  Speaker 1: Hello, have you ever gone through a time in your
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: life that you searched for God.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: And wondered, Lord, where are you?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: What's going on in my life? What time is it?
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: When are you going to answer me? Hello, I'm Bishop T.D. Jakes,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and I've got a word that's really going to change
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: your life. The message is, he loved me enough to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: be late. He may not come when you want him.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that he's always right on time. This message is going
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to speak to your life. Listen as God speaks to
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: you now. He loves you even when it seems like
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: he's late. I'm privileged tonight and I'm excited tonight. I
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: told Pastor we were sharing in the truck when he
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: brought me over. Sometimes I walk in the room, I
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: don't know what God is going to do to. I
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: just get in the room and sense the atmosphere and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I feel electrified.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I feel elected myself. If I drop the mic and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: go into like a split and moonwalk backwards and then
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: start sliding down the aisle sideways, kind of like that,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I'm really not crazy. I'm just happy. I'm just glad
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: to be saved.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I was on my way to hell and living in
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: hell while I was waiting to go to hell. And
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: he just came along and snatched me out the jaws
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of the lion.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I'm just glad to be saved. I'm glad. I tell you,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I am glad to be saved. I'm glad to be.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Are you glad just to be saved?
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Not about the car, not about the house, not about
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the job. Just happy to know in your heart.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: That you're walking with the Lord.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I better preach. I want to visit. I'm just getting
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to know you. I just like to hang around and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: chit chat. My dad is from Mississippi and my mother
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: is from Alabama. Southern folks like to visit. But I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: guess I better preach. Say amen someone. Get your Bibles
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: tonight and turn to the Gospel of St. John chapter
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: number 11. I believe that God has given me a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: word that will speak directly to circumstances in the lives
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: of this people. Not just a message, a sermon, or
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: a hymn. But I asked him to give me a word.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And I asked him that while I preached, he would
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: bring before you issues in your life. And that the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: word would be relative.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Relative.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: To circumstances that you are now confronting. I believe that
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: this message is prophetic for this people and the direction
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: that you are going and explains some of the areas
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: in which you have been. I don't know you. I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: don't need to know you. But he knows you. It's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: my custom to stand for the reading of the word.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Do you mind just doing it my way? Let's hear it. Amen. Amen.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: That keeps anybody from sleeping, okay? It gets you off
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to a good start. They have to wake up for
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you to start if they fall asleep for the fittest.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: We're going to be in the 11th chapter of the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Gospel of St.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: John.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: We're going to read the first verse down through the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: sixth verse, and we're going to read it real loud
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: so if there's any little ghosts or demons or goblins
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: or anything, they're just going to get upset and.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Run out of here. Are you ready to read? Come on,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: let's go.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Now a certain man was sick named Lazarus.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: was sick. Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: he whom thou lovest is sick. When Jesus heard that,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: he said, this sickness is not unto death, but for
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the glory of God, that the Son of God might
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: be glorified thereby. Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and Lazarus.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: When he had therefore heard.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: That he was sick, he abode two days still in
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the same place where he was. Remain standing, we're going
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to pray. But let's look at that fifth and sixth verse.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Now when Jesus, now Jesus loved Martha and her sister
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and Lazarus. When he had heard, therefore, that he was sick,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: he abode two days still.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: In the same place. where he was.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: We're going to pray in just a moment, but my
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: thought tonight is he loved me enough to be late.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: He loved me enough to be late.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Let's pray.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Spirit of God, accomplish some In this place tonight.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Meet needs. Answer questions. That have been laid on the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: altar of somebody's heart. Speak specifically.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: To circumstances and situations that are pending. At this present moment.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I thank you for what you've already done. And I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: thank you for what you're doing right now. But most
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of all, I thank you for what you're about to do.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Spirit of God, have your way tonight.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You may be seated in the presence of the Lord.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Jesus carried the gospel everywhere. And everywhere he went he
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: affected that place. Just by the foolishness of preaching entire
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: cities were turned upside down. If he came into the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: city he would wreck Whole social systems were disrupted by
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: his preaching.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: He was awesome.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: If he started preaching in the desert, people would flee
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: from the cities and meet him in the desert just.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: To hear him preach.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: If he got in a house and started preaching, he
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: would fill the house with Until people were standing in
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the window, then in the door, then in the closet.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And one house was so congested that four men carried
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a sick man of palsy up a wall and across
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the roof and cut a hole in the roof and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: lowered him down into the presence of the Lord. Without
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: a TV ministry or a radio ministry or a business
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: card or a flyer or a mailing list, if Jesus
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: started preaching, he had no trouble preaching up 5,000 men
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: not to mention women and children, without a PA system,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: without a sound system, without a telephone, without any type
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: of electronic device, Jesus could stand there and preach down
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: in a dry place and get 5,000 men, not to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: mention women and children together, and they would stay and
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: be willing to faint rather than to miss.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Something that he said. He was absolutely awesome.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: And of all of the premier, distinguished, prolific, profound preachers
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of this hour, none could preach like Jesus.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: He didn't just have a word. He was the word.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: He was the abstract.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Invisible, intangible word of God that came forth from the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: presence of God in the creation and said, let there be.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: And it was. He was that same word.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Who wrapped himself up in a cloak of flesh. And
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: tabernacled amongst. And we beheld the wonder of his glory.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: The only begotten of the father. Full of grace and truth.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Completely awesome. Preach with power and integrity. And without ever
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: having preached in a pulpit. he would preach in a
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: graveyard until dead men came leaping out of the pulpit
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it was this Jesus that as he moved from city
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to city found specific places that he would dwell because
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: he didn't dwell anywhere. When he came to Bethany, he
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: had a particular house that he stayed in. And the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: house was the house of Mary and Martha and Lazarus.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I wonder if Jesus came to Denver, whose house would
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: he feel comfortable? They had created a habitation for the Lord.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: A dwelling place where he was comfortable to abide within
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the perimeters of.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: The sanctity of the atmosphere they emanated. They were awesome.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: It was Jesus' hangout. And yet... While he.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Was absent, there arose a problem in the house. Now,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: it's one thing to have a problem in Siberia or
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Ethiopia or Australia or some disconnected remote place that we
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: read on the 6 o'clock news is in trouble. And
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: we pray and we're concerned, but we continue to cook dinner.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: It's another thing to know that that problem has come
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Right into your own country. Get your attention. But if
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: it's not your area, you might continue to cook. What
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: about when it's in your city? A little closer to home.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: But you can move to another neighborhood or another side
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: of town. But it's really a problem when the trouble
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: is in your house. Because you cannot run from yourself. Periodically,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: there are situations that will erupt right in your house.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Right within the confines of an area that you have
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: jurisdictional government.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: When I say your house, I mean more than your address.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I mean everything that pertains unto you.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: And there can be something that pertains unto you that
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: develops a problem.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Even though you are.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: A Christian and love the Lord and he dwells among you,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: you can still have a problem. So there was a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: problem in the house. I thank the Lord for being
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: gracious enough to write in the word of God about
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: these fine believers who had a problem in their house.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it because if it were not for the Bible,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I would not know how to live.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Because I cannot look at other Christians and see that
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: anybody has a problem. Because we have folks that's positive confessors.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: That if you really want to understand what life is
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: all about, you really cannot look amongst you.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: You must look in the Word of God because the
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Word of God is open.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Enough and kind enough to share the fact that you
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: can really love the Lord and still have a problem.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: And I thank the Lord for that.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I really needed to know that because most church people
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: act as if everything.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Is wonderful all the time. And I must confess with you,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: there are days in my life that it seems like
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: all hell is breaking loose.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: And I come out into the fellowship of the dear
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Christian friends and brothers and I look from left to
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: right and everybody's smiling and skipping and raising their hands
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and I.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Dare not confess that there.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Is a problem in the house.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: That the Bible gives me a completed testimony Because if
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the truth were told, nobody has ever heard your real testimony. Oh,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: come on. Nobody here but us tonight. You know you
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: pick the parts that you tell. And no matter how
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: happy and how anointed you get, there are some things
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: that you don't discuss. And before you tell anybody what
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it was, you would just go out and tell us.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah. And no matter how well you think you know
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the persons around you, there are things about them that
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: you don't know, even if you are married to them.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: You can sit down at the breakfast table and drink
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: coffee and smile and talk about the paper and butter
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the toast and ask for a little bit more marmalade
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: on the toast and smile and grin and get the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: kids off to work. And still there are some things
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: in your head that are not discussed.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: At the table. Oh, but in my text tonight, he
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: just lays it all on the table and says there is,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: in fact, a problem in the house. And then it
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: dignifies the problem.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: By saying that it is not just any house, but
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: it is the same house that Mary lived in. And
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: then it specifies which Mary, so that you wouldn't think
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: it was just some wild, loose, ravenous, frivolous, unspiritual, disconnected,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: desolate Mary who had no concern for the Lord. So
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: it gives us her resume and says, this is the same.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Mary who walked into a room.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Full of men, pushed past all of the religious potentates,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: came to the feet of Jesus, anointed his feet, cried
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: before him, worshipped before him, dried his feet with her hair.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: She was a worshipper, but she still.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Had a problem in her house.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm just happy that they wrote about it because
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: if she had lived today, somebody would have told her
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: that if.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: She really believed God and if she was.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Really a worshiper and if she really served the Lord
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and if she really was everything she was supposed to be,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: she would never have a problem.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: She would never have a sickness. She would never have
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: any trouble.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: I just grabbed the Bible, gave the whole testimony.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe she didn't read the right book. I don't know.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe she didn't get the right tape series. But this woman.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Really loved the Lord and still there was a situation.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: A circumstance.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: A dilemma in her life. And though she worshipped intensely,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: there's still a sickness in the house. Well, it's hard
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: for us to understand what it's like to have somebody
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: sick in the house. Because we have visitation ministries and
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: we stop by and minister to people that are sick.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: And we call and make an appointment and say, me
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and Deacon so-and-so and Brother Flip Flapper are coming over.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: And we're coming by at six o'clock. We just wanted
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: to have a word of prayer. with grandma Bessie and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: when you get to mother Bessie's house they open the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: door you can smell chicken noodle soup bubbling in the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: kitchen they say she's right in the room you go
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: in the room it smells of disinfect sheets are white
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: bed linen is all white her hair is brushed back
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: into a bun Pillows are braced.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Up under her head. She's smiling at you. Her teeth
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: are in. Her breath is fresh. She's pleasant.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: And you spend a few moments with small talk and
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: chit chat. And you tell her how well she looks.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: And you read a scripture to her. You sing a song.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: And you pray for her.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: In about 10, 15 minutes, you're out of there. But
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: if you ever had anybody that was really sick in
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: your house, you know that sick people really are not
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: like that. If there's really a condition in the house,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: it will affect everything in the house. And no matter
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: how well you take care of them, the sheets are
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: not always clean and the room doesn't always smell nice.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: And the hair is not always brushed back into a bun.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: And sometimes sick folk can be some of the most hateful.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: angry frustrated hard to deal with people you.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Ever saw in your life.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Because when there is an issue of any kind in
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the house, it will.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Affect the whole atmosphere of the house.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: There are some problems that can arise in your domain
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: that you cannot hide. That you cannot disinfect, that you
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: cannot cover up, that you cannot fix to a point
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: that there is not a sense of discomfort. Mary had
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: a problem in her house. Mary, the worshiper. How many
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: worshipers do we have in here? You have to be
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: a special person to be a worshiper. Anybody can be
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: a praiser. The scriptures declare that everything that have breath
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: praise you the Lord. You don't even have to be
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: saved to praise the Lord. The heavens are telling the
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: glory of God. Birds pray songs to him in the morning.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: The rippling of the water as it moves from rivers
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: down into streams into oceans all declare the glory of God.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: The twinkling of stars, the shining of the sun, the
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: brilliance of the moon all depict the excellency of God.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: You don't even have to be saved to praise the Lord.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: But if you're going to be a worshiper, that's an
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: elect group of people. And the Father seeketh somebody that
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: can worship.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Him in spirit and in truth.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Everybody can't worship God because real.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Worship will take you from the outer court to the
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: inner court, through the veil, into the holies of holies.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Real worship will smear your makeup and mess up your hair.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Real worship. Real worship will make you praise God and
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: you don't care who's looking at you and what they
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: think about you.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Real worship will take you out of character.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Real worship will make you walk out of the church
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: shaking your head.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Real worship will come on your wire washing dishes and
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: make you throw.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Soup sacks in the air. Real worship.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: See, praising God embraces what he did for you. Thank
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you for my shoes. And thank you for my house.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: And thank you that my children are well. And thank
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: you for this job, Lord. I'm so glad to have
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: this apartment. You know how long I was on the
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: waiting list. And I thank you for moving my name
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: up and blessing me to get this apartment.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you for everything. this job. There were other people
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: more qualified, could have had this job.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: But Lord, you pull strings and open up doors and.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Made ways for me. And this is your job, Jesus.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: You gave this job to me. I thank you for
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: this job. See, that's praising God, praising him for what
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: he did. But worship goes deeper than that. It says,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: if I didn't have any shoes, if I didn't have
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: any house, and if I lose the job, and if
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: they take the product, you're still worthy. When you worship God,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: you quit talking about what he did and you embrace
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: who he is. And you start saying stuff like, holy, holy,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: holy is the Lord God of hosts.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: The whole earth is full of his glory.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: How excellent is thy name. How majestic is your name.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: You are absolutely glorious. There is none like you. King
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: of kings, Lord of lords, worthy is the lamb that
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: was slain.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: From the.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Fat.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Mary was. A worshiper. And yet she had a problem.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: And I believe that one of the things that the
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit wants us to understand is if you're a
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: worshiper and you have a problem, don't be discouraged by
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the problem. Because the problem is not an indictment against
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: the intensity of your worship. Look at somebody and say,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with you. Because there are certain situations
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: that can arise that will make you question your own
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: relationship with the Lord. And so having a dilemma is
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: not an indictment against the intensity and the sanctity of
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: your communion with God.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: That's the first thing. that he wants you to know.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: And the second thing that he wants you to understand
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: is that worship prepares you for battle. If Mary had
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: not worshiped like she did when she did.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: And prepared her heart for what.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: She was to face. Though she still had trauma to
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: come in her life. If she hadn't have been a worshiper,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: she wouldn't have been able to persevere through the test
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: and through the storm.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Now, listen, I don't care what you say. Some of you,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: if you had not been.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: A worshiper and all of the things that you've been through,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you would have lost your mind. If it wasn't for
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: a song that the Lord gave you, even if couldn't
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: nobody play it for you, if you had to hum
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: it and it was out of tune, if it wasn't
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: for the fact that you loved the Lord when you
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: went through that last test, you wouldn't have even made it.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: If it wasn't for the fact that you really had
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: a communion with God, other people have blown their brains.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: Out, gone crazy and drove the car off the cliff,
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: but because you.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Were worshiping and preparing your heart when you passed through
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the waters, he was with you.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Touch your neighbor and tell him you can't stop me.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I'm a worshiper.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Don't let anybody stop you from worshiping God. Don't let
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: anybody give you a hang up about worshiping God. I
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: don't let anybody criticize the way I worship God. I
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: just worship and let them look funny if they want to.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I worship God.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: If you don't like me, get up and move because
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: I will worship God.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I am so radical, I will dance right on top
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: of your pocketbook. I will leap right over top of
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: your Bible.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Because when I think of.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: The goodness of Jesus and all that the Lord has
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: done for me, I can't help it, I just go
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: wild about it.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Mary was a worshiper. She was a worshiper. And yet
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: she had a struggle in her house.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: And she did what any real worshiper will do when
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: you're under attack. No home remedies are working. No medicine
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: is working. She says, this isn't a job for chicken
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: noodle soup. This is no job for onion souffle and
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: grandma's tonic.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: This is a job for Jesus. There are some.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Things that you encounter that is no need in calling
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: everybody and asking them, what do you think.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I should do?
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: And what do you think I should do? How do
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: you feel about that dilemma? How do you, there are
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: some things that when you face them, you know, this
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: is a job for Jesus. I just need Jesus. I
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: need the Lord to step into this situation and deal
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: with this trauma and deal with this situation. And so
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: everybody ought to know how to get in touch with Jesus.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Whether you can sing or not or preach or not
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: or whether you.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Know any Greek or any Hebrew, it's important that you
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: keep the.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Number by the phone for emergencies. You've got to be
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: able to.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: Get in touch with Jesus.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: And so she sent for Jesus. Lazarus, hang in there.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Hang in there. Hang in there. Jesus is coming. How
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: do you know? I sent for him. He's coming.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: I sent for him. He is going to come. You know,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: this is his house anyway. And he's come when all
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: was well. Surely he will come now. We've invested him.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: We've fed him. We've invested into him. We've ministered to him.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I've bathed his feet. I have a special relationship with him.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: He'll come. I'm a tither. Surely he'll come. Hang in there.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Hang in there. Jesus is coming. Jesus is coming. I
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: don't know what time, but he'll be here. No, no, no, no, no.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Don't give up. Don't give up. Don't give up. He's coming.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: He's coming. He'll be here soon. He'll be here. He'll
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: be here. I said for him. I said for him.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: He's coming. He's our pastor. He's coming. He'll be here.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: He's our guest. He's our friend. He's our companion. He's coming.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: He's coming. He's coming.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Don't die.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Don't die.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: He's coming.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Where are you, Jesus? Where are you? Where are you?
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Hold on.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: And Lazarus.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: See, we always testify about when we prayed and the
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Lord answered. But I don't need you to tell me
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: what to do when he answers. I can figure out
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: how to react when he answers. What I really need
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: some help with is.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: What do I do when I call him and he
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: does not answer. Give me more monitoring. He does not answer.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: And I wouldn't mind him not answering if it were
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: not an emergency.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: But this is an emergency. Have you ever had a.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Crisis and he didn't answer? Oh, there's nobody here but us.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: We can talk. The payment was due by the fifth.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: And you weren't worried on the first.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: But now it's midnight on the fourth. What do you do?
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: When it's an emergency.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: And he does not. You prayed the right prayers.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: You went through the seven steps. You said Jesus. You
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: spend a round in the floor.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: You worship. You pray. You sang.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: You did what they said to you. You have all
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: the rest of it.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: And still.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: There are times that you have prayed with all of
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: your might.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: And he does not answer. I was believing you for this.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: I thought you were going to do this.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Where are you, Jesus?
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: My home is in trouble.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Where are you, Jesus? My bills are past due. Where
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: are you, Jesus?
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: We're getting a divorce in the mall.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Where? What do you do when you're having an emergency
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: and you called him and you held on.
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: And still Lazarus died.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: You know how people are when they're sick and you
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: don't come to visit them. You better come or send
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: somebody who looks like you. People will leave your church because.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: You didn't get a word of knowledge that said they
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: had the flu. And send somebody over by the house
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: with chicken noodle soup.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: They'll leave. And this was an emergency. And Pastor Jesus
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: didn't come.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: And I could defend him if he would have sent
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: one of his boys. I mean, it doesn't have to
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: be the head honcho if it's one of the fellas. But, Lord,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: it's going to be hard to defend you about this
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: because you didn't even send Peter, James, or John, or even.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Old Thomas, or Donnie, or you.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Now, this is a problem because as a minister, I
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: am an ambassador for Jesus Christ. Basically, I'm his lawyer.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: My job is to represent him on earth. His job
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: is to represent me in heaven.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: But I'm having trouble.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Getting you off of this. Because they prayed and you
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: didn't come. What makes it really bad about this is
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: that you.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Didn't even have to come.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: If you were tired, you could have spoke the word.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: And it's hard to defend.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: You when it's an emergency, Lord, and you don't do
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: anything at all.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: If this was like the last time I could get
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: you out of it, You remember the last time when
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Jairus' daughter was sick and Jairus sent for Jesus. And
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, I'm coming to your house. But while he
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: was on his way, a woman pressed her way.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Through the crowd, slid on her belly, pushed past people
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: and touched.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: The hem of his garment. She was made whole. I
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: can explain why he was laid.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: There because somebody detained him. But in my text tonight.
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: Basically, the scriptures just say that when he got the
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: word that Lazarus was sick, he just hung around.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: He just kicked back and said you know see you
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: when I see you.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: And it wouldn't have been so bad if the bible
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: didn't tell what he was doing that detained.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Him it basically says Jesus was just goofing around And
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I can relate to.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: That because sometimes I'm having a crisis and it feels
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: like to me that he's just goofing around. Why are
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: you not as concerned about my situation as I am?
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: I want you to panic with me. I want you
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: to ride in in an ambulance.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: With the siren blaring, leap out the car, kick open
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: the door and say, help is here.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: That's what I want.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: I want you to come right now. Never mind heaven,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: never mind the angel, never mind seas.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Or floods or earthquakes. I need you now.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: He did not make it to the house.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Or the house believer if they had one.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: He didn't even make the funeral. He didn't even make
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: the graveside service.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: By the time Jesus got.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: There, Lazarus had been dead four.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Days and here come Jesus. Amen.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Now Mary has a serious attitude. She was ready for
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: him when he walked in that door. He didn't get
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: no perfume or no ointment or no drying of his
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: feet this time.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: She said, Lord, if you would have.
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: Been here, my brother would not have.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Lord, if you would have been here, my marriage would
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: have been spared. Lord, if you would have been here,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have lost that car. Lord, if you would
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: have been here, I wouldn't have had to show. Why
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: didn't you do what I thought you were going to
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: do when I thought you weren't going to? I thought
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: I would have been married by now. I had planned,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I had prepared, I had....
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I thought I would have got that last promotion. I'm
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: the only sane person in the whole building. Where did
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: that drunk get my job?
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Lord, if you would have been here.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Have you ever gone through anything with the Lord where
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: you just couldn't figure him out? Let me see, let
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: me see. Just couldn't figure him out. you missed your appointment.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: I expected to be further along than this by now.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: And the problem I have, can I just talk to you?
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: The real, the real, the real trauma is that they,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: when they sent him the word, they told him It's
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: the Lazarus, the.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: One you love. It's him. The one whom you love.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: He's sick.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: And the Bible says, when he heard, therefore. And it's
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: that word, therefore. See, that's the one that messed me up.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Just the word, therefore. I could have been finished by
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: now drinking the water.
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: It's just the word therefore because when they said that
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: it was the one whom Jesus loved and said when
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: he heard therefore, I thought they were going to say
• 40:55
  Speaker 8: that he hurried to help him.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Because he said, this is what I love. Especially when
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: he said therefore, which means wherefore. And the Bible said
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: when he heard that it was the one whom he loved,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: he tarried. two days still in the same place.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: And so when.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Mary asked him, why didn't you come? In essence, Jesus
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: is saying, I loved you enough to be late. I
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: didn't do what you thought I was going to do
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: when you thought I was going to do it because
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: of how.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Much I love you. What we are looking at, ladies
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, is tough love. The kind of love that
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: is willing.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: To be criticized. To accomplish its purpose. The kind of
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: love that is willing to be controversial. To work and
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: expect it in. He said I loved.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: You too much.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: To do what you asked me to do. When you
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: asked me to do it.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: I've been thinking.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: He didn't get it sooner because he loved you. Knew
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: you were going through trauma, didn't come. But it was
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: love that delayed him. No other person pulling at his garment.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Love told him to wait. That didn't satisfy Mary either.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: She is wroth.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: If you would have been here. And here comes Martha,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: her sister. And Martha does the same thing.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: If you would have been here, my brother would not
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: have died.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: But something kicked in with Martha that didn't kick in
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: with her sister.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: For she said, even now. You've got the power to
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: raise him.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Up again.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know who the Lord sent me here to
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: preach to tonight, but I came all the way from
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: the clay hills.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: Of West Virginia to tell you God's going to give
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: you an even now miracle.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
• 44:18
  Speaker 9: Touch three people and tell.
• 44:43

  Speaker 3: Sell me.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Take me by the hand and lead me to the
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: spot where you got tired, where you got so busy
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: with the work of the Lord that you forgot about
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: the Lord of the work. Who hates you so bad

  Speaker 2: And they led Jesus to the spot.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes when it's stinking real bad, you don't
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: want to show him. how bad it is when you've
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: been abused and misused and you've got pain and you've
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: got anger and frustration. Sometimes you don't even want God
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: to see how hurt you really are. But oh, I
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: come to tell you that he'll come right in the
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: stinky stuff. He'll come right in the tears and the burdens.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: He'll deal with your flaws and your failure.
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: He's the God that'll keep on walking. Nobody else will
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: walk you.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Through it, but the Lord will walk you through your secret,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: your darkest night. Your blackest problem, the Lord. Somebody lift
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: your hand and begin to worship her. I feel a

• 54:37
  Speaker 1: Let him into that place in your life, that burdensome place, that.
• 54:42

  Speaker 2: Roll it out of the way.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Take the brakes off God. Take the limitations off him.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Who told you he wasn't able? Who told you he
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: couldn't do it? Who told you he wasn't Jehovah Jireh?
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: Who told you that he wouldn't deliver you? Who told
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: you he wouldn't bring you through?
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: Take the limits off him.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: Who told you this was too much or too.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Far, too heavy or too long or too late?
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Who told you that God couldn't save that young man
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: who told you that God wouldn't deliver your house, your son,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: your marriage, your.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: Daughter, your finances, your mind, your.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Emotion, your weakness, your perversion, who told you that God couldn't.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Bring you out? Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: Because even in the darkness, you're still God. Even in
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: the stench of death, you're still God. Even in the trauma,
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: you're still God. Even in the crisis, you're still God.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Even in the divorce, you're still God. Even in the bankruptcy,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: you're still God. Even in the burdens, you're still God.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Even in the confusion, you're still God. Thank you, Lord.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I don't know anybody else that would walk
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: through the stinky stuff but you.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know nobody.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Else who I could take by the hand and lead
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: to the secret places of my life.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Lord, I thank you.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: They brought him to the spot. They brought him to
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: the spot. And they rolled the stone away. And when
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: they rolled the stone away, that's when the revelation began.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: Listen to what Jesus says. He prays just a moment.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: And he says, Father, all the crowd has gathered. All
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: the scribes and the Sadducees, Pharisees all have gathered.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: And he's standing there in front of the tomb.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: No oil, no prayer book, no prayer cloth. Doesn't go
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: in and climb up on the body. Just stands outside
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: of the mess and speaks to the mess. And says, Father,
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: I know that you hear me. But for the benefit
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: of them that don't believe, I'm going.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: To call Lazarus out loud. When I read that, I
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: almost leaped out of my socks.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Because suddenly I realized that if.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: He wanted to, he.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: Could have thought Lazarus out of the grave. But because
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: of all the doubters.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: He said, I'm going to call him out loud. And
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: he said, Lazarus, come forth. There used to be an
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: old song out where the singers used to say, he
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: called Lazarus three times. And it made a nice song,
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: but it's not scriptural. Because the God I serve don't
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: have to call anybody three times.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: If he calls you one.
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: Time, Lazarus. I don't care what you're into. I feel
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: my preacher.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Coming out there You can be on drugs, but if
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: he calls you.
• 59:08
  Speaker 5: You got to come out of there.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: Come forth.
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: And somebody said that if he had to call Lazarus
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: by his name, that every dead.
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: Man in the grave would have thought it was a resurrection.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: I can't believe it.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: But I.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: Want to go a step further.
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: There were a whole lot of Lazaruses that were dead
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: in the grave.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: But what God has for you, can't nobody else get it.
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: So the Holy Ghost went in the grave and said, Matthew, Matthew, Matthew.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 6: Matthew, Matthew, Matthew, come here.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: Come here. Come here.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Some of the things that you thought you were never
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: going to get, if you believe God, it's going.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 5: To start leaving. If God would have done.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: It any sooner, your enemies wouldn't have got to see
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: the miracle.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: But he waited.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: He waited until everybody knew you were in trouble. And
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: God is setting you up for a miracle.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: A miracle. A miracle. An absolute miracle. I'm finished. I'm finished.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: I'm finished. Let me tell you this. Let me tell
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: you this.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: I was reading that some of the doctrine of the
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Sadducees was that they didn't believe that the spirit left
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: the body till the third day. And if Jesus would
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: have got there any sooner, they'd have said Lazarus wasn't
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: really dead. But the Lord will wait till all of
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: your critics, all of your enemies, all of.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: Your daughters, all of your neighbors, all of your co-workers
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: know it's impossible. And then God.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 10: Stand up on your feet, I'm crying. Stand up on
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 10: your feet, everybody. Stand up on your feet, everybody. Stand
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 10: up on your feet, everybody. If you got feet, stand
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 10: up on them. This is what I want you to understand.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 10: He is setting you up. He's setting you up for
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 10: a miracle.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: If he would have done it sooner, they'd have thought
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: it was you.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: But he waited. When I come back, I'm going to finish.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: But sometimes the Lord will wait until everybody around you.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 5: Everybody on top of you, everybody.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: Who criticizes you, Everybody who put their foot on you
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: has the sign that you'll never get up.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: But he may not come when you.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: Want him. But he is right on. He's right on time.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: How all of those doubters felt when all of a
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: sudden they heard some go. See, somebody doesn't think you're
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: going to get out of this test. But when you
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: see them tomorrow, just look at them and go.
