THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE THIS 28:05 EVENING IS "NOTHING HAS CHANGED." 28:11 IT WAS PHILLIPS BROOKS WHO SAID, SON WILL BE THE DAY FOR 28:17 EVERY MAN WHEN HE BECOMES ABSOLUTELY CONTENTED WITH THE 28:24 LIFE THAT HE IS NOW LIVING, WITH THE THOUGHTS THAT HE IS 28:28 NOW THINKING, WITH THE DEEDS THAT HE IS NOW DOING. 28:33 WHEN THERE IS NOT FOREVER BEATING AT THE DOORS OF HIS 28:38 SOUL SOME GREAT DESIRE TO DO SOMETHING LARGER WHICH HE 28:43 KNOWS THAT HE WAS MEANT AND MADE TO DO BECAUSE HE IS A 28:48 CHILD OF God. The day. 28:53 THE DAY THAT WE BECOME CONTENTED WITH THE LIFE THAT 28:58 WE ARE NOW LIVING IS THE DAY THAT WE HAVE CONFUSED OUR 29:03 COMFORT WITH OUR SAFETY. I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR BIBLES 29:08 AND TURN WITH ME TO THE BOOK OF GENESIS AND THE THIRD 29:14 CHAPTER. GENESIS, CHAPTER 3. 29:16 WE ARE GOING TO READ IN VERSE 7. you're there, you can say 29:20 SAY NEXT. IF YOU ARE NOT THERE SAY "HAVE 29:25 MERCY." GENESIS. 29:26 SHOULDN'T TAKE YOU THAT LONG. GENESIS, CHAPTER 3, VERSE 7. 29:33 ARE WE TOGETHER? AMEN? 29:36 THE BIBLE SAYS, "AND THE EYES WERE OPEN AND THEY KNEW THAT 29:44 THEY WERE NAKED. THEY SOWED and made themselves 29:50 AND MADE THEMSELVES APRONZ. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE 29:56 CURRENTLY IN THE BIBLE. THIS VERSE BRINGS OUT THE 30:02 REALITY THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE NAKED AND DON'T KNOW 30:08 IT. BUT JUST BECAUSE WE MIGHT HAVE 30:11 COME TO THE REALIZATION LAST NIGHT THAT WE HAVE LIED TO 30:16 OURSELF BUSY OUR our own condition. 30:19 CONDITION. THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY NAKED 30:21 WHEN WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE CLOTHED. 30:24 DOESN'T MEAN WE ARE FULLY OUT OF THE WOODS. 30:29 BECAUSE I BELIEVE and Eve, according to Genesis Chapter 3 30:32 GENESIS 37:00. THEY KNEW THEY WERE NAKED. 30:35 SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU COME TO THE REALITY THAT YOU ARE 30:39 NOW NAKED. WHAT DO YOU DO? 30:43 THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ADAM AND EVE, WHEN THEY CAME TO THIS 30:48 KNOWLEDGE, IT LED THEM TO SOMETHING THAT I LIKE TO CALL 30:54 SINOVATION. WHAT IS THE WORD? 30:57 SINOVATION. THE COMBINATION OF THE WORD 30:59 "SIN" AND INNOVATION. YOU SEE THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU 31:03 LOOK THERE WITH ME IN GENESIS CHAPTER 3, VERSE 7. 31:07 IT SAYS THAT AFTER THE EYES OF BOTH OF them were open 31:11 THEY KNEW THAT THEY WERE NAKED, WHAT DID THEY SUE 31:17 TOGETHER? SUED 31:20 FIG C. 31:22 DID WHAT? WHO TAUGHT THEM HOW TO TO SEW 31:33 FEEG LEERVES TOGETHER. IS THIS PART OF THE 31:35 ORIENTATION IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN? 31:39 THURSDAY NIGHT IS BINGO NIGHT. AND ON SUNDAY, WE ACTUALLY 31:45 TEACH what happened in the Garden of Yes or no? No, absolutely not. 31:51 THINK THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED? This means. 31:53 >> NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. THIS MEANS THAT THIS WAS AN 31:58 INNOVATION DRIVEN BY THEIR SIN. 32:03 BECAUSE THEY REALIZED THAT SOMETHING IN THEIR EXPERIENCE 32:07 HAD CHANGED. THEY WERE NOW NAKED. 32:11 THEY WERE VULNERABLE. THEY They were exposed 32:15 AND RATHER THAN GOING TO JESUS, THE ONE THAT CLOTHED 32:19 THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE, THEY DECIDED TO SYNOVATE. 32:27 THEY COULDN'T ACCEPT THE REALITY THERE WAS NOTHING THEY 32:29 COULD DO. YOU SEE, WE DECIDE decide in our hearts. 32:35 HEARTS, EVEN THOUGH WE REALIZE WE ARE SELF-DELUDING 32:40 OURSELVES, THAT I'M GOING TO ADDRESS MY OWN NAKEDNESS BY 32:45 SOME CREATIVE MEANS. TO COVER UP MY NAKEDNESS, 32:47 RATHER THAN GOING TO THE PERSON WHO CLOTHED ME WITH 32:51 THAT ROBE OF LIFE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. 32:55 I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT WHAT you and I do. When we fall. When we are tempted and we 33:04 f TEMPTED AND WE SAY -- WHEN WE 33:07 ARE GOING TO TRIALS AND DIFFICULTIES AND WE DO NOT 33:10 HOLD ON OUR FAITH IN JESUS. YOU SEE WE DECIDE THAT WE ARE 33:19 GOING TO JOIN A MISSION SCHOOL. 33:22 BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY WHAT WILL HELP ME me get over. My addiction. 33:27 ADDICTION. THIS IS WHAT WILL HELP ME TO 33:29 GET AWAY FROM THIS TOXIC RELATIONSHIP THAT I HAVE. 33:34 I'LL JOIN A MISSION SCHOOL AND takes me all the 33:36 FIND ONE THAT TAKES ME ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE WORLD. 33:39 BY DOING ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE WORLD, I'LL BE FREE FROM 33:42 THIS SINAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WE HAVE TO STOP 33:47 SINOWE VAITING AND GO TO JESUS. 33:50 WE DECIDE SOMEBODY -- I'LL LOCK MYSELF IN MY ROOM AND 33:54 SUPER GLUE MY BIBLE TO MY BODY. 33:58 UNTIL I FULLY UNDERSTAND AND HAVE THIS and have this thing on my 34:02 BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WE HAVE TO STOP SINOWE VAITING AND GO 34:07 TO JESUS. SOMEONE SAYS I WILL DENY 34:14 MYSELF EVERY PLEASURE THAT I NORMALLY ENJOY. 34:21 I DON'T DESERVE THE BLESSINGS OF THIS GOOD FRIENDSHIP. 34:25 I DON'T DESERVE THE BLESSINGS. WHY WOULD I CALL ON JESUS ONLY 34:28 WHEN THINGS ARE DIFFICULT. STOP SYNOVATING AND GO TO 34:35 JESUS. SOME OF US So guess what? We're going to 34:44 have to fake it till you make. HAVE TOE FAKE IT UNTIL YOU 34:47 MAKE IT. MAINTAIN PUBLIC APEARANCES 34:49 AND TRY TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL BEHIND THE SCENES. 34:52 YOU'VE GOT TOE STOP SINOVATTING AND GO TO -- SOME 34:59 OF US DECIDE, YOU KNOW WHAT, MY PROBLEM IS I JUST NEED TO 35:02 BE SURROUNDED BY SPIRITUAL THINGS all the 35:06 I WILL GO INTO FULL-TIME MINISTER. 35:10 OUR DESIRE TO GO INTO MINISTER IS REALLY JUST US SINOVATTING 35:16 INSTEAD OF GOING TO JESUS. TOO MANY TEAM ARE STEPPING 35:20 INTO MINISTER WHO ARE NOT CALLED. 35:28 THEY FEEL IF I'M SURROUNDED BY THE BIBLE, IF I'M SURROUNDED 35:32 BY EVANGELISM, I WILL I will be free. What you fail to recognize. Is that when you 35:37 decide and when I decide to do WHEN YOU AND I full-time ministry, you 35:41 FULL-TIME MINISTER, YOU ARE SIGNED UP ON THE FRONT LINES 35:44 OF THE GREAT CONTROVERSY. YOU PUT A TARGET ON YOUR BACK. 35:48 YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE TEMPTED BEFORE. 35:50 WAIT UNTIL YOU GO INTO FULL-TIME MINISTER. 35:53 BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THE REASON WHY WE PREFER TO 35:59 SINOVAT, INSTEAD OF GOING TO JESUS. 36:04 BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO FACE THE MUSIC. 36:06 WE WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WE COULD DO 36:09 BEFORE WE GO TO JESUS. THAT WE JUST just need to repent. We need 36:15 WE NEED TO WORK OURSELVES UP INTO AN EMOTIONAL FRENZY. 36:20 I'M SO SORRY. WE HAVE TO BE CRYING. 36:22 YOU KNOW WHAT, NO REPENTANCE IS SINCERE WITHOUT TEARS. 36:29 IN REALITY, WE ARE JUST SINOVATING. 36:33 AS ONE PREACHER PUT IT. TRUE CHRISTIANITY HELPS US 36:39 FACE THE MUSIC, EVEN WHEN WE DON'T LIKE meant. 36:43 AMEN. I MAY NOT LIKE THE RESULTS. 36:47 I MAY NOT LIKE THE REALITY. I MAY NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT 36:53 IT REMINDS US WE WILL OFTEN FIND OURSELVES. 36:59 WEEPING AT THE FEET OF JESUS. OUR MISTAKES AND OUR 37:08 SHORTCOMINGS. BUT WE ARE NOT TO BE 37:10 DISCOURAGED. CAN YOU SAY AMEN? 37:13 YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE. 37:16 NO NEED V. 37:19 NO NEED TO SEW APRONZ AND MANIFEST YOUR OWN 37:25 RIGHTEOUSNESS. I'LL GIVE MORE MONEY. 37:28 I'LL JOIN THIS MINISTRY. AS IF THAT WILL COVER UP YOUR 37:36 SIN. THE MOMENT ADAM AND EVE 37:38 DECIDED TO DO THIS IN GENESIS 3, VERSE 7, THEY BEGAN TO 37:43 CONFUSE THEIR COMFORT WITH THEIR SAFETY. 37:47 YOU SEE AFTER THEY SEWED FIG LEAVES AND COVERED THEMSELVES 37:52 WITH APRONS, THEY WERE NOT STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. 37:55 HAVE YOU EVR BEEN A PERSON WHO -- SOMETIMES YOU JUST 37:59 THINK WHATEVER YOU sometimes you just think you whatever you 38:01 I NEED TO PHYSICALLY MOVE AWAY FROM YOU. 38:03 YOU MIGHT GET SWALLOWED UP BY THE EARTH OR STRUCK BY 38:06 LIGHTNING BECAUSE OF THE CRAZINESS THAT JUST CAME OUT 38:09 OF YOUR MOUTH. ADAM AND EVE DIDN'T SEE A 38:13 LIGHTNING BOLT COMING DOWN, THE SKIES GETTING DARK AND 38:17 GRAY. THE THUNDER WAS ROLLING. 38:20 THE EARTH STARTED TREMBLING. NOPE. 38:23 THEIR SIN DIDN'T START MELTING OFF THEIR BONES. 38:26 THINGS DIDN'T bones. Things didn't start getting 38:27 DARK AND BLURRY. OH, I THINK WE'RE EXPERIENCING 38:31 THAT DEATH THING HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. 38:35 YOU SEE, BECAUSE THE SENTENCE OF AN EVIL WORK IS NOT 38:40 EXECUTED SPEEDILY, THEREFORE THE HEARTS OF THE SONS OF MAN 38:45 ARE SET do evil. 38:50 BECAUSE THE SEQUENCES AREN'T SWIFT, DEUTERONOMY, ALSO FOR A 38:57 TIME OUR SIN OVATION SEEMS TO BE WORKING. 39:02 WE'LL MEMORIZE MORE BIBLE VERSES. 39:05 I'M NOTE SAYING THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH 39:08 MEMORIZING. WE'LL SPENDS MORE TIME IN 39:10 PRAYER. I'M NOT SAYING THERE IS anything 39:12 ANYTHING WRONG WITH SPENDING MORE TIME IN PRAYER. 39:15 I'LL START READING THE ENTIRE BIBLE BEGINNING TO END. 39:18 NOT SAYING THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT. 39:20 GUESS WHAT. SALVATION COMES IN NO OTHER 39:24 NAME. YOU AND I CANNOT WORK 39:26 OURSELVES BACK INTO THE FAVOR OF GOD. 39:32 SO WHEN ADAM AND EVE REALIZED, WE HAVE THESE APRONS ON AND 39:36 THEY DECIDED, YOU KNOW WHAT, I'LL CONFUSE MY COMFORT WITH 39:39 MY SAFETY. THEY DIDN'T DECIDE THAT. 39:41 THEY JUST DID IT. BECAUSE EVERYTHING SEEMED TO 39:43 BE FINE IN THE GARDEN. ANIMALS, TREES. 39:47 YOU SEE, WE DO THE SAME THING, DON'T WE? 39:51 WE MIGHT BE COMFORTABLE WITH OUR BIBLE KNOWLEDGE, BUT WE'RE 39:54 NOT SAFE. YOU MIGHT BE COMFORTABLE WITH 39:58 YOUR CAREER. BUT YOU'RE NOT SAFE. 40:02 YOU MIGHT BE COMFORTABLE IN be 40:03 THAT RELATIONSHIP, BUT YOU'RE NOT SAFE. 40:07 YOU MIGHT BE COMFORTABLE WITH ALL OF YOUR METHODS AND MEANS 40:11 OF EVANGELISM, DOESN'T MEAN YOUR CHURCH IS SAFER. 40:14 SOME OF OUR CHURCHES of 40:16 GENERATION AWAY FROM CLOSING UP SHOP. 40:24 YOU SEE, THE ONLY SAFETY IS IN COMPLETE AND UTTER DEPENDENCE 40:30 UPON JESUS. THAT'S WHY THE SONG SAYS "ON 40:34 CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I WALK." what? 40:38 ALL OF THE GROUND IS WET. SINKING SAND. 40:41 IN CASE WE DIDN'T GET IT, THE SONG REPEATS IT it again. All of the ground. 40:47 It's sinking sand. ALL THE GROUND IS SINKING 40:50 SAND. ALL OF YOUR SIN OVATION. 40:53 ALL OF OUR RIGHTEOUS WORKS. I HATE CANVASSING. 41:02 I MATE ASKING FOR MONEY. BUT IF I THROW MYSELF IN THE 41:07 FIRE, I'M JUST SINOVATING INSTEAD OF GOING TO JESUS. 41:12 ADAM AND EVE BELIEVE THAT NOTHING HAS CHANGED. 41:19 THEY ARE COMING TO THE GARDEN WITH THEIR FIG LEAVE APRONZ. 41:24 LA, LA, LA. EVERYTHING IS GREAT. 41:27 UNTIL THEY HEARD THE they heard the voice of the Lord. God walking in the 41:29 Garden. THE LORD GOD WALKING IN THE 41:32 GARDEN. AS THEY HEARD THAT VOICE 41:34 WALKING IN THE GARDEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, NOTICE WITH ME IN Chap 41:37 GENESIS CHAPTER 3. THE BIBLE SAYS IN VERSE 9, THE 41:43 LORD CALLED TO ADAM AND SAID UNTO HIM, "WHERE ARE YOU?" 41:48 HE SAID I HEARD the Garden. 41:51 THE GARDEN. I WAS AFRAID BECAUSE I WAS 41:54 COVERED WITH AN APRON. IS THAT WHAT YOUR BIBLE SAYS? 41:58 WHAT DOES YOUR BIBLE SAY? I HID MYSELF AND I WAS AFRAID 42:02 BECAUSE I WAS -- WHAT? ADAM KNEW. 42:10 JUST LIKE YOU AND I KNOW DEEP IN OUR HEARTS. 42:14 MEMORIZING ALL OF THOSE VERSES DOESN'T CHANGE YOU. 42:20 GOING ON THIS CANVASSING BLITZ, DECIDING TO GO TO 42:27 MISSION TRIP TO SRI LANKA. DEEP IN OUR HEARTS WE KNOW THE 42:30 MOMENT WE ARE CONFRONTED WITH REAL LIFE, SOMEONE WHO 42:37 TRUSTING HOLY, SOMEONE WHO HAS COME TO THE REALIZATION, THE 42:42 ACCEPTANCE, THE SUBMISSION TO THE TRUTH. can 42:44 I CAN DO NOTHING TO CHANGE MY CONDITION. 42:50 THEN WE KNOW WE ARE NAKED. IT'S THE PRESENCE OF JESUS. 42:58 JUST HEARING HIS VOICE. ADAM SAID, I HIT MYSELF. 43:06 BECAUSE I WAS NAKED. fig leaves on. 43:08 I THOUGHT YOU HAD FIG LEERVES ON. 43:11 I THOUGHT YOU WERE SINOVATING. YOU SEE, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, 43:21 THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMPLACENCY AND CONSISTENCY. 43:29 THERE IS KIRCHES DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMPLACENCY AND CONSISTENCY. 43:35 CONSISTENCY TELLS US THAT NOTHING HAS CHANGED, REGARDING 43:41 THE DEVIL. AND HIS DESIRE TO BRING THE 43:43 MOST AMOUNT OF MISERY THAT HE CAN TO THIS WORLD. 43:48 NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN THE CATHOLIC AGENDA TO BRING 43:54 CHURCHES UNDER ITSELF AND ITS join hands with Spiritualism. Nothing has changed. 44:02 SPIRITUALISM. NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN GOD'S 44:04 LAW. HIS EXPECTATION AND STANDARD 44:07 IS PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS. ALWAYS HAS BEEN. 44:10 ALWAYS WILL BE. BUT NOTHING HAS ALSO CHANGED 44:14 IN THE GRACE THAT HE OFFERS TO US TO REACH HIM. 44:18 CAN YOU SAY AMEN? NOTHING HAS CHANGED. 44:23 IN GOD'S WORD AN word and its authority inside 44:25 INSIDE OF THE CHURCH. NOTHING HAS CHANGED REGARDING 44:30 THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH A THE REMNANT CHURCH OF 44:33 BIBLE PROPHECY. IT IS STILL THE IMPERFECT 44:38 CHURCH MILITANT, STRIVING TO PREPARE ITSELF FOR THE LATTER 44:43 RAINS TO BECOME THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT. 44:47 CAN YOU SAY AMEN? NOTHING HAS CHANGED. 44:52 IN THE VERY FACT THAT White. 44:55 ACCORDING TO SISTER RICE, HAS CUT US OUT FROM THE WORLD BY 44:59 HIS MIGHTY CLEAVER OF TRUTH. AND THAT MIGHTY CLEAVER OF 45:05 TRUTH IS THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD ANGELS' MESSAGE. 45:14 THAT'S CONSISTENCY. COMPLACENCY SAYS NOTHING HAS 45:21 CHANGED. AND OUR ABILITY TO REACH 45:23 ACROSS THE VARIOUS AISLES AND CONGREGATIONS, TO CONNECT AND 45:29 COLLABORATE WITH THOSE WHO PREFER A DIFFERENT WORSHIP 45:36 STYLE. WHO PREFER A DIFFERENT TYPE OF 45:38 MUSIC AND DIFFERENT TYPE OF PREACHER. 45:41 I WENT TO A CAMP MEETING WHERE I WAS PREACHING. 45:48 AND IT WAS THIS WHITE FAMILY. THEY SAID BROTHER SEBASTIAN, 45:55 WE HAVE BEEN OPERATIVESSED BY YOUR back in the day. 45:59 THEY SAID BACK IN THE DAY WE USED TO GO TO THE BLACK CAMP 46:04 MEETING TO HEAR GOOD PREACHING. 46:06 THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD ME. I SAID WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE 46:10 BLACK CAMP meeting? Can you run that by me? One more time. 46:12 CAN YOU RUN THAT BY ME ONE MORE TIME? 46:15 SHE SECOND YOU KNOW THIS IS HOW I DISCOVERED THAT THERE 46:18 WERE BLACK AND WHITE CONFERENCES. 46:23 I'M LISTENING TO THIS AND I'M THINKING TO MYSELF HOW HAS 46:26 NOTHING CHANGED? IT IS A CONSTANT REMINDER OF 46:33 OUR MEDIOCRITY as a church. 46:35 COMPLACENCY AS A CHURCH. DON'T TELL ME IT'S TOO 46:40 COMPLICATED. DON'T TELL ME IT'S TOO 46:43 DIFFICULT. YOU HAVE PASTORAL RETIREMENT, 46:45 YOU HAVE PENSIONS, WHO WILL LEAD. 46:48 HOW IS THIS GOING TO WORK? I REMEMBER SITTING DOWN WITH 46:53 MY SON WHO IS 8 YEARS OLD. AND QUOTING TO HIM THE 46:57 WRITINGS OF EVAN RIGHT. I SAID BRENNAN, WE DO WHAT IS 47:01 RIGHT BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT. AND WE LEAVE THE we leave the consequences with 47:05 thought. WITH GOD. 47:08 IF I MUST HOLD MY SON TO THAT STANDARD, I MUST HOLD MY 47:12 CHURCH TO THE SAME STANDARD. DON'T TELL ME ABOUT THE 47:17 CONSEQUENCES. THAT'S IN THE HANDS OF GOD. 47:18 YOU SEE, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THAT IS COMPLACENCY. 47:24 WE DON'T WANT TO TOUCH THE ISSUES OF DIFFERENT WORSHIP 47:27 STYLES. HOW DO WE COME TOGETHER AS A 47:29 CHURCH WHEN WE together as a church when we 47:31 TO THAT CHURCH. I DON'T LIKE THEIR MUSIC. 47:34 IT'S FOO LOUD. I DON'T CARE THAT CHURCH, 47:36 THEIR MUSIC IS VANILLA. I LIKE THAT MORE THAN HYMNS. 47:44 I DON'T LIKE TO GO TO go to that church there. Potluck is terrible. 47:46 CHURCH, THEIR POTLUCK IS TERRIBLE. 47:49 I DON'T LIKE TO GO TO THAT CHURCH BECAUSE THEY SERVE 47:52 CHICKEN AT THEIR CHURCH. WE KEEP IT 100. 47:57 WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CHURCH. 48:02 ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPEN IN OUR INSTITUTIONS, PEOPLE ARE in our institutions. People 48:05 are teaching evolution. TEACHING EVOLUTION. 48:09 I WAS PREACHING AT ONE OF OUR UNIVERSITY. 48:13 A YOUNG LADY FROM AFRICA, SHE CAME UP TO ME. 48:19 SHE SAID, PASTOR SEBASTIAN, I SAID, SISTER, I'M NOT A 48:25 PASTOR. SHE SAID THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO 48:27 CALL YOU. SURE. 48:28 HOW CAN I HELP YOU? THERE WERE 50 PEOPLE 48:31 SURROUNDING US IN THIS CONVERSATION. 48:35 SHE COULDN'T EVEN START HER SENTENCE BECAUSE SHE started to cry. 48:38 TO CRY. I SAID, SISTER, IT'S OKAY. 48:43 YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY. 48:48 SHE SAID, "WHERE I COME FROM IN AFRICA, MY FAMILY AND MINE 48:56 DAD WORK THEMSELVES TO DEATH TO SAVE MONEY TO SEND ME TO AN 49:05 ADVENTIST UNIVERSITY IN AMERICA. 49:08 HE LITERALLY GAVE HIS LIFE. I ARRIVED AT THIS UNIVERSITY, 49:13 ONLY TO BE CONFRONTED BY PROFESSORS TRYING TO who are trying to tell me that 49:18 really wasn't inspired. THAT IT WASN'T REALLY INSPIRED 49:25 INSPIRED. SHE SAYS I'M TRYING TO MAKE 49:26 SENSE OF THIS BECAUSE MY FAMILY HAS SPENT ALL OF THEIR send me to 49:34 ME TO THIS SCHOOL ONLY TO FIND MY FAITH IN THE BALANCE. 49:39 I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT I BELIEVE ANYMORE. 49:48 WE'VE GOTTEN SOFT IN CHURCH. BECAUSE NOTHING HAS CHANGED. 49:58 PRIDE AND ARROGANCE, RUDENESS IN THE CHURCH BOARD MEETINGS 50:02 GO UNREBUKED. YOU BLOW UP ON A CHURCH 50:07 MEMBER. YOU GET INTO A PHYSICAL 50:09 ALTERCATION FROM A CHURCH MEETING. 50:11 YOU SHOULD BE CENSORED. THIS IS COMPLACENCY. 50:25 YOU SEE NOTHING HAS CHANGED. BROTHERS AND SISTERS, 50:29 COMPLACENCY IS ONLY CHANGED BY ONE THING. 50:37 THAT IS FAITH PROVERBS. I WANT TO YOU TAKE YOUR 50:41 BIBLES. GO 1 PETER, CHAPTER 1. 50:45 17 PETER, CHAPTER 1. FIRST PETER, CHAPTER 1. 50:52 WE'LL BE BEGINNING verse 6. When we 50:57 WHEN WE TALK ABOUT COMING OUT OF COMPLACENCY, WE GOT TO 51:03 START HAVING FAITH PROBLEMS. CAN YOU SAY AMEN? 51:10 THEFIABLE SAYS, VERSE 6, I'M SURE YOU READ THIS TODAY IN 51:14 YOUR STUDY. WHEREIN YOU GREATLY REJOICE, 51:20 THOUGH NOW FOR A SEASON F NEED BE, YOU ARE IN SELFNESS 51:27 THROUGH MAN FOLLOWED TEMPTATION. 51:30 THAT THE TRIAL OF YOUR BEING MUCH MORE PRECIOUS THAN IF 51:39 GOLD THAT PERISHES, THOUGH IT BE TRIED WITH FIRE, MIGHT BE 51:45 FOUND UNTO PRAISE AND HONOR AND GLORY AT THE APPEARING OF 51:50 JESUS CHRIST WHO HAVE NOT SEEN YOU LESS. 51:58 PETER SAYS, YOUR FAITH, WHEN IT IS BEING TRIED, HE SAYS He says experience. Any 52:06 temptation. THAT EXPERIENCE AND 52:08 TEMPTATION, WHEN YOU ARE STRUGGLING AND FIGHTING THE 52:10 FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE, TO BE FREE FROM PORNOGRAPHY ADDICTION. 52:17 TO BE FREE FROM DRUGS. TO BE FREE FROM YOUR 52:22 INSECURITY. TO BE FREE FROM DEPRESSION AND 52:27 ANXIETY. TO BE FREE FROM 52:32 PEOPLE-PLEASING. WHEN OUR FAITH IS GOING 52:35 THROUGH THESE TRIALS, PETER SAYS IT IS NOT JUST PRECIOUS, 52:39 IT IS MUCH MORE PRECIOUS. IT IS SPECIAL. 52:47 IT IS RARE. IT IS A GEM. 52:51 IT IS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH. THIS EXPERIENCE, PETER SAYS, 52:58 MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD. AND PETER REMINDS US THAT 53:07 TRIALS DO NOT MAKE FAITH GENUINE. 53:10 NO 98th IS faith is genuine without them. 53:13 THEM. NO FAITH IS GENUINE WITHOUT 53:15 THEM. BECAUSE IN ORDER FOR TRUST TO 53:19 BE TRULY KNOWN, be truly known, it has to be tested. 53:23 TESTED. WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH 53:28 MONEY AND YOU PRAY AND YOUR MOTHER PRAISE AND YOUR FAMILY 53:33 PRAISE AND THE MONEY STILL DOESN'T COME. 53:36 WILL YOU STILL TRUST JESUS? WHEN YOU STRUGGLE AND KEEP 53:41 FOLLOWING AGAINST AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, DESPITE 53:46 YOUR, DESPITE YOUR ACCOUNTABILITY, DESPITE YOUR 53:50 WIFE'S SUPPORT. WILL trust him? 53:55 BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE JESUS, THE SPROB NOT THE POWER 54:00 OF HIS BLOOD TO DELIVER. AS WE ARE GOING THROUGH THIS 54:07 TRIAL OF FAITH THAT IS WHAT WILL BRING YOU OUT OF 54:14 COMPLACENCY. THAT'S WHAT WILL BRING ME OUT what's going 54:16 OF COMPLACENCY, IS WHEN WE START TURNING TO FAITH 54:22 PROBLEMS. PROBLEMS THAT YOU CAN'T 54:23 CONQUER BY YOUR OWN INTELLECT. BY YOUR CREATIVITY. 54:30 BY YOUR PERSISTENCE. BY YOUR WORK ETHICKEN YOUR 54:38 WILLINGNESS TO KEEP GOING EVEN WHEN YOU WANT TO QUIT. 54:41 EVEN BY YOUR OWN DISCIPLINE. THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF PROBLEMS 54:47 THAT CALL US OUT, WHICH IS WHY WHEN THE CHURCH WAS UNDER 54:54 INCORPORATION, AS IN THE BOOK OF FIRST a purer church. 54:58 CHALLENGE BECAUSE NOBODY WAS PRETENDING TO BE SOMEONE WOULD 55:02 WAS VIEWED AS A CRIMINAL. BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IT IS 55:07 TIME FOR US TO STOP for easy lives. 55:11 FOR EASY LIVES. IT IS TIME FOR US TO START TO 55:14 PRAY TO BE STRONGER MEN AND WOMEN. 55:17 IT IS TIME FOR US TO NOT PRAY THAT GOD ONLY GIVES US TASKS 55:22 THAT ARE EQUAL TO OUR ABILITY. BUT THAT GOD GIVES US ABILITY 55:27 EQUAL TO THE TASK HE IS CALLING US TO. 55:32 WHEN GYC USED TO START, WE WOULD SAY THERE EXISTS TODAY 55:36 AN ARMY OF YOUNG PEOPLE ON A MISSION FOR THE LORD. 55:42 TO PROCLAIM THE FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD ANGELS' MESSAGES AND 55:47 ALL THE WORLD IN THIS GENERATION. 55:51 RATHER THAN ASKING GOD TO CHANGE THE TASK. 55:53 WE SHOULD BE PRAYING THAT GOD GIVES US THE ABILITY. 56:03 HE SAYS If we pray this way. Then doing. 56:07 THEN DOING -- THE DOING OF THE WORK SHALL NOT BE A MIRACLE. 56:14 BUT WE SHALL BE A MIRACLE. EVERY DAY YOU SHALL WONDER AT 56:21 YOURSELF, AT THE RICHNESS OF LIGHT WHICH HAS COME TO YOU BY 56:24 THE GRACE OF GOD. BECAUSE OF Because of what God has 56:28 accomplished in your life. ACCOMPLISHED IN YOUR LIFE. 56:29 BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IT'S TIME TO START PRAYING THE 56:33 LARGEST PRAYER. THAT IS MY INVITATION. 56:36 WE NEED TO PRAY PRAYERS SO LARGE. 56:42 WE NEED TO PRAY THOSE TYPE OF PRAYERS WHERE WE NEVER EVEN 56:48 HESITATE TO THINK. I PRAY A PRAYER SO LARGE THAT 56:53 GOD, IN ANSWERING IT, WILL SAY "YOU KNOW I WISH YOU DIDN'T 56:59 PRAY FOR SOMETHING SO HUGE." SO HERE IS MY APPEAL. Are you? 57:13 WHEN ARE YOU COMPLETE? WHAT IS A PRAYER OF A SIN IN 57:20 YOUR LIFE, OF A TRIAL IN YOUR LIFE, OF A STRUGGLE IN YOUR 57:25 LIFE THAT IF GOD ANSWERED IT, YOU WOULDN'T You want an experience. A 57:29 miracle. MIRACLE. 57:31 YOU WOULD BE A MIRACLE. YOU WOULD BE LIKE LAZARUS. 57:37 YOU DON'T GOT TO SAY ANYTHING. THE VERY FACT YOU ARE ALIVE IS 57:40 A TEMPLE TO THE POWER OF JESUS. 57:42 ARE YOU HEARING ME? I DON'T ASK YOU going ask you to close your 57:52 HEAD OR CLOSE YOUR EYES. I'LL MAKE THIS APPEAL STRAIGHT 57:55 AWAY.

EVERYTHING, BECAUSE IN ORDER 01:01:38 TO BUY THIS FAITH, IT WILL TAKE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE. 01:01:52 IT'S GOING TO TAKE ALL. SO AS WE PRAY, HERE IS MY 01:01:59 CHALLENGE.
