00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:20.739
things.

00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:24.459
Well,<00:01:21.700><c> if</c><00:01:21.799><c> we</c><00:01:22.000><c> were</c><00:01:22.019><c> young,</c><00:01:23.079><c> and</c><00:01:23.200><c> that</c><00:01:23.379><c> was</c><00:01:23.659><c> a</c><00:01:23.719><c> long</c><00:01:23.939><c> time</c><00:01:24.200><c> ago</c>

00:01:24.459 --> 00:01:26.900
for<00:01:24.640><c> some</c><00:01:24.879><c> of</c><00:01:25.000><c> us,</c><00:01:25.260><c> like</c><00:01:25.519><c> Jeff,</c><00:01:25.980><c> but</c><00:01:26.340><c> we</c>

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.739
would<00:01:27.879><c> think</c><00:01:28.219><c> that</c><00:01:28.379><c> we</c><00:01:28.439><c> could</c><00:01:28.640><c> accomplish</c><00:01:29.180><c> everything</c><00:01:29.959><c> possible.</c>

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:32.879
There's<00:01:31.439><c> always</c><00:01:31.659><c> a</c><00:01:31.900><c> goal</c><00:01:32.180><c> that</c><00:01:32.340><c> we</c><00:01:32.379><c> can</c><00:01:32.560><c> achieve.</c>

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.659
Everything<00:01:33.260><c> in</c><00:01:33.599><c> life</c><00:01:33.879><c> that</c><00:01:34.079><c> we</c><00:01:34.299><c> see</c><00:01:34.500><c> is</c><00:01:34.719><c> a</c><00:01:34.859><c> goal,</c><00:01:35.780><c> and</c><00:01:35.959><c> we</c><00:01:36.239><c> think</c><00:01:36.500><c> we</c>

00:01:36.659 --> 00:01:37.659
can<00:01:36.879><c> actually</c><00:01:37.120><c> achieve</c><00:01:37.540><c> it.</c>

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.120
So<00:01:38.000><c> when</c><00:01:38.280><c> we</c><00:01:38.459><c> come</c><00:01:38.579><c> into</c><00:01:38.700><c> the</c><00:01:38.959><c> truth</c><00:01:39.159><c> and</c><00:01:39.319><c> we're</c><00:01:39.560><c> exposed</c><00:01:39.920><c> to</c>

00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.180
God's<00:01:40.560><c> Word,</c><00:01:41.319><c> we</c><00:01:41.519><c> think</c><00:01:41.980><c> there's</c><00:01:42.659><c> something</c>

00:01:43.180 --> 00:01:46.700
that<00:01:43.400><c> we</c><00:01:43.519><c> can</c><00:01:43.739><c> actually</c><00:01:43.939><c> achieve,</c><00:01:45.280><c> that</c><00:01:45.379><c> we</c><00:01:45.480><c> can</c><00:01:46.000><c> reach</c><00:01:46.439><c> out,</c>

00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.319
we<00:01:46.859><c> can</c><00:01:47.099><c> make</c><00:01:47.379><c> it</c><00:01:47.599><c> to</c><00:01:47.739><c> the</c><00:01:47.920><c> Kingdom.</c>

00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.040
And<00:01:48.799><c> there's</c><00:01:49.040><c> something</c><00:01:49.379><c> that</c><00:01:49.620><c> we</c><00:01:49.739><c> can</c><00:01:49.939><c> do</c><00:01:50.519><c> that</c><00:01:51.040><c> would</c><00:01:51.319><c> qualify</c><00:01:51.719><c> us</c>

00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:53.140
for<00:01:52.200><c> the</c><00:01:52.340><c> Kingdom.</c>

00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:59.060
When<00:01:53.579><c> we</c><00:01:53.719><c> get</c><00:01:53.879><c> to</c><00:01:54.079><c> middle</c><00:01:54.400><c> age,</c><00:01:55.420><c> then</c><00:01:55.599><c> we</c><00:01:55.739><c> come</c><00:01:55.859><c> to</c><00:01:56.060><c> realize</c><00:01:56.500><c> that</c><00:01:56.780><c> the</c><00:01:57.079><c> flesh</c><00:01:57.439><c> can</c><00:01:57.819><c> never</c><00:01:58.060><c> be</c><00:01:58.319><c> beaten.</c>

00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:02.219
Then<00:01:59.480><c> we</c><00:01:59.579><c> have</c><00:01:59.840><c> to</c><00:02:00.000><c> come</c><00:02:00.180><c> to</c><00:02:00.359><c> terms</c><00:02:00.659><c> with</c><00:02:01.079><c> this</c><00:02:01.659><c> is</c><00:02:01.939><c> something</c>

00:02:02.219 --> 00:02:04.060
we<00:02:02.340><c> need</c><00:02:02.560><c> to</c><00:02:02.700><c> deal</c><00:02:02.900><c> with</c><00:02:03.099><c> every</c><00:02:03.459><c> day</c><00:02:03.840><c> of</c>

00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.819
So<00:04:21.279><c> the</c><00:04:21.439><c> question</c><00:04:21.800><c> might</c><00:04:22.060><c> be</c><00:04:22.259><c> asked,</c><00:04:22.480><c> well,</c><00:04:23.060><c> why</c><00:04:23.360><c> would</c><00:04:23.560><c> we</c>

00:04:23.819 --> 00:04:26.019

00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.300
What<00:04:26.420><c> are</c><00:04:26.779><c> Yahweh's</c><00:04:27.680><c> covenants?</c>

00:04:28.300 --> 00:04:32.800
Because<00:04:29.240><c> in</c><00:04:29.779><c> our</c><00:04:30.079><c> community,</c><00:04:30.699><c> we've</c><00:04:31.120><c> identified</c><00:04:31.500><c> them</c><00:04:31.800><c> as</c>

00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.360

00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:14.740
So<00:05:09.860><c> in</c><00:05:10.120><c> whatever</c><00:05:10.439><c> ecclesia</c><00:05:11.279><c> you</c><00:05:11.639><c> belong</c><00:05:12.040><c> to,</c><00:05:13.019><c> our</c><00:05:13.259><c> responsibility</c><00:05:13.920><c> is</c><00:05:14.240><c> to</c><00:05:14.560><c> lay</c>

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.079
today<00:05:22.480><c> to</c><00:05:23.459><c> see</c><00:05:23.600><c> that</c><00:05:23.839><c> it's</c><00:05:23.920><c> not</c><00:05:24.079><c> a</c><00:05:24.120><c> one</c><00:05:24.300><c>-way</c><00:05:24.540><c> street.</c>

00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:27.319
It's<00:05:25.740><c> a</c><00:05:25.879><c> two</c><00:05:26.040><c>-way</c><00:05:26.240><c> street.</c>

00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.100
Well,<00:05:27.620><c> if</c><00:05:27.720><c> we</c><00:05:27.800><c> can</c><00:05:28.000><c> put</c><00:05:28.139><c> it</c><00:05:28.279><c> into</c><00:05:28.540><c> a</c><00:05:28.720><c> pictorial</c><00:05:29.319><c> form,</c><00:05:29.600><c> it</c><00:05:29.680><c> might</c><00:05:29.899><c> look</c>

00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:32.639
something<00:05:30.379><c> like</c><00:05:30.740><c> this,</c><00:05:32.180><c> a</c><00:05:32.420><c> wheel.</c>

00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.199
Now,<00:05:33.439><c> we</c><00:05:33.680><c> speak</c><00:05:33.819><c> about</c><00:05:34.139><c> Yahweh's</c><00:05:34.939><c> covenant,</c><00:05:35.339><c> and</c><00:05:35.480><c> Yahweh</c><00:05:35.939><c> is</c>

00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.620
always<00:05:36.680><c> the</c><00:05:37.079><c> center</c><00:05:37.579><c> and</c><00:05:38.079><c> had</c><00:05:38.319><c> better</c>

00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:40.639
be<00:05:39.079><c> the</c><00:05:39.439><c> center</c><00:05:39.839><c> of</c><00:05:40.120><c> our</c><00:05:40.279><c> life.</c>

00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.860
So<00:05:41.279><c> in</c><00:05:41.420><c> the</c><00:05:41.639><c> center</c><00:05:41.959><c> of</c><00:05:42.180><c> our</c><00:05:42.399><c> circle,</c><00:05:42.699><c> we</c><00:05:42.879><c> have</c><00:05:43.319><c> Yahweh's</c><00:05:44.060><c> covenant.</c>

00:05:45.180 --> 00:05:47.000
And<00:05:45.360><c> this</c><00:05:45.579><c> is</c><00:05:45.800><c> a</c><00:05:45.920><c> long</c><00:05:46.139><c> way</c><00:05:46.420><c> away.</c>

00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:48.560
I'm<00:05:47.420><c> getting</c><00:05:47.620><c> old.</c>

00:05:50.379 --> 00:05:54.160
But<00:05:50.860><c> if</c><00:05:51.100><c> we</c><00:05:51.259><c> were</c><00:05:51.500><c> to</c><00:05:51.720><c> animate</c><00:05:52.100><c> it,</c><00:05:52.560><c> and</c><00:05:52.620><c> we</c><00:05:52.800><c> were...</c>

00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.319
I<00:05:54.560><c> thought</c><00:05:54.759><c> I</c><00:05:54.899><c> took</c><00:05:55.060><c> the</c><00:05:55.180><c> music</c><00:05:55.360><c> off.</c>

00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.759
Anyway,<00:05:57.139><c> if</c><00:05:57.300><c> we</c><00:05:57.459><c> were</c><00:05:57.639><c> to</c><00:05:57.759><c> animate</c><00:05:58.100><c> it,</c><00:05:58.300><c> it</c><00:05:58.379><c> might</c><00:05:58.519><c> look</c><00:05:58.779><c> something</c><00:05:59.040><c> like</c><00:05:59.319><c> this.</c>

00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:03.199
Then<00:06:00.160><c> we</c><00:06:00.279><c> have</c><00:06:00.540><c> Yahweh</c><00:06:00.939><c> in</c><00:06:01.220><c> the</c><00:06:01.399><c> center,</c><00:06:02.240><c> and</c><00:06:02.399><c> emanating</c><00:06:02.819><c> out</c>

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.199
from<00:06:03.399><c> Yahweh's</c><00:06:04.000><c> covenant</c><00:06:04.240><c> are</c><00:06:04.540><c> all</c><00:06:04.779><c> of</c><00:06:04.980><c> the</c>

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.480
tentacles<00:06:05.720><c> of</c><00:06:06.459><c> the</c><00:06:06.639><c> covenant.</c>

00:06:07.660 --> 00:06:11.300
There<00:06:07.860><c> he</c><00:06:08.199><c> fills</c><00:06:08.379><c> in</c><00:06:08.660><c> all</c><00:06:08.920><c> of</c><00:06:09.100><c> the</c><00:06:09.360><c> details</c><00:06:09.759><c> in</c><00:06:10.040><c> our</c><00:06:10.279><c> life,</c><00:06:11.120><c> and</c>

00:06:11.300 --> 00:06:12.899
surrounding<00:06:11.800><c> the</c><00:06:12.040><c> whole</c><00:06:12.319><c> thing</c><00:06:12.500><c> is</c><00:06:12.680><c> the</c>

00:06:12.899 --> 00:06:15.740
Prince<00:06:13.160><c> of</c><00:06:13.399><c> Peace,</c><00:06:14.120><c> the</c><00:06:14.259><c> one</c><00:06:14.399><c> who</c><00:06:14.579><c> is</c><00:06:14.680><c> the</c><00:06:14.939><c> priest</c><00:06:15.199><c> after</c><00:06:15.519><c> the</c>

00:06:15.740 --> 00:06:16.639
order<00:06:15.959><c> of</c><00:06:16.100><c> Melchizedek.</c>

00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:18.980
And<00:06:17.500><c> God</c><00:06:17.680><c> is</c><00:06:17.980><c> always</c><00:06:18.459><c> in</c><00:06:18.680><c> motion.</c>

00:06:19.019 --> 00:06:20.600
He<00:06:19.259><c> never</c><00:06:19.639><c> stops.</c>

00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.600
So<00:06:21.079><c> we</c><00:06:21.220><c> have</c><00:06:21.540><c> a</c><00:06:21.699><c> wheel</c><00:06:21.959><c> inside</c><00:06:22.240><c> of</c><00:06:22.420><c> a</c><00:06:22.500><c> wheel,</c><00:06:22.879><c> as</c><00:06:22.980><c> it</c><00:06:23.160><c> were,</c><00:06:23.339><c> and</c>

00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.540
we'll<00:06:23.920><c> consider</c><00:06:24.339><c> Ezekiel</c><00:06:24.759><c> chapter</c><00:06:25.220><c> 1</c>

00:06:25.540 --> 00:06:27.379
in<00:06:25.879><c> our</c><00:06:26.120><c> second</c><00:06:26.439><c> class.</c>

00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.180
But<00:06:28.019><c> you</c><00:06:28.180><c> see,</c><00:06:28.339><c> it's</c><00:06:28.560><c> a</c><00:06:28.660><c> complete</c><00:06:29.160><c> unit.</c>

00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.040
That<00:06:30.379><c> our</c><00:06:30.579><c> God</c><00:06:30.759><c> is</c><00:06:31.040><c> the</c><00:06:31.180><c> center,</c><00:06:31.899><c> and</c><00:06:32.120><c> Jesus</c><00:06:32.500><c> Christ</c><00:06:33.000><c> is</c><00:06:33.319><c> the</c><00:06:33.500><c> one.</c>

00:06:34.459 --> 00:06:36.839
And<00:06:34.720><c> this</c><00:06:34.920><c> is</c><00:06:35.199><c> a</c><00:06:35.399><c> long</c><00:06:35.680><c> way</c><00:06:36.019><c> away.</c>

00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:45.860

00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:21.319
It's<00:21:18.019><c> all</c><00:21:18.279><c> about</c><00:21:18.700><c> faith</c><00:21:19.299><c> in</c><00:21:20.079><c> things</c><00:21:20.619><c> that</c><00:21:20.920><c> aren't</c><00:21:21.220><c> seen.</c>

00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:31.259

that<00:21:31.380><c> if</c><00:21:31.559><c> someone</c><00:21:31.819><c> sees</c><00:21:32.339><c> us,</c><00:21:32.759><c> they</c><00:21:33.000><c> know.</c>

00:21:34.180 --> 00:21:35.700
When<00:21:34.440><c> we</c><00:21:34.599><c> see</c><00:21:34.720><c> Brother</c><00:21:35.039><c> Dick,</c><00:21:35.299><c> they</c><00:21:35.420><c> say,</c>

00:21:35.980 --> 00:21:39.119
he's<00:21:36.200><c> motivated</c><00:21:36.759><c> by</c><00:21:37.119><c> faith,</c><00:21:37.940><c> faith</c><00:21:38.259><c> and</c><00:21:38.400><c> obedience.</c>

00:21:39.380 --> 00:21:42.079
He's<00:21:39.660><c> not</c><00:21:39.819><c> concerned</c><00:21:40.259><c> with</c><00:21:40.460><c> the</c><00:21:40.599><c> things</c><00:21:40.759><c> of</c><00:21:41.019><c> this</c><00:21:41.140><c> earth.</c>

00:21:42.220 --> 00:21:46.980
You<00:21:42.220><c> see,</c><00:21:42.720><c> faith</c><00:21:43.079><c> is</c><00:21:44.059><c> the</c><00:21:44.380><c> chief</c><00:21:44.680><c> ingredient</c><00:21:45.519><c> in</c><00:21:46.539><c> us</c>

00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:48.940
as<00:21:47.380><c> we</c><00:21:47.640><c> call</c><00:21:47.859><c> ourselves</c><00:21:48.279><c> a</c><00:21:48.500><c> community</c>

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:51.640
who<00:21:50.059><c> walk</c><00:21:50.359><c> after</c><00:21:50.700><c> God</c><00:21:50.960><c> with</c><00:21:51.140><c> righteousness.</c>

00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:56.359
We<00:21:52.380><c> follow</c><00:21:52.799><c> in</c><00:21:53.220><c> that</c><00:21:53.940><c> way,</c><00:21:54.700><c> that</c><00:21:54.880><c> high</c><00:21:55.180><c> and</c><00:21:55.339><c> holy</c><00:21:55.599><c> calling.</c>

00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:58.579
And<00:21:56.980><c> we</c><00:21:57.099><c> say,</c><00:21:57.660><c> well,</c><00:21:57.700><c> the</c><00:21:57.839><c> brothers</c><00:21:58.000><c> and</c><00:21:58.319><c> sisters,</c>

00:21:58.579 --> 00:22:01.960
perhaps<00:21:59.039><c> they</c><00:21:59.319><c> walk</c><00:21:59.680><c> because</c><00:22:00.400><c> they</c><00:22:00.779><c> have</c><00:22:00.960><c> the</c><00:22:01.200><c> angels</c><00:22:01.599><c> there.</c>

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:04.079
And<00:22:02.259><c> we</c><00:22:02.539><c> walk</c><00:22:02.839><c> unseen.</c>

00:22:04.140 --> 00:22:08.099
Our<00:22:04.539><c> faith</c><00:22:04.880><c> isn't</c><00:22:05.299><c> that</c><00:22:06.259><c> we</c><00:22:06.740><c> can</c><00:22:06.980><c> reach</c><00:22:07.259><c> out</c><00:22:07.480><c> and</c><00:22:07.619><c> touch</c><00:22:07.799><c> it,</c>

00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:09.059
but<00:22:08.319><c> it</c><00:22:08.440><c> has</c><00:22:08.660><c> to</c><00:22:08.799><c> be.</c>

00:22:09.460 --> 00:22:11.500
It<00:22:09.619><c> has</c><00:22:09.720><c> to</c><00:22:09.819><c> be</c><00:22:09.940><c> the</c><00:22:10.119><c> substance</c><00:22:10.619><c> and</c><00:22:10.880><c> the</c><00:22:11.160><c> evidence</c>

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:13.960
that<00:22:12.019><c> if</c><00:22:12.299><c> someone</c><00:22:12.640><c> said,</c><00:22:13.039><c> well,</c><00:22:13.059><c> show</c><00:22:13.180><c> me</c><00:22:13.380><c> the</c><00:22:13.539><c> evidence,</c>

00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.240
we'd<00:22:14.599><c> say,</c><00:22:15.240><c> well,</c><00:22:15.980><c> I</c><00:22:16.079><c> don't</c><00:22:16.160><c> know,</c><00:22:16.180><c> there's</c><00:22:16.359><c> an</c><00:22:16.519><c> MP3</c><00:22:16.980><c> player,</c>

00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:18.980
whatever<00:22:17.539><c> it</c><00:22:17.680><c> is,</c><00:22:17.700><c> there</c><00:22:17.940><c> it</c><00:22:18.160><c> is.</c>

00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:20.960
That's<00:22:19.660><c> the</c><00:22:19.859><c> evidence,</c><00:22:20.200><c> it's</c><00:22:20.440><c> right</c><00:22:20.700><c> there.</c>

00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:23.500
That's<00:22:21.500><c> how</c><00:22:21.779><c> real</c><00:22:22.039><c> our</c><00:22:22.380><c> faith</c><00:22:22.539><c> has</c><00:22:22.880><c> to</c><00:22:23.039><c> be.</c>

00:22:23.539 --> 00:22:29.940
So<00:22:23.880><c> real</c><00:22:24.240><c> that</c><00:22:26.980><c> anyone</c><00:22:28.059><c> seeing</c><00:22:28.559><c> us</c><00:22:28.940><c> would</c><00:22:29.339><c> recognize</c>

00:22:29.940 --> 00:22:32.940
that<00:22:30.220><c> we</c><00:22:30.400><c> are</c><00:22:30.599><c> driven</c><00:22:30.880><c> by</c><00:22:31.140><c> something</c><00:22:31.480><c> that</c><00:22:31.619><c> is</c><00:22:32.099><c> higher.</c>

00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.519
So<00:22:33.579><c> the</c><00:22:33.660><c> question</c><00:22:34.019><c> is,</c><00:22:35.200><c> did</c><00:22:35.440><c> our</c><00:22:35.720><c> brothers</c><00:22:35.960><c> and</c><00:22:36.220><c> sisters</c>

00:22:39.660 --> 00:22:40.900
Did<00:22:39.799><c> they</c><00:22:39.960><c> know</c><00:22:40.099><c> who</c><00:22:40.279><c> Jesus</c><00:22:40.660><c> was?</c>

00:22:41.019 --> 00:22:44.400
Or<00:22:41.059><c> was</c><00:22:41.240><c> it</c><00:22:41.380><c> just</c><00:22:41.559><c> kind</c><00:22:41.680><c> of</c><00:22:41.799><c> a</c><00:22:42.000><c> faith</c><00:22:42.180><c> that</c><00:22:42.759><c> God</c><00:22:43.099><c> said</c><00:22:43.279><c> to</c><00:22:43.519><c> Abraham,</c>

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:46.259
come<00:22:45.400><c> on,</c><00:22:45.640><c> I'll</c><00:22:45.759><c> throw</c><00:22:45.880><c> you</c><00:22:46.059><c> a</c><00:22:46.140><c> lamp,</c>

00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:48.319
and<00:22:46.460><c> Abraham</c><00:22:46.740><c> says,</c><00:22:47.220><c> all</c><00:22:47.220><c> right.</c>

00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:49.779
I<00:22:49.119><c> don't</c><00:22:49.240><c> know</c><00:22:49.359><c> where</c><00:22:49.380><c> I'm</c><00:22:49.500><c> going.</c>

00:22:49.779 --> 00:22:51.759

That's<00:25:22.339><c> just</c><00:25:22.599><c> a</c><00:25:22.599><c> small</c><00:25:22.900><c> voice,</c>

And<00:25:32.480><c> when</c><00:25:32.960><c> David</c><00:25:33.380><c> penned</c><00:25:34.140><c> those</c><00:25:34.359><c> words</c><00:25:34.740><c> of</c><00:25:34.960><c> Psalm</c><00:25:35.140><c> 110,</c>

00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:39.740
Now<00:30:37.220><c> we</c><00:30:37.319><c> put</c><00:30:37.559><c> it</c><00:30:38.079><c> again</c><00:30:38.400><c> in</c><00:30:38.599><c> the</c><00:30:38.740><c> English</c><00:30:39.019><c> Standard</c><00:30:39.359><c> Version</c>

00:30:52.140 --> 00:30:53.700
That's<00:30:52.319><c> the</c><00:30:52.500><c> plan</c><00:30:52.640><c> of</c><00:30:52.880><c> God.</c>

This<00:30:54.420><c> isn't</c><00:30:54.720><c> some</c><00:30:55.000><c> trick.</c>

00:30:55.940 --> 00:30:58.039
I<00:30:56.079><c> might</c><00:30:56.220><c> say</c><00:30:56.559><c> something</c><00:30:56.839><c> to</c><00:30:57.059><c> a</c><00:30:57.220><c> brother</c><00:30:57.440><c> or</c><00:30:57.619><c> sister,</c>

00:31:01.779 --> 00:31:02.539
That's<00:31:02.000><c> not</c><00:31:02.200><c> God.</c>

00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:04.299
God<00:31:03.299><c> said</c><00:31:03.799><c> to</c><00:31:03.980><c> his</c><00:31:04.079><c> angels,</c>

00:31:04.380 --> 00:31:06.640
I<00:31:04.420><c> want</c><00:31:04.599><c> you</c><00:31:04.759><c> to</c><00:31:04.900><c> work</c><00:31:05.160><c> in</c><00:31:05.380><c> their</c><00:31:05.700><c> lives.</c>

Your<00:31:07.079><c> charge</c><00:31:07.559><c> is</c><00:31:07.779><c> to</c><00:31:07.839><c> get</c><00:31:07.980><c> them</c><00:31:08.400><c> to</c><00:31:08.619><c> my</c><00:31:08.819><c> kingdom.</c>

00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:10.680
God<00:31:09.779><c> wants</c><00:31:10.119><c> us</c><00:31:10.400><c> there.</c>

00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:13.240
It's<00:31:11.380><c> us</c><00:31:11.680><c> who</c><00:31:11.940><c> turn</c><00:31:12.099><c> away,</c>

00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:15.500
and<00:31:13.359><c> we</c><00:31:13.559><c> get</c><00:31:13.700><c> consumed</c><00:31:14.240><c> with</c><00:31:14.440><c> the</c><00:31:14.579><c> things</c><00:31:14.720><c> of</c><00:31:14.900><c> the</c><00:31:15.079><c> world,</c>

00:31:15.900 --> 00:31:17.019
and<00:31:16.119><c> we</c><00:31:16.279><c> get</c><00:31:16.480><c> mixed</c><00:31:16.779><c> up,</c>

00:31:17.099 --> 00:31:19.599
and<00:31:17.160><c> our</c><00:31:17.359><c> focus</c><00:31:17.720><c> becomes</c><00:31:18.259><c> unfocused.</c>

00:31:19.900 --> 00:31:21.380
But<00:31:20.000><c> our</c><00:31:20.119><c> God</c><00:31:20.220><c> says,</c>

00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:24.640
it's<00:31:21.839><c> not</c><00:31:22.000><c> by</c><00:31:22.180><c> works</c><00:31:22.579><c> done</c><00:31:22.980><c> of</c><00:31:23.200><c> your</c><00:31:23.599><c> righteousness.</c>

00:31:25.339 --> 00:31:27.259
You<00:31:25.460><c> see</c><00:31:25.559><c> at</c><00:31:25.720><c> the</c><00:31:25.859><c> end</c><00:31:26.039><c> it</c><00:31:26.180><c> says</c>

00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:34.099
Now<00:31:31.019><c> we</c><00:31:31.180><c> want</c><00:31:31.400><c> to</c><00:31:31.599><c> take</c><00:31:31.880><c> stock</c><00:31:32.299><c> in</c><00:31:32.619><c> our</c><00:31:33.200><c> lives.</c>

00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:37.619
Our<00:31:35.240><c> God</c><00:31:35.460><c> has</c><00:31:35.680><c> called</c><00:31:35.819><c> us</c><00:31:36.019><c> to</c><00:31:36.200><c> a</c><00:31:36.339><c> high</c><00:31:36.440><c> and</c><00:31:36.539><c> holy</c><00:31:36.799><c> calling.</c>

00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:39.500
We've<00:31:38.559><c> established</c><00:31:38.940><c> that,</c>

00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:44.720
But<00:31:42.279><c> if</c><00:31:42.400><c> we</c><00:31:42.519><c> were</c><00:31:42.680><c> to</c><00:31:42.779><c> sit</c><00:31:42.960><c> down</c><00:31:43.259><c> and</c><00:31:43.460><c> we</c><00:31:43.500><c> were</c><00:31:43.640><c> to</c><00:31:43.859><c> list</c><00:31:44.160><c> out</c>

00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:55.119
You<00:31:53.440><c> might</c><00:31:53.640><c> be</c><00:31:53.799><c> pretty</c><00:31:54.019><c> shocked.</c>

00:31:56.220 --> 00:31:57.019
Because<00:31:56.359><c> our</c><00:31:56.539><c> God</c><00:31:56.759><c> has</c><00:31:56.920><c> said,</c>

00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:55.679
But<00:35:54.440><c> we</c><00:35:54.599><c> never</c><00:35:54.860><c> want</c><00:35:55.079><c> to</c><00:35:55.199><c> forget</c>
