7. 20 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,120 It is exactly what the Lord is trying 21 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,080 to send this profound message to all of 22 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,040 us, our beloveds, and that is, when are 23 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,380 we going to be satisfied? 24 00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:37,180 When are we going to be happy and 25 00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:37,740 satisfied? 26 00:01:38,860 --> 00:01:44,180 When the weather is cold, we complain and 27 00:01:44,180 --> 00:01:47,620 when the weather is hot, we also complain. 28 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,000 When it is raining like today, we complain. 29 00:01:52,380 --> 00:01:54,240 This is why I asked you, see, I 30 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,000 got you. 31 00:01:56,500 --> 00:02:00,340 It is a miserable weather, Father, but you 32 00:02:00,340 --> 00:02:01,100 know what? 33 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,480 Every condition and every situation we go through, 34 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,080 there is always a complaint of some sort. 35 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,000 We are never content. 36 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,520 We are never happy. 37 00:02:20,850 --> 00:02:27,770 The Gospel of today is about this woman 38 00:02:27,770 --> 00:02:29,230 who happens to be a sinner. 39 00:02:30,210 --> 00:02:31,370 Big deal. 40 00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:32,950 Who isn't? 41 00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:35,290 Aren't we all sinners? 42 00:02:36,590 --> 00:02:38,130 Aren't we all sinners? 43 00:02:39,970 --> 00:02:42,870 Well, the Lord Jesus was invited into one 44 00:02:42,870 --> 00:02:44,790 of these Pharisees' house. 45 00:02:45,390 --> 00:02:51,490 His name was Simon and being a Pharisee, 46 00:02:51,570 --> 00:02:53,270 meaning he is a man of the law, 47 00:02:54,570 --> 00:02:58,190 he watches every letter, every word. 48 00:02:58,790 --> 00:03:01,130 He puts it under the microscope and makes 49 00:03:01,130 --> 00:03:05,370 sure that everyone adheres to it except himself. 50 00:03:07,210 --> 00:03:10,230 He is the first one that has broken 51 00:03:10,230 --> 00:03:13,030 the very law which he thinks he has 52 00:03:13,030 --> 00:03:13,530 mastered. 53 00:03:15,530 --> 00:03:18,270 He is the first one that has broken 54 00:03:18,270 --> 00:03:21,050 the very law which he thought he had 55 00:03:21,050 --> 00:03:21,490 mastered. 56 00:03:22,230 --> 00:03:25,590 So anyway, the Lord was invited into this 57 00:03:25,590 --> 00:03:29,590 Pharisee's house by the name of Simon. 58 00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:34,610 And while the Lord was sitting there, this 59 00:03:34,610 --> 00:03:39,030 woman hears that he is in this Pharisee's 60 00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:39,350 house. 61 00:03:39,470 --> 00:03:40,590 Jesus Christ is there. 62 00:03:40,830 --> 00:03:44,110 So she runs and she brings along with 63 00:03:44,110 --> 00:03:48,550 her an alabaster flask of fragrant oil and 64 00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:54,250 she comes from behind him and starts washing 65 00:03:54,250 --> 00:03:58,530 the Lord's feet with her own tears and 66 00:03:58,530 --> 00:04:01,230 then drying them up with the hair of 67 00:04:01,230 --> 00:04:01,770 her head. 68 00:04:02,810 --> 00:04:06,290 And then she pours that fragrant oil, a 69 00:04:06,290 --> 00:04:09,450 very expensive one, on the Lord's feet and 70 00:04:09,450 --> 00:04:11,130 anoints the Lord's feet. 71 00:04:12,250 --> 00:04:18,529 This Simon, this Pharisee, this master of the 72 00:04:18,529 --> 00:04:25,610 law, in his heart says silently, if this 73 00:04:25,610 --> 00:04:29,390 man was a prophet, if this man, referring 74 00:04:29,390 --> 00:04:31,850 to the Lord Jesus, if this man was 75 00:04:31,850 --> 00:04:34,490 a prophet, he would have known what kind 76 00:04:34,490 --> 00:04:36,470 of a woman touched him. 77 00:04:36,650 --> 00:04:39,690 He wouldn't have allowed that to happen but 78 00:04:39,690 --> 00:04:43,510 looks like what I heard about him maybe 79 00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:45,010 was a mistake. 80 00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:50,830 Since Jesus Christ is God revealed in the 81 00:04:50,830 --> 00:04:55,050 flesh, i.e. reads every heart, reads every 82 00:04:55,050 --> 00:04:58,950 mind, every thought, every human being, the Lord 83 00:04:58,950 --> 00:05:02,030 knew what this man had just said and 84 00:05:02,030 --> 00:05:03,310 judged in his heart. 85 00:05:04,530 --> 00:05:07,670 So the Lord turns to Simon the Pharisee 86 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:13,810 and he asks him this question but he 87 00:05:13,810 --> 00:05:16,710 gives him this little story then the Lord 88 00:05:16,710 --> 00:05:19,430 follows with it with a question. 89 00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:22,930 He says there was a creditor who had 90 00:05:22,930 --> 00:05:23,810 two debtors. 91 00:05:24,470 --> 00:05:28,410 One owed him 500 denarii and the other 92 00:05:28,410 --> 00:05:31,050 one owed him 50 denarii. 93 00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:35,130 Both of them were unable to repay the 94 00:05:35,130 --> 00:05:35,530 debt. 95 00:05:36,350 --> 00:05:40,410 This creditor happens to be a very merciful 96 00:05:40,410 --> 00:05:42,530 person, a very kind one. 97 00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:45,770 He forgives them both their debts. 98 00:05:46,530 --> 00:05:50,250 Then the Lord asks Simon the Pharisee, Simon 99 00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:56,030 which of these two debtors loved the creditor 100 00:05:56,030 --> 00:05:57,130 the most? 101 00:05:58,870 --> 00:06:02,130 Simon with confidence replies and says to the 102 00:06:02,130 --> 00:06:05,470 Lord Jesus, I believe the one who owed 103 00:06:05,470 --> 00:06:07,530 the most 500. 104 00:06:08,530 --> 00:06:11,090 Of course the one who was owing 500 105 00:06:11,090 --> 00:06:14,210 would have loved this owner more than the 106 00:06:14,210 --> 00:06:15,610 one who owed him 50. 107 00:06:16,890 --> 00:06:20,870 The Lord says to Simon, so correctly you 108 00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:21,470 have judged. 109 00:06:22,470 --> 00:06:25,510 Simon let me then say this to you. 110 00:06:26,610 --> 00:06:28,990 You see this woman whom you just judged 111 00:06:28,990 --> 00:06:33,910 in your own heart, I entered your house, 112 00:06:34,190 --> 00:06:36,950 you did not give me water to my 113 00:06:36,950 --> 00:06:37,390 feet. 114 00:06:37,890 --> 00:06:41,350 This woman with her teeth she washed my 115 00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:41,730 feet. 116 00:06:42,590 --> 00:06:45,390 You did not even kiss me. 117 00:06:45,690 --> 00:06:49,830 This woman ever since she came in did 118 00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:52,550 not stop from kissing my feet. 119 00:06:53,850 --> 00:06:57,690 You did not anoint my head with oil. 120 00:06:58,090 --> 00:07:02,270 This woman anointed my feet with fragrant oil. 121 00:07:03,230 --> 00:07:09,210 Therefore because she loved the most her sins 122 00:07:09,210 --> 00:07:09,970 are forgiven. 123 00:07:10,810 --> 00:07:13,990 Because he who loves a lot a lot 124 00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:17,670 is forgiven and he who loves little little 125 00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:19,370 shall he be forgiven. 126 00:07:21,750 --> 00:07:24,290 And then he turns to the woman and 127 00:07:24,290 --> 00:07:30,010 says, your faith has saved you. 128 00:07:30,570 --> 00:07:32,050 Go in peace. 129 00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:36,570 Your faith has saved you. 130 00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:39,390 Go in peace. 131 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,720 Prior to that, the Lord begins with verse 132 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:54,260 31 and says, who do I liken the 133 00:07:54,260 --> 00:07:58,300 people of this generation and what do they, 134 00:07:58,460 --> 00:07:59,580 who do they look like? 135 00:08:00,020 --> 00:08:03,080 They look like little children in the street 136 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,480 or in the marketplace. 137 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,040 This group of children saw another group of 138 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,020 children and they yelled out to them and 139 00:08:12,020 --> 00:08:14,640 they said, we played the flute for you 140 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:19,040 and you did not dance and we mourned 141 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,040 for you and you did not weep. 142 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,780 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread 143 00:08:26,780 --> 00:08:29,360 nor drinking wine and you said he's got 144 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:29,860 a demon. 145 00:08:31,260 --> 00:08:33,580 He has a demon in him because he's 146 00:08:33,580 --> 00:08:36,020 not eating, he's not drinking, there is something 147 00:08:36,020 --> 00:08:38,559 wrong with him, mentally sick. 148 00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:43,520 And then the son of man came eating 149 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:49,980 and drinking and you said he's a glutton 150 00:08:49,980 --> 00:08:53,440 and a wine bibber and a friend of 151 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,860 tax collectors and sinners. 152 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,000 Which one is it? 153 00:08:58,620 --> 00:09:01,160 So if I come eating and drinking you 154 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,500 say, why are you eating and drinking? 155 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,820 And if I come not eating nor drinking 156 00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:07,420 you say, what's wrong with you? 157 00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:09,520 Why aren't you eating nor drinking? 158 00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:13,920 How do I win with you people? 159 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,480 What else can there be done that has 160 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,880 never been done by me, I Jesus Christ? 161 00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:25,160 I've done everything for you but you are 162 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,940 still whinging and complaining. 163 00:09:26,940 --> 00:09:31,100 Until when are you going to stop from 164 00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:35,440 complaining and once in your life say, thank 165 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,740 you Lord, I am very content with everything 166 00:09:39,740 --> 00:09:43,260 you have given me and you have done 167 00:09:43,260 --> 00:09:44,000 for me. 168 00:09:49,730 --> 00:09:53,290 You can never satisfy people. 169 00:09:55,330 --> 00:09:56,690 Please pay attention. 170 00:09:57,870 --> 00:10:01,610 You can never satisfy people no matter what 171 00:10:01,610 --> 00:10:04,850 you do or not to do. 172 00:10:06,510 --> 00:10:10,070 A little beautiful story. 173 00:10:11,650 --> 00:10:14,630 There was this young man and all young 174 00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:18,130 men and women are are energetic, they're very 175 00:10:18,130 --> 00:10:20,550 enthusiastic and they're on fire. 176 00:10:21,570 --> 00:10:23,070 No matter what you say to them, they 177 00:10:23,070 --> 00:10:24,190 don't have the brakes. 178 00:10:24,450 --> 00:10:27,130 They just put their foot on the accelerator 179 00:10:27,130 --> 00:10:30,790 and try and speed as fast as possible. 180 00:10:30,970 --> 00:10:33,290 As we grow older, we tend to hit 181 00:10:33,290 --> 00:10:36,170 the brake more often than the accelerator. 182 00:10:36,890 --> 00:10:38,870 But while we're young, there is no brake. 183 00:10:40,670 --> 00:10:43,390 It's a v8 brother, push it. 184 00:10:46,700 --> 00:10:50,000 So this young man went to this old 185 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,920 man and he said, father, today I will 186 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,640 do something, I'll make sure every person is 187 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,540 happy with me and satisfied. 188 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,500 The old man looked at the young man 189 00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:08,480 with a big smile on his face and 190 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,720 said to him, my son, my hair has 191 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,640 gone white and my beard like Bishop Murray, 192 00:11:14,980 --> 00:11:17,460 the good looking one, and I've never was 193 00:11:17,460 --> 00:11:20,000 able to satisfy people no matter what I 194 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,660 did for them. 195 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,380 He said, listen to what I'm saying, I 196 00:11:24,380 --> 00:11:26,280 am more experienced than you are. 197 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,580 The young man insisted, no, I will prove 198 00:11:30,580 --> 00:11:34,180 to you, my old man, that today I'll 199 00:11:34,180 --> 00:11:36,580 make sure everyone is happy with me. 200 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,700 The old man looked at the young man 201 00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:43,600 and he said, looks like talking with him 202 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,820 is not going to go anywhere. 203

00:14:37,030 --> 00:14:38,210 What makes you happy? 273 00:14:39,610 --> 00:14:44,390 He gave that example of that woman who 274 00:14:44,390 --> 00:14:44,990 was a sinner. 275 00:14:46,250 --> 00:14:51,410 What is the secret of contentment? 276 00:14:53,150 --> 00:14:56,430 What is the secret of saying, I am 277 00:14:56,430 --> 00:15:01,390 happy and satisfied with whatever I have and 278 00:15:01,390 --> 00:15:02,950 whoever I have? 279 00:15:04,370 --> 00:15:08,770 The secret is one thing and one word. 280 00:15:09,630 --> 00:15:12,510 L-O-V-E. 281 00:15:13,010 --> 00:15:13,550 Love. 282 00:15:16,330 --> 00:15:17,590 Love is the secret. 283 00:15:19,090 --> 00:15:21,150 And this is why the Lord turned to 284 00:15:21,150 --> 00:15:23,730 Simon the Pharisee and said, this woman loved 285 00:15:23,730 --> 00:15:24,490 too much. 286 00:15:25,410 --> 00:15:29,110 That's why her great sins were forgiven because 287 00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:31,630 the more she loves, the more she is 288 00:15:31,630 --> 00:15:32,030 forgiven. 289 00:15:35,490 --> 00:15:39,530 All she wanted, all she wanted is to 290 00:15:39,530 --> 00:15:42,730 come back from behind the Lord and wash 291 00:15:42,730 --> 00:15:44,770 his feet with her tears. 292 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,800 She said, if I can do this and 293 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,760 if I can dry them up with my 294 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,580 own hair, I am satisfied. 295 00:15:57,260 --> 00:16:00,360 Did you know my beloveds, did you know 296 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,940 that the honor of the female is her 297 00:16:03,940 --> 00:16:04,320 hair? 298 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,900 The honor of the female is the hair 299 00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:11,040 and the honor of the man is the 300 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:11,400 beard. 301 00:16:13,820 --> 00:16:15,580 I'm talking to you biblically. 302 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,500 The honor of the female is her hair 303 00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:22,720 and the honor of the man is the 304 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:23,080 beard. 305 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,140 And this is one of the reasons why 306 00:16:27,140 --> 00:16:27,740 we grow a beard. 307 00:16:28,340 --> 00:16:29,620 There is other reasons. 308 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,020 You see, as priests, we grow the beard, 309 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:41,920 which is our honor. 310 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,160 And then we come and bow our head 311 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,920 before Jesus Christ to say our honor is 312 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:48,500 at your feet. 313 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,380 And this woman came with her own tears, 314 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,420 washed the feet of the Lord and with 315 00:16:57,420 --> 00:16:59,340 her own hair, dry them up. 316 00:16:59,620 --> 00:17:01,060 She could have used a handkerchief. 317 00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:03,780 She could have used a part of her 318 00:17:03,780 --> 00:17:05,700 of a dress to dry the feet. 319 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,180 No, she said, I'll use my honor, my 320 00:17:09,180 --> 00:17:09,660 honor. 321 00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:12,440 I'll put it under your feet, Jesus Christ 322 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,140 of Nazareth. 323 00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:15,300 Why? 324 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,160 Because I love you. 325 00:17:19,380 --> 00:17:22,839 And since I love you, then all of 326 00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:25,440 me is yours. 327 00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:28,740 I don't want nothing. 328 00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:32,880 I just want you to be honored and 329 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:33,460 glorified. 330 00:17:37,230 --> 00:17:38,710 Love, my beloved. 331 00:17:40,890 --> 00:17:41,710 Love. 332 00:17:43,770 --> 00:17:50,790 You see, when you truly love, you will 333 00:17:50,790 --> 00:17:54,730 do things you could never, ever have done 334 00:17:54,730 --> 00:17:57,810 unless there was that love in you. 335 00:18:01,090 --> 00:18:03,730 See, in the olden days, they used to 336 00:18:03,730 --> 00:18:04,350 sit on the floor. 337 00:18:04,590 --> 00:18:05,410 There was no chairs. 338 00:18:06,530 --> 00:18:08,510 They used to sit on the floor and 339 00:18:08,510 --> 00:18:13,570 they would bend their legs back to the 340 00:18:13,570 --> 00:18:13,910 back. 341 00:18:14,370 --> 00:18:16,210 So the Lord would have sat and his 342 00:18:16,210 --> 00:18:17,290 feet behind him. 343 00:18:18,210 --> 00:18:20,510 That's why this woman came from the back. 344 00:18:20,770 --> 00:18:21,250 Why? 345 00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:23,050 Because she didn't want to be seen. 346 00:18:23,050 --> 00:18:23,510 Why? 347 00:18:23,670 --> 00:18:24,730 Because she's a sinner. 348 00:18:25,090 --> 00:18:27,930 She's embarrassed to be seen in front of 349 00:18:27,930 --> 00:18:30,830 everyone who was in that house, invited along 350 00:18:30,830 --> 00:18:31,390 with the Lord. 351 00:18:32,910 --> 00:18:36,850 So she came from behind, hiding of shame 352 00:18:36,850 --> 00:18:39,870 or hiding from shame. 353 00:18:41,090 --> 00:18:45,130 But she came even though it was a 354 00:18:45,130 --> 00:18:47,830 very difficult thing for her to do, even 355 00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:50,670 though it was a very shameful thing to 356 00:18:50,670 --> 00:18:52,690 do, to be seen by people. 357 00:18:53,010 --> 00:18:55,790 Yet she is a sinner and people knew 358 00:18:55,790 --> 00:18:56,570 she was a sinner. 359 00:18:56,930 --> 00:18:58,510 So if they had seen her, they would 360 00:18:58,510 --> 00:19:01,890 have criticized her like Simon the Pharisee did 361 00:19:01,890 --> 00:19:02,610 in his heart. 362 00:19:02,910 --> 00:19:04,950 He said, if this man was a prophet, 363 00:19:05,150 --> 00:19:08,070 he wouldn't have allowed this sinner to touch 364 00:19:08,070 --> 00:19:08,330 him. 365 00:19:11,590 --> 00:19:13,030 So she was criticized. 366 00:19:13,470 --> 00:19:14,430 She was judged. 367 00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:15,830 She was ridiculed. 368 00:19:16,070 --> 00:19:18,390 She was looked down at. 369 00:19:18,550 --> 00:19:20,070 But she still came. 370 00:19:21,010 --> 00:19:25,750 You see, as a Christian, as a Christian, 371 00:19:26,590 --> 00:19:32,370 when are we going to be seen different 372 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,770 in dark moments and in difficult times? 373 00:19:38,130 --> 00:19:42,990 That's what's gonna differentiate between a Christian by 374 00:19:42,990 --> 00:19:45,670 name and a Christian by deed. 375 00:19:47,450 --> 00:19:50,390 When the time is difficult and tough. 376 00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:57,880 But what makes me continue on going? 377 00:19:58,420 --> 00:20:02,200 What makes me still stand and scream on 378 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,340 top of my voice for the glory and 379 00:20:04,340 --> 00:20:05,700 the honor of Jesus Christ? 380 00:20:06,260 --> 00:20:06,740 Love. 381 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,320 Love, my beloved. 382 00:20:09,460 --> 00:20:09,900 It's love. 383 00:20:11,620 --> 00:20:14,640 It is the love that keeps you going 384 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:15,220 forward. 385 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,980 It is the love that motivates you to 386 00:20:17,980 --> 00:20:22,080 continue even when everything is going against you. 387 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:23,920 It is the love. 388 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,440 It is the love that will make you 389 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,440 do things you don't normally do. 390 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,240 It is the love. 391 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,340 You'll go that extra mile. 392 00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:45,460 You'll do some crazy things. 393 00:20:47,060 --> 00:20:48,620 You will accept humility. 394 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,220 You will accept persecution. 395 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,520 You will accept being ridiculed. 396 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,580 You will accept rejection. 397 00:20:58,540 --> 00:21:00,100 You will accept deposition. 398 00:21:00,580 --> 00:21:02,720 You will accept everything for the sake of 399 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:03,160 that love. 400 00:21:05,260 --> 00:21:08,880 And if it wasn't for that love, why 401 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,320 should I accept all this? 402 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,340 That's why you see some church leaders sitting 403 00:21:15,340 --> 00:21:18,580 in limousines and you see some other church 404 00:21:18,580 --> 00:21:21,280 leaders walking and sitting at the footpath. 405 00:21:26,140 --> 00:21:30,200 Who you love and what you love determines 406 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,360 your place. 407 00:21:35,220 --> 00:21:37,040 You want to sit with high people? 408 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,260 You want to sit with prestigious people? 409 00:21:41,180 --> 00:21:46,880 You want to sit at a very high 410 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,040 platform to be seen globally? 411 00:21:51,980 --> 00:21:53,800 Then Christ is not your potion. 412 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,680 If you're seeking your own glory, Christ cannot 413 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:00,420 be your potion. 414 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,960 But if you are seeking Christ's glory, then 415 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,820 you will accept every humility. 416 00:22:09,660 --> 00:22:10,920 You will accept. 417 00:22:13,970 --> 00:22:20,290 You see, God himself, God himself, when it 418 00:22:20,290 --> 00:22:26,870 came to love, he did something not in 419 00:22:26,870 --> 00:22:27,370 his nature. 420 00:22:29,830 --> 00:22:33,250 When he came to create us, the human 421 00:22:33,250 --> 00:22:35,690 being, what did he say? 422 00:22:35,990 --> 00:22:38,670 He said, let us go down. 423 00:22:40,190 --> 00:22:44,490 Read that in Genesis chapter 1 and verse 424 00:22:44,490 --> 00:22:45,150 26. 425 00:22:45,810 --> 00:22:47,750 Let us go where? 426 00:22:47,930 --> 00:22:48,270 Down. 427 00:22:48,730 --> 00:22:50,310 God cannot go down. 428 00:22:50,550 --> 00:22:53,290 But he said, because I love you, because 429 00:22:53,290 --> 00:22:56,290 I am creating you to be my own 430 00:22:56,290 --> 00:23:01,450 child, I will accept the exalted, elevated, sovereign 431 00:23:01,450 --> 00:23:05,810 authority, the only ruler over everything and everyone. 432 00:23:06,130 --> 00:23:07,710 I accepted humility. 433 00:23:07,990 --> 00:23:10,410 I came down for your sake. 434 00:23:10,490 --> 00:23:10,670 Why? 435 00:23:10,910 --> 00:23:14,110 Because my love for you is genuine. 436 00:23:15,130 --> 00:23:17,550 My love for you is genuine. 437 00:23:17,550 --> 00:23:20,570 And because I love you from the heart, 438 00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:25,290 I did what I don't normally do as 439 00:23:25,290 --> 00:23:25,650 God. 440 00:23:25,910 --> 00:23:26,770 I don't go down. 441 00:23:31,300 --> 00:23:33,080 It is not in my nature to go 442 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:33,320 down. 443 00:23:35,420 --> 00:23:37,540 But you see, when it comes to love, 444 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,140 which is the ultimate miracle, the ultimate miracle, 445 00:23:43,420 --> 00:23:48,120 and the only supreme ethic, and the only 446 00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:52,840 thing that makes life and everything with it 447 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,480 possible, it is that love that made God 448 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,140 do what he normally does not do. 449 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,320 Let us go down and make man in 450 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,000 our image, according to our likeness. 451 00:24:06,420 --> 00:24:09,780 The first thing God did to create this 452 00:24:09,780 --> 00:24:12,620 man, he put his hands in the mud. 453 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,200 Because the word Adam derives from the Hebrew, 454 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,320 Syriac, Aramaic name, Edemtha. 455 00:24:19,620 --> 00:24:21,600 Edemtha means red mud. 456 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,760 So God put his hands in the mud. 457 00:24:25,060 --> 00:24:27,940 My question to all of us, who plays 458 00:24:27,940 --> 00:24:28,520 in the mud? 459 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,600 Little kids. 460 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,080 Little kids. 461 00:24:32,980 --> 00:24:34,100 But why do they play in the mud? 462 00:24:34,340 --> 00:24:35,960 Because this is all they know. 463 00:24:36,220 --> 00:24:37,300 They don't know any better. 464 00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:40,920 Their intellect is not mature enough. 465 00:24:41,180 --> 00:24:41,980 But hang on a second. 466 00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:44,900 God is the source of wisdom. 467 00:24:45,500 --> 00:24:47,220 Does he not know what he's doing? 468 00:24:47,340 --> 00:24:48,060 Of course. 469 00:24:48,540 --> 00:24:50,640 Well God, how come you put your hand 470 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,060 in the mud, playing in the mud like 471 00:24:53,060 --> 00:24:53,860 a little kid? 472 00:24:54,140 --> 00:24:56,660 He said, when you love, you do crazy 473 00:24:56,660 --> 00:24:57,200 stuff. 474 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,880 When you love, you will go out of 475 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:02,800 your comfort zone. 476 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,560 You will do the impossible. 477 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,500 When you love, you will do things others 478 00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:09,700 will see you as crazy. 479 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,580 God put his hand in the mud. 480 00:25:16,220 --> 00:25:21,660 He said, because I love you, I'll do 481 00:25:21,660 --> 00:25:22,340 the impossible. 482 00:25:23,940 --> 00:25:26,720 And I died for you, because I love 483 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,020 you. 484 00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:29,800 To bring you back to me, I died 485 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:30,220 for you. 486 00:25:33,980 --> 00:25:36,920 So we need now to understand this. 487 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,040 And I'll leave you with it. 488 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,580 The Lord Jesus, the Lord Jesus is God, 489 00:25:45,220 --> 00:25:46,360 revealed in the flesh. 490 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,580 God is love. 491 00:25:50,460 --> 00:25:52,880 God is love itself. 492 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,160 So God speaks love. 493 00:25:59,660 --> 00:26:02,380 God lives love. 494 00:26:03,180 --> 00:26:06,860 And God shares this love with whom he 495 00:26:06,860 --> 00:26:07,340 loves. 496 00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:09,040 He loves us all. 497 00:26:09,860 --> 00:26:11,200 And all of his creation. 498 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:18,900 Therefore, my beloveds, God will only look at 499 00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:22,700 love in everything we say, and in everything 500 00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:23,540 we do. 501 00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:28,940 I could stand and pray for hours on 502 00:26:28,940 --> 00:26:31,140 end, with no love in it. 503 00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:35,620 God will say, I have heard you not. 504 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,160 But when you pray, no matter how short 505 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,720 or long it is, God will come and 506 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,340 measure the love you had for him when 507 00:26:46,340 --> 00:26:47,080 you were praying. 508 00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:49,780 And he will pay you according to the 509 00:26:49,780 --> 00:26:51,720 love you had for him, not for the 510 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,380 amount of prayers and the hours you spend 511 00:26:54,380 --> 00:26:55,200 praying. 512 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,940 Because maybe some people pray to be seen. 513 00:27:02,180 --> 00:27:06,880 But some people pray without making nobody realize 514 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:07,580 they are praying. 515 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:15,120 Because love does things in secret, most of 516 00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:15,560 the time. 517 00:27:16,820 --> 00:27:17,820 Most of the time. 518 00:27:20,660 --> 00:27:23,620 Because when you truly love, the last thing 519 00:27:23,620 --> 00:27:24,800 you want to be is a show-off. 520 00:27:27,220 --> 00:27:28,740 Who are you trying to show off to? 521 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,260 My only concern is the one I love. 522 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,380 I don't care about the world. 523 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,540 I care about my love, my sweetheart. 524 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,200 So all I care about is this person. 525 00:27:43,140 --> 00:27:43,920 Not everyone. 526 00:27:44,580 --> 00:27:46,260 It is the one I love. 527 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,220 That's what I care about. 528 00:27:50,740 --> 00:27:54,140 So, when you pray, the Lord will look 529 00:27:54,140 --> 00:27:55,600 at the love in that prayer and he 530 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,560 will pay you accordingly. 531 00:27:57,260 --> 00:28:00,240 When you come to church from home, how 532 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,540 much love did you have for the Lord 533 00:28:02,540 --> 00:28:05,380 Jesus as you were leaving home, sitting in 534 00:28:05,380 --> 00:28:06,980 the car and driving all the way to 535 00:28:06,980 --> 00:28:07,420 the church? 536 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,520 The Lord looks at the love and he 537 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:10,520 will pay you accordingly. 538 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,200 When you're in the church, who were you 539 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:13,740 looking for? 540 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,120 Who are you missing? 541 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,600 Who are you longing for? 542 00:28:16,860 --> 00:28:17,660 Who are you loving? 543 00:28:17,820 --> 00:28:18,580 Why did you come? 544 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,180 What was the reason for your coming? 545 00:28:20,300 --> 00:28:22,220 The Lord will look at that love and 546 00:28:22,220 --> 00:28:23,060 pay you accordingly. 547 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,760 Everything with the Lord has got to do 548 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:26,280 with love. 549 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:27,380 Nothing else. 550 00:28:29,060 --> 00:28:32,660 What makes you different to others is love. 551 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,680 What makes people saints is love. 552 00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:39,240 Not I'm an Orthodox, I'm a Catholic, I'm 553 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:39,720 a Protestant. 554 00:28:40,340 --> 00:28:41,520 Get a life all of you. 555 00:28:41,980 --> 00:28:42,600 Get a life. 556 00:28:43,740 --> 00:28:46,040 It is the love I had for Jesus 557 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,320 Christ that made me a saint. 558 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,240 It is the love. 559 00:28:56,490 --> 00:28:57,830 It is the love. 560 00:29:01,030 --> 00:29:07,550 As we speak, there are monks living in 561 00:29:07,550 --> 00:29:12,350 deserts, in caves where nobody knows they exist. 562 00:29:13,330 --> 00:29:14,550 But the Lord knows. 563 00:29:16,230 --> 00:29:22,410 These monks, we are still living, eating, going 564 00:29:22,410 --> 00:29:25,870 and coming because of their prayers for us. 565 00:29:26,910 --> 00:29:28,330 I can show you. 566 00:29:29,090 --> 00:29:31,130 This I guarantee you. 567 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:42,340 What makes a human being like us to 568 00:29:42,340 --> 00:29:50,160 leave their comfort, their life, their family, their 569 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,240 lifestyle and go in the wilderness, in a 570 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,060 cave and face the dangers of the wilderness 571 00:29:57,060 --> 00:30:02,180 and the enemy Satan attacking them every single 572 00:30:02,180 --> 00:30:02,680 day. 573 00:30:03,580 --> 00:30:06,500 What makes them do this for years on 574 00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:11,820 end, 20, 30, 50, 60, 70 years some 575 00:30:11,820 --> 00:30:12,280 of them. 576 00:30:15,020 --> 00:30:16,400 It is the love. 577 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,220 It is the love for the Lord. 578 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,120 You see some of us will come and 579 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,800 say these people are crazy. 580 00:30:25,980 --> 00:30:26,420 No. 581 00:30:27,380 --> 00:30:29,380 You see your love for the Lord is 582 00:30:29,380 --> 00:30:33,660 minute, tiny compared to their love, their love 583 00:30:33,660 --> 00:30:34,160 for the Lord. 584 00:30:34,380 --> 00:30:38,300 That's why you will never understand their love 585 00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:40,100 until you get to their level. 586 00:30:44,150 --> 00:30:47,030 So they'll come and say there is no 587 00:30:47,030 --> 00:30:49,590 such thing, there is no such way, Jesus 588 00:30:49,590 --> 00:30:50,450 never said that. 589 00:30:50,850 --> 00:30:54,090 No, you're speaking out of ignorance as a 590 00:30:54,090 --> 00:30:55,090 little kid. 591 00:30:56,030 --> 00:31:02,390 You need to grow up because love has 592 00:31:02,390 --> 00:31:03,650 no end to it. 593 00:31:05,350 --> 00:31:09,150 Just because your love is this much, how 594 00:31:09,150 --> 00:31:12,430 dare you judge someone whose love is a 595 00:31:12,430 --> 00:31:14,710 million times greater than yours. 596 00:31:15,970 --> 00:31:17,750 And you're calling them crazy? 597 00:31:18,010 --> 00:31:21,350 They're not crazy, you're just blind, still a 598 00:31:21,350 --> 00:31:21,850 little kid. 599 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,360 How can you forgive someone that has hurt 600 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:37,660 you? 601 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:39,220 Love. 602 00:31:41,580 --> 00:31:42,340 Love. 603 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:51,380 I'm not dumb, I'm not stupid, I'm not 604 00:31:51,380 --> 00:31:51,840 ignorant. 605 00:31:53,220 --> 00:31:55,460 The only issue with me is because I 606 00:31:55,460 --> 00:31:55,940 love them. 607 00:31:58,260 --> 00:32:02,000 But you see when people do not have 608 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,520 the same level of that love as you 609 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,520 do, they will always misunderstand you. 610 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,760 And they will always misjudge you. 611 00:32:12,020 --> 00:32:15,480 If this man was a prophet, he wouldn't 612 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,700 have led this sinner to touch him. 613 00:32:19,060 --> 00:32:20,560 She has defiled him. 614 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,480 Simon, I am NOT a prophet, I am 615 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:27,960 God. 616 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,100 Get it? 617 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,320 If you call me a prophet, I'm not 618 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,460 just a prophet, I am God Himself. 619 00:32:36,340 --> 00:32:38,420 So I know exactly what kind of a 620 00:32:38,420 --> 00:32:41,380 woman that came from behind and touched me. 621 00:32:41,660 --> 00:32:43,840 I know exactly what kind of a man 622 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,520 you are, and I know exactly every single 623 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:47,120 one of you. 624 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:48,040 I know. 625 00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:52,220 But you see, the reason why I allowed 626 00:32:52,220 --> 00:32:54,980 this sinner who is like you Simon, in 627 00:32:54,980 --> 00:32:57,280 fact she is better than you Simon, but 628 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,900 the reason why I allowed this sinner as 629 00:32:59,900 --> 00:33:02,980 you said in your heart is because I 630 00:33:02,980 --> 00:33:04,000 love you all. 631 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:05,720 It is my love. 632 00:33:06,220 --> 00:33:10,980 I'm not ignorant, I know exactly what I 633 00:33:10,980 --> 00:33:11,240 do. 634 00:33:12,060 --> 00:33:15,160 But everything I do and everything I say 635 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,680 is out of love. 636 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:22,120 That's why you do not understand now what 637 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:22,520 I do. 638 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:24,980 One day you will. 639 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:27,600 One day you will. 640 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,680 So my beloveds, next time you want to 641 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,780 stand and pray, ask the Lord before you 642 00:33:34,780 --> 00:33:38,920 pray, say, Lord please let me love you 643 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,420 in this five-minute prayer. 644 00:33:42,620 --> 00:33:46,020 Before you come to church, say, Lord allow 645 00:33:46,020 --> 00:33:48,480 me to be focused on you all the 646 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:49,800 way from home to church. 647 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,960 I'm running to you because I miss you. 648 00:33:54,380 --> 00:33:56,220 You see, because I love you, I miss 649 00:33:56,220 --> 00:33:56,520 you. 650 00:33:56,820 --> 00:33:58,960 As if I haven't seen you a lifetime, 651 00:33:59,580 --> 00:34:01,440 and it's only been a week, maybe a 652 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,440 few days, maybe a day, maybe a few 653 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:03,880 hours. 654 00:34:04,140 --> 00:34:07,699 But when I truly love, even that second 655 00:34:07,699 --> 00:34:11,040 is seen as if it's a lifetime sentence. 656 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,360 When I am away from the love of 657 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:14,920 my life. 658 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:21,820 When I am away, ask the Lord to 659 00:34:21,820 --> 00:34:25,900 fill you with his love, to teach you 660 00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:30,199 how to love, and to help you how 661 00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:33,020 to carry this love, not only to the 662 00:34:33,020 --> 00:34:35,400 people in your circle, but to the people 663 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,960 of the world who are the outer circle. 664 00:34:41,699 --> 00:34:42,800 Love your enemy. 665 00:34:43,659 --> 00:34:46,020 Amazing how the Lord talks. 666 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:47,920 How can I love my enemy? 667 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,139 How can I love the one who has 668 00:34:50,139 --> 00:34:51,060 persecuted me? 669 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,780 How can I love the one who has 670 00:34:53,780 --> 00:34:57,200 attacked me and hurt me so badly? 671 00:34:57,380 --> 00:34:58,400 How can I love them? 672 00:34:58,820 --> 00:35:01,280 It is not me, it is the love 673 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,000 of Christ. 674 00:35:02,180 --> 00:35:04,500 When I allow it to come into my 675 00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:09,340 heart, that love does wonders, my beloved. 676 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:11,320 Does wonders. 677 00:35:19,060 --> 00:35:22,860 Because if Jesus Christ is your love, then 678 00:35:22,860 --> 00:35:25,900 what people do to you, and what people 679 00:35:25,900 --> 00:35:30,320 say about you, is totally and utterly beside 680 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:30,880 the point. 681 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:32,980 Beside the point. 682 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,560 Because the one you love is the one 683 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,120 who takes all your focus. 684 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:44,140 Therefore, what others say, mean nothing. 685 00:35:44,980 --> 00:35:46,200 It's very easy, you see. 686 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,460 But if you don't love the Lord, and 687 00:35:50,460 --> 00:35:52,620 you speak in his name, and somebody attacks 688 00:35:52,620 --> 00:35:55,620 you, no, no, all hell will break loose. 689 00:35:56,140 --> 00:35:56,760 Will break loose. 690 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,280 See, because I was preaching to gain my 691 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,580 glory on the account of Christ. 692 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,280 So when I'm doing it for my own 693 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,000 glory, for my own personal benefits, to gain 694 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,860 wealth and fame, then I will not allow 695 00:36:14,860 --> 00:36:16,680 anybody to touch me or hurt me. 696 00:36:17,260 --> 00:36:20,100 And if anybody does, I will retaliate with 697 00:36:20,100 --> 00:36:20,860 great force. 698 00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:23,040 But when I'm doing it from the heart, 699 00:36:23,180 --> 00:36:25,300 to the heart, to the sacred heart of 700 00:36:25,300 --> 00:36:27,300 Jesus Christ, when I'm doing it for him, 701 00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:30,680 then whatever people do or say about me, 702 00:36:31,220 --> 00:36:36,420 I am absolutely joyous and happy. 703 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,200 Because it matters not how people perceive me. 704 00:36:42,420 --> 00:36:47,500 What matters is that Jesus says, this is 705 00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:51,280 my son, in whom I am pleased. 706 00:36:51,900 --> 00:36:53,040 That's all I want. 707 00:36:54,100 --> 00:36:58,840 And this is the only thing every true 708 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:04,180 Christian needs to reach and receive. 709 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,720 Look for that moment when the Lord Jesus 710 00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:12,120 points that finger at you and says, this 711 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:12,860 is my son. 712 00:37:13,580 --> 00:37:18,420 Angels salute him as he walks through the 713 00:37:18,420 --> 00:37:19,320 gate of heaven. 714 00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:23,720 Welcome him with honor, with glory, for he 715 00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:26,840 is my son, whom I have loved and 716 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:27,460 died for. 717 00:37:29,460 --> 00:37:34,300 This is the ultimate gift, the ultimate reward 718 00:37:34,300 --> 00:37:38,300 every Christian and every faithful needs to look 719 00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:41,620 forward to, when Christ acknowledge you as his 720 00:37:41,620 --> 00:37:41,900 son. 721 00:37:44,900 --> 00:37:48,340 Anything and everything outside of that is absolutely 722 00:37:48,340 --> 00:37:49,520 vanity of all vanities. 723 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,800 It means nothing that I was a Pope. 724 00:37:53,220 --> 00:37:55,260 It means nothing that I was a cardinal. 725 00:37:55,500 --> 00:37:57,160 It means nothing that I was a bishop. 726 00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,180 It means nothing that I was a president. 727 00:37:59,420 --> 00:38:00,200 I was a king. 728 00:38:00,340 --> 00:38:01,300 I was a prime minister. 729 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:02,820 I was a wealthy person. 730 00:38:02,980 --> 00:38:05,120 I was a very influential person. 731 00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:08,880 All of this means nothing until Christ says, 732 00:38:09,540 --> 00:38:10,300 this is my son. 733 00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:18,060 Jesus is love and he wants you to 734 00:38:18,060 --> 00:38:18,740 love him back. 735 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,580 That's all Christianity is. 736 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,300 When you love him back, then he will 737 00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:30,660 teach you how to come to church, how 738 00:38:30,660 --> 00:38:33,200 to pray, how to read the Holy Bible, 739 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,740 how to preach, and how to live for 740 00:38:35,740 --> 00:38:35,920 him. 741 00:38:36,660 --> 00:38:37,920 He is the teacher, not me. 742 00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:41,740 He is the master, not me. 743 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,880 He is the good shepherd who leads me 744 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,460 to green pastures and still waters. 745 00:38:45,780 --> 00:38:46,660 I am the sheep. 746 00:38:46,980 --> 00:38:50,540 I can never be the shepherd, even though 747 00:38:50,540 --> 00:38:52,820 the Lord put me as a shepherd in 748 00:38:52,820 --> 00:38:53,240 the church. 749 00:38:53,340 --> 00:38:55,300 But when I come to him, I am 750 00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:55,960 his sheep. 751 00:38:56,380 --> 00:38:58,560 I'm not the shepherd, for the shepherd is 752 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,620 one, and that is Christ the King, period. 753 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,140 From the Pope to the deacon are all 754 00:39:07,140 --> 00:39:08,640 sheep, followers of Christ. 755 00:39:09,380 --> 00:39:13,320 And if any church leader tries to take 756 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:18,300 the place of Christ, he will ruin himself 757 00:39:18,300 --> 00:39:20,660 and ruin the entire church with him. 758 00:39:21,300 --> 00:39:22,220 The church is destroyed. 759 00:39:22,580 --> 00:39:26,540 The enemy will come and infiltrate and decimate 760 00:39:26,540 --> 00:39:27,380 the whole church. 761 00:39:30,140 --> 00:39:37,640 But you see, Satan cannot withstand love. 762 00:39:38,420 --> 00:39:41,540 He hates a place that has love in 763 00:39:41,540 --> 00:39:41,760 it. 764 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,060 He hates it with a passion. 765 00:39:44,460 --> 00:39:46,480 That's why you see, wherever there is a 766 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,800 family that loves one another, it will come 767 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:50,680 and attack that family. 768 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,980 When he sees a church that loves the 769 00:39:53,980 --> 00:39:55,040 Lord, he will come and attack. 770 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,900 When he sees a person loving the Lord, 771 00:39:58,940 --> 00:39:59,860 he will come and attack. 772 00:40:01,540 --> 00:40:03,680 And he will do it in either of 773 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,600 two ways, or he uses both. 774 00:40:05,900 --> 00:40:08,800 Whichever one comes first and succeeds, he'll go 775 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:09,160 with it. 776 00:40:09,420 --> 00:40:12,840 One, snake, the other, lion. 777 00:40:13,820 --> 00:40:17,000 Snake is a sneaky way, in a very 778 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,520 nice, deceptive way. 779 00:40:19,820 --> 00:40:21,900 You go to church, you want to be 780 00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:23,500 close to the Lord Jesus, and you're doing 781 00:40:23,500 --> 00:40:23,960 fine. 782 00:40:24,180 --> 00:40:28,220 All of a sudden, all these thoughts and 783 00:40:28,220 --> 00:40:30,440 people come up in your life, in your 784 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,900 circle, and say to you, come on, let's 785 00:40:34,900 --> 00:40:35,480 go out. 786 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,220 Would you like to come with us? 787 00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:40,440 Come on, brother. 788 00:40:42,180 --> 00:40:43,480 Just do it, be a man. 789 00:40:45,860 --> 00:40:47,580 Come on, were you not a nun? 790 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:49,600 Come with us. 791 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,360 We're not going to do anything wrong. 792 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:53,300 All we're going to do is just go 793 00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:56,060 downtown, and have some fun. 794 00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,020 We'll eat, we'll drink, and then come back. 795 00:41:03,780 --> 00:41:07,660 If Satan sees with that nice talk, it's 796 00:41:07,660 --> 00:41:10,080 not working with you, he will come with 797 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,240 that nasty talk, as a lion. 798 00:41:13,540 --> 00:41:16,240 Next time, he will make sure people go 799 00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:23,640 against you, and start destroying you with their 800 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,000 nasty, nasty, nasty swords, and nasty arrows. 801 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,040 You'll see people talking against you badly, trying 802 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,900 to, what they call character defamation, destroy you, 803 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,540 destroy your reputation, your image, wipe you out. 804 00:41:40,660 --> 00:41:43,620 They will do anything and everything the nasty 805 00:41:43,620 --> 00:41:43,940 way. 806 00:41:44,380 --> 00:41:46,720 See, because Satan didn't win with the nice 807 00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:48,780 way, he will come with the nasty way. 808 00:41:49,060 --> 00:41:51,520 But if you stand till the end, you 809 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,440 will receive the crown of life from the 810
