In the next kingdom because the enemy is gone. so if we're going
00:08:43.479 --> 00:08:44.714
Because the enemy is gone. so if we're going to be overcomers,
00:08:44.780 --> 00:08:45.948
So if we're going to be overcomers, and everything he was saying

We're going to be more than conquerors. we are to walk over
00:08:57.593 --> 00:08:58.794
More than conquerors. we are to walk over the enemy like dust.
00:08:58.861 --> 00:09:00.930

This is why we're here. but you can't live in that kind of victory.
00:09:04.066 --> 00:09:05.101
But you can't live in that kind of victory. you can't put on armor
00:09:05.167 --> 00:09:06.435
In that kind of victory. you can't put on armor to go to war
00:09:06.502 --> 00:09:07.737
You can't put on armor to go to war if there's no enemy.
00:09:07.803 --> 00:09:09.572
To go to war if there's no enemy. we are suited up

Spiritual armor, and we can overcome the division
00:09:15.277 --> 00:09:16.579
And we can overcome the division that the enemy puts on us
00:09:16.646 --> 00:09:17.813
The division that the enemy puts on us and the defeat.
00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:19.015

00:09:34.430 --> 00:09:36.265
To what matters to everybody that knows what matters, and knows that god
00:09:36.332 --> 00:09:37.667
That knows what matters, and knows that god is the one that establishes
00:09:37.733 --> 00:09:39.635
And knows that god is the one that establishes the principles
00:09:39.702 --> 00:09:40.903
Is the one that establishes the principles and the foundational truth
00:09:40.970 --> 00:09:42.238
The principles and the foundational truth upon which we build our lives
00:09:42.304 --> 00:09:44.440

Our sports teams -- everything has to be built on that principle
00:09:50.713 --> 00:09:52.481
Everything has to be built on that principle for families to live on

On that principle for families to live on and live by.

And i marched into hell all over the world in the wars.
00:13:38.474 --> 00:13:39.675
All over the world in the wars. i saw where the poor lived.
00:13:39.742 --> 00:13:42.344
In the wars. i saw where the poor lived. i saw how they lived.

Around them. the missionaries moved me because they moved
00:13:55.591 --> 00:13:56.892
The missionaries moved me because they moved their whole family
00:13:56.959 --> 00:13:58.060
Because they moved their whole family into the middle of hell
00:13:58.127 --> 00:13:59.495
Their whole family into the middle of hell to put their arms
00:13:59.561 --> 00:14:01.030
Into the middle of hell to put their arms around the least of these.
00:14:01.096 --> 00:14:02.531
To put their arms around the least of these. i said, "i'm going

Precious girls and children, and what you've seen god do

Every day they're in fear.
00:19:09.104 --> 00:19:10.272
And they're lonely.
00:19:10.339 --> 00:19:11.473
They don't know
00:19:11.540 --> 00:19:12.641

Be restored to you. "in addition to," he says, "eternal life."
00:24:02.898 --> 00:24:04.499
"in addition to," he says, "eternal life." now most people think
00:24:04.566 --> 00:24:05.967
"eternal life." now most people think that whatever the next
00:24:06.034 --> 00:24:07.269
Now most people think that whatever the next chapter of the story is
00:24:07.335 --> 00:24:08.470
That whatever the next chapter of the story is it's this vague thing
00:24:08.537 --> 00:24:10.906
Chapter of the story is it's this vague thing in heaven.
00:24:10.972 --> 00:24:12.107
It's this vague thing in heaven. it is harps, halos or it is
00:24:12.173 --> 00:24:13.608
In heaven. it is harps, halos or it is the eternal church service
00:24:13.675 --> 00:24:15.010
It is harps, halos or it is the eternal church service in the sky.
00:24:15.076 --> 00:24:16.244
The eternal church service in the sky. we all just go up to heaven
00:24:16.311 --> 00:24:17.846
In the sky. we all just go up to heaven and we sing forever.
00:24:17.913 --> 00:24:19.981
We all just go up to heaven and we sing forever. james: but like you point out,
00:24:20.048 --> 00:24:21.583
And we sing forever. james: but like you point out, if it is like church services,
00:24:21.650 --> 00:24:22.817
James: but like you point out, if it is like church services, most people
00:24:22.884 --> 00:24:23.985
If it is like church services, most people they don't want to go.
00:24:24.052 --> 00:24:25.220
Most people they don't want to go. [laughter]
00:24:25.287 --> 00:24:26.488
They don't want to go. [laughter] john: but the key
00:24:26.555 --> 00:24:27.789
[laughter] john: but the key to the human heart is this,
00:24:27.856 --> 00:24:29.124
John: but the key to the human heart is this, c.s. lewis says,
00:24:29.190 --> 00:24:30.358
To the human heart is this, c.s. lewis says, "you can only hope
00:24:30.425 --> 00:24:31.493
C.s. lewis says, "you can only hope for what you desire."
00:24:31.560 --> 00:24:32.661
"you can only hope for what you desire." and so if it is vague,
00:24:32.727 --> 00:24:33.795
For what you desire." and so if it is vague, if it is a little
00:24:33.862 --> 00:24:34.930
And so if it is vague, if it is a little creepy religious,
00:24:34.996 --> 00:24:36.131
If it is a little creepy religious, it does not bring hope
00:24:36.197 --> 00:24:37.265
Creepy religious, it does not bring hope no matter how much you try
00:24:37.332 --> 00:24:38.433
It does not bring hope no matter how much you try to breathe into it.
00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:39.501
No matter how much you try to breathe into it. jesus promises
00:24:39.568 --> 00:24:40.669
To breathe into it. jesus promises the restoration of all things.
00:24:40.735 --> 00:24:44.339
Jesus promises the restoration of all things. so i'm flipping through
00:24:44.406 --> 00:24:45.740
The restoration of all things. so i'm flipping through the scriptures.
00:24:45.807 --> 00:24:46.975
So i'm flipping through the scriptures. peter picks up the theme
00:24:47.042 --> 00:24:48.076
The scriptures. peter picks up the theme in acts.
00:24:48.143 --> 00:24:49.411
Peter picks up the theme in acts. in acts, chapter 3 he says,
00:24:49.477 --> 00:24:50.445
In acts. in acts, chapter 3 he says, "jesus must remain in heaven
00:24:50.512 --> 00:24:52.614
In acts, chapter 3 he says, "jesus must remain in heaven until the time comes for god
00:24:52.681 --> 00:24:56.251
"jesus must remain in heaven until the time comes for god to restore everything."
00:24:56.318 --> 00:24:58.787
Until the time comes for god to restore everything." and then the whole thing
00:24:58.853 --> 00:25:00.355
To restore everything." and then the whole thing swells to a crescendo
00:25:00.422 --> 00:25:01.690
And then the whole thing swells to a crescendo in revelation,
00:25:01.756 --> 00:25:02.891
Swells to a crescendo in revelation, end of the book,
00:25:02.958 --> 00:25:04.159
In revelation, end of the book, chapter 21: he who is
00:25:04.225 --> 00:25:05.327
End of the book, chapter 21: he who is seated on the throne says,
00:25:05.393 --> 00:25:06.628
Chapter 21: he who is seated on the throne says, "i am making everything new."
00:25:06.695 --> 00:25:11.232
Seated on the throne says, "i am making everything new." he does not say,
00:25:11.299 --> 00:25:12.567
"i am making everything new." he does not say, "i'm making all new things."
00:25:12.634 --> 00:25:15.570
He does not say, "i'm making all new things." he restores the earth.
00:25:15.637 --> 00:25:18.239
"i'm making all new things." he restores the earth. he restores our lives.
00:25:18.306 --> 00:25:20.542
He restores the earth. he restores our lives. there is nothing
00:25:20.609 --> 00:25:22.444
He restores our lives. there is nothing that can be taken from you
00:25:22.510 --> 00:25:24.779
There is nothing that can be taken from you that god will not personally
00:25:24.846 --> 00:25:27.382
That can be taken from you that god will not personally and intimately restore.
00:25:27.449 --> 00:25:30.518
That god will not personally and intimately restore. and this is the hope
00:25:30.585 --> 00:25:33.555
And intimately restore. and this is the hope that hebrews calls
00:25:33.622 --> 00:25:35.123
And this is the hope that hebrews calls "the anchor of the soul."
00:25:35.190 --> 00:25:36.324
That hebrews calls "the anchor of the soul." this is the hope
00:25:36.391 --> 00:25:37.792
"the anchor of the soul." this is the hope of the christian life that --
00:25:37.859 --> 00:25:39.427
This is the hope of the christian life that -- it was what the early church
00:25:39.494 --> 00:25:41.196
Of the christian life that -- it was what the early church -- they couldn't understand
00:25:41.262 --> 00:25:42.831
It was what the early church -- they couldn't understand the courage
00:25:42.897 --> 00:25:44.299
-- they couldn't understand the courage of the early church.
00:25:44.366 --> 00:25:45.567
The courage of the early church. and they said,
00:25:45.634 --> 00:25:46.801
Of the early church. and they said, "what are you going to do?
00:25:46.868 --> 00:25:47.836
And they said, "what are you going to do? kill us?
00:25:47.902 --> 00:25:49.070
"what are you going to do? kill us? like we don't die.
00:25:49.137 --> 00:25:50.138
Kill us? like we don't die. you can't --
00:25:50.205 --> 00:25:51.272
Like we don't die. you can't -- there is nothing
00:25:51.339 --> 00:25:52.574
You can't -- there is nothing you can take away from me
00:25:52.641 --> 00:25:53.775
There is nothing you can take away from me that god is not going
00:25:53.842 --> 00:25:55.210
You can take away from me that god is not going to restore, so have at it."
00:25:55.276 --> 00:25:56.645
That god is not going to restore, so have at it." it threw the world because
00:25:56.711 --> 00:25:58.346
To restore, so have at it." it threw the world because these people had a grasp
00:25:58.413 --> 00:25:59.614
It threw the world because these people had a grasp on the coming kingdom.
