32 00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:14.840 I'm heading in the direction of absolute liberty and freedom. 33 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.080 The challenges will you recognize it when you say it. 34 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:24.960 God's grace is not to overlook our sins when we sin them, when we commit them, as though 35 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.560 they're nothing. 36 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:32.240 God's grace is given to us whereby we get control and dominance over those sins. 37 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.000 It doesn't mean we become sinless, but I like to put it this way. 38 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:44.040 It happens that as we walk with God, we become one who sins less, but you'll never be 39 00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:49.560 sinless, not until you drop dead, and then the reason why you're sinless at that point 40 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:51.720 is because you've been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, right? 41 00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:52.720 Amen. 42 00:02:52.720 --> 00:02:53.720 The cross to Christ. 43 00:02:53.720 --> 00:02:58.160 The only thing that's messing with us right now is our bodies, think about that. 44 00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:02.920 Every Christian that's in the house, you desire to live a life that fully pleases God. 45 00:03:02.920 --> 00:03:08.920 The problem is this carcass gets in the way, right? 46 00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:15.920 The first Chronicles, chapter 4, verse 9, the Bible says there was a man named Jbez, 47 00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:21.840 I love this guy, who was more honorable than any of his brothers, and his mother named 48 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:26.800 him Jbez because his birth had been so painful. 49 00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:31.880 He was the son who prayed to the God of Israel, and this is his prayer. 50 00:03:31.880 --> 00:03:34.520 I'm going to encourage all of you to pray this prayer. 51 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:39.680 I pray this prayer, oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory. 52 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.920 That we're territory in Hebrew means coastline area, presence, influence. 53 00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:47.280 There's a lot of words today about, are you an influencer? 54 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:48.880 Do you want to be an influencer? 55 00:03:48.880 --> 00:03:50.880 Take our influencer's course. 56 00:03:50.880 --> 00:03:52.520 You want to be an influencer? 57 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.240 Follow God with all your heart. 58 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.720 Jbez found that out 3,000 years ago. 59 00:03:56.720 --> 00:03:59.240 Hey, you know what, God? 60 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:00.240 Here's the deal. 61 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.680 My name means pain. 62 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:14.400 My mom named me painter, one who causes pain, but all that you would bless me and expand 63 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:20.980 my territory, please be with me and all that I do, and keep, here it is, keep me from 64 00:04:20.980 --> 00:04:23.320 all trouble and pain. 65 00:04:23.320 --> 00:04:27.360 That's a prayer in the Bible, and the Bible says, and God granted him his request. 66 00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.720 Now, listen, there's going to be troubles in life. 67 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:34.160 This is not a prayer like quick, quick, pull the Jbez prayer so we don't have to go through 68 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:35.160 anything. 69 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.760 That's not what we're talking about. 70 00:04:37.760 --> 00:04:42.920 We're talking about going through the troubles of life and God's favor being upon you that 71 00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:47.080 you go through them and you're a great witness for the kingdom of God. 72 00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:53.720 The things that God has presided over in your life, God can turn around and use. 73 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:59.600 This morning I was asked on a live news program TV out in New York on Newsmax. 74 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.240 They asked me, why do bad things happen to good people? 75 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.680 Why do bad things happen at all? 76 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.160 And I gave them the gospel answer. 77 00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:12.120 Jesus said, I've come to give you an abundant life that you might live and that you might 78 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.240 enjoy life, but the enemy has come to rob you, kill you and destroy you. 79 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.040 So we need to put blame where blame is due, and that's on Satan. 80 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:23.280 God wants you to be one who experiences this blessing, but we live in a fallen world. 81 00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:27.600 So then the midst of all trouble, we can look to God. 82 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:33.560 I'm so happy that this earth is not our heaven, this earth is not our home. 83 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.560 We're going home someday, but this is not it. 84 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:38.080 Hallelujah for that. 85 00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:41.720 But as we look at this, mark it down if you would, church, it's so important is that his 86 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:44.480 grace enslaves us to his freedom. 87 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:45.480 I wrote that right. 88 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.040 That's exactly what I want to say. 89 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:53.160 His grace enslaves us to his freedom. 90 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:57.760 Right now you are enslaved, every single one of us are enslaved right now to something 91 00:05:57.760 --> 00:06:00.080 or someone. 92 00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:04.520 People will say, oh, you Christians, you know, you got your little Bible, and you know Jesus, 93 00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:05.920 you're crutch. 94 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:12.880 I'm insulting people say that because that is a terrible thing to call Jesus as a crutch. 95 00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:21.000 Jesus is a wheelchair, he is an ER, he is the hospital, he's the rehab center, Jesus 96 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:22.000 is everything. 97 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:28.880 Listen, Jim Beam or Snorting Coke might be a crutch. 98 00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:31.160 Jesus is no crutch, are you kidding? 99 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:35.680 No, throw your life upon him, get into the hospital of God and watch what he does. 100 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:40.400 He doesn't just heal people up, he absolutely transforms them, it's incredible. 101 00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:46.600 And so what I'm talking about is you and I being slaved to his freedom to be bound 102 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:47.600 to him. 103 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:54.240 Look at verse 15, it says, what then shall we sin because we are not under law? 104 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.240 This is a beautiful sarcasm of the Apostle. 105 00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:58.240 So what? 106 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.480 Because we're not under the law, we just sin it up. 107 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:06.080 Are we to be those practicing this anti-nomenism and action? 108 00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:08.280 He says certainly not. 109 00:07:08.280 --> 00:07:11.920 The word means perish the thought, strike it from your mind. 110 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:13.960 That's a horrible thing to be saying. 111 00:07:13.960 --> 00:07:20.800 So he goes after the one who is being an opponent to the grace of God. 112 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.880 He would be saying absolutely, positively, no way. 113 00:07:24.880 --> 00:07:27.880 He's saying to the Christian, how can you possibly think like that? 114 00:07:27.880 --> 00:07:32.760 If you guys listen, if the Holy Spirit is in you, you can't think like that. 115 00:07:32.760 --> 00:07:36.760 So you remember this Christian thing, it's pretty cool, you mean I can become a Christian 116 00:07:36.760 --> 00:07:39.280 and then sin up a storm and that's God to forgive me? 117 00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:42.480 The Holy Spirit would never let you think that way. 118 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.480 You know what I love about what we're talking about? 119 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:50.960 This shatters the habitual practice of religious activity. 120 00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:54.560 And God just makes the deep dive right into your soul and says, here's what we're going 121 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:55.560 to do. 122 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.480 We're not going to do anything right now with the externals because I'm the God of eternal 123 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:00.480 life. 124 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:04.320 I'm diving deep into your soul and you're not going to fix yourself from the outside 125 00:08:04.320 --> 00:08:05.320 in. 126 00:08:05.320 --> 00:08:06.320 You're not going to go to a course for this. 127 00:08:06.320 --> 00:08:08.880 There's no app for that. 128 00:08:08.880 --> 00:08:11.760 I'm moving inside of you. 129 00:08:11.760 --> 00:08:16.240 The Holy Spirit at the moment of you believing in what the Son of God did at the cross and 130 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.000 I'm going to transform you by my power from the inside out. 131 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.240 That's why Christians can't get figured out by people. 132 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:25.240 They don't understand it. 133 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:29.920 They just see a life being transformed and listen, the great thing is it's not so much overnight. 134 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.400 I mean, there's some stuff that God, you remember when we accepted the Lord, there's some 135 00:08:33.400 --> 00:08:37.760 stuff that had to stop that night, right? 136 00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:39.200 And he stopped them. 137 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.680 And then there's other things throughout your life that he's been working on. 138 00:08:43.680 --> 00:08:45.200 That's what he does. 139 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:52.000 But I'm talking about him, transforming us, transformation, transformation in my opinion 140 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:57.640 is the missing link today in so-called Christianity that we see. 141 00:08:57.640 --> 00:09:03.080 We see some sort of a weak powerless Christian experience, a weak powerless Christianity. 142 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.720 I grew up under a pastor who was just so rock solid, pastor Chuck Smith. 143 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:13.040 He would say, I don't care how much, how high you can jump in the air and shout as a Christian. 144 00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:17.040 I care about how straight you walk after you land. 145 00:09:17.040 --> 00:09:19.080 And that's called holiness, by the way. 146 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:20.720 Young people today, listen, holiness. 147 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:27.960 I was so blessed yesterday, I got stopped in a mall by two teenagers. 148 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:32.320 I mean, I'm absolutely old enough to be their grandpa. 149 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:34.560 And I really felt good about myself after that. 150 00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:39.000 I'm not, I feel good about the Lord using a ding dong like me. 151 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.880 These two kids came up to me and they just said, we'll listen to your podcast all the time. 152 00:09:43.880 --> 00:09:46.480 And I'm thinking, am I me? 153 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:47.480 Really? 154 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:52.360 Well, then the Lord tapped me on the shoulder and said, it's not you, Knuck, go ahead. 155 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:53.360 It's my word. 156 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.520 Let's keep things in perspective, Jack. 157 00:09:56.520 --> 00:09:57.520 Okay. 158 00:09:57.520 --> 00:09:58.520 This is Jack. 159 00:09:58.520 --> 00:09:59.520 This is God. 160 00:09:59.520 --> 00:10:08.000 But how does an old man touch young people to walk with God, the Holy Spirit? 161 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:13.040 And he does it on the inside outwardly, not outwardly on the inside. 162 00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:15.320 And we become enslaved to his freedom. 163 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.120 He sets us free. 164 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:22.520 Verse 16 says, do you not know that to whom you present yourselves, speaking of your body, 165 00:10:22.520 --> 00:10:27.560 slaves to obey, you are that one's slave whom you obey?

170 00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:48.240 Even when a little baby is suffering, that little baby committed no sins. 171 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:54.880 Why is the baby suffering because Adam and Eve sinned, right? 172 00:10:54.880 --> 00:11:00.040 That is in our spiritual DNA and it's tragic. 173 00:11:00.040 --> 00:11:01.840 But I might add to you, it's only for a season. 174 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:02.840 I know it hurts bad. 175 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:10.560 I know it hurts terrible when you kiss your daughter or son in that hospital room, not knowing 176 00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:14.920 if they'll be alive tomorrow morning or as you sit there in the night. 177 00:11:14.920 --> 00:11:19.560 I remember our daughter at eight months, they told us she's got less than a 50% chance 178 00:11:19.560 --> 00:11:24.560 to live and they quarantined her at St. Jude's for eight days and we just sat there. 179 00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:30.480 We took shifts and there come some point and some moment where you go from please God, 180 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.680 please God, please God, you know what I'm talking about? 181 00:11:32.680 --> 00:11:38.340 To where I think God accomplishes what He wants to accomplish and that is Lord, wait a 182 00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:39.420 minute. 183 00:11:39.420 --> 00:11:44.520 You made her, you gave her to us, she's yours. 184 00:11:44.520 --> 00:11:49.880 And the moment when that happens, there is an enslavement to his freedom that is beyond 185 00:11:49.880 --> 00:11:52.560 human words and description. 186 00:11:52.560 --> 00:11:53.760 I can't write a book about it. 187 00:11:53.760 --> 00:11:55.200 I can't preach about it. 188 00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:58.640 It's got to be experienced. 189 00:11:58.640 --> 00:12:03.880 And I believe that every true child of God will go through that crisis moment of faith 190 00:12:03.880 --> 00:12:10.120 where you release God's got it from here, transformation. 191 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.280 The second thing is that there's obedience that leads to righteousness. 192 00:12:13.280 --> 00:12:16.240 We get all scared about the word righteousness. 193 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.880 It's unfortunate our day and age because we need it the most. 194 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.760 None of us want to be labeled self-righteous. 195 00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:29.400 So we so push away from the word righteous and we make it so fantastic that we won't 196 00:12:29.400 --> 00:12:30.920 even study it. 197 00:12:30.920 --> 00:12:36.280 The word righteous or righteousness means that we live in act like Jesus. 198 00:12:36.280 --> 00:12:40.120 It simply means to do the right thing. 199 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:43.000 Do you not know what the right thing is to do? 200 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:44.320 Think about it. 201 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:50.800 Right now there's huge talk and battling taking place over. 202 00:12:50.800 --> 00:12:56.640 Is it right or wrong to terminate a pregnancy? 203 00:12:56.640 --> 00:13:02.520 Now you might say, well I believe it's a woman's right to choose. 204 00:13:02.520 --> 00:13:05.560 I don't think that's the question. 205 00:13:05.560 --> 00:13:13.360 That question lends itself under the parameters of timing. 206 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:19.560 Now seeing how I've been put in Instagram time out in prison, so a master will just go 207 00:13:19.560 --> 00:13:23.480 for the whole rest of the thing. 208 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:27.920 If you were not a believer in God at all, let's just take the Bible off the table, forget 209 00:13:27.920 --> 00:13:29.720 about it. 210 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:31.640 Let's just talk about pure biology. 211 00:13:31.640 --> 00:13:34.120 You can't ditch that because you're a human right now. 212 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.120 Can you hear me? 213 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.200 It's because you're a human. 214 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:47.280 This pure chemistry, pure biology announces to us that when a male and a female, when this 215 00:13:47.280 --> 00:13:59.240 body part explores this body part, biology happens and the living sperm crashes with a living 216 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:05.520 egg and someone's alive. 217 00:14:05.520 --> 00:14:13.040 Like Frank, it's alive and it is alive, but it's so small. 218 00:14:13.040 --> 00:14:19.160 So since when the smallest have anything to do with its value, look, if you take that kind 219 00:14:19.160 --> 00:14:23.560 of approach, Shaquille O'Neill can look at everyone of us and say, you know what, you're 220 00:14:23.560 --> 00:14:28.920 not valuable to me, you're too little, you're only six feet. 221 00:14:28.920 --> 00:14:30.680 You know what I'm saying? 222 00:14:30.680 --> 00:14:34.040 God says I made you in the womb when nobody could see. 223 00:14:34.040 --> 00:14:36.160 I made you. 224 00:14:36.160 --> 00:14:42.360 So right now there's a big battle and here's the deal, listen, people choose to have sex. 225 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:43.360 They know full well. 226 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.720 If I have sex right now, I could get pregnant. 227 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:49.480 That's the choice. 228 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:50.720 The choice was made. 229 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.240 I am for choice. 230 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.320 Listen, God's pro-choice, He says choose life and live. 231 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.280 I'm for choice, but listen, there's a ramification and there's parameters, oh listen, some people 232 00:15:01.280 --> 00:15:02.280 are not going to like this. 233 00:15:02.280 --> 00:15:07.640 There's a parameter based on science that decisions are made and listen, once you press the 234 00:15:07.640 --> 00:15:09.960 button and the rocket goes up, guess what? 235 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:11.760 It's going up. 236 00:15:11.760 --> 00:15:13.720 You're going to Mars. 237 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:20.280 Can you imagine being on a moon launch and saying, you know, I think I want out. 238 00:15:20.280 --> 00:15:22.960 They're not going to let you out. 239 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:24.520 The decision has been made. 240 00:15:24.520 --> 00:15:26.560 Once the decision is made, what do you want to do? 241 00:15:26.560 --> 00:15:28.440 I want to go back on my decision. 242 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:34.000 I don't want to be hindered or encumbered by this problem and so now I want to kill this 243 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.000 child. 244 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.120 Listen, that's why God invented adoption. 245 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.400 Let the baby live, but don't kill. 246 00:15:41.400 --> 00:15:45.160 Thou shalt not murder says the Bible. 247 00:15:45.160 --> 00:15:46.800 He said, well, that's what the Bible says. 248 00:15:46.800 --> 00:15:52.160 Listen, show me in science where science exterminates what it stands for. 249 00:15:52.160 --> 00:15:53.440 It doesn't happen. 250 00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.520 And so when we do the wrong thing, it leads to death. 251 00:15:56.520 --> 00:16:01.760 When we do the right thing, it leads to righteousness, simply doing the right thing. 252 00:16:01.760 --> 00:16:04.720 And God does that by transforming us. 253 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:13.040 There's a lot of things going on today and I was thinking, so I hope I say this right. 254 00:16:13.040 --> 00:16:19.560 Leah Nardo Domenci said, one can have no smaller or greater mastery than the mastery of oneself. 255 00:16:19.560 --> 00:16:20.560 That's a great statement. 256 00:16:20.560 --> 00:16:25.160 It looks awesome on a plaque, but you know it's impossible. 257 00:16:25.160 --> 00:16:27.480 We have no power to control ourselves. 258 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:34.200 That's why there's new years of resolutions. 259 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:38.240 The Bible says you have to be transformed. 260 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:39.240 But you know what? 261 00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:45.520 When you reject God, when you're a culture that rejects God, you don't say transformed. 262 00:16:45.520 --> 00:16:51.920 You say, we need to be trans humans, right? 263 00:16:51.920 --> 00:16:59.360 This movement that scientists are telling us that we may reach at about 2035, 2040, where 264 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:07.560 we will be trans humans, where we will be human, but we will have our phones and our 265 00:17:07.560 --> 00:17:11.800 the cloud will be actually implanted in our skin. 266 00:17:11.800 --> 00:17:15.680 We will be wired and we will have accelerated thoughts. 267 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.760 So you can't stop and ask the question, why do you want to be trans human? 268 00:17:18.760 --> 00:17:22.400 Because we'll have the internet in our brain in a second. 269 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:23.560 Wow. 270 00:17:23.560 --> 00:17:26.040 Is that good? 271 00:17:26.040 --> 00:17:29.320 Let's say they succeed in that. 272 00:17:29.320 --> 00:17:33.120 It's still not going to transform your soul, right? 273 00:17:33.120 --> 00:17:37.360 And because people have rejected God and are not enjoying what it is to live for why 274 00:17:37.360 --> 00:17:43.120 you were created, people want to be transgendered. 275 00:17:43.120 --> 00:17:46.040 And my heart breaks. 276 00:17:46.040 --> 00:17:50.000 Because when you study why these people are going through, there's a lot of baggage that 277 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:52.280 leads them to this conclusion. 278 00:17:52.280 --> 00:17:56.400 But if you stop and ask them, why are you thinking about this? 279 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:02.560 The strip away all of the smoke screens, the bottom line is, I'm not happy with myself. 280 00:18:02.560 --> 00:18:03.560 That's the answer. 281 00:18:03.560 --> 00:18:06.320 I want to be somebody else. 282 00:18:06.320 --> 00:18:08.920 You want to know why you want to be somebody else. 283 00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.640 It's because you haven't found the person who you're supposed to be. 284 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:14.920 God made you to be someone and you've not found him yet. 285 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:16.240 I don't talk to me about religion. 286 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:21.560 I'm not talking to you about religion. 287 00:18:21.560 --> 00:18:27.080 Look, my truck is idling rough. 288 00:18:27.080 --> 00:18:28.280 It needs to go into the shop. 289 00:18:28.280 --> 00:18:32.960 The computer says on the screen, Jack, how long are you going to wait before you take 290 00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:33.960 it in? 291 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:38.400 You've got to take it in, you've got to take it in. 292 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:40.160 And they'll take it in and they're going to plug it in. 293 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:46.160 And listen, I'm not going to take that to a lawnmower shop, right? 294 00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.280 You take it to where it came from. 295 00:18:48.280 --> 00:18:49.280 Why? 296 00:18:49.280 --> 00:18:55.360 Because the creator of it knows what to do with it. 297 00:18:55.360 --> 00:18:56.720 You've been created by God. 298 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:01.720 The Bible says what you claim not to believe in that you were made in the image of God. 299 00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:05.760 So I'm just asking you, why don't you take yourself back to your creator and watch him 300 00:19:05.760 --> 00:19:07.080 transform you? 301 00:19:07.080 --> 00:19:09.880 Because the way that you're going about it ain't going to work. 302 00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:12.360 You're still going to be hurt inside. 303 00:19:12.360 --> 00:19:15.760 You're still going to have hopelessness, not even getting worse. 304 00:19:15.760 --> 00:19:17.560 Because you're going to think that's going to change you. 305 00:19:17.560 --> 00:19:21.320 But then when you wake up to the realization, it didn't change you. 306 00:19:21.320 --> 00:19:22.600 Now what are you going to do? 307 00:19:22.600 --> 00:19:24.280 You're going to do what we're seeing on the news now. 308 00:19:24.280 --> 00:19:28.360 I want to change back. 309 00:19:28.360 --> 00:19:29.360 And you keep listening. 310 00:19:29.360 --> 00:19:31.680 You need a heart change on the inside. 311 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:35.520 And you might be here today and you're the big man in the corner office smoking your cigar 312 00:19:35.520 --> 00:19:36.960 and counting your money. 313 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.600 And you're saying, yeah, you tell it, pastor, wait a minute, what about you?
