I WILL LIFT MY EYES
00:00:06.060 --> 00:00:07.210
TO THINGS UNSEEN,
00:00:07.250 --> 00:00:10.250
TO THE PROMISE IN
00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:13.280
YOUR VICTORY,
00:00:14.230 --> 00:00:17.230
- DAWNCHERÉ WILKERSON: YOUR
00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:22.100
CIRCUMSTANCE MAY SAY THAT YOU
00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:24.170
HAVE A BROKEN HEART, BUT THE
00:00:24.170 --> 00:00:25.190
CONTEXT THAT YOU WALK IN SAID
00:00:25.190 --> 00:00:26.260
YOU CAN TAKE THE BROKEN PIECES
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.100
OF YOUR LIFE AND MEND THEM
00:00:31.100 --> 00:00:32.120
TOGETHER.
00:00:32.190 --> 00:00:35.190
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
00:00:35.190 --> 00:00:36.260
[MUSIC]
00:00:36.260 --> 00:00:37.270
- ERWIN MCMANUS: GOD WANTS US
00:00:37.270 --> 00:00:38.250
TO BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE IN THE
00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:40.180
UNCERTAINTY, IN THE UNKNOWN, IN
00:00:40.180 --> 00:00:42.090
THE MYSTERY, AND REFLECT TO ALL
00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:43.280
OF HUMANITY THAT WE DO NOT NEED
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.270
-- WHERE YOU CALL ME,
00:00:49.170 --> 00:00:50.100
AND I WILL GO
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.280
- ERWIN: HEY, GUYS, THIS IS
00:00:57.270 --> 00:00:58.170
ERWIN MCMANUS IN MOSAIC
00:00:58.170 --> 00:00:59.050
"INTO THE UNKNOWN," AND I HAVE
00:01:01.110 --> 00:01:02.080
WITH ME DC WILKERSON.
00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:03.200
DAWNCHERÉ, IT IS SO AWESOME TO
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:04.220
HAVE YOU HERE WITH US.
00:01:04.220 --> 00:01:05.260
- DAWNCHERÉ: OH, MOSAIC
00:01:05.260 --> 00:01:06.250
CONFERENCE HAS BEEN
00:01:06.250 --> 00:01:08.060
UNBELIEVABLE.
00:01:08.060 --> 00:01:08.190
I'VE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
00:01:08.190 --> 00:01:10.030
THANK YOU FOR HAVIN' ME.
00:01:10.030 --> 00:01:11.180
- ERWIN: WHAT WERE SOME OF THE
00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:12.100
THINGS THAT INFORMED YOUR
00:01:12.100 --> 00:01:13.060
MESSAGE FOR US HERE AT THE
00:01:13.060 --> 00:01:14.260
MOSAIC CONFERENCE?
00:01:14.260 --> 00:01:16.000
I FEEL LIKE, ALL OF US, NO
00:01:17.230 --> 00:01:18.240
MATTER WHAT SEASON OF LIFE WE'RE
00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:20.110
IN, THERE ARE REAL QUESTIONS IN
00:01:20.110 --> 00:01:21.230
LIFE, AND FEAR IS A CHAMELEON
00:01:21.230 --> 00:01:24.160
THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU OVERCOME
00:01:24.160 --> 00:01:26.250
IT IN ONE SEASON, AND IT POPS
00:01:26.250 --> 00:01:28.050
ITS HEAD UP IN A NEW DISGUISE IN
00:01:28.050 --> 00:01:29.190
THE NEXT, AND SO, FOR ME, AS I
00:01:29.210 --> 00:01:32.210
WAS THINKING ABOUT "INTO THE
00:01:32.210 --> 00:01:34.040
UNKNOWN," YOU KNOW, ALL OF US,
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:35.000
WE CAN BE PARALYZED BY FEAR.
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:36.270
I KNOW, IN MY LIFE, I HAVE
00:01:36.270 --> 00:01:37.280
EXPERIENCED REAL FEAR THAT MADE
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.240
ME NOT WALK THROUGH THE DOORS
00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:41.120
THAT GOD OPENED.
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.020
BUT GOD GIVES US THE ABILITY TO
00:01:45.260 --> 00:01:46.180
PICK UP COURAGE, AND I THINK
00:01:46.180 --> 00:01:48.010
THAT, MORE THAN ANYTHING, I JUST
00:01:48.010 --> 00:01:49.180
WANNA ENCOURAGE PEOPLE EVERY
00:01:49.180 --> 00:01:51.170
TIME, YOU KNOW, "YOU CAN DO
00:01:51.170 --> 00:01:52.090
THIS.
00:01:52.090 --> 00:01:53.000
GOD'S WITH YOU.
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:54.000
YOU GOT ALL OF HEAVEN BEHIND
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.050
YOU."
00:01:55.050 --> 00:01:56.150
AND SO I HOPE PEOPLE FELT
00:01:56.150 --> 00:01:57.080
THE LOVE OF GOD TODAY BECAUSE
00:01:57.080 --> 00:01:58.280
THAT'S ALL WE NEED TO WALK OUT
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.010
OUR GOD-GIVEN PURPOSE.
00:02:01.010 --> 00:02:03.040
- ERWIN: SO SOMEONE'S LISTENING
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:03.260
RIGHT NOW.
00:02:03.260 --> 00:02:05.050
THEY JUST HAD SOME REALLY HUGE
00:02:05.050 --> 00:02:05.260
DISAPPOINTMENTS OR JUST CARRYING
00:02:05.260 --> 00:02:07.170
SOME REAL DEEP PAIN IN THEIR
00:02:07.170 --> 00:02:08.120
LIFE.
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:08.280
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THEM?
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.240
- DAWNCHERÉ: I WOULD TELL THEM
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.010
TO HOLD ON AND TO KNOW THAT GOD
00:02:12.010 --> 00:02:13.250
HASN'T LEFT THEM.
00:02:13.250 --> 00:02:15.210
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A SCRIPTURE
00:02:15.210 --> 00:02:16.230
THAT SAYS THAT GOD WILL NEVER
00:02:16.230 --> 00:02:18.060
FORSAKE YOU, AND WE DON'T REALLY
00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:19.290
USE THE WORD "FORSAKE" A LOT,
00:02:19.290 --> 00:02:22.120
BUT IT JUST MEANS HE WON'T
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:23.200
ABANDON US, AND A LOT OF US HAVE
00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:25.110
EXPERIENCED ABANDONMENT, AND I
00:02:25.110 --> 00:02:27.050
THINK, IN THE WAIT, SOMETIMES
00:02:27.050 --> 00:02:30.010
THE ENEMY CAN JUST HIT US UP
00:02:30.010 --> 00:02:31.160
WITH LIES, MAKE US FEEL
00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:32.270
OVERWHELMED, LIKE GOD DOESN'T
00:02:32.270 --> 00:02:34.040
SEE US ANYMORE, AND, LIKE, THE
00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:36.010
PROMISES THAT HAVE HAPPENED FOR
00:02:36.010 --> 00:02:37.160
EVERYONE ELSE AROUND US, THAT
00:02:37.160 --> 00:02:39.240
THEY JUST AREN'T REALITY FOR OUR
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:40.290
LIVES, AND I THINK IF WE'LL JUST
00:02:40.290 --> 00:02:42.160
HOLD ON IN THE WAIT, WE'LL
00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:43.240
REALIZE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO BE
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.140
AT A PAUSE.
00:02:45.140 --> 00:02:47.250
ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCRIPTURES IS
00:02:47.250 --> 00:02:49.130
IT SAYS, "THEY THAT WAIT ON THE
00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:52.100
LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR
00:02:52.100 --> 00:02:52.280
STRENGTH."
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.000
"THEY'LL RUN, AND NOT GROW
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:54.190
WEARY.
00:02:54.190 --> 00:02:54.280
THEY'LL WALK, AND NOT FAINT."
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:55.230
AND SO I'D SAY TO THE PERSON
00:02:55.230 --> 00:02:56.170
WHO'S WAITING, YOU KNOW, GOD IS
00:02:56.170 --> 00:02:58.020
HE'S CREATING, EVEN THOUGH YOU
00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:03.010
CAN'T SEE IT, AND AS YOU LOOK
00:03:03.010 --> 00:03:04.230
BACK, "HINDSIGHT IS 20/20."
00:03:04.230 --> 00:03:06.050
YOU'RE GONNA SEE THE BEAUTIFUL
00:03:06.050 --> 00:03:07.230
MASTERPIECE THAT GOD'S CREATED
00:03:07.230 --> 00:03:08.240
WHILE YOU WAITED.
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:09.190
STICK IN IT.
00:03:09.190 --> 00:03:10.150
DON'T GIVE UP.
00:03:10.150 --> 00:03:11.250
AND THE LAST THING I WOULD SAY
00:03:11.250 --> 00:03:12.230
IS STAY IN COMMUNITY, OKAY,
00:03:12.230 --> 00:03:14.020
BECAUSE MOST OF US WALK AWAY
00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:16.240
BECAUSE WE ISOLATE OURSELVES--
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.260
- ERWIN: THAT'S SO TRUE.
00:03:18.260 --> 00:03:20.070
- DAWNCHERÉ: -- AND THEN WE GET
00:03:20.070 --> 00:03:21.010
LOST, AND GOD GAVE US THE GIFT
00:03:21.010 --> 00:03:23.070
AND CHURCH ISN'T PERFECT.
00:03:25.170 --> 00:03:26.080
IT'S MESSY, BUT THANK GOD FOR IT
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.030
AND WE CAN GET THROUGH ANYTHING
00:03:30.220 --> 00:03:31.140
TOGETHER.
00:03:31.140 --> 00:03:32.150
- ERWIN: WOW, THAT'S SO, SO
00:03:32.150 --> 00:03:33.050
GOOD.
00:03:33.050 --> 00:03:34.050
DC, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
00:03:34.050 --> 00:03:35.010
HERE WITH US.
00:03:35.010 --> 00:03:35.180
- DAWNCHERÉ: THANK YOU.
00:03:35.180 --> 00:03:36.080
- ERWIN: YOU ARE A REAL GIFT TO
00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:38.100
THE WORLD, AND I JUST HOPE YOUNG
00:03:38.100 --> 00:03:39.090
WOMEN EVERYWHERE REALIZE THAT
00:03:39.090 --> 00:03:40.260
GOD CALLS THEM TO DO GREAT AND
00:03:40.260 --> 00:03:42.230
POWERFUL THINGS, THAT GOD CALLS
00:03:42.230 --> 00:03:44.150
WOMEN INTO LEADERSHIP.
00:03:44.150 --> 00:03:46.040
GOD CALLS THEM TO DECLARE HIS
00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:47.120
MESSAGE.
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:48.230
GOD MAKES 'EM BRILLIANT AND
00:03:48.230 --> 00:03:50.050
GIFTED AND POWERFUL, AND YOU ARE
00:03:50.050 --> 00:03:51.220
A GREAT-- NOT ONLY
00:03:51.220 --> 00:03:53.290
BUT YOU ARE JUST A GREAT
00:03:56.150 --> 00:03:57.030
REMINDER OF WHAT GOD WANTS TO DO
00:03:57.030 --> 00:03:58.180
WITH AMAZING WOMEN ALL OVER THE
00:03:58.180 --> 00:03:59.210
WORLD.
00:03:59.210 --> 00:04:00.230
- DAWNCHERÉ: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:04:00.230 --> 00:04:01.170
IT'S AN HONOR TO BE WITH YOU.
00:04:01.170 --> 00:04:02.080
- DAWNCHERÉ: I'VE GOT A WORD ON
00:04:05.130 --> 00:04:06.130
MY HEART TODAY, SO DO YOU HAVE
00:04:06.130 --> 00:04:07.230
YOUR BIBLES?
00:04:07.230 --> 00:04:08.250
IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES, TURN
00:04:08.250 --> 00:04:09.180
WITH ME TO 2 CORINTHIANS
00:04:09.180 --> 00:04:10.240
CHAPTER 3.
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.190
"ARE WE BEGINNING TO COMMEND
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.210
OURSELVES AGAIN?
00:04:19.210 --> 00:04:20.280
OR DO WE NEED, LIKE SOME PEOPLE,
00:04:20.280 --> 00:04:22.040
LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION TO YOU
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.070
OR FROM YOU?
00:04:24.070 --> 00:04:26.130
YOU YOURSELVES ARE OUR LETTER,
00:04:26.140 --> 00:04:29.140
WRITTEN ON OUR HEARTS, KNOWN AND
00:04:29.140 --> 00:04:32.120
READ BY EVERYONE.
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:33.210
YOU SHOW THAT YOU ARE A LETTER
00:04:33.210 --> 00:04:36.080
FROM CHRIST, THE RESULT OF OUR
00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:38.030
MINISTRY, WRITTEN NOT WITH INK
00:04:38.030 --> 00:04:39.200
BUT WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE
00:04:39.200 --> 00:04:42.010
LIVING GOD, NOT ON TABLETS OF
00:04:42.010 --> 00:04:43.270
STONE BUT ON TABLETS OF HUMAN
00:04:43.270 --> 00:04:46.250
HEARTS.
00:04:46.250 --> 00:04:48.020
SUCH CONFIDENCE WE HAVE THROUGH
00:04:48.020 --> 00:04:49.140
CHRIST BEFORE GOD.
00:04:49.140 --> 00:04:50.280
NOT THAT WE ARE COMPETENT IN
00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:52.210
OURSELVES TO CLAIM ANYTHING FOR
00:04:52.210 --> 00:04:55.050
OURSELVES, BUT OUR COMPETENCE
00:04:55.050 --> 00:04:57.070
COMES FROM GOD.
00:04:57.070 --> 00:04:59.110
HE'S MADE US COMPETENT AS
00:04:59.110 --> 00:05:01.010
MINISTERS OF A NEW COVENANT--
00:05:01.010 --> 00:05:02.210
NOT OF THE LETTER BUT OF THE
00:05:02.210 --> 00:05:04.080
SPIRIT, FOR THE LETTER KILLS,
00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:06.130
BUT THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE."
00:05:06.190 --> 00:05:09.190
AND I LOVE THE WAY THAT 2
00:05:09.190 --> 00:05:10.180
CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 3, VERSE 2,
00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:12.270
IN THE MESSAGE INTERPRETATION
00:05:12.270 --> 00:05:15.070
SAYS THIS:
00:05:15.070 --> 00:05:17.130
"YOUR VERY LIVES ARE A
00:05:17.130 --> 00:05:19.010
LETTER THAT ANYONE CAN READ
00:05:19.010 --> 00:05:21.110
JUST BY LOOKING AT YOU."
00:05:23.180 --> 00:05:26.180
I WANNA TALK TO YOU FOR THE NEXT
00:05:26.180 --> 00:05:27.100
FEW MOMENTS ON THIS THOUGHT:
00:05:27.100 --> 00:05:28.130
LOST LETTERS.
00:05:28.130 --> 00:05:30.000
WILL YOU PRAY WITH ME?
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.210
LORD, THANK YOU FOR EVERY LIFE
00:05:31.210 --> 00:05:32.120
IN THIS ROOM,
00:05:32.200 --> 00:05:35.200
EVERY AGE, EVERY BACKGROUND.
00:05:35.200 --> 00:05:36.210
EVERY STORY, YOU KNOW IT.
00:05:36.210 --> 00:05:37.120
YOU KNOW EVERY DETAIL.
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.290
GOD, RIGHT NOW, WE OPEN UP OUR
00:05:39.290 --> 00:05:41.190
HEARTS TO YOU.
00:05:41.190 --> 00:05:42.270
SPEAK TO US.
00:05:42.270 --> 00:05:45.080
CHANGE US LIKE ONLY YOU CAN.
00:05:45.080 --> 00:05:47.160
WE'VE SEARCHED EVERYWHERE ELSE,
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:48.200
BUT, GOD, ONLY YOU, ONLY YOU
00:05:48.200 --> 00:05:51.130
MEET US RIGHT WHERE WE ARE AND
00:05:51.130 --> 00:05:53.020
CHANGE EVERYTHING, SO, LORD, WE
00:05:53.020 --> 00:05:54.200
SURRENDER THIS MOMENT TO YOU,
00:05:54.200 --> 00:05:55.280
AND EVERYBODY SAID--
00:05:58.050 --> 00:05:59.260
- ALL: AMEN.
00:05:59.260 --> 00:06:01.130
- DAWNCHERÉ: YOU KNOW, I LOVE
00:06:01.130 --> 00:06:02.160
THE BIBLE BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS A
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.040
COLLECTION OF STORIES.
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.270
FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT TO THE
00:06:06.270 --> 00:06:08.080
NEW TESTAMENT, WE GET TO READ
00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:09.080
REAL STORIES OF MEN AND WOMEN,
00:06:09.080 --> 00:06:10.270
JUST LIKE YOU, JUST LIKE ME, WHO
00:06:10.270 --> 00:06:12.220
HAD AN ENCOUNTER WITH AN
00:06:12.220 --> 00:06:14.050
EXTRAORDINARY GOD, AND, YOU
00:06:14.050 --> 00:06:16.010
KNOW, AS WE GET INTO THE NEW
00:06:16.010 --> 00:06:18.200
TESTAMENT, WE BEGIN TO READ THE
00:06:18.200 --> 00:06:20.120
EPISTLES THAT THE FOLLOWERS OF
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.240
JESUS RECORDED FOR US SO THAT WE
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.180
CAN UNDERSTAND THE CHARACTER OF
00:06:25.180 --> 00:06:28.130
THE GOD THAT WE SERVE AND THE
00:06:28.130 --> 00:06:30.140
GOD THAT WE LOVE.
00:06:30.140 --> 00:06:33.060
YOU SEE, THE BIBLE IS GOD'S
00:06:33.060 --> 00:06:34.150
LETTER TO US, BUT YOUR LIFE,
00:06:34.150 --> 00:06:36.260
YOUR LIFE IS A LETTER TO THE
00:06:36.260 --> 00:06:38.170
WORLD.
00:06:38.170 --> 00:06:40.220
YOUR LIFE IS A LETTER TO THE
00:06:40.220 --> 00:06:41.290
WORLD THAT, LIKE 2 CORINTHIANS
00:06:41.290 --> 00:06:43.120
SAYS, THAT ANYONE CAN READ
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.030
SIMPLY BY LOOKING AT YOU, AND AS
00:06:46.030 --> 00:06:48.260
FOLLOWERS OF JESUS, EVERY ONE OF
00:06:48.260 --> 00:06:50.270
US, WE SEEK TO INTERPRET THE
00:06:50.270 --> 00:06:53.170
CHARACTER OF GOD THROUGH THE
00:06:53.170 --> 00:06:54.250
LETTER OF OUR LIFE.
00:06:54.250 --> 00:06:56.250
YOU KNOW, THE LETTER OF YOUR
00:06:56.250 --> 00:06:57.280
LIFE ISN'T THE SAME AS THE
00:06:57.280 --> 00:06:59.110
PERSON YOU SIT NEXT TO.
00:06:59.110 --> 00:07:00.150
IN FACT, THE LETTER OF YOUR
00:07:00.150 --> 00:07:01.270
LIFE, IT'S DIFFERENT FROM ANY
00:07:01.270 --> 00:07:03.270
OTHER LETTER IN ALL OF HISTORY,
00:07:03.270 --> 00:07:05.120
YET IT WAS CREATED TO REFLECT
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.090
THE MAJESTY AND THE BEAUTY AND
00:07:08.090 --> 00:07:10.010
THE PHENOMENAL POWER THAT IS
00:07:10.010 --> 00:07:12.200
WITHIN THE CHARACTER OF OUR
00:07:12.200 --> 00:07:13.200
CREATOR.
00:07:13.200 --> 00:07:15.140
EVERY ONE OF YOU, YOU REFLECT
00:07:15.200 --> 00:07:18.200
THE CHARACTER OF OUR CREATOR IN
00:07:18.200 --> 00:07:19.260
A DIFFERENT WAY, WHETHER IT'S
00:07:19.260 --> 00:07:21.030
THROUGH THE EDUCATION AS YOU
00:07:21.030 --> 00:07:22.160
STUDY TO STRETCH YOURSELF TO
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.020
GROW TO USE THE MIND THAT GOD
00:07:25.020 --> 00:07:27.100
GAVE YOU, WHETHER IT'S IN
00:07:27.100 --> 00:07:29.100
SPORTS, TO SHOW THAT, AS A TEAM,
00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:31.050
WE GET MORE THINGS DONE, BUT IN
00:07:31.050 --> 00:07:32.290
THE WINS AND IN THE LOSSES, WE
00:07:32.290 --> 00:07:34.190
CAN STILL STICK TOGETHER IN
00:07:34.190 --> 00:07:36.050
UNITY, WHETHER IT'S THE WAY YOU
00:07:36.050 --> 00:07:38.010
LEAD AND LOVE YOUR FAMILY IN THE
00:07:38.010 --> 00:07:39.260
TOUGH TIMES AND IN THE GOOD
00:07:39.260 --> 00:07:41.290
TIMES.
00:07:41.290 --> 00:07:43.080
YOUR UNCONDITIONAL LOVE REFLECTS
00:07:43.080 --> 00:07:45.000
A FACET OF A CHARACTER OF GOD.
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.120
YOU REFLECT GOD'S JUSTICE.
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.070
YOU REFLECT GOD'S COMPASSION.
00:07:50.070 --> 00:07:52.250
YOU REFLECT GOD'S MERCY.
00:07:53.050 --> 00:07:56.050
YOU WERE CREATED TO REFLECT IN
00:07:56.050 --> 00:07:58.160
YOUR ORDINARY, EVERYDAY LIVES
00:07:58.200 --> 00:08:01.220
THE VERY CHARACTER OF OUR GOD.
00:08:01.220 --> 00:08:04.200
HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW, FAR MORE
00:08:05.150 --> 00:08:08.150
IMPORTANT THAN THE TASK IS THE
00:08:08.150 --> 00:08:11.000
IT'S WHERE YOUR HEART STANDS
00:08:13.230 --> 00:08:16.020
TODAY, NOT THE CLOTHES YOU HAVE
00:08:16.020 --> 00:08:17.190
ON, NOT WHAT YOUR TITLE IS AT
00:08:17.190 --> 00:08:19.160
WORK, NOT WHAT YOUR GREATEST
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.000
ACCOMPLISHMENT OR WORST FAILURE
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.000
IS IN LIFE, BUT THE STATE OF
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.220
YOUR HEART IS WHAT GOD IS VERY
00:08:25.220 --> 00:08:26.200
CONCERNED WITH ON THIS BEAUTIFUL
00:08:26.200 --> 00:08:27.290
MORNING.
00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:31.060
WHAT PEOPLE SEE IS AN OUTWORKING
00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:34.030
OF WHAT GOD IS DOING IN YOUR
00:08:34.030 --> 00:08:35.120
AND HEAR ME, WHO YOU ARE IS FAR
00:08:37.070 --> 00:08:38.030
MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT YOU DO,
00:08:38.030 --> 00:08:39.090
AND THE TRUE CREATIVE PROCESS IS
00:08:39.210 --> 00:08:42.210
WHAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS
00:08:42.210 --> 00:08:44.110
CREATING WITHIN YOUR HEART
00:08:44.110 --> 00:08:45.220
TODAY.
00:08:45.220 --> 00:08:48.130
IT'S NOT WHAT EVERYONE AROUND
00:08:48.130 --> 00:08:49.150
YOU SEES THAT YOUR LIFE IS
00:08:49.150 --> 00:08:51.050
BECOMING, BUT IT'S WHAT THE
00:08:51.050 --> 00:08:52.290
SPIRIT OF GOD IS SUPERNATURALLY
00:08:52.290 --> 00:08:55.140
CREATING AT THIS MOMENT WITHIN
00:08:55.140 --> 00:08:57.240
YOUR HEART OF HEARTS.
00:08:58.140 --> 00:09:01.160
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE CREATIVE
00:09:01.160 --> 00:09:02.110
PROCESS THAT TAKES PLACE WITHIN
00:09:02.110 --> 00:09:04.150
A HEART THAT IS COMPLETELY LOST,
00:09:04.150 --> 00:09:06.030
ISOLATED, AND BROKEN, AND
00:09:06.030 --> 00:09:08.220
SUDDENLY FINDS WHOLENESS IN THE
00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:11.040
PRESENCE OF GOD?
00:09:11.190 --> 00:09:14.190
WHAT KIND OF EXPLOSIONS OF COLOR
00:09:14.190 --> 00:09:16.060
TAKES PLACE WITHIN A HEART IN
00:09:16.060 --> 00:09:17.060
THAT MOMENT?
00:09:17.060 --> 00:09:19.150
WHAT KIND OF BEAUTY, WHAT KIND
00:09:19.150 --> 00:09:21.240
OF CREATIVITY, WHAT KIND OF LIFE
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:23.080
EXPLODES WHEN A LIFE THAT WAS
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.000
BROKEN IS SUDDENLY HEALED IN THE
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:27.260
PRESENCE OF GOD, WHEN THE LIFE
00:09:27.260 --> 00:09:29.250
THAT WAS ADDICTED SUDDENLY FINDS
00:09:29.250 --> 00:09:32.200
COMPLETE FREEDOM?
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:34.130
WHAT KIND OF CREATIVITY?
00:09:34.130 --> 00:09:37.010
SEE, THIS IS THE TRUE CREATIVE
00:09:37.010 --> 00:09:39.100
PROCESS, WHAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD
00:09:39.100 --> 00:09:42.090
IS DOING IN YOUR HEART.
00:09:42.090 --> 00:09:44.240
DO NOT NEGLECT MOMENTS LIKE
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:45.140
THIS.
00:09:45.140 --> 00:09:47.010
DO NOT PUSH THEM ASIDE BECAUSE
00:09:47.010 --> 00:09:48.230
GOD SEEKS TO DO WHAT ONLY HE CAN
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.240
DO WITHIN YOUR HEART AND TO
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:53.190
WRITE WHAT ONLY HE CAN WRITE
00:09:53.190 --> 00:09:55.170
'CAUSE, HEAR ME, GOD WILL ONLY
00:09:55.170 --> 00:09:58.090
WRITE UPON THAT WHICH IS
00:09:58.090 --> 00:09:59.210
SURRENDERED.
00:09:59.210 --> 00:10:02.070
HE WILL NOT FORCE THE LETTER
00:10:02.070 --> 00:10:04.050
THAT HE PENNED BEFORE YOUR LIFE
00:10:04.050 --> 00:10:05.210
BEGAN.
00:10:05.210 --> 00:10:07.010
HE WILL WAIT FOR YOU TO OPEN UP
00:10:07.010 --> 00:10:08.250
YOUR HEART AND SAY, "COME IN,
00:10:08.250 --> 00:10:11.050
WRITE THE STORY THAT I WAS
00:10:11.050 --> 00:10:14.030
CREATED TO WALK OUT."
00:10:14.190 --> 00:10:17.190
WHAT IS GOD DOING IN YOUR
00:10:17.190 --> 00:10:19.270
SPIRIT TODAY?
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:23.000
BECAUSE YOUR LIFE IS A LETTER
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:24.150
THAT ANYONE CAN READ JUST BY
00:10:24.220 --> 00:10:27.220
LOOKING AT YOU.
00:10:27.220 --> 00:10:30.020
WHAT'S THE FIRST PART OF ANY
00:10:30.020 --> 00:10:30.220
LETTER?
00:10:30.220 --> 00:10:31.240
THE FIRST PART IS THAT EVERY
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.190
LETTER HAS A CONTEXT.
00:10:33.190 --> 00:10:35.190
EVERY LETTER HAS A CONTEXT.
00:10:35.190 --> 00:10:37.090
WHAT IS "CONTEXT"?
00:10:37.090 --> 00:10:39.110
IT'S "THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT
00:10:39.110 --> 00:10:40.270
FORM THE SETTING FOR AN EVENT,
00:10:40.270 --> 00:10:42.220
STATEMENT, OR IDEA, AND IN TERMS
00:10:42.220 --> 00:10:44.210
OF WHICH IT CAN BE FULLY
00:10:44.210 --> 00:10:47.030
UNDERSTOOD AND ASSESSED."
00:10:47.030 --> 00:10:48.230
CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING.
00:10:48.230 --> 00:10:51.130
HAVE YOU EVER RECEIVED A TEXT
00:10:51.130 --> 00:10:53.080
FROM SOMEBODY THAT DIDN'T MEAN
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:54.150
AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
00:10:56.230 --> 00:10:58.070
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT?
00:10:58.070 --> 00:10:59.190
THERE'S NO CONTEXT.
00:10:59.190 --> 00:11:01.210
A PIECE OF PAPER PASSED TO YOU
00:11:01.210 --> 00:11:03.260
QUIETLY THAT HAS SCRIBBLED ON
00:11:04.150 --> 00:11:07.150
IT, "HELP ME," COULD BE SOMEONE
00:11:07.150 --> 00:11:09.080
WHO IS IN GRAVE DANGER OR JUST A
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:11.290
KID TRYING TO SNEAK OUT OF
00:11:11.290 --> 00:11:12.220
CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING, AND WHEN
00:11:15.040 --> 00:11:17.140
IT COMES TO THE CONTEXT OF YOUR
00:11:17.140 --> 00:11:19.030
LIFE'S LETTER, FROM THE MOMENT
00:11:19.030 --> 00:11:21.090
YOU SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO
00:11:21.090 --> 00:11:22.140
JESUS CHRIST, THE CONTEXT OF
00:11:22.140 --> 00:11:24.070
YOUR LIFE CHANGES ONCE AND FOR
00:11:24.070 --> 00:11:25.130
ALL.
00:11:25.130 --> 00:11:26.130
IT'S NEVER THE SAME AGAIN.
00:11:26.130 --> 00:11:29.080
IN EVERY SEASON OF YOUR LIFE,
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:30.240
THE CONTEXT OF YOUR LIFE IS NOW
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.060
THE SAME POWER THAT CONQUERED
00:11:33.170 --> 00:11:36.170
THE GRAVE, LIVES WITHIN ME.
00:11:36.170 --> 00:11:39.100
THE SAME POWER THAT DWELLED
00:11:39.100 --> 00:11:41.210
WITHIN GOD THAT ROSE HIM FROM
00:11:41.210 --> 00:11:43.250
THE GRAVE NOW LIVES WITHIN ME,
00:11:45.060 --> 00:11:48.060
BUT, HEAR ME, THE CONTEXT OF
00:11:48.060 --> 00:11:49.080
YOUR LIFE REALLY DOES DEPEND
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.110
UPON YOU SURRENDERING YOUR LIFE
00:11:51.110 --> 00:11:52.280
EPHESIANS SAYS THIS: "DON'T
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.110
WASTE YOUR TIME ON USELESS
00:11:57.110 --> 00:11:59.030
WORK," CHAPTER 5, VERSE 11,
00:11:59.030 --> 00:12:00.130
"MERE BUSYWORK, THE BARREN
00:12:00.170 --> 00:12:03.170
PURSUITS OF DARKNESS.
00:12:03.170 --> 00:12:05.080
EXPOSE THOSE THINGS FOR THE SHAM
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:06.230
THEY ARE.
00:12:06.230 --> 00:12:08.070
IT'S A SCANDAL WHEN PEOPLE WASTE
00:12:08.070 --> 00:12:11.040
THEIR LIVES ON THINGS THEY MUST
00:12:11.040 --> 00:12:12.090
DO IN THE DARKNESS WHERE NO ONE
00:12:12.090 --> 00:12:13.260
WILL SEE.
00:12:13.260 --> 00:12:15.140
RIP THE COVER OFF THOSE FRAUDS.
00:12:15.140 --> 00:12:17.160
SEE HOW ATTRACTIVE THEY LOOK IN
00:12:17.160 --> 00:12:19.080
THE LIGHT OF CHRIST.
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:20.160
WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLEEP.
00:12:20.160 --> 00:12:22.290
CLIMB OUT OF YOUR COFFINS.
00:12:22.290 --> 00:12:25.210
CHRIST WILL SHOW YOU THE LIGHT.
00:12:25.210 --> 00:12:27.200
SO WATCH YOUR STEP.
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.000
USE YOUR HEAD.
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:31.030
MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY CHANCE
00:12:31.030 --> 00:12:32.050
YOU GET.
00:12:32.050 --> 00:12:34.160
"BARREN WORK," "BARRENNESS,"
00:12:38.110 --> 00:12:39.170
"PURSUITS OF DARKNESS."
00:12:40.090 --> 00:12:43.090
YOU KNOW, DARKNESS CAN NEVER
00:12:43.090 --> 00:12:44.040
PRODUCE LIGHT.
00:12:44.040 --> 00:12:46.050
BEFORE YOU KNEW JESUS, IT DIDN'T
00:12:46.050 --> 00:12:47.100
MATTER WHAT YOUR TITLE WAS OR
00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:48.210
HOW MUCH YOU OWNED.
00:12:48.210 --> 00:12:49.250
THERE WAS STILL SOMETHING THAT
00:12:49.250 --> 00:12:50.290
YOU WERE MISSING.
00:12:50.290 --> 00:12:52.090
MAYBE TODAY YOU'RE STILL
00:12:52.090 --> 00:12:53.150
SEARCHING.
00:12:53.150 --> 00:12:55.010
CAN I TELL YOU, THE CONTEXT OF
00:12:55.010 --> 00:12:56.260
YOUR LIFE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A
00:12:56.260 --> 00:12:57.170
SEARCH BECAUSE YOU CAN BE FOUND
00:12:57.170 --> 00:12:58.200
TODAY, CAN BE FOUND ONCE AND FOR
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.160
AND THE CONTEXT OF YOUR LIFE CAN
00:13:02.170 --> 00:13:03.180
BE CHANGED FROM A COFFIN TO
00:13:03.180 --> 00:13:04.090
CHRIST.
00:13:04.090 --> 00:13:05.290
IN ONE MOMENT, THE CONTEXT OF
00:13:05.290 --> 00:13:07.150
AND IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER, AS
00:13:10.090 --> 00:13:11.180
FOLLOWERS OF JESUS, WHETHER
00:13:11.180 --> 00:13:12.270
WE'RE ON THE MOUNTAINTOP OR IN
00:13:12.270 --> 00:13:14.130
THE VALLEY BECAUSE THE CONTEXT
00:13:14.130 --> 00:13:16.010
OF OUR LIFE ALWAYS STAYS THE
00:13:16.010 --> 00:13:17.220
SAME: IT'S THAT JESUS CHRIST
00:13:17.220 --> 00:13:19.290
LIVES WITHIN US, THAT WE'RE
00:13:19.290 --> 00:13:21.260
NEVER ABANDONED, THAT WE'RE
00:13:21.260 --> 00:13:23.290
NEVER ALONE, THAT HIS STRENGTH
00:13:23.290 --> 00:13:25.170
REALLY IS ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY
00:13:25.170 --> 00:13:27.150
TAKE OUR WEAKNESS AND TURN IT
00:13:27.150 --> 00:13:29.050
INTO A GREAT STORY OF HIS GRACE
00:13:29.050 --> 00:13:31.010
AND OF HIS POWER.
00:13:31.010 --> 00:13:34.000
GOING TO THE DOCTOR ON MY 25TH
00:13:36.190 --> 00:13:38.010
BIRTHDAY, AND I WOKE UP THAT
00:13:38.010 --> 00:13:39.130
MORNING.
00:13:39.130 --> 00:13:40.000
IT WAS A ORDINARY DAY.
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:41.200
I WAS GONNA BE AT WORK ON TIME.
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.010
I HAD AN EARLY APPOINTMENT, AND
00:13:43.010 --> 00:13:44.080
I WENT IN, TO THE DOCTOR, AND MY
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:45.110
DOCTOR SAID, "DAWNCHERÉ, YOUR
00:13:45.110 --> 00:13:47.070
BLOOD TEST CAME BACK.
00:13:47.070 --> 00:13:48.060
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE SOME TROUBLE
00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:51.220
HAVING A BABY.
00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:53.030
I WAS SO THROWN OFF.
00:13:53.030 --> 00:13:55.080
RICH AND I HAD BEEN MARRIED FOR
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:56.090
WE'VE BEEN MARRIED 11 YEARS NOW,
00:13:58.160 --> 00:14:00.060
AND, YOU KNOW, 8 YEARS AGO,
00:14:00.060 --> 00:14:01.020
HEARING THAT WORD, I THOUGHT SHE
00:14:01.020 --> 00:14:02.000
WAS CRAZY.
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:03.020
THERE ARE SIX KIDS IN MY FAMILY.
00:14:03.020 --> 00:14:04.270
MY DAD WINKED AT MY MOM, AND SHE
00:14:04.270 --> 00:14:07.090
GOT PREGNANT.
00:14:07.090 --> 00:14:08.150
[LAUGHTER]
00:14:08.150 --> 00:14:10.100
I'M LIKE, "YOU GOT THE WRONG
00:14:10.100 --> 00:14:13.060
RESULTS 'CAUSE THAT'S NOT MY
00:14:13.060 --> 00:14:13.260
STORY."
00:14:13.260 --> 00:14:15.030
BUT THAT STARTED AN EIGHT-YEAR
00:14:15.030 --> 00:14:17.050
JOURNEY OF INFERTILITY FOR
00:14:17.050 --> 00:14:18.120
US, AND, YOU KNOW,
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.200
THERE WERE A LOT OF DAYS
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:21.130
THAT WERE NOT EASY.
00:14:21.130 --> 00:14:24.060
THERE WERE A LOT OF MOMENTS
00:14:24.060 --> 00:14:25.220
WHERE WE HAD TO CHOOSE NOT TO
00:14:25.220 --> 00:14:28.110
LOOK AT OUR CIRCUMSTANCE BUT TO
00:14:28.110 --> 00:14:30.060
UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT OF OUR
00:14:30.060 --> 00:14:32.020
LIFE IS ALWAYS THAT THE SAME
00:14:32.020 --> 00:14:33.060
POWER THAT CONQUERED THE GRAVE
00:14:33.060 --> 00:14:34.140
LIVES IN ME.
00:14:34.140 --> 00:14:36.160
MY CIRCUMSTANCE THEN WAS NOT
00:14:36.160 --> 00:14:38.120
THAT I WAS BARREN.
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:39.140
MY CIRCUMSTANCE THEN WAS NOT
00:14:39.140 --> 00:14:41.160
THAT I WAS AT A STOP SIGN, THAT
00:14:41.160 --> 00:14:44.050
MY LIFE WAS ON PAUSE, THAT WAS
00:14:44.050 --> 00:14:45.170
WAITING FOR A MIRACLE.
00:14:45.170 --> 00:14:47.180
I HAD ALREADY HELD A MIRACLE,
00:14:47.180 --> 00:14:49.230
THE PRESENCE OF GOD WAS ENOUGH
00:14:49.230 --> 00:14:51.100
THEN, AND IT'S ENOUGH NOW.
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:55.000
THE CONTEXT OF YOUR LIFE IS THAT
00:14:55.210 --> 00:14:58.210
THE POWER OF ALMIGHTY GOD DWELLS
00:14:58.210 --> 00:15:01.020
WITHIN YOU, SO START TO WALK IN
00:15:01.020 --> 00:15:03.070
IT.
00:15:03.070 --> 00:15:05.100
YOUR CIRCUMSTANCE MAY SAY THAT
00:15:05.100 --> 00:15:07.100
YOU FEEL CONFUSED, BUT YOUR
00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:09.120
CONTEXT SAYS THAT YOU ARE MORE
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.230
THAN A CONQUEROR THROUGH
00:15:10.230 --> 00:15:12.150
CHRIST JESUS.
00:15:12.150 --> 00:15:15.070
YOUR CIRCUMSTANCE MAY SAY THAT
00:15:15.070 --> 00:15:17.100
YOU HAVE A BROKEN HEART, BUT THE
00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:19.020
CONTEXT THAT YOU WALK IN SAYS
00:15:19.190 --> 00:15:22.190
THAT YOU SERVE A HEALER, WHO CAN
00:15:22.190 --> 00:15:23.270
TAKE THE BROKEN PIECES OF YOUR
00:15:23.270 --> 00:15:25.280
LIFE AND MEND THEM TOGETHER MORE
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:29.080
THAN THEY EVER WERE BEFORE.
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:31.200
THIS IS THE CONTEXT OF YOUR
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.030
LIFE, BUT WHEN WE BEGIN TO DOUBT
00:15:33.030 --> 00:15:35.240
THE CONTEXT WE WALK IN, WE START
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:38.140
TO LIVE OUT OF CONTEXT.
00:15:38.140 --> 00:15:40.100
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ANYBODY SAY,
00:15:40.100 --> 00:15:42.240
"THAT SCRIPTURE WAS TAKEN OUT OF
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.150
CONTEXT"?
00:15:44.150 --> 00:15:46.140
WELL, IF YOUR LIFE IS A LETTER
00:15:46.140 --> 00:15:47.280
THAT ANYONE COULD READ, SIMPLY
00:15:47.280 --> 00:15:48.260
BY LOOKING AT YOU, WHEN THE
00:15:48.260 --> 00:15:50.050
THINGS THAT YOU PROFESS AND THE
00:15:50.050 --> 00:15:51.240
ACTIONS THAT YOU DO DON'T LINE
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:53.150
UP WITH THE CONTEXT OF CHRIST,
00:15:53.150 --> 00:15:55.120
YOUR LIFE LETTER IS BEING
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:57.020
WRITTEN OUT OF CONTEXT, AND IT'S
00:15:57.020 --> 00:15:59.050
TIME TODAY TO ALIGN YOUR FAITH
00:15:59.250 --> 00:16:02.270
WITH THE PROMISES OF GOD.
00:16:02.270 --> 00:16:05.250
HE SAID HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU.
00:16:05.250 --> 00:16:07.240
HE WILL NEVER FORSAKE YOU.
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.200
HE WILL LEAD YOU THROUGH THE
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:11.190
MOUNTAIN AND THE VALLEY.
00:16:11.190 --> 00:16:13.170
'CAUSE HE'S WAITING TO CONTINUE
00:16:15.260 --> 00:16:17.200
TO WRITE YOUR LIFE STORY.
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.200
TODAY YOU'VE GOTTA UNDERSTAND
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.240
WHAT THE CONTEXT OF CHRIST IS.
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.180
THE SECOND PART OF ANY LETTER IS
00:16:25.180 --> 00:16:27.070
THE CONTENT.
00:16:27.070 --> 00:16:28.210
THE CONTENT OF YOUR LIFE
00:16:28.210 --> 00:16:30.020
MATTERS.
00:16:30.020 --> 00:16:32.170
WHAT IS "CONTENT"?
00:16:32.170 --> 00:16:34.020
"IT'S THE THINGS THAT ARE HELD
00:16:34.020 --> 00:16:34.230
SO LET ME ASK YOU TODAY: WHAT IS
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:40.170
THE CONTENT OF YOUR LIFE RIGHT
00:16:40.170 --> 00:16:42.220
NOW?
00:16:42.220 --> 00:16:44.200
NOT FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, NOT
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:46.070
WHEN YOU GET THAT BREAK, NOT
00:16:46.070 --> 00:16:47.100
WHEN YOU GET THAT JOB, NOT WHEN
00:16:47.100 --> 00:16:49.010
YOU MEET THAT RIGHT PERSON, NOT
00:16:49.010 --> 00:16:50.060
WHEN YOUR FIVE-YEAR PLAN IS
00:16:50.060 --> 00:16:52.290
COMPLETE.
00:16:52.290 --> 00:16:55.060
WHAT IS THE CONTENT OF YOUR LIFE
00:16:55.060 --> 00:16:57.230
RIGHT NOW?
00:16:58.180 --> 00:17:01.200
'CAUSE, HEAR ME, THE CONTENT WE
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:03.050
CONSUME WILL BECOME THE CONTENT
00:17:03.050 --> 00:17:05.150
THAT WE CREATE, AND WHATEVER
00:17:07.070 --> 00:17:10.070
YOU'RE CONSUMING TODAY WILL
00:17:10.070 --> 00:17:12.290
BECOME WHAT YOU CREATE IN THE
00:17:14.020 --> 00:17:17.020
FUTURE.
00:17:17.020 --> 00:17:18.000
WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE THE WORD OF
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:19.010
GOD TELLS US AS A WOMAN THINKS
00:17:19.010 --> 00:17:20.130
IN HER HEART, SO IS SHE.
00:17:20.130 --> 00:17:21.220
"THE EYES ARE THE GATEWAY TO THE
00:17:21.220 --> 00:17:22.200
SOUL."
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:23.290
"BAD COMPANY CORRUPTS
00:17:23.290 --> 00:17:24.200
WHAT ARE ALL OF THESE PROMISES
00:17:27.040 --> 00:17:27.280
SAYING TO US?
00:17:27.280 --> 00:17:29.090
THAT IT MATTERS WHAT YOU'RE
00:17:29.090 --> 00:17:30.040
TAKING IN, AND WHAT YOU CONSUME
00:17:30.040 --> 00:17:31.260
AND THE CONTENT OF YOUR LIFE IS
00:17:35.060 --> 00:17:36.120
NOT WAITING TO BE CREATED WHEN
00:17:36.120 --> 00:17:37.250
YOU GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE OR
00:17:37.250 --> 00:17:39.200
WHEN YOU HAVE THAT 401(K) SET
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.220
UP.
00:17:41.220 --> 00:17:42.210
THE CONTENT OF YOUR LIFE IS
00:17:42.210 --> 00:17:43.280
BEING CREATED RIGHT NOW, AND THE
00:17:43.280 --> 00:17:46.080
LETTER OF YOUR LIFE IS BEING
00:17:46.080 --> 00:17:47.230
READ BY ALL THOSE AROUND YOU.
00:17:49.130 --> 00:17:52.130
WE ARE INUNDATED WITH CONTENT
00:17:52.130 --> 00:17:55.060
TODAY, AREN'T WE, LIKE NEVER
00:17:55.060 --> 00:17:56.030
BEFORE?
00:17:56.030 --> 00:17:58.130
I MEAN, YOU COME OVER HERE.
00:17:58.130 --> 00:17:59.280
I'M SURE YOUR DESK LOOKS LIKE
00:17:59.280 --> 00:18:01.110
THIS IF YOU'RE LIKE ME.
00:18:01.110 --> 00:18:03.080
I'M SURE THAT EVERY DAY YOU WAKE
00:18:03.080 --> 00:18:04.180
UP TO A MILLION DIFFERENT
00:18:04.180 --> 00:18:06.070
NOTIFICATIONS: CNN BLOWIN' UP,
00:18:06.070 --> 00:18:09.000
INSTAGRAM GOIN' OFF.
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:10.260
YOU CAN SEEK AS MUCH CONTENT AS
00:18:10.260 --> 00:18:13.030
YOU WANT.
00:18:13.230 --> 00:18:16.230
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A GENERATION
00:18:16.230 --> 00:18:18.000
THAT'S EVER HAD MORE CONTENT
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:19.110
THAN WE HAVE, AND, YET WE'RE
00:18:19.110 --> 00:18:21.090
EVEN MORE DISSATISFIED THE MORE
00:18:21.090 --> 00:18:23.110
WE CONSUME.
00:18:23.110 --> 00:18:26.080
WE SIT IN FRONT OF A SCREEN FOR
00:18:26.080 --> 00:18:27.270
HOURS READING, AND, YET WE DON'T
00:18:27.270 --> 00:18:29.140
FIND PEACE.
00:18:29.140 --> 00:18:31.150
WE SCROLL, AND WE SCROLL, AND,
00:18:31.150 --> 00:18:32.260
YET OUR ANXIETY STAYS BECAUSE
00:18:32.260 --> 00:18:35.170
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE CONTENT OR
00:18:35.170 --> 00:18:37.070
THE AMOUNT OF CONTENT THAT YOU
00:18:37.070 --> 00:18:38.030
CONSUME.
00:18:38.030 --> 00:18:40.140
IT'S ABOUT CONSUMING THE RIGHT
00:18:40.140 --> 00:18:42.080
CONTENT, AND WE HAVE THE BREAD
00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:43.160
OF LIFE.
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.050
WE HAVE THE WATER OF LIFE.
00:18:45.050 --> 00:18:46.270
WE HAVE WHAT BRINGS PEACE AND
00:18:46.270 --> 00:18:48.230
JOY AND STRENGTH, AND, YET IT
00:18:48.230 --> 00:18:50.170
SITS DUSTY ON OUR BEDSIDE WHILE
00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:53.220
WE CONSUME, FOR HOURS EVERY DAY,
00:18:55.100 --> 00:18:58.100
CONTENT THAT IS WORTHLESS TO US,
00:18:58.130 --> 00:19:01.150
CONTENT THAT IS WORTHLESS TO ME.
00:19:01.150 --> 00:19:03.230
IT'S A BATTLE EVERY DAY FOR ME.
00:19:03.230 --> 00:19:06.020
I DON'T POINT MY FINGER AT YOU.
00:19:06.020 --> 00:19:07.150
THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST
00:19:07.150 --> 00:19:09.010
BATTLES OF OUR GENERATION.
00:19:09.060 --> 00:19:12.060
YOU KNOW, I'M SO THANKFUL TODAY
00:19:12.060 --> 00:19:13.200
BECAUSE I'M 22 WEEKS PREGNANT--
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:16.150
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
00:19:21.050 --> 00:19:24.050
-- AND GOD HAS BEEN SO FAITHFUL
00:19:24.050 --> 00:19:25.030
TO ME, AND ONE THING THAT I'VE
00:19:25.050 --> 00:19:28.050
LEARNED OVER THE LAST 22 WEEKS
00:19:28.050 --> 00:19:29.200
IS THAT WHAT I CONSUME AFFECTS
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:31.030
THIS MIRACLE WITHIN ME, THAT,
00:19:31.040 --> 00:19:34.040
LITERALLY, THE EXACT FOODS THAT
00:19:34.040 --> 00:19:35.260
I'M EATING ARE THE NUTRIENTS
00:19:35.260 --> 00:19:37.080
THAT MY CHILD, MY MIRACLE, THE
00:19:37.080 --> 00:19:39.080
THING THAT I'VE PRAYED FOR, SO
00:19:39.080 --> 00:19:40.220
LONG FOR, IS NOW GOING TO BE FED
00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:42.130
BY.
00:19:44.210 --> 00:19:47.210
THERE'S A MIRACLE WITHIN YOU.
00:19:47.210 --> 00:19:49.280
THERE'S A LETTER THAT THE WORLD
00:19:49.280 --> 00:19:51.170
IS WAITING TO READ THAT THEY'VE
00:19:51.170 --> 00:19:52.270
NEVER READ BEFORE BECAUSE YOU
00:19:52.270 --> 00:19:54.130
WERE DESTINED TO WRITE IT
00:19:54.130 --> 00:19:55.190
THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF GOD, BUT
00:19:55.190 --> 00:19:57.210
THE CONTENT THAT YOU'RE
00:19:57.210 --> 00:19:58.290
CONSUMING RIGHT NOW, IT'S
00:19:58.290 --> 00:19:59.280
WRITING THAT LIFE LETTER, AND I
00:19:59.280 --> 00:20:01.230
GUESS MY QUESTION TO YOU IS
00:20:01.230 --> 00:20:03.060
"WHAT ARE YOU CONSUMING?"
00:20:03.060 --> 00:20:04.200
BECAUSE ONLY THE PRESENCE OF GOD
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:06.250
CAN TRULY FEED YOUR SOUL.
00:20:06.250 --> 00:20:09.120
THERE'S NOTHING, THERE'S NO
00:20:09.120 --> 00:20:11.070
REFERENCE, THERE'S NO CONCERT,
00:20:11.070 --> 00:20:13.020
THERE'S NO ARTIST THAT CAN
00:20:13.020 --> 00:20:14.220
INSPIRE YOU LIKE AWE OF GOD.
00:20:15.230 --> 00:20:18.230
WHEN YOU TRULY DISCOVER WHO YOUR
00:20:18.230 --> 00:20:21.150
CREATOR IS, IS WHEN YOU WILL
00:20:21.150 --> 00:20:23.050
STAND IN AWE, AND THE LIFE
00:20:23.050 --> 00:20:25.180
LETTER WILL SUDDENLY BEGIN TO
00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:27.000
TAKE ON A BRAND-NEW LIFE.
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:28.250
YOU WERE CREATED FOR EVERY
00:20:28.250 --> 00:20:31.170
SINGLE SCRIPT OF YOUR LETTER TO
00:20:31.260 --> 00:20:34.260
CARRY THE SPIRIT AND THE
00:20:34.260 --> 00:20:36.130
PRESENCE AND THE PEACE OF GOD.
00:20:36.130 --> 00:20:38.200
WHAT ARE YOU CONSUMING?
00:20:39.180 --> 00:20:42.180
WHAT SHOULD THE CONTENT OF OUR
00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:44.070
LIFE LOOK LIKE?
00:20:44.070 --> 00:20:46.090
LIKE, "DAWNCHERÉ, YOU'RE TELLING
00:20:46.090 --> 00:20:47.030
ME WHAT IT SHOULDN'T LOOK LIKE.
00:20:47.030 --> 00:20:48.080
WHAT SHOULD IT LOOK LIKE?"
00:20:48.080 --> 00:20:50.070
I LOVE THE BIBLE BECAUSE, AS WE
00:20:50.070 --> 00:20:51.050
DIG IN IT, IT ACTUALLY ANSWERS
00:20:51.050 --> 00:20:52.080
THE REAL QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE
00:20:52.080 --> 00:20:53.210
AND THIS IS WHAT MATTHEW
00:20:56.120 --> 00:20:57.000
CHAPTER 23, VERSE 11, SAYS, IN
00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:58.010
THE MESSAGE INTERPRETATION: "DO
00:20:58.010 --> 00:20:59.030
YOU WANNA STAND OUT?
00:20:59.030 --> 00:21:00.240
THEN STEP DOWN.
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.170
BE A SERVANT.
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:08.000
IF YOU PUFF YOURSELF UP, YOU'LL
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:09.010
GET THE WIND KNOCKED OUT OF YOU.
00:21:09.010 --> 00:21:11.010
BUT IF YOU'RE CONTENT TO SIMPLY
00:21:11.190 --> 00:21:14.190
BE YOURSELF, YOUR LIFE WILL
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.160
COUNT FOR PLENTY."
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:22.070
WE MUST LEARN TO BE CONTENT
00:21:22.070 --> 00:21:24.030
WITH WHO GOD HAS CREATED
00:21:24.030 --> 00:21:24.290
NOT YOUR NEIGHBOR, NOT YOUR
00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:28.040
BOSS, NOT YOUR ROLE MODEL, NOT
00:21:28.040 --> 00:21:29.080
YOUR SISTER OR YOUR BROTHER OR
00:21:29.080 --> 00:21:31.110
YOUR PASTOR, BUT YOU NEED TO
00:21:31.110 --> 00:21:32.270
LEARN THE FREEDOM AND THE JOY
00:21:32.270 --> 00:21:35.150
THAT COMES WITH LEARNING TO BE
00:21:35.150 --> 00:21:37.150
CONTENT WITH WHO CHRIST HAS
00:21:37.150 --> 00:21:39.210
CREATED YOU TO BE.
00:21:39.210 --> 00:21:41.110
YOU WANT GREAT CONTENT?
00:21:41.110 --> 00:21:42.170
LEARN TO BE CONTENT BECAUSE,
00:21:42.170 --> 00:21:44.280
WHEN YOU LEARN TO BE CONTENT,
00:21:44.280 --> 00:21:46.100
YOU'LL CREATE THE GREATEST
00:21:46.100 --> 00:21:48.280
CONTENT THAT YOUR LIFE COULD
00:21:48.280 --> 00:21:49.230
EVER CREATE.
00:21:49.260 --> 00:21:52.260
THIS IS THE PROMISE OF OUR GOD,
00:21:52.260 --> 00:21:55.200
BUT, SO OFTEN, WE GET CAUGHT UP
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:57.030
IN THE COMPARISON GAME, RIGHT?
00:21:57.030 --> 00:21:58.280
WE SPEND HOURS LOOKIN' AT WHAT
00:21:58.280 --> 00:22:01.090
THEY'RE DOING, WHEN GOD IS
00:22:01.090 --> 00:22:02.220
GOIN', "IF YOU'LL JUST GET YOUR
00:22:02.220 --> 00:22:03.250
EYES ON MY LANE, MAN, I GOT A
00:22:03.250 --> 00:22:06.170
YOU WOULDN'T EVEN BELIEVE WHAT I
00:22:10.060 --> 00:22:10.280
HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IF YOU
00:22:10.280 --> 00:22:12.070
COULD JUST LOOK FORWARD INSTEAD
00:22:12.070 --> 00:22:13.260
OF TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT.
00:22:13.260 --> 00:22:14.260
YOU COULD STOP STRIVING,
00:22:14.260 --> 00:22:17.140
ACHIEVING, COMPETING.
00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:18.180
YOU GOT ONE LANE IN FRONT OF
00:22:18.180 --> 00:22:19.290
YOU, AND I'VE RESERVED IT FOR
00:22:19.290 --> 00:22:21.230
YOU."
00:22:21.230 --> 00:22:24.210
LET THIS SPIRIT OF GOD CREATE
00:22:24.210 --> 00:22:26.110
YOU SEE, I KNOW THAT, TO OUR
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:31.010
WORLD, THE GREATEST ARTISTS WHO
00:22:31.010 --> 00:22:33.040
CREATE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC,
00:22:33.040 --> 00:22:35.010
WHO CREATE THE MOST POWERFUL
00:22:35.010 --> 00:22:36.210
DRAMA, WHO WRITE THE BEST FILMS,
00:22:36.210 --> 00:22:39.010
ARE WARPED AND BROKEN AND COME
00:22:39.010 --> 00:22:41.010
FROM A PAST OF DESPAIR, BUT I
00:22:41.010 --> 00:22:43.120
JUST BELIEVE WITH ALL OF MY
00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:44.250
HEART THAT IT'S TIME FOR A
00:22:44.250 --> 00:22:46.190
GENERATION OF FOLLOWERS OF JESUS
00:22:46.190 --> 00:22:48.280
TO STAND UP AND SAY, "I ONCE WAS
00:22:48.280 --> 00:22:50.170
WARPED, I ONCE WAS BROKEN, I
00:22:50.170 --> 00:22:52.110
ONCE WAS LOST, BUT THEN I
00:22:52.280 --> 00:22:55.280
ENCOUNTERED THE LOVE OF JESUS,
00:22:55.280 --> 00:22:58.100
AND IT CHANGED EVERYTHING IN MY
00:22:58.100 --> 00:23:00.220
LIFE, AND IT'S INSPIRED MY ROAD.
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.240
IT'S INSPIRED MY JOURNEY.
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.120
IT'S INSPIRED MY CREATIVITY.
00:23:06.120 --> 00:23:09.080
IT'S INSPIRED EVERYTHING BECAUSE
00:23:09.080 --> 00:23:11.210
HE IS MY EVERYTHING."
00:23:14.170 --> 00:23:17.170
THE CONTENT YOU CONSUME WILL
00:23:17.170 --> 00:23:18.220
BE THE CONTENT YOU CREATE.
00:23:18.220 --> 00:23:20.140
YOU WANNA CREATE GREAT CONTENT?
00:23:20.140 --> 00:23:21.190
FINAL PART OF ANY LETTER IS THE
00:23:24.180 --> 00:23:25.100
CREDIT.
00:23:25.100 --> 00:23:28.050
2 CORINTHIANS WRITES THIS: THE

SPIRIT WROTE IT, NOT YOU.
00:23:35.110 --> 00:23:37.030
SO IF THE SPIRIT WROTE IT, WHO
00:23:37.030 --> 00:23:38.140
GETS THE CREDIT?
00:23:38.170 --> 00:23:41.170

THAT HANDWRITING EXPERTS CAN

RESPONSIBLE TO WRITE THE LETTER.

THIS IS ERWIN MCMANUS, AND I AM
00:29:13.170 --> 00:29:14.140
BACK IN THE MOSAIC CONFERENCE,
00:29:14.140 --> 00:29:15.240
"INTO THE UNKNOWN," AND I HAVE
00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:17.170
WITH ME PASTOR CHRIS DURSO, ONE
00:29:17.170 --> 00:29:18.180
OF MY FAVORITE HUMAN BEINGS ON
00:29:18.180 --> 00:29:20.070
THE PLANET, FROM QUEENS, AND
00:29:20.070 --> 00:29:21.280
CHRIS TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT
00:29:21.280 --> 00:29:24.070
ABOUT YOUR TAKE ON GOING INTO
00:29:24.290 --> 00:29:27.290
THE UNKNOWN.
00:29:27.290 --> 00:29:29.180
YOU'RE STEPPING INTO THIS THEME
00:29:29.180 --> 00:29:31.060
FROM A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE OF
00:29:31.060 --> 00:29:33.110
WHAT IS NECESSARY IN OUR LIFE TO
00:29:33.110 --> 00:29:34.150
BE ABLE TO STEP INTO THIS WORLD
00:29:34.150 --> 00:29:35.170
OF MYSTERY AND ADVENTURE THAT
00:29:38.140 --> 00:29:39.050
JESUS CALLS US INTO.
00:29:39.050 --> 00:29:40.010
SO THE MOMENT I HEARD THE WORD
00:29:42.220 --> 00:29:43.280
"UNKNOWN," I WAS REMINDED OF THE
00:29:43.280 --> 00:29:44.250
VERSE IN 2 CORINTHIANS WHERE IT
00:29:44.250 --> 00:29:45.190
NO EAR HAS HEARD WHAT GOD HAS,"
00:29:48.220 --> 00:29:50.100
AND WHAT THAT STATEMENT RIGHT
00:29:50.100 --> 00:29:51.260
THERE, "WHAT GOD HAS," THAT'S
00:29:51.260 --> 00:29:52.280
THE UNKNOWN, WHAT GOD HAS FOR
00:29:52.280 --> 00:29:54.140
THOSE THAT LOVE HIM, AND I
00:29:54.140 --> 00:29:56.110
THINK, SO OFTEN, WE'LL GET SO
00:29:56.110 --> 00:29:58.050
CAUGHT UP WITH "WHAT DOES OUR
00:29:58.050 --> 00:29:59.220
FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
00:29:59.220 --> 00:30:00.170
WHAT DOES OUR PURPOSE LOOK LIKE?
00:30:00.170 --> 00:30:01.130
WHAT DOES OUR DESTINY LOOK LIKE?
00:30:01.130 --> 00:30:02.150
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO
00:30:02.150 --> 00:30:03.150
ACCOMPLISH IT?"
00:30:03.150 --> 00:30:04.210
AND WHAT WE FIND OUT IN THAT
00:30:04.210 --> 00:30:05.170
VERSE, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS
00:30:05.170 --> 00:30:06.110
LOVE HIM.
00:30:06.110 --> 00:30:07.040
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT.
00:30:07.040 --> 00:30:08.020
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PUT
00:30:08.020 --> 00:30:08.260
TOGETHER.
00:30:08.260 --> 00:30:09.200
YOU DON'T HAVE TO STRIVE.
00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:10.160
YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:11.260
BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO HEAR
00:30:11.260 --> 00:30:13.050
WHAT NO ONE ELSE HAS HEARD.
00:30:13.050 --> 00:30:14.030
YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE WHAT NO MAN
00:30:14.030 --> 00:30:16.130
OR WOMAN HAS SEEN, AND THAT'S
00:30:16.130 --> 00:30:18.030
ALL GONNA HAPPEN BECAUSE YOU
00:30:18.030 --> 00:30:19.230
LOVE HIM, AND IF YOU LOVE HIM,
00:30:19.230 --> 00:30:20.230
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO STEP INTO THE
00:30:20.230 --> 00:30:22.140
UNKNOWN.
00:30:22.140 --> 00:30:23.220
AND WHAT I WAS THINKIN' ABOUT
00:30:23.220 --> 00:30:24.130
THIS IDEA OF BECAUSE WE CAN
00:30:24.130 --> 00:30:26.100
UN-SEE WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IN
00:30:26.100 --> 00:30:28.000
LIFE, BECAUSE WE CAN UN-SEE THE
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:29.010
MISTAKES THAT WE'VE MADE AND THE
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:33.200
MESS-UPS, AND KNOWING WHO WE
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:34.150
TRULY ARE AS PEOPLE, WE SEE
00:30:34.150 --> 00:30:36.170
OURSELVES, AND WE THINK, "HOW
00:30:36.170 --> 00:30:38.060
COULD THIS GOD LOVE US?
00:30:38.060 --> 00:30:39.290
I KNOW MYSELF TOO WELL.
00:30:39.290 --> 00:30:41.040
I KNOW THE MISTAKES THAT I'VE
00:30:41.040 --> 00:30:42.100
MADE, AND I'M HEARING THAT I'M
00:30:42.100 --> 00:30:43.170
GONNA DO ALL THESE GREAT THINGS.
00:30:43.170 --> 00:30:44.200
HOW COULD I DO ANYTHING GREAT
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:46.110
WHEN I KNOW ME?"
00:30:46.110 --> 00:30:47.240
AND THE FACT IS-- I LOVE THE
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:49.050
GRACE OF GOD, HOWEVER, I THINK
00:30:49.050 --> 00:30:50.130
THE CONVERSATION FOR ME IS MORE
00:30:50.130 --> 00:30:51.090
ABOUT SHAME.
00:30:51.090 --> 00:30:52.260
I WAS SOMEONE THAT KNEW ALL THE
00:30:52.260 --> 00:30:54.150
MISTAKES THAT I MADE AND GET
00:30:54.150 --> 00:30:56.070
REALLY EMBARRASSED WHEN I THINK
00:30:56.070 --> 00:30:57.120
ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT
00:30:57.120 --> 00:30:59.020
I'VE DONE, JUST, IN MY LIFE, AND
00:30:59.020 --> 00:31:01.140
BECAUSE I WAS SO OVERWHELMED
00:31:01.140 --> 00:31:02.130
WITH SHAME, THE ANTIDOTE FOR
00:31:02.130 --> 00:31:03.190
SHAME IS GRACE, IS LOVE, SO DO I
00:31:03.190 --> 00:31:05.270
LOVE GRACE?
00:31:05.270 --> 00:31:07.100
I LOVE GRACE WITH ALL MY HEART
00:31:07.100 --> 00:31:08.190
BECAUSE I HATE SHAME.
00:31:08.190 --> 00:31:10.020
THERE ARE SO MANY MOMENTS IN THE
00:31:10.020 --> 00:31:11.230
BIBLE WHERE WE READ CERTAIN
00:31:11.230 --> 00:31:13.230
STORIES, AND YOU REALIZE JESUS
00:31:13.230 --> 00:31:15.130
LITERALLY ROBS PEOPLE OF THEIR
00:31:15.130 --> 00:31:17.120
SHAME SPEECH.
00:31:17.120 --> 00:31:18.180
- ERWIN: SOMETHIN' HAPPENED TO
00:31:18.180 --> 00:31:20.280
THIS GUY, CHRIS DURSO, AND HIS
00:31:20.280 --> 00:31:22.140
LIFE IS COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED.
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:25.200
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THAT
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:26.130
PERSON LISTENING RIGHT NOW WHO
00:31:26.130 --> 00:31:27.160
JUST KIND OF NEEDS TO KNOW IF
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:29.100
THEIR LIFE HAS A FUTURE?
00:31:29.100 --> 00:31:32.090
- CHRIS: I'VE BEEN IN THAT
00:31:32.090 --> 00:31:33.120
PLACE WHERE I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,
00:31:33.120 --> 00:31:34.170
"GOD, YOU CAN'T USE ME.
00:31:34.170 --> 00:31:36.260
I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH."
00:31:36.260 --> 00:31:37.270
I GREW UP WITH A
00:31:37.270 --> 00:31:38.110
LEARNING DISABILITY.
00:31:38.110 --> 00:31:39.070
I WAS ON THE HIGHEST DOSE OF
00:31:39.070 --> 00:31:40.170
RITALIN, AND IT DID NOT WORK FOR
00:31:40.170 --> 00:31:41.090
ME.
00:31:41.090 --> 00:31:42.080
I HAD A STUTTERING PROBLEM, AND
00:31:42.080 --> 00:31:43.130
I HAD ALL THESE REASONS AS TO
00:31:43.130 --> 00:31:44.290
WHY I HAD NO FUTURE, AND GOD
00:31:44.290 --> 00:31:47.090
SAID, "I WANNA USE YOU
00:31:47.090 --> 00:31:48.070
REGARDLESS."
00:31:48.070 --> 00:31:49.240
AND THAT'S THE THING.
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:50.230
WE MAKE IT ABOUT US, AND IT'S
00:31:50.230 --> 00:31:51.230
IT'S ABOUT GOD BEING ABLE TO
00:31:54.140 --> 00:31:55.190
EXTRACT A GLORY FROM US, FROM
00:31:55.190 --> 00:31:56.270
OUR LIVES, AND HE'S ABLE TO DO
00:31:56.270 --> 00:31:58.020
THAT, WHICH IS WHAT HE'S AFTER.
00:31:58.020 --> 00:31:59.160
HE WANTS PRAISE.
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:01.070
HE WANTS WORSHIP.
00:32:01.070 --> 00:32:02.280
HE WANTS PEOPLE TO SEE YOU AND
00:32:02.280 --> 00:32:04.010
SEE THE GOD VALUE IN YOU, AND
00:32:04.010 --> 00:32:06.100
THAT'S WHAT WORKS FOR HIM, AND
00:32:06.100 --> 00:32:07.190
WHEN THEY SEE THAT, WHEN THEY'RE
00:32:07.190 --> 00:32:09.070
ABLE TO PULL THAT FROM YOUR
00:32:09.070 --> 00:32:11.150
LIFE, GOD IS PLEASED.
00:32:11.150 --> 00:32:12.080
SO PEOPLE ARE WAITIN' TO BECOME
00:32:12.080 --> 00:32:14.190
PERFECT 'CAUSE I KNOW THAT
00:32:14.190 --> 00:32:15.210
THEY'RE NEVER GONNA GET THERE.
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:18.070
IT'S REALIZING THAT,
00:32:18.070 --> 00:32:19.110
"REGARDLESS,
00:32:19.110 --> 00:32:20.080
I REMEMBER PRAYING ONE DAY AND
00:32:22.230 --> 00:32:24.000
THINKING TO MYSELF, "GOD, I JUST
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:25.160
AND I FELT LIKE-- I FELT THIS
00:32:29.210 --> 00:32:30.120
VOICE RESPOND TO ME AND SAY,
00:32:30.120 --> 00:32:31.080
"EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T DO WHAT I
00:32:31.080 --> 00:32:32.150
WANT, YOU'RE STILL THE ONE THAT
00:32:32.150 --> 00:32:33.080
I WANT"--
00:32:33.080 --> 00:32:35.180
- ERWIN: THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.
00:32:35.180 --> 00:32:36.170
- CHRIS: -- AND IT SHIFTED MY
00:32:36.170 --> 00:32:37.080
MIND.
00:32:37.080 --> 00:32:38.010
I REALIZED IN THAT MOMENT, "HE
00:32:38.010 --> 00:32:40.050
WANTS ME, REGARDLESS." TO THAT
00:32:40.050 --> 00:32:41.180
MAN, TO THAT WOMAN, HE WANTS
00:32:41.180 --> 00:32:42.130
YOU, REGARDLESS.
00:32:42.130 --> 00:32:43.140
HE HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE.
00:32:43.140 --> 00:32:46.070
- ERWIN: CHRIS DURSO, YOU'RE
00:32:46.070 --> 00:32:46.280
THE MAN--
00:32:46.280 --> 00:32:47.120
- CHRIS: I LOVE YOU.
00:32:47.120 --> 00:32:47.290
- ERWIN: -- AND YOU ARE SO
00:32:47.290 --> 00:32:48.280
COOL.
00:32:48.280 --> 00:32:49.240
- CHRIS: THANK YOU.
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:50.120
THANK YOU HAVIN' ME.
00:32:50.120 --> 00:32:52.030
[MUSIC]
00:32:52.030 --> 00:32:53.280
- CHRIS: I'M WHAT YOU CALL "A
00:32:53.280 --> 00:32:54.190
I'VE BEEN IN CHURCH MY ENTIRE
00:32:56.070 --> 00:32:56.280
LIFE.
00:32:56.280 --> 00:32:57.230

SERVING GOD NOW FOR THE PAST
00:33:01.150 --> 00:33:02.110
FIVE YEARS.
00:33:02.110 --> 00:33:03.270
WELL, I'M 34, AND I'VE BEEN IN

CHURCH 34 YEARS.

I'VE BEEN HERE MY ENTIRE LIFE.
00:33:08.040 --> 00:33:10.030
ANYBODY ELSE THE SAME?
00:33:10.030 --> 00:33:11.100
LIKE, YOU'VE, JUST, BEEN A
00:33:11.100 --> 00:33:12.070

00:33:12.070 --> 00:33:14.110
OKAY, WELL, THERE'S 14 OF US.
00:33:14.110 --> 00:33:15.070
[LAUGHTER]
00:33:15.070 --> 00:33:15.230
AS A CHURCH KID, WE'RE REALLY
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:20.000
DIFFERENT THAN OTHER KIDS, AND
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.140
WE'RE ACTUALLY REALLY EASY TO

[LAUGHTER]
00:33:27.290 --> 00:33:29.020
WE'RE EASY TO SPOT BECAUSE WE
00:33:29.020 --> 00:33:29.230
TALK DIFFERENT.
00:33:30.080 --> 00:33:33.080
LIKE, WE DON'T LOOK DIFFERENT,
00:33:33.080 --> 00:33:34.010
WE DON'T DRESS DIFFERENT, BUT WE
00:33:34.010 --> 00:33:35.000
TALK DIFFERENT.
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:36.220
WE SAY THINGS THAT NO OTHER KIDS
00:33:36.220 --> 00:33:38.230
OUR AGE WOULD EVER SAY.
00:33:38.230 --> 00:33:40.290
FOR INSTANCE, LET'S SAY WE'RE
00:33:40.290 --> 00:33:42.110

00:33:43.280 --> 00:33:46.280
[LAUGHTER]
00:33:46.280 --> 00:33:49.050
ON THE WAY TO THE THEATER, WE'RE

TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING WE SAW
00:33:50.050 --> 00:33:52.180
IN THE COMING ATTRACTIONS:
00:33:52.180 --> 00:33:53.170
"MAN, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE
00:33:53.170 --> 00:33:54.080
CAR CHASE.
00:33:54.080 --> 00:33:55.010
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE PRETTY

FIGHT AT THE END."
00:33:58.240 --> 00:33:59.180
WELL, WE'RE THE ONLY ONES
00:33:59.180 --> 00:34:00.100
ASKING, "WHAT'S THIS RATED?"
00:34:00.100 --> 00:34:01.160
[LAUGHTER]
00:34:01.270 --> 00:34:04.270
"IS THERE A LOT OF CURSING IN

[LAUGHTER]
00:34:20.030 --> 00:34:21.110
CHURCH KIDS-- BECAUSE WE HAD TO

THEATER THAT NO ONE ELSE HAD TO

I REMEMBER THIS ONE YEAR-- TRUE
00:34:34.070 --> 00:34:35.220
STORY.
00:34:35.220 --> 00:34:37.210
I'M STAYING OVER A FRIEND'S
00:34:37.210 --> 00:34:39.110
HOUSE.
00:34:39.110 --> 00:34:40.160
NOW, LIKE I SAID, I GREW UP IN
00:34:40.160 --> 00:34:41.170
QUEENS, AND HE LIVED IN
00:34:41.170 --> 00:34:42.240
BROOKLYN, WHICH JUST MEANS THAT
00:34:42.240 --> 00:34:44.100
OUR HOMES WERE MILES APART, AND
00:34:44.100 --> 00:34:45.190
I'M STAYING OVER THIS FRIEND'S
00:34:45.190 --> 00:34:47.130
HOUSE, AND IT IS A SMALL WORLD
00:34:47.130 --> 00:34:49.030
AFTER ALL, SO I'M NOT GONNA USE
00:34:49.030 --> 00:34:49.250
HIS REAL NAME.
00:34:49.250 --> 00:34:50.220
LET'S JUST REFER TO HIM AS
00:34:50.220 --> 00:34:51.110
"SATAN," OKAY?
00:34:51.110 --> 00:34:51.270
[LAUGHTER]
00:34:51.270 --> 00:34:53.230

00:35:06.040 --> 00:35:08.180
THIS IS WHAT WE DO.

SERMON THAT I'VE EVER HEARD
00:35:29.060 --> 00:35:30.170
ABOUT SEXUAL PURITY IS NOW

REVERBERATING THROUGH MY MIND,
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:34.120

MY GOODNESS, I HAVE TO FLEE FROM
00:35:36.170 --> 00:35:37.190
SEXUAL IMMORALITY.

WILL DIE.
00:35:50.170 --> 00:35:52.010
THE MORE I START TO THINK ABOUT
00:35:57.050 --> 00:35:58.250

A DASH OUT THE DOOR,
00:36:34.260 --> 00:36:36.140
THE PHONE RINGS AT 3 A.M.,

00:39:28.160 --> 00:39:30.000
ANYBODY IN THIS ROOM WITH THAT

KIND OF CONCERN OR THOUGHT, YOU
00:39:31.250 --> 00:39:34.070
HAVE A VERY FAULTY UNDERSTANDING

THAT HE SEES YOU.
00:39:39.230 --> 00:39:41.170

GOTTA KNOW ABOUT OUR GOD.
00:39:42.120 --> 00:39:43.160
OUR GOD IS NOT AN ANGRY GOD.
00:39:43.160 --> 00:39:44.240
OUR GOD IS NOT A MEAN GOD.
00:39:44.240 --> 00:39:46.070
HE'S NOT A GOD THAT'S UPSET WITH
00:39:46.070 --> 00:39:47.080
THIS WORLD.
00:39:47.080 --> 00:39:49.000
WE HAVE A GOD THAT IS SO MADLY
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:51.020
IN LOVE WITH THIS WORLD THAT HE
00:39:51.020 --> 00:39:52.240
SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON-- AND
00:39:52.240 --> 00:39:55.010
HIS NAME IS JESUS-- SO THAT HE
00:39:55.010 --> 00:39:57.040
COULD STAND IN OUR PLACE AND DIE
00:39:57.040 --> 00:40:00.020

00:40:00.020 --> 00:40:01.150
TO DIE.
00:40:01.150 --> 00:40:03.050
SO IS HE MAD AT YOU?
00:40:03.050 --> 00:40:04.020
NO, HE'S NOT MAD AT YOU.
00:40:04.020 --> 00:40:05.080
HE'S MAD ABOUT YOU.
00:40:05.080 --> 00:40:06.020
HE'S MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU.
00:40:06.020 --> 00:40:07.230
WHEN HE LOOKS AT YOU, HE LOOKS
00:40:07.230 --> 00:40:09.070
AT YOU AS HIS CHILD.

00:40:14.100 --> 00:40:15.200
HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE'S

THE REASON WHY I WANNA STRESS
00:40:25.090 --> 00:40:27.160
THAT THIS MORNING IS BECAUSE I
00:40:27.160 --> 00:40:30.030
IMAGINE THE PERSON THAT'S

YOU'VE DONE, REGARDLESS OF THE

SAME MISTAKE OVER AND OVER AND
00:40:52.220 --> 00:40:55.220
OVER AGAIN BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES
00:40:55.220 --> 00:40:58.100
TO THE GRACE OF GOD, IT'S NOT A
00:40:58.100 --> 00:41:00.030
LICENSE TO DO BAD OR TO SIN, BUT
00:41:02.180 --> 00:41:05.180
IT IS THE FREEDOM TO BE FORGIVEN
00:41:05.180 --> 00:41:08.050
EACH AND EVERY TIME WE DO.
00:41:10.190 --> 00:41:13.190
TODAY I WANNA ENCOURAGE YOU TO
00:41:13.190 --> 00:41:16.020
STEP INTO WHATEVER IT IS THAT
00:41:16.020 --> 00:41:17.280
GOD HAS FOR YOU 'CAUSE HERE'S
00:41:18.070 --> 00:41:21.070
WHAT I KNOW ABOUT GOD: EVEN WHEN
00:41:21.070 --> 00:41:23.270
WE DON'T DO WHAT HE WANTS, WE
00:41:23.270 --> 00:41:25.270
ARE STILL THE ONE THAT HE WANTS.
00:41:25.270 --> 00:41:28.080
EVEN WHEN WE MAKE MISTAKES, EVEN
00:41:28.080 --> 00:41:29.190
WHEN WE MESS UP, HE SAYS, "I

THE CALLING THAT I HAVE FOR YOU
00:41:39.190 --> 00:41:41.020
BECAUSE THE FACT OF THE MATTER
00:41:41.020 --> 00:41:42.100
IS YOU WERE DESTINED BEFORE YOU
00:41:42.100 --> 00:41:44.170
WERE BORN AND WILL NOT BE
00:41:44.170 --> 00:41:45.240
DISMISSED BECAUSE OF A BAD
00:41:45.240 --> 00:41:46.130
DECISION."

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
00:41:47.180 --> 00:41:49.030
IN THE BOOK OF ROMANS 11:2, THE
00:41:49.030 --> 00:41:50.220
IT SAYS IT THIS WAY.
00:41:54.140 --> 00:41:55.000
I LOVE IT.
00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:55.270
IT GOES ON TO SAY, IT SAYS, "GOD
00:41:55.270 --> 00:41:57.230
HAS NOT REJECTED AND DISOWNED

HIS PEOPLE, WHOSE DESTINY HE HAD
00:41:59.260 --> 00:42:00.200
MARKED OUT AND APPOINTED AND

00:42:11.200 --> 00:42:12.140
THAT WORD "FOREKNOWN"
00:42:12.140 --> 00:42:13.160
IT'S SO WEIGHTY.
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:17.130
IT'S BASICALLY IMPLYING THAT
00:42:17.130 --> 00:42:19.010
EVERY MISTAKE WE WOULD EVER
00:42:19.010 --> 00:42:20.110
AND HE KNEW THAT BEFORE HE
00:42:22.240 --> 00:42:23.130
CREATED YOU.
00:42:23.130 --> 00:42:24.110
HE'S AWARE OF THE SINS THAT
00:42:24.110 --> 00:42:25.240
YOU'RE AWARE OF, AND HE'S AWARE
00:42:25.240 --> 00:42:27.060
OF THE SINS THAT YOU HAVEN'T
00:42:27.060 --> 00:42:28.030
EVEN COMMITTED YET.

HE'S AWARE OF THE MISTAKES THAT
00:42:29.070 --> 00:42:30.060
YOU'VE MADE, AND HE'S AWARE OF
00:42:30.060 --> 00:42:31.070
THE BIG MESS-UPS THAT YOU'VE
00:42:31.070 --> 00:42:33.030
NEVER TOLD A SOUL.
00:42:33.030 --> 00:42:34.060
HE'S AWARE OF IT ALL, AND GUESS
00:42:34.060 --> 00:42:35.100
WHAT?
00:42:35.100 --> 00:42:36.020
HE STILL CALLED YOU.
00:42:36.020 --> 00:42:37.090
HE STILL DESTINED YOU.
00:42:37.090 --> 00:42:38.150
SO, FOR THE ONE THAT'S TRYING,
00:42:41.140 --> 00:42:42.230
THAT'S FEELING LIKE IT'S
00:42:42.230 --> 00:42:44.150
DIFFICULT TO RECEIVE WHAT'S
00:42:44.150 --> 00:42:45.070
HAPPENING IN THIS PLACE-- THEN I
00:42:45.120 --> 00:42:48.120
SUGGEST TO YOU, YOU DON'T FULLY

UNDERSTAND YET HOW MUCH IT IS
00:42:50.090 --> 00:42:51.280
THAT THIS GOD LOVES YOU AND THE
00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:54.180
LIFE THAT HE WANTS YOU TO LIVE.
00:42:54.180 --> 00:42:56.250
I'LL BE CELEBRATING 12 YEARS OF
00:43:01.090 --> 00:43:02.010

00:43:02.010 --> 00:43:04.020
ABSOLUTELY.
00:43:07.150 --> 00:43:08.000
I KNOW.
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:08.130
SHE'S LUCKY.

00:43:16.010 --> 00:43:16.260
DAUGHTER, NAMED CHLOE, AND TO BE
00:43:16.260 --> 00:43:18.240
HONEST, THEY'RE OUR WORLD.
00:43:18.240 --> 00:43:20.050
WE LOVE THEM, AND WE'RE SO
00:43:20.050 --> 00:43:21.080
GRATEFUL FOR THEM, AND THEY'RE
00:43:21.080 --> 00:43:22.150
AMAZING-- WELL, NOT ALWAYS ALL
00:43:22.150 --> 00:43:25.000
THE TIME.
00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:27.240
IN FACT, THIS ONE TIME, JUST A
00:43:27.240 --> 00:43:28.290
FEW MONTHS AGO, I WAS PUTTIN' MY
00:43:28.290 --> 00:43:31.100
KIDS TO BED, AND DYLAN SAYS,
00:43:31.100 --> 00:43:33.250
"DAD, CAN I JUST STAY UP A
00:43:33.250 --> 00:43:35.060
LITTLE WHILE LONGER AND WATCH
00:43:35.060 --> 00:43:36.120
ONE MORE SHOW?"
00:43:36.120 --> 00:43:38.190
AND I SAID, "NO, SON, YOU GOT
00:43:38.190 --> 00:43:39.160
SCHOOL IN THE MORNING.
00:43:39.160 --> 00:43:41.030
I LOVE YOU.
00:43:41.030 --> 00:43:42.040
IT'S TIME TO GO TO BED.
00:43:42.040 --> 00:43:42.250
GOOD NIGHT."
00:43:42.250 --> 00:43:44.010
I GO TO BED, MYSELF,
00:43:44.010 --> 00:43:45.110
ONLY TO WAKE UP A FEW HOURS
00:43:45.110 --> 00:43:46.200
LATER TO THE SOUND OF THE
00:43:46.200 --> 00:43:48.040
TELEVISION COMING FROM DYLAN'S
00:43:48.040 --> 00:43:50.060
ROOM.
00:43:50.060 --> 00:43:51.170
I WALK ON OVER TO DYLAN'S ROOM,
00:43:51.170 --> 00:43:52.200
AND THERE BEFORE ME IS MY BABY
00:43:52.200 --> 00:43:53.290
BOY, LAID OUT ON THE BED WITH NO
00:43:53.290 --> 00:43:56.080
SHIRT ON AND HIS HANDS BEHIND
00:43:56.080 --> 00:43:58.000
HIS HEAD LIKE A BOSS, OKAY?
00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:00.120
[LAUGHTER]
00:44:00.120 --> 00:44:02.260
THIS KID HAD THE FAN ON AND THE
00:44:02.260 --> 00:44:03.250
AIR-CONDITIONING ON-- LIKE HE
00:44:03.250 --> 00:44:05.010
PAYS BILLS, YOU KNOW?
00:44:05.010 --> 00:44:07.030
[LAUGHTER]
00:44:07.030 --> 00:44:09.060
I WALK IN THE ROOM, AND I GO,
00:44:09.060 --> 00:44:10.070
"DYLAN, WHAT'RE YOU DOING?
00:44:10.070 --> 00:44:11.060
I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO GO TO
00:44:11.060 --> 00:44:12.200
BED."
00:44:12.200 --> 00:44:13.220
WELL, IMMEDIATELY, HE ROLLS
00:44:13.220 --> 00:44:14.190
OUT THE BED.
00:44:14.190 --> 00:44:15.250
HE FALLS ON THE FLOOR.
00:44:15.250 --> 00:44:16.280
HE GETS ON HIS KNEES, AND HE
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:18.130
GOES, "FATHER, FORGIVETH ME.
00:44:19.210 --> 00:44:22.210
[LAUGHTER]
00:44:22.210 --> 00:44:24.040
DO NOT CASTETH ME OUT OF YOUR
00:44:24.040 --> 00:44:25.170
PRESENCE!"
00:44:25.170 --> 00:44:27.200
I GOT SO FRUSTRATED.
00:44:27.200 --> 00:44:28.200
I SAID, "DYLAN, NO MORE
00:44:28.200 --> 00:44:29.220
SHAKESPEARE FOR YOU."
00:44:29.220 --> 00:44:31.060
[LAUGHTER]
00:44:31.060 --> 00:44:32.120
RIGHT AWAY, I PICK HIM UP.
00:44:32.120 --> 00:44:35.000
I SAID, "SON, I LOVE YOU, AND I
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:36.250
FORGIVE YOU, BUT IT'S TIME TO GO
00:44:36.250 --> 00:44:37.220
TO BED."
00:44:37.220 --> 00:44:40.040
WHAT WAS AMAZING WAS, JUST A
00:44:40.040 --> 00:44:42.130
SECOND AGO, HE WAS CRYING, NOT
00:44:42.130 --> 00:44:45.000
LIKE LITTLE TEARS.
00:44:46.010 --> 00:44:49.010
I'M TALKING ABOUT CRYING, LIKE
00:44:49.010 --> 00:44:51.030
BOYZ II MEN, "END OF THE ROAD"
00:44:55.140 --> 00:44:57.090
CRYING, OKAY?
00:44:57.090 --> 00:44:57.280
I MEAN, HE WAS CRYING.
00:44:57.280 --> 00:44:59.120
WHY IS THIS MY MOVEMENT FOR
00:44:59.120 --> 00:45:01.090
CRYING?
00:45:01.090 --> 00:45:02.020
I DON'T KNOW.
00:45:02.020 --> 00:45:03.040
[LAUGHTER]
00:45:03.040 --> 00:45:05.100
SORRY.
00:45:05.220 --> 00:45:08.220
[LAUGHTER]
00:45:09.220 --> 00:45:12.220
HE'S CRYING.
00:45:12.220 --> 00:45:14.120
LIKE, HE WENT FROM CRYING TO NOT
00:45:20.020 --> 00:45:22.130
CRYING, AND NOT ONLY "NOT
00:45:22.130 --> 00:45:23.040
CRYING."
00:45:23.040 --> 00:45:24.140
HE HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE,
00:45:24.140 --> 00:45:25.140
LIKE, "WHAT?"
00:45:25.250 --> 00:45:28.250
BUT THE TRUTH IS, AS A CHILD,
00:45:28.250 --> 00:45:31.020
DYLAN HAS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING
00:45:31.020 --> 00:45:33.280
OF FORGIVENESS THAN MOST
00:45:34.020 --> 00:45:37.020
CHRISTIANS I KNOW.
00:45:37.020 --> 00:45:39.080
HE UNDERSTANDS THAT THE MOMENT
00:45:39.080 --> 00:45:40.270
HE SAYS HE'S SORRY, HE'S
00:45:40.270 --> 00:45:41.150
FORGIVEN.
00:45:41.150 --> 00:45:42.250
THE MOMENT HE APOLOGIZES,
00:45:42.250 --> 00:45:44.000
THERE'S NO MORE NEED FOR HIM TO
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:44.280
CRY, THERE'S NO NEED FOR HIM TO
00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:46.100
BE SOMBER, THERE'S NO NEED FOR
00:45:46.100 --> 00:45:48.010
HIM TO BE SAD.
00:45:48.010 --> 00:45:48.290
WHY?
00:45:48.290 --> 00:45:50.030
BECAUSE HE'S FORGIVEN, AND I
00:45:50.030 --> 00:45:51.230
JUST WISH THERE WAS SOMEBODY IN
00:45:51.230 --> 00:45:52.150
THE ROOM THIS MORNING THAT
00:45:52.150 --> 00:45:53.120
UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU ARE
00:45:53.120 --> 00:45:55.150
FORGIVEN, AND BECAUSE YOU'RE
00:45:55.150 --> 00:45:56.180
FORGIVEN, GUESS WHAT?
00:45:56.180 --> 00:45:58.000
YOU GET TO LIVE LIKE YOU'RE
00:45:58.000 --> 00:45:58.270
FORGIVEN.
00:45:58.270 --> 00:45:59.260
YOU GET TO WORSHIP LIKE YOU'RE
00:45:59.260 --> 00:46:00.230
FORGIVEN.
00:46:00.230 --> 00:46:01.290
YOU GET TO STAND LIKE YOU'RE
00:46:01.290 --> 00:46:02.200
FORGIVEN.
00:46:02.200 --> 00:46:03.210
YOU GET TO RECEIVE LIKE YOU'RE
00:46:03.210 --> 00:46:04.230
FORGIVEN.
00:46:04.230 --> 00:46:06.000
YOU GET TO BE PURPOSED LIKE
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:07.100
YOU'RE FORGIVEN.
00:46:07.100 --> 00:46:07.290
WHY?
00:46:07.290 --> 00:46:08.140
BECAUSE "WHOM THE SON SETS FREE
00:46:08.140 --> 00:46:09.280
IS FREE INDEED," AND WHEN YOU'RE
00:46:09.280 --> 00:46:11.280
FREE, YOU OPERATE IN THAT
00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:13.290
FREEDOM, AND YOU TALK IN THAT
00:46:13.290 --> 00:46:15.210
FREEDOM, AND YOU SPEAK IN THAT
00:46:15.210 --> 00:46:17.120
FREEDOM, AND YOU LEAD IN THAT
00:46:17.120 --> 00:46:19.010
FREEDOM.
00:46:19.010 --> 00:46:20.070
ARE THERE ANY FREE PEOPLE IN THE
00:46:20.070 --> 00:46:21.160
ROOM THIS MORNING?
00:46:21.160 --> 00:46:22.290
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
00:46:22.290 --> 00:46:25.060
WE'RE FREE.
00:46:25.060 --> 00:46:27.160
AND BECAUSE I'M FREE, I OPERATE
00:46:27.160 --> 00:46:28.080
THERE'S THIS VERSE WHERE IT
00:46:33.250 --> 00:46:35.250
SAYS, "NO EYE HAS SEEN, NO EAR
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:38.280
HAS HEARD WHAT GOD HAS--" THAT,
00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:41.120
RIGHT THERE, THE "WHAT GOD HAS,"
00:46:41.120 --> 00:46:43.150
THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL THE
00:46:43.150 --> 00:46:44.070
UNKNOWN.
00:46:44.070 --> 00:46:45.040
WHY?
00:46:45.040 --> 00:46:46.040
BECAUSE NO EYE HAS SEEN IT, AND
00:46:46.040 --> 00:46:47.020
NO EAR HAS HEARD OF IT.
00:46:47.020 --> 00:46:49.080
"NO EYE HAS SEEN, NO EAR HAS
00:46:49.080 --> 00:46:51.050
HEARD WHAT IT IS THAT GOD HAS
00:46:51.050 --> 00:46:53.200
SOME OF YOU ARE ARGUING THE
00:47:00.090 --> 00:47:01.150
FACT, "GOD, I CAN'T STEP INTO
00:47:01.150 --> 00:47:02.120
THIS UNKNOWN.
00:47:02.120 --> 00:47:03.050
I CAN'T STEP INTO THIS PURPOSE.
00:47:03.050 --> 00:47:04.170
I CAN'T STEP INTO THIS DESTINY.
00:47:04.170 --> 00:47:06.120
I'VE MESSED UP TOO MUCH."
00:47:06.120 --> 00:47:08.000
AND WHAT YOU DON'T GET,
00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:09.020
IT'S NOT ABOUT HOW MUCH
00:47:09.020 --> 00:47:10.200
YOU'VE MESSED UP.
00:47:10.200 --> 00:47:12.290
IT'S ABOUT HOW MUCH HE LOVES YOU
00:47:12.290 --> 00:47:13.280
AND YOU LOVE HIM, AND IF YOU
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:16.050
LOVE HIM, THEN YOU OBEY HIM.
00:47:17.060 --> 00:47:20.060
IF YOU LOVE HIM, YOU FOLLOW HIM.
00:47:20.060 --> 00:47:22.060
IF YOU LOVE HIM, YOU ACCEPT THE
00:47:22.060 --> 00:47:24.250
FACT THAT HE LOVES YOU IN A
00:47:24.250 --> 00:47:26.080
COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS,
00:47:26.080 --> 00:47:28.240
INCREDIBLE WAY THAT MAN OR WOMAN
00:47:30.060 --> 00:47:33.060
WON'T EVER BE ABLE TO FULLY
00:47:33.060 --> 00:47:35.260
COMPUTE AND UNDERSTAND.
00:47:37.090 --> 00:47:40.090
I THINK OFTEN WE THINK THAT,
00:47:40.090 --> 00:47:41.180
WHEN WE'RE IN MOMENTS LIKE THIS,
00:47:41.180 --> 00:47:43.090
THAT GOD MIGHT BE EMBARRASSED BY
00:47:43.090 --> 00:47:44.240
US OR ANNOYED WITH US.
00:47:44.240 --> 00:47:47.150
YOU KNOW, I THINK OF THIS STORY
00:47:47.150 --> 00:47:48.290
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT OF A MAN
00:47:48.290 --> 00:47:51.090
ZACCHAEUS IS A TAX COLLECTOR,
00:47:54.240 --> 00:47:56.100
AND IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
00:47:56.100 --> 00:47:57.180
THEY WERE ALLOWED BY THE
00:47:59.250 --> 00:48:01.020
GOVERNMENT-- THE GOVERNMENT
00:48:01.020 --> 00:48:02.200
WOULD TURN A BLIND EYE TO THEIR
00:48:02.200 --> 00:48:04.060
DEALINGS BECAUSE THEY WOULD
00:48:04.060 --> 00:48:05.270
ALWAYS OVERTAX THE PEOPLE ON THE
00:48:05.270 --> 00:48:07.100
LAND THAT THEY WERE LIVING IN.
00:48:07.100 --> 00:48:08.180
THEY WOULD KEEP THAT MONEY FOR
00:48:08.180 --> 00:48:09.220
AND THAT'S WHO ZACCHAEUS IS.
00:48:12.170 --> 00:48:13.070
HE ROBS PEOPLE, AND THE
00:48:13.070 --> 00:48:14.250
GOVERNMENT'S OKAY WITH IT.
00:48:14.250 --> 00:48:16.270
ONE DAY, HE HEARS THAT JESUS IS
00:48:16.270 --> 00:48:17.220
COMING TO TOWN TO TEACH, SO HE
00:48:17.220 --> 00:48:19.150
SAYS, "AH, I WANNA CHECK THIS
00:48:19.150 --> 00:48:21.220
GUY OUT."
00:48:21.220 --> 00:48:22.180
BUT BECAUSE HE'S SHORT, WHICH
00:48:22.180 --> 00:48:24.040
I FEEL BAD FOR HIM FOR, BECAUSE,
00:48:24.040 --> 00:48:26.010
OBVIOUSLY, I COULD RELATE.
00:48:26.010 --> 00:48:27.040
[LAUGHTER]
00:48:31.030 --> 00:48:33.210
HE SAYS, "I WANNA GO AND SEE
00:48:33.210 --> 00:48:35.150
WHAT THIS JESUS IS ABOUT."
00:48:35.150 --> 00:48:37.110
AND I'M NOT REALLY SURE
00:48:37.110 --> 00:48:38.130
IF HE WAS LOOKING TO CONNECT
00:48:38.130 --> 00:48:39.260
WITH JESUS,
00:48:39.260 --> 00:48:40.290
BUT HE REALLY JUST WANTED TO
00:48:40.290 --> 00:48:41.190
OBSERVE JESUS.
00:48:41.190 --> 00:48:42.270
SO HE CLIMBS THIS TREE SO
00:48:42.270 --> 00:48:43.200
THAT HE COULD WATCH HIM
00:48:43.200 --> 00:48:44.190
AT A DISTANCE.
00:48:44.190 --> 00:48:45.260
WELL, BEFORE JESUS EVER STARTS
00:48:45.260 --> 00:48:48.130
TO TEACH, HE STARTS TO TEACH.
00:48:48.130 --> 00:48:51.060
HE WALKED STRAIGHT UP TO THE
00:48:51.060 --> 00:48:52.210
TREE WHERE ZACCHAEUS IS, AND HE
00:48:52.210 --> 00:48:53.280
CALLS HIS NAME, WHICH HAD TO
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:55.160
FREAK ZACCHAEUS OUT, IF WE'RE
00:48:55.160 --> 00:48:57.100
BEING HONEST.
00:48:57.100 --> 00:48:58.150
LIKE, HE KNOWS THAT THEY DON'T
00:48:58.150 --> 00:48:59.210
KNOW EACH OTHER, AND HE'S HEARD
00:48:59.210 --> 00:49:01.000
OF JESUS, BUT THERE'S NO WAY
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:02.040
THAT JESUS HAS HEARD OF HIM, AND
00:49:02.040 --> 00:49:04.020
HE'S THINKING TO HIMSELF, "MAYBE
00:49:04.020 --> 00:49:05.230
HE DIDN'T SAY MY NAME.
00:49:05.230 --> 00:49:08.030
MAYBE HE SAID SOMEBODY ELSE'S
00:49:08.030 --> 00:49:09.010
NAME, AND IF I LOOK NOW, I'M A
00:49:09.010 --> 00:49:10.120
LOOK STUPID, YOU KNOW, LIKE
00:49:10.120 --> 00:49:11.020
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, ALL OVER
00:49:11.020 --> 00:49:11.290
AGAIN.
00:49:11.290 --> 00:49:12.160
HE DIDN'T SAY MY NAME.
00:49:12.160 --> 00:49:13.210
HE PROBABLY SAID 'ZENA' OR
00:49:13.210 --> 00:49:15.090
'ZEUS,' OR 'ZENIQUA,' YOU KNOW."
00:49:15.220 --> 00:49:18.220
[LAUGHTER]
00:49:18.220 --> 00:49:20.180
HE GOES, "ZACCHAEUS, COME DOWN
00:49:20.180 --> 00:49:21.190
FROM THE TREE.
00:49:21.190 --> 00:49:24.100
I WANNA COME OVER YOUR HOUSE FOR
00:49:24.100 --> 00:49:25.020
DINNER-- WHICH, A SIDE NOTE,
00:49:25.090 --> 00:49:28.090
DOES ANYBODY HERE HAVE A FRIEND
00:49:28.090 --> 00:49:29.010
THAT INVITES THEMSELVES OVER FOR
00:49:29.010 --> 00:49:30.010
DINNER?
00:49:30.010 --> 00:49:31.000
[LAUGHTER]
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:31.290
MAN, IF YOU'RE NOT LAUGHING,
00:49:31.290 --> 00:49:33.020
IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU ARE
00:49:33.020 --> 00:49:34.010
THAT FRIEND--
00:49:34.010 --> 00:49:36.230
[LAUGHTER]
00:49:36.230 --> 00:49:37.250
-- WHICH IS FINE BECAUSE YOU'RE
00:49:37.250 --> 00:49:39.160
LIKE JESUS SO--
00:49:39.160 --> 00:49:40.200
[LAUGHTER]
00:49:40.200 --> 00:49:41.080
-- BUT JESUS INVITES HIMSELF
00:49:41.080 --> 00:49:41.280
OVER, AND, NOW, WE DON'T KNOW
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:44.150
WHAT HAPPENS AT THAT DINNER
00:49:44.150 --> 00:49:45.230
PARTY 'CAUSE THE BIBLE DOESN'T
00:49:45.230 --> 00:49:47.050
DESCRIBE, BUT WE CAN USE OUR
00:49:47.050 --> 00:49:48.180
CREATIVE LICENSE HERE AND JUST
00:49:48.180 --> 00:49:50.020
IMAGINE, LIKE, WHAT DID THAT
00:49:50.020 --> 00:49:51.200
MOMENT LOOK LIKE AS JESUS,
00:49:51.200 --> 00:49:53.030
SITTING AT THE TABLE, AND
00:49:53.030 --> 00:49:55.140
ZACCHAEUS IS AT THE TABLE.
00:49:55.140 --> 00:49:56.290
WHO ELSE IS AT THE TABLE?
00:49:56.290 --> 00:49:57.290
BECAUSE "BIRDS OF A FEATHER
00:49:57.290 --> 00:49:58.270
FLOCK TOGETHER," SO I'M SURE
00:49:58.270 --> 00:50:00.070
ZACCHAEUS INVITES PEOPLE THAT
00:50:00.070 --> 00:50:01.250
ARE JUST LIKE HIM, AND I COULD
00:50:01.250 --> 00:50:03.060
IMAGINE ALL THE INSECURITY
00:50:03.060 --> 00:50:04.270
RUNNING THROUGH THE MIND OF
00:50:04.270 --> 00:50:05.260
ZACCHAEUS, LIKE, "WHY WOULD YOU
00:50:05.270 --> 00:50:08.270
WANNA COME TO MY HOUSE?
00:50:08.270 --> 00:50:11.160
WHY WOULD YOU WANNA BE HERE?
00:50:11.160 --> 00:50:12.120
DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
00:50:12.120 --> 00:50:13.050
DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE?
00:50:13.050 --> 00:50:14.190
DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT I DO FOR A
00:50:14.190 --> 00:50:15.260
LIVING?
00:50:15.260 --> 00:50:16.120
I'M A ROBBER, AND I'M A THIEF."
00:50:16.120 --> 00:50:18.000
BUT THEN I COULD IMAGINE WHAT'S
00:50:18.060 --> 00:50:21.060
RUNNING THROUGH THE MIND OF
00:50:21.060 --> 00:50:22.290
JESUS AS HE'S LISTENING IN ON
00:50:22.290 --> 00:50:24.120
THE THOUGHTS OF ZACCHAEUS,
00:50:24.120 --> 00:50:25.220
'CAUSE HE CAN DO THAT, YOU KNOW.
00:50:25.220 --> 00:50:27.130
IMAGINE WHAT HE'S THINKING,
00:50:27.130 --> 00:50:28.230
LIKE, "ZACCHAEUS, YOU DON'T
00:50:28.230 --> 00:50:29.230
THINK I KNOW WHO YOU ARE?
00:50:29.230 --> 00:50:31.000
I KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE.
00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:32.140
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
00:50:32.140 --> 00:50:33.270
I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU LIVE.
00:50:33.270 --> 00:50:35.110
I KNOW THAT YOU STEAL FROM
00:50:35.110 --> 00:50:37.010
PEOPLE.
00:50:37.010 --> 00:50:38.180
I KNOW YOU ROB PEOPLE, BUT THE
00:50:38.180 --> 00:50:39.290
TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS YOU'RE
00:50:39.290 --> 00:50:40.290
ACTUALLY NOT EVEN THAT GOOD OF A
00:50:40.290 --> 00:50:41.210
ROBBER.
00:50:41.210 --> 00:50:43.170
YOU'RE A SMALL-TIME CROOK.
00:50:43.170 --> 00:50:44.290
YOU'RE A PETTY THIEF.
00:50:44.290 --> 00:50:46.140
IN FACT, IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO
00:50:46.140 --> 00:50:47.260
LEARN HOW TO ROB SOMEONE, YOU
00:50:47.260 --> 00:50:49.010
WOULD WATCH ME BECAUSE I'M ABOUT
00:50:49.010 --> 00:50:51.120
TO PULL OFF THE GREATEST HEIST
00:50:51.120 --> 00:50:52.280
IN HISTORY.
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:55.020
I'M ABOUT TO ROB DEATH OF ITS
00:50:55.020 --> 00:50:55.260
STING.
00:50:55.260 --> 00:50:57.140
I'M ABOUT TO ROB THE GRAVE OF
00:50:57.140 --> 00:50:58.190
ME.
00:50:58.190 --> 00:51:00.070
I'M ABOUT TO ROB ALL HUMANITY OF
00:51:00.070 --> 00:51:01.240
THEIR SIN, PAST, PRESENT, AND
00:51:01.240 --> 00:51:04.050
FUTURE.
00:51:04.050 --> 00:51:05.180
ZACCHAEUS, YOU DON'T THINK I
00:51:05.180 --> 00:51:06.150
KNOW WHO YOU ARE?
00:51:06.150 --> 00:51:07.170
I KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE, AND
00:51:07.170 --> 00:51:09.060
YOU'RE THE EXACT REASON WHY I
00:51:09.060 --> 00:51:10.120
SHOWED UP.
00:51:10.120 --> 00:51:12.060
SO, ZACCHAEUS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO
00:51:12.060 --> 00:51:13.150
CLIMB A TREE TO WATCH ME AT A
00:51:13.150 --> 00:51:15.160
DISTANCE BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO
00:51:15.160 --> 00:51:17.040
CLIMB A TREE MYSELF THAT'S GONNA
00:51:17.040 --> 00:51:19.000
DESTROY THIS DIVIDE.
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:20.260
OH, ZACCHAEUS, I'M NOT
00:51:20.260 --> 00:51:23.190
EMBARRASSED OF YOU.
00:51:23.190 --> 00:51:24.260
I'M NOT TURNED OFF BY YOU.
00:51:24.260 --> 00:51:26.140
I AM NOT REPELLED BY YOU.
00:51:26.140 --> 00:51:28.040
IN FACT, IT'S THE OPPOSITE.
00:51:28.040 --> 00:51:29.160
I'VE BEEN COMPELLED TO YOU.
00:51:29.160 --> 00:51:31.050
YOU'RE THE EXACT REASON WHY I
00:51:31.050 --> 00:51:33.240
CAME.
00:51:33.240 --> 00:51:35.220
WE ARE THE EXACT REASON WHY HE
00:51:35.220 --> 00:51:37.020
CAME, AND BECAUSE HE CAME, WE
00:51:37.020 --> 00:51:39.230
JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT THE FACT
00:51:40.040 --> 00:51:43.040
THAT HE DID AND WHO HE IS AND
00:51:43.220 --> 00:51:46.220
WHAT THAT MEANS BECAUSE, IF YOU
00:51:46.220 --> 00:51:48.230
ACCEPT IT, IT WILL CHANGE
00:51:48.230 --> 00:51:49.150
EVERYTHING.
00:51:49.150 --> 00:51:51.010
YOU WILL GO FROM STRIVING TO
00:51:51.010 --> 00:51:52.020
LIVING.
00:51:52.020 --> 00:51:53.160
YOU WILL GO FROM REFUSING TO
00:51:53.160 --> 00:51:55.080
WALKING.
00:51:55.080 --> 00:51:56.220
YOU WILL GO FROM YOUR MUNDANE,
00:51:56.220 --> 00:51:59.090
EVERYDAY LIFE, TO OPERATING INTO
00:51:59.090 --> 00:52:01.060
THE UNKNOWN, AND TOMORROW IS THE
00:52:01.060 --> 00:52:02.220
UNKNOWN, AND THEN NEXT WEEK IS
00:52:02.220 --> 00:52:04.230
THE UNKNOWN BECAUSE I WANNA GO
00:52:04.230 --> 00:52:06.120
WHEREVER IT IS THAT GOD WANTS ME
00:52:06.120 --> 00:52:08.160
TO GO AND DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT
00:52:08.160 --> 00:52:10.170
HE WANTS ME TO DO, AND THE FACT
00:52:10.170 --> 00:52:12.020
OF THE MATTER IS THERE ARE
00:52:12.020 --> 00:52:13.160
PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM-- IT IS SO
00:52:13.190 --> 00:52:16.190
DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO RECEIVE
00:52:16.190 --> 00:52:18.100
THIS MESSAGE BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE
00:52:18.100 --> 00:52:20.090
IT'S FOR EVERYBODY ELSE BUT YOU.
00:52:20.090 --> 00:52:22.060
IT'S FUNNY HOW NARCISSISTIC WE
00:52:22.060 --> 00:52:23.000
COULD BE.
00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:25.090
IT'S FOR EVERYBODY ELSE BUT US,
00:52:25.090 --> 00:52:27.250
WHICH IS WHY WE TRY TO PROVE
00:52:27.250 --> 00:52:28.290
OURSELVES TO GOD.
00:52:28.290 --> 00:52:30.120
WE TRY TO WORK FOR ACCEPTANCE,
00:52:30.120 --> 00:52:32.220
AND WE TRY TO MEMORIZE
00:52:32.220 --> 00:52:35.000
SCRIPTURES, AND WE GIVE IN THE
00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:35.210
OFFERING, AND WE SHOW UP TO
00:52:35.210 --> 00:52:36.180
CONFERENCES, AND WE BUY THE
00:52:36.180 --> 00:52:37.200
MERCH.
00:52:37.200 --> 00:52:39.110
AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH
00:52:39.110 --> 00:52:40.200
ANY OF THOSE THINGS WHEN THEY'RE
00:52:40.200 --> 00:52:42.020
DONE IN LOVE, NOT WHEN THEY'RE
00:52:42.020 --> 00:52:44.090
DONE IN LAW.
00:52:44.090 --> 00:52:46.250
WE FIND OURSELVES HOPING THAT WE
00:52:46.250 --> 00:52:48.170
SO WE WORK UNTIL WE FEEL IT, BUT
00:52:51.220 --> 00:52:52.280
THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS YOU
00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:54.030
DON'T HAVE TO WORK FOR THE GRACE
00:52:54.030 --> 00:52:55.050
BECAUSE THE CROSS,
00:52:57.290 --> 00:52:59.140
IT WORKED THE GRACE OF GOD.
00:52:59.140 --> 00:53:00.060
IT IGNITED THE GRACE OF GOD, AND
00:53:00.060 --> 00:53:01.050
IT RELEASED IT FOR ALL OF
00:53:01.050 --> 00:53:02.080
HUMANITY.
00:53:05.250 --> 00:53:08.250
- CHRIS: WOULD YOU CLOSE YOUR
00:53:08.250 --> 00:53:11.010
EYES AND MAYBE, IF YOU WOULDN'T
00:53:11.010 --> 00:53:12.230
MIND, JUST PUTTING YOUR HANDS
00:53:12.230 --> 00:53:14.250
OUT WITH YOUR PALMS UP?
00:53:14.250 --> 00:53:16.150
IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING OTHER
00:53:16.150 --> 00:53:18.130
THAN YOU WANNA ACCEPT WHAT IT IS
00:53:18.130 --> 00:53:19.140
THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU.
00:53:19.140 --> 00:53:22.090
LET ME PRAY OVER YOU.
00:53:22.090 --> 00:53:24.270
ROMANS 12 TALKS ABOUT A RENEWING
00:53:24.270 --> 00:53:25.210
OF THE MIND.
00:53:25.210 --> 00:53:27.280
I BELIEVE, IN THIS MOMENT,
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:28.170
THAT'S ALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
00:53:28.170 --> 00:53:30.230
OUR MINDS NEED TO BE RENEWED SO
00:53:30.230 --> 00:53:31.270
THAT WE STOP SEEING US HOW WE
00:53:31.270 --> 00:53:33.280
SEE US, AND WE COULD ACCEPT HOW
00:53:33.280 --> 00:53:36.020
IT IS THAT GOD SEES US.
00:53:36.020 --> 00:53:38.170
FATHER, WE STAND IN YOUR
00:53:38.170 --> 00:53:39.290
PRESENCE NOW.
00:53:39.290 --> 00:53:41.270
WE TELL YOU THAT WE LOVE YOU.
00:53:41.270 --> 00:53:44.170
WE'RE SORRY FOR EVERY MESS-UP
00:53:44.170 --> 00:53:46.100
AND EVERY MISTAKE AND ALL THE
00:53:46.100 --> 00:53:49.100
THINGS THAT WE'RE EMBARRASSED OF
00:53:49.100 --> 00:53:51.040
AND WISH WE WOULD'VE NEVER DID
00:53:51.040 --> 00:53:52.090
OR COMMITTED, AND WE'RE
00:53:52.090 --> 00:53:54.060
THAT YOU WOULD LOVE SOMEBODY
00:53:56.200 --> 00:53:58.040
LIKE US, AS FLAWED AND FICKLE AS
00:53:58.040 --> 00:53:59.230
WE ARE.
00:54:01.010 --> 00:54:04.010
I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD RENEW OUR
00:54:04.010 --> 00:54:06.090
MINDS AND CHANGE THE WAY THAT WE
00:54:06.090 --> 00:54:08.250
THINK AND HELP SHAPE THE WAY IT
00:54:08.250 --> 00:54:10.210
IS THAT WE SEE IN OUR OUTLOOK ON
00:54:10.210 --> 00:54:12.140
LIFE 'CAUSE WE WANNA SEE YOU,
00:54:12.250 --> 00:54:15.250
BUT AS YOU SEE US
00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:19.100
SO THAT WE COULD STEP AND DO
00:54:19.100 --> 00:54:21.110
EVERYTHING IT IS THAT
00:54:21.110 --> 00:54:22.040
YOU'RE CALLING US TO DO,
00:54:23.090 --> 00:54:26.090
AMEN.
00:54:27.040 --> 00:54:30.040
[MUSIC]
00:54:30.040 --> 00:54:32.020
- MALE: THIS IS OUR PRAYER THIS
00:54:32.020 --> 00:54:33.000
MORNING, GOD, THAT YOU CHANGE
00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:34.000
OUR HEARTS.
00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:36.010
WE GIVE YOU EVERYTHING, AND WE
00:54:36.010 --> 00:54:37.090
ASK YOU TO CHANGE US.
00:54:37.090 --> 00:54:38.010
COMING OUT FROM THE DARKNESS,
00:54:46.240 --> 00:54:48.040
TURNING BACK TO YOU,
00:54:48.200 --> 00:54:51.200
TO A LOVE THAT IS STRONGER
00:54:53.020 --> 00:54:56.020
HE CALLS ME FROM WITHIN
00:55:00.210 --> 00:55:03.210
NOW I REST IN YOUR GOODNESS
00:55:05.160 --> 00:55:08.160
AND I WILL CLING TO YOUR
