  Speaker 1: I want you to go to the Gospel of Saint Matthew,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: chapter twenty one, verse two through nine, a very predictable
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and practical text, considering that we have just stepped into
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Holy Week, and it is introduced to us through a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: rite in a memorial of Palem, what we call Palm Sunday.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: And I always preach occasional messages, but indulge me this morning,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and I share with you the oracles of God. I
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: have found that the flowers shall fade and the grass
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: with a but the word of the Lord.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Shall stand forever. When you have it, say man.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Saying unto them, go into the village over against you,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and straightway he should find an ass tied and a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: colt with her. Loose them and bring them unto me.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And if any man say aught unto you, you shall say,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the Lord have need of them, and straightway he will
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: send them. All. This was done careful, now that it
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet saying,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: tell ye the daughters of Sion, and behold thy thing
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: cometh unto thee meek, And sitting upon an ass and
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: a colt the foal of an ass and the disciples
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: went and did as Jesus commanded them, and brought the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: ass and the colt, and put on them their clothes.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: And they sat him thereon, and a very great multitude
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: spread their garments in the way. Others cut down branches
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: from the trees and strewed them in the path, And
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the multitudes that went before and that followed crying, saying
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Hadana to the son of David, bless it is he
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that cometh in the name of the Lord Halana.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: In the highest.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Can you say, men, I want to use an odd subject,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: but hopefully before I finish, I'll weave it together in
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: some symmetrical ideology that helps you to understand the profundity
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of what I'm about to say. I want to talk
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: about trusting beyond knowledge, or trusting beyond knowing. It's one
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: thing to know, and it's another thing to trust. Jesus
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: told Thomas, you have believed because you have seen. But
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: blessed are they who have not seen, and yet they believe.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Spirit of the Living God full of fresh on us.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: As we open up the book and delve into your word,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I thank you. I thank you for what you're about
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to do. I thank you for your presence and your
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: glory and your impact and your naughty and I invite
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: your presidence to have your way in this place in
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a supernatural way. In the name of Jesus, we pray Amen,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you may be seated now, much to your surprise. The
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: early Church, the Apostles, Peter James, John Paul, Bartholomew, Thomas
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Matthew knew nothing of Palm Sunday. It was not a holiday.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It was not something that was commemorating every year. It
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: was four centuries after Jesus had departed before we begin
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to recognize this as a day of memorial to commemorate
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: what the traditional Jews understood as to be a messianic
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: sign of the coming of the Son of David. Their
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: king is coming, and for them, on a very practical level,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that meant that their oppressor was defeated. And you must
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: understand that we are all looking at the same scene,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: but we are seeing it from different perspectives. It's amazing
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: how a group of people can get excited about the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: same thing but have different points of view. They'd always
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: understand what is at state, but the disciples did. Because
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: people who walk really close with a leader are privy
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to information that other people don't have. They know sometimes when,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: for instance, I'm preaching as we travel across the country,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: they know when I'm jet lag, they know when I'm sick,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: they know when things aren't going good, they know when
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I'm worried about. Some of the audience doesn't know it,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: but the people who are closest to you really get
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to know you, and in some way they become a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: kind of family. Several years ago, I went to Whitney
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Houston's funeral and I was moved by her mother and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: her daughter who was living at the time, and their
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: remarks and all the things that people said, her aunt,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: who presided over different aspects of it. All of it
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: was touching. But when her band stood up and started talking,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I found it difficult to hold back my tears because
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I know what it is to travel with somebody, and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: when you travel all over the world, you become a
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: bit of a fan. You've seen him in good times.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: You've been on the road when a loved one died.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You've been on the road when somebody got sick, you
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: been on the road when they got in trouble.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I never will forget.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: We were in Nigeria and Antar got sick and they
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: told me to go ahead and fly home, And I said,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: are you crazy? I'm not leaving Antari and Nigeria sick
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: with malaria hop on a plane and they thought he
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: had Malariy didn't better hop on a plane and leave
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: him behind.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I'm an old school. If he and not going, I'm
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: not going.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: So we might as well settle down, Get an extra night,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: get an extra three nights, whatever we got to do,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: because we're in it together. We've been in deserts, We've
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: been in dry places. We've been in places where there
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: were no bathrooms. We've been in places where there was
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: no food. We've been in places where we got sick.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: There's been times I've got sick and he had to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: nurse me back to health. There was one time I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: was in a hotel, had fallen out on the floor.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: He came in and got me up off the floor
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and treated me till I got better. And you think
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave him and not Jered, You must be
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: out of your man.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Are you trimping?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I'm never as happy when i'm preaching when I have
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Marcus on the organ, because Marcus has been playing for
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: me since I'm seventeen. Years old. Since he was seventeen
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: years old. I wasn't seventeen. When I was seventeen, I'm
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: not sure he was born, but he was seventeen years old.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: And he don't even have to look at me.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: He knows my body language, he knows my movements, he
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: knows everything about men. I don't have to explain nothing
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to him. It's powerful. When you travel with people, a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: special bond erupts out of that and a closeness that
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: comes out of that situation. And so when we step
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: into this particular text, the disciples are not feeling what
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the crowd out is feeling because they are privative information
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that Jesus is going to Jerusalem to die, and Thomas
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: has said I must go and tie with him. So
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the palpable feeling of anxiety was exactly that. It was palpable,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: It was tangible, it was real amongst the disciples because
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: they didn't know how the story was going in. Have
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: you ever gotten into something you don't know for sure
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: how the story's going to end, and there's a certain
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: ominist feeling hanging over your head because you got a
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: feeling this is not going to be a happy ending.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: My mother when she was down at Alzheim, and she
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: was trying to prepare me for the depth. She said,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: every story don't have no happy ending, and I knew
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: what that meant. I tried to ang like I didn't
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: know what it meant, but I knew what it meant.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: She was trying to prepare me. They were going to Jerusalem.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Jesus had set his face to go to Jerusalem. There
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: was no stopping him, even though he knew that to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: go to Jerusalem was to sign a death sentence. And
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the Disciphers were going along loyally. They've been with him
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: everywhere else. They've been with him in every other situation.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: They had been with him with the woman with issue blood.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: They had been with him as Lazarus was raised from
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the dead. They had been with him as the man
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: with the with a hand stretched forth his hand and
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: got here. They had been with him when he ran
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: through the corn fields and they ate of the corn fields.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: They had been with him when the Pharisees tried to
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: trap him and he eluded their trap. They had been
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: with him in every situation, in every circumstance. They've been
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: with him when he took the two Fish and five
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: loaves of bread and fed five thousand. They had been
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: with him when he walked out on the water in
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the middle of the night and came walking to him,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and they thought he.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Was a ghost.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: They had been with and when he told them to
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: go down there and pay the taxes out of the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: fish's mouth. They had been with him in every situation,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and it would have been a bit a fairious to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: walk away now. But the real test of discipleship is
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: not walking with somebody when they're performing miracles. The real
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: test of real disciples is to walk with them when
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: they walk through the valley of the Shadow of Death.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: To go through the garden to get Simone and hang
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: out with them and watch them sweat drops of blood
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: is proof of being a real disciple. I'm not impressed
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: with people who want to follow me up on the mountain.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I'm impressed with people who hang with you in the valley.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Am I talking in the right place? So the disciples
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: are on the edge, so it's they near going to
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the place of Jerusalem and starting the Holy wad. They
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: run in the blind bottle of Mass. And the reason
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: that side believe that the disciples snap at blind Bottle
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Mass because they didn't have time for it, and everybody
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: in here, I don't care how save you are. There
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: are times, I mean, if you catch me at the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: right time, you get Jesus. But if you catch me
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: on the wrong day and I ain't got time for it,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that fool.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: He said, Shop.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: We through healing people. We got problems. We didn't come
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to Jerusal to heal no blind people. We might die here.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Shot up.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Master sent him away. He crieth after us. That's a
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: stress they're carring. That's a stress they're carry because they
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: are going to Jerusalem to die. And there he is,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: in this situation, and in the middle of this situation
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: he exhibits throughout the week a threefold deity, an operation
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: of deity, prophet, priest and king. He is priest enough
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: to serve the Last Supper, the sacraments of the pastor.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: He is priest enough to do that. He is profit enough.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: To look into another city that he's not in and says,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: there's an.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Ass and a colt tied up.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Both. I get out when I get to that part,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: because I have to figure that if God knows where
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: a donkey is, then I don't have to get out
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: on my knees and explain to.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Him where I'm at.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Jesus was aware of a colt and it's fole tied up.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: He knew exactly where it was tied up.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: He said, go get him.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: God ain't making this thing up as he goes. He
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: had a cat, that ass and that colt tied up
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: for years waiting on the right time. I want to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: take him minute and talk to somebody who's been tied up.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: God has not forgotten you. He will tie you up
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: until the time is right. I don't care how many
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: people go ahead of you. When it's your time, it's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: your time. And when God gets ready to pull you,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: he'll pull you out. He knows exactly where you are,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: He knows exactly what you got tied up. And the
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: tie is as much God as the calling is that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: when God gets ready to loose you and let you go,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: no devil in hell can hold you back. Listen and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: let him go. He is priests enough to serve the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: first communion, previously a passover, now a communion. He is
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: profit enough to be aware of the donkey and its baby.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Good God, every little voice in you that says that
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: God doesn't understand.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Just got a.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Whipping, because you know, if God knows where an animal is,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: if his eye is on the sparrow, if the hair
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: on your head is numbered. All that stuff you're doing
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: trying to explain to God your situation, as if you
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: needed to educate him is away of spit and win.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: God knows exactly where you are. And if you don't
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: praise Him when you get loose, you got to praise
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: him while you're tied up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I want the folks that's tied up to praise the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Lord because the truth of the matter, the rope isn't
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: holding me. My divine purpose is. And when it's time
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: for me and the stage is said, Hell can't make
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: a rope that can hold me back. When God gets
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: tready to loose me, he'll loose me. I ain't worried
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: about you putting your foot on me, because he'll break
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: your foot before you can hold me down. If he
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: wants me up, you ain't strong enough.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: To hold me down. Then a don a foel.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Tied up in the next village, and Prophet Jesus knew
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: where there was and Prophet Jesus knew what posts they
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: were tied to, and Prophet Jesus knew what rope was
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: around that day, and Prophet Jesus knew exactly what village
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: they were in. And he's going to die, and he's
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: thinking about animals. If he's singing about animals while he's dying,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: then while he's resurrected, I can surely believe he's thinking
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: about me. Look at you, Naven, Tell them God is
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: singing about you. What is man that thou art mightn't
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: for him? Or the son of Man that thou visited him?
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: For you have made him a little lower than the angels,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and yet you've crowned him with honor and glory. But
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I think of the fact that God's mind is full
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of me, and before the week is out, they will
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: put a crown or throwing upon his head and mockingly
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: call him the King of Jews, when in reality he
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: is absolutely what they called him, the king of the Jews.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: What idiots? That fascinates me. In the early journey of
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: this text see inaugural display of this text see embryotic
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: development of this text is some mixed expectations of the people,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and the reason I think expectations have a lot to
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: do with the text is that write this down. Expectations
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: control disappointment. I can't control what you do to me,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: but I can control what I expect from you. And
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: once I find out what you are capable of doing,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I lure my expectations to your capabilities. So I can't
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: get shocked by your behavior because I can't control what
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: you do, but I control what I expect. Because to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the degree that I control what I expect, I monitor
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: my disappointment, because disappointment is the end result of lofty expectations,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: and it is in fact about the expectations that I
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: have come to talk to you about. They all said
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the same thing, and they all experienced the same moment.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: The disciples went and obeyed him, and they got the cold,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and they bought him. And Jesus said, if any man
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: stop you in the way, tell him the Lord has
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: need of him. And that means that somebody gave up
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: their donkey so Jesus could have arrived. What have you
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: given up that was yours, that you raised up and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: fed and grew up nurtured, And yet you were willing
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: to give it up so that God can use it.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: There is no success without sacrifice.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Just because you aren't.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: The one who paid it doesn't mean that somebody didn't
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: pay it. You can come in this search for years
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and throw five dollars in an offering plate and walk
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: away and pay it no mine. But it is not
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: your five dollars that paid for that pew. It is
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the people who gave five hundred and five thousand and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: ten thousand and one thousand dollars for years, and you
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: get to sit in somebody else's sacrifice while you pass
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the plate and do nothing. Just because you didn't pay
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it didn't get paid for it. Just
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: because you didn't buy the milk and the refrigerator and
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: you left it out on the counter for it to
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: go bad doesn't mean that Mommy or Daddy didn't pay
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: for the gallon of milk that you chose to waste.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Because you can waste it until you start paying for it. Yeah,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: when you start paying for it, I bet you put
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: it back in the refrigerator. My kids used to turn
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: their air conditioning on, and the fans said they couldn't
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: sleep without the air conditioning and the fan on.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: When they moved out, they learned how to sleep without.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: The air conditioning on the fan, or because when the
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: bills come in your name, you learn how to cut
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: stuff off. You ought to see them going through the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: house cutting off and cut that light out. Ain't nobody
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: in that room? We don't need no light. I think,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: why were you ten years ago? Jesus is literally sitting
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: on the benevolence of a follower, which is built on
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the integrity of his name. Tell them the Master has
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: need of it. I'm not going myself. I'm not calling him,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not reaching out to him. You just tell him
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: what I said. My name will open up doors to
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: access other people's resource. That's when you got power. You
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: ain't got power because you got muscles. You got power
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: when you can put your name on something and it
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: opens up because I mean, it's nice. I have muscles.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not hating on nobody. I got a few. But
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the problem with it ain't nobody fighting no more. So.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: You can box like Muhammad Alaid, but you can't box
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: a nine millimeter. Power is when your name has enough
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: weight that all they have to do is go in
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: your name and doors open because.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: You said it.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: That's what you want aspire to to get the power
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and the integrity behind your name. That's strong enough that
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: your name opens doors and you don't have to walk
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: around wearing BRIONI, what are you wearing me? I'm wearing me. Yeah,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I'm dressed in me. This is my company, this is
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: my suit, this is my tailor. May been, I'm wearing
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: me because I'm tired of investing in other people's names.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna start investing. You can't handle that. Let me
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: get out of that. The mixed expectations of the people
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: are mighty because the fact that Jesus has summoned the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: coat to ride it to the city reinforces the expectation
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: of the people around him that he is coming as
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the son of David to be king. You see, throughout
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: most of the Old Testament, they saw the peaks of
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the mountains, but not the valleys. So they saw the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: first Advent and the second Advent, the coming of Christ,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the return of Christ. And they prophesied about the birth
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: of Christ and the return of Christ, but they said
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: very little about the death of Christ. So the death
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: of Christ was hidden from view because the death of
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Christ is process the return of Christ's promise, and God
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: very seldom gives us details about process, because if he
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: gave you the he tells about the process, you would
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: give up on the promise. So he gives you a
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: vision about the promise, and then he throws you into
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: the process. And you said, Lord, I didn't know it
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: was gonna take all of this. I wanted a good marriage,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: but I didn't mean that. I didn't expect that.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Shut up.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: You didn't tell me I was gonna have to bite
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: my tongue.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: I want a husband.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I don't want to wash no dirty drawer. I want
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: a wife. I don't want to be understanding listening to
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: her chatter about people I don't know. I learned how
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: to handle that. When my wife does that, I respond,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: shut up, get out of here. No she didn't. She
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: know better than that. I can't believe I can't write
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: on reading the paper. Shut up, get out of here.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: She know better than that. Shut your mouth, girl, No
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: she didn't. She know better than that. No, y'a okay,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Still my stuff, that's mine. It's patented. You can't have it.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: But it's why we've been married forty years. And as
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: long as she don't question me too deep, because I
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: might not even know what she talking about. But I
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: did look good in the moment. These are the kinds
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: of things that you go through when we are living
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: life together but having two completely different experiences. My wife
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: and I live in the house, same house, but we
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: have two completely different experiences. We go to the same party,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the same dinner party. We get in the car and
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: go home, and it's like we were at two different events.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: You know, she don't like her husband at all. Couldn't
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: you tell? No?
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: I couldn't deal. I was talking.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I wasn't checking to see whether she liked her husband
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: or not. The lady in the red shoes had an attitude.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: She didn't even want to call. I didn't even see
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the shoes, So I don't even know who you're talking about.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Are you sure we was at the same event? Because
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I was trying to wrap up this deal with Microsoft.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: You trying to smoke out these red shoes.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Now you keep the shoes I wanted to deal.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that just because we have the same experience,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: we don't have the same expectation. The crowd expected Jesus
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: to fix their loneliness. The crowd is an oppressed people
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: in their own land. We talk about slavery amongst African
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Americans a lot, and it was horrific and terrible, and
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: it deserves to be studied and understood, like the Holocaust,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: so that it is never repeated again. We have to
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: study it not from an accusatory perspective, but from a
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: human behavior perspective, so that we understand what humans are
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: capable of. When we lose equity of power, we set
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: ourselves in threat. No matter the color of your skin,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: too much power totally corrupts.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: You.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Hear what I'm saying. But the Africans have a completely
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: different experience because they were colonized in their own country
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: and restricted out of the places they owned with science
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: that said no blacks allowed in my own and house.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: So colonization was as traumatic for them as slavery was
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: for us. The Jews are being enslaved, entrapped second class citizens.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: In their own house, and much of their.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Culture has been lost, and their food has been lost,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and the religion has been tampered with by Herod, who
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: is partially Jewish and partially Greek, and he has infused
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: his purpose and way to the point he is selling
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: them offerings. And Jesus freaked out in the temple because
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: he never intended for government to get in church business.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: The reason Jesus is flipping over tables is not because
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: they're selling chicken dinners after church. The reason Jesus is
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: flipping over the tables is because Hairy is making money
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: off of their belief system. That's why it is called
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Herod's temple. It was never meant to be Herod's temple
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: if it was God's house. I'm going somewhere. I'm going somewhere.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I want you to understand the climate of this situation,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: and so they desperately needed Jesus to be the long
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: awaited messiah to They expected his return to liberate them
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: from the oppression of Caesar. The Roman dominance that prevailed
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: over the city had left them a second class citizen
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: in their own house. Now you can belittle me in
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the public a little bit.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: You can.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: You can belittle me in the public a while. When
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: you come in my house and you get up in
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: my face, in my house and try to tell me
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: who I'm not, You're gonna get a most unsavory side
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: of me.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Am I the only one.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I pay too many mortgage payments to be intimidated in
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: my own house. I pay too much property taxes to
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: be intimidated in my own house, I put too much
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: work in to be into.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: I will put you out.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I had been known to walk over and open the
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: door and say, I'm the president in here, I am
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: the chief executive officer of my house. I am the well.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: You stop me just in time. You know your brother,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: You know your brother. You better pray me on through
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: because I get in them out for best. I forget girl.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Almost told them who I was right in church. You
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: prayed me out of that. I'm so thankful for you.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Keep on in a seating for the man of God. Yeah,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: keep on in a seeding for the Man of God,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: because I will flip out all my stuff. They are
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: fresh in their own city. Much of their traditions have
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: been compromised. In religion has been diluted, their culture has
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: been diluted. They are holding on by the the mere
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: skin of their teeth to their priestly order. John the
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Baptist is a priest after the order of Zacharias, and
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: yet completely different from him. They're holding on to a
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: little bit of their ceremonies and rituals in spite of
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: the fact that the ark of the company's gone you
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: know how it is when people are robbing you of
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: who you are and you're trying to hold onto a
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: little bit of your personhood. That's where a lot of
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: relationships are. They will rob you of who you are
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: until you have to fight for the threads of being yourself.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I don't want you if it means losing me. Write
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: that down. I don't want you if it means losing me. Yeah,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: you can accept me, you can love me, but God
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: did not call you to change me. You are not
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: my pastor. You are not my savior. You're not my deliver.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: We can share life together, but I'm gonna do me.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: You do you, We do us. That's how that works.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: You see how that went. That's how that works. They
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: had lost themselves in the dominance of their masters.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: And they were waiting for the master to come.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: And there were multiple points of views, and Jesus calls
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: for the donkey to come that Zachariah nine nine to
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: twelve may be fulfilled. For in Zacharia nine nine through twelve,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: it says, rejoice, greatly, old daughter of Zion, shout, old
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: daughter of Jerusalem.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Behold our king, come up unto thee.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: He is just and having salvation lowly and riding upon
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: an ass and upon a colt, the foal of an ass.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: So when they saw him coming on the colt, they
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: saw him as the king. So they called him Hosanna
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: to the son of David, because they said, our liberator,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: our doctor, king, our Nelson Mandela has finally come, our
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Kentacote has a role.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: What come to forever? This is it.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: We get ready to take over this mug. There's gonna
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: be some trouble up in here. Shaka Zulu, Shaka Zulu.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: We get ready to swing down on the trees and
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: we're gonna drive you out of Israel.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: We're gonna drive you back. You're gonna have wrong, but
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: you getting.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Up out of here today, Hozana to the King of King.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: They knew that the scription says, I will cut off
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: the battle of Bowl shall be cut off, and he
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: shall speak peace unto the heathen, and his dominions shall
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: be from the sea even to the sea, and from
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: the river even unto the ends of the earth.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: They knew that.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: They knew that he would say, as for thee also
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: by the blood of thy covenant. I have sent forth
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: thy prisoners out of the pit where there is no water.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: That means I'm gonna lose some prisoners.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope. Did
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: you hear that?
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Turn ye to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope. You
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: gotta write that, prisoners of hope now because you need
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: to be a prisoner of hope. You need to be
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: incarcerated by hope, ye prisoners of hope. Even today do
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: I declare that I will I will render double unto
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: thee God said I'm gonna give you a double for
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: the trouble. So no wonder they started singing Hosanna to
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the king because they said, this means that we're gonna
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: break the bands that around our neck. This means we
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: can own our own businesses again. This means we can
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: rule ourselves again. This means we're gonna get double for
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the trouble. And we have been bound for years. And
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: this is a signist.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Hold that.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Holdzana to the son of the Last sent is he
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: that cometh in the name of the Lord. But they
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: are feeling joy while the disciples are feeling pain because
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: they think that Jesus is going to Jerusalem to kick button,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: and the disciples know that Jesus is going to Jerusalem
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: to die. And Jesus the Lord of Glory, that I
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: am of Israel, the Mighty God, the day Star, the Kinsman, Redeemer,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Jesus sially of the Valley, Jesus that I am of God,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Jesus Ruler of the Universe. Jesus Principece chooses not to
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: ride in on a stallion. He's saving that for the encore.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: He's not going to ride in on a stallion. He
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: chooses not to ride in on a chariot. He chooses
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: to come in on what a child would ride, what
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: a poor proper child would ride. Jesus, the Lord of Glory,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: who commands see angels, is not riding on chariots sapphire.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: He's riding on the back of an.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Ass to show you that I am the God of
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: the down trodden, I am the God of the broken,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I am the God of the old pressed, I am
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: the God of the denied. I am the God the forsaken.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: And if it's necessary, I'll humble myself down from the
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: corridors of heaven and sit down on a donkey and
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: walk amongst you, right where you are. I'm as kidding
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: to you as this donkey is. I'm connected to you
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: as this donkey. In fact, when you read through the
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Bible all the miracles I ever did, how use stuff
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: you had, I will bring my glory within your reach.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: I will not put my glory in somebody else's house.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: If it's a jaw bone of an ass, that will
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: be in your reach. If it's two fishing, five rods
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: of bread, it will be in your reach. If it's
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: a part of aill, it will be in your reach.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: And whatever it is, I'm gonna put it in your
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: ear or somebody out to shout me down, because I'm
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: telling you, your next miracle is within your reach. Stop
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: looking at somebody else's house for your miracle. Your next
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: miracle is in your house. It's in your head, it's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: in your thoughts, it's in your mind. It is within
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: your reach. For whoever that's for, praise him like you
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: lost your mind. It is importance. I'm almost finished the
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: importance of balancing the extremes.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: He is the Lord of glory, but he is sitting
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: on a horse.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: The extremes of the donkey waiting and the master's urgency.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: A waiting donkey and an urgent master. This Texas full
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: of extremes. The coronation Hosiina to the son of David,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: the crucifixion, crucify him, Praises in the air, Palms are
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: on the ground. Resistance at gisimine, submission at the village.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: It is socks and morons of life. The highs and
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: the low, the north and the south, the east and
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: the west. Everybody in here has polarities in your life.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: If you show me this side, I'll think you're amazing.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: If you show me that side, I'll think you need
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: to be saved. Don't you sit there with your holy
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: self and don't act like you don't have a side
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: you don't want nobody to see, because everybody in here
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: has got a side that contradicts the other side. And
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: how you balance those two sides is how well you
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: do in life. Ain't kill either side, but you can
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: control the other side so that you can be the
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: best version of yourself. Who am I talking to I'm
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: in here. I'm in here. They think he is headed
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: to be their king. After all, he has sweated till
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: blood has come through the pores of his skin.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: He knows he is headed to the.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Cross, and they are all experiencing it together.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: He knows that he has to fulfill what is called
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: escapegoat in the Bible.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Escapegoat is sent into the wilderness after the Jewish priest
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: has symbolically laid the sins of the people upon him.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: When John saw him and said, behold the lamb of God,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: who taketh the way the sins of the world. He
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: is both the lamb of God and the scapegoat of God.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: It was the custom in the book of Leviticus to
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: pray the sins on the safe's goad and sent him
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: into the wilderness. That's why, after the holy ghosts had
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: fallen upon Jesus in the Jordan River, they sent him
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: in the wilderness, because he is our scapegoat and he
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: carried away our sins. Jesus going in the wilderness is
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: the shadow of Jesus going to the cross.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: So he's riding on.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: A goat because he is carrying away the sins of
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the world to God be the gold. Look at how
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: much God carried away out of your life. He carried
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: away stuff out of your life that you have been
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: guilty about that. You have been worried about that, you
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: have been termedol about. God has carried away. Since God
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: has carried it away, why are you still carrying it?
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you over.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Here, Since God has carried it away, Wow are you
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: still carrying it? Slapped somebody and tell them it's gone.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: He carried it away, He carried it away. They slapped
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: him and sent him into the wilderness. They carried him away.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: He got on the gold and carried it to the cross.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: And on the cross he nailed to the cross. Every
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: ordernance that was ever against me, every curse, every witch,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: every act. That's why I ain't scared at none of
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: you witches in here, because all of your spells a
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: nailed to the cross. Greater is he that send me

• 48:50
  Speaker 1: then they said crucified. It wasn't what they said that
• 48:54

• 49:38
  Speaker 3: I'm almost done. Can I come down here. I want
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: to connect, I want to correct.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: All of this Tastes came to giving the sun gave
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: his life. That's a big story. The owner. He gave
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: the colts.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: The disciples took their coats, and now they didn't go
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: to the warehouse.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: And by court.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: Their coats were made, took hours of labor, and they
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: took their coats and covered the ass so Jesus could
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: sit on their sacrifice. When what's the last time that
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: you gave something that cost you something?
• 50:40
  Speaker 6: So Jesus could sit on the colts. Now I'm tunning
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: in here. We see Jesus riding the colt like his mama.
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: You will remember that when his mama was carrying him,
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: she came riding to the mains and she was riding
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: on the colt. Isn't it amazing how God will bring
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: your life full circle? The first time it was the
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: mama riding, and here comes Jesus riding like his mama.
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: God said, I'm gonna do a new thing in your
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: life I'm gonna turn it all the way around again.
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: And the first time you came in, you was riding
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: on a colt, time in your mama's reilly. And the
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: next time you come in, I'm back on the colt again.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Somebody hull, I'm back. The devil tried to kill me,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: but I'm back. Hell trying to take me out. I'm
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: about to feel like preaching. Hell tried to take me out,
• 52:01

  Speaker 1: I can feel it in my hands, I can feel
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: it in our feet, I can feel it in my soul.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: I can feel it in my spirit more than your neighbor.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Something's about to happen in here. If I leave, don't
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: take I'm crazy. If I run, don't chase me. But
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: I feel a breakthrough coming in this place. I feel
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: the deliverance of the Lord coming in this place. Somebody
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: help me praising Lord. Somebody help me praising. Somebody help
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: me praising. Is there anybody in the balcony that would
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: praise the Lord? He say, anybody in the balcony that
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: would praise the Lord? Is there anybody in the balcony
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: that's about to get a turn around?
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: You about to come around for a circle?
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: Ride?
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: Bady ride, ride, bady ride.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: God is about to do something in your life. Make
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: some noise, come out of your closet. Show your self,
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: stroll online, show your self, stroll. I feel the breaking
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: up day. I'm all those where I want to be.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: There are three levels of giving. There are those who
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: gave their coats. Some put them on the donkey and
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: some put them on the ground. But they gave something
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: that they had an investment in to the Kingdom of God.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: If you don't.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Invest in the Kingdom, how dare you ask the Kingdom
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: to invest in you? If you're not willing to give
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: something that costs you, something that you sweated for, that
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: it took you months to make, that you had to
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: be fitted for that was made for you, but you
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: gave it to him.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: That's sacrifice.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Sacrifice when you buy me something, it's sacrifice when you
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: give me something you wanted. As long as you give
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: me something you don't like, you ain't sacrifice. But if
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: you give me something that you wish you had yourself,
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: that's a sacrifice.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: They put the coats on the ground.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: There was something about Jesus that they looked at the
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: coat and said, you ain't nothing. Paul said, I counted
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: all done that I might wear the excellency of Christ.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: Whenever you see Jesus, you put things in the proper perspective.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: Who's shucked, no.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Boy, whenever you see Jesus. Anytime I see somebody struck
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: on yourself. You seen church, but you ain't seen Jesus.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: If you ever see Jesus, it'll make you throw your
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: coat on the ground.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: If you ever see Jesus in.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: A change of pride, If you ever see Jesus, it'll
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: make you put everything up under your feet. Paul said,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: I counted all but dog that I might win the
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: excellency of Jesus Christ. Somebody who knows the word did
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: the Lord of please right now slap somebody and say,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: throw it down. Whatever you've been exalted, throw it down,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: whatever you've been prouder, throw it down, whatever you put
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: your home in.
• 56:50
  Speaker 7: Tawt down, tut down down, taw it down, down down,
• 56:56
  Speaker 7: tut down down down, taught down down down, tawn down.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: Now that's washap. When you throw it down, slap your
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: neighbor and say tow it down. There were three levels
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: of giving. The giving of the coat is something that
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: was for you, but when you saw him, you counted
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: it as done and you threw it down for him.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: The second level is the cutting of the palm tree,
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: which costs you nothing, but you wanted to do something,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: so the only effort you expended was cutting down what
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: was easy. You have never given an offering. All you've
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: ever given was palm trees. You just reached over and
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: cut down something that was close anyway. You didn't have
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: nothing invested in it. It didn't cost you nothing, but
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: it looked good in the crowd. You cut down the
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: palm tree and laid it down at his feet, and
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: you thought you had done something big. But to the
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: folks who dropped their coat, your palm tree don't mean
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: nothing at all, because you cut down what didn't bleed.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: You cut down what you cared nothing about, and you
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: gave it to God as if you were throwing something big,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: all based on what you thought he was gonna do
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: for you. You cut down the palm trees because you
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: thought you was gonna get double for your trouble. You
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: cut down the palm trees because you thought you had
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: a new king, the son of David. I gave my
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: coat because I esteemed who he was to be greater
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: than what he did. If you don't do anything else
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: for me, if I can do anything to make you
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: more comfortable, if I have to give you something, I'll
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: give you the shirt of my back because I love
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: who you are, not what you did. If you're gonna die,
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: or die with you. Notice most of the cot divers
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: were disciples. They knew he was going to die. Most
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: of the branch cutters were people who lived up under
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: the illusion that he was going to set up his kingdom.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: Because as long as you only serve God for what
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: he can do for you, you will give something, but
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: it will costs you nothing. But when you have fallen
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: in love with God, and when you esteem him above
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: your chiefest joy it changes the way you'll give because
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: your value changes. So one you had coat difference set up.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: Secondly you had palm cutters, and then you had lip service.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: Holda.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: You ain't cut nothing, You ain't gave nothing. You just
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: making noise. I have learned over the years the loudest
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: folk in the church do the least giving them. People
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: that gets out of control and runs all over the place,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: and you can't do nothing with them, and they dance
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: and break their shoe and they're hollering and falling all
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: over top of everybody.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: Don't give ten dollars the people who make all of noise.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: Hosanna to the son of David, Hosannah to the King
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: of King. Where is your branch? Where is your coat?
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: Where is your sacrifice? Wherein has a man rob?
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: God?
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: With your mouth you drawn down to me, but with
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: your hogs are far from me. You must be praying
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: for me, cause I feel like preaching me. And if
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like preaching it, somebody's gonna break in this
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: place today.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: I feel the.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Annoting I'm the Holy Ghost about im break loose in
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: this place. Somebody's gonna get delivering high helujah. God, don't
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: just wantch your lip service. He wants so sacrifice. Somebody
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: shout yes, that was cute, but I said, shout yes, suh.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: Stop being impressed with lip service.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: Stop being impressed with people speaking in tongues in the
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: grocery store. Stop being impressed with bathroom profits. Because anybody
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: can make noise, but you have to be a special
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: person to make change.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: And I feel change coming in the atmosphere. I fifty
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: not nice. I feel change coming in the atmosphere.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: I wish I had a hundred old saints that knew
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: how to go into a sycofied praise somebody else.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: I feel a change. So this is my point that
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: I'm closing.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: They did all of that, given the three levels of
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: given the coats, the palm trees, and praise, and they
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: was good with it till he got you to the
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: Sanhedrin court, till he was apprehended by palette, and then
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: he was apprehended by that which they thought he was
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: going to apprehend So the same people who said, Hosannah,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: you get anything, Now that I see that you're not
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: gonna do what I thought you was gonna do, now
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: I got no more use for you. Watch out for
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: people who throw you away. Stop crying over who threw
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: you away, because you didn't lose nothing in the first
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: When they were saying Hosannah, they were opportunists. When they
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: said crucify him, they were opportunists. The only reason they
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: mad at you is because they can't get out of
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: you what they want to get out of you. And
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: there you sit up crying thinking you lost something.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: That you never had.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: You never had them in the first place. I feel
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: like preaching. I feel the annoyingy of the Holy gold. Sir,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: somebody's getting delivered from people. You've been delivered from alcohol,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: You've been delivered from drugs, but now God is getting
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: ready to deliver you from people. If God is delivering
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: you from people, take about ten seconds and praise him
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: like you trying to clear your I'm true. I'm true
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: with people. I'm true with worrying about it. I'm through
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: with trying to get along with true and word about people.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: Two things that I'm done.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: The big will say, Thomas, you have believed because you
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: have seen or other worse.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: You believe and trust because of what you know. But
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: blessed are those who have not seen and yet David.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Need all of these other foot of loss their blessing
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: because their Hosannah turned to crucify him. But there were
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: a few people left on the cross that said, though
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: he's slaved, yet, shall I trust say? If it died,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna trust him. If they bury him, I'm gonna
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: trust him. If they put him in a grain, I'm
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: gonna be freaking sudding man. I old, I feel like
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: preaching this word. Does anybody want to hear this word?
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: So I asked God. I said, since they did not
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: start celebrating Palm Sunday until the fourth century, after the
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: Early Church, and it didn't get big to the eighth century,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: eight hundred years after the Resurrection, before Palm Sunday became
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: embedded in the Christian theology, so before it was a tradition.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Why did you spend so much time articulating the text
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: to me? He said, because I want my people to
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: have trusting beyond knowing to to trust me when you
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: don't know how things are going to turn out.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: This is important.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Please, God told me this is important. He said, I
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: want somebody to trust me before knowing to trust me
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: when I make a U turn.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: To trust me.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: When I had something in mind different from what you
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: had in mind. To trust me, when you had bad theology.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: To trust me, when you thought I was going to
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: do something one way and I did it another way.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: To trust me when you understand that you think of earthly.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: Kingdoms and my kingdom is not of this world. And
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: sometime I have to disappoint you to elevate you. Come on,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: come on, come on, come on. Trust me.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: Trust me if I break your heart, trust me, if
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: I let you down.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: Trust me. You were going out to Pilot, I was
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: going out to Satan. Trust me.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: You got a bigger enemy than what you see. And
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: while you're trying to get me to deal with somebody
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: that I know is gonna be overthrown in a few years. Anyway,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: I'm going after your real enemy. He was wounded for
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: my transgressions.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: He was bruthed.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: I gotta stop there for my iniquities. The chastisement of
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: my peace was upon him, and with destriits. I am
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: here for this purpose. What's the son of man made manifest?
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: That he might destroy the old call of mercy. I'm
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: about to feel like I'm forty one, that he might
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: destroy the works of the devil. I didn't come to
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: destroy pilot. I told you he's gonna destroy himself. Not
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: one stone will be left standing upon another. But I
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: came to destroy the works of the devil. Somebody shall
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: destroy it. Destroy cancer. Holler destroyed, destroy suicide. Hollow destroy,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: destroy mental pain, to Holler destroy, destroy kidney disease, Holler destroy,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: destroy leukemia.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: Somebody hollered destroy. That's all. Here is our great challenge.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: It's to not be like the palm throwers and the
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: lip service people.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: To be like the Disciples means they gave their coat
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: to a savior that they knew.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: Was gonna die. Now that's waship to trust me.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: I'm knowing. That means I give you my coat. If
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: you don't restore the kingdom, that's good. That's good. That
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: means I give you my coat if I keep on
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: living out my same own normal routine.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: As long as I got you. Yeah, Yeah, that means
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: that I keep on praising you.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: Married or not, boyfriend or nots, big house and notts,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: mutual funds are notts. That means that I praise you
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: job or nots. That means that my hair stop growing.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: I'll praise you with a bald head. That means that
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: my hair turns whiter. I'll praise you up into my
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: old age. That means that the building is empty, I'll
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: still praise your name. If there is no crowd, I'll
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: still praise your name. If I have to preach in
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: the jail house, I'll still preach your worry, because it's
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: not about dollars and cents. It's about purpose and passion.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: And I want to raise up somebody who trusts beyond knowledge.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: Stand to your feet. I'm close with this. The ways
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: of the Lord are high lifted up. Even the people
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: who suppose to know what he's doing don't know. Even
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: the people who think they know don't know. I tell
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: all the preachers all the time, do all the teaching
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: you're gonna teach down here. Write all the books you're
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: gonna write down here. There will be no bookstores in heaven.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: If you want to be a professor, be a professor
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: down here, because there will be no professors, and there
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: will be no universities in heaven, because all of our
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: knowledge amounts to foolishness. When he shall up here, there'll
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: be none of us teaching him theology, hermeneutics, howmiolytics, all
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: of these man made names normatology.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 4: We won't be teenching nothing. We sit out at his
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: feet with it out at his feet, and.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: He will say, I love you because you trust me
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: beyond knowing. Now there are people in this room that
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: are dealing with all kinds of stuff, and you deal
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: with the stress of not knowing how it's gonna turn out.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: You don't know if you're gonna get the home back
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: together or not. You don't know if the kids are
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: going through school or not. You don't know if they're
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: not blowing your heart earned money, smoking up their tuition.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: You don't know if they're coming home pregnant or ATIV positive.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: You don't know for sure if you're gonna get laid
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: off tomorrow. You cannot have faith based on knowing.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: Because I'm gonna tell you the truth. Man, I'm gonna
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: tell you the truth sometime.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know if everything's gonna be okay. I don't
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: know if I don't want to have to cry. I
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: don't know who I have to sing goodbye to. I
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: don't know if this is the last time.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know if the market's going up and down.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if my house will sell or not.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I finish my strategy or drop
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: dead when I walk off the stage.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But the beauty of my pay is
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: that I can trust be unknowing to all my brothers
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: and sisters who have to know everything.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: Where we're gonna stay, where we're gonna live, but we
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: gonna eat it, What we're.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: Gonna do, How much money we're gonna make. Let me
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: see how much rent we're gonna pay. Let me see
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: if it makes sense to me.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: To all of you people who have to know everything,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: you are canceling out a chance to walk with God. Customer,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: walk with God is to be cool with uncertainty. To
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: be cool with uncertain you'll know whether your parents, whether
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: your patience, are gonna live or not. You do everything
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: you know how to do, and you pray, and you
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: sow and you give, and you're great doctors. But you
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: don't know. Don't nobody know but God. You look at
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: all evidence and make a decision as a judge, But
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: you don't know.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: We don't know.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: It's okay to not know. Stop trying to know everything.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: They saw the colt and they thought it was the kingdom,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: but the kingdom.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: Was not of this world.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: And the reason they could, with such venom say crucify
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: him is because they were disappointed. And the reason they
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: were disappointed is because they expected something that was not
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: in God's plan. What have you expected that is not
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: in God's plan? And you got the nerve to tell
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: God he lets you down? How dare you say he
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: lets you down like it's his job to fulfill your desire.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: God don't work for you. God doesn't work for you.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: You work for God.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: God doesn't work for you, and it is not his
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: job to fulfill your desires.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: You done carried that boss thing too far.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: You don't run up on the real boss now, the
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: real boss, the ruler of the universe, and his thoughts
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: are above our thoughts, and his ways are above our ways.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: And he told me to tell you, And I don't
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: know who is for it. I don't know whether you're
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: in the room or in the back, or in the balcony,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: or you just got in it, or you're long doing.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: But God says he's not gonna let you know, so
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: stop asking him to make you know. He said he
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: requires of you that you trust beyond knowing my third clothes,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: he won't stop talking to me. He told Abraham to
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: get up early in the morning and take the sun
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: that he waited one hundred years to have, and he said,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: take him.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: To a place I will show you.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: So Abraham loads up the wagon and takes his son,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: and he SAIDs where we're going, I don't know, but
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: I'll know it when I see it.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: That's how you live your life.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: You want to know.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 4: You can't know.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: You have to follow on to know.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: You have to just where we going, Daddy, I'm not sure,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: He said, It's somewhere out here, and I know it
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: when I see it, and I trust beyond knowing. And
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: when he the Bible said he was three days off
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: from the place, and he looked up and he saw
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: the place.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: He said, that's it. Now I know the place.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: And so he starts up the hill and he says
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: to the servants, stay, hear me in the land. Are
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: going your under the worship. And he starts up from
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: the hill to go from one not knowing to another,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: not knowing. The boy says to him, Daddy, I see
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: the knife, and I see the wood where it's the sacrifice.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: He said, I don't know. I don't know where it is.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: I just know that God himself shall provide the sacrifice.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: Here's God's word to you. Here's God's word to you, warriors.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: It'll be there when you get there. Abraham goes up
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: from the mountaintop raises up his knife to slay. You
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: have to have a son to understand it. This is unthinkable.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: This is just something I can't hardly even preach it.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: To lay my son on the altar and raise a
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: knife to stab my son as I can't even preach it.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: And Abraham raises his hand to slay his son, And
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: all of a.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: Sudden, you heard Abraham. Stay your hand. Behold, I have
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: a ram in the thicket. You didn't know it. You
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: didn't know it.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: God says, you don't know what he has in store
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: for you. Stop saying stupid stuff. I'm gonna kill myself.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: My life is not worth him shat. You have to
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: trust me on knowing, because you don't know what's coming
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: up the other side of the hill. While Abraham was
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: coming up this side, the answer was coming up on
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: that side. And faith is not about what you know,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: it's about what you don't. No, blessed are they who
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: have not seen, and yet they believe about heads and
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: closed eyes.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 5: I'm done, sa
