Christine Caine | The Best Work Part 3 | June 22, 2022
- - SO MANY CHRISTIANS, I'M UTTERLY CONVINCED
- 00:00:00.323 --> 00:00:03.126
- ARE BORED WITH THEIR CHRISTIANITY.
- 00:00:03.126 --> 00:00:05.195
- BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT DOING THE GOOD WORKS
- 00:00:05.195 --> 00:00:06.663
- THAT GOD PUT THEM ON THE PLANET TO DO.
- 00:00:06.663 --> 00:00:09.099
- AND I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND, I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME,
- 00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:11.601
- THAT GOD'S GRACE, THAT SAME GRACE THAT SAVES US,
- 00:00:11.601 --> 00:00:15.505
- GOD'S GRACE ENABLES US TO DO THESE GOOD WORKS
- 00:00:15.505 --> 00:00:19.209
- FROM A PLACE OF REST.
- 00:00:19.209 --> 00:00:20.543
- SEE YOU COULDN'T MAKE THIS UP.
- 00:00:20.543 --> 00:00:21.911
- I COULDN'T BE THIS PUMPED UP 31 YEARS LATER IF IT WAS HYPE.
- 00:00:21.911 --> 00:00:25.315
- IT WOULDN'T BE HYPE, NOT AT THIS STAGE.
- 00:00:25.315 --> 00:00:28.017
- BUT THE FACT THAT I STILL GET UP EVERYDAY
- 00:00:28.017 --> 00:00:29.652
- WITH A LITTLE GLINT IN MY EYE, A SPRING IN MY STEP,
- 00:00:29.652 --> 00:00:32.055
- I JUST THINK CHRISTIANS NEED TO BE NAUGHTY.
- 00:00:32.055 --> 00:00:33.857
- NOT ILLEGAL, NOT IMMORAL, NOT HERETICAL, JUST NAUGHTY.
- 00:00:33.857 --> 00:00:36.860
- THERE OUGHTA BE SOMETHING ABOUT US
- 00:00:36.860 --> 00:00:38.528
- WHERE PEOPLE ARE LIKE I WANT WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
- 00:00:38.528 --> 00:00:40.396
- [CONGREGATION LAUGHING]
- 00:00:40.396 --> 00:00:41.831
- YOU ARE THE MASTERPIECE OF A MAGNIFICENT GOD.
- 00:00:41.831 --> 00:00:45.068
- AND YOU ARE CALLED TO BE JUST LIKE HIM, ON THE EARTH,
- 00:00:45.068 --> 00:00:48.204
- TO BE A CARRIER OF HIS LOVE, HIS HOPE,
- 00:00:48.204 --> 00:00:51.007
- AND FREEDOM, AND JUSTICE.
- 00:00:51.007 --> 00:00:53.042
- IT SOUNDS AWESOME, BUT WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE
- 00:00:53.042 --> 00:00:56.312
- ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS?
- 00:00:56.312 --> 00:00:58.181
- HOW DO YOU MAKE THAT A REALITY?
- 00:00:58.181 --> 00:00:59.949
- WELL TODAY, WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT.
- 00:00:59.949 --> 00:01:02.118
- I'M CHRISTINE CAINE AND I HAVE A PERSONAL MISSION
- 00:01:02.118 --> 00:01:05.121
- TO "EQUIP & EMPOWER" PEOPLE LIKE YOU
- 00:01:05.121 --> 00:01:07.724
- TO CONNECT WITH YOUR GOD GIVEN PURPOSE AND POTENTIAL.
- 00:01:07.724 --> 00:01:10.660
- I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE JOINING US TODAY.
- 00:01:10.660 --> 00:01:12.929
- LET'S GET RIGHT INTO THE WORD.
- 00:01:12.929 --> 00:01:14.264
- [INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC]
- 00:01:14.264 --> 00:01:24.174
- [CONGREGATION APPLAUDING AND CHEERING]
- 00:01:24.174 --> 00:01:27.076
- HEY, HEY EVERYONE, I AM SO EXCITED THAT YOU ARE HERE TODAY.
- 00:01:27.076 --> 00:01:32.682
- WE'RE TALKING AROUND THE THEME
- 00:01:32.682 --> 00:01:34.184
- THAT YOU AND I HAVE BEEN INVITED BY THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE
- 00:01:34.184 --> 00:01:38.922
- TO BE CO-WORKERS WITH HIM IN HIS HARVEST FIELD.
- 00:01:38.922 --> 00:01:42.292
- I MEAN OUT OF ANY JOB PROFILE
- 00:01:42.292 --> 00:01:44.827
- THAT WE COULD HAVE ON THE PLANET,
- 00:01:44.827 --> 00:01:46.396
- THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAN BEING A CO-WORKER WITH GOD,
- 00:01:46.396 --> 00:01:49.899
- THE ULTIMATE CREATOR, AND THE ULTIMATE WORKER,
- 00:01:49.899 --> 00:01:52.702
- WHO SAYS I'M GONNA INVITE YOU IN TO CO-WORK
- 00:01:52.702 --> 00:01:55.605
- AND CO-LABOR WITH ME INTO THE HARVEST FIELD.
- 00:01:55.605 --> 00:01:59.576
- AND THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT YOU AND I
- 00:01:59.576 --> 00:02:03.012
- CANNOT DOWNLOAD AN APP FOR WORK.
- 00:02:03.012 --> 00:02:06.616
- I KNOW WE REALLY WISH WE COULD,
- 00:02:06.616 --> 00:02:08.151
- LIKE I WANNA GO TO WORK TODAY SO I'M GONNA DOWNLOAD AN APP,
- 00:02:08.151 --> 00:02:10.787
- AWESOME, JUST WORKED EIGHT HOURS WITH A DOWNLOAD.
- 00:02:10.787 --> 00:02:12.922
- [CONGREGATION LAUGHING]
- 00:02:12.922 --> 00:02:13.890
- BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL USED TO.
- 00:02:13.890 --> 00:02:15.258
- BUT WHAT WE ARE DOING IS ACTUALLY THEN
- 00:02:15.258 --> 00:02:17.460
- JUST DENYING OURSELVES THE PRIVILEGE
- 00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:19.796
- OF DOING THE THING FOR WHICH WE WERE CREATED TO DO.
- 00:02:19.796 --> 00:02:22.165
- YOU AND I HAVE BEEN SAVED BY GRACE, THE BIBLE SAYS
- 00:02:22.165 --> 00:02:24.400
- IN EPHESIANS 2:8, FOR GOOD WORKS, WE ARE GOD'S WORKMANSHIP.
- 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:29.005
- GOD MADE US OUT OF THE DUST, HE DIDN'T HAVE TO,
- 00:02:29.005 --> 00:02:31.140
- HE COULD'VE JUST GONE THERE IT IS, AND THERE WE WERE.
- 00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:34.143
- BUT ACTUALLY BENT DOWN AND MADE US, GOD WORKED.
- 00:02:34.143 --> 00:02:38.114
- WE ARE HIS WORK MAN SHIP, CREATED FOR GOOD WORKS,
- 00:02:38.114 --> 00:02:42.685
- AND I THINK THIS IS WHERE MANY OF US HAVE MISSED IT.
- 00:02:42.685 --> 00:02:44.821
- WE HAVEN'T KNOWN WHAT WE WERE CREATED FOR.
- 00:02:44.821 --> 00:02:47.790
- AND WE WERE CREATED FOR GOOD WORKS.
- 00:02:47.790 --> 00:02:49.892
- CHRISTIANS OUGHT TO BE DOING GOOD WORKS ON THE EARTH,
- 00:02:49.892 --> 00:02:53.263
- THAT'S WHAT WE WERE CREATED TO DO.
- 00:02:53.263 --> 00:02:54.831
- WE WERE CREATED FOR GOOD WORKS.
- 00:02:54.831 --> 00:02:56.532
- SO IF YOU'RE NOT ABOUT THE FATHER'S BUSINESS
- 00:02:56.532 --> 00:02:58.301
- DOING GOOD WORKS, YOU'RE NOT DOING
- 00:02:58.301 --> 00:02:59.902
- WHAT YOU WERE CREATED TO DO, SO YOU MIGHT BE RICH,
- 00:02:59.902 --> 00:03:02.405
- BUT YOU'RE NOT ULTIMATELY HAPPY.
- 00:03:02.405 --> 00:03:03.973
- YOU MIGHT BE GETTING THROUGH A DAY,
- 00:03:03.973 --> 00:03:05.908
- BUT YOU'RE NOT ULTIMATELY SATISFIED.
- 00:03:05.908 --> 00:03:07.677
- YOU WILL ONLY ULTIMATELY BE SATISFIED
- 00:03:07.677 --> 00:03:09.979
- WHEN YOU GET IN SYNC WITH THE GOOD WORKS
- 00:03:09.979 --> 00:03:12.148
- THAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO.
- 00:03:12.148 --> 00:03:13.916
- YOU AND I HAVE BEEN CALLED TO DO GOOD WORKS.
- 00:03:13.916 --> 00:03:17.053
- AND SO THE FACT IS, YOU KNOW, I'M INVOLVED
- 00:03:17.053 --> 00:03:19.422
- IN HELPING TO RESCUE THE VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING,
- 00:03:19.422 --> 00:03:21.624
- AND WE CANNOT STOP BAD PEOPLE FROM DOING BAD.
- 00:03:21.624 --> 00:03:26.929
- BUT I BELIEVE THE HOUR IS URGENT
- 00:03:26.929 --> 00:03:28.731
- WHEN WE'VE GOTTA START ACTIVATING GOOD
- 00:03:28.731 --> 00:03:32.201
- BECAUSE IF WE ARE GOING TO SEE THIS WORLD CHANGED,
- 00:03:32.201 --> 00:03:36.205
- THEN GOOD PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO START DOING GOOD THINGS.
- 00:03:36.205 --> 00:03:39.275
- THERE'S NO POINT JUST SITTING BACK,
- 00:03:39.275 --> 00:03:41.044
- WISHING THINGS WERE BETTER, HOPING THINGS WERE BETTER,
- 00:03:41.044 --> 00:03:44.180
- WISHING SOMEBODY WOULD DO SOMETHING.
- 00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:46.449
- YOU ARE THE SOMEBODY, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.
- 00:03:46.449 --> 00:03:48.851
- WE ARE WHO WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
- 00:03:48.851 --> 00:03:50.753
- THERE IS NO CALVARY COMING.
- 00:03:50.753 --> 00:03:53.056
- WE ARE THE CALVARY THAT'S BEEN SENT.
- 00:03:53.056 --> 00:03:55.124
- PRAY TO THE LORD OF THE HARVEST TO SEND FORTH WORKERS
- 00:03:55.124 --> 00:03:58.795
- INTO THE HARVEST, WE ARE THE ANSWER TO OUR PRAYER.
- 00:03:58.795 --> 00:04:03.099
- NOT SOMEBODY THAT'S MORE GIFTED THAN YOU,
- 00:04:03.099 --> 00:04:04.801
- MORE TALENTED THAN YOU, GOT IT MORE TOGETHER THAN YOU,
- 00:04:04.801 --> 00:04:07.637
- MORE ACCOMPLISHED THAN YOU.
- 00:04:07.637 --> 00:04:09.005
- WE'RE IT, THERE IS NO PLAN B.
- 00:04:09.005 --> 00:04:12.742
- FOR 2.000 YEARS, JESUS HAS BEEN SAYING
- 00:04:12.742 --> 00:04:15.345
- THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL, IT'S THERE.
- 00:04:15.345 --> 00:04:18.915
- BUT THE WORKERS ARE FEW.
- 00:04:18.915 --> 00:04:21.984
- THESE PEOPLE THAT I CREATED TO DO GOOD WORKS,
- 00:04:21.984 --> 00:04:26.422
- WHERE ARE THEY?
- 00:04:26.422 --> 00:04:29.592
- WATCHING REALITY TV?
- 00:04:28.624 --> 00:04:31.961
- SERIOUSLY SWEETHEART, IF YOU GOT A REAL LIFE,
- 00:04:31.961 --> 00:04:34.163
- YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO WATCH EVERYBODY ELSE'S LIVES,
- 00:04:34.163 --> 00:04:36.099
- SO JUST GET A LIFE.
- 00:04:36.099 --> 00:04:37.734
- [CONGREGATION LAUGHING]
- 00:04:37.734 --> 00:04:39.302
- THERE'S GOOD WORKS THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.
- 00:04:39.302 --> 00:04:42.739
- AND THE FACT IS THAT JUST BECAUSE AN ACT OF GOOD WORK
- 00:04:42.739 --> 00:04:47.176
- WON'T FIX THE WHOLE PROBLEM,
- 00:04:47.176 --> 00:04:49.645
- DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULDN'T DO IT.
- 00:04:49.645 --> 00:04:51.881
- IMAGINE IF I THOUGHT, WELL YOU KNOW WHAT,
- 00:04:51.881 --> 00:04:53.549
- JUST BECAUSE WE RESCUED ONE VICTIM,
- 00:04:53.549 --> 00:04:55.284
- WELL WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER 30 MILLION?
- 00:04:55.284 --> 00:04:57.553
- WELL OF COURSE YOU WOULD NEVER DEVALUE
- 00:04:57.553 --> 00:04:58.955
- THE ONE VICTIM WITH THAT,
- 00:04:58.955 --> 00:05:00.990
- SO WHY WOULD WE NOT THINK MY LITTLE BIT OF GOOD
- 00:05:00.990 --> 00:05:03.726
- WON'T MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE?
- 00:05:03.726 --> 00:05:05.428
- A LITTLE BIT OF GOOD DOES.
- 00:05:05.428 --> 00:05:06.896
- JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GIVE EVERYTHING
- 00:05:06.896 --> 00:05:08.331
- DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T GIVE SOMETHING.
- 00:05:08.331 --> 00:05:10.166
- WE CAN ALL DO SOMETHING AND NONE OF US CAN DO EVERYTHING,
- 00:05:10.166 --> 00:05:13.002
- SO GOD HAS MADE IT SO THAT ALL OF US WILL OUR LITTLE BIT.
- 00:05:13.002 --> 00:05:18.241
- GOD NEVER ASKS YOU TO DO WHAT YOU CAN'T DO.
- 00:05:18.241 --> 00:05:20.810
- HE ONLY ASKS YOU TO DO WHAT YOU CAN DO.
- 00:05:20.810 --> 00:05:24.013
- SO WHAT ARE GOOD WORKS, ACCORDING TO GOD?
- 00:05:24.013 --> 00:05:26.349
- MICAH 6:8 IT SHOWS US, HE HAS TOLD YOU, O MAN, WHAT IS GOOD.
- 00:05:26.349 --> 00:05:31.854
- HOW'S THAT?
- 00:05:31.854 --> 00:05:32.989
- MICAH'S LIKE UH, LET ME JUST TELL YOU,
- 00:05:32.989 --> 00:05:34.891
- GOD'S ALREADY TOLD YOU.
- 00:05:34.891 --> 00:05:36.993
- WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT DOES THE LORD REQUIRE OF YOU,
- 00:05:36.993 --> 00:05:40.329
- BUT TO DO JUSTICE, HERE'S THE GOOD WORKS,
- 00:05:40.329 --> 00:05:43.733
- TO LOVE KINDNESS, AND TO WALK HUMBLY WITH YOUR GOD.
- 00:05:43.733 --> 00:05:48.171
- YOU KNOW ALL THIS STUFF THAT WE COMPLICATE?
- 00:05:48.171 --> 00:05:50.606
- IT'S NOT COMPLICATED.
- 00:05:50.606 --> 00:05:52.008
- DO JUSTICE, LOVE KINDNESS AND WALK HUMBLY WITH YOUR GOD.
- 00:05:52.008 --> 00:05:57.580
- DO YOU REALIZE HOW WE COULD CHANGE THE FACE OF THE EARTH
- 00:05:57.580 --> 00:06:00.683
- IF ALMOST TWO BILLION CHRISTIANS SIMPLY DID JUSTICE,
- 00:06:00.683 --> 00:06:05.488
- LOVED KINDNESS, AND WALKED HUMBLY WITH OUR GOD?
- 00:06:05.488 --> 00:06:09.058
- IT IS THAT SIMPLE, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY FIGHTS WOULD STOP?
- 00:06:09.058 --> 00:06:13.629
- HOW MUCH COMPARISON AND COMPETITION,
- 00:06:13.629 --> 00:06:16.299
- AND ANGER, AND LUST, AND GREED, AND ENVY.
- 00:06:16.299 --> 00:06:19.502
- SO MANY OF THE AILMENTS OF OUR SOCIETY WOULD END
- 00:06:19.502 --> 00:06:23.506
- IF WE, AS CHRISTIANS, DID WHAT THE PROPHET MICAH SAID,
- 00:06:23.506 --> 00:06:26.609
- DO JUSTICE, LOVE MERCY, AND WALK HUMBLY WITH OUR GOD.
- 00:06:26.609 --> 00:06:31.647
- WHEN WE SEE THE BEAUTY OF GOD'S GRACE REFLECTED IN CHRIST,
- 00:06:31.647 --> 00:06:36.886
- YOU CAN'T HELP BUT WANT TO DO JUSTICE ON THE EARTH.
- 00:06:36.886 --> 00:06:40.122
- YOU CAN'T HELP IT.
- 00:06:40.122 --> 00:06:41.357
- IT IS A BYPRODUCT AND IT SHOULD FLOW OUT OF THE BEAUTY
- 00:06:41.357 --> 00:06:45.495
- OF KNOWING JESUS CHRIST.
- 00:06:45.495 --> 00:06:47.563
- CHRISTIANS WERE CREATED TO DO THE WORK OF JUSTICE,
- 00:06:47.563 --> 00:06:50.533
- NOT JUST SOME, BUT ALL OF US,
- 00:06:50.533 --> 00:06:52.668
- WE WERE CREATED TO DO THE WORK OF JUSTICE,
- 00:06:52.668 --> 00:06:54.837
- AND THE TRUTH IS, IT'S NOT EASY.
- 00:06:54.837 --> 00:06:56.772
- IT'S WORK, IT'S NOT COMFORTABLE.
- 00:06:56.772 --> 00:06:59.275
- IT'S WORK, IT'S NOT CONVENIENT, IT'S WORK.
- 00:06:59.275 --> 00:07:03.312
- BUT THE WORLD WOULD START TO PAY ATTENTION
- 00:07:03.312 --> 00:07:05.748
- TO WHAT WE SAY ABOUT CHRIST,
- 00:07:05.748 --> 00:07:08.584
- IF WE ACTUALLY LIVED WHAT WE BELIEVED.
- 00:07:08.584 --> 00:07:11.621
- AND THERE COMES A TIME WHERE YOU'VE GOTTA STOP
- 00:07:11.621 --> 00:07:13.456
- JUST TALKING ABOUT IT, AND YOU MUST START DOING IT.
- 00:07:13.456 --> 00:07:16.792
- COULD YOU IMAGINE IF WE CHRISTIANS LOVED PEOPLE
- 00:07:16.792 --> 00:07:18.928
- MORE THAN ANYONE?
- 00:07:18.928 --> 00:07:20.263
- IF WE WORKED PROACTIVELY FOR RECONCILIATION?
- 00:07:20.263 --> 00:07:25.034
- IF WE WEREN'T THE PERPETRATORS OF RACISM AND MISOGYNY,
- 00:07:25.034 --> 00:07:29.906
- AND MARGINALIZING PEOPLE, AND OPPRESSING PEOPLE?
- 00:07:29.906 --> 00:07:32.608
- IF WE DIDN'T OTHER PEOPLE, BUT WE UNDERSTOOD EVERYONE
- 00:07:32.608 --> 00:07:36.512
- WAS AN IMAGE BEARER, CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD,
- 00:07:36.512 --> 00:07:39.715
- AND IS WORTHY OF GOD GIVEN DIGNITY,
- 00:07:39.715 --> 00:07:42.618
- AND IS WORTHY OF GOD GIVEN VALUE?
- 00:07:42.618 --> 00:07:45.655
- YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN CONVICTIONS.
- 00:07:45.655 --> 00:07:48.424
- BUT WE NEED TO BE FUELED BY COMPASSION,
- 00:07:48.424 --> 00:07:51.060
- AND TO LOVE EVERYONE.
- 00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:53.229
- TO LOVE EVERYONE, AND TO DO THE WORK OF JUSTICE,
- 00:07:53.229 --> 00:07:57.633
- SO THAT WE CAN STAND UP FOR THE RIGHTS
- 00:07:57.633 --> 00:07:59.902
- OF THE POOR AND THE MARGINALIZED,
- 00:07:59.902 --> 00:08:01.470
- AND THE OPPRESSED, AND THE DISENFRANCHISED.
- 00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:04.473
- IT'S ULTIMATELY WHY I STARTED THE WORK OF A21.
- 00:08:04.473 --> 00:08:07.743
- GOD LOVES HUMANITY, FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD.
- 00:08:07.743 --> 00:08:13.015
- AND SO WE'RE CALLED TO DO JUSTICE.
- 00:08:13.015 --> 00:08:15.351
- WE BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE IS AN IMAGE BEARER OF GOD,
- 00:08:15.351 --> 00:08:19.488
- THEREFORE THAT'S A GOOD WORK, THAT IS A GOOD.
- 00:08:19.488 --> 00:08:21.891
- WE CANNOT JUST BE SILENT AND INDIFFERENT,

- AND PRETEND THAT THE REST OF THE PLANET DOES NOT EXIST.
- 00:08:24.594 --> 00:08:27.463
- IT IS OUR JOB TO BE ABOUT THE FATHER'S BUSINESS,
- 00:08:27.463 --> 00:08:31.233
- AND TO LOVE HUMANITY, BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS
- 00:08:31.233 --> 00:08:34.103
- THAT JUSTICE REFLECTS THE CHARACTER OF GOD,
- 00:08:34.103 --> 00:08:36.072
- GOD IS A GOD OF JUSTICE.
- 00:08:36.072 --> 00:08:38.407
- AND IF WE WANNA REFLECT THE CHARACTER OF GOD,
- 00:08:38.407 --> 00:08:40.843
- TO OUR GENERATION, IN OUR WORLD,
- 00:08:40.843 --> 00:08:43.245
- THEN YOU AND I NEED TO BE ADVOCATES

- TO LOOSE THE BONDS OF WICKEDNESS,
- 00:08:55.958 --> 00:08:58.060
- TO UNDO THE STRAPS OF THE YOKE,
- 00:08:58.060 --> 00:09:00.796
- TO LET THE OPPRESSED GO FREE, AND TO BREAK EVERY YOKE?
- 00:09:00.796 --> 00:09:05.401
- IS IT NOT TO SHARE YOUR BREAD WITH THE HUNGRY,
- 00:09:05.401 --> 00:09:09.038
- AND BRING THE HOMELESS POOR INTO YOUR HOUSE,
- 00:09:09.038 --> 00:09:12.241
- WHEN YOU SEE THE NAKED, TO COVER HIM,
- 00:09:12.241 --> 00:09:14.610
- AND NOT TO HIDE YOURSELF FROM YOUR OWN FLESH?
- 00:09:14.610 --> 00:09:17.813
- IS THIS NOT THE FAST THAT I CHOOSE?
- 00:09:17.813 --> 00:09:21.083
- DEUTERONOMY 15:7-11, IF AMONG YOU, ONE OF YOUR BROTHERS
- 00:09:21.083 --> 00:09:24.987
- SHOULD BECOME POOR, IN ANY OF YOUR TOWNS,
- 00:09:24.987 --> 00:09:27.923
- WITHIN YOUR LAND THAT THE LORD YOUR GOD IS GIVING YOU,
- 00:09:27.923 --> 00:09:30.926
- YOU SHALL NOT HARDEN YOUR HEART OR SHUT YOUR HAND
- 00:09:30.926 --> 00:09:34.530
- AGAINST YOUR POOR BROTHER.
- 00:09:34.530 --> 00:09:35.998
- BUT YOU SHALL OPEN YOUR HAND TO HIM,
- 00:09:35.998 --> 00:09:38.000
- AND LEND HIM SUFFICIENT FOR HIS NEED, WHATEVER IT MAY BE.
- 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:42.071
- TAKE CARE, LEST THERE BE AN UNWORTHY THOUGHT
- 00:09:42.071 --> 00:09:45.307
- IN YOUR HEART, AND YOU SAY THE 7TH YEAR,

- THE YEAR OF RELEASE IS NEAR,
- 00:09:47.910 --> 00:09:49.412
- AND YOUR EYE LOOK GRUDGINGLY ON YOUR POOR BROTHER,
- 00:09:49.412 --> 00:09:52.448
- AND YOU GIVE HIM NOTHING,
- 00:09:52.448 --> 00:09:53.916
- AND HE CRY TO THE LORD AGAINST YOU,
- 00:09:53.916 --> 00:09:55.618
- AND YOU BE GUILTY OF SIN.
- 00:09:55.618 --> 00:09:57.219
- YOU SHALL GIVE TO HIM FREELY,
- 00:09:57.219 --> 00:09:59.121
- AND YOUR HEART SHALL NOT BE GRUDGING WHEN YOU GIVE TO HIM,
- 00:09:59.121 --> 00:10:02.658
- BECAUSE FOR THIS THE LORD YOUR GOD WILL BLESS YOU,
- 00:10:02.658 --> 00:10:05.728
- IN ALL YOUR WORK, AND IN ALL THAT YOU UNDERTAKE,
- 00:10:05.728 --> 00:10:08.798
- FOR THERE WILL NEVER CEASE TO BE A POOR IN THE LAND.
- 00:10:08.798 --> 00:10:11.667
- THEREFORE I COMMAND YOU, YOU SHALL OPEN WIDE YOUR HAND
- 00:10:11.667 --> 00:10:15.137
- TO YOUR BROTHER, TO THE NEEDY,
- 00:10:15.137 --> 00:10:16.972

- THERE IT IS, RIGHT THERE IN SCRIPTURE.
- 00:10:18.974 --> 00:10:21.544
- THAT WE ARE CALLED TO DO JUSTICE.
- 00:10:21.544 --> 00:10:24.246
- SO GOD HIMSELF, OLD TESTAMENT HAS TOLD US
- 00:10:24.246 --> 00:10:28.084
- THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO THE WORK OF JUSTICE.
- 00:10:28.084 --> 00:10:31.420
- JESUS LOVES THE POOR AND THE MARGINALIZED.
- 00:10:31.420 --> 00:10:34.457
- WE SEE IT THROUGHOUT THE GOSPELS,
- 00:10:34.457 --> 00:10:36.959
- THAT OUR JOB AS FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST
- 00:10:36.959 --> 00:10:39.995
- IS TO REFLECT THE WORK OF JESUS CHRIST ON THIS EARTH,
- 00:10:39.995 --> 00:10:43.299
- TO DO THE GOOD WORKS THAT HE DID.
- 00:10:43.299 --> 00:10:46.135
- AND HE LOVES THE POOR AND THE OUTCAST.
- 00:10:46.135 --> 00:10:48.437
- WHEN HE, THE INAUGURATION OF HIS MINISTRY,
- 00:10:48.437 --> 00:10:51.507
- IN LUKE 4, WAS WHEN HE READ FROM THE PROPHET ISAIAH,
- 00:10:51.507 --> 00:10:55.845
- HE READ FROM THE SCROLL, HE OPENED THE SCROLL,
- 00:10:55.845 --> 00:10:57.780
- AND HE SAYS, AND THE SCROLL OF THE PROPHET ISAIAH
- 00:10:57.780 --> 00:10:59.348
- WAS GIVEN TO HIM, HE UNROLLED THE SCROLL
- 00:10:59.348 --> 00:11:01.617
- AND FOUND THE PLACE WHERE IT IS WRITTEN.

- 00:16:41.857 --> 00:16:44.960
- THE TEMPLE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US.
- 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:46.795
- OR THAT OUR FRIENDSHIPS DON'T FLOURISH.
- 00:16:46.795 --> 00:16:48.397
- I DON'T CARRY THE BURDEN OF WHAT I DON'T NEED TO CARRY.
- 00:16:48.397 --> 00:16:52.367
- AND SO I HAVE TO KEEP GETTING BETTER AT STREAMLINING.
- 00:16:52.367 --> 00:16:55.104
- BUT HIS BURDEN IS EASY, AND HIS YOKE IS LIGHT.
- 00:16:55.104 --> 00:16:57.873
- SO TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I MEAN THERE ARE SOME TIMES
- 00:16:57.873 --> 00:17:00.642
- I COME UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE, BUT MOSTLY,
- 00:17:00.642 --> 00:17:03.912
- I DON'T CARRY THAT, I'VE LEARNED TO TAKE IT OFF MY SHOULDERS
- 00:17:03.912 --> 00:17:06.982
- AND DROP IT ONTO JESUS, 'CAUSE HIS BURDEN IS EASY.
- 00:17:06.982 --> 00:17:09.218
- AND THIS IS HOW I KNOW I'M OUT OF BALANCE,
- 00:17:09.218 --> 00:17:12.554
- WHEN THE BURDEN IS HEAVY, AND THE YOKE IS HEAVY,
- 00:17:12.554 --> 00:17:16.291
- AND I'M LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING OFF IN THIS.
- 00:17:16.291 --> 00:17:18.227
- I'M CARRYING SOMETHING I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CARRYING.
- 00:17:18.227 --> 00:17:20.362
- I'M WORRYING ABOUT SOMETHING
- 00:17:20.362 --> 00:17:21.530
- I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE WORRYING ABOUT.
- 00:17:21.530 --> 00:17:23.132
- AND THERE IS THE PEACE OF GOD, THE BIBLE SAYS,
- 00:17:23.132 --> 00:17:25.501
- THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT, HE BRINGS US A PEACE,
- 00:17:25.501 --> 00:17:28.203
- HE'S OUT UMPIRE, AND THEN SOMETIMES I'M LIKE
- 00:17:28.203 --> 00:17:30.606
- IF I DON'T, IF THERE'S SOMETHING OFF HERE,
- 00:17:30.606 --> 00:17:32.741
- AND MOST OF THE TIMES IT'S BECAUSE I'VE CROSSED OVER
- 00:17:32.741 --> 00:17:35.043
- INTO PEOPLE PLEASING, INSTEAD OF GOD PLEASING,
- 00:17:35.043 --> 00:17:37.179
- AND I'M TRYING TO DO SOMETHING EVERYONE WANTS ME TO DO
- 00:17:37.179 --> 00:17:39.882
- RATHER THAN WHAT GOD WANTS ME TO DO.
- 00:17:39.882 --> 00:17:41.049
- I'M THINKING THIS WEEK ALONE,
- 00:17:41.049 --> 00:17:42.651
- YOU KNOW, I HAD A BIG WEEK OF TV TAPING,
- 00:17:42.651 --> 00:17:44.419
- THIS WEEK ALONE, I'VE HAD 11 PEOPLE ASK ME
- 00:17:44.419 --> 00:17:49.224
- TO ENDORSE THEIR BOOK, AND IT IS AWESOME,
- 00:17:49.224 --> 00:17:52.094
- AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY DOZENS I HAVE,
- 00:17:52.094 --> 00:17:54.096
- BECAUSE I'VE DONE A LOT.
- 00:17:54.096 --> 00:17:55.564
- BUT THE POINT IS THAT NOWADAYS, UNLESS I READ THE BOOK,
- 00:17:55.564 --> 00:17:59.568
- AND I KNOW WHAT THE CONTENT OF THE BOOK IS,
- 00:17:59.568 --> 00:18:01.537
- I DON'T WANNA ENDORSE SOMETHING
- 00:18:01.537 --> 00:18:03.272
- THAT I MAY OR MAY NOT AGREE WITH, EVEN IF I LOVE THE PERSON,
- 00:18:03.272 --> 00:18:05.307
- I MAY NOT AGREE WITH THE CONTENT.
- 00:18:05.307 --> 00:18:06.808
- BUT I DON'T, I DID NOT PHYSICALLY HAVE,
- 00:18:06.808 --> 00:18:09.711
- AND I HAVE TO HAVE THEM ALL READ BY LIKE NEXT WEEK,
- 00:18:09.711 --> 00:18:11.747
- I DID NOT PHYSICALLY HAVE THE TIME
- 00:18:11.747 --> 00:18:13.182
- TO BE ABLE TO PREPARE THESE MESSAGES,
- 00:18:13.182 --> 00:18:15.517
- TO BE ABLE TO READ 11 BOOKS TO ENDORSE,
- 00:18:15.517 --> 00:18:18.587
- AS WELL AS TO STUDY FOR MY OWN MASTERS DEGREE,
- 00:18:18.587 --> 00:18:22.357
- AS WELL AS FINISH EDITING MY OWN BOOK,
- 00:18:22.357 --> 00:18:25.394
- AS WELL AS BE REMOTELY NICE TO MY HUSBAND,
- 00:18:25.394 --> 00:18:27.763
- AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAD CHILDREN,
- 00:18:27.763 --> 00:18:29.898
- IT'S NOT POSSIBLE. [CONGREGATION LAUGHING]
- 00:18:29.898 --> 00:18:31.767
- SO I COULD TAKE A BURDEN ON MY SHOULDER,
- 00:18:31.767 --> 00:18:34.503
- OR I COULD SAY I'M ABOUT TO DISAPPOINT 11 PEOPLE,
- 00:18:34.503 --> 00:18:37.573
- WHICH I DID, I'M ABOUT TO DISAPPOINT THEM,
- 00:18:37.573 --> 00:18:40.442
- AND IF THEY TRULY LOVE ME, THEY'RE GONNA UNDERSTAND.
- 00:18:40.442 --> 00:18:44.313
- BUT SOME OF THEM WON'T BECAUSE THEY CARE MORE
- 00:18:44.313 --> 00:18:46.448
- ABOUT WHAT I CAN DO FOR THEM,
- 00:18:46.448 --> 00:18:47.616
- THAN WHERE I'M AT IN THIS POINT,
- 00:18:47.616 --> 00:18:48.817
- SO I HAVE TO BE WILLING TO BE MISUNDERSTOOD.
- 00:18:48.817 --> 00:18:51.320
- I HAVE TO BE WILLING FOR SOME PEOPLE TO GO,
- 00:18:51.320 --> 00:18:53.155
- "SHE JUST THINKS SHE'S TOO BIG NOW."
- 00:18:53.155 --> 00:18:55.023
- AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS.
- 00:18:55.023 --> 00:18:57.960
- BUT I'M NOT WILLING TO TAKE ON A BURDEN
- 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:00.829
- THAT IS NOT MINE TO CARRY,
- 00:19:00.829 --> 00:19:02.864
- BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT WILL CRUSH ME,
- 00:19:02.864 --> 00:19:04.633
- AND I WON'T END UP DOING THE THING
- 00:19:04.633 --> 00:19:06.201
- THAT GOD'S PUT ME ON THE EARTH TO DO.
- 00:19:06.201 --> 00:19:08.170
- AND SO HIS BURDEN IS EASY, HIS YOKE IS LIGHT.
- 00:19:08.170 --> 00:19:11.707
- AND THE FACT IS THAT HIS SPIRIT FUELS ME TO DO HIS WILL,
- 00:19:11.707 --> 00:19:15.043
- HIS SPIRIT GIVES ME STRENGTH.
- 00:19:15.043 --> 00:19:17.479
- ANY GOOD WORK I DO ORIGINATES IN GOD.
- 00:19:17.479 --> 00:19:20.315
- LET ME JUST GO ON AIR TO SAY THIS,
- 00:19:20.315 --> 00:19:22.884
- 'CAUSE THERE'S A LOTTA PEOPLE OUT THERE
- 00:19:22.884 --> 00:19:24.820
- THAT ARE JUST SAYING YOU KNOW, JUST DO GOOD,
- 00:19:24.820 --> 00:19:26.722
- JUST DO RANDOM ACTS OF, I NEED YOU TO KNOW, GOD IS GOOD,
- 00:19:26.722 --> 00:19:29.992
- PSALM 119 SAYS, AND GOD DOES GOOD.
- 00:19:29.992 --> 00:19:33.061
- GOD ALONE IS GOOD, ANYTHING GOOD THAT I DO,
- 00:19:33.061 --> 00:19:36.932
- HONESTLY, IT ORIGINATES FROM GOD,
- 00:19:36.932 --> 00:19:38.967
- BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ON THE INSIDE OF,
- 00:19:38.967 --> 00:19:42.070
- I KNOW ME, I KNOW ME.
- 00:19:42.070 --> 00:19:44.106
- I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT GOODNESS
- 00:19:44.106 --> 00:19:45.507
- IS A FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD.
- 00:19:45.507 --> 00:19:47.809
- GOODNESS IS PART OF AN ATTRIBUTE OF GOD.
- 00:19:47.809 --> 00:19:50.512
- GOODNESS DOES NOT ORIGINATE IN MANKIND.
- 00:19:50.512 --> 00:19:53.649
- GOODNESS DOES NOT ORIGINATE IN ME, IT ORIGINATES FROM GOD,
- 00:19:53.649 --> 00:19:57.886
- IT IS A FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD,
- 00:19:57.886 --> 00:20:00.055
- SO ANY GOOD WORKS WE DO ON EARTH WILL GIVE GLORY TO GOD,
- 00:20:00.055 --> 00:20:03.859
- BECAUSE IT WAS ORIGINATED BY HIM, SUSTAINED BY HIM,
- 00:20:03.859 --> 00:20:06.662
- AND IT WAS FOR HIS GLORY.
- 00:20:06.662 --> 00:20:08.897
- WHEN YOU KNOW THAT, YOU GET ABOUT THE FATHER'S BUSINESS,
- 00:20:08.897 --> 00:20:11.833
- AND YOU GO THANK YOU FATHER. [CONGREGATION APPLAUDING]
- 00:20:11.833 --> 00:20:14.236
- THANK YOU FATHER THAT I GET TO DO THAT.
- 00:20:14.236 --> 00:20:18.273
- SO GALATIANS 6:9 SAYS LET US NOT GROW WEARY IN DOING GOOD,
- 00:20:18.273 --> 00:20:22.978
- FOR IN DUE SEASON WE WILL REAP, IF WE FAINT NOT.
- 00:20:22.978 --> 00:20:26.682
- I NEED YOU TO KNOW THE WORK OF DOING GOOD IS NOT EASY.
- 00:20:26.682 --> 00:20:30.686
- IT'S WORK.
- 00:20:30.686 --> 00:20:32.254
- 10 YEARS INTO THE FIGHT AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING,
- 00:20:32.254 --> 00:20:34.756
- IT IS HARD WORK, EVERY TIME WE OPEN A NEW OFFICE,
- 00:20:34.756 --> 00:20:38.193
- EVERY TIME WE SEE SOMEONE, IT'S HARD WORK.
- 00:20:38.193 --> 00:20:41.430
- BUT I'M NOT GIVING UP, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IN DUE SEASON,
- 00:20:41.430 --> 00:20:44.399
- WE WILL REAP IF WE FAINT NOT.
- 00:20:44.399 --> 00:20:46.568
- IT'S HARD WORK TO LOVE THE UNLOVELY,
- 00:20:46.568 --> 00:20:49.371
- HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THAT? [CONGREGATION LAUGHING]
- 00:20:49.371 --> 00:20:51.606
- IT'S HARD WORK TO FORGIVE THE UNFORGIVABLE.
- 00:20:51.606 --> 00:20:55.544
- I'M TALKING ABOUT GOOD WORK NOW,
- 00:20:55.544 --> 00:20:57.079
- THIS IS WHY I'M SAYING IT'S NOT EASY.
- 00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:58.613
- YOU AND I WERE CREATED BY GOD IN ETERNITY
- 00:20:58.613 --> 00:21:00.615
- TO DO THESE GOOD WORKS, BUT JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE GOOD
- 00:21:00.615 --> 00:21:04.286
- DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE EASY.
- 00:21:04.286 --> 00:21:05.987
- IT'S HARD WORK IN OUR SOCIETY TO GIVE INSTEAD OF TAKE.
- 00:21:05.987 --> 00:21:10.425
- IT'S HARD WORK TO SERVE OTHERS, AND NOT BE SERVED.
- 00:21:10.425 --> 00:21:15.130
- IT'S HARD WORK TO BE INTERRUPTED BY GOD TO DO SOMETHING
- 00:21:15.130 --> 00:21:18.900
- WHEN YOU'VE SET YOUR GOAL.
- 00:21:18.900 --> 00:21:21.269
- IT'S HARD WORK TO CHANGE COURSE.
- 00:21:21.269 --> 00:21:23.538
- IT'S HARD WORK TO BE INCONVENIENCED
- 00:21:23.538 --> 00:21:26.508
- IN A WORLD THAT LIVES FOR CONVENIENCE.
- 00:21:26.508 --> 00:21:28.777
- I MEAN IF I CAN'T MICROWAVE IT IN THREE MINUTES AND EAT IT,
- 00:21:28.777 --> 00:21:31.480
- I THINK IT'S ALL TOO SLOW.
- 00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:33.715
- IT'S HARD WORK TO GO WOW, MY LIFE IS GONNA BE INCONVENIENCED
- 00:21:33.715 --> 00:21:36.985
- WHEN I START DOING GOOD WORKS.
- 00:21:36.985 --> 00:21:38.687
- IT'S HARD WORK TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE,
- 00:21:38.687 --> 00:21:42.157
- ESPECIALLY IN A WORLD THAT PURSUES COMFORT AND EASE.
- 00:21:42.157 --> 00:21:45.093
- IT'S HARD WORK TO BE SELFLESS IN A VERY SELFISH WORLD.
- 00:21:45.093 --> 00:21:49.464
- IT'S REALLY HARD WORK.
- 00:21:49.464 --> 00:21:51.433
- IT'S HARD WORK TO BE HONEST WHEN YOU CAN EASILY CHEAT.
- 00:21:51.433 --> 00:21:56.605
- IT'S HARD WORK TO BE MORAL WHEN IMMORALITY IS A CLICK AWAY.
- 00:21:56.605 --> 00:22:02.244
- SO HARD, IT'S HARD WORK TO NOT BE, TO NOT BECOME HARDENED
- 00:22:02.244 --> 00:22:08.750
- OR DESENSITIZED TO NEED, WHEN YOU'RE JUST SWAMPED BY IT
- 00:22:08.750 --> 00:22:14.890
- IN THE MEDIA ALL THE TIME.
- 00:22:14.890 --> 00:22:16.658
- BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, WE CAN DO HARD THINGS.
- 00:22:16.658 --> 00:22:19.895
- WE WERE BORN TO DO HARD THINGS.
- 00:22:19.895 --> 00:22:21.663
- WE ARE GOD'S WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS,
- 00:22:21.663 --> 00:22:24.866
- TO DO GOOD WORKS, MIGHT BE HARD,
- 00:22:24.866 --> 00:22:28.437
- BUT WE WERE CREATED TO DO IT, IT'S IN OUR SPIRITUAL DNA.
- 00:22:28.437 --> 00:22:32.073
- AND LET ME JUST SAY WHEN YOU ARE INFUSED
- 00:22:32.073 --> 00:22:34.910
- WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD, AND THE POWER OF GOD,
- 00:22:34.910 --> 00:22:37.379
- TO DO THE GOOD WORKS THAT GOD PREPARED FOR YOU TO,
- 00:22:37.379 --> 00:22:40.115
- FROM BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF TIME,
- 00:22:40.115 --> 00:22:41.850
- THEN YOU'RE GONNA LOOK BACK AT YOUR LIFE,
- 00:22:41.850 --> 00:22:43.251
- AND YOU'RE GONNA GO TRULY EPHESIANS 3:20 IS TRUE.
- 00:22:43.251 --> 00:22:46.521
- I LOOK AT OUR LIFE AND I GO NOW UNTO HIM WHO IS ABLE
- 00:22:46.521 --> 00:22:49.825
- TO DO EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY, ABOVE AND BEYOND
- 00:22:49.825 --> 00:22:53.628
- ANYTHING THAT WE COULD EVER, EVER ASK, HOPE, OR THINK,
- 00:22:53.628 --> 00:22:56.198
- ACCORDING TO THAT POWER THAT WORKS IN US.
- 00:22:56.198 --> 00:22:58.834
- YOU CAN LIVE YOUR LIFE ON YOUR LEVEL,
- 00:22:58.834 --> 00:23:00.769
- AND DO WHAT ONLY YOU CAN DO,
- 00:23:00.769 --> 00:23:02.471
- BUT WHEN YOU GET IN SYNC WITH GOD,
- 00:23:02.471 --> 00:23:04.406
- AND YOU GO I'M GONNA BE A CO-LABORER WITH YOU,
- 00:23:04.406 --> 00:23:06.575
- IN YOUR HARVEST FIELD, THEN YOUR LIFE WILL YIELD FRUIT
- 00:23:06.575 --> 00:23:09.778
- THAT IS EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY ABOVE AND BEYOND
- 00:23:09.778 --> 00:23:12.948
- ANYTHING YOU COULD EVER ASK, HOPE OR THINK,
- 00:23:12.948 --> 00:23:15.383
- IN JESUS NAME, IN JESUS NAME.
