00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.300
Real Life presents the Jack Kibb's podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim truth

2
00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:15.380
equip the saints and impact our culture.

3
00:00:15.380 --> 00:00:18.860
Why is socialism rising among our young people today?

4
00:00:18.860 --> 00:00:23.200
Why is Marxism and Communism rising in our nation today?

5
00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:24.960
It's simple answer.

6
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:26.300
It's the same story.

7
00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:33.220
There is no strong evidence of a church that really believes in the power of God and heaven

8
00:00:33.220 --> 00:00:41.780
and the urgency of the human soul and the things of God.

9
00:00:41.780 --> 00:00:47.980

00:00:47.980 --> 00:00:54.220
Today, if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled life in Christ,

11
00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:57.460
then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings.

12
00:00:57.460 --> 00:01:04.060
To us, that's like saying, amen or yes, then that rating will encourage others to listen.

13
00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:07.580
Now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you.

14
00:01:07.580 --> 00:01:10.500
Here is Jack Kibb's.

15
00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:18.980
First Samuel 30, verse one, now it happened when David and his men came to Zickleg on the

16
00:01:18.980 --> 00:01:25.480
third day that the amelikites had invaded the South and Zickleg attacked the Zickleg and

17
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:32.900
burned it with fire and had taken captive, listen to this, the women and those who were

18
00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:35.840
there from small to great.

19
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:40.780
They did not kill anyone but carried them away and went their way.

20
00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:47.320
So David and his men came to the city and there it was burned with fire and their wives,

21
00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:53.660
their sons and their daughters had been taken captive, then David and the people who

22
00:01:53.660 --> 00:02:02.100
were with them lifted up their voices and wept until they had no more power to weep.

23
00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:09.040
And David's two wives, a HNOM, the Jezure Lightis and Abigail, the widow of Nabal, the

24
00:02:09.040 --> 00:02:11.720
Carmelite had been taken captive.

25
00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:16.620
Now David was greatly distressed, listen to this, if that wasn't enough for David.

26
00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:23.900
For the people spoke of stoning him because the soul of all the people was grieved, every

27
00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:29.960
man for his sons and his daughters, okay, so they lost the city, they lost their wives

28
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:35.480
and sons and daughters and now they're going to take it out on David.

29
00:02:35.480 --> 00:02:40.260
I get that emotionally but it's sad, but look at that last statement of verse six, but

30
00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:44.300
David strengthened himself in the Lord, his God.

31
00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:46.060
You ought to mark that down.

32
00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:48.300
That's when we're talking about tonight.

33
00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:51.860
We need to stop, we need to learn how to stop the noise that's going on in our lives and

34
00:02:51.860 --> 00:02:58.220
what's happening in the world around us, all the stuff that's happening, friends, either

35
00:02:58.220 --> 00:03:05.180
I hope anyway, I hope that you are happily ignorant to so much of what's going on in the world,

36
00:03:05.180 --> 00:03:10.260
I don't mean that in a rude way, it's probably best for you not to know, you know like again

37
00:03:10.260 --> 00:03:18.260
on the medical theme, I've been told, maybe you have to, that doctors make the worst patients.

38
00:03:18.260 --> 00:03:20.500
Why is that true?

39
00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:25.500
Because doctors know what can go wrong, doctors know what can happen.

40
00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:32.860
When doctors feel a lump in their own body, their mind goes down a litany of self-examination

41
00:03:32.860 --> 00:03:37.020
because they know too much about lumps.

42
00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:42.140
So they begin to self-diagnose and they can get themselves all worked up.

43
00:03:42.140 --> 00:03:45.700
Of course, you and I go into the doctor office and there's a lump, they just say, I don't

44
00:03:45.700 --> 00:03:47.020
worry about it.

45
00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:48.020
Why do they say that?

46
00:03:48.020 --> 00:03:54.980
Because it's not their body, it's your body.

47
00:03:54.980 --> 00:03:59.860
I just insult, every doctor is going to get up and leave the building now.

48
00:03:59.860 --> 00:04:06.740
But what we need to do is be very, very careful about the news that is coming at us, news

49
00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:16.220
from your health, news from the news, news from the world, news from church, news from life.

50
00:04:16.220 --> 00:04:20.740
And I would say tonight more than ever, it's time for us to strengthen ourselves in the

51
00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:23.140
Lord.

52
00:04:23.140 --> 00:04:26.860
Everything may feel or seem to be lost.

53
00:04:26.860 --> 00:04:31.140
My heart was broken last Sunday here in the campus where a family came up and they were

54
00:04:31.140 --> 00:04:42.980
just weeping because they're loved one, they're grandmother, was just consumed with

55
00:04:42.980 --> 00:04:50.020
isolation and being ostracized not intentionally, but because of COVID, decisions made by family.

56
00:04:50.020 --> 00:04:55.540
You know, we can't see you and she said, I don't care, come and see me, I'm old.

57
00:04:55.540 --> 00:04:59.220
Don't think about that, that's normal.

58
00:04:59.220 --> 00:05:04.180
That's normal when somebody who's 85 years old says, get over here and see me, I don't

59
00:05:04.180 --> 00:05:10.100
care if I catch a cold or fall down the stairs, I've lived my life, I want to see my grandkids.

60
00:05:10.100 --> 00:05:11.100
Get over here.

61
00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:19.460
Oh no, no, we can't come, we might get sick and that working in lives of people unchecked

62
00:05:19.460 --> 00:05:32.060
in this day and age which is disgusting, it's inhumane, leads to suicide and it's tragic.

63
00:05:32.060 --> 00:05:39.140
And so we need to stop the infringement upon our peace that Christ has given us.

64
00:05:39.140 --> 00:05:45.340
We need to stop the onslaught of the rhetoric of the world that has no hope, please church

65
00:05:45.420 --> 00:05:52.300
listen up, the world has no hope, but they're trying to tell you, trust us, trust us.

66
00:05:52.300 --> 00:05:58.180
The world has no leadership, but the world is saying follow us, follow us.

67
00:05:58.180 --> 00:06:03.460
The world is saying, listen to us, we are the experts and they know nothing.

68
00:06:03.460 --> 00:06:06.580
God is frustrating, is he not the world right now?

69
00:06:06.580 --> 00:06:14.020
The world is trying to pull itself together and nothing's working.

70
00:06:14.020 --> 00:06:18.940
I'm preparing for this message, I read this and I'm wondering if you know who it is.

71
00:06:18.940 --> 00:06:23.300
In fact, I think you'll know exactly who it is at the end of this sentence.

72
00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:30.620
Religion this person said is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless

73
00:06:30.620 --> 00:06:39.060
world and the soul of a soulless conditions, it is the opium of the people.

74
00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:41.340
Karl Marx said that.

75
00:06:41.340 --> 00:06:45.260
It's kind of nice if you think about it upfront, but when he comes down to the end of it,

76
00:06:45.260 --> 00:06:48.860
that it's the opium of the people, it's the stupor of the people.

77
00:06:48.860 --> 00:06:54.060
Karl Marx had no appetite for the things that faith brings to your life.

78
00:06:54.060 --> 00:06:57.540
He was opposed to all of that.

79
00:06:57.540 --> 00:07:02.540
The reason why I bring this up is because today Marxism and communism and socialism

80
00:07:02.540 --> 00:07:05.340
is rampant in America right now.

81
00:07:05.340 --> 00:07:10.020
And of course the Marxist, Karl Marx hated competition.

82
00:07:10.020 --> 00:07:19.220
So he sought to do away with God and elevate his ideology and his mindset about how people

83
00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:27.460
who are weak and have religion and faith in God, they need that because they really don't

84
00:07:27.460 --> 00:07:28.460
have any hope.

85
00:07:28.460 --> 00:07:30.100
Now listen to this.

86
00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:39.340
So he initiated his worldview instead of God, Karl Marx.

87
00:07:39.340 --> 00:07:43.260
And what was interesting about that is when you read about his time in the age in which

88
00:07:43.260 --> 00:07:48.900
we lived in, or they lived in, it was interesting to find out that the reason why Karl Marx

89
00:07:48.900 --> 00:07:55.620
concluded what he did was because the church that he saw was a hollowed out structure

90
00:07:55.620 --> 00:07:58.380
called Christianity was powerless.

91
00:07:58.380 --> 00:08:00.060
He didn't see any effect.

92
00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:04.700
Think about the age, listen, think about how history repeats itself.

93
00:08:04.700 --> 00:08:07.100
He saw a church that was not effective.

94
00:08:07.100 --> 00:08:13.980
He saw a church that didn't represent anything that caused him to think again about God

95
00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:15.500
or eternity or heaven or hell.

96
00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:16.500
Are you with me?

97
00:08:16.500 --> 00:08:18.060
He didn't see a witness.

98
00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:22.140
So listen, when there's a void, the void is filled.

99
00:08:22.140 --> 00:08:31.500
So Karl Marx propagated his socialistic, godless belief system, which is now Marxism

100
00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:38.820
today or socialism or communism, whatever fasted of it, because there wasn't a strong witness

101
00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:40.900
regarding the kingdom of heaven.

102
00:08:40.900 --> 00:08:44.380
And you look around at the world today and you look around right now and you think about

103
00:08:44.380 --> 00:08:47.620
what's happening and I see the same thing.

104
00:08:48.620 --> 00:08:52.140
Why is socialism rising among our young people today?

105
00:08:52.140 --> 00:08:56.540
Why is Marxism and communism rising in our nation today?

106
00:08:56.540 --> 00:08:58.380
It's simple answer.

107
00:08:58.380 --> 00:08:59.900
It's the same.

108
00:08:59.900 --> 00:09:01.260
It's the same story.

109
00:09:01.260 --> 00:09:07.380
There is no strong evidence of a church that really believes in the power of God and

110
00:09:07.380 --> 00:09:14.780
heaven and the urgency of the human soul and the things of God.

111
00:09:14.780 --> 00:09:15.780
There's compromise.

112
00:09:15.780 --> 00:09:16.780
There's weakness.

113
00:09:16.780 --> 00:09:18.060
There's a fascination.

114
00:09:18.060 --> 00:09:22.260
And so there's a void in what is called church in America right now.

115
00:09:22.260 --> 00:09:27.340
And so this new religion of atheism is rising.

116
00:09:27.340 --> 00:09:29.780
And so what do we do about that?

117
00:09:29.780 --> 00:09:34.380
What we do about that is we first begin to realize that in our lives there's some things

118
00:09:34.380 --> 00:09:37.620
that we need to stop and redo.

119
00:09:37.620 --> 00:09:42.020
And I hope again, I pray this is encouragement to us tonight.

120
00:09:42.020 --> 00:09:46.740
Before we dive into them, number one is first Timothy, chapter three.

121
00:09:46.740 --> 00:09:48.820
Verse 15, this is an incredible verse.

122
00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:49.820
Look, it's still in the Bible.

123
00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:51.300
I check today.

124
00:09:51.300 --> 00:09:53.060
It's still there.

125
00:09:53.060 --> 00:09:54.060
It's still there.

126
00:09:54.060 --> 00:09:55.740
But do we believe in church?

127
00:09:55.740 --> 00:10:00.380
It says there Paul writes to Timothy, he says, I write so that you may know how you ought

128
00:10:00.380 --> 00:10:08.620
to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar

129
00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:13.420
and ground of all what of the what of the truth.

130
00:10:13.420 --> 00:10:14.420
Do we listen?

131
00:10:14.420 --> 00:10:15.420
You don't have to respond.

132
00:10:15.420 --> 00:10:16.980
You're asking sarcastically.

133
00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:18.500
Do we really believe that?

134
00:10:18.500 --> 00:10:24.700
If that verses true, then the church and the Christian is the source for what should

135
00:10:24.700 --> 00:10:31.460
be right in the culture or in our community, on our street or in our nation.

136
00:10:31.460 --> 00:10:34.500
We have God's word, we have God's truth.

137
00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:38.020
And that being said, I want to just march through these things right now.

138
00:10:38.020 --> 00:10:39.820
Number one, mark this down if you would.

139
00:10:39.820 --> 00:10:48.060
We need to stop and consider this, stop to know God is present.

140
00:10:48.060 --> 00:10:52.980
When the Bible says that David strengthened himself in the Lord, can you imagine the city

141
00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:54.660
is burning?

142
00:10:54.660 --> 00:10:56.580
There's no sound of kids.

143
00:10:56.580 --> 00:10:57.580
They've all been taken away.

144
00:10:57.580 --> 00:11:00.980
Your kids have been taken captive and your wives have been carted off.

145
00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:06.420
And I don't know, when I read that in 1 Samuel 30, when I read that, I thought of this

146
00:11:06.420 --> 00:11:07.420
first.

147
00:11:07.420 --> 00:11:12.820
It would have been better for your children to have perished.

148
00:11:12.820 --> 00:11:13.820
Have you ever thought about that?

149
00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:17.660
Have you ever lost your kid for 10 minutes?

150
00:11:17.660 --> 00:11:20.180
You know that hole you have in your gut?

151
00:11:20.180 --> 00:11:25.780
We lost our young daughter one time in a memory of the store called Mervins.

152
00:11:25.780 --> 00:11:27.580
We lost our daughter in Mervins.

153
00:11:27.580 --> 00:11:28.580
You know what that little stinker did?

154
00:11:28.580 --> 00:11:29.820
She was like three years old.

155
00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:31.220
She climbed up inside.

156
00:11:31.220 --> 00:11:36.740
You know the racks, and on the inside, you can't see anybody on the inside and you can't

157
00:11:36.740 --> 00:11:37.740
see her feet.

158
00:11:37.740 --> 00:11:42.500
We're laying down on the store floor, calling her name, looking and seeing no little feet

159
00:11:42.500 --> 00:11:43.500
running around.

160
00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:50.660
I remember running to the front doors of the store and saying, nobody gets out, nobody

161
00:11:50.660 --> 00:11:52.140
leaves.

162
00:11:52.140 --> 00:11:53.900
My daughter was gone.

163
00:11:53.900 --> 00:11:54.900
Lisa's freaking out.

164
00:11:54.900 --> 00:11:55.900
We're all freaking out.

165
00:11:55.900 --> 00:12:00.020
And she thought she was having fun playing a little game.

166
00:12:00.020 --> 00:12:04.820
And you know, she was too little to discipline.

167
00:12:05.540 --> 00:12:11.100
You know, you just feel like you, but you're so happy that you just smooch him to death,

168
00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:12.740
you know.

169
00:12:12.740 --> 00:12:17.860
But just that feeling, and listen, if a child's ever been kidnapped or a child runs away

170
00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:22.860
and you don't see it, it's almost better to find out that they perished somehow than

171
00:12:22.860 --> 00:12:25.900
to look down the street and wonder where are they?

172
00:12:25.900 --> 00:12:30.460
And David's looking around, his troops are looking around, no sign, no sign of their wife

173
00:12:30.460 --> 00:12:34.180
or their family gone.

174
00:12:34.180 --> 00:12:40.780
And then the team, the soldiers turn on him and they want to kill him.

175
00:12:40.780 --> 00:12:46.980
But David strengthens himself in the Lord, which means that David took strength in the

176
00:12:46.980 --> 00:12:49.940
fact that God was present.

177
00:12:49.940 --> 00:12:56.540
We need more than ever church to stop thinking that God is far away and remember the ministry

178
00:12:56.540 --> 00:13:01.220
and the work of the Holy Spirit that God is present right now with us.

179
00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:06.100
We are absolutely experienced in His presence.

180
00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:07.580
You say, well, what on I feel something?

181
00:13:07.580 --> 00:13:10.740
Well, what are you supposed to feel?

182
00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:13.500
What would be the right feel?

183
00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:15.420
There's billions of people on earth.

184
00:13:15.420 --> 00:13:19.500
That means there would be trillions of opinions about what to feel.

185
00:13:19.500 --> 00:13:20.500
It's not feeling.

186
00:13:20.500 --> 00:13:21.500
It's faith.

187
00:13:21.500 --> 00:13:25.220
Faith, faith's better than feeling.

188
00:13:25.220 --> 00:13:30.940
Listen to this, Isaiah 41 verse 10, but regarding His presence, we need to stop and

189
00:13:30.940 --> 00:13:32.540
know that He's present.

190
00:13:32.540 --> 00:13:37.020
And Isaiah 41 verse 10, it says, fair not for I am with you.

191
00:13:37.020 --> 00:13:43.420
God says this, do not or be not dismayed.

192
00:13:43.420 --> 00:13:45.980
For I am your God, I will strengthen you.

193
00:13:45.980 --> 00:13:48.060
Yes, I will help you.

194
00:13:48.060 --> 00:13:52.860
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand, strong right hand.

195
00:13:52.860 --> 00:13:53.860
God says this is me.

196
00:13:53.860 --> 00:13:55.060
This is a beautiful thing.

197
00:13:55.060 --> 00:13:56.060
This is God speaking.

198
00:13:56.060 --> 00:14:00.620
He says, fair not because today on our age, maybe listen.

199
00:14:00.700 --> 00:14:05.740
You're being tempted right now and you're doubting.

200
00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:13.180
And the world has been hard on you and life has been hard on you and you barely wonder

201
00:14:13.180 --> 00:14:16.820
now at all, where am I in the family of God?

202
00:14:16.820 --> 00:14:24.060
Listen, you and I, we together, the entire church on earth is going through a fiery trial

203
00:14:24.060 --> 00:14:28.100
right now, unlike the world has ever seen.

204
00:14:28.660 --> 00:14:29.660
I mean, think about it.

205
00:14:29.660 --> 00:14:34.060
Predominantly, it's politically, this is another amazing prophetic thing.

206
00:14:34.060 --> 00:14:38.020
It's not that people are dropping dead in the streets.

207
00:14:38.020 --> 00:14:39.020
Think about it.

208
00:14:39.020 --> 00:14:42.500
This is not Ebola.

209
00:14:42.500 --> 00:14:49.900
This is closure and intimidation and pressure and things that have been heightened worse

210
00:14:49.900 --> 00:14:52.540
by political decisions.

211
00:14:52.540 --> 00:14:54.300
Think of it.

212
00:14:54.300 --> 00:15:00.100
We need to stop and we need to understand and remember that the Lord is present in our

213
00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:01.500
lives.

214
00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:03.740
He really is.

215
00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:08.260
And I hate to put it to you this way, but maybe this makes you feel better.

216
00:15:08.260 --> 00:15:11.900
He has to be because he said he would.

217
00:15:11.900 --> 00:15:15.420
Do you know, I don't know if he is or not, I don't know.

218
00:15:15.420 --> 00:15:16.580
Am I worthy of it?

219
00:15:16.580 --> 00:15:17.580
Does he like me?

220
00:15:17.580 --> 00:15:18.580
I don't know.

221
00:15:18.580 --> 00:15:19.580
Is he?

222
00:15:19.580 --> 00:15:20.580
You know what?

223
00:15:20.580 --> 00:15:22.740
Can you just put all that off to the side?

224
00:15:22.740 --> 00:15:24.380
Here's a theological fact.

225
00:15:24.380 --> 00:15:26.380
He has to be with you.

226
00:15:26.380 --> 00:15:27.380
Are you a Christian?

227
00:15:27.380 --> 00:15:28.380
Yes, I am.

228
00:15:28.380 --> 00:15:33.180
Well then, smile because he's with you.

229
00:15:33.180 --> 00:15:38.100
Listen, he can't leave.

230
00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:39.100
Feel logically.

231
00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:41.100
The Lord is anchored to you.

232
00:15:41.100 --> 00:15:43.780
He made you that promise and he can't go back on it.

233
00:15:43.780 --> 00:15:45.380
And by the way, he's not regretting it.

234
00:15:45.380 --> 00:15:48.780
He's not like, why did I say that to them?

235
00:15:48.780 --> 00:15:49.780
Just by it only.

236
00:15:49.780 --> 00:15:50.780
No.

237
00:15:50.780 --> 00:15:51.780
No.

238
00:15:51.780 --> 00:15:55.700
He says to us, don't be dismayed.

239
00:15:55.700 --> 00:15:58.700
Don't lose heart.

240
00:15:58.700 --> 00:15:59.700
Don't lose heart.

241
00:15:59.700 --> 00:16:02.700
Don't lose heart with your kids.

242
00:16:02.700 --> 00:16:04.180
Don't lose heart with your parents.

243
00:16:04.180 --> 00:16:06.780
Don't lose heart with your husband or your wife.

244
00:16:06.780 --> 00:16:07.780
Don't lose heart.

245
00:16:07.780 --> 00:16:09.540
You have to be so hard.

246
00:16:09.540 --> 00:16:10.540
Yes, it's hard.

247
00:16:10.540 --> 00:16:15.220
This is a time we're all going through.

248
00:16:15.220 --> 00:16:16.220
Don't give up.

249
00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:17.220
Don't quit.

250
00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:18.780
Don't quit with you.

251
00:16:18.780 --> 00:16:19.780
He said he would be.

252
00:16:19.780 --> 00:16:20.780
That's enough.

253
00:16:20.780 --> 00:16:22.500
He said it.

254
00:16:22.500 --> 00:16:23.500
That should be enough for us.

255
00:16:23.500 --> 00:16:28.900
Number two, we can stop, stop to know that he's in the impossible.

256
00:16:28.900 --> 00:16:35.500
Now I know this sounds like some funny little claimant statement and I don't mean it to be.

257
00:16:35.500 --> 00:16:37.660
It just sounds so glib.

258
00:16:37.660 --> 00:16:40.140
Stop and know that God is in the impossible.

259
00:16:40.140 --> 00:16:47.860
It sounds like a little greeting on a, you know, donut or something.

260
00:16:47.860 --> 00:16:51.860
I mean this as a hard, cold fact.

261
00:16:51.860 --> 00:16:52.860
We wouldn't listen.

262
00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:59.660
The reason why you and I know about the word impossible is because the fact that what God

263
00:16:59.660 --> 00:17:06.540
does shatters the impossible, it's like the word doubt or faith, love or hate.

264
00:17:06.540 --> 00:17:08.300
How do you know?

265
00:17:08.300 --> 00:17:10.460
How do you know one from the other?

266
00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:12.700
Because you know one from the other.

267
00:17:12.700 --> 00:17:14.860
Both exist.

268
00:17:14.860 --> 00:17:20.820
When we say that's impossible, oh, then if that's impossible, then listen.

269
00:17:20.820 --> 00:17:23.140
Other things are then possible.

270
00:17:23.140 --> 00:17:31.540
And if that's impossible, then actually what is possible, trumps what's impossible.

271
00:17:31.540 --> 00:17:33.860
You say, well, that's not scientific.

272
00:17:33.860 --> 00:17:41.020
It may not be scientific, but the God who created science can override his own laws of science

273
00:17:41.020 --> 00:17:44.700
and take what is impossible and make possible.

274
00:17:44.700 --> 00:17:46.580
That's what a miracle is, by the way, people.

275
00:17:46.580 --> 00:17:51.340
A miracle is a violation of the rules or laws of science.

276
00:17:51.340 --> 00:17:52.660
It's a violation.

277
00:17:52.660 --> 00:17:55.100
Who gets to violate the rules of science?

278
00:17:55.100 --> 00:17:59.060
The one who made it.

279
00:17:59.060 --> 00:18:02.580
What can suspend, right now if he wants, gravity.

280
00:18:02.580 --> 00:18:07.660
That would be kind of fun to watch for a moment.

281
00:18:07.660 --> 00:18:12.340
He's the one that can suspend the physics of death.

282
00:18:12.340 --> 00:18:17.700
Didn't he do it when he walked on earth?

283
00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:18.700
I love the fact.

284
00:18:18.700 --> 00:18:22.300
Every funeral Jesus went to, he ruined it.

285
00:18:22.300 --> 00:18:23.620
He raised the dead.

286
00:18:23.620 --> 00:18:29.020
All that money they spent, they hired all those mourners and flowers and caters and

287
00:18:29.340 --> 00:18:33.340
Jesus comes in and says, arise.

288
00:18:33.340 --> 00:18:36.220
It's amazing.

289
00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:41.780
But we need to remember the fact that God moves in the impossible of things of life.

290
00:18:41.780 --> 00:18:44.460
How do you listen to your career, Christian, tonight?

291
00:18:44.460 --> 00:18:48.420
I'm telling you right now that the stuff that's impossible in our lives, think about it.

292
00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:51.580
You may be the one that's impossible in your life.

293
00:18:51.580 --> 00:18:54.180
I think that's true about me, by the way.

294
00:18:54.180 --> 00:18:56.700
You know, we're all in this thing.

295
00:18:56.700 --> 00:19:01.460
You see, I'm just, I was going to say something, but it's on stickers and football helmets.

296
00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:02.380
But it's true.

297
00:19:02.380 --> 00:19:06.700
We as believers, we are in this together.

298
00:19:06.700 --> 00:19:07.700
We are in this together.

299
00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:09.420
Here's the thing.

300
00:19:09.420 --> 00:19:14.980
What God says to one of us, He says to all because not a respect or a person, it's amazing.

301
00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:19.460
When God makes you a promise, all of us get to pile on.

302
00:19:19.460 --> 00:19:21.620
Wait, what's that verse you just said?

303
00:19:21.620 --> 00:19:29.540
Also, the Lord said that He will be with me, and if the rivers overflow and if the fire

304
00:19:29.540 --> 00:19:33.980
is rage and if the mountains be, He's going to be with me.

305
00:19:33.980 --> 00:19:37.060
When you grab a promise and it's a great promise for your life, the beautiful thing about

306
00:19:37.060 --> 00:19:40.580
being the family of God is the fact that, hey, you know what I need that to?

307
00:19:40.580 --> 00:19:41.580
What verse was that?

308
00:19:41.580 --> 00:19:43.300
Give me that verse.

309
00:19:43.300 --> 00:19:44.700
And I love that.

310
00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:45.700
Why?

311
00:19:45.700 --> 00:19:47.180
Because we know something about our God.

312
00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:53.660
And that is He can shatter things that bind us and He works in the impossible.

313
00:19:53.660 --> 00:19:54.660
He does things.

314
00:19:54.660 --> 00:19:55.660
Do you see what is it?

315
00:19:55.660 --> 00:19:57.060
But what about this situation?

316
00:19:57.060 --> 00:19:58.060
Why does it need over?

317
00:19:58.060 --> 00:20:00.060
I don't know why.

318
00:20:00.060 --> 00:20:01.060
There's things.

319
00:20:01.060 --> 00:20:05.900
I don't know why He does the things that He does, but He does say to us in the book of Romans

320
00:20:05.900 --> 00:20:11.100
that when it's all done, it's going to be really good for us.

321
00:20:11.100 --> 00:20:14.300
So how can that be?

322
00:20:14.300 --> 00:20:18.780
This person died or I lost my job or and I love the Lord and all this is going on.

323
00:20:18.780 --> 00:20:22.260
Listen, I just, I only know this answer.

324
00:20:22.260 --> 00:20:30.260
When He's done doing what He's doing, it's going to be really good for you.
