- - AND NOW, MATT AND LAURIE CROUCH.
- 00:00:19.876 --> 00:00:23.880
- - MATT CROUCH: PRAISE COMES TO YOU TODAY FROM BEAUTIFUL
- 00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:26.149
- DALLAS, FT. WORTH, TEXAS.
- 00:00:26.149 --> 00:00:28.585
- OUR GUEST, O.S. HAWKINS.
- 00:00:28.585 --> 00:00:30.887
- O.S., WHEN I SAY THE TERM GOD WITH US, FOR US
- 00:00:30.887 --> 00:00:36.392
- AND GOD IN US, WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT?
- 00:00:36.392 --> 00:00:40.563
- WHAT ARE YOU HERE TO TALK ABOUT TODAY THAT MAKES
- 00:00:40.563 --> 00:00:45.502
- SENSE OF WHAT I JUST SAID FOR US?
- 00:00:45.502 --> 00:00:47.971
- - WELL, IT'S THE PASSION.
- 00:00:47.971 --> 00:00:51.040
- IT'S THE GOSPEL.
- 00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:52.041
- GOD WITH US.
- 00:00:52.041 --> 00:00:53.376
- GOD CAME TO BE WITH US.
- 00:00:53.376 --> 00:00:55.545
- THE INCARNATION.
- 00:00:55.545 --> 00:00:57.280
- THE ANGEL SAID WHAT?
- 00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:58.815
- THE ANGEL SAID YOU SHALL CALL HIS NAME EMMANUEL
- 00:00:58.815 --> 00:01:01.951
- WHICH MEANS GOD WITH US.
- 00:01:01.951 --> 00:01:03.853
- WHAT DIFFERENTIATES CHRISTIANITY FROM ALL THE
- 00:01:03.853 --> 00:01:06.723
- OTHER WORLD RELIGIONS?
- 00:01:06.723 --> 00:01:07.957
- ALL THE OTHER WORLD RELIGIONS NO MATTER WHO
- 00:01:07.957 --> 00:01:10.493
- THEY ARE THEY'RE ON A QUEST TRYING TO GET TO GOD.
- 00:01:10.493 --> 00:01:13.229
- THEY TRY TO REACH GOD THROUGH ALMS GIVING OR
- 00:01:13.229 --> 00:01:15.365
- DOING GOOD OR DOING THIS.
- 00:01:15.365 --> 00:01:16.866
- WHAT MAKES OURS DIFFERENT FROM EVERYTHING ELSE IS
- 00:01:16.866 --> 00:01:19.736
- THAT IT'S NOT ABOUT US TRYING TO GET TO GOD.
- 00:01:19.736 --> 00:01:22.338
- IT'S ABOUT GOD COMING TO US IN JESUS CHRIST.
- 00:01:22.338 --> 00:01:25.575
- SO GOD WITH US IS THE INCARNATION.
- 00:01:25.575 --> 00:01:27.977
- HE CAME AND CLOTHED HIMSELF IN HUMAN FLESH.
- 00:01:27.977 --> 00:01:30.446
- AND HE DID SO SO HE COULD SAY TO EVERYONE THAT'S
- 00:01:30.446 --> 00:01:34.450
- LISTENING TONIGHT, I UNDERSTAND.
- 00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:37.453
- YOU KNOW, A LITTLE CHILD IS RESTLESS AND
- 00:01:37.453 --> 00:01:40.356
- EVERYTHING, JESUS COULD SAY I UNDERSTAND.
- 00:01:40.356 --> 00:01:43.059
- IF YOU THINK THAT GUY IS BORING TALKING NOW, YOU
- 00:01:43.059 --> 00:01:45.562
- SHOULD HAVE HEARD THE RABBI IN THE SYNAGOGUE
- 00:01:45.562 --> 00:01:47.163
- IN NAZARETH. [LAUGHING]
- 00:01:47.163 --> 00:01:48.798
- A TEENAGER, NOBODY UNDERSTANDS TEENAGERS.
- 00:01:48.798 --> 00:01:50.800
- JESUS SAID HEY, I UNDERSTAND.
- 00:01:50.800 --> 00:01:52.368
- I WAS A TEENAGER ONE TIME.
- 00:01:52.368 --> 00:01:54.070
- SOMEBODY TEMPTED TO SIN, JESUS SAID I UNDERSTAND.
- 00:01:54.070 --> 00:01:56.940
- I WAS TEMPTED IN EVERY POINT LIKE YOU YET
- 00:01:56.940 --> 00:01:58.508
- WITHOUT SIN.
- 00:01:58.508 --> 00:02:00.210
- MAYBE SOMEBODY'S LISTENING TONIGHT
- 00:02:00.210 --> 00:02:01.878
- AFRAID TO DIE.
- 00:02:01.878 --> 00:02:03.413
- JESUS SAID, HEY, I UNDERSTAND.
- 00:02:03.413 --> 00:02:05.014
- I WENT TO GETHSEMANE'S GARDEN AND SAID LORD, IF
- 00:02:05.014 --> 00:02:07.951
- IT'S POSSIBLE LET THIS PASS FROM ME.
- 00:02:07.951 --> 00:02:09.786
- SO THE INCARNATION, GOD WITH US, THE BEAUTIFUL
- 00:02:09.786 --> 00:02:14.224
- THING OF IT HE CAME TO BE WITH US.
- 00:02:14.224 --> 00:02:16.059
- AND THEN GOD FOR US.
- 00:02:16.059 --> 00:02:19.996
- HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN FOR US.
- 00:02:19.996 --> 00:02:21.197
- ROMANS 8:5-8 SAYS GOD DEMONSTRATED HIS OWN LOVE
- 00:02:21.197 --> 00:02:24.500
- IN WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, WHAT?
- 00:02:24.500 --> 00:02:27.704
- CHRIST DIED FOR US.
- 00:02:27.704 --> 00:02:29.572
- HAD HE NOT COME TO BE WITH US HE COULDN'T HAVE DIED FOR
- 00:02:29.572 --> 00:02:31.908
- US, SO THE CROSS IS SO VITALLY IMPORTANT, THAT
- 00:02:31.908 --> 00:02:37.447
- GOD IS NOT JUST WITH US, SAY BUT GOD CAME TO DIE
- 00:02:37.447 --> 00:02:40.583
- FOR US.
- 00:02:40.583 --> 00:02:42.085
- HE TOOK MY SIN SO I COULD TAKE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
- 00:02:42.085 --> 00:02:44.887
- HE DIED MY DEATH SO I COULD LIVE HIS LIFE.
- 00:02:44.887 --> 00:02:47.423
- AND I WAS 17 YEARS OLD WHEN I CAME TO
- 00:02:47.423 --> 00:02:49.792
- THAT REALIZATION.
- 00:02:49.792 --> 00:02:50.994
- NEVER HEARD A PRAYER IN MY HOME.
- 00:02:50.994 --> 00:02:52.262
- DIDN'T KNOW MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, AND JOHN WERE
- 00:02:52.262 --> 00:02:54.030
- BOOKS OF THE BIBLE.
- 00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:55.465
- BUT ANOTHER GUY WITNESSED TO ME AFTER A BASKETBALL
- 00:02:55.465 --> 00:02:57.767
- GAME WHEN I WAS A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND SHARED
- 00:02:57.767 --> 00:03:00.637
- WITH ME HOW CHRIST HAD TAKEN MY SIN IN HIS OWN
- 00:03:00.637 --> 00:03:03.273
- BODY, DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ME, ROSE FROM THE
- 00:03:03.273 --> 00:03:06.876
- DEAD AND COME TO LIVE IN ME.
- 00:03:06.876 --> 00:03:09.145
- AND I'M NOT WHAT I OUGHT TO BE TODAY A LOT OF
- 00:03:09.145 --> 00:03:11.381
- YEARS LATER BUT NEVER THE SAME SINCE THEN.
- 00:03:11.381 --> 00:03:14.150
- BUT THEN MATT, LAURIE, IT'S NOT JUST GOD WITH US.
- 00:03:14.150 --> 00:03:17.787
- IT'S NOT JUST GOD FOR US.
- 00:03:17.787 --> 00:03:19.889
- IT'S GOD IN US.
- 00:03:19.889 --> 00:03:22.692
- HE COULD HAVE NEVER COME TO LIVE IN US HAD HE NOT
- 00:03:22.692 --> 00:03:26.129
- DIED FOR US AND THAT WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED
- 00:03:26.129 --> 00:03:28.398
- HAD HE NOT BEEN ABLE TO COME TO BE WITH US.
- 00:03:28.398 --> 00:03:31.501
- SO YOU REMEMBER WHEN PAUL WENT TO THE EPHESIANS AND
- 00:03:31.501 --> 00:03:36.139
- HE BEGAN TO TALK TO THEM IN ACTS 19 ABOUT
- 00:03:36.139 --> 00:03:37.607
- THE HOLY SPIRIT?
- 00:03:37.607 --> 00:03:38.574
- - OKAY.
- 00:03:38.574 --> 00:03:39.642
- - AND THEY SAID WE'VE NOT EVEN HEARD SO MUCH
- 00:03:39.642 --> 00:03:41.944
- THAT THERE IS A HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:03:41.944 --> 00:03:43.646
- AND YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE IN A
- 00:03:43.646 --> 00:03:45.648
- LOT OF CHURCHES TODAY THAT MIGHT SAY THE SAME THING.
- 00:03:45.648 --> 00:03:48.418
- WE'VE NOT EVEN HEARD SO MUCH AS THE HOLY SPIRIT,
- 00:03:48.418 --> 00:03:51.154
- BUT THE BEAUTIFUL THING IS IF WE SEE GOD WITH US
- 00:03:51.154 --> 00:03:53.389
- AT BETHLEHEM, AND WE SEE GOD FOR US ON GOLGOTHA,
- 00:03:53.389 --> 00:03:57.927
- WE SEE GOD IN US AT PENTECOST WHEN THE HOLY
- 00:03:57.927 --> 00:04:00.330
- SPIRIT CAME TO INDWELL THE BELIEVER, TO EMPOWER
- 00:04:00.330 --> 00:04:03.099
- US, TO NEVER LEAVE US, TO GUIDE US, TO LEAD US INTO
- 00:04:03.099 --> 00:04:08.037
- ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.
- 00:04:08.037 --> 00:04:09.972
- AND TO LIVE IN US.
- 00:04:09.972 --> 00:04:12.075
- CHRIST IN ME, THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:04:12.075 --> 00:04:14.010
- AND WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?
- 00:04:14.010 --> 00:04:16.579
- WELL, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATION OF IT I'VE
- 00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:19.949
- EVER SEEN WAS A NIGHT BEFORE THE CRUCIFIXION.
- 00:04:19.949 --> 00:04:22.151
- JOHN RECORDS IT IN CHAPTER 14, AND JESUS
- 00:04:22.151 --> 00:04:26.422
- SAID IN VERSE 16, HE SAYS, I'M LEAVING YOU,
- 00:04:26.422 --> 00:04:29.559
- BUT I PRAYED TO THE FATHER, AND HE WILL SEND
- 00:04:29.559 --> 00:04:36.632
- ANOTHER COMFORTER, ANOTHER HELPER WHO WILL
- 00:04:36.632 --> 00:04:40.603
- ABIDE WITH YOU FOREVER.
- 00:04:40.603 --> 00:04:42.438
- AND IN THAT LITTLE WORD ANOTHER IS THE WHOLE KEY
- 00:04:42.438 --> 00:04:45.775
- TO UNDERSTANDING THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
- 00:04:45.775 --> 00:04:48.878
- BECAUSE WHEN WE READ THE BIBLE IN THE LANGUAGE IT
- 00:04:48.878 --> 00:04:50.513
- WAS WRITTEN, THERE ARE 2 DIFFERENT WORDS THAT WE
- 00:04:50.513 --> 00:04:52.915
- TRANSLATE ANOTHER.
- 00:04:52.915 --> 00:04:55.451
- ONE, HETEROS MEANS ANOTHER OF A DIFFERENT KIND.
- 00:04:55.451 --> 00:04:59.422
- IN OTHER WORDS, WE GET OUR WORD HETEROSEXUAL
- 00:04:59.422 --> 00:05:01.424
- FROM THAT WORD.
- 00:05:01.424 --> 00:05:02.992
- HERE'S A HUMAN BEING WHOSE A MALE BUT HERE'S
- 00:05:02.992 --> 00:05:05.561
- ANOTHER HUMAN BEING OF A DIFFERENT KIND, A FEMALE.
- 00:05:05.561 --> 00:05:09.031
- BUT THERE'S ANOTHER GREEK WORD ALLOS, THAT MEANS
- 00:05:09.031 --> 00:05:13.736
- ANOTHER OF EXACTLY THE SAME KIND, SAME MAKE,
- 00:05:13.736 --> 00:05:17.907
- SAME MODEL.
- 00:05:17.907 --> 00:05:19.442
- FOR EXAMPLE, I'VE GOT
- 00:05:19.442 --> 00:05:20.877
- A SAILOR FOUNTAIN PEN IN MY POCKET MADE IN JAPAN.
- 00:05:20.877 --> 00:05:24.680
- IF I SAID HERE IS A PEN, AND I HAD A LITTLE
- 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:29.585
- PLASTIC BIC PEN HERE AND I SAID HERE'S ANOTHER
- 00:05:29.585 --> 00:05:31.687
- PEN, I WOULD HAVE USED HETEROS, BUT IF I HAD
- 00:05:31.687 --> 00:05:35.558
- ANOTHER ONE, SAME COLOR, SAME MAKE, SAME MODEL,
- 00:05:35.558 --> 00:05:37.994
- AND I SAID HERE'S THIS PEN, HERE'S ANOTHER ONE,
- 00:05:37.994 --> 00:05:40.897
- IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SAME MAKE, SAME MODEL.
- 00:05:40.897 --> 00:05:42.398
- THAT'S THE WORD JESUS USED WHEN HE SAID THE
- 00:05:42.398 --> 00:05:45.101
- PROMISE OF THE FATHER IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
- 00:05:45.101 --> 00:05:47.570
- ANOTHER COMFORTER.
- 00:05:47.570 --> 00:05:48.871
- JESUS SAID IT'S ME.
- 00:05:48.871 --> 00:05:50.540
- SAME MAKE.
- 00:05:50.540 --> 00:05:51.574
- SAME MODEL.
- 00:05:51.574 --> 00:05:52.708
- IT'S ME.
- 00:05:52.708 --> 00:05:53.776
- I'M COMING BACK IN THE PERSON OF MY SPIRIT, THE
- 00:05:53.776 --> 00:05:56.212
- FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:05:56.212 --> 00:05:58.815
- AND SO THE PASSION CODE IS DIVIDED INTO THREE SECTIONS.
- 00:05:58.815 --> 00:06:04.353
- FIRST, WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN THAT GOD IS
- 00:06:04.353 --> 00:06:06.022
- WITH US?
- 00:06:06.022 --> 00:06:08.024
- THE INCARNATION.
- 00:06:08.024 --> 00:06:10.393
- BECAUSE IT MEANS SO MUCH TO OUR LIVES.
- 00:06:10.393 --> 00:06:12.662
- WITHOUT THE INCARNATION, WITHOUT CHRIST COMING AND
- 00:06:12.662 --> 00:06:14.030
- HUMBLING HIMSELF, EMPTYING HIMSELF,
- 00:06:14.030 --> 00:06:16.265
- BECOMING AND TAKING ON THE FORM OF A SERVANT AND
- 00:06:16.265 --> 00:06:20.136
- CLOTHING HIMSELF IN HUMAN FLESH AND WALKING AMONG
- 00:06:20.136 --> 00:06:21.871
- US, HE COULD HAVE NEVER DIED FOR US AND HAD HE
- 00:06:21.871 --> 00:06:24.407
- NEVER DIED FOR US, HE WOULD NOT BE LIVING
- 00:06:24.407 --> 00:06:27.043
- IN US TODAY.
- 00:06:27.043 --> 00:06:28.945
- AND SO THE PERSON AND POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
- 00:06:28.945 --> 00:06:31.747
- IS THE PASSION.
- 00:06:31.747 --> 00:06:33.783
- SO WE WROTE THE PASSION CODE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, A
- 00:06:33.783 --> 00:06:36.853
- PASSION IS AN INTENSE LONGING.
- 00:06:36.853 --> 00:06:38.621
- AND WE HEAR SOMEBODY SAY, HE HAS A PASSION FOR
- 00:06:38.621 --> 00:06:42.358
- GOLF, OR SHE HAS A PASSION FOR MUSIC.
- 00:06:42.358 --> 00:06:45.695
- WELL, JESUS LIVED WITH A PASSION, AND HIS PASSION
- 00:06:45.695 --> 00:06:50.366
- WAS TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER WHO SENT HIM.
- 00:06:50.366 --> 00:06:53.236
- IF YOU REMEMBER AT SYCHAR, THE WOMAN AT THE
- 00:06:53.236 --> 00:06:55.304
- WELL, AFTER THAT, FINALLY THE DISCIPLES CAME AND
- 00:06:55.304 --> 00:06:56.839
- BROUGHT HIM LUNCH.
- 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:57.974
- HE SAID I'M NOT HUNGRY.
- 00:06:57.974 --> 00:06:59.175
- MY MEAT, THE THING THAT SUSTAINS ME IS WHAT?
- 00:06:59.175 --> 00:07:02.678
- TO DO THE WILL OF HIM WHO SENT ME.
- 00:07:02.678 --> 00:07:04.847
- AND THEN THAT NIGHT UNDER GETHSEMANE'S GARDEN TREES,
- 00:07:04.847 --> 00:07:07.750
- THE NIGHT BEFORE THE CRUCIFIXION, NOT MY WILL
- 00:07:07.750 --> 00:07:11.954
- BUT YOUR WILL BE DONE.
- 00:07:11.954 --> 00:07:13.656
- THAT WAS HIS PASSION, TO DO THE FATHER'S WILL.
- 00:07:13.656 --> 00:07:15.625
- AND YES, HE WENT TO THE CROSS TO DIE FOR OUR SINS.
- 00:07:15.625 --> 00:07:18.728
- YES, IT MEANS ALL THAT TO US, BUT PRIMARILY TO BE
- 00:07:18.728 --> 00:07:22.732
- OBEDIENT TO THE FATHER'S WILL.
- 00:07:22.732 --> 00:07:24.467
- - WOW.
- 00:07:24.467 --> 00:07:25.434
- - LAURIE CROUCH: DID YOU PRACTICE THAT?
- 00:07:25.434 --> 00:07:26.435
- - NO.
- 00:07:26.435 --> 00:07:27.236
- - WOW.
- 00:07:27.236 --> 00:07:28.804
- - BUT I GOT SOME BETTER STUFF THAN THAT.
- 00:07:28.804 --> 00:07:30.339
- - LET ME SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS.
- 00:07:30.339 --> 00:07:32.074
- FIRST OF ALL, YOU SOUND LIKE A PREACHER, OKAY.
- 00:07:32.074 --> 00:07:34.911
- THAT'S ONE THING.
- 00:07:34.911 --> 00:07:36.112
- SO YOU'VE HAD SOME EXPERIENCE BEING A
- 00:07:36.112 --> 00:07:37.680
- PREACHER, OKAY.
- 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.449
- SECOND THING IS I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE SAID A
- 00:07:40.449 --> 00:07:42.084
- WORLD RECORD FOR ME ASKING ONE QUESTION AND
- 00:07:42.084 --> 00:07:45.788
- YOU TALKING UNINTERRUPTED.
- 00:07:45.788 --> 00:07:47.924
- - NOT POSSIBLE.
- 00:07:47.924 --> 00:07:49.559
- - THAT MAY BE A RECORD.
- 00:07:49.559 --> 00:07:50.960
- - THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
- 00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:51.861
- - LISTEN --
- 00:07:51.861 --> 00:07:52.862
- - AND THE ONLY REASON YOU CAN TALK
- 00:07:52.862 --> 00:07:54.030
- TO HIM LIKE THAT IS THAT WE'VE KNOWN HIM FOR LIKE --
- 00:07:54.030 --> 00:07:56.232
- - EVER.
- 00:07:56.232 --> 00:07:57.767
- - AND I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO CUT ME OFF TO GIVE
- 00:07:57.767 --> 00:07:59.335
- ME THE SIGNAL BUT IT NEVER CAME.
- 00:07:59.335 --> 00:08:00.937
- - SO GOD WITH US, GOD FOR US, GOD IN US IS
- 00:08:00.937 --> 00:08:05.942
- REALLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS, AND THAT IS
- 00:08:05.942 --> 00:08:10.212
- THE PASSION CODE.
- 00:08:10.212 --> 00:08:12.748
- O. S., HELP ME REMEMBER THE PASSION CODE.
- 00:08:12.748 --> 00:08:15.484
- YOU'VE WRITTEN JESUS CODE.
- 00:08:15.484 --> 00:08:16.986
- YOU'VE WRITTEN OTHER -- - JOSHUA CODE.
- 00:08:16.986 --> 00:08:18.821
- WE'VE GOT A WHOLE CODE SERIES.
- 00:08:18.821 --> 00:08:21.023
- - RIGHT.
- 00:08:21.023 --> 00:08:22.258
- - THEY SOLD OVER THANK GOD OVER 2 MILLION COPIES

- WE SUPPORT OLD RETIRED PASTORS AND WIDOWS LIVING
- 00:08:27.630 --> 00:08:30.032
- AT THE POVERTY LEVEL, SO YEAH, THE JOSHUA CODE WAS
- 00:08:30.032 --> 00:08:32.635
- 52 SCRIPTURE VERSES EVERY BELIEVER OUGHT TO KNOW.

- AVAILABLE TO ALL YOUR LISTENERS AND DONORS.

- THE JESUS CODE IS 52 SCRIPTURE QUESTIONS EVERY
- 00:08:41.978 --> 00:08:45.081
- BELIEVER OUGHT TO ANSWER.
- 00:08:45.081 --> 00:08:46.716
- - BE ABLE -- - I BELIEVE THERE ARE 52
- 00:08:46.716 --> 00:08:49.218
- QUESTIONS IN THE BIBLE BEFORE YOU CAN GET TO
- 00:08:49.218 --> 00:08:51.420
- HEAVEN YOU BETTER BE ABLE TO ANSWER.
- 00:08:51.420 --> 00:08:53.222
- - AND TODAY THE PASSION CODE IS UPON US.
- 00:08:53.222 --> 00:08:55.725
- O. S. HAWKINS, THANK YOU.
- 00:08:55.725 --> 00:08:57.259
- IT IS OUR MONTHLY RESOURCE.
- 00:08:57.259 --> 00:08:59.462
- THE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO

- CALL RIGHT NOW, AND ACQUIRE THIS.
- 00:09:03.332 --> 00:09:06.435
- 100 DAYS WITH JESUS.
- 00:09:06.435 --> 00:09:09.138
- SO THIS IS REALLY A WAKE UP KIND OF FIRST THING,
- 00:09:09.138 --> 00:09:14.777
- HAVE IT ON THE NIGHTSTAND, THIS IS YOUR
- 00:09:14.777 --> 00:09:17.813
- KIND OF WORD FOR THE DAY KIND OF THING.
- 00:09:17.813 --> 00:09:20.282
- - RIGHT.
- 00:09:20.282 --> 00:09:21.117
- - OKAY.
- 00:09:21.117 --> 00:09:22.284
- HOW DOES THIS -HOW DOES THAT WORK?
- 00:09:22.284 --> 00:09:26.589
- HOW DOES SOMEONE BECOME CLOSER TO JESUS IN 100--
- 00:09:26.589 --> 00:09:31.494
- WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THE PERSON THAT DOES THIS?
- 00:09:31.494 --> 00:09:33.996
- - WELL, THIS PASSION CODE TAKES US ON
- 00:09:33.996 --> 00:09:36.699
- A JOURNEY.
- 00:09:36.699 --> 00:09:37.667
- - OKAY.
- 00:09:37.667 --> 00:09:38.701
- - AND THE MOTIVATION BEHIND IT IS FOR US TO
- 00:09:38.701 --> 00:09:41.604
- FINISH THIS BOOK IN 100 DAYS WITH A NEW PASSION
- 00:09:41.604 --> 00:09:45.508
- TO KNOW CHRIST.
- 00:09:45.508 --> 00:09:46.575
- AND IT LEADS UP ALL THAT ABOUT THE INCARNATION WE
- 00:09:46.575 --> 00:09:49.445
- NEED TO KNOW AND WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND.
- 00:09:49.445 --> 00:09:51.781
- MOST OF US KNOW, WE'VE HEARD THAT JESUS DIED ON
- 00:09:51.781 --> 00:09:54.350
- THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS, BUT WHAT DOES THAT
- 00:09:54.350 --> 00:09:56.419
- REALLY MEAN?
- 00:09:56.419 --> 00:09:57.653
- WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN?
- 00:09:57.653 --> 00:09:58.487
- WHAT DID HE REALLY GO THROUGH?
- 00:09:58.487 --> 00:09:59.822
- WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE
- 00:09:59.822 --> 00:10:02.792
- GONE ASTRAY BUT GOD LAID ON HIM THE SINS OF US ALL?
- 00:10:02.792 --> 00:10:07.329
- AND HE SUFFERED THE SHAME AND THE HURT AND
- 00:10:07.329 --> 00:10:09.131
- THE HUMILIATION.
- 00:10:09.131 --> 00:10:10.066
- THE PAIN, THE AGONY, THE DEATH.
- 00:10:10.066 --> 00:10:11.534
- BUT THEN WE END IN THAT LAST THIRD OF THE BOOK
- 00:10:11.534 --> 00:10:15.638
- WITH WHAT I CONSIDER THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR
- 00:10:15.638 --> 00:10:18.741
- THE CHRISTIAN JOURNEY AND DEVELOPING PASSION IS
- 00:10:18.741 --> 00:10:20.609
- THAT IS COMING TO KNOW THE PERSON AND THE POWER
- 00:10:20.609 --> 00:10:23.379
- OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR LIVES.
- 00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:25.848
- AND IN THE WAY HE MANIFESTS HIMSELF.
- 00:10:25.848 --> 00:10:28.350
- YOU KNOW, THERE'S ONE COMMANDMENT ABOUT THE
- 00:10:28.350 --> 00:10:31.320
- HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:32.788
- HOLY SPIRIT COMES TO LIVE IN US WHEN WE COME TO
- 00:10:32.788 --> 00:10:34.557
- KNOW CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOR.
- 00:10:34.557 --> 00:10:36.025
- JESUS SAID HE'S THE SAME MAKE, SAME MODEL AS ME.
- 00:10:36.025 --> 00:10:38.694
- THE TRINITY, WHAT A MYSTERY.
- 00:10:38.694 --> 00:10:40.596
- THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:10:40.596 --> 00:10:43.265
- EVERYTHING IS A TRIAD.
- 00:10:43.265 --> 00:10:46.202
- WE'RE MADE UP OF WHAT?
- 00:10:46.202 --> 00:10:47.470
- SPIRIT, SOUL, AND BODY.
- 00:10:47.470 --> 00:10:49.572
- MOST PEOPLE -THAT'S 1 THESSALONIANS 5 :23.
- 00:10:49.572 --> 00:10:52.341
- WE'RE TRICHOTOMISTS IN THAT SENSING.
- 00:10:52.341 --> 00:10:54.777
- DICHOTOMISTS THE MISSED IN THE SENSE YOU CAN'T
- 00:10:54.777 --> 00:10:57.480
- SEPARATE THE SPIRIT AND THE SOUL.
- 00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:58.814
- MOST OF US SAY IF YOU ASK THAT QUESTION, WE'RE
- 00:10:58.814 --> 00:11:01.250
- BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT BECAUSE WE'RE SO
- 00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:02.685
- BODY CONSCIOUS.
- 00:11:02.685 --> 00:11:04.320
- WE SPEND ALL OUR TIME TAKING CARE OF THAT PART
- 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.122
- OF US THAT'S GOING TO GO TO DUST, BUT I'M NOT A BODY.
- 00:11:06.122 --> 00:11:08.357
- I AM A SPIRIT.
- 00:11:08.357 --> 00:11:10.226
- I HAVE A SOUL, THE SEED OF MY EMOTIONS, AND I
- 00:11:10.226 --> 00:11:12.795
- LIVE IN A BODY, BUT I AM A SPIRIT, AND I CAN
- 00:11:12.795 --> 00:11:15.331
- CONNECT WITH GOD.
- 00:11:15.331 --> 00:11:16.565
- THAT'S WHAT DIFFERENTIATES US FROM
- 00:11:16.565 --> 00:11:17.833
- ALL THE OTHER CREATED ORDER.
- 00:11:17.833 --> 00:11:19.635
- SO EVERYTHING, MATT AND LAURIE, IS A TRIAD.
- 00:11:19.635 --> 00:11:21.871
- JUST A BRIEF ILLUSTRATION BEFORE YOU JUMP IN
- 00:11:21.871 --> 00:11:24.573
- BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GO TOO LONG [ LAUGHTER ]
- 00:11:24.573 --> 00:11:26.375
- BUT TAKE THE COMMANDMENT TO BE FILLED WITH THE
- 00:11:26.375 --> 00:11:28.277
- HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:11:28.277 --> 00:11:29.712
- EPHESIANS 5: 8.
- 00:11:29.712 --> 00:11:31.647
- DON'T BE DRUNK WITH WINE BUT BE FILLED WITH THE
- 00:11:31.647 --> 00:11:34.717
- HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:11:34.717 --> 00:11:35.918
- WHEN I WENT TO MY FIRST PASTORATE IN 1972 IN HOBERT,
- 00:11:35.918 --> 00:11:38.120
- OKLAHOMA, THERE WAS A LAWYER I MET DOWNTOWN
- 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:40.856
- THAT THIS BEEN KICKED OUT OF THE CHURCH AND OFF THE
- 00:11:40.856 --> 00:11:42.992
- DEACON BODY BEFORE I GOT THERE BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN
- 00:11:42.992 --> 00:11:45.895
- UP IN OKLAHOMA CITY 200 MILES AWAY HAVING DINNER,
- 00:11:45.895 --> 00:11:49.031
- AND SOMEBODY CAUGHT HIM DRINKING A GLASS OF WINE.
- 00:11:49.031 --> 00:11:51.801
- AND THOSE DEACONS SAID THE BIBLE SAYS DON'T BE
- 00:11:51.801 --> 00:11:54.904
- DRUNK WITH WINE.
- 00:11:54.904 --> 00:11:55.971
- HE'S OUT OF HERE.
- 00:11:55.971 --> 00:11:57.306
- SO IN THE FIRST DEACONS MEETING I DIDN'T KNOW
- 00:11:57.306 --> 00:11:58.941
- ANY BETTER.
- 00:11:58.941 --> 00:12:00.242
- SO I SAID THE REST OF THAT VERSE SAID BE FILLED
- 00:12:00.242 --> 00:12:02.278
- WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:12:02.278 --> 00:12:03.979
- WE'RE GOING TO KICK THE REST OF YOU OUT OF HERE
- 00:12:03.979 --> 00:12:05.514
- THAT AREN'T BEING FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:12:05.514 --> 00:12:07.249
- [ LAUGHTER ]
- 00:12:07.249 --> 00:12:08.484
- I DIDN'T SAY THAT BUT THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT I
- 00:12:08.484 --> 00:12:09.752
- SHOULD HAVE SAID.
- 00:12:09.752 --> 00:12:10.686
- - YOU WANTED TO.
- 00:12:10.686 --> 00:12:11.754
- - BUT TAKE THAT VERSE, THAT'S OUR GOD'S COMMAND
- 00:12:11.754 --> 00:12:13.455
- TO US WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:12:13.455 --> 00:12:14.623
- WE'RE TO BE FILLED WITH GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:12:14.623 --> 00:12:16.792
- WHAT'S THE EVIDENCE?
- 00:12:16.792 --> 00:12:18.027
- HOW ARE WE GOING TO KNOW THE EVIDENCE?
- 00:12:18.027 --> 00:12:19.228
- SOME PEOPLE THINK IT'S CERTAIN GIFTS.
- 00:12:19.228 --> 00:12:20.529
- BUT THERE'S NO PERIOD AT THE END OF VERSE 18 IN
- 00:12:20.529 --> 00:12:23.732
- EPHESIANS 5 BECAUSE THE NEXT VERSE, SINGING AND
- 00:12:23.732 --> 00:12:28.838
- MAKING MELODY IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD, THAT'S
- 00:12:28.838 --> 00:12:30.906
- THE INWARD EVIDENCE.
- 00:12:30.906 --> 00:12:32.141
- IF YOU'RE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU KNOW HOW
- 00:12:32.141 --> 00:12:33.909
- YOU'LL KNOW IT?
- 00:12:33.909 --> 00:12:34.844
- YOU'LL HAVE A SONG IN YOUR HEART.
- 00:12:34.844 --> 00:12:35.911
- - YES.
- 00:12:35.911 --> 00:12:36.779
- - YOU CAN'T HELP THAT.
- 00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:37.613
- YOU'LL HAVE A SONG IN YOUR HEART.
- 00:12:37.613 --> 00:12:38.547
- THE NEXT VERSE, VERSE 20, THAT'S THE
- 00:12:38.547 --> 00:12:40.783
- UPWARD EVIDENCE.
- 00:12:40.783 --> 00:12:42.084
- GIVING THANKS ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYERS
- 00:12:42.084 --> 00:12:43.586
- AND SUPPLICATION.
- 00:12:43.586 --> 00:12:45.020
- GIVING THANKS, THAT'S HOW WE LET GOD KNOW THAT
- 00:12:45.020 --> 00:12:49.225
- WE'RE FILLED BECAUSE WE'RE GRATEFUL.
- 00:12:49.225 --> 00:12:52.061
- WE'RE THANKFUL.
- 00:12:52.061 --> 00:12:53.195
- WE'RE THANKING GOD ALL THE TIME.
- 00:12:53.195 --> 00:12:54.864
- AND THEN THE NEXT VERSE IS THE OUTWARD EVIDENCE,
- 00:12:54.864 --> 00:12:58.167
- SUBMITTING YOURSELVES ONE TO ANOTHER IN THE FEAR
- 00:12:58.167 --> 00:13:01.837
- OF GOD.
- 00:13:01.837 --> 00:13:02.805
- AND SO THAT'S THE EVIDENCE OF IT.
- 00:13:02.805 --> 00:13:05.808
- SO ALL OF IT, TAKE THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT.
- 00:13:05.808 --> 00:13:07.710
- YOU KNOW, THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IN GALATIANS,
- 00:13:07.710 --> 00:13:10.279
- THE SAME 3 EVIDENCES WE FIND RIGHT THERE, THE
- 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:13.515
- UPWARD EVIDENCE, LOVE, JOY, PEACE.
- 00:13:13.515 --> 00:13:17.219
- THE OUTWARD EVIDENCE, OTHER PEOPLE AROUND US,
- 00:13:17.219 --> 00:13:19.989
- LONG SUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS.
- 00:13:19.989 --> 00:13:22.725
- WHAT'S THE INWARD EVIDENCE?
- 00:13:22.725 --> 00:13:24.293
- THE LAST THREE, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS,
- 00:13:24.293 --> 00:13:26.695
- SELF-CONTROL.
- 00:13:26.695 --> 00:13:28.264
- SO THE WHOLE THING IS WRAPPED UP IN THE FATHER
- 00:13:28.264 --> 00:13:30.599
- AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
- 00:13:30.599 --> 00:13:31.967
- AND IN THIS TRIAD THAT'S COME TO US.
- 00:13:31.967 --> 00:13:35.070
- AND SO THE LAST PART OF THIS PASSION CODE IS TO
- 00:13:35.070 --> 00:13:36.839
- GET US TO A REAL PASSION AND A LONGING TO KNOW WHO
- 00:13:36.839 --> 00:13:40.409
- THE HOLY SPIRIT IS, TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY
- 00:13:40.409 --> 00:13:42.745
- SPIRIT THAT IT MIGHT BE MANIFEST IN OUR LIVES,
- 00:13:42.745 --> 00:13:45.614
- THAT WE HAVE A SONG IN OUR HEART AND WE HAVE OUR
- 00:13:45.614 --> 00:13:47.716
- ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE AND THANKSGIVING, AND THAT WE
- 00:13:47.716 --> 00:13:51.020
- ESTEEM OTHER PEOPLE AS BETTER THAN OURSELVES.
- 00:13:51.020 --> 00:13:54.890
- - BEAUTIFUL.
- 00:13:54.890 --> 00:13:56.725
- - OKAY.
- 00:13:56.725 --> 00:13:57.860
- I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU.
- 00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:58.994
- HELP ME WITH SOMETHING.
- 00:13:58.994 --> 00:14:00.863
- IT FEELS LIKE, O. S.,
- 00:14:00.863 --> 00:14:06.869
- THAT IN A LOT OF WAYS IN MY LIFETIME SOME OF
- 00:14:06.869 --> 00:14:12.675
- THESE BARRIERS THAT KEPT THE BODY OF CHRIST APART
- 00:14:12.675 --> 00:14:17.713
- LIKE BAPTISTS AND CHARISMATIC GROUPS AND
- 00:14:17.713 --> 00:14:21.717
- THEY DIDN'T SEE EYE TO EYE AND ALL THIS KIND OF
- 00:14:21.717 --> 00:14:24.586
- STUFF, YOU'RE SOUNDING LIKE, YOU KNOW, E.V.
- 00:14:24.586 --> 00:14:31.260
- HILL FROM 1985.
- 00:14:31.260 --> 00:14:33.929
- YOU'RE SOUNDING LIKE C. M. WARD.
- 00:14:33.929 --> 00:14:36.665
- - YES.
- 00:14:36.665 --> 00:14:37.766
- OH, MAN.
- 00:14:37.766 --> 00:14:38.600
- THERE'S A NAME WE HAVEN'T HEARD.
- 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.002
- - OKAY.
- 00:14:40.002 --> 00:14:41.737
- BUT YOU DIDN'T LEARN ANY OF THAT AT SEMINARY.
- 00:14:41.737 --> 00:14:43.639
- - NO, BUT I LEARNED IT BY DEVELOPING A PASSION
- 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.242
- MYSELF FOR THE GOSPEL AND I'LL JUST GIVE YOU --
- 00:14:47.242 --> 00:14:49.411
- - TAKE US ON THAT JOURNEY.
- 00:14:49.411 --> 00:14:51.080
- - LET ME TAKE YOU BACK ON THAT JOURNEY TO -WHEN
- 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:55.084
- DID YOUR DAD GET THE HIGH MIAMI STATION?
- 00:14:55.084 --> 00:14:57.586
- - 81.
- 00:14:57.586 --> 00:14:59.888
- I WAS PASTOR OF FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN
- 00:14:58.721 --> 00:15:01.623
- FT. LAUDERDALE.
- 00:15:01.623 --> 00:15:02.558
- - YES, YOU WERE.
- 00:15:02.558 --> 00:15:03.692
- - IN FACT -- - THAT'S WHEN WE MET.
- 00:15:03.692 --> 00:15:05.461
- - I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THESE CAMERAMEN THAT ARE
- 00:15:05.461 --> 00:15:07.796
- HERE TODAY BECAUSE THESE CAMERAMEN
- 00:15:07.796 --> 00:15:09.765
- ARE PROFESSIONALS.
- 00:15:09.765 --> 00:15:10.799
- I HAD A PROGRAM CALLED LIFELINE WE DID OUT
- 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.736
- ON LOCATION.
- 00:15:13.736 --> 00:15:15.404
- AND I WANT YOUR VIEWERS TO KNOW I HAD THE
- 00:15:15.404 --> 00:15:17.039
- SORRIEST CAMERA MAN THAT EVER LIVED.
- 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.575
- [ LAUGHTER ]
- 00:15:19.575 --> 00:15:20.676
- - BUT NOW HE'S SITTING HERE IN A COAT AND TIE
- 00:15:20.676 --> 00:15:22.411
- AND THIS IS HOW FAR HE'S COME.
- 00:15:22.411 --> 00:15:23.679
- [ LAUGHTER ]
- 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:24.913
- WHEN YOUR DAD BOUGHT THAT STATION IN 81, I WAS
- 00:15:24.913 --> 00:15:26.348
- PASTOR THERE AT
- 00:15:26.348 --> 00:15:27.950
- FT. LAUDERDALE.
- 00:15:27.950 --> 00:15:28.951
- - AND I WAS YOUR CAMERA MAN.
- 00:15:28.951 --> 00:15:29.852
- - YOU WERE AND I WAS SO GRATEFUL.
- 00:15:29.852 --> 00:15:30.753
- WE HAD FUN.
- 00:15:30.753 --> 00:15:31.553
- - 17 YEARS OLD.
- 00:15:31.553 --> 00:15:33.322
- - BUT YOUR DAD AND I GOT TO BE BUDDIES, AND I WAS
- 00:15:33.322 --> 00:15:37.426
- A BAPTIST, AND HE CAME OUT OF THE ASSEMBLIES.
- 00:15:37.426 --> 00:15:41.997
- I WAS GREAT FRIENDS WITH OLD DOCTOR ZIMMERMAN WHO
- 00:15:41.997 --> 00:15:45.267
- WAS THE HEAD OF THE ASSEMBLY OF GOD THERE AND
- 00:15:45.267 --> 00:15:48.637
- ORAL ROBERTS, THEY LIVED IN THE WINTERS DOWN THERE
- 00:15:48.637 --> 00:15:50.639
- AND ORAL AND I WERE GOOD FRIENDS.
- 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.641
- BUT WHAT I LIKED ABOUT YOUR DAD WHEN HE WAS
- 00:15:52.641 --> 00:15:55.044
- STARTING TBN, THE WAY I SAY IT IS SOME PEOPLE
- 00:15:55.044 --> 00:15:58.947
- HAVE CHARISMANIA.
- 00:15:58.947 --> 00:16:01.083
- I MEAN, THEY'RE JUST CRAZY.
- 00:16:01.083 --> 00:16:02.384
- THEY'RE NOT BOUND BY THE SCRIPTURES.
- 00:16:02.384 --> 00:16:04.686
- THEY'RE NOT BOUND BY ANYTHING.
- 00:16:04.686 --> 00:16:05.921
- THEY JUST ANYTHING THAT COMES ALONG --
- 00:16:05.921 --> 00:16:07.623
- - YOU'RE RIGHT.
- 00:16:07.623 --> 00:16:08.490
- - OTHER PEOPLE HAVE CHARISPHOBIA.
- 00:16:08.490 --> 00:16:09.792
- - YEP.
- 00:16:09.792 --> 00:16:11.093
- - I MEAN, THEY'RE AFRAID OF ANYTHING THAT HAS TO
- 00:16:11.093 --> 00:16:12.428
- DO WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:16:12.428 --> 00:16:13.896
- CHARISMATIC IN THE TRUEST SENSE, A
- 00:16:13.896 --> 00:16:21.136
- GRACE GIFT, THAT CROSSES ALL DENOMINATIONAL LINES,
- 00:16:21.136 --> 00:16:27.209
- AND FOR SOME PEOPLE IT CAN MEAN SOME THINGS.
- 00:16:27.209 --> 00:16:29.745
- FOR OTHER PEOPLE IT MEANS OTHER THINGS, BUT IT
- 00:16:29.745 --> 00:16:31.747
- NEVER WAS A POINT OF DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN
- 00:16:31.747 --> 00:16:36.718
- ME AND ANYBODY ELSE BECAUSE I KNEW WHO THE
- 00:16:36.718 --> 00:16:40.122
- HOLY SPIRIT WAS AND I KNEW WHAT HE COULD DO IN
- 00:16:40.122 --> 00:16:42.491
- MY LIFE.
- 00:16:42.491 --> 00:16:43.559
- I KNEW HE WAS ALIVE IN ME, AND I KNEW THE POWER
- 00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:46.095
- THAT CAME AND HAVING A PASSION TO SERVE THE LORD
- 00:16:46.095 --> 00:16:49.965
- JESUS CHRIST THROUGH IT.
- 00:16:49.965 --> 00:16:51.800
- - THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WE WERE JUST IN
- 00:16:51.800 --> 00:16:59.875
- ATLANTA, GEORGIA, AND WE DID A BEAUTIFUL INTERVIEW
- 00:16:59.875 --> 00:17:05.881
- WITH DOCTOR CHARLES STANLEY.
- 00:17:05.881 --> 00:17:07.349
- - RIGHT.
- 00:17:07.349 --> 00:17:08.550
- - WE'VE DONE A COUPLE OF THEM BUT RECENTLY,
- 00:17:08.550 --> 00:17:15.991
- AND HE POINTED OUT TO US A MOMENT IN HIS LIFE WHEN
- 00:17:15.991 --> 00:17:22.564
- HE SAW SOMETHING IN FRONT OF HIM THAT SAID ATLANTA.
- 00:17:22.564 --> 00:17:27.336
- IT WAS LIKE IT'S ALMOST LIKE HE SAW A VISION OF
- 00:17:27.336 --> 00:17:30.339
- SOME SORT THAT SAID ATLANTA, FELT LIKE HIS
- 00:17:30.339 --> 00:17:33.342
- LIFE WAS ALTERED BY THE MOVE THAT HE WAS THEN
- 00:17:33.342 --> 00:17:36.311
- GOING TO TAKE SHORTLY.
- 00:17:36.311 --> 00:17:39.581
- GOD CAN INTERRUPT THE NORMAL THINGS AND DO
- 00:17:39.581 --> 00:17:45.053
- UNIQUE THINGS THAT CHANGES THE COURSE OF
- 00:17:45.053 --> 00:17:48.056
- YOUR LIFE. THAT'S GOD IN US.
- 00:17:48.056 --> 00:17:52.194
- THAT IS GOD INSTRUCTING US.
- 00:17:52.194 --> 00:17:53.896
- - ABSOLUTELY.
- 00:17:53.896 --> 00:17:55.097
- - EXPLAIN HOW THAT WORKS.
- 00:17:55.097 --> 00:17:56.732
- BECAUSE YOU HAVE MADE A FULL JOURNEY IN REGARD TO
- 00:17:56.732 --> 00:18:01.637
- UNDERSTANDING AND WRITING BOOKS ABOUT THE PASSION
- 00:18:01.637 --> 00:18:05.474
- CODE, GOD IN US.
- 00:18:05.474 --> 00:18:07.543
- SO EXPLAIN THAT TO SOMEBODY THAT MIGHT NOT
- 00:18:07.543 --> 00:18:10.445
- UNDERSTAND WHAT DOCTOR CHARLES STANLEY
- 00:18:10.445 --> 00:18:13.115
- EXPERIENCED OR WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY.
- 00:18:13.115 --> 00:18:15.184
- - WELL, BEFORE CHARLES EVER WHOSE A DEAR DEAR
- 00:18:15.184 --> 00:18:18.820
- FRIEND OF MINE, AND INCIDENTALLY I'VE
- 00:18:18.820 --> 00:18:20.923
- PREACHED AT HIS CHURCH IN ATLANTA MANY TIMES, AND
- 00:18:20.923 --> 00:18:25.294
- THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT IT IS BEFORE -HE
- 00:18:25.294 --> 00:18:28.230
- HAS PRAYER CLOSET IN HIS OFFICE AND WE'D GO GET ON
- 00:18:28.230 --> 00:18:31.099
- OUR FACE IN THAT PRAYER CLOSET.
- 00:18:31.099 --> 00:18:33.235
- ANYBODY THAT HASN'T HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF PRAYING
- 00:18:33.235 --> 00:18:34.970
- WITH CHARLES STANLEY HAS NEVER BEEN IN A PRAYER
- 00:18:34.970 --> 00:18:37.339
- MEETING, LET ME TELL YOU.
- 00:18:37.339 --> 00:18:38.640
- BUT BEFORE DOCTOR STANLEY EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
- 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:40.876
- OR DOCTOR CHRISWELL CAME TO FIRST BAPTIST DALLAS
- 00:18:40.876 --> 00:18:44.012
- IN 1944 BECAUSE GOD GAVE HIM A DREAM.
- 00:18:44.012 --> 00:18:46.481
- AND SO WE HAVE A GOD WHO SPEAKS TO US.
- 00:18:46.481 --> 00:18:49.952
- USUALLY BY HIS SPIRIT THROUGH HIS WORD, BUT
- 00:18:49.952 --> 00:18:52.154
- BEFORE THEY EVER DID THAT, ISAIAH SAID IT THIS
- 00:18:52.154 --> 00:18:55.724
- WAY IN ISAIAH 30: 21, HE SAID, WHETHER THEREFORE
- 00:18:55.724 --> 00:18:59.628
- YOU GO TO THE LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT YOU'LL HEAR A
- 00:18:59.628 --> 00:19:03.565
- VOICE BEHIND YOU.
- 00:19:03.565 --> 00:19:05.100
- - THANK YOU, LORD.
- 00:19:05.100 --> 00:19:06.101
- - SAYING THIS IS THE WAY.
- 00:19:06.101 --> 00:19:07.169
- - THANK YOU, LORD.
- 00:19:07.169 --> 00:19:08.003
- - WALK IN IT.
- 00:19:08.003 --> 00:19:09.137
- YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE LISTENERS RIGHT NOW ARE
- 00:19:09.137 --> 00:19:10.606
- AT AN INTERSECTION OF LIFE NOT KNOWING WHICH
- 00:19:10.606 --> 00:19:13.408
- WAY TO TURN.
- 00:19:13.408 --> 00:19:14.643
- GOD THE BIBLE SAYS WILL MAKE KNOWN TO YOU THE
- 00:19:14.643 --> 00:19:17.679
- PATH OF LIFE.
- 00:19:17.679 --> 00:19:18.780
- IN HIS PRESENCE IS FULLNESS OF JOY.
- 00:19:18.780 --> 00:19:20.816
- IN HIS RIGHT HAND PLEASURES FOREVER MORE.
- 00:19:20.816 --> 00:19:23.352
- SO WHETHER YOU GO TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, YOU'LL
- 00:19:23.352 --> 00:19:26.054
- HEAR THAT VOICE BEHIND YOU SAYING THIS IS
- 00:19:26.054 --> 00:19:28.190
- THE WAY.
- 00:19:28.190 --> 00:19:29.258
- WALK IN IT.
- 00:19:29.258 --> 00:19:30.359
- AND THE WAY YOU DO THAT IS THE BIBLE SAYS IT'S
- 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.128
- OUR SPIRIT BEARING WITNESS WITH HIS SPIRIT,
- 00:19:33.128 --> 00:19:36.498
- AND IT'S AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY WHEN WE SPEND
- 00:19:36.498 --> 00:19:41.670
- EVERY DAY SEEKING TO BE LED BY GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:19:41.670 --> 00:19:47.142
- - I'D LOVE TO HEAR A STORY HOW THAT APPLIED IN
- 00:19:47.142 --> 00:19:51.313
- YOUR LIFE, BUT I'LL TELL YOU A QUICK ONE JUST TO
- 00:19:51.313 --> 00:19:53.448
- GIVE YOU A THOUGHT.
- 00:19:53.448 --> 00:19:55.817
- LAURIE AND I WENT TO BED FOUR OR FIVE DAYS AGO AND
- 00:19:55.817 --> 00:20:00.922
- I WAS PRAYING CONCERNING JUST NEEDING GOD'S REAL
- 00:20:00.922 --> 00:20:08.363
- GUIDANCE WITH SOME TECHNICAL MATTERS WE'RE
- 00:20:08.363 --> 00:20:12.234
- DEALING WITH AND WE'RE IN ESSENCE MAKING SOME
- 00:20:12.234 --> 00:20:16.505
- CHOICES FROM A TECHNICAL STANDPOINT HERE WITH SOME
- 00:20:16.505 --> 00:20:20.108
- OF OUR FREQUENCIES AND THESE TYPES OF THINGS.
- 00:20:20.108 --> 00:20:23.612
- IT WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S A TOUCH OVER MY
- 00:20:23.612 --> 00:20:25.747
- HEAD, SO I WAS REALLY JUST KIND OF GIVING SOME
- 00:20:25.747 --> 00:20:30.218
- OF THAT CONCERN TO THE LORD BY SAYING LOOK, I'M
- 00:20:30.218 --> 00:20:35.557
- NOT A TECHNICAL ENGINEER AND SOME OF THESE
- 00:20:35.557 --> 00:20:38.393
- DECIDING THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW ARE
- 00:20:38.393 --> 00:20:41.063
- GOING TO BE VERY MEANINGFUL IN THE FUTURE
- 00:20:41.063 --> 00:20:43.565
- AND JUST PRAYING ABOUT THAT.
- 00:20:43.565 --> 00:20:45.567
- REAL INTERESTING WAY I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING.
- 00:20:45.567 --> 00:20:49.705
- I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING HAVING A SENSE
- 00:20:49.705 --> 00:20:55.644
- THAT I WAS STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIELD IN
- 00:20:55.644 --> 00:20:59.748
- ALASKA, AND I'LL EXPLAIN THAT BRIEFLY.
- 00:20:59.748 --> 00:21:03.318
- I HAD LITERALLY BEEN ON A HUNTING TRIP IN ALASKA,
- 00:21:03.318 --> 00:21:08.890
- AND THE PISTOL THAT I HAD IN MY COAT HAD FALLEN OUT
- 00:21:08.890 --> 00:21:12.861
- OF MY COAT SOMEWHERE ALONG THIS TRAIL.
- 00:21:12.861 --> 00:21:15.697
- AND IT WAS MY DAD'S GUN AND I WANTED TO GO FIND IT.
- 00:21:15.697 --> 00:21:21.470
- I RAN BACK ON THIS TRAIL.
- 00:21:21.470 --> 00:21:24.606
- WE HAD BEEN HIKING FOR 2 AND A HALF HOURS, AND I
- 00:21:24.606 --> 00:21:27.676
- RAN DOWN THIS TRAIL, GOT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THIS
- 00:21:27.676 --> 00:21:29.578
- BIG OLD FIELD LIKE THIS AND GAVE UP AND THOUGHT,
- 00:21:29.578 --> 00:21:33.181
- WHAT AM I DOING?
- 00:21:33.181 --> 00:21:35.283
- THAT PISTOL COULD BE ANYWHERE ON THIS TRAIL.
- 00:21:35.283 --> 00:21:39.855
- IT COULD BE ANYWHERE.
- 00:21:39.855 --> 00:21:41.356
- I COULD HAVE LOST IT ANYWHERE.
- 00:21:41.356 --> 00:21:42.791
- WHAT AM I DOING JUST RUNNING LIKE A MAD PERSON
- 00:21:42.791 --> 00:21:44.860
- TRYING TO GO FIND IT?
- 00:21:44.860 --> 00:21:46.895
- AND I STOPPED AND I JUST SAID, I CAN'T DO
- 00:21:46.895 --> 00:21:48.630
- THIS ANYMORE.
- 00:21:48.630 --> 00:21:50.999
- I'VE GOT TO GET BACK AND GET GOING TO THE OTHER
- 00:21:50.999 --> 00:21:54.102
- SIDE OF THIS ISLAND THAT I WAS ON.
- 00:21:54.102 --> 00:21:56.738
- AND WHERE I'D STOPPED AND GAVE UP I TURNED TO START
- 00:21:56.738 --> 00:22:01.977
- GOING BACK AND I KICKED SOMETHING AND I OPENED
- 00:22:01.977 --> 00:22:04.713
- THE BUSHES AND LOOKED DOWN AND I WAS STANDING
- 00:22:04.713 --> 00:22:07.249
- ON TOP OF THAT PISTOL THAT I HAD WITH ME, AND I
- 00:22:07.249 --> 00:22:11.620
- FEEL LIKE WHAT THAT WAS COMMUNICATING TO ME, I'VE
- 00:22:11.620 --> 00:22:15.223
- ORDERED YOUR STEPS PERFECTLY BEFORE IN A
- 00:22:15.223 --> 00:22:17.859
- SMALL MATTER.
- 00:22:17.859 --> 00:22:20.128
- I CAN ORDER YOUR STEPS IN BIGGER MATTERS.
- 00:22:20.128 --> 00:22:23.398
- AND TO SOME PEOPLE THAT MAY SOUND LIKE A REALLY
- 00:22:23.398 --> 00:22:26.501
- UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE, BUT I FELT LIKE IT WAS SUCH A
- 00:22:26.501 --> 00:22:30.105
- CONFIRMING BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE.
- 00:22:30.105 --> 00:22:32.207
- - AND IT HAPPENED 35 YEARS AGO, TOO.
- 00:22:32.207 --> 00:22:34.075
- - THAT WAS A 35 YEAR OLD EXPERIENCE.
- 00:22:34.075 --> 00:22:36.144
- I WAS A TEENAGER ON A HUNTING TRIP IN ALASKA.
- 00:22:36.144 --> 00:22:39.080
- SO ULTIMATELY, IT FELT LIKE GOD WAS SAYING I
- 00:22:39.080 --> 00:22:43.652
- KNOW HOW TO ORDER YOUR STEPS.
- 00:22:43.652 --> 00:22:45.854
- I KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
- 00:22:45.854 --> 00:22:46.788
- I'VE DONE IT BEFORE.
- 00:22:46.788 --> 00:22:47.823
- HERE.
- 00:22:47.823 --> 00:22:48.657
- LET ME REMIND YOU OF SOMETHING.
- 00:22:48.657 --> 00:22:50.091
- OKAY.
- 00:22:50.091 --> 00:22:51.326
- HOW DOES THAT -WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE?
- 00:22:51.326 --> 00:22:53.595
- - IT REMINDS ME OF WHAT HE SAID ABOUT
- 00:22:53.595 --> 00:22:55.864
- BEING FAITHFUL.
- 00:22:55.864 --> 00:22:56.932
- YOU BELIEVE -BE FAITHFUL OVER THESE LITTLE THINGS
- 00:22:56.932 --> 00:22:58.800
- AND GOD WILL MAKE YOU RULER OVER GREAT THINGS.
- 00:22:58.800 --> 00:23:01.636
- USUALLY IT'S THOSE LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT WHERE WE
- 00:23:01.636 --> 00:23:04.172
- LEARN THE BIGGEST LESSONS.
- 00:23:04.172 --> 00:23:05.307
- JESUS, WHAT DID HE TALK ABOUT?
- 00:23:05.307 --> 00:23:07.175
- BIRDS OF THE AIR AND LILIES OF THE FIELD AND
- 00:23:07.175 --> 00:23:11.780
- THE SIMPLE THINGS OF LIFE THAT HAD TREMENDOUS
- 00:23:11.780 --> 00:23:14.449
- TRUTHS TO THEM.
- 00:23:14.449 --> 00:23:15.584
- YOU KNOW, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THE WAY SUSIE
- 00:23:15.584 --> 00:23:19.087
- MY WIFE FOR SEVERAL DECADES NOW, AND I'VE
- 00:23:19.087 --> 00:23:22.424
- USUALLY BEEN LED BY GOD'S SPIRIT IS THROUGH
- 00:23:22.424 --> 00:23:25.494
- BIBLE PROMISES.
- 00:23:25.494 --> 00:23:26.795
- WE HAVE GOD'S WORD, GOD'S PROMISES TO US, AND WE
- 00:23:26.795 --> 00:23:31.766
- HAVE A GOD WHO SPEAKS TO US.
- 00:23:31.766 --> 00:23:33.768
- HE STILL SPEAKS TO US.
- 00:23:33.768 --> 00:23:35.570
- MAYBE NOT AUDIBLY.
- 00:23:35.570 --> 00:23:37.239
- MAYBE NOT THROUGH VISIONS, MAYBE NOT
- 00:23:37.239 --> 00:23:38.940
- THROUGH DREAMS.
- 00:23:38.940 --> 00:23:40.075
- MAYBE HE DOES, BUT HE SPEAKS TO US PRIMARILY
- 00:23:40.075 --> 00:23:41.977
- THROUGH HIS WORD BY HIS SPIRIT WHEN HE QUICKENS
- 00:23:41.977 --> 00:23:44.679
- A VERSE.
- 00:23:44.679 --> 00:23:45.714
- HOW MANY OF US HAVE BEEN READING A PASSAGE OF
- 00:23:45.714 --> 00:23:48.283
- SCRIPTURE, AND ALL THE SUDDEN A VERS JUMPED
- 00:23:48.283 --> 00:23:50.085
- OUT WE'D READ IT A THOUSAND TIMES BUT NEVER
- 00:23:50.085 --> 00:23:52.287
- SEEN IT UNTIL THAT READING.
- 00:23:52.287 --> 00:23:54.222
- YOU KNOW, A BIBLE PROMISE, I'M NOT TALKING
- 00:23:54.222 --> 00:23:56.458
- ABOUT YOU FINDING A BIBLE PROMISE PLAYING RUSSIAN
- 00:23:56.458 --> 00:23:59.294
- ROULETTE AND DOING THAT.
- 00:23:59.294 --> 00:24:00.996
- YOU DON'T FIND A BIBLE PROMISE.
- 00:24:00.996 --> 00:24:03.131
- A BIBLE PROMISE FINDS YOU.
- 00:24:03.131 --> 00:24:04.699
- IN THE NORMAL TRAFFIC PATTERN OF YOUR LIFE,
- 00:24:04.699 --> 00:24:08.203
- YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING YOU'RE PRAYING ABOUT.
- 00:24:08.203 --> 00:24:09.604
- YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING YOU'RE BURDENED ABOUT.
- 00:24:09.604 --> 00:24:10.972
- YOU GOT A KID THAT'S ESTRANGED.
- 00:24:10.972 --> 00:24:13.041
- YOUR SAYING LORD, HOW DO I PRAY?
- 00:24:13.041 --> 00:24:15.076
- WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
- 00:24:15.076 --> 00:24:16.177
- AND IN THE NORMAL TRAFFIC PATTERN OF YOUR BIBLE
- 00:24:16.177 --> 00:24:18.079
- READING, GOD HE'S SPIRIT WILL TAKE A VERSE AND
- 00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:20.882
- QUICKEN IT.
- 00:24:20.882 --> 00:24:22.584
- THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE SAYS IN ROMANS 10: 17, FAITH
- 00:24:22.584 --> 00:24:24.352
- COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD
- 00:24:24.352 --> 00:24:27.789
- OF GOD.
- 00:24:27.789 --> 00:24:29.558
- WE GET OUR FAITH FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
- 00:24:29.558 --> 00:24:32.460
- THE WORD, THE RHEMA THERE, NOT LOGOS , THE
- 00:24:32.460 --> 00:24:34.763
- PERSONAL WORD, THE SPECIFIC WORD TO A
- 00:24:34.763 --> 00:24:36.965
- SPECIFIC PERSON IN A SPECIFIC SITUATION.
- 00:24:36.965 --> 00:24:40.869
- PETER WALKED ON THE WATER BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU
- 00:24:40.869 --> 00:24:44.139
- GO TRY TO WALK ON WATER.
- 00:24:44.139 --> 00:24:45.340
- YOU KNOW WHY YOU CAN'T?
- 00:24:45.340 --> 00:24:46.975
- BECAUSE PETER GOT A SPECIFIC WORD AT A
- 00:24:46.975 --> 00:24:49.878
- SPECIFIC TIME IN A SPECIFIC PLACE FROM THE
- 00:24:49.878 --> 00:24:53.014
- LORD JESUS, PETER, COME TO ME ON THE WATER.
- 00:24:53.014 --> 00:24:56.318
- AND HE ACTED ON THAT WORD OF FAITH AND STEPPED IN
- 00:24:56.318 --> 00:24:59.120
- AND WALKED ON THE WATER.
- 00:24:59.120 --> 00:25:00.522
- AND GOD HASN'T STOPPED SPEAKING LIKE THAT.
- 00:25:00.522 --> 00:25:03.458
- HE JUST HAS GIVEN US HIS FINAL WORD, THE FINAL
- 00:25:03.458 --> 00:25:05.961
- COMPLETE REVELATION, THE WORD OF GOD.
- 00:25:05.961 --> 00:25:08.430
- SO HE STILL SPEAKS TO US FROM HIS WORD, AND IN THE
- 00:25:08.430 --> 00:25:11.366
- NORMAL TRAFFIC PATTERN OF OUR BIBLE READING, AND
- 00:25:11.366 --> 00:25:14.803
- THAT'S WHY THE PASSION CODE IS FILLED WITH THESE
- 00:25:14.803 --> 00:25:18.006
- VERSES OF HOPE BECAUSE GOD WILL TAKE ONE OF
- 00:25:18.006 --> 00:25:21.309
- THESE VERSES WHEN YOU'RE READING IN YOUR DEVOTION
- 00:25:21.309 --> 00:25:24.879
- AND QUICKEN IT.
- 00:25:24.879 --> 00:25:25.847
- YOU'LL SEE THAT'S JUST FOR ME.
- 00:25:25.847 --> 00:25:26.982
- THEN YOU CLIMB UP ON TOP OF IT, YOU STAND THERE
- 00:25:26.982 --> 00:25:28.783
- AND YOU BELIEVE BECAUSE FAITH COMES BY HEARING
- 00:25:28.783 --> 00:25:31.987
- AND HEARING BY THE WORD.
- 00:25:31.987 --> 00:25:33.655
- - SO GOOD.
- 00:25:33.655 --> 00:25:34.756
- - IT IS THE SPIRIT WHO GIVES LIFE, THE FLESH
- 00:25:34.756 --> 00:25:37.993
- PROFITS NOTHING.
- 00:25:37.993 --> 00:25:39.828
- THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK TO YOU ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY
- 00:25:39.828 --> 00:25:43.264
- ARE LIFE, JOHN 6: 63.
- 00:25:43.264 --> 00:25:45.734
- THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE THIS DEVOTIONAL.
- 00:25:45.734 --> 00:25:50.171
- IT IS CALLED SIMPLY THE PASSION CODE, 100 DAYS
- 00:25:50.171 --> 00:25:54.175
- WITH JESUS.
- 00:25:54.175 --> 00:25:56.044
- AND WE'VE USED SOME OF THE OTHER PASSION BOOKS,
- 00:25:56.044 --> 00:25:59.547
- THE JOSHUA CODE OR SOME OF THE OTHER CODE BOOKS,
- 00:25:59.547 --> 00:26:02.517
- JOSHUA CODE, JESUS CODE, AND THIS IS THE LATEST,
- 00:26:02.517 --> 00:26:05.954
- THE PASSION CODE.
- 00:26:05.954 --> 00:26:07.555
- GOD IS WITH US.
- 00:26:07.555 --> 00:26:09.824
- GOD IS FOR US.
- 00:26:09.824 --> 00:26:12.594
- AND GOD IS IN US.
- 00:26:12.594 --> 00:26:13.795
- - SPRING...
- 00:26:13.795 --> 00:26:14.763
- I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR.
- 00:26:14.763 --> 00:26:16.564
- THINGS THAT WERE DORMANT IN WINTER HAVE STARTED TO
- 00:26:16.564 --> 00:26:19.200
- SPRING TO LIFE AGAIN.
- 00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:21.002
- AND AS WE HEAD INTO THIS EASTER SEASON,
- 00:26:21.002 --> 00:26:23.038
- IT IS WITH A RENEWED SENSE OF LIFE AND HOPE.
- 00:26:23.038 --> 00:26:26.341
- SO TODAY I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU,
- 00:26:26.341 --> 00:26:28.309
- NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH IN
- 00:26:28.309 --> 00:26:30.111
- THIS PAST YEAR, SPRING IS IN THE AIR.
- 00:26:30.111 --> 00:26:33.181
- WE MAY HAVE EACH ENDURED A LONG SEASON OF WINTER,
- 00:26:33.181 --> 00:26:36.418
- BUT THE JOY OF EASTER IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER,
- 00:26:36.418 --> 00:26:39.954
- AND IT'S TIME TO MOVE FORWARD WITH FAITH FOR
- 00:26:39.954 --> 00:26:42.691
- WHAT'S JUST AHEAD.
- 00:26:42.691 --> 00:26:44.325
- I'M REMINDED OF THE STORY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT OF A
- 00:26:44.325 --> 00:26:46.494
- WOMAN WHO NEEDED A MIRACLE OF PROVISION.
- 00:26:46.494 --> 00:26:49.431
- SHE WENT TO THE PROPHET ELISHA THINKING THAT HE
- 00:26:49.431 --> 00:26:52.067
- WOULD GIVE HER THE MIRACLE SHE NEEDED,
- 00:26:52.067 --> 00:26:54.135
- BUT INSTEAD HE SENT HER HOME.
- 00:26:54.135 --> 00:26:56.671
- THE MIRACLE SHE NEEDED WAS ALREADY IN HER HOUSE.
- 00:26:56.671 --> 00:27:00.308

- DURING DECEMBER ADVENT DEVOTION FOR CHRISTMAS,
- 00:29:08.169 --> 00:29:11.472
- AND AS I WAS READING IT, I SAID THIS IS NOT
- 00:29:11.472 --> 00:29:13.808
- COMPLETE BECAUSE THE GOSPEL DOESN'T END IN BETHLEHEM.
- 00:29:13.808 --> 00:29:20.281
- IT GOES ON TO GOLGOTHA, BUT IT DOESN'T END THERE.
- 00:29:20.281 --> 00:29:23.184
- HE ROSE FROM THE GRAVE, AND ON THE DAY OF
- 00:29:23.184 --> 00:29:25.153

- HE LEADS US, HE COMFORTS US.
- 00:29:55.550 --> 00:29:58.653
- ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE WRAPPED UP IN THIS PASSION.
- 00:29:58.653 --> 00:30:01.823
- - THIS IS-- FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO JUST
- 00:30:01.823 --> 00:30:04.893
- DISCLOSE SOMETHING.
- 00:30:04.893 --> 00:30:06.261
- I'VE KNOWN O.S. HAWKINS FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.
- 00:30:06.261 --> 00:30:09.831
- IT'S TRUE, I WAS A CAMERAMAN WITH AN OLD,
- 00:30:09.831 --> 00:30:14.869
- PROBABLY THREE QUARTER INCH MACHINE AND
- 00:30:14.869 --> 00:30:17.138
- AN OLD CAMERA, AND WE WOULD GO AND O.S.
- 00:30:17.138 --> 00:30:21.142
- WOULD GO OUT INTO THE PUBLIC AND--
- 00:30:21.142 --> 00:30:24.846
- - LAURIE: MAN ON THE STREET.
- 00:30:24.846 --> 00:30:26.214
- - MAN ON THE STREET, AND WITNESS TO PEOPLE,
- 00:30:26.214 --> 00:30:28.750
- AND TALK, AND SHARE ABOUT JESUS, AND KIND
- 00:30:28.750 --> 00:30:30.985
- OF SHOW PEOPLE HOW EASY IT WAS REALLY TO GET.
- 00:30:30.985 --> 00:30:33.488
- - PEOPLE WOULD COME TO GET SAVED RIGHT
- 00:30:33.488 --> 00:30:34.689
- THERE ON THE PODIUM.
- 00:30:34.689 --> 00:30:35.823
- - ABSOLUTELY. WE SHOT ALL THAT STUFF AND

- WHAT AN AMAZING THING.
- 00:30:37.425 --> 00:30:40.395
- SO I FEEL LIKE IN SOME WAYS THIS ISN'T FAIR
- 00:30:40.395 --> 00:30:46.801
- BECAUSE I KNOW YOU SO WELL BECAUSE I'M GONNA
- 00:30:46.801 --> 00:30:48.303
- REALLY PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.

- - OH!

- [LAUGHTER] - I JUST LOVE THIS.
- 00:30:51.072 --> 00:30:52.674
- SO YOU HISTORICALLY YOU PASTORED A BEAUTIFUL
- 00:30:52.674 --> 00:30:56.444
- CHURCH RIGHT HERE IN THE METROPLEX THAT HAD ONLY
- 00:30:56.444 --> 00:31:00.682
- BEEN PASTORED BY W.A. CRISWELL FOR 50 YEARS,
- 00:31:00.682 --> 00:31:03.885
- PROBABLY THE GREATEST SAINT THAT EVER LIVED,
- 00:31:03.885 --> 00:31:07.221
- AND SO I'M JUST GONNA PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.
- 00:31:07.221 --> 00:31:10.491
- WHEN YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU HAVE SOME

- SILVER HAIR, AND YOU DO HAVE SOME SILVER HAIR.
- 00:31:14.195 --> 00:31:17.365
- - NOT QUITE AS MUCH AS YOU, BUT I DO.
- 00:31:17.365 --> 00:31:20.368
- - WELL, I COULD EXPLAIN THAT BUT I WON'T
- 00:31:20.368 --> 00:31:23.204
- RIGHT HERE ON THE AIR.
- 00:31:23.204 --> 00:31:25.206
- SO BUT BASICALLY, WHEN YOU GET TO THE TIME IN
- 00:31:25.206 --> 00:31:29.610
- LIFE THAT YOU ARE, AND YOU'VE DONE THE
- 00:31:29.610 --> 00:31:32.947
- EXPERIENCE OF PASTORING A LITTLE CHURCH,

- A HUGE CHURCH, A MONSTER CHURCH, OKAY.

- 00:31:40.588 --> 00:31:43.124
- MUCH STUFF, AND NOW YOU'RE WRITING BOOKS.
- 00:31:43.124 --> 00:31:47.028

- YOU'VE DEVOTED YOUR LIFE TO IS TRUE AND REAL?

- 00:32:00.041 --> 00:32:03.077
- WHAT IS YOUR EVIDENCE?
- 00:32:03.077 --> 00:32:04.812
- - THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.
- 00:32:04.812 --> 00:32:06.581
- LET ME JUST TELL YOU WHAT COMES TO MIND,
- 00:32:06.581 --> 00:32:08.383
- AND IT WOULD BE WHAT SUSIE AND I SAY A LOT:
- 00:32:08.383 --> 00:32:12.420
- THE FRUIT REMAINS.
- 00:32:12.420 --> 00:32:15.056
- AND HE HAS A WAY OF SHOWING THIS TO US ALMOST
- 00:32:15.056 --> 00:32:18.393
- EVERY-- WE'VE MENTIONED FORT LAUDERDALE WHERE
- 00:32:18.393 --> 00:32:20.395
- I PASTORED FOR 15 YEARS, FROM 1978 TO 1993.
- 00:32:20.395 --> 00:32:25.466
- WE SAW THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
- 00:32:25.466 --> 00:32:29.537
- COME TO FAITH IN CHRIST.
- 00:32:29.537 --> 00:32:31.506
- AND WHEN WE LEFT THERE TO COME TO DALLAS,
- 00:32:31.506 --> 00:32:32.907
- WE'D HAVE TEN THOUSAND ON A SUNDAY THERE IN THAT
- 00:32:32.907 --> 00:32:35.476
- BIG NEW AUDITORIUM WE BUILT AND JUST THOUSANDS
- 00:32:35.476 --> 00:32:38.246
- OF PEOPLE ON THE BEACH, WE'D HAVE THOSE BEACH
- 00:32:38.246 --> 00:32:40.615
- EVANGELISTIC SERVICES WITH ARTHUR BLESSITT AND
- 00:32:40.615 --> 00:32:43.418
- SO MANY THINGS, JUST GOD'S POWER WAS JUST MOVING.
- 00:32:43.418 --> 00:32:46.654
- THEN I LEFT THERE, MATT, OVER 25 YEARS AGO.
- 00:32:46.654 --> 00:32:54.062
- WELL, ACTUALLY, I LEFT THERE ALMOST 30 YEARS
- 00:32:54.062 --> 00:32:56.697
- AGO, AND I SELDOM PREACH IN ANY CHURCH ALL OVER
- 00:32:56.697 --> 00:33:03.071
- THE COUNTRY, BECAUSE I PREACH NEARLY A DIFFERENT
- 00:33:03.071 --> 00:33:05.206
- CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY, WHERE SOMEBODY DOESN'T COME UP.
- 00:33:05.206 --> 00:33:07.075
- I WAS IN SAN DIEGO THE OTHER DAY AND A GUY CAME
- 00:33:07.075 --> 00:33:09.677
- UP TO ME IN A NAVAL UNIFORM ABOUT TO RETIRE
- 00:33:09.677 --> 00:33:13.147
- AS A CHAPLAIN IN THE NAVY WHO GOT SAVED BECAUSE
- 00:33:13.147 --> 00:33:16.851
- HE CAME INTO PORT ONE TIME THERE,
- 00:33:16.851 --> 00:33:18.586
- AND SOMEBODY TOOK A VAN OUT THERE TO THE PORT AND
- 00:33:18.586 --> 00:33:20.822
- BROUGHT A BUNCH OF SAILORS TO CHURCH
- 00:33:20.822 --> 00:33:22.290
- AND WAS SAVED THERE.
- 00:33:22.290 --> 00:33:23.558
- SO I WOULD SAY THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING.
- 00:33:23.558 --> 00:33:25.960
- THE FRUIT REMAINS.
- 00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:28.262
- IT'S REALLY REAL.
- 00:33:28.262 --> 00:33:29.630
- - YOU'RE WRITING ABOUT SOMETHING YOU'VE LIVED
- 00:33:29.630 --> 00:33:33.201
- FOR, AND IN SOME WAYS, YOU KNOW,
- 00:33:33.201 --> 00:33:37.572
- THE PASSION CODE THAT YOU'VE WRITTEN,
- 00:33:37.572 --> 00:33:41.175
- THIS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.
- 00:33:41.175 --> 00:33:42.543
- BY THE WAY, IT IS OUR MONTHLY RESOURCE.
- 00:33:42.543 --> 00:33:45.446
- IT'S AVAILABLE BY GOING TO THE WEBSITE ON THE SCREEN.
- 00:33:45.446 --> 00:33:50.751
- IT'S AVAILABLE BY CALLING THE 800 NUMBER ON THE SCREEN.
- 00:33:50.751 --> 00:33:54.288
- THAT'S A SPECIFIC NUMBER FOR THIS EXACT BOOK HERE,
- 00:33:54.288 --> 00:34:00.561
- AND THIS ISN'T SOME CALL CENTER OUT THERE THAT
- 00:34:00.561 --> 00:34:02.597
- DOESN'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE CALLING.
- 00:34:02.597 --> 00:34:03.998
- THAT'S A SPECIFIC NUMBER FOR THIS.
- 00:34:03.998 --> 00:34:05.500
- WE DO THAT TO HELP YOU.
- 00:34:05.500 --> 00:34:08.436
- WE WANT YOU TO GET IT.
- 00:34:08.436 --> 00:34:09.971
- IT IS OUR GIFT THIS MONTH.
- 00:34:09.971 --> 00:34:13.875
- AND THANK YOU O.S. FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
- 00:34:13.875 --> 00:34:16.244
- BUT THE PASSION THAT YOU WRITE ABOUT,
- 00:34:16.244 --> 00:34:22.083
- WHEN DID YOU EXPERIENCE THIS FOR YOUR OWN LIFE TO
- 00:34:22.083 --> 00:34:26.053
- THE POINT WHERE THIS KIND OF,
- 00:34:26.053 --> 00:34:30.458
- WHAT YOU SAID A LITTLE WHILE AGO,
- 00:34:30.458 --> 00:34:32.126
- WAS AN ADVENT STORY THAT KIND OF GOT EXPANDED OUT TO
- 00:34:32.126 --> 00:34:35.396
- NOT JUST GOD WITH US, BUT NOT JUST GOD FOR US,
- 00:34:35.396 --> 00:34:38.232
- BUT GOD IN US.
- 00:34:38.232 --> 00:34:41.402
- WHEN DID THAT JOURNEY FEEL COMPLETE ENOUGH TO
- 00:34:41.402 --> 00:34:44.438
- SIT DOWN AND START AUTHORING A BOOK ABOUT IT?
- 00:34:44.438 --> 00:34:47.575
- - OH, I DON'T THINK IT EVER WOULD FEEL COMPLETE
- 00:34:47.575 --> 00:34:49.644
- ENOUGH TO DO THAT, BUT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF
- 00:34:49.644 --> 00:34:53.414
- BEING FAITHFUL OVER THOSE LITTLE THINGS,
- 00:34:53.414 --> 00:34:55.116
- GOD MAKING YOU RULER OVER GREATER THINGS,
- 00:34:55.116 --> 00:34:56.684
- JUST BEING OBEDIENT TO HIM,
- 00:34:56.684 --> 00:34:58.886
- WHERE HE IS AND WHAT HE DOES.
- 00:34:58.886 --> 00:35:02.023
- AND YOU KNOW, I CAME TO KNOW CHRIST WHEN I WAS
- 00:35:02.023 --> 00:35:04.792
- 17, AND MY LIFE WAS RADICALLY TRANSFORMED.
- 00:35:04.792 --> 00:35:09.530
- I'D NEVER HEARD THE WORD, LAURIE,
- 00:35:09.530 --> 00:35:11.999
- REPENTANCE UNTIL ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER I WAS
- 00:35:11.999 --> 00:35:14.268
- SAVED, BUT I KNOW I REPENTED AS A 17 YEAR OLD
- 00:35:14.268 --> 00:35:17.271
- BOY. YOU KNOW HOW?
- 00:35:17.271 --> 00:35:18.406
- BECAUSE IMMEDIATELY I STARTED HATING WHAT I
- 00:35:18.406 --> 00:35:20.942
- USED TO LOVE AND LOVING WHAT I USED TO HATE.
- 00:35:20.942 --> 00:35:23.945
- THOSE PLACES I USED TO GO ON FRIDAY NIGHT,
- 00:35:23.945 --> 00:35:25.813
- I HAD NO MORE DESIRE TO DO THEM ANYMORE.
- 00:35:25.813 --> 00:35:27.949
- I HAD A NEW PASSION.
- 00:35:27.949 --> 00:35:29.150
- THINGS I NEVER THOUGHT I'D LOVE TO DO,
- 00:35:29.150 --> 00:35:31.385
- LIKE HANGING AROUND WITH A BUNCH OF CHURCH PEOPLE
- 00:35:31.385 --> 00:35:33.254
- LIKE YOU, I FOUND MY GREATEST JOY IN DOING.
- 00:35:33.254 --> 00:35:37.491
- AND GOD CHANGED MY DESIRES.
- 00:35:37.491 --> 00:35:39.260
- THAT'S WHAT PSALM 37 SAYS.
- 00:35:39.260 --> 00:35:40.995
- I'M WRITING A NEW BOOK RIGHT NOW CALLED THE
- 00:35:40.995 --> 00:35:44.232
- PROMISE CODE, 40 BIBLE PROMISES EVERY
- 00:35:44.232 --> 00:35:47.468
- BELIEVER CAN CLAIM.
- 00:35:47.468 --> 00:35:48.970
- AND IN PSALM 37, DELIGHT YOURSELF IN THE LORD AND
- 00:35:48.970 --> 00:35:52.640
- HE WILL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART.
- 00:35:52.640 --> 00:35:54.742
- THAT DOESN'T MEAN WHATEVER YOUR LITTLE
- 00:35:54.742 --> 00:35:56.043
- HEART DESIRES, HE'S GONNA GIVE YOU.
- 00:35:56.043 --> 00:35:57.478
- IT MEANS YOU DELIGHT IN HIM AND HE WILL PLANT
- 00:35:57.478 --> 00:36:00.615
- THOSE DESIRES, HE WILL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES THAT
- 00:36:00.615 --> 00:36:02.717
- ARE IN YOUR HEART, AND YOU'LL BEGIN TO LIVE
- 00:36:02.717 --> 00:36:04.919
- ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, AND THAT'S WHAT POWER COMES.
- 00:36:04.919 --> 00:36:08.923
- - YOU KNOW WHAT, THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
- 00:36:08.923 --> 00:36:12.593
- TO CONVICT, TO TELL YOU WHEN, YOU KNOW WHAT
- 00:36:12.593 --> 00:36:17.431
- NOBODY HAS TO TELL ME WHEN I'VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG.
- 00:36:17.431 --> 00:36:20.268
- I FEEL IT.
- 00:36:20.268 --> 00:36:21.602
- I FEEL IT IN EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.
- 00:36:21.602 --> 00:36:23.938
- - THAT'S PROOF YOU KNOW HIM.
- 00:36:23.938 --> 00:36:25.406
- - YEAH, AND I'M SO THANKFUL FOR THAT BECAUSE
- 00:36:25.406 --> 00:36:28.576
- IT KEEPS YOU, IT KEEPS YOU ON THE PATH THAT GOD
- 00:36:28.576 --> 00:36:31.979
- HAS MADE FOR YOU ALREADY, SO WE CAN BE HUMBLE AND
- 00:36:31.979 --> 00:36:36.751
- WE CAN STAY COMMITTED TO THAT PATH.
- 00:36:36.751 --> 00:36:39.153
- BUT I'M SO THANKFUL FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT IN MY
- 00:36:39.153 --> 00:36:42.690
- LIFE TO CONVICT ME OF SIN BECAUSE IT KEEPS YOU
- 00:36:42.690 --> 00:36:45.826
- OUT OF SO MUCH TROUBLE. YOU STOPPED.
- 00:36:45.826 --> 00:36:47.695
- YOU STOPPED LIKING THE PLACES.
- 00:36:47.695 --> 00:36:50.398
- YOU PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD SINNER.
- 00:36:50.398 --> 00:36:53.034
- [LAUGHTER]
- 00:36:53.034 --> 00:36:54.702
- YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY GOOD SINNER!
- 00:36:54.702 --> 00:36:56.203
- - I HATE TO TELL YOU THIS, LAURIE,
- 00:36:56.203 --> 00:36:57.538
- I'M STILL A SINNER.
- 00:36:57.538 --> 00:36:59.473
- I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOOD WITH IT OR NOT.
- 00:36:59.473 --> 00:37:01.909
- - BUT THE WHOLE SWEET HOLY SPIRIT.
- 00:37:01.909 --> 00:37:06.013
- THAT KEEPS US OUT OF--
- 00:37:06.013 --> 00:37:07.682
- - THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHO HE IS.
- 00:37:07.682 --> 00:37:10.051
- WE USED TO SING THAT SONG SWEET HEAVENLY DOVE,
- 00:37:10.051 --> 00:37:13.521
- STAY RIGHT HERE WITH US, FILLING US WITH YOUR LOVE.
- 00:37:13.521 --> 00:37:17.058
- - I USED TO LOVE THAT SONG.
- 00:37:17.058 --> 00:37:18.492
- - I DO TOO.
- 00:37:18.492 --> 00:37:19.627
- - THE END OF A SUNDAY NIGHT SERVICE. RIGHT?
- 00:37:19.627 --> 00:37:23.230
- - THERE'S A SWEET, SWEET SPIRIT.
- 00:37:23.230 --> 00:37:24.532
- - CRYING AT THE ALTAR. I LOVE IT.
- 00:37:24.532 --> 00:37:26.233
- - WE ARE SITTING WITH O.S. HAWKINS.
- 00:37:26.233 --> 00:37:28.536
- O.S. HAWKINS IS OUR DEAR FRIEND FOR MANY MANY YEARS,
- 00:37:28.536 --> 00:37:33.908
- AND THE PASSION CODE IS AVAILABLE BY
- 00:37:33.908 --> 00:37:36.077
- GOING TO THE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN.
- 00:37:36.077 --> 00:37:37.712
- WE WANT YOU TO GET IT THIS MONTH, ALL MONTH.
- 00:37:37.712 --> 00:37:42.283
- THE ONE THING I WANT YOU TO EXPLAIN,
- 00:37:42.283 --> 00:37:44.819
- BECAUSE I KEEP REMEMBERING KIND OF YOUR
- 00:37:44.819 --> 00:37:50.758
- RESUME', FROM 17 YEARS OLD UNTIL NOW,
- 00:37:50.758 --> 00:37:57.965
- YOU'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN CHURCH, AND LEADERSHIP,
- 00:37:57.965 --> 00:38:02.636
- AND PASTORATE, AND LEADERSHIP OF
- 00:38:02.636 --> 00:38:05.573
- DENOMINATIONS, AND THESE TYPES OF THINGS,
- 00:38:05.573 --> 00:38:08.542
- AND WHAT I'M DRIVING AT IS THIS IS REAL TO YOU.
- 00:38:08.542 --> 00:38:13.614
- - RIGHT.
- 00:38:13.614 --> 00:38:14.915
- - THIS STUFF THAT YOU WRITE ABOUT AND THE
- 00:38:14.915 --> 00:38:18.185
- REASONS THAT YOU DO IT, THIS IS REAL.
- 00:38:18.185 --> 00:38:20.855
- AND WHAT I HOPE OUR AUDIENCE IS GOING TO GET
- 00:38:20.855 --> 00:38:25.926
- OUT OF THIS BROADCAST AND THEN OF COURSE THIS BOOK
- 00:38:25.926 --> 00:38:30.231
- IS THE PROOF THAT PUTTING THE WORK INTO IT IS WORTH IT.
- 00:38:30.231 --> 00:38:36.904
- - ABSOLUTELY.
- 00:38:36.904 --> 00:38:38.139
- - EXPLAIN THAT IT REALLY IS.
- 00:38:38.139 --> 00:38:40.307
- - I WOULD LIKE TO THINK, AND I'M BEING VERY
- 00:38:40.307 --> 00:38:42.877
- PRESUMPTUOUS TO EVEN VOICE IT,
- 00:38:42.877 --> 00:38:44.812
- BUT I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT THE PASSION CODE,
- 00:38:44.812 --> 00:38:47.314
- FOR EXAMPLE, IS THE OVERFLOW OF DECADES OF
- 00:38:47.314 --> 00:38:51.051
- LOVING HIM, AND KNOWING HIM,
- 00:38:51.051 --> 00:38:53.754
- AND WALKING WITH HIM, AND BEING REBUKED BY HIM,
- 00:38:53.754 --> 00:38:56.257
- AND BEING BLESSED BY HIM.
- 00:38:56.257 --> 00:38:58.092
- AND YOU KNOW, MATT, I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY
- 00:38:58.092 --> 00:39:02.396
- IMPORTANT EARLY ON TO GET THE EDUCATION I COULD.
- 00:39:02.396 --> 00:39:05.132
- I'VE GOT ALL THE EDUCATION I CAN.
- 00:39:05.132 --> 00:39:08.402
- I HAVE A PHD FROM THE LARGEST SEMINARY IN THE
- 00:39:08.402 --> 00:39:10.304
- WORLD, SOUTHWESTERN SEMINARY AND ALL,
- 00:39:10.304 --> 00:39:12.206
- BUT IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE GOT IN YOUR HEAD,
- 00:39:12.206 --> 00:39:16.243
- IT'S ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HEART.
- 00:39:16.243 --> 00:39:18.112
- AND GOD DOESN'T LOOK ON THE OUTWARD THINGS.
- 00:39:18.112 --> 00:39:21.582
- WE DO. WHAT'S HIS RESUME'? WHAT'S HE DO?
- 00:39:21.582 --> 00:39:23.918
- GOD DOESN'T LOOK ON THE OUTWARD THING.
- 00:39:23.918 --> 00:39:25.953
- GOD LOOKS ON OUR HEART.
- 00:39:25.953 --> 00:39:27.321
- WHEN I STARTED OUT, I WAS SAVED THERE AND WENT TO
- 00:39:27.321 --> 00:39:32.860
- TCU TWO, THREE MONTHS AFTER I WAS CONVERTED TO
- 00:39:32.860 --> 00:39:36.564
- CHRIST, WAS IN THE BUSINESS SCHOOL THERE,
- 00:39:36.564 --> 00:39:38.999
- HAVE A BUSINESS DEGREE FROM THERE.
- 00:39:38.999 --> 00:39:40.601
- I WAS TAKING THE LSATS TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL SUMMER
- 00:39:40.601 --> 00:39:42.803
- BEFORE MY SENIOR YEAR WHEN I WENT DOWN TO
- 00:39:42.803 --> 00:39:45.239
- MEXICO, WHEN HURRICANE BEULAH 68 COME THROUGH
- 00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:48.709
- THERE AND WIPED OUT.
- 00:39:48.709 --> 00:39:50.277
- WE LIVED DOWN THERE WITH THOSE FOLKS,
- 00:39:50.277 --> 00:39:51.645
- AND GOD JUST BROKE MY HEART.
- 00:39:51.645 --> 00:39:52.913
- THAT'S WHEN HE CALLED ME TO PREACH.
- 00:39:52.913 --> 00:39:54.148
- I CAME BACK, GOT A BUSINESS DEGREE AND
- 00:39:54.148 --> 00:39:56.150
- WENT ON TO SEMINARY FROM THERE.
- 00:39:56.150 --> 00:39:58.152
- THEN SUSIE AND I WENT TO HOBART, OKLAHOMA AND
- 00:39:58.152 --> 00:40:00.488
- PASTORED, ADA, FIRST BAPTIST FORT LAUDERDALE 15 YEARS,
- 00:40:00.488 --> 00:40:03.657
- BACK TO FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN DALLAS.
- 00:40:03.657 --> 00:40:05.493
- NOW TODAY, FOR 25 YEARS I'VE BEEN AT GUIDESTONE.
- 00:40:05.493 --> 00:40:08.629
- WE MANAGE $20 BILLION DOLLARS OF CHRISTIAN
- 00:40:08.629 --> 00:40:12.500
- MONEY OF ENDOWMENTS AND RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS,
- 00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:17.304
- EVERYTHING, PEOPLE, HAVE A MINISTRY CALLED MISSION
- 00:40:17.304 --> 00:40:19.840
- DIGNITY WHERE WE TAKE CARE OF PASTORS AND
- 00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:22.276
- WIDOWS IN THEIR DECLINING YEARS THAT HAVE NOTHING.
- 00:40:22.276 --> 00:40:24.812
- YOU KNOW, MOST PASTORS MATT DIDN'T PASTOR
- 00:40:24.812 --> 00:40:26.747
- FIRST BAPTIST DALLAS LIKE I DID.
- 00:40:26.747 --> 00:40:28.449
- THEY'RE OUT IN THE CROSSROADS OUT IN THE
- 00:40:28.449 --> 00:40:30.351
- HIGHWAYS AND HEDGES, NEVER MADE ENOUGH TO
- 00:40:30.351 --> 00:40:32.620
- LIVE ON MUCH LESS TO RETIRE ON.
- 00:40:32.620 --> 00:40:34.755
- NOW THEY'RE IN THEIR DECLINING YEARS,
- 00:40:34.755 --> 00:40:36.657
- AND IN OUR PROGRAM, ALL THE ROYALTIES TO
- 00:40:36.657 --> 00:40:39.293
- ALL THE CODE BOOKS GO TO THESE FOLKS.
- 00:40:39.293 --> 00:40:41.695
- BUT IN THEIR DECLINING YEARS THERE,
- 00:40:41.695 --> 00:40:45.332
- THEY NEED HOPE, THEY NEED HELP,
- 00:40:45.332 --> 00:40:48.168
- SO WE'RE ABLE TO MEET THEIR NEEDS EVERY MONTH.
- 00:40:48.168 --> 00:40:52.540
- - HELP OUR AUDIENCE UNDERSTAND O.S.
- 00:40:52.540 --> 00:40:57.444
- THAT PUTTING THE WORK INTO THIS TYPE OF
- 00:40:57.444 --> 00:41:01.181
- DEVOTIONAL AT THE END IS WORTH IT.
- 00:41:01.181 --> 00:41:05.252
- WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO GET OUT OF GETTING THIS
- 00:41:05.252 --> 00:41:09.623
- BOOK, READING IT AND GOING THROUGH
- 00:41:09.623 --> 00:41:11.825
- THE HUNDRED DAY JOURNEY.
- 00:41:11.825 --> 00:41:13.394
- - WELL, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THAT
- 00:41:13.394 --> 00:41:14.929
- WE MAY KNOW HIM, PAUL SAID IN PHILIPPIANS,
- 00:41:14.929 --> 00:41:18.599
- AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION.
- 00:41:18.599 --> 00:41:21.735
- AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
- 00:41:21.735 --> 00:41:23.337
- I WANT PEOPLE, WHEN THEY GET THROUGH READING THIS,
- 00:41:23.337 --> 00:41:26.073
- TO KNOW HIM, NOT ABOUT HIM, BUT IN THE INTIMACY
- 00:41:26.073 --> 00:41:31.712
- OF FATHER AND CHILD, TO COME TO KNOW HIM IN THE
- 00:41:31.712 --> 00:41:35.749
- PERSON OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT, TO UNDERSTAND
- 00:41:35.749 --> 00:41:38.218
- THAT GOD, HE'S COME TO LIVE IN US.
- 00:41:38.218 --> 00:41:41.188
- HE'S PROMISED NEVER TO LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US,
- 00:41:41.188 --> 00:41:43.290
- TO EMPOWER US, TO LEAD US, TO GUIDE US.
- 00:41:43.290 --> 00:41:45.993
- AND I HOPE THAT AT THE END OF A HUNDRED DAYS OF
- 00:41:45.993 --> 00:41:48.796
- THESE DEVOTIONALS THAT THEY'LL COME TO THE END
- 00:41:48.796 --> 00:41:52.232
- OF THAT HUNDRED DAYS AND THEY'LL HAVE A PASSION
- 00:41:52.232 --> 00:41:55.569
- THAT'S LIKE HIM.
- 00:41:55.569 --> 00:41:58.472
- YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS WE WILL BE LIKE HIM FOR
- 00:41:58.472 --> 00:42:03.644
- WE'LL SEE HIM AS HE IS. THAT'S IN HEAVEN.
- 00:42:03.644 --> 00:42:06.347
- BUT ON THE WAY, I WANT PEOPLE TO SEE JESUS AS
- 00:42:06.347 --> 00:42:08.983
- HE IS AND BECOME MORE AND MORE LIKE HIM,
- 00:42:08.983 --> 00:42:12.219
- SO THAT'S THE END GAME.
- 00:42:12.219 --> 00:42:14.054
- THAT'S THE END RESULT FROM WHAT WE'RE TRYING
- 00:42:14.054 --> 00:42:17.024
- TO SEE PEOPLE DO HERE.
- 00:42:17.024 --> 00:42:18.392
- MATT, WE'VE MADE IT EASY FOR THEM.
- 00:42:18.392 --> 00:42:19.860
- EVERY DAY'S DEVOTIONAL THERE'S A CODE WORD THERE.
- 00:42:19.860 --> 00:42:23.330
- THE ISSUE IS TO READ THE DEVOTIONAL AND THE VERSE,
- 00:42:23.330 --> 00:42:29.637
- AND THEN THERE'S A CODE WORD EVERY DAY.
- 00:42:29.637 --> 00:42:31.405
- TAKE THAT CODE WORD, WRITE IT DOWN AND TO
- 00:42:31.405 --> 00:42:34.041
- REMEMBER IT, AND IT WILL HELP YOU REMEMBER THE
- 00:42:34.041 --> 00:42:36.710
- WHOLE MESSAGE OF THE DEVOTIONAL.
- 00:42:36.710 --> 00:42:38.412
- AND THEN THERE'S A PASSION PROCLAMATION.
- 00:42:38.412 --> 00:42:40.781
- THERE'S A VERSE YOU CAN STAND ON.
- 00:42:40.781 --> 00:42:42.483
- HOPEFULLY YOU'LL MEMORIZE, AND THEN
- 00:42:42.483 --> 00:42:45.519
- THERE'S A PRAYER THERE THAT YOU CAN PRAY.
- 00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:48.422
- YOU KNOW SCRIPTURE MEMORY IS A LOST ART AND IT IS
- 00:42:48.422 --> 00:42:51.959
- SO VITALLY IMPORTANT.
- 00:42:51.959 --> 00:42:54.128
- WHEN I WAS SAVED WHEN I WAS 17, YOU ASKED ME
- 00:42:54.128 --> 00:42:57.064
- ABOUT IT A MINUTE AGO.
- 00:42:57.064 --> 00:42:58.666
- BACK IN THOSE DAYS, YOU'D COME FORWARD AT AN
- 00:42:58.666 --> 00:43:00.534
- INVITATION IN THE CHURCH, AND YOU'D STAND THERE,
- 00:43:00.534 --> 00:43:02.970
- AND EVERYBODY WOULD COME BY AND SHAKE
- 00:43:02.970 --> 00:43:04.304
- YOUR HAND AND EVERYTHING.
- 00:43:04.304 --> 00:43:05.639
- WELL I WAS 17, AND I WAS STANDING DOWN THERE,
- 00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:08.375
- JUST PUT MY FAITH AND TRUST IN CHRIST.
- 00:43:08.375 --> 00:43:11.111
- AN OLD GENTLEMAN CAME BY AND PUT A PIECE OF PAPER
- 00:43:11.111 --> 00:43:14.982
- IN MY HAND AND HE SAID SON, YOU BETTER
- 00:43:14.982 --> 00:43:17.184
- MEMORIZE THIS, YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT.
- 00:43:17.184 --> 00:43:19.453
- AND I PUT IT IN MY POCKET, DIDN'T THINK
- 00:43:19.453 --> 00:43:20.721
- MUCH MORE ABOUT IT.
- 00:43:20.721 --> 00:43:21.922
- THE NEXT DAY AFTER SCHOOL, I WAS A SENIOR IN HIGH
- 00:43:21.922 --> 00:43:25.325
- SCHOOL, I GOT IN MY CAR, MY OLD '56 CHEVROLET.
- 00:43:25.325 --> 00:43:27.795
- WISH I STILL HAD IT.
- 00:43:27.795 --> 00:43:29.663
- AND I GOT IN MY CAR, DROVE DOWNTOWN FORT WORTH
- 00:43:29.663 --> 00:43:32.599
- TO, I'D SEEN AN OLD BAPTIST BOOKSTORE DOWN
- 00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:35.969
- THERE, AND I WENT IN THERE AND BOUGHT MY
- 00:43:35.969 --> 00:43:37.905
- FIRST BIBLE. I WAS 17.
- 00:43:37.905 --> 00:43:39.840
- AND I WENT BACK OUT IN MY CAR, AND SITTING IN MY
- 00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:41.809
- CAR AND BEFORE I STARTED IT, I TOOK THAT PIECE OF
- 00:43:41.809 --> 00:43:46.947
- PAPER OUT THAT GUY GAVE ME.
- 00:43:46.947 --> 00:43:48.582
- I THOUGHT IT WAS HIEROGLYPHICS.
- 00:43:48.582 --> 00:43:49.917
- I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANT.
- 00:43:49.917 --> 00:43:51.051
- IT HAD A ONE C-O-R, THEN IT HAD A 10, THEN A COLON,
- 00:43:51.051 --> 00:43:56.023
- THEN IT HAD A ONE AND A THREE.
- 00:43:56.023 --> 00:43:58.492
- I THOUGHT I HAVE NO EARTHLY IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS.
- 00:43:58.492 --> 00:44:00.594
- SO I WAS OPENING THAT BIBLE, I LOOKED IN THERE,
- 00:44:00.594 --> 00:44:02.629
- AND HERE'S, IN THE FIRST OF IT, IT SHOWED ME ALL
- 00:44:02.629 --> 00:44:04.832
- THE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE. THEN IT SAID "1 COR",
- 00:44:04.832 --> 00:44:08.001
- 1 CORINTHIANS. THEN IT SAID "1 CORINTHIANS",
- 00:44:08.001 --> 00:44:10.070
- GAVE THE PAGE NUMBER. I TURNED OVER THERE.
- 00:44:10.070 --> 00:44:12.239
- THEN I SAW THESE NUMBERS AT THE TOP AND IT DAWNED
- 00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:15.275
- ON ME, MAYBE IT'S CHAPTER AND VERSE.
- 00:44:15.275 --> 00:44:17.478
- I TURNED TO 1 CORINTHIANS 10,
- 00:44:17.478 --> 00:44:20.748
- THEN I STARTED SEEING ALL THOSE VERSES HAD
- 00:44:20.748 --> 00:44:24.551
- NUMBERS ON THEM, AND I WENT DOWN TO 13,
- 00:44:24.551 --> 00:44:28.288
- AND IT SAID "THERE HAS NO TEMPTATION TAKEN YOU BUT
- 00:44:28.288 --> 00:44:31.759
- SUCH AS IS COMMON TO MAN, BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL AND
- 00:44:31.759 --> 00:44:35.429
- HE WILL NOT LET YOU BE TEMPTED ABOVE THAT YOU'RE
- 00:44:35.429 --> 00:44:38.031
- ABLE BUT WILL WITH THE TEMPTATION MAKE A WAY TO
- 00:44:38.031 --> 00:44:40.667
- ESCAPE THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BEAR IT."
- 00:44:40.667 --> 00:44:43.670
- AND I MEMORIZED THAT SITTING IN THAT CAR THAT DAY.
- 00:44:43.670 --> 00:44:46.774
- AND I CAN'T TELL YOU, LAURIE AND MATT,
- 00:44:46.774 --> 00:44:48.442
- HOW MANY TIMES IN COLLEGE AND LATER ON AND TILL THIS
- 00:44:48.442 --> 00:44:52.112
- VERY DAY I'LL GET TO TEMPTATION'S CORNER,
- 00:44:52.112 --> 00:44:55.682
- ABOUT TO MAKE A WRONG TURN,
- 00:44:55.682 --> 00:44:58.118
- AND THAT VERSE WILL COME INTO MY MIND.
- 00:44:58.118 --> 00:44:59.620
- HEY LISTEN, THERE'S NO TEMPTATION TAKEN YOU BUT
- 00:44:59.620 --> 00:45:01.488
- SUCH AS IS COMMON TO MAN.
- 00:45:01.488 --> 00:45:02.990
- SO ANOTHER THING THIS TRIES TO GET US TO DO IS
- 00:45:02.990 --> 00:45:06.093
- HIDE THE WORD OF GOD IN OUR HEART.
- 00:45:06.093 --> 00:45:08.896
- WHAT DOES IT SAY?
- 00:45:08.896 --> 00:45:10.764
- PUT THE WORD OF GOD IN YOUR HEART, WHY?
- 00:45:10.764 --> 00:45:12.065
- THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST THEE.
- 00:45:12.065 --> 00:45:15.402
- - SPRING, IT FILLS US WITH HOPE AS WE WATCH THINGS
- 00:45:15.402 --> 00:45:18.705
- THAT WERE DORMANT IN WINTER SPRING TO LIFE AGAIN.
- 00:45:18.705 --> 00:45:22.309
- FRIEND, TBN IS A BEACON OF THAT HOPE IN TIMES

- - YOU KNEW MY DADDY VERY WELL.
- 00:46:17.364 --> 00:46:19.233
- YOU KNEW MY MOM.
- 00:46:19.233 --> 00:46:20.734
- THEY'RE IN HEAVEN.
- 00:46:20.734 --> 00:46:22.169
- THEY'VE BEEN IN HEAVEN FOR QUITE A WHILE.
- 00:46:22.169 --> 00:46:25.505
- I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS,
- 00:46:25.505 --> 00:46:26.773
- IF THEY'RE LOOKING DOWN AND WATCHING THIS
- 00:46:26.773 --> 00:46:28.709
- BROADCAST OR IF THEY'RE, I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT ALL--
- 00:46:28.709 --> 00:46:31.178
- - I THINK THEY'RE WATCHING THIS.
- 00:46:31.178 --> 00:46:32.279
- - I THINK I KNOW HOW IT WORKS.
- 00:46:32.279 --> 00:46:35.682
- THEY'RE, WE'RE IN A TIME SPACE WARP.
- 00:46:35.682 --> 00:46:39.052
- HEAVEN IS NOT. THEY'RE ALL AROUND US.
- 00:46:39.052 --> 00:46:42.823
- SUSIE WAS TELLING ONE OF HER FRIENDS THAT LOST
- 00:46:42.823 --> 00:46:44.825
- HER HUSBAND THE OTHER DAY, YOU KNOW,
- 00:46:44.825 --> 00:46:47.094
- REMEMBER WHEN ELIJAH SAW THOSE ANGELS UP THERE AND
- 00:46:47.094 --> 00:46:50.330
- NOBODY ELSE SAW THEM?
- 00:46:50.330 --> 00:46:51.632
- THEY'RE ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
- 00:46:51.632 --> 00:46:53.033
- THEY'RE ALL AROUND US.
- 00:46:53.033 --> 00:46:54.902
- THEY'RE RIGHT HERE IN THIS TIME SPACE WARP.
- 00:46:54.902 --> 00:46:57.404
- HEAVEN IS RIGHT HERE ALL AROUND US.
- 00:46:57.404 --> 00:46:59.106
- - OKAY, YOU JUST SAID TIME SPACE WARP,
- 00:46:59.106 --> 00:47:01.441
- SO THAT'S KIND OF "CHARASMANIAC" A LITTLE
- 00:47:01.441 --> 00:47:04.711
- BIT, OKAY. SO LET'S NOT...
- 00:47:04.711 --> 00:47:06.713
- - IT IS WHAT IT IS BABY.
- 00:47:06.713 --> 00:47:08.115
- - I'M TEASING.
- 00:47:08.115 --> 00:47:10.317
- BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS BUT I KNOW THIS,
- 00:47:10.317 --> 00:47:14.821
- IF MY DADDY CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT
- 00:47:14.821 --> 00:47:17.824
- NOW, AND HE KNOWS I HAD A BAPTIST PREACHER SITTING
- 00:47:17.824 --> 00:47:21.194
- IN THIS STUDIO AND DIDN'T GIVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY
- 00:47:21.194 --> 00:47:24.231
- TO LOOK INTO THAT CAMERA AND LEAD SOMEONE TO
- 00:47:24.231 --> 00:47:27.534
- JESUS, WE'D BE ALL IN TROUBLE, OKAY?
- 00:47:27.534 --> 00:47:29.770
- - RIGHT.
- 00:47:29.770 --> 00:47:31.071
- - SO O.S. HAWKINS, THE PREACHER IN YOU, YOU'RE
- 00:47:31.071 --> 00:47:33.807
- AN AUTHOR, YOU'RE WRITING THINGS NOW,
- 00:47:33.807 --> 00:47:36.777
- YOU WANT US FILLED WITH THE PASSION.
- 00:47:36.777 --> 00:47:39.246
- GOD HAS SHOWN THAT HE'S WITH US, HE'S FOR US,
- 00:47:39.246 --> 00:47:42.082
- HE'S IN US NOW.
- 00:47:42.082 --> 00:47:43.650
- THE PASSION OF JESUS SHOULD FLOW OUT THROUGH
- 00:47:43.650 --> 00:47:46.286
- ALL OF US, BUT SOMEBODY'S GOT TO GET THERE FIRST.
- 00:47:46.286 --> 00:47:49.222
- AND THIS IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO.
- 00:47:49.222 --> 00:47:52.225
- IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING.
- 00:47:52.225 --> 00:47:53.593
- I LOVE WATCHING YOU.
- 00:47:53.593 --> 00:47:54.728
- - THANK YOU MATT.
- 00:47:54.728 --> 00:47:55.896
- - SO LOOK INTO YOUR CAMERA, WHICHEVER ONE THEY
- 00:47:55.896 --> 00:47:58.265
- POINT YOU TO WITH THE RED LIGHT ON TOP.
- 00:47:58.265 --> 00:48:00.934
- LOOK AT THE AUDIENCE AND GO BACK TO THAT MOMENT,
- 00:48:00.934 --> 00:48:05.005
- JUST A FEW MOMENTS AGO YOU WERE TOUCHED BY THE
- 00:48:05.005 --> 00:48:07.374
- PASSION OF SITTING IN THAT CAR AT 17,
- 00:48:07.374 --> 00:48:11.478
- KNOWING THAT YOU HAD YOUR FIRST BIBLE,
- 00:48:11.478 --> 00:48:13.580
- YOU'RE FIGURING STUFF OUT.
- 00:48:13.580 --> 00:48:15.515
- THERE'S PEOPLE THAT NEED TO GET TO THAT POINT,
- 00:48:15.515 --> 00:48:17.951
- OKAY, THAT WANNA KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT,
- 00:48:17.951 --> 00:48:22.356
- WANT TO KNOW WHY GOD IS WITH US IN SUCH A WAY.
- 00:48:22.356 --> 00:48:25.892
- SO PLEASE DO YOUR THING.
- 00:48:25.892 --> 00:48:27.561
- - THANK YOU FOR ASKING ME BECAUSE SCORES OF
- 00:48:27.561 --> 00:48:30.063
- TIMES PAUL CROUCH ASKED ME TO DO THAT,
- 00:48:30.063 --> 00:48:32.332
- AND I LOVE TO DO IT, AND IT NEVER GETS OLD.
- 00:48:32.332 --> 00:48:35.469
- SO LET ME JUST SAY TO ALL OF YOU,
- 00:48:35.469 --> 00:48:37.938
- WE TALKED A MOMENT AGO ABOUT TRIADS,
- 00:48:37.938 --> 00:48:40.974
- HOW THINGS HAPPEN IN THREES.
- 00:48:40.974 --> 00:48:43.010
- YOU KNOW, THERE ARE ONLY THREE RELATIONSHIPS IN
- 00:48:43.010 --> 00:48:45.679
- LIFE. YOU ONLY HAVE THREE RELATIONSHIPS IN LIFE.
- 00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:47.914
- THERE'S THE OUTWARD EXPRESSION,
- 00:48:47.914 --> 00:48:49.416
- THAT'S THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH EACH OTHER
- 00:48:49.416 --> 00:48:51.084
- AT HOME, AT THE OFFICE AND SOCIAL ARENA WHERE WE
- 00:48:51.084 --> 00:48:54.054
- CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER.
- 00:48:54.054 --> 00:48:55.722
- WE'RE MADE TO CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER.
- 00:48:55.722 --> 00:48:58.759
- GOD, IN HIS GREAT CREATIVE ORDER,
- 00:48:58.759 --> 00:49:01.828
- MADE EVERYTHING, HE STOPPED AND SAID THAT'S GOOD.
- 00:49:01.828 --> 00:49:04.197
- HE MADE THE STARS, HE SAID THAT'S GOOD;
- 00:49:04.197 --> 00:49:05.832
- HE DIVIDED THE SEA AND LAND, THAT'S GOOD;
- 00:49:05.832 --> 00:49:07.501
- HE MADE MAN, HE SAID SOMETHING ELSE.
- 00:49:07.501 --> 00:49:08.635
- WHAT DID HE SAY? NOT GOOD.
- 00:49:08.635 --> 00:49:10.604
- HE SAYS IT'S NOT GOOD FOR MAN TO BE ALONE BECAUSE
- 00:49:10.604 --> 00:49:13.073
- WE'RE MADE TO CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER IN AN
- 00:49:13.073 --> 00:49:15.108
- OUTWARD RELATIONSHIP.
- 00:49:15.108 --> 00:49:16.643
- THERE'S ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE,
- 00:49:16.643 --> 00:49:18.111
- THAT'S THE INWARD RELATIONSHIP.
- 00:49:18.111 --> 00:49:20.147
- SOME PEOPLE CALL IT SELF-WORTH, SELF-RESPECT.
- 00:49:20.147 --> 00:49:22.349
- I GET UP IN THE MORNING AND SHAVE,
- 00:49:22.349 --> 00:49:23.850
- LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR,
- 00:49:23.850 --> 00:49:25.085
- I HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH MYSELF.
- 00:49:25.085 --> 00:49:26.620
- AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS USUALLY IF I EVER HAVE A
- 00:49:26.620 --> 00:49:29.189
- FRAYED RELATIONSHIP WITH MY WIFE SUSIE?
- 00:49:29.189 --> 00:49:31.358
- IT'S ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN ME AND I JUST
- 00:49:31.358 --> 00:49:33.894
- PROJECT IT OVER THERE.
- 00:49:33.894 --> 00:49:35.362
- BUT SO WE HAVE AN OUTWARD RELATIONSHIP,
- 00:49:35.362 --> 00:49:37.264
- WE HAVE AN INWARD RELATIONSHIP.
- 00:49:37.264 --> 00:49:38.665
- THERE'S ONE OTHER RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE.
- 00:49:38.665 --> 00:49:40.634
- THIS IS AN AWESOME THOUGHT.
- 00:49:40.634 --> 00:49:43.036
- IT DISTINGUISHES US FROM ALL THE OTHER CREATED
- 00:49:43.036 --> 00:49:46.306
- ORDER BECAUSE WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO COME INTO AN
- 00:49:46.306 --> 00:49:49.309
- UPWARD RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST
- 00:49:49.309 --> 00:49:53.713
- AND KNOW HIM IN THE INTIMACY OF FATHER AND
- 00:49:53.713 --> 00:49:56.850
- CHILD. SO WHAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE?
- 00:49:56.850 --> 00:49:58.819
- YOU'RE NEVER GONNA BE PROPERLY RELATING
- 00:49:58.819 --> 00:50:00.220
- TO EACH OTHER.
- 00:50:00.220 --> 00:50:01.455
- SOME OF YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH LIFE IN
- 00:50:01.455 --> 00:50:02.823
- BROKEN RELATIONSHIP AFTER BROKEN RELATIONSHIP
- 00:50:02.823 --> 00:50:04.658
- AFTER BROKEN RELATIONSHIP. WHY?
- 00:50:04.658 --> 00:50:07.594
- YOU'RE NEVER GONNA BE PROPERLY RELATED TO
- 00:50:07.594 --> 00:50:09.429
- OTHERS UNTIL YOU'RE PROPERLY RELATED TO YOURSELF.
- 00:50:09.429 --> 00:50:14.034
- AND THAT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN UNTIL YOU
- 00:50:14.034 --> 00:50:17.137
- UNDERSTAND HOW INDESCRIBABLY VALUABLE
- 00:50:17.137 --> 00:50:20.207
- YOU ARE TO GOD, AND COME INTO RELATIONSHIP WITH
- 00:50:20.207 --> 00:50:22.709
- GOD THROUGH CHRIST, AND BEGIN TO FIND YOUR
- 00:50:22.709 --> 00:50:25.312
- SELF-WORTH IN HIM.
- 00:50:25.312 --> 00:50:27.881
- THAT'S WHY PAUL SAID CHRIST IN ME
- 00:50:27.881 --> 00:50:30.250
- IS THE HOPE OF GLORY.
- 00:50:30.250 --> 00:50:32.853
- THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP IN LIFE IS
- 00:50:32.853 --> 00:50:35.288
- THAT UPWARD EXPRESSION TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST AND
- 00:50:35.288 --> 00:50:38.525
- THE FREE PARDON OF YOUR SIN.
- 00:50:38.525 --> 00:50:40.393
- THE BIBLE SAYS HEAVEN'S A FREE GIFT.
- 00:50:40.393 --> 00:50:42.796
- YOU CAN'T EARN IT. YOU CAN'T DESERVE IT.
- 00:50:42.796 --> 00:50:44.965
- IT'S A GIFT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO
- 00:50:44.965 --> 00:50:47.200
- GET A GIFT IS TO JUST TO RECEIVE IT.
- 00:50:47.200 --> 00:50:50.670
- IF MATT GAVE ME A GIFT AND I SAID WELL HERE'S A
- 00:50:50.670 --> 00:50:53.106
- HUNDRED DOLLARS, I COULD HAVE GONE DOWN TO THE
- 00:50:53.106 --> 00:50:55.408
- STORE AND BOUGHT THAT.
- 00:50:55.408 --> 00:50:56.710
- A GIFT IS SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T COST YOU ANYTHING.
- 00:50:56.710 --> 00:50:58.745
- ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO HAVE IT IS TO RECEIVE IT.
- 00:50:58.745 --> 00:51:01.148
- AND THE BIBLE SAYS THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL
- 00:51:01.148 --> 00:51:03.783
- LIFE. WE JUST HAVE TO RECEIVE IT.
- 00:51:03.783 --> 00:51:05.519
- BUT THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS MAN IS A SINNER.
- 00:51:05.519 --> 00:51:08.488
- WE'VE ALL SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF
- 00:51:08.488 --> 00:51:10.457
- GOD. THERE'S NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO NOT ONE,
- 00:51:10.457 --> 00:51:12.792
- AND THAT SIN IS WHAT SEPARATES US FROM GOD.
- 00:51:12.792 --> 00:51:15.395
- AND THEN THE BIBLE SAYS GOD'S A GOD OF LOVE.
- 00:51:15.395 --> 00:51:18.398
- HE DOESN'T WANT TO PUNISH US FOR OUR SIN,
- 00:51:18.398 --> 00:51:20.167
- BUT THE SAME BIBLE SAYS HE'S A GOD OF JUSTICE AND
- 00:51:20.167 --> 00:51:24.704
- MUST PUNISH SIN, SO THAT'S WHERE JESUS COMES IN.
- 00:51:24.704 --> 00:51:31.144
- JESUS IS THE INFINITE SIN BEARER,
- 00:51:31.144 --> 00:51:34.681
- THE SON OF GOD WHO CAME, CLOTHED HIMSELF IN HUMAN
- 00:51:34.681 --> 00:51:37.117
- FLESH, WENT TO THE CROSS, AND ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAD
- 00:51:37.117 --> 00:51:40.620
- GONE ASTRAY, WE TURNED EVERYONE TO OUR OWN WAY,
- 00:51:40.620 --> 00:51:43.190
- AND GOD LAID ON JESUS THE SINS OF US ALL.
- 00:51:43.190 --> 00:51:48.728
- BUT DO YOU KNOW IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW ALL THAT?
- 00:51:48.728 --> 00:51:51.031
- DO YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE DEVIL KNOWS
- 00:51:51.031 --> 00:51:53.600
- ALL THAT, AND THE DEVIL BELIEVES THAT AND TREMBLES.
- 00:51:53.600 --> 00:51:57.070
- IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW ALL THAT BECAUSE
- 00:51:57.070 --> 00:51:59.206
- FAITH IS THE KEY THAT OPENS THE DOOR.
- 00:51:59.206 --> 00:52:03.743
- THE BIBLE SAYS FOR BY GRACE ARE YOU SAVED
- 00:52:03.743 --> 00:52:06.880
- THROUGH FAITH AND FAITH ALONE.
- 00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:09.416
- IT'S THE GIFT OF GOD, NOT OF WORKS,
- 00:52:09.416 --> 00:52:13.086
- LEST ANYONE SHOULD BOAST,
- 00:52:13.086 --> 00:52:14.988
- FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP CREATED IN
- 00:52:14.988 --> 00:52:18.191
- CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS.
- 00:52:18.191 --> 00:52:21.695
- SO COMING TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST IS AS SIMPLE AS
- 00:52:21.695 --> 00:52:24.197
- PUTTING YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN HIM ALONE.
- 00:52:24.197 --> 00:52:27.834
- MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN TRUSTING IN YOUR OWN
- 00:52:27.834 --> 00:52:29.269
- MARRIAGE, YOUR OWN EFFORT.
- 00:52:29.269 --> 00:52:30.737
- MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN TRUSTING YOUR MOTHER'S
- 00:52:30.737 --> 00:52:32.572
- FAITH OR YOUR FATHER'S FAITH.
- 00:52:32.572 --> 00:52:34.074
- MAYBE YOU KNOW SOMEBODY.
- 00:52:34.074 --> 00:52:35.475
- NO.
- 00:52:35.475 --> 00:52:36.810
- IT'S SO, SO IMPORTANT, IT'S JUST BETWEEN YOU AND
- 00:52:36.810 --> 00:52:41.481
- CHRIST. AND RIGHT NOW HE SAID I STAND AT THE DOOR
- 00:52:41.481 --> 00:52:44.084
- AND KNOCK, IF YOU'LL HEAR MY VOICE AND
- 00:52:44.084 --> 00:52:46.319
- OPEN THE DOOR, I'LL COME IN.
- 00:52:46.319 --> 00:52:47.654
- HE'S KNOCKING ON YOUR HEART.
- 00:52:47.654 --> 00:52:49.789
- AND YOU KNOW, IF I'D COME TO YOUR HOME AND KNOCKED
- 00:52:49.789 --> 00:52:51.358
- ON THE DOOR, I WON'T BARGE INTO YOUR HOUSE,
- 00:52:51.358 --> 00:52:53.093
- BUT IF YOU CAME AND OPENED THE DOOR AND
- 00:52:53.093 --> 00:52:54.427
- INVITED ME IN, I'D COME.
- 00:52:54.427 --> 00:52:55.829
- CHRIST WON'T BARGE INTO YOUR LIFE,
- 00:52:55.829 --> 00:52:57.564
- BUT HE'S KNOCKING, AND IF YOU'LL OPEN THE DOOR
- 00:52:57.564 --> 00:52:59.699
- RIGHT NOW AND SAY COME IN, HE'LL DO IT.
- 00:52:59.699 --> 00:53:02.269
- AND, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS WHOEVER SHALL CALL
- 00:53:02.269 --> 00:53:04.137
- ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED,
- 00:53:04.137 --> 00:53:07.107
- SO I WANT THE PRIVILEGE RIGHT NOW JUST TO LEAD
- 00:53:07.107 --> 00:53:09.442
- YOU IN THIS PRAYER TO ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR
- 00:53:09.442 --> 00:53:12.779
- HEART BY FAITH.
- 00:53:12.779 --> 00:53:15.015
- JUST SAY DEAR LORD JESUS.
- 00:53:15.015 --> 00:53:16.516
- WHEREVER YOU ARE RIGHT NOW,
- 00:53:16.516 --> 00:53:17.651
- JUST SAY DEAR LORD JESUS,
- 00:53:17.651 --> 00:53:19.219
- THANK YOU FOR DYING ON THE CROSS FOR ME.
- 00:53:19.219 --> 00:53:22.522
- LORD, FORGIVE ME MY SIN.
- 00:53:22.522 --> 00:53:24.891
- I TURN TO YOU,
- 00:53:24.891 --> 00:53:25.892
- I OPEN THE DOOR OF MY HEART AND LIFE.
- 00:53:25.892 --> 00:53:28.094
- COME IN TODAY.
- 00:53:28.094 --> 00:53:29.496
- COME IN TO STAY.
- 00:53:29.496 --> 00:53:31.164
- COME IN TO MY HEART LORD JESUS.
- 00:53:31.164 --> 00:53:33.133
- AND AS AN EXPRESSION OF THANK YOU, NO,
- 00:53:33.133 --> 00:53:35.368
- HE'S NOT A LIAR, HE'LL DO WHAT HE SAID HE'D DO.
- 00:53:35.368 --> 00:53:37.570
- JUST SAY THANK YOU JESUS FOR COMING INTO
- 00:53:37.570 --> 00:53:40.640
- MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.
- 00:53:40.640 --> 00:53:42.542
- THE BIBLE SAYS WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVES,
- 00:53:42.542 --> 00:53:44.077
- WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION.
- 00:53:44.077 --> 00:53:47.314
- TELL SOMEBODY ABOUT IT TODAY.
- 00:53:47.314 --> 00:53:50.684
- - CALL THE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN.
- 00:53:50.684 --> 00:53:54.621
- WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
- 00:53:54.621 --> 00:53:56.222
- WE WANT TO KNOW.
- 00:53:56.222 --> 00:53:58.124
- THAT'S WHAT TBN WAS RAISED UP TO DO.
- 00:53:58.124 --> 00:54:00.660
- WHAT DR. O.S. HAWKINS JUST DID IS THE REASON THAT
- 00:54:00.660 --> 00:54:05.031
- TBN EXISTS, TO GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACCEPT JESUS.
- 00:54:05.031 --> 00:54:10.303
- WE WANT YOU TO HAVE A PASSION FOR JESUS.
- 00:54:10.303 --> 00:54:13.907
- WE WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT JESUS,
- 00:54:13.907 --> 00:54:16.943
- SO WE WRITE THESE RESOURCES,
- 00:54:16.943 --> 00:54:18.378
- WE MAKE THEM AVAILABLE.
- 00:54:18.378 --> 00:54:20.246
- - THEY WRITE THE RESOURCES.
- 00:54:20.246 --> 00:54:21.548
- - YEAH, AND ULTIMATELY DR. HAWKINS,
- 00:54:21.548 --> 00:54:26.086
- TO ME IT'S O.S. JUST BECAUSE I'VE KNOWN YOU
- 00:54:26.086 --> 00:54:29.389
- ALL MY LIFE, BUT O.S. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
- 00:54:29.389 --> 00:54:33.727
- A PERFECT PRAISE PROGRAM.
- 00:54:33.727 --> 00:54:36.496
- - THANK YOU. THANK YOU MATT.
- 00:54:36.496 --> 00:54:37.897
- - WE TALKED ABOUT GOD WITH US, GOD FOR US,
- 00:54:37.897 --> 00:54:41.601
- GOD IN US, AND THEN WE LED PEOPLE TO JESUS.
- 00:54:41.601 --> 00:54:44.771
- THIS ONE HOUR IS WHAT TBN--
- 00:54:44.771 --> 00:54:47.707
- - IT'S WHAT TBN'S BEEN FOREVER.
- 00:54:47.707 --> 00:54:49.476
- - IS MEANT TO DO AND IT'S STILL DOING IT.
- 00:54:49.476 --> 00:54:52.112
- YOU WITNESSED IT HERE.
- 00:54:52.112 --> 00:54:54.481
- WE LOVE YOU, WE THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.
- 00:54:54.481 --> 00:54:56.850
- THE PASSION CODE, OUR MONTHLY RESOURCE. GET IT.
- 00:54:56.850 --> 00:54:59.619
- WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
- 00:54:59.619 --> 00:55:01.020
- THANK YOU O.S.
- 00:55:01.020 --> 00:55:02.021
- BYE BYE.
- 00:55:02.021 --> 00:55:02.021
