Put the overcoat of love over everything

Of love over everything that has happened,
00:02:33.967 --> 00:02:35.868
That has happened, and you'll find your way out.
00:02:35.935 --> 00:02:37.904
And you'll find your way out. because trouble is inevitable,
00:02:37.971 --> 00:02:40.840
Because trouble is inevitable, but misery is optional.
00:02:40.907 --> 00:02:43.977
But misery is optional. and you have to decide
00:02:44.043 --> 00:02:45.578
And you have to decide because trouble's gon'
00:02:45.645 --> 00:02:46.546
Because trouble's gon' come to every relationship
00:02:46.613 --> 00:02:48.147
Come to every relationship and trouble is gon' come

And trouble is gon' come to every family.
00:02:49.115 --> 00:02:50.650
To every family. and i'm preaching on
00:02:50.717 --> 00:02:52.085
And i'm preaching on that much of the trouble
00:02:52.151 --> 00:02:54.387
That much of the trouble because that's really in
00:02:54.454 --> 00:02:55.088
Because that's really in the big picture of things.
00:02:55.154 --> 00:02:56.956
The big picture of things. the joy that family gives,
00:02:57.023 --> 00:02:58.358
The joy that family gives, the blessing that marriage is,
00:02:58.424 --> 00:03:00.460
The blessing that marriage is, all of that is so much bigger
00:03:00.526 --> 00:03:02.328
All of that is so much bigger and so much greater.
00:03:02.395 --> 00:03:04.464
And so much greater. and what you have to decide
00:03:04.530 --> 00:03:05.999
And what you have to decide is trouble is inevitable,
00:03:06.065 --> 00:03:08.801
Is trouble is inevitable, but misery is optional.
00:03:08.868 --> 00:03:10.470
But misery is optional. and hurt is a reality,
00:03:10.536 --> 00:03:11.804
And hurt is a reality, but bitterness is a reaction.
00:03:11.871 --> 00:03:13.840
But bitterness is a reaction. [applause]
00:03:13.906 --> 00:03:15.541
[applause] jesus, when he hung
00:03:15.608 --> 00:03:16.876
Jesus, when he hung on the cross said,
00:03:16.943 --> 00:03:18.244
On the cross said, "father, forgive them."
00:03:18.311 --> 00:03:20.847
"father, forgive them." and he got over it.
00:03:20.913 --> 00:03:21.881
And he got over it. he put on the overcoat of love,
00:03:21.948 --> 00:03:24.751
He put on the overcoat of love, and he said, "i'm going
00:03:24.817 --> 00:03:25.752
And he said, "i'm going to forgive them."
00:03:25.818 --> 00:03:27.820
To forgive them." judas the betrayer came
00:03:27.887 --> 00:03:29.389
Judas the betrayer came in the garden of gethsemane
00:03:29.455 --> 00:03:31.524
In the garden of gethsemane to turn him over
00:03:31.591 --> 00:03:32.191
To turn him over to the torturers
00:03:32.258 --> 00:03:34.027
To the torturers and a torturous death.
00:03:34.093 --> 00:03:37.163
And a torturous death. and jesus said something
00:03:37.230 --> 00:03:38.398
And jesus said something strange when he came to him
00:03:38.464 --> 00:03:40.533
Strange when he came to him and judas betrayed him
00:03:40.600 --> 00:03:41.934
And judas betrayed him with a kiss,
00:03:42.001 --> 00:03:42.635
With a kiss, and it was a secret code
00:03:42.702 --> 00:03:44.203
And it was a secret code to the roman soldiers
00:03:44.270 --> 00:03:45.772
To the roman soldiers pointing out,
00:03:45.838 --> 00:03:47.006
Pointing out, "he's the one.
00:03:47.073 --> 00:03:47.640
"he's the one. the one that i kiss
00:03:47.707 --> 00:03:48.975
The one that i kiss is the one that you need
00:03:49.042 --> 00:03:50.209
Is the one that you need to arrest and crucify."
00:03:50.276 --> 00:03:52.945
To arrest and crucify." and jesus knew it.
00:03:53.012 --> 00:03:53.946
And jesus knew it. he knew it when
00:03:54.013 --> 00:03:54.614
He knew it when he washed his feet
00:03:54.681 --> 00:03:56.349
He washed his feet in the upper room the night
00:03:56.416 --> 00:03:57.550
In the upper room the night before that he would betray him.
00:03:57.617 --> 00:03:59.452
Before that he would betray him. he knew it when he was in
00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:00.920
He knew it when he was in the garden praying and he
00:04:00.987 --> 00:04:02.355
The garden praying and he heard him and saw him coming.
00:04:02.422 --> 00:04:04.023
Heard him and saw him coming. and jesus stood and when he came
00:04:04.090 --> 00:04:06.426
And jesus stood and when he came and kissed him on the cheek.
00:04:06.492 --> 00:04:07.627
And kissed him on the cheek. jesus, the bible said,
00:04:07.694 --> 00:04:08.895
Jesus, the bible said, kissed him and said, "friend."
00:04:08.961 --> 00:04:12.398
Kissed him and said, "friend." jesus called him friend.
00:04:12.465 --> 00:04:14.300
Jesus called him friend. sometimes when things happen
00:04:14.367 --> 00:04:17.503
Sometimes when things happen that hurt you, you just have
00:04:17.570 --> 00:04:19.238
That hurt you, you just have to kiss it and call it friend.
00:04:19.305 --> 00:04:22.008
To kiss it and call it friend. because you have to understand
00:04:22.075 --> 00:04:23.776
Because you have to understand if it gets you closer to
00:04:23.843 --> 00:04:25.611
If it gets you closer to the ultimate fulfillment
00:04:25.678 --> 00:04:27.413
The ultimate fulfillment of the purpose of god
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:29.182
Of the purpose of god for your life,
00:04:29.248 --> 00:04:29.949
For your life, judas was the key to jesus
00:04:30.016 --> 00:04:32.418
Judas was the key to jesus ending up on the cross,
00:04:32.485 --> 00:04:34.654
Ending up on the cross, and he kissed it
00:04:34.721 --> 00:04:36.089
And he kissed it and called it friend.
00:04:36.155 --> 00:04:37.423
And called it friend. sometimes painful, hurtful,
00:04:37.490 --> 00:04:39.492
Sometimes painful, hurtful, ugly things come into our life.
00:04:39.559 --> 00:04:41.961
Ugly things come into our life. just like joseph,
00:04:42.028 --> 00:04:42.995
Just like joseph, he said to his brothers
00:04:43.062 --> 00:04:44.931
He said to his brothers who had hurt him,
00:04:44.997 --> 00:04:46.332
Who had hurt him, his own family
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:47.133
His own family so much he said,
00:04:47.200 --> 00:04:48.968
So much he said, "i'mma put on the coat of love.
00:04:49.035 --> 00:04:50.837
"i'mma put on the coat of love. you strip my coat off,
00:04:50.903 --> 00:04:52.205
You strip my coat off, that coat of many colors.
00:04:52.271 --> 00:04:53.473
That coat of many colors. but i choose to put the coat --
00:04:53.539 --> 00:04:55.975
But i choose to put the coat -- overcoat of love on.
00:04:56.042 --> 00:04:57.877
Overcoat of love on. and you meant it for my evil,
00:04:57.944 --> 00:05:00.246
And you meant it for my evil, but i'mma kiss you
00:05:00.313 --> 00:05:01.047
But i'mma kiss you and call you friend."
00:05:01.114 --> 00:05:02.315
And call you friend." and he kissed them
00:05:02.382 --> 00:05:03.082
And he kissed them and wept over 'em.
00:05:03.149 --> 00:05:05.284
And wept over 'em. ephesians 4 put it this way,
00:05:05.351 --> 00:05:07.453
Ephesians 4 put it this way, "be angry and sin not."
00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:11.157
"be angry and sin not." it's okay to get
00:05:11.224 --> 00:05:12.058
It's okay to get angry but he said,
00:05:12.125 --> 00:05:13.126
Angry but he said, "don't let that anger
00:05:13.192 --> 00:05:14.494
"don't let that anger get in your spirit.
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.362
Get in your spirit. don't let that anger
00:05:16.429 --> 00:05:17.330
Don't let that anger turn you into somebody
00:05:17.397 --> 00:05:19.098
Turn you into somebody that destroys every
00:05:19.165 --> 00:05:20.600
That destroys every relationship because
00:05:20.666 --> 00:05:21.834
Relationship because you couldn't get over
00:05:21.901 --> 00:05:23.336
You couldn't get over what somebody did to you,
00:05:23.403 --> 00:05:25.071
What somebody did to you, and it bleeds over into
00:05:25.138 --> 00:05:26.472
And it bleeds over into every other relationship.
00:05:26.539 --> 00:05:28.307
Every other relationship. he said, "be angry and sin not,"
00:05:28.374 --> 00:05:30.109
He said, "be angry and sin not," and then he tells you
00:05:30.176 --> 00:05:30.843
And then he tells you how to do it.
00:05:30.910 --> 00:05:32.311
How to do it. he says, "here's how
00:05:32.378 --> 00:05:32.945
He says, "here's how you do that.
00:05:33.012 --> 00:05:34.147
You do that. let not the sun go down
00:05:34.213 --> 00:05:37.016
Let not the sun go down on your wrath lest you
00:05:37.083 --> 00:05:39.419
On your wrath lest you give place to the devil."
00:05:39.485 --> 00:05:43.656
Give place to the devil." that word place there
00:05:43.723 --> 00:05:45.558
That word place there is foothold in the greek.
00:05:45.625 --> 00:05:48.761
Is foothold in the greek. that literally,
00:05:48.828 --> 00:05:50.062
That literally, when you get angry
00:05:50.129 --> 00:05:52.064
When you get angry and you don't deal
00:05:52.131 --> 00:05:53.032
And you don't deal with it quickly,
00:05:53.099 --> 00:05:54.300
With it quickly, but you let it just
00:05:54.367 --> 00:05:55.067
But you let it just get into your spirit
00:05:55.134 --> 00:05:57.136
Get into your spirit and anger becomes part of
00:05:57.203 --> 00:05:59.338
And anger becomes part of how you feel all the time,
00:05:59.405 --> 00:06:01.641
How you feel all the time, it's part of -- oh you
00:06:01.707 --> 00:06:03.342
It's part of -- oh you can't stand that person.
00:06:03.409 --> 00:06:05.244
Can't stand that person. what happens is the bible
00:06:05.311 --> 00:06:07.814
What happens is the bible said it's dangerous because
00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:09.916
Said it's dangerous because it gives place to the devil.
00:06:09.982 --> 00:06:12.218
It gives place to the devil. and the word place
00:06:12.285 --> 00:06:12.952
And the word place is foothold that literally,
00:06:13.019 --> 00:06:14.954
Is foothold that literally, you have just opened the door
00:06:15.021 --> 00:06:17.223
You have just opened the door by not allowing that
00:06:17.290 --> 00:06:20.226
By not allowing that to come out of you
00:06:20.293 --> 00:06:21.761
To come out of you and the devil puts
00:06:21.828 --> 00:06:22.762
And the devil puts his foot in the door.
00:06:22.829 --> 00:06:25.731
His foot in the door. and he says to every demon,
00:06:25.798 --> 00:06:28.301
And he says to every demon, "go in and tear this house
00:06:28.367 --> 00:06:30.503
"go in and tear this house all to pieces because
00:06:30.570 --> 00:06:32.405
All to pieces because they will not forgive
00:06:32.472 --> 00:06:34.006
They will not forgive one another we have
00:06:34.073 --> 00:06:35.608
One another we have our foot in the door,
00:06:35.675 --> 00:06:37.243
Our foot in the door, come on in and do your work."
00:06:37.310 --> 00:06:41.447
Come on in and do your work." i never will forget
00:06:41.514 --> 00:06:42.348
I never will forget brother tenny telling me
00:06:42.415 --> 00:06:44.016
Brother tenny telling me one time when we were
00:06:44.083 --> 00:06:45.618
One time when we were talking about a missionary
00:06:45.685 --> 00:06:47.854
Talking about a missionary and his movement,
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:48.821
And his movement, and his denomination,
00:06:48.888 --> 00:06:50.590
And his denomination, and he said
00:06:50.656 --> 00:06:51.257
And he said this man is a legend.
00:06:51.324 --> 00:06:52.692
This man is a legend. he's a godly old man of god
00:06:52.758 --> 00:06:54.427
He's a godly old man of god and he had established hundreds,
00:06:54.494 --> 00:06:57.129
And he had established hundreds, and hundreds of churches
00:06:57.196 --> 00:06:58.731
And hundreds of churches on the mission field.
00:06:58.798 --> 00:06:59.866
On the mission field. and he had faced almost
00:06:59.932 --> 00:07:01.267
And he had faced almost everything you can imagine.
00:07:01.334 --> 00:07:03.369
Everything you can imagine. and he was in -- somewhere in
00:07:03.436 --> 00:07:05.271
And he was in -- somewhere in central america in the jungle,
00:07:05.338 --> 00:07:07.106
Central america in the jungle, deep jungle and they
00:07:07.173 --> 00:07:08.808
Deep jungle and they did not know english,
00:07:08.875 --> 00:07:10.042
Did not know english, of course, nor did
00:07:10.109 --> 00:07:11.010
Of course, nor did they even know spanish.
00:07:11.077 --> 00:07:12.478
They even know spanish. they had their own dialect
00:07:12.545 --> 00:07:14.580
They had their own dialect and everything in this
00:07:14.647 --> 00:07:15.548
And everything in this particular area.
00:07:15.615 --> 00:07:17.283
Particular area. and so, he comes into this area,
00:07:17.350 --> 00:07:19.051
And so, he comes into this area, this veteran missionary,
00:07:19.118 --> 00:07:20.486
This veteran missionary, mighty man of god,
00:07:20.553 --> 00:07:22.088
Mighty man of god, and as he's preaching
00:07:22.154 --> 00:07:23.256
And as he's preaching and building a church
00:07:23.322 --> 00:07:24.490
And building a church the first church in that area
00:07:24.557 --> 00:07:27.493
The first church in that area and reaching that new people
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:29.629
And reaching that new people with the gospel.
00:07:29.695 --> 00:07:31.130
With the gospel. they brought to him
00:07:31.197 --> 00:07:32.298
They brought to him a girl who was completely
00:07:32.365 --> 00:07:34.233
A girl who was completely demon possessed.
00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:35.268
Demon possessed. a woman, who was completely
00:07:35.334 --> 00:07:37.003
A woman, who was completely demon possessed.
00:07:37.069 --> 00:07:38.070
Demon possessed. it took three or four men
00:07:38.137 --> 00:07:39.739
It took three or four men to just control her.
00:07:39.805 --> 00:07:40.940
To just control her. they said they literally
00:07:41.007 --> 00:07:42.141
They said they literally put her in chains
00:07:42.208 --> 00:07:43.543
Put her in chains because she was so violent
00:07:43.609 --> 00:07:45.144
Because she was so violent and so self-destructing
00:07:45.211 --> 00:07:46.546
And so self-destructing to herself.
00:07:46.612 --> 00:07:47.713
To herself. and so, when they brought her,
00:07:47.780 --> 00:07:49.549
And so, when they brought her, he said -- he -- this man
00:07:49.615 --> 00:07:51.117
He said -- he -- this man told pastor tenny and he --
00:07:51.183 --> 00:07:52.919
Told pastor tenny and he -- or bishop tenny
00:07:52.985 --> 00:07:53.619
Or bishop tenny and told me this story
00:07:53.686 --> 00:07:55.154
And told me this story and this is what he said.
00:07:55.221 --> 00:07:56.055
And this is what he said. he said, "the demons cried out
00:07:56.122 --> 00:07:58.291
He said, "the demons cried out in perfect english
00:07:58.357 --> 00:08:01.193
In perfect english through that native woman.
00:08:01.260 --> 00:08:04.430
Through that native woman. 'don't teach the people
00:08:04.497 --> 00:08:06.566
'don't teach the people to forgive.
00:08:06.632 --> 00:08:08.901
To forgive. don't teach the people
00:08:08.968 --> 00:08:11.003
Don't teach the people to forgive.'"
00:08:11.070 --> 00:08:15.207
To forgive.'" isn't it something
00:08:15.274 --> 00:08:16.175
Isn't it something that out of all of
00:08:16.242 --> 00:08:17.376
That out of all of the things demons fear,
00:08:17.443 --> 00:08:20.913
The things demons fear, the one thing that
00:08:20.980 --> 00:08:22.248
The one thing that they dreaded the most
00:08:22.315 --> 00:08:23.916
They dreaded the most is if that preacher
00:08:23.983 --> 00:08:25.418
Is if that preacher would stand up
00:08:25.484 --> 00:08:26.619
Would stand up and tell the people,
00:08:26.686 --> 00:08:28.254
And tell the people, "you must forgive your enemies.
00:08:28.321 --> 00:08:32.124
"you must forgive your enemies. and if you will do it,
00:08:32.191 --> 00:08:33.926
And if you will do it, you will break satan's control
00:08:33.993 --> 00:08:37.063
You will break satan's control and satan's power
00:08:37.129 --> 00:08:38.564
And satan's power off of your family,
00:08:38.631 --> 00:08:39.865
Off of your family, off of your marriage,
00:08:39.932 --> 00:08:41.167
Off of your marriage, off of your future."
00:08:41.233 --> 00:08:42.768
Off of your future." that's important.
00:08:42.835 --> 00:08:43.936
That's important. "off of your future when you
00:08:44.003 --> 00:08:45.805
"off of your future when you release that forgiveness
00:08:45.871 --> 00:08:47.740
Release that forgiveness and that bitterness."
00:08:47.807 --> 00:08:49.675
And that bitterness." when jesus hung on the cross
00:08:49.742 --> 00:08:52.044
When jesus hung on the cross and said, "father,
00:08:52.111 --> 00:08:53.479
And said, "father, forgive them," in that moment
00:08:53.546 --> 00:08:56.248
Forgive them," in that moment satan, the prince,
00:08:56.315 --> 00:08:57.550
Satan, the prince, the power of the air,
00:08:57.617 --> 00:08:59.218
The power of the air, he controlled creation.
00:08:59.285 --> 00:09:01.320
He controlled creation. he controlled the atmosphere.
00:09:01.387 --> 00:09:04.090
He controlled the atmosphere. he controlled all kinds
00:09:04.156 --> 00:09:05.825
He controlled all kinds of things.
00:09:05.891 --> 00:09:06.692
Of things. he's the prince,
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:07.426
He's the prince, the power of the air.
00:09:07.493 --> 00:09:08.127
The power of the air. that's a bible verse
00:09:08.194 --> 00:09:09.261
That's a bible verse in the book of ephesians.
00:09:09.328 --> 00:09:10.696
In the book of ephesians. but in that moment,
00:09:10.763 --> 00:09:11.497
But in that moment, he lost all control
00:09:11.564 --> 00:09:12.632
He lost all control i can prove it
00:09:12.698 --> 00:09:13.332
I can prove it 'cause when jesus said,
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:14.300
'cause when jesus said, "forgive them,"
00:09:14.367 --> 00:09:15.768
"forgive them," instantly the bible
00:09:15.835 --> 00:09:16.669
Instantly the bible said for three hours
00:09:16.736 --> 00:09:17.837
Said for three hours the sun refused to shine.
00:09:17.903 --> 00:09:20.106
The sun refused to shine. he wasn't over the sun anymore.
00:09:20.172 --> 00:09:21.641
He wasn't over the sun anymore. and suddenly, the ground
00:09:21.707 --> 00:09:23.109
And suddenly, the ground began to shake.
00:09:23.175 --> 00:09:25.044
Began to shake. and suddenly death had to
00:09:25.111 --> 00:09:26.679
And suddenly death had to give up some dead folks
00:09:26.746 --> 00:09:27.913
Give up some dead folks and the bible said that
00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:28.714
And the bible said that they walked around jerusalem.
00:09:28.781 --> 00:09:31.117
They walked around jerusalem. dead people were raised
00:09:31.183 --> 00:09:32.585
Dead people were raised from the dead when jesus said,
00:09:32.652 --> 00:09:34.286
From the dead when jesus said, "it is finished."
00:09:34.353 --> 00:09:36.022
"it is finished." and when he said,
00:09:36.088 --> 00:09:37.156
And when he said, "father, forgive them,"
00:09:37.223 --> 00:09:38.591
"father, forgive them," it released such power
00:09:38.658 --> 00:09:40.526
It released such power that even hell knew
00:09:40.593 --> 00:09:42.895
That even hell knew they were not in control.
00:09:42.962 --> 00:09:44.363
They were not in control. the devil knew,
00:09:44.430 --> 00:09:45.364
The devil knew, "i have lost control
00:09:45.431 --> 00:09:47.066
"i have lost control and i have lost my power."
00:09:47.133 --> 00:09:49.468
And i have lost my power." i need somebody
00:09:49.535 --> 00:09:50.102
I need somebody to shout right there.
00:09:50.169 --> 00:09:51.370
To shout right there. [cheering and applause]
00:09:51.437 --> 00:09:52.471

He couldn't control the sun, he couldn't control the earth,
00:09:56.475 --> 00:09:57.910
He couldn't control the earth, he couldn't control hell,
00:09:57.977 --> 00:09:59.378
He couldn't control hell, he couldn't control death
00:09:59.445 --> 00:10:03.349
He couldn't control death in the presence of forgiveness.
00:10:03.416 --> 00:10:06.719
In the presence of forgiveness. do you want satan to lose
00:10:06.786 --> 00:10:08.587
Do you want satan to lose control of your home,
00:10:08.654 --> 00:10:11.857
Control of your home, of your family, of your --

Release forgiveness and satan's foot gets

And satan's foot gets removed and suddenly,
00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:23.002
Removed and suddenly, the door shuts on his face
00:10:23.069 --> 00:10:25.337

In joshua 10, they're five kings

They're five kings who joshua has defeated,
00:11:04.110 --> 00:11:05.644
Who joshua has defeated, and they run to a cave,

00:11:32.471 --> 00:11:34.874
To forgive these people?" i like it.
00:11:34.940 --> 00:11:35.441
I like it. he wanted a
00:11:35.508 --> 00:11:35.841
He wanted a mathematical equation.
00:11:35.908 --> 00:11:37.576
Mathematical equation. [laughter]
00:11:37.643 --> 00:11:38.477
[laughter] he said, "give me a number."
00:11:38.544 --> 00:11:40.780
He said, "give me a number." he said, "i say seven.
00:11:40.846 --> 00:11:42.681
He said, "i say seven. what do you say?
00:11:42.748 --> 00:11:43.949
What do you say? seven times and then
00:11:44.016 --> 00:11:46.285
Seven times and then can i let them have it?"
00:11:46.352 --> 00:11:48.788
Can i let them have it?" and jesus said, "okay,
00:11:48.854 --> 00:11:49.889
And jesus said, "okay, you want it mathematical?
00:11:49.955 --> 00:11:51.223
You want it mathematical? seventy times seven.
00:11:51.290 --> 00:11:53.826
Seventy times seven. he said, "a day."
00:11:53.893 --> 00:11:56.629
He said, "a day." seventy times seven is
00:11:56.695 --> 00:11:58.297
Seventy times seven is 490 times a day, a day.
00:11:58.364 --> 00:12:02.168
490 times a day, a day. that's how many times
00:12:02.234 --> 00:12:03.135
That's how many times you have to forgive."
00:12:03.202 --> 00:12:04.403
You have to forgive." jesus was saying,
00:12:04.470 --> 00:12:06.238
Jesus was saying, "forgiveness,
00:12:06.305 --> 00:12:10.042
"forgiveness, forgiveness is losing count.
00:12:10.109 --> 00:12:16.448
Forgiveness is losing count. forgiveness is when
00:12:16.515 --> 00:12:19.185
Forgiveness is when it doesn't matter anymore.
00:12:19.251 --> 00:12:22.221
It doesn't matter anymore. i choose to love you
00:12:22.288 --> 00:12:23.789
I choose to love you and nothing you

I'm gonna keep on loving you. i may not like your stuff
00:12:29.695 --> 00:12:31.363
I may not like your stuff and i may not be a part of it,

Or a daughter that is gay, don't you dare tell them

That they can never speak to you again,
00:12:45.277 --> 00:12:46.212
Speak to you again, never come around you again.
00:12:46.278 --> 00:12:47.780
Never come around you again. don't do that.
00:12:47.847 --> 00:12:48.781
Don't do that. that's not right.
00:12:48.848 --> 00:12:49.748
That's not right. [applause]
00:12:49.815 --> 00:12:50.349
[applause] that's not right.
00:12:50.416 --> 00:12:51.784
That's not right. love never fails.
00:12:51.851 --> 00:12:55.454
Love never fails. you love 'em.
00:12:55.521 --> 00:12:57.022
You love 'em. you love 'em.

You love -- "but, pastor!" god never called you
00:13:01.527 --> 00:13:02.394
God never called you to judge anybody.
00:13:02.461 --> 00:13:03.329
To judge anybody. you are called to love them.
00:13:03.395 --> 00:13:05.564
You are called to love them. you let god be the judge.
00:13:05.631 --> 00:13:07.132
You let god be the judge. you love people.
00:13:07.199 --> 00:13:08.567
You love people. if people have messed up.
00:13:08.634 --> 00:13:09.702
If people have messed up. if your father was not there,
00:13:09.768 --> 00:13:11.537
If your father was not there, and he was an awful father,
00:13:11.604 --> 00:13:13.105
And he was an awful father, and he left your mother,
00:13:13.172 --> 00:13:15.341
And he left your mother, and you, and your siblings.
00:13:15.407 --> 00:13:17.910
And you, and your siblings. i'm simply telling you
00:13:17.977 --> 00:13:20.546
I'm simply telling you put the overcoat of love on
00:13:20.613 --> 00:13:22.381
Put the overcoat of love on and do the best you can with it.
00:13:22.448 --> 00:13:24.617
And do the best you can with it. i know it's complicated.
00:13:24.683 --> 00:13:26.085
I know it's complicated. i know it's hard,
00:13:26.151 --> 00:13:26.952
I know it's hard, but keep your heart open.
00:13:27.019 --> 00:13:28.954
But keep your heart open. don't keep 'em in a prison in
00:13:29.021 --> 00:13:30.589
Don't keep 'em in a prison in your heart but open up the --
00:13:30.656 --> 00:13:32.825
Your heart but open up the -- because here is why,
00:13:32.892 --> 00:13:34.460
Because here is why, because once they got
00:13:34.526 --> 00:13:35.527
Because once they got in the cave when they
00:13:35.594 --> 00:13:37.563
In the cave when they didn't get over it quick,
00:13:37.630 --> 00:13:39.665
Didn't get over it quick, they had time
00:13:39.732 --> 00:13:40.266
They had time to get in the cave,
00:13:40.332 --> 00:13:41.200
To get in the cave, relax, get over it.
00:13:41.267 --> 00:13:42.635
Relax, get over it. pull yourself together,
00:13:42.701 --> 00:13:43.569
Pull yourself together, guys, and get out of here.
00:13:43.636 --> 00:13:45.471
Guys, and get out of here. but their enemy heard
00:13:45.537 --> 00:13:48.107
But their enemy heard that they were in the cave
00:13:48.173 --> 00:13:49.475
That they were in the cave and had been there a long time.
00:13:49.541 --> 00:13:50.910
And had been there a long time. and then he rode up
00:13:50.976 --> 00:13:52.111
And then he rode up and he told the soldiers
00:13:52.177 --> 00:13:54.146
And he told the soldiers roll the stone in front
00:13:54.213 --> 00:13:55.581
Roll the stone in front of the cave.
00:13:55.648 --> 00:13:56.548
Of the cave. and suddenly, it went from
00:13:56.615 --> 00:13:58.617
And suddenly, it went from an isolation to a prison.
00:13:58.684 --> 00:14:01.854
An isolation to a prison. suddenly, now you can't get out
00:14:01.921 --> 00:14:04.223
Suddenly, now you can't get out because you've given so much
00:14:04.290 --> 00:14:05.691
Because you've given so much room to bitterness you've had
00:14:05.758 --> 00:14:07.526
Room to bitterness you've had the -- satan's had the foot
00:14:07.593 --> 00:14:11.297
The -- satan's had the foot on -- in the door so long
00:14:11.363 --> 00:14:13.565
On -- in the door so long that now it's become a prison
00:14:13.632 --> 00:14:15.601
That now it's become a prison and he can't get out,
00:14:15.668 --> 00:14:17.069
And he can't get out, because we can't get out.
00:14:17.136 --> 00:14:18.971
Because we can't get out. and then finally,
00:14:19.038 --> 00:14:19.872
And then finally, he came back,
00:14:19.939 --> 00:14:21.006
He came back, and he killed them
00:14:21.073 --> 00:14:22.107
And he killed them and threw their bodies in
00:14:22.174 --> 00:14:23.142
And threw their bodies in there and it became a grave.
00:14:23.208 --> 00:14:25.844
There and it became a grave. it went from a cave of isolation
00:14:25.911 --> 00:14:29.014
It went from a cave of isolation 'cause that's what we do.
00:14:29.081 --> 00:14:30.382
'cause that's what we do. "i'm never gonna speak
00:14:30.449 --> 00:14:30.983
"i'm never gonna speak to you again."
00:14:31.050 --> 00:14:32.351
To you again." and it goes from
00:14:32.418 --> 00:14:33.085
And it goes from isolation to prison.
00:14:33.152 --> 00:14:37.556
Isolation to prison. 'cause when you forgive
00:14:37.623 --> 00:14:38.891
'cause when you forgive somebody, they may laugh at you,
00:14:38.958 --> 00:14:41.427
Somebody, they may laugh at you, they may spit at you,
00:14:41.493 --> 00:14:42.461
They may spit at you, they may cuss you.
00:14:42.528 --> 00:14:44.129
They may cuss you. but you are releasing yourself.
00:14:44.196 --> 00:14:46.065
But you are releasing yourself. you're opening the prison
00:14:46.131 --> 00:14:47.967
You're opening the prison door for yourself.
00:14:48.033 --> 00:14:51.937
Door for yourself. it went from isolation
00:14:52.004 --> 00:14:53.906
It went from isolation to prison and from
00:14:53.973 --> 00:14:55.975
To prison and from a cave to a grave.
00:14:56.041 --> 00:15:00.079
A cave to a grave. i'm so glad that christianity
00:15:00.145 --> 00:15:01.914
I'm so glad that christianity has a leader, that they,
00:15:01.981 --> 00:15:04.383
Has a leader, that they, "wounded him for
00:15:04.450 --> 00:15:05.317
"wounded him for our transgressions
00:15:05.384 --> 00:15:06.585
Our transgressions and bruised him
00:15:06.652 --> 00:15:07.619
And bruised him for our iniquities."
00:15:07.686 --> 00:15:08.887
For our iniquities." he was prosecuted.

He was prosecuted. he was persecuted.
00:15:10.155 --> 00:15:11.390
He was persecuted. he was tormented.
00:15:11.457 --> 00:15:12.825
He was tormented. he was beaten.
00:15:12.891 --> 00:15:14.460
He was beaten. he was slaughtered
00:15:14.526 --> 00:15:15.627
He was slaughtered on a cross for something
00:15:15.694 --> 00:15:17.363
On a cross for something he did not do,
00:15:17.429 --> 00:15:18.797
He did not do, and they threw him in the cave.
00:15:18.864 --> 00:15:20.499
And they threw him in the cave. they threw his body in the cave.
00:15:20.566 --> 00:15:22.768
They threw his body in the cave. but on the third day he said,

But on the third day he said, "i am not staying in
00:15:24.003 --> 00:15:25.738
"i am not staying in this cave of offense.
00:15:25.804 --> 00:15:27.673

The dark forces of hamas.
00:25:19.164 --> 00:25:20.932
It was the worst massacre
