Bishop Jakes wants to show you how God uses difficult; crushing experiences to prepare you for unexpected blessings. If you are faithful through suffering; you will be surprised by God's joy; comforted by His peace; and fulfilled with His purpose. Crushing will inspire you to have hope; even in your most difficult moments. If you trust in God and lean on Him during setbacks; He will lead you through.

- VINEYARD TO THE TABLE, THE FRUIT OF THE VINE

- PROCESS AS IT IS TRANSFORMED INTO WINE.
- 00:01:05.788 --> 00:01:08.691
- TRANSFORMED INTO WINE. JUST AS IT IS IN OUR

- THIS IS "CRUSHING." [MUSIC]
- 00:01:23.006 --> 00:01:27.610
- [MUSIC] - BISHOP JAKES: SO THE
- 00:01:27.677 --> 00:01:28.144
- - BISHOP JAKES: SO THE LORD CALLED ME,
- 00:01:28.211 --> 00:01:33.283
- LORD CALLED ME, AND I BECAME AWARE OF
- 00:01:33.349 --> 00:01:34.417
- AND I BECAME AWARE OF IT AROUND 17,
- 00:01:34.484 --> 00:01:39.389
- IT AROUND 17, THOUGH I DIDN'T SAY, "YES,"
- 00:01:39.455 --> 00:01:42.258
- TO HIM UNTIL I WAS 19.
- 00:01:43.626 --> 00:01:46.229
- TO HIM UNTIL I WAS 19. AND IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE,
- 00:01:46.296 --> 00:01:48.665
- AND IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE
- 00:01:48.731 --> 00:01:49.199
- WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE LORD CALLING US,
- 00:01:49.265 --> 00:01:50.133
- IT'S LIKE IT'S THIS
- 00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:51.267
- IT'S LIKE IT'S THIS ONE-TIME EXPERIENCE LIKE
- 00:01:51.334 --> 00:01:52.402
- ONE-TIME EXPERIENCE LIKE HE CALLS YOU ONE TIME, AND
- 00:01:52.468 --> 00:01:54.170
- HE CALLS YOU ONE TIME, AND THEN THAT'S IT, AND YOU'RE
- 00:01:54.237 --> 00:01:55.471
- THEN THAT'S IT, AND YOU'RE DONE.
- 00:01:55.538 --> 00:01:56.139
- DONE. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS
- 00:01:56.206 --> 00:01:57.874
- THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS HE'S STILL CALLING ME.
- 00:01:57.941 --> 00:02:04.847
- HE'S STILL CALLING ME. BY THE TIME I GET TO WHERE
- 00:02:04.914 --> 00:02:06.216
- BY THE TIME I GET TO WHERE HE WAS, HE'S SOMEWHERE ELSE.
- 00:02:06.282 --> 00:02:11.921
- HE WAS, HE'S SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO PAUL SAYS, "OH, THAT I
- 00:02:11.988 --> 00:02:16.025
- SO PAUL SAYS, "OH, THAT I MAY APPREHEND THAT WHICH
- 00:02:16.092 --> 00:02:16.993
- MAY APPREHEND THAT WHICH I'M APPREHENDED OF."
- 00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:20.430
- I'M APPREHENDED OF." IN OTHER WORDS, "I WANNA
- 00:02:20.496 --> 00:02:22.632
- IN OTHER WORDS, "I WANNA CAPTURE THE GOD WHO'S
- 00:02:22.699 --> 00:02:23.499
- CAPTURE THE GOD WHO'S CALLING ME."
- 00:02:23.566 --> 00:02:24.734
- CALLING ME." AND THEN THE GUY WHO IS
- 00:02:24.801 --> 00:02:25.835
- AND THEN THE GUY WHO IS WRITING MOST OF THE
- 00:02:25.902 --> 00:02:28.137
- WRITING MOST OF THE NEW TESTAMENT EPISTLES,
- 00:02:28.204 --> 00:02:30.006
- NEW TESTAMENT EPISTLES, SAYS, "I COUNT NOT
- 00:02:30.073 --> 00:02:31.841
- SAYS, "I COUNT NOT MYSELF TO HAVE APPREHENDED,
- 00:02:31.908 --> 00:02:35.612
- MYSELF TO HAVE APPREHENDED, BUT THIS ONE THING I DO:
- 00:02:35.678 --> 00:02:37.580
- BUT THIS ONE THING I DO: I'M FORGETTING THOSE THINGS
- 00:02:37.647 --> 00:02:39.182
- I'M FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND,
- 00:02:39.249 --> 00:02:41.084
- WHICH ARE BEHIND, AND REACHING TO THOSE
- 00:02:41.150 --> 00:02:42.585
- AND REACHING TO THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEFORE,
- 00:02:42.652 --> 00:02:43.753
- THINGS WHICH ARE BEFORE, I PRESS TOWARD IT."
- 00:02:43.820 --> 00:02:45.455
- I PRESS TOWARD IT." I HAVEN'T GOT IT YET,
- 00:02:45.521 --> 00:02:46.990
- I HAVEN'T GOT IT YET, BUT "I PRESS TOWARD
- 00:02:47.056 --> 00:02:48.191
- BUT "I PRESS TOWARD THE MARK OF THE PRIZE OF
- 00:02:48.258 --> 00:02:49.559
- THE MARK OF THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN
- 00:02:49.626 --> 00:02:51.394
- THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS," MEANS,
- 00:02:51.461 --> 00:02:53.496
- CHRIST JESUS," MEANS, I WANT TO SEE PROGRESS IN
- 00:02:53.563 --> 00:02:57.433
- I WANT TO SEE PROGRESS IN MY PROCESS.
- 00:02:57.500 --> 00:03:01.771
- THE GOAL IS NOT COMPLETION
- 00:03:02.338 --> 00:03:02.972
- THE GOAL IS NOT COMPLETION OR PERFECTION.
- 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.208
- OR PERFECTION. PERFECTION IS NOT MY AIM.
- 00:03:05.275 --> 00:03:08.111
- PERFECTION IS NOT MY AIM. IT'S PROGRESS.
- 00:03:08.177 --> 00:03:11.748
- IT'S PROGRESS. AND HE CALLS ME, AND I GET
- 00:03:11.814 --> 00:03:13.683
- AND HE CALLS ME, AND I GET THERE, AND HE CALLS ME,
- 00:03:13.750 --> 00:03:20.957
- THERE, AND HE CALLS ME, AND I GET THERE, AND HE
- 00:03:21.024 --> 00:03:24.994
- AND I GET THERE, AND HE CALLS ME, AND I GET THERE,
- 00:03:25.061 --> 00:03:29.799
- AND HE CALLS ME, AND,
- 00:03:31.100 --> 00:03:33.603
- AND HE CALLS ME, AND, SUDDENLY, I LOOK BACK AT
- 00:03:33.670 --> 00:03:34.137
- SUDDENLY, I LOOK BACK AT WHERE I CAME FROM AND
- 00:03:34.203 --> 00:03:36.139
- WHERE I CAME FROM AND REALIZE THAT THE STEPS OF
- 00:03:36.205 --> 00:03:37.607
- REALIZE THAT THE STEPS OF A GOOD MAN HAVE BEEN
- 00:03:37.674 --> 00:03:41.978
- A GOOD MAN HAVE BEEN ORDERED, ORDERED, ORDERED.
- 00:03:42.045 --> 00:03:45.782
- ORDERED, ORDERED, ORDERED. DO YOU HEAR THAT?
- 00:03:45.848 --> 00:03:46.983
- DO YOU HEAR THAT? DO YOU HEAR THAT,
- 00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:47.550
- DO YOU HEAR THAT, "ORDERED"?
- 00:03:47.617 --> 00:03:48.318
- "ORDERED"? "ORDERED BY THE LORD,"
- 00:03:48.384 --> 00:03:50.320
- "ORDERED BY THE LORD," AND THAT MEANS, EVERY TIME I
- 00:03:50.386 --> 00:03:51.421
- AND THAT MEANS, EVERY TIME I TOOK A STEP, IT'S 'CAUSE
- 00:03:51.487 --> 00:03:52.388
- TOOK A STEP, IT'S 'CAUSE HE CALLED ME.
- 00:03:52.455 --> 00:03:54.724
- HE CALLED ME. HE CALLED ME, AND HE'S
- 00:03:54.791 --> 00:03:55.224
- HE CALLED ME, AND HE'S GONNA KEEP ON CALLIN' ME
- 00:03:55.291 --> 00:03:57.193
- GONNA KEEP ON CALLIN' ME UNTIL HE CALLS ME HOME,
- 00:03:57.260 --> 00:03:58.328
- UNTIL HE CALLS ME HOME, AND THAT WILL BE A CALL
- 00:03:58.394 --> 00:04:01.664
- AND THAT WILL BE A CALL TOO, AND AS LONG AS I KEEP
- 00:04:01.731 --> 00:04:03.666
- TOO, AND AS LONG AS I KEEP AN ETERNAL "YES" TO AN
- 00:04:03.733 --> 00:04:07.937
- AN ETERNAL "YES" TO AN ETERNAL CALL, I WILL
- 00:04:08.004 --> 00:04:10.273
- ETERNAL CALL, I WILL ALWAYS MAKE PROGRESS.
- 00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:14.610
- ALWAYS MAKE PROGRESS. THE ONLY THING THAT SHUTS
- 00:04:14.677 --> 00:04:15.178
- THE ONLY THING THAT SHUTS DOWN THE PROGRESS IS WHEN
- 00:04:15.244 --> 00:04:16.212
- DOWN THE PROGRESS IS WHEN HE CALLS ME, AND I SAY, "NO."
- 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.815
- HE CALLS ME, AND I SAY, "NO." IT'S NOT THAT I WIN.
- 00:04:18.881 --> 00:04:21.751
- IT'S NOT THAT I WIN. IT JUST MEANS THAT HE HAS
- 00:04:21.818 --> 00:04:25.054
- IT JUST MEANS THAT HE HAS TO WAR WITH ME, RATHER
- 00:04:25.121 --> 00:04:25.621
- TO WAR WITH ME, RATHER THAN REWARD ME, TO SHOW ME
- 00:04:25.688 --> 00:04:29.992
- THAN REWARD ME, TO SHOW ME THAT HE'S STRONGER THAN ME,
- 00:04:30.059 --> 00:04:31.260
- THAT HE'S STRONGER THAN ME, AND I DELAY THE
- 00:04:31.327 --> 00:04:33.363
- AND I DELAY THE PROCESS BECAUSE I DON'T
- 00:04:33.429 --> 00:04:36.032
- PROCESS BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT HE'S
- 00:04:36.099 --> 00:04:38.801
- UNDERSTAND THAT HE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE CALLING ME,
- 00:04:38.868 --> 00:04:40.069
- ALWAYS GOING TO BE CALLING ME, AND GRATIFICATION IS
- 00:04:40.136 --> 00:04:42.271
- AND GRATIFICATION IS ALWAYS GONNA BE SOMEWHERE
- 00:04:42.338 --> 00:04:44.040
- ALWAYS GONNA BE SOMEWHERE IN FRONT OF ME, AND I WILL
- 00:04:44.107 --> 00:04:48.978
- IN FRONT OF ME, AND I WILL ALMOST BE THERE.
- 00:04:49.045 --> 00:04:53.216
- ALMOST BE THERE. MY MOTHER, WHO TAUGHT ME
- 00:04:53.282 --> 00:04:53.750
- MY MOTHER, WHO TAUGHT ME HOW TO MAKE BANANA PUDDING
- 00:04:53.816 --> 00:04:54.917
- HOW TO MAKE BANANA PUDDING FROM SCRATCH-- AND WHEN
- 00:04:54.984 --> 00:05:00.089
- FROM SCRATCH-- AND WHEN SHE WAS SICK AND DYING,
- 00:05:00.156 --> 00:05:00.623
- SHE WAS SICK AND DYING, I MADE BANANA PUDDING FOR
- 00:05:00.690 --> 00:05:01.824
- I MADE BANANA PUDDING FOR HER AND A BIG MEAL,
- 00:05:01.891 --> 00:05:04.327
- HER AND A BIG MEAL, AND I BROUGHT IT UP TO HER,
- 00:05:04.394 --> 00:05:08.598
- AND I BROUGHT IT UP TO HER, AND I SAT BY THE BED, AND I
- 00:05:08.664 --> 00:05:09.866
- AND I SAT BY THE BED, AND I GAVE HER SOME OF THE
- 00:05:09.932 --> 00:05:10.700
- GAVE HER SOME OF THE BANANA PUDDING, AND I SAID,
- 00:05:10.767 --> 00:05:11.801
- BANANA PUDDING, AND I SAID, "MAMA," I SAID,
- 00:05:11.868 --> 00:05:12.935
- "MAMA," I SAID, "IS IT GOOD AS YOURS YET?"
- 00:05:13.002 --> 00:05:16.272
- "IS IT GOOD AS YOURS YET?" AND SHE LOOKED AT ME,
- 00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:17.140
- AND SHE LOOKED AT ME, AND SHE SAID,
- 00:05:17.206 --> 00:05:23.446
- AND SHE SAID, "ALMOST."
- 00:05:23.513 --> 00:05:25.515
- "ALMOST." [LAUGHTER]
- 00:05:25.581 --> 00:05:31.587
- [LAUGHTER] AND I BUST OUT AND STARTED
- 00:05:31.654 --> 00:05:32.955
- AND I BUST OUT AND STARTED LAUGHIN' 'CAUSE SHE NEVER
- 00:05:33.022 --> 00:05:34.357
- LAUGHIN' 'CAUSE SHE NEVER WAS GONNA ADMIT-- SHE
- 00:05:34.424 --> 00:05:35.725
- WAS GONNA ADMIT-- SHE NEVER WAS GONNA ADMIT THAT
- 00:05:35.792 --> 00:05:36.893
- NEVER WAS GONNA ADMIT THAT I HAD MADE IT THERE, BUT I
- 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:38.127
- I HAD MADE IT THERE, BUT I GOT AS CLOSE AS "ALMOST,"
- 00:05:38.194 --> 00:05:41.030
- GOT AS CLOSE AS "ALMOST," "ALMOST."
- 00:05:41.097 --> 00:05:43.366
- "ALMOST." AND IT'S SO FUNNY BECAUSE
- 00:05:43.433 --> 00:05:43.933
- AND IT'S SO FUNNY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GOD IS SAYING
- 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:44.734

- COULDN'T SAY, "BRING FORTH," TO MUD.
- 00:12:52.595 --> 00:12:57.800
- "BRING FORTH," TO MUD. LONG BEFORE HE STARTED
- 00:12:57.867 --> 00:12:59.034
- LONG BEFORE HE STARTED CREATING ANYTHING ELSE,
- 00:12:59.101 --> 00:13:00.703
- CREATING ANYTHING ELSE, HE JUST SAID, "BRING FORTH,"
- 00:13:00.769 --> 00:13:02.805
- HE JUST SAID, "BRING FORTH," AND HE SPOKE TO THE THING
- 00:13:02.872 --> 00:13:05.140
- AND HE SPOKE TO THE THING THAT HE WANTED IT TO COME
- 00:13:05.207 --> 00:13:06.709
- THAT HE WANTED IT TO COME FROM, AND IT BECAME.
- 00:13:06.775 --> 00:13:07.843
- FROM, AND IT BECAME. TO THE SEA, HE SAYS,

- TO THE SEA, HE SAYS, "BRING FORTH," AND FISH
- 00:13:09.812 --> 00:13:10.679
- "BRING FORTH," AND FISH BEGIN TO SWIM.
- 00:13:10.746 --> 00:13:11.614
- BEGIN TO SWIM. TO THE GROUND, HE SAYS,
- 00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:13.382
- TO THE GROUND, HE SAYS, "BRING FORTH," AND GRASS
- 00:13:13.449 --> 00:13:13.949
- "BRING FORTH," AND GRASS BEGINS TO GROW.
- 00:13:14.016 --> 00:13:15.050
- BEGINS TO GROW. TO THE AIR, HE SAYS,
- 00:13:15.117 --> 00:13:16.752
- TO THE AIR, HE SAYS, "BRING FORTH,"
- 00:13:16.819 --> 00:13:18.320
- "BRING FORTH," AND BIRDS BEGIN TO FLY.
- 00:13:18.387 --> 00:13:19.622
- AND BIRDS BEGIN TO FLY. EACH THING HE SPOKE TO
- 00:13:19.688 --> 00:13:21.557
- EACH THING HE SPOKE TO CAUSED SOMETHING TO COME
- 00:13:21.624 --> 00:13:22.424
- CAUSED SOMETHING TO COME FORTH.
- 00:13:22.491 --> 00:13:25.394
- FORTH. WHEN HE GOT READY TO MAKE
- 00:13:25.461 --> 00:13:25.928
- WHEN HE GOT READY TO MAKE MAN, HE SPOKE TO HIMSELF
- 00:13:25.995 --> 00:13:27.763
- MAN, HE SPOKE TO HIMSELF AND SAID, "LET US MAKE MAN
- 00:13:27.830 --> 00:13:30.199
- AND SAID, "LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR OWN LIKENESS AND IN
- 00:13:30.266 --> 00:13:32.902
- IN OUR OWN LIKENESS AND IN OUR OWN IMAGE AND AFTER

- OUR OWN IMAGE AND AFTER OUR OWN KIND."
- 00:13:34.103 --> 00:13:35.938
- OUR OWN KIND." SO WE ARE MORE THAN
- 00:13:36.005 --> 00:13:36.405
- SO WE ARE MORE THAN WATER AND DIRT,
- 00:13:36.472 --> 00:13:38.140
- AND WE ARE MORE THAN THE

- AND WE ARE MORE THAN THE UNIVERSE AND PLANET.
- 00:13:39.341 --> 00:13:41.210
- UNIVERSE AND PLANET. THERE IS SOMETHING OF GOD
- 00:13:41.277 --> 00:13:42.611

- US BECAUSE HE SPOKE TO HIMSELF.

- HIMSELF. SO HE IS TO ME WHAT AIR IS
- 00:13:48.784 --> 00:13:52.588
- SO HE IS TO ME WHAT AIR IS TO BIRDS, WHAT DIRT IS TO
- 00:13:52.655 --> 00:13:57.092
- TO BIRDS, WHAT DIRT IS TO GRASS, WHAT WATER IS TO
- 00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:57.693
- GRASS, WHAT WATER IS TO FISH.
- 00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:02.064
- FISH. HE IS THE ATMOSPHERE THAT
- 00:14:02.131 --> 00:14:03.299
- HE IS THE ATMOSPHERE THAT I'M SUSTAINED IN.
- 00:14:03.365 --> 00:14:07.369
- IF YOU TAKE THE FISH OUT
- 00:14:08.070 --> 00:14:08.971
- IF YOU TAKE THE FISH OUT OF WATER, HE DIES NOT
- 00:14:09.038 --> 00:14:09.939

- IF YOU TAKE THE BIRD OUT THE AIR, HE DIES NOT

- 00:17:37.212 --> 00:17:38.814
- MASTER SAID, "LET US CROSS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE."
- 00:17:38.881 --> 00:17:42.284
- OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE." AND WHENEVER THE MASTER SAYS,
- 00:17:42.351 --> 00:17:44.720
- AND WHENEVER THE MASTER SAYS, "LET US CROSS OVER TO
- 00:17:44.786 --> 00:17:45.787
- "LET US CROSS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE," WHO AM
- 00:17:45.854 --> 00:17:46.889
- THE OTHER SIDE," WHO AM I TO SAY ANYTHING BUT "LET'S"?
- 00:17:46.955 --> 00:17:50.626
- I TO SAY ANYTHING BUT "LET'S"? AND WITH A "YES" IN THEIR
- 00:17:50.692 --> 00:17:52.794
- AND WITH A "YES" IN THEIR HEART AND A CONVICTION IN
- 00:17:52.861 --> 00:17:54.363
- HEART AND A CONVICTION IN THEIR SPIRIT,
- 00:17:54.429 --> 00:17:56.131
- THEY GOT IN THE BOAT WHILE
- 00:17:56.999 --> 00:17:57.499
- THEY GOT IN THE BOAT WHILE JESUS GOT IN THE BED.
- 00:17:57.566 --> 00:18:02.271
- THEY'RE ON THE BOAT, AND
- 00:18:03.805 --> 00:18:05.140
- THEY'RE ON THE BOAT, AND JESUS IS IN THE BED IN THE
- 00:18:05.207 --> 00:18:08.677
- JESUS IS IN THE BED IN THE HINDER PARTS OF THE SHIP
- 00:18:08.744 --> 00:18:11.146
- HINDER PARTS OF THE SHIP BECAUSE JESUS SAID,
- 00:18:11.213 --> 00:18:12.614
- BECAUSE JESUS SAID, "LET US CROSS OVER
- 00:18:12.681 --> 00:18:14.116
- "LET US CROSS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE."
- 00:18:14.183 --> 00:18:15.450
- TO THE OTHER SIDE." HE DID NOT SAY THAT
- 00:18:15.517 --> 00:18:16.451
- HE DID NOT SAY THAT THERE WOULD BE A
- 00:18:16.518 --> 00:18:17.119
- THERE WOULD BE A STORM ALONG THE WAY.
- 00:18:17.186 --> 00:18:19.488
- STORM ALONG THE WAY. HE JUST TOLD THEM THEY
- 00:18:19.555 --> 00:18:20.989
- HE JUST TOLD THEM THEY WOULD GET THERE.
- 00:18:21.056 --> 00:18:22.658
- WOULD GET THERE. HE DID NOT TELL THEM THAT
- 00:18:22.724 --> 00:18:25.994
- HE DID NOT TELL THEM THAT THE LIGHTNING WOULD FLASH
- 00:18:26.061 --> 00:18:27.896
- THE LIGHTNING WOULD FLASH AND THAT THE THUNDER WOULD
- 00:18:27.963 --> 00:18:28.463
- AND THAT THE THUNDER WOULD ROLL AND THAT THE BOAT
- 00:18:28.530 --> 00:18:29.531
- ROLL AND THAT THE BOAT WOULD ALMOST GO CAPSIZED
- 00:18:29.598 --> 00:18:31.033
- WOULD ALMOST GO CAPSIZED AND THAT IT WOULD BE SO
- 00:18:31.099 --> 00:18:32.534
- AND THAT IT WOULD BE SO FIERCE THAT EVEN AN
- 00:18:32.601 --> 00:18:33.435
- FIERCE THAT EVEN AN EXPERIENCED SAILOR LIKE
- 00:18:33.502 --> 00:18:35.871
- EXPERIENCED SAILOR LIKE PETER WOULD BE TERRIFIED
- 00:18:35.938 --> 00:18:37.306
- PETER WOULD BE TERRIFIED AND THAT THE BOAT WOULD
- 00:18:37.372 --> 00:18:39.174
- AND THAT THE BOAT WOULD GET FILLED WITH WATER.
- 00:18:39.241 --> 00:18:40.542
- GET FILLED WITH WATER. HE JUST SAID,
- 00:18:40.609 --> 00:18:42.744
- HE JUST SAID, "LET US CROSS OVER
- 00:18:42.811 --> 00:18:43.245
- "LET US CROSS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE."
- 00:18:43.312 --> 00:18:45.447
- TO THE OTHER SIDE." AND THEN WE BEGIN
- 00:18:45.514 --> 00:18:47.082
- AND THEN WE BEGIN TO LEARN HOW SHORT GOD IS
- 00:18:47.149 --> 00:18:48.850
- TO LEARN HOW SHORT GOD IS ON DETAILS.
- 00:18:48.917 --> 00:18:55.257
- ON DETAILS. HE'S GREAT AT BEGINNINGS,
- 00:18:55.324 --> 00:18:56.525
- HE'S GREAT AT BEGINNINGS, AND HE'S GREAT AT ENDINGS,
- 00:18:56.592 --> 00:18:57.459
- AND HE'S GREAT AT ENDINGS, BUT HE DOESN'T SAY MUCH
- 00:18:57.526 --> 00:18:58.660
- BUT HE DOESN'T SAY MUCH ABOUT THE MIDDLE.
- 00:18:58.727 --> 00:19:00.495
- ABOUT THE MIDDLE. MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY SAY
- 00:19:00.562 --> 00:19:01.930
- MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY SAY HE'S ALPHA AND OMEGA,
- 00:19:01.997 --> 00:19:06.034
- HE'S ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END,
- 00:19:06.101 --> 00:19:08.103
- THE BEGINNING AND THE END, THE FIRST AND THE LAST,
- 00:19:08.170 --> 00:19:09.571
- THE FIRST AND THE LAST, BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T SAY
- 00:19:09.638 --> 00:19:10.806
- BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T SAY MUCH ABOUT THE MIDDLE, AND
- 00:19:10.872 --> 00:19:11.974
- MUCH ABOUT THE MIDDLE, AND THE MIDDLE IS WHERE THE
- 00:19:12.040 --> 00:19:13.308
- THE MIDDLE IS WHERE THE STORM IS.
- 00:19:13.375 --> 00:19:15.844
- STORM IS. THE MIDDLE IS WHERE THE
- 00:19:15.911 --> 00:19:16.378
- THE MIDDLE IS WHERE THE LIGHTNING FLASHES AND THE
- 00:19:16.445 --> 00:19:17.946
- LIGHTNING FLASHES AND THE THUNDER ROLLS, AND THE
- 00:19:18.013 --> 00:19:19.047
- THUNDER ROLLS, AND THE MIDDLE IS WHERE THE
- 00:19:19.114 --> 00:19:20.082
- MIDDLE IS WHERE THE CRUSHING IS, AND THE
- 00:19:20.148 --> 00:19:21.316
- CRUSHING IS, AND THE MIDDLE IS WHERE THE DOUBT IS,
- 00:19:21.383 --> 00:19:22.651
- MIDDLE IS WHERE THE DOUBT IS, AND THE MIDDLE IS WHERE
- 00:19:22.718 --> 00:19:24.086
- AND THE MIDDLE IS WHERE YOU BEGIN TO WONDER,
- 00:19:24.152 --> 00:19:25.254
- YOU BEGIN TO WONDER, "CAREST THOU NOT THAT WE
- 00:19:25.320 --> 00:19:26.622
- "CAREST THOU NOT THAT WE PERISH?"
- 00:19:26.688 --> 00:19:27.456
- PERISH?" THE MIDDLE IS WHERE YOU
- 00:19:27.522 --> 00:19:29.057
- THE MIDDLE IS WHERE YOU WONDER WHY GOD CAN BE
- 00:19:29.124 --> 00:19:31.159
- WONDER WHY GOD CAN BE SILENT WHILE YOU'RE IN A
- 00:19:31.226 --> 00:19:31.994
- SILENT WHILE YOU'RE IN A STORM.
- 00:19:32.060 --> 00:19:33.962
- THE MIDDLE IS THE CRUSHING
- 00:19:34.763 --> 00:19:35.430
- THE MIDDLE IS THE CRUSHING PLACE.
- 00:19:35.497 --> 00:19:37.399
- PLACE. IT IS THE PLACE OF
- 00:19:37.466 --> 00:19:37.866
- IT IS THE PLACE OF UNCERTAINTY.
- 00:19:37.933 --> 00:19:39.601
- UNCERTAINTY. IT IS THE PLACE OF
- 00:19:39.668 --> 00:19:40.335
- IT IS THE PLACE OF VULNERABILITY.
- 00:19:40.402 --> 00:19:41.703
- VULNERABILITY. IT IS THE PLACE WHERE YOU
- 00:19:41.770 --> 00:19:42.271
- IT IS THE PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO TO JESUS, AND
- 00:19:42.337 --> 00:19:44.406
- HAVE TO GO TO JESUS, AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO
- 00:19:44.473 --> 00:19:46.308
- YOU FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO WAKE HIM UP.
- 00:19:46.375 --> 00:19:47.109
- WAKE HIM UP. IT IS IN HIS SLEEP THAT WE
- 00:19:47.175 --> 00:19:49.811
- IT IS IN HIS SLEEP THAT WE DISCOVER THE POWER OF
- 00:19:49.878 --> 00:19:52.914
- DISCOVER THE POWER OF PRESENCE, NOT THE POWER OF
- 00:19:52.981 --> 00:19:59.988
- PRESENCE, NOT THE POWER OF RHETORIC, NOT THE POWER OF
- 00:20:00.055 --> 00:20:00.789
- RHETORIC, NOT THE POWER OF SOLUTIONS--
- 00:20:00.856 --> 00:20:04.559
- THE POWER OF PRESENCE.
- 00:20:05.260 --> 00:20:05.794
- THE POWER OF PRESENCE. HOW COULD PETER THINK THAT
- 00:20:05.861 --> 00:20:09.364
- HOW COULD PETER THINK THAT HE WAS GONNA SINK WITH THE
- 00:20:09.431 --> 00:20:11.500
- HE WAS GONNA SINK WITH THE UNSINKABLE PRESENCE OF
- 00:20:11.566 --> 00:20:15.637
- UNSINKABLE PRESENCE OF JESUS ASLEEP IN THE BOW OF
- 00:20:15.704 --> 00:20:18.073
- JESUS ASLEEP IN THE BOW OF THE SHIP?
- 00:20:18.140 --> 00:20:19.408
- THE SHIP? IN ORDER FOR THE SHIP TO
- 00:20:19.474 --> 00:20:20.542
- IN ORDER FOR THE SHIP TO GO DOWN, THEY'D HAVE TO
- 00:20:20.609 --> 00:20:22.978
- GO DOWN, THEY'D HAVE TO DROWN JESUS, AND JESUS WAS
- 00:20:23.045 --> 00:20:26.682
- DROWN JESUS, AND JESUS WAS ASLEEP BECAUSE THERE WAS
- 00:20:26.748 --> 00:20:28.550
- ASLEEP BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE STORM
- 00:20:28.617 --> 00:20:30.185
- NOTHING IN THE STORM STRONG ENOUGH TO DISRUPT
- 00:20:30.252 --> 00:20:34.156
- STRONG ENOUGH TO DISRUPT HIS PEACE.
- 00:20:34.222 --> 00:20:38.393
- HIS PEACE. THE WHOLE BOAT WAS
- 00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:40.595
- THE WHOLE BOAT WAS SHAKING, THE BREAKERS WERE
- 00:20:40.662 --> 00:20:42.898
- SHAKING, THE BREAKERS WERE DASHING, THE THUNDER WAS
- 00:20:42.964 --> 00:20:43.899
- DASHING, THE THUNDER WAS ROLLING, THE LIGHTNING WAS
- 00:20:43.965 --> 00:20:45.000
- ROLLING, THE LIGHTNING WAS FLASHING, AND JESUS WAS
- 00:20:45.067 --> 00:20:46.134
- FLASHING, AND JESUS WAS OBLIVIOUS TO IT ALL.
- 00:20:46.201 --> 00:20:49.037
- OBLIVIOUS TO IT ALL. THERE WAS NO POWER IN THE
- 00:20:49.104 --> 00:20:51.273
- THERE WAS NO POWER IN THE AIR STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK
- 00:20:51.340 --> 00:20:54.576
- AIR STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK HIS REST EXCEPT THE CRY OF
- 00:20:54.643 --> 00:20:57.546
- HIS REST EXCEPT THE CRY OF HIS CHILD.
- 00:20:57.612 --> 00:21:02.317
- HIS CHILD. "MASTER--" HOW DID JESUS
- 00:21:02.384 --> 00:21:04.019
- "MASTER--" HOW DID JESUS HEAR PETER AND NOT
- 00:21:04.086 --> 00:21:06.321
- HEAR PETER AND NOT LIGHTNING?
- 00:21:06.388 --> 00:21:09.791
- LIGHTNING? HOW DID JESUS HEAR PETER
- 00:21:09.858 --> 00:21:10.792
- HOW DID JESUS HEAR PETER AND NOT THUNDER?
- 00:21:10.859 --> 00:21:12.361
- AND NOT THUNDER? HOW DID JESUS HEAR PETER
- 00:21:12.427 --> 00:21:13.895
- HOW DID JESUS HEAR PETER AND NOT FEEL THE ROCKING
- 00:21:13.962 --> 00:21:15.931
- AND NOT FEEL THE ROCKING OF THE BOAT?
- 00:21:15.997 --> 00:21:16.832
- OF THE BOAT? NONE OF THAT DISTURBED
- 00:21:16.898 --> 00:21:18.033
- NONE OF THAT DISTURBED HIM, BUT THE CRY OF HIS
- 00:21:18.100 --> 00:21:19.201
- HIM, BUT THE CRY OF HIS CHILD WOKE HIM UP.
- 00:21:19.267 --> 00:21:23.638
- CHILD WOKE HIM UP. "MASTER, MASTER, CAREST
- 00:21:23.705 --> 00:21:26.675
- "MASTER, MASTER, CAREST THOU NOT THAT WE PERISH?"
- 00:21:26.742 --> 00:21:29.611
- THOU NOT THAT WE PERISH?" AND, IMMEDIATELY, HE WOKE UP.
- 00:21:29.678 --> 00:21:30.278
- AND, IMMEDIATELY, HE WOKE UP. DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH
- 00:21:30.345 --> 00:21:33.749
- DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH POWER IS IN YOUR CRY THAT,
- 00:21:33.815 --> 00:21:36.218
- POWER IS IN YOUR CRY THAT, IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR
- 00:21:36.284 --> 00:21:40.622
- IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR CRUSHING, IF YOU CRY OUT,
- 00:21:40.689 --> 00:21:41.323
- CRUSHING, IF YOU CRY OUT, HE WILL WAKE UP FOR YOU
- 00:21:41.390 --> 00:21:42.858
- HE WILL WAKE UP FOR YOU WHEN HE DIDN'T WAKE UP FOR
- 00:21:42.924 --> 00:21:43.458
- WHEN HE DIDN'T WAKE UP FOR THE WIND OR THE THUNDER OR
- 00:21:43.525 --> 00:21:44.826
- THE WIND OR THE THUNDER OR THE LIGHTNING OR FOR
- 00:21:44.893 --> 00:21:45.560
- THE LIGHTNING OR FOR ANYTHING ELSE?
- 00:21:45.627 --> 00:21:46.428
- ANYTHING ELSE? "MASTER, MASTER, CAREST
- 00:21:46.495 --> 00:21:53.368
- "MASTER, MASTER, CAREST THOU NOT THAT WE PERISH?"
- 00:21:53.435 --> 00:21:58.940
- THOU NOT THAT WE PERISH?" WHEN YOU'RE IN A CRUSHING
- 00:21:59.007 --> 00:21:59.775
- WHEN YOU'RE IN A CRUSHING PLACE, YOU START TO
- 00:21:59.841 --> 00:22:01.009
- PLACE, YOU START TO WONDER, "DOES GOD CARE?"
- 00:22:01.076 --> 00:22:03.745
- WONDER, "DOES GOD CARE?" YOU WONDER, "DOES GOD CARE?"
- 00:22:03.812 --> 00:22:04.579
- YOU WONDER, "DOES GOD CARE?" BECAUSE GOD IS QUIET, BUT
- 00:22:04.646 --> 00:22:06.448
- BECAUSE GOD IS QUIET, BUT GOD IS QUIET BECAUSE YOU
- 00:22:06.515 --> 00:22:09.518
- GOD IS QUIET BECAUSE YOU ARE SAFE.
- 00:22:09.584 --> 00:22:14.790
- ARE SAFE. "I TOLD YOU BEFORE, I WENT
- 00:22:14.856 --> 00:22:15.357
- "I TOLD YOU BEFORE, I WENT TO SLEEP.
- 00:22:15.424 --> 00:22:18.360
- TO SLEEP. LET US CROSS OVER TO THE
- 00:22:18.427 --> 00:22:22.431
- LET US CROSS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE."
- 00:22:22.497 --> 00:22:25.667
- OTHER SIDE." THIS WAS NOT A NATURAL STORM.
- 00:22:25.734 --> 00:22:28.637
- THIS WAS NOT A NATURAL STORM. THIS WAS A SATANIC UPRISING.
- 00:22:28.703 --> 00:22:37.879
- THIS WAS A SATANIC UPRISING. THIS WAS A SATANIC
- 00:22:37.946 --> 00:22:38.380
- THIS WAS A SATANIC UPRISING BECAUSE JESUS IS
- 00:22:38.447 --> 00:22:39.014
- UPRISING BECAUSE JESUS IS ON HIS WAY TO CAST ARMIES
- 00:22:39.080 --> 00:22:41.917
- ON HIS WAY TO CAST ARMIES OF DEMONS OUT OF A MAN
- 00:22:41.983 --> 00:22:44.519
- OF DEMONS OUT OF A MAN CALLED LEGION, AND THE
- 00:22:44.586 --> 00:22:46.855
- CALLED LEGION, AND THE DISRUPTION HAS COME
- 00:22:46.922 --> 00:22:50.358
- DISRUPTION HAS COME BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT
- 00:22:50.425 --> 00:22:52.828
- BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT JESUS IS COMING TO CAST
- 00:22:52.894 --> 00:22:54.196
- JESUS IS COMING TO CAST THEM OUT, AND THEY'RE
- 00:22:54.262 --> 00:22:55.630
- THEM OUT, AND THEY'RE TRYING TO STOP HIM FROM
- 00:22:55.697 --> 00:22:56.798
- TRYING TO STOP HIM FROM GETTING THERE, JUST LIKE
- 00:22:56.865 --> 00:22:57.632
- GETTING THERE, JUST LIKE YOUR DISRUPTION HAS COME
- 00:22:57.699 --> 00:23:01.636
- YOUR DISRUPTION HAS COME TO STOP YOU BECAUSE THE
- 00:23:01.703 --> 00:23:02.270
- TO STOP YOU BECAUSE THE ENEMY KNOWS THAT YOU'RE
- 00:23:02.337 --> 00:23:03.672
- ENEMY KNOWS THAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET THERE, AND IF
- 00:23:03.738 --> 00:23:04.673
- ABOUT TO GET THERE, AND IF YOU WEREN'T ABOUT TO GET
- 00:23:04.739 --> 00:23:06.107
- YOU WEREN'T ABOUT TO GET THERE, HE WOULDN'T HAVE
- 00:23:06.174 --> 00:23:08.477
- THERE, HE WOULDN'T HAVE SENT THE STORM THAT HE
- 00:23:08.543 --> 00:23:09.744
- SENT THE STORM THAT HE SENT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
- 00:23:09.811 --> 00:23:12.814
- SENT IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO THEY WOKE JESUS UP, AND
- 00:23:12.881 --> 00:23:14.683
- SO THEY WOKE JESUS UP, AND HE WAS THE ONLY ONE AT
- 00:23:14.749 --> 00:23:16.918
- HE WAS THE ONLY ONE AT THIS POINT WHO COULD
- 00:23:16.985 --> 00:23:18.086
- THIS POINT WHO COULD HANDLE THE SITUATION
- 00:23:18.153 --> 00:23:18.653
- HANDLE THE SITUATION BECAUSE PETER COULD NOT
- 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:20.355
- BECAUSE PETER COULD NOT SPEAK PEACE 'CAUSE PETER
- 00:23:20.422 --> 00:23:23.225
- SPEAK PEACE 'CAUSE PETER DIDN'T HAVE PEACE, AND YOU
- 00:23:23.291 --> 00:23:24.993
- DIDN'T HAVE PEACE, AND YOU CANNOT SPEAK OUTWARDLY
- 00:23:25.060 --> 00:23:27.729
- CANNOT SPEAK OUTWARDLY WHAT YOU DO NOT HAVE INWARDLY.
- 00:23:27.796 --> 00:23:29.130
- WHAT YOU DO NOT HAVE INWARDLY. PETER HAD TRAUMA.
- 00:23:29.197 --> 00:23:32.634
- SO IT HE'D HAVE SPOKE
- 00:23:33.268 --> 00:23:34.369
- SO IT HE'D HAVE SPOKE ANYTHING, THE STORM
- 00:23:34.436 --> 00:23:36.638
- ANYTHING, THE STORM WOULD'VE GOTTEN WORSE
- 00:23:36.705 --> 00:23:37.873
- WOULD'VE GOTTEN WORSE BECAUSE HE HAD MORE STORM
- 00:23:37.939 --> 00:23:38.707
- BECAUSE HE HAD MORE STORM INSIDE THAN HE DID OUTSIDE.
- 00:23:38.773 --> 00:23:40.475
- INSIDE THAN HE DID OUTSIDE. THE STORM INSIDE HAD
- 00:23:40.542 --> 00:23:41.710
- THE STORM INSIDE HAD BECOME SO TUMULTUOUS THAT
- 00:23:41.776 --> 00:23:43.111
- BECOME SO TUMULTUOUS THAT NOW HE'S QUESTIONING HIS
- 00:23:43.178 --> 00:23:45.113
- NOW HE'S QUESTIONING HIS SAVIOR: "CAREST THOU NOT
- 00:23:45.180 --> 00:23:46.681
- SAVIOR: "CAREST THOU NOT THAT WE PERISH?"
- 00:23:46.748 --> 00:23:52.821
- THAT WE PERISH?" JESUS GOT UP, WIPED THE
- 00:23:52.888 --> 00:23:54.155
- JESUS GOT UP, WIPED THE SLEEP OUT OF HIS EYE,
- 00:23:54.222 --> 00:23:57.759
- SLEEP OUT OF HIS EYE, STOOD ON THE SIDE OF A

- ROCKING BOAT THAT LOOKED LIKE IT WOULD CAPSIZE AND
- 00:24:00.195 --> 00:24:01.129
- LIKE IT WOULD CAPSIZE AND MERELY SAID,
- 00:24:01.196 --> 00:24:04.366
- "PEACE, BE STILL," BUT HE
- 00:24:05.133 --> 00:24:08.169
- "PEACE, BE STILL," BUT HE SAID WHAT HE WAS.
- 00:24:08.236 --> 00:24:17.045
- SAID WHAT HE WAS. BECAUSE HE WAS PEACE,
- 00:24:17.112 --> 00:24:18.113
- BECAUSE HE WAS PEACE, HE COULD SPEAK PEACE.
- 00:24:18.179 --> 00:24:20.916

- WITH THE CRUSHING PLACE, AND HE SAYS, "PEACE, BE STILL."
- 00:24:27.322 --> 00:24:30.926
- AND HE SAYS, "PEACE, BE STILL." AND WHEN HE SAID,

- AND WHEN HE SAID, "PEACE, BE STILL,"
- 00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:32.627
- "PEACE, BE STILL," THE WINDS HEARD THE VOICE
- 00:24:32.694 --> 00:24:35.564
- THE WINDS HEARD THE VOICE THAT SAID, "LET THERE BE LIGHT."
- 00:24:35.630 --> 00:24:42.037
- THAT SAID, "LET THERE BE LIGHT." AND THE WINDS WERE
- 00:24:42.103 --> 00:24:42.938
- AND THE WINDS WERE SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT,
- 00:24:43.004 --> 00:24:46.508
- SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT, AND THE WAVES LAY PROSTRATE
- 00:24:46.575 --> 00:24:48.810
- AND THE WAVES LAY PROSTRATE IN THE FLOOR,

- AND THE DISCIPLES STOOD THERE, SCRATCHIN' THEIR

- THERE, SCRATCHIN' THEIR HEAD, SAYIN',
- 00:24:53.882 --> 00:24:54.349
- HEAD, SAYIN', "WHAT MANNER OF MAN

- IS THIS, THAT EVEN THE WINDS AND THE WAVES

- THE WINDS AND THE WAVES OBEY HIS WILL?"
- 00:24:57.619 --> 00:25:04.726
- OBEY HIS WILL?" HE REBUKED THE WIND.
- 00:25:04.793 --> 00:25:08.296
- HE REBUKED THE WIND. BUT WAIT, YOU DON'T REBUKE

- BUT WAIT, YOU DON'T REBUKE WEATHER.

- A SPIRIT. JESUS REBUKED THE SPIRIT,
- 00:25:22.143 --> 00:25:23.712
- JESUS REBUKED THE SPIRIT, AND THE WEATHER HAD
- 00:25:23.778 --> 00:25:26.114
- AND THE WEATHER HAD NOTHING LEFT TO WORK WITH.
- 00:25:26.181 --> 00:25:27.949
- NOTHING LEFT TO WORK WITH. THE CRUSHING IS NOT THE
- 00:25:28.016 --> 00:25:28.483
- THE CRUSHING IS NOT THE DESTINATION.
- 00:25:28.550 --> 00:25:31.920
- DESTINATION. IT'S THE TRANSPORTATION,
- 00:25:31.987 --> 00:25:35.957
- IT'S THE TRANSPORTATION, AND YOU WILL GET THERE TO
- 00:25:36.024 --> 00:25:36.958
- AND YOU WILL GET THERE TO THE OTHER SIDE.
- 00:25:37.025 --> 00:25:45.467
