03:43 >> THAT'S A VERY INTERESTING QUESTION BECAUSE I WAS RAISED A 03:47 CHRISTIAN, RAISED IN THE CHURCH. 03:50 BUT TO BE A CHRISTIAN, TO KNOW CHRIST, TWO COMPLETELY 03:52 DIFFERENT THINGS. 03:54 THROUGH A SERIES OF EVENTS IN MY LIFE, I HAVE ALWAYS HAD 03:57 TO LEARN TO FORGIVE. 03:59 IT WASN'T UNTIL 2005 THAT SOMETHING DRAMATIC HAPPENED 04:02 IN MY LIFE WHERE I NOW NEEDED TO BE FORGIVEN. 04:06 AND CHRIST TOOK ME ON THIS AMAZING JOURNEY OF SHOWING ME 04:09 HIS GRACE, HIS MERCY, AND HIS LOVE. 04:13 >> THAT'S WHAT THE GOSPEL IS ABOUT, GRACE, MERCY, AND LOVE. 04:18 IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT GOING TO CHURCH. 04:21 NOT JUST ABOUT GOING TO CHURCH. 04:22 >> EXACTLY. 04:24 >> NOW TODAY YOU'RE GOING TO SING US A BEAUTIFUL SONG. 04:26 WHAT'S IT CALLED? 04:27 >> IT'S CALLED "HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW," A SONG THAT I HAVE 04:30 SUNG FOR YEARS BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE TAKE NATURE FOR GRANTED, BUT 04:38 GOD ALWAYS LOOKS AFTER NATURE. 04:41 HE LOOKS AFTER THE SPARROWS. 04:43 AND IF HE LOOKS AFTER THEM, HOW MUCH MORE IS HE GONNA 04:45 LOOK FOR--AFTER US?

09:57 JESUS GIVES US THE ANSWER IN VERSES 15 AND 16 OF THE SAME 10:01 CHAPTER WHEN HE SAYS, "WATCH OUT FOR FALSE PROPHETS. 10:05 BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM." 10:08 WE NEED TO JUDGE THE FRUITS OF THEIR LIVES TO KNOW WHETHER 10:11 THEY ARE FALSE OR TRUE. 10:13 IF A CHURCH OR BUSINESS HAS TO FILL AN IMPORTANT POSITION, THE 10:17 COMMITTEE OR BOARD HAS TO MAKE CERTAIN JUDGMENTS SO THEY CAN 10:21 GET THE RIGHT AND THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB. 10:25 THE CRITIQUE OR JUDGMENTS SHOULD NOT BE DONE IN AN UNKIND 10:30 OR MEAN WAY. 10:32 PARENTS HAVE TO MAKE JUDGMENTS ABOUT FRIENDS 10:35 FOR THEIR CHILDREN. 10:37 WE SHOULD BE FRIENDLY TO EVERYONE, BUT WE ALL MAKE 10:41 JUDGMENTS ABOUT WHO WE'RE GOING TO HANG OUT WITH, HOPEFULLY 10:45 NOT IN A SELF-RIGHTEOUS WAY, BUT SIMPLY BECAUSE WE HAVE 10:47 DIFFERENT VALUES AND BELIEFS. 10:50 THE UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD IS OUR FINAL JUDGE SHOULD HELP US 10:55 TO KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE. 10:58 TODAY THERE IS MUCH TALK ABOUT BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT. 11:01 ONE MUST NOT DISAGREE WITH THE MAJORITY OR MINORITY 11:05 AS THE CASE MAY BE. 11:07 ONE MUST NOT JUDGE ANOTHER ON THEIR BEHAVIOR WITHOUT THE RISK 11:10 OF BEING CALLED INTOLERANT OR A BIGOT OR WORSE. 11:15 DO NOT JUDGE DOES NOT MEAN DO NOT THINK. 11:19 THE BIBLE CLEARLY TEACHES THERE ARE TIMES AND SITUATIONS WHEN WE 11:24 HAVE TO EVALUATE WHETHER SOMETHING IS RIGHT OR WRONG, 11:28 GOOD OR BAD. 11:30 HOW DO WE GET THIS WISDOM TO DISCERN BETWEEN TRUTH AND ERROR? 11:36 WE MUST READ THE BIBLE EVERY DAY. 11:40 AMEN AND THANK YOU. 11:43 [APPLAUDING] 11:48 >> THE TOPIC TODAY IS "THE BAD NEWS 11:50 IS THE GOOD NEWS." 11:53 I'VE JUST BEEN RUNNING A CAMPAIGN IN RUSSIA. 11:56 IT HAD GONE FOREVER. 11:57 I WAS BEAT UP, I WAS TIRED, I WANTED TO GET HOME. 12:02 I WENT TO THE MOSCOW AIRPORT AND WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO CHECK IN, 12:07 THEY SAID TO ME, "THE PLANE IS OVERSOLD IN ECONOMY," 12:14 WHICH IS WHERE I WAS. 12:16 THE PLANE IS OVERSOLD. 12:18 IS THAT GOOD NEWS OR BAD NEWS? 12:21 HMM? 12:22 COME ON, WHAT IS IT? 12:23 IT'S BAD NEWS. 12:24 SO THAT'S THE BAD NEWS. 12:25 NOW WHEN I'M STUCK IN MOSCOW AT THE AIRPORT, I GO TO A HOTEL. 12:32 IT'S ABOUT THE WORST HOTEL ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH, 12:36 EXCEPT THE DEEPEST RECESSES OF THE CONGO. 12:40 IT'S AN OLD STALIN RELIC. 12:43 I'VE STAYED THERE SEVERAL TIMES. 12:46 IT'S SORT OF A PLACE WHERE YOU'D PUT PRISONERS AND IT'S EXPENSIVE 12:52 AND THE FOOD IS THE WORST. 12:55 AND SO I THOUGHT, "I'M STUCK IN MOSCOW. 12:58 EITHER I STAY AT THE AIRPORT AND SLEEP AT THE AIRPORT, 13:01 SLEEP SITTING UP, WHERE YOU WALK THAT WAY 13:03 FOR ANOTHER WEEK, OR I'LL GO TO THE PART OF THE GULAG 13:08 ARCHIPELAGO, THIS HORROR HOTEL. 13:12 BUT THEN THE LADY SAID TO ME, "WE'RE COMPLETELY SOLD OUT," 13:16 SHE SAID. 13:17 "THE PLANE IS OVERBOOKED IN ECONOMY." 13:20 SHE SAID, "WOULD YOU MIND IF WE PUT YOU IN BUSINESS CLASS?" 13:25 [LAUGHING] >> IS THAT GOOD NEWS 13:28 OR BAD NEWS? 13:30 >> GOOD NEWS. 13:30 >> IT'S GOOD NEWS. 13:31 SO REMEMBER THIS, MY FRIEND. 13:34 THE BAD NEWS IS THE GOOD NEWS IF YOU HAVE A PERSPECTIVE FROM GOD. 13:42 I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR BIBLES, PLEASE, AND TURN 13:45 TO MATTHEW 24:33. 13:47 AND I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU HERE TODAY AND I'M GLAD TO BE HERE 13:50 TODAY TOO. 13:52 MATTHEW 24:33. 13:55 AND IF YOU'VE GOT AN AMEN IN YOU, LET IT OUT BECAUSE IT'LL 13:58 HURT YOU IF YOU KEEP IT INSIDE. 14:02 HEAR THAT, ALAN? 14:03 IF YOU'VE GOT AN AMEN, AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU'VE GOT A 14:06 HALLELUJAH, DON'T KEEP IT INSIDE OR ELSE IT'LL DO SOME DAMAGE 14:09 TO YOUR BODY. 14:11 MATTHEW 24:33. 14:16 THIS BOOK IS CALLED THE LITTLE APOCALYPSE. 14:19 MATTHEW 24:33, "EVEN SO, WHEN YOU SEE ALL THESE THINGS, 14:26 YOU KNOW THAT IT OR HE IS NEAR, RIGHT AT THE DOOR." 14:33 WHEN JESUS SAYS, "ALL THESE THINGS," HE IS TALKING ABOUT 14:38 GREAT AND AWESOME EVENTS THAT COME TO THE EARTH THAT STRIKE 14:45 FEAR TO THE HEARTS OF MEN. 14:51 AND FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, THESE GREAT 14:54 EVENTS ARE GOING TO BE BAD NEWS. 14:58 BUT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU TODAY THAT THE BAD NEWS IS 15:03 THE GOOD NEWS. 15:05 I'M GOING TO COME OVER HERE TO THE BLACKBOARD AND I WANT TO PUT 15:07 UP SOMETHING ON THE BLACKBOARD. 15:10 I'M GOING TO PUT UP THE WORD MARANATHA. 15:13 YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS? 15:16 MARANATHA. 15:21 MARANATHA. 15:24 IT IS NOT A GREEK WORD, EVEN THOUGH IT IS FOUND IN THE BIBLE, 15:28 IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. 15:29 COME OVER HERE TO 1 CORINTHIANS 16:22. 15:32 IT'S THE ONLY TIME YOU'LL READ ABOUT MARANATHA IN THE BIBLE 15:37 BECAUSE IT IS AN ARAMAIC WORD. 15:40 1 CORINTHIANS 16:22. 15:43 IT IS ARAMAIC, WHICH WAS THE VERNACULAR OF THE TIMES 15:49 OF CHRIST. 15:51 1 CORINTHIANS 16:22. 15:55 IT WAS LIKE THE ENGLISH OF THE OLD WORLD. 15:59 "IF ANYONE DOES NOT LOVE THE LORD, A CURSE BE ON HIM." 16:04 THAT'S ANATHEMA. 16:06 AND THEN HE SAYS, "COME, O LORD!" 16:09 AND IF YOU LOOK DOWN IN THE MARGIN, IT SAYS MARANATHA. 16:14 NOW THIS WORD, THIS ARAMAIC WORD, WHICH GETS INTO THE 16:18 WRITINGS OF THE APOSTLE PAUL, MEANS "COME, O LORD," 16:24 OR "THE LORD IS COMING." 16:28 NOW WHEN YOU GO TO AFRICA AND WHEN THEY SAY THIS WORD, 16:31 WHEN THE PASTOR SAYS TO THE CONGREGATION, "MARANATHA," THE 16:36 PEOPLE SAY, "JESUS IS COMING." 16:39 SO WE BELIEVE THAT THE LORD IS JESUS CHRIST. 16:42 AND SO WE CAN SAY MARANATHA, WHICH MEANS 16:47 "THE LORD IS COMING." 16:50 NOW THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE LORD IS COMING. 16:54 AND WHATEVER HAPPENS IN THIS WORLD, EVEN THOUGH THOSE THINGS 16:58 MAY BE HORRENDOUS AND STRIKE FEAR TO THE HEARTS OF MEN, 17:03 THE GOOD NEWS IS MARANATHA. 17:07 JESUS IS COMING. 17:10 NOW TODAY, MY BELOVED FRIENDS, I WANT TO GIVE YOU TEN GREAT 17:17 SIGNS, TEN GREAT SIGNS. 17:21 BAD NEWS TO THE WORLD, GOOD NEWS TO THE BELIEVER. 17:26 NUMBER ONE, THE SURGE OF SPIRITISM. 17:31 PLEASE COME OVER HERE WITH ME TO THE APOCALYPSE, 17:33 REVELATION 16. 17:36 REVELATION 16:13-15. 17:39 AND I COULD TAKE YOU TO OTHER PASSAGES THAT ARE EVEN MORE 17:42 EXPLICIT, BUT AT THIS STAGE, REVELATION 16:13-15. 17:50 "THEN I SAW THREE EVIL SPIRITS THAT LOOKED LIKE FROGS; 17:59 THEY CAME OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE DRAGON, 18:01 OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE BEAST AND OUT OF THE MOUTH 18:05 OF THE FALSE PROPHET." 18:09 HERE YOU HAVE A TRINITY OF UNCLEAN POWERS IN THE LAST DAYS. 18:13 "THEY ARE THE SPIRITS OF DEMONS PERFORMING MIRACULOUS SIGNS, 18:19 AND THEY GO OUT TO THE KINGS OF THE WHOLE WORLD, TO GATHER THEM 18:22 FOR THE BATTLE ON THE GREAT DAY OF GOD ALMIGHTY." 18:29 HAVE YOU NOTICED--YOU'D HAVE TO BE BLIND NOT TO NOTICE THE 18:33 TREMENDOUS INTEREST TODAY AMONG THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD 18:37 AND THE PEOPLE OF HOLLYWOOD IN SPIRITISM. 18:40 HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT? 18:41 CLINT EASTWOOD, CLINT EASTWOOD HAS DONE A MOVIE ON LIFE 18:48 AFTER DEATH. 18:49 WHY? 18:50 BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE FASCINATED IN IT. 18:53 WHEN YOU TURN ON TELEVISION, THERE ARE SHOWS WHERE THEY SAY 18:57 THEY CAN ACTUALLY GET YOU IN CONTACT WITH THE DEAD. 19:03 THIS TREMENDOUS SURGE OF SPIRITISM IS A SIGN THAT 19:09 THE LORD IS COMING. 19:11 MAYBE I'LL START TO PUT UP SOME OF THESE SIGNS ON 19:15 THE BLACKBOARD. 19:16 THE FIRST ONE IS THE GREAT REVIVAL OF THE OCCULT. 19:22 IT IS BAD NEWS. 19:24 LISTEN TO ME. 19:28 I CAN PROVE TO YOU FROM HOLY SCRIPTURE THAT IN THE LAST DAYS 19:34 THE WHOLE WORLD BECOMES DEMON POSSESSED. 19:38 YOU THINK THINGS ARE BAD NOW?

TODAY, LISTEN TO ME, 26:53 MY CHRISTIAN FRIENDS AROUND THE WORLD, TODAY 26:58 THERE SEEMS TO BE, AT LEAST IN THE WESTERN WORLD, 27:03 A PARALYSIS IN THE CHURCH. 27:07 THERE SEEMS TO BE AN INDIFFERENCE TO GOD AND THE 27:12 PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL. 27:15 AND THIS IS SHOWN BY THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE WHO CALL 27:20 THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS. 27:22 AND WE SHALL CALL THIS-- THIS POINT A SLEEPING-- 27:30 A SLEEPING CHURCH. 27:35 NOW YOU CAN SEE, MY FRIEND, BY THE INDIFFERENCE TO EVANGELISM 27:40 AND THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL AMONG THE VAST NUMBERS OF 27:44 CHRISTIANS HERE IN NORTH AMERICA AND IN AUSTRALIA. 27:51 IT IS A SIGN OF THE TIMES. 27:56 AND IT MUST REALLY AND TRULY-- IT MUST AMAZE THE ANGELS. 28:05 NOW I KNOW MANY OF MY CHRISTIAN FRIENDS ARE ALARMED 28:09 AT THE SPREAD OF ISLAM. 28:11 THEY SAY, "WHAT CAN WE DO TO STOP IT?" 28:15 AND SOME SAY, "WELL, WE WILL STOP THEM BUILDING MOSQUES." 28:20 HAVE YOU NEVER READ THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION? 28:26 DO YOU WANT TO GO DOWN THE ROAD OF INTOLERANCE IN BLINDNESS? 28:34 IF YOU WANT TO BUILD THE CHURCH, THEN PREACH THE GOSPEL 28:39 AND DO EVANGELISM. 28:43 GREAT BRITAIN, WHICH SAW THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE GREAT 28:48 PROTESTANT REFORMATION, RULED BRITANNIA. 28:52 BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES. 28:56 LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY. 28:59 COME NOW. 29:02 THERE ARE FAR MORE MOSLEMS WHO GO TO MOSQUE ON FRIDAYS IN 29:06 GREAT BRITAIN THAN CHRISTIANS WHO GO TO CHURCH. 29:10 DON'T BLAME THE MOSLEMS. 29:12 BLAME A SLEEPING CHURCH BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE MUSLIMS BELIEVE 29:18 MORE IN WHAT THEY BELIEVE THAN THE CHRISTIANS BELIEVE 29:21 IN WHAT THEY BELIEVE. 29:26 AND SO THE SIGN OF A SLEEPING CHURCH, IT IS BAD NEWS. 29:32 BUT THE BAD NEWS IS THE GOOD NEWS BECAUSE JESUS IS COMING. 29:37 IT IS A GREAT SIGN OF THE TIMES. 29:42 AND I'M GOING TO TAKE IT EVEN FURTHER. 29:44 WHO KNOWS HOW LONG I WILL PREACH HERE?

30:33 THE BIBLE SAYS THIS. 30:35 NOW IF I WERE USING MY FAVORITE TRANSLATION, WHICH IS CLOSE TO 30:39 MY HEART, THE OLD KING JAMES VERSION, IT TALKS ABOUT 30:43 THE GREAT FALLING AWAY. 30:45 COME OVER HERE TO 2 THESSALONIANS 2:3. 30:50 BUT IT DOESN'T SAY IT QUITE LIKE THIS IN THE NIV. 30:55 2 THESSALONIANS 2:3, "DON'T LET ANYONE DECEIVE YOU IN ANY WAY, 31:04 FOR THAT DAY WILL NOT COME UNTIL THE REBELLION OCCURS AND THE MAN 31:09 OF LAWLESSNESS IS REVEALED, THE MAN DOOMED TO DESTRUCTION." 31:13 IN THE KING JAMES VERSION, IT SAYS WITH GREATER ELOQUENCE, IT 31:18 SAYS, "THAT DAY WILL NOT COME EXCEPT THERE IS A FALLING AWAY." 31:26 AND IN TIMOTHY, IT TALKS ABOUT PERILOUS TIMES COMING 31:31 AND IT TALKS ABOUT IT BEING IN THE CHURCH, A CORRUPTION IN 31:37 THE VERY HEART OF THE CHURCH. 31:41 I'M GOING TO MENTION BRIEFLY THE PLAGUE OF PEDOPHILES. 31:48 IRELAND, THOUSANDS, THOUSANDS OF VICTIMS, 31:55 THOUSANDS OF PEDOPHILES IN THE CHURCH. 31:58 ENGLAND, GERMANY, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, COVERED UP BY 32:03 THE CHURCH, BY THE HIERARCHY. 32:07 ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL DISGRACES, THERE IS NO SIN 32:14 AS BAD, I THINK. 32:17 YOU HEAR WHAT I'M SAYING?
