  • To arrest and crucify." and jesus knew it.
  • 00:03:52.980 --> 00:03:53.914
  • And jesus knew it. he knew it when
  • 00:03:53.981 --> 00:03:54.581

  • In the upper room the night before that he would betray him.
  • 00:03:57.584 --> 00:03:59.420
  • Before that he would betray him. he knew it when he was in
  • 00:03:59.486 --> 00:04:00.888
  • He knew it when he was in the garden praying and he
  • 00:04:00.954 --> 00:04:02.323
  • The garden praying and he heard him and saw him coming.
  • 00:04:02.389 --> 00:04:03.991
  • Heard him and saw him coming. and jesus stood and when he came
  • 00:04:04.058 --> 00:04:06.393
  • And jesus stood and when he came and kissed him on the cheek.
  • 00:04:06.460 --> 00:04:07.594
  • And kissed him on the cheek. jesus, the bible said,
  • 00:04:07.661 --> 00:04:08.862
  • Jesus, the bible said, kissed him and said, "friend."
  • 00:04:08.929 --> 00:04:12.366
  • Kissed him and said, "friend." jesus called him friend.
  • 00:04:12.433 --> 00:04:14.268
  • Jesus called him friend. sometimes when things happen
  • 00:04:14.335 --> 00:04:17.471
  • Sometimes when things happen that hurt you, you just have
  • 00:04:17.538 --> 00:04:19.206
  • That hurt you, you just have to kiss it and call it friend.
  • 00:04:19.273 --> 00:04:21.975
  • To kiss it and call it friend. because you have to understand
  • 00:04:22.042 --> 00:04:23.744
  • Because you have to understand if it gets you closer to
  • 00:04:23.811 --> 00:04:25.579
  • If it gets you closer to the ultimate fulfillment
  • 00:04:25.646 --> 00:04:27.381
  • The ultimate fulfillment of the purpose of god
  • 00:04:27.448 --> 00:04:29.149
  • Of the purpose of god for your life,
  • 00:04:29.216 --> 00:04:29.917
  • For your life, judas was the key to jesus

  • Judas was the key to jesus ending up on the cross,
  • 00:04:32.453 --> 00:04:34.621
  • Ending up on the cross, and he kissed it
  • 00:04:34.688 --> 00:04:36.056
  • And he kissed it and called it friend.
  • 00:04:36.123 --> 00:04:37.391
  • And called it friend. sometimes painful, hurtful,
  • 00:04:37.458 --> 00:04:39.460
  • 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
  • So much he said, "i'mma put on the coat of love.
  • 00:04:49.002 --> 00:04:50.804
  • "i'mma put on the coat of love. you strip my coat off,
  • 00:04:50.871 --> 00:04:52.172
  • You strip my coat off, that coat of many colors.
  • 00:04:52.239 --> 00:04:53.440
  • That coat of many colors. but i choose to put the coat --
  • 00:04:53.507 --> 00:04:55.943
  • But i choose to put the coat -- overcoat of love on.
  • 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
  • "be angry and sin not." it's okay to get
  • 00:05:11.191 --> 00:05:12.025
  • It's okay to get angry but he said,
  • 00:05:12.092 --> 00:05:13.093
  • Angry but he said, "don't let that anger
  • 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:14.461
  • "don't let that anger get in your spirit.
  • 00:05:14.528 --> 00:05:16.330
  • Get in your spirit. don't let that anger
  • 00:05:16.397 --> 00:05:17.297
  • Don't let that anger turn you into somebody
  • 00:05:17.364 --> 00:05:19.066
  • Turn you into somebody that destroys every
  • 00:05:19.133 --> 00:05:20.567
  • That destroys every relationship because
  • 00:05:20.634 --> 00:05:21.802
  • Relationship because you couldn't get over
  • 00:05:21.869 --> 00:05:23.303
  • You couldn't get over what somebody did to you,
  • 00:05:23.370 --> 00:05:25.038
  • What somebody did to you, and it bleeds over into
  • 00:05:25.105 --> 00:05:26.440
  • And it bleeds over into every other relationship.

  • 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.

  • That's important. "off of your future when you

  • "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,

  • Satan, the prince, the power of the air,
  • 00:08:57.584 --> 00:08:59.186
  • The power of the air, he controlled creation.

  • 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,

  • 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,

  • 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 have lost control and i have lost my power."
  • 00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:49.436
  • And i have lost my power." i need somebody
  • 00:09:49.503 --> 00:09:50.070
  • I need somebody to shout right there.
  • 00:09:50.137 --> 00:09:51.338
  • To shout right there. [cheering and applause]
  • 00:09:51.405 --> 00:09:52.439
  • [cheering and applause] satan couldn't control the air,
  • 00:09:52.506 --> 00:09:54.641
  • Satan couldn't control the air, he couldn't control the sun,
  • 00:09:54.708 --> 00:09:56.376
