<v Speaker 1>glad you're here and wherever you're listening from, we believe

4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>God will transform your life.

5
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Do today's message Today, I want.

6
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:20.320
<v Speaker 3>To speak to you.

7
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 2>I want to preach to help you understand how good

8
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.559
<v Speaker 2>God is. If I never see you again, if this

9
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>is the only time that I get to speak to

10
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Speaker 2>you today, I'm going to try my hardest to convince

11
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>you that there's no better way than Jesus. Like like,

12
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 2>I just want to sell you up front, because a

13
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of people they want to impress you first.

14
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 3>I want to tell you.

15
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.000
<v Speaker 2>My end goal is that you leave here and forget

16
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.560
<v Speaker 2>me and only remember Jesus.

17
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.159
<v Speaker 3>And so today it is my attempt.

18
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>To speak words that make sense enough for somebody to.

19
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 3>Make an eternal decision. Thank you for coming.

20
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 2>But if he didn't come, none of us would be here,

21
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>and today I'm grateful. It's weird because I haven't been

22
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 2>able to preach on a Sunday on Easter for like

23
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 2>eight years, because usually we're doing ransom at this time,

24
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 2>and I have a little sermonette prepared for y'all in

25
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 2>the middle to tell you about the Gospel, but I

26
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 2>don't get to preach a whole message. And today I

27
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>want to let you know Ransom is probably one of

28
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 2>the greatest productions of the story of Jesus Christ that

29
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 2>you could ever see. And we have one more showing

30
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 2>of Ransom tonight at six p m. And I want

31
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.799
<v Speaker 2>you to gather your families. I want you to gather

32
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 2>your people, your folks, people who are lost and found,

33
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>and I want you to watch this tonight on YouTube.

34
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you it will transform their lives. From children

35
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>all the way up. We've already seen hundreds of salvations

36
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 2>through the But I felt that God told me that

37
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 2>I was supposed to speak a word to you in

38
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 2>season today and so the one thing that I'm gonna

39
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 2>do is be obedient to God. And so if you

40
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 2>came for a play, you got played. We tried to

41
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 2>tell everybody, we tried to communicate, but today I have

42
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 2>a word, and a word from God is better than

43
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>anything you could want.

44
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:24.159
<v Speaker 3>It's what He wants you to have.

45
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 2>So today, can we pray together and ask God to

46
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 2>open up our hearts to be ready to receive Father

47
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 2>in the name of Jesus. I thank you that you

48
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.240
<v Speaker 2>would speak in this place today, do what I can't do,

49
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:36.560

<v Speaker 2>Jesus at the end of this service, not just for

58
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>a moment, Father, but their lives will be radically transformed.

00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's get that out the way. My daughter

70
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:36.759
<v Speaker 2>told me I looked like the guy from Curious George today.

00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 3>No, today.

73
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>I want to I want to encourage you. I think

74
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 2>if I could do anything today, I want you to

75
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.479
<v Speaker 2>leave like with a smile on your face saying like,

76
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 2>oh snap.

77
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.680
<v Speaker 3>I actually do have joy.

78
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Like if you're in a dark situation right now, if

79
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>things aren't looking good for you right now, I just

80
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 2>want you to be encouraged that the brighter side.

81
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 3>Is coming to your life. Somebody, just if you want

82
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:11.719
<v Speaker 3>a brighter side.

83
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 2>If you want things to light up, if you want

84
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 2>things to get better, I need you to make some

85
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>noise in the building right now, Okay, just need to

86
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.240
<v Speaker 2>make sure I was talking to the right people in

87
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 2>this place.

88
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:24.120
<v Speaker 3>And so today I believe that the word.

89
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Of God is going to be something that is going

90
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:28.199
<v Speaker 2>to bring joy to your life. I want to look

91
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 2>at the actual story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ

92
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 2>on Easter. We teach so many other things a lot

93
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 2>of times, and you don't look at just actually what happened, Luke,

94
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Chapter twenty four, verse one.

95
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 3>It's us. But very early on.

96
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Sunday morning, there were two women that went to the tomb.

97
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:50.959
<v Speaker 3>They took the.

98
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 2>Spices they had prepared. I didn't know if they had

99
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.439
<v Speaker 2>Lowry's or seasoned inside. I don't know what type of

100
00:04:55.480 --> 00:05:00.120
<v Speaker 2>spice is. But they found that the stone had been raw.

101
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 3>Away from the entrance. So they went in.

102
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.639
<v Speaker 2>That's where it would have stopped for me, if the

103
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 2>stone would have been rolled away. That's white people's stuff.

104
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 3>Y'all want to go.

105
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>In in like Scooby. Dude, Nah, I'm just like like that.

106
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 2>I would have stopped like the sons rolled away. Either

107
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:21.480
<v Speaker 2>he came out, they went in.

108
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.439
<v Speaker 3>I'm out of here. But they went in.

109
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.079
<v Speaker 2>And they didn't find the body of the Lord Jesus.

110
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>As they stood there puzzle, two men suddenly appeared to.

111
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.319
<v Speaker 3>Them, clothed in dazzling rolls.

112
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to

113
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:41.360
<v Speaker 2>the ground.

114
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 3>Then the men asked, watch this.

115
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Why are you looking among the dead for someone who

116
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 2>is alive. He isn't here. He is risen from the dead.

117
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Somebody say, the King is alive. If you're excited that

118
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 2>the King Jesus is a lie, just give him one

119
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:03.839
<v Speaker 2>shout of praise.

120
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.759
<v Speaker 3>The ching is a lie.

121
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Sunday was awesome, y'all. That's why we celebrate. That's why

122
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 2>we put our kids in flowers. That's why we praise God.

123
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Sunday was awesome. But can I tell you something that

124
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:22.759
<v Speaker 2>the resurrection on Sunday doesn't take away the reality of Saturday.

125
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Like everybody's excited about this.

126
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Moment, about the mountaintops in our lives, But there are

127
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 2>so many people that right now, even as you are

128
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 2>sitting here listening to me preach, you feel this emptiness

129
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:42.160
<v Speaker 2>because you're feeling the sorrow of Saturday. Jesus is alive,

130
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 2>but I'm still hurting. Jesus is alive, but I still

131
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>feel lonely. He is risen, but I still feel like

132
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:56.680
<v Speaker 2>giving up. And the truth of the matter is most people,

133
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.079
<v Speaker 2>when they come to the resurrection and the thing that

134
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.720
<v Speaker 2>we're thinking about how God did his thing, it's like,

135
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad.

136
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.519
<v Speaker 3>That happened for you. But when am I gonna see

137
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:05.240
<v Speaker 3>some resurrection?

138
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.800
<v Speaker 2>When am I gonna feel like death ain't all over me?

139
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 2>And for real, some of y'all are dealing with the

140
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.480
<v Speaker 2>reality of your Saturday, the reality of raising kids, the

141
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:22.199
<v Speaker 2>reality of navigating this economy, the reality of wrestling with

142
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 2>your purpose, the reality of a diagnosis that was not favorable.

143
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.160
<v Speaker 2>The real is anybody dealing with reality? It here in

144
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.120
<v Speaker 2>the Okay, I need to find out where the real

145
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.800
<v Speaker 2>church is humble, open and transparent. How many people got

146
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 2>some real stuff going on right now that is really

147
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.959
<v Speaker 2>taking up a lot of your brain space, heart space,

148
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.360
<v Speaker 2>emotional space. You ain't even got time for the people

149
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 2>you love because you're dealing with other stuff. The resurrection,

150
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:57.879
<v Speaker 2>the reality, praise him, problems.

151
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:02.160
<v Speaker 3>He's the healer.

152
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm still hurting, y'all. Don't want to be real this Sunday,

153
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:12.079
<v Speaker 2>because the truth is that this disgruntle, this tension, this

154
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:15.120
<v Speaker 2>frustration is why most people only come once a year.

155
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 2>They only come when.

156
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:21.480
<v Speaker 3>They need it. The reason why.

157
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Is because I cannot reconcile how he's so good but

158
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:25.959
<v Speaker 2>this still feels so bad.

159
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay, but this is the.

160
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.399
<v Speaker 2>Thing you need to know about Jesus that separates him

161
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.120
<v Speaker 2>from every other god or deity or idea of a

162
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.840
<v Speaker 2>higher power that we serve. The only god that the

163
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Bible says.

164
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:40.480
<v Speaker 3>He can relate.

165
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 2>He's the only one that actually came to walk our

166
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:48.840
<v Speaker 2>steps for thirty three years.

167
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 3>And he can relate.

168
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.559
<v Speaker 2>I'll prove it to you in the Bible Hebrews, chapter four,

169
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.480
<v Speaker 2>verse fifteen. For we do not have a high priest

170
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Jesus who is unable to empathize with our weakness.

171
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:01.840
<v Speaker 3>You're not serving a.

172
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.519
<v Speaker 2>God that's like, look at these peasant servant children of mine.

173
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Dealing with all of this stuff that I would never

174
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.679
<v Speaker 2>have to. It says he was tempted at every turn

175
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:16.840
<v Speaker 2>with everything that you were tempted with. But we have one,

176
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.039
<v Speaker 2>a high priest who has been tempted in every way

177
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:25.720
<v Speaker 2>just as we are. Yet he did not sin. Jesus

178
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:30.039
<v Speaker 2>can relate. So maybe you've had a hard week, maybe

179
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:34.360
<v Speaker 2>you've had a hard year, maybe you've had a hard life.

180
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.519
<v Speaker 3>But Jesus can relate. Somebody say that with me. Jesus

181
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:41.240
<v Speaker 3>can relate.

182
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 2>Let's just think about the last seven days of Jesus's life.

183
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>If this is the resurrection, he's coming back, Let's just

184
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.320
<v Speaker 2>think about the last seven days. A week ago, seven

185
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.480
<v Speaker 2>days ago, he came into the city owned a don

186
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:52.360
<v Speaker 2>king and they were.

187
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.799
<v Speaker 3>Streaming Hosannah shouting that's my man, God.

188
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.879
<v Speaker 2>God, go, God, Jesus God. Oh. They was at.

189
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:04.320
<v Speaker 3>Let's go.

190
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.240
<v Speaker 2>And then on Monday there was a shaken because he

191
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:09.879
<v Speaker 2>went to the temple courts.

192
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:13.240
<v Speaker 3>And people was using the place that should be holy

193
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:14.960
<v Speaker 3>to actually make.

194
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.639
<v Speaker 2>Money off of people and trade and he start flipping

195
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.159
<v Speaker 2>tables and he's like, oh, my goodness, I gotta come

196
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 2>in here and set this straight.

197
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:26.559
<v Speaker 3>Knowing that literally on Sunday he would be dead. By Saturday,

198
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.480
<v Speaker 3>he'd be dead and he would have to rise again. Tuesday,

199
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:30.440
<v Speaker 3>he's speaking to.

200
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.000
<v Speaker 2>The government of the time, the religious leaders, and having

201
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:34.840
<v Speaker 2>to tell them, yo, this is not how it's supposed

202
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to be done. On Wednesday, he got ops scheming to

203
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.480
<v Speaker 2>kill him for all my old.

204
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 3>Folks, ops opposition.

205
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, people that don't like him, you with me, okay,

206
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:51.120
<v Speaker 2>all right. On Thursday, it's like, I just need some

207
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:52.000
<v Speaker 2>time with my people.

208
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.039
<v Speaker 3>So it's the Last Supper on Thursday.

209
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.120
<v Speaker 2>But even in the last Supper he has somebody that's

210
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:00.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna betray him sitting at the table. I don't know

211
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:02.240
<v Speaker 2>if you ever know what it's like to have somebody

212
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.480
<v Speaker 2>you wash their feet, but they gonna sell you out. Okay,

213
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.360
<v Speaker 2>let me just stay on them notes. So Thursday he's

214
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 2>washing the feet of somebody that will betray him. Think

215
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.639
<v Speaker 2>about his week, he can relate. On Friday, he's praying

216
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 2>in the garden to where he's dropping blood, and they

217
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.080
<v Speaker 2>come to get him. They whip him, they stone him,

218
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.279
<v Speaker 2>they mock him, they spit on him. They give him

219
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 2>a crown of thorns, and then he goes to the cross.

220
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:42.440
<v Speaker 2>And Saturday it's silent, nothing happens, nobody moving, and.

221
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.399
<v Speaker 3>Then Sunday, Glory to God.

222
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.440
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of times our Sunday experience makes us

223
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 2>forget about all we had to do to get there. Today,

224
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I just came to talk to some people who are

225
00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:00.799
<v Speaker 2>really going through some real stuff and need to understand

226
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:04.039
<v Speaker 2>that God can relate.

227
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Say it with me one more time, Jesus can relate.

228
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:09.960
<v Speaker 3>As I was.

229
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Thinking about this, I read the entire Passion story again.

230
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:14.799
<v Speaker 2>I read what Jesus did through this whole week, and

231
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:19.399
<v Speaker 2>I found a scripture that I'd never seen before, and

232
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:21.320
<v Speaker 2>today I want to take my text from it.

233
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:25.080
<v Speaker 3>It Sluke, Chapter twenty three, verse forty four. This is

234
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:26.919
<v Speaker 3>Jesus on the cross on Friday.

235
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:30.159
<v Speaker 2>It said, by this time it was about noon, and

236
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:34.039
<v Speaker 2>darkness fell across the whole land until three o'clock. I

237
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you know this, but this was when

238
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.360
<v Speaker 2>he was on the cross between two thieves, and he

239
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.480
<v Speaker 2>offered them to be able to come to Heaven with him.

240
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.720
<v Speaker 2>One said yes, one said no. This is where we

241
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:44.440
<v Speaker 2>find ourselves right here. And look at verse forty five.

242
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.519
<v Speaker 2>It said the light from the sun.

243
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:49.639
<v Speaker 3>Was gone.

244
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:53.919
<v Speaker 2>Now there has never been a moment like this in

245
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:57.840
<v Speaker 2>all of history ever before that, the sun that got

246
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 2>put into place on the creation, it literally stopped shining.

247
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.159
<v Speaker 2>It hasn't happened before that, and it hasn't happened since then.

248
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Why did it stop shining? It was at that moment

249
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.720
<v Speaker 2>the light of the sun Son responded to the weight

250
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:20.840
<v Speaker 2>of sin that was on the s n Son. He's

251
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 2>sitting there with all of my pornography addictions, he's sitting

252
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:25.480
<v Speaker 2>there with your lives.

253
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:28.240
<v Speaker 3>He's sitting there with all of our things.

254
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:31.360
<v Speaker 2>And he's in agony because he is being killed for

255
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:37.600
<v Speaker 2>our punishment. Literally, think about it, that every sin that

256
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.960
<v Speaker 2>had been committed, every sin that would be committed, in

257
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:44.720
<v Speaker 2>every sin that anybody ever did, it was on him

258
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:49.679
<v Speaker 2>at that moment, and it was such an agonizing moment

259
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:53.399
<v Speaker 2>that the creation had to respond to the Creator.

260
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:57.480
<v Speaker 3>If you didn't know that he was.

261
00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Jesus, this is another moment where you could understand he

262
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:06.320
<v Speaker 2>still was God, because creation always is supposed to respond

263
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:11.600
<v Speaker 2>to the Creator. And he's sitting there in agony. So

264
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 2>much the pain, the disease, the evil, the missteps, the mistakes,

265
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:20.279
<v Speaker 2>all on him, taking it for the entire world to

266
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.720
<v Speaker 2>the point where Tewod Corinthians five twenty one says, for

267
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.720
<v Speaker 2>our sake, somebody say for my sake, say it like

268
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:27.159
<v Speaker 2>you mean it.

269
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.440
<v Speaker 3>For my sake. God made him.

270
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Who knew no sin, to become sin so that we

271
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 2>might become the righteousness of God. Write this point down.

272
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Creation always responds to the creator. Creation always responds to

273
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:47.919
<v Speaker 2>the Creator.

274
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:54.639
<v Speaker 3>The question is will you? The Sun had to start

275
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.639
<v Speaker 3>praising God at that moment because of the agony that

276
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:00.360
<v Speaker 3>he was under, and says, I got to do. I

277
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:01.600
<v Speaker 3>know I'm always supposed to shine.

278
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.679
<v Speaker 2>I know that's my cosmic calling is to shine.

279
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.879
<v Speaker 3>But my creator is suffering.

280
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.480
<v Speaker 2>I gotta do something to identify that I'm with him.

281
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:15.600
<v Speaker 3>And if the.

282
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Sun only has one switch on, the only thing the

283
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Sun could do to I identify with the Creator is

284
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:25.799
<v Speaker 2>turn off.

285
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:30.759
<v Speaker 3>I need you to understand. This ain't never happened before.

286
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.039
<v Speaker 3>This is not a solar eclipse. This is not the

287
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:34.799
<v Speaker 3>moon in front of the sun. This is the sun

288
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 3>literally saying off because I got to identify with my creator.

289
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:44.200
<v Speaker 3>But will you?

290
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:48.639
<v Speaker 2>And I need to mess with your theology just for

291
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:51.519
<v Speaker 2>a second, because in the beginning, I think everybody knows this.

292
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:55.759
<v Speaker 2>When God created everything, he said, let there be and

293
00:15:55.840 --> 00:16:04.600
<v Speaker 2>there was light. But that light wasn't the sun. Let

294
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:08.600
<v Speaker 2>there be light. Everybody thought the sun came on, but

295
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:11.919
<v Speaker 2>the Bible tells us that it was day four that

296
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:13.960
<v Speaker 2>the sun and the moon were created.

297
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.120
<v Speaker 3>Let me just give you a little tidbit. The source

298
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.480
<v Speaker 3>of light isn't the s u in the source of

299
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.639
<v Speaker 3>light is the s o n in the beginning? Let

300
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:31.960
<v Speaker 3>that be light. That was Jesus. He's the source of life.

301
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:36.519
<v Speaker 2>He's the source of your strength. He's the source of

302
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:37.879
<v Speaker 2>your ability.

303
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.960
<v Speaker 3>He's the source of every The s o N is

304
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:44.639
<v Speaker 3>the source of the s u in.

305
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:51.639
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'll prove it to you John eight twelve.

306
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Jesus he so gangster. He told people himself.

307
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.879
<v Speaker 3>He was the light. He on earth with the disciple

308
00:16:57.960 --> 00:16:58.639
<v Speaker 3>John eight twelve.

309
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Jesus spoke to the people once again and said.

310
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:05.599
<v Speaker 3>I am the light. I'm the light of the world.

311
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:09.599
<v Speaker 2>If you follow me, you won't have to walk in

312
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:13.519
<v Speaker 2>darkness because you will have watched this the light that

313
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:19.039
<v Speaker 2>leads to life, the light that leads to life.

314
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 3>In the beginning, God created light. That was the revelation

315
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:25.200
<v Speaker 3>of Jesus. And if you.

316
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:32.039
<v Speaker 2>Understand that it leads to life, and so now Jesus says,

317
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm the light of the world.

318
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:35.079
<v Speaker 3>I'm going somewhere. Stay with me. This's is about to

319
00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:36.000
<v Speaker 3>bless your heart.

320
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 2>So if the source of light isn't the sun, I

321
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:44.000
<v Speaker 2>started to think about it.

322
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:46.599
<v Speaker 3>The source.

323
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Of the sun actually is used for something very strong.

324
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.279
<v Speaker 3>It's used for time. Stay with me. I know I'm

325
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:58.279
<v Speaker 3>scientific right now, but it's going somewhere.

326
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:04.319
<v Speaker 2>The sun one s in is the source of the sun.

327
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:09.400
<v Speaker 2>But the source of time is the sun. Because before

328
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.960
<v Speaker 2>there were stop watches and clocks and iPhones, the only

329
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>way you knew the time.

330
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Was where the sun. The sun was, y'all staying with me,

331
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.920
<v Speaker 3>y'all remember sun dials, and well you know, y'all don't.

332
00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:28.400
<v Speaker 3>But the only way that you knew.

333
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:31.440
<v Speaker 2>It was morning is that the sun came up.

334
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.440
<v Speaker 3>And the only way that you knew it was evening

335
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:40.960
<v Speaker 3>is that the sun went. So the sun is the

336
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 3>source for time. How someboke, why did you say all that?

337
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.799
<v Speaker 3>Because I have four kids and I'm trying to teach.

338
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Them how to tell time right now, and Gia is

339
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.160
<v Speaker 2>about to be five years old and she has no

340
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:57.640
<v Speaker 2>concept of time. So I can say five hours and

341
00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:59.039
<v Speaker 2>it's the same thing as five.

342
00:18:58.880 --> 00:18:59.559
<v Speaker 3>Minutes to her.

343
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:01.839
<v Speaker 2>So the other day I told her, I said, yeah,

344
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:03.920
<v Speaker 2>just wait for me. It's only gonna take five minutes.

345
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:09.119
<v Speaker 2>She said, oh, I'm like, oh, Dad.

346
00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:14.319
<v Speaker 3>That's gonna take forever. And because she doesn't have a concept.

347
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:18.319
<v Speaker 2>Of time for real, she thought, five minutes, what's gonna

348
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:18.880
<v Speaker 2>take forever?

349
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:21.799
<v Speaker 3>Now? Me, I can't get five minutes in a day

350
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.559
<v Speaker 3>of quiet, peace, tranquility. All the parents should say amen.

351
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.960
<v Speaker 2>But five minutes wouldn't even be no time. But for her,

352
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:34.839
<v Speaker 2>because she had no concept of time, five minutes felt

353
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:38.519
<v Speaker 2>like forever. Well, I started to think about this. If

354
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:42.480
<v Speaker 2>you don't have a concept of time, seconds feel like centuries,

355
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:46.519
<v Speaker 2>minutes feel like millenniums. And have you ever felt like

356
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:47.960
<v Speaker 2>time was taking its time?

357
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:52.240
<v Speaker 3>It said, like this is taking too long?

358
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:52.920
<v Speaker 5>God?

359
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:55.359
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I know you almighty and you saw right

360
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:58.599
<v Speaker 3>on time? But uh, where are you at though?

361
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

362
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:02.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay? Where how many people's like?

363
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:03.400
<v Speaker 2>God, if you're gonna do it, could you.

364
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:08.839
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead right now? Feel like a good time with

365
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:12.039
<v Speaker 3>my husband, Lord, It feel like a good time for

366
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:18.799
<v Speaker 3>him to be here on Easter. Somebody stood up in

367
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:25.839
<v Speaker 3>the back, sit down. Do you know what makes time

368
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:34.759
<v Speaker 3>even harder is if it's time under tension. Time under

369
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:36.480
<v Speaker 3>tension is a rough thing.

370
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:38.079
<v Speaker 1>You know what.

371
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:39.400

<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

396
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:14.039
<v Speaker 2>Now, the crazy thing about this is they have no

397
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:15.480
<v Speaker 2>idea how long they've been here.

398
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:28.279
<v Speaker 3>I do, I'm clocking it, but they are just waiting.

399
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:49.279
<v Speaker 3>What's the last good movie you've seen, Bud? I'm good?

00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Ain't go let you down a prose, I gonna let

405
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:38.640
<v Speaker 3>you down a province. People screaming, hold it you you ain't.

406
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:43.119
<v Speaker 3>You didn't come, you didn't come up here time. It's

407
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:48.599
<v Speaker 3>been two minutes. Yeah, give it.

408
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:50.279
<v Speaker 2>Give him some dapt, give him some dap. Y'all made

409
00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:55.440
<v Speaker 2>it there, you go. Two hundred for you, two hundred

410
00:23:55.440 --> 00:24:14.920
<v Speaker 2>for you. I now now watch the after y'all saw

411
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:16.279
<v Speaker 2>them do that. Now, people are like, and.

412
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:16.920
<v Speaker 3>I could do that.

413
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:20.200
<v Speaker 2>I should have gone over to he didn't see if

414
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:21.599
<v Speaker 2>he my hand was up stop.

415
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:27.039
<v Speaker 3>Ifausd Mike, why did you do that?

416
00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Because the thing that made that very difficult is that

417
00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:35.599
<v Speaker 2>I never gave them the time. If I would have

418
00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:39.960
<v Speaker 2>said every ten seconds or thirty seconds or every minute,

419
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:41.000
<v Speaker 2>or I said, oh, you only.

420
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:41.880
<v Speaker 3>Got thirty seconds left.

421
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:49.920
<v Speaker 2>It would have given them, watch this, the ability to endure. Okay,

422
00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:52.720
<v Speaker 2>because knowing the end helps you endure.

423
00:24:58.160 --> 00:24:59.720
<v Speaker 3>But there's so many of.

424
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Us that don't know what the end of the situation

425
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:06.680
<v Speaker 2>we're in it looks like, and so it's very easy

426
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:07.640
<v Speaker 2>to give up.

427
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:12.440
<v Speaker 3>Today. I want to tell you just a few things

428
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:14.440
<v Speaker 3>about time that I think that's going to help you

429
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.359
<v Speaker 3>write this down. Time proves that God is kind.

430
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:23.119
<v Speaker 2>If I was trying to be kind to them, I

431
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:27.200
<v Speaker 2>would have told them thirty seconds gone, hip, you only

432
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:31.559
<v Speaker 2>got a minute left. I would have made them aware

433
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:36.559
<v Speaker 2>of the time that they had. And what ends up

434
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:41.640
<v Speaker 2>happening is time is a parameter, no matter what. Everybody

435
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.200
<v Speaker 2>in this room has twenty four hours in a day.

436
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.400
<v Speaker 2>You have the same twenty four hours as Beyonce, Jeff Bisos,

437
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.079
<v Speaker 2>you have the same twenty four hours as Lebron Justin Bieber,

438
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:53.480
<v Speaker 2>the same twenty four hours as carry Under with they

439
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:54.440
<v Speaker 2>make a little more money.

440
00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:56.480
<v Speaker 3>With they twenty four hours than most of us.

441
00:25:57.480 --> 00:26:00.799
<v Speaker 2>But somebody say the same day you have the same.

442
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:01.440
<v Speaker 3>Twenty four hours.

443
00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:06.440
<v Speaker 2>That means that you have fourteen hundred and forty minutes

444
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:09.640
<v Speaker 2>eighty six thousand, four hundred seconds in every day. And

445
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:11.640
<v Speaker 2>for some of you that may be powerful, or for

446
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:14.640
<v Speaker 2>some of you that may be a problem, because depending

447
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:18.599
<v Speaker 2>on how you use that. Everybody say time, it depends

448
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:21.559
<v Speaker 2>on what is going to happen in your life.

449
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:22.200
<v Speaker 3>Watch this.

450
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:25.799
<v Speaker 2>But more than it being a problem, or more than

451
00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:28.720
<v Speaker 2>it being powerful, or more than it being a parameter,

452
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:32.160
<v Speaker 2>God is so kind, watch this because time is a promise.

453
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I set up everything I said to get you to

454
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.440
<v Speaker 2>this point. That the fact that a God that stands

455
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:46.480
<v Speaker 2>outside of time puts all of us in time and gives.

456
00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:49.319
<v Speaker 3>Us only twenty four hours in every day, it is

457
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:51.640
<v Speaker 3>a promise. Pastor Mike, how is it a promise?

458
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:54.799
<v Speaker 2>No matter how long your day is, it can never

459
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:59.440
<v Speaker 2>be longer than twenty four hours. Some of you should

460
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:01.680
<v Speaker 2>get excited right there, because the thing that you got

461
00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:04.960
<v Speaker 2>to understand is that the Bible tells us that every

462
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:07.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hours there is something brand new that is

463
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:08.160
<v Speaker 2>given to you.

464
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:10.119
<v Speaker 3>Lamentations three twenty.

465
00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Two says, the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.

466
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:22.079
<v Speaker 2>His mercies never come to aentyny. They are new every morning.

467
00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Greatest thy faithfulness. This is why the old folks.

468
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Sing that song, greatest our Faithfulness is because.

469
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:36.680
<v Speaker 3>How do you know it's morning? How do you know

470
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:43.079
<v Speaker 3>it's morning? The sun comes up? Hmm.

471
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:47.359
<v Speaker 2>The reason I know it's morning is because every morning

472
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:50.400
<v Speaker 2>God has given us a picture that that day has

473
00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:50.799
<v Speaker 2>to end.

474
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.240
<v Speaker 3>And now the sun has coming, has come up.

475
00:27:58.160 --> 00:27:59.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna ask you more to tell me how do

476
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:03.200
<v Speaker 2>you know it's morning? What if I told you that

477
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:06.119
<v Speaker 2>God gave us a picture in the sky of the

478
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:07.359
<v Speaker 2>cosmic sun to.

479
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Point you back to remember the Sun, his only.

480
00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Son, that no matter how dark your day or night is,

481
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:22.880
<v Speaker 2>the fact that the sun comes is proof that you

482
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:29.200
<v Speaker 2>have a brand new day. This is what God declares

483
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:32.000
<v Speaker 2>to all of humanity, is a new day the sun

484
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:34.880
<v Speaker 2>that He gave over two thousand years ago. When you

485
00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:39.359
<v Speaker 2>receive the sun, it's a brand new day.

486
00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:43.200
<v Speaker 3>Say it with me, A brand new day.

487
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:48.039
<v Speaker 2>The sun means a brand new day. So when I

488
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:51.200
<v Speaker 2>got this revelation, I begin to think about it, and

489
00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:55.920
<v Speaker 2>this got me excited on the inside because I know

490
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:58.559
<v Speaker 2>there's some people that are going through dark situations right now,

491
00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:03.400
<v Speaker 2>and I need you to know this darkness has a deadline.

492
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:04.519
<v Speaker 3>This Easter.

493
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:07.559
<v Speaker 2>I want to let you know that, because there's a

494
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:12.319
<v Speaker 2>brand new day every twenty four hours. Darkness has a deadline.

495
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:14.240
<v Speaker 3>How long you've been in depression.

496
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:17.759
<v Speaker 2>It has a deadline, how long you've been dealing with anxiety.

497
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm about to preach this thing.

498
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:20.319
<v Speaker 3>It has a deadline.

499
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:23.839
<v Speaker 2>How long you've been confused and walking around in circles.

500
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:26.200
<v Speaker 3>Darkness has.

501
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:34.599
<v Speaker 2>If God did not give us the sun, we would

502
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:37.960
<v Speaker 2>just be in darkness.

503
00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:43.960
<v Speaker 3>We would have no way to recalibrate. Oh, it's a

504
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:46.559
<v Speaker 3>new start right now.

505
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Even your body, the circadian rhythms that are with your body.

506
00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:53.400
<v Speaker 2>If you just your body, if you expose it to sunlight,

507
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:54.880
<v Speaker 2>it'll start waking up with the sun.

508
00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:00.680
<v Speaker 3>This is why the invention of dark out curtains.

509
00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Is a billion dollar industry, because you are trying to

510
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:12.039
<v Speaker 2>control when your body interacts with the Because if your

511
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:13.559
<v Speaker 2>body does interact.

512
00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:16.680
<v Speaker 3>With the sun, it has no other choice but to respond.

513
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh God, remember what I said that creation has to

514
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:24.559
<v Speaker 2>respond to there.

515
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:28.039
<v Speaker 3>So if you get close enough to it, if you

516
00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:28.559
<v Speaker 3>just here.

517
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:31.279
<v Speaker 2>That's why it's dangerous to come to this search because

518
00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:35.599
<v Speaker 2>if you keep coming, you will have no other option.

519
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:41.200
<v Speaker 2>And that's why some of y'all putting dark out curtains

520
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:42.119
<v Speaker 2>on your emotions.

521
00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:47.240
<v Speaker 3>You're putting dark out curtains on your on your love life,

522
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:49.200
<v Speaker 3>and dark out curtains on your.

523
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Your your addictions, dark out curtains on your sexual orientation.

524
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Dark out curtains.

525
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:00.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't want the sun so in to shine his

526
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.160
<v Speaker 2>light in here, because if he shined his light on

527
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:05.720
<v Speaker 2>your situation, he ain't scared of the darkness.

528
00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:08.920
<v Speaker 3>The darkness is never scared. This light is never scared

529
00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:13.400
<v Speaker 3>of darkness. The light shows up and darkness has to leave.

530
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:20.079
<v Speaker 2>So the only thing you can do with darkness is

531
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:21.880
<v Speaker 2>try to keep it out. I mean, the only thing

532
00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:23.319
<v Speaker 2>that you can do with light is try to keep

533
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:29.960
<v Speaker 2>it out, because if light connects with your darkness, your

534
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.680
<v Speaker 2>body has nothing else to do, your mind has nothing

535
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:37.079
<v Speaker 2>else to do. Somebody shot at me and say, the

536
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:40.839
<v Speaker 2>sun is coming. I believe that for your life. I

537
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:43.359
<v Speaker 2>believe that for your marriage. I believe that for your faith.

538
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I believe that for everything. And I know it's uncomfortable,

539
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:48.400
<v Speaker 2>and that's why you're trying to stay wrapped up. That's

540
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:49.960
<v Speaker 2>why you're trying to Like Noah, I don't want to

541
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:52.440
<v Speaker 2>tell nobody about what I've been through. That's why you're saying,

542
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:54.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get close to nobody because if

543
00:31:54.440 --> 00:32:04.319
<v Speaker 2>the sun ever gets in contact with creation. And so

544
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.839
<v Speaker 2>when I begin to look at this, write the point down.

545
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:11.960
<v Speaker 2>The resurrection is the eternal example that darkness has a deadline.

546
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:16.000
<v Speaker 2>And if I was talking to my daughter and some

547
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:18.039
<v Speaker 2>of her friends, I would say, clockett.

548
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:22.960
<v Speaker 3>I know everybody don't understand that, but just everybody say

549
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:23.680
<v Speaker 3>clock it for me.

550
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Huh, let me give everybody a definition. Since we're talking

551
00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:32.279
<v Speaker 2>about time, clockett means calling out a truth, noticing, or recognizing.

552
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:35.000
<v Speaker 3>This is from the Urban Dictionary, calling.

553
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Out a truth, noticing, or recognizing being in agreement with

554
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:45.480
<v Speaker 2>an accurate observation. So when it's darkness and the sun comes,

555
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:47.400
<v Speaker 2>you can start clocking it.

556
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:51.319
<v Speaker 3>That is just a matter of time.

557
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:57.200
<v Speaker 2>If the sun hits your situation, clocket, it's just a

558
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:00.279
<v Speaker 2>matter of time for that addiction turns around. Oh, if

559
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:02.680
<v Speaker 2>you let the sun in, you can cut.

560
00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:06.759
<v Speaker 3>If you are in a situation.

561
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:08.839
<v Speaker 2>Right now that it feels like you can't get out

562
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:11.880
<v Speaker 2>of it has been a situation that has literally kept

563
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:14.400
<v Speaker 2>you in a cycle for decades. Today I'm telling you

564
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:20.880
<v Speaker 2>let the sun in, and then because it's just a

565
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:23.200
<v Speaker 2>matter of time. Let me prove it to you throughout history,

566
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:24.799
<v Speaker 2>because it doesn't.

567
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:27.119
<v Speaker 3>Matter how long it's been. It doesn't matter how dark

568
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:27.519
<v Speaker 3>it's been.

569
00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:30.640
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't matter how frustrated you've been, it doesn't matter

570
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:33.519
<v Speaker 2>how drive the season has been. It doesn't matter when

571
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:40.039
<v Speaker 2>the sun shows up. Darkness has a deadline. I'm trying

572
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:43.160
<v Speaker 2>to contain myself. Castor Charles would say it like this.

573
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:46.200
<v Speaker 2>God was standing outside of time, and then he created

574
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:49.240
<v Speaker 2>time and placed you in time so that at the

575
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:53.640
<v Speaker 2>right time you would be on time for an appointed time.

576
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:59.359
<v Speaker 3>Somebody shot of me, clocket. Somebody needs to know that God.

577
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:03.799
<v Speaker 2>Is consistent, just as consistent as the sun shows up.

578
00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Darkness has a deadline.

579
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:07.559
<v Speaker 3>I feel this. I don't got no more points.

580
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:10.719
<v Speaker 2>I came to tell you that darkness has a deadline

581
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:11.400
<v Speaker 2>in your life.

582
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:13.400
<v Speaker 3>You've been sitting around waiting.

583
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:16.000
<v Speaker 2>For something else to happen, and God told you this Easter.

584
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Let the sun in, Let Jesus christ him, Let him

585
00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:21.719
<v Speaker 2>into your heart, Let him into your situation, let him

586
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:27.679
<v Speaker 2>into your frustration, let him into your pain, and then

587
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:29.719
<v Speaker 2>clock it.

588
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:31.559
<v Speaker 3>It's his nature to transform things.

589
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:36.719
<v Speaker 2>It's his nature to speak to things that aren't moving,

590
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:39.360
<v Speaker 2>and they start moving. Let me prove it to you.

591
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:41.880
<v Speaker 2>If I was talking to Daniel and the lions, them

592
00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:44.679
<v Speaker 2>surrounded by what should have taken them out, but God

593
00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:46.639
<v Speaker 2>shut the mouth of the lions, I would have told

594
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Daniel clock it. The three Hebrew boys that were thrown

595
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:53.639
<v Speaker 2>into the fiery furnace, he turned the heat way up.

596
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:56.159
<v Speaker 3>But when they looked again, they said, there's a fourth

597
00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:59.159
<v Speaker 3>man in the fire.

598
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Somebody say, locket, David standing in front of her.

599
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:06.239
<v Speaker 3>Life, no armor on, no experience, just crazy faith. What

600
00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:07.000
<v Speaker 3>looked like.

601
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:10.960
<v Speaker 2>A mismatch turned into a miracle. Somebody shot at me, clockt.

602
00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:14.159
<v Speaker 2>It's God's design.

603
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:20.920
<v Speaker 3>To step into dark situations and let the sun in.

604
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Moses standing at the red sea, water in front of him,

605
00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:30.119
<v Speaker 2>the enemy behind him, nowhere to go, and God made

606
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:31.440
<v Speaker 2>a way where there was no way.

607
00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:39.840
<v Speaker 3>Clocket, some of y'all need to set your timers. The

608
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:42.800
<v Speaker 3>fact that you showed up on Easter Sunday, the fact

609
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:44.960
<v Speaker 3>that God's speaking to you through this message, the fact

610
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:46.880
<v Speaker 3>that you got over your fear and your frustration and

611
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:50.320
<v Speaker 3>you're here today. God is saying, Clocket, you let me in.

612
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:52.880
<v Speaker 2>You done messed up, and let me in Your heart,

613
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:55.480
<v Speaker 2>you done messed up, and God in the atmosphere worship

614
00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:58.159
<v Speaker 2>you were watching online and you've been talking about weed

615
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:00.679
<v Speaker 2>being the thing to give you peace. You just messed

616
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:03.559
<v Speaker 2>around and rolled up on the principiece and you've about

617
00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:06.199
<v Speaker 2>to let the sun in. And I'm telling you something

618
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:10.159
<v Speaker 2>in your life is about to change because darkness has

619
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:13.559
<v Speaker 2>a dead one.

620
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:18.519
<v Speaker 3>Shut at me, clocking that's the mike. Why are you

621
00:36:18.599 --> 00:36:19.000
<v Speaker 3>saying that?

622
00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:24.840
<v Speaker 2>It's because if you let the sun in, it's just

623
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:31.639
<v Speaker 2>a matter of time until transformation comes. There's only so

624
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:33.840
<v Speaker 2>much you can play with fire till you get burned.

625
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:38.280
<v Speaker 2>And I'm talking about the Holy ghost. There's only so

626
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:41.320
<v Speaker 2>much time you can be around people that have good character,

627
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and be around people that want the best for you,

628
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:47.039
<v Speaker 2>and be around people who are gonna speak life into

629
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:49.400
<v Speaker 2>you and call you high. There's only so many times

630
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:51.840
<v Speaker 2>you can be around people that'll pray for you, and

631
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:53.840
<v Speaker 2>those prayers don't start getting up on you. Some of

632
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:56.360
<v Speaker 2>y'all are here because you're your Grandmama's prayers right now,

633
00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:59.000
<v Speaker 2>and some of your here because of an auntie's prayer.

634
00:36:59.119 --> 00:36:59.960
<v Speaker 3>You didn't even know there are.

635
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:02.239
<v Speaker 2>That's why the old folks would have said He may

636
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:02.880
<v Speaker 2>not come with.

637
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:08.960
<v Speaker 3>You when you want him, but he'll be there right

638
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:09.480
<v Speaker 3>on time.

639
00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Clock Yet, y'all gotta add the finger with it when

640
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:16.719
<v Speaker 2>you do it. My daughter told me I was doing

641
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:18.960
<v Speaker 2>it wrong. I was using the other finger. It's the

642
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.800
<v Speaker 2>point of finger. You gotta clock here. Agree with God.

643
00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Joseph stone into a pit, portrayed by his own family,

644
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:31.800
<v Speaker 2>sitting in prison for something he didn't do.

645
00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:36.480
<v Speaker 3>But what looked like a set back was a set up.

646
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:37.760
<v Speaker 3>Clock here.

647
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Some of y'all gonna be walking around and you're gonna

648
00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:43.880
<v Speaker 2>see God start to move in your situation of transformation.

649
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:46.440
<v Speaker 3>And I need you to know, no matter.

650
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:48.760
<v Speaker 2>What's going on, no matter if it's a physical issue,

651
00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:51.880
<v Speaker 2>an emotional issue, whether it's an issue in your.

652
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:53.840
<v Speaker 3>Family, it's just a matter of time.

653
00:37:56.639 --> 00:38:00.000
<v Speaker 2>The sun is coming. I think about the woman with

654
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:04.079
<v Speaker 2>the issue of blood. She had been to every doctor

655
00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:07.760
<v Speaker 2>she could find for twelve years, used her entire fortune

656
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:10.000
<v Speaker 2>to try to get healed, but she could not stop

657
00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:17.519
<v Speaker 2>profusely bleeding until she met Jesus and had one moment

658
00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:25.159
<v Speaker 2>with the sun, and it healed her forever. Clocket, this

659
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:28.159
<v Speaker 2>is the God we serve, and some of you have

660
00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:34.800
<v Speaker 2>had time under tension. Let the sun in. Let the

661
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:38.599
<v Speaker 2>sun in. Let him into that place where you're still

662
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:40.840
<v Speaker 2>hurting from that baby daddy, who did you wrong, and

663
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:45.599
<v Speaker 2>now you hate all men. Let the sun in from

664
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:48.960
<v Speaker 2>that abuse you experience. Let the sun in for the

665
00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:54.480
<v Speaker 2>failure of that business. Let the sun in. Two thousand

666
00:38:54.559 --> 00:39:00.360
<v Speaker 2>years ago, on a Friday, it got real dark because

667
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:08.239
<v Speaker 2>our Savior was beaten, scourged, spit on, ripped limb from limb. Literally,

668
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:12.880
<v Speaker 2>they broke his limbs to fit him on the Roman Cross.

669
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:16.159
<v Speaker 2>They crucified him, publicly mocked him, put a crown of

670
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:21.400
<v Speaker 2>thorns on his head, and the entire world had to

671
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:24.639
<v Speaker 2>respond to our creator being crucified.

672
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:26.360
<v Speaker 3>It got dark.

673
00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:29.440
<v Speaker 2>But if I was with the Disciples, I would have

674
00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:33.880
<v Speaker 2>just looked at him and said, clock here, because it

675
00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:34.880
<v Speaker 2>was only.

676
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:37.679
<v Speaker 3>Three days.

677
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:44.000
<v Speaker 2>That it took him to defeat death, Hell and the grave. See,

678
00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:46.559
<v Speaker 2>just because you don't see the sun shining doesn't mean

679
00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:50.880
<v Speaker 2>the sun isn't working. Some of y'all don't get it.

680
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Just because you don't see the sun shining doesn't mean

681
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:58.039
<v Speaker 2>the sun isn't working. When the Sun was crucified here

682
00:39:58.119 --> 00:40:00.599
<v Speaker 2>on Earth, he was down in the depth of hell,

683
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:04.159
<v Speaker 2>rescuing you and me from every lie that the enemy

684
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:05.400
<v Speaker 2>would have told us.

685
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:07.599
<v Speaker 3>And generational thing, and the.

686
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Sun was doing work in darkness so that we could

687
00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:19.079
<v Speaker 2>live in the light today. I want you to believe

688
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:27.039
<v Speaker 2>that the sun is a sign that the sin is

689
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:31.719
<v Speaker 2>bringing new life to you. And every morning that you

690
00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:38.440
<v Speaker 2>see great is thy faith for me mourning by morning

691
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:40.719
<v Speaker 2>new mercies.

692
00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:43.039
<v Speaker 5>I see.

693
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:45.159
<v Speaker 3>If you feel like you've been in a dark place,

694
00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:50.880
<v Speaker 3>just came to tell you today, here comes the Sun.

695
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:56.159
<v Speaker 3>He's here and available for you right now.

696
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I could tell you and go through so many stories

697
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:02.800
<v Speaker 2>is in my life that I would not be here today.

698
00:41:04.159 --> 00:41:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Unless the sun showed up.

699
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:09.519
<v Speaker 2>I could be faking it, I could be playing. I

700
00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:12.079
<v Speaker 2>could be acting like everything was okay. I could post

701
00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:14.280
<v Speaker 2>that everything was okay, but it was dark in my

702
00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:17.960
<v Speaker 2>heart jealousy and comparison.

703
00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Images, hurts and pains.

704
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:26.519
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know what your issue is right now,

705
00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:30.679
<v Speaker 2>But what I'm saying is, wherever it's darkest, here comes

706
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:31.119
<v Speaker 2>the Sun.

707
00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:33.480
<v Speaker 5>Let him in.

708
00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Those three days changed humanity. The gift was given. The

709
00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:42.679
<v Speaker 3>question is will you receive it.

710
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:49.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna read one more scripture to you, and then

711
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:50.920
<v Speaker 2>there's a song that I want you to listen to

712
00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:53.679
<v Speaker 2>and then I'm gonna ask you to receive Jesus.

713
00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:57.360
<v Speaker 3>No pumping, no priming.

714
00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I want you to know that the darkest areas of

715
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:06.360
<v Speaker 2>your life can be transformed right now if you just

716
00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:09.880
<v Speaker 2>let the sun in. Somebody say the sun is coming.

717
00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Proverbs thirty verse five. Weeping may endure for a night,

718
00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:27.840
<v Speaker 2>but joy comes in the morning. Anxiety may endure for

719
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:32.440
<v Speaker 2>a night, Depression may endure for a night. Worry may

720
00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:35.199
<v Speaker 2>endure for a night. Fear may endure for a night.

721
00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Failure may endure for a night. But here comes the sun.

722
00:42:46.039 --> 00:42:48.239
<v Speaker 2>This is what Christ did on cavalry for us.

723
00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:58.519
<v Speaker 7>It's been a longcal loity days. It feels like you

<v Speaker 5>You eescut me.

754
00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Now, this is the moment of the service where somebody's

755
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:22.639
<v Speaker 2>life is gonna transform because they let the sun in.

756
00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I need everybody who's already made this decision. I need

757
00:46:26.519 --> 00:46:30.119
<v Speaker 2>you to begin to pray, because what I realized is

758
00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:33.239
<v Speaker 2>that in darkness, the sun is not the only light

759
00:46:34.679 --> 00:46:38.119
<v Speaker 2>that comes to dispel darkness. God even leaves his grace

760
00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:43.960
<v Speaker 2>in another light. It's called the moon. And what most

761
00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:47.159
<v Speaker 2>people don't understand about the moon. I didn't even understand

762
00:46:47.199 --> 00:46:50.880
<v Speaker 2>it for a long time, is that the moon is

763
00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:55.159
<v Speaker 2>not a light in itself. The only reason that we

764
00:46:55.280 --> 00:47:02.840
<v Speaker 2>see the moon is because it reflects the Sun. And

765
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:05.039
<v Speaker 2>right now, some of you have been in a place

766
00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:10.280
<v Speaker 2>where God is saying, I know you've received my Sun,

767
00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:15.159
<v Speaker 2>but you're not reflecting me. Well, I know you know

768
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:19.159
<v Speaker 2>that you in is is the thing that the power

769
00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:21.239
<v Speaker 2>comes from, or the s o n is the thing

770
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:22.199
<v Speaker 2>the power comes from.

771
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:23.119
<v Speaker 3>But you have not.

772
00:47:23.159 --> 00:47:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Been my reflection in the earth, or at your job

773
00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:32.559
<v Speaker 2>or on social media. They should look at you and

774
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:36.239
<v Speaker 2>see the reflection of my light.

775
00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:39.599
<v Speaker 3>And today I have two altered calls. If you know

776
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:42.880
<v Speaker 3>you have not been a proper reflection of the sun.

777
00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:48.719
<v Speaker 2>Today's the day where you're getting a new chance to

778
00:47:48.840 --> 00:47:52.519
<v Speaker 2>be able to shine. And then there's other people who

779
00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:58.840
<v Speaker 2>have never received the sun at all. So today two calls.

780
00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Either ref or receive reflect the sun in a way

781
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:07.880
<v Speaker 2>that people can see him, or receive the sun and

782
00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:11.800
<v Speaker 2>allow your life to be transformed forever. If you're in

783
00:48:11.840 --> 00:48:14.320
<v Speaker 2>this room, or watching online, or watching in prison, or

784
00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:17.920
<v Speaker 2>watching on rebroadcast, this is what Easter is about.

785
00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:23.239
<v Speaker 3>Letting the sun come in. It took me from being.

786
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:26.599
<v Speaker 2>A liar, a manipulator, addicted to pornography, somebody who had

787
00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:28.039
<v Speaker 2>very evil things.

788
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:29.400
<v Speaker 3>In my heart because of Mike. Why do you keep

789
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:30.480
<v Speaker 3>sharing your testimony?

790
00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:34.360
<v Speaker 2>The Bible tells us in Revelation we overcome by the

791
00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:35.239
<v Speaker 2>blood of the Lamb.

792
00:48:35.239 --> 00:48:37.239
<v Speaker 3>That was what was shed on cavalry.

793
00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:42.559
<v Speaker 2>But the words of my this is how to stay free.

794
00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:45.800
<v Speaker 3>I gotta tell you where I was. I don't forget.

795
00:48:48.199 --> 00:48:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Because it was his blood and this testimony that interrupts

796
00:48:54.039 --> 00:49:00.159
<v Speaker 2>the cycle that would try to pass down generationally. If

797
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:02.960
<v Speaker 2>that's you, you're under the sound of my voice. I

798
00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:04.480
<v Speaker 2>feel the presence of God in this place.

799
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:04.840
<v Speaker 7>Y'all.

800
00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:06.840
<v Speaker 2>There are people that God has been trying to get

801
00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:08.880
<v Speaker 2>your attention for decades.

802
00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:14.000
<v Speaker 3>And today is the day of salvation. Church. I need

803
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:14.880
<v Speaker 3>you to begin to pray.

804
00:49:15.039 --> 00:49:16.760
<v Speaker 2>If you're in this room under the sound of my

805
00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:21.239
<v Speaker 2>voice and you want to receive the free gift of God,

806
00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:24.719
<v Speaker 2>which is salvation, the Bible tells you that you can

807
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:27.400
<v Speaker 2>receive that by, according to Romans, by.

808
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:29.639
<v Speaker 3>Confessing and believing.

809
00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:31.480
<v Speaker 2>That Jesus Christ is Lord in this moment.

810
00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:33.760
<v Speaker 3>Right now. Tomorrow is not promised.

811
00:49:33.840 --> 00:49:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Right now is the time that you are supposed to

812
00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:40.239
<v Speaker 2>receive the Sun Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior

813
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:42.440
<v Speaker 2>on account of three. If you're saying, pastor, I want

814
00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:44.360
<v Speaker 2>you to include me in that prayer. I just want

815
00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:46.000
<v Speaker 2>you to slip your hand in the air. I already

816

00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:53.639

00:49:54.519 --> 00:49:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Hand up all over this building if you want to

<v Speaker 3>I see you, I see a transformation in church. I

823
00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:00.519
<v Speaker 3>see you.

824
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:02.679
<v Speaker 2>How do we celebrate people?

<v Speaker 3>God sees you. Heaven is recording this.

829
00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Every hand that went up in the chat, every hand

830
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:15.079
<v Speaker 2>that went up at their job.

831
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:17.159
<v Speaker 3>God sees this.

832
00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:20.000
<v Speaker 2>This is what Ea stir is about the good news

833
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:23.239
<v Speaker 2>of Jesus Christ and that transformation.

834

852
00:51:33.440 --> 00:51:36.360
<v Speaker 2>of God into your life. I hope you let Jesus in.

853
00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:37.840
<v Speaker 5>If you did, I.

854
00:51:37.800 --> 00:51:40.159

<v Speaker 2>what a better day than today to give your life

860
00:51:53.199 --> 00:51:57.559
<v Speaker 2>fully to God. Darkness has a deadline.

861
00:51:57.039 --> 00:51:58.400
<v Speaker 5>And you can clock it.

862
00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:00.800
<v Speaker 2>It is a new season for you, a new day,

863
00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:01.920
<v Speaker 2>new grace and mercy.

864
00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:04.400
<v Speaker 5>Do not fall back into the old patterns.

865
00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:06.440
<v Speaker 2>And as a matter of fact, I want to encourage

866
00:52:06.440 --> 00:52:08.960
<v Speaker 2>you to join us again here next week. I'm telling

867
00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:11.840
<v Speaker 2>you give me four weeks. Then it'll turn into four months,

868
00:52:11.880 --> 00:52:14.360
<v Speaker 2>four years, and then forty years. Like I'm telling you,

869
00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:16.519
<v Speaker 2>if you let the Son in, it becomes something that

870
00:52:16.599 --> 00:52:21.000
<v Speaker 2>transforms your entire life. I'm so grateful for you. I'm

871
00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:23.039
<v Speaker 2>gonna ask you for two things. If this message has

872
00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:25.559
<v Speaker 2>blessed you in any way, would you share it with somebody?

873
00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Transformation is usually started with an invitation share this with

874
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:31.599
<v Speaker 2>the coworker, a friend of family.

875
00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:32.880
<v Speaker 5>Never put it in the family group.

876
00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Check and see if God doesn't allow his son to

877
00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:39.920
<v Speaker 2>change somebody else's life. And the second thing is if

878
00:52:39.960 --> 00:52:43.119
<v Speaker 2>you would pray about giving and helping us further this mission.

879
00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:46.199
<v Speaker 2>We are going into prisons and going into the communities

880
00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:48.639
<v Speaker 2>and doing things all over the world to try to

881
00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:51.960
<v Speaker 2>help bring transformation in Christ. And every dollar and every

882
00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:53.719
<v Speaker 2>obedience step it helps that.

883
00:52:54.079 --> 00:52:55.000
<v Speaker 5>So pray, and if.

884
00:52:54.920 --> 00:52:56.960
<v Speaker 2>God tells you to do something, you can give, and

885
00:52:57.000 --> 00:52:59.199
<v Speaker 2>we will be forever grateful because you will be a

886
00:52:59.239 --> 00:53:02.679
<v Speaker 2>part of transforming other people's lives. Well, until next week,

887
00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:06.079
<v Speaker 2>I want you to go out and live a transform life.

888
00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:06.559
<v Speaker 5>I love you.
