00:00:14.204 --> 00:00:16.573
Today i'm teaching verse by
00:00:16.573 --> 00:00:18.942
Verse through psalms 119.
00:00:18.942 --> 00:00:20.643
There's 176 verses in this
00:00:20.643 --> 00:00:24.380
Psalm. it's the longest bi...
00:00:24.380 --> 00:00:26.282
Chapter in the bible. this
00:00:26.282 --> 00:00:28.284
Is my living commentary,
00:00:28.284 --> 00:00:30.086
A digital commentary that
00:00:30.086 --> 00:00:31.988
I've written on over 27,000
00:00:31.988 --> 00:00:34.090
Verses in the bible out of the
00:00:34.090 --> 00:00:36.459
31,000. and we've taken the
00:00:36.459 --> 00:00:38.561
Portion that's in psalms
00:00:38.561 --> 00:00:39.562
119 and put it in this
00:00:39.562 --> 00:00:41.798
100-page little book.
00:00:41.798 --> 00:00:43.766
We are now in psalms,
00:00:43.766 --> 00:00:45.368
Chapter 119, and verse
00:00:45.435 --> 00:00:47.871
Chapter 119, and verse 57. it says, thou art my
00:00:47.937 --> 00:00:49.772
57. it says, thou art my portion, o lord: i have
00:00:49.839 --> 00:00:52.108
Portion, o lord: i have said that i would keep
00:00:52.175 --> 00:00:53.309
Said that i would keep thy words. and again, one
00:00:53.376 --> 00:00:55.378
Of the things that i've said
00:00:55.445 --> 00:00:56.713
Of the things that i've said throughout this entire
00:00:56.779 --> 00:00:57.680
Throughout this entire series this week is that every
00:00:57.747 --> 00:00:59.415
Series this week is that every single verse in psalms 119, is
00:00:59.482 --> 00:01:02.952
Single verse in psalms 119, is somehow or another referring to
00:01:03.019 --> 00:01:04.787
Somehow or another referring to the word of god and what it
00:01:04.854 --> 00:01:06.689
The word of god and what it will produce in our life.
00:01:06.756 --> 00:01:08.691
In this verse, it says that
00:01:08.758 --> 00:01:10.360
In this verse, it says that god is our portion. thou
00:01:10.426 --> 00:01:11.928
God is our portion. thou art my portion, o lord.
00:01:11.995 --> 00:01:13.663
You know, many people
00:01:13.730 --> 00:01:14.597
You know, many people look at what god can do
00:01:14.664 --> 00:01:16.366
Look at what god can do for them, but they don't
00:01:16.432 --> 00:01:18.134
For them, but they don't understand that we not only
00:01:18.201 --> 00:01:19.636
Understand that we not only have promises from god,
00:01:19.702 --> 00:01:21.171
Have promises from god, god himself loves us.
00:01:21.237 --> 00:01:24.240
God himself loves us. he is with us. he's in us.
00:01:24.307 --> 00:01:27.377
In romans, chapter 8, i believe
00:01:27.443 --> 00:01:29.179
In romans, chapter 8, i believe it's verse 9, if any man have
00:01:29.245 --> 00:01:30.947
It's verse 9, if any man have not the spirit of christ,
00:01:31.014 --> 00:01:32.282
Not the spirit of christ, he is none of his. you literally
00:01:32.348 --> 00:01:34.417
Have god living on the inside of
00:01:34.484 --> 00:01:36.886
Have god living on the inside of you. so it's not like you just
00:01:36.953 --> 00:01:38.688
You. so it's not like you just have some benefits from having a
00:01:38.755 --> 00:01:40.990
Have some benefits from having a relationship with god. you have
00:01:41.057 --> 00:01:43.159
Relationship with god. you have god himself, the one who
00:01:43.226 --> 00:01:45.261
God himself, the one who created the universe,
00:01:45.328 --> 00:01:47.330
Created the universe, living on the inside of us.
00:01:47.397 --> 00:01:49.032
Colossians, chapter 1, verse
00:01:49.098 --> 00:01:50.333
Colossians, chapter 1, verse 27 says, this mystery of christ
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.269
27 says, this mystery of christ in us, the hope of glory.
00:01:53.336 --> 00:01:55.705
Man, we could literally
00:01:55.772 --> 00:01:56.706
Man, we could literally spend weeks, months,
00:01:56.773 --> 00:01:58.007
Spend weeks, months, years talking about what it
00:01:58.074 --> 00:02:00.210
Years talking about what it means to have god himself living
00:02:00.276 --> 00:02:02.312
Means to have god himself living on the inside of us. but that's
00:02:02.378 --> 00:02:04.113
On the inside of us. but that's what the word of god reveals.
00:02:04.180 --> 00:02:06.616
What the word of god reveals. again, this is not the way that
00:02:06.683 --> 00:02:08.051
Again, this is not the way that most people think. this is why
00:02:08.117 --> 00:02:09.652
Most people think. this is why you need to be in the word of
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.222
You need to be in the word of god. you need the word of god to
00:02:12.288 --> 00:02:13.823
God. you need the word of god to be in you. you wouldn't know
00:02:13.890 --> 00:02:16.059
Be in you. you wouldn't know these things. who would believe
00:02:16.125 --> 00:02:18.161
These things. who would believe that god himself, who... you
00:02:18.228 --> 00:02:20.230
That god himself, who... you know, there's a scripture that
00:02:20.296 --> 00:02:21.231
Know, there's a scripture that says, the heaven, even the
00:02:21.297 --> 00:02:22.465
Says, the heaven, even the heaven of the heavens, can't
00:02:22.532 --> 00:02:24.300
Heaven of the heavens, can't contain god, and yet god lives
00:02:24.367 --> 00:02:28.137
Contain god, and yet god lives on the inside of us. this defies
00:02:28.204 --> 00:02:30.840
On the inside of us. this defies logic. it's something that maybe
00:02:30.907 --> 00:02:33.376
Logic. it's something that maybe with our peanut brains we can't
00:02:33.443 --> 00:02:35.245
With our peanut brains we can't fully comprehend, but we can
00:02:35.311 --> 00:02:37.680
Fully comprehend, but we can accept it and acknowledge that
00:02:37.747 --> 00:02:40.550
Accept it and acknowledge that god himself lives on the inside
00:02:40.617 --> 00:02:42.418
God himself lives on the inside of us. man, that's awesome.
00:02:42.485 --> 00:02:43.920
In verse 58, it says,
00:02:43.987 --> 00:02:45.355
In verse 58, it says, i entreated thy favour
00:02:45.421 --> 00:02:47.323
I entreated thy favour with my whole heart: be
00:02:47.390 --> 00:02:49.359
With my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to
00:02:49.425 --> 00:02:51.461
Merciful unto me according to thy word. and again, we wouldn't
00:02:51.527 --> 00:02:54.030
Know the goodness of god. just
00:02:54.097 --> 00:02:55.632
Know the goodness of god. just like i was talking about having
00:02:55.698 --> 00:02:56.966
Like i was talking about having god himself live on the inside
00:02:57.033 --> 00:02:59.402
God himself live on the inside of us, nobody would ever know
00:02:59.469 --> 00:03:01.571
Of us, nobody would ever know that if it wasn't for the word
00:03:01.638 --> 00:03:02.705
That if it wasn't for the word of god. did you know if you
00:03:02.772 --> 00:03:04.340
Of god. did you know if you compare christianity to any
00:03:04.407 --> 00:03:07.010
Compare christianity to any other religion in the world,
00:03:07.076 --> 00:03:08.845
Christianity is the only
00:03:10.713 --> 00:03:12.682
Christianity is the only religion, if you want to use
00:03:12.749 --> 00:03:14.117
Religion, if you want to use that word to describe it, that
00:03:14.183 --> 00:03:16.219
That word to describe it, that has a savior. no, no other
00:03:16.286 --> 00:03:19.022
Has a savior. no, no other religion has a savior. you know,
00:03:19.088 --> 00:03:21.224
Religion has a savior. you know, if you're a, a muslim, you have
00:03:21.291 --> 00:03:24.093
If you're a, a muslim, you have to go out and do jihad, and it's
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:25.828
To go out and do jihad, and it's based on your works, and only if
00:03:25.895 --> 00:03:27.930
Based on your works, and only if you are a martyr can you
00:03:27.997 --> 00:03:30.033
You are a martyr can you guarantee your entrance into
00:03:30.099 --> 00:03:31.968
Guarantee your entrance into paradise, and other family
00:03:32.035 --> 00:03:33.536
Paradise, and other family members. if you go into any
00:03:33.603 --> 00:03:35.638
Members. if you go into any other religion, buddhism,
00:03:35.705 --> 00:03:37.340
Other religion, buddhism, hinduism, hare krishna, hare
00:03:37.407 --> 00:03:39.175
Hinduism, hare krishna, hare lam, anything you want, all of
00:03:39.242 --> 00:03:42.011
Lam, anything you want, all of the emphasis on what you have to
00:03:42.078 --> 00:03:44.180
The emphasis on what you have to do, on the sacrifices you have
00:03:44.247 --> 00:03:46.282
Do, on the sacrifices you have to make. but true christianity
00:03:46.349 --> 00:03:49.185
To make. but true christianity is different from every religion
00:03:49.252 --> 00:03:51.020
Is different from every religion because we have a savior. god
00:03:51.087 --> 00:03:53.890
Because we have a savior. god himself became a man and took
00:03:53.956 --> 00:03:56.893
Himself became a man and took our sins and did all these
00:03:56.959 --> 00:03:58.461
Our sins and did all these things for us. and the reason
00:03:58.528 --> 00:04:00.496
Things for us. and the reason i'm bringing this out is who
00:04:00.563 --> 00:04:02.098
I'm bringing this out is who would have ever thought of this?
00:04:02.165 --> 00:04:03.166
Would have ever thought of this? no other religion on the planet
00:04:03.232 --> 00:04:05.001
No other religion on the planet has ever thought of anything
00:04:05.068 --> 00:04:06.469
Has ever thought of anything like that. but that was revealed
00:04:06.536 --> 00:04:08.971
Like that. but that was revealed to us through the word of god.
00:04:09.038 --> 00:04:11.174
To us through the word of god. the word of god shows us things
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.010
The word of god shows us things that are so counterintuitive to
00:04:14.077 --> 00:04:16.646
That are so counterintuitive to the way any of us would have
00:04:16.713 --> 00:04:18.247
The way any of us would have thought on our own, that we just
00:04:18.314 --> 00:04:20.583
Thought on our own, that we just need the word of god to
00:04:20.650 --> 00:04:22.418
Need the word of god to enlighten us and to show
00:04:22.485 --> 00:04:24.687
Enlighten us and to show us the ways of god.
00:04:24.754 --> 00:04:26.823
In verse 59, it says, i thought
00:04:26.889 --> 00:04:28.925
In verse 59, it says, i thought on my ways, and turned
00:04:28.991 --> 00:04:30.893
On my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:33.896
Did you know if anybody
00:04:33.963 --> 00:04:35.131
Did you know if anybody would really stop and
00:04:35.198 --> 00:04:36.499
Would really stop and just think about the
00:04:36.566 --> 00:04:37.767
Just think about the way their life is going,
00:04:37.834 --> 00:04:39.769
Way their life is going, they would recognize,
00:04:39.836 --> 00:04:40.737
They would recognize, that man, i need help.
00:04:40.803 --> 00:04:42.538
There's a scripture in
00:04:42.605 --> 00:04:43.840
There's a scripture in jeremiah, chapter 10, verse 23,
00:04:43.906 --> 00:04:45.908
Jeremiah, chapter 10, verse 23, and it says, o lord, i know that
00:04:45.975 --> 00:04:47.343
And it says, o lord, i know that the way of man is not in
00:04:47.410 --> 00:04:49.579
The way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that
00:04:49.645 --> 00:04:51.814
Himself: it is not in man that walks to direct his own steps.
00:04:51.881 --> 00:04:55.017
Now god has given us the choice.
00:04:55.084 --> 00:04:57.153
Now god has given us the choice. he won't force his will upon us.
00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:00.123
He won't force his will upon us. we have the choice whether we
00:05:00.189 --> 00:05:01.758
We have the choice whether we become bitter or better. but the
00:05:01.824 --> 00:05:03.893
Become bitter or better. but the right choice is to submit
00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:05.962
Right choice is to submit ourself to god and his way of
00:05:06.028 --> 00:05:07.663
Ourself to god and his way of thinking. and so this is what
00:05:07.730 --> 00:05:09.465
Thinking. and so this is what this is saying, that when you
00:05:09.532 --> 00:05:10.867
This is saying, that when you think on your ways, if you would
00:05:10.933 --> 00:05:12.301
Think on your ways, if you would look back and see that the
00:05:12.368 --> 00:05:13.569
Look back and see that the mistakes that you've made, the
00:05:13.636 --> 00:05:15.438
Mistakes that you've made, the problems that you've had in your
00:05:15.505 --> 00:05:16.973
Problems that you've had in your life, the vast majority of them
00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:19.509
Life, the vast majority of them are self-inflicted. and if we
00:05:19.575 --> 00:05:21.878
Are self-inflicted. and if we would recognize that, we would
00:05:21.944 --> 00:05:23.212
Would recognize that, we would just need to come to a place to
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:24.914
Just need to come to a place to where, oh god, i need you to
00:05:24.981 --> 00:05:26.315
Where, oh god, i need you to direct my paths. i'm not smart
00:05:26.382 --> 00:05:28.584
Direct my paths. i'm not smart enough to run my own life. the
00:05:28.651 --> 00:05:31.854
Enough to run my own life. the word of god is the only
00:05:31.921 --> 00:05:34.490
Word of god is the only sure guide that we have,
00:05:34.557 --> 00:05:36.192
Sure guide that we have, and we need to get to
00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:37.026
And we need to get to where we depend upon it.
00:05:37.093 --> 00:05:39.195
In verse 60, says, i made haste,
00:05:39.262 --> 00:05:42.298
In verse 60, says, i made haste, and delayed not to keep
00:05:42.365 --> 00:05:43.766
And delayed not to keep thy commandments. in other
00:05:43.833 --> 00:05:45.535
Words, this is saying that we
00:05:45.601 --> 00:05:46.536
Words, this is saying that we just need to be quick to obey
00:05:46.602 --> 00:05:48.838
Just need to be quick to obey god's command. i'm sure every
00:05:48.905 --> 00:05:50.740
God's command. i'm sure every one of you probably heard
00:05:50.807 --> 00:05:51.774
One of you probably heard somebody get up and give a
00:05:51.841 --> 00:05:52.675
Somebody get up and give a testimony about god told them to
00:05:52.742 --> 00:05:54.377
Testimony about god told them to do something, like give in an
00:05:54.444 --> 00:05:55.845
Do something, like give in an offering, or, or to go do
00:05:55.912 --> 00:05:57.613
Offering, or, or to go do something, witness to a person
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:58.948
Something, witness to a person or something, and they struggled
00:05:59.015 --> 00:06:00.750
Or something, and they struggled with it and they just went on,
00:06:00.817 --> 00:06:02.452
With it and they just went on, and for days or weeks or
00:06:02.518 --> 00:06:03.953
And for days or weeks or something, and finally they give
00:06:04.020 --> 00:06:05.721
Something, and finally they give in and they say that they
00:06:05.788 --> 00:06:07.790
In and they say that they obeyed the lord. well,
00:06:07.857 --> 00:06:09.525
Obeyed the lord. well, that's better than not
00:06:09.592 --> 00:06:10.460
That's better than not obeying the lord at all.
00:06:10.526 --> 00:06:11.661
But like this verse says,
00:06:11.727 --> 00:06:12.862
But like this verse says, you need to make haste,
00:06:12.929 --> 00:06:14.363
You need to make haste, and delay not to keep the
00:06:14.430 --> 00:06:16.899
And delay not to keep the commandments of god. did you
00:06:16.966 --> 00:06:18.801
Know that delayed obedience is
00:06:18.868 --> 00:06:21.604
Know that delayed obedience is disobedience? that's a word from
00:06:21.671 --> 00:06:25.441
Disobedience? that's a word from god. there's somebody watching
00:06:25.508 --> 00:06:26.642
God. there's somebody watching this program right now that you
00:06:26.709 --> 00:06:28.144
This program right now that you know god has told you to do
00:06:28.211 --> 00:06:29.512
Know god has told you to do something, and you're kind of
00:06:29.579 --> 00:06:30.613
Something, and you're kind of moving in that direction, but it
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.583
Moving in that direction, but it is delayed obedience, and it's
00:06:33.649 --> 00:06:35.852
Is delayed obedience, and it's actually disobedience. you need
00:06:35.918 --> 00:06:37.420
Actually disobedience. you need to be quick and hasten to keep
00:06:37.487 --> 00:06:40.456
To be quick and hasten to keep the commands of the lord.
00:06:40.523 --> 00:06:42.225
In verse 61, the bands of the
00:06:42.291 --> 00:06:44.660
In verse 61, the bands of the wicked have robbed me: but i
00:06:44.727 --> 00:06:46.896
Wicked have robbed me: but i have not forgotten thy law.
00:06:46.963 --> 00:06:49.265
Regardless of what goes on in
00:06:49.332 --> 00:06:51.133
Regardless of what goes on in this world, you need to
00:06:51.200 --> 00:06:52.034
This world, you need to recognize that it's not god who
00:06:52.101 --> 00:06:54.136
Recognize that it's not god who did this to you. and again, this
00:06:54.203 --> 00:06:55.571
Did this to you. and again, this is one of the mistakes that
00:06:55.638 --> 00:06:57.306
Is one of the mistakes that people make because they don't
00:06:57.373 --> 00:06:58.975
People make because they don't know the word of god. they buy
00:06:59.041 --> 00:07:01.344
Know the word of god. they buy into this thing that god just
00:07:01.410 --> 00:07:02.845
Into this thing that god just sovereignly controls anything
00:07:02.912 --> 00:07:04.981
Sovereignly controls anything that happens, and so even if
00:07:05.047 --> 00:07:06.849
That happens, and so even if you've had terrible things
00:07:06.916 --> 00:07:08.217
You've had terrible things happen, it's god that did it to
00:07:08.284 --> 00:07:09.952
Happen, it's god that did it to you. that's not the truth. but
00:07:10.019 --> 00:07:12.455
You. that's not the truth. but see, if you knew the word of
00:07:12.522 --> 00:07:13.956
See, if you knew the word of god, if you don't forget the
00:07:14.023 --> 00:07:15.625
God, if you don't forget the law, you won't, you won't get
00:07:15.691 --> 00:07:17.627
Law, you won't, you won't get bitter and angry at god. when
00:07:17.693 --> 00:07:19.762
Bitter and angry at god. when anybody says, i'm angry at god,
00:07:19.829 --> 00:07:22.665
Anybody says, i'm angry at god, it's because they believe that
00:07:22.732 --> 00:07:23.966
It's because they believe that god failed to do something. and
00:07:24.033 --> 00:07:27.436
God failed to do something. and it's usually because they were
00:07:27.503 --> 00:07:28.738
It's usually because they were expecting something that wasn't
00:07:28.804 --> 00:07:30.506
Expecting something that wasn't god's will in the first place,
00:07:30.573 --> 00:07:32.174
God's will in the first place, but god cannot lie. god has
00:07:32.241 --> 00:07:34.110
But god cannot lie. god has never failed. and you just need
00:07:34.176 --> 00:07:36.145
Never failed. and you just need to get to a place to where the
00:07:36.212 --> 00:07:37.179
To get to a place to where the word of god is absolute
00:07:37.246 --> 00:07:38.748
Word of god is absolute authority in your life, and
00:07:38.814 --> 00:07:39.949
Authority in your life, and it'll keep you from being
00:07:40.016 --> 00:07:41.150
It'll keep you from being disappointed because you'll
00:07:41.217 --> 00:07:42.885
Disappointed because you'll understand the ways of god and
00:07:42.952 --> 00:07:44.820
Understand the ways of god and understand how things work. and
00:07:44.887 --> 00:07:47.123
Understand how things work. and the average christian doesn't
00:07:47.189 --> 00:07:48.357
The average christian doesn't have that knowledge, and
00:07:48.424 --> 00:07:49.325
Have that knowledge, and because of it, there's
00:07:49.392 --> 00:07:50.359
Because of it, there's problems in their life.
00:07:50.426 --> 00:07:51.894
In verse 62, he says, at
00:07:51.961 --> 00:07:53.496
In verse 62, he says, at midnight i will rise to give
00:07:53.563 --> 00:07:55.565
Midnight i will rise to give thanks unto thee because
00:07:55.631 --> 00:07:57.366
Thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
00:07:57.433 --> 00:07:59.902
This isn't a law that you've
00:07:59.969 --> 00:08:01.337
This isn't a law that you've got to do this. this is
00:08:01.404 --> 00:08:02.572
Got to do this. this is just saying that you
00:08:02.638 --> 00:08:03.439
Just saying that you would be so excited about
00:08:03.506 --> 00:08:05.775
Would be so excited about the word of god, that literally,
00:08:05.841 --> 00:08:07.376
The word of god, that literally, it interrupts your sleep. did
00:08:07.443 --> 00:08:09.345
It interrupts your sleep. did you know that happened to me
00:08:09.412 --> 00:08:10.379
You know that happened to me this morning? i actually woke
00:08:10.446 --> 00:08:12.481
This morning? i actually woke up; it wasn't at midnight, it
00:08:12.548 --> 00:08:14.550
Up; it wasn't at midnight, it was like 5 o'clock in the
00:08:14.617 --> 00:08:15.685
Was like 5 o'clock in the morning. but i was dreaming
00:08:15.751 --> 00:08:17.353
Morning. but i was dreaming about ministering the word of
00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:19.155
About ministering the word of god, and god spoke something to
00:08:19.221 --> 00:08:20.723
God, and god spoke something to me that i've been thinking about
00:08:20.790 --> 00:08:22.091
Me that i've been thinking about and just revealed it to me. and
00:08:22.158 --> 00:08:23.259
And just revealed it to me. and i woke up from a dream because
00:08:23.326 --> 00:08:26.362
I woke up from a dream because god was speaking to me. you can
00:08:26.429 --> 00:08:27.763
God was speaking to me. you can get so excited about the word of
00:08:27.830 --> 00:08:29.465
Get so excited about the word of god and the revelation that it's
00:08:29.532 --> 00:08:30.967
God and the revelation that it's bringing to you, that man, it
00:08:31.033 --> 00:08:32.234
Bringing to you, that man, it wakes you up in the middle of
00:08:32.301 --> 00:08:33.502
Wakes you up in the middle of the night. now again, you need
00:08:33.569 --> 00:08:36.706
The night. now again, you need to get good sleep, but i'm
00:08:36.772 --> 00:08:37.873
To get good sleep, but i'm saying what a blessing to be so
00:08:37.940 --> 00:08:39.542
Saying what a blessing to be so excited about the things of the
00:08:39.609 --> 00:08:41.010
Excited about the things of the lord that even at midnight
00:08:41.077 --> 00:08:42.445
Lord that even at midnight you'll get up and be praising
00:08:42.511 --> 00:08:44.513
You'll get up and be praising god for all of his righteous
00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:46.248
God for all of his righteous judgments that are operating
00:08:46.315 --> 00:08:47.650
Judgments that are operating in your life. that's awesome. in
00:08:47.717 --> 00:08:50.386
Verse 63, i am a companion of
00:08:50.453 --> 00:08:52.922
Verse 63, i am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of
00:08:52.989 --> 00:08:54.957
All them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
00:08:55.024 --> 00:08:57.727
Again, there's many scriptures
00:08:57.793 --> 00:08:59.328
Again, there's many scriptures that go along with this, about,
00:08:59.395 --> 00:09:02.498
You know, like in second
00:09:02.565 --> 00:09:03.799
You know, like in second corinthians, chapter 6,
00:09:03.866 --> 00:09:05.735
Corinthians, chapter 6, don't be unequally yoked
00:09:05.801 --> 00:09:07.169
Don't be unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
00:09:07.236 --> 00:09:09.038
Together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
00:09:09.105 --> 00:09:10.373
For what fellowship hath righteousness with
00:09:10.439 --> 00:09:11.340
Righteousness with unrighteousness, light with
00:09:11.407 --> 00:09:12.908
Unrighteousness, light with dark, and things like that. come
00:09:12.975 --> 00:09:14.810
Dark, and things like that. come out from among them, and be
00:09:14.877 --> 00:09:16.212
Out from among them, and be separate, and touch not the
00:09:16.278 --> 00:09:17.480
Separate, and touch not the unclean thing; and i'll receive
00:09:17.546 --> 00:09:19.148
Unclean thing; and i'll receive you. one of the most important
00:09:19.215 --> 00:09:20.850
Things that will ever happen in
00:09:20.916 --> 00:09:22.385
Things that will ever happen in your life is the companions,
00:09:22.451 --> 00:09:24.920
Your life is the companions, the company that you keep.
00:09:24.987 --> 00:09:27.123
And if you walk with wise
00:09:27.189 --> 00:09:28.724
And if you walk with wise men, you'll be wise, but
00:09:28.791 --> 00:09:30.259
Men, you'll be wise, but a companion of fools is
00:09:30.326 --> 00:09:32.228
A companion of fools is going to be destroyed. that's
00:09:32.294 --> 00:09:33.829
Going to be destroyed. that's what the scripture says.
00:09:33.896 --> 00:09:35.231
And so this is just saying that
00:09:35.297 --> 00:09:36.599
And so this is just saying that the word of god teaches us to
00:09:36.666 --> 00:09:39.301
The word of god teaches us to keep company with people that
00:09:39.368 --> 00:09:41.570
Keep company with people that are also honoring the word of
00:09:41.637 --> 00:09:43.439
Are also honoring the word of god. this doesn't mean that you
00:09:43.506 --> 00:09:45.241
God. this doesn't mean that you don't go ever outside of the
00:09:45.307 --> 00:09:46.809
Don't go ever outside of the church or ever outside of just
00:09:46.876 --> 00:09:48.444
Church or ever outside of just christian friends, but you go
00:09:48.511 --> 00:09:50.479
Christian friends, but you go outside to witness and to be
00:09:50.546 --> 00:09:52.181
Outside to witness and to be salt and light to them. you
00:09:52.248 --> 00:09:54.016
Salt and light to them. you don't just blend in and become
00:09:54.083 --> 00:09:56.118
Don't just blend in and become a part of this ungodly
00:09:56.185 --> 00:09:57.920
A part of this ungodly system. and i've mentioned
00:09:57.987 --> 00:09:59.955
System. and i've mentioned that many, many times.
00:10:00.022 --> 00:10:01.624
In verse 64, it says, the earth,
00:10:01.691 --> 00:10:04.026
In verse 64, it says, the earth, o lord, is full of thy mercy:
00:10:04.093 --> 00:10:06.762
O lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
00:10:06.829 --> 00:10:08.931
Man, there are so many
00:10:08.998 --> 00:10:09.799
Man, there are so many scriptures that go along
00:10:09.865 --> 00:10:10.800
Scriptures that go along with this, but some of the
00:10:10.866 --> 00:10:12.368
With this, but some of the dominant scriptures, or main
00:10:12.435 --> 00:10:13.903
Dominant scriptures, or main scriptures that i'm aware of,
00:10:13.969 --> 00:10:15.237
Are psalms, chapter 19, where
00:10:15.304 --> 00:10:17.440
Are psalms, chapter 19, where it says, the heavens declare
00:10:17.506 --> 00:10:18.908
It says, the heavens declare the glory of god; the
00:10:18.974 --> 00:10:19.942
The glory of god; the firmament shows his handy
00:10:20.009 --> 00:10:21.644
Firmament shows his handy work. day unto day utters
00:10:21.711 --> 00:10:23.412
Work. day unto day utters speech, and night unto night
00:10:23.479 --> 00:10:25.481
Speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. and there
00:10:25.548 --> 00:10:27.216
Sheweth knowledge. and there isn't any language on the earth
00:10:27.283 --> 00:10:28.951
Isn't any language on the earth that this witness of creation
00:10:29.018 --> 00:10:31.087
That this witness of creation hadn't gone out to. and so the
00:10:31.153 --> 00:10:33.189
Word of god is speaking to us
00:10:33.255 --> 00:10:34.857
Word of god is speaking to us through creation, is what
00:10:34.924 --> 00:10:36.826
Through creation, is what that's saying. you can see the
00:10:36.892 --> 00:10:39.095
That's saying. you can see the wisdom of god in creation
00:10:39.161 --> 00:10:40.796
Wisdom of god in creation everywhere that you look.
00:10:40.863 --> 00:10:42.665
In verse 65, it says, thou hast
00:10:42.732 --> 00:10:44.533
In verse 65, it says, thou hast dealt well with thy servant,
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.035
Dealt well with thy servant, o lord, according to thy word.
00:10:46.102 --> 00:10:49.505
And i tell you, god's word
00:10:49.572 --> 00:10:50.873
And i tell you, god's word has promised us so
00:10:50.940 --> 00:10:52.274
Has promised us so many great things.
00:10:52.341 --> 00:10:53.976
It says in 2 peter, chapter 1,
00:10:54.043 --> 00:10:56.412
It says in 2 peter, chapter 1, in verse 3, according as
00:10:56.479 --> 00:10:57.913
In verse 3, according as his divine power hath
00:10:57.980 --> 00:10:59.448
His divine power hath given unto us all things
00:10:59.515 --> 00:11:01.484
Given unto us all things that pertain unto life and
00:11:01.550 --> 00:11:03.352
That pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge
00:11:03.419 --> 00:11:05.521
Godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to
00:11:05.588 --> 00:11:06.889
Of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. and then verse
00:11:06.956 --> 00:11:08.157
Glory and virtue. and then verse 4 says, that that knowledge
00:11:08.224 --> 00:11:09.792
4 says, that that knowledge is what gave us these exceeding
00:11:09.859 --> 00:11:11.560
Is what gave us these exceeding great and precious promises. so
00:11:11.627 --> 00:11:13.496
That's what this is talking
00:11:13.562 --> 00:11:14.764
That's what this is talking about. god's word has promised
00:11:14.830 --> 00:11:17.199
About. god's word has promised to bless us. and if we would
00:11:17.266 --> 00:11:19.468
To bless us. and if we would just operate in the word,
00:11:19.535 --> 00:11:21.203
Romans, chapter 10, verse 17
00:11:21.270 --> 00:11:23.038
Romans, chapter 10, verse 17 says, so then faith comes
00:11:23.105 --> 00:11:24.306
Says, so then faith comes by hearing, hearing
00:11:24.373 --> 00:11:25.174
By hearing, hearing by the word of god.
00:11:25.241 --> 00:11:26.442
God has great plans for
00:11:26.509 --> 00:11:28.344
God has great plans for every single one of us, but the
00:11:28.410 --> 00:11:30.913
Every single one of us, but the faith, in order to receive those
00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:33.349
Faith, in order to receive those great things that god has for
00:11:33.415 --> 00:11:34.817
Great things that god has for you, comes through the word of
00:11:34.884 --> 00:11:36.619
You, comes through the word of god. so just like this verse is
00:11:36.685 --> 00:11:38.788
God. so just like this verse is saying, god's word has dealt
00:11:38.854 --> 00:11:41.390
Saying, god's word has dealt well with us, and has given us
00:11:41.457 --> 00:11:43.692
Well with us, and has given us all of these things, but we need
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.127
All of these things, but we need to be in the word of god so we
00:11:45.194 --> 00:11:46.629
To be in the word of god so we can have faith and receive it.
00:11:46.695 --> 00:11:49.365
Verse 66, teach me good judgment
00:11:49.431 --> 00:11:52.768
Verse 66, teach me good judgment and knowledge: for i have
00:11:52.835 --> 00:11:54.470
And knowledge: for i have believed thy commandments. and
00:11:54.537 --> 00:11:56.972
Again, the word of god will give
00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:58.874
Again, the word of god will give us good judgment and knowledge.
00:11:58.941 --> 00:12:02.378
Us good judgment and knowledge. if you aren't in the word of
00:12:02.444 --> 00:12:03.746
If you aren't in the word of god, then that means by default
00:12:03.813 --> 00:12:05.581
God, then that means by default you are using the wisdom of this
00:12:05.648 --> 00:12:07.383
You are using the wisdom of this world, which comes to nothing,
00:12:07.449 --> 00:12:09.518
World, which comes to nothing, and it's going to bring
00:12:09.585 --> 00:12:10.486
And it's going to bring death to you. you need
00:12:10.553 --> 00:12:12.354
Death to you. you need to be in the word of god.
00:12:12.421 --> 00:12:13.522
Verse 67, before i was afflicted
00:12:13.589 --> 00:12:16.292
Verse 67, before i was afflicted i went astray: but now i
00:12:16.358 --> 00:12:18.961
I went astray: but now i have kept thy word. and this
00:12:19.028 --> 00:12:21.330
Is just saying that keeping
00:12:21.397 --> 00:12:22.598
Is just saying that keeping god's word will cause you, or
00:12:22.665 --> 00:12:25.568
God's word will cause you, or keep you, from being afflicted.
00:12:25.634 --> 00:12:27.903
Keep you, from being afflicted. you know, there's some people
00:12:27.970 --> 00:12:28.871
You know, there's some people that teach that you can't really
00:12:28.938 --> 00:12:30.372
That teach that you can't really learn and mature without
00:12:30.439 --> 00:12:32.208
Learn and mature without having all of these problems,
00:12:32.274 --> 00:12:33.576
Having all of these problems, but that's not what the
00:12:33.642 --> 00:12:34.376
But that's not what the word of god teaches.
00:12:34.443 --> 00:12:35.845
2 timothy, chapter 3, verse
00:12:35.911 --> 00:12:37.313
2 timothy, chapter 3, verse 16 and 17 says, that from
00:12:37.379 --> 00:12:38.047
16 and 17 says, that from a child you have known the
00:12:38.113 --> 00:12:39.548
A child you have known the scriptures, which are able
00:12:39.615 --> 00:12:40.749
Scriptures, which are able to give you wisdom. and it says
00:12:40.816 --> 00:12:42.284
To give you wisdom. and it says that god's word is given for
00:12:42.351 --> 00:12:43.886
That god's word is given for doctrine, for reproof, for
00:12:43.953 --> 00:12:46.088
Doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
00:12:46.155 --> 00:12:48.524
Correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of
00:12:48.591 --> 00:12:49.992
Righteousness: that the man of god may be perfect, thoroughly
00:12:50.059 --> 00:12:51.861
God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good work.
00:12:51.927 --> 00:12:54.263
God's word is what will teach
00:12:54.330 --> 00:12:56.165
God's word is what will teach you. you do not have to learn
00:12:56.232 --> 00:12:58.400
You. you do not have to learn everything through hard knocks.
00:12:58.467 --> 00:13:01.036
In verse 68, it says, thou art
00:13:01.103 --> 00:13:03.072
In verse 68, it says, thou art good, and doest good; teach me
00:13:03.138 --> 00:13:05.708
Good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. in other words,
00:13:05.774 --> 00:13:08.010
This is the nature of god. god
00:13:08.077 --> 00:13:09.645
This is the nature of god. god is a good god. as it says over
00:13:09.712 --> 00:13:11.881
Is a good god. as it says over in 1 john, chapter 4, verses 8
00:13:11.947 --> 00:13:14.450
In 1 john, chapter 4, verses 8 and 16, god is love. and again,
00:13:14.516 --> 00:13:17.653
And 16, god is love. and again, there's religion today teaching,
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.321
There's religion today teaching, no, god is the one who's angry,
00:13:19.388 --> 00:13:21.490
No, god is the one who's angry, he's going to punish you. god's
00:13:21.557 --> 00:13:23.025
He's going to punish you. god's the one who's caused your
00:13:23.092 --> 00:13:24.059
The one who's caused your children to be born with
00:13:24.126 --> 00:13:25.895
Children to be born with deformities and problems, god's
00:13:25.961 --> 00:13:27.796
Deformities and problems, god's the one that put sickness on
00:13:27.863 --> 00:13:29.465
The one that put sickness on you, and things like that.
00:13:29.531 --> 00:13:31.166
You, and things like that. that's not true. that's not
00:13:31.233 --> 00:13:32.568
That's not true. that's not what the word of god teaches.
00:13:32.635 --> 00:13:34.670
And so this is saying that
00:13:34.737 --> 00:13:35.838
And so this is saying that god is good, and teach me
00:13:35.905 --> 00:13:38.107
God is good, and teach me your statutes. god's word,
00:13:38.173 --> 00:13:39.775
His stat... statutes will
00:13:39.842 --> 00:13:42.311
His stat... statutes will show you that he is a good
00:13:42.378 --> 00:13:44.046
Show you that he is a good god. man, we need to
00:13:44.113 --> 00:13:45.948
God. man, we need to be in the word of god.
00:13:46.015 --> 00:13:47.416
Verse 69, the proud have
00:13:47.483 --> 00:13:49.351
Verse 69, the proud have forged a lie against me:
00:13:49.418 --> 00:13:51.387
Forged a lie against me: but i will keep thy precepts
00:13:51.453 --> 00:13:53.522
But i will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. again, this
00:13:53.589 --> 00:13:55.991
Is just saying that we live in a
00:13:56.058 --> 00:13:57.526
Is just saying that we live in a fallen world. there is going to
00:13:57.593 --> 00:13:59.295
Fallen world. there is going to be opposition. if you never run
00:13:59.361 --> 00:14:01.664
Be opposition. if you never run into the devil, it's because
00:14:01.730 --> 00:14:02.798
Into the devil, it's because you're both headed in the same
00:14:02.865 --> 00:14:04.166
You're both headed in the same direction. if you start living a
00:14:04.233 --> 00:14:06.101
Direction. if you start living a godly life, i guarantee there's
00:14:06.168 --> 00:14:08.237
Godly life, i guarantee there's going to be persecution. how do
00:14:08.304 --> 00:14:09.905
Going to be persecution. how do you keep on track? the word of
00:14:09.972 --> 00:14:12.207
You keep on track? the word of god is what will hold you
00:14:12.274 --> 00:14:14.043
God is what will hold you steady. you know, i just had
00:14:14.109 --> 00:14:16.011
Steady. you know, i just had somebody this week that i had
00:14:16.078 --> 00:14:17.379
Somebody this week that i had lunch with, and they were asking
00:14:17.446 --> 00:14:19.315
Lunch with, and they were asking me a question about how have you
00:14:19.381 --> 00:14:20.916
Me a question about how have you been able to stand for 57 years
00:14:20.983 --> 00:14:25.187
Been able to stand for 57 years without getting off base and
00:14:25.254 --> 00:14:27.389
Without getting off base and crashing and burning and doing
00:14:27.456 --> 00:14:28.924
Crashing and burning and doing these things? and it's because
00:14:28.991 --> 00:14:30.392
These things? and it's because of the word of god. i've had a
00:14:30.459 --> 00:14:32.027
Of the word of god. i've had a lot of opposition. i've had a
00:14:32.094 --> 00:14:33.262
Lot of opposition. i've had a lot of criticism. i've had many
00:14:33.329 --> 00:14:35.564
Lot of criticism. i've had many opportunities to fail, and yet
00:14:35.631 --> 00:14:37.833
Opportunities to fail, and yet the word of god is what has
00:14:37.900 --> 00:14:40.135
The word of god is what has changed my life. and that's what
00:14:40.202 --> 00:14:42.137
Changed my life. and that's what these verses are talking about.
00:14:42.204 --> 00:14:44.006
In verse 70, it says, their
00:14:44.073 --> 00:14:45.441
In verse 70, it says, their heart is as fat as grease; but i
00:14:45.507 --> 00:14:48.911
Heart is as fat as grease; but i delight in thy law. you know, i
00:14:48.978 --> 00:14:50.913
Delight in thy law. you know, i love the word of god. and if you
00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:53.382
Go back just a few verses, he,
00:14:53.449 --> 00:14:55.851
Go back just a few verses, he, he was talking about the proud.
00:14:55.918 --> 00:14:57.319
He was talking about the proud. and you know, grease, you could
00:14:57.386 --> 00:14:59.321
And you know, grease, you could put lard or something like that
00:14:59.388 --> 00:15:01.056
Put lard or something like that in a hot pan, and i mean, just
00:15:01.123 --> 00:15:02.658
In a hot pan, and i mean, just nearly instantly it's just melts
00:15:02.725 --> 00:15:04.893
Nearly instantly it's just melts and it's gone. and this is
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:06.628
And it's gone. and this is talking about the vanity of
00:15:06.695 --> 00:15:08.664
Talking about the vanity of people that operate in pride.
00:15:08.731 --> 00:15:10.299
People that operate in pride. they don't last. but those who
00:15:10.366 --> 00:15:12.134
They don't last. but those who delight in the law of the lord,
00:15:12.201 --> 00:15:14.236
Delight in the law of the lord, they are just going to continue
00:15:14.303 --> 00:15:15.571
They are just going to continue to prosper. you know, i've seen
00:15:15.637 --> 00:15:17.873
To prosper. you know, i've seen many, many people come along
00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:19.775
Many, many people come along that had a lot more charisma
00:15:19.842 --> 00:15:21.243
That had a lot more charisma than i did, a lot more wisdom in
00:15:21.310 --> 00:15:23.879
Than i did, a lot more wisdom in the natural, a lot more going
00:15:23.946 --> 00:15:25.514
The natural, a lot more going for them in the natural. and yet
00:15:25.581 --> 00:15:27.383
For them in the natural. and yet they're... they've come and
00:15:27.449 --> 00:15:28.450
They're... they've come and gone. and here i am still, after
00:15:28.517 --> 00:15:31.320
Gone. and here i am still, after 57 years, still loving my wife
00:15:31.387 --> 00:15:34.356
57 years, still loving my wife and loving god and still doing
00:15:34.423 --> 00:15:36.525
And loving god and still doing what god called me to do. the
00:15:36.592 --> 00:15:38.060
What god called me to do. the others just passed away like
00:15:38.127 --> 00:15:39.828
Others just passed away like grease, when you put it in a hot
00:15:39.895 --> 00:15:41.463
Grease, when you put it in a hot pan, it's gone. but man, those
00:15:41.530 --> 00:15:44.099
Pan, it's gone. but man, those who love god and love the word
00:15:44.166 --> 00:15:45.667
Who love god and love the word of god will be able to endure.
00:15:45.734 --> 00:15:48.137
In verse 71, it is good for me
00:15:48.203 --> 00:15:50.839
In verse 71, it is good for me that i have been afflicted; that
00:15:50.906 --> 00:15:53.008
That i have been afflicted; that i might learn thy statutes. and
00:15:53.075 --> 00:15:55.544
Again, this can be
00:15:55.611 --> 00:15:56.912
Again, this can be misunderstood. people take the
00:15:56.979 --> 00:15:58.881
Misunderstood. people take the same thought process that's in
00:15:58.947 --> 00:16:01.717
Same thought process that's in james, chapter 1 and in romans,
00:16:01.784 --> 00:16:04.186
James, chapter 1 and in romans, chapter 5, and teach that god is
00:16:04.253 --> 00:16:06.622
Chapter 5, and teach that god is the source of our problems, and
00:16:06.688 --> 00:16:08.857
The source of our problems, and he's the one that makes us
00:16:08.924 --> 00:16:10.759
He's the one that makes us have problems so that we
00:16:10.826 --> 00:16:12.027
Have problems so that we can learn through them.
00:16:12.094 --> 00:16:13.228
Those verses that i just
00:16:13.295 --> 00:16:14.430
Those verses that i just quoted in 2 timothy,
00:16:14.496 --> 00:16:16.632
Quoted in 2 timothy, chapter 3, verses 16 and 17,
00:16:16.698 --> 00:16:18.801
Chapter 3, verses 16 and 17, says that the word of god is for
00:16:18.867 --> 00:16:20.502
Says that the word of god is for doctrine, for reproof, for
00:16:20.569 --> 00:16:22.104
Doctrine, for reproof, for correction, that you might be
00:16:22.171 --> 00:16:24.073
Correction, that you might be perfect. that word perfect there
00:16:24.139 --> 00:16:25.641
Perfect. that word perfect there means complete. you don't have
00:16:25.707 --> 00:16:27.709
To have problems teach you
00:16:27.776 --> 00:16:29.144
To have problems teach you everything. you don't have to
00:16:29.211 --> 00:16:30.679
Everything. you don't have to learn through hard knocks. now
00:16:30.746 --> 00:16:32.648
Learn through hard knocks. now you can learn through hard
00:16:32.714 --> 00:16:34.083
You can learn through hard knocks. i'm not saying that you
00:16:34.149 --> 00:16:35.551
Knocks. i'm not saying that you can't learn something. you know,
00:16:35.617 --> 00:16:37.286
Can't learn something. you know, if you'll go butt your head
00:16:37.352 --> 00:16:38.487
If you'll go butt your head against a wall, it's going to
00:16:38.554 --> 00:16:40.489
Against a wall, it's going to hurt and you're going to learn,
00:16:40.556 --> 00:16:41.223
Hurt and you're going to learn, i don't want to do that again.
00:16:41.290 --> 00:16:42.357
I don't want to do that again. but i could tell you that. you
00:16:42.424 --> 00:16:43.759
But i could tell you that. you wouldn't have to experience it
00:16:43.826 --> 00:16:45.294
Wouldn't have to experience it for... you don't have to learn
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:46.862
For... you don't have to learn everything through hard knocks.
00:16:46.929 --> 00:16:48.931
You know, the scripture says in
00:16:48.997 --> 00:16:49.998
You know, the scripture says in that all of these things
00:16:50.065 --> 00:16:51.033
That all of these things that happened in the old
00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:52.067
That happened in the old testament were happened for our
00:16:52.134 --> 00:16:54.169
Testament were happened for our example, so that we, through
00:16:54.236 --> 00:16:56.038
Them, might learn not to lust
00:16:56.105 --> 00:16:58.640
Them, might learn not to lust and not to murmur, and not to do
00:16:58.707 --> 00:17:00.642
And not to murmur, and not to do these things. you know, i am
00:17:00.709 --> 00:17:02.544
These things. you know, i am now, by the time you see this,
00:17:02.611 --> 00:17:05.280
Now, by the time you see this, i'll be 76 years old. i've never
00:17:05.347 --> 00:17:07.716
I'll be 76 years old. i've never committed adultery, i've never
00:17:07.783 --> 00:17:09.118
Committed adultery, i've never gone out and stolen, and i've
00:17:09.184 --> 00:17:10.986
Gone out and stolen, and i've never done these things. i
00:17:11.053 --> 00:17:12.488
Never done these things. i didn't have to experience that
00:17:12.554 --> 00:17:14.389
Didn't have to experience that to learn that it was wrong. i
00:17:14.456 --> 00:17:16.158
To learn that it was wrong. i went through the word of god,
00:17:16.225 --> 00:17:17.960
Went through the word of god, and i saw in david's life what
00:17:18.026 --> 00:17:20.028
And i saw in david's life what adultery did to him, the grief
00:17:20.095 --> 00:17:22.598
Adultery did to him, the grief that it brought to him and to
00:17:22.664 --> 00:17:24.366
That it brought to him and to his family. and i've seen other
00:17:24.433 --> 00:17:26.768
His family. and i've seen other people, and i have learned
00:17:26.835 --> 00:17:27.836
People, and i have learned through them. i did not have to
00:17:27.903 --> 00:17:29.371
Through them. i did not have to learn everything through my own
00:17:29.438 --> 00:17:30.906
Learn everything through my own hard knocks. so yes, it is true
00:17:30.973 --> 00:17:33.575
Hard knocks. so yes, it is true that you can learn through
00:17:33.642 --> 00:17:34.843
That you can learn through problems. and if you've been
00:17:34.910 --> 00:17:35.944
Problems. and if you've been through a lot of problems, you
00:17:36.011 --> 00:17:37.179
Through a lot of problems, you ought at least learn something.
00:17:37.246 --> 00:17:38.881
Ought at least learn something. you a... you shouldn't make
00:17:38.947 --> 00:17:40.015
You a... you shouldn't make them so that there's
00:17:40.082 --> 00:17:40.682
No value to them at all.
00:17:40.749 --> 00:17:42.951
No value to them at all. but the word of god will
00:17:43.018 --> 00:17:44.052
But the word of god will make you perfect, thoroughly
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:45.454
Make you perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
00:17:45.521 --> 00:17:47.222
Furnished unto all good works. you don't have to learn
00:17:47.289 --> 00:17:48.157
You don't have to learn everything through hard knocks.
00:17:48.223 --> 00:17:50.092
Everything through hard knocks. in verse 72, it says, the law of
00:17:50.159 --> 00:17:52.261
In verse 72, it says, the law of thy mouth is better unto
00:17:52.327 --> 00:17:54.429
Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold
00:17:54.496 --> 00:17:57.199
Me than thousands of gold and silver. again, what a
00:17:57.266 --> 00:17:59.401
Tremendous comparison. did you
00:17:59.468 --> 00:18:03.038
Tremendous comparison. did you know there are most people that
00:18:03.105 --> 00:18:04.540
Know there are most people that spend much, much, much more time
00:18:04.606 --> 00:18:06.842
Spend much, much, much more time trying to make a living and
00:18:06.909 --> 00:18:08.443
Trying to make a living and focused on finances and all of
00:18:08.510 --> 00:18:10.312
Focused on finances and all of the things that they need, than
00:18:10.379 --> 00:18:11.880
The things that they need, than they are on the word of god. and
00:18:11.947 --> 00:18:14.149
They are on the word of god. and because of it, they don't have
00:18:14.216 --> 00:18:16.084
Because of it, they don't have the word of god working in their
00:18:16.151 --> 00:18:17.352
The word of god working in their life. we need to get to where we
00:18:17.419 --> 00:18:19.087
Life. we need to get to where we put more emphasis, more effort
00:18:19.154 --> 00:18:21.190
Put more emphasis, more effort into getting the word of god,
00:18:21.256 --> 00:18:22.891
Into getting the word of god, the truth of god's word in our
00:18:22.958 --> 00:18:25.127
The truth of god's word in our heart than we do getting
00:18:25.194 --> 00:18:26.795
Heart than we do getting money in our bank account.
00:18:26.862 --> 00:18:29.464
Money in our bank account. boy, that is a powerful,
00:18:29.531 --> 00:18:30.566
Boy, that is a powerful, powerful statement.
00:18:30.632 --> 00:18:31.934
In verse 73, it says, thy
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:33.735
In verse 73, it says, thy hands have made me and
00:18:33.802 --> 00:18:35.571
Hands have made me and fashioned me: give me
00:18:35.637 --> 00:18:36.905
Fashioned me: give me understanding, that i may learn
00:18:36.972 --> 00:18:39.508
Understanding, that i may learn thy commandments. and this is
00:18:39.575 --> 00:18:41.510
Just so simple. it's saying, if
00:18:41.577 --> 00:18:43.045
Just so simple. it's saying, if god made us, then god can
00:18:43.111 --> 00:18:45.180
God made us, then god can certainly reveal his word unto
00:18:45.247 --> 00:18:47.583
Certainly reveal his word unto us and show us things. you know,
00:18:47.649 --> 00:18:49.751
Us and show us things. you know, i remember going to san juan
00:18:49.818 --> 00:18:51.420
I remember going to san juan capistrano in california on the
00:18:51.486 --> 00:18:54.389
Capistrano in california on the exact day that the swallows come
00:18:54.456 --> 00:18:57.292
Exact day that the swallows come back to that abbey there, or
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:00.395
Back to that abbey there, or that mission there. and they go
00:19:00.462 --> 00:19:03.198
That mission there. and they go out into the pacific. they fly
00:19:03.265 --> 00:19:05.000
Out into the pacific. they fly thousands of miles, and yet
00:19:05.067 --> 00:19:06.635
Thousands of miles, and yet these little bird brains come
00:19:06.702 --> 00:19:08.403
These little bird brains come back on the exact same day, have
00:19:08.470 --> 00:19:11.173
Back on the exact same day, have perfect, you know, guidance to
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.010
Perfect, you know, guidance to get back. you know, you see
00:19:15.077 --> 00:19:17.813
Get back. you know, you see salmon that spawn, and they go
00:19:17.879 --> 00:19:19.548
Salmon that spawn, and they go up these rivers, they go out
00:19:19.615 --> 00:19:20.983
Up these rivers, they go out into the ocean, and then they
00:19:21.049 --> 00:19:22.317
Into the ocean, and then they come back and go back to the
00:19:22.384 --> 00:19:23.552
Come back and go back to the same place. if god can put that
00:19:23.619 --> 00:19:25.887
Same place. if god can put that kind of homing device into an
00:19:25.954 --> 00:19:29.157
Kind of homing device into an animal, then certainly he has
00:19:29.224 --> 00:19:32.761
Animal, then certainly he has given us the ability to know
00:19:32.828 --> 00:19:34.763
Given us the ability to know him. that is just so simple you
00:19:34.830 --> 00:19:37.799
Him. that is just so simple you have to have somebody to help
00:19:37.866 --> 00:19:38.900
Have to have somebody to help you to misunderstand that. and
00:19:38.967 --> 00:19:40.569
You to misunderstand that. and yet the problem is, most of us
00:19:40.636 --> 00:19:42.237
Yet the problem is, most of us have forsaken the instruction
00:19:42.304 --> 00:19:43.839
Have forsaken the instruction that's in the word of god and we
00:19:43.905 --> 00:19:45.674
That's in the word of god and we just go by the way that this
00:19:45.741 --> 00:19:46.942
Just go by the way that this world thinks. we've all been
00:19:47.009 --> 00:19:48.877
World thinks. we've all been programmed to believe ungodly
00:19:48.944 --> 00:19:50.879
Programmed to believe ungodly type of things. the word of god
00:19:50.946 --> 00:19:52.948
Type of things. the word of god will reprogram you, and it will
00:19:53.015 --> 00:19:56.318
Will reprogram you, and it will teach you how to operate in
00:19:56.385 --> 00:19:58.887
Teach you how to operate in the word of god properly.
00:19:58.954 --> 00:20:01.056
In verse 74, it says, they that
00:20:01.123 --> 00:20:02.958
In verse 74, it says, they that fear thee will be glad when they
00:20:03.025 --> 00:20:04.793
Fear thee will be glad when they see me; because i have hoped in
00:20:04.860 --> 00:20:07.229
See me; because i have hoped in thy word. and this is just
00:20:07.296 --> 00:20:09.197
Saying that people who love the
00:20:09.264 --> 00:20:10.832
Saying that people who love the word of god love other people
00:20:10.899 --> 00:20:13.835
Word of god love other people who love the word of god. and
00:20:13.902 --> 00:20:15.837
Who love the word of god. and it's just a common bond that we
00:20:15.904 --> 00:20:17.406
It's just a common bond that we have. you know, here in our
00:20:17.472 --> 00:20:18.774
Have. you know, here in our bible college, we see this all
00:20:18.840 --> 00:20:20.409
Bible college, we see this all of the time, that people come to
00:20:20.475 --> 00:20:21.877
Of the time, that people come to school and they come and they
00:20:21.943 --> 00:20:24.746
School and they come and they are with thousands of other
00:20:24.813 --> 00:20:26.381
Are with thousands of other people who have the same
00:20:26.448 --> 00:20:28.216
People who have the same desires. they have left
00:20:28.283 --> 00:20:29.618
Desires. they have left everything to come and to study
00:20:29.685 --> 00:20:31.420
Everything to come and to study the word of god. and we just see
00:20:31.486 --> 00:20:33.355
The word of god. and we just see people bond. some of them make
00:20:33.422 --> 00:20:35.290
People bond. some of them make relationships that last an
00:20:35.357 --> 00:20:37.059
Relationships that last an entire lifetime. and so this is
00:20:37.125 --> 00:20:39.695
Entire lifetime. and so this is saying, that when you love the
00:20:39.761 --> 00:20:40.996
Saying, that when you love the word of god, you'll love other
00:20:41.063 --> 00:20:42.597
Word of god, you'll love other people who love the word of god.
00:20:42.664 --> 00:20:44.599
In verse 75, i know, o lord,
00:20:44.666 --> 00:20:46.668
In verse 75, i know, o lord, that thy judgments are right,
00:20:46.735 --> 00:20:48.704
That thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness
00:20:48.770 --> 00:20:50.706

Light of the new testament, because in the new testament god

Because in the new testament god didn't afflict us. he afflicted
00:20:57.512 --> 00:20:59.614
Didn't afflict us. he afflicted jesus for us, and we receive
00:20:59.681 --> 00:21:01.516
Jesus for us, and we receive everything we get through faith
00:21:01.583 --> 00:21:03.452
Everything we get through faith in what jesus did. but it's

Everything that the world says
00:23:44.946 --> 00:23:47.082
Will make you happy. and yet he
00:23:47.082 --> 00:23:49.284
Hated himself. to numb this self
00:23:49.284 --> 00:23:52.654
Rejection, johann buried himself
00:23:52.654 --> 00:23:54.890
In cocaine and one day found
00:23:54.890 --> 00:23:57.158
Himself in a portugal prison
00:23:57.158 --> 00:23:58.927
Where at the lowest point in his
00:23:58.927 --> 00:24:00.829
Life, god reached out to him.
00:24:00.829 --> 00:24:03.465
>> one night i was sitting on my
00:24:03.465 --> 00:24:06.167
Bed and suddenly out of nothing,
00:24:06.167 --> 00:24:08.904
An image came where i hurt my
00:24:08.904 --> 00:24:11.840
Mom, and the pain on the face of
00:24:11.840 --> 00:24:15.443
My mom shocked me. and now i saw
00:24:15.443 --> 00:24:18.647
It and i felt it. and then
00:24:18.647 --> 00:24:21.816
Another image came into my mind
00:24:21.816 --> 00:24:23.952
And another image came into my
00:24:23.952 --> 00:24:24.920
Mind. and of all the people that
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:26.621
I hurt that was like a thousand
00:24:26.621 --> 00:24:28.990
Kilos was pushing me down. i
00:24:28.990 --> 00:24:30.992
Couldn't get up from the floor,
00:24:30.992 --> 00:24:32.994
And then suddenly my cell was
00:24:32.994 --> 00:24:34.529
Filled with a light that was so
00:24:34.529 --> 00:24:37.599
Bright it looked like the sun
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:39.134
Was shining in my cell. i was
00:24:39.134 --> 00:24:41.069
Screaming, forgive me, god,
00:24:41.069 --> 00:24:43.939
Forgive me. please forgive me.
00:24:43.939 --> 00:24:45.307
Forgive me, father, forgive me.
00:24:45.307 --> 00:24:46.641
I don't know why i become that
00:24:46.641 --> 00:24:49.177
Person. i don't want that
00:24:49.177 --> 00:24:50.111
Person. i don't want to be that
00:24:50.111 --> 00:24:51.212
Person anymore. please forgive
00:24:51.212 --> 00:24:52.647
Me, forgive me, forgive me. but
00:24:52.647 --> 00:24:53.882
He just hushed me. he just
00:24:53.882 --> 00:24:56.151
Hushed me. he says, you are
00:24:56.151 --> 00:24:57.852
Already forgiven. and i just had
00:24:57.852 --> 00:25:00.722
An ocean of love overflowing me.
00:25:00.722 --> 00:25:03.625
I mean, a tsunami of love and
00:25:03.625 --> 00:25:06.995
Grace overflowing me, and i was
00:25:06.995 --> 00:25:08.863
Washed from the inside out
00:25:08.863 --> 00:25:10.999
And from the outside in.
00:25:10.999 --> 00:25:12.801
>> after serving 10 years
00:25:16.371 --> 00:25:17.639
In prison, johann was
00:25:17.639 --> 00:25:19.341
Released back to his wife
00:25:19.341 --> 00:25:20.842
Brenda in holland, and while
00:25:20.842 --> 00:25:22.510
Searching to know more
00:25:22.510 --> 00:25:23.912
About the god he met in
00:25:23.912 --> 00:25:25.113
Captivity, the holy spirit
00:25:25.113 --> 00:25:26.748
Led him to bible teacher,

00:25:28.350 --> 00:25:29.684

00:25:29.684 --> 00:25:32.287
Back into the same freedom
00:25:32.287 --> 00:25:34.255
