- 00:00:09.412 --> 00:00:17.053
- - I want to talk to you
- 00:00:20.290 --> 00:00:21.624
- - I want to talk to you about transferable faith.
- 00:00:21.691 --> 00:00:25.862
- about transferable faith. In 2 Timothy 1:5,
- 00:00:25.929 --> 00:00:29.666
- In 2 Timothy 1:5, “When I call to remembrance
- 00:00:29.732 --> 00:00:31.201
- “When I call to remembrance the genuine faith that
- 00:00:31.267 --> 00:00:33.203
- the genuine faith that is in you which dwelt first
- 00:00:33.269 --> 00:00:35.572
- is in you which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois
- 00:00:35.638 --> 00:00:37.474
- in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice,
- 00:00:37.540 --> 00:00:39.476
- and in your mother Eunice, I am persuaded,” this is Paul
- 00:00:39.542 --> 00:00:41.044
- I am persuaded,” this is Paul speaking to Timothy,
- 00:00:41.111 --> 00:00:42.445
- speaking to Timothy, “it's in you.”
- 00:00:42.512 --> 00:00:43.313
- “it's in you.” Everybody say it's in you.
- 00:00:43.379 --> 00:00:45.648
- Everybody say it's in you. It's in you also.
- 00:00:45.715 --> 00:00:49.052
- It's in you also. “Therefore, I remind you
- 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.721
- “Therefore, I remind you to stir up the gift of God
- 00:00:51.788 --> 00:00:53.690
- to stir up the gift of God which is in you through
- 00:00:53.756 --> 00:00:57.760
- which is in you through the laying on of hands.
- 00:00:57.827 --> 00:01:00.029
- the laying on of hands. For God has not given us
- 00:01:00.096 --> 00:01:02.365
- For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power
- 00:01:02.432 --> 00:01:04.567
- a spirit of fear but of power and of love
- 00:01:04.634 --> 00:01:05.735
- and of love and of a sound mind.”
- 00:01:05.802 --> 00:01:06.836
- and of a sound mind.” Transferable faith.
- 00:01:06.903 --> 00:01:11.141
- Transferable faith. When you talk about faith,
- 00:01:11.207 --> 00:01:13.710
- When you talk about faith, you have to really define
- 00:01:13.776 --> 00:01:15.979
- you have to really define what that means biblically
- 00:01:16.045 --> 00:01:17.447
- what that means biblically because there's a lot of people
- 00:01:17.514 --> 00:01:18.748
- because there's a lot of people if you ask them are you
- 00:01:18.815 --> 00:01:20.016
- if you ask them are you a person of faith,
- 00:01:20.083 --> 00:01:22.051
- a person of faith, they would say, oh, yes,
- 00:01:22.118 --> 00:01:23.052
- they would say, oh, yes, I'm a person of faith.
- 00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:23.987
- I'm a person of faith. I'm not an atheist.
- 00:01:24.053 --> 00:01:25.221
- I'm not an atheist. I believe in a god
- 00:01:25.288 --> 00:01:26.890
- I believe in a god somewhere out there.
- 00:01:26.956 --> 00:01:29.292
- somewhere out there. I don't really buy into
- 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:30.660
- I don't really buy into the Bible stuff,
- 00:01:30.727 --> 00:01:32.795
- the Bible stuff, but I believe there is a God.
- 00:01:32.862 --> 00:01:36.332
- but I believe there is a God. I do believe that.
- 00:01:36.399 --> 00:01:38.067
- I do believe that. I don't think that it matters
- 00:01:38.134 --> 00:01:39.702
- I don't think that it matters how you get to Him,
- 00:01:39.769 --> 00:01:40.737
- how you get to Him, a lot of times people say.
- 00:01:40.803 --> 00:01:42.005
- a lot of times people say. They have abstract faith.
- 00:01:42.071 --> 00:01:44.274
- They have abstract faith. A faith that it really
- 00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:48.278
- A faith that it really has no definition.
- 00:01:48.344 --> 00:01:49.579
- has no definition. It has no manifestation.
- 00:01:49.646 --> 00:01:51.881
- It has no manifestation. It's just He's out there.
- 00:01:51.948 --> 00:01:53.316
- It's just He's out there. They call Him the Man Upstairs.
- 00:01:53.383 --> 00:01:55.552
- They call Him the Man Upstairs. Let's not limit Him to Jesus
- 00:01:55.618 --> 00:01:57.787
- Let's not limit Him to Jesus and let's not limit Him to --
- 00:01:57.854 --> 00:01:59.923
- and let's not limit Him to -- there are many gods,
- 00:01:59.989 --> 00:02:01.090
- there are many gods, potentially,
- 00:02:01.157 --> 00:02:02.358
- potentially, and however you worship.
- 00:02:02.425 --> 00:02:03.660
- and however you worship. You get to the real God
- 00:02:03.726 --> 00:02:05.061
- You get to the real God through any religion or vehicle
- 00:02:05.128 --> 00:02:07.630
- through any religion or vehicle that you try to take,
- 00:02:07.697 --> 00:02:10.166
- that you try to take, and they believe in a faith.
- 00:02:10.233 --> 00:02:17.740
- and they believe in a faith. They believe in something
- 00:02:17.807 --> 00:02:19.309
- They believe in something out there somewhere
- 00:02:19.375 --> 00:02:22.212
- out there somewhere like spiritualists,
- 00:02:22.278 --> 00:02:24.714
- like spiritualists, people who use New Age crystals
- 00:02:24.781 --> 00:02:27.951
- people who use New Age crystals and things, burn incense
- 00:02:28.017 --> 00:02:31.087
- and things, burn incense to statues, and they believe
- 00:02:31.154 --> 00:02:33.489
- to statues, and they believe in a God out there
- 00:02:33.556 --> 00:02:36.292
- in a God out there like psychics.
- 00:02:36.359 --> 00:02:38.394
- like psychics. They have abstract faith.
- 00:02:38.461 --> 00:02:40.930
- They have abstract faith. They believe there is a spirit
- 00:02:40.997 --> 00:02:42.465
- They believe there is a spirit being that comes and empowers
- 00:02:42.532 --> 00:02:45.068
- being that comes and empowers them to tell the fortune.
- 00:02:45.134 --> 00:02:48.104
- them to tell the fortune. Yeah, there's a spirit being,
- 00:02:48.171 --> 00:02:49.005
- Yeah, there's a spirit being, all right, and tarot cards
- 00:02:49.072 --> 00:02:51.741
- all right, and tarot cards and fortune tellers
- 00:02:51.808 --> 00:02:52.976
- and fortune tellers and all of that.
- 00:02:53.042 --> 00:02:53.876
- and all of that. That's a faith they believe
- 00:02:53.943 --> 00:02:57.513
- That's a faith they believe not in the God of the Bible,
- 00:02:57.580 --> 00:02:59.415
- not in the God of the Bible, nor are they being led
- 00:02:59.482 --> 00:03:00.817
- nor are they being led or given their directions
- 00:03:00.883 --> 00:03:03.019
- or given their directions by the God of the Bible,
- 00:03:03.086 --> 00:03:05.355
- by the God of the Bible, but they believe there
- 00:03:05.421 --> 00:03:06.589
- but they believe there is some spirit out there.
- 00:03:06.656 --> 00:03:10.159
- is some spirit out there. So, that's an abstract faith.
- 00:03:10.226 --> 00:03:11.861
- So, that's an abstract faith. And then there's one that's
- 00:03:11.928 --> 00:03:13.029
- And then there's one that's a little bit closer
- 00:03:13.096 --> 00:03:14.197
- a little bit closer to where it needs to be,
- 00:03:14.264 --> 00:03:16.532
- to where it needs to be, and that's like
- 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:17.533
- and that's like a structured faith.
- 00:03:17.600 --> 00:03:19.802
- a structured faith. By that I mean
- 00:03:19.869 --> 00:03:20.737
- By that I mean a ceremonial faith.
- 00:03:20.803 --> 00:03:24.207
- a ceremonial faith. They believe because
- 00:03:24.274 --> 00:03:25.208
- They believe because they were raised in church,
- 00:03:25.275 --> 00:03:28.011
- they were raised in church, so they believe in the church.
- 00:03:28.077 --> 00:03:30.780
- so they believe in the church. They believe in the ceremonies
- 00:03:30.847 --> 00:03:33.616
- They believe in the ceremonies of the church.
- 00:03:33.683 --> 00:03:35.051
- of the church. They're not anti-Christ.
- 00:03:35.118 --> 00:03:36.552
- They're not anti-Christ. They're not anti-Virgin Birth.
- 00:03:36.619 --> 00:03:38.588
- They're not anti-Virgin Birth. They come at Christmas.
- 00:03:38.655 --> 00:03:40.056
- They come at Christmas. They come at Easter.
- 00:03:40.123 --> 00:03:41.724
- They come at Easter. They come every once in a while.
- 00:03:41.791 --> 00:03:43.393
- They come every once in a while. You know, it's a ceremonial.
- 00:03:43.459 --> 00:03:45.762
- You know, it's a ceremonial. It's more about the ceremony.
- 00:03:45.828 --> 00:03:47.163
- It's more about the ceremony. They want a Christian wedding.
- 00:03:47.230 --> 00:03:48.598
- They want a Christian wedding. When I get married,
- 00:03:48.665 --> 00:03:49.332
- When I get married, I want a Christian wedding,
- 00:03:49.399 --> 00:03:50.400
- I want a Christian wedding, they say, and when I get
- 00:03:50.466 --> 00:03:52.235
- they say, and when I get children I want
- 00:03:52.302 --> 00:03:53.403
- children I want a Christian dedication.
- 00:03:53.469 --> 00:03:55.471
- a Christian dedication. I want to dedicate
- 00:03:55.538 --> 00:03:56.539
- I want to dedicate the babies to Jesus.
- 00:03:56.606 --> 00:03:58.641
- the babies to Jesus. They mean that.
- 00:03:58.708 --> 00:03:59.909
- They mean that. They mean that, but it's not
- 00:03:59.976 --> 00:04:02.378
- They mean that, but it's not something really that they
- 00:04:02.445 --> 00:04:03.880
- something really that they have that they nurture
- 00:04:03.946 --> 00:04:05.381
- have that they nurture that they feed
- 00:04:05.448 --> 00:04:06.115
- that they feed in their own life.
- 00:04:06.182 --> 00:04:07.050
- in their own life. It's what mama raised them in.
- 00:04:07.116 --> 00:04:09.018
- It's what mama raised them in. It's what the church --
- 00:04:09.085 --> 00:04:09.986
- It's what the church -- you know.
- 00:04:10.053 --> 00:04:10.486
- you know. We went to the Baptist church
- 00:04:10.553 --> 00:04:11.988
- We went to the Baptist church or the Catholic church
- 00:04:12.055 --> 00:04:13.056
- or the Catholic church or the Methodist church
- 00:04:13.122 --> 00:04:14.324
- or the Methodist church or the Pentecostal church
- 00:04:14.390 --> 00:04:15.425
- or the Pentecostal church and that's how I was raised,
- 00:04:15.491 --> 00:04:16.592
- and that's how I was raised, and I believe in that stuff.
- 00:04:16.659 --> 00:04:18.728
- and I believe in that stuff. Ceremony.
- 00:04:18.795 --> 00:04:20.229
- Ceremony. Ceremonial faith.
- 00:04:20.296 --> 00:04:23.066
- Ceremonial faith. You know, it's easier to have
- 00:04:23.132 --> 00:04:23.833
- You know, it's easier to have a christian wedding
- 00:04:23.900 --> 00:04:25.401
- a christian wedding than it is to have
- 00:04:25.468 --> 00:04:26.102
- than it is to have a christian marriage.
- 00:04:26.169 --> 00:04:30.139
- a christian marriage. [laughter]
- 00:04:30.206 --> 00:04:32.108
- [laughter] See I went straight
- 00:04:32.175 --> 00:04:32.809
- See I went straight to it didn't I?
- 00:04:32.875 --> 00:04:34.310
- to it didn't I? See, you just hold on.
- 00:04:34.377 --> 00:04:35.311
- See, you just hold on. Here we go.
- 00:04:35.378 --> 00:04:36.446
- Here we go. So.
- 00:04:36.512 --> 00:04:38.047
- So. You know, they want Jesus
- 00:04:38.114 --> 00:04:39.315
- You know, they want Jesus to be at the ceremony.
- 00:04:39.382 --> 00:04:41.551
- to be at the ceremony. We want him --
- 00:04:41.617 --> 00:04:42.118
- We want him -- He's invited.
- 00:04:42.185 --> 00:04:43.186
- He's invited. We're sending out invites.
- 00:04:43.252 --> 00:04:44.654
- We're sending out invites. Put Jesus on one
- 00:04:44.721 --> 00:04:45.955
- Put Jesus on one of those invitations
- 00:04:46.022 --> 00:04:46.823
- of those invitations 'cause I really want him
- 00:04:46.889 --> 00:04:48.591
- 'cause I really want him to bless this marriage.
- 00:04:48.658 --> 00:04:49.392
- to bless this marriage. Now I ain't living nothing,
- 00:04:49.459 --> 00:04:50.626
- Now I ain't living nothing, but I want a Christian marriage.
- 00:04:50.693 --> 00:04:53.196
- but I want a Christian marriage. It's like water baptism.
- 00:04:53.262 --> 00:04:54.530
- It's like water baptism. You can get in the baptism tank,
- 00:04:54.597 --> 00:04:56.599
- You can get in the baptism tank, and you can be a dry sinner
- 00:04:56.666 --> 00:04:59.769
- and you can be a dry sinner and go down a dry sinner
- 00:04:59.836 --> 00:05:02.004
- and go down a dry sinner and come up a wet sinner.
- 00:05:02.071 --> 00:05:03.773
- and come up a wet sinner. The water is just water.
- 00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:05.141
- The water is just water. It's not going to change
- 00:05:05.208 --> 00:05:06.209
- It's not going to change anything unless there
- 00:05:06.275 --> 00:05:08.044
- anything unless there is real faith in you.
- 00:05:08.111 --> 00:05:09.812
- is real faith in you. Not the church's faith.
- 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:11.481
- Not the church's faith. Not ceremony faith.
- 00:05:11.547 --> 00:05:13.015
- Not ceremony faith. Not abstract faith.
- 00:05:13.082 --> 00:05:18.388
- Not abstract faith. And then there's
- 00:05:18.454 --> 00:05:19.422
- And then there's transferable faith.
- 00:05:19.489 --> 00:05:21.190
- transferable faith. That's what we get to
- 00:05:21.257 --> 00:05:22.658
- That's what we get to in my text because he says,
- 00:05:22.725 --> 00:05:26.162
- in my text because he says, Timothy, the faith that I see
- 00:05:26.229 --> 00:05:28.064
- Timothy, the faith that I see in you that is sincere,
- 00:05:28.131 --> 00:05:31.067
- in you that is sincere, that is very real.
- 00:05:31.134 --> 00:05:32.468
- that is very real. It's in you.
- 00:05:32.535 --> 00:05:33.736
- It's in you. He said I saw it first
- 00:05:33.803 --> 00:05:35.571
- He said I saw it first in your grandmother, Lois,
- 00:05:35.638 --> 00:05:36.973
- in your grandmother, Lois, and in your mother Eunice,
- 00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:38.174
- and in your mother Eunice, and I'm persuaded it's in you.
- 00:05:38.241 --> 00:05:40.410
- and I'm persuaded it's in you. Somewhere your grandmother
- 00:05:40.476 --> 00:05:42.478
- Somewhere your grandmother got it, and she transferred it
- 00:05:42.545 --> 00:05:45.181
- got it, and she transferred it because it was personal
- 00:05:45.248 --> 00:05:47.016
- because it was personal because the only kind of faith
- 00:05:47.083 --> 00:05:48.885
- because the only kind of faith that is transferable
- 00:05:48.951 --> 00:05:49.685
- that is transferable is personal.
- 00:05:49.752 --> 00:05:51.487
- is personal. You can't have a distant
- 00:05:51.554 --> 00:05:52.722
- You can't have a distant relationship with God
- 00:05:52.789 --> 00:05:54.223
- relationship with God and transfer it
- 00:05:54.290 --> 00:05:55.291
- and transfer it to your children.
- 00:05:55.358 --> 00:05:56.893
- to your children. You cannot have a lukewarm
- 00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:03.199
- You cannot have a lukewarm relationship with Jesus
- 00:06:03.266 --> 00:06:04.667
- relationship with Jesus and pass red hot fire passion
- 00:06:04.734 --> 00:06:07.570
- and pass red hot fire passion for Jesus to your children.
- 00:06:07.637 --> 00:06:10.039
- for Jesus to your children. The only faith according
- 00:06:10.106 --> 00:06:12.041
- The only faith according to this text that can
- 00:06:12.108 --> 00:06:13.709
- to this text that can be transferred is faith
- 00:06:13.776 --> 00:06:15.778
- be transferred is faith that is personal first
- 00:06:15.845 --> 00:06:17.413
- that is personal first with grandma, and when grandma
- 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.650
- with grandma, and when grandma gets it, then daughter
- 00:06:20.716 --> 00:06:22.785
- gets it, then daughter can't go off grandma.
- 00:06:22.852 --> 00:06:24.654
- can't go off grandma. Daughter has to get her own
- 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.222
- Daughter has to get her own personal faith,
- 00:06:26.289 --> 00:06:27.757
- personal faith, and then she passes
- 00:06:27.824 --> 00:06:28.991
- and then she passes what she is.
- 00:06:29.058 --> 00:06:30.193
- what she is. She has a praise life.
- 00:06:30.259 --> 00:06:32.028
- She has a praise life. She doesn't go to church and --
- 00:06:32.094 --> 00:06:34.530
- She doesn't go to church and -- she has a praise life,
- 00:06:34.597 --> 00:06:35.898
- she has a praise life, and it gets transferred
- 00:06:35.965 --> 00:06:37.099
- and it gets transferred and the children
- 00:06:37.166 --> 00:06:37.900
- and the children have a praise life.
- 00:06:37.967 --> 00:06:38.968
- have a praise life. She has a prayer life.
- 00:06:39.035 --> 00:06:40.303
- She has a prayer life. The children have a prayer life.
- 00:06:40.369 --> 00:06:41.704
- The children have a prayer life. She has a consecration
- 00:06:41.771 --> 00:06:43.673
- She has a consecration and standards and lives
- 00:06:43.739 --> 00:06:44.807
- and standards and lives this thing and reads her Bible
- 00:06:44.874 --> 00:06:46.476
- this thing and reads her Bible and loves God and loves people,
- 00:06:46.542 --> 00:06:48.077
- and loves God and loves people, and it's transferred.
- 00:06:48.144 --> 00:06:49.979
- and it's transferred. Only can you transfer
- 00:06:50.046 --> 00:06:52.181
- Only can you transfer not what you profess.
- 00:06:52.248 --> 00:06:53.916
- not what you profess. Not what you believe,
- 00:06:53.983 --> 00:06:55.585
- Not what you believe, the church's write,
- 00:06:55.651 --> 00:06:56.619
- the church's write, and what they believe.
- 00:06:56.686 --> 00:06:57.987
- and what they believe. You can't pass any of that
- 00:06:58.054 --> 00:06:59.455
- You can't pass any of that on to your children
- 00:06:59.522 --> 00:07:00.890
- on to your children or your children's children.
- 00:07:00.957 --> 00:07:02.425
- or your children's children. That's why we're fasting
- 00:07:02.492 --> 00:07:03.793
- That's why we're fasting because we're saying
- 00:07:03.860 --> 00:07:04.660
- because we're saying I need a personal faith
- 00:07:04.727 --> 00:07:07.330
- I need a personal faith that is transferable not
- 00:07:07.396 --> 00:07:08.998
- that is transferable not just to me but to people
- 00:07:09.065 --> 00:07:11.234
- just to me but to people all around me.
- 00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:12.502
- all around me. This is really weighed on me
- 00:07:12.568 --> 00:07:13.936
- This is really weighed on me as a pastor and a preacher.
- 00:07:14.003 --> 00:07:15.438
- as a pastor and a preacher. I can only transfer
- 00:07:15.505 --> 00:07:17.340
- I can only transfer to you what I am.
- 00:07:17.406 --> 00:07:21.511
- to you what I am. What I have in a personal
- 00:07:21.577 --> 00:07:23.279
- What I have in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
- 00:07:23.346 --> 00:07:26.582
- relationship with Jesus Christ. And even more troublesome
- 00:07:26.649 --> 00:07:28.317
- And even more troublesome is that I can only transfer
- 00:07:28.384 --> 00:07:31.187
- is that I can only transfer my personal faith
- 00:07:31.254 --> 00:07:33.456
- my personal faith and relationship with Jesus.
- 00:07:33.523 --> 00:07:35.157
- and relationship with Jesus. That is the part of me
- 00:07:35.224 --> 00:07:37.493
- That is the part of me that I will transfer
- 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:38.694
- that I will transfer to my children
- 00:07:38.761 --> 00:07:39.629
- to my children and my children's children.
- 00:07:39.695 --> 00:07:40.596
- and my children's children. So, I've got to have it.
- 00:07:40.663 --> 00:07:42.865
- So, I've got to have it. It's got to be personal.
- 00:07:42.932 --> 00:07:44.267
- It's got to be personal. It can't be out there abstract.
- 00:07:44.333 --> 00:07:46.369
- It can't be out there abstract. Some God out there.
- 00:07:46.435 --> 00:07:47.537
- Some God out there. It can't be the church,
- 00:07:47.603 --> 00:07:48.604
- It can't be the church, and boy, when I really need
- 00:07:48.671 --> 00:07:49.939
- and boy, when I really need prayer, I go find Granny Sue,
- 00:07:50.006 --> 00:07:52.742
- prayer, I go find Granny Sue, and she gets her little bunch
- 00:07:52.808 --> 00:07:54.210
- and she gets her little bunch of women together,
- 00:07:54.277 --> 00:07:55.077
- of women together, and they pray for me.
- 00:07:55.144 --> 00:07:56.312
- and they pray for me. No, you've got to get your own.
- 00:07:56.379 --> 00:07:58.147
- No, you've got to get your own. Nothing of that will ever
- 00:07:58.214 --> 00:08:00.116
- Nothing of that will ever be transferred to your children
- 00:08:00.182 --> 00:08:01.117
- be transferred to your children or children's children.
- 00:08:01.183 --> 00:08:05.054
- or children's children. It's really something,
- 00:08:05.121 --> 00:08:05.721
- It's really something, isn't it?
- 00:08:05.788 --> 00:08:07.590
- isn't it? So, we see in this text
- 00:08:07.657 --> 00:08:09.458
- So, we see in this text that real faith
- 00:08:09.525 --> 00:08:11.027
- that real faith doesn't have to be motivated
- 00:08:11.093 --> 00:08:12.562
- doesn't have to be motivated into praise
- 00:08:12.628 --> 00:08:14.597
- into praise ‘cause you have
- 00:08:14.664 --> 00:08:15.464
- ‘cause you have a personal praise.
- 00:08:15.531 --> 00:08:17.567
- a personal praise. Real faith doesn't have
- 00:08:17.633 --> 00:08:18.334
- Real faith doesn't have to stand up here
- 00:08:18.401 --> 00:08:18.968
- to stand up here and say raise your hands,
- 00:08:19.035 --> 00:08:20.202
- and say raise your hands, clap your hands, stand up.
- 00:08:20.269 --> 00:08:21.571
- clap your hands, stand up. Sit down.
- 00:08:21.637 --> 00:08:21.971
- Sit down. Everybody get excited.
- 00:08:22.038 --> 00:08:22.605
- Everybody get excited. No, when you've got real faith,
- 00:08:22.672 --> 00:08:24.941
- No, when you've got real faith, nobody has to motivate you
- 00:08:25.007 --> 00:08:26.709
- nobody has to motivate you to praise the Lord.
- 00:08:26.776 --> 00:08:27.910
- to praise the Lord. Nobody has to motivate you
- 00:08:27.977 --> 00:08:29.045
- Nobody has to motivate you to read your Bible.
- 00:08:29.111 --> 00:08:30.580
- to read your Bible. Nobody has to motivate you
- 00:08:30.646 --> 00:08:31.981
- Nobody has to motivate you to come to church.
- 00:08:32.048 --> 00:08:33.549
- to come to church. Nobody has to beg you
- 00:08:33.616 --> 00:08:35.117
- Nobody has to beg you because when
- 00:08:35.184 --> 00:08:35.585
- because when you've got real faith,
- 00:08:35.651 --> 00:08:36.786
- you've got real faith, it's real to you.
- 00:08:36.852 --> 00:08:40.590
- it's real to you. When you get alone
- 00:08:40.656 --> 00:08:41.257
- When you get alone with Jesus
- 00:08:41.324 --> 00:08:42.124
- with Jesus and you've been with Him,
- 00:08:42.191 --> 00:08:43.993
- and you've been with Him, it gets transferred.
- 00:08:44.060 --> 00:08:47.630
- it gets transferred. You fast and pray for 21 days.
- 00:08:47.697 --> 00:08:50.766
- You fast and pray for 21 days. It gets transferred even if
- 00:08:50.833 --> 00:08:52.635
- It gets transferred even if you don't feel God.
- 00:08:52.702 --> 00:08:53.803
- you don't feel God. Even if you hadn't had no big
- 00:08:53.869 --> 00:08:55.104
- Even if you hadn't had no big angels and no glory cloud.
- 00:08:55.171 --> 00:08:57.206
- angels and no glory cloud. Neither have I.
- 00:08:57.273 --> 00:08:58.474
- Neither have I. I'm with you.
- 00:08:58.541 --> 00:09:00.610
- I'm with you. But I'm going
- 00:09:00.676 --> 00:09:01.277
- But I'm going to tell you something.
- 00:09:01.344 --> 00:09:02.311
- to tell you something. What we're doing,
- 00:09:02.378 --> 00:09:03.312
- What we're doing, ladies and gentlemen,
- 00:09:03.379 --> 00:09:04.714
- ladies and gentlemen, is saying I don't
- 00:09:04.780 --> 00:09:06.315
- is saying I don't want a distant faith.
- 00:09:06.382 --> 00:09:07.817
- want a distant faith. I don't want a distracted faith.
- 00:09:07.883 --> 00:09:10.086
- I don't want a distracted faith. I don't want one
- 00:09:10.152 --> 00:09:11.120
- I don't want one that's out there.
- 00:09:11.187 --> 00:09:11.988
- that's out there. I don't want to go through
- 00:09:12.054 --> 00:09:13.422
- I don't want to go through the routine of church
- 00:09:13.489 --> 00:09:14.757
- the routine of church every blessed Sunday.
- 00:09:14.824 --> 00:09:16.525
- every blessed Sunday. I want a personal fire down
- 00:09:16.592 --> 00:09:19.795
- I want a personal fire down in my soul that so moves me
- 00:09:19.862 --> 00:09:23.499
- in my soul that so moves me that my kids get hungry
- 00:09:23.566 --> 00:09:25.434
- that my kids get hungry for the Holy Ghost.
- 00:09:25.501 --> 00:09:26.836
- for the Holy Ghost. My grand kids want the power
- 00:09:26.902 --> 00:09:29.038
- My grand kids want the power of God more
- 00:09:29.105 --> 00:09:29.972
- of God more than they want anything.
- 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:31.907
- than they want anything. That's when it's transferable.
- 00:09:31.974 --> 00:09:35.611
- Faith is transferable
- 00:09:39.749 --> 00:09:43.085
- Faith is transferable when it's personal.
- 00:09:43.152 --> 00:09:45.588
- when it's personal. They took note
- 00:09:45.655 --> 00:09:46.455
- They took note of them they had
- 00:09:46.522 --> 00:09:47.323
- of them they had been with the Lord.
- 00:09:47.390 --> 00:09:49.558
- been with the Lord. Faith, listen now,
- 00:09:49.625 --> 00:09:50.960
- Faith, listen now, is the essential ingredient.
- 00:09:51.027 --> 00:09:54.697
- is the essential ingredient. This is not some take it
- 00:09:54.764 --> 00:09:55.765
- This is not some take it or leave it option.
- 00:09:55.831 --> 00:09:57.633
- or leave it option. If you don't have what I'm
- 00:09:57.700 --> 00:09:58.768
- If you don't have what I'm preaching right now,
- 00:09:58.834 --> 00:09:59.635
- preaching right now, you don't have anything in God
- 00:09:59.702 --> 00:10:02.071
- you don't have anything in God because faith
- 00:10:02.138 --> 00:10:03.639
- because faith is the essential ingredient.
- 00:10:03.706 --> 00:10:07.510
- is the essential ingredient. You can't have
- 00:10:07.576 --> 00:10:09.111
- You can't have this without faith.
- 00:10:09.178 --> 00:10:11.714
- this without faith. You can't have John 3:16.
- 00:10:11.781 --> 00:10:14.016
- You can't have John 3:16. You can't have healing.
- 00:10:14.083 --> 00:10:15.451
- You can't have healing. You can't have provision.
- 00:10:15.518 --> 00:10:17.186
- You can't have provision. You can't have any of this
- 00:10:17.253 --> 00:10:18.854
- You can't have any of this book without faith.
- 00:10:18.921 --> 00:10:22.191
- book without faith. Let me just give you
- 00:10:22.258 --> 00:10:23.325
- Let me just give you a line in Scripture.
- 00:10:23.392 --> 00:10:24.794
- a line in Scripture. Hebrews 11:6 says this,
- 00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:28.564
- Hebrews 11:6 says this, “But without faith,”
- 00:10:28.631 --> 00:10:30.666
- “But without faith,” everybody say it's essential.
- 00:10:30.733 --> 00:10:33.402
- everybody say it's essential. “But without faith it is
- 00:10:33.469 --> 00:10:36.038
- “But without faith it is impossible to please God.
- 00:10:36.105 --> 00:10:40.843
- impossible to please God. For He who comes to God
- 00:10:40.910 --> 00:10:43.479
- For He who comes to God must believe that He is,”
- 00:10:43.546 --> 00:10:47.049
- must believe that He is,” watch this, “and that He
- 00:10:47.116 --> 00:10:49.518
- watch this, “and that He is a rewarder of those who
- 00:10:49.585 --> 00:10:54.957
- is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
- 00:10:55.024 --> 00:10:59.528
- That sounds like a church
- 00:11:00.229 --> 00:11:01.297
- That sounds like a church that's on a 21-day fast
- 00:11:01.363 --> 00:11:03.099
- that's on a 21-day fast can get ready for some reward.
- 00:11:03.165 --> 00:11:05.968
- can get ready for some reward. He didn't say if you catch me.
- 00:11:06.035 --> 00:11:07.803
- He didn't say if you catch me. He didn't say if you touch me
- 00:11:07.870 --> 00:11:09.705
- He didn't say if you touch me if you have
- 00:11:09.772 --> 00:11:10.406
- if you have an angelic visitation.
- 00:11:10.473 --> 00:11:11.540
- an angelic visitation. He said I will reward anyone
- 00:11:11.607 --> 00:11:14.677
- He said I will reward anyone who diligently seeks me.
- 00:11:14.744 --> 00:11:17.179
- You'll end up in places.
- 00:11:20.349 --> 00:11:21.584
- You'll end up in places. I'll open doors.
- 00:11:21.650 --> 00:11:22.752
- I'll open doors. I'll bless you.
- 00:11:22.818 --> 00:11:23.719
- I'll bless you. I'll make a way for you.
- 00:11:23.786 --> 00:11:25.287
- I'll make a way for you. I know the enemy wants
- 00:11:25.354 --> 00:11:26.255
- I know the enemy wants to wipe you out, but when you
- 00:11:26.322 --> 00:11:27.490
- to wipe you out, but when you diligently seek me,
- 00:11:27.556 --> 00:11:29.759
- diligently seek me, I'm going to reward you.
- 00:11:29.825 --> 00:11:31.494
- The kingdom of God is not
- 00:11:33.229 --> 00:11:34.230
- The kingdom of God is not based upon welfare.
- 00:11:34.296 --> 00:11:39.201
- based upon welfare. It's based upon a reward system.
- 00:11:39.268 --> 00:11:44.440
- It's based upon a reward system. Salvation is free.
- 00:11:44.507 --> 00:11:46.208
- Salvation is free. Nobody has to earn it.
- 00:11:46.275 --> 00:11:47.943
- Nobody has to earn it. It's a free gift.
- 00:11:48.010 --> 00:11:49.245
- It's a free gift. Everything else from
- 00:11:49.311 --> 00:11:50.679
- Everything else from there is warfare.
- 00:11:50.746 --> 00:11:55.584
- there is warfare. You have to take off
- 00:11:55.651 --> 00:11:57.186
- You have to take off your spiritual P.J.s
- 00:11:57.253 --> 00:11:58.754
- your spiritual P.J.s and put on the whole armor
- 00:11:58.821 --> 00:11:59.889
- and put on the whole armor of God, and you have to say,
- 00:11:59.955 --> 00:12:02.992
- of God, and you have to say, now listen here.
- 00:12:03.058 --> 00:12:04.827
- now listen here. This is a war,
- 00:12:04.894 --> 00:12:05.928
- This is a war, and this is a battle,
- 00:12:05.995 --> 00:12:07.463
- and this is a battle, and I'm suiting up
- 00:12:07.530 --> 00:12:09.331
- and I'm suiting up because I know that my God
- 00:12:09.398 --> 00:12:10.900
- because I know that my God is real.
- 00:12:10.966 --> 00:12:12.568
- is real. I know that it's impossible
- 00:12:12.635 --> 00:12:14.637
- I know that it's impossible to please Him without faith,
- 00:12:14.703 --> 00:12:16.839
- to please Him without faith, and I just decree
- 00:12:16.906 --> 00:12:18.474
- and I just decree that I am going to seek Him
- 00:12:18.541 --> 00:12:20.309
- that I am going to seek Him diligently until I find Him.
- 00:12:20.376 --> 00:12:23.779
- diligently until I find Him. The kingdom of God
- 00:12:23.846 --> 00:12:24.747
- The kingdom of God is not a handout.
- 00:12:24.814 --> 00:12:26.115
- is not a handout. It is a reward system.
- 00:12:26.182 --> 00:12:29.919
- It is a reward system. Inside of your Bible is what
- 00:12:29.985 --> 00:12:31.687
- Inside of your Bible is what your life is supposed
- 00:12:31.754 --> 00:12:33.322
- your life is supposed to look like,
- 00:12:33.389 --> 00:12:35.658
- to look like, and the essential ingredient
- 00:12:35.724 --> 00:12:38.294
- and the essential ingredient to make that happen is faith.
- 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:42.398
- to make that happen is faith. Faith is the currency
- 00:12:42.464 --> 00:12:44.633
- Faith is the currency of heaven.
- 00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:45.467
- In London, if you want
- 00:12:47.670 --> 00:12:48.771
- In London, if you want to buy something,
- 00:12:48.838 --> 00:12:49.805
- to buy something, you have to have pounds,
- 00:12:49.872 --> 00:12:52.107
- you have to have pounds, and they will trade you.
- 00:12:52.174 --> 00:12:53.843
- and they will trade you. That's what they call
- 00:12:53.909 --> 00:12:54.677
- That's what they call their monetary system.
- 00:12:54.743 --> 00:12:55.711
- their monetary system. Pounds.
- 00:12:55.778 --> 00:12:56.612
- Pounds. You pay in pounds.
- 00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:57.680
- You pay in pounds. In Germany, francs.
- 00:12:57.746 --> 00:12:59.582
- In Germany, francs. In America dollar bills.
- 00:12:59.648 --> 00:13:01.984
- In America dollar bills. In heaven, faith.
- 00:13:02.051 --> 00:13:05.788
- In heaven, faith. You want something
- 00:13:05.855 --> 00:13:06.889
- You want something from the warehouse of heaven?
- 00:13:06.956 --> 00:13:09.792
- from the warehouse of heaven? Bring your faith because faith
- 00:13:09.859 --> 00:13:11.794
- Bring your faith because faith is the currency of heaven.
- 00:13:11.861 --> 00:13:13.662
- In the kingdom of God,
- 00:13:19.969 --> 00:13:20.970
- In the kingdom of God, you don't get what you want.
- 00:13:21.036 --> 00:13:22.771
- you don't get what you want. You get what you believe for.
- 00:13:22.838 --> 00:13:26.141
- You get what you believe for. It's personal faith.
- 00:13:26.208 --> 00:13:27.409
- It's personal faith. It's not limited by what
- 00:13:27.476 --> 00:13:28.811
- It's not limited by what others are limited by.
- 00:13:28.878 --> 00:13:32.114
- others are limited by. It's personal faith.
- 00:13:32.181 --> 00:13:33.415
- It's personal faith. It doesn't matter if others
- 00:13:33.482 --> 00:13:34.683
- It doesn't matter if others have died of it or others
- 00:13:34.750 --> 00:13:36.752
- have died of it or others believed in something
- 00:13:36.819 --> 00:13:38.220
- believed in something and they didn't get it.
- 00:13:38.287 --> 00:13:39.388
- and they didn't get it. It's personal faith.
- 00:13:39.455 --> 00:13:43.425
- It's personal faith. It's personal faith that leads
- 00:13:43.492 --> 00:13:45.928
- It's personal faith that leads to transferable faith,
- 00:13:45.995 --> 00:13:48.697
- to transferable faith, and to prove this,
- 00:13:48.764 --> 00:13:50.366
- and to prove this, I want to take you to Luke 4,
- 00:13:50.432 --> 00:13:53.035
- I want to take you to Luke 4, and here is the setting
- 00:13:53.102 --> 00:13:53.903
- and here is the setting of Luke 4.
- 00:13:53.969 --> 00:13:55.237
- of Luke 4. Jesus is going to Nazareth,
- 00:13:55.304 --> 00:13:57.640
- Jesus is going to Nazareth, His home town, to do miracles,
- 00:13:57.706 --> 00:13:59.174
- His home town, to do miracles, and the Bible said
- 00:13:59.241 --> 00:13:59.975
- and the Bible said He couldn't do many mighty
- 00:14:00.042 --> 00:14:00.843
- He couldn't do many mighty miracles there because
- 00:14:00.910 --> 00:14:02.544
- miracles there because of their unbelief
- 00:14:02.611 --> 00:14:03.646
- of their unbelief because they were
- 00:14:03.712 --> 00:14:04.446
- because they were so familiar with Him.
- 00:14:04.513 --> 00:14:05.347
- so familiar with Him. They said it's not this
- 00:14:05.414 --> 00:14:06.148
- They said it's not this Joseph's son,
- 00:14:06.215 --> 00:14:07.883
- Joseph's son, and He, the Son of God
- 00:14:07.950 --> 00:14:10.486
- and He, the Son of God could do no mighty works there
- 00:14:10.552 --> 00:14:12.755
- could do no mighty works there because of their unbelief,
- 00:14:12.821 --> 00:14:16.225
- because of their unbelief, and in Luke 4,
- 00:14:16.292 --> 00:14:17.493
- and in Luke 4, Jesus then turns,
- 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:19.128
- Jesus then turns, and He says I want to teach
- 00:14:19.194 --> 00:14:20.829
- and He says I want to teach you something about faith
- 00:14:20.896 --> 00:14:24.333
- you something about faith because He had just healed
- 00:14:24.400 --> 00:14:25.601
- because He had just healed people in the city
- 00:14:25.668 --> 00:14:27.169
- people in the city before He got there,
- 00:14:27.236 --> 00:14:28.437
- before He got there, and He would leave,
- 00:14:28.504 --> 00:14:29.371
- and He would leave, and the Scripture would say in
- 00:14:29.438 --> 00:14:30.506
- and the Scripture would say in the next city in the next
- 00:14:30.572 --> 00:14:31.974
- the next city in the next chapter that He healed
- 00:14:32.041 --> 00:14:33.008
- chapter that He healed them all, but only a few
- 00:14:33.075 --> 00:14:35.611
- them all, but only a few people got something
- 00:14:35.678 --> 00:14:37.379
- people got something in His home town because
- 00:14:37.446 --> 00:14:39.248
- in His home town because they got too familiar.
- 00:14:39.315 --> 00:14:41.684
- they got too familiar. Been around it all their life.
- 00:14:41.750 --> 00:14:43.352
- Been around it all their life. Became ceremonial faith.
- 00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:46.522
- Became ceremonial faith. Became abstract faith.
- 00:14:46.588 --> 00:14:48.757
- Became abstract faith. Well, God can heal,
- 00:14:48.824 --> 00:14:49.591
- Well, God can heal, but you know.
- 00:14:49.658 --> 00:14:51.160
- but you know. God can move mountains,
- 00:14:51.226 --> 00:14:53.195
- God can move mountains, but let's keep a level head.
- 00:14:53.262 --> 00:14:59.802
- but let's keep a level head. I believe in theory in miracles.
- 00:14:59.868 --> 00:15:04.206
- I believe in theory in miracles. But watch.
- 00:15:04.273 --> 00:15:05.040
- But watch. Jesus said, and He uses
- 00:15:05.107 --> 00:15:06.241
- Jesus said, and He uses two illustrations.
- 00:15:06.308 --> 00:15:07.543
- two illustrations. He says in the days of Elijah
- 00:15:07.609 --> 00:15:12.348
- He says in the days of Elijah there was a famine in the land,
- 00:15:12.414 --> 00:15:13.849
- there was a famine in the land, and He said there
- 00:15:13.916 --> 00:15:14.516
- and He said there were many widows.
- 00:15:14.583 --> 00:15:15.451
- were many widows. Notice that.
- 00:15:15.517 --> 00:15:16.151
- Notice that. Everybody say many widows.
- 00:15:16.218 --> 00:15:18.654
- Everybody say many widows. He said I'm telling you there
- 00:15:18.721 --> 00:15:20.055
- He said I'm telling you there were many widows in the days
- 00:15:20.122 --> 00:15:21.390
- were many widows in the days of Elijah when the heavens
- 00:15:21.457 --> 00:15:23.025
- of Elijah when the heavens were shut up for three years
- 00:15:23.092 --> 00:15:24.026
- were shut up for three years that were starving
- 00:15:24.093 --> 00:15:24.994
- that were starving to death in a famine.
- 00:15:25.060 --> 00:15:26.495
- to death in a famine. And then He goes on to say,
- 00:15:26.562 --> 00:15:27.629
- And then He goes on to say, but only one of them.
- 00:15:27.696 --> 00:15:29.631
- but only one of them. One of them.
- 00:15:29.698 --> 00:15:30.666
- One of them. One to whom He was sent.
- 00:15:30.733 --> 00:15:32.668
- One to whom He was sent. One woman got --
- 00:15:32.735 --> 00:15:34.670
- One woman got -- they all had the same needs.
- 00:15:34.737 --> 00:15:38.507
- they all had the same needs. Many needed it.
- 00:15:38.574 --> 00:15:40.442
- Many needed it. Many needed it.
- 00:15:40.509 --> 00:15:41.977
- Many needed it. Everybody shout many.
- 00:15:42.044 --> 00:15:43.879
- Everybody shout many. Many needed it which
- 00:15:43.946 --> 00:15:45.981
- Many needed it which is so important.
- 00:15:46.048 --> 00:15:47.916
- is so important. He said many needed it,
- 00:15:47.983 --> 00:15:50.686
- He said many needed it, but only one got it
- 00:15:50.753 --> 00:15:51.954
- but only one got it and what happened is
- 00:15:52.021 --> 00:15:53.088
- and what happened is the prophet came to her
- 00:15:53.155 --> 00:15:56.325
- the prophet came to her and the prophet said thus
- 00:15:56.392 --> 00:15:58.127
- and the prophet said thus sayeth the Lord make
- 00:15:58.193 --> 00:15:59.128
- sayeth the Lord make a cake for me.
- 00:15:59.194 --> 00:16:00.596
- a cake for me. She said all I have is enough
- 00:16:00.662 --> 00:16:03.032
- She said all I have is enough to eat for me and my child
- 00:16:03.098 --> 00:16:04.099
- to eat for me and my child and die.
- 00:16:04.166 --> 00:16:04.900
- and die. This is our last meal.
- 00:16:04.967 --> 00:16:06.068
- This is our last meal. And the prophet said I'm just
- 00:16:06.135 --> 00:16:07.169
- And the prophet said I'm just telling you what the Lord
- 00:16:07.236 --> 00:16:08.203
- telling you what the Lord told me to do.
- 00:16:08.270 --> 00:16:09.438
- told me to do. Make a cake and give it to me.
- 00:16:09.505 --> 00:16:11.774
- Make a cake and give it to me. A pancake.
- 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:12.975
- A pancake. And she looks at him
- 00:16:13.042 --> 00:16:14.510
- And she looks at him and in that moment, boom,
- 00:16:14.576 --> 00:16:15.844
- and in that moment, boom, because she was hearing a word
- 00:16:15.911 --> 00:16:18.380
- because she was hearing a word from the Lord,
- 00:16:18.447 --> 00:16:19.281
- from the Lord, faith arose in her heart,
- 00:16:19.348 --> 00:16:21.683
- faith arose in her heart, and she gave that prophet her
- 00:16:21.750 --> 00:16:23.952
- and she gave that prophet her last meal, and when she did,
- 00:16:24.019 --> 00:16:26.355
- last meal, and when she did, the Bible said God multiplied
- 00:16:26.422 --> 00:16:28.791
- the Bible said God multiplied her food for three and a half
- 00:16:28.857 --> 00:16:30.192
- her food for three and a half years for her and her son.
- 00:16:30.259 --> 00:16:32.194
- years for her and her son. It was a transfer of faith
- 00:16:32.261 --> 00:16:34.930
- It was a transfer of faith from the word into her
- 00:16:34.997 --> 00:16:36.565
- from the word into her that changed her circumstances.
- 00:16:36.632 --> 00:16:38.167
- that changed her circumstances. Now watch.
- 00:16:38.233 --> 00:16:39.568
- Now watch. And he said and Jesus
- 00:16:39.635 --> 00:16:40.536
- And he said and Jesus is doing this teaching.
- 00:16:40.602 --> 00:16:43.005
- is doing this teaching. He said there were many other
- 00:16:43.072 --> 00:16:44.406
- He said there were many other widows who were starving
- 00:16:44.473 --> 00:16:46.041
- widows who were starving with their babies,
- 00:16:46.108 --> 00:16:47.443
- with their babies, but only one got the miracle
- 00:16:47.509 --> 00:16:49.978
- but only one got the miracle because she saw it.
- 00:16:50.045 --> 00:16:51.747
- because she saw it. She got it.
- 00:16:51.814 --> 00:16:53.415
- She got it. And she activated personal faith
- 00:16:53.482 --> 00:16:55.984
- And she activated personal faith and when she did,
- 00:16:56.051 --> 00:16:57.586
- and when she did, God met her at the point
- 00:16:57.653 --> 00:16:59.254
- God met her at the point of her need with a miracle.
- 00:16:59.321 --> 00:17:01.924
- of her need with a miracle. And then He gives another
- 00:17:01.990 --> 00:17:02.758
- And then He gives another equal illustration.
- 00:17:02.825 --> 00:17:03.992
- equal illustration. He says in the days of Elijah
- 00:17:04.059 --> 00:17:06.395
- He says in the days of Elijah there were many lepers.
- 00:17:06.462 --> 00:17:08.030
- there were many lepers. Many lepers.
- 00:17:08.097 --> 00:17:08.931
- Many lepers. Many people who had leprosy.
- 00:17:08.997 --> 00:17:10.766
- Many people who had leprosy. Many people who had an awful,
- 00:17:10.833 --> 00:17:12.701
- Many people who had an awful, awful disease.
- 00:17:12.768 --> 00:17:13.502
- awful disease. Many, many, many.
- 00:17:13.569 --> 00:17:14.837
- Many, many, many. None of them were cleansed
- 00:17:14.903 --> 00:17:16.805
- None of them were cleansed except Naaman.
- 00:17:16.872 --> 00:17:18.006
- except Naaman. What happened to Naaman?
- 00:17:18.073 --> 00:17:19.408
- What happened to Naaman? Well, let me give you some hope
- 00:17:19.475 --> 00:17:20.642
- Well, let me give you some hope if you feel like, well,
- 00:17:20.709 --> 00:17:21.643
- if you feel like, well, I just don't have enough
- 00:17:21.710 --> 00:17:22.511
- I just don't have enough faith like that woman.
- 00:17:22.578 --> 00:17:23.479
- faith like that woman. I don't have it.
- 00:17:23.545 --> 00:17:24.213
- I don't have it. I don't have it.
- 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:25.214
- I don't have it. Well, number one, let me show
- 00:17:25.280 --> 00:17:26.448
- Well, number one, let me show you what Jesus is trying
- 00:17:26.515 --> 00:17:27.616
- you what Jesus is trying to teach us here.
- 00:17:27.683 --> 00:17:28.917
- to teach us here. Only one.
- 00:17:28.984 --> 00:17:29.885
- Only one. There were many who needed
- 00:17:29.952 --> 00:17:31.086
- There were many who needed healing, but only one got it,
- 00:17:31.153 --> 00:17:32.654
- healing, but only one got it, and what happened to him?
- 00:17:32.721 --> 00:17:34.756
- and what happened to him? The Bible said that when
- 00:17:34.823 --> 00:17:35.724
- The Bible said that when the prophet said to him go
- 00:17:35.791 --> 00:17:37.626
- the prophet said to him go wash yourself and dip seven
- 00:17:37.693 --> 00:17:39.528
- wash yourself and dip seven times in the Jordan River.
- 00:17:39.595 --> 00:17:41.029
- times in the Jordan River. He puffed all up.
- 00:17:41.096 --> 00:17:42.264
- He puffed all up. He was a big shot.
- 00:17:42.331 --> 00:17:43.499
- He was a big shot. He was a big politician,
- 00:17:43.565 --> 00:17:44.800
- He was a big politician, a general, and he said
- 00:17:44.867 --> 00:17:45.868
- a general, and he said that's too low for me,
- 00:17:45.934 --> 00:17:47.169
- that's too low for me, and I'm better than that,
- 00:17:47.236 --> 00:17:48.370
- and I'm better than that, and that's a filthy river
- 00:17:48.437 --> 00:17:49.404
- and that's a filthy river and how dare you,
- 00:17:49.471 --> 00:17:50.239
- and how dare you, and I'm insulted.
- 00:17:50.305 --> 00:17:51.440
- and I'm insulted. I came all the way from Syria,
- 00:17:51.507 --> 00:17:52.808
- I came all the way from Syria, and I'll forget you, prophet.
- 00:17:52.875 --> 00:17:55.444
- and I'll forget you, prophet. And the Bible said he didn't
- 00:17:55.511 --> 00:17:56.979
- And the Bible said he didn't have personal faith
- 00:17:57.045 --> 00:17:57.880
- have personal faith but watch this.
- 00:17:57.946 --> 00:17:59.047
- but watch this. He got around somebody who did
- 00:17:59.114 --> 00:18:02.684
- He got around somebody who did because just when he was about
- 00:18:02.751 --> 00:18:04.419
- because just when he was about to turn around and walk away
- 00:18:04.486 --> 00:18:06.822
- to turn around and walk away and die a death
- 00:18:06.889 --> 00:18:08.056
- and die a death like many were going to die,
- 00:18:08.123 --> 00:18:12.661
- like many were going to die, a servant spoke up,
- 00:18:12.728 --> 00:18:14.496
- a servant spoke up, a humble servant, and said,
- 00:18:14.563 --> 00:18:16.431
- a humble servant, and said, had he asked you to do
- 00:18:16.498 --> 00:18:17.900
- had he asked you to do something great and grand
- 00:18:17.966 --> 00:18:19.701
- something great and grand that would have gotten
- 00:18:19.768 --> 00:18:20.769
- that would have gotten huge attention,
- 00:18:20.836 --> 00:18:21.770
- huge attention, you would've done it,
- 00:18:21.837 --> 00:18:24.406
- you would've done it, but because he told you to do
- 00:18:24.473 --> 00:18:26.275
- but because he told you to do that thing that is low
- 00:18:26.341 --> 00:18:28.177
- that thing that is low in your mind, you are going
- 00:18:28.243 --> 00:18:30.212
- in your mind, you are going to forfeit you miracle,
- 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:31.580
- to forfeit you miracle, and when he said that,
- 00:18:31.647 --> 00:18:33.115
- and when he said that, faith was sparked not
- 00:18:33.182 --> 00:18:34.449
- faith was sparked not because he had personal faith,
- 00:18:34.516 --> 00:18:37.052
- because he had personal faith, but he got around somebody
- 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:38.153
- but he got around somebody who did have faith.
- 00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:39.821
- Notice what happened.
- 00:18:42.391 --> 00:18:43.325
- Notice what happened. Notice what happened.
- 00:18:43.392 --> 00:18:44.960
- Notice what happened. The Bible said he dipped
- 00:18:45.027 --> 00:18:45.961
- The Bible said he dipped seven times.
- 00:18:46.028 --> 00:18:47.696
- seven times. Six times nothing happened.
- 00:18:47.763 --> 00:18:49.064
- Six times nothing happened. Seven times he came up.
- 00:18:49.131 --> 00:18:52.701
- Seven times he came up. And when he came up,
- 00:18:52.768 --> 00:18:53.802
- And when he came up, the Bible said his skin was
- 00:18:53.869 --> 00:18:55.204
- the Bible said his skin was like the skin of a newborn baby.
- 00:18:55.270 --> 00:18:58.040
- like the skin of a newborn baby. What a picture of water baptism,
- 00:18:58.106 --> 00:18:59.208
- What a picture of water baptism, by the way.
- 00:18:59.274 --> 00:19:00.042
- by the way. You go in the water.
- 00:19:00.108 --> 00:19:00.976
- You go in the water. You get baptized.
- 00:19:01.043 --> 00:19:01.710
- You get baptized. You come up.
- 00:19:01.777 --> 00:19:02.377
- You come up. You're born again.
- 00:19:02.444 --> 00:19:03.111
- You're born again. You're brand new.
- 00:19:03.178 --> 00:19:04.313
- You're brand new. Just like a baby.
- 00:19:04.379 --> 00:19:04.947
- And here's the point
- 00:19:08.951 --> 00:19:09.785
- And here's the point that I want to close with.
- 00:19:09.851 --> 00:19:13.055
- that I want to close with. Paul said.
- 00:19:13.121 --> 00:19:15.857
- Paul said. Paul said to Timothy two times
- 00:19:15.924 --> 00:19:20.896
- Paul said to Timothy two times in that verse in Verse 5,
- 00:19:20.963 --> 00:19:23.799
- in that verse in Verse 5, it's in you.
- 00:19:23.865 --> 00:19:26.602
- it's in you. It's in you.
- 00:19:26.668 --> 00:19:29.137
- It's in you. Faith of your grandmother.
- 00:19:29.204 --> 00:19:31.873
- Faith of your grandmother. Faith of your mother.
- 00:19:31.940 --> 00:19:35.043
- Faith of your mother. It's in you.
- 00:19:35.110 --> 00:19:37.379
- It's in you. I hate to tell some of you this,
- 00:19:37.446 --> 00:19:40.182
- I hate to tell some of you this, but it's in you.
- 00:19:40.249 --> 00:19:42.351
- but it's in you. That's why you can't enjoy
- 00:19:42.417 --> 00:19:43.619
- That's why you can't enjoy what everybody else enjoys
- 00:19:43.685 --> 00:19:44.953
- what everybody else enjoys and you can't live like
- 00:19:45.020 --> 00:19:45.821
- and you can't live like everybody else lives,
- 00:19:45.887 --> 00:19:47.022
- everybody else lives, and you can't do what everybody
- 00:19:47.089 --> 00:19:48.290
- and you can't do what everybody else does ‘cause it's in you.
- 00:19:48.357 --> 00:19:49.691
- Somebody in your family
- 00:19:52.794 --> 00:19:54.563
- Somebody in your family transferred some stuff on you.
- 00:19:54.630 --> 00:19:59.735
- transferred some stuff on you. Somebody transferred
- 00:19:59.801 --> 00:20:01.970
- Somebody transferred some anointing on you.
- 00:20:02.037 --> 00:20:03.972
- some anointing on you. Somebody transferred
- 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:05.941
- Somebody transferred some faith into you.
- 00:20:06.008 --> 00:20:07.976
- some faith into you. Their faith got in you
- 00:20:08.043 --> 00:20:09.544
- Their faith got in you and when you are in your
- 00:20:09.611 --> 00:20:10.912
- and when you are in your lowest moments, you know where
- 00:20:10.979 --> 00:20:12.848
- lowest moments, you know where to turn and you know what to do.
- 00:20:12.914 --> 00:20:14.316
- And Paul said, number one,
- 00:20:19.254 --> 00:20:21.123
- And Paul said, number one, I want you to know it's in you.
- 00:20:21.189 --> 00:20:22.791
- I want you to know it's in you. Everybody shout it's in me.
- 00:20:22.858 --> 00:20:25.193
- Everybody shout it's in me. Shout again it's in me.
- 00:20:25.260 --> 00:20:29.331
- Shout again it's in me. And then he said
- 00:20:29.398 --> 00:20:30.132
- And then he said something powerful.
- 00:20:30.198 --> 00:20:31.366
- something powerful. He said it's in you,
- 00:20:31.433 --> 00:20:32.701
- He said it's in you, but you can't stop there.
- 00:20:32.768 --> 00:20:34.603
- but you can't stop there. Then he gives them an
- 00:20:34.670 --> 00:20:35.404
- Then he gives them an instruction, so stir up
- 00:20:35.470 --> 00:20:37.806
- instruction, so stir up the gift that is in you.
- 00:20:37.873 --> 00:20:41.710
- the gift that is in you. That's what this fast is doing.
- 00:20:41.777 --> 00:20:43.312
- That's what this fast is doing. It's stirring up the anointing.
- 00:20:43.378 --> 00:20:46.148
- It's stirring up the anointing. It's stirring up personal faith.
- 00:20:46.214 --> 00:20:48.583
- It's stirring up personal faith. I can't afford to have
- 00:20:48.650 --> 00:20:49.584
- I can't afford to have ceremonial faith.
- 00:20:49.651 --> 00:20:50.952
- ceremonial faith. I can't afford to just come
- 00:20:51.019 --> 00:20:52.187
- I can't afford to just come to church and let singers
- 00:20:52.254 --> 00:20:53.622
- to church and let singers do my praising
- 00:20:53.689 --> 00:20:54.790
- do my praising and let people live for God
- 00:20:54.856 --> 00:20:56.325
- and let people live for God and let the preacher bring me
- 00:20:56.391 --> 00:20:57.426
- and let the preacher bring me a word every once in a while.
- 00:20:57.492 --> 00:20:58.927
- a word every once in a while. I have to get some
- 00:20:58.994 --> 00:20:59.895
- I have to get some personal faith, and it's in me,
- 00:20:59.961 --> 00:21:02.130
- personal faith, and it's in me, but I've got to feed it,
- 00:21:02.197 --> 00:21:03.565
- but I've got to feed it, and it gets activated
- 00:21:03.632 --> 00:21:05.167
- and it gets activated when I get around other people
- 00:21:05.233 --> 00:21:06.234
- when I get around other people who have faith.
- 00:21:06.301 --> 00:21:07.502
- who have faith. So, I need to make God's
- 00:21:07.569 --> 00:21:08.403
- So, I need to make God's house a priority,
- 00:21:08.470 --> 00:21:09.738
- house a priority, and I need to pray,
- 00:21:09.805 --> 00:21:10.839
- and I need to pray, and I need to read the Bible.
- 00:21:10.906 --> 00:21:12.174
- and I need to read the Bible. It's in me,
- 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:13.108
- It's in me, but I've got to feed it.
- 00:21:13.175 --> 00:21:14.276
- but I've got to feed it. I've got to have personal faith.
- 00:21:14.343 --> 00:21:15.344
- I've got to have personal faith. Why?
- 00:21:15.410 --> 00:21:16.078
- Why? Because only personal faith
- 00:21:16.144 --> 00:21:18.080
- Because only personal faith is transferred faith.
- 00:21:18.146 --> 00:21:22.617
- is transferred faith. If you're not growing personally
- 00:21:22.684 --> 00:21:24.086
- If you're not growing personally in your faith,
- 00:21:24.152 --> 00:21:25.020
- in your faith, you're not transferring
- 00:21:25.087 --> 00:21:26.088
- you're not transferring your faith
- 00:21:26.154 --> 00:21:27.122
- your faith to the next generation.
- 00:21:27.189 --> 00:21:28.223
- So, he said you've got to know
- 00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:33.428
- So, he said you've got to know number one and be reminded
- 00:21:33.495 --> 00:21:34.930
- number one and be reminded that it's in you.
- 00:21:34.996 --> 00:21:36.865
- that it's in you. And then he said secondly,
- 00:21:36.932 --> 00:21:40.235
- And then he said secondly, you've got to stir it up.
- 00:21:40.302 --> 00:21:42.804
- you've got to stir it up. Boy, I'm praying today
- 00:21:42.871 --> 00:21:43.972
- Boy, I'm praying today for that kind of stirring.
- 00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:44.806
- for that kind of stirring. I feel it in my heart.
- 00:21:44.873 --> 00:21:46.375
- I feel it in my heart. I know when I go home,
- 00:21:46.441 --> 00:21:47.743
- I know when I go home, I'm stirred.
- 00:21:47.809 --> 00:21:49.811
- I'm stirred. I don't know about you
- 00:21:49.878 --> 00:21:51.213
- I don't know about you ‘cause this is personal.
- 00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:53.348
- ‘cause this is personal. Sometimes a preacher
- 00:21:53.415 --> 00:21:54.349
- Sometimes a preacher can't talk you into it.
- 00:21:54.416 --> 00:21:55.550
- can't talk you into it. Sometimes you've got to

- The gift that causes miracles to come your way.

- to come your way. You have to stir it up
- 00:22:11.900 --> 00:22:13.301
- You have to stir it up and say I can't live another
- 00:22:13.368 --> 00:22:14.903

- the Jewish people have
- 00:25:05.941 --> 00:25:06.975
- experienced periods
- 00:25:07.075 --> 00:25:08.009
- of persecution.
- 00:25:08.109 --> 00:25:10.178
- Even today, anti-semitism
- 00:25:10.278 --> 00:25:11.680
- is on the rise around the world
- 00:25:11.780 --> 00:25:14.316
- but God's promise is to return
- 00:25:14.416 --> 00:25:15.650
- His people to the land
- 00:25:15.750 --> 00:25:16.785
- He promised.
- 00:25:16.885 --> 00:25:18.153
- And with your help, we can
- 00:25:18.253 --> 00:25:19.187

- 00:25:19.287 --> 00:25:20.689
- in the Holy Land.

- 00:25:35.070 --> 00:25:37.572
- Often, they arrive in Israel
- 00:25:37.672 --> 00:25:38.807
- with little more than the

- 00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:53.088

- she experienced many hardships.
- 00:25:54.589 --> 00:25:56.891
