Many things that have captured my heart, sometimes distractions,
00:07:54.997 --> 00:07:56.032
That have captured my heart, sometimes distractions, sometimes
00:07:56.098 --> 00:07:57.233
Sometimes distractions, sometimes unhealthy attractions,
00:07:57.300 --> 00:07:58.467
Sometimes unhealthy attractions, sometimes
00:07:58.534 --> 00:07:59.635
Unhealthy attractions, sometimes exciting attractions,
00:07:59.702 --> 00:08:00.803

For the rest of my life is to help his family understand the importance
00:08:10.746 --> 00:08:11.914
Is to help his family understand the importance of looking like the father.
00:08:11.981 --> 00:08:13.049

For the family to reveal his will to a world groping in darkness
00:08:22.892 --> 00:08:24.894
To reveal his will to a world groping in darkness because we can walk in light.
00:08:24.961 --> 00:08:28.097
To a world groping in darkness because we can walk in light. the light of the world
00:08:28.164 --> 00:08:29.398
Because we can walk in light. the light of the world can be shining through us
00:08:29.465 --> 00:08:31.067

And reveal his kingdom's purpose. listen to what jesus
00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:37.907
His kingdom's purpose. listen to what jesus was saying to his disciples
00:08:37.974 --> 00:08:39.108
Listen to what jesus was saying to his disciples and understand
00:08:39.175 --> 00:08:40.409
Was saying to his disciples and understand that in the last chapters
00:08:40.476 --> 00:08:41.911
And understand that in the last chapters of all the gospels,
00:08:41.978 --> 00:08:43.145
That in the last chapters of all the gospels, and the gospel of john,
00:08:43.212 --> 00:08:44.947
Of all the gospels, and the gospel of john, it seems in many ways
00:08:45.014 --> 00:08:46.515
And the gospel of john, it seems in many ways it is almost like
00:08:46.582 --> 00:08:48.050
It seems in many ways it is almost like you could pull it out and say
00:08:48.117 --> 00:08:49.652
It is almost like you could pull it out and say these are the last thoughts,
00:08:49.719 --> 00:08:51.087
You could pull it out and say these are the last thoughts, the last days,
00:08:51.153 --> 00:08:52.421
These are the last thoughts, the last days, the last weeks
00:08:52.488 --> 00:08:53.623
The last days, the last weeks and months that jesus
00:08:53.689 --> 00:08:54.924
The last weeks and months that jesus was with the disciples,
00:08:54.991 --> 00:08:56.225
And months that jesus was with the disciples, right up until he left.
00:08:56.292 --> 00:08:57.560
Was with the disciples, right up until he left. so these are
00:08:57.627 --> 00:08:58.961
Right up until he left. so these are very important words.
00:08:59.028 --> 00:09:00.396
So these are very important words. they would be very
00:09:00.463 --> 00:09:01.631
Very important words. they would be very important words
00:09:01.697 --> 00:09:02.865
They would be very important words because based on age,
00:09:02.932 --> 00:09:04.166
Important words because based on age, we're living in our last days.
00:09:04.233 --> 00:09:05.401
Because based on age, we're living in our last days. if we live to be 100,
00:09:05.468 --> 00:09:06.502
We're living in our last days. if we live to be 100, we have 80% of our life
00:09:06.569 --> 00:09:07.770
If we live to be 100, we have 80% of our life behind us.
00:09:07.837 --> 00:09:08.938
We have 80% of our life behind us. but all of us are living
00:09:09.005 --> 00:09:10.172
Behind us. but all of us are living in the last days
00:09:10.239 --> 00:09:11.340
But all of us are living in the last days or the final last days.
00:09:11.407 --> 00:09:12.875
In the last days or the final last days. this is one of the things
00:09:12.942 --> 00:09:14.410
I want to start showing you
00:09:14.510 --> 00:09:15.711
I want to start showing you in the weeks to come.

I want to start showing you in the weeks to come. his will can be done
00:09:17.013 --> 00:09:18.781
In the weeks to come. his will can be done only the way he left us here
00:09:18.848 --> 00:09:21.017
His will can be done only the way he left us here for it to be done
00:09:21.083 --> 00:09:22.284
Only the way he left us here for it to be done if it is done
00:09:22.351 --> 00:09:23.486
Before he comes back
00:09:23.586 --> 00:09:25.021
Before he comes back because there is nothing
00:09:25.087 --> 00:09:26.088
Before he comes back because there is nothing to overcome,
00:09:26.155 --> 00:09:27.289
Because there is nothing to overcome, there is nothing to conquer,
00:09:27.356 --> 00:09:28.324
To overcome, there is nothing to conquer, there is nothing
00:09:28.391 --> 00:09:29.525
There is nothing to conquer, there is nothing to put armor on to resist
00:09:29.592 --> 00:09:30.760
There is nothing to put armor on to resist in the next kingdom!
00:09:30.826 --> 00:09:31.927
To put armor on to resist in the next kingdom! no enemy!
00:09:31.994 --> 00:09:33.029
In the next kingdom! no enemy! nothing to overcome -- period!
00:09:33.095 --> 00:09:34.864
No enemy! nothing to overcome -- period! it's his will done.
00:09:34.930 --> 00:09:36.866
Nothing to overcome -- period! it's his will done. if it is done,
00:09:36.932 --> 00:09:38.100
It's his will done. if it is done, it's done now in this kingdom,
00:09:38.167 --> 00:09:39.735
If it is done, it's done now in this kingdom, which is what
00:09:39.802 --> 00:09:41.003
It's done now in this kingdom, which is what the disciples did.
00:09:41.070 --> 00:09:42.104
Which is what the disciples did. it is what
00:09:42.171 --> 00:09:43.339
The disciples did. it is what they caused to happen
00:09:43.406 --> 00:09:44.507
It is what they caused to happen to shake and shape the world.
00:09:44.573 --> 00:09:45.708
They caused to happen to shake and shape the world. that's what at this moment
00:09:45.775 --> 00:09:47.109
To shake and shape the world. that's what at this moment more powerfully
00:09:47.176 --> 00:09:48.644
That's what at this moment more powerfully and effectively
00:09:48.711 --> 00:09:49.879
More powerfully and effectively than at any time in history,
00:09:49.945 --> 00:09:51.113
And effectively than at any time in history, the church,
00:09:51.180 --> 00:09:52.348
Than at any time in history, the church, the family of the father
00:09:52.415 --> 00:09:53.616
The church, the family of the father should begin to shape
00:09:53.683 --> 00:09:54.684
The family of the father should begin to shape the future of the world
00:09:54.750 --> 00:09:55.785
Should begin to shape the future of the world by overcoming
00:09:55.851 --> 00:09:57.053
The future of the world by overcoming the kingdom of evil
00:09:57.119 --> 00:09:58.220
By overcoming the kingdom of evil and deception
00:09:58.287 --> 00:09:59.455
The kingdom of evil and deception and revealing

And freedom and fullness. that's what we do. listen to jesus talking

To a passage where jesus starts talking about the importance of the light.

Every moment of my life to see his dream, his desire, and his goals come true
00:11:52.201 --> 00:11:54.403
To see his dream, his desire, and his goals come true through the only source

And his goals come true through the only source and force

And the truth that makes us free
00:13:08.978 --> 00:13:10.346

That sets us free -- free from the manipulating power
00:13:21.323 --> 00:13:22.658
Of satan.
00:13:24.026 --> 00:13:25.361
Of satan. he is the only force
00:13:25.427 --> 00:13:26.695
He is the only force and the only source
00:13:26.762 --> 00:13:27.997
And the only source that can enable us
00:13:28.063 --> 00:13:29.431
That can enable us to overcome the deception,
00:13:29.498 --> 00:13:31.700
And the destruction
00:13:34.036 --> 00:13:35.804
And the destruction of the deceiver.

Because of the deception? can't you see the defeat? can't you see the pain

We have seen one of the greatest manifestations of demonic deception
00:13:53.355 --> 00:13:54.390
The greatest manifestations of demonic deception in history?
00:13:54.456 --> 00:13:55.491
Of demonic deception in history? we have watched our nation
00:13:55.557 --> 00:13:57.393
In history? we have watched our nation make decisions
00:13:57.459 --> 00:13:58.794
We have watched our nation make decisions to literally invite satan,
00:13:58.861 --> 00:14:01.563
Make decisions to literally invite satan, demonic control,
00:14:01.630 --> 00:14:03.232
To literally invite satan, demonic control, death and deception,
00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:04.600
Demonic control, death and deception, dissension and division
00:14:04.667 --> 00:14:06.201
Death and deception, dissension and division into our country,
00:14:06.268 --> 00:14:07.670
Dissension and division into our country, and fund demonic, devilish,

And fund demonic, devilish, deadly, damaging, destructive activity.
00:14:12.975 --> 00:14:14.410
Deadly, damaging, destructive activity. we've done that!
00:14:14.476 --> 00:14:15.945
Destructive activity. we've done that! can you believe
00:14:16.011 --> 00:14:17.279
We've done that! can you believe what we've brought in?
00:14:17.346 --> 00:14:18.547
Can you believe what we've brought in? can you believe
00:14:18.614 --> 00:14:19.882
What we've brought in? can you believe what we've invited in?
00:14:19.949 --> 00:14:21.250
Can you believe what we've invited in? can you believe the mindset
00:14:21.317 --> 00:14:22.518
What we've invited in? can you believe the mindset that has been running
00:14:22.584 --> 00:14:23.886
Can you believe the mindset that has been running this country?
00:14:23.953 --> 00:14:25.187
That has been running this country? then can you believe
00:14:25.254 --> 00:14:26.755
This country? then can you believe the miracle of prayer
00:14:26.822 --> 00:14:28.958
Then can you believe the miracle of prayer where god can take somebody
00:14:29.024 --> 00:14:30.359
The miracle of prayer where god can take somebody who was mightily gifted,
00:14:30.426 --> 00:14:33.228
Where god can take somebody who was mightily gifted, very smart, very tireless,
00:14:33.295 --> 00:14:35.464
Who was mightily gifted, very smart, very tireless, very self-centered,
00:14:35.531 --> 00:14:36.932
Very smart, very tireless, very self-centered, not-godly, and yet,
00:14:36.999 --> 00:14:38.867
Very self-centered, not-godly, and yet, suddenly grab his attention
00:14:38.934 --> 00:14:41.737
Not-godly, and yet, suddenly grab his attention to see what's happening
00:14:41.804 --> 00:14:43.305
Suddenly grab his attention to see what's happening in a nation
00:14:43.372 --> 00:14:44.773
To see what's happening in a nation that has been so blessed
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:46.008
In a nation that has been so blessed that it blessed him
00:14:46.075 --> 00:14:47.343
That has been so blessed that it blessed him even with his brilliance,
00:14:47.409 --> 00:14:48.877
That it blessed him even with his brilliance, but his selfishness
00:14:48.944 --> 00:14:50.646
Even with his brilliance, but his selfishness and foolishness,
00:14:50.713 --> 00:14:52.114
But his selfishness and foolishness, to where he needed to change?
00:14:52.181 --> 00:14:54.183
And foolishness, to where he needed to change? it was an amazing thing.
00:14:54.249 --> 00:14:55.484
To where he needed to change? it was an amazing thing. and now, betty,
00:14:55.551 --> 00:14:56.919
It was an amazing thing. and now, betty, what would you call that?
00:14:56.986 --> 00:14:58.287
And now, betty, what would you call that? would you call that
00:14:58.354 --> 00:14:59.588
What would you call that? would you call that a spiritual miracle?
00:14:59.655 --> 00:15:00.956
Would you call that a spiritual miracle? betty: absolutely! absolutely!
00:15:01.023 --> 00:15:02.324
A spiritual miracle? betty: absolutely! absolutely! it is a great opportunity
00:15:02.391 --> 00:15:03.492
Betty: absolutely! absolutely! it is a great opportunity for christians.
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:04.760
It is a great opportunity for christians. we have a responsibility
00:15:04.827 --> 00:15:06.061
For christians. we have a responsibility to be strong, to stand up,
00:15:06.128 --> 00:15:07.463
We have a responsibility to be strong, to stand up, and to put the armor on
00:15:07.529 --> 00:15:08.964
To be strong, to stand up, and to put the armor on that he provided for us.
00:15:09.031 --> 00:15:10.599
And to put the armor on that he provided for us. he would not
00:15:10.666 --> 00:15:11.867
That he provided for us. he would not have given us armor
00:15:11.934 --> 00:15:13.035
He would not have given us armor if he didn't expect us
00:15:13.102 --> 00:15:14.370
Have given us armor if he didn't expect us to go to battle.
00:15:14.436 --> 00:15:15.804
If he didn't expect us to go to battle. battle in love and peace
00:15:15.871 --> 00:15:17.639
To go to battle. battle in love and peace and joy, but god wins.
00:15:17.706 --> 00:15:19.875
Battle in love and peace and joy, but god wins. we know that.
00:15:19.942 --> 00:15:21.110
And joy, but god wins. we know that. but we have our part
00:15:21.176 --> 00:15:22.411
We know that. but we have our part to do, too, james.

But we have our part to do, too, james. that's what we want

To do, too, james. that's what we want to inspire you to know.

That you're not finished yet. god is not finished with you. he has a job for you to do.
00:15:29.551 --> 00:15:31.987
God is not finished with you. he has a job for you to do. he has a purpose for you.
00:15:32.054 --> 00:15:34.189
He has a job for you to do. he has a purpose for you. i hope you can seek him
00:15:34.256 --> 00:15:35.791
He has a purpose for you. i hope you can seek him with your whole heart
00:15:35.858 --> 00:15:37.826
I hope you can seek him with your whole heart and ask him,
00:15:37.893 --> 00:15:39.194
With your whole heart and ask him, god, what is my purpose?
00:15:39.261 --> 00:15:40.896

Betty and i saw the need. we wept.

We wept. it was easy to weep

It was easy to weep with parents.
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:33.268
With parents. they were weeping
00:18:33.335 --> 00:18:34.636
They were weeping having lost children.

Having lost children. some of them several.
00:18:35.871 --> 00:18:37.172

Betty, isn't it an amazing thing to see
00:18:47.683 --> 00:18:49.718
An amazing thing to see what just giving people
00:18:49.785 --> 00:18:51.053
What just giving people clean water does?
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:52.354
Clean water does? betty: it really is, james.
00:18:52.421 --> 00:18:53.589
Betty: it really is, james. i pick up this cup
00:18:53.655 --> 00:18:54.723
I pick up this cup that has water in it and
00:18:54.790 --> 00:18:56.091
That has water in it and i don't even think about it
00:18:56.158 --> 00:18:57.292
I don't even think about it because i know
00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:58.560
Because i know it is safe to drink.
00:18:58.627 --> 00:18:59.895
It is safe to drink. but can you imagine a mother
00:18:59.962 --> 00:19:01.330
But can you imagine a mother having to offer her baby
00:19:01.396 --> 00:19:04.433
Having to offer her baby the water was so contaminated
00:19:04.499 --> 00:19:06.068
The water was so contaminated and so filthy, so diseased.
00:19:06.134 --> 00:19:09.538
And so filthy, so diseased. and thinking, now my baby
00:19:09.605 --> 00:19:11.873
And thinking, now my baby has to have a drink,
00:19:11.940 --> 00:19:13.542
Has to have a drink, they have to have some water
00:19:13.609 --> 00:19:15.444
They have to have some water but if i give my baby
00:19:15.510 --> 00:19:16.912
But if i give my baby that water
00:19:16.979 --> 00:19:18.280
That water it could kill my baby.
00:19:18.347 --> 00:19:20.682
It could kill my baby. it just breaks
00:19:20.749 --> 00:19:22.050
It just breaks the heart of a mother
00:19:22.117 --> 00:19:23.418
The heart of a mother to have to do that.
00:19:23.485 --> 00:19:24.853
To have to do that. but what else can she do?
00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:27.189
But what else can she do? she has to count on others,
00:19:27.256 --> 00:19:29.091
She has to count on others, like us, to reach out,
00:19:29.157 --> 00:19:31.927
Like us, to reach out, out of the depth
00:19:31.994 --> 00:19:33.428
Out of the depth of our hearts, and say,
00:19:33.495 --> 00:19:34.830
Of our hearts, and say, god, what can we do?
00:19:34.896 --> 00:19:36.064
God, what can we do? can we give our best
00:19:36.131 --> 00:19:37.399
Can we give our best to help drill

To help drill these water wells?
00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:40.135
These water wells? james,

Erwin: this is pastor lutzer.
00:22:28.737 --> 00:22:30.872
Erwin: this is pastor lutzer. perhaps as you look at
00:22:30.939 --> 00:22:32.374
Perhaps as you look at the religions of the world,
00:22:32.441 --> 00:22:33.675
The religions of the world, you ask yourself,
00:22:33.742 --> 00:22:35.477
The only way to the father?
00:22:37.646 --> 00:22:39.915
The only way to the father? after all, there are lots
00:22:39.981 --> 00:22:41.483
The only way to the father? after all, there are lots of religious options
00:22:41.550 --> 00:22:43.718
After all, there are lots of religious options to choose from.
00:22:43.785 --> 00:22:45.787
Of religious options to choose from. well, the answer
00:22:45.854 --> 00:22:46.955
To choose from. well, the answer is simply this.
00:22:47.022 --> 00:22:48.290
Well, the answer is simply this. that other religions
00:22:48.356 --> 00:22:49.591
Is simply this. that other religions have gurus and prophets,
00:22:49.658 --> 00:22:50.892
That other religions have gurus and prophets, they have teachers,
00:22:50.959 --> 00:22:52.494
Have gurus and prophets, they have teachers, but what they don't have
00:22:52.561 --> 00:22:54.296
They have teachers, but what they don't have is a savior who can
00:22:54.362 --> 00:22:55.864
But what they don't have is a savior who can actually forgive our sins,
00:22:55.931 --> 00:22:58.200
Is a savior who can actually forgive our sins, clean us off, so to speak,
00:22:58.266 --> 00:23:00.202
Actually forgive our sins, clean us off, so to speak, and present us to god
00:23:00.268 --> 00:23:01.636
Clean us off, so to speak, and present us to god the father as perfect.
00:23:01.703 --> 00:23:04.306
And present us to god the father as perfect. jesus is the only one who
00:23:04.372 --> 00:23:06.775
The father as perfect. jesus is the only one who has those qualifications.
00:23:06.842 --> 00:23:09.911
Jesus is the only one who has those qualifications. he was born sinless.
00:23:09.978 --> 00:23:12.180
Has those qualifications. he was born sinless. all the other teachers
00:23:12.247 --> 00:23:13.582
He was born sinless. all the other teachers have sin and they admit
00:23:13.648 --> 00:23:15.450
All the other teachers have sin and they admit to their sinfulness
00:23:15.517 --> 00:23:16.885
Have sin and they admit to their sinfulness and their failures.
00:23:16.952 --> 00:23:18.386
To their sinfulness and their failures. jesus was absolutely perfect.
00:23:18.453 --> 00:23:20.455
And their failures. jesus was absolutely perfect. and the good news is when
00:23:20.522 --> 00:23:22.357
Jesus was absolutely perfect. and the good news is when we are falling into sin,
00:23:22.424 --> 00:23:24.125
And the good news is when we are falling into sin, so to speak, we need someone
00:23:24.192 --> 00:23:25.894
We are falling into sin, so to speak, we need someone who is not a part
00:23:25.961 --> 00:23:27.195
So to speak, we need someone who is not a part of our predicament.
00:23:27.262 --> 00:23:28.430
Who is not a part of our predicament. and jesus is not a part
00:23:28.497 --> 00:23:30.365
Of our predicament. and jesus is not a part of our predicament.
00:23:30.432 --> 00:23:31.900
And jesus is not a part of our predicament. he became one of us
00:23:31.967 --> 00:23:33.101
Of our predicament. he became one of us in the flesh, but
00:23:33.168 --> 00:23:34.636
He became one of us in the flesh, but absolutely sinless
00:23:34.703 --> 00:23:36.872
In the flesh, but absolutely sinless to take us to the father.
00:23:36.938 --> 00:23:39.474
Absolutely sinless to take us to the father. i want you to think about
00:23:39.541 --> 00:23:40.709
To take us to the father. i want you to think about the claims of jesus
00:23:40.775 --> 00:23:41.977
I want you to think about the claims of jesus that we hear so much about
00:23:42.043 --> 00:23:43.311
The claims of jesus that we hear so much about and we forget
00:23:43.378 --> 00:23:44.546
That we hear so much about and we forget how significant they are.
00:23:44.613 --> 00:23:46.515
And we forget how significant they are. lenin believed that
00:23:46.581 --> 00:23:47.749
How significant they are. lenin believed that if communism were to
00:23:47.816 --> 00:23:49.217
Lenin believed that if communism were to overtake russia there would
00:23:49.284 --> 00:23:50.852
If communism were to overtake russia there would be bread on every table.
00:23:50.919 --> 00:23:53.488
Overtake russia there would be bread on every table. but he never had the nerve
00:23:53.555 --> 00:23:54.890
Be bread on every table. but he never had the nerve to say, "i am the bread
00:23:54.956 --> 00:23:57.125
But he never had the nerve to say, "i am the bread of life.
00:23:57.192 --> 00:23:58.493
Shall never hunger.
00:23:59.828 --> 00:24:01.129
Shall never hunger. he who believes in me
00:24:01.196 --> 00:24:03.365
He who believes in me shall never thirst."
00:24:03.431 --> 00:24:05.467
Shall never thirst." freud actually believed
00:24:05.534 --> 00:24:07.068
Freud actually believed that psychotherapy
00:24:07.135 --> 00:24:08.336
With all their ailments.
00:24:09.638 --> 00:24:11.172
With all their ailments. we can debate whether
00:24:11.239 --> 00:24:12.374
With all their ailments. we can debate whether or not that came to pass
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:13.808
We can debate whether or not that came to pass but freud would have never
00:24:13.875 --> 00:24:15.944
Or not that came to pass but freud would have never had the nerve to say,
00:24:16.011 --> 00:24:17.946
But freud would have never had the nerve to say, "peace i leave with you.
00:24:18.013 --> 00:24:19.281
Had the nerve to say, "peace i leave with you. my peace i give unto you
00:24:19.347 --> 00:24:21.383
"peace i leave with you. my peace i give unto you not as the world gives
00:24:21.449 --> 00:24:22.784
My peace i give unto you not as the world gives give i unto you.
00:24:22.851 --> 00:24:24.452
Not as the world gives give i unto you. let not your heart
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:25.620
Give i unto you. let not your heart be troubled,
00:24:25.687 --> 00:24:26.855
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
00:24:26.922 --> 00:24:28.490
Be troubled, neither let it be afraid." imagine that,
00:24:28.557 --> 00:24:29.991
Neither let it be afraid." imagine that, "my peace i give to you."
00:24:30.058 --> 00:24:33.728
Imagine that, "my peace i give to you." one other example.
00:24:33.795 --> 00:24:35.030
"my peace i give to you." one other example. krishna believed,
00:24:35.096 --> 00:24:36.631
One other example. krishna believed, of course, in reincarnation.
00:24:36.698 --> 00:24:39.501
Krishna believed, of course, in reincarnation. but he never had the nerve
00:24:39.568 --> 00:24:40.969
Of course, in reincarnation. but he never had the nerve to say what jesus said,
00:24:41.036 --> 00:24:43.371
But he never had the nerve to say what jesus said, "i am the resurrection
00:24:43.438 --> 00:24:45.006
To say what jesus said, "i am the resurrection and the life.
00:24:45.073 --> 00:24:46.608
"i am the resurrection and the life. he who believes in me,
00:24:46.675 --> 00:24:47.809
And the life. he who believes in me, though he were dead,
00:24:47.876 --> 00:24:49.110
He who believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
00:24:49.177 --> 00:24:50.612
Though he were dead, yet shall he live. and whosoever lives
00:24:50.679 --> 00:24:51.846
Yet shall he live. and whosoever lives and believes in me
00:24:51.913 --> 00:24:53.415
And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die."
00:24:53.481 --> 00:24:55.917
And believes in me shall never die." you say, well, pastor lutzer,
00:24:55.984 --> 00:24:57.319
Shall never die." you say, well, pastor lutzer, i have some doubts about
00:24:57.385 --> 00:24:58.987
You say, well, pastor lutzer, i have some doubts about the christian faith.
00:24:59.054 --> 00:25:00.555
I have some doubts about the christian faith. i even have some doubts

The christian faith. i even have some doubts about jesus.
00:25:01.856 --> 00:25:03.391
I even have some doubts about jesus. would you come to him

He can handle them. there is a song i like and one of the stanzas
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:13.568
There is a song i like and one of the stanzas says these words,
00:25:13.635 --> 00:25:15.971
And one of the stanzas says these words, "just as i am
00:25:16.037 --> 00:25:17.372
Says these words, "just as i am though tossed about
00:25:17.439 --> 00:25:18.974
"just as i am though tossed about with many a conflict,
00:25:19.040 --> 00:25:20.308
Though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt,
00:25:20.375 --> 00:25:21.943
With many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings within
00:25:22.010 --> 00:25:23.712
Many a doubt, fightings within and fears without.
00:25:23.778 --> 00:25:26.414
Fightings within and fears without. o lamb of god,

And fears without. o lamb of god, i come, i come!"
00:25:28.183 --> 00:25:31.486
O lamb of god, i come, i come!" no wonder jesus said,
00:25:31.553 --> 00:25:33.021
I come, i come!" no wonder jesus said, "no man comes to the father
00:25:33.088 --> 00:25:35.323
No wonder jesus said, "no man comes to the father but by me."
00:25:35.390 --> 00:25:37.325
