• 4:43
  STUDYING FOR TODAY'S MESSAGE, IT WAS KIND OF INTERESTING WHERE
• 4:46
  HOW MANY TIMES I NOTICED, WHETHER IT WAS THE GARDEN OF
• 4:51
  GETHSEMANE LEADING UP TO THE TIME OF THE CROSS, AND THEN THAT
• 4:55
  WAITING PERIOD FROM THE CROSS UNTIL THE STONE WAS ROLLED AWAY.
• 5:01
  IT WAS A LOT OF WAITING. AND SO I STARTED LOOKING AT IT GOING,
• 5:06
  WOW, THIS IS THINGS THAT I'VE EXPERIENCED IN WAITING. I TOLD
• 5:10
  YOU THAT WAS ONE OF THE WORDS I HATE WAS WAIT. AND THEN I
• 5:13
  STARTED LOOKING AT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT AND HOW THEY
• 5:16
  REACTED. AND I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT? THOSE ARE GOOD LESSONS IN
• 5:20
  LIFE TO REMEMBER. HOW MANY OF YOU HERE AND THOSE OF YOU THAT

  END OF THE DAY, THE WAITING WAS OVER AND SOMETHING POWERFUL

  YOU EXCITED TO BE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD RESURRECTION

  WEEKEND? HALLELUJAH, COME ON. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY.
• 7:07
  YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING ABOUT, YOU'VE TOUCHED ON THIS BEFORE,
• 7:10
  ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE SO MUCH DISHONOR TO
• 7:15
  GOD HAS EMERGED. BUT I JUST SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? I WANT TODAY TO
• 7:20
  BE A DAY WHERE THE RESURRECTED LORD HEARS THE PRAISES AND THE

• 26:28
  (WORSHIP MUSIC)
• 27:12
  JUST KEEP WORSHIPPING HIM ON THE INSTRUMENTS. WE WORSHIP YOU.
• 27:16
  COME ON, THE GREATEST INSTRUMENT YOU HAVE IS YOUR HEART AND YOUR
• 27:19

  LET OUR RISEN KING AND RISEN SAVIOR KNOW FROM YOUR HEART,
• 27:29
  YOUR MOUTH, HOW MUCH YOU HONOR HIM AND LOVE HIM. AND YOU'RE SO
• 27:36
  GRATEFUL FOR HIS SACRIFICE. WE HONOR YOU, WE WORSHIP YOU, WE
• 27:42
  ARE SO GRATEFUL. LORD, HOW WE LOVE YOU. WE WORSHIP YOU. WE
• 27:53
  WORSHIP YOU. LORD, IN THIS MOMENT, WE STAND IN AWE AND IN
• 28:03
  AMAZEMENT OF OUR LIVING GOD. IN THIS DAY, I PRAY AS WE PRESENT
• 28:12
  OUR HEARTS AFRESH, OUR LIVES AFRESH, IN SURRENDER,
• 28:20
  SUBMISSION, HONOR, OBEDIENCE, SACRIFICE. WE GIVE OUR HEARTS
• 28:28
  AND OUR LIVES TO YOU AFRESH. THAT YOU WOULD BE GLORIFIED,
• 28:35
  THAT YOU WOULD BE HONORED, AND THAT GOD YOU WOULD TAKE OUR
• 28:38
  HEARTS AND OUR LIVES AND YOU WOULD DO SOMETHING SPECIAL WITH
• 28:44
  IT THAT WOULD BRING GLORY AND HONOR TO YOU GOD, BUT WOULD BE A
• 28:49
  BLESSING TO OTHERS. SO THAT THE NAME OF THE LORD CAN BE
• 28:55
  GLORIFIED AND MAGNIFIED THROUGHOUT THE EARTH. AND SO
• 28:59
  THIS DAY, NOT ONLY DOES IT MARK THAT THE STONE WAS ROLLED AWAY
• 29:04
  IN JESUS, THAT YOU'RE ALIVE, BUT THIS DAY IT MARKS THAT THERE IS
• 29:09
  A PEOPLE IN THE EARTH THAT YOU DIED FOR, YOU BLED FOR, JESUS,
• 29:16
  THAT HONORS YOU, APPRECIATES YOU, GIVES THANKS TO YOU, AND
• 29:21
  MOST OF ALL, WE GIVE OUR LIVES TO YOU TO BE OUR LORD AND OUR
• 29:28
  SAVIOR. WHAT AN AMAZING SAVIOR, WHAT AN AMAZING LORD AND GOD.
• 29:42
  AMEN. YOU KNOW, THERE'S TIMES IN OUR LIVES YOU HAVE TO DO THAT.
• 29:48
  WE JUST SAY TO HIM, "HERE IS MY HEART, HERE IS MY LIFE. I GIVE
• 29:55
  IT ALL TO YOU. YOU GAVE IT ALL TO ME, I GIVE IT ALL TO YOU. SO
• 30:00
  THAT GOD, YOU CAN BE GLORIFIED AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANNA DO
• 30:04
  WITH MY LIFE SO THAT HE CAN BE HONORED. ISN'T THAT THE REASON
• 30:10
  WE LIVE? IS WE LIVE FOR HIM? AMEN. WELL, WHY DON'T YOU DO
• 30:14
  THIS? WHY DON'T YOU LOOK FOR SOMEBODY WHO'S LOOKING SHARP, AS
• 30:20
  SOME OF YOU IN HERE, YOU ARE JUST LOOKING SHARP. WHY DON'T
• 30:23
  YOU FIND SOMEBODY, SHARE YOUR NAME, AND YOU KNOW WHAT, TELL
• 30:26
  'EM THIS, TELL 'EM, TELL 'EM THIS, SAY, YOUR FAVORITE
• 30:32
  CHARACTERISTIC ABOUT JESUS THAT YOU LOVE. ALL RIGHT, GREET ONE
• 30:37
  ANOTHER, WE GREET YOU, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AS WELL,
• 30:40
  AND WE ARE SO, SO GRATEFUL. WE LOVE YOU, WE LOVE YOUR
• 30:44
  HEART, YOUR PRAYERS, YOUR SUPPORT, AND JESUS IS ALIVE,
• 30:48
  AND I WANT YOU TO FEEL THAT PRESENCE IN YOUR
• 30:51
  LIFE, BUT WE BLESS YOU TODAY AS WELL.

  AND OFFERINGS. IT'S ALSO OUR PASSOVER GIVING TIME. SO I DO
• 35:51
  WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU ARE WANTING TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT,
• 35:56
  THAT YOU CAN PARTICIPATE, AND I'LL TELL YOU HOW TO PARTICIPATE
• 35:59
  IN THAT IN A MINUTE. BUT I WANNA GO BACK TO SOMETHING. YOU KNOW,
• 36:03
  FRIDAY NIGHT WE TALKED ABOUT THE BLESSINGS OF FEAST GIVING. AND
• 36:08
  HOW MANY OF YOU JUST LOVED THE LONG LIVE THE KING AND THE
• 36:10
  SLIDES THAT WERE COMING UP? AND AS I LOOKED AT THOSE, I THOUGHT,
• 36:14
  YOU KNOW, JESUS, ALL YOU'VE EVER EXHIBITED IS HOW MUCH YOU LOVE
• 36:20
  TO BLESS. YOU THINK ABOUT THAT. AS HE'S HANGING THERE ON A
• 36:23
  CROSS, AS HE'S BEING BEATEN, WHIPPED, YOU KNOW, GAVE, THE
• 36:30
  BIBLE SAYS HE GAVE HIS BACK TO THE SMITERS. AS HE CHOSE TO DO
• 36:35
  ALL THAT, IT WAS TO BLESS US. AND AS I LOOK AT THE BIBLE, YOU
• 36:41
  KNOW, I CAN'T, THERE'S, YOU COULD HARDLY TURN A PAGE. I
• 36:46
  MEAN, YEAH, THERE'S THE, SOME OF THEM, MAYBE LEVITICUS, THE
• 36:49
  GENEALOGIES AND ALL OF THAT. BUT I'M JUST SAYING, IT'S HARD TO
• 36:53
  TURN A PAGE IN SCRIPTURE AND NOT FIND A PLACE WHERE GOD, GOD'S
• 37:00
  INTENT TO BLESS US, HEAL US, COME ON, DELIVER US IS NOT
• 37:07
  PENNED IN THE PAGES OF SCRIPTURE. IT'S THROUGHOUT THE
• 37:10
  BIBLE. AND AS I WAS TALKING FRIDAY NIGHT, AND I'LL READ
• 37:15
  THESE BLESSINGS AGAIN, BUT I WANT YOU TO THINK OF IT IN THIS
• 37:18
  LIGHT OF PASSOVER GIVING TIME, THE FEAST GIVING SEASONS. IT'S
• 37:23
  ALWAYS AGAIN ENCAPSULATED IN BLESSING, GOD WANTING TO BLESS.
• 37:28
  AND IT JUST AMAZES ME. I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT SCRIPTURE.
• 37:33
  IT SAYS GOD MAKES THE RAIN TO DESCEND ON THE EVIL AND THE
• 37:38
  GOOD. GOD EVEN BLESSES THE WICKED. YOU THINK ABOUT THAT. HE
• 37:43
  EVEN, THOSE THAT EVEN CURSE HIM, HE ALLOWS HIS BLESSING TO COME
• 37:48
  ON THEIR LIFE. GOD IS A GOD THAT LOVES TO BLESS. AND DON'T EVER
• 37:52
  THINK THAT IN YOUR LIFE, YOU KNOW, WE THINK, WELL, I HAVE TO
• 37:56
  BE PERFECT. I HAVE TO DO ALL THESE THINGS. AND IT'S
• 37:58
  IMPORTANT. WE'VE GOT TO PLEASE GOD. THE SCRIPTURE TALKS ABOUT
• 38:02
  THAT IN EPHESIANS, THAT WE DO THINGS THAT PLEASE THE LORD. SO
• 38:06
  IT'S IMPORTANT, OUR ACTIONS ARE IMPORTANT. BUT WHAT WE HAVE TO
• 38:10
  REMEMBER IS WE DON'T HAVE TO ATTAIN PERFECTION. THAT'S WHAT
• 38:16
  JESUS' SACRIFICE WAS ABOUT. WE'RE NOT ATTAINING PERFECTION
• 38:20
  TO RECEIVE HIS BLESSING. PASTOR AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT THE
• 38:24
  SCRIPTURE WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE LORD'S BENEFITS IN PSALM
• 38:26
  103. AND DO YOU EVER NOTICE IN THERE, HE FORGIVES ALL OF OUR
• 38:31
  INIQUITIES, BUT IT SAYS FIRST HE HEALS US OF ALL OUR DISEASES.
• 38:35
  THE HEALING COMES BEFORE THE FORGIVENESS. WE DON'T HAVE TO BE
• 38:39
  FORGIVEN IN ORDER TO BE HEALED. GOD HEALS PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HIS
• 38:45
  LOVE FOR PEOPLE. IF YOU READ THE LORD'S SUPPER OR THE LORD'S
• 38:50
  PRAYER, EXCUSE ME, IF YOU READ THE LORD'S PRAYER, IT SAYS,
• 38:54
  "LORD, GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD." IN OTHER WORDS,
• 38:57
  GOD, WE'RE ASKING YOU FOR YOUR BLESSING AND THEN THE REQUEST TO
• 39:02
  BE FORGIVEN COMES AFTER. WELL, YOU MEAN YOU SHOULD JUST TAKE
• 39:06
  FROM GOD AND THEN REPENT LATER? WELL, THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M
• 39:11
  SAYING. WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT WE HONOR GOD, YES, BUT
• 39:17
  HE IS SO DISPOSED AND COMMITTED TO SHOW FAVORS. GOD IS A GOD OF
• 39:24
  BLESSING. WRITE THAT DOWN AND UNDERLINE IT. HE LOVES TO BLESS.
• 39:30
  AND SO I WAS THINKING OF THAT THIS MORNING. I'M GONNA READ
• 39:33
  AGAIN, THESE BLESSINGS OF FEAST GIVING. THE BLESSINGS, GOD, YOU
• 39:38
  KNOW, GOD DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. HE TELLS US TO TITHE. YOU KNOW,
• 39:41
  THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT TITHING AND OFFERINGS, BUT IF YOU READ
• 39:46
  MALACHI, MANY OF YOU HAVE IT MEMORIZED IN THIS ROOM, IF YOU
• 39:48
  READ IT, YOU'LL FIND THAT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT IS SOME MORE
• 39:51
  BLESSINGS. THINK ABOUT IT, TITHES AND OFFERINGS. GOD SAID,
• 39:55
  "IF YOU'LL DO IT, "I WILL OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN." I
• 39:58
  THOUGHT, LORD, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, TO HAVE THE
• 40:03
  WHOLE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN OPENED OVER MY LIFE. NOW, SOME OF YOU
• 40:06
  HAVE HEARD ME TELL THIS STORY. I'LL READ THESE IN A MOMENT, BUT
• 40:09
  SOME OF YOU HAVE HEARD ME TELL THE STORY. I DID HAVE ONE LITTLE
• 40:12
  EXAMPLE THAT I'LL NEVER, AND YOU KNOW, WELL, IT GOES ON IN
• 40:15
  MALACHI, AND IT SAYS, "YOU'LL NOT HAVE ROOM ENOUGH "TO RECEIVE
• 40:18
  THE BLESSING." AND I THOUGHT, LORD, WHAT DOES THAT FEEL LIKE?
• 40:21
  WELL, ONE YEAR, MANY YEARS AGO, PASTOR AND I WERE JUST GETTING
• 40:24
  STARTED IN THE MINISTRY. MATTHEW WAS JUST A BABY, AND YOU KNOW,
• 40:30
  IT WAS, YOU KNOW, WE PINCHED EVERY PENNY. WE WERE, YOU KNOW,
• 40:33
  USING THE CALCULATOR AT THE GROCERY STORE. HOW MANY OF YOU
• 40:35
  EVER BEEN THERE? AND THEN YOU PUT SOME STUFF IN YOUR BASKET
• 40:38
  AND YOUR CALCULATOR WENT OVER THE AMOUNT YOU HAD TO SPEND AND
• 40:41
  SO YOU HAD TO PUT SOMETHING BACK. ANYBODY EVER BEEN THERE?
• 40:45
  I'M THE ONLY ONE. YOU THOUGHT, I GOTTA PUT THAT BACK. I CAN'T GET
• 40:47
  THAT. AND SO MANY OF OUR DAYS WERE LIKE THAT. WELL, WE HAD
• 40:52
  THIS FARMER CALL US AND SAID, YOU KNOW, I HAVE JUST BUTCHERED
• 40:57
  THIS COW. IT WAS A QUARTER SIDE OR SOMETHING. AND IN THE HOUSE
• 41:01
  WE LIVED IN, WE JUST HAD ONE OF A REALLY SMALL REFRIGERATOR. IT
• 41:04
  WAS THIS LITTLE REFRIGERATOR AND IT HAD THE FREEZER ON TOP. YOU
• 41:08
  KNOW, THIS WAS BEFORE THE SIDE BY SIDES. I THINK THEY WERE JUST
• 41:10
  BARELY COMING OUT AT THAT TIME. AND IT WAS NOT VERY BIG. AND
• 41:14
  THIS FARMER CALLED AND HE SAYS, "I'VE GOT THIS WHOLE QUARTER
• 41:16
  SIDE. "I'M GONNA BRING IT TO YOU." AND I'M ON THE PHONE AND I
• 41:21
  SAID, "WE DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR IT." AND HE SAID, "WELL, I GUESS
• 41:26
  YOU JUST GOT A BLESSING. "YOU DON'T HAVE ROOM TO RECEIVE." I
• 41:31
  SAID, "WELL, AND HOW DO YOU SAY NO TO THAT? "LIKE GOD'S TRYING
• 41:35
  TO BLESS YOU AND YOU TELL GOD NO." SO PASTOR WAS AT WORK AND I
• 41:40
  CALLED HIM AND I SAID, "HONEY, YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE WHAT'S
• 41:42
  JUST HAPPENED. "WE'VE GOT THIS." AND HE GOES, "WELL, I GUESS THAT
• 41:45
  MEANS "WE HAVE TO GO BUY A FREEZER." NOW WATCH THIS, WE
• 41:48
  WENT TO, IT DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE, SEARS AND ROEBUCK,
• 41:52
  REMEMBER THEM? THEY WERE KIND OF LIKE THE APPLIANCE KING. BY THE
• 41:56
  WAY, IF YOU STILL HAVE A SEARS WASHER, IT'S PROBABLY 35 YEARS
• 42:00
  OLD AND IT PROBABLY STILL WORKS. I PROMISE YOU. SO THAT LITTLE
• 42:05
  FREEZER, WE WENT AND BOUGHT IT AND WE HAD TO CHARGE IT ON A
• 42:10
  SEARS CHARGE CARD. YOU KNOW, WE HAD TO CHARGE TO GET THE
• 42:16
  BLESSING. LIKE, WHAT IS UP WITH THAT? SO, AND I REMEMBER THE
• 42:22
  PRICE TOO. YOU KNOW, THESE THINGS STICK IN MY MIND. IT WAS
• 42:24
  A $700, WAY BACK THEN, FREEZER, WE WENT AND BOUGHT AT SEARS, A
• 42:31
  LITTLE UPRIGHT, ALL FREEZER, SO WE COULD FIT THE BLESSING WE
• 42:35
  DIDN'T HAVE ROOM TO RECEIVE. AND THAT FARMER CAME, BROUGHT A
• 42:40
  BUNCH OF COOLERS WITH ALL OF THAT MEAT, AND WE FILLED THAT
• 42:42
  FREEZER. I THOUGHT, WELL, LORD, WE JUST WENT IN DEBT TO RECEIVE
• 42:47
  THE BLESSING. BUT YOU KNOW, GOD HAD IT PLANNED. YOU THINK WE
• 42:52
  PAID THAT OFF YEARS LATER? OF COURSE. GOD JUST KNOWS WHAT HE
• 42:56
  IS DOING. AND SO I'M JUST TELLING YOU, GOD LOVES TO BLESS
• 43:00
  AND HE WILL DO THINGS YOU DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR. SAY, WELL, PASTOR
• 43:03
  BRENDA, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHEN THAT HAPPENS IN MY LIFE. WELL,
• 43:07
  DO YOU HAVE FAITH FOR IT? YOU KNOW, YOU THINK ABOUT EVERY TIME
• 43:10
  YOU TITHE, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE DONE THIS? EVERY TIME YOU GIVE
• 43:12
  YOUR TITHE OR MAYBE YOU'RE GIVEN A FEAST OFFERING AND YOU SAY
• 43:15
  THINGS LIKE, "LORD, I RECEIVE AN OPEN HEAVEN." HOW MANY OF YOU
• 43:19
  EVER PRAYED THAT? COME ON. HOW MANY OF YOU EVER SAID, "LORD, I
• 43:22
  BELIEVE I WILL HAVE BLESSINGS THAT I WON'T HAVE ROOM TO
• 43:25
  RECEIVE." HOW MANY OF YOU EVER PRAYED LIKE THAT? BUT THEN WHEN
• 43:29
  IT COMES, DO WE BELIEVE IT? AND THAT DAY WE HARDLY BELIEVED IT,
• 43:35
  BUT GOD DID IT. AND SO BE IN EXPECTATION. GOD LOVES TO BLESS.
• 43:39
  WE SAW IT ALL OVER THE SLIDES THIS MORNING, A GOD WHO IS
• 43:42
  COMMITTED TO BLESS. SO CAN I READ THESE BLESSINGS TO YOU
• 43:46
  AGAIN? ALL RIGHT. THESE ARE THE BLESSINGS THAT COME OF GIVING AT
• 43:51
  FEAST TIME. THIS IS GOD'S CHARACTER. I JUST CANNOT STOP
• 43:54
  SMILING WHEN I READ IT. EXODUS 23, ALL OF THESE ARE WRITTEN IN
• 43:59
  THERE. NUMBER ONE, GOD SAID, I WILL SEND MY ANGEL. HOW MANY OF
• 44:06
  YOU WOULD LOVE TO SAY I COULD USE ANGELS AROUND MY LIFE? OKAY.
• 44:10
  I WAS WORRIED ABOUT SOMETHING ONE NIGHT. I THOUGHT, OH LORD,
• 44:12
  DID I, I FORGOT. YOU KNOW, HAVE YOU EVER GONE OUT OF TOWN? IN
• 44:15
  FACT, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. HAVE YOU EVER GONE OUT OF TOWN
• 44:18
  AND THINK, DID I LOCK THE HOUSE? I MEAN, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
• 44:20
  THERE? AND YOU'RE GONE ON THE PLANE ALREADY AND YOU'RE LIKE,
• 44:25
  AND IT'S TWO AND YOU KNOW, THE THING OF IT, IT ALWAYS HAPPENS
• 44:28
  AT 2 A.M. YOU REMEMBER AT TWO IN THE MORNING OR WHATEVER, YOU'RE
• 44:31
  ALREADY THERE IN THE HOTEL. AND I'M THINKING, LORD, AND THE LORD
• 44:35
  SAID, "MY ANGELS GOT IT." NOW I HAD LOCKED IT, BUT MY ANGELS GOT
• 44:39
  IT. SEE, THIS IS HOW GOD IS. SO GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS. WHEN
• 44:44
  YOU GET IN YOUR CAR TO DRIVE, GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS. THAT'S
• 44:47
  WHAT I LOVE ABOUT PASTOR. EVERY TIME WE GET IN, HE SAYS, "NOPE,
• 44:49
  THE ANGELS ARE GOING BEFORE US." OKAY, WE'LL NEVER BE IN AN
• 44:52
  ACCIDENT, CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. COME ON, WE HAVE TO CLAIM THOSE
• 44:56
  THINGS, RIGHT? DON'T LEAVE YOURSELF OPEN, PRAY TO THE
• 44:59
  ENEMY. GOD SAID, "I WILL BRING YOU TO THE PLACE I'VE PREPARED."
• 45:03
  WELL, THAT'S PURPOSE. YOU'LL BE GUIDED BY GOD. I WANT THAT IN MY
• 45:08
  LIFE, 'CAUSE I DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHAT TO DO. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
• 45:11
  THERE? YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. SO YOU JUST SAY, "LORD, I
• 45:14
  BELIEVE YOU'RE GONNA GET ME "ON TRACK WHEREVER I NEED TO GO."
• 45:17
  AND YOU KNOW WHAT I FOUND OUT ABOUT GOD? WE CAN EVEN TAKE A
• 45:20
  STUPID DETOUR SOMETIME, AND GOD WILL GET YOU RIGHT BACK WHERE
• 45:23
  YOU STARTED, AND HE'LL GET YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO GO. ISN'T THAT
• 45:26
  GOOD? BECAUSE HE LOVES TO BLESS. TOUCH YOURSELF AND SAY YOUR
• 45:29
  NAME. SAY, GOD, YOU LOVE TO BLESS. AND NOW SAY YOUR NAME.
• 45:36
  YOU PUT A NAME ON IT. LET ME READ THE REST OF THESE QUICKLY.
• 45:39
  HE SAID, I'LL BE AN ENEMY TO YOUR ENEMIES. COME ON, DON'T
• 45:42
  WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT THE DEVIL. COME ON, THE LORD OF THE
• 45:45
  COUNTER. YOU HAVE AUTHORITY OVER SATAN. USE IT. CAST HIM OUT.
• 45:52
  DEVIL, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE. GET OFF MY FINANCES, GET OUT OF MY
• 45:56
  BODY. COME ON, GET OFF MY CHILDREN, GET OFF MY SPOUSE. I
• 46:00
  BIND YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS. I'LL BE AN ENEMY TO YOUR
• 46:05
  ENEMIES. THAT'S ONE OF GOD'S BLESSINGS. NEXT ONE, I'LL BLESS
• 46:08
  YOUR BREAD AND YOUR WATER. THAT'S WHY JESUS COULD SAY, YOU
• 46:11
  DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE GONNA EAT OR WHAT YOU'RE
• 46:13
  GONNA WEAR. I MEAN, IT'S RESURRECTION SUNDAY. WE ALL HAD
• 46:16
  TO THINK A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT WE WANTED TO WEAR. ALL RIGHT, THAT
• 46:19
  WAS A JOKE. BUT GOD WILL PROVIDE FOR YOU. SO IF YOU'RE IN A
• 46:25
  SEASON WHERE IT SEEMS LIKE MONEY IS TIGHT, JUST KNOW THAT GOD
• 46:29
  WILL PROVIDE. TRUST HIM IN THAT. THAT'S WHY PAUL SAID, "I KNOW
• 46:34
  HOW TO BE A BASE AND I KNOW HOW TO ABOUND. I KNOW HOW TO RIDE
• 46:38
  THROUGH THE SEASONS WHERE PROVISION SEEMS LITTLE, BUT I
• 46:42
  KNOW HOW TO RIDE THE WAVE WHEN IT'S ABUNDANT. I KNOW HOW TO DO
• 46:46
  BOTH BECAUSE I'VE LEARNED TO TRUST THE GOD THAT LOVES TO
• 46:48
  BLESS. HALLELUJAH! ALL RIGHT, VERY QUICKLY, I'LL TAKE SICKNESS
• 46:53
  AWAY FROM YOU. THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T MAKE HEALING A HARD THING.
• 46:57
  GOD SAID, "I WANT TO, I'LL HEAL YOU." COME ON, HEALING
• 47:00
  SCRIPTURES ARE PLASTERED THROUGH THE BIBLE. GOD LOVES TO HEAL.
• 47:05
  MATTHEW 12:15, WRITE THIS SCRIPTURE DOWN. IT SAYS, "AND
• 47:09
  JESUS HEALED THEM ALL." MEMORIZE THAT. HE DIDN'T PICK AND CHOOSE,
• 47:16
  HE HEALED THEM ALL. NEXT ONE IS, "NONE SHALL BE BARREN." THAT
• 47:19
  COULD BE NATURAL IF YOU'RE TRYING TO HAVE CHILDREN, OR IT'S
• 47:22
  ALSO THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BEAR FRUIT AS A CHRISTIAN AND A
• 47:25
  BELIEVER. YOU'LL LIVE A LONG LIFE. OKAY? DON'T JUST RESORT
• 47:31
  TO, "WELL, IT WAS THEIR TIME." NO, GOD IS NOT ABOUT PREMATURE
• 47:35
  DEATH. NOW, I DON'T HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN IT TODAY. IN FACT, IT'S
• 47:39
  IN MY MANUSCRIPT COMING OUT ON COMMANDING PEACE, AND I TALK
• 47:44
  ABOUT THE BLESSING OF LONG LIFE IN THERE AND THINGS THAT DO TAKE
• 47:46
  PEOPLE OUT, BUT GOD'S INTENT IS ALWAYS FOR US TO LIVE THE FULL
• 47:49
  LENGTH OF DAYS. THAT'S GOD'S BLESSING. HE LOVES TO BLESS. SAY
• 47:54
  YOUR NAME AGAIN. SAY YOUR NAME. SAY, GOD LOVES TO BLESS YOU.
• 48:01
  LAST ONE, YOU WILL HAVE INFLUENCE AND FAVOR. GOD SAID, I
• 48:05
  WILL SEND MY FEAR BEFORE YOU. JUST KNOW THAT GOD GOES BEFORE
• 48:09
  US. HE IS THE GOD THAT LOVES TO BLESS. AMEN. ARE YOU READY TO
• 48:12
  GIVE IN THAT ATMOSPHERE? ALL RIGHT, LET'S PUT THE GIVING
• 48:15
  INFORMATION UP ON THE SCREEN FOR EVERYBODY AROUND THE WORLD. AND
• 48:20
  IF YOU'RE GIVING YOUR PASSOVER OFFERING AND YOU WANT TO SOW
• 48:23
  INTO THAT KEY TIME, THIS IS WHAT WE READ ABOUT WAS THE KEY
• 48:27
  BLESSINGS OF FEAST GIVING. THERE'S AN ENVELOPE ON YOUR
• 48:30
  CHAIR OR THERE'S A PLACE THAT SAYS PASSOVER RESURRECTION
• 48:33
  OFFERING UP ON THE DROP DOWN. AND YOU CAN GIVE THERE AS WELL
• 48:38
  AND THE QR CODE TO GIVE. IF YOU HAVE YOUR OFFERING READY, YOU
• 48:42
  CAN GO AHEAD AND STAND OR IF YOU'RE STILL WRITING, I'LL GIVE
• 48:44
  YOU JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES. AND I'M EXCITED. WE'RE GONNA,
• 48:47
  I'M GONNA PRAY OVER YOU FIRST, WE'RE GONNA DO THAT. AND THEN
• 48:50
  WE'RE GONNA KIND OF LIKE NOT DO OUR NORMAL DECREE BECAUSE OUR
• 48:53
  WORSHIP TEAM HAS PUT TOGETHER AN AMAZING MUSIC SPECIAL. THEY'RE
• 48:58
  GONNA SING A SONG, BUT LET'S JUST DO THIS. IF YOU HAVE YOUR
• 49:00
  OFFERING READY AND YOU'RE READY TO STAND, LET'S STAND UP AND
• 49:04
  HOLD IT UP HIGH. AND I WANT YOU TO JUST PAUSE AND THINK FOR A
• 49:08
  MOMENT AND REMIND YOURSELF THAT GOD LOVES TO BLESS YOU. OKAY,
• 49:13
  MAYBE YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE SPIRIT OF FAILURE TODAY AND YOU
• 49:16
  FEEL LIKE, WELL, GOD, I'VE DONE ALL OF THESE THINGS. I JUST NEED
• 49:19
  TO MAKE A SHIFT. REMIND YOURSELF, GOD LOVES TO BLESS. IF
• 49:25
  YOU'VE MESSED UP, MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN AWAY FROM GOD. IF YOU'RE
• 49:28
  HERE OR YOU'RE ONLINE, MAYBE YOU'VE MADE SOME MISTAKES. DON'T
• 49:32
  RUN FROM GOD TODAY, RUN TO HIM. RUN TO THE ARMS OF JESUS. HE IS
• 49:37
  WAITING TO RECEIVE YOU. AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO, MAYBE YOU'VE
• 49:41
  NEVER ASKED JESUS TO COME IN YOUR HEART AND FORGIVE YOUR SINS
• 49:45
  AND BE THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SAY,
• 49:48
  JESUS, COME IN MY HEART. IN FACT, I FEEL THE ANOINTING. I
• 49:51
  THINK WE OUGHT TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW. IF YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM AND
• 49:54
  YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN BORN AGAIN, YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN SAVED, MAYBE
• 49:58
  YOU'RE AWAY OR YOU'RE AWAY FROM THE LORD. THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE
• 50:01
  WATCHING ONLINE, IT IS NOT HARD TO COME BACK TO GOD. AND I'M
• 50:05
  JUST GONNA SAY IT FOR THE RECORD. HE IS WAITING FOR YOU
• 50:08
  TODAY. HE IS WAITING FOR YOU TODAY. HE'S WAITING FOR YOU.
• 50:14
  HE'S BEEN WAITING. HE'S CALLING YOUR NAME. SO IF THAT'S YOU,
• 50:18
  LET'S JUST PRAY. I'M GOING TO PRAY THE SINNER'S PRAYER. I WANT
• 50:21
  ALL OF US TO PRAY IT TOGETHER. I FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT THE LORD
• 50:24
  WANTS US TO DO RIGHT NOW. CAN YOU DO THAT AT OFFERING TIME?
• 50:27
  YOU COULD DO THAT AT ANY TIME. SO IF YOU NEED TO COME BACK TO
• 50:30
  GOD TODAY, BEFORE WE EVEN GIVE, I WANT YOU TO HAVE THAT
• 50:34
  OPPORTUNITY. I WANT YOU TO SAY THESE WORDS. I MEAN THEM WITH
• 50:36
  EVERY OUNCE OF YOUR HEART AND YOUR SOUL. SAY THESE WORDS. SAY,
• 50:40
  "LORD JESUS, I BELIEVE IN YOU. YOU DIED FOR ME. AND ON THE
• 50:47
  THIRD DAY, YOU WERE RAISED." THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CELEBRATING
• 50:51
  TODAY. AND JESUS, I JUST WANT TO SAY, I NEED YOU. I NEED YOU IN
• 50:58
  MY LIFE. I ASK YOU TO COME INTO MY HEART. WASH AWAY ALL MY SINS.
• 51:07
  GOD, I NEED A DO-OVER. I NEED TO START FRESH. AND I TRUST YOU
• 51:14
  TODAY THAT YOU WILL TAKE MY SINS, ALL MY WRONGDOING, AND
• 51:20
  THROW IT AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST. THAT'S WHAT THE
• 51:24
  BIBLE SAYS. JESUS, I COMMIT MYSELF TO YOU IN A FRESH WAY. I
• 51:32
  CALL YOU MY LORD. I CALL YOU MY SAVIOR. I CALL YOU MY MASTER.
• 51:39
  AND I MAKE A COMMITMENT AND A VOW TODAY TO SERVE YOU TO THE
• 51:44
  BEST OF MY ABILITY. I TURN FROM MY PAST. I TURN FROM MY SINS AND
• 51:52
  I TURN TO YOU. THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR LOVING ME. IN JESUS' NAME,
• 52:00
  AMEN. WOO! HALLELUJAH! IF YOU PRAYED THAT, THEY'LL BE POSTING
• 52:07
  ONLINE. IF YOU'RE ONLINE, AND PASTOR DOUG, AT THE END OF THE
• 52:10
  SERVICE, WE'LL HAVE PRAYER ALTAR WORKERS WILL BE READY TO HELP
• 52:14
  YOU AND GET STARTED ON YOUR JOURNEY. AND BY THE WAY, GET TO
• 52:17
  KNOW CHRISTIANS. DON'T HANG AROUND ALL THOSE FOOLS OUT THERE
• 52:20
  ANYMORE. GET AROUND SOME GOOD QUALITY FOLKS. WELL, YEAH, BUT
• 52:25
  CHURCH PEOPLE ARE HYPOCRITES. COME ON, IF YOU THINK THAT, THEN
• 52:29
  YOU'RE ALREADY MESSED UP. DON'T DO THAT. COME, THERE ARE GOOD
• 52:32
  CHURCH PEOPLE. ARE THEY PERFECT? NO. IT'S LIKE ONE GUY SAID, I
• 52:35
  THOUGHT ALL CHRISTIANS HAD ANGEL WINGS SPROUTING OUT, AND I FOUND
• 52:39
  OUT THEY WERE JUST SHOULDER BLADES. ALL RIGHT, HOLD YOUR
• 52:44
  OFFERING UP REAL HIGH. THAT WAS GOOD. HOLD IT UP HIGH. SAY THIS,
• 52:50
  SAY, LORD, THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BLESSING ME. I TRUST THAT YOU
• 52:56
  ARE A GOD WHO LOVES TO BLESS. BLESS ME TODAY. I BELIEVE ALL
• 53:01
  THE BLESSINGS IN THE BIBLE. AND AS I GIVE THIS OFFERING TODAY, I
• 53:07
  THANK YOU THAT ALL THE BLESSINGS CONNECTED TO IT THAT YOU WROTE
• 53:12
  IN SCRIPTURE WILL BE A REALITY IN MY LIFE, AND I THANK YOU FOR
• 53:17
  IT. COME ON, GIVE HIM A GREAT BIG SHOUT AS THE USHERS SERVE
• 53:20
  YOU, AND LET'S WELCOME OUR WORSHIP TEAM.
• 53:23
  (WORSHIP MUSIC)
• 56:14
  (WORSHIP MUSIC)
• 56:19
  HALLELUJAH, GIVE HIM SOME PRAISE THIS MORNING. WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR
• 56:25
  YOUR LOVE, LORD. WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT SACRIFICE YOU GAVE US.
• 56:33
  AMEN, AMEN, AMEN. WELL, BEFORE PASTOR HANK COMES UP, I GOTTA
• 56:38
  MENTION ONE QUICK THING. I FORGOT TO MENTION IT EARLIER. I
• 56:48
  AM, I'M PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS, SO I WANT YOU ALL TO
• 56:55
  SUPPORT IT. WE HAVE A SPECIAL IN THE CAFE THIS MORNING. PUT THE
• 57:00
  PICTURE UP. AND I WANT YOU ALL TO GO BUY THEM. CAN YOU DO THAT
• 57:07
  FOR ME? SO I DON'T LOOK BAD FOR ALICIA. SHE WORKS SO HARD. SHE
• 57:13
  PUT THESE TOGETHER. I ASKED HER TO PUT THEM TOGETHER. I THOUGHT
• 57:16
  THEY WERE CUTE. GO OUT AND GET THEM FROM THE CAFE AFTER
• 57:21
  SERVICE. I THOUGHT THEY WERE ADORABLE. SO GO SUPPORT THEM AS
• 57:28
  PASTOR HANK COMES. ALL RIGHT. I THINK YOU OUGHT TO GO OUT AND
• 57:32
  GET ONE OF THOSE. AMEN. WELL, GIVE SOMEBODY AROUND YOU A
• 57:36
  KNUCKLE TOUCH, FIST PUNCH. THAT'S GOOD. SO DID THEY MAKE
• 57:44
  THOSE THINGS? IS THAT RIGHT? WOW, THAT'S PRETTY CREATIVE, I
• 57:46
  LIKE THAT. THAT'S REALLY GOOD. BRENDA MADE ME LAMB STEW FOR
• 57:52
  PASSOVER, MAN. SHE'S A FANTASTIC COOK, IT WAS REALLY, REALLY
• 57:56
  GOOD. AND EVEN HAD IT, IT WAS SO GOOD, I HAD IT TWICE FOR
• 57:59
  LEFTOVERS. SO, AND TALKING ABOUT PASTOR BRENDA, YOU KNOW, JESUS
• 58:06
  2,000 YEARS AGO, OVER 2,000 YEARS AGO, ROLLED AWAY THE
• 58:10
  STONE. 37 YEARS AGO, I PRESENTED THE STONE.
• 58:15
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 58:17
  AMEN, I DID, YOU LIKE THAT? YEAH, SO 37 YEARS AGO, ON
• 58:23
  RESURRECTION SUNDAY, I PROPOSED TO MY LADY. AND I WAS DRESSED
• 58:30
  LIKE JESUS. NOW, LET ME JUST SAY THIS, I DIDN'T GO OUT AND GET A
• 58:33
  JESUS EASTER COSTUME SO I COULD PROPOSE TO HER, I WAS PLAYING
• 58:38
  JESUS IN A EASTER DRAMA. BILL, YOU REMEMBER THAT, YEAH. AND
• 58:45
  MATTHEW, YOU LOOKED A LOT LIKE HOW I DID WHEN I PORTRAYED
• 58:49
  JESUS. SO, BUT ANYWAY, IN FACT, WHEN I MET JIM CAVIEZEL, I TOLD
• 58:54
  HIM, I SAID, WELL, JIM, SORRY THAT YOU HAVE COMPETITION.
• 59:00
  YOU'RE ALL LAUGHING, I WASN'T. NO, NO, I'M MESSING. I HAD A
• 59:03
  FAKE BEARD 'CAUSE I CAN'T GROW A BEARD. EVERY TIME I'D TALK, THE
• 59:07
  DISCIPLES WOULD LAUGH 'CAUSE IT'D GO LIKE THIS. 'CAUSE THE
• 59:10
  GLUE WOULD SEPARATE FROM MY NERVOUS SWEAT. SO ANYWAY, BOB,
• 59:14
  YOU AND TASHA WERE THERE. AND I WAS LIKE, OKAY, SO AFTER THE
• 59:20
  RESURRECTION PLAY AND EVERYTHING, I TOLD BRENDA, I
• 59:24
  SAID, "MEET ME IN THE UPPER ROOM." AND I SAID, "THEN WE'LL
• 59:29
  GO TO YOUR PARENTS FOR LUNCH." SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS COMING
• 59:33
  AND WHAT WAS ABOUT TO ENTER INTO THE UPPER ROOM. AND JUST LIKE
• 59:37
  JESUS, I WALKED IN LIKE THIS. SHE LOOKED AT ME, AND I KNELT
• 59:43
  DOWN, AND I ASKED HER TO MARRY ME. AND YOU KNOW WHAT SHE SAID?
• 59:51
  "I WILL FOR THE ROCK." NO, SHE DIDN'T, SHE DIDN'T. NO, SHE SAID
• 59:56
  YES, AND OUR FIRST RINGS WERE $99 AT SERVICE MERCHANDISE. IT
• 1:00:00
  WAS SO LITTLE, YOU COULDN'T EVEN SEE IT. ANYWAY, THANK YOU FOR
• 1:00:04
  SAYING YES. IT'S BEEN A GREAT 37 YEARS, BUT ANYWAY. SO, YEAH, I
• 1:00:10
  FIGURED IT THIS WAY. HOW CAN YOU TURN SOMEBODY DOWN WHO LOOKED
• 1:00:14
  AND ACTED LIKE JESUS, ESPECIALLY WITH MARRIAGE, I MEAN... I MEAN,
• 1:00:20
  I JUST FEEL LIKE AS I'M SITTING HERE, Y'ALL ARE JUST LIKE, HUH?
• 1:00:22
  OKAY, NEVER MIND. MUST BE THE DAY. BUT I JUST WANTED TO HONOR
• 1:00:26
  GOD AND HONOR THAT. ALL RIGHT, I WANT YOU TO OPEN YOUR BIBLES,
• 1:00:29
  PLEASE, TO, WE'LL GO TO MARK CHAPTER, LET'S GO TO MARK
• 1:00:37
  CHAPTER 15, VERSE 37. WE'LL START THERE. AND THANK YOU FOR
• 1:00:42
  BEING HERE TODAY. AND THIS IS A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE BECAUSE
• 1:00:47
  HE'S ALIVE, AMEN? NOW, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY AS
• 1:00:52
  YOU'RE OPENING YOUR BIBLE, WE MENTIONED EARLIER, IS THERE
• 1:00:56
  SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU'RE WAITING FOR? IS THERE
• 1:01:00
  SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU HAVE MAYBE GIVEN UP ON? MAYBE
• 1:01:05
  YOU FELT HOPELESS OR YOU FEEL HOPELESS ABOUT IT. YOU'RE LIKE,
• 1:01:08
  YOU KNOW, I'M JUST TIRED OF WAITING. IS THAT THING EVER
• 1:01:11
  GONNA HAPPEN? SOMETIMES, AND WE'RE GONNA FIND IN THIS MESSAGE
• 1:01:15
  TODAY THAT WHEN WE ARE IN A SEASON OF WAITING OR WE'RE
• 1:01:18
  WAITING FOR SOMETHING, THAT WE TOO CAN DOUBT. WE TOO CAN STOP
• 1:01:25
  BELIEVING IN THE MIRACULOUS. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA FIND IN
• 1:01:29
  THE STORIES THAT WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT, THE DIFFERENT EXAMPLES.
• 1:01:32
  BUT I WANT US TO LOOK AT MARK CHAPTER 15, VERSE 37. I WANNA
• 1:01:35
  BRING US BACK TO WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE THE RESURRECTION. AND
• 1:01:40
  JESUS CRIED, VERSE 37, WITH A LOUD VOICE, AND HE SAID, "IT IS
• 1:01:45
  FINISHED," AND GAVE UP THE GHOST. AND THE VEIL OF THE
• 1:01:49
  TEMPLE WAS RENT IN TWO, FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM. AND WHEN THE
• 1:01:53
  CENTURION WHICH STOOD OVER AGAINST HIM SAW THAT, HE CRIED
• 1:01:57
  OUT AND GAVE UP THE GHOST. HE SAID, "TRULY THIS MAN WAS THE
• 1:02:03
  SON OF GOD." POWERFUL. ALL RIGHT, I WANT YOU JUST TO COME
• 1:02:10
  DOWN TO VERSE 46. THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION THERE, WHICH IS
• 1:02:13
  ALL GOOD. YOU COULD READ IT. THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT IN THE
• 1:02:16
  VERSES THAT I'M SKIPPING THROUGH, THAT THEY CAME TO
• 1:02:19
  PILATE ASKING, REQUESTING FOR THE BODY OF JESUS. NOW LOOK AT
• 1:02:25
  VERSE 46, "AND SO THEY BOUGHT FINE LINEN AND TOOK HIM DOWN AND
• 1:02:31
  WRAPPED JESUS IN THE LINEN AND THEY LAID HIM IN THE SEPULCHER
• 1:02:34
  WHICH WAS CARVED OUT OF A ROCK AND ROLLED A STONE UPON THE DOOR
• 1:02:40
  OF THAT GRAVE. AND MARY MAGDALENE AND MARY THE MOTHER OF
• 1:02:45
  HOSEA, BEHOLD WHERE HE WAS LAID. SO I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT
• 1:02:49
  HAPPENED NOW. JESUS DIED, HE SAID TO GOD AND SPOKE IT OUT,
• 1:02:56
  "IT IS FINISHED." THEY WENT AND THEY GATHERED THE BODY OF JESUS
• 1:03:00
  THAT HAD BEEN CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS AND NOW THEY HAD LAID IT
• 1:03:04
  IN A TOMB. THERE WAS A WAITING PERIOD. IT WAS FROM FRIDAY, GOOD
• 1:03:10
  FRIDAY, ALL THE WAY TO THAT SUNDAY MORNING. THERE WAS A
• 1:03:15
  WAITING PERIOD. THERE WAS A MOMENT OF, DID HE REALLY SAY HE
• 1:03:22
  WAS GONNA RISE AGAIN? YOU'RE GONNA FIND THAT THAT'S WHAT SOME
• 1:03:25
  OF HIS DISCIPLES SAID. YOU'RE GONNA SEE THAT JESUS TOLD HIS
• 1:03:29
  DISCIPLES WHERE TO MEET HIM AND THEY WEREN'T THERE. THEY WERE 15
• 1:03:33
  MILES OFF COURSE. YOU'RE GONNA SEE THAT THERE ARE THOSE THAT
• 1:03:38
  BEGAN TO QUESTION, WELL, WAS IT REALLY TRUE? BECAUSE OF THE
• 1:03:45
  WAITING PERIOD THAT HAPPENED FROM THE TIME THAT THEY TOOK HIM
• 1:03:50
  OFF THE CROSS, PUT HIM IN THE GRAVE TILL THE TIME, I'M GONNA
• 1:03:52
  READ YOU THE NEXT PASSAGE. LOOK AT MATTHEW CHAPTER 28, VERSES 2
• 1:03:56
  THROUGH 6. "THREE DAYS, THREE NIGHTS, BEHOLD, "THERE WAS A
• 1:04:01
  GREAT EARTHQUAKE. "FOR THE ANGEL OF THE LORD DESCENDED FROM
• 1:04:06
  HEAVEN "AND CAME AND ROLLED BACK THE STONE FROM THE DOOR "AND SAT
• 1:04:12
  ON IT." NOW YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE
• 1:04:15
  WATCHING TODAY, LITERALLY THERE IS ONE VERSION OF THIS AND THE
• 1:04:21
  LITERAL TRANSLATION IS THE STONE WASN'T JUST ROLLED BACK. ONE
• 1:04:25
  TRANSLATION SAYS THAT IT WAS BACK UP ON THE HILL. IT WAS SUCH
• 1:04:30
  THE BLAST OF NUCLEAR POWER. HE DIDN'T JUST ROLL AWAY THE STONE.
• 1:04:34
  IT'S LIKE IF YOU WOULD SHAKE UP, I GUESS YOU'VE SEEN LIKE WITH
• 1:04:38
  CHAMPAGNE, IF YOU SHAKE IT UP, YOU'VE SEEN THAT ON LIKE
• 1:04:41
  COMMERCIALS AND DIFFERENT THINGS AND YOU POP THE CORK, EXCEPT
• 1:04:44
  THIS WAS AT A WHOLE ‘NOTHER LEVEL. THE STONE WASN'T JUST
• 1:04:46
  ROLLED BACK, IT WAS LIKE NUCLEAR ENERGY. IT BLASTED OFF AND WAS
• 1:04:52
  PUT BACK ON TOP OF THE HILL. NOW THAT ROCK WAS SEVERAL TONS. YOU
• 1:04:59
  CAN IMAGINE THE SIGN AND THE WONDER. THEY FORMULATED A LIE,
• 1:05:06
  THE RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY, THAT THE DISCIPLES LIED ABOUT THE
• 1:05:11
  WHOLE THING, THE BODY WAS STOLEN, THEY MADE THIS WHOLE
• 1:05:13
  THING UP, BUT HERE'S WHAT THEY COULD NOT DENY. THEY ALL KNEW
• 1:05:17
  WHAT I JUST READ YOU, THAT THAT STONE WAS PUT IN FRONT OF THE
• 1:05:23
  GRAVE. THEY ALL KNEW THAT IT WAS SEALED, AND THEY ALL KNEW THAT
• 1:05:27
  PILATE, UNDER THE ORDERS OF THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT, HAD PUT THAT
• 1:05:31
  STONE IN PLACE WITH A BUNCH OF ROMAN SOLDIERS, THEY SAY TWO TO
• 1:05:35
  400 OF THEM. AND LET ME SAY THIS, THEY ALSO WERE UNDER SUCH
• 1:05:41
  ORDERS THAT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS, IT'S YOUR LIFE NOW. SO THEY
• 1:05:47
  WERE, THESE SOLDIERS WEREN'T PART OF A LIE. BUT NOBODY COULD
• 1:05:53
  DENY, GO BACK TO THAT VERSE, MATTHEW 28, WHAT HAPPENED, THOSE
• 1:05:57
  OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AS WELL AS THOSE IN THIS ROOM, THAT THE
• 1:06:00
  POWER OF THE RESURRECTED CHRIST WAS SO GREAT THAT THIS MASSIVE
• 1:06:06
  TON ROCK, BOULDER, HAD BLASTED OFF OF THE GRAVE DOOR AND NOW
• 1:06:15
  WAS BACK UP ON THE HILL. THAT IS POWERFUL. KEEP READING, WATCH
• 1:06:23
  WHAT HAPPENS. VERSE THREE, "AND HIS COUNTENANCE, HIS ANGEL, "WAS
• 1:06:28
  LIKE LIGHTNING, AND HIS RAIMENT WAS WHITE AS SNOW. "AND FOR FEAR
• 1:06:34
  OF HIM, THE SOLDIERS BEGAN TO SHAKE, "AND BECAME AS DEAD MEN."
• 1:06:39
  THEY FELL UNDER THE POWER OF GOD. LOOK AT VERSE FIVE. "AND
• 1:06:42
  THE ANGEL ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THE WOMAN," WHO'S THERE, "FEAR
• 1:06:45
  NOT, FOR I KNOW THAT YOU SEEK JESUS, "WHICH WAS CRUCIFIED."
• 1:06:49
  YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR HIM. HE'S NOT HERE. SOMETIMES WHEN
• 1:06:54
  WE'RE WAITING, WHAT'S THE THING THAT WE DO? WE START DOUBTING.
• 1:07:01
  "FOR HE IS RISEN, AS HE HAD SAID." SOMETIMES WHEN IT COMES
• 1:07:07
  TO WAITING, WE FORGET SOMETIMES WHAT WE'RE WAITING FOR.
• 1:07:11
  SOMETIMES WE FORGET REALLY WHAT THE PROMISE WAS THAT WE WERE
• 1:07:14
  STANDING ON. WE FORGET ABOUT THE PRAYERS THAT WE PRAYED THAT GOD
• 1:07:18
  DID IN FACT HEAR. BUT THE ANGEL SAID, HE SAID HE WOULD RISE
• 1:07:23
  AGAIN. I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN WAITING. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT
• 1:07:27
  THIS, BECAUSE THERE IS A WAITING PERIOD. ALL OF THESE EVENTS HAD
• 1:07:31
  TO DO WITH WAITING. HOPE WAS AND SEEMED DELAYED. WAITING BECAME
• 1:07:35
  SOMETHING THAT WAS REALLY FOR SOME, IT WAS A SENSE OF
• 1:07:40
  EMPTINESS, IT WAS A SENSE OF PAIN, IT WAS A SENSE OF
• 1:07:43
  HOPELESSNESS. MAYBE THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE AT TODAY AND YOU THAT ARE
• 1:07:46
  AROUND THE WORLD WHERE YOU'RE LIKE, I'M JUST TIRED OF WAITING.
• 1:07:49
  I'M TIRED OF BELIEVING FOR SOMETHING THAT IT SEEMS LIKE IS
• 1:07:53
  NOT HERE. BUT HERE'S THE THING, SOMETIMES IN WAITING, WE HAVE TO
• 1:07:58
  BE VERY WISE ABOUT SOMETHING. WHERE WE TAKE THE FOCUS AND WE
• 1:08:02
  PUT IT ON OURSELVES RATHER THAN ON THE THING THAT WE'RE WAITING
• 1:08:07
  FOR. I REMEMBER MANY YEARS WAITING FOR THIS. I HAD PROMISE
• 1:08:14
  AFTER PROMISE AFTER PROMISE, PROPHECY AFTER PROPHECY. I WOULD
• 1:08:18
  SEE, AND I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD WAS TRYING TO SHOW ME,
• 1:08:23
  THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENT CHURCH. I WOULD SEE MYSELF IN A
• 1:08:26
  DIFFERENT CONGREGATIONAL STRUCTURE THAN WHAT WE WERE IN.
• 1:08:32
  BUT I KEPT LOOKING AT THE MOMENT AND MY WAITING THAT I LOST
• 1:08:39
  GLIMPSE OF THIS, THE PROMISE. MANY TIMES, AND I GOT
• 1:08:45
  DISCOURAGED. I STARTED THINKING THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH
• 1:08:48
  ME AS A PASTOR. I THOUGHT I WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. THERE WAS
• 1:08:52
  TIMES THAT I WOULD PREACH A MESSAGE AND THINK, BRENDA, I AM
• 1:08:56
  JUST A TERRIBLE PREACHER. SHE'D SAY, NO, THAT WAS A GREAT, I
• 1:08:58
  SAID, NO, IF I WAS A BETTER PREACHER, PEOPLE WOULD COME.
• 1:09:04
  THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, AROUND THE WORLD, STADIUMS STARTED OPENING,
• 1:09:07
  BIG ARENAS, AND I WAS PREACHING IN THOSE, AND I THOUGHT, WELL,
• 1:09:10
  EVERYBODY ELSE THINKS THAT I'M AN OKAY PREACHER, BUT MY OWN
• 1:09:13
  TOWN. I GOT TIRED OF WAITING. GOT TIRED OF WAITING. COME ON,
• 1:09:24
  HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THERE BEFORE? I GOT TIRED OF WAITING. I DIDN'T
• 1:09:27
  BELIEVE IT ANYMORE. THERE'S TIMES I DOUBTED IT, GOT MAD, GOT
• 1:09:31
  UPSET. THERE'S TIMES I WENT TO GOD AND I SAID, "GOD, I'M NOT
• 1:09:34
  EVEN GONNA TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT ANYMORE "BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU
• 1:09:36
  AND I AREN'T CONNECTING ON THIS." SO I LEAVE IT IN YOUR
• 1:09:42
  HANDS. I REMEMBER MY CHILDREN'S BOOKS. I PUT THAT THING ON THE
• 1:09:45
  SHELF FOR 20 YEARS. SAID, "I CREATED ALL OF THIS, GOD, FOR
• 1:09:50
  YOU, FOR KIDS, FOR FAMILIES, FOR CHILDREN, AND WHAT GOOD IS IT IF
• 1:09:55
  THEY'RE JUST SITTING IN A BUNCH OF BOXES, THE FIRST EDITIONS?" I
• 1:10:00
  GUESS MAYBE I MISSED IT, GOD. AND I SHOVED 'EM AWAY, PUT 'EM
• 1:10:06
  IN BOXES, AND IT WASN'T UNTIL I MET NORRIS HALL, OUR
• 1:10:09
  ILLUSTRATOR, THAT GOD SAID, "IT'S TIME." BUT IN ALL THOSE
• 1:10:14
  YEARS, I WAS READY TO JUST WALK AWAY FROM IT ALL. YOU GETTING A
• 1:10:18
  LITTLE BITTER? WELL, GOD'S SPONGEBOB SEEMS TO, YOU LIKE HIM
• 1:10:24
  BETTER THAN ME. OH NO, I PRAYED THAT PRAYER. I GUESS YOU DON'T
• 1:10:29
  CARE THAT THERE'S NASTY CARTOONS OUT THERE AND I'M TRYING TO GIVE
• 1:10:31
  GOOD STUFF. YES, IT DOESN'T MATTER TO YOU, GOD. NOW, YOU
• 1:10:34
  KNOW HOW STUPID THAT IS, OKAY? AND I KNOW GOD WELL ENOUGH. AND
• 1:10:39
  HE JUST LOOKED AT ME AND PROBABLY SMILED AND
• 1:10:41
  THOUGHT, YOU ARE A SNOTTY LITTLE BOY.
• 1:10:44
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:10:45
  BUT HE LOVES ME ENOUGH TO PUT UP WITH THAT, RIGHT? LOOK AT WHAT
• 1:10:50
  PROVERBS 13, VERSE 22 SAYS. THIS MIGHT BE WHERE SOME OF YOU ARE
• 1:10:54
  AT TODAY. BUT HERE'S THE PROMISE OF WHY WE CELEBRATE TODAY. WE
• 1:10:58
  CELEBRATE A RISEN CHRIST, WHO EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THREE DAYS
• 1:11:02
  AND THREE NIGHTS, AS HE SAID, AND THERE WAS A WAITING PERIOD,
• 1:11:08
  SOMETHING POWERFUL EMERGED. COME ON, FOLKS, LOOK AT THIS CHURCH.
• 1:11:13
  SOME OF YOU, YOU NEED TO COME, WATCH US, AND SEE WHAT YOU AND
• 1:11:18
  GOD TOGETHER, NOT IN THAT ORDER, BUT GOD IN YOU. SOMETHING
• 1:11:23
  POWERFUL EMERGED, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A PASTOR AT TIMES THAT
• 1:11:26
  GOT FRUSTRATED, GOT DISCOURAGED, GOT UPSET, STARTED BLAMING
• 1:11:32
  HIMSELF, STARTED LISTENING TO, WATCH THIS, I EVEN STARTED
• 1:11:35
  LISTENING TO THOSE THAT HATED ME. THEY USED TO CALL ME PASTOR.
• 1:11:42
  AND I THOUGHT, WELL, MAYBE, YOU KNOW, AND THERE'S ALWAYS GOOD
• 1:11:45
  SELF-EXAMINATION. SOMETIMES YOUR CRITICS ARE GOOD 'CAUSE IT KINDA
• 1:11:49
  HELPS YOU EXAMINE YOURSELF SO THAT YOU MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE
• 1:11:51
  WALKING IN A LEVEL OF HONOR BEFORE GOD AND THE PEOPLE THAT
• 1:11:56
  YOU ARE CALLED TO. RIGHT? SO YOU HAVE TO WATCH VOICES, BUT IT
• 1:12:05
  SAYS, "A GOOD MAN," NO, THAT'S NOT IT. 13:12, DID I SAY 22? IT
• 1:12:12
  LOOKED LIKE A 2 WITHOUT MY GLASSES. SO THERE YOU GO. "HOPE
• 1:12:16
  DELAYED MAKES THE HEART SICK." COME ON, WHEN SOMETHING THAT
• 1:12:23
  YOU'RE WAITING FOR, YOU CAN SEE THAT WITH MARY MAGDALENE, YOU
• 1:12:25
  CAN SEE THAT WITH THE DISCIPLES. THEY DID NOT LIKE THE THREE
• 1:12:28
  DAYS, FROM GOOD FRIDAY TO SUNDAY, THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT.
• 1:12:32
  THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE TIMEFRAME. THEY BEGAN TO GET SICK IN THEIR
• 1:12:35
  HEART. THEY BEGAN TO GET DISCOURAGED. THEY BEGAN TO QUIT.
• 1:12:38
  THEY BEGAN TO GIVE UP. AND IT SAYS, "HOPE DELAYED, IT'LL MAKE
• 1:12:42
  YOUR HEART SICK." YOU GOTTA WATCH IT, BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW
• 1:12:45
  SOME PEOPLE'S HEARTS GET SICK? IS YOU GET NASTY, YOU GET MEAN,
• 1:12:49
  YOU GET BITTER. YOU GET CRITICAL, YOU QUIT, YOU GIVE UP.
• 1:12:54
  NOBODY CAN TALK TO YOU. YOU STOP BEING ABOUT SPIRITUAL THINGS
• 1:13:00
  BECAUSE NOW YOU'RE MAD AT GOD, YOU'RE MAD BECAUSE YOU'RE
• 1:13:03
  WAITING, AND YOU'RE MAD AT LIFE. IT AFFECTS YOUR HEART, YOU'VE
• 1:13:09
  GOT TO BE CAREFUL. THANK GOD IN THE MIDST OF ALL THE YEARS THAT
• 1:13:14
  I WAITED FOR THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PROPHESIED TO ME THAT
• 1:13:18
  YOU APPRECIATE IT, YOU'RE SEEING THE FRUIT OF IT. BUT LISTEN, THE
• 1:13:22
  JOURNEY, THE WAIT TO GET HERE, THAT WE ARE ENJOYING THE FRUIT
• 1:13:26
  OF THIS VESSEL'S LIFE. THANK GOD IN ALL OF IT, AS STUPID AS I WAS
• 1:13:32
  SOMETIMES, I KEPT MY HEART RIGHT. BECAUSE NOBODY WOULD WANT
• 1:13:41
  A BITTER PASTOR. NOBODY WOULD WANT A PASTOR THAT WALKED AROUND
• 1:13:45
  ANGRY AND BITTER AND MAD AND, IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. YOU'RE THE
• 1:13:52
  REASON THAT MY CHURCH WAS THE UGLIEST CHURCH IN TOWN. YOU EVER
• 1:13:58
  BEEN THERE? AM I THE ONLY ONE? LORD, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME
• 1:14:01
  THIS MESSAGE SO I CAN PREACH IT FOR MYSELF. NOW, BUT HERE'S THE
• 1:14:05
  THING, JUST LIKE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS, SOMETHING POWERFUL
• 1:14:10
  WAS ABOUT TO EMERGE. A STONE THAT WAS SEVERAL TONS IN ITS
• 1:14:15
  WEIGHT WAS BLASTED. COME ON, WHAT IS READY TO BLAST OPEN FOR
• 1:14:22
  YOU? THAT'S WHAT THE RESURRECTION IS ABOUT. YOUR
• 1:14:29
  WAITING IS NOT IN VAIN. SOMETHING OF GOD AND THE
• 1:14:36
  SUPERNATURAL POWER OF GOD IS ABOUT TO BRING SOMETHING TO
• 1:14:42
  MANIFESTATION IN YOUR LIFE, THIS NATION, THE EARTH.
• 1:14:47
  (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
• 1:14:51
  HOPE DELAYED, IT MAKES YOUR HEART SICK, BUT WHEN
• 1:14:54
  IT FINALLY HAPPENS, IT'S ABOUT TO BUST OPEN.
• 1:15:00
  PSALM 37, VERSE 7, THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT MANY TIMES WHERE
• 1:15:04
  PEOPLE HAD TO WAIT, TELLS US THAT WE HAVE TO WAIT. I TOLD YOU
• 1:15:08
  ABOUT SHILOH, THE LAST WORD I HEARD, I SAID, "GOD, HE KEPT
• 1:15:12
  POKING AT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT "I WOULD TURN OVER AND
• 1:15:15
  I KNEW IT, I SAID, "GOD, QUIT POKING ON ME LIKE THE PILLSBURY
• 1:15:19
  DOUGHBOY." I TOLD HIM THAT. I SAID, "I HATE THAT WORD." HE
• 1:15:24
  SAID, "WAIT." I SAID, "LORD, I'LL WAIT AS LONG AS YOU LET
• 1:15:31
  SOMETHING POWERFUL EMERGE." AND I KEPT ROLLING OVER. HE SAID,
• 1:15:36
  "WAIT." I SAID, "LORD, I DON'T LIKE THAT WORD." SOMETHING
• 1:15:42
  POWERFUL IS ABOUT TO EMERGE. WE WILL HAVE OUR SHILOH. YOU WATCH.
• 1:15:50
  NOW, HERE'S WHAT'S AMAZING. REST IN THE LORD. OH, THAT'S THE
• 1:15:53
  HARDEST ONE. NO, WE'RE GONNA BE LIKE THE DISCIPLES. WE'RE GONNA
• 1:15:57
  LOCK THE DOORS AND SHUT OURSELVES IN AND QUIT GOING TO
• 1:16:00
  CHURCH. THAT'S WHAT THEY DID. WE'RE GONNA SHUT PEOPLE OFF. NO,
• 1:16:07
  REST IN THE LORD. REST IN THE LORD. NOW, I MUST SAY WITH THE
• 1:16:13
  CHURCH, AS MUCH AS I GAVE YOU THIS STORY, AND EVEN MY
• 1:16:16
  CHILDREN'S BOOKS, CAN I TELL YOU ONE THING THAT I DID FINALLY DO
• 1:16:21
  IN KEEPING MY HEART RIGHT IS I WENT FROM STINKING THINKING,
• 1:16:25
  STINKING ATTITUDES TO HONESTLY, BRENDA KNOWS, I CAME TO A PLACE
• 1:16:29
  OF FAITH. I CAME TO A PLACE OF REST. I SAID, GOD, I AM NO
• 1:16:32
  LONGER BEING CRITICAL OF YOU AND YOUR WAYS. I'M RESTING IN THE
• 1:16:38
  FACT THAT I HAVE PRAYED, I LIVE HONORABLY, I SERVE YOU WITH MY
• 1:16:44
  WHOLE HEART, I LOVE YOU LIKE EVERYTHING INSIDE OF ME. AND I'M
• 1:16:49
  RESTING IN THE FACT THAT YOU SAID IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN, IT'S
• 1:16:53
  YOUR JOB TO BRING IT TO PASS. AND THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS,
• 1:16:56
  CAST YOUR CARES, THROW IT OVER YOUR SHOULDER AND QUIT TRYING TO
• 1:16:59
  FISH IT BACK LIKE FISHERMEN. THROW IT OVER YOUR SHOULDER, NOT
• 1:17:03
  IN FRONT OF YOU. BUT I CAN TELL YOU ONE THING I KNOW, I'M NOT
• 1:17:06
  SAYING I'M THE GREATEST THING, BUT I CAN TELL YOU, I REMEMBER
• 1:17:10
  OVER THIS CHURCH, OVER MY LIFE, OVER THE CHILDREN'S BOOKS, I
• 1:17:15
  MEAN, WE'RE GETTING READY TO ROLL OUT FOUR NEW ANIMATION
• 1:17:17
  VIDEOS. I'M WORKING ON NINE MORE STORIES. THE PUBLISHER'S GOING
• 1:17:21
  CRAZY, GOING, "WE WANNA CONTRACT YOU FOR ALL OF THEM "'CAUSE
• 1:17:23
  THESE ARE GREAT IDEAS." AND I'M PUTTING THEM ALL IN STORIES. AND
• 1:17:28
  THANK GOD, GOD BROUGHT ME SOMEBODY, GOT ME A GREAT
• 1:17:30
  ILLUSTRATOR, BROUGHT ME COREY EDWARDS WHO WRITES, USED TO
• 1:17:33
  WRITE FOR VEGGIETALES, AND HE LAUGHS AT ALL MY STUFF. HE
• 1:17:36
  SPENDS HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH ME, AND I TELL HIM IDEAS, I TELL
• 1:17:40
  HIM HOW I WANT THE OUTLINES, AND IT'S GOOD TO HAVE SOMEBODY THAT
• 1:17:43
  CAN HELP PUT THE THINGS TOGETHER, AND THEN I HELP PUT
• 1:17:45
  THE DIALOGUE IN, AND THE STORIES GO QUICKER. I WOULD HAVE NEVER
• 1:17:48
  IMAGINED THAT GOD WOULD HAVE DONE THIS. BUT YOU HAVE TO REST
• 1:17:51
  IN THE LORD, AND WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM. OH, WE DON'T LIKE THAT
• 1:17:56
  WORD, WAIT PATIENTLY. DON'T FRET. AS ANOTHER THING, WHAT DID
• 1:18:02
  THE DISCIPLES DO? THEY FRETTED, GOT INTO FEAR. ALL RIGHT, LET'S
• 1:18:07
  GO ON. LET'S LOOK AT SOME EXAMPLES. NOW IN THE BIBLE,
• 1:18:10
  ABRAHAM HAD TO WAIT 25 YEARS FOR A SON. WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?
• 1:18:16
  JACOB WAITED 14 YEARS BEFORE HE COULD MARRY HIS TRUE BELOVED.
• 1:18:22
  SOME OF YOU THAT ARE WAITING FOR YOUR SPOUSE, "I'M JUST GONNA
• 1:18:25
  LIVE THE REST OF MY LIFE SINGLE." WOMAN, YOU'RE ONLY 26.
• 1:18:31
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:18:36
  JOSEPH WAITED 13 YEARS BEFORE HE WAS FINALLY VINDICATED. JESUS
• 1:18:42
  HAD TO WAIT 30 YEARS, AND THEN ONLY TO SERVE THREE AND A HALF
• 1:18:48
  YEARS OF MINISTRY AND TO GET CRUCIFIED ON A CROSS FOR IT.
• 1:18:53
  LET'S GO TO MARK 14. LET'S GO BEFORE THE CRUCIFIXION. LET'S GO
• 1:18:58
  TO THE GARDEN. I WANNA TEACH YOU SOME PRINCIPLES. LOOK AT MARK
• 1:19:00
  14, VERSE 32 AND 33. SO NOW JESUS, BEFORE HE GOES TO THIS
• 1:19:05
  CROSS RIGHT HERE, HE GOES TO A GARDEN. AND JESUS IS SO AT A
• 1:19:11
  PLACE WHERE HE IS UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL THE DISCIPLES, ALL OF
• 1:19:17
  HIS FOLLOWERS, AND EVEN HIMSELF, IT WOULD BE WORTH THE WAIT. BUT
• 1:19:21
  HE SAYS TO HIS DISCIPLES, HE SAID, "HEY," COMES TO THE PLACE
• 1:19:24
  NAMED GETHSEMANE, SAYS TO HIS DISCIPLES, "SIT HERE AND I'M
• 1:19:27
  GONNA PRAY." NOW LOOK AT WHAT HE SAYS IN VERSE 33. HE SAYS,
• 1:19:30
  "WOW." HE TAKES WITH HIM PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN. NOW, YOU HAVE
• 1:19:34
  TO UNDERSTAND, GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS VERSE. HE TELLS HIS
• 1:19:39
  DISCIPLES, HE TOLD HIS OTHER EIGHT, 'CAUSE THERE WERE 11
• 1:19:44
  DISCIPLES AT THAT POINT. THERE USED TO BE 12, BUT WE KNOW WHAT
• 1:19:48
  HAPPENED TO JUDAS. HE BETRAYED JESUS, RIGHT? HE WAS OFF GETTING
• 1:19:54
  READY TO BETRAY HIM. SO THERE WAS ONLY 11 DISCIPLES. JUDAS WAS
• 1:19:59
  GOING OFF ON HIS BUSINESS TO GET READY TO MEET JESUS IN THE
• 1:20:02
  GARDEN WITH THE SOLDIERS TO ARREST HIM. SO THERE WERE ONLY
• 1:20:05
  11. SO IMAGINE EIGHT. HE'S SAYING RIGHT THERE IN VERSE 32,
• 1:20:10
  YOU NEED TO WAIT OVER HERE. AND THEN NOW LOOK AT VERSE 33. HE
• 1:20:17
  TAKES OUT OF THAT 11, 3, PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN. AND HE TELLS
• 1:20:24
  THEM TO COME PRAY WITH HIM AND HE TELLS THE OTHERS TO WAIT AND
• 1:20:28
  HE TELLS THESE THREE TO ALSO PRAY AND WAIT. NOW, LET'S GO
• 1:20:32
  BACK TO VERSE 32. CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING THOSE EIGHT? I
• 1:20:36
  DON'T KNOW, WHAT WERE THEIR NAMES? BARTHOLOMEW AND MATTHEW
• 1:20:39
  AND ALL THAT. OKAY, THEY'RE HAVING TO WAIT AND THEY SEE HIM
• 1:20:42
  TAKE THREE AND THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING, WHAT? WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
• 1:20:45
  WAIT? WHAT DID WE DO WRONG? OH, STOP RIGHT THERE. WHAT HAPPENS?
• 1:20:52
  I TOLD YOU MY STORY. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? IT WAS NOT WHAT I
• 1:20:57
  WAS DOING WRONG THAT I HAD THE UGLIEST CHURCH IN TOWN, OR THAT
• 1:21:01
  MY CHILDREN'S BOOKS WERE SITTING ON A SHELF FOR 20 YEARS. IT WAS
• 1:21:05
  WHAT I WAS DOING RIGHT THAT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND BECAUSE MY
• 1:21:10
  EYES WERE ON OTHERS. OTHER CHURCHES, COME ON, CAN I TELL
• 1:21:14
  YOU? I REMEMBER ONE SUNDAY, I SAID TO BRENDA, RESURRECTION
• 1:21:19
  SUNDAY IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA, IN THAT SEASON, I SAID, BRENDA, I
• 1:21:23
  WANT YOU, LET'S JUST TAKE SEPARATE CARS TODAY. SHE SAID,
• 1:21:25
  "WHY?" I SAID, "I JUST WANNA GO BY OTHER CHURCHES BEFORE OURS
• 1:21:30
  "AND I WANNA SEE IF THEIR PARKING LOTS ARE FULL "'CAUSE
• 1:21:33
  OURS NEVER ARE." OUR RESURRECTION SERVICES WERE
• 1:21:37
  SOMETIMES THE LEAST ATTENDED SERVICES. AND YET EVERY PASTOR
• 1:21:42
  THAT I KNEW IN TOWN, "OH MY GOODNESS, WE HAD A QUINTUPLE AND
• 1:21:46
  WE HAD 70 PEOPLE COME TO THE ALTAR. "WHAT'D YOU HAVE, HANK?"
• 1:21:50
  "I DON'T EVEN THINK I HAD 70 PEOPLE IN THE SERVICE."
• 1:21:53
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:21:57
  AND MY EYES WERE ON OTHER CHURCHES, OTHER PASTORS. AND I
• 1:22:01
  CAME AND I WAS DRIVING BY AND THERE WERE SOME BIG CHURCHES.
• 1:22:07
  AND I DROVE BY AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD SAID TO ME, HE SAID, "WHAT
• 1:22:09
  ARE YOU DOING?" "I'M LOOKING AT OTHER CHURCHES," 'CAUSE I HAD AN
• 1:22:14
  ATTITUDE. I SAID, "I'M LOOKING AT OTHER CHURCHES "BECAUSE THEY
• 1:22:16
  ALWAYS HAVE A PACKED EASTER SERVICE "AND I DON'T." THAT'S
• 1:22:19
  WHAT I SAID TO HIM. HE SAID, "WELL, CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING?
• 1:22:25
  "MANY OF YOUR PEOPLE ARE IN THOSE CHURCHES." I SAID, "WHAT?"
• 1:22:30
  HE SAID, "YES. "MANY OF THOSE THAT HAVE CALLED YOU "TO BE
• 1:22:38
  THEIR PASTOR IN THOSE." I SAID, "LORD, I'M NOT TRYING TO PULL
• 1:22:40
  ANYBODY FROM A CHURCH." HE SAID, "NO, BUT I AM, AND I WILL,
• 1:22:46
  "BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT "AND WHAT IS
• 1:22:49
  HONORABLE." HE SAID, "IT WILL COME IN A DAY." NOW, I'M NOT
• 1:22:55
  HERE TO CRITICIZE ANY OTHER CHURCHES, ANY OTHER PASTORS, BUT
• 1:22:57
  THERE IS A POINT WHERE GOD DID CALL OUT PASTORS IN THE BIBLE
• 1:23:00
  'CAUSE SOME OF THEM WEREN'T DOING WHAT HE HAD CALLED THEM TO
• 1:23:02
  DO, AND HE WAS LOOKING FOR TRUE PASTORS THAT WOULD HAVE HIS
• 1:23:05
  HEART. AND SO NOW, JUST LIKE THOSE EIGHT, WE GO, "WELL, THAT
• 1:23:16
  DUDE'S UGLY, "AND HOW COME HE GOT THAT GOOD-LOOKING GIRL TO
• 1:23:18
  MARRY? "I'M BETTER LOOKING THAN THAT GUY, AND HE'S MARRIED. "I'M
• 1:23:23
  BETTER LOOKING THAN HER, AND SHE'S MARRIED. "I TITHE AND GIVE
• 1:23:29
  OFFERINGS, "AND HOW COME HE'S DRIVING IN
• 1:23:31
  TO THE PARKING LOT WITH THE MERCEDES?"
• 1:23:34
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:23:42
  YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT? WHAT WERE THE EIGHT THINKING? I MEAN,
• 1:23:45
  THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING, PETER, YOU'RE AN IDIOT. YOU ALWAYS
• 1:23:50
  MOUTH OFF AND SAY THE WRONG THINGS. JESUS CALLED YOU SATAN,
• 1:23:54
  AND YOU GET TO GO WITH HIM? WHAT UP? AND THOSE EIGHT WERE
• 1:23:59
  PROBABLY SITTING OVER THERE, "MAN, I'M GONNA KNOCK PETER
• 1:24:02
  UPSIDE HIS HEAD. "HE GETS TO SPEND TIME WITH JESUS, "AND I
• 1:24:05
  GOTTA SIT OVER HERE FOR WHAT?" OKAY, I DISTRIBUTED MORE BREAD
• 1:24:11
  TO THE 5,000 MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN. I'M THE BETTER USHER
• 1:24:16
  THAN PETER. YOU KNOW WHAT PETER KEPT DOING? PETER KEPT CLEANING
• 1:24:20
  HIS NAILS WITH HIS FISHING KNIFE. YEAH, WE GET OUR EYES ON
• 1:24:25
  OTHER PEOPLE. NOW LET'S GO TO THE THREE. SO NOW THE THREE
• 1:24:30
  LUNKHEADS, PETER, JAMES, AND JOHN, AND I COULD JUST SEE, AND
• 1:24:35
  I KNOW ME, IF I WAS ONE OF THOSE PETER, JAMES, AND HANK, I'D BE
• 1:24:38
  LIKE LOOKING AT THE EGG GOING, SORRY, YOU'RE LOST.
• 1:24:41
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:24:43
  AND I'D BE DOING MY BEST STRUT MOVE. AND THEN JESUS LOOKED AT
• 1:24:52
  ME, I'D BE LIKE, WE'RE HERE TO PRAY, WE'RE HERE TO PRAY. RIGHT?
• 1:25:00
  YOU EVER LOOKED AT IT THAT WAY? I DID. BUT NOW, HERE'S THE
• 1:25:05
  THING, LOOK AT WHAT JESUS TELLS THEM. "THEY FALL ASLEEP." LOOK
• 1:25:10
  AT VERSE 38, HE COMES BACK AND HE REBUKES THEM BECAUSE HERE'S
• 1:25:13
  WHAT HAPPENS IN WAITING. IF WE'RE NOT CAREFUL, THREE THINGS
• 1:25:17
  CAN HAPPEN IN OUR WAITING PERIOD. WE GET STRESSED. JESUS
• 1:25:23
  SAID IT, "MY SOUL IS VEXED." WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THAT YOU
• 1:25:28
  DON'T GET YOUR HEART, YOUR SOUL, YOUR MIND, YOUR WILL SICK,
• 1:25:34
  STRESSED IN YOUR WAITING. HERE'S ANOTHER THING. YOU GET TIRED, HE
• 1:25:43
  COMES BACK AND HE SAYS, "HEY MAN, YOU ALL SLEEPING?" YEAH, I
• 1:25:48
  KNOW PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY'RE TIRED OF WAITING FOR SOMETHING
• 1:25:51
  IN THEIR LIFE. GUESS WHAT? THEY WALK AROUND LIKE THEY'RE TIRED
• 1:25:56
  ALL THE TIME. 'CAUSE THAT'S HOW WE COPE. NOW, BRENDA AND I ARE
• 1:26:03
  DIFFERENT. SOMETIMES WHEN I'M WAITING FOR SOMEONE, I'M LIKE,
• 1:26:06
  "BRENDA, I JUST WANNA GO TAKE A NAP." WHEN I DON'T WANNA DEAL
• 1:26:10
  WITH SOMETHING, SOMETIMES I'M LIKE, "BRENDA, I JUST NEED TO
• 1:26:13
  TAKE A NAP." I'M JUST LIKE THAT. I TAKE A NAP EVERY SUNDAY, BUT
• 1:26:18
  THAT'S NOT WHY, 'CAUSE I'M ALWAYS DEALING WITH SOMETHING. I
• 1:26:21
  JUST LIKE MY SUNDAY NAPS. BUT HERE'S THE OTHER THING. HERE'S
• 1:26:24
  THE ONE YOU HAVE TO REALLY WATCH. LOOK AT VERSE 38. THIS IS
• 1:26:28
  INTERESTING. IN YOUR TIME OF WAITING, JESUS SAID, YOU NEED TO
• 1:26:33
  WAIT AND PRAY. SOMETIMES WE DON'T MIX PRAYER WITH OUR
• 1:26:37
  WAITING SEASON, BUT WE SURE MIX IT WITH A LOT OF WORDS. THE
• 1:26:41
  PROBLEM IS THEY'RE THE WRONG WORDS. AND WE KNOW THAT PROVERBS
• 1:26:45
  6 SAYS, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING AS WELL, WE BECOME
• 1:26:48
  SNARED, TRAPPED BY OUR WORDS. GOD MOVES BY WORDS, THAT'S HOW
• 1:26:56
  HE FRAMED THE WORLD AND CREATED IT, BUT SO DOES THE DEVIL.
• 1:26:59
  THAT'S HOW HE CREATES, HE DOESN'T CREATE, BUT IT'S HOW HE
• 1:27:02
  FRAMES A LOT OF PROBLEMS IN YOUR WORLD. BY YOUR WORDS THAT YOU
• 1:27:08
  CHOOSE TO SPEAK IN YOUR TIME OF WAITING. BUT HERE'S WHAT
• 1:27:12
  HAPPENS. HE SAID THE SPIRIT IS READY. IN OTHER WORDS, JESUS IS
• 1:27:16
  TELLING THEM, I KNOW YOU'RE WAITING, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? KEEP
• 1:27:19
  YOUR SPIRIT READY. YOU KNOW WHY? 'CAUSE SOMETHING POWERFUL IS
• 1:27:22
  ABOUT TO EMERGE. KEEP IN THE GAME. WITH MY CHILDREN'S BOOKS,
• 1:27:28
  YOU KNOW WHAT? WHEN I PUT THEM ON 20 YEARS, I ALMOST SIGNED A
• 1:27:32
  DEAL. I HAD NEVER SEEN SO MANY ZEROS BEHIND ONE NUMBER ONE IN
• 1:27:37
  ALL MY LIFE. AND THEY HAD ALL THE HIGH-POWERED LAWYERS THERE,
• 1:27:42
  AND THEY WANTED ALL MY CHARACTERS AND STUFF, AND I'LL
• 1:27:45
  NEVER FORGET IT. I WOKE UP, I WAS SO EXCITED. I SAID, "GOD,
• 1:27:48
  TODAY WE ARE GONNA TAKE "THESE CHILDREN'S BOOKS TO THE WORLD.
• 1:27:51
  "WE'RE GONNA HAVE ANIMATION AND TOYS," 'CAUSE THAT'S ALL THAT
• 1:27:54
  THEY WERE PROMISING, THESE ATTORNEYS AND EVERYTHING. AND
• 1:27:58
  THEY WROTE OUT A CHECK OF THEIR INVESTMENT, NOT TO ME, BUT FOR
• 1:28:03
  THE PROJECT. ONE WITH A LOT OF ZEROS, A LOT OF ZEROS, AND IT
• 1:28:09
  WAS MORE THAN $100,000 IF YOU WANNA KNOW. LIKE, A LOT OF
• 1:28:16
  MONEY. AND THE LORD SAID TO ME, HE SAID, DISASSOCIATE,
• 1:28:23
  DISASSEMBLE, AND PULL AWAY FROM THE TABLE AND DO NOT SIGN. I
• 1:28:29
  LOOKED UP AT HIM AND I SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
• 1:28:33
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:28:35
  YOU EVER DONE THAT TO GOD IN YOUR WAITING? THERE'S A SHOW
• 1:28:39
  THAT USED TO BE CALLED FATHER KNOWS BEST. WELL, OUR FATHER
• 1:28:43
  KNOWS BEST, BUT HOW COME IT IS THAT WE ACT LIKE IN OUR SEASON
• 1:28:46
  OF WAITING THAT WE KNOW WHAT'S BEST? WE HAVE THE BETTER CHOICE
• 1:28:50
  OF A SPOUSE THAN GOD. WE HAVE A BETTER CHOICE OF A VEHICLE THAN
• 1:28:55
  WHAT GOD WOULD CHOOSE, OR A JOB, OR A HOUSE, OR A DREAM, RIGHT?
• 1:29:03
  WE ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING BETTER THAN WHAT GOD HAD IN MIND.
• 1:29:09
  THAT'S NOT WHAT EPHESIANS 3:20 SAYS, "GOD DOES EXCEEDINGLY
• 1:29:12
  ABUNDANTLY "BEYOND ALL WE ASK OR THINK." THE KEY IS, GO BACK TO
• 1:29:16
  VERSE 38, WATCH AND PRAY, WAIT AND PRAY. IF YOU WOULD SPEND AS
• 1:29:22
  MUCH TIME PRAYING AND WORSHIPING AND HONORING THAN COMPLAINING,
• 1:29:26
  GETTING MAD, NOTICE WHAT IT SAYS. THE SPIRIT IS, HE SAYS,
• 1:29:30
  "DON'T ENTER INTO TEMPTATION." I KNOW PEOPLE IN THEIR WAITING
• 1:29:32
  PERIOD. THEY GOT TIRED OF WAITING FOR SOMETHING. SO GUESS
• 1:29:37
  WHAT THEY DID? THEY ENTERED INTO THE TEMPTATION OF TAKING THE
• 1:29:40
  DEAL. I'VE WATCHED PEOPLE MARRY THE WRONG PERSON 'CAUSE THEY GOT
• 1:29:44
  TIRED OF WAITING. I'VE WATCHED PEOPLE TAKE THE WRONG JOB
• 1:29:50
  BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LISTEN. I'VE WATCHED PEOPLE GO AND START
• 1:29:55
  CHURCHES AND THEY WERE CALLED TO BE PASTORS, I TOLD THEM THAT,
• 1:30:02
  BUT THEY WOULDN'T WAIT AND LET. I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER WHEN
• 1:30:06
  SOMEBODY HAS TO BE ORDAINED. I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER WHEN GOD
• 1:30:12
  SETS SOMEONE IN AS A PASTOR IN A CHURCH IF THE LORD HAS ME SEND
• 1:30:16
  SOMEBODY OUT. BUT I'VE HAD, IN 29 YEARS, MANY PEOPLE COME TO ME
• 1:30:21
  AND TELL ME THAT THEY ARE PASTORS AND THAT I DIDN'T
• 1:30:24
  RECOGNIZE THEIR GIFT. AND EVERY TIME I WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, I'M
• 1:30:28
  NOT DOUBTING. MANY OF THEM, I SAID, YOU'RE NOT A PASTOR. ONE
• 1:30:32
  PERSON TRIED, GOT OUT, GOT MAD ONE TIME AND STARTED FIVE
• 1:30:37
  DIFFERENT CHURCHES THAT NEVER SUCCEEDED IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA,
• 1:30:40
  AND THAT IS A LOT OF PEOPLE THEY HURT. SOME WERE ACTUALLY
• 1:30:47
  PASTORS, BUT IF THEY WOULD HAVE JUST WAITED AND ALLOW THAT THING
• 1:30:52
  TO EMERGE IN THEM, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE ENTERED INTO TEMPTATION. I
• 1:30:57
  KNOW PEOPLE THAT TAKE MONEY DEALS. I'VE HAD TIMES WHERE I
• 1:31:01
  WOULD SAY TO PEOPLE, YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT, I
• 1:31:02
  FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GONNA SIGN SOMETHING, DON'T DO IT. THE
• 1:31:05
  MONEY ISN'T WORTH IT. AND THEY WOULD SIGN IT, AND THEN AT THE
• 1:31:08
  END OF A YEAR, TWO YEARS, IT'S ALL GONE. 'CAUSE THEY ENTERED
• 1:31:12
  INTO TEMPTATION, AND THEY DIDN'T WAIT. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO TO THE
• 1:31:17
  NEXT ONE. MATTHEW 26, I GOTTA MOVE FAST. LOOK AT THIS ONE. NOW
• 1:31:21
  LET'S TALK ABOUT PETER. SO HE'S ONE OF THE GUYS THAT GOT TO GO
• 1:31:24
  WITH JESUS. AFTER A WHILE, VERSE 73, VERSE 74, PETER, REMEMBER
• 1:31:32
  JESUS TOLD HIM, YOU'RE GONNA DENY ME THREE TIMES JUST LIKE
• 1:31:35
  THE ROOSTER WHEN IT CROWS. IN VERSE 75, PETER REMEMBERED WHEN
• 1:31:40
  HE DENIED JESUS THREE TIMES AND HE HEARD THE COCK CROW AND HE
• 1:31:44
  HEARD JESUS REMIND HIM, YOU'RE GONNA DENY ME THREE TIMES "AND
• 1:31:47
  HE WENT OUT AND WEPT BITTERLY." WHY DID PETER WEEP BITTERLY?
• 1:31:53
  BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE GET INTO A WAITING SEASON, SOMETIMES THEY
• 1:31:59
  FORGET ABOUT GOD AND WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE PROMISED. AND SO
• 1:32:06
  THEY GET INTO DENIAL. COME ON, I KNOW PEOPLE. I KNOW PEOPLE. I
• 1:32:12
  KNOW PEOPLE THAT GET TIRED OF WAITING IN MINISTRY AND THEY
• 1:32:16
  START DENYING THAT THEY'RE CALLED. I KNOW PEOPLE THAT GET
• 1:32:20
  TIRED OF WAITING IN MARRIAGE AND THEN THEY START BEING IN DENIAL
• 1:32:24
  THAT THEY'RE EVER CALLED TO BE MARRIED. I KNEW A 70-YEAR-OLD
• 1:32:28
  PERSON ONE TIME THAT SAID, "WELL, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I
• 1:32:30
  PRAYED AND, YOU KNOW, "IT JUST NEVER HAPPENED." I KNOW PEOPLE
• 1:32:35
  THAT LIVE IN THE SAME LIVING CONDITIONS AND THEY DENY, WELL,
• 1:32:40
  I JUST DON'T THINK GOD WANTS ME TO HAVE ANYTHING BETTER. I'VE
• 1:32:43
  TRIED, I'VE BEEN DISAPPOINTED MANY TIMES. I KNOW PEOPLE THAT
• 1:32:46
  ARE, MAYBE YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE THAT ARE WATCHING TODAY AND YOU
• 1:32:49
  JUST HAPPEN TO VIEW OUR CHANNEL AND YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'VE HAD
• 1:32:55
  BAD EXPERIENCES, YOU'RE TIRED OF FINDING THE WRONG CHURCH AND THE
• 1:32:58
  WRONG PASTOR AND GETTING YOUR HOPES UP, SO NOW YOU DENY THE
• 1:33:01
  FACT THAT THERE COULD EVER BE A GOOD CHURCH FOR YOU. AND YOU
• 1:33:09
  KNOW WHAT PETER DID? HE CUSSED. THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT
• 1:33:12
  HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE GET INTO WAITING. BOY, CAN THEY CUSS LIKE
• 1:33:17
  A SAILOR. SORRY FOR THOSE OF YOU IN THE NAVY, I'M A MARINE GUY,
• 1:33:22
  BUT THAT'S OKAY. BUT, HOORAH, CRAIG, WHERE ARE YOU?
• 1:33:27
  I CAN'T EVEN DO IT LIKE HIM, 'CAUSE HE'S A REAL
• 1:33:28
  MARINE AND I JUST THOUGHT I WAS. BUT NOW HERE'S THE POINT. THERE
• 1:33:32
  ARE THOSE, THEY GET CARNAL. HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED SOMEBODY, MAN,
• 1:33:36
  WHEN THEY'RE WAITING, THEY CAN'T FIND THE RIGHT JOB, MAN, THEY'RE
• 1:33:40
  A PISTOL TO BE AROUND. THEY FORGET THEIR SPIRITUALITY, THEY
• 1:33:48
  FORGET, JUST LIKE PETER, THEY FORGET THEY'RE JESUS. THEY
• 1:33:52
  FORGET THEY'RE A CHRISTIAN. WHAT GIVES US A RIGHT WHEN WE'RE
• 1:33:57
  WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO EMERGE, THAT NOW WE CAN GO CARNAL? WE
• 1:34:05
  GET MAD. WE SPORT AN ATTITUDE. WE WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW. LOOK
• 1:34:18
  AT MATTHEW 27, THIS WILL PUT IT INTO PERSPECTIVE. SO JUST BEFORE
• 1:34:22
  THIS VERSE, IT SAYS, "WHEN MORNING WAS COME," MATTHEW 27,
• 1:34:26
  VERSE 1 AND 2. "WHEN THE MORNING WAS COME, ALL THE CHIEF PRIESTS
• 1:34:31
  "AND THE ELDERS OF THE PEOPLE TOOK COUNSEL TO JESUS, "AGAINST
• 1:34:34
  JESUS." SO NOW, MAN, HE HAD ACCUSERS, THEY WERE PUNCHING
• 1:34:38
  HIM. YOU GOTTA UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN MATTHEW 26, THE
• 1:34:41
  CHAPTER BEFORE, THEY WERE GOING AND THEY WERE SPITTING ON HIM.
• 1:34:45
  COME ON, SOME OF YOU MAY FEEL LIKE YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,
• 1:34:47
  YOU'VE BEEN SPIT ON. YOU'RE WAITING SEASON, YOU FEEL LIKE
• 1:34:51
  YOU'RE GETTING SPIT ON. YOU'RE GETTING PUNCHED, YOU'RE HAVING
• 1:34:55
  TO TAKE THE PUNCHES. NOTHING'S EVER HAPPENING, PEOPLE ARE JUST
• 1:34:59
  TAKING CRACKS AT YOU, LIFE IS TAKING PUNCHES AT YOU, LIFE
• 1:35:03
  ISN'T FAIR. YET JESUS STOOD THERE WHILE THEY GOT TO GO,
• 1:35:07
  PROBABLY A HUNDRED OF THEM, AND PUNCH HIM AS HARD AS THEY COULD,
• 1:35:11
  TEAR HIS BEARD OUT, SPIT IN HIS FACE. AND NOW, MATTHEW 27, VERSE
• 1:35:18
  1 SAYS, "IN THE MORNING." WHOA, WAIT, WAIT, I WAS READING
• 1:35:22
  THIS AND I IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED MY BIBLE SHUT AND I STOOD UP AND
• 1:35:25
  I SAID, "YESHUA!" YESHUA. IN THE MORNING, AND IT DAWNED ON ME,
• 1:35:37
  AND I LOOKED UP AT HIM AND I SAID, JESUS, THAT MEANS ALL
• 1:35:43
  NIGHT AFTER BEING BEATEN, SPIT ON, YOUR BEARD PULLED OUT, YOU
• 1:35:53
  WERE HAVING TO BE ALONE IN A PRISON CELL. I SAID, WHAT WAS
• 1:36:00
  GOING ON IN YOUR MIND? I MEAN, YOU ALREADY HAD TO DEAL WITH
• 1:36:04
  THAT IN THE GARDEN. WHAT WAS GOING ON IN YOUR MIND, IN YOUR
• 1:36:09
  ALONE MOMENT OF WAITING? AND YOU KNEW WHAT WAS GETTING READY TO
• 1:36:13
  EMERGE. YOU KNEW THAT THE STONE WOULD BE ROLLED AWAY, THAT THE
• 1:36:17
  FATHER WOULD SAY TO YOU, THE BELOVED, ARISE, MY LOVE. YET
• 1:36:24
  JESUS, YOU WERE ALONE IN YOUR WAITING. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
• 1:36:31
  WHAT KIND OF THOUGHTS DID THE DEVIL PUT IN YOUR HEAD? COME ON,
• 1:36:36
  THAT IN OUR TIME OF WAITING. I'M SERIOUS, MAN, I'VE HAD TIMES
• 1:36:41
  WHERE I HAD HAD TO GUARD MY HEAD BECAUSE OF THE PUNCHES THAT I
• 1:36:46
  TOOK FOR STANDING FOR GOD AND A NATION, FOR STANDING FOR
• 1:36:50
  CHILDREN SO THEY COULDN'T BE TRANSGENDER MUTILATED, STANDING
• 1:36:54
  FOR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE AND GETTING HIT BY THOSE WHO LIE
• 1:36:59
  THROUGH THE MEDIA. YOU GOT TO WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS. YOU GOT TO
• 1:37:08
  STAY WITH THE MISSION OF WHAT YOU'RE BELIEVING FOR AND WHAT
• 1:37:12
  YOU BELIEVE GOD CALLED YOU TO. LET'S GO ON. ALL RIGHT. NOW
• 1:37:18
  WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. THEY'RE WAITING NOW. JESUS IS GOING TO
• 1:37:23
  BE TRIED BEFORE PONTIUS PILATE. WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. REMEMBER
• 1:37:27
  AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR TEXT THAT HE'S PUT IN THE GRAVE. THEY
• 1:37:30
  ROLL THE STONE IN BUT NOW WE KNOW MATTHEW 28. I READ IT TO
• 1:37:34
  YOU. THE STONE BOULDER WAS POPPED UP, ROLLED BACK UP ON THE
• 1:37:39
  HILL. BUT NOW WATCH, WATCH WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS CLOSEST
• 1:37:43
  FOLLOWERS. THIS IS OFTEN WHAT HAPPENS TO US WHEN SOMETHING IS
• 1:37:48
  TRYING TO EMERGE IN OUR LIVES. SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO EMERGE
• 1:37:53
  WITH THIS GREAT TABERNACLE. AND WATCH WHERE PEOPLE'S MINDSETS
• 1:37:59
  ARE. IT'S ALMOST LIKE I'VE SAID TO GOD MANY TIMES, LORD, IF I
• 1:38:03
  COULD JUST STEP INTO THE FUTURE. AND WHAT'S SO CRAZY IS IN THE
• 1:38:06
  PROPHETIC MINISTRY, OFTENTIMES, COME ON, THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE
• 1:38:09
  HAD GOD GIVE YOU A VISION OR A DREAM PROPHETICALLY, OR TOLD YOU
• 1:38:13
  SOMETHING PROPHETICALLY, AND YOU KNOW THE END FROM THE VERY
• 1:38:17
  BEGINNING, YOU SEE THE FUTURE, YOU LIVE IN THE FUTURE, THAT
• 1:38:20
  FUTURE IS SO REAL TO YOU. THAT'S WHY SOMETIMES WHEN I'VE
• 1:38:23
  PROPHESIED THINGS IN THE EARTH, MY HEAD GOES, BLUH. BUT YET I'M
• 1:38:27
  LIKE, I'VE BEEN THERE, I'VE SEEN IT, I KNOW IT, I KNOW WHAT I
• 1:38:30
  HEARD, I KNOW WHAT I FELT, AND I KNOW WHERE I'VE BEEN. YOU HAVE
• 1:38:34
  TO REMIND YOURSELF OF THE PROMISE. RIGHT, GOD WANTS YOU
• 1:38:39
  BLESSED. GOD WANTS YOU BLESSED. LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS. JOHN 20,
• 1:38:50
  VERSE 19, JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD. YOU THINK HIS DISCIPLES
• 1:38:54
  WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE OR LOOKING FOR HIM, WAITING FOR HIM? NO, IN
• 1:38:57
  THEIR TIME OF WAITING, LOOK WHAT THEY DID. AND THE SAME DAY,
• 1:39:00
  VERSE 19, THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK WHEN THE DOORS WERE SHUT,
• 1:39:04
  ONE TRANSLATION SAYS THEY WERE LOCKED. ALL RIGHT, HERE'S THE
• 1:39:07
  OTHER THING. WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHEN IT SEEMS LIKE IN
• 1:39:09
  OUR WAITING THAT DOORS ARE SHUT. SOMETIMES THE THING THAT WE WERE
• 1:39:15
  WAITING FOR, BELIEVING FOR THAT GOT SHUT, THE DOOR, SOMETIMES
• 1:39:18
  IT'S A POINT OF REFERENCE. YOU KNOW HOW MANY HOUSES IN MY YEARS
• 1:39:23
  THAT I, AT LEAST A COUPLE OF THEM THAT I WANTED REALLY BAD.
• 1:39:30
  AND IT DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR WHATEVER REASON. I REMEMBER ONE
• 1:39:34
  HOUSE WHEN WE FIRST MOVED TO OMAHA, IT DIDN'T WORK OUT AND I
• 1:39:37
  SAID, BRENDA, COME ON, GOD, YOU KNOW, AND I STARTED DOING THIS.
• 1:39:41
  AND NOW WE LOOK BACK, WE DROVE BY THAT HOUSE SEVERAL YEARS AGO
• 1:39:44
  THAT WE WERE WANTING, BELIEVING WAS OUR GOD HOUSE. AND WE'RE
• 1:39:49
  LIKE, MAN, WE THANK YOU GOD. WE WOULD HAVE NEVER WANTED TO LIVE
• 1:39:52
  THERE BECAUSE WE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE FUTURE. OUR KIDS
• 1:39:56
  WOULD HAVE HAD TO DRIVE A LONG WAYS TO SCHOOL. THAT WOULDN'T
• 1:39:59
  HAVE BEEN GOOD. AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT WE DIDN'T EVEN LIKE
• 1:40:04
  THE STYLE OF THE HOUSE 10 YEARS LATER.
• 1:40:07
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:40:10
  SOMETIMES GOD WILL PUT THE GRAPES IN FRONT OF YOU LIKE
• 1:40:12
  JOSHUA AND CALEB DID WITH THE WHOLE NATION OF ISRAEL AND GIVE
• 1:40:17
  YOU A POINT OF REFERENCE. THIS IS A PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE,
• 1:40:23
  THE PROMISED LAND. THIS HOUSE IS A POINT OF REFERENCE. SOMETIMES
• 1:40:26
  POINTS OF REFERENCES ARE THINGS THAT YOU ARE TO DO OR NOT TO DO.
• 1:40:30
  LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR DATING RELATIONSHIPS. RATHER THAN CRY
• 1:40:32
  OVER SPILLED MILK, OH, HE WAS SO HANDSOME, HE WAS SO NICE.
• 1:40:38
  SOMETIMES IT'S A POINT OF REFERENCE. TWO THINGS, IT COULD
• 1:40:42
  EITHER BE, YEAH, BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THAT NICE, HANDSOME
• 1:40:45
  GUY THAT WOULD HAVE DESTROYED YOU. WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN GOOD FOR
• 1:40:50
  YOU, AND BECAUSE GOD KNOWS THEIR HEART AND KNOWS WHO THEY REALLY
• 1:40:52
  ARE, HE SAID, EH, NO. ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA TELL 'EM MYSELF. SO,
• 1:41:01
  YOU EVER HAD A FACEBOOK FEED COME UP OF A SUGGESTED PERSON?
• 1:41:06
  AND THERE WAS A PERSON, AND I HOPE YOU'RE NOT WATCHING, YOU
• 1:41:08
  DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO I AM, WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT, BUT THERE WAS
• 1:41:10
  A PERSON THAT I HAD DATED IN MY SECULAR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL.
• 1:41:17
  EVERYBODY THOUGHT THEY WERE GREAT LOOKING. I THOUGHT SHE WAS
• 1:41:22
  GREAT LOOKING. WENT OUT WITH HER A FEW TIMES. SORRY, BRENDA, I'M
• 1:41:26
  NOT TRYING TO OVEREMPHASIZE IT. I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE A POINT.
• 1:41:30
  AND THIS NAME, I TOLD HER, I SHOWED IT TO HER. I SAID, I
• 1:41:34
  DON'T EVEN WANT TO SHOW YOU, BUT I USED TO DATE THAT, AND SHE
• 1:41:35
  WENT, HUH? I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW. SOME HAPPENED FROM THE
• 1:41:41
  TIME OF HIGH SCHOOL TO NOW, BRENDA, AND IT AIN'T PRETTY.
• 1:41:48
  SOMETIMES IT'S A POINT OF REFERENCE. AND I REMEMBER HOW
• 1:41:54
  UPSET I WAS WHEN WE BROKE UP. POINT OF REFERENCE OF WHAT GOD
• 1:41:59
  DOESN'T HAVE FOR YOU, DIDN'T HAVE FOR YOU, AND THANK GOD,
• 1:42:02
  LOOK AT THAT GIRL. AMEN, LOOK AT THAT WOMAN. SO THAT'S MY POINT.
• 1:42:07
  DID Y'ALL GET MY POINT WITHOUT BEING WEIRD? I DON'T LIKE TO
• 1:42:09
  TALK ABOUT PAST RELATIONSHIPS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, WHO CARES?
• 1:42:11
  BUT THAT IS A GREAT POINT. I'M A PREACHER, SO I HAD TO MAKE THAT
• 1:42:14
  POINT. HERE'S THE THING. WHEN THE DOORS ARE SHUT, THEY
• 1:42:18
  ASSEMBLED IN FEAR. FEAR, COME ON. WHEN YOU'RE IN YOUR WAITING
• 1:42:23
  TIME, IT'S EASY TO SHUT PEOPLE OUT, TO SHUT YOUR PROMISE OFF,
• 1:42:31
  TO LOCK THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART. THEY LOCK THE DOOR OF THEIR
• 1:42:35
  HOUSE. DON'T LOCK YOUR HEART CONCERNING WHAT GOD HAS PROMISED
• 1:42:40
  YOU. HOW ABOUT THE WOMEN, JOHN 20, VERSES 1 THROUGH 5. WHEN IT
• 1:42:45
  WAS THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, MARY MAGDALENE, WHEN IT WAS
• 1:42:48
  DARK, COME ON, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE WAITING AND IT'S DARK,
• 1:42:51
  YOU GOTTA AVOID THAT FEELING OF DARK, THAT FEELING OF
• 1:42:55
  LONELINESS, THAT FEELING OF PAIN. AND THEN HERE'S THIS, MARY
• 1:42:59
  MAGDALENE IN JOHN CHAPTER 20, GUESS WHAT, IF YOU KEEP READING,
• 1:43:02
  SHE GOES AND SHE LOOKS INTO, IN HER MOMENT OF WAITING, AND YET
• 1:43:06
  SHE DIDN'T REALIZE HER PRAYER WAS ALREADY ANSWERED. SOMETIMES
• 1:43:14
  I'VE HAD GOD TELL ME THAT. HE SAID, HANK, JUST REST. LORD, HOW
• 1:43:21
  CAN I REST? I'VE BEEN PRAYING AND BELIEVING FOR THIS. HE SAID,
• 1:43:23
  IF YOU CAN SEE IT, IT'S ALREADY BEEN AGREED UPON. IT'S YES AND
• 1:43:28
  AMEN. I PUT THE GAVEL DOWN AND IT'S IN PROCESS OF COMING TO
• 1:43:34
  YOU. THAT'S WHY IT SAYS YOU HAVE TO HAVE FAITH AND PATIENCE. BUT
• 1:43:38
  SHE DIDN'T REALIZE JESUS HAD ALREADY RISEN FROM THE DEAD AND
• 1:43:43
  ALL SHE CAN FOCUS ON IS HER FEELINGS. YOU EVER DONE THAT
• 1:43:47
  WHEN YOU'RE WAITING? YOU JUST FOCUS ON YOUR FEELINGS. I'M
• 1:43:51
  HURT, I'M DISAPPOINTED, I'M MAD, I'M EMPTY. SHE LOOKED INSIDE THE
• 1:43:59
  TOMB. TALK ABOUT A FEELING OF EMPTINESS. I MEAN, THAT WAS A
• 1:44:05
  POWERFUL EASTER EXAMPLE RIGHT THERE. ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS?
• 1:44:10
  YES. MAYBE IT'S TOO SOMBERING OF AN EASTER MESSAGE OR SOMETHING,
• 1:44:14
  I DON'T KNOW, MAN, Y'ALL ARE JUST SO QUIET. I'M JUST TELLING
• 1:44:17
  YOU THE TRUTH. SO THE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING, MARY WENT
• 1:44:21
  OUTSIDE THE EMPTY TOMB, HER WAITING WAS MARKED BY DEEP
• 1:44:24
  SORROW, A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING. THE KEY TO THIS TIME IS DON'T
• 1:44:29
  LOOK AT THINGS ALWAYS NEGATIVE, RESIST THOSE EMPTY FEELINGS OF
• 1:44:34
  HOPELESSNESS. WE'RE IN A WAITING PERIOD, WE DON'T OFTEN KNOW
• 1:44:38
  EVERYTHING AND WHAT'S GOING TO EMERGE, BUT STAY WITH THE
• 1:44:43
  PROMISE AND THE HOPE. LET'S LOOK AT MATTHEW 27. THIS IS AN
• 1:44:47
  INTERESTING ONE. WE'RE ALMOST DONE ACTUALLY. MATTHEW 27,
• 1:44:52
  PASTOR DOUG, YOU CAN START MAKING YOUR WAY UP HERE, MAN.
• 1:44:54
  LOOK AT MATTHEW 27:62-66, AND YOU CAN GET ONE OF THOSE DONUTS,
• 1:44:59
  I DON'T WANT TO KEEP YOU WAITING FOR THAT.
• 1:45:02
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:45:03
  I DON'T WANT TO KEEP YOU WAITING. SOMEBODY GOT YOUR HAM
• 1:45:08
  IN THERE, WE DON'T WANT TO KEEP IT WAITING. NOW WATCH THIS, THIS
• 1:45:12
  IS THE ROMAN GUARDS. LET ME SHOW YOU THE EXAMPLE WITH THE ROMAN
• 1:45:16
  GUARDS, WHAT HAPPENS IN A SEASON OF WAITING. THIS IS REALLY
• 1:45:21
  IMPORTANT IF YOU'RE BELIEVING GOD FOR HEALING IN YOUR BODY.
• 1:45:25
  AND YOU'RE WAITING FOR THAT MANIFESTATION. YOU'RE WAITING
• 1:45:28
  FOR THAT PROMISE OF WHAT JESUS PAID FOR TO HAPPEN. CAN I TELL
• 1:45:33
  YOU SOMETHING? THIS IS A GREAT, THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE WATCHING,
• 1:45:36
  THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE. ALL RIGHT, WATCH THIS. NOW THE NEXT
• 1:45:39
  DAY, THEY FOLLOWED THE DAY OF THE PREPARATION. THE CHIEF
• 1:45:42
  PRIESTS AND THE PHARISEES CAME TOGETHER UNTO PILATE, SAYING,
• 1:45:45
  "SIR, WE REMEMBER "THAT THAT DECEIVER SAID," ALL RIGHT, STOP
• 1:45:50
  RIGHT THERE, "IN YOUR TIME OF WAITING, BE CAREFUL WHAT "AND
• 1:45:54
  WHO YOU LISTEN TO." SOMETIMES WE GET ON THE PHONE, OR WE TEXT
• 1:46:03
  WITH OUR PHONE, LETTING EVERYBODY KNOW ABOUT WHAT IT IS
• 1:46:07
  THAT WE'RE WAITING FOR, FRUSTRATED ABOUT IN LIFE. AND IF
• 1:46:11
  YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL, YOU GET SO MANY VOICES, YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO
• 1:46:14
  HEAR THE TRUE VOICE, OR THE RIGHT VOICES IN YOUR LIFE, OR
• 1:46:18
  HOW ABOUT THIS, THE VOICE OF GOD. ALL RIGHT, CALL JESUS A
• 1:46:22
  DECEIVER. IN THREE DAYS I'LL RISE AGAIN. NOW WATCH THIS. NOW
• 1:46:27
  THEY MADE UP A STORY, LEST HIS DISCIPLES COME BY NIGHT AND
• 1:46:30
  STEAL HIM AWAY. BE CAREFUL, BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ARE IN A
• 1:46:35
  WAITING PERIOD AND YOU KNOW WHAT GOD'S WORD SAYS. YOU KNOW BEFORE
• 1:46:42
  THE WAITING PERIOD WHAT WAS PROMISED. PEOPLE WILL MAKE UP
• 1:46:47
  ALL KINDS OF STUFF. AND LET ME TELL YOU THIS, THE DEVIL WILL
• 1:46:49
  TRY TO CONVINCE YOU OF ALL KINDS OF THINGS. NOTICE WHAT PILATE
• 1:46:55
  SAID, HE SAID, "GO AND WATCH, GO AND WAIT." BUT HERE'S WHAT WE
• 1:46:57
  HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IN THIS TIME. WHEN YOU'RE IN A WAITING PERIOD,
• 1:47:01
  YOU HAVE TO BE WISE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO EXPECTATION HERE.
• 1:47:05
  THOSE SOLDIERS, THEY WEREN'T EXPECTING ANYTHING. AND THIS IS
• 1:47:09
  WHAT IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS. THOSE SOLDIERS, THEY WERE NOT
• 1:47:13
  EXPECTING THAT BIG OLD MULTI-TON BOULDER IN FRONT OF THE
• 1:47:19
  SEPULCHER TO BE BLOWN OFF. THEY DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING
• 1:47:23
  SUPERNATURAL WAS ABOUT TO EMERGE. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
• 1:47:30
  SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL WAS ABOUT TO EMERGE. IT DID EMERGE. JESUS
• 1:47:35
  ROSE FROM THE DEAD WITH SUCH POWER. SOMETIMES WHEN WE'RE
• 1:47:40
  BELIEVING FOR OUR HEALING, WE CAN THROW THE SUPERNATURAL OUT.
• 1:47:44
  'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT, LORD, WE TRIED THAT. I TRIED THOSE
• 1:47:49
  HEALING SCRIPTURES. I TRIED, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PRAYER LINES
• 1:47:52
  I'VE BEEN IN. WHAT IS IT, 271. SO NOW YOU START DENYING THE
• 1:47:59
  SUPERNATURAL. YOU DON'T EXPECT THE SUPERNATURAL. YOU DON'T LOOK
• 1:48:03
  FOR THE SUPERNATURAL ANYMORE. THAT'S WHAT THOSE SOLDIERS DID.
• 1:48:06
  BUT YET THE SUPERNATURAL HIT THEM UPSIDE THE HEAD, KNOCKED
• 1:48:08
  THEM ALL OVER AS DEAD MEN BECAUSE SOMETHING DID EMERGE.
• 1:48:15
  LET'S GO ON TO THE NEXT ONE. THIS ONE, PASTOR BRENDA HAS
• 1:48:18
  OFTEN PREACHED ABOUT IT. IT'S LUKE 24, VERSE 13. AND THESE ARE
• 1:48:25
  THE TWO DISCIPLES. IT DIDN'T REALLY SAY WHICH ONES THEY WERE.
• 1:48:27
  WE'RE ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS. AND THEY WERE IN A STATE OF WAITING
• 1:48:31
  FOR ANSWERS. CAN YOU IMAGINE SOME OF THE THOUGHTS THAT WERE
• 1:48:36
  GOING ON IN THEIR HEAD? THEIR DISCUSSIONS. WELL, IT GIVES YOU
• 1:48:42
  A GLIMPSE OF THEIR DISCUSSION, OF WHAT THEY WERE THINKING THAT
• 1:48:47
  OFTEN IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE'RE WAITING. VERSE 13, "AND BEHOLD,
• 1:48:50
  TWO OF THEM WENT THE SAME DAY "TO A VILLAGE CALLED EMMAUS."
• 1:48:53
  NOW THAT'S 15 MILES OR SO OFF OF WHERE JESUS SAID THE PROMISE
• 1:48:58
  WOULD BE. AND IT CAME TO PASS, VERSE 15, "WHILE THEY COMMUNED
• 1:49:03
  TOGETHER AND REASONED," THAT'S THE DANGER OF WAITING. WE REASON
• 1:49:07
  AMONG OURSELVES, WE GET IN OUR HEAD AND START FORMULATING IDEAS
• 1:49:14
  ABOUT WHY IT'S NOT HAPPENING, WHY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, WHY IT
• 1:49:17
  SHOULD HAPPEN, WHY, YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN? WE START
• 1:49:20
  GETTING OVER INTO HUMAN REASONING. AND CAN I TELL YOU,
• 1:49:24
  THEY WERE 15 MILES OFF COURSE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR
• 1:49:30
  WAITING TIME WHEN WE START GETTING INTO OUR HEAD AND
• 1:49:32
  REASONING AMONG OURSELVES, YOU'RE GONNA GET OFF COURSE IN
• 1:49:35
  LIFE, RIGHT? I'VE SEEN IT AFFECT PEOPLE WITH MARRIAGE, SPOUSE
• 1:49:41
  BELIEVING. I'VE SEEN IT IN PEOPLE WHEN IT CAME TO JOBS AND
• 1:49:46
  OCCUPATION, MINISTRY CALLINGS, BUSINESSES, BLESSINGS. THEY
• 1:49:53
  START REASONING AND FIGURING OUT IN THEIR HEAD HOW TO MAKE IT
• 1:49:58
  HAPPEN. OR THEY START REASONING WHY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN, SO NOW
• 1:50:02
  THEY GOT OTHER PLANS. BUT THE PROBLEM IS YOU'RE 15 MILES OFF
• 1:50:08
  COURSE. YOU'RE OFF COURSE OF WHERE YOU NEED TO BE 'CAUSE YOU
• 1:50:10
  DIDN'T STAY WITH WHAT GOD HAD TOLD YOU OR PLANNED OR HIS
• 1:50:16
  PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE. VERSE 21, NEW CENTURY VERSION. THIS IS
• 1:50:21
  WHAT THEY SAID, THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID. WE WERE HOPING THAT
• 1:50:26
  JESUS WOULD FREE ISRAEL. BESIDES, IT'S NOW THE THIRD DAY.
• 1:50:32
  I PUT UP THE CENTURY, CEV IF THEY DON'T MIND. I DON'T KNOW
• 1:50:34
  WHO DOES THAT IN THE BACK, BUT YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB TODAY.
• 1:50:37
  LET'S GIVE THEM A HAND CLAP. I WANT YOU THAT ARE WATCHING
• 1:50:39
  AROUND THE WORLD TO SEE THE CEV VERSION, WHICH IS WHAT, IS THAT
• 1:50:43
  THE CHURCH? NO, IT'S THE COMMON CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH VERSION,
• 1:50:49
  YEAH. WE HOPED, COME ON, WE HOPED, AGAIN, HOPE DEFERRED. WE
• 1:50:56
  HOPED THAT HE WOULD BE THE ONE, BUT IT'S ALREADY BEEN THREE DAYS
• 1:51:02
  SINCE ALL THIS HAPPENED, OR ONE TRANSLATION SAID, I DON'T
• 1:51:05
  REMEMBER WHICH ONE I HAD HERE, SAYS, "BUT NOTHING HAS
• 1:51:08
  HAPPENED." NOTHING HAS HAPPENED, OKAY? YEAH, IT DID. IT WAS RIGHT
• 1:51:17
  THERE WALKING WITH THEM, AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE IT.
• 1:51:21
  SOMETIMES WE CAN GET SO CAUGHT UP IN OUR MOMENT OF FRUSTRATION,
• 1:51:27
  WE DON'T SEE THE BLESSING SLAPPING US RIGHT IN THE FACE.
• 1:51:33
  ALL RIGHT, LOOK AT THIS, JOHN 20, VERSE 19, AMPLIFIED. SO WHEN
• 1:51:36
  IT WAS EVENING OF THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, THE DISCIPLES WERE
• 1:51:40
  MEETING BEHIND LOCKED DOORS, AND JESUS CAME AND STOOD BEHIND THEM
• 1:51:45
  AND SAID, "PEACE BE UNTO YOU." HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS IN WAITING
• 1:51:48
  PERIOD, WE LIVE BOUND. WE PUT UP WALLS, BUT HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE
• 1:51:54
  TO DO. WE HAVE TO LEARN TO PURSUE PEACE, RECEIVE PEACE, AND
• 1:51:59
  WALK IN PEACE WHEN YOU DON'T THINK THAT IT'S HAPPENED. THAT'S
• 1:52:03
  WHY JESUS CAME. ALL RIGHT, LET'S STAND TO OUR FEET. THE LAST ONE,
• 1:52:07
  THIS IS REALLY POWERFUL. I GOT TWO MORE TO SHOW. LOOK AT JOHN
• 1:52:12
  21, VERSE 3, OUT OF THE AMPLIFIED. HERE'S THE ONE THAT
• 1:52:16
  PROBABLY IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST ONES. AND I CAN TELL YOU, I HAD
• 1:52:21
  THIS HAPPEN TO ME A FEW TIMES IN MY LIFE. AND I HAD TO JUST GRAB
• 1:52:27
  AHOLD OF MY HEART STRINGS AND SAY, NO, NO, NO. SIMON PETER
• 1:52:34
  SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES, WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE THE WAITING PERIOD,
• 1:52:38
  NOTHING WAS HAPPENING, NOTHING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, NOTHING
• 1:52:41
  GOOD. COME ON, WHAT DOES ROMANS 8 SAY? AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE
• 1:52:44
  WATCHING TODAY, REMEMBER ALL THINGS, NOT SOME, ALL THINGS
• 1:52:48
  WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD. NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE FACING, IT'S
• 1:52:51
  ALWAYS GONNA TURN OUT GOOD FOR THOSE THAT LOVE GOD AND ARE
• 1:52:55
  CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. WE KNOW THAT GOD IS GOOD. NOW,
• 1:53:00
  LET'S GO BACK TO THAT VERSE OF JOHN 21. I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS.
• 1:53:04
  LOOK AT WHAT PETER SAID. SO IN HIS TIME OF WAITING, HE SAYS TO
• 1:53:07
  HIS DISCIPLES, HEY MAN, I'M OUTTA HERE, BOYS. I'M GONNA GO
• 1:53:13
  FISHING. I'M OUTTA HERE, I'M GONNA GO BACK TO WHAT MAKES ME
• 1:53:17
  FEEL GOOD, MAKES ME FEEL COMFORTABLE. BUT AGAIN, JUST
• 1:53:20
  LIKE THE TWO ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS, HE WAS OFF COURSE.
• 1:53:24
  THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE CALLED TO DO, PETER. YOU WEREN'T CALLED TO
• 1:53:28
  GO BACK TO FISHING. YOU WERE CALLED TO BECOME ONE OF THE MOST
• 1:53:31
  POWERFUL EMERGING VESSELS THAT WOULD BE KNOWN IN THE HISTORY OF
• 1:53:36
  THE CHURCH. AND YOU'RE GOING BACK TO FISHING, WHY? 'CAUSE IN
• 1:53:40
  WAITING, AVOID THE TEMPTATION, AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE
• 1:53:43
  LISTENING TO ME IN YOUR LIVING ROOM, AVOID QUITTING. GET RID OF
• 1:53:49
  THE QUIT SPIRIT. GET RID OF THE I CAN'T SPIRIT. GET RID OF THE
• 1:53:53
  IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I DON'T BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN. YOU'RE
• 1:53:56
  NO DIFFERENT THAN PETER. YOU'RE GONNA QUIT GOING TO CHURCH AND
• 1:54:00
  YOU'RE GONNA QUIT. YOU'RE GONNA QUIT GETTING INVOLVED. YOU'RE
• 1:54:05
  NOT GONNA BECOME A MEMBER, AN E-MEMBER, A MEMBER IN THE CHURCH
• 1:54:08
  BECAUSE, OH I'M GONNA GO BACK TO FISHING. I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE
• 1:54:11
  HURT AGAIN. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT PETER WAS SAYING, HE WAS HURT.
• 1:54:17
  BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS TODAY. AS I END THIS MESSAGE, WE'RE
• 1:54:23
  STILL NOW AFTER THE STONE HAS BEEN BLOWN OFF THE GRAVE AND
• 1:54:29
  BACK UP ON THE HILL. WE AS CHRISTIANS, THE CROSS IS EMPTY,
• 1:54:37
  THE GRAVE IS EMPTY, BUT IN HEAVEN, HE'S SEATED AT THE RIGHT
• 1:54:41
  HAND OF GOD THE FATHER. AND NOW, ONCE AGAIN, HIS PEOPLE ARE IN A
• 1:54:46
  TIME OF WAITING AGAIN. AND THIS IS WHY THE BIBLE SAYS YOU NEED
• 1:54:53
  TO SAY "MARANATHA" IN THE BIBLE. PERHAPS TODAY, PERHAPS TODAY FOR
• 1:54:59
  WHAT? HE'S TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING. LOOK AT THIS, ACTS
• 1:55:03
  CHAPTER 1. JESUS IS GETTING READY TO ASCEND AFTER 50 DAYS.
• 1:55:09
  HE DIED ON THE CROSS, HE ROSE FROM THE GRAVE, WENT DOWN INTO
• 1:55:14
  HELL, TOOK AWAY FROM THE DEVIL AND EVERY DEMON, STRIPPED HIM OF
• 1:55:18
  ALL THE RUBIES AND EVERYTHING, RIGHT? THE JEWELS THAT WERE IN
• 1:55:22
  SATAN, AND SNATCHED THE KEYS TO DEATH, HELL, AND THE GRAVE,
• 1:55:26
  KICKED EVERY ONE OF SATAN AND HIS DEMONS, IT'S EASTER SUNDAY,
• 1:55:33
  GLUTEUS MAXIMUS, THAT'S HEBREW FOR BOOTY. KICKED IT ALL. AND
• 1:55:43
  THEN NOW, 50 DAYS LATER, WATCH THIS, LOOK AT WHAT, "AND WHEN HE
• 1:55:47
  HAD SPOKEN THESE THINGS, "WHILE BEHOLD, HE WAS TAKEN UP AND
• 1:55:49
  RECEIVED OUT OF SIGHT. "ALL THE DISCIPLES, ALL THE PEOPLE, "500
• 1:55:54
  OF THEM AT ONE TIME SAID, "THE ANGEL SAID, YOU MEN OF GALILEE,
• 1:55:57
  "WHY ARE YOU STANDING UP HERE LOOKING? "THIS SAME JESUS WHICH
• 1:56:00
  WAS TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN, "I'M SORRY, BUT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
• 1:56:03
  WAIT. "HE'S GONNA COME AGAIN." LAST SCRIPTURE, TITUS 2, VERSE
• 1:56:10
  13, LOOK AT WHAT THIS ONE SAYS. IT SAYS, I THINK THE NIV, THIS
• 1:56:16
  IS LOOKING, BUT THAT WORD IS WAITING. WE ARE NOW WAITING FOR
• 1:56:20
  THAT BLESSED HOPE OF THE GLORIOUS APPEARING OF THE GREAT
• 1:56:25
  GOD AND OUR SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. HEAVENLY FATHER, WE
• 1:56:30
  HONOR YOU TODAY. IN OUR WAITING, WE WILL NOT GET DISCOURAGED, WE
• 1:56:34
  WILL NOT QUIT, WE WILL NOT LOOK FOR THINGS THAT APPEAR EMPTY. WE
• 1:56:39
  WILL LOOK RATHER FOR THE THINGS OF YOUR WORD THAT YOU'VE
• 1:56:42
  PROMISED AND THE THINGS OF YOUR SPIRIT THAT YOU HAVE SPOKEN
• 1:56:45
  PROPHETICALLY OVER OUR LIVES, TO OUR LIVES, ABOUT OUR LIVES, OUR
• 1:56:49
  FAMILY, AND ALL THINGS THAT CONCERN US. AND TODAY WE REFUSE
• 1:56:53
  TO BE LIKE PETER. WE WILL NOT QUIT. WE WILL NOT GO BACK AND
• 1:56:58
  GET OFF COURSE LIKE THE TWO ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS. WE WILL NOT
• 1:57:02
  LOCK THE DOORS AND SHUT YOU OUT OF THE PEOPLE. BUT THIS DAY WE
• 1:57:07
  RECEIVE YOUR PEACE AND YOUR PROMISE AND WE GO FORWARD AND
• 1:57:11
  LIKE THE BOOK OF TITUS, WE WAIT WITH GREAT EXPECTATION OF YOU,
• 1:57:18
  OUR GOD, AND OUR RISEN KING TO RETURN FOR US, YOUR PEOPLE. AND
• 1:57:24
  ALL THE PEOPLE SAID, AMEN. PASTOR DOUG, COME. PRAISE GOD.
• 1:57:28
  GIVE PASTOR HANK A HAND. WHAT AN EXCELLENT MESSAGE FOR
• 1:57:33
  RESURRECTION DAY. YOU CAN BE SEATED FOR JUST A MOMENT. IF YOU
• 1:57:37
  ARE ASSIGNED TO WORK SOMEWHERE, LIKE THE CONNECT CAFE, TO
• 1:57:41
  CONTINUE PUTTING THOSE LITTLE SPECIAL RESURRECTION TOMB DONUTS
• 1:57:45
  TOGETHER I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL THEM. THAT WAS GREAT. BUT
• 1:57:49
  YOU'RE WELCOME TO GO TO YOUR SPOT. THE REST OF YOU, I'M JUST
• 1:57:52
  GOING TO KEEP YOU I WON'T KEEP YOU MORE THAN ANOTHER HALF AN
• 1:57:56
  HOUR OR SOMETHING. NO, I'M JUST JOKING. JUST A COUPLE MINUTES
• 1:57:58
  HERE. AND AS WE WIND UP, YOU KNOW, I'M GOING TO ASK THE ALTAR
• 1:58:02
  TEAM IF YOU'D COME FORWARD AT THIS POINT IN TIME. WE HAVE A
• 1:58:05
  GREAT ALTAR TEAM HERE. AND IF YOU HAVE PRAYER NEEDS TODAY, YOU
• 1:58:09
  WANT SOMEONE TO JOIN WITH YOU FOR PRAYER IN YOUR LIFE, OUR
• 1:58:13
  ALTAR TEAM ARE EXPERIENCED PRAYER WARRIORS, AND THEY ARE
• 1:58:20
  READY, WILLING, AND ABLE TO PRAY AND AGREE WITH YOU FOR YOUR
• 1:58:23
  NEEDS TODAY, WHATEVER THEY MAY BE. BUT LET ME JUST ADDRESS ONE
• 1:58:27
  MORE THING BEFORE I ASK YOU TO COME UP AND WE DISMISS TODAY.
• 1:58:32
  PASTOR BRENDA PRAYED A WONDERFUL PRAYER THIS MORNING, AND IT WAS
• 1:58:37
  A PRAYER OF SALVATION. AND THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOME OF YOU
• 1:58:40
  HERE, I KNOW WE HAVE GUESTS HERE TODAY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR
• 1:58:44
  FIRST TIME TO PRAY THAT PRAYER, ASKING JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR
• 1:58:48
  HEART. AND THAT'S WHERE IT ALL STARTS. AND PASTOR AND PASTOR
• 1:58:53
  BRENDA DID A WONDERFUL JOB TALKING ABOUT THE ABUNDANT LIFE
• 1:58:56
  AND ALL THE BENEFITS OF HAVING JESUS IN YOUR LIFE. IN ADDITION
• 1:59:01
  TO THAT, IF YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER TODAY, IT SECURES YOUR
• 1:59:05
  FUTURE ALSO, BECAUSE WHAT IT DOES IS ALLOW YOU TO TRANSITION
• 1:59:10
  INTO WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS THE NEW BIRTH. BECOMING A CHRISTIAN
• 1:59:15
  IS A GREAT THING BECAUSE IT ALSO MEANS THAT YOU HAVE ETERNITY
• 1:59:20
  WITH JESUS CHRIST. SOMEDAY WE'RE ALL GONNA LEAVE THIS EARTH.
• 1:59:24
  WE'RE ALL GONNA LEAVE. WE'RE ALL GONNA EITHER PASS AWAY OR WE'LL
• 1:59:26
  GO IN THE RAPTURE WHEN JESUS COMES BACK. ONE OF THE TWO. BUT
• 1:59:32
  YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION TO RECEIVE HIM AND KNOW THAT YOU'RE
• 1:59:35
  PART OF THAT GROUP. MANY OF YOU DID THAT TODAY, I BELIEVE. MANY
• 1:59:38
  OF YOU HAVE BEEN CHRISTIANS FOR MANY YEARS. I'M JUST GONNA DO
• 1:59:42
  ONE MORE THING, THOUGH, BECAUSE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU
• 1:59:44
  KNOW WHAT TO DO TO WALK IT OUT. WE REFER TO IT SOMETIMES LIKE
• 1:59:50
  FOUR LEGS ON A TABLE. ONCE YOU RECEIVE JESUS, THERE'S FOUR LEGS
• 1:59:55
  TO THE TABLE TO KEEP THE TABLE SECURE. IF YOU ONLY HAVE TWO
• 1:59:57
  LEGS OR YOU ONLY HAVE ONE, THAT TABLE WILL FALL OVER EASILY. SO
• 2:00:03
  THE FOUR LEGS ARE THIS. YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO READ GOD'S WORD.
• 2:00:07
  YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PRAY OR COMMUNICATE WITH GOD. AND IT'S
• 2:00:09
  JUST TALKING TO GOD. IN OTHER WORDS, IT STARTS WITH A SIMPLE
• 2:00:14
  PRAYER OF SALVATION, BUT THEN YOU NEED TO MOVE ON. IT'S ALSO
• 2:00:17
  IMPORTANT TO BE IN ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH, WHETHER IT'S ONLINE OR
• 2:00:20
  HERE PHYSICALLY. AND THEN FOURTHLY, RELATIONSHIPS ARE SO
• 2:00:24
  IMPORTANT. WHO DO YOU HANG AROUND WITH? WHO'S YOUR FRIENDS?
• 2:00:28
  WHO DO YOU SPEND TIME WITH? I WANNA HELP YOU WITH THAT TODAY.
• 2:00:31
  I'M JUST GONNA ASK YOU TO BOW YOUR HEADS AGAIN ONE MORE TIME
• 2:00:34
  WITH ME AND WE'RE GONNA DISMISS SHORTLY. IT'S ONLY 11 O'CLOCK,
• 2:00:39
  WE'RE OUT OF HERE EARLY TODAY ON EASTER SUNDAY. BUT IF TODAY YOU
• 2:00:43
  MADE THAT DECISION FOR JESUS CHRIST, YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER
• 2:00:47
  FOR THE FIRST TIME OR YOU RECOMMITTED YOUR LIFE TO GOD, I
• 2:00:51
  WANNA KNOW, NO ONE'S LOOKING AROUND, EVERYONE'S HEAD IS
• 2:00:54
  BOWED, I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN SEE YOU TODAY. IF THAT WAS YOU,
• 2:00:59
  I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO RAISE YOUR HAND QUICKLY AND SAY, "PASTOR
• 2:01:01
  DOUG, I PRAYED THAT INITIAL PRAYER, "I WANNA KNOW THAT I'M
• 2:01:05
  ON MY WAY TO HEAVEN, "I WANNA SECURE MY FUTURE, IT WAS A GREAT
• 2:01:09
  THING TO DO." YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME,
• 2:01:11
  JUST RAISE YOUR HAND QUICKLY AND PUT IT DOWN, I WANNA SEE YOUR
• 2:01:14
  HANDS TODAY. IF YOU PRAYED THAT PRAYER WITH PASTOR BRENDA AND
• 2:01:18
  THAT WAS YOUR FIRST TIME TO MAKE A DECISION FOR CHRIST, YOU WANNA
• 2:01:22
  KNOW THAT YOU WERE, OR MAYBE YOU DIDN'T PRAY ALONG WITH THAT
• 2:01:24
  PRAYER, BUT TODAY IS YOUR DAY AND YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR SURE
• 2:01:28
  YOU WANNA MAKE THAT DECISION. I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO RAISE YOUR
• 2:01:30
  HAND. ANYONE HERE IN THE PLACE MADE THAT DECISION FOR JESUS? DO
• 2:01:36
  WE HAVE A HAND? OKAY, I SEE ONE UP THERE. ANYONE ELSE? ANYONE
• 2:01:41
  ELSE? THERE'S A COUPLE OTHERS HERE, I BELIEVE. ONE MORE THING,
• 2:01:45
  THE HOLY SPIRIT'S SHOWING ME SOMETHING. YOU'RE HERE TODAY AND
• 2:01:49
  YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN, BUT YOU HAVE GOTTEN INTO RELATIONSHIPS WITH
• 2:01:55
  FRIENDS, JUST WHAT I MENTIONED, AND THAT'S YOU THAT I'M SPEAKING
• 2:01:59
  TO. YOU'VE GOTTEN INVOLVED IN SOME FRIENDSHIPS AND
• 2:02:02
  RELATIONSHIPS, PEOPLE YOU'RE SPENDING TIME WITH, THAT YOU
• 2:02:06
  KNOW IN YOUR HEART AREN'T GODLY. THEY'VE PULLED YOU BACK, THEY'VE
• 2:02:09
  PULLED YOU AWAY FROM GOD, AND YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SERVE
• 2:02:12
  GOD IN THE WAY THAT YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD. YOU FELT CONVICTION
• 2:02:15
  ABOUT THAT, AND THAT'S THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKING IN YOUR LIFE. BUT
• 2:02:18
  NOW YOU NEED TO JUST COME FORWARD TODAY AND SAY, I WANNA
• 2:02:22
  MAKE THIS A NEW DAY OF COMMITMENT. I'M GONNA START
• 2:02:26
  ASSOCIATING WITH PEOPLE THAT WILL KEEP ME ON TRACK. THAT'S SO
• 2:02:30
  IMPORTANT, BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN PULL YOU THE WRONG DIRECTION.
• 2:02:34
  BECAUSE YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN LONELY, YOU GOT OFF TRACK.
• 2:02:37
  THAT'S OKAY, YOU JUST MAKE A DECISION TO TURN FROM THAT. WHO
• 2:02:40
  IS THAT TODAY AND YOU SAY, I NEED TO MAKE THAT DECISION, I
• 2:02:43
  NEED TO MAKE THAT DECISION, RAISE YOUR HAND QUICKLY, IF
• 2:02:45
  THAT'S YOU, OKAY, I SEE THE HANDS. EVERYONE THAT RAISED YOUR
• 2:02:49
  HAND TODAY, FOR WHATEVER REASON, THIS ALTAR TEAM HERE IS PREPARED
• 2:02:53
  AND HONORED TO PRAY WITH YOU, WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU
