00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.760
Real Life presents the Jack Hibbs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim

2
00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:09.120
truth, equip the saints and impact our culture.

3
00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:14.040
Wouldn't it be great if we could just pay people to get saved?

4
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:16.120
You know, don't we have loved ones that are not saved?

5
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:17.120
Wouldn't it be great?

6
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:18.120
How much?

7
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:19.120
What is this?

8
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:20.120
She's 39.95.

9
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:21.120
Okay.

10
00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:25.120
Alright, I'll pay that.

11
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:26.120
Boom.

12
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:27.120
Stamp.

13
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:28.120
You're saved.

14
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:32.160
Wouldn't that be great?

15
00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:37.960
Listen, God's not a pimp.

16
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.400
You can't prostitute salvation.

17
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:43.560
Just pay this and you'll go free.

18
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:45.560
Are you hearing me?

19
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:50.760
A Christian can't think that way.

20
00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:57.160
You can get the outlines of this podcast by going to jackhibbs.com slash podcast.

21
00:00:57.160 --> 00:01:01.840
And today, if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled

22
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:06.400
life in Christ, then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings.

23
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:13.000
To us, that's like saying, amen or yes, then that rating will encourage others to listen.

24
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.520
Now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you.

25
00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:19.480
Here is Jack Hibbs.

26
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:24.120
In John chapter 16, verse 5, the Bible tells us, but now Jesus said, I go away.

27
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:30.840
I'm leaving you guys to him who sent me and none of you will ask me, where are you going?

28
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:35.120
But because I have said this, these things to you, sorrows, filled your heart, nevertheless,

29
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:36.120
I tell you the truth.

30
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:37.760
It is to your advantage that I go away.

31
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:44.080
For if I do not go away, the helper, the word is pericleto, pericletos, the Holy Spirit.

32
00:01:44.080 --> 00:01:46.560
He will not come to you.

33
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.200
But if I depart, I will send them to you.

34
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:55.040
And when he has come, he will convict the world, watch this, of sin and of righteousness and

35
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.320
of judgment, of sin because they do not believe in me.

36
00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:03.960
If God is convicting you, my friend, you need to make a decision right now for Jesus.

37
00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:08.000
Don't let your heart grow callous.

38
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.760
And of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you see me no more, it's a declaration.

39
00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:19.800
Jesus Christ literally was born in Bethlehem, actually lived, trafficked up and down the

40
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:26.280
Galilee into Judea, 33 and a quarter years.

41
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:35.400
The entire Roman Empire, believers and unbelievers alike, both religious and civic, watched his crucifixion.

42
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:41.040
An actual legal, recorded, secular event.

43
00:02:41.040 --> 00:02:44.040
And on the third day, he rose again from the dead.

44
00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:46.320
That's not only recorded in the Bible.

45
00:02:46.320 --> 00:02:48.360
Rome had to cope with that.

46
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:54.440
And even to this hour, the name of Jesus is a threat to unbelievers all around the world.

47
00:02:54.440 --> 00:03:01.680
Pagan governments, godless nations, communist regimes, think about it.

48
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.080
And by the way, those things don't have to be far, far away.

49
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.240
It could be in your own home.

50
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:07.720
I met a woman after last service.

51
00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:10.840
She says, I'm the only believer in my home.

52
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.680
I come here for peace, study of the Word, and then I go home and I get a whole mouthful

53
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:16.680
of it all.

54
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:17.680
There you go.

55
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:18.680
How was it?

56
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:22.480
Did you see God?

57
00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:25.680
Amazing.

58
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.960
And then also, listen, we've been liberated, set free from sin that grieves us.

59
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:35.240
Of course, it grieves God, but it grieves us as well.

60
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.960
There's no condemnation though in Christ Jesus, I mean longer.

61
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.560
This is a beautiful example.

62
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:41.800
It's Acts chapter 2.

63
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.000
You got to love this.

64
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:44.040
The Holy Spirit, remember this.

65
00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:45.040
Jesus said, I'm leaving.

66
00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:46.040
I just read that moment ago.

67
00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:47.880
Yeah, I'm going in Acts chapter 1.

68
00:03:47.880 --> 00:03:49.680
He says, goodbye.

69
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:53.600
When I, listen, I'm going to go to the Father and he's going to send the helper I was just

70
00:03:53.600 --> 00:03:55.400
talking to you about in John.

71
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.240
In John's gospel, I'm going to send the helper.

72
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:07.720
And when he comes, you'll receive power and dub.

73
00:04:07.720 --> 00:04:13.000
That day that he came, by the way, the day the Holy Spirit came was the 50th day after

74
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.000
Jesus had left.

75
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:16.000
50.

76
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.840
Do you know what Pentecost means?

77
00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:18.840
50.

78
00:04:18.840 --> 00:04:26.000
In some parts of the world, Pentecostal believers are called 50-day Christians, isn't that cute?

79
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:27.000
What do they believe in?

80
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.880
They believe in the power of the Holy Spirit.

81
00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:30.800
So I guess I'm one of them.

82
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.840
So Peter said, now, Peter, this is, this is fishermen, Peter, up until now he's done

83
00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:36.360
nothing but make mistakes.

84
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.200
You know that?

85
00:04:38.200 --> 00:04:42.040
Open mouth, insert foot, Peter.

86
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.320
But the Holy Spirit's come upon him.

87
00:04:44.320 --> 00:04:49.680
Just moments ago, watch what happens, therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that

88
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:54.240
God has made this Jesus whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.

89
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:59.040
Now when they had heard this, they were cut to the heart, convicted, and said to Peter

90
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:03.400
and the rest of the apostles, men and brethren, what shall we do?

91
00:05:03.400 --> 00:05:04.920
That's the answer, everybody.

92
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:06.920
What do I do about what I'm hearing?

93
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:12.640
Not, when are you going to shut your mouth so I can get out of your pastor?

94
00:05:12.640 --> 00:05:13.640
And you harden your heart?

95
00:05:13.640 --> 00:05:15.000
It's not me.

96
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:16.520
You're looking at the truth of God.

97
00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:20.680
What will you do when God says, I found you out?

98
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:24.880
These guys were tender enough to say, what do we do?

99
00:05:24.880 --> 00:05:26.840
Then Peter said to them, repent.

100
00:05:26.840 --> 00:05:30.880
Everybody gets offended at this, what do we repent?

101
00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:34.600
The word simply means change your mind.

102
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:39.240
Your mind has been going the wrong way, change it.

103
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:40.240
Change your mind.

104
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:44.280
Let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their

105
00:05:44.280 --> 00:05:45.280
sins.

106
00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:49.560
And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit for the promises to you and to your children

107
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:54.200
and to all who are far off as many as the Lord our God will call.

108
00:05:54.200 --> 00:05:56.320
Is that awesome?

109
00:05:56.320 --> 00:05:58.160
Amazing.

110
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.400
And beautiful.

111
00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:04.040
Isaiah 45, verse 22, I love this verse.

112
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:11.440
Isaiah 45, 22, I'm going to read it in the Geneva Bible, 1599, Geneva Bible, 1599.

113
00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:16.440
This is the Bible, by the way, that the pilgrim fathers, when they sailed over from Europe

114
00:06:16.440 --> 00:06:21.760
to Plymouth, they had this Bible, look unto me and you shall be saved.

115
00:06:21.760 --> 00:06:23.600
This is God speaking through Isaiah.

116
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.680
Look unto me and you shall be saved.

117
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.760
All the ends of the earth shall be saved.

118
00:06:28.760 --> 00:06:32.320
For I am God and there is none other.

119
00:06:32.320 --> 00:06:33.320
Did you love this?

120
00:06:33.320 --> 00:06:34.320
This is God speaking.

121
00:06:34.320 --> 00:06:35.320
God is saying watch.

122
00:06:35.320 --> 00:06:37.400
Hey, the whole world looked to me.

123
00:06:37.400 --> 00:06:39.880
I want to save you, everybody.

124
00:06:39.880 --> 00:06:43.720
And then look, look unto me individually.

125
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.080
Look unto me.

126
00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:47.080
Be saved.

127
00:06:47.080 --> 00:06:50.680
Hey, whole earth, world, look to me.

128
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:51.680
And be saved.

129
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:56.160
I want to ask you something, how much money does it cost you to look?

130
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:57.960
You know what the thing is about looking?

131
00:06:57.960 --> 00:07:00.760
You have to have a will.

132
00:07:00.760 --> 00:07:06.360
Wouldn't it be great if we could just pay people to get saved?

133
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.360
You know, don't we have loved ones that are not saved?

134
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:09.360
Wouldn't it be great?

135
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:10.360
How much?

136
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:11.360
What is this?

137
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:12.360
She's 39.95.

138
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:13.360
Okay.

139
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.360
All right, I'll pay that.

140
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:18.360
Boom.

141
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:19.360
Stamp.

142
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:20.360
You're saved.

143
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:24.400
Wouldn't that be great?

144
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:30.120
Listen, God's not a pimp.

145
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.520
You can't prostitute salvation.

146
00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:36.400
Just pay this and you go free.

147
00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:39.600
Listen, I'm stepping on some toes pretty heavy right now.

148
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.080
Just pay this and you can do that.

149
00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:44.320
Are you hearing me?

150
00:07:44.320 --> 00:07:45.920
A Christian can't think that way.

151
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.240
You know why the Holy Spirit won't allow it?

152
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:52.480
The thought might end in your mind, but then he says, knock it off.

153
00:07:52.520 --> 00:07:54.560
And you take the conviction and say,

154
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:55.600
Lord, forgive me.

155
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.200
I'm so sorry that it was terrible.

156
00:07:58.200 --> 00:08:01.400
Thank you, Lord, for forgiving me on the blood of Jesus.

157
00:08:01.400 --> 00:08:02.760
I thank you, God, amen.

158
00:08:02.760 --> 00:08:05.680
And you're free, okay?

159
00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:12.240
But he doesn't take his gospel and monetize it.

160
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:14.600
Now, you know what?

161
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:18.080
How in the world it's got to be relational.

162
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:20.280
You got to wanna.

163
00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:22.600
You got to be willing.

164
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.800
You got to see the answer.

165
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:27.000
So look unto me.

166
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:31.760
Legalists get upset with that verse in Isaiah.

167
00:08:31.760 --> 00:08:33.440
It's got to be more difficult than that.

168
00:08:34.680 --> 00:08:35.920
For you, it is.

169
00:08:37.520 --> 00:08:39.440
For me, I'm going to look.

170
00:08:41.640 --> 00:08:42.720
It's amazing.

171
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:47.480
Next, he frees us from the burdens that lead to suffering.

172
00:08:47.560 --> 00:08:50.040
Christian, you don't need to be carrying burdens

173
00:08:51.560 --> 00:08:53.960
that have you, that you have installed upon yourself

174
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:55.120
in your relationship with God.

175
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.840
Not on pray long enough.

176
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.080
Okay, so tell me, show me where it says, how many hours?

177
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:05.720
Prayer is not something you do.

178
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.720
Prayer is an attitude you have.

179
00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:10.720
Talk to God constantly.

180
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:11.960
It's not for an hour.

181
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:13.280
Why live in it to an hour?

182
00:09:14.280 --> 00:09:18.280
All the time, the Bible says, just keep communicating

183
00:09:18.280 --> 00:09:20.280
with Him without ceasing.

184
00:09:20.280 --> 00:09:22.280
I'm gonna paraphrase this, you can write it down.

185
00:09:22.280 --> 00:09:23.280
Here's the address.

186
00:09:23.280 --> 00:09:26.280
It's Acts chapter 16 verses 22 to 31.

187
00:09:26.280 --> 00:09:28.280
This is what happened.

188
00:09:28.280 --> 00:09:30.280
Paul and Silas are preaching the gospel.

189
00:09:30.280 --> 00:09:31.280
They got in trouble.

190
00:09:31.280 --> 00:09:34.280
The religious leadership got a hold of the Roman Empire

191
00:09:34.280 --> 00:09:37.280
and they said, we gotta shut these guys up.

192
00:09:37.280 --> 00:09:40.280
Created some story about them, got them arrested,

193
00:09:41.280 --> 00:09:43.280
and had them thrown in jail.

194
00:09:44.280 --> 00:09:47.280
And it says that they were ordered to be put in the stocks.

195
00:09:49.280 --> 00:09:51.280
We were in Boston and they had,

196
00:09:51.280 --> 00:09:54.280
do you guys know what stocks are or do it that's like?

197
00:09:54.280 --> 00:09:57.280
Stocks, so your feet are here and your hands are here

198
00:09:57.280 --> 00:09:59.280
and this wood and your hang in there.

199
00:09:59.280 --> 00:10:02.280
Let me tell you, I lasted 10 seconds.

200
00:10:02.280 --> 00:10:05.280
It's excruciating, painful, terrible.

201
00:10:06.280 --> 00:10:10.280
And they were there and the Bible says

202
00:10:10.280 --> 00:10:13.280
that all the prisoners were there as well.

203
00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:16.280
And the Bible says that midnight,

204
00:10:16.280 --> 00:10:19.280
Paul and Silas began to pray.

205
00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:21.280
Can you imagine?

206
00:10:21.280 --> 00:10:23.280
Who knows what they said, but knowing Paul,

207
00:10:23.280 --> 00:10:26.280
it's something like, Lord, I hate these stocks.

208
00:10:26.280 --> 00:10:30.280
They hurt my body, but my life is more than my body right now.

209
00:10:30.280 --> 00:10:32.280
So you've got a plan for this,

210
00:10:32.280 --> 00:10:35.280
because I'm gonna, later on, write in the book of Hebrews,

211
00:10:35.280 --> 00:10:38.280
all things work together for good to those who love the Lord,

212
00:10:38.280 --> 00:10:40.280
to those who are called according to his purpose.

213
00:10:40.280 --> 00:10:42.280
And apparently this is your purpose.

214
00:10:42.280 --> 00:10:46.280
So God, we're just asking you to show yourself.

215
00:10:46.280 --> 00:10:47.280
What's up?

216
00:10:47.280 --> 00:10:49.280
What do you want us to say or do?

217
00:10:50.280 --> 00:10:52.280
And maybe Silas, it doesn't say,

218
00:10:52.280 --> 00:10:54.280
it says they began to sing songs.

219
00:10:54.280 --> 00:10:55.280
Can you imagine?

220
00:10:56.280 --> 00:10:57.280
Hey, you know what?

221
00:10:58.280 --> 00:11:00.280
I feel like we should sing some songs now.

222
00:11:01.280 --> 00:11:02.280
Can you imagine?

223
00:11:03.280 --> 00:11:05.280
Silas, you in pain, total pain.

224
00:11:05.280 --> 00:11:07.280
Let's sing a song.

225
00:11:07.280 --> 00:11:09.280
Let's sing a song about that.

226
00:11:09.280 --> 00:11:13.280
They start singing a song in worship to God.

227
00:11:13.280 --> 00:11:16.280
And the Bible says an earthquake hit the prison.

228
00:11:18.280 --> 00:11:20.280
And it says all of the doors to the prison,

229
00:11:20.280 --> 00:11:23.280
doors of all the prisoners opened up

230
00:11:23.280 --> 00:11:26.280
and all of their shackles fell off.

231
00:11:27.280 --> 00:11:32.280
The problem is Paul and Silas, they were in stocks.

232
00:11:32.280 --> 00:11:35.280
Everybody's free, and they're singing.

233
00:11:36.280 --> 00:11:39.280
This little light of mine.

234
00:11:39.280 --> 00:11:41.280
And all the doors opened up.

235
00:11:42.280 --> 00:11:45.280
And the jailer who's responsible

236
00:11:45.280 --> 00:11:48.280
sees what's happened and a jailer in the Roman Empire

237
00:11:48.280 --> 00:11:51.280
if prisoners got loose and you're the jailer,

238
00:11:51.280 --> 00:11:53.280
the Bible says that he pulled out a knife to kill himself.

239
00:11:53.280 --> 00:11:55.280
That's the right thing to do.

240
00:11:55.280 --> 00:11:58.280
Because the Roman Empire would have tortured him to death

241
00:11:58.280 --> 00:12:00.280
for blowing it on the job.

242
00:12:00.280 --> 00:12:03.280
Can you imagine HR rules today?

243
00:12:05.280 --> 00:12:07.280
You imagine in and out, you didn't flip that right.

244
00:12:07.280 --> 00:12:09.280
You didn't flip that burger right.

245
00:12:10.280 --> 00:12:12.280
That's what they did then.

246
00:12:12.280 --> 00:12:14.280
So the guy said, that's not going to kill myself.

247
00:12:14.280 --> 00:12:16.280
They're all escaping and Paul said,

248
00:12:16.280 --> 00:12:18.280
don't do yourself any harm.

249
00:12:18.280 --> 00:12:20.280
We're all here.

250
00:12:21.280 --> 00:12:23.280
Why would a bunch of prisoners not run away?

251
00:12:23.280 --> 00:12:25.280
They were free to go.

252
00:12:25.280 --> 00:12:27.280
They stayed.

253
00:12:27.280 --> 00:12:30.280
And the jailer ran and fell down before them and said,

254
00:12:30.280 --> 00:12:32.280
what must I do to be saved?

255
00:12:32.280 --> 00:12:35.280
Let me tell you something right now.

256
00:12:35.280 --> 00:12:38.280
If God is going to move among His people,

257
00:12:38.280 --> 00:12:41.280
that will be the result.

258
00:12:41.280 --> 00:12:43.280
A lot of people talking about revival right now.

259
00:12:43.280 --> 00:12:45.280
We'll see.

260
00:12:45.280 --> 00:12:48.280
We have to wait and see.

261
00:12:48.280 --> 00:12:50.280
What I've seen in a lot of conversations

262
00:12:51.280 --> 00:12:53.280
is that people are experiencing church

263
00:12:53.280 --> 00:12:55.280
who have been deprived of church for years now,

264
00:12:55.280 --> 00:12:56.280
last couple of years.

265
00:12:56.280 --> 00:12:57.280
And now they're having church again.

266
00:12:57.280 --> 00:12:59.280
That's great.

267
00:12:59.280 --> 00:13:01.280
God bless, let's do it.

268
00:13:01.280 --> 00:13:03.280
And let's do it across the nation.

269
00:13:03.280 --> 00:13:05.280
But here's the thing.

270
00:13:05.280 --> 00:13:06.280
When you talk about revival,

271
00:13:06.280 --> 00:13:08.280
we need to be careful about what we're talking about.

272
00:13:08.280 --> 00:13:10.280
It's not about you feeling good.

273
00:13:10.280 --> 00:13:11.280
That's right.

274
00:13:11.280 --> 00:13:13.280
It's about you being revived.

275
00:13:13.280 --> 00:13:14.280
You know what?

276
00:13:14.280 --> 00:13:15.280
Revival can only happen to believers.

277
00:13:15.280 --> 00:13:16.280
Did you know that?

278
00:13:16.280 --> 00:13:19.280
You never want to have the world revived.

279
00:13:20.280 --> 00:13:22.280
That's not a good thing.

280
00:13:22.280 --> 00:13:25.280
All you have to do is go to Sacramento to figure that one out.

281
00:13:25.280 --> 00:13:27.280
You don't want the world revived.

282
00:13:27.280 --> 00:13:29.280
You want the church revived.

283
00:13:29.280 --> 00:13:31.280
And when the church is revived,

284
00:13:31.280 --> 00:13:34.280
it gets so beautiful that you can sing songs at midnight

285
00:13:34.280 --> 00:13:36.280
and the world says,

286
00:13:36.280 --> 00:13:38.280
what must we do to be saved?

287
00:13:38.280 --> 00:13:41.280
Revival leads to an awakening.

288
00:13:41.280 --> 00:13:44.280
Don't ever confuse it.

289
00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:47.280
Revival must lead to awakening

290
00:13:47.280 --> 00:13:52.280
and revival must have holiness.

291
00:13:52.280 --> 00:13:54.280
And the world will say,

292
00:13:54.280 --> 00:13:56.280
I want what you have.

293
00:13:56.280 --> 00:13:59.280
By the way, the whole country could be lost.

294
00:13:59.280 --> 00:14:02.280
But you personally can have a revival all by yourself

295
00:14:02.280 --> 00:14:04.280
as you walk with Jesus.

296
00:14:04.280 --> 00:14:05.280
You can have it.

297
00:14:05.280 --> 00:14:09.280
You can be in that prison and have a revival.

298
00:14:09.280 --> 00:14:14.280
And you'll affect other people everywhere you go.

299
00:14:14.280 --> 00:14:20.280
Listen, he takes away our sorrows that would tend to consume us.

300
00:14:20.280 --> 00:14:24.280
There is no condemnation.

301
00:14:24.280 --> 00:14:28.280
You have the sentence lifted from you.

302
00:14:28.280 --> 00:14:31.280
You're no longer ordered to prison.

303
00:14:31.280 --> 00:14:32.280
It's been lifted.

304
00:14:32.280 --> 00:14:37.280
We also know that we should and ought not to worry.

305
00:14:37.280 --> 00:14:38.280
Worry that blinds us.

306
00:14:38.280 --> 00:14:41.280
You know why you can't see God's favor sometimes, Christian?

307
00:14:41.280 --> 00:14:44.280
You know why you're not celebrating and enjoying the fact

308
00:14:44.280 --> 00:14:45.280
that you're not condemned.

309
00:14:45.280 --> 00:14:46.280
You're liberated and free.

310
00:14:46.280 --> 00:14:48.280
It's because you worry.

311
00:14:48.280 --> 00:14:50.280
And when you worry, listen, we all know this.

312
00:14:50.280 --> 00:14:52.280
When you worry, it blinds you to the reality of things

313
00:14:52.280 --> 00:14:54.280
that are right in front of you.

314
00:14:54.280 --> 00:14:58.280
It's hard to trust God when you're worrying.

315
00:14:58.280 --> 00:15:01.280
And you're not going to have any peace when you're worrying.

316
00:15:01.280 --> 00:15:02.280
Are you Christian? Yes, I'm a Christian.

317
00:15:02.280 --> 00:15:04.280
Oh, I'm just worried sick about that thing.

318
00:15:04.280 --> 00:15:05.280
Trust God.

319
00:15:05.280 --> 00:15:06.280
I try to trust the Lord.

320
00:15:06.280 --> 00:15:09.280
I'm just worried sick about that thing.

321
00:15:09.280 --> 00:15:15.280
Dude, you got to pick one.

322
00:15:15.280 --> 00:15:17.280
The worry will blind you.

323
00:15:17.280 --> 00:15:18.280
You're Christian.

324
00:15:18.280 --> 00:15:20.280
You're going to heaven.

325
00:15:20.280 --> 00:15:24.280
But you've been derailed and hindered.

326
00:15:24.280 --> 00:15:30.280
Yesterday, I had a chance to speak to great gathering

327
00:15:30.280 --> 00:15:36.280
of Christian children's ministers all over.

328
00:15:36.280 --> 00:15:40.280
In fact, some from Japan and Canada and Australia

329
00:15:40.280 --> 00:15:43.280
was amazing.

330
00:15:43.280 --> 00:15:47.280
And the passage of Scripture I used when Jesus said,

331
00:15:47.280 --> 00:15:50.280
forbid not the little children to come to me.

332
00:15:50.280 --> 00:15:53.280
In that word, forbid not.

333
00:15:53.280 --> 00:15:56.280
Don't put stumbling blocks in front of the little kids

334
00:15:56.280 --> 00:15:58.280
so that it's hard for them to get to me.

335
00:15:58.280 --> 00:16:00.280
But you love that about God's heart.

336
00:16:00.280 --> 00:16:03.280
God says, don't put an obstacle course between me and kids.

337
00:16:03.280 --> 00:16:06.280
They need to be able to run straight to me.

338
00:16:06.280 --> 00:16:07.280
What's wrong with you guys?

339
00:16:07.280 --> 00:16:08.280
And he was rebuking his disciples.

340
00:16:08.280 --> 00:16:09.280
Peter, you're bozo.

341
00:16:09.280 --> 00:16:11.280
What are you doing?

342
00:16:11.280 --> 00:16:12.280
Don't do that.

343
00:16:12.280 --> 00:16:13.280
Don't hold the kids back.

344
00:16:13.280 --> 00:16:15.280
James, back off.

345
00:16:15.280 --> 00:16:16.280
Let the kids come straight to me.

346
00:16:16.280 --> 00:16:18.280
You guys, come on.

347
00:16:18.280 --> 00:16:19.280
It's awesome.

348
00:16:19.280 --> 00:16:22.280
I would love to see that.

349
00:16:22.280 --> 00:16:24.280
God doesn't want any hindrances.

350
00:16:24.280 --> 00:16:31.280
He doesn't want any stone walls between you and him.

351
00:16:31.280 --> 00:16:34.280
We're going to meet that woman who was caught in the act of adultery.

352
00:16:34.280 --> 00:16:35.280
We're going to meet her in heaven.

353
00:16:35.280 --> 00:16:36.280
Can you imagine?

354
00:16:36.280 --> 00:16:38.280
Hey, I read about you in chapter 8.

355
00:16:38.280 --> 00:16:41.280
John's Gospel.

356
00:16:41.280 --> 00:16:42.280
What was that?

357
00:16:42.280 --> 00:16:46.280
How'd that come down?

358
00:16:46.280 --> 00:16:47.280
She'll say, can you imagine?

359
00:16:47.280 --> 00:16:52.280
She'll say, do you know I was this close to being stone to death?

360
00:16:52.280 --> 00:16:54.280
And here's the thing, Jack.

361
00:16:54.280 --> 00:16:56.280
They would have been completely justified in stone to me to death,

362
00:16:56.280 --> 00:17:00.280
because that's what the law said.

363
00:17:00.280 --> 00:17:04.280
But the moment I saw Jesus, he looked up when he looked at me,

364
00:17:04.280 --> 00:17:06.280
when he looked at me.

365
00:17:06.280 --> 00:17:07.280
I knew something.

366
00:17:07.280 --> 00:17:09.280
I didn't know what, but I knew.

367
00:17:09.280 --> 00:17:14.280
With one look, he was going to do something.

368
00:17:14.280 --> 00:17:19.280
And just with his actions and his words, he rescued me.

369
00:17:19.280 --> 00:17:21.280
And I determined right then and there,

370
00:17:21.280 --> 00:17:23.280
I'll never be the person I used to be.

371
00:17:23.280 --> 00:17:25.280
I don't want to be that person anymore.

372
00:17:25.280 --> 00:17:27.280
I want him to have all of me.

373
00:17:27.280 --> 00:17:30.280
And he told me to get up and go live my life.

374
00:17:30.280 --> 00:17:33.280
And I lived the rest of my life for him.

375
00:17:33.280 --> 00:17:35.280
Can you imagine the story she's going to show?

376
00:17:35.280 --> 00:17:37.280
She's going to be able to point out to people.

377
00:17:37.280 --> 00:17:39.280
You see all those people they came to.

378
00:17:39.280 --> 00:17:42.280
They came to Christ because of what Jesus did in my life.

379
00:17:42.280 --> 00:17:45.280
What about the thief on the cross?

380
00:17:45.280 --> 00:17:48.280
Who was guilty of all kinds of crimes?

381
00:17:48.280 --> 00:17:50.280
At the last minute!

382
00:17:50.280 --> 00:17:53.280
Get saved!

383
00:17:53.280 --> 00:17:55.280
Kind of stories.

384
00:17:55.280 --> 00:17:57.280
I only hear from people for eternity.

385
00:17:57.280 --> 00:17:58.280
People are going to be saying,

386
00:17:58.280 --> 00:18:01.280
I was on my deathbed and somebody read me your story.

387
00:18:01.280 --> 00:18:02.280
I gave him a heart to Christ.

388
00:18:02.280 --> 00:18:05.280
Just like you did in that last moment.

389
00:18:05.280 --> 00:18:07.280
And then with end here,

390
00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:09.280
it's freedom from fear.

391
00:18:09.280 --> 00:18:12.280
Fear produces hopelessness people.

392
00:18:12.280 --> 00:18:15.280
There is, therefore, now,

393
00:18:15.280 --> 00:18:19.280
no condemnation

394
00:18:19.280 --> 00:18:22.280
to those who are in Christ Jesus.
