1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,280
We have a couple of testimonies 
first, and then Keith is going 

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,320
to come up and share with us the
word. 

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,920
But I want to invite Calvary 
Dern to come on up here, bro. 

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,400
Well, hello again. 
I came here last August and that

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,120
was actually my first trip to 
the Philippines and it was so 

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,520
good. 
I had to come back and see 

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,920
everyone. 
So thank you for welcoming me 

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,920
back. 
This feels like another home. 

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,920
I'd love to just talk to you 
about Jesus. 

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:36,040
You know, over this past year 
I've discovered the love of 

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,280
Jesus. 
The Bible says that we love 

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,640
because he first loved us. 
And so in the receiving of his 

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,800
love, I've began to see him in a
new way. 

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,560
I began to behold him in his 
sufferings with the cross and in

15
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:01,080
his resurrection power. 
And I've learned that it's much 

16
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,319
easier to be used by God than to
be a friend of God. 

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,680
And so there's a lot of 
Christians who want to be used 

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,360
by God. 
They want to be sent to the 

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,760
nations. 
They want to see revival happen 

20
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,280
and preach on pulpits and lead 
worship. 

21
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,320
But very few desire to be a 
friend of God. 

22
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:28,840
I'm reminded of story from the 
2nd century where the Christians

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,720
at the time were persecuted by 
the Romans and one of the church

24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,200
fathers. 
His name was Polycarp. 

25
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:43,640
He was leading the church at the
time as one of the fathers in 

26
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,160
modern day Turkey and he was a 
disciple of the Apostle John. 

27
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:55,400
He was in his home and the 
Romans came to take him into 

28
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,000
captivity. 
And when they got there they 

29
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,040
were very surprised because this
threat, who they thought was a 

30
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,440
threat to the Roman Empire, 
turned out to be an old man. 

31
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:12,760
So Polycarp at the age of 86, 
was in his living room and when 

32
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,960
the guards came to arrest him, 
he offered them water and food. 

33
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,480
And he said, can I have an hour 
to pray before you take me? 

34
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,040
This is what a friend of God 
looks like. 

35
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,720
Love your enemies. 
Bless those who persecute you. 

36
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:35,240
And as they took him, they threw
him into the arena and he walked

37
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:42,560
in and they threatened him with 
suffering with lions and animals

38
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,600
in the cathedral where they were
killing Christians. 

39
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:49,400
And he said, what has God ever 
done to me? 

40
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,480
Nothing. 
He has only been a friend. 

41
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:57,680
So why would I betray my king? 
And they threatened him with 

42
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,360
fire at the stake. 
And he said don't chain me, I 

43
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,440
want to hold on. 
And he believed that God would 

44
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,360
give him the strength to hold on
while the flames engulfed him. 

45
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,760
And so they set him on fire. 
But to their surprise they 

46
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,080
didn't smell burning flesh. 
He was not dying, that the 

47
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,760
flames could not engulf him. 
And instead they went to him and

48
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,640
they stabbed him, and the blood 
put out the flames of the fire. 

49
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:34,320
And the Romans witnessed what it
looked like to see a man of God 

50
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:40,040
be martyred who was a friend. 
And so like Moses, who knew the 

51
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:45,600
ways of God, I desire to be his 
friend, to know his heart. 

52
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,760
You begin to ask different 
questions whenever you are a 

53
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,120
friend of God. 
It's not just what does the word

54
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,760
say, but it's why did God write 
this? 

55
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,720
When you're in a relationship 
with someone in friendship, you 

56
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,040
begin to ask their preferences. 
What do you desire? 

57
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,560
What do you delight in? 
What do you love? 

58
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,200
And as we begin to behold him 
and his sufferings, it gives us 

59
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,480
an understanding for how we can 
then live out a Christian walk 

60
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,360
that truly glorifies the Lord. 
And we do it in relationship 

61
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:26,680
with God, not as mere employees 
or workers for the Lord, but as 

62
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,040
true friends. 
And so the Bible says that as 

63
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,040
this, there's no greater love 
than this than for one man to 

64
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,600
lay down his life or another. 
And in that way, Jesus Christ 

65
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:46,200
came as a man, fully God, fully 
man, and died a death on the 

66
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,360
cross. 
He hung there for you and I and 

67
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,400
gave his life. 
And so there is no greater love 

68
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,040
than that of the cross. 
The cross is a representation of

69
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,120
where heaven meets earth, where 
our will and God's will, they 

70
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,040
collide. 
And then we get to choose and 

71
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,960
say not my will be done, but 
yours be done. 

72
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,760
And this is how we store the old
heaven. 

73
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,960
We begin to deny self and live 
and walk in the Spirit. 

74
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,360
And as we do that, he begins to 
lead us into the places of God, 

75
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,080
the deep places of God, where we
begin to discover his heart. 

76
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,200
We begin to see his face where 
we wake up in the morning and we

77
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,360
ask questions like have you seen
his face today? 

78
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,560
Have you looked into his eyes? 
They're a little bit brighter 

79
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,600
than yesterday. 
They're a little bit more 

80
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:41,280
beautiful. 
There's no one like the Lord, 

81
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,920
and if you choose to seek after 
Him with all your heart, with 

82
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,640
all your mind, with all your 
soul, with all your strength, 

83
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:57,360
you will discover that He is the
greatest reward and nothing else

84
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,600
can ever satisfy. 
He will sustain every need that 

85
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,520
you have. 
He's better than anything you 

86
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:11,440
could ask, seek, or imagine. 
And so Jesus is everything. 

87
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,360
Jesus is everything. 
He's all you need. 

88
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,520
And so thank you for letting me 
share for a second and bless you

89
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,640
all. 
Wow you guys are amazing. 

90
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:32,840
I love the Philippines and Amen 
so many of you guys will be 

91
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:36,480
praying for when we go back. 
I'm from Indiana, I went to 

92
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,360
Brownsville with Keith and Eric 
many years ago, which makes me 

93
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:48,160
anyways not 21 anymore. 
My kids, I have two boys, 23 and

94
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,440
20. 
They love Jesus worshippers. 

95
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,080
They serve in the ministry back 
in Indiana. 

96
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,200
But I wanted to. 
Share more so than tell about 

97
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,960
myself. 
We're here about we're here to 

98
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:01,200
talk about Jesus. 
Amen. 

99
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,520
I want to share really a few 
scriptures that are on my heart 

100
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:14,360
that have been on my heart the 
last week and I had three quick 

101
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,520
points and I'm going to be 
quick. 

102
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,000
I promise my church would be 
laughing if they heard heard me 

103
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,960
say this. 
But my three points that I 

104
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,720
wanted to make this morning is I
want to talk about the power and

105
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,280
the simplicity of following God 
and changing the world. 

106
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,000
I wanted to give just a few 
points of wisdom along the way 

107
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,800
that I've learned, and three 
scriptures or maybe a few more 

108
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:50,280
that talk about the simplicity 
of changing the world God has. 

109
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,320
Called you to. 
Carry the anointing and the 

110
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,400
presence of God. 
Everywhere you go, God goes. 

111
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,640
God doesn't give junior Holy 
Spirit. 

112
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,840
So when you speak, God speaks 
through you. 

113
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,160
You carry the same anointing, 
the raised Jesus Christ from the

114
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,360
dead. 
Literally. 

115
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:17,240
When you speak, people feel in 
deep down in their heart. 

116
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,280
Their DNA is shaken by the very 
fabric of their being. 

117
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,640
Because the same God that 
created them is now speaking 

118
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,480
through you as an ambassador or 
representative that has the same

119
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,480
spirit that created them. 
So when you witness and when you

120
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:39,039
share the gospel and when you 
love on others, I want you to, I

121
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,120
want you to remind yourself it's
not about. 

122
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,520
You you carry something that's 
greater than yourself. 

123
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,800
Whenever I travel, TSA asks 3 
questions. 

124
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,120
The first thing is this where 
you. 

125
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,200
They want to know where are you 
going, what are you caring and 

126
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,280
how much is it worth? 
They want to know these three 

127
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,880
things because they're very 
important. 

128
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,560
And I believe that God would ask
you the same question this 

129
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:06,120
morning. 
Where are you going, what are 

130
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,440
you caring and how much is it 
worth? 

131
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:13,840
And I want to give you 3 
scriptures or three passages 

132
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,200
that talk about the simplicity 
of. 

133
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,480
Where you're going? 
What you're caring and how much 

134
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,240
it's worth. 
How many is carrying Jesus this 

135
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,600
morning? 
How many is going to heaven? 

136
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,400
Amen. 
But on the way we're going to 

137
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,920
experience heaven on earth. 
Amen. 

138
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,480
And people deserve to experience
a move of God. 

139
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:41,040
Wherever you go, you owe them. 
After you encounter God, you owe

140
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,640
them an encounter with God. 
Saved people save people. 

141
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,360
Healed people heal people. 
Delivered people deliver people.

142
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,360
Amen. 
And when you carry the Kingdom, 

143
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:59,520
I'm telling you you're not 
carrying your calling, your 

144
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,280
gifting. 
It's not about any of that. 

145
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,800
It's all about the Kingdom. 
IGF is about connecting you to 

146
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:11,040
the Kingdom of heaven so that 
you have resources to do what 

147
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:16,320
God has called you to do, what 
God desires to do all across the

148
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,120
world. 
It is not about Keith, it's not 

149
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,400
about me. 
It's not about Eric. 

150
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,520
It's not about any of these 
generals and powerful men of 

151
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,480
God. 
I love Jason's word man. 

152
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,720
I'm going to be chewing on that 
for a long time, but I want to 

153
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,280
give you a few scriptures and 
then I'm going to let Pastor 

154
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,080
Keith, brother Keith, preach the
word of God this morning. 

155
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,840
First one is Proverbs chapter 16
verse one. 

156
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,240
It is not the first point of 
wisdom. 

157
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,760
I would say this. 
It is not my responsibility to 

158
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,560
always have a word from the 
Lord. 

159
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,520
A lot of people want me to 
prophecy over them or give them 

160
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,280
a word and they will actually 
asked me to do these things, but

161
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,280
I refuse. 
If I don't have anything, I 

162
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,040
don't have anything. 
I'm not going to muster 

163
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,720
something up. 
I'm not going to make it up. 

164
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,240
But the Bible says this in 
Proverbs 16 and one. 

165
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,480
It's very important for us to 
understand this. 

166
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,600
The preparations of the heart 
belong to man, but the answer of

167
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,280
the tongue is from the Lord. 
All the ways of a man are pure 

168
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,640
in his own eyes, but the Lord 
weighs out the spirit meaning 

169
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,920
this. 
We think we're pure until the 

170
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,760
coal comes, until the fire 
comes, and then God, really, He 

171
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,520
will deal with whatever needs to
be dealt with #1 it is your 

172
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,440
responsibility. 
And it's my responsibility every

173
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,480
day of my life to prepare my 
heart for God. 

174
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,200
It is God's responsibility to 
speak. 

175
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,160
Amen. 
How many know that this morning 

176
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,200
worship was awesome? 
Y'all agree? 

177
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,800
Somebody prepared their hearts 
before they got up here. 

178
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,000
Somebody was already connected 
to heaven. 

179
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:04,360
So that when they caught up here
and they began to call the name 

180
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,120
of Jesus, God began to speak. 
He began to move in the Spirit 

181
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,280
first took preparation. 
So number one, it is not my job 

182
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,120
to get a word from the Lord. 
It's only my job to prepare my 

183
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:26,880
heart #2 The second thing is 
this, I can't find my notes now 

184
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,880
OK, is Jeremiah chapter 10. 
Jeremiah says this. 

185
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,920
He says, Oh Lord, I know the way
of man is not in himself. 

186
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:40,480
It is not in man who speaks to 
direct his own steps. 

187
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:46,840
O Lord, correct me, but with 
justice, and do not and and not,

188
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,960
and let not your anger bring me 
to nothing. 

189
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,960
What Jeremiah is saying this I 
have found that I am not the 

190
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,480
leader that I thought I was. 
I don't know where I'm going 

191
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,800
unless God gives me direction. 
It takes great humility to 

192
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:09,240
follow the Lord in this hour 
without humility of saying I do 

193
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,440
not know where I'm going unless 
the Lord shows me. 

194
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,680
I stand up in front of my church
and they look at me as their 

195
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:18,720
leader and I tell them all the 
time we need to have fellowship 

196
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,160
conferences because everybody 
wants to boast about being a 

197
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,560
pastor's pastor or a leader or 
all these being significant. 

198
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:31,720
But the reality is the least 
significant I become, the more 

199
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:37,120
that God can use me. 
We must embrace fellowship in 

200
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,160
our lives. 
That is how we're going to be 

201
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,440
led by the Spirit of God. 
Every day I get up, every time I

202
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,320
get up to preach, I study myself
full and then I pray myself 

203
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,040
empty. 
I said, Lord, I have no idea 

204
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,600
what you're going to speak. 
I have no idea what what you're 

205
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,640
going to do. 
Over the last. 

206
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,080
Two years we have seen God 
provide miracles. 

207
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,560
We had a lost guy walk up to me 
and give me $1 million to fund 

208
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:06,960
the project that we were 
funding. 

209
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,040
Brother Keith stood on the 
property. 

210
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,360
It was nothing but mud and just 
it was a mess. 

211
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,760
Now stands a couple years later,
a $5,000,000 property filled 

212
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,880
with souls that have just gotten
saved over the last 12 months. 

213
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,960
Can somebody say Amen? 
But it was because I did not 

214
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,040
know where I was going, but I 
knew who had the answer. 

215
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,560
I knew that if God had spoke to 
us to build something and do 

216
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,160
something, it was His 
responsibility that this vision 

217
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,600
be funded and completed the same
as your believing God for this 

218
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,480
building. 
God is going to answer Amen, 

219
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,080
that we must be led by the 
Spirit of God. 

220
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,640
He always does it in unusual 
ways and He's always funded our 

221
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,520
ministry with lost people. 
It's unbelievable. 

222
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,520
Every large check we've ever 
received is people that don't 

223
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,440
even believe in the Lord. 
The gentleman that gave me the 

224
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,760
$1 million is an actual atheist,
but he's going to come to the 

225
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,560
knowledge of Jesus. 
Can somebody say Amen? 

226
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,640
And the third. 
Thing I would say this and 

227
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,080
Matthew, it tells us this. 
Don't worry about what you're 

228
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,560
going to say when they send you,
for the Holy Spirit will give 

229
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,480
you the words. 
Listen, if your heart is 

230
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,080
prepared and you understand and 
you understand that God has not 

231
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,280
called you to be a leader, but a
follower, and true followers are

232
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,480
leaders. 
I know that sounds confusing, 

233
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:36,480
but really embracing being the 
follower of Jesus opens you up 

234
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,040
to the Holy Spirit moving in 
your life. 

235
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,120
You can have confidence that 
wherever you go, as long as your

236
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,680
heart is prepared and as long as
you understand you are blind 

237
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,440
without Him and you do not have 
access to anything without Him, 

238
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,240
then you can expect and have 
confidence that God is going to 

239
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,920
come through in your life. 
Somebody say faith. 

240
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,880
You don't need to fear anybody. 
You don't need to fear Americans

241
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,800
or Italians or people that you 
might think come from money or 

242
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,520
resources. 
If you have God, you have all 

243
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,840
that you need. 
If God be for you, who be 

244
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,160
against you. 
And I believe that I'm standing 

245
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,920
in the midst of some world 
changers here in the 

246
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,440
Philippines. 
So I considered an honor to be 

247
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,280
able to love on you and charge 
you. 

248
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,560
Man, I I've been touched by 
God's presence. 

249
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:34,040
The worship is amazing. 
The preaching has been amazing, 

250
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,800
but I'm excited about what God 
is going to do through His 

251
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,840
Kingdom in your life. 
Amen. 

252
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,680
Amen. 
I love you guys, God bless you. 

253
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,120
Wow, so much has already been 
said that's been so good. 

254
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,880
And let me just before I share 
it, thank you so much for your 

255
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,200
hospitality. 
All of you have been amazing. 

256
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,840
You know, again, those that have
cooked for us, those that have 

257
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,480
hosted us, welcomed us, loved on
us. 

258
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,800
We are just so, so blessed. 
And I tell, give yourselves a 

259
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,920
big hand clap. 
Amen. 

260
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,359
As I said last night, we know 
there's a lot that goes into a 

261
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,359
conference like this and you 
guys really made it happen. 

262
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,280
And I know the Lord will bless 
you. 

263
00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:23,960
And listen, I, I really feel 
like that we are standing in the

264
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:29,880
midst of supernatural destiny 
that that God has birthed 

265
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,200
something, is birthing 
something. 

266
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,040
And I mean, who knows what's 
going to happen. 

267
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,880
My, my expectations are very 
high as I continue to pray about

268
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,840
direction and what the Lord is 
saying concerning Asia and the 

269
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,800
Philippines. 
I mean, my heart is just alive 

270
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,680
with the purposes of God and 
with the potential that's before

271
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,200
us. 
And I, I would just encourage 

272
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,520
all of us, I'm speaking to 
myself as well, that let us 

273
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:03,440
steward what God has birthed. 
Well, let us be faithful to what

274
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,680
God has placed in our hands. 
You know, a lot of people I 

275
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,000
believe have had great 
opportunities to do great things

276
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,240
for God, but they, they 
squandered those opportunities 

277
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,520
because they were not faithful 
to what God had called them to 

278
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:23,520
do. 
So I feel like it's good to feel

279
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,000
our responsibility and what God 
has birthed. 

280
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,880
And I just know that even the 
dream centers are part of that 

281
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,560
there. 
There's so many things connected

282
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:37,400
to this vision, but but I know 
that God is able when people are

283
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,920
willing. 
And you know, there's that, that

284
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,480
that that time where Isaiah said
here am I, Lord send me the 

285
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,640
Hebrew word is Hanani. 
And I don't know about you, but 

286
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,000
I'm just at the place where I 
know I can't do everything. 

287
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,600
I don't have the, the the 
energy, the effort, the time, 

288
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,080
the money. 
But I know that anytime I've 

289
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,400
said God, here I am send me 
that. 

290
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,600
He makes a way even where there 
does not seem to be a way. 

291
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,440
So let me just encourage all of 
us to be faithful to what God 

292
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,600
has birthed here. 
This is an amazing church I've 

293
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,960
spoken here with three or four 
Times Now. 

294
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,200
And thank you for your heart to 
worship the Lord. 

295
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,520
Thank you for your willingness 
to host IGF Asia. 

296
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,800
And I believe, I believe that 
the local church here is going 

297
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,800
to be blessed supernaturally 
because of your willingness to 

298
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,280
host what God is doing in the 
Philippines and into other Asian

299
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,200
nations. 
And you are, you're, you're a 

300
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,120
major part of this puzzle, I 
believe. 

301
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:43,800
And I just believe there's going
to be a blessing that's going to

302
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,200
be bestowed upon you in many 
ways. 

303
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,480
So can I just? 
Can I before? 

304
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,680
I share for a couple hours here.
Just kidding, but can I just 

305
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,440
pray over you just in the matter
of a blessing? 

306
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,920
Just lift your hands to the Lord
right now. 

307
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,280
Father, I thank you for this 
amazing church family. 

308
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,920
I thank you for the leadership 
here for Pastor Armand. 

309
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,320
Pastor Buddy, they're wives. 
I thank you God for. 

310
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,440
All those that are serving, 
those that are ministering to 

311
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,440
the children today while we're 
in here, Father, those that are 

312
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,160
working with teenagers, those 
that are counseling, those that 

313
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,880
are praying, God, those that are
feeding the poor children of 

314
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,440
this area, Lord, Father, those 
that are going to the college 

315
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,480
campus and sharing and the truth
and the love of Jesus, I thank 

316
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,200
you for them, God, and I just 
bless them right now. 

317
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,080
I pray that your favor would 
rest upon them. 

318
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,720
I pray God that they would know 
you in a deep and intimate way. 

319
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,280
I pray God, even the things that
Calvary shared, those deeper 

320
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,120
places of intimacy with you, 
that that would become the air 

321
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:57,320
that they breathe, that would 
become the native air that they 

322
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,600
live in. 
Lord Jesus. 

323
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,400
Take them deeper, Lord. 
Make your ways more real to 

324
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,160
them, Lord, may the beauty of 
your face captivate them. 

325
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:10,440
May nothing in this world ever 
be able to distract them. 

326
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:15,160
Lord God, overwhelm them with 
your goodness, with your beauty,

327
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,600
with your holiness, with your 
power, and with your presence. 

328
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,720
May they taste of you and see 
that you are good as your word 

329
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,920
declares. 
And Father, may there be a fresh

330
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,800
move of your spirit. 
We thank you for what you're 

331
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,480
doing. 
God, we feel the moving of your 

332
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,800
glory in this place. 
But God, we cry out for the 

333
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,200
more, more of your power, more 
of your presence. 

334
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,240
May your glory even from this 
place go into the streets of 

335
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,160
Agdao, into all the places of 
Davao, Lord. 

336
00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:51,600
And may we see real Holy Ghost 
revival that transforms a 

337
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,480
community and a city. 
Lord, Godfather, we say, Lord 

338
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:00,720
Jesus, may we be honored, so 
honored to host your presence in

339
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,760
this hour, in this season, in 
this place. 

340
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,000
And Father, we just commit our 
hearts to faithfulness, Lord. 

341
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,600
We commit our hearts to 
obedience, Lord, But we know 

342
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,520
that one day we will stand at 
the judgment seat of Christ. 

343
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,800
And we will. 
Give an account for every word 

344
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,440
and deed. 
And Father Paul spoke those 

345
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,880
words for a purpose. 
He he wrote those words for a 

346
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,560
purpose that we might feel that 
we are a part of your eternal 

347
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,520
plan. 
And Lord, we don't want to 

348
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,560
fumble this. 
We don't want to squander this. 

349
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,880
We don't want to miss this 
opportunity that you've given 

350
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,240
us. 
So, Lord, this morning, this 

351
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:42,760
day, we say, here we are. 
Lord, use us for your glory, 

352
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,760
Jesus. 
Use us for your glory, the 

353
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,840
Father. 
May your blessing, your favor, 

354
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:54,440
and your great grace, Your 
empowering grace, overwhelm this

355
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:59,240
people, right? 
Now in Jesus name, in Jesus 

356
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,040
name, Amen. 
Amen. 

357
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,720
Thank you Lord. 
Hallelujah. 

358
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,680
Well, listen, I'm seriously 
going to take just just a small 

359
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,040
amount of time this morning. 
Share a few things on my heart 

360
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,440
and then we'll we'll pray and 
we'll release you. 

361
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,360
I want you to turn to Acts 
chapter 20 if you would. 

362
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,720
There was a passage of Scripture
that I referred to on Friday 

363
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,360
night and I just felt to kind of
come back and read this and then

364
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:39,240
share a few thoughts of what it 
means to really have an eternal 

365
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,880
understanding or what it means 
to live in the light of 

366
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,480
eternity. 
What does it mean to be a people

367
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:51,240
who who understand that we are 
in this world, but the Bible 

368
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:58,480
says we are not of this world. 
You know, there is, there is a 

369
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,800
trap that many people in the 
church fall into, and that is 

370
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,240
that they, they have an 
experience with the Lord, they 

371
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,760
are born again. 
It's genuine. 

372
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,120
They're saved, they're washed by
the blood of Jesus. 

373
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:15,640
But as they walk out their their
their existence in Christ, as 

374
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,720
they live their Christian life, 
often times people get very 

375
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,160
distracted. 
Now I'm, I'm one that believes 

376
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,640
the primary reason for this is 
because they take their eyes off

377
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,720
the face of Jesus. 
In other words, they, they begin

378
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,080
to look at other things and 
they, they begin to allow things

379
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,960
to pull them away from what God 
and who God has really called 

380
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,280
them to be. 
We can even look at church 

381
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,920
throughout history. 
I mean, great moves of God. 

382
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,800
There's, there was a move of God
that was birthed in England in 

383
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,840
the 1700s called the Methodist 
Church. 

384
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,040
And I'm sure there's Methodist 
churches here, but at one time 

385
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:57,880
they were a fiery, evangelistic,
passionate group of people who 

386
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,920
literally touched the world. 
I've been to Africa and I've 

387
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,720
seen Methodist churches. 
I've been, I've been to 39 

388
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,960
nations and most of them, not 
all of them, but many of them, 

389
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,520
I've seen Methodist churches, 
some of them that dated back to 

390
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,200
the 1800s or, or even the early 
1900s. 

391
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:19,000
And it shows me that there was 
something so powerful that God 

392
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,480
was doing through that mope, 
through that movement at one 

393
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,480
time. 
But somewhere along the way, 

394
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,640
many of the leaders of the 
Methodist Church got distracted.

395
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:34,080
They, they lost their passion, 
they lost their vision, they 

396
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,200
lost their heart to know Jesus. 
They, they lost their desire for

397
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,800
the fire of God to be burning 
among them. 

398
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,680
I actually have a book that a 
friend gave me from Washington, 

399
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,520
DC, and it's actually an old 
journal from the Methodist 

400
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,880
Church, and it predates the 
Civil War in America. 

401
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,040
It's from 1834. 
There was a church in the state 

402
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,440
that I live in now in North 
Carolina, and it's talking about

403
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,280
the meetings that they were 
having. 

404
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,880
I mean actual, literal meetings 
that were taking place in this 

405
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,640
little church in the mountains 
of North Carolina. 

406
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,880
And it was talking about how the
fire of God sometime would fall 

407
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:18,000
so powerfully that that men and 
women would be in the floor 

408
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,800
weeping unto the Lord sometimes 
6-7 hours at a time. 

409
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,360
I mean, there was such a 
powerful move of God among the 

410
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:29,840
Methodist, but now, 
unfortunately, because that 

411
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,600
movement did not steward 
intimacy with the Lord, they did

412
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,280
not steward what God had 
deposited into them. 

413
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,440
Now in the United States of 
America, the Methodist Church is

414
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,440
ordaining homosexual ministers, 
the United Methodist Church. 

415
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,480
There's been a split. 
But my point is this, we've got 

416
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,360
to be faithful to what God has 
called us to. 

417
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:58,760
Stuart And it's not just about 
feeling, thank God we can feel 

418
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:05,280
him, but but we have to by faith
embrace the call of God upon our

419
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,600
lives. 
Listen to to me. 

420
00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:14,440
I'll be honest with you, when it
comes to the birthing of an IGF 

421
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:19,920
Asia or even an Impact Global 
Fellowship, I have a, a strong 

422
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,800
fear that I'll miss it 
somewhere. 

423
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,040
And I, I'm not talking about a 
fleshly type of fear, but I'm 

424
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:31,080
talking about a fear of God 
that, that I don't want to just 

425
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,320
do something because it's the, 
the thing to do. 

426
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,640
But God, I want to hear your 
voice. 

427
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,120
I want to know God. 
Listen, I knew this was in my 

428
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:44,640
heart to, to start Impact Global
Fellowship in my 40s, but I knew

429
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,640
that I could not do it until I 
was 50. 

430
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,360
It was a strategic time in our 
walk with God. 

431
00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:53,000
Often times we're just kind of 
hit and miss. 

432
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,880
We are in and out and up and 
down, and we're not really 

433
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,400
stewarding what God has called 
us to do as His people. 

434
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,120
As we look at this nation, as we
look at this city, I believe 

435
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:06,440
it's important for the church, 
for Maranatha Church or any 

436
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,800
church in the city that really 
knows Jesus, to embrace their 

437
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,400
role for this hour and for this 
season. 

438
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,640
And how do we do that? 
Number one, we steward our walk 

439
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:22,080
with God #2 #2 we've got to keep
eternity in view. 

440
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,560
If we ever lose sight of 
eternity, then we immediately 

441
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,120
get distracted and we lose our 
passion and we lose our 

442
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:32,240
heartbeat. 
Let me just read this and then 

443
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,040
I've just seriously got a few 
points and we're going to close.

444
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:40,280
But Acts chapter 20, verse 17, 
just read a few verses here. 

445
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,600
It says now from my elitist he 
sent to Ephesus, Speaking of the

446
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,320
apostle Paul, and called the 
elders of the church to come to 

447
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,120
him. 
And when they came to him, he 

448
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,240
said to them, You yourselves 
know how I lived among you the 

449
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,200
whole time, from the first day 
that I set foot in Asia, serving

450
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,960
the Lord with all humility and 
with tears and with trials that 

451
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,160
happened to me through the plots
of the Jews. 

452
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,800
How I did not shrink from 
declaring to you anything that 

453
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,120
was profitable and teaching you 
in public. 

454
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,000
And from house to house. 
Testifying both to Jews and to 

455
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,320
Greeks of repentance towards God
and a faith in our Lord Jesus 

456
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,560
Christ. 
And now, behold, I am going to 

457
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,600
Jerusalem, constrained by the 
Spirit, not knowing what will 

458
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:30,760
happen to me there, except that 
the Holy Spirit testifies me to 

459
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,400
me, that in every city 
imprisonment and afflictions 

460
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,400
await me. 
One translation says 

461
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,880
tribulations, but Paul says 
this. 

462
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,520
But I do not count my life of 
any value, nor is precious to 

463
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:49,680
myself, if only I may finish my 
course and the ministry that I 

464
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:54,040
received from the Lord Jesus to 
testify to the gospel of the 

465
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,560
grace of God. 
And now, behold, I know that 

466
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,680
none of you among who am I, I've
gone about proclaiming the 

467
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,840
Kingdom will see my face again. 
He knew that death quickly 

468
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,640
awaited him. 
Therefore I testify to you this 

469
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,960
day that I am innocent of the 
blood of all, for I did shrink 

470
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,120
from declaring to you the whole 
counsel of God. 

471
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,280
Now I want you just to look at 
this story, what's taking place 

472
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,920
here, just for a minute. 
Paul is at the twilight, or he's

473
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,520
at the end of his life. 
He, he, he's an old man at this 

474
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,880
time, and he stands before these
elders from the Church of Asia 

475
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,640
Minor, or what we call Ephesus. 
And as he stands before them, he

476
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:40,520
begins to declare to them that 
the Holy Spirit is warning him 

477
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,840
that because he has set his face
towards Jerusalem, that as he 

478
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,760
makes his way back to where it 
all started for him, the 

479
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,640
tribulation and imprisonment, 
all these things await him. 

480
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,720
But what does he say? 
I don't. 

481
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,120
Account my life as anything to 
myself. 

482
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,360
The only thing that's important 
to me is that I finish the 

483
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,040
course or the race that God has 
placed me in. 

484
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,240
He was not a man that was 
concerned about his natural 

485
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,000
provision. 
He wasn't concerned about how 

486
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,320
much persecution or suffering 
that he endured. 

487
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,760
Now listen to me when when I 
look at a man that's able to say

488
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,800
this, there, there's something 
that he didn't just understand, 

489
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,600
but there was something that 
possessed his. 

490
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,520
Heart. 
He was not a man of this world. 

491
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,720
He was not a normal Christian 
that just tries to get through 

492
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,240
life and make it from one Sunday
to the next Sunday. 

493
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,240
No, there was a deeper 
understanding of who he was in 

494
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,400
Christ and more importantly, who
Jesus was. 

495
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:52,360
In him his passions were owned. 
His heartbeat was owned by 

496
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,960
eternity. 
He was a man that looked at 

497
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,440
afflictions. 
I mentioned this Friday he was 

498
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,680
beat by the Jews five times with
39 lashes. 

499
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,200
The way our Lord was beat he 
was. 

500
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:09,680
Hungry at times, he He knew what
it was to be naked and cold in 

501
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,520
dungeons, in prison, under house
arrest. 

502
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,680
He knew what it was to be 
shipwrecked and spend a day and 

503
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,120
a night in the ocean. 
He knew what it was to have 

504
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,160
everyone turn their backs on him
and betray him. 

505
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,880
All throughout Asia. 
He was a man that understood 

506
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,800
what it meant to suffer with 
Christ, to know him in the 

507
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,520
fellowship of his sufferings. 
And he comes to this place and 

508
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,120
the Holy Spirit warns him 
there's more persecution, 

509
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,400
there's more suffering, there's 
more trial, there's more 

510
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,720
tribulation. 
But Paul says, listen, I don't 

511
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,560
account my life of any value nor
it's precious to myself, if 

512
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:56,160
only, if only I may finish my 
course in the ministry that I 

513
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,400
have received from the Lord 
Jesus to testify to the gospel 

514
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,280
of the grace of God. 
I want you to hear me. 

515
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:08,400
Many people live in this present
world with a primary focus and 

516
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,680
that is how can I do better for 
myself? 

517
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,360
Now listen, I'm not against 
education. 

518
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,280
Some people need education 
because of what they do. 

519
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,680
I'm not against it. 
I I have a doctorate divinity, I

520
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,040
have a business degree, a four 
year business degree. 

521
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,920
I'm not against those type of 
things and and it's helped me in

522
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,520
certain areas. 
But listen to me, you can have 

523
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,080
the greatest education, you can 
have the best job, you can have 

524
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,760
all the money. 
But if Jesus is not the thing 

525
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,160
that that motivates your life, 
listen, God will take your 

526
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,480
education and use it for his 
glory. 

527
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,920
But many people. 
Advance themselves in this world

528
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,800
and they lose their passion for 
eternity, that they lose their 

529
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,640
heart. 
For what they're really here 

530
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,760
for, at the end of the day, 
we're here. 

531
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,760
If you're a child of God, if you
are born again of Jesus Christ, 

532
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,400
your primary mission is to make 
disciples of the nation's. 

533
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,760
The primary purpose that we're 
here is to make Jesus known in 

534
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,040
the earth. 
Whether you're an engineer and 

535
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,400
let's say thank God for the 
engineers, we need them. 

536
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,480
Whether you're a doctor, whether
you're a plumber, whether you're

537
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,960
a housewife, every role is 
important. 

538
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,360
But in every setting, whether 
it's you and your children, you 

539
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,880
are making disciples for Jesus 
Christ and. 

540
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:35,120
Eternity is always in view. 
I remember the evangelist that 

541
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,080
Eric speaks of often, Steve Hill
in the Browns of Revival. 

542
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,280
I remember he would say 
something like this. 

543
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,360
He never let roots go too deep 
in this. 

544
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,520
World. 
Even the way that God would move

545
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,679
in from different places and 
different nations. 

546
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:53,480
In other words, he was always 
attentive to the voice of God. 

547
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,600
God, what do you want me to do? 
Not what do I want to do? 

548
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:03,120
Listen, what we do in our modern
culture often times is we decide

549
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,600
to do something and then we ask.
God to bless it. 

550
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,920
I believe when eternity comes 
into view, we say, Lord, my life

551
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,880
for your glory. 
If it's in, if it's in Davao 

552
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:21,760
City, if it's in Charlotte, NC, 
if it's in Cambodia, if it's in 

553
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,520
Switzerland, wherever it is. 
Got my life for your glory. 

554
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,440
Period. 
And we live in such a way that 

555
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,160
we never lose. 
Sight of why we listen. 

556
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:40,600
We've got this very short amount
of time and it's gone, James. 

557
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,920
James talks about it very well. 
When he said in James 414, the 

558
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,440
apostle James says, for what is 
your life? 

559
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,800
That's the question, what is 
your life? 

560
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,920
He's talking about your, your, 
your, your earthly life. 

561
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,480
He said, what is it? 
It's just a vapor. 

562
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,600
One translation says a mist that
appears for a little. 

563
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,360
Time and then it just vanishes 
away. 

564
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,920
There was a lady that lived in 
my neighborhood in Charlotte, 

565
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:18,480
NC. 
And she was 106 years old and 

566
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,960
still was very aware of the 
world and could talk and, you 

567
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,200
know, was. 
Very she actually lived by 

568
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,880
herself. 
She drove a car till she was a 

569
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,280
until she was 104 and then her 
children, who were in their late

570
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,720
80s, finally took her driver's 
license from her because she 

571
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:39,120
couldn't see very well on 
peripheral vision. 

572
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:44,000
But as I would see her and talk 
to her and she'd be out in the 

573
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,640
yard sometimes with a little hoe
gardening and she cooked her own

574
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,640
food and a lady that lives next 
door to us would go over and 

575
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,920
help her sometimes. 
But but as I would. 

576
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,160
Talk. 
I'm like, wow, 100. 

577
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,120
And six years old. 
Think of everything that she's 

578
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,880
seen and everything that she's 
known. 

579
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,360
But then what is 106 years 
compared to eternity? 

580
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,960
It's just a a vapor. 
It's just a myth. 

581
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,800
It's nothing, friend, you've got
one opportunity to bring glory 

582
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:15,360
to Jesus. 
There's a a man his some of his 

583
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,320
quotes are in this room up. 
There's a Ravenhill. 

584
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,440
Leonard Ravenhill said you. 
Can't make up your prayer life? 

585
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,840
When you get to the judgment 
seat, you got one opportunity to

586
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,720
be a prayer warrior. 
Why are we prayer warriors? 

587
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:32,640
Because in God's heart and in 
God's pattern, he connects his 

588
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,320
eternal will to the prayers and 
to the obedience of prayer 

589
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,200
warriors. 
So we pray. 

590
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,240
Why? 
Because it changes history, it 

591
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:44,000
changes eternity. 
It's not something that we just 

592
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,080
read about and say, man, what an
awesome woman or man, I've got 

593
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,360
no friend. 
We embrace his passion for a 

594
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,520
dying world and we pray with his
heart. 

595
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,640
Paul said in Romans 8 with 26 or
28, he says, listen, there are 

596
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,000
times when I pray. 
I don't even know what to pray. 

597
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,640
And he said the Holy Spirit 
comes over me sometimes with 

598
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,360
groanings and things that I 
can't even put human language 

599
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,560
to. 
But the Holy Spirit knows the 

600
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,240
heart of the. 
Father and he prays through me. 

601
00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:15,440
Why do we do? 
This not so that we can say 

602
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,440
we're on the intercession no, 
friend, so that lives can be 

603
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,400
changed, so that revival can be 
birthed. 

604
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,240
So that cities can be 
transformed. 

605
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,600
So that movements of God that 
can make a difference throughout

606
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:35,160
eternity can be birthed in 
places like Davao and America 

607
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,960
and Japan and everywhere else, 
even places where there hardly 

608
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,560
is no church. 
In those places, God raises up 

609
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:47,120
people with a burden for the 
lost, and when eternity comes 

610
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:52,000
into view, it doesn't matter how
strong Buddhism is or Hinduism 

611
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,440
is. 
For even in India, in the Silcot

612
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,880
revival at the turn of the 20th 
century, Great Revival broke. 

613
00:38:58,880 --> 00:38:59,480
Out. 
Why? 

614
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,160
Because somebody named John Hyde
was burdened with God's 

615
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:04,960
heartbeat to pray. 
Why? 

616
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:10,760
Eternity became real to him. 
He left everything behind and he

617
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,040
went to a land that he knew 
nothing about. 

618
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:18,720
He said that that land needed 
Jesus, and he gave himself for 

619
00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:22,400
the. 
Purposes of the Lord what are we

620
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:28,180
living for guys listen may IGF 
Asia never be about wearing AT 

621
00:39:28,180 --> 00:39:33,920
shirt I love the T-shirts may it
never just be about a website or

622
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,160
and those things are. 
Important There's practical 

623
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:40,520
things that we have to do, but 
may the heartbeat, may the 

624
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,720
passion. 
Not just I may. 

625
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,480
May the heartbeat of Maranatha 
Family Church always be what 

626
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,280
Jason said. 
One more soul. 

627
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,560
Why? 
So that eternity is affected? 

628
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:57,240
Forever may it always be about a
people who understand that yes, 

629
00:39:57,240 --> 00:40:01,200
we can live bless lives. 
Listen, I love my life. 

630
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,960
I love fellowship. 
I, I love talking and and being 

631
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,280
with people like you. 
But at the end of the day, 

632
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,240
friend, I know I'm running a 
race. 

633
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,040
I'm 57 almost. 
I'm running a race. 

634
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,360
I've got a limited amount of 
time. 

635
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,320
I don't want to. 
I don't want to get to 65 and 75

636
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,080
and 85 and look back and see 
where I've wasted time. 

637
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,200
I'm not talking about some 
legalist. 

638
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:30,560
No, I'm talking about embracing 
intimacy with Jesus and seeing 

639
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:35,120
what God can do with the people 
that have an eternal mindset 

640
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:42,440
that God calls us to these 
deeper places that God is so 

641
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,240
faithful to his own glory, even 
when we're not. 

642
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,160
That in every generation we can 
see whether it's the Ignatius or

643
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,960
the Polycarps or even some that 
some movements like the Catholic

644
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,360
Church have claimed. 
But like Francis and and 

645
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,440
Patrick, these some of these 
individuals that really were not

646
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,600
Catholic like they say they are,
but some of these individuals 

647
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,720
who maintain the flame of God in
their. 

648
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:10,200
Hearts. 
Throughout history, even 

649
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,600
throughout the Dark Ages, 
there's always been someone or 

650
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,280
some group that was faithful to 
the call of. 

651
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,640
God. 
That there's always been 

652
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,960
individuals that were willing to
go deep when others stayed 

653
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,800
shallow. 
There's always been some that 

654
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,480
were willing to be awake when 
others wanted to just sleep 

655
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,880
spiritually. 
There's always been some that 

656
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,520
said Jesus. 
You're worthy of it all when 

657
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,160
others just said that's just too
radical for me. 

658
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:43,280
Even when eternity becomes real,
your life completely changes. 

659
00:41:43,720 --> 00:41:48,840
Listen, I, I think often times 
we look at these heroes of the 

660
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,280
faith, especially the martyrs, 
and we we we lift them up and 

661
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,760
and to a point understand that. 
But here's what I believe. 

662
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,800
I believe eternity becomes 
became surreal to these. 

663
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,600
People that they only had one 
option, that was obedience unto 

664
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,400
the Lord. 
And I also believe there was a 

665
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:11,960
grace even in their death. 
There was a a grace fueled with 

666
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,240
intimacy with Jesus. 
That's why men like John Huss, 

667
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,680
when he's being burned at the 
stake, he lifted up his, his 

668
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,440
hands that were melting 
literally the flesh, it says 

669
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,120
history. 
His flesh was melting. 

670
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,880
And he begins to slap his 
burning hands together and he 

671
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,040
begins to sing a song of the 
church. 

672
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,280
And they said that his voice was
so loud that it drowned out the 

673
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,320
the noise of the fire burning. 
And he's rejoicing as he enters 

674
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,680
into the presence of the. 
Why He's a man that kept his 

675
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,720
face on Jesus even in the midst 
of the flames. 

676
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,360
You see, there is a deeper place
that comes into view when 

677
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:52,400
eternity becomes real. 
When it's more than just singing

678
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,320
and preaching. 
It's more than just a conference

679
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,800
and AT shirt. 
It's real when you leave this 

680
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:04,720
place, if it's really going to 
be real, listen, listen. 

681
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:07,520
And I love this setting. 
I'm in these settings all the 

682
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,680
time. 
But listen to me, friend, may we

683
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,800
never be a people that just have
it in this place, Fire School of

684
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,160
ministry, Marin at the family 
church, IGF gathering. 

685
00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:22,440
But may we be a people that it's
more real tomorrow when we're in

686
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,880
the midst of our city and our 
our schools and our families and

687
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,360
our job. 
That's where eternity's changed.

688
00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:32,520
That's where men and women 
throughout history have made a 

689
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:37,440
commitment and even paid a price
that Jesus would be known. 

690
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,720
That he would be. 
Glorified and that he would be 

691
00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:44,960
seen. 
Is eternity real to us? 

692
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,720
This morning I want to just give
you 3 closing things. 

693
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:57,520
Number one, we must deliberately
live for eternity. 

694
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,360
Listen to what Paul told Timothy
in First Timothy 612. 

695
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,920
Fight the good fight of faith. 
Listen, take hold of eternal 

696
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,760
life to which you were called 
and about which you have made 

697
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,960
the good confession in the 
presence of ministry. 

698
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,840
What is Paul telling Timothy? 
Listen, you got to aggressively 

699
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,920
live for eternity. 
What does that mean? 

700
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:25,040
You must acquire and maintain a 
hatred for sin and compromise. 

701
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,560
Why? 
Because it keeps you from 

702
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,400
burning for Jesus. 
Why is sin so bad? 

703
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,480
Why is compromise so bad? 
Because it it it, it puts the 

704
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,160
flame of God. 
In your heart. 

705
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:38,800
Out. 
And it causes you to get 

706
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,600
distracted and you lose sight of
eternity. 

707
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,200
You got to be radical with 
certain things in your life. 

708
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,520
Listen as young people listen to
me tonight. 

709
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,800
You can't. 
Play around with sin. 

710
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,960
You can't come in here and 
worship and jump and dance and 

711
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,360
then live for yourself or for 
the devil the rest of the week. 

712
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,120
You got to get radical with sin,
not because it's legalism, but 

713
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,880
because you're protecting 
intimacy with. 

714
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:10,320
Jesus and you never want to lose
an eternal mindset, Paul said. 

715
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:16,320
Lay hold of eternal life, never 
let go of it. 

716
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,400
This and this is an active 
thing. 

717
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:23,000
This is not a passive 
Christianity, friend. 

718
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,640
Oh, I understand the blessings 
and the peace and that's all 

719
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,840
part of it. 
But at the same time, I also 

720
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,080
realize that, friend, we're in 
warfare this morning or this 

721
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,040
afternoon now. 
That we wrestle not against 

722
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,240
flesh and blood, but against 
principalities and power listen,

723
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,160
there are demonic spirits 
warring against this city, 

724
00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:44,400
against the young people of this
city, against families in this 

725
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,400
city, against ministries in this
city and who's going to make a 

726
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,040
difference? 
Those that have an. 

727
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:54,880
Eternal view, Those that stand 
in the place of intimacy with 

728
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:59,080
Lord, with the Lord, and as a 
result they bring the Kingdom of

729
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,880
heaven to bear in every aspect 
of culture and society. 

730
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,360
Normal Christianity, the Bible 
said. 

731
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,560
These early men and women of 
God, these early apostles, they 

732
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,160
turned the world. 
Upside down. 

733
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,200
Why? 
Because they carried eternity in

734
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,560
their hearts. 
They were not swayed by sin. 

735
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:25,120
Know they were tempted where we 
can all be tempted. 

736
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,680
I understand that, but Paul said
there's no temptation taken you 

737
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,680
but such as common to man, but 
God is. 

738
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,320
Faithful who will not allow you 
to be tempted about that you're 

739
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:39,000
able, but will also with the 
temptation make a way to escape 

740
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:43,440
that you may be able to bear it.
Listen friend, there is freedom 

741
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,240
from sin when eternity is real 
to you. 

742
00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:51,680
When Jesus is the passion of 
your heart, He empowers you. 

743
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,800
Even when the enemy comes in 
like a flood, that Spirit of God

744
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,560
raises up a standard on the 
inside of you. 

745
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:03,200
And resist the enemy, resist the
lust of the flesh and all those 

746
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,080
things that keep us from having 
an eternal mindset. 

747
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,960
There's a deeper place this 
morning, guys. 

748
00:47:11,240 --> 00:47:20,200
There's a deeper place #2 we 
have to walk and live in the 

749
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,120
Spirit in order to have proper 
vision. 

750
00:47:24,720 --> 00:47:28,000
A lot of people want the world 
through the week and then they 

751
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,200
want to come into a place like 
this and see what God's doing 

752
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:32,880
and be involved in this at the 
same time. 

753
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,960
I know you, you've got to 
steward this. 

754
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,720
Let let me read this for we know
that this is Second Corinthians 

755
00:47:38,720 --> 00:47:42,680
5 verses one through 10. 
For we know that if the tent 

756
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,640
that is our earthly home is 
destroyed, we have a building 

757
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,680
from God, a house not made with 
hands eternal in the heavens. 

758
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,760
For in this tent or in this body
we groan, longing to put on our 

759
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,800
earthly dwelling, if indeed by 
putting it on we may not be 

760
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,360
found naked. 
For while we are, it's still in 

761
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,840
this body or in this tent, we 
groan, being burdened, not that 

762
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,040
we would be unclothed, but that 
we would be further clothed, so 

763
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,440
that what is mortal may be 
swallowed up by life. 

764
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,760
He who has prepared us for this 
very thing is God, who has given

765
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,280
us a spirit as a guarantee. 
So we are always of good 

766
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,080
courage. 
We know that while we are at 

767
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,920
home in the body, we are away 
from the Lord. 

768
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,080
For we walk by faith, not by 
sight. 

769
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,480
Yes, we are of good courage, and
we would rather be away from the

770
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,200
body and at the home, at home 
with the Lord. 

771
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,520
So whether we are at home, home 
or away, we make it our aim to 

772
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,520
what to please Him. 
For we must all appear but for 

773
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,800
the judgment seat of Christ, so 
that each one may receive what 

774
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:42,280
is due for what He has done in 
the body, whether good or evil. 

775
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,880
Listen, I understand that we are
seated with Christ in heavenly 

776
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,560
places. 
I also understand that we are 

777
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:51,600
still in these mortal bodies, 
even though we are people of the

778
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,040
Spirit. 
In an eschatological. 

779
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:58,800
Way and in other words, in when 
we look at eschatology, where 

780
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,000
we're at in history in an 
eschatological way, we are the 

781
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,960
already but the not yet people. 
What do I mean by? 

782
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,680
That we have been sealed by the 
Holy Spirit. 

783
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,880
We are a fulfillment of the Old 
Testament Jewish prophets. 

784
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:16,280
At the same time, Israel still 
will come into their own and a 

785
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,680
great salvation according to 
Romans 11. 

786
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,280
I don't have time to talk about 
all that, but listen to me as 

787
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:22,120
the. 
Church. 

788
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:27,160
As the Church of the Lord Jesus 
Christ, we are sealed by the 

789
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,960
power and with the Holy Spirit. 
It goes back even to the day of 

790
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:35,680
Pentecost, that great outpouring
that the prophecy of Joel was 

791
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,040
fulfilled. 
There was something that took 

792
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,560
place. 
So we are already in this 

793
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,920
Kingdom. 
We are already purchased with 

794
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:46,000
the blood of Jesus. 
However, there is something on 

795
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,240
the inside of us. 
If we have eternity in view, we 

796
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:53,360
are groaning for that deeper 
experience, that final 

797
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,680
consummation when we put off 
mortality and we put on 

798
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,360
immortality, according to 
Thessalonians, has spirit bodies

799
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,520
that we are in the presence of 
the Lord forever. 

800
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:08,640
But while we are in this body, 
we aim to please Him by his 

801
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,920
power, by His love, and through 
his. 

802
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:16,600
Grace and through the power of 
the Holy Spirit, our perception,

803
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,480
our view. 
Our understanding is eternal. 

804
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,520
We are in this world, we are in 
this tent, but we are not of 

805
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:28,080
this world. 
Our citizenship is heavenly. 

806
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,680
Our home is beyond this natural 
world. 

807
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:36,040
So while we're here, friend. 
God gives us grace. 

808
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,240
He gives us family, the family 
of God. 

809
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,600
He gives us leaders that can 
help us. 

810
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,880
He gives us brothers and sisters
that can stand with us. 

811
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:50,680
He gives us the amazing 
opportunity to know Him in 

812
00:50:50,720 --> 00:50:53,440
prayer. 
He gives us worship settings 

813
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,000
like this morning. 
What do we do? 

814
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:59,040
We take advantage then why? 
So that we can please him, so 

815
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,520
that when we stand at the 
judgement seat of Christ as Paul

816
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,280
says, and and we look into the 
eyes of the. 

817
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:11,480
Lord, we can say Jesus, we were 
faithful, not not we had a big 

818
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,760
who cares how big our ministry? 
His friend, if God calls you to 

819
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,200
minister to five people or 50 
people, that's success. 

820
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:22,120
If God's called you to do. 
That what matters is that 

821
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:27,920
eternity beats in your hearts. 
One more thing and you can stand

822
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,960
with me. 
I told you I wouldn't be that 

823
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:35,120
long. 
You can stand if we could have 

824
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:41,120
maybe our sister come back to 
the keyboard number. 

825
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:47,640
Lastly, this morning, for us to 
maintain an eternal mindset or 

826
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:53,040
an eternal mindset or paradigm 
or perception, we must become 

827
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:59,840
misfits in a world of 
misfortune, misery, and 

828
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,120
misunderstanding. 
What I mean by misfits, friend, 

829
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:07,080
we don't fit into this world. 
If we do, there's something 

830
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,000
wrong. 
Again, we are in the world, but 

831
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,400
we are not of. 
They'll come out from among them

832
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,760
and be separate. 
It's not that we are pious and 

833
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,560
elite and we put our no, for 
we're supposed to be the most 

834
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,880
loving, the most compassionate, 
the most welcoming. 

835
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:26,360
Listen, except for the love of 
Jesus, this former drug addict, 

836
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,520
sex addict, I mean, I, I can go 
into a lot of stuff. 

837
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,680
Friend, I would not be standing 
before you in Davao City this 

838
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,400
morning. 
It's love and mercy. 

839
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:38,360
And that family welcomed me in, 
in Florida on January the 24th 

840
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:42,040
of 1985. 
But at the same time, I can't 

841
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,080
become like the world to reach 
the World. 

842
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,680
If we're not different, then 
what are we winning them to? 

843
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,760
If I'm not getting drunk and 
partying and and and watching 

844
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,520
pornography, what's the 
difference between what I have 

845
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:56,680
and what they have? 
None. 

846
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:02,840
If we're not different, If we've
not been branded by the fire of 

847
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:03,480
God. 
And. 

848
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:08,160
If our hearts are not burning 
for intimacy fueled holiness, 

849
00:53:08,240 --> 00:53:11,280
then we're not even born again, 
Paul said. 

850
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:15,680
Listen, when you're truly born 
again, you become a new 

851
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:19,240
creature, a new creation. 
All things are passed away. 

852
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:22,000
Behold, all things become new. 
That's salvation friend. 

853
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,880
I don't have time to talk about 
so that's a multi hour teaching.

854
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:29,880
But listen, salvation is not 
just one time coming to the 

855
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:33,040
altar and crying. 
Because you feel something for 

856
00:53:33,240 --> 00:53:37,720
salvation is an initial 
experience, but then you fall in

857
00:53:37,720 --> 00:53:42,080
love with this young, passionate
Jewish man named Jesus Christ of

858
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,880
Nazareth, and he becomes more 
and more beautiful and more and 

859
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:50,400
more powerful and more and more 
lovely, and you fall head over 

860
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,320
heels for him. 
You're saved. 

861
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:58,360
You're being saved. 
And there's a final consummation

862
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,680
where you will ultimately be 
saved. 

863
00:54:01,720 --> 00:54:06,560
Right now, friend, we are in 
that process where our spirit 

864
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:10,360
man is landlocked to these 
bodies or we we have a tent, a 

865
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,520
body. 
But we cry out for that greater 

866
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,160
experience. 
And what does it do? 

867
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:21,160
It motivates us to. 
Pray to win the lost. 

868
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:23,800
It motivates us that you know 
what? 

869
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,280
They can call me foolish. 
They can make fun of me. 

870
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,200
Matter of fact, Jesus said it 
this way. 

871
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,320
John 1518 and 19. 
Some of the most challenging 

872
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:35,320
verses in the Bible. 
If the world hates, you, know 

873
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,000
that it hated. 
Me before it hated you. 

874
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:43,000
If you were of the world, the 
world would love you as its own.

875
00:54:43,720 --> 00:54:46,800
But because you are not of the 
world, but I chose you out of 

876
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:53,160
the world, therefore. 
The world hates you, friend, if 

877
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:57,160
the life that you live before 
Jesus does not bring an offense 

878
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:58,360
to that. 
And again, I'm not talking about

879
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:02,400
being belligerent or legalistic,
but our lives should. 

880
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:06,760
Touch. 
The world they should see 

881
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:12,200
there's something radically 
different about who we are. 

882
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:14,680
Listen, Eric can testify to 
this. 

883
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:20,680
Jason Joey Casey how many nights
and I got to Browns were early 

884
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:26,440
in 1996 how many nights did the 
gospel confront the. 

885
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:30,880
Heart of the. 
Sinner, it didn't soothe them in

886
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,000
their rebellion, though they 
were separated from God. 

887
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,440
If our gospel and our walk with 
Jesus does not confront a world 

888
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:42,160
of sin, it is another gospel. 
That's why Paul said if you're 

889
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,000
going to live godly in Christ 
Jesus, you will suffer 

890
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:46,400
persecution. 
Why not? 

891
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,160
Because you feel and look like 
the world? 

892
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:52,000
No, because you're different. 
Because eternity is your native 

893
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,040
error. 
Because the breath of eternity 

894
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:59,920
comes out of you when you pray, 
when you speak, when you love 

895
00:55:59,920 --> 00:56:03,040
people there, there's something 
different about the love that 

896
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,200
comes out of you. 
It's an eternal love. 

897
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:07,520
It's not just wanting to feel 
good. 

898
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,920
No, it's wanting their souls to 
be radically transformed by the 

899
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,600
blood of Jesus. 
Normal Christianity. 

900
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,560
We're misfits. 
We don't fit in this world, but 

901
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:21,080
we're in this world. 
We're pilgrims. 

902
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:27,840
Passing through and we got a 
job, we got a role, we've got a 

903
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,760
mandate. 
There's a cost, there's a 

904
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:37,040
mission and there's a mandate. 
The cost is you got to pick up 

905
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:41,040
your cross and die to you so 
that God can really use you. 

906
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,280
The mission is make disciples of
all the nations. 

907
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:49,840
The mandate is Stewart, your 
walk with Jesus. 

908
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,440
It's worth everything. 
It is everything. 

909
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:59,480
Without it, my friend, nothing 
really matters eternally in the 

910
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,160
light of eternity, It's the only
thing that matters. 

911
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:09,160
I want to close with two quotes.
There's a missionary that I'm 

912
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,320
sure if you've been a Fire 
School of minister, you've heard

913
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,240
of this man. 
His name was Jim Elliott. 

914
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:21,760
He was martyred by the Alka 
Indians in Ecuador in the 1950s.

915
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:25,360
Came here exactly what year? 
There's a famous quote. 

916
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,720
This went around the Browns of 
Revival, the Browns of Revival 

917
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:29,320
School of Ministry. 
I've never forgot it. 

918
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:34,640
I quoted it often. 
Jim Elliott said he is no fool 

919
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:39,640
who gives up what he cannot keep
to gain what he cannot lose. 

920
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:44,360
Let me ask you a question. 
What are you holding on to this 

921
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:48,480
morning? 
Maybe you're offended at 

922
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,920
somebody, Friend, Is that worth 
you losing your eternal mindset 

923
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,880
and your intimacy with Jesus? 
I don't have time to talk about 

924
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,160
Revelation chapter 2 and our 
first love. 

925
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,360
But friend, what's more 
important than your first love? 

926
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,520
Nothing. 
Listen, I let nothing come 

927
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,680
between me and my wife. 
I'll be honest with you. 

928
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:12,880
When I was young and dumb, 
especially pastor, I sort of 

929
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:16,640
pastor in a church when I was 19
years old, was I ready? 

930
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,560
Probably not, but God put me in 
there. 

931
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,200
But you know, there were times 
when I would allow people to 

932
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,720
kind of sway me. 
You know, they, they didn't like

933
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,080
my wife or they didn't like me 
or whatever. 

934
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,400
And I was just so young. 
And now I'm like, in the name of

935
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:30,720
Jesus, I'm not going to listen 
to that. 

936
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:33,920
You're not going to separate me 
from my wife. 

937
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,600
We're one. 
And if you don't like her, then 

938
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,840
I don't need your pulpit or your
or your or your honorarium or 

939
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:42,200
your offer. 
I could care less. 

940
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,280
You understand other words. 
There's and there comes a time 

941
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,840
on your walk with Jesus where 
nothing is going to separate you

942
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:49,840
from Jesus. 
Nothing. 

943
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:55,720
Not family, not friends, not 
fortune or fame or opportunity. 

944
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,800
Can I tell you something and I 
won't go into I've turned down 

945
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:03,360
multiple ministry opportunities 
where I could have been making a

946
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:07,440
lot of money and had a big old 
church if I would have just calm

947
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,160
things down like talking about. 
The blood because that makes 

948
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,960
people feel uncomfortable, and 
the cross and I just said thank 

949
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:18,840
you but no thank you friend. 
What can separate you from the 

950
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,880
love of Jesus? 
Listen, Paul said this. 

951
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,200
And why did he say it? 
Because he had the opportunity 

952
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,640
to do it. 
He said I am not ashamed of the 

953
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,200
gospel. 
Why did he say that? 

954
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,160
Because he had opportunities to 
be ashamed of the gospel. 

955
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:36,200
You got an opportunity every day
to be ashamed of the gospel. 

956
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:41,080
Let me tell you something. 
When you see Jesus, when you see

957
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:47,120
Jesus, when he becomes real to 
you, friend, the gospel becomes 

958
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:48,320
your. 
Heartbeat. 

959
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:54,040
And it doesn't matter if they 
hit you, throw rocks at you. 

960
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:59,960
I was, I was witnessing Atlanta,
GA one night to a transvestite. 

961
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,680
And he went and just spit right 
in my face. 

962
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:08,200
And it was nasty. 
But I knew that it was just a 

963
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,640
badge that I would wear for the 
honor of the Lord. 

964
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:15,040
Not ashamed of the Gospel, not 
ashamed to. 

965
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:21,120
Tell the world that Jesus saves.
That one day you'll stand before

966
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:22,560
your Creator. 
You got a choice. 

967
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:26,640
You can stand at the great right
throne judgment as a Sinner, or 

968
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:30,080
you can stand at the judgment 
seat of Christ as a believer and

969
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,280
see the reward and the blessing 
of the Lord upon your. 

970
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:39,640
Faithfulness, the Gospel. 
One more quote and I'm closing 

971
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:46,000
Justin Martyr, he said. 
Now it is evident that no one 

972
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,200
can terrify this is. 
Back at the birth are they right

973
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,040
into the beginning of the 2nd 
century, So the Church was still

974
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,000
very early. 
Now it is evident that no one 

975
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:59,240
can terrify us or subdue us who 
have believed in Jesus. 

976
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:04,000
For though we are beheaded and 
crucified and exposed to wild 

977
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:08,440
beasts and chains and fire and 
all other forms of torture, it 

978
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,640
is plain that we do not forsake 
the confession of our faith. 

979
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,760
But the more things of this kind
which happened to us, the more 

980
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:20,040
are there others who become 
believers and truly committed 

981
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:22,960
into the name and through the 
name of Jesus Christ. 

982
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,880
The more persecution, the deeper
the intimacy. 

983
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,160
We see this in the Chinese 
church. 

984
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,280
We see this in the Church of 
Iran right now. 

985
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,920
I watched a video that somebody 
sent me yesterday. 

986
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,640
Where? 
In the streets of Tehran 2 days 

987
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,880
ago. 
A young man began to speak. 

988
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,360
He was speaking in Farsi, but 
there were other people that did

989
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,440
not understand Farsi and he was 
preaching the gospel. 

990
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,280
And about 3 or 400 or more 
people gathered and they said 

991
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,960
the thing that was supernatural 
and they were kind of reported 

992
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,880
on this is that people there 
understood four or five 

993
01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:02,440
different languages and he was 
preaching in Farsi. 

994
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,480
But they they heard it in Arabic
and they heard it in other 

995
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,600
languages while he was preaching
in Farsi. 

996
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:16,400
The power of the gospel. 
Our God's a God of signs and 

997
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:21,840
wonders and miracles. 
We listen, we limit His glory 

998
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:26,800
because of our compromise and 
because of our distractions and 

999
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:30,080
because of our lack of eternity 
being the thing that possesses. 

1000
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:33,400
Our heart we we limit his power.
He's present, we fit. 

1001
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:36,840
No, I'm talking about signs and 
wonders and miracles. 

1002
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:42,360
I'm talking about. 
Look of Acts and that's who 

1003
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,320
we're called to be. 
How do we live that way? 

1004
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:50,040
We embrace eternity. 
I'm going to close with the 

1005
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,640
words of the greatest man that 
ever walked the face of the 

1006
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,320
earth who will return on the 
Mount of Olives one day. 

1007
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:02,000
Jesus said, Behold, I come 
quickly, and my reward is with 

1008
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,360
me to render to every man 
according to what? 

1009
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,320
He has done Keith. 
It's not about works. 

1010
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:12,600
Tell that to Jesus. 
I understand we don't get saved 

1011
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:14,280
by words, but let me tell you 
something. 

1012
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:18,960
If eternity is real to you, and 
if you're a child of God, you 

1013
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:23,280
got to do something for Jesus. 
You got to go when he says to 

1014
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:26,640
go, Jesus said. 
I will render to every man 

1015
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:28,640
according to what he's done.
