  Speaker 1: Complexities thereof, that somebody's going to find grace to make changes.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: If you're not living the life you love, you have
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the power to change it. If you're not living the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: life that God loves for you to have, you have
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the power to change it. But you must find grace
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to make changes. changes will not be easy let's pray
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: while we're standing.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Spirit of the living God fall fresh on us today
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: overshadow us with the kind of anointing that changes lives
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: that establishes peace that consecrates us now open our minds
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and our thinking and our intellect for it is with
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: the mind that we serve the Lord Increase our capacity
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to receive.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: The intensity of this text. In Jesus' name we pray.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Somebody who loves him shout amen. You may be seated
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: in the presence of God. Let's go to work. We're
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in the book of Genesis. The book of beginnings. It
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: is the soul from which our theology emerges. It is
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the rooting system from which we get a peek into
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the mind and the characteristics of God. It is here
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that we begin to understand how God unveils, unveils his
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: plan for man. Like a scroll, he unveils it. Like
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: in a museum, he exposes it, lifting the curtain from it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the apocalypse to unveil truth. What is hidden in the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Old Testament is revealed in the new. The Old Testament
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: has been given to us as a schoolmaster through which
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: we might extrapolate grace and truth and learn the character
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and the nature of God. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I want to put your Bible in a different perspective today.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: The text before us today requires a bit of context.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Text without context is dangerous. The other day somebody ripped
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: just a 20 second piece of a message I preached
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: on Father's Day. And the text without context went viral.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Everybody had something to say about it. So the lesson
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: that we can learn, I didn't care. I didn't. I
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: didn't because I know what I meant. I know what
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I meant and I know I can stand. You can't
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: take 20 seconds and tear down 25 years. And all
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the women who know I am for you, make some noise.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Make some noise. That's why I don't care. But the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: same danger that happens when you take anything, any text
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and isolate it and reinterpret it, it's the same danger
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: we have when we go into the word of God.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: We have the propensity to snatch scriptures and use them
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: as we will. Even church folks will get into a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: fight in the family amongst friends in the marriage and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: throw scriptures at each other. often out of context just
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to win the point. So this particular text, it is
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: vitally important how this is edited and distributed because a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: text out of context loses its relevance and its truth.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I want to hopefully contextualize the times surrounding the occurrence
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: because I think that's important. What was going on in
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the times? What was going on in the age? What
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: was going on in the era that led God to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: such a drastic place of frustration. Because in the text,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: God is frustrated. He is frustrated. He said, I'm sorry
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I made man. The text literally says, I repent that
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I made him. Now, when you think of repent, it's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: an anthropomorphic term. It doesn't really mean repentance like we repent,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: but it is the closest word that we would understand
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: anything To a sovereign God's frustration over the predicaments we
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: have come to. Continually wicked. Every thought and imagination is evil.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: God is disgusting. Yes ma'am you got it right. You
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: got where I'm going even now. As it was then
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: so is it now. But you made me get ahead
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of myself. Then explain why. See, we so in sync
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that we know what we're going to do before we
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: do it because we got it like that. That's why
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I like to preach at the potter's house. Once we
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: then contextualize the time surrounding the occurrence, then I want
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to explain why such drastic occurrences transpired as an almost
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: complete human genocide. Do you understand that? what the flood
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: was to humanity. You're talking about genocide of a race.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: This is genocide of the human race. And out of
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: all of the people that adorned the planet, only eight
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: souls were saved. And God crushed everything, brought it down
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to his lowest common denominator. And if you would visualize
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the flood, It would not feel quite so wonderful to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: watch people drowning and screaming and babies gurgling up under
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the water and entire families crushed up under the judgment
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of God indiscriminate of your screams or your age or
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: your gender. When he got ready to wipe out, he
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: totally annihilated everything. The third thing I want to do
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: is challenge your ideas about fear and faith. I want
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to challenge it. I want to challenge your ideas about
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: fear and faith as if they were always enemies. I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: want you to rethink fear and faith cohabitating in your
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: human experience. Because say whatever you want to say. There's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: not a person of faith in this room that doesn't
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: also have fear. So you can quote scriptures all you want.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You can say whatever you want today. But at the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: end of the day, I want to talk about how
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: fear and faith can work for you or against you.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I want to eradicate your natural but debilitating need to
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: fit in rather than stand out. Because so much of
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: our energy is invested in fitting in. We dress to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: fit in. We walk to fit in. We change our
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: vernacular to fit in. We do whatever we have to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: do to fit in. If Noah would have fit in,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: he would have drowned in the flood. So if Noah
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: had been the type of person who was trying to
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: keep up with the culture, he would have drowned in
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the culture. And I am challenging you in this message
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: today to have the courage to resist the downward tug
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of being caught into a vortex of a drowning society.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: If you are not willing to stand out, get out
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the room right now. Click me off right now. If
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: fitting in is more important than standing out, turn me
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: off right now. And stop telling people you're a Christian.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Because Jesus didn't fit in with nobody. He stood out.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: He charted his own course. And he made his own way.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm trying to empower you to have the courage
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and the fortitude and the discipline to stand on your convictions.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And not your crowd. And not your culture. And not
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: your generation. And not your ethnicity or anything else. You've
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: got to stand on what you believe. I want to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: guide you to the importance of embracing and incorporating your
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: God-given uniqueness. you are fearfully and marvelously made. There will never,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: ever be another you. They can dress like you, they
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: can walk like you, they can put on your shoes.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: There'll never be you. Never has been another you. Never
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: will be another you. If you got a twin, he
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: ain't you. You're in a class all by yourself. When
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: God made you, he broke the mold And he didn't
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: put all of that uniqueness in you. down to your
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: voice print and your fingerprint and your hair follicles and
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: your DNA for you to melt into the mush of
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a drowning society. So those are the five goals. And
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: we have a lot to cover. So let me go
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to work. A man named John Nelson Darby lived in
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the 1800s. He lived in the 1800s. He was born
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: in November. He died in 1882, 82 years old. He
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: was an Anglo-Irish Bible teacher, one of the influential figures
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: among the original Plymouth brethren and the founder of the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Exclusive Brother. He is considered to be the father of
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: modern dispensationalism and futurism. Now, don't let that dispensationalism get
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: you tangled up because dispensationalism doesn't change the text. It
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: merely categorizes it. It's a fouling of the text, what
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: system you foul it in, which enables you to see
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the broadness of the scope of God's plan from a
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: dispensationalist perspective. It is a particular hermeneutic or analytical system
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: for interpreting the Bible based on a literal translation and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: which stands in contrast to earlier belief systems like Calvinism
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: because Calvinism sees the Bible through covenants. It is not
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: a disagreement about the Bible. It is a disagreement about
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: how the Bible is best explained. Are you following what
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? Now, Disagreement exists between covenant theology and dispensationalism.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Regarding the meaning of revelation, covenant theology views the New
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Testament as the key to interpreting the Old Testament. Okay?
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: As the key to interpreting the Old Testament, we must
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: look at the New Testament. That is the way they think. Therefore,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: concepts such as the biblical covenants and promises to Israel
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: are believed to be interpreted by the New Testament as
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: applying to the church. So what God said to Israel
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: up under covenant theology, they think it applies to the church.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe true, more likely not true. It is kind of
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: dangerous for me to write a letter to my wife saying,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that I give to Pastor Val as her truth. So
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to assume that what God has said in the Old
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Testament applies to us might in some cases danger the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: theology of what you're trying to understand. To break it
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: down in the street language, stop reading other folks' mail.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Highly dispensational is subscribed to another hermeneutical view. I'm going
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to get to where you're going. Just wait on me.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I need to lay this foundation. You must understand then
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that the definition of this word is adherence to or
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: advocacy of a system of interpreting history in terms of
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: a series of God's dispensations. It's just understanding it through dispensations.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I hand an accountant a million dollars and how she
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: puts it in columns depends on her understanding of it,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: but it does not diminish its worth. So the word
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of God is the word of God. But what we
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: are debating about is how we explain and what category
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: we put each period in. Are you understanding what I'm saying?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: There are many so-called dispensationalists, and I'm not saying that
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I am one, but I do understand to some degree
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the rudiment ideology of dispensationalism, even though it only started
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: in the 1800s. There is the dispensation of innocence from
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the creation to the fall. All my Fison people are
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: saying amen and yes. I know, I know, I know,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, you know this stuff. It is
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the dispensation of innocence which begins from the creation to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: To the fall of Adam. This is called innocence because
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Adam didn't even know that he was naked. They were
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: innocent and all things were pure before them. And God
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: even had to ask him, who told you that you
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: were naked? Now, can you imagine walking around naked and
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: paying it no attention? I can't hardly imagine that, but
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the animals do it all the time. Innocence. So innocence
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: prevailed over this era because God had put them in
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: a place mentally that they did not regard nudity as obscenity.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: So the man and the woman would walk around in
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the garden, you know. How you doing? I'll leave that alone.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: This is... The second dispensation is called consciousness. And it
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: is from the fall of man when man fell in
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the garden to the flood because all of that period
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: didn't have laws, didn't have rules. All it had was conscious.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: It had conscious ruling the area. Now, this is important
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: because this is from the fall of man to the flood.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: So what we are reading in Genesis 6 is coming
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to the end of the era of consciousness. Okay? At
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the end of the era of doing according to whatever
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: your heads say do. So when God says every imagination
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: in the heart of man was evil, It showed that
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: when we are left to ourselves, we only wax worse.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I was in Kiev and I was on a tour
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: while I was in Kiev years ago. And the lady
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: told me that when communism became pervasive in their society
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and they got rid of all religion, they found out
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: that depravity became so overwhelming that it almost destroyed the culture.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: That religion is some kind of barrier that stops the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: culture from becoming totally decadent. It's not that we're totally good,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: but it stops us from becoming totally bad because it
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: yanks you back into place. And in the absence of
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: any type of theology, their culture began to wax worse
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: and worse and worse. And she's telling me this standing
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: in front of a church where churches had been outlawed.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: So we are standing in a place now where there
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: are no churches and there is no real theology and
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: there are no preachers and there is no law. So
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: with the absence of all of that, the heart of
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: man became more and more wicked. Until it repented God
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: that he had ever made him. Because God made you
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: to be in his likeness and in his image. And
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: yet you were trying to be in their likeness and
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: their image. Y'all didn't get that. Here you are trying
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: to fit in with the culture and the culture didn't
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: make you. If you would spend half as much energy
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: trying to be like God instead of trying to be
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: like them, you would achieve the purpose of God and
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: God would not regret you. I do not want my
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: father to regret me. He can chastise me. He can
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: correct me. He can fix me. But I don't want
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: him to look at me and say, I'm sorry I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: ever had you. The power of that blow is more
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: than my heart could bear. But that is the power
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: of the text before us today. The father is looking
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: at the child and saying, I'm sorry I had you.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: The vessel that was made of clay has become marred
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: in the hand of the potter and he has decided
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: to totally disrupt what it is in the hopes that
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: it may become a vessel with whom he can be
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: well pleased. Jeremiah 18, Jeremiah, what is 18? It's playing
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: out in Genesis 6. This is the story of humanity,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the potter and the clay marred in the hands of
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the potter. The decision now has to be made. Do
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I totally destroy it or do I make it again
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: another vessel? And we're standing on the precipice of this
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: decision in this text today. And we are feeling the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: angst of the creator And the intense disappointment that God
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: has when we fail to live up to his intention
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: for our lives. I don't have to live up to
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: your intention for my life. I don't have to live
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: up to your intention for my life. I don't have
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: to live up. to your intention. I don't have to
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: live up to your intention for your life, but I
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: must live up to his intention for my life. Noah
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: will end the air of consciousness. He will sail from
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the shores of consciousness Into the safety of Mount Arad
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: and begin human government. And then government emerges. So human
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: government is from the flood. Can I finish this just
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit? Just to put some contextualization to it.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Human government is from the flood to Abram. And during
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: this period, you have patriarchal rules and you begin to
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: set up government and order and structure enters into the
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: creative story, which originally was not there. When Abram comes along,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: we come into the dispensation of promise. Because above everything else,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Abram has a promise. Somebody says, Abram has a promise.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: All he has is a promise. He doesn't have details.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: He doesn't have revelation. He doesn't have understanding. But God
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: just says, get me out of that country and away
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: from that kindred and go to a place that I
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: will show you. And I will make of you a
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: great nation. And I will make your name great. And
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I will bless them that bless you. And I will
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: curse them that curse you. And everywhere your feet trod,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I will give you the land. I'm not going to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: tell you how I'm going to give it to you.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you I don't know how.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you none of that stuff.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: All I'm going to do is give you a promise.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: There are people in this room, all you have is
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: a promise. You don't know when. You don't know how.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: You don't know where. You don't know what it's going
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: to take. But like Abraham, you have moved on a promise.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: You have left on a promise. You have stood on
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: a promise. And you don't have no details. And it
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: gets on your nerves when people ask you for details
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: because all you have is a promise. And you don't
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: know how. And you don't know how God's going to
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: fix it. And you don't know when he's going to
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: do it. So stop asking me for questions that I
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: don't have answers to. And if you're going to walk
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: with me, you got to walk by faith. You can't
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: walk by sight. You got to walk by faith or
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: you can't walk with me. Make some noise if I'm
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: talking to you. I asked my wife the other day,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I said, baby, you trust me? She said, yeah, I
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: trust you. I said, good. I'm going to take you somewhere,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: but I'm not going to tell you where. And I
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: want to be able to pack your stuff to celebrate
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: you without you asking any questions. And she never asked
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: me another word. That comes from trust. She still don't
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: know where I'm going to take her. I pulled her
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: clothes together and said, you like that? Is that okay?
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Change anything you want to change? Do whatever you want
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: to do. She said, it's fine. She packed to go somewhere.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: She don't even know where it is. But she has
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: a promise. Y'all don't hear what I'm saying. Sometimes God
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: will pack your bag to go somewhere and you don't
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: even know where it is. And you got to be
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: obedient enough to trust that whatever he has in store
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: for you is going to work out for your good.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: So stop asking him questions and step out on the
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: promises of God and start moving where God wants you
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: to go. Abraham had a promise. Shout, I got a promise.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: I don't have a job, but I got a promise.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I don't have a spouse, but I got a promise.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I don't have a house, but I got a promise.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I don't have no money, but I got a promise.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I don't have no friends, but I got a promise.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to stand on the promises of Christ
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: my King. Through eternal ages, let His praises ring. Glory
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: in the highest, I will shout and sing. I'm standing
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: on the promises. I'm standing on the promises. Of Christ
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: my Savior. I'm standing on the promises of Christ my King.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Is there anybody in here that's standing? Let me hear it.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: I got a long ways to go. These are accounting
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: columns that we put truth in. It doesn't add to
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: it nor diminish it. It's just an overview of how
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: to organize your thoughts about the linear view of God's
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: plan for man. So from Abraham to Moses, we had promise.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: When Moses comes to Sinai, we have the dispensation of law.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not have no other
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: God before me. Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: All the law of God begins to play because the
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: law of God is, I don't have time to get
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: deep into it, but the law of God is the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: beginning of theocracy. Not democracy. Theocracy. A God-ruled nation. a
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: called out group of people must have a law system,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a legal system creates civilization. Without a legal system, we
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: have the problem that Noah is dealing with where all
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: we're left up to is if it feels good, do it.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: That's what happens when people go by their own mind
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: and there is no law. So God brought law through
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Moses because God is setting up a nation Not an organization.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: He's setting up a nation. This would be true even
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: in an organization. You can't have an organization that don't
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: have laws and ethics and rules and everybody does however
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: you want to do. That doesn't work and it doesn't
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: work in a country. And so he gave them laws.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: He gave them three things for those who want this stuff.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: He gave them laws. He gave them judgments. Judgments is
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: how you settle strife between each other. Laws deal with
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the sovereign relationship you have with God and he gave
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: them ordinances, which is how you worship. Three different aspects.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going further. I'm going further. I'm going further. Are
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: you with me? From Mount Sinai to Mount Calvary is law.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: When Jesus went to the cross, he completed the law.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: He fulfilled the law. He did the thing that I
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: couldn't do. He obeyed the law. That's why he is
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: my righteousness and I am complete in him. And the
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: curses that were chasing me because I kept breaking the
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: law were nailed to the cross with him. And I
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: am free from the curse of the law and from
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: sin and death for he whom the son of
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Death has no power.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Death has no strength. The grave cannot hold me. Hell
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: cannot curse me. Satan cannot bind me because every curse
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: was nailed to the cross and I'm free indeed. That's
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: a good shouting moment right there. See, we have raised
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: up a generation of people who are shouting about silly stuff.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Shouting because your shoes was on sale. Shouting because you
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: got two dresses for the same price. Shouting because they
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: got a discount on your car. Shouting because you got
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a raise. You're shouting about stuff that can be taken away.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: But we used to shout about things that no devil
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: in hell can take away. You can take my coat.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: You can take my job. You can have my shoe.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: But you can't take away my Jesus because I'm free
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: in my soul. Somebody shout yes. Somebody shout yes again.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Praise God for what Jesus did. Praise God for what
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Jesus did. No devil can take it. No witch can
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: curse it. No enemy can bind it. They can't stop
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: God from saving you. I don't care how many times
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: they say you're not saved. It's not their word that
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: saves you. It's God's word that saves you. you. And
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: if God says you're saved, and if God says you're saved,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: and if God says you're free, and if God says
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: you're whole, somebody help me. Help me praise his name.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Slap somebody and say, I found grace. I found grace.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I'm a sinner but I found grace. I'm a freak
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: but I found grace. I'm wild but I found grace.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I'm a manageable but I found grace. I've been fluid
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: in my thinking but I found grace. Grace is my stabilizer.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Grace is my anchor. Grace is my strength. Grace is
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: my power. Grace is my stability. Grace is my foundation.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Grace is the concretization of every promise in the scriptures.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I got it when I got grace. If you got
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: grace to live, give God a praise. Somebody holler, I'm
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: grace for this. I'm going to stop whining about it.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going to stop crying about it. I'm going to
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: stop worrying about it. I'm going to stop being fatigued
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: about it. I'm the man for the job. I got
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: grace for this. I can deal with you. I can
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: deal with you. And I can deal with you. Not
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: because you're easy, but because I got grace for this. Yeah.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: I got grace for this. I can handle it. I
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: got the grace for this. Talk about me all you
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: want to. I found grace for this. It used to hurt,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: but I found grace for this. It used to upset me,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: but I found grace for this. When I realized you
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: don't pay my bills... You didn't save my soul. You
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: don't own my heaven. Whatever you think is none of
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: my business. I found grace. Type it on the line.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I found grace. You better not get up here if
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: you don't have grace. They'll run you home if you
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: don't have grace. You got to have staying power. You
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: got to be stubborn. You got to have relentless grace.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Stare you right in the face. Grown man grace. Time
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: to be a grown woman, baby girl. Time to put
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: on your big britches and be a grown woman. Hallelujah.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Somebody holler, I'm grace for this. Sit down, I'm going
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: to give you some more. Can I feed the flock?
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Because I'm anointed to feed the flock. And I feel
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: the master feeder feeding through me today. I feel an
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: unction coming in this place. Somebody's getting some bread from
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: God today. The manna is falling from heaven. The manna
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: is falling from heaven. The true bread is coming down
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: from above. Reach up and grab some of this bread.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: The last of the seven dispensations is the millennial reign
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: of Christ. Grace is from the cross to the return
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: and the millennial reign of Christ takes us into the
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: seventh dispensation. But what I want you to see is
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: grace is five dispensations, four dispensations from conscious. So when
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the Bible says Noah found grace. You got it. He
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: found something that wasn't even in his era. He tapped
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: into something that hadn't been freely dispensed yet. I prophesied
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: to somebody in this room, you're getting ready to tap
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: into something that is not even common to where you
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: are right now. It don't fit into your family. It
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: don't fit into your age group. It defies imagination, but
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: you're just going to find it. You're just going to
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: stumble into it. Be careful to get it right. It
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: was not that grace found Noah. Had grace found Noah,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: that would be sensible. That would express God finding Noah.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't that grace found Noah. Noah found grace.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Push two or three people and say, I'm looking for grace.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for grace. I'm looking for grace. I'm looking
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: for grace. I'm looking for grace. I'm looking for grace.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Give me my next phrase. Come on, I'm looking for grace.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for grace. I'm looking for grace. I'm looking
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: for grace. I'm looking for grace. Can I go deeper?
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: What I'm trying to get you to is today our
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: text ends at an era of self-willed. Human consciousness is self-willed.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Because there was no law yet given, morality was totally
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: dependent on a fallen species having self-will. In politics it
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: somewhat mirrors democracy. We the people. We the people. What
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: does that even mean today? We the people. We the people.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: America is actually more of a republic than it is
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: a democracy, but it has a democratic posture. And when
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: we look at a democratic posture, to this day, that
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: is really self-rule. Democracy is self-rule. Theocracy is God-rule. The
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: further we get into self-will, the more we are discovering
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: how wicked self is. Y'all don't hear what I'm saying.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: We are right in the middle of Genesis 6. Because
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: the more we try to run things, the worse it gets.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Because the human will is corrupt. That's why we're not
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: safe sitting in a church. That's why we're not safe
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: in a grocery store. That's why we're not safe walking
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: through a mall. Because the more we rule ourselves, the
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: more corrupt we become. Because the people who have rule
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: over us have an agenda. I'm not picking sides. There's
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: a Democratic agenda. There's a Republican agenda. And all of
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: them are working their agenda. And you are not in
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the agenda. There, I said it. There, I said it. There,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: I said it. There, I said it. There, I said it.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: It's just out. There it is.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Boom.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Oops. There it is. It is clear nobody's listening to us.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Everybody's doing whatever they want to do to have longevity
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: in the positions that they're in. And it is becoming
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: increasingly clear to get back in the office, they will
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: sell their mama. And it is all evidence of the
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: fact that we have moved so far away from God
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: that you can't tell where you're going to be safe at.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: We got 12-year-old boys walking around with AK-47s. You're scared
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: of your own children. You got kids building bombs in
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: their bedroom and the parents don't even know it's built
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: until they blow up the school and then they issue
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: an apology. How you gonna apologize to me for my
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: dead child? Why didn't you go up them steps and
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: go into that room and see what was going on
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: in that room? How can we be ruled by our
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: conscience when we have none? This is Noah's problem. This
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: is God's anger. This is God's hostility. Because left to
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: our conscience, we are deceitful and treacherous and self-willed and evil.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: The Bible said the heart of man is continually wicked.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: And every imagination is evil. Now I have to submit
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: to your evil. I'm already wrestling with my evil. And
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: now I got to submit to your evil. I got
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: a big enough job trying to manage my evil. And
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: now I got to watch out for your evil. Defensive driving.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: I'm driving through the world trying to make sure that
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I can get me through and also anticipating what is
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: the next crazy thing you're getting ready to do. That's
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: where we are. That's where we are. And we don't
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: know what we got for sure. We don't know. No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: We don't know if we're going to get to vote.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: We don't know what's going to happen in the country.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: We don't know what rights are going to be taken away.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: We don't know what's going to be added. We don't
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: know nothing about taxes because nobody's listening to us. And
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: we're still, nobody's listening to God. That's a good shouting
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: spot right there. So I got to hurry. I got
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: to hurry. I got to hurry to my clothes. In
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: the scripture, self-rule leads to annihilation of most of we
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: the people. Because it did not consider God as the
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: sovereign that he is. God is sovereign. And while they
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: knew him as God, they glorified him not as God.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: And we are so full of self-will. We step into
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Genesis in the era of self-rule and encounter the judgment
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: of God. We had better take notes from history and
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: consider God over self. We talk about the flood. We
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: talk about the what, but we don't talk about the why.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: And we better figure out the why so we can
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: stop the what. The why was, number one, they were lascivious.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: No boundaries. Anything goes. Lust was on the loose. Eating
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: and drinking was on the loose. No real propensity toward worship.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: It amazed me when everything shut down but the clubs.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Everybody running around in masks. Everybody scared to breathe on anybody.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I'm bathing in Clorox and these people dropping it like
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: it hot. I thought y'all at the club, y'all breathing
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: all over each other. Y'all gonna go home and kill
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: your parents and your grandparents just because you're trying to
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: That's the power of silence. You know, you don't have
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: to say it. This created mutations in the earth. Giants
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: in the earth. I won't spend a lot of time
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: on this, but there's debates about when the sons of
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: God saw the daughters of men. Some people say that
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: the sons of God were the sons of Seth. and
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: the daughters of men were the daughters of Cain. And
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: that when the two sides got together, that created giants.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: But then there are others who recognize that the sons
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: of God in the Old Testament is often referred to
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: as angels, as it was in the book of Job,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: when it said that the sons of God came around
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: the throne, and among them were Satan. The angels were
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: also called the sons of God. And so it makes
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: more sense that when celestial beings start sleeping together, With
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: terrestrial beings, a mutated species would come into the earth.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I wasn't there. You weren't either. But
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: let's guess about it a minute. You cannot mix natures
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: between that which is divine and that which is human
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: and cohabitate together and come out natural. So they came
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: out with giants who had some angel likeness and yet
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: were humans. And when God saw what he created was
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: being perverted into something that he did not create, it
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: repented God that he had ever made man. So when
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: we start dealing with genetics and start developing our own
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: sheep and our own cattle and then start practicing on
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: making people, I'm wondering if we're not creating humans. I'm
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: going to go a little bit deeper and then I'm
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: going to close. When I grew up, we used to
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: hear about Noah building the ark and how the rainbow
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: was a sign that it would never be by water.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: And we used to sing songs, it won't be by water,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: but by fire next time. Now, I don't like drowning
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: and I sure as heck don't like burning, but I
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: couldn't imagine for the life of me how the earth
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: could catch on fire. Because when I was little and
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I was learning theology, I didn't know anything about global warming.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: But now that I'm a man, I've seen the glaciers melting.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: I've seen the polar bears dying. I've seen the temperatures increase.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: I've seen the droughts coming. I've seen the core of
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: the earth getting hotter and hotter and hotter. And we're
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: just dancing and eating and making merry and going on
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: about our business as if we have no understanding that
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: we've got plague. We have got more plagues. in the
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: last decade than I have seen in my entire lifetime.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: And what's worse is that we're getting used to it
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: and we call it normal. Shootings are normal. Killings are normal.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Rapes are normal. All kinds of domestic abuse is normal.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: And the earth waxing hot till we are begging for
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: rain has become normal. It is so dry that they're
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: advising you not to cut your grass lest it catch
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: on fire. And if you think you're going to get away,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: where could you go where there was no COVID? When
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: COVID was at its peak. See, I know people, I
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: have friends that live here in Dallas that leave Dallas
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: in July and August to get away from the heat.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: So with that rationale in mind, where could you go
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: to get away from COVID? When Italy was locked up
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: and France was locked up and Rome was locked up
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: and Europe was locked up and Africa was all wrapped up.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Where were you going to go when Australia was sick
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: and New Zealand was sick? The whole earth is being
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: infected with more and more and more. And all you're
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: worried about is how much money you make. What has
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: more money have to do with more breath? That's all
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: you care about is how much more money you're going
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: to make. How much more you're going to bling with.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: And the earth is catching on fire. Noah's conscience led
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: him to escape the vortex of human depravity as his
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: conscience found grace. The vortex of human depravity. Let me
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: give you this visual so you understand what I mean,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: the vortex of human depravity. I was studying on when the,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I want to say the Atlantis, the Titanic, when the
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Titanic was going down in the water. It was not
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: that the people didn't escape. Most of the people got
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: out of the boat and made it to rafts and
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: were trying to get away. But when the Titanic sunk,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: it created such a vortex that even those who escaped
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: got stuck. sucked into the vortex and they died as
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: well as the people on the boat because they were
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: still too close to what was going down I know
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: it's old timey I know it's old fashioned I know
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: it's out of school but are you too close to
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: what's going down I know you got your own raft
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: and you're doing your own thing and you're moving away,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: but have you gotten far enough away that the vortex
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: of your so-called friends are not pulling you? Intellect doesn't
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: find grace nor deny it. Being smart doesn't make you
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: have more grace. It doesn't stop you from having grace,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't make you have more grace. Success doesn't
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: make you have grace. It doesn't stop you from having grace,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: but you don't get grace because you're successful. So to
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: all of you successful intellectual people who think that somehow
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: because you have more degrees and more intellect or more
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: fame or more fortune that you have more grace and
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: you think you're exempt from needing this word, how... How
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: dare you be that arrogant? How dare you be that stupid?
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: How dare you be foolish enough to think that smart
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: people didn't drown in the flood? That rich people didn't
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: drown in the flood. You can be caught up in
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: the vortex. I don't care how cute you are. I
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: don't care how rich you are. I don't care how
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: famous you are. You're listening to me on TV right now.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: I don't care how famous you are. I don't care
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: what you drive. I don't care what you live in.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: What I'm preaching at is coming right to you. You
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: think you're safe because you work for a great company.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: You think you're safe because you're a millionaire or a billionaire.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: You think you're safe because you got gold albums and
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: all kind of success. Nothing can protect you from what,
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: when God gets ready to send a flood, everything that's
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: not in grace is going down. If you're not in grace,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: you're going down. If you're not in grace, you're going down.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: You and your money. You and your Rolls Royce. You
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: and your career. You and your fame. You and your fortune.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Look at how many rich people are killing themselves. Look
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: at how many successful people commit suicide. In the last
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: five years, we've seen some of the most famous people
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: taking their own life Don't be a fool. When God
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: sends a flood, everything that's not in the ark begins
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: to go down. But I got news for you. It's
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: not too late to get in your ark. I got
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: news for you. It's not too late for you to
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: find your way to the ark. If you would humble yourself...
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: and get down on your knees and stop being self-ruled, self-willed,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: and self-regulated. You can come on in this hard child.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: It's going to rain. Come on in this hard child.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: It's going to rain. God told Noah, it's going to rain.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Come on in this hard child. It's going to rain, children.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: It's going to rain, children. Come on in this hard time.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: Come on in this hard time. You better get on
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: in this hard time. You better come on in this
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: hard time. God told Noah. God told Noah. You better
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: get on in this hard time. You better get on
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: in this hard time. Hurry up, get in! Hurry up,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: get in!
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: Hurry up, get in! Hurry up, get in! Come on,
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: let's have a little old-fashioned.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Just a little bit, just a little bit. Give me
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: just a little bit. You know why you don't see
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: as much shouting as you normally would? Because we don't
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: have enough people that are sure they're in the ark.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: But everybody that knows you're in the ark, give God
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: a praise right now. Come on in this ark.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: Come on in this ark, child.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Come on in this ark.
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: You better get on in this ark, child. You better
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: get on.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: In this ark.
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: You better get on in this ark. You better get
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: on in this ark. You better get on in.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: The ark, child.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: It's going to rain. It's gonna rain. It's gonna rain.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: It's gonna rain. It's gonna rain. It's gonna rain.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: It's gonna rain.
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: It's gonna rain.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: It's gonna rain.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: It's gonna rain. It's gonna rain.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: It's gonna rain. Get your children. It's gonna rain.
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: Get your children.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: It's gonna.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Rain.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Gather up your children. It's gonna rain. Gather up your family.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: It's gonna rain. If you gotta go by yourself. It's
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: gonna rain. If you gotta go by yourself.
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: It's gonna rain.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: If you gotta go by yourself.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: It's gonna rain.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: God told Noah. It's gonna rain. Now here's the amazing part.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: I'm only halfway finished. So I'm going to pick it
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: up next Sunday. Can I pick this up next Sunday?
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Are y'all with me? Can I pick this up next Sunday?
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: Because I haven't even got to the grace to make changes.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: The grace to build. The grace to grow. The grace
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: to move. The grace to function in disruption. Next week
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going to show you how to have the grace
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: to function in disruption. Noah was so anointed that he
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: built in disruption. And you've been waiting on everything to
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: be calm so you can build. It ain't going to happen.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: You got to build it anyway. Where are my builders at?
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Make some noise.
