Than robert jeffress at first baptist church dallas. and i agree.

He started listening to me when he was a boy. i don't know if he had

When he was a boy. i don't know if he had reached his teens yet.
00:01:54.604 --> 00:01:55.805
I don't know if he had reached his teens yet. but somehow we connected
00:01:55.872 --> 00:01:57.240
Reached his teens yet. but somehow we connected back then, and he didn't
00:01:57.307 --> 00:01:58.408
But somehow we connected back then, and he didn't dislike me.
00:01:58.474 --> 00:01:59.809
Back then, and he didn't dislike me. but then we began to see

And sometimes, the people we have to talk to, you talk to at great risk.
00:02:15.291 --> 00:02:16.726
We have to talk to, you talk to at great risk. but we risk it
00:02:16.793 --> 00:02:17.860
You talk to at great risk. but we risk it because you're worth it.

And he gave his life to die for you. dr. jeffress, i'm glad
00:02:21.898 --> 00:02:22.999
To die for you. dr. jeffress, i'm glad you're here.
00:02:23.066 --> 00:02:24.067
Dr. jeffress, i'm glad you're here. let me just put it
00:02:24.133 --> 00:02:25.134
You're here. let me just put it in simple terms.
00:02:25.201 --> 00:02:26.202
Let me just put it in simple terms. if we could get the body
00:02:26.269 --> 00:02:27.704
In simple terms. if we could get the body of christ to look like him
00:02:27.770 --> 00:02:28.805
If we could get the body of christ to look like him and behave like him,
00:02:28.871 --> 00:02:29.973
Of christ to look like him and behave like him, and the family of god
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:31.507
And behave like him, and the family of god to behave like the father,
00:02:31.574 --> 00:02:32.875
And the family of god to behave like the father, we could put the loving arms
00:02:32.942 --> 00:02:34.143
To behave like the father, we could put the loving arms of god around the world
00:02:34.210 --> 00:02:36.312
We could put the loving arms of god around the world jesus died to redeem.
00:02:36.379 --> 00:02:37.914
Robert: well, it does
00:02:39.215 --> 00:02:40.216
Robert: well, it does because jesus said that.
00:02:40.283 --> 00:02:41.284
Because jesus said that. he said by this
00:02:41.351 --> 00:02:42.452
He said by this people shall know
00:02:42.518 --> 00:02:44.187
People shall know you're my disciples.
00:02:44.254 --> 00:02:45.622
You're my disciples. not by your theology,
00:02:45.688 --> 00:02:47.056
By your love one for another.
00:02:48.558 --> 00:02:50.660
By your love one for another. that doesn't mean we have
00:02:50.727 --> 00:02:51.828
By your love one for another. that doesn't mean we have to compromise on the truth
00:02:51.894 --> 00:02:53.463
That doesn't mean we have to compromise on the truth but what unites us
00:02:53.529 --> 00:02:55.365
To compromise on the truth but what unites us is so much more than what
00:02:55.431 --> 00:02:56.666
But what unites us is so much more than what separates us as christians.
00:02:56.733 --> 00:02:58.701
Is so much more than what separates us as christians. it is time now for christians
00:02:58.768 --> 00:02:59.936
Separates us as christians. it is time now for christians to come together.
00:03:00.003 --> 00:03:01.070
It is time now for christians to come together. james: well, you know
00:03:01.137 --> 00:03:02.138
To come together. james: well, you know you and i have stood with
00:03:02.205 --> 00:03:04.240
James: well, you know you and i have stood with some of the most difficult
00:03:04.307 --> 00:03:05.241
You and i have stood with some of the most difficult people to adjust.
00:03:05.308 --> 00:03:07.310
Some of the most difficult people to adjust. and we have risked a lot
00:03:07.377 --> 00:03:08.511
People to adjust. and we have risked a lot sometimes to stand
00:03:08.578 --> 00:03:09.779
And we have risked a lot sometimes to stand and share truth in love,
00:03:09.846 --> 00:03:11.948
Sometimes to stand and share truth in love, never wavering,
00:03:12.015 --> 00:03:13.182
And share truth in love, never wavering, god's principles, when it was
00:03:13.249 --> 00:03:15.051
Never wavering, god's principles, when it was a risk to even be known
00:03:15.118 --> 00:03:17.353
God's principles, when it was a risk to even be known that you're speaking
00:03:17.420 --> 00:03:18.688
A risk to even be known that you're speaking to these people.
00:03:18.755 --> 00:03:19.922
That you're speaking to these people. look at all the people
00:03:19.989 --> 00:03:20.923
To these people. look at all the people jesus spoke to.
00:03:20.990 --> 00:03:22.091
Look at all the people jesus spoke to. look at all the people
00:03:22.158 --> 00:03:23.192
Jesus spoke to. look at all the people the prophets spoke to.
00:03:23.259 --> 00:03:24.394
Look at all the people the prophets spoke to. and you and i are doing it
00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:26.362
The prophets spoke to. and you and i are doing it and there are people
00:03:26.429 --> 00:03:27.363
And you and i are doing it and there are people who go to churches who are
00:03:27.430 --> 00:03:29.065
And there are people who go to churches who are fussing at us about it.
00:03:29.132 --> 00:03:30.400
Who go to churches who are fussing at us about it. robert: yeah, the most
00:03:30.466 --> 00:03:31.467
Fussing at us about it. robert: yeah, the most vicious attacks have come
00:03:31.534 --> 00:03:32.535
Robert: yeah, the most vicious attacks have come not from unbelievers
00:03:32.602 --> 00:03:33.670
Vicious attacks have come not from unbelievers but from christians
00:03:33.736 --> 00:03:35.538
Not from unbelievers but from christians who criticize the
00:03:35.605 --> 00:03:36.773
But from christians who criticize the h-e-double-hockey-stick
00:03:36.839 --> 00:03:38.107
Who criticize the h-e-double-hockey-stick out of us for sharing
00:03:38.174 --> 00:03:40.610
H-e-double-hockey-stick out of us for sharing the good news of jesus christ.
00:03:40.677 --> 00:03:42.578
Out of us for sharing the good news of jesus christ. i don't get it.
00:03:42.645 --> 00:03:43.880
The good news of jesus christ. i don't get it. betty: you've written
00:03:43.946 --> 00:03:45.782
I don't get it. betty: you've written at least 30 books,
00:03:45.848 --> 00:03:47.583
Betty: you've written at least 30 books, maybe more than that.
00:03:47.650 --> 00:03:49.352
At least 30 books, maybe more than that. why did you decide to write
00:03:49.419 --> 00:03:50.520
Maybe more than that. why did you decide to write about the ten commandments?
00:03:50.586 --> 00:03:52.255
Why did you decide to write about the ten commandments? robert: the ten is about
00:03:52.322 --> 00:03:53.489
About the ten commandments? robert: the ten is about the ten commandments.
00:03:53.556 --> 00:03:54.524
Robert: the ten is about the ten commandments. it is a fresh look
00:03:54.590 --> 00:03:55.692
The ten commandments. it is a fresh look at these commandments.
00:03:55.758 --> 00:03:57.293
It is a fresh look at these commandments. but, betty, the subtitle
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:58.561
At these commandments. but, betty, the subtitle of the book explains
00:03:58.628 --> 00:03:59.762
But, betty, the subtitle of the book explains the reason why people would
00:03:59.829 --> 00:04:00.830
Of the book explains the reason why people would be interested in it.
00:04:00.897 --> 00:04:01.931
The reason why people would be interested in it. the subtitle is:
00:04:01.998 --> 00:04:03.066
Be interested in it. the subtitle is: "how to live and love
00:04:03.132 --> 00:04:05.068
The subtitle is: "how to live and love in a world that has
00:04:05.134 --> 00:04:06.102
"how to live and love in a world that has lost its way."
00:04:06.169 --> 00:04:07.837
In a world that has lost its way." i don't think it takes any
00:04:07.904 --> 00:04:09.172
Lost its way." i don't think it takes any convincing to your audience
00:04:09.238 --> 00:04:10.573
I don't think it takes any convincing to your audience to say the world
00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:11.607
Convincing to your audience to say the world has lost its way.
00:04:11.674 --> 00:04:13.109
To say the world has lost its way. i mean the moral,
00:04:13.176 --> 00:04:14.310
Has lost its way. i mean the moral, the spiritual,
00:04:14.377 --> 00:04:15.712
I mean the moral, the spiritual, the political chaos we're in
00:04:15.778 --> 00:04:17.947
The spiritual, the political chaos we're in all comes down to one reason,
00:04:18.014 --> 00:04:20.450
The political chaos we're in all comes down to one reason, we have forgotten god.
00:04:20.516 --> 00:04:22.352
All comes down to one reason, we have forgotten god. we have said we know better
00:04:22.418 --> 00:04:24.287
We have forgotten god. we have said we know better than god knows.
00:04:24.354 --> 00:04:26.222
We have said we know better than god knows. and that is evident
00:04:26.289 --> 00:04:27.490
Than god knows. and that is evident in the fact that 60 percent
00:04:27.557 --> 00:04:28.791
And that is evident in the fact that 60 percent of americans can't even
00:04:28.858 --> 00:04:29.926
In the fact that 60 percent of americans can't even name five of
00:04:29.992 --> 00:04:31.127
Of americans can't even name five of the ten commandments.
00:04:31.194 --> 00:04:32.395
Name five of the ten commandments. people don't know
00:04:32.462 --> 00:04:33.663
The ten commandments. people don't know god's commands and those
00:04:33.730 --> 00:04:35.665
People don't know god's commands and those who do know the commands
00:04:35.732 --> 00:04:37.300
God's commands and those who do know the commands have no idea how to apply them
00:04:37.367 --> 00:04:38.968
Who do know the commands have no idea how to apply them in today's world.
00:04:39.035 --> 00:04:40.336
Have no idea how to apply them in today's world. so this is a fresh way
00:04:40.403 --> 00:04:41.571
In today's world. so this is a fresh way of looking at the basics
00:04:41.637 --> 00:04:43.539
So this is a fresh way of looking at the basics upon which our nation,
00:04:43.606 --> 00:04:44.774
Of looking at the basics upon which our nation, our world,
00:04:44.841 --> 00:04:45.842
Upon which our nation, our world, and god's word stands.
00:04:45.908 --> 00:04:46.909
Our world, and god's word stands. and those are
00:04:46.976 --> 00:04:48.010
And god's word stands. and those are the ten commandments.
00:04:48.077 --> 00:04:49.212
And those are the ten commandments. james: all right, i think
00:04:49.278 --> 00:04:50.480
Everybody that understands
00:04:52.715 --> 00:04:54.117
Everybody that understands the basic principles
00:04:54.183 --> 00:04:55.451
The basic principles of his word, and how love
00:04:55.518 --> 00:04:57.620
Of his word, and how love and truth affect people
00:04:57.687 --> 00:04:59.689
When you look out at
00:05:02.191 --> 00:05:03.259
When you look out at what you see in the news,
00:05:03.326 --> 00:05:04.761
When you look out at what you see in the news, there is no justice anymore.
00:05:04.827 --> 00:05:06.996
What you see in the news, there is no justice anymore. and it is because
00:05:07.063 --> 00:05:08.498
There is no justice anymore. and it is because we've put god
00:05:08.564 --> 00:05:09.999
And it is because we've put god and his commandments,
00:05:10.066 --> 00:05:11.267
We've put god and his commandments, his wise guidance,
00:05:11.334 --> 00:05:12.869
And his commandments, his wise guidance, we've cast them behind us.
00:05:12.935 --> 00:05:14.237
His wise guidance, we've cast them behind us. we've done what romans one
00:05:14.303 --> 00:05:15.972
We've cast them behind us. we've done what romans one says, we have changed
00:05:16.038 --> 00:05:17.540
We've done what romans one says, we have changed the truth, it isn't a matter
00:05:17.607 --> 00:05:18.941
Says, we have changed the truth, it isn't a matter of just resisting it
00:05:19.008 --> 00:05:20.109
The truth, it isn't a matter of just resisting it or even denying it
00:05:20.176 --> 00:05:21.177
Of just resisting it or even denying it or disobeying it,
00:05:21.244 --> 00:05:22.412
Or even denying it or disobeying it, we have changed it into a lie.
00:05:22.478 --> 00:05:24.247
Or disobeying it, we have changed it into a lie. that should concern
00:05:24.313 --> 00:05:25.515
We have changed it into a lie. that should concern all of us.
00:05:25.581 --> 00:05:26.582
That should concern all of us. robert: it should.
00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:27.650
All of us. robert: it should. i don't believe there is
00:05:27.717 --> 00:05:28.751
Robert: it should. i don't believe there is any doubt that this nation
00:05:28.818 --> 00:05:30.052
I don't believe there is any doubt that this nation was founded as
00:05:30.119 --> 00:05:31.220
Any doubt that this nation was founded as a christian nation.
00:05:31.287 --> 00:05:32.388
Was founded as a christian nation. not everybody in america
00:05:32.455 --> 00:05:33.489
A christian nation. not everybody in america was a christian but
00:05:33.556 --> 00:05:34.791
Not everybody in america was a christian but they generally accepted
00:05:34.857 --> 00:05:35.958
Was a christian but they generally accepted the christian foundation.
00:05:36.025 --> 00:05:37.727
They generally accepted the christian foundation. but what happened is,
00:05:37.794 --> 00:05:39.562
The christian foundation. but what happened is, people as time went on,
00:05:39.629 --> 00:05:41.330
But what happened is, people as time went on, fewer and fewer americans
00:05:41.397 --> 00:05:42.932
People as time went on, fewer and fewer americans embraced christianity.
00:05:42.999 --> 00:05:44.967
The 1960s and people said
00:05:46.202 --> 00:05:49.071
The 1960s and people said maybe we can be good
00:05:49.138 --> 00:05:50.473
Maybe we can be good without god.
00:05:50.540 --> 00:05:51.674
Without god. we don't need god
00:05:51.741 --> 00:05:52.742
We don't need god to be good.
00:05:52.809 --> 00:05:54.010
To be good. and so there started
00:05:54.076 --> 00:05:55.077
And so there started this assault on christianity,
00:05:55.144 --> 00:05:56.279
This assault on christianity, public displays
00:05:56.345 --> 00:05:57.280
Prayer, and bible in schools,
00:05:58.581 --> 00:06:01.384
Prayer, and bible in schools, 1962 eliminated
00:06:01.451 --> 00:06:02.752
Prayer, and bible in schools, 1962 eliminated bible reading,
00:06:02.819 --> 00:06:03.986
1962 eliminated bible reading, 1963, and then it culminated
00:06:04.053 --> 00:06:06.122
Bible reading, 1963, and then it culminated in 1980 when the supreme court
00:06:06.189 --> 00:06:08.291
1963, and then it culminated in 1980 when the supreme court said it was unconstitutional
00:06:08.357 --> 00:06:10.526
In 1980 when the supreme court said it was unconstitutional in stone versus graham
00:06:10.593 --> 00:06:11.994
Said it was unconstitutional in stone versus graham to display
00:06:12.061 --> 00:06:13.062
In stone versus graham to display the ten commandments
00:06:13.129 --> 00:06:14.197
To display the ten commandments in the halls
00:06:14.263 --> 00:06:15.465
The ten commandments in the halls of kentucky schools.
00:06:15.531 --> 00:06:17.066
In the halls of kentucky schools. and the reason,
00:06:17.133 --> 00:06:18.134
Of kentucky schools. and the reason, james and betty --
00:06:18.201 --> 00:06:19.202
And the reason, james and betty -- james: by the way,
00:06:19.268 --> 00:06:20.570
James and betty -- james: by the way, let's throw one in.
00:06:20.636 --> 00:06:21.771
James: by the way, let's throw one in. they had also disregarded
00:06:21.838 --> 00:06:22.839
Let's throw one in. they had also disregarded the value of innocent life
00:06:22.905 --> 00:06:23.906
They had also disregarded the value of innocent life in the womb.
00:06:23.973 --> 00:06:24.974
The value of innocent life in the womb. robert: right! in 1973.
00:06:25.041 --> 00:06:26.542
In the womb. robert: right! in 1973. but when they got to
00:06:26.609 --> 00:06:27.610
Robert: right! in 1973. but when they got to the ten commandments,
00:06:27.677 --> 00:06:28.678
But when they got to the ten commandments, this was the heart of it,
00:06:28.744 --> 00:06:29.745
The ten commandments, this was the heart of it, and their reasoning
00:06:29.812 --> 00:06:30.813
This was the heart of it, and their reasoning was unbelievable.
00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:32.081
And their reasoning was unbelievable. the supreme court said,
00:06:32.148 --> 00:06:33.349
Was unbelievable. the supreme court said, that if posted copies
00:06:33.416 --> 00:06:34.617
The supreme court said, that if posted copies of the ten commandments
00:06:34.684 --> 00:06:35.952
That if posted copies of the ten commandments are displayed it might
00:06:36.018 --> 00:06:37.620
Of the ten commandments are displayed it might motivate students to read,
00:06:37.687 --> 00:06:40.022
Are displayed it might motivate students to read, venerate, and even obey
00:06:40.089 --> 00:06:41.924
Motivate students to read, venerate, and even obey the commandments and this
00:06:41.991 --> 00:06:43.025
Venerate, and even obey the commandments and this is not acceptable under
00:06:43.092 --> 00:06:44.427
The commandments and this is not acceptable under the establishment clause.
00:06:44.494 --> 00:06:46.596
Is not acceptable under the establishment clause. i mean, it is just
00:06:46.662 --> 00:06:47.697
The establishment clause. i mean, it is just unbelievable.
00:06:47.763 --> 00:06:48.898
I mean, it is just unbelievable. we can't post these
00:06:48.965 --> 00:06:50.166
Unbelievable. we can't post these because kids might read them.
00:06:50.233 --> 00:06:51.434
We can't post these because kids might read them. that was 1980.
00:06:51.501 --> 00:06:52.902
Because kids might read them. that was 1980. seventeen years later,
00:06:52.969 --> 00:06:55.238
That was 1980. seventeen years later, at heath high school
00:06:55.304 --> 00:06:56.606
Seventeen years later, at heath high school in paducah, kentucky
00:06:56.672 --> 00:06:58.341
At heath high school in paducah, kentucky a 14-year-old boy
00:06:58.407 --> 00:07:00.209
In paducah, kentucky a 14-year-old boy got a handgun.
00:07:00.276 --> 00:07:01.878
A 14-year-old boy got a handgun. and while students
00:07:01.944 --> 00:07:03.145
Got a handgun. and while students were praying before school
00:07:03.212 --> 00:07:04.447
And while students were praying before school in a prayer meeting,
00:07:04.514 --> 00:07:05.615
Were praying before school in a prayer meeting, he walked up, opened fire,
00:07:05.681 --> 00:07:06.916
In a prayer meeting, he walked up, opened fire, killed three, and seriously
00:07:06.983 --> 00:07:08.618
He walked up, opened fire, killed three, and seriously injured two, all happening
00:07:08.684 --> 00:07:10.853
Killed three, and seriously injured two, all happening in a kentucky school
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.121
Injured two, all happening in a kentucky school where 17 years earlier
00:07:12.188 --> 00:07:13.956
In a kentucky school where 17 years earlier the highest court in the land
00:07:14.023 --> 00:07:15.324
Where 17 years earlier the highest court in the land said you cannot
00:07:15.391 --> 00:07:16.726
The highest court in the land said you cannot post the words
00:07:16.792 --> 00:07:17.994
Said you cannot post the words "thou shalt not kill."
00:07:18.060 --> 00:07:20.596
Post the words "thou shalt not kill." now that is why we're in
00:07:20.663 --> 00:07:22.465
"thou shalt not kill." now that is why we're in the condition we're in
00:07:22.532 --> 00:07:23.566
Betty: i remember, i was
00:07:24.967 --> 00:07:26.035
Betty: i remember, i was a senior in high school
00:07:26.102 --> 00:07:27.136
A senior in high school in 1962.
00:07:27.203 --> 00:07:28.571
In 1962. i was in homeroom class
00:07:28.638 --> 00:07:30.506
I was in homeroom class and the principal came
00:07:30.573 --> 00:07:31.641
And the principal came over the speaker and
00:07:31.707 --> 00:07:32.775
On taking prayer
00:07:34.777 --> 00:07:35.945
On taking prayer out of the schools.
00:07:36.012 --> 00:07:37.480
On taking prayer out of the schools. my heart sank.
00:07:37.547 --> 00:07:38.881
Out of the schools. my heart sank. here i was a senior
00:07:38.948 --> 00:07:40.049
My heart sank. here i was a senior in high school.
00:07:40.116 --> 00:07:41.250
Here i was a senior in high school. i had always counted on that.
00:07:41.317 --> 00:07:42.451
In high school. i had always counted on that. i grew up thinking
00:07:42.518 --> 00:07:43.619
I had always counted on that. i grew up thinking that prayer was important
00:07:43.686 --> 00:07:45.021
I grew up thinking that prayer was important to our lives.
00:07:45.087 --> 00:07:46.756
That prayer was important to our lives. and for them to announce
00:07:46.822 --> 00:07:48.224
To our lives. and for them to announce that the next fall
00:07:48.291 --> 00:07:50.159
And for them to announce that the next fall there would be no prayer
00:07:50.226 --> 00:07:51.460
That the next fall there would be no prayer in the schools.
00:07:51.527 --> 00:07:52.628
There would be no prayer in the schools. robert: you know what
00:07:52.695 --> 00:07:53.896
In the schools. robert: you know what is just astounding?
00:07:53.963 --> 00:07:55.164
Robert: you know what is just astounding? after that ruling in 1963,
00:07:55.231 --> 00:07:56.465
Is just astounding? after that ruling in 1963, another one came down
00:07:56.532 --> 00:07:58.267
After that ruling in 1963, another one came down and it was about a prayer
00:07:58.334 --> 00:07:59.468
Another one came down and it was about a prayer that didn't even use
00:07:59.535 --> 00:08:00.536
And it was about a prayer that didn't even use the word god in it
00:08:00.603 --> 00:08:01.871
That didn't even use the word god in it that students would recite.
00:08:01.938 --> 00:08:03.105
The word god in it that students would recite. "we thank you, god
00:08:03.172 --> 00:08:04.140
That students would recite. "we thank you, god for the bird so sweet.
00:08:04.206 --> 00:08:05.641
"we thank you, god for the bird so sweet. we thank you for
00:08:05.708 --> 00:08:06.742
For the bird so sweet. we thank you for the food we eat.
00:08:06.809 --> 00:08:07.810
We thank you for the food we eat. we thank you for everything."
00:08:07.877 --> 00:08:09.245
The food we eat. we thank you for everything." the court said you can't
00:08:09.312 --> 00:08:10.479
We thank you for everything." the court said you can't say that because even though
00:08:10.546 --> 00:08:11.747
The court said you can't say that because even though it doesn't mention god,
00:08:11.814 --> 00:08:13.449
Say that because even though it doesn't mention god, it might cause students
00:08:13.516 --> 00:08:14.517
It doesn't mention god, it might cause students to think about god and
00:08:14.584 --> 00:08:15.851
It might cause students to think about god and that's unconstitutional.
00:08:15.918 --> 00:08:17.420
To think about god and that's unconstitutional. now that's
00:08:17.486 --> 00:08:18.521
That's unconstitutional. now that's the foolishness of man.
00:08:18.588 --> 00:08:19.755
Now that's the foolishness of man. james: okay, let's just
00:08:19.822 --> 00:08:20.890
If god said we're to pray,
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.962
If god said we're to pray, "thy kingdom come,
00:08:26.028 --> 00:08:27.964
"thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth
00:08:28.030 --> 00:08:29.065
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,"
00:08:29.131 --> 00:08:30.900
Supposed to be a sentence
00:08:32.101 --> 00:08:33.970
Supposed to be a sentence that's wishful thinking.
00:08:34.036 --> 00:08:35.738
Supposed to be a sentence that's wishful thinking. that asking kingdom come
00:08:35.805 --> 00:08:38.307
That's wishful thinking. that asking kingdom come and his will being done
00:08:38.374 --> 00:08:40.142
That asking kingdom come and his will being done is something that
00:08:40.209 --> 00:08:41.410
And his will being done is something that could happen.
00:08:41.477 --> 00:08:42.612
Is something that could happen. his kingdom did come.
00:08:42.678 --> 00:08:44.013
Could happen. his kingdom did come. a lot of the old testament
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:45.147
His kingdom did come. a lot of the old testament didn't seem to understand
00:08:45.214 --> 00:08:46.248
A lot of the old testament didn't seem to understand the kingdom he was
00:08:46.315 --> 00:08:47.316
Didn't seem to understand the kingdom he was talking about.
00:08:47.383 --> 00:08:48.384
The kingdom he was talking about. they still haven't
00:08:48.451 --> 00:08:49.619
Talking about. they still haven't understood the first kingdom.
00:08:49.685 --> 00:08:51.120
They still haven't understood the first kingdom. the disciples had
00:08:51.187 --> 00:08:52.588
Understood the first kingdom. the disciples had a hard time with it.
00:08:52.655 --> 00:08:53.856
The disciples had a hard time with it. but when he said
00:08:53.923 --> 00:08:55.057
A hard time with it. but when he said the king is here, he is.
00:08:55.124 --> 00:08:56.759
But when he said the king is here, he is. and then the king himself
00:08:56.826 --> 00:08:58.027
The king is here, he is. and then the king himself said, "the kingdom
00:08:58.094 --> 00:08:59.061
And then the king himself said, "the kingdom is in you."
00:08:59.128 --> 00:09:00.196
Said, "the kingdom is in you." and then he came back later
00:09:00.262 --> 00:09:01.297
Is in you." and then he came back later and said, "the kingdom
00:09:01.364 --> 00:09:02.431
And then he came back later and said, "the kingdom is in you
00:09:02.498 --> 00:09:03.466
But after the resurrection,
00:09:04.634 --> 00:09:05.601
But after the resurrection, he came back and explained it
00:09:05.668 --> 00:09:06.669
He came back and explained it to them a little bit more.
00:09:06.736 --> 00:09:07.737
To them a little bit more. they didn't explain it
00:09:07.803 --> 00:09:08.804
They didn't explain it but in the upper room
00:09:08.871 --> 00:09:09.872
But in the upper room they experienced it,
00:09:09.939 --> 00:09:11.007
They experienced it, and in the whole book of acts
00:09:11.073 --> 00:09:12.074
And in the whole book of acts they expressed it.
00:09:12.141 --> 00:09:13.075
Did the expression of
00:09:14.443 --> 00:09:15.478
Did the expression of the kingdom through
00:09:15.544 --> 00:09:16.712
Did the expression of the kingdom through those disciples touch
00:09:16.779 --> 00:09:17.847
The kingdom through those disciples touch every area of life
00:09:17.913 --> 00:09:18.914
Those disciples touch every area of life on planet earth?
00:09:18.981 --> 00:09:20.082
Every area of life on planet earth? every area of evil,
00:09:20.149 --> 00:09:21.317
On planet earth? every area of evil, every area of deception,
00:09:21.384 --> 00:09:22.952
Every area of evil, every area of deception, every area of rebellion,
00:09:23.019 --> 00:09:24.353
Every area of deception, every area of rebellion, every possibility of hope?
00:09:24.420 --> 00:09:25.921
Every area of rebellion, every possibility of hope? did they touch everything
00:09:25.988 --> 00:09:27.289
Every possibility of hope? did they touch everything that god wants to be touched
00:09:27.356 --> 00:09:28.824
Did they touch everything that god wants to be touched with his love, his life,
00:09:28.891 --> 00:09:30.059
That god wants to be touched with his love, his life, and his truth?
00:09:30.126 --> 00:09:31.193
And let me show you how.
00:09:32.495 --> 00:09:33.529
And let me show you how. it started with 12 men.
00:09:33.596 --> 00:09:35.698
It started with 12 men. it expanded, it exploded
00:09:35.765 --> 00:09:37.667
It expanded, it exploded the christian movement,
00:09:37.733 --> 00:09:38.701
The christian movement, and within several
00:09:38.768 --> 00:09:39.702
And within several hundred years the mighty
00:09:39.769 --> 00:09:40.870
But dust.
00:09:42.405 --> 00:09:43.539
But dust. that's the power
00:09:43.606 --> 00:09:44.540
But dust. that's the power of christianity.
00:09:44.607 --> 00:09:45.708
That's the power of christianity. and i believe in a kingdom.
00:09:45.775 --> 00:09:46.876
Of christianity. and i believe in a kingdom. i believe there is
00:09:46.942 --> 00:09:47.877
And i believe in a kingdom. i believe there is a future kingdom
00:09:47.943 --> 00:09:48.878
I believe there is a future kingdom that's coming.
00:09:48.944 --> 00:09:50.146
A future kingdom that's coming. what god wants to be done
00:09:50.212 --> 00:09:51.247
That's coming. what god wants to be done gets done everywhere.
00:09:51.313 --> 00:09:52.915
What god wants to be done gets done everywhere. but we're not supposed
00:09:52.982 --> 00:09:53.916
Gets done everywhere. but we're not supposed to stay in our holy huddle
00:09:53.983 --> 00:09:56.218
But we're not supposed to stay in our holy huddle and just talk to one another.
00:09:56.285 --> 00:09:58.120
To stay in our holy huddle and just talk to one another. we're supposed to share
00:09:58.187 --> 00:09:59.321
And just talk to one another. we're supposed to share the love of christ
00:09:59.388 --> 00:10:00.389
We're supposed to share the love of christ and the message of christ
00:10:00.456 --> 00:10:01.490
The love of christ and the message of christ with every aspect
00:10:01.557 --> 00:10:03.059
And the message of christ with every aspect of public life.
00:10:03.125 --> 00:10:04.794
With every aspect of public life. you know, jesus said
00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:06.162
Of public life. you know, jesus said you're the salt of the earth.
00:10:06.228 --> 00:10:07.997
You know, jesus said you're the salt of the earth. well, salt is a preservative.
00:10:08.064 --> 00:10:09.331
You're the salt of the earth. well, salt is a preservative. it didn't prevent
00:10:09.398 --> 00:10:10.466
Well, salt is a preservative. it didn't prevent the decay of meat,
00:10:10.533 --> 00:10:11.467
It didn't prevent the decay of meat, it slowed the decay of meat.
00:10:11.534 --> 00:10:12.835
The decay of meat, it slowed the decay of meat. but for salt to be effective,
00:10:12.902 --> 00:10:14.470
It slowed the decay of meat. but for salt to be effective, guess what?
00:10:14.537 --> 00:10:15.538
But for salt to be effective, guess what? it's got to get out of
00:10:15.604 --> 00:10:16.605
Guess what? it's got to get out of the salt shaker
00:10:16.672 --> 00:10:17.707
It's got to get out of the salt shaker and it's got to penetrate
00:10:17.773 --> 00:10:18.841
The salt shaker and it's got to penetrate the meat.
00:10:18.908 --> 00:10:19.909
And it's got to penetrate the meat. and we've got
00:10:19.975 --> 00:10:20.976
The meat. and we've got to penetrate this world.
00:10:21.043 --> 00:10:22.044
And we've got to penetrate this world. look, i don't believe
00:10:22.111 --> 00:10:23.112
To penetrate this world. look, i don't believe god is any respecter
00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:24.180
Look, i don't believe god is any respecter of people or nations.
00:10:24.246 --> 00:10:25.347
God is any respecter of people or nations. i don't believe god gets
00:10:25.414 --> 00:10:26.549
Of people or nations. i don't believe god gets goosebumps when he hears
00:10:26.615 --> 00:10:27.650
I don't believe god gets goosebumps when he hears the star spangled banner
00:10:27.717 --> 00:10:28.984
Goosebumps when he hears the star spangled banner or stands up and salutes
00:10:29.051 --> 00:10:30.252
The star spangled banner or stands up and salutes when the american flag
00:10:30.319 --> 00:10:31.520
Or stands up and salutes when the american flag passes by.
00:10:31.587 --> 00:10:32.755
When the american flag passes by. i believe he has uniquely
00:10:32.822 --> 00:10:33.956
Passes by. i believe he has uniquely blessed america,
00:10:34.023 --> 00:10:35.157
I believe he has uniquely blessed america, but we're not exempt
00:10:35.224 --> 00:10:36.659
Blessed america, but we're not exempt from god's law.
00:10:36.726 --> 00:10:37.727
But we're not exempt from god's law. god says, "i will bless
00:10:37.793 --> 00:10:38.961
From god's law. god says, "i will bless any nation that reverences me
00:10:39.028 --> 00:10:41.597
God says, "i will bless any nation that reverences me and i will reject any nation,"
00:10:41.664 --> 00:10:43.833
Any nation that reverences me and i will reject any nation," including the united states,
00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:45.501
And i will reject any nation," including the united states, "that rejects me."
00:10:45.568 --> 00:10:47.036
Including the united states, "that rejects me." that's why the psalmist
00:10:47.103 --> 00:10:48.170
"that rejects me." that's why the psalmist said, psalm 33:12:
00:10:48.237 --> 00:10:49.638
That's why the psalmist said, psalm 33:12: "blessed is the nation
00:10:49.705 --> 00:10:50.873
Said, psalm 33:12: "blessed is the nation whose god is the lord."
00:10:50.940 --> 00:10:52.775
"blessed is the nation whose god is the lord." and i believe, that's why
00:10:52.842 --> 00:10:53.843
Whose god is the lord." and i believe, that's why i wrote this book
00:10:53.909 --> 00:10:54.910
And i believe, that's why i wrote this book the ten to say look,
00:10:55.010 --> 00:10:56.045
I wrote this book the ten to say look, these are ten principles
00:10:56.112 --> 00:10:57.513
The ten to say look, these are ten principles for living.
00:10:57.580 --> 00:10:58.748
These are ten principles for living. now following them
00:10:58.814 --> 00:10:59.949
For living. now following them won't get you to heaven
00:11:00.015 --> 00:11:01.016
Now following them won't get you to heaven when you die but
00:11:01.083 --> 00:11:02.084
Won't get you to heaven when you die but following them right now
00:11:02.151 --> 00:11:03.319
When you die but following them right now will make a better kind
00:11:03.385 --> 00:11:04.587
Following them right now will make a better kind of life than if you ignore
00:11:04.653 --> 00:11:05.921
Will make a better kind of life than if you ignore these commands.
00:11:05.988 --> 00:11:06.956
Of life than if you ignore these commands. james: you know he says
00:11:07.022 --> 00:11:07.957
These commands. james: you know he says we can do his will on earth.
00:11:08.023 --> 00:11:09.258
James: you know he says we can do his will on earth. you have --
00:11:09.325 --> 00:11:10.426
We can do his will on earth. you have -- i don't believe we have
00:11:10.493 --> 00:11:11.494
You have -- i don't believe we have to give our marriages
00:11:11.560 --> 00:11:12.528
I don't believe we have to give our marriages to the deceiver and
00:11:12.595 --> 00:11:13.529
To give our marriages to the deceiver and the destroyer, the divider.
00:11:13.596 --> 00:11:14.563
To the deceiver and the destroyer, the divider. i don't think we have
00:11:14.630 --> 00:11:15.731
The destroyer, the divider. i don't think we have to give our community,
00:11:15.798 --> 00:11:16.799
I don't think we have to give our community, i don't think we have
00:11:16.866 --> 00:11:17.900
To give our community, i don't think we have to give our city.
00:11:17.967 --> 00:11:18.968
I don't think we have to give our city. i don't see you at
00:11:19.034 --> 00:11:20.069
To give our city. i don't see you at first baptist church
00:11:20.136 --> 00:11:21.137
I don't see you at first baptist church in downtown dallas
00:11:21.203 --> 00:11:22.204
First baptist church in downtown dallas giving dallas to the devil.
00:11:22.271 --> 00:11:23.305
In downtown dallas giving dallas to the devil. now he is doing his best
00:11:23.372 --> 00:11:24.707
Giving dallas to the devil. now he is doing his best to take over, but
00:11:24.774 --> 00:11:25.775
Now he is doing his best to take over, but you're just letting him know,
00:11:25.841 --> 00:11:26.909
To take over, but you're just letting him know, there is some territory
00:11:26.976 --> 00:11:27.977
You're just letting him know, there is some territory you're not taking over.
00:11:28.043 --> 00:11:29.044
There is some territory you're not taking over. and i do believe that
00:11:29.111 --> 00:11:30.179
Over god's earth and we can
00:11:31.447 --> 00:11:33.516
Over god's earth and we can rule and reign in christ
00:11:33.582 --> 00:11:35.117
Rule and reign in christ and show people what
00:11:35.184 --> 00:11:36.152
And show people what it looks like to let him
00:11:36.218 --> 00:11:37.219
It looks like to let him be first.
00:11:37.286 --> 00:11:38.320
Be first. it makes an impact
00:11:38.387 --> 00:11:39.455
And positive way.
00:11:40.589 --> 00:11:41.590
And positive way. we're supposed to live
00:11:41.657 --> 00:11:42.792
And positive way. we're supposed to live to bless god and bless others.
00:11:42.858 --> 00:11:44.560
We're supposed to live to bless god and bless others. we don't live with
00:11:44.627 --> 00:11:45.594
To bless god and bless others. we don't live with the focus on us,
00:11:45.661 --> 00:11:46.729
We don't live with the focus on us, we live on his will being done
00:11:46.796 --> 00:11:47.763
The focus on us, we live on his will being done on his earth.
00:11:47.830 --> 00:11:48.998
We live on his will being done on his earth. i have watched you
00:11:49.064 --> 00:11:50.065
On his earth. i have watched you inspire people to do his will
00:11:50.132 --> 00:11:51.834
I have watched you inspire people to do his will on his earth, and they do it
00:11:51.901 --> 00:11:53.636
Inspire people to do his will on his earth, and they do it in kingdom power
00:11:53.702 --> 00:11:54.804
On his earth, and they do it in kingdom power and not their own.
00:11:54.870 --> 00:11:55.938
In kingdom power and not their own. and i think if the church
00:11:56.005 --> 00:11:57.006
And not their own. and i think if the church would come together in a unity
00:11:57.072 --> 00:11:58.474
And i think if the church would come together in a unity that jesus prayed for,
00:11:58.541 --> 00:12:00.042
Would come together in a unity that jesus prayed for, i think we could shake
00:12:00.109 --> 00:12:01.076
That jesus prayed for, i think we could shake the dominions and the kingdom
00:12:01.143 --> 00:12:02.778
I think we could shake the dominions and the kingdom of the devil and see
00:12:02.845 --> 00:12:04.313
The dominions and the kingdom of the devil and see god's will done on earth.
00:12:04.380 --> 00:12:05.548
Of the devil and see god's will done on earth. do you agree with that?
00:12:05.614 --> 00:12:06.715
God's will done on earth. do you agree with that? you and i have worked hard
00:12:06.782 --> 00:12:07.750
Do you agree with that? you and i have worked hard to see that.
00:12:07.817 --> 00:12:08.918
You and i have worked hard to see that. robert: i do! again, i don't
00:12:08.984 --> 00:12:10.019
To see that. robert: i do! again, i don't believe we're going
00:12:10.085 --> 00:12:11.120
Robert: i do! again, i don't believe we're going to usher in the kingdom.
00:12:11.187 --> 00:12:12.188
Believe we're going to usher in the kingdom. the perfect kingdom
00:12:12.254 --> 00:12:13.255
To usher in the kingdom. the perfect kingdom is still yet to come.
00:12:13.322 --> 00:12:14.323
The perfect kingdom is still yet to come. but that doesn't mean
00:12:14.390 --> 00:12:15.391
Is still yet to come. but that doesn't mean we hesitate to share
00:12:15.457 --> 00:12:16.559
But that doesn't mean we hesitate to share the word of god
00:12:16.625 --> 00:12:17.726
We hesitate to share the word of god and do as much as we can
00:12:17.793 --> 00:12:19.395
The word of god and do as much as we can to point people to christ.
00:12:19.461 --> 00:12:21.530
And do as much as we can to point people to christ. the greatest insight
00:12:21.597 --> 00:12:22.832
To point people to christ. the greatest insight i ever got about the kingdom
00:12:22.898 --> 00:12:24.266
The greatest insight i ever got about the kingdom was right here
00:12:24.333 --> 00:12:25.434
I ever got about the kingdom was right here in this television studio
00:12:25.501 --> 00:12:27.036
Was right here in this television studio about 13 years ago.
00:12:27.102 --> 00:12:28.270
In this television studio about 13 years ago. you had a group of leaders
00:12:28.337 --> 00:12:29.438
About 13 years ago. you had a group of leaders here and one of those leaders
00:12:29.505 --> 00:12:31.073
You had a group of leaders here and one of those leaders was a man now in heaven,
00:12:31.140 --> 00:12:32.608
Here and one of those leaders was a man now in heaven, dallas willard.
00:12:32.675 --> 00:12:34.109
Was a man now in heaven, dallas willard. and dallas willard did more
00:12:34.176 --> 00:12:36.212
Dallas willard. and dallas willard did more to teach about the kingdom
00:12:36.278 --> 00:12:37.613
And he said you know
00:12:38.781 --> 00:12:39.782
And he said you know a king's kingdom is anywhere
00:12:39.849 --> 00:12:42.151
A king's kingdom is anywhere that the king reigns.
00:12:42.218 --> 00:12:43.652
That the king reigns. it is where what the king
00:12:43.719 --> 00:12:45.554
It is where what the king wants done gets done.
00:12:45.621 --> 00:12:47.022
Over which he has authority.
00:12:48.224 --> 00:12:49.992
Over which he has authority. now, god has kingdom rule
00:12:50.059 --> 00:12:53.329
Over which he has authority. now, god has kingdom rule over the entire universe
00:12:53.395 --> 00:12:55.531
Now, god has kingdom rule over the entire universe but there is only one
00:12:55.598 --> 00:12:56.799
Over the entire universe but there is only one square inch of this entire
00:12:56.866 --> 00:12:58.334
But there is only one square inch of this entire universe where god's will
00:12:58.400 --> 00:12:59.802
Square inch of this entire universe where god's will isn't being done
00:12:59.869 --> 00:13:00.903
Universe where god's will isn't being done completely right now.
00:13:00.970 --> 00:13:02.204
Isn't being done completely right now. it is on that tiny
00:13:02.271 --> 00:13:03.239
Completely right now. it is on that tiny little mud ball
00:13:03.305 --> 00:13:04.540
It is on that tiny little mud ball called planet earth.
00:13:04.607 --> 00:13:05.841
Little mud ball called planet earth. and right now there is
00:13:05.908 --> 00:13:06.909
Called planet earth. and right now there is a rebellion.
00:13:06.976 --> 00:13:08.010
And right now there is a rebellion. but one day that rebellion
00:13:08.077 --> 00:13:09.345
A rebellion. but one day that rebellion is going to be quenched,
00:13:09.411 --> 00:13:10.646
To be done everywhere.
00:13:11.981 --> 00:13:13.782
To be done everywhere. but right now the mystery
00:13:13.849 --> 00:13:15.117
But right now the mystery of the kingdom is
00:13:15.184 --> 00:13:16.452
Of the kingdom is it starts in the individual
00:13:16.518 --> 00:13:17.586
It starts in the individual lives of believers.
00:13:17.653 --> 00:13:18.988
Lives of believers. when we pray thy kingdom
00:13:19.054 --> 00:13:20.322
On earth as it is in heaven,
00:13:21.891 --> 00:13:23.859
On earth as it is in heaven, "on earth" means
00:13:23.926 --> 00:13:25.160

A while ago. by the way, that's the only group

By the way, that's the only group you could see so clearly,
00:17:54.663 --> 00:17:55.831
The only group you could see so clearly, jesus made clear,
00:17:55.898 --> 00:17:57.399
You could see so clearly, jesus made clear, that these are the sheep.
00:17:57.466 --> 00:17:58.667
Jesus made clear, that these are the sheep. you don't have to wonder

And we restore them. what do you want
00:18:13.348 --> 00:18:14.349
What do you want our viewers to hear?
00:18:14.416 --> 00:18:15.517
Our viewers to hear? because, betty,
00:18:15.584 --> 00:18:16.718
Because, betty, you and i have seen

James: our heart breaks for the men and the people
00:18:21.056 --> 00:18:22.090
For the men and the people that would use those girls,
00:18:22.157 --> 00:18:23.158
That would use those girls, not only sell them
00:18:23.225 --> 00:18:24.226
Not only sell them but go and buy them.
00:18:24.293 --> 00:18:25.294
But go and buy them. it breaks my heart.
00:18:25.360 --> 00:18:26.361
It breaks my heart. god set us free.
00:18:26.428 --> 00:18:27.729
God set us free. betty: james, sometimes
00:18:27.796 --> 00:18:28.797
Betty: james, sometimes it might be just one girl
00:18:28.864 --> 00:18:29.898
It might be just one girl at a time.
00:18:29.965 --> 00:18:31.099
At a time. that one child
00:18:31.166 --> 00:18:32.167
That one child is worth all that we can give
00:18:32.234 --> 00:18:33.535

From one little girl and they couldn't locate her,
00:18:38.707 --> 00:18:40.475
And they couldn't locate her, they kept moving her around.
00:18:40.542 --> 00:18:42.244
They kept moving her around. finally, she was set free.

I want to talk with you about what to do
00:22:26.501 --> 00:22:27.536
About what to do while you wait
00:22:27.602 --> 00:22:28.637
While you wait for the breakthrough.
00:22:28.703 --> 00:22:29.805
For the breakthrough. so often you hear people say,
00:22:29.871 --> 00:22:30.872
So often you hear people say, "i wish there was something
00:22:30.939 --> 00:22:32.007
But there's nothing i can do."
00:22:33.175 --> 00:22:34.142
But there's nothing i can do." well, there's always something
00:22:34.209 --> 00:22:35.177
But there's nothing i can do." well, there's always something you can do.
00:22:35.243 --> 00:22:36.211
Well, there's always something you can do. you can fast, you can pray.
00:22:36.278 --> 00:22:37.245
You can do. you can fast, you can pray. you can remember
00:22:37.312 --> 00:22:38.280
You can fast, you can pray. you can remember what god told you.
00:22:38.346 --> 00:22:39.314
You can remember what god told you. they say remember
00:22:39.381 --> 00:22:40.348
What god told you. they say remember in the darkness
00:22:40.415 --> 00:22:41.383
They say remember in the darkness what he told you in the light.
00:22:41.450 --> 00:22:42.417
In the darkness what he told you in the light. as i study the israelites,
00:22:42.484 --> 00:22:43.418
What he told you in the light. as i study the israelites, i want so much to learn
00:22:43.485 --> 00:22:44.419
As i study the israelites, i want so much to learn from the things they did right
00:22:44.486 --> 00:22:45.420
I want so much to learn from the things they did right and the things
00:22:45.487 --> 00:22:46.421
From the things they did right and the things that they did wrong.
00:22:46.488 --> 00:22:47.422
And the things that they did wrong. i marvel that their complaint
00:22:47.489 --> 00:22:48.457
That they did wrong. i marvel that their complaint and their groan,
00:22:48.523 --> 00:22:49.491
I marvel that their complaint and their groan, their cry to god
00:22:49.558 --> 00:22:51.159
And their groan, their cry to god when they were in slavery
00:22:51.226 --> 00:22:52.394
Their cry to god when they were in slavery in egypt,
00:22:52.461 --> 00:22:53.595
When they were in slavery in egypt, it reached god's ears.
00:22:53.662 --> 00:22:54.629
In egypt, it reached god's ears. he heard their groans,
00:22:54.696 --> 00:22:55.730
It reached god's ears. he heard their groans, he heard their cry,
00:22:55.797 --> 00:22:56.798
He heard their groans, he heard their cry, and he mobilized moses
00:22:56.865 --> 00:22:57.966
He heard their cry, and he mobilized moses to come as their deliverer.
00:22:58.033 --> 00:22:59.501
And he mobilized moses to come as their deliverer. think about this:
00:22:59.568 --> 00:23:01.036
To come as their deliverer. think about this: that they were enslaved
00:23:01.102 --> 00:23:02.471
Think about this: that they were enslaved under backbreaking bondage
00:23:02.537 --> 00:23:05.307
That they were enslaved under backbreaking bondage and then yet scripture says
00:23:05.373 --> 00:23:06.608
Under backbreaking bondage and then yet scripture says when they left egypt
00:23:06.675 --> 00:23:08.243
And then yet scripture says when they left egypt there wasn't a feeble one
00:23:08.310 --> 00:23:09.544
When they left egypt there wasn't a feeble one among them.
00:23:09.611 --> 00:23:10.679
There wasn't a feeble one among them. how is that possible?
00:23:10.745 --> 00:23:12.047
Among them. how is that possible? how is it possible
00:23:12.113 --> 00:23:13.181
How is that possible? how is it possible that some didn't have
00:23:13.248 --> 00:23:14.282
How is it possible that some didn't have parasites and herniated discs
00:23:14.349 --> 00:23:15.417
That some didn't have parasites and herniated discs and arthritis?
00:23:15.484 --> 00:23:16.751
Parasites and herniated discs and arthritis? and how is it that
00:23:16.818 --> 00:23:18.019
And arthritis? and how is it that there wasn't a feeble one
00:23:18.086 --> 00:23:19.721
And how is it that there wasn't a feeble one among them.
00:23:19.788 --> 00:23:20.956
There wasn't a feeble one among them. well, i believe,
00:23:21.022 --> 00:23:22.023
Among them. well, i believe, when they were in their homes
00:23:22.090 --> 00:23:23.024
Well, i believe, when they were in their homes and the blood
00:23:23.091 --> 00:23:24.125
When they were in their homes and the blood was over their mantle,
00:23:24.192 --> 00:23:25.260
And the blood was over their mantle, they were healed.
00:23:25.327 --> 00:23:26.361
Was over their mantle, they were healed. scripture also says
00:23:26.428 --> 00:23:27.429
They were healed. scripture also says they were loaded down
00:23:27.496 --> 00:23:28.597
Scripture also says they were loaded down with the riches
00:23:28.663 --> 00:23:29.731
They were loaded down with the riches of the egyptians.
00:23:29.798 --> 00:23:30.866
With the riches of the egyptians. their enemies loaded them down
00:23:30.932 --> 00:23:32.033
Of the egyptians. their enemies loaded them down with riches.
00:23:32.100 --> 00:23:33.168
Their enemies loaded them down with riches. so they were healed,
00:23:33.235 --> 00:23:34.269
With riches. so they were healed, they were empowered,
00:23:34.336 --> 00:23:35.337
So they were healed, they were empowered, they were equipped,
00:23:35.403 --> 00:23:36.371
They were empowered, they were equipped, and the lord,
00:23:36.438 --> 00:23:37.439
They were equipped, and the lord, by signs and wonders,
00:23:37.506 --> 00:23:38.540
And the lord, by signs and wonders, emancipated them,
00:23:38.607 --> 00:23:39.641
By signs and wonders, emancipated them, led them out of slavery.
00:23:39.708 --> 00:23:40.742
Emancipated them, led them out of slavery. yet, that first generation
00:23:40.809 --> 00:23:42.344
Led them out of slavery. yet, that first generation didn't make it
00:23:42.410 --> 00:23:43.545
Yet, that first generation didn't make it into the promised land
00:23:43.612 --> 00:23:44.746
Didn't make it into the promised land because they were still
00:23:44.813 --> 00:23:45.780
Into the promised land because they were still so captive
00:23:45.847 --> 00:23:46.982
Because they were still so captive to their complaining.
00:23:47.048 --> 00:23:48.250
So captive to their complaining. they still had so much
00:23:48.316 --> 00:23:49.384
To their complaining. they still had so much of that captivity
00:23:49.451 --> 00:23:50.452
They still had so much of that captivity and trauma mindset,
00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:51.486
Of that captivity and trauma mindset, they identified more
00:23:51.553 --> 00:23:52.587
And trauma mindset, they identified more with their hardship
00:23:52.654 --> 00:23:53.688
They identified more with their hardship than they did
00:23:53.755 --> 00:23:54.789
With their hardship than they did with their heavenly father.
00:23:54.856 --> 00:23:55.891
Than they did with their heavenly father. because in hebrews it says:
00:23:55.957 --> 00:23:56.992
With their heavenly father. because in hebrews it says: "the promise
00:23:57.058 --> 00:23:58.093
Because in hebrews it says: "the promise did not benefit them,
00:23:58.159 --> 00:23:59.327
"the promise did not benefit them, because when it came
00:23:59.394 --> 00:24:00.729
Did not benefit them, because when it came it wasn't met by faith."
00:24:00.795 --> 00:24:02.297
Because when it came it wasn't met by faith." and so often we fling
00:24:02.364 --> 00:24:03.698
It wasn't met by faith." and so often we fling our prayers up to god,
00:24:03.765 --> 00:24:04.900
And so often we fling our prayers up to god, and then we think
00:24:04.966 --> 00:24:06.001
Our prayers up to god, and then we think there's nothing more
00:24:06.067 --> 00:24:07.068
And then we think there's nothing more we can do,
00:24:07.135 --> 00:24:08.069
There's nothing more we can do, so we do nothing more.
00:24:08.136 --> 00:24:09.237
We can do, so we do nothing more. god is activated
00:24:09.304 --> 00:24:10.272
So we do nothing more. god is activated when we pray;
00:24:10.338 --> 00:24:11.306
God is activated when we pray; he moves when we pray.
00:24:11.373 --> 00:24:12.407
When we pray; he moves when we pray. but when the promise comes,
00:24:12.474 --> 00:24:15.076
He moves when we pray. but when the promise comes, will it be met by faith?
00:24:15.143 --> 00:24:16.945
But when the promise comes, will it be met by faith? i shudder to think
00:24:17.012 --> 00:24:18.079
Will it be met by faith? i shudder to think of how many answers
00:24:18.146 --> 00:24:19.180
I shudder to think of how many answers have found their way
00:24:19.247 --> 00:24:20.348
Of how many answers have found their way back to us,
00:24:20.415 --> 00:24:21.516
Have found their way back to us, but they didn't benefit us
00:24:21.583 --> 00:24:22.517
Back to us, but they didn't benefit us because our hearts
00:24:22.584 --> 00:24:23.652
But they didn't benefit us because our hearts were in the same place
00:24:23.718 --> 00:24:24.753
Uttered the prayer.
00:24:25.987 --> 00:24:26.955
Uttered the prayer. there's always something
00:24:27.022 --> 00:24:28.056
There's always something you can do.
00:24:28.123 --> 00:24:29.190
You can do. and whining and grumbling
00:24:29.257 --> 00:24:30.258
And whining and grumbling and complaining
00:24:30.325 --> 00:24:31.326
And complaining only hardens our heart.
00:24:31.393 --> 00:24:32.394
Only hardens our heart. and it blinds us.
00:24:32.460 --> 00:24:33.461
And it blinds us. i always say ingratitude
00:24:33.528 --> 00:24:34.529
But gratitude,
00:24:35.697 --> 00:24:36.665
But gratitude, which is always
00:24:36.731 --> 00:24:37.732
But gratitude, which is always god's will for us,
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:38.800
Which is always god's will for us, opens up our spiritual lives.
00:24:38.867 --> 00:24:40.168
God's will for us, opens up our spiritual lives. there's always something
00:24:40.235 --> 00:24:41.236
Opens up our spiritual lives. there's always something you can do while you wait
00:24:41.303 --> 00:24:42.437
There's always something you can do while you wait for your breakthrough.
00:24:42.504 --> 00:24:43.505
You can do while you wait for your breakthrough. start by thanking god.
00:24:43.572 --> 00:24:45.373
For your breakthrough. start by thanking god. someone once said,
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:46.474
Start by thanking god. someone once said, "if i woke up tomorrow
00:24:46.541 --> 00:24:48.510
Someone once said, "if i woke up tomorrow with only those things
00:24:48.577 --> 00:24:49.544
"if i woke up tomorrow with only those things that i thank god for today,
00:24:49.611 --> 00:24:51.179
With only those things that i thank god for today, what would i have?"
00:24:51.246 --> 00:24:52.981
That i thank god for today, what would i have?" so what if you look around
00:24:53.048 --> 00:24:54.449
What would i have?" so what if you look around at all the blessings
00:24:54.516 --> 00:24:55.684
So what if you look around at all the blessings that you enjoy
00:24:55.750 --> 00:24:56.818
At all the blessings that you enjoy and try to imagine a gift tag
00:24:56.885 --> 00:24:57.986
That you enjoy and try to imagine a gift tag on each of those gifts
00:24:58.053 --> 00:24:59.254
And try to imagine a gift tag on each of those gifts that says "to you, from god."
00:24:59.321 --> 00:25:02.290
On each of those gifts that says "to you, from god." because every good gift
00:25:02.357 --> 00:25:03.558
That says "to you, from god." because every good gift comes from god.
00:25:03.625 --> 00:25:04.659
Because every good gift comes from god. start there!
00:25:04.726 --> 00:25:05.694

00:25:07.862 --> 00:25:09.531
Because your eyes will open to how good he's been and how good he is being.
00:25:09.598 --> 00:25:11.399
To how good he's been and how good he is being. prepare your heart
00:25:11.466 --> 00:25:12.667
And how good he is being. prepare your heart for the breakthrough.
00:25:12.734 --> 00:25:13.835
Prepare your heart for the breakthrough. i often say he makes us wait
00:25:13.902 --> 00:25:15.370
For the breakthrough. i often say he makes us wait because he's making us ready.
00:25:15.437 --> 00:25:17.038
I often say he makes us wait because he's making us ready. so in the time in between,
00:25:17.105 --> 00:25:18.473
Because he's making us ready. so in the time in between, god is always so strategic,
00:25:18.540 --> 00:25:20.208
So in the time in between, god is always so strategic, the timing of his answers,
00:25:20.275 --> 00:25:21.543
God is always so strategic, the timing of his answers, he has things for you to do.
00:25:21.610 --> 00:25:23.612
The timing of his answers, he has things for you to do. he doesn't want you

To twiddle your thumbs, he doesn't want you to gripe and moan and complain.
00:25:27.248 --> 00:25:28.350
He doesn't want you to gripe and moan and complain. he wants you to worship him.
00:25:28.416 --> 00:25:29.851
And moan and complain. he wants you to worship him. because even

He wants you to worship him. because even when you can't feel him,
00:25:31.052 --> 00:25:32.087
Because even when you can't feel him, even when you can't sense him,
00:25:32.153 --> 00:25:33.188
When you can't feel him, even when you can't sense him, he's moving.
00:25:33.254 --> 00:25:34.255
Even when you can't sense him, he's moving. if you could peel
00:25:34.322 --> 00:25:35.290
He's moving. if you could peel back the sky
00:25:35.357 --> 00:25:36.291
If you could peel back the sky and see the spiritual realm,
00:25:36.358 --> 00:25:37.425
Back the sky and see the spiritual realm, he's pointing
00:25:37.492 --> 00:25:38.560
And see the spiritual realm, he's pointing and charging his angels to go
00:25:38.627 --> 00:25:39.694
