- Leviticus 16:8,
00:00:19.180 --> 00:00:22.180
"Then Aaron shall cast lots
00:00:22.180 --> 00:00:23.290
for two goats,
00:00:23.290 --> 00:00:24.250
one lot for the Lord
00:00:24.250 --> 00:00:26.110
and the other
00:00:26.110 --> 00:00:27.020
for the scapegoat."
00:00:27.020 --> 00:00:28.240
I'll stop there for the sake
00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:31.200
of time and then go over to
00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:33.240
Verse 21.
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:34.260
"And Aaron shall lay hands
00:00:34.260 --> 00:00:35.270
on the head of the live goat."
00:00:35.270 --> 00:00:38.100
Everybody say "live goat."
00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:42.100
"And confess over it
00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:43.160
the inequities
00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:44.080
of the children of Israel,
00:00:44.080 --> 00:00:45.100
and all the transgressions
00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:46.090
concerning their sins,
00:00:46.090 --> 00:00:48.120
putting them on the head
00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:49.030
of the goat,
00:00:49.030 --> 00:00:49.260
and shall send it away
00:00:49.260 --> 00:00:51.260
into the wilderness by the hand
00:00:51.260 --> 00:00:53.050
of a fit man."
00:00:53.050 --> 00:00:56.010
The King James says,
00:00:56.010 --> 00:00:57.160
"a fit man", or the translation
00:00:57.160 --> 00:00:59.000
I was reading says, "suitable".
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:01.200
I like the wording of
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.100
the King James, "a fit man".
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.000
The fitness industry
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.040
is a 27 billion dollar industry.
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.200
I shared this little information
00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:14.250
during the fast,
00:01:14.250 --> 00:01:16.010
but I want to now apply it
00:01:16.010 --> 00:01:17.210
to a message,
00:01:17.210 --> 00:01:18.160
so lean in for a moment,
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:19.220
but 80% of those who join
00:01:19.220 --> 00:01:21.100
at the beginning
00:01:21.100 --> 00:01:22.070
of the new year,
00:01:22.070 --> 00:01:23.050
a fitness center, will quit.
00:01:23.050 --> 00:01:25.060
By the second week of February,
00:01:25.060 --> 00:01:27.060
they'll drop out.
00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:29.100
Fitness centers sell memberships
00:01:29.100 --> 00:01:31.100
on the expectation...this is
00:01:31.100 --> 00:01:33.240
pretty remarkable,
00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:34.270
that only 18% will continue
00:01:34.270 --> 00:01:36.060
to use them beyond February.
00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:38.010
And, if everybody showed up
00:01:38.010 --> 00:01:39.240
who has memberships,
00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:41.050
they would not be able
00:01:41.050 --> 00:01:42.270
to contain the people,
00:01:42.270 --> 00:01:44.190
but they know,
00:01:44.190 --> 00:01:45.090
they just know statistically,
00:01:45.090 --> 00:01:47.060
people get excited about
00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:48.180
the idea of being fit,
00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:50.050
but it just doesn't last.
00:01:50.170 --> 00:01:53.170
Only 1% last a year
00:01:53.170 --> 00:01:55.250
in a fitness center.
00:01:55.250 --> 00:01:58.070
Only 1 in 5 will go longer
00:01:58.070 --> 00:02:00.080
than a month.
00:02:00.080 --> 00:02:01.210
So you buy it,
00:02:01.210 --> 00:02:02.240
and you sign up,
00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:04.170
and you're in,
00:02:04.170 --> 00:02:07.080
and you're excited
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:08.020
for a max of about 3 to 4 weeks.
00:02:08.210 --> 00:02:11.210
Only 18% will use
00:02:11.210 --> 00:02:12.240
that fitness membership
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.170
more than a couple of months,
00:02:14.170 --> 00:02:17.000
and then they just fall away.
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:18.120
It's a good idea,
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.040
we think to be a fit man,
00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:21.210
but we lack the discipline.
00:02:22.230 --> 00:02:25.230
In this Scripture,
00:02:25.230 --> 00:02:27.140
something amazing
00:02:27.140 --> 00:02:28.140
is taking place.
00:02:28.140 --> 00:02:29.290
There is a search going on
00:02:29.290 --> 00:02:31.200
for a fit or suitable man
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.080
for a certain task
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:35.290
that is critically,
00:02:35.290 --> 00:02:36.280
critically important.
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.090
It means blessing or curse.
00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:40.200
It means life or death.
00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:43.030
It means incredible good things
00:02:43.210 --> 00:02:46.210
happening to families,
00:02:46.210 --> 00:02:49.170
or bad, bad things happening
00:02:49.170 --> 00:02:52.080
to families
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:53.010
under the old covenant.
00:02:53.010 --> 00:02:54.170
It's the Day of Atonement.
00:02:54.170 --> 00:02:56.150
Atonement means to appease,
00:02:56.150 --> 00:02:59.110
to forgive, to pardon,
00:02:59.110 --> 00:03:00.250
to purge, to cancel out.
00:03:00.250 --> 00:03:03.050
"At-one-ment" is how atonement
00:03:03.050 --> 00:03:05.100
is spelled, that somehow
00:03:05.100 --> 00:03:06.280
there's something
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.200
that's gonna be done on this day
00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:10.010
that will make people
00:03:10.010 --> 00:03:11.060
who are far from God
00:03:11.060 --> 00:03:12.150
"at-one-ment" with God again,
00:03:13.190 --> 00:03:16.190
get God back to man.
00:03:16.190 --> 00:03:19.070
So God designed
00:03:19.070 --> 00:03:21.110
an Old Testament system
00:03:21.110 --> 00:03:22.270
that is a shadow
00:03:22.270 --> 00:03:24.200
of something great to come
00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:26.030
that we celebrate this morning.
00:03:26.030 --> 00:03:27.290
He said,
00:03:27.290 --> 00:03:29.060
you are to take two goats.
00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:30.240
The high priest
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:31.110
is to take two goats
00:03:31.110 --> 00:03:32.280
on the Day of Atonement,
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.060
and offer as a sin offering.
00:03:34.070 --> 00:03:37.070
It took two goats.
00:03:37.070 --> 00:03:39.010
One was not sufficient.
00:03:39.010 --> 00:03:40.230
It was one offering,
00:03:40.230 --> 00:03:42.210
but it required two goats,
00:03:42.210 --> 00:03:45.050
and I'm gonna tell you why.
00:03:45.050 --> 00:03:46.050
The first goat was called
00:03:46.050 --> 00:03:48.140
the Lord's goat.
00:03:48.140 --> 00:03:49.180
Everybody say,
00:03:49.180 --> 00:03:50.130
"the Lord's goat."
00:03:50.130 --> 00:03:52.040
The reason it was called
00:03:52.040 --> 00:03:53.100
the Lord's goat
00:03:53.100 --> 00:03:54.210
is it was offered
00:03:54.210 --> 00:03:56.110
as a sacrifice for sin.
00:03:56.110 --> 00:03:58.180
It had to meet the price
00:03:58.180 --> 00:04:01.180
of the justice of God,
00:04:01.180 --> 00:04:03.070
and God had said the soul
00:04:03.070 --> 00:04:04.280
that sins must die.
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.260
Secondly, without
00:04:06.260 --> 00:04:08.240
the shedding of blood
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:09.230
there is no remission of sin,
00:04:09.230 --> 00:04:11.110
so the first goat had to die.
00:04:11.110 --> 00:04:13.240
It had to die.
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.150
Its blood had to be shed,
00:04:15.150 --> 00:04:17.280
and so they would kill it,
00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:18.230
and it represented taking
00:04:19.090 --> 00:04:22.090
an offering, sin offering,
00:04:22.090 --> 00:04:24.040
and forgiveness of sin
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.010
for every sin
00:04:26.010 --> 00:04:27.090
that was committed.
00:04:27.090 --> 00:04:28.210
Then there was the second goat,
00:04:28.210 --> 00:04:30.140
that was called the scapegoat,
00:04:30.140 --> 00:04:32.020
S-C-A-P-E.
00:04:32.020 --> 00:04:34.040
We would call it the E-scape,
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.210
the escape goat,
00:04:36.210 --> 00:04:39.020
and this is an
00:04:39.020 --> 00:04:40.060
interesting scene,
00:04:40.060 --> 00:04:41.050
and I want you to picture it
00:04:41.050 --> 00:04:42.010
in your mind.
00:04:42.010 --> 00:04:43.050
The high priest would get
00:04:43.050 --> 00:04:44.270
with every family,
00:04:44.270 --> 00:04:46.210
and it would take sometimes
00:04:46.210 --> 00:04:47.210
weeks and weeks and months
00:04:47.210 --> 00:04:48.270
leading up to the big
00:04:48.270 --> 00:04:50.250
Day of Atonement,
00:04:50.250 --> 00:04:51.240
when the animal,
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:52.290
one would die
00:04:52.290 --> 00:04:53.260
and one would be set free.
00:04:53.260 --> 00:04:55.180
And what he would do with
00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:57.080
the living goat
00:04:57.080 --> 00:04:59.000
is the families would come,
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.280
one by one, and present themself
00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:02.160
to the high priest,
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.020
and they would confess out loud
00:05:04.020 --> 00:05:05.080
every sin they had committed
00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:07.130
over the past 12 months -
00:05:07.140 --> 00:05:10.140
the children, the parents,
00:05:10.140 --> 00:05:12.180
the grandparents.
00:05:12.180 --> 00:05:13.250
You can imagine
00:05:13.250 --> 00:05:15.260
this confession service,
00:05:15.260 --> 00:05:17.190
where all of the people
00:05:17.190 --> 00:05:18.200
were standing around.
00:05:18.200 --> 00:05:21.140
It produced a certain
00:05:21.140 --> 00:05:22.110
amount of anxiety
00:05:22.110 --> 00:05:23.070
and I'm sure embarrassment
00:05:23.070 --> 00:05:23.270
among the people.
00:05:23.270 --> 00:05:25.160
Imagine how husbands
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.090
were looking at wives.
00:05:27.090 --> 00:05:29.100
You did what?
00:05:29.100 --> 00:05:30.170
And wives were looking
00:05:30.170 --> 00:05:31.210
at husbands,
00:05:31.210 --> 00:05:32.190
and takin' wedding bands off,
00:05:32.190 --> 00:05:34.120
and children were looking
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.230
at their parents.
00:05:36.230 --> 00:05:37.130
You did what?
00:05:37.130 --> 00:05:38.240
What kind of parents are you?
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:41.040
And then,
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:41.280
children were confessing out
00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:42.200
loud while that was happening.
00:05:42.200 --> 00:05:43.240
Why was that necessary?
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:44.280
Let's say this is the goat,
00:05:44.280 --> 00:05:46.140
the escape goat.
00:05:46.140 --> 00:05:48.150
The high priest would lay
00:05:48.150 --> 00:05:49.180
his hands on the head
00:05:49.180 --> 00:05:51.020
of that goat,
00:05:51.020 --> 00:05:52.050
transferring everything
00:05:52.050 --> 00:05:54.060
they were confessing
00:05:54.060 --> 00:05:55.040
out of their mouth,
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:56.070
through his hands,
00:05:56.070 --> 00:05:57.170
into that goat.
00:05:57.170 --> 00:05:59.120
That goat was taking every sin
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.010
that family had committed,
00:06:01.060 --> 00:06:04.060
and they would stand there
00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:05.270
until they had
00:06:05.270 --> 00:06:06.180
completely confessed to him
00:06:06.180 --> 00:06:08.040
every sin they could think of.
00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:11.100
And I'm sure that there
00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:12.230
were tears,
00:06:12.230 --> 00:06:14.070
and I'm sure that there
00:06:14.070 --> 00:06:15.180
were sorrows, and I'm sure
00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:16.240
that there was weeping.
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.150
The priest would lay his hands
00:06:18.150 --> 00:06:19.270
on that goat,
00:06:19.270 --> 00:06:21.050
transferring the sins
00:06:21.050 --> 00:06:22.160
into that goat,
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.150
and then the goat
00:06:24.150 --> 00:06:25.170
would be taken by a fit man -
00:06:25.170 --> 00:06:28.110
not just any man,
00:06:28.110 --> 00:06:29.210
he had to be a fit man,
00:06:29.210 --> 00:06:31.010
because of the task.
00:06:31.010 --> 00:06:33.000
The task was very, very...not
00:06:35.090 --> 00:06:38.090
any man would do.
00:06:38.090 --> 00:06:39.060
Not any man could handle it.
00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:40.120
Not any man could just survive
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:41.180
the wilderness experience,
00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:43.270
'cause he had to take it
00:06:43.270 --> 00:06:46.000
so far away that it could never
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:47.140
find its way back.
00:06:47.140 --> 00:06:49.250
It would bring
00:06:49.250 --> 00:06:51.030
a tremendous curse
00:06:51.030 --> 00:06:52.200
on the people if the goat
00:06:52.200 --> 00:06:54.260
that all of the sins of the camp
00:06:54.260 --> 00:06:56.100
had been transferred
00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:57.220
onto somehow came back.
00:06:57.220 --> 00:06:59.140
It would be the tragedy
00:06:59.140 --> 00:07:00.120
of tragedies.
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:01.190
So, catch it.
00:07:01.190 --> 00:07:03.120
The first goat had to shed
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:04.180
its blood and die,
00:07:04.180 --> 00:07:06.220
and it was used
00:07:06.220 --> 00:07:08.060
for forgiveness of sin,
00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:09.150
but the second goat was used
00:07:09.150 --> 00:07:11.190
for the removal of sin,
00:07:11.190 --> 00:07:13.110
freedom from sin,
00:07:13.110 --> 00:07:15.060
the release from sin,
00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:16.230
separation from sin.
00:07:16.230 --> 00:07:19.030
It was taken away.
00:07:19.030 --> 00:07:21.160
Now, I just need to preach
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:22.100
that it's not enough
00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:23.160
to come to Jesus
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:24.140
and get your sins forgiven.
00:07:24.140 --> 00:07:26.210
This is why the death
00:07:26.210 --> 00:07:28.270
and resurrection of Jesus Christ
00:07:28.270 --> 00:07:30.230
is so powerful,
00:07:30.230 --> 00:07:32.010
because it took two animals -
00:07:32.010 --> 00:07:33.280
one had to die,
00:07:33.280 --> 00:07:34.280
and one had to live.
00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:36.160
You had to have the blood
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:37.270
of the sacrificer
00:07:37.270 --> 00:07:39.020
and you had to have the life
00:07:39.020 --> 00:07:40.110
of the liberator
00:07:40.110 --> 00:07:41.230
to take the sin away.
00:07:41.230 --> 00:07:43.120
And look at my Jesus.
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:44.270
He dies as the sacrificer,
00:07:44.270 --> 00:07:47.020
but three days later
00:07:47.020 --> 00:07:48.110
He rises back to life
00:07:48.110 --> 00:07:50.170
as the liberator and says,
00:07:50.170 --> 00:07:51.240
I can take you.
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.130
I can take this out
00:07:54.130 --> 00:07:55.100
of your life!
00:07:55.100 --> 00:07:56.090
You don't have to be bound
00:07:56.090 --> 00:07:57.230
to sin.
00:07:57.230 --> 00:07:58.230
I'm glad you got
00:07:58.230 --> 00:07:59.290
forgiveness of sin,
00:07:59.290 --> 00:08:00.290
but you can be free
00:08:00.290 --> 00:08:02.030
from addiction,
00:08:02.210 --> 00:08:05.210
free from condemnation,
00:08:05.210 --> 00:08:07.040
free from shame and guilt,
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:08.140
free from alcoholism!
00:08:08.140 --> 00:08:11.080
Somebody's watching me
00:08:11.080 --> 00:08:13.090
by television,
00:08:13.090 --> 00:08:14.100
and you've almost wanted
00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:15.140
to put a gun to your brain
00:08:15.140 --> 00:08:16.270
because the enemy's told you
00:08:16.270 --> 00:08:17.290
you can never be free!
00:08:17.290 --> 00:08:19.240
But, Jesus cannot only forgive
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.150
your sin, he whom the Son
00:08:21.150 --> 00:08:23.040
sets free is free indeed!
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.210
He can liberate you from sin!
00:08:25.210 --> 00:08:28.070
Somebody give God praise
00:08:28.070 --> 00:08:29.080
if you believe it's the truth!
00:08:33.050 --> 00:08:36.050
Let me give you an illustration
00:08:36.050 --> 00:08:37.050
of what I'm talkin' about.
00:08:37.050 --> 00:08:38.220
See, I could back up in the
00:08:38.220 --> 00:08:40.020
parking lot and I could hit
00:08:40.020 --> 00:08:41.110
your car and mess your car up,
00:08:41.110 --> 00:08:43.010
and you could say to me,
00:08:43.010 --> 00:08:45.200
if you were a nice person,
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.110
Pastor, it's okay.
00:08:48.050 --> 00:08:51.050
I forgive you.
00:08:51.050 --> 00:08:52.090
I have a bad dent in my fender,
00:08:52.090 --> 00:08:54.210
but I forgive you.
00:08:54.210 --> 00:08:56.250
You don't have to pay for it.
00:08:56.250 --> 00:08:57.290
You are forgiven.
00:08:57.290 --> 00:08:59.090
That's what the first goat did.
00:08:59.090 --> 00:09:01.060
But, the dent is still there.
00:09:01.190 --> 00:09:04.190
But if there was some way
00:09:04.190 --> 00:09:06.150
that I could not only be
00:09:06.150 --> 00:09:08.050
forgiven of it, but somehow
00:09:08.050 --> 00:09:10.180
the dent could be taken out
00:09:10.180 --> 00:09:12.140
and taken away,
00:09:12.140 --> 00:09:13.290
how awesome would that be?
00:09:13.290 --> 00:09:15.260
This is what Jesus did for you
00:09:15.260 --> 00:09:17.220
when He died
00:09:17.220 --> 00:09:18.240
and rose from the grave.
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.140
When you get to heaven,
00:09:20.140 --> 00:09:21.160
they'll open the books
00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:22.280
and there will be no proof,
00:09:22.280 --> 00:09:24.280
nothing there
00:09:24.280 --> 00:09:26.210
but the blood of Jesus
00:09:26.210 --> 00:09:28.100
that has cleansed you
00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:29.190
from all your sins,
00:09:29.220 --> 00:09:32.220
and the proof is gone!
00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:34.290
The dent is gone!
00:09:39.010 --> 00:09:42.010
The first goat
00:09:42.090 --> 00:09:45.090
was to forgive you for it.
00:09:45.090 --> 00:09:47.010
The second goat
00:09:47.010 --> 00:09:48.170
was to separate you from it!
00:09:49.030 --> 00:09:52.030
I'm glad you gave your heart
00:09:52.030 --> 00:09:53.270
to the Lord,
00:09:53.270 --> 00:09:55.140
but if you went right back
00:09:55.140 --> 00:09:57.000
to what you were doin',
00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.140
livin' like you were livin',
00:09:58.140 --> 00:09:59.160
you have not experienced
00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:01.080
the Savior in His fullness.
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.190
When you really get saved,
00:10:03.190 --> 00:10:05.020
there is separation.
00:10:05.020 --> 00:10:06.190
There are things
00:10:06.190 --> 00:10:07.200
that leave your life.
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.080
If you didn't lose nothin',
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.010
you didn't get nothin'.
00:10:12.010 --> 00:10:13.190
If you didn't leave nothin',
00:10:13.190 --> 00:10:14.230
you didn't get nothin'.
00:10:14.230 --> 00:10:17.060
You don't get saved
00:10:17.060 --> 00:10:19.020
to stay in the filth
00:10:19.020 --> 00:10:21.080
that you were rescued out of.
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.280
Separation matters!
00:10:25.010 --> 00:10:28.010
And so, there's a search,
00:10:29.030 --> 00:10:32.030
trying to find a fit man
00:10:32.030 --> 00:10:33.110
who can escort the goat
00:10:33.110 --> 00:10:36.030
so far into the wilderness,
00:10:36.030 --> 00:10:38.110
a fit man who nobody...we're
00:10:42.150 --> 00:10:45.150
never told the name
00:10:45.150 --> 00:10:47.060
of a fit man,
00:10:47.060 --> 00:10:48.010
even though this ceremony
00:10:48.010 --> 00:10:49.000
happened once a year.
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:50.120
So, you have to decide
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.030
if you're gonna be fit
00:10:52.030 --> 00:10:53.110
or famous.
00:10:53.110 --> 00:10:54.160
Sometimes you can't be famous
00:10:54.160 --> 00:10:56.150
and popular and be a fit man.
00:10:56.150 --> 00:10:58.250
Sometimes you can't be
00:10:58.250 --> 00:10:59.160
a fit father and be famous
00:10:59.160 --> 00:11:01.040
with your kids.
00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:02.130
'Cause sometimes,
00:11:02.130 --> 00:11:04.120
you know a higher good
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.090
and because you know
00:11:06.090 --> 00:11:07.050
a higher good that their youth
00:11:07.050 --> 00:11:08.240
and inexperience doesn't know,
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.140
you have to be willing
00:11:10.140 --> 00:11:11.260
to be perceived as a bad father,
00:11:11.260 --> 00:11:14.000
but really you're bein'
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.260
a good father,
00:11:15.260 --> 00:11:17.110
because you know
00:11:17.110 --> 00:11:18.030
the higher good.
00:11:18.030 --> 00:11:19.090
And sometimes God is perceived
00:11:19.090 --> 00:11:20.050
as being a bad God,
00:11:20.050 --> 00:11:21.170
but He who knows everything
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.200
sees a higher good
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:25.200
He's working,
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:26.240
and even when it looks like
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.100
He's a bad God,
00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:29.240
He's really a good God,
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:31.120
'cause He knows where
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:32.010
everything's gonna end up
00:11:32.010 --> 00:11:33.010
in the end.
00:11:35.290 --> 00:11:38.290
And so, they're looking.
00:11:38.290 --> 00:11:41.200
We've got to find a fit man,
00:11:43.010 --> 00:11:46.010
not a famous man, not a player.
00:11:48.090 --> 00:11:51.090
We need a fit man.
00:11:51.090 --> 00:11:52.290
We need a man who is fit.
00:11:55.030 --> 00:11:58.030
He won't get any praise.
00:11:58.030 --> 00:11:59.190
He won't get any honor.
00:11:59.190 --> 00:12:02.100
His name will never
00:12:02.100 --> 00:12:03.180
be mentioned,
00:12:03.180 --> 00:12:04.100
but he will be fit.
00:12:04.100 --> 00:12:06.160
The word "fit" means suited
00:12:06.160 --> 00:12:08.240
for the task, proper and decent,
00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:12.100
capable of surviving
00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:13.070
the environment,
00:12:13.070 --> 00:12:14.240
ready and willing to sacrifice
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.130
morally, mentally,
00:12:16.130 --> 00:12:18.060
physically sound.
00:12:18.060 --> 00:12:20.140
Headed into the wilderness
00:12:20.140 --> 00:12:21.240
with a goat
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:22.200
that carried all the sins
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.040
of the people,
00:12:24.040 --> 00:12:25.290
and the whole thing
00:12:25.290 --> 00:12:26.290
was upon him to get that goat
00:12:26.290 --> 00:12:28.280
so lost so that it could never,
00:12:28.280 --> 00:12:31.210
with its instinct,
00:12:31.210 --> 00:12:33.080
find its way back to where
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:36.030
it had been so well
00:12:36.030 --> 00:12:37.000
taken care of.
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:37.260
He's going into a lonely land.
00:12:37.270 --> 00:12:40.270
He's not gonna be famous,
00:12:40.270 --> 00:12:42.250
he's gonna be lonely.
00:12:42.250 --> 00:12:44.150
He's going into a land
00:12:44.150 --> 00:12:46.010
of thirst, and hunger,
00:12:46.010 --> 00:12:48.130
and fatigue.
00:12:48.130 --> 00:12:49.080
It's wearisome.
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:50.090
It's a wilderness experience,
00:12:50.180 --> 00:12:53.180
and God says that's the kind
00:12:53.180 --> 00:12:54.240
of man that I need.
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.120
I don't need a famous man.
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:57.230
I don't need any man.
00:12:57.230 --> 00:12:58.230
Any man won't do.
00:12:58.230 --> 00:13:00.040
I've gotta have some fit men.
00:13:00.040 --> 00:13:02.180
We need some fit men.
00:13:02.180 --> 00:13:04.020
We need some fit fathers.
00:13:04.020 --> 00:13:05.100
We need some fit mothers.
00:13:05.100 --> 00:13:06.220
We need some fit preachers.
00:13:06.220 --> 00:13:08.160
We need some fit people
00:13:08.160 --> 00:13:10.010
who are willing to walk
00:13:10.010 --> 00:13:11.280
through the wilderness
00:13:11.280 --> 00:13:13.030
and willing to do things
00:13:13.030 --> 00:13:14.000
that other people
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:14.270
aren't willing to do,
00:13:14.270 --> 00:13:16.030
because they want
00:13:16.030 --> 00:13:17.080
to please the Lord.
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.210
A man who would find his way
00:13:19.210 --> 00:13:21.100
back home after he got
00:13:21.100 --> 00:13:22.220
the goat lost,
00:13:22.220 --> 00:13:23.240
because if you're not careful,
00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:26.130
it's possible to lose yourself
00:13:26.130 --> 00:13:27.260
while you're tryin'
00:13:27.260 --> 00:13:28.290
to help somebody else.
00:13:28.290 --> 00:13:30.150
He's got to bear the goat
00:13:30.150 --> 00:13:32.260
and take it so far away,
00:13:32.260 --> 00:13:34.140
and while you're tryin' to help
00:13:34.140 --> 00:13:35.200
everybody else with their stuff,
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:36.180
you're losing yourself.
00:13:36.180 --> 00:13:39.160
A man who could get
00:13:39.160 --> 00:13:41.060
the sin-bearing goat lost
00:13:41.060 --> 00:13:43.130
without getting himself lost
00:13:43.130 --> 00:13:44.200
in the process.
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:45.290
How important!
00:13:46.070 --> 00:13:49.070
The greatest horror of horrors
00:13:49.070 --> 00:13:51.030
would be if that goat,
00:13:51.030 --> 00:13:53.120
or that sin,
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:54.260
made its way back
00:13:54.260 --> 00:13:55.170
to that family, to that camp.
00:13:55.170 --> 00:13:57.190
The chief concern for a fit man
00:13:57.190 --> 00:14:00.170
was his family,
00:14:00.170 --> 00:14:02.290
was his children,
00:14:02.290 --> 00:14:04.180
was his home,
00:14:04.180 --> 00:14:06.140
was his people.
00:14:06.140 --> 00:14:08.170
All of the blood of atonement
00:14:08.170 --> 00:14:10.060
would be wasted
00:14:10.060 --> 00:14:11.120
if it comes back.
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.130
And so many times we ask God
00:14:13.130 --> 00:14:14.120
for forgiveness of sin,
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.050
and His shed blood
00:14:16.050 --> 00:14:17.160
and death has paid for
00:14:17.160 --> 00:14:18.230
that forgiveness of sin,
00:14:18.230 --> 00:14:20.040
but then there comes this thing
00:14:20.040 --> 00:14:21.110
of being filled enough
00:14:21.110 --> 00:14:23.130
with the Holy Spirit
00:14:23.130 --> 00:14:24.180
that we get liberated from sin
00:14:24.180 --> 00:14:26.170
and we put sin
00:14:26.170 --> 00:14:27.150
a separate way from us.
00:14:27.150 --> 00:14:30.090
This little thing
00:14:30.090 --> 00:14:31.110
of just prayin' a prayer
00:14:31.110 --> 00:14:33.020
and then living
00:14:33.020 --> 00:14:34.100
any way you want to - folks,
00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:35.090
that is not Bible salvation.
00:14:35.150 --> 00:14:38.150
Salvation requires separation
00:14:38.150 --> 00:14:40.230
from inequity, and wickedness,
00:14:40.230 --> 00:14:42.190
and evil, and known sin
00:14:42.190 --> 00:14:45.050
The fit man really needed
00:14:52.030 --> 00:14:54.120
to love God.
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:55.140
He had to be trusted.
00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:58.220
He didn't need to be unfit,
00:14:58.220 --> 00:15:00.090
meaning not morally
00:15:00.090 --> 00:15:02.220
and mentally suitable,
00:15:02.220 --> 00:15:04.000
lacking good judgment,
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:06.070
couldn't stand the pressure
00:15:06.070 --> 00:15:08.120
of a hostile environment.
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.110
If you're a fit man,
00:15:10.110 --> 00:15:11.130
you can get in
00:15:11.130 --> 00:15:12.010
a hostile environment,
00:15:12.010 --> 00:15:13.110
but it doesn't change
00:15:13.110 --> 00:15:13.290
who you are.
00:15:13.290 --> 00:15:14.290
You can go to the office party
00:15:14.290 --> 00:15:16.190
and everybody can be doin'
00:15:16.190 --> 00:15:18.020
whatever they're doin',
00:15:18.020 --> 00:15:19.020
and you go in there
00:15:19.020 --> 00:15:19.290
and you do your thing
00:15:19.290 --> 00:15:20.230
'cause you need to do it,
00:15:20.230 --> 00:15:21.230
but it doesn't change
00:15:21.230 --> 00:15:22.290
who you are.
00:15:22.290 --> 00:15:23.290
Wherever you go,
00:15:23.290 --> 00:15:25.010
you're a fit man.
00:15:26.280 --> 00:15:29.280
You don't want those goats
00:15:29.280 --> 00:15:30.200
to come back,
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:31.260
because if they come back,
00:15:31.260 --> 00:15:33.050
they're gonna find
00:15:33.050 --> 00:15:33.280
your children,
00:15:33.280 --> 00:15:34.230
and it's gonna get greater then,
00:15:34.230 --> 00:15:36.140
and this bondage
00:15:36.140 --> 00:15:37.100
is gonna get greater
00:15:37.100 --> 00:15:38.030
on that house.
00:15:38.030 --> 00:15:39.120
You don't want that stuff back.
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.270
Get the goats away
00:15:43.250 --> 00:15:46.250
from my family was the cry
00:15:46.250 --> 00:15:48.160
of the fit man.
00:15:48.160 --> 00:15:51.070
Lot was an unfit man.
00:15:51.070 --> 00:15:53.140
Lot would not separate himself
00:15:53.140 --> 00:15:55.030
from Sodom and Gomorrah,
00:15:55.030 --> 00:15:57.040
even though their sins
00:15:57.040 --> 00:15:57.270
vexed him.
00:15:57.270 --> 00:15:59.020
He would not put any distance
00:15:59.020 --> 00:16:00.130
between he and his family
00:16:00.130 --> 00:16:01.290
from inequity,
00:16:01.290 --> 00:16:03.080
and the Bible
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:04.010
said he lost his wife
00:16:04.010 --> 00:16:05.050
and she turned into
00:16:05.050 --> 00:16:06.070
a pillar of salt,
00:16:06.070 --> 00:16:07.010
lost his two children.
00:16:07.010 --> 00:16:07.230
He fell to horrible
00:16:07.230 --> 00:16:08.260
sexual immorality.
00:16:08.260 --> 00:16:10.220
All of that because a man
00:16:10.220 --> 00:16:12.050
was unfit.
00:16:12.050 --> 00:16:15.020
And I've been preachin'
00:16:15.020 --> 00:16:16.230
all of that to get to where I am
00:16:16.230 --> 00:16:18.110
right now.
00:16:18.150 --> 00:16:21.150
The tragedy
00:16:21.150 --> 00:16:22.150
and the truth is this.
00:16:22.150 --> 00:16:24.030
In the Old Testament,
00:16:24.030 --> 00:16:25.160
there was never a fit man
00:16:25.160 --> 00:16:27.080
who was strong enough
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:28.210
to keep that goat away
00:16:28.210 --> 00:16:29.280
from the camp.
00:16:29.280 --> 00:16:31.100
Every year it would come back,
00:16:31.110 --> 00:16:34.110
or they would have to do it
00:16:34.110 --> 00:16:35.180
all over again.
00:16:35.180 --> 00:16:37.100
They could never
00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:37.280
completely remove it.
00:16:37.280 --> 00:16:39.110
All they would do is go through
00:16:39.110 --> 00:16:40.160
the routine again,
00:16:40.160 --> 00:16:42.040
and it would come back,
00:16:42.040 --> 00:16:43.060
and they would send it out,
00:16:43.060 --> 00:16:44.180
and it would come back,
00:16:44.180 --> 00:16:46.070
and they would
00:16:46.070 --> 00:16:47.010
send it out...once a year,
00:16:47.010 --> 00:16:48.160
once a year, once a year.
00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:50.170
But something begins to happen.
00:16:51.220 --> 00:16:54.220
The Old Testament is a shadow
00:16:54.220 --> 00:16:56.040
of better things to come,
00:16:56.040 --> 00:16:57.160
and just as they were searching
00:16:57.160 --> 00:16:59.090
for a fit man,
00:16:59.090 --> 00:17:00.130
God the Father sat on the throne
00:17:00.130 --> 00:17:02.200
and He looked down,
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:03.220
and He said the priests
00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:05.060
can't fix it,
00:17:05.060 --> 00:17:05.260
the blood of goats
00:17:05.260 --> 00:17:06.210
and lambs can't fix it.
00:17:06.210 --> 00:17:08.110
Hebrews said the blood
00:17:08.110 --> 00:17:09.160
of goats and lambs,
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.030
it's not possible
00:17:11.030 --> 00:17:12.060
that it can take away the sins
00:17:12.060 --> 00:17:13.060
of the people.
00:17:13.060 --> 00:17:14.150
I need me a fit man.
00:17:14.150 --> 00:17:16.090
Wonder, can I find an angel
00:17:16.090 --> 00:17:17.270
that's worthy?
00:17:17.270 --> 00:17:18.240
Can He find an angel?
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.270
Can I find Abraham?
00:17:19.270 --> 00:17:21.060
No, he lied.
00:17:21.060 --> 00:17:22.010
Can I find David?
00:17:22.010 --> 00:17:23.010
No, he was an adulterer.
00:17:23.010 --> 00:17:24.130
Is there anybody
00:17:24.130 --> 00:17:26.090
in heaven worthy?
00:17:26.090 --> 00:17:27.200
Is there any fit men?
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:29.170
Then, Jeremiah
00:17:29.170 --> 00:17:30.080
takes the telescope of prophecy
00:17:30.080 --> 00:17:31.290
and looks down,
00:17:31.290 --> 00:17:32.290
and he gives a prophecy.
00:17:32.290 --> 00:17:34.100
He says, I see somethin' comin'
00:17:34.100 --> 00:17:35.240
on the earth, and in those days,
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.140
sin shall be sought for
00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:38.200
but not found.
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:40.240
He said, there's coming a day.
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.160
There's coming a day
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:43.270
when their sins
00:17:43.270 --> 00:17:45.100
will be taken so far away
00:17:45.100 --> 00:17:46.230
that it won't keep coming back,
00:17:46.230 --> 00:17:48.090
and coming back,
00:17:48.090 --> 00:17:49.230
and cursin' and cursin',
00:17:49.230 --> 00:17:51.110
but there will be a fit man
00:17:51.110 --> 00:17:53.060
who will show up on planet Earth
00:17:53.060 --> 00:17:55.290
and he will forever remove.
00:17:55.290 --> 00:17:58.290
David got an insight
00:17:58.290 --> 00:18:00.200
and he said,
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:02.050
let me tell you what
00:18:02.050 --> 00:18:02.250
this fit man comin' is gonna do.
00:18:02.250 --> 00:18:04.200
He said, as far as the east
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.000
is from the west,
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:08.060
so far has He removed
00:18:08.060 --> 00:18:09.290
our transgressions from us.
00:18:09.290 --> 00:18:12.210
If he'd have said North Pole
00:18:12.210 --> 00:18:13.260
to South Pole,
00:18:13.260 --> 00:18:15.000
you could measure that,
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:16.020
but he said east to west.
00:18:16.020 --> 00:18:17.140
There's no measuring that.
00:18:17.140 --> 00:18:19.000
And he said,
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:20.150
there's somebody comin'.
00:18:20.150 --> 00:18:22.110
I don't know His name,
00:18:22.110 --> 00:18:23.030
I don't know who He is,
00:18:23.030 --> 00:18:24.220
but there's gonna be such
00:18:24.220 --> 00:18:25.270
a fit man that He's not just
00:18:25.270 --> 00:18:27.030
gonna forgive the sin
00:18:27.030 --> 00:18:28.180
by His death and by His blood,
00:18:28.180 --> 00:18:30.100
but He's gonna, by His life,
00:18:30.100 --> 00:18:32.170
His resurrection,
00:18:32.170 --> 00:18:33.210
take the sin away,
00:18:33.210 --> 00:18:36.010
and though men might
00:18:36.010 --> 00:18:37.100
seek for it,
00:18:37.100 --> 00:18:38.160
it will never be found again!
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.000
Guess who I'm preaching about?
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:42.220
I'm preaching about your Jesus!
00:18:44.210 --> 00:18:47.210
He's gonna be fit,
00:18:47.210 --> 00:18:49.060
and here's the title
00:18:49.060 --> 00:18:49.280
of that little sermon.
00:18:49.280 --> 00:18:51.020
I've been so excited
00:18:51.020 --> 00:18:51.260
to give you this title -
00:18:51.260 --> 00:18:52.190
"He's Cross Fit!"
00:18:55.090 --> 00:18:58.090
Oh, get happy over that,
00:18:58.090 --> 00:18:59.040
you know you...
00:19:07.120 --> 00:19:10.120
That's my Jesus!
00:19:10.120 --> 00:19:12.260
His name shall be called Jesus,
00:19:12.260 --> 00:19:15.210
for He shall save His people
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.240
from their sin -
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:20.150
the penalty of sin,
00:19:20.150 --> 00:19:21.250
the bondage of sin,
00:19:21.250 --> 00:19:23.030
the addiction of sin!
00:19:23.030 --> 00:19:24.260
He'll give 'em
00:19:24.260 --> 00:19:25.280
the release of sin!
00:19:25.280 --> 00:19:26.290
They'll be new creations!
00:19:26.290 --> 00:19:28.240
The old things have passed away!
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:31.090
That's gone!
00:19:31.090 --> 00:19:32.260
The old me is over,
00:19:32.260 --> 00:19:35.160
and I am a new creation
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:37.030
because Jesus made me
00:19:37.030 --> 00:19:38.130
cross fit!
00:19:38.130 --> 00:19:40.100
I got the fit man in me,
00:19:40.100 --> 00:19:42.050
and He makes me fit enough
00:19:42.050 --> 00:19:44.280
to say no to the wrong
00:19:44.280 --> 00:19:46.060
and yes to the right.
00:19:46.060 --> 00:19:48.000
Give God a big praise
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:49.060
if you believe it!
00:19:55.270 --> 00:19:58.270
It took two goats
00:19:58.270 --> 00:19:59.270
in the Old Testament,
00:19:59.270 --> 00:20:01.050
but it only took one Lamb
00:20:01.050 --> 00:20:03.100
in the New Testament.
00:20:03.100 --> 00:20:05.030
John the Baptist said,
00:20:05.030 --> 00:20:05.290
"Behold, the Lamb of God
00:20:05.290 --> 00:20:08.080
that takes away the sins
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.200
of the world."
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:12.200
I'm preaching today
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:14.220
a radical gospel.
00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:17.090
I'm telling you that when
00:20:17.090 --> 00:20:18.010
you truly get cross fit,
00:20:18.010 --> 00:20:20.200
you're not satisfied to just ask
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:21.270
for forgiveness
00:20:21.270 --> 00:20:23.030
and let the thing come back,
00:20:23.030 --> 00:20:24.170
and come back, and come back,
00:20:24.170 --> 00:20:26.030
but there is something in you,
00:20:26.030 --> 00:20:27.280
when the fit man fills you
00:20:27.280 --> 00:20:29.010
with His glory
00:20:29.010 --> 00:20:30.180
and with His power,
00:20:30.180 --> 00:20:32.000
it says I want you,
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.190
Holy Spirit,
00:20:33.190 --> 00:20:34.160
to take this out of me -
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:35.180
take this addiction out of me,
00:20:35.180 --> 00:20:37.090
take this fear out of me,
00:20:37.090 --> 00:20:39.120
take this torment out of me,
00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:41.040
take this suicide spirit
00:20:41.040 --> 00:20:42.150
out of me,
00:20:42.150 --> 00:20:43.260
and take it away
00:20:43.260 --> 00:20:45.100
and I don't ever want it
00:20:45.100 --> 00:20:46.100
to find me again.
00:20:46.100 --> 00:20:48.150
And Jesus, you'll never be
00:20:48.150 --> 00:20:49.270
fit enough with willpower.
00:20:50.030 --> 00:20:53.030
You'll never be strong enough.
00:20:53.070 --> 00:20:56.070
Well, I'm gonna try
00:20:56.070 --> 00:20:57.060
to be a good person again.
00:20:57.060 --> 00:20:58.130
You gotta get...you
00:20:58.130 --> 00:20:59.200
must be born again.
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:02.150
You gotta get the fit man
00:21:02.150 --> 00:21:03.080
in you!
00:21:03.170 --> 00:21:06.170
Then He'll change you
00:21:06.170 --> 00:21:07.180
on the inside.
00:21:12.110 --> 00:21:15.110
There's a king in the Bible
00:21:15.290 --> 00:21:18.290
by the name of Ahaz,
00:21:18.290 --> 00:21:20.130
and his father,
00:21:20.130 --> 00:21:22.030
and his father's father...
00:21:22.030 --> 00:21:23.020
wicked, wicked, wicked,
00:21:23.020 --> 00:21:24.070
wicked, wicked.
00:21:24.070 --> 00:21:26.010
The Bible said that they caused
00:21:26.010 --> 00:21:27.100
their children to pass through
00:21:27.100 --> 00:21:29.130
the fire.
00:21:29.130 --> 00:21:32.010
They burned children
00:21:32.010 --> 00:21:33.010
to demon gods
00:21:33.010 --> 00:21:33.280
as human sacrifices.
00:21:34.220 --> 00:21:37.220
And Ahaz, who was
00:21:37.220 --> 00:21:39.280
a child sacrifice
00:21:39.280 --> 00:21:41.210
idol worshipper,
00:21:41.210 --> 00:21:43.120
had a boy named Hezekiah,
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:47.240
and Hezekiah had an encounter
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:50.130
with his God.
00:21:50.130 --> 00:21:52.260
And, just because your father
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.240
was not a fit man,
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.180
or your grandfather,
00:21:58.180 --> 00:22:01.040
or your mother,
00:22:01.040 --> 00:22:02.250
or your grandmother...
00:22:02.250 --> 00:22:04.100
just because
00:22:04.100 --> 00:22:05.000
they never did right,
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:06.050
here's the beauty of this thing.
00:22:06.050 --> 00:22:08.030
Hezekiah was raised in a family
00:22:08.030 --> 00:22:10.130
of demon worshippers,
00:22:10.130 --> 00:22:11.280
witchcraft, sorcery,
00:22:11.280 --> 00:22:13.230
offering children's blood
00:22:13.230 --> 00:22:15.180
as sacrifice to demon gods.
00:22:15.180 --> 00:22:18.050
But Hezekiah said,
00:22:18.050 --> 00:22:19.200
just because they weren't fit
00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:21.050
doesn't mean I can't be fit.
00:22:21.130 --> 00:22:24.130
Just because they couldn't hold
00:22:24.130 --> 00:22:25.140
their marriages together,
00:22:25.140 --> 00:22:27.020
and all they had was addiction,
00:22:27.020 --> 00:22:28.030
and prison, and bondage,
00:22:28.030 --> 00:22:30.020
and debt, and nobody wins,
00:22:30.020 --> 00:22:32.110
and nobody's happy.
00:22:32.110 --> 00:22:34.220
and...I am not under the curse!
00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:37.180
I am under the blessing,
00:22:37.180 --> 00:22:39.200
and a blessing starts here
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:41.220
and now because I'm cross fit!
00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:44.060
I surrender to Jesus!
00:22:44.060 --> 00:22:45.290
I take up my cross and He says,
00:22:45.290 --> 00:22:47.150
I'll bless you and the curse
00:22:47.150 --> 00:22:50.030
can't come back to your house!
00:22:50.150 --> 00:22:53.150
Those goats are gone forever!
00:22:53.150 --> 00:22:56.070
Shout now if you believe
00:22:56.070 --> 00:22:58.010
- In our closing moments
00:23:09.110 --> 00:23:10.130
of this program,
00:23:10.130 --> 00:23:11.190
I wanna share with you
00:23:11.190 --> 00:23:12.230
a humbling opportunity
00:23:12.230 --> 00:23:15.060
that we have to bless
00:23:15.060 --> 00:23:16.240
God's chosen people,
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:18.120
and God's chosen land;
00:23:18.120 --> 00:23:20.030
the Nation of Israel.
00:23:20.030 --> 00:23:22.140
Recently, I travelled there
00:23:22.140 --> 00:23:24.040
and visited a community
00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:25.220
about 20 minutes
00:23:25.220 --> 00:23:27.060
outside of Jerusalem,
00:23:27.060 --> 00:23:29.030
that had been completely
00:23:29.030 --> 00:23:30.150
destroyed by terrorists.
00:23:30.150 --> 00:23:32.060
Hundreds of families
00:23:32.060 --> 00:23:33.150
were devastated
00:23:33.150 --> 00:23:35.040
as their lives were
00:23:35.040 --> 00:23:36.060
burned to the ground.
00:23:36.060 --> 00:23:37.190
Thankfully, miraculously,
00:23:37.190 --> 00:23:39.200
not one person lost their life,
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:42.050
but I believe that we are
00:23:42.050 --> 00:23:43.050
living in prophetic times.
00:23:43.050 --> 00:23:45.260
We can be a part of
00:23:45.260 --> 00:23:47.180
fulfilling Biblical prophecy,
00:23:47.180 --> 00:23:50.090
found in Isaiah 61;
00:23:50.090 --> 00:23:52.200
God promised that,
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:54.040
for their ashes,
00:23:54.040 --> 00:23:55.280
He would give them beauty.
00:23:56.060 --> 00:23:59.060
He's going to use
00:23:59.060 --> 00:24:00.170
you and I to do it.
00:24:00.170 --> 00:24:02.080
Together, we're gonna provide
00:24:02.080 --> 00:24:04.010
the resources -- I love this.
00:24:04.010 --> 00:24:06.070
Listen to this:
00:24:06.070 --> 00:24:07.090
to plant trees of victory.
00:24:07.090 --> 00:24:09.170
You know that
00:24:09.170 --> 00:24:10.010
it actually said that?
00:24:10.010 --> 00:24:11.030
It said, in Isaiah 61,
00:24:11.030 --> 00:24:13.050
"There would be trees of victory
00:24:13.050 --> 00:24:15.240
to rebuild the ruined cities,
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:18.180
to declare that no one
00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:20.210
will ever be able
00:24:20.210 --> 00:24:22.210
to take the land of Israel away
00:24:22.210 --> 00:24:24.270
from the Jewish people again."
00:24:24.270 --> 00:24:27.120
Will you help me replant
00:24:27.120 --> 00:24:29.060
the trees of victory?
00:24:29.060 --> 00:24:30.280
Sometimes, God does require
00:24:30.280 --> 00:24:32.250
of us to go extra,
00:24:32.250 --> 00:24:35.060
to do something
00:24:35.060 --> 00:24:36.020
we've never done,
00:24:36.020 --> 00:24:37.120
if you wanna get a harvest
00:24:37.120 --> 00:24:39.040
you've never had.
00:24:39.040 --> 00:24:40.160
Whatever you can do,
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:41.280
do the very best
00:24:41.280 --> 00:24:43.030
that you can do.
00:24:43.030 --> 00:24:44.120
And, today, what you make happen
00:24:44.120 --> 00:24:46.150
for Israel in fulfilling
00:24:46.150 --> 00:24:47.260
Isaiah 61 --
00:24:47.260 --> 00:24:49.110
Think of it:
00:24:49.110 --> 00:24:50.050
we're rebuilding, replanting,
00:24:50.110 --> 00:24:53.110
and restoring
00:24:53.110 --> 00:24:54.290
a whole community in Israel;
00:24:55.030 --> 00:24:58.030
you and I, together.
00:24:58.030 --> 00:24:59.270
Will you join me?
00:24:59.270 --> 00:25:00.280
Don't delay.
00:25:00.280 --> 00:25:01.260
Here's my announcer to share
00:25:01.260 --> 00:25:03.080
how you can be a part
00:25:03.080 --> 00:25:04.290
of this incredible
00:25:04.290 --> 00:25:06.010
miracle and opportunity
00:25:06.010 --> 00:25:07.240
to bless the nation
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:09.070
- ANNOUNCER: Terrorism
00:25:12.080 --> 00:25:12.240
in Israel is not just a threat;
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:14.240
it's a reality.
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:16.030
Today, hundreds of thousands
00:25:16.030 --> 00:25:17.110
of Jewish families and children
00:25:17.110 --> 00:25:18.280
We can help fulfill
00:25:23.150 --> 00:25:24.140
Biblical prophecy
00:25:24.140 --> 00:25:25.200
and see God's favor
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:26.230
released in our lives,
00:25:26.230 --> 00:25:28.070
when we honor His command to,
00:25:28.070 --> 00:25:29.120
"Comfort My people".
00:25:29.120 --> 00:25:30.290
Isaiah 61:3 declares that
00:25:30.290 --> 00:25:32.170
God will give beauty for ashes
00:25:32.170 --> 00:25:34.100
in cities that've been
00:25:34.100 --> 00:25:35.080
terrorized, like
00:25:35.080 --> 00:25:36.070
Moshav Mevo Modi'in.
00:25:36.070 --> 00:25:37.200
