE TIMES DO I NEED TO SAY IT TO YOU? AND THEN 01:29:57.643 --> 01:30:00.703 JESUS GETS IN THIS DISCOURSE, AND I'M ACTUALLY WRITING THIS IN 01:30:00.703 --> 01:30:03.613 MY BOOK THAT I'M ALMOST DONE WITH CALLED BECOMING A FRIEND OF 01:30:03.613 --> 01:30:06.462 GOD, WHERE I TALK ABOUT TWO FATHERS. YOU HAVE YOUR HEAVENLY 01:30:06.462 --> 01:30:11.293 FATHER, AND THEN JESUS IN JOHN 8 POINTS OUT IN JOHN 8:44, 01:30:11.293 --> 01:30:15.012 HE SAYS, "YOU'RE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL." BUT LET'S READ ON, 01:30:15.012 --> 01:30:18.342 LOOK AT A FEW MORE EXAMPLES OF THE BOOK OF JOHN. LOOK AT JOHN 01:30:18.342 --> 01:30:22.783 8:53. THEY SAID THIS, THIS IS SO AMAZING. ARE YOU GREATER THAN 01:30:22.783 --> 01:30:25.962 OUR FATHER ABRAHAM? AND THAT'S WHEN JESUS SAYS, "MAN, YOU DON'T 01:30:25.962 --> 01:30:30.012 EVEN KNOW WHO I AM." WHICH IS DEAD AND THE PROPHETS ARE DEAD. 01:30:30.012 --> 01:30:35.712 WHO DO YOU MAKE YOURSELF OUT TO BE? LOOK AT JOHN 10, MAN, 01:30:35.712 --> 01:30:39.823 THEY'RE SO BOTHERED BY IT NOW. JOHN CHAPTER 10, VERSE 24. THEN 01:30:39.823 --> 01:30:43.033 CAME THE JEWS AROUND ABOUT HIM AND SAID, "HEY, HOW LONG ARE YOU 01:30:43.033 --> 01:30:45.972 GONNA MAKE US DOUBT?" IN OTHER WORDS, IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT WE 01:30:45.972 --> 01:30:52.302 DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE. HUH? THAT'D BE LIKE ME COMING EVERY 01:30:52.302 --> 01:30:55.243 WEEK SAYING, "PASTOR HANK, PASTOR HANK," AND THEN YOU POINT 01:30:55.243 --> 01:30:58.063 YOUR FINGER AT ME AND SAY, "TELL US PLAINLY, HOW LONG ARE YOU 01:30:58.063 --> 01:31:01.220 GONNA MAKE US DOUBT? "ARE YOU REALLY THE PASTOR?" I KNOW, 01:31:01.220 --> 01:31:03.552 MAYBE SOMETIMES THEY DON'T ACT LIKE IT WHEN THEY GOT A WIG ON, 01:31:03.552 --> 01:31:08.153 YOU KNOW, WITH LIKE A, YOU KNOW, AFRO AND, YOU KNOW. DON'T 01:31:08.153 --> 01:31:11.693 COMMENT, DON'T DO THE WOO, YOU KNOW WHERE I'M GOING. BUT HERE'S 01:31:11.693 --> 01:31:15.113 THE POINT. THEY KEPT WONDERING, WHO IS JESUS? NOW LET'S GO BACK 01:31:15.113 --> 01:31:20.212 HERE TO MATTHEW CHAPTER 21, VERSE 10, BECAUSE THE ANSWER IS, 01:31:20.212 --> 01:31:24.743 "THE MULTITUDE SAID, THIS IS JESUS, THE PROPHET FROM NAZARETH 01:31:24.743 --> 01:31:30.953 OF GALILEE. NOW WHY DID THEY SAY, WHO IS THIS? WHY OF ALL 01:31:30.953 --> 01:31:35.722 DAYS WOULD THEY SAY, WHO IS THIS? YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND 01:31:35.722 --> 01:31:39.262 WHAT WAS HAPPENING ON PALM SUNDAY. I'M JUST GONNA READ, I 01:31:39.262 --> 01:31:43.342 THINK I CAN DO A BETTER JOB TO JUST EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT HISTORY 01:31:43.342 --> 01:31:47.483 LITERALLY SAID, WHAT THE TRADITION AND THE CUSTOM WAS. SO 01:31:47.483 --> 01:31:51.922 THE MORNING OF PALM SUNDAY, THE HIGH PRIEST WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED 01:31:51.922 --> 01:31:57.563 OTHER YOUNGER, NOT AS HIGH RANKING PRIESTS, THEY WOULD 01:31:57.563 --> 01:32:00.472 MARCH LITERALLY FROM THE TEMPLE AND THEY WOULD GO THROUGH THE 01:32:00.472 --> 01:32:04.943 STREETS OF JERUSALEM AND THEY WOULD MARCH ALL THE WAY OUT TO 01:32:04.943 --> 01:32:09.023 THE CITY WALL. AND THERE WOULD BE PRIESTS THAT WOULD LINE THE 01:32:09.023 --> 01:32:13.042 STREETS TO GATHER THE PEOPLE TOGETHER. SO THE PRIEST WOULD 01:32:13.042 --> 01:32:16.943 SAY, ALL RIGHT, THIS IS THE MOMENT NOW, PALM SUNDAY, RIGHT? 01:32:16.943 --> 01:32:21.502 THAT WE ARE LITERALLY GOING TO GO UP TO BETHLEHEM 'CAUSE THAT'S 01:32:21.502 --> 01:32:24.953 WHERE YOU HAD TO GET THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB. ALL THE LAMBS 01:32:24.953 --> 01:32:28.012 WERE BORN ON THE OUTSIDE OF BETHLEHEM ON THE HILLSIDE, 01:32:28.012 --> 01:32:30.533 RIGHT? THEY HAD TO GET A LAMB THERE. AND THE LAMB THAT WOULD 01:32:30.533 --> 01:32:35.243 BE CHOSEN THAT YEAR, EVERY YEAR, THAT WAS, IT HAD TO BE WITHOUT 01:32:35.243 --> 01:32:38.632 SPOT, HAD TO BE WITHOUT BLEMISH, HAD TO BE A MALE. AND IT HAD TO 01:32:38.632 --> 01:32:42.113 BE BORN IN A MANGER OR A FEEDING TROUGH. AND SO THIS YEAR WAS NO 01:32:42.113 --> 01:32:45.412 DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE YEARS THAT WAS GOING TO, THEY WERE 01:32:45.412 --> 01:32:48.533 GONNA SACRIFICE THIS LITTLE LAMB, THE HIGH PRIEST WOULD 01:32:48.533 --> 01:32:54.412 LITERALLY GO UP TO BETHLEHEM TO GET THIS LAMB, AND THEN GUESS 01:32:54.412 --> 01:32:58.853 WHAT HE WOULD DO? IN THE MEANTIME, THE OTHER PRIESTS THAT 01:32:58.853 --> 01:33:01.042 WERE WITH HIM WOULD COME BACK WITH HIM, BUT OTHER PRIESTS 01:33:01.042 --> 01:33:03.712 WOULD GATHER ALL THESE MULTITUDES, AND THEY WOULD SAY, 01:33:03.712 --> 01:33:07.703 "CUT OFF THE BRANCHES, TAKE YOUR GARMENTS, GET READY, BECAUSE THE 01:33:07.703 --> 01:33:13.792 HIGH PRIEST IS COMING THIS YEAR. HE IS COMING WITH THE LITTLE 01:33:13.792 --> 01:33:18.893 LAMB THAT WAS BORN IN A MANGER. AND HE'S COMING AND HE'S RIDING 01:33:18.893 --> 01:33:23.092 ON A DONKEY. AND THE CITY GATE IS ABOUT TO OPEN. AND GUESS 01:33:23.092 --> 01:33:26.542 WHAT? THE BEGINNING OF THE COVERING OF YOUR SIN FOR ANOTHER 01:33:26.542 --> 01:33:31.523 YEAR IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE. BUT THIS YEAR IT WAS DIFFERENT, 01:33:31.523 --> 01:33:36.653 BECAUSE THE HIGH PRIEST WAS OVER THERE GATHERING THE LAMB FROM 01:33:36.653 --> 01:33:42.412 BETHLEHEM, THE MANGER, AND HERE COMES THE LAMB OF GOD. JESUS, 01:33:42.412 --> 01:33:49.252 THE LAMB OF GOD, THE TRUE LAMB, THE WORTHY LAMB, OUR LAMB. AND 01:33:49.252 --> 01:33:53.302 HE IS COMING, RIDING ON A DONKEY, JUST LIKE THE HIGH 01:33:53.302 --> 01:33:57.382 PRIEST, AND HE'S STANDING IN A PROPHETIC MOMENT OF WHAT HE'S 01:33:57.382 --> 01:34:03.052 GETTING READY AFTER HE SACRIFICES HIS BODY AS THE LAMB, 01:34:03.052 --> 01:34:07.073 SHEDS HIS BLOOD, AND HAS THE MOST GRUESOME, GRUESOME, 01:34:07.073 --> 01:34:12.832 GRUESOME TORTURE OF ANY HUMAN FOR US. AND HE'S ABOUT THEN TO 01:34:12.832 --> 01:34:18.983 ASCEND AFTER HE'S RESURRECTED AND CARRY HIS BLOOD AS THE LAMB 01:34:18.983 --> 01:34:25.332 OF GOD AND BE DECLARED THE HIGH PRIEST. WHERE OUR SINS ARE NOT 01:34:25.332 --> 01:34:29.502 JUST COVERED. AS FAR AS EAST IS TO THE WEST, THEY WILL BE 01:34:29.502 --> 01:34:34.173 REMEMBERED NO MORE. AND SO NOW JESUS IS RIDING IN ON THE 01:34:34.173 --> 01:34:38.677 DONKEY. THEY'RE EXPECTING THE HIGH PRIEST, AND HERE'S THIS 01:34:38.677 --> 01:34:45.351 JESUS GUY. AND HE IS THE LAMB, HE DIDN'T NEED TO CARRY ONE. 01:34:45.351 --> 01:34:49.582 AND THEY THROW OPEN THE CITY GATES JUST LIKE THEY DID 01:34:49.582 --> 01:34:54.533 EVERY YEAR. AND THIS TIME THEY SEE JESUS ACTING IN THE 01:34:54.533 --> 01:34:59.932 PROPHETIC ACT OF THE HIGH PRIEST THAT HE SHALL BECOME AS THE 01:34:59.932 --> 01:35:05.212 SACRIFICED LAMB. AND NOTICE THEIR RESPONSE. MATTHEW 21, 01:35:05.212 --> 01:35:12.378 VERSE 10, "WHO IS THIS?" IT DIDN'T MEET THEIR EXPECTATION. 01:35:12.378 --> 01:35:15.215 IT DIDN'T MEET THEIR TRADITION. THIS IS WHERE YOU HAVE TO BE 01:35:15.215 --> 01:35:22.221 CAREFUL. YOU CAN NOT SERVE GOD ACCORDING TO YOUR TRADITION. 01:35:22.221 --> 01:35:27.226 YOU CAN'T SERVE GOD BY YOUR RITUALS, BECAUSE JESUS WILL 01:35:27.226 --> 01:35:35.234 MESS THAT UP. I REMEMBER I HAD A HINDU WORSHIPING DOCTOR. HE 01:35:35.234 --> 01:35:37.738 MIGHT BE WATCHING. HE USED TO WATCH, I DON'T KNOW IF 01:35:37.738 --> 01:35:39.905 YOU STILL DO. AND I REMEMBER ONE DAY GOING 01:35:39.905 --> 01:35:42.292 TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND I HAD GIVEN THEM A DON'T 01:35:42.292 --> 01:35:45.082 LEAVE GOD ALONE BOOK THAT I WROTE. I TOLD THEM, I SAID, 01:35:45.082 --> 01:35:48.592 "READ THIS." AND WE WOULD GET IN DISCUSSIONS AND NOTHING THAT I 01:35:48.592 --> 01:35:54.143 WOULD EVER SAY TO THEM WOULD MAKE A DENT. AND ONE DAY THEY 01:35:54.143 --> 01:35:57.472 SAID, "WELL, YOU KNOW, "WE HAVE ALL THESE GODS." I SAID, "YOUR 01:35:57.472 --> 01:36:01.762 GODS MAKE ME NERVOUS." YOU KNOW, THEY GOT ARMS THAT ARE OUT OF 01:36:01.762 --> 01:36:06.143 THEIR HEADS AND THEIR EYES LIGHT UP AND SERPENT TONGUES. THEY 01:36:06.143 --> 01:36:09.443 SAID, "OH YEAH, WE SET UP RAISINS FOR ALL OF OUR GODS." I 01:36:09.443 --> 01:36:13.372 SAID, "REALLY?" AND THEY HAVE LIKE A MILLION GODS. AND SO I 01:36:13.372 --> 01:36:14.962 GAVE THEM, I SAID, "I WANT YOU TO READ THIS BOOK, DON'T LEAVE 01:36:14.962 --> 01:36:17.783 GOD ALONE." AND THEY SAID, "WELL, YOU KNOW, GOD IS LIKE AN 01:36:17.783 --> 01:36:22.342 ELEPHANT. "YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE BLIND AND YOU PUT AN ELEPHANT IN 01:36:22.342 --> 01:36:26.273 A ROOM "AND THE BLIND GUY WOULD TOUCH THE EARS, "THOSE THAT 01:36:26.273 --> 01:36:31.792 TOUCH THE EAR, THEY WOULD SAY, OH, GOD IS LIKE THIS EAR, BUT 01:36:31.792 --> 01:36:35.122 IT'S STILL AN ELEPHANT. OR GOD IS LIKE THE TRUNK, OR GOD IS 01:36:35.122 --> 01:36:38.483 LIKE THE TAIL. AND IT'S ALL THE SAME GOD. JUST LIKE ALL OF OUR 01:36:38.483 --> 01:36:41.932 GODS, IT'S ALL THE SAME. AND I SAID, "REALLY? "A BLIND GUY, 01:36:41.932 --> 01:36:44.212 HUH?" "OH YEAH, YEAH, YEAH." I SAID, "WELL, THE DIFFERENCE 01:36:44.212 --> 01:36:50.302 BETWEEN ME AND YOU IS "I ONCE WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE." AND 01:36:50.302 --> 01:36:52.972 GOD AIN'T LIKE THAT. HERE'S WHO HE IS. AND SO I HAND HIM THE 01:36:52.972 --> 01:36:55.823 BOOK, AND I SAID, "NOW I'M GONNA PRAY THAT JESUS IS GONNA AND I'M 01:36:55.823 --> 01:37:00.262 GONNA MAKE HIMSELF REAL TO YOU. THAT YOU WILL NO LONGER, LIKE 01:37:00.262 --> 01:37:03.983 THEY SAID, ASK WHO IS THIS, WHO IS HE? I SAID, I'M GONNA PRAY, 01:37:03.983 --> 01:37:05.632 DO YOU MIND IF I PRAY? AND WHEN I GOT DONE PRAYING, THEY SAID, 01:37:05.632 --> 01:37:09.412 HOW COME MY BODY IS SO HOT, IT FEELS LIKE FIRE? AND THEN THE 01:37:09.412 --> 01:37:12.233 ONE DOCTOR, I FELT LIKE ELECTRICITY GO THROUGH MY BODY, 01:37:12.233 --> 01:37:16.853 WHAT IS THIS? I SAID, IT'S GOD, IT'S JESUS. AND I PRAY THAT HE 01:37:16.853 --> 01:37:22.009 WILL MANIFEST HIMSELF. SO THEN, ABOUT 30 DAYS LATER, I CAME BACK 01:37:22.009 --> 01:37:23.510 BECAUSE I HAD MY ANNUAL PHYSICAL, YOU HAVE TO COME 01:37:23.510 --> 01:37:29.181 BACK. AND THEY'RE CRYING. I SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU CRYING 01:37:29.181 --> 01:37:32.853 FOR?" HE SAID, "COME, COME, COME. QUICK, QUICK, QUICK." 01:37:32.853 --> 01:37:35.855 AND THERE WAS A WHOLE LINE OF PEOPLE. MAN THIS IS GOOD 01:37:35.855 --> 01:37:38.358 SERVICE, DON'T HAVE TO WAIT, MAN. SO I GET BACK IN THE BACK 01:37:38.358 --> 01:37:39.693 AND THEY'RE CRYING. THEY SAID, "I GOTTA TELL YOU WHAT 01:37:39.693 --> 01:37:42.695 HAPPENED" AND THEY'RE SHAKING. I SAID, "WHAT HAPPENED?" THEY 01:37:42.695 --> 01:37:48.868 SAID, "WE WERE PUTTING OUT OUR RAISINS FOR OUR GODS, 01:37:48.868 --> 01:37:52.037 AND ONE DAY, AS I WAS PUTTING OUT THE RAISINS 01:37:52.037 --> 01:37:58.462 FOR OUR GODS. I SAT DOWN AND JESUS CHRIST WALKED IN 01:37:58.462 --> 01:38:08.512 MY ROOM. I SAID, "HUH?" AND HE SAT DOWN AND HE SAID, "I AM 01:38:08.512 --> 01:38:12.143 JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD. 01:38:12.143 --> 01:38:14.363 I AM YOUR SAVIOR AND I AM YOUR LORD. 01:38:14.363 --> 01:38:19.582 (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING) 01:38:19.582 --> 01:38:29.212 I SAID, WOW. SHE GOES, TELL ME MORE. AND I SAID, WHAT'S GOING 01:38:29.212 --> 01:38:32.932 ON WITH YOUR LIFE? SHE GOES, OH, I PUT RAISINS OUT FOR HIM. I 01:38:32.932 --> 01:38:34.643 WANT HIM TO COME AGAIN. I SAID, WELL, I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO 01:38:34.643 --> 01:38:37.493 PUT RAISINS OUT. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS JUST PUT YOUR HEART 01:38:37.493 --> 01:38:48.832 OUT. PUT YOUR HEART OUT, RIGHT? RIGHT? RIGHT? ISN'T THAT 01:38:48.832 --> 01:38:53.807 POWERFUL? SO THEY WERE GOING, WHO IS THIS? WHO IS THIS? BUT 01:38:53.807 --> 01:38:55.882 NOW I WANT YOU TO SEE SOMETHING BECAUSE THERE WAS SOMETHING 01:38:55.882 --> 01:39:00.052 GOING ON THAT WAS SO MAGNIFICENT. THERE WERE TWO 01:39:00.052 --> 01:39:03.863 PROCESSIONS GOING ON THAT DAY THAT HISTORY WILL TELL YOU. AND 01:39:03.863 --> 01:39:06.613 THIS IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS 01:39:06.613 --> 01:39:11.784 HAPPENING. SO, I WANT YOU TO SEE IN SCRIPTURE, THIS IS 01:39:11.784 --> 01:39:16.789 PROFOUND. THERE WERE TWO PROFESSIONS THAT WERE TAKING 01:39:16.789 --> 01:39:23.963 PLACE IN 30 AD. SO JESUS NOW WAS COMING IN TO THE EAST GATE, 01:39:23.963 --> 01:39:26.966 WHERE HE ALWAYS WENT. HE WAS ENTERING IN TOWARDS THE EAST 01:39:26.966 --> 01:39:33.139 GATE. AND THERE WAS SO MUCH NOISE, AND THERE WAS SO MUCH 01:39:33.139 --> 01:39:36.292 OF WHAT YOU GUYS WERE DOING, WAVING YOUR HANDS AND PUTTING 01:39:36.292 --> 01:39:38.993 THE PALM BRANCHES DOWN AND THEY WERE DECLARING, "HOSANNA, 01:39:38.993 --> 01:39:42.052 HOSANNA." IT WAS STIRRING UP THINGS. NOW YOU HAVE TO 01:39:42.052 --> 01:39:46.672 UNDERSTAND THERE WERE TWO THINGS THAT CAUSED THE OTHER PROCESSION 01:39:46.672 --> 01:39:50.363 TO HAPPEN ON THE WEST SIDE. SO YOU HAVE JESUS OVER HERE ON THE 01:39:50.363 --> 01:39:54.472 EAST, HE'S RIDING IN ON A DONKEY, AND ON THE WEST SIDE, 01:39:54.472 --> 01:40:00.172 NOW KEEP IN MIND, EAST, WEST. TWO KINGDOMS ARE COLLIDING. THE 01:40:00.172 --> 01:40:06.863 LORD OF THE COUNTER IS COMING AGAINST WHAT THE OTHER 01:40:06.863 --> 01:40:11.632 PROCESSION REPRESENTED. THAT WHICH WAS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HIM 01:40:11.632 --> 01:40:15.412 THROUGH, ARE YOU READY, THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT, AND THOSE THAT 01:40:15.412 --> 01:40:22.313 CONVINCED HIM TO BE OFFERED UP AS THE SACRIFICE. ARE YOU 01:40:22.313 --> 01:40:26.332 FOLLOWING ME? TWO PROCESSIONS, NOW WATCH. ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS 01:40:26.332 --> 01:40:32.903 PILATE. AND HE CAUGHT, THEY CAUGHT WIND. CAESAR AND ALL OF 01:40:32.903 --> 01:40:43.042 THIS, HEROD THAT THE JEWS WERE DECLARING SOMEONE AS THEIR KING. 01:40:43.042 --> 01:40:47.453 YOU COULD READ THAT IN JOHN CHAPTER 6. JESUS HAD TO ESCAPE 01:40:47.453 --> 01:40:50.302 BECAUSE HE SAID, IF I DON'T LEAVE RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE GONNA 01:40:50.302 --> 01:40:56.542 TRY TO MAKE ME KING. AND SO HE LEFT. SO THEY KNEW THAT, IT GOT 01:40:56.542 --> 01:40:58.462 BACK TO THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT, THAT'S WHY THEY HAD A 01:40:58.462 --> 01:41:01.733 PROCESSION. AND PILATE WAS RIDING IN ON, AND HISTORY SAYS 01:41:01.733 --> 01:41:06.563 ON THIS WHITE HORSE. WHAT ARE WE GONNA ALL RIDE IN ON? YEAH, AND 01:41:06.563 --> 01:41:11.363 IT SAYS THAT THE NOISE THAT WAS TRYING TO COUNTER JESUS AND THE 01:41:11.363 --> 01:41:17.234 WORSHIP FROM THE PEOPLE, THEY HAD THEIR SPEARS. HAVE YOU EVER 01:41:17.234 --> 01:41:19.663 HEARD THAT INTIMIDATION? LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE BRITISH, YOU WOULD 01:41:19.663 --> 01:41:23.264 USE THEIR DRUMS. AND THEY WERE MARCHING IN ON THE OUTSIDE FROM 01:41:23.264 --> 01:41:30.224 THE WEST GOING EAST. JESUS WAS COUNTERING WITH A PROPHETIC ACT, 01:41:30.224 --> 01:41:34.963 OPPOSING THE ENEMY, OPPOSING THE ENEMY'S PLAN, RETALIATING, BUT 01:41:34.963 --> 01:41:37.814 YET NOBODY KNEW IT. THEY'RE JUST SAYING, OH, HERE COMES, HE'S 01:41:37.814 --> 01:41:44.564 LOWLY AND MEEK, RIDING IN ON A DONKEY FROM THE EAST GOING WEST. 01:41:44.564 --> 01:41:48.974 NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT. SO THEY'RE POUNDING OVER HERE THE 01:41:48.974 --> 01:41:52.514 PROCESSION. THEY CAUGHT WIND OF ANOTHER THING. IN JOHN CHAPTER 01:41:52.514 --> 01:41:55.694 11, LAZARUS HAD JUST BEEN RAISED FROM THE DEAD AND IT CREATED, 01:41:55.694 --> 01:42:00.373 YOU COULD READ THIS IN JOHN 11. YOU CAN READ FROM VERSES 45 DOWN 01:42:00.373 --> 01:42:05.774 INTO VERSE 53. THERE WAS SUCH A STIR IN THE CITY OF LAZARUS 01:42:05.774 --> 01:42:08.503 BEING RAISED FROM THE DEAD. THEY DIDN'T WANNA JUST KILL JESUS, 01:42:08.503 --> 01:42:13.184 THEY WANTED TO KILL LAZARUS. SO NOW THEY'RE LIKE, OKAY, THIS MAN 01:42:13.184 --> 01:42:19.663 IS CREATING PROBLEMS. SO HEROD AND CAESAR GIVE ORDERS. PILOT, 01:42:19.663 --> 01:42:25.213 YOU'RE ALREADY NOT DOING A GOOD JOB. THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID. YOU 01:42:25.213 --> 01:42:29.654 ARE IN TROUBLE PRETTY MUCH, AND IF YOU WANNA SAVE YOUR RANK AND 01:42:29.654 --> 01:42:32.594 YOUR LOCATION, YOU'RE GONNA GO DOWN THERE AND YOU'RE GONNA SORT 01:42:32.594 --> 01:42:36.913 THIS OUT, AND THERE BETTER NOT BE AN INSURRECTION. YOU BETTER 01:42:36.913 --> 01:42:42.163 COUNTER THIS THAT THEY'RE DOING WITH THEIR KING. HOW MANY ARE 01:42:42.163 --> 01:42:45.194 SEEING IT? SO NOW FOLLOW ME, LOOK HERE, I WANNA SHOW YOU 01:42:45.194 --> 01:42:49.724 THIS. LOOK AT EXODUS CHAPTER 10, VERSE 13. NOTICE THE DIRECTION 01:42:49.724 --> 01:42:55.064 OF SOMETHING. EXODUS CHAPTER 10, VERSE 13. "AND MOSES STRETCHED 01:42:55.064 --> 01:42:58.453 FORTH HIS ROD OVER THE LAND OF EGYPT, AND THE LORD BROUGHT A," 01:42:58.453 --> 01:43:03.913 WHAT WIND? WHAT DIRECTION WAS IT? AN EAST WIND. AND WHAT 01:43:03.913 --> 01:43:11.811 HAPPENED ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT? LOCUSTS. JUDGMENT. HOW DID IT 01:43:11.811 --> 01:43:17.923 COME? FROM WHAT DIRECTION? EAST. WHERE WAS JESUS ENTERING IN? HE 01:43:17.923 --> 01:43:23.474 WAS ENTERING INTO THE EAST. NOW, WATCH WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE 01:43:23.474 --> 01:43:27.404 LOCUSTS. AND I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT, I THINK IT'S VERSE 19, MIGHT 01:43:27.404 --> 01:43:32.113 BE VERSE SOMEWHERE IN THERE, 18, 19. NOW WATCH WHAT GOD USES TO 01:43:32.113 --> 01:43:37.213 COUNTER IT. AND THE LORD TURNED A MIGHTY STRONG, WHAT WIND? WEST 01:43:37.213 --> 01:43:41.354 WIND. AND WHAT DID HE DO? HE TOOK AWAY THE LOCUSTS, ALL 01:43:41.354 --> 01:43:48.014 RIGHT? LOOK AT PSALM 103, AND LOOK AT VERSE 12. WHAT DOES 01:43:48.014 --> 01:43:53.293 PSALM 103 SAY? AS FAR AS THE WHAT? WHY DOES IT MENTION THE 01:43:53.293 --> 01:44:01.844 EAST FIRST? 'CAUSE EAST IN THE BIBLE REPRESENTS JUDGMENT. WHEN 01:44:01.844 --> 01:44:08.444 CAIN WAS REMOVED, OR NOT CAIN, ADAM AND EVE, RIGHT? THEY WERE 01:44:08.444 --> 01:44:14.774 CAST OUT EASTWARD, JUDGMENT. AND THEY WENT FROM THE, YOU CAST 01:44:14.774 --> 01:44:17.054 YOUR SINS AS FAR AS THE EAST, THAT'S JUDGMENT, TO WHAT 01:44:17.054 --> 01:44:23.264 HAPPENED TO THE WEST? IT WAS REMOVED. THAT'S MERCY. WHEN THE 01:44:23.264 --> 01:44:27.793 PRIEST WOULD TAKE OF THE LAMB EVERY YEAR FROM THE LITTLE 01:44:27.793 --> 01:44:31.304 MANGER IN BETHLEHEM, JUST LIKE WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN ON 01:44:31.304 --> 01:44:36.583 PALM SUNDAY THAT YEAR, RIGHT? THEY WOULD ALWAYS ENTER IN 01:44:36.583 --> 01:44:39.974 TOWARDS THE EAST GATE. AND THEN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS THE PRIEST, 01:44:39.974 --> 01:44:43.484 THE HIGH PRIEST WOULD TAKE THAT LITTLE LAMB THAT WAS CHOSEN AND 01:44:43.484 --> 01:44:48.644 HE WOULD GO INTO, RIGHT? HE WOULD GO INTO THE TEMPLE, AND HE 01:44:48.644 --> 01:44:54.014 WOULD GO IN THROUGH THE EAST GATE, CARRYING THE JUDGMENT, THE 01:44:54.014 --> 01:45:00.134 GUILT OF EVERY PERSON'S SINS. AND GUESS WHICH DIRECTION HE WAS 01:45:00.134 --> 01:45:04.663 HEADING? WEST, BECAUSE WEST, WHETHER IT BE THE TABERNACLE 01:45:04.663 --> 01:45:08.533 THAT WAS IN THE WILDERNESS OR THE TEMPLE, THEY ENTERED IN EAST 01:45:08.533 --> 01:45:12.373 WITH THE SINS, THE JUDGMENT, EVERY ONE OF US HAVE SINNED, AND 01:45:12.373 --> 01:45:18.434 THEY WOULD ALWAYS HEAD WEST TOWARDS THE MERCY SEAT. JESUS IS 01:45:18.434 --> 01:45:22.304 COUNTERING. HE'S COUNTERING OUR SIN. HE'S COUNTERING WHAT 01:45:22.304 --> 01:45:26.953 THEY'RE GONNA DECLARE HIM GUILTY OF, THAT HE'S INNOCENT, BUT WE 01:45:26.953 --> 01:45:29.842 ARE THE GUILTY ONES. AND AS THE LAMB OF GOD, JUST LIKE THEY DID 01:45:29.842 --> 01:45:35.001 EVERY YEAR, NOW HE'S COMING SAYING, LORD, THEY'RE GUILTY. 01:45:35.001 --> 01:45:39.224 BUT I AM THE LAMB OF GOD, AND I'VE COME TO TAKE AWAY THEIR 01:45:39.224 --> 01:45:42.764 SINS. AND I'M GOING IN THROUGH THE EAST GATE, JUST LIKE THE 01:45:42.764 --> 01:45:47.774 PRIEST DID EVERY YEAR. I'M CARRYING IT UPON MYSELF NOW. 01:45:47.774 --> 01:45:52.604 THEIR SINS, THEIR INIQUITIES, THE CHASTISEMENT, THE PUNISHMENT 01:45:52.604 --> 01:45:56.323 THAT THEY DESERVE IS UPON ME, ACCORDING TO ISAIAH 53. AND I'M 01:45:56.323 --> 01:45:59.323 RIDING IN ON THIS DONKEY THAT HAS A CROSS 'CAUSE I'M ABOUT TO 01:45:59.323 --> 01:46:03.793 BEAR MY CROSS. I'M ABOUT TO TAKE THEIR SHAME AND I'M HEADING WEST 01:46:03.793 --> 01:46:06.699 BECAUSE LORD I'M HEADING SOMEWHERE. I'M GONNA HEAD NOT 01:46:06.699 --> 01:46:10.036 ONLY THROUGH THE CROSS, BUT THE RESURRECTION. I'M GONNA HEAD 01:46:10.036 --> 01:46:13.707 TOWARDS THE MERCY SEAT IN HEAVEN. AND I'M GOING TO ENTER 01:46:13.707 --> 01:46:19.712 IN, I'M GONNA PUT MY BLOOD THERE, THAT WILL FOREVER SPEAK 01:46:19.712 --> 01:46:22.548 OF YOUR MERCY. BECAUSE THAT'S WHY HEBREWS 4:16 SAYS, NOW WE 01:46:22.548 --> 01:46:26.886 CAN COME, WE CAN ENTER IN, AND OBTAIN. WE DON'T HAVE 01:46:26.886 --> 01:46:29.953 TO ASK, IT SAYS YOU CAN OBTAIN IT. IT'S ALREADY AVAILABLE. 01:46:29.953 --> 01:46:33.434 GRACE, MERCY, HELP, BECAUSE JESUS WENT EAST, HEADED TOWARDS 01:46:33.434 --> 01:46:40.514 WEST. NOW PILATE, WHAT WAS HE DOING? HISTORY WILL TELL YOU. HE 01:46:40.514 --> 01:46:45.613 WAS ACTING ALL MERCIFUL. THAT'S WHY HE CAME IN FROM THE WEST. 01:46:45.613 --> 01:46:50.076 BUT WHAT WAS HE REALLY DOING? HE WAS COME TO BRING AND TO 01:46:50.076 --> 01:46:57.417 FULFILL JUDGEMENT. HE WAS GONNA DECLARE AN INNOCENT MAN AND 01:46:57.417 --> 01:47:01.587 JUDGE HIM AS GUILTY. HOW MANY SEE THIS? NOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO 01:47:01.587 --> 01:47:03.756 ALSO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ON, HOW MANY REMEMBER WHEN 01:47:03.756 --> 01:47:07.092 JESUS... JUST A FEW DAYS. YOU NEED TO READ ABOUT THIS, AND 01:47:07.092 --> 01:47:10.033 THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING. AND SO HE'S STANDING THERE 01:47:10.033 --> 01:47:13.453 BEFORE PILATE AND THE ROMAN GUARDS, THEY EACH GET AN 01:47:13.453 --> 01:47:16.904 OPPORTUNITY TO PUNCH HIM IN THE MOUTH WITH AN OPEN FIST. THEY 01:47:16.904 --> 01:47:21.703 LITERALLY GOT TO TAKE THEIR BEST SHOT AND HIT JESUS. FOR HIM TO 01:47:21.703 --> 01:47:24.734 BE ABLE, I'VE OFTEN SAID THIS TO HIM, I SAID, LORD, I DON'T 01:47:24.734 --> 01:47:28.963 UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR FACE CAN BE SO BEAUTIFUL LIKE IT IS. AND YET 01:47:28.963 --> 01:47:32.293 THEY KEPT PUNCHING YOU AND PUNCHING YOU AND YOU TOOK THE 01:47:32.293 --> 01:47:37.543 PUNCHES FOR US. YOU TOOK THE HITS FOR US, GOD. AND THEN WHAT 01:47:37.543 --> 01:47:40.724 THEY DID, NOW WATCH THIS, WHY DID THEY DO THIS? THEY GAVE HIM 01:47:40.724 --> 01:47:45.463 A REED, WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SCEPTER OF A KING. THEY HANDED 01:47:45.463 --> 01:47:48.493 IT TO HIM, PUT A CROWN OF THORNS ON HIS HEAD, WHICH THE BIBLE 01:47:48.493 --> 01:47:52.904 SAYS WHEN IT WENT ON HIS HEAD, IT PLATED HIM. IT SPECIFICALLY 01:47:52.904 --> 01:47:55.274 USES THE WORD PLATED BECAUSE THOSE THORNS, THOSE OF YOU THAT 01:47:55.274 --> 01:47:58.694 ARE WATCHING, WERE LIKE THIS, AND IT LITERALLY PIERCED DOWN SO 01:47:58.694 --> 01:48:02.983 MUCH THAT IT HIT HIS BONE, IT HIT HIS SKULL. COME ON, HOW 01:48:02.983 --> 01:48:06.653 MANY OF YOU EVER HAD HEADACHES OR PAIN THAT IS LIKE IT'S IN 01:48:06.653 --> 01:48:10.657 YOUR BONE? HOW MANY OF YOU EVER HAD THOUGHTS YOU COULDN'T GET 01:48:10.657 --> 01:48:16.328 RID OF? LISTEN, IF IT HIT THE SKULL, THERE ISN'T ANY THOUGHTS 01:48:16.328 --> 01:48:18.998 THAT WASN'T PAID FOR. NO MATTER HOW DEEP, OR 01:48:18.998 --> 01:48:23.170 HOW MUCH IT'S BEEN EMBEDDED INTO YOUR SOUL. 01:48:23.170 --> 01:48:28.514 BEAUTIFUL, NOW WATCH THIS. WHAT DID THE ROMAN GUARDS SAY 01:48:28.514 --> 01:48:32.144 WHEN THEY HANDED JESUS THE SCEPTER AND THEY HIT HIM OVER 01:48:32.144 --> 01:48:42.104 THE HEAD? WHAT DID THEY SAY? HAIL, KING OF THE WHAT? HAIL, 01:48:42.104 --> 01:48:47.264 KING OF THE JEWS. WHAT DID THEY USED TO SAY ABOUT CAESAR? HAIL 01:48:47.264 --> 01:48:50.894 CAESAR. BECAUSE WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, IN FACT, THEY FOUND 01:48:50.894 --> 01:48:57.463 A COIN IN ANCIENT JERUSALEM, IN JERUSALEM, THAT HAD AN 01:48:57.463 --> 01:49:02.923 INSCRIPTION OF CAESAR, TIBERIUS IS WHO IT WAS. AND ON THE 01:49:02.923 --> 01:49:07.213 INSCRIPTION, IT SAID, "HAIL CAESAR." ON THE BACK OF IT, IT 01:49:07.213 --> 01:49:16.694 DECLARED THAT HE WAS THE PRINCE OF PEACE. CAESAR WAS CALLED AND 01:49:16.694 --> 01:49:27.373 HE IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS THE SON OF GOD. YES, HE WAS CONSIDERED 01:49:27.373 --> 01:49:34.514 AND THEY WERE CALLED LORDS. SO HERE YOU HAVE A PROCESSION THAT 01:49:34.514 --> 01:49:40.904 IS PROCLAIMING SON OF GOD, LORDSHIP. AND JESUS, NOT THE 01:49:40.904 --> 01:49:46.123 COUNTERFEIT, IS COUNTERING IT. GOING, I'M THE SON OF GOD, I'M 01:49:46.123 --> 01:49:49.543 THE HIGH PRIEST, I'M THE SACRIFICED LAMB OF GOD. AND 01:49:49.543 --> 01:49:52.484 EVERYBODY MISSED IT 'CAUSE THEY THOUGHT HE WAS JUST LOW AND MEEK 01:49:52.484 --> 01:50:00.434 AND MILD. NO, BECAUSE EVEN THE DONKEY, MAMA, AND THE LITTLE 01:50:00.434 --> 01:50:06.434 BABY DONKEY HAD HIS PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE THAT I'M GONNA SHOW 01:50:06.434 --> 01:50:11.594 YOU. IT REALLY WAS A KING COMING IN TO MAKE A POINT. HE WAS THE 01:50:11.594 --> 01:50:14.235 LORD OF THE COUNTER. NOW WATCH, THIS IS VERY POWERFUL. BY THE 01:50:14.235 --> 01:50:17.774 WAY, I PUT THIS IN A BOOK, AMY. IT'S A GREAT BOOK. HOW MANY OF 01:50:17.774 --> 01:50:21.734 YOU DON'T HAVE A, WE WERE CALLING IT A TRILOGY, BUT I'VE 01:50:21.734 --> 01:50:24.463 ALREADY RELEASED LORD OF THE FIGHT. WE HAVE THE NEXT ONE 01:50:24.463 --> 01:50:27.194 COMING OUT, THE LORD OF THE COUNTER, IT'S ALREADY WRITTEN. 01:50:27.194 --> 01:50:29.354 AND THEN WE HAVE THE LORD OF THE DIFFERENCE, IT'S ALREADY 01:50:29.354 --> 01:50:32.713 WRITTEN, AND WE'RE WORKING ON THE LORD OF THE CONQUEST. AND 01:50:32.713 --> 01:50:36.224 YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO HAVE THESE WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHO GOD 01:50:36.224 --> 01:50:39.014 IS FOR YOU. GIVE HONOR TO GOD, ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL? NOW, LET'S 01:50:39.014 --> 01:50:43.573 TALK ABOUT THIS. WHY WERE THERE TWO, TWO DONKEYS, TWO 01:50:43.573 --> 01:50:47.054 PROCESSIONS? BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO SEE SOMETHING THAT IS VERY 01:50:47.054 --> 01:50:52.484 SIGNIFICANT. HOW MANY REMEMBER THE FIRST PASSOVER? THEY WOULD 01:50:52.484 --> 01:50:55.423 TAKE THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THEY WOULD PUT IT UPON HOW MANY 01:50:55.423 --> 01:51:01.963 SIDE POSTS OF THE DOOR? TWO, TWO SIDE POSTS, RIGHT? ONE ON THE 01:51:01.963 --> 01:51:08.684 TOP AND ONE ON THE SIDES. THEY WOULD PUT THE LAMB'S BLOOD. WHY 01:51:08.684 --> 01:51:13.663 WAS IT AGAIN TWO? BECAUSE IT MADE THE SHAPE OF A CROSS. WHY 01:51:13.663 --> 01:51:20.654 THE CROSS? BECAUSE THIS IS HORIZONTAL, RIGHT? REPRESENTS 01:51:20.654 --> 01:51:25.073 THE EARTH REALM, REPRESENTS MAN, RIGHT? THAT'S WHY IT SAYS FROM 01:51:25.073 --> 01:51:31.283 THE EAST TO THE WEST, HE'S CAST MANSIONS, JUDGMENT EAST TO THE 01:51:31.283 --> 01:51:35.243 WEST. THAT HORIZONTAL PIECE WHEN JESUS WAS HANGING ON THE CROSS 01:51:35.243 --> 01:51:43.703 REPRESENTED THAT. WHAT WAS THE VERTICAL PART? GOD COMING DOWN 01:51:43.703 --> 01:51:50.904 TO EARTH, TO MAN, AND MAKING THE CONNECTION, RIGHT? THAT'S WHY 01:51:50.904 --> 01:51:55.552 THE BLOOD HAD TO BE ON THE TOP AND ON THE BOTTOM BECAUSE GOD 01:51:55.552 --> 01:52:01.162 WAS COUNTERING, COMING DOWN, THE WORD BECAME FLESH, AND HERE'S 01:52:01.162 --> 01:52:07.012 THE HORIZONTAL, HE CAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US. IT WAS A 01:52:07.012 --> 01:52:12.412 COUNTERING ACT. YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS. YOU GO BACK TO EXODUS, AND 01:52:12.412 --> 01:52:17.722 YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST PLAGUE WAS JUDGMENT. AND WHAT WAS THE FIRST 01:52:17.722 --> 01:52:24.953 PLAGUE THAT WAS JUDGMENT? IT WAS THE BLOOD. THE NILE TURNED INTO 01:52:24.953 --> 01:52:32.123 BLOOD. NOW, WHY WAS THERE ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF BLOOD? HOW 01:52:32.123 --> 01:52:34.552 MANY REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED ON THE NIGHT OF THE PASSOVER? TAKE 01:52:34.552 --> 01:52:39.203 THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, PUT IT UPON THE SIDE POSTS. IT STARTED 01:52:39.203 --> 01:52:47.873 WITH BLOOD, AND GOD BROUGHT A COUNTER THROUGH BLOOD. WE'RE 01:52:47.873 --> 01:52:51.833 ALL, NOW THIS IS SO POWERFUL BECAUSE WHAT DID JESUS DO? LOOK 01:52:51.833 --> 01:52:55.972 AT ISAIAH CHAPTER 52, YOU GOT TO SEE THIS. THESE ARE INCREDIBLE 01:52:55.972 --> 01:52:58.884 SCRIPTURES THAT YOU NEED TO READ. SO IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, 01:52:58.884 --> 01:53:02.064 I'VE SHARED THIS WITH MANY JEWS BEFORE. THEY KNOW THESE, IF 01:53:02.064 --> 01:53:05.363 THEY'RE SECULAR, THEY DON'T, BUT I'VE HAD ORTHODOX JEWS WHERE 01:53:05.363 --> 01:53:09.412 I'VE SAID, "I'LL SHOW YOU WHO YOUR MESSIAH IS." AND I'VE HAD 01:53:09.412 --> 01:53:14.123 THEM LITERALLY TRY TO WIPE TEARS AWAY AND NOT ADMIT IT BECAUSE 01:53:14.123 --> 01:53:20.033 THEY SEE A PICTURE OF WHAT THEY HAVE UNDERSTOOD AS A RITUAL, AN 01:53:20.033 --> 01:53:25.305 ACT. AND JESUS CHRIST FULFILLED THIS. LOOK AT ISAIAH CHAPTER 52. 01:53:25.305 --> 01:53:30.444 THIS IS SO POWERFUL THAT WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND. LOOK AT VERSES 13 01:53:30.444 --> 01:53:33.984 THROUGH 15. "BEHOLD, MY SERVANT SHALL DEAL PRUDENTLY. "HE SHALL 01:53:33.984 --> 01:53:37.404 BE EXALTED AND EXTOLLED, "AND HE SHALL BE VERY HIGH." THIS IS 01:53:37.404 --> 01:53:41.842 TALKING ABOUT JESUS. NOW WATCH, LOOK AT 14 AND 15 NOW. AS MANY 01:53:41.842 --> 01:53:47.003 WERE ASTONISHED AT THEE. NOW THAT WORD ASTONISHED IS, 01:53:47.003 --> 01:53:49.912 LITERALLY IT MEANS NOT LIKE, OH, WE'RE SO ASTONISHED. IT 01:53:49.912 --> 01:53:53.033 LITERALLY HAS A HEBREW CONNOTATION OF WE LOOKED AT HIM 01:53:53.033 --> 01:53:58.944 AND WE THREW UP. WHY? IT TELLS YOU WHY. HIS APPEARANCE, WE WERE 01:53:58.944 --> 01:54:03.503 ASTONISHED. WE WERE SHOCKED THAT A PERSON COULD BE ALIVE THAT 01:54:03.503 --> 01:54:08.064 LOOKED LIKE RAW HAMBURGER MEAT. WE WERE ASTONISHED, LIKE, 01:54:08.064 --> 01:54:12.444 SHOCKED, THAT WE VOMITED, THAT ANYONE COULD BE CALLED A HUMAN 01:54:12.444 --> 01:54:19.673 BEING HANGING ON THAT CROSS. HIS APPEARANCE WAS SO MARRED. THAT’S 01:54:19.673 --> 01:54:25.373 WHY I NEVER, I TRY NOT TO, IN WORSHIP STAND THERE WITH MY EYES 01:54:25.373 --> 01:54:30.802 OPEN. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AFTER WHAT HE WENT THROUGH? HANGING 01:54:30.802 --> 01:54:38.033 THERE NAKED WITH HIS MALE PARTS HAVING TO SHOW. BUT MORE THAN 01:54:38.033 --> 01:54:42.203 THAT, HIS FACE LOOKED LIKE RAW HAMBURGER MEAT, AND HIS BODY. 01:54:42.203 --> 01:54:47.662 AND YET, WE STAND LIKE IF WE ARE BETTER THAN HIM? OR WE DON’T 01:54:47.662 --> 01:54:52.043 HAVE IT IN OUR HEART, OR OUR ENERGY, OR OUR MIND TO FOCUS 01:54:52.043 --> 01:54:56.333 TODAY. “I’VE BEEN GOING THROUGH SOMETHING AT WORK.” YOU DIDN'T 01:54:56.333 --> 01:55:00.923 GO THROUGH WHAT HE WENT THROUGH. YEAH, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT 01:55:00.923 --> 01:55:05.404 I'M GOING THROUGH. NO, I DON'T, BUT I KNOW WHAT HE WENT THROUGH. 01:55:05.404 --> 01:55:10.404 AND HOW DARE WE STAND THERE LIKE A TELEPHONE POLE. THAT'S WHAT I 01:55:10.404 --> 01:55:16.432 TOLD YOU MEN. COME ON, MAN, BE MIGHTY. BE A WORSHIPER, BE A 01:55:16.432 --> 01:55:24.713 PURSUER OF GOD, BE A WEEPER FOR GOD. PUT IT BACK UP. HIS 01:55:24.713 --> 01:55:28.613 APPEARANCE WAS SO MARRED MORE THAN ANY MAN. WE PUKED, WE 01:55:28.613 --> 01:55:32.423 VOMITED. AND HIS FORM, WHEN WE LOOKED AT HIM, AND WE'RE 01:55:32.423 --> 01:55:36.203 LOOKING, HIS GUTS ARE HANGING OUT. THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS. HIS 01:55:36.203 --> 01:55:45.863 INTESTINES WERE HANGING DOWN FROM BEING WHIPPED. MORE THAN 01:55:45.863 --> 01:55:50.243 THE SONS OF MEN, VERSE 15. SO SHALL HE SPRINKLE MANY NATIONS. 01:55:50.243 --> 01:55:52.342 HOW DOES HE DO THAT? THROUGH THE BLOOD. THAT'S WHY IN THE NEW 01:55:52.342 --> 01:55:57.052 TESTAMENT, FIRST PETER SAYS THAT WE CAN NOW, THROUGH THE BLOOD OF 01:55:57.052 --> 01:56:01.194 SPRINKLING. THAT'S HOW YOU CAN HAVE A SCRIPTURE THAT APPLIES TO 01:56:01.194 --> 01:56:03.682 PLEADING THE BLOOD. IT'S THE BLOOD OF SPRINKLING. THEY WOULD 01:56:03.682 --> 01:56:07.493 SPRINKLE THE BLOOD ON THE NIGHT OF THE PASSOVER. JESUS, IT SAID, 01:56:07.493 --> 01:56:10.134 THROUGH HIS BLOOD, HE WOULD SPRINKLE IT. HOW DO WE SPRINKLE 01:56:10.134 --> 01:56:18.203 THAT BLOOD TODAY? THROUGH, I PLEAD. I APPLY THAT COVENANT 01:56:18.203 --> 01:56:22.703 BLOOD ON THE MERCY SEAT UPON ME AND MY LIFE AND MY WIFE AND MY 01:56:22.703 --> 01:56:26.123 CHILDREN AND MY STAFF AND MY CHURCH FAMILY AND E-MEMBERS AND 01:56:26.123 --> 01:56:30.592 PARTNERS. LORD, THAT BLOOD IS SPRINKLED. AND AS A RESULT, 01:56:30.592 --> 01:56:34.342 THERE IS A PERMANENT COVENANT BOUNDARY LINE ESTABLISHED. PSALM 01:56:34.342 --> 01:56:38.064 103, YOU'VE REDEEMED THEM FROM DESTRUCTION. THEY CANNOT BE 01:56:38.064 --> 01:56:40.373 CURSED, THAT IT CANNOT BE TOUCHED. THEY CANNOT BE MADE 01:56:40.373 --> 01:56:44.753 SICK. THEY ARE WELL, THEY ARE BLESSED. THIS IS HOW I PRAY FOR 01:56:44.753 --> 01:56:48.743 YOU EVERY DAY BECAUSE OF THAT SPRINKLING THAT HAS COME ON THE 01:56:48.743 --> 01:56:51.713 NATIONS. NOW LOOK AT ISAIAH 53. WHOSE REPORT ARE WE GOING TO 01:56:51.713 --> 01:56:55.673 BELIEVE? SO ISAIAH 53 VERSE 1, LOOK AT WHAT IT SAYS. THIS IS 01:56:55.673 --> 01:56:59.064 WHAT PALM SUNDAY IS ABOUT. "WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? "AND TO 01:56:59.064 --> 01:57:03.444 WHOM IS THE ARM OF THE LORD REVEALED? "FOR HE SHALL," WATCH 01:57:03.444 --> 01:57:06.953 THIS, "FOR HE SHALL GROW UP BEFORE HIM AS A TENDER PLANT 01:57:06.953 --> 01:57:09.743 "AND AS A ROOT OUT OF DRY GROUND. "HE HAS NO FORM OR 01:57:09.743 --> 01:57:14.182 COMELINESS THAT WE WOULD DESIRE HIM, "THAT WE SHALL SEE HIM. 01:57:14.182 --> 01:57:16.972 "THERE'S NO BEAUTY THAT WE SHOULD DESIRE HIM." VERSE THREE, 01:57:16.972 --> 01:57:23.842 THIS IS SO POWERFUL. HE'S DESPISED, OH, NOBODY LIKES ME. 01:57:23.842 --> 01:57:27.444 HE'S REJECTED OF MEN, A MAN OF SORROWS, ACQUAINTED WITH GRIEF 01:57:27.444 --> 01:57:31.854 AND WE HID OUR FACES. THAT'S WHY ISAIAH 52 SAID IT WAS SO BAD, 01:57:31.854 --> 01:57:34.073 THEY WERE ASTONISHED, THEY PUKED, THEY HAD TO HIDE THEIR 01:57:34.073 --> 01:57:41.064 FACE. NO MOVIE HAS EVER DEPICTED IT. HE WAS DESPISED, WE ESTEEMED 01:57:41.064 --> 01:57:44.423 HIM NOT. VERSE 4, THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. THIS IS THE LORD OF 01:57:44.423 --> 01:57:50.237 THE COUNTER. WATCH HOW HE COUNTERS. SURELY HE BORE WHAT? 01:57:50.237 --> 01:57:54.203 NO, LOOK AT THE WORD OUR. THAT'S CALLED THE PROPITIATION, THE 01:57:54.203 --> 01:57:58.253 SUBSTITUTE, THE REPLACEMENT. EVERY TIME YOU SEE THE WORD OUR, 01:57:58.253 --> 01:58:02.423 YOU HAVE TO SEE THE LORD OF THE COUNTER. GOD COUNTERED. HE 01:58:02.423 --> 01:58:07.944 OPPOSED, HE NULLIFIED, HE TOOK ON A WAR, HE TOOK ON THE BATTLE 01:58:07.944 --> 01:58:11.543 TO BRING IT TO VICTORY. HE BORE OUR GRIEFS. COME ON, OUR 01:58:11.543 --> 01:58:15.592 SICKNESSES, OUR DISEASES. HE CARRIED OUR SORROWS, WHICH IS 01:58:15.592 --> 01:58:19.854 PAINS, YET WE DID ESTEEM HIM. HE WAS STRICKEN, HE WAS SMITTEN OF 01:58:19.854 --> 01:58:26.243 GOD AS GOD USED HIM TO COUNTER SIN, SICKNESS, DISEASE, TRAGEDY, 01:58:26.243 --> 01:58:30.610 CALAMITY. THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T GET INTO THE DOCTRINAL 01:58:30.610 --> 01:58:35.484 MISINFORMATION THAT GOD ONLY HEALED SOME OR ONLY WILL HEAL 01:58:35.484 --> 01:58:38.092 SOME AND OTHERS. I REMEMBER GROWING UP IN THE ASSEMBLIES OF 01:58:38.092 --> 01:58:41.213 GOD AND I'D ARGUE THIS WITH THEM. AND I SAY, HOW CAN YOU SAY 01:58:41.213 --> 01:58:43.944 THAT GOD'S NOT A RESPECTER OF PERSONS, BUT YOU'RE TELLING ME 01:58:43.944 --> 01:58:46.912 THAT GOD HEALED THIS GUY, BUT HE WON'T THIS GUY, REALLY? WHAT, 01:58:46.912 --> 01:58:51.144 WHAT, WHAT? I SAID, I KNOW GOD, AND I WAS ONLY 20 YEARS OLD 01:58:51.144 --> 01:58:54.564 ARGUING WITH THESE GUYS. SAY, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? 01:58:54.564 --> 01:58:57.384 THAT'S NOT THE NATURE OF GOD. I WOULD TAKE HIM TO THIS SCRIPTURE 01:58:57.384 --> 01:59:01.314 AND SAY, WAIT A MINUTE. IT DIDN'T SAY SOME, SOME HE BORE 01:59:01.314 --> 01:59:04.810 THEIR GRIEFS, WHICH THAT HEBREW WORD IS SICKNESS, DISEASE. HE 01:59:04.810 --> 01:59:08.481 DIDN'T SAY, NO HE CARRIED OUR SORROWS. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF 01:59:08.481 --> 01:59:12.485 THEM. LOOK AT VERSE 5. HE DID IT FOR EVERYBODY. HE ALREADY 01:59:12.485 --> 01:59:14.488 PAID FOR IT. THE TRUTH AND MATTER I'D SAY TO THEM IS 01:59:14.488 --> 01:59:18.158 YOU'RE ALREADY HEALED. IT'S NOT AN ISSUE OF WELL SOME GET IT, 01:59:18.158 --> 01:59:23.329 SOME DON'T BECAUSE OF GOD CHOOSING. SORRY, IT WASN'T YOUR 01:59:23.329 --> 01:59:27.833 DAY. BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS... AND 01:59:27.833 --> 01:59:31.003 I LOVE THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD. DON'T GET ME WRONG. I THINK THEY 01:59:31.003 --> 01:59:37.912 NEED TO COME INTO REVIVAL. JUST LIKE MANY OTHER CHURCHES DO. HE 01:59:37.912 --> 01:59:39.863 WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS BRUISED 01:59:39.863 --> 01:59:43.912 FOR OUR INIQUITIES, SO HE TOOK IT AS THE LORD OF THE COUNTER. 01:59:43.912 --> 01:59:48.533 HE TOOK THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE. AND WITH HIS STRIPES, 01:59:48.533 --> 01:59:54.052 MAN, ONLY A FEW OF YOU ARE ALREADY HEALED. I'M SORRY IF 01:59:54.052 --> 02:00:00.564 THIS SECTION YOU DIDN'T GET IT. SORRY ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW, IT'S 02:00:00.564 --> 02:00:03.592 'CAUSE YOU DON'T AMEN ON SUNDAY MORNINGS, YOU KNOW, YOU, NO, NO, 02:00:03.592 --> 02:00:09.173 NO, I'M KIDDING. NO, IF ARE, IF YOU ARE HEALED, IT'S ALREADY 02:00:09.173 --> 02:00:14.302 HAPPENED. IT'S PAST TENSE, RIGHT? 1 PETER 2:24 SAYS YOU 02:00:14.302 --> 02:00:17.154 WERE HEALED. THAT MEANS THERE'S A CORRESPONDING ACTION THAT 02:00:17.154 --> 02:00:21.113 BRINGS IT TO A PLACE OF COMPLETION. IT'S ALREADY 02:00:21.113 --> 02:00:24.863 HAPPENED. YOU ARE AND YOU WERE, SO WHAT'S THE ARGUMENT? THE 02:00:24.863 --> 02:00:29.280 ARGUMENT IS WE HAVE TO POSITION OURSELVES TO RECEIVE. THAT'S WHY 02:00:29.280 --> 02:00:32.033 I SAID, COME LIKE A CHILD, QUIT MAKING THINGS SO DIFFICULT. HE'S 02:00:32.033 --> 02:00:35.543 THE LORD OF THE COUNTER. ALL RIGHT, LET'S KEEP READING 'CAUSE 02:00:35.543 --> 02:00:37.644 I LIKE THIS. BUT HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, WE'RE 02:00:37.644 --> 02:00:40.854 HEALED, VERSE 6, THIS IS POWERFUL. AND LIKE SHEEP, WE'VE 02:00:40.854 --> 02:00:44.363 ALL GONE ASTRAY AND WE'VE TURNED EVERYONE TO OUR OWN WAY. THAT'S 02:00:44.363 --> 02:00:47.932 WHY HE CAME IN ON A DONKEY, YOU'RE GONNA SEE, BECAUSE AGAIN, 02:00:47.932 --> 02:00:51.412 HE HAD TO COUNTER SOMETHING. THE LORD HAD TO COUNTER SOMETHING. 02:00:51.412 --> 02:00:53.634 THAT'S WHY HE CAME IN ON A DONKEY, I'LL SHOW YOU. "AND THE 02:00:53.634 --> 02:00:56.423 LORD HAS LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL." VERSE 02:00:56.423 --> 02:01:01.673 SEVEN, "HE WAS OPPRESSED, HE WAS AFFLICTED." HE WAS ATTACKED ON 02:01:01.673 --> 02:01:07.314 SOCIAL MEDIA. "YET HE OPENED NOT HIS MOUTH "OR BEGAN TO PUNCH THE 02:01:07.314 --> 02:01:14.182 KEYBOARD KEYS." HERE'S HOW YOU KNOW IT WAS BLOODY. HE WAS 02:01:14.182 --> 02:01:20.182 BROUGHT AS A LAMB TO THE WHAT? IT WAS A SLAUGHTER. CAN YOU 02:01:20.182 --> 02:01:24.083 IMAGINE THOSE, THE HIGH PRIEST, WHEN HE WOULD GO AND KILL THE 02:01:24.083 --> 02:01:28.524 LAMB, HOW MUCH BLOOD MUST'VE GOT EVERYWHERE? I MEAN, I REMEMBER 02:01:28.524 --> 02:01:33.309 MY GRANDPA ONE TIME, MOM, YOU WOULD REMEMBER THIS AS YOU'RE 02:01:33.309 --> 02:01:37.118 WATCHING, THEY WENT AND CAUGHT A BUNCH OF FISH AND I HAD CAUGHT A 02:01:37.118 --> 02:01:42.788 BUNCH OF TROUT. AND I HAD, I MEAN, I LIKED CATCHING FISH, BUT 02:01:42.788 --> 02:01:45.668 I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT CAME AFTER IT. I WAS LIKE IN FIFTH GRADE 02:01:45.668 --> 02:01:47.259 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN LIKE, ALL RIGHT, WELL, IT'S TIME TO EAT 02:01:47.259 --> 02:01:49.359 THESE THINGS. I'M LIKE, ALL RIGHT, WELL, YOU KNOW. AND ALL 02:01:49.359 --> 02:01:51.458 OF A SUDDEN, MY GRANDMA CALLS ME BACK OUT WITH MY GRANDPA, GET 02:01:51.458 --> 02:01:54.908 BACK OUT HERE, HUH? GRANDPA HANDS ME THIS WEIRD LOOKING 02:01:54.908 --> 02:01:57.908 KNIFE. I'M LIKE, WHAT IS THAT? HE GOES, YOU JUST CUT IT RIGHT 02:01:57.908 --> 02:02:00.550 DOWN THE MIDDLE. I'M LIKE, YOU HAVE TO CUT THAT THING? I SAID, 02:02:00.550 --> 02:02:06.578 THAT THING'S GONNA BLEED. OF COURSE IT WOULD BLEED. I POKED 02:02:06.578 --> 02:02:13.569 IT AND SOMETHING HAPPENED. AND I'M LIKE, "I AM NOT GONNA EAT 02:02:13.569 --> 02:02:16.988 THIS THING." AND MY GRANDPA'S LIKE, "NOTHING, "SHE'S FILETING 02:02:16.988 --> 02:02:19.929 THE THING." AND I'M LOOKING AT ALL THIS AND THEN HE REACHES IN 02:02:19.929 --> 02:02:23.979 AND ALL THIS STUFF COMES OUT OF IT. "BRENDA, I HAVE JUST TOLD 02:02:23.979 --> 02:02:25.599 YOU THE REASON "I DON'T EAT FISH TODAY." 02:02:25.599 --> 02:02:28.719 (CONGREGATION LAUGHING) 02:02:28.719 --> 02:02:31.719 "ACTUALLY, SHE MADE ME SOME GREAT FISH LAST NIGHT. "IT WAS 02:02:31.719 --> 02:02:35.188 EXCELLENT." YEAH, ANYWAY, SHE SAID CATTLE YARD. NO, I'VE 02:02:35.188 --> 02:02:37.524 NEVER HAD TO BUTCHER A COW AND I'M NOT GOING TO. I'D 02:02:37.524 --> 02:02:40.027 RATHER HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE DO IT AND FLIP AND MAKE SURE IT'S 02:02:40.027 --> 02:02:42.029 RIGHT. YOU KNOW AND GET IT RIGHT THERE FOR THAT HAMBURGER. 02:02:42.029 --> 02:02:46.032 ALL RIGHT, WHERE WAS I? I'M TRYING TO END IT. PASTOR DOUG, 02:02:46.032 --> 02:02:48.702 YOU CAN START HEADING THIS WAY. ALL RIGHT, BUT NOW WATCH THIS, 02:02:48.702 --> 02:02:52.538 BECAUSE THIS GETS MORE INTERESTING. OKAY, YOU HAD THE 02:02:52.538 --> 02:02:56.877 TWO TABLETS OF THE LAW OF MOSES, RIGHT, THE TEN 02:02:56.877 --> 02:02:59.880 COMMANDMENTS. YOU HAD ONE SIDE, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST OBEY THE 02:02:59.880 --> 02:03:03.382 COMMANDMENTS YOUR LIFE IS BLESSED. THERE'S THE BLESSING 02:03:03.382 --> 02:03:05.051 OF THE COMMANDMENTS. EVERYBODY ALWAYS FOCUSES 02:03:05.051 --> 02:03:08.555 ON THE THOU SHALL NOT. WELL, THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE 02:03:08.555 --> 02:03:12.158 TO COUNTER THAT, RIGHT? DON'T STEAL. WELL, HOW DO I DO THAT? 02:03:12.158 --> 02:03:18.878 BE A PERSON OF HONOR. RIGHT? THOU SHALL NOT LIE. WELL, HOW DO 02:03:18.878 --> 02:03:23.769 I DO THAT? COUNTER IT, TELL THE TRUTH. THOU SHALL GO TO CHURCH, 02:03:23.769 --> 02:03:29.074 REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY. HOW DO I GET OVER THAT? BE CONSISTENT. 02:03:29.074 --> 02:03:33.069 OKAY, LET'S GO TO THE NEXT ONE. SO NOW LET'S BE BROUGHT FORTH 02:03:33.069 --> 02:03:37.088 NOW. HERE IT IS, IT'S PALM SUNDAY. YOU SEE THESE TWO 02:03:37.088 --> 02:03:40.988 DONKEYS. AND THIS IS REALLY AMAZING TO ME BECAUSE THE TWO 02:03:40.988 --> 02:03:44.918 DONKEYS REPRESENT SOMETHING. I WANT YOU TO GO TO MATTHEW 21, 02:03:44.918 --> 02:03:47.168 WHERE YOU ALREADY HAVE BEEN THERE. BUT LOOK AT VERSES 6 02:03:47.168 --> 02:03:50.469 THROUGH 7 AS WE GET READY TO CLOSE HERE. HAVE YOU GOT ANY, 02:03:50.469 --> 02:03:52.868 HAVE YOU LEARNED ANYTHING FROM THIS TODAY? IS IT HELPING YOU? 02:03:52.868 --> 02:03:56.643 OKAY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO TRY TO BE THEOLOGICAL, BUT I JUST WANT US 02:03:56.643 --> 02:04:03.368 TO APPRECIATE MORE WHAT WE READ OR WHAT HAPPENED TO JESUS, I 02:04:03.368 --> 02:04:06.069 THINK IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. BUT JESUS SAYS, "GO INTO THE 02:04:06.069 --> 02:04:09.279 VILLAGE AGAINST YOU "AND STRAIGHTWAY YOU'LL FIND A DONKEY 02:04:09.279 --> 02:04:14.529 TIED AND A COLT. "LOOSE THEM AND BRING THEM. "AND THE DISCIPLES 02:04:14.529 --> 02:04:18.399 WENT AND BROUGHT THE DONKEY AND THE COLT." NOW YOU HAVE TO KNOW 02:04:18.399 --> 02:04:22.179 THE MEANING. SO THE FEMALE DONKEY, WHAT THE LITERAL 02:04:22.179 --> 02:04:26.708 DEFINITION OF THAT IS THE WORD ATHON, AND IT LITERALLY MEANS 02:04:26.708 --> 02:04:33.578 A CHIEF. IT MEANS STRENGTH. SO EVEN THOUGH PILATE WAS COMING IN 02:04:33.578 --> 02:04:37.689 AND HE WAS ACTING AS THE BIG, YOU KNOW, RIGHT? CHIEF, THE BIG 02:04:37.689 --> 02:04:42.038 RULER, REPRESENTING THE BIG KING, RIGHT? THE ONE WHO WAS 02:04:42.038 --> 02:04:46.628 CALLING HIMSELF THE SON OF GOD. JESUS BRINGS THE MOTHER DONKEY 02:04:46.628 --> 02:04:52.418 TO REPRESENT WHAT HE ULTIMATELY IS GONNA BE RIDING IN ON, 02:04:52.418 --> 02:04:56.529 BEAUTIFUL HORSE, THAT CHIEFTAIN DONKEY THAT REPRESENTS THE 02:04:56.529 --> 02:05:05.439 KINGLY ANOINTING AND RITE OF COVENANT THAT NOW, WHEN JESUS 02:05:05.439 --> 02:05:08.078 WENT IN WITH HIS BLOOD TO THE HOLY PLACE, THE FIRST THING THAT 02:05:08.078 --> 02:05:14.346 THE FATHER SAYS TO HIM, IT CHOKES ME UP EVERY TIME. HE 02:05:14.346 --> 02:05:19.899 LOOKS AT HIM AND HE SAYS, "THOU ART GOD." SO HE CALLS JESUS 02:05:19.899 --> 02:05:23.979 CARRYING HIS BLOOD. THE FATHER CALLS JESUS GOD. AND THEN HE 02:05:23.979 --> 02:05:28.359 HANDS HIM AFTER, THINK ABOUT IT, WHAT JESUS HAD TO TAKE WHEN THEY 02:05:28.359 --> 02:05:31.029 HIT HIM OVER THE HEAD AND THEY MOCKED HIM LIKE HE'S NOT SOME 02:05:31.029 --> 02:05:35.769 KING. AND THE FIRST THING THAT THE FATHER DOES WHEN OTHERS MOCK 02:05:35.769 --> 02:05:41.559 YOU, HE WILL BRING OUT THE VALIDITY OF WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT 02:05:41.559 --> 02:05:44.948 HE BLESSED YOU WITH BECAUSE HE HANDS JESUS THAT SCEPTER. FOR 02:05:44.948 --> 02:05:49.088 ANY ONE OF YOU THAT EVER BEEN MOCKED, RIDICULED, TRUST GOD, HE 02:05:49.088 --> 02:05:52.689 WILL VINDICATE YOU. YOU TALK ABOUT VINDICATION, MAN, WHEN 02:05:52.689 --> 02:05:58.725 JESUS CAME IN AND THE LORD GAVE HIM THE SCEPTER OF A KING AND 02:05:58.725 --> 02:06:01.560 HE SAID, "COME SIT DOWN AT MY RIGHT HAND AND ALL THE ENEMIES 02:06:01.560 --> 02:06:06.233 SHALL ALWAYS BE IN AWE OF THY FOOTSTEPS. AND SO I ALWAYS 02:06:06.233 --> 02:06:10.904 THINK ABOUT THAT. HE HANDED HIM THAT AND HE SAID YOU ARE KING 02:06:10.904 --> 02:06:12.738 OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. NOW WHAT'S JESUS 02:06:12.738 --> 02:06:16.909 GONNA RIDE BACK ON? A HORSE, AS KING OF KINGS 02:06:16.909 --> 02:06:19.628 AND LORD OF LORDS, AND WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? RIDE ON HORSES, 02:06:19.628 --> 02:06:23.319 WHAT? WITH HIM, BECAUSE REVELATION CHAPTER ONE SAYS THAT 02:06:23.319 --> 02:06:29.378 WE ARE NOW WHAT? KINGS AND PRIESTS UNTO OUR GOD. SO HE'S 02:06:29.378 --> 02:06:33.158 THE KING OF EVERY KING. WE ONLY THINK OF PRESIDENTS AND KINGS, 02:06:33.158 --> 02:06:38.769 BUT HE'S THE KING OVER US, WHO ARE ALSO KINGS. AND WE GET TO 02:06:38.769 --> 02:06:42.514 RIDE BACK WITH HIM JUST LIKE THAT MAMA. AND THEN WHAT DID 02:06:42.514 --> 02:06:46.328 THAT LITTLE DONKEY, IT HAD NEVER BEEN RIDDEN BEFORE, REPRESENTS 02:06:46.328 --> 02:06:50.498 US. REPRESENTS I BELIEVE, EVEN THE GENTILE NATION, SOME OF THE 02:06:50.498 --> 02:06:53.198 JEWS THAT HAD NOT YET COME TO REALIZE THAT HE WAS THEIR 02:06:53.198 --> 02:06:59.529 MESSIAH, THAT ARE GONNA BE PART OF HIS RETURN. AND THROUGH HIS 02:06:59.529 --> 02:07:05.618 REDEMPTION, RIGHT, HE'S GONNA SHOW US THAT HE'S COUNTERED ALL 02:07:05.618 --> 02:07:09.519 OF THIS AS HE SETS UP HIS ETERNAL KINGDOM. NOW, WHAT'S 02:07:09.519 --> 02:07:12.639 AMAZING TO ME IN THIS AND I WANNA SHARE WITH YOU THIS, IS 02:07:12.639 --> 02:07:16.359 WHY DID HE HAVE TO RIDE IN ON A DONKEY? BECAUSE NOW YOU LOOK AT 02:07:16.359 --> 02:07:21.998 THE YOUNG LITTLE DONKEY AND HIS NAME, THE DEFINITION OF IT IS 02:07:21.998 --> 02:07:28.958 CHAMOR, C-H-A-M-O-R, AND IT MEANS TO CAUSE TROUBLE, TO BE 02:07:28.958 --> 02:07:37.569 REBELLIOUS, TO BE RED HOT, RIGHT? IT REPRESENTS RED. WHAT 02:07:37.569 --> 02:07:41.588 WAS ON THE BACK OF THAT DONKEY? ACROSS. WHAT DOES THIS 02:07:41.588 --> 02:07:45.368 REPRESENT? AGAIN, THE LORD WAS SHOWING US THAT HE'S THE LORD OF 02:07:45.368 --> 02:07:49.002 COUNTER. JOB 11, VERSE 12. HE WAS SHOWING US 02:07:49.002 --> 02:07:52.838 WITH THE TWO DONKEY, HIS MAMA, JESUS IS KING 02:07:52.838 --> 02:07:56.078 AND WILL BE KING. WE THE YOUNG, WE'RE THE 02:07:56.078 --> 02:08:00.429 YOUNG DONKEY. WE NEED TO BE RIDDEN UPON. WE NEED TO SUBMIT 02:08:00.429 --> 02:08:07.479 OUR LIVES AND OUR FLESH TO HIS LORDSHIP. YOU GOTTA COUNTER YOUR 02:08:07.479 --> 02:08:10.448 FLESH. IF YOU WANT, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, WHY DON'T YOU 02:08:10.448 --> 02:08:13.719 STAND TO YOUR FEET. IF YOU REALLY WANT, AND I WANT TO BE 02:08:13.719 --> 02:08:19.988 MORE OF A PERSON OF GOD, YOU GOT TO SIT ON YOUR FLESHLY DESIRES. 02:08:19.988 --> 02:08:26.408 YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GIVE IN TO WHAT YOUR FLESH WANTS. RIGHT? YOU 02:08:26.408 --> 02:08:29.679 GOTTA LET JESUS HAVE A SAY IN IT. THAT'S WHY HE'S LORD. HE'S 02:08:29.679 --> 02:08:32.588 LORD OF ALL, RIGHT? NOT JUST LORD OF WHATEVER I'M GONNA GIVE 02:08:32.588 --> 02:08:35.798 HIM. I KNOW HE WANTS TO BE LORD OF EVERYTHING. AND SO IT 02:08:35.798 --> 02:08:38.859 REPRESENTS YOUR FLESHLY NATURE. JOB 11, VERSE 12, LOOK AT WHAT 02:08:38.859 --> 02:08:45.128 IT SAYS. FOR AN EMPTY-HEADED MAN WILL BE WISE, BUT A WILD DONKEY 02:08:45.128 --> 02:08:48.447 COLT IS BORN A MAN. ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT THE KING JAMES, PUT IT 02:08:48.447 --> 02:08:51.998 IN THE KING JAMES. IT'S EVEN BETTER. I THINK THEY, FOR VAIN 02:08:51.998 --> 02:08:56.408 MAN WOULD BE WISE, THOUGH A MAN BE BORN LIKE A WILD DONKEY CULT. 02:08:56.408 --> 02:09:01.748 SO MAN'S SINFUL NATURE IS THAT OF A DONKEY, KICKING, SCREAMING, 02:09:01.748 --> 02:09:06.158 RED HOT, JUST LIKE THAT LITTLE DONKEY'S DEFINITION. AND WE NEED 02:09:06.158 --> 02:09:11.139 JESUS TO COME. BUT THE MORE YOU SUBMIT TO THE LORD AND WHAT HE 02:09:11.139 --> 02:09:13.929 WANTS FOR YOUR LIFE AND HIS WORD, AND YOU'RE A PERSON OF 02:09:13.929 --> 02:09:18.609 PRAYER AND WORSHIP AND HONOR, AND YOU SEEK TO WALK IN 02:09:18.609 --> 02:09:22.298 RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HUMILITY, THE LORD OF THE COUNTER THEN CAN 02:09:22.298 --> 02:09:27.038 HELP COUNTER YOUR FLESHLY NATURE AND YOUR DESIRES. AMEN? ALL 02:09:27.038 --> 02:09:30.908 RIGHT, THE LAST EXAMPLE I WANNA GIVE YOU, THERE WERE TWO. I WANT 02:09:30.908 --> 02:09:36.069 YOU TO LOOK HERE REAL QUICK AT MATTHEW 27, AND I'M GONNA CLOSE 02:09:36.069 --> 02:09:41.198 WITH THIS IN VERSE 17. LOOK AT THIS ONE, THERE WERE TWO AGAIN. 02:09:41.198 --> 02:09:44.439 THE LORD WAS COUNTERING SOMETHING THAT I THINK AS YOU GO 02:09:44.439 --> 02:09:46.988 INTO GOOD FRIDAY, IN FACT, I INVITE YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TO 02:09:46.988 --> 02:09:50.198 WATCH YOUR GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE. IT'S GONNA BE POWERFUL. WHAT'S 02:09:50.198 --> 02:09:53.439 THAT? SEND IN YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS. WE DO PRAY, WE WILL 02:09:53.439 --> 02:09:56.588 PRAY, AND WE'RE GONNA PRAY FOR YOU THAT ARE HERE. AND WE'RE 02:09:56.588 --> 02:09:58.868 GONNA MINISTER BEFORE GOD. I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT MORE ABOUT THE 02:09:58.868 --> 02:10:01.328 LORD OF THE COUNTER AND THE SENSE OF THE SEASON THAT WE'RE 02:10:01.328 --> 02:10:06.279 IN. BUT LOOK HERE, AS WE CLOSE, YOU SEE TWO AGAIN. "THEREFORE, 02:10:06.279 --> 02:10:08.948 WHEN THEY WERE GATHERED TOGETHER, "PILOTS IN THE MIDDLE, 02:10:08.948 --> 02:10:14.859 AND SAID UNTO THEM, "'WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO RELEASE? "'BAR,'" AND 02:10:14.859 --> 02:10:20.378 REALLY IT SHOULD BE BAR-ABBAS, "OR JESUS, WHICH IS CALLED 02:10:20.378 --> 02:10:25.269 CHRIST." SO YOU HAVE NOW TWO. YOU HAVE BARABBAS WHO IS GUILTY 02:10:25.269 --> 02:10:28.389 AS GUILTY IS GUILTY. JUST LIKE EVERY ONE OF US IN THIS ROOM, WE 02:10:28.389 --> 02:10:31.479 ARE ALL GUILTY OF OUR SIN. THERE'S NO ONE RIGHTEOUS. THIS 02:10:31.479 --> 02:10:35.319 IS WHY WE NEED JESUS, NOT RELIGION. AND ON THE OTHER SIDE 02:10:35.319 --> 02:10:40.389 IS JESUS. JESUS THE CHRIST WHOM THEY CALL. AND AGAIN, IT WAS THE 02:10:40.389 --> 02:10:43.389 LORD OF THE COUNTER BECAUSE THE WORD BAR IN THAT NAME, AND THOSE 02:10:43.389 --> 02:10:46.059 OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING, MAKE SURE THEY CAN SEE IT. IT MEANS 02:10:46.059 --> 02:10:56.523 SON OF, THAT'S WHY SIMON BARJONAH, OKAY? SON OF BARJONAH. 02:10:56.523 --> 02:11:01.988 HOW MANY KNOW THAT'S WHAT BAR MEANT, SON? SO HE WAS SON OF 02:11:01.988 --> 02:11:06.219 ABBA, NOTICE IT HAS AN S, PLURAL. SO BARABBAS REPRESENTED 02:11:06.219 --> 02:11:16.418 A SON OF EVERY NATURAL DAD, FATHER, RIGHT, DONOR OF HUMAN 02:11:16.418 --> 02:11:21.189 SEED. HE REPRESENTED ALL OF THAT. AND EVERY MAN IS GUILTY. 02:11:21.189 --> 02:11:26.259 THAT'S WHY IT WAS BAR, ABBA IS FOUND IN THAT NAME. BUT HERE'S 02:11:26.259 --> 02:11:30.878 WHAT'S EVEN, YOU CAN GOOGLE IT IF YOU WANT, AND YOU'LL FIND OUT 02:11:30.878 --> 02:11:37.730 THAT HISTORY SAYS, EVEN IT'S DOCUMENTED IN THE ROMAN 02:11:37.730 --> 02:11:45.588 INSCRIPTIONS, THAT HIS NAME WAS JESUS BARABBAS. HIS NAME WAS 02:11:45.588 --> 02:11:51.378 JESUS. AND HE'S STANDING OVER HERE, NOT THE REAL JESUS, JUST 02:11:51.378 --> 02:11:56.868 LIKE PILATE, NOT THE REAL KING, NOT THE REAL SON OF GOD, NOT THE 02:11:56.868 --> 02:12:02.149 REAL PRINCE OF PEACE, TIBERIUS CAESAR, AND BARABBAS IS STANDING 02:12:02.149 --> 02:12:06.859 THERE, HIS NAME IS JESUS. YOU HAVE JESUS BARABBAS, WHO 02:12:06.859 --> 02:12:12.349 REPRESENTS THE SON OF EVERY HUMAN FATHER THAT HAS MADE EVERY 02:12:12.349 --> 02:12:15.139 HUMAN BEING GUILTY AS A RESULT THAT ARE BORN IN THE EARTH. AND 02:12:15.139 --> 02:12:21.198 YOU HAVE JESUS, THE SON OF WHO? ABBA FATHER. AND WHAT DID THEY 02:12:21.198 --> 02:12:28.458 DO? THEY CRUCIFIED JESUS, AN INNOCENT MAN, FOR EVERY JESUS OR 02:12:28.458 --> 02:12:34.287 JESUS BARABBAS, EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE, 02:12:34.287 --> 02:12:41.719 BECAUSE JESUS COUNTERED SO THAT WE COULD BE FREE, EVEN THOUGH WE 02:12:41.719 --> 02:12:45.349 WERE GUILTY OF SIN. AMEN. HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU 02:12:45.349 --> 02:12:48.529 FOR THIS WORD. I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD SEAL IT IN THE HEARTS OF 02:12:48.529 --> 02:12:52.488 THE PEOPLE. AND LORD, BEFORE WE END THIS SERVICE TODAY, VERY 02:12:52.488 --> 02:12:56.538 QUICKLY WE WANNA SAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU FROM THE DEPTHS OF OUR 02:12:56.538 --> 02:13:00.708 HEART. THAT WHEN THE ENEMY TRIES TO COME IN, NOT ONLY HAVE YOU 02:13:00.708 --> 02:13:04.429 ALREADY LIKE A FLOOD, RAISED UP A STANDARD, BUT YOU'LL DO IT 02:13:04.429 --> 02:13:07.698 AGAIN BECAUSE YOU'RE THE LORD OF THE COUNTER.

WHAT A 02:13:15.378 --> 02:13:19.668 REMARKABLE MESSAGE TODAY. IT'S A GREAT ONE TO GO BACK AND REVIEW. 02:13:19.668 --> 02:13:23.748 IF YOU'RE A WORKER TODAY AND YOU'VE GOT AN ASSIGNMENT IN THE 02:13:23.748 --> 02:13:27.408 CONNECT CAFE OR THE INFORMATION CENTER, YOU CAN BE DISMISSED AT 02:13:27.408 --> 02:13:29.628 THIS TIME. THE REST OF YOU, IF YOU COULD JUST STICK WITH ME FOR 02:13:29.628 --> 02:13:33.588 A COUPLE MINUTES, I'D APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. ALTAR TEAM, IF YOU 02:13:33.588 --> 02:13:38.389 WOULD COME UP AT THIS POINT IN TIME. THE ALTAR TEAM, AS PASTOR 02:13:38.389 --> 02:13:41.689 HANK MENTIONED ALREADY, IS HERE FOR YOU, AND IF YOU NEED 02:13:41.689 --> 02:13:46.998 ADDITIONAL PRAYER TODAY, THEY'RE HERE, WILLING, READY, AND ABLE 02:13:46.998 --> 02:13:50.868 TO PRAY WITH YOU EFFECTIVELY. AND BEFORE WE LEAVE, I'LL ALSO 02:13:50.868 --> 02:13:55.038 PUT UP A PRAYER LINE NUMBER. THOSE OF YOU ONLINE CAN USE THAT 02:13:55.038 --> 02:13:58.849 FOR ADDITIONAL PRAYER IF YOU NEED IT. WELL, PASTOR HANK DID A 02:13:58.849 --> 02:14:02.149 GREAT JOB TALKING ABOUT JESUS TODAY. I DON'T THINK I NEED TO 02:14:02.149 --> 02:14:07.038 SAY A WHOLE LOT MORE OTHER THAN IF YOU HAVE NOT MADE JESUS 02:14:07.038 --> 02:14:10.429 CHRIST THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE, TODAY IS THE DAY TO DO IT. THE 02:14:10.429 --> 02:14:14.149 BIBLE SAYS TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION. DON'T WAIT ON THAT. 02:14:14.149 --> 02:14:20.599 HIS WORD IS TRUE. ALL 66 BOOKS IN THIS BIBLE ARE TRUE. AND HE 02:14:20.599 --> 02:14:24.498 DID, PASTOR DID A GREAT JOB TALKING ABOUT AND DECLARING WHO 02:14:24.498 --> 02:14:28.998 JESUS SAID THAT HE WAS AND WHO HE DECLARED AND WHAT THE PLAN IS 02:14:28.998 --> 02:14:33.168 FOR MANKIND AND HOW JESUS CONQUERS ALL. BUT WE HAVE TO 02:14:33.168 --> 02:14:37.729 MAKE THE DECISION TO ACCEPT THAT. HE DOESN'T FORCE US ON IT, 02:14:37.729 --> 02:14:40.998 FORCE THAT ON US. HE DOES NOT FORCE US TO MAKE THAT DECISION. 02:14:40.998 --> 02:14:43.309 YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN 02:14:43.309 --> 02:14:49.038 ACCEPT WHAT HE'S DONE FOR US. BUT JUST AS TRUE AS JESUS AND 02:14:49.038 --> 02:14:51.859 WHAT HE DID FOR US BY GOING TO THE CROSS AND HOW HE GAVE HIS 02:14:51.859 --> 02:14:56.448 LIFE AND HOW HE SITS ON THE THRONE AND RULES, AND SOMEDAY 02:14:56.448 --> 02:14:59.689 HE'S COMING BACK FOR US, JUST AS TRUE AS ALL THAT IS, THERE'S 02:14:59.689 --> 02:15:02.599 ANOTHER TRUTH. SOME CHURCHES DON'T TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE 02:15:02.599 --> 02:15:05.929 BECAUSE THEY'VE JUST GONE MODERNISTIC. AND THAT'S THE 02:15:05.929 --> 02:15:10.698 TRUTH THAT THERE IS A HELL. THAT'S AWAITING THOSE THAT 02:15:10.698 --> 02:15:16.338 REFUSE TO BOW. WE SANG THAT SONG THIS MORNING, "MAJESTY." EVERY 02:15:16.338 --> 02:15:19.099 KNEE WILL BOW, AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS. IT DOESN'T MATTER 02:15:19.099 --> 02:15:22.279 WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT TODAY. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. YOU 02:15:22.279 --> 02:15:27.498 WILL SOMEDAY BOW TO JESUS. THAT'S A TRUTH, JUST AS TRUE AS 02:15:27.498 --> 02:15:31.788 EVERYTHING ELSE IS IN THE BIBLE. BUT THERE'S ALSO A TRUTH THAT 02:15:31.788 --> 02:15:36.979 THERE IS A HELL FOR THOSE THAT REFUSE. THERE'S A HELL WAITING. 02:15:36.979 --> 02:15:41.118 AND ONCE YOU GO THERE, IT'S ETERNAL. ETERNITY IS A LONG, 02:15:41.118 --> 02:15:44.389 LONG TIME. IT MEANS YOU CAN NEVER ESCAPE. THERE'S NO PAROLE 02:15:44.389 --> 02:15:48.918 BOARD, NO WISHING I WOULD HAVE MADE ANOTHER DECISION AT THAT 02:15:48.918 --> 02:15:52.069 POINT. SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU QUICKLY JUST TO BOW YOUR HEADS 02:15:52.069 --> 02:15:55.399 WITH ME TODAY. AND THERE MIGHT BE SOMEONE HERE. AND IT DOESN'T 02:15:55.399 --> 02:15:58.009 MATTER IF YOU'RE EIGHT YEARS OLD, YOU'RE 80 YEARS OLD. 02:15:58.009 --> 02:16:02.448 DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'VE BEEN HERE ONE TIME. SOMETIMES, IF 02:16:02.448 --> 02:16:06.798 YOU'RE NOT 100% SURE THAT WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH, HEAVEN 02:16:06.798 --> 02:16:10.488 WOULD BE YOUR HOME, AND YOU'RE NOT 100% SURE THAT YOU'VE GIVEN 02:16:10.488 --> 02:16:13.759 YOUR HEART TO JESUS CHRIST, THAT'S WHERE IT STARTS. THAT'S 02:16:13.759 --> 02:16:17.418 THE BEGINNING POINT. IT'S WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS THE NEW BIRTH. 02:16:17.418 --> 02:16:20.509 AND IT STARTS WITH A SIMPLE PRAYER. AND I WANNA PRAY WITH 02:16:20.509 --> 02:16:24.498 YOU TODAY AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THAT CONFIRMATION SO WHEN 02:16:24.498 --> 02:16:27.889 YOU LEAVE THIS PLACE OR WHEN YOU TURN OFF YOUR TELEVISION OR YOUR 02:16:27.889 --> 02:16:31.878 DEVICE THAT YOU’RE WATCHING FROM, YOU’LL KNOW 100% THAT YOU 02:16:31.878 --> 02:16:35.180 ARE THE LORD’S AND HE’LL BE YOUR MASTER AND YOU CAN SERVE HIM. 02:16:35.180 --> 02:16:38.510 AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, YOU WALK INTO AN ABUNDANT LIFE ON THIS 02:16:38.510 --> 02:16:42.260 EARTH, AND YOU ALSO RECEIVE HIS PLAN OF REDEMPTION, YOU RECEIVE 02:16:42.260 --> 02:16:47.808 HEALING, YOU RECEIVE FINANCES. THERE'S JUST A TERRIFIC LIST OF 02:16:47.808 --> 02:16:50.869 BENEFITS OF BEING A CHRISTIAN AND SERVING GOD WHILE YOU'RE ON 02:16:50.869 --> 02:16:54.020 THIS EARTH. BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE ETERNITY TO LOOK FORWARD 02:16:54.020 --> 02:16:58.129 TO. AMEN, AMEN. SO WHILE YOUR HEADS ARE BOWED AND YOUR EYES 02:16:58.129 --> 02:17:00.918 ARE CLOSED, IS THERE SOMEONE HERE TODAY AND YOU SAY, "PASTOR 02:17:00.918 --> 02:17:03.888 DOUG, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ME. I NEED TO MAKE THAT DECISION 02:17:03.888 --> 02:17:07.728 TODAY. I DON'T WANT TO PUT IT OFF ANYMORE. OR MAYBE YOU HAVE 02:17:07.728 --> 02:17:11.689 STRAYED AND YOU'VE GOTTEN OFF PATH. YOU USED TO SERVE GOD, YOU 02:17:11.689 --> 02:17:15.828 NO LONGER DO. EITHER WAY, YOU CAN COME BACK TO HIM. YOU CAN 02:17:15.828 --> 02:17:18.691 MAKE AN INITIAL DECISION FOR HIM OR YOU CAN COME BACK TO HIM AND 02:17:18.691 --> 02:17:21.558 MAKE IT RIGHT TODAY. AND I'M GONNA ASK YOU WHEN I COUNT TO 02:17:21.558 --> 02:17:24.168 THREE, IF THERE'S SOMEONE HERE TODAY AND YOU SAY, "THAT'S ME, I 02:17:24.168 --> 02:17:27.408 NEED PRAYER, I WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT. I WANNA MAKE 100% SURE 02:17:27.408 --> 02:17:32.658 THAT I WILL BE WITH THOSE THAT LEAVE THIS EARTH AND GO TO 02:17:32.658 --> 02:17:35.629 HEAVEN SOMEDAY IN THE FUTURE. IF THAT'S YOU, WHEN I COUNT TO 02:17:35.629 --> 02:17:40.879 THREE, RAISE YOUR HAND. ONE, TWO, THREE. RAISE YOUR HAND IF 02:17:40.879 --> 02:17:44.388 THERE'S SOMEONE HERE. I SEE A HAND IN THE BACK. ANYONE ELSE? 02:17:44.388 --> 02:17:48.558 IS THERE ANOTHER HAND OVER HERE? OKAY, I SEE ONE HERE. ANYONE 02:17:48.558 --> 02:17:51.558 ELSE IN THIS BUILDING? THANK YOU FOR BEING BOLD ENOUGH TO RAISE 02:17:51.558 --> 02:17:56.324 YOUR HAND. BECAUSE YOU RAISED YOUR HAND, I BELIEVE THAT'S AN 02:17:56.324 --> 02:17:59.600 INITIAL STEP, YOU SAYING THAT WITH YOUR HEART. BUT I'D LIKE TO 02:17:59.600 --> 02:18:03.738 DO ONE MORE THING ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT. EVERYONE THAT JESUS 02:18:03.738 --> 02:18:07.340 CALLED, HE CALLED PUBLICLY IN HIS EARTHLY MINISTRY. AND I 02:18:07.340 --> 02:18:09.918 BELIEVE WHEN YOU MAKE A PUBLIC DECISION, YOU'RE SAYING, "I 02:18:09.918 --> 02:18:14.539 DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK. "I DON'T CARE WHAT CHURCHES THINK, 02:18:14.539 --> 02:18:17.897 MAN THINKS. "I'M ONLY ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD, AND I WANNA 02:18:17.897 --> 02:18:20.718 HONOR HIM." SO I'M GONNA ASK YOU, SIR, JUST TO STEP OUT OF 02:18:20.718 --> 02:18:24.498 YOUR SEAT AND COME UP HERE RIGHT NOW. WE'RE GONNA PRAY AND AGREE. 02:18:24.498 --> 02:18:27.049 IF THERE WAS SOMEONE IN THE BACK, I COULDN'T SEE WHO HAD 02:18:27.049 --> 02:18:30.590 THEIR HAND UP IN THE BACK. COME ON UP HERE RIGHT NOW, BE BOLD. 02:18:30.590 --> 02:18:34.829 LET'S GIVE HIM A HAND AS HE COMES TODAY. GOD BLESS YOU. I 02:18:34.829 --> 02:18:38.567 MET YOU EARLIER, IS IT ALAN? ALAN, OKAY, GOD BLESS YOU, ALAN. 02:18:38.567 --> 02:18:41.779 THANK YOU FOR COMING TODAY. I WANNA SAY SOMETHING ABOUT ALAN. 02:18:41.779 --> 02:18:45.799 I MET HIM BEFORE THE SERVICE TODAY AND HE WAS INVITED HERE 02:18:45.799 --> 02:18:48.326 TO COME TO THE MEN'S MINISTRY YESTERDAY. 02:18:48.326 --> 02:18:50.959 AND HE ALMOST WAS GOING TO LEAVE EARLY, BUT HE 02:18:50.959 --> 02:18:53.787 LOVED IT AND HE STAYED. OH, I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE YOU. WHAT'S 02:18:53.787 --> 02:19:00.841 YOUR NAME, SIR? THANK YOU, NOAH, FOR COMING. THAT'S A GOOD NAME. 02:19:00.841 --> 02:19:05.209 ARE YOU JUST WITH NOAH? YOU'RE HERE WITH NOAH. THAT'S FINE. 02:19:05.209 --> 02:19:07.430 GUYS, LOOK AT ME FOR A MINUTE. I'M GOING TO TALK TO YOU FOR 02:19:07.430 --> 02:19:10.760 JUST A MINUTE. JUST TURN AROUND AND LOOK AT ME. NOAH AND ALAN, 02:19:10.760 --> 02:19:13.520 LET ME ADDRESS SOMETHING WITH YOU. WHEN YOU MAKE THIS DECISION 02:19:13.520 --> 02:19:16.039 TODAY, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU, GOD'S 02:19:16.039 --> 02:19:18.949 PROUD OF YOU. AND YOU KNOW, YOU'VE PROBABLY GOT RELATIVES 02:19:18.949 --> 02:19:21.408 THAT ARE IN HEAVEN NOW. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU DO OR NOT, MAYBE A 02:19:21.408 --> 02:19:24.859 GRANDPARENT, MAYBE AN AUNT OR AN UNCLE, OR WHO KNOWS, MAYBE YOUR 02:19:24.859 --> 02:19:27.828 MOM OR DAD. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS 02:19:27.828 --> 02:19:30.439 WHERE YOU'RE AT ON, ARE THEY STILL ALIVE? THAT'S WHAT I'M 02:19:30.439 --> 02:19:34.520 SAYING. BUT I DO KNOW THIS, THE BIBLE SAYS, WHEN SOMEONE COMES 02:19:34.520 --> 02:19:38.029 TO GOD, REPENTS OF THEIR SIN, AND MAKES A DECISION FOR JESUS 02:19:38.029 --> 02:19:41.629 CHRIST. THOSE THAT ARE IN HEAVEN THAT HAVE GONE BEFORE US, 02:19:41.629 --> 02:19:44.840 REJOICE AND HAVE A PARTY. SO THEY'RE PARTYING IN HEAVEN JUST 02:19:44.840 --> 02:19:47.718 BECAUSE NOAH AND ALAN, YOU'RE MAKING THIS DECISION. IT'S GONNA 02:19:47.718 --> 02:19:51.978 CHANGE YOUR LIFE. AS YOU FOLLOW GOD, HE'LL HAS AN ABUNDANT PLAN 02:19:51.978 --> 02:19:55.398 FOR YOU. AND I CAN SEE IT ON YOU RIGHT NOW. GOD'S GOT A DIRECTION 02:19:55.398 --> 02:19:58.609 FOR YOU. HE'S GOT WISDOM FOR YOU. HE'S GOT A PLAN FOR YOU. 02:19:58.609 --> 02:20:01.939 AND IF YOU WALK IT OUT STARTING NOW AND YOU DON'T TURN YOUR BACK 02:20:01.939 --> 02:20:05.070 ON HIM, HE'LL GIVE YOU A VICTORY THROUGH THIS LIFE THAT YOU'VE 02:20:05.070 --> 02:20:08.575 NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND HE'LL HELP YOU TO SEE YOUR PLAN. AND 02:20:08.575 --> 02:20:11.745 YOUR PLAN IS TO REACH PEOPLE FOR OTHERS AND TO BE AN 02:20:11.745 --> 02:20:14.081 EFFECTIVE WITNESS FOR OTHERS SO THAT OTHERS COME INTO THE 02:20:14.081 --> 02:20:16.250 KINGDOM TOO.
