Unlock the secrets to manifesting God's glory in your life as we explore the profound ministry of the Holy Spirit. Promising to transform your understanding of Christian faith, this episode challenges the notion of Christian evolution, affirming that all creation was designed for God's glory. We affirm the eternal plan of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection, which serves as the cornerstone of unlocking spiritual insights. As believers, you are a preordained vessel for this divine glory, and recognizing Christ within you as the hope of glory is essential for profound spiritual growth.

Ever wondered why trials and afflictions are a part of life? We offer insights into how these challenges serve the highest purpose, likening them to the heat needed for certain seeds to germinate. Through personal anecdotes and biblical teachings, discover how enduring hardships can foster a deeper manifestation of God's glory within you. Additionally, financial prosperity is explored as a test of wisdom, emphasizing the necessity of managing blessings effectively.

00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:01.124
Glory to God.

00:00:01.124 --> 00:00:09.428
Let's continue on in the second book of Corinthians, corinthians, chapter 2, in verse chapter 4.

00:00:09.428 --> 00:00:25.888
It's 4, and we're going to be in verse 17 today, but we are here because we are learning the names of the Holy Spirit.

00:00:25.888 --> 00:00:43.773
The name of the Spirit we're learning here is that he is a Spirit of ministry, and this particular ministry that is revealed to us in chapters 3 and 4 of 2 Corinthians is a ministry of glory, hallelujah.

00:00:43.773 --> 00:01:11.153
There are some verses in this section of Scripture that are so key to the understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ that I would encourage you to read chapter 3, chapter 4, meditate on it, memorize parts of it, it, so that it gets in you in new and fresh ways.

00:01:11.153 --> 00:01:12.034
Amen.

00:01:13.462 --> 00:01:24.070
Verse 6 says this For it is God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness has now shone in our hearts, in our spirits.

00:01:24.070 --> 00:01:33.721
Amen has now shown in our hearts, in our spirits.

00:01:33.721 --> 00:01:36.504
Amen to beam forth this light of the gospel of glory in the face of Jesus Christ.

00:01:36.504 --> 00:01:36.784
Amen.

00:01:36.784 --> 00:01:57.483
You are now, in this new covenant, a transmitter, a conduit, a vessel, a vehicle through which God fully intends to manifest the fullness of his glory, amen.

00:01:57.483 --> 00:02:15.710
But in order to do that, you have to be a vessel that knows the glory, amen he has shown in our hearts, so that we can have the knowledge of the glory of the gospel, the knowledge of this glorious gospel.

00:02:15.710 --> 00:02:23.030
See, if people want to preach a gospel that is not glorious, it is not the gospel.

00:02:23.030 --> 00:02:27.566
Paul said it this way.

00:02:27.566 --> 00:02:41.084
He said if I came preaching to you another gospel, I should be accursed, because there's only one gospel, and the gospel according to right here in this section of Scripture, is the gospel of glory.

00:02:41.084 --> 00:02:43.730
There is no other gospel.

00:02:43.730 --> 00:02:58.104
This is what God has filled us for, so that, even though we have this treasure, the gospel of glory in earthen vessels amen, the excellency of the power of God is still going to be demonstrated.

00:02:58.104 --> 00:03:13.193
See, and that is one of the great core mystery I've talked about this several times now the great core mystery of all mysteries is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

00:03:13.193 --> 00:03:37.853
And the fact is that, even though we have this treasure in earthen vessels, this Christ is still going to manifest his glory, and that's the way he has ordained it, and it has been that way since way before anything was created, and he created all things to accomplish this purpose.

00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:48.943
Listen, you have to understand this, folks, because people that don't understand why creation was created and why creation is the way it is.

00:03:48.943 --> 00:03:55.961
Why is there a creation that was formed for Adam and another creation that was formed by Christ?

00:03:55.961 --> 00:03:57.484
Why is that?

00:03:57.484 --> 00:04:02.891
Why is there a first Adam and a second Adam?

00:04:02.891 --> 00:04:10.163
And religion will tell you that it's because Adam sinned that the second Adam had to come.

00:04:10.163 --> 00:04:19.862
That's impossible, because the second Adam was crucified before the first Adam was ever made.

00:04:22.107 --> 00:04:26.675
The Bible says that Jesus was crucified before the foundations of the earth.

00:04:26.675 --> 00:04:29.660
He was resurrected before the foundations of the earth.

00:04:29.660 --> 00:04:41.531
All of that happened because that period of time between Jesus' entering into his suffering and entering into the upper room and coming out of the tomb is timeless.

00:04:41.531 --> 00:04:45.745
It was just inserted out of the tomb is timeless.

00:04:45.745 --> 00:04:46.427
It was just inserted.

00:04:46.427 --> 00:04:59.002
When Jesus walked up the steps into the upper room, he stepped out of time and into this thing that God had inserted in time.

00:04:59.002 --> 00:05:05.267
In the fullness of time, god inserted this timeless thing that is at the center of everything.

00:05:05.267 --> 00:05:08.550
For that all things were made.

00:05:08.550 --> 00:05:11.995
There was nothing made that was not made by him and through him.

00:05:11.995 --> 00:05:13.836
Are you getting any of this?

00:05:13.836 --> 00:05:24.029
In other words, everything was made by him and through him, but it was made for him and it was made for this second creation.

00:05:24.029 --> 00:05:37.209
The first creation was just a setup for the second and the second was actually accomplished way before anything was made, but we were the first.

00:05:41.081 --> 00:05:49.182
Now see, religion won't teach you this, because religion basically teaches Christian evolution, and that we're an accident.

00:05:49.182 --> 00:05:57.026
We're an accident of birth, we're an accident of causality, we're an accident of all these different forces coming together.

00:05:57.026 --> 00:05:59.213
This is just Christian evolution.

00:05:59.213 --> 00:06:03.728
You know, in wacko stage, it's got no scientific backup.

00:06:03.728 --> 00:06:10.725
It's just the fantasy of men, because they have not yet opened up the key to revelation.

00:06:10.725 --> 00:06:15.781
They haven't opened up the key which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

00:06:15.781 --> 00:06:21.963
As soon as this Christ comes in, he starts to one of the first things that God starts.

00:06:21.963 --> 00:06:38.466
Teaching you in his resurrected form is what creation is all about, and the fact is that everything that was created the Bible says clearly we were all over this in verse 15, that all things are for your sake.

00:06:39.968 --> 00:06:41.190
Now, how many things did he make?

00:06:41.190 --> 00:06:42.254
He made all things.

00:06:42.254 --> 00:06:44.543
Where are all these things?

00:06:44.543 --> 00:06:46.250
Well, just lift up your eyes and look around.

00:06:46.250 --> 00:06:48.927
If you don't believe what you see, take a trip.

00:06:48.927 --> 00:06:50.745
You'll see some more.

00:06:50.745 --> 00:06:53.985
It's fascinating everywhere you go.

00:06:55.129 --> 00:07:00.732
I've always said this I have not yet been to anywhere that God made, that was ugly.

00:07:00.732 --> 00:07:05.848
I've been to a lot of ugly cities, a lot of ugly.

00:07:05.848 --> 00:07:14.968
You know barrios and places where people live that man made, but I've never been to anywhere that God made that was ugly.

00:07:14.968 --> 00:07:24.091
Now, some are drier than others, some are more dangerous than others, but I've never been someplace that's ugly.

00:07:24.091 --> 00:07:25.519
Hello, because he makes that's ugly.

00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.783
Hello, because he makes all things good.

00:07:29.627 --> 00:07:32.492
Hello, hallelujah, praise the Lord.

00:07:32.492 --> 00:07:46.353
So all things are for your sakes, for this one purpose that glory may extend through us and bring thanksgiving to God for his glory.

00:07:46.353 --> 00:07:49.244
So glory is the center thing.

00:07:49.244 --> 00:08:07.372
The knowledge of glory is what he has given his gospel for, and that we are vessels of glory and that Christ dwells in us is the key revelatory piece of of revelation that you have to have in order to open any other revelations.

00:08:07.372 --> 00:08:24.132
So when people deny that core revelation, they deny the revelation of Jesus and their religion is based on a man-made knowledge of him.

00:08:24.132 --> 00:08:36.265
Now you can see how easy this would be after 2,000 years, because the only way this thing stays alive for 2,000 years is by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

00:08:36.265 --> 00:08:46.809
Hello, not by the revelation that some man gave us 500 years ago or 400 years ago or 150 years ago or 75 years ago.

00:08:47.341 --> 00:08:54.903
That won't get it, praise God, I guarantee you.

00:08:54.903 --> 00:09:20.912
I guarantee you that 90% of modern day Pentecostal churches, if they believe anything at all anymore about creation, they're going to believe what came out of Dake's Bible, because that is the Bible for Pentecostalism.

00:09:20.912 --> 00:09:35.101
Now don't look at me like I just spoke blasphemy, because I've got two copies of it and I've read more of it than probably all of you put together.

00:09:35.101 --> 00:09:36.486
So that doesn't matter.

00:09:36.486 --> 00:09:41.591
I'm just telling you, if that's where you get your information, you haven't got any revelation yet.

00:09:41.591 --> 00:09:53.566
I'm not saying he's absolutely wrong, I'm just saying he didn't have the full picture and nobody does.

00:09:53.566 --> 00:10:09.589
That's why you keep having to go back and go back and go back to open up the doors of revelation, with the key of Christ in me, the hope of glory, hallelujah, praise God.

00:10:10.779 --> 00:10:29.961
Now, in view of the fact last time we talked about verse 16, therefore, we do not lose heart, we don't faint, we don't give in to pressure, we don't cave in, even though this outward man, this hull, this husk of a shell of seed that we call flesh, is perishing.

00:10:29.961 --> 00:10:41.024
The inward man, the spirit man, the man that's being formed into the image of Jesus, is being renewed day by day.

00:10:41.024 --> 00:11:01.879
Everybody say I am being renewed, I am not perishing, this is perishing, but I am not this, I am what's inside, and what's inside is Christ, the hope of glory.

00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:07.335
Is Christ the hope of glory?

00:11:07.335 --> 00:11:07.455
Now?

00:11:07.455 --> 00:11:07.674
I'm that.

00:11:07.674 --> 00:11:10.000
Now.

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.091
When you start seeing that as your reality, then you understand why the inward man cannot perish.

00:11:14.091 --> 00:11:17.668
He is renewed day by day.

00:11:17.668 --> 00:11:18.230
By whom?

00:11:18.230 --> 00:11:20.828
By the Christ of glory that dwells in you.

00:11:20.828 --> 00:11:25.071
Now the outward man may be perishing.

00:11:25.071 --> 00:11:26.783
Now.

00:11:26.783 --> 00:11:29.586
That means two things it's on its way to a tomb.

00:11:29.586 --> 00:11:50.413
It's the job of the inward man to prolong that as long as possible, not to get in agreement with it, but to prolong that appointed time so that you live as long as it pleases you.

00:11:50.413 --> 00:11:58.182
Hello, see, you don't have to get sick and die.

00:11:58.182 --> 00:12:04.727
You can just go when you want to go or when Jesus calls you.

00:12:10.513 --> 00:12:16.057
I'm fully persuaded that the appointment of death is when the glory can no longer.

00:12:16.057 --> 00:12:22.639
That is built up inside of you can no longer be contained in this vessel.

00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:28.346
That's what I think.

00:12:28.346 --> 00:12:34.696
So I'm on a collision course between glory and this flesh.

00:12:34.696 --> 00:12:37.442
I'm filling it up.

00:12:37.442 --> 00:12:38.885
Somebody say I'm filling it up.

00:12:38.885 --> 00:12:41.932
I'm filling it up, hallelujah.

00:12:41.932 --> 00:12:50.182
What about you filling it up, hallelujah?

00:12:50.182 --> 00:12:50.482
What about you?

00:12:50.482 --> 00:12:54.392
Praise God Now, every day, there's this thing that happens in us as glory increases, this flesh has to die a little bit.

00:12:55.654 --> 00:13:14.533
So the process of death, of laying down your life so that you can pick it back up again, that Jesus teaches us, that Jesus learned from the Father, that Jesus showed us on the cross, amen is repeated in us, because the King of glory lives in you and he knows how to do this.

00:13:14.533 --> 00:13:17.846
He knows exactly how much you have to die today.

00:13:17.846 --> 00:13:29.870
He knows how much you have to die to embarrassment, how much you have to die to self-importance, how much you have to die to embarrassment, how much you have to die to self-importance, how much you have to die to desires and all these kinds of things that you know.

00:13:29.870 --> 00:13:32.501
Jesus is going to teach you day by day.

00:13:32.501 --> 00:13:34.245
You really don't need all of that.

00:13:34.245 --> 00:13:40.765
You can get rid of this today and you can get rid of that today, and you can get rid and all these.

00:13:40.765 --> 00:13:49.253
It's not like you're laying down and somebody's putting you in a pine box and then all of a sudden you're knocking out the nails, you know, and just coming up.

00:13:49.253 --> 00:13:50.325
That's not how it is.

00:13:50.325 --> 00:13:56.952
It's the little parts of you that get formed day by day.

00:13:56.952 --> 00:13:59.908
You can't be formed overnight.

00:13:59.908 --> 00:14:03.682
That's just not.

00:14:03.682 --> 00:14:06.331
That's not the process that God has ordained.

00:14:06.331 --> 00:14:07.706
Don't ask me.

00:14:07.706 --> 00:14:14.551
I would have preferred a quick transformation, but it doesn't work that way.

00:14:14.551 --> 00:14:21.386
That one yeah, I would have liked that one that's salvation, but it didn't work that way.

00:14:21.386 --> 00:14:24.655
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:14:25.863 --> 00:14:27.427
Today I want to talk just a few minutes.

00:14:27.427 --> 00:14:30.548
I'm not going to go too long because we can pick this up another time.

00:14:30.548 --> 00:14:32.705
I just want to introduce this Verse 17,.

00:14:32.705 --> 00:14:45.485
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us, a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

00:14:45.485 --> 00:14:52.447
The Bible says this Now, you don't like to hear this.

00:14:52.447 --> 00:14:54.625
I don't like to hear this.

00:14:54.625 --> 00:14:56.826
Does anybody like to hear this?

00:14:56.826 --> 00:14:59.889
That many are the afflictions of the righteous.

00:14:59.889 --> 00:15:15.428
I mean, we'd be in a real pickle if that's where that passage stopped and like what, I'm not going to sign up for that Many are the afflictions of the righteous.

00:15:17.980 --> 00:15:19.083
Paul said it this way.

00:15:19.083 --> 00:15:28.308
He said anybody who would live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution, tribulations, storms.

00:15:28.308 --> 00:15:29.530
They're going to come.

00:15:29.530 --> 00:15:35.662
Why do good things, bad things, happen to good people?

00:15:35.662 --> 00:15:45.202
Because storms come, tribulations come, persecutions come, afflictions come.

00:15:45.202 --> 00:15:51.509
Do you know that there's some?

00:15:51.509 --> 00:16:09.567
If you take, for example, there are some species of evergreens that produce pine cones and that sort of thing that the only way that that seed ever gets into a state where it can germinate is by a forest fire?

00:16:09.567 --> 00:16:12.234
Did you know that?

00:16:12.234 --> 00:16:16.284
I couldn't tell you the species?

00:16:16.284 --> 00:16:20.043
I don't know exactly and I don't think they're all like that, but there are some.

00:16:20.043 --> 00:16:25.354
They fall to the ground, like Jesus said fall to the ground and die.

00:16:25.354 --> 00:16:30.511
Well, they don't quite make it that far, unless there's a major catastrophe.

00:16:30.511 --> 00:16:46.407
They have to be in a forest fire in order to break out the hardness of their husk so that what's inside can survive and go to the ground and die.

00:16:49.572 --> 00:17:03.690
Amen, storms come, afflictions come, pressures come, tribulations come Because they produce character.

00:17:03.690 --> 00:17:09.070
Isn't that what Paul said in Romans?

00:17:09.070 --> 00:17:19.731
He said for tribulation worketh patience, and patience worketh hope, and hope maketh not a shame, for the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost.

00:17:19.731 --> 00:17:22.619
Somewhere in there, something produces character.

00:17:22.619 --> 00:17:27.334
Somewhere in there, something produces character.

00:17:27.334 --> 00:17:32.848
Amen, hallelujah.

00:17:32.848 --> 00:17:41.412
You're not ever going to be who Jesus wants you to be until your faith and the glory levels in you are tested.

00:17:41.412 --> 00:17:54.141
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:17:54.141 --> 00:17:54.722
Now, watch this.

00:17:54.762 --> 00:17:59.432
I had the opportunity to pray for a young lady the other day and I had this word for her and I said you know what I said?

00:17:59.432 --> 00:18:03.467
God's going to bring you a new level of prosperity.

00:18:03.467 --> 00:18:08.295
Now most people would say amen, yay and hallelujah.

00:18:08.295 --> 00:18:26.641
But I said this prosperity is coming to you as a test and a trial, because along with this gift of prosperity is coming a gift of wisdom, so that you'll learn how to manage the giftings and the things that God gives you.

00:18:26.641 --> 00:18:33.080
So you could think, you know, you could think well, if I won the lottery, I just have it made.

00:18:33.080 --> 00:18:41.928
No, if you won the lottery, there'd be, there'd be a level of testing like you have never seen before, because that's really a curse.

00:18:41.928 --> 00:18:49.445
All the people that just do the research, I mean they end up broke in no time Because they haven't got a clue.

00:18:53.462 --> 00:18:59.924
Do you remember back in the day there was a guy who played for the Cowboys called Hollywood Henderson.

00:18:59.924 --> 00:19:00.688
Remember him?

00:19:00.688 --> 00:19:02.286
He won the lottery.

00:19:02.286 --> 00:19:07.990
He won I don't know what it was $50 million or something like that.

00:19:07.990 --> 00:19:27.036
He won a bunch of money and he had the good sense to go and ask Roger Staubach, who was a billionaire, richest football player that's ever lived and he said, went and had a good sense of asking him what should I do with that money?

00:19:27.036 --> 00:19:31.717
He said you need to invest that in municipal bonds at 5% interest.

00:19:31.717 --> 00:19:40.894
I can't remember what the math was, but it guaranteed him an annual income of $250,000 and never touched the principal.

00:19:40.894 --> 00:19:47.135
As far as I know today he's still got the $50 million.

00:19:48.125 --> 00:19:54.078
And if you can't live on $250,000 a year you need to have your head examined.

00:19:54.078 --> 00:19:56.911
That's pretty good living.

00:19:56.911 --> 00:20:07.071
If you get tired, need a little hit, you can go over here and tap into that if you want to, but you understand what I'm saying.

00:20:07.071 --> 00:20:09.432
Most people don't have the sense enough to do that.

00:20:09.432 --> 00:20:13.231
Glory to God.

00:20:14.785 --> 00:20:26.496
Afflictions come, pressures come, trials come, but Paul says they are but light afflictions and they are momentary.

00:20:26.496 --> 00:20:39.597
This is something that mature Christians learn and they learn to assess quickly that it doesn't matter what hits them in the face.

00:20:39.597 --> 00:20:40.685
It's going to pass.

00:20:40.685 --> 00:20:49.376
It has not come to stay, it has not come to set up residence Amen, it is going to pass.

00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:58.955
Now, over the past few years, my wife and I have had to endure some physical things that have come to us Amen.

00:20:58.955 --> 00:21:01.306
That were not pleasant.

00:21:01.306 --> 00:21:04.750
They were painful.

00:21:04.750 --> 00:21:08.596
Doctors said you know surgery.

00:21:08.596 --> 00:21:11.961
Doctors said you know years of rehab.

00:21:11.961 --> 00:21:17.738
Doctors said you know, if you don't do this you're going to lose the use of you know?

00:21:17.738 --> 00:21:20.048
I said I don't think so.

00:21:20.048 --> 00:21:26.817
But in no cases did we get instantaneous healings.

00:21:27.199 --> 00:21:39.058
We had to go through the light and momentary affliction to see the deliverance that numerous doctors said was impossible.

00:21:39.058 --> 00:21:46.695
But you had to wait, knowing it was going to pass.

00:21:46.695 --> 00:21:48.484
There were some days it didn't look like it was going to pass.

00:21:48.484 --> 00:21:53.317
There were some days it didn't look like it was going to pass, and there were certainly a bunch of days that it didn't feel like it was going to pass.

00:21:53.317 --> 00:22:02.829
But in your knower, in your spirit, man, in this glory deposit that's inside of you, the word says it's going to pass.

00:22:02.829 --> 00:22:04.753
It came to pass.

00:22:04.753 --> 00:22:08.249
It didn't came to stay, came to pass.

00:22:08.249 --> 00:22:09.112
It didn't came to stay.

00:22:09.132 --> 00:22:09.251
Amen.

00:22:09.251 --> 00:22:15.425
Are you following me Now?

00:22:15.425 --> 00:22:21.731
You've got to know that, or else you're going to get in bed with that thing and it's just going to be a part of you instead of the glory being a part of you.

00:22:21.731 --> 00:22:26.105
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

00:22:26.105 --> 00:22:28.469
Praise the Lord.

00:22:28.469 --> 00:22:31.613
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

00:22:31.613 --> 00:22:36.560
They are light and momentary.

00:22:36.560 --> 00:22:41.790
Now, when you're in the middle of it.

00:22:41.790 --> 00:22:47.477
It doesn't seem like that, but you got to change the channel on your seamer.

00:22:47.477 --> 00:22:50.788
But you've got to change the channel on your seamer.

00:22:50.788 --> 00:22:53.090
I'm being funny, but I'm being dead serious.

00:22:53.090 --> 00:23:10.241
You've got to change the channel on what seems to you, what appears to be the reality, because spirit, glory, people can turn into another channel.

00:23:10.241 --> 00:23:14.666
We can turn into another channel.

00:23:14.666 --> 00:23:21.957
We can turn into another channel that says this thing has come to pass and it's passing by, it's going gone, it's not here anymore.

00:23:23.019 --> 00:23:27.753
The one who lives in me, the greater one that lives in me, has a name.

00:23:27.753 --> 00:23:30.761
Does he have a name?

00:23:30.761 --> 00:23:33.568
It's just not some nameless spirit.

00:23:33.568 --> 00:23:41.594
I'm trying to get this thing to you that this spirit that lives in us has numerous names, has at least three dozen names that we're studying.

00:23:41.594 --> 00:23:47.009
Every one of those names is enough revelation to carry you through to eternity.

00:23:47.009 --> 00:23:50.036
Are you getting what I'm telling you?

00:23:50.036 --> 00:23:50.637
I'm not.

00:23:50.637 --> 00:23:51.338
I'm not doing.

00:23:51.338 --> 00:23:52.710
We have been doing this for two years.

00:23:52.710 --> 00:23:54.153
Do you know why we're doing this?

00:23:54.153 --> 00:23:59.587
Because you need the revelation of who it is that is occupying your space, and it's not you.

00:23:59.587 --> 00:24:05.171
It is no longer I that liveth, it is Christ that dwells in me.

00:24:06.795 --> 00:24:07.557
Get a hold of that.

00:24:07.557 --> 00:24:10.094
Everybody knows how to quote it, get a hold of it and live it.

00:24:10.094 --> 00:24:14.432
You think Jesus puts up with this stuff.

00:24:14.432 --> 00:24:17.089
He says it's a light.

00:24:17.089 --> 00:24:18.615
I've heard him say this.

00:24:18.615 --> 00:24:22.015
I'm sitting there limping around and he's going it's a light thing.

00:24:22.015 --> 00:24:24.669
I said what's that mean?

00:24:24.669 --> 00:24:26.335
The Lord says I'm going to put my light on it.

00:24:30.746 --> 00:24:35.674
Now, see, it doesn't say that in that scripture, but that's what Jesus said about that scripture.

00:24:35.674 --> 00:24:39.513
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

00:24:39.513 --> 00:24:41.711
He said it's a light thing.

00:24:41.711 --> 00:24:42.931
I said what's that mean, lord?

00:24:42.931 --> 00:24:46.734
He said I'm going to put my light on it and I'm going to cause it to pass.

00:24:46.734 --> 00:24:51.132
I said I can get a hold of that.

00:24:51.132 --> 00:24:52.652
I can get in agreement with that.

00:24:52.652 --> 00:24:53.849
I can believe that.

00:24:53.849 --> 00:24:58.476
See, when Jesus talks to me like that, you know, I can believe that.

00:24:58.476 --> 00:25:06.718
I don't have to work up my faith saying this verse 20 times to myself just to build up faith in myself.

00:25:06.718 --> 00:25:12.073
I need to hear the one that wrote it Tell me what it means to me in this moment.

00:25:12.073 --> 00:25:15.185
So this is a light thing and I'm going to put my light on it.

00:25:15.185 --> 00:25:21.195
What light?

00:25:21.195 --> 00:25:23.358
The light of the glory of the gospel of Christ.

00:25:23.358 --> 00:25:27.467
That's the light, hallelujah.

00:25:27.467 --> 00:25:29.173
And it causes me.

00:25:29.173 --> 00:25:33.028
When he does that, it causes me to come into greater knowledge of his glory.

00:25:33.028 --> 00:25:41.740
Praise the Lord.

00:25:41.740 --> 00:25:46.647
See this light.

00:25:46.647 --> 00:25:47.329
Affliction is.

00:25:47.329 --> 00:25:49.296
But for a moment, everybody say a moment.

00:25:51.965 --> 00:25:58.019
We think, when things happen to us, that it's going to be forever, don't we?

00:25:58.019 --> 00:26:01.971
You know, bad things happen.

00:26:01.971 --> 00:26:04.047
You just think, oh my gosh, this is going to just.

00:26:04.047 --> 00:26:07.576
Oh Lord, I'm never going to get out of this.

00:26:07.576 --> 00:26:10.186
I'm never going to.

00:26:10.186 --> 00:26:11.128
Oh Lord, I'm never going to get out of this.

00:26:11.128 --> 00:26:11.509
I'm never going to.

00:26:11.529 --> 00:26:16.419
You know, listen, everybody in this room has been into financial disaster.

00:26:16.419 --> 00:26:26.130
You know, I mean, you know debts up to here, people calling you nine times a day threatening to imprison your children.

00:26:26.130 --> 00:26:29.868
You know, just, I mean just doing everything imaginable.

00:26:29.868 --> 00:26:31.675
You know they're going to just.

00:26:31.675 --> 00:26:35.387
You know they're going to call the IRS, they're going to call the police.

00:26:35.387 --> 00:26:37.374
They're going to call, you know, the FBI.

00:26:37.374 --> 00:26:39.186
They're going to call Interpol.

00:26:39.186 --> 00:26:39.848
They're going to just.

00:26:39.848 --> 00:26:43.184
You know they're going to do everything they can possibly do to you.

00:26:43.184 --> 00:26:45.630
They're making up stuff on the phone.

00:26:45.630 --> 00:26:50.318
You know, you think I'm never going to get out of this.

00:26:50.318 --> 00:27:00.288
You got out, it was, but for a moment it just seemed like a long time.

00:27:00.288 --> 00:27:01.753
Amen.

00:27:03.346 --> 00:27:05.413
Well, you got to change the channel on your seamer.

00:27:05.413 --> 00:27:20.592
I'm trying to get something across to you today that you know change what seems to be If it seems to be forever.

00:27:20.592 --> 00:27:34.200
You need to change the seamer To a channel that doesn't say forever, to a channel that says momentary, to a channel that says light thing.

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.025
To a channel that says this is passing.

00:27:37.025 --> 00:27:52.432
To a channel that says to the king of glory, this is a no thing, what things, what things, what things?

00:27:52.432 --> 00:27:59.385
You see when things happen to you, the purpose of those things.

00:27:59.385 --> 00:28:01.929
Can I get some help here?

00:28:01.929 --> 00:28:05.373
Jesus has created all things.

00:28:07.134 --> 00:28:12.361
Some of these things are going to cause light and momentary afflictions.

00:28:12.361 --> 00:28:15.749
Now, see, we're not ready for this.

00:28:15.749 --> 00:28:21.950
We're not ready for Jesus to be guiding us through the path of afflictions.

00:28:21.950 --> 00:28:26.459
Yea, though, I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, thou art.

00:28:26.459 --> 00:28:30.577
Well, what's he doing with you in the valley of the shadow of death?

00:28:30.577 --> 00:28:32.144
Thou art Well, what's he doing with you in the valley of the shadow of death?

00:28:32.144 --> 00:28:34.413
Why didn't he just get you out of there?

00:28:34.413 --> 00:28:40.516
Because there are light and momentary afflictions in that valley.

00:28:40.516 --> 00:28:42.692
But here's what?

00:28:42.692 --> 00:28:56.018
But all the time you're walking through there, the king of glory is going what things, what things, what things, what things and you got to learn to change the channel of your seamer.

00:28:56.018 --> 00:29:06.913
You got to learn to say instead of looking at what seems to be a disaster because of the things that are pressing you, you've got to look at what the king of glory is saying.

00:29:06.913 --> 00:29:10.239
And he says what things.

00:29:10.239 --> 00:29:33.691
And you choose glory and you choose grace, and you choose the King of glory and what he's saying about it, and it changes the channel of your semer so that what seems to be now the case is this monumental light of glory bearing down on these things and pushing them out of the way and, all of a sudden, deliverance is all around you.

00:29:33.691 --> 00:29:41.714
All because you changed the channel of your seamer into what seems to you.

00:29:41.714 --> 00:29:47.851
See, I choose to look at the things that seem eternal.

00:29:47.851 --> 00:29:53.191
I get better focus.

00:29:58.589 --> 00:30:00.476
You know you can use lenses.

00:30:00.476 --> 00:30:01.650
Let's use this example.

00:30:01.650 --> 00:30:04.994
You can use lenses for two different reasons.

00:30:04.994 --> 00:30:21.753
You can use lenses to bring up things that are real small and make them real big, or you can use lenses to look out and look at things that are really big and make them small enough for you to see with your eyes.

00:30:21.753 --> 00:30:32.375
I'd rather do that Rather than make mountains out of molehills.

00:30:32.375 --> 00:30:34.531
I'd rather make molehills out of mountains.

00:30:34.531 --> 00:30:36.199
Amen.

00:30:36.199 --> 00:30:44.355
It all depends on which way you turn the lens.

00:30:44.355 --> 00:30:51.035
Haven't you ever looked out the backside of a pair of binoculars?

00:30:51.035 --> 00:30:51.807
You don't see.

00:30:51.807 --> 00:30:57.474
The same thing Looks completely different because you just flip the lens around.

00:30:57.474 --> 00:30:59.332
You changed the seamer.

00:31:04.846 --> 00:31:06.305
Somebody's going to listen to this on tape.

00:31:06.325 --> 00:31:06.747
What is he talking about?

00:31:06.325 --> 00:31:06.719
Somebody's going to listen to this on tape.

00:31:06.628 --> 00:31:08.056
What is he talking about?

00:31:12.180 --> 00:31:14.021
These afflictions are working for you.

00:31:14.021 --> 00:31:21.873
Everybody say these afflictions and I hate them, but they're working for me.

00:31:21.873 --> 00:31:47.564
So if they're working for you, then you have command over them and you can change how the outcome is going to be for this affliction, because it's working for you.

00:31:47.564 --> 00:31:57.337
See, how many times have you read these scriptures and how many times did you ever think that afflictions are working for me?

00:31:57.337 --> 00:32:02.535
Not one, because religion won't let you think like that.

00:32:02.535 --> 00:32:06.183
Religion's got you down on your knees.

00:32:06.183 --> 00:32:07.450
Oh God, help me.

00:32:07.450 --> 00:32:15.509
Jesus, like God doesn't even know what's going on, that this affliction just caught him up, slapped him upside the head and go.

00:32:15.509 --> 00:32:17.875
Oh my goodness, my children are in trouble.

00:32:17.875 --> 00:32:18.998
I better go help them.

00:32:18.998 --> 00:32:23.528
That rule number one where is he?

00:32:23.528 --> 00:32:28.233
Where is he and where else is he?

00:32:28.233 --> 00:32:30.557
Everywhere, and what does he know?

00:32:30.557 --> 00:32:41.425
And so how could this possibly be a surprise when he created all things for you, and this just happens to be one of them that you're going through.

00:32:41.425 --> 00:32:43.588
But it's working for you.

00:32:43.588 --> 00:32:57.342
See, when he created them, he created them to work for you, but only if you're a child of glory, otherwise you're going to be crushed by it.

00:32:57.342 --> 00:32:57.664
But we are.

00:32:57.664 --> 00:32:59.969
What did Paul say?

00:32:59.969 --> 00:33:06.015
We are crushed, but not destroyed.

00:33:06.015 --> 00:33:11.089
You can be crushed, it's okay, as long as the glory pushes back.

00:33:11.089 --> 00:33:13.277
See, we're talking.

00:33:13.464 --> 00:33:16.451
These passages of scripture were not written for baby Christians.

00:33:16.451 --> 00:33:21.227
They were written for mature, glory-bearing sons of God.

00:33:21.227 --> 00:33:30.135
Can I tell you something real quick?

00:33:30.135 --> 00:33:33.579
I've told you this before, but I'm going to tell you again.

00:33:33.579 --> 00:33:34.980
Paul was in the book.

00:33:34.980 --> 00:33:43.324
Paul probably was not really in the tent-making business.

00:33:43.324 --> 00:33:46.109
Those words can be alternately translated in other ways.

00:33:46.109 --> 00:34:17.217
He was probably in the book binding and distribution business, and what he bound and distributed were Bibles, and the first Bibles that he bound and distributed were collections of his letters and almost universally, those sets contain, going back to the earliest copies we have, which are about in the years in the 200s Romans, corinthians, galatians and Hebrews.

00:34:17.217 --> 00:34:25.898
That's what Paul considered to be the core of the gospel of his writings.

00:34:27.885 --> 00:34:37.835
And Corinthians is right in the middle of that, because Corinthians is fundamental, this section of Scripture, I can't overestimate its importance.

00:34:37.835 --> 00:34:40.693
You get a hold of some of the revelation in this.

00:34:40.693 --> 00:34:43.114
It will transform the way you think.

00:34:43.114 --> 00:34:45.931
But most people just go.

00:34:45.931 --> 00:34:49.911
So you never had a clue that tribulations work for you.

00:34:49.911 --> 00:35:01.554
See, religion tells you, well, they just kind of they, they, they kind of you know, they just kind of get in there and they grind you and press you and you know, if you make it out, you'll be a better person.

00:35:01.554 --> 00:35:06.835
But but sons of glory look at it different.

00:35:06.835 --> 00:35:11.630
They look at it like this this thing is here.

00:35:11.630 --> 00:35:13.451
God put it here.

00:35:13.451 --> 00:35:20.934
I just didn't stumble into this like out of a bunch of bad luck, and it's certainly not the devil, because I'm a son of glory.

00:35:20.934 --> 00:35:23.193
And what does the devil got to do with this?

00:35:23.193 --> 00:35:28.971
This is between me and God, and God put this here.

00:35:28.971 --> 00:35:30.391
But he made it.

00:35:30.391 --> 00:35:34.530
Put it here for me to, for to work for me.

00:35:34.530 --> 00:35:39.576
So I've got control over this situation because I'm a son of glory.

00:35:40.478 --> 00:35:42.733
Well, you're not getting anything I'm talking about today.

00:35:42.733 --> 00:35:59.715
They're working for you, just like this death process is working for you when you get a hold of this and this death process, you'll start to embrace it, you start to look forward to it, because the more you die, the more glory is birthed into you.

00:35:59.715 --> 00:36:02.451
Are you getting any of this?

00:36:02.451 --> 00:36:17.079
So when you get a handle on the fact that afflictions are working for you, you won't start to oh God, deliver me out of this affliction.

00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:20.876
Many other afflictions are the righteous, but the Lord delivers them out of them all.

00:36:20.876 --> 00:36:36.657
And you'll get delivered quicker if you understand that they work for you and you quit trying to buddy up to them and make them your friend instead of making them your unruly employees.

00:36:36.657 --> 00:36:40.190
They work for you.

00:36:40.190 --> 00:36:58.985
Put them to work To refine off the rough edges that God's trying to get through and fill you with more glory, so that you can truly see them for what they are.

00:36:58.985 --> 00:37:02.132
They are light and they are momentary.

00:37:02.132 --> 00:37:05.307
They are not heavy and they are not eternal.

00:37:05.307 --> 00:37:13.074
They are light, they are momentary and, sure enough, as the day is long, there's going to be some more of them down the road, because many are.

00:37:13.074 --> 00:37:18.514
So you might as well just get used to it.

00:37:18.514 --> 00:37:20.592
That's how it is to a seed.

00:37:25.811 --> 00:37:44.391
What do you think the seed feels when it's trying to break out of its husk come up out of the earth and into the light of the sun, which is what the destiny of the sons of earth and the sons of God are all about.

00:37:44.391 --> 00:37:46.795
Why do you think it's different?

00:37:46.795 --> 00:37:56.697
Why do you think you're immune from this process of being formed into a son of God and escaping this seed form into your eternal form?

00:37:56.697 --> 00:38:02.512
How do you think you're going to avoid the friction of things that are around you?

00:38:02.512 --> 00:38:10.653
What kind of nonsense have you been taught that makes you think that you're immune from that?

00:38:10.653 --> 00:38:21.365
The only nonsense that you've been taught that would even come close to that is that you're not a seed, but that is so totally contrary to everything that's in the Bible you get.

00:38:21.365 --> 00:38:22.632
That doesn't even make sense.

00:38:23.144 --> 00:38:47.856
You are a seed, and seeds, by definition, when they fall to the ground and die, are going to enter into a world of much conflict, much pressure, much affliction, much tribulation, much persecution and all kinds of other pressures, so that the life that is in the seed can break forth out of this and into the glorious day of the Son of God.

00:38:47.856 --> 00:38:59.913
Praise the Lord.

00:38:59.913 --> 00:39:04.844
So change the channel, hallelujah.

00:39:04.844 --> 00:39:14.233
Death is working for you, afflictions are working for you, troubles are working for you.

00:39:14.233 --> 00:39:16.193
See, we were sold a bill of.

00:39:16.193 --> 00:39:17.519
We were sold a bill of goods.

00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:21.914
If you're a child of God, you just don't have these things.

00:39:21.914 --> 00:39:33.474
You can just bind them and loose them and confess your way out of them, and what you're binding and loosing and confessing your way out of is sonship.

00:39:35.905 --> 00:39:39.635
That kind of attitude puts you in perpetual nursery school.

00:39:39.635 --> 00:39:44.614
Oh, I wish I hadn't said that, lord.

00:39:44.614 --> 00:39:47.429
What did you do that?

00:39:47.429 --> 00:39:50.050
For Glory to God?

00:39:50.050 --> 00:39:52.269
Are you following me?

00:39:52.269 --> 00:39:53.911
I'm not mad at anybody.

00:39:53.911 --> 00:39:57.795
I'm not accusing anybody of a false doctrine here.

00:39:57.795 --> 00:39:58.806
That's not what I'm talking about.

00:39:58.806 --> 00:40:11.106
I'm just trying to get you to see for real what that kind of teaching and we've all had that, oh, when the Holy Ghost comes in, just life is going to be a bowl of cherries.

00:40:11.106 --> 00:40:13.210
It's just going to be la, la, la.

00:40:13.429 --> 00:40:15.353
Well, how come everybody still gets sick?

00:40:15.353 --> 00:40:19.760
How come most of the people are still driving rickety cars in the parking lot?

00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:28.840
None of you are.

00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:33.114
Because you're not buying into that, I better leave it alone.

00:40:33.114 --> 00:40:37.239
Lord, save that for another decade.

00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:44.364
Death is working, afflictions are working, troubles are working and they're working for you.

00:40:44.364 --> 00:40:48.034
Hallelujah, hallelujah, glory to God.

00:40:48.034 --> 00:40:49.989
You've got to see it that way.

00:40:49.989 --> 00:40:53.648
Stuff isn't working against you, it's working for you.

00:40:53.648 --> 00:41:06.833
Stuff isn't working against you, it's working for you so that you will step up as a son of glory into the authority that is yours.

00:41:06.833 --> 00:41:07.576
Now, watch this.

00:41:07.576 --> 00:41:10.173
I'm going to end in this and we're going to receive communion.

00:41:10.173 --> 00:41:13.373
I'll probably come back to this point next time.

00:41:15.726 --> 00:41:23.539
They're working for you to produce a far more and a far more exceeding.

00:41:23.539 --> 00:41:32.373
In the Greek it's this word that goes it's far more, and then even more than that, it's far more exceeding.

00:41:32.373 --> 00:41:45.331
You know, like when you went out there as far as you could go, you go, wait a minute, there's another far thing I can go to and you go out to that thing, and then there's wait a minute, there's something that's even further.

00:41:45.331 --> 00:41:54.976
That's what it's a far and a far exceeding and an even more exceeding weight of glory.

00:41:54.976 --> 00:41:56.911
That's what it's producing.

00:41:56.911 --> 00:42:05.396
These things that are working for you are working for you to produce an ever-increasing weight.

00:42:05.396 --> 00:42:11.974
Now, that's a good translation.

00:42:11.974 --> 00:42:19.335
It may not be the most inclusive translation, but it is a good translation, because glory has weight.

00:42:19.335 --> 00:42:24.291
I felt it.

00:42:24.291 --> 00:42:27.275
I felt when the Holy Ghost has moved into a meeting.

00:42:27.275 --> 00:42:33.137
Sometimes the weight of the glory can almost cause your knees to buckle.

00:42:35.807 --> 00:42:42.793
But there's another translation that I think fits this section of Scripture even better, and that is authority.

00:42:42.793 --> 00:42:43.788
Listen to it.

00:42:43.788 --> 00:42:55.414
Read like this For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more and exceeding eternal authority of glory.

00:42:55.414 --> 00:43:14.585
So this is what God's trying to produce in us as sons of glory, as sons of the gospel of glory, who are being filled with his glory on a day-by-day basis as we allow these things that are working for us to do what they're supposed to do.

00:43:14.585 --> 00:43:23.436
They're working for us To produce in us a greater authority of glory, so that when we open our mouth, glory comes out.

00:43:23.436 --> 00:43:26.601
And when glory comes out, authority comes out.

00:43:26.601 --> 00:43:39.318
And when that authority comes out, it changes things about all these things that are around us.

00:43:39.338 --> 00:43:40.983
Now, we've been taught to speak to things.

00:43:40.983 --> 00:43:45.516
We've been taught to speak to things because the authority of God's word in us has authority.

00:43:45.516 --> 00:43:46.018
Am I true?

00:43:46.018 --> 00:43:46.740
Am I right?

00:43:46.740 --> 00:43:55.266
But we never equated that with the content and authority of glory itself.

00:43:55.266 --> 00:44:01.956
What gives God in us authority is his glory.

00:44:01.956 --> 00:44:07.650
Hello, it's not by memorizing his word.

00:44:07.650 --> 00:44:16.056
You can memorize the word all day and you can say it all day, but that word doesn't have authority just because you say it.

00:44:16.056 --> 00:44:21.853
It has authority, because there's glory in here to back it up.

00:44:21.853 --> 00:44:32.414
That's why I say the key revelation is not in the authority of God's word, the key revelation is in that Christ is in you, the hope of glory.

00:44:32.414 --> 00:44:42.436
That way the thing becomes glory, from glory to glory, to glory to glory, and as the glory builds, the authority builds.

00:44:48.527 --> 00:44:49.652
I've seen this situation.

00:44:49.652 --> 00:44:54.916
I'm not going to go into detail, but just listen to me for a second.

00:44:54.916 --> 00:45:01.650
I've seen this situation recently where, well, let me put it this way, let me tell you another story.

00:45:01.650 --> 00:45:08.733
I came to this meeting and you've heard this story a lot of times, but I'm going to tell it from a different point of view.

00:45:11.786 --> 00:45:20.572
I came up to Teen Challenge one night and there was a whole bunch of the guys around and they had this one guy and he had devils.

00:45:20.572 --> 00:45:22.835
No doubt about it.

00:45:22.835 --> 00:45:29.985
The man was demon-possessed, he had devils and they were trying to cast out the devils and they were doing everything they knew to do.

00:45:29.985 --> 00:45:37.775
They were screaming, they were hollering, they were binding, they were loosing, they were cursing, they were blessing, they were doing everything they possibly knew how to do.

00:45:37.775 --> 00:45:42.476
I got there and they said oh, pastor, you're going to have to do something.

00:45:42.476 --> 00:45:44.170
That devil just won't come out.

00:45:44.170 --> 00:45:49.775
You're going to have to do something, pastor, because we've been trying and we've been trying and that devil just won't come out.

00:45:49.775 --> 00:45:51.570
Can you do something?

00:45:51.570 --> 00:45:52.695
I said where is he?

00:45:52.695 --> 00:46:02.146
You do something?

00:46:02.146 --> 00:46:02.648
I said where is he.

00:46:02.668 --> 00:46:07.864
So he's over there and he's, you know, writhing and foaming and doing all this kind of stuff and manifesting, and you know being snake-like.

00:46:07.864 --> 00:46:09.505
And you know, now watch this.

00:46:09.505 --> 00:46:27.840
I mean I've got a dozen or more guys that are filled with the Holy Ghost and they've been binding and loosening over this guy for hours and nothing's happening.

00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:33.791
I get from here to the wall from him.

00:46:33.791 --> 00:46:44.197
I don't say one thing, I haven't uttered one word yet, but the glory everybody say the glory that is in me, came out of my eyes.

00:46:44.197 --> 00:46:48.090
We locked eyes.

00:46:48.090 --> 00:46:55.112
As soon as we locked eyes, he levitated directly off the ground, three to four feet in the air, about this high.

00:46:55.112 --> 00:46:58.954
He just went, hovered like that for a second.

00:46:58.954 --> 00:47:00.289
We're still locking eyes.

00:47:00.289 --> 00:47:07.833
And then he went backwards about 25 feet in the air and slammed up against a concrete wall.

00:47:07.833 --> 00:47:16.331
He then slithered down the wall like a snake and he's sitting on the ground.

00:47:16.331 --> 00:47:18.951
We're still locking eyes.

00:47:24.385 --> 00:47:27.315
I said, in the name of Jesus come out.

00:47:27.315 --> 00:47:31.686
I'm telling you why.

00:47:31.686 --> 00:47:40.657
He shrieked, howled, foamed, slithered and did everything else and then got up off the ground speaking in tongues.

00:47:40.657 --> 00:47:46.293
The last I heard that man's still preaching the gospel.

00:47:46.293 --> 00:48:07.393
Now I'm sure they used every scripture they knew and every word of God they knew and everything they had learned and everything they had heard and everything they'd been taught and everything that came, you know, and that wasn't one of those kinds Jesus talked about.

00:48:07.393 --> 00:48:10.355
That had to be, could only be cast out by prayer and fasting.

00:48:10.726 --> 00:48:15.132
That was one that just had to have a higher level of glory confronting.

00:48:15.132 --> 00:48:23.572
And when the glory that was in this vessel came up against that devil, that devil didn't want to mess with this glory.

00:48:23.572 --> 00:48:26.851
He didn't want to mess with this glory.

00:48:26.851 --> 00:48:29.369
I've had him tell me.

00:48:29.369 --> 00:48:30.132
I've had him tell me.

00:48:30.172 --> 00:48:32.614
I said we're going to come out of this body and we're going to get into you.

00:48:32.614 --> 00:48:34.271
I said you're not going to do any such thing.

00:48:34.271 --> 00:48:37.092
I said the glory of the Lord is against you.

00:48:37.092 --> 00:48:39.090
You're going to mess with this glory.

00:48:39.090 --> 00:48:40.652
You better not mess with this glory.

00:48:40.652 --> 00:48:44.293
I'll cast you back to the pit of hell and you'll have to.

00:48:44.293 --> 00:48:45.036
You'll have to fight.

00:48:45.036 --> 00:48:51.331
You'll have to fight it out with your boss why you got cast out, why you couldn't keep control.

00:48:51.331 --> 00:48:58.646
See, they never want to go back to hell.

00:48:58.646 --> 00:49:00.291
It's a vacation for them to be up here inhabiting these flesh bodies.

00:49:00.291 --> 00:49:00.913
They love it.

00:49:00.913 --> 00:49:02.936
They get to do all the kinds of stuff they love to do.

00:49:02.936 --> 00:49:04.889
They don't get to do that stuff back in hell.

00:49:04.889 --> 00:49:08.677
You're not hearing me?

00:49:08.677 --> 00:49:11.485
Oh, we're the God.

00:49:11.485 --> 00:49:12.208
We just you know.

00:49:12.208 --> 00:49:13.268
People just cast them out.

00:49:13.268 --> 00:49:15.632
They never did figure out where they were going to go.

00:49:15.632 --> 00:49:19.699
What's wrong with you?

00:49:19.699 --> 00:49:27.800
I've seen them in meetings jump out of one person and into another.

00:49:27.800 --> 00:49:31.757
I said what are you going to do that for?

00:49:31.757 --> 00:49:32.139
Get rid of them.

00:49:32.139 --> 00:49:35.438
That's like taking prisoners and warning and saying, okay, be good boys and go away.

00:49:35.438 --> 00:49:37.925
You know, that's like taking prisoners in war and saying, okay, be good boys and go away.

00:49:40.302 --> 00:49:41.867
Glory to God, praise the name of the Lord.

00:49:41.867 --> 00:50:04.333
There is a greater, far greater authority of glory that God wants to work in us and he's given us some helpers, and they're not angels, they're troubles, they're afflictions, they're persecutions, tribulations.

00:50:04.333 --> 00:50:07.909
Bible says they work.

00:50:07.909 --> 00:50:10.476
Patience and character and hope.

00:50:10.476 --> 00:50:12.389
What kind of hope.

00:50:12.389 --> 00:50:13.413
The hope of glory.

00:50:13.413 --> 00:50:17.376
Oh, I wish I could preach Glory to God.

00:50:17.376 --> 00:50:25.356
It'll change the way things seem to you.

00:50:25.356 --> 00:50:31.675
Amen, praise God, let's stand.
