- To the roman soldiers pointing out,
- 00:03:46.806 --> 00:03:47.974

- 00:03:53.980 --> 00:03:54.914
- And jesus knew it. he knew it when
- 00:03:54.981 --> 00:03:55.581

- 00:04:01.954 --> 00:04:03.323

- Jesus called him friend. sometimes when things happen
- 00:04:15.335 --> 00:04:18.471
- Sometimes when things happen that hurt you, you just have
- 00:04:18.538 --> 00:04:20.206
- That hurt you, you just have to kiss it and call it friend.
- 00:04:20.273 --> 00:04:22.975
- To kiss it and call it friend. because you have to understand
- 00:04:23.042 --> 00:04:24.744
- Because you have to understand if it gets you closer to
- 00:04:24.811 --> 00:04:26.579
- If it gets you closer to the ultimate fulfillment
- 00:04:26.646 --> 00:04:28.381
- The ultimate fulfillment of the purpose of god
- 00:04:28.448 --> 00:04:30.149
- Of the purpose of god for your life,
- 00:04:30.216 --> 00:04:30.917

- Judas was the key to jesus ending up on the cross,
- 00:04:33.453 --> 00:04:35.621
- Ending up on the cross, and he kissed it
- 00:04:35.688 --> 00:04:37.056

- 00:04:37.123 --> 00:04:38.391
- And called it friend. sometimes painful, hurtful,
- 00:04:38.458 --> 00:04:40.460
- Sometimes painful, hurtful, ugly things come into our life.
- 00:04:40.526 --> 00:04:42.929
- Ugly things come into our life. just like joseph,
- 00:04:42.995 --> 00:04:43.963
- Just like joseph, he said to his brothers
- 00:04:44.030 --> 00:04:45.898
- He said to his brothers who had hurt him,
- 00:04:45.965 --> 00:04:47.300
- Who had hurt him, his own family
- 00:04:47.367 --> 00:04:48.101
- His own family so much he said,
- 00:04:48.167 --> 00:04:49.936
- So much he said, "i'mma put on the coat of love.
- 00:04:50.002 --> 00:04:51.804
- "i'mma put on the coat of love. you strip my coat off,
- 00:04:51.871 --> 00:04:53.172
- You strip my coat off, that coat of many colors.
- 00:04:53.239 --> 00:04:54.440
- That coat of many colors. but i choose to put the coat --
- 00:04:54.507 --> 00:04:56.943
- But i choose to put the coat -- overcoat of love on.
- 00:04:57.009 --> 00:04:58.845
- Overcoat of love on. and you meant it for my evil,
- 00:04:58.911 --> 00:05:01.214
- And you meant it for my evil, but i'mma kiss you
- 00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:02.014
- But i'mma kiss you and call you friend."
- 00:05:02.081 --> 00:05:03.282
- And call you friend." and he kissed them
- 00:05:03.349 --> 00:05:04.050
- And he kissed them and wept over 'em.
- 00:05:04.117 --> 00:05:06.252
- And wept over 'em. ephesians 4 put it this way,
- 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:08.421
- Ephesians 4 put it this way, "be angry and sin not."
- 00:05:08.488 --> 00:05:12.125
- "be angry and sin not." it's okay to get
- 00:05:12.191 --> 00:05:13.025
- It's okay to get angry but he said,
- 00:05:13.092 --> 00:05:14.093
- Angry but he said, "don't let that anger
- 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.461
- "don't let that anger get in your spirit.
- 00:05:15.528 --> 00:05:17.330
- Get in your spirit. don't let that anger
- 00:05:17.397 --> 00:05:18.297
- Don't let that anger turn you into somebody
- 00:05:18.364 --> 00:05:20.066
- Turn you into somebody that destroys every
- 00:05:20.133 --> 00:05:21.567
- That destroys every relationship because
- 00:05:21.634 --> 00:05:22.802
- Relationship because you couldn't get over
- 00:05:22.869 --> 00:05:24.303
- You couldn't get over what somebody did to you,
- 00:05:24.370 --> 00:05:26.038
- What somebody did to you, and it bleeds over into
- 00:05:26.105 --> 00:05:27.440
- And it bleeds over into every other relationship.
- 00:05:27.507 --> 00:05:29.275
- Every other relationship. he said, "be angry and sin not,"
- 00:05:29.342 --> 00:05:31.077
- He said, "be angry and sin not," and then he tells you
- 00:05:31.144 --> 00:05:31.811
- And then he tells you how to do it.
- 00:05:31.878 --> 00:05:33.279
- How to do it. he says, "here's how
- 00:05:33.346 --> 00:05:33.913
- He says, "here's how you do that.
- 00:05:33.980 --> 00:05:35.114
- You do that. let not the sun go down
- 00:05:35.181 --> 00:05:37.984
- Let not the sun go down on your wrath lest you

- That out of all of the things demons fear,
- 00:08:18.411 --> 00:08:21.881
- The things demons fear, the one thing that
- 00:08:21.948 --> 00:08:23.215
- The one thing that they dreaded the most
- 00:08:23.282 --> 00:08:24.884
- They dreaded the most is if that preacher
- 00:08:24.951 --> 00:08:26.385
- Is if that preacher would stand up
- 00:08:26.452 --> 00:08:27.587
- Would stand up and tell the people,
- 00:08:27.653 --> 00:08:29.221
- And tell the people, "you must forgive your enemies.

- "you must forgive your enemies. and if you will do it,
- 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:34.894
- And if you will do it, you will break satan's control

- You will break satan's control and satan's power
- 00:08:38.097 --> 00:08:39.532

- 00:08:39.599 --> 00:08:40.833
- Off of your family, off of your marriage,
- 00:08:40.900 --> 00:08:42.134

- That's important. "off of your future when you
- 00:08:44.971 --> 00:08:46.772
- "off of your future when you release that forgiveness
- 00:08:46.839 --> 00:08:48.708
- Release that forgiveness and that bitterness."
- 00:08:48.774 --> 00:08:50.643
- And that bitterness." when jesus hung on the cross
- 00:08:50.710 --> 00:08:53.012
- When jesus hung on the cross and said, "father,
- 00:08:53.079 --> 00:08:54.447
- And said, "father, forgive them," in that moment
- 00:08:54.513 --> 00:08:57.216
- Forgive them," in that moment satan, the prince,
- 00:08:57.283 --> 00:08:58.517
- Satan, the prince, the power of the air,
- 00:08:58.584 --> 00:09:00.186

- The power of the air. that's a bible verse
- 00:09:09.161 --> 00:09:10.229
- That's a bible verse in the book of ephesians.
- 00:09:10.296 --> 00:09:11.664
- In the book of ephesians. but in that moment,
- 00:09:11.731 --> 00:09:12.465
- But in that moment, he lost all control
- 00:09:12.531 --> 00:09:13.599
- He lost all control i can prove it
- 00:09:13.666 --> 00:09:14.300
- I can prove it 'cause when jesus said,
- 00:09:14.367 --> 00:09:15.267
- 'cause when jesus said, "forgive them,"
- 00:09:15.334 --> 00:09:16.736
- "forgive them," instantly the bible
- 00:09:16.802 --> 00:09:17.637

- 00:09:18.871 --> 00:09:21.073
- The sun refused to shine. he wasn't over the sun anymore.
- 00:09:21.140 --> 00:09:22.608
- He wasn't over the sun anymore. and suddenly, the ground
- 00:09:22.675 --> 00:09:24.076
- And suddenly, the ground began to shake.
- 00:09:24.143 --> 00:09:26.012
- Began to shake. and suddenly death had to
- 00:09:26.078 --> 00:09:27.647
- And suddenly death had to give up some dead folks
- 00:09:27.713 --> 00:09:28.881
- Give up some dead folks and the bible said that
- 00:09:28.948 --> 00:09:29.682
- And the bible said that they walked around jerusalem.
- 00:09:29.749 --> 00:09:32.084
- They walked around jerusalem. dead people were raised
- 00:09:32.151 --> 00:09:33.552
- Dead people were raised from the dead when jesus said,
- 00:09:33.619 --> 00:09:35.254
- From the dead when jesus said, "it is finished."
- 00:09:35.321 --> 00:09:36.989
- "it is finished." and when he said,
- 00:09:37.056 --> 00:09:38.124
- And when he said, "father, forgive them,"
- 00:09:38.190 --> 00:09:39.558
- "father, forgive them," it released such power
- 00:09:39.625 --> 00:09:41.494
- It released such power that even hell knew
- 00:09:41.560 --> 00:09:43.863
- That even hell knew they were not in control.
- 00:09:43.929 --> 00:09:45.331

- I know it's complicated. i know it's hard,

- Your heart but open up the -- because here is why,

- Because here is why, because once they got
- 00:13:35.494 --> 00:13:36.495
- Because once they got in the cave when they
- 00:13:36.562 --> 00:13:38.530
- In the cave when they didn't get over it quick,
- 00:13:38.597 --> 00:13:40.633
- Didn't get over it quick, they had time
- 00:13:40.699 --> 00:13:41.233
- They had time to get in the cave,
- 00:13:41.300 --> 00:13:42.167
- To get in the cave, relax, get over it.
- 00:13:42.234 --> 00:13:43.602
- Relax, get over it. pull yourself together,
- 00:13:43.669 --> 00:13:44.536
- Pull yourself together, guys, and get out of here.
- 00:13:44.603 --> 00:13:46.438
- Guys, and get out of here. but their enemy heard
- 00:13:46.505 --> 00:13:49.074
- But their enemy heard that they were in the cave
- 00:13:49.141 --> 00:13:50.442
- That they were in the cave and had been there a long time.
- 00:13:50.509 --> 00:13:51.877
- And had been there a long time. and then he rode up
- 00:13:51.944 --> 00:13:53.078
- And then he rode up and he told the soldiers
- 00:13:53.145 --> 00:13:55.114
- And he told the soldiers roll the stone in front
- 00:13:55.180 --> 00:13:56.548
- Roll the stone in front of the cave.
- 00:13:56.615 --> 00:13:57.516
- Of the cave. and suddenly, it went from
- 00:13:57.583 --> 00:13:59.585
- And suddenly, it went from an isolation to a prison.
- 00:13:59.652 --> 00:14:02.821
- An isolation to a prison. suddenly, now you can't get out
- 00:14:02.888 --> 00:14:05.190
- Suddenly, now you can't get out because you've given so much
- 00:14:05.257 --> 00:14:06.659
- Because you've given so much room to bitterness you've had
- 00:14:06.725 --> 00:14:08.494
- Room to bitterness you've had the -- satan's had the foot
- 00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:12.264
- The -- satan's had the foot on -- in the door so long
- 00:14:12.331 --> 00:14:14.533
- On -- in the door so long that now it's become a prison
- 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:16.568
- That now it's become a prison and he can't get out,
- 00:14:16.635 --> 00:14:18.037
- And he can't get out, because we can't get out.
- 00:14:18.103 --> 00:14:19.939
- Because we can't get out. and then finally,
- 00:14:20.005 --> 00:14:20.839
- And then finally, he came back,
- 00:14:20.906 --> 00:14:21.974
- He came back, and he killed them
- 00:14:22.041 --> 00:14:23.075
- And he killed them and threw their bodies in
- 00:14:23.142 --> 00:14:24.109
- And threw their bodies in there and it became a grave.
- 00:14:24.176 --> 00:14:26.812
- There and it became a grave. it went from a cave of isolation
- 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:29.982
- It went from a cave of isolation 'cause that's what we do.
- 00:14:30.049 --> 00:14:31.350
- 'cause that's what we do. "i'm never gonna speak
- 00:14:31.417 --> 00:14:31.951
- "i'm never gonna speak to you again."
- 00:14:32.017 --> 00:14:33.319

- 00:14:33.385 --> 00:14:34.053
- And it goes from isolation to prison.
- 00:14:34.119 --> 00:14:38.524
- Isolation to prison. 'cause when you forgive
- 00:14:38.590 --> 00:14:39.858
- 'cause when you forgive somebody, they may laugh at you,
- 00:14:39.925 --> 00:14:42.394
- Somebody, they may laugh at you, they may spit at you,
- 00:14:42.461 --> 00:14:43.429
- They may spit at you, they may cuss you.
- 00:14:43.495 --> 00:14:45.097
- They may cuss you. but you are releasing yourself.
- 00:14:45.164 --> 00:14:47.032
