  Hebrews Chapter 11. Let us pray.
• 0:07
  Oh Father, here we are, Lord, we come expectantly, Father, that
• 0:16
  you're going to surround us, Lord, with your presence.
• 0:20
  Send the angelic host God to come and encamp around us.
• 0:25
  Father, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ for the blood of
• 0:31
  the Savior to cover us. God, I pray in the name of Jesus
• 0:35
  for a covering. God, I pray, Lord, that your
• 0:38
  words will resound throughout all generations.
• 0:42
  God, I pray that your words will never pass away.
• 0:46
  Lord, I pray for a life that's lived on purpose.
• 0:49
  God, I pray in the name of Jesus for there to be many who come to
• 0:53
  the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as their savior.
• 0:57
  Father, I pray in the name of Jesus, against all iniquity and
• 1:01
  malice. God, against all the demonic
• 1:04
  stronghold. God, bind them in the name of
• 1:06
  Jesus and cast them into utter darkness and gloom, into the
• 1:10
  chains, God, that you have awaiting for them.
• 1:13
  God, bind them off of this time. Bind them off of your word.
• 1:17
  God, bind them from off of this world.
• 1:19
  God, let us walk in heavenly places.
• 1:22
  Lord, take us from glory to glory.
• 1:25
  God, I pray that you will help us to understand what is at
• 1:30
  stake today, God, the eternal destination of man's soul.
• 1:36
  God, I pray that you will help us to be your hands and feet.
• 1:40
  Help us to love you more. Help us to know that you're
• 1:44
  near. Help us, God, to understand your
• 1:47
  words. Give us sound doctrine and sound
• 1:50
  theology. Help us to rightly divide the
• 1:52
  word today. Lord, I pray for the healing of
• 1:59
  the bodies Lord, that are sick and infirm.
• 2:02
  God, I pray for the strengthening of the members for
• 2:05
  the lame. I pray God for you to reverse
• 2:10
  diseases. Lord, I pray in the name of
• 2:13
  Jesus for sight to be restored. God, I pray in the name of Jesus
• 2:19
  for the deaf to hear again, for the mute to speak.
• 2:23
  Father, I pray in the name of Jesus for limbs to regrow.
• 2:28
  God, I pray in the name of Jesus for power from on high.
• 2:32
  God to walk on water and to handle snakes.
• 2:35
  God, to drink poison and not die.
• 2:37
  Lord, God Almighty, the things that you've promised us.
• 2:41
  Father, I pray in the name of Jesus that you'll help us.
• 2:45
  Lord, help us to know that you are, that you are moving
• 2:52
  mightily in our midst. Father, I pray in the name of
• 2:57
  Jesus for clarity and peace. God, I pray that you will clear
• 3:03
  the air. Speak to us, Lord, we're
• 3:13
  listening. Hallelujah, Father.
• 3:22
  Glory God, we love you. Jesus, you are a good Father.
• 3:41
  I decrease as you increase. Maranatha, come, Lord, come in
• 3:49
  Jesus Christ, holy and precious name I pray, Amen.
• 3:55
  Let's start in verse one now. Faith is the substance of things
• 4:02
  hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
• 4:06
  You couldn't get a better definition if somebody asked
• 4:09
  you. What is faith?
• 4:11
  What does it even look like? How does it actually reveal
• 4:14
  itself? Friends, it is a substance.
• 4:17
  There is a reality, there is a weight to it.
• 4:20
  Friends, It's believing the things that are not yet as if
• 4:23
  they already are. It's calling them as if they
• 4:27
  already are in existence. Friends, it's not wavering.
• 4:31
  It's not being tossed to and fro, it's by being resolute and
• 4:36
  steadfast in the face of adversity and persecution.
• 4:41
  We do not back down because we know the God that we serve.
• 4:45
  And even if He chooses not to act, it doesn't mean that He
• 4:48
  can't. Friends, we have the faith the
• 4:51
  size of a mustard seed in Christ Jesus the Author, the perfector
• 4:57
  of our faith. Friends, we will be there with
• 5:01
  him in the end. We will see him face to face.
• 5:06
  Friends, in the city of God, the New Jerusalem, we will be caught
• 5:12
  up to meet him in the air to be with him forevermore.
• 5:16
  Friends, we will experience the resurrection power.
• 5:21
  Friends, praise God, Hallelujah, we love you, Father, and we
• 5:26
  counted the cost, and we found that you are worthy and holy and
• 5:31
  lovely and beautiful in all of your ways. 2 For by it the
• 5:38
  elders obtained a good report. Those men and women of faith
• 5:44
  from long ago have garnered a wonderful report.
• 5:49
  There have been many who have come before us, friends, and
• 5:53
  they have laid the foundations on the chief Cornerstone, Christ
• 5:57
  Jesus, and they have found that no matter how much weight that
• 6:02
  they placed upon that chief cornerstone, it was able to bear
• 6:07
  them up. Friends, his yoke is easy, His
• 6:11
  burden is light, and you will never be put to shame when you
• 6:14
  put your whole faith in your whole self in Christ Jesus.
• 6:20
  They garnered a great report, a good report, because they
• 6:24
  believed Him. They took Him at His word.
• 6:27
  They did not waver when persecution and trials and
• 6:30
  tribulations came. They did not fall away and
• 6:34
  become apostate, as some are in the habit of doing.
• 6:37
  Verse 3. Through faith we understand that
• 6:41
  the world's were framed by the Word of God so that things which
• 6:45
  are seen were not made of things which do appear.
• 6:49
  Go back and search the scriptures in Genesis.
• 6:51
  Whenever God spoke everything into existence, friends, all
• 6:57
  matter. All of the tapestry in the
• 7:00
  fabric of everything seen and unseen was spoken and it
• 7:07
  materialized. And everything that we can see,
• 7:10
  and touch, and taste, and feel, and smell, and experience, is
• 7:17
  hung on His every word. What an amazing thought.
• 7:23
  For by faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice
• 7:29
  than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous.
• 7:33
  God testifying of his gifts and by it being dead, yet speaks so.
• 7:41
  We can see that Abel's blood cried out from the ground and
• 7:45
  spoke a better word. We can see that Abel offered the
• 7:50
  first unblemished perfect from his flock, which was a
• 7:55
  representation of Christ Jesus. And we can see that Cain gave
• 8:00
  the leftovers. And God said, sin is crouching
• 8:03
  at your door, but you must subdue it, or it will master
• 8:06
  you. And you can see here that it was
• 8:09
  this indignation that God would accept the first born that made
• 8:15
  Cain so indignant. And he slew his own brother and
• 8:20
  tried to cover it up. And you can see that God sees
• 8:25
  everything in the blood of the innocent is crying out from the
• 8:29
  ground night and day. And we are thankful that the
• 8:33
  blood of Jesus Christ speaks a better word.
• 8:37
  And there is no forgiveness of sins unless the shedding of
• 8:40
  innocent blood. And you can see here Abel was
• 8:43
  counted righteous as a type in a shadow of what Christ was to do.
• 8:51
  5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death,
• 8:57
  and was not found because God had translated him.
• 9:00
  For before his translation he had this testimony that he
• 9:06
  pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him,
• 9:13
  for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he
• 9:18
  is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
• 9:23
  Oh, Enoch was raptured, caught up into the air, just like
• 9:28
  Elijah. Friends, what an amazing thought
• 9:32
  that he pleased God. And we can see that it was faith
• 9:36
  that made God so well pleased, that Enoch did not even taste
• 9:42
  death. And you can see here what it
• 9:45
  takes to please God. We must believe that God is
• 9:50
  period, the great I am period. We do not need to doubt.
• 9:56
  We do not need to waver. We do not need to have any
• 10:00
  reservations about if God is. And then beyond that, God will
• 10:10
  reward us. We must believe that as we
• 10:14
  diligently seek Him, day by day, hour by hour, second by second,
• 10:19
  heartbeat by heartbeat, we pulsate towards the light.
• 10:25
  We seek after Him, we take the shovel and we dig up the earth
• 10:31
  and find the buried treasure full of gems and jewels,
• 10:35
  diamonds. Friends, inside of the Word of
• 10:39
  God, as we diligently seek Him, He's inexhaustible.
• 10:43
  Friends, you could never touch the bottom.
• 10:47
  He is, and He does reward 7 by faith.
• 10:52
  Noah being warned of God that things not seen as yet, moved
• 10:57
  with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house by the
• 11:02
  which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness
• 11:06
  which which is by faith. Noah hadn't even seen rain come
• 11:11
  upon the earth yet. It was the springs that would
• 11:14
  come up out of the ground to water all of the vegetation.
• 11:18
  Friends and God told him to build this massive box in the
• 11:22
  middle of dry land. No sail, no rudder, just a box
• 11:32
  and then a massive door that could not even be closed by
• 11:35
  human hands. And then the idea of pairs of
• 11:39
  animals finding their way into the ark.
• 11:42
  Friends, how ridiculous is that? How ridiculous of a notion is
• 11:49
  it? And Noah believed it, friends.
• 11:53
  And you can see he's in this hall of faith.
• 11:58
  And the writer of Hebrews has just got started.
• 12:02
  He's wanting us to walk down this corridor and look at all
• 12:06
  these great men and women of faith so that we can see the
• 12:11
  examples that we are to live by. These were regular humans.
• 12:15
  These were not superhumans, friends.
• 12:17
  There was nothing special about them other than their impeccable
• 12:21
  faith upon a God that can do anything.
• 12:27
  A By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place
• 12:34
  which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed, and
• 12:38
  he went out, not knowing where he went. 9 By faith he sojourned
• 12:45
  in the land of promise, as in a strange country dwelling in
• 12:50
  tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the
• 12:54
  same promise. So you can see here father
• 12:57
  Abraham, and you can see the seed friends of Isaac, the
• 13:01
  laughter. You can see Jacob who wrestled
• 13:04
  with God, who is named Israel, who there is still a nation in
• 13:09
  existence today by that same name.
• 13:12
  Friends, this inheritance that is unwavering and God has made
• 13:16
  sure to bring them into this current time.
• 13:20
  And that is the ridiculous notion of who God is.
• 13:24
  Friends, He can do anything. He can sustain an entire people
• 13:29
  group for thousands upon thousands upon thousands of
• 13:33
  years for His purpose and His plan.
• 13:37
  And we can see all of the promises of God are still
• 13:40
  relevant to that Nation Today. 10 For he looked for a city
• 13:47
  which had foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
• 13:51
  This is a reference not only to Jerusalem, friends, but this is
• 13:55
  a reference to New Jerusalem, the city of God.
• 13:59
  And Jesus told us that he goes to prepare a place for us, and
• 14:03
  in his Father's house there are many mansions.
• 14:06
  Praise God, Hallelujah. We could see that Abraham, Isaac
• 14:09
  and Jacob, they looked forward to this new Jerusalem.
• 14:13
  They look forward to the City of David, They look forward to the
• 14:17
  Millennial Temple with Jesus Christ ruling and reigning in
• 14:21
  Jerusalem for 1000 years. 11 Through faith also, Sarah
• 14:28
  herself received strength to conceive seed and was delivered
• 14:32
  of a child when she was past age because she judged him faithful
• 14:38
  who had promised. So.
• 14:40
  There Sarah is listening in on the conversation between Abraham
• 14:44
  and the angels of God, and she laughs because she was so old
• 14:52
  and she had never even had a child, and she was thinking
• 14:55
  Hagar was the way that it was all going to come into
• 14:59
  manifestation. But look at her now.
• 15:02
  She sees that God can do anything and she believes in
• 15:06
  Here comes little baby Isaac. Laughter 12 therefore sprang
• 15:14
  there even of 1 and him as good as dead so many as the stars of
• 15:20
  the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the seashore.
• 15:25
  Innumerable possibly 3,000,000 Jews were let out of Egypt into
• 15:33
  the wilderness. This massive, massive people
• 15:38
  group that were multiplying so much so that the Egyptians were
• 15:45
  afraid because there were more of them than the Egyptians
• 15:48
  themselves. You can see the promises of God
• 15:51
  coming into fruition. You can see that even today and
• 15:55
  our day and our hour at this time, you can see the nation,
• 15:59
  Israel, stronger than ever, one of the greatest military mites
• 16:04
  on planet earth, friends, and it is all being fueled by God
• 16:09
  Almighty, this little nation the size of New Jersey.
• 16:13
  Friends, what an amazing thought that God is the one who is
• 16:18
  protecting them. 13 These all died in faith, not having
• 16:27
  received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and
• 16:31
  were persuaded of them and embraced them, and confessed
• 16:36
  that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
• 16:39
  Can you say that today that the earth is not your home?
• 16:43
  This world is not our inheritance, friends.
• 16:46
  We are just pilgrims passing through a strange land.
• 16:50
  And you can see with all of the demonic hosts that rules and all
• 16:55
  of the demonic hosts that reigns and the Prince of the air, and
• 16:59
  you can see that this is not our inheritance.
• 17:03
  We are just light in salt in a very bland and Dark World,
• 17:08
  friends, and we must count the cost and we must know that we
• 17:12
  have a job to do. The harvest is plenty, but the
• 17:15
  workers are few friends. And it is all an ultimate plan
• 17:20
  of God, His omnipotence on display, His sovereignty as He
• 17:26
  allows all of the things that are happening right now.
• 17:29
  And we should not be distraught and we should not be fearful,
• 17:35
  for God is for us and no one can be against us.
• 17:38
  Friends, do not fear the one that can kill the body, but fear
• 17:41
  the one that can kill the body and cast your soul into hell. 14
• 17:48
  For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a
• 17:53
  country. 15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country
• 17:58
  from where they had came out, they might have had opportunity
• 18:03
  to have returned. 16 But now they desire a better country,
• 18:08
  that is, a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed to
• 18:11
  be called their God, for He has prepared for them a city, the
• 18:15
  city of God, the New Jerusalem, friends, with the foundations of
• 18:20
  the 12 apostles written upon it, and all of the gates, friends of
• 18:25
  the 12 tribes of Israel written upon them.
• 18:29
  And the gates are never shut, and He is there.
• 18:33
  And there is no need for a temple, because Jesus Christ
• 18:36
  dwells there. There's no need for light
• 18:39
  because God is there. Imagine that, friends.
• 18:43
  What an amazing thought. And they all had opportunity to
• 18:46
  tuck tail and turn around and go back, but God gave them a divine
• 18:54
  revelation of what they were pushing towards.
• 18:57
  And that is faith, friends. It's believing that God can and
• 19:01
  will deliver on all the promises that He gives to us.
• 19:05
  And this entire book from Genesis to Revelation is a book
• 19:10
  of promises. Underline them and highlight
• 19:13
  them, friends. Write them in the margin of your
• 19:15
  Bible, because God can deliver on every single one of the
• 19:19
  promises contained in His Word. When he tells us, we're going to
• 19:23
  be caught up, to meet Him in the air, to meet Him in the clouds,
• 19:28
  and there we will be with Him forevermore.
• 19:31
  We believe it because He said it, and He can do it.
• 19:33
  Friends. 17 By faith, Abraham, when he was tried, offered up
• 19:44
  Isaac and he that received the promises offered up his only
• 19:48
  begotten son, types and shadows of Jesus Christ, God's only
• 19:52
  begotten being offered up in the same place that Jesus was
• 19:57
  crucified. Here you can see Abraham leading
• 20:00
  up Isaac, who was probably a late teenager, an early adult.
• 20:06
  He was not just a little boy that Abraham could overpower.
• 20:11
  And he willfully laid down, and we can see here that Abraham
• 20:16
  reasoned within himself that God could raise him from the dead
• 20:20
  like he would do Jesus Christ there in that same spot.
• 20:27
  Imagine that, friends 18 of whom it was said that in Isaac shall
• 20:35
  your seed be called. 19 accounting that God was able to
• 20:39
  raise him up even from the dead, from where he also received him
• 20:44
  in a figure. So imagine that This is why
• 20:47
  Abraham is called the father of faith, because he believed God
• 20:53
  and it was accredited to him as righteousness.
• 20:56
  Friends, this faith we all need to increase our faith.
• 21:02
  Raise the shield of faith up higher than your thoughts and
• 21:08
  your emotions, than your own mind and your will.
• 21:11
  Raise it up higher, friends, than all the information that
• 21:15
  the world is trying to bring to you.
• 21:19
  We raise up faith higher. We know that God can cause us to
• 21:23
  catch a fish that has not only our tax money in it, but also
• 21:28
  the Lord's. We know that we can trust that
• 21:32
  Jesus Christ walked on water, multiplied food, fed thousands
• 21:36
  upon thousands, raised people from the dead.
• 21:40
  Friends, we know that we can trust it, and it is as good as
• 21:46
  true. 20 By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things
• 21:55
  to come. You can see here that even out
• 21:58
  of the deception of Jacob, as he puts on the goat's hair and he
• 22:03
  goes in, we can see that Esau had already sold his birthright.
• 22:09
  We can see that God had already said that the older would serve
• 22:12
  the younger. We can already see, friends,
• 22:16
  that God's promises remain, and God Himself will make sure that
• 22:24
  all of the things that He tells us will happen, will happen.
• 22:30
  And we could see that Isaac trembled as he realized that God
• 22:34
  Almighty was going to make sure that Jacob was the one that got
• 22:39
  blessed. 21 By faith. Jacob, when he was dying, he
• 22:44
  blessed both the sons of Joseph and worship, leaning upon the
• 22:48
  top of his staff because he wrestled with God and God put
• 22:52
  his hip out of joint. Friends, you can see that this
• 22:56
  is what it means, friends, to have faith.
• 22:59
  It's by grabbing hold of God and refusing to let go of him until
• 23:03
  he blesses you. Praise the Lord. 22 By faith,
• 23:07
  Joseph, when he died, he made mention of the departing of the
• 23:11
  children of Israel and gave commandment concerning his
• 23:14
  bones. So Joseph was the one who
• 23:18
  actually helped them, and he was actually the one who made sure
• 23:22
  that that nation Israel did not starve to death as they were
• 23:27
  leaving their promised landing going down into Egypt.
• 23:32
  Joseph was the one who actually helped them to survive the
• 23:36
  famine. And it was by faith that Joseph
• 23:41
  gave Pharaoh all the interpretations of his dreams.
• 23:45
  Friends 23 By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hit three
• 23:50
  months of his parents because they saw he was a proper child
• 23:54
  and they were not afraid of the King's commandment.
• 23:56
  What a word to you and to me. We do not need to be afraid of
• 24:01
  those that are in the position of power.
• 24:04
  Friends, we obey God before we ever obey man.
• 24:10
  And that is what the faith of Moses's parents were like, and
• 24:14
  they passed that faith along to Moses.
• 24:18
  And we see that Moses was growing up amongst luxury and
• 24:24
  dining and feasting sumptuously, and he had no need for nothing.
• 24:29
  But there was a holy discontentment within Moses. 24
• 24:37
  By faith, Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be
• 24:42
  called the son of Pharaoh's daughter.
• 24:44
  We can see that Moses knew that he was an Israelite. 25 choosing
• 24:50
  rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy
• 24:57
  the pleasures of sin for a season.
• 24:59
  What a word for you and what a word for me.
• 25:02
  We do not need to just choose luxury.
• 25:05
  We don't need to choose the niceties.
• 25:08
  We don't need to choose comfort. We don't need to choose to just
• 25:13
  sit idly and to be complicit and not speak up for the things that
• 25:18
  break God's heart. And here you can see that Moses
• 25:22
  understood that he was an Israelite and he could not stand
• 25:25
  by and see the affliction of his people and he did not care to be
• 25:29
  called the son of Pharaoh's daughter.
• 25:32
  He counted it as nothing. We do not need to be so
• 25:35
  preoccupied with titles. We don't need to be so
• 25:38
  preoccupied with our own safety and security.
• 25:42
  We need to do the things that God has asked us to do in the
• 25:45
  little lifetime that He gives us to do it in, friends, and we
• 25:48
  will be counted worthy and faithful, Friends. 26 Esteeming
• 25:53
  the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in
• 25:57
  Egypt, for he had respect unto the repayment of the reward.
• 26:01
  Friends, do you count Christ as your everything?
• 26:05
  Is He the treasure for you? Friends, are you not ashamed to
• 26:09
  be called Christian? And if you are not ashamed to be
• 26:14
  called gods, then God will not be ashamed to be called yours.
• 26:21
  27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the
• 26:25
  king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.
• 26:30
  That's what it takes, friends, It's by seeing God.
• 26:33
  And if you have seen Christ, then you have seen God, because
• 26:36
  they are synonymous. They are the same friends, and
• 26:40
  that is what you need to understand is that the powers of
• 26:45
  all the earth have nothing on an Almighty God, and we obey God
• 26:50
  over all of the wicked tyrannical laws that get passed
• 26:56
  that are against God's Word. 28 Through faith He kept the
• 27:02
  Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed
• 27:07
  the first born should touch them.
• 27:09
  So you can see here types and shadows.
• 27:12
  You can see here that the blood of the Lamb applied to the
• 27:15
  lentil of the doorpost kept them as He passed over them, friends,
• 27:21
  and you can see it all pointing to Jesus Christ, and what He was
• 27:25
  going to do for us, as we are covered in the blood of Jesus
• 27:29
  Christ and get passed over from the death Angel.
• 27:34
  Friends. 29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry
• 27:41
  land, which the Egyptians, a saying to do, were drowned.
• 27:45
  So the Israelites had faith that the walls of water that were on
• 27:51
  both sides of them, we're not going to come crashing down upon
• 27:55
  them as they did upon the Egyptians.
• 27:57
  And here the Egyptians and arrogance tried to do the same,
• 28:01
  but the promises to the Israelites were not for them,
• 28:04
  and the walls came crashing down and drowned them.
• 28:08
  Friends, what an amazing thought.
• 28:10
  And as the Israelites got on the other side and they were
• 28:13
  murmuring and wanting to go back into bondage, friends, the ocean
• 28:19
  had already collapsed and there was no going back.
• 28:23
  That is a picture for you and for me as we place our faith in
• 28:26
  the Lord Jesus Christ. We burn the ships, friends,
• 28:31
  because there's no going back. 30 By faith The walls of Jericho
• 28:38
  fell down after they were encompassed about 7 days.
• 28:43
  It took faith not to go in with military might friends.
• 28:48
  It took faith to walk around that city 6 times quiet.
• 28:53
  It took faith to raise up a battle cry on the 7th pass.
• 29:00
  It took faith that God was going to deliver that city into their
• 29:03
  hands. 31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them
• 29:11
  that believe, not when she had received the spies with peace.
• 29:15
  It took faith for this prostitute to believe in the God
• 29:19
  of the Israelites. And we can actually see Rahab in
• 29:23
  the lineage in the genealogy of Christ Jesus.
• 29:26
  What an amazing thought that God can redeem anybody, Friends. 32
• 29:35
  And what shall I more say, For the time would fail me to tell a
• 29:40
  Gideon and Barack, and of Samson and Jeff Day, of David also, and
• 29:45
  Samuel, and of the prophets, 33 who through faith subdued
• 29:51
  kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, and stopped
• 29:56
  the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped
• 30:01
  the edge of the sword out of weakness were made strong.
• 30:06
  They grew valiant in fight, turn to flight the armies of the
• 30:11
  aliens. 35 Women received their dead, raised to life again, and
• 30:16
  others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they
• 30:20
  might obtain a better resurrection.
• 30:23
  That's the hope that we have friends, a better resurrection,
• 30:27
  friends than the resurrection of the dead.
• 30:30
  And they will have to die twice, but you will only have to die
• 30:33
  once, friends, and then into eternal life.
• 30:36
  Praise God, Hallelujah. We're going to put on the
• 30:39
  incorruptible, friends. And you can see here that they
• 30:43
  believed God and God delivered them out of all of their
• 30:47
  afflictions. We love the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 30:50
  Women receiving their dead raise to life again, even though they
• 30:54
  were tortured, they did not care.
• 30:57
  It did not bother them, friends. They said Thank you for taking
• 31:00
  off this earthly tent, so I could put on the unrighteous
• 31:04
  this incorruptible tent. Friends 36 and others had trial
• 31:10
  of cruel mockings and scourgings, yeah, moreover, of
• 31:14
  bonds and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned and sawn in two, and
• 31:19
  were tempted, and were slain with the sword, and wandered
• 31:22
  about in sheepskins and goat skins, being destitute,
• 31:26
  afflicted, and tormented, 38 of whom the world was not worthy,
• 31:33
  they wandered in deserts and mountains and dens and caves of
• 31:37
  the earth. 39 And these all, having obtained a good report
• 31:42
  through faith, received not the promise.
• 31:48
  We're on the other side of this, friends.
• 31:50
  We actually look back towards the promise.
• 31:53
  We know that we know that we know that we know that Jesus
• 31:57
  Christ is the Son of God and we can place our entire faith in
• 32:01
  Him. And they would look forward to
• 32:03
  you and to me who hold Matthew, Mark and Luke and John, the
• 32:07
  Gospels in our hands. And they would ask us, what have
• 32:11
  you done with him? What have you done with the Son
• 32:14
  of God? Friends, I pray that you have
• 32:17
  placed your whole faith in Him and you have propagated Him to
• 32:21
  the ends of the earth. We'll end on 40 God having
• 32:25
  provided some better thing for us, that they without us should
• 32:30
  not be made perfect. We can see the whole scope of
• 32:34
  the whole matter and all of the prophets of old long to see this
• 32:38
  day. And we house and hold the Holy
• 32:41
  Spirit, God Almighty, inside of you.
• 32:45
  Friends, what an amazing thought.
• 32:48
  I hope that you've been blessed by this incredible chapter in
• 32:52
  God's Word, this hall of faith that we got to walk through and
• 32:56
  see. And there's much more to say,
• 32:58
  friends, but suffice to say, get your nose in the book and read
• 33:02
  all the stories and believe it, friends, and apply it to your
• 33:06
  life. And you'll never be put to
• 33:08
  shame. And one day you will rise and
• 33:11
  you will be in glory with him. Praise God, Hallelujah.
• 33:16
  We love Jesus. I'm praying for you.
• 33:22
  I love you. We'll see you back here
• 33:25
  tomorrow. God bless you.
