1 00:00:14,099 --> 00:00:17,359 Welcome to the Lansdale Life Church podcast. 2 00:00:18,379 --> 00:00:24,100 If you're seeking a closer relationship with Jesus Christ, this podcast is for you. 3 00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:27,019 Thank you for joining us today. 4 00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:41,560 So I brought in my car, which I forgot, a jar of mustard seeds. 5 00:00:42,820 --> 00:00:49,039 I was going to hold one up and pass it around to let you see how small the mustard seed is. 6 00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:51,899 It takes three to four months to grow to fruition, 7 00:00:53,140 --> 00:00:57,960 and it grows six feet high, 914 times the size of the seed. 8 00:00:59,539 --> 00:01:04,099 For width, 20 feet wide, 3,000 times the width of the seed. 9 00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:11,680 In volume, 12.7 billion times the size of the seed. 10 00:01:14,340 --> 00:01:17,019 To what does Jesus compare the mustard seed? 11 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,459 Mark 4, 30 to 32. 12 00:01:21,219 --> 00:01:24,420 Again, he said, what shall we say the kingdom of God is like? 13 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,500 Or what parable shall we use to describe it? 14 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,859 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 15 00:01:31,299 --> 00:01:35,120 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, 16 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,620 with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade. 17 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,939 12.5 billion times the size, and we get to plant as many as we want. 18 00:01:44,939 --> 00:01:50,040 Can you imagine if you planted one every day and told someone about the kingdom of God? 19 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,060 It's so exciting. 20 00:01:54,379 --> 00:01:56,019 It's like we have the cure-all drink. 21 00:01:57,019 --> 00:01:57,900 Just met Arnold. 22 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,519 This is supposed to be really amazing. 23 00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:01,659 Cure you of everything. 24 00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:02,459 It doesn't look good. 25 00:02:03,459 --> 00:02:04,620 But man, it tastes good. 26 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,199 It's like we have a drink, guys, that when you're at the gym or wherever you're at, 27 00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:10,699 you're saying to people, 28 00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:14,139 yo, you just got to drink this. 29 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:15,300 Except it's not a drink. 30 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:15,819 It's a person. 31 00:02:15,979 --> 00:02:16,659 It's Jesus, right? 32 00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:19,900 And we know what it's going to do for you. 33 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,340 We know what it's going to do for them. 34 00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:24,340 Think about this. 35 00:02:24,759 --> 00:02:26,280 When a person puts their faith in Christ, 36 00:02:26,620 --> 00:02:29,199 all their sin, past, present, and future, is wiped out. 37 00:02:30,020 --> 00:02:32,060 Acts 3, 19, repent then and turn to God, 38 00:02:32,379 --> 00:02:35,280 so that your sins may be wiped out. 39 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:36,819 Amazing verse. 40 00:02:38,019 --> 00:02:41,039 He makes us alive in Christ when we're dead spiritually. 41 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:43,780 Ephesians 2, 4, and 5. 42 00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:45,159 But because of his great love for us, 43 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,659 God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive in Christ, 44 00:02:48,460 --> 00:02:50,460 even when we were dead in our transgressions and sins, 45 00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:51,840 for as by grace you've been saved. 46 00:02:51,939 --> 00:02:53,060 You can never earn it, by the way. 47 00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:53,939 It's a gift. 48 00:02:54,780 --> 00:02:56,740 Number three, he makes us a new creation. 49 00:02:57,180 --> 00:02:58,979 2 Corinthians 5, 17, behold, 50 00:02:59,699 --> 00:03:01,419 if anyone is in Christ, he's a new creation. 51 00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:02,340 The old has passed. 52 00:03:03,060 --> 00:03:03,699 The new has come. 53 00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:05,120 New desires, right? 54 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:06,719 Woke up one day. 55 00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:08,699 Why do I want to read the Word of God so much? 56 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,180 Why do I not want to go out with these guys and party? 57 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,099 He becomes our father, instead of our judge. 58 00:03:17,399 --> 00:03:19,780 John 1, 12, yet to all who believed in him, 59 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,879 to all who received him, 60 00:03:20,939 --> 00:03:22,879 he gave the right to become children of God. 61 00:03:24,780 --> 00:03:27,620 Gives us a new spirit, a new heart, a new peace. 62 00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:29,599 Just drink the drink, 63 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,479 but they don't drink it a lot of times, right? 64 00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:33,539 Some say no. 65 00:03:34,819 --> 00:03:35,659 Some say yes. 66 00:03:35,659 --> 00:03:37,219 Some smack it out of your hand. 67 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,039 It's really good. 68 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,800 But that's not surprising, right? 69 00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:46,300 Because think about the Word of God again. 70 00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:48,099 1 Corinthians 1, 18, 71 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,300 for the message of the cross is foolishness 72 00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:51,259 to those who are perishing. 73 00:03:51,939 --> 00:03:53,360 But to those who are being saved, 74 00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:54,639 it's the power of God. 75 00:03:55,099 --> 00:03:56,560 That's what you have in your hands. 76 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,080 The power of God. 77 00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:01,120 Some people are so steeped in their sin 78 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,979 or have spiritual oppression or possession. 79 00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:07,800 That you smell like death. 80 00:04:09,740 --> 00:04:11,460 2 Corinthians 2, 16, 81 00:04:11,580 --> 00:04:13,860 to one we are the aroma that brings death. 82 00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:17,860 To the other, the aroma that brings life. 83 00:04:19,180 --> 00:04:19,540 Wow. 84 00:04:20,379 --> 00:04:21,660 That's crazy, isn't it? 85 00:04:21,980 --> 00:04:24,660 Their spirit knows who you are, right? 86 00:04:25,259 --> 00:04:26,879 And there's a spiritual battle going on. 87 00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:29,860 So we pray, Lord, give this person an open heart 88 00:04:29,860 --> 00:04:31,220 to receive what I'm going to say. 89 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,259 It's not me. 90 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:33,740 I have nothing to offer, 91 00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:35,060 but you can open their heart. 92 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,800 John 7, 37 to 39, 93 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,860 Jesus says, let anyone who is thirsty 94 00:04:40,860 --> 00:04:42,120 come to me and drink. 95 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,160 Whoever believes in me, 96 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,959 as the scripture has said, 97 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,519 rivers of living water 98 00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:47,879 will flow from within him. 99 00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:49,620 John 4, 4. 100 00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:52,480 But whoever drinks the water I give him 101 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,160 will become in them 102 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,540 a spring welling up to eternal life. 103 00:04:57,060 --> 00:04:57,860 You've got it. 104 00:04:58,939 --> 00:05:00,360 Not in your hand, in your heart. 105 00:05:00,459 --> 00:05:01,160 You've got it. 106 00:05:01,259 --> 00:05:02,920 You've got the mustard seed, 107 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:03,980 the kingdom of heaven. 108 00:05:04,540 --> 00:05:06,680 And you don't have to bring him to Christ. 109 00:05:06,879 --> 00:05:08,100 You just got to plan it. 110 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,600 You just got to tell him. 111 00:05:11,660 --> 00:05:15,040 When I was in college, oof, 1984, 112 00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:17,560 I came to know the Lord. 113 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,040 I sat down with the first guy to share. 114 00:05:22,139 --> 00:05:22,899 Bill Ballingau. 115 00:05:23,060 --> 00:05:24,540 He said, nah, it's not for me. 116 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,040 I'm going to try to get through today 117 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:29,720 without being emotional. 118 00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:32,000 I got a text from somebody other day. 119 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:32,839 He became a missionary. 120 00:05:34,220 --> 00:05:35,379 Became a missionary. 121 00:05:36,819 --> 00:05:38,300 Another guy, Steve Parator, 122 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,279 calling the crow. 123 00:05:39,740 --> 00:05:40,600 He had this black hair 124 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,100 and flipped it back like a crow feather. 125 00:05:42,740 --> 00:05:43,439 Made fun of me. 126 00:05:43,819 --> 00:05:45,060 If anybody came to know the Lord 127 00:05:45,060 --> 00:05:45,560 or went to a Bible, 128 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,180 it was Father Foti follower. 129 00:05:47,980 --> 00:05:48,660 I'm not a priest. 130 00:05:49,939 --> 00:05:51,660 He rode me, man, this guy. 131 00:05:52,899 --> 00:05:53,920 Talked to him about a year ago. 132 00:05:54,500 -->

people to Christ. 136 00:06:00,819 --> 00:06:01,279 Okay. 137 00:06:03,660 --> 00:06:04,920 But you already know that 138 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:05,740 because you guys are here. 139 00:06:05,819 -->

don't know the Lord, 143 00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:14,360 somebody brung out, that's God. 144 00:06:15,259 --> 00:06:15,399 Okay. 145 00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:18,860 Only 5% of professing believers 146 00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:20,839 share the faith regularly. 147 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,399 2% have a plan presentation on paper. 148 00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:30,160 And if you're here today, 149 00:06:30,220 --> 00:06:31,759 I know you want to be part of that 5%. 150 00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:33,199 Or God has plans for you 151 00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:35,279 to be part of that 5%, okay? 152

00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,699 In my time in the Word of God this morning. 156 00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:47,079 By the way, 157 00:06:47,819 --> 00:06:48,480 before I forget, 158 00:06:49,379 --> 00:06:50,139 seven years ago, 159 00:06:50,139 --> 00:06:51,120 someone challenged me, 160 00:06:51,180 --> 00:06:51,740 an older gentleman 161 00:06:51,740 --> 00:06:52,819 who just went to heaven. 162 00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:55,480 He might commit to reading through the Bible 163 00:06:56,039 --> 00:06:56,800 every year. 164 00:06:57,399 --> 00:06:58,339 I can send you a link. 165 00:06:59,779 --> 00:07:00,800 Three chapters a day. 166 00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:04,720 It changed my life dramatically. 167 00:07:05,139 --> 00:07:06,439 I've been a believer over 40 years. 168 00:07:06,839 -->

than being a fisher of men. 172 00:07:14,899 --> 00:07:15,579 This morning it says, 173 00:07:16,139 --> 00:07:16,899 I read in Jude, 174 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:19,079 Be merciful to those who doubt. 175 00:07:19,939 --> 00:07:21,839 Snatch others from the fire 176 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,579 and save them. 177 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,019 To others show mercy mixed with fear. 178 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,199 Hating even clothing stained with cruffle. 179 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,699 You guys have the opportunity 180 00:07:30,699 --> 00:07:33,000 to snatch people from the fire. 181 00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:35,019 You see, 182 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,920 I went to my daughter's church in California, 183 00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:39,160 an amazing church. 184 00:07:40,740 --> 00:07:41,360 And it was like, 185 00:07:41,819 --> 00:07:43,000 this was five years ago. 186 00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:45,879 And California is a different animal, guys. 187 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:48,740 My wife and I sat into this session 188 00:07:48,740 --> 00:07:49,540 of question and answers. 189 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,040 And they said, 190 00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:51,720 I said, 191 00:07:51,779 --> 00:07:52,899 listen, I'm the oldest guy here. 192 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:53,920 Everybody here is under 30. 193 00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:54,980 I'm curious. 194 00:07:55,959 --> 00:07:57,180 I don't hear about hell. 195 00:07:57,959 --> 00:07:58,180 And they said, 196 00:07:58,220 --> 00:08:00,800 well, we don't mention hell as hell 197 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,500 because these people are in a living hell right now. 198 00:08:04,540 --> 00:08:06,540 You may not agree with that. 199 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,899 I didn't necessarily agree with that. 200 00:08:08,560 -->

didn't know Jesus then. 398 00:15:47,940 --> 00:15:49,299 He wasn't saved then. 399 00:15:49,419 --> 00:15:50,879 Well, after he's saved, 400 00:15:50,980 --> 00:15:53,480 he says, why do I do the things I don't want to do? 401 00:15:54,019 --> 00:15:55,980 Why do I don't do the things I want to do? 402 00:15:56,100 --> 00:15:57,419 Oh, wretched sinner, am I? 403 00:15:57,419 --> 00:15:58,860 I am the chief of all sinners. 404 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,779 That's what qualifies you to be used by God. 405 00:16:03,379 --> 00:16:05,820 You have to admit and humble yourself 406 00:16:05,820 --> 00:16:08,159 that you are a worthless human being 407 00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:09,700 and God lifts you up. 408 00:16:09,740 --> 00:16:10,700 Why does he do this? 409 00:16:11,139 --> 00:16:12,799 Because he wants to take away your pride. 410 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,759 He wants to elevate his grace 411 00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:16,279 and he wants to give you hope. 412 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,639 He'll forgive any sin. 413 00:16:25,059 --> 00:16:25,940 Check this out. 414 00:16:25,940 --> 00:16:27,299 1 Corinthians 1, 27. 415 00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:29,320 God chose the foolish things of the world 416 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,539 to shame the wise. 417 00:16:31,620 --> 00:16:33,299 God chose the weak things of the world 418 00:16:33,299 --> 00:16:34,580 to shame the strong. 419 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,919 The foolish things of the world. 420 00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:39,539 Looking at you guys, 421 00:16:39,779 --> 00:16:41,019 God's gonna have a great day today. 422 00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:43,440 Some of you guys. 423 00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:46,700 Acts 4, 13. 424 00:16:46,940 --> 00:16:49,399 Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John 425 00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:52,299 and perceiving that they were unschooled ordinary men, 426 00:16:53,299 --> 00:16:54,379 they were astonished 427 00:16:54,379 --> 00:16:55,940 and they took note that those men 428 00:16:56,719 --> 00:16:57,899 had been with Jesus. 429 00:16:59,340 --> 00:17:00,340 Have you been with Jesus? 430 00:17:02,059 --> 00:17:03,840 Let me show you how to be with Jesus. 431 00:17:04,299 --> 00:17:05,140 When you're with Jesus, 432 00:17:05,819 --> 00:17:07,380 he transforms your life. 433 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,920 Make no mistake about it though. 434 00:17:13,059 --> 00:17:14,740 1 John 1, 9 says, 435 00:17:14,980 --> 00:17:17,940 we are to be holy to strive for holiness. 436 00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:19,579 Be holy because I am holy. 437 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:20,880 But 1 John 1, 9 says, 438 00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:23,160 if we confess our sins, 439 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,319 he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins 440 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:27,180 and purify us of all unrighteousness. 441 00:17:27,660 --> 00:17:30,420 Here's the whole summation of the first part. 442 00:17:31,259 --> 00:17:33,539 You have to believe God's grace. 443 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,259 When you pray and confess your sins, 444 00:17:35,940 --> 00:17:37,440 you are perfect. 445 00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:40,400 You are forgiven and the day begins. 446 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,299 When you then go out and talk about Jesus, 447 00:17:44,759 --> 00:17:46,460 you're believing that verse. 448 00:17:47,980 --> 00:17:48,740 You're washed. 449 00:17:49,140 --> 00:17:49,680 You're perfect. 450 00:17:51,319 --> 00:17:53,000 And God, the great physician, 451 00:17:53,140 --> 00:17:54,859 likes to use a clean syringe, right? 452 00:17:56,500 --> 00:17:57,880 But I got news for you. 453 00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,619 We strive to be clean. 454 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,140 Only when you get to heaven will you be clean. 455 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,980 There's people here today that have changed my life 456 00:18:06,740 --> 00:18:09,980 and I'll tell you how imperfect they were 457 00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:11,900 because God uses imperfect people. 458 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,619 So you don't want to believe the lie of Satan. 459 00:18:19,619 --> 00:18:21,420 He's the accuser of the brethren, 460 00:18:21,619 --> 00:18:24,259 not the accuser, the accuser of the believer, 461 00:18:24,460 --> 00:18:25,259 the accuser of the brethren. 462 00:18:25,420 --> 00:18:27,740 He will tell you, look what you did. 463 00:18:29,019 --> 00:18:31,059 I saw what no one else saw. 464 00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:33,319 You viewed that sight. 465 00:18:34,180 --> 00:18:35,180 You did this. 466 00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:36,019 You did that. 467 00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:38,640 But when you understand the power of God's grace 468 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,319 and you claim 1 John 1, 9 469 00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:42,940 and you confess and are purified, he leaves. 470 00:18:43,819 --> 00:18:45,559 It's not true what he says. 471 00:18:45,779 --> 00:18:46,359 Don't believe it. 472 00:18:46,380 --> 00:18:47,599 When you take a step out 473 00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:49,480 and you start to tell people about Jesus, 474 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,099 it shows that you believe the word of God. 475 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,900 Your faith when you take the step 476 00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:55,660 shows you believe the word of God 477 00:18:55,660 --> 00:18:56,640 and he will use you. 478 00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:00,079 Now, most people, in my opinion, 479 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,279 need something else to happen. 480 00:19:01,859 --> 00:19:04,559 Yes, you have to understand God uses imperfect losers 481 00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:05,539 and you qualify. 482 00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:08,440 But most people have to have, in my opinion, 483 00:19:08,579 --> 00:19:09,740 a near fatal car crash, 484 00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:11,099 a terminal disease or diagnosis 485 00:19:11,099 --> 00:19:12,779 or the death of a loved one. 486 00:19:13,279 --> 00:19:14,900 Called a wake up call to show you 487 00:19:14,900 --> 00:19:15,900 the brevity of life, 488 00:19:16,059 --> 00:19:18,140 the temporary nature of life. 489 00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:19,680 By the way, you know how many people 490 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,440 are going to die today around the world? 491 00:19:23,039 --> 00:19:23,579 170,000. 492 00:19:25,099 --> 00:19:26,200 We'll get to that in a minute. 493 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,059 I had an experience in 2010, 494 00:19:32,660 --> 00:19:34,880 August 12th, about 12 noon 495 00:19:35,420 --> 00:19:37,980 in a Shop Right parking lot in Sewell, New Jersey. 496 00:19:39,380 --> 00:19:41,339 I found myself trapped, 497 00:19:41,660 --> 00:19:44,480 locked in a white cargo van. 498 00:19:47,279 --> 00:19:49,559 I'd love to tell you I was abducted by terrorists 499 00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:51,099 who were giving my wife the ransom note, 500 00:19:51,140 --> 00:19:51,900 but the truth is, 501 00:19:52,519 --> 00:19:54,359 I locked myself inside my own van. 502 00:19:55,700 --> 00:19:57,119 See, I had a gumball route 503 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,160 in the shopping center 504 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,559 and I went to get a box of gumballs 505 00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:01,660 and the wind blew the door shut behind me. 506 00:20:01,980 --> 00:20:03,599 There is a child protective cage 507 00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:05,160 between the front cab and the back 508 00:20:05,879 --> 00:20:07,180 and child protective locks. 509 00:20:08,679 --> 00:20:09,480 How embarrassing. 510 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,240 I couldn't call the manager inside 511 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,220 because, hey, I locked myself in my van. 512 00:20:14,220 --> 00:20:15,619 You locked yourself out of your van? 513 00:20:15,779 --> 00:20:16,859 No, in the van. 514 00:20:19,140 --> 00:20:20,660 It was 98 degrees, 515 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,059 about 120 in there. 516 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,119 I was a trap dog. 517 00:20:23,339 --> 00:20:24,160 I didn't have long. 518 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,160 It was bad. 519 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:27,680 I did the next best thing. 520 00:20:27,940 --> 00:20:29,579 I pounded on the window 521 00:20:30,159 --> 00:20:31,680 for someone to let me out. 522 00:20:32,259 --> 00:20:34,059 An older lady ran. 523 00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:36,339 Probably didn't help. 524 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,619 I think I had a white t-shirt on 525 00:20:37,619 --> 00:20:38,500 in a white cargo van, 526 00:20:38,579 --> 00:20:40,319 like a person transporting to a facility. 527 00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:42,779 She thought I was going to eat her liver 528 00:20:42,779 --> 00:20:45,059 with a bottle of Chianti and some fava beans. 529 00:20:45,660 --> 00:20:47,119 That's the 1980 reference to 530 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,019 Silence of the Lambs. 531 00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:48,920 He had a white t-shirt. 532 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:49,720 Okay, it's a young guy. 533 00:20:51,259 --> 00:20:52,900 Fortunately, a more common sense 534 00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:54,200 30-ish year old woman, 535 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,480 let me out of my own van. 536 00:20:58,539 --> 00:21:01,599 As I sat there gasping in that fresh air, 537 00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:03,480 the only thing more profound than that 538 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,759 is I was a loser. 539 00:21:05,740 --> 00:21:08,660 Not because I trapped myself in a van 540 00:21:08,660 --> 00:21:09,619 or had a vending route. 541 00:21:09,740 --> 00:21:11,119 There's actually no stress to that. 542 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,119 I scooped out a lot of quarters. 543 00:21:12,940 --> 00:21:14,279 I settled in life. 544 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,160 I embraced mediocrity. 545 00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:17,880 I ignored my wife who said, 546 00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:19,180 you could do much more than this, 547 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,259 whether it's in my occupation 548 00:21:20,259 --> 00:21:21,519 or telling people about Jesus. 549 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,500 But the question now is, 550 00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:26,039 what van are you locked in right now? 551 00:21:26,579 --> 00:21:28,079 With my own cause, I lock myself. 552 00:21:28,259 --> 00:21:29,460 What decisions have you made 553 00:21:29,460 --> 00:21:31,519 that locked yourself in your van? 554 00:21:33,279 --> 00:21:34,279 Is it pornography? 555 00:21:35,660 --> 00:21:36,059 Drugs? Alcohol? 556 00:21:37,099 --> 00:21:38,099 You have an anger problem? 557 00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:40,799 By the way, 558 00:21:43,379 --> 00:21:45,519 the person who discipled me 559 00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:46,500 after I got saved 560 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,740 was a guy named Tom Miller. 561 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:51,859 Tom, raise your hand real quick. 562 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,940 When I got saved on the campus 563 00:21:55,940 --> 00:21:57,039 at Rider University, 564 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,819 well, I got saved at the movie, 565 00:21:59,220 --> 00:22:01,539 but he shared some things with me 566 00:22:01,539 --> 00:22:03,240 at Rider campus 567 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,119 and he clarified the gospel. 568 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,319 And after I understood, 569 00:22:07,460 --> 00:22:08,079 he said, now, Mike, 570 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,599 I need to come to this campus 571 00:22:09,599 --> 00:22:11,640 every week for the next year 572 00:22:11,640 -->

that meant. 576 00:22:17,460 --> 00:22:18,599 I said, what's that gonna cost me? 577 00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:20,059 He said, nothing. 578 00:22:21,059 --> 00:22:21,880 Three weeks later, 579

00:22:36,819 He said, that's the Holy Spirit. 590 00:22:37,759 --> 00:22:38,640 You see the word of God, 591 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:39,779 John 3 36 says, 592 00:22:39,799 --> 00:22:40,940 he who has his son has life. 593 00:22:41,619 --> 00:22:42,799 He does not have the son does not have life. 594 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,480 Doesn't say he who has a son and never sins. 595 00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:46,160 I said, oh, 596 00:22:47,639 --> 00:22:49,039 God gave his life to me, 597 00:22:49,220 --> 00:22:50,319 but check this out. 598 00:22:51,299 --> 00:22:51,960 Years later, 599

00:23:11,420 Sadly, 54% of Christians 610 00:23:12,179 --> 00:23:13,519 view pornography regularly. 611 00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:17,980 So maybe 22 of you should chat with him 612 00:23:18,659 -->

726 00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:27,660 our 26-year-old son hit a pole 727 00:26:27,660 --> 00:26:29,480 at 89 miles an hour with no helmet. 728 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:31,880 Point Pleasant Pike. 729

00:26:54,940 God help my wife. 736 00:26:55,659 --> 00:26:57,720 It was hard for a guy, but for a woman. 737 00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:00,200 Our hearts are pounding out of our chest. 738 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,920 15 minutes later, she touches my legs 739 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,940 and Mike, it's going to be OK. 740 00:27:05,099 --> 00:27:06,759 I'm like, what do you mean it's going to be OK? 741 00:27:07,380 --> 00:27:09,339 She said, God just told me it's going to be OK. 742 00:27:11,660 --> 00:27:14,420 We thought OK would mean if he's gone, 743 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:15,980 it's still going to be OK. 744 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,259 We had a peace. 745 00:27:17,759 --> 00:27:18,700 We can't describe it. 746 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,720 How does that happen to a woman 747 00:27:21,679 --> 00:27:23,299 who loves her child, 748 00:27:23,539 --> 00:27:24,799 her hearts pound out of her chest? 749 00:27:24,799 --> 00:27:26,039 How does she get total peace? 750 00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:31,319 Later on, when he was hooked up to machines, 751 00:27:31,779 --> 00:27:33,240 three days later, I'm in the living room 752 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,880 reading, don't know what's going on with insurance. 753 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,039 Don't know if he's going to live. 754 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,099 Don't know anything, God. 755 00:27:38,259 --> 00:27:40,640 And I think of Jesus walking on the water in the storm. 756 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,200 I was so stressed I could just picture his face. 757 00:27:43,839 --> 00:27:44,720 It all left me. 758 00:27:45,099 --> 00:27:46,519 I can't describe it to you. 759 00:27:47,299 --> 00:27:48,519 I can't describe it. 760 00:27:48,579 --> 00:27:50,259 All I can tell you is if we didn't go through that, 761 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,559 I would not have had this intimate experience 762 00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:53,380 with Jesus Christ. 763 00:27:53,380 --> 00:27:55,759 When we got to the hospital, 764 00:27:55,759 --> 00:27:57,619 we called ahead and told our daughter, don't go in. 765 00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,859 We didn't want you to get the news he's dead. 766 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:01,900 Our friends beat us there. 767 00:28:02,339 --> 00:28:04,640 We're in a circle on our knees in the waiting room 768 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:05,599 asking for a miracle. 769 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,660 Doctor comes out 45 minutes later. 770 00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:09,779 I don't know how to explain this. 771 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,880 There's no broken bones, no brain damage. 772 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,779 21 days later, he's home. 773 00:28:19,980 --> 00:28:22,240 He was an arrogant young man before that accident. 774 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,660 When he got home, he's like, 775 00:28:24,759 --> 00:28:26,299 can we sit out on the deck and have coffee? 776 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,400 He got baptized a year or two later. 777 00:28:31,180 --> 00:28:33,220 As an adult, when everybody's telling him, 778 00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:33,920 what are you doing? 779 00:28:34,019 --> 00:28:34,799 Why are you doing this? 780 00:28:35,759 --> 00:28:36,619 He got baptized. 781 00:28:37,960 -->

So, what happened next? 785 00:28:57,339 --> 00:28:59,359 I meet this guy at one of these stream events. 786 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:00,940 He comes up to me and says, 787 00:29:01,140 --> 00:29:02,859

00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,559 I'm 10 minutes away. 807 00:29:32,039 --> 00:29:33,000 He comes to my house. 808 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,559 This guy's a, I love this guy. 809 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,299 He's a former cop and a medic. 810 00:29:36,700 --> 00:29:38,700 He runs a medic, you know, the trucks. 811 00:29:39,819 --> 00:29:41,420 He gets and sits on my porch. 812 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:42,119 Now, I'm praying. 813 00:29:42,740 --> 00:29:44,960 I'm praying that God would give me an opportunity. 814 00:29:45,579 --> 00:29:48,099 Because I knew this Jabez prayer thing is real, right? 815 00:29:48,700 --> 00:29:50,420 And he says to me, he sits down. 816 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:51,299 All right, where are you? 817 00:29:52,019 --> 00:29:53,640 What's this first sentence you said 818 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:54,900 when you sat down on my porch? 819 00:29:56,779 --> 00:29:59,000 I think I'm here for a different reason. 820 00:29:59,380 --> 00:30:00,519 Holy cow. 821 00:30:01,940 --> 00:30:03,359 I'm like containing my excitement. 822 00:30:03,579 --> 00:30:06,019 I said, can I ask you a personal question? 823 00:30:06,259 --> 00:30:07,579 Or see, I'm ready. 824 00:30:08,359 --> 00:30:11,000 God says be ready in season and out of season. 825 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,640 It's all God, but you got to be ready, right? 826 00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:17,720 Success is where preparation meets opportunity, right? 827 00:30:18,059 --> 00:30:20,420 You're prepped, but God gives you the opportunity. 828 00:30:20,420 --> 00:30:23,400 I said, if you died now and stood before God, 829 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,940 and he said, why should I let you into heaven? 830 00:30:25,059 --> 00:30:25,720 What would you say? 831 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,640 He said, well, you know, try to be the best person I can. 832 00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:33,079 Let me tell you the gospel. 833 00:30:35,079 --> 00:30:36,880 I shared with him, you can't earn it. 834 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:37,859 You can never be good enough. 835 00:30:38,019 --> 00:30:39,019 Jesus took all your sins. 836 00:30:39,759 --> 00:30:40,940 He receives Christ. 837 00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:46,000 We eventually went through eight great discipleship lessons. 838 00:30:46,339 --> 00:30:47,660 So I knew he was serious, right? 839 00:30:47,759 --> 00:30:48,319 He agreed to that. 840 00:30:48,319 --> 00:30:50,539 But he gets back in his car when we're done, 841 00:30:50,539 --> 00:30:52,240 and he opens the door. 842 00:30:52,359 --> 00:30:52,940 He steps out. 843 00:30:53,279 --> 00:30:54,400 What did you say, Art? 844 00:30:56,799 --> 00:30:58,579 He wants to do it again. 845 00:30:59,759 --> 00:31:01,019 I said, come back up here. 846 00:31:01,759 --> 00:31:02,940 He received Christ again. 847 00:31:03,220 --> 00:31:05,299 The man had his heart moved. 848 00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:08,059 He wanted to make sure he sealed his eternal destiny. 849 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:10,619 I always joke. 850 00:31:11,099 --> 00:31:12,099 If there was an apocalypse, 851 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,700 I want that guy and a guy I called when I would say Jim Gaffkin. 852 00:31:16,700 --> 00:31:18,240 They have so many guns. 853 00:31:20,339 --> 00:31:21,279 But they're loyal. 854 00:31:21,579 --> 00:31:22,920 You see, they're loyal beyond loyal. 855 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:26,819 So I'm on a high. 856 00:31:27,359 --> 00:31:29,819 I'm like, I just prayed that God would open up a door. 857 00:31:29,900 --> 00:31:31,940 And this guy comes, and I had the privilege 858 00:31:31,940 --> 00:31:33,180 of leading him to Christ. 859 00:31:33,779 --> 00:31:36,240 Lord, I'm in the JBES mode now, you see. 860 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,299 I said, Lord, give me the opportunity 861 00:31:38,299 --> 00:31:40,019 to share the gospel with 10,000 people. 862 00:31:40,119 --> 00:31:41,180 I'll do anything you want. 863 00:31:41,859 --> 00:31:44,279 But see, the JBES prayer, by definition, 864 00:31:44,539 --> 00:31:46,420 is if you could see it happening by your own efforts. 865 00:31:46,420 --> 00:31:48,000 It's not a JBES prayer. 866 00:31:49,540 --> 00:31:51,500 When you tell someone the JBES prayer, 867 00:31:51,619 --> 00:31:52,240 they got to go like this. 868 00:31:52,539 --> 00:31:53,160 Yeah, right. 869 00:31:53,660 --> 00:31:54,220 That's the definition. 870 00:31:55,099 --> 00:31:56,960 So I said, Lord, forget the 10,000. 871 00:31:57,039 --> 00:31:58,119 I spoke at the annual convention. 872 00:31:58,339 --> 00:31:59,079 There's 5,000 there. 873 00:31:59,119 --> 00:32:00,319 If it hits the internet, who knows? 874 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,220 Let's make it 100,000. 875 00:32:02,259 --> 00:32:03,880 I want to speak to 100,000 before I die. 876 00:32:04,980 --> 00:32:06,859 I'm like, hey, there's still a second doubt. 877 00:32:06,940 --> 00:32:07,859 Who knows the internet? 878 00:32:08,339 --> 00:32:10,059 I said, all right, we're going to settle this forever, God. 879 00:32:10,380 --> 00:32:12,039 I want to speak to a million people. 880 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,339 I want to share the gospel with a million people before I die. 881 00:32:14,339 --> 00:32:16,819 But that's a JBES prayer. 882 00:32:17,140 --> 00:32:18,519 There's no way that's going to happen, right? 883 00:32:21,019 --> 00:32:23,279 It happened three weeks later, sixfold. 884 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,420 Because I got invited to a radio station in Philadelphia 885 00:32:27,420 --> 00:32:29,940 to do a two-minute blurb on being the CEO of a company. 886 00:32:30,059 --> 00:32:30,720 I wasn't the CEO. 887 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,740 I just was blessed by some great producers 888 00:32:33,740 --> 00:32:35,279 who brought in thousands of people, right? 889 00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:39,420 There's the Bank of America CEO next to me. 890 00:32:40,039 --> 00:32:41,000 Another CEO. 891 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,660 My heart starts pounding out of my chest. 892 00:32:44,759 --> 00:32:46,599 There's no way I can go to do this. 893 00:32:48,180 --> 00:32:49,599 But I asked the Lord for strength. 894 00:32:49,859 --> 00:32:50,500 He comes to me. 895 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,000 Tell us about your business. 896 00:32:52,180 --> 00:32:54,519 Well, network marketing, energy, and blah, blah, blah. 897 00:32:54,619 --> 00:32:56,960 I got to tell you, honestly, I'm just blessed by the Lord. 898 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,700 Ever since I gave my life to Jesus 899 00:32:58,700 --> 00:33:00,640 and realized he died on the cross and rose from the dead, 900 00:33:00,779 --> 00:33:01,900 he changed my life. 901 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,940 I said to Herb Cohen, the radio show host, 902 00:33:04,180 --> 00:33:05,740 after how many, what's your listening audience? 903 00:33:07,180 --> 00:33:08,859 He said 6.5 million people. 904 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,500 You cannot out-ask God. 905 00:33:13,940 --> 00:33:15,480 The problem is you just don't ask. 906 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,480 Oh, I want Aunt Mary to be saved. 907 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:19,720 What's a JB? 908 00:33:19,859 --> 00:33:23,259 I want every one of my relatives to come to Christ. 909 00:33:24,079 --> 00:33:28,259 You see, you can't out-ask him. 910 00:33:28,839 --> 00:33:30,140 It's up to him when you ask him. 911 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:30,799 Not you. 912 00:33:34,779 --> 00:33:37,240 So a friend from church says to me, 913 00:33:37,839 --> 00:33:39,779 Dave Livingston, his wife, Sandell, great people, 914 00:33:39,779 --> 00:33:42,480 we got this ministry called The Jesus Film. 915 00:33:43,980 --> 00:33:48,039 And we show a lifetime screen on a solar generator 916 00:33:48,039 --> 00:33:49,440 in the language of the people 917 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,299 in the most-revoiced villages of the world. 918 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,359 And they come to Christ. 919 00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:55,680 He says, can you come look at it? 920 00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:57,119 I'll pay for the weekend in Nashville. 921 00:33:57,980 --> 00:33:58,680 I said, yeah. 922 00:34:01,380 --> 00:34:02,539 200 people in a room. 923 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:03,640 Who do you think I'm sitting next? 924 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,639 The author of The Prayer of JBes. 925 00:34:10,819 --> 00:34:11,219 Who's 926 00:34:11,219 --> 00:34:26,599 God for 100? 927 00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:29,780 They plant 100,000 gardens. 928 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:31,199 What do we do the next year? 929 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,360 10-fold, a million garden. 930 00:34:32,460 --> 00:34:33,400 People band together. 931 00:34:33,519 --> 00:34:33,900 Word got out. 932 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,480 We planted a million gardens for Christ to feed people. 933 00:34:36,980 --> 00:34:38,860 I said, you got to be kidding me. 934 00:34:40,980 --> 00:34:42,699 And he was inspired to write this book. 935 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:44,699 So at the end of the time, 936 00:34:44,860 --> 00:34:45,900 beautiful, amazing weekend, 937 00:34:46,039 --> 00:34:48,000 like the stories they told, 938 00:34:48,219 --> 00:34:50,880 God transforming African murders. 939 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:52,099 They murdered a whole village 940 00:34:52,099 --> 00:34:53,800 and they saw Jesus sitting in a corner. 941 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,099 And the guy becomes an evangelist. 942 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:57,199 I'm like, he's like, 943 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,599 what are you going to give to the Jesus Film? 944 00:34:59,159 --> 00:35:00,239 I said, well, I have a number in mind. 945 00:35:00,340 --> 00:35:01,380 He said, can you imagine it happening? 946 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:02,280 I said, yeah. 947 00:35:02,380 --> 00:35:03,320 He said, it ain't a JBes Prayer. 948 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:06,940 He said, did you know, Mike, 949 00:35:06,940 --> 00:35:10,320 it takes $35,000 to translate this 950 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,579 over three years into Ethiopian language 951 00:35:12,579 --> 00:35:14,500 and show it to the entire country or whatever. 952 00:35:15,179 --> 00:35:15,619 I said, wow. 953 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:18,800 So we go home, end of the year. 954 00:35:18,900 --> 00:35:20,059 My wife and I are like, what should we give? 955 00:35:20,340 --> 00:35:22,099 Well, we only have this. 956 00:35:22,159 --> 00:35:22,840 We only have that. 957 00:35:23,420 --> 00:35:24,460 I said, I go in the other room. 958 00:35:24,539 --> 00:35:25,900 I said, Lord, if you want us to give, 959 00:35:26,019 --> 00:35:26,940 what you want us to give, 960 00:35:27,199 --> 00:35:28,559 then just make it happen. 961 00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:35,539 Three days later, knock on the door. 962 00:35:37,259 --> 00:35:38,559 There's an envelope on the ground 963 00:35:38,559 --> 00:35:39,760 with two cross pens in it 964 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,320 and a check for $65,000. 965 00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:45,059 The owner of Stream decided 966 00:35:45,059 --> 00:35:46,340 to give us a Christmas gift. 967 00:35:49,380 --> 00:35:51,000 The entire village of Ethiopia 968 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,079 is seeing this film now. 969 00:35:53,659 --> 00:35:54,739 They say every dollar spent 970 00:35:54,739 --> 00:35:56,139 is a person who gets saved. 971 00:35:56,300 --> 00:35:58,000 $35,000 are probably going to be in heaven. 972 00:36:00,119 --> 00:36:01,460 You can't out-ask God. 973 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,280 Make no mistake about it. 974 00:36:03,420 --> 00:36:05,059 The Barra JBes is not about health and wealth. 975 00:36:05,059 --> 00:36:06,960 It's about expanding your territory for God. 976 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,219 Sometimes He may bless you in other ways. 977 00:36:10,260 --> 00:36:11,619 As that happens, I don't know. 978 00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:12,880 I do know. 979 00:36:15,780 --> 00:36:18,059 But it's not about those big things. 980 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,880 Yes, I ask JBes prayers all the time, 981 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,719 but it's about every day going out. 982 00:36:22,219 --> 00:36:23,880 Lord, what do you have for me now? 983 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,000 See this here? 984 00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:26,780 This is the Gospel of John. 985 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,880 This is the pocket testament. 986 00:36:29,619 --> 00:36:29,980 All right. 987 00:36:30,219 --> 00:36:31,159 I had one with me. 988 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:32,960 I'm a property adjuster. 989 00:36:33,059 --> 00:36:34,400 I look for roofs without shingles. 990 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,980 I see two or three shingles. 991 00:36:36,139 --> 00:36:37,800 I'm like, I'm going to get this lady a new roof, 992 00:36:38,300 --> 00:36:40,820 because I know I can make the insurance company pay. 993 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,380 They can never match it. 994 00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:43,760 It's got to match. 995 00:36:44,039 --> 00:36:45,119 We know this is what we do. 996 00:36:46,500 --> 00:36:47,579 I pray one more. 997 00:36:47,699 --> 00:36:49,579 Lord, show me who you want me to talk to. 998 00:36:50,119 --> 00:36:54,300 I knock on this house, probably 1.2, New Hope, 999 00:36:54,619 --> 00:36:56,139 Cedar Roof, missing shingles. 1000 00:36:56,500 --> 00:36:57,219 It's the cherry. 1001 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,039 That's what I look for. 1002 00:36:58,860 --> 00:37:00,039 I knock on the door. 1003 00:37:00,159 --> 00:37:02,400 The woman says, I said, hi, I'm here to help you. 1004 00:37:02,579 --> 00:37:04,000 I can get you a new roof. 1005 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,159 I can help you. 1006 00:37:05,380 --> 00:37:05,579 Blah, blah. 1007 00:37:05,659 --> 00:37:09,920 She says, my husband died in a car crash three months ago, 1008 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:10,739 left me with four kids. 1009 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,420 I've been praying to someone who would knock on my door 1010 00:37:12,420 --> 00:37:14,420 and help me find the money to fix up the house and sell it. 1011 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,440 We got a $350,000. 1012 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:19,119 Fixed it up, sold it, moved. 1013 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,760 Do you ask God every day to open the door? 1014 00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:26,780 He uses imperfect people. 1015 00:37:29,459 --> 00:37:31,719 Rich, give us a minute on the pocket testament, 1016 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,320 how life's transforming it is. 1017 00:37:34,599 --> 00:37:35,599 Can you tell us? 1018 00:37:35,619 --> 00:37:36,420 I have no sleep. 1019 00:37:37,460 --> 00:37:37,739 It's OK. 1020 00:37:40,519 --> 00:37:41,820 We have them for you. 1021 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:42,800 They're at the table. 1022 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,239 As many as you want. 1023 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:45,480 Go ahead, Rich. 1024 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,320 All right, so 1025 00:38:02,820 --> 00:38:04,860 I've been doing this for 35 years. 1026 00:38:06,340 --> 00:38:07,699 It's really simple. 1027 00:38:08,699 --> 00:38:09,639 Anybody can do it. 1028 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,719 You put a gospel of John in your pocket every day. 1029 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,059 You put it where your keys are, where your phone is. 1030 00:38:15,619 --> 00:38:18,280 You put a gospel of John in your pocket every day. 1031 00:38:19,079 --> 00:38:20,579 And as you're walking out the door, you say, 1032 00:38:20,820 --> 00:38:23,980 Lord, give me an opportunity to share this with someone. 1033 00:38:25,659 --> 00:38:29,500 And if you give me a poke, I'll share it. 1034 00:38:31,340 --> 00:38:33,420 So every day, I do this. 1035 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,760 And without a doubt, every day, I get the poke. 1036 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,039 And I get an opportunity to share Christ. 1037 00:38:40,619 --> 00:38:44,980 So I'm the one of about 20 people that are on the board. 1038 00:38:46,159 --> 00:38:52,679 And that board has their focus now on not a million, 1039 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,579 not 100 million, but a billion gospels 1040 00:38:57,579 --> 00:38:59,619 distributed around the world. 1041 00:39:01,820 --> 00:39:04,559 And the way it's done now, and it's happening, 1042 00:39:04,780 --> 00:39:06,699 like I have to double up your mind. 1043 00:39:07,659 --> 00:39:10,780 But I have my phone if you want to copy my app. 1044 00:39:11,420 --> 00:39:14,900 And this app is winding up in Pakistan, Iran, 1045 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,739 all the Middle East and parts of the world. 1046 00:39:18,739 --> 00:39:21,320 And hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people 1047 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,099 are reading now the gospel of John because of this app. 1048 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:29,039 So this is not a startup ministry. 1049 00:39:29,199 --> 00:39:31,099 This has been around for over 100 years. 1050 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,900 This last 20 years, this gospel had been going 1051 00:39:34,900 --> 00:39:37,300 around the world like crazy. 1052 00:39:38,340 --> 00:39:41,940 And so all I am is I'm a seed sower. 1053 00:39:42,639 --> 00:39:44,280 That's all I think of myself as. 1054 00:39:44,380 --> 00:39:46,400 I'm not some big deal from the seed sower. 1055 00:39:47,260 --> 00:39:49,340 And so like Mike was talking about, the mustard seed, 1056 00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:50,460 it explodes. 1057 00:39:51,339 --> 00:39:56,059 So if you don't know what to do for a ministry point of view, 1058 00:39:56,579 --> 00:39:57,320 this is the trick. 1059 00:39:57,539 --> 00:39:57,860 QR code. 1060 00:39:59,260 --> 00:40:00,239 We have a QR code. 1061 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:02,159 Are we able to put it on the board? 1062 00:40:03,599 --> 00:40:06,360 So if you want to say, like, I don't know what to do, 1063 00:40:06,860 --> 00:40:07,639 this is the ministry. 1064 00:40:07,900 --> 00:40:10,599 The point you got to do is say, hey, here, this is for you. 1065 00:40:11,119 --> 00:40:11,679 And it happened. 1066 00:40:12,079 --> 00:40:14,460 I mean, we see people coming to Christ all around the world. 1067 00:40:14,900 --> 00:40:15,460 Thank you, Rich. 1068 00:40:15,599 --> 00:40:16,960 You can take a picture of this QR code 1069 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,219 and have the digital version on your phone. 1070 00:40:18,219 --> 00:40:22,400 When you talk to someone, it's on the back of the thing, too. 1071 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:24,639 Hey, I want to send you something, John. 1072 00:40:35,979 --> 00:40:36,860 Thank you, Rich. 1073 00:40:37,039 --> 00:40:37,980 I appreciate it. 1074 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:39,480 Guys, so faithful with this. 1075 00:40:39,559 --> 00:40:42,519 By the way, today's theme, God uses imperfect people. 1076 00:40:43,340 --> 00:40:45,119 Rich gave me permission to say he had a struggle 1077 00:40:45,119 --> 00:40:46,420 with alcoholism years ago. 1078 00:40:46,940 --> 00:40:47,960 God pulled him out of it. 1079 00:40:48,579 --> 00:40:52,380 Took his life, and he's on fire for Jesus Christ now. 1080 00:40:52,699 --> 00:40:57,340 Everybody in here has had a messed up life. 1081 00:40:57,940 --> 00:41:01,380 God will put it together, and he'll use you. 1082 00:41:01,860 --> 00:41:02,719 He'll use you. 1083 00:41:03,659 --> 00:41:06,300 So yeah, you can do the QR code there. 1084 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:07,980 Just an idea. 1085 00:41:08,219 --> 00:41:10,619 You guys have a real burning desire for evangelism. 1086 00:41:11,099 --> 00:41:11,900 I just came to me the other day. 1087 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,059 Imagine if you had a sign. 1088 00:41:13,679 --> 00:41:15,559 You put those little metal prongs in, 1089 00:41:15,619 --> 00:41:17,480 those little cheap signs in the ground at an intersection. 1090 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,360 It says, free prayer for 30 days. 1091 00:41:20,940 --> 00:41:21,780 Are you hurting? 1092 00:41:22,639 --> 00:41:23,599 Are you struggling? 1093 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,840 Just text, pray for me, to this number. 1094 00:41:27,539 --> 00:41:28,039 Imagine that. 1095 00:41:28,099 --> 00:41:29,099 You get it on your phone. 1096 00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:30,679 Pray for me. 1097 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,820 You send them a digital version of this, 1098 00:41:33,340 --> 00:41:35,539 and you say, I'll pray for you for 30 days. 1099 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,980 At the end of 30 days, you call them and say, 1100 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,039 I've been praying for you. 1101 00:41:39,980 --> 00:41:40,679 How's everything? 1102 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:41,840 Do you think they're going to get mad? 1103 00:41:42,139 --> 00:41:43,119 I don't think so. 1104 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,039 Is God going to change them? 1105 00:41:45,820 --> 00:41:46,260 Yeah. 1106 00:41:46,820 --> 00:41:48,599 The word of God never returns void. 1107 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,159 Hopefully, you could take that and run with it. 1108 00:41:51,179 --> 00:41:52,219 Maybe I'll work with you. 1109 00:41:57,099 --> 00:41:59,920 So I try to think of different ways to evangelize. 1110 00:42:00,179 --> 00:42:01,420 I had this license plate. 1111 00:42:04,159 --> 00:42:06,880 JZSLVSU, Jesus loves you, right? 1112 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,559 I get some honks now and then. 1113 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:14,679 Granted, I had bought a 2023 Chevy Corvette white. 1114 00:42:15,659 --> 00:42:17,199 I know it sounds materialistic. 1115 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,320 I'll just be an open book with you here. 1116 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:20,119 But you know what? 1117 00:42:20,199 --> 00:42:22,199 The average car I heard the other day was 50,000. 1118 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:23,619 I heard that on the news three days ago. 1119 00:42:24,019 --> 00:42:25,320 This was 69,000. 1120 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:26,059 Don't judge me. 1121 00:42:27,980 --> 00:42:28,440 It wasn't that. 1122 00:42:28,500 --> 00:42:29,980 I don't know how they make a car for that. 1123 00:42:30,619 --> 00:42:31,340 I don't know how. 1124 00:42:31,579 --> 00:42:31,920 This is amazing. 1125 00:42:32,199 --> 00:42:32,500 It's amazing. 1126 00:42:32,860 --> 00:42:33,539 400 horsepower. 1127 00:42:34,039 --> 00:42:35,039 Now, I probably went overboard 1128 00:42:35,039 --> 00:42:37,199 because I got the gold wings of stab up there, right? 1129 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:37,960 I had them installed. 1130 00:42:38,300 --> 00:42:39,519 Probably didn't need to do that. 1131 00:42:39,900 --> 00:42:41,719 But I'd have young guys come up in an intersection. 1132 00:42:41,980 --> 00:42:42,840 Like, man, look at that. 1133 00:42:42,940 --> 00:42:43,420 Can I say, yeah. 1134 00:42:44,019 --> 00:42:44,980 Please read this. 1135 00:42:45,340 --> 00:42:46,920 I come to valet at a restaurant. 1136 00:42:47,199 --> 00:42:47,840 Man, I like this car. 1137 00:42:48,420 --> 00:42:49,320 Please read this book. 1138 00:42:49,420 --> 00:42:50,219 It changed my life. 1139 00:42:51,519 --> 00:42:52,639 Gotta give him a $5 bill. 1140 00:42:52,739 --> 00:42:54,000 And you always have to give a $25 tip 1141 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,059 if you give the gospel of the waitress. 1142 00:42:55,199 --> 00:42:56,519 Don't simply be a cheap one there, right? 1143 00:42:57,940 --> 00:43:00,679 Now, I had no conviction when I bought that car at all. 1144 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:02,900 Three years later, God convicted me and said, 1145 00:43:02,940 --> 00:43:04,139 you know, you need to sell the car now. 1146 00:43:05,179 --> 00:43:06,440 So I'm working with Car Nation. 1147 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,300 This guy, Joe, Italian old guy from Brooklyn. 1148 00:43:12,099 --> 00:43:14,880 Long story short, he gets me a nice price. 1149 00:43:15,119 --> 00:43:16,179 I'm making money off it. 1150 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,179 Only had it three years, 21,000 miles. 1151 00:43:18,820 --> 00:43:21,860 He said, Mike, last minute, it's 3,000 less. 1152 00:43:22,340 --> 00:43:22,739 Sorry. 1153 00:43:23,539 --> 00:43:24,800 The company's going out of business. 1154 00:43:24,900 --> 00:43:28,099 But more importantly, I got a blood sugar level 300. 1155 00:43:28,340 --> 00:43:29,760 They said I could drop that any minute. 1156 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,900 At that point, I could be angry about what he committed. 1157 00:43:34,019 --> 00:43:34,739 Three extra thousand. 1158 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,519 Or I could say, God's got something here. 1159 00:43:36,699 --> 00:43:37,960 I said, Joe, can I pray for you? 1160 00:43:38,659 --> 00:43:39,320 He said, yeah. 1161 00:43:39,420 --> 00:43:40,860 He said, Father, in the name of Jesus Christ 1162 00:43:40,860 --> 00:43:43,599 by the power of his shed blood, please heal this man. 1163 00:43:44,260 --> 00:43:44,860 You love him. 1164 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,199 You sent your son to die on a cross. 1165 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:47,400 Went on and on. 1166 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,719 He said, nobody ever prayed like that for me. 1167 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,360 Three weeks later, he texted me. 1168 00:43:53,380 --> 00:43:55,300 My blood sugar level just fell in half. 1169 00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:58,800 He said, I've been dieting. 1170 00:43:58,920 --> 00:43:59,539 I've been doing all that. 1171 00:43:59,559 --> 00:44:02,159 I said, Joe, it has nothing to do with your diet, bro. 1172 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,519 I said, Jesus Christ is healing you. 1173 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,360 He said, I can feel his Holy Spirit. 1174 00:44:11,019 --> 00:44:14,500 Maybe that's why I had to sell the car. 1175 00:44:15,199 --> 00:44:16,179 I don't know. 1176 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,059 But I'm an open book today. 1177 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,340 This week, God's going to send someone for you to give the gospel to. 1178 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,019 They're going to call you up and say, this is John. 1179 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,280 We're selling gold coins from New York. 1180 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,059 I got a stock tip. 1181 00:44:36,639 --> 00:44:37,519

00:52:05,880 You don't get ripped off. 1383 00:52:07,639 --> 00:52:09,500 Tap me on the shoulder if you need prayer. 1384 00:52:10,159 --> 00:52:11,179 So I go to this plant of fitness. 1385 00:52:11,739 --> 00:52:12,480 I work out. 1386 00:52:12,619 --> 00:52:13,599 I want people to see, you know? 1387 00:52:14,659 --> 00:52:15,719 God's going to do it, not me. 1388 00:52:16,559 --> 00:52:18,059 God will have someone read the shirt. 1389 00:52:23,119 --> 00:52:24,739 I'm in jury duty the other day. 1390 00:52:25,079 --> 00:52:25,539 Doyle's Town. 1391 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:26,780 You don't want to be in jury duty. 1392 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,559 It's five days of the trial. 1393 00:52:29,460 --> 00:52:30,199 I'm busy. 1394 00:52:30,599 --> 00:52:31,800 Well, those people don't have this. 1395 00:52:32,039 --> 00:52:32,539 Some other time. 1396 00:52:32,679 --> 00:52:33,440 But I've got stuff. 1397 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:36,239 I don't want to do it. 1398 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,780 So they say, any objections from the 40 people here say, 1399 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:41,460 I don't like doctors. 1400 00:52:42,179 --> 00:52:43,300 I'm just being honest with you. 1401 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,900 I don't have good experience with doctors being sued 1402 00:52:46,519 --> 00:52:49,159 from people who lost the baby during delivery. 1403 00:52:50,340 --> 00:52:51,380 They're like 10 feet from each other. 1404 00:52:51,460 --> 00:52:51,800 Very intense. 1405 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:53,260 Very slack. 1406 00:52:54,519 --> 00:52:56,539 So later they call me in the back room. 1407 00:52:56,539 --> 00:52:58,440 You've got to tell us what's going on. 1408 00:52:59,059 --> 00:53:01,179 I'll try to be impartial. 1409 00:53:01,460 --> 00:53:03,639 But I went to the doctor. 1410 00:53:03,940 --> 00:53:06,579 I had this paralyzing pain in my jaw so much. 1411 00:53:06,679 --> 00:53:07,940 I'm staring at the wall 10 minutes. 1412 00:53:08,219 --> 00:53:09,000 I can't move. 1413 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:10,900 The doctor doesn't know what's going on. 1414 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:11,760 My wife at 3 a.m. 1415 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:13,880 says, oh, you've got chronic neurosis in your nerve. 1416 00:53:14,039 --> 00:53:14,699 You've got a tendon. 1417 00:53:16,139 --> 00:53:16,400 Call. 1418 00:53:16,659 --> 00:53:17,360 Yeah, yeah, you've got it. 1419 00:53:17,659 --> 00:53:18,539 Get it, get it, get it. 1420 00:53:18,980 --> 00:53:20,300 We just made the last rounds. 1421 00:53:20,460 --> 00:53:21,360 My wife found out. 1422 00:53:22,099 --> 00:53:25,619 She goes, she breaks her finger, goes to the doctor. 1423 00:53:25,940 --> 00:53:27,440 He said, oh, here's what I'm going to do. 1424 00:53:27,519 --> 00:53:28,039 I might do this. 1425 00:53:28,159 --> 00:53:28,539 I might do this. 1426 00:53:28,539 --> 00:53:30,679 She said, what if you did it this way and you did this? 1427 00:53:30,820 --> 00:53:32,139 And he said, oh, that might work. 1428 00:53:32,559 --> 00:53:33,539 But it might work. 1429 00:53:35,559 --> 00:53:38,019 She needed she had a nerve issue in her. 1430 00:53:38,380 --> 00:53:40,079 Feeling like a twin, something in the back of her neck. 1431 00:53:40,420 --> 00:53:42,400 We wait four months to go to a neurologist. 1432 00:53:44,420 --> 00:53:45,880 And the guy's here with his assistant. 1433 00:53:46,119 --> 00:53:46,500 He walks out. 1434 00:53:46,699 --> 00:53:48,179 Timmy's going to ask you some questions. 1435 00:53:49,579 --> 00:53:50,219 15 minutes. 1436 00:53:50,820 --> 00:53:51,599 He comes back in. 1437 00:53:52,059 --> 00:53:54,340 Oh, Timmy just told me what's told you. 1438 00:53:54,340 --> 00:53:57,059 See, you didn't see my wife's non-heracles. 1439 00:53:57,659 --> 00:53:59,599 You didn't see her tense up on certain questions. 1440 00:54:00,860 --> 00:54:01,519 I don't know, Timmy. 1441 00:54:01,579 --> 00:54:02,860 Timmy seems like a nice guy. 1442 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:03,380 He got 23. 1443 00:54:03,599 --> 00:54:05,519 I said, Timmy, I'm thinking Timmy could be cutting 1444 00:54:05,519 --> 00:54:07,159 wounds after work to make ends meet. 1445 00:54:07,300 --> 00:54:08,139 I don't know, Timmy. 1446 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:10,059 I waited four months for you. 1447 00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,460 So I'm telling these stories and others. 1448 00:54:15,139 --> 00:54:16,239 They said, can you be impartial? 1449 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:18,900 I said, I'm going to try, but I can't guarantee it. 1450 00:54:21,820 --> 00:54:26,179 Then the judge, he's about six foot six, maybe six foot eight, I don't know. 1451 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,079 Massive man, 800 pounds. 1452 00:54:29,780 --> 00:54:30,340 Big robe. 1453 00:54:31,139 --> 00:54:34,059 Two attorneys, two assistants, he's six people in a room. 1454 00:54:34,780 --> 00:54:38,860 And he does something no human being on earth would have predicted. 1455 00:54:42,940 --> 00:54:43,920 This is what he does. 1456 00:54:45,679 --> 00:54:46,579 He holds his phone up. 1457 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:47,940 Everybody's looking at him. 1458 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:48,920 He respects him. 1459 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:49,539 He looks like this guy. 1460 00:54:50,820 --> 00:54:56,679 For there's no other need given to men under heaven by which we must be saved. 1461 00:54:59,619 --> 00:55:01,139 He looked up my doors. 1462 00:55:02,900 --> 00:55:04,420 He ran into the room. 1463 00:55:07,179 --> 00:55:09,659 I was stunned, but I was ready. 1464 00:55:10,340 --> 00:55:11,480 His God blessed them. 1465 00:55:12,039 --> 00:55:13,719 They're all looking at me. 1466 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,599 To me, I made my way to Jesus Christ and being a new heart. 1467 00:55:16,599 --> 00:55:19,300 To dive across the function of all my sins. 1468 00:55:19,539 --> 00:55:22,699 I don't have to put a place called hell in Jesus' choice. 1469 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:24,880 She's definitely going to choose. 1470 00:55:26,340 --> 00:55:27,940 And he gets slapped up. 1471 00:55:30,300 --> 00:55:31,619 Guys, just wear a shirt. 1472 00:55:32,679 --> 00:55:33,039 Wear anything. 1473 00:55:34,119 --> 00:55:35,659 It's planting the seed. 1474 00:55:37,199 --> 00:55:37,519 You see? 1475 00:55:38,679 --> 00:55:43,039 Now, to be honest, I thought they'd view me as a conservative Christian nut guy 1476 00:55:43,039 --> 00:55:44,420 and be biased and not choosing. 1477 00:55:44,739 --> 00:55:45,940 They were trying to work through that. 1478 00:55:45,940 --> 00:55:46,559 They didn't care. 1479 00:55:47,380 --> 00:55:47,980 They didn't care. 1480 00:55:49,039 --> 00:55:51,159 But I'm glad I got out of that. 1481 00:56:00,859 --> 00:56:02,400 So another shirt I had. 1482 00:56:02,579 --> 00:56:05,579 My daughter says, do not wear that shirt to the gym. 1483 00:56:06,940 --> 00:56:08,500 Three days later, I'm not doing a shirt. 1484 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:11,420 It's it. 1485 00:56:11,900 --> 00:56:13,119 I'm not getting an apocalypse, guys. 1486 00:56:15,119 --> 00:56:16,219 Trump is my president. 1487 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:17,300 Jesus is my savior. 1488 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:21,219 I'm walking. 1489 00:56:23,699 --> 00:56:24,659 Raise your hand, Sean. 1490 00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:26,659 I'm walking towards that guy. 1491 00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:27,619 This is about a year ago. 1492 00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:29,199 I'm walking towards him. 1493 00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,559 He looks at me and says, I might need him soon. 1494 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:35,400 I read 37. 1495 00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:36,519 It's going on a lot of times. 1496 00:56:36,699 --> 00:56:37,860 But I have a quick look at it, right? 1497 00:56:38,559 --> 00:56:40,059 Let's see if I have 37s, you see? 1498 00:56:40,780 --> 00:56:42,619 I see a verse in the Bible. 1499 00:56:43,119 --> 00:56:48,739 10 Corinthians 120 says, for he who had no sin became sin for us 1500 00:56:48,739 --> 00:56:51,360 so that we might become the righteousness of God. 1501 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,760 When Jesus hung on the cross, he became your sin in mind 1502 00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:56,440 and took all the punishment of God. 1503 00:56:56,579 --> 00:56:57,340 I would have punished him. 1504 00:56:57,679 --> 00:57:00,199 And he gave us his righteousness and perfection. 1505 00:57:01,619 --> 00:57:03,139 It's the greatest decision you've ever had. 1506 00:57:03,579 --> 00:57:04,539 I'll talk to you later. 1507 00:57:05,740 --> 00:57:06,599 Walk away. 1508 00:57:07,260 --> 00:57:09,179 Because I'm so imperfect and forgetful. 1509 00:57:09,739 --> 00:57:11,619 For five weeks, I forget to bring him. 1510 00:57:11,619 --> 00:57:12,699 And ask him what he did. 1511 00:57:14,300 --> 00:57:15,559 Finally, I bumped in and he says, 1512 00:57:16,639 --> 00:57:17,679 bought my first Bible. 1513 00:57:18,639 --> 00:57:19,400 Not like that. 1514 00:57:20,039 --> 00:57:21,199 Bought my first Bible. 1515 00:57:22,539 --> 00:57:23,079 I said, wow. 1516 00:57:24,340 --> 00:57:24,880 I'm ready. 1517 00:57:26,239 --> 00:57:27,440 You could read that for years. 1518 00:57:27,719 --> 00:57:29,440 Or we could have breakfast and I could explain God's message 1519 00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:30,380 to you in 15 minutes. 1520 00:57:30,500 --> 00:57:31,260 But he said, oh, yeah. 1521 00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:34,519 Can you put the Romans road up, please? 1522 00:57:36,039 --> 00:57:37,380 And meet him at McDonald's. 1523 00:57:38,260 --> 00:57:39,679 See, somebody had already explained. 1524 00:57:42,199 --> 00:57:46,239 Because I said to him, for all he key, key, key. 1525 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,480 When you share the word of God, they must read, burst themselves. 1526 00:57:50,039 --> 00:57:51,059 Because the word is living. 1527 00:57:51,739 --> 00:57:54,099 Jesus Christ, the name was the word and the words with God. 1528 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:55,840 The word became flesh. 1529 00:57:56,659 --> 00:57:58,980 He's reading, fraud, sin, the false word of the glory of God. 1530 00:57:59,639 --> 00:58:00,519 I said, do you think you're a sinner? 1531 00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:04,280 As for the wage of sin is death, 1532 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:05,860 that the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus. 1533 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,119 We're going to get paid for our sins, Sean. 1534 00:58:08,860 --> 00:58:10,400 The wages of sin is death. 1535 00:58:10,679 --> 00:58:11,519 You work, you get it. 1536 00:58:11,519 --> 00:58:13,760 You sin, you're going to get paid for it. 1537 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,519 But you're not going to get paid in one lump sum. 1538 00:58:18,039 --> 00:58:19,980 It's like God writes a check out to you. 1539 00:58:22,559 --> 00:58:25,980 Amount death payable with Sean signed God. 1540 00:58:26,380 --> 00:58:28,500 But he gives it to you in three installments, I said. 1541 00:58:29,340 --> 00:58:31,460 We're born separated from God into the world 1542 00:58:31,460 --> 00:58:32,300 because of our sin. 1543 00:58:32,940 --> 00:58:34,159 Isaiah 55.7, right? 1544 00:58:34,739 --> 00:58:35,260 Share it. 1545 00:58:37,420 --> 00:58:38,619 You're going to die physically. 1546 00:58:38,900 --> 00:58:40,719 Therefore, just as man destined to die once 1547 00:58:40,719 --> 00:58:43,280 and face judgment, you're going to die physically. 1548 00:58:43,500 --> 00:58:44,500 You don't believe that or yes. 1549 00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:45,940 I said to you, die physically. 1550 00:58:46,559 --> 00:58:48,900 When you're spiritually separated from God, 1551 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,019 then you get the third part of the check. 1552 00:58:54,579 --> 00:58:56,460 I said, do you want to see the future, Sean? 1553 00:58:57,920 --> 00:58:59,159 Yeah, the day of judgment. 1554 00:59:01,420 --> 00:59:02,300 Revelation 20. 1555 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,480 And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, 1556 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,260 having the key to... 1557 00:59:07,260 --> 00:59:08,219 Oh, sorry, wrong one. 1558 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:09,699 Release 20. 1559 00:59:11,059 --> 00:59:12,099 Then I saw the great white... 1560 00:59:12,099 --> 00:59:13,239 This is the judgment of all. 1561 00:59:13,659 --> 00:59:14,719 The end of the world, guys. 1562 00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,599 Then I saw a great white throne in him, 1563 00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:19,840 God, who was seated on it. 1564 00:59:20,260 --> 00:59:21,699 Earth and sky fled from his presence 1565 00:59:21,699 --> 00:59:22,880 and there was no place for them. 1566 00:59:23,260 --> 00:59:25,639 And I saw the dead, great and small, 1567 00:59:26,039 --> 00:59:27,119 standing before the throne. 1568 00:59:28,420 --> 00:59:30,179 Everybody that died in history, right? 1569 00:59:31,139 --> 00:59:32,639 And the books were opened. 1570 00:59:36,300 --> 00:59:37,480 The books were opened. 1571 00:59:39,719 --> 00:59:40,960 Another book was opened. 1572 00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:43,599 The book of life. 1573 00:59:43,940 --> 00:59:44,940 The Lamb's book of life, 1574 00:59:45,059 --> 00:59:46,300 containing the names of all believers, 1575 00:59:46,980 --> 00:59:47,920 which is the book of life. 1576 00:59:48,199 --> 00:59:50,099 The dead were judged according to what they had done 1577 00:59:50,099 --> 00:59:51,239 as recorded in the books. 1578 00:59:53,239 --> 00:59:54,840 The sea gave up the dead that were in it 1579 00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,059 and death in Hades gave up the dead that were in them. 1580 00:59:57,659 --> 01:00:01,000 And each person was judged according to what they had done. 1581 01:00:01,900 --> 01:00:04,019 Then death in Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. 1582 01:00:04,139 --> 01:00:05,320 The lake of fire is the second death. 1583 01:00:05,460 --> 01:00:06,960 If anyone's name was not found written 1584 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:08,860 in the book of life, 1585 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,539 he was thrown into the lake of fire. 1586 01:00:10,639 --> 01:00:15,340 I said, Sean, if you die physically, 1587 01:00:15,679 --> 01:00:16,420 can your spirits decide, 1588 01:00:16,539 --> 01:00:17,760 he's going to look you up and say, 1589 01:00:19,699 --> 01:00:20,380 McKinney, McKinney. 1590 01:00:20,539 --> 01:00:22,420 Oh, Sean, here's your life. 1591

01:00:35,519 If anyone's name was not found 1598 01:00:35,519 --> 01:00:36,320 in an Lamb's book of life, 1599 01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:37,619 he's thrown into the lake of fire. 1600 01:00:38,699 --> 01:00:39,679 It's a real place. 1601 01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:44,280 I said to him, 1602 01:00:44,639 --> 01:00:47,019 but God said he demonstrated his own love for us. 1603 01:00:47,460 --> 01:00:48,639 God demonstrated his own love 1604 01:00:48,639 --> 01:00:51,019 by having Christ die for us while we're still sinners. 1605 01:00:51,559 --> 01:00:52,199 Do you believe that? 1606 01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:52,619 Yes. 1607 01:00:54,300 --> 01:00:56,219 Salvation comes through declaring Jesus the Lord. 1608 01:00:57,260 --> 01:00:58,760 Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord, 1609 01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:00,539 do you want to receive Jesus Christ now? 1610 01:01:01,539 --> 01:01:02,119 He said, yes. 1611 01:01:05,199 --> 01:01:06,679 Sean, you got a minute? 1612

01:01:35,739 I was missing something in my life. 1626 01:01:37,420 --> 01:01:38,900 I didn't know. 1627 01:01:39,579 --> 01:01:40,639 Things happened in my life. 1628 01:01:40,719 --> 01:01:41,420 I lost everything. 1629 01:01:41,699 --> 01:01:42,599 I was home one time, 1630 01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:44,619 got back on my feet, 1631 01:01:44,820 --> 01:01:46,360 and I got back on my feet. 1632 01:01:47,519 --> 01:01:48,780 I'm like, you know what I mean? 1633 01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:50,900 And I used to sit on my feet. 1634 01:01:52,380 --> 01:01:54,260 I'm such a great guy that I love. 1635

1644 01:02:16,420 --> 01:02:16,880 I get my coach. 1645 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:17,820 He goes to the back. 1646 01:02:18,059 --> 01:02:18,519 It's my feeling. 1647 01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:21,139 Yeah,
