00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:02,850
Welcome to From the Pulpit in Classic Sermons.

2
00:00:03,410 --> 00:00:04,990
Each week we bring you a different message

3
00:00:04,990 --> 00:00:07,150
from some of history's greatest speakers in the

4
00:00:07,150 --> 00:00:09,990
Christian faith, and powerful sermons from modern preachers,

5
00:00:10,130 --> 00:00:10,250
too.

6
00:00:10,970 --> 00:00:13,170
This week we have Ben Crandall with his

7
00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:14,770
message, Garments of Praise.

8
00:00:15,890 --> 00:00:16,470
Wonderful!

9
00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:18,930
All hail King Jesus!

10
00:00:19,310 --> 00:00:21,310
I love it, praise God!

11
00:00:22,730 --> 00:00:24,690
I'd like to read to you a verse

12
00:00:24,690 --> 00:00:29,310
of scripture found in Isaiah, the 61st chapter

13
00:00:29,310 --> 00:00:33,630
and the 3rd verse, "...to console those who

14
00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:37,990
mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for

15
00:00:37,990 --> 00:00:43,170
ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and

16
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:46,810
the garment of praise for the Spirit of

17
00:00:46,810 --> 00:00:47,970
heaviness."

18
00:00:47,970 --> 00:00:50,070
I want to talk to you for a

19
00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:53,210
few minutes this morning on the garments of

20
00:00:53,210 --> 00:00:58,230
praise instead of the Spirit of heaviness.

21
00:00:58,230 --> 00:01:03,250
God wants you to lay aside the Spirit

22
00:01:03,250 --> 00:01:08,590
of heaviness, and worry, and fear, and discouragement,

23
00:01:09,030 --> 00:01:12,230
and He wants you clothed with the garments

24
00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:13,090
of praise.

25
00:01:13,770 --> 00:01:14,270
Hallelujah!

26
00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:18,070
Praise is so important.

27
00:01:19,210 --> 00:01:23,210
It is so important, folks sometimes don't realize

28
00:01:23,210 --> 00:01:26,590
the power and the importance of praise.

29
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:32,430
Praise is important because praise will lift your

30
00:01:32,430 --> 00:01:34,230
faith up toward God.

31
00:01:34,850 --> 00:01:39,150
Praise makes God who He really is when

32
00:01:39,150 --> 00:01:41,930
you praise Him the way He asks us

33
00:01:41,930 --> 00:01:42,730
to in the book.

34
00:01:43,710 --> 00:01:49,510
Praising God increases your faith and reduces your

35
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:50,090
problem.

36
00:01:50,770 --> 00:01:55,250
So many folks have a big problem and

37
00:01:55,250 --> 00:01:56,370
a little God.

38
00:01:56,750 --> 00:01:59,950
When you've got that situation, you're in trouble.

39
00:02:00,510 --> 00:02:02,210
You're in real trouble.

40
00:02:02,470 --> 00:02:05,170
But God would like to reverse that for

41
00:02:05,170 --> 00:02:08,449
you, and He wants to give you a

42
00:02:08,449 --> 00:02:14,990
big God, a big God, and He wants

43
00:02:14,990 --> 00:02:18,550
to reduce your problem to the size that

44
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:22,090
you realize God is great to handle it,

45
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:23,950
and praise does that.

46
00:02:24,690 --> 00:02:26,830
Praise lifts your faith.

47
00:02:27,710 --> 00:02:30,630
It gets your eyes off of your circumstance,

48
00:02:31,410 --> 00:02:34,710
and off of your problem, and onto the

49
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:38,650
answer, and onto the cure, and onto the

50
00:02:38,650 --> 00:02:39,170
victory.

51
00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:40,650
Hallelujah!

52
00:02:40,650 --> 00:02:40,950
Hallelujah!

53
00:02:44,690 --> 00:02:49,810
Praise is vital to you, and it's wonderful.

54
00:02:50,050 --> 00:02:53,550
We've had such marvelous praise here today, just

55
00:02:53,550 --> 00:02:54,150
wonderful.

56
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:56,770
But you've got to learn to be clothed

57
00:02:56,770 --> 00:03:00,090
with praise, and to take praise outside of

58
00:03:00,090 --> 00:03:03,510
these doors, and to live with praise to

59
00:03:03,510 --> 00:03:05,890
where you're identified with it.

60
00:03:06,330 --> 00:03:08,430
Garments identify you.

61
00:03:08,430 --> 00:03:12,870
And Isaiah said, God wants you clothed with

62
00:03:12,870 --> 00:03:14,710
garments of praise.

63
00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:17,070
He wants you to be identified.

64
00:03:17,710 --> 00:03:19,630
He wants to see you that way.

65
00:03:19,950 --> 00:03:22,730
And you want to see yourself and realize

66
00:03:22,730 --> 00:03:26,310
that, and let folks hear the praises of

67
00:03:26,310 --> 00:03:31,110
God, because that's what is truth, and that's

68
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:32,310
where the victory is.

69
00:03:32,350 --> 00:03:32,690
Hallelujah!

70
00:03:34,270 --> 00:03:35,270
Praise God.

71
00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:39,530
Another great reason, very vital reason for praise

72
00:03:39,530 --> 00:03:44,310
is so important, is because praise is the

73
00:03:44,310 --> 00:03:45,890
truth about God.

74
00:03:46,490 --> 00:03:50,070
God deserves all of the credit.

75
00:03:50,910 --> 00:03:53,270
He deserves all of the praise.

76
00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:58,150
He will not share it with anyone, because

77
00:03:58,150 --> 00:04:02,010
He is the one that gives the answer.

78
00:04:02,430 --> 00:04:04,710
He's the one that does it.

79
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:06,290
And God is truthful.

80
00:04:06,830 --> 00:04:07,950
He wants the truth.

81
00:04:08,130 --> 00:04:11,830
There's no, nothing false about God.

82
00:04:12,330 --> 00:04:16,490
And it's praising God is right, because it's

83
00:04:16,490 --> 00:04:17,170
the truth.

84
00:04:17,810 --> 00:04:20,529
None of us deserve what we receive.

85
00:04:20,950 --> 00:04:21,670
Thank God.

86
00:04:21,910 --> 00:04:26,090
Aren't you thankful that God doesn't give us

87
00:04:26,090 --> 00:04:27,070
what we deserve?

88
00:04:28,490 --> 00:04:30,130
He gives us the victory.

89
00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:31,770
He loved us.

90
00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:33,350
He saved us.

91
00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:35,130
He is carried for us.

92
00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:37,250
He is the one that defeats the enemy.

93
00:04:37,630 --> 00:04:39,750
He's the one that has the victory, and

94
00:04:39,750 --> 00:04:43,330
He wants us clothed with that, understanding that,

95
00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:46,750
and filled with the power and glory of

96
00:04:46,750 --> 00:04:47,330
praise.

97
00:04:48,370 --> 00:04:52,110
Don't allow Satan to put on a, give

98
00:04:52,110 --> 00:04:53,670
you a garment of heaviness.

99
00:04:54,290 --> 00:04:56,610
Don't let him give you a garment of

100
00:04:56,610 --> 00:04:57,450
discouragement.

101
00:04:57,790 --> 00:04:59,410
I don't care what your problem are.

102
00:04:59,410 --> 00:05:01,590
We've got a God big enough to handle

103
00:05:01,590 --> 00:05:03,490
every problem in this building.

104
00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:10,850
It doesn't matter.

105
00:05:11,630 --> 00:05:13,450
God is greater.

106
00:05:13,990 --> 00:05:17,170
And when you get into praise, God begins

107
00:05:17,170 --> 00:05:20,250
to become who He really is, and your

108
00:05:20,250 --> 00:05:23,830
problems become so that God can handle them,

109
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:26,210
and He gives you the victory, and lifts

110
00:05:26,210 --> 00:05:27,450
you above the circumstances.

111
00:05:28,370 --> 00:05:28,850
Hallelujah.

112
00:05:28,850 --> 00:05:29,050
Hallelujah.

113
00:05:29,370 --> 00:05:31,230
So let me just go through now.

114
00:05:31,570 --> 00:05:33,790
The book of Psalms, in the Hebrew, it

115
00:05:33,790 --> 00:05:35,450
is called the book of praise.

116
00:05:35,950 --> 00:05:39,250
Now, the Greek calls it Psalms, but really,

117
00:05:39,630 --> 00:05:41,170
it is the book of praise.

118
00:05:41,410 --> 00:05:44,130
And let's turn to that and find out

119
00:05:44,130 --> 00:05:46,550
why it's such a big book.

120
00:05:46,790 --> 00:05:48,970
Why there's so much of it in this

121
00:05:48,970 --> 00:05:49,330
Bible.

122
00:05:49,770 --> 00:05:53,850
Because it is so vital to you, to

123
00:05:53,850 --> 00:05:56,390
your success, to your future.

124
00:05:56,530 --> 00:05:57,490
Praise God.

125
00:05:57,490 --> 00:06:01,810
Psalm 100, and the fourth verse says, enter

126
00:06:01,810 --> 00:06:07,290
into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His

127
00:06:07,290 --> 00:06:08,910
courts with praise.

128
00:06:09,390 --> 00:06:12,650
Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.

129
00:06:13,250 --> 00:06:15,290
Enter His gates.

130
00:06:15,970 --> 00:06:18,010
The only way you get into the gate

131
00:06:18,010 --> 00:06:19,070
is with thanksgiving.

132
00:06:19,890 --> 00:06:22,430
You don't come in with heaviness, and complaining,

133
00:06:22,670 --> 00:06:24,130
and burdens, and all of that.

134
00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:25,570
That is not how you get in.

135
00:06:25,570 --> 00:06:30,610
You enter the gate with thanksgiving, and when

136
00:06:30,610 --> 00:06:33,770
you begin to praise God, the gates swing

137
00:06:33,770 --> 00:06:36,650
open, and you get into His presence.

138
00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:37,150
Hallelujah.

139
00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:40,850
Enter His gates with thanksgiving.

140
00:06:41,150 --> 00:06:42,030
Praise God.

141
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:45,050
Psalm 118, 19, and 20.

142
00:06:45,770 --> 00:06:49,290
Open to me the gates of righteousness.

143
00:06:49,290 --> 00:06:52,650
I will go into them, and I will

144
00:06:52,650 --> 00:06:53,930
praise the Lord.

145
00:06:54,310 --> 00:06:58,970
For this is the gate of the Lord.

146
00:07:00,070 --> 00:07:03,350
Praise is the gate of the Lord.

147
00:07:03,450 --> 00:07:03,870
Hallelujah.

148
00:07:05,290 --> 00:07:07,050
Psalm 22, 26.

149
00:07:07,850 --> 00:07:11,610
They shall praise the Lord that seek the

150
00:07:11,610 --> 00:07:12,010
Lord.

151
00:07:12,210 --> 00:07:15,670
If you're seeking God, begin with praise as

152
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:16,570
the Lord's prayer.

153
00:07:16,570 --> 00:07:20,890
Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be

154
00:07:20,890 --> 00:07:21,850
thy name.

155
00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:24,610
Praise is how you begin your prayer.

156
00:07:24,690 --> 00:07:25,070
Hallelujah.

157
00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:26,630
Praise God.

158
00:07:26,730 --> 00:07:28,910
Psalm 56, 12, and 13.

159
00:07:29,150 --> 00:07:33,330
I will render praise to you, for you

160
00:07:33,330 --> 00:07:37,730
have delivered my soul from death.

161
00:07:38,890 --> 00:07:42,270
I'm going to praise you, God, because you

162
00:07:42,270 --> 00:07:43,650
saved me.

163
00:07:44,110 --> 00:07:45,330
You redeemed me.

164
00:07:45,330 --> 00:07:49,370
You saved my soul from death, from eternal

165
00:07:49,370 --> 00:07:51,030
death and destruction.

166
00:07:51,510 --> 00:07:54,550
I am going to praise you.

167
00:07:55,010 --> 00:07:57,790
I don't care what the devil says or

168
00:07:57,790 --> 00:07:59,810
what the circumstances are.

169
00:08:00,050 --> 00:08:03,010
I am committed to praise.

170
00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:03,470
Hallelujah.

171
00:08:04,290 --> 00:08:05,010
Hallelujah.

172
00:08:06,410 --> 00:08:08,070
Psalm 63, 3.

173
00:08:08,990 --> 00:08:12,370
Now this is a great verse.

174
00:08:12,970 --> 00:08:19,190
Because thy loving kindness is better than life,

175
00:08:19,630 --> 00:08:22,650
my lips shall praise you.

176
00:08:23,170 --> 00:08:28,430
I am going to praise you, because your

177
00:08:28,430 --> 00:08:34,030
love and your kindness is better than life.

178
00:08:36,010 --> 00:08:36,110
Hallelujah.

179
00:08:36,110 --> 00:08:39,409
What is better than life?

180
00:08:40,669 --> 00:08:43,690
What in the world is better than living?

181
00:08:44,930 --> 00:08:47,490
Incredible statement of praise.

182
00:08:48,850 --> 00:08:54,370
Because without the Lord's kindness and love, you

183
00:08:54,370 --> 00:08:56,090
would have eternal death.

184
00:08:57,890 --> 00:08:59,250
You would have death.

185
00:09:00,170 --> 00:09:03,070
Jesus said, what would it profit you if

186
00:09:03,070 --> 00:09:06,310
you gain the whole world and lose your

187
00:09:06,310 --> 00:09:06,870
soul?

188
00:09:08,270 --> 00:09:12,810
Without God's salvation, life is going to end

189
00:09:12,810 --> 00:09:14,190
in total death.

190
00:09:14,590 --> 00:09:15,890
Eternal death.

191
00:09:17,610 --> 00:09:20,710
So he said, there's something better than just

192
00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:21,830
plain living.

193
00:09:22,210 --> 00:09:24,650
Because that ends in death.

194
00:09:25,220 --> 00:09:28,350
It's God's kindness and his forgiveness.

195
00:09:28,910 --> 00:09:29,450
Hallelujah.

196
00:09:30,050 --> 00:09:31,990
It is better than life.

197
00:09:32,330 --> 00:09:37,450
More important because that gives us eternal life.

198
00:09:37,550 --> 00:09:41,230
His loving kindness is going to save me

199
00:09:41,230 --> 00:09:42,070
from death.

200
00:09:42,410 --> 00:09:42,790
Hallelujah.

201
00:09:43,230 --> 00:09:45,990
And it's going to give me eternal life.

202
00:09:46,390 --> 00:09:46,730
Hallelujah.

203
00:09:47,470 --> 00:09:51,030
There's nothing as important as God's gift of

204
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:51,550
life.

205
00:09:51,870 --> 00:09:53,090
His eternal life.

206
00:09:53,090 --> 00:09:55,410
So he said, I'm going to praise you.

207
00:09:55,490 --> 00:09:57,370
It's the best thing there is.

208
00:09:57,670 --> 00:10:00,550
It's better than just plain living, because that

209
00:10:00,550 --> 00:10:01,450
leads to death.

210
00:10:01,830 --> 00:10:06,170
My living in God leads to eternal life

211
00:10:06,170 --> 00:10:08,270
and with you forever.

212
00:10:08,770 --> 00:10:09,150
Forever.

213
00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:10,090
Hallelujah.

214
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:11,370
Hallelujah.

215
00:10:11,870 --> 00:10:13,510
Why should I praise God?

216
00:10:13,770 --> 00:10:16,170
He's given me the gift of life.

217
00:10:16,590 --> 00:10:19,530
He's given me the gift of eternal life.

218
00:10:19,870 --> 00:10:21,630
He saved me from hell.

219
00:10:21,630 --> 00:10:23,550
He saved me from death.

220
00:10:23,950 --> 00:10:25,530
He saved me from destruction.

221
00:10:26,070 --> 00:10:28,010
And he's brought me into his family.

222
00:10:28,430 --> 00:10:30,870
I will praise God.

223
00:10:31,230 --> 00:10:31,990
Hallelujah.

224
00:10:32,950 --> 00:10:34,350
Thank you, Jesus.

225
00:10:37,310 --> 00:10:38,350
Thank you.

226
00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:40,730
Psalm 136 and 1.

227
00:10:41,250 --> 00:10:44,090
Give thanks to the Lord for his good,

228
00:10:44,210 --> 00:10:48,090
for his mercy endures forever.

229
00:10:49,010 --> 00:10:53,310
Because his mercy will never run out.

230
00:10:53,850 --> 00:10:56,270
My mercy is not long.

231
00:10:56,670 --> 00:10:59,610
Your mercy isn't long if you have any.

232
00:10:59,890 --> 00:11:01,910
And if I have any, it's not for

233
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:02,510
long.

234
00:11:02,770 --> 00:11:05,870
But God's mercy is forever.

235
00:11:06,530 --> 00:11:08,470
And it embraces us.

236
00:11:08,830 --> 00:11:11,330
So we praise him for his mercy.

237
00:11:11,470 --> 00:11:11,810
Hallelujah.

238
00:11:12,570 --> 00:11:13,050
Hallelujah.

239
00:11:14,590 --> 00:11:16,490
Psalm 118, 21.

240
00:11:16,490 --> 00:11:19,650
I will praise you for thou hast heard

241
00:11:19,650 --> 00:11:20,130
me.

242
00:11:21,130 --> 00:11:23,930
I want to praise you because when I

243
00:11:23,930 --> 00:11:26,850
called, you heard me and answered my prayer.

244
00:11:27,010 --> 00:11:28,730
Isn't that a great, great, wonderful.

245
00:11:28,910 --> 00:11:31,550
I praise God because he hears me when

246
00:11:31,550 --> 00:11:32,050
I pray.

247
00:11:32,130 --> 00:11:32,490
Hallelujah.

248
00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:36,310
Now, how do we praise him?

249
00:11:36,410 --> 00:11:38,010
Psalm 9, 1 and 2.

250
00:11:38,430 --> 00:11:42,210
I will praise you, Lord, with my whole

251
00:11:42,210 --> 00:11:42,930
heart.

252
00:11:42,930 --> 00:11:46,790
I will show forth all of thy marvelous

253
00:11:46,790 --> 00:11:47,430
works.

254
00:11:48,130 --> 00:11:50,830
I will be glad and rejoice in thee.

255
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:54,510
I will sing praises to thy name, O

256
00:11:54,510 --> 00:11:55,210
Most High.

257
00:11:55,550 --> 00:11:58,730
I will praise you with all of my

258
00:11:58,730 --> 00:11:59,130
heart.

259
00:11:59,610 --> 00:12:02,210
And I felt like, choir, I felt like

260
00:12:02,210 --> 00:12:03,810
we were getting into that this morning.

261
00:12:04,190 --> 00:12:06,610
I felt like, boy, that we were praising

262
00:12:06,610 --> 00:12:08,890
God with all of our heart.

263
00:12:08,890 --> 00:12:12,730
Now, half praise and half-hearted praise and

264
00:12:12,730 --> 00:12:16,050
half-hearted thanksgiving is worthless to God.

265
00:12:16,610 --> 00:12:18,070
He wants all of it.

266
00:12:18,290 --> 00:12:20,590
He said, I will praise him with all

267
00:12:20,590 --> 00:12:21,230
of my heart.

268
00:12:21,510 --> 00:12:23,230
I'm praising him honestly.

269
00:12:23,650 --> 00:12:25,390
I'm praising him sincerely.

270
00:12:25,910 --> 00:12:27,650
I have no reservations.

271
00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:30,350
I have nothing holding me back.

272
00:12:30,630 --> 00:12:33,490
He has saved me and I'm praising him

273
00:12:33,490 --> 00:12:35,790
with all of my heart.

274
00:12:35,790 --> 00:12:38,290
With all of my soul.

275
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:40,590
With all of my life.

276
00:12:44,370 --> 00:12:48,030
I praise you because when I was lost,

277
00:12:48,170 --> 00:12:49,170
you found me.

278
00:12:49,290 --> 00:12:52,030
When I was going to hell, you stopped

279
00:12:52,030 --> 00:12:52,410
me.

280
00:12:52,470 --> 00:12:54,290
And you rescued me.

281
00:12:54,350 --> 00:12:56,170
And you protected me.

282
00:12:56,390 --> 00:12:57,910
And you have kept me.

283
00:12:58,070 --> 00:13:00,030
And you have kept me until this hour.

284
00:13:00,350 --> 00:13:01,910
He brought you here today.

285
00:13:02,570 --> 00:13:04,330
He has watched over you.

286
00:13:04,330 --> 00:13:05,810
He has fed you.

287
00:13:06,210 --> 00:13:07,410
He has clothed you.

288
00:13:07,810 --> 00:13:08,970
He has kept you.

289
00:13:09,250 --> 00:13:11,350
And he says, I'm going to praise you

290
00:13:11,350 --> 00:13:15,590
with everything within me because it all goes

291
00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:16,590
back to you.

292
00:13:16,690 --> 00:13:17,130
Hallelujah.

293
00:13:17,930 --> 00:13:18,370
Hallelujah.

294
00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:20,950
Praise him with all of my heart.

295
00:13:21,050 --> 00:13:21,390
Hallelujah.

296
00:13:22,450 --> 00:13:23,470
Praise God.

297
00:13:24,970 --> 00:13:26,910
Sing praises to God.

298
00:13:27,290 --> 00:13:28,830
And we were doing that today.

299
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:31,970
Sing praises to our King.

300
00:13:31,970 --> 00:13:35,930
For God is the King of all of

301
00:13:35,930 --> 00:13:36,370
the earth.

302
00:13:36,450 --> 00:13:36,850
Hallelujah.

303
00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:41,250
Clap your hands, all you people.

304
00:13:41,890 --> 00:13:45,670
Shout to God with a voice of triumph.

305
00:13:46,810 --> 00:13:47,830
Hallelujah.

306
00:13:48,990 --> 00:13:49,470
Hallelujah.

307
00:13:52,030 --> 00:13:54,810
Shout with a voice of triumph.

308
00:13:56,530 --> 00:13:59,390
Shout with a voice of victory.

309
00:14:00,290 --> 00:14:02,350
You're victorious this day.

310
00:14:03,010 --> 00:14:05,550
I don't care what the devil says.

311
00:14:06,110 --> 00:14:08,630
If you're in Christ, you're victorious.

312
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,720
We won.

313
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,380
We won the victory.

314
00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:18,860
Hallelujah.

315
00:14:20,140 --> 00:14:20,920
Praise God.

316
00:14:21,020 --> 00:14:21,660
We won.

317
00:14:22,340 --> 00:14:23,560
We are victorious.

318
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,520
Praise God.

319
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,800
With a voice of triumph.

320
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,020
Victory.

321
00:14:29,780 --> 00:14:31,760
You know, I don't know much about sports.

322
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:32,900
Nothing against it.

323
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,800
Just kind of ignorant.

324
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,000
But I do remember about a year ago,

325
00:14:39,340 --> 00:14:41,580
this past year, not this season, but a

326
00:14:41,580 --> 00:14:44,820
year ago, the Red Sox won the World

327
00:14:44,820 --> 00:14:45,220
Series.

328
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,300
Now, they hadn't won it for decades.

329
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,300
They went crazy.

330
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,640
They won the World Series.

331
00:14:52,060 --> 00:14:53,000
They were triumphant.

332
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,620
Talk about shouting, horns blowing, people going crazy.

333
00:14:57,620 --> 00:15:00,600
The Red Sox won the ball game.

334
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:02,080
And that's fine.

335
00:15:02,220 --> 00:15:03,180
I'm glad they did.

336
00:15:03,540 --> 00:15:04,320
They needed to.

337
00:15:04,940 --> 00:15:09,440
But we have won over Satan.

338
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,260
We have won.

339
00:15:21,620 --> 00:15:23,520
We have won.

340
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:25,780
Hallelujah.

341
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:32,780

342
00:15:32,780 --> 00:15:35,400
