- Sometimes painful, hurtful, ugly things come into our life.
- 00:04:39.526 --> 00:04:41.929
- Ugly things come into our life. just like joseph,
- 00:04:41.995 --> 00:04:42.963
- Just like joseph, he said to his brothers
- 00:04:43.030 --> 00:04:44.898
- He said to his brothers who had hurt him,
- 00:04:44.965 --> 00:04:46.300
- Who had hurt him, his own family
- 00:04:46.367 --> 00:04:47.101
- His own family so much he said,
- 00:04:47.167 --> 00:04:48.936

- 00:04:56.009 --> 00:04:57.845
- Overcoat of love on. and you meant it for my evil,
- 00:04:57.911 --> 00:05:00.214
- And you meant it for my evil, but i'mma kiss you
- 00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:01.014
- But i'mma kiss you and call you friend."
- 00:05:01.081 --> 00:05:02.282
- And call you friend." and he kissed them
- 00:05:02.349 --> 00:05:03.050
- And he kissed them and wept over 'em.
- 00:05:03.117 --> 00:05:05.252
- And wept over 'em. ephesians 4 put it this way,
- 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.421
- Ephesians 4 put it this way, "be angry and sin not."
- 00:05:07.488 --> 00:05:11.125

- You couldn't get over what somebody did to you,
- 00:05:23.370 --> 00:05:25.038

- And it bleeds over into every other relationship.
- 00:05:26.507 --> 00:05:28.275

- Let not the sun go down on your wrath lest you
- 00:05:37.050 --> 00:05:39.386

- Deep jungle and they did not know english,
- 00:07:08.842 --> 00:07:10.010

- Demon possessed. it took three or four men
- 00:07:38.105 --> 00:07:39.706
- It took three or four men to just control her.
- 00:07:39.773 --> 00:07:40.908
- To just control her. they said they literally
- 00:07:40.974 --> 00:07:42.109
- They said they literally put her in chains
- 00:07:42.175 --> 00:07:43.510
- Put her in chains because she was so violent
- 00:07:43.577 --> 00:07:45.112
- Because she was so violent and so self-destructing
- 00:07:45.178 --> 00:07:46.513

- Through that native woman. 'don't teach the people
- 00:08:04.464 --> 00:08:06.533
- 'don't teach the people to forgive.
- 00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:08.869

- To forgive.'" isn't it something
- 00:08:15.242 --> 00:08:16.143
- Isn't it something that out of all of
- 00:08:16.209 --> 00:08:17.344
- That out of all of the things demons fear,
- 00:08:17.411 --> 00:08:20.881
- The things demons fear, the one thing that
- 00:08:20.948 --> 00:08:22.215
- The one thing that they dreaded the most
- 00:08:22.282 --> 00:08:23.884
- They dreaded the most is if that preacher
- 00:08:23.951 --> 00:08:25.385
- Is if that preacher would stand up
- 00:08:25.452 --> 00:08:26.587
- Would stand up and tell the people,
- 00:08:26.653 --> 00:08:28.221
- And tell the people, "you must forgive your enemies.
- 00:08:28.288 --> 00:08:32.092
- "you must forgive your enemies. and if you will do it,
- 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.894
- And if you will do it, you will break satan's control
- 00:08:33.961 --> 00:08:37.030
- You will break satan's control and satan's power
- 00:08:37.097 --> 00:08:38.532
- And satan's power off of your family,
- 00:08:38.599 --> 00:08:39.833
- Off of your family, off of your marriage,
- 00:08:39.900 --> 00:08:41.134
- Off of your marriage, off of your future."
- 00:08:41.201 --> 00:08:42.736
- Off of your future." that's important.
- 00:08:42.803 --> 00:08:43.904
- That's important. "off of your future when you
- 00:08:43.971 --> 00:08:45.772
- "off of your future when you release that forgiveness
- 00:08:45.839 --> 00:08:47.708
- Release that forgiveness and that bitterness."
- 00:08:47.774 --> 00:08:49.643
- And that bitterness." when jesus hung on the cross
- 00:08:49.710 --> 00:08:52.012
- When jesus hung on the cross and said, "father,
- 00:08:52.079 --> 00:08:53.447
- And said, "father, forgive them," in that moment
- 00:08:53.513 --> 00:08:56.216
- Forgive them," in that moment satan, the prince,
- 00:08:56.283 --> 00:08:57.517
- Satan, the prince, the power of the air,
- 00:08:57.584 --> 00:08:59.186
- The power of the air, he controlled creation.
- 00:08:59.252 --> 00:09:01.288

- He's the prince, the power of the air.
- 00:09:07.461 --> 00:09:08.095
- The power of the air. that's a bible verse
- 00:09:08.161 --> 00:09:09.229
- That's a bible verse in the book of ephesians.
- 00:09:09.296 --> 00:09:10.664
- In the book of ephesians. but in that moment,
- 00:09:10.731 --> 00:09:11.465
- But in that moment, he lost all control
- 00:09:11.531 --> 00:09:12.599
- He lost all control i can prove it
- 00:09:12.666 --> 00:09:13.300
- I can prove it 'cause when jesus said,
- 00:09:13.367 --> 00:09:14.267
- 'cause when jesus said, "forgive them,"
- 00:09:14.334 --> 00:09:15.736
- "forgive them," instantly the bible
- 00:09:15.802 --> 00:09:16.637
- Instantly the bible said for three hours
- 00:09:16.703 --> 00:09:17.804
- Said for three hours the sun refused to shine.
- 00:09:17.871 --> 00:09:20.073
- The sun refused to shine. he wasn't over the sun anymore.
- 00:09:20.140 --> 00:09:21.608
- He wasn't over the sun anymore. and suddenly, the ground
- 00:09:21.675 --> 00:09:23.076
- And suddenly, the ground began to shake.
- 00:09:23.143 --> 00:09:25.012
- Began to shake. and suddenly death had to
- 00:09:25.078 --> 00:09:26.647
- And suddenly death had to give up some dead folks
- 00:09:26.713 --> 00:09:27.881
- Give up some dead folks and the bible said that
- 00:09:27.948 --> 00:09:28.682
- And the bible said that they walked around jerusalem.
- 00:09:28.749 --> 00:09:31.084
- They walked around jerusalem. dead people were raised
- 00:09:31.151 --> 00:09:32.552
- Dead people were raised from the dead when jesus said,
- 00:09:32.619 --> 00:09:34.254
- From the dead when jesus said, "it is finished."
- 00:09:34.321 --> 00:09:35.989
- "it is finished." and when he said,
- 00:09:36.056 --> 00:09:37.124
- And when he said, "father, forgive them,"
- 00:09:37.190 --> 00:09:38.558
- "father, forgive them," it released such power
- 00:09:38.625 --> 00:09:40.494
- It released such power that even hell knew
- 00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:42.863
- That even hell knew they were not in control.
- 00:09:42.929 --> 00:09:44.331
- They were not in control. the devil knew,
- 00:09:44.398 --> 00:09:45.332
- The devil knew, "i have lost control
- 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:47.034

- I know it's complicated. i know it's hard,
- 00:13:26.119 --> 00:13:26.920

- Your heart but open up the -- because here is why,
- 00:13:32.859 --> 00:13:34.427
- Because here is why, because once they got
- 00:13:34.494 --> 00:13:35.495
- Because once they got in the cave when they
- 00:13:35.562 --> 00:13:37.530
- In the cave when they didn't get over it quick,
- 00:13:37.597 --> 00:13:39.633
- Didn't get over it quick, they had time
- 00:13:39.699 --> 00:13:40.233
- They had time to get in the cave,
- 00:13:40.300 --> 00:13:41.167
- To get in the cave, relax, get over it.
- 00:13:41.234 --> 00:13:42.602
- Relax, get over it. pull yourself together,
- 00:13:42.669 --> 00:13:43.536
- Pull yourself together, guys, and get out of here.
- 00:13:43.603 --> 00:13:45.438
- Guys, and get out of here. but their enemy heard
- 00:13:45.505 --> 00:13:48.074
- But their enemy heard that they were in the cave
- 00:13:48.141 --> 00:13:49.442
- That they were in the cave and had been there a long time.
- 00:13:49.509 --> 00:13:50.877
- And had been there a long time. and then he rode up
- 00:13:50.944 --> 00:13:52.078
- And then he rode up and he told the soldiers
- 00:13:52.145 --> 00:13:54.114
- And he told the soldiers roll the stone in front
- 00:13:54.180 --> 00:13:55.548
- Roll the stone in front of the cave.
- 00:13:55.615 --> 00:13:56.516
- Of the cave. and suddenly, it went from
- 00:13:56.583 --> 00:13:58.585
- And suddenly, it went from an isolation to a prison.
- 00:13:58.652 --> 00:14:01.821
- An isolation to a prison. suddenly, now you can't get out
- 00:14:01.888 --> 00:14:04.190
- Suddenly, now you can't get out because you've given so much
- 00:14:04.257 --> 00:14:05.659
- Because you've given so much room to bitterness you've had
- 00:14:05.725 --> 00:14:07.494
- Room to bitterness you've had the -- satan's had the foot
- 00:14:07.560 --> 00:14:11.264
- The -- satan's had the foot on -- in the door so long
- 00:14:11.331 --> 00:14:13.533
- On -- in the door so long that now it's become a prison
- 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.568
- That now it's become a prison and he can't get out,
- 00:14:15.635 --> 00:14:17.037
- And he can't get out, because we can't get out.
- 00:14:17.103 --> 00:14:18.939
- Because we can't get out. and then finally,
- 00:14:19.005 --> 00:14:19.839
- And then finally, he came back,
- 00:14:19.906 --> 00:14:20.974
- He came back, and he killed them
- 00:14:21.041 --> 00:14:22.075
- And he killed them and threw their bodies in
- 00:14:22.142 --> 00:14:23.109
- And threw their bodies in there and it became a grave.
- 00:14:23.176 --> 00:14:25.812
- There and it became a grave. it went from a cave of isolation
- 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:28.982
- It went from a cave of isolation 'cause that's what we do.
- 00:14:29.049 --> 00:14:30.350
- 'cause that's what we do. "i'm never gonna speak
- 00:14:30.417 --> 00:14:30.951
- "i'm never gonna speak to you again."
- 00:14:31.017 --> 00:14:32.319

- 00:14:32.385 --> 00:14:33.053
- And it goes from isolation to prison.
- 00:14:33.119 --> 00:14:37.524
- Isolation to prison. 'cause when you forgive
- 00:14:37.590 --> 00:14:38.858
- 'cause when you forgive somebody, they may laugh at you,
- 00:14:38.925 --> 00:14:41.394
- Somebody, they may laugh at you, they may spit at you,
- 00:14:41.461 --> 00:14:42.429
- They may spit at you, they may cuss you.
- 00:14:42.495 --> 00:14:44.097
- They may cuss you. but you are releasing yourself.
- 00:14:44.164 --> 00:14:46.032

- 00:14:46.099 --> 00:14:47.934
