John Bevere
00:00:14.481 --> 00:00:16.416 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
explains how
the fear of the Lord
00:00:16.483 --> 00:00:18.418 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
gives you
everyday courage
00:00:18.485 --> 00:00:21.721 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
by swallowing up
all other fear
in your life.

So, I walk up
and it's a massive crowd.
00:00:28.261 --> 00:00:30.196 align:start line:63% position:25% size:48%
I said,"What do you

RANDY: Welcome to LIFE Today!
00:00:55.188 --> 00:00:56.456 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
I'm Randy Robison.
00:00:56.523 --> 00:00:57.824 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
I'm so excited to have
00:00:57.891 --> 00:00:59.926 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
John Bevere back with me.
00:00:59.993 --> 00:01:01.761 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
We're going to talk about
00:01:01.828 --> 00:01:02.862 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
some really good things.
00:01:02.929 --> 00:01:03.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
But John, welcome back.
00:01:04.030 --> 00:01:05.064 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
JOHN: It's an honor
00:01:05.131 --> 00:01:06.166 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to be back, Randy.
00:01:06.232 --> 00:01:07.267 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I love being with you.
00:01:07.333 --> 00:01:08.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
RANDY: So last time
00:01:08.435 --> 00:01:09.736 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
it was just you and me.
00:01:09.803 --> 00:01:10.837 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We were talking about
00:01:10.904 --> 00:01:11.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
The Awe of God.
00:01:12.005 --> 00:01:13.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Out of that you have
00:01:13.106 --> 00:01:14.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
a new devotional called
00:01:14.207 --> 00:01:15.241 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Everyday Courage.
00:01:15.308 --> 00:01:16.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
JOHN: It is a spinoff
00:01:16.443 --> 00:01:17.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
but about 70% of the material
00:01:17.544 --> 00:01:18.912 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
is fresh, new, and is not in
00:01:18.978 --> 00:01:20.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
The Awe of God.
00:01:20.613 --> 00:01:22.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
RANDY: So, the biggest thing,
00:01:22.449 --> 00:01:24.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I think, that you really set
00:01:24.751 --> 00:01:26.486 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
sort of straight
00:01:26.553 --> 00:01:29.589 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
is this idea of fear.
00:01:29.656 --> 00:01:31.424 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Because it can be
00:01:31.491 --> 00:01:32.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
a little confusing.
00:01:32.659 --> 00:01:33.693 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
JOHN: It can.
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:34.727 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
RANDY: Jesus shows up
00:01:34.794 --> 00:01:35.795 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and says, "Fear not."
00:01:35.862 --> 00:01:36.996 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Angels show up and say,
00:01:37.063 --> 00:01:38.064 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
"Fear not."
00:01:38.131 --> 00:01:39.265 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
The Bible says, "Fear is
00:01:39.332 --> 00:01:40.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the beginning of wisdom."
00:01:40.467 --> 00:01:41.601 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
The fear of the Lord this --
00:01:41.668 --> 00:01:43.203 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
what is it on fear?
00:01:43.269 --> 00:01:44.537 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
JOHN: Here is where
00:01:44.604 --> 00:01:45.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
we went wrong.
00:01:45.805 --> 00:01:47.941 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
In the 1990s and before that,
00:01:48.007 --> 00:01:49.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
we tried to totally
00:01:49.209 --> 00:01:50.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
eliminate fear.
00:01:50.310 --> 00:01:52.011 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
Remember even F.D.R. said,
00:01:52.078 --> 00:01:53.146 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
"The only thing
00:01:53.213 --> 00:01:54.314 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
we have to fear
00:01:54.380 --> 00:01:55.448 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
is fear itself."
00:01:55.515 --> 00:01:56.683 align:start line:63% position:10% size:13%
Well,
00:01:56.749 --> 00:01:58.518 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
I'd like to challenge that.
00:01:58.585 --> 00:01:59.652 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
There are unhealthy fears
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:00.787 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and there are healthy fears.
00:02:00.854 --> 00:02:01.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
An unhealthy fear
00:02:01.988 --> 00:02:03.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
is absolutely what we want
00:02:03.122 --> 00:02:04.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
out of our life.
00:02:04.257 --> 00:02:05.325 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
The healthy fear is,
00:02:05.391 --> 00:02:06.426 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
let me give you an example:
00:02:06.493 --> 00:02:07.594 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Fear produces wisdom.
00:02:07.660 --> 00:02:08.828 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
The fear of me
00:02:08.895 --> 00:02:11.097 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
not getting mauled
00:02:11.164 --> 00:02:12.932 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
by a mother grizzly bear
00:02:12.999 --> 00:02:14.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
will give me the wisdom
00:02:14.801 --> 00:02:15.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to not mess with her cubs
00:02:16.035 --> 00:02:17.270 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in front of her.
00:02:17.337 --> 00:02:19.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
That is not an unhealthy fear.
00:02:19.105 --> 00:02:21.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Now it can turn unhealthy
00:02:21.207 --> 00:02:22.275 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
because I'm going to go,
00:02:22.342 --> 00:02:23.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I'm not even going
00:02:23.409 --> 00:02:24.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to walk in the woods
00:02:24.444 --> 00:02:25.545 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
because I might get mauled
00:02:25.612 --> 00:02:26.679 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
by a bear.
00:02:26.746 --> 00:02:27.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
So, what we want
00:02:27.947 --> 00:02:28.948 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to eliminate from our life
00:02:29.015 --> 00:02:30.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is all unhealthy fear.
00:02:30.216 --> 00:02:32.452 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
What the church fathers taught
00:02:32.519 --> 00:02:34.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
for 2,000 years,
00:02:34.721 --> 00:02:35.989 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I don't know why,
00:02:36.055 --> 00:02:37.323 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
but in our generation,
00:02:37.390 --> 00:02:38.791 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
it stopped,
00:02:38.858 --> 00:02:41.027 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
is they taught the only way
00:02:41.094 --> 00:02:42.362 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
to eradicate
00:02:42.428 --> 00:02:43.930 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
all unhealthy fear
00:02:43.997 --> 00:02:45.431 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
is to fear God.
00:02:45.498 --> 00:02:46.766 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Now this is what
00:02:46.833 --> 00:02:48.167 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Jesus taught us.
00:02:48.234 --> 00:02:49.369 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
He said, "Don't fear those
00:02:49.435 --> 00:02:50.570 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that can kill the body.
00:02:50.637 --> 00:02:51.971 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
But fear him who
00:02:52.038 --> 00:02:53.239 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
after he's killed the body
00:02:53.306 --> 00:02:54.774 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
can cast the soul into hell."
00:02:54.841 --> 00:02:55.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
Now listen
00:02:56.042 --> 00:02:57.143 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to what he goes on to say
00:02:57.210 --> 00:02:58.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
two verses later.
00:02:58.411 --> 00:02:59.512 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
He said,
00:02:59.579 --> 00:03:00.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
"Fear not little flock,
00:03:00.747 --> 00:03:01.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
you're more valuable
00:03:01.915 --> 00:03:02.949 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to your Father
00:03:03.016 --> 00:03:04.083 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
than sparrows."
00:03:04.150 --> 00:03:05.184 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Wait a minute!
00:03:05.251 --> 00:03:06.386 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Jesus told me to fear God,
00:03:06.452 --> 00:03:07.487 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
then he says, "Fear not."
00:03:07.554 --> 00:03:08.488 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
He's differentiating
00:03:08.555 --> 00:03:09.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
right there in Luke 12
00:03:09.789 --> 00:03:11.424 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
between being scared of God
00:03:11.491 --> 00:03:12.525 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and the fear of God.
00:03:12.592 --> 00:03:13.693 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
So, the first thing
00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:14.761 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
we need to say
00:03:14.827 --> 00:03:15.795 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
is the fear of God
00:03:15.862 --> 00:03:16.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
is not to be scared of God.
00:03:17.030 --> 00:03:18.131 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Because how can we have
00:03:18.197 --> 00:03:19.933 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
a relationship with someone
00:03:19.999 --> 00:03:21.501 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
if we're afraid of them?
00:03:21.568 --> 00:03:23.803 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And this is what I love.
00:03:23.870 --> 00:03:25.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God's number one desire
00:03:25.572 --> 00:03:27.840 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
for every one of us,
00:03:27.907 --> 00:03:29.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
every one of you listening,
00:03:29.175 --> 00:03:31.077 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
God's number one desire
00:03:31.144 --> 00:03:32.312 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
is to be intimate with you.
00:03:32.378 --> 00:03:33.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
In fact, he wants to be
00:03:33.580 --> 00:03:34.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
intimate with you
00:03:34.948 --> 00:03:36.049 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
more than you want to be
00:03:36.115 --> 00:03:37.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
with him.
00:03:37.283 --> 00:03:38.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So why would he want you
00:03:38.451 --> 00:03:39.552 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to be scared of him?
00:03:39.619 --> 00:03:41.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
So, we've got to start there.
00:03:41.621 --> 00:03:42.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I think what happens is
00:03:42.956 --> 00:03:44.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
people see when they read
00:03:44.257 --> 00:03:46.059 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
The Awe of God, oh wow!
00:03:46.125 --> 00:03:47.193 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
I stayed away
00:03:47.260 --> 00:03:48.194 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
from the fear of the Lord
00:03:48.261 --> 00:03:49.329 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
because I thought
00:03:49.395 --> 00:03:50.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
perfected love casts out fear.
00:03:50.563 --> 00:03:51.598 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
You were confusing
00:03:51.664 --> 00:03:52.599 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
a spirit of fear
00:03:52.665 --> 00:03:53.666 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
with the fear of the Lord.
00:03:53.733 --> 00:03:54.667 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
The fear of the Lord
00:03:54.734 --> 00:03:55.802 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
gives you wisdom.
00:03:55.868 --> 00:03:56.936 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
The fear of the Lord
00:03:57.003 --> 00:03:58.004 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
prolongs life.
00:03:58.071 --> 00:03:59.138 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
The fear of the Lord
00:03:59.205 --> 00:04:00.306 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
gives you a length of days.
00:04:00.373 --> 00:04:01.374 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
The fear of the Lord
00:04:01.441 --> 00:04:02.408 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
gives you security.
00:04:02.475 --> 00:04:03.509 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
It frees you
00:04:03.576 --> 00:04:04.677 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
from all other unhealthy fears
00:04:04.744 --> 00:04:07.146 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
including the biggest one,
00:04:07.213 --> 00:04:09.782 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
the fear of man.
00:04:09.849 --> 00:04:10.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
RANDY: Even bigger
00:04:10.950 --> 00:04:11.918 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
than the fear of death.
00:04:11.985 --> 00:04:13.019 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
JOHN: Bigger than
00:04:13.086 --> 00:04:14.087 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the fear of death.
00:04:14.153 --> 00:04:15.154 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
When you walk
00:04:15.221 --> 00:04:16.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
in the fear of God
00:04:16.255 --> 00:04:17.223 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
you no longer fear death.
00:04:17.290 --> 00:04:18.324 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
You no longer fear
00:04:18.391 --> 00:04:19.392 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
what do people think about me.
00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:20.526 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
It is very freeing
00:04:20.593 --> 00:04:21.794 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and it is very wonderful.
00:04:21.861 --> 00:04:23.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
That's why Psalm 112 says,
00:04:23.563 --> 00:04:25.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Randy, "Happy are those
00:04:25.465 --> 00:04:26.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
who fear the Lord,
00:04:26.599 --> 00:04:28.334 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
who delight
00:04:28.401 --> 00:04:29.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in obeying his commands."
00:04:30.036 --> 00:04:31.104 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
There is a lot revealed
00:04:31.170 --> 00:04:32.238 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in there more than what
00:04:32.305 --> 00:04:33.973 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the eye sees on the surface.
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.142 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Paul makes this statement.
00:04:36.209 --> 00:04:37.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
He says,
00:04:37.443 --> 00:04:38.544 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
"As you have always obeyed,
00:04:38.611 --> 00:04:39.679 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
not only in my presence
00:04:39.746 --> 00:04:40.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
but in my absence also,
00:04:41.047 --> 00:04:42.115 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
work out your salvation
00:04:42.181 --> 00:04:43.249 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
with fear and trembling."
00:04:43.316 --> 00:04:44.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Isn't it interesting?
00:04:44.517 --> 00:04:45.652 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
He didn't say
00:04:45.718 --> 00:04:46.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
work out your salvation
00:04:46.853 --> 00:04:48.087 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
with love and kindness.
00:04:48.154 --> 00:04:49.355 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
The next statement
00:04:49.422 --> 00:04:50.556 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
is the clue:
00:04:50.623 --> 00:04:52.692 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
"For it's God who works in you
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:54.027 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
both to will and to do
00:04:54.093 --> 00:04:55.495 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of his good pleasure."
00:04:55.561 --> 00:04:56.729 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
The fear of the Lord
00:04:56.796 --> 00:04:58.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
actually gives you a desire
00:04:59.032 --> 00:05:00.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
to obey God.
00:05:00.466 --> 00:05:01.701 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
It is supernatural
00:05:01.768 --> 00:05:02.869 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
because it is one
00:05:02.935 --> 00:05:04.037 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
of the manifestations
00:05:04.103 --> 00:05:05.271 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
of God's Holy Spirit.
00:05:05.338 --> 00:05:07.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And Isaiah 11, verse three,
00:05:07.206 --> 00:05:08.474 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
if you want to check up on it,
00:05:08.541 --> 00:05:11.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
it is what Jesus delighted in.
00:05:11.944 --> 00:05:13.379 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
So, it actually says,
00:05:13.446 --> 00:05:14.714 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
"Jesus delighted
00:05:14.781 --> 00:05:15.948 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in the fear of the Lord."
00:05:16.015 --> 00:05:17.417 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
So, it's God's treasure
00:05:17.483 --> 00:05:18.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
according to
00:05:18.685 --> 00:05:19.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Isaiah 33, verse six,
00:05:19.852 --> 00:05:20.887 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that actually gives us
00:05:20.953 --> 00:05:21.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
the desire.
00:05:22.055 --> 00:05:23.089 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So, if you ever meet people
00:05:23.156 --> 00:05:24.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that yeah, I go to church.
00:05:25.024 --> 00:05:27.093 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Yeah, I'm a Christian.
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:28.194 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
They have no joy
00:05:28.261 --> 00:05:29.228 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in their life.
00:05:29.295 --> 00:05:30.430 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Why don't they have any joy?
00:05:30.496 --> 00:05:31.497 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Because they don't have
00:05:31.564 --> 00:05:32.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
the fear of God.
00:05:32.699 --> 00:05:33.700 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
You can be a Christian
00:05:33.766 --> 00:05:34.767 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and not have
00:05:34.834 --> 00:05:35.835 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the fear of the Lord.
00:05:35.902 --> 00:05:36.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
They have no joy
00:05:36.969 --> 00:05:37.970 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in their life
00:05:38.037 --> 00:05:39.038 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
because they don't walk
00:05:39.105 --> 00:05:40.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in the fear of the Lord.
00:05:40.206 --> 00:05:41.240 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
The person who fears the Lord
00:05:41.307 --> 00:05:42.341 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the Lord is working in them
00:05:42.408 --> 00:05:43.443 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
not only the ability
00:05:43.509 --> 00:05:44.544 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
to obey him
00:05:44.610 --> 00:05:45.645 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
but the desire to obey him.
00:05:45.712 --> 00:05:46.746 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
So, now obeying God's commands
00:05:46.813 --> 00:05:47.847 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
become my delight,
00:05:47.914 --> 00:05:48.948 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
it is not drudgery,
00:05:49.015 --> 00:05:50.049 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
it is not out of compulsion,
00:05:50.116 --> 00:05:51.150 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
it is not out of the fact
00:05:51.217 --> 00:05:52.251 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that I have to obey God.
00:05:52.318 --> 00:05:53.953 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I get to obey God
00:05:54.020 --> 00:05:55.188 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
because there is
00:05:55.254 --> 00:05:56.255 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
a desire to do it.
00:05:56.322 --> 00:05:57.990 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
RANDY: Okay. Boy!
00:05:58.057 --> 00:05:59.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
There is a lot there.
00:05:59.158 --> 00:06:00.893 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
[Laughing]
00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:04.430 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
You know, part of the issue
00:06:04.497 --> 00:06:05.465 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
that I think
00:06:05.531 --> 00:06:06.632 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
a lot of people have,
00:06:06.699 --> 00:06:07.800 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
and I know
00:06:07.867 --> 00:06:08.968 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
a lot of the churches
00:06:09.035 --> 00:06:10.636 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
foster this, is what I call
00:06:10.703 --> 00:06:13.473 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
a "New Testament legalism."
00:06:13.539 --> 00:06:14.540 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Don't do this.
00:06:14.607 --> 00:06:15.575 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Don't touch this.
00:06:15.641 --> 00:06:16.676 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Don't taste that,
00:06:16.743 --> 00:06:17.810 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the scripture says.
00:06:17.877 --> 00:06:19.579 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
I hate it.
00:06:19.645 --> 00:06:20.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I kind of rebelled
00:06:21.047 --> 00:06:22.081 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
against it --
00:06:22.148 --> 00:06:23.182 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
JOHN: God hates it too.
00:06:23.249 --> 00:06:25.151 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So, you're in good company.
00:06:25.218 --> 00:06:27.186 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
RANDY: When you just have
00:06:27.253 --> 00:06:28.488 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that perspective, you can be
00:06:28.554 --> 00:06:30.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
a little rebellious.
00:06:30.123 --> 00:06:31.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Here is the realization,
00:06:31.257 --> 00:06:32.358 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and I think,
00:06:32.425 --> 00:06:33.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
tell me if I'm wrong,
00:06:33.526 --> 00:06:34.594 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
this is what
00:06:34.660 --> 00:06:35.795 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
you're leading to.
00:06:35.862 --> 00:06:36.896 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Because okay,
00:06:36.963 --> 00:06:38.164 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I grew up in Texas.
00:06:38.231 --> 00:06:39.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We have rattlesnakes,
00:06:39.365 --> 00:06:40.500 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
especially down
00:06:40.566 --> 00:06:41.634 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
in south Texas.
00:06:41.701 --> 00:06:43.736 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
They have festivals
00:06:43.803 --> 00:06:44.837 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
where they round them up
00:06:44.904 --> 00:06:46.038 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
and put them in a pit
00:06:46.105 --> 00:06:48.941 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
and you can go see it.
00:06:49.008 --> 00:06:50.076 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
Do you want
00:06:50.143 --> 00:06:51.210 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
to get in that pit?
00:06:51.277 --> 00:06:52.311 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
JOHN: No way!
00:06:52.378 --> 00:06:53.446 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
RANDY: No way!
00:06:53.513 --> 00:06:54.480 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
And is it because
00:06:54.547 --> 00:06:55.548 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
there is a sign that says,
00:06:55.615 --> 00:06:56.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
"Don't get in this pit!"
00:06:56.949 --> 00:06:57.984 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
No, it is because
00:06:58.050 --> 00:06:59.185 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
you have a healthy fear.
00:06:59.252 --> 00:07:00.787 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
Right?
00:07:00.853 --> 00:07:04.557 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I don't want to sin
00:07:04.624 --> 00:07:05.825 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
not because someone says
00:07:05.892 --> 00:07:07.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
don't do that,
00:07:07.326 --> 00:07:08.661 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
but because I've developed,
00:07:08.728 --> 00:07:10.363 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I think somewhat
00:07:10.429 --> 00:07:11.798 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
of a healthy fear of the Lord.
00:07:11.864 --> 00:07:12.899 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
In other words,
00:07:12.965 --> 00:07:14.033 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
why would I want to do that?
00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:15.234 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Why would I get in the --
00:07:15.301 --> 00:07:16.335 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
JOHN: Why would you want
00:07:16.402 --> 00:07:17.470 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to separate yourself
00:07:17.537 --> 00:07:18.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
from life itself?
00:07:18.805 --> 00:07:19.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Why would you want to --
00:07:19.939 --> 00:07:21.007 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
RANDY: It doesn't make sense.
00:07:21.073 --> 00:07:22.108 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
JOHN: It doesn't.
00:07:22.175 --> 00:07:23.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
It doesn't at all.
00:07:23.276 --> 00:07:24.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
You know, Randy,
00:07:24.443 --> 00:07:25.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
it's a really sad thing
00:07:25.778 --> 00:07:26.979 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
because the Bible says
00:07:27.046 --> 00:07:28.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the strength of sin
00:07:28.214 --> 00:07:29.248 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
is the law.
00:07:29.315 --> 00:07:30.316 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
In other words,
00:07:30.383 --> 00:07:31.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
sin gets its strength
00:07:31.417 --> 00:07:32.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
from the law.
00:07:32.552 --> 00:07:33.519 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
What's the law?
00:07:33.586 --> 00:07:34.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
I have to,
00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:35.822 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
not I get to.
00:07:35.888 --> 00:07:36.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
If you look at Balaam,
00:07:36.956 --> 00:07:39.425 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
Balaam said,
00:07:39.492 --> 00:07:41.861 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
"I cannot go beyond the word
00:07:41.928 --> 00:07:42.962 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
of the Lord, my God
00:07:43.029 --> 00:07:44.096 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to do less or more
00:07:44.163 --> 00:07:45.164 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to the people
00:07:45.231 --> 00:07:46.265 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that came from Midian,"
00:07:46.332 --> 00:07:47.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
who offered him a lot of money
00:07:47.466 --> 00:07:48.534 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to come and curse Israel.
00:07:48.601 --> 00:07:49.602 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
He said, "I can't."
00:07:49.669 --> 00:07:50.736 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
He didn't say, "I will not."
00:07:50.803 --> 00:07:52.004 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
He said, "I cannot."
00:07:52.071 --> 00:07:53.172 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
He's being restrained
00:07:53.239 --> 00:07:54.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
by the word of the Lord.
00:07:54.507 --> 00:07:55.741 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
So how many people
00:07:55.808 --> 00:07:56.976 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
are out there
00:07:57.043 --> 00:07:58.144 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that the word of the Lord
00:07:58.211 --> 00:07:59.345 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
is their restraint,
00:07:59.412 --> 00:08:00.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
not their delight?
00:08:00.546 --> 00:08:01.614 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Why do they feel like
00:08:01.681 --> 00:08:02.748 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
the Word of God restrains them
00:08:02.815 --> 00:08:03.850 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
from the good life,
00:08:03.916 --> 00:08:04.951 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
the fun life?
00:08:05.017 --> 00:08:06.252 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
It is because
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:07.486 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
their desires are warped
00:08:07.553 --> 00:08:08.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
because they don't have
00:08:08.721 --> 00:08:09.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the holy fear of God in them
00:08:09.789 --> 00:08:11.424 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that gives them the delight
00:08:11.490 --> 00:08:13.626 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of his word and his ways.
00:08:13.693 --> 00:08:14.694 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
RANDY: Because
00:08:14.760 --> 00:08:15.761 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the Bible also says as law
00:08:15.828 --> 00:08:16.829 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
evil may never be.
00:08:16.896 --> 00:08:17.930 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Law has a function.
00:08:17.997 --> 00:08:18.998 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
But it is for evil people.
00:08:19.065 --> 00:08:20.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
Right?
00:08:20.166 --> 00:08:21.200 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
And when you have
00:08:21.267 --> 00:08:22.368 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the fear of the Lord,
00:08:22.435 --> 00:08:23.436 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
you're not bound in the sense
00:08:23.502 --> 00:08:24.604 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
by the law
00:08:24.670 --> 00:08:25.905 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
because you're bound by --
00:08:25.972 --> 00:08:27.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
JOHN: They're written
00:08:27.206 --> 00:08:28.274 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
on the tablet of your heart.
00:08:28.341 --> 00:08:29.709 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Now you have this desire.
00:08:29.775 --> 00:08:31.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
It is a joy.
00:08:31.377 --> 00:08:35.114 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And so, I just believe
00:08:35.181 --> 00:08:36.249 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
the reason
00:08:36.315 --> 00:08:37.283 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Jesus delighted in it
00:08:37.350 --> 00:08:38.484 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
is because what
00:08:38.551 --> 00:08:39.619 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the Father asked him to do,
00:08:39.685 --> 00:08:40.920 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
think about it, it was
00:08:40.987 --> 00:08:42.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
the most brutal gruesome death
00:08:42.121 --> 00:08:43.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
a human being
00:08:43.256 --> 00:08:44.323 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
could live through.
00:08:44.390 --> 00:08:47.393 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
He was so brutally tortured.
00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:48.661 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Yet who for the joy
00:08:48.728 --> 00:08:50.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
set before him endured it.
00:08:51.030 --> 00:08:52.231 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So, there is a joy in there
00:08:52.298 --> 00:08:53.432 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
that is produced
00:08:53.499 --> 00:08:54.533 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
by the fear of the Lord.
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:55.635 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
This is the missing thing.
00:08:55.701 --> 00:08:56.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
People are like, I wish
00:08:56.969 --> 00:08:58.371 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I had more joy in my life.
00:08:58.437 --> 00:09:00.339 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Check up on your level
00:09:00.406 --> 00:09:03.609 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of your holy fear of God.
00:09:03.676 --> 00:09:04.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
RANDY: How do I do that?
00:09:05.011 --> 00:09:06.012 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
JOHN: How do you do that?
00:09:06.078 --> 00:09:07.146 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Well, there is two ways
00:09:07.213 --> 00:09:08.247 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
the fear of God
00:09:08.314 --> 00:09:09.415 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
is assimilated
00:09:09.482 --> 00:09:10.616 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
into a person's life.
00:09:10.683 --> 00:09:12.051 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
The Psalmist in Psalm 34 says,
00:09:12.118 --> 00:09:13.319 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
"Come near, children,
00:09:13.386 --> 00:09:14.587 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and I will teach you
00:09:14.654 --> 00:09:15.855 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the fear of the Lord."
00:09:15.922 --> 00:09:17.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So, it has to be taught.
00:09:17.123 --> 00:09:18.491 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
30 million Americans
00:09:18.557 --> 00:09:19.825 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
have walked away
00:09:19.892 --> 00:09:21.060 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
from the faith
00:09:21.127 --> 00:09:22.495 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in the last 24 years.
00:09:22.561 --> 00:09:23.829 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I found this out
00:09:23.896 --> 00:09:24.997 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
two years ago.
00:09:25.064 --> 00:09:26.198 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
This was
00:09:26.265 --> 00:09:27.366 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
a really in-depth study
00:09:27.433 --> 00:09:28.701 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that Barna has done.
00:09:28.768 --> 00:09:30.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
There is a group
00:09:30.169 --> 00:09:31.270 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
of businessmen
00:09:31.337 --> 00:09:32.538 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
that funded it and said,
00:09:32.605 --> 00:09:33.739 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
"We want the truth.
00:09:33.806 --> 00:09:35.074 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
What is the state
00:09:35.141 --> 00:09:36.275 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
of the western church?"
00:09:36.342 --> 00:09:37.510 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
30 million Americans,
00:09:37.576 --> 00:09:38.744 align:start line:63% position:10% size:30%
which is one
00:09:38.811 --> 00:09:40.012 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
out of every ten Americans
00:09:40.079 --> 00:09:41.180 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
have walked away
00:09:41.247 --> 00:09:42.448 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
from the faith
00:09:42.515 --> 00:09:43.616 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in the last 24 years.
00:09:43.683 --> 00:09:44.984 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
It caused me to hit my face.
00:09:45.051 --> 00:09:46.552 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I said, God, what is going on?
00:09:46.619 --> 00:09:47.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
We're losing
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:48.788 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
a million people a year!
00:09:48.854 --> 00:09:50.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
That's when
00:09:50.122 --> 00:09:51.490 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
God opened my eyes.
00:09:51.557 --> 00:09:52.658 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
It is because in the western
00:09:52.725 --> 00:09:53.659 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
church we haven't taught
00:09:53.726 --> 00:09:54.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the fear of the Lord.
00:09:54.827 --> 00:09:55.962 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
See if you look
00:09:56.028 --> 00:09:57.930 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
at Psalm 19, verse nine,
00:09:57.997 --> 00:09:59.065 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
it says, "The fear
00:09:59.131 --> 00:10:00.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of the Lord is clean."
00:10:00.266 --> 00:10:01.334 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
It cleans you
00:10:01.400 --> 00:10:02.468 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
from the inside out.
00:10:02.535 --> 00:10:03.602 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
"The fear of the Lord is clean
00:10:03.669 --> 00:10:05.171 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
enduring forever."
00:10:05.237 --> 00:10:06.238 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
So, in other words,
00:10:06.305 --> 00:10:07.940 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
this is what the Holy Spirit
00:10:08.007 --> 00:10:09.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
spoke to me.
00:10:09.108 --> 00:10:10.176 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I'm in a hotel room
00:10:10.242 --> 00:10:12.878 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
00:10:12.945 --> 00:10:14.046 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and the Holy Spirit said,
00:10:14.113 --> 00:10:15.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
"Son, I want you
00:10:15.214 --> 00:10:16.248 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to read Psalm 19."
00:10:16.315 --> 00:10:17.316 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
I heard it.
00:10:17.383 --> 00:10:18.351 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
I went over
00:10:18.417 --> 00:10:19.418 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and I started reading.
00:10:19.485 --> 00:10:20.519 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I got to that verse,
00:10:20.586 --> 00:10:21.587 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
verse nine and it says,
00:10:21.654 --> 00:10:22.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
"The fear of the Lord
00:10:22.788 --> 00:10:23.823 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
is clean, enduring forever."
00:10:23.889 --> 00:10:24.957 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
The Holy Spirit said to me,
00:10:25.024 --> 00:10:26.125 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
"Lucifer led worship, son,
00:10:26.192 --> 00:10:27.193 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
right before my very throne.
00:10:27.259 --> 00:10:28.394 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
He beheld my glory."
00:10:28.461 --> 00:10:29.495 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Think about it.
00:10:29.562 --> 00:10:30.596 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
What put Isaiah on his face
00:10:30.663 --> 00:10:33.799 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and crying out, oh whoa!
00:10:33.866 --> 00:10:34.967 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
I realize
00:10:35.034 --> 00:10:36.168 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
who this wonderful God is
00:10:36.235 --> 00:10:37.870 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
I'm serving.
00:10:37.937 --> 00:10:40.773 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Lucifer beheld his glory,
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:42.208 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
but he didn't fear God,
00:10:42.274 --> 00:10:43.242 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
he didn't endure in heaven
00:10:43.309 --> 00:10:44.276 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
forever.
00:10:44.343 --> 00:10:45.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Then the Lord said,
00:10:45.411 --> 00:10:46.545 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
"A third of the angels
00:10:46.612 --> 00:10:47.747 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
surrounded my throne.
00:10:47.813 --> 00:10:48.948 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
They didn't fear me.
00:10:49.015 --> 00:10:50.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
They didn't endure
00:10:50.149 --> 00:10:51.150 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
in heaven forever."
00:10:51.217 --> 00:10:52.218 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
So, remember
00:10:52.284 --> 00:10:53.219 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
a third of the angels
00:10:53.285 --> 00:10:54.220 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
fell from heaven
00:10:54.286 --> 00:10:55.287 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in Revelations 12? Okay.
00:10:55.354 --> 00:10:56.455 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
He said, "Adam and Eve
00:10:56.522 --> 00:10:57.590 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
walked in the presence
00:10:57.656 --> 00:10:58.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
of my glory in the garden.
00:10:58.691 --> 00:11:00.526 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
They didn't fear me.
00:11:00.593 --> 00:11:02.094 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
They didn't endure forever."
00:11:02.161 --> 00:11:03.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
He said,
00:11:03.329 --> 00:11:04.363 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
"The fear of the Lord."
00:11:04.430 --> 00:11:05.564 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
He showed me that day,
00:11:05.631 --> 00:11:06.565 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
"The fear of the Lord
00:11:06.632 --> 00:11:07.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
is what keeps us
00:11:07.800 --> 00:11:08.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
from walking away from God."
00:11:09.035 --> 00:11:10.369 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And I'll never forget
00:11:10.436 --> 00:11:11.604 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
when I'm sitting
00:11:11.670 --> 00:11:13.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
in the federal penitentiary
00:11:13.105 --> 00:11:14.173 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
with the man
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:15.474 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
who had the largest ministry
00:11:15.541 --> 00:11:17.176 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in the world
00:11:17.243 --> 00:11:18.544 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in the 1980s,
00:11:18.611 --> 00:11:19.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
but he was arrested.
00:11:19.845 --> 00:11:21.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
CNN covered his trial
00:11:21.947 --> 00:11:24.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
every single night.
00:11:24.417 --> 00:11:25.584 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Then he's sentenced
00:11:25.651 --> 00:11:27.253 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to five years.
00:11:27.319 --> 00:11:28.454 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
He read a book that I wrote
00:11:28.521 --> 00:11:29.722 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
in prison.
00:11:29.789 --> 00:11:30.890 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
He asked
00:11:30.956 --> 00:11:32.024 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
if I would come see him.
00:11:32.091 --> 00:11:33.159 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
I remember
00:11:33.225 --> 00:11:34.293 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
when I sat down with him,
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:35.394 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Randy, he said,
00:11:35.461 --> 00:11:36.495 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
"John, this prison wasn't
00:11:36.562 --> 00:11:37.563 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
God's judgment on my life,
00:11:37.630 --> 00:11:38.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
it was his mercy."
00:11:38.764 --> 00:11:39.832 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I went, "What?"
00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:40.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
He said, "John,
00:11:40.966 --> 00:11:42.034 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
if I'd continued
00:11:42.101 --> 00:11:43.135 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
living the way I was living
00:11:43.202 --> 00:11:44.170 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
with the largest ministry
00:11:44.236 --> 00:11:45.237 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in the world
00:11:45.304 --> 00:11:46.372 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I would have ended up
00:11:46.439 --> 00:11:47.506 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
in hell."
00:11:47.573 --> 00:11:48.574 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Everybody would have thought
00:11:48.641 --> 00:11:49.675 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
he's the most influential man.
00:11:49.742 --> 00:11:50.810 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
He said, "I would have
00:11:50.876 --> 00:11:51.877 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
ended up in hell forever."
00:11:51.944 --> 00:11:53.012 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I'm like this.
00:11:53.079 --> 00:11:54.013 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I listened to his whole story.
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:55.081 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Now, here I am, 35 years old,
00:11:55.147 --> 00:11:56.248 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
he's in his upper 50s
00:11:56.315 --> 00:11:58.084 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and I go, "When did you fall
00:11:58.150 --> 00:11:59.752 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
out of love with Jesus?
00:11:59.819 --> 00:12:00.986 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
At what point, when did you
00:12:01.053 --> 00:12:02.254 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
fall out of love with Jesus?"
00:12:02.321 --> 00:12:04.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
He said, "John, I didn't."
00:12:04.256 --> 00:12:05.991 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I went, "Wait, wait, wait!
00:12:06.058 --> 00:12:07.326 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
You committed adultery
00:12:07.393 --> 00:12:09.228 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
in 1983.
00:12:09.295 --> 00:12:10.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
You were arrested
00:12:10.563 --> 00:12:11.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
for mail fraud in 1989.
00:12:11.697 --> 00:12:12.798 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
You were sentenced.
00:12:12.865 --> 00:12:13.866 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
You got seven years.
00:12:13.933 --> 00:12:14.934 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
You just told me
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
you were walking
00:12:16.168 --> 00:12:17.269 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
in pure wickedness.
00:12:17.336 --> 00:12:18.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
What do you mean
00:12:18.504 --> 00:12:19.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
you loved Jesus?"
00:12:19.572 --> 00:12:20.739 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
He said, "John, I loved him."
00:12:20.806 --> 00:12:21.807 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
He looked at me
00:12:21.874 --> 00:12:22.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
with the most tender face.
00:12:23.042 --> 00:12:24.110 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
He said, "I loved him
00:12:24.176 --> 00:12:25.244 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
all the way through it."
00:12:25.311 --> 00:12:26.278 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And he sees I'm totally
00:12:26.345 --> 00:12:27.480 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
confused, and he said,
00:12:27.546 --> 00:12:28.614 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
"I didn't fear God."
00:12:28.681 --> 00:12:29.949 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I went, "What?"
00:12:30.015 --> 00:12:31.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
He said, "John, there are
00:12:31.183 --> 00:12:32.251 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
millions of Americans
00:12:32.318 --> 00:12:33.486 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
who attend church.
00:12:33.552 --> 00:12:34.787 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
They love Jesus.
00:12:34.854 --> 00:12:36.088 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
They don't fear God."
00:12:36.155 --> 00:12:37.323 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
And I realized
00:12:37.389 --> 00:12:38.924 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
when I walked out that day,
00:12:38.991 --> 00:12:40.426 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the love of God keeps us
00:12:40.493 --> 00:12:43.696 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
from the ditch of legalism.
00:12:43.762 --> 00:12:44.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
God hates legalism.
00:12:44.964 --> 00:12:46.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
It keeps people from him.
00:12:47.032 --> 00:12:48.267 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But the fear of the Lord
00:12:48.334 --> 00:12:49.435 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
is on the other side
00:12:49.502 --> 00:12:50.769 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
of the road, it keeps us
00:12:50.836 --> 00:12:52.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
from the ditch of lawlessness.
00:12:52.571 --> 00:12:53.739 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
RANDY: Do you know who else
00:12:53.806 --> 00:12:54.874 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
didn't have the fear of God?
00:12:54.940 --> 00:12:56.008 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
And I find this
00:12:56.075 --> 00:12:57.109 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
very interesting.
00:12:57.176 --> 00:12:58.277 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
The people who saw
00:12:58.344 --> 00:13:00.913 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
the plaques in Egypt,
00:13:00.980 --> 00:13:02.081 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
set them free
00:13:02.148 --> 00:13:03.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
from slavery,
00:13:03.449 --> 00:13:05.184 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
saw the Red Sea part,
00:13:05.251 --> 00:13:07.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
saw the chariots drowned,
00:13:07.853 --> 00:13:09.488 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
were fed manna daily, saw
00:13:09.555 --> 00:13:12.591 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
a pillar of fire by night --
00:13:12.658 --> 00:13:14.293 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
cloud by day, fire by night,
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:15.628 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and still built
00:13:15.694 --> 00:13:17.796 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
an idol of worship.
00:13:17.863 --> 00:13:19.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
Was it Baal?
00:13:19.465 --> 00:13:20.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
And you go --
00:13:20.966 --> 00:13:22.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
JOHN: Randy,
00:13:22.201 --> 00:13:23.335 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I have not thought of it
00:13:23.402 --> 00:13:24.503 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the way you just said it.
00:13:24.570 --> 00:13:25.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
RANDY: The way we look
00:13:25.804 --> 00:13:26.939 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
for miracles or God move --
00:13:27.006 --> 00:13:28.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
God show up.
00:13:28.274 --> 00:13:31.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
That doesn't do it.
00:13:31.443 --> 00:13:33.379 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
Look at Jesus.
00:13:33.445 --> 00:13:34.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
People saw
00:13:34.580 --> 00:13:35.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the miracles Jesus did
00:13:35.714 --> 00:13:37.149 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and still didn't believe.
00:13:37.216 --> 00:13:38.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
There is something missing
00:13:38.450 --> 00:13:39.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
in our theology
00:13:39.685 --> 00:13:41.720 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and I think this is it.
00:13:41.787 --> 00:13:43.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
JOHN: Well, I know this.
00:13:44.023 --> 00:13:45.824 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
I look at Psalm 112
00:13:45.891 --> 00:13:47.259 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
and I look
00:13:47.326 --> 00:13:48.460 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
at how he starts out
00:13:48.527 --> 00:13:49.795 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
and he says, "How happy..."
00:13:49.862 --> 00:13:51.230 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
And I look at all
00:13:51.297 --> 00:13:52.431 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
the benefits that come,
00:13:52.498 --> 00:13:53.799 align:start line:63% position:10% size:33%
"His children
00:13:53.866 --> 00:13:55.000 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
will be mighty on the earth,
00:13:55.067 --> 00:13:56.168 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
he will live in security,
00:13:56.235 --> 00:13:57.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
he will not fear bad news."
00:13:57.403 --> 00:13:58.504 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Jesus said men's hearts
00:13:58.571 --> 00:13:59.738 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
are going to faint
00:13:59.805 --> 00:14:00.906 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
when they hear
00:14:00.973 --> 00:14:02.041 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
what's coming on the earth.
00:14:02.107 --> 00:14:03.309 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
They're going to fail them.
00:14:03.375 --> 00:14:04.443 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I don't believe they're going
00:14:04.510 --> 00:14:05.611 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to die of heart attacks.
00:14:05.678 --> 00:14:06.812 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
It is just right now
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.880 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
people are really struggling.
00:14:07.947 --> 00:14:09.048 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
They're so fearful.
00:14:09.114 --> 00:14:10.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
RANDY: Anxiety
00:14:10.282 --> 00:14:11.417 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
is through the charts.
00:14:11.483 --> 00:14:12.551 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
JOHN: When you walk
00:14:12.618 --> 00:14:13.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in the fear of the Lord,
00:14:13.852 --> 00:14:14.887 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
bad news
00:14:14.954 --> 00:14:15.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
doesn't even phase you.
00:14:15.988 --> 00:14:16.956 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
RANDY: Okay.
00:14:17.022 --> 00:14:17.990 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
We've got a couple minutes
00:14:18.057 --> 00:14:19.058 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
but there is a story
00:14:19.124 --> 00:14:20.226 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
because you talk
00:14:20.292 --> 00:14:21.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
about the fear of man.
00:14:21.393 --> 00:14:22.428 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And the fear of situations,
00:14:22.494 --> 00:14:23.529 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the fear of the unknown;
00:14:23.596 --> 00:14:24.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
we can deal with some
00:14:24.697 --> 00:14:25.798 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
of these in another program.
00:14:25.864 --> 00:14:26.932 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
But there's a story
00:14:26.999 --> 00:14:28.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
that happened
00:14:28.133 --> 00:14:29.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
down in Monterey, Mexico
00:14:29.201 --> 00:14:30.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that I love that we didn't
00:14:30.402 --> 00:14:31.470 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
get to touch on last time
00:14:31.537 --> 00:14:32.571 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
where they basically said,
00:14:32.638 --> 00:14:34.306 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
"You can't preach here."
00:14:34.373 --> 00:14:35.507 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
JOHN: Oh, you remember that!
00:14:35.574 --> 00:14:36.609 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
That's in the
00:14:36.675 --> 00:14:37.710 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Everyday Courage book.
00:14:37.776 --> 00:14:38.811 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
RANDY: Is that
00:14:38.877 --> 00:14:39.845 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in the Everyday Courage?
00:14:39.912 --> 00:14:40.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Okay, so that's why
00:14:40.913 --> 00:14:41.880 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I didn't hear it
00:14:41.947 --> 00:14:42.915 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
when we talked about
00:14:42.982 --> 00:14:44.016 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
The Awe of God last time.
00:14:44.083 --> 00:14:45.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
JOHN: I'm in Monterey, Mexico
00:14:45.184 --> 00:14:46.185 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and it's going to be
00:14:46.252 --> 00:14:47.353 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
an evangelistic outreach
00:14:47.419 --> 00:14:49.054 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in the largest auditorium
00:14:49.121 --> 00:14:50.456 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in downtown Monterey,
00:14:50.522 --> 00:14:51.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
which is a very big city.
00:14:51.724 --> 00:14:52.992 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
The pastor
00:14:53.058 --> 00:14:54.093 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
who was putting it on
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:55.194 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
advertised it
00:14:55.261 --> 00:14:56.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in the newspaper.
00:14:56.328 --> 00:14:57.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
This is back in the 1980s.
00:14:57.496 --> 00:14:58.998 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
We were going
00:14:59.064 --> 00:15:00.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to this auditorium,
00:15:00.266 --> 00:15:01.367 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I'm so excited.
00:15:01.433 --> 00:15:02.468 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I'm praying all day,
00:15:02.534 --> 00:15:03.569 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
preparing for it.
00:15:03.636 --> 00:15:05.838 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
There is a guy that comes in
00:15:05.904 --> 00:15:06.972 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
right before
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:08.073 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the meeting starts
00:15:08.140 --> 00:15:09.174 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
with two armed soldiers
00:15:09.241 --> 00:15:10.342 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
beside him.
00:15:10.409 --> 00:15:11.543 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
He calls the pastor over
00:15:11.610 --> 00:15:12.745 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and I see, boy,
00:15:12.811 --> 00:15:13.846 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
he's not talking very nice
00:15:13.912 --> 00:15:15.047 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to that pastor.
00:15:15.114 --> 00:15:16.181 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Well, the pastor comes over
00:15:16.248 --> 00:15:17.383 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and says, "John,
00:15:17.449 --> 00:15:18.450 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
you're not going
00:15:18.517 --> 00:15:19.652 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
to be able to preach.
00:15:19.718 --> 00:15:20.719 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
You just can't preach."
00:15:20.786 --> 00:15:21.720 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
I said "What?"
00:15:21.787 --> 00:15:22.821 align:start line:63% position:10% size:20%
He said,
00:15:22.888 --> 00:15:23.956 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
"He's a high-ranking officer
00:15:24.023 --> 00:15:24.990 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
in the government
00:15:25.057 --> 00:15:26.158 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
and there is a fine law
00:15:26.225 --> 00:15:27.192 align:start line:63% position:10% size:23%
that says
00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:28.227 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
you can't preach the gospel
00:15:28.294 --> 00:15:29.261 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in Mexico unless
00:15:29.328 --> 00:15:30.296 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
you're a Mexican citizen."
00:15:30.362 --> 00:15:31.330 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
He said,
00:15:31.397 --> 00:15:32.398 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
"They never enforce it
00:15:32.464 --> 00:15:34.166 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
but he's choosing to."
00:15:34.233 --> 00:15:35.367 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And I said, "Well, pastor,
00:15:35.434 --> 00:15:36.402 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I don't want to get you
00:15:36.468 --> 00:15:37.503 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and your church
00:15:37.569 --> 00:15:38.504 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in a lot of trouble.
00:15:38.570 --> 00:15:39.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
So I'll do
00:15:39.571 --> 00:15:40.506 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
what you tell me to.
00:15:40.572 --> 00:15:41.507 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But I want you to know
00:15:41.573 --> 00:15:42.508 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I'm willing to go up
00:15:42.574 --> 00:15:43.509 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
on that platform
00:15:43.575 --> 00:15:44.510 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and still preach.
00:15:44.576 --> 00:15:45.511 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I didn't fly down here
00:15:45.577 --> 00:15:46.512 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
not to preach."
00:15:46.578 --> 00:15:47.513 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
He said, "John, I think
00:15:47.579 --> 00:15:48.514 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
it could really have
00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:49.515 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
some serious repercussions
00:15:49.581 --> 00:15:50.516 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
on our church."
00:15:50.582 --> 00:15:51.617 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
So, I remember the man
00:15:51.684 --> 00:15:52.685 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
came over and talked with me
00:15:52.751 --> 00:15:53.752 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
with his two armed soldiers.
00:15:53.819 --> 00:15:54.820 align:start line:85% position:10% size:20%
He said,
00:15:54.887 --> 00:15:55.854 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
"I will tell you one sentence.
00:15:55.921 --> 00:15:56.855 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
You will speak to these people
00:15:56.922 --> 00:15:58.357 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
about nothing except
00:15:58.424 --> 00:16:00.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
tourist-related activities."
00:16:00.526 --> 00:16:01.727 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I walked outside
00:16:01.794 --> 00:16:03.095 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
of that place
00:16:03.162 --> 00:16:04.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and there was a flagpole.
00:16:04.296 --> 00:16:05.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I started walking
00:16:05.431 --> 00:16:06.432 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
around the flagpole
00:16:06.498 --> 00:16:07.700 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
just praying like crazy.
00:16:07.766 --> 00:16:08.734 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I thought, I don't care
00:16:08.801 --> 00:16:09.768 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
what people think about me.
00:16:09.835 --> 00:16:10.836 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
They're just going to think
00:16:10.903 --> 00:16:11.937 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I'm a crazy foreign guy.
00:16:12.004 --> 00:16:13.105 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
All of the sudden
00:16:13.172 --> 00:16:14.239 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I hear inside,
00:16:14.306 --> 00:16:16.208 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
"Go back in and tell them
00:16:16.275 --> 00:16:17.409 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
about the greatest tourist
00:16:17.476 --> 00:16:18.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that's ever visited Mexico,
00:16:18.777 --> 00:16:19.945 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
Jesus.
00:16:20.012 --> 00:16:21.080 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Put your Bible away
00:16:21.146 --> 00:16:22.448 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and tell them about Jesus."
00:16:22.514 --> 00:16:23.916 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
So, I go back in, so excited.
00:16:23.982 --> 00:16:25.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And he's already up there.
00:16:25.951 --> 00:16:27.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I'm like, gosh, how I do this?
00:16:27.486 --> 00:16:28.520 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Now, I know God told me
00:16:28.587 --> 00:16:29.521 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to come back in.
00:16:29.588 --> 00:16:30.622 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Then all of the sudden
00:16:30.689 --> 00:16:31.690 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
his wife, I'm in the back
00:16:31.757 --> 00:16:34.093 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
of this big auditorium,
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:35.627 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and his wife says,
00:16:35.694 --> 00:16:36.962 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
"He's calling for you."
00:16:37.029 --> 00:16:38.430 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
So, I'm walking up
00:16:38.497 --> 00:16:40.432 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
and it's just a massive crowd.
00:16:40.499 --> 00:16:41.700 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
I said,
00:16:41.767 --> 00:16:42.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
"What do you want me to do?"
00:16:42.868 --> 00:16:44.837 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
He goes, "You obey God."
00:16:44.903 --> 00:16:46.338 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I said, "Okay!"
00:16:46.405 --> 00:16:47.606 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
So, I said, "Hey,
00:16:47.673 --> 00:16:48.674 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I was just told
00:16:48.741 --> 00:16:49.708 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
by this officer
00:16:49.775 --> 00:16:50.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I can't talk to you
00:16:50.809 --> 00:16:51.910 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
about anything but
00:16:51.977 --> 00:16:52.945 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
tourist-related activities.
00:16:53.011 --> 00:16:54.012 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I want to tell you
00:16:54.079 --> 00:16:55.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
about the greatest tourist
00:16:55.214 --> 00:16:56.348 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that's ever come to Mexico,
00:16:56.415 --> 00:16:57.449 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
Jesus!"
00:16:57.516 --> 00:16:58.517 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I started preaching
00:16:58.584 --> 00:16:59.518 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the cross, the resurrection.
00:16:59.585 --> 00:17:00.619 align:start line:85% position:10% size:15%
Right?
00:17:00.686 --> 00:17:01.754 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
RANDY: What happened?
00:17:01.820 --> 00:17:02.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
JOHN: So, I gave the call
00:17:03.055 --> 00:17:04.223 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
for people to be saved. Right?
00:17:04.289 --> 00:17:06.892 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I mean a mob came down.
00:17:06.959 --> 00:17:08.727 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
And there is a crippled man,
00:17:08.794 --> 00:17:09.962 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and the Lord said,
00:17:10.028 --> 00:17:11.096 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
"That's the first man
00:17:11.163 --> 00:17:12.498 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I want to heal."
00:17:12.564 --> 00:17:13.799 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So, I go pray for this guy.
00:17:13.866 --> 00:17:15.067 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I said, "Drop your crutch."
00:17:15.134 --> 00:17:16.201 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
He starts walking.
00:17:16.268 --> 00:17:17.302 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And then he and I started
00:17:17.369 --> 00:17:18.404 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
running back and forth.
00:17:18.470 --> 00:17:19.838 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Well, the place goes insane.
00:17:19.905 --> 00:17:21.173 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Now, people are being asked,
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:23.175 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
they come running down.
00:17:23.242 --> 00:17:24.343 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
A deaf woman
00:17:24.410 --> 00:17:25.411 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
gets her ear opened up.
00:17:25.477 --> 00:17:26.612 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
She literally, I watched tears
00:17:26.678 --> 00:17:28.046 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
make her light blue blouse
00:17:28.113 --> 00:17:29.548 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
go dark blue.
00:17:29.615 --> 00:17:31.250 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
This little five-year-old boy
00:17:31.316 --> 00:17:33.919 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
gets healed miraculously.
00:17:33.986 --> 00:17:35.154 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
It's wonderful!
00:17:35.220 --> 00:17:36.188 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
I get on the plane.
00:17:36.255 --> 00:17:37.222 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
I fly home.
00:17:37.289 --> 00:17:38.357 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
The pastor flies back up
00:17:38.424 --> 00:17:39.892 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
a week later and said,
00:17:39.958 --> 00:17:40.993 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
"Here is the front page
00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:42.761 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
of the Monterey newspaper."
00:17:42.828 --> 00:17:44.062 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
It said the government said
00:17:44.129 --> 00:17:45.230 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
you were a swindler
00:17:45.297 --> 00:17:46.365 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
taking money
00:17:46.432 --> 00:17:47.533 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
out of the country.
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:48.567 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
The reporters were there.
00:17:48.634 --> 00:17:49.601 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
I saw them,
00:17:49.668 --> 00:17:50.702 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
because I saw cameras.
00:17:50.769 --> 00:17:51.804 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
They said, "We saw people
00:17:51.870 --> 00:17:52.871 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
getting genuinely healed."
00:17:52.938 --> 00:17:54.006 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
The pastor puts the paper down
00:17:54.072 --> 00:17:55.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and he said,
00:17:55.207 --> 00:17:56.308 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
"John, can I tell you
00:17:56.375 --> 00:17:57.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
what really happened?"
00:17:57.443 --> 00:17:58.444 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I said, "What happened?"
00:17:58.510 --> 00:17:59.645 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
He said, "The officer
00:17:59.711 --> 00:18:00.679 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
sent two unarmed men
00:18:00.746 --> 00:18:01.847 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
back to arrest you
00:18:01.914 --> 00:18:03.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
if you preached.
00:18:03.282 --> 00:18:04.416 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
They came to arrest you.
00:18:04.483 --> 00:18:05.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
One of our ushers heard them.
00:18:05.751 --> 00:18:06.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
When you started praying
00:18:07.052 --> 00:18:08.153 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
for the crippled man,
00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:09.254 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
they said,
00:18:09.321 --> 00:18:10.289 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
'Do you think this is real?'
00:18:10.355 --> 00:18:11.423 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
The other guy goes,
00:18:11.490 --> 00:18:12.491 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
'I don't know.
00:18:12.558 --> 00:18:13.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Let's move up closer
00:18:13.625 --> 00:18:14.726 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
and see.'"
00:18:14.793 --> 00:18:15.761 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
He said, "When they saw
00:18:15.828 --> 00:18:16.829 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the five-year-old boy
00:18:16.895 --> 00:18:17.863 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
get healed,
00:18:17.930 --> 00:18:18.897 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the one looked at the other
00:18:18.964 --> 00:18:20.032 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and said, 'This is real.'
00:18:20.098 --> 00:18:21.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
And the two men
00:18:21.166 --> 00:18:22.167 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that came to arrest you
00:18:22.234 --> 00:18:23.268 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
ended up coming to you
00:18:23.335 --> 00:18:24.336 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and asking you to lead them
00:18:24.403 --> 00:18:25.571 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
in a prayer to receive Jesus."
00:18:25.637 --> 00:18:27.239 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
RANDY: That's it!
00:18:27.306 --> 00:18:28.407 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
That's it!
00:18:28.474 --> 00:18:29.575 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
That right there
00:18:29.641 --> 00:18:30.742 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
is fearing God
00:18:30.809 --> 00:18:31.910 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
more than you fear man.
00:18:31.977 --> 00:18:33.078 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
The fear of the Lord
00:18:33.145 --> 00:18:35.881 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
drives out every other fear
00:18:35.948 --> 00:18:37.015 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and God shows up.
00:18:37.082 --> 00:18:38.183 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
JOHN: He's so faithful.
00:18:38.250 --> 00:18:39.251 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
RANDY: In discernment.
00:18:39.318 --> 00:18:40.319 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
JOHN: You have
00:18:40.385 --> 00:18:41.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to have discernment.
00:18:41.386 --> 00:18:42.321 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
The fear of the Lord
00:18:42.387 --> 00:18:43.355 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
gives you wisdom.
00:18:43.422 --> 00:18:44.356 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
RANDY: That's exactly right!
00:18:44.423 --> 00:18:45.390 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
You have to have it. Okay.
00:18:45.457 --> 00:18:46.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
John is going to come back
00:18:46.859 --> 00:18:47.893 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
on another program
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:48.927 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and we're going to talk --
00:18:48.994 --> 00:18:49.962 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
JOHN: I'm like family
00:18:50.028 --> 00:18:50.963 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
around here.
00:18:51.029 --> 00:18:51.997 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
You can't get rid of me.
00:18:52.064 --> 00:18:52.998 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
RANDY: I don't want to
00:18:53.065 --> 00:18:54.099 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
because there are
00:18:54.166 --> 00:18:55.133 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
so many things
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:56.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
in Everyday Courage
00:18:56.201 --> 00:18:57.169 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
that I really want
00:18:57.236 --> 00:18:58.270 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
to talk to you.
00:18:58.337 --> 00:18:59.304 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
I want to tell people
00:18:59.371 --> 00:19:00.305 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
if you want to request
00:19:00.372 --> 00:19:01.306 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
Everyday Courage
00:19:01.373 --> 00:19:02.307 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
by John Bevere, do that.
00:19:02.374 --> 00:19:03.342 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
I'd love to send it to you.
00:19:03.408 --> 00:19:04.409 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
Of course, you can get
00:19:04.476 --> 00:19:05.477 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
The Awe of God
00:19:05.544 --> 00:19:06.612 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
wherever you get your books.
00:19:06.678 --> 00:19:07.613 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
But here's the situation
00:19:07.679 --> 00:19:08.680 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
because we've been
00:19:08.747 --> 00:19:09.748 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
in a lot of places
00:19:09.815 --> 00:19:10.816 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
where we've been told
00:19:10.883 --> 00:19:11.917 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
you can only do
00:19:11.984 --> 00:19:12.951 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
certain things.
00:19:13.018 --> 00:19:14.052 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
But the discernment,
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:16.889 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
the compassion, the need,
00:19:16.955 --> 00:19:18.490 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
it's out there.
00:19:18.557 --> 00:19:19.858 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
I want you to get
00:19:19.925 --> 00:19:21.860 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
a little glimpse of someone
00:19:21.927 --> 00:19:23.562 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
who, maybe like you,
00:19:23.629 --> 00:19:24.997 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
has seen it
00:19:25.063 --> 00:19:26.765 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
but not experienced it.
00:19:26.832 --> 00:19:28.867 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
Just so you hear her heart
00:19:28.934 --> 00:19:30.435 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
because this is the heart
00:19:30.502 --> 00:19:31.537 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
of what we do,
00:19:31.603 --> 00:19:33.972 align:start line:63% position:10% size:75%
the ministry in word and deed.
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:36.041 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
Watch this.
00:19:37.242 --> 00:19:40.412 align:start line:58% position:20% size:58%
ASHTON: On my first day
here in Benguela,
00:19:40.479 --> 00:19:42.481 align:center line:58% position:50% size:40%
we decided to go
and visit
00:19:42.548 --> 00:19:44.950 align:center line:58% position:50% size:50%
the Benguelan
malnutrition clinic.
00:19:45.017 --> 00:19:49.021 align:start line:79% position:20% size:60%
Prior to this trip,
I thought I was prepared
00:19:49.087 --> 00:19:51.089 align:center line:79% position:50% size:33%
to see
these things.
00:19:51.156 --> 00:19:53.091 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
I've watched
James and Betty on TV.
00:19:53.158 --> 00:19:55.193 align:center line:85% position:50% size:65%
I've been in their studio.
00:19:55.260 --> 00:20:01.633 align:start line:74% position:23% size:55%
I've seen the videos,
I've heard the stories
so I can handle this.
00:20:01.700 --> 00:20:03.702 align:start line:79% position:33% size:33%
But when
I stepped in,
00:20:03.769 --> 00:20:06.471 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
there was a child
on every single bed.
00:20:06.538 --> 00:20:08.574 align:start line:79% position:35% size:30%
They're skin
and bones.
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:12.277 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
Some of them have
sores on their mouths.
00:20:12.344 --> 00:20:15.747 align:start line:79% position:23% size:53%
They've got that tint
of orange hair
00:20:15.814 --> 00:20:18.684 align:center line:79% position:50% size:63%
that you often see
in malnourished children.
00:20:18.750 --> 00:20:22.120 align:start line:79% position:25% size:50%
Some of them --
it was joyful to see
00:20:22.187 --> 00:20:24.656 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
because some of them
were drinking that milk
00:20:24.723 --> 00:20:27.693 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
and eating that
peanut butter mix
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:30.262 align:center line:79% position:50% size:45%
that the team
provided for them.
00:20:30.329 --> 00:20:32.864 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
You could tell that
they were gaining weight.
00:20:32.931 --> 00:20:34.933 align:center line:79% position:50% size:45%
But then
there were others.
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:38.637 align:start line:79% position:18% size:65%
There was this little girl
named Maria.
00:20:38.704 --> 00:20:42.841 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
And just to lay eyes
on her broke my heart.
00:20:42.908 --> 00:20:49.047 align:start line:79% position:13% size:73%
As I laid my hand on her leg,
I remember how small it was.
00:20:49.114 --> 00:20:53.819 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
It was taking every bit
of energy she had to sit up.
00:20:53.885 --> 00:20:58.223 align:start line:79% position:33% size:35%
But this is
the condition.
00:20:58.290 --> 00:21:00.726 align:start line:79% position:23% size:53%
Coming here
and meeting the moms,
00:21:00.792 --> 00:21:03.595 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
meeting the babies,
holding their children,
00:21:03.662 --> 00:21:05.931 align:center line:79% position:50% size:33%
these aren't
just stories,
00:21:05.998 --> 00:21:10.535 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
they're real people
-- real children.
00:21:10.602 --> 00:21:12.704 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
It's completely different
when you're here
00:21:12.771 --> 00:21:15.240 align:center line:79% position:50% size:30%
and you hold
their hands.
00:21:15.307 --> 00:21:19.745 align:start line:74% position:15% size:70%
You ask them the questions
and they share their sorrows
with you,
00:21:19.811 --> 00:21:25.951 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
facing tragedy and suffering
every single day.
00:21:26.018 --> 00:21:31.056 align:start line:79% position:20% size:60%
The goal here is to give
these people a lifeline
00:21:31.123 --> 00:21:33.358 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
so that they can
build themselves up,
00:21:33.425 --> 00:21:36.495 align:center line:79% position:50% size:33%
they can have
enough food.
00:21:36.561 --> 00:21:42.200 align:start line:79% position:20% size:60%
Their desire isn't for
a handout but a hand up.
00:21:42.267 --> 00:21:46.038 align:start line:79% position:38% size:25%
We need
your help.
00:21:49.508 --> 00:21:50.742 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
RANDY: I know those pictures
00:21:50.809 --> 00:21:53.211 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
are hard to look at.
00:21:53.278 --> 00:21:54.279 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
There are networks
00:21:54.346 --> 00:21:55.414 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that won't let us air that.
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:56.515 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
There are
00:21:56.581 --> 00:21:57.616 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
social media platforms
00:21:57.683 --> 00:21:58.717 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that have removed
00:21:58.784 --> 00:22:00.052 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
some of our videos
00:22:00.118 --> 00:22:01.753 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
to show you how hard that is.
00:22:01.820 --> 00:22:04.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
But we need you to understand
00:22:04.589 --> 00:22:06.825 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the reality out there.
00:22:06.892 --> 00:22:07.926 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
When you get there
00:22:07.993 --> 00:22:08.994 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and you see it
00:22:09.061 --> 00:22:10.162 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and you really get it
00:22:10.228 --> 00:22:11.430 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in your soul,
00:22:11.496 --> 00:22:12.631 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
it is an easy thing
00:22:12.698 --> 00:22:14.232 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to want to help.
00:22:14.299 --> 00:22:15.834 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
That's why we want you
00:22:15.901 --> 00:22:18.637 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to understand the need
00:22:18.704 --> 00:22:19.971 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
because you need
00:22:20.038 --> 00:22:21.273 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to understand the power
00:22:21.339 --> 00:22:23.809 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of your participation.
00:22:23.875 --> 00:22:24.976 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
John, I know
00:22:25.043 --> 00:22:26.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you've been over there.
00:22:26.411 --> 00:22:27.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
It changes
00:22:27.546 --> 00:22:28.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
when you're on the ground.
00:22:28.647 --> 00:22:29.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
JOHN: Yeah.
00:22:29.915 --> 00:22:31.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
I think
00:22:31.283 --> 00:22:32.451 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
what really did it for me
00:22:32.517 --> 00:22:33.585 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
is when we were
00:22:33.652 --> 00:22:34.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
running out of food,
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:35.887 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and I saw the desperation
00:22:35.954 --> 00:22:36.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in those kids.
00:22:37.055 --> 00:22:38.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
It happened and
00:22:38.156 --> 00:22:39.324 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
we had nothing to give them.
00:22:39.391 --> 00:22:40.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
We were way out
00:22:40.525 --> 00:22:42.828 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in the middle of nowhere.
00:22:42.894 --> 00:22:44.029 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
These are human beings;
00:22:44.096 --> 00:22:45.997 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
these are real people.
00:22:46.064 --> 00:22:47.399 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
RANDY: They're God's creation.
00:22:47.466 --> 00:22:48.533 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
JOHN: I love
00:22:48.600 --> 00:22:49.768 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
what Life Today is doing.
00:22:49.835 --> 00:22:51.036 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
RANDY: I appreciate your heart
00:22:51.103 --> 00:22:52.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
because I know it's genuine.
00:22:52.504 --> 00:22:54.106 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
There is a lot of good things
00:22:54.172 --> 00:22:55.307 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in this world, there are
00:22:55.373 --> 00:22:56.608 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
a lot of good causes
00:22:56.675 --> 00:22:58.076 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
but I'm talking
00:22:58.143 --> 00:23:01.213 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
about a God cause here.
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:03.315 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Remember the poor.
00:23:03.381 --> 00:23:05.717 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Remember the poor!
00:23:05.784 --> 00:23:07.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Visit those
00:23:07.486 --> 00:23:08.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
who are in distress,
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:09.988 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
those who are hungry.
00:23:10.055 --> 00:23:12.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
This is -- it is so simple.
00:23:12.691 --> 00:23:14.059 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Let me break it down for you
00:23:14.126 --> 00:23:15.260 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
on a practical level
00:23:15.327 --> 00:23:16.394 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
just so you know.
00:23:16.461 --> 00:23:17.596 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Not all of you can go.
00:23:17.662 --> 00:23:18.797 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
You don't want to go.
00:23:18.864 --> 00:23:21.233 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
But you can't go,
00:23:21.299 --> 00:23:22.400 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that's the thing.
00:23:22.467 --> 00:23:23.668 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
You can go
00:23:23.735 --> 00:23:25.103 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in the name of Jesus
00:23:25.170 --> 00:23:27.272 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
because we don't go anywhere
00:23:27.339 --> 00:23:28.874 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
where we don't proclaim
00:23:28.940 --> 00:23:30.208 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Jesus Christ.
00:23:30.275 --> 00:23:31.376 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
This is how we do it.
00:23:31.443 --> 00:23:33.545 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
This is how you participate:
00:23:33.612 --> 00:23:34.813 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
$30 will basically
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:36.114 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
feed three children
00:23:36.181 --> 00:23:37.516 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
for the next three months.
00:23:37.582 --> 00:23:38.717 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
How do you do that?
00:23:38.784 --> 00:23:40.085 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
Well, it is because
00:23:40.152 --> 00:23:41.386 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
we have people in place.
00:23:41.453 --> 00:23:44.122 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
We have the whole chain
00:23:44.189 --> 00:23:47.359 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
in place to get the food to
00:23:47.425 --> 00:23:49.761 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
the most desperate situations.
00:23:49.828 --> 00:23:51.062 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
And if they get to where
00:23:51.129 --> 00:23:53.165 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
they're self-sufficient,
00:23:53.231 --> 00:23:54.366 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
they're good,
00:23:54.432 --> 00:23:55.667 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
malnutrition isn't an issue,
00:23:55.734 --> 00:23:57.002 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
we go to another place
00:23:57.068 --> 00:23:58.804 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
where there is great need.
00:23:58.870 --> 00:23:59.971 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
We're not going to outpace
00:24:00.038 --> 00:24:01.039 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
the need here,
00:24:01.106 --> 00:24:02.274 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
but we are only going to do
00:24:02.340 --> 00:24:03.708 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
as much as you
00:24:03.775 --> 00:24:05.043 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
enable us to do.
00:24:05.110 --> 00:24:06.278 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
Maybe you can give $50
00:24:06.344 --> 00:24:07.612 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
and feed five children
00:24:07.679 --> 00:24:08.747 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
for the next three months.
00:24:08.814 --> 00:24:10.882 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
$100 will feed ten.
00:24:10.949 --> 00:24:12.984 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
Many of you can give $1,000
00:24:13.051 --> 00:24:14.219 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
to feed 100 children,
00:24:14.286 --> 00:24:15.287 align:start line:58% position:10% size:28%
maybe more!
00:24:15.353 --> 00:24:16.321 align:start line:58% position:10% size:28%
By the way,
00:24:16.388 --> 00:24:17.522 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
this is the last week
00:24:17.589 --> 00:24:18.790 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
we'll be on the air
00:24:18.857 --> 00:24:19.925 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
with this outreach.
00:24:19.991 --> 00:24:21.092 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
But the need will continue
00:24:21.159 --> 00:24:22.394 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
and as many of you plan
00:24:22.460 --> 00:24:24.496 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
the end-of-the-year giving,
00:24:24.563 --> 00:24:26.598 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
this is a wonderful place.
00:24:26.665 --> 00:24:27.966 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
I pray that you will consider
00:24:28.033 --> 00:24:29.134 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
putting it right here
00:24:29.201 --> 00:24:31.436 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
because Mission Feeding works.
00:24:31.503 --> 00:24:33.905 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
Mission Feeding saves lives.
00:24:33.972 --> 00:24:35.807 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
You will be, I know
00:24:35.874 --> 00:24:37.475 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
you'll be blessing people,
00:24:37.542 --> 00:24:38.777 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
but you will also
00:24:38.844 --> 00:24:40.111 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
be demonstrating
00:24:40.178 --> 00:24:42.147 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
the love of Jesus in deed.
00:24:42.214 --> 00:24:43.882 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
We'll give them the word --
00:24:43.949 --> 00:24:45.116 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
trust me we'll give them
00:24:45.183 --> 00:24:46.251 align:start line:58% position:10% size:23%
the word.
00:24:46.318 --> 00:24:47.419 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
If you want to request
00:24:47.485 --> 00:24:48.620 align:start line:58% position:10% size:75%
John's book, Everyday Courage,
00:24:48.687 --> 00:24:49.688 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
we'd love to put it
00:24:49.754 --> 00:24:50.755 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
in your hands
00:24:50.822 --> 00:24:51.857 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
just to build courage
00:24:51.923 --> 00:24:52.991 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
in your life.
00:24:53.058 --> 00:24:54.226 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
But most of all, we want you
00:24:54.292 --> 00:24:55.427 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
to step out with us
00:24:55.493 --> 00:24:56.661 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
to proclaim Christ
00:24:56.728 --> 00:24:57.996 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
to the world by meeting
00:24:58.063 --> 00:24:59.331 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
the most basic needs
00:24:59.397 --> 00:25:01.399 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
to people right now.
