Coming up
on Life Today!
00:00:08.341 --> 00:00:10.610 align:start line:10% position:28% size:43%
James reflects to
a classic sermon
00:00:10.677 --> 00:00:12.679 align:center line:10% position:50% size:50%
on the impact
believers could have
00:00:12.746 --> 00:00:15.548 align:center line:10% position:50% size:63%
on the world when
we come together in love.
00:00:15.615 --> 00:00:17.617 align:start line:63% position:25% size:50%
JAMES: I'm not going
to compromise.
00:00:17.684 --> 00:00:19.686 align:center line:63% position:50% size:75%
Well, I believe it's
the greatest compromise of all
00:00:19.753 --> 00:00:21.721 align:center line:63% position:50% size:43%
to refuse to love
one another.
00:00:21.788 --> 00:00:23.757 align:start line:63% position:13% size:75%
As a matter of fact,
if you don't love one another,
00:00:23.823 --> 00:00:26.226 align:center line:63% position:50% size:45%
God says you don't
even know him.
00:00:26.292 --> 00:00:28.595 align:start line:63% position:28% size:45%
I didn't say that,
God said it.
00:00:28.661 --> 00:00:30.830 align:center line:10% position:50% size:65%
You can't hear God
if you won't walk in love.
00:00:30.897 --> 00:00:32.899 align:start line:10% position:28% size:43%
How are you going
to know the truth
00:00:32.966 --> 00:00:35.702 align:center line:10% position:50% size:50%
if you're committed
to walk in darkness?

JAMES: I'm James Robison.
00:00:55.255 --> 00:00:56.389 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
My wife, Betty, and I
00:00:56.456 --> 00:00:58.258 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
welcome you to Life Today.
00:00:58.324 --> 00:00:59.492 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
I'm going to show you
00:00:59.559 --> 00:01:01.494 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
a message that was preached,
00:01:01.561 --> 00:01:04.564 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
literally, 40 years ago that
00:01:04.631 --> 00:01:07.367 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
shook the walls of the church
00:01:07.434 --> 00:01:08.501 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in a way they needed
00:01:08.568 --> 00:01:09.803 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
to be shaken.
00:01:09.869 --> 00:01:11.070 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
Broke down
00:01:11.137 --> 00:01:13.206 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
denominational divides.
00:01:13.273 --> 00:01:14.441 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It's where the members
00:01:14.507 --> 00:01:16.042 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of the family realized
00:01:16.109 --> 00:01:18.211 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
we need to come together.
00:01:18.278 --> 00:01:19.712 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
We're destroying one another.
00:01:19.779 --> 00:01:20.847 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
We're destroying
00:01:20.914 --> 00:01:22.515 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
fellowship relationship.
00:01:22.582 --> 00:01:24.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We're disobeying God.
00:01:24.951 --> 00:01:26.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
We're refusing supernatural
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:28.721 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
spiritual unity.
00:01:28.788 --> 00:01:29.923 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
I preached this
00:01:29.989 --> 00:01:31.858 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
to the Full Gospel businessmen
00:01:31.925 --> 00:01:33.893 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
in the Los Angeles,
00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:36.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
California area.
00:01:36.496 --> 00:01:37.831 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And I was told, Betty,
00:01:37.897 --> 00:01:39.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that 7,000 men came forward
00:01:40.033 --> 00:01:41.501 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
immediately.
00:01:41.568 --> 00:01:42.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And that was a great part
00:01:43.036 --> 00:01:45.972 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
of the crowd of over 10,000.
00:01:46.039 --> 00:01:48.141 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
But it was world-shaking.
00:01:48.208 --> 00:01:49.342 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
As a matter of fact, I was
00:01:49.409 --> 00:01:51.611 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
so moved as I listened to it,
00:01:51.678 --> 00:01:53.313 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
I had to dedicate my life anew
00:01:53.379 --> 00:01:55.815 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and afresh to all that I had
00:01:55.882 --> 00:01:58.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
learned that I was sharing.
00:01:58.451 --> 00:02:01.020 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I'm telling you, my friends,
00:02:01.087 --> 00:02:02.388 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
we have the opportunity
00:02:02.455 --> 00:02:04.023 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to have the greatest
00:02:04.090 --> 00:02:05.859 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
supernatural spiritual
00:02:05.925 --> 00:02:09.028 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
awakening in history.
00:02:09.095 --> 00:02:11.598 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I want you to listen closely,
00:02:11.664 --> 00:02:13.466 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
prayerfully.
00:02:13.533 --> 00:02:15.568 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And then it'll be continued
00:02:15.635 --> 00:02:18.538 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
in the program tomorrow.
00:02:18.605 --> 00:02:19.672 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I want you to get everyone
00:02:19.739 --> 00:02:23.743 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
you know to watch it.
00:02:23.810 --> 00:02:25.078 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
It'll be posted
00:02:25.144 --> 00:02:26.379 align:start line:63% position:10% size:38%
in many places.
00:02:26.446 --> 00:02:27.780 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
It won't be hard for you
00:02:27.847 --> 00:02:29.315 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
to find a copy
00:02:29.382 --> 00:02:31.518 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and watch it again.
00:02:31.584 --> 00:02:32.785 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
We go right now to
00:02:32.852 --> 00:02:36.122 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the coliseum in, I believe
00:02:36.189 --> 00:02:40.827 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
it was Anaheim, California and
00:02:40.894 --> 00:02:43.096 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the Full Gospel Businessmen's
00:02:43.162 --> 00:02:45.598 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
World Convention.
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:47.934 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
God is about to shake down
00:02:48.001 --> 00:02:49.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
everything that can
00:02:49.168 --> 00:02:50.904 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
be shaken, folks.
00:02:50.970 --> 00:02:52.205 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I want to tell you,
00:02:52.272 --> 00:02:53.273 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
if you're standing on
00:02:53.339 --> 00:02:54.440 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
a worldly system of religion,
00:02:54.507 --> 00:02:55.508 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
if you're standing on
00:02:55.575 --> 00:02:56.576 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
worldly tradition,
00:02:56.643 --> 00:02:57.644 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
it's coming down.
00:02:57.710 --> 00:02:58.811 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
If you're standing on it,
00:02:58.878 --> 00:02:59.946 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
you better get off it.
00:03:00.013 --> 00:03:01.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
It's coming down.
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:02.148 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
If you're standing near it,
00:03:02.215 --> 00:03:03.216 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
get away from it.
00:03:03.283 --> 00:03:04.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
It's falling down.
00:03:04.417 --> 00:03:05.518 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
The only thing that's going
00:03:05.585 --> 00:03:07.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
to stand is the Word of God.
00:03:07.387 --> 00:03:09.556 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Clench your feet on the Word
00:03:09.622 --> 00:03:11.291 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
of God and stand there.
00:03:11.357 --> 00:03:15.995 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
See what God says.
00:03:16.062 --> 00:03:19.399 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It's going to take time.
00:03:19.465 --> 00:03:20.633 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Many of the people
00:03:20.700 --> 00:03:21.901 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
that I have known
00:03:21.968 --> 00:03:23.369 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
now in the past months
00:03:23.436 --> 00:03:24.404 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
who've been healed
00:03:24.470 --> 00:03:26.639 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
by going to this word.
00:03:26.706 --> 00:03:27.774 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Many of you for years have
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.309 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
camped in the fifth chapter
00:03:29.375 --> 00:03:31.744 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
of James, "Call for the elders
00:03:31.811 --> 00:03:32.912 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
of the church, anoint them
00:03:32.979 --> 00:03:33.913 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
with oil, and pray.
00:03:33.980 --> 00:03:35.014 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
The prayer of faith
00:03:35.081 --> 00:03:36.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
will restore the sick."
00:03:36.149 --> 00:03:37.083 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But you forgot the first
00:03:37.150 --> 00:03:38.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
four chapters of James.
00:03:39.052 --> 00:03:40.019 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
The first one says,
00:03:40.086 --> 00:03:41.120 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
"Let no double-minded man
00:03:41.187 --> 00:03:42.388 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
think he receives anything
00:03:42.455 --> 00:03:43.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
from the Lord."
00:03:43.556 --> 00:03:44.757 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So stay out of chapter five
00:03:44.824 --> 00:03:46.192 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
until you get
00:03:46.259 --> 00:03:48.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
chapter one down.
00:03:48.628 --> 00:03:50.263 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Many of you forgot
00:03:50.330 --> 00:03:52.098 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
chapter four:
00:03:52.165 --> 00:03:53.433 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
"If you make friendship with
00:03:53.499 --> 00:03:54.901 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the world, that's enmity,
00:03:54.968 --> 00:03:56.636 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
hostility with God.
00:03:56.703 --> 00:03:57.770 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
You don't receive
00:03:57.837 --> 00:03:59.072 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
anything from God.
00:03:59.138 --> 00:04:04.010 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
God will not answer you."
00:04:04.077 --> 00:04:05.244 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
Find yourself
00:04:05.311 --> 00:04:06.879 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
in the presence of God.
00:04:06.946 --> 00:04:09.182 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
Come with brokenness
00:04:09.248 --> 00:04:11.851 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and watch God work.
00:04:11.918 --> 00:04:13.052 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I went with my wife
00:04:13.119 --> 00:04:14.754 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
a few weeks ago, and this is
00:04:14.821 --> 00:04:15.822 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
-- I'm going to share with you
00:04:15.888 --> 00:04:16.990 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
several things the Lord
00:04:17.056 --> 00:04:18.558 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
told me to share.
00:04:18.625 --> 00:04:19.792 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And then the Lord is just
00:04:19.859 --> 00:04:21.027 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
going to carry us along
00:04:21.094 --> 00:04:22.362 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and we'll minister as
00:04:22.428 --> 00:04:23.730 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the Holy Spirit directs
00:04:23.796 --> 00:04:25.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
prayerfully.
00:04:25.365 --> 00:04:26.566 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I was with my wife
00:04:26.633 --> 00:04:27.700 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
for a couple of days.
00:04:27.767 --> 00:04:28.935 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
Well, really a day,
00:04:29.002 --> 00:04:30.036 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a 24-hour period.
00:04:30.103 --> 00:04:31.237 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We drove about two hours,
00:04:31.304 --> 00:04:32.305 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
have a little place
00:04:32.372 --> 00:04:33.406 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
we can get away to pray
00:04:33.473 --> 00:04:34.707 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and just be alone.
00:04:34.774 --> 00:04:35.875 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We were going to eat
00:04:35.942 --> 00:04:37.176 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
that night, and I was going
00:04:37.243 --> 00:04:38.277 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
to charcoal a steak for me
00:04:38.344 --> 00:04:39.579 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and Betty, and we had
00:04:39.646 --> 00:04:40.747 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
a little charcoaler.
00:04:40.813 --> 00:04:41.781 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
I don't know how many of you
00:04:41.848 --> 00:04:42.982 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
have ever done this, but
00:04:43.049 --> 00:04:44.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I'll tell you what I would do
00:04:44.183 --> 00:04:45.251 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
if I were pastor of a church
00:04:45.318 --> 00:04:46.386 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
and you're not, you shouldn't
00:04:46.452 --> 00:04:47.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
make your people do anything
00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:48.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
but I would encourage
00:04:48.621 --> 00:04:49.756 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
my people to do two things.
00:04:49.822 --> 00:04:50.890 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I would encourage my people
00:04:50.957 --> 00:04:51.924 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
to build a charcoal fire
00:04:51.991 --> 00:04:53.226 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
until they were successful.
00:04:53.292 --> 00:04:54.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Not with self-lighting
00:04:54.394 --> 00:04:55.428 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
charcoal, the kind
00:04:55.495 --> 00:04:56.629 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
you have to soak in light.
00:04:56.696 --> 00:04:57.830 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
And I would encourage
00:04:57.897 --> 00:04:58.998 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
every single member
00:04:59.065 --> 00:05:00.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of my church, from child,
00:05:00.266 --> 00:05:01.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
from junior age up,
00:05:01.868 --> 00:05:03.102 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and possibly even younger
00:05:03.169 --> 00:05:04.170 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
than that, I would encourage
00:05:04.237 --> 00:05:05.238 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
every member of my church
00:05:05.304 --> 00:05:07.607 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
to grow some kind of a garden,
00:05:07.674 --> 00:05:08.841 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
either a flower garden
00:05:08.908 --> 00:05:09.942 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
or a vegetable garden,
00:05:10.009 --> 00:05:11.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
or some kind of garden.
00:05:11.544 --> 00:05:12.879 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Because it is only then
00:05:12.945 --> 00:05:14.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that you begin to understand
00:05:14.213 --> 00:05:15.314 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
what it means to be fruitful
00:05:15.381 --> 00:05:17.083 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
and to multiply.
00:05:17.150 --> 00:05:18.217 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I'm going to tell you
00:05:18.284 --> 00:05:19.419 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
something about a garden.
00:05:19.485 --> 00:05:20.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I don't care if it's a flower
00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:21.587 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
garden, or a vegetable garden,
00:05:21.654 --> 00:05:22.789 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
or a field of hay
00:05:22.855 --> 00:05:24.791 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
or grain of wheat or corn,
00:05:24.857 --> 00:05:27.393 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
you can plant the very best.
00:05:27.460 --> 00:05:28.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
But if you leave that field
00:05:28.628 --> 00:05:30.863 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
unattended, I can tell you
00:05:30.930 --> 00:05:33.066 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
what's going to take over.
00:05:33.132 --> 00:05:34.133 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
And I'll tell you
00:05:34.200 --> 00:05:35.234 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
something else.
00:05:35.301 --> 00:05:36.302 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
Your flowers
00:05:36.369 --> 00:05:37.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and your vegetables
00:05:37.503 --> 00:05:40.540 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
will not be in sin.
00:05:40.606 --> 00:05:43.342 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
They don't sin.
00:05:43.409 --> 00:05:44.911 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
But they will find themselves
00:05:44.977 --> 00:05:46.179 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
under the assault of
00:05:46.245 --> 00:05:48.314 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
a destroyer, as surely
00:05:48.381 --> 00:05:49.716 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
as any holy person
00:05:49.782 --> 00:05:51.951 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
sitting in this room tonight
00:05:52.018 --> 00:05:53.119 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
for the fiery darts of
00:05:53.186 --> 00:05:54.387 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the wicked come against
00:05:54.454 --> 00:05:57.490 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
every breathing, living being.
00:05:57.557 --> 00:05:59.992 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
There is a destroyer
00:06:00.059 --> 00:06:01.494 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that will grow weeds
00:06:01.561 --> 00:06:03.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and thorns and briars
00:06:03.563 --> 00:06:05.064 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
in your garden.
00:06:05.131 --> 00:06:06.265 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And the black spot,
00:06:06.332 --> 00:06:07.600 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and the spider mite,
00:06:07.667 --> 00:06:10.036 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and every other fungus
00:06:10.103 --> 00:06:11.604 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
known to man will attack
00:06:11.671 --> 00:06:14.540 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
plant life that doesn't sin.
00:06:14.607 --> 00:06:16.008 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And I can assure you that
00:06:16.075 --> 00:06:17.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
you and I are in a war with
00:06:17.643 --> 00:06:18.811 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the spiritual powers
00:06:18.878 --> 00:06:20.046 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
of darkness.
00:06:20.113 --> 00:06:21.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
And if you leave God's field
00:06:21.914 --> 00:06:22.982 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
unattended to
00:06:23.049 --> 00:06:24.617 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
by the husbandman,
00:06:24.684 --> 00:06:25.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
by Jesus Christ,
00:06:26.052 --> 00:06:27.286 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
the vinedresser,
00:06:27.353 --> 00:06:28.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
if you're not in Holy Spirit
00:06:28.988 --> 00:06:31.324 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
communion with Holy God,
00:06:31.390 --> 00:06:32.492 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and allowing the sword
00:06:32.558 --> 00:06:33.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
of the Spirit to do work
00:06:33.826 --> 00:06:35.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
in your life, you too will
00:06:35.628 --> 00:06:37.930 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
be overgrown and your field
00:06:37.997 --> 00:06:39.866 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
will become a field that
00:06:39.932 --> 00:06:42.201 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
is sprouting poisonous weeds
00:06:42.268 --> 00:06:43.369 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
rather than good fruit
00:06:43.436 --> 00:06:45.037 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to the glory of God.
00:06:45.104 --> 00:06:46.205 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I'm telling you that
00:06:46.272 --> 00:06:48.441 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
most Christians right now
00:06:48.508 --> 00:06:50.676 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
have their lives so infested
00:06:50.743 --> 00:06:51.944 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
by the work of the enemy
00:06:52.011 --> 00:06:54.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that it is an abomination
00:06:54.347 --> 00:06:57.350 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to think about.
00:06:57.416 --> 00:06:58.684 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
While I was building
00:06:58.751 --> 00:07:00.987 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
a charcoal fire, and as
00:07:01.053 --> 00:07:03.523 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I had the charcoals there
00:07:03.589 --> 00:07:04.791 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
on the grill, I remembered
00:07:04.857 --> 00:07:06.659 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
last winter a friend of mine
00:07:06.726 --> 00:07:07.760 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
went out to build
00:07:07.827 --> 00:07:09.262 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
a charcoal fire
00:07:09.328 --> 00:07:11.664 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and he couldn't get it lit.
00:07:11.731 --> 00:07:13.065 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I went out and I saw that
00:07:13.132 --> 00:07:14.600 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the charcoal was scattered
00:07:14.667 --> 00:07:16.068 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
all over the grill.
00:07:16.135 --> 00:07:18.704 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
One little layer of charcoal.
00:07:18.771 --> 00:07:19.939 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
He was dousing it with
00:07:20.006 --> 00:07:22.542 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the lighter fluid and putting
00:07:22.608 --> 00:07:24.210 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the match to it, and it would
00:07:24.277 --> 00:07:25.478 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
go like that
00:07:25.545 --> 00:07:27.446 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and dead black charcoal.
00:07:27.513 --> 00:07:28.648 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Well, I had remembered that.
00:07:28.714 --> 00:07:29.949 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I am fairly perceptive.
00:07:30.016 --> 00:07:34.353 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I learn quickly.
00:07:34.420 --> 00:07:35.488 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I'm not like some people
00:07:35.555 --> 00:07:36.889 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in government, Mr. White,
00:07:36.956 --> 00:07:38.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
who never will learn
00:07:38.157 --> 00:07:39.358 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
no matter what they do,
00:07:39.425 --> 00:07:42.662 align:start line:85% position:10% size:23%
you know?
00:07:42.728 --> 00:07:44.664 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
So what I'd done is I knew
00:07:44.730 --> 00:07:45.865 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that in order to get
00:07:45.932 --> 00:07:46.933 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
charcoal to light,
00:07:46.999 --> 00:07:48.267 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
you've got to pile it up
00:07:48.334 --> 00:07:49.468 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
in a neat little pile.
00:07:49.535 --> 00:07:51.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And I watched this.
00:07:51.504 --> 00:07:53.206 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I get the charcoal
00:07:53.272 --> 00:07:55.942 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and I make a little pile,
00:07:56.008 --> 00:07:57.043 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and some of the little
00:07:57.109 --> 00:07:58.177 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
briquettes trickle off
00:07:58.244 --> 00:08:00.112 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and roll down the side.
00:08:00.179 --> 00:08:01.914 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And meticulously, I reach down
00:08:01.981 --> 00:08:03.049 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and pick up the charcoal
00:08:03.115 --> 00:08:04.317 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and I place it in.
00:08:04.383 --> 00:08:05.384 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I have to lodge it.
00:08:05.451 --> 00:08:06.452 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I have to prop it up
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:07.587 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
with some more charcoal.
00:08:07.653 --> 00:08:08.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I've got dirt all over
00:08:08.721 --> 00:08:10.423 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
my fingers and I'm piling up
00:08:10.489 --> 00:08:11.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
the charcoal, and it's
00:08:11.691 --> 00:08:13.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
as though the Lord himself
00:08:13.159 --> 00:08:14.527 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
is just chuckling at me.
00:08:14.594 --> 00:08:16.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
He does that a lot about me,
00:08:16.362 --> 00:08:17.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
chuckles at me a lot.
00:08:17.697 --> 00:08:19.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
He thinks I'm pretty funny.
00:08:19.232 --> 00:08:20.600 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And he's just chuckling at me,
00:08:20.666 --> 00:08:21.667 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and he says,
00:08:21.734 --> 00:08:22.735 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
"Well, look at you.
00:08:22.802 --> 00:08:23.803 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
What are you doing?"
00:08:23.870 --> 00:08:25.004 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
The Lord and I talk
00:08:25.071 --> 00:08:26.072 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
like this a lot.
00:08:26.138 --> 00:08:27.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
Excuse me? Some people
00:08:27.206 --> 00:08:28.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
don't believe you can,
00:08:28.274 --> 00:08:29.275 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
but I'm enjoying it
00:08:29.342 --> 00:08:30.443 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and I'll go right on
00:08:30.509 --> 00:08:31.510 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
talking to him.
00:08:31.577 --> 00:08:32.945 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
He likes to talk to me
00:08:33.012 --> 00:08:34.146 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and we fellowship like this.
00:08:34.213 --> 00:08:35.214 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
It's really all right to
00:08:35.281 --> 00:08:36.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
fellowship with your Father.
00:08:36.449 --> 00:08:37.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
He really likes
00:08:37.516 --> 00:08:38.517 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to talk to you.
00:08:38.584 --> 00:08:39.585 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Now, he never will
00:08:39.652 --> 00:08:40.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
contradict his word.
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:42.088 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
That's the reason he gave you
00:08:42.154 --> 00:08:43.289 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the word because the devil
00:08:43.356 --> 00:08:44.357 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
will masquerade
00:08:44.423 --> 00:08:45.558 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
as an angel of light.
00:08:45.625 --> 00:08:47.026 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
And his ministers will come as
00:08:47.093 --> 00:08:49.595 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
ministers of righteousness,
00:08:49.662 --> 00:08:52.965 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and they'll deceive you.
00:08:53.032 --> 00:08:54.200 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
They don't come in
00:08:54.267 --> 00:08:55.501 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and announce, "Behold,
00:08:55.568 --> 00:08:56.969 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
a false prophet."
00:08:57.036 --> 00:09:01.107 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
[Laughter]
00:09:01.173 --> 00:09:03.776 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
They think they're right.
00:09:03.843 --> 00:09:05.311 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
But when you're deceived,
00:09:05.378 --> 00:09:09.649 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
you deceive.
00:09:09.715 --> 00:09:11.150 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
The Lord and I talk a lot,
00:09:11.217 --> 00:09:12.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and he's chuckling and said,
00:09:12.551 --> 00:09:13.552 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
"What are you doing?"
00:09:13.619 --> 00:09:14.720 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And I said, "I'm stacking
00:09:14.787 --> 00:09:16.322 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
this charcoal; it won't light
00:09:16.389 --> 00:09:17.323 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
unless you get it
00:09:17.390 --> 00:09:18.491 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
all together where all
00:09:18.557 --> 00:09:19.892 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
of it's touching each other."
00:09:19.959 --> 00:09:20.960 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And I said, "That's what
00:09:21.027 --> 00:09:22.228 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I'm doing, Lord."
00:09:22.295 --> 00:09:23.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
And he said,
00:09:23.496 --> 00:09:24.463 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
"Isn't that something?"
00:09:24.530 --> 00:09:25.498 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
He said, "Why don't you
00:09:25.564 --> 00:09:26.565 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
preachers learn to do that
00:09:26.632 --> 00:09:27.700 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
with my people?"
00:09:27.767 --> 00:09:28.868 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
He said, "My people are
00:09:28.935 --> 00:09:30.069 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
scattered all over the earth,
00:09:30.136 --> 00:09:31.103 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
not even touching each other,
00:09:31.170 --> 00:09:32.138 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and you're running around
00:09:32.204 --> 00:09:33.172 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
trying to soak them
00:09:33.239 --> 00:09:34.240 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
in the oil of the Holy Spirit,
00:09:34.307 --> 00:09:35.341 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
and in truth."
00:09:35.408 --> 00:09:36.342 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
He said, "You just soak them
00:09:36.409 --> 00:09:37.843 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and soak them and soak them,
00:09:37.910 --> 00:09:38.945 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
and then you wonder why
00:09:39.011 --> 00:09:42.581 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
they don't get on fire."
00:09:42.648 --> 00:09:45.985 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
[Applause]
00:09:51.123 --> 00:09:52.892 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
He said, "My son's already
00:09:52.959 --> 00:09:56.495 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
prayed that you may be one
00:09:56.562 --> 00:09:58.197 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
as we are one.
00:09:58.264 --> 00:09:59.832 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
A new commandment he gave you
00:09:59.899 --> 00:10:03.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that you love one another
00:10:03.102 --> 00:10:07.106 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
even as we are of one another.
00:10:07.173 --> 00:10:08.474 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And by this, the world will
00:10:08.541 --> 00:10:10.209 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
know you're my disciples --
00:10:10.276 --> 00:10:11.577 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
my disciples.
00:10:11.644 --> 00:10:13.446 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
Not full gospel, not by this,
00:10:13.512 --> 00:10:14.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
not Pentecostal,
00:10:14.613 --> 00:10:15.748 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
not charismatic
00:10:15.815 --> 00:10:18.284 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
-- my disciples if you love
00:10:18.351 --> 00:10:19.452 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
one another --
00:10:19.518 --> 00:10:22.288 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
really love one another."
00:10:22.355 --> 00:10:24.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And the Lord said --
00:10:24.857 --> 00:10:26.625 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the Lord said, "You can
00:10:26.692 --> 00:10:28.127 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
soak them in truth,
00:10:28.194 --> 00:10:29.228 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
soak them in Holy Spirit
00:10:29.295 --> 00:10:31.297 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
emphasis but until my people
00:10:31.364 --> 00:10:33.132 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
agree to come together,
00:10:33.199 --> 00:10:36.035 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
until my people will seek,
00:10:36.102 --> 00:10:39.805 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
strive diligently to preserve
00:10:39.872 --> 00:10:41.941 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
the unity of the spirit
00:10:42.008 --> 00:10:43.275 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
into which they were
00:10:43.342 --> 00:10:44.410 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
born in Christ,
00:10:44.477 --> 00:10:46.479 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
in a bond of peace,"
00:10:46.545 --> 00:10:47.813 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
he said, "you need not
00:10:47.880 --> 00:10:51.517 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
expect me to light the fire."
00:10:51.584 --> 00:10:53.219 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
He said, "Let my people come
00:10:53.285 --> 00:10:55.788 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
together with this purpose
00:10:55.855 --> 00:10:57.890 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to seek me as they did
00:10:57.957 --> 00:11:00.359 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
at Pentecost waiting on me,
00:11:00.426 --> 00:11:01.827 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
waiting on the promise of
00:11:01.894 --> 00:11:04.363 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the Father, waiting on me,
00:11:04.430 --> 00:11:07.233 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and I'll light their fire."
00:11:07.299 --> 00:11:11.137 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
That's what I want to see.
00:11:11.203 --> 00:11:14.006 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I'm committed to that.
00:11:14.073 --> 00:11:15.975 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I'm committed to it.
00:11:16.042 --> 00:11:17.243 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
There isn't anybody
00:11:17.309 --> 00:11:18.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I'll stop loving.
00:11:18.377 --> 00:11:19.378 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
I've been called
00:11:19.445 --> 00:11:20.613 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
the ugliest names any preacher
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:21.680 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
has been called.
00:11:21.747 --> 00:11:23.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I never knew a preacher could
00:11:23.282 --> 00:11:24.483 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
get called what I've been
00:11:24.550 --> 00:11:27.720 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
called in the last year.
00:11:27.787 --> 00:11:28.888 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
I don't know
00:11:28.954 --> 00:11:30.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
any other preacher here
00:11:30.122 --> 00:11:31.457 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that's been called a cult
00:11:31.524 --> 00:11:34.193 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and a cult leader,
00:11:34.260 --> 00:11:35.294 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
that's been on the headlines
00:11:35.361 --> 00:11:36.429 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of several papers with
00:11:36.495 --> 00:11:37.696 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
a very flattering picture
00:11:37.763 --> 00:11:40.699 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
of me like this.
00:11:40.766 --> 00:11:43.869 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
[Snarling]
00:11:43.936 --> 00:11:47.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
[Laughter]
00:11:52.678 --> 00:11:56.282 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I want to tell you
00:11:56.348 --> 00:11:57.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I love those people.
00:11:57.516 --> 00:11:58.617 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
I'm not even
00:11:58.684 --> 00:12:00.786 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
a little bit mad at them.
00:12:00.853 --> 00:12:01.954 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I mean, I'm really not.
00:12:02.021 --> 00:12:03.189 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
I'm not even chapped.
00:12:03.255 --> 00:12:05.257 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I'm not even hacked.
00:12:05.324 --> 00:12:06.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
I'd preach for them next week
00:12:06.659 --> 00:12:07.793 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
if they had the courage
00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:09.195 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
to let me come.
00:12:09.261 --> 00:12:10.496 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
I mean, I'd just love to go
00:12:10.563 --> 00:12:11.664 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
and just preach
00:12:11.730 --> 00:12:14.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to their people.
00:12:14.967 --> 00:12:16.735 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
I'm not mad at them.
00:12:16.802 --> 00:12:17.736 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
Let me tell you
00:12:17.803 --> 00:12:18.771 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
what we're doing.
00:12:18.838 --> 00:12:20.539 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
Listen, folks, we're revealing
00:12:20.606 --> 00:12:24.176 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
the true nature of our system.
00:12:24.243 --> 00:12:25.311 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
We've got the nature of
00:12:25.377 --> 00:12:30.983 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
the accuser of the brethren.
00:12:31.050 --> 00:12:37.156 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We're mean to each other.
00:12:37.223 --> 00:12:38.257 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
God's going to heal us
00:12:38.324 --> 00:12:39.391 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
because we're going to agree
00:12:39.458 --> 00:12:40.459 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to love one another.
00:12:40.526 --> 00:12:41.594 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So listen, I'm not going
00:12:41.660 --> 00:12:42.661 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
to compromise.
00:12:42.728 --> 00:12:44.063 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Well, I believe it may be
00:12:44.130 --> 00:12:45.197 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
the greatest compromise of all
00:12:45.264 --> 00:12:46.599 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
to refuse to love one another.
00:12:46.665 --> 00:12:48.234 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
As a matter of fact, if you
00:12:48.300 --> 00:12:49.301 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
don't love one another,
00:12:49.368 --> 00:12:50.369 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
God says you don't
00:12:50.436 --> 00:12:51.770 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
even know him.
00:12:51.837 --> 00:12:52.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I didn't say that,
00:12:53.005 --> 00:12:54.206 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
God said it.
00:12:54.273 --> 00:12:55.441 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
You can't hear God
00:12:55.508 --> 00:12:56.509 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
if you won't walk in love.
00:12:56.575 --> 00:12:57.610 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
How are you going to know
00:12:57.676 --> 00:12:58.711 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the truth if you're committed
00:12:58.777 --> 00:13:00.346 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to walk in darkness
00:13:00.412 --> 00:13:03.983 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
hating one another?
00:13:04.049 --> 00:13:05.784 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
God, forgive us!
00:13:05.851 --> 00:13:07.620 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
He's going to.
00:13:08.787 --> 00:13:10.990 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
Well, folks, that's just
00:13:11.056 --> 00:13:12.224 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
kind of a truckload
00:13:12.291 --> 00:13:16.162 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
of truth you heard.
00:13:16.228 --> 00:13:17.363 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
Betty, God did such
00:13:17.429 --> 00:13:18.797 align:start line:63% position:10% size:48%
a transforming work
00:13:18.864 --> 00:13:20.666 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
in not only our lives
00:13:20.733 --> 00:13:22.701 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
but the whole church.
00:13:22.768 --> 00:13:23.903 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And that's carried over
00:13:23.969 --> 00:13:25.638 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to where I'm seeing
00:13:25.704 --> 00:13:28.874 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
miraculous things happen now
00:13:28.941 --> 00:13:30.843 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to impact the world.
00:13:30.910 --> 00:13:32.077 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
As a matter of fact,
00:13:32.144 --> 00:13:33.646 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
the church coming together
00:13:33.712 --> 00:13:34.847 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in the days that followed
00:13:34.914 --> 00:13:37.183 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that message even,
00:13:37.249 --> 00:13:40.152 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
literally saved freedom and
00:13:40.219 --> 00:13:42.888 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
literally began to collapse
00:13:42.955 --> 00:13:45.090 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the Soviet Union's power
00:13:45.157 --> 00:13:47.660 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and their economy.
00:13:47.726 --> 00:13:48.894 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
It was because of what
00:13:48.961 --> 00:13:50.996 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
God did back then
00:13:51.063 --> 00:13:52.798 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
with national leadership,
00:13:52.865 --> 00:13:54.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the result of prayer, and
00:13:54.800 --> 00:13:56.468 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
the result of church people
00:13:56.535 --> 00:13:58.037 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
deciding not to let
00:13:58.103 --> 00:13:59.672 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
denominational walls
00:13:59.738 --> 00:14:01.006 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
keep them from getting
00:14:01.073 --> 00:14:02.474 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to know one another
00:14:02.541 --> 00:14:05.511 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and know him better.
00:14:05.578 --> 00:14:07.880 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
We need to see that kind
00:14:07.947 --> 00:14:09.215 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of awakening right now
00:14:09.281 --> 00:14:11.016 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in the church.
00:14:11.083 --> 00:14:12.718 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And we need to overpower
00:14:12.785 --> 00:14:14.820 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the deceiver that is
00:14:14.887 --> 00:14:17.856 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
continuing nonstop
00:14:17.923 --> 00:14:19.758 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
in the media, on the news.
00:14:19.825 --> 00:14:22.261 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
Don't you get tired, Betty,
00:14:22.328 --> 00:14:24.663 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of watching the nature of
00:14:24.730 --> 00:14:26.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
the devil being expressed
00:14:26.599 --> 00:14:27.933 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
through so many people
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:29.168 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in leadership,
00:14:29.235 --> 00:14:30.569 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
so many people on the news,
00:14:30.636 --> 00:14:31.770 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
so many people in the media?
00:14:31.837 --> 00:14:32.838 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
BETTY: Absolutely.
00:14:32.905 --> 00:14:34.039 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
James, he's not hidden
00:14:34.106 --> 00:14:35.474 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
among the darkness anymore.
00:14:35.541 --> 00:14:36.475 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
He's right out there
00:14:36.542 --> 00:14:37.543 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
in the front.
00:14:37.610 --> 00:14:38.844 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
It is so evident that you can
00:14:38.911 --> 00:14:41.647 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
see the evil all around us.
00:14:41.714 --> 00:14:43.249 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
People, they're parading
00:14:43.315 --> 00:14:44.283 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
it around.
00:14:44.350 --> 00:14:45.351 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
They don't care.
00:14:45.417 --> 00:14:46.485 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
They don't understand
00:14:46.552 --> 00:14:47.553 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
they're being used
00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:48.887 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
by the enemy
00:14:48.954 --> 00:14:50.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to destroy what God --
00:14:50.556 --> 00:14:52.024 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
try to destroy what God wants
00:14:52.091 --> 00:14:53.559 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
to accomplish in our lives.
00:14:53.626 --> 00:14:55.027 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
So this message, James, to me,
00:14:55.094 --> 00:14:57.663 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
is so relevant to today.
00:14:57.730 --> 00:14:59.064 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
It's timeless.
00:14:59.131 --> 00:15:01.467 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
God's truth is timeless.
00:15:01.533 --> 00:15:03.769 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
We better wake up and hear
00:15:03.836 --> 00:15:06.005 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
what he says -- wants to say
00:15:06.071 --> 00:15:07.306 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to our hearts first.
00:15:07.373 --> 00:15:08.641 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
JAMES: I really believe
00:15:08.707 --> 00:15:10.309 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
that we're going to see
00:15:10.376 --> 00:15:11.377 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
the greatest awakening
00:15:11.443 --> 00:15:12.911 align:start line:63% position:10% size:28%
in history.
00:15:12.978 --> 00:15:14.380 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
I want to just ask you
00:15:14.446 --> 00:15:16.548 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
to not miss tomorrow.
00:15:16.615 --> 00:15:17.616 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
I want to ask you to
00:15:17.683 --> 00:15:18.751 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
encourage everybody you know
00:15:18.817 --> 00:15:20.386 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to watch this message.
00:15:20.452 --> 00:15:21.520 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We're going to bring back
00:15:21.587 --> 00:15:22.721 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
some of the messages that
00:15:22.788 --> 00:15:25.190 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I preached years ago that
00:15:25.257 --> 00:15:26.592 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
had an undeniable impact
00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:28.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
on the church.
00:15:28.394 --> 00:15:29.528 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
And as a result of what
00:15:29.595 --> 00:15:31.130 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
happened in the church,
00:15:31.196 --> 00:15:32.298 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
great things happened
00:15:32.364 --> 00:15:33.632 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
in the nation,
00:15:33.699 --> 00:15:35.601 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and even in the world.
00:15:35.668 --> 00:15:37.636 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
We're seeing glimpses
00:15:37.703 --> 00:15:39.305 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of God's glory through
00:15:39.371 --> 00:15:41.273 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
church leaders that even
00:15:41.340 --> 00:15:42.608 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
back then when I delivered
00:15:42.675 --> 00:15:44.443 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that message, decided not
00:15:44.510 --> 00:15:46.712 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to let their denomination
00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:47.980 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
keep them from getting
00:15:48.047 --> 00:15:49.848 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to know one another
00:15:49.915 --> 00:15:51.717 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and to know him better
00:15:51.784 --> 00:15:53.886 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
by literally moving
00:15:53.952 --> 00:15:55.954 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in the supernatural unity
00:15:56.021 --> 00:15:57.589 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
of the spirit.
00:15:57.656 --> 00:15:59.458 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
That is what we need.
00:15:59.525 --> 00:16:01.327 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
Betty, you know we have
00:16:01.393 --> 00:16:03.362 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
great joy in doing something
00:16:03.429 --> 00:16:05.297 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
this time of year.
00:16:05.364 --> 00:16:08.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
We call it Shoes and Smiles
00:16:08.867 --> 00:16:10.169 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
for Christmas.
00:16:10.235 --> 00:16:12.871 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
We literally give
00:16:12.938 --> 00:16:14.740 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
tens of thousands,
00:16:14.807 --> 00:16:16.909 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
hundreds of thousands
00:16:16.975 --> 00:16:19.211 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
of little shoes like this
00:16:19.278 --> 00:16:21.246 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in the size of the children,
00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:24.316 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
and the little Christmas
00:16:24.383 --> 00:16:27.453 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
ornament is decorating trees.
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:29.755 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
You've got several trees
00:16:29.822 --> 00:16:31.056 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
decorated with these ornaments
00:16:31.123 --> 00:16:32.658 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
because we send you
00:16:32.725 --> 00:16:36.195 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
four of them if you give $100
00:16:36.261 --> 00:16:37.396 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
for us to give a child
00:16:37.463 --> 00:16:39.198 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
shoes and smiles.
00:16:39.264 --> 00:16:41.200 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
I mean, it's just amazing.
00:16:41.266 --> 00:16:44.169 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
I'm telling you, we love it.
00:16:44.236 --> 00:16:46.705 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
I want you to look in
00:16:46.772 --> 00:16:48.240 align:start line:10% position:10% size:28%
and listen.
00:16:48.307 --> 00:16:50.609 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
Listen to a medical doctor.
00:16:50.676 --> 00:16:52.111 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
Listen to somebody
00:16:52.177 --> 00:16:54.480 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
who really knew the truth that
00:16:54.546 --> 00:16:56.281 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
we all need to hear and know.
00:16:56.348 --> 00:16:58.183 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
And Betty, the thought
00:16:58.250 --> 00:17:00.819 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
of giving shoes, this is me,
00:17:00.886 --> 00:17:03.589 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
but giving smiles, I think,
00:17:03.655 --> 00:17:04.890 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
maybe gives me an even
00:17:04.957 --> 00:17:06.258 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
greater blessing, because
00:17:06.325 --> 00:17:08.694 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
these children with cleft
palate,
00:17:08.761 --> 00:17:09.928 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
they never thought
00:17:09.995 --> 00:17:11.463 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
they'd have a smile.
00:17:11.530 --> 00:17:13.465 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
Let's give them some smiles.
00:17:13.532 --> 00:17:15.467 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
Let's give Shoes and Smiles
00:17:15.534 --> 00:17:16.802 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
for Christmas.
00:17:16.869 --> 00:17:18.837 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
Listen prayerfully.
00:17:19.838 --> 00:17:23.809 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
TAMMY: We're so excited
to help you with that.
00:17:23.876 --> 00:17:27.279 align:start line:10% position:20% size:60%
For nearly two decades,
friends of Life Outreach
International
00:17:27.346 --> 00:17:29.948 align:center line:10% position:50% size:75%
have made it possible for us
to bless thousands of children
00:17:30.015 --> 00:17:32.050 align:center line:10% position:50% size:40%
during the
Christmas season
00:17:32.117 --> 00:17:35.254 align:center line:10% position:50% size:68%
through our Christmas Shoes
and Smiles campaign.
00:17:35.320 --> 00:17:37.356 align:start line:10% position:28% size:43%
Because of
their generosity,
00:17:37.423 --> 00:17:39.491 align:center line:10% position:50% size:65%
we've been able to provide
shoes for children
00:17:39.558 --> 00:17:42.394 align:center line:10% position:50% size:60%
of impoverished families
throughout the world.
00:17:42.461 --> 00:17:45.798 align:start line:10% position:20% size:58%
And for children
impacted with cleft lip
and palate disorders,
00:17:45.864 --> 00:17:49.134 align:center line:10% position:50% size:65%
we have blessed them
with corrective surgeries.
00:17:49.201 --> 00:17:51.236 align:start line:79% position:28% size:45%
>> Cleft lip
and palate affects
00:17:51.303 --> 00:17:56.575 align:center line:63% position:50% size:50%
about 1 in 800
to 1 in 1000 babies.
00:17:56.642 --> 00:18:00.179 align:start line:63% position:20% size:58%
So when a child is born
with a cleft palate
00:18:00.245 --> 00:18:02.381 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
and it's not repaired,
then they can have
00:18:02.448 --> 00:18:05.384 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
lifelong problems
with speech.
00:18:05.451 --> 00:18:11.723 align:start line:79% position:18% size:65%
And then, it also affects
feeding, of course because
00:18:11.790 --> 00:18:15.127 align:center line:79% position:50% size:65%
when babies are breastfed,
they must create suction.
00:18:15.194 --> 00:18:17.162 align:start line:79% position:30% size:38%
When they have
a cleft palate,
00:18:17.229 --> 00:18:19.565 align:center line:74% position:50% size:65%
they can't create the seal
that enables them to
create suction.
00:18:19.631 --> 00:18:23.235 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
But there's hope because
it's very treatable.
00:18:23.302 --> 00:18:26.905 align:start line:74% position:23% size:55%
So it's really amazing
how over the course of
a one-hour surgery,
00:18:26.972 --> 00:18:29.341 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
you really transform
a child's face,
00:18:29.408 --> 00:18:32.010 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
but you transform
how they eat,
00:18:32.077 --> 00:18:37.382 align:center line:74% position:50% size:60%
and transform how
they'll interact with
the world in the future.
00:18:37.449 --> 00:18:39.651 align:start line:10% position:23% size:55%
This Christmas season,
you can be part
00:18:39.718 --> 00:18:42.120 align:center line:10% position:50% size:68%
of bringing joy to children
around the world
00:18:42.187 --> 00:18:44.323 align:center line:10% position:50% size:48%
by providing them
a new pair of shoes
00:18:44.389 --> 00:18:46.959 align:center line:10% position:50% size:53%
or a smile that
will last a lifetime.
00:18:47.025 --> 00:18:49.795 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
>> So I'm really grateful
for the opportunity
00:18:49.862 --> 00:18:52.564 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
to do these surgeries
that impact the lives
00:18:52.631 --> 00:18:57.002 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
that is given by
Life Outreach International.
00:19:04.142 --> 00:19:06.011 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
JAMES: I just can't tell you,
00:19:06.078 --> 00:19:07.579 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
I mean it's --
00:19:07.646 --> 00:19:08.881 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
Betty, don't you just love
00:19:08.947 --> 00:19:09.982 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
all the little children
00:19:10.048 --> 00:19:11.483 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
that need shoes?
00:19:11.550 --> 00:19:12.651 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And don't you love the ones
00:19:12.718 --> 00:19:13.685 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
that never thought
00:19:13.752 --> 00:19:15.320 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
they would ever smile?
00:19:15.387 --> 00:19:18.390 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
It just gives me great joy
00:19:18.457 --> 00:19:20.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
to give them shoes,
00:19:20.158 --> 00:19:22.194 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to give them smiles.
00:19:22.261 --> 00:19:23.462 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
And Betty and I normally give
00:19:23.529 --> 00:19:24.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
more than one time
00:19:24.696 --> 00:19:28.367 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
to every outreach we have
00:19:28.433 --> 00:19:31.370 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
because we love him
00:19:31.436 --> 00:19:33.705 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and we love them.
00:19:33.772 --> 00:19:34.806 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
Betty, don't you love seeing
00:19:34.873 --> 00:19:35.908 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
those little children that
00:19:35.974 --> 00:19:37.442 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
never smiled have a smile?
00:19:37.509 --> 00:19:38.877 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
BETTY: It is awesome, James.
00:19:38.944 --> 00:19:40.379 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
And just to think of the joy
00:19:40.445 --> 00:19:41.813 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
that that mother
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:43.181 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of that child has.
00:19:43.248 --> 00:19:44.583 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Every mom wants her baby
00:19:44.650 --> 00:19:45.884 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to be able to smile,
00:19:45.951 --> 00:19:47.653 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
that first smile they have
00:19:47.719 --> 00:19:48.787 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
looking at their mother
00:19:48.854 --> 00:19:49.955 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and how much love
00:19:50.022 --> 00:19:51.056 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
she has for them.
00:19:51.123 --> 00:19:52.157 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
What a difference that makes
00:19:52.224 --> 00:19:53.392 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
though, that her baby,
00:19:53.458 --> 00:19:54.493 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
their babies are going
00:19:54.560 --> 00:19:55.561 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
to be able to smile.
00:19:55.627 --> 00:19:56.828 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And then the shoes.
00:19:56.895 --> 00:19:58.030 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
One of the greatest things
00:19:58.096 --> 00:19:59.765 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
that I sense in my heart
00:19:59.831 --> 00:20:01.433 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
was we got to go over there
00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:02.634 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
-- a privilege.
00:20:02.701 --> 00:20:03.902 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
I got to slip these shoes
00:20:03.969 --> 00:20:05.103 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
on some of these precious
00:20:05.170 --> 00:20:06.872 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
little children, and to see
00:20:06.939 --> 00:20:08.307 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
their hearts just glow
00:20:08.373 --> 00:20:09.474 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
when their smiles
00:20:09.541 --> 00:20:10.709 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
come on their faces,
00:20:10.776 --> 00:20:12.044 align:start line:85% position:10% size:75%
and slipping their little feet
00:20:12.110 --> 00:20:13.178 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
into these shoes.
00:20:13.245 --> 00:20:14.546 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
It brought me such great,
00:20:14.613 --> 00:20:15.948 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
great joy, James.
00:20:16.281 --> 00:20:17.549 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
Just as I know it does you
00:20:17.616 --> 00:20:18.717 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
just knowing that
00:20:18.784 --> 00:20:19.952 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
you're doing that
00:20:20.018 --> 00:20:21.153 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
through Life Outreach.
00:20:21.219 --> 00:20:22.321 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
JAMES: Well, it's a miracle
00:20:22.387 --> 00:20:23.488 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
that could only happen
00:20:23.555 --> 00:20:24.723 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
because of you.
00:20:24.790 --> 00:20:25.958 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
You know, Betty and I went
00:20:26.024 --> 00:20:27.359 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
to more than 40 nations
00:20:27.426 --> 00:20:29.962 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
and we spent, you know,
00:20:30.028 --> 00:20:31.863 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
35 years crusading
00:20:31.930 --> 00:20:33.599 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
and 25 years, basically,
00:20:33.665 --> 00:20:35.634 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
hands-on in the mission field.
00:20:35.701 --> 00:20:36.802 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
Do you know what we did?
00:20:36.868 --> 00:20:38.303 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
We found missionaries
00:20:38.370 --> 00:20:39.404 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
that left everything
00:20:39.471 --> 00:20:40.872 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
to plant their life
00:20:40.939 --> 00:20:43.108 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
in the midst of suffering.
00:20:43.175 --> 00:20:45.143 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
They even took their children.
00:20:45.210 --> 00:20:46.745 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
They homeschooled them.
00:20:46.812 --> 00:20:48.080 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
Wherever they went,
00:20:48.146 --> 00:20:49.281 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
wherever there was a village
00:20:49.348 --> 00:20:50.515 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
or a need, they went with
00:20:50.582 --> 00:20:52.484 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
their whole heart involved.
00:20:52.551 --> 00:20:54.620 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
When I saw these people
00:20:54.686 --> 00:20:55.854 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
and I said, you know what?
00:20:55.921 --> 00:20:57.122 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
I think, Betty and I will
00:20:57.189 --> 00:20:58.190 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
come over here
00:20:58.256 --> 00:20:59.257 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
and just help you.
00:20:59.324 --> 00:21:00.325 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
The missionary said,
00:21:00.392 --> 00:21:01.393 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
"Please don't!"
00:21:01.460 --> 00:21:02.461 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
Peter Pretorious
00:21:02.527 --> 00:21:03.528 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
made it very clear,
00:21:03.595 --> 00:21:04.596 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
"Please don't stay here.
00:21:04.663 --> 00:21:05.664 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
Please go back and see
00:21:05.731 --> 00:21:07.032 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
if you can get us help
00:21:07.099 --> 00:21:08.700 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
so we can stay here
00:21:08.767 --> 00:21:11.069 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
and not be empty-handed."
00:21:11.136 --> 00:21:13.071 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
I was amazed, Betty, when
00:21:13.138 --> 00:21:14.940 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
we came back and started
00:21:15.007 --> 00:21:16.975 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
talking to you about helping
00:21:17.042 --> 00:21:18.844 align:start line:10% position:10% size:33%
the helpless,
00:21:18.910 --> 00:21:20.379 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
helping the hungry,
00:21:20.445 --> 00:21:22.414 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
helping the thirsty,
00:21:22.481 --> 00:21:24.282 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
and of all things,
00:21:24.349 --> 00:21:25.484 align:start line:10% position:10% size:33%
putting shoes
00:21:25.550 --> 00:21:27.019 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
on little precious feet
00:21:27.085 --> 00:21:29.087 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
and giving them a smile,
00:21:29.154 --> 00:21:31.023 align:start line:10% position:10% size:28%
you did it.
00:21:31.089 --> 00:21:32.224 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
I just feel like
00:21:32.290 --> 00:21:33.558 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
God just corrected me.
00:21:33.625 --> 00:21:35.127 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
He said, no, James,
00:21:35.193 --> 00:21:37.929 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
I did it through them.
00:21:37.996 --> 00:21:40.198 align:start line:10% position:10% size:43%
When you ask them
00:21:40.265 --> 00:21:42.234 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
would they do my will,
00:21:42.300 --> 00:21:44.269 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
would they express my love,
00:21:44.336 --> 00:21:46.505 align:start line:10% position:10% size:35%
they said yes.
00:21:46.571 --> 00:21:47.639 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
And they helped me put
00:21:47.706 --> 00:21:50.709 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
my arms around the children
00:21:50.776 --> 00:21:54.579 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
that I gave my son to redeem.
00:21:54.646 --> 00:21:56.248 align:start line:10% position:10% size:25%
Thank you.
00:21:56.314 --> 00:21:57.416 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
Would you right now make
00:21:57.482 --> 00:21:59.184 align:start line:10% position:10% size:68%
the largest gift you can to
00:21:59.251 --> 00:22:01.486 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
help us give shoes and smiles?
00:22:01.553 --> 00:22:03.955 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
You know, $36 provides
00:22:04.022 --> 00:22:06.758 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
ten children shoes.
00:22:06.825 --> 00:22:11.129 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
Man, that's like $3 per child.
00:22:11.196 --> 00:22:14.933 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
Would you please, please,
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:16.802 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
would you give a smile?
00:22:16.868 --> 00:22:18.036 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
Could you give $1,000
00:22:18.103 --> 00:22:20.072 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
and give two smiles?
00:22:20.138 --> 00:22:21.139 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
Whatever you can do,
00:22:21.206 --> 00:22:22.207 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
I believe you're going
00:22:22.274 --> 00:22:23.275 align:start line:10% position:10% size:23%
to do it.
00:22:23.341 --> 00:22:24.342 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
Go get your bank card,
00:22:24.409 --> 00:22:25.444 align:start line:10% position:10% size:50%
use it like a check.
00:22:25.510 --> 00:22:26.511 align:start line:10% position:10% size:53%
If you write a check,
00:22:26.578 --> 00:22:27.579 align:start line:10% position:10% size:40%
make it to LIFE,
00:22:27.646 --> 00:22:28.914 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
but you need to call us
00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:30.048 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
and tell us it's coming
00:22:30.115 --> 00:22:31.483 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
because we do have to let
00:22:31.550 --> 00:22:33.118 align:start line:10% position:10% size:55%
the missionaries know,
00:22:33.185 --> 00:22:34.953 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
You can count on the help.
00:22:35.020 --> 00:22:36.621 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
You can count on the shoes
00:22:36.688 --> 00:22:37.923 align:start line:10% position:10% size:48%
and you can provide
00:22:37.989 --> 00:22:39.324 align:start line:10% position:10% size:30%
some smiles.
00:22:39.391 --> 00:22:40.492 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
I'm praying that every one
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:44.129 align:start line:10% position:10% size:75%
of you who can give will give.
00:22:44.196 --> 00:22:46.331 align:start line:10% position:10% size:73%
Father, please pour your love
00:22:46.398 --> 00:22:47.632 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
out through those who are
00:22:47.699 --> 00:22:49.935 align:start line:10% position:10% size:60%
watching; in Jesus name.
00:22:50.001 --> 00:22:51.069 align:start line:10% position:10% size:33%
Let's witness
00:22:51.136 --> 00:22:52.204 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
a miracle of love.
00:22:52.270 --> 00:22:54.206 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
Let's all be a part of that.
00:22:54.272 --> 00:22:55.440 align:start line:10% position:10% size:58%
Thank you for doing it.
00:22:55.507 --> 00:22:57.275 align:start line:10% position:10% size:65%
We have some gifts for you
00:22:57.342 --> 00:22:58.710 align:start line:10% position:10% size:45%
that I promise you
00:22:58.777 --> 00:23:00.579 align:start line:10% position:10% size:63%
will bless you very much.
00:23:00.645 --> 00:23:02.047 align:start line:10% position:10% size:70%
But boy, how you're blessing
00:23:02.114 --> 00:23:03.248 align:start line:10% position:10% size:38%
these children.
00:23:03.315 --> 00:23:05.317 align:start line:10% position:10% size:25%
Thank you.
00:23:06.318 --> 00:23:08.820 align:start line:58% position:25% size:50%
Poverty is a killer,
and because of it,
00:23:08.887 --> 00:23:10.889 align:center line:58% position:50% size:43%
children
needlessly suffer
00:23:10.956 --> 00:23:12.924 align:center line:58% position:50% size:65%
not only from lack of food
and clean water,
00:23:12.991 --> 00:23:15.660 align:center line:58% position:50% size:75%
but also from a lack of things
we take for granted,
00:23:15.727 --> 00:23:19.731 align:center line:58% position:50% size:75%
such as a healthy smile
or a protective pair of shoes.
00:23:19.798 --> 00:23:22.234 align:start line:58% position:18% size:63%
Far too many children
living in extreme poverty
00:23:22.300 --> 00:23:24.302 align:center line:58% position:50% size:40%
have never owned
a pair of shoes.
00:23:24.369 --> 00:23:26.438 align:start line:58% position:30% size:38%
And while that
may seem minor,
00:23:26.505 --> 00:23:28.540 align:center line:58% position:50% size:55%
walking with bare feet
puts them at risk
00:23:28.607 --> 00:23:32.477 align:center line:58% position:50% size:75%
of painful infections, injury,
and life-threatening diseases.
00:23:32.544 --> 00:23:35.147 align:start line:10% position:15% size:68%
But this Christmas, you can
bring hope and healing.
00:23:35.213 --> 00:23:37.415 align:start line:10% position:18% size:63%
Your gift today will help
provide new shoes
00:23:37.482 --> 00:23:41.253 align:center line:10% position:50% size:63%
for 150,000 children
in time for the holidays.
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:44.456 align:start line:10% position:23% size:55%
And for some children,
a beautiful new smile.
00:23:44.523 --> 00:23:48.627 align:start line:10% position:20% size:58%
Your gift of $36
will help provide shoes
for ten children,
00:23:48.693 --> 00:23:51.029 align:center line:10% position:50% size:38%
$72 will help
provide for 20,
00:23:51.096 --> 00:23:53.865 align:center line:10% position:50% size:53%
$180 will help
provide shoes for 50,
00:23:53.932 --> 00:23:57.335 align:center line:10% position:50% size:70%
and a gift of $500 will help
provide a cleft surgery,
00:23:57.402 --> 00:24:00.005 align:center line:10% position:50% size:48%
restoring a child's
smile forever.
00:24:00.071 --> 00:24:02.073 align:start line:10% position:23% size:53%
As a thank you for
your gift of support,
00:24:02.140 --> 00:24:04.075 align:center line:10% position:50% size:58%

00:24:04.142 --> 00:24:06.178 align:center line:10% position:50% size:35%

a treasure to display
each Christmas.
00:24:08.713 --> 00:24:11.216 align:start line:10% position:30% size:40%
With your gift

00:24:23.795 --> 00:24:26.498 align:center line:10% position:50% size:68%
or two children with
corrective smile surgeries,
00:24:26.565 --> 00:24:31.169 align:center line:10% position:50% size:68%
and you may request the
beautiful bronze sculpture,
"Lion of Judah."
00:24:31.236 --> 00:24:36.141 align:start line:10% position:15% size:68%
Please call, write, or make
your gift online today.

JOHN:
So I'm here in South Sudan
and it is a rugged place.
00:24:39.845 --> 00:24:44.149 align:center line:53% position:50% size:70%
Rocky, thorny. If it doesn't
bite you, it will stick you.
00:24:44.216 --> 00:24:47.452 align:start line:53% position:18% size:63%
And all of these children
are barefoot.
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:49.487 align:start line:53% position:25% size:50%
Today is a great day
for them because
00:24:49.554 --> 00:24:51.823 align:center line:53% position:50% size:55%
we're in their village
with Christmas shoes.
00:24:51.890 --> 00:24:54.693 align:start line:53% position:15% size:68%
But there are still so many
villages around the world
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:57.829 align:center line:53% position:50% size:63%
that need Christmas shoes
that we want to bless.
00:24:57.896 --> 00:25:00.165 align:start line:53% position:15% size:68%
As you know, for years now,
we've been giving
00:25:00.232 --> 00:25:02.234 align:center line:53% position:50% size:53%
hundreds of thousands
of pairs away.
00:25:02.300 --> 00:25:04.302 align:center line:53% position:50% size:43%
But there's still
a great need,
00:25:04.369 --> 00:25:07.005 align:center line:53% position:50% size:75%
and we want to be a part
of sharing a little bit of joy
00:25:07.072 --> 00:25:09.107 align:center line:53% position:50% size:43%
and a little bit
of Christmas love
00:25:09.174 --> 00:25:11.209 align:center line:53% position:50% size:43%
with children
around the world.
00:25:11.276 --> 00:25:14.012 align:start line:10% position:25% size:50%
It's going to change
the way they walk.
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:16.848 align:center line:10% position:50% size:75%
It's going to help
with infections on their feet.
00:25:16.915 --> 00:25:19.451 align:start line:10% position:15% size:68%
We've seen so many children
as we've come through.
00:25:19.517 --> 00:25:22.120 align:start line:10% position:20% size:60%
Their feet are infected,
their toes are infected.
00:25:22.187 --> 00:25:24.589 align:start line:10% position:30% size:40%
They've got cuts
on their ankles.
00:25:24.656 --> 00:25:26.691 align:center line:10% position:50% size:35%
And so we need
your help.
00:25:26.758 --> 00:25:30.562 align:start line:10% position:15% size:70%
It takes just a small amount
to help with each child;
00:25:30.629 --> 00:25:35.600 align:center line:10% position:50% size:75%
$3.60 will put a pair of shoes
on each of these kid's feet.
00:25:35.667 --> 00:25:37.936 align:start line:53% position:18% size:63%
So whatever you can give,
maybe it's small,
00:25:38.003 --> 00:25:39.971 align:center line:53% position:50% size:60%
maybe it's great,
but whatever you can do,
00:25:40.038 --> 00:25:42.040 align:center line:53% position:50% size:40%
would you please
help us?
00:25:42.107 --> 00:25:44.075 align:start line:53% position:20% size:58%
Would you go
right now to your phone
00:25:44.142 --> 00:25:46.144 align:center line:53% position:50% size:43%
or online
or write a check?
00:25:46.211 --> 00:25:49.047 align:start line:53% position:20% size:60%
However you give,
would you please help us
give Christmas shoes
00:25:49.114 --> 00:25:52.484 align:center line:10% position:50% size:53%
just as a simple way
of reminding children
00:25:52.550 --> 00:25:55.887 align:center line:10% position:50% size:60%
that God sees them
and that God loves them.
00:25:57.923 --> 00:25:59.124 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
JAMES: You know this
00:25:59.190 --> 00:26:01.693 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
little shoe, it expresses
00:26:01.760 --> 00:26:04.429 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
a lot of love.
00:26:04.496 --> 00:26:05.830 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
We can hang it as
00:26:05.897 --> 00:26:06.932 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
an ornament, and we can
00:26:06.998 --> 00:26:08.400 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
talk about how we got it
00:26:08.466 --> 00:26:09.634 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
and encourage others
00:26:09.701 --> 00:26:11.870 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
to give shoes and smiles.
00:26:11.937 --> 00:26:13.138 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
Thank you so much for
00:26:13.204 --> 00:26:15.540 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
helping us share God's love.
00:26:15.607 --> 00:26:18.209 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
Please don't miss the message
00:26:18.276 --> 00:26:20.345 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
completed tomorrow.
00:26:20.412 --> 00:26:22.180 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
I promise you,
00:26:22.247 --> 00:26:24.449 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
it impacted the church
00:26:24.516 --> 00:26:26.885 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
in an indescribably positive
00:26:26.952 --> 00:26:30.121 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
fashion and it will you,
00:26:30.188 --> 00:26:31.256 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
and I believe the church
00:26:31.323 --> 00:26:32.891 align:start line:58% position:10% size:28%
even again.
00:26:32.958 --> 00:26:33.892 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
