00:00:06.419 --> 00:00:08.599
I<00:00:06.419><c> thought</c><00:00:06.580><c> we</c><00:00:06.679><c> might</c><00:00:06.879><c> have</c><00:00:07.080><c> a</c><00:00:07.099><c> look</c><00:00:07.440><c> tonight</c><00:00:07.839><c> at</c><00:00:08.259><c> something</c>

00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:13.640
that<00:00:09.279><c> obviously</c><00:00:09.960><c> is</c><00:00:10.800><c> pretty</c><00:00:11.119><c> straightforward</c><00:00:11.699><c> on</c><00:00:12.259><c> the</c><00:00:12.460><c> surface</c><00:00:12.679><c> of</c><00:00:12.919><c> it.</c>

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:17.920
We're<00:00:15.699><c> going</c><00:00:15.839><c> to</c><00:00:15.939><c> see</c><00:00:16.179><c> from</c><00:00:16.460><c> Luke</c><00:00:16.719><c> chapter</c><00:00:17.039><c> 11</c><00:00:17.320><c> tonight</c><00:00:17.739><c> that</c>

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.260
it's<00:00:18.300><c> anything</c><00:00:18.660><c> but</c><00:00:19.059><c> straightforward.</c>

00:00:20.859 --> 00:00:24.059
Because<00:00:21.260><c> the</c><00:00:21.579><c> Lord</c><00:00:21.780><c> Jesus</c><00:00:22.179><c> Christ</c><00:00:22.980><c> spins</c><00:00:23.320><c> the</c><00:00:23.620><c> balance</c><00:00:23.859><c> of</c>

00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:51.960
That<00:00:47.840><c> one,</c><00:00:48.460><c> if</c><00:00:48.619><c> you</c><00:00:48.820><c> include</c><00:00:49.320><c> the</c><00:00:50.280><c> three</c><00:00:50.859><c> clauses</c><00:00:51.399><c> of</c><00:00:51.659><c> what's</c>

00:00:56.619 --> 00:00:59.679
So<00:00:56.799><c> it</c><00:00:56.920><c> matches</c><00:00:57.200><c> the</c><00:00:57.439><c> ten</c><00:00:57.619><c> commandments</c><00:00:58.060><c> in</c><00:00:58.299><c> that</c><00:00:58.520><c> sense.</c><00:00:59.479><c> Ten</c>

It's<00:02:25.419><c> regularity,</c><00:02:26.460><c> it's</c><00:02:26.780><c> meaningfulness</c><00:02:28.439><c> that</c><00:02:29.180><c> speaks</c><00:02:29.900><c> volumes,</c><00:02:30.539><c> doesn't</c><00:02:30.939><c> it,</c>

00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:37.189
How<00:02:34.080><c> our</c><00:02:34.360><c> relationship</c><00:02:34.939><c> with</c><00:02:35.120><c> God</c><00:02:35.879><c> really</c><00:02:36.439><c> stands.</c>

00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.879
And<00:02:37.479><c> so</c><00:02:37.699><c> prayer</c><00:02:38.020><c> is</c><00:02:38.280><c> a</c><00:02:38.460><c> vital</c><00:02:38.759><c> element</c><00:02:39.360><c> of</c><00:02:40.039><c> our</c><00:02:40.340><c> service</c><00:02:40.639><c> to</c>

00:02:41.379 --> 00:02:43.719

They'd<00:02:44.319><c> been</c><00:02:44.439><c> watching</c><00:02:44.699><c> him</c><00:02:44.939><c> for</c><00:02:45.120><c> some</c><00:02:45.439><c> time.</c>

You<00:04:46.680><c> know</c><00:04:47.000><c> the</c><00:04:47.300><c> Pharisee,</c><00:04:48.620><c> he</c><00:04:48.819><c> would</c><00:04:49.160><c> deliberately</c><00:04:49.720><c> delay</c><00:04:50.579><c> going</c><00:04:51.279><c> to</c>

00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:52.120
the<00:04:51.660><c> temple</c>

00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:53.720

00:04:53.819 --> 00:04:56.420
Remember<00:04:54.040><c> how</c><00:04:54.360><c> in</c><00:04:54.480><c> Acts</c><00:04:54.680><c> chapter</c><00:04:54.939><c> 3</c><00:04:55.300><c> Peter</c><00:04:55.639><c> and</c><00:04:55.879><c> John</c><00:04:56.060><c> went</c><00:04:56.259><c> up</c>

00:04:59.139 --> 00:05:01.240
Well<00:04:59.199><c> the</c><00:04:59.319><c> Pharisee</c><00:04:59.660><c> would</c><00:04:59.779><c> be</c><00:05:00.000><c> watching</c><00:05:00.300><c> the</c><00:05:00.579><c> sundial.</c>

00:05:01.699 --> 00:05:03.579
And<00:05:01.800><c> he</c><00:05:01.879><c> would</c><00:05:02.100><c> watch</c><00:05:02.319><c> it</c><00:05:02.480><c> get</c><00:05:02.660><c> down</c><00:05:02.879><c> and</c><00:05:03.040><c> he</c><00:05:03.079><c> would</c><00:05:03.300><c> know</c><00:05:03.459><c> he</c>

00:05:03.579 --> 00:05:04.759

So<00:05:06.720><c> he</c><00:05:06.800><c> would</c><00:05:06.980><c> leave</c><00:05:07.120><c> four</c><00:05:07.360><c> minutes</c><00:05:07.939><c> before</c><00:05:09.560><c> the</c><00:05:10.019><c> hour</c><00:05:10.259><c> of</c><00:05:10.439><c> prayer.</c>

00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:14.319
Oh<00:05:11.199><c> and</c><00:05:11.339><c> it</c><00:05:11.579><c> just</c><00:05:11.980><c> so</c><00:05:12.360><c> happened</c><00:05:12.620><c> that</c><00:05:12.879><c> accidentally</c><00:05:13.560><c> he</c><00:05:14.100><c> would</c>

00:05:20.819 --> 00:05:24.439
He<00:05:20.980><c> would</c><00:05:21.139><c> have</c><00:05:21.360><c> to</c><00:05:21.660><c> stop</c><00:05:22.019><c> and</c><00:05:22.420><c> pray</c><00:05:22.920><c> so</c><00:05:23.360><c> that</c><00:05:23.639><c> everybody</c><00:05:24.180><c> that</c>

00:05:38.259 --> 00:05:42.980
This<00:05:38.459><c> is</c><00:05:38.560><c> what</c><00:05:38.680><c> he</c><00:05:38.899><c> says</c><00:05:39.240><c> about</c><00:05:39.639><c> that</c><00:05:40.079><c> kind</c><00:05:40.500><c> of</c><00:05:41.259><c> approach</c><00:05:41.680><c> to</c><00:05:42.019><c> prayer.</c>

in<00:05:48.779><c> themselves.</c>

00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:51.600
It's<00:05:49.620><c> a</c><00:05:49.620><c> very</c><00:05:49.959><c> important</c><00:05:50.379><c> phrase.</c>

00:06:06.779 --> 00:06:08.660
So<00:06:06.899><c> we</c><00:06:06.939><c> have</c><00:06:07.120><c> the</c><00:06:07.360><c> two</c><00:06:07.680><c> classes</c><00:06:08.120><c> here.</c>

00:06:15.100 --> 00:06:17.899
And<00:06:15.139><c> the</c><00:06:15.339><c> Pharisee,</c><00:06:15.759><c> verse</c><00:06:16.019><c> 11,</c><00:06:16.459><c> stood</c><00:06:16.759><c> and</c><00:06:16.920><c> prayed</c><00:06:17.220><c> thus</c>

00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.139

It's<00:07:11.300><c> a</c><00:07:11.379><c> bit</c><00:07:11.579><c> ludicrous,</c><00:07:12.019><c> isn't</c><00:07:12.220><c> it?</c>

00:07:12.980 --> 00:07:15.779

00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.399
Ridiculous,<00:07:17.199><c> but</c><00:07:17.360><c> you</c><00:07:17.519><c> see</c><00:07:17.699><c> the</c><00:07:17.819><c> Lord</c><00:07:18.060><c> is</c><00:07:18.480><c> emphasizing</c><00:07:19.000><c> something</c><00:07:19.439><c> here.</c>

00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:25.399
Did<00:07:23.339><c> you</c><00:07:23.459><c> count</c><00:07:23.740><c> the</c><00:07:23.959><c> personal</c><00:07:24.399><c> pronouns?</c>

00:07:25.500 --> 00:07:26.420
There<00:07:25.699><c> are</c><00:07:25.860><c> five</c><00:07:26.139><c> of</c><00:07:26.259><c> them.</c>

00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.959

00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.360

00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:35.240
And<00:07:32.279><c> six</c><00:07:32.899><c> is</c><00:07:33.300><c> the</c><00:07:33.399><c> number</c><00:07:33.879><c> of</c><00:07:34.199><c> man.</c>

00:07:36.019 --> 00:07:39.860
So<00:07:36.079><c> here</c><00:07:36.420><c> is</c><00:07:36.660><c> the</c><00:07:36.800><c> kind</c><00:07:37.100><c> of</c><00:07:37.339><c> prayer</c><00:07:37.560><c> that</c><00:07:37.740><c> God</c><00:07:38.040><c> repudiates.</c>

00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:42.300
It's<00:07:40.319><c> given</c><00:07:40.680><c> the</c><00:07:41.040><c> public</c><00:07:41.519><c> consumption.</c>

00:07:42.379 --> 00:07:45.839
It's<00:07:42.500><c> not</c><00:07:42.699><c> about</c><00:07:43.120><c> God,</c><00:07:43.759><c> not</c><00:07:43.939><c> about</c><00:07:44.300><c> glorifying</c><00:07:44.879><c> him.</c>

00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.439
It's<00:07:46.399><c> about</c><00:07:46.779><c> glorifying</c><00:07:47.439><c> man.</c>

00:07:48.579 --> 00:07:51.259
But<00:07:48.680><c> look</c><00:07:48.839><c> at</c><00:07:48.980><c> the</c><00:07:49.160><c> contrast</c><00:07:49.639><c> in</c><00:07:49.860><c> verse</c><00:07:50.139><c> 13.</c>

00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:56.000
And<00:07:51.860><c> the</c><00:07:52.120><c> publican,</c><00:07:52.720><c> standing</c><00:07:53.160><c> afar</c><00:07:53.639><c> off,</c><00:07:55.220><c> would</c><00:07:55.399><c> not</c><00:07:55.740><c> lift</c>

00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.100
up<00:07:56.180><c> so</c><00:07:56.519><c> much</c><00:07:56.740><c> as</c><00:07:56.920><c> his</c><00:07:57.120><c> eyes</c><00:07:57.439><c> unto</c><00:07:57.699><c> heaven.</c>

00:07:58.199 --> 00:07:58.920
Why<00:07:58.480><c> not?</c>

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:00.500
Well,<00:07:59.579><c> he</c><00:07:59.639><c> was</c><00:07:59.839><c> embarrassed.</c>

00:08:00.500 --> 00:08:02.139
That's<00:08:01.240><c> why.</c>

00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.519
And<00:08:02.540><c> he</c><00:08:02.600><c> was</c><00:08:02.800><c> embarrassed</c><00:08:03.339><c> because</c><00:08:03.699><c> he</c><00:08:04.040><c> really</c><00:08:04.420><c> believed</c><00:08:04.920><c> that</c><00:08:05.120><c> there</c><00:08:05.240><c> was</c>

00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.120

00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.759
He<00:08:08.560><c> couldn't</c><00:08:08.860><c> lift</c><00:08:09.100><c> his</c><00:08:09.420><c> eyes</c><00:08:09.680><c> to</c><00:08:09.959><c> heaven.</c>

00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.560
So<00:08:11.100><c> where</c><00:08:11.300><c> you've</c><00:08:11.720><c> got</c><00:08:11.959><c> the</c><00:08:12.180><c> Pharisee</c><00:08:12.639><c> praying</c><00:08:12.980><c> towards</c><00:08:13.379><c> himself,</c>

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.180
this<00:08:15.240><c> man</c><00:08:15.480><c> is</c><00:08:15.839><c> so</c><00:08:16.360><c> sensitive</c><00:08:17.079><c> about</c><00:08:17.779><c> the</c><00:08:18.040><c> reality</c><00:08:18.459><c> of</c><00:08:18.800><c> God,</c>

00:08:19.620 --> 00:08:21.819
his<00:08:19.839><c> holiness</c><00:08:20.259><c> and</c><00:08:20.540><c> his</c><00:08:20.839><c> purity,</c>

00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.699
that<00:08:22.540><c> he</c><00:08:22.660><c> can't</c><00:08:22.959><c> even</c><00:08:23.160><c> lift</c><00:08:23.279><c> his</c><00:08:23.560><c> eyes</c><00:08:23.699><c> to</c><00:08:23.920><c> heaven.</c>

00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:27.420
And<00:08:25.920><c> this</c><00:08:26.040><c> is</c><00:08:26.139><c> what</c><00:08:26.279><c> he</c><00:08:26.519><c> says.</c>

Smites<00:08:33.279><c> upon</c><00:08:33.519><c> his</c><00:08:33.799><c> breast.</c>

00:08:34.220 --> 00:08:36.159
It's<00:08:34.279><c> this</c><00:08:34.600><c> body</c><00:08:34.799><c> that's</c><00:08:35.039><c> a</c><00:08:35.179><c> problem.</c>

00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.740
O<00:08:37.700><c> God,</c><00:08:38.340><c> be</c><00:08:38.460><c> merciful</c><00:08:38.919><c> to</c><00:08:39.179><c> me</c><00:08:39.360><c> a</c><00:08:39.539><c> sinner.</c>

Our<00:09:48.899><c> relationship</c><00:09:49.440><c> with</c><00:09:49.639><c> our</c><00:09:49.820><c> God</c><00:09:50.039><c> is</c><00:09:50.200><c> a</c><00:09:50.279><c> relationship</c><00:09:50.860><c> between</c><00:09:51.259><c> him</c>

00:09:51.779 --> 00:09:53.639
and<00:09:52.080><c> ourselves,</c>

00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.659
and<00:09:53.960><c> it's</c><00:09:54.240><c> best</c><00:09:54.639><c> cultivated</c><00:09:55.320><c> in</c><00:09:55.820><c> private.</c>

00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:00.899
But<00:09:57.000><c> there</c><00:09:57.139><c> are</c><00:09:57.419><c> times</c><00:09:57.779><c> when</c><00:09:57.960><c> it's</c><00:09:58.100><c> necessary</c><00:09:58.559><c> for</c><00:09:58.740><c> us</c><00:09:59.019><c> to</c><00:09:59.200><c> pray</c><00:09:59.559><c> in</c><00:09:59.860><c> public.</c>

00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:05.500
Eliezer<00:10:01.399><c> in</c><00:10:01.639><c> Genesis</c><00:10:02.019><c> 24</c><00:10:02.639><c> is</c><00:10:02.860><c> a</c><00:10:02.960><c> classic</c><00:10:03.399><c> example</c><00:10:04.259><c> of</c><00:10:04.480><c> that.</c>

00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:08.220
So<00:10:05.919><c> let's</c><00:10:06.039><c> come</c><00:10:06.200><c> back</c><00:10:06.379><c> and</c><00:10:06.440><c> have</c><00:10:06.600><c> a</c><00:10:06.740><c> look</c><00:10:06.940><c> at</c><00:10:07.159><c> what</c><00:10:07.360><c> he</c><00:10:07.460><c> does</c><00:10:07.740><c> now,</c>

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:12.299
as<00:10:08.679><c> he</c><00:10:09.000><c> educates</c><00:10:09.500><c> his</c><00:10:09.759><c> disciples</c><00:10:10.240><c> in</c><00:10:10.480><c> this</c><00:10:10.779><c> matter</c><00:10:11.039><c> of</c><00:10:11.480><c> prayer.</c>

00:10:12.460 --> 00:10:15.539
He<00:10:12.519><c> says</c><00:10:12.759><c> in</c><00:10:12.879><c> verse</c><00:10:13.100><c> 2,</c><00:10:13.940><c> I</c><00:10:14.019><c> want</c><00:10:14.120><c> you</c><00:10:14.220><c> to</c><00:10:14.340><c> notice</c><00:10:14.600><c> the</c><00:10:15.019><c> language.</c>

00:10:15.700 --> 00:10:17.320
The<00:10:15.860><c> scripture</c><00:10:16.100><c> never</c><00:10:16.440><c> wastes</c><00:10:16.899><c> words.</c>

00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:20.700
We're<00:10:17.919><c> going</c><00:10:18.019><c> to</c><00:10:18.019><c> come</c><00:10:18.320><c> back</c><00:10:18.600><c> to</c><00:10:18.740><c> the</c><00:10:18.879><c> phrase</c><00:10:19.200><c> that</c><00:10:19.399><c> begins</c><00:10:19.700><c> verse</c><00:10:20.059><c> 2</c>

00:10:20.700 --> 00:10:22.799
and<00:10:21.259><c> verse</c><00:10:21.620><c> 5.</c>

00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:27.159
And<00:10:23.320><c> it's</c><00:10:24.379><c> an</c><00:10:24.559><c> interesting</c><00:10:24.919><c> fact</c><00:10:25.279><c> that</c><00:10:25.580><c> when</c><00:10:25.779><c> you</c><00:10:26.019><c> read</c><00:10:26.259><c> through</c><00:10:26.519><c> Luke,</c>

00:10:27.259 --> 00:10:29.299
you<00:10:27.320><c> don't</c><00:10:27.460><c> often</c><00:10:27.740><c> find</c><00:10:28.100><c> this</c><00:10:28.360><c> statement.</c>

00:10:29.539 --> 00:10:31.879
It<00:10:29.539><c> says</c><00:10:29.840><c> here</c><00:10:30.059><c> in</c><00:10:30.200><c> verse</c><00:10:30.360><c> 2,</c><00:10:30.700><c> and</c><00:10:30.799><c> he</c><00:10:30.960><c> said</c><00:10:31.139><c> unto</c><00:10:31.360><c> them,</c><00:10:31.659><c> well</c>

00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:33.659
of<00:10:32.120><c> course</c><00:10:32.500><c> he</c><00:10:32.779><c> said</c><00:10:32.960><c> unto</c><00:10:33.279><c> them.</c>

00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.940
They<00:10:34.120><c> just</c><00:10:34.419><c> asked</c><00:10:34.740><c> him</c><00:10:35.539><c> to</c><00:10:36.120><c> teach</c><00:10:36.419><c> them</c><00:10:36.679><c> how</c><00:10:36.879><c> to</c><00:10:37.179><c> pray.</c>

00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:39.899
So<00:10:38.480><c> why</c><00:10:38.700><c> do</c><00:10:38.820><c> we</c><00:10:38.940><c> need</c><00:10:39.139><c> those</c><00:10:39.440><c> words?</c>

00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:41.700
And<00:10:40.639><c> he</c><00:10:40.840><c> said</c><00:10:41.039><c> unto</c><00:10:41.320><c> them.</c>

00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.159
Why<00:10:42.240><c> in</c><00:10:42.399><c> verse</c><00:10:42.659><c> 5</c><00:10:43.100><c> does</c><00:10:43.299><c> it</c><00:10:43.419><c> say</c><00:10:43.659><c> again?</c>

00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:45.840
And<00:10:44.460><c> he</c><00:10:44.659><c> said</c><00:10:44.919><c> unto</c><00:10:45.159><c> them.</c>

00:10:45.899 --> 00:10:47.600
Well<00:10:46.000><c> we're</c><00:10:46.100><c> going</c><00:10:46.279><c> to</c><00:10:46.299><c> come</c><00:10:46.559><c> back</c><00:10:46.759><c> to</c><00:10:46.799><c> that</c><00:10:46.980><c> in</c><00:10:47.100><c> a</c><00:10:47.240><c> moment.</c>

00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:49.480
We'll<00:10:47.840><c> see</c><00:10:48.059><c> why</c><00:10:48.279><c> that's</c><00:10:48.600><c> there.</c>

00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:53.200
So<00:10:49.960><c> here</c><00:10:50.139><c> we</c><00:10:50.279><c> have</c><00:10:50.460><c> our</c><00:10:50.820><c> prayer</c><00:10:51.019><c> in</c><00:10:51.220><c> verses</c><00:10:51.500><c> 2</c><00:10:52.080><c> to</c><00:10:52.220><c> 4.</c>

00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:57.919
When<00:10:53.720><c> you</c><00:10:54.019><c> pray,</c><00:10:55.139><c> say,</c><00:10:55.799><c> our</c><00:10:56.080><c> Father</c><00:10:56.379><c> which</c><00:10:56.659><c> art</c><00:10:56.820><c> in</c><00:10:57.000><c> heaven.</c>

00:10:58.100 --> 00:11:00.460
Now<00:10:58.240><c> we</c><00:10:58.320><c> know</c><00:10:58.519><c> the</c><00:10:58.679><c> prayer</c><00:10:58.899><c> pretty</c><00:10:59.259><c> well,</c><00:10:59.500><c> don't</c><00:10:59.720><c> we?</c>

00:11:00.779 --> 00:11:05.360
You<00:11:00.919><c> know</c><00:11:01.159><c> that</c><00:11:01.360><c> each</c><00:11:01.759><c> of</c><00:11:01.960><c> these</c><00:11:02.279><c> seven</c><00:11:02.620><c> clauses</c><00:11:03.240><c> that</c><00:11:04.200><c> are</c><00:11:04.419><c> recorded</c><00:11:04.779><c> here</c><00:11:05.200><c> in</c>

00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:06.100
Luke<00:11:05.620><c> 11</c>

00:11:06.100 --> 00:11:10.899
match<00:11:06.860><c> the</c><00:11:07.259><c> meaning</c><00:11:07.759><c> of</c><00:11:08.700><c> the</c><00:11:08.940><c> number</c><00:11:09.419><c> of</c><00:11:10.240><c> their</c><00:11:10.580><c> order?</c>

00:11:10.899 --> 00:11:13.600
So<00:11:11.200><c> I'm</c><00:11:12.399><c> going</c><00:11:12.500><c> to</c><00:11:12.500><c> give</c><00:11:12.620><c> you</c><00:11:12.779><c> a</c><00:11:12.840><c> little</c><00:11:13.019><c> bit</c><00:11:13.259><c> of</c><00:11:13.259><c> a</c><00:11:13.379><c> lesson</c>

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:15.360
about<00:11:14.000><c> Bible</c><00:11:14.379><c> numerics.</c>

00:11:15.700 --> 00:11:19.220
My<00:11:15.759><c> wife</c><00:11:16.039><c> calls</c><00:11:16.320><c> me</c><00:11:16.539><c> brother</c><00:11:16.779><c> numerics,</c><00:11:17.360><c> so</c><00:11:17.519><c> watch</c><00:11:17.820><c> out.</c>

00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:24.899
Now<00:11:19.799><c> Bible</c><00:11:19.980><c> numerics</c><00:11:20.419><c> is</c><00:11:20.860><c> of</c><00:11:20.860><c> course</c><00:11:21.000><c> a</c><00:11:21.179><c> very</c><00:11:21.899><c> interesting</c><00:11:22.759><c> exercise</c><00:11:23.539><c> for</c><00:11:23.679><c> those</c><00:11:23.960><c> who</c><00:11:24.120><c> have</c><00:11:24.200><c> done</c><00:11:24.320><c> any</c><00:11:24.519><c> work</c><00:11:24.759><c> in</c>

00:11:24.899 --> 00:11:26.220
it<00:11:25.080><c> at</c><00:11:25.259><c> all.</c>

00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.960
The<00:11:26.860><c> number</c><00:11:27.159><c> one,</c><00:11:27.840><c> and</c><00:11:27.960><c> we</c><00:11:28.100><c> can</c><00:11:28.279><c> establish</c><00:11:28.620><c> this</c><00:11:28.820><c> from</c><00:11:29.000><c> Genesis</c><00:11:29.340><c> chapter</c><00:11:29.759><c> 1,</c>

00:11:30.019 --> 00:11:32.179
so<00:11:30.100><c> this</c><00:11:30.299><c> is</c><00:11:30.500><c> not</c><00:11:30.639><c> something</c><00:11:30.899><c> that's</c><00:11:31.179><c> debatable.</c>

00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.679
Number<00:11:32.919><c> one,</c><00:11:33.480><c> always</c><00:11:34.299><c> stands</c><00:11:34.899><c> for</c><00:11:35.340><c> God.</c>

00:11:36.179 --> 00:11:39.039
That's<00:11:36.519><c> why</c><00:11:36.840><c> our</c><00:11:37.120><c> Bible</c><00:11:37.500><c> starts</c><00:11:38.039><c> with</c><00:11:38.360><c> these</c><00:11:38.620><c> words.</c>

00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:42.809
In<00:11:40.120><c> the</c><00:11:40.360><c> beginning,</c><00:11:40.980><c> that's</c><00:11:41.700><c> number</c><00:11:41.980><c> one.</c>

00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:49.139
In<00:11:43.259><c> the</c><00:11:43.519><c> beginning,</c><00:11:44.980><c> God</c><00:11:45.460><c> created</c><00:11:46.840><c> the</c><00:11:47.679><c> heavens</c><00:11:48.039><c> and</c><00:11:48.240><c> the</c><00:11:48.399><c> earth.</c>

00:11:49.740 --> 00:11:51.779
So<00:11:49.899><c> one</c><00:11:50.340><c> stands</c><00:11:50.960><c> for</c><00:11:51.360><c> God.</c>

00:11:52.059 --> 00:11:53.539
What<00:11:52.200><c> happened</c><00:11:52.460><c> on</c><00:11:52.639><c> the</c><00:11:52.779><c> first</c><00:11:53.139><c> day?</c>

00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.320
Well<00:11:54.500><c> light</c><00:11:54.879><c> was</c><00:11:55.240><c> brought</c><00:11:55.559><c> to</c><00:11:55.860><c> a</c><00:11:56.000><c> darkened</c><00:11:56.419><c> earth.</c>

00:11:57.500 --> 00:11:58.799
Light,<00:11:58.100><c> what's</c><00:11:58.399><c> that</c><00:11:58.559><c> about?</c>

00:11:59.059 --> 00:12:00.779
Well<00:11:59.320><c> that's</c><00:12:00.080><c> God,</c><00:12:00.559><c> isn't</c><00:12:00.659><c> it?</c>

00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:03.919
He's<00:12:01.039><c> the</c><00:12:01.220><c> source</c><00:12:01.899><c> of</c><00:12:02.519><c> all</c><00:12:02.860><c> life.</c>

00:12:04.019 --> 00:12:07.559
So<00:12:04.480><c> when</c><00:12:04.799><c> you</c><00:12:05.039><c> talk</c><00:12:05.240><c> about</c><00:12:05.580><c> one,</c><00:12:06.559><c> you're</c><00:12:06.639><c> talking</c><00:12:06.860><c> about</c><00:12:07.120><c> God,</c>

00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:12.340
and<00:12:07.779><c> therefore</c><00:12:08.419><c> certainty,</c><00:12:10.240><c> absolute</c><00:12:10.759><c> certainty.</c>

00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:14.320

00:13:36.580 --> 00:13:40.120
Well<00:13:36.639><c> what</c><00:13:36.820><c> happened</c><00:13:37.100><c> on</c><00:13:37.320><c> the</c><00:13:37.539><c> second</c><00:13:37.799><c> day</c><00:13:38.080><c> of</c><00:13:38.240><c> creation,</c><00:13:38.860><c> brothers</c><00:13:38.980><c> and</c><00:13:39.179><c> sisters?</c>

00:13:50.779 --> 00:13:55.679
That's<00:13:51.139><c> because</c><00:13:51.379><c> the</c><00:13:51.559><c> number</c><00:13:51.799><c> two</c><00:13:52.019><c> is</c><00:13:52.240><c> the</c><00:13:52.419><c> number</c><00:13:53.039><c> of</c><00:13:53.360><c> division</c><00:13:53.940><c> or</c><00:13:54.860><c> separation.</c>

You<00:14:57.539><c> got</c><00:14:57.720><c> it</c><00:14:58.340><c> three</c><00:14:58.840><c> times,</c><00:15:00.100><c> and</c><00:15:00.159><c> God</c><00:15:00.419><c> is</c><00:15:00.600><c> telling</c><00:15:00.840><c> you,</c><00:15:01.919><c> three</c>

You<00:15:05.419><c> get</c><00:15:05.620><c> an</c><00:15:05.860><c> outcome,</c><00:15:06.379><c> you</c><00:15:06.460><c> get</c><00:15:06.659><c> a</c><00:15:06.799><c> result.</c>

00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:09.460
Why<00:15:07.620><c> did</c><00:15:07.879><c> God</c><00:15:08.100><c> bring</c><00:15:08.379><c> the</c><00:15:08.580><c> earth</c><00:15:08.720><c> out</c><00:15:08.940><c> of</c><00:15:09.080><c> the</c><00:15:09.240><c> seas?</c>

00:15:09.820 --> 00:15:12.059
Why<00:15:10.080><c> did</c><00:15:10.340><c> He</c><00:15:10.419><c> put</c><00:15:10.639><c> green</c><00:15:11.240><c> verdure</c><00:15:11.740><c> on</c><00:15:11.879><c> it?</c>

00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:13.539
What<00:15:12.379><c> was</c><00:15:12.480><c> He</c><00:15:12.659><c> aiming</c><00:15:12.840><c> to</c><00:15:13.059><c> achieve?</c>

00:15:13.539 --> 00:15:17.059
Well,<00:15:14.759><c> a</c><00:15:14.820><c> result,</c><00:15:16.259><c> fruit.</c>

00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:24.200
And<00:15:17.179><c> what</c><00:15:17.659><c> will</c><00:15:17.980><c> God</c><00:15:18.440><c> achieve</c><00:15:19.240><c> when</c><00:15:20.340><c> His</c><00:15:20.580><c> purpose</c><00:15:21.360><c> is</c><00:15:22.639><c> fulfilled</c><00:15:23.000><c> in</c><00:15:23.179><c> the</c><00:15:23.340><c> earth?</c>

00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:29.360
Well,<00:15:25.179><c> He</c><00:15:25.279><c> will</c><00:15:25.519><c> be</c><00:15:26.299><c> given</c><00:15:26.720><c> all</c><00:15:27.059><c> the</c><00:15:27.200><c> glory</c><00:15:27.500><c> due</c><00:15:27.679><c> to</c><00:15:27.840><c> Him,</c><00:15:28.399><c> number</c><00:15:28.659><c> one.</c>

00:15:29.779 --> 00:15:31.519
His<00:15:30.019><c> name</c><00:15:30.240><c> will</c><00:15:30.460><c> be</c><00:15:30.700><c> hallowed.</c>

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.379
How?

00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:36.980
Because<00:15:32.980><c> His</c><00:15:33.320><c> kingdom</c><00:15:33.740><c> will</c><00:15:34.059><c> have</c><00:15:34.299><c> come,</c><00:15:35.519><c> and</c><00:15:35.759><c> His</c><00:15:36.039><c> will</c><00:15:36.419><c> will</c>

00:15:36.980 --> 00:15:39.620
be<00:15:37.139><c> done</c><00:15:37.259><c> on</c><00:15:37.500><c> earth</c><00:15:38.240><c> as</c><00:15:38.620><c> it</c><00:15:38.740><c> is</c><00:15:38.840><c> done</c><00:15:39.039><c> in</c><00:15:39.240><c> heaven.</c>

00:15:39.620 --> 00:15:43.820
He'll<00:15:40.679><c> get</c><00:15:40.879><c> a</c><00:15:40.980><c> result,</c><00:15:41.720><c> and</c><00:15:42.019><c> He's</c><00:15:42.159><c> not</c><00:15:42.720><c> going</c><00:15:43.139><c> to</c><00:15:43.460><c> fail.</c>

00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:46.580
Now,<00:15:44.379><c> the</c><00:15:44.480><c> fourth</c><00:15:44.720><c> clause</c><00:15:45.019><c> is</c><00:15:45.299><c> that</c><00:15:45.580><c> one,</c><00:15:45.940><c> though</c><00:15:46.019><c> it</c><00:15:46.120><c> will</c><00:15:46.360><c> be</c>

00:15:46.580 --> 00:15:49.500

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.320
What's<00:15:50.240><c> the</c><00:15:50.360><c> number</c><00:15:50.620><c> four</c><00:15:50.860><c> represent</c><00:15:51.419><c> in</c><00:15:51.820><c> the</c><00:15:52.000><c> scheme</c><00:15:52.220><c> of</c><00:15:52.440><c> things?</c>

00:15:53.940 --> 00:15:57.080
Slightly<00:15:54.340><c> more</c><00:15:54.940><c> difficult,</c><00:15:56.019><c> perhaps,</c><00:15:56.179><c> to</c><00:15:56.379><c> ascertain</c><00:15:56.820><c> from</c>

00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:00.200

00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:04.600
Because<00:16:00.799><c> the</c><00:16:01.039><c> fourth</c><00:16:01.279><c> day</c><00:16:01.799><c> saw</c><00:16:02.200><c> the</c><00:16:02.460><c> sun</c><00:16:02.980><c> brought</c><00:16:03.360><c> into</c><00:16:03.779><c> harmony</c><00:16:04.299><c> with</c>

the<00:16:04.779><c> earth.</c>

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:07.899
It<00:16:05.000><c> was</c><00:16:05.220><c> probably</c><00:16:05.580><c> the</c><00:16:05.759><c> source</c><00:16:05.940><c> of</c><00:16:06.179><c> light</c><00:16:06.500><c> on</c><00:16:07.139><c> day</c><00:16:07.440><c> one.</c>

00:16:07.899 --> 00:16:11.720
But<00:16:08.600><c> now</c><00:16:08.879><c> it</c><00:16:08.919><c> was</c><00:16:09.100><c> brought</c><00:16:09.379><c> into</c><00:16:09.779><c> harmony</c><00:16:10.500><c> with</c><00:16:11.200><c> the</c><00:16:11.379><c> earth,</c>

00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.899

00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:21.299
Now<00:20:18.920><c> the</c><00:20:19.039><c> Hebrew</c><00:20:19.400><c> and</c><00:20:19.640><c> the</c><00:20:19.799><c> Greek</c><00:20:19.940><c> language</c><00:20:20.500><c> are</c><00:20:20.880><c> unique</c><00:20:21.160><c> in</c>

this<00:20:21.539><c> respect,</c>

00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:24.880
that<00:20:22.279><c> both</c><00:20:22.599><c> of</c><00:20:22.779><c> them</c><00:20:22.980><c> have</c><00:20:23.279><c> numerical</c><00:20:23.779><c> values</c><00:20:24.220><c> attached</c><00:20:24.680><c> to</c>

00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:29.700
So<00:20:26.279><c> therefore</c><00:20:26.640><c> you</c><00:20:26.799><c> can</c><00:20:27.079><c> arrive</c><00:20:27.660><c> at</c><00:20:28.460><c> numerical</c><00:20:28.980><c> values</c><00:20:29.480><c> for</c>

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:37.579

00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:42.440
Well,<00:20:38.039><c> one</c><00:20:38.180><c> of</c><00:20:38.279><c> the</c><00:20:38.319><c> reasons</c><00:20:38.680><c> was</c><00:20:39.000><c> he</c><00:20:39.140><c> wanted</c><00:20:39.460><c> to</c><00:20:39.720><c> put</c><00:20:40.700><c> underneath</c><00:20:41.339><c> them</c><00:20:41.619><c> a</c><00:20:41.779><c> foundation</c>

00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:46.759
that<00:20:43.460><c> proved</c><00:20:43.859><c> that</c><00:20:44.220><c> this</c><00:20:44.460><c> was</c><00:20:44.660><c> his</c><00:20:44.960><c> inspired</c><00:20:45.680><c> word.</c>

00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:50.160
And<00:20:47.519><c> so</c><00:20:47.720><c> this</c><00:20:47.980><c> pattern</c><00:20:48.440><c> of</c><00:20:48.960><c> sevens</c><00:20:49.579><c> undergirds.</c>

00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:53.420
Now<00:20:50.359><c> if</c><00:20:50.460><c> I</c><00:20:50.599><c> was</c><00:20:50.779><c> to</c><00:20:51.000><c> spend</c><00:20:51.220><c> time</c><00:20:51.599><c> with</c><00:20:51.740><c> you</c><00:20:51.900><c> tonight</c><00:20:52.180><c> talking</c><00:20:52.440><c> about</c><00:20:52.740><c> Genesis</c><00:20:53.099><c> 1</c>

00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:54.279
verse<00:20:53.680><c> 1,</c>

00:20:54.420 --> 00:20:57.880
we'd<00:20:54.559><c> still</c><00:20:54.740><c> be</c><00:20:54.839><c> here</c><00:20:55.000><c> at</c><00:20:55.000><c> ten</c><00:20:55.200><c> o</c><00:20:55.359><c>'clock,</c><00:20:55.960><c> you</c><00:20:56.119><c> would</c><00:20:56.339><c> be</c><00:20:56.539><c> amazed</c><00:20:57.180><c> at</c>

00:20:57.880 --> 00:20:59.180
what's<00:20:58.240><c> there.</c>

00:20:59.380 --> 00:21:02.140
So<00:20:59.700><c> it's</c><00:21:00.140><c> worthwhile</c><00:21:00.579><c> getting</c><00:21:00.920><c> hold</c><00:21:01.240><c> of</c><00:21:01.559><c> a</c><00:21:01.700><c> little</c><00:21:01.839><c> bit</c><00:21:02.000><c> of</c>

00:21:02.140 --> 00:21:04.579
what<00:21:02.400><c> Pannon</c><00:21:02.599><c> wrote</c><00:21:02.960><c> about</c><00:21:03.539><c> Bible</c><00:21:03.839><c> numerology</c>

00:21:04.579 --> 00:21:08.980

00:21:09.140 --> 00:21:14.200
it's<00:21:09.779><c> hurled</c><00:21:10.299><c> together</c><00:21:11.140><c> by</c><00:21:11.500><c> this</c><00:21:11.839><c> pattern</c><00:21:12.380><c> beautifully</c><00:21:13.079><c> woven</c><00:21:13.619><c> like</c>

00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:16.980
a<00:21:14.480><c> tapestry</c><00:21:14.980><c> through</c><00:21:15.259><c> it</c><00:21:15.779><c> of</c><00:21:16.140><c> sevens.</c>

00:21:17.180 --> 00:21:22.039
It's<00:21:17.359><c> just</c><00:21:17.900><c> underscoring</c><00:21:18.779><c> this</c><00:21:19.059><c> simple</c><00:21:19.380><c> fact</c><00:21:19.940><c> that</c><00:21:20.599><c> seven</c><00:21:21.279><c> is</c>

00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:24.460
the<00:21:22.180><c> number</c><00:21:22.819><c> of</c><00:21:23.299><c> the</c><00:21:23.559><c> spirit.</c>

00:21:24.660 --> 00:21:27.400
And<00:21:24.900><c> Christ</c><00:21:25.180><c> is</c><00:21:25.440><c> talking</c><00:21:25.700><c> here</c><00:21:26.000><c> in</c><00:21:26.119><c> this</c><00:21:26.339><c> final</c><00:21:26.700><c> phrase</c><00:21:27.140><c> of</c>

00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.279
the<00:21:27.619><c> prayer</c><00:21:27.880><c> about</c><00:21:28.440><c> spirit</c><00:21:28.960><c> guidance.</c>

00:21:29.380 --> 00:21:31.880
This<00:21:29.539><c> is</c><00:21:29.759><c> how</c><00:21:29.839><c> you're</c><00:21:30.059><c> going</c><00:21:30.160><c> to</c><00:21:30.279><c> avoid</c><00:21:30.559><c> evil,</c><00:21:30.960><c> isn't</c><00:21:31.039><c> it?</c>

00:21:32.019 --> 00:21:34.000
God<00:21:32.240><c> doesn't</c><00:21:32.660><c> lead</c><00:21:32.980><c> people</c><00:21:33.339><c> into</c><00:21:33.559><c> evil.</c>

00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.119
He<00:21:34.599><c> says,</c><00:21:35.359><c> and</c><00:21:35.480><c> lead</c><00:21:35.700><c> us</c><00:21:36.019><c> not</c><00:21:36.240><c> into</c><00:21:36.480><c> temptation.</c>

00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:39.599
How<00:21:37.440><c> do</c><00:21:37.740><c> men</c><00:21:37.900><c> get</c><00:21:38.039><c> into</c><00:21:38.299><c> temptation?</c>

00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:43.640
Well,<00:21:40.180><c> James</c><00:21:40.279><c> chapter</c><00:21:40.680><c> 1</c><00:21:40.900><c> verse</c><00:21:41.180><c> 14</c><00:21:41.579><c> says</c><00:21:42.460><c> that</c><00:21:42.920><c> every</c><00:21:43.200><c> man</c><00:21:43.380><c> is</c>

00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:44.740
tempted<00:21:43.900><c> of</c><00:21:44.059><c> his</c><00:21:44.299><c> own</c><00:21:44.539><c> lust.</c>

00:21:44.900 --> 00:21:46.859
He's<00:21:45.079><c> drawn</c><00:21:45.319><c> away</c><00:21:45.819><c> of</c><00:21:46.180><c> his</c><00:21:46.380><c> own</c><00:21:46.619><c> lust.</c>

00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:51.440
God<00:21:47.200><c> doesn't</c><00:21:47.599><c> do</c><00:21:47.859><c> it,</c><00:21:49.039><c> but</c><00:21:49.160><c> God</c><00:21:49.359><c> can</c><00:21:49.619><c> help</c><00:21:50.039><c> to</c><00:21:50.440><c> overcome</c><00:21:50.799><c> it.</c>

00:21:51.900 --> 00:21:55.059
So<00:21:52.019><c> he's</c><00:21:52.299><c> talking</c><00:21:52.559><c> about</c><00:21:52.880><c> the</c><00:21:53.259><c> intervention</c><00:21:53.839><c> of</c><00:21:54.079><c> God</c><00:21:54.319><c> in</c><00:21:54.519><c> two</c><00:21:54.700><c> ways,</c>

00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.720
by<00:21:55.339><c> the</c><00:21:55.539><c> word</c><00:21:55.940><c> and</c><00:21:56.599><c> through</c><00:21:56.960><c> angelic</c><00:21:57.720><c> supervision.</c>

00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:01.539
That,<00:21:59.359><c> brothers</c><00:21:59.440><c> and</c><00:21:59.680><c> sisters,</c><00:21:59.960><c> is</c><00:22:00.180><c> a</c><00:22:00.299><c> key</c><00:22:00.799><c> to</c><00:22:01.140><c> our</c><00:22:01.339><c> ultimate</c>

success<00:22:02.220><c> in</c><00:22:02.740><c> the</c><00:22:02.960><c> truth.</c>

00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:05.640
So<00:22:04.599><c> here</c><00:22:04.740><c> we've</c><00:22:04.900><c> got</c><00:22:05.099><c> our</c><00:22:05.319><c> prayer.</c>

00:22:05.640 --> 00:22:09.039
Now<00:22:06.339><c> I</c><00:22:06.500><c> want</c><00:22:06.660><c> you</c><00:22:06.759><c> to</c><00:22:06.900><c> notice</c><00:22:07.140><c> a</c><00:22:07.359><c> verse</c><00:22:07.500><c> before</c><00:22:07.819><c> I</c><00:22:08.019><c> start</c><00:22:08.339><c> charging</c><00:22:08.680><c> on.</c>

00:22:09.259 --> 00:22:12.210
I<00:22:09.279><c> want</c><00:22:09.279><c> you</c><00:22:09.400><c> to</c><00:22:09.440><c> come</c><00:22:09.740><c> to</c><00:22:09.839><c> verse</c><00:22:10.240><c> 26</c><00:22:10.940><c> of</c><00:22:11.240><c> Luke</c><00:22:11.480><c> 11.</c>

00:22:12.900 --> 00:22:15.099
Because<00:22:13.019><c> it</c><00:22:13.119><c> says</c><00:22:13.359><c> this,</c><00:22:13.660><c> and</c><00:22:13.779><c> this</c><00:22:13.900><c> is</c><00:22:14.039><c> at</c><00:22:14.160><c> the</c><00:22:14.160><c> end</c><00:22:14.339><c> of</c><00:22:14.440><c> this</c><00:22:14.819><c> parable,</c>

00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:21.119
which<00:22:15.299><c> we'll</c><00:22:15.440><c> come</c><00:22:15.640><c> to</c><00:22:15.759><c> in</c><00:22:15.859><c> a</c><00:22:15.980><c> moment,</c><00:22:17.420><c> about</c><00:22:17.759><c> the</c><00:22:18.039><c> man</c><00:22:18.519><c> walking</c><00:22:18.900><c> through</c><00:22:19.559><c> dry</c><00:22:19.940><c> places.</c>

00:22:21.220 --> 00:22:23.039

00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:25.900
The<00:22:23.720><c> house</c><00:22:24.000><c> he</c><00:22:24.099><c> comes</c><00:22:24.380><c> back</c><00:22:24.740><c> to</c><00:22:24.859><c> is</c><00:22:25.099><c> swept</c><00:22:25.359><c> and</c><00:22:25.640><c> garnished.</c>

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:27.329
There's<00:22:26.119><c> a</c><00:22:26.299><c> vacuum</c><00:22:26.599><c> there.</c>

00:22:27.170 --> 00:22:29.069
It<00:22:27.869><c> says</c><00:22:27.869><c> in</c><00:22:27.950><c> verse</c><00:22:28.109><c> 26,</c>

00:22:40.589 --> 00:22:50.789
I<00:22:41.990><c> wonder</c><00:22:43.390><c> why</c><00:22:45.369><c> the</c><00:22:45.509><c> Lord</c><00:22:45.789><c> says</c><00:22:47.069><c> seven</c><00:22:48.269><c> other</c><00:22:50.269><c> spirits.</c>

00:22:50.789 --> 00:22:53.789
Well,<00:22:51.910><c> because</c><00:22:52.109><c> you</c><00:22:52.269><c> see</c><00:22:52.369><c> he's</c><00:22:52.809><c> contrasting</c><00:22:53.289><c> them</c><00:22:53.369><c> with</c><00:22:53.609><c> the</c>

00:23:15.950 --> 00:23:17.750
It's<00:23:16.250><c> a</c><00:23:16.309><c> way</c><00:23:16.549><c> of</c><00:23:16.769><c> life.</c>

00:23:18.089 --> 00:23:21.630
This<00:23:18.750><c> is</c><00:23:19.049><c> how</c><00:23:19.390><c> the</c><00:23:19.670><c> truth</c><00:23:20.009><c> should</c><00:23:20.390><c> be</c><00:23:20.589><c> lived.</c>

Verse<00:24:03.690><c> five.</c>

You<00:24:26.730><c> didn't</c><00:24:26.730><c> do</c><00:24:26.890><c> much</c><00:24:27.089><c> with</c><00:24:27.289><c> them.</c>

00:24:28.609 --> 00:24:31.390
So<00:24:28.809><c> when</c><00:24:29.069><c> the</c><00:24:29.309><c> sun</c><00:24:29.430><c> went</c><00:24:29.670><c> down</c><00:24:30.089><c> and</c><00:24:30.349><c> all</c><00:24:30.609><c> the</c><00:24:30.769><c> business</c><00:24:31.049><c> of</c><00:24:31.250><c> the</c>

00:24:38.950 --> 00:24:42.930
When<00:24:39.190><c> this</c><00:24:39.589><c> friend</c><00:24:39.990><c> turns</c><00:24:40.549><c> up</c><00:24:40.910><c> and</c><00:24:41.230><c> starts</c><00:24:41.609><c> bashing</c><00:24:42.130><c> on</c><00:24:42.309><c> their</c><00:24:42.589><c> door.</c>

there's<00:27:44.410><c> a</c><00:27:44.549><c> God</c><00:27:44.710><c> there</c><00:27:44.910><c> who</c><00:27:45.089><c> wants</c><00:27:45.349><c> to</c><00:27:45.569><c> hear</c><00:27:45.750><c> from</c><00:27:46.049><c> me.</c>

00:27:47.430 --> 00:27:52.849
He<00:27:47.950><c> wants</c><00:27:48.250><c> me</c><00:27:48.529><c> to</c><00:27:48.690><c> ask,</c><00:27:49.289><c> and</c><00:27:49.390><c> to</c><00:27:49.630><c> seek,</c><00:27:50.609><c> and</c><00:27:50.769><c> to</c><00:27:50.990><c> repeatedly</c><00:27:51.410><c> knock,</c><00:27:52.529><c> and</c><00:27:52.670><c> I</c>

00:27:52.849 --> 00:27:54.250
don't<00:27:53.109><c> do</c><00:27:53.289><c> enough</c><00:27:53.549><c> of</c><00:27:53.690><c> it.</c>

00:27:54.410 --> 00:27:56.369
Is<00:27:54.529><c> anybody</c><00:27:54.910><c> here</c><00:27:55.210><c> that's</c><00:27:55.410><c> prepared</c><00:27:55.609><c> to</c><00:27:55.730><c> put</c><00:27:55.849><c> down</c><00:27:56.069><c> and</c><00:27:56.250><c> say</c>

00:27:56.369 --> 00:27:57.170
that<00:27:56.529><c> they</c><00:27:56.690><c> do?</c>

00:27:57.430 --> 00:27:58.890
Probably<00:27:57.829><c> not.</c>

00:27:59.390 --> 00:28:02.329
So<00:27:59.670><c> all</c><00:27:59.930><c> of</c><00:28:00.029><c> us</c><00:28:00.250><c> need</c><00:28:00.690><c> to</c><00:28:00.930><c> learn</c><00:28:01.130><c> this</c><00:28:01.390><c> lesson.</c>

00:28:02.410 --> 00:28:05.289
So<00:28:02.769><c> much</c><00:28:03.130><c> the</c><00:28:03.349><c> more</c><00:28:03.589><c> as</c><00:28:03.769><c> we</c><00:28:03.970><c> see</c><00:28:04.190><c> the</c><00:28:04.349><c> day</c><00:28:04.569><c> approaching</c><00:28:05.029><c> when</c>

00:28:05.289 --> 00:28:07.930
the<00:28:05.549><c> world</c><00:28:05.730><c> is</c><00:28:06.049><c> creeping</c><00:28:06.329><c> in</c><00:28:06.650><c> in</c><00:28:06.789><c> so</c><00:28:06.950><c> many</c><00:28:07.130><c> ways</c><00:28:07.430><c> into</c><00:28:07.609><c> our</c>

00:28:07.930 --> 00:28:08.750
individual<00:28:08.490><c> lives,</c>

00:28:08.910 --> 00:28:11.329
we<00:28:09.069><c> leave</c><00:28:09.069><c> alone</c><00:28:09.269><c> our</c><00:28:09.450><c> families</c><00:28:09.769><c> and</c><00:28:09.990><c> our</c><00:28:10.150><c> ecclesias.</c>

00:28:12.230 --> 00:28:15.089
We<00:28:12.569><c> need,</c><00:28:13.269><c> we</c><00:28:13.750><c> desperately</c><00:28:14.210><c> need</c><00:28:14.630><c> prayer.</c>

00:28:15.089 --> 00:28:17.829
That's<00:28:15.549><c> why</c><00:28:15.789><c> Luke</c><00:28:16.029><c> 18</c><00:28:16.329><c> is</c><00:28:16.450><c> there.</c><00:28:16.670><c> When</c><00:28:16.789><c> you</c><00:28:16.930><c> come</c><00:28:17.130><c> to</c><00:28:17.289><c> read</c><00:28:17.450><c> that</c><00:28:17.690><c> in</c>

00:28:17.829 --> 00:28:19.569
your<00:28:17.990><c> own</c><00:28:18.250><c> time,</c><00:28:18.529><c> you'll</c><00:28:18.750><c> see.</c>

00:28:19.809 --> 00:28:23.089
The<00:28:19.930><c> Lord</c><00:28:20.490><c> in</c><00:28:20.990><c> Luke</c><00:28:21.329><c> 18</c><00:28:21.930><c> speaks</c><00:28:22.329><c> another</c><00:28:22.670><c> parallel.</c>

00:28:23.529 --> 00:28:30.049
In<00:28:23.650><c> the</c><00:28:24.029><c> wake</c><00:28:24.309><c> of</c><00:28:24.690><c> his</c><00:28:24.930><c> warning</c><00:28:25.329><c> about,</c><00:28:26.730><c> remember,</c><00:28:27.109><c> Lot's</c><00:28:27.410><c> wife,</c><00:28:28.930><c> what's</c><00:28:29.890><c> the</c>

00:28:30.049 --> 00:28:32.109
antidote<00:28:30.569><c> to</c><00:28:30.750><c> these</c><00:28:31.049><c> challenging</c><00:28:31.529><c> times</c>

00:28:32.109 --> 00:28:35.390
when<00:28:33.130><c> the</c><00:28:33.309><c> world</c><00:28:33.490><c> is</c><00:28:33.829><c> insinuating</c><00:28:34.390><c> itself</c><00:28:34.809><c> into</c><00:28:35.029><c> the</c><00:28:35.089><c> lives</c>

00:28:35.390 --> 00:28:36.910
of<00:28:35.569><c> Christendelfians?</c>

00:28:38.069 --> 00:28:40.210
Well,<00:28:38.309><c> the</c><00:28:38.349><c> answer</c><00:28:38.690><c> is</c><00:28:38.970><c> prayer.</c><00:28:39.869><c> Why?</c>

00:28:40.670 --> 00:28:43.269
Well,<00:28:40.950><c> because</c><00:28:41.230><c> prayer</c><00:28:41.470><c> bespeaks</c><00:28:41.910><c> a</c><00:28:42.089><c> relationship</c><00:28:42.650><c> with</c><00:28:42.829><c> God.</c>

00:28:43.269 --> 00:28:46.690
And<00:28:44.369><c> that</c><00:28:44.650><c> relationship</c><00:28:45.130><c> is</c><00:28:45.410><c> two</c><00:28:45.650><c>-way.</c>

00:28:47.289 --> 00:28:49.890
We<00:28:47.490><c> pray</c><00:28:47.990><c> because</c><00:28:48.549><c> we've</c><00:28:48.869><c> been</c><00:28:49.029><c> reading</c><00:28:49.289><c> his</c><00:28:49.609><c> word.</c>

00:28:49.930 --> 00:28:55.809
He's<00:28:50.490><c> been</c><00:28:50.789><c> speaking</c><00:28:51.490><c> to</c><00:28:51.789><c> us,</c><00:28:53.849><c> and</c><00:28:53.910><c> we</c><00:28:54.230><c> know</c><00:28:54.789><c> what</c><00:28:55.410><c> he</c><00:28:55.569><c> wants</c>

00:28:55.809 --> 00:28:56.890
from<00:28:56.029><c> us.</c>

00:28:57.210 --> 00:29:02.029
So<00:28:57.410><c> we</c><00:28:57.829><c> speak</c><00:28:58.210><c> back</c><00:28:58.569><c> to</c><00:28:58.769><c> him</c><00:28:59.410><c> and</c><00:29:00.269><c> seek</c><00:29:00.569><c> the</c><00:29:00.769><c> help</c><00:29:00.990><c> that</c><00:29:01.170><c> is</c><00:29:01.289><c> necessary</c><00:29:01.769><c> to</c>

00:29:02.029 --> 00:29:05.210
overcome<00:29:02.529><c> a</c><00:29:03.309><c> very</c><00:29:03.730><c> evil</c><00:29:04.069><c> time.</c>

00:29:05.829 --> 00:29:11.109
We<00:29:05.910><c> are</c><00:29:06.109><c> the</c><00:29:06.250><c> most</c><00:29:06.549><c> challenged</c><00:29:07.250><c> generation</c><00:29:08.130><c> of</c><00:29:08.549><c> Christendelfians</c><00:29:09.349><c> in</c><00:29:09.829><c> human</c><00:29:10.450><c> history.</c>

00:29:11.109 --> 00:29:14.910
If<00:29:11.630><c> we</c><00:29:11.829><c> don't</c><00:29:12.109><c> know</c><00:29:12.369><c> that</c><00:29:12.690><c> now,</c><00:29:13.750><c> we</c><00:29:13.769><c> will</c><00:29:14.069><c> certainly</c><00:29:14.349><c> know</c><00:29:14.589><c> it</c>

00:29:14.910 --> 00:29:17.349
at<00:29:15.130><c> the</c><00:29:15.329><c> judgment</c><00:29:15.690><c> seat</c><00:29:16.130><c> of</c><00:29:16.529><c> Christ.</c>

00:29:17.910 --> 00:29:23.750
We<00:29:18.150><c> desperately</c><00:29:18.650><c> need</c><00:29:19.150><c> to</c><00:29:19.950><c> be</c><00:29:20.069><c> more</c><00:29:20.670><c> importunate,</c><00:29:21.910><c> more</c><00:29:22.269><c> persistent</c><00:29:22.869><c> in</c>

00:29:23.750 --> 00:29:25.690
this<00:29:24.089><c> matter</c><00:29:24.410><c> of</c><00:29:24.849><c> prayer.</c>

00:29:27.190 --> 00:29:31.150
So<00:29:27.289><c> he</c><00:29:27.369><c> goes</c><00:29:27.529><c> on</c><00:29:27.769><c> to</c><00:29:27.950><c> say</c><00:29:28.109><c> in</c><00:29:28.230><c> verse</c><00:29:28.490><c> 10,</c><00:29:28.990><c> sorry,</c><00:29:29.509><c> verse,</c><00:29:31.029><c> you</c>

00:29:31.150 --> 00:29:32.029
will<00:29:31.369><c> read</c><00:29:31.490><c> verse</c><00:29:31.769><c> 10.</c>

00:29:32.130 --> 00:29:35.390
For<00:29:32.190><c> everyone</c><00:29:32.609><c> that</c><00:29:32.890><c> asketh,</c><00:29:33.329><c> receiveth,</c><00:29:33.829><c> and</c><00:29:33.990><c> he</c><00:29:34.150><c> that</c><00:29:34.390><c> seeketh,</c><00:29:34.970><c> findeth,</c><00:29:35.250><c> and</c>

00:29:35.390 --> 00:29:37.269
to<00:29:35.529><c> him</c><00:29:35.710><c> that</c><00:29:35.990><c> knocketh,</c><00:29:36.390><c> it</c><00:29:36.670><c> shall</c><00:29:36.890><c> be</c><00:29:37.150><c> opened.</c>

00:29:37.269 --> 00:29:39.289
So<00:29:37.450><c> there's</c><00:29:37.630><c> an</c><00:29:37.869><c> assurance</c><00:29:38.250><c> there.</c><00:29:38.470><c> He's</c><00:29:38.670><c> going</c><00:29:38.809><c> to</c><00:29:38.910><c> build</c><00:29:39.089><c> on</c>

00:29:39.289 --> 00:29:43.269
that<00:29:39.470><c> assurance</c><00:29:39.829><c> in</c><00:29:40.029><c> verses</c><00:29:40.349><c> 11</c><00:29:41.029><c> through</c><00:29:41.630><c> 13.</c>

00:29:43.670 --> 00:29:47.670
And<00:29:43.869><c> another</c><00:29:44.069><c> little</c><00:29:44.450><c> parable,</c><00:29:44.970><c> another</c><00:29:45.170><c> just</c><00:29:46.190><c> a</c><00:29:46.730><c> story.</c>

00:29:48.089 --> 00:29:52.069
He<00:29:48.230><c> wants</c><00:29:48.450><c> us</c><00:29:48.670><c> to</c><00:29:48.990><c> imagine</c><00:29:49.470><c> this</c><00:29:49.910><c> so</c><00:29:50.130><c> that</c><00:29:50.269><c> we</c><00:29:50.369><c> can</c><00:29:50.710><c> see</c><00:29:50.910><c> the</c><00:29:51.150><c> power</c><00:29:51.390><c> of</c><00:29:51.589><c> it.</c>

00:29:52.470 --> 00:29:55.970
If<00:29:52.609><c> a</c><00:29:52.849><c> son</c><00:29:53.069><c> shall</c><00:29:53.269><c> ask</c><00:29:53.589><c> bread</c><00:29:53.829><c> of</c><00:29:53.930><c> any</c><00:29:54.170><c> of</c><00:29:54.289><c> you</c><00:29:54.369><c> that</c><00:29:54.490><c> is</c><00:29:54.650><c> a</c><00:29:54.910><c> father,</c><00:29:55.890><c> will</c>

00:29:57.029 --> 00:29:59.230
Now<00:29:57.230><c> we</c><00:29:57.289><c> know</c><00:29:57.490><c> from</c><00:29:57.670><c> the</c><00:29:57.809><c> Lord's</c><00:29:58.130><c> temptation</c><00:29:58.569><c> that</c><00:29:58.809><c> in</c><00:29:58.930><c> those</c>

00:30:02.430 --> 00:30:07.569
You<00:30:02.869><c> can</c><00:30:03.109><c> make</c><00:30:03.589><c> these</c><00:30:04.910><c> stones</c><00:30:05.309><c> bread,</c><00:30:06.069><c> said</c><00:30:06.269><c> the</c><00:30:06.549><c> tempter.</c>

00:30:07.769 --> 00:30:11.109

00:32:49.950 --> 00:32:58.670
It<00:32:50.069><c> says</c><00:32:50.670><c> in</c><00:32:51.130><c> the</c><00:32:51.369><c> dialogue,</c><00:32:52.710><c> a</c><00:32:52.849><c> spirit</c><00:32:53.549><c> of</c><00:32:54.210><c> holy,</c><00:32:55.349><c> or</c><00:32:55.829><c> a</c><00:32:56.130><c> disposition</c><00:32:56.990><c> of</c><00:32:57.829><c> separateness.</c>

00:32:59.109 --> 00:33:02.029

00:33:02.309 --> 00:33:03.789
I<00:33:02.529><c> could</c><00:33:02.670><c> just</c><00:33:02.869><c> be</c><00:33:03.069><c> telling</c><00:33:03.269><c> you</c><00:33:03.509><c> that.</c>

00:33:03.890 --> 00:33:06.150

00:33:07.990 --> 00:33:13.150

00:33:17.829 --> 00:33:21.309
and<00:33:17.910><c> he</c><00:33:18.130><c> shall</c><00:33:18.269><c> go</c><00:33:18.589><c> before</c><00:33:18.910><c> him</c><00:33:19.109><c> in</c><00:33:19.410><c> the</c><00:33:20.069><c> spirit,</c><00:33:20.650><c> what's</c><00:33:21.049><c> the</c>

00:33:23.349 --> 00:33:26.230
The<00:33:23.690><c> true</c><00:33:24.269><c> spirit</c><00:33:25.289><c> of</c><00:33:25.970><c> Elijah.</c>

00:33:26.329 --> 00:33:28.549
Well<00:33:26.589><c> a</c><00:33:26.730><c> spirit</c><00:33:27.109><c> is</c><00:33:27.470><c> an</c><00:33:27.630><c> attitude</c><00:33:28.029><c> of</c><00:33:28.430><c> mind.</c>

00:33:28.690 --> 00:33:31.869
It's<00:33:29.049><c> a</c><00:33:29.190><c> disposition</c><00:33:29.890><c> of</c><00:33:30.910><c> mind.</c>

00:33:32.029 --> 00:33:34.890
He<00:33:32.329><c> shall</c><00:33:32.750><c> go</c><00:33:33.170><c> forth</c><00:33:33.490><c> in</c><00:33:33.650><c> the</c><00:33:33.970><c> spirit</c><00:33:34.269><c> and</c><00:33:34.630><c> parable,</c>

00:33:34.890 --> 00:33:38.269

00:33:38.289 --> 00:33:40.170
and<00:33:38.349><c> the</c><00:33:38.529><c> disobedient</c><00:33:39.029><c> to</c><00:33:39.150><c> the</c><00:33:39.309><c> wisdom</c><00:33:39.490><c> of</c><00:33:39.730><c> the</c><00:33:39.869><c> just,</c>

00:33:43.170 --> 00:33:46.390
Now<00:33:43.210><c> Brother</c><00:33:43.410><c> Thomas</c><00:33:43.829><c> translates</c><00:33:44.430><c> that,</c><00:33:45.349><c> or</c><00:33:45.349><c> portion</c><00:33:45.609><c> of</c><00:33:45.829><c> verse</c><00:33:45.990><c> 17,</c>

00:33:46.569 --> 00:33:47.269
this<00:33:46.829><c> way.</c>

00:33:47.750 --> 00:33:52.950
To<00:33:47.950><c> restore</c><00:33:48.690><c> to</c><00:33:48.930><c> the</c><00:33:49.009><c> posterity</c><00:33:50.430><c> the</c><00:33:51.009><c> father's</c><00:33:51.990><c> dispositions,</c>

00:33:53.390 --> 00:33:58.609
and<00:33:53.750><c> disobedient</c><00:33:54.450><c> ones</c><00:33:54.750><c> to</c><00:33:55.029><c> just</c><00:33:55.609><c> persons'</c><00:33:56.750><c> mode</c><00:33:57.269><c> of</c><00:33:57.769><c> thinking.</c>

00:33:58.769 --> 00:34:03.710
So<00:33:59.190><c> the</c><00:33:59.549><c> context</c><00:34:00.089><c> is</c><00:34:00.490><c> about</c><00:34:00.930><c> developing</c><00:34:01.470><c> in</c><00:34:01.910><c> others</c><00:34:02.250><c> a</c><00:34:02.829><c> spirit</c>

00:34:03.710 --> 00:34:05.589
of<00:34:04.549><c> holiness.</c>

00:34:06.009 --> 00:34:08.029
That's<00:34:06.369><c> what</c><00:34:06.650><c> John</c><00:34:07.029><c> had.</c>

00:34:09.010 --> 00:34:12.750
He<00:34:09.110><c> was</c><00:34:09.550><c> totally</c><00:34:10.190><c> dedicated</c><00:34:10.989><c> to</c><00:34:11.329><c> one</c><00:34:11.710><c> cause.</c>

00:34:13.849 --> 00:34:16.030
His<00:34:14.050><c> parents</c><00:34:14.449><c> died</c><00:34:14.750><c> while</c><00:34:14.849><c> he</c><00:34:14.989><c> was</c><00:34:15.250><c> young.</c>

00:34:16.090 --> 00:34:17.250
He<00:34:16.269><c> lived</c><00:34:16.530><c> in</c><00:34:16.710><c> the</c><00:34:16.869><c> desert.</c>

00:34:17.630 --> 00:34:20.090
He<00:34:17.730><c> ate</c><00:34:18.010><c> locusts</c><00:34:18.829><c> and</c><00:34:19.070><c> honey.</c>

00:34:20.750 --> 00:34:24.489
He<00:34:20.869><c> was</c><00:34:21.289><c> dedicated</c><00:34:21.949><c> to</c><00:34:22.449><c> one</c><00:34:23.210><c> cause.</c>

00:34:25.090 --> 00:34:27.889
Absolutely<00:34:25.530><c> free</c><00:34:25.969><c> of</c><00:34:26.130><c> hypocrisy.</c>

00:34:28.309 --> 00:34:33.050
This<00:34:28.409><c> was</c><00:34:28.650><c> a</c><00:34:28.710><c> man</c><00:34:29.250><c> who</c><00:34:29.570><c> had</c><00:34:29.809><c> a</c><00:34:30.630><c> holy</c><00:34:31.349><c> spirit.</c>

00:34:33.610 --> 00:34:36.570
An<00:34:33.809><c> attitude</c><00:34:34.269><c> of</c><00:34:34.929><c> separateness</c><00:34:35.449><c> to</c><00:34:35.590><c> God.</c>

00:34:37.090 --> 00:34:38.429
That's<00:34:37.530><c> what</c><00:34:37.710><c> this</c><00:34:37.929><c> is</c><00:34:38.090><c> about.</c>

00:34:38.869 --> 00:34:40.610
So<00:34:38.909><c> when</c><00:34:39.030><c> you</c><00:34:39.150><c> come</c><00:34:39.389><c> back</c><00:34:39.550><c> to</c><00:34:39.690><c> Luke</c><00:34:39.809><c> chapter</c><00:34:40.170><c> 11,</c>

00:34:40.909 --> 00:34:43.309
you<00:34:40.949><c> know</c><00:34:41.050><c> what</c><00:34:41.170><c> the</c><00:34:41.250><c> Lord's</c><00:34:41.670><c> saying</c><00:34:41.809><c> here</c><00:34:42.030><c> brothers</c><00:34:42.250><c> and</c><00:34:42.510><c> sisters?</c>

00:34:43.530 --> 00:34:46.110
He's<00:34:43.969><c> saying</c><00:34:44.090><c> that</c><00:34:44.309><c> at</c><00:34:44.429><c> the</c><00:34:44.530><c> head</c><00:34:44.690><c> of</c><00:34:44.889><c> our</c><00:34:45.170><c> prayers</c><00:34:45.530><c> should</c><00:34:45.909><c> be</c>

00:34:46.110 --> 00:34:46.730
this<00:34:46.309><c> principle.</c>

00:34:47.110 --> 00:34:48.269
Let<00:34:47.269><c> me</c><00:34:47.429><c> ask</c><00:34:47.650><c> you</c><00:34:47.849><c> again.</c>

00:34:48.730 --> 00:34:50.289
I<00:34:48.829><c> don't</c><00:34:48.929><c> want</c><00:34:49.010><c> to</c><00:34:49.090><c> make</c><00:34:49.150><c> you</c><00:34:49.349><c> feel</c><00:34:49.489><c> uncomfortable</c><00:34:50.010><c> because</c>

00:34:50.289 --> 00:34:51.250
it's<00:34:50.489><c> not</c><00:34:50.650><c> my</c><00:34:50.949><c> words.</c>

00:34:51.369 --> 00:34:52.329
It's<00:34:51.630><c> his</c><00:34:51.849><c> words.</c>

00:34:52.329 --> 00:34:55.269
So<00:34:53.469><c> it's</c><00:34:54.070><c> coming</c><00:34:54.389><c> from</c><00:34:54.630><c> him.</c>

00:34:55.590 --> 00:34:59.690
He's<00:34:55.969><c> saying</c><00:34:56.070><c> that</c><00:34:56.269><c> the</c><00:34:56.389><c> head</c><00:34:56.570><c> of</c><00:34:56.730><c> our</c><00:34:57.010><c> prayers</c><00:34:57.349><c> should</c><00:34:58.090><c> be</c><00:34:59.389><c> a</c>

00:34:59.690 --> 00:35:01.610
plea<00:35:00.130><c> to</c><00:35:00.829><c> our</c><00:35:01.170><c> God</c>

00:35:01.610 --> 00:35:09.730
for<00:35:02.750><c> a</c><00:35:03.289><c> spirit</c><00:35:04.050><c> of</c><00:35:05.110><c> holiness</c><00:35:05.630><c> or</c><00:35:06.969><c> separation</c><00:35:07.730><c> from</c><00:35:08.489><c> the</c><00:35:08.769><c> world.</c>

00:35:10.170 --> 00:35:11.389

We'll<00:37:51.210><c> look</c><00:37:51.349><c> at</c><00:37:51.429><c> verse</c><00:37:51.670><c> 14.</c>

00:37:52.250 --> 00:37:57.869
And<00:37:53.349><c> he</c><00:37:53.449><c> was</c><00:37:53.710><c> casting</c><00:37:54.050><c> out</c><00:37:54.449><c> a</c><00:37:54.550><c> demon</c><00:37:54.949><c> and</c><00:37:56.530><c> it</c><00:37:56.630><c> was</c><00:37:56.989><c> dumb.</c>

00:37:58.590 --> 00:38:02.610
Now<00:37:58.829><c> people</c><00:37:59.210><c> are</c><00:37:59.510><c> dumb</c><00:38:00.010><c> because</c><00:38:00.550><c> they</c><00:38:00.769><c> can't</c><00:38:01.610><c> hear.</c>

00:38:04.150 --> 00:38:08.849
If<00:38:04.289><c> you</c><00:38:04.570><c> are</c><00:38:05.010><c> dumb,</c><00:38:05.710><c> it's</c><00:38:05.809><c> because</c><00:38:06.269><c> you</c><00:38:06.409><c> were</c><00:38:06.690><c> born</c><00:38:07.170><c> deaf</c><00:38:07.809><c> and</c>

00:38:08.849 --> 00:38:09.849
you<00:38:09.070><c> never</c><00:38:09.449><c> learned,</c>

00:38:10.150 --> 00:38:12.969
because<00:38:10.530><c> you</c><00:38:10.630><c> couldn't</c><00:38:11.190><c> listen</c><00:38:11.530><c> to</c><00:38:11.769><c> anyone</c><00:38:12.070><c> speak,</c><00:38:12.949><c> you</c>

00:38:12.969 --> 00:38:15.050
never<00:38:13.309><c> learned</c><00:38:13.789><c> phonetics.</c>

00:38:15.449 --> 00:38:16.670
That's<00:38:15.690><c> the</c><00:38:15.829><c> problem.</c>

00:38:16.730 --> 00:38:18.969
You<00:38:16.909><c> can't</c><00:38:17.250><c> speak</c><00:38:17.469><c> because</c><00:38:17.750><c> you</c><00:38:17.889><c> don't</c><00:38:18.110><c> know</c><00:38:18.230><c> how</c><00:38:18.309><c> to</c><00:38:18.469><c> form</c><00:38:18.650><c> words.</c>

00:38:18.969 --> 00:38:22.989
You<00:38:19.349><c> form</c><00:38:19.429><c> words</c><00:38:19.969><c> as</c><00:38:20.269><c> a</c><00:38:20.349><c> child</c><00:38:20.889><c> by</c><00:38:21.210><c> listening</c><00:38:21.789><c> to</c><00:38:21.969><c> what</c><00:38:22.110><c> you</c><00:38:22.289><c> hear.</c>

00:38:23.449 --> 00:38:25.230
And<00:38:23.449><c> there's</c><00:38:23.670><c> a</c><00:38:23.869><c> spiritual</c><00:38:24.190><c> principle</c><00:38:24.590><c> involved.</c>

00:38:25.590 --> 00:38:30.230
Brothers<00:38:25.809><c> and</c><00:38:26.090><c> sisters,</c><00:38:26.769><c> I</c><00:38:27.010><c> was</c><00:38:27.269><c> born</c><00:38:27.750><c> with</c><00:38:28.429><c> a</c><00:38:28.590><c> vacant</c><00:38:28.989><c> mind.</c>

00:38:30.409 --> 00:38:32.530
There<00:38:30.510><c> are</c><00:38:30.630><c> those</c><00:38:30.869><c> who</c><00:38:31.070><c> suggest</c><00:38:31.389><c> it's</c><00:38:31.610><c> still</c><00:38:31.769><c> not</c><00:38:31.969><c> much</c><00:38:32.150><c> better.</c>

00:38:33.030 --> 00:38:39.469
But<00:38:33.570><c> I</c><00:38:34.610><c> was</c><00:38:34.849><c> born,</c><00:38:35.190><c> and</c><00:38:35.550><c> so</c><00:38:35.789><c> were</c><00:38:35.949><c> you,</c><00:38:37.010><c> with</c><00:38:37.230><c> a</c><00:38:37.449><c> vacant</c><00:38:38.250><c> mind.</c>

00:38:39.969 --> 00:38:43.389
Nothing<00:38:40.429><c> was</c><00:38:40.989><c> in</c><00:38:41.150><c> it</c><00:38:41.449><c> except</c><00:38:41.869><c> that</c><00:38:42.150><c> which</c><00:38:42.269><c> is</c><00:38:42.590><c> generated</c><00:38:42.969><c> by</c>

00:38:43.389 --> 00:38:46.690
serpent<00:38:43.690><c> thinking,</c><00:38:45.090><c> which</c><00:38:45.230><c> is</c><00:38:45.369><c> all</c><00:38:45.550><c> about</c><00:38:45.829><c> self.</c>

00:38:47.530 --> 00:38:50.730
But<00:38:48.050><c> as</c><00:38:48.329><c> I</c><00:38:48.489><c> was</c><00:38:48.710><c> brought</c><00:38:48.889><c> up</c><00:38:49.150><c> and</c><00:38:49.329><c> educated,</c><00:38:49.730><c> fortunately,</c><00:38:50.610><c> in</c>

00:38:50.730 --> 00:38:52.630
a<00:38:50.829><c> Christadelphian</c><00:38:51.429><c> family,</c>

00:38:53.369 --> 00:38:57.409
things<00:38:53.409><c> were</c><00:38:53.610><c> put</c><00:38:53.829><c> in</c><00:38:54.010><c> there</c><00:38:54.349><c> which</c><00:38:55.630><c> began</c><00:38:56.010><c> to</c><00:38:56.250><c> develop</c><00:38:56.530><c> the</c><00:38:56.670><c> way</c><00:38:56.949><c> that</c><00:38:57.170><c> I</c>

00:38:57.409 --> 00:38:59.909
thought<00:38:57.829><c> and</c><00:38:58.389><c> the</c><00:38:58.469><c> way</c><00:38:58.650><c> that</c><00:38:58.829><c> I</c><00:38:58.989><c> acted.</c>

00:39:00.630 --> 00:39:02.809
So<00:39:00.829><c> I</c><00:39:00.909><c> wasn't</c><00:39:01.869><c> dumb.</c>

00:39:02.969 --> 00:39:05.010
I<00:39:03.250><c> could</c><00:39:03.570><c> speak</c><00:39:03.869><c> because</c><00:39:04.110><c> I</c><00:39:04.289><c> was</c><00:39:04.409><c> being</c><00:39:04.650><c> educated.</c>

00:39:05.130 --> 00:39:06.909
So<00:39:05.389><c> here</c><00:39:05.650><c> is</c><00:39:05.809><c> the</c><00:39:05.989><c> Lord.</c>

00:39:07.329 --> 00:39:08.409
He<00:39:07.530><c> comes</c><00:39:07.889><c> now.</c>

00:39:08.590 --> 00:39:11.469
He<00:39:08.730><c> confronts</c><00:39:10.590><c> demons.</c>

00:39:12.309 --> 00:39:13.289
And<00:39:12.409><c> it</c><00:39:12.510><c> was</c><00:39:12.849><c> dumb.</c>

00:39:13.289 --> 00:39:17.030
And<00:39:13.909><c> it</c><00:39:14.110><c> came</c><00:39:14.329><c> to</c><00:39:14.510><c> pass</c><00:39:14.730><c> when</c><00:39:14.909><c> the</c><00:39:15.150><c> demon</c><00:39:15.389><c> was</c><00:39:15.610><c> going</c><00:39:15.750><c> out,</c><00:39:16.849><c> the</c>

00:39:17.030 --> 00:39:20.110
dumb<00:39:17.250><c> spoke,</c><00:39:18.809><c> and</c><00:39:19.170><c> the</c><00:39:19.309><c> people</c><00:39:19.610><c> wondered.</c>

00:39:20.530 --> 00:39:23.070
That's<00:39:20.889><c> exactly</c><00:39:21.449><c> the</c><00:39:21.670><c> process</c><00:39:22.070><c> that</c><00:39:22.329><c> all</c><00:39:22.489><c> of</c><00:39:22.570><c> us</c><00:39:22.690><c> have</c><00:39:22.849><c> got</c><00:39:22.949><c> to</c>

00:39:23.070 --> 00:39:24.130
go<00:39:23.250><c> through.</c>

00:39:24.929 --> 00:39:27.230
We've<00:39:25.110><c> got</c><00:39:25.110><c> to</c><00:39:25.230><c> have</c><00:39:25.510><c> stuff</c><00:39:25.809><c> put</c><00:39:26.050><c> in</c><00:39:26.190><c> our</c><00:39:26.449><c> minds</c><00:39:26.750><c> that</c><00:39:26.949><c> comes</c>

00:39:27.230 --> 00:39:29.789
from<00:39:27.449><c> God,</c><00:39:27.849><c> from</c><00:39:28.050><c> the</c><00:39:28.230><c> words</c><00:39:28.449><c> of</c><00:39:28.630><c> His</c><00:39:28.909><c> Son.</c>

00:39:30.170 --> 00:39:32.230
And<00:39:30.309><c> it's</c><00:39:30.489><c> that</c><00:39:30.869><c> that</c><00:39:31.050><c> gives</c><00:39:31.269><c> us</c><00:39:31.510><c> the</c><00:39:31.650><c> ability</c><00:39:31.929><c> to</c><00:39:32.110><c> speak.</c>

00:39:32.250 --> 00:39:34.969
You<00:39:32.349><c> know</c><00:39:32.429><c> what</c><00:39:32.570><c> Paul</c><00:39:32.809><c> says</c><00:39:33.050><c> about</c><00:39:33.250><c> this</c><00:39:33.469><c> in</c><00:39:33.590><c> Romans</c><00:39:33.889><c> chapter</c><00:39:34.230><c> 10?</c>

00:39:35.150 --> 00:39:38.210
He<00:39:35.309><c> says,</c><00:39:35.710><c> with</c><00:39:35.769><c> the</c><00:39:36.070><c> heart,</c><00:39:36.610><c> man</c><00:39:36.889><c> believes</c><00:39:37.309><c> unto</c><00:39:37.590><c> salvation.</c>

00:39:38.510 --> 00:39:42.409
And<00:39:38.690><c> with</c><00:39:38.929><c> the</c><00:39:39.070><c> mouth,</c><00:39:40.489><c> he</c><00:39:40.690><c> gives</c><00:39:40.989><c> confession.</c>

00:39:42.789 --> 00:39:44.969
This<00:39:43.389><c> is</c><00:39:43.610><c> the</c><00:39:43.730><c> process.</c>

00:39:45.610 --> 00:39:49.170
The<00:39:45.750><c> truth</c><00:39:45.949><c> comes</c><00:39:46.250><c> into</c><00:39:46.429><c> the</c><00:39:46.690><c> brain,</c><00:39:47.789><c> and</c><00:39:47.809><c> we're</c><00:39:47.949><c> able</c><00:39:48.210><c> to</c><00:39:48.409><c> express</c><00:39:48.869><c> and</c>

00:39:51.750 --> 00:39:56.070
And<00:39:51.969><c> that's</c><00:39:52.329><c> why</c><00:39:52.730><c> we</c><00:39:53.150><c> have</c><00:39:53.309><c> the</c><00:39:53.590><c> introduction</c><00:39:54.110><c> in</c><00:39:54.489><c> verses</c><00:39:54.869><c> 2,</c>

00:39:58.750 --> 00:40:01.869
Because<00:39:59.070><c> here</c><00:39:59.409><c> we</c><00:39:59.630><c> have</c><00:39:59.789><c> the</c><00:40:00.110><c> very</c><00:40:00.429><c> expressed</c><00:40:01.050><c> image</c><00:40:01.449><c> of</c><00:40:01.710><c> the</c>

He<00:40:26.550><c> might</c><00:40:26.769><c> be</c><00:40:26.969><c> the</c><00:40:27.090><c> very</c><00:40:27.329><c> manifestation</c><00:40:27.969><c> of</c><00:40:28.170><c> the</c><00:40:28.250><c> divine</c><00:40:28.550><c> mind</c>

00:40:28.789 --> 00:40:29.469

00:40:29.550 --> 00:40:34.110
So<00:40:29.690><c> that</c><00:40:29.769><c> when</c><00:40:29.889><c> He</c><00:40:30.130><c> opened</c><00:40:30.349><c> His</c><00:40:30.570><c> mouth,</c><00:40:31.650><c> it</c><00:40:31.730><c> wasn't</c><00:40:32.030><c> Christ</c><00:40:32.389><c> speaking,</c><00:40:33.969><c> it</c>

00:40:34.110 --> 00:40:36.449
was<00:40:34.429><c> God</c><00:40:35.090><c> speaking.</c>

00:40:37.449 --> 00:40:41.949
That,<00:40:38.190><c> brothers</c><00:40:38.389><c> and</c><00:40:38.630><c> sisters,</c><00:40:39.969><c> is</c><00:40:40.110><c> why</c><00:40:40.349><c> that</c><00:40:40.590><c> phrase</c><00:40:40.849><c> is</c><00:40:41.130><c> there.</c>

00:40:42.070 --> 00:40:45.530
That's<00:40:42.329><c> why</c><00:40:42.550><c> He</c><00:40:42.789><c> encounters</c><00:40:43.130><c> a</c><00:40:43.489><c> spirit</c><00:40:43.929><c> that</c><00:40:44.389><c> is</c><00:40:44.630><c> dumb.</c>

00:40:45.630 --> 00:40:47.190
It's<00:40:45.769><c> to</c><00:40:45.909><c> teach</c><00:40:46.070><c> a</c><00:40:46.130><c> very</c><00:40:46.469><c> important</c><00:40:46.829><c> lesson.</c>

00:40:47.449 --> 00:40:53.630
We<00:40:47.730><c> start</c><00:40:48.230><c> with</c><00:40:48.530><c> nothing,</c><00:40:50.489><c> but</c><00:40:50.630><c> if</c><00:40:50.809><c> the</c><00:40:51.050><c> truth</c><00:40:51.489><c> enters</c><00:40:51.929><c> in,</c><00:40:53.489><c> it</c>

00:40:57.190 --> 00:41:01.070
and<00:40:57.449><c> lead</c><00:40:57.710><c> us</c><00:40:57.989><c> to</c><00:40:58.329><c> immortality,</c><00:40:59.989><c> that</c><00:41:00.050><c> the</c><00:41:00.269><c> prayer</c><00:41:00.409><c> might</c><00:41:00.670><c> become</c><00:41:00.909><c> a</c>

reality<00:41:01.409><c> in</c><00:41:01.630><c> our</c><00:41:01.829><c> lives.</c>

00:41:02.230 --> 00:41:06.110
Well,<00:41:02.969><c> of</c><00:41:03.190><c> course,</c><00:41:04.050><c> there</c><00:41:04.130><c> are</c><00:41:04.250><c> some</c><00:41:04.510><c> pretty</c><00:41:04.849><c> stupid</c><00:41:05.210><c> people</c>

00:41:06.110 --> 00:41:07.250
standing<00:41:06.710><c> around</c><00:41:07.090><c> me.</c>

00:41:07.289 --> 00:41:09.010
Look<00:41:07.429><c> at</c><00:41:07.550><c> verse</c><00:41:07.789><c> 15.</c>

00:41:09.090 --> 00:41:12.429
But<00:41:09.190><c> some</c><00:41:09.469><c> of</c><00:41:09.570><c> them</c><00:41:09.690><c> said,</c><00:41:10.190><c> He</c><00:41:10.190><c> casts</c><00:41:10.530><c> out</c><00:41:10.889><c> demons</c><00:41:11.250><c> through</c><00:41:11.530><c> Beelzebub.</c>

00:41:12.869 --> 00:41:14.210
The<00:41:13.010><c> Lord</c><00:41:13.150><c> had</c><00:41:13.469><c> done</c><00:41:13.710><c> Him.</c>

00:41:14.550 --> 00:41:17.690
Can't<00:41:14.909><c> be</c><00:41:15.170><c> forgiven</c><00:41:15.409><c> that</c><00:41:15.690><c> one,</c><00:41:15.949><c> he</c><00:41:15.949><c> says</c><00:41:16.150><c> in</c><00:41:16.289><c> Matthew</c><00:41:16.610><c> 12.</c>

00:41:17.869 --> 00:41:20.909
That<00:41:18.230><c> is</c><00:41:19.010><c> the</c><00:41:19.329><c> nth</c><00:41:19.769><c> degree</c><00:41:20.190><c> of</c><00:41:20.570><c> blasphemy.</c>

00:41:21.030 --> 00:41:23.449
You<00:41:21.309><c> cannot</c><00:41:21.909><c> be</c><00:41:22.289><c> forgiven</c><00:41:22.610><c> that.</c>

00:41:25.230 --> 00:41:26.909
So<00:41:25.530><c> he</c><00:41:25.610><c> goes</c><00:41:25.809><c> on.</c>

00:41:26.949 --> 00:41:28.869
He,<00:41:27.170><c> knowing</c><00:41:27.349><c> their</c><00:41:27.630><c> thoughts</c><00:41:27.869><c> in</c><00:41:28.030><c> verse</c><00:41:28.289><c> 17,</c><00:41:28.710><c> said,</c>

00:41:31.849 --> 00:41:34.369

00:41:34.510 --> 00:41:36.650
Satan<00:41:34.769><c> be</c><00:41:35.010><c> divided</c><00:41:35.269><c> against</c><00:41:35.570><c> himself.</c>

00:41:36.730 --> 00:41:38.670
How<00:41:36.949><c> shall</c><00:41:37.130><c> his</c><00:41:37.389><c> kingdom</c><00:41:37.650><c> stand?</c>

00:41:39.030 --> 00:41:42.230
And<00:41:39.070><c> in</c><00:41:39.250><c> verse</c><00:41:39.510><c> 19,</c><00:41:40.110><c> he</c><00:41:40.130><c> says,</c><00:41:40.909><c> Well,</c><00:41:40.969><c> if</c><00:41:41.170><c> I</c><00:41:41.409><c> cast</c><00:41:41.670><c> out</c><00:41:41.949><c> demons</c>

00:41:45.250 --> 00:41:47.190
But,<00:41:45.449><c> now</c><00:41:45.650><c> look</c><00:41:45.829><c> at</c><00:41:45.949><c> verse</c><00:41:46.210><c> 20.</c>

00:41:48.449 --> 00:41:53.590
But<00:41:48.969><c> if</c><00:41:49.489><c> I</c><00:41:49.929><c> with</c><00:41:50.090><c> the</c><00:41:50.369><c> finger</c><00:41:50.650><c> of</c><00:41:50.849><c> God</c><00:41:51.349><c> cast</c><00:41:51.889><c> out</c><00:41:52.210><c> demons,</c><00:41:53.389><c> no</c>

00:42:03.070 --> 00:42:05.630
Now<00:42:03.190><c> have</c><00:42:03.349><c> a</c><00:42:03.429><c> look</c><00:42:03.570><c> at</c><00:42:03.650><c> chapter</c><00:42:03.949><c> 10</c><00:42:04.429><c> of</c><00:42:04.710><c> Luke</c><00:42:04.909><c> and</c><00:42:05.110><c> verse</c><00:42:05.349><c> 9.</c>

00:42:05.710 --> 00:42:07.449
And<00:42:05.789><c> you'll</c><00:42:05.929><c> see</c><00:42:06.050><c> what</c><00:42:06.150><c> He</c><00:42:06.289><c> means</c><00:42:06.630><c> by</c><00:42:06.889><c> this.</c>

00:42:07.849 --> 00:42:09.849
Luke<00:42:08.070><c> 10</c><00:42:08.369><c> and</c><00:42:08.469><c> verse</c><00:42:08.730><c> 9.</c>

00:42:10.510 --> 00:42:13.889
He<00:42:10.570><c> sends</c><00:42:10.809><c> out</c><00:42:11.030><c> His</c><00:42:11.250><c> disciples,</c><00:42:12.130><c> 70</c><00:42:12.349><c> of</c><00:42:12.570><c> them</c><00:42:12.670><c> in</c><00:42:12.769><c> this</c><00:42:13.010><c> case.</c>

00:42:13.909 --> 00:42:17.210
And<00:42:14.050><c> He</c><00:42:14.070><c> says</c><00:42:14.309><c> in</c><00:42:14.409><c> verse</c><00:42:14.610><c> 9,</c><00:42:14.949><c> And</c><00:42:15.110><c> heal</c><00:42:15.289><c> the</c><00:42:15.550><c> sick</c><00:42:15.730><c> that</c><00:42:15.849><c> are</c><00:42:16.030><c> therein,</c><00:42:16.489><c> and</c><00:42:16.590><c> say</c><00:42:16.769><c> to</c><00:42:16.889><c> them,</c>

00:42:17.530 --> 00:42:21.809
The<00:42:17.789><c> kingdom</c><00:42:18.409><c> of</c><00:42:18.750><c> God</c><00:42:19.469><c> is</c><00:42:19.889><c> come</c><00:42:20.210><c> nigh</c><00:42:20.449><c> unto</c><00:42:20.730><c> you.</c>

00:42:22.190 --> 00:42:25.449
You<00:42:22.489><c> see,</c><00:42:22.750><c> it</c><00:42:22.949><c> was</c><00:42:23.170><c> an</c><00:42:23.369><c> earnest</c><00:42:23.610><c> of</c><00:42:24.190><c> the</c><00:42:24.409><c> things</c><00:42:24.590><c> that</c><00:42:24.769><c> were</c><00:42:24.869><c> to</c><00:42:25.090><c> come.</c>

00:42:25.449 --> 00:42:28.369
It<00:42:26.269><c> was</c><00:42:26.670><c> the</c><00:42:26.730><c> promise</c><00:42:27.250><c> of</c><00:42:27.690><c> greater</c><00:42:27.909><c> things.</c>

00:42:28.829 --> 00:42:32.429
But<00:42:28.869><c> as</c><00:42:29.050><c> He</c><00:42:29.110><c> went</c><00:42:29.269><c> around</c><00:42:29.550><c> teaching</c><00:42:29.969><c> and</c><00:42:30.449><c> healing,</c><00:42:31.369><c> it</c><00:42:31.389><c> was</c><00:42:31.570><c> like</c><00:42:31.829><c> the</c><00:42:31.989><c> kingdom</c><00:42:32.269><c> of</c>

00:42:32.429 --> 00:42:35.329
God<00:42:32.590><c> was</c><00:42:32.889><c> there</c><00:42:33.210><c> in</c><00:42:33.610><c> embryo</c><00:42:34.329><c> form.</c>

00:42:35.469 --> 00:42:38.510
Because<00:42:35.750><c> this</c><00:42:36.349><c> is</c><00:42:36.570><c> what</c><00:42:36.949><c> it</c><00:42:37.230><c> would</c><00:42:37.449><c> achieve</c><00:42:37.929><c> in</c><00:42:38.130><c> the</c><00:42:38.329><c> earth.</c>

00:42:38.610 --> 00:42:42.250
It<00:42:38.630><c> would</c><00:42:38.889><c> achieve</c><00:42:39.329><c> the</c><00:42:39.690><c> healing</c><00:42:40.250><c> of</c><00:42:41.150><c> mankind.</c>

00:42:42.630 --> 00:42:47.010
So,<00:42:43.829><c> there's</c><00:42:44.010><c> our</c><00:42:44.190><c> third</c><00:42:44.429><c> clause</c><00:42:44.949><c> of</c><00:42:45.610><c> the</c><00:42:45.769><c> Lord's</c><00:42:46.230><c> Prayer.</c>

Psalm<00:46:03.510><c> 106,</c><00:46:04.150><c> we</c><00:46:04.250><c> read</c><00:46:04.409><c> today</c><00:46:04.690><c> in</c><00:46:04.769><c> our</c><00:46:04.889><c> daily</c><00:46:05.050><c> readings,</c><00:46:05.570><c> was</c>

about<00:46:05.989><c> this</c><00:46:06.329><c> fact,</c>

00:46:06.869 --> 00:46:08.190

00:46:08.389 --> 00:46:11.769
The<00:46:08.730><c> overthrow</c><00:46:09.269><c> of</c><00:46:09.710><c> Pharaoh</c><00:46:09.929><c> in</c><00:46:10.250><c> the</c><00:46:10.329><c> Red</c><00:46:10.650><c> Sea.</c>

00:46:12.090 --> 00:46:15.269

00:46:15.309 --> 00:46:17.369
And<00:46:15.630><c> what</c><00:46:15.789><c> did</c><00:46:16.010><c> Israel</c><00:46:16.309><c> do</c><00:46:16.489><c> when</c><00:46:16.630><c> they</c><00:46:16.789><c> left</c><00:46:16.989><c> Egypt?</c>

00:46:17.510 --> 00:46:21.849
It<00:46:17.590><c> says</c><00:46:17.829><c> at</c><00:46:18.030><c> the</c><00:46:18.090><c> end</c><00:46:18.349><c> of</c><00:46:18.530><c> verse</c><00:46:18.889><c> 22,</c><00:46:19.809><c> and</c><00:46:20.170><c> divideth</c><00:46:20.590><c> his</c><00:46:20.849><c> spoils.</c>

00:46:21.969 --> 00:46:24.590
Moses<00:46:22.429><c> and</c><00:46:22.670><c> Aaron</c><00:46:22.789><c> went</c><00:46:23.010><c> around</c><00:46:23.309><c> to</c><00:46:23.530><c> the</c><00:46:23.769><c> Israelites</c><00:46:24.090><c> and</c><00:46:24.349><c> said,</c>

00:46:24.590 --> 00:46:27.989
you<00:46:24.750><c> go</c><00:46:24.969><c> and</c><00:46:25.230><c> borrow</c><00:46:25.429><c> from</c><00:46:25.630><c> the</c><00:46:25.829><c> Egyptians</c><00:46:26.309><c> everything</c><00:46:27.409><c> you</c><00:46:27.670><c> can.</c>

00:46:28.050 --> 00:46:30.489
You're<00:46:28.269><c> going</c><00:46:28.269><c> to</c><00:46:28.289><c> need</c><00:46:28.469><c> the</c><00:46:28.690><c> stuff</c><00:46:28.829><c> for</c><00:46:29.329><c> the</c><00:46:29.489><c> tabernacle.</c>

00:46:30.949 --> 00:46:33.489
So<00:46:31.070><c> they</c><00:46:31.389><c> borrowed</c><00:46:31.809><c> from</c><00:46:32.130><c> the,</c><00:46:32.130><c> and</c><00:46:32.329><c> the</c><00:46:32.530><c> record</c><00:46:32.769><c> says</c><00:46:33.010><c> they</c>

00:46:33.489 --> 00:46:35.590
spoiled<00:46:34.409><c> the</c><00:46:35.369><c> Egyptians.</c>

00:46:35.710 --> 00:46:38.570
The<00:46:35.809><c> Egyptians</c><00:46:36.010><c> said,</c><00:46:36.409><c> take</c><00:46:36.710><c> it,</c><00:46:36.989><c> get</c><00:46:37.230><c> out</c><00:46:37.449><c> of</c><00:46:37.650><c> here.</c>

00:46:40.050 --> 00:46:43.309
So<00:46:40.250><c> this</c><00:46:40.449><c> is</c><00:46:40.650><c> all</c><00:46:40.889><c> based</c><00:46:41.409><c> on</c><00:46:42.289><c> Exodus.</c>

00:46:43.469 --> 00:46:44.230
See<00:46:43.530><c> what</c><00:46:43.670><c> the</c><00:46:43.789><c> Lord's</c><00:46:44.110><c> doing?</c>

00:46:44.429 --> 00:46:48.849
That's<00:46:44.869><c> why</c><00:46:45.070><c> he</c><00:46:45.269><c> uses</c><00:46:45.630><c> the</c><00:46:45.969><c> phrase,</c><00:46:47.030><c> the</c><00:46:47.329><c> finger</c><00:46:47.670><c> of</c><00:46:47.969><c> God.</c>

00:46:49.289 --> 00:46:52.409
So<00:46:49.489><c> we</c><00:46:49.690><c> read</c><00:46:49.829><c> in</c><00:46:50.010><c> verse</c><00:46:50.210><c> 23,</c><00:46:50.989><c> now</c><00:46:51.210><c> this</c><00:46:51.429><c> seems</c><00:46:51.710><c> a</c><00:46:51.809><c> bit</c><00:46:51.989><c> unusual,</c>

00:46:52.610 --> 00:46:53.269
doesn't<00:46:52.750><c> it?</c>

00:46:53.269 --> 00:46:56.489
He<00:46:53.809><c> that</c><00:46:53.929><c> is</c><00:46:54.130><c> not</c><00:46:54.369><c> with</c><00:46:54.650><c> me</c><00:46:54.989><c> is</c><00:46:55.210><c> against</c><00:46:55.610><c> me.</c>

00:46:56.690 --> 00:47:00.789
And<00:46:56.849><c> he</c><00:46:56.969><c> that</c><00:46:57.250><c> gathereth</c><00:46:57.690><c> not</c><00:46:57.929><c> with</c><00:46:58.250><c> me</c><00:46:59.269><c> scattereth.</c>

00:47:01.150 --> 00:47:03.309
Are<00:47:01.750><c> you</c><00:47:01.989><c> serious,</c><00:47:02.610><c> Lord?</c>

00:47:04.429 --> 00:47:07.170
You<00:47:04.730><c> can't</c><00:47:04.989><c> be</c><00:47:05.329><c> serious,</c><00:47:06.329><c> surely.</c>

00:47:08.269 --> 00:47:10.789
Can't<00:47:08.590><c> I</c><00:47:08.869><c> stand</c><00:47:09.170><c> in</c><00:47:09.389><c> a</c><00:47:09.510><c> neutral</c><00:47:09.809><c> position?</c>

00:47:12.889 --> 00:47:13.489
No.

00:47:13.809 --> 00:47:19.289
He<00:47:13.949><c> says,</c><00:47:15.090><c> he</c><00:47:15.230><c> that</c><00:47:15.369><c> is</c><00:47:15.570><c> not</c><00:47:15.849><c> with</c><00:47:16.150><c> me,</c><00:47:17.070><c> that</c><00:47:17.230><c> is,</c><00:47:17.789><c> in</c><00:47:17.909><c> full</c><00:47:18.210><c> support</c><00:47:18.650><c> of</c><00:47:18.809><c> me,</c>

00:47:19.289 --> 00:47:22.489
is<00:47:19.789><c> actually</c><00:47:20.429><c> against</c><00:47:21.010><c> me.</c>

00:47:24.309 --> 00:47:27.570
And<00:47:24.530><c> he</c><00:47:25.329><c> that</c><00:47:25.750><c> gathereth</c><00:47:26.190><c> not</c><00:47:26.369><c> with</c><00:47:26.610><c> me,</c><00:47:26.869><c> that</c><00:47:27.050><c> is,</c><00:47:27.429><c> who</c><00:47:27.429><c> is</c>

00:47:27.570 --> 00:47:30.949
not<00:47:28.190><c> actively</c><00:47:28.750><c> gathering</c><00:47:29.429><c> with</c><00:47:29.769><c> me,</c>

00:47:31.429 --> 00:47:32.949
is<00:47:31.610><c> actually</c><00:47:32.090><c> scattering.</c>

00:47:35.329 --> 00:47:38.010
Now<00:47:35.510><c> that's</c><00:47:35.690><c> not</c><00:47:35.909><c> the</c><00:47:35.969><c> way</c><00:47:36.190><c> human</c><00:47:36.389><c> beings</c><00:47:36.670><c> think,</c><00:47:36.989><c> is</c><00:47:37.130><c> it?</c>

00:47:38.409 --> 00:47:41.670
We<00:47:38.610><c> live</c><00:47:38.750><c> in</c><00:47:38.849><c> a</c><00:47:39.010><c> world</c><00:47:39.369><c> of</c><00:47:39.969><c> neutralists.</c>

00:47:42.829 --> 00:47:46.349
Neutrality<00:47:43.550><c> is</c><00:47:44.190><c> a</c><00:47:44.349><c> human</c><00:47:45.190><c> disease.</c>

00:47:46.710 --> 00:47:50.670
And<00:47:47.429><c> it</c><00:47:47.570><c> happens</c><00:47:47.949><c> in</c><00:47:48.130><c> the</c><00:47:48.289><c> truth,</c><00:47:48.730><c> brothers</c><00:47:48.849><c> and</c><00:47:49.110><c> sisters,</c><00:47:49.469><c> as</c><00:47:49.809><c> well.</c>

00:47:51.909 --> 00:47:58.329
There<00:47:51.969><c> is</c><00:47:52.289><c> no</c><00:47:52.949><c> such</c><00:47:53.570><c> thing</c><00:47:54.389><c> as</c><00:47:55.289><c> neutrality</c><00:47:56.809><c> in</c><00:47:57.989><c> the</c><00:47:58.150><c> matters</c>

00:47:58.329 --> 00:47:59.429
of<00:47:58.510><c> God.</c>

00:48:00.650 --> 00:48:07.650
You<00:48:01.090><c> cannot</c><00:48:01.730><c> be</c><00:48:03.210><c> neutral</c><00:48:03.909><c> in</c><00:48:05.889><c> the</c><00:48:06.070><c> matters</c><00:48:06.489><c> of</c><00:48:06.789><c> God.</c>

00:48:07.989 --> 00:48:09.489
That's<00:48:08.349><c> the</c><00:48:08.469><c> lesson.</c>

00:48:09.650 --> 00:48:12.949
Because<00:48:09.909><c> you</c><00:48:09.989><c> see,</c><00:48:10.250><c> he's</c><00:48:10.550><c> talking</c><00:48:10.889><c> about</c><00:48:11.250><c> the</c><00:48:11.590><c> fourth</c><00:48:12.329><c> clause</c>

00:48:12.949 --> 00:48:14.570

00:48:14.570 --> 00:48:17.550

Yeah,<00:48:38.329><c> I'll</c><00:48:38.550><c> do</c><00:48:38.690><c> that.</c>

00:48:39.550 --> 00:48:40.849
There's<00:48:39.670><c> one</c><00:48:39.829><c> standing</c><00:48:40.070><c> there.</c>

There's<00:48:47.449><c> no</c><00:48:48.030><c> such</c><00:48:48.650><c> thing</c><00:48:49.309><c> as</c><00:48:50.630><c> a</c><00:48:50.889><c> neutral</c><00:48:51.570><c> angel.</c>

And<00:48:54.070><c> there</c><00:48:54.210><c> shouldn't</c><00:48:54.530><c> be</c><00:48:55.110><c> any</c><00:48:55.449><c> such</c><00:48:55.670><c> thing</c><00:48:56.230><c> as</c><00:48:56.769><c> a</c><00:48:56.929><c> neutral</c><00:48:57.670><c> servant</c><00:48:58.090><c> of</c>

00:49:01.909 --> 00:49:04.610

00:49:05.090 --> 00:49:08.949
Sadly,<00:49:06.110><c> too</c><00:49:06.110><c> many</c><00:49:06.590><c> fall</c><00:49:07.110><c> into</c><00:49:07.489><c> that</c><00:49:07.849><c> trap.</c>

00:49:09.670 --> 00:49:10.949

00:49:11.110 --> 00:49:13.650

00:49:14.369 --> 00:49:17.110

The<00:49:32.110><c> wilderness.</c>

00:49:48.929 --> 00:49:53.769

00:50:05.789 --> 00:50:07.929

What<00:50:09.730><c> for?</c>

00:50:10.829 --> 00:50:13.030
Let<00:50:11.050><c> us</c><00:50:11.269><c> return</c><00:50:11.789><c> to</c><00:50:12.030><c> Egypt.</c>

00:56:42.489 --> 00:56:44.510
They<00:56:43.130><c> would</c><00:56:43.449><c> put</c><00:56:43.610><c> their</c><00:56:43.989><c> light</c>

00:57:09.389 --> 00:57:11.250
Well,<00:57:09.769><c> a</c><00:57:09.909><c> bushel</c><00:57:10.070><c> was</c><00:57:10.289><c> a</c><00:57:10.449><c> large</c><00:57:10.829><c> jar</c>

00:57:13.369 --> 00:57:15.389
You<00:57:13.449><c> either</c><00:57:13.630><c> took</c><00:57:13.869><c> something</c><00:57:14.210><c> in</c><00:57:14.489><c> it</c><00:57:14.690><c> to</c><00:57:14.849><c> sell</c>

00:57:15.389 --> 00:57:17.230
or<00:57:16.010><c> you</c><00:57:16.110><c> went</c><00:57:16.269><c> with</c><00:57:16.409><c> an</c><00:57:16.570><c> empty</c><00:57:16.849><c> one</c>

00:57:22.610 --> 00:57:24.769
Some<00:57:22.829><c> men</c><00:57:23.230><c> are</c><00:57:23.469><c> lazy</c>

00:57:24.909 --> 00:57:27.389

00:57:27.989 --> 00:57:31.389
Other<00:57:28.289><c> people</c><00:57:28.710><c> are</c><00:57:29.030><c> too</c><00:57:29.469><c> involved</c><00:57:30.250><c> in</c><00:57:30.510><c> the</c><00:57:30.710><c> business</c>

00:57:31.389 --> 00:57:33.449
of<00:57:32.050><c> this</c><00:57:32.369><c> life</c>

00:57:36.829 --> 00:57:38.250
And<00:57:37.050><c> the</c><00:57:37.170><c> Lord</c><00:57:37.389><c> gave</c><00:57:37.690><c> that</c><00:57:37.989><c> warning.</c>

00:57:38.250 --> 00:57:40.409
Beware,<00:57:39.449><c> he</c><00:57:39.449><c> said,</c>

00:57:40.849 --> 00:57:42.269
don't<00:57:41.369><c> hide</c><00:57:41.650><c> your</c><00:57:41.929><c> light</c>

or<00:57:44.550><c> under</c><00:57:44.849><c> a</c><00:57:44.949><c> bushel.</c>

00:57:46.530 --> 00:57:47.269
So<00:57:46.570><c> what's</c><00:57:46.730><c> this</c><00:57:46.929><c> about?</c>

00:57:47.489 --> 00:57:48.610
It's<00:57:47.630><c> about</c><00:57:47.989><c> living</c><00:57:48.210><c> the</c><00:57:48.449><c> truth</c>

00:57:48.610 --> 00:57:49.489
as<00:57:48.789><c> it</c><00:57:48.889><c> ought</c><00:57:49.030><c> to</c><00:57:49.190><c> be</c><00:57:49.349><c> lived.</c>

00:57:49.570 --> 00:57:50.389
Verse<00:57:49.750><c> 34.</c>

00:57:50.789 --> 00:57:52.170
The<00:57:50.889><c> light</c><00:57:51.150><c> of</c><00:57:51.309><c> the</c><00:57:51.449><c> body</c><00:57:51.630><c> is</c><00:57:51.869><c> the</c><00:57:52.010><c> eye.</c>

00:57:52.230 --> 00:57:53.110
Now<00:57:52.389><c> we</c><00:57:52.489><c> all</c><00:57:52.730><c> know</c>

00:57:53.110 --> 00:57:54.929
that<00:57:53.349><c> the</c><00:57:53.489><c> reason</c><00:57:53.690><c> that</c><00:57:53.889><c> you</c><00:57:53.969><c> can</c><00:57:54.230><c> see</c><00:57:54.369><c> me</c>

00:57:54.929 --> 00:57:56.849
and<00:57:55.230><c> the</c><00:57:55.349><c> reason</c><00:57:55.590><c> that</c><00:57:55.769><c> I</c><00:57:55.849><c> can</c><00:57:56.090><c> see</c><00:57:56.329><c> you</c>

00:57:56.849 --> 00:57:59.050
is<00:57:57.170><c> that</c><00:57:57.289><c> these</c><00:57:57.550><c> lights</c><00:57:57.809><c> are</c><00:57:58.090><c> on.</c>

00:57:59.130 --> 00:58:00.570
They<00:57:59.329><c> are</c><00:57:59.530><c> beaming</c><00:57:59.869><c> light</c>

00:58:00.570 --> 00:58:02.769
onto<00:58:01.210><c> your</c><00:58:01.610><c> body</c><00:58:01.929><c> and</c><00:58:02.230><c> face</c>

00:58:02.769 --> 00:58:05.690
which<00:58:03.349><c> is</c><00:58:03.610><c> then</c><00:58:03.869><c> projected</c><00:58:04.409><c> to</c><00:58:04.849><c> my</c><00:58:05.250><c> eye.</c>

00:58:05.690 --> 00:58:09.190
It<00:58:06.190><c> goes</c><00:58:06.570><c> through</c><00:58:07.230><c> to</c><00:58:08.389><c> the</c><00:58:08.469><c> retina.</c>

00:58:09.329 --> 00:58:10.550
It's<00:58:09.550><c> upside</c><00:58:09.849><c> down</c><00:58:10.090><c> by</c><00:58:10.289><c> the</c><00:58:10.389><c> way</c>

00:58:10.550 --> 00:58:12.409
but<00:58:10.670><c> I</c><00:58:10.849><c> see</c><00:58:10.989><c> you</c><00:58:11.150><c> the</c><00:58:11.210><c> right</c><00:58:11.409><c> way.</c>

00:58:12.530 --> 00:58:13.690
And<00:58:12.630><c> it</c><00:58:12.710><c> goes</c><00:58:12.909><c> to</c><00:58:13.090><c> the</c><00:58:13.250><c> brain</c>

00:58:13.690 --> 00:58:15.949
and<00:58:14.650><c> I</c><00:58:14.869><c> can</c><00:58:15.090><c> see.</c>

00:58:16.570 --> 00:58:18.269
So<00:58:16.789><c> the</c><00:58:17.070><c> light</c><00:58:17.449><c> of</c><00:58:17.789><c> the</c><00:58:17.949><c> body</c>

00:58:18.269 --> 00:58:19.829
is<00:58:18.610><c> that's</c><00:58:19.010><c> why</c><00:58:19.210><c> the</c><00:58:19.489><c> eye</c>

00:58:19.829 --> 00:58:23.070

00:58:24.730 --> 00:58:26.469
See<00:58:24.809><c> what</c><00:58:24.929><c> it's</c><00:58:24.969><c> going</c><00:58:25.130><c> to</c><00:58:25.250><c> say</c><00:58:25.409><c> here?</c>

00:58:26.849 --> 00:58:29.429
Therefore<00:58:27.349><c> when</c><00:58:27.670><c> thine</c><00:58:27.829><c> eye</c><00:58:28.289><c> is</c><00:58:28.630><c> single</c>

00:58:29.630 --> 00:58:33.309
thy<00:58:30.230><c> whole</c><00:58:30.670><c> body</c><00:58:31.070><c> is</c><00:58:31.389><c> also</c><00:58:31.789><c> full</c><00:58:32.050><c> of</c><00:58:32.269><c> light.</c>

00:58:33.429 --> 00:58:35.110
But<00:58:33.630><c> when</c><00:58:33.929><c> thine</c><00:58:34.070><c> eye</c><00:58:34.289><c> is</c><00:58:34.530><c> evil</c>

00:58:35.110 --> 00:58:36.949
or<00:58:35.809><c> divided</c>

00:58:36.949 --> 00:58:40.030
thy<00:58:37.829><c> body</c><00:58:38.170><c> is</c><00:58:38.409><c> full</c><00:58:38.670><c> of</c><00:58:38.769><c> darkness.</c>

00:58:40.769 --> 00:58:42.289
James<00:58:40.909><c> says</c><00:58:41.289><c> in</c><00:58:41.369><c> chapter</c><00:58:41.829><c> 1</c>

00:58:42.630 --> 00:58:45.369

00:58:50.510 --> 00:58:53.070
You<00:58:50.530><c> can't</c><00:58:51.050><c> be</c><00:58:51.590><c> divided</c><00:58:52.110><c> in</c><00:58:52.610><c> mind</c>

00:58:53.070 --> 00:58:56.110

It<00:58:56.530><c> just</c><00:58:57.250><c> doesn't</c><00:58:58.190><c> work.</c>

00:59:00.030 --> 00:59:01.909
This<00:59:00.429><c> is</c><00:59:00.710><c> a</c><00:59:00.789><c> symbol</c><00:59:01.030><c> for</c><00:59:01.329><c> intelligence.</c>

00:59:02.170 --> 00:59:04.690
You've<00:59:02.469><c> got</c><00:59:02.769><c> to</c><00:59:03.050><c> have</c><00:59:03.389><c> what's</c><00:59:03.949><c> going</c><00:59:04.110><c> in</c>

One<00:59:12.110><c> way</c><00:59:12.630><c> that</c><00:59:13.590><c> you're</c><00:59:13.889><c> not</c><00:59:14.389><c> divided.</c>

00:59:15.269 --> 00:59:16.849
That's<00:59:15.570><c> his</c><00:59:15.730><c> lesson.</c><00:59:16.130><c> It's</c><00:59:16.130><c> pretty</c><00:59:16.389><c> simple.</c>

00:59:39.550 --> 00:59:41.130
What<00:59:39.650><c> was</c><00:59:39.889><c> that?</c>

00:59:42.190 --> 00:59:45.150
And<00:59:42.389><c> lead</c><00:59:42.550><c> us</c><00:59:43.010><c> not</c><00:59:43.409><c> into</c><00:59:43.869><c> temptation</c>

00:59:47.730 --> 00:59:49.530
How<00:59:47.929><c> does</c><00:59:48.110><c> God</c><00:59:48.309><c> deliver</c><00:59:48.610><c> you?</c>

00:59:49.550 --> 00:59:52.170
By<00:59:49.989><c> spirit</c><00:59:50.849><c> guidance.</c>

00:59:52.369 --> 00:59:53.829
Comes<00:59:52.570><c> from</c><00:59:52.769><c> the</c><00:59:52.929><c> word.</c>

00:59:54.369 --> 00:59:56.789

00:59:57.309 --> 00:59:59.110
But<00:59:57.869><c> it</c><00:59:57.989><c> only</c><00:59:58.409><c> works</c>

00:59:59.110 --> 01:00:01.250
if<00:59:59.710><c> you're</c><00:59:59.949><c> single</c><01:00:00.250><c> minded.</c>

01:00:01.889 --> 01:00:03.090
If<01:00:01.969><c> you're</c><01:00:02.309><c> double</c><01:00:02.650><c> minded</c>

01:00:03.090 --> 01:00:04.929
if<01:00:04.090><c> you're</c><01:00:04.369><c> divided</c>

01:00:04.929 --> 01:00:07.409

01:00:13.090 --> 01:00:14.130
So<01:00:13.269><c> if</c><01:00:13.409><c> the</c><01:00:13.510><c> Lord's</c><01:00:13.869><c> prayer</c>

I've<01:00:23.750><c> just</c><01:00:23.989><c> spoken.</c>

01:00:24.550 --> 01:00:26.369
Implemented.

01:00:27.130 --> 01:00:28.329
And<01:00:27.210><c> if</c><01:00:27.369><c> you</c><01:00:27.670><c> ask</c>

01:00:28.329 --> 01:00:31.190
