Coming up
on Life Today!
00:00:09.309 --> 00:00:11.244 align:start line:10% position:20% size:60%
Through her own
experiences of suffering
00:00:11.311 --> 00:00:13.246 align:center line:10% position:50% size:48%
and feeling
the silence of God,
00:00:13.313 --> 00:00:15.248 align:center line:10% position:50% size:30%
Susie Larson
has learned
00:00:15.315 --> 00:00:18.451 align:center line:10% position:50% size:55%
that Jesus is closer
than your next breath.
00:00:18.518 --> 00:00:21.187 align:start line:63% position:13% size:75%
>> When God breaks through
into the natural circumstances
00:00:21.254 --> 00:00:23.690 align:center line:63% position:50% size:50%
he's trying to bring
a greater revelation
00:00:23.757 --> 00:00:26.726 align:center line:63% position:50% size:40%
of your identity
or his Lordship
00:00:26.793 --> 00:00:29.028 align:center line:63% position:50% size:68%
or the calling and purposes
on your life.
00:00:29.095 --> 00:00:31.698 align:start line:63% position:18% size:65%
But when you encounter God
and it's so life-changing,
00:00:31.765 --> 00:00:33.700 align:center line:63% position:50% size:40%
you get
a little panicky
00:00:33.767 --> 00:00:36.069 align:center line:63% position:50% size:60%
when you go
through a silent season.

RANDY: Welcome to LIFE Today.
00:00:56.022 --> 00:00:57.657 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
I am Randy Robison,
00:00:57.724 --> 00:00:59.192 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
and I am here
00:00:59.259 --> 00:01:00.593 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
to encourage you.
00:01:00.660 --> 00:01:02.028 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
You might be watching
00:01:02.095 --> 00:01:03.830 align:start line:63% position:10% size:23%
right now
00:01:03.897 --> 00:01:05.064 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
because you're going
00:01:05.131 --> 00:01:06.266 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
through some difficulties,
00:01:06.332 --> 00:01:07.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
or you've been through
00:01:07.534 --> 00:01:08.701 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
some traumatic things.
00:01:08.768 --> 00:01:10.069 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
You might be wondering,
00:01:10.136 --> 00:01:11.371 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
where's God?
00:01:11.438 --> 00:01:12.672 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Are you even there?
00:01:12.739 --> 00:01:14.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I need to tell you something,
00:01:14.274 --> 00:01:15.442 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
you're not alone
00:01:15.508 --> 00:01:16.676 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and I mean that
00:01:16.743 --> 00:01:17.744 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
in two different ways.
00:01:17.811 --> 00:01:18.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I mean that first of all,
00:01:18.945 --> 00:01:20.013 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
you're not alone
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because God is with you.
00:01:21.214 --> 00:01:22.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
You may not see it
00:01:22.415 --> 00:01:24.317 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
but I'm telling you he is.
00:01:24.384 --> 00:01:25.552 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And I'm also saying that
00:01:25.618 --> 00:01:26.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
because you're not
00:01:27.053 --> 00:01:28.354 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
the only one
00:01:28.421 --> 00:01:29.422 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to feel that way.
00:01:29.489 --> 00:01:30.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
A lot of people
00:01:30.723 --> 00:01:31.825 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
have felt that way,
00:01:31.891 --> 00:01:33.126 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and a lot of people
00:01:33.193 --> 00:01:34.360 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
feel that way right now.
00:01:34.427 --> 00:01:35.562 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
That's why I'm here
00:01:35.628 --> 00:01:37.964 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to go back a few months
00:01:38.031 --> 00:01:39.232 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
to a program
00:01:39.299 --> 00:01:40.266 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that my parents did
00:01:40.333 --> 00:01:41.434 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
with a woman
00:01:41.501 --> 00:01:42.735 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
named Susie Larson.
00:01:42.802 --> 00:01:44.037 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Susie has experienced
00:01:44.103 --> 00:01:46.372 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
a lot of things physically
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.107 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and emotionally.
00:01:48.174 --> 00:01:50.009 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
There has been some abuse.
00:01:50.076 --> 00:01:52.812 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
There's just been a lot.
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:54.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
There's been
00:01:54.914 --> 00:01:56.049 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the kinds of things
00:01:56.115 --> 00:01:57.517 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that you don't really want
00:01:57.584 --> 00:01:59.185 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
to live in,
00:01:59.252 --> 00:02:00.420 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the kinds of things
00:02:00.487 --> 00:02:01.688 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
you'd rather forget,
00:02:01.754 --> 00:02:02.856 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the kinds of things
00:02:02.922 --> 00:02:04.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
you want to get over
00:02:04.257 --> 00:02:05.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and get healed from
00:02:05.391 --> 00:02:06.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and move on from.
00:02:06.626 --> 00:02:07.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
But it was in those moments
00:02:07.827 --> 00:02:09.162 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that she realized
00:02:09.229 --> 00:02:10.296 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that God is not just with her
00:02:10.363 --> 00:02:11.564 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
but he's,
00:02:11.631 --> 00:02:12.866 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
as her book title says,
00:02:12.932 --> 00:02:15.835 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Closer Than Your Next Breath.
00:02:15.902 --> 00:02:17.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
So, here's my
00:02:17.136 --> 00:02:18.304 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
question for you.
00:02:18.371 --> 00:02:19.906 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Are you having trouble
00:02:19.973 --> 00:02:21.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
just breathing right now?
00:02:21.274 --> 00:02:22.442 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Do you wonder if God
00:02:22.509 --> 00:02:23.910 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
really is out there?
00:02:23.977 --> 00:02:26.446 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
Well, I want you to watch this
00:02:26.513 --> 00:02:28.381 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and listen as God tells you,
00:02:28.448 --> 00:02:30.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
yeah, I'm closer
00:02:30.283 --> 00:02:31.551 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
than your next breath.
00:02:31.618 --> 00:02:32.886 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Enjoy this encouragement
00:02:32.952 --> 00:02:34.954 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
with Susie Larson.
00:02:35.955 --> 00:02:38.124 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
Susie, we're glad to have you.
00:02:38.191 --> 00:02:39.192 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
SUSIE: So honored
00:02:39.259 --> 00:02:40.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to be back with you.
00:02:40.326 --> 00:02:41.361 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Thank you for having me.
00:02:41.427 --> 00:02:42.428 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
JAMES: Do you know
00:02:42.495 --> 00:02:43.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
how many years now
00:02:43.596 --> 00:02:44.564 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
you've been coming here?
00:02:44.631 --> 00:02:45.665 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
SUSIE: I think the first time
00:02:45.732 --> 00:02:47.667 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I came was 20 years ago.
00:02:47.734 --> 00:02:50.103 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
So yeah, thank you!
00:02:50.169 --> 00:02:51.204 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
It's amazing
00:02:51.271 --> 00:02:52.238 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
you keep inviting me back.
00:02:52.305 --> 00:02:53.339 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
So thank you.
00:02:53.406 --> 00:02:54.541 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
JAMES: We'll never stop
00:02:54.607 --> 00:02:55.608 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
because you'll just continue
00:02:55.675 --> 00:02:57.010 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to inspire us all.
00:02:57.076 --> 00:03:00.046 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
For 30 years, you have been
00:03:00.113 --> 00:03:02.549 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
under attack physically.
00:03:02.615 --> 00:03:03.983 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
Did the attacks start
00:03:04.050 --> 00:03:05.552 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
30 years ago?
00:03:05.618 --> 00:03:07.787 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
Did it intensify or start
00:03:07.854 --> 00:03:09.022 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
with Lyme disease?
00:03:09.088 --> 00:03:10.223 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
Because I know
00:03:10.290 --> 00:03:11.391 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
you have Lyme disease
00:03:11.457 --> 00:03:12.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
which is just one
00:03:12.625 --> 00:03:13.726 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of the most confusing,
00:03:13.793 --> 00:03:16.129 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
strange, dangerous,
00:03:16.195 --> 00:03:18.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and deadly diseases
00:03:18.464 --> 00:03:20.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that can come from a tick.
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:21.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Is that where
00:03:21.901 --> 00:03:23.002 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
most of it started?
00:03:23.069 --> 00:03:24.070 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
SUSIE: I would have to say,
00:03:24.137 --> 00:03:25.171 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
I'd have to back up
00:03:25.238 --> 00:03:26.239 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
and I've told parts
00:03:26.306 --> 00:03:27.307 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
of this story
00:03:27.373 --> 00:03:28.441 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
maybe on past shows with you
00:03:28.508 --> 00:03:29.475 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
but I often say
00:03:29.542 --> 00:03:30.510 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
that the enemy
00:03:30.577 --> 00:03:31.544 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
sees your potential
00:03:31.611 --> 00:03:32.579 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
long before you ever do.
00:03:32.645 --> 00:03:33.646 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And you can just go back
00:03:33.713 --> 00:03:34.681 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
to your childhood
00:03:34.747 --> 00:03:35.715 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
and you see
00:03:35.782 --> 00:03:36.749 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
this threat against you.
00:03:36.816 --> 00:03:37.784 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
It's so connected
00:03:37.850 --> 00:03:38.818 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to your threat to him
00:03:38.885 --> 00:03:39.852 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and he will go after you
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:40.887 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
before you even know
00:03:40.954 --> 00:03:41.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that you have a target
00:03:41.988 --> 00:03:42.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
on your back.
00:03:43.022 --> 00:03:43.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So I would say as a child
00:03:44.023 --> 00:03:44.958 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
raised in a denomination,
00:03:45.024 --> 00:03:45.959 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I knew God was real
00:03:46.025 --> 00:03:46.993 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
but I didn't know
00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:48.027 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Jesus was accessible.
00:03:48.094 --> 00:03:49.062 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I didn't have the gospel
00:03:49.128 --> 00:03:50.096 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
preached to me
00:03:50.163 --> 00:03:51.130 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
or anything like that.
00:03:51.197 --> 00:03:52.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And at nine years old,
00:03:52.231 --> 00:03:53.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I suffered a sexual assault
00:03:53.266 --> 00:03:54.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
at the hands of teenage boys.
00:03:54.367 --> 00:03:55.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I didn't tell anybody
00:03:55.435 --> 00:03:56.469 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
about that
00:03:56.536 --> 00:03:57.570 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
because my dad was the mayor
00:03:57.637 --> 00:03:58.671 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
of our city.
00:03:58.738 --> 00:03:59.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I was so confused
00:03:59.839 --> 00:04:00.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
about whose fault that was.
00:04:00.940 --> 00:04:03.509 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I just absorbed it
00:04:03.576 --> 00:04:06.245 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and basically, insecurity,
00:04:06.312 --> 00:04:07.380 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a spirit of fear,
00:04:07.447 --> 00:04:08.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
all those things, really
00:04:08.848 --> 00:04:10.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
were so big for me.
00:04:10.450 --> 00:04:11.417 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Ten years old,
00:04:11.484 --> 00:04:12.418 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I was walking home from school
00:04:12.485 --> 00:04:13.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and I was jumped
00:04:13.486 --> 00:04:14.454 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
by a different group of boys
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:15.488 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in our suburb
00:04:15.555 --> 00:04:16.522 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and beaten terribly.
00:04:16.589 --> 00:04:17.557 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
They punched me, kicked me,
00:04:17.624 --> 00:04:18.558 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and pulled fistfuls
00:04:18.625 --> 00:04:19.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
of hair out.
00:04:19.659 --> 00:04:20.593 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
And when I got up
00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:21.594 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
from that beating,
00:04:21.661 --> 00:04:22.629 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I heard in my ear,
00:04:22.695 --> 00:04:23.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
not audibly but
00:04:23.696 --> 00:04:24.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
it might as well have been,
00:04:24.764 --> 00:04:25.698 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I can get you anytime,
00:04:25.765 --> 00:04:26.699 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
anywhere,
00:04:26.766 --> 00:04:27.767 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and God will never stop me.
00:04:27.834 --> 00:04:28.768 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
So as a little girl,
00:04:28.835 --> 00:04:29.769 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I knew God was real
00:04:29.836 --> 00:04:30.770 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and at that moment
00:04:30.837 --> 00:04:31.971 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I knew the devil was real.
00:04:32.038 --> 00:04:33.006 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
When I came to Christ
00:04:33.072 --> 00:04:34.073 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in eighth or ninth grade,
00:04:34.140 --> 00:04:35.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
it would be even going
00:04:35.174 --> 00:04:36.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
into my young adult years
00:04:36.209 --> 00:04:37.210 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
as a young married woman,
00:04:37.276 --> 00:04:38.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I knew I was saved,
00:04:38.778 --> 00:04:39.912 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
once I became a Christian,
00:04:39.979 --> 00:04:41.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I didn't know I was loved.
00:04:41.347 --> 00:04:42.882 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So that's probably true
00:04:42.949 --> 00:04:44.484 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
for a lot of believers,
00:04:44.550 --> 00:04:45.585 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
even seasoned believers
00:04:45.652 --> 00:04:46.686 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
may know they're saved
00:04:46.753 --> 00:04:47.754 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
but they don't know
00:04:47.820 --> 00:04:48.821 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
they're loved.
00:04:48.888 --> 00:04:49.889 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
If you don't have
00:04:49.956 --> 00:04:50.923 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
that resolved
00:04:50.990 --> 00:04:51.924 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
and you have a lot of trauma,
00:04:51.991 --> 00:04:52.992 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
and the enemy will go after
00:04:53.059 --> 00:04:54.093 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
every one of God's children,
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.228 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
you won't always resolve
00:04:55.294 --> 00:04:56.329 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
those things
00:04:56.396 --> 00:04:57.397 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
in light of God's love,
00:04:57.463 --> 00:04:58.431 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
you'll be tempted
00:04:58.498 --> 00:04:59.432 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to accuse God of things
00:04:59.499 --> 00:05:00.466 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that the devil is guilty of.
00:05:00.533 --> 00:05:01.501 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
And for me,
00:05:01.567 --> 00:05:02.535 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
as I was telling you
00:05:02.602 --> 00:05:03.569 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
before the show,
00:05:03.636 --> 00:05:04.604 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
during our third pregnancy,
00:05:04.671 --> 00:05:05.672 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I was on bed rest
00:05:05.738 --> 00:05:06.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
for six months.
00:05:06.939 --> 00:05:08.508 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Prior to that, I was serving
00:05:08.574 --> 00:05:09.942 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
on five committees at church
00:05:10.009 --> 00:05:11.044 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
because even though
00:05:11.110 --> 00:05:12.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
I was saved
00:05:12.111 --> 00:05:13.079 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I didn't know I was loved.
00:05:13.146 --> 00:05:14.113 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
So what you do
00:05:14.180 --> 00:05:15.181 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
when that's the case
00:05:15.248 --> 00:05:16.182 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
is you use your time,
00:05:16.249 --> 00:05:17.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
treasure, and talents
00:05:17.417 --> 00:05:18.418 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to prove something
00:05:18.484 --> 00:05:19.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Jesus has already proven.
00:05:19.552 --> 00:05:20.553 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So I was super Christian
00:05:20.620 --> 00:05:21.821 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
because I was so grateful.
00:05:21.888 --> 00:05:22.822 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
But I felt like
00:05:22.889 --> 00:05:23.856 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I had things to pay back
00:05:23.923 --> 00:05:24.891 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and I had things to earn.
00:05:24.957 --> 00:05:26.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So to go out to bedrest
00:05:26.426 --> 00:05:27.493 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
was a nightmare come true
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:28.628 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
because everybody
00:05:28.695 --> 00:05:29.696 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
was doing favors for us,
00:05:29.762 --> 00:05:30.730 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
they were getting tired
00:05:30.797 --> 00:05:31.731 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
on my behalf,
00:05:31.798 --> 00:05:32.899 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and it confronted
00:05:32.965 --> 00:05:33.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
all my insecurities.
00:05:34.033 --> 00:05:35.001 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
So when the doctor let me up
00:05:35.068 --> 00:05:36.169 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
for one day,
00:05:36.235 --> 00:05:37.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I'd been in bed
00:05:37.270 --> 00:05:38.237 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for three months,
00:05:38.304 --> 00:05:39.272 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
with a one
00:05:39.338 --> 00:05:40.306 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and a three-year-old.
00:05:40.373 --> 00:05:41.340 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And one was strong-willed
00:05:41.407 --> 00:05:42.375 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
so not everybody wanted
00:05:42.442 --> 00:05:43.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
to watch him when they offered
00:05:43.476 --> 00:05:44.410 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to babysit my kids.
00:05:44.477 --> 00:05:46.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I was allowed up for one day
00:05:46.546 --> 00:05:47.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
because I hadn't contracted
00:05:47.613 --> 00:05:48.614 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
in a couple of days
00:05:48.681 --> 00:05:49.682 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and the doctor said,
00:05:49.749 --> 00:05:50.750 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
"Let's just see how you do."
00:05:50.817 --> 00:05:51.818 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
And so I met
00:05:51.884 --> 00:05:52.885 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
my old college roommates,
00:05:52.952 --> 00:05:53.920 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
it was a fall day,
00:05:53.986 --> 00:05:54.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
went for a walk,
00:05:54.987 --> 00:05:55.922 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and had lunch.
00:05:55.988 --> 00:05:56.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
We were so careful.
00:05:57.023 --> 00:05:58.091 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I was contracting by night
00:05:58.157 --> 00:05:59.158 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and two weeks later
00:05:59.225 --> 00:06:00.226 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
my face went numb,
00:06:00.293 --> 00:06:01.861 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and my memory started to go.
00:06:01.928 --> 00:06:02.962 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
It took a year
00:06:03.029 --> 00:06:03.996 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to find out that
00:06:04.063 --> 00:06:05.031 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
that one day out
00:06:05.098 --> 00:06:06.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I was bitten by the deer tick
00:06:06.165 --> 00:06:07.100 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
unknowingly.
00:06:07.166 --> 00:06:08.534 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And what happened in my heart,
00:06:08.601 --> 00:06:09.836 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Lord, I mean the enemy,
00:06:09.902 --> 00:06:10.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
"I can get you any time
00:06:11.003 --> 00:06:12.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
anywhere
00:06:12.105 --> 00:06:13.106 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and God will never stop me."
00:06:13.172 --> 00:06:14.173 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
And so even
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:15.174 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
as a serious Christian
00:06:15.241 --> 00:06:16.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
that lie was embedded
00:06:16.275 --> 00:06:19.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
in my soul.
00:06:19.112 --> 00:06:20.279 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And something I had to wrestle
00:06:20.346 --> 00:06:21.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
through my whole life
00:06:21.347 --> 00:06:22.281 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
because this disease
00:06:22.348 --> 00:06:23.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
is wretched,
00:06:23.483 --> 00:06:24.550 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
as you say, James.
00:06:24.617 --> 00:06:25.685 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
So I've been here
00:06:25.752 --> 00:06:26.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
since I had a massive relapse.
00:06:27.053 --> 00:06:28.154 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I did pretty well
00:06:28.221 --> 00:06:29.188 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
for the last 20 years.
00:06:29.255 --> 00:06:30.356 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I've been able to manage it,
00:06:30.423 --> 00:06:31.557 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I'm a fighter, I want to live.
00:06:31.624 --> 00:06:32.658 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I have things I want to do.
00:06:32.725 --> 00:06:33.726 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
And probably,
00:06:33.793 --> 00:06:34.761 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
a handful of times a year
00:06:34.827 --> 00:06:35.828 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
I can't get out of bed.
00:06:35.895 --> 00:06:36.896 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
But then I get out of bed
00:06:36.963 --> 00:06:37.964 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
and I start swinging again.
00:06:38.030 --> 00:06:39.031 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
About eight years ago,
00:06:39.098 --> 00:06:40.099 align:start line:63% position:10% size:13%
I had
00:06:40.166 --> 00:06:41.167 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
a pretty terrible relapse.
00:06:41.234 --> 00:06:42.168 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
I was in my bathroom
00:06:42.235 --> 00:06:43.269 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
getting ready, I work in radio
00:06:43.336 --> 00:06:44.504 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
as a talk radio host,
00:06:44.570 --> 00:06:45.605 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and my arms went numb,
00:06:45.671 --> 00:06:46.806 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
my face, and my neck went numb
00:06:46.873 --> 00:06:48.040 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the room started to spin,
00:06:48.107 --> 00:06:49.475 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
a high pitch ringing
00:06:49.542 --> 00:06:50.510 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
in my ears,
00:06:50.576 --> 00:06:51.644 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and I'm going, no, God!
00:06:51.711 --> 00:06:52.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
No, God!
00:06:52.845 --> 00:06:53.946 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Please no, God!
00:06:54.013 --> 00:06:55.081 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And I hear him whisper,
00:06:55.148 --> 00:06:56.282 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
"The storms reveal
00:06:56.349 --> 00:06:57.483 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the lies we believe
00:06:57.550 --> 00:06:58.551 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and the truths we need."
00:06:58.618 --> 00:06:59.619 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I'm like, what?
00:06:59.685 --> 00:07:00.686 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
"The storms reveal
00:07:00.753 --> 00:07:01.754 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the lies we believe
00:07:01.821 --> 00:07:02.855 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and truths we need."
00:07:02.922 --> 00:07:03.890 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
What is the lie
00:07:03.956 --> 00:07:04.924 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
that I believe?
00:07:04.991 --> 00:07:05.958 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And at this point,
00:07:06.025 --> 00:07:07.026 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
my neck is going numb
00:07:07.093 --> 00:07:08.060 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and my esophagus
00:07:08.127 --> 00:07:09.095 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
is spasming so bad
00:07:09.162 --> 00:07:10.129 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I can't swallow.
00:07:10.196 --> 00:07:11.197 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
It was like the enemy
00:07:11.264 --> 00:07:12.265 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
had me by the throat
00:07:12.331 --> 00:07:13.299 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
up against the wall.
00:07:13.366 --> 00:07:14.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
And he says,
00:07:14.367 --> 00:07:15.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
"I can get to you any time,
00:07:15.434 --> 00:07:16.435 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
anywhere."
00:07:16.502 --> 00:07:17.470 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And there was the lie.
00:07:17.537 --> 00:07:18.538 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So I wrote a lot about that
00:07:18.604 --> 00:07:19.639 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in previous books.
00:07:19.705 --> 00:07:20.773 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
This book is about moving
00:07:20.840 --> 00:07:21.841 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
from bracing for impact
00:07:21.908 --> 00:07:22.875 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to anticipating
00:07:22.942 --> 00:07:23.943 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
God's goodness.
00:07:24.010 --> 00:07:25.077 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Because when you've had
00:07:25.144 --> 00:07:26.145 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
a lot of trauma and loss,
00:07:26.212 --> 00:07:27.213 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
it is easy to live that way.
00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:29.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And I really thought
00:07:29.282 --> 00:07:30.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
my locked elbows --
00:07:30.483 --> 00:07:31.984 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
like I still worshipped God,
00:07:32.051 --> 00:07:33.052 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I was in the word,
00:07:33.119 --> 00:07:34.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I serve him as best as I can.
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:35.922 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
I thought
00:07:35.988 --> 00:07:37.256 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
this bracing kind of posture
00:07:37.323 --> 00:07:38.524 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
was just a natural result
00:07:38.591 --> 00:07:41.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of some years of hardship
00:07:41.327 --> 00:07:42.929 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
but it was a mistrust of God.
00:07:42.995 --> 00:07:44.530 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
When I started to understand
00:07:44.597 --> 00:07:45.631 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
in the silent seasons,
00:07:45.698 --> 00:07:46.799 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in the active seasons
00:07:46.866 --> 00:07:48.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
he's the same God
00:07:48.134 --> 00:07:49.502 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and he is for us.
00:07:49.569 --> 00:07:50.703 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Even if you can't sense
00:07:50.770 --> 00:07:51.804 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
his presence,
00:07:51.871 --> 00:07:52.939 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
it is for our good.
00:07:53.005 --> 00:07:54.040 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So this book is all about
00:07:54.106 --> 00:07:55.174 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
understanding that
00:07:55.241 --> 00:07:56.475 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
you are tethered to a good God
00:07:56.542 --> 00:07:57.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
whether you feel him or not.
00:07:57.810 --> 00:07:59.011 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
So it's all
00:07:59.078 --> 00:08:00.179 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
about his presence.
00:08:00.246 --> 00:08:01.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
But I have to tell you,
00:08:01.280 --> 00:08:02.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
when I got the book back,
00:08:02.415 --> 00:08:03.449 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
when it was time
00:08:03.516 --> 00:08:04.517 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to read for the audiobook,
00:08:04.584 --> 00:08:05.651 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
it was a healing balm
00:08:05.718 --> 00:08:06.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
to my soul.
00:08:06.853 --> 00:08:07.887 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Because I'd already been
00:08:07.954 --> 00:08:08.955 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
through other battles
00:08:09.021 --> 00:08:10.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
with this health challenge
00:08:10.122 --> 00:08:11.123 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and it was just a reminder
00:08:11.190 --> 00:08:12.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that he is who he says he is
00:08:12.358 --> 00:08:13.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and he's going to do
00:08:13.426 --> 00:08:14.427 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
what he says he'll do.
00:08:14.493 --> 00:08:15.494 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
It doesn't mean we're exempt
00:08:15.561 --> 00:08:16.562 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
from really hard hard stuff
00:08:16.629 --> 00:08:17.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
but he's with us in the battle
00:08:17.697 --> 00:08:19.098 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and that means a lot.
00:08:19.165 --> 00:08:20.166 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
BETTY: I feel like
00:08:20.233 --> 00:08:21.334 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
listening to you,
00:08:21.400 --> 00:08:22.501 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
you said, it is a reminder.
00:08:22.568 --> 00:08:23.703 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
We need those reminders,
00:08:23.769 --> 00:08:24.937 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
don't we, in our life
00:08:25.004 --> 00:08:27.006 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
of how close he is to us?
00:08:27.073 --> 00:08:28.307 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
Because as far as church life,
00:08:28.374 --> 00:08:29.842 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
I had a similar deal.
00:08:29.909 --> 00:08:31.344 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
I was active in church,
00:08:31.410 --> 00:08:32.478 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
did all the right things,
00:08:32.545 --> 00:08:34.313 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
thought I had to prove
00:08:34.380 --> 00:08:37.683 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
my loyalty and my dedication
00:08:37.750 --> 00:08:38.784 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
until I met someone
00:08:38.851 --> 00:08:39.919 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that hadn't been in church
00:08:39.986 --> 00:08:40.987 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
at all
00:08:41.053 --> 00:08:42.088 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that had a real relationship
00:08:42.154 --> 00:08:43.089 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
with Jesus.
00:08:43.155 --> 00:08:44.223 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
And through him,
00:08:44.290 --> 00:08:45.625 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I came to know him.
00:08:45.691 --> 00:08:46.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
It made such a difference
00:08:46.859 --> 00:08:47.960 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
in my life.
00:08:48.027 --> 00:08:49.228 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
but there is more.
00:08:49.295 --> 00:08:50.763 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Accepting him, yes,
00:08:50.830 --> 00:08:52.064 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that's the first step.
00:08:52.131 --> 00:08:53.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
But there's more
00:08:53.232 --> 00:08:55.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
to knowing how to live for him
00:08:55.134 --> 00:08:56.936 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and with him in our hearts.
00:08:57.003 --> 00:08:57.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
SUSIE: He has so much more
00:08:58.004 --> 00:08:59.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
for us.
00:08:59.105 --> 00:09:00.072 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And one of the things I
00:09:00.139 --> 00:09:01.173 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
explore in the book
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:02.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
is what is the presence?
00:09:02.308 --> 00:09:03.309 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And is feeling good
00:09:03.376 --> 00:09:04.443 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the same as feeling God?
00:09:04.510 --> 00:09:05.544 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And what I've noticed
00:09:05.611 --> 00:09:06.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in scripture and people
00:09:06.913 --> 00:09:07.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I've interviewed
00:09:08.047 --> 00:09:09.148 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
in my own life,
00:09:09.215 --> 00:09:10.249 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
when you have
00:09:10.316 --> 00:09:11.417 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
a manifest present moment,
00:09:11.484 --> 00:09:12.518 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and I would guess this
00:09:12.585 --> 00:09:13.586 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
would be the same for you,
00:09:13.653 --> 00:09:14.687 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
when you point back
00:09:14.754 --> 00:09:15.788 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to real God encounters,
00:09:15.855 --> 00:09:16.822 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
where you're like,
00:09:16.889 --> 00:09:17.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
that was God,
00:09:18.024 --> 00:09:19.091 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I encountered him,
00:09:19.158 --> 00:09:20.326 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I often see that
00:09:20.393 --> 00:09:21.427 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
it is so often about lordship
00:09:21.494 --> 00:09:22.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
or it is about identity
00:09:22.628 --> 00:09:23.763 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
or it is about calling
00:09:23.829 --> 00:09:24.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
or an upgrade in faith.
00:09:24.964 --> 00:09:26.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
When God breaks through into
00:09:26.198 --> 00:09:27.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the natural circumstances,
00:09:27.266 --> 00:09:28.367 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
he's trying to bring
00:09:28.434 --> 00:09:29.502 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
a greater revelation
00:09:29.568 --> 00:09:30.569 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
of your identity
00:09:30.636 --> 00:09:31.637 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
or his lordship
00:09:31.704 --> 00:09:32.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
or the calling and purposes
00:09:32.838 --> 00:09:33.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
on your life.
00:09:33.940 --> 00:09:34.974 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
But when you encounter God
00:09:35.041 --> 00:09:36.075 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and it is so life-changing,
00:09:36.142 --> 00:09:37.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
you get a little panicky
00:09:37.443 --> 00:09:38.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
when you go through
00:09:38.644 --> 00:09:39.712 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
a silent season.
00:09:39.779 --> 00:09:40.780 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
Again,
00:09:40.846 --> 00:09:42.048 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that's one of the reasons
00:09:42.114 --> 00:09:43.182 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I wrote the book too,
00:09:43.249 --> 00:09:44.250 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
what do you do
00:09:44.317 --> 00:09:45.284 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
when you can't hear him,
00:09:45.351 --> 00:09:46.385 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
can't sense him?
00:09:46.452 --> 00:09:47.486 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Is he the same God?
00:09:47.553 --> 00:09:48.587 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
JAMES: I want us
00:09:48.654 --> 00:09:49.689 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to dwell on that
00:09:49.755 --> 00:09:50.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
in just a few minutes.
00:09:50.856 --> 00:09:51.891 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Let me ask you a question.
00:09:51.958 --> 00:09:53.759 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
From the time I was conscious
00:09:53.826 --> 00:09:55.661 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
as a toddler even,
00:09:55.728 --> 00:09:57.096 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I was under attack.
00:09:57.163 --> 00:09:59.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I was a hated being.
00:09:59.398 --> 00:10:00.499 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
I really do believe
00:10:00.566 --> 00:10:02.068 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
that the more you're aware
00:10:02.134 --> 00:10:03.636 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
that some force
00:10:03.703 --> 00:10:04.971 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
is coming at you,
00:10:05.037 --> 00:10:06.405 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
the more clearly
00:10:06.472 --> 00:10:08.774 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
you should understand
00:10:08.841 --> 00:10:10.476 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
God has a kingdom purpose
00:10:10.543 --> 00:10:11.644 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
for you;
00:10:11.711 --> 00:10:13.813 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
that you are divinely enabled,
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:15.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
supernaturally enabled
00:10:15.715 --> 00:10:16.849 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to accomplish
00:10:16.916 --> 00:10:18.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that actually frightens
00:10:18.751 --> 00:10:19.852 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
the enemy
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:21.253 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because he loses ground,
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:22.822 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
he loses people,
00:10:22.888 --> 00:10:24.323 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
he loses territory.
00:10:24.390 --> 00:10:25.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
He hates that
00:10:25.524 --> 00:10:26.726 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
so he hates any of us
00:10:26.792 --> 00:10:28.027 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
that have been
00:10:28.094 --> 00:10:29.795 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
especially gifted and chosen.
00:10:29.862 --> 00:10:31.497 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
He attacked you
00:10:31.564 --> 00:10:32.765 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
when he is attacking
00:10:32.832 --> 00:10:33.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
everybody out there.
00:10:34.033 --> 00:10:35.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But the enemy had hit me
00:10:35.134 --> 00:10:36.235 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
and hit me,
00:10:36.302 --> 00:10:37.370 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and I said something to him
00:10:37.436 --> 00:10:38.471 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
after he delivered
00:10:38.537 --> 00:10:40.272 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
a pretty severe blow.
00:10:40.339 --> 00:10:42.308 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I really did flip that on him.
00:10:42.375 --> 00:10:43.809 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
And I used it
00:10:43.876 --> 00:10:45.011 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
for the glory of God
00:10:45.077 --> 00:10:46.212 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to see people set free
00:10:46.278 --> 00:10:47.446 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in areas the enemy
00:10:47.513 --> 00:10:48.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
never would have believed
00:10:48.614 --> 00:10:49.782 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
he would watch happen.
00:10:49.849 --> 00:10:51.017 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Here's what I said to him,
00:10:51.083 --> 00:10:52.018 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and I just want to see
00:10:52.084 --> 00:10:53.219 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
if you bear witness with this.
00:10:53.285 --> 00:10:54.487 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I said, listen to me.
00:10:54.553 --> 00:10:56.589 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
And I'm talking to the devil!
00:10:56.655 --> 00:10:58.858 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Whatever you hit me with,
00:10:58.924 --> 00:11:00.059 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
whatever you hit
00:11:00.126 --> 00:11:01.193 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
my family with,
00:11:01.260 --> 00:11:02.428 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
you will regret it
00:11:02.495 --> 00:11:03.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
because I will use it
00:11:03.562 --> 00:11:04.663 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
as a club on you
00:11:04.730 --> 00:11:06.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to make you regret the day
00:11:07.033 --> 00:11:08.667 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
that you delivered that blow.
00:11:08.734 --> 00:11:09.702 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Does that make sense?
00:11:09.769 --> 00:11:11.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
SUSIE: One hundred percent,
00:11:11.270 --> 00:11:12.304 align:start line:85% position:10% size:13%
amen!
00:11:12.371 --> 00:11:13.406 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
One hundred percent.
00:11:13.472 --> 00:11:14.440 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
I will tell you,
00:11:14.507 --> 00:11:15.541 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
a lot of times they say
00:11:15.608 --> 00:11:16.575 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
when you have a passage
00:11:16.642 --> 00:11:17.610 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
that you keep defaulting to
00:11:17.676 --> 00:11:18.744 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
it is like a life script,
00:11:18.811 --> 00:11:19.779 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
you're just talking right now
00:11:19.845 --> 00:11:20.813 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
about Psalm 18
00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:21.914 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
because that's a passage
00:11:21.981 --> 00:11:23.015 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that speaks of going
00:11:23.082 --> 00:11:24.116 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
from victim to victor.
00:11:24.183 --> 00:11:25.184 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I didn't have
00:11:25.251 --> 00:11:26.285 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
a Christian context
00:11:26.352 --> 00:11:27.420 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
so all the stuff
00:11:27.486 --> 00:11:28.487 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that was happening to me,
00:11:28.554 --> 00:11:29.655 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
it was like I had the word
00:11:29.722 --> 00:11:31.057 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
but I remember God saying,
00:11:31.123 --> 00:11:32.324 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
are you a believer
00:11:32.391 --> 00:11:33.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
only because you've secured
00:11:33.426 --> 00:11:34.527 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
your eternity?
00:11:34.593 --> 00:11:35.995 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Or do you believe this stuff?
00:11:36.062 --> 00:11:37.096 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
When are you going
00:11:37.163 --> 00:11:38.130 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to shift your weight
00:11:38.197 --> 00:11:39.265 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
onto the promises
00:11:39.331 --> 00:11:40.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to see if they hold?
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:41.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And when I found Psalm 18,
00:11:41.534 --> 00:11:42.535 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the enemy confronted me
00:11:42.601 --> 00:11:43.602 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
on a day I was weakest.
00:11:43.669 --> 00:11:44.670 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
He does that.
00:11:44.737 --> 00:11:45.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
He goes and hits us
00:11:45.805 --> 00:11:46.806 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
when we're down,
00:11:46.872 --> 00:11:47.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and he fights personal,
00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:48.941 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and goes after those we love.
00:11:49.008 --> 00:11:51.444 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
But my cry reached his ears
00:11:51.510 --> 00:11:52.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and the Lord got so angry.
00:11:52.778 --> 00:11:53.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
This is the thing,
00:11:53.913 --> 00:11:54.914 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
he treats his children
00:11:54.980 --> 00:11:56.015 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
differently
00:11:56.082 --> 00:11:57.049 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
than those who don't fear
00:11:57.116 --> 00:11:58.217 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and revere him.
00:11:58.284 --> 00:11:59.351 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
He does.
00:11:59.418 --> 00:12:00.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Our cry reaches his ears.
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:01.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
And it says,
00:12:01.620 --> 00:12:02.822 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
he veiled his approach
00:12:02.888 --> 00:12:03.923 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in darkness.
00:12:03.989 --> 00:12:04.990 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
So we don't see him coming
00:12:05.057 --> 00:12:06.025 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
but neither does the enemy.
00:12:06.092 --> 00:12:07.159 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
He rescues us from on high
00:12:07.226 --> 00:12:08.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
because he delights in us.
00:12:08.327 --> 00:12:09.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
He puts us
00:12:09.361 --> 00:12:10.463 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in a spacious place.
00:12:10.529 --> 00:12:11.497 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
And I would say
00:12:11.564 --> 00:12:12.598 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in that place
00:12:12.665 --> 00:12:13.732 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
is where he heals us
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:14.867 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
but then he trains our hands
00:12:14.934 --> 00:12:16.001 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
for battle.
00:12:16.068 --> 00:12:17.036 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
He allows us to walk
00:12:17.103 --> 00:12:18.037 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
on high places.
00:12:18.104 --> 00:12:19.071 align:start line:63% position:10% size:20%
And then
00:12:19.138 --> 00:12:20.206 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
the rest of the Psalm,
00:12:20.272 --> 00:12:21.207 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
you chase the enemy down.
00:12:21.273 --> 00:12:22.241 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
You put your foot on his neck.
00:12:22.308 --> 00:12:23.342 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
And I'm telling you,
00:12:23.409 --> 00:12:24.410 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
when that enemy had me
00:12:24.477 --> 00:12:25.478 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
by the throat
00:12:25.544 --> 00:12:26.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
it was terrifying.
00:12:26.545 --> 00:12:27.480 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
For months,
00:12:27.546 --> 00:12:28.481 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
every time I looked down
00:12:28.547 --> 00:12:29.482 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
my esophagus would spasm.
00:12:29.548 --> 00:12:30.483 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
One time when I came
00:12:30.549 --> 00:12:31.484 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to be on your show,
00:12:31.550 --> 00:12:32.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I'd lost eight pounds
00:12:32.551 --> 00:12:33.486 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in eight days.
00:12:33.552 --> 00:12:34.587 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I was living on bites of food
00:12:34.653 --> 00:12:35.588 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because every time I ate
00:12:35.654 --> 00:12:36.589 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the spasms were so bad
00:12:36.655 --> 00:12:37.590 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and I didn't think
00:12:37.656 --> 00:12:38.591 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I was going to make it.
00:12:38.657 --> 00:12:39.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I almost canceled the flight.
00:12:39.658 --> 00:12:40.726 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
When I think of the ways
00:12:40.793 --> 00:12:41.827 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
that he has hit.
00:12:41.894 --> 00:12:42.895 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But that neck thing
00:12:42.962 --> 00:12:44.029 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
was so personal to me,
00:12:44.096 --> 00:12:45.030 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and when I read that
00:12:45.097 --> 00:12:46.031 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in the Psalms
00:12:46.098 --> 00:12:47.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
that your foot
00:12:47.099 --> 00:12:48.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
will be on his neck, I said
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:49.135 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
almost the exact same thing,
00:12:49.201 --> 00:12:50.136 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
James.
00:12:50.202 --> 00:12:51.137 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
I'm like
00:12:51.203 --> 00:12:52.171 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I'm going to make you sorry
00:12:52.238 --> 00:12:53.205 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
you ever messed with me.
00:12:53.272 --> 00:12:54.240 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Because everywhere
00:12:54.306 --> 00:12:55.274 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
you come against me,
00:12:55.341 --> 00:12:56.308 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
God wants to bless me.
00:12:56.375 --> 00:12:57.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And overwhelming victory
00:12:57.409 --> 00:12:58.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
belongs to me
00:12:58.444 --> 00:12:59.378 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because I belong to him.
00:12:59.445 --> 00:13:00.379 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
So let's do this.
00:13:00.446 --> 00:13:01.380 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And I feel that way.
00:13:01.447 --> 00:13:02.414 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I never say, bring it on,
00:13:02.481 --> 00:13:03.449 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
I don't.
00:13:03.516 --> 00:13:04.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
I fear God
00:13:04.517 --> 00:13:05.451 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I've seen enough,
00:13:05.518 --> 00:13:06.452 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I'm not asking,
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:07.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I'm not picking a fight
00:13:07.520 --> 00:13:08.454 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
but I'm not backing down
00:13:08.521 --> 00:13:09.455 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
either.
00:13:09.522 --> 00:13:10.456 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
JAMES: Yeah,
00:13:10.523 --> 00:13:11.490 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
you're not going to back down
00:13:11.557 --> 00:13:12.525 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
or bow down to him.
00:13:12.591 --> 00:13:13.526 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
You need to understand --
00:13:13.592 --> 00:13:14.527 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
I want all of you
00:13:14.593 --> 00:13:15.528 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
to know this.
00:13:15.594 --> 00:13:16.529 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
This program
00:13:16.595 --> 00:13:17.530 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
and the next program,
00:13:17.596 --> 00:13:18.531 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
you don't need to miss.
00:13:18.597 --> 00:13:19.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
This is for you.
00:13:19.598 --> 00:13:20.633 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
God is wanting to show you --
00:13:20.699 --> 00:13:21.967 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
how is it that we don't see
00:13:22.034 --> 00:13:23.235 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
how deeply he loves us
00:13:23.302 --> 00:13:26.438 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in the gift of his Son Jesus
00:13:26.505 --> 00:13:28.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
who took all of our sin,
00:13:28.207 --> 00:13:29.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
all of our shame,
00:13:29.308 --> 00:13:30.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
all of our failures,
00:13:30.442 --> 00:13:32.311 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
all of our guilt
00:13:32.378 --> 00:13:34.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and he died for us
00:13:34.647 --> 00:13:35.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
to cover it?
00:13:35.948 --> 00:13:37.016 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
And deliver us
00:13:37.082 --> 00:13:38.050 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
as far as the east is
00:13:38.117 --> 00:13:39.218 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
from the west
00:13:39.285 --> 00:13:40.386 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
from the eternal effects
00:13:40.452 --> 00:13:42.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
of that sin and that failure.
00:13:42.121 --> 00:13:43.589 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
He gave us life.
00:13:43.656 --> 00:13:44.690 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
It is the love of God
00:13:44.757 --> 00:13:45.691 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
that gave it.
00:13:45.758 --> 00:13:46.692 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
But it is so hard sometimes
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:47.726 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
for you to believe
00:13:47.793 --> 00:13:48.894 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
how much he loves you.
00:13:48.961 --> 00:13:50.162 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
You're going to come to see
00:13:50.229 --> 00:13:51.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
how much God loves you
00:13:51.964 --> 00:13:53.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and the very fact that
00:13:53.199 --> 00:13:54.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
you may have been attacked,
00:13:54.800 --> 00:13:56.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and you may be confused
00:13:56.101 --> 00:13:57.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
and puzzled
00:13:57.169 --> 00:13:58.537 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
about why things happen.
00:13:58.604 --> 00:14:00.105 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Because the enemy hates
00:14:00.172 --> 00:14:01.941 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
God's purpose in you.
00:14:02.007 --> 00:14:03.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And you've got to let
00:14:03.175 --> 00:14:04.276 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
the enemy know
00:14:04.343 --> 00:14:05.911 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God is going to succeed
00:14:05.978 --> 00:14:07.112 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
in my life
00:14:07.179 --> 00:14:08.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I'm going to live
00:14:08.347 --> 00:14:09.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and make an impact
00:14:09.415 --> 00:14:10.950 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
for his kingdom purpose.
00:14:11.016 --> 00:14:12.918 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
God's will can be done
00:14:12.985 --> 00:14:14.086 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
on his earth.
00:14:14.153 --> 00:14:15.221 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
And the church
00:14:15.287 --> 00:14:16.222 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
has got to believe that.
00:14:16.288 --> 00:14:17.389 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
That's the only way
00:14:17.456 --> 00:14:18.457 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
we're going to have a future.
00:14:18.524 --> 00:14:19.491 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
I want you
00:14:19.558 --> 00:14:20.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to kind of wrap this show
00:14:20.626 --> 00:14:22.461 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
with some sort of invitation
00:14:22.528 --> 00:14:23.662 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to the viewer
00:14:23.729 --> 00:14:25.164 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to move into a place
00:14:25.231 --> 00:14:26.332 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and we're going to talk
00:14:26.398 --> 00:14:28.500 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
very much about the accuser.
00:14:28.567 --> 00:14:29.735 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And how a lot of times
00:14:29.802 --> 00:14:30.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
when he says,
00:14:30.970 --> 00:14:31.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
we know we failed.
00:14:32.004 --> 00:14:34.173 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
A person who has ever met God,
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:35.941 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
has ever known grace
00:14:36.008 --> 00:14:37.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
regrets the fact
00:14:37.443 --> 00:14:38.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
that we do fail
00:14:38.777 --> 00:14:40.045 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and they don't realize
00:14:40.112 --> 00:14:41.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that the whole Bible
00:14:41.347 --> 00:14:42.915 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
was written by failed people.
00:14:42.982 --> 00:14:44.183 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And failing people,
00:14:44.250 --> 00:14:45.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
not perfect people!
00:14:45.818 --> 00:14:47.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I was praying the other day.
00:14:47.486 --> 00:14:48.821 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I said, Lord, what's the deal
00:14:48.887 --> 00:14:49.955 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
with all these people
00:14:50.022 --> 00:14:51.023 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that you use so mightily
00:14:51.090 --> 00:14:53.259 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and they fail so much?
00:14:53.325 --> 00:14:54.326 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
He said, you know I have
00:14:54.393 --> 00:14:55.461 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
a real problem with people
00:14:55.527 --> 00:14:56.562 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
who are self-righteous.
00:14:56.629 --> 00:14:57.696 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
All these failures don't have
00:14:57.763 --> 00:14:59.465 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
a self-righteous attitude.
00:14:59.531 --> 00:15:00.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
They know exactly
00:15:00.599 --> 00:15:01.600 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
where righteousness is
00:15:01.667 --> 00:15:02.668 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and who righteousness is.
00:15:02.735 --> 00:15:03.702 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
I said well,
00:15:03.769 --> 00:15:04.703 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
boy, that's for sure.
00:15:04.770 --> 00:15:05.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I don't have a problem
00:15:05.804 --> 00:15:06.839 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
with self-righteousness.
00:15:06.905 --> 00:15:07.973 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I know where it is
00:15:08.040 --> 00:15:09.074 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and I know my failure.
00:15:09.141 --> 00:15:10.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
So please, please, please
00:15:10.476 --> 00:15:11.410 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
give us a chance
00:15:11.477 --> 00:15:12.578 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to help you understand
00:15:12.645 --> 00:15:14.647 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that you can not only lean
00:15:14.713 --> 00:15:16.615 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
on God's shoulder,
00:15:16.682 --> 00:15:18.617 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you can be in his arms.
00:15:18.684 --> 00:15:20.452 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
He is the shelter
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.187 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
from every storm.
00:15:22.254 --> 00:15:25.057 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
But he also has a purpose
00:15:25.124 --> 00:15:27.893 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
of life and love and meaning
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:29.828 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to flow through you.
00:15:29.895 --> 00:15:31.163 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Share with our viewers
00:15:31.230 --> 00:15:32.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
what you hope they're hearing
00:15:32.464 --> 00:15:33.565 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
even in this program.
00:15:33.632 --> 00:15:34.700 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
SUSIE: Well,
00:15:34.767 --> 00:15:35.801 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
it's not that we love God,
00:15:35.868 --> 00:15:36.869 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
it is that he loved us
00:15:36.935 --> 00:15:37.936 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
and we have to know
00:15:38.003 --> 00:15:38.971 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
he loved us first
00:15:39.038 --> 00:15:40.105 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
and he loves us first
00:15:40.172 --> 00:15:41.273 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
every time.
00:15:41.340 --> 00:15:42.374 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
I will tell you,
00:15:42.441 --> 00:15:43.409 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
one of the revelations
00:15:43.475 --> 00:15:44.510 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
that came to me
00:15:44.576 --> 00:15:45.611 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
was in Psalm 106,
00:15:45.678 --> 00:15:46.645 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
it is the amplified version.
00:15:46.712 --> 00:15:47.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Because I want to learn
00:15:47.913 --> 00:15:48.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
from the Israelites' mistakes.
00:15:48.947 --> 00:15:50.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Because I've been so curious,
00:15:50.215 --> 00:15:51.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
feeling like
00:15:51.450 --> 00:15:52.484 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
we're an exiled people.
00:15:52.551 --> 00:15:53.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
So I'm like
00:15:53.552 --> 00:15:54.520 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
how did they get it wrong
00:15:54.586 --> 00:15:55.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
so I want to get it right?
00:15:55.621 --> 00:15:56.588 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
One of the things is
00:15:56.655 --> 00:15:57.623 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
they stopped listening
00:15:57.690 --> 00:15:58.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to God's voice.
00:15:58.724 --> 00:15:59.692 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And when you listen
00:15:59.758 --> 00:16:00.726 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to any other voice but God's,
00:16:00.793 --> 00:16:01.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
your heart
00:16:01.827 --> 00:16:02.795 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
will automatically harden.
00:16:02.861 --> 00:16:03.829 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
But Psalm 106
00:16:03.896 --> 00:16:04.863 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in the Amplified version
00:16:04.930 --> 00:16:05.898 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
there's a little
00:16:05.964 --> 00:16:06.932 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
nugget of wisdom for us.
00:16:06.999 --> 00:16:07.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
Three things
00:16:08.033 --> 00:16:09.001 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that they did wrong
00:16:09.068 --> 00:16:10.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that I think that we can do
00:16:10.102 --> 00:16:11.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that will change things
00:16:11.136 --> 00:16:12.104 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
for us.
00:16:12.171 --> 00:16:13.138 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
One, they forgot to marvel
00:16:13.205 --> 00:16:14.173 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and remember the significance
00:16:14.239 --> 00:16:15.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of God's miracles.
00:16:15.274 --> 00:16:16.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
So I say to you
00:16:16.308 --> 00:16:17.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that if you are waiting
00:16:17.309 --> 00:16:18.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for your miracle,
00:16:18.310 --> 00:16:19.244 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
pull the miracles
00:16:19.311 --> 00:16:20.245 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
from the scripture of old
00:16:20.312 --> 00:16:21.246 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and bring them
00:16:21.313 --> 00:16:22.247 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to the forefront
00:16:22.314 --> 00:16:23.248 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
because those
00:16:23.315 --> 00:16:24.249 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
are your miracles.
00:16:24.316 --> 00:16:25.250 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And I would dare say
00:16:25.317 --> 00:16:26.318 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
you've got some of your own
00:16:26.385 --> 00:16:27.319 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
testimonies from your history,
00:16:27.386 --> 00:16:28.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
bring those to the forefront,
00:16:28.387 --> 00:16:29.655 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and say this is the same God.
00:16:29.722 --> 00:16:30.656 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Because it broke God's heart
00:16:30.723 --> 00:16:31.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that they didn't remember
00:16:31.724 --> 00:16:32.658 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
or appreciate the significance
00:16:32.725 --> 00:16:33.659 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
of his miracles.
00:16:33.726 --> 00:16:34.660 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
Second,
00:16:34.727 --> 00:16:35.661 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
is they no longer marveled
00:16:35.728 --> 00:16:36.662 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
at his mercies,
00:16:36.729 --> 00:16:37.663 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the abundance of his mercies.
00:16:37.730 --> 00:16:38.664 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
And just as you were saying,
00:16:38.731 --> 00:16:39.665 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
James, all the things
00:16:39.732 --> 00:16:40.799 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that he's forgiven in us.
00:16:40.866 --> 00:16:41.934 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And the fact that he sends
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
new mercies to our door
00:16:43.135 --> 00:16:44.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
every morning
00:16:44.269 --> 00:16:45.371 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
before we even have a chance
00:16:45.437 --> 00:16:46.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to blow it, shows you
00:16:46.572 --> 00:16:47.673 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
how he's gone ahead of us.
00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:48.807 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
That should keep us
00:16:48.874 --> 00:16:49.942 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
perpetually in awe.
00:16:50.008 --> 00:16:51.276 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And the third mistake
00:16:51.343 --> 00:16:52.378 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
they made
00:16:52.444 --> 00:16:53.679 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is they didn't imprint
00:16:53.746 --> 00:16:54.813 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
God's loving kindness
00:16:54.880 --> 00:16:55.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
on their hearts.
00:16:55.881 --> 00:16:57.015 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
So I say, stay in awe
00:16:57.082 --> 00:16:58.484 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
by remembering his miracles,
00:16:58.550 --> 00:17:00.085 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
marvel at his mercies,
00:17:00.152 --> 00:17:01.253 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and keep rehearsing
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:02.421 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the fact that God is good.
00:17:02.488 --> 00:17:03.589 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
It will change your physiology
00:17:03.655 --> 00:17:04.757 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
it will change your brain,
00:17:04.823 --> 00:17:05.924 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
it will change
00:17:05.991 --> 00:17:07.993 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
your faith perspective.
00:17:09.061 --> 00:17:11.029 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
RANDY: I love Susie's insight.
00:17:11.096 --> 00:17:12.197 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
Oh, my goodness!
00:17:12.264 --> 00:17:13.432 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
For someone who has
00:17:13.499 --> 00:17:14.700 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
been through so much,
00:17:14.767 --> 00:17:16.702 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
she just has a depth
00:17:16.769 --> 00:17:19.738 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
and a hope that's just --
00:17:19.805 --> 00:17:21.373 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I love it. I love it!
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:22.674 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Okay, one more observation
00:17:22.741 --> 00:17:23.809 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I will say on that,
00:17:23.876 --> 00:17:24.977 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
when she talked about
00:17:25.043 --> 00:17:26.078 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the Israelites there.
00:17:26.145 --> 00:17:27.179 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
They did not,
00:17:27.246 --> 00:17:28.347 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
many of them did not reach
00:17:28.414 --> 00:17:29.481 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that Promised Land
00:17:29.548 --> 00:17:30.749 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
because they believed
00:17:30.816 --> 00:17:32.885 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the report of the majority.
00:17:32.951 --> 00:17:34.086 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Twelve spies were sent
00:17:34.153 --> 00:17:35.621 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
into that land,
00:17:35.687 --> 00:17:36.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
two came back and said,
00:17:36.789 --> 00:17:38.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
yeah, we can win.
00:17:38.123 --> 00:17:39.158 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Ten came back and said,
00:17:39.224 --> 00:17:40.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
nope, no chance!
00:17:40.626 --> 00:17:41.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I don't know what the report
00:17:41.827 --> 00:17:44.096 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
has been on your life
00:17:44.163 --> 00:17:45.297 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
but I'm here to tell you,
00:17:45.364 --> 00:17:46.465 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
if you listen
00:17:46.532 --> 00:17:47.533 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to the word from God,
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:48.634 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
and it may
00:17:48.700 --> 00:17:49.902 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
be in the minority,
00:17:49.968 --> 00:17:52.237 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
if you fight you will win.
00:17:52.304 --> 00:17:53.238 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
If you want someone
00:17:53.305 --> 00:17:54.740 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
to fight alongside you,
00:17:54.807 --> 00:17:56.041 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
and it will be a fight,
00:17:56.108 --> 00:17:57.109 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
by the way,
00:17:57.176 --> 00:17:58.343 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
you've got to fight to win,
00:17:58.410 --> 00:17:59.378 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
if you want somebody
00:17:59.445 --> 00:18:00.446 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
to fight with you,
00:18:00.512 --> 00:18:01.480 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
pick up that phone.
00:18:01.547 --> 00:18:02.548 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
We have people,
00:18:02.614 --> 00:18:03.649 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
prayer warriors,
00:18:03.715 --> 00:18:05.017 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
people that will just listen,
00:18:05.083 --> 00:18:06.385 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
will pray with you,
00:18:06.452 --> 00:18:07.786 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
will plead your case
00:18:07.853 --> 00:18:09.455 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
before God with you
00:18:09.521 --> 00:18:11.457 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
and help remind you
00:18:11.523 --> 00:18:13.425 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
that you're not alone.
00:18:13.492 --> 00:18:14.626 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
I don't know
00:18:14.693 --> 00:18:15.861 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
what your victory looks like,
00:18:15.928 --> 00:18:16.929 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
but God does,
00:18:16.995 --> 00:18:18.197 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
and he's already secured it.
00:18:18.263 --> 00:18:19.465 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
But you've got to get up.
00:18:19.531 --> 00:18:20.632 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
You've got to get up
00:18:20.699 --> 00:18:21.767 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
and fight and win.
00:18:21.834 --> 00:18:23.669 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
That's true all across life.
00:18:23.735 --> 00:18:24.837 align:start line:63% position:10% size:20%
We fight
00:18:24.903 --> 00:18:26.104 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
for our relationships,
00:18:26.171 --> 00:18:27.506 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
for our marriage,
00:18:27.573 --> 00:18:29.007 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
we fight for our health.
00:18:29.074 --> 00:18:30.476 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
Sometimes we fight
00:18:30.542 --> 00:18:31.810 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
for our sanity.
00:18:31.877 --> 00:18:34.313 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
We fight an enemy unseen.
00:18:34.379 --> 00:18:35.681 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
We fight an enemy seen.
00:18:35.747 --> 00:18:37.716 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
It is a fight, fight, fight.
00:18:37.783 --> 00:18:39.017 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
But again,
00:18:39.084 --> 00:18:41.520 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
with God on our side, we win.
00:18:41.587 --> 00:18:42.955 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
That's the promise.
00:18:43.021 --> 00:18:44.289 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
We know the back of the book.
00:18:44.356 --> 00:18:45.724 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
Speaking of books,
00:18:45.791 --> 00:18:46.959 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
if you want
00:18:47.025 --> 00:18:48.060 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
Closer Than Your Next Breath
00:18:48.126 --> 00:18:49.061 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
by Susie Larson,
00:18:49.127 --> 00:18:50.295 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
we would love
00:18:50.362 --> 00:18:51.396 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
to send it to you
00:18:51.463 --> 00:18:52.531 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
just to encourage you,
00:18:52.598 --> 00:18:53.665 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
to encourage you
00:18:53.732 --> 00:18:54.800 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
in your fight.
00:18:54.867 --> 00:18:55.834 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
We ask you to join us
00:18:55.901 --> 00:18:57.035 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
in another fight
00:18:57.102 --> 00:18:58.170 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
and that is the fight
00:18:58.237 --> 00:18:59.271 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
against malnutrition,
00:18:59.338 --> 00:19:00.539 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
the fight against hunger,
00:19:00.606 --> 00:19:01.773 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
oftentimes,
00:19:01.840 --> 00:19:03.876 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
the fight against death.
00:19:03.942 --> 00:19:05.010 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
We have partners in place
00:19:05.077 --> 00:19:06.144 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
right now around the world
00:19:06.211 --> 00:19:08.947 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
to help us in this fight,
00:19:09.014 --> 00:19:11.049 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
but we need you to join us.
00:19:11.116 --> 00:19:12.751 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
Watch this as we go
00:19:12.818 --> 00:19:13.919 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
to one of our mission partners
00:19:13.986 --> 00:19:15.087 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
fighting the fight
00:19:15.153 --> 00:19:16.255 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
in what we call
00:19:16.321 --> 00:19:18.524 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
Mission Feeding.
00:19:20.726 --> 00:19:22.661 align:start line:10% position:30% size:40%
In rural Africa,
00:19:22.728 --> 00:19:24.830 align:center line:10% position:50% size:60%
when families don't have
enough food to eat,
00:19:24.897 --> 00:19:27.799 align:center line:10% position:50% size:50%
it is the children
who suffer the most.
00:19:27.866 --> 00:19:30.669 align:start line:10% position:18% size:65%
Sub‑Saharan Africa has
the highest mortality rate
00:19:30.736 --> 00:19:32.671 align:center line:10% position:50% size:35%
than any place
in the world
00:19:32.738 --> 00:19:34.673 align:center line:10% position:50% size:55%
in children under five
00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:37.543 align:center line:10% position:50% size:45%
due to the effects
of malnutrition.
00:19:37.609 --> 00:19:39.578 align:start line:10% position:30% size:40%
But in the midst
of suffering,
00:19:39.645 --> 00:19:42.514 align:center line:10% position:50% size:43%
there are moments
to celebrate.
00:19:42.581 --> 00:19:44.516 align:start line:79% position:30% size:40%
ISAK: I want you
to meet Tereza.
00:19:44.583 --> 00:19:49.288 align:start line:58% position:30% size:40%
This young girl
just a month ago
00:19:49.354 --> 00:19:51.290 align:center line:58% position:50% size:48%
was in this
malnutrition clinic
00:19:51.356 --> 00:19:54.092 align:center line:58% position:50% size:45%
literally fighting
for her life.
00:19:54.159 --> 00:19:56.795 align:start line:74% position:23% size:53%
One of those children
where it is just
skin and bone,
00:19:56.862 --> 00:20:00.265 align:center line:79% position:50% size:65%
where it is a child that
has no life in their eyes,
00:20:00.332 --> 00:20:03.235 align:center line:79% position:50% size:75%
that literally,
we are doing everything we can
00:20:03.302 --> 00:20:05.237 align:center line:79% position:50% size:38%
to try and save
their life.
00:20:05.304 --> 00:20:09.074 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
And we knew with Tereza
like so many,
00:20:09.141 --> 00:20:12.344 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
that the chances
are not always there
00:20:12.411 --> 00:20:14.346 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
that we can actually
rescue their life.
00:20:14.413 --> 00:20:16.348 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
And yet, because of
Mission Feeding,
00:20:16.415 --> 00:20:18.350 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
because of being there
in this clinic,
00:20:18.417 --> 00:20:20.352 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
because of reaching
Tereza in time,
00:20:20.419 --> 00:20:22.354 align:center line:85% position:50% size:55%
here she stands today,
00:20:22.421 --> 00:20:24.356 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
a young girl
that is recovering,
00:20:24.423 --> 00:20:26.358 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
that is getting
her strength back
00:20:26.425 --> 00:20:29.895 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
and is able to now
continue living life.
00:20:29.962 --> 00:20:31.897 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
There are so many
in this country right now
00:20:31.964 --> 00:20:33.899 align:center line:79% position:50% size:33%
that we're
not reaching.
00:20:33.966 --> 00:20:35.901 align:start line:79% position:30% size:40%
Children out
in the villages.
00:20:35.968 --> 00:20:39.171 align:start line:79% position:18% size:65%
Mothers who are telling us
they can't get to clinics.
00:20:39.237 --> 00:20:41.273 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
That they don't have food
to feed their children.
00:20:41.340 --> 00:20:44.009 align:start line:79% position:28% size:45%
Children that look
like severe cases
00:20:44.076 --> 00:20:46.011 align:center line:85% position:50% size:58%
in malnutrition clinics
00:20:46.078 --> 00:20:48.013 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
that are right out there
in the villages.
00:20:48.080 --> 00:20:51.383 align:start line:79% position:25% size:50%
If we're not able
to reach them today,
00:20:51.450 --> 00:20:54.953 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
their story is not going
to end like Tereza's.
00:20:55.020 --> 00:20:57.155 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
We need you to do
everything you can do.
00:20:57.222 --> 00:21:00.359 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
We need
the friends of LIFE
00:21:00.425 --> 00:21:02.527 align:center line:79% position:50% size:45%
to open
their hearts today
00:21:02.594 --> 00:21:05.364 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
and give the very best gift
they can give
00:21:05.430 --> 00:21:08.266 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
because we have
to reach more children
00:21:08.333 --> 00:21:11.336 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
here in Angola
and save their lives.
00:21:14.239 --> 00:21:15.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
RANDY: I love seeing
00:21:15.507 --> 00:21:16.675 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the stories of children
00:21:16.742 --> 00:21:17.976 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that have benefited from
00:21:18.043 --> 00:21:19.277 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the Mission Feeding outreach.
00:21:19.344 --> 00:21:20.579 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I don't know if you noticed
00:21:20.646 --> 00:21:21.947 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
but in a lot of the pictures
00:21:22.014 --> 00:21:23.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
you'll see a little building
00:21:23.415 --> 00:21:26.718 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
behind the line of children.
00:21:26.785 --> 00:21:28.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
That's because education --
00:21:28.253 --> 00:21:29.421 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
those are school buildings --
00:21:29.488 --> 00:21:30.656 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
education is
00:21:30.722 --> 00:21:32.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a foundational part of
00:21:32.257 --> 00:21:33.525 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the Mission Feeding outreach.
00:21:33.592 --> 00:21:34.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
Typically,
00:21:34.826 --> 00:21:36.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
we feed in the schools.
00:21:36.094 --> 00:21:37.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
The children go to school,
00:21:37.496 --> 00:21:39.197 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
they get something to eat.
00:21:39.264 --> 00:21:40.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Why do we do that?
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:41.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Because Mission Feeding
00:21:41.967 --> 00:21:43.235 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
is not just about meeting
00:21:43.301 --> 00:21:44.603 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the immediate need,
00:21:44.670 --> 00:21:46.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
it does that,
00:21:46.104 --> 00:21:47.739 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
but it is also about building
00:21:47.806 --> 00:21:49.074 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
for a future.
00:21:49.141 --> 00:21:50.642 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
A future with a hope.
00:21:50.709 --> 00:21:52.044 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
And so, what we're doing here
00:21:52.110 --> 00:21:54.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
is a program with vision.
00:21:54.746 --> 00:21:57.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Over 350,000 children
00:21:57.282 --> 00:21:59.718 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
every single day on average
00:21:59.785 --> 00:22:01.520 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
receive that bowl
00:22:01.586 --> 00:22:02.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of nutritious soup,
00:22:02.988 --> 00:22:04.089 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and that is just to get them
00:22:04.156 --> 00:22:05.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
through the day.
00:22:05.691 --> 00:22:07.059 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Oftentimes, it is in areas
00:22:07.125 --> 00:22:09.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
where there has been a crisis,
00:22:09.127 --> 00:22:10.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
perhaps a famine,
00:22:10.495 --> 00:22:11.797 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
perhaps a flood,
00:22:11.863 --> 00:22:13.231 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
perhaps displacement
00:22:13.298 --> 00:22:14.533 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
from civil unrest.
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:16.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Whatever the situation,
00:22:16.134 --> 00:22:18.236 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
we go in and hold them over
00:22:18.303 --> 00:22:19.604 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
until they can get back
00:22:19.671 --> 00:22:20.906 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
on their feet
00:22:20.972 --> 00:22:22.240 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and can continue to build
00:22:22.307 --> 00:22:23.542 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for their future.
00:22:23.608 --> 00:22:24.943 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Now that's a great thing,
00:22:25.010 --> 00:22:26.178 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
I think.
00:22:26.244 --> 00:22:27.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
A lot of organizations
00:22:27.546 --> 00:22:28.914 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
will do this.
00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:30.048 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But let me tell you
00:22:30.115 --> 00:22:31.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a key difference.
00:22:31.450 --> 00:22:32.718 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
We do it
00:22:32.784 --> 00:22:34.119 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in the name of Jesus Christ.
00:22:34.186 --> 00:22:35.454 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Now, we don't
00:22:35.520 --> 00:22:36.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
have requirements.
00:22:36.788 --> 00:22:38.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
If you're hungry,
00:22:38.123 --> 00:22:39.357 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
that's really
00:22:39.424 --> 00:22:40.826 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the only requirement
00:22:40.892 --> 00:22:42.394 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to receive that bowl of food.
00:22:42.461 --> 00:22:43.795 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
But when you're around people,
00:22:43.862 --> 00:22:45.130 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
when you're saving
00:22:45.197 --> 00:22:46.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
people's lives,
00:22:46.431 --> 00:22:47.699 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
they know.
00:22:47.766 --> 00:22:48.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Sometimes they'll ask.
00:22:48.900 --> 00:22:50.168 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And sometimes we have
00:22:50.235 --> 00:22:51.503 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
opportunities to go in
00:22:51.570 --> 00:22:52.871 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
and preach
00:22:52.938 --> 00:22:54.106 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
just outright preach
00:22:54.172 --> 00:22:55.307 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the gospel to people.
00:22:55.373 --> 00:22:56.608 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
But we can always
00:22:56.675 --> 00:22:57.876 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
demonstrate it
00:22:57.943 --> 00:22:59.211 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
through those works.
00:22:59.277 --> 00:23:00.412 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
That's what we're inviting you
00:23:00.479 --> 00:23:01.813 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
to be a part of,
00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:03.148 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
to be the hands and feet
00:23:03.215 --> 00:23:04.449 align:start line:58% position:10% size:23%
of Jesus,
00:23:04.516 --> 00:23:05.684 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
to be the gospel
00:23:05.751 --> 00:23:06.918 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
in word and deed.
00:23:06.985 --> 00:23:08.353 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
Not just to tell people
00:23:08.420 --> 00:23:09.654 align:start line:58% position:10% size:30%
about Christ
00:23:09.721 --> 00:23:11.890 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
or tell them about his love
00:23:11.957 --> 00:23:13.291 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
but to show it
00:23:13.358 --> 00:23:16.094 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
to the people in need.
00:23:16.161 --> 00:23:17.462 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
That's why we want you
00:23:17.529 --> 00:23:18.864 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
to be a part of it.
00:23:18.930 --> 00:23:20.232 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
The more people participate,
00:23:20.298 --> 00:23:21.466 align:start line:58% position:10% size:20%
the more
00:23:21.533 --> 00:23:22.834 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
people are able to give,
00:23:22.901 --> 00:23:24.136 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
the more that we can reach.
00:23:24.202 --> 00:23:25.337 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
And believe me,
00:23:25.403 --> 00:23:26.538 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
the need is there.
00:23:26.605 --> 00:23:27.773 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
But I believe
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:28.907 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
the solution is there
00:23:28.974 --> 00:23:30.308 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
and I believe
00:23:30.375 --> 00:23:31.710 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
the solution is you.
00:23:31.777 --> 00:23:32.911 align:start line:58% position:10% size:25%
Right now,
00:23:32.978 --> 00:23:34.112 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
the situation is critical.
00:23:34.179 --> 00:23:35.447 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
Children are dying in clinics,
00:23:35.514 --> 00:23:37.048 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
and they don't need to.
00:23:37.115 --> 00:23:38.483 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
We need to reach them
00:23:38.550 --> 00:23:39.918 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
before they get to that point,
00:23:39.985 --> 00:23:41.419 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
before they get to the clinic.
00:23:41.486 --> 00:23:43.088 align:start line:58% position:10% size:20%
We do it
00:23:43.155 --> 00:23:44.156 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
through your participation.
00:23:44.222 --> 00:23:45.724 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
We do it through $30
00:23:45.791 --> 00:23:47.159 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
that helps feed three children
00:23:47.225 --> 00:23:48.460 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
for the next three months.
00:23:48.527 --> 00:23:50.562 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
A gift of $50 feeds five.
00:23:50.629 --> 00:23:52.297 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%

just for the next few months.
