1
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,240
All right, if you have your 
Bibles, turn over to 1st John 

2
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:22,920
chapter 2. 
I'm excited today because who I 

3
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:31,800
am today, probably there's an 
individual in my life that 

4
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,400
probably did more in my life 
than they know this side of 

5
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,200
heaven. 
Now they are in heaven and they 

6
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:45,400
may know today. 
But you know, I'm appreciative 

7
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,200
of the ministers that God has 
placed in my life that still 

8
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,920
invest in my life. 
But Pastor David EMI. 

9
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,680
He was amazing to me. 
I'm not the only one in the room

10
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,680
that he was my pastor. 
Randy and Melanie, they were 

11
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,520
Word of life fellowship for how 
many years before he moved here?

12
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,600
23 years, 23 years they were 
there. 

13
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,880
That's where I met their family.
Joshua was in their son. 

14
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,400
Joshua was in the youth ministry
when I became the youth pastor. 

15
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,520
I only youth pastored at that 
church for three years. 

16
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,120
And I remember the day that 
Pastor David interviewed me, I 

17
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,880
think it was in November when 
they flew me up maybe. 

18
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,480
And I came and my wife and I met
with the board and the staff and

19
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,040
he had some conversations with 
me and different things. 

20
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,320
And I remember he asked me the 
question in the office. 

21
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,080
He said, do you believe your 
pastor one day? 

22
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,360
And I said, yes, Sir, I do. 
Now, honestly, I tried to do the

23
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,720
pastoring first. 
My wife and I had just graduated

24
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,040
from Raymond 2000, and I was 
personally tired of moving my 

25
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,720
family around so much. 
I'm like, let let's go do what 

26
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,720
we know we're supposed to do. 
We're going to go past. 

27
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,160
We're going to start a church. 
However, the timing is not 

28
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,400
there. 
Just because you know something 

29
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,800
don't mean you should do 
something. 

30
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,640
And I knew from God I would 
pastor a church. 

31
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:19,040
I would start one and I wanted 
to do that. 

32
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,800
So I came back to Florida, was 
going to plant a church in 

33
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,400
Gainesville and started to 
develop a little bit of a team 

34
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,160
that was going to go and 
actually had a job in 

35
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,440
Gainesville. 
I was looking for property. 

36
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,960
I actually looked at a theater 
that was no longer a theater to 

37
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,520
go into it and rent it. 
Ironically speaking, here we 

38
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,760
are. 
I was just off a few years and 

39
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,120
in the wrong city, but when I 
was there, the Lord spoke to me 

40
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,320
and he says you're not ready, 
you need to go get on staff. 

41
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,640
And so there was another 
location that I do believe that 

42
00:02:57,640 --> 00:02:59,960
the Lord had an assignment for 
me. 

43
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,040
However, some people needed to 
move in order for that to take 

44
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,720
place. 
They did not move. 

45
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,360
So God move me. 
I know this is true because when

46
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,080
I came back to Pastor Anchor 
Faith Church here, I ran into 

47
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,360
the individuals that needed to 
move out of the position so I 

48
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,920
could be in that position. 
And when I went back to that 

49
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:24,560
particular church, they said, 
ah, we are leaving going to 

50
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,120
start a work in a particular 
country and we should have done 

51
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,560
it three years ago. 
If we had, you probably would 

52
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,720
have been in this position that 
we're in today. 

53
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,040
You understand God won't make 
people move. 

54
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,200
And so we had an assignment 
where I didn't have to leave the

55
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,280
state before we came here. 
Unfortunately, because they 

56
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,760
didn't, God upgraded. 
I call it an upgrade and I'm 

57
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,520
convinced of that today. 
He upgraded me. 

58
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,000
And so we ended up going back to
Oklahoma where this pastor by 

59
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,560
the name of David E my hired me.
Now I'm going to be honest with 

60
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,920
you. 
I was different as a gift for 

61
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,640
Word of Life. 
Word of Life Pastor David is a 

62
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,840
phenomenal teacher, man. 
He could teach the word line 

63
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,600
upon line, precept upon precept.
And I'll be honest with you, 

64
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,360
most teaching gift pastors love 
the teaching gift and that's 

65
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,440
typically who fills their 
pulpits. 

66
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,640
I, on the other hand, was a 
preacher. 

67
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:26,120
Totally different style. 
Nothing the church was used to 

68
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,480
at all. 
But you know, I was ignorant of 

69
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,520
that fact. 
And he had not heard me preach 

70
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,400
really. 
So I think we were all surprised

71
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,400
at the end of the day. 
But we were the right gift. 

72
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,080
He knew and I knew it. 
But I'll never forget. 

73
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,680
He asked me. 
He said, do you believe you, 

74
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,200
pastor? 
I said, yes Sir, I do. 

75
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,360
He said, well then I'll train 
you to be a pastor. 

76
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,040
Wow. 
And man, he opened the door for 

77
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,800
me in a lot of areas. 
The advantage that I had right 

78
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,680
out the gate is the youth 
ministry wasn't even in the 

79
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,000
church. 
It wasn't even in the building. 

80
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,080
It was a mile and a half away. 
And so, you know, we could treat

81
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,200
it like it was his own church to
a degree, although you never 

82
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,920
knew that because I always said 
the depot was the ministry of 

83
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,200
Word, life, fellowship. 
And so we always kept bridging 

84
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:18,240
the gap. 
But he went on to be with the 

85
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,680
Lord. 
I can't remember what year now. 

86
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,360
Do you remember 2011? 
Really. 

87
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:37,480
Wow, 2011. 
And the church that he planned 

88
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,760
in Sand Springs, OK, is totally 
different today. 

89
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,480
But I ran across a minister 
who's in Tulsa still. 

90
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,960
His name is James Johnson and 
James Johnson was given the 

91
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:55,240
rights to his material, his 
books, and I said James, if 

92
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,000
you'll allow me, I'll get his 
books and print. 

93
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,600
The world needs to still hear 
his voice. 

94
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,800
I think he did 4 books and today
I have his first book. 

95
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,280
Knowing the father, I really 
encourage you to get a copy of 

96
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:15,520
this. 
So we obviously have it on sale 

97
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,240
today for 10 bucks. 
Could I have given it away? 

98
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,000
Yes. 
But the reality is you should 

99
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,280
invest in your life. 
I will give 2 away to some 

100
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:28,800
fathers because I have two books
up here. 

101
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,640
And so I'm going to give those 
away. 

102
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,840
So if I can get Nick to help me 
out here and Brian, if you'll 

103
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:38,120
help me out here, I put the 
burden on you. 

104
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:45,160
You decide what man gets that 
all right and give those away. 

105
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,760
So I'm going to be. 
Speaking in line with this, 

106
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:58,440
because Pastor David was a man 
who grew in his relationship 

107
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,200
with his father. 
He was a drug addict. 

108
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,040
I'll never forget Pastor David 
told me one time, he said, now, 

109
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,160
Pastor, when I was in the Army, 
I did some drugs, really bad 

110
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,800
drugs. 
He said, I remember one time 

111
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,520
because it's during the 70s. 
He said, I think it was over in 

112
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,040
Germany at the time. 
And he said, you know, our 

113
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,480
hallways were brown and orange. 
That was the colors back then 

114
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,320
and he said the doors were 
orange and he said I was 

115
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:28,200
tripping on some LSD coming in 
and he said the doors turned 

116
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,800
into tongues. 
He said I had a friend of mine 

117
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,240
that was in the service that 
went on a trip and he never came

118
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:41,080
back. 
So he lived a rough life, grew 

119
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:47,080
up in West Tulsa, and God 
radically delivered him, changed

120
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,560
his life. 
He was a stocky man, probably 

121
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,640
511, I would say, you know, 
barrel chest is real stocky, had

122
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,120
a full beard. 
If you get the book, you'll see 

123
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,440
his face in the back. 
But he grew through the years 

124
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,240
and I think there was a lot that
God had to knock off him. 

125
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,840
He was a tough guy and he had to
knock some things off, you know,

126
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,880
and as a pastor, you know, when 
you first start, you know, 

127
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,840
there's things that God. 
That's why we always say I'll be

128
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,600
a better pastor in five years, 
you know, because you're 

129
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,640
growing. 
I'm not saying that the man was 

130
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,440
in sin. 
I'm just saying that the man had

131
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,840
to grow in his relationship with
God and how he dealt with 

132
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,480
people. 
The problem was is that he, 

133
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,760
which isn't, which is, you know,
not always common, but he had 

134
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,760
staff that had been with him a 
while, which means they saw the 

135
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,840
growth process. 
And so when I came in at his 

136
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:42,039
20th year, I was hired at his 
20th year, the staff had things 

137
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:50,880
to tell me about their pastor. 
I learned some lessons pretty 

138
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,160
quick. 
And they would tell me about how

139
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,360
he would respond in certain. 
Things. 

140
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,600
You know, and almost. 
Warning me to a degree. 

141
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,800
But you know, I was young, 2830,
I was 30 when I took the 

142
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,400
position. 
And I just decided I'll apply 

143
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,400
this part of love. 
Love believes the best. 

144
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,240
Because at the end of the day, 
I'm going to take my own 

145
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,160
relationship with him for it. 
Not just your word. 

146
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,800
Not just your word. 
OK. 

147
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:38,280
And so I had AI just hung out 
with him. 

148
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,440
Pastor asked me to go work out 
with him one time. 

149
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:46,840
I said sure, I love to work out.
He liked to work out. 

150
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,400
Nobody else on staff worked out.
Nobody. 

151
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,760
You know, me developing and 
walking with him this way put me

152
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,600
a little bit at. 
Odds with the staff. 

153
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:09,320
I was known as the Golden Boy. 
Now that wasn't a compliment, 

154
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,920
but that's OK. 
At the end of the day, I just 

155
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,960
wanted to know the man for 
himself. 

156
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,240
I realized pretty quick that 
Pastor David didn't care to 

157
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:28,520
confront. 
That was his least enjoyable 

158
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,680
part of pastoring, and when he 
realized I didn't seem to have a

159
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:40,720
problem with it, he enlisted me.
I think Randy used to do it 

160
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,200
first. 
And then I showed up and I took 

161
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:48,120
the title and so he would have 
me confront. 

162
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,960
Now, it's easy to confront when 
you're not the person, when 

163
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,680
you're not the final say I mean.
Pastor told me to have a 

164
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:55,880
conversation, you know. 
Well, here we are. 

165
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,080
Let's go. 
You know, let's talk, let's talk

166
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,720
about your life and let's do it 
in line with the word. 

167
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:04,320
And, you know, so obviously 
you're there to try to get them 

168
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,880
to a whole another place because
again, when someone's correcting

169
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,000
you or you're being confronted, 
it's because they're trying to 

170
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,480
get the best out of you, you 
know, And so Pastor would use me

171
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,840
along those lines. 
Not only do you allow me to do 

172
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,120
youth ministry, but he allowed 
me to go into young adults. 

173
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,440
I ended up going into prisons. 
I went into the three prison 

174
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,120
systems. 
I mean, man, we were doing so 

175
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,880
much. 
He let me do men's ministry with

176
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,680
him. 
I had a ball with Pastor David 

177
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:29,040
EMI. 
He was. 

178
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,240
He was never the guy I was told 
he was. 

179
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,080
I was never the guy. 
He was never that guy. 

180
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,560
And I concluded if he had been, 
he's grown. 

181
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,480
And the problem, that's the 
lesson I learned by being on 

182
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:52,120
staff was don't hold a person in
a position they were at some 

183
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,680
point in their lives because 
they can grow and be different 

184
00:11:55,680 --> 00:12:00,240
if you will allow them. 
And you know what's crazy, I 

185
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,960
learned that on staff is that 
it's amazing how the Saints want

186
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,240
the pastors to grow to for the 
past to accept them and their. 

187
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,560
Growth process. 
But the Saints won't reciprocate

188
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:15,840
that for the pastors. 
We need to fix that. 

189
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,520
And so I realized that the 
person they told me he was was 

190
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,280
never the person. 
And if again, if he had been, 

191
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,240
he's grown past this and I never
experienced that man. 

192
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,400
Now, did he correct me? 
Yes. 

193
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,920
I remember the time he had to 
confront me about something and 

194
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,720
you know, he wasn't real 
comfortable about it, but I gave

195
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:46,000
him great comfort. 
I said Pastor, I have 1000 ideas

196
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,200
for the vision of. 
We're life fellowship if you 

197
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,120
don't like. 
It just say it. 

198
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,240
We'll throw it out and I'll 
bring another one. 

199
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,200
It doesn't bother me. 
You have the final say. 

200
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,840
I'm good boy. 
He fell back in his seat. 

201
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,520
He was so excited, you know, 
because at the end of the day, 

202
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,560
you're the pastor. 
I am here to run in this vision 

203
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:12,360
with you. 
And if the idea doesn't stick, 

204
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,400
don't do it. 
Now let me tell you. 

205
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,000
About the idea that I had, the 
idea that I had is that we ran 

206
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,120
to services, his wife did the 
worship and I suggested someone 

207
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,800
else do worship for the early 
service. 

208
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,640
She sang the contemporary songs.
They just came out Grand Ole 

209
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,520
Opry. 
It was just a style. 

210
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,680
Now, was it effective? 
Yes. 

211
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:38,240
The church grew. 
It was effective. 

212
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,360
And it's in Oklahoma, people. 
OK. 

213
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,520
I mean, it's Cowboys and all 
that kind of stuff, right? 

214
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,640
So it was effective. 
However, I knew there was a 

215
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,920
group that it needed a different
sound. 

216
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,280
And if we're talking about how 
to grow, it's an idea. 

217
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,720
Well. 
They that idea got shot down, 

218
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,520
but after I left, I think it was
maybe a year or two, the person 

219
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,080
I suggested to do worship in the
first service they did. 

220
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,640
So sometimes the God idea is not
for when you're there. 

221
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,520
Anyway. 
And I was never offended by 

222
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,040
that. 
Why? 

223
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,600
Because I'm just here to help. 
Pastor David was amazing man to 

224
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,600
me and I cannot recommend his 
materials more. 

225
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,640
I remember when I went to Paul, 
Albania for the first time. 

226
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,720
And I went to. 
Pastor fought mirrors church we 

227
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,120
going to preach. 
Just hold on a second. 

228
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,560
I'm gigging me back stories. 
I went to Pastor Fought Mirrors 

229
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,600
Church and I remember walking in
and all of a sudden here are 

230
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,800
Pastor David's books in Albania.
And I was like, how do you know 

231
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,720
this guy? 
And he's like, oh, he came over 

232
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,440
often. 
And then I remember when I was 

233
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:55,560
on staff, Albania had just 
opened up not too long and he 

234
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,160
was going over and he was 
training the first generation 

235
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,240
pastors. 
This is why I support Pastor 

236
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,560
Fatmir today is because Pastor 
David is no longer with us. 

237
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,280
He's no longer supporting, nor 
is the church. 

238
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,520
And so I said I'll continue what
he started. 

239
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:20,480
Now there's a pastor in Africa 
right now that pastor used to do

240
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,680
some things with, and I'm 
praying about whether I should 

241
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,600
continue the course. 
Now why would I do that 'cause I

242
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:35,480
honor my father in the faith, 
who did more for me to develop 

243
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,040
me as a pastor than anyone else 
still to this day. 

244
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:48,560
He did more for me in those 
three years, even by not 

245
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:54,440
instructing, just giving me the 
latitude to hear God. 

246
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,760
It's amazing what He did in my 
life, and I'm very thankful and 

247
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,440
grateful for him. 
And His voice is necessary. 

248
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,160
And so I'm going to reproduce 
all of his books, and we're 

249
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,080
going to sell them here, and I'm
going to take them wherever I go

250
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,440
because his voice is necessary. 
So I encourage you to pick up 

251
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,960
his book, Knowing the Father. 
First. 

252
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,440
John chapter 2, verse 15 to 17 
says this. 

253
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,080
Do not love the world nor the 
things of this world. 

254
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,320
In this world. 
If anyone loves the world, the 

255
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,480
love of the Father is not in 
Him. 

256
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,920
For all that is in the world, 
the lust of the flesh, the lust 

257
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,280
of the eyes, the boastful pride 
of life is not from the Father, 

258
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,800
but it is from the world. 
The world is passing away and 

259
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,640
also its lust, but the one who 
does the will of God. 

260
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:47,320
Lives How long? 
Smith Wigglesworth said this, I 

261
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,440
cannot understand, he said. 
I cannot understand God by 

262
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,280
impressions. 
I cannot understand God by 

263
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,880
feelings I cannot get to know 
Him by. 

264
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,000
Sentiments. 
If I am going to know God, I'm 

265
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,839
going to have to know Him from 
His Word, for He is everything 

266
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:10,720
the Word says He is, and He will
do everything the Word says He 

267
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,720
will do. 
In order for you to know your 

268
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,040
Heavenly Father, you cannot look
at the world. 

269
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,680
It's impossible to find Him in 
the world. 

270
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,720
He's not here, He's not in the 
world, he's not of the world. 

271
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,840
And you cannot. 
And as great as even today 

272
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,280
natural men can be to do the 
best they can to model our 

273
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:48,520
Heavenly Father, they still fail
in comparison to to how the word

274
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:49,800
describes. 
Him. 

275
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,320
It is only through the Word that
you can find and know the 

276
00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:02,920
character and heart of your 
Heavenly Father and many again, 

277
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,840
if I had Pastor Mike come up 
today, he would be an 

278
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,640
encyclopedia of information 
concerning the attack on manhood

279
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:16,120
and the role of the Father. 
The minute the enemy can come 

280
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:22,080
into a society and downgrade the
need for a father, if he can 

281
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:27,560
destroy the father in the whole,
then he has the greatest chance 

282
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,120
of destroying the whole family. 
In fact, the church puts a lot 

283
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:35,320
of investment in children. 
Yet if a child is born again, 

284
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,560
what is it? 
It's still like, you know, small

285
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,720
percentage. 
I mean it's less than 50. 

286
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,760
I think it's like in the 20% 
range that the family would be 

287
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,680
changed if the wife and it could
even be single digits. 

288
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,200
If the wife is born again, it is
still small percentage that it 

289
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,640
will change the household. 
But if the father is born again,

290
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:00,320
the percentage is like in the 
80. 

291
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:05,120
Percentile that the whole family
will become born again. 

292
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:13,760
That is amazing, the influence 
of a father in the home, yet our

293
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:19,320
heavenly Father has never blown 
it, never made a mistake, never.

294
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,960
He's amazing, and in order for 
you to know him, you're going to

295
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,600
have to go to the Bible. 
Pastor David EMI said it this 

296
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,320
way. 
To recognize God's will for Adam

297
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,400
is to recognize God's will for 
believers. 

298
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,280
Today. 
He highlighted that if you want 

299
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:44,040
to see or get to know your 
Father, the first thing you're 

300
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,760
going to need to do is go back 
to the Book of Beginnings. 

301
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:52,160
Oh, it's very good, because when
we go back to the Book of 

302
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:57,280
Beginnings, when God is dealing 
from a Father perspective with 

303
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,320
humanity, we get the clearest 
picture of who He is. 

304
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,560
Let's look at this together, 
man. 

305
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,840
We've been in this verses so 
many times, but let's read them 

306
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,600
again and again. 
They're not here by reputation. 

307
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,400
Please do not get bored with 
them. 

308
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,440
There is revelation in these 
verses still to this day in 

309
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,560
Genesis 126 to 31. 
We're going to go to the end of 

310
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,680
the book. 
It says that thing God said, 

311
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:26,920
then God said now God has said a
lot up to this point. 

312
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,120
God has created the heavens and 
the earth. 

313
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:34,000
God has created water, land, He 
has created vegetation, He has 

314
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,160
created animals. 
I mean God has done a lot with 

315
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,920
his voice, created stars, all 
kinds of things. 

316
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,360
Then God said, let us make man 
in our image according to our 

317
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:47,280
likeness, and let them rule over
the fish of the sea, over the 

318
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,080
birds of the sky, over the 
cattle, over all the earth, and 

319
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,040
over every creeping thing that 
creeps on the earth. 

320
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:54,960
God created man in his own 
image, in the image of God, He 

321
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:55,880
created him. 
What? 

322
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,080
Male and female, He created 
them. 

323
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,200
Verse 28 God bless. 
Them. 

324
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,560
And God said to them, what Be 
fruitful, multiply, fill the 

325
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,360
earth, subdue it, and rule over 
the fish of the sea, over the 

326
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:10,840
birds of the sky, and over every
living thing that moves on the 

327
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,480
earth. 
Then God said, Behold, I have 

328
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:19,160
given you, I have what I have 
what I have given you, every 

329
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,480
plant yielding seed that is on 
the surface of all the earth, 

330
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,320
and every tree which has fruit 
yielding seed, it shall be food 

331
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,440
for you. 
Verse 30 And man, this is 

332
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,560
powerful stuff. 
Now. 

333
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:38,400
Verse 30 And to every beast of 
the earth, and to every bird of 

334
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,160
the sky, and to everything that 
moves on the earth which has 

335
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,880
life, I have given every green 
plant for food. 

336
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,160
And it was. 
So here it is. 

337
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:51,680
Verse 31 And God saw all that he
had made, and behold, it was. 

338
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,240
Now this is the first time He 
uses the word very in front of 

339
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,440
good. 
Up to this point he said it was 

340
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,160
good, it was good, it was good. 
But after this he said it is. 

341
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:09,280
Why is it very good? 
Because the one whom He had 

342
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:17,240
ordained to govern and rule this
earth has now come into the 

343
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:24,320
earth, and He has assigned him 
with the responsibility to rule 

344
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,400
and to rule with Him. 
Are you hearing me? 

345
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,520
God saw that all that He had 
made, and behold, it was very. 

346
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,080
And there was evening, and there
was morning the 6th day. 

347
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:41,520
So in the very beginning we see 
that God makes man and woman, 

348
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:47,240
and they are in the garden. 
And it is very good, which means

349
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,760
the Father only has good things 
for you. 

350
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:56,000
The Father had nothing in it 
that was bad to teach you 

351
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,280
something. 
He didn't use bad things to 

352
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,560
teach you. 
He didn't try to manipulate you 

353
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:11,800
to teach you. 
He created a perfect world, no 

354
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,680
sin, and gave you the ability to
rule. 

355
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,280
In essence, you're already Co 
laboring with your Father 

356
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,240
because now you function like 
him in the earth as He. 

357
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,160
Functions in heaven. 
Hallelujah. 

358
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:33,960
This is your destiny. 
This is what our Father wants to

359
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,920
do with his children. 
He wants you to rule like he 

360
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:38,440
does. 
Amen. 

361
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,480
Isn't that amazing? 
He wants you to rule like he 

362
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,640
does. 
And he provided everything. 

363
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,640
Everything. 
What in the world did Adam and 

364
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,640
Eve lack? 
Not a thing. 

365
00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:03,720
This shows the nature of our 
God, how much He cared for them.

366
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:10,560
He provided everything for them.
They did not have a want at all.

367
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:17,800
And what He provided for Adam in
Genesis 1 and 2 is the same 

368
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,920
thing He's providing for his 
children today. 

369
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,520
Hallelujah. 
His way of parenting has not 

370
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,840
changed. 
I'm going to say that again. 

371
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,040
His way of parenting has not 
changed. 

372
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:33,080
Amen. 
So don't wait till you get to 

373
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,240
heaven for this stuff to occur. 
Are you hearing me? 

374
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,400
So then we go on. 
And and David, Pastor David said

375
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,600
it this way. 
He said he created a family 

376
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:48,640
after his own likeness to enjoy 
a kingly way of life, to have 

377
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,800
dominion over all the earth and 
to be in fellowship with him. 

378
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,520
What a powerful dad, what 
amazing dad that is, what a 

379
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:03,120
awesome heavenly Father we have 
is that when he thought of us 

380
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:09,160
humans created in his image, he 
wanted us to function in a 

381
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,520
kingly way on the earth and be 
in full fellowship with him. 

382
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,240
And everything around us is 
good. 

383
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,080
Not just good, but very good. 
Amen. 

384
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,800
Isn't that awesome that your 
heavenly Father, this was his 

385
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,720
idea for us. 
Genesis 2 seven through 9 y'all 

386
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,160
wait today. 
I know that our youth isn't here

387
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,760
to get you stirred up, but you 
know y'all need to stay stirred 

388
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,000
nonetheless. 
All right? 

389
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,720
Genesis 27 to 9 says this. 
Then the Lord God form man out 

390
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,680
of the dust of the ground, and 
he breathed into his nostrils 

391
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,160
the breath of life, and man 
became a living being. 

392
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,760
Then the Lord God planted a 
garden toward the east in Eden, 

393
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,600
and there was a play there. 
He placed the man whom he had 

394
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,680
formed out of the ground. 
The Lord God calls to grow every

395
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,480
tree that is pleasing to the 
site and good for food, and what

396
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,880
for food, good for food, and the
tree of life also in the midst 

397
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,320
of the guard and the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil. 

398
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,760
And if we continue to read the 
next few verses, we begin to see

399
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,440
that there is a river that runs 
through that breaks into four 

400
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,840
rivers, OK, And there's 
different lands that are 

401
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,560
associated based upon these 
rivers. 

402
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:28,320
Gold is in abundance, there's 
other precious mineral and all 

403
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,160
of this is for man. 
Again, what do we know about the

404
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,000
Scripture that God owns a owns 
all the silver and gold. 

405
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,040
So silver and gold is not bad. 
It was ours. 

406
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:44,040
It was for us to enjoy anyway, 
right, Because the whole earth 

407
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,880
says the Lord's and then he's 
given it demand to manage rule, 

408
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,680
to have dominion over. 
I mean, so you see the nature of

409
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:58,640
our Father that he was so well 
thought out, thought out of what

410
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,480
He wanted to provide for his 
children. 

411
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,440
This is amazing. 
This is amazing stuff that our 

412
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,400
Father did for us. 
Then if we jump down to verse 

413
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,480
15, it says, then the Lord God 
took man and put him into the 

414
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,880
Garden of Eden to cultivate it 
and to keep it. 

415
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,040
And the Lord God commanded man, 
saying, from any tree of the 

416
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,720
garden you may eat freely, but 
of the tree of the knowledge of 

417
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,000
good and evil, you shall not 
eat. 

418
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,040
From the day that you eat from 
it, you will surely die. 

419
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,400
So he puts him in the garden and
he has everything he can eat 

420
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,640
what freely? 
There's one tree he cannot eat. 

421
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,120
And the reason that tree is 
there is so that man can prove 

422
00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:44,280
to the Lord he loves him by 
keeping his word. 

423
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,480
I mean every other tree he can 
eat, which tells me there is 

424
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,120
more that you can do with God 
then you. 

425
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,840
And there's nothing wrong in the
context of the tree of the 

426
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,560
knowledge of good and evil other
than God says don't eat it. 

427
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,040
That's it. 
So let's look at what we can 

428
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,360
learn from the 1st 2 verses, our
first two chapters of Genesis 

429
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:12,680
concerning our Heavenly Father. 
The first thing that we learn is

430
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,320
that He provides. 
Are you hearing me? 

431
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,240
He provides. 
Now what you have to do is you 

432
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,000
have to take off the lens of 
what you're in today. 

433
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,000
You cannot. 
Well, I don't have. 

434
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,080
This is what your father wants 
to do. 

435
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,680
This is original intent. 
I'll get to the fall here in a 

436
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,880
minute. 
But original intent has not 

437
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:43,800
changed. 
I mean, even a believer right 

438
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,960
now that is barely getting 
along, thinking, you know what, 

439
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,120
man, I just man, I, I don't want
nothing. 

440
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,480
I can't have nothing. 
You know, life's so tough. 

441
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,720
It's so hard to come by stuff, 
that's the thing. 

442
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:54,920
But I can't wait to get to 
heaven. 

443
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,320
They believe that when they get 
to heaven, everything's going to

444
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,840
be taken care of. 
But you don't actually have to 

445
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,360
wait. 
I said you don't have to wait 

446
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,120
because the nature of our Father
is in play today. 

447
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:13,720
So you understand provision or 
prosperity is not sin. 

448
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,480
Covetousness is sin, greed is 
sin. 

449
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,600
But what's not sin is prosperity
and provision. 

450
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:35,800
Because God created a planet 
that He gave to His Son, right? 

451
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,920
Well, I gave my son inheritance,
OK, but my Heavenly Father gave 

452
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:43,200
me a planet. 
I mean, who's given a planet in 

453
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,880
their will? 
Well, I leave my I leave 

454
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,200
Jupiter. 
Nobody owns Jupiter but God, 

455
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,080
right? 
So that's pretty big, Father, 

456
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,000
that he leaves you a planet. 
Well, I'm not going to leave you

457
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,600
a family business, you know, 
just the business. 

458
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:57,560
I'm not going to leave you. 
Stop. 

459
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,240
I'm leaving you the planet. 
And everything in it. 

460
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,520
That's pretty good. 
He provides what's it say in 

461
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,760
Philippians 419 it says this and
my God will supply all your 

462
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,600
needs according to his riches 
and glory in Christ Jesus. 

463
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,960
God's a provider. 
In the first two chapters He has

464
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,080
provided the whole planet for 
man. 

465
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,040
It's very good. 
There's no sin in it. 

466
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,920
There's no Thor's, no thistles, 
no issues. 

467
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:29,360
I mean, in fact, it is implied 
that all Adam had to do prior to

468
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,600
sin was speak to the land and it
would have produced. 

469
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,040
He didn't have to labor with 
sweat that came with the fall. 

470
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,120
All he had to do was speak to 
it. 

471
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,720
God created an environment that 
His Son could rule with his 

472
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,680
words 'cause God rules with his 
words. 

473
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,640
Wow, can we rule with our words 
today? 

474
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,320
You bet we can. 
Why 'cause my God shall supply 

475
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,320
how many? 
Oh, my knees. 

476
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,360
I don't have to get two or three
jobs to make ends meet. 

477
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:03,160
I just need a word from the 
king, 'cause he's going to be my

478
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,920
supplier. 
I mean, my dad's already showed 

479
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,680
me from the beginning that, son,
I'll take care of you. 

480
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,000
I made a planet for you. 
Amen. 

481
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,640
He is a provider. 
Get it out of your head that he 

482
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,360
is withholding. 
He doesn't want you to have down

483
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,000
here. 
That is not our God. 

484
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:27,120
He doesn't want you to be had by
the things you have, but he has 

485
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:33,320
no problem with you having the 
second verse 'cause I'm going to

486
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,480
give you 2 and let everything be
confirmed with two or three 

487
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,600
witnesses and for the sake of 
time you only get 2. 

488
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,480
You can study some more for 
yourself, but to prove that our 

489
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,280
father is a provider, he is not 
a dad. 

490
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:50,160
Dead beat dad. 
I mean, with some people today, 

491
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,080
you would think I got born 
again, but he doesn't take care 

492
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,840
of me when he says I won't leave
you as an orphan. 

493
00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:00,760
I'm not going to let somebody 
else care for you when you get 

494
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,760
in my house. 
I'm going to take care of you. 

495
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,280
And he doesn't just take care of
you a little bit. 

496
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:11,520
He's an exceeding abundant 
beyond what you can ask or think

497
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:16,440
kind of Father Hallelujah. 
You need to see yourself that 

498
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,440
way with your heavenly Father. 
Luke chapter 12 verse 29 to 32. 

499
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,480
And he says, do not seek what 
you will eat or what you will 

500
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:29,640
drink, and do not keep worrying 
for all these things the nations

501
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,680
of the world eagerly seek. 
But you're who? 

502
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,120
But you're who? 
But your Father knows that you 

503
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,600
need these things, but seek his 
Kingdom. 

504
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:46,200
And these things will be 
subtracted, divided, no, added 

505
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,840
to you. 
Do not be afraid, little flock, 

506
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,320
for your come on. 
You're what? 

507
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,960
Your Father. 
You're who your Father has 

508
00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,760
chosen. 
Gladly not. 

509
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:07,040
Your Father is withholding his 
Kingdom until you come to 

510
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,680
heaven. 
Just be glad you're saved. 

511
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:18,480
That's not our Father. 
Our Father has chosen gladly. 

512
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,400
To what? 
What's he want to do? 

513
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,520
What's he want to do? 
What's he want to do? 

514
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:31,080
You have not because you, your 
dad, provides for. 

515
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:37,000
There's not a thing in your life
that God will not provide when 

516
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,560
you are walking according to His
plan and purpose. 

517
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,880
There's nothing that your Father
will not provide for you. 

518
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,640
He is a God. 
He is a father of provision. 

519
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,680
So do not be afraid, little fly,
for your Father's chosen gladly 

520
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,360
to give you his Kingdom. 
So our father, according to the 

521
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,200
first two chapters we see very 
clearly is he's a provider. 

522
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:01,200
He's not someone who gives birth
to kids and leaves them. 

523
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,600
He's not this Father who's in 
heaven. 

524
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,600
We're on earth and we're fending
for ourselves until maybe one 

525
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,719
day we see him. 
He's not an estranged father. 

526
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,880
That's so far up that you can't 
and away from you that you can't

527
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,719
contact him, talk to him or he 
bring provision for you and he 

528
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,000
sure ain't trying to pay you 
off. 

529
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,639
This comes with his nature. 
He provides. 

530
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:30,080
I said he provides. 
Come on, he provides. 

531
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,400
And let me say this, if you got,
if you have put yourself in a 

532
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,600
position that you're in a need, 
you know He forgives and still 

533
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,280
will provide for you because 
he's just that good. 

534
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,520
He gladly gives you the Kingdom.
The second thing we learned the 

535
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:52,760
first two chapters is that our 
Father wants us to live and not 

536
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:57,280
die. 
He wants us to have life eternal

537
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,040
with Him. 
That was his purpose. 

538
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,440
He said, Adam, you can eat from 
any tree of the garden, but of 

539
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,320
the tree of the knowledge of 
good and evil, you shall not 

540
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:06,840
eat. 
For the day you eat you will. 

541
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,280
And we've said this multiple 
times. 

542
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,240
Let's say it again. 
If Adam had never eaten the 

543
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:14,440
fruit of the tree of the 
knowledge of good and Evil, 

544
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:19,160
where would he be today? 
He'd be here because he wouldn't

545
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,240
have died. 
He would be here. 

546
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,240
Now, I'm not saying that God 
didn't know that he was going to

547
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:29,720
eat it, but when God says, and 
he's saying, and God always does

548
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:34,080
his word, the minute he said to 
Adam, you can eat from any tree,

549
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,600
but this tree you don't, you do 
not eat you. 

550
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,840
When you do, you die or you're 
separated from me. 

551
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,400
So the power is not in God's 
hands now. 

552
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,240
The power is in the hands of 
Adam. 

553
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:53,360
It's in his choice. 
And if Adam had every day 

554
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,320
chosen, my dad always provides 
for me. 

555
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,840
And he said do not eat this one 
tree, nobody's going to tell me 

556
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,640
to eat it. 
I will always obey my daddy 

557
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,920
because I love him. 
And we could go shake his hand 

558
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,760
today. 
In fact, the whole world would 

559
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:17,920
look different if he had not. 
If he had not. 

560
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,400
So what does that tell us? 
God never wanted his children to

561
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:29,240
experience death. 
No. 

562
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:34,440
Which tells me God is not taking
people from the planet. 

563
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,040
Well, the Lord just wanted to 
take them. 

564
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:46,160
No, no, not at all. 
Not at all. 

565
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:50,200
He wants us to live and not die.
Look what it says in Psalms 100 

566
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,560
and 1817. 
I shall not die, but live and 

567
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,920
declare the works of the Lord. 
Because when you're alive unto 

568
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,680
God, then you'll declare His 
works. 

569
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,840
When you're separated from God, 
then you're separated from His 

570
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:06,040
nature, character, blessings, 
all kinds of things, and you 

571
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,200
can't declare anything. 
But He wants us to live so you 

572
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,040
can declare the works of the 
Lord. 

573
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,680
Look at Acts 1728, says this. 
Acts 1728. 

574
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:21,120
It says, For in Him we live and 
move and exist. 

575
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,800
One translates into have our 
being, even as some of your own 

576
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,840
prophets have said, we for we 
are also His children. 

577
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,560
Aren't you glad you're a child 
of God? 

578
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,480
Aren't you glad you're a child 
of God? 

579
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,720
I mean, you're not a servant of 
God, although you serve him. 

580
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,120
You're not a slave of God, 
although you should make 

581
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,760
yourself a slave unto 
righteousness. 

582
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,560
Meaning I'm going to obey 
whatever God says. 

583
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,240
I will make put myself in a 
position that I will yield to 

584
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:53,280
that. 
But you are a child of the Most 

585
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,000
High. 
You have access to your Heavenly

586
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,280
Father. 
Isn't that amazing? 

587
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,480
So in him we live and as long as
you're with him, it is life and 

588
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,040
life more abundantly, and God 
wants us to live that way. 

589
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,840
Now good news is that ultimately
one day we'll all put on 

590
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:18,640
immortality in that amazing 
because God always wanted the 

591
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:25,480
those humans are man that he 
created to live with him 

592
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,280
forever. 
And for us who choose, that's 

593
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,520
exactly what we will do Amen. 
Our Father doesn't want to be 

594
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,360
separated from us. 
He doesn't want to be apart from

595
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,200
us. 
He doesn't even take time out 

596
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,920
from us. 
Well, you know, I need to take 

597
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,840
some time. 
You know, you just go on over 

598
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,280
there. 
Your daddy needs some me, Tom. 

599
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,360
You know our father doesn't need
me, Tom. 

600
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,120
Hallelujah. 
He loves us. 

601
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,320
You know, the third thing we can
learn from this is he. 

602
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,920
Our Father wanted us to reign 
with him. 

603
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,560
That is powerful. 
Look at this right here in 

604
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,640
Romans 517. 
For if by the transgression of 

605
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,000
the one death reign through the 
one much more those who receive 

606
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,120
the abundance of grace and the 
gift of righteous will, what 

607
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:17,880
reign in life through the one 
Jesus Christ and you can reign 

608
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,680
with him. 
Now we're not talking about 

609
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,000
during the millennial reign. 
We're not talking about in the 

610
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,440
new heaven and new earth 
reigning. 

611
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,560
We're talking about reigning 
with him today. 

612
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,480
Amen. 
I said Amen because we are his 

613
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:37,040
children. 
I don't know about you, but I'm 

614
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,400
really excited about being his 
child. 

615
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,080
Now. 
I had a natural father. 

616
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,640
I love my natural father and I 
have no problems telling you 

617
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,200
that my natural father was not 
the best father. 

618
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:55,520
Not that he was horrible as 
other fathers, but he did not 

619
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,600
live according to the standard 
of the word. 

620
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,600
He did not do that. 
He later in his life, in fact 

621
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,680
the last 18 months of his life, 
gave his life to the Lord and 

622
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,560
honestly he was in rebellion to 
God because he was blaming God 

623
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:15,120
for the divorce of his parents. 
But with that being said, you 

624
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,840
know, when it push comes to 
shove and your life is staring 

625
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,360
you in the face and you know 
you're going to go on, He knew 

626
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,120
enough about God and my mom, you
know, raised us in church and 

627
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,160
was born again. 
And there was enough of an 

628
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,120
example that he realized I need 
to be right with him. 

629
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,840
And he was. 
And there was a pastor by the 

630
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,040
name of Albert Rollins 
Rawlinson. 

631
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,600
Who was very instrumental in 
leading my father to the Lord. 

632
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,120
I'll never forget the Sunday he 
did. 

633
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,440
My dad actually painted the 
church. 

634
00:40:43,720 --> 00:40:45,840
I could take you to that church 
today in Gainesville. 

635
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,600
And he painted that church, you 
know, helped out for free. 

636
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:54,360
And I'll never forget we were in
service and the door opened 

637
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:58,160
during service and my dad came 
down in the middle of service 

638
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:04,680
and went to the altar and. 
Pastor Rollins stopped 

639
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,560
preaching. 
And LED my dad to the Lord. 

640
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,120
It was awesome. 
Now my dad never had the 

641
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:17,280
fullness of that experience 
because he was later diagnosed 

642
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,800
pretty quick, you know, with 
some tumors and some challenges.

643
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:27,080
But you know, that was 
self-inflicted in in the way he 

644
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,600
lived his life. 
And but he's he's with the 

645
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,560
father today and I'll see him 
again. 

646
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,600
But man, my heavenly Father has 
taught me a lot on how to be a 

647
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,600
father that my natural father 
did not. 

648
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,840
And I, you know, I'm not mad at 
him for that. 

649
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,480
I'm not mad at my natural 
father. 

650
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,960
For that, I'm not mad because at
the end of the day, he made that

651
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,520
choice and his choices do not 
have to be my choices. 

652
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:55,840
Period. 
They do not have to be my 

653
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,440
choices. 
In fact, because of my mom, you 

654
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,400
know, I really have no excuse 
because of her righteousness of 

655
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,360
them for God. 
I could have, you know, been 

656
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,760
more successful quicker if I had
just studied and done some 

657
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,120
things on my own. 
Anyway, we are to reign with him

658
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,480
and we can reign with him now, 
Isn't that amazing? 

659
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,520
Revelations 510 says this. 
For he, for you have been made 

660
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,520
to be a Kingdom and priest to 
our God, and they will reign 

661
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,880
upon the earth. 
They'll reign where on the 

662
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,240
earth, and that's not when we 
come back with the Lord during 

663
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:31,600
the millennial reign. 
We can reign now. 

664
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,760
God from heaven wants us to 
reign with him today. 

665
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:42,000
So these are three things real 
quick that we can see in the 

666
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,880
book of Beginnings that when the
Father created his children, 

667
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:52,840
provision and lavish provision, 
no lack provision. 

668
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,360
And when I'm talking, I'm just 
talking about natural provision,

669
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:02,920
you understand, Adam and Eve 
were not sick, so they were 

670
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:07,520
healthy. 
This was the environment where 

671
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:12,080
they were healthy. 
There was no sin, nothing bad, 

672
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,000
evil or wrong. 
All provision was there. 

673
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:21,800
He gave them the environment to 
have life and never experienced 

674
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:27,000
death once. 
When death was experienced, it 

675
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,240
was Adam's choice, not our 
fathers. 

676
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,960
Our father just wants life for 
us. 

677
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,720
Are you hearing me? 
And then he gave us the ability 

678
00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:40,840
to rule and reign with him. 
He didn't say, now I'm the 

679
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,400
father. 
I'm going to do everything. 

680
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,480
What he was doing is like, I'm 
the father. 

681
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,200
I'm going to lead and guide you.
And I'm going to entrust you 

682
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,400
because I'm going to give you 
the example of what it looks 

683
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,200
like to rule and reign in your 
environment. 

684
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,480
Are you hearing me? 
And we will rule and reign in 

685
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,880
life. 
All right, Pastor David said 

686
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,920
this. 
He said, I believe there was a 

687
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,400
time when Adam lived and walked 
in the glory of God and reigned 

688
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:12,160
as a king in life on the earth. 
How many believe Adam did that? 

689
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:17,440
How many believe you can do that
now because he's the king of who

690
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:23,720
are those kings we are? 
So there may be protests for no 

691
00:44:23,720 --> 00:44:24,600
kings. 
Come on, come. 

692
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,800
On But the reality is I'm 
looking at a bunch of them. 

693
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:34,000
Amen. 
Hallelujah. 

694
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,640
I'm looking at a bunch of kings 
right now. 

695
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,120
Now, what's dangerous about that
is not about policy. 

696
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,400
If there's an underlining 
message that can get into the 

697
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:48,600
psyche of people and they can 
reject Jesus King because Jesus 

698
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,400
is king, because Jesus does not 
come back as a suffering 

699
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,320
servant, He comes back as a 
reigning king. 

700
00:44:56,240 --> 00:45:01,440
And as the church, we must be 
wiser than this because this is 

701
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:06,880
how the enemy causes the world 
to reject the kingship of Jesus.

702
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,240
This is how this works. 
And we have to be wiser than 

703
00:45:13,240 --> 00:45:15,040
that. 
Are you hearing me? 

704
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,800
And we are to walk as kings in 
the earth because you understand

705
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,640
when you understand King Jesus 
and then you're not intimidated.

706
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,920
That's right. 
Because Jesus nor our Father was

707
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:30,400
ever a tyrannical ruler, which 
means you are not to be 1 

708
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,160
either. 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. 

709
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:42,360
But unfortunately man sinned. 
And did it change our heavenly 

710
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,760
Father? 
Genesis chapter 3 verse 8 

711
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,480
through 12 it says they heard 
the sound. 

712
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,320
Of the Lord walking in the 
garden in the cool of the day, 

713
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,840
and the man and his wife hid 
them, hid themselves from the 

714
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,480
presence of the Lord God among 
the trees of the garden. 

715
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,520
Then the Lord God called to the 
man and said to him, where are 

716
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,480
you? 
You know, he's still asking that

717
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:08,560
question today, he said I, the 
man Adam, he said I heard the 

718
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,880
sound of you in the garden and I
was afraid because I was naked, 

719
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,920
so I hid myself. 
And he, that's our heavenly 

720
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,720
Father, said, Who told you you 
were naked? 

721
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:22,040
Have you eaten from the tree of 
which I commanded you not to 

722
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,280
eat? 
And the man, that's Adam said. 

723
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:30,040
The woman you gave to me to be 
with me, she gave me from the 

724
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:31,560
tree. 
And I ate. 

725
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,480
We jump down to verse 15, the 
father dealing with a serpent. 

726
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,000
He said, I will put enmity 
between you and the woman and 

727
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,080
between your seed and her seed. 
And he will bruise you on the 

728
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,760
head and you will bruise him on 
the heel. 

729
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,280
Who is this seed that will come 
from a woman? 

730
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,000
What's his name? 
Come on, what's his name? 

731
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,200
What's his name? 
I went to breakfast with Rolando

732
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,040
last week, maybe 2 weeks ago 
maybe. 

733
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,280
I don't know. 
I mean, it goes fast. 

734
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,520
So it's pretty close. 
It's within two weeks. 

735
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:07,560
OK, So when I say soon, I mean 
it this time, not like a year 

736
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:14,280
ago, but we were discussing 
Genesis 3 and he had Rolando 

737
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,160
says, you know, there's 
something that I'm seeing here 

738
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:17,600
in three. 
Tell me if I'm right and I 

739
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:18,680
listen, I said. 
Yeah, you're right. 

740
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:23,880
That's exactly right. 
And so we're going to talk about

741
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,560
it today because it reveals our 
Father. 

742
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,560
Now here's our Father in Genesis
1 and 2. 

743
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,000
He's all provision. 
No sickness, no disease, no 

744
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:37,160
poverty, no lack. 
You are all taken care of and 

745
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,400
because of that you, you'll live
forever. 

746
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,640
This is what his desire and you 
will reign with him forever. 

747
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,880
That is the desire of our 
Father, who would not want to be

748
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,680
his child. 
That's what I'm asking. 

749
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,800
Who does not want to be his 
child? 

750
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,320
You know, my dad provides 
everything for me. 

751
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,280
I never get sick, you know, I 
never have a lack and I can just

752
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:58,880
live forever and I reign with 
him. 

753
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,520
I actually have purpose and 
destiny and he wants me to 

754
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,480
participate. 
Who does not want that as a 

755
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:09,000
father, right? 
However, man blows it and turn 

756
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,440
go back to the Genesis, the 
first one there Genesis 8. 

757
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,360
Let's do a look at this 
progression together. 

758
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,680
It says that when the the Father
comes in the cool of the day to 

759
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,680
meet with man and his wife, Adam
and Eve, they're hiding 

760
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,600
themselves and look what 
happens. 

761
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:27,680
The Lord God called to man and 
said to him, where are you? 

762
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:39,040
That is the voice of repentance,
the desire for repentance. 

763
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,040
Now do we know that God knows 
what happened? 

764
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,880
So let me take it from how a lot
of times people, even in the 

765
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:55,480
church view our Father, it would
have been more like this boy, 

766
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,440
where are you? 
I know you blew it. 

767
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,400
You better get over here and and
take your weapon right now. 

768
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:12,720
That wasn't how he responded. 
He first came in with where are 

769
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:20,320
you, which is a question that 
gives way for repentance. 

770
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:27,320
So here we are in the garden. 
The first sin the the the 

771
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:32,880
transgression that is going to 
cause the whole world to change 

772
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:39,400
and uranize life change. 
Yet God is offering a pathway 

773
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,520
of. 
Repentance right now. 

774
00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:47,520
The first response our Heavenly 
Father has with us if we ever 

775
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,480
make a mistake. 
And unfortunately, unlike Adam, 

776
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,960
we were well versed in 
disobedience. 

777
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,240
And even when we become born 
again, without the renewal of 

778
00:49:59,240 --> 00:50:05,280
the mind, we will maintain 
levels of disobedience because 

779
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,200
we're well versed. 
In being selfish. 

780
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,120
Your heart can be right with 
God, meaning your spirit can be 

781
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,280
born again and the Holy Ghost 
can live in you, but your mind 

782
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:22,720
can still do what it wants to 
do, still do what it wants to 

783
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:28,960
do. 
Yet God's first position was not

784
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:35,920
to lash out at the wrong, but to
give an occasion for repentance.

785
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,520
The man says to him, We heard 
you in the garden, we were 

786
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,000
afraid and we were naked. 
So he's telling his 

787
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:48,160
circumstance. 
So then he says, who told you 

788
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,360
you were naked? 
Next question, who told you you 

789
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:57,600
were naked? 
Did you eat from the tree of the

790
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,080
knowledge of evil that I told 
you not to? 

791
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,400
What are we at? 
I mean, how many of you, as 

792
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:08,200
parents says, did you are you're
looking for us? 

793
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:13,400
For them to what? 
Be honest, take responsibility, 

794
00:51:15,240 --> 00:51:21,560
admit they disobeyed? 
That's all you're looking for. 

795
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:28,160
Did you not? 
Because you're like did did you?

796
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,120
Please tell me you did so I can 
lower the boom on you. 

797
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,760
I'm going to take your phone. 
I'm going to ground you. 

798
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,880
I'm going to beat you so bad 
right now that you're going to 

799
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,480
wish that you never made this 
much. 

800
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:44,560
I mean, that is not our posture.
And it sure is not the Heavenly 

801
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,120
Father's posture. 
His posture was where are you? 

802
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,080
Something meant right? 
You know what? 

803
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:57,600
I know it. 
OK, so who told you you were 

804
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:02,480
naked? 
And now he starts to let on. 

805
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,080
Could you understand as a 
parent, some of our children 

806
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,800
were really good at letting you 
know only what they thought you 

807
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,360
knew. 
Come on, y'all know what I'm 

808
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,160
talking about? 
They're like no. 

809
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,760
And then you ask, OK. 
Yeah. 

810
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,400
What did you do this too? 
Yes. 

811
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:21,880
Why don't you just tell me at 
all? 

812
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:22,440
That's it. 
Well. 

813
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,080
What about this? 
Oh yeah, that too. 

814
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,920
Right. 
So the Lord kind of cuts through

815
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,800
the chase and says, who told you
were naked? 

816
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,440
Did you eat from the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil? 

817
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:38,440
Because that's where we're at. 
And and Adam has an opportunity.

818
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,000
But what does Adam say? 
Well, it's that woman you gave 

819
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:50,240
me no responsibility, no 
ownership, no repentance. 

820
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,680
And this was powerful. 
When Roland and I was talking, 

821
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:58,680
he said, notice that God quit 
talking to his son after that 

822
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:05,400
because if there's no 
repentance, then there's the 

823
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:14,280
full of the consequence. 
So here we already see in the 

824
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,720
first two chapters the nature of
our Father. 

825
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,600
But even when failure came, of 
which He knew before the 

826
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,960
foundation of the world, because
the Lamb was slain before the 

827
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:27,080
foundation of the world, He's 
already offering a pathway to 

828
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:31,800
restoration. 
Our Heavenly Father, His first 

829
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,560
action is a pathway to 
restoration. 

830
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:39,160
And if they and if, if, if a 
pathway of restoration is not 

831
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:44,160
there, then we're not modeling 
the Father wrong is can be 

832
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,160
wrong. 
But is there pathway to 

833
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:51,040
restoration? 
Because did did God make the 

834
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,760
pathway? 
Yes, Genesis 315. 

835
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:58,680
He says, listen, I'm going to 
come as a man so that I can keep

836
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,800
my word true that I'm making man
in my image according to my 

837
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,160
likeness and he have dominion. 
And the only way that's going to

838
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:06,200
happen now is I'm going to have 
to pay the price for the sin 

839
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:11,400
that man's going to do. 
I'll take it because I want to 

840
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:16,920
have that original relationship 
with my children that they'll 

841
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:22,240
have all provision, not no care 
in the world that they'll live 

842
00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:25,680
forever and that will rule and 
reign together. 

843
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,360
And is that not what's going to 
happen in the new heaven and new

844
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,720
earth? 
Is that not what's going to 

845
00:54:31,720 --> 00:54:33,880
happen? 
Because repentance in the 

846
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:37,480
context of repenting from sin or
disobedient will not even be in 

847
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:43,040
play in the new heaven, new 
earth, but in this time, what's 

848
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,720
our heart of our Father? 
I, I want you to repent. 

849
00:54:46,720 --> 00:54:50,360
What's it say in Matthew 417 
from that time Jesus began to 

850
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,640
preach and say repent for the 
Kingdom of heaven is at hand. 

851
00:54:53,880 --> 00:55:00,360
Second Peter 39 it says the Lord
is slow, is not slow about his 

852
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:04,920
promises as some count slowness,
but is patient towards you, not 

853
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:10,960
wishing for any to perish, but 
for all to come to what you 

854
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,400
understand that our heavenly 
Father with those outside of his

855
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,240
family. 
He wants them to repent. 

856
00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:20,640
He does not desire for them to 
die. 

857
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,720
We know the Father's hardest for
you to live with him forever. 

858
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:32,720
Now if you choose it, He is just
and He'll give humanity what 

859
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:36,400
they want, and if they want 
eternity without Him, He will 

860
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,960
give them what they want. 
He will honor His word 

861
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,560
concerning a pathway of 
disobedience. 

862
00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:47,680
However, His position is they 
just wants them to repent. 

863
00:55:47,720 --> 00:55:54,320
So even when a lost person is in
all of their sin, God is always 

864
00:55:54,320 --> 00:56:04,000
in His mind wanting this, Hey, 
if you could just repent. 

865
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:09,800
He's not going saying, oh, man, 
yeah, you keep doing that. 

866
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,600
You just keep doing that. 
Yeah, big boy, go ahead and keep

867
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,320
doing that because your day's 
coming. 

868
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,160
Your day's coming, man. 
I can't wait. 

869
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,840
Your day is coming. 
This is what I love you. 

870
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,920
Just thank you. 
That's not his position. 

871
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:27,360
The Father's heart is. 
You don't have to do this, don't

872
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:31,640
have to be like this. 
I've already provided your way 

873
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,920
of escape. 
I have already paid the price. 

874
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,080
This is not where I want you, 
man. 

875
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:41,800
Please do not put me in the 
position to have to act on what 

876
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,840
you're sewing for. 
Please come on, change this 

877
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,120
thing. 
And that's why he sings people 

878
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,080
by your path. 
This is why he sends people to 

879
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,400
talk to you about the word on 
how you can repentance, why he 

880
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,760
sends people. 
Because he wants you to have 

881
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,040
relationship. 
Now, if you resist, it's going 

882
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,720
to happen. 
In fact, Romans tells us that 

883
00:57:01,720 --> 00:57:03,680
he'll even give them over to 
their pray mind. 

884
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,240
You know, today I've done 
everything I can to get them to 

885
00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:08,480
repent. 
They don't want to repent, don't

886
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,080
want nothing do with me. 
And I'll give them what they 

887
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:11,280
want. 
And then there's no more 

888
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,360
conversation. 
But it's not that he's walking 

889
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:14,720
around thinking, ringing his 
hands. 

890
00:57:14,720 --> 00:57:16,600
And I can't wait to show them 
that's not it. 

891
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:21,680
Because it's grieves him that 
he's having to deal with 

892
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:25,280
humanity in that way, especially
since he's already paid the 

893
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,480
price with his blood. 
Y'all doing all right? 

894
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:34,120
Amen. 
And so Pastor David said this as

895
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,640
you walk in obedience to His 
Word, God will bless you. 

896
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:42,240
He will perform a father's 
duties in your life. 

897
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,920
He will perform a Father's 
duties in your life. 

898
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:54,840
God cannot bless sin or doubt 
and unbelief, so we must remove 

899
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,280
these things from our life. 
This is why He wants us to 

900
00:57:58,280 --> 00:57:59,760
repent. 
Change your thinking. 

901
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:02,160
Come on back home. 
Get out of your sin. 

902
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,880
Let me make you a new creature 
in Christ. 

903
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:07,720
Let me bring you back over into 
the family. 

904
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:09,800
Change the way you process and 
think. 

905
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,600
Obey me at my Word, and let me 
start giving you. 

906
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,160
What I originally wanted you to 
have the whole time full 

907
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:20,120
provision, nothing but life. 
And you and I are going to reign

908
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,400
together. 
My Mama. 

909
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,000
What a great father, I said. 
What a great father. 

910
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:26,880
You know what else he is in this
distance? 

911
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,040
He's full of mercy and 
compassion. 

912
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,040
Ephesians 2, four to six, says 
this. 

913
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,040
But God, being rich in mercy, 
because of his great love with 

914
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,720
which he loved us even when we 
were dead, in our transgression,

915
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,240
made us alive together with 
Christ. 

916
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,800
By grace you have been saved and
raised us up with him and seated

917
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,480
us with Him in heavenly places 
in Christ Jesus. 

918
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,240
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 
I mean, Christ's death, burial 

919
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:52,720
and resurrection and Him pouring
His blood on the mercy seat in 

920
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,800
heaven has already entitled you 
to His throne. 

921
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:04,840
Wow, how amazing our Father is. 
His Father's like son, go pay 

922
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:08,920
the price so they can take their
seat back in the Kingdom. 

923
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:14,040
Man, how awesome is that? 
And he did this because he's 

924
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:18,680
full of mercy. 
Does God have a wrath side? 

925
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,720
Yes. 
Will God judge the dead? 

926
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,840
Yes. 
But all the while, He wants you 

927
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,560
to come into His Kingdom, have 
life, repent. 

928
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,680
And he does it because he's 
extremely merciful. 

929
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:36,640
And why is he merciful? 
Because he paid the price for 

930
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,600
all your wrongdoing. 
There's really no reason for you

931
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,680
to do. 
People who go to the lake of 

932
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:50,000
fire, which is the second death 
and it exists, are there because

933
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,280
of their sin, but this is what 
gets them there. 

934
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:57,880
It's really because they never 
make Jesus Lord. 

935
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:03,560
The sin is really a dealt with 
issue because of the blood, but 

936
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,320
because the blood is not on 
their account. 

937
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:15,120
So it's actually. 
The rejection of Jesus as Lord 

938
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,640
supreme and authority that was 
throws them into the lake of 

939
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:24,080
fire because the sin really is 
not an issue if you accepted him

940
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,720
as Lord. 
It's already paid for. 

941
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,880
James 511 says this. 
We count those blessed who 

942
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:35,440
endure. 
You have heard of the endurance 

943
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,680
of Job and have seen. 
The outcome of the Lord's 

944
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:43,080
dealing for the Lord is full of 
compassion and is merciful. 

945
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,680
Aren't you glad our Father is 
full of compassion and is 

946
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:49,480
merciful? 
The last thing I want to cover 

947
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:51,560
today is this concerning our 
heavenly Father. 

948
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,680
You want to know your God, You 
want to know your Father. 

949
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:55,960
You have to go to the Word. 
And we've already seen that He 

950
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:59,360
provides. 
We've already seen that He wants

951
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,440
you to live and not die. 
We've already seen that He wants

952
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,120
you to reign with Him. 
And I'm going to come. 

953
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:05,480
That's His. 
Intent. 

954
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,840
And but because we've blown it, 
his first look towards us is 

955
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,760
not, I want to punish you. 
His first look is I want you to 

956
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:16,240
repent. 
His next is I'm full of mercy 

957
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,720
and compassion. 
So quit telling me about what 

958
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,520
you did. 
Talk to me. 

959
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:25,880
Let let me tell you what I've 
done, you know, and if we 

960
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:29,600
wouldn't go to the Lord and talk
to him about all we've done, all

961
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:34,240
we've done and just listen to 
what he's done, then we could 

962
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,320
get into this relationship a 
little bit quicker. 

963
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:39,960
Now, Lord, you know what I did? 
He's like, yeah, but what I've 

964
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,200
done is I've already paid for 
it. 

965
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:45,760
You don't have to remember that 
anymore. 

966
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,600
And it's not according to, it's 
not on your account when you're 

967
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,280
in the under the blood. 
Amen. 

968
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:54,880
The last thing that we see here 
about our father is he wants us.

969
01:01:54,880 --> 01:02:06,360
To be rewarded, rewarded, 
rewarded again, although we will

970
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,400
be judged for our deeds. 
That's true. 

971
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:14,120
But yet that's in a good sense. 
But there is a judgment to those

972
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,680
who disobeyed, there is a 
punishment to those who 

973
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:21,040
disobeyed, and there is a wrath,
although wrath can come on God's

974
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,040
covenant people, but that's 
because of disobedience. 

975
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:34,280
That can happen. 
OK, But His primary is for you 

976
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,760
to be rewarded. 
He wants you to not be. 

977
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:44,440
He does not want your reward 
stolen or taken away. 

978
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,160
Look at this in Hebrews Chapter 
11, verse 6. 

979
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,800
It says, and without faith, it's
impossible to please Him. 

980
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:56,240
For he who comes to God must 
believe that He is and that He 

981
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:00,080
is a rewarder of those who seek 
Him. 

982
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,400
He is a what? 
He's a rewarder. 

983
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,040
You understand? 
If you're truly seeking the Lord

984
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:09,000
with all your heart, all your 
soul, all your mind and all your

985
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:16,040
strength, you will be rewarded, 
not taken from, not without, not

986
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:20,280
lacking, not, you know, 
disregarded like you know, I 

987
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:21,800
come after you. 
Don't do nothing for me, Lord. 

988
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:25,840
Then you're not coming after him
because God is not a man that he

989
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:29,680
shall lie. 
If you are truly seeking him and

990
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:34,040
you're following him, He is a 
rewarder to those who seek Him. 

991
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:38,440
And man, I could testify my God 
has really rewarded me. 

992
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:43,200
My Father has rewarded me, and 
he is not a respecter of his 

993
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,880
children. 
Revelations 2212. 

994
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:48,960
Oh my goodness, we're at the end
of the book. 

995
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:52,320
We started in Genesis 1. 
Let's end in Revelation 22. 

996
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,600
Hallelujah, man. 
How many churches you get to go 

997
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:55,520
to? 
We get to go through the whole 

998
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,520
Bible. 
Revelation 2212. 

999
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:02,560
It says, behold, Jesus said, 
behold, I am coming quickly. 

1000
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:09,280
My, my reward is with me to 
render to every man according to

1001
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,200
what he has done. 
Aren't you excited? 

1002
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:17,000
He wants to reward us, the 
Father saying Jesus, go give the

1003
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:22,480
reward to those who have been 
faithful and obeyed and followed

1004
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,520
and and went after me. 
Pastor David concluded it this 

1005
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:27,760
way. 
He said it is God's will that 

1006
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:32,120
you walk in his blessing and 
prosperity, but you must walk in

1007
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:36,160
obedience so that he can bless 
and prosper you. 

1008
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:40,720
Hallelujah. 
Why would I not be obedient to 

1009
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:47,080
such a good good father? 
And good doesn't even can't even

1010
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:51,680
comprehend the magnitude of our 
Heavenly Father. 

1011
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:57,600
How gracious, merciful, kind, 
loving, forgiving, Oh my 

1012
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:03,040
goodness, he's amazing. 
Because all the while he just 

1013
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,880
wants to get you reset where 
you've completely provided for. 

1014
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:16,960
You don't like anything. 
All you do is live and you reign

1015
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,880
with him. 
He's the best father ever, 

1016
01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:24,200
Hallelujah. 
And he's willing for me to 

1017
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:27,120
accept the price of his son. 
Let's pray.
