  LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH,
• 0:09
  LET'S GET UP ON OUR FEET
• 0:12
  AND SHAKE THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH
• 0:15
  WITH THE SOUND OF OUR PRAISE THIS MORNING, AMEN.
• 0:19
  COME ON, LET'S GO.
• 0:22
  (MUSIC)

  JESUS, WE PUT ALL OF OUR HOPE AND TRUST IN YOU.

  (MUSIC)
• 6:28
  (MUSIC)
• 6:51
  WE SERVE A GOOD GOD.
• 6:56
  I SAID WE SERVE A GOOD GOD.
• 7:04
  THIS ISN'T A RELATIONSHIP WHERE WE WAIT TILL WE HIT THE DOORS
• 7:08
  TO ENTER INTO PRAISE AND WORSHIP.
• 7:11
  THIS IS A LIFETIME COMMITMENT.
• 7:16
  AND SO I'M IMPLORING YOU THIS MORNING
• 7:18
  TO SEARCH YOUR HEART AND ASK YOURSELF,
• 7:22
  IS GOD REALLY LORD OVER ALL?
• 7:25
  BECAUSE IF HE'S NOT LORD OVER ALL,
• 7:27
  HE'S NOT LORD OVER ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE.
• 7:31
  FOLKS, IT IS TIME.
• 7:34
  IT IS TIME.
• 7:35
  GOD HAS DONE ALL THAT HE COULD POSSIBLY DO
• 7:38
  2,000 YEARS AGO AND EVEN BEFORE THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH
• 7:42
  AND HE'S WAITING FOR A RESPONSE.
• 7:45
  WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE THIS MORNING?
• 7:49
  LET GO OF YOUR OFFENSE.
• 7:51
  LET GO OF THE TRIALS AND THE AFFLICTIONS
• 7:54
  THAT YOU ARE FACING AND RECOGNIZE THAT YOU SERVE
• 7:58
  THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE ALL NAMES.
• 8:02
  SO WE'RE GONNA SING THIS SONG AGAIN,
• 8:05
  AND I WANT YOU TO ENTER IN WITH THE IMAGE,
• 8:09
  NOT JUST OF THE ONE WHO WAS WOUNDED ON THE CROSS,
• 8:11
  BUT THE ONE WHO DEFEATED DEATH, HELD IN THE GRAVE,
• 8:15
  SO THAT YOU COULD HAVE LIFE.
• 8:18
  SO THAT YOU COULD HAVE LIFE.
• 8:21
  SO THAT WE COULD HAVE LIFE.
• 8:23

  (MUSIC)
• 22:42
  (MUSIC)
• 23:03
  OH, DID YOU HEAR THE SONGS THAT WE WERE SINGING THIS MORNING?
• 23:07
  WE WERE TELLING GOD, WE SAID, "YOU'VE ALREADY
• 23:11
  SAID YES TO US, AND SO WE WANT TO SAY YES TO YOU."
• 23:15
  NO LONGER WILL WE BE PASSIVE AND SIT BACK AND
• 23:20
  WAIT ON SOMEBODY ELSE.
• 23:22
  YOU'VE ALREADY GIVEN US AUTHORITY, AND SO WE
• 23:26
  WALK IN THAT AUTHORITY.
• 23:28
  SO WE'RE GOING TO SAY THIS REAL QUICK.
• 23:30
  JUST REPEAT AFTER ME.
• 23:31
  SAY, "LORD, SEND ME.
• 23:35
  LORD, I WON'T HESITATE.
• 23:39
  SEND ME.
• 23:40
  LORD, I DON'T CARE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
• 23:46
  SEND ME.
• 23:47
  I DON'T CARE WHAT MY FRIENDS SAY.
• 23:51
  SEND ME.
• 23:53
  SEND ME.
• 23:55
  SEND ME."
• 24:03
  LET'S GIVE THE LORD A BIG HAND PRAISE.
• 24:05
  LET'S GIVE HIM GLORY IN THE HOUSE.
• 24:07
  GLORY IN THE HOUSE.
• 24:08
  IT'S SO EXCITING TO HAVE PASTOR GENE IN THE HOUSE,
• 24:12
  AND TERI IN THE HOUSE.
• 24:13
  THOSE ARE PEOPLE THAT SAID, "YES!"
• 24:15
  THEY SAID, "YES!"
• 24:18
  SO RIGHT NOW, WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS TO GREET EACH OTHER
• 24:22
  AND TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBOR.
• 24:24
  TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR, I SAID YES, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
• 24:27
  GO AHEAD AND FIND SOMEBODY YOU HAVEN'T TALKED TO.
• 24:32
  (MUSIC)
• 25:28
  WELL, GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING.

• 27:06
  JUST WANNA REMIND THAT AFTER SERVICE TODAY,
• 27:07
  WE HAVE OUR PARENT MEETING FOR OUR YOUTH RETREAT

• 27:16

  SO WE'RE JUST SUPER EXCITED FOR WHAT GOD'S GONNA DO.
• 27:20
  BUT AGAIN, THAT'S TODAY AFTER SERVICE
• 27:22
  IN THE CONNECT CENTER IN THE CHAPEL.
• 27:24
  SO MAKE SURE TO BE THERE, ALL PARENTS.
• 27:25
  ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, BOB.
• 27:26
  LET'S WELCOME BOB.
• 27:28
  YEAH, LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE YOUTH RETREAT.
• 27:31
  YEAH. HEY, KEEPING IN LINE
• 27:33
  WITH THE YOUTH RETREAT, I'M GONNA SHARE A COUPLE
• 27:35
  OF QUICK ANNOUNCEMENTS.
• 27:36
  ONE OF THEM PERTAINS TO YOUTH.
• 27:38
  AND IF WE CAN PUT UP ON THE BOARD,
• 27:39
  THE BACK TO SCHOOL DRIVE THAT LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH
• 27:42
  IS DOING THIS YEAR.
• 27:43
  IF YOU REMEMBER, BACK A HANDFUL OF YEARS AGO WE DID THIS,
• 27:46
  AND WE HAD ABOUT A THOUSAND KIDS COME THROUGH THE CHURCH,
• 27:49
  AND WE WERE ABLE TO GIVE THEM SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR THE YEAR.
• 27:52
  THIS IS A REALLY COOL THING.
• 27:54
  IT'S GONNA BE ON JULY 25TH FROM NINE TO NOON.
• 27:57
  WE'RE GONNA DO IT IN HERE, WE'RE GONNA DO IT IN THE CHAPEL,
• 28:00
  WE'RE GONNA HAVE TONS OF KIDS.
• 28:02
  AND CHRIS WHIPPS, EXCUSE ME, IS OUR EVENT PLANNER
• 28:05
  HERE AT THE CHURCH, AND HE DID A PHENOMENAL
• 28:07
  JOB FINDING AN ORGANIZATION THAT WILL SELL US BACKPACKS
• 28:11
  THAT ARE FULL OF SUPPLIES.
• 28:13
  YEP, IT'S SUPER COOL.
• 28:15
  AND THEY'RE BROKEN DOWN BY AGE GROUP,
• 28:18
  SO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HAS THEIR SUPPLIES,
• 28:20
  HIGH SCHOOLERS HAVE THEIR SUPPLIES.
• 28:22
  I SUPPOSE HIGH SCHOOLERS CAN GET CRAYONS AND STUFF TOO.
• 28:26
  BUT IF YOU WANNA GIVE INTO THAT, YOU CAN.
• 28:29
  THERE'S A BASKET BY THE CONNECT CENTER ENTRANCE.
• 28:32
  THERE'S ACTUALLY A LITTLE BLUE WAGON.
• 28:34
  IF YOU WANNA BRING SCHOOL SUPPLIES, YOU CAN DO THAT
• 28:36
  'CAUSE WE CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH.
• 28:38
  AND IF YOU ALSO WANNA DONATE, $20 GETS A CHILD A BACKPACK.
• 28:43
  SO IT'S PRETTY COOL, IT'S PRETTY EASY.
• 28:45
  YOU CAN USE, I HOPE I DON'T GET IN TROUBLE WITH JUDY,
• 28:48
  YOU CAN USE OTHER SPECIAL EVENTS TO DONATE INTO THIS.
• 28:53
  AND IF YOU DO, ALL THOSE DOLLARS WILL GO TO HELP A CHILD.
• 28:56
  SO WE LOVE YOU GUYS AND WE APPRECIATE THAT.
• 28:58
  BACK TO SCHOOL IS A REALLY COOL THING.
• 29:00
  SCHOOL'S COMING UP THIS FALL.
• 29:01
  HOW AWESOME WILL IT BE TO PUT AN ANOINTED BACKPACK
• 29:05
  IN THE HANDS OF EVERY CHILD THAT'S
• 29:07
  GOING TO BE COMING HERE TO SCHOOL IN THE OMAHA AREA?
• 29:11
  AND I HAVE A SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT.
• 29:12
  DO WE HAVE ANY BASEBALL FANS IN THE AUDIENCE?
• 29:15
  THAT'S LIKE REALLY SMALL.
• 29:17
  DO WE HAVE ANY BASEBALL FANS IN THE AUDIENCE?
• 29:19
  YEAH, THAT'S MORE LIKE IT.
• 29:21
  SO WE HAVE AN AWESOME OPPORTUNITY THIS FALL,
• 29:24
  I GUESS THIS SUMMER STILL.
• 29:26
  ON AUGUST 1ST, LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH IS GONNA BE
• 29:31
  THE KEYNOTE SPONSOR FOR FAITH AND FAMILY NIGHT
• 29:34
  AT THE OMAHA STORM CHASERS.
• 29:37
  YEAH, IT IS GONNA BE INCREDIBLY COOL.
• 29:40
  WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WALK OUTSIDE THESE FOUR WALLS
• 29:43
  AND GO TO A BASEBALL GAME AND GIVE EVERYBODY AN OPPORTUNITY
• 29:47
  TO MEET WHAT LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH IS ALL ABOUT.
• 29:50
  IT'S SUPER COOL.
• 29:51
  HERE'S SOME HIGHLIGHTS, AND WE'VE GOT THEM WRITTEN ON THERE.
• 29:54
  PASTOR HANK, HE'S A BIG ATHLETE.
• 30:00
  WELL, WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT, AND I HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE IN HIM
• 30:03
  BECAUSE HE'S GONNA THROW OUT THE FIRST PITCH.
• 30:08
  AND WE HAVE THE INCREDIBLE PASTOR SHANE
• 30:10
  AND PASTOR CHRISTY CADENCE AND ALLIE.
• 30:13
  THEY'RE DOING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.
• 30:16
  SO IT'S GONNA BE A REALLY INCREDIBLE NIGHT.
• 30:18
  HERE'S WHAT WE'RE HOPING FOR.
• 30:19
  WE'RE HOPING EVERYBODY IN THE CHURCH CAN COME OUT.
• 30:22
  THE STORM CHASERS HAVE HELD BACK SEVERAL HUNDRED TICKETS FOR US.
• 30:26
  THE QR CODE THAT'S ON THE BOTTOM,
• 30:28
  IF YOU SCAN THAT, THAT'S A LINK TO THE WEBSITE
• 30:30
  TO PURCHASE A DISCOUNTED SEAT.
• 30:32
  THEY'RE DISCOUNTING TICKETS FOR US.

  PICK UP A PAIR, PICK UP 10 TICKETS IF YOU WANT.

  IT'S GONNA BE A BLAST.

  WE'RE GONNA HAVE A TENT ON THE CONCOURSE.
• 30:42
  WE'RE GONNA GIVE STUFF AWAY.
• 30:43
  IT'S GONNA BE A SUPER COOL NIGHT,
• 30:44
  AND WE REALLY WANT AS MANY PEOPLE THERE AS POSSIBLE.
• 30:48
  BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO A STORM CHASERS GAME,
• 30:50
  THESE GUYS ARE MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYERS
• 30:52
  TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE MAJORS.
• 30:53
  YOU'RE GONNA SEE SOME OF THE BEST BASEBALL YOU'LL EVER SEE,
• 30:56
  AND IT'S JUST GONNA BE A GREAT NIGHT.
• 30:58
  SO PLEASE CONSIDER COMING OUT.
• 31:00
  I WOULD SAY DON'T EVEN CONSIDER COMING OUT.
• 31:02
  JUST COME OUT AND JOIN US.
• 31:03
  WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF FUN.
• 31:05
  THANKS, YOU GUYS.
• 31:06
  I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO PASTOR DOUG.
• 31:10
  THANK YOU, BOB.
• 31:12
  HOW MANY OF YOU ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT?
• 31:14
  IT'S GONNA BE GREAT.
• 31:16
  GREAT WAY TO GET OUT THERE AND EXPOSE THE CHURCH
• 31:20
  AND THE CHURCH FAMILY, AMEN.
• 31:22
  AND THAT'S A GOOD THING, HALLELUJAH.
• 31:26
  COUPLE ANNOUNCEMENTS TODAY BEFORE WE MOVE INTO OFFERING.
• 31:29
  DON'T FORGET THAT, WELL, FIRST OF ALL,
• 31:32
  WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE DR. GENE BAILEY AND TERI,
• 31:34
  HIS WIFE, HERE TODAY.
• 31:35
  SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
• 31:38
  BUT WHAT I WAS GOING TO MENTION IS, DON'T FORGET,
• 31:40
  NEXT SUNDAY ALSO WE HAVE ANOTHER WONDERFUL SPECIAL GUEST,
• 31:44
  DR. RICHARD ROBERTS, WHO HAS A LONG TIME BEEN
• 31:48
  FAMILIAR TO THIS HOUSE.
• 31:49
  HE'S NO STRANGER, BUT HE COMES WITH A HEALING ANOINTING
• 31:53
  IN HIS HANDS.
• 31:54
  AND IT'S GOING TO BE AN EXCITING TIME
• 31:55
  TO HAVE HIM IN THE HOUSE AGAIN.
• 31:57
  SO DON'T STAY HOME JUST BECAUSE PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA
• 32:01
  ARE TAKING A BREAK.
• 32:02
  HOW MANY OF YOU SAY, I'LL BE HERE NEXT WEEK?
• 32:05
  OK. AND BRING A FRIEND WITH YOU.
• 32:07
  THAT'S OK.
• 32:08
  PRAISE GOD.
• 32:09
  WELL, A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANTED TO JUST MENTION
• 32:13
  AS WE GO INTO OFFERING TODAY.
• 32:15
  HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT IT'S HUMAN NATURE
• 32:17
  TO CLING TO WHAT WE HAVE?
• 32:20
  YOU KNOW, WE'RE KIND OF ALL BORN WITH A SELFISH NATURE,
• 32:24
  AND WE HAVE TO LET THAT BE REDEEMED BY GOD.
• 32:26
  THERE WAS A STORY YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD
• 32:28
  OF A FATHER WHO TOOK HIS BOY TO A CAFE,
• 32:31
  AND HE BOUGHT HIS SON SOME FRENCH FRIES.
• 32:35
  SIMPLE THING, A BASKET OF FRENCH FRIES.
• 32:38
  HOW MANY OF YOU DADS HAVE TAKEN YOUR SONS
• 32:40
  AND HAD FRENCH FRIES BEFORE?
• 32:42
  MAYBE YOU ADDED A HAMBURGER, YOU KNOW, BUT YOU'VE DONE IT.
• 32:45
  SO THE FATHER DID WHAT MOST FATHERS DO,
• 32:48
  AND HE REACHED OVER AND TOOK ONE OF THE FRENCH FRIES
• 32:51
  TO TASTE IT.
• 32:53
  AND THE LITTLE BOY SLAPPED HIS FATHER'S HAND,
• 32:54
  AND HE SAID, DON'T TOUCH MY FRENCH FRIES.
• 32:58
  AND OF COURSE, THE FATHER'S NOW THINKING,
• 33:00
  I NEED TO TEACH MY SON NOT TO BE SELFISH.
• 33:04
  AND A LOT OF THOUGHTS GO THROUGH A FATHER'S HEAD
• 33:07
  AT THAT POINT IN TIME.
• 33:09
  DOESN'T MY SON REALIZE THAT I BOUGHT THOSE FRENCH FRIES
• 33:11
  FOR HIM?
• 33:13
  IF I WANTED TO, I COULD JUST TAKE THEM AWAY COMPLETELY.
• 33:17
  WHY IS MY SON SO SELFISH?
• 33:19
  I ORDERED HIM A WHOLE BASKET OF FRENCH FRIES,
• 33:22
  AND I JUST WANTED ONE.
• 33:25
  WELL, YOU KNOW, WE CAN RELATE THIS TO OUR LIVES
• 33:27
  AND OUR FATHER GOD.
• 33:29
  GOD GIVES US ALL WE HAVE, EVERYTHING WE HAVE.
• 33:33
  HE CREATED US.
• 33:33
  HE GIVES US OUR BREATH.
• 33:36
  AND HE ASKED FOR A TITHE, 10%.
• 33:41
  AND SOME PEOPLE FIGURATIVELY SLAP GOD'S HAND
• 33:44
  AND SAY, KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY MONEY, GOD.
• 33:48
  I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
• 33:51
  BUT THEY ONLY HURT THEMSELVES WHEN THEY DO THAT.
• 33:55
  BECAUSE WE KNOW THE TRUTH, DON'T WE?
• 33:57
  GOD REBUKES THE DEVOURER ON OUR BEHALF WHEN WE GIVE.
• 34:01
  AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT GOD OWNS
• 34:03
  EVERYTHING WE HAVE.
• 34:05
  IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, KING DAVID UNDERSTOOD
• 34:07
  THAT PRINCIPLE VERY WELL, AND HE GAVE US A DESCRIPTION
• 34:10
  OF IT IN 1 CHRONICLES 29.
• 34:12
  LET ME READ THIS OUT OF THE NEW LIVING TRANSLATION, VERSES 12
• 34:16
  AND 14.
• 34:18
  IT SAYS, "WEALTH AND HONOR COME FROM YOU ALONE,
• 34:21
  FOR YOU RULE OVER EVERYTHING.
• 34:23
  POWER AND MIGHT ARE IN YOUR HAND,
• 34:25
  AND AT YOUR DISCRETION PEOPLE ARE MADE GREAT AND GIVEN
• 34:29
  STRENGTH. O GOD, WE THANK YOU AND
• 34:33
  PRAISE YOUR GLORIOUS NAME.
• 34:35
  BUT WHO AM I AND WHO ARE MY PEOPLE
• 34:38
  THAT WE COULD GIVE ANYTHING TO YOU?
• 34:40
  EVERYTHING WE HAVE HAS COME FROM YOU,
• 34:43
  AND WE GIVE YOU ONLY WHAT YOU FIRST GAVE US.
• 34:48
  AMEN. JUST LIKE THE FRENCH
• 34:50
  FRIES, THE SON GAVE THEM, I'M SORRY, THE FATHER
• 34:53
  GAVE THEM TO THE SON, AND HE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY
• 34:56
  TO SHARE WITH HIS DAD.
• 34:58
  DAVID RECOGNIZED THAT ALL WEALTH AND ABUNDANCE
• 35:00
  WERE GIFTS FROM GOD AND GOD OWNS IT ALL.
• 35:03
  HE GIVES TO US OUT OF HIS ABUNDANCE AND WE NEED
• 35:06
  TO REMEMBER THAT OUR RESOURCES COME FROM HIM AND HONOR GOD WITH
• 35:10
  OUR TITHES AND OUR OFFERINGS WHEN WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY.
• 35:14
  AS YOU GIVE TODAY, REALIZE YOU'RE GIVING TO LORD OF HOSTS
• 35:18
  IS ACTUALLY A WORSHIP TO GOD.
• 35:20
  YES, YOU GIVE TO LORD OF HOSTS, BUT YOU'RE REALLY GIVING
• 35:23
  IT TO GOD.
• 35:24
  ONCE YOU GIVE IT TO LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH OR ANY
• 35:27
  MINISTRY, IT'S REALLY OUT OF YOUR HANDS.
• 35:31
  YOU'VE GIVEN IT TO GOD.
• 35:32
  WHATEVER HAPPENS TO IT THEN, IT'S
• 35:35
  THE PASTORS AND WHOEVER'S IN CHARGE OF THE MINISTRY,
• 35:39
  IT'S THEIR OBLIGATION TO STEWARD THOSE FUNDS
• 35:42
  CORRECTLY. BUT YOU'RE GIVING IT TO GOD.
• 35:45
  SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
• 35:48
  IT'S THE PASTORS AND THOSE THAT ARE IN AUTHORITY THAT ARE GOING
• 35:51
  TO STAND BEFORE GOD AND ANSWER FOR BEING GOOD STEWARDS OF YOUR
• 35:55
  MONEY AND HOW WE HANDLED THOSE GIFTS THAT CAME IN.
• 36:01
  PAUL EXPLAINED THIS PRINCIPLE ABOUT
• 36:05
  GIVING BEING AN ACT OF WORSHIP IN PHILIPPIANS 4:17.
• 36:10
  I WANT TO GIVE YOU ONE MORE SCRIPTURE AND
• 36:12
  THEN I'M FINISHED BASICALLY.
• 36:14
  PHILIPPIANS 4:17 AND 18, IT SAYS, "NOT THAT I SEEK THE
• 36:17
  GIFT, BUT I SEEK THE FRUIT THAT ABOUNDS TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
• 36:21
  INDEED, I HAVE ALL AND ABOUND.
• 36:23
  I'M FULL, HAVING RECEIVED FROM
• 36:25
  APHRODITE THE THING SENT FROM YOU, A SWEET-SMELLING
• 36:29
  AROMA, AN ACCEPTABLE
• 36:31
  SACRIFICE, WELL-PLEASING TO GOD.
• 36:34
  SO PAUL WAS TELLING THOSE PEOPLE AT THE
• 36:38
  PHILIPPIAN CHURCH THAT THE OFFERINGS THAT THEY GAVE
• 36:42
  WERE WELL-PLEASING TO GOD.
• 36:44
  AND YOUR OFFERINGS ARE WELL-PLEASING TO GOD.
• 36:48
  REPEAT THIS AFTER ME.
• 36:50
  MY TITHES AND OFFERINGS ARE WELL-PLEASING TO GOD.
• 36:56
  AMEN. WELL, USHERS, YOU CAN
• 36:59
  SERVE THE PEOPLE TODAY.
• 37:00
  IF YOU NEED AN ENVELOPE, RAISE YOUR HAND.
• 37:03
  IF YOU WANT TO WRITE A CHECK OR PUT IN CASH,
• 37:05
  YOU NEED AN ENVELOPE TO DO THAT, SO WE HAVE
• 37:06
  RECORD OF YOUR GIVING, AND YOU GET A RECEIPT
• 37:08
  AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
• 37:09
  SO RAISE YOUR HAND.
• 37:10
  THE USHERS WILL SERVE YOU WITH AN ENVELOPE.
• 37:12
  WE HAVE THE GIVING INFORMATION ON THE SCREEN.
• 37:14
  YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THAT.
• 37:16
  AND YOU CAN USE OUR WEBSITE, OR OF COURSE IF YOU HAVE THE
• 37:20
  LOH APP, YOU CAN USE THAT, OR YOU CAN TEXT TO GIVE.
• 37:24
  JUST TEXT LORDOFHOSTS TO 833-309-5698.
• 37:32
  OKAY, THANK YOU.
• 37:33
  IT WAS A LITTLE HARD TO SEE FROM THAT ANGLE.
• 37:38
  AN ONLINE AUDIENCE, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIVING, YOUR
• 37:41
  PARTICIPATION, AND TUNING IN WITH US TODAY.
• 37:43
  WE'RE SO GRATEFUL.
• 37:45
  I'M GIVING EVERYONE A SECOND TO PREPARE.
• 37:48
  YOU KNOW, MOST OF YOU COME PREPARED, AND
• 37:50
  THAT'S WHAT'S AMAZING.
• 37:51
  YOU KNOW THAT OFFERING IS AN ACT OF WORSHIP, AND YOU JUST
• 37:54
  COME PREPARED, AND YOU'RE READY TO GIVE.
• 37:57
  AND GOD LOVES THAT AND APPRECIATES THAT.
• 38:00
  WHY DON'T YOU STAND WITH ME, HOLD UP YOUR OFFERING.
• 38:06
  I WANT TO PRAY OVER YOU TODAY AS WE GIVE.
• 38:09
  FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE
• 38:11
  TO COME TO YOU AS AN ACT OF WORSHIP AND GIVE TO YOU.
• 38:17
  WE KNOW, LORD, THAT YOU RECEIVE OUR GIFTS
• 38:19
  AND YOU'VE TOLD US IN YOUR WORD THAT IT'S WELL-PLEASING
• 38:23
  TO YOU WHEN WE GIVE.
• 38:24
  AND LORD, I THANK YOU THAT BECAUSE OF THE COVENANT THAT
• 38:27
  WE HAVE, BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS, WE CAN OVERCOME EVEN
• 38:31
  THAT FEELING OR THAT SINFUL NATURE OF SELFISHNESS THAT
• 38:36
  WANTS TO HANG ON TO EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE.
• 38:38
  WE CAN OVERCOME THAT AND JUST OPEN UP FREELY AND GIVE TO YOU.
• 38:42
  AND THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT US TO DO SO THAT WE CAN BE
• 38:45
  BLESSED AND YOU CAN RECIPROCATE BACK TO US AND WE CAN CONTINUE
• 38:50
  TO RECEIVE FROM YOUR HAND.
• 38:52
  SO WE THANK YOU.
• 38:53
  I PRAY FOR EVERYONE THAT'S GIVING TODAY, LORD, THAT THERE
• 38:55
  WOULD BE AN ABUNDANT BLESSING ON THEIR LIFE AS THEY
• 38:58
  MOVE FORWARD IN FAITH.
• 38:59
  AND WE BELIEVE, LORD, THAT THEIR GIFTS WILL OPEN THE DOOR
• 39:03
  FOR MIGHTY BLESSINGS TO COME INTO THEIR HANDS.
• 39:06
  IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, WE PRAY.
• 39:09
  AMEN. AMEN.
• 39:10
  WELL, LET'S DO OUR DECLARATION TODAY.
• 39:14
  REPEAT WITH ME HERE OR SAY THIS WITH ME.
• 39:16
  WE DECLARE THE CAMPUS AND THE MINISTRY OF LORD OF HOSTS CHURCH
• 39:20
  SHALL BE INCREASED, EXPANDED, AND DEBT-FREE.
• 39:25
  WE DECREE IT SHALL HAPPEN WITHOUT DELAY.
• 39:28
  WE SAY TO EVERY HEAVENLY ASSIGNMENT, BE BUILT
• 39:31
  UP AND FINISHED.
• 39:32
  WE SAY THAT WE HAVE ALL THE FINANCES NEEDED FOR THE
• 39:36
  LORD IS BUILDING THIS HOUSE.
• 39:38
  WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH EXCESS AND OVERFLOW.
• 39:45
  UPON YOU, LORD, HEAVENLY ASSISTANCE TO
• 39:53
  PEOPLE, BRING FORTH.
• 39:57
  WE SHALL QUADRUPLE, QUADRUPLE, AND THAT WE
• 40:00
  WILL QUADRUPLE AGAIN.
• 40:02
  WE DECLARE NEW THINGS NOW.
• 40:04
  WE DECREE MINISTRY AND CAMPUS BE EXPANDED NOW.
• 40:10
  AMEN. WHY DON'T YOU REMAIN STANDING
• 40:13
  WITH ME FOR A MOMENT.
• 40:16
  WE'RE GOING TO WORSHIP THE LORD FOR ANOTHER MOMENT
• 40:18
  BEFORE DR. GENE BAILEY COMES.
• 40:31
  (MUSIC)
• 44:49
  OKAY, LET'S COME TO THE ALTAR RIGHT NOW.
• 44:50
  WE'RE NOT GONNA STOP RIGHT HERE.
• 44:52
  I NEED TO FILL THIS ALTAR UP 'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA PRAISE GOD.
• 44:56
  WE'RE GONNA GIVE HIM PRAISE, COME ON, COME ON.
• 44:58
  I DIDN'T COME HERE TO PLAY CHURCH, I KNOW
• 45:00
  YOU DIDN'T EITHER.
• 45:02
  WE'RE NOT HERE JUST TO DO ROUTINE SERVICE.
• 45:05
  WE'RE HERE TO WORSHIP THE KING OF KINGS,
• 45:07
  THE LORD OF LORDS, THE GREAT JEHOVAH.
• 45:11
  ALL THE WAY UP, ALL THE WAY UP.
• 45:13
  COME ON, I DON'T CARE WHERE YOU ARE.
• 45:15
  AND THOSE OF YOU WATCHING, I DARE YOU TO STAND
• 45:17
  UP AND PRAISE GOD.
• 45:21
  OKAY, GUYS, KEEP GOING THERE, ANTHONY, KEEP GOING JUDY.
• 45:24
  (MUSIC)
• 46:15
  TERI, TERI, COME UP HERE, WILL YOU?
• 46:17
  GET YOUR MIC, COME UP HERE.
• 46:19
  HOW MANY OF YOU NEEDED SOMETHING THIS MORNING?
• 46:21
  YOU CAME TO CHURCH BECAUSE YOU NEEDED SOMETHING.
• 46:24
  HOW MANY OF YOU CAME TO CHURCH BECAUSE YOU WANTED SOMETHING?
• 46:29
  HOW MANY OF YOU CAME TO CHURCH BECAUSE YOU KNEW
• 46:30
  IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND YOU DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT,
• 46:32
  BUT YOU DID IT ANYWAY.
• 46:35
  THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY.
• 46:37
  THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY.
• 46:39
  OH, JESUS.
• 46:44
  LISTEN, THIS IS SO IMPORTANT THAT WE GET THIS RIGHT TODAY.
• 46:47
  TODAY, I'M GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU THE KEY TO EVERYTHING.
• 46:52
  THIS IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING.
• 46:57
  SO IF YOU CAN JUST STAND A LITTLE BIT LONGER,
• 46:59
  IF YOU GET TIRED AND YOU NEED TO GO TO YOUR SEAT, GO AHEAD.
• 47:01
  BUT TERI, I WANTED YOU TO SHARE FOR JUST A COUPLE MINUTES
• 47:06
  WHAT GOD'S BEEN DOING IN YOUR LIFE,
• 47:09
  TESTIMONY, GREET THE PEOPLE.
• 47:11
  YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE KIND OF WATCHED,
• 47:14
  WE STEPPED OUT ON OUR OWN OVER A YEAR AGO IN APRIL.
• 47:17
  AND...
• 47:19
  (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
• 47:23
  WE WERE AT THE PLACE WHERE WE NEEDED,
• 47:26
  WE KNOW GOD NEEDED US TO DO MORE FOR HIM.
• 47:29
  AND IT WAS SO SECURE, SUCH GOOD BENEFITS, SUCH GOOD MONEY,
• 47:34
  AND I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS FOR EVERYBODY.
• 47:37
  AND EVEN THOUGH I IDENTIFY AS 18, YOU KNOW,
• 47:40
  (LAUGHING)
• 47:42
  WE JUST LISTENED TO GOD BECAUSE AT ONE POINT I TOLD GENE,
• 47:45
  I HEARD FROM GOD AND SO DID SOMEONE ON OUR BOARD
• 47:49
  THAT IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, I'LL FIND SOMEBODY ELSE.
• 47:52
  AND SO WE TOOK A LEAP OF FAITH.
• 47:54
  WE HAD NO PAYCHECK.
• 47:56
  WE WERE THE ONLY EMPLOYEES.
• 47:58
  AND WE JUST DID WHAT GOD TOLD US TO DO.
• 48:02
  AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING EVER SINCE.
• 48:05
  AND PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY OF OUR LIVES,
• 48:07
  WE WAKE UP AND WE HAVE COFFEE, A CUP OF JESUS.
• 48:11
  AND WE ALSO HAVE COMMUNION.
• 48:13
  AND OUR THING IS WE SAY, KEEP US HUMBLE.
• 48:17
  IT'S AN HONOR AND IT IS A PRIVILEGE, NUMBER ONE,
• 48:20
  TO BE HERE IN THIS PLACE, THANK YOU,
• 48:22
  PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA.
• 48:25
  BUT IT'S AN HONOR TO SERVE THE LORD.
• 48:28
  IT'S AN HONOR WHEN YOU SEE, AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU,
• 48:31
  ALL OF OUR, WE HAVE EMPLOYEES NOW.
• 48:35
  IT WAS GENE AND I OPENING THE MAIL, OKAY?
• 48:40
  THEY SEE, MIRACLE UPON MIRACLE, HOW GOD HAS OPENED
• 48:46
  THE DOORS FOR US, FOR THEM, FOR, YOU KNOW,
• 48:51
  IT'S REALLY AMAZING THAT HE'S LINKED US WITH PEOPLE,
• 48:55
  EVEN LIKE THE CHAPTER THING THAT WE'RE DOING NOW.
• 48:58
  PASTOR WENDELL HUTCHINSON, HIS WHOLE LIFE,
• 49:00
  HE'S BEEN DEVELOPED FOR THIS MOMENT.
• 49:05
  EVERYBODY IN OUR LIFE, IT SEEMS LIKE THEIR SKILLS
• 49:07
  AND THEIR TALENTS AND THEIR ABILITIES,
• 49:09
  AND THEY WERE WONDERING, WHEN, LORD,
• 49:11
  ARE YOU GONNA EVER USE ME?
• 49:12
  AM I EVER GONNA HAVE A CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING?
• 49:15
  AND SO, OUR PRAYER IS, KEEP US HUMBLE,
• 49:20
  AND LET US HEAR YOUR VOICE, AND BE QUICK TO OBEY,
• 49:24
  AND FEARLESS TO DO WHAT YOU NEED TO HAVE DONE FOR THIS TIME.
• 49:29
  AND IT HAS BEEN BEYOND, IT IS ONLY GOD,
• 49:36
  ONLY GOD THAT HAS DONE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US.
• 49:41
  IS IT OKAY IF I TALK ABOUT THE PROPERTIES?
• 49:44
  SO WE STARTED OFF WITH SOME PROPERTY THAT WE HAD,
• 49:48
  AND WE HAD LIKE A GARAGE.
• 49:52
  AND IT WAS PAID OFF.
• 49:54
  SO WE, WEEK BY WEEK, HAD IT WORKED ON TO MAKE IT A STUDIO.
• 49:59
  AND IT WAS A PODCAST STUDIO FOR HIM AND I,
• 50:01
  AND HE RAN THE CONTROLS.
• 50:04
  AND NOW WE HAVE LIKE A FULL STUDIO.
• 50:08
  AND THEN WE WERE TOLD, HE DID REVIVAL RADIO AT KCM,
• 50:14
  WE NEED YOU TO HAVE IT OUT LIKE WITHIN DAYS.
• 50:17
  AND SERIOUSLY, I SAW A HOUSE THAT WAS FOR SALE
• 50:23
  BECAUSE WE COULDN'T AFFORD OFFICE SPACE,
• 50:26
  BIG BUILDINGS, MILLIONS, AND WE COULD AFFORD THAT.
• 50:31
  AND IT'S A REVIVAL RADIO STUDIO, TV STUDIO,
• 50:33
  AND I'M STARTING A SHOW TOO.
• 50:36
  (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
• 50:38
  AND WE PUT OFFICES IN THERE, AND THEN THE SAME THING
• 50:42
  HAPPENED. WE WERE RUNNING OUT OF WAREHOUSE SPACE FOR SOME
• 50:45
  OF THE BOOKS AND THINGS WE OFFER, AND WE NEEDED MORE
• 50:49
  SPACE. AND AT THE TIME THAT IT HAPPENED, WE ENDED UP
• 50:54
  WITH ANOTHER ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING.
• 50:57
  AND THEN GENE SAID, NO JOKE, I REALLY WOULD
• 51:01
  LIKE A RANCH.
• 51:03
  AND HE DID A THING, AS GENE NORMALLY DOES.
• 51:08
  FOR INSTANCE, YOU SAW WE JUST GOT A TV TRUCK.
• 51:10
  AND AT THE FIRST STUDIO, THERE'S THE GARAGE
• 51:13
  AREA, HE SAID, THERE'S THIS OLD TV TRUCK THAT PTL USED TO HAVE
• 51:18
  JIM BAKER, AND THEY'RE GETTING RID OF IT, AND WE CAN AFFORD
• 51:22
  IT, IT NEEDS SOME WORK.
• 51:23
  I SAID, WELL, WHERE ARE YOU GOING
• 51:25
  TO PUT THAT THING?
• 51:27
  OH, IT'LL FIT IN THE STUDIO GARAGE.
• 51:32
  ARE YOU SURE?
• 51:33
  OKAY. SO WE GET THE TV TRUCK, RIGHT?
• 51:37
  AND HE SAID, WE NEED TO GET A WAREHOUSE
• 51:40
  BECAUSE IT'LL FIT, BUT WE CAN'T GET IN AND OUT OF IT TO WORK ON
• 51:46
  IT. DETAILS, DETAILS.
• 51:48
  SO THE RANCH TOO, BUT WE WERE IMPRESSED
• 51:51
  THAT WE NEEDED TO START TRAINING.
• 51:53
  LAW ENFORCEMENT NEEDED TO BE TRAINED
• 51:56
  ABOUT WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON, THE ANTICHRIST VERSUS THE
• 51:59
  CHRIST, ISLAM, WHAT WE'RE BEING TOLD.
• 52:02
  THEN WE THOUGHT THE PASTORS NEED TO HAVE A PLACE
• 52:05
  TO MEET.
• 52:06
  CHAPTER PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE A PLACE TO MEET AND TO
• 52:09
  BE TRAINED, BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT, AS YOU KNOW, WITH BIBLICAL
• 52:11
  CIVICS AND THE OTHER THINGS, THERE'S SO MUCH TO LEARN.
• 52:15
  AND SO THIS PROPERTY, THIS RANCH BECAME AVAILABLE,
• 52:20
  AND IT NEEDED A LOT OF WORK.
• 52:23
  BUT WE'RE REALLY GOOD AT RESTORING, AND GOD IS.
• 52:26
  WE'VE GOT THE HEART OF THE LORD.
• 52:28
  AND SO WE'VE BEEN RESTORING WEEK BY WEEK,
• 52:32
  PROJECT BY PROJECT, 30 ACRES, WAREHOUSES, I MEAN.
• 52:39
  AND EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE, AND I KNOW IT'S NOT ALWAYS
• 52:43
  THIS WAY FOR EVERYBODY, HAS BEEN DEBT-FREE.
• 52:51
  SO MONDAY WHEN WE GET BACK, WE'RE GONNA HAVE
• 52:54
  OUR FIRST PASTORS MEETING, AND WE WERE THINKING,
• 52:57
  YOU KNOW, IT'D BE A WHOLE BIG DEAL
• 52:59
  IF WE ENDED UP WITH 30 PEOPLE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT
• 53:02
  NOW WE'RE PUSHING 60.
• 53:04
  SO THE LORD HAS NEED OF IT.
• 53:08
  SO MY THING IS FOR EVERYBODY, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE
• 53:12
  WHAT YOUR QUALIFICATIONS ARE.
• 53:14
  IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WHAT YOUR PAST IS.
• 53:18
  AND YOU MAY NOT EVEN BE SERVING THE LORD NOW,
• 53:20
  BUT YOU CAN START SERVING HIM RIGHT THIS MOMENT TODAY.
• 53:23
  HE'S READY TO USE YOU.
• 53:25
  HE'S PUT GIFTS AND TALENTS IN YOU THAT NOBODY ELSE CAN DO.
• 53:30
  JUST SAY YES AND JUST OBEY.
• 53:38
  THANK YOU, HONEY.
• 53:40
  UM, LISTEN, WE DROVE, WHEN WE DROVE UP TODAY, YOU
• 53:43
  KNOW, SINCE SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE RANCH AND ALL
• 53:48
  THAT, WE KIND OF CAME IN OVER THERE BY THE, UH, PIZZA
• 53:52
  MACHINE, IS THAT WHAT IT'S CALLED?
• 53:55
  LET'S MAKE A GREAT STUDIO, BY THE WAY.
• 53:58
  ANYWAY, I WASN'T THINKING ABOUT, I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE
• 54:03
  MESSAGE AND WE DROVE UP AND I THOUGHT, THIS ISN'T BIG ENOUGH.
• 54:07
  THIS PROPERTY IS NOT BIG ENOUGH.
• 54:09
  AND I KNOW WHAT, WHEN I SAY THAT, WHAT
• 54:11
  THAT MEANS, BUT IT'S THE SAME THING, WE'RE THE PROPERTY
• 54:15
  THAT WE'VE BEEN BLESSED WITH, IT'S NOT BIG ENOUGH.
• 54:18
  AND I'M TELLING YOU, WE HAVE TO EXPAND OUR VISION.
• 54:21
  BY THE WAY, WE LEFT NEW ORLEANS WITH JESSE DEPLANTIS,
• 54:27
  WHO COULD NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR CHURCH.
• 54:30
  (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
• 54:37
  AND HE SAID HOW MUCH HE ENJOYED BRENDA,
• 54:41
  NOT SO MUCH ABOUT HANK.
• 54:42
  BUT I'M KIDDING, PASTOR HANK.
• 54:45
  HE LIKES YOU TOO.
• 54:47
  IT'S GREAT WHEN PASTOR HANK IS NOT HERE IN HIS OWN CHURCH.
• 54:51
  (LAUGHING)
• 54:53
  BUT EXPANDING YOUR VISION, IF YOU'RE NOT GROWING,
• 54:57
  SOMETHING'S WRONG.
• 54:58
  IF WE'RE NOT DOING SOMETHING, SOMETHING'S WRONG.
• 55:00
  SO I'M JUST TELLING YOU, GET READY.
• 55:03
  WE GOTTA GET READY BECAUSE THERE'S MORE.
• 55:06
  THIS IS NOT JUST A LOCAL CHURCH.
• 55:08
  THIS IS WHAT GOD'S CALLED YOU TO DO.
• 55:10
  IT IS MASSIVE, MASSIVE.
• 55:13
  IT'S PART OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT.
• 55:14
  BUT BEFORE WE GET ANY FURTHER, I WANT US TO PICK BACK UP WITH,
• 55:18
  LET'S GET BACK INTO THE HEART OF WORSHIP
• 55:19
  'CAUSE I WANT TO, WE'RE GOING TO SPRINGBOARD OFF OF THAT
• 55:23
  INTO WHAT GOD'S GOT FOR US TODAY.
• 55:25
  BUT DID YOU NOTICE SOMETHING?
• 55:28
  WHEN YOU CAME DOWN HERE, THE ATMOSPHERE CHANGED.
• 55:36
  SO WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE IN THAT ATMOSPHERE.
• 55:38
  OKAY, MY GUYS ARE BACK HERE.
• 55:41
  I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW, YOU KNOW,
• 55:43
  I WOULD TAKE DANNY ON THE ROAD AND JACOB BACK HERE ON
• 55:47
  THE BASS AND D SOMETIMES.
• 55:52
  NO. I JUST LOVE SEEING
• 55:54
  THEM WHEN I COME HERE 'CAUSE I USED TO DO CHURCH
• 55:56
  EVERY SUNDAY WITH THEM.
• 55:57
  SO, SO GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS, EXCEPT FOR DANNY.
• 56:00
  I USED TO PROBABLY SMOKED POT WITH DANNY PROBABLY.
• 56:03
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 56:06
  (CONGREGATION CHEERING)
• 56:10
  THAT IS SO OLD.
• 56:12
  THAT IS SO OLD.
• 56:13
  ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET BACK IN NOW, PLEASE.
• 56:15
  LET'S GET BACK INTO WORSHIP.
• 56:17
  OKAY, TAKE IT AWAY, ANTHONY.
• 56:34
  (MUSIC)
• 58:44
  (MUSIC)
• 58:52
  THANK YOU.
• 58:53
  WE ENTER INTO YOUR COURTS WITH PRAISE.
• 58:56
  AND FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR THE ABILITY
• 58:58
  TO COME AND WORSHIP THIS MORNING IN A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING.
• 59:03
  AND LORD, I THANK YOU FOR LORD OF HOSTS.
• 59:05
  I THANK YOU FOR PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA.
• 59:07
  THANK YOU FOR THE LEADERSHIP HERE.
• 59:08
  AND I THANK YOU FOR THESE PEOPLE THAT YOU'VE PLACED
• 59:12
  HERE TO BE HERE.
• 59:13
  FATHER, I ASK YOU JUST TO TAKE OVER THIS SERVICE.
• 59:16
  HOLY SPIRIT, WE GIVE YOU THE ENTIRE ROOM.
• 59:20
  IN JESUS' NAME, EVERYBODY SAID.
• 59:22
  AMEN. AMEN. AMEN.
• 59:23
  YOU CAN RETURN TO YOUR SEATS.
• 59:33
  (MUSIC)
• 1:00:22
  AMEN. YOU GUYS GOT ME?
• 1:00:25
  CHECK ONE, TWO. YOU HEAR ME?
• 1:00:27
  ONE, TWO, THREE. OKAY.
• 1:00:31
  LISTEN, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GROUND TO COVER
• 1:00:35
  IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.
• 1:00:38
  AND I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING REALLY CLEAR.
• 1:00:43
  AND I DON'T SAY THIS BECAUSE WE'RE FRIENDS
• 1:00:45
  WITH HANK AND BRENDA.
• 1:00:46
  THAT HAS NOTHING, REALLY NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
• 1:00:50
  I WOULD SAY THIS ANYWAY.
• 1:00:54
  THERE AREN'T CHURCHES LIKE THIS.
• 1:00:59
  THERE'S JUST NOT.
• 1:01:03
  WE HAVE TRAVELED THE NATION AND GONE TO CHURCHES THAT I THOUGHT
• 1:01:09
  MIGHT BE LIKE THIS AND WEREN'T
• 1:01:14
  AND WOULD SAY, "HEY, COME," AND THEN THEY WOULDN'T SHOW UP.
• 1:01:18
  I MEAN, I'VE HAD CHURCHES THAT, YOU KNOW, RENT US THEIR
• 1:01:23
  BUILDING AND THEN NOT COME.
• 1:01:25
  YOU KNOW, IT'S, I JUST WANT YOU TO RELISH THE FACT THAT
• 1:01:30
  YOU HAVE A CHURCH AND PASTORS THAT LOVE YOU AND ARE
• 1:01:38
  HERE FOR THE RIGHT REASON.
• 1:01:43
  SO IT'S BEEN SIX YEARS ALMOST, IN SEPTEMBER IT
• 1:01:46
  WILL BE SIX YEARS WE'VE BEEN DOING FLASHPOINT
• 1:01:49
  AND THAT WHOLE THING CAME UP FOR AN EIGHT-WEEK PROGRAM.
• 1:01:57
  THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ONCE A WEEK FOR EIGHT WEEKS.
• 1:02:00
  NOW IT'S FIVE DAYS A WEEK, WE'RE GOING ON SIX YEARS.
• 1:02:09
  WE'VE GONE THROUGH SOME CYCLES.
• 1:02:12
  THINK ABOUT THE WAY LIFE WAS BEFORE COVID,
• 1:02:19
  AND THE SUMMER OF LOVE, AND ALL THAT HAPPENED IN
• 1:02:25
  2019, 2020, AND HOW WE, THINGS ARE DIFFERENT IN AMERICA
• 1:02:31
  AND WE QUESTION EVERYTHING.
• 1:02:34
  MANY OF US GREW UP AND YOU DIDN'T GO TO THE DOCTOR.
• 1:02:39
  I MEAN, THINGS HAD TO BE HANGING.
• 1:02:42
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:02:44
  JUST, YOU KNOW, GO RUB SOME DIRT ON IT, IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
• 1:02:47
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:02:48
  IT'S JUST THE WAY IT WAS.
• 1:02:50
  AND IF YOU DID GO TO THE DOCTOR, YOU LISTENED TO THE DOCTOR,
• 1:02:52
  YOU DID EVERYTHING HE SAID.
• 1:02:54
  AND NOW WE DON'T TRUST MOST DOCTORS.
• 1:02:58
  AND THAT'S FOR A GOOD REASON.
• 1:03:01
  THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY, THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY,
• 1:03:03
  WE DON'T TRUST THEM.
• 1:03:09
  SAME THING WITH GOVERNMENT, POLITICS.
• 1:03:13
  WHEN THINGS DON'T GO OUR WAY, WHEN THINGS,
• 1:03:15
  ELECTIONS DON'T HAPPEN THE WAY WE THINK THEY SHOULD,
• 1:03:17
  IT'S BOGUS, RIGGED, IT'S FIXED.
• 1:03:22
  THEY STOLE IT, AND THEY DID.
• 1:03:25
  [CONGREGATION LAUGHING]
• 1:03:29
  YOU SEE, WE'VE LOST THAT AMERICAN,
• 1:03:33
  I CALL IT THE AMERICAN INNOCENCE THAT WE USED TO HAVE.
• 1:03:37
  AND SOME FRIENDS OF MINE FROM ENGLAND USED TO SAY,
• 1:03:44
  THE REASON YOU DON'T, THIS IS RIGHT AFTER 9/11,
• 1:03:47
  THE REASON YOU DON'T QUESTION IS BECAUSE THEY DON'T
• 1:03:51
  WANT YOU TO QUESTION.
• 1:03:53
  THEY WANT TO KEEP YOU IN THE DARK.
• 1:03:55
  BECAUSE WE REALLY, AND I PUT MYSELF IN THIS CATEGORY, WE
• 1:04:00
  REALLY HAD THE IDEA THAT THERE'S PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON,
• 1:04:04
  THAT THERE WERE SOME GOOD PEOPLE THERE, YOU KNOW.
• 1:04:06
  THERE'S SOME PEOPLE, AT THE HEART OF IT, THEY'RE PATRIOTIC,
• 1:04:09
  IN THE HEART OF IT, THEY WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
• 1:04:13
  AND I'M SURE THERE ARE.
• 1:04:15
  BUT I'M CONSTANTLY SURPRISED AT HOW MANY ARE
• 1:04:20
  ON THE TAKE AND ARE CORRUPT.
• 1:04:23
  AND I'M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT ONE
• 1:04:27
  PARTY. THEY'RE ON BOTH SIDES, AND UNDER AND ABOVE AND AROUND.
• 1:04:34
  I HAD A FRIEND OF MINE WHO WAS AROUND DURING PRESIDENT REAGAN
• 1:04:42
  AND WAS VERY INVOLVED IN POLITICS,
• 1:04:46
  EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GO TO WASHINGTON,
• 1:04:48
  WE'RE AT DINNER.
• 1:04:49
  AND HE SAYS, "WHAT HAPPENS IS YOU'RE A NEW SENATOR
• 1:04:54
  "OR A NEW REPRESENTATIVE.
• 1:04:55
  "YOU GO TO WASHINGTON, D.C., THERE'S NO ONBOARDING.
• 1:04:59
  "YOU JUST KIND OF SHOW UP "AND THEY GIVE YOU AN
• 1:05:02
  ADDRESS TO SHOW UP TO.
• 1:05:03
  "YOU DON'T HAVE AN OFFICE, YOU DON'T HAVE A STAFF.
• 1:05:06
  "YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OF THOSE THINGS
• 1:05:07
  THAT YOU THINK YOU WOULD HAVE.
• 1:05:11
  SO THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE WAITING ON YOU TO GET THERE.
• 1:05:16
  AND WHEN YOU GET THERE, A PERSON WILL SAY,
• 1:05:19
  HEY, MY NAME'S SO AND SO, AND I'VE DONE THIS
• 1:05:24
  FOR THIS SENATOR AND THAT SENATOR AND THIS SENATOR,
• 1:05:26
  AND I CAN RUN YOUR OFFICE FOR YOU IF YOU WANT,
• 1:05:28
  AND I KNOW ALL THE PEOPLE, AND I GOT ALL THE PHONE NUMBERS,
• 1:05:30
  AND I GOT THE ROLODEX.
• 1:05:32
  ROLODEX IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT USED CARDS IN IT.
• 1:05:39
  SOME OF Y'ALL STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
• 1:05:41
  ANYWAY, ADDRESS BOOK ON YOUR PHONE, YOU KNOW.
• 1:05:46
  AND SO WHAT DOES THE SENATOR DO, MALE OR FEMALE?
• 1:05:49
  OH, OKAY, WELL, YEAH, I GUESS THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
• 1:05:53
  NOT KNOWING THAT THEY'VE JUST WALKED INTO AN AGENDA.
• 1:05:59
  AND I'M GOING TO SAY SOMETHING THAT WILL BE REPEATED,
• 1:06:01
  BECAUSE I KNOW THE MEDIA IS WATCHING PASTOR HANK
• 1:06:05
  ALMOST AS MUCH AS THEY QUOTE US, IS THAT THE HOMOSEXUAL
• 1:06:12
  AGENDA IN DC
• 1:06:15
  IS FAR MORE PREVALENT THAN YOU HAVE CONCEPT OF.
• 1:06:21
  AND HERE'S WHY, AND THIS IS WHY IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME.
• 1:06:25
  THEY'RE USUALLY SINGLE, THEY HAVE NO FAMILY,
• 1:06:28
  AND THEY'LL WORK REALLY LONG HOURS, PARTY AT NIGHT,
• 1:06:31
  AND COME BACK THE NEXT DAY.
• 1:06:33
  AND THEY'RE YOUNG.
• 1:06:36
  NOW, SO JUST WRAP YOUR BRAIN AROUND THAT FACT.
• 1:06:41
  LET'S SAY I'M NOT, LET'S SAY I'M TOTALLY WRONG,
• 1:06:45
  AND IT'S NOT NEAR AS PREVALENT AS WHAT I'M TELLING YOU.
• 1:06:47
  THE FACT IT'S THERE AT ALL, WITH OUR FOUNDING FATHERS
• 1:06:51
  AND WHAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS...
• 1:06:53
  IT'S, LET ME JUST SAY SOMETHING.
• 1:06:56
  I SAW A PASTOR THAT I KNOW, THAT I KNOW,
• 1:07:00
  I USED TO GO TO HIS CHURCH, DO A CLIP OF VIDEO,
• 1:07:07
  SAY IN HIS CHURCH, THIS IS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION.
• 1:07:10
  IT NEVER HAS BEEN AND NEVER WILL BE.
• 1:07:16
  AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.
• 1:07:20
  BECAUSE, AND I UNDERSTAND, HOWEVER, LET ME SAY THIS,
• 1:07:22
  I'LL GIVE HIM A LITTLE CREDIT.
• 1:07:24
  HOWEVER, I UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S SAYING.
• 1:07:25
  WE ARE NOT ALL CHRISTIANS.
• 1:07:28
  WE'RE NOT.
• 1:07:29
  I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT.
• 1:07:31
  HOWEVER, WHEN WE SAY WE'RE A CHRISTIAN NATION,
• 1:07:33
  WE'RE REFERRING TO THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLES OF THIS NATION.
• 1:07:38
  SO THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS.
• 1:07:39
  SO WE HAVE TO BE SO CAREFUL, MINISTERS IN THE PULPIT,
• 1:07:44
  YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE YOU REPRESENT JESUS
• 1:07:47
  AND YOU REPRESENT THIS CHURCH, YOU KNOW, PASTOR HANK,
• 1:07:49
  PEOPLE KNOW YOU GO HERE, OF WHAT YOU SAY IN PUBLIC.
• 1:07:53
  BECAUSE YOU CAN SO TURN SOMETHING THE WRONG WAY.
• 1:08:00
  I'M PAINTING A PRETTY BLEAK PICTURE, I KNOW.
• 1:08:04
  SO DEALING WITH THIS FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS,
• 1:08:07
  THERE ARE TIMES IT REALLY TAKES ITS TOLL.
• 1:08:11
  I MEAN, WE GET UP IN THE MORNING AND WE'RE READING THE NEWS.
• 1:08:14
  WE'RE SEARCHING THE NEWS, WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT'S HAPPENING,
• 1:08:17
  WHAT ARE WE, BECAUSE IN A FEW HOURS,
• 1:08:20
  WE GOT TO GET READY TO PUT THIS ON THE AIR AND TALK ABOUT IT.
• 1:08:22
  AND BY THE WAY, THIS PAST MONDAY, WE
• 1:08:26
  STARTED DAILY NEWSCAST, FLASHPOINT NEWS
• 1:08:30
  BREAK IS NOW AIRING,
• 1:08:32
  6:30 CENTRAL TIME, RIGHT BEFORE FLASHPOINT,
• 1:08:35
  ON THE FLASHPOINT TELEVISION NETWORK.
• 1:08:40
  AND HERE'S, YEAH, THANK YOU.
• 1:08:42
  HERE'S WHY, THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE I FOUND
• 1:08:47
  SO MANY PEOPLE COME UP TO US AND SAY,
• 1:08:50
  "YOU'RE THE ONLY PLACE I GET MY NEWS."
• 1:08:53
  AND I'M LIKE, "OH, THAT'S VERY KIND, THANK YOU,
• 1:08:54
  "BUT GOSH, YOU GOTTA EXPAND YOUR VISION A LITTLE BIT."
• 1:08:57
  WE GOT, DON'T TAKE THOSE, I'VE GOT ONE HOUR
• 1:09:00
  AND ALL WE DO IS TALK ABOUT A FEW STORIES.
• 1:09:03
  SO THIS IS OUR STEP INTO THE NEWS
• 1:09:05
  SO THAT WE CAN GIVE YOU A LOT OF STORIES
• 1:09:08
  IN 28 AND A HALF MINUTES.
• 1:09:10
  SO THINGS THAT WE DON'T COVER ON FLASHPOINT,
• 1:09:14
  WE'RE ACTUALLY ABLE TO COVER IN THE NEWS PROGRAM.
• 1:09:16
  AND THAT'S EXPANDING.
• 1:09:17
  TERI'S PROGRAM WILL BE AIRING.
• 1:09:19
  REVIVAL RADIO AIRS.
• 1:09:22
  SO, WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS,
• 1:09:25
  AND IT GETS TO BE, BECAUSE YOU DEAL WITH IT
• 1:09:27
  ON A DAILY BASIS, THERE ARE TIMES I JUST GO,
• 1:09:31
  TERI, DON'T SEND ME ANOTHER CLIP.
• 1:09:33
  I JUST NEED A BREAK.
• 1:09:34
  I JUST CAN'T THINK ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW.
• 1:09:38
  BECAUSE IT WILL GET IN YOUR SPIRIT.
• 1:09:40
  AND THE MORE IT GETS IN THERE, THE MORE DESPONDENT YOU CAN GET,
• 1:09:47
  AND MORE DEPRESSED YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET.
• 1:09:51
  'CAUSE YOU GO, OH MY GOSH, THIS IS,
• 1:09:53
  NOW, THIS IS WHY PASTOR HANK IS SUCH A GREAT ASSET
• 1:09:58
  ON FLASHPOINT, 'CAUSE HE SAYS, "GENE, I DON'T REALLY
• 1:10:01
  STAY UP WITH THE NEWS."
• 1:10:02
  HE SAYS, "THAT'S GREAT.
• 1:10:03
  "THAT'S WHAT I WANT FROM YOU.
• 1:10:05
  I DON'T WANT YOU TO UP, EVERYBODY ELSE
• 1:10:07
  IS UP ON THE NEWS.
• 1:10:08
  I NEED YOU TO BE UP ON WHAT GOD'S SAYING TO THE CHURCH."
• 1:10:12
  (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
• 1:10:13
  THAT'S HIS ROLE.
• 1:10:16
  AND I DON'T TAKE IT LIGHTLY.
• 1:10:17
  I MEAN, THE GUY'S GOT A FEW THINGS TO DO.
• 1:10:20
  HE'S GOTTA LIKE WALK THE DOGS.
• 1:10:22
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:10:23
  HE'S GOTTA LIKE DRINK COFFEE.
• 1:10:25
  AND NO, HE'S GOT A BIG LOAD HERE.
• 1:10:29
  SO THE FACT THAT HE'S DONE FOR ALL THESE YEARS IS A BLESSING,
• 1:10:34
  SUCH A BLESSING TO US.
• 1:10:35
  SO THANK YOU, PASTOR HANK, FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
• 1:10:40
  SO IF WE LET THIS GET INTO OUR SPIRITS,
• 1:10:42
  AND I KNOW YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
• 1:10:43
  JUST BY WATCHING THE NEWS.
• 1:10:44
  I USED TO WATCH A PROGRAM IN 2019.
• 1:10:49
  WE START, I STARTED WATCHING MORE REGULARLY
• 1:10:51
  'CAUSE I FELT LIKE HE WAS THE ONLY GUY THAT WAS GIVING ME,
• 1:10:55
  I FELT LIKE THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON.
• 1:10:57
  I DIDN'T TRUST ANYBODY ELSE.
• 1:10:59
  IT WAS TUCKER CARLSON.
• 1:11:01
  NOW YOU SWINE, I KNOW YOU DID, A LOT OF Y'ALL DID.
• 1:11:03
  I KNOW, NOW YOU DID TOO.
• 1:11:08
  BECAUSE HE WAS GIVING YOU MORE TRUTH
• 1:11:10
  THAN ANYBODY ELSE WAS ON FOX AT THAT TIME.
• 1:11:16
  BUT EVEN, AND IT'S INTERESTING, ONE OF THE TWO PEOPLE THAT
• 1:11:21
  WE TRIED TO GET ON THE SHOW THAT WE NEVER, WE GOT
• 1:11:24
  PRESIDENT TRUMP ON A LOT, BUT I COULD NEVER
• 1:11:27
  CONNECT WITH TUCKER.
• 1:11:29
  YEAH, THANK YOU.
• 1:11:30
  WE COULD NEVER CONNECT WITH TUCKER,
• 1:11:32
  AND WE COULD NEVER, FOR SOME REASON,
• 1:11:34
  CONNECT WITH CANDACE OWENS.
• 1:11:35
  WE COULDN'T GET THEM, THEIR SCHEDULE,
• 1:11:36
  AND I'M LIKE, THANK YOU, JESUS.
• 1:11:39
  (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 1:11:40
  THANK YOU, JESUS.
• 1:11:44
  THERE'S SOME CRAZY PEOPLE OUT THERE.
• 1:11:52
  TUCKER, I HAVE TO SHAKE MY HEAD AND GO,
• 1:11:57
  "GOD, SEND LABORERS ACROSS HIS PATH."
• 1:11:59
  BECAUSE HE IS SO OFF.
• 1:12:03
  HE'S OFF IN HIS NEWS, HE'S OFF IN HIS SPIRITUALITY.
• 1:12:06
  GOT A LOT OF MONEY, BUT THAT'S IT.
• 1:12:10
  SO IF WE'RE NOT CAREFUL, WE CAN GET THIS STUFF
• 1:12:12
  GET DOWN IN OUR SPIRITS.
• 1:12:13
  IT'S JUST LIKE WHEN WE, YOU KNOW,
• 1:12:17
  IF YOU WERE A CHRISTIAN AND YOU WERE A TEENAGER,
• 1:12:18
  YOUR PARENTS SAID, "BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE MUSIC
• 1:12:21
  "YOU LISTEN TO."
• 1:12:23
  ALL RIGHT, HOW MANY OF YOU HAD THOSE PARENTS?
• 1:12:26
  YEAH. I REMEMBER MY
• 1:12:30
  MOTHER AND SHE SAID, "OKAY, JUST GO WITH ME.
• 1:12:37
  I'M OLDER THAN A LOT OF YOU."
• 1:12:40
  SO I HAD THIS, HAD THE RADIO PLAYING.
• 1:12:43
  WE HAD LITTLE TRANSISTOR RADIOS.
• 1:12:45
  THAT WAS MY, AND IF YOU STUCK IT IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM,
• 1:12:48
  IT HAD GREAT SOUND.
• 1:12:51
  IF YOU DIALED IT IN JUST RIGHT, YOU COULD GET A GOOD AM STATION.
• 1:12:58
  OKAY, I KNOW Y'ALL ARE, YOU LOOK IT UP WHEN YOU
• 1:13:01
  GET HOME, WHAT AM IS.
• 1:13:03
  (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 1:13:04
  AND THERE WAS A SONG CAME ON, SHE'S JUST A DEVIL WOMAN
• 1:13:10
  WITH EVIL ON HER MIND.
• 1:13:12
  (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 1:13:14
  DOOR SWINGS UP, DEVIL WOMAN, WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO?
• 1:13:21
  IT'S AMAZING HOW THOSE MEMORIES CAN COME BACK
• 1:13:24
  AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME.
• 1:13:25
  BUT IT WAS TRUE.
• 1:13:29
  THOSE OF US THAT HAVE PARENTS THAT TAUGHT US THAT,
• 1:13:33
  WHAT GOT INTO US, I MEAN, JUST THERE WAS A GREAT EXAMPLE.
• 1:13:36
  HERE IT IS ALL THESE YEARS LATER.
• 1:13:37
  I REMEMBER THAT SONG.
• 1:13:40
  IF WE'RE NOT CAREFUL, WHAT GETS IN US COMES OUT OF US.
• 1:13:45
  THE GOOD THINGS AND THE BAD THINGS, SO WE GET CAREFUL.
• 1:13:47
  SO, AND I KNOW YOU KNOW THIS.
• 1:13:50
  SO HERE WE ARE TODAY, AND IT'S EASY TO GET WEARY
• 1:13:57
  IN WELL-DOING, DOING WHAT WE DO.
• 1:14:01
  IT'S EASY WHEN YOU'RE A PASTOR TO GET WEARY.
• 1:14:03
  IT'S EASY WHEN YOU'RE, ANY OF US, IT'S EASY TO GET WEARY
• 1:14:07
  IF YOU'RE NOT STAYING FILLED UP.
• 1:14:11
  SO NOT LONG AGO, WE WERE AT THIS PROPERTY THAT GOD GAVE US.
• 1:14:21
  AND SO I WAS LOOKING AT IT, AND I THINK ONE OF THE
• 1:14:24
  FIRST THINGS I SAID IS, WE'RE GONNA PUT A
• 1:14:25
  TENT RIGHT THERE, WE'RE GONNA PUT A TENT, HAVE
• 1:14:28
  A TENT MEETING RIGHT THERE.
• 1:14:31
  AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET BACK,
• 1:14:36
  AND I SAY WE 'CAUSE I MEAN THE CHURCH IN GENERAL,
• 1:14:39
  WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
• 1:14:44
  AND I KNOW THIS IS LIKE STUFF YOU KNOW, RIGHT?
• 1:14:46
  I MEAN, WE ALL KNOW THAT, OF COURSE WE NEED TO.
• 1:14:49
  BUT WE HAVE TRADED THE PRESENCE OF GOD
• 1:14:53
  FOR THINGS THAT DON'T FILL.
• 1:14:56
  AND YOU KNOW, ISN'T IT INTERESTING
• 1:14:57
  WHEN THE ENEMY DOES SOMETHING, MANY TIMES HE DOES IT,
• 1:15:02
  NOT WITH BAD THINGS, BUT HE LEADS YOU DOWN A PATH.
• 1:15:04
  JUST DON'T GET IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
• 1:15:06
  GO OVER HERE AND, YOU KNOW, WRITE A BOOK,
• 1:15:09
  BUT DON'T GET IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
• 1:15:10
  GO OVER HERE AND DO THIS, BUT DON'T SPEND TIME WITH GOD.
• 1:15:15
  AND I SEE THAT MORE AND MORE, AND I SEE IT IN
• 1:15:17
  CHURCHES MORE AND MORE.
• 1:15:19
  AND WHAT WE'VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO,
• 1:15:21
  AND WHAT WE HAVE NOW, IS THERE'S REALLY
• 1:15:24
  JUST A FEW, THREE KINDS OF CHURCHES.
• 1:15:28
  THERE'S THE TOTAL WHACK JOB CHURCHES
• 1:15:31
  THAT HAVE GONE EMBRACING EMBRACING WOKEISM, THAT'S
• 1:15:37
  THE NICEST WAY, AND WEARING THE RAINBOW, AND
• 1:15:42
  PROFESSING LGBTQ, AND EMBRACING EVERYTHING, AND
• 1:15:49
  THEY WILL MISQUOTE SCRIPTURE, AND THEY'LL SOUND GOOD.
• 1:15:51
  I MEAN, IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL,
• 1:15:53
  YOU DON'T KNOW THE WORD, YOU'LL BELIEVE IT.
• 1:15:57
  SO WE GOT THAT LEVEL OF CHURCH.
• 1:15:59
  WE GOT THE DEAD CHURCH, WHICH THEY'RE
• 1:16:02
  JUST PEOPLE THAT SHOW UP TO SEE WHAT GOD'S GOT TO SAY, WHAT
• 1:16:06
  COLOR SUIT THE PASTOR'S WIFE HAS ON AND WHAT SHE'S WEARING.
• 1:16:11
  AND THEN FINALLY, THERE'S THE REMNANT CHURCH.
• 1:16:16
  AND WE LOVE TO TALK ABOUT THE ECCLESIA AND
• 1:16:19
  THE REMNANT, BUT I'M TELLING YOU, THE REMNANT'S
• 1:16:22
  TAKING A HIT.
• 1:16:28
  IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE CHURCH
• 1:16:30
  WRITINGS OF OUR FOREFATHERS,
• 1:16:34
  YOU'LL BE SHOCKED AT WHAT THEY WERE DEALING WITH.
• 1:16:37
  I READ A BOOK, I HAVE A BOOK
• 1:16:38
  THAT I GOT, IT'S A VERY THIN BOOK BY A GUY NAMED
• 1:16:41
  OSWALD J. SMITH.
• 1:16:44
  AND IT'S NOT SOMEBODY THAT YOU'VE
• 1:16:46
  PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT, BUT OSWALD SMITH WROTE THIS BOOK
• 1:16:49
  IN 1922.
• 1:16:51
  AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE TITLE OF THE BOOK
• 1:16:52
  IS "THE REVIVAL WE NEED" AND HE SAID, "THE CHURCHES
• 1:16:56
  THAT I SEE IN CANADA AND THE AMERICAS ARE DISASTROUS.
• 1:17:00
  THEY DON'T TEACH A GOSPEL THAT SAVES.
• 1:17:02
  THEY'VE GONE AWAY FROM SALVATION MESSAGES
• 1:17:05
  AND THEY'RE MORE ENRAPTURED WITH WHO THEY ARE
• 1:17:08
  AND HOW ELOQUENT OF A SERMON THEY CAN PREACH
• 1:17:11
  AND HOW BIG THEIR CROWDS ARE."
• 1:17:14
  THIS IS 1922.
• 1:17:20
  WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF THIS.
• 1:17:22
  LISTEN, IF WE'RE GOING TO NOT JUST SAVE AMERICA,
• 1:17:26
  IF WE'RE GOING TO SAVE OURSELVES AND WHO WE ARE,
• 1:17:29
  LISTEN, THEY ARE AT OUR DOORSTEP.
• 1:17:34
  ISLAM WANTS TO TAKE YOU.
• 1:17:37
  THEY WANT THIS BUILDING.
• 1:17:40
  THEY WANT THE SCHOOL, THEY WANT THE OFFICES,
• 1:17:42
  THEY WANT IT ALL.
• 1:17:45
  AND WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THAT ALL THIS YEAR,
• 1:17:46
  AND I KNOW YOU'VE GOT, HE'S A LITTLE SHY,
• 1:17:49
  BUT ANDREW SEDRA, YOU KNOW.
• 1:17:51
  (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 1:17:53
  I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HIM TO GET HIM
• 1:17:54
  TO BE A LITTLE MORE VOCAL ABOUT IT.
• 1:17:56
  (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 1:17:59
  AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT,
• 1:18:02
  AND I LISTENED TO THESE PEOPLE, AND IN TEXAS WE'VE HAD
• 1:18:05
  A FEW RACES RECENTLY
• 1:18:07
  WHERE A CHRISTIAN GUY WENT AND ENTERTAINED AN IMAM
• 1:18:14
  AT HIS MUSLIM CONGREGATION BECAUSE HE'S TRYING
• 1:18:16
  TO GET THE VOTES.
• 1:18:18
  AND HE WON THE ELECTION OF MAYOR OF THAT PARTICULAR SMALLER CITY.
• 1:18:24
  AND IT'S LIKE, YOU DON'T REALIZE WHAT YOU'RE PLAYING WITH.
• 1:18:28
  THEY WILL BE YOUR FRIEND,
• 1:18:32
  AND THEN ONE DAY THEY WON'T BE.
• 1:18:35
  AND THEY WILL KILL YOU.
• 1:18:38
  SO I'M NOT, THIS IS NOT A MESSAGE ON ISLAM,
• 1:18:40
  BUT DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH INTO ISLAM,
• 1:18:47
  THE 1400 YEARS OF ISLAMIC REIGN AND WARS.
• 1:18:51
  AND THEY LOVE TO QUOTE, "WE BELIEVE IN JESUS."
• 1:18:56
  YES, THEY BELIEVE IN JESUS.
• 1:18:57
  THEY BELIEVE JESUS IS COMING BACK,
• 1:19:00
  BUT THAT'S WHERE THEY'LL LEAVE IT.
• 1:19:02
  WHAT THEY WON'T TELL YOU IS THEY BELIEVE JESUS
• 1:19:03
  IS COMING BACK AND HE'LL BE A MUSLIM,
• 1:19:06
  AND HE WILL BE POINTING EVERYBODY TO ALLAH AND MUHAMMAD.
• 1:19:13
  AND PEOPLE ARE BUYING THIS.
• 1:19:16
  THEY'RE BUYING IT.
• 1:19:18
  I MEAN, THERE ARE CHRISTIANS WHO ARE GOING,
• 1:19:22
  WELL, YOU KNOW, CAN'T WE JUST COEXIST?
• 1:19:24
  NO, YOU CAN'T.
• 1:19:28
  I'M HERE TO TELL YOU, YOU CANNOT COEXIST
• 1:19:30
  WITH AN ENEMY THAT WANTS TO DESTROY YOU.
• 1:19:35
  NOT EVEN, YES, THANK YOU FOR THAT, AMEN.
• 1:19:38
  YOU KNOW, YOU CANNOT DO IT AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
• 1:19:41
  BE ABLE TO MAKE IT WORK.
• 1:19:42
  AGAIN, I'M NOT GONNA PREACH ON ISLAM.
• 1:19:48
  BUT WE HAVE SO MANY THINGS THAT I THINK ABOUT MY DAD.
• 1:19:52
  MY DAD WENT TO HEAVEN BEFORE COVID
• 1:19:54
  AND I WAS SO HAPPY THAT HE WENT BEFORE
• 1:19:58
  BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T HAVE WORN THAT MASK AND HE'D
• 1:20:00
  HAVE BEEN IN TROUBLE AND YOU KNOW ALL THAT.
• 1:20:05
  BUT WE'RE DEALING WITH A DIFFERENT
• 1:20:07
  WORLD THAN WHAT WE DEALT WITH BEFORE.
• 1:20:12
  WE'RE DEALING WITH DIFFERENT ENEMIES.
• 1:20:14
  IT'S THE SAME ENEMY BUT WE'RE
• 1:20:15
  DEALING WITH DIFFERENT MANIFESTATIONS OF THAT ENEMY.
• 1:20:19
  AND WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE ONLY, AND THE REASON I SAY
• 1:20:22
  THIS IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE'RE
• 1:20:25
  GOING TO COVER THIS.
• 1:20:26
  IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY
• 1:20:28
  WONDERFUL FLASHPOINTS, I COULD DO A FLASHPOINT
• 1:20:31
  10 HOURS A DAY, GOD FORBID.
• 1:20:34
  AND IT'S NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING.
• 1:20:38
  IT WON'T DO ANYTHING IF WE DON'T HAVE THE PRESENCE OF GOD
• 1:20:45
  IN OUR LIVES.
• 1:20:46
  YEAH. WE HAVE TO, THE TIME IS COMING WHEN
• 1:20:52
  DECISIONS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE MADE BY THE DISCERNMENT
• 1:20:56
  OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR LIFE.
• 1:20:59
  AND IF YOU'RE NOT PUTTING IT IN RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE
• 1:21:01
  NOT, IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO HEAR HOLY SPIRIT, YOU'RE
• 1:21:05
  NOT GOING TO HEAR IT.
• 1:21:06
  YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THE LATEST THING AND BE TAKEN ASTRAY.
• 1:21:12
  SO WE CANNOT AFFORD TO JUST KICK BACK,
• 1:21:17
  CRUISE OVER TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY, MAYBE WEDNESDAY,
• 1:21:22
  AND OR MIDWEEK SERVICE OR WHATEVER.
• 1:21:24
  WE JUST, WE CAN'T AFFORD TO DO THAT ANYMORE.
• 1:21:27
  IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
• 1:21:30
  AND THE REASON, SO I STARTED DOING SOME SCRIPTURE,
• 1:21:34
  SO NOW I'M READY TO START.
• 1:21:38
  IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD, 1 CHRONICLES 13, THREE.
• 1:21:41
  NOW, BEFORE WE SHOW THE SCRIPTURE,
• 1:21:44
  LET ME EXPLAIN REAL QUICKLY WHAT WAS GOING ON.
• 1:21:47
  DAVID FOUGHT SOME BATTLES AND HE RECAPTURED THE ARK.
• 1:21:53
  AND SO HE SAYS IN 1ST 13, THREE, "IT'S TIME TO BRING
• 1:21:55
  BACK THE ARK OF OUR GOD, FOR WE NEGLECTED IT
• 1:21:58
  DURING THE REIGN OF SAUL."
• 1:22:01
  AND THAT IS THE CORE VERSE OF TODAY.
• 1:22:05
  WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO OUR FIRST LOVE.
• 1:22:09
  IT'S THE VERY THING YOU AND I WERE CREATED FOR.
• 1:22:14
  IT'S THE MOMENT WHEN HE, I BET IF I COULD TAKE
• 1:22:17
  A POLL IN THIS ROOM AND GO AROUND WITH A MICROPHONE,
• 1:22:20
  AND THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE CHRISTIANS WOULD UNDERSTAND
• 1:22:22
  THERE WAS A MOMENT WHERE GOD MADE HIMSELF
• 1:22:25
  SO AMAZINGLY REAL TO YOU.
• 1:22:29
  YOU KNEW IT WAS A TANGIBLE EXPERIENCE.
• 1:22:31
  IF THAT'S YOU, RAISE YOUR HAND.
• 1:22:33
  ALL RIGHT, NOW LOOK AROUND, KEEP YOUR HAND UP, LOOK AROUND.
• 1:22:35
  THERE'S A FEW PEOPLE HERE WITH THEIR HANDS UP, RIGHT?
• 1:22:41
  PSALM 22, THREE TELLS US, "WORSHIP'S THE DOORWAY
• 1:22:44
  TO MEETING GOD."
• 1:22:45
  SO I DID A LITTLE, I REMEMBERED HEARING THERE'S
• 1:22:51
  EZEKIEL 30, EXODUS 33.
• 1:22:54
  AND EXODUS 33 TALKS ABOUT THE TENT, BECAUSE I'D
• 1:22:58
  BEEN, YOU KNOW, THINKING ABOUT DOING THIS TENT
• 1:23:02
  ON THE PROPERTY AND ALL THAT.
• 1:23:04
  SO I WENT AND STARTED DOING SOME, A LITTLE MORE RESEARCH AND
• 1:23:07
  STUDYING TENTS AND SCRIPTURE.
• 1:23:09
  AND I KNEW ABOUT THE, YOU KNOW, THE,
• 1:23:12
  YOU KNOW, THE TABERNACLE AND EVERYTHING, THE TENT,
• 1:23:15
  BUT SOME THINGS STOOD OUT TO ME THAT I NEVER REALLY
• 1:23:18
  PICKED UP BEFORE.
• 1:23:20
  AND I'M GONNA PARAPHRASE IT.
• 1:23:21
  YOU CAN GO BACK AND READ EZEKIEL 33, I MEAN, EXODUS 33.
• 1:23:25
  BUT HERE'S THE WAY IT WOULD HAPPEN.
• 1:23:28
  WHEN MOSES WOULD GO TO THE TENT, THE TENT WAS NOT IN TOWN OR IN
• 1:23:33
  VILLAGE OR HOWEVER YOU WANT TO, WHERE EVERYBODY LIVED.
• 1:23:38
  THE TENT WAS ALWAYS OUT OF TOWN OR AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE.
• 1:23:44
  THERE'S A KEY RIGHT THERE.
• 1:23:47
  WHEN MOSES WOULD HEAD TO THE TENT,
• 1:23:50
  PEOPLE WOULD COME TO THE DOORWAY OF THEIR TENT
• 1:23:54
  TO WATCH MOSES PASS BY.
• 1:24:00
  SO GET THAT IMAGE IN YOUR HEAD.
• 1:24:03
  EVERYBODY'S COMING TO THE TENT.
• 1:24:04
  SO THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A MAIN STREET THAT HE'S GONNA WALK BY.
• 1:24:10
  MOSES WALKS BY, EVERYBODY'S, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY
• 1:24:13
  STOOD AT ATTENTION, SCRIPTURE DOESN'T TELL US,
• 1:24:15
  BUT THEY STOOD AT THEIR TENT AND ACKNOWLEDGED
• 1:24:17
  MOSES AS HE WALKED BY
• 1:24:19
  UNTIL HE DISAPPEARED, HOWEVER LONG IT TOOK, INTO THE TENT.
• 1:24:23
  AND THEN THE PILLAR OF CLOUD CAME DOWN WHILE HE WAS THERE.
• 1:24:27
  INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, ALL THESE DECADES,
• 1:24:30
  WE'VE CALLED A TENT MEETING.
• 1:24:34
  SCRIPTURE CALLS IT THE TENT OF MEETING.
• 1:24:36
  THE REASON WHY, WE TALK ABOUT LET'S HAVE A MEETING.
• 1:24:39
  LET'S GO HAVE A MEETING AND IT'S ALL A BUNCH OF PEOPLE.
• 1:24:41
  BY THE WAY, I HATE CORPORATE MEETINGS.
• 1:24:44
  AND THAT'S WHY THINGS HAPPEN FAST AT FLASHPOINT
• 1:24:48
  'CAUSE I SAY, YES, NO, LET'S NOT DO THAT.
• 1:24:50
  YES, TERI, OKAY, YEAH, LET'S GO.
• 1:24:53
  AND WE JUST, LET'S GET SOMETHING DONE
• 1:24:55
  AND SIT AROUND AND TALK ABOUT IT.
• 1:24:57
  THERE'S TIME AND SEASON WHERE YOU HAVE TO TALK
• 1:24:59
  SOME THINGS OUT, I'LL GIVE THAT CAVEAT.
• 1:25:02
  BUT THE TENT OF MEETING WAS NOT FOR US
• 1:25:06
  TO COME TOGETHER AND TALK.
• 1:25:08
  IT WAS FOR MOSES TO MEET WITH GOD.
• 1:25:11
  SEE, WHEN WE COME TO CHURCH, WHEN WE COME TO THIS TENT,
• 1:25:15
  WE ARE COMING HERE TO MEET GOD.
• 1:25:18
  WE'RE NOT EVEN COMING HERE, SHOULDN'T BE COMING HERE
• 1:25:22
  TO MEET HANK OR MEET PASTOR BRENDA.
• 1:25:25
  THAT'S NOT, YES, THEY ARE THE VESSEL BEING USED,
• 1:25:29
  BUT THAT'S NOT YOUR REASON FOR COMING.
• 1:25:33
  IS THIS MAKING SENSE?
• 1:25:34
  YOU'RE WITH ME SO FAR?
• 1:25:35
  OKAY, SO HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED.
• 1:25:39
  THEY WOULD COME IN, THEY WOULD GO THERE.
• 1:25:40
  ALL RIGHT, SO EXODUS 33, NINE, "MOSES ENTERED INTO
• 1:25:43
  THE TABERNACLE, THE CLOUDY PILLAR DESCENDED,
• 1:25:46
  STOOD AT THE DOOR OF THE TABERNACLE,
• 1:25:47
  AND THE LORD TALKED WITH MOSES."
• 1:25:50
  NEXT SCRIPTURE.
• 1:25:51
  "AND ALL THE PEOPLE SAW THE CLOUDY PILLAR STAND AT THE DOOR,
• 1:25:54
  AND ALL THE PEOPLE ROSE UP AND WORSHIPED EVERY MAN
• 1:25:59
  IN HIS TENT DOOR."
• 1:26:05
  HAD YOU GUYS SEEN THIS BEFORE?
• 1:26:06
  AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SKIPPED OVER THAT?
• 1:26:08
  "EVERY MAN AT HIS TENT DOOR."
• 1:26:11
  SO HERE'S MOSES WAY OVER THERE.
• 1:26:14
  AND THEY WATCH HIM GO IN AND THEY'RE STANDING
• 1:26:17
  HERE WORSHIPING BECAUSE THEY KNOW HE'S OVER
• 1:26:20
  THERE HEARING FROM GOD.
• 1:26:23
  HE'S MEETING GOD OVER THERE.
• 1:26:26
  JUST THE CONCEPT, LIKE, "SEE YOU LATER, I GOTTA GO IN HERE
• 1:26:29
  AND CHAT WITH THE BIG GUY.
• 1:26:32
  GONNA GO OVER HERE, HAVE A MEETING WITH HIM."
• 1:26:35
  BUT THEY WORSHIPPED AT THIS POINT.
• 1:26:37
  NOW, WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
• 1:26:40
  HERE'S MY QUESTION.
• 1:26:41
  WHY IS IT, WHY DID THEY WORSHIP?
• 1:26:44
  I MEAN, THEY HAD GOD MEETING THE CLOUD, PILLAR,
• 1:26:48
  AND EVERYTHING HAPPENING WITH MOSES.
• 1:26:50
  THEY KNEW HE WAS IN THERE WITH GOD, YOU KNOW, LIKE, HEY.
• 1:26:53
  BECAUSE THE REVERENCE AND THE AWE THEY HAD
• 1:26:55
  FOR WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE TENT,
• 1:26:59
  THEY WORSHIPED GOD AT THEIR HOUSE.
• 1:27:05
  WHEN WE GET A HOLD OF THIS AND UNDERSTAND,
• 1:27:08
  IT'S NOT ABOUT US, I KNOW THAT'S WILD.
• 1:27:14
  IT'S NOT ABOUT US.
• 1:27:17
  IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU.
• 1:27:19
  IT'S ABOUT US HEARING FROM GOD, AND THIS IS WHY.
• 1:27:22
  THIS IS WHY WE HAVE A CHURCH.
• 1:27:25
  THIS IS WHY WE KNOW PASTOR HANK IS GOING TO GO AWAY
• 1:27:28
  AND HEAR FROM GOD, BUT MY RESPONSIBILITY,
• 1:27:32
  ACTUALLY, IS I SHOULD BE WORSHIPING AT HOME
• 1:27:35
  FOR WHEN HE COMES BACK.
• 1:27:38
  AND WHY AM I DOING THAT?
• 1:27:41
  YEAH, I'M DOING THAT SO I CAN RECEIVE,
• 1:27:43
  TO BE IN THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE, THE RIGHT ATTITUDE OF RECEPTION
• 1:27:47
  WHEN HE COMES BACK TO GIVE THE WORD.
• 1:27:52
  OKAY, NEXT SCRIPTURE.
• 1:27:54
  THE LORD SPAKE UNTO MOSES FACE TO FACE
• 1:27:56
  AS A MAN SPEAKS TO HIS FRIEND.
• 1:27:58
  AND HE TURNED AGAIN TO THE CAMP, BUT HIS SERVANT
• 1:28:00
  JOSHUA, SON OF NONE, A YOUNG MAN DEPARTED NOT
• 1:28:03
  OUT OF THE TABERNACLE.
• 1:28:06
  AND MOSES SAID TO THE LORD, SEE, YOU SAY TO ME,
• 1:28:08
  BRING UP THESE PEOPLE.
• 1:28:09
  THOU HAST NOT LET ME WHOM WITH THOU SEND ME,
• 1:28:11
  YET THOU SAID, I KNOW THEE BY NAME,
• 1:28:13
  AND ALSO FOUND GRACE IN MY SIGHT.
• 1:28:17
  NOW THEREFORE I PRAY THEE, IF I FOUND GRACE IN THY SIGHT,
• 1:28:19
  SHOW ME NOW THY WAY, THAT I MIGHT KNOW THEE,
• 1:28:22
  MY FINE GRACE IN THY SIGHT, AND CONSIDER THAT THIS
• 1:28:24
  NATION IS THY PEOPLE.
• 1:28:26
  HE GOES ON TO SAY, BASICALLY, THIS IS WHERE CLEFT OF THE ROCK,
• 1:28:30
  THAT WHOLE PART OF THE STORY, SHOW ME YOUR GLORY.
• 1:28:38
  HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE PRAYED THAT?
• 1:28:41
  I'LL BE HONEST, THAT'S NOT IN MY PRAYER VOCABULARY.
• 1:28:46
  BUT IT SHOULD BE.
• 1:28:49
  USUALLY IT'S, "OH GOD, HELP ME."
• 1:28:54
  NO, THAT'S OUR DEFAULT MECHANISM WHEN WE PRAY.
• 1:28:58
  BUT WE NEED TO BE WORSHIPPING GOD.
• 1:29:01
  AND BY WORSHIP, LISTEN TO THIS, I HOPE YOU HEAR ME.
• 1:29:05
  THIS ISN'T ABOUT HAVING THE BEST WORSHIP TEAM,
• 1:29:09
  OR THE GREATEST MUSIC OR SOUNDTRACK OR CRAZY LIGHTS.
• 1:29:17
  REINHARD BONNKE SAID IF YOU SERVE CAKE AND COOKIES,
• 1:29:22
  TEA AND CAKE, TO GET YOUR PEOPLE TO COME,
• 1:29:25
  YOU'LL HAVE TO ALWAYS SERVE TEA AND CAKE TO KEEP THEM.
• 1:29:31
  WE DON'T NEED A LIGHT SHOW.
• 1:29:32
  I KNOW, DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE ALL THE TECH.
• 1:29:35
  SO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT.
• 1:29:38
  I LOVE ALL THIS, NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.
• 1:29:40
  BUT WHEN THAT BECOMES THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN WORSHIP,
• 1:29:43
  YOU'VE MISSED GOD.
• 1:29:47
  AND YOU KNOW, AND WE WILL CLAP AND WE'LL SAY,
• 1:29:49
  YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
• 1:29:51
  BUT THE TRUTH IS WE'VE BECOME A NATION IN OUR CHURCHES
• 1:29:55
  THAT HAS DONE THAT, THAT WE'VE ALLOWED OURSELVES TO BE SUCKED
• 1:30:01
  INTO THIS STRUCTURE THAT IT MUST BE A CERTAIN WAY.
• 1:30:07
  NOW FOR INSTANCE, I DON'T KNOW WHO MESSED WITH THE AIR
• 1:30:10
  CONDITIONING HERE THIS MORNING, BUT THEY NEED A
• 1:30:13
  STERN TALKING TO.
• 1:30:18
  BUT HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BEEN INTO SOMETHING
• 1:30:21
  AND YOU HEAR, WELL, THE AIR CONDITIONING DIDN'T WORK,
• 1:30:23
  SO I HAD TO GET UP AND LEAVE?
• 1:30:24
  YOU KNOW, WE ARE SO SOFT.
• 1:30:28
  LISTEN, I GREW UP GOING TO TENT MEETINGS WITH MY PARENTS
• 1:30:31
  AND I HATED IT.
• 1:30:34
  HATE'S A WRONG WORD, A HARSH WORD.
• 1:30:38
  I REALLY HATED IT.
• 1:30:44
  BECAUSE THERE WAS ALWAYS SISTER SO-AND-SO THAT I KNEW WAS
• 1:30:47
  GOING TO MANIFEST RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME OR SOMETHING.
• 1:30:52
  AND THEY'RE, "WOO!"
• 1:30:55
  BUT I DID KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL
• 1:30:59
  ABOUT BEING IN THAT.
• 1:31:01
  AND PEOPLE, YOU HAD TO HAVE THE FUNERAL HOME PROVIDED THE FANS.
• 1:31:06
  I'M REALLY GOING BACK NOW.
• 1:31:07
  DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER THAT?
• 1:31:08
  CAN ANYBODY SAY, YEAH, HALF OF Y'ALL AREN'T EVEN OLD ENOUGH.
• 1:31:11
  YEAH, FUNERAL HOME FANS, THAT WAS YOUR AIR CONDITIONING.
• 1:31:17
  AND EVERYBODY THINKS, OH, ISN'T IT COOL
• 1:31:19
  THEY HAD CEDAR SHAVINGS ON THE, YOU KNOW THE REASON WHY
• 1:31:21
  THEY HAD CEDAR SHAVINGS?
• 1:31:22
  TO KEEP THE BUGS AWAY.
• 1:31:24
  BUGS DON'T LIKE CEDAR.
• 1:31:27
  THERE'S A LITTLE HISTORY FOR YOU.
• 1:31:31
  IT DIDN'T ALWAYS WORK.
• 1:31:33
  AND IF YOUR KID WAS CRYING, YOU JUST PICKED HIM UP
• 1:31:35
  AND YOU SPANKED HIM OUT HERE AND SET HIM OUTSIDE THE TENT.
• 1:31:41
  TELL HANK I'LL CALL HIM LATER.
• 1:31:43
  (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 1:31:46
  SO IN EXODUS 33, 18, HE SAID, "I BESEECH THEE,
• 1:31:50
  SHOW ME THY GLORY."
• 1:31:53
  THAT NEEDS TO BE IN OUR VERNACULAR,
• 1:31:54
  IT NEEDS TO BE OUR LIST ON OUR PRAYER LIST EVERY DAY.
• 1:32:00
  WORSHIP IS THE DOORWAY TO MEETING GOD, THAT'S PSALM 22.
• 1:32:06
  AND WHEN YOU STUDY THE LIFE OF DAVID,
• 1:32:08
  THE WAY HE CARRIED THE ARK, AND IT GOES ON TO TALK ABOUT
• 1:32:11
  UZZAH WHO TOUCHED THE ARK AND IT KILLED HIM 'CAUSE
• 1:32:14
  HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, IT'S BECAUSE HE WASN'T
• 1:32:17
  DOING THINGS IN ORDER.
• 1:32:20
  HERE WE GO, NUMBER ONE, WE HAVE TO VALUE THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
• 1:32:27
  DO YOU MERELY AFTER THE OUTWARD SHAPE OF CHRISTIANITY
• 1:32:32
  OR THE CHRIST WHO'S AT ITS HEART?
• 1:32:35
  REAL RELATIONSHIPS GROW OUT OF SHARED EXPERIENCE
• 1:32:38
  AND CHRISTIANITY WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A RELIGION.
• 1:32:41
  IT'S A RELATIONSHIP.
• 1:32:43
  WHY SETTLE FOR A RELIGION WITH NO RELATIONSHIP AT ALL?
• 1:32:47
  IT'S LIKE WHY BE MARRIED IF YOU NEVER HAVE A
• 1:32:51
  RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR SPOUSE?
• 1:32:54
  YOU KNOW, TERI DOES THIS THING THAT ABSOLUTELY
• 1:32:56
  DRIVES ME UP THE WALL.
• 1:33:00
  AND IF I'VE BEEN BURIED INTO MY PHONE TOO MUCH OR
• 1:33:05
  LOOKING AT SOMETHING TOO LONG, SHE'LL COME OVER AND GO,
• 1:33:10
  "HELLO, REMEMBER ME?"
• 1:33:13
  [LAUGHTER]
• 1:33:14
  I'M LIKE, "OH, MY GOD."
• 1:33:15
  [LAUGHTER]
• 1:33:16
  IT'S LIKE CHRISTIANITY JUST WENT OUT THE DOOR.
• 1:33:20
  [LAUGHTER]
• 1:33:20
  YES.
• 1:33:26
  SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO, WITH ALL THE DISTRACTIONS,
• 1:33:29
  ALL OF US NEED TO UNDERSTAND, WE HAVE TO--
• 1:33:32
  HOW MANY OF YOU-- I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE I SHOULDN'T
• 1:33:34
  ASK FOR A SHOW OF HANDS.
• 1:33:35
  IF YOU'RE MARRIED, YOU KNOW A RELATIONSHIP
• 1:33:39
  DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN.
• 1:33:41
  YOU HAVE TO WORK ON IT.
• 1:33:44
  AMEN? OK.
• 1:33:47
  GUYS ARE GOING, "WHAT DO I DO?
• 1:33:51
  WHAT DO I SAY?
• 1:33:52
  DON'T LOOK, DON'T LOOK, DON'T LOOK!"
• 1:33:58
  WE NEED THE RELATIONSHIP.
• 1:34:00
  WILLIAM WILBERFORCE SAID THIS, AND THIS IS A GREAT QUOTE,
• 1:34:03
  AND I HOPE YOU CAN-- I HOPE YOU REMEMBER THIS.
• 1:34:06
  HE SAYS, "THE CHIEF DANGER THAT CONFRONTS THE COMING CENTURY
• 1:34:09
  WILL BE RELIGION WITHOUT THE HOLY GHOST,
• 1:34:14
  CHRISTIANITY WITHOUT CHRIST, FORGIVENESS WITHOUT REPENTANCE,
• 1:34:18
  SALVATION WITHOUT REGENERATION, POLITICS WITHOUT GOD."
• 1:34:21
  HELLO?
• 1:34:23
  POLITICS WITHOUT GOD, HEAVEN WITHOUT HELL.
• 1:34:27
  HE JUST DESCRIBED THE AMERICAN CHURCH.
• 1:34:34
  I REMEMBER WHEN HELLFIRE AND BRIMSTONE,
• 1:34:36
  WE CALLED THAT SUNDAY.
• 1:34:38
  AND SUNDAY NIGHT WAS HOTTER.
• 1:34:43
  AND WE USED TO HAVE TESTIMONY SERVICES.
• 1:34:47
  I'M REALLY DIGGING, AREN'T I?
• 1:34:51
  WE'VE GOT TO, WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO SOME OF OUR ROOTS HERE.
• 1:34:54
  AND NOT THAT WE GOT TO GET, TURN THE AIR CONDITIONING
• 1:34:58
  OFF AND GET HOT AND SWEATY.
• 1:35:00
  WE DON'T HAVE TO GET THAT FAR BACK.
• 1:35:03
  BUT WE DO NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE
• 1:35:05
  WAS REASONS GOD MOVED.
• 1:35:06
  WHEN YOU HEAR TESTIMONIES, IT BOLSTERS YOUR FAITH.
• 1:35:11
  IT INCREASES YOUR FAITH.
• 1:35:15
  KING SAUL KEPT THE FRAMEWORK IN PLACE,
• 1:35:17
  BUT HE LET THE PRESENT SLIP AWAY.
• 1:35:21
  KING SAUL THOUGHT HE COULD DO IT ALL ON HIS OWN.
• 1:35:25
  AND I'LL JUST GET SAMUEL OVER HERE TO,
• 1:35:27
  HEY, SO GIVE ME A WORD, BLESS ME,
• 1:35:29
  'CAUSE I'M GONNA GO OUT AND DO WHAT I NEED TO DO.
• 1:35:34
  IT IS NEVER GOING TO WORK WHEN YOU TRY TO MAKE
• 1:35:37
  THIS RELATIONSHIP WORK.
• 1:35:40
  IT BECOMES RELIGIOUS, AND I HATE RELIGIOUS.
• 1:35:44
  AND I PROBABLY HATE RELIGION MORE
• 1:35:45
  IN THE LAST FIVE, SIX YEARS THAN EVER,
• 1:35:48
  BECAUSE WE HAVE BECOME WEAK AND INEFFECTIVE.
• 1:35:51
  NOT EVERYWHERE.
• 1:35:55
  HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TOLD US WE NEED TO BE NICE?
• 1:35:57
  I CAN'T TELL YOU THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT WRITE IN
• 1:35:59
  AND SAY, "YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD BE NICER TO LANCE."
• 1:36:03
  (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 1:36:08
  IT WAS SO BAD IN THE BEGINNING, BECAUSE PEOPLE WEREN'T USED
• 1:36:13
  TO THAT TYPE OF BANTER.
• 1:36:15
  I GOT SO BAD I HAD TO CALL LANCE.
• 1:36:17
  LANCE, OKAY, SO I GUESS I NEED TO APOLOGIZE
• 1:36:21
  BECAUSE THEY SAY I'M GIVING YOU A HARD TIME.
• 1:36:23
  GENE, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
• 1:36:24
  THIS IS GREAT TELEVISION.
• 1:36:29
  OKAY, GOOD, JUST MAKING SURE YOU'RE OKAY.
• 1:36:31
  YEAH, SURE, KEEP IT UP, LET'S DO IT.
• 1:36:36
  WE HAVE GOT TO STOP BEING SO SENSITIVE.
• 1:36:41
  (CONGREGATION APPLAUDING)
• 1:36:44
  THANK YOU.
• 1:36:46
  OUR SENSITIVITY HAS OUTGROWN OUR CHRISTIANITY.
• 1:36:51
  AND THAT'S NEVER GONNA WORK.
• 1:36:52
  AND WE'VE BECOME, AND THIS IS BECAUSE OUR CULTURE
• 1:36:55
  AND OUR SOCIETY HAS EMBRACED A CULTURE AND SOCIETY
• 1:36:59
  THAT IS ALL ABOUT ME AND MY NEEDS AND MY TRUTH
• 1:37:03
  AND WHAT I NEED.
• 1:37:06
  AND THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO HEAVEN.
• 1:37:08
  THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO HAVING A LASTING RELATIONSHIP
• 1:37:10
  IS ALL ABOUT YOU.
• 1:37:13
  TRY THAT AT HOME AND SEE HOW WELL THAT WORKS.
• 1:37:15
  IT JUST DOESN'T WORK.
• 1:37:18
  HERE'S THE HEART OF IT.
• 1:37:19
  YOU STRIP AWAY GOD'S PRESENCE, AND WHAT REMAINS IS NOTHING
• 1:37:24
  BUT LIFELESS RELIGION.
• 1:37:30
  WHERE HE IS, THERE'S LIFE.
• 1:37:32
  WHERE HE IS, THERE'S ENERGY.
• 1:37:34
  WHERE HE IS, THERE'S PURPOSE, AND THERE'S FULFILLMENT.
• 1:37:41
  YOU HAVE TO SURRENDER.
• 1:37:43
  AND I'M JUST TELLING YOU, THIS IS SO MUCH THE KEY
• 1:37:49
  THAT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE WALKING INTO.
• 1:37:52
  NUMBER TWO, WE HAVE TO BECOME A PRAISING PEOPLE.
• 1:37:56
  DAVID CARRIED THE ARK SURROUNDED BY PRAISE.
• 1:38:01
  AND THEY HAD A CERTAIN WAY THAT THEY PRAISED DAVID.
• 1:38:03
  LOOK AT FIRST CHRONICLES 13, EIGHT.
• 1:38:07
  DAVID AND ALL ISRAEL PLAYED MUSIC BEFORE GOD
• 1:38:09
  WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT.
• 1:38:12
  DID YOU HEAR THAT?
• 1:38:13
  WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT, SINGING, HARPS, TAMBOURINES,
• 1:38:17
  TAMBOURINES ARE OF THE DEVIL NOW,
• 1:38:18
  CYMBALS AND TRUMPETS.
• 1:38:21
  NO, THEY'RE NOT, I'M KIDDING.
• 1:38:24
  SOME OF Y'ALL, THAT'S THE ONLY MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.
• 1:38:26
  THAT WAS ME.
• 1:38:27
  I COULD PLAY THE TAMBOURINE AND THE RADIO.
• 1:38:32
  2 SAMUEL 6:14-15 DAVID DANCED BEFORE THE
• 1:38:36
  LORD WITH ALL HIS MIGHT, WITH SHOUTING AND THE
• 1:38:39
  SOUND OF THE TRUMPET.
• 1:38:40
  OKAY, SOME OF Y'ALL NEED TO DANCE AT HOME.
• 1:38:45
  AND NOT AT THE CHURCH, I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AT CHURCH.
• 1:38:48
  (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 1:38:52
  YOU KNOW, WHEN I GOT MARRIED TO TERI,
• 1:38:57
  WE WERE GOING TO A CHURCH, AND MY APPROACH TO
• 1:39:02
  CHURCH WAS I CAME IN, IF I WAS COMING TO THIS
• 1:39:05
  CHURCH SEVERAL YEARS AGO, I'D BE ON THE BACK ROW,
• 1:39:09
  BACK AGAINST THE WALL, PREFERABLY IN THAT
• 1:39:11
  CORNER OR THAT CORNER SO I COULD MAKE SURE NOBODY'S
• 1:39:16
  GONNA SNEAK UP ON ME.
• 1:39:19
  YOU KNOW, IT WAS GREAT PERSPECTIVE,
• 1:39:21
  EASY OUT, DON'T HAVE TO TALK TO ANYBODY.
• 1:39:24
  TERI, AT THE SAME CHURCH, WAS ON THE FRONT ROW.
• 1:39:30
  AND I COULD SEE HER IN THAT CHURCH
• 1:39:32
  THAT SEAT ABOUT 3,000, 4,000 PEOPLE.
• 1:39:34
  I COULD SEE HER FROM MY SEAT.
• 1:39:40
  I'M LIKE, OH GOD, REALLY?
• 1:39:43
  BUT THAT'S GOD JUST MESSING WITH ME.
• 1:39:45
  YOU KNOW, HE JUST WANTED TO DO THAT.
• 1:39:49
  WE HAVE TO LEARN TO PRAISE GOD, EVEN WHEN YOU FEEL SILLY.
• 1:39:55
  AND WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT?
• 1:39:56
  WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT?
• 1:39:59
  BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO NOT BE BECAUSE YOU WANNA BE SILLY,
• 1:40:01
  IT NEEDS TO BE BECAUSE YOU WANNA DO IT FROM YOUR HEART.
• 1:40:04
  SOME OF YOU CAN'T SING A LICK, AND THAT'S OKAY.
• 1:40:08
  BUT WHEN YOU SING TO HIM, IT'S A SWEET SOUND IN HIS EARS.
• 1:40:12
  SOME OF YOU CAN'T DANCE A LICK, I'VE SEEN YOU.
• 1:40:17
  IT DOESN'T MATTER, YOU DANCE AT HOME,
• 1:40:19
  DANCE IN YOUR PRIVATE TIME, DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.
• 1:40:23
  BUT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE TO BECOME
• 1:40:25
  A PRAISING PEOPLE.
• 1:40:27
  GOD MAKES HIS HOME IN PRAISE, PSALM 22, THREE,
• 1:40:29
  TAKES UP RESIDENCE IN THE WORSHIP OF HIS PEOPLE.
• 1:40:33
  BUT GENUINE PRAISE REQUIRES YOU TO RELEASE YOUR GRIP.
• 1:40:38
  YOU EVER NOTICE THAT?
• 1:40:44
  I USED TO GO TO A BAPTIST CHURCH.
• 1:40:47
  SEE, WHEN I WAS BORN IN GEORGIA, EVERYBODY'S SOUTHERN BAPTIST.
• 1:40:50
  YOU COULD BE A FOUL HEATHEN, BUT YOU SAID YOU WERE
• 1:40:53
  SOUTHERN BAPTIST.
• 1:40:55
  IF YOU RAISED YOUR HAND, YOU WERE IMMEDIATELY PENTECOSTAL.
• 1:41:01
  ONE OF THOSE CRAZY PEOPLE.
• 1:41:05
  AND IF YOU'RE CATHOLIC, YOU WERE JUST GOING TO HELL,
• 1:41:08
  'CAUSE THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT WAS.
• 1:41:12
  SORRY, IT'S JUST THE SOUTH.
• 1:41:14
  IT'S THE WAY WE WERE.
• 1:41:17
  I LOVE EVERYBODY.
• 1:41:23
  AND THAT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, I WENT TO A CATHOLIC SERVICE
• 1:41:26
  NOT TOO LONG AGO, ACTUALLY HERE IN OMAHA,
• 1:41:29
  AND TERI HAD TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO,
• 1:41:32
  AND WHEN TO STAND UP, WHEN TO KNEEL.
• 1:41:35
  OH NO, YOU CAN'T TAKE COMMUNION, YOU KNOW,
• 1:41:37
  'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT CATHOLIC.
• 1:41:38
  AND I'M LIKE, HOW DO Y'ALL GET NEW PEOPLE IN THIS CHURCH?
• 1:41:43
  I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
• 1:41:45
  I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
• 1:41:46
  SO THEN WE WERE DOWN IN THE, WHAT
• 1:41:48
  DO YOU CALL THAT PLACE?
• 1:41:50
  DOWN IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CHURCH, THE FELLOWSHIP
• 1:41:53
  HALL TYPE THING.
• 1:41:53
  WE WERE EATING.
• 1:41:55
  A COUPLE OF PRIESTS CAME UP TO TALK TO ME.
• 1:41:59
  I STARTED TELLING THEM WHO IT WAS.
• 1:42:07
  TOLD THEM AT THE TIME, I SAID, YEAH, I USED
• 1:42:11
  TO WORK WITH JIM BAKER.
• 1:42:13
  WORK WITH KENNETH COPELAND NOW.
• 1:42:15
  WELL, SO NICE TO HAVE YOU HERE.
• 1:42:21
  BUT THERE WAS ONE, DIDN'T BOTHER HIM A BIT.
• 1:42:28
  WE HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION.
• 1:42:31
  AND COME TO FIND OUT HE WAS SPIRIT FILLED AND LOVED JESUS.
• 1:42:36
  I MEAN, IT WAS GREAT.
• 1:42:36
  IT WAS GREAT.
• 1:42:38
  I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M TELLING YOU THAT, BUT IT DID.
• 1:42:40
  WE GOT TO, WE GOT TO PRAISE.
• 1:42:42
  WE GOT TO OFFER GOD, WE GOT TO OFFER GOD WHAT HE NEEDS.
• 1:42:45
  NUMBER THREE, WE GOT TO LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES.
• 1:42:48
  AND THIS IS WHAT DAVID DID REALLY GOOD IN THIS.
• 1:42:53
  OF COURSE, DIDN'T HELP UZZAH TOO MUCH
• 1:42:56
  'CAUSE HE WAS DEAD.
• 1:42:58
  BUT IN THE BEGINNING, DAVID LOADED THE ARK
• 1:43:03
  AND HE WAS ON A CART PULLED BY THE OXEN.
• 1:43:05
  BUT WHEN HE LOST, WHEN THEY LOST THEIR FOOTING,
• 1:43:07
  THE MAN CALLED UZZAH, AND WE KNOW THE STORY, HE DIED.
• 1:43:12
  2 SAMUEL 6:7 SAYS, "THE ANGER OF THE LORD
• 1:43:14
  WAS AROUSED AGAINST UZZAH, AND HE DIED THERE
• 1:43:16
  BY THE ARK OF GOD."
• 1:43:17
  IN TIME, DAVID RECOGNIZED WHERE HE HAD GONE WRONG.
• 1:43:22
  REALLY, I THINK SOMETHING WENT WRONG HERE.
• 1:43:26
  BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T DO IT THE FIRST TIME,
• 1:43:27
  THE LORD OUR GOD BROKE OUT AGAINST US
• 1:43:29
  BECAUSE WE DID NOT CONSULT HIM ABOUT THE PROPER ORDER.
• 1:43:32
  1 CHRONICLES 15:13.
• 1:43:34
  THERE'S A RIGHT AND PROPER WAY TO HOST THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
• 1:43:38
  SO WHAT DID HE DO?
• 1:43:40
  LET ME SKIP TO THE POINT.
• 1:43:43
  THEY WOULD CARRY THE ARK ON POLES CARRIED BY MEN.
• 1:43:52
  AND WHEN THEY DID THIS, THEY WOULD STOP EVERY,
• 1:43:55
  I THINK IT WAS EVERY SIX STEPS AND PRAISE GOD.
• 1:44:01
  ANOTHER SIX STEPS AND THEY WOULD PRAISE GOD.
• 1:44:04
  THEY WOULD WORSHIP GOD.
• 1:44:06
  THIS IS THE VALUE OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD,
• 1:44:10
  OF UNDERSTANDING WHERE YOU ARE.
• 1:44:13
  SO WE LOOK AT THIS AS A BIBLE STORY THAT WE GO,
• 1:44:17
  WOW, LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID AND, YOU KNOW,
• 1:44:19
  ALL THAT LONG TIME AGO, AND WE DON'T APPLY IT TO TODAY.
• 1:44:22
  NOW I'M NOT SAYING YOU WALK TO WORK AND EVERY SIX STEPS
• 1:44:25
  YOU BREAK OUT INTO HOLY GHOST PRAISE,
• 1:44:30
  'CAUSE THEY WILL FIRE YOU.
• 1:44:37
  BUT WE HAVE TO KNOW THAT IT'S GONNA COST.
• 1:44:39
  THAT'S NUMBER FOUR, PRAISE AND WORSHIP,
• 1:44:41
  IT'S GONNA COST YOU.
• 1:44:42
  THOSE BEARING THE ARK HAD GONE SIX PACES,
• 1:44:45
  HE SACRIFICED OXEN AND FATTED SHEEP.
• 1:44:47
  THAT'S 2 SAMUEL 6:13, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK IT UP.
• 1:44:50
  2 SAMUEL 6:13.
• 1:44:54
  SO THERE'S A REASON WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND,
• 1:44:57
  BUT HERE'S THE GREAT THING ABOUT THE WORSHIP SIDE OF THIS.
• 1:45:01
  AND PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHEN I SAY,
• 1:45:03
  WORSHIP ISN'T JUST WHAT HAPPENS UP HERE
• 1:45:07
  AT THE BEGINNING OF SERVICE ON A SUNDAY MORNING.
• 1:45:09
  IT'S NOT, THAT IS WORSHIP, BUT THAT'S NOT,
• 1:45:12
  THAT'S NOT WHERE IT STARTS AND THAT'S NOT WHERE IT ENDS.
• 1:45:15
  IT'S GOTTA BE A PERSONAL THING AND WE'VE GOTTA UNDERSTAND IT.
• 1:45:20
  SO, BUT WORSHIP WILL COST YOU SOMETHING.
• 1:45:26
  THERE'S ALWAYS A RESISTANCE.
• 1:45:28
  YOU KNOW, WHEN WE STARTED FLASHPOINT,
• 1:45:31
  I THOUGHT CHURCHES WOULD PRETTY MUCH GET ON BOARD.
• 1:45:34
  IN THE SECOND YEAR I SAID, LET'S DON'T GO TO
• 1:45:37
  CONVENTION CENTERS, LET'S GO TO CHURCHES SO THAT
• 1:45:41
  I'VE BEEN BASHING PASTORS FOR NOT STANDING UP.
• 1:45:43
  LET'S GO SUPPORT THEM AND SHOW THEM THAT WE'RE A PART.
• 1:45:47
  IT WAS BRUTAL. THEY DIDN'T WANT IT.
• 1:45:52
  THEY WANTED THE CROWD, BUT THEY DIDN'T
• 1:45:55
  WANT TO STAND UP.
• 1:45:57
  I HAD ONE CHURCH WE WENT TO, BIG CHURCH.
• 1:46:01
  IF I SAID THE PASTOR'S NAME, YOU'D KNOW HIM.
• 1:46:05
  AND BEFORE I HAD HIM COME UP AND PRAY
• 1:46:08
  BEFORE THE EVENT STARTED.
• 1:46:11
  AND HE PRAYED AND HE GOES, "I JUST WANT EVERYONE
• 1:46:13
  TO UNDERSTAND, THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL RALLY.
• 1:46:17
  THIS IS A SERVICE."
• 1:46:19
  AND I'M IN THE BACK GOING, "KINDA IS, BUT OKAY."
• 1:46:26
  AT THE END OF THE THREE DAYS, HE CAME BACK UP.
• 1:46:28
  "THIS HAS BEEN A SERVICE, NOT A POLITICAL RALLY."
• 1:46:32
  I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
• 1:46:33
  AND DURING THE MESSAGE, DURING ONE OF THE
• 1:46:36
  SERVICES OR THE EVENTS DURING ONE OF THE
• 1:46:39
  NIGHTS, I SAID, I SAID, "IF YOUR PASTOR
• 1:46:43
  DID NOT CELEBRATE "THE SUNDAY AFTER ROE
• 1:46:46
  V. WADE WAS OVERTURNED, "YOU NEED TO FIND
• 1:46:48
  ANOTHER CHURCH."
• 1:46:49
  (CONGREGATION CHEERING)
• 1:46:59
  SOME OF OUR STAFF WERE SITTING NEXT
• 1:47:01
  TO SOME OF THE OTHER STAFF AND SAID, "WHOOP."
• 1:47:04
  THEY SAID, "WHAT?"
• 1:47:06
  WE DIDN'T DO IT.
• 1:47:12
  WE HAVE TO OVERCOME THE RESISTANCE.
• 1:47:13
  THAT'S NUMBER FIVE.
• 1:47:17
  WHEN DAVID WORSHIPED THE LORD WITHOUT HOLDING ANYTHING BACK,
• 1:47:21
  EVEN HIS OWN WIFE LOOKED DOWN ON HIM.
• 1:47:24
  2 SAMUEL 6:16, MICHAEL DESPISED HIM IN HER HEART.
• 1:47:30
  I KNOW, NOW HEAR WHAT I SAY THIS,
• 1:47:33
  NOBODY CAN HURT ME LIKE TERI CAN.
• 1:47:36
  NOBODY CAN HURT HER LIKE I CAN.
• 1:47:40
  BECAUSE WE ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP,
• 1:47:43
  OUR HEARTS ARE OPEN TO EACH OTHER.
• 1:47:45
  THAT MAKE SENSE?
• 1:47:47
  SO IF YOUR HEARTS ARE OPEN TO EACH OTHER,
• 1:47:50
  YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL HOW YOU STEWARD THAT RELATIONSHIP.
• 1:47:56
  THE ENEMY KNEW, RELIGION KNEW AND THE ENEMY KNEW.
• 1:48:02
  THIS WAS THE WAY TO GET A DAVID.
• 1:48:05
  SO, I DON'T WORSHIP THE SAME WAY TERI DOES.
• 1:48:10
  WE CALL IT THE SPLASH ZONE
• 1:48:13
  WHEN YOU SIT NEXT TO TERI DURING PRAISE AND WORSHIP.
• 1:48:16
  BECAUSE SHE MIGHT CATCH AN ELBOW OR...
• 1:48:22
  SHE'S MUCH MORE DEMONSTRATIVE THAN I AM.
• 1:48:25
  I'LL LEAVE IT THAT WAY.
• 1:48:26
  REMEMBER, I'M THE BACK ROW, SHE'S THE FRONT ROW.
• 1:48:29
  BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M RIGHT AND SHE'S WRONG.
• 1:48:33
  JUST LIKE YOU, YOU KNOW WHEN YOU STAND RIGHT HERE,
• 1:48:36
  THE AIR CONDITIONING GOES RIGHT UP THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD.
• 1:48:39
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:48:40
  BUT YOU DON'T, I'VE LEARNED, YOU DON'T WALK ANY FURTHER.
• 1:48:44
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:48:49
  IT IS SO HARD TO, SQUIRREL, ANYWAY.
• 1:48:52
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:48:55
  SAMUEL 6:16, "AS THE ARK OF THE LORD CAME INTO
• 1:48:57
  THE CITY OF DAVID, "MICHAEL, SAUL'S DAUGHTER
• 1:49:01
  LOOKED THROUGH A WINDOW, SAW KING DAVID LEAPING AND
• 1:49:04
  DANCING BEFORE THE LORD,
• 1:49:05
  AND SHE DESPISED HIM IN HER HEART."
• 1:49:07
  I'M THINKING DAVID PROBABLY WASN'T A VERY GOOD DANCER.
• 1:49:11
  BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS THE DANCE, IN ALL SERIOUSNESS.
• 1:49:14
  I THINK WHAT SHE SAW WAS UNASHAMED WORSHIP.
• 1:49:20
  WHEN WE UNDERSTAND THE HEART OF WORSHIP TO THE FATHER IS A TOTAL
• 1:49:25
  ABANDONMENT TO THAT WORSHIP,
• 1:49:28
  PEOPLE ARE GOING TO NOT LIKE YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE A, YOU'RE ABLE
• 1:49:35
  TO GET PAST YOUR OWN HEADSPACE TO WORSHIP GOD.
• 1:49:40
  AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND
• 1:49:44
  WHO WE ARE.
• 1:49:45
  BUT I LOVE DAVID'S RESPONSE IN 2 SAMUEL 6:21.
• 1:49:51
  DAVID SAID TO MICHAEL, "IT WAS BEFORE THE
• 1:49:53
  LORD AND WHO CHOSE ME BEFORE MY FATHER, BEFORE ALL HIS HOUSE."
• 1:49:57
  I THINK HE WAS DOING HIS THING.
• 1:50:00
  "APPOINT ME RULER OVER THE PEOPLE
• 1:50:03
  OF THE LORD, OVER ISRAEL.
• 1:50:05
  THEREFORE I WILL PLAY BEFORE THE LORD.
• 1:50:09
  I WILL BE YET MORE MILD THAN THIS AND WILL
• 1:50:12
  BE BASED IN MINE OWN SIGHT AND OF THE MAIDSERVANTS
• 1:50:15
  WHICH YOU'VE SPOKEN OF AND SHALL BE HAD IN HONOR.
• 1:50:19
  COME ON.
• 1:50:20
  THAT'S THE WAY WE NEED TO BE.
• 1:50:26
  IT DOESN'T SAY WHAT MICHAEL SAID.
• 1:50:30
  HE MAY COME OUT BLEEDING WITH ONE EYE.
• 1:50:32
  I DON'T KNOW.
• 1:50:34
  BUT THIS IS, IF WE COULD ALL GRASP THIS, YOU GUYS, IF WE
• 1:50:39
  COULD GET THIS, IF WE COULD GRASP THIS, THE PRESENCE OF GOD
• 1:50:44
  IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING WE DEAL WITH.
• 1:50:48
  CRITICS ARE NEVER GOING TO DISAPPEAR.
• 1:50:51
  ASK ME HOW I KNOW.
• 1:50:56
  WE ALWAYS MAKE ROOM FOR WHAT WE TREASURE. ALWAYS.
• 1:51:07
  SO, I'M ASKING YOU TO MAKE ROOM.
• 1:51:11
  DON'T GET INTO CONDEMNATION THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN DOING
• 1:51:14
  WHATEVER, BUT WE'VE GOT TO MAKE ROOM FOR GOD.
• 1:51:17
  WE'VE GOT TO MAKE ROOM FOR HIS PRESENCE IN OUR OWN LIFE.
• 1:51:20
  AND I'M JUST, IT'S JUST LIKE WHEN WE STARTED THE SERVICE,
• 1:51:26
  AND WE HAD THIS MOMENT, AND IF THERE'S ANY MUSICIANS
• 1:51:30
  BACK THERE, YOU CAN COME ON OUT.
• 1:51:34
  WE STARTED THE, WE STARTED, THE GUY, THEY WERE SINGING,
• 1:51:37
  AND I CAME OUT AND SAID, "COME FILL THE ALTAR."
• 1:51:39
  MOVEMENT AFFECTS PRESENCE.
• 1:51:43
  MOVEMENT BRINGS HOLY SPIRIT INTO THE ROOM.
• 1:51:46
  THIS IS WHY SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO RUN AND DO THEIR MORNING,
• 1:51:50
  YOU KNOW, DEVOTIONS.
• 1:51:51
  WHY? I DON'T KNOW.
• 1:51:53
  BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.
• 1:51:55
  WHEN YOU MOVE, GOD GETS, WHEN YOU TAKE A STEP TOWARDS GOD,
• 1:51:59
  THIS IS WHY, YOU REMEMBER BACK WHEN PEOPLE USED TO GET SAVED?
• 1:52:05
  I'M KIDDING, PEOPLE GET SAVED.
• 1:52:07
  BUT WHEN THEY WOULD SAY, "GET UP OUT OF YOUR SEAT
• 1:52:08
  AND WALK DOWN TO THE ALTAR."
• 1:52:10
  I THINK WE MISSED, I KNOW WE MISSED SOMETHING
• 1:52:12
  AND WHEN WE STOP SAYING, "GET UP OUT OF YOUR SEAT,"
• 1:52:15
  LIKE BILLY GRAHAM SAID, BECAUSE IT'S AN ACT OF THE FLESH,
• 1:52:19
  ACT OF YOUR BODY TO GET UP AND MOVE DOWN AND GO,
• 1:52:22
  "YEAH, I'M GONNA MAKE A DECISION.
• 1:52:24
  "I'M GONNA BE THAT PERSON THAT SAYS,
• 1:52:27
  "I'M GOING TO GIVE MY HEART TO GOD
• 1:52:29
  IN FRONT OF ALL THESE PEOPLE.
• 1:52:31
  "I'M GONNA BE THAT PERSON THAT SAYS,
• 1:52:33
  "I'M GOING TO MAKE, YOU DROP YOUR GUN
• 1:52:36
  BACK THERE AGAIN."
• 1:52:37
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:52:40
  I'M GOING TO,
• 1:52:42
  IT'S SO HARD TO GET THROUGH A MESSAGE.
• 1:52:44
  (CONGREGATION LAUGHING)
• 1:52:45
  Y'ALL OUGHT TO TRY THIS, IT'S NOT EASY. ANYWAY.
• 1:52:54
  I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I WAS.
• 1:52:56
  THANKS A LOT, D.
• 1:53:02
  THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
• 1:53:05
  LET'S DON'T LET IT LIE.
• 1:53:08
  LET'S DON'T JUST TAKE A BACK SEAT.
• 1:53:10
  LET'S UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD'S GIVEN US BECAUSE IF ONE WE DO,
• 1:53:14
  THAT IS WHAT'S GOING TO TAKE
• 1:53:18
  YOUR LIFE TO THE NEXT PLACE, YOUR VISION TO THE NEXT LEVEL,
• 1:53:22
  YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
• 1:53:25
  I'M TELLING YOU, THIS IS WHAT CHANGES.
• 1:53:30
  TERI LOVES ME MORE WHEN I'VE BEEN WITH GOD.
• 1:53:36
  AND I'M TELLING YOU, THIS WILL AFFECT YOUR, THIS WILL AFFECT
• 1:53:40
  YOU. THIS WILL AFFECT YOUR LIFE.
• 1:53:42
  AND THEN IN THIS DAY AND AGE, THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO
• 1:53:45
  HAVE. WE MUST HAVE, IF WE'RE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH.
• 1:53:50
  I WAS AT CHURCH I USED TO WORK FOR, AND
• 1:53:55
  PEOPLE WERE SAYING HOW THEY WANT REVIVAL AND HOW THEY WANT,
• 1:54:00
  WE GOT TO BELIEVE FOR REVIVAL, WANT REVIVAL.
• 1:54:03
  AND I SAID, DO YOU REALIZE THAT WHEN THE
• 1:54:06
  PASTOR GETS UP THIS SUNDAY, IF EVERYBODY IN THIS
• 1:54:10
  CHURCH STARTED PRAISING AND WORSHIPING GOD AND HE
• 1:54:14
  DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK,
• 1:54:18
  YOU'D HAVE A MOVE OF GOD.
• 1:54:22
  AND I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN.
• 1:54:24
  AND LISTEN, I KNOW PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA KUNNEMAN,
• 1:54:28
  THAT'S WHAT, THEY WANT THAT AS MUCH AS YOU DO.
• 1:54:33
  SO I DARE YOU, START LIVING YOUR PRAISE
• 1:54:37
  AND YOUR WORSHIP OUT LOUD, YOUR PRESENCE OF GOD-MINDEDNESS.
• 1:54:42
  I LIKE WHAT BILL JOHNSON SAID, AND I'VE QUOTED IT A LOT.
• 1:54:45
  HE TALKED ABOUT HOW, YOU KNOW, WHEN JESUS WAS BAPTIZED
• 1:54:52
  BY JOHN THE BAPTIST, THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME DOWN
• 1:54:54
  AND RESTED LIKE A DOVE
• 1:54:57
  ON HIS SHOULDER, OR RESTED ON HIS SHOULDER,
• 1:55:00
  DEPENDING ON WHICH TRANSLATION YOU READ.
• 1:55:03
  SO HOW WOULD YOU WALK IF A WILD ANIMAL,
• 1:55:08
  A DOVE THAT WAS IN THE WILD, CAME AND LANDED
• 1:55:10
  ON YOUR SHOULDER, AND YOU HAD TO WALK FROM HERE TO THERE?
• 1:55:15
  YOU WOULD WALK VERY CAREFULLY, RIGHT?
• 1:55:19
  NO SUDDEN MOVEMENTS, YOU WOULD WANT TO DO
• 1:55:21
  WHATEVER YOU COULD TO KEEP THAT RIGHT THERE, TO KEEP THAT BIRD
• 1:55:25
  RIGHT THERE ON YOUR SHOULDER.
• 1:55:27
  IF WE UNDERSTAND THE PRESENCE OF GOD IS LIKE THAT.
• 1:55:31
  THE PERSON THAT I LEARNED THIS THE MOST
• 1:55:35
  FROM, I WORKED FOR FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS, WAS BENNY HINN.
• 1:55:40
  AND PASTOR BENNY WAS ONE OF THE,
• 1:55:43
  I THINK ONE OF THE BEST WORSHIP LEADERS OUT THERE.
• 1:55:48
  BECAUSE HE KNEW HOW TO TAKE AN AUDIENCE,
• 1:55:50
  NO MATTER HOW BIG, AND STAY WITH PRAISE AND WORSHIP
• 1:55:53
  UNTIL THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVED.
• 1:55:57
  IF WE CAN UNDERSTAND, BUT HE WAS ALSO VERY CAREFUL
• 1:56:02
  WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT PRESENCE.
• 1:56:05
  AND HE'D CALL YOU OUT IF YOU MADE TOO MUCH NOISE.
• 1:56:11
  WE NEED TO GET BACK TO SOME OF THAT AND UNDERSTAND
• 1:56:14
  THE PRESENCE OF GOD IS THE THING THAT MAKES US
• 1:56:18
  DIFFERENT. NO MUSLIM HAS THE PRESENCE OF GOD RESTING ON THEIR
• 1:56:26
  SHOULDER. NO HINDU HAS THAT.
• 1:56:29
  I'M TELLING YOU, YOU GUYS HAVE THE ANSWER.
• 1:56:33
  THE QUESTION IS, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH IT?
• 1:56:35
  ARE YOU GONNA EMBRACE THE PRESENCE OF GOD?
• 1:56:41
  ARE YOU GONNA LET IT JUST GO AND JUST KIND OF COAST INTO
• 1:56:44
  CHURCH AND OUT OF CHURCH?
• 1:56:46
  DON'T DO THAT, PLEASE DON'T.
• 1:56:49
  WE NEED YOU IN THIS BATTLE.
• 1:56:51
  WE NEED YOU, YOUR FAMILY NEEDS YOU,
• 1:56:53
  YOUR WIFE NEEDS YOU, YOUR HUSBAND NEEDS YOU,
• 1:56:56
  YOUR KIDS NEED YOU, THEY'RE WATCHING.
• 1:57:00
  WE'VE GOT TO MAKE A CHANGE AND GET BACK TO THE BASICS.
• 1:57:05
  AMEN. WELL, STAND TO YOUR FEET.
• 1:57:08
  I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO PASTOR DOUG HERE IN JUST A MOMENT,
• 1:57:11
  BUT I WANNA PRAY WITH YOU.
• 1:57:14
  IF THIS IS YOU AND THIS HAS MEANT SOMETHING TO YOU,
• 1:57:19
  WHAT WE'VE SAID TODAY, AND YOU UNDERSTAND
• 1:57:22
  WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, GO AHEAD AND JUST PUT
• 1:57:24
  YOUR HAND TO HEAVEN.
• 1:57:25
  AND SAY, GOD, I WANT TO RECEIVE AND I WANT TO BE IN
• 1:57:29
  YOUR PRESENCE MORE
• 1:57:31
  THAN I WAS THIS MORNING, MORE THAN YESTERDAY.
• 1:57:35
  SHOW ME YOUR GLORY.
• 1:57:38
  FATHER, I ASK YOU, EACH PERSON HERE,
• 1:57:40
  WHETHER THEY'RE IN THE ROOM OR WATCHING BY TELEVISION
• 1:57:44
  OR THE INTERNET STREAMING,
• 1:57:47
  MAKE YOURSELF REAL TO THEM.
• 1:57:49
  SHOW THEM YOUR GLORY, FATHER.
• 1:57:51
  LET THEM SEE WHO YOU ARE.
• 1:57:53
  AND HELP US AS BELIEVERS TO SHAKE OFF THE
• 1:57:57
  DISTRACTIONS. SHAKE OFF THE CRITICISM.
• 1:58:01
  SHAKE OFF ALL THE THINGS THAT SO EASILY
• 1:58:04
  BESET US.
• 1:58:05
  AND LET US RUN THIS RACE, THE MARK FOR THE
• 1:58:08
  PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING.
• 1:58:10
  FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR THIS CHURCH.
• 1:58:13
  I THANK YOU FOR PASTOR HANK AND BRENDA.
• 1:58:16
  ALL THE STAFF, I ASK YOU TO BLESS THEM, THEIR COMINGS AND
• 1:58:22
  THEIR GOINGS, WHERE THEY WALK, WHERE THEY RUN, THEIR
• 1:58:26
  CONVERSATIONS, THEIR FAMILIES.
• 1:58:29
  FATHER, THAT WE WILL BE A CHURCH THAT DOES NOT BOW, THAT DOES
• 1:58:35
  NOT BEND, BUT STANDS STRONG FOR YOU IN THESE COMING DAYS.
• 1:58:40
  IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
• 1:58:43
  PASTOR DOUG.
• 1:58:47
  AMEN. YES, LET'S GIVE DR. GENE BAILEY AND TERI A BIG HAND.
• 1:58:52
  WE'RE SO BLESSED BY THEIR MINISTRY TODAY.
• 1:58:57
  HOW MANY OF YOU ARE BLESSED BY THAT MESSAGE?
• 1:59:00
  THIS MAKES YOU WANT TO PRESS IN MORE.
• 1:59:02
  AMEN. PRAISE GOD.
• 1:59:05
  YOU CAN BE SEATED FOR JUST A MOMENT.
• 1:59:08
  IF THE USHERS WOULD COME AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE
• 1:59:12
  WANT TO RECEIVE AN OFFERING FOR OUR GUESTS TODAY.
• 1:59:14
  WE WANT THEM TO LEAVE BLESSED, AND YOU
• 1:59:16
  GET ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE AND ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY
• 1:59:19
  TO BE BLESSED BY DOING THIS.
• 1:59:21
  YOU KNOW, 2 TIMOTHY, I THINK, OR IS IT, MAYBE IT'S 1 TIMOTHY,
• 1:59:25
  I HAVE TO REMEMBER THIS, 517, I THINK IT'S 1 TIMOTHY, NOW
• 1:59:29
  THAT I'M GETTING IT.
• 1:59:31
  LET THE ELDERS WHO RULE WELL BE COUNTED
• 1:59:33
  WORTHY OF DOUBLE HONOR, AND THAT WORD HONOR REALLY MEANS
• 1:59:37
  MONEY, AND IT IS 1 TIMOTHY 517, RIGHT, WE GOT IT.
• 1:59:40
  SO, AND IT SAYS ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT
• 1:59:43
  LABOR IN THE WORD AND DOCTRINE.
• 1:59:45
  AND HE GAVE US A GOOD WORD TODAY AND WE NEED TO HONOR
• 1:59:48
  THAT AND AS YOU GIVE TODAY, GIVE OUT OF ABUNDANCE SO THAT WE CAN
• 1:59:54
  SEND THEM HOME BLESSED.
• 1:59:56
  THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO GIVE, AGAIN
• 1:59:58
  ON THE SCREEN IN THE DROP DOWN, IF YOU'RE GIVING ONLINE
• 2:00:01
  OR THROUGH THE APP IS THE CONFERENCE GUEST
• 2:00:06
  SPEAKER CATEGORY.
• 2:00:08
  IF YOU'RE GIVING THAT WAY, JUST MARK IT AS A CONFERENCE
• 2:00:10
  OR GUEST SPEAKER CATEGORY, AND THEN WE'LL BLESS
• 2:00:15
  GENE AND TERI AS THEY LEAVE TODAY.
• 2:00:17
  AND I THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.
• 2:00:20
  AND I'LL LET THE USHERS GO AHEAD AND SERVE YOU NOW.
• 2:00:22
  IF YOU'RE ONLINE, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND DO THAT.
• 2:00:24
  APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.
• 2:00:27
  AND I'M JUST GONNA HAVE THE ALTAR TEAM POP UP HERE
• 2:00:30
  AS SOON AS YOU CAN, AS SOON AS YOU GET YOUR GIVING DONE,
• 2:00:32
  JUST COME ON UP.
• 2:00:35
  YOU KNOW, DR. GENE'S MESSAGE TODAY
• 2:00:41
  WAS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING, AND REALLY TALKING ABOUT THE
• 2:00:45
  PRESENCE OF GOD IN OUR LIVES.
• 2:00:47
  BUT THE STARTING POINT TO THAT
• 2:00:51
  IS THAT RELATIONSHIP THAT YOU HAVE WITH JESUS CHRIST.
• 2:00:56
  AND MAYBE YOU'RE HERE TODAY, AND YOU KNOW ABOUT GOD,
• 2:01:01
  YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT GOD ALL YOUR LIFE,
• 2:01:03
  OR YOU'RE AWARE THAT THERE IS A GOD, YOU BELIEVE
• 2:01:05
  THAT THERE IS A GOD.
• 2:01:06
  YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS THE DEVIL ACTUALLY BELIEVES
• 2:01:09
  THAT THERE IS A GOD.
• 2:01:13
  THE DEVIL BELIEVES IN GOD.
• 2:01:15
  HE KNOWS THAT GOD EXISTS.
• 2:01:17
  HE KNOWS HIS END IS COMING.
• 2:01:20
  BUT THE THING IS, BELIEVING THAT THERE IS A GOD IS
• 2:01:23
  DIFFERENT THAN HAVING A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP.
• 2:01:26
  AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE TODAY AND
• 2:01:31
  YOU'RE NOT 100% SURE THAT YOU HAVE THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH
• 2:01:35
  JESUS CHRIST, THAT'S WHERE IT STARTS.
• 2:01:37
  YOU CAN'T ENCOUNTER THE PRESENCE OF GOD UNTIL
• 2:01:40
  YOU HAVE THAT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS.
• 2:01:44
  HE CAME AS THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR OUR SIN.
• 2:01:47
  WE'VE ALL SINNED, THE BIBLE SAYS,
• 2:01:49
  AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD, BUT HE IS OUR REDEEMER.
• 2:01:53
  HE WENT TO THE CROSS OF CALVARY AND DIED FOR US.
• 2:01:56
  AND AS HE WAS ON THAT CROSS, ONE
• 2:01:59
  HAND WAS REACHING TOWARDS GOD AND THE OTHER HAND WAS REACHING
• 2:02:03
  TOWARDS YOU AND I, MANKIND, SO THAT WE COULD BE REDEEMED AND
• 2:02:08
  SAVED AND HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN.
• 2:02:11
  THE OTHER OPTION TO THAT IS YOU IGNORE THIS,
• 2:02:13
  YOU JUST BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A GOD, YOU GO THROUGH LIFE
• 2:02:17
  NOT HAVING THAT RELATIONSHIP
• 2:02:21
  AND REJECT CHRIST AND YOU END UP IN ETERNAL LAKE OF FIRE.
• 2:02:28
  THAT'S THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN
• 2:02:30
  TO ANY MAN OR WOMAN.
• 2:02:32
  I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE LISTENING
• 2:02:34
  TO ME TODAY OR ANYONE HERE.
• 2:02:36
  SO I'M GONNA GIVE YOU AN INVITATION TODAY.
• 2:02:38
  IF YOU'RE HERE TODAY AND YOU NEED JESUS CHRIST IN YOUR LIFE,
• 2:02:41
  YOU NEED TO MAKE A RELATIONSHIP, OR MAYBE YOU'VE STRAYED.
• 2:02:46
  AT ONE TIME YOU KNEW GOD, BUT YOU'VE STRAYED.
• 2:02:49
  YOU'VE GOTTEN OFF TRACK.
• 2:02:50
  THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO GET BACK IN ALIGNMENT WITH GOD.
• 2:02:54
  THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO OPEN THE DOOR TO HIS GRACE AND MERCY
• 2:02:59
  AND SAY, "GOD, I DON'T WANT TO END UP IN HELL.
• 2:03:01
  I DON'T WANT TO END UP IN THE LAKE OF FIRE.
• 2:03:04
  I WANT TO BE WITH YOU FOR ETERNITY.
• 2:03:06
  AND THEN I WANT TO SERVE YOU WHILE I'M ON THIS EARTH.
• 2:03:10
  I WANT TO SERVE YOU AND FOLLOW YOUR PLAN FOR ME,
• 2:03:14
  BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE A GREAT PLAN.
• 2:03:15
  THE BIBLE SAYS THERE'S A GREAT PLAN FOR EVERY ONE OF US.
• 2:03:18
  THERE'S THINGS THAT EACH OF US HAVE TO ACCOMPLISH.
• 2:03:20
  I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO BOW YOUR HEADS WITH ME, IF YOU WOULD,
• 2:03:23
  JUST FOR A MOMENT TONIGHT OR TODAY.
• 2:03:25
  I WON'T KEEP YOU LONG.
• 2:03:27
  AND I WANT TO ASK YOU TO SEARCH YOUR HEART
• 2:03:29
  AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
• 2:03:32
  ASK YOURSELF A QUESTION.
• 2:03:35
  IF I WAS TO LEAVE THIS EARTH AND MOVE ON INTO ETERNITY,
• 2:03:38
  DO I KNOW THAT I HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS?
• 2:03:42
  AM I 100% SURE THAT HE WOULD SAY, WELL DONE,
• 2:03:45
  THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT, ENTER IN TO THE JOY OF THE LORD?
• 2:03:51
  WOULD HE SAY THAT TO YOU?
• 2:03:54
  WHAT WOULD YOUR ANSWER BE IF HE SAID,
• 2:03:56
  WHY SHOULD I LET YOU INTO MY HEAVEN?
• 2:03:59
  IT COULDN'T BE GOOD WORKS.
• 2:04:00
  IT COULDN'T BE THAT YOU WENT TO CHURCH.
• 2:04:02
  IT COULDN'T BE THAT YOU SHOOK THE PASTOR'S HAND.
• 2:04:05
  IT COULDN'T BE THAT YOU DIDN'T ROB A BANK OR SUCH AND SUCH.
• 2:04:10
  IT'S ONLY THE BLOOD OF JESUS THAT SAVES US.
• 2:04:13
  SO WHEN I COUNT TO THREE TODAY, I'M
• 2:04:15
  GOING TO ASK YOU IF YOU NEED JESUS,
• 2:04:17
  IF YOU WANT TO COME BACK TO HIM, IF YOU
• 2:04:18
  WANT TO COME TO HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME,
• 2:04:21
  I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU DO SOMETHING VERY BOLD.
• 2:04:23
  I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU RAISE YOUR HAND WHEN I COUNT TO THREE
• 2:04:26
  AND SAY, "I WANT JESUS," AND THEN I'LL PRAY FOR YOU,
• 2:04:29
  AND YOU'LL GET IT RIGHT TODAY BEFORE YOU LEAVE.
• 2:04:32
  ONE, TWO, THREE.
• 2:04:35
  RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU NEED JESUS TODAY,
• 2:04:37
  OR YOU WANT TO COME BACK TO HIM.
• 2:04:39
  WHO IN THIS PLACE NEEDS THE LORD?
• 2:04:42
  GET YOUR HAND UP.
• 2:04:43
  IS THERE A HAND UP HERE IN THE STADIUM?
• 2:04:45
  IF YOU'RE RAISING YOUR HAND, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU, SIR,
• 2:04:48
  JUST TO STAND UP QUICKLY.
• 2:04:50
  STAND UP RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE AT.
• 2:04:51
  I SAW THAT HAND.
• 2:04:52
  I WON'T EMBARRASS YOU TODAY, BUT I WANT YOU TO BE INVOLVED
• 2:04:55
  IN THIS PRAYER.
• 2:04:56
  IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PRAYER THAT YOU'LL EVER PRAY.
• 2:04:59
  AND WOULD YOU PLEASE STEP OUT OF YOUR SEAT
• 2:05:01
  AND JUST COME RIGHT DOWN HERE TO ME?
• 2:05:03
  GIVE HIM A HAND AS HE COMES.
• 2:05:05
  [APPLAUSE]
• 2:05:08
  THANK YOU, SIR.
• 2:05:09
  I BELIEVE THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE THAT NEEDS THAT.
• 2:05:11
  THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE IN THIS PLACE.
• 2:05:13
  AND YOU SAY, I NEED JESUS.
• 2:05:16
  COME JOIN THIS YOUNG MAN.
• 2:05:19
  I'M GIVING YOU ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.
• 2:05:21
  EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T RAISE YOUR HAND, STEP OUT OF YOUR SEAT
• 2:05:23
  AND COME DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW.
• 2:05:27
  HE'S MAKING THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION
• 2:05:29
  THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL CAN MAKE.
• 2:05:32
  [APPLAUSE]
• 2:05:35
  THANK YOU, SIR.
• 2:05:36
  WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
• 2:05:37
  CHRISTIAN. CHRISTIAN?
• 2:05:38
  THAT'S A GOOD NAME.
• 2:05:38
  OH, I MET YOU BEFORE.
• 2:05:40
  YOU'RE HERE FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
• 2:05:44
  FIRST TIME AND YOU CAME JUST, WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?
• 2:05:48
  FIRST OF APRIL YOU CAME FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
• 2:05:52
  AND I'M SURE YOUR FAMILY WENT THROUGH A LOT OF TORMENT,
• 2:05:55
  BUT YOU'RE HERE NOW AND YOU'RE SERVING GOD.
• 2:05:58
  AND THIS IS GONNA BE A DAY THAT'LL CHANGE YOUR LIFE
• 2:06:00
  BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA MAKE JESUS CHRIST
• 2:06:02
  THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE.
• 2:06:04
  JUST FACE ME, 'CAUSE I'M GONNA TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE.
• 2:06:07
  WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO, CHRISTIAN,
• 2:06:08
  IS JUST PRAY AND PRAY THIS PRAYER.
• 2:06:10
  YOU CAN REPEAT AFTER ME AS I PRAY.
• 2:06:13
  AND WHEN I DO THAT, YOU MAY NOT FEEL ANYTHING,
• 2:06:16
  BUT JESUS CHRIST IS GONNA BECOME THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE,
• 2:06:18
  AND YOU'RE GONNA SERVE HIM ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.
• 2:06:22
  AND WHEN YOU LAY YOUR HEAD ON YOUR PILLOW TONIGHT,
• 2:06:25
  YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO THINK ABOUT GOING TO HELL
• 2:06:27
  WHENEVER YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH.
• 2:06:28
  YOU'RE GONNA BE IN HEAVEN WITH JESUS.
• 2:06:30
  YOU JUST KEEP FOLLOWING HIM.
• 2:06:32
  IT'LL SECURE YOUR SALVATION, AND HE'S GOT A
• 2:06:35
  WONDERFUL PLAN FOR YOU.
• 2:06:36
  AND I CAN SEE RIGHT NOW LOOKING INTO YOUR EYES,
• 2:06:38
  HE'S GOT A CALL IN YOUR LIFE, AND YOU'RE GONNA DO
• 2:06:40
  GREAT THINGS FOR GOD.
• 2:06:41
  YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE HIS PLAN OPEN TO YOU.
• 2:06:44
  YOU'RE HERE FOR A PURPOSE.
• 2:06:46
  GOD CALLS YOU HERE FOR A PURPOSE.
• 2:06:48
  YOU'RE IN THE UNITED STATES FOR A PURPOSE.
• 2:06:49
  YOU'RE GONNA BE A GREAT WITNESS FOR HIM.
• 2:06:51
  SO LET'S PRAY.
• 2:06:52
  YOU FOLLOW ME AND REPEAT AFTER ME,
• 2:06:54
  AND WE'RE GONNA TAKE CARE OF THIS TODAY.
• 2:06:56
  YOU PRAY.
• 2:06:57
  FATHER IN HEAVEN.
• 2:06:57
  FATHER IN HEAVEN.
• 2:06:58
  THANK YOU.
• 2:07:00
  FOR SENDING JESUS.
• 2:07:01
  FOR SENDING JESUS.
• 2:07:02
  I BELIEVE.
• 2:07:03
  I BELIEVE.
• 2:07:03
  JESUS.
• 2:07:05
  WENT TO THE CROSS OF CALVARY.
• 2:07:07
  HE DIED FOR ME.
• 2:07:09
  THE BIBLE SAID HE WAS BURIED, AND HE ROSE AGAIN FROM
• 2:07:15
  THE DEAD ON THE THIRD DAY.
• 2:07:17
  I BELIEVE THAT.
• 2:07:20
  FATHER, FORGIVE ME FOR ANY SIN IN MY LIFE.
• 2:07:25
  I INVITE JESUS TO BE THE LORD OF MY LIFE,
• 2:07:30
  AND I WILL SERVE HIM THE REMAINING DAYS
• 2:07:34
  THAT I HAVE ON THIS EARTH.
• 2:07:36
  IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY, AMEN.
• 2:07:39
  AND CHRISTIAN, BECAUSE YOU PRAYED THAT,
• 2:07:41
  YOU'VE GOT A GREAT START NOW.
