PACIFIC TIME ON THIS CHANNEL OR 06:11 FACEBOOK, HOWEVER YOU'RE WATCHING. 06:19 AM BASIS DERS. REVELATION. 06:26 WE'VE TOUCHED ON THIS VERSE BRIEFLY, BUT I PROMMER PROMISED 06:30 WE WOULD GO DEEPER. IN REVELATION 7 IT TALKS ABOUT 06:35 THE 144,000. IT BEGINS BY SAYING AFTER THESE 06:38 THINGS I SAW FOUR ANGELS STANDING AT THE FOUR CORNERS OF 06:42 THE EARTH, HOLDING THE FOUR WINDS OF THE EARTH, THAT WOULD 06:45 BE NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST, TALKING ABOUT A GLOBAL EVENT. 06:50 THAT THE WIND SHOULD NOT BLOW UPON THE EARTH OR THE SEA OR ANY 06:54 TREE. STRIFE. 07:00 COMING FROM THE EAST. HAVING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING 07:03 GOD. EARTH OR THE SEA OR TREES. 07:07 DO NOT LET THOSE WINDS OF STRIFE GO. 07:12 ALL THE PENT-UP WINDS OF STRIFE ARE READY TO BLOW. 07:21 WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN? UNTIL WE SEALED THE SERVANTS OF 07:25 OUR GOD IN THEIR FOREHEADS. THIS IS SOMETHING INTERNAL. 07:33 I HEARD THE NUMBER OF THOSE WHO WERE SEALED 144,000 OF ALL THE 07:40 TRIBES OF THE CHILDREN OF OF CONFUSION ABOUT WHO ARE THE 07:46 144,000. READING ON 12,000 FROM THE 12 07:54 TRIBES AND LEAVES OUT THE TRIBES OF DAN AND EPHRAIM AND INCLUDES 07:58 JOSEPH AND IT'S A DIFFERENT LIST THAN YOU FIND IN THE BIBLE. 08:07 PEOPLE ARE WONDERING, DOES THIS MEAN IN THE LAST DAYS BEFORE 08:10 JESUS COMES BACK THAT THE LORD WILL RAISE UP 12,000 FROM THE 08:16 TRIBE OF EPHRAIM, NASHER, ZEBULUN, BUT FROM MANASSAS, AND 08:27 ARE THEY LITERAL ISRAELITES? BUT REMEMBER THAT THE NAMES IN 08:38 THE TESTAMENT ARE ALMOST ALWAYS SYMBOLIC. 08:45 SYMBOLIC MEANING IN NIECE NAMES. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NAMES OF 08:49 THE 144,000 IN THE ORDER THAT THEY'RE LISTED, WELL, WHAT DOES 08:53 THAT WORD MEAN IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE? 08:59 LEAH WERE HAVING THEIR BOYS AND THEY NAMED THEM, LEAH SAID I 09:03 WILL PRAISE THE LORD. THAT'S WHAT JUDAH MEANS. 09:06 RUBEN MEANS HE HAS LOOKED ON ME. THE WORD GAB GIVE GOOD FORTUNE. 09:17 MANASSEH MEANS MAKING ME TO FORGET. 09:21 AND THERE IS A REASON. SIMEON MEANS GOD HEARS ME. 09:26 LEVI MEANS ATTACHED TO ME. ISSACHAR PURCHASED ME. 09:32 ZEBULUN DWELLING AND JOSEPH GOD WILL ADD TO ME AND BENJAMIN, 09:37 GOD'S RIGHT HAND. REVELATION CHAPTER 7. 09:43 PUT THE DEFINITIONS OF THE NAMES IN ORDER AND IT TELLS THE STORY 09:46 OF THE PLAN OF SALVATION. THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS. 09:50 I WILL PRAISE THE LORD. FOR HE HAS LOOKED ON ME AND 09:53 GRANTED GOOD FORTUNE. I'M HAPPY BECAUSE MY GOD IS 09:57 MAKING ME TO FORGET. GOD HEARS ME AND IS JOINED ME 10:02 ATTACHED SAME WORD, HE HAS PURCHASED ME A DWELLING AND WILL 10:05 ADD TO ME THE SON OF HIS RIGHT HAND. 10:13 AND JESUS ASKING AND REDEEMING MAN IN THE NAMES. 10:16 WHO ARE THE 144,000? ARE THEY REAL PEOPLE? 10:21 YES. TIME, HE SENT OUT PEOPLE LIKE 10:28 THE WAY. HE HAD THE 12 APOSTLES THAT WERE 10:32 A SPECIAL GROUP CALLED TO PREPARE HIS PEOPLE FOR HIS FIRST 10:36 COMING. TO HEAVEN HE TOLD THE APOLLS AT 10:40 FIRST HE SAID DO NOT GO THE WAY OF THE GENTILES. 10:45 THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. THEN LATER THEY WENT ON TO THE 10:49 GENTILES. THEY ONLY PREACHED TO THE JEWS. 10:53 GOD USED 12 APOSTLES, FILLED THEM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DO 10:58 A SPECIAL WORK AS A RESULT OF THEIR MINISTRY. 11:02 A GREAT MULTIPLE ATTITUDE WAS FIRST COMING AND FORMER REIGN. 11:07 THE 144,000 ARE 12 TIMES 12,000 WHO ARE GETTING THE WORLD READY 11:14 FOR THE SECOND COMING. IT IS GOOD TO STUDY THESE 11:17 AMBASSADORS THAT ARE GETTING THE WORLD READY BECAUSE THAT'S THE 11:21 LIFE WE'RE GOING TO LIVE. LOOK AT THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT 11:24 WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE. REVELATION 7 MENTIONS THE 11:28 144,000 AND IN REVELATION 14. IT SAYS THEY'RE REDEEMED FROM 11:33 AMONG MEN. THEY'RE FIRST FRUITS. 11:39 THEY WERE WITHOUT DECEIT, WITHOUT GUILE. 11:45 NATHANIEL. THEY FOLLOW THE LAMB WHEREVER HE 11:50 GOES. 12 APOSTLES. 11:54 NOW THE 144,000 FOLLOW THE LAMB WHEREVER HE GOES. 11:58 IF YOU WANT TO FOLLOW THE LAMB IN HEAVEN, YOU MUST FIRST FOLLOW 12:04 HIM HERE. SOME OF THE PRACTICE THAT WILL 12:09 ABOUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST AND BE A 12:16 REAL, VIABLE CHRISTIAN. RELEASED ON THE WORLD UNTIL THE 12:20 SERVANTS OF GOD ARE SEALED. FIRST AND FOREMOST THAT SEAL OF 12:24 GOD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE BIBLE SAYS GRIEF NOT THE 12:28 HOLY SPIRIT WHERE YOU ARE SEALED FOR THE DAY OF REDEMPTION. 12:31 IT TALKS ABOUT THE SEAL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN EPHESIANS 1. 12:36 AND SO THERE ARE SEVERAL REFERENCES. 12:41 SAID THAT THAT SEAL OF THE BIBLE IS THAT INNER SEAL. 12:44 THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS EVIDENT IN THE LIFE. 12:49 ISAIAH 8, LINE UP THE TESTIMONY, SEAL THE LAW AMONG MY DISCIPLES. 12:53 THE LAW OF GOD MEANS SEALED IN THE HEART IS THE NEW COVENANT. 12:58 WHAT'S THE NEW COVENANT? I'LL WRITE MY LAW IN THEIR 13:02 HEARTS. IS ONE COMMAND HASN'T. 13:17 IT HAS TO DO WITH TIME. SO WE SHOW OUR LOVE FOR GOD IN 13:27 OUR TIME. GOD SAID THAT HIS SABBATH IS A 13:31 SIGN THAT HE IS OUR REDEEMER. HE CAN RECREATE US BECAUSE HE 13:35 CREATED THE WORLD IN SIX DAYS AND WE DIDN'T EVOLVE. 13:38 WE'RE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. MUCH OF THE CHRISTIAN WORLD HAS 13:42 FORGOTTEN THIS. 144,000 WILL BE HOLY, THEY'LL BE 13:47 PROCLAIMING THE TRUTH TO THE WORLD. 13:53 MEISH ME ISSUE A LITTLE DISCLAIMER. 13:57 IF YOU HAVE NOT ACCEPTED JESUS, YOU'LL WANT TO CHANGE THE 14:03 CHANNEL RIGHT NOW AND WATCH SOMETHING ELSE. 14:08 THIS IS MEAT, YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF CHOKING. 14:16 PLEASE JESUS. I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW TO 14:19 PROCEED. SURRENDERED YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST. 14:23 YOU DON'T HAVE A HUNGER TO KNOW WHAT PLEASES HIM. 14:27 THIS MAY BE A MESSAGE THAT WILL ANOINT YOU OR YOU'LL 14:30 MISUNDERSTAND IT. IT IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST. 14:34 WE'RE GOING TO GO OUT ON THE STREET AND ASK OUR FELLOW 14:38 CITIZENS, SOME OF THE SAME PEOPLE WE ASKED A 23,478 OF 14:41 QUESTIONS AND FIND OUT WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY DOES GOD EXPECT US? 14:45 DOES HE EXPECT CHRISTMAS TO CHRISTIANS TO BE DIFFERENT? 15:02 >> YOU CAN KNOW THEY ARE CHRISTIAN IF THEY MIRROR THE 15:05 CHRISTIAN CHURCH. >> ABOUT BY THE WAY THEY BEHAVE. 15:20 HOW THEY CARRY THEMSELVES. >> GOD DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU 15:25 WEAR. MODESTLY. 15:39 >> I >> LYING TATTOOS ON THE BODY. CHEATING, LET'S SEE, JUST IN 15:50 GENERAL DOING BAD THINGS IN LIFE. 15:56 COMMIT ADULTERY, MURDER. THE SEVEN SINS. 16:05 >> I THINK SHE WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 16:09 HOW DO YOU KNOW CHRISTIANS? BECAUSE THEY'RE WEARING 16:12 CHRISTIAN JEWELRY OR HANGING AROUND WITH CHRISTIAN GROUPS. 16:16 IT'S INTERESTING THE ANSWERS YOU GET. 16:19 IT'S SOMETHING ON THE INSIDE. NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT 16:25 HOW A CHRISTIAN LISTENS A LIFE THAT IS CONSECRATED TO GOD, AND 16:28 WILL THEIR LIFE BE DIFFERENT? OUR STORY THAT WE'RE GOING TO IS 16:31 THE STORY OF JOHN THE BAPTIST. IN THE SAME WAY THAT JOHN THE 16:36 BAPTIST WAS CALLED TO PREPARE FOR THE WORLD'S FIRST COMING, HE 16:39 SAID THIS IS THE LAMB OF GOD. GOD HAS A GROUP OF PEOPLE IN THE 16:42 LAST DAYS THAT WILL PREPARE THE WORLD FOR THE SECOND COMING. 16:46 DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN JESUS WAS TALKING ABOUT JOHN THE BAPTIST. 16:51 HE SAID JOHN THE BAPTIST IS THE ONE WHO CAME WITH THE SPIRIT OF 16:56 ELIJAH. ELIJAH. 17:02 THE LAST PROPHECY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. 17:10 THE PROPHET BEFORE THE GREAT LORD. 17:15 GOSPEL GO IN THAT PENTECOSTAL POWER TO PREPARE THE WORLD FOR 17:21 JESUS' COMING. CHRIST BUT THERE WILL BE A GREAT 17:25 REVIVAL OF PEOPLE WHO WILL LIVE OUT THE CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES IN 17:28 THEIR LIVES BEFORE JESUS COMES BACK. 17:32 OF THE PRACTICAL THINGS CONNECTED WITH BEING A 17:35 CHRISTIAN. BAPTIST AND HIS LIFE, AND I WANT 17:39 YOU TO NOTICE A COUPLE OF THINGS. 17:45 FIRST QUESTION, WHAT WAS ONE SECRET OF JOHN'S SPIRIT-FILLED 17:51 LIFE? BAPTIZE YOU WITH WATER. 17:57 BUT WHEN HE COMES, IT SAYS THAT HE WILL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE 18:06 HOLY SPIRIT AND WITH FIRE. SOMETHING ELSE HE KNOWS ABOUT, 18:09 JOHN. WILL DECREASE. 18:13 HE WAS A SPIRIT-FILLED PERSON. JOHN BELIEVES THAT HIS MISSION 18:19 WAS TO LIFT UP CHRIST, NOT HIMSELF. 18:28 JOHN WANTED TO PROMOTE JESUS. HE SAID HE MUST INCREASE AND I 18:32 MUST DECREASE. PROVERB FOR US TO LIVE BY. 18:36 IF YOU REPEAT THAT IN YOUR PRAYER EVERY DAY IT WOULD DO US 18:41 SOME GOOD. HE MUST INCREASE, I MUST 18:44 DECREASE. LETTER IN SIN IS: I. 18:56 DID JOHN THE BAPTIST READ THE SCRIPTURES? 19:01 WAS HE A BIBLE-READING PROPHET? IN JOHN 1:23, IT SAYS WHO ARE 19:09 YOU? MOSES RESURRECTED? 19:15 CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY OF THE LORD AS 19:20 SAID THE PROPHET ISAIAH. THE MESSAGE OF JOHN THE BAPTIST 19:24 WAS GET ON THE STRAIGHT GATE. IT WAS A MESSAGE SAYING PREPARE 19:28 FOR THE LORD. SAID WHEN HE STARTED PREACHING? 19:32 FIRST WORD, REPENT. WHAT WAS THE FIRST THING JESUS 19:36 SAID WHEN HE STARTED PREACHING? HE BEGAN PREACHING, REPENT. 19:40 FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND. 19:46 REPENT. REPENTENS FROM WHAT? 19:51 SIN. LIVES. 19:59 FRUITS. ARE WE SURRENDERING OURSELVES OR 20:05 ARE WE BECOMING ENCUMBERED WITH THE CARES OF THIS LIFE AND THE 20:08 CARES OF THE WORLD. JOHN WAS A BIBLE READER. 20:13 THAT'S HOW HE COULD QUOTE THIS SCRIPTURE TO SCRIBES AND 20:17 PHARISEES WHEN THEY CAME. THE BIBLE TELLS US, 20:21 BLESSED--WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? HAPPY. 20:26 THE NEW COVENANT IS TALKING ABOUT A KNEW HEART AND PURITY OF 20:30 HEART. HEART? 20:35 ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART THE MOUTH WILL SPEAK. 20:39 SO YOU GOT TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU ALLOW IN YOUR HEART. 20:44 IT'S LIKE A COMPUTER. WHAT GOES IN IS GOING TO COME 20:49 OUT. YOU'VE HEARD THE EXPRESSION, 20:55 GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT. CHRISTIANS NEED TO BE CAREFUL 20:59 ABOUT WHAT THEY ALLOW IN THEIR MINDS AND THEIR HEARTS. 21:04 THER IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE, PRAY. 21:12 THE SANCTUARY THERE WERE THREE ARTICLES OF FURNITURE IN THE 21:16 HOLY PLACE. THERE WAS LIGHT, WITNESS, BREAD, 21:20 WORD OF GOD, AND SANDAL, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE. 21:27 ANDENS SENSE, THE PRAYER. YOU HAVE THESE THREE DISCIPLINES 21:31 IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE. JOHN POINTED TO JESUS, THIS IS 21:35 THE LAMB OF GOD THAT TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD. 21:44 WE ALL THE TO BE WILLING TO POINT PEOPLE TO CHRIST. 21:46 ONE WAY TO DO THAT IS BY OUR LIVES. 21:50 THAT WE SEE IN THE LIGHT OF JOHN. 21:55 LIFE OF CONSECRATION TO GOD? THAT WAS THE STRAIGHT PREACHING 22:00 PREACHING--OR SHOULD I SAY WAS THE PEACHING OF JOHN POPULAR 22:05 AMONG THE POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS? 22:11 THIS THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. 22:16 REJECTED THE COUNSEL OF GOD AGAINST THEMSELVES NOT BEING 22:19 BAPTIZED OF HIM. YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID OF THE 22:24 SCRIBES AND PHARISEES WHEN THEY HE SAID YOU BRUTAL VIPERS. 22:32 WHO HAS WARNED YOU TO FLEE FROM THE WRATH TO COME? 22:38 REPENT OF YOUR SINS. PREPARE FOR THE LORD'S FIRST 22:43 COMING AND I THINK CHRISTIANS OUGHT TO BE BOLD. 22:46 YOU KNOW WHAT PAUL SAID? WE SHOULD PRAY FOR BOLDINGNESS. 22:51 IN ACT 4, THEY KNELT DOWN AND PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD GIVE THEM 22:55 BOLDNESS BECAUSE THEY WERE BEING INTIMIDATED BY THEIR RELIGIOUS 22:59 LEADER AND BY THE STATE NOT TO TALK ABOUT JESUS. 23:02 THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE IN THE WORLD. 23:06 CHRISTIANS NEED TO HAVE THAT SENSE OF URGENCY. 23:09 SO FEW CHRISTIANS--RELIGION IS A PRIVATE MATTER. 23:16 IT'S DIVISIVE, DON'T TALK ABOUT RELIGION. 23:24 WORLD NOT TO SHOW OUR FAITH. JOHN WAS NOT AFRAID. 23:28 HE UP SET THE STATE AND HE UPSET THE KING. 23:32 HE GOT IN SO MUCH HOT WATER HE WAS IMPRISONED AND FINALLY 23:37 EXECUTED. NIGHT. 23:41 BUT HEROD BEING APPROVED BY HIM FOR ALL RIGHTFULS THAT HE HAD --FOR ALL 23:48 THE EVILS HE HAD DONE. WE FOUND OUT THAT JOHN HAD A 23:57 LIFE OF HONESTY, SIMPLICITY, CONSECRATION TO GOD. 24:05 THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT JOHN CAME IN THE SPIRIT AND POWER OF 24:10 ELIJAH. PASSIONS AS US. 24:14 THEY WERE HUMAN. SUPER HUMAN. 24:21 THEY WERE HUMANS JUST LIKE US. TO BE A CHRISTIAN YOU HAVE TO 24:24 START THINKING DIFFERENTLY. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WE NEED TO 24:29 HAVE A RENEWING OF THE MIND THAT TAKES PLACE. 24:33 HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? PHILIPPIANS 4:8, WHATEVER THINGS 24:40 ARE TRUE, HONEST, JUST, WHATEVER THINGS ARE PURE, WHATEVER THINGS 24:44 ARE LOVELY, WHATEVER THINGS ARE OF GOOD REPORT. 24:48 IF THERE BE ANY VIRTUE, PRAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS. 24:52 PUT SIMPLY, PAUL SAID BE POSITIVE. 24:58 YOUR COMMUNICATIONS. ALWAYS GRAVITATING DOWNWARD. 25:03 THEY GET NEGATIVE AND TALK ABOUT OTHERS AND THEIR PROBLEMS AND 25:08 YOU START COMPLAINING ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT, THAT'S REALLY EASY 25:12 TO GET NEGATIVE BUT WE HAVE TO CATCH OURSELVES. 25:17 CHRISTIANS ARE TO BE HAPPY PEOPLE, POSITIVE PEOPLE. 25:21 THE GOSPEL IS GOOD NEWS. WE OUGHT TO BE A HAPPY PEOPLE. 25:24 AND THEN YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU LOOK AT. 25:26 I WILL SET NO WICKED THING BEFORE MY EYES KING DAVID SAID 25:31 BECAUSE YOU KNOW 90% OF WHAT COMES INTO YOUR BRAIN COMES FLU 25:35 THE MEDIUM OF YOUR VISION. AND BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN DAVID 25:41 WROTE THIS, PEOPLE DID NOT HAVE AS MUCH OPTIONS AS WE HAVE TODAY 25:46 TODAY. SCREENS, I SEE ONE, TWO, THREE, 25:51 FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT SCREENS. 25:57 PEOPLE HAVE SCREENS ON THEIR PHONES, THEY GOT SCREENS ON 26:01 THEIR COMPUTER, THEY GOT SCREENS ON THEIR iPADS. 26:05 THEY GOT SCREENS ON THEIR TELEVISION. 26:09 YOU KNOW WHAT, A COMMERCIAL POPPED UP ON THE GAS PUMP OF ALL 26:15 THINGS. THE GAS PUMP IS TALKING TO ME 26:20 AND THERE IS THE SCREEN TRYING TO SELL ME SOMETHING. 26:22 WE'RE SURROUNDED WITH INFORMATION THAT IS BOMBARDING 26:28 OUR SENSES. WE CAN'T CONTROL ALL OF IT 26:30 BECAUSE LIKE THE GAS PUMP WE'RE ASSAULTED FROM EVERY SIDE. 26:37 CONTROL, AND WE CHOOSE TO LOOK AT AND LISTEN TO THINGS THAT ARE 26:40 NOT HELPING US TO BE PURE IN HEART. 26:47 LIVE A GODLY LIFE CONTROL WHAT THEY FEED THEIR MINDS. 26:54 MAKE CONSCIOUS DECISIONS TO READ SPIRITUAL THINGS EVERY DAY I 26:57 WAKE UP FIRST THING I DO IS GO INTO THE OFFICE AFTER 27:02 MICROWAVING SOME WATER. MY BIBLE. 27:06 ACTUALLY, I LISTEN TO SOMEONE READING IT WHILE I READ IT SO I 27:11 GET MORE OUT OF IT THAT WAY. I DRIVE IN MY CAR. 27:14 I LISTEN TO SERMONS I'M A PASTOR BUT I HAVE THE SAME 27:21 TEMPERATUREDATIONS THAT EVERY ELSE HAS. 27:25 HEALTH I MUST SURROUND MYSELF WITH SPIRITUAL INFORMATION. 27:28 NOW WE'RE LUCKY IN THIS COUNTRY. I'VE BEEN TO SOME COUNTRIES, 27:33 THEY HAVE NO CHRISTIAN TV OR RADIO. 27:37 3ABN WHO ARE BROADCASTING, AND IF ANY OF OUR FRIENDS WHO ARE 27:41 WATCHING GOT A TESTIMONY TODAY FROM SOMEBODY WHO SAID SOMEBODY 27:44 WAS WATCHING 3ABN AND IT WOULD LEAD THEM TO THE LORD. 27:49 THERE ARE SOME GOOD CHRISTIAN RADIO PROGRAMS, NOW WITH YOUR 27:54 PHONE AND INTERNET YOU CAN PLAY THINGS ON YOUR PHONE WHILE 27:56 YOU'RE DRIVING. BUT FEED YOUR SOUL GOOD THINGS. 27:59 THERE IS SO MUCH BAD INFORMATION AND BAD TELEVISION, AND IT DOES 28:03 AFFECT OUR CULTURE. IT AFFECTS US MORALLY. 28:06 YOU KNOW, THEY DID SOME RESEARCH AT THE KAISER FOUNDATION YEARS 28:10 AGO. WATCHING MR. ROGERS, SOME 28:16 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS. AND OTHERS WERE WATCHING VIOLENT 28:19 CARTOONS. TOGETHER. 28:25 VIOLENT CARTOONS WERE DOING A WHOLE LOT MORE KICKING FIGHTING 28:29 AND YELLING. WHAT THEY HAD BEEN WATCHING 28:32 AFFECTED THEIR BEHAVIOR. AND TEENAGERS BECAME ADDICTED TO 28:38 THEM, GRAND THEFT AUTO AND POLICE AND THEIR PRINCIPLE 28:45 ENTERTAINMENT WAS WATCHING PROGRAMS WHERE PEOPLE KILLED 28:50 POLICE. COLUMBINE, THEY WERE LISTENING 28:59 TO SATANIC MUSIC. WE HAVE TO CONTROL WHAT WE 29:06 WATCH. I THERE ARE A LOT OF CHRISTIANS 29:10 WHO SAY, WELL YEAH, I WATCH TV PROGRAMS WHERE THEY USE THE 29:16 LORD'S NAME IN VAIN AND THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF ADULTERY 29:19 HAPPENING, AND A LITTLE BIT OF MURDER HAPPENING EVEN IN A 29:23 COWBOY MOVIE. YOU KNOW, IT'S ALMOST LIKE 29:29 YOU'RE SINNING VICARIOUSLY BY WATCHING SOMEONE ELSE DO THESE 29:33 THINGS. NOT ONLY JUDGE THOSE WHO DO 29:37 THOSE, BUT THOSE WHO HAVE PLEASURE IN THOSE THAT DO IT. 29:42 SO I THINK WE MIGHT NEED TO DO SOME SOUL SEARCHING SAYING LORD, 29:47 IS THIS HELPING ME BECOME LIKE YOU? 29:53 GOD'S SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE AND A SIMPLE DIET. 29:59 CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES. IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE WHAT YOU 30:02 EAT, YOUR HEALTH, AND EVEN YOUR SPIRITUAL HEALTH. 30:07 JOHN'S DIET? YES. 30:12 STRONG DRINK. HOLY SPIRIT. 30:18 AND I THINK IT'S IN EPHESIANS IT TELLS US BE NOT DRUNK WITH WINE 30:24 WHICH IS DISSIPATION BUT RATHER BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT. 30:28 HE DRIVES DOWN THE STREET HERE IN SACRAMENTO YOU'LL SEE SIGNS 30:32 THAT SAY BEER, WINE, AND SPIRITS. 30:39 WE ALL KNOW WHAT KIND OF SPIRIT DO YOU GET FROM THE LIQUOR 30:44 STORE? WRONG SPIRIT. 30:51 HE'LL DRINK NEITHER WINE NOR STRONG DRINK THAT HE WILL HE 30:57 WILL BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. 31:01 WE EAT AND DRINK? BEHOLD YOU'RE CONCEIVE AND BEAR 31:05 A SON--THIS IS WHAT THE ANGEL TOLD THE PARENTS OF SAMSON. 31:14 DRINK NEAR WINE OR STRONG DRINK OR EAT ANYTHING UNCLEAN THING. 31:20 NOW THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS TO CONSIDER ABOUT SAMPSON. 31:25 THE ANGEL WENT TO HIS PARENTS. THE ANGEL FIRST APPEARED TO HER, 31:35 AND THEN SHE TOLD HER HUSBAND. HE THE ANGEL THEN CAME AND TOLD 31:45 THEM BOTH. HE'S GOING TO BE SPIRIT-FILLED 31:50 BUT HE'LL HAVE SUPERNATURAL STRENGTH. 31:55 DO NOT DRINK THE WRONG THING, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF EVEN IN 32:00 THE PRENATAL STATE AND HELP FACILITATE HIS BEING, THIS 32:07 SPIRIT-FILLED POWERHOUSE THAT SAMPSON. 32:14 HIM SLAYING 1,000 MEN SINGLE-HANDEDLY. 32:17 THE CONNECTION GOD MADE ABOUT NO ALCOHOL. 32:24 DEFECTS AND CEREBRAL PALSY IS CAUSED BY ALCOHOL BY THE 32:29 PARENTS. HOLY SPIRIT WHICH IS IN YOU, 32:33 WHICH YOU HAVE FROM GOD. WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BRING ANY 32:37 UNCLEAN THING INTO OUR BODY. THERE ARE FOODS AND MEATS THAT 32:42 ARE CLEAN AND UNCLEAN. IN THE OLD TESTAMENT SANCTUARY 32:46 THE GREATEST INSULT YOU COULD OFFER GOD, IF YOU WANT TO INSULT 32:54 THE JEWS. SANCTUARY AND BUTCHERED IT. 33:14 I KNOW THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T KNOW THIS, BUT GOD EASE 33:18 PEOPLE BEFORE JESUS COMES. IS CHRIST COMING TO A CHURCH 33:22 THAT HAS FAILED TO FULFILL HIS WILL? 33:26 EVEN IN THE DARK AGES, WE'VE DRIFTED FAR FROM THE IDEAL. 33:31 WHEN HE COMES BACK IS HE GOING TO HAVE A PEOPLE WHO ARE CLOSER 33:34 TO THE IDEAL? NEVER GOING TO FIND PEOPLE TO 33:40 FOLLOW YOU. JESUS SAID JUST WATCH. 33:43 IN THE LAST DAYS HE'S GOING TO POUR OUT HIS HOLY SPIRIT ON 33:46 PEOPLE AND THEY'LL BE WILLING TO DENY THEMSELVES AND SEEK FIRST 33:50 GOD'S KINGDOM. OUR BODIES ARE THE TEMPLES OF 33:53 THE HOLY SPIRIT. PEOPLE IN THE LAST DAYS. 33:57 WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT WORLDLY BEHAVIOR IN GENERAL? 34:01 WHOEVER THEREFORE WILL BE A FRIEND OF THE WORLD IS THE ENEMY 34:04 OF GOD. AND AGAIN, COME OUT FROM AMONG 34:08 THEM AND BE SEPARATE, SAYS THE LORD. 34:12 AND TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING. THIS IS NOT JUST THE OLD 34:16 TESTAMENT, THIS IS THE NEW TESTAMENT. 34:21 I WILL SERVE YOU. WE SERVE THE HOLY GOD. 34:24 THE AMAZING THING ABOUT A CHRISTIAN GOD WILL TAKE AN 34:28 UNCONVERTED PERSON IN A DEFILED WORLD. 34:33 SPIRIT AND PUT THEM BACK IN THAT WORLD, AND LET THEM EMPOWER THEM 34:37 TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE IN AN UNHOLY WORLD. 34:41 SOMEONE SAID A CHRISTIAN IS LIKE A BOAT IN THE WATER. 34:45 A BOAT LOOKS NORMAL IN THE WATER. 34:50 BOAT, IT GOES DOWN. GOD WANTS HIS PEOPLE TO BE IN 34:53 THE WORLD. OUT OF THE WORLD. 34:57 I WANT YOU IN THE WORLD, BUT I DON'T WANT YOU OF THE WORLD. 35:00 WE HAVE TO BE IN THE WORLD LIKE SALT AS A PRESERVING INFLUENCE. 35:05 WE'RE TO ADD THE SALT AND LIGHT TO THE WORLD THAT IS PERISHING. 35:11 GOD SAID TO ABRAHAM. I'M GOING TO DESTROY SODOM. 35:16 HE SAID LORD, IF WE CAN FIND 50 RIGHTEOUS IN THE CITY, WOULD YOU 35:21 SPARE IT? RIGHTEOUS, I'LL SPARE IT. 35:31 ABRAHAM HAD A KEPT THINKING, WHAT ABOUT 30, THE LORD SAID 35:36 SURE. 25, 10? 35:40 RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE I WILL SPARE THAT CITY FOR TEN RIGHTEOUS 35:42 PEOPLE. RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE COULD HAVE 35:48 TURNED THAT CITY AROUND. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS JUST LOT 35:50 AND THE CONVERSION OF HIS DO DAUGHTERS WAS DUBIOUS. 35:56 HIS WIFE LOOKED BACK. THAT RIGHTEOUS MAN LOOKING AT 36:00 THE DEEDS OF THE WICKED. INFLUENCE. 36:05 COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM. BE SEPARATE. 36:09 I REMEMBER READING IN HISTORY ABOUT AN INTERESTING CHARACTER 36:12 IN CERTIFICATE I SYRIA. HIS NAME WAS SIMON. 36:16 HE WAS EXPOSED TO CHRISTIANITY WHEN HE WAS 16 YEARS OLD, AND HE 36:21 SAW HOW WICKED THE WORLD WAS, AND HE LONGED FOR HOLINESS. 36:24 BACK THEN THEY HAD MONKS WHO WOULD TRY TO LIVE HOLY. 36:30 HE DID DON'T THAT, AND HE WENT OFF TO THE DESERT, I WANT TO GET 36:35 CLOSER TO GOD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT POSSESSED HIM 36:37 BUT HE STARTED CLIMBING ON THESE RUINED PILLARS. 36:44 HE CLIMBED UP THERE AND SAID I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET CLOSE TO 36:48 GOD. WOULD BRING HIM FOOD. 36:52 AND HE WOULD TEACH THEM FROM HIS PILLAR, AND HE WOULD NOT COME 36:56 DOWN. YEARS OF HIS LIFE HE LIVED ON A 37:03 PILLAR 60 FEET HIGH. SUMMER, WINTER, 24 HOURS A DAY, . 37:13 HE WOULD STAY THERE ON HIS PILLAR DIDN'T WANT TO BE DEFILED 37:19 BY THE WORLD. GOD IS NOT CALLING ON HIS PEOPLE 37:23 TO BE LIVING ON A PILLAR. GOD WANTS US TO INTEGRATE HIS 37:26 SOCIETY BUT HE DOESN'T WANT SOCIETY IN US. 37:29 1 JOHN 2:15 LOVE NOT THE WORLD NEITHER THE THINGS THAT ARE IN 37:34 THE WORLD. LOVE OF THE FATHER IS NOT IN 37:37 HIM. LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF 37:42 THE EYES, THE PRIDE OF LIFE IS NOT OF THE FOUR,ING IT IS OF THE 37:46 WORLD. LUST THEREOF. 37:53 BUT I WHO DOES THE WILL OF GOD WILL LIVE FOREVER. 37:57 GOD WANTS PEOPLE NOT ONLY HEARING HIS WILL BUT DOING HIS 38:00 WILL. DOWN AS THE SUN WENT DOWN WE 38:06 WERE HAVING OUR DEVOTIONAL. HOW MANY PEOPLE HONOR GOD WITH 38:12 THEIR LIPS BUT THEIR HEARTS ARE FAR AWAY. 38:15 OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKS. 38:20 THE LOVE OF THE FATHER. ROMANS 12:2, I BESEECH YOU BY 38:27 THE MERCY OF GOD, THIS IS VERSE ONE. 38:32 BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF WHAT? 38:35 PURE IN HEART, YOUR MIND. AS MAN THINKS IN HIS HEART, SO 38:39 IS HE. NEW INPUT AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. 38:45 PRAY. WHO YOU HANG OUT WITH. 38:50 IT'S A LAW OF LIFE. I REMEMBER YEARS AGO KAREN AND I 38:55 HAD DINNER AFTER CHURCH ONE DAY WITH HIS FAMILY IN NORTHERN 38:59 CALIFORNIA. AND HE LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE 39:04 ELVIS PRESLEY. I WAS INTRIGUED. 39:08 WE WERE TALKING AFTER DINNER AND MY MOTHER USED TO WRITE SONGS 39:12 FOR ELVIS. DIED--HE SAID FIRST OF ALL WHEN 39:17 I WAS A YOUNG MAN I WENT TO A FEW ELVIS PRESLEY CONCERTS AND I 39:23 SAW THE GIRLS SCREAMING AND SWOONING AND THROWING THEIR 39:29 CLOTHES. LIKE ELVIS PRESLEY. 39:32 HE WATCHED ALL OF THE ELVIS MOVIES AND HE WASN'T MUCH OF OF 39:37 AN ACTOR. HE WALLPAPERED HIS ROOM WITH 39:42 ELVIS PRESLEY POSEURS. HE GOT A RECORD PLAYER AND LIVED 39:47 TO ELVIS SING ALL DAY LONG. HE GOT A GUITAR AND LEARNED HOW 39:51 TO PLAY IT AND DYED HIS HAIR BLACK AND HE GOT TO THE IMAGE HE 39:57 LOOKED JUST LIKE HIM. HE KNEW ALL OF THE 40:01 IDIOSYNCRASIES. WHEN ELVIS DIED HE BECAME AMONG 40:06 THE FIRST WHO DID ELVIS PRESLEY IMPERSONATIONS. 40:13 50-YEAR-OLD ELVIS PRESLEY. HE JUST CAME BACK FROM JAPAN 40:17 WHERE THEY PAID HIM $10,000 FOR A CONCERT. 40:23 NOW. FOREVER. 40:27 HE SAID, I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM. I BASICALLY PICKED SOMEONE WHO 40:34 DIED FROM DRUGS AS MY ROLE MODEL, AND NOW HE'S JUST EMPTY. 40:40 HE SHOWED UP AT CHURCH THAT DAY. HE HAD BEEN RAISED A CHRISTIAN. 40:46 THROUGH STUDYING ELVIS PRESLEY, HE BECAME LIKE ELVIS PRESLEY. 40:54 IF WE WOULD SURROUND OURSELVES WITH CHRIST AND THINK ABOUT HIS 40:58 TEACHINGS, WE WOULD TURN THE DO NOT BE CONFORMED OF THE WORLD 41:03 BUT BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND SO THAT 41:06 YOU MIGHT PROVE, SO YOU THAT YOU MIGHT TEST. 41:13 PERFECT WILL OF GOD. WHAT IS THE PERFECT WILL. 41:17 HOW CAN I SERVE YOU? HOW CAN I CHANGE MY LIFE FOR TO 41:21 BE MORE CHRIST LIKE? DOES THE BIBLE ENCOURAGE 41:25 SIMPLICITY OF ATTIRE? OR DRESS? 41:30 BAPTIST. PUT HIT SIMPLE CLOTHING--I'M 41:34 NOT SAYING THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WEAR A LEATHER BELT AND CAMEL 41:38 SKIN. THE BAPTIST WAS A FLAMBOYANT 41:44 EVANGELIST. WITH GOLD OR PEARLS OR COSTLY 41:53 ARRAY. LET IT NOT BE THE OUTWARD OF 41:59 ADORNING. BRAIDING YOUR HAIR. 42:06 DO ELABORATE WEAVES WITH JEWELS IN THEIR HAIR AND TRY TO OUTDO 42:14 EACH OTHER IN FASHION. NOT WITH THE PLAITING OF THE 42:20 HAIR OR THE GOLD AND APPAREL BUT THE HIDDEN MAN OF HEARTS. 42:25 EVEN ADORNMENTS OF A MEEK AND QUIET SPIRIT WHICH IN THE FIGHT 42:29 OF GOD IS A GREAT PRICE. I'LL TELL YOU, I THINK THAT--I 42:34 NOTICED ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WHEN WE INTERVIEWED SOMEONE ON 42:38 THE STREET. HOW DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE IS A 42:42 CHRISTIAN? SO DID JESUS TELL US TO WEAR THE 42:47 CROSS OR BEAR THE CROSS. IT'S EASE YOUR TO WEAR THE CROSS 42:50 THAN BEAR THE CROSS. I PERSONALLY THINK THAT 42:54 CHRISTIAN JEWELRY IS SOMETHING OF AN OXYMORON BECAUSE I CAN'T 42:59 PICTURE CHRIST WEARING IT. I THINK JESUS CALLS US FOR 43:03 SIMPLICITY AND MODESTY. WHAT I'M SHARING WITH YOU NOW IS 43:07 NOT SOME UNIQUE TEACHING OF THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST. 43:12 THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ALL PROTESTANTS USED TO PREACH. 43:20 THEY EMPHASIZED THE WOMEN MORE. THEY OUGHT TO BE MODEST IN THEIR THEIR 43:27 APPAREL. THAT WOULD MEAN IN DRESS IN A 43:30 WAY IN A YOU'RE NOT DELIBERATELY ACCENTUATING YOUR SEXUALITY AND 43:36 CAUSING MEN TO STUMBLE. I KNOW IT WORKS BOTH WAYS. 43:39 BUT JESUS SAID IF A MAN LOOKS ON A WOMAN TO LUST AFTER HER IN HIS 43:43 HEART HE'S COMMITTING ADULTERY IN HIS HEART. 43:47 IF THAT MAN IS SINNING BY LOOKING AND THINKING 43:50 INAPPROPRIATE THINGS BECAUSE THE YOUNG LADY IS MAYBE ACCENTUATING 43:55 TOO MUCH OF HER SEXUALITY, THEN IT IS A SIN FOR HER TO 44:01 DELIBERATELY DRESS IN A WAY THAT WOULD MAKE MEN STUMBLE. 44:04 IF YOU INTERVIEW MEN ALONE AND THEY'RE BEING HONEST, THEY WILL 44:08 SAY IT IS A REAL STRUGGLE IN OUR SOCIETY TO MAINTAIN PURITY OF 44:12 MIND WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE WAY THAT PEOPLE DRESS AND WHAT'S 44:15 GOING ON, ON TELEVISION. JESUS IS CLEAR THAT CHRISTIANS 44:20 SHOULD BE MODEST. AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I DON'T 44:24 WANT TO SAY TOO MUCH ABOUT IT, BUT I DON'T THINK HE WANTS US TO 44:29 BE POKING HOLES IN OUR BOYD AND LET ME GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO 44:33 THINK ABOUT. A REVELATION STUDY. 44:35 THERE ARE TWO WOMEN IN REVELATION. 44:38 REVELATION 12, WOMEN CLOTHED WITH WHITE, SUN, MOON AND STARS. 44:43 SHE'S CHURCH. GOOD CHURCH OR BAD CHURCH? 44:45 SHE'S THE CHURCH OF GOD. WE KNOW BECAUSE THE DEVIL WANTS 44:49 TO DESTROY HER. YOU HAVE A WOMAN IN REVELATION 44:52 17. SHE'S CLOTHED WITH COSTLY 44:58 APPAREL. SHE'S THE HARLOT. 45:05 DRESSED? FINE CHRISTIAN. 45:12 FOR US. SO THE WOMAN IN REVELATION 17 45:19 REPRESENT? DO YOU KNOW NEITHER OF THOSE 45:25 WOMEN EVER SPEAK. HOW DO WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE? 45:28 BY WHAT THEY WEAR. AND LIKE I SAID IT'S TRUE OF MEN 45:33 ALSO. TIME BY WHAT WE WEAR. 45:38 THE BIBLE SAID LET IT NOT BE GOLD, PEARLS AND COSTLY ARRAY. 45:42 I REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO A LOT OF EVANGELISTS WERE IN THE 45:48 HEADLINES BECAUSE OF SCANDAL BECAUSE OF MAD MORALITY IN THEIR 45:52 LIVES AND IT SEEMED LIKE ONE MONTH AFTER ANOTHER FOR A FEW 45:57 MONTHS A FEW MELTDOWN OF THE TELEVANGELICALISTS. 46:06 IS SENDING THEM THEIR MONEY. THEY SAID, THEY'RE DRIVING 46:09 AROUND IN BENTLEYS AND FLYING PRIVATE JETS AND WEARING THEY 46:16 WERE ALL FLAMBOYANT. AND SOMEBODY WROTE A SONG AND 46:20 SAID WOULD JESUS WRITE A ROLEX? IT BECAME A VERY POPULAR SONG. 46:26 THEY WERE MOCKING CHRISTIANITY BECAUSE OF THE OBVIOUS HYPOCRISY 46:31 OF THESE TELEVANGELICALIST CHRISTIANS. 46:34 BUT THEY SURE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THEY WERE FOLLOWING JESUS AROUND 46:39 AND LIVING A SIMPLE LIFE. I'M NOT SAYING THAT CHRISTIANS 46:44 SHOULD WEAR RAGS. INTERESTING STORY BEHIND THIS 46:47 SUIT. YOU. 46:52 BUY. I HAD ONE SERMON AND I DIDN'T 46:56 REALIZE THEY HAD SHIPPED MY LUGGAGE ONTO CALIFORNIA. 47:01 WHAT YOU WORE TRAVELING. I WORE A BASEBALL CAP, JEANS. 47:07 THOSE LONG OVERSEAS FLIGHTS. THEY SAID WE'LL TAKE YOU TO THE 47:11 MALL AND YOU HAVE TO BUY A SUIT. THEY TOOK ME TO THE MOST 47:15 EXPENSIVE MALL IN THE WORLD. IF I HAVE TO BUY A SUIT I WOULD 47:22 BE TO BE ABLE TO WEAR IT AGAIN. THIS ENTIRE GET UP, THE TIE, THE 47:28 SHIRT, THE SHOES, --THAT'S WAY TOO MUCH INFORMATION. 47:36 DRESS. DRESS. 47:43 RAGS. CHRISTIANS SHOULD BUY GOOD 47:46 CLOTHING. DISTRACTED BY WHAT YOU WEAR SO 47:51 THEY DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE. SOME PEOPLE ARE INSECURE ABOUT 47:55 THEIR APPEARANCE. THEY TRY TO INCREASE THEIR 48:00 PERCEIVED WORST BY THE CLOTHING THEY WEAR, THE JEWELRY THEY 48:04 WEAR. IT'S WHAT MAKES US ON THE 48:10 INSIDE. LEVITICUS 19:28, IT'S A GOOD 48:13 THING THAT WE HAVE A SMALL AUDIENCE HERE. 48:18 ME. TATTOO MARKS ON YOU. 48:25 IS IT JUST ME OR IS THERE AN EPIDEMIC OF TATTOOING GOING ON 48:30 IN OUR WORLD. I'M SURE THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE 48:32 WITH TATTOOS. I KNOW THERE ARE. 48:35 THERE ARE GOING TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN HEAVEN WITH TATTOOS. 48:38 IF YOU MADE A MISTAKE ASK GOD TO FORGIVE YOU. 48:43 BUT YOUR BODY IS A TEMPLE. THIS TEMPLE THAT GOD HAS CREATED 48:49 AND PEOPLE ARE SPRAYING GRAFFITI ON IT. 48:53 OR YOU TAKE A JACKHAMMER TO THAT TEMPLE AND START POKING HOLES IN 48:58 THE WALLS. TATTOOING BUT PIERCING. 49:05 THIS WOULD BE TROUBLING TO THINK THERE IS A BABY LIKE THIS, ENEMY 49:11 LOOK AT THIS AND SAY THAT IS WRONG. 49:15 YOU'RE MUTILATING A BABY. YOU ARE BORN AGAIN AS A 49:19 CHRISTIAN. DON'T MUTILATE YOURSELF, YOU'RE 49:21 A CHILD OF GOD. PARENTS WHO ARE HAPPY WHEN THEIR 49:26 KIDS CAME HOME AND SAID DO YOU WANT TO SEE OUR NEW TATTOO OR 49:30 THE PIERCING WE GOT? THE PROPHETS OF PALE BALE BALE. 49:44 LOOK LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO JESUS? 49:50 ARE AND JESUS WILL FORGIVE YOU. SOMETIMES IT'S NOT PRACTICAL. 49:58 I'VE DEFILED MY BODY. YOU COME AND YOU'LL HAVE A BORN 50:03 AGAIN EXPERIENCE. THAT. 50:12 LEAVING NO STONE UNTURNED. I'LL HIT IT HARD AND MOVE ON. 50:18 NOTICE I WAITED FOR THE SECOND TO THE LAST MEETING SO I COULD 50:22 RUN FOR COVER. WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC WILL A 50:26 CHRISTIAN ENJOY. HE PUTS A NEW SONG IN OUR MOUTH 50:30 AND PRAYED UNTO OUR GOD. MUSIC IS A DIFFICULT SUBJECT 50:35 BECAUSE IT SOUNDS SO SUBJECTIVE. BUT THERE ARE PRINCIPLES OF WHAT 50:39 MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE MUSIC AND WHAT ISN'T. 50:44 AWAY FROM THE LINE AS YOU CAN. I REMEMBER AS A YOUNG PERSON I 50:48 WOULD GO TO ROCK CONCERTS. THE NOISE AND BEDLAM AND RIOTS, 50:53 AND DRUGS YOU NEVER TURN ON THE NEWS AND HAVE THEM SAY WELL, 50:57 THERE WAS A RIOT AND THEY HAD A STAMPEDE AT A CONCERT FOR 51:01 BEETHOVEN. YOU WOULD NEVER HEAR THEM SAY 51:05 THAT. SILENCE BROKE OUT AT THE MOZART 51:12 CONCERT. I'M NOT SAYING THAT IT IS 51:17 BEETHOVEN OR MOZART. 1 SAMUEL 16:23, IT CAME TO PASS 51:23 WHEN THE EVIL SPIRIT FROM GOD WAS UPON SAUL. 51:28 DAVID TOOK A HEART AND PLAYED WITH HIS HAND. 51:32 SAÚL WAS REFRESHED AND THE EVIL SPIRIT DEPARTED. 51:35 THE RIGHT KIND OF MUSIC THAT CAN DRIVE AN EVIL SPIRIT AWAY? 51:45 THERE ARE A LOT OF CHRISTIANS OUT THERE LISTENING TO WHAT I 51:50 WOULD SAÚL THE WRONG TYPE OF MUSIC. 51:53 THERE ARE CERTAIN TYPES OF MUSIC. 52:01 NOT BE HELPING ME SPIRITUALLY. THERE HAVE GOOD SONGS WHO ARE 52:08 NOT RESEARCH. THE. 52:17 THERE IS AN APPROPRIATE TIME AND PLACE FOR ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF 52:21 MUSIC. APEEP. 52:28 DIFFERENT KIND OF MUSIC DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. 52:34 THE OCCASIONS SOMETIMES THEY SING WHAT IS A ROMANCE SONG BUT 52:41 THEY'RE SINGING IT TO JESUS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TAKE THE 52:45 WORD JESUS OUT AND SING ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND. 52:50 SONG AND THEY'RE DOING IT IN CHURCH. 53:01 THE VOICE OF THOSE SHOUTING OVER VICTORY. 53:07 IS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THEY WERE WORSHIPING THE GOLDEN CALF. 53:11 YOU KNOW WHAT THEY MADE THE GOLDEN CALF OUT OF? 53:15 THEIR JEWELRY. HERE'S DANCING. 53:26 KING DAVID DANCED BEFORE THE RECORD. 53:32 I LED THE LADIES OUT IN A VICTORY DANCE. 53:39 THEY CAME OUT WHEN BAM FOR JEWELRY. 53:51 I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD THE PROPHECY OF JESUS COMING AGAIN. 53:54 I COULD NOT KEEP SPEAL. >> DAVID, DANCE FOR. 54:03 ALREADY AS HEY DANCE. THERE IS AN APPROPRIATE 54:07 CELEBRATION AT THE MEN ACTUALLY DANCED WITH THE. 54:13 THEY DO THE ACTUAL WITH WELCOME A LOT OF DANCING GOING ON IN THE 54:22 WORLD TODAY IS VERY SEXUALLY SUGGESTIVE AND IT'S GYRATING 54:26 PARTS OF THE YOU ANATOMY WHICH SHOULD NOT BE ACCENTUATING ACCENTUATE 54:39 YOURSELF. TO DO, SAY "WHAT WOULD JEST DO. 54:52 >> NOW PEOPLE ARE SCANTLY CLAD AND INTOXICATED. 55:02 TEACHING US TO DENY HIM UNGODLINESS. 55:07 AND WORLDLY LUST. SHE HAVE WE SHOULD LIVE 55:14 SOBERLYISH RIGHTEOUSLY, GOD IS CALLING US TO OIL LIVING, 55:18 FRIENDS. >> THE CHRISTIAN "C" I TOLD YOU 55:25 WE'RE GOING TO OF IT IT FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS. 55:31 WHILE SOME COVET YOU HAD AFTER. THEY'VE SPEARS; IT SURPRISES ME 55:38 TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE PRETTY MUCH. 55:45 YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO NEVADA' MORE. 55:50 AROUND. SHELL INTO GAMBLING AND THEY 55:54 LOST EVERYTHING. IT WAS AN NUMBER THEIR HEALTH, 55:59 THEIR RETIREMENT, FROM. SHOULD A CHRISTIAN SUPPORT 56:05 ANYTHING THAT WILL PEOPLE START GAMBLE ON THEIR PHONES AN THEIR 56:17 COMPUTERS AND THEY LOSE FORTUNES DOING THAT. 56:20 HOW DO WE GET RICH? AS I COMMANDED YOU AM AM HE THAT 56:31 MAKES HASTE TO BE RICH SHALL NOT BE. 56:40 YOU'RE NOT INVESTING IN LABOR OR INTELLIGENCE--WE ACTUALLY. 56:47 EXAMINE NOW HE'S BEING CONVICTED, AND NOW FESS' GOING 56:53 WORK FROM WHAT SHOULD BE THE AIM OF GOD'S PEOPLE TODAY? 57:00 WHAT'S OUR PURPOSE IN LIFE. THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDS: AND 57:09 DO THOSE NAMES THAT ARE PALM A LITTLE LEGALISTIC BECAUSE I'M 57:16 TALK ABOUT SPECIFICS. WHEN INCIDENTAL ROAD AM SHE --WHEN HE WAS ON THE ROAD HE 57:44 MET A WOMAN WHO HAD BEEN MARRIED FIVE TIMES AND LIVING WITH 57:49 ANOTHER. HUE DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO REPENT 58:01 OF IF THE PROPHETS ARE NOT SAYING THE SPECIFICS. 58:13 GOD WANTS US TO AVOID WORLDLINESS. 58:20 SHOULD KEEP HIS COMMANDMENT AND THINKS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT 58:25 GRIEVOUS. I DELAYED TO YOU YOUR WILL. 58:28 YOUR LAW IS IN MY HEART. THE ANGELS WOULD GATHER TOGETHER 58:33 THE ELECT AND TAKE AWAY AND THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE 58:36 DESTROYED. TO BE A BURDEN OR A DELIGHT? 58:42 IT SAYS HIS LAW IS IN OUR HEARTS. 58:47 WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN CALLING? SUCH A HIGH CALLING? 58:50 WHY IS THE CHRISTIAN LIFE SUCH A HIGH CALLING? 58:54 ANSWER? GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD. 59:00 A HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PEOPLE THAT YOU SHOULD CALL FOR THE 59:06 PRAISES. HAS CALLED. 59:14 GODLINESS AND HOLINESS. I HAVE A FEW VERSES HERE. 59:17 I THOUGHT I OUGHT TO READ TO YOU REALLY QUICK. 59:22 1 THESSALONIANS 3:13, SO HE MIGHT ESTABLISH YOUR LEADERS 59:26 BLAMELESS AND HOLINESS WITH THE COMING OF THE FATHER. 59:31 EPHESIANS 4:24, THAT YOU PUT ON THE NEW MAN WHICH WAS CREATED IN 59:37 TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS. 1 THESSALONIANS 4:7-8 FOR GOD 59:41 DID NOT CALL US TO UNCLEANNESS BUT HOLINESS. 59:44 HE WHO REJECTS THIS DOES NOT REJECT MAN BUT GOD, WHO HAS 59:49 GIVEN US HIS HOLY SPIRIT. AND HEBREWS 12:14, PURSUE PEACE. 59:54 SOMETHING TO BE PURSUED WITH ALL PEOPLE AND PURSUE WHAT? 59:57 PURSUE HOLINESS WITHOUT WHICH NO ONE WILL SEE THE LORD. 01:00:01 SO THERE IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE SOUGHT AFTER. 01:00:05 I REMEMBER HEARING A STORY YEARS AGO ABOUT THIS LITTLE BACHELOR 01:00:10 WHO LIVED BY HIMSELF, IN A FRUMPY HOME. 01:00:14 AND MEET SOME OF HIS OLD BUDDIES AT THE VFW FOR LUNCH. 01:00:18 THEN AFTER LUNCH HE WOULD WAK HOME. 01:00:22 OF AN ANTIQUE STORE ALONG THE WAY HE SAW THIS BEAUTIFUL VASE. 01:00:25 AND IT JUST STRUCK HIM. HE THOUGHT IT WAS SO STRIKING 01:00:28 AND BEAUTIFUL. IRREDECEMBER SENT. 01:00:32 HE WAS STANDING THERE LOOKING AT IT. 01:00:35 LIGHTS ON IT, AND HE THOUGHT, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. 01:00:40 HE COULD SPOTTING IS BEAUTIFUL. HE WOULD GO HOME, ON THE WAY TO 01:00:43 LUNCH HE WOULD STOP AND LOOK AT IT. 01:00:48 HE PAUSED TO STARE AT IT. IT WAS A SMALL TOWN AND THE 01:00:53 PROPRIETY KNEW HIM. LOOKING AT IT, BUY IT AND TAKE 01:00:58 IT HOME. HE SAID HOW MUCH? 01:01:02 AND HE TOLD HIM. WELL, I CAN DO IT. 01:01:05 HE BOUGHT THE VASE, LOOKED AROUND HIS LIVING ROOM, SET IT 01:01:08 ON THE MANTLE ABOVE THE FIREPLACE. 01:01:13 LOOKED AT IT. HE THOUGHT, POWER, THIS IS 01:01:16 BEAUTIFUL BUT I HAD NO IDEA HOW BAD THE PAINT WAS LOOKING BACK 01:01:19 THERE. AND HE PAINTED THE WALL. 01:01:25 HE PUT IT BACK UP AND SAID THAT LOOKS BETTER. 01:01:28 THEN HE SAID, WOW, THE CURTAINS ARE LOOKING PRETTY KINGDOMY, TOO 01:01:32 NOW THAT I PAINTED THE WALLS. I HAVEN'T CHANGED THE CURTAINS 01:01:37 IN 40 YEARS. THEY ARE COVERED IN DUST. 01:01:39 HE HAD A LADY NEIGHBOR HELP HIM PICK OUT SOME CURTAINS. 01:01:44 HE PUT THE NEW OCCUR TANS CURTAINS UP IN THE HOUSE AND HE SAT IN HIS CHAIR TO 01:01:52 LOOK AUTO THE VASE, AND SPRINGS WERE COMING OUT OF THE CHAIR. 01:01:55 HE THOUGHT, I OUGHT TO HAVE THIS REUPHOLSTERED. 01:02:02 HE WANTED TO SAVE IT. HE PUT IN NEW CARPET AND THEN HE 01:02:07 WALKED OUT AND SAW THE FENCE FALLING DOWN. 01:02:11 HOW I WAS LETTING ALL OF THIS GO TO PIECES. 01:02:15 THE WHOLE HOUSE WAS RENOVATED. FRED, WHAT HAPPENED? 01:02:18 HE SAID I PUT A BEAUTIFUL VASE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOUSE, AND 01:02:22 IT CHANGED EVERYTHING. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU BRING CHRIST 01:02:26 INTO YOUR HEART, THE PURITY OF CHRIST IN YOUR HEART LITTLE BY 01:02:29 LITTLE WILL STAND IN CONDEMNATION OF WHAT SIN IS 01:02:33 THERE. IT'S LIKE YOU'VE BEEN IN THE 01:02:38 TURNS ON THE LIGHT AND IT HURTS AT FIRST? 01:02:42 DON'T BE DISCOURAGED. THIS IS HEAVY, I GOT A LONG WAY 01:02:46 TO GO. INVITE JESUS IN YOUR HEART AND 01:02:53 HE'LL BEGIN SANCTIFYING YOU. IT'S A PROCESS OF A LIFETIME. 01:02:56 AS YOU TAKE A STEP CLOSER TO THE LIGHT YOU MIGHT DISCOVER THE 01:03:01 STAINS YOU HAD ON YOUR CLOTHES THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT. 01:03:04 BUT DON'T STOP. YOU KEEP WALKING TOWARDS JESUS 01:03:09 AND FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS AND YOU'LL BECOME MORE AND MORE LIKE 01:03:12 HIM. MIGHT HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE. 01:03:17 AND THE LORD WILL SHOW YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO BEGIN IN YOUR LIFE. 01:03:22 TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO REDECORATE, HAVE A MAKEOVER AND 01:03:25 START LOOKING LIKE AND ACTING LIKE AND LIVING LIKE A REAL 01:03:29 QUESTION. BEING HIS AMBASSADOR. 01:03:32 FATHER IN HEAVEN, DEAR LORD WE COME TO YOU IN JESUS' NAME AND 01:03:36 WE PRAY THAT YOU'LL GIVE US THE HOLY SPIRIT. 01:03:41 THROUGH CHRIST ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. 01:03:45 FREE AND I DISCUSS TONIGHT A LOT OF AREAS WHERE PEOPLE ARE JUST 01:03:49 IN BONDAGE TO THE WORLD, TO THE DEVIL. 01:03:54 VICTORY AND HELP THEM MAKE THE CHANGES THEY NEED TO BE REAL 01:03:59 CHRISTIANS. WITH REVIVAL. 01:04:02 HELP US NOT BE AFRAID WITH THE SUBJECT OF HOLY LIVING. 01:04:06 WE'LL MAKE OUR MINDS UP, TOO. LAYING ASIDE EVERY SIN IN A WAY 01:04:10 THAT DOES SO. AND TO RUN THAT RACE WITH 01:04:14 ENDURANCE. FAITH. 01:04:20 BLESSED NAME, AMEN. GOD BLESS YOU, FRIENDS. 01:04:25 DON'T GO AWAY. ANSWER SOME OF YOUR BIBLE 01:04:29 QUESTIONS IN JUST A MOMENT. [MUSIC] 01:05:53 [MUSIC] >> RAISE UP A CHILD THE WAY HE 01:06:02 SHOULD GO. EVEN WHEN HE'S OLD HE WILL NOT 01:06:07 DEPART FROM IT. 01:06:54 BIBLE QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS WILL BE BUT WE WELCOME 01:06:59 FOLKS TO SEND IN THEIR QUESTIONS ON THIS TOPIC THAT WE SPOKE 01:07:03 ABOUT TODAY. CHRISTIAN STANDARDS OR IF YOU 01:07:07 HAVE ANOTHER BIBLE-RELATED QUESTION WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE 01:07:10 IT. THAT'S THE TIME CONNECTED WITH 01:07:17 REVELATION NOW. US TO REMIND OUR FRIENDS THAT WE 01:07:21 DO THIS ONCE A WEEK. WE HAVE A RADIO PROGRAM CALLED 01:07:25 BIBLE ANSWERS LIVE. BUT THAT'S EVERY SUNDAY EVENING 01:07:30 WE TAKE A WHOLE OUR TO TAKE PEOPLE'S BIBLE QUESTION ON THE 01:07:36 AIR. FACEBOOK AND PEOPLE CALLING IN 01:07:40 WITH THEIR BIBLE QUESTIONS.

ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT 01:08:24 IS TEACHING MORALS AND VALUES THAT ARE VERY DIFFERENT. 01:08:27 YOU CAN LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE LAST 150 YEARS. 01:08:33 THE ENTERTAINMENT HAS SORT OF MADE THE MORAL VALUES THE 01:08:38 CULTURE CONTINUE TO GO DOWN. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE VALUES OF 01:08:41 THE WORLD IS TO BE BELOW THE CHURCH. 01:08:45 HAS GONE DOWN. THE CHURCH HAS ALWAYS BEEN A 01:08:50 LITTLE BETTER THAN THE WORLD. BUT I THINK A LOT OF THAT HAS 01:08:59 COME FROM CHRISTIANS HAVING WATCHING WHAT THE MEDIA PUTS 01:09:07 OUT. DVD. 01:09:14 CAREFUL THROUGH CONSTANT BOMBARDMENT. 01:09:18 WATCHING PROGRAMS THAT IS KILLING, LYING COMMITTING 01:09:25 ADULTERY. BLUSH DON'T MAKE US BLUSH ANY 01:09:28 MORE. >> OKAY. 01:09:34 IT SAYS STANDARDS CULTURAL SHOULD MAKE CHANGE WITH THE 01:09:39 TIMES. CHANGE WITH THE TIMES. 01:09:43 STYLES CHANGE. SAID THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE THE 01:09:47 FIRST TO ADOPT A NEW STYLE OR THE LAST. 01:09:53 VIOLATING SOME BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE OF MORALITY. 01:09:57 THERE ARE CULTURAL THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT. 01:10:04 WE TRAVEL, AND SOME COUNTRIES WE TAKE OFF OUR SHOES. 01:10:06 WE WENT TO CHURCH IN INDIA WHERE THERE WERE 106,000 PEOPLE COMING 01:10:10 TO CHURCH. SO WE TOOK OFF OUR SHOES. 01:10:15 THERE ARE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT HAVE CHANGED THROUGH HISTORY 01:10:18 THAT ARE NOT MORAL ISSUES. I THINK CHRISTIANS SHOULD FREELY 01:10:24 ADOPT CURL TREASURES IF THEY'RE NOT VIOLATING. 01:10:30 >> WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO TEMPT GOD? 01:10:35 TEMPTING GOD? IF HE WOULD JUMP OFF THE 01:10:40 PINNACLE OF THE TEMPLE. WILL SAVE YOU. 01:10:45 JESUS SAID THOU SHALT NOT TEMPT THE LORD. 01:10:54 THE TEST. WELL, IF YOU'RE REALLY GOD I'M 01:10:57 GOING TO--I'M GOING TO TRY TO COMMIT SUICIDE AND SEE IF YOU 01:11:02 SAVE ME. DIFFERENT SCENARIOS THAT A 01:11:07 PERSON COULD MAKE UP. YOU DON'T EVER WANT TO PUSH GOD 01:11:09 TO THE LIMIT. GET INTO TROUBLE AND DISASTER TO 01:11:12 GET YOU OUT AGAIN. SOMETIMES WE TEMPT THE LORD 01:11:17 THIS SO MANY TIMES. I'M GOING TO DO IT AGAIN AND ASK 01:11:20 HIM TO FORGIVE ME. IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE TESTING 01:11:30 WE'RE PLAYING RUSSIAN RUE LEASE. >> THIS PERSON IS WRITING FROM 01:11:34 THE MIDDLE EAST. CAN MUSLIMS GET TO HEAVEN? 01:11:37 THEY DON'T BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST AS THE SON OF GOD AND THAT HE 01:11:41 DIED ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS, BUT CAN THEY STILL BE SAVED? 01:11:45 >> WELL, THERE ARE--THERE WAS WHERE PETER TELLS US ANYBODY IS 01:11:54 SAVED WHO IS SAVED BY JESUS. NOBODY IS SAVED BY MOHAMMED. 01:12:00 OR BUDDHA OR ANY OTHER PERSON. THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE IS 01:12:04 JESUS. FROM OTHER CULTURES AND OTHER 01:12:10 BACKGROUNDS THAT WILL BE IN THE KINGDOM BECAUSE THEY LIVED UP TO 01:12:12 THE LIGHT THEY HAD. THEY SOUGHT AFTER GOD AND THEY 01:12:15 LIVED IN A TIME OF DARKNESS AND GOD WINKED AT IT. 01:12:20 YOU GET THE STORY OF NAAMAN AND THE LEPER. 01:12:27 WHERE WE'RE SURROUNDED BY IDOLS. AND THE KING LEANS ON ME. 01:12:35 AND ISAIAH, HE SAID GO IN PEACE. HE RECOGNIZED I'M GOING TO BE 01:12:41 SURROUNDED BY THIS CULTURE. BUT I'M BELIEVING IN THE TRUE 01:12:44 GOD NOW. I THINK FOR FOR ANYBODY TO BE 01:12:47 SAVED YOU NEED TO TURN TO THE TRUTH, TURN TO THE LIGHT. 01:12:50 CHRIST SAID IF YOU DID NOT KNOW--IF YOU HAD NO KNOWLEDGE, 01:12:55 THEN YOU HAD NO SIN. IF A PERSON IS TOTALLY IGNORANT. 01:12:58 THAT'S WHY A BECAME BEFORE THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY, THEY'RE 01:13:05 INNOCENT. TRUTH. 01:13:09 TRUTH, I THINK GOD WILL BE SURPRISE US AND SAVE SOME OF 01:13:12 THOSE PEOPLE. IT'S INTERESTING, MISSIONARIES 01:13:14 HAVE GONE INTO FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND SOMETIMES THEY'LL MEET A 01:13:20 PERSON WHO HAS THE SPIRIT OF GOD BUT NEVER KNEW ANYTHING OF 01:13:23 JESUS. PEOPLE IN HEAVEN BUT NO ONE IS 01:13:28 SAVED BY THE VIRTUE OF MOHAMMED. >> WILL GOD OR WHEN WILL GOD 01:13:33 SALE HIS PEOPLE? --SEAL HIS PEOPLE. 01:13:40 NEEDS TO BE SEALED WITH THE HOLY OF GOD AND MARKING OF THE BEAST 01:13:47 THAT HAPPENS IN THE LAST DAYS OF WHEN WE ARE GOING TO BE BROUGHT 01:13:53 TO THE FOREFRONT. AND IT WILL BE MADE, WHICH SIDE 01:13:55 ARE YOU ON? IMAGE OF THE BEAST OR ARE YOU 01:14:19 EARN NEEDS THE SEAL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 01:14:24 HAPPENED YET. CHAPTER 14 WHO SPEAKS ABOUT A 01:14:31 YOUNG MAN WHO FLED AWAY AT THE TIME OF CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION. 01:14:39 DO WE KNOW WHO THIS PERSON IS? >> THE KNOW, THE BIBLE SCHOLARS 01:14:43 ARE CERTAIN THAT IT IS MARK. YOUNG JOHN MARK, THE ONE WHO 01:14:49 PETER DICTATED PROBABLY THE GOSPEL OF MARK IS LARGELY THE 01:14:52 GOSPEL OF PETER. NONE OF THE OTHER GOSPELS 01:14:56 MENTION THIS YOUNG MAN WHO WAS LINGERING OUTSIDE OF THE GARDEN 01:15:01 EVER GETHSEMANE. HE MAY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO 01:15:04 PETER IN SOME WAY. WHEN CHRIST WAS ARRESTED HE 01:15:07 FOLLOWED FROM A DISTANCE. HE HAD JUST HAD HIS BED CLOTHES 01:15:10 WRAPPED AROUND HIM. HAPPENING. 01:15:17 HE SHOOK FREE AND FREE AND RAN. THEY THINK IT WAS JOHN MARK 01:15:21 BECAUSE HE WOULD BE THE ONE WHO WOULD HAVE INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF 01:15:25 THAT. >> RIGHT. 01:15:35 ALONG WITH WE VERY STRONG, WAS SAMPSON A GIANT. 01:15:52 HONOR OF MY LOCKS I WOULD BE AS WEAK AS OTHER MEN. 01:15:55 I'M SURE HE WAS A FINE PHYSICAL SPECIMEN BUT IT WAS NOT THAT 01:15:59 THAT GAVE HIM HIS STRENGTH. IT WAS THE SPIRIT OF GOD. 01:16:01 IT SAYS WHEN THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD CAME UPON HIM, HE KILLED 01:16:06 THE PHILISTINES, HE KILLED THE LINE. 01:16:09 UPON HIM, HE PUSHED DOWN THE TEMPLE. 01:16:17 20 FEET TALL OR ANYTHING. >> THIS IS ANOTHER QUESTION. 01:16:20 IS IT POSSIBLE TO FORGIVE AND FORGET DEEP OFFENSES THAT 01:16:25 SOMEONE HAS DONE TO YOU? >> WELL, DON'T FORGET THE 01:16:30 ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD. 01:16:36 FOR GET EVERYTHING IN ORDER TO FORGIVE A PERSON. 01:16:39 I THINK IF SOMEONE HAS DEEPLY HURT YOU, GOD HAS EQUIPPED 01:16:44 PEOPLE WITH MINDS THAT WHEN WE EXPERIENCE PAIN, THAT HELPS US 01:16:47 TO REMEMBER. EXPERIENCE, THAT'S HARD TO 01:16:52 FORGET THAT. MEANS YOU DON'T HAVE TO DWELL ON 01:16:58 IT OR REMIND THEM. WE ALL KNOW PEOPLE WHO REMIND 01:17:06 PEOPLE. FROM FLYING OVER YOUR HEAD, BUT 01:17:11 YOU CAN PREVENT THEM FROM MAKING A NEST IN YOUR HAIR. 01:17:15 I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME. SOME PEOPLE REALLY OFFENDED ME 01:17:19 AND I FORGAVE THEM AND THEN THEY WOULD HELD 01:17:24 COME BACK, I WOULD SAY LORD, TAKE IT AWAY. 01:17:27 I WANT TO FOR GIVE THEM. THE MORE IT HAPPENED I 01:17:33 REMEMBERED LESS AND LESS. >> JOHN THE BAPTIST KNOW THAT 01:17:39 JESUS HIS COUSIN WAS THE MESSIAH. 01:17:45 IT. WAS WHEN JESUS--I THINK IT'S IN 01:17:50 THE GOSPEL OF JOHN--WHEN THE LORD SPOKE TO JOHN ON WHOM YOU 01:17:58 SEE THE HOLY SPIRIT FALL, THAT'S THE ONE. 01:18:02 JOHN SAW JESUS THE HOLY SPIRIT FALL. 01:18:12 WAS SUPERNATURALLY REVEALED TO HIM AT THE JORDAN RIVER. 01:18:16 >> JOHN 1:33. >> IT SAYS, I DID NOT KNOW, BUT 01:18:23 HE SENT ME TO BAPTIZE. GOOD VERSE THERE. 01:18:35 ANOTHER QUESTION. WHAT KIND OF SONG WAS SUNG THE 01:18:40 LORD JESUS WITH THE DISCIPLES MATTHEW 26:30? 01:18:45 UPPER ROOM? THEY SANG A SONG AND THEN THEY 01:18:47 LEFT AND WENT TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES? 01:18:53 THERE WERE SEVERAL OF THE PSALMS, THE SONGS FOR THE PASS 01:18:57 OVER. SANG, SO IT WOULD BE JUST 01:19:02 SPECULATION I DON'T HAVE A LIST IN FRONT OF ME, BUT PSALM 69 01:19:09 COULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE SONGS. 01:19:18 THE CROSS. COULD HAVE BEEN ONE FROM THE 01:19:27 PSALMS. >> TWO TRIBES ARE LEFT OUT. 01:19:38 EPHRAIM SORT OF IS INCLUDED IN THE FACT THAT JOSEPH IS 01:19:42 MENTIONED. BUT EPHRAIM IT SAYS IN HOSEA 01:19:46 WHERE EPHRAIM IS JOINED TO HIS IDOLS, LEAVE HIM ALONE. 01:19:50 THE NATION OF EPHRAIM HAD SORT OF TURNED TO IDOLATRY, AND IT 01:19:55 SOUNDED LIKE GOD SAID YOU REJECTED ME, I'M TURNING AWAY. 01:20:00 AND THE FALLACIES THAT JACOB GAVE OF DAN. 01:20:04 AND SO THESE TWO TRIBES BECAUSE OF WHAT THEIR NAMES MEANT AND 01:20:09 THOSE PROPHECIES THEY WERE REMOVED INSTEAD YOU HAVE LEVI 01:20:14 INCLUDED AND THE WORD JOSEPH ADDED. 01:20:21 LISTED IN REVELATION 7 IS UNIQUE. 01:20:25 >> IT IS. >> IT DOESN'T BEGIN WITH THE 01:20:29 OLDEST. AND ENDS WITH BENJAMIN, BUT NOT 01:20:35 THIS LIST. >> ROMANS 13:1-2 TALKS ABOUT 01:20:39 AUTHORITIES BEING APPOINTED BY GOD. 01:20:45 ROMANS 13:1-2. >> WELL, I ANY PEOPLE OFTEN GET 01:20:50 THE LEADERSHIP THEY DESERVE. BUT GOD, HE DOES APPOINT CERTAIN 01:20:57 AUTHORITIES. ABOUT A SPECIFIC INDIVIDUAL. 01:21:00 I THINK THAT HE MEANS THAT GOD HAS ARRANGED THAT IN SOCIETY 01:21:03 THERE IS GOING TO BE AUTHORITY THAT MUST BE RESPECTED WHETHER 01:21:07 IT IS A MAYOR, GOVERNOR, POLICE, PRESIDENT, SHERIFF, YOU KNOW. 01:21:11 WE SHOULD ABIDE BY THE RULES. MOST SOCIETIES HAVE--MOST OF THE 01:21:16 LAWS ARE BASED ON GOOD REASON. AND WE SHOULD RESPECT THOSE. 01:21:20 YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE CULTURES IN THE WORLD ARE LAWS BASED ON 01:21:24 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. IS LEGAL TO MURDER, STEAL OR 01:21:29 LIE. LAND. 01:21:34 SPEED ELEMENT, EH PASTOR ROSS? >> YEAH, YEAH. 01:21:39 >> I GOT PULLED OVER THIS WEEK. I ASKED FOR MERCY AND THEY GAVE 01:21:45 US MERCY. PRAISE THE LORD. 01:21:47 I WAS IN A HURRY TO DO GOD'S BUSINESS. 01:21:53 [ CHUCKLING ] OKAY, REVELATION 1:7 WHO ARE THE 01:21:58 ONES THAT MOURN IN IT COMES WITH CLOUDS AND EVERY EYE SHALL SEE 01:22:04 THEM. >> I THINK IT'S ALSO IN MATTHEW 01:22:09 24, ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH WILL SEE HIM COMING AND THEY 01:22:13 WILL MOURN. IT IS SPEAKING OF THOSE WHO ARE 01:22:18 LOST. OF GOD. 01:22:21 THE 144,000 ARE SYMBOLIC OF GOD'S TRIBE. 01:22:27 LOST. MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR WHEN 01:22:31 THEY COME ARE THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH, AND THEY WILL ALL MOURN 01:22:35 HIS COMING BECAUSE THEY'RE--WHAT DOES IT SAY? 01:22:38 THEY'RE GOING TO CROSS THE ROCKS AND THE MOUNTAINS WILL FALL ON 01:22:42 THEM AND THEY WILL HIDE FROM THE FACE. 01:22:47 FOR THE SAVED IT'S A BLESSED HOPE. 01:22:51 DARKNESS. AND IT'S CALLED THE DAY OF THE 01:22:54 LORD. MOST OF THE WORLD. 01:22:59 >> HERE IS AN INTERESTING QUESTION. 01:23:03 ISRAEL WAS CHOSEN AND BLESSED BY GOD. 01:23:10 >> WELL, I HAVE NO QUESTION THAT GOD CHOSE THE UNITED STATES TO 01:23:15 BE A PLACE THAT WOULD BE FERTILE GROUND FOR CHRISTIANITY TO 01:23:21 EXPLODE. BECAUSE RIGHT AFTER GOD PROVIDED 01:23:25 A NATION THAT WOULD BE LARGELY COMPRISED OF IMMIGRANTS WHO CAME 01:23:30 MANY OF THEM FLEEING RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION. 01:23:39 OUR FOOTING WITH RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. 01:23:44 TO THE CONSTITUTION WE RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A 01:23:47 GOVERNMENT WHERE PEOPLE HAD FREEDOM TO WORSHIP AND THEY ALSO 01:23:50 HAD FREEDOM TO SELECT THEIR LEADERS. 01:23:54 YET, IN THAT ENVIRONMENT CHRISTIANITY EXPLODED FROM COAST 01:23:59 TO COAST IN NORTH AMERICA. NOT EVERYONE WAS A CHRISTIAN, 01:24:02 BUT IT BECAME A REALLY GREAT ENVIRONMENT FOR CHRISTIANITY TO 01:24:07 FLOURISH. ENLIGHTENMENTS IN AMERICA FROM 01:24:13 GEORGE WHITFIELD AND JOHN WESLEY TO JONATHAN EDWARDS AND CHARLES 01:24:17 FINNEY. SPREAD, BILLY GRAHAM, GREAT 01:24:25 REVIVALS. AND SO GOD EXPLOITED THE FREEDOM 01:24:28 HERE FOR THAT PURPOSE. >> ALSO GREAT MISSIONARY 01:24:32 ACTIVITY, THE PRINT PRINTING OF BIBLES, CHRISTIAN LITERATURE AND 01:24:37 THE USE OF MEDIA TODAY. A LOT OF IT IS COMING FORTH IN 01:24:42 THE PROCLAMATION OF THE GOSPEL. >> THE AMERICAN IDEAL OF FREEDOM 01:24:45 STARTED HERE AND IT SPREAD. YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN TO NORTH 01:24:53 AND SOUTH KOREA. TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WORLDS. 01:24:57 ONE IS SO SAD AND SO POOR. AND THEN SOUTH KOREA 01:25:03 CHRISTIANITY HAS EXPLODED IN THE COUNTRY. 01:25:07 AROUND THE WORLD. OTHER COUNTRIES, FREEDOM OF 01:25:12 RELIGION, IT REALLY HELPED THE MISSION GO AROUND THE WORLD. 01:25:16 >> OKAY. MOSES CHANGE GOD'S MIND IF GOD 01:25:20 KNOWS EVERYTHING? MOSES SAID BLOT MY NAME OUT OF 01:25:27 YOUR BOOK. SPEECH. 01:25:32 YOU NEVER SURPRISE THE LORD. WHEN YOU CONFESS YOUR SINS, YOU 01:25:39 DON'T SAY SIT DOWN, LORD, I'M GOING TO SHOCK YOU. 01:25:43 HE KNOWS EVERYTHING. IT WAS THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN 01:25:47 MOSES THAT MADE MOSES PLEAD WITH THE LORD. 01:25:50 TO SHOW MERCY TO ISRAEL. GOD WANTED THAT. 01:25:53 BUT HE SAID, OKAY, OKAY. I'VE RELENTED. 01:25:57 I'VE CHANGED MY MIND. I THINK GOD IS ALWAYS ANXIOUS TO 01:26:01 PLEAD WITH HIM FOR MERCY. >> I THINK WE SEE THAT 01:26:06 ILLUSTRATING IN THE SITUATION WHERE ABRAHAM INTERCEDED FOR 01:26:12 LOT. THAT HE WAS GOING TO DESTROY THE 01:26:18 CITY. >> EXACTLY. 01:26:23 SENT IN THEIR QUESTIONS. WE'LL REMIND YOU THAT WE'LL BE 01:26:27 TAKING QUESTIONS TOMORROW. THE PROGRAM STARTS AT 11:00 A.M. 01:26:30 WE HAVE A SABBATH MORNING PROGRAM. 01:26:35 11:00 TO 12:00 PACIFIC TIME THEN WE'LL TAKE OUR FINAL Q&A 01:26:38 SESSION.

AND THAT OF COURSE WILL BE 01:26:45 TOMORROW MORNING AT OUR TIME AND 11:00 A.M. 01:26:51 >> YES, THE MESSAGE TOMORROW, WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT 01:26:54 THE GOAL OF THE GODLY AND SUMMARIZE WHAT THE MESSAGE OF 01:26:57 REVELATION IS ALL ABOUT TO--IT'S CALLED THE REVELATION OF JESUS 01:27:01 CHRIST.
