00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:22.640
Music.
00:00:28.641 --> 00:00:32.821
I thank you, Jesus, for shedding your blood and sending help,
00:00:33.421 --> 00:00:36.961
coming yourself, doing what needed to be done, defeating the devil.
00:00:37.201 --> 00:00:41.381
We pray, O God, that your will be done this day in our lives as we listen,
00:00:41.621 --> 00:00:47.261
as we allow the Holy Spirit to examine where we are at in our walk with you,
00:00:47.361 --> 00:00:50.801
Lord Jesus, that you give us counsel and encouragement.
00:00:51.481 --> 00:00:56.961
I pray that you'd give us also the courage to let go of the things that have
00:00:56.961 --> 00:01:01.521
been hindering and holding us back, the little pet sins, the little bad habits,
00:01:01.981 --> 00:01:06.961
the little bouts with unbelief, God, that you'd help us to let them go.
00:01:07.241 --> 00:01:10.781
I thank you, Jesus. You are victorious. I thank you for giving us power over
00:01:10.781 --> 00:01:14.601
all the power of the enemy, that nothing shall by any means hurt us, Lord God.
00:01:14.761 --> 00:01:18.241
You said go forth, heal, preach the gospel, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,
00:01:18.381 --> 00:01:21.921
raise the dead. I thank you, Lord God, that you are a faithful witness.
00:01:21.941 --> 00:01:23.741
I thank you, you are our faithful witness.
00:01:24.021 --> 00:01:27.701
I thank you that no weapon formed against us will prosper, that you cover your
00:01:27.701 --> 00:01:32.461
remnant, your people, your family, those who follow you with the blood of Jesus,
00:01:32.721 --> 00:01:35.921
that the enemy cannot get into our lives, cannot wreck our health,
00:01:36.101 --> 00:01:40.501
cannot destroy our families, cannot steal our wealth or our finances or our
00:01:40.501 --> 00:01:41.941
positions or our destinies, Father.
00:01:42.061 --> 00:01:45.821
We bind all those things that come against us with witchcraft in the name of
00:01:45.821 --> 00:01:48.581
Jesus Christ, and we declare thy will be done, O God. Amen.
00:01:49.308 --> 00:01:52.308
Amen. So it's waking up.
00:01:52.488 --> 00:01:55.308
It's time to wake up. It's time to wake up.
00:01:55.428 --> 00:02:01.308
Some people still, if you're staying at a motel, you know, you tell the desk
00:02:01.308 --> 00:02:03.068
or the computer or whatever.
00:02:03.348 --> 00:02:08.028
You want a wake up call at 630 or whatever it is. And they said, well, Mr.
00:02:08.508 --> 00:02:10.328
Sometimes they used to say, Mr.
00:02:11.008 --> 00:02:13.848
Whatever your name is, this is your wake up call.
00:02:13.968 --> 00:02:19.188
So we're talking about the wake up call today. Well, in Romans chapter 10,
00:02:19.368 --> 00:02:23.168
I think we're going to look at a few scriptures today that kind of lead us and
00:02:23.168 --> 00:02:25.028
help us to understand this more fully.
00:02:25.268 --> 00:02:29.168
In verse 11, I'm going to read this and then you read the Amplified, okay?
00:02:29.508 --> 00:02:31.708
By the way, it's Romans 13.
00:02:32.148 --> 00:02:38.068
Yeah, 13 and 11. Yeah, start with 10. Start with 10. Love does no harm to a neighbor.
00:02:38.548 --> 00:02:42.128
Therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law or the fulfillment of the law.
00:02:42.588 --> 00:02:45.668
Boy, we could talk about that for a long time too. And do this,
00:02:45.948 --> 00:02:50.608
knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep,
00:02:50.628 --> 00:02:54.948
for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
00:02:55.288 --> 00:03:00.008
The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore, let us cast off the works
00:03:00.008 --> 00:03:02.568
of darkness and let us put on the armor of light.
00:03:02.568 --> 00:03:07.008
Let us walk properly as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness,
00:03:07.188 --> 00:03:12.728
not in licentiousness and lewdness, not in strife and envy, but put on the Lord
00:03:12.728 --> 00:03:17.188
Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh to fulfill its lusts.
00:03:17.548 --> 00:03:19.788
What does that say in the Amplified? Wow.
00:03:20.168 --> 00:03:23.568
Yeah, we really like the Amplified version on this.
00:03:23.968 --> 00:03:27.288
Let's start with verse 10. We'll read through verse 10.
00:03:27.694 --> 00:03:33.394
14. Love does no wrong to one's neighbor. It never hurts anybody.
00:03:33.894 --> 00:03:39.274
Therefore, love meets all the requirements and is the fulfillment of the law.
00:03:39.474 --> 00:03:44.314
Besides this, you know what a critical hour this is.
00:03:44.534 --> 00:03:49.414
How it is high time now for you to wake out of your sleep, first believed,
00:03:49.794 --> 00:03:53.094
adhere to, trusted, and relied on Christ the Messiah.
00:03:53.534 --> 00:03:59.994
The night is far gone and the day is almost here, let us then drop or fling
00:03:59.994 --> 00:04:05.094
away the works and deeds of darkness and put on the full armor of light.
00:04:05.374 --> 00:04:11.434
Let us live and conduct ourselves honorably and becomingly as in the open light
00:04:11.434 --> 00:04:16.654
of day, not in reveling, carousing, and drunkenness, not in immorality.
00:04:17.354 --> 00:04:21.534
Debauchery, sensuality, and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy,
00:04:21.754 --> 00:04:25.434
but clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah,
00:04:25.654 --> 00:04:33.514
and make no provision for indulging the flesh, put a stop to thinking about
00:04:33.514 --> 00:04:40.454
the evil cravings of your physical nature to gratify its desires, its lusts.
00:04:40.454 --> 00:04:44.774
Wow, that's really something to so specifically giving us the understanding
00:04:44.774 --> 00:04:49.494
where we're at in these days. We're at this turning point.
00:04:49.634 --> 00:04:54.334
We're at a place where we need to take up this command to knowing the time.
00:04:54.614 --> 00:04:57.994
We really, it's critical to know the time, the time that we're in,
00:04:58.054 --> 00:05:01.074
the time we've been through, the times what's going to happen.
00:05:01.454 --> 00:05:06.534
And it is high time to, like the word says, wake up, take action.
00:05:07.274 --> 00:05:08.714
Pay attention to your life.
00:05:08.834 --> 00:05:13.554
Don't just kind of drift down the river of whatever. It's time for us to make decisions,
00:05:14.020 --> 00:05:16.720
take action because you know your life you're going to have to give an
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.540
account of your specific individual life we're not just groupies
00:05:20.540 --> 00:05:23.900
on this earth we all have an individual destiny
00:05:23.900 --> 00:05:26.740
in life and so when we know what time it is we know we're
00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:29.940
nearer than when we first believed we know that the night is far spent we know
00:05:29.940 --> 00:05:33.020
that we've got to get going and the hidden works of darkness that we've been
00:05:33.020 --> 00:05:39.100
playing around with let us you know not walk in the in the you know we think
00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:42.120
well we want to go back to normal we want to go back to something that no we
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.100
can't go back we have to go forward,
00:05:44.260 --> 00:05:48.540
and we want to go forward in the counsel and the power and the anointing and
00:05:48.540 --> 00:05:53.320
the authority of what God has done and is doing right now in and through this nation.
00:05:53.500 --> 00:06:00.200
I mean, there's been an amazing turnaround, and we want to take advantage of what God is doing.
00:06:00.380 --> 00:06:06.640
And let there be an amazing turnaround, not only politically and toward righteousness,
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:10.360
but But toward righteousness, it has to happen in our hearts.
00:06:10.840 --> 00:06:17.040
It takes more than conservative political action and talk. It takes a decision.
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:21.140
It takes a transformation by the renewing of our minds.
00:06:21.320 --> 00:06:24.800
Let me just read from Romans chapter 12. Let me read it in the first.
00:06:24.940 --> 00:06:27.440
I'll read it and then you read it. Read it first in the New King James and then
00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:28.560
I'll read it in the Apophon.
00:06:28.760 --> 00:06:31.980
Yeah, Roman, this is what we're talking about, that transformation you're talking about.
00:06:32.200 --> 00:06:36.180
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your
00:06:36.180 --> 00:06:42.880
bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
00:06:43.100 --> 00:06:47.960
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of
00:06:47.960 --> 00:06:51.900
your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
00:06:52.504 --> 00:06:58.204
Well, then the Amplified says, Romans 12, 1 and 2, I appeal to you, therefore, brethren,
00:06:58.604 --> 00:07:05.284
and beg of you in view of all the mercies of God to make a decisive dedication
00:07:05.284 --> 00:07:11.404
of your bodies, presenting all your members and faculties as a living sacrifice,
00:07:11.844 --> 00:07:17.284
holy, devoted, consecrated, and well-pleasing to God, which is your reasonable,
00:07:17.724 --> 00:07:20.844
rational, intelligent service and spiritual worship.
00:07:21.664 --> 00:07:30.924
Do not be conformed to this world, this age. Do not be fashioned after and adapted to its external,
00:07:31.404 --> 00:07:34.784
superficial customs, but be transformed,
00:07:35.204 --> 00:07:38.584
changed by the entire renewal of your mind,
00:07:38.744 --> 00:07:44.364
by its new ideals and its new attitude that you may prove for yourselves what
00:07:44.364 --> 00:07:48.944
is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is
00:07:48.944 --> 00:07:52.784
good and acceptable and perfect in his sight for you.
00:07:53.184 --> 00:07:56.224
So basically, this is the deal.
00:07:57.684 --> 00:08:03.044
The time comes where you have to just make up your mind that you're going to
00:08:03.044 --> 00:08:05.584
just give everything over to the Lord.
00:08:05.744 --> 00:08:10.704
You're going to get rid of the junk, turn away from all the junk and say, Lord, this is it.
00:08:10.904 --> 00:08:14.164
I'm in here all the way. I'm in here full bore.
00:08:14.704 --> 00:08:19.704
I'm totally yours. is I'm devoting my entire being to you.
00:08:20.384 --> 00:08:25.704
This is your reasonable service. This is your worship.
00:08:25.964 --> 00:08:28.764
Your worship is not just singing on Sunday.
00:08:29.844 --> 00:08:32.604
You are singing in your car to your favorite person.
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:39.259
Group or whatever. It's offering yourself fully to the Lord.
00:08:39.439 --> 00:08:40.919
That's your spiritual worship.
00:08:41.319 --> 00:08:48.919
Worship is everything you are and everything you do as unto the Lord, holy as unto the Lord.
00:08:49.079 --> 00:08:54.139
And so the thing is, get away from, if your heart is divided,
00:08:55.119 --> 00:08:59.779
your affections are turning toward the things of this world and to God.
00:08:59.779 --> 00:09:06.839
If you're kind of halfway, you're kind of like, someone used to call them batty Christians.
00:09:06.979 --> 00:09:10.319
A bat isn't really a bird or a mouse. It's kind of somewhere in between.
00:09:10.819 --> 00:09:14.299
Some of you are batty. You're just kind of somewhere in between.
00:09:14.619 --> 00:09:19.939
And now's the time to get in all the way with both feet, with your whole heart.
00:09:20.059 --> 00:09:22.239
And I believe we do have a desire.
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:27.119
God has put a desire in our hearts, made us in his image, and put that in our
00:09:27.119 --> 00:09:29.699
spirit to love him, to love the truth, to want the truth.
00:09:29.999 --> 00:09:34.939
And yet we find that battle that goes on between our spirit and our soul because
00:09:34.939 --> 00:09:39.499
your spirit is created by God to know God, receive his communications.
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.339
Understand his word, his spirit, bearing witness with our spirit.
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:49.039
But the old man, the carnal man, the one who's been grown up in this world,
00:09:49.239 --> 00:09:53.699
a snake pit that's been programmed by the things of the world, has created a division.
00:09:53.699 --> 00:09:58.039
So we're pulled between serving God with all of our heart, soul,
00:09:58.119 --> 00:10:02.459
mind, and strength, and like Lot, Lot's wife, looking back.
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:06.819
We keep, well, maybe I can save this for myself, or maybe I can still do this,
00:10:06.899 --> 00:10:11.599
or maybe I can still, whatever that might be, or maybe I can still not have
00:10:11.599 --> 00:10:16.839
to give up all my favorite junk food, or maybe I can just watch this one little thing.
00:10:17.379 --> 00:10:21.279
It's really, if you're not gonna get 100% in for God, you're still gonna have
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:22.979
open doors for the enemy.
00:10:23.119 --> 00:10:27.319
And this is where the problem is. People make resolutions all the time and sometimes,
00:10:27.459 --> 00:10:32.299
I think even now though, people are making less resolutions because it's so hard to just.
00:10:32.862 --> 00:10:37.262
Turn over, let go, die, surrender, whatever you want to call it, be transformed.
00:10:37.542 --> 00:10:41.542
But the transformation isn't something you do. And a lot of times we don't even
00:10:41.542 --> 00:10:47.582
understand that Satan himself is using your desire to follow God against you.
00:10:47.642 --> 00:10:52.202
It's like the fisherman who uses the bait to catch the fish. So how does that work?
00:10:52.342 --> 00:10:58.482
Well, we're desiring to follow God, and we have all those old ideas of what that looks like.
00:10:58.602 --> 00:11:02.922
Let's do more of this, do more of that, do less of this. I should, I shouldn't.
00:11:03.102 --> 00:11:06.302
And we wear ourselves out with anxiety feeling, did I do it right?
00:11:06.422 --> 00:11:08.482
Did I do enough? Should I do more? Is God mad at me?
00:11:08.622 --> 00:11:12.262
We still don't have that peace in our minds, our hearts, our souls,
00:11:12.282 --> 00:11:17.002
because we're still divided in our soul has been set up in opposition to our spirit.
00:11:17.182 --> 00:11:20.982
So the way we actually get transformed is a couple of things.
00:11:21.082 --> 00:11:24.322
We need to understand, number one, that not everything that you think and not
00:11:24.322 --> 00:11:29.202
everything you feel and not everything you see yourself doing is actually you.
00:11:29.322 --> 00:11:33.922
Yes, you are doing it, but it is not motivated by the God in you,
00:11:34.082 --> 00:11:36.222
by the true you. It's motivated by...
00:11:36.796 --> 00:11:40.516
You know, that spirit that's impersonating you to yourself. And there's also
00:11:40.516 --> 00:11:45.496
a part of that impersonation and treachery, trickery is the lying and religious
00:11:45.496 --> 00:11:49.296
spirits, pious deceivers who want you to think that just doing more and more
00:11:49.296 --> 00:11:51.316
and more good things is what God wants.
00:11:51.636 --> 00:11:55.156
And then you wear yourself or God wants you to, you know, quit everything.
00:11:55.456 --> 00:11:57.916
Yes, there's a lot of things we need to quit. There's addictions,
00:11:58.136 --> 00:12:00.796
there's obsessions, there's perversions, there's all kinds of,
00:12:00.876 --> 00:12:04.516
there's mockery, there's fear, there's lies that we believe about life has to
00:12:04.516 --> 00:12:07.276
be fair, and there's bitterness and anger and injustice,
00:12:07.556 --> 00:12:13.136
all of these things that go on in our life that want to distract us from truly
00:12:13.136 --> 00:12:17.136
focusing on where we're at, who we are, and what God's doing.
00:12:17.416 --> 00:12:22.716
And so all of that thing in our soul is all about me, me trying to quit, me trying to be better.
00:12:22.896 --> 00:12:28.196
And that strong man is trying to actually deceive you and pull you away from
00:12:28.196 --> 00:12:31.456
who you are by pushing a religious agenda on you.
00:12:31.596 --> 00:12:34.696
And so then you tried that before, you got discouraged, you gave it up,
00:12:34.776 --> 00:12:38.616
and now you're kicking yourself because you can't do it and you don't know where to go.
00:12:38.696 --> 00:12:44.316
Well, the thing we need to do is to be, to understand that we are beings,
00:12:44.476 --> 00:12:47.616
not doings, and it's out of being and abiding in Jesus Christ who is divine.
00:12:47.756 --> 00:12:51.336
Out of that relationship comes the fruits of righteousness.
00:12:51.536 --> 00:12:55.696
It comes the transformation that we're looking for as we allow him to speak
00:12:55.696 --> 00:12:57.636
to us. And he does that through his Holy Spirit.
00:12:57.796 --> 00:13:01.016
He does that through his word. He does that through, the Bible says,
00:13:01.016 --> 00:13:03.716
be transformed by the renewing of your mind in Romans 12.1.
00:13:04.036 --> 00:13:07.276
So the mind has to be transformed, but it's transformed through the word,
00:13:07.556 --> 00:13:10.276
through reading the word out loud or reading the word to yourself,
00:13:10.456 --> 00:13:12.756
meditating on the word, thinking on whatsoever things are purely,
00:13:13.116 --> 00:13:14.176
honest, suggestion of good report.
00:13:14.676 --> 00:13:20.156
Filling your life, your meditation, your thoughts with what God is talking about,
00:13:20.216 --> 00:13:25.056
what God says, what God wants, what God is doing, instead of looking all around
00:13:25.056 --> 00:13:27.776
and seeing, trying to figure out what God's doing by looking at what everybody else is doing.
00:13:27.776 --> 00:13:30.596
We have to look at God and see what he's doing through his word,
00:13:30.736 --> 00:13:33.196
through his spirit, and surrender to him.
00:13:33.476 --> 00:13:39.696
Yeah, Satan's activity in this world, his lies that come to us in many different
00:13:39.696 --> 00:13:47.396
forms are seeking to conform us, to mold us into the wickedness of this world.
00:13:47.456 --> 00:13:51.076
And trying to quit the wickedness or on a torture rack, trying to quit the wickedness
00:13:51.076 --> 00:13:54.316
and trying to walk in righteousness and failing.
00:13:54.316 --> 00:14:01.116
So the answer, it says in Romans 12, 2, is to be transformed,
00:14:01.736 --> 00:14:06.496
as you said it well, transformed by the renewing of our minds.
00:14:06.916 --> 00:14:12.536
Jesus said in John 17, sanctify them through your truth. Your word is truth.
00:14:12.696 --> 00:14:19.856
So your word renews us, and we're to be conformed to the image of Jesus.
00:14:20.096 --> 00:14:27.576
Right. And this is the deal. So Romans 8.29, I'm going to read it in two different translations here.
00:14:27.976 --> 00:14:30.896
Romans 8.29 in the New King James.
00:14:31.701 --> 00:14:38.161
It says, For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be conformed to the
00:14:38.161 --> 00:14:42.821
image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
00:14:43.061 --> 00:14:48.561
So Romans 8.29 in the Amplified Bible says, For those whom he foreknew,
00:14:48.761 --> 00:14:51.261
of whom he was aware and loved beforehand,
00:14:51.641 --> 00:14:58.821
he also destined from the beginning for ordaining them to be molded into the
00:14:58.821 --> 00:15:03.581
image of his son and share inwardly his likeness,
00:15:03.761 --> 00:15:07.281
that he might become the firstborn among many brethren.
00:15:07.481 --> 00:15:15.181
So God's goal is to have a whole bunch of people that become like Jesus,
00:15:15.301 --> 00:15:18.521
were molded into the image of his son.
00:15:19.001 --> 00:15:24.781
There's a process of transformation that we become more and more like Jesus,
00:15:24.821 --> 00:15:28.901
and that's God's goal for us. And God's goal is accomplished through God.
00:15:30.161 --> 00:15:37.101
God needs our agreement. We work with God. We say, yes, Lord, thy will be done in me.
00:15:37.481 --> 00:15:42.101
Okay. So we give God our will and then God does the work. It's not like you
00:15:42.101 --> 00:15:44.261
have to do all the work and see if you're doing it right.
00:15:44.641 --> 00:15:47.801
It's you say, yes, Lord, thy will be done.
00:15:48.201 --> 00:15:51.041
Lead me by your spirit. Give me a hunger for your word. May
00:15:51.041 --> 00:15:54.021
I understand give me revelation and god is
00:15:54.021 --> 00:15:57.161
the one who does the changing god is the one who transforms us not
00:15:57.161 --> 00:16:01.821
my good deeds not going to a certain religious group or practicing this or that
00:16:01.821 --> 00:16:06.221
or trying harder to be good or trying harder not to do something it is about
00:16:06.221 --> 00:16:11.961
the the power of the holy spirit but most people do not get this they do not
00:16:11.961 --> 00:16:15.501
get the spirit it's like the holy spirit is like.
00:16:16.715 --> 00:16:21.875
Aerodynamics. And the works of the flesh, our own struggling and striving to
00:16:21.875 --> 00:16:24.695
be good and be holy, is like gravity.
00:16:24.935 --> 00:16:30.455
So the caterpillar crawls around on the ground, trying not to be stepped on. His life is ugly.
00:16:30.855 --> 00:16:34.875
It's limited. He's limited in his own strength as to how far he can go.
00:16:35.135 --> 00:16:38.775
And he's in danger because somebody could step on him at any minute.
00:16:38.815 --> 00:16:41.455
He's so ugly, they're probably going to flick him off somewhere.
00:16:41.635 --> 00:16:44.795
So that's the life of a caterpillar. And that's the life of most believers.
00:16:44.995 --> 00:16:48.575
We're just trying in our own strength to do something we can't do.
00:16:48.675 --> 00:16:53.135
But if you allow the Lord God to do the work by his spirit in you,
00:16:53.235 --> 00:16:54.275
it's called aerodynamics.
00:16:54.455 --> 00:16:59.895
So now you are airborne, you're lifted up in the spirit, carried away in the spirit.
00:17:00.055 --> 00:17:04.655
So the carrying away in the spirit, you can travel far, you can do unlimited things.
00:17:04.815 --> 00:17:07.935
You can go in that airplane, you can go across the world. That caterpillar is
00:17:07.935 --> 00:17:11.735
never going to get across the world unless it's a stowaway on some boat or some
00:17:11.735 --> 00:17:14.315
plane, and it's still not making it.
00:17:14.495 --> 00:17:20.075
So we have to realize there's the Spirit, and there's the natural world,
00:17:20.155 --> 00:17:23.555
the Spirit and the flesh, and God wants to carry you, but you're not going to
00:17:23.555 --> 00:17:25.935
get there doing it in your own strength.
00:17:25.975 --> 00:17:29.815
You're going to get there by acknowledging the Lord God is the lover of your
00:17:29.815 --> 00:17:33.215
soul, created you from the beginning, knows all about you, and going back to
00:17:33.215 --> 00:17:37.975
Him and asking Him to do the work of His Spirit in you, the work he's purposed
00:17:37.975 --> 00:17:38.855
in you from the beginning.
00:17:39.135 --> 00:17:45.755
The word for transform there in Romans 12 too, it means metamorphosis.
00:17:46.035 --> 00:17:51.255
In other words, so what happens to the caterpillar? The caterpillar turns into
00:17:51.255 --> 00:17:56.375
a butterfly and it's through the spirit of God.
00:17:56.555 --> 00:18:01.515
If you allow the spirit of God speak to you and do what the spirit of God is
00:18:01.515 --> 00:18:06.895
leading you to do and saturate yourself with the Word of God.
00:18:06.995 --> 00:18:10.055
You'll soar in the Spirit. And you'll begin to fly in the Spirit.
00:18:10.055 --> 00:18:10.515
And you'll be beautiful.
00:18:10.535 --> 00:18:16.935
Because there's a dimension of the Holy Spirit that the Lord wants us to live in. Fish live in water.
00:18:17.586 --> 00:18:20.786
Christians are called to live in the Spirit.
00:18:20.986 --> 00:18:27.286
And this is not just some nebulous kind of thing that a certain select group
00:18:27.286 --> 00:18:33.006
of people do, some real high-powered ministers in some big ministry. This is for everyone.
00:18:33.246 --> 00:18:37.226
The promise of the Holy Spirit, Peter said on the day of Pentecost,
00:18:37.346 --> 00:18:40.926
is to you and to your children and to your children's children,
00:18:41.126 --> 00:18:45.966
as many as are far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
00:18:45.966 --> 00:18:52.906
So as long as God's calling people to himself, he's equipping them and inspiring
00:18:52.906 --> 00:18:56.886
them and transforming them by my spirit.
00:18:56.926 --> 00:19:01.706
So what we're saying is now we've lived as caterpillars in this world for a
00:19:01.706 --> 00:19:04.386
long time, and it's time to wake up,
00:19:04.686 --> 00:19:08.226
go into that chrysalis, go into that cocoon, allow the Lord to strip you of
00:19:08.226 --> 00:19:12.386
all your vain ambitions and whatnot and laziness or whatever it is,
00:19:12.446 --> 00:19:14.126
or depression or whatever it is, sickness.
00:19:14.666 --> 00:19:20.046
Let the Lord take you out of that place and bring you into the place where he
00:19:20.046 --> 00:19:22.026
talks about in Ephesians chapter five.
00:19:22.286 --> 00:19:26.486
Before we go there, could I read from Hebrews, please?
00:19:27.126 --> 00:19:29.666
Let me just read from Hebrews chapter 12.
00:19:30.806 --> 00:19:35.686
Well, I think they're both good. Go ahead. It's all good. It's the word of God, right?
00:19:36.386 --> 00:19:45.466
So he says, and I'll just go right to the Amplified in Hebrews chapter 12, verses 1 and 2.
00:19:46.186 --> 00:19:51.646
Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
00:19:51.946 --> 00:19:53.126
who are these witnesses?
00:19:53.386 --> 00:19:58.086
Those who have come before us who have borne testimony to the truth,
00:19:58.246 --> 00:20:01.446
our predecessors in the faith that have done well.
00:20:01.626 --> 00:20:07.626
Let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance, unnecessary weight,
00:20:07.666 --> 00:20:09.586
and that sin which so readily.
00:20:10.366 --> 00:20:16.586
Deftly, and cleverly clings to and entangles us and let us run with patient
00:20:16.586 --> 00:20:22.566
endurance and steady and active persistence. I like that.
00:20:23.206 --> 00:20:26.806
Patient endurance and steady and active persistence.
00:20:27.126 --> 00:20:31.066
The appointed course, that's how we're running, of the race that is set before
00:20:31.066 --> 00:20:33.946
us. Looking away from all that will distract.
00:20:34.346 --> 00:20:37.766
Oh boy, talk about distractions around us. All kinds.
00:20:38.446 --> 00:20:41.906
Looking to Jesus, who is the leader and the source of our faith,
00:20:42.146 --> 00:20:47.466
giving the first incentive for our belief and is also its finisher,
00:20:47.766 --> 00:20:50.026
bringing it to maturity and perfection.
00:20:50.246 --> 00:20:54.506
For he, for the joy of obtaining the prize that was set before him,
00:20:54.666 --> 00:21:00.166
endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the
00:21:00.166 --> 00:21:02.586
right hand of the throne of God. So.
00:21:03.201 --> 00:21:10.621
As Jesus endured and persisted and just kept going in his God-appointed course,
00:21:10.801 --> 00:21:13.101
he's saying that's what we're to do also.
00:21:13.261 --> 00:21:15.521
And that's important, our God-appointed course.
00:21:16.061 --> 00:21:19.741
Jesus knew who he was. He knew why he came, and when he was here,
00:21:19.761 --> 00:21:25.481
all the insults and the reproaches and the rejection and the shame and all of
00:21:25.481 --> 00:21:27.301
the maligning and scoffing,
00:21:27.441 --> 00:21:32.081
he was able to endure it because he knew who he was and he knew where he had come from.
00:21:32.081 --> 00:21:36.001
And if you know where you come from, like Jesus, you don't have to take these
00:21:36.001 --> 00:21:39.941
things as personal insults because he knew what was in man.
00:21:40.121 --> 00:21:48.101
And he was, you know, he actually knew the battle between good and evil that was in every man.
00:21:48.241 --> 00:21:52.641
And so he was, but he knew who he was. And I believe as we get more transformed,
00:21:52.661 --> 00:21:55.761
we get more like Jesus. We follow and let his spirit work more through us.
00:21:55.941 --> 00:22:00.301
We become more like him and become confident in knowing who we are.
00:22:00.301 --> 00:22:04.641
And then when we know who we are, where we came from, that God knew of us and
00:22:04.641 --> 00:22:08.501
created us from the foundation of the world, that ought to give us some sense
00:22:08.501 --> 00:22:13.161
of destiny and origin and meaning and purpose in our lives.
00:22:13.281 --> 00:22:18.021
And so Jesus, I'm in Hebrews chapter 12, Jesus himself,
00:22:18.301 --> 00:22:24.421
he said, he laid aside every weight and we too are encouraged to lay aside every
00:22:24.421 --> 00:22:28.841
weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us and run with endurance the race that is set before us.
00:22:28.841 --> 00:22:32.441
I think that word endurance comes up against the word discouragement.
00:22:32.901 --> 00:22:35.701
People get discouraged, defeated, depressed. They don't feel good.
00:22:35.821 --> 00:22:40.141
You know, there's so many things after us now. This is full-on war.
00:22:40.301 --> 00:22:44.081
And Satan isn't just playing out there in the political arena to kill you and destroy you.
00:22:44.141 --> 00:22:47.421
He's taking your energy, your health, your life, your focus,
00:22:47.601 --> 00:22:49.541
your ability to see and discern.
00:22:49.701 --> 00:22:54.161
He wants to, you know, fill us with sickness and infirmity and afflictions and
00:22:54.161 --> 00:22:57.341
parasites and everything else. He wants to just take us out.
00:22:58.161 --> 00:23:01.081
Clog our minds, clog our veins, clog our relationships.
00:23:01.341 --> 00:23:06.801
So we are in a war, and the only way you can really receive what you need to
00:23:06.801 --> 00:23:10.561
be victorious and safe in this war is to get it from the Spirit of God.
00:23:10.821 --> 00:23:13.661
And the Spirit of God is everything we need, and he's the revelation.
00:23:13.661 --> 00:23:17.041
So the revelation of Jesus Christ, whether you need a healing in your physical
00:23:17.041 --> 00:23:22.621
body, you need a healing in a relationship, you need a breakthrough in your own attitude,
00:23:23.101 --> 00:23:27.241
whatever it all is, we know that God is there to give you the truth.
00:23:27.401 --> 00:23:28.521
The truth will bring freedom.
00:23:28.761 --> 00:23:34.681
And so when Jesus, he despised the shame. He didn't get sucked into the shame.
00:23:34.781 --> 00:23:37.861
He didn't give it up. He didn't say, well, forget this.
00:23:38.041 --> 00:23:41.061
He said he endured the cross, despising the shame.
00:23:41.361 --> 00:23:47.501
We also have to lay down our reputation to stand for righteousness,
00:23:47.501 --> 00:23:51.801
the reputation that we try to preserve out there in the world because we have
00:23:51.801 --> 00:23:54.561
a character and that character is to be created in.
00:23:55.828 --> 00:24:02.308
Forthright and truthful and faithful, that the Lord complete the work he has begun in us.
00:24:02.408 --> 00:24:07.048
And so this waking up is a lot more than just a political wake up.
00:24:07.448 --> 00:24:11.948
This is a call to repentance. It's a call to prayer. It's a call to transformation.
00:24:12.328 --> 00:24:16.728
It's a call to a new life. It's a call to a new you, doing things differently.
00:24:16.948 --> 00:24:18.848
And it's time because God is moving.
00:24:19.108 --> 00:24:24.948
He is moving powerfully. I mean, what he did in the last two weeks basically is,
00:24:25.408 --> 00:24:29.648
well, even since the middle of the summer, the things God is doing to interact,
00:24:29.848 --> 00:24:33.828
interject, intervene in the course of human history, in the course of mankind
00:24:33.828 --> 00:24:39.788
is something only God, and we all know it, only God from heaven could do.
00:24:39.788 --> 00:24:44.788
And so it's time for us to pay attention, knowing that God is paying attention
00:24:44.788 --> 00:24:50.828
and that we are, you know, he's watching us. He's waiting, watching.
00:24:51.148 --> 00:24:54.588
He knows what the outcome will be, but here's the deal. You can have an individual
00:24:54.588 --> 00:24:59.348
victorious outcome, whether or not the rest of the world finds Jesus or not.
00:24:59.408 --> 00:25:02.628
We want them to, of course. But, you know, you can live for God.
00:25:03.088 --> 00:25:06.408
God has given you the grace, the strength, whether you're in a communist country,
00:25:06.548 --> 00:25:09.168
whether you're in a concentration camp, whether you're in a wonderful,
00:25:09.348 --> 00:25:14.488
comfortable living space, a safe space, you and I can choose to live for God.
00:25:14.588 --> 00:25:20.228
And that's part of the problem. I think we need to surrender our circumstances,
00:25:20.228 --> 00:25:24.228
our survival to the Lord God to do His will no matter what.
00:25:25.108 --> 00:25:30.828
Ephesians 5, we're going to start with verse 11. Take no part in and have no
00:25:30.828 --> 00:25:35.508
fellowship with the fruitless deeds and enterprises of darkness.
00:25:37.128 --> 00:25:39.848
Do we have this? This is what we've got going on. Partaking with.
00:25:40.188 --> 00:25:43.028
Enterprises of darkness all around us.
00:25:43.208 --> 00:25:47.148
The cunning schemes, you know, being sucked up into them. Take no part in this.
00:25:47.308 --> 00:25:54.528
Don't be deceived by them. But instead, let your lives be so in contrast as
00:25:54.528 --> 00:25:57.748
to expose and reprove and convict them.
00:25:57.928 --> 00:26:05.568
So we are called to live as a stark contrast to this present evil world.
00:26:05.668 --> 00:26:09.208
This present darkness. The world is full of darkness and evil and wickedness
00:26:09.208 --> 00:26:11.588
and lust and perversions of all kinds.
00:26:12.228 --> 00:26:17.828
But we are to be living in the spirit of God, in the grace of God, in the love of God.
00:26:17.988 --> 00:26:20.888
We are the light of the world. We're the salt of the earth.
00:26:21.208 --> 00:26:24.048
You know, God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
00:26:24.208 --> 00:26:27.428
God has not changed what he's expected, what he's talked about,
00:26:27.568 --> 00:26:31.348
what he's showed us through the creation, through Genesis, through Romans 1,
00:26:31.348 --> 00:26:36.188
that he is always the same and he wants us to come back to him.
00:26:36.888 --> 00:26:40.548
And even as you're reading in Ephesians chapter five, the very first verse says,
00:26:41.008 --> 00:26:45.648
therefore be followers of God as dear children and walk in love as Christ also
00:26:45.648 --> 00:26:48.628
has loved us and given himself for us and offering in a sacrifice,
00:26:48.648 --> 00:26:52.588
which goes back to Romans one and two, a sacrifice to God, a sweet smelling savor.
00:26:53.299 --> 00:27:00.979
Yeah, and then he says, take apart and have no fellowship with the fruitful
00:27:00.979 --> 00:27:03.479
works of darkness. Repeating that from verse 11.
00:27:03.859 --> 00:27:08.339
Fruitless, not fruitful, fruitless deeds. Unfruitful, unfruitful.
00:27:08.459 --> 00:27:09.999
Unfruitful works of darkness.
00:27:10.639 --> 00:27:19.079
Verse 12, for it is a shame even to speak or mention the things that such people practice in secret.
00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:22.839
In other words, what's going on, you know, in the most shocking,
00:27:22.979 --> 00:27:25.979
horrible things that God has had to bring to the surface to let us see what
00:27:25.979 --> 00:27:28.459
people are really doing to human beings.
00:27:28.739 --> 00:27:32.299
It's almost like we don't even want to look at those things or talk about those
00:27:32.299 --> 00:27:33.159
things. They're so terrible.
00:27:33.339 --> 00:27:38.159
And God wants to expose the evil secret things of our hearts,
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:40.639
too, and then transform our hearts.
00:27:40.639 --> 00:27:43.319
Because those things are not us, but they're lurking in there,
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:49.239
violating us with lust and perversions and pornographies and accusations and guilt and shame.
00:27:49.379 --> 00:27:52.739
Those are not from God. The Holy Spirit does not lead us into destruction.
00:27:53.179 --> 00:27:58.119
He leads us into truth. And if you realize there's only two kingdoms and Jesus
00:27:58.119 --> 00:27:59.719
said, by their fruits, you shall know them.
00:27:59.819 --> 00:28:03.479
So if what you're doing reduces down to fear, stress, anxiety,
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:06.159
I hate myself. I got to try harder. I'm never going to make it in failure.
00:28:06.479 --> 00:28:08.939
They're not suggestions from the Holy Spirit.
00:28:09.299 --> 00:28:13.379
They're from the enemy who's pumping those suggestions through your own mind
00:28:13.379 --> 00:28:14.639
and heart and understanding.
00:28:14.899 --> 00:28:19.639
So we have to sort things out quickly and say, no, no, this is not from God.
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:23.899
Therefore, I reject this. This is counsel from hell. It sounds like me talking to me.
00:28:24.019 --> 00:28:28.039
I reject it because I want to walk in the fullness of the fruit of the Spirit.
00:28:28.179 --> 00:28:32.479
And it's the light of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that exposes These
00:28:32.479 --> 00:28:33.959
hidden works of darkness, yeah.
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:41.299
He reproves those things, the hidden works of darkness, verse 13 of Ephesians
00:28:41.299 --> 00:28:46.779
5, again, Amplified Bible, it is made visible and clear, and where everything
00:28:46.779 --> 00:28:48.999
is visible and clear, there is light.
00:28:49.179 --> 00:28:55.319
So exposing the works of darkness, exposing them and removing them,
00:28:55.459 --> 00:28:58.519
that's what the Lord is doing in our lives, in our nation.
00:28:58.699 --> 00:29:02.299
Yes, and there's even false light. You know, the angel of light,
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:05.739
Paul warns about him, the angel of light, the demon, the spirit, the Satan.
00:29:05.919 --> 00:29:08.819
He comes as a minister of righteousness as an angel of light.
00:29:08.819 --> 00:29:12.759
So a lot of times the enemy will try to trick us into believing that what we're
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:16.419
following is light and it is not.
00:29:16.659 --> 00:29:19.919
So we allow the Holy Spirit to assess righteousness.
00:29:20.765 --> 00:29:24.465
You know, what's going on? Let him give us wisdom.
00:29:24.485 --> 00:29:27.865
And I believe that's one thing we really need to cry out for in these days of
00:29:27.865 --> 00:29:33.865
waking up, is wisdom that we will not continue to walk in the unfruitful works of darkness,
00:29:34.365 --> 00:29:39.805
but rather expose them, know what they are, and go forward in goodness and the
00:29:39.805 --> 00:29:41.465
love of God, the power of God, the faith of God.
00:29:41.705 --> 00:29:44.965
God has got work for us to do, and you can't do that when you're all bound up,
00:29:45.085 --> 00:29:46.525
compromised, and doubtful.
00:29:46.705 --> 00:29:51.325
The truth exposes that, which is false. And verse 14, therefore,
00:29:51.365 --> 00:29:53.045
he says, here we go again,
00:29:53.585 --> 00:29:59.085
awake, O sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ shall shine,
00:29:59.505 --> 00:30:03.405
make day dawn upon you, and give you light.
00:30:03.985 --> 00:30:07.965
Awake. Awake up. Wake up, O sleeper. We say that to ourselves.
00:30:08.725 --> 00:30:12.845
Awake. Yes. God says that to us. Cast off the slumber, the stupor,
00:30:12.965 --> 00:30:18.705
the stop. And you know, another thing that we're mesmerized by is the stupor of the sorceries.
00:30:18.945 --> 00:30:23.745
We've participated in things that have put us to sleep, whether it's food we
00:30:23.745 --> 00:30:25.665
eat or drugs we do or take.
00:30:26.125 --> 00:30:30.985
The sorceries and the enchantments of the pharmakia and the witchcraft and the
00:30:30.985 --> 00:30:33.345
poison food has actually dulled us.
00:30:33.765 --> 00:30:36.585
So it's hard to wake up. I don't want to wake up because when I wake up,
00:30:36.665 --> 00:30:39.325
I have to do life. And I want to just stay sleeping because life is too hard.
00:30:39.625 --> 00:30:43.225
And so we are given to the anxiety, fear.
00:30:43.305 --> 00:30:48.105
You know, a lot of people are trying to sleep their life away because it's just too painful, too hard.
00:30:48.265 --> 00:30:52.145
But get up and ask God to give you grace and strength to live your life and
00:30:52.145 --> 00:30:56.305
not to give it away to depression or anxiety or stupor.
00:30:56.505 --> 00:30:59.385
God is waking us up out of our stupor.
00:31:00.025 --> 00:31:05.245
So he, and it might be a shock to deal with what's really going on,
00:31:05.325 --> 00:31:07.525
but that's a shock that we need.
00:31:07.605 --> 00:31:11.985
So God, shock us, wake us up. And then he says in verse 15 in the Amplified
00:31:11.985 --> 00:31:16.725
Bible, Ephesians 5 again, look carefully then how you walk.
00:31:17.345 --> 00:31:24.445
Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless,
00:31:24.625 --> 00:31:28.505
but as wise, sensible, intelligent people.
00:31:28.685 --> 00:31:35.445
Then he says, go ahead, making the most of the time, buying up each opportunity
00:31:35.445 --> 00:31:37.645
because the days are evil.
00:31:38.245 --> 00:31:42.425
Therefore, he says, do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish.
00:31:43.065 --> 00:31:48.645
But understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is.
00:31:48.745 --> 00:31:50.205
That word vague is kind of interesting.
00:31:50.345 --> 00:31:53.525
We don't want to be committed. We don't want to commit ourselves to this or
00:31:53.525 --> 00:31:57.205
that because we might be caught and we might find ourselves on the wrong side.
00:31:57.305 --> 00:32:02.205
Well, you don't have to be vague when you're walking with Jesus because Jesus Christ is the light.
00:32:02.465 --> 00:32:07.125
And those who choose him, he says, if you confess me before men,
00:32:07.125 --> 00:32:10.925
I will confess to you before my father but if you deny me before men I will
00:32:10.925 --> 00:32:12.325
deny you before my father and before
00:32:12.325 --> 00:32:17.225
the angels of God so it's like commit yourself this is your life don't.
00:32:17.930 --> 00:32:21.410
Walk on the double line or the middle line because there's no line.
00:32:21.590 --> 00:32:26.070
You get in or get out. So he says, walk circumspectly, that means carefully,
00:32:26.110 --> 00:32:31.390
with observation, paying attention to what's going on in your life spiritually.
00:32:31.390 --> 00:32:35.010
And if you don't know what's going on in your life, it's not that hard to ask.
00:32:35.150 --> 00:32:39.450
Lord, show me what's going on in my life. Lord Jesus, lead me by your spirit.
00:32:39.550 --> 00:32:41.790
Lord, I want to be led by your spirit. Open your mouth.
00:32:42.310 --> 00:32:46.930
Your mouth is a weapon. Use the words of your mouth as a declaration,
00:32:46.930 --> 00:32:52.830
as bullets against the enemy, and declare your position as walking in Jesus.
00:32:52.830 --> 00:32:56.190
That doesn't mean you have to be perfect. It just means, I want you,
00:32:56.330 --> 00:32:58.210
Jesus, to perfect that which concerns me.
00:32:58.470 --> 00:33:02.490
I'm going to let you shape my life, my spiritual life and destiny,
00:33:02.590 --> 00:33:06.550
and not the devil, and not religion, and not pious deceivers, and not guilt and shame.
00:33:06.910 --> 00:33:11.550
Get over that. Stop trying to be good, because you already are good.
00:33:11.790 --> 00:33:14.330
In Jesus, you've been made righteous.
00:33:14.670 --> 00:33:16.390
Your righteousness comes from God.
00:33:16.750 --> 00:33:21.250
God made us good. So stop trying to do good to be good and just be good.
00:33:21.450 --> 00:33:23.710
And out of the being, we'll follow the doing.
00:33:23.970 --> 00:33:28.550
And that's how I see our waking up. It's time for transformation.
00:33:28.550 --> 00:33:30.730
It's not just another time, a new leaf.
00:33:31.370 --> 00:33:36.170
We say, well, pray, don't stop praying, pray, pray, pray. But let's pray out of a new place.
00:33:36.170 --> 00:33:44.710
Let's pray out of a place of devotion, faith, sobriety, and a place of faith
00:33:44.710 --> 00:33:48.730
and knowing that God is going to do and answer and hear our prayers because of his word.
00:33:48.850 --> 00:33:52.930
So again, get back into the word of God, read the word of God,
00:33:53.050 --> 00:33:59.270
and cry out to God for wisdom and understanding of his word and grace and strength to do it.
00:33:59.710 --> 00:34:04.830
Heavenly Father, we just thank you, Lord, that we've been praying and many have
00:34:04.830 --> 00:34:10.390
been praying for a spiritual awakening in America and around the world.
00:34:10.850 --> 00:34:14.550
But right now, Lord, we just pray, and how is this going to happen?
00:34:14.730 --> 00:34:18.150
It's going to happen in you and in me.
00:34:18.350 --> 00:34:22.910
So I just say to you today, wake up, wake up.
00:34:23.030 --> 00:34:26.890
Lord, awaken us by your spirit, by your word.
00:34:27.430 --> 00:34:32.310
Sound the alarm. The alarm clock is going off, time to wake up, get going,
00:34:32.610 --> 00:34:37.470
not to be unwise, but to understand what the will of the Lord is,
00:34:37.650 --> 00:34:44.430
to get in with our whole hearts, to run this race that you've given to us, looking to Jesus.
00:34:44.990 --> 00:34:50.250
The author and finisher of our faith, that we'll run with persistence and accurately
00:34:50.250 --> 00:34:56.110
endure, accurately endure this race.
00:34:56.130 --> 00:34:59.570
It's not just that it's like an endurance test, but we'll just keep going.
00:34:59.770 --> 00:35:04.850
We'll just keep going, that we don't give up. We just yield ourselves to Jesus,
00:35:05.130 --> 00:35:07.370
and we keep going in the direction...
00:35:08.730 --> 00:35:14.790
That he is sending us in, no matter what happens, we're going to go for him. Amen.
00:35:15.110 --> 00:35:20.330
Well, I have a good idea. You know, the giving time of celebrating,
00:35:20.910 --> 00:35:23.930
remembering the birth of Jesus Christ is coming on up.
00:35:24.010 --> 00:35:27.070
And, you know, a lot of people like to give gifts at that time of the year,
00:35:27.290 --> 00:35:31.370
which is great because Jesus got gifts, you know, it's all good.
00:35:31.610 --> 00:35:37.390
But we have a product on our website, on liferecovery.com, at our store.
00:35:37.670 --> 00:35:42.570
It's called God on Trial. And it's an audio drama.
00:35:42.790 --> 00:35:49.070
It's a dramatization of the war, the story of the war between God and Satan for the souls of men.
00:35:49.410 --> 00:35:53.430
And there are actors, there's dialogue, there's interaction.
00:35:53.810 --> 00:35:58.350
It's a wonderful, it's almost like Adventures in Odyssey or something like that,
00:35:58.510 --> 00:36:01.430
where you can, you know, get it, your children will love it.
00:36:01.430 --> 00:36:04.930
It's fun and it's on many different levels it's
00:36:04.930 --> 00:36:08.790
educational it's inspirational it's evangelical i
00:36:08.790 --> 00:36:11.770
mean it gives a message to people who are skeptical because you
00:36:11.770 --> 00:36:15.810
know the enemy is putting god on trial in our minds every day to get us to judge
00:36:15.810 --> 00:36:22.410
him as unfair and distant and uncaring and so understanding from that point
00:36:22.410 --> 00:36:26.250
of view how satan is trying to undermine our relationship with god so it's called
00:36:26.250 --> 00:36:29.970
god on trial and these are audio dramas you can download them.
00:36:30.130 --> 00:36:33.630
There's 28 episodes. I think each episode is maybe less than five bucks.
00:36:34.490 --> 00:36:36.370
And they're 30 minutes long.
00:36:36.510 --> 00:36:40.910
So they're just wonderful for driving in the car, listening to you with your children.
00:36:41.170 --> 00:36:44.830
Great for opening a little Bible study discussion with your children,
00:36:45.090 --> 00:36:49.670
or even at an adult Bible study, or with your friends, because there's so much
00:36:49.670 --> 00:36:52.350
to it, and we're bringing in characters from the Old Testament,
00:36:52.870 --> 00:36:55.010
New Testament, the Holy Spirit.
00:36:55.230 --> 00:37:02.050
So again, God on Trial, check it out as a possible gift, giving life-giving
00:37:02.050 --> 00:37:06.730
gift, a fun gift for you and your family. Thank you. Have a great day.
00:37:08.930 --> 00:37:11.010
I have an emergency. What is your location?
00:37:12.240 --> 00:37:29.840
Music.
00:37:15.350 --> 00:37:16.950
3, 2, 1...
00:37:31.830 --> 00:37:35.390
Rescue Radio. Cause there's a war for your soul.
