1
00:01:12,483 --> 00:01:16,483
And welcome back this week.

2
00:01:16,483 --> 00:01:19,483
Man, it feels like we haven't been here in 2 weeks.

3
00:01:20,483 --> 00:01:21,483
Oh wait.

4
00:01:21,483 --> 00:01:22,483
How does we have it?

5
00:01:22,483 --> 00:01:26,483
Well, it is really good to be back.

6
00:01:26,483 --> 00:01:29,483
I'm glad we we all got to make it back this week and

7
00:01:29,483 --> 00:01:32,483
 getting revved up for Revelation 21, which

8
00:01:33,483 --> 00:01:34,483
 is, whoo, this one's exciting.

9
00:01:34,483 --> 00:01:35,483
I love it.

10
00:01:35,483 --> 00:01:37,483
But how's your week going?

11
00:01:37,483 --> 00:01:39,483
So far, so good so far, so good.

12
00:01:40,483 --> 00:01:42,483
I finally got something settled today, man.

13
00:01:42,483 --> 00:01:45,483
Somehow, someway, last week, somebody

14
00:01:45,483 --> 00:01:48,483
 ordered an Apple Watch from the Apple Store on

15
00:01:49,483 --> 00:01:52,483
 my account, charged my credit card and it

16
00:01:52,483 --> 00:01:53,483
 showed up today at my house.

17
00:01:53,483 --> 00:01:54,483
Wow.

18
00:01:54,483 --> 00:01:57,483
I have not figured out what kind of scam this was.

19
00:01:57,483 --> 00:02:00,483
Or even if it was one, and

20
00:02:01,483 --> 00:02:02,483
 I sent it back today.

21
00:02:02,483 --> 00:02:05,483
It went straight back to Apple today for, you know,

22
00:02:05,483 --> 00:02:09,483
 I don't need an Apple Watch with GPS and cell phone and all this other stuff.

23
00:02:09,483 --> 00:02:12,483
It's $555

24
00:02:12,483 --> 00:02:14,483
 what it ended up being with tax.

25
00:02:14,483 --> 00:02:16,483
I was like, good gracious.

26
00:02:16,483 --> 00:02:18,483
And so I, the best I can tell is that my

27
00:02:18,483 --> 00:02:21,483
 old phone number was still associated with my account and somebody might

28
00:02:21,483 --> 00:02:24,483
 have got my new phone number and tried to order one and

29
00:02:25,483 --> 00:02:27,483
 it linked to mine somehow.

30
00:02:27,483 --> 00:02:29,483
Something got sideways, but they got it back.

31
00:02:29,483 --> 00:02:30,483
They getting it back.

32
00:02:30,483 --> 00:02:31,483
Yeah.

33
00:02:31,483 --> 00:02:33,483
I'm an old analog guy, you know?

34
00:02:34,483 --> 00:02:38,483
Yeah, I, I, uh,

35
00:02:38,483 --> 00:02:41,483
 shed the, the Apple Watch

36
00:02:41,483 --> 00:02:44,483
 and things like that about, uh, 6 months,

37
00:02:45,483 --> 00:02:48,483
 2 year ago, and it's kind of nice when I put

38
00:02:48,483 --> 00:02:51,483
 my phone down, I'm actually not able to be

39
00:02:51,483 --> 00:02:55,483
 contacted if I turn my phone off and set it down across the room.

40
00:02:55,483 --> 00:02:58,483
And I can still know what time it is by looking at my wrist.

41
00:02:58,483 --> 00:02:59,483
It's really crazy.

42
00:02:59,483 --> 00:03:00,483
It's weird.

43
00:03:00,483 --> 00:03:02,483
Is it just big hand and this little hand?

44
00:03:02,483 --> 00:03:03,483
right there.

45
00:03:03,483 --> 00:03:06,483
And hey, the watch I've got right here,

46
00:03:07,483 --> 00:03:10,483
 it even tells me the time, like, I can do a time zone offset on it.

47
00:03:10,483 --> 00:03:11,483
Whoa.

48
00:03:11,483 --> 00:03:13,483
Yeah, it's just, I don't have to have anything special.

49
00:03:13,483 --> 00:03:14,483
out of my league, man.

50
00:03:15,483 --> 00:03:18,483
Oh, how

51
00:03:18,483 --> 00:03:19,483
 are you doing tonight, brother Brian?

52
00:03:19,483 --> 00:03:20,483
Doing good.

53
00:03:20,483 --> 00:03:21,483
Doing good.

54
00:03:21,483 --> 00:03:22,483
Yeah, I've been a rainy day.

55
00:03:23,483 --> 00:03:27,483
I've been in Gadsden area today and it's come a pretty good little storm there.

56
00:03:27,483 --> 00:03:29,483
Lightning, wind blowing.

57
00:03:29,483 --> 00:03:31,483
Yeah.

58
00:03:31,483 --> 00:03:33,483
Yeah, we were watching it.

59
00:03:33,483 --> 00:03:37,483
We were watching the radar at work and watching it come down from,

60
00:03:37,483 --> 00:03:40,483
 it was blowing in from Nashville up that way and we

61
00:03:40,483 --> 00:03:43,483
 were just like, we don't like the storms that come from there.

62
00:03:43,483 --> 00:03:46,483
That's when bad things happen.

63
00:03:46,483 --> 00:03:48,483
We don't like it, but thankfully that dissipated.

64
00:03:48,483 --> 00:03:51,483
We missed some stuff last night because they had said that we

65
00:03:51,483 --> 00:03:55,483
 had some hail coming in from Huntsville last night.

66
00:03:55,483 --> 00:03:58,483
Nicole had got a thing on her phone, said

67
00:03:59,483 --> 00:04:02,483
 damaging wins and hail and,

68
00:04:02,483 --> 00:04:06,483
 uh, but it just rained, you know, it got pretty good rain.

69
00:04:06,483 --> 00:04:08,483
Well, that's good.

70
00:04:08,483 --> 00:04:09,483
That's good.

71
00:04:09,483 --> 00:04:11,483
And we, you know, we needed to rain.

72
00:04:11,483 --> 00:04:14,483
So far, we've had a really light tornado season, haven't we?

73
00:04:14,483 --> 00:04:15,483
Yeah, we have.

74
00:04:15,483 --> 00:04:17,483
I pray that we can just...

75
00:04:17,483 --> 00:04:18,483
Thank you, Jesus.

76
00:04:18,483 --> 00:04:19,483
Yeah.

77
00:04:20,483 --> 00:04:23,483
All right.

78
00:04:23,483 --> 00:04:26,483
Well, I think tonight we are ready

79
00:04:26,483 --> 00:04:28,483
 to dive in with Revelation 21.

80
00:04:28,483 --> 00:04:32,483
So we finished up, uh, 20, uh, 2 weeks ago,

81
00:04:32,483 --> 00:04:36,483
 um, where we, uh, end

82
00:04:36,483 --> 00:04:40,483
 with, um, uh,

83
00:04:40,483 --> 00:04:42,483
 death in Hades being thrown into the lake of fire.

84
00:04:42,483 --> 00:04:44,483
this, you know, that is the 2nd death.

85
00:04:44,483 --> 00:04:47,483
Um, and that if any anyone's name was not found

86
00:04:47,483 --> 00:04:48,483
 written in the book of life.

87
00:04:48,483 --> 00:04:51,483
That person was thrown into the lake of fire, and we were given kind of,

88
00:04:51,483 --> 00:04:54,483
 that's a high level overview of something we will see a little later on.

89
00:04:54,483 --> 00:04:57,483
Is that, I can't remember that.

90
00:04:57,483 --> 00:05:00,483
The these last few chapters start running together in my head every

91
00:05:01,483 --> 00:05:02,483
 time I get into them.

92
00:05:02,483 --> 00:05:05,483
Um, because it's all, it's all happening.

93
00:05:05,483 --> 00:05:07,483
just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, it's all stuff right there at the end where time

94
00:05:08,483 --> 00:05:10,483
 just kind of stops mattering at this point.

95
00:05:10,483 --> 00:05:13,483
And so it gets really hard for me to remember

96
00:05:13,483 --> 00:05:17,483
 the exact order, but we start seeing some more details of that process.

97
00:05:17,483 --> 00:05:19,483
as we move forward.

98
00:05:19,483 --> 00:05:20,483
But tonight.

99
00:05:20,483 --> 00:05:23,483
Um, I love, love,

100
00:05:23,483 --> 00:05:26,483
 love how uh, 21 kicks off.

101
00:05:26,483 --> 00:05:30,483
That is that is just one of my absolute favorite verses in the book Revelation.

102
00:05:31,483 --> 00:05:35,483
So I'm excited to get into that and we start talking about what's new.

103
00:05:35,483 --> 00:05:38,483
Amen.

104
00:05:38,483 --> 00:05:40,483
Yeah, we're getting getting past all

105
00:05:40,483 --> 00:05:43,483
 the all the pain and destruction

106
00:05:43,483 --> 00:05:46,483
 and heartache and here we are.

107
00:05:46,483 --> 00:05:47,483
Here we are.

108
00:05:47,483 --> 00:05:48,483
is the end.

109
00:05:48,483 --> 00:05:50,483
This is where everything in the Bible has been leading it.

110
00:05:50,483 --> 00:05:51,483
That's right.

111
00:05:51,483 --> 00:05:52,483
Amen.

112
00:05:52,483 --> 00:05:53,483
Yeah, it's beautiful.

113
00:05:53,483 --> 00:05:55,483
Kick it off, Dennis.

114
00:05:55,483 --> 00:05:56,483
All right, you got it.

115
00:05:56,483 --> 00:05:57,483
211.

116
00:05:57,483 --> 00:06:00,483
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth for

117
00:06:00,483 --> 00:06:02,483
 the 1st heaven and the 1st earth had passed away.

118
00:06:02,483 --> 00:06:04,483
Also, there was no more C.

119
00:06:05,483 --> 00:06:08,483
Now, this is uh, this is new.

120
00:06:08,483 --> 00:06:11,483
This is not remodeled.

121
00:06:11,483 --> 00:06:12,483
That's right.

122
00:06:12,483 --> 00:06:16,483
This is not redone, like millennium is restored.

123
00:06:16,483 --> 00:06:19,483
This is the Owen had fled away at the Great White Throne.

124
00:06:19,483 --> 00:06:20,483
It's gone.

125
00:06:21,483 --> 00:06:22,483
There's no more.

126
00:06:22,483 --> 00:06:23,483
Yeah.

127
00:06:23,483 --> 00:06:27,483
And yeah, there's several verses that we,

128
00:06:27,483 --> 00:06:30,483
 Matthew 24, you know, tells us in verse 35,

129
00:06:30,483 --> 00:06:33,483
heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.

130
00:06:33,483 --> 00:06:36,483
2nd Peter 3, 7 through

131
00:06:36,483 --> 00:06:39,483
 11, but the heavens and earth, which are now, by

132
00:06:39,483 --> 00:06:42,483
 the name, by the same word, are kept in

133
00:06:42,483 --> 00:06:45,483
 store, reserved into the fire against the day of judgment, perdition

134
00:06:46,483 --> 00:06:47,483
 among godly men.

135
00:06:47,483 --> 00:06:50,483
But beloved, be not ignorant, ignorant

136
00:06:50,483 --> 00:06:53,483
 of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord a 1000 years

137
00:06:53,483 --> 00:06:54,483
 and 1000 years one day.

138
00:06:55,483 --> 00:06:58,483
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as of

139
00:06:58,483 --> 00:07:01,483
 some men count slackness, but is long suffering to us towards not

140
00:07:01,483 --> 00:07:04,483
 willing that any should perish, but also come to repentance,

141
00:07:04,483 --> 00:07:07,483
 but the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night,

142
00:07:07,483 --> 00:07:10,483
 and that which of the heavens shall pass away with a great

143
00:07:10,483 --> 00:07:13,483
 noise, and the element shall melt with fervent heat,

144
00:07:13,483 --> 00:07:17,483
 the earth also, and the works that are therein,

145
00:07:17,483 --> 00:07:20,483
 shall be burned up, seeing then that all things

146
00:07:20,483 --> 00:07:21,483
 shall be dissolved.

147
00:07:21,483 --> 00:07:24,483
What manner of persons ought you to be in all holy

148
00:07:24,483 --> 00:07:25,483
 conversation and godliness.

149
00:07:26,483 --> 00:07:29,483
That's some pretty tough stuff right there, you know,

150
00:07:29,483 --> 00:07:32,483
 like, hey, hey, look, if you're working towards

151
00:07:32,483 --> 00:07:35,483
 anything besides, uh, besides uh,

152
00:07:35,483 --> 00:07:38,483
 spiritual uh, things that that

153
00:07:38,483 --> 00:07:41,483
 we're that we're storing up in heaven, um, everything

154
00:07:42,483 --> 00:07:43,483
 else is going to burn up, right?

155
00:07:43,483 --> 00:07:45,483
I mean, you can get rich here.

156
00:07:45,483 --> 00:07:46,483
Money's gonna burn up.

157
00:07:46,483 --> 00:07:47,483
Your house is going to burn up.

158
00:07:47,483 --> 00:07:49,483
Your cars are going to burn up.

159
00:07:49,483 --> 00:07:50,483
It's all going to go away.

160
00:07:50,483 --> 00:07:52,483
Yeah, store up yourselves treasures in heaven.

161
00:07:53,483 --> 00:07:54,483
Amen.

162
00:07:54,483 --> 00:07:57,483
Where moth and rust cannot get to it, right?

163
00:07:57,483 --> 00:08:00,483
Isaiah 6517 for

164
00:08:00,483 --> 00:08:03,483
 behold, I created New Heaven and New Earth,

165
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:05,483
 and a former thing shall not be remembered nor come to mind.

166
00:08:06,483 --> 00:08:09,483
Daniel 244,

167
00:08:09,483 --> 00:08:12,483
 and then the, and in these days, these things shall,

168
00:08:12,483 --> 00:08:15,483
 the God of the heaven set up a kingdom, which shall

169
00:08:15,483 --> 00:08:18,483
 never be destroyed, and the kingdom shall not

170
00:08:18,483 --> 00:08:21,483
 be left to other people, but it shall break into pieces and consume

171
00:08:21,483 --> 00:08:23,483
 all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

172
00:08:24,483 --> 00:08:25,483
Amen.

173
00:08:25,483 --> 00:08:26,483
Amen.

174
00:08:26,483 --> 00:08:29,483
And you know, a lot of people think they talk about the end of the world.

175
00:08:29,483 --> 00:08:32,483
You know, and we got at least a

176
00:08:32,483 --> 00:08:33,483
 thousand, 7 more years later.

177
00:08:34,483 --> 00:08:35,483
Yeah exactly.

178
00:08:35,483 --> 00:08:36,483
From right now.

179
00:08:36,483 --> 00:08:38,483
From right now, 1007 years.

180
00:08:38,483 --> 00:08:41,483
7 years of tribulation, a 1000 years, the millennium.

181
00:08:42,483 --> 00:08:45,483
Then we don't know how much time's in between, you know, the Great White

182
00:08:45,483 --> 00:08:46,483
 Throne judgment next.

183
00:08:46,483 --> 00:08:49,483
But this, this in 21 is the end of the world.

184
00:08:49,483 --> 00:08:50,483
Yes, it is

185
00:08:50,483 --> 00:08:51,483
This is the end.

186
00:08:52,483 --> 00:08:55,483
And when you when you take those other descriptions of it, it

187
00:08:55,483 --> 00:08:57,483
 to me, it is abundantly clear.

188
00:08:57,483 --> 00:09:01,483
The old heaven, the old earth, this current universe gets thrown in the lake of fire.

189
00:09:01,483 --> 00:09:02,483
Yeah.

190
00:09:02,483 --> 00:09:03,483
I mean, it's just cast in there.

191
00:09:03,483 --> 00:09:05,483
And it, according to this, ceases to exist.

192
00:09:06,483 --> 00:09:09,483
So everybody talks about the temporal things and how, oh, it's just going to see.

193
00:09:09,483 --> 00:09:11,483
No, the thing that ceases is the universe as it is now.

194
00:09:12,483 --> 00:09:14,483
That actually does cease.

195
00:09:14,483 --> 00:09:17,483
It doesn't, it doesn't go in there and then the people that are in there get to live in it.

196
00:09:17,483 --> 00:09:18,483
No, the universe is gone.

197
00:09:18,483 --> 00:09:22,483
It gets destroyed, but the souls that are put in there are a different story.

198
00:09:22,483 --> 00:09:24,483
They are left suffering.

199
00:09:24,483 --> 00:09:27,483
Again, just the nature of how that works.

200
00:09:28,483 --> 00:09:33,483
I think there's probably going to be something rather fundamental

201
00:09:33,483 --> 00:09:35,483
 that God will reveal to us once we get there.

202
00:09:35,483 --> 00:09:36,483
There's a reason for it.

203
00:09:36,483 --> 00:09:38,483
I don't think it's a mistake and I don't think it's him being petty

204
00:09:38,483 --> 00:09:40,483
 or doing it purely for

205
00:09:40,483 --> 00:09:42,483
I'm just doing this to drive home the point.

206
00:09:42,483 --> 00:09:45,483
I think there's a fundamental reason in just the nature of the universe and

207
00:09:45,483 --> 00:09:49,483
 and yeah, I think it has to do with the fact that the universe is gone.

208
00:09:50,483 --> 00:09:51,483
No more.

209
00:09:51,483 --> 00:09:53,483
It's it's finished.

210
00:09:53,483 --> 00:09:54,483
It's done.

211
00:09:54,483 --> 00:09:57,483
The building blocks have just, it's burned down to nothing.

212
00:09:57,483 --> 00:09:59,483
There's a new one.

213
00:09:59,483 --> 00:10:00,483
and then and then the new one.

214
00:10:00,483 --> 00:10:03,483
And that's the amazing part is that God destroys what he made.

215
00:10:04,483 --> 00:10:07,483
And there's a new one.

216
00:10:07,483 --> 00:10:09,483
He just makes a new one.

217
00:10:09,483 --> 00:10:10,483
And it's not like, it's not like this one.

218
00:10:10,483 --> 00:10:11,483
It's not like nothing at all.

219
00:10:12,483 --> 00:10:12,983
There's no more C.

220
00:10:12,983 --> 00:10:13,483
We're going to say.

221
00:10:13,483 --> 00:10:14,483
That's right.

222
00:10:15,483 --> 00:10:17,483
That's that's pretty wild.

223
00:10:18,483 --> 00:10:21,483
So so you're going to have continuous land

224
00:10:21,483 --> 00:10:24,483
 and, you know, and we don't even know if it's going to be round.

225
00:10:24,483 --> 00:10:25,483
We don't do.

226
00:10:25,483 --> 00:10:26,483
We have no idea.

227
00:10:26,483 --> 00:10:28,483
And we got to think too.

228
00:10:28,483 --> 00:10:32,483
That the laws that govern us now, like physics.

229
00:10:32,483 --> 00:10:33,483
Yeah, yeah.

230
00:10:33,483 --> 00:10:35,483
They may not apply.

231
00:10:35,483 --> 00:10:37,483
And we're going maybe a whole set of new set of laws.

232
00:10:38,483 --> 00:10:40,483
And we're going to get here in just a little bit.

233
00:10:40,483 --> 00:10:41,483
We're going to get some shapes and sizes of what we're going to be in.

234
00:10:42,483 --> 00:10:44,483
our permanent dwellings.

235
00:10:44,483 --> 00:10:46,483
The church, the bride of Christ, right?

236
00:10:46,483 --> 00:10:49,483
Have you guys ever read The Last

237
00:10:49,483 --> 00:10:50,483
 Battle by C.S. Lewis?

238
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:51,483
Chronicles of Narnie?

239
00:10:52,483 --> 00:10:54,483
The last book in the Chronicles of Narnie.

240
00:10:54,483 --> 00:10:58,483
And it is, it is the purpose of it was to mirror the Book of Revelation.

241
00:10:58,483 --> 00:10:59,483
That's what it was.

242
00:10:59,483 --> 00:11:02,483
It was, it's showing the last battle, it's showing everyone getting

243
00:11:02,483 --> 00:11:05,483
 to go to heaven permanently, and I love his description of it as

244
00:11:05,483 --> 00:11:08,483
 they're all going in there, and Aslon's, you know, the lions out

245
00:11:08,483 --> 00:11:11,483
 in front of them leading them all in, and he just says, we're just going to keep going in.

246
00:11:12,483 --> 00:11:14,483
And they keep going in thinking, well, this is going to start.

247
00:11:14,483 --> 00:11:16,483
going to start getting close to the middle and it just keeps getting bigger.

248
00:11:16,483 --> 00:11:19,483
And they're like, wait, what's going on here?

249
00:11:20,483 --> 00:11:22,483
And they're seeing it.

250
00:11:22,483 --> 00:11:24,483
We've been running for hours and we don't even feel tired.

251
00:11:24,483 --> 00:11:26,483
It's no big deal.

252
00:11:26,483 --> 00:11:29,483
And it's, and there's more, and there's more, and there's,

253
00:11:29,483 --> 00:11:32,483
 and it just gets bigger and bigger, and I love that description because that's,

254
00:11:32,483 --> 00:11:35,483
 I mean, for all we know, that's what it's going to be like, because if

255
00:11:36,483 --> 00:11:40,483
 it's eternal, and we're eternal, and everything seems, it doesn't have an end.

256
00:11:40,483 --> 00:11:44,483
So I don't know that you're ever going to find the middle of it or the edge of it or the...

257
00:11:44,483 --> 00:11:45,483
Yeah absolutely.

258
00:11:46,483 --> 00:11:50,483
Yeah, you know, see, see kind of represents, in a spiritual sense, separation, too.

259
00:11:50,483 --> 00:11:52,483
We could look at it in that sense.

260
00:11:52,483 --> 00:11:53,483
No more separation from us.

261
00:11:53,483 --> 00:11:54,483
us from God.

262
00:11:55,483 --> 00:11:57,483
Amen.

263
00:11:57,483 --> 00:11:58,483
Amen.

264
00:11:58,483 --> 00:12:00,483
Verse two.

265
00:12:00,483 --> 00:12:01,483
Yeah.

266
00:12:01,483 --> 00:12:04,483
And and I, John, saw the holy city,

267
00:12:04,483 --> 00:12:08,483
 New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared

268
00:12:08,483 --> 00:12:10,483
 as a bride adorned for her husband.

269
00:12:10,483 --> 00:12:13,483
So, um,

270
00:12:13,483 --> 00:12:16,483
 I really believe that this, this will be, this

271
00:12:16,483 --> 00:12:19,483
 new Jerusalem, this holy city, this

272
00:12:19,483 --> 00:12:23,483
 will be the permanent dwelling of the church, I think.

273
00:12:23,483 --> 00:12:26,483
This is not Jerusalem here on Earth.

274
00:12:26,483 --> 00:12:28,483
This is connected to heaven.

275
00:12:28,483 --> 00:12:29,483
This is part of it.

276
00:12:30,483 --> 00:12:32,483
I believe it's connected to it.

277
00:12:32,483 --> 00:12:34,483
It's the place that he went to prepare for us.

278
00:12:35,483 --> 00:12:39,483
And if we go by what we've talked about before, about

279
00:12:39,483 --> 00:12:43,483
 the Jewish tradition of the

280
00:12:43,483 --> 00:12:46,483
 husband going back and adding on

281
00:12:46,483 --> 00:12:49,483
 to the father's house, making it bigger, making

282
00:12:49,483 --> 00:12:52,483
 something new out of his house, yes, we're

283
00:12:52,483 --> 00:12:55,483
 still going to be connected to the father's house, we were connected to heaven,

284
00:12:56,483 --> 00:12:58,483
 but this is our room.

285
00:12:58,483 --> 00:12:59,483
This is our dwelling place.

286
00:12:59,483 --> 00:13:01,483
There's a new head too, right?

287
00:13:01,483 --> 00:13:02,483
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

288
00:13:02,483 --> 00:13:04,483
It's connected to the new heaven.

289
00:13:04,483 --> 00:13:08,483
And it's a place he went to prepare for us, I think, in John 14.

290
00:13:08,483 --> 00:13:12,483
It's a place where we will live with Christ forever.

291
00:13:12,483 --> 00:13:16,483
Um, we we look at this picture of the bride and groom.

292
00:13:16,483 --> 00:13:19,483
It's important uh, for us to to follow

293
00:13:19,483 --> 00:13:22,483
 this in our own marriage, in our own marriage relationships, right?

294
00:13:23,483 --> 00:13:26,483
And he tells us in Ephesians chapter 5.

295
00:13:26,483 --> 00:13:30,483
Um, I know we've

296
00:13:30,483 --> 00:13:33,483
 read this before, but uh, but Ephesians chapter 5, verse

297
00:13:33,483 --> 00:13:36,483
 22, why submit yourselves unto your own husbands and the Lord for

298
00:13:36,483 --> 00:13:39,483
 husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is head of

299
00:13:39,483 --> 00:13:41,483
 the church and savior of the body.

300
00:13:41,483 --> 00:13:43,483
Therefore, as the church is subject unto Christ, let the wise

301
00:13:44,483 --> 00:13:46,483
 be to their own husbands and everything.

302
00:13:46,483 --> 00:13:48,483
Husbands love your wives as Christ, also love the church

303
00:13:49,483 --> 00:13:52,483
 and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify and cleanse it

304
00:13:52,483 --> 00:13:55,483
 with the washing of the water of the word, that

305
00:13:55,483 --> 00:13:58,483
 he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having

306
00:13:58,483 --> 00:14:02,483
 spotted wrinkle or any such thing, but that should be holy and without blemish.

307
00:14:02,483 --> 00:14:05,483
So all men to love their wives as their own bodies, he that

308
00:14:05,483 --> 00:14:07,483
 loveth his wife, loveeth himself.

309
00:14:07,483 --> 00:14:10,483
For no man either hated his own flesh, but nourisheth

310
00:14:10,483 --> 00:14:13,483
 and cherisheth it, even as the Lord, the church,

311
00:14:13,483 --> 00:14:16,483
 for we are members of his body, of

312
00:14:17,483 --> 00:14:18,483
 his flesh and of his bones.

313
00:14:18,483 --> 00:14:21,483
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and

314
00:14:21,483 --> 00:14:24,483
 shall be joined unto his wife, and they too shall be one flesh.

315
00:14:24,483 --> 00:14:26,483
This is a great mystery.

316
00:14:26,483 --> 00:14:28,483
I speak concerning Christ in the church.

317
00:14:28,483 --> 00:14:31,483
Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular, so

318
00:14:31,483 --> 00:14:35,483
 love his wife as himself, and the wife say that she reverence her husband.

319
00:14:35,483 --> 00:14:38,483
I mean, Jesus just keeps

320
00:14:38,483 --> 00:14:40,483
 laying out this picture of that, right?

321
00:14:40,483 --> 00:14:43,483
And he and preparing a place for us and building

322
00:14:43,483 --> 00:14:45,483
 a place for us and bringing us to a place.

323
00:14:45,483 --> 00:14:48,483
And so it's just a wonderful, it's just

324
00:14:48,483 --> 00:14:49,483
 a wonderful, beautiful picture here.

325
00:14:50,483 --> 00:14:51,483
He loves this, don't he?

326
00:14:51,483 --> 00:14:52,483
He loves us.

327
00:14:52,483 --> 00:14:55,483
Wow, and that's nobody can answer the question.

328
00:14:55,483 --> 00:14:56,483
No.

329
00:14:57,483 --> 00:14:59,483
Absolutely not.

330
00:14:59,483 --> 00:15:00,483
You know, it's just who he is.

331
00:15:00,483 --> 00:15:01,483
Yeah, it's who he is.

332
00:15:01,483 --> 00:15:02,483
I absolutely.

333
00:15:02,483 --> 00:15:03,483
Yeah.

334
00:15:03,483 --> 00:15:06,483
Yeah, it's

335
00:15:06,483 --> 00:15:09,483
 a beautiful scene prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

336
00:15:10,483 --> 00:15:11,483
All right.

337
00:15:11,483 --> 00:15:12,483
First three?

338
00:15:12,483 --> 00:15:13,483
Yeah, let's hit.

339
00:15:13,483 --> 00:15:14,483
3 and four?

340
00:15:14,483 --> 00:15:15,483
All right.

341
00:15:15,483 --> 00:15:18,483
And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, behold, the

342
00:15:18,483 --> 00:15:21,483
 tabernacle of God is with men, and he will

343
00:15:21,483 --> 00:15:23,483
 dwell with them, and they shall be his people.

344
00:15:23,483 --> 00:15:26,483
God himself will be with them and be their God,

345
00:15:26,483 --> 00:15:29,483
 and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

346
00:15:29,483 --> 00:15:33,483
There shall be no more death, nor sorrow nor crying.

347
00:15:33,483 --> 00:15:37,483
There shall be no more pain for the former things have passed away.

348
00:15:37,483 --> 00:15:38,483
love this.

349
00:15:38,483 --> 00:15:39,483
Amen.

350
00:15:39,483 --> 00:15:40,483
This is good.

351
00:15:40,483 --> 00:15:42,483
This this is this is it.

352
00:15:42,483 --> 00:15:44,483
This is it.

353
00:15:45,483 --> 00:15:46,483
Yeah.

354
00:15:46,483 --> 00:15:49,483
This is what we're looking for, right?

355
00:15:49,483 --> 00:15:52,483
This is where we see the results

356
00:15:52,483 --> 00:15:53,483
 of the Great White Throne.

357
00:15:53,483 --> 00:15:56,483
There's tears going on

358
00:15:56,483 --> 00:15:59,483
 here before verse four.

359
00:15:59,483 --> 00:16:03,483
And this is why I've talked about this a little bit before.

360
00:16:03,483 --> 00:16:06,483
We've witnessed as

361
00:16:06,483 --> 00:16:09,483
 a church, the terrible fate of not

362
00:16:09,483 --> 00:16:12,483
 only people that we don't know spending

363
00:16:12,483 --> 00:16:15,483
 eternity in the lake of fire, but we also

364
00:16:15,483 --> 00:16:18,483
 have seen loved ones and friends and

365
00:16:19,483 --> 00:16:22,483
 coworkers and even church family,

366
00:16:22,483 --> 00:16:25,483
 who were not truly saved, will find

367
00:16:26,483 --> 00:16:30,483
 that their eternal fate is going to be the lake of fire that we talked about in chapter 20.

368
00:16:30,483 --> 00:16:33,483
In indirect result of that.

369
00:16:33,483 --> 00:16:36,483
I believe we'll see the savior consoling

370
00:16:36,483 --> 00:16:39,483
 his bride here in verse

371
00:16:39,483 --> 00:16:42,483
 four, wiping away her tears.

372
00:16:42,483 --> 00:16:45,483
The former things have passed away.

373
00:16:45,483 --> 00:16:47,483
Everything's going to become new.

374
00:16:47,483 --> 00:16:51,483
No sorrow, no pain.

375
00:16:51,483 --> 00:16:54,483
Like it wouldn't be heaven if we remembered all that, right?

376
00:16:54,483 --> 00:16:56,483
But we've come out of that.

377
00:16:56,483 --> 00:16:59,483
And again, we don't know the space of time between 20 and

378
00:16:59,483 --> 00:17:03,483
 21, but we know that we've just seen something horrific.

379
00:17:03,483 --> 00:17:06,483
I mean, it's, it's, we're, Jesus is

380
00:17:06,483 --> 00:17:09,483
 the judge and he is the one who, who is,

381
00:17:09,483 --> 00:17:13,483
 who is judge and jury casting these people into Lake of Fire.

382
00:17:13,483 --> 00:17:16,483
And and we're sitting in there.

383
00:17:16,483 --> 00:17:19,483
Again, I look at it like a courtroom, you know, uh, we're,

384
00:17:19,483 --> 00:17:22,483
 we're in the seats back here watching this whole thing and

385
00:17:22,483 --> 00:17:25,483
 we're seeing these people come up one by one or however it

386
00:17:25,483 --> 00:17:28,483
 may be and and they're casting the

387
00:17:28,483 --> 00:17:32,483
 lake of fire because they didn't have Jesus because they didn't know Jesus and

388
00:17:32,483 --> 00:17:35,483
 we're going to know these people, some of these people, and it's

389
00:17:35,483 --> 00:17:38,483
 going to be like, 0 my gosh, you know, why didn't I say anything?

390
00:17:39,483 --> 00:17:40,483
Why didn't I?

391
00:17:40,483 --> 00:17:41,483
Why didn't I witness to him one more time?

392
00:17:41,483 --> 00:17:45,483
Make one more phone call, make one more visit, you know, all those things.

393
00:17:45,483 --> 00:17:49,483
And, and we're going to take this into

394
00:17:49,483 --> 00:17:52,483
 this, this chapter 21

395
00:17:52,483 --> 00:17:54,483
And I think there there is.

396
00:17:54,483 --> 00:17:56,483
There's going to be tears in heaven, right?

397
00:17:56,483 --> 00:17:58,483
There is going to be tears up until this and

398
00:17:58,483 --> 00:18:01,483
 he says, I'm going to wipe away your tears and he

399
00:18:01,483 --> 00:18:03,483
 said, everything else.

400
00:18:03,483 --> 00:18:05,483
Our minds are gonna be wiped clean.

401
00:18:05,483 --> 00:18:07,483
Like erased.

402
00:18:07,483 --> 00:18:09,483
We're going to be changed.

403
00:18:09,483 --> 00:18:11,483
Yeah, because I mean, you got to think about this.

404
00:18:11,483 --> 00:18:14,483
Anything, anything bad that happened before that point.

405
00:18:15,483 --> 00:18:18,483
We can't take it into

406
00:18:18,483 --> 00:18:22,483
 heaven with us because that little bit of sadness is going to be there.

407
00:18:22,483 --> 00:18:24,483
So God's like, okay, here's what we're going to do.

408
00:18:24,483 --> 00:18:27,483
Lord's like, I'm you're going to forget all these things.

409
00:18:28,483 --> 00:18:30,483
You're going to know who's here.

410
00:18:30,483 --> 00:18:32,483
You're going to know who they are.

411
00:18:32,483 --> 00:18:34,483
You may know even your relationship with them in heaven,

412
00:18:35,483 --> 00:18:38,483
 but anything bad that happened is all new now.

413
00:18:38,483 --> 00:18:41,483
And those former things, you don't have to worry about those things.

414
00:18:41,483 --> 00:18:42,483
They passed away.

415
00:18:42,483 --> 00:18:45,483
We're going to start from here and we're going to go forward into eternity.

416
00:18:45,483 --> 00:18:47,483
What a beautiful thing.

417
00:18:47,483 --> 00:18:50,483
And two, two, if those things didn't pass away,

418
00:18:50,483 --> 00:18:52,483
 I mean, I'm pretty bad at tempting myself.

419
00:18:52,483 --> 00:18:53,483
to blame Satan for everything.

420
00:18:54,483 --> 00:18:55,483
Don't be gone.

421
00:18:55,483 --> 00:19:00,483
Those those those tendencies, those habits, all whatever it is.

422
00:19:00,483 --> 00:19:01,483
Right. stuff's gone.

423
00:19:01,483 --> 00:19:04,483
Well, I was going to say, the temptations are gone, the

424
00:19:04,483 --> 00:19:07,483
 knowledge, the

425
00:19:07,483 --> 00:19:10,483
 knowledge of sin that we have now must,

426
00:19:11,483 --> 00:19:12,483
 just by definition, be gone.

427
00:19:12,483 --> 00:19:16,483
Now, will we still understand what happened?

428
00:19:16,483 --> 00:19:18,483
I don't know.

429
00:19:18,483 --> 00:19:21,483
All I can say for certain is that

430
00:19:21,483 --> 00:19:24,483
 we are going to be changed and we

431
00:19:24,483 --> 00:19:27,483
 know that we will be like Christ.

432
00:19:27,483 --> 00:19:28,483
I mean, the Bible tells us that.

433
00:19:28,483 --> 00:19:31,483
We don't know exactly what we will be.

434
00:19:31,483 --> 00:19:35,483
We don't know the specifics, but we do know one thing that we're going to be like him.

435
00:19:35,483 --> 00:19:36,483
Now.

436
00:19:36,483 --> 00:19:38,483
Yeah, I think you're exactly right.

437
00:19:38,483 --> 00:19:42,483
There will be a certain amount of certain things will have to be completely removed.

438
00:19:42,483 --> 00:19:45,483
Just certain knowledge has to just be gone.

439
00:19:45,483 --> 00:19:47,483
Or else we can't...

440
00:19:47,483 --> 00:19:50,483
I mean, because like you say, how could you how could you not have sorrow if you still had it?

441
00:19:50,483 --> 00:19:53,483
However, I don't know, maybe our emotions don't work the same.

442
00:19:53,483 --> 00:19:55,483
I don't know what this means.

443
00:19:55,483 --> 00:19:58,483
All I have

444
00:19:58,483 --> 00:20:01,483
 ever been willing to go on this one personally, and this is just me,

445
00:20:01,483 --> 00:20:03,483
 is saying, I just know that he's going to change us.

446
00:20:03,483 --> 00:20:06,483
Well, there's something, and I know that the former things

447
00:20:06,483 --> 00:20:07,483
 are passed away.

448
00:20:08,483 --> 00:20:11,483
And now that, to me, is a very important statement, because like

449
00:20:11,483 --> 00:20:15,483
 you say, it does mean that at least some things have to go away.

450
00:20:15,483 --> 00:20:17,483
They have to, they have to be removed.

451
00:20:17,483 --> 00:20:19,483
Yeah, and there's there's another thing, correct me if I'm wrong,

452
00:20:19,483 --> 00:20:22,483
 but I don't think it's mentioned in Revelation, but the judgment seat of Christ.

453
00:20:22,483 --> 00:20:25,483
And I think that's a cleansing.

454
00:20:25,483 --> 00:20:26,483
Yeah.

455
00:20:26,483 --> 00:20:29,483
In a big way that, that, that once we're,

456
00:20:29,483 --> 00:20:32,483
 you know, wood hay and stubbles burned up.

457
00:20:32,483 --> 00:20:33,483
Right, right.

458
00:20:33,483 --> 00:20:33,983
And the good stuff remains.

459
00:20:33,983 --> 00:20:34,483
Right?

460
00:20:34,483 --> 00:20:37,483
Yeah, I think there, yeah, I think you're going to have cleansing.

461
00:20:37,483 --> 00:20:40,483
I think you're going to have, I think you're going to have,

462
00:20:41,483 --> 00:20:43,483
 it's going to be a great change there.

463
00:20:43,483 --> 00:20:45,483
a new mindset, you know, right?

464
00:20:45,483 --> 00:20:48,483
for eternity and getting you ready for all.

465
00:20:48,483 --> 00:20:52,483
It's going to be a new understanding like, oh, oh, I see that.

466
00:20:52,483 --> 00:20:53,483
I see that.

467
00:20:53,483 --> 00:20:54,483
I did not see that.

468
00:20:55,483 --> 00:20:56,483
Yeah, absolutely.

469
00:20:56,483 --> 00:20:57,483
Yeah.

470
00:20:57,483 --> 00:20:59,483
Oh, man.

471
00:20:59,483 --> 00:21:01,483
Isn't this stupid awesome though?

472
00:21:01,483 --> 00:21:02,483
And we'll be his people.

473
00:21:03,483 --> 00:21:04,483
That's right.

474
00:21:04,483 --> 00:21:05,483
God himself will be with them.

475
00:21:05,483 --> 00:21:06,483
God.

476
00:21:06,483 --> 00:21:07,483
Be us.

477
00:21:07,483 --> 00:21:08,483
I'm not going to say them, us.

478
00:21:08,483 --> 00:21:09,483
Yeah, right.

479
00:21:09,483 --> 00:21:10,483
We, we just people.

480
00:21:11,483 --> 00:21:13,483
Amen.

481
00:21:13,483 --> 00:21:15,483
Yeah, it's just it's just a beautiful thing.

482
00:21:15,483 --> 00:21:15,983
No more death.

483
00:21:15,983 --> 00:21:16,483
death has died.

484
00:21:16,483 --> 00:21:17,483
He's killed.

485
00:21:17,483 --> 00:21:18,483
Hey, man.

486
00:21:18,483 --> 00:21:19,483
Isn't that cool?

487
00:21:19,483 --> 00:21:21,483
death to death.

488
00:21:21,483 --> 00:21:22,483
Yeah, that's all.

489
00:21:22,483 --> 00:21:23,483
No sorrow, no crying.

490
00:21:23,483 --> 00:21:26,483
I mean, and so many people walk around today, you know, and

491
00:21:26,483 --> 00:21:28,483
 you're in this business, brother.

492
00:21:28,483 --> 00:21:31,483
The sorrow, the pain,

493
00:21:31,483 --> 00:21:34,483
 the suffering that goes on in his world today.

494
00:21:34,483 --> 00:21:35,483
It's gone.

495
00:21:35,483 --> 00:21:37,483
It's like the 2nd verse and I'll fly away.

496
00:21:38,483 --> 00:21:40,483
It's like a bird from prison bars is flown.

497
00:21:40,483 --> 00:21:41,483
Amen.

498
00:21:41,483 --> 00:21:41,983
Amen.

499
00:21:41,983 --> 00:21:42,483
Amen.

500
00:21:42,483 --> 00:21:43,483
Just free.

501
00:21:43,483 --> 00:21:44,483
Amen.

502
00:21:44,483 --> 00:21:45,483
Wonderful.

503
00:21:45,483 --> 00:21:46,483
Wonderful.

504
00:21:46,483 --> 00:21:49,483
And verse 5 covers it too, doesn't it?

505
00:21:49,483 --> 00:21:52,483
It continues with this mindset here.

506
00:21:52,483 --> 00:21:55,483
And it says, and he sat up on the throne and

507
00:21:55,483 --> 00:21:58,483
 said, behold, I make all things new.

508
00:21:58,483 --> 00:22:01,483
And he said unto me, right, for these words are true and faithful.

509
00:22:01,483 --> 00:22:04,483
In other words, you can take this to the bank, right?

510
00:22:04,483 --> 00:22:06,483
Can you imagine?

511
00:22:06,483 --> 00:22:10,483
Now, I know we've already been talking about this, but can you imagine he's

512
00:22:10,483 --> 00:22:11,483
 going to make all things new.

513
00:22:12,483 --> 00:22:15,483
How many of you that are listening here

514
00:22:15,483 --> 00:22:16,483
 tonight, including us.

515
00:22:16,483 --> 00:22:19,483
wish that you could start over again.

516
00:22:19,483 --> 00:22:21,483
Do it the right way.

517
00:22:21,483 --> 00:22:23,483
Yeah, do things different.

518
00:22:23,483 --> 00:22:24,483
do things better.

519
00:22:25,483 --> 00:22:28,483
I know that I've

520
00:22:28,483 --> 00:22:30,483
 made some huge mistakes in my life.

521
00:22:30,483 --> 00:22:33,483
I, I, I have not, I,

522
00:22:33,483 --> 00:22:35,483
 all my decisions have not been right.

523
00:22:35,483 --> 00:22:37,483
The things that I've decided to do.

524
00:22:37,483 --> 00:22:41,483
You know, even it's that battle with the flesh.

525
00:22:41,483 --> 00:22:44,483
Sometimes like Paul talks about the things I want to do, I do, and you know,

526
00:22:44,483 --> 00:22:46,483
 I don't want to do, I do them.

527
00:22:46,483 --> 00:22:49,483
Um, But I've done so

528
00:22:49,483 --> 00:22:53,483
 many things that I wish that I could go back and I could fix them or

529
00:22:53,483 --> 00:22:54,483
 I could make a different decision.

530
00:22:54,483 --> 00:22:56,483
Could I do it, yeah.

531
00:22:56,483 --> 00:22:57,483
Yeah, yeah.

532
00:22:57,483 --> 00:23:01,483
One day he's going to make everything new.

533
00:23:01,483 --> 00:23:03,483
There's going to be a new beginning.

534
00:23:03,483 --> 00:23:06,483
waiting for those that love Jesus.

535
00:23:07,483 --> 00:23:10,483
There's going to be a new beginning waiting

536
00:23:10,483 --> 00:23:12,483
 on the other side, right?

537
00:23:12,483 --> 00:23:15,483
There's a place where

538
00:23:16,483 --> 00:23:19,483
 all of our past mistakes are

539
00:23:19,483 --> 00:23:21,483
 wiped away.

540
00:23:21,483 --> 00:23:24,483
All our shortcomings are forgiven

541
00:23:24,483 --> 00:23:27,483
 and forgotten, and a new knowledge,

542
00:23:27,483 --> 00:23:30,483
 and a new outlook on

543
00:23:30,483 --> 00:23:32,483
 everything he has created.

544
00:23:32,483 --> 00:23:35,483
I mean, a new mindset, a new

545
00:23:35,483 --> 00:23:38,483
 strength, a new ability to love, new taste buds,

546
00:23:39,483 --> 00:23:43,483
 new life without troubles, trials, sickness or pain.

547
00:23:43,483 --> 00:23:46,483
I mean, think about it.

548
00:23:46,483 --> 00:23:48,483
think about all the things that are going to be new.

549
00:23:48,483 --> 00:23:49,483
What are some things?

550
00:23:50,483 --> 00:23:53,483
It's just food for thought, but what are

551
00:23:53,483 --> 00:23:55,483
 some things that you look forward to being new there?

552
00:23:56,483 --> 00:23:57,483
Man, no regrets.

553
00:23:57,483 --> 00:23:58,483
Yeah.

554
00:23:58,483 --> 00:23:59,483
No regrets.

555
00:23:59,483 --> 00:24:02,483
You know, I have Satan hit me every now and then with

556
00:24:02,483 --> 00:24:06,483
 something that happened 30 years ago and just deep regret.

557
00:24:06,483 --> 00:24:07,483
Deep regret.

558
00:24:07,483 --> 00:24:08,483
That'll never happen again.

559
00:24:08,483 --> 00:24:09,483
Amen.

560
00:24:09,483 --> 00:24:12,483
I don't live like that.

561
00:24:12,483 --> 00:24:14,483
It'll just be a new, a new day, every day.

562
00:24:14,483 --> 00:24:17,483
And one day, I guess, is one day for eternity is,

563
00:24:18,483 --> 00:24:21,483
 we're going to see that he's our, he's our son and the

564
00:24:21,483 --> 00:24:23,483
 moon and everything else we need.

565
00:24:23,483 --> 00:24:24,483
Yeah, absolutely.

566
00:24:24,483 --> 00:24:25,483
Temptations.

567
00:24:25,483 --> 00:24:26,483
They're gone.

568
00:24:26,483 --> 00:24:27,483
They're gone.

569
00:24:28,483 --> 00:24:30,483
no more temptation to overeat.

570
00:24:30,483 --> 00:24:31,483
Praise the Lord.

571
00:24:31,483 --> 00:24:31,983
I don't need to eat.

572
00:24:31,983 --> 00:24:32,483
Praise the Lord.

573
00:24:32,483 --> 00:24:35,483
No, but we'll get...

574
00:24:36,483 --> 00:24:37,483
Yeah, isn't that awesome?

575
00:24:37,483 --> 00:24:38,483
Look at Jesus' new body, man.

576
00:24:39,483 --> 00:24:41,483
He was like, he shows up in a room, said, got anything to eat?

577
00:24:41,483 --> 00:24:42,483
Yeah, yeah.

578
00:24:42,483 --> 00:24:45,483
But you know, he's

579
00:24:45,483 --> 00:24:46,483
 like, yeah, but it still tastes good.

580
00:24:46,483 --> 00:24:47,483
Yeah, yeah.

581
00:24:47,483 --> 00:24:49,483
And he's fixing up some fish for breakfast.

582
00:24:49,483 --> 00:24:50,483
And can you imagine how good it's going to taste?

583
00:24:50,483 --> 00:24:54,483
And I mean, like, good gracious,

584
00:24:54,483 --> 00:24:57,483
 all the, all the, whatever you can find,

585
00:24:57,483 --> 00:24:59,483
 whatever you can think of, how good it is here.

586
00:25:00,483 --> 00:25:01,483
It's going to be.

587
00:25:01,483 --> 00:25:03,483
I think we'll probably even be able to taste colors.

588
00:25:03,483 --> 00:25:06,483
Yeah, something is just so bright and

589
00:25:06,483 --> 00:25:10,483
 living alive, you know, it's like, I mean, we're

590
00:25:10,483 --> 00:25:13,483
 going to be experiencing things in such a different way.

591
00:25:13,483 --> 00:25:15,483
And when, you know, I always say it.

592
00:25:15,483 --> 00:25:18,483
It's such a difficult thing to put into words.

593
00:25:18,483 --> 00:25:20,483
There's no more time.

594
00:25:20,483 --> 00:25:21,483
Yeah.

595
00:25:21,483 --> 00:25:24,483
So when he says the former things are passed away.

596
00:25:24,483 --> 00:25:25,483
There is no form.

597
00:25:25,483 --> 00:25:25,983
There's no next.

598
00:25:25,983 --> 00:25:26,483
Yeah.

599
00:25:26,483 --> 00:25:29,483
There is no, there's only what is.

600
00:25:30,483 --> 00:25:33,483
And that's one of the things, my honest,

601
00:25:33,483 --> 00:25:34,483
 honest thought on this, by the way.

602
00:25:34,483 --> 00:25:38,483
I think John saw all this from his own eyes.

603
00:25:38,483 --> 00:25:41,483
I think he was literally just gone,

604
00:25:41,483 --> 00:25:43,483
 here it is, because here's the thing.

605
00:25:43,483 --> 00:25:44,483
It already happened.

606
00:25:44,483 --> 00:25:46,483
If there's no time there.

607
00:25:46,483 --> 00:25:47,483
This has already happened.

608
00:25:47,483 --> 00:25:49,483
We're already exceeded in the heavenly places.

609
00:25:50,483 --> 00:25:53,483
That's, and that, that's what the, I mean, when time

610
00:25:53,483 --> 00:25:55,483
 is removed, it's, it's happening right now.

611
00:25:55,483 --> 00:25:57,483
Because Jesus can see us there, right?

612
00:25:57,483 --> 00:25:58,483
It's already there.

613
00:25:58,483 --> 00:25:59,483
It's already happening.

614
00:25:59,483 --> 00:26:01,483
It's already, it's already all this is already done.

615
00:26:01,483 --> 00:26:03,483
And I think all he did was

616
00:26:03,483 --> 00:26:05,483
he just took John and went, here, look at what's going on.

617
00:26:05,483 --> 00:26:06,483
And he just let him see it.

618
00:26:06,483 --> 00:26:09,483
I think he was literally looking out of his own eyes from the

619
00:26:09,483 --> 00:26:12,483
 perspective of being there and then he got back to his body and went, oh.

620
00:26:12,483 --> 00:26:16,483
Unless you got to think about this too.

621
00:26:16,483 --> 00:26:19,483
And in verse in chapter 21,

622
00:26:19,483 --> 00:26:23,483
 John came to the full realization of

623
00:26:23,483 --> 00:26:25,483
 this is about me.

624
00:26:25,483 --> 00:26:26,483
Yes.

625
00:26:26,483 --> 00:26:30,483
I mean, all through here, he's looking, he's seeing these things going on.

626
00:26:30,483 --> 00:26:33,483
There's a battle, you know, there's, there's, there's,

627
00:26:33,483 --> 00:26:36,483
 there's people dying, there's people taking the mark of the beast.

628
00:26:36,483 --> 00:26:39,483
There's people who are being martyred, there's people,

629
00:26:39,483 --> 00:26:42,483
 you know, I don't see myself down there in any

630
00:26:43,483 --> 00:26:46,483
 of this 7 year thing, but there's there's people down there.

631
00:26:46,483 --> 00:26:49,483
And then all of a sudden, you know, he sees

632
00:26:49,483 --> 00:26:52,483
 Jesus coming back on a white horse and he's like, wait a minute,

633
00:26:52,483 --> 00:26:54,483
 is that me coming back with you?

634
00:26:55,483 --> 00:26:55,983
I mean, is that me?

635
00:26:55,983 --> 00:26:56,483
You know?

636
00:26:56,483 --> 00:26:59,483
Is that that looks like that looks a lot like me?

637
00:26:59,483 --> 00:27:01,483
Is that is that an ancestor of mine?

638
00:27:01,483 --> 00:27:02,483
Is that a guy?

639
00:27:02,483 --> 00:27:05,483
You know, is this a great, great, great, great, great, great grandchild?

640
00:27:06,483 --> 00:27:09,483
And then he gets to this part and it's like, wait a

641
00:27:09,483 --> 00:27:11,483
 minute, he's looking around and he's like, this is, I know.

642
00:27:11,483 --> 00:27:12,483
Hey, I know you.

643
00:27:12,483 --> 00:27:14,483
I know there's Matthew.

644
00:27:14,483 --> 00:27:15,483
There's Luke.

645
00:27:15,483 --> 00:27:18,483
There's, there's, there's Moses.

646
00:27:18,483 --> 00:27:21,483
All these people are there and heaven

647
00:27:21,483 --> 00:27:24,483
 is just opening up and it's just coming alive and he's

648
00:27:24,483 --> 00:27:26,483
 like, wait, wait a minute.

649
00:27:26,483 --> 00:27:29,483
Moses was there, but he's here and I was there and I'm

650
00:27:29,483 --> 00:27:33,483
 here and time makes no difference anymore.

651
00:27:33,483 --> 00:27:37,483
Imagine the gear change he sees between 20 and 21.

652
00:27:37,483 --> 00:27:40,483
It's like from down here to straight up, right?

653
00:27:40,483 --> 00:27:43,483
And I was always, I've always wondered too, did he bow down

654
00:27:43,483 --> 00:27:44,483
 to himself and chew himself out?

655
00:27:44,483 --> 00:27:47,483
Yeah, at the same time,

656
00:27:48,483 --> 00:27:51,483
 I mean, the way he's experiencing all this, it

657
00:27:51,483 --> 00:27:54,483
 had to be such a just mind blowing experience.

658
00:27:54,483 --> 00:27:55,483
And here's the thing.

659
00:27:55,483 --> 00:27:58,483
I think it's going to be pretty incredible because I think we're going to see it.

660
00:27:58,483 --> 00:28:01,483
We're going to see the moments when John is looking at it and we're going to be like, huh,

661
00:28:02,483 --> 00:28:05,483
 look on his face is kind of different right now from what it was 2 seconds ago.

662
00:28:05,483 --> 00:28:07,483
That's because that's the old John.

663
00:28:07,483 --> 00:28:09,483
That's not the one that's already...

664
00:28:09,483 --> 00:28:11,483
Like, he's looking at it through different eyes.

665
00:28:11,483 --> 00:28:12,483
And I think, and, hey, is he standing there?

666
00:28:13,483 --> 00:28:16,483
And now he's over there and then he was, and then, and he's looking

667
00:28:16,483 --> 00:28:18,483
 and he's thinking, yeah, I mean, if he sees himself.

668
00:28:18,483 --> 00:28:21,483
And I know we're I know we're just, you know, we're speculating.

669
00:28:22,483 --> 00:28:23,483
We're just speculating.

670
00:28:23,483 --> 00:28:24,483
But if he sees himself.

671
00:28:24,483 --> 00:28:28,483
he's here and he's questioning everything, right?

672
00:28:28,483 --> 00:28:30,483
He's over here, he's like, wait a minute.

673
00:28:30,483 --> 00:28:32,483
Yeah, like you said, he's got this confused look on his face.

674
00:28:32,483 --> 00:28:33,483
It's like what is that?

675
00:28:33,483 --> 00:28:34,483
What kind of beast is that?

676
00:28:35,483 --> 00:28:37,483
And then over here he is, and clearly he knows what's going on.

677
00:28:37,483 --> 00:28:39,483
He's like, wait a minute, I'm smiling over there.

678
00:28:39,483 --> 00:28:42,483
That looks like me and he knows everything and

679
00:28:42,483 --> 00:28:45,483
 I know nothing but just what I'm being revealed here.

680
00:28:45,483 --> 00:28:46,483
I'm just going to put a name.

681
00:28:46,483 --> 00:28:48,483
Ah, shit, I mean, right.

682
00:28:48,483 --> 00:28:50,483
I don't know what none of this means.

683
00:28:50,483 --> 00:28:53,483
I don't know, but goodness, this is good and wait,

684
00:28:53,483 --> 00:28:55,483
 here we are.

685
00:28:55,483 --> 00:28:57,483
We're going to get there one day, you know?

686
00:28:57,483 --> 00:28:58,483
And it's all new.

687
00:28:58,483 --> 00:28:59,483
It is. all new.

688
00:29:00,483 --> 00:29:01,483
It is.

689
00:29:01,483 --> 00:29:02,483
I got holy ghost bumps right now, guys.

690
00:29:02,483 --> 00:29:05,483
I'm telling you, I mean, this is the new Garden of E is what this is.

691
00:29:05,483 --> 00:29:08,483
This body's what it could have been back then, except with instead

692
00:29:08,483 --> 00:29:11,483
 of 2 people, it's millions.

693
00:29:11,483 --> 00:29:14,483
We're going to be able and I'm going to get ahead of myself because we're

694
00:29:14,483 --> 00:29:17,483
 going to be able to experience all of it, right?

695
00:29:17,483 --> 00:29:20,483
I mean, okay.

696
00:29:20,483 --> 00:29:21,483
All right.

697
00:29:21,483 --> 00:29:24,483
Well, and that's the thing.

698
00:29:24,483 --> 00:29:27,483
And the reason I always say it's so hard to talk about it when you get to these.

699
00:29:27,483 --> 00:29:30,483
We don't, we literally do

700
00:29:30,483 --> 00:29:33,483
 not have words to

701
00:29:33,483 --> 00:29:37,483
 describe this because everything

702
00:29:37,483 --> 00:29:40,483
 about our existence is based on time.

703
00:29:40,483 --> 00:29:40,983
Everything.

704
00:29:40,983 --> 00:29:41,483
Yeah.

705
00:29:41,483 --> 00:29:45,483
The speed of light, the movement, where we are from one moment to the next.

706
00:29:45,483 --> 00:29:46,483
All of that is based on time.

707
00:29:47,483 --> 00:29:50,483
We're going to be everywhere and nowhere.

708
00:29:50,483 --> 00:29:53,483
And and and here and there and doing every,

709
00:29:53,483 --> 00:29:56,483
 and it's all happening just at the same instant,

710
00:29:56,483 --> 00:30:00,483
 and I have absolutely no clue how that works or what it's going to look like.

711
00:30:01,483 --> 00:30:05,483
I just know that I have to be new or I go crazy.

712
00:30:05,483 --> 00:30:08,483
We just know this is this is a book of facts.

713
00:30:08,483 --> 00:30:10,483
This is the promises.

714
00:30:10,483 --> 00:30:12,483
This is this is gonna happen.

715
00:30:12,483 --> 00:30:13,483
Yeah, this will happen.

716
00:30:13,483 --> 00:30:14,483
And it is.

717
00:30:15,483 --> 00:30:17,483
it is true and faithful.

718
00:30:17,483 --> 00:30:17,983
All new.

719
00:30:17,983 --> 00:30:18,483
Yeah.

720
00:30:18,483 --> 00:30:20,483
It's rock and he never changes me.

721
00:30:20,483 --> 00:30:23,483
Exactly. him putting his signature on it in verse

722
00:30:23,483 --> 00:30:25,483
 five, and these words are true and faithful.

723
00:30:25,483 --> 00:30:26,483
I'm writing this.

724
00:30:26,483 --> 00:30:28,483
Not, you know, I'm giving this to John.

725
00:30:29,483 --> 00:30:32,483
You can, you might as well say that, that I'm writing this.

726
00:30:32,483 --> 00:30:33,483
It doesn't matter.

727
00:30:33,483 --> 00:30:34,483
John, this is coming straight from me too, John.

728
00:30:34,483 --> 00:30:35,483
Exactly.

729
00:30:35,483 --> 00:30:36,483
And 0 my gosh.

730
00:30:36,483 --> 00:30:38,483
And 0 man, this next verse.

731
00:30:39,483 --> 00:30:41,483
You know, making all things new too, also.

732
00:30:41,483 --> 00:30:42,483
I got hit on that.

733
00:30:43,483 --> 00:30:44,483
He's doing that right now on us.

734
00:30:44,483 --> 00:30:45,483
Oh, yeah.

735
00:30:45,483 --> 00:30:48,483
Yeah, every day, every day, every day, every day.

736
00:30:49,483 --> 00:30:50,483
Yeah.

737
00:30:50,483 --> 00:30:53,483
I mean, the new man, the new man that lives inside of us, right?

738
00:30:53,483 --> 00:30:54,483
ignore sometimes.

739
00:30:55,483 --> 00:30:57,483
Right, right.

740
00:30:57,483 --> 00:31:01,483
It's like, it's like, um, I don't know.

741
00:31:01,483 --> 00:31:04,483
I just see this picture of new man, new man, new man.

742
00:31:04,483 --> 00:31:06,483
Oh man, getting pushed down, pushed down, pushed down.

743
00:31:07,483 --> 00:31:09,483
knee man, knee man, old man getting pushed down.

744
00:31:09,483 --> 00:31:12,483
Every now and then we let that old man creep up just a little bit.

745
00:31:12,483 --> 00:31:14,483
New man has to push him down a little bit more, you know?

746
00:31:14,483 --> 00:31:16,483
And I realized it right now.

747
00:31:16,483 --> 00:31:19,483
We're affected by that and it does creep up.

748
00:31:19,483 --> 00:31:21,483
But here, fullness.

749
00:31:21,483 --> 00:31:23,483
I mean, goodness gracious.

750
00:31:23,483 --> 00:31:24,483
You got a slight preview right now.

751
00:31:25,483 --> 00:31:27,483
We got that Roman 7 battle going on.

752
00:31:27,483 --> 00:31:28,483
That's right, you know.

753
00:31:28,483 --> 00:31:29,483
And then he goes to Romans 81.

754
00:31:30,483 --> 00:31:31,483
Yeah, absolutely.

755
00:31:31,483 --> 00:31:34,483
Therefore, down, no condemnation for those who are...

756
00:31:34,483 --> 00:31:35,483
That's right.

757
00:31:35,483 --> 00:31:36,483
Because, you know, free.

758
00:31:36,483 --> 00:31:40,483
In chapter 7, in chapter 7, he there was a question, right?

759
00:31:41,483 --> 00:31:44,483
And I love this too.

760
00:31:44,483 --> 00:31:45,483
You mentioned that.

761
00:31:45,483 --> 00:31:48,483
in chapter 7.

762
00:31:48,483 --> 00:31:49,483
Oh, saved me from this wretched.

763
00:31:49,483 --> 00:31:50,483
Oh, wretched man that I am.

764
00:31:51,483 --> 00:31:53,483
Who showed the deliver me from this body of death?

765
00:31:53,483 --> 00:31:56,483
And then in verse 8, there's there, therefore now no

766
00:31:56,483 --> 00:31:58,483
 condemnation for those who are in Christ.

767
00:31:58,483 --> 00:32:00,483
Jesus, who walked not after the flesh.

768
00:32:00,483 --> 00:32:02,483
But after the Spirit of God.

769
00:32:02,483 --> 00:32:03,483
Yes.

770
00:32:04,483 --> 00:32:07,483
In that whole chapter, man, who shall separate us from the love of God.

771
00:32:08,483 --> 00:32:09,483
Nothing.

772
00:32:09,483 --> 00:32:12,483
Nothing, nothing above, nothing around us, nothing below us.

773
00:32:12,483 --> 00:32:15,483
Nothing separates us from the love of God.

774
00:32:15,483 --> 00:32:16,483
Because we're already here.

775
00:32:16,483 --> 00:32:17,483
Because we're here.

776
00:32:18,483 --> 00:32:21,483
We are already seated in heavenly places, right?

777
00:32:21,483 --> 00:32:25,483
Man, we're not trying to over-spiritualize this.

778
00:32:25,483 --> 00:32:28,483
This is the understanding that John God in this.

779
00:32:28,483 --> 00:32:31,483
Like, they, like you said, no time it holds

780
00:32:32,483 --> 00:32:36,483
 us back anymore because, man, we are there and we are there forever.

781
00:32:36,483 --> 00:32:36,983
Amen.

782
00:32:36,983 --> 00:32:37,483
Oh my gosh.

783
00:32:37,483 --> 00:32:38,483
Am

784
00:32:38,483 --> 00:32:40,483
Yeah, it's just our brains.

785
00:32:40,483 --> 00:32:43,483
Our brains and these fleshly bodies we've got just haven't caught up to it yet.

786
00:32:44,483 --> 00:32:45,483
And that's the thing.

787
00:32:45,483 --> 00:32:47,483
When you're saved, when you are truly saved.

788
00:32:47,483 --> 00:32:50,483
Key word phrase there, truly saved,

789
00:32:50,483 --> 00:32:53,483
 when you make that decision, when you give your heart to God, one

790
00:32:53,483 --> 00:32:56,483
 of the reasons you can never be removed, you're already there.

791
00:32:56,483 --> 00:32:57,483
It's already done.

792
00:32:57,483 --> 00:32:58,483
The decision's made.

793
00:32:58,483 --> 00:32:59,483
You are in him.

794
00:32:59,483 --> 00:33:00,483
Exactly.

795
00:33:00,483 --> 00:33:01,483
eternal.

796
00:33:02,483 --> 00:33:02,983
That's right.

797
00:33:02,983 --> 00:33:03,483
That's right.

798
00:33:04,483 --> 00:33:05,483
And don't take him bad places.

799
00:33:05,483 --> 00:33:06,483
Exactly.

800
00:33:06,483 --> 00:33:07,483
That's right.

801
00:33:07,483 --> 00:33:08,483
That's right.

802
00:33:08,483 --> 00:33:09,483
Yeah, remember that.

803
00:33:09,483 --> 00:33:11,483
And don't look at bad things with him.

804
00:33:11,483 --> 00:33:13,483
The places that I've drug Jesus to in my life.

805
00:33:13,483 --> 00:33:17,483
Oh, man, the things that I've watched with Jesus right here in my heart.

806
00:33:18,483 --> 00:33:20,483
Yeah, Lord, forgive me.

807
00:33:20,483 --> 00:33:21,483
Goodness.

808
00:33:21,483 --> 00:33:23,483
Yeah, there's therefore now, no God.

809
00:33:24,483 --> 00:33:27,483
Gosh, hip, hip, 6 and seven.

810
00:33:28,483 --> 00:33:30,483
Yeah, 21, 6 and seven.

811
00:33:30,483 --> 00:33:31,483
Section seven.

812
00:33:31,483 --> 00:33:32,483
All right.

813
00:33:32,483 --> 00:33:34,483
Not the 6'7 that the kids are talking about.

814
00:33:34,483 --> 00:33:35,483
Oh no, man.

815
00:33:35,483 --> 00:33:37,483
Yeah, yeah.

816
00:33:37,483 --> 00:33:38,483
Okay.

817
00:33:38,483 --> 00:33:40,483
And he said to me, it is done.

818
00:33:40,483 --> 00:33:43,483
I'm the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end.

819
00:33:43,483 --> 00:33:47,483
I will give the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

820
00:33:47,483 --> 00:33:50,483
He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will

821
00:33:50,483 --> 00:33:53,483
 be his God and he shall be my son.

822
00:33:53,483 --> 00:33:54,483
Yeah.

823
00:33:54,483 --> 00:33:55,483
Not slave.

824
00:33:55,483 --> 00:33:57,483
No, no son.

825
00:33:57,483 --> 00:33:59,483
Co-heirs.

826
00:33:59,483 --> 00:34:01,483
It'll make your head explode, won't it?

827
00:34:01,483 --> 00:34:03,483
Yeah, to try to eat.

828
00:34:03,483 --> 00:34:07,483
Yeah, and it's done.

829
00:34:07,483 --> 00:34:10,483
what it is done, mean on the cross.

830
00:34:10,483 --> 00:34:11,483
Right.

831
00:34:11,483 --> 00:34:12,483
Paid and full.

832
00:34:12,483 --> 00:34:13,483
It's done.

833
00:34:13,483 --> 00:34:14,483
And that's done.

834
00:34:14,483 --> 00:34:15,483
Well, this is done too.

835
00:34:15,483 --> 00:34:16,483
Yeah, amen.

836
00:34:16,483 --> 00:34:18,483
He wrote this in 95 AD.

837
00:34:18,483 --> 00:34:19,483
It was done back then.

838
00:34:19,483 --> 00:34:20,483
done back then.

839
00:34:20,483 --> 00:34:22,483
Yeah, it was done in the beginning, right?

840
00:34:22,483 --> 00:34:25,483
It was done before anything was ever created.

841
00:34:25,483 --> 00:34:28,483
I mean, I was

842
00:34:28,483 --> 00:34:31,483
 done before Adam and Eve ever made the 1st decision to take a bite of that fruit?

843
00:34:32,483 --> 00:34:33,483
There was no plan B.

844
00:34:33,483 --> 00:34:34,483
No.

845
00:34:34,483 --> 00:34:35,483
Plan B.

846
00:34:35,483 --> 00:34:37,483
He identifies the speaker here too, right?

847
00:34:37,483 --> 00:34:39,483
Alpha and Omega.

848
00:34:39,483 --> 00:34:42,483
I mean, that's who it is, just as the 1st chapter of Revelation does.

849
00:34:43,483 --> 00:34:44,483
see it again here.

850
00:34:44,483 --> 00:34:46,483
And here's the thing.

851
00:34:46,483 --> 00:34:49,483
Everyone will be in their spiritual bodies.

852
00:34:50,483 --> 00:34:53,483
So everyone will thirst after God like they've

853
00:34:53,483 --> 00:34:56,483
 never thirsted after him before, which is such a contrast from today.

854
00:34:56,483 --> 00:34:59,483
You know, if we look over in,

855
00:34:59,483 --> 00:35:02,483
 in, in Matthew chapter 5 and verse 6, in

856
00:35:03,483 --> 00:35:04,483
 my, in my blowing this thing up.

857
00:35:04,483 --> 00:35:05,483
Okay, okay.

858
00:35:05,483 --> 00:35:09,483
Matthew, look at me.

859
00:35:09,483 --> 00:35:11,483
Let me switch it over there real quick.

860
00:35:11,483 --> 00:35:13,483
out of me up.

861
00:35:13,483 --> 00:35:15,483
This new Bible thing, man.

862
00:35:16,483 --> 00:35:19,483
I'm used to a certain thing being on a certain side of the page.

863
00:35:19,483 --> 00:35:20,483
I know what you mean, yeah.

864
00:35:20,483 --> 00:35:23,483
But, but,

865
00:35:23,483 --> 00:35:26,483
 okay, so, uh, chapter 5 and verse 6 says,

866
00:35:26,483 --> 00:35:29,483
 blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness,

867
00:35:30,483 --> 00:35:31,483
 for they shall be filled.

868
00:35:31,483 --> 00:35:34,483
We're going to right now, right

869
00:35:34,483 --> 00:35:37,483
 now, we don't always hunger and thirst after righteousness, do we?

870
00:35:37,483 --> 00:35:38,483
I mean, we've got this

871
00:35:38,483 --> 00:35:41,483
we've got that old flesh that keeps creeping up and

872
00:35:41,483 --> 00:35:44,483
 and and but he tells us that everything and

873
00:35:44,483 --> 00:35:47,483
 and I think tonight I feel like tonight as we,

874
00:35:47,483 --> 00:35:50,483
 as we go through this and we're so excited right now, everyone

875
00:35:50,483 --> 00:35:53,483
 of us sitting here so excited and I can,

876
00:35:54,483 --> 00:35:55,483
 we're hungering after it right now.

877
00:35:55,483 --> 00:35:58,483
I mean, when you read about it, you get hungry for it.

878
00:35:58,483 --> 00:36:01,483
It's like, it's like going, it's like here for me.

879
00:36:01,483 --> 00:36:03,483
You know, I go to open up a menu and I say, hmm,

880
00:36:03,483 --> 00:36:06,483
 wow, there's, there's a, there's a, there's

881
00:36:07,483 --> 00:36:08,483
 a 14 ounce ribeye.

882
00:36:08,483 --> 00:36:09,483
you know, right there.

883
00:36:10,483 --> 00:36:12,483
just reading about it.

884
00:36:12,483 --> 00:36:13,483
makes me hungry, right?

885
00:36:13,483 --> 00:36:15,483
Yeah, well, let's, yeah.

886
00:36:16,483 --> 00:36:17,483
24 whatever.

887
00:36:17,483 --> 00:36:19,483
Yeah, yeah.

888
00:36:19,483 --> 00:36:21,483
I'm trying to...

889
00:36:22,483 --> 00:36:24,483
But you read about it and you start thinking about you.

890
00:36:24,483 --> 00:36:26,483
You talk about it, you start thinking about it.

891
00:36:26,483 --> 00:36:29,483
You know, you start huggering accurate.

892
00:36:29,483 --> 00:36:32,483
I hadn't had anything today, but a

893
00:36:32,483 --> 00:36:34,483
 little shake, a little protein shake.

894
00:36:34,483 --> 00:36:36,483
So, you know, I'm kind of getting hungry right now.

895
00:36:36,483 --> 00:36:39,483
But then again, I'm not.

896
00:36:39,483 --> 00:36:41,483
I mean, I'm thinking about Jesus right now and those

897
00:36:42,483 --> 00:36:45,483
 that hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled.

898
00:36:45,483 --> 00:36:47,483
And when we get here, the things that are holding us back,

899
00:36:48,483 --> 00:36:51,483
 those bad thoughts, those, those, uh, those things that,

900
00:36:51,483 --> 00:36:54,483
 that, that, that, we're going, those things we've talked about

901
00:36:54,483 --> 00:36:58,483
 before, you're going down the road and this thought hits you and you're like, where in the world did that come from?

902
00:36:58,483 --> 00:37:00,483
I have to worry about that.

903
00:37:00,483 --> 00:37:03,483
You know, like I'm going to be, my mind's going to be on Christ.

904
00:37:03,483 --> 00:37:06,483
My body's gonna, my body is, is, is for

905
00:37:06,483 --> 00:37:09,483
 him and with him, and it belongs to him, and

906
00:37:10,483 --> 00:37:13,483
 nothing in me is going to be impure anymore.

907
00:37:13,483 --> 00:37:16,483
So I'm going to continually forever

908
00:37:16,483 --> 00:37:19,483
 for 1000000s

909
00:37:20,483 --> 00:37:23,483
 and 1000000s of years and then eternity on top of that, I

910
00:37:23,483 --> 00:37:26,483
 am going to focus on and hunger after Jesus.

911
00:37:26,483 --> 00:37:27,483
Amen.

912
00:37:27,483 --> 00:37:28,483
Here's another Romans 8, man.

913
00:37:28,483 --> 00:37:31,483
Romans 829 for whom he foreknew, he also predestined

914
00:37:32,483 --> 00:37:35,483
 to be conformed to the image of his son, that he

915
00:37:35,483 --> 00:37:36,483
 might be the firstborn among me.

916
00:37:36,483 --> 00:37:37,483
Yes, yes.

917
00:37:37,483 --> 00:37:38,483
Just like him.

918
00:37:38,483 --> 00:37:39,483
Amen.

919
00:37:39,483 --> 00:37:41,483
Just exactly like...

920
00:37:41,483 --> 00:37:42,483
Think he thinks.

921
00:37:42,483 --> 00:37:43,483
Yeah, what he would be.

922
00:37:43,483 --> 00:37:46,483
God, but we're going to be with God and we're with hunger after God.

923
00:37:46,483 --> 00:37:48,483
What a wonderful and beautiful pitcher.

924
00:37:48,483 --> 00:37:50,483
I want to say something controversial here too.

925
00:37:50,483 --> 00:37:53,483
But this right here is where hope dies.

926
00:37:53,483 --> 00:37:54,483
Yeah.

927
00:37:54,483 --> 00:37:55,483
don't need it anymore.

928
00:37:55,483 --> 00:37:56,483
Yeah, yeah.

929
00:37:57,483 --> 00:37:58,483
It's fulfilled.

930
00:37:58,483 --> 00:38:00,483
Because hope in the Bible is not something like, man, I

931
00:38:00,483 --> 00:38:01,483
 hope my tire don't go flat.

932
00:38:02,483 --> 00:38:05,483
I hope this or hope that we just flip it around.

933
00:38:05,483 --> 00:38:07,483
Hoping the Bible is a sure thing.

934
00:38:07,483 --> 00:38:08,483
It has not happened yet.

935
00:38:08,483 --> 00:38:09,483
It's a promise.

936
00:38:09,483 --> 00:38:10,483
We're waiting to see

937
00:38:10,483 --> 00:38:13,483
It's like the song says it ends in sight, right?

938
00:38:13,483 --> 00:38:16,483
Hope will end in sight.

939
00:38:16,483 --> 00:38:19,483
Because they're, it's like, whoa, okay, everything that he said.

940
00:38:19,483 --> 00:38:22,483
I'm not I'm not down there wishing I was up here.

941
00:38:22,483 --> 00:38:25,483
I'm up here knowing that I'm here forever, forever.

942
00:38:25,483 --> 00:38:26,483
Oh my goodness.

943
00:38:26,483 --> 00:38:28,483
We're not waiting, frustrated.

944
00:38:28,483 --> 00:38:30,483
Oh, man, if God just tell me what to do now.

945
00:38:30,483 --> 00:38:31,483
It's like, well, no.

946
00:38:31,483 --> 00:38:32,483
Yeah, yeah.

947
00:38:32,483 --> 00:38:33,483
Hey, amen.

948
00:38:34,483 --> 00:38:38,483
At this point, we will be overcomers

949
00:38:38,483 --> 00:38:41,483
 because of our faith and the blood of Jesus Christ,

950
00:38:41,483 --> 00:38:43,483
 he is the lamb of God, right?

951
00:38:43,483 --> 00:38:46,483
I mean, for whatsoever is born of God.

952
00:38:46,483 --> 00:38:48,483
The 1st John 54, for whatsoever is born of God, overcometh

953
00:38:49,483 --> 00:38:53,483
 the world, and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

954
00:38:53,483 --> 00:38:55,483
Our faith has ended inside.

955
00:38:55,483 --> 00:38:56,483
Our hope has ended inside.

956
00:38:57,483 --> 00:38:58,483
We're there now.

957
00:38:58,483 --> 00:38:59,483
We're there now.

958
00:39:00,483 --> 00:39:02,483
We're seated in that heavenly place.

959
00:39:02,483 --> 00:39:05,483
And at this point, we will all be sons

960
00:39:05,483 --> 00:39:08,483
 of God for the same reason to

961
00:39:08,483 --> 00:39:10,483
 glorify the son.

962
00:39:10,483 --> 00:39:12,483
But as many as receive him.

963
00:39:12,483 --> 00:39:14,483
John 112 for as many as received him, to them

964
00:39:15,483 --> 00:39:18,483
 gave he power to become the sons of God, even

965
00:39:18,483 --> 00:39:20,483
 to them that believe on his name.

966
00:39:20,483 --> 00:39:22,483
That's us.

967
00:39:22,483 --> 00:39:23,483
Amen.

968
00:39:23,483 --> 00:39:24,483
That's who we are.

969
00:39:24,483 --> 00:39:27,483
who we are now, right?

970
00:39:27,483 --> 00:39:29,483
I mean, that's who we are now.

971
00:39:29,483 --> 00:39:30,483
He has already saved us.

972
00:39:30,483 --> 00:39:31,483
We're sons of God.

973
00:39:31,483 --> 00:39:35,483
And with that, with that comes the privilege of inheritance, right?

974
00:39:35,483 --> 00:39:37,483
In Romans eight, right?

975
00:39:37,483 --> 00:39:39,483
Romans 8, 16 through 8.

976
00:39:39,483 --> 00:39:40,483
Love it, chapter.

977
00:39:40,483 --> 00:39:41,483
Gosh, I mean, that's awesome.

978
00:39:41,483 --> 00:39:44,483
The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to

979
00:39:44,483 --> 00:39:47,483
 be compared to the glory that shall be revealed in us.

980
00:39:48,483 --> 00:39:51,483
That's where all this is coming too, right?

981
00:39:51,483 --> 00:39:52,483
Your sons, then heirs.

982
00:39:53,483 --> 00:39:54,483
Yes, yes.

983
00:39:54,483 --> 00:39:55,483
If we

984
00:39:55,483 --> 00:39:59,483
suffer with him that we may be glorified together with him, right?

985
00:39:59,483 --> 00:40:01,483
Hallelujah.

986
00:40:01,483 --> 00:40:03,483
That's awesome.

987
00:40:03,483 --> 00:40:05,483
I don't know why, man, I love it.

988
00:40:05,483 --> 00:40:06,483
I love it.

989
00:40:06,483 --> 00:40:07,483
I love it.

990
00:40:07,483 --> 00:40:10,483
I don't even know how good it's going to be,

991
00:40:10,483 --> 00:40:11,483
 but I know it's going to be good.

992
00:40:11,483 --> 00:40:13,483
And it's an open invitation, man.

993
00:40:13,483 --> 00:40:16,483
He says, he says, I will give the fountain

994
00:40:16,483 --> 00:40:18,483
 of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

995
00:40:19,483 --> 00:40:20,483
Amen.

996
00:40:20,483 --> 00:40:21,483
It says again, come.

997
00:40:21,483 --> 00:40:22,483
Come.

998
00:40:22,483 --> 00:40:23,483
and join in this.

999
00:40:24,483 --> 00:40:27,483
The water, the water of life.

1000
00:40:27,483 --> 00:40:29,483
Given without cost.

1001
00:40:29,483 --> 00:40:32,483
Without requirement other than just

1002
00:40:32,483 --> 00:40:34,483
 be thirsty for it.

1003
00:40:35,483 --> 00:40:36,483
All you got to do is drink.

1004
00:40:36,483 --> 00:40:39,483
Well, that brother Brian, that's work.

1005
00:40:39,483 --> 00:40:40,483
Yeah.

1006
00:40:40,483 --> 00:40:42,483
No, it ain't.

1007
00:40:42,483 --> 00:40:43,483
Believing ain't a work.

1008
00:40:44,483 --> 00:40:45,483
Amen.

1009
00:40:45,483 --> 00:40:46,483
trusting ain't a work.

1010
00:40:46,483 --> 00:40:49,483
And by the way, do you notice what he says there?

1011
00:40:49,483 --> 00:40:51,483
He says, I will give unto him.

1012
00:40:51,483 --> 00:40:53,483
I will do it.

1013
00:40:53,483 --> 00:40:55,483
Not, you will go draw it out yourself.

1014
00:40:55,483 --> 00:40:57,483
Not you're gonna go.

1015
00:40:57,483 --> 00:40:59,483
you're gonna go have to dig in there and get it.

1016
00:40:59,483 --> 00:41:00,483
I'll give it to you.

1017
00:41:01,483 --> 00:41:03,483
And this is the reason.

1018
00:41:03,483 --> 00:41:05,483
This is why 1st John 3 too.

1019
00:41:05,483 --> 00:41:07,483
Beloved, now we are sons of God, and

1020
00:41:07,483 --> 00:41:09,483
 it doth not yet appear what we shall be.

1021
00:41:10,483 --> 00:41:13,483
We don't know it fully yet, but we know,

1022
00:41:13,483 --> 00:41:14,483
 we know this now.

1023
00:41:14,483 --> 00:41:17,483
We have this knowledge and the word of God right now.

1024
00:41:17,483 --> 00:41:18,483
Guys.

1025
00:41:18,483 --> 00:41:20,483
Listen, I'm telling you, you don't have to wonder about this.

1026
00:41:21,483 --> 00:41:23,483
You can stand on his truth.

1027
00:41:23,483 --> 00:41:24,483
He was true and faithful.

1028
00:41:24,483 --> 00:41:27,483
We shall, we, we don't know yet what we shall be,

1029
00:41:27,483 --> 00:41:30,483
 but we shall, when he shall appear, we shall

1030
00:41:30,483 --> 00:41:33,483
 be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

1031
00:41:33,483 --> 00:41:34,483
Amen.

1032
00:41:34,483 --> 00:41:34,983
Praise God.

1033
00:41:34,983 --> 00:41:35,483
Woo.

1034
00:41:36,483 --> 00:41:37,483
Amen.

1035
00:41:37,483 --> 00:41:38,483
Praise God.

1036
00:41:38,483 --> 00:41:39,483
Amen.

1037
00:41:39,483 --> 00:41:40,483
Man.

1038
00:41:40,483 --> 00:41:42,483
Praise the Lord.

1039
00:41:42,483 --> 00:41:44,483
I'm not going to be like this forever.

1040
00:41:44,483 --> 00:41:45,483
Praise the Lord.

1041
00:41:45,483 --> 00:41:48,483
I'm not going to have this this carnal mindset forever.

1042
00:41:49,483 --> 00:41:52,483
This, this, this mindset of, of, of,

1043
00:41:52,483 --> 00:41:54,483
 of, that, oh, my goodness.

1044
00:41:54,483 --> 00:41:56,483
I wallow in my sins, right?

1045
00:41:56,483 --> 00:42:00,483
Listen, even if I don't sin anymore, Satan

1046
00:42:00,483 --> 00:42:03,483
 wants to bring me back to those sin, he's not going to be

1047
00:42:03,483 --> 00:42:06,483
 able to do this anymore because the former things have passed away and

1048
00:42:06,483 --> 00:42:08,483
 now all things have become new.

1049
00:42:08,483 --> 00:42:12,483
There's not going to be them over there nipping at my heel saying, Brian, you remember what you did?

1050
00:42:12,483 --> 00:42:13,483
Do you remember what you drank?

1051
00:42:13,483 --> 00:42:14,483
You remember what you said?

1052
00:42:14,483 --> 00:42:17,483
No, that's not going to happen anymore because I no,

1053
00:42:17,483 --> 00:42:20,483
 no, I don't remember those things anymore because they've all passed away.

1054
00:42:20,483 --> 00:42:22,483
I'm a child of God.

1055
00:42:22,483 --> 00:42:23,483
I'm a son of God.

1056
00:42:23,483 --> 00:42:27,483
I don't know what it's going to look like, but I know it's going to look better what it looks like now.

1057
00:42:27,483 --> 00:42:28,483
Amen.

1058
00:42:28,483 --> 00:42:31,483
And all this all this stuff is why sometimes it

1059
00:42:31,483 --> 00:42:34,483
 bothers me when somebody else said, well, I'm just an old sinner.

1060
00:42:34,483 --> 00:42:36,483
No, you're not.

1061
00:42:36,483 --> 00:42:37,483
Yeah, yeah.

1062
00:42:37,483 --> 00:42:39,483
You're a child of the living God and we got to act like...

1063
00:42:39,483 --> 00:42:40,483
That's right.

1064
00:42:40,483 --> 00:42:42,483
a royal priesthood, a chosen generation, right?

1065
00:42:42,483 --> 00:42:44,483
I mean, that's what he tells us.

1066
00:42:44,483 --> 00:42:46,483
Gosh, the scripture just comes alive, right?

1067
00:42:46,483 --> 00:42:48,483
I mean, that's who we are.

1068
00:42:48,483 --> 00:42:49,483
That's who we are.

1069
00:42:49,483 --> 00:42:51,483
Stop, stop.

1070
00:42:51,483 --> 00:42:54,483
Stop that mindset now and you'll

1071
00:42:54,483 --> 00:42:58,483
 be able to enjoy being seated in those heavenly places, right?

1072
00:42:58,483 --> 00:43:01,483
I mean, you, you can, you can, you can put,

1073
00:43:01,483 --> 00:43:04,483
 there's going to be times where he's going to push them up in your face and you can,

1074
00:43:04,483 --> 00:43:06,483
 you can, you can remind him.

1075
00:43:06,483 --> 00:43:08,483
You can remind him who you are.

1076
00:43:08,483 --> 00:43:11,483
You can remind him that you're more than conquers through Jesus Christ.

1077
00:43:11,483 --> 00:43:15,483
You can remind him that the former things are passed away and all things are going to become new.

1078
00:43:15,483 --> 00:43:18,483
You can remind him of these things because they're faithful and true.

1079
00:43:18,483 --> 00:43:19,483
Amen.

1080
00:43:19,483 --> 00:43:21,483
And Paul, Philippians three.

1081
00:43:21,483 --> 00:43:24,483
But one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind and

1082
00:43:24,483 --> 00:43:27,483
 reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal,

1083
00:43:27,483 --> 00:43:30,483
 for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

1084
00:43:30,483 --> 00:43:31,483
Amen.

1085
00:43:31,483 --> 00:43:34,483
Set your mind on things above, he said.

1086
00:43:34,483 --> 00:43:35,483
Get out of this world.

1087
00:43:36,483 --> 00:43:37,483
Amen.

1088
00:43:37,483 --> 00:43:41,483
And that's what that, yeah, that's that chapter, you just read that.

1089
00:43:41,483 --> 00:43:43,483
I mean, it's about a new mindset.

1090
00:43:43,483 --> 00:43:45,483
It's about reset, right?

1091
00:43:45,483 --> 00:43:47,483
Let's reset this thing because Satan wants you

1092
00:43:48,483 --> 00:43:51,483
 stuck in your sin and stuck in who you used to be.

1093
00:43:51,483 --> 00:43:53,483
And Jesus said, that's not who you are anymore because you've been

1094
00:43:53,483 --> 00:43:54,483
 born again, right?

1095
00:43:55,483 --> 00:43:58,483
You've already had a 2nd chance.

1096
00:43:58,483 --> 00:44:00,483
Your 2nd chance is right now and it's going to last

1097
00:44:00,483 --> 00:44:01,483
 throughout all of eternity.

1098
00:44:02,483 --> 00:44:05,483
You have been born again through the spirit of God,

1099
00:44:05,483 --> 00:44:08,483
 not through flesh and blood, but through the spirit of God.

1100
00:44:08,483 --> 00:44:09,483
You're something.

1101
00:44:09,483 --> 00:44:10,483
There's something new inside of you.

1102
00:44:10,483 --> 00:44:11,483
And here's the thing.

1103
00:44:11,483 --> 00:44:14,483
One day he's going to give us a new flesh, right?

1104
00:44:14,483 --> 00:44:15,483
To go with that new spirit.

1105
00:44:15,483 --> 00:44:18,483
I got the flesh on me now, but I got the new spirit

1106
00:44:19,483 --> 00:44:22,483
 inside of me and that spirit is willing, but

1107
00:44:22,483 --> 00:44:23,483
 the flesh is weak.

1108
00:44:23,483 --> 00:44:26,483
So what I've got to do is pay attention to the spirit and

1109
00:44:26,483 --> 00:44:28,483
 stop paying attention to the flesh.

1110
00:44:28,483 --> 00:44:28,983
That's right.

1111
00:44:28,983 --> 00:44:29,483
That's what he calls today.

1112
00:44:29,483 --> 00:44:30,483
Jesus.

1113
00:44:31,483 --> 00:44:33,483
Amen.

1114
00:44:33,483 --> 00:44:34,483
Amen.

1115
00:44:34,483 --> 00:44:35,483
We have victory.

1116
00:44:35,483 --> 00:44:37,483
Can you imagine what an army would fight like?

1117
00:44:37,483 --> 00:44:39,483
No, and they've already won the war.

1118
00:44:39,483 --> 00:44:39,983
Still fighting battles?

1119
00:44:39,983 --> 00:44:40,483
Yes.

1120
00:44:41,483 --> 00:44:42,483
That's right, yeah.

1121
00:44:42,483 --> 00:44:43,483
Vicious, man.

1122
00:44:43,483 --> 00:44:44,483
To know the tech.

1123
00:44:44,483 --> 00:44:45,483
I keep being killed.

1124
00:44:45,483 --> 00:44:46,483
Yeah, I know the technique.

1125
00:44:46,483 --> 00:44:47,483
I know the move.

1126
00:44:47,483 --> 00:44:50,483
I know I know what I need to do right here because it's I've

1127
00:44:50,483 --> 00:44:52,483
 already I've already seen it, right?

1128
00:44:52,483 --> 00:44:56,483
I've already seen it and I'm going to just carry it out and live it out now.

1129
00:44:56,483 --> 00:44:58,483
That's what it is, right?

1130
00:44:58,483 --> 00:45:00,483
We're living out what God has already ordained in

1131
00:45:00,483 --> 00:45:01,483
 our lives, right?

1132
00:45:02,483 --> 00:45:04,483
This is not about predestination.

1133
00:45:04,483 --> 00:45:08,483
This is all those that will come to him that I

1134
00:45:08,483 --> 00:45:11,483
 don't want anybody to perish, but I want all to be saved.

1135
00:45:12,483 --> 00:45:14,483
That's what he's telling us here.

1136
00:45:14,483 --> 00:45:16,483
And once that happens, once we know him, he said,

1137
00:45:17,483 --> 00:45:20,483
 now you can live out what my word tells you.

1138
00:45:20,483 --> 00:45:22,483
You can live it out.

1139
00:45:22,483 --> 00:45:24,483
You can live a Christian life because you have the power to live

1140
00:45:24,483 --> 00:45:26,483
 a Christian life through the Holy Spirit.

1141
00:45:26,483 --> 00:45:29,483
You can turn away from sin because you're not the same person

1142
00:45:29,483 --> 00:45:32,483
 that you used to be because Jesus lives inside of you and he

1143
00:45:32,483 --> 00:45:35,483
 is the one who powers everything now, right?

1144
00:45:35,483 --> 00:45:37,483
Give control to him.

1145
00:45:37,483 --> 00:45:40,483
Give control to the spirit because it is willing to take you away

1146
00:45:40,483 --> 00:45:44,483
 from the things of this world and seat you in heavenly places.

1147
00:45:44,483 --> 00:45:45,483
Amen.

1148
00:45:45,483 --> 00:45:46,483
Amen.

1149
00:45:47,483 --> 00:45:50,483
Oh,

1150
00:45:50,483 --> 00:45:53,483
 man, it just, it just, to seeing the end of this thing,

1151
00:45:53,483 --> 00:45:56,483
 and that's why some, some, uh, I think it was Alistair Begs that he recommends

1152
00:45:56,483 --> 00:45:57,483
 people read their bebles backwards.

1153
00:45:57,483 --> 00:46:01,483
And I said that the other day, but not word for word backwards, but starting Revelation.

1154
00:46:01,483 --> 00:46:02,483
Look at the end.

1155
00:46:02,483 --> 00:46:04,483
And then go up to the look at the beginning.

1156
00:46:04,483 --> 00:46:05,483
Right, yeah.

1157
00:46:05,483 --> 00:46:07,483
They're about to do, isn't it?

1158
00:46:07,483 --> 00:46:07,983
Yeah.

1159
00:46:07,983 --> 00:46:08,483
Yeah.

1160
00:46:09,483 --> 00:46:11,483
That's what we're doing a podcast.

1161
00:46:11,483 --> 00:46:14,483
He

1162
00:46:14,483 --> 00:46:16,483
 says that we are his children if we overcome.

1163
00:46:16,483 --> 00:46:18,483
The thing is, we've already overcome.

1164
00:46:18,483 --> 00:46:21,483
He's given us he's given us everything we need to overcome

1165
00:46:21,483 --> 00:46:24,483
 and he's made it available to us and he's already handed

1166
00:46:24,483 --> 00:46:25,483
 it to us and he's already done it.

1167
00:46:26,483 --> 00:46:27,483
What is it?

1168
00:46:27,483 --> 00:46:29,483
I think his 1st John says, who is he who overcomes?

1169
00:46:30,483 --> 00:46:31,483
But he who believes it.

1170
00:46:31,483 --> 00:46:32,483
Jesus is the son of God.

1171
00:46:33,483 --> 00:46:36,483
And 0 man, yeah, you tie that directly to the one

1172
00:46:36,483 --> 00:46:39,483
 he that overcomes shall inherit all things.

1173
00:46:39,483 --> 00:46:40,483
Who is he that overcomes?

1174
00:46:40,483 --> 00:46:41,483
He that believes in Jesus Christ, that he is the son of God.

1175
00:46:42,483 --> 00:46:45,483
And we have other things to overcome, but we do not overcome those

1176
00:46:45,483 --> 00:46:48,483
 things unless we put our minds and our eyes on Jesus, right?

1177
00:46:48,483 --> 00:46:51,483
We're like Peter sinking in the water when he looks away from it.

1178
00:46:51,483 --> 00:46:53,483
See it by the renewing of your mind, right?

1179
00:46:53,483 --> 00:46:54,483
Right.

1180
00:46:54,483 --> 00:46:55,483
That's Romans again.

1181
00:46:55,483 --> 00:46:57,483
Yeah, Romans, again, that's what he's telling us.

1182
00:46:57,483 --> 00:46:58,483
Transformed.

1183
00:46:58,483 --> 00:47:01,483
He's giving us a step by step process, right?

1184
00:47:01,483 --> 00:47:04,483
Be ye transformed by the renewing of your

1185
00:47:04,483 --> 00:47:05,483
 mind.

1186
00:47:05,483 --> 00:47:07,483
Right before you said, it'll be a living sacrifice.

1187
00:47:07,483 --> 00:47:08,483
That's right.

1188
00:47:08,483 --> 00:47:09,483
Yeah, lecture.

1189
00:47:09,483 --> 00:47:12,483
Holy and acceptable unto God, right?

1190
00:47:12,483 --> 00:47:13,483
Jesus said deny yourself.

1191
00:47:14,483 --> 00:47:15,483
You'll find life more abundant.

1192
00:47:16,483 --> 00:47:17,483
Yes.

1193
00:47:17,483 --> 00:47:18,483
Way, way more punish.

1194
00:47:18,483 --> 00:47:19,483
Amen, amen.

1195
00:47:19,483 --> 00:47:21,483
He said, I'll give you living water, right?

1196
00:47:21,483 --> 00:47:23,483
You can start living not later.

1197
00:47:23,483 --> 00:47:26,483
I think that is the mentality of the church today.

1198
00:47:26,483 --> 00:47:29,483
The problem with the church today is we have the mentality

1199
00:47:29,483 --> 00:47:33,483
 that we're going to start living when we die and we're going to start living when we get to heaven.

1200
00:47:33,483 --> 00:47:37,483
But he said, I want to give you life and give it to you more abundantly now.

1201
00:47:37,483 --> 00:47:38,483
Right now.

1202
00:47:38,483 --> 00:47:41,483
Yes, you're going to have things that you're going to face and you're going to have to

1203
00:47:41,483 --> 00:47:43,483
 kick off and push back.

1204
00:47:43,483 --> 00:47:46,483
But he said, I can give you to the ability

1205
00:47:46,483 --> 00:47:49,483
 to live a life that I've called you to live and

1206
00:47:50,483 --> 00:47:52,483
 to be a royal priesthood and a chosen generation.

1207
00:47:52,483 --> 00:47:53,483
That's right.

1208
00:47:53,483 --> 00:47:54,483
What was Jesus' main message, right?

1209
00:47:54,483 --> 00:47:56,483
Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.

1210
00:47:56,483 --> 00:47:57,483
John the Baptist the same way.

1211
00:47:57,483 --> 00:47:59,483
Kingdom is here, but not yet.

1212
00:48:00,483 --> 00:48:01,483
that's right.

1213
00:48:01,483 --> 00:48:02,483
It's not in us.

1214
00:48:02,483 --> 00:48:02,983
It's in us.

1215
00:48:02,983 --> 00:48:03,483
Yeah, it's in us.

1216
00:48:04,483 --> 00:48:05,483
Amen.

1217
00:48:05,483 --> 00:48:06,483
Amen.

1218
00:48:06,483 --> 00:48:09,483
Golly, we just gotta remember this stuff, man.

1219
00:48:09,483 --> 00:48:10,483
Yeah, amen.

1220
00:48:10,483 --> 00:48:13,483
And we need to remind ourselves every day, and that's why it's so important to pray.

1221
00:48:13,483 --> 00:48:15,483
It's so important to stay in your Bible and read.

1222
00:48:16,483 --> 00:48:17,483
Yes.

1223
00:48:17,483 --> 00:48:18,483
Amen.

1224
00:48:18,483 --> 00:48:21,483
And the same the same the same message.

1225
00:48:21,483 --> 00:48:23,483
The message has not changed in 2000 years.

1226
00:48:23,483 --> 00:48:25,483
In over 2000 years, since the very beginning.

1227
00:48:26,483 --> 00:48:26,983
The message is the same.

1228
00:48:26,983 --> 00:48:27,483
Yeah.

1229
00:48:27,483 --> 00:48:28,483
Amen.

1230
00:48:28,483 --> 00:48:31,483
I mean, God showed it to him back then.

1231
00:48:31,483 --> 00:48:34,483
Yeah, and the shame of it, man, is that I

1232
00:48:34,483 --> 00:48:36,483
 don't mean anything against religion in general.

1233
00:48:37,483 --> 00:48:41,483
don't go there, but religion obscures a lot of this stuff.

1234
00:48:41,483 --> 00:48:44,483
Simple message of the gospel that we are a child of

1235
00:48:44,483 --> 00:48:46,483
 God, that we need to focus on him and walk with him.

1236
00:48:46,483 --> 00:48:49,483
Abide in him, he said in John 15.

1237
00:48:49,483 --> 00:48:51,483
We do those simple things.

1238
00:48:51,483 --> 00:48:53,483
And don't worry about the rituals.

1239
00:48:54,483 --> 00:48:56,483
Don't worry about all this other stuff.

1240
00:48:56,483 --> 00:48:59,483
The window dressings of the whole thing is you're

1241
00:48:59,483 --> 00:49:00,483
 likely to end up a Pharisee.

1242
00:49:00,483 --> 00:49:01,483
Yeah.

1243
00:49:01,483 --> 00:49:04,483
Yeah, the reason the reason that we get so

1244
00:49:04,483 --> 00:49:07,483
 caught up in the religion, part of it is

1245
00:49:07,483 --> 00:49:11,483
 because we don't we don't live out a biblical

1246
00:49:11,483 --> 00:49:13,483
 definition of religion, right?

1247
00:49:13,483 --> 00:49:16,483
Because the biblical definition of religion is pure,

1248
00:49:16,483 --> 00:49:20,483
 pure and unfiled religion is to help the widows in the orphans, right?

1249
00:49:20,483 --> 00:49:22,483
So it's love.

1250
00:49:22,483 --> 00:49:23,483
It's like it's reaching out.

1251
00:49:23,483 --> 00:49:26,483
It's putting someone before yourself.

1252
00:49:26,483 --> 00:49:28,483
And that's what true religion is.

1253
00:49:28,483 --> 00:49:30,483
That's what Christianity is.

1254
00:49:30,483 --> 00:49:32,483
That's the basis of it.

1255
00:49:32,483 --> 00:49:36,483
But we have turned religion into ceremony

1256
00:49:36,483 --> 00:49:39,483
 and sacramental things.

1257
00:49:39,483 --> 00:49:41,483
and yeah, and.

1258
00:49:41,483 --> 00:49:42,483
Absolutely.

1259
00:49:42,483 --> 00:49:44,483
Oh, well, that was such a beautiful service.

1260
00:49:44,483 --> 00:49:45,483
So what?

1261
00:49:45,483 --> 00:49:48,483
Well, and you get the reset button hit on your life.

1262
00:49:49,483 --> 00:49:50,483
Yeah, yeah.

1263
00:49:50,483 --> 00:49:52,483
Do you really come together with God's people?

1264
00:49:52,483 --> 00:49:54,483
All of them got the same holy spirit you do.

1265
00:49:55,483 --> 00:49:56,483
Right.

1266
00:49:56,483 --> 00:49:57,483
Yeah.

1267
00:49:57,483 --> 00:49:58,483
Yeah, what happened?

1268
00:49:58,483 --> 00:50:00,483
Were you in one mind and one accord during that service?

1269
00:50:00,483 --> 00:50:03,483
Because that's what real, that's a that's a real beautiful service, right?

1270
00:50:04,483 --> 00:50:05,483
It is.

1271
00:50:05,483 --> 00:50:08,483
And now, and I'm going to say this, and this

1272
00:50:08,483 --> 00:50:11,483
 is going to be a touch of a controversial statement, considering

1273
00:50:11,483 --> 00:50:12,483
 what we're about to read in the next verse.

1274
00:50:13,483 --> 00:50:16,483
We've turned

1275
00:50:16,483 --> 00:50:17,483
 religion into magic.

1276
00:50:17,483 --> 00:50:18,483
Yeah, yeah.

1277
00:50:18,483 --> 00:50:21,483
We have turned Christian, modern

1278
00:50:22,483 --> 00:50:25,483
 Christianity has been slowly shaped

1279
00:50:25,483 --> 00:50:28,483
 into being nothing different than

1280
00:50:28,483 --> 00:50:31,483
 the pagan witchcraft that

1281
00:50:31,483 --> 00:50:33,483
 the witchcraft that pagans practice.

1282
00:50:34,483 --> 00:50:36,483
We say the same things.

1283
00:50:36,483 --> 00:50:37,483
Oh, be careful what you say.

1284
00:50:37,483 --> 00:50:38,483
It might, it might just happen.

1285
00:50:38,483 --> 00:50:41,483
You don't want, don't speak that into, into, into being.

1286
00:50:41,483 --> 00:50:43,483
Oh, you got to be careful how you do that.

1287
00:50:44,483 --> 00:50:46,483
And, oh, you can't do this.

1288
00:50:46,483 --> 00:50:47,483
You can't come church wearing that.

1289
00:50:47,483 --> 00:50:50,483
You got to wear the right ceremonial clothes to walk into the, into the temple.

1290
00:50:51,483 --> 00:50:54,483
I go back to what Steven said.

1291
00:50:54,483 --> 00:50:56,483
You think God is contained to these 4 walls?

1292
00:50:56,483 --> 00:50:59,483
He made this whole planet and

1293
00:51:00,483 --> 00:51:02,483
 you think you're going to hold him inside of a temple.

1294
00:51:02,483 --> 00:51:04,483
The problem is, is we think more about a temple made of brick

1295
00:51:05,483 --> 00:51:07,483
 and mortar than we do.

1296
00:51:07,483 --> 00:51:08,483
The temple of our bodies.

1297
00:51:08,483 --> 00:51:09,483
Yeah, yeah.

1298
00:51:09,483 --> 00:51:11,483
sit and think about meditate on that for a while.

1299
00:51:11,483 --> 00:51:13,483
I am your temple, Lord.

1300
00:51:14,483 --> 00:51:15,483
I am your temple.

1301
00:51:15,483 --> 00:51:16,483
The holy of holies.

1302
00:51:17,483 --> 00:51:19,483
He lives right inside, right?

1303
00:51:19,483 --> 00:51:22,483
If you think about that for a while, it ought to open your eyes.

1304
00:51:22,483 --> 00:51:23,483
He's in us.

1305
00:51:23,483 --> 00:51:24,483
He's around us.

1306
00:51:24,483 --> 00:51:25,483
He surrounds us.

1307
00:51:25,483 --> 00:51:26,483
He moves through us.

1308
00:51:27,483 --> 00:51:28,483
He guides us.

1309
00:51:28,483 --> 00:51:29,483
He's our guiding light.

1310
00:51:30,483 --> 00:51:32,483
He is he is walking with us.

1311
00:51:32,483 --> 00:51:33,483
He's holding our hand.

1312
00:51:33,483 --> 00:51:36,483
He's shielding us from all of the things that Satan wants to throw

1313
00:51:36,483 --> 00:51:37,483
 at us forward back.

1314
00:51:37,483 --> 00:51:38,483
He is all around us.

1315
00:51:38,483 --> 00:51:41,483
And we act like nothing's changed.

1316
00:51:41,483 --> 00:51:44,483
And then we get in here and think, well, if I if I say the right words.

1317
00:51:45,483 --> 00:51:48,483
If I do the right steps, if I wave my hands just

1318
00:51:48,483 --> 00:51:51,483
 right, then I'm going to bring God in here and he's

1319
00:51:51,483 --> 00:51:52,483
 going to do something for me.

1320
00:51:52,483 --> 00:51:55,483
Or if I say the right prayer, then this thing's going to happen.

1321
00:51:55,483 --> 00:51:58,483
Oh, if I pray to the right saint and hold the right beads, and I hold

1322
00:51:58,483 --> 00:52:01,483
 the right holy symbol, then this thing's going to happen for me.

1323
00:52:02,483 --> 00:52:05,483
All of that, and I am saying this to me very, very serious.

1324
00:52:05,483 --> 00:52:06,483
It's all witchcraft.

1325
00:52:07,483 --> 00:52:10,483
It's all magic and verse 28 tells us

1326
00:52:10,483 --> 00:52:12,483
 what happened to what happens to sorcerers and those who practice magic.

1327
00:52:12,483 --> 00:52:13,483
It is not good.

1328
00:52:13,483 --> 00:52:14,483
It is not nice.

1329
00:52:14,483 --> 00:52:17,483
We need to absolutely banish that from

1330
00:52:17,483 --> 00:52:19,483
 our thoughts as Christians.

1331
00:52:19,483 --> 00:52:23,483
What we are called to be is selfless followers

1332
00:52:23,483 --> 00:52:26,483
 of the son of the living God who died

1333
00:52:26,483 --> 00:52:29,483
 on the cross for our sins and saved us

1334
00:52:29,483 --> 00:52:32,483
 from from what from a

1335
00:52:32,483 --> 00:52:33,483
 destruction.

1336
00:52:33,483 --> 00:52:35,483
He saved us from the 2nd death.

1337
00:52:35,483 --> 00:52:37,483
We've talked about this.

1338
00:52:37,483 --> 00:52:40,483
I know we've talked about this before, but in going along

1339
00:52:40,483 --> 00:52:43,483
 with what you're saying, I mean, it's like, you

1340
00:52:43,483 --> 00:52:46,483
 know, if I sing that certain song, because we

1341
00:52:46,483 --> 00:52:49,483
 had a good service, we connect that song with a

1342
00:52:49,483 --> 00:52:50,483
 good service, like, right?

1343
00:52:50,483 --> 00:52:53,483
We sang whatever number in

1344
00:52:53,483 --> 00:52:56,483
 the book that week and right after we

1345
00:52:57,483 --> 00:53:00,483
 sang that, the Holy Spirit broke out and it

1346
00:53:00,483 --> 00:53:03,483
 was really good, you know, so let's sing it again next week and the

1347
00:53:03,483 --> 00:53:04,483
 Holy Spirit will show up again.

1348
00:53:04,483 --> 00:53:05,483
And that's another thing.

1349
00:53:05,483 --> 00:53:07,483
We'll talk about the Holy Spirit showing up.

1350
00:53:08,483 --> 00:53:09,483
Showing up.

1351
00:53:09,483 --> 00:53:10,483
What do we got here?

1352
00:53:10,483 --> 00:53:12,483
I mean, he better be with you.

1353
00:53:12,483 --> 00:53:14,483
If he's not in this place.

1354
00:53:14,483 --> 00:53:15,483
That's right.

1355
00:53:15,483 --> 00:53:19,483
If he didn't show up when you walked in the door, something's wrong.

1356
00:53:20,483 --> 00:53:23,483
You'd better check yourself before you wreck yourself, amen.

1357
00:53:23,483 --> 00:53:24,483
I mean come on.

1358
00:53:24,483 --> 00:53:26,483
I mean, and that's the thing.

1359
00:53:26,483 --> 00:53:29,483
And I know that, and the reason I say that's a controversial thing

1360
00:53:29,483 --> 00:53:32,483
 because I know there are people out there that they get really worked up

1361
00:53:33,483 --> 00:53:36,483
 thinking about, you know, saying that, oh, well, no, but we got to

1362
00:53:36,483 --> 00:53:38,483
 do these certain things in order to bring God in.

1363
00:53:38,483 --> 00:53:39,483
And I'm like, liturgical stuff.

1364
00:53:39,483 --> 00:53:41,483
No, yeah, exactly.

1365
00:53:42,483 --> 00:53:45,483
And it's like, either he comes, either he is with you.

1366
00:53:45,483 --> 00:53:46,483
He is in you.

1367
00:53:46,483 --> 00:53:48,483
And when you step into the room, he's there.

1368
00:53:48,483 --> 00:53:51,483
And let me let me throw out another little controversial thing.

1369
00:53:51,483 --> 00:53:53,483
He's there before you walk in the room.

1370
00:53:53,483 --> 00:53:55,483
You're not calling him in.

1371
00:53:56,483 --> 00:53:59,483
You are in him, this whole world,

1372
00:53:59,483 --> 00:54:01,483
 this whole universe is in him.

1373
00:54:01,483 --> 00:54:02,483
Nothing happens.

1374
00:54:03,483 --> 00:54:06,483
By the way, including Satan, without him saying,

1375
00:54:06,483 --> 00:54:10,483
 okay, if he decides that Satan's not going to do something, guess what?

1376
00:54:10,483 --> 00:54:11,483
He's not gonna do it.

1377
00:54:11,483 --> 00:54:13,483
He is not stronger than God.

1378
00:54:13,483 --> 00:54:15,483
If he decides that you're not going to do something.

1379
00:54:16,483 --> 00:54:18,483
You're not going to do it.

1380
00:54:18,483 --> 00:54:19,483
And he can stop you.

1381
00:54:19,483 --> 00:54:20,483
Does he always do that?

1382
00:54:20,483 --> 00:54:21,483
No.

1383
00:54:21,483 --> 00:54:24,483
Most of the time he gives us the ability to make the

1384
00:54:24,483 --> 00:54:27,483
 dumb choices for ourselves and suffer the consequences.

1385
00:54:28,483 --> 00:54:31,483
And this liturgical thing, you know, I spent a

1386
00:54:31,483 --> 00:54:35,483
 big chunk of my life in a liturgical church and there

1387
00:54:35,483 --> 00:54:38,483
 would be people that if we didn't say the

1388
00:54:38,483 --> 00:54:41,483
 creed the right way, the psalm reading or

1389
00:54:42,483 --> 00:54:45,483
 the candle went out or it

1390
00:54:45,483 --> 00:54:46,483
 just wrecked their whole service.

1391
00:54:46,483 --> 00:54:47,483
Yeah, yeah.

1392
00:54:47,483 --> 00:54:49,483
Come on.

1393
00:54:49,483 --> 00:54:52,483
That stuff, that stuff, it has a place.

1394
00:54:52,483 --> 00:54:54,483
It can remind us of stuff, but it loses its meaning real quick.

1395
00:54:54,483 --> 00:54:55,483
Yeah, absolutely.

1396
00:54:55,483 --> 00:54:59,483
It becomes just a mode to try to connect to God to rub that magic lamp.

1397
00:54:59,483 --> 00:55:02,483
Yeah, when it becomes your church instead of the presence

1398
00:55:02,483 --> 00:55:04,483
 of the Lord, presence of the Holy Spirit.

1399
00:55:04,483 --> 00:55:06,483
And we do the same thing, right?

1400
00:55:06,483 --> 00:55:08,483
I mean, we do the same thing here.

1401
00:55:08,483 --> 00:55:12,483
in all of our churches, really.

1402
00:55:12,483 --> 00:55:15,483
I mean, you know, like Tyler already said, you got

1403
00:55:15,483 --> 00:55:18,483
 to try a certain way, you know, keep wear that hat in here.

1404
00:55:18,483 --> 00:55:20,483
You know, all these things that we just, man,

1405
00:55:20,483 --> 00:55:23,483
 we just let those things mess us up, instead of getting

1406
00:55:23,483 --> 00:55:26,483
 ourselves out of the way, and and and

1407
00:55:27,483 --> 00:55:30,483
 our, our parasitical mindset,

1408
00:55:30,483 --> 00:55:33,483
 and and just let Jesus come in here

1409
00:55:33,483 --> 00:55:36,483
 and fix people and and and make us what

1410
00:55:37,483 --> 00:55:38,483
 he's called us to be.

1411
00:55:38,483 --> 00:55:39,483
What hold each other up?

1412
00:55:39,483 --> 00:55:41,483
Yeah, yeah, not tear each other down on them.

1413
00:55:42,483 --> 00:55:46,483
We're, we're, it seems like that that we're waiting to pounce.

1414
00:55:46,483 --> 00:55:49,483
You know, we're waiting for somebody to do something wrong.

1415
00:55:49,483 --> 00:55:52,483
We're waiting for something to somebody to say something wrong.

1416
00:55:52,483 --> 00:55:55,483
so that we can correct them so that we can, you know, tear them down.

1417
00:55:55,483 --> 00:55:57,483
So we can look like we are better than them.

1418
00:55:58,483 --> 00:56:01,483
It is selfishness.

1419
00:56:01,483 --> 00:56:05,483
It is the exact opposite of what Christ called us to be.

1420
00:56:05,483 --> 00:56:06,483
Yeah.

1421
00:56:06,483 --> 00:56:08,483
And, you know, and don't get me wrong.

1422
00:56:08,483 --> 00:56:11,483
saying all that, I will also say, yes,

1423
00:56:11,483 --> 00:56:13,483
 you should have a reverence for the church.

1424
00:56:13,483 --> 00:56:14,483
You should treat it, reverently.

1425
00:56:15,483 --> 00:56:18,483
If you come in, you should try to, you know, dress nice.

1426
00:56:18,483 --> 00:56:21,483
Don't come in wearing, you know, falling

1427
00:56:21,483 --> 00:56:23,483
 apart shorts and a t-shirt that's falling apart.

1428
00:56:23,483 --> 00:56:24,483
But here's the thing.

1429
00:56:24,483 --> 00:56:25,483
It's all you got.

1430
00:56:25,483 --> 00:56:28,483
I started to say, if that's all you got.

1431
00:56:29,483 --> 00:56:31,483
I'll toss you a towel when you come in, brother.

1432
00:56:32,483 --> 00:56:35,483
But I mean, here's the thing.

1433
00:56:35,483 --> 00:56:38,483
You come in that way, when that's all you've

1434
00:56:38,483 --> 00:56:41,483
 got, don't look down on somebody for doing that.

1435
00:56:41,483 --> 00:56:44,483
But if you are somebody that you have the

1436
00:56:44,483 --> 00:56:47,483
 stuff and you have the ability and you have things where you don't

1437
00:56:47,483 --> 00:56:50,483
 have to do that, put a little bit of effort.

1438
00:56:50,483 --> 00:56:53,483
Yeah, don't be a distraction, hey, here's a thought.

1439
00:56:53,483 --> 00:56:54,483
If you have a little extra.

1440
00:56:54,483 --> 00:56:57,483
Give somebody a pair of pants.

1441
00:56:58,483 --> 00:57:00,483
I'll offer it to him.

1442
00:57:00,483 --> 00:57:02,483
Hey, hey, you know, I got this extra pair that look like they're about your size.

1443
00:57:04,483 --> 00:57:05,483
You know what?

1444
00:57:05,483 --> 00:57:08,483
That might be the difference between them having a being able to go get that job tomorrow

1445
00:57:08,483 --> 00:57:11,483
 in addition to coming to church looking a little bit nicer.

1446
00:57:12,483 --> 00:57:15,483
I mean, cause but we're called to help these people.

1447
00:57:15,483 --> 00:57:19,483
You can't look down on them and you can't treat them and you can't you can't shun them.

1448
00:57:19,483 --> 00:57:22,483
And trust me, I know it's hard.

1449
00:57:22,483 --> 00:57:24,483
It's really, really hard not to sometimes.

1450
00:57:25,483 --> 00:57:29,483
But I mean, that's where it comes to loving people, man.

1451
00:57:29,483 --> 00:57:31,483
If we just, I don't know.

1452
00:57:31,483 --> 00:57:33,483
I just, I look at things so much, so much different.

1453
00:57:34,483 --> 00:57:37,483
And I just, I don't,

1454
00:57:37,483 --> 00:57:40,483
 I'm not worried about, listen, you know, if you're not,

1455
00:57:40,483 --> 00:57:44,483
 if you're not seductively coming in here to try to take attention,

1456
00:57:44,483 --> 00:57:47,483
 bring attention to yourself and away from the service and what's

1457
00:57:47,483 --> 00:57:51,483
 going on, then, man, whatever, you know, whatever, come in here and worship with me.

1458
00:57:51,483 --> 00:57:52,483
I don't care.

1459
00:57:53,483 --> 00:57:54,483
I don't care.

1460
00:57:54,483 --> 00:57:56,483
Let's, you know, if there's anything that the Holy

1461
00:57:57,483 --> 00:58:00,483
 Spirit needs to clean up, I'm going to let him clean it up, not me.

1462
00:58:00,483 --> 00:58:04,483
You know, look, let's just, let's just worship together.

1463
00:58:04,483 --> 00:58:06,483
Let's just love Jesus together.

1464
00:58:06,483 --> 00:58:08,483
Let's speak truth together, right?

1465
00:58:08,483 --> 00:58:12,483
Let's get sin out and, and, and that'll,

1466
00:58:12,483 --> 00:58:15,483
 that'll, that'll take care of a lot of the issues and problems that we have, you know.

1467
00:58:15,483 --> 00:58:19,483
But let's not sit up here on our high horse judging

1468
00:58:19,483 --> 00:58:22,483
 everybody and thanking everybody's below us because

1469
00:58:22,483 --> 00:58:25,483
 they hadn't been in church, all of their lives,

1470
00:58:25,483 --> 00:58:29,483
 and they don't know, they don't know church talk, words, and

1471
00:58:29,483 --> 00:58:31,483
 the things that we do.

1472
00:58:31,483 --> 00:58:34,483
You ever heard me talk about David Nasser?

1473
00:58:34,483 --> 00:58:37,483
I saw him in person years ago and

1474
00:58:37,483 --> 00:58:40,483
 somewhere I've got a CD of his or maybe a DVD,

1475
00:58:41,483 --> 00:58:43,483
 where he gave his story.

1476
00:58:43,483 --> 00:58:44,483
He moved here during the 70s.

1477
00:58:45,483 --> 00:58:49,483
He was, his dad was part of the, um, they lived in Iran and his dad worked for the government.

1478
00:58:49,483 --> 00:58:52,483
He was part of the Shaws regime.

1479
00:58:52,483 --> 00:58:55,483
And so when they got ousted, they had to leave.

1480
00:58:55,483 --> 00:58:58,483
And so they had to they had to lie and say that his mother

1481
00:58:58,483 --> 00:59:02,483
 had a certain really rare heart condition and they got a doctor.

1482
00:59:02,483 --> 00:59:05,483
spent almost every dime they had to pay that doctor

1483
00:59:05,483 --> 00:59:07,483
 off and get them the tickets.

1484
00:59:07,483 --> 00:59:10,483
So that doctor would say, well, they have to go to this place outside the country.

1485
00:59:11,483 --> 00:59:15,483
And because there's such a huge chance that she's going to die.

1486
00:59:15,483 --> 00:59:16,483
We got to let the whole family go.

1487
00:59:16,483 --> 00:59:17,483
And so he talked them into letting them go.

1488
00:59:17,483 --> 00:59:19,483
And they come to him America.

1489
00:59:19,483 --> 00:59:22,483
He knows nothing about Christianity.

1490
00:59:22,483 --> 00:59:23,483
He's raised Muslim.

1491
00:59:23,483 --> 00:59:26,483
He's never seen a church a day in his life.

1492
00:59:27,483 --> 00:59:29,483
And then they went to church.

1493
00:59:29,483 --> 00:59:32,483
He got invited by some kids he went to school with.

1494
00:59:32,483 --> 00:59:36,483
I'll

1495
00:59:36,483 --> 00:59:38,483
 never forget, he said he walked into that church.

1496
00:59:38,483 --> 00:59:42,483
And he greeted them exactly the same way he greeted them every day at school.

1497
00:59:42,483 --> 00:59:45,483
And those kids would not talk to

1498
00:59:45,483 --> 00:59:48,483
 him because the greeting was, hey, how the blankety blank, blank, are you?

1499
00:59:48,483 --> 00:59:51,483
And he yells it across the room.

1500
00:59:52,483 --> 00:59:55,483
Because he thought that's how you talk because

1501
00:59:55,483 --> 00:59:56,483
 that's what they taught him in school.

1502
00:59:56,483 --> 00:59:57,483
Yeah.

1503
00:59:57,483 --> 01:00:03,483
Poop in a punch bowl.

1504
01:00:04,483 --> 01:00:05,483
Yeah.

1505
01:00:05,483 --> 01:00:08,483
I mean, it just it caught everybody off guard.

1506
01:00:08,483 --> 01:00:11,483
And and he said the amazing thing was there

1507
01:00:11,483 --> 01:00:13,483
 was this one kid never talked to him.

1508
01:00:13,483 --> 01:00:15,483
Not because he wasn't stuck up.

1509
01:00:15,483 --> 01:00:16,483
He just he's shy.

1510
01:00:16,483 --> 01:00:17,483
He just didn't talk.

1511
01:00:17,483 --> 01:00:20,483
And he was sitting there and none

1512
01:00:20,483 --> 01:00:21,483
 of his friends would talk to him anymore.

1513
01:00:21,483 --> 01:00:23,483
And he's thinking, what do I do?

1514
01:00:23,483 --> 01:00:26,483
And that kid looked at him and he goes, hey man, do you have a Bible?

1515
01:00:26,483 --> 01:00:27,483
No?

1516
01:00:27,483 --> 01:00:28,483
Here, have mine.

1517
01:00:28,483 --> 01:00:30,483
Call him and read a little bit.

1518
01:00:30,483 --> 01:00:31,483
If you got any questions, give me a call.

1519
01:00:32,483 --> 01:00:34,483
So he goes home, he starts reading it.

1520
01:00:34,483 --> 01:00:36,483
And he finds out this Jesus guy, he's got some interesting things to say.

1521
01:00:37,483 --> 01:00:40,483
And before long, he got saved and then his mom got saved

1522
01:00:40,483 --> 01:00:43,483
 and his brothers and sisters got saved and his dad was last holed out right up

1523
01:00:43,483 --> 01:00:46,483
 until his mom actually almost died from the same heart condition that she didn't

1524
01:00:46,483 --> 01:00:49,483
 have, but suddenly developed, died 3

1525
01:00:49,483 --> 01:00:51,483
 times in the hospital.

1526
01:00:51,483 --> 01:00:54,483
Just heart stopped beating, and they rolled her out the

1527
01:00:54,483 --> 01:00:57,483
 light one of the last times, and they're thinking, we're probably not going to get her

1528
01:00:57,483 --> 01:01:00,483
 heart started back, and he said, literally,

1529
01:01:00,483 --> 01:01:03,483
 his dad just went, Jesus, whatever it takes.

1530
01:01:03,483 --> 01:01:05,483
He said, and that's it.

1531
01:01:05,483 --> 01:01:08,483
He said from then on, dad was in church every Sunday.

1532
01:01:08,483 --> 01:01:10,483
He was in church on Wednesdays.

1533
01:01:10,483 --> 01:01:13,483
He said, he's a good Baptist, didn't give like he needed to,

1534
01:01:13,483 --> 01:01:14,483
 but hey, he went to church.

1535
01:01:14,483 --> 01:01:17,483
And I mean, we

1536
01:01:17,483 --> 01:01:19,483
 we do that.

1537
01:01:19,483 --> 01:01:22,483
We go out, we step foot outside

1538
01:01:22,483 --> 01:01:25,483
 of these doors, and we forget who we are.

1539
01:01:26,483 --> 01:01:29,483
And this is supposed to be the opposite where this is, this place

1540
01:01:29,483 --> 01:01:31,483
 is to equip us to do God's work out there.

1541
01:01:31,483 --> 01:01:32,483
Exactly.

1542
01:01:32,483 --> 01:01:33,483
It's like soldiers.

1543
01:01:33,483 --> 01:01:35,483
It is like soldiers in an army.

1544
01:01:35,483 --> 01:01:38,483
You go in, you get equipped, and then you take the equipment out with you.

1545
01:01:38,483 --> 01:01:41,483
Yeah, I remember the church I used to go to, had a sign over

1546
01:01:41,483 --> 01:01:42,483
 the door inside.

1547
01:01:42,483 --> 01:01:46,483
As you were leaving, you could see it and said, welcome to the mission field.

1548
01:01:47,483 --> 01:01:48,483
Yeah, yeah.

1549
01:01:48,483 --> 01:01:49,483
Oh I love it.

1550
01:01:50,483 --> 01:01:51,483
That's awesome.

1551
01:01:51,483 --> 01:01:52,483
Yeah.

1552
01:01:52,483 --> 01:01:54,483
Because that is your mission failed, didn't it?

1553
01:01:54,483 --> 01:01:55,483
That is your mission.

1554
01:01:55,483 --> 01:01:57,483
job or whatever it is you got going on?

1555
01:01:57,483 --> 01:02:00,483
There's so much there's so much more in

1556
01:02:00,483 --> 01:02:03,483
 this that I that I want to cover, but I really don't want to rush through it.

1557
01:02:03,483 --> 01:02:04,483
No, I don't either, man.

1558
01:02:04,483 --> 01:02:06,483
I think we're going to break our streak on this one.

1559
01:02:07,483 --> 01:02:09,483
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1560
01:02:09,483 --> 01:02:10,483
We can we can do verse eight, right?

1561
01:02:10,483 --> 01:02:11,483
And cut off there.

1562
01:02:11,483 --> 01:02:12,483
Yeah, that seems good.

1563
01:02:12,483 --> 01:02:15,483
This is a really rosy verse anyway, right?

1564
01:02:15,483 --> 01:02:17,483
Absolutely.

1565
01:02:17,483 --> 01:02:19,483
But the cowardly.

1566
01:02:19,483 --> 01:02:23,483
Unbelieving, abominable murderers, sexually

1567
01:02:23,483 --> 01:02:27,483
 immoral, sexually immoral, sorcerers,

1568
01:02:27,483 --> 01:02:30,483
 idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in

1569
01:02:30,483 --> 01:02:33,483
 the lake, which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the 2nd death.

1570
01:02:33,483 --> 01:02:36,483
That covers

1571
01:02:36,483 --> 01:02:38,483
 just about everybody that's not a believer, don't it?

1572
01:02:38,483 --> 01:02:42,483
And by the way, you know what I said earlier about churches

1573
01:02:42,483 --> 01:02:43,483
 doing stuff like it's magic.

1574
01:02:43,483 --> 01:02:45,483
You better be careful about that.

1575
01:02:45,483 --> 01:02:47,483
Yeah.

1576
01:02:47,483 --> 01:02:50,483
And I tell you, in this culture, we're living now,

1577
01:02:51,483 --> 01:02:53,483
 that sexually immoral thing is just rampant.

1578
01:02:53,483 --> 01:02:55,483
It is. rampant.

1579
01:02:55,483 --> 01:02:57,483
And he's, he's, it's everywhere.

1580
01:02:57,483 --> 01:03:00,483
We like to pick on homosexuals, I guess, for

1581
01:03:00,483 --> 01:03:04,483
 the most part as Christians, but it's a womanizing man.

1582
01:03:04,483 --> 01:03:05,483
It is.

1583
01:03:05,483 --> 01:03:06,483
It's a it's a woman that goes after me.

1584
01:03:07,483 --> 01:03:08,483
It's it's absolutely.

1585
01:03:08,483 --> 01:03:09,483
Absolutely. knows no bounds.

1586
01:03:09,483 --> 01:03:12,483
Hey, the King James puts it a little bit more succinctly rather than just

1587
01:03:13,483 --> 01:03:14,483
 calling it sexually immoral.

1588
01:03:14,483 --> 01:03:15,483
whmongers.

1589
01:03:15,483 --> 01:03:16,483
Yeah.

1590
01:03:16,483 --> 01:03:19,483
Yeah, absolutely.

1591
01:03:19,483 --> 01:03:21,483
If you're out chasing that all the time.

1592
01:03:21,483 --> 01:03:22,483
I'm sorry.

1593
01:03:22,483 --> 01:03:25,483
You are absolutely living in in a

1594
01:03:25,483 --> 01:03:26,483
 manner that is against God's.

1595
01:03:26,483 --> 01:03:28,483
If you're out looking if you're looking for it online all the time.

1596
01:03:28,483 --> 01:03:31,483
It doesn't matter that you're not actively chasing somebody,

1597
01:03:31,483 --> 01:03:32,483
 that you're actively trying to do that.

1598
01:03:33,483 --> 01:03:35,483
If you're online looking at it.

1599
01:03:35,483 --> 01:03:38,483
And this is a world of idolatry too.

1600
01:03:38,483 --> 01:03:41,483
We're reminded here that those that are in

1601
01:03:41,483 --> 01:03:42,483
 the lake of fire will never get out.

1602
01:03:42,483 --> 01:03:43,483
Yes.

1603
01:03:44,483 --> 01:03:45,483
They will never get out.

1604
01:03:45,483 --> 01:03:46,483
They will never return.

1605
01:03:46,483 --> 01:03:48,483
They will never be a 3rd resurrection.

1606
01:03:48,483 --> 01:03:51,483
There will be no 2nd chances,

1607
01:03:51,483 --> 01:03:54,483
 and this terrible place will be shut off from heaven.

1608
01:03:55,483 --> 01:03:58,483
where there will be no sin.

1609
01:03:58,483 --> 01:03:59,483
Right.

1610
01:03:59,483 --> 01:04:02,483
I mean, this is there's God is not anywhere

1611
01:04:02,483 --> 01:04:04,483
 around the Lake of Fire, right?

1612
01:04:04,483 --> 01:04:05,483
He's not a part of it.

1613
01:04:05,483 --> 01:04:06,483
He's not in it.

1614
01:04:06,483 --> 01:04:09,483
Once they're thrown in the lake of fire, that place is

1615
01:04:09,483 --> 01:04:11,483
 sealed off, it's done, it's gone.

1616
01:04:11,483 --> 01:04:14,483
They're going to stay for there for eternity and

1617
01:04:14,483 --> 01:04:17,483
 never to be never to be thought of again.

1618
01:04:17,483 --> 01:04:20,483
And it's really the opposite of verses 3 and four, right?

1619
01:04:20,483 --> 01:04:21,483
Yeah.

1620
01:04:21,483 --> 01:04:24,483
You're not going to have every tear wiped away.

1621
01:04:24,483 --> 01:04:27,483
You're going to have sorrow, crying, regret, death, all

1622
01:04:27,483 --> 01:04:30,483
 these things for eternity because you're not in presence of God.

1623
01:04:31,483 --> 01:04:35,483
And even in this world, with as little as we see of it.

1624
01:04:35,483 --> 01:04:38,483
God is the presence of he is the goodness.

1625
01:04:38,483 --> 01:04:40,483
Any goodness in this world comes from him.

1626
01:04:40,483 --> 01:04:42,483
Any love in this world comes from him.

1627
01:04:42,483 --> 01:04:44,483
Peace, joy.

1628
01:04:44,483 --> 01:04:48,483
You're separated from that stuff for eternity.

1629
01:04:48,483 --> 01:04:49,483
Yeah.

1630
01:04:49,483 --> 01:04:51,483
You're not having a six pack with your buddies.

1631
01:04:51,483 --> 01:04:53,483
No, no, no.

1632
01:04:53,483 --> 01:04:54,483
No, no.

1633
01:04:54,483 --> 01:04:55,483
It's it's not.

1634
01:04:55,483 --> 01:04:58,483
It's not what, uh, I seen a, I seen a post

1635
01:04:58,483 --> 01:05:01,483
 the other day, something about, you know,

1636
01:05:01,483 --> 01:05:04,483
 one of those comments like that, you know, that somebody put on there.

1637
01:05:04,483 --> 01:05:08,483
It's like, wasn't even anybody that was wanting you know how those threads pop up.

1638
01:05:08,483 --> 01:05:10,483
So it's like, 0 my gosh, you know.

1639
01:05:10,483 --> 01:05:13,483
Hey, that is, I'm going to tell you something.

1640
01:05:13,483 --> 01:05:16,483
You see stuff pop up from threads, just ignore

1641
01:05:16,483 --> 01:05:19,483
 it because that entire sight is

1642
01:05:20,483 --> 01:05:22,483
 just trash.

1643
01:05:22,483 --> 01:05:24,483
Yeah. about like Reddit.

1644
01:05:24,483 --> 01:05:25,483
Yeah. worse.

1645
01:05:25,483 --> 01:05:26,483
Yeah.

1646
01:05:26,483 --> 01:05:27,483
I'm not even on threads.

1647
01:05:27,483 --> 01:05:29,483
Okay, this is just like stuff that...

1648
01:05:30,483 --> 01:05:31,483
Oh, no, you have Facebook.

1649
01:05:32,483 --> 01:05:33,483
You have Facebook, therefore you're on threads.

1650
01:05:33,483 --> 01:05:34,483
That's how that works.

1651
01:05:34,483 --> 01:05:36,483
It's literally baked into meta stuff.

1652
01:05:37,483 --> 01:05:38,483
Yeah.

1653
01:05:38,483 --> 01:05:39,483
So it'll it'll pop up.

1654
01:05:39,483 --> 01:05:40,483
It's ridiculous.

1655
01:05:41,483 --> 01:05:44,483
And it's horrible because people just, I mean, they put awful

1656
01:05:44,483 --> 01:05:46,483
 stuff on there.

1657
01:05:46,483 --> 01:05:49,483
But yeah, no, I've seen the exact same post you're talking about where people are like, oh, yeah, yeah.

1658
01:05:49,483 --> 01:05:51,483
Oh, I can't, I can't do this in heaven.

1659
01:05:51,483 --> 01:05:52,483
I can't do that now.

1660
01:05:52,483 --> 01:05:53,483
Well, can I go to the other place?

1661
01:05:53,483 --> 01:05:57,483
Well, you're not going to get to do the stuff you're talking about doing there either.

1662
01:05:57,483 --> 01:05:58,483
That's your default location, right?

1663
01:05:58,483 --> 01:05:59,483
your default.

1664
01:05:59,483 --> 01:06:00,483
Yeah, from birth.

1665
01:06:00,483 --> 01:06:01,483
I'm going to tell you.

1666
01:06:01,483 --> 01:06:02,483
Oh, hey.

1667
01:06:03,483 --> 01:06:06,483
Hey, um, he didn't have it right, did he?

1668
01:06:06,483 --> 01:06:09,483
I mean, if heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, and you got the

1669
01:06:09,483 --> 01:06:10,483
 wrong mindset, brother.

1670
01:06:10,483 --> 01:06:11,483
Yes.

1671
01:06:11,483 --> 01:06:13,483
Heaven's going to be a lot like Jesus.

1672
01:06:13,483 --> 01:06:15,483
And if you don't like that, then, yeah.

1673
01:06:15,483 --> 01:06:17,483
you're going to spend eternity somewhere else.

1674
01:06:18,483 --> 01:06:19,483
Amen.

1675
01:06:19,483 --> 01:06:20,483
Amen.

1676
01:06:20,483 --> 01:06:23,483
But

1677
01:06:23,483 --> 01:06:27,483
 hey, I hate ending on such a downer note.

1678
01:06:28,483 --> 01:06:30,483
We're going to pick back up.

1679
01:06:30,483 --> 01:06:33,483
We're going to pick back up next week and we're going to talk about, we're

1680
01:06:34,483 --> 01:06:36,483
 going to talk about this place that he built for us.

1681
01:06:36,483 --> 01:06:38,483
We're going to talk about the dimensions of it and what it's

1682
01:06:38,483 --> 01:06:42,483
 like and who's going to be living there and who's going to get to enjoy it and all those things.

1683
01:06:43,483 --> 01:06:44,483
Absolutely.

1684
01:06:44,483 --> 01:06:45,483
It's going to be beautiful.

1685
01:06:45,483 --> 01:06:49,483
And so yeah, just, and next week we, I mean, we start out.

1686
01:06:49,483 --> 01:06:52,483
We're gonna get to meet the bride, the wife of Christ.

1687
01:06:53,483 --> 01:06:57,483
And we get to see the what is built for the bride.

1688
01:06:57,483 --> 01:06:59,483
I mean, that's really what it is.

1689
01:06:59,483 --> 01:07:02,483
It is the marriage house that is built for his pride.

1690
01:07:02,483 --> 01:07:05,483
And we get to we get to see it and we get it described to us and, ooh,

1691
01:07:05,483 --> 01:07:07,483
 boy, it is it is it is nice.

1692
01:07:08,483 --> 01:07:11,483
Yeah, we, those 1st

1693
01:07:11,483 --> 01:07:14,483
 8 chapters, I love those 1st few, and then you got those,

1694
01:07:14,483 --> 01:07:15,483
 bring it down a little bit there, John.

1695
01:07:16,483 --> 01:07:19,483
When we read this and

1696
01:07:19,483 --> 01:07:22,483
 we go into this and I don't get ahead of this

1697
01:07:23,483 --> 01:07:26,483
 tonight, but we really get to see and

1698
01:07:26,483 --> 01:07:29,483
 have an start to have an understanding of the special place

1699
01:07:29,483 --> 01:07:31,483
 that we have as the bride of Christ with Jesus.

1700
01:07:32,483 --> 01:07:36,483
Like, yes, Israel,

1701
01:07:36,483 --> 01:07:38,483
 the Jewish people are his chosen people.

1702
01:07:38,483 --> 01:07:39,483
I understand that.

1703
01:07:40,483 --> 01:07:42,483
They've got a special place with him.

1704
01:07:42,483 --> 01:07:43,483
The tribulation saints.

1705
01:07:44,483 --> 01:07:45,483
They got a special place with him.

1706
01:07:45,483 --> 01:07:48,483
But the church age, the

1707
01:07:48,483 --> 01:07:51,483
 church age, when that, when that point, that's from,

1708
01:07:51,483 --> 01:07:54,483
 that's from the point where Christ died until he raptures

1709
01:07:54,483 --> 01:07:57,483
 us out, everybody that was saved during that

1710
01:07:57,483 --> 01:08:00,483
 time is the bride of Christ, they're part of the church, and

1711
01:08:00,483 --> 01:08:03,483
 what a beautiful and special place that we have

1712
01:08:03,483 --> 01:08:06,483
 with Jesus that no one else has, and no one else will

1713
01:08:06,483 --> 01:08:08,483
 ever, ever, ever experienced.

1714
01:08:08,483 --> 01:08:10,483
Millions.

1715
01:08:10,483 --> 01:08:11,483
1000000s of people.

1716
01:08:12,483 --> 01:08:13,483
Mm.

1717
01:08:13,483 --> 01:08:16,483
So Revelation 21, nine,

1718
01:08:16,483 --> 01:08:20,483
 next week, and I think, hopefully, nothing's gonna happen.

1719
01:08:20,483 --> 01:08:21,483
Barring anything happening.

1720
01:08:22,483 --> 01:08:23,483
Revelation 219.

1721
01:08:23,483 --> 01:08:26,483
Maybe the Lord will come back between now and eight, man.

1722
01:08:26,483 --> 01:08:27,483
I'm ready.

1723
01:08:27,483 --> 01:08:29,483
And we'll just say, see?

1724
01:08:29,483 --> 01:08:32,483
We told you.

1725
01:08:32,483 --> 01:08:33,483
We told you so.

1726
01:08:33,483 --> 01:08:34,483
Yeah.

1727
01:08:37,483 --> 01:08:38,483
Oh, man.

1728
01:08:38,483 --> 01:08:41,483
But yeah,

1729
01:08:41,483 --> 01:08:44,483
 Revelation 219 next week and, uh, oh

1730
01:08:45,483 --> 01:08:47,483
 boy, I love the...

1731
01:08:47,483 --> 01:08:47,983
I love this stuff.

1732
01:08:47,983 --> 01:08:48,483
Love it, love it, love it.

1733
01:08:49,483 --> 01:08:52,483
looking at the city and looking at how it's made and how it's built and

1734
01:08:52,483 --> 01:08:53,483
 how beautiful it's going to be.

1735
01:08:53,483 --> 01:08:54,483
hope too, right?

1736
01:08:54,483 --> 01:08:56,483
This is what this is what we got hanging our hat on.

1737
01:08:57,483 --> 01:08:58,483
That is true.

1738
01:08:59,483 --> 01:09:02,483
Hey, let me do a shameless plug too.

1739
01:09:02,483 --> 01:09:05,483
If you're listening local and you don't have a place to go to church, I'm going to hit myself

1740
01:09:05,483 --> 01:09:07,483
 in the mouth with a with a iPhone.

1741
01:09:07,483 --> 01:09:10,483
But if you're listening local and you don't have a place to go to church and you'd

1742
01:09:10,483 --> 01:09:13,483
 love to come worship with somebody, man, come worship with us, then

1743
01:09:13,483 --> 01:09:16,483
 have a lot of visitors here lately and I've got to love

1744
01:09:17,483 --> 01:09:19,483
 on them and talk to them.

1745
01:09:19,483 --> 01:09:21,483
And so, um, man, just, just come see us.

1746
01:09:21,483 --> 01:09:22,483
Come see us.

1747
01:09:22,483 --> 01:09:25,483
Well, as they say, we'll treat you so many ways you got a lot, one of them, right?

1748
01:09:25,483 --> 01:09:26,483
Absolutely.

1749
01:09:26,483 --> 01:09:30,483
And so join us next week.

1750
01:09:30,483 --> 01:09:32,483
Revelation 219.

1751
01:09:32,483 --> 01:09:36,483
and if you just tuned in, hey, the review

1752
01:09:36,483 --> 01:09:39,483
 of it will still be on Rumble, I see we got 3 people

1753
01:09:39,483 --> 01:09:42,483
 and we had a much smaller number until just a little bit ago.

1754
01:09:42,483 --> 01:09:45,483
So you'll be able to restart it and watch it from the beginning.

1755
01:09:45,483 --> 01:09:48,483
So, uh, you, uh, don't you don't have to miss it.

1756
01:09:48,483 --> 01:09:51,483
And, uh, brother Brian.

1757
01:09:51,483 --> 01:09:53,483
pray us out tonight.

1758
01:09:53,483 --> 01:09:56,483
Father, we love you,

1759
01:09:56,483 --> 01:09:59,483
 and we love your word, and, uh, God, how,

1760
01:09:59,483 --> 01:10:03,483
 Lord, how exciting it is to

1761
01:10:03,483 --> 01:10:06,483
 read about what is your present in our future.

1762
01:10:06,483 --> 01:10:09,483
Lord, it's all set

1763
01:10:09,483 --> 01:10:13,483
 before you and God, we have it all to look forward to.

1764
01:10:14,483 --> 01:10:18,483
And Lord, we thank you for God,

1765
01:10:18,483 --> 01:10:21,483
 the men that you inspired to write your word, that

1766
01:10:21,483 --> 01:10:24,483
 we know that your words are true and faithful,

1767
01:10:25,483 --> 01:10:26,483
 and we can trust in those things.

1768
01:10:27,483 --> 01:10:29,483
God, it's not hype.

1769
01:10:29,483 --> 01:10:32,483
It's not, uh, it's not something that

1770
01:10:32,483 --> 01:10:35,483
 we dreamed up or, uh, God, something

1771
01:10:35,483 --> 01:10:38,483
 that we that we came up with on our own, but the holy

1772
01:10:38,483 --> 01:10:41,483
 Spirit of God has revealed who Jesus is to

1773
01:10:42,483 --> 01:10:45,483
 us and we get to be a part of that.

1774
01:10:45,483 --> 01:10:47,483
We get to know him, know his

1775
01:10:47,483 --> 01:10:50,483
 love for us, and we get to be his bride.

1776
01:10:51,483 --> 01:10:53,483
And Lord, thank you for that.

1777
01:10:53,483 --> 01:10:55,483
We're engrafted in to your family.

1778
01:10:55,483 --> 01:10:56,483
Thank you for that.

1779
01:10:56,483 --> 01:10:57,483
Thank you for a home in heaven.

1780
01:10:57,483 --> 01:11:00,483
Thank you for the love that you showed us

1781
01:11:00,483 --> 01:11:01,483
 that we didn't deserve.

1782
01:11:02,483 --> 01:11:05,483
God, I pray for everyone that's listening and those that are not.

1783
01:11:05,483 --> 01:11:08,483
I pray God that you would bless them.

1784
01:11:08,483 --> 01:11:11,483
Lord, bless those who are following you, continue to show up.

1785
01:11:11,483 --> 01:11:15,483
God in mighty ways in their lives, Lord God.

1786
01:11:15,483 --> 01:11:19,483
for those that don't know you, I pray that they might come to know you.

1787
01:11:19,483 --> 01:11:22,483
Lord, we love you and we thank you and we ask these things in Christ's name.

1788
01:11:23,483 --> 01:11:24,483
Amen.
