30
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: guys know, though you probably already know this by now,

31
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: but for the next ninety minutes, you're gonna hear someone

32
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: who is not stopping by to just have us be

33
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: one more person on their speaking circuit. That's not happening.

34
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: We're not one more bookstop for him. That's not happening.

35
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 3: But what is happening is that a man who has

36
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 3: decided a long time ago, five decades ago, to put

37
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 3: Jesus first and to share Christ first above all things.

38
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: So why is that important to a happening now service?

39
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: Because we can talk all about what's going on in

40
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: Iran and Syria and Russia and China and in America.

41
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: We can look at all these very biblical issues, and

42
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: we will do that in time, but not tonight, because

43
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: tonight it's going to be about the most important thing

44
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: regarding all of that. You know, we can get so

45
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: bogged down in studying Bible prophecy that we forget to

46
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: do anything with it.

47
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 4: Right.

48
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: We can get so excited about, oh my goodness, look

49
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: at this, look at that, that we don't put anything

50
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: into action or practice. And you guys know that Jesus

51
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: is a man of action. Our God is a God

52
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: of action. That none of us in this room is

53
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: interested in theory. We're interested in actually living out our

54
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: faith that God is real, he loves us, and he

55
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: created us for a purpose. He's the ultimate design engineer

56
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: for why you live. And tonight, as we go through.

57
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 4: This, he's an interview.

58
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: You have got to make sure that you determined tonight

59
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 3: to leave this building a changed person because you will

60
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: be challenged and part of that challenge. I've watched happen

61
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: when I have traveled with this man, when I've been

62
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 3: places with him. He really does what he talks about.

63
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 3: I'm talking about the Billy Graham Recipient Award and evangelism.

64
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 4: He started making.

65
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 3: A small family business that started in nineteen oh one.

66
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: That just chugged along that by the time it came

67
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: to him, he decided, let's we got a product that's

68
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 3: good enough, let's take.

69
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: It to the world. And he received a lot of

70
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: pushback on that.

71
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: You would think that's a businessman right dream come true,

72
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 3: let's go for it. But it didn't go over well,

73
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: and so he did it really on his own and

74
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: he has created a global business. He's an icon in

75
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 3: this field of really automotive can I call it beautification?

76
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 3: In your garage or in your house, you probably have

77
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: McGuire's auto wax or McGuire's treatment, and that is Barry

78
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: maguire's world. And God has blessed him. But he would say,

79
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 3: right now, Jack, no, that's not my world. Jesus is

80
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: my world. And that's a fact. So let'sten give a war.

81
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: Welcome tonight to Barry McGuire. I did, alrighty, So listen

82
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: to you guys before we get going. He's written a book.

83
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: Is that there's that iconic? All the guys know this.

84
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: Do any ladies in here know this?

85
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 5: All right?

86
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: But he's going to share, and he's going to share

87
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 3: a lot, and so you're going to hear him talk

88
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 3: a lot. I just want to remind you he's got

89
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: his latest book, his newest book that is out, and

90
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: I think there's three hundred copies out in the foyer.

91
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 4: Barry, I think you'll be there after I reckon.

92
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: So yes, and that's going to be tremendous. So you guys,

93
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: let's give it to God right now. Father, we pray

94
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: that you bless our time together, and Father, that there'd

95
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 3: be a profound exhortation that comes out of what Barry

96
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: has to say. There are so many ways that people

97
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 3: could look at him and say, well, how can you

98
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: relate to me? But Lord, I know his story. Many

99
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 3: in this room know his story. But thank you that

100
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: tonight many will know his story. And his story is

101
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 3: in fact Jesus Christ. So Father, bless our time together.

102
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 3: Now we pray, and all God's people said, amen, Well, Barry,

103
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: let's dive into this because as we look, as we

104
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: consider your book twenty six chapters in a very very

105
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: powerful book. But the most important thing is ignite your life.

106
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 3: Ignite's been a big theme about your life and how

107
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: did it all get started?

108
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 4: How did you get started?

109
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 5: Well, if you talk about sharing your faith, not too

110
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 5: many of you have been sharing their faith every day

111
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 5: for fifty years.

112
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 4: Karen. I've been doing that every day for fifty years.

113
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 5: And it really started back when in the first days

114
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 5: of our marriage, and we were well churched and Sunday morning,

115
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 5: Sunday night and volunteering for everything and giving and all

116
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 5: the stuff we did with that, but we didn't have

117
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 5: any joy. We had happiness, but we didn't have joy.

118
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 5: And I see like the more we volunteered, the less

119
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: joy we had. And we kept saying, this doesn't make

120
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 5: sense God, I mean, we're what's going on here? So

121
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 5: we started praying for joy. And we went to a banquet.

122
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 5: I was sitting as placed right next to the speaker

123
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 5: of the day, who was whose name was herb Ellingwood,

124
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 5: who was at the time, I'll give you my age now,

125
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 5: he was the legal affairs secretary for Governor Reagan.

126
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,559
Speaker 4: Governor Reagan, yeah, oh, those were the days.

127
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 5: Oh yeah. And I was anxious to talk to him

128
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 5: about Reagan. Do you really pray in his office and

129
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 5: all that? And so I got up my head about

130
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 5: an hour before he spoke, and in that hour he

131
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 5: never mentioned Reagan, and I never thought of Reagan. He

132
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 5: he went from one story of the next, laughing and

133
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 5: crying and laughing and crying, and then I'm on find

134
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 5: And last night I was in this restaurant and he

135
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 5: was just out of his gorge, excited, he had joy.

136
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 5: And I walked away from there, K and I both did.

137
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 5: I was in tears, and I said, that's I want that.

138
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 5: I want what he has when I get to have it.

139
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 5: After seeing my daughter and our loved ones, I going

140
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 5: to make a bee line for her bellywood. How he

141
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 5: changed a young guy's life back in those days. He

142
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 5: wouldn't even thought about it, and you never do. You

143
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 5: don't know. You invest in somebody, you don't know where

144
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 5: that's going to go. But from there we started sharing

145
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 5: our faith, and in three years we were sharing our

146
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 5: faith a lot and thinking we should go into full

147
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 5: time ministry instead of our business. But the business, I'm

148
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 5: the third generation later with the business, and we were

149
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 5: alone doing about seven eight hundred thousand dollars worth of business,

150
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 5: a small business, and I knew if I left, it

151
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 5: would fail, And so I prayed the most earnest prayer,

152
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 5: literally the most fervent prayer of my life, prayer of

153
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 5: my life, that day and said, God, if you want

154
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 5: me to go into full time ministry, I will do it.

155
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 4: I would do it.

156
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 5: I promise you I'll do it. But I need to

157
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 5: know that that's what you really want me to do.

158
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 5: And I said, you almost had to speak to me

159
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 5: in an audible voice, is what.

160
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 4: I said to him.

161
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 5: And not twenty minutes lef later, a guy who I knew,

162
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 5: a David Nutt, walked into my office who I didn't know.

163
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 5: I knew him from church. I knew he's a missionary

164
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 5: kid my age, he grew up in Africa, but I've

165
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 5: never had, never exchanged a glance with him. And he

166
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 5: walks in all smiles, highware.

167
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 4: I was in the area.

168
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 5: I thought, I stopped by and see how it's going.

169
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 5: What's happening? And so I thought, why he's not interested

170
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 5: the cool cars and shiny paint finishes. So I started sharing,

171
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 5: you know, faith sharing stories, and he said, Wow, God's

172
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 5: given me a wonderful ministry here, hadn't he? And I said, well,

173
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 5: why would you say that? He said, because a minister

174
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 5: can't reach the people you're reaching, but as the businessman,

175
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 5: you can. And he gave me these words. Now, this

176
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 5: was in nineteen seventy six, okay, almost fifty years ago.

177
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 5: He said, your business your pulpit, and it is because

178
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 5: a pastor can't reach the people you're reach him. Is

179
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 5: a businessman you can. And he just just makes so

180
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 5: much sense that you're here. And I said, wait a minute,

181
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 5: wait a wait, I got to tell you this prayer.

182
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 5: I just prayed not twenty ago about whether I should

183
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 5: go in the full time ministry or not, so that

184
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 5: he has to speak to me. And he said, well,

185
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 5: that makes complete sense. I said, why, I just dropped

186
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 5: missionaries off at Orange County Airport. I was driving up

187
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 5: Red Hill and God spoke to me and said, go

188
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 5: see Barry Maguire.

189
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 4: Wow.

190
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 5: And and I argue with him all the way. I

191
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 5: argued with him all the way to your office, saying

192
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 5: I don't know this guy. I don't I don't know

193
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 5: what kind of business he's in. I'm gonna make him

194
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 5: floor to myself. But he would not let me go.

195
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 5: Can you imagine? I mean, he just with God, what's

196
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 5: things happened? He knew our hearts, he knew that I

197
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 5: was about to make a big mistiqueias if I had

198
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 5: become a pastor, I would have been a horrible pastor.

199
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 5: I'm a businessman. Thank God that he didn't let me

200
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 5: go into the past. That's not all sorts.

201
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 4: Car would have been very shiny. Oh yes, Carchase.

202
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

203
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 3: So the business, the business had been I mean generationally

204
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: your grandfather, your father.

205
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 5: And selling body shops and car you know, we're buffing cars.

206
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 5: The way I sold the product I you ot of

207
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 5: college was I would go into body shops and card

208
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 5: eators and buff with the electric buffer. And that's how

209
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 5: we sold your prost show. That was our entire business.

210
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 5: And God inspired me to go retail.

211
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: So you're doing this and this is your tent making.

212
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 3: The Book of Acts would call it your tent making skills.

213
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: If any of you out out there are young, you

214
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 3: need to know something. I want to be involved in ministry.

215
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: That's great, But know this that according to the scriptures,

216
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: everybody involved in ministry had a tent making skilled, meaning

217
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 3: that they had an ability to make income. Right, they

218
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 3: were not they were not entitled into the ministry. So

219
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 3: here's Barry, now, the third generation taking this business that

220
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 3: began that started out waxing or treating carriages, wasn't it.

221
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 5: The word Actually before that it was a little bit

222
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 5: on car wax sales back in nineteen oh one. So

223
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 5: my grandfather was doing furniture polishure and he was obsessed

224
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 5: with He went in to chemists and he was selling

225
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 5: a French police Nobody liked it. He decided to create

226
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 5: his owners if God helped me create a finish so

227
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 5: that creates a perfect finish on black lack of furniture.

228
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 5: That was his passion, and God gave him a very

229
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 5: unusual mix of ingredients that helped him to accomplish that goal.

230
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 5: He was in Evansville, Indiana. Over half of the horseless

231
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 5: carriage manufacturers were in the state of Indiana, and without

232
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 5: his permissions, people started taking his furniture polish and putting

233
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 5: it on carriages, and his product became a carriage polish

234
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 5: without him doing anything about right, all right, So it

235
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 5: was a miracle from the very beginning. Then he moved

236
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 5: to California nineteen thirteen, and then by the time the

237
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 5: end of World War two, car guys came back.

238
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 4: From the war.

239
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 5: They knew how to build engines faster, make cars sleeker,

240
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 5: and they started doing things to the cars, and they

241
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 5: wanted a great paint finish, so they go their custom

242
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 5: painters and spend a lot of money for these paint finishes,

243
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 5: and all the painters were using our products. And so

244
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 5: in the next ten years twenty years, basically every painter

245
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 5: in the country was using McGuire's products. On the professional side,

246
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 5: they're all retail now. They're all wanting to keep this

247
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 5: finish looking this way, and they would get the painter,

248
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 5: would give them a bottle of our polygh to say,

249
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 5: just use McGuire's in this finish. Nobody knew as we

250
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 5: had no advertising program, but basically every car guy in

251
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 5: the country was aware of McGuire's products.

252
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 4: And I found this. I traveled across.

253
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 5: Country and they told me how they found out about

254
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 5: our products.

255
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 4: Why aren't you in retail?

256
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 5: So then God inspireers say you need to go retail,

257
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 5: and then the family was against it, and that's a

258
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 5: whole other thing.

259
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 4: It was a civil war back home, but isn't that

260
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 4: And so needless to say, it's gone global. It's been global.

261
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: And so with all of that, somebody might say, from

262
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 3: from the viewer's side, well, you're Barry McGuire and you

263
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: have had a life of supply and privilege and care

264
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 3: and niceties. Nothing could possibly you got a great smile

265
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: on your face. What could possibly have ever gone wrong

266
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: in this life? I mean, we're talking about sharing. Jesus,

267
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 3: it must be easy for this guy to share.

268
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 5: Christ I was in a family business, was buffing cars

269
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 5: and body shops. Okay, Karen, my lovely wife, Karen sixty

270
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 5: years bury, Where are you, Karen?

271
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 4: Right here in the front road.

272
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 5: This is our story. But she's the extrovert. She loves everybody.

273
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 5: You know, if you hung around here, what she'd know

274
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 5: all your age. And we would go into business settings always,

275
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 5: i mean continually having to build the brand. And I

276
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 5: would literally hide behind her.

277
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 4: Now you do know this is hard for us.

278
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 5: I would hide behind her, She'll tell you, and she

279
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 5: would start the conversations and once she had it going

280
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 5: a bit that I would pop out, say I'm her husband.

281
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 5: And for years she gave me five dollars a week.

282
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 4: To live on. That was that was dim that was

283
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 4: that was the case. So no, we had it.

284
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 5: We're just a struggling little business, family business. Lots of

285
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 5: problems within the family business and different portraits. You just

286
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 5: read the book. You figured that out. But yeah, it

287
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 5: was a whole different world. But you know what, when

288
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 5: you when you start sharing your faith, you step into

289
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 5: all the promises of God. And we get to these

290
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 5: in a few minutes, I suppose. But all of a

291
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 5: sudden he just gives you great confidence. It changes your life.

292
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 5: It just changed your life, and I look at it.

293
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 5: We're all called to share a faith.

294
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 4: That's right.

295
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 5: He didn't say, you know, go under the world all

296
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 5: you who have certain personalities, right, or are you been

297
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 5: trained or you're paid or whatever. He just said go.

298
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 5: And notice he didn't say go in the world and

299
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 5: read the Bible.

300
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 4: That's true.

301
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 5: And he didn't say go in the world and pray. No,

302
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 5: we're all called. You know, I often say, all of

303
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 5: us are witnesses. Tell us their witnesses for the prosecution.

304
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 5: You know, we're pushing me in the wrong direction. We

305
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 5: got to stop that. We sometimes don't even know that.

306
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 5: You go in the restaurant and you make a lot

307
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 5: of noise and you talk about God. The waitress on

308
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 5: Sunday we're going to be home with her kids. But

309
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 5: you got to wait on Christians and they're more demanding,

310
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 5: and they stay longer than they should, and then they

311
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 5: stiffer on the tip. What did they do to that

312
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 5: waitress without even realize they're going out. They had a

313
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 5: great day and they don't know. They just push that waitress.

314
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 5: The Christians, that's right, So you got to be looking.

315
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 5: People are watching you all the time. We are a

316
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 5: city set on a hill. People are watching us, and

317
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 5: so that brings everything into submission. So you start doing

318
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 5: it because you want to do everything you can to

319
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 5: get as many people into Heaven as possible in the

320
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 5: amount of time we have left, so that you.

321
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 4: Guys, you guys.

322
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 3: The first time Barry and I ever had lunch together

323
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 3: was I think you picked me up at the airport.

324
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 4: We were in Flakes or Flakes down Scott's, wasn't it Scott's? Okay? Regardless?

325
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 4: We said down regardless.

326
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: We sat down to eat at a restaurant and the

327
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: hostess came up, or the server came up and was

328
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 3: taking our order, and everything was just squared away. Before

329
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 3: she started to walk away, Barry and Karen both said,

330
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 3: we're people of prayer. We love to pray. Is there's

331
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 3: something we can pray for you for.

332
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 5: Now?

333
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: Think about how simple of an invite that is. And

334
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: the girl paused for a moment. You thought her answer

335
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 3: was going to be no, but she started to think

336
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 3: and she said, well yes, and she began to share

337
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 3: her story, her need right at the table, and that

338
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 3: door just opened up all because they saw she saw

339
00:18:55,119 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 3: Barry and Karen caring about her life. And so when

340
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 3: you ask someone this is something I can pray for

341
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 3: you for. And I love how you can even say,

342
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 3: you know what, we.

343
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 4: Are a people of prayer. We're going to pray over

344
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 4: our meal here in a moment. I know you're busy working.

345
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 3: It's there something that we can pray for you for

346
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 3: that just begins, as you so greatly say, It's a

347
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 3: trademark of yours is moving someone closer to Jesus.

348
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 4: Move every day.

349
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 5: Move everybody every day, Move everybody, everybody. That's everybody. Get that,

350
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 5: you get it starts in the kitchen, in the bathroom

351
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 5: in the morning, all right. I mean I can look

352
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 5: at cards sometimes to day I think I didn't just

353
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 5: move you closer to Jesus for that last comment, it's everybody.

354
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 4: You move everybody every day closer to Jesus.

355
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 5: We're getting some cop outs from the book and people

356
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 5: are just they're just doing the steward. The waitress person

357
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 5: and nothing else. They think they've accomplished it. Well, that's

358
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 5: just you know, once or twice a day you have

359
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 5: that opportunity. But you have opportunities. You're you're with people, continuing.

360
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 5: Everywhere you go, you're with people, and eighty percent of

361
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 5: we're lost, and we try not to. We don't necessarily

362
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 5: say we're people of prayer, we're godly people. Really, we

363
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 5: just take as casual as we can we say, you

364
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 5: know what, we're a bunch of crazy Christians. We'll just

365
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 5: say different things like that. And we're going to pray

366
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 5: for a meal. And we always ask our server.

367
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 4: It's not just you.

368
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 5: We always ask our servers anything. We pray for you.

369
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 5: And you know what, we're finding out almost everybody has prayer,

370
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 5: has needs today, and that all of a sudden takes

371
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 5: the pain out of it all said. Oh, and more

372
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 5: than half the time, more than half the time they'll

373
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 5: give you and usually an emotional answer.

374
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 4: It's just crazy.

375
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 3: Well, what you are so prolific at doing and promoting

376
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 3: is evangelism from the believer. A lot of people will think, well, look,

377
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 3: he won the Billy Graham Awards.

378
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 4: So I didn't. That's his thing.

379
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 3: But no, the scripture says Paul told Timothy that we

380
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 3: must do the work of an evangelist. Yeah, which means

381
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 3: every single one of us need to be ready to

382
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 3: share when that door opens. And God, I believe that

383
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 3: God will bring every day someone across your path of

384
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 3: life that it's built in that God builds that in.

385
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 3: But as a pastor, my burden my heart is, Oh God,

386
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 3: please may they go out and do what was just taught.

387
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 4: I mean, that's my big thing.

388
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 3: It's kind of like I would imagine somebody cooks a

389
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: big meal and then people come and they don't need it.

390
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 3: It's like, what as a pastor teacher, you want people

391
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 3: to take in the word and then go do the word.

392
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 3: And yet that's part of making disciples. But the disciple,

393
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 3: as you said, is to go. Chuck Smith said years ago,

394
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 3: healthy sheep produce healthy sheep, and so to take the

395
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 3: word of God and to do it must have must

396
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 3: incorporate evangelism.

397
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 4: But people hear the word evangelism, they get scared. Oh,

398
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 4: nobody wants to evangelize.

399
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 5: So nobody wants to be evangelized, and nobody wants to

400
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 5: evangeliz I just forget that term altogether. Instantly about everything

401
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 5: you've been taught about evangelism, if you want to use

402
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 5: that term is wrong. You showed me a verse of

403
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 5: the Bible says you're supposed to memorize and recite stuff

404
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 5: and key points. It's not there. And quite frankly, when

405
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 5: you're talking to people, you can't orchestrate what they're going

406
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 5: to do, what you need to say. There's no way

407
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 5: you compare you're talking to somebody. And also the fact

408
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 5: their son committed suicide last night, or their wife just

409
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 5: walked out on them, or they just found me. Okay,

410
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 5: you have no idea where it's going to go. That's right,

411
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 5: So you have to get away from the from the

412
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 5: from the class. I appreciate evangelism programs, Karen, I went

413
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 5: to several of them. They helped us I millions of

414
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 5: people to save by evangelism programs. But most of us

415
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 5: do not go to evangelism programs. Then we feel that

416
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 5: we're not in entire The fact of the matter is,

417
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 5: you don't need to do anything. But he said, they'll

418
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 5: know you're my disciple by your love. So just love

419
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 5: on everybody, everybody, touch them, look them in the eye.

420
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 5: If nothing else to say, have a good and God

421
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 5: bless you. Look in the look them in the eye

422
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 5: when you say that, and you'll be surprised having sids,

423
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 5: they'll cheer up by you're just telling him God loves you.

424
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 5: So every day's an adventure. I mean every day's adventure.

425
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 5: You walk in the room, it's like, what does God

426
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 5: have in store for me now? And you have no

427
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 5: idea where it's going to go, but it's it's it

428
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 5: becomes so much fun to see how God brings people

429
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 5: into your life, and and then he gives you the

430
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 5: words to say Mark thirteen. Love Ax says, don't prepare,

431
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 5: don't prepare, stop preparing. Luke to Tros says, the Holy

432
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 5: spell give you the words to say, it's amazing. So

433
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 5: when you do that, there is no other way to

434
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 5: have the intimacy with God. Folks, hear me on this.

435
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 5: There is no other way. I convince there's no other

436
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 5: way to have intimacy. We can have all this Bible knowledge.

437
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 5: We all are educate, way more than we deserve. We

438
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 5: have all this stuff we get, but we're not applying it.

439
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 5: And if we don't apply it, it's dead and useless.

440
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 5: We need to do something with what we're being told.

441
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,239
Speaker 5: So when you do that and you use it, then

442
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, God's speaking through you and you

443
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 5: see the change in the person right in front of you,

444
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 5: and you walk away and say, God, just use me.

445
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 5: I pedal carwhacks and he just used me to change

446
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 5: that life and it puts him bouncing your stuff. I

447
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 5: gotta tell you, it's like it's exciting. And we have

448
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 5: that experience every day. If you say why why are

449
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 5: you so joyful? You know they I'll just say, carry

450
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 5: why are you so happy?

451
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 4: Outside?

452
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 5: You always have joy?

453
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 4: You always have Man.

454
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 5: We're just coming off one of those experiences and we

455
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 5: know another one's coming up. And guess what nobody's having

456
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 5: to tell us to get into the word. We're digging

457
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 5: like crazy word. You're in the game. You're praying everything's working,

458
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 5: everything's wor And when you do that, then he takes

459
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 5: your business or whatever your profession is, or a housewife

460
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 5: or parenting or whatever, and he turn makes it, turns

461
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 5: it all into good. And we'll get to that scripture

462
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 5: to Bess's factory.

463
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 4: Absolutely, so the joy.

464
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 5: So you've known the Lord wholelife? Yeah, many generations of

465
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 5: both sides of my family except for the Lord where

466
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 5: I was fourteen, But I grew up in church Sunday morning,

467
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 5: Sunday night, Wednesday night.

468
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 3: So one of the great things about and you know this,

469
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 3: one of the great things about being around a new

470
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 3: believer is that they act like Barry, is that they're

471
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 3: so excited to tell somebody right. And you love being

472
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 3: around a new believer because they'll just the overwhelming relationship

473
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 3: that they immediately have with.

474
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 4: Jesus is so real that.

475
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: Some more what's the word more refined believers get a

476
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 3: little nervous around a new believer because it's like, come down,

477
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: will you. Well, God delights in the passion that that

478
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 3: new believer has. It's a new love when it's true

479
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 3: in life and it's true with God. And you say, well, wow,

480
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: you know I'd like to have that. Well, if you'd

481
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: really like to have that, then you need to get

482
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: back to that first love relationship. Yeah, yeah, right, we

483
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 3: all know this Book of Revelation, God says, so to

484
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 3: return to get back to that first love relationship. Why,

485
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: here's a man who has watched with Jesus all his life,

486
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 3: and when he was influenced by that man.

487
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 4: To just put Christ first.

488
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 3: In everything and tell people it keeps you and I

489
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: the older believers, in that fresh new place where it's

490
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 3: thrilling all the time, and all of us are called

491
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 3: a different thing. What you do with your skills, those

492
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 3: have been given to you by God. But you can

493
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 3: use those skills no matter what it is. Somebody might say, well,

494
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 3: I'm an alignment for the Edison Company, what can I do?

495
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 4: Or You're not the only lignement there. There's somebody else there,

496
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 4: there's something to share.

497
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 3: And once you do that, because you know when you

498
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: do it people, when you begin to share, when you

499
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: decide I'm gonna tell that guy about Jesus, the first

500
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 3: thing that happens is your throat goes dry, your tongue

501
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 3: starts to shrivel up, your heart rate increases. And I'm

502
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 3: just talking about me. I don't know about you, but

503
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 3: it's true. It's not natural because it has to be supernatural. Okay,

504
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 3: what Barry is saying is let God be God. Just

505
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 3: let God be God. And if this, imagine, just in

506
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 3: this room tonight, if if we took Barry's example and

507
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: challenge tonight, because you're going to be challenged tonight to

508
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 3: do this Tomorrow by the time we meet up on Sunday, well,

509
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 3: I'll be able to tell you'll be You'll be the

510
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 3: ones glowing at the Sunday service, because that's exactly what happens.

511
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 3: There's something about what you know. But when you repeat

512
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 3: what you know to others who need to know it,

513
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,479
Speaker 3: that's when you light up. I think that's why teaching

514
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: is one of the great things. No matter what you

515
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 3: might teach, if it's engineering or design or art, when

516
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 3: you know it, then you teach it. You see the

517
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 3: excitement of it. It reciprocates, it's it's remarkable and.

518
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 5: So Barry, you have let me get key coming on

519
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 5: that just for a second. I don't want to interact

520
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 5: jump well figure the New Christians the most aggressive, most

521
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 5: reciferous uh face shares or New Christians right, and and

522
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 5: they've never had a class. They don't know scripture, but

523
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 5: they do have God is their first love. They've just

524
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 5: been saved. Really, if they're really saved, they really is.

525
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 5: God just saved them from hell, right yeah, and if

526
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 5: they're very happy about it, they can't wait. Tell I

527
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 5: was saved. I was blind and now I see they

528
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 5: got this excitement. We're not supposed to lose that as

529
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 5: we go on. That's right, that is not God's plan.

530
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 5: You're just not so when when you in the Relations

531
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 5: chapter two, The Love of the Church, we've been caring.

532
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 5: I've been to all seven of the church. But the

533
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 5: letter of the Church of Ephesus, he says, he's talking

534
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 5: to us Christians. I know you go to church, I

535
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 5: know you give generously. I know you do a good

536
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 5: teaching for bad. He's talking about us, But I have

537
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 5: this against you. You've left your first love and you're

538
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 5: no longer doing the first work. And then he always

539
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 5: says to the Christians he said repent, Yes he does.

540
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 5: I have no way to say that. The pastors should

541
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 5: be saving this bind your quote in the scripture. He's

542
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 5: knowing Christians to repent and return to your first love. Okay,

543
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 5: there's some of you in this room tonight that need

544
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 5: to do that. What you're what you love, what you're

545
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 5: excited about, You talk about.

546
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 4: Whatever it is.

547
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 5: If you had a great hamburger last night, you're probably

548
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 5: talking about it today, right, whatever you're excited about. So

549
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 5: if you're not talking about God and you're going through

550
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 5: the motions, I got to tell you God is no

551
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 5: longer your first love. That's right, you've left your first love.

552
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 5: But he's saying to all of us, repent and come

553
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 5: back to me. That's that's that's that's a serious message, that.

554
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 4: That first love. Yeah, yeah, that.

555
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 3: When when we have lost that first love, things of

556
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 3: faith become atrophied. It says, though, like a muscle's not

557
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: being used, things aren't exciting anymore.

558
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 4: Somebody might say, hey, let's you know, let's pray, or

559
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 4: let's get together, let's let's have this time of being

560
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 4: in the world. They see it as a burden, they

561
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 4: see it as a problem, rather than this is.

562
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 5: What you see it all the time where we were

563
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 5: with Christians on a regular basis that when you get

564
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 5: through the me we say how much should we talk

565
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 5: about God? And we talked about the church, we talk

566
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 5: about different Christians, we talk about politics, but there was

567
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,719
Speaker 5: no burning. You know, just what are we doing, how

568
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 5: can we work together? And who do we need to

569
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 5: pray for it? And just being in the game. There's

570
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 5: a sense of sitting on the sideline and quite frankly,

571
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 5: only about one percentage of sharing our faith. Do you

572
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 5: know that only about one percent of us are sharing

573
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 5: this faith?

574
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 4: These are hard numbers.

575
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 5: Yes, here's here's a better number, way better number. Do

576
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 5: you know that over eighty percent of the unchurched, now

577
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 5: about ninety percent of the Church of America's unchurched. Okay,

578
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 5: over eighty percent of the unchurched know the world's out

579
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 5: of control. These are hard to tissings are on our website.

580
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 5: They know the world's out of control. They would like

581
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 5: to believe there's a God. They want to believe. They

582
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 5: want to They're looking for somebody to tell them and

583
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 5: get this. They already have at least one Christian in

584
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 5: their life that they trust. Do you realize we could

585
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 5: we could ignite America's revival about thirty days if we

586
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 5: wanted to. Yeah, put only one percent of it is

587
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 5: literally the fields are white for harvest. They are they're

588
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 5: champion of the dead. They're frightened. They want to know

589
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 5: as their God, and we're walking around keeping it under

590
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 5: the busho basket.

591
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 4: That's the problem.

592
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 5: When the church says the problem is not the world,

593
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 5: and you can't solve these problems in Washington no matter

594
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 5: what you do, that's right. Their eyes are blinded. The

595
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 5: reason they're making these stupid decisions and in legislature A

596
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 5: just being few with there's they're dumb down. God has

597
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 5: said that Satan's the ruler of this world. He's blinded

598
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 5: their eyes and they can't see truth. They see evil

599
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 5: as good and good as he.

600
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 4: We're seeing that today.

601
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 5: Who's far is that? It's ours? It's ours. I'm a layman,

602
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 5: I'm not a past hundred as one of you. We

603
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 5: got to get off the bench again of the game.

604
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 4: And we've got game. We can do this.

605
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 5: We can we get page Southern California this.

606
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 4: Year is right here. We're ready killing. And the game

607
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 4: is the gospel.

608
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 3: They've got They've got all these things barren down on

609
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 3: them the world, and the game is the gospel.

610
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 4: And so we all know we've never lived at a time.

611
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I can't say that I didn't. I

612
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 3: wasn't alive during the World War two era. I would

613
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 3: have I would have thought, I would think that that

614
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: would have brought much fear to a lot of people.

615
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: But I can't do anything about the World War two era.

616
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 3: I wasn't there. But you and I are here now,

617
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 3: and here we are so far out from COVID, and

618
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 3: yet Lisa and I have just gone on a trip and.

619
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 4: I was shocked.

620
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 3: I was shocked to be in two European countries. One

621
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 3: of them did not shut down, and it I found

622
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: it interesting because this one country that didn't shut down

623
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 3: is a country that on Sunday all the stores are

624
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 3: closed and the churches are packed.

625
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 4: Wow is that? Don't you see the correlation to this?

626
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 4: The other country.

627
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 3: Was completely shut down, terrified, terrified, suicidal, and their churches

628
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 3: didn't open, and their churches buying large state closed but

629
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 3: they were captivated by fear. But we were just there

630
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 3: and both those countries are living as though COVID had

631
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 3: never happened.

632
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 4: But then we come back to the United States the

633
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 4: other day and we see people. It shocked us because we.

634
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 3: Had spent two weeks away and we had to come

635
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 3: back to America to see a people group self imposed.

636
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 3: Right there's no mask mandate right now, is there? But

637
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 3: people terrified right now, masked up and still living as

638
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 3: though there's some germ walking down the street.

639
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 4: My point is this one has taken the place of

640
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 4: COVID is fear. It's absolute fear. And if you don't

641
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 4: know that, know it now.

642
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 3: But what it means to us as believers It's almost

643
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,959
Speaker 3: as though God is dangling before us this golden apple.

644
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 4: To go for it, because when we see the culture

645
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 4: that you and I live in, this culture needs Jesus.

646
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say like never before, because you know,

647
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 3: this country's two.

648
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 4: One hundred and fifty years old.

649
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 3: But I'm telling you, in my lifetime, this country needs

650
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 3: Jesus like it has never needed him before, and we have.

651
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 4: In fact, you and I talked about this before. I

652
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 4: love the story. Strike that wrong word. I'm getting away

653
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 4: from the word. Story.

654
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 3: I love the account of when God told Gideon, get

655
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 3: your guys together a monthly crew. Right, go read about Gideon,

656
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 3: go find some pottery. Okay, So they go get some pots.

657
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 3: And these grown men with these pots, they're holding pots,

658
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 3: and God says, light torches and put the torches inside

659
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 3: the pots. Then go out into the dark, lying yourself

660
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 3: on the slope of the mountain toward the enemy. And

661
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 3: when the trumpet is blown, I want you to break

662
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 3: the pots. And these guys, who had no hope of

663
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 3: defeating the enemy, went out there and did exactly what

664
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 3: God had said.

665
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 4: They broke the pots. The light on this hillside.

666
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 3: Came bursting forth, and the enemy began to flee in

667
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: absolute terror and panic. And Barry said, you know, Corinthians

668
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 3: tells us that we are earthen vessels, which you know,

669
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 3: if you're a chemist or a biologist, we are. We

670
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 3: are actually made out of dirt. And the Bible says

671
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 3: that we hold the truth of the Gospel in these

672
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 3: earthen vessels. And so what we're encouraging you tonight to

673
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 3: do is, when this program tonight is over, consider yourself becoming.

674
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 4: A broken vessel that shines the light.

675
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 3: From this time forward, each and every one of you

676
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 3: to determine one imagine, one time a day you're gonna

677
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 3: share Christ time out, time out.

678
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 5: Yes, that is one are those things we've been told forever.

679
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 4: Forgive me your pastor to do it. I can slave

680
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 4: you know.

681
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 5: It's just like, but this one time a day thing

682
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 5: is not correct?

683
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 4: Good?

684
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 5: Go do ude?

685
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 4: Okay?

686
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 5: Can I correct her?

687
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 4: Can I do that? I do that all day long?

688
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 5: But I mean it's as visits, you know, find somebody

689
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 5: today or somebody this week to share your faith with.

690
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 5: My question is, okay, out of all the people I'm

691
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 5: gonna be with today that are going to hell, how

692
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 5: do I pick one and how do I pick the

693
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 5: right one? You know, I got to tell you more

694
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 5: times than not when I'm sharing my faith all day long,

695
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 5: it is oftentimes the one with the with the piercing

696
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 5: and the green hair whatever that responds and tears.

697
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 4: Isn't that true?

698
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 5: And so we have no idea what's going on behind

699
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 5: that facade. So that's why this is the key phrase, folks.

700
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 5: If we could encourage you tonight to walk out tonight

701
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 5: and say, for now until I breathe my last breath,

702
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 5: I God, I want to move everybody every day closer

703
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 5: Jesus every day.

704
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 4: Everybody are right? Move everybody every day? Do you hear

705
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 4: me on this?

706
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 5: We can do that. As you say, what can happen

707
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 5: between now and Sunday? Oh my goodness, I mean it

708
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 5: would be incredible. And we got talked about what we

709
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 5: can do that as a church body. How about the

710
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 5: church that are watching us right now? We I mean

711
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 5: we we we got game. We need to ignite. That's

712
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 5: a good word, to ignite. We need to ignite that.

713
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 5: You talked about fear. Could I talk off about fear

714
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 5: for instament or you go where.

715
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 4: You were going talk about? Can I interrect you? Boy?

716
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 4: I'm getting really rude.

717
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 5: I only have you go how many of you tonight

718
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 5: would say that you live your life by Proverbs three five?

719
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 5: Trust the Lord with your whole heart. Need not understand

720
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 5: all your ways, acknowledge him and what he will direct

721
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 5: your past. You know, we have a bit of a

722
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 5: problem with that. Yeah, I know you said it, but

723
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 5: you don't mean it. The church today is full of

724
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 5: scriptures that we quote, we sing, we share, and we

725
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 5: don't live them. That's one of the most key ones.

726
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 5: Do you trust the Lord with your whole heart? You know,

727
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 5: the statistics tell us sense. We look at several studies,

728
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 5: so they come in us so we know that we're

729
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 5: talking clearly here. Over eighty percent of Americans, including Christians,

730
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 5: or living in fear. They're living in fear over eighty percent.

731
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 5: I mean, we're an exceptional church. We may maybe it's

732
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 5: a seventy five here, but you get the point living

733
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 5: in fear. You say, we're living in faith. But then, uh,

734
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 5: you know what's going to go on. I'm gonna lose

735
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 5: my job, and I got this health issue and I

736
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 5: don't have my income, and this Trump get elected, or

737
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 5: I mean, the things we get to we hold up

738
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 5: is just really important to our life. All kinds of

739
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,919
Speaker 5: things can be afraid of. The byline on this book

740
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 5: here is defeat fear with effortless faith, with effortless faith.

741
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 5: How will you relate to defeat fear with effortless faith? Yeah, yeah,

742
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 5: well that's what we're talking about here. You might it's

743
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 5: a good book. You might want to buy this footcuting

744
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 5: that you're like movie selling out in the patio, or

745
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 5: they will put up a cure code later on. But

746
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 5: you defeat fear with effortless face. You can't conjure faith,

747
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 5: can you. I mean, you got a problem and you're

748
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 5: gonna en So just you pray and you pray, but

749
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 5: no matter how hard you pray, you still have this doubt.

750
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 5: We've been there with fifty years of this. I know

751
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 5: what I'm talking about. You just and we can get

752
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 5: together and we can raise our voices God, we trust you,

753
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 5: and God say I don't care about the sound of

754
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 5: your voice, and look at your hearts and you don't

755
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 5: trust me, you know?

756
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 4: Can I interrupt you on this? This is church family.

757
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 3: This is a big deal because some of you have

758
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 3: come from from faith groups where they have told you.

759
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 4: Just just good enough. Just get more faith, Just get

760
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 4: more faith, come on, reach.

761
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 3: Down and get it, like like it's like it's you know,

762
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 3: like it's the water in a bucket, and you're just

763
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 3: gonna do just claim it, just just just this. And

764
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,959
Speaker 3: they hype it, and they hype it, and they push

765
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 3: it and they hype it, and yet there's nothing substantial

766
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 3: to that and varies. Right, it's not the the robrado

767
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 3: of your prayer voice. It's not the the enthusiasm by.

768
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 4: Which you no, it's none of that. It's literally realizing.

769
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 3: And I think the church, I think the church in

770
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 3: the world, certainly in the West, suffers from this terribly.

771
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 3: And that is we seem to be content, okay with

772
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 3: people around us going to Hell because we don't share.

773
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 3: If we really believe. William Booth said this, the founder

774
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 3: of the Salvation Army. He said, if I could take

775
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 3: my he called his people, his soldiers, he said, if

776
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 3: I could take our soldiers, fellow evangelists and suspend them

777
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 3: over Hell for five minutes so they could see it, Yeah, yeah,

778
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 3: they would never backslide. And you think about that, if

779
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,479
Speaker 3: we really believed that when a person breathed their last

780
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 3: breath without Christ that it's a christless eternity. We would

781
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 3: be motivated to tell people and we wind up loving

782
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 3: our own fear and intimidation more than that person's soul

783
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 3: because we talk ourselves out of sharing Christ with that

784
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 3: person and I'll prove it to you.

785
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 4: Instead of getting to the point, we'll dance around the point.

786
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 3: Well, we know the spirit of God is speaking to

787
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 3: share with that individual, but we'll fumble and walk up

788
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 3: and say do.

789
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 4: You believe in God? Yes?

790
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 3: I do?

791
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 4: Oh good, and walk away. That doesn't work.

792
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 3: That's not evangelism, and that's not moving anybody closer to Jesus.

793
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,919
Speaker 4: It's actually letting them care.

794
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 3: And sometimes look, don't think that Barry's just talking about

795
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 3: the person that you pass by at that store or

796
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 3: at that restaurant.

797
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 4: Just you know, once in a lifetime moment it includes

798
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 4: that person. But what about.

799
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 3: The power that you have to share with the people

800
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 3: that you see on a consistent basis at work or

801
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 3: in your neighborhood.

802
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 4: That is powerful stuff, it is.

803
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 5: But at the same time, right right, I mean, we're

804
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 5: all I have pastors tell me you know that's for you.

805
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 4: You're in the world.

806
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 5: I'm a pastor and so I don't. I don't get

807
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 5: to do that. And I say to them, do you

808
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 5: never go to Starbucks?

809
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. You never go to Walmart. You never

810
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 4: get in a a in a in a waiting room,

811
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 4: you know.

812
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 5: I mean, are you just you just stay away from

813
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 5: well knowing well, every time you do that, you're everywhere

814
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 5: you go, you're surround by eighty percent of the people

815
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 5: are are are unsaved even when they say they're saved,

816
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 5: they're not. Even Christians and Church aren't saved. They say

817
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 5: they're saved. So it's crazy. Just go back to this

818
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 5: trust for a moment, because I think it's pretty critical.

819
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 5: And you're right, people are having a problem. Say you

820
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 5: just gotta trust. It sounds so ecclesiastical. So that's why

821
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 5: I go, I gotta trust for But the more you try,

822
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 5: you can't do that.

823
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 4: Folks.

824
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 5: You must know that you can't just trust yourself into trust.

825
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 5: You can't do it. It's impossible. So how do you

826
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 5: get to whole hearted trust? You wanted to direct your steps? Right,

827
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 5: you want God direct your steps? You have to have

828
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 5: whole hearted trust before he'll direct your steps. Well, he

829
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 5: can do anything. He's somber, but you know, for a

830
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 5: fact that he's directing your steps when you have whole

831
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,959
Speaker 5: hearted faith. Okay, there's a lot of scriptures that play

832
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 5: to that. James One talks about I will give you

833
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 5: what you pray for, but don't waiver. If you waver

834
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 5: when you're praying between faith and worrying, you're like a

835
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 5: wave of the sea driven by the wind and toss here.

836
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 5: You're a double minded man. Let not that man expect

837
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 5: to receive anything from me. What he's basically saying is,

838
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 5: if you're wavering, he has no obligation to answer your prayers.

839
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 5: Do you want to pray prayers where you don't know

840
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 5: he's answering your prayers? If you're worrying tonight, that's where

841
00:46:54,760 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 5: you are. He makes it very clear. Okay, think about that.

842
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 5: I mean it's crazy. So how do you get to

843
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 5: wholehearted faith? That's the issue. There's a scripture that we

844
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 5: all know that most Christians almost act like it's not there,

845
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 5: or they quote a lot all things work together for good.

846
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 5: You know, we all he didn't know that, but do

847
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 5: you believe it? Almost everybody here because it was not

848
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 5: working real good for me right now? You know that

849
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 5: must be for somebody else that worked for me. You

850
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 5: have to read the whole scripture. When he said I

851
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 5: came to seek and say the loss, that none be lost.

852
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 5: There's gonna be a lot of folks loss. In fact,

853
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 5: most peo will be lost. There's a thing about confessing

854
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 5: your sins and bending your knee and excepting Jesus Christ

855
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 5: as your savior and your lord.

856
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 4: It's a teamwork. We come together.

857
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 5: So he says, I promise you. Isn't God talking. He

858
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 5: means that he doesn't fool around. He promises every single

859
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 5: one of you, I will make everything for now until

860
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 5: you get to heaven.

861
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 4: For those of you who are Christians, think about it.

862
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 5: He's promised every one of us, every one of you,

863
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 5: that he'll make everything in your life work together for good.

864
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 5: If you do two things, it's a whole. It's a

865
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 5: You got to read those verse right. To those who

866
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 5: love me, that's it. First love right, and you love him,

867
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 5: you do the first work. To those who love me.

868
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 4: To those who live for my purpose, that's it. That's it.

869
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 5: We're always looking for our purpose. Here more of yours

870
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 5: that I'm praying for God suventing with God's for it.

871
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 5: He didn't have a purpose for you. I'm sorry he doesn't.

872
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 5: He has a plan for you to fulfill his purpose.

873
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 5: We live for one purpose, to seek and save the lost.

874
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 5: That's his purpose for you. And when you live in that,

875
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 5: you live in the promise.

876
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 4: Think about it.

877
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 5: When you live in that, when you're doing that, when

878
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 5: you live every day to move everybody, every day closer

879
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 5: to Jesus. He makes sure everything in your life works

880
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 5: together for good. You can't get better than that. I mean,

881
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 5: after John three six, I don't know a better verse

882
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 5: in the entire Bible. And we just kind of passed

883
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,919
Speaker 5: it off because, you know, just we quote that first

884
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 5: part and go on and pay no attention to it.

885
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 4: It's exactly right.

886
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you pointed it out, because remember when

887
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 3: Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness.

888
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 4: You guys are aware of this.

889
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 3: Do you remember what Satan did when he was quoting

890
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 3: the Bible? By the way, he did the same thing

891
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 3: with Eve in the garden.

892
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 4: He he misquotes the scripture.

893
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 5: But it's so.

894
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 3: It's so subtle that even you have to read the

895
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 3: verse a few times to figure.

896
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 4: Out what's wrong, what's the what's the mistake? Here.

897
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 3: It's absolutely remarkable. When Satan is tempting Eve away from God,

898
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 3: he drops a word, or he'll add a word when

899
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 3: he's trying to get Jesus to stop trusting his father

900
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 3: in the wilderness of Judea when he was starving to death, and.

901
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 4: Satan drops just a word.

902
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 3: So when we say, well, you know, all things work

903
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 3: together for good, what are you talking about?

904
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 4: Literally? That could be in a fortune cookie.

905
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 3: It has no power, you see pasture Jack, How dare

906
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 3: you say that you're quoting the Bible. That's not the Bible.

907
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 3: That's you're using a third of the verse. Satan would

908
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 3: probably use eighty percent of the verse. Yeah, but you

909
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 3: said it exactly right. The prerequisite is to love God. Friends,

910
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 3: listen for all of us right now. This is a

911
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 3: great exhortation coming from Barry. If we decide tonight and

912
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 3: you can.

913
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 4: To love God.

914
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 3: And secondly to live according to His purposes, listen, then

915
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 3: why should we worry? How can we work? I have

916
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 3: found in my life that the early years of my Christianity,

917
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 3: worrying was really a habit that I took over from

918
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 3: my unbelieving life, and I carried it into my Christianity.

919
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 4: And it didn't work.

920
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 3: It didn't go well because I would pray, Listen, I

921
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 3: would pray and then wonder why nothing's happening. Because I

922
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 3: was that man in the Book of James. I was

923
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 3: asking God, but I was wavering. I was doubting if

924
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 3: God would even do such a thing. But when I

925
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 3: love him, that's a decision you make. And I say, tonight, Lord,

926
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 3: because I love you, I want to live according to your.

927
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 4: Plan, your purpose for my life. Then what happens from

928
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 4: this moment forward is to do Proverbs three. It's to

929
00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 4: actually enjoy what was the subtimee to defeat fear with

930
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 4: effortless faith.

931
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:10,280
Speaker 3: That almost sounds crazy, but it's not when you realize,

932
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 3: remember faith, it's not the faith.

933
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 4: Just have more faith. Forget that. Don't let anybody tell you, dude,

934
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 4: you just need more faith.

935
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 3: No, you know, what what we need is a more

936
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 3: clear view of God when we see the object of

937
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 3: our faith is not faith. The object of our faith

938
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 3: is God when we see him. That's what listen, That's

939
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 3: what Sundays and Wednesdays are for. To fuel you, fuel

940
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 3: you and fill you with more knowledge of Him so

941
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 3: that your faith is growing, so that you go out

942
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 3: there more boldly to tell others, because listen, God will

943
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 3: see to it that your life will be living out

944
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 3: the purpose for which He created it.

945
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 4: And it's absolutely Back.

946
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 3: In the old days, we would say live recklessly for Jesus, because.

947
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 5: You know that's it.

948
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 4: It's you.

949
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,240
Speaker 5: You don't need to worry the reckless abandoned.

950
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 4: There's no fear. It's freedom. I got to tell you.

951
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 4: It's freedom.

952
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 5: When you know God's making everything in life work together

953
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 5: for good, it immediately ends fear. It's gone. Karen and

954
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 5: I do not live in fear. I don't mind saying,

955
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 5: how can you say that we don't live in fear.

956
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 5: Bad things happen to us. A lot of bad things

957
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 5: happen to us. We don't fear it. In fact, with

958
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 5: bad things happen to us. Now, we don't pray about

959
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 5: it anymore. I know the prayers of a righteous man

960
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 5: availed as much. I understand all those, but also know

961
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 5: He knows my petition before you even give them, And

962
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 5: so bad stuff comes in. We just say, you know

963
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 5: we're going, okay, God, here you go again. You have

964
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 5: something to teach us, or you know it's somebody going

965
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,479
Speaker 5: to come in. You know, you have a flat turn.

966
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 5: You're on your way to a big appointment. Oh thanks

967
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 5: a lot, God, that's that's where are you now? I

968
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 5: need right when I needed, you know. And then the

969
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 5: guy comes from trip away and he starts working with Arry,

970
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 5: has a bad countenance. You started interchanging with him and

971
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 5: find out his son just committed suicide the night before,

972
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 5: and you realize what it's all about. And then you

973
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 5: find out to me you're going to got canceled anyway.

974
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 5: I mean, that's these these things happen, they're real life.

975
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 5: This is this is how life works. So when you

976
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 5: see it, when things are going wrong in your life,

977
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 5: let me tell you God's up to something and it's

978
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,040

Speaker 5: That's freedom. Yeah, that's freedom. I'll give you a couple

981
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 5: of examples.

982
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 4: I'll give you one.

983
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 5: But you know, I was in the hospital twenty ten.

984
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 4: I was dying.

985
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 5: Doctors gave up on me. We had people, and some

986
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 5: people were here even tonight praying and crying and whatever

987
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 5: cared and I didn't cry, and he brought us through that.

988
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 5: It's a long story. If you want to read about it,

989
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 5: it's in the book. But I mean that was that

990
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,479
Speaker 5: was we lost our our forty nine year old daughter.

991
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 5: We have two daughters, and our forty nine year old

992
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 5: daughter died on us four years ago last week.

993
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 4: Kind of tough.

994
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 5: We didn't lose our joy and she was a prolific face.

995
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 5: Share that people have come to the lord since then.

996
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 5: You can actually go to her. Go to YouTube Nicole

997
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 5: Maguire's celebration of life. Over eleven thousand people have watched

998
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 5: a video of a funeral and many of them had

999
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 5: gotten saved. Right. So I'm a businessman. If I can

1000
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 5: tell you the things we've been through in business, oh

1001
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 5: my goodness. But I ended up with my dad passed away,

1002
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,439
Speaker 5: his brother passed away, ended up with a half brother.

1003
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 5: He never waxed the car in his life, and he

1004
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 5: was he was just tonally contake hers as two sons.

1005
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 5: They hated me, and they sold their half of the

1006
00:55:55,200 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 5: company to a joint venture partner. And we put together

1007
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 5: their board and I had three board members. He had

1008
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 5: three board members, all attorneys, and then we elected a

1009
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,879
Speaker 5: seventh independent board member. What I found out too late

1010
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 5: was he always bought off the seventh the odd number

1011
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 5: of board members who can control it.

1012
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 4: When I found out.

1013
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 5: The next one is going to throw me out of

1014
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 5: my company. I was sixty five years old, my income

1015
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:26,439
Speaker 5: was gone. I hadn't prepared for retirement at that point.

1016
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 5: My reputation, you know my testimony. There's Barry Maguire, the Christian.

1017
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 5: He just lost his company. Where's his God? Now, that's

1018
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 5: why I was facing that night. Okay, you know what

1019
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 5: I prayed. I almost didn't pray, but I did pray.

1020
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 5: Say God, there's gonna be the shortest prayer of my

1021
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,240
Speaker 5: life because I ask you for nothing, I want nothing.

1022
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 4: I love you. You're in control because of two things.

1023
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 4: You know I live for your purpose. I do it

1024
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 4: every day.

1025
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 5: You know I live for your I know you onto

1026
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 5: your word, and that means he's gonna make it for good.

1027
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 5: I didn't know how that's exactly, But as God, I'm

1028
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 5: telling you I have experienced, Karen, I have experience of

1029
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 5: fifty years of living this.

1030
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:14,839
Speaker 4: We know what we're talking about.

1031
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 5: That's what the stories in here are pretty instantly. But

1032
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 5: more important, there's scriptures. If you just read the scriptures

1033
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 5: in this book through twenty six chapters, at the end,

1034
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 5: you're gonna be jumping for joy and getting other schedua

1035
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 5: that the scriptures alone will get you there. So that night,

1036
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 5: as God's listened to me, right now, he's checking me.

1037
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 5: But that night I crawled in bed. I went to

1038
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 5: sleep immediately. I didn't toss and turn. I slept all night.

1039
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 5: I never woke up. I woke up fresh, and I

1040
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 5: went to my attorney's office the next morning to take

1041
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 5: that conference call.

1042
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 4: Right, you got to read the.

1043
00:57:53,040 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 5: Book who No, You gotta tell them in about eight minutes.

1044
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 4: Eight minutes.

1045
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 5: It took eight minutes, and my joint venture party was

1046
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 5: so he was cussing me out. It was GD this

1047
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 5: and f and this and all this stuff. And I

1048
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 5: broke out laughing. It was hilarious. I mean, it's fun

1049
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 5: serving God and knowing that you're living in the promise.

1050
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 5: I call it the fog. Follow the nudge, Live in

1051
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 5: the fog. Follow the nudge, Live in the fog.

1052
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:41,479
Speaker 4: We all know what the nudge is. Bill just found

1053
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 4: out that he's got cancer. I need to call him.

1054
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 5: Oh, but I don't know what I gotta say. I

1055
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 5: let somebody else talk to him. You know, I'm sitting

1056
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 5: with an unsaved friend, and almost every time they're pouring

1057
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 5: out their heart about how bad things are, I should

1058
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 5: pray for them.

1059
00:58:58,160 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 4: Oh, but if I have for that, he'll think I'm

1060
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 4: a fool. And if I could lose my business or

1061
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 4: you know, the sale or whatever.

1062
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 5: You walk by somebody, you see them hurting, and I

1063
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 5: should help.

00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 4: But you know, I got you know, I'm busy.

1081
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 5: not that you may know more. He says, Ultimately, this

1082
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 5: is not by trusting more, not by conjuring up more trust,

1083
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 5: not by having more prayer meetings. And sorry, I believe

1084
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 5: in prayer meetings group ready.

1085
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 4: I don't want to mock all that.

1086
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 5: But the fact of the matter is, he says, when

1087
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 5: you're my witness, when you're living for my purpose, that

1088
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 5: you may know and believe in understand.

1089
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 4: That I am God.

1090
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 5: Wow, I mean that's the credit. You caught what I'm saying.

1091
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 5: This is amazing. This is a life changer. It'll change

1092
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 5: every life in this room. It can change still in California.

1093
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 5: If we if we light this spark here and we

1094
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 5: resolve all of us, we're going to move everybody every

1095
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 5: day close to you. We can take all the largeness

1096
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 5: of what we get from this fabulous church and give

1097
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 5: it legs and take it out.

1098
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 4: He can't do it by himself.

1099
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 5: He's teaching it. We can't have more. There's no better

1100
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 5: church than chadkivs of this church. But we're sitting around

1101
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 5: and doing nothing about it. And we can vote and

1102
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 5: we can do all. So we need to get involved

1103
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 5: in the political process. All that, but the number one

1104
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 5: thing we're called to do sheriff ey live for God's purpose.

1105
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking at this and I'm blown away because

1106
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 4: that statement I am understand that, I am he.

1107
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 3: You guys know that that's what Jesus and John's Gospel

1108
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 3: specifically stated. I think seven times the I am statements

1109
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 3: of Christ. Many of us remember a guy at calvi Costa,

1110
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 3: Mesa years back, and I love the fact that God

1111
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 3: died for our sins, not our personalities, because the man

1112
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 3: I'm going to mention it's completely different than Barring, It's

1113
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 3: completely different than me, than all of us.

1114
01:01:54,880 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 4: We're all different. But through the proverbial school of hard knocks, he.

1115
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 3: He learned the value of sharing Christ in places where

1116
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 3: none of us could get to and very unique ways.

1117
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 3: And I'm talking about Chuck Missler. If anybody remembers him,

1118
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 3: he would be able to share Jesus in boardrooms and

1119
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 3: and on, you know, the the most unique situations where

1120
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 3: nobody gets into.

1121
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 4: But he learned that through.

1122
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 3: Very difficult, impossible times, God came through. And I think,

1123
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 3: if I remember right, he he went bankrupt I think

1124
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 3: three or four times by business is being taken out

1125
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 3: from underneath his feet and why and you know, having

1126
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 3: nothing and through that process trusting God again and again

1127
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 3: and in his then his.

1128
01:02:57,760 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 4: Marriage almost felled apart.

1129
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 3: And God spoke to him and said, you're the one

1130
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 3: that's destroying this marriage. You're the one that needs to

1131
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 3: well put your faith in me in one of the

1132
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 3: things that we struggle with. And I used to think

1133
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 3: it's a it's a man's thing, but I don't think

1134
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 3: it's a man's thing anymore.

1135
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 4: I think it's in everybody's thing, and that.

1136
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 3: Is we'll fix it. I think I can make it through.

1137
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 3: I can take care of this, and you probably can.

1138
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 3: But the problem is it's not going to last. It

1139
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 3: won't endure, and you're just putting a band aid on

1140
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 3: something that God wants to actually either completely fix or

1141
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 3: remove from your life.

1142
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 4: But this God, that is the I am.

1143
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 3: When Barry says you don't need to worry, when we say, look,

1144
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 3: I grew up in a home.

1145
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 4: My mother could have gotten a master's or a doctorate

1146
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 4: degree in worrying. She was a master.

1147
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 3: She was amazing at it. She would literally worry about

1148
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 3: tomorrow's son coming up. She worried about everything. And so

1149
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 3: I inherited a lot of that, and then I met

1150
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 3: Jesus and he just began to push that out of

1151
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 3: my life. But the joy of having him in control. Friends, Listen,

1152
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 3: this world will throw you some pretty mean fastballs, and

1153
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 3: there's nothing fair in this life.

1154
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 4: You need to just wake up to that right now.

1155
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 4: There's nothing fair in this world but God.

1156
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 3: And when he does this, when he does this work

1157
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 3: in the life of those who decide to love him

1158
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 3: and to live their life for His purpose, we're not

1159
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 3: kidding when we tell you you don't need to worry.

1160
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 3: You can literally rest your life and your concerns in

1161
01:04:56,200 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 3: his care. Because that Chuck miss in a Wednesday Night

1162
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 3: Bible study said something that Lisa and I we've not

1163
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 3: forgotten it over forty years.

1164
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 4: He said, you know, when we worry rather than trust God.

1165
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 3: When we worry, we are assuming to ourselves a responsibility

1166
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 3: that was never intended to be ours. You think that

1167
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 3: through for a moment. The proof of that is ninety

1168
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 3: nine percent of the stuff you worry.

1169
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 4: About never happens.

1170
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely, we're falling for Satan's tricks to keep us bound

1171
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,959
Speaker 3: and intimidated so that we sit silent and we don't

1172
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 3: see the marvelous.

1173
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 5: Work of when we're worrying, we're saying God, I don't

1174
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 5: trust you.

1175
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1176
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 5: True, it's offense to God. I got to tell you

1177
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 5: if it offends God. When we're worrying, it just shouts

1178
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 5: the message I don't trust you. I got to work

1179
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 5: it out mysel because I don't trust you. God's that's

1180
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 5: not right.

1181
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 4: We don't.

1182
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 5: We don't get beat up. Yeah I'm sorry. Another thing

1183
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 5: we hear bless those who who persecute you.

1184
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 4: You know, like you're gonna get it.

1185
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 5: I've never been persecuted. We've been sharing our faith every

1186
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 5: day for fifty years. We've never been persecuted, never got

1187
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 5: anybody mad at us. You know, you don't get people

1188
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 5: mad at you when you tell them God loves you.

1189
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 5: If you had to for the fringing their eye and

1190
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 5: say you know you're going to hell. I mean, there's

1191
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 5: nothing you can do. But when you take the other

1192
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 5: side and you're just sharing, it doesn't take you out

1193
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 5: of your comfort zone. You just say in your comfort zone.

1194
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 5: For Christians, we love on people.

1195
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 4: That's what we do.

1196
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 5: And so you just share love. You love on people,

1197
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 5: and it may take it, it may go an inch.

1198
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 4: You a mile.

1199
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 5: But whatever it is, you just flow with it. You

1200
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 5: know what, within five minutes, people will tell you things

1201
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 5: they won't tell they're best friends. It's the most amazing thing.

1202
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 5: They will open up and sho hear things with you.

1203
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 5: We got slit up on an airplane and Karen, we

1204
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 5: didn't it wasn't it. But when we got split up,

1205
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 5: we said, well we must be God's in it. You know,

1206
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 5: it happens every time. And a young gul sat beside

1207
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 5: me and she saw I had a Bible and she

1208
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 5: asked your pastor to no, what are you a Christian?

1209
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 5: And I'm a missus man, but I love the Lord

1210
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 5: and she well, God does love me very much and

1211
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 5: I can't love me, and what are you talking about?

1212
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,959
Speaker 5: And she was in a lesbian affair. And I said,

1213
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 5: you have no idea how much God loves you. And

1214
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 5: she looked at me like there's no way. So I

1215
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 5: mean you just you go into it, by the way

1216
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 5: to say, we're we're landing. I'm praying for her as

1217
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 5: we're landing, right, And it was just a chance, I get.

1218
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 5: We got a million stories on those things. But there's

1219
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 5: people all around you when you loved on them, the

1220
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 5: Holy Spirit confirms with them. God's already dealing with everybody.

1221
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 5: He's already dealing with them. And so when you come

1222
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 5: into any conversation, there is nothing secular. Folks, I got

1223
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 5: to tell you, there's nothing in your life, Chris, hear me,

1224
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 5: there's nothing in your life that's secular.

1225
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 4: That's right.

1226
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 5: It's all spiritual. That you're in full time ministry. Every

1227
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 5: conversation you have is spiritual. You'd understand that.

1228
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 4: There's so many things.

1229
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 5: Understand the rapetity of a scripture that hits it over

1230
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 5: and over again. First love we love him first, and

1231
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 5: if you love him first, you do the first work.

1232
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 5: Then it's what's the most important commandment? He says, the

1233
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 5: very same thing, Love the other, love me first. And

1234
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 5: then love your neighbor as yourself. You know, if you

1235
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 5: love your neighbor as yourself, and your labor is everybody

1236
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 5: around you. If you love your neighbors yourself, you love yours,

1237
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 5: concerned for their salvation as you are your own. In fact,

1238
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 5: you may be their only hope. So that changes everything

1239
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 5: that you do. You may say to me, and I

1240
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:56,440
Speaker 5: get people say, you mean, if I do that indulgence,

1241
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 5: you know I'm going to go to hell now? But

1242
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 5: is that in all just helping you lead people to Jesus?

1243
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:02,639
Speaker 4: Really?

1244
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 5: From the things you look at, the things you laugh at,

1245
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 5: the things you wear, on and on and on. So

1246
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 5: all of a sudden you start bringing everything not because

1247
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:13,520
Speaker 5: you want to be inside.

1248
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 4: The law and be you know, be legal.

1249
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 5: You just want to have the joy of knowing everything

1250
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 5: I'm doing is moving people closer.

1251
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 4: Isn't an amazing beery that that young woman knew that

01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 4: she was in She knew, she.

1253
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 3: Knew because the Holy Spirit, that spirit had gone before

01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:32,720
Speaker 3: you catch capture this.

1255
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 5: There's a word salvationing. When God loves you, he's salvationing

01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:52,440
Speaker 5: It's so incredible.

01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:02,440
Speaker 5: yes you're talking to him, but he he is also salvationing.

Speaker 4: People through you. That changes every conversation.

1265
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,719

Speaker 4: Barry, that sounds great. I'm gonna get right on that.

1272
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 4: But I've already left the trail behind me.

1273
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 3: I've got a neighbor that I've blown my witness with,

1274
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:44,680
Speaker 3: or I've or family, whatever it is, what would you

1275
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 3: say to them?

1276
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 4: Rather than write off that neighbor or that family member that.

1277
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,760
Speaker 3: You've blown your witness with, which I personally believe that

1278
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 3: there's a powerful God given tool in that situation.

1279
01:10:56,760 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 4: But what would you say to somebody who thinks, well, I'm.

01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 4: less all the time.

1284
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:15,160

1385
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 5: There was an impact on his life. I don't know

1386
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 5: where that went. I mean, you have your moment and

1387
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 5: go on, but I want to tell you what it

1388
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 5: did for our lives. What do you think it did

1389
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,719
Speaker 5: for our faith? Do you think anyway's going to challenge

1390
01:15:57,760 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 5: our faith? Do you think you might could take our

1391
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 5: faith away from it away? Isaay forty three ten. I

1392
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 5: point you as my witness so that you will believe.

1393
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 5: And we have those all the time, and the joy

1394
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 5: keeps building, and it gets so much fun, and life

1395
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 5: is somewhere. We're eighty years old, we're having the time

1396
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 5: of our lives, and it's just you know, it's as

1397
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:21,160
Speaker 5: amazing as But you don't have to wait till you're eighty.

1398
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:23,760
Speaker 5: You know, you can start it right now.

1399
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 3: This we can't stress enough that this is the key

1400
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 3: to your Christianity is sharing your faith.

1401
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 4: When you look at the opening moments of.

1402
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:38,759
Speaker 3: The Book of Acts, for example, or the gospels, notice

1403
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 3: that this brother in the gospel goes and shares with

1404
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 3: his brother, or this person shares with the other.

1405
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 4: And.

1406
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 3: Just the organic nature of God. You jarred my memory.

1407
01:16:55,680 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 3: I have not had this thought in decades. Well, Lisa

1408
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 3: and I were married at the time. Early it was

1409
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 3: Newport Beach. I remember walking by the pier. We were

1410
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:18,200
Speaker 3: sharing with people the gospel. It was a Saturday night.

1411
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:22,559
Speaker 3: There was a I don't know what they call them today,

1412
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 3: but you know what a chopper gang is with the

1413
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 3: leather jackets and the sleeveless and these guys were huge.

1414
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 3: They were just huge, intimidating guys. And they're drinking and cussing,

1415
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 3: and they had a girl on each arm. And I

1416
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:48,559
Speaker 3: had my Bible and I had this feeling of oh man,

1417
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 3: these guys are drunk, they're mouthing off. I don't know

1418
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 3: what's going to happen next. We just need to walk faster.

1419
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,839
Speaker 3: Let's just walk faster, because this is kind of scary.

1420
01:17:58,960 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 4: This is kind of spooky.

1421
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 3: And you could tell, you know, that sense of discernment

1422
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 3: where this is this, go go rout. These guys could

1423
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 3: start throwing motorcycles through windows.

1424
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:15,840
Speaker 4: It's bad. I mean, they were big enough. And I

1425
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 4: got past them, and a friend of ours was with us,

1426
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 4: and you mentioned the nudge. The nudge hit me and

1427
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 4: the thought was this in my mind and this is

1428
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 4: not me.

1429
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 3: Remember I've told you guys often that when God speaks

1430
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:36,799
Speaker 3: to you, he'll use your voice, but he'll use words

1431
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 3: that you know are not yours.

1432
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 4: In your head, oh yeah, oh yeah, and this is

1433
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 4: what was in my head. I died for them.

1434
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:53,560
Speaker 3: As I died for you. I died for you, and

1435
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 3: I died for them, and I knew exactly what that meant.

1436
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 3: And I told my buddy, I said, we have to

1437
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:02,759
Speaker 3: go tell those guys the gospel.

1438
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I walked up and I didn't know what

1439
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 4: to say. And I'm telling you, guys, they're massively intimidating,

1440
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 4: huge and drunk. And so God had me walk up

1441
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 4: to the biggest one of them all. No, I'm serious.

1442
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 4: I walked straight up to the guy and I said,

1443
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 4: excuse me, before you kill me. No, I'm serious.

1444
01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 3: God's my witness. I said, excuse me before you kill me.

1445
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:38,719
Speaker 3: I'm a Christian and I want to tell you the Gospel.

1446
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:42,639
Speaker 3: And the guy just goes, oh, that's funny, man, that's

1447
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 3: fun Hey, guys, this guy wants to tell me the

1448
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 3: good news.

1449
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:49,640
Speaker 6: So what is it.

1450
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 4: Well?

1451
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 3: I started telling him the gospel and a couple of

1452
01:19:56,160 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 3: guys were laughing and he said, shut up, go on.

1453
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 3: Gave him the gospel and it was so sad, but

1454
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 3: maybe not hopefully in eternity. He said, listen, I have

1455
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 3: to stop you right there.

1456
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 4: He said.

1457
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:20,519
Speaker 3: I grew up in the church, saiding, I know the gospel,

1458
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 3: but I've never lived it. And he said, you know, listen,

1459
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:30,679
Speaker 3: I guarantee you God would not want me in his heaven.

1460
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:35,439
Speaker 3: So you think about right there, you're thinking the exact

1461
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:36,920
Speaker 3: same thing I was thinking at that moment.

1462
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 4: This is exactly the people. You're exactly the.

1463
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:47,080
Speaker 3: Person, Yes, that God wants in heaven. Yes, you're exactly

1464
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 3: the person. And he goes, Nope, no, he goes, I'm

1465
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,639
Speaker 3: going to get on this bike someday, I don't know when,

1466
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 3: and I'm just gonna take this thing up to full

1467
01:20:57,600 --> 01:20:59,599
Speaker 3: speed and I'm just going to roll off the back

1468
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 3: of this bike because I know Heaven would never have me.

1469
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 4: And I said, you're absolutely wrong, and I'm going to

1470
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 4: be praying that you never do.

1471
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 3: That, but that you accept Christ. And I walked away

1472
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:16,479
Speaker 3: and there was a there was a silence. There was

1473
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 3: a quiet this in that group. And I just walked away.

1474
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 4: And I have to tell you there wasn't a release

1475
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 4: and a relief of Oh I made it out alive

1476
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 4: that never entered my mind.

1477
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 3: There was a there was a bitter sweet, there was

1478
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 3: an aching joy, if that makes any sense. I flew

1479
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 3: over the target, so to speak. I dropped the bomb.

1480
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 3: I did the mission. But even though he didn't accept Christ, the.

1481
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:50,519
Speaker 4: Joy was in obedience to what God had told me

1482
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:50,800
Speaker 4: to do.

1483
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:54,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I knew that the way it happened, the

1484
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 3: way it came about, was under God's control my prayer,

1485
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 3: and it went on for a long time. Lord, don't

1486
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 3: let that guy die like that. And I have to believe,

1487
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 3: you know, Listen, God is so good. I'm not gonna

1488
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna grab a rabbit's foot and rub it

1489
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 3: and say, oh, it's all, it.

1490
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 4: All, It's all good. He's fine, he's in heaven. I

1491
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 4: don't know that, but I know this.

1492
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:20,800
Speaker 3: Isaiah fifty five to eleven says God says, my word

1493
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:25,680
Speaker 3: will never return void. It will accomplish the very thing

1494
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 3: for which I sent it. So as we wrap this up,

1495
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 3: think about this for a moment. Two absolutely opposite individuals,

1496
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 3: both in lifestyle and in body size and conduct, God.

1497
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 4: Engineered to meet up over one centrality of issue, which

1498
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 4: was the gospel. And the result is up to God. Listen,

1499
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 4: none of us are going to save anybody. He saves.

1500
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 4: He's determined already at the.

1501
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 3: Cross how that works. We are just to tell people

1502
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 3: who he is and there's power in your testimony. Tell

1503
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 3: people what He's done in your life. And if you must,

1504
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:22,719
Speaker 3: you can say to people at the grocery store, listen,

1505
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 3: don't think I'm crazy, but I believe God has prompted

1506
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 3: my heart to say to you, is there anything that

1507
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:34,000
Speaker 3: I can pray for you? For ninety percent of the time,

1508
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 3: maybe higher people are going to say, yeah, you know what,

1509
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 3: my daughter's really sick. When that door opens. Even in

1510
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:45,760
Speaker 3: your prayer, you can say, Lord, I just pray for

1511
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 3: this young man's baby girl, this daughter. And Jesus, if

1512
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 3: you died on the cross for our sins and you

1513
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 3: rose again from the dead to give us eternal life.

1514
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 4: You've got the power to heal this little girl.

1515
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 3: That may, Lord, if it be your will, by the

1516
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,600
Speaker 3: time this man gets home from this store, that that.

1517
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 4: Baby be healed. We leave that in your care in Jesus' name. Amen.

1518
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 4: You just shared love, You just cared. You gave them

1519
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 4: the Gospel, and you gave them hope, and the rest

1520
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 4: is up to God. Yeah, but what if leave it

1521
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 4: to God? Leave it to God? Very Yeah, you wrap

1522
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:26,880
Speaker 4: this up.

1523
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 5: Well, we're getting close on that time. So many things

1524
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 5: I'd like to say. I would say that when you

1525
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:34,600
Speaker 5: when you're talking to me most time, you don't have

1526
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 5: to get into a question of can I pray for

1527
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 5: you or i'm a Christian?

1528
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 4: Or just love on them. It's it's real simple. Just

1529
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 4: love on them.

1530
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:48,880
Speaker 5: Don't be spiritual, just love on them, and when they

1531
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 5: realize that you're sincere, they open up. It happens quickly.

1532
01:24:56,080 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 5: It it's just absolutely amazing. Secondly, stop just trying to

1533
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 5: be good people. Most evangelicals today believe that being a

1534
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:11,680
Speaker 5: good person is being a witness. Most actually think they

1535
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 5: can get into heaven. Now a lot of people by

1536
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 5: being a good person. Being good person doesn't getting anybody

1537
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 5: into heaven. That's right, it's worthless. It's worthless. I had

1538
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:25,280
Speaker 5: a friend walk out of arrested with me a while

1539
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:28,120
Speaker 5: back and he said, you see the guy in there

1540
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 5: cleaning the rest of you. I said, yeah, I gave

1541
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 5: him twenty bucks and to do it a good job.

1542
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:37,200
Speaker 5: I said, well, that's pretty wonderful. What did that accomplish?

1543
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:40,960
Speaker 5: He's why I made him feel real good? I said, yeah,

1544
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:42,639
Speaker 5: I think it made you feel real good too.

1545
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 4: But what to do for a trinity?

1546
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 5: I mean, if you had gone up to him and said,

1547
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:51,639
Speaker 5: you know, God just prompted me to give you twenty dollars,

1548
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 5: so he just wants you to know that He loves you.

1549
01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 4: Same ont effort.

1550
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,679
Speaker 5: We need to reprogram our minds so that we're fixing

01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 5: into what's going on. Secondly, you have all these feels,

Speaker 5: I said, you don't need me. Do you realize what

1607
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 5: God just did for you. I'm from California, I feed

1610
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 5: oh my goodness, you're right. We developed a friendship and

1611
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 5: we helped him through his anger. Now he shared his faith.

1612
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 4: I talked. I talked to Dan today.

1613
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 5: He was in Otterville, Missouri, and he explained the cornfields

1614
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 5: and everything he was seeing. I said, what was your

1615
01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:31,640
Speaker 5: last faith sharing experience? He said, we all at the

1616
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:33,760
Speaker 5: end of the day, I was wearing my All I

1617
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:36,960
Speaker 5: need from all on in the morning is my coffee.

1618
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:39,759
Speaker 4: And Jesus, that's that hobby lobbing.

1619
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:43,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, And so you know, and he's off Sharon's faith right.

1620
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:46,880
Speaker 5: He was so bogged down in anger, and we helped

1621
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 5: him through that anger. God, if we had not lost

1622
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:51,800
Speaker 5: our daughter I remember and worked through the anger in

1623
01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:54,760
Speaker 5: our lives, we could not have helped Dan working through

1624
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:55,679
Speaker 5: the anger in his life.

1625
01:29:56,120 --> 01:30:00,799
Speaker 4: Wow. So this is a full time deal, folks.

1626
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:03,040
Speaker 5: It can change It can change your life, It really can.

1627
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:05,400
Speaker 5: We talked a little bit about how we could challenge

1628
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:08,280
Speaker 5: our folks and do this on a more.

1629
01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:11,760
Speaker 4: Resolute I don't know how we do that.

1630
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 3: We would we can just like real quick start even now.

1631
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 3: But I can preface it this way. So you guys,

1632
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:25,360
Speaker 3: for over a year, Barry had been saying, Jack, you

1633
01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:29,000
Speaker 3: need to make your your Sunday morning service available more quickly.

1634
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 3: Because I have I have a network of people that

1635
01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 3: I send it out to and and it just wasn't

1636
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 3: working right or whatever the case might. I don't understand

1637
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:42,479
Speaker 3: that stuff, but we finally just did what he was saying.

1638
01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:46,200
Speaker 5: And I don't know how long this has been a

1639
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:47,599
Speaker 5: couple of months, yeah, a couple months.

1640
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:47,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1641
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:51,160
Speaker 3: So at the end of my notes, if anybody gets

1642
01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 3: my notes online, you can get them. You can get

1643
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:55,720
Speaker 3: the notes before you come to church on Sunday, and

1644
01:30:55,760 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 3: you can follow along with me, which is impossible to do.

1645
01:31:01,240 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 3: But at the end, if you notice, it says BMR. Anybody, anybody,

1646
01:31:06,479 --> 01:31:11,520
Speaker 3: if you've seen at the last page it says BMR.

1647
01:31:12,720 --> 01:31:15,000
Speaker 3: And that's to remind me to say to all of

1648
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 3: you that if this sermon today speaking to you, it's

1649
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:25,400
Speaker 3: going to be loaded up. Quickly grab that link and

1650
01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 3: send it out to ten or twenty people or your

1651
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 3: email blast and get it out. I'll preach the message,

1652
01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 3: but you and I will work together to get it

1653
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 3: out to more and more people. That was one hundred

1654
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:42,839
Speaker 3: percent Barry's idea. That's why it's BMR is Barry McGuire's request.

1655
01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:50,280
Speaker 3: That's what BMR means on my notes. And I think

1656
01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:51,240
Speaker 3: the first week.

1657
01:31:52,680 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 4: We did that, there was we went from hundreds several

1658
01:31:56,360 --> 01:31:59,680
Speaker 4: hundred thousand views to over a million views. So you

1659
01:31:59,800 --> 01:32:00,559
Speaker 4: did your job.

1660
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 3: In that same genre, Barry wants to challenge the church

1661
01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:09,920
Speaker 3: and I think this is is a great word and

1662
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 3: you want to tell them, go ahead.

1663
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:14,720
Speaker 4: You want me too? I will? Yeah.

1664
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:18,799
Speaker 5: Well, can you imagine if we all start moving, everybody

1665
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:21,280
Speaker 5: every day closer to Jesus? Can you imagine what could happen?

1666
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:22,080
Speaker 5: Would that be fun?

1667
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:23,240
Speaker 3: So?

1668
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 5: I mean, we have the greatest teacher in the world.

1669
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 5: When he's not here, we have that's sermon on Sunday, Joe.

1670
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:32,559
Speaker 5: We're trained, well, we have the word, but we need

1671
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:35,160
Speaker 5: to go out. We need to share it and do

1672
01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:38,960
Speaker 5: it with fun and energy and loving on field. When

1673
01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 5: once you start doing it, it just becomes so easy.

1674
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:42,360
Speaker 4: It is like breathing.

1675
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 5: Literally, we pray without season because as as we're walking,

1676
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 5: we're seeing. Sure we talked to that first, and that

1677
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 5: we're not crazy. We have a business, you know, we

1678
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:53,200
Speaker 5: have cars.

1679
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:54,479
Speaker 4: We have boats. Were like fun.

1680
01:32:55,439 --> 01:32:58,879
Speaker 5: It's not that you're odd, it's just that that's all temporal.

1681
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:00,599
Speaker 4: That's all going to burn.

1682
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:02,760
Speaker 5: You realize everything you're doing, to think of what you

1683
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:03,559
Speaker 5: did today?

1684
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:05,040
Speaker 4: What did you do today?

1685
01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:09,360
Speaker 5: That's going to impact how you're gonna live eternity. Do

1686
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:11,240
Speaker 5: you know the only thing that matters one hundred years

1687
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:13,160
Speaker 5: fromn hours how many people be in heaven because of

1688
01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:13,959
Speaker 5: your influence.

1689
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:15,680
Speaker 4: That's right, think of that.

1690
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:19,280
Speaker 5: The only thing will matter when your eternity is how

1691
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:22,679
Speaker 5: many people will be in heaven because of your influence.

1692
01:33:22,800 --> 01:33:25,920
Speaker 5: You have lots of influence, desided to start using that influence.

1693
01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:28,920
Speaker 5: So we're just talking before the service about how we

1694
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:32,479
Speaker 5: could possibly start, you know, getting everybody doing that and

1695
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 5: reporting back and perhaps maybe having a website.

1696
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:37,320
Speaker 4: Or some sort. So we talked about.

1697
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:45,240
Speaker 3: Creating a website location or either a separate website or

1698
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:49,760
Speaker 3: a location on our website where we can have you,

1699
01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:53,960
Speaker 3: we can encourage you with the challenge to share Christ,

1700
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 3: to move someone just one step closer to Jesus, and

1701
01:33:58,720 --> 01:34:04,400
Speaker 3: to be able to post your experience. You can say,

1702
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:07,320
Speaker 3: this is Mike, and this is what happened to me

1703
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:10,880
Speaker 3: today at Costco where I shared the Lord with this

1704
01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:15,920
Speaker 3: man and his response was this, So everybody please pray

1705
01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:19,200
Speaker 3: for John, you know at Costco or something like that,

1706
01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:24,439
Speaker 3: to where you can start sharing what you're doing will.

1707
01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:26,679
Speaker 4: Embolden others to do the same.

1708
01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 3: This is actually an online testimony of what God is

1709
01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:36,320
Speaker 3: actually doing in real time. And I guess it would

1710
01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:42,040
Speaker 3: be something like God's you know, God's story book or

1711
01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:46,040
Speaker 3: story page about what He's doing through your life.

1712
01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:50,720
Speaker 4: Among others. And it can be something where people will adopt.

1713
01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:52,760
Speaker 5: That to pray, they'll they'll pick it up and run

1714
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 5: with the take a step further. Most of you don't

1715
01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:58,880
Speaker 5: take notes, but I'll tell you what. If you take notes,

1716
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:01,360
Speaker 5: you remember the serm and a whole lot better. Yes,

1717
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:04,160
Speaker 5: so take not But also if you take notes, if

1718
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:08,559
Speaker 5: you take notes, you'll be much more prepared to share

1719
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:12,800
Speaker 5: what you heard on Sunday morning that week and to

1720
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:15,560
Speaker 5: see how often God will use what you learn that

1721
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:18,360
Speaker 5: you hear that wonderful message on Sunday morning, you walk

1722
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:19,920
Speaker 5: out next thing, you can't even remember what it was

1723
01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:23,920
Speaker 5: unless you use it. That toy sets in and you'll

1724
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:25,960
Speaker 5: lose it. But when you use it, it becomes part

1725
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:28,160
Speaker 5: of you. And I say, it becomes part of your

1726
01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:30,840
Speaker 5: tool chest, your armor, armory chest, or it has all

1727
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:32,800
Speaker 5: your armor. You just keep having you use it over

1728
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:35,360
Speaker 5: and over. So if you'd start doing that now, resolve

1729
01:35:35,840 --> 01:35:38,320
Speaker 5: starting tonight, if we may be finished with the pair,

1730
01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:42,120
Speaker 5: say every resolve everybody starting night and move everybody every

1731
01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:45,560
Speaker 5: day closer to Jesus. Come to church on Sunday and

1732
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:48,800
Speaker 5: you won't have a website, but if you maybe you

1733
01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 5: could announce on Sunday. We start seeing these coming in.

1734
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:55,000
Speaker 5: Can you imagine thousands? I mean, certainly hundreds. I mean,

1735
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:57,200
Speaker 5: and we're talking about pastors watching us.

1736
01:35:57,160 --> 01:35:58,080
Speaker 4: On air right now.

1737
01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:00,200
Speaker 5: They could do it themselves. It's so easy to do

1738
01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:03,759
Speaker 5: and happy reporting, and all of a sudden you realize, Wow,

1739
01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:06,680
Speaker 5: there are hundreds of people in this church that are

1740
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:09,479
Speaker 5: sharing their faith and making a difference. Looking all that,

1741
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:12,040
Speaker 5: I got on it, and by you might call it

1742
01:36:12,160 --> 01:36:15,120
Speaker 5: fear pressure. Also realize we're doing it. And guess what

1743
01:36:15,240 --> 01:36:17,080
Speaker 5: when you do it, Once you get onto it, you're

1744
01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:18,639
Speaker 5: going to be having the time of your life. I say,

1745
01:36:18,800 --> 01:36:20,240
Speaker 5: if you want to have the time of your life

1746
01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:22,160
Speaker 5: for the rest of your life, just start sharing. The

1747
01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:25,080
Speaker 5: one thing we don't want to do, the only thing

1748
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:27,200
Speaker 5: in Christian we don't want to do, is share of faith.

1749
01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:29,559
Speaker 5: It will do anything to keep from sharing their faith.

1750
01:36:29,880 --> 01:36:32,600
Speaker 5: It's so so terrified and it's the one thing that

1751
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:37,840
Speaker 5: it's the great commission. Everything over and over over, he says,

1752
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:39,519
Speaker 5: over and over again. That's what you're called to do.

1753
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:43,240
Speaker 5: And when we do it, guess what secondarily wins the loss?

1754
01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:45,200
Speaker 5: But what it does for you it gives you joy.

1755
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:47,840
Speaker 5: You know, when you bear fruit, I'll give you joy

1756
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:52,200
Speaker 5: by joy being with you Romans John fifteen to eleven.

1757
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:55,200
Speaker 5: I'll answer your prayers, I'll direct your steps, all that

1758
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:58,519
Speaker 5: all that comes when you do this one thing, the

1759
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:00,360
Speaker 5: one thing that you don't want to do, and that's

1760
01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:02,840
Speaker 5: starts sharing your faith, and you can start doing it now.

1761
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:05,280
Speaker 5: I'd just say we could all resolve to start moving

1762
01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 5: everybody everything. Coach who knows where this might go.

1763
01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 3: I mean, you know I would say this. It's not

1764
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:14,320
Speaker 3: that you don't want to do it. I do believe

1765
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:17,479
Speaker 3: what I read this morning in my morning devotional time

1766
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:24,760
Speaker 3: in the first chapter of the book, I talked back

1767
01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:31,040
Speaker 3: to the Devil Strange title by aw Toezer. He talks

1768
01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:34,760
Speaker 3: about in that first chapter the biggest problem with the

1769
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:38,080
Speaker 3: church today is that he said Satan has intimidated the

1770
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:39,799
Speaker 3: believer into silence.

1771
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:42,360
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you think about that.

1772
01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:46,320
Speaker 3: I read that randomly this morning, not knowing how we

1773
01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:50,519
Speaker 3: would do this tonight. No connection, It's not that you

1774
01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 3: don't want to tell people about Jesus. You do, but

1775
01:37:55,600 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 3: that voice of that, that wicked one is so intimidating. Oh,

1776
01:38:01,560 --> 01:38:04,559
Speaker 3: you'll probably blow it, you might make it worse.

1777
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:09,639
Speaker 5: You know, get this, don't don't listen to him. He's

1778
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:15,360
Speaker 5: Satan's paralyzes. We're static. We're absolutely paralyzed. Worse than that,

1779
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:19,320
Speaker 5: he sterilized us. Satan has sterilized us, so we can't

1780
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:23,800
Speaker 5: reproduce ourselves. He's happy for us to just say that

1781
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:25,600
Speaker 5: a small group and just stay there. And that's what

1782
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:27,679
Speaker 5: he's done. We're down to one percent, only one percent

1783
01:38:27,680 --> 01:38:30,840
Speaker 5: of sharing our faith. He has sterilized a church to

1784
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:34,360
Speaker 5: doing nothing. He has us exactly where he watches yeah

1785
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:36,800
Speaker 5: to be, and that's we could start a move to

1786
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 5: start moving in.

1787
01:38:37,680 --> 01:38:38,680
Speaker 4: That's unacceptable.

1788
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:41,599
Speaker 3: So we're we're gonna we're just going to agree together

1789
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:46,200
Speaker 3: as a church now to take the Gospel to the world.

1790
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:51,040
Speaker 3: And don't don't think that the person next to you

1791
01:38:51,160 --> 01:38:53,360
Speaker 3: is going to do it, or that's for Jack and

1792
01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:55,679
Speaker 3: Berry to do for somebody else.

1793
01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:59,559
Speaker 4: We it's in one of his chapters, it's a team effort.

1794
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:01,920
Speaker 4: It takes a team to a team sport. It's a

1795
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:05,320
Speaker 4: team sport. And I like that. So let's pray together.

1796
01:39:05,360 --> 01:39:13,680
Speaker 4: Can we all stand? Let's pray. Father. We're asking you

1797
01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:14,920
Speaker 4: Lord tonight.

1798
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:24,679
Speaker 3: That the truth that Barry has shared about announcing our King,

1799
01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:30,320
Speaker 3: our Lord and Savior, Jesus, the one who loves us

1800
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:33,320
Speaker 3: the most, the one who will never leave us are forsakest,

1801
01:39:34,040 --> 01:39:38,880
Speaker 3: the one who says, come to me, I will never

1802
01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:40,920
Speaker 3: turn you away, the.

1803
01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 4: One who says, repent and believe, and you shall be saved. Lord.

1804
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:49,240
Speaker 4: I pray tonight that if there's any man, woman, boy

1805
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:49,959
Speaker 4: or girl.

1806
01:39:51,720 --> 01:39:54,760
Speaker 3: With us right now we're watching right now, that they

1807
01:39:54,800 --> 01:39:59,000
Speaker 3: would say, Jesus, I believe that you died for my sins,

1808
01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:01,680
Speaker 3: and I accept you as my Lord and Savior, and

1809
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:03,840
Speaker 3: I ask you to wash away my sins and to

1810
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:07,080
Speaker 3: put your holy spirit in my life and to make

1811
01:40:07,120 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 3: me a brand new person. I want to start today tonight,

1812
01:40:11,479 --> 01:40:13,759
Speaker 3: wherever you are in the world, I want to start

1813
01:40:13,880 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 3: this day brand new with you.

1814
01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:20,479
Speaker 4: The past is the past, it's gone, it's done. What

1815
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 4: it is is what it is.

1816
01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:27,000
Speaker 3: But God, thank you that you are not affected by

1817
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:30,639
Speaker 3: the past. You're not a God limited to the past.

1818
01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:35,320
Speaker 3: You are the forever God, and we are your forever family.

1819
01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:39,360
Speaker 3: And so Father, we pray right now. And Lord, we

1820
01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:42,559
Speaker 3: by no means do we want to come across as

1821
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:50,840
Speaker 3: as in a wrong way calling these people to share.

1822
01:40:51,840 --> 01:41:00,639
Speaker 3: We come across, Lord with exhortation, yes, to say, God,

1823
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:03,400
Speaker 3: moved by the power of your spirit, open up the

1824
01:41:03,520 --> 01:41:07,240
Speaker 3: moment of opportunity starting tonight or tomorrow and every day

1825
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:11,800
Speaker 3: after this, that we will know and that we would

1826
01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:14,639
Speaker 3: present ourselves daily to say, Lord, here, I am.

1827
01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:19,040
Speaker 4: Use me, what are we doing today? Jesus, what do

1828
01:41:19,120 --> 01:41:22,280
Speaker 4: you want to do? Whatever it is you want to do, Lord,

1829
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:23,720
Speaker 4: do it with me.

1830
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:29,120
Speaker 3: Every single one of us can pray that prayer, and

1831
01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:31,080
Speaker 3: so God, I do pray that it would be the

1832
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:32,040
Speaker 3: prayer of our hearts.

1833
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:36,519
Speaker 4: Lord, I personally want to thank you for.

1834
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 3: Saving Barry and Karen Maguire, Lord, the people that you

1835
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 3: have used in their lifetime to encourage them that they're

1836
01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 3: still standing today. I think of their good friend, doctor

1837
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:57,240
Speaker 3: James Dobson, and so many others. Lord, he touches people,

1838
01:41:57,320 --> 01:41:59,760
Speaker 3: They touch people that we would never touch, never get

1839
01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:00,320
Speaker 3: the hands.

1840
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:03,960
Speaker 4: Lord, in their eighties. I can't believe it.

1841
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:11,400
Speaker 3: Keep them going, and Lord, God, keep them healthy, Bless

1842
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:15,880

1844
01:42:22,760 --> 01:42:23,120
Speaker 4: and father.

01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:27,160

Speaker 3: want out of life.

1847
01:42:29,320 --> 01:42:32,160

1848
01:42:32,280 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 4: they know, but they know now. I guess.

1849
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:39,040
Speaker 3: That they put Jesus first in all this, and all

1850
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:42,160
Speaker 3: that you've done has been very, very secondary at best.

1851
01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:44,960
Speaker 4: With the things of this world.

1852
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:54,400
Speaker 3: Spoil them, show them your affection, bless their love, their life,

1853
01:42:56,479 --> 01:42:59,880
Speaker 3: and no weapon formed against them, Lord shall it never

1854
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:04,720
Speaker 3: prosper ever. And so Lord God, we just thank you
