8
00:00:22,570 --> 00:00:25,050
As I was coming down the elevator tonight

9
00:00:25,050 --> 00:00:31,770
with Gwen, and she said, she hadn't been

10
00:00:31,770 --> 00:00:33,170
here this morning, and she said, what are

11
00:00:33,170 --> 00:00:34,210
you preaching, David?

12
00:00:35,010 --> 00:00:36,530
I said, I'm preaching the cross.

13
00:00:37,310 --> 00:00:39,410
And she looked and said, I don't even

14
00:00:39,410 --> 00:00:42,230
remember you preaching on the cross before, have

15
00:00:42,230 --> 00:00:42,370
you?

16
00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:43,630
And I said, I can't remember.

17
00:00:44,930 --> 00:00:47,410
Oh, I've prayed about it, talked about it,

18
00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:50,130
but I've not preached about it.

19
00:00:50,130 --> 00:00:54,490
I mean, really, zero in on the cross.

20
00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:57,750
Many times the cross has come into my

21
00:00:57,750 --> 00:01:00,530
message, but I'm praying tonight the Lord speak

22
00:01:00,530 --> 00:01:01,650
very clearly to us.

23
00:01:02,110 --> 00:01:04,530
All right, 1 Thessalonians 1 chapter, verse 5.

24
00:01:05,110 --> 00:01:06,210
1 Thessalonians.

25
00:01:06,830 --> 00:01:09,370
For our gospel came not unto you in

26
00:01:09,370 --> 00:01:12,570
word only, but also in power, in the

27
00:01:12,570 --> 00:01:14,470
Holy Ghost, and in what?

28
00:01:15,250 --> 00:01:16,870
Much assurance.

29
00:01:17,050 --> 00:01:17,950
In the King James, I don't know what

30
00:01:17,950 --> 00:01:19,310
it says in the other, but much assurance

31
00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:21,670
as ye know what manner of men we

32
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:23,850
were among you for your sake.

33
00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:26,770
The cross is the key to assurance.

34
00:01:26,950 --> 00:01:28,070
Much assurance.

35
00:01:29,770 --> 00:01:32,670
Our gospel came not unto you in word

36
00:01:32,670 --> 00:01:36,410
only, but also in power, the Holy Ghost,

37
00:01:36,890 --> 00:01:37,730
and much assurance.

38
00:01:37,730 --> 00:01:42,390
Heavenly Father, I so desperately need you tonight

39
00:01:42,390 --> 00:01:46,430
to come and fill me with the Holy

40
00:01:46,430 --> 00:01:49,730
Ghost mightily to proclaim the cross of Jesus

41
00:01:49,730 --> 00:01:50,290
Christ.

42
00:01:50,750 --> 00:01:52,850
The preaching of the cross is foolishness to

43
00:01:52,850 --> 00:01:55,490
men, but it's the righteousness and the holiness

44
00:01:55,490 --> 00:01:56,570
of God to us.

45
00:01:57,130 --> 00:01:59,090
Lord, I pray you open the cross to

46
00:01:59,090 --> 00:02:01,770
us tonight in a very new and loving

47
00:02:01,770 --> 00:02:02,110
way.

48
00:02:02,210 --> 00:02:02,530
Hallelujah.

49
00:02:02,530 --> 00:02:04,290
Thank you for what you're doing in this

50
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:04,750
church.

51
00:02:05,330 --> 00:02:07,090
Thank you for the power that came down

52
00:02:07,090 --> 00:02:09,130
this morning, the glory of the Lord in

53
00:02:09,130 --> 00:02:09,650
this house.

54
00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:12,270
And Lord, that presence is lingering again tonight.

55
00:02:12,870 --> 00:02:14,870
The Holy Spirit speak to everyone in this

56
00:02:14,870 --> 00:02:15,150
building.

57
00:02:15,290 --> 00:02:16,530
I must have freedom.

58
00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:19,430
Set me free, Lord, from any bondage and

59
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:22,370
give me the liberty, the power, the Holy

60
00:02:22,370 --> 00:02:25,330
Ghost, and much assurance in Jesus name.

61
00:02:25,630 --> 00:02:26,070
Amen.

62
00:02:27,050 --> 00:02:29,990
Now, Paul said these three things accompanied his

63
00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:32,950
gospel, and he not only preached the gospel

64
00:02:32,950 --> 00:02:35,410
with much assurance, convinced of the power of

65
00:02:35,410 --> 00:02:37,490
the cross, but he said this is what

66
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:38,890
it should produce in you.

67
00:02:39,170 --> 00:02:42,570
And my prayer tonight is that the message,

68
00:02:43,250 --> 00:02:45,050
though the cross, preaching of the cross is

69
00:02:45,050 --> 00:02:46,950
so deep, I don't think anybody could touch

70
00:02:46,950 --> 00:02:48,810
the fullness of it, and I know so

71
00:02:48,810 --> 00:02:50,330
little about it.

72
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:52,650
All I can do tonight is share with

73
00:02:52,650 --> 00:02:54,530
you the little light that I've seen on

74
00:02:54,530 --> 00:02:55,070
the cross.

75
00:02:55,070 --> 00:02:58,870
And this should produce much assurance in your

76
00:02:58,870 --> 00:02:59,210
heart.

77
00:02:59,270 --> 00:03:01,110
The Lord dealt with us this morning about

78
00:03:01,110 --> 00:03:04,050
assurance, telling us in so many words that

79
00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:05,550
we're many people in this church who are

80
00:03:05,550 --> 00:03:09,050
not really, truly assured before the Lord that

81
00:03:09,050 --> 00:03:12,190
there's turmoil or doubt or anxiety in your

82
00:03:12,190 --> 00:03:12,530
heart.

83
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:16,490
Isaiah said, the work of righteousness shall be

84
00:03:16,490 --> 00:03:16,990
peace.

85
00:03:17,810 --> 00:03:19,850
Now, I'm asking you, do you have peace

86
00:03:19,850 --> 00:03:20,370
in your heart?

87
00:03:20,370 --> 00:03:23,690
The work of righteousness is peace, and the

88
00:03:23,690 --> 00:03:28,530
effect of righteousness is quietness and assurance forever.

89
00:03:29,690 --> 00:03:32,130
Not just in church, but on the job,

90
00:03:32,290 --> 00:03:33,850
everywhere, there's an assurance.

91
00:03:34,130 --> 00:03:34,670
Praise God.

92
00:03:35,410 --> 00:03:37,310
Now, if you're walking as you ought to

93
00:03:37,310 --> 00:03:39,430
before the Lord, you're going to have a

94
00:03:39,430 --> 00:03:40,610
quiet peace about you.

95
00:03:41,010 --> 00:03:43,710
People who are truly walking in righteousness are

96
00:03:43,710 --> 00:03:44,450
not in a hurry.

97
00:03:45,090 --> 00:03:46,950
There's not a hurriedness about them.

98
00:03:46,950 --> 00:03:50,230
There's a quiet peace in their heart, and

99
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:52,690
they do not live in constant turmoil.

100
00:03:52,970 --> 00:03:55,450
Though they will be attacked or harassed at

101
00:03:55,450 --> 00:03:58,030
times with turmoil, they do not live in

102
00:03:58,030 --> 00:04:02,370
constant turmoil with their hearts twisting and turning

103
00:04:02,370 --> 00:04:07,030
and anxiety just churning and churning inside at

104
00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:07,710
all times.

105
00:04:08,110 --> 00:04:10,870
I'm asking you, as you sit here tonight,

106
00:04:11,290 --> 00:04:13,410
do you have a deep, settled peace in

107
00:04:13,410 --> 00:04:13,930
your heart?

108
00:04:13,930 --> 00:04:18,769
Is that quiet assurance of your salvation holding

109
00:04:18,769 --> 00:04:20,089
you steady right now?

110
00:04:21,089 --> 00:04:24,050
Do you have that settled spirit, and there

111
00:04:24,050 --> 00:04:27,010
is no turmoil in your heart?

112
00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:29,330
Now, there may be some questions about the

113
00:04:29,330 --> 00:04:31,590
future, but you know that God is going

114
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:33,130
to take care of the future, so you

115
00:04:33,130 --> 00:04:35,230
settle down and rest in His promises.

116
00:04:36,630 --> 00:04:38,990
Now, multitudes of Christians do not walk in

117
00:04:38,990 --> 00:04:41,180
assurance, and especially in charismatic circles.

118
00:04:41,180 --> 00:04:44,800
They don't have that settled peace inside, and

119
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,340
they're always living in turmoil.

120
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,540
They're a mass of twisting, twirling, churning spirit

121
00:04:51,540 --> 00:04:54,040
that's upset at almost every time.

122
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,340
They wake up upset.

123
00:04:55,540 --> 00:04:56,640
They wake up in turmoil.

124
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,120
They live in turmoil.

125
00:04:58,220 --> 00:04:59,680
They go to bed at night trying to

126
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,120
count sheep by the thousands.

127
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:06,340
They get to 10,000, and they're still

128
00:05:06,340 --> 00:05:07,120
in turmoil.

129
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:10,000
They can't lay down in peace and sleep

130
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,580
as God has promised His children.

131
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:14,040
Their doubt, fear, questions pour out of their

132
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,940
minds all day and all night long.

133
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,180
In fact, many Christians, as far as I'm

134
00:05:19,180 --> 00:05:21,700
concerned, fit the description of the children of

135
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:22,980
Israel who were under a curse.

136
00:05:23,820 --> 00:05:25,320
You don't have to turn there, but in

137
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,540
Deuteronomy 28, here's the description of the children

138
00:05:29,540 --> 00:05:31,400
of Israel under the curse.

139
00:05:32,020 --> 00:05:34,120
The Scripture says, they hearkened not to the

140
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:34,860
voice of the Lord.

141
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,560
They kept not His commandments.

142
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,240
They served not the Lord God with joyfulness

143
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,700
or with gladness of heart for all the

144
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:43,460
abundance of the things God has done for

145
00:05:43,460 --> 00:05:43,740
them.

146
00:05:44,540 --> 00:05:46,760
And therefore, the Bible says that they come

147
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,020
under the spell of almost every enemy.

148
00:05:51,220 --> 00:05:53,660
They came under the spell of satanic harassment.

149
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,660
They lack in all things, the Scripture says.

150
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,380
There's a yoke of iron upon their neck.

151
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,100
They're plagued by diseases.

152
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:02,200
I would tell you what, I believe worry

153
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,700
causes more heart attacks than all the eggs

154
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:05,880
and cholesterol in China.

155
00:06:08,860 --> 00:06:10,140
China, America.

156
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:13,840
I don't know if they even eat eggs

157
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:14,280
in China.

158
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:17,980
But my point is that I'm convinced that

159
00:06:17,980 --> 00:06:20,740
worry causes more disease than anything else.

160
00:06:21,220 --> 00:06:24,060
That turmoil inside, I know it causes heart

161
00:06:24,060 --> 00:06:24,460
attacks.

162
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,080
The Scripture says, thou shalt find no ease.

163
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,980
These people who are not trusting in God.

164
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,460
These people who are not obeying the commandments

165
00:06:34,460 --> 00:06:35,060
of the Lord.

166
00:06:35,340 --> 00:06:37,680
Who are not resting in His faithfulness.

167
00:06:38,060 --> 00:06:39,960
The Scripture said, they shall find no ease.

168
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,920
Neither shall the sole of their feet find

169
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,600
any rest.

170
00:06:44,020 --> 00:06:46,260
But the Lord shall give them a trembling

171
00:06:46,260 --> 00:06:46,740
heart.

172
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:48,500
Their eyes will fail.

173
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,760
And they will have sorrow of mind.

174
00:06:52,060 --> 00:06:53,600
Their mind will be sorrowful.

175
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,880
And thy life shall hang in doubt before

176
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:57,220
thee.

177
00:06:57,220 --> 00:07:00,080
Thou shalt fear night and day.

178
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,120
Thou shalt have no assurance of your life.

179
00:07:03,540 --> 00:07:05,700
You shall have no assurance of your life

180
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:06,520
at any time.

181
00:07:07,420 --> 00:07:09,580
Now that is where many Christians are.

182
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,820
And folks, I was praying all week long.

183
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,740
And I said, God, why do I have

184
00:07:14,740 --> 00:07:16,540
these two streams flowing in me?

185
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,000
This great urgency to go to the pulpit

186
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:21,760
Sunday night.

187
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,040
And strike against the turmoil that I know

188
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,000
you're telling me is in the hearts of

189
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:27,880
many that will be there.

190
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,500
And I tell you now, in the balcony,

191
00:07:30,620 --> 00:07:31,560
in here, wherever you are.

192
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,940
God spoke clearly to my heart that there

193
00:07:33,940 --> 00:07:35,180
will be many of you sitting here.

194
00:07:35,780 --> 00:07:36,620
You're in turmoil.

195
00:07:36,820 --> 00:07:37,900
I don't know what's caused it.

196
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:40,280
It may be problems you look at in

197
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:40,700
the future.

198
00:07:40,980 --> 00:07:42,500
It may be family problems.

199
00:07:42,620 --> 00:07:43,700
It may be career problems.

200
00:07:43,820 --> 00:07:44,980
But there's a turmoil.

201
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:45,960
There's a restlessness.

202
00:07:46,020 --> 00:07:46,580
There's a churning.

203
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,880
And I said, God, on this side you're

204
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,980
telling me to deal with this churning, troubled

205
00:07:52,980 --> 00:07:53,820
mind.

206
00:07:54,060 --> 00:07:55,440
And then you tell me to preach the

207
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:55,900
cross.

208
00:07:56,620 --> 00:07:58,080
And the Lord said, you don't understand.

209
00:07:58,140 --> 00:07:59,020
They go together.

210
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,260
It's all one message.

211
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,060
Because there is no secret to peace outside

212
00:08:05,060 --> 00:08:06,480
of the cross of Jesus.

213
00:08:06,860 --> 00:08:09,460
And the victory that has been won at

214
00:08:09,460 --> 00:08:10,100
the cross.

215
00:08:10,540 --> 00:08:13,840
You don't need a book on seven steps

216
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,540
to get your heart at peace.

217
00:08:15,540 --> 00:08:19,640
You don't need 21 ways to find how

218
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,620
to overcome loneliness and emptiness.

219
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,460
That's all garbage.

220
00:08:25,140 --> 00:08:27,360
It's just lining somebody's pockets.

221
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,260
Doesn't do a bit of good.

222
00:08:29,380 --> 00:08:29,840
I tried.

223
00:08:29,940 --> 00:08:30,540
It doesn't work.

224
00:08:32,630 --> 00:08:33,710
None of it works.

225
00:08:35,250 --> 00:08:37,190
The only thing that works is a vision

226
00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:40,030
of the victory Jesus accomplished on the cross.

227
00:08:40,830 --> 00:08:42,770
That doesn't come from a book.

228
00:08:42,770 --> 00:08:46,610
We hope that some little thing will be

229
00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:48,250
opened in your mind and your heart tonight

230
00:08:48,250 --> 00:08:49,370
that you begin to see it.

231
00:08:49,450 --> 00:08:51,410
I can only begin to paint a picture

232
00:08:51,410 --> 00:08:52,810
for you and pray that you go and

233
00:08:52,810 --> 00:08:54,830
ask God to reveal it in its fullness.

234
00:08:55,930 --> 00:08:59,070
But a troubled heart and a trembling spirit.

235
00:08:59,390 --> 00:09:01,230
A mind plagued by fear.

236
00:09:01,850 --> 00:09:04,430
These are all signs of one living outside

237
00:09:04,430 --> 00:09:06,150
of obedience before the Lord.

238
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:09,050
In Hebrews, we're told that if you're an

239
00:09:09,050 --> 00:09:11,990
enlightened Christian walking in the light as Jesus

240
00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:13,930
in the light, you will have a full

241
00:09:13,930 --> 00:09:15,950
assurance of hope unto the end.

242
00:09:16,070 --> 00:09:18,110
A full assurance of hope.

243
00:09:18,610 --> 00:09:22,490
Also, the Bible says, Let us draw near

244
00:09:22,490 --> 00:09:26,250
with a true heart in full assurance of

245
00:09:26,250 --> 00:09:26,630
faith.

246
00:09:27,410 --> 00:09:29,690
Let us hold fast the profession of our

247
00:09:29,690 --> 00:09:33,690
faith without wavering for he is faithful that

248
00:09:33,690 --> 00:09:34,210
promised.

249
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:36,070
He's faithful that promised.

250
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:38,230
Now, according to what I've just read there,

251
00:09:38,610 --> 00:09:42,610
peace and full assurance is lost for a

252
00:09:42,610 --> 00:09:42,810
reason.

253
00:09:42,930 --> 00:09:44,270
If you don't have that peace, if you

254
00:09:44,270 --> 00:09:45,510
don't have that assurance, I'll tell you where

255
00:09:45,510 --> 00:09:47,470
you lost it and why you don't have

256
00:09:47,470 --> 00:09:47,690
it.

257
00:09:48,410 --> 00:09:48,950
Here it is.

258
00:09:49,830 --> 00:09:54,510
A falling away from confidence in the faithfulness

259
00:09:54,510 --> 00:09:54,990
of God.

260
00:09:55,570 --> 00:09:57,790
You have fallen away from your confidence and

261
00:09:57,790 --> 00:09:59,670
when you have fallen away from that confidence,

262
00:09:59,670 --> 00:10:04,310
immediately turmoil moves in and fills that vacuum.

263
00:10:05,290 --> 00:10:07,830
Now, you remember God making an oath to

264
00:10:07,830 --> 00:10:08,130
Abraham?

265
00:10:08,510 --> 00:10:09,870
He said, I'm going to be your shield.

266
00:10:10,070 --> 00:10:11,290
I'm going to bless you.

267
00:10:11,490 --> 00:10:12,870
I'm going to multiply you.

268
00:10:13,510 --> 00:10:16,050
And the scripture says God counted his faith

269
00:10:16,050 --> 00:10:17,250
as righteousness to him.

270
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:19,450
And Abraham believed God.

271
00:10:20,090 --> 00:10:23,830
And he did not stagger at the promises

272
00:10:23,830 --> 00:10:24,290
of God.

273
00:10:24,550 --> 00:10:26,330
He believed in the faithfulness of God.

274
00:10:26,330 --> 00:10:28,130
He was looking for a city whose builder

275
00:10:28,130 --> 00:10:29,070
and maker was God.

276
00:10:29,710 --> 00:10:31,890
And we are Abraham's children.

277
00:10:32,730 --> 00:10:34,590
And God has made an oath to us

278
00:10:34,590 --> 00:10:35,630
that he will be faithful.

279
00:10:35,890 --> 00:10:37,550
And that's what the cross is.

280
00:10:37,690 --> 00:10:39,810
It was the fulfillment of an oath of

281
00:10:39,810 --> 00:10:40,910
almighty God.

282
00:10:41,330 --> 00:10:43,970
It was the final act of faithfulness of

283
00:10:43,970 --> 00:10:46,010
almighty God to send his own lamb.

284
00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:47,730
He's the lamb of God.

285
00:10:47,910 --> 00:10:49,270
He's not the lamb of man.

286
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:50,890
He's the lamb of God.

287
00:10:51,230 --> 00:10:53,510
He's the Father's own dear son.

288
00:10:55,230 --> 00:10:58,550
I want to read this for you.

289
00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:59,990
The scripture says, Be not slothful.

290
00:11:00,550 --> 00:11:03,190
But followers of them who through faith and

291
00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:05,070
patience inherited the promises.

292
00:11:05,310 --> 00:11:06,570
That's speaking of Abraham.

293
00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:10,050
We sing of the cross.

294
00:11:10,490 --> 00:11:12,190
I'm going to talk about how we get

295
00:11:12,190 --> 00:11:12,790
this assurance.

296
00:11:13,390 --> 00:11:14,410
We talk about the cross.

297
00:11:14,490 --> 00:11:15,250
We sing about it.

298
00:11:15,510 --> 00:11:18,110
And often, or occasionally, we hear preaching about

299
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:18,310
it.

300
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:22,170
But few of us have understood the great

301
00:11:22,170 --> 00:11:25,050
victory that Jesus won there.

302
00:11:25,250 --> 00:11:26,710
And it's inadequate.

303
00:11:27,070 --> 00:11:30,010
As I feel to approach this subject, I

304
00:11:30,010 --> 00:11:33,050
want to share just three or four little

305
00:11:33,050 --> 00:11:35,750
insights that the Lord's been dealing with me

306
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:36,070
about.

307
00:11:36,210 --> 00:11:36,490
Hallelujah.

308
00:11:36,970 --> 00:11:37,470
I'll tell you what.

309
00:11:37,730 --> 00:11:40,190
I'm so thrilled speaking about the cross of

310
00:11:40,190 --> 00:11:40,470
Jesus.

311
00:11:41,090 --> 00:11:45,030
My heart, I just, I'm overflowing all the

312
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:45,510
way to church.

313
00:11:45,610 --> 00:11:47,150
And I said, Lord, thank you for entrusting

314
00:11:47,150 --> 00:11:47,350
me.

315
00:11:47,350 --> 00:11:48,810
Even with this little bit of light that

316
00:11:48,810 --> 00:11:49,830
I have on the cross.

317
00:11:50,470 --> 00:11:52,410
I've preached everything in the world, but oh,

318
00:11:52,510 --> 00:11:53,190
thank God.

319
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:54,390
And here's what I see.

320
00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:57,350
First of all, the cross is more than

321
00:11:57,350 --> 00:11:57,870
pardon.

322
00:11:58,450 --> 00:11:59,290
It's ransom.

323
00:12:01,450 --> 00:12:04,150
Many, many Christians want nothing more than forgiveness.

324
00:12:04,350 --> 00:12:06,170
They want nothing more than pardon.

325
00:12:06,270 --> 00:12:09,090
And that's wonderful, glorious as it is to

326
00:12:09,090 --> 00:12:11,050
be pardoned, to be forgiven, to be out

327
00:12:11,050 --> 00:12:12,950
from under the judgment against sin.

328
00:12:13,330 --> 00:12:15,230
It's wonderful to be able to stand up

329
00:12:15,230 --> 00:12:16,330
and say, I've been forgiven.

330
00:12:16,330 --> 00:12:18,490
I'm pardoned of all my sins.

331
00:12:19,170 --> 00:12:21,130
But the scripture says, no, you're not.

332
00:12:21,570 --> 00:12:23,970
You are not your own for you are

333
00:12:23,970 --> 00:12:25,470
bought with a price.

334
00:12:26,270 --> 00:12:28,990
Therefore, glorify God in your body and in

335
00:12:28,990 --> 00:12:30,710
your spirit, which are God's.

336
00:12:31,610 --> 00:12:33,930
Take heed, therefore, unto yourselves and to all

337
00:12:33,930 --> 00:12:36,590
the flock, the scripture says, of which the

338
00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:38,770
Holy Ghost has made you overseer to feed

339
00:12:38,770 --> 00:12:41,510
the church of God, which he hath purchased

340
00:12:41,510 --> 00:12:42,830
with his own blood.

341
00:12:43,610 --> 00:12:44,510
He purchased it.

342
00:12:44,510 --> 00:12:46,430
Now, we talk about a ransom.

343
00:12:46,610 --> 00:12:49,990
Now, Jesus did not pay the ransom to

344
00:12:49,990 --> 00:12:50,430
the devil.

345
00:12:51,070 --> 00:12:52,790
He paid ransom to God.

346
00:12:52,890 --> 00:12:54,490
God was the one who was sinned against.

347
00:12:55,310 --> 00:12:57,350
We didn't sin against the devil.

348
00:12:57,410 --> 00:12:58,750
We sinned against God.

349
00:12:59,270 --> 00:13:01,170
The devil has nothing to do with this.

350
00:13:01,570 --> 00:13:03,610
But you see, why a ransom?

351
00:13:03,610 --> 00:13:08,050
Why couldn't God just overpower and by force,

352
00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:12,830
without the cross, bring man to himself and

353
00:13:12,830 --> 00:13:13,990
reconcile himself?

354
00:13:14,890 --> 00:13:16,670
First of all, without the shedding of blood,

355
00:13:16,750 --> 00:13:18,010
there's no remission of sins.

356
00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:22,390
I've heard people say, well, only all Jesus

357
00:13:22,390 --> 00:13:23,890
had to do is share one drop of

358
00:13:23,890 --> 00:13:25,610
his blood would have saved the whole world.

359
00:13:25,950 --> 00:13:26,710
No, that's not true.

360
00:13:26,770 --> 00:13:27,770
He could have pricked his finger.

361
00:13:29,050 --> 00:13:31,430
Bible said we're redeemed by the death.

362
00:13:32,190 --> 00:13:34,810
The death of Jesus Christ, there had to

363
00:13:34,810 --> 00:13:37,110
be the death of a perfect sacrifice.

364
00:13:37,710 --> 00:13:40,670
And that was Jesus Christ, the Lamb of

365
00:13:40,670 --> 00:13:42,910
God, who purchased us.

366
00:13:43,210 --> 00:13:45,330
He did not only pardon you, he purchased

367
00:13:45,330 --> 00:13:45,730
you.

368
00:13:46,510 --> 00:13:48,390
Now, if you read the paper yesterday, there

369
00:13:48,390 --> 00:13:51,390
was a picture of six men in London

370
00:13:51,390 --> 00:13:53,130
who marched out of prison.

371
00:13:53,210 --> 00:13:54,810
They'd been there for 16 years.

372
00:13:55,270 --> 00:13:58,210
They were members of the IRA, the Irish

373
00:13:58,210 --> 00:13:59,030
Republican Army.

374
00:13:59,030 --> 00:14:01,650
And years ago, 16 years ago, they were

375
00:14:01,650 --> 00:14:05,290
indicted for some bloody, terrible bombings.

376
00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:07,290
16 years they've been in prison.

377
00:14:07,830 --> 00:14:10,010
They were pardoned on Friday.

378
00:14:11,310 --> 00:14:12,610
And you see, six men.

379
00:14:12,830 --> 00:14:17,470
In fact, the headline said six defiant defenders

380
00:14:17,470 --> 00:14:21,370
walked free yesterday after 16 years in prison.

381
00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:26,230
They were jubilant at being pardoned, but angry.

382
00:14:26,810 --> 00:14:28,770
Well, I suppose you would be, too, after

383
00:14:28,770 --> 00:14:30,330
16 years in jail.

384
00:14:30,790 --> 00:14:32,590
But you see, they were pardoned, but not

385
00:14:32,590 --> 00:14:32,930
changed.

386
00:14:32,990 --> 00:14:35,190
They went right back to the Irish Army.

387
00:14:36,070 --> 00:14:37,330
They were pardoned.

388
00:14:37,490 --> 00:14:38,190
They were free.

389
00:14:38,730 --> 00:14:41,310
You see, Jesus didn't set us free as

390
00:14:41,310 --> 00:14:42,710
many can see.

391
00:14:43,290 --> 00:14:45,030
They said, I got saved.

392
00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:46,070
That's eternally it.

393
00:14:47,150 --> 00:14:47,870
I'm free.

394
00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:48,870
They come out of prison.

395
00:14:49,050 --> 00:14:50,450
Thank God I'm free.

396
00:14:50,670 --> 00:14:51,930
I've been released.

397
00:14:53,830 --> 00:14:55,870
But Jesus said, wait a minute.

398
00:14:56,770 --> 00:14:59,630
I bought you with my own blood.

399
00:14:59,770 --> 00:15:00,850
You're not your own anymore.

400
00:15:01,330 --> 00:15:01,830
You're mine.

401
00:15:02,790 --> 00:15:03,930
I didn't just pardon you.

402
00:15:04,010 --> 00:15:04,850
I bought you.

403
00:15:05,670 --> 00:15:07,810
You were a slave, and I paid the

404
00:15:07,810 --> 00:15:08,210
price.

405
00:15:08,470 --> 00:15:09,170
You're mine.

406
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:15,540
The church, which he hath purchased with his

407
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:19,440
own blood, the Son of Man gave himself

408
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,560
a ransom for all.

409
00:15:22,460 --> 00:15:25,340
Listen, the cross for so many people means

410
00:15:25,340 --> 00:15:28,320
only forgiveness, shelter from the wrath of God.

411
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,060
You see, the Passover was first celebrated in

412
00:15:33,060 --> 00:15:33,460
Egypt.

413
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,360
Remember that night?

414
00:15:35,140 --> 00:15:37,720
They would apply the blood to the doorpost.

415
00:15:37,820 --> 00:15:39,320
The death angel was going to pass that

416
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,320
night, and the blood on the doorpost protected

417
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:42,580
them.

418
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:45,460
The angel saw the blood, the death angel,

419
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,420
and passed right over them.

420
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,840
Egypt was paying the penalty of sin.

421
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,100
Wages of sin is death.

422
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:52,920
Death was passing through Egypt, and this was

423
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,260
a sign of judgment against sin, God's judgment

424
00:15:55,260 --> 00:15:55,960
against sin.

425
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,200
And the type is that when the blood

426
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,480
is applied, you're protected from the wrath of

427
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:01,400
God against sin.

428
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,600
You are covered by the blood, and they

429
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,040
were literally covered with the blood.

430
00:16:06,380 --> 00:16:08,640
And that was for a purpose, though.

431
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:11,000
They were not covered with the blood to

432
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:11,700
stay in Egypt.

433
00:16:12,340 --> 00:16:14,280
They were not covered with the blood just

434
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,500
to be protected for that night.

435
00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:20,400
The Scripture says, being made free from sin,

436
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,140
you became servants of righteousness.

437
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,540
You were set free to become His servant

438
00:16:26,540 --> 00:16:29,200
of righteousness, to give Him your life from

439
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,020
that day on.

440
00:16:31,380 --> 00:16:35,220
We have Christians who want nothing more from

441
00:16:35,220 --> 00:16:38,440
the cross than to say, I am secure.

442
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,580
I thank God for security.

443
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,360
But I tell you what, I believe in

444
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,040
eternal pardon.

445
00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:49,620
I believe in eternal purchase.

446
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,460
We are eternally purchased by Jesus Christ.

447
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,260
Pardon to become a living sacrifice unto Him.

448
00:17:01,460 --> 00:17:03,680
Now, the Scripture says that they were to

449
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,780
partake of the Passover standing.

450
00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:08,980
They had to have their shoes on.

451
00:17:08,980 --> 00:17:10,579
They had to have their staff in their

452
00:17:10,579 --> 00:17:11,980
hand and eat it in haste.

453
00:17:12,980 --> 00:17:14,240
Eat it in haste.

454
00:17:14,420 --> 00:17:16,520
Because God says, I'm pardoning you for a

455
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:16,839
purpose.

456
00:17:17,180 --> 00:17:19,900
I'm looking for a people whom I can

457
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:20,319
inhabit.

458
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:21,780
I'm looking for habitation.

459
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,720
I want to live and dwell among you,

460
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:24,800
and I'm not going to live and dwell

461
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:25,760
among you here in Egypt.

462
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:26,540
This is prison.

463
00:17:26,780 --> 00:17:27,900
This is the devil's territory.

464
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:29,880
I've got a place I'm going to take

465
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,960
you, and I'm going to be, I'm going

466
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,300
to come down and inhabit you.

467
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:34,660
I want a people to myself.

468
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,760
And that's what the cross is all about.

469
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,960
The pardon for sin, yes.

470
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,320
Forgiveness, yes, but for an eternal purpose of

471
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:43,660
God.

472
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:46,040
And that's to prepare this body as a

473
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,980
habitation of His holiness and His righteousness.

474
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:49,520
Hallelujah.

475
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:57,520
And secondly, at the cross, Jesus crushed Satan's

476
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:58,720
heel, head.

477
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,060
He crushed his head.

478
00:18:01,060 --> 00:18:04,000
Now remember in the Garden of Eden, God

479
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,120
said to the serpent, I will put enmity

480
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:09,920
between thee and the woman, and between thy

481
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,500
seed and her seed.

482
00:18:12,020 --> 00:18:15,200
It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt

483
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,180
bruise his heel.

484
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,700
That's speaking of Jesus Christ, who is the

485
00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:20,460
seed of Abraham.

486
00:18:21,260 --> 00:18:22,680
He is the seed, Jesus.

487
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,820
There's one seed, the Bible said, that's Jesus.

488
00:18:25,580 --> 00:18:29,080
And yes, Satan bruised his heel.

489
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,240
Now, he couldn't touch his head.

490
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:33,620
Now, he's the head of this body, only

491
00:18:33,620 --> 00:18:34,520
his heel.

492
00:18:34,980 --> 00:18:37,560
Yes, he could cause evil men to crucify

493
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:37,920
him.

494
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,260
That's when Satan bruised his heel.

495
00:18:40,740 --> 00:18:43,180
But this is the great victory of the

496
00:18:43,180 --> 00:18:47,260
cross, that Jesus truly stripped the devil of

497
00:18:47,260 --> 00:18:50,660
all his power and authority and claim on

498
00:18:50,660 --> 00:18:51,380
God's people.

499
00:18:52,180 --> 00:18:54,400
And folks, this is something I pray God

500
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,460
make real to us tonight.

501
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,260
Christ is that seed.

502
00:18:59,820 --> 00:19:01,200
He is the one who came to crush

503
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,080
the head of Satan.

504
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,320
Now, listen to this.

505
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:04,540
I'm going to make a statement, and listen

506
00:19:04,540 --> 00:19:04,860
to it.

507
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,840
This is where these two messages dovetail.

508
00:19:08,180 --> 00:19:12,040
Peace is knowing the power of the devil

509
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:12,700
is broken.

510
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:14,460
I'm going to say it again.

511
00:19:15,380 --> 00:19:18,880
Peace is understanding and knowing that the power

512
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,020
of the devil has been forever broken.

513
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:23,720
Again.

514
00:19:24,980 --> 00:19:26,040
Say it with me.

515
00:19:26,420 --> 00:19:30,480
Peace is knowing that the devil has been

516
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:30,920
defeated.

517
00:19:31,380 --> 00:19:33,100
That's where peace comes from.

518
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,420
Now, I want you to get this picture.

519
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,200
Israel is at the Egyptian side of the

520
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:42,820
Red Sea.

521
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:44,780
They're blood covered.

522
00:19:45,340 --> 00:19:46,820
You know they're blood covered, don't you?

523
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,000
How many believe they're forgiven and covered by

524
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:49,400
the blood?

525
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,420
They'd already applied it to the doorpost.

526
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,660
And they were on their way.

527
00:19:54,380 --> 00:19:55,580
But there was no peace.

528
00:19:56,140 --> 00:19:57,380
There was nothing but turmoil.

529
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,040
They'd been a three-day journey.

530
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,000
Nobody slept, I'm sure, because they kept hearing

531
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,660
Pharaoh's footprints all through the night.

532
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,560
They imagined, when will he strike?

533
00:20:08,660 --> 00:20:09,540
Where will he strike?

534
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,440
Now, Pharaoh's a type of the devil.

535
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,660
And here they are, blood covered, but in

536
00:20:15,660 --> 00:20:16,360
turmoil.

537
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,980
And they approached the Red Sea.

538
00:20:19,220 --> 00:20:21,160
And they can't go any further.

539
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,620
And folks, you talk about turmoil.

540
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,680
These people said to Moses, why did you

541
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:27,880
bring us out here to kill us?

542
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,540
Why did you let us die in Egypt?

543
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,660
And here they are, blood covered people.

544
00:20:34,580 --> 00:20:36,440
Under the blood, as we sing and say.

545
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:38,620
But no peace.

546
00:20:39,700 --> 00:20:40,920
No peace whatsoever.

547
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:41,160
Why?

548
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,440
Because there was Pharaoh still on their trail.

549
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:46,600
His army was coming.

550
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,480
There was the power of darkness.

551
00:20:48,860 --> 00:20:51,100
The ruler of an evil empire was still

552
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:53,580
there harassing their minds.

553
00:20:53,700 --> 00:20:55,240
And they began to think of this evil

554
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,760
despot who would give them no straw to

555
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:58,420
make bricks.

556
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,420
This Saddam Hussein of their day.

557
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:06,640
And how do you rest?

558
00:21:06,820 --> 00:21:09,040
How do you have any peace when you

559
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,180
have a strong enemy that can strike at

560
00:21:11,180 --> 00:21:11,800
any moment?

561
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,180
Not a lot of people...

562
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,100
It's amazing that Christians give the devil more

563
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:22,000
power than God's ever allowed him since the

564
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:22,380
cross.

565
00:21:23,780 --> 00:21:25,660
God made him a usurper.

566
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,340
We make him a prince.

567
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:29,500
And he's not a prince.

568
00:21:29,860 --> 00:21:31,800
He's a prince of darkness, but he's not

569
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,740
a prince in having any power against the

570
00:21:35,740 --> 00:21:37,140
true child of God.

571
00:21:37,140 --> 00:21:38,300
And I want to prove that to you

572
00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:39,420
from the scripture here tonight.

573
00:21:41,780 --> 00:21:44,180
Suddenly the Spirit of the Lord begins to

574
00:21:44,180 --> 00:21:45,960
move on the waters as they take a

575
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:46,860
step of faith.

576
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,400
The waters part and the children of Israel

577
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,240
go over onto the other side.

578
00:21:51,580 --> 00:21:51,980
Hallelujah.

579
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:54,040
Oh, what a picture of the victory of

580
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:54,600
the cross.

581
00:21:55,140 --> 00:21:56,280
What a picture of the victory of the

582
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:56,540
cross.

583
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,160
They go on the other side.

584
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,240
Here comes Pharaoh's army pressing down on them.

585
00:22:01,580 --> 00:22:02,520
And move.

586
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,280
They had just gotten to the other side.

587
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,400
And the waters stayed open for a period

588
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,420
and allowed the Egyptian army.

589
00:22:10,740 --> 00:22:13,560
Pharaoh and his whole army got right into

590
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,140
the middle of the Red Sea.

591
00:22:16,340 --> 00:22:19,620
And suddenly it all began to cave in.

592
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:21,780
Everything began to cave in.

593
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,000
The waters began to cave in.

594
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,200
I want you to look at the children

595
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,660
of Israel on the other side, on the

596
00:22:26,660 --> 00:22:28,480
banks, looking at this scene.

597
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,860
A people who had no rest.

598
00:22:31,060 --> 00:22:33,680
A people who had no peace of mind.

599
00:22:35,380 --> 00:22:37,060
And look what's happening.

600
00:22:37,540 --> 00:22:39,400
And the Egyptians pursued.

601
00:22:40,620 --> 00:22:41,400
I'll tell you what.

602
00:22:41,460 --> 00:22:42,540
Go to Exodus 14.

603
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:43,920
I want to show you the cross.

604
00:22:45,100 --> 00:22:46,440
I will show you the victory of the

605
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,420
cross in this chapter.

606
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,280
And in chapter 14 and 15 of Exodus

607
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,760
of the glorious victory, Jesus won on the

608
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,200
cross.

609
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,360
Exodus 14.

610
00:22:57,860 --> 00:22:59,720
Why don't you begin with verse 21 with

611
00:22:59,720 --> 00:22:59,860
me.

612
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,020
And I'm going to read 10 verses.

613
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,960
Beloved, will you ask the Lord to show

614
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,320
you the cross tonight in this.

615
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,920
The victory that Jesus won over the devil.

616
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:13,840
All right, verse 21.

617
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,580
And Moses stretched out his hand over the

618
00:23:16,580 --> 00:23:16,840
sea.

619
00:23:17,540 --> 00:23:19,280
And the Lord caused the sea to go

620
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,120
back by a strong east wind all that

621
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:22,420
night.

622
00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:24,800
And made the sea dry land and the

623
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:25,640
waters were divided.

624
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,660
And the children of Israel went into the

625
00:23:27,660 --> 00:23:29,640
midst of the sea upon dry ground.

626
00:23:29,940 --> 00:23:31,700
And the waters were a wall unto them

627
00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:33,000
on the right hand and on the left.

628
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,820
And the Egyptians pursued.

629
00:23:35,340 --> 00:23:38,520
Now that's the devil and his demonic powers

630
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:39,740
and his army.

631
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,280
And they went in after them to the

632
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:42,980
midst of the sea.

633
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:45,680
Even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, his horsemen.

634
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,380
And it came to pass that in the

635
00:23:47,380 --> 00:23:49,780
morning watch the Lord looked under the host

636
00:23:49,780 --> 00:23:51,580
of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire

637
00:23:51,580 --> 00:23:52,240
and the cloud.

638
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,340
And he troubled the host of the Egyptians.

639
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,740
And he took off their chariot wheels.

640
00:23:56,900 --> 00:23:57,960
And they draved them heavily.

641
00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:00,440
So that the Egyptians said, let us flee

642
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,640
from the face of Israel.

643
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,560
For the Lord fighted for them against the

644
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:03,980
Egyptians.

645
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,060
And the Lord said unto Moses, stretch out

646
00:24:07,060 --> 00:24:08,280
thine hand over the sea.

647
00:24:08,420 --> 00:24:10,900
And the waters may come again upon the

648
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:12,860
Egyptians, their chariots and upon their horsemen.

649
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,700
Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea.

650
00:24:14,980 --> 00:24:17,220
The sea returned to its strength when the

651
00:24:17,220 --> 00:24:17,820
morning appeared.

652
00:24:18,180 --> 00:24:19,560
And the Egyptians fled against it.

653
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,320
And the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the

654
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,260
midst of the sea.

655
00:24:22,820 --> 00:24:25,220
And the waters returned and covered the chariots.

656
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:27,600
And the horsemen and all the host of

657
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,800
Pharaoh that came into the sea after them.

658
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,720
There remained not so much as one of

659
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,280
them left.

660
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,240
But the children of Israel walked upon dry

661
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,320
land in the midst of the sea.

662
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:37,880
And the waters were worn to them on

663
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:38,420
either side.

664
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,720
Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out

665
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:41,660
of the hand of the Egyptians.

666
00:24:42,060 --> 00:24:45,440
And Israel, look at it now, Israel saw

667
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,880
the Egyptians dead upon the seashore.

668
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,600
And Israel saw the great work which the

669
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,300
Lord did upon the Egyptians.

670
00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:55,200
And the people feared the Lord and believed

671
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,680
the Lord and his servant Moses.

672
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:58,940
Now get the picture.

673
00:24:58,940 --> 00:24:59,920
Look this way, please.

674
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,200
They're standing watching this.

675
00:25:02,580 --> 00:25:04,520
And the Bible says they got on the

676
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:05,140
other side.

677
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,500
And when they saw what happened, a song

678
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:08,220
broke out.

679
00:25:08,780 --> 00:25:10,280
A great song broke out.

680
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,900
And the song was this.

681
00:25:13,020 --> 00:25:15,660
The horse and his rider hath he thrown

682
00:25:15,660 --> 00:25:16,480
into the sea.

683
00:25:17,180 --> 00:25:20,860
They sank, verse 10, they sank like lead

684
00:25:20,860 --> 00:25:22,580
in the mighty waters.

685
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,720
These people, what are they seeing?

686
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:30,140
They're seeing in type the victory of the

687
00:25:30,140 --> 00:25:31,500
cross of Jesus Christ.

688
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,400
That's the type, the anti-type is ours.

689
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,580
That is Jesus Christ who went down into

690
00:25:38,580 --> 00:25:42,920
the very depths and won a victory for

691
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:43,280
us.

692
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,160
And destroyed the power of the enemy.

693
00:25:48,780 --> 00:25:49,800
You know what they were singing?

694
00:25:50,660 --> 00:25:51,780
Pharaoh's dead.

695
00:25:52,820 --> 00:25:54,080
His armies are gone.

696
00:25:54,820 --> 00:25:56,740
They slept that night.

697
00:25:57,140 --> 00:25:58,560
Why did they sleep?

698
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,460
Their enemy is gone.

699
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,540
The power against them has been defeated.

700
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,240
Do you know our allied armies went against

701
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,120
Saddam Hussein?

702
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,080
And they literally destroyed his army.

703
00:26:11,820 --> 00:26:13,440
Now God didn't destroy the devil.

704
00:26:13,780 --> 00:26:15,020
He stripped him of his power.

705
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,820
There's still a devil.

706
00:26:16,940 --> 00:26:18,180
He didn't destroy him.

707
00:26:18,180 --> 00:26:19,400
He destroyed his power.

708
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,880
He destroyed his influence and power and effectiveness

709
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,200
against those who are translated out of his

710
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,940
kingdom into the kingdom of light.

711
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,960
Saddam Hussein has been stripped.

712
00:26:30,020 --> 00:26:30,660
He's still there.

713
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,280
He still rules an evil empire.

714
00:26:32,540 --> 00:26:33,440
What is left of it?

715
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,500
It's in turmoil.

716
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,200
It's full of death and murder and destruction.

717
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,300
But he's still there.

718
00:26:39,460 --> 00:26:42,000
He rules a people who are under him.

719
00:26:42,180 --> 00:26:43,300
He does not rule Kuwait.

720
00:26:43,420 --> 00:26:44,640
Kuwait has been set free.

721
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:50,220
In fact, yesterday Saddam asked permission from Schwarzkopf

722
00:26:50,220 --> 00:26:52,580
if he could fly some of his airplanes.

723
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:56,360
He had to get permission from Schwarzkopf.

724
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,000
Can you imagine the general saying, well, I

725
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:02,560
don't know.

726
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,040
And here's Saddam who scared the whole world.

727
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,780
He said, may I please fly my airplanes?

728
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,300
Is that power?

729
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:13,880
No, that is not power.

730
00:27:14,940 --> 00:27:16,720
He's been permitted to exist.

731
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,860
Now, really, they probably should have gone in

732
00:27:18,860 --> 00:27:19,680
and taken care of him.

733
00:27:19,740 --> 00:27:20,200
I don't know.

734
00:27:20,780 --> 00:27:22,040
That's beside the point.

735
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,620
All I know is that Jesus Christ on

736
00:27:24,620 --> 00:27:27,040
the cross put his heel on the serpent's

737
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:27,280
head.

738
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,860
And he literally stripped him of his kingdom

739
00:27:29,860 --> 00:27:30,820
and of his power.

740
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,160
Stripped him of the power against the kingdom

741
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:35,680
of righteousness.

742
00:27:35,940 --> 00:27:37,860
Stripped him totally of his authority.

743
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,140
And this is what I hear in the

744
00:27:41,140 --> 00:27:41,460
scripture.

745
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:44,480
This is the cross.

746
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,720
Having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a

747
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:49,800
show of them openly.

748
00:27:50,140 --> 00:27:52,380
And he triumphed over them in it.

749
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:55,740
This is the cross.

750
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,960
An absolute victory over the powers of hell.

751
00:28:00,540 --> 00:28:03,920
And through death, not just his blood, but

752
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,720
through death, he might destroy him that had

753
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:08,780
the power of death.

754
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:09,960
That is the devil.

755
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,260
And deliver them who through fear of death

756
00:28:13,260 --> 00:28:15,680
were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

757
00:28:16,620 --> 00:28:18,500
Now shall the prince of this world be

758
00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:19,360
cast out.

759
00:28:19,980 --> 00:28:22,880
Colossians 1.12 Who hath delivered us from

760
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,800
the power of darkness and translated us into

761
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,240
the kingdom of his dear son.

762
00:28:27,780 --> 00:28:30,080
Psalm 98.1 Sing unto the Lord a

763
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,160
new song, for he hath done marvelous things.

764
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,620
His right hand and his holy arm hath

765
00:28:35,620 --> 00:28:37,360
gotten him the victory.

766
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:42,320
Since the cross.

767
00:28:43,020 --> 00:28:45,820
Now what was the focus on the other

768
00:28:45,820 --> 00:28:46,300
side?

769
00:28:46,980 --> 00:28:49,500
What was the focus on the other side

770
00:28:49,500 --> 00:28:51,040
of the Red Sea?

771
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,000
What was the focus?

772
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,020
Pharaoh and his army.

773
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:56,780
Fear, turmoil.

774
00:28:56,780 --> 00:28:57,540
What was the focus?

775
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:58,700
The enemy was the focus.

776
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,100
What should be the focus on this side?

777
00:29:02,780 --> 00:29:05,160
When Jesus went to the cross.

778
00:29:05,340 --> 00:29:06,780
What is to be our focus?

779
00:29:06,780 --> 00:29:10,240
Folks, for the last five, almost ten years,

780
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,060
the church seems to be focused on the

781
00:29:12,060 --> 00:29:12,880
power of the devil.

782
00:29:14,700 --> 00:29:16,820
I mean, Christians everywhere are afraid of the

783
00:29:16,820 --> 00:29:17,100
devil.

784
00:29:17,860 --> 00:29:19,260
Afraid of evil powers.

785
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,160
We've got people in this church scared to

786
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,400
death of witches in this city.

787
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,240
Of those that are into witchcraft or the

788
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:25,680
occult.

789
00:29:25,740 --> 00:29:26,700
They almost tremble.

790
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,500
Why would you tremble?

791
00:29:30,180 --> 00:29:33,240
When by faith you should see that he

792
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,260
sank like lead in the mighty waters.

793
00:29:44,050 --> 00:29:46,810
The gospel we preach according to the scripture.

794
00:29:47,230 --> 00:29:48,630
Pulls down strongholds.

795
00:29:48,670 --> 00:29:49,510
It overpowers.

796
00:29:49,790 --> 00:29:51,690
Listen, the gospel has gone into China.

797
00:29:51,950 --> 00:29:53,670
And overpowered communism.

798
00:29:54,130 --> 00:29:56,970
It is circling the globe right now.

799
00:29:57,070 --> 00:29:58,470
The devil thought he had victory.

800
00:29:58,790 --> 00:30:00,950
And even in these last days, nothing.

801
00:30:01,390 --> 00:30:02,990
No atheist.

802
00:30:03,530 --> 00:30:04,370
Nothing communist.

803
00:30:04,710 --> 00:30:05,590
Not new age.

804
00:30:05,770 --> 00:30:06,610
Not humanism.

805
00:30:06,870 --> 00:30:10,530
Nothing can stop the glorious gospel of Christ

806
00:30:10,530 --> 00:30:11,790
from being victorious.

807
00:30:11,790 --> 00:30:14,070
The gates of hell will not prevail.

808
00:30:20,580 --> 00:30:21,640
I've got to quit yelling.

809
00:30:21,940 --> 00:30:25,020
A man came in my office the other

810
00:30:25,020 --> 00:30:25,300
day.

811
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:27,400
A Jewish man.

812
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,240
And someone had given him one of my

813
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:30,580
tapes.

814
00:30:32,180 --> 00:30:33,080
And he was playing.

815
00:30:34,460 --> 00:30:36,180
He said, Mr. Wilkinson, somebody came into my

816
00:30:36,180 --> 00:30:37,300
office and said, who's that screaming?

817
00:30:39,380 --> 00:30:40,920
He kind of said, you scream.

818
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:42,740
And I said, yeah, I scream.

819
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,480
This is the end of side one.

820
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,160
You may now turn the tape over to

821
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:49,900
side two.

822
00:30:51,860 --> 00:30:53,740
About what I'm talking about.

823
00:30:56,500 --> 00:30:59,640
Thy right hand, O Lord, hath become glorious

824
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:00,340
in power.

825
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,880
Thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in

826
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:03,700
pieces the enemy.

827
00:31:05,540 --> 00:31:06,800
Did you hear that?

828
00:31:09,490 --> 00:31:11,910
Thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in

829
00:31:11,910 --> 00:31:12,810
pieces the enemy.

830
00:31:13,990 --> 00:31:17,030
For this purpose was the Son of God

831
00:31:17,030 --> 00:31:21,050
manifested that he might destroy the works of

832
00:31:21,050 --> 00:31:21,550
the devil.

833
00:31:21,770 --> 00:31:22,770
I believe that.

834
00:31:23,430 --> 00:31:25,990
That he might destroy the works of the

835
00:31:25,990 --> 00:31:26,270
devil.

836
00:31:26,850 --> 00:31:29,070
Now there's coming a time he's going to

837
00:31:29,070 --> 00:31:30,930
bind him hand and foot and cast him

838
00:31:30,930 --> 00:31:32,950
into a lake of fire and imprison him

839
00:31:32,950 --> 00:31:33,590
for eternity.

840
00:31:35,750 --> 00:31:38,230
But he still needs him as his executioner.

841
00:31:39,630 --> 00:31:42,050
His only power is that which is permitted

842
00:31:42,050 --> 00:31:44,730
to be an executioner of his own kind.

843
00:31:46,790 --> 00:31:48,330
Jesus came as man.

844
00:31:48,570 --> 00:31:51,090
He went to the cross to destroy our

845
00:31:51,090 --> 00:31:51,370
enemy.

846
00:31:52,910 --> 00:31:54,930
And we're to serve him without fear.

847
00:31:55,690 --> 00:31:58,590
We're to serve him without fear all the

848
00:31:58,590 --> 00:31:59,530
days of our life.

849
00:31:59,630 --> 00:32:01,410
If you don't believe that, you can go

850
00:32:01,410 --> 00:32:03,890
later, Luke 1, 68 to 75, and you'll

851
00:32:03,890 --> 00:32:04,250
hear it.

852
00:32:04,250 --> 00:32:08,010
That we may serve without fear him all

853
00:32:08,010 --> 00:32:09,270
the days of our life.

854
00:32:09,350 --> 00:32:10,970
We're not to serve in fear.

855
00:32:11,470 --> 00:32:15,090
We're to have absolute, total, blessed assurance that

856
00:32:15,090 --> 00:32:17,690
Jesus has overcome all the powers of hell.

857
00:32:18,310 --> 00:32:19,490
Glory be to God.

858
00:32:24,510 --> 00:32:28,350
Another insight I want you to see tonight.

859
00:32:28,670 --> 00:32:32,830
The cross is our release from an eternal

860
00:32:32,830 --> 00:32:33,250
hell.

861
00:32:34,010 --> 00:32:36,110
It's our release from eternal hell.

862
00:32:36,430 --> 00:32:43,390
Christ, by his own blood, obtained eternal redemption

863
00:32:43,390 --> 00:32:44,510
for us.

864
00:32:45,630 --> 00:32:46,710
He obtained it.

865
00:32:46,730 --> 00:32:49,810
Now, folks, I cringe every time I hear

866
00:32:49,810 --> 00:32:53,910
this damnable teaching in the land today that

867
00:32:53,910 --> 00:32:56,890
Jesus did not atone for sin on the

868
00:32:56,890 --> 00:33:00,950
cross through his suffering and shed blood and

869
00:33:00,950 --> 00:33:01,270
death.

870
00:33:01,270 --> 00:33:04,230
That he had to go into hell and

871
00:33:04,230 --> 00:33:06,550
submit himself to the devil and had to

872
00:33:06,550 --> 00:33:07,970
be rescued out of hell.

873
00:33:08,490 --> 00:33:11,350
My brother, sister, that's damnable doctrine.

874
00:33:12,790 --> 00:33:16,710
Jesus Christ went into the grave a warrior.

875
00:33:17,950 --> 00:33:21,690
My Bible says God received him up again,

876
00:33:22,370 --> 00:33:24,190
putting an end to the agony of death

877
00:33:24,190 --> 00:33:27,330
since it was impossible for him to be

878
00:33:27,330 --> 00:33:28,470
held in its power.

879
00:33:28,470 --> 00:33:31,030
It was impossible for him to be held

880
00:33:31,030 --> 00:33:31,610
by the devil.

881
00:33:32,090 --> 00:33:34,210
It was impossible for him to yield to

882
00:33:34,210 --> 00:33:35,150
the power of the enemy.

883
00:33:37,290 --> 00:33:39,050
He had conquered him.

884
00:33:39,330 --> 00:33:42,430
He went to hell to wrestle the keys

885
00:33:42,430 --> 00:33:44,410
of life and death and hell out of

886
00:33:44,410 --> 00:33:45,070
his hands.

887
00:33:47,970 --> 00:33:49,610
He didn't go as a pauper.

888
00:33:49,690 --> 00:33:51,510
He didn't go in weakness.

889
00:33:51,690 --> 00:33:53,390
He went in the strength of the Holy

890
00:33:53,390 --> 00:33:53,910
Ghost.

891
00:33:56,910 --> 00:34:01,790
Do you know that when Jesus was in

892
00:34:01,790 --> 00:34:03,570
Gethsemane, he wept bitterly.

893
00:34:03,690 --> 00:34:04,390
He faced a cup.

894
00:34:04,690 --> 00:34:07,790
He said, Father, I would that you let

895
00:34:07,790 --> 00:34:08,870
this cup pass from me.

896
00:34:08,969 --> 00:34:11,350
And I once thought that that cup was

897
00:34:11,350 --> 00:34:13,570
the cup of sin, the sins of the

898
00:34:13,570 --> 00:34:14,630
whole world facing him.

899
00:34:14,750 --> 00:34:15,730
That's part of it.

900
00:34:15,810 --> 00:34:17,630
Or could it be personal pain?

901
00:34:17,690 --> 00:34:18,610
That may be part of it.

902
00:34:18,670 --> 00:34:20,350
But, folks, I see more than that.

903
00:34:20,889 --> 00:34:23,130
And when I saw it again this afternoon,

904
00:34:23,270 --> 00:34:25,550
it just crushed, it broke my heart.

905
00:34:27,469 --> 00:34:31,150
Jesus said himself, speaking of himself, except a

906
00:34:31,150 --> 00:34:32,790
corn of wheat fall on the ground and

907
00:34:32,790 --> 00:34:34,530
die, it abideth alone.

908
00:34:34,949 --> 00:34:37,050
But if it die, it bringeth forth much

909
00:34:37,050 --> 00:34:37,389
fruit.

910
00:34:38,050 --> 00:34:39,790
And here's what I believe Jesus...

911
00:34:39,790 --> 00:34:41,550
Here's the agony, I think, of the garden

912
00:34:41,550 --> 00:34:43,730
of Gethsemane as he faced the cross.

913
00:34:44,389 --> 00:34:45,670
He had a choice.

914
00:34:46,090 --> 00:34:47,510
He didn't have to die.

915
00:34:48,469 --> 00:34:49,550
He had a choice.

916
00:34:49,550 --> 00:34:51,730
He said, if I abide alone...

917
00:34:51,730 --> 00:34:53,150
What he's saying, if I don't die, I

918
00:34:53,150 --> 00:34:55,050
can go back to glory, but I'll be

919
00:34:55,050 --> 00:34:55,510
alone.

920
00:34:55,850 --> 00:34:56,770
I'll be alone.

921
00:34:57,190 --> 00:34:58,050
There will not...

922
00:34:58,050 --> 00:34:59,390
He looked at his disciples.

923
00:35:00,310 --> 00:35:00,710
These.

924
00:35:01,190 --> 00:35:03,570
You see, Adam's sin passed on all.

925
00:35:04,270 --> 00:35:05,610
Up to this time, he said, I've kept

926
00:35:05,610 --> 00:35:06,730
them, Lord, through your word.

927
00:35:07,430 --> 00:35:09,450
But you see, there had to be a

928
00:35:09,450 --> 00:35:10,390
price paid.

929
00:35:10,570 --> 00:35:12,090
He had to ransom his own disciples.

930
00:35:12,930 --> 00:35:13,890
And he got to thinking.

931
00:35:13,890 --> 00:35:18,110
I'm sure he heard, the Scripture says, he

932
00:35:18,110 --> 00:35:21,090
heard the groaning, the sighing of the prisoners.

933
00:35:21,770 --> 00:35:24,330
Do you know that you and I were

934
00:35:24,330 --> 00:35:25,230
damned to hell?

935
00:35:25,910 --> 00:35:29,290
You and I had the curse upon us

936
00:35:29,290 --> 00:35:30,950
of the law.

937
00:35:32,190 --> 00:35:34,790
Do you know that we deserve death, but

938
00:35:34,790 --> 00:35:36,010
not just death, but hell?

939
00:35:36,790 --> 00:35:38,690
Do you know that in hell, the Bible

940
00:35:38,690 --> 00:35:40,490
said hell enlarged its borders?

941
00:35:40,890 --> 00:35:41,770
And you know why?

942
00:35:41,770 --> 00:35:45,230
Because the devil believed that he had all

943
00:35:45,230 --> 00:35:46,710
mankind in his power.

944
00:35:47,250 --> 00:35:48,730
And I believe he had a cell with

945
00:35:48,730 --> 00:35:50,390
your name on it and my name on

946
00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:50,490
it.

947
00:35:50,630 --> 00:35:53,010
All my children, my grandchildren, there was a

948
00:35:53,010 --> 00:35:54,070
name, David Wilkerson.

949
00:35:54,490 --> 00:35:56,990
And he had the keys of death and

950
00:35:56,990 --> 00:35:57,550
of hell.

951
00:35:57,830 --> 00:35:59,510
And he had in his mind the very

952
00:35:59,510 --> 00:36:01,490
day he'd come and claim my soul.

953
00:36:02,190 --> 00:36:04,110
And I believe Jesus looked down the corridors

954
00:36:04,110 --> 00:36:04,730
of history.

955
00:36:05,230 --> 00:36:06,730
He saw his disciples.

956
00:36:07,050 --> 00:36:08,250
He saw the martyrs.

957
00:36:08,410 --> 00:36:09,630
He saw David Wilkerson.

958
00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:10,450
He saw you.

959
00:36:10,450 --> 00:36:11,550
He saw me.

960
00:36:11,970 --> 00:36:14,270
He said, I'll abide alone or I bring

961
00:36:14,270 --> 00:36:15,190
them in with me.

962
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:24,660
Without this cross, without my death, I abide

963
00:36:24,660 --> 00:36:25,300
alone.

964
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,640
You and I were going straight to hell.

965
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,340
If he hadn't gone to the cross, you

966
00:36:32,340 --> 00:36:35,380
and I tonight would be facing no hope.

967
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,600
We'd be looking at the very gates of

968
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:37,920
hell.

969
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,940
We would be looking at its flames.

970
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,540
No hope, no Redeemer, no mercy, no grace.

971
00:36:45,020 --> 00:36:46,980
I got to thinking of that today.

972
00:36:47,340 --> 00:36:49,340
Of all my children that I love and

973
00:36:49,340 --> 00:36:50,200
all my grandchildren.

974
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,160
And I got to thinking of the joy

975
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,800
of redemption that's in my heart.

976
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:55,540
The joy of being saved.

977
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,420
Walking through a cursed, wicked world with peace

978
00:37:00,420 --> 00:37:01,360
and joy.

979
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:03,980
And I said, oh Jesus, if you hadn't

980
00:37:03,980 --> 00:37:06,940
gone to the cross, I've got nothing to

981
00:37:06,940 --> 00:37:07,880
look forward to but hell.

982
00:37:07,980 --> 00:37:09,060
I've got to look at all my children

983
00:37:09,060 --> 00:37:11,040
that are going to burn for eternity in

984
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:11,640
hell.

985
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:12,760
Every one of us.

986
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:13,620
Every one in this court.

987
00:37:13,740 --> 00:37:14,880
Every one of us in this pulpit.

988
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:15,980
Every one in this house.

989
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,280
We were damned.

990
00:37:17,660 --> 00:37:20,220
The curse of Adam was put upon all

991
00:37:20,220 --> 00:37:20,780
of us.

992
00:37:23,250 --> 00:37:26,190
But the last Adam, Jesus.

993
00:37:27,870 --> 00:37:29,430
He went into hell.

994
00:37:30,330 --> 00:37:34,810
And he grabbed those keys of life and

995
00:37:34,810 --> 00:37:35,390
death.

996
00:37:36,190 --> 00:37:38,090
And when John saw him on the Isle

997
00:37:38,090 --> 00:37:39,950
of Patmos, he said, fear not.

998
00:37:40,490 --> 00:37:42,710
I was dead but I'm alive.

999
00:37:42,710 --> 00:37:45,410
And I have the keys of hell and

1000
00:37:45,410 --> 00:37:48,430
death in my hands.

1001
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,740
I see Jesus walking through hell with those

1002
00:37:55,740 --> 00:37:56,180
keys.

1003
00:37:56,580 --> 00:38:00,260
He saw my name on one of those

1004
00:38:00,260 --> 00:38:00,640
cells.

1005
00:38:01,140 --> 00:38:03,080
And he began to tear down all the

1006
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:03,440
cells.

1007
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,240
He said he came to set the prisoners

1008
00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:05,600
free.

1009
00:38:05,860 --> 00:38:08,080
Leave captivity captive.

1010
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,840
I see Jesus going into hell and tearing

1011
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:13,960
down every prison.

1012
00:38:14,260 --> 00:38:15,900
Knocking down all the walls.

1013
00:38:16,260 --> 00:38:19,280
The Bible said we have been translated out

1014
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,480
of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom

1015
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:22,560
of his dear Son.

1016
00:38:23,740 --> 00:38:26,880
And I believe my Jesus left a calling

1017
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:27,420
card.

1018
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:32,560
It said David Wilkerson translated number 10 Praise

1019
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,040
Avenue.

1020
00:38:33,460 --> 00:38:33,780
Hallelujah.

1021
00:38:33,780 --> 00:38:34,000
Hallelujah.

1022
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,260
I've been translated.

1023
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:46,620
Hallelujah.

1024
00:38:57,030 --> 00:38:58,650
I'm alive forevermore.

1025
00:38:59,530 --> 00:39:02,870
Behold I have the keys of hell and

1026
00:39:02,870 --> 00:39:03,510
of death.

1027
00:39:03,990 --> 00:39:06,490
He's got the keys of hell in his

1028
00:39:06,490 --> 00:39:07,470
hands, not the devil.

1029
00:39:09,730 --> 00:39:13,670
Even Jesus which delivered us from the wrath

1030
00:39:13,670 --> 00:39:14,170
to come.

1031
00:39:14,790 --> 00:39:15,350
Hallelujah.

1032
00:39:15,350 --> 00:39:15,510
Hallelujah.

1033
00:39:16,310 --> 00:39:19,090
Oh, I cut to thinking today.

1034
00:39:19,570 --> 00:39:22,710
Jesus, I've been trying to understand your cross.

1035
00:39:24,850 --> 00:39:25,490
You know what?

1036
00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:27,610
It's so hard.

1037
00:39:30,030 --> 00:39:32,750
David, you were going to hell.

1038
00:39:34,570 --> 00:39:36,370
He knew it way back then.

1039
00:39:38,030 --> 00:39:39,470
You know we were in his heart even

1040
00:39:39,470 --> 00:39:39,770
then.

1041
00:39:40,670 --> 00:39:41,710
Do you know he saw you?

1042
00:39:41,810 --> 00:39:42,370
He saw me.

1043
00:39:42,450 --> 00:39:42,990
He's God.

1044
00:39:42,990 --> 00:39:45,510
Do you know that was the blood of

1045
00:39:45,510 --> 00:39:46,350
God on the cross?

1046
00:39:46,810 --> 00:39:48,070
That was the blood of God.

1047
00:39:48,750 --> 00:39:50,330
The blood of Almighty God.

1048
00:39:51,290 --> 00:39:52,870
Jesus said, you've seen me, you've seen the

1049
00:39:52,870 --> 00:39:53,190
Father.

1050
00:39:55,450 --> 00:39:56,930
I'm not going to preach much longer, but

1051
00:39:56,930 --> 00:39:59,350
you've got to stop right now and understand.

1052
00:40:00,170 --> 00:40:01,550
The scripture says very clear.

1053
00:40:02,530 --> 00:40:04,910
He regards the prayer of the destitute.

1054
00:40:05,510 --> 00:40:07,470
And he heard the groaning of the prisoners.

1055
00:40:08,170 --> 00:40:10,530
And he loosened those appointed to death.

1056
00:40:12,250 --> 00:40:15,150
Jesus said, from Isaiah it said, He has

1057
00:40:15,150 --> 00:40:17,770
sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to

1058
00:40:17,770 --> 00:40:20,870
proclaim liberty to the captives, and to open

1059
00:40:20,870 --> 00:40:23,430
all the prison doors to them that are

1060
00:40:23,430 --> 00:40:23,770
bound.

1061
00:40:24,430 --> 00:40:24,750
Hallelujah.

1062
00:40:26,510 --> 00:40:28,230
Thank God for the cross.

1063
00:40:29,050 --> 00:40:31,730
Thank God Jesus said, not my will, Father,

1064
00:40:31,810 --> 00:40:32,750
but thine be done.

1065
00:40:34,730 --> 00:40:36,670
And on that third day when he came

1066
00:40:36,670 --> 00:40:40,810
out of that grave, he took me with

1067
00:40:40,810 --> 00:40:41,010
him.

1068
00:40:41,310 --> 00:40:42,090
He took you with him.

1069
00:40:42,290 --> 00:40:43,770
We all came out of that grave.

1070
00:40:43,970 --> 00:40:45,150
We've all been resurrected.

1071
00:40:45,830 --> 00:40:48,330
We all have eternal life in Jesus Christ

1072
00:40:48,330 --> 00:40:49,010
our Lord.

1073
00:40:49,650 --> 00:40:50,530
Will you stand, please?

1074
00:40:50,610 --> 00:40:51,210
Will you stand?

1075
00:40:52,870 --> 00:40:53,450
Will you stand?

1076
00:40:58,050 --> 00:40:59,450
We're redeemed, Jesus.

1077
00:40:59,650 --> 00:41:01,170
We're redeemed by your blood.

1078
00:41:01,490 --> 00:41:03,770
The blood of the Lamb of God.

1079
00:41:04,090 --> 00:41:05,210
Redeemed, redeemed.

1080
00:41:13,070 --> 00:41:14,850
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

1081
00:41:23,810 --> 00:41:28,430
We were reconciled to God by the death

1082
00:41:28,430 --> 00:41:29,370
of his Son.

1083
00:41:30,690 --> 00:41:32,290
By the death of his Son.

1084
00:41:33,110 --> 00:41:33,490
Hallelujah.

1085
00:41:34,370 --> 00:41:36,270
Would you just right now say, thank you

1086
00:41:36,270 --> 00:41:37,370
for dying for me, Jesus.

1087
00:41:38,250 --> 00:41:40,310
Thank you for setting me free from the

1088
00:41:40,310 --> 00:41:41,210
prison of the devil.

1089
00:41:42,150 --> 00:41:44,310
Satan had me bound, but Jesus set me

1090
00:41:44,310 --> 00:41:44,610
free.

1091
00:41:45,190 --> 00:41:47,990
Satan had me bound, but Jesus set me

1092
00:41:47,990 --> 00:41:48,270
free.

1093
00:41:48,270 --> 00:41:48,710
Hallelujah.

1094
00:41:49,290 --> 00:41:50,530
Free from drugs.

1095
00:41:50,810 --> 00:41:51,570
Free from alcohol.

1096
00:41:52,210 --> 00:41:52,970
Free from lust.

1097
00:41:53,290 --> 00:41:54,170
Free from sin.

1098
00:41:54,730 --> 00:41:56,330
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

1099
00:41:57,090 --> 00:41:59,010
You've set us free, Lord Jesus.

1100
00:41:59,710 --> 00:42:01,650
Free, free, free, free.

1101
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,660
Now, I'm going to ask you.

1102
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:17,140
The scripture said he hears the sighing of

1103
00:42:17,140 --> 00:42:17,680
the prisoner.

1104
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:19,720
And some of you up in the balcony

1105
00:42:19,720 --> 00:42:21,920
and right here in the main floor, you're

1106
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:22,800
still in prison.

1107
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,060
You don't know.

1108
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:26,040
You've not enjoyed the freedom the Lord's provided

1109
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:26,320
for you.

1110
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,960
You see, it's not yours until by faith

1111
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:29,660
you take it.

1112
00:42:30,060 --> 00:42:32,180
By faith you come and say, Jesus, I

1113
00:42:32,180 --> 00:42:33,260
give my all to you.

1114
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:34,840
Some of you walked away from the Lord.

1115
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:35,780
Some of you are backslidden.

1116
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:36,720
You're going cold.

1117
00:42:36,860 --> 00:42:38,300
You're indifferent toward the Lord.

1118
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,180
He brought you here tonight to show you

1119
00:42:41,180 --> 00:42:42,220
his great mercy.

1120
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,100
Wouldn't it be foolish for somebody that's in

1121
00:42:48,100 --> 00:42:52,360
hell to have Jesus knock on his cell

1122
00:42:52,820 --> 00:42:55,700
and wake him up and say, look, I'm

1123
00:42:55,700 --> 00:42:56,440
going to open these doors.

1124
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:57,340
Will you come with me?

1125
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,700
Wouldn't it be foolish for that person to

1126
00:42:59,700 --> 00:43:00,180
stay in hell?

1127
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,900
And that's what I don't understand.

1128
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,680
Jesus here tonight saying, come on, I'm going

1129
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:05,560
to open the doors.

1130
00:43:05,900 --> 00:43:07,300
I'm going to break the chains that bind

1131
00:43:07,300 --> 00:43:07,560
you.

1132
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:08,600
Come on with me.

1133
00:43:08,820 --> 00:43:10,040
I want you to have freedom.

1134
00:43:10,340 --> 00:43:12,320
I want you to rejoice in me.

1135
00:43:12,420 --> 00:43:13,520
I'm going to give you a new heart

1136
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:14,300
and a new life.

1137
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:16,600
How foolish.

1138
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,540
How foolish not to accept that offer.

1139
00:43:19,540 --> 00:43:22,940
And that's how foolish sin is.

1140
00:43:23,060 --> 00:43:25,180
That's how stupid it is to follow the

1141
00:43:25,180 --> 00:43:25,480
devil.

1142
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,820
Nothing but damnation and hell.

1143
00:43:30,290 --> 00:43:32,510
If you're not free, if you're in prison,

1144
00:43:32,630 --> 00:43:33,130
you're bound.

1145
00:43:33,870 --> 00:43:35,110
I want you to get out of your

1146
00:43:35,110 --> 00:43:36,570
seat, up in the balcony, go to either

1147
00:43:36,570 --> 00:43:38,270
exit on either side and come down these

1148
00:43:38,270 --> 00:43:38,630
aisles.

1149
00:43:39,310 --> 00:43:41,050
Come down the stairs and right down the

1150
00:43:41,050 --> 00:43:41,650
aisle and meet me here.

1151
00:43:41,870 --> 00:43:43,350
And here in the main auditorium also.

1152
00:43:43,930 --> 00:43:45,330
Holy Spirit, I want you to speak.

1153
00:43:45,770 --> 00:43:46,950
You can come right while I'm praying.

1154
00:43:47,430 --> 00:43:48,270
Get right out of your seat.

1155
00:43:48,350 --> 00:43:49,830
Say, Brother Dave, I want that freedom.

1156
00:43:49,830 --> 00:43:52,610
I know Jesus died to set me free.

1157
00:43:52,750 --> 00:43:54,470
I don't want to go through this bondage

1158
00:43:54,470 --> 00:43:54,790
anymore.

1159
00:43:54,790 --> 00:43:55,910
I want to be free.

1160
00:43:56,510 --> 00:43:58,150
I want to give everything to Him tonight.

1161
00:43:58,250 --> 00:44:00,070
Wherever you're at, all over this building, many

1162
00:44:00,070 --> 00:44:01,690
of you who've grown a little cold and

1163
00:44:01,690 --> 00:44:04,290
slipped away from His love, come back to

1164
00:44:04,290 --> 00:44:05,290
His heart right now.

1165
00:44:05,370 --> 00:44:08,270
Up there, you may turn to somebody that

1166
00:44:08,270 --> 00:44:10,050
you brought and say, I'll go with you.

1167
00:44:10,090 --> 00:44:11,270
I'll go with you tonight.

1168
00:44:11,890 --> 00:44:12,790
You can come with them.

1169
00:44:12,890 --> 00:44:14,130
Say, hey, let's go.

1170
00:44:14,210 --> 00:44:15,610
I'll walk down that aisle with you.

1171
00:44:16,130 --> 00:44:17,750
Jesus wants to settle it with you.

1172
00:44:17,750 --> 00:44:20,830
He wants to absolutely break the power of

1173
00:44:20,830 --> 00:44:21,890
sin over your life.

1174
00:44:23,210 --> 00:44:24,450
Does sin have you in its grip?

1175
00:44:25,190 --> 00:44:27,850
Let Jesus break that chain.

1176
00:44:27,970 --> 00:44:29,070
Tonight, follow these that are coming.

1177
00:44:29,170 --> 00:44:30,350
Up in the balcony, now feel the tug

1178
00:44:30,350 --> 00:44:30,910
of the Holy Spirit.

1179
00:44:31,190 --> 00:44:32,330
Wherever you're at, all over this building.

1180
00:44:32,730 --> 00:44:34,250
Lord, I pray you send conviction.

1181
00:44:34,410 --> 00:44:37,230
Holy Spirit, settle over this house with great

1182
00:44:37,230 --> 00:44:37,810
conviction.

1183
00:44:39,790 --> 00:44:42,090
Call, call those who need you tonight.

1184
00:44:42,570 --> 00:44:43,690
Those who need to be awakened.

1185
00:44:44,310 --> 00:44:46,010
Those who need to be shaken and stirred.

1186
00:44:46,870 --> 00:44:48,550
Right now, come now as we sing.

1187
00:44:49,130 --> 00:44:50,050
Up in the balcony here in the main

1188
00:44:50,050 --> 00:44:50,170
floor.

1189
00:44:50,230 --> 00:44:50,970
Get right out of your seat.

1190
00:44:51,310 --> 00:44:52,170
Come and we're going to pray for a

1191
00:44:52,170 --> 00:44:53,350
miracle in your heart tonight.

1192
00:44:53,470 --> 00:44:54,630
Lord's going to do a great thing in

1193
00:44:54,630 --> 00:44:55,070
your life.

1194
00:44:56,270 --> 00:44:57,010
Don't hold back.

1195
00:44:57,110 --> 00:44:57,950
Let God have His way.

1196
00:44:58,950 --> 00:45:03,190
Oh, Jesus.

1197
00:45:05,850 --> 00:45:08,990
Oh, Jesus.

1198
00:45:11,450 --> 00:45:17,190
Lord, You are the mother dear.

1199
00:45:17,510 --> 00:45:21,650
Oh, how sweet You are.

1200
00:45:21,650 --> 00:45:27,110
Oh, great You are.

1201
00:45:28,130 --> 00:45:32,890
Oh, Lord, we are.

1202
00:45:34,190 --> 00:45:40,110
To lay down our lives in love and

1203
00:45:40,110 --> 00:45:41,870
worship You.

1204
00:45:42,090 --> 00:45:42,790
Hallelujah.

1205
00:47:44,060 --> 00:47:53,520
O Jesus, won't you walk

1206
00:47:53,520 --> 00:48:01,120
among us here, O Lord, and free us,

1207
00:48:01,780 --> 00:48:09,060
O free us, O free

1208
00:48:09,060 --> 00:48:11,820
us?

1209
00:48:11,820 --> 00:48:18,400
To lay down our lives in love and

1210
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:29,440
worship you, O Jesus, O

1211
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:38,500
Jesus, won't you walk among us

1212
00:48:38,500 --> 00:48:47,060
here, O Lord, and free us, O free

1213
00:48:47,060 --> 00:48:54,460
us, O free us?

1214
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:01,860
To lay down our lives in love and

1215
00:49:06,690 --> 00:49:06,790
worship you, O Jesus, O Jesus, won't you

1216
00:49:06,790 --> 00:49:06,890
walk among us here, O Lord, and free

1217
00:49:06,890 --> 00:49:06,990
us?

1218
00:49:06,990 --> 00:49:08,050
You can still come while I'm talking.

1219
00:49:08,210 --> 00:49:09,550
Now you that came forward, look this way

1220
00:49:09,550 --> 00:49:10,210
please right now.

1221
00:49:10,210 --> 00:49:12,390
The Lord's put one word in my heart,

1222
00:49:12,590 --> 00:49:12,970
freedom.

1223
00:49:13,390 --> 00:49:13,950
Freedom.

1224
00:49:14,470 --> 00:49:17,290
That you today, right now tonight, can walk

1225
00:49:17,290 --> 00:49:18,870
away from this place free.

1226
00:49:19,430 --> 00:49:21,570
Absolutely free from the hold of the devil.

1227
00:49:21,950 --> 00:49:23,570
You can have peace, you can end your

1228
00:49:23,570 --> 00:49:26,610
turmoil tonight, if you'll simply trust what he

1229
00:49:26,610 --> 00:49:27,510
said right now.

1230
00:49:27,910 --> 00:49:34,090
That Jesus overpowered the enemy and crushed his

1231
00:49:34,090 --> 00:49:36,190
head and he cannot hold you.

1232
00:49:36,190 --> 00:49:38,670
If you know the devil can't hold you,

1233
00:49:40,190 --> 00:49:42,990
why even let him pretend that he holds

1234
00:49:42,990 --> 00:49:43,170
you?

1235
00:49:43,810 --> 00:49:45,010
He can't hold you.

1236
00:49:45,250 --> 00:49:47,450
You are free by faith in Jesus.

1237
00:49:47,910 --> 00:49:48,710
Raise your hands a little.

1238
00:49:48,790 --> 00:49:49,970
Just lift up your hands right now and

1239
00:49:49,970 --> 00:49:50,870
pray this with me right now.

1240
00:49:50,910 --> 00:49:53,410
Jesus, you came to set me free.

1241
00:49:54,610 --> 00:49:55,950
You broke the power of the devil.

1242
00:49:57,350 --> 00:49:58,530
I don't have to break it.

1243
00:49:59,330 --> 00:50:00,190
You did it.

1244
00:50:00,190 --> 00:50:04,590
You set me free and by faith I'm

1245
00:50:04,590 --> 00:50:06,970
repenting and I'm giving you my sins.

1246
00:50:07,570 --> 00:50:10,650
Give me power to be free.

1247
00:50:11,730 --> 00:50:14,670
I will not be held by the power

1248
00:50:14,670 --> 00:50:17,930
of Satan because it's not a true power.

1249
00:50:19,090 --> 00:50:20,270
It's a lie.

1250
00:50:21,250 --> 00:50:23,850
The devil's a liar and I don't have

1251
00:50:23,850 --> 00:50:25,110
to believe his accusations.

1252
00:50:26,410 --> 00:50:31,790
By faith I'm forgiven, I'm free and I'm

1253
00:50:31,790 --> 00:50:32,370
saved.

1254
00:50:33,190 --> 00:50:34,150
Now just thank him.

1255
00:50:34,330 --> 00:50:36,090
Lord, I thank you Lord for that freedom.

1256
00:50:36,770 --> 00:50:38,070
Thank you Lord for that freedom.

1257
00:50:39,090 --> 00:50:40,470
Jesus, I believe you.

1258
00:50:41,390 --> 00:50:42,130
There's victory.

1259
00:50:43,610 --> 00:50:45,470
Absolute victory in the cross of Jesus.

1260
00:50:46,430 --> 00:50:48,190
Absolute victory in the cross of Jesus.

1261
00:50:50,950 --> 00:50:51,270
Hallelujah.

1262
00:50:51,270 --> 00:50:52,790
How many of you came forward for the

1263
00:50:52,790 --> 00:50:53,670
first time in this church?

1264
00:50:53,730 --> 00:50:54,730
You've never been up here before.

1265
00:50:54,850 --> 00:50:55,590
Raise your hand please.

1266
00:50:55,930 --> 00:50:57,090
Your first time to come up here to

1267
00:50:57,090 --> 00:50:57,450
the front.

1268
00:50:57,590 --> 00:50:58,450
Raise your hand please.

1269
00:50:58,730 --> 00:50:59,410
Yes, over here.

1270
00:50:59,770 --> 00:50:59,890
Here.

1271
00:51:00,210 --> 00:51:01,530
Alright, here's what I'd like you to do.

1272
00:51:01,630 --> 00:51:03,090
Will you go right through this exit into

1273
00:51:03,090 --> 00:51:04,210
the prayer room so we can pray with

1274
00:51:04,210 --> 00:51:04,310
you.

1275
00:51:04,470 --> 00:51:06,230
You don't sign anything, you don't join anything.

1276
00:51:06,550 --> 00:51:07,830
We'd like to minister to you.

1277
00:51:08,110 --> 00:51:09,670
Go right, make your way right through the

1278
00:51:09,670 --> 00:51:09,810
crowd.

1279
00:51:09,890 --> 00:51:11,050
All of you who had your hand raised,

1280
00:51:11,350 --> 00:51:12,530
go right this way if you will please.

1281
00:51:12,530 --> 00:51:15,130
We need our counselors please in the prayer

1282
00:51:15,130 --> 00:51:15,350
room.

1283
00:51:15,530 --> 00:51:16,490
That's it, follow these.

1284
00:51:16,610 --> 00:51:18,010
God's going to complete the good work that

1285
00:51:18,010 --> 00:51:18,950
he's begun in your heart.

1286
00:51:19,370 --> 00:51:21,010
He that's begun a work in your heart

1287
00:51:21,010 --> 00:51:21,950
shall finish it, he said.

1288
00:51:22,030 --> 00:51:23,830
Complete it to the day of the Lord.

1289
00:51:24,310 --> 00:51:24,970
Praise God.

1290
00:51:26,350 --> 00:51:27,930
Some of these young people, I know God's

1291
00:51:27,930 --> 00:51:29,710
going to just absolutely open up their hearts

1292
00:51:29,710 --> 00:51:31,530
in a wonderful new way.

1293
00:51:32,030 --> 00:51:32,770
Praise you Jesus.

1294
00:51:32,910 --> 00:51:34,350
Lord, I pray for all these going into

1295
00:51:34,350 --> 00:51:36,190
the prayer room that you will open up

1296
00:51:36,190 --> 00:51:38,990
their hearts in a precious, wonderful way and

1297
00:51:38,990 --> 00:51:41,390
complete the work of conviction and healing.

1298
00:51:41,390 --> 00:51:43,290
Will you pray with me that folks?

1299
00:51:43,370 --> 00:51:44,970
Lord, I pray that there'll be a total

1300
00:51:44,970 --> 00:51:46,770
healing of hearts and hurts.

1301
00:51:47,290 --> 00:51:49,610
Jesus, a total deliverance from the power of

1302
00:51:49,610 --> 00:51:49,930
the enemy.

1303
00:51:50,650 --> 00:51:51,450
Glory to God.

1304
00:51:51,570 --> 00:51:52,590
Every habit broken.

1305
00:51:53,630 --> 00:51:55,110
There'll be victory in Jesus.

1306
00:51:56,790 --> 00:52:03,010
Beloved, we're going to sing, I'm so glad

1307
00:52:03,010 --> 00:52:05,210
Jesus set me free.

1308
00:52:05,210 --> 00:52:09,550
But before we do, before we do, will

1309
00:52:09,550 --> 00:52:11,010
you stop and think for just a minute.

1310
00:52:12,810 --> 00:52:16,210
Why you and I should be absolutely beside

1311
00:52:16,210 --> 00:52:17,070
ourselves with joy.

1312
00:52:17,770 --> 00:52:20,030
We ought to be shouting with joy.

1313
00:52:22,550 --> 00:52:26,130
We were damned, we were hopelessly lost.

1314
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:28,690
And it's so wonderful.

1315
00:52:29,270 --> 00:52:31,570
Do you know the world outside doesn't have

1316
00:52:31,570 --> 00:52:31,930
this?

1317
00:52:32,350 --> 00:52:34,030
They don't have this hope.

1318
00:52:34,150 --> 00:52:36,470
They don't have this peace, this joy.

1319
00:52:36,950 --> 00:52:38,970
But you and I have the knowledge that,

1320
00:52:39,250 --> 00:52:41,650
witness of the Holy Spirit, that we are

1321
00:52:41,650 --> 00:52:42,330
redeemed.

1322
00:52:42,790 --> 00:52:44,550
That the power of hell has been broken.

1323
00:52:44,910 --> 00:52:47,210
We have a right to clap our hands

1324
00:52:47,210 --> 00:52:48,910
and sing and shout and praise the Lord.

1325
00:52:49,190 --> 00:52:51,490
I'm so glad Jesus set me free.

1326
00:52:51,690 --> 00:52:53,110
I want you to sing that like you

1327
00:52:53,110 --> 00:52:54,150
never sang it in your life.

1328
00:52:54,150 --> 00:52:56,130
And I want you to picture yourself walking

1329
00:52:56,130 --> 00:52:57,610
right out of the clutches of the devil.

1330
00:52:58,410 --> 00:53:01,170
Translated, plucked right out of hell, planted in

1331
00:53:01,170 --> 00:53:03,050
the kingdom of his dear son, Jesus.

1332
00:53:03,190 --> 00:53:03,510
Hallelujah.

1333
00:53:03,850 --> 00:53:06,230
I'm so glad Satan had me bound, but

1334
00:53:06,230 --> 00:53:08,630
Jesus set me free by his cross.

1335
00:53:08,730 --> 00:53:09,030
Hallelujah.

1336
00:53:09,430 --> 00:53:10,810
You can return to your seats.

1337
00:53:11,090 --> 00:53:12,510
Return to your seats if you will, please.

1338
00:53:21,210 --> 00:53:24,570
I'm so glad Jesus set me free.

1339
00:53:24,850 --> 00:53:28,810
Oh, I'm so glad Jesus set me free.

1340
00:53:29,070 --> 00:53:33,010
Singing glory, hallelujah, Jesus set me free.

1341
00:53:33,330 --> 00:53:37,530
Oh, I'm so glad Jesus set me free.

1342
00:53:38,170 --> 00:53:41,730
I'm so glad Jesus set me free.

1343
00:53:42,430 --> 00:53:45,910
I'm so glad Jesus set me free.

1344
00:53:45,910 --> 00:53:50,250
Singing glory, hallelujah, Jesus set me free.

1345
00:53:50,850 --> 00:53:54,070
Satan had me bound, but Jesus set me

1346
00:53:54,070 --> 00:53:54,630
free.

1347
00:53:54,690 --> 00:53:58,170
Oh, Satan had me bound, but Jesus set

1348
00:53:58,170 --> 00:53:58,690
me free.

1349
00:53:59,250 --> 00:54:02,630
Satan had me bound, but Jesus set me

1350
00:54:02,630 --> 00:54:02,950
free.

1351
00:54:03,130 --> 00:54:07,190
Singing glory, hallelujah, Jesus set me free.

1352
00:54:07,190 --> 00:54:10,950
Oh, Satan had me bound, but Jesus set

1353
00:54:10,950 --> 00:54:11,470
me free.

1354
00:54:11,950 --> 00:54:15,390
Satan had me bound, but Jesus set me

1355
00:54:15,390 --> 00:54:16,030
free.

1356
00:54:16,370 --> 00:54:19,590
Satan had me bound, but Jesus set me

1357
00:54:19,590 --> 00:54:19,970
free.

1358
00:54:20,230 --> 00:54:24,170
Singing glory, hallelujah, Jesus set me free.

1359
00:54:24,410 --> 00:54:28,530
Oh, I'm so glad Jesus set me free.

1360
00:54:28,850 --> 00:54:32,910
Oh, I'm so glad Jesus set me free.

1361
00:54:32,910 --> 00:54:37,050
I'm so glad Jesus set me free.

1362
00:54:37,130 --> 00:54:41,090
Singing glory, hallelujah, Jesus set me free.

1363
00:54:41,090 --> 00:54:45,610
Oh, I'm so glad Jesus set me free.

1364

Singing glory, hallelujah, Jesus set me free.

1367
00:54:58,630 --> 00:55:01,110
This is the conclusion of the tape.
