All<00:01:02.880><c> these</c><00:01:03.100><c> are</c><00:01:03.280><c> vital</c><00:01:03.679><c> prayers.</c><00:01:04.040><c> They're</c><00:01:04.040><c> not</c><00:01:04.219><c> the</c><00:01:04.359><c> only</c><00:01:04.620><c> prayers</c><00:01:04.879><c> that</c><00:01:05.079><c> Luke</c><00:01:05.319><c> recorded,</c><00:01:06.319><c> but</c>

00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:07.900
they're<00:01:06.599><c> very</c><00:01:06.959><c> vital.</c>

00:01:08.299 --> 00:01:11.920
Luke<00:01:08.540><c> records</c><00:01:09.000><c> that</c><00:01:09.180><c> he</c><00:01:09.239><c> went</c><00:01:09.400><c> out</c><00:01:09.560><c> into</c><00:01:09.700><c> the</c><00:01:09.859><c> wilderness</c><00:01:10.180><c> alone</c><00:01:10.819><c> to</c><00:01:11.120><c> pray.</c>

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:17.599
Luke<00:01:12.920><c> also</c><00:01:13.420><c> says</c><00:01:13.739><c> that</c><00:01:14.239><c> before</c><00:01:14.700><c> appointing</c><00:01:15.219><c> the</c><00:01:15.420><c> twelve</c><00:01:15.680><c> apostles,</c><00:01:16.260><c> he</c><00:01:16.680><c> prayed.</c>

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:31.819
And<00:01:27.579><c> we</c><00:01:27.640><c> know</c><00:01:27.920><c> that</c><00:01:28.140><c> Luke</c><00:01:28.319><c> also</c><00:01:28.780><c> says</c><00:01:29.099><c> that</c><00:01:29.599><c> during</c><00:01:29.900><c> the</c><00:01:30.200><c> transfiguration,</c><00:01:31.739><c> the</c>

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:40.620
And<00:01:36.299><c> so</c><00:01:36.480><c> it</c><00:01:36.640><c> is</c><00:01:36.780><c> Luke,</c><00:01:37.159><c> brethren</c><00:01:37.480><c> and</c><00:01:37.840><c> sisters,</c><00:01:38.200><c> above</c><00:01:38.439><c> all</c><00:01:38.700><c> the</c><00:01:38.920><c> others,</c><00:01:39.840><c> that</c><00:01:40.140><c> goes</c><00:01:40.439><c> to</c>

00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:48.379
Not<00:01:45.900><c> surprising,</c><00:01:46.920><c> therefore,</c><00:01:46.920><c> that</c><00:01:47.120><c> we</c><00:01:47.260><c> find</c><00:01:47.659><c> this</c><00:01:47.980><c> record</c>

Lord,<00:12:59.080><c> teach</c><00:12:59.480><c> us</c><00:12:59.980><c> to</c><00:13:00.220><c> pray.</c>

00:13:02.059 --> 00:13:04.059
And<00:13:02.139><c> therefore,</c><00:13:02.580><c> brethren</c><00:13:02.779><c> and</c><00:13:03.059><c> sisters,</c><00:13:03.320><c> the</c><00:13:03.379><c> question</c><00:13:03.799><c> was</c>

00:13:04.059 --> 00:13:05.480
solicited<00:13:04.519><c> from</c><00:13:04.759><c> him</c>

00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:14.360
Now,<00:13:10.299><c> it's</c><00:13:10.500><c> fairly</c><00:13:10.720><c> obvious</c><00:13:11.480><c> that</c><00:13:12.399><c> that</c><00:13:12.899><c> little</c><00:13:13.500><c> phrase</c><00:13:13.820><c> dropped</c><00:13:14.159><c> in</c>

00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:24.759
And<00:21:20.839><c> so</c><00:21:21.119><c> the</c><00:21:21.440><c> prayer,</c><00:21:21.839><c> whatever</c><00:21:22.359><c> it</c><00:21:22.859><c> might</c><00:21:23.059><c> be</c><00:21:24.059><c> said</c><00:21:24.279><c> in</c><00:21:24.559><c> the</c>

00:21:31.700 --> 00:21:36.279
God<00:21:31.960><c> is</c><00:21:32.299><c> marvelous,</c><00:21:32.859><c> God</c><00:21:33.059><c> is</c><00:21:33.400><c> great,</c><00:21:33.640><c> and</c><00:21:33.779><c> we</c><00:21:34.000><c> have</c><00:21:34.240><c> a</c><00:21:34.380><c> desperate</c><00:21:34.980><c> need</c><00:21:35.220><c> of</c><00:21:35.400><c> Him.</c>

00:21:53.140 --> 00:21:56.359
And<00:21:53.380><c> so</c><00:21:53.660><c> the</c><00:21:54.059><c> prayer</c><00:21:54.420><c> is</c><00:21:54.940><c> repeated</c><00:21:55.400><c> here.</c>

That's<00:22:29.059><c> the</c><00:22:29.240><c> point.</c>

00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:33.500
Persistence.

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:36.079
Ah,<00:22:34.579><c> but</c><00:22:34.700><c> brethren</c><00:22:34.920><c> and</c><00:22:35.180><c> sisters,</c>

00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:54.880
God<00:22:53.579><c> is</c><00:22:53.940><c> so</c><00:22:54.180><c> much</c><00:22:54.420><c> greater.</c>

00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:58.700

Now,<00:23:12.859><c> this</c><00:23:13.039><c> contrast</c><00:23:13.579><c> comes</c><00:23:13.859><c> out</c><00:23:14.039><c> very</c><00:23:14.440><c> powerfully</c>

00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:19.359

But<00:23:33.900><c> the</c><00:23:34.059><c> problem</c><00:23:34.420><c> here,</c><00:23:34.839><c> brethren</c><00:23:34.980><c> and</c><00:23:35.240><c> sisters,</c><00:23:35.480><c> was</c><00:23:35.720><c> not</c>

00:23:39.859 --> 00:23:41.980

00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:43.599
That's<00:23:42.480><c> the</c><00:23:42.680><c> problem.</c>

00:23:44.420 --> 00:23:46.660
Now,<00:23:44.579><c> this</c><00:23:44.779><c> disciple</c><00:23:45.220><c> would</c><00:23:45.440><c> have</c><00:23:45.579><c> had</c><00:23:45.720><c> not</c><00:23:45.859><c> a</c><00:23:46.059><c> problem</c><00:23:46.380><c> in</c>

00:23:48.299 --> 00:23:51.519
He<00:23:48.779><c> would</c><00:23:48.980><c> have</c><00:23:49.140><c> had</c><00:23:49.299><c> a</c><00:23:49.359><c> problem</c><00:23:49.680><c> in</c><00:23:49.960><c> the</c><00:23:50.339><c> application.</c>

00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:55.299
And<00:23:53.019><c> so</c><00:23:53.140><c> this</c><00:23:53.339><c> is</c><00:23:53.519><c> where</c><00:23:53.740><c> the</c><00:23:53.960><c> emphasis</c><00:23:54.279><c> comes,</c>

00:23:55.859 --> 00:23:57.980
the<00:23:56.039><c> abbreviation</c><00:23:56.619><c> of</c><00:23:56.779><c> the</c><00:23:56.960><c> words,</c>

00:24:04.019 --> 00:24:06.240
Now,<00:24:04.160><c> we</c><00:24:04.259><c> look</c><00:24:04.400><c> at</c><00:24:04.539><c> verse</c><00:24:04.720><c> 5.</c>

00:24:07.099 --> 00:24:11.000
And<00:24:07.180><c> he</c><00:24:07.339><c> said</c><00:24:07.519><c> unto</c><00:24:07.819><c> them,</c><00:24:08.920><c> so</c><00:24:09.240><c> now</c><00:24:09.400><c> we've</c><00:24:09.579><c> got</c><00:24:09.740><c> a</c><00:24:09.920><c> crowd</c><00:24:10.099><c> listening.</c>

00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:13.819
Only<00:24:11.480><c> one</c><00:24:11.740><c> disciple</c><00:24:12.160><c> asked</c><00:24:12.599><c> him</c><00:24:12.819><c> about</c><00:24:13.240><c> how</c><00:24:13.500><c> to</c><00:24:13.700><c> pray,</c>

00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:15.480
but<00:24:13.960><c> they've</c><00:24:14.180><c> all</c><00:24:14.319><c> come</c><00:24:14.539><c> around</c><00:24:14.819><c> to</c><00:24:15.059><c> listen.</c>

00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.319
So<00:24:16.079><c> he's</c><00:24:16.279><c> got</c><00:24:16.440><c> a</c><00:24:16.619><c> crowd</c><00:24:16.839><c> now.</c>

00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.700
And<00:24:18.500><c> he</c><00:24:18.559><c> says,</c><00:24:19.140><c> which</c><00:24:19.220><c> of</c><00:24:19.500><c> you</c><00:24:20.359><c> shall</c><00:24:21.299><c> have</c><00:24:21.559><c> a</c><00:24:21.839><c> friend?</c>

00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:25.640
Now,<00:24:24.200><c> this</c><00:24:24.359><c> is</c><00:24:24.579><c> interesting.</c>

00:24:26.220 --> 00:24:28.240

And<00:26:05.680><c> so</c><00:26:05.880><c> you</c><00:26:06.000><c> see,</c><00:26:06.400><c> therefore</c><00:26:06.740><c> it's</c><00:26:06.859><c> not</c><00:26:07.119><c> the</c><00:26:07.400><c> words</c><00:26:07.819><c> that's</c>

00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:09.319
the<00:26:08.240><c> problem,</c>

00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:13.000
it's<00:26:10.140><c> the</c><00:26:10.339><c> application</c><00:26:11.059><c> of</c><00:26:11.440><c> the</c><00:26:11.619><c> individual</c><00:26:12.039><c> to</c><00:26:12.279><c> prayer</c>

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:16.359
according<00:26:13.759><c> as</c><00:26:14.019><c> he</c><00:26:14.279><c> understands</c><00:26:15.259><c> God.</c>

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:19.940
But<00:26:17.380><c> if</c><00:26:17.500><c> he</c><00:26:17.680><c> sees</c><00:26:17.980><c> God</c><00:26:18.259><c> like</c><00:26:18.480><c> he's</c><00:26:18.700><c> best</c><00:26:19.019><c> friend,</c><00:26:19.460><c> he's</c><00:26:19.660><c> made</c><00:26:19.819><c> a</c>

00:26:19.940 --> 00:26:21.200
big<00:26:20.140><c> mistake</c>

00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:25.359
because<00:26:22.460><c> God</c><00:26:22.799><c> is</c><00:26:23.039><c> greater</c><00:26:23.539><c> than</c><00:26:23.960><c> his</c><00:26:24.160><c> best</c><00:26:24.460><c> friend.</c>

00:26:26.660 --> 00:26:28.259
And<00:26:26.960><c> that's</c><00:26:27.180><c> why,</c><00:26:27.599><c> brothers</c><00:26:27.740><c> and</c><00:26:28.000><c> sisters,</c>

00:26:28.380 --> 00:26:31.140
this<00:26:28.799><c> little</c><00:26:29.119><c> parable</c><00:26:29.519><c> as</c><00:26:29.619><c> it</c><00:26:29.759><c> might</c><00:26:29.940><c> be</c><00:26:30.200><c> called</c><00:26:30.339><c> was</c><00:26:30.599><c> given</c>

00:26:31.140 --> 00:26:34.059
because<00:26:31.900><c> we</c><00:26:32.140><c> might</c><00:26:32.440><c> have</c><00:26:32.700><c> some</c><00:26:33.099><c> gauge</c><00:26:33.420><c> and</c><00:26:33.720><c> measure</c>

00:26:34.059 --> 00:26:36.279
as<00:26:34.319><c> to</c><00:26:34.460><c> how</c><00:26:34.640><c> great</c><00:26:34.960><c> God's</c><00:26:35.440><c> friendship</c><00:26:35.720><c> is</c>

00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:38.319
when<00:26:36.619><c> we</c><00:26:36.740><c> see</c><00:26:37.019><c> that</c><00:26:37.220><c> it's</c><00:26:37.579><c> way</c><00:26:37.759><c> and</c><00:26:37.960><c> above</c>

00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:42.339
the<00:26:38.940><c> very</c><00:26:39.380><c> warm</c><00:26:39.680><c> and</c><00:26:39.839><c> lovely</c><00:26:40.200><c> friendship</c><00:26:40.599><c> we</c><00:26:40.779><c> have</c><00:26:40.920><c> for</c><00:26:41.140><c> each</c><00:26:41.380><c> other.</c>

00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:44.579
But<00:26:42.660><c> God's</c><00:26:43.099><c> friendship</c><00:26:43.339><c> is</c><00:26:43.619><c> greater.</c>

00:26:44.660 --> 00:26:48.039
As<00:26:44.980><c> we'll</c><00:26:45.359><c> weaken,</c><00:26:46.000><c> it'll</c><00:26:46.319><c> break</c><00:26:46.680><c> down</c><00:26:47.000><c> in</c><00:26:47.279><c> circumstances.</c>

00:26:48.299 --> 00:26:49.940
God's<00:26:48.720><c> never</c><00:26:49.019><c> will.</c>

00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:52.539
That's<00:26:50.640><c> the</c><00:26:50.819><c> point</c><00:26:51.019><c> he</c><00:26:51.140><c> wants</c><00:26:51.400><c> to</c><00:26:51.660><c> make.</c>

00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:55.059
And<00:26:53.400><c> as</c><00:26:53.619><c> I</c><00:26:53.700><c> say,</c><00:26:53.839><c> as</c><00:26:53.900><c> he</c><00:26:54.039><c> talks</c><00:26:54.319><c> about</c><00:26:54.559><c> this</c><00:26:54.839><c> matter,</c>

00:26:55.339 --> 00:26:56.920
if<00:26:55.619><c> this</c><00:26:55.900><c> man</c><00:26:56.059><c> was</c><00:26:56.220><c> one</c><00:26:56.380><c> of</c><00:26:56.500><c> the</c><00:26:56.680><c> 70,</c>

00:26:57.019 --> 00:27:00.220
he<00:26:57.299><c> would</c><00:26:57.579><c> know</c><00:26:57.880><c> about</c><00:26:58.200><c> going</c><00:26:58.519><c> to</c><00:26:58.839><c> friends</c><00:26:59.059><c> and</c><00:26:59.259><c> knocking</c><00:26:59.559><c> on</c><00:26:59.900><c> doors</c>

00:27:00.220 --> 00:27:01.880
and<00:27:00.759><c> when</c><00:27:00.779><c> he</c><00:27:00.900><c> went</c><00:27:01.119><c> around</c><00:27:01.519><c> preaching,</c>

00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:04.119
he<00:27:02.039><c> wouldn't</c><00:27:02.259><c> have</c><00:27:02.460><c> been</c><00:27:02.640><c> without</c><00:27:03.019><c> contacts</c><00:27:03.480><c> through</c><00:27:03.720><c> the</c><00:27:03.920><c> land</c>

00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:05.759
and<00:27:04.420><c> he</c><00:27:04.500><c> would</c><00:27:04.640><c> have</c><00:27:04.759><c> gone</c><00:27:04.980><c> to</c><00:27:05.099><c> this</c><00:27:05.299><c> person</c><00:27:05.539><c> thinking,</c>

00:27:05.779 --> 00:27:06.900
well,<00:27:05.940><c> he'll</c><00:27:06.259><c> take</c><00:27:06.480><c> me</c><00:27:06.720><c> in.</c>

00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:09.019
And<00:27:07.200><c> he</c><00:27:07.319><c> would</c><00:27:07.440><c> have</c><00:27:07.599><c> been</c><00:27:07.839><c> disillusioned</c>

00:27:09.019 --> 00:27:11.920
at<00:27:09.119><c> some</c><00:27:09.319><c> of</c><00:27:09.480><c> the</c><00:27:09.700><c> things</c><00:27:09.960><c> that</c><00:27:10.220><c> happened</c><00:27:10.359><c> to</c><00:27:10.539><c> him</c><00:27:10.640><c> on</c><00:27:10.839><c> that</c><00:27:11.059><c> tour.</c>

00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:14.160
And<00:27:12.500><c> it</c><00:27:12.680><c> could</c><00:27:12.799><c> have</c><00:27:13.000><c> reacted,</c><00:27:13.420><c> as</c><00:27:13.619><c> I</c><00:27:13.839><c> say,</c>

00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:15.799
in<00:27:14.480><c> his</c><00:27:14.680><c> thinking</c><00:27:14.980><c> about</c><00:27:15.339><c> God.</c>

00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:17.220
Why<00:27:16.160><c> did</c><00:27:16.420><c> God</c><00:27:16.680><c> allow</c><00:27:16.880><c> that</c><00:27:17.059><c> to</c><00:27:17.140><c> happen?</c>

00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:18.480
Didn't<00:27:17.660><c> Christ</c><00:27:18.000><c> send</c><00:27:18.200><c> me?</c>

00:27:18.700 --> 00:27:20.140
Didn't<00:27:18.859><c> the</c><00:27:19.059><c> Lord</c><00:27:19.200><c> send</c><00:27:19.400><c> me</c><00:27:19.539><c> on</c><00:27:19.660><c> this</c><00:27:19.940><c> work?</c>

00:27:20.299 --> 00:27:22.079
Then<00:27:20.519><c> why</c><00:27:20.839><c> should</c><00:27:21.039><c> people</c><00:27:21.359><c> take</c><00:27:21.660><c> that</c><00:27:21.839><c> attitude?</c>

00:27:22.220 --> 00:27:25.720
Why<00:27:22.480><c> should</c><00:27:22.700><c> not</c><00:27:23.460><c> my</c><00:27:23.779><c> path</c><00:27:24.019><c> be</c><00:27:24.640><c> rosy</c><00:27:25.099><c> and</c><00:27:25.380><c> smooth?</c>

00:27:25.900 --> 00:27:28.039
Because<00:27:26.220><c> I'm</c><00:27:26.400><c> on</c><00:27:26.500><c> the</c><00:27:26.680><c> Lord's</c><00:27:27.119><c> work.</c>

00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:31.799
And<00:27:28.599><c> he'd</c><00:27:28.880><c> reflect</c><00:27:29.400><c> badly</c><00:27:29.859><c> upon</c><00:27:30.200><c> the</c><00:27:30.339><c> one</c><00:27:30.500><c> that</c><00:27:30.640><c> had</c><00:27:30.839><c> sent</c><00:27:30.980><c> him,</c>

00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:34.500
if<00:27:32.140><c> that</c><00:27:32.460><c> is,</c><00:27:32.640><c> if</c><00:27:32.720><c> he</c><00:27:32.779><c> didn't</c><00:27:33.019><c> think</c><00:27:33.279><c> about</c><00:27:33.539><c> it.</c>

00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:36.519
Well,<00:27:34.960><c> he's</c><00:27:35.160><c> got</c><00:27:35.319><c> this</c><00:27:35.599><c> friend,</c>

00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:39.960
so<00:27:37.059><c> you</c><00:27:37.200><c> go</c><00:27:37.380><c> to</c><00:27:37.500><c> him</c><00:27:38.279><c> at</c><00:27:39.039><c> midnight.</c>

00:27:41.539 --> 00:27:42.740
And<00:27:41.859><c> that,</c><00:27:42.099><c> brethren</c><00:27:42.319><c> and</c><00:27:42.599><c> sisters,</c>

00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:46.660
is<00:27:43.000><c> a</c><00:27:43.019><c> most</c><00:27:44.339><c> inopportune</c><00:27:45.079><c> time,</c><00:27:45.579><c> isn't</c><00:27:45.779><c> it?</c>

00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:49.940
There<00:27:47.839><c> are</c><00:27:48.160><c> brethren</c><00:27:48.500><c> who</c><00:27:49.400><c> must</c><00:27:49.779><c> think,</c>

00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:51.420
I'm<00:27:50.180><c> a</c><00:27:50.259><c> wonderful</c><00:27:50.740><c> friend</c>

00:27:51.420 --> 00:27:54.740
because<00:27:52.019><c> I</c><00:27:52.279><c> get</c><00:27:52.460><c> calls</c><00:27:52.880><c> at</c><00:27:53.160><c> midnight</c><00:27:53.700><c> and</c><00:27:54.180><c> beyond.</c>

00:27:54.740 --> 00:27:58.200
I<00:27:55.539><c> might</c><00:27:56.420><c> add</c><00:27:56.779><c> that</c><00:27:57.119><c> it</c><00:27:57.460><c> aggravates</c><00:27:57.920><c> a</c><00:27:58.039><c> little,</c>

00:27:58.460 --> 00:28:00.079
but<00:27:58.519><c> you</c><00:27:58.720><c> accept</c><00:27:59.079><c> that.</c>

00:28:00.180 --> 00:28:01.279
But<00:28:00.180><c> there</c><00:28:00.500><c> we</c><00:28:00.720><c> are,</c><00:28:00.900><c> you</c><00:28:01.079><c> see?</c>

00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:02.859
Very<00:28:01.759><c> opportune,</c><00:28:02.440><c> isn't</c><00:28:02.519><c> it?</c>

00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:04.220
Midnight.

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:05.859
And<00:28:04.599><c> what</c><00:28:04.720><c> does</c><00:28:04.819><c> he</c><00:28:05.000><c> say?</c>

00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:08.660
He<00:28:06.319><c> says</c><00:28:06.519><c> under</c><00:28:06.720><c> him,</c><00:28:07.700><c> friend.</c>

00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:12.359
So<00:28:10.559><c> he</c><00:28:10.759><c> addresses</c><00:28:11.119><c> him</c><00:28:11.619><c> as</c><00:28:12.039><c> friend.</c>

00:28:12.740 --> 00:28:14.440
And<00:28:12.920><c> in</c><00:28:13.019><c> that,</c><00:28:13.559><c> brethren</c><00:28:13.559><c> and</c><00:28:13.799><c> sisters,</c>

00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:16.299
he<00:28:14.819><c> would</c><00:28:15.119><c> be,</c><00:28:15.339><c> of</c><00:28:15.539><c> course,</c>

00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:20.559
anticipating<00:28:16.640><c> a</c><00:28:17.279><c> friendly</c><00:28:17.720><c> response,</c><00:28:20.019><c> wouldn't</c><00:28:20.279><c> you?</c>

00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:22.660
If<00:28:21.119><c> you</c><00:28:21.259><c> call</c><00:28:21.500><c> a</c><00:28:21.700><c> person</c><00:28:21.980><c> friend,</c>

00:28:22.660 --> 00:28:26.339
you<00:28:23.519><c> anticipate</c><00:28:24.440><c> a</c><00:28:24.880><c> friendly</c><00:28:25.539><c> response.</c>

00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:29.480
When<00:28:26.819><c> the</c><00:28:27.099><c> delayed</c><00:28:27.720><c> reaction</c><00:28:28.240><c> came,</c>

00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.039
there<00:28:30.619><c> would</c><00:28:30.759><c> have</c><00:28:30.900><c> been</c><00:28:30.960><c> a</c><00:28:30.960><c> big</c><00:28:31.220><c> disappointment</c><00:28:31.700><c> in</c><00:28:31.900><c> that.</c>

00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.359
Now,<00:28:33.720><c> you</c><00:28:33.759><c> look</c><00:28:33.960><c> at</c><00:28:34.339><c> Exodus</c><00:28:34.759><c> 33</c><00:28:35.640><c> and</c><00:28:35.839><c> verse</c><00:28:36.039><c> 11.</c>

00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:38.059
Keep<00:28:36.599><c> your</c><00:28:36.740><c> hand</c><00:28:36.940><c> in</c><00:28:37.059><c> Luke</c><00:28:37.299><c> 11,</c><00:28:37.619><c> of</c><00:28:37.720><c> course,</c>

00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:40.519
because<00:28:38.460><c> that's</c><00:28:39.440><c> our</c><00:28:39.859><c> major</c><00:28:40.180><c> record.</c>

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:44.539
And<00:28:40.819><c> we</c><00:28:41.039><c> come</c><00:28:41.220><c> back</c><00:28:41.519><c> to</c><00:28:41.779><c> Exodus</c><00:28:42.220><c> 33</c><00:28:42.900><c> and</c><00:28:43.119><c> verse</c><00:28:43.440><c> 11.</c>

00:28:45.420 --> 00:28:48.539
There's<00:28:45.920><c> no</c><00:28:46.140><c> difficulty</c><00:28:46.599><c> here,</c><00:28:47.059><c> brethren</c><00:28:47.279><c> and</c><00:28:47.559><c> sisters.</c>

00:28:50.220 --> 00:28:52.380
In<00:28:50.779><c> the</c><00:28:51.039><c> 33rd</c><00:28:51.619><c> chapter</c><00:28:51.900><c> of</c><00:28:52.140><c> Exodus,</c>

00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:54.559
it's<00:28:52.619><c> a</c><00:28:52.700><c> very</c><00:28:53.059><c> tragic</c><00:28:53.440><c> time</c><00:28:53.720><c> in</c><00:28:53.880><c> Israel's</c><00:28:54.380><c> history</c>

00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:56.539
when<00:28:54.819><c> Yahweh</c><00:28:55.079><c> turned</c><00:28:55.359><c> his</c><00:28:55.579><c> back</c><00:28:55.759><c> upon</c><00:28:56.019><c> his</c><00:28:56.240><c> people</c>

00:28:56.539 --> 00:29:00.039
and<00:28:56.960><c> he</c><00:28:57.140><c> took</c><00:28:57.420><c> the</c><00:28:58.039><c> tent</c><00:28:58.140><c> of</c><00:28:58.299><c> the</c><00:28:58.460><c> meeting</c><00:28:58.660><c> outside</c><00:28:59.240><c> the</c><00:28:59.519><c> camp.</c>

00:29:00.500 --> 00:29:01.839
And<00:29:00.619><c> Moses</c><00:29:00.819><c> had</c><00:29:01.000><c> to</c><00:29:01.099><c> go</c><00:29:01.200><c> out</c><00:29:01.500><c> there.</c>

00:29:01.980 --> 00:29:03.200
What<00:29:02.279><c> for?</c>

00:29:03.380 --> 00:29:05.779
Well,<00:29:03.539><c> verse</c><00:29:03.819><c> 11</c><00:29:04.160><c> says</c><00:29:04.500><c> of</c><00:29:04.660><c> Exodus</c><00:29:05.000><c> 33,</c>

00:29:05.900 --> 00:29:08.440
and<00:29:06.019><c> Yahweh</c><00:29:06.460><c> spake</c><00:29:06.799><c> unto</c><00:29:07.019><c> Moses</c><00:29:07.440><c> face</c><00:29:07.819><c> to</c><00:29:08.000><c> face</c>

00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:11.880
as<00:29:08.839><c> a</c><00:29:09.039><c> man</c><00:29:10.059><c> speaketh</c><00:29:10.500><c> unto</c><00:29:10.680><c> his</c><00:29:10.960><c> friend.</c>

00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:15.920
Oh,<00:29:12.920><c> but</c><00:29:13.099><c> friends</c><00:29:13.359><c> don't</c><00:29:13.680><c> always</c><00:29:14.079><c> do</c><00:29:14.440><c> that,</c><00:29:14.680><c> do</c><00:29:14.980><c> they?</c>

00:29:17.180 --> 00:29:19.960
You<00:29:17.619><c> see,</c><00:29:18.480><c> there</c><00:29:18.519><c> are</c><00:29:18.720><c> times</c><00:29:19.019><c> they</c><00:29:19.240><c> do,</c>

00:29:20.779 --> 00:29:24.140
and<00:29:20.880><c> Moses</c><00:29:21.240><c> was</c><00:29:21.480><c> there</c><00:29:21.859><c> speaking</c><00:29:22.180><c> to</c><00:29:22.500><c> Yahweh</c><00:29:23.000><c> face</c><00:29:23.579><c> to</c><00:29:23.759><c> face</c>

00:29:24.140 --> 00:29:25.740
as<00:29:24.359><c> a</c><00:29:24.480><c> man</c><00:29:24.700><c> speaks</c><00:29:25.000><c> to</c><00:29:25.119><c> his</c><00:29:25.339><c> friend.</c>

00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:29.460
And<00:29:26.440><c> that's</c><00:29:26.559><c> what</c><00:29:26.740><c> you</c><00:29:26.900><c> do</c><00:29:27.059><c> with</c><00:29:27.259><c> your</c><00:29:27.480><c> friend,</c><00:29:27.740><c> but</c><00:29:27.940><c> not</c><00:29:28.240><c> always.</c>

00:29:30.579 --> 00:29:32.420
This<00:29:30.740><c> is</c><00:29:30.900><c> the</c><00:29:31.059><c> Lord's</c><00:29:31.519><c> point.</c>

00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:35.079
And<00:29:32.640><c> so</c><00:29:32.720><c> we've</c><00:29:32.940><c> got</c><00:29:33.099><c> a</c><00:29:33.220><c> measure</c><00:29:33.460><c> here</c><00:29:33.839><c> of</c><00:29:34.099><c> two</c><00:29:34.359><c> things,</c>

00:29:35.660 --> 00:29:37.880
that<00:29:35.779><c> in</c><00:29:35.900><c> the</c><00:29:36.099><c> friendship</c><00:29:36.400><c> we</c><00:29:36.579><c> have</c><00:29:36.759><c> for</c><00:29:36.980><c> each</c><00:29:37.220><c> other,</c>

00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:40.460
that<00:29:38.500><c> there</c><00:29:38.640><c> is,</c><00:29:38.859><c> of</c><00:29:38.940><c> course,</c><00:29:39.160><c> a</c><00:29:39.259><c> wonderful</c><00:29:39.700><c> glow</c><00:29:40.079><c> in</c><00:29:40.279><c> that,</c>

00:29:40.579 --> 00:29:42.440
and<00:29:40.819><c> we</c><00:29:41.000><c> can</c><00:29:41.200><c> relate</c><00:29:41.480><c> that</c><00:29:41.640><c> to</c><00:29:41.799><c> God</c><00:29:42.079><c> and</c><00:29:42.299><c> say,</c>

00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:44.819
what<00:29:42.619><c> a</c><00:29:42.779><c> wonderful</c><00:29:43.160><c> friend</c><00:29:43.440><c> we</c><00:29:43.700><c> have</c><00:29:43.819><c> in</c><00:29:43.960><c> our</c><00:29:44.079><c> Heavenly</c><00:29:44.420><c> Father,</c>

00:29:44.819 --> 00:29:49.299
because<00:29:45.299><c> He's</c><00:29:45.700><c> like</c><00:29:45.980><c> our</c><00:29:46.220><c> friend</c><00:29:46.500><c> here,</c><00:29:47.539><c> and</c><00:29:47.819><c> that's</c><00:29:48.039><c> good.</c>

00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:52.160
And<00:29:49.720><c> we</c><00:29:49.759><c> can</c><00:29:49.920><c> go</c><00:29:50.119><c> to</c><00:29:50.240><c> that</c><00:29:50.480><c> friend</c><00:29:50.759><c> and</c><00:29:50.880><c> talk</c><00:29:51.160><c> to</c><00:29:51.279><c> him</c><00:29:51.480><c> face</c><00:29:51.779><c> to</c><00:29:51.940><c> face,</c>

00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:54.299
and<00:29:52.259><c> that</c><00:29:52.420><c> should</c><00:29:52.640><c> encourage</c><00:29:53.059><c> us</c><00:29:53.259><c> to</c><00:29:53.359><c> go</c><00:29:53.500><c> to</c><00:29:53.559><c> God</c><00:29:53.779><c> likewise</c>

00:29:54.299 --> 00:29:55.680
and<00:29:54.440><c> talk</c><00:29:54.700><c> to</c><00:29:54.740><c> him</c><00:29:54.940><c> face</c><00:29:55.240><c> to</c><00:29:55.380><c> face.</c>

00:29:55.980 --> 00:29:57.759
But<00:29:56.099><c> there</c><00:29:56.299><c> are</c><00:29:56.380><c> some</c><00:29:56.539><c> times</c><00:29:56.720><c> when</c><00:29:56.880><c> our</c><00:29:57.079><c> friends</c><00:29:57.220><c> don't</c><00:29:57.460><c> talk</c>

00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:00.420
to<00:29:57.920><c> us</c><00:29:58.460><c> face</c><00:29:58.880><c> to</c><00:29:59.059><c> face,</c>

00:30:00.700 --> 00:30:02.539
and<00:30:01.140><c> then</c><00:30:01.259><c> we</c><00:30:01.339><c> get</c><00:30:01.519><c> disappointed.</c>

00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:05.720
We<00:30:03.859><c> mustn't</c><00:30:04.180><c> carry</c><00:30:04.500><c> that</c><00:30:04.680><c> over,</c><00:30:05.059><c> brethren</c><00:30:05.319><c> and</c><00:30:05.720><c> sisters,</c>

00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:08.839
and<00:30:06.000><c> think</c><00:30:06.740><c> that</c><00:30:07.180><c> there</c><00:30:07.319><c> are</c><00:30:07.460><c> times</c><00:30:07.640><c> when</c><00:30:07.799><c> God</c><00:30:08.000><c> turns</c><00:30:08.339><c> away</c><00:30:08.579><c> too,</c>

00:30:08.859 --> 00:30:11.319
because<00:30:09.079><c> He</c><00:30:09.240><c> doesn't.</c>

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:13.720
And<00:30:11.920><c> so</c><00:30:12.019><c> you</c><00:30:12.160><c> see</c><00:30:12.319><c> the</c><00:30:12.420><c> measure</c><00:30:12.700><c> that</c><00:30:12.819><c> you're</c><00:30:12.980><c> getting,</c>

00:30:13.839 --> 00:30:17.640
it's<00:30:14.359><c> both</c><00:30:14.599><c> positive</c><00:30:15.119><c> and</c><00:30:16.380><c> it's</c><00:30:16.660><c> negative.</c>

00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:20.059
And<00:30:17.839><c> that's</c><00:30:18.079><c> the</c><00:30:18.220><c> intention</c><00:30:18.619><c> of</c><00:30:18.799><c> our</c><00:30:18.920><c> Lord</c><00:30:19.119><c> Jesus</c><00:30:19.559><c> Christ</c><00:30:19.920><c> in</c>

00:30:20.059 --> 00:30:21.759
this<00:30:20.279><c> little</c><00:30:20.740><c> parable.</c>

00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:24.720
You<00:30:22.319><c> know,</c><00:30:22.480><c> as</c><00:30:22.660><c> He</c><00:30:22.799><c> runs</c><00:30:23.079><c> through</c><00:30:23.339><c> this</c><00:30:23.539><c> little</c><00:30:23.799><c> parable,</c>

00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:28.000
all<00:30:25.440><c> the</c><00:30:25.619><c> negatives</c><00:30:25.819><c> come</c><00:30:26.140><c> out,</c><00:30:27.039><c> and</c><00:30:27.200><c> it</c><00:30:27.380><c> suggests</c><00:30:27.859><c> to</c><00:30:27.980><c> you</c>

00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:30.259
that<00:30:28.200><c> this</c><00:30:28.420><c> is</c><00:30:28.579><c> what</c><00:30:28.900><c> we</c><00:30:29.140><c> may</c><00:30:29.319><c> think</c><00:30:29.599><c> about</c><00:30:29.880><c> God,</c>

00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:33.119
and<00:30:30.720><c> we</c><00:30:30.859><c> don't</c><00:30:31.039><c> get</c><00:30:31.299><c> to</c><00:30:31.420><c> God's</c><00:30:31.859><c> true</c><00:30:32.079><c> character</c><00:30:32.599><c> until</c><00:30:32.859><c> about</c>

verse<00:30:33.500><c> 9.</c>

00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:37.299
And<00:30:35.160><c> then</c><00:30:35.279><c> the</c><00:30:35.440><c> Lord</c><00:30:35.619><c> redresses</c><00:30:36.200><c> the</c><00:30:36.599><c> balance,</c><00:30:36.880><c> you</c><00:30:37.099><c> see.</c>

00:30:37.380 --> 00:30:40.599
He<00:30:37.619><c> filled</c><00:30:37.799><c> up</c><00:30:38.019><c> an</c><00:30:38.200><c> imbalance</c><00:30:38.660><c> in</c><00:30:38.920><c> people's</c><00:30:39.460><c> minds</c><00:30:39.680><c> about</c><00:30:40.160><c> how</c>

00:30:45.099 --> 00:30:45.640
your<00:30:45.339><c> friendship</c>

00:30:49.180 --> 00:30:51.660
and<00:30:49.279><c> think,</c><00:30:49.940><c> well,</c><00:30:50.099><c> you</c><00:30:50.200><c> know,</c><00:30:50.859><c> God's</c><00:30:51.180><c> my</c><00:30:51.460><c> friend,</c>

00:30:51.779 --> 00:30:53.859
but<00:30:51.940><c> He</c><00:30:52.140><c> doesn't</c><00:30:52.460><c> answer</c><00:30:52.680><c> me</c><00:30:52.920><c> either,</c><00:30:53.160><c> and</c><00:30:53.319><c> I</c><00:30:53.400><c> don't</c><00:30:53.619><c> see</c><00:30:53.759><c> any</c>

00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:58.460
But<00:30:56.779><c> we</c><00:30:56.900><c> get</c><00:30:57.000><c> to</c><00:30:57.119><c> verse</c><00:30:57.400><c> 9,</c><00:30:57.819><c> and</c><00:30:57.980><c> Jesus</c><00:30:58.259><c> said,</c>

00:30:58.500 --> 00:31:00.019
He's<00:30:58.740><c> nothing</c><00:30:58.920><c> like</c><00:30:59.240><c> that</c><00:30:59.380><c> at</c><00:30:59.579><c> all.</c>

00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:04.660
And<00:31:00.660><c> yet,</c><00:31:02.140><c> the</c><00:31:02.279><c> lesson</c><00:31:02.500><c> of</c><00:31:02.880><c> persistence</c><00:31:03.319><c> is</c><00:31:03.660><c> there,</c>

00:31:05.279 --> 00:31:08.920

00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:11.700
But<00:31:09.240><c> the</c><00:31:09.519><c> contrast</c><00:31:09.960><c> is</c><00:31:10.160><c> there,</c><00:31:10.839><c> too.</c>

00:31:12.059 --> 00:31:17.220
Now,<00:31:12.220><c> the</c><00:31:12.319><c> man</c><00:31:12.680><c> says,</c><00:31:15.359><c> when</c><00:31:15.440><c> he</c><00:31:15.539><c> goes</c><00:31:15.819><c> to</c><00:31:16.019><c> his</c><00:31:16.259><c> friend,</c>

00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:21.319

00:31:21.339 --> 00:31:24.940
for<00:31:21.519><c> in</c><00:31:21.700><c> verse</c><00:31:21.920><c> 6,</c><00:31:22.380><c> for</c><00:31:22.400><c> a</c><00:31:22.599><c> friend</c><00:31:22.799><c> of</c><00:31:23.140><c> mine</c><00:31:23.619><c> in</c><00:31:24.299><c> his</c><00:31:24.619><c> journey</c>

has<00:31:25.240><c> come</c><00:31:25.519><c> to</c><00:31:25.759><c> me.</c>

00:31:27.180 --> 00:31:28.960
Now,<00:31:27.359><c> you</c><00:31:27.519><c> think</c><00:31:27.740><c> about</c><00:31:28.039><c> it.</c>

00:31:29.539 --> 00:31:34.980
The<00:31:29.880><c> friend</c><00:31:30.140><c> of</c><00:31:30.420><c> mine,</c><00:31:30.759><c> so</c><00:31:30.900><c> that</c><00:31:31.140><c> the</c><00:31:31.380><c> request</c><00:31:31.940><c> for</c><00:31:32.180><c> the</c><00:31:32.359><c> loaves</c><00:31:32.660><c> is</c><00:31:32.940><c> unselfish.</c>

00:31:35.420 --> 00:31:40.079
It<00:31:35.940><c> is</c><00:31:36.220><c> what</c><00:31:36.460><c> Jesus</c><00:31:36.940><c> called</c><00:31:37.779><c> good</c><00:31:38.700><c> things.</c>

00:31:41.299 --> 00:31:43.920

the<00:31:43.940><c> last</c><00:31:44.180><c> kingdom?</c>

00:31:44.579 --> 00:31:47.079
You've<00:31:44.839><c> got</c><00:31:44.880><c> to</c><00:31:44.980><c> ask</c><00:31:45.380><c> for</c><00:31:45.700><c> good</c><00:31:46.059><c> things.</c>

00:31:48.059 --> 00:31:50.880
If<00:31:48.240><c> we've</c><00:31:48.460><c> got</c><00:31:48.599><c> a</c><00:31:48.759><c> delayed</c><00:31:49.039><c> reaction</c><00:31:49.559><c> from</c><00:31:49.839><c> God,</c>

00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:57.240
we<00:31:53.799><c> might,</c><00:31:54.319><c> brothers</c><00:31:54.519><c> and</c><00:31:54.819><c> sisters,</c><00:31:55.180><c> say</c><00:31:55.640><c> that,</c><00:31:56.259><c> like</c><00:31:56.579><c> James</c><00:31:56.960><c> says,</c>

00:31:57.579 --> 00:32:01.359
we<00:31:57.799><c> ask</c><00:31:58.140><c> it</c><00:31:58.380><c> amiss</c><00:31:59.380><c> to</c><00:32:00.240><c> consume</c><00:32:00.640><c> it</c><00:32:00.799><c> on</c><00:32:00.920><c> our</c><00:32:01.119><c> last,</c>

00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:05.460
and<00:32:01.539><c> therefore,</c><00:32:02.339><c> we</c><00:32:02.599><c> would</c><00:32:02.819><c> then</c><00:32:03.119><c> have</c><00:32:03.460><c> an</c><00:32:03.740><c> answer</c><00:32:04.039><c> to</c><00:32:04.220><c> the</c><00:32:04.420><c> silence.</c>

00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:08.740
And<00:32:06.099><c> although</c><00:32:06.259><c> we</c><00:32:06.380><c> might</c><00:32:06.819><c> be</c><00:32:07.559><c> sad</c><00:32:07.839><c> that</c><00:32:08.000><c> we</c><00:32:08.119><c> never</c><00:32:08.259><c> have</c><00:32:08.380><c> an</c><00:32:08.559><c> answer,</c>

00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:11.299
we<00:32:08.900><c> would</c><00:32:09.119><c> know</c><00:32:09.339><c> why</c><00:32:09.799><c> we</c><00:32:09.980><c> didn't</c><00:32:10.160><c> get</c><00:32:10.339><c> an</c><00:32:10.579><c> answer.</c>

00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:15.799
But<00:32:12.339><c> this</c><00:32:12.599><c> man's</c><00:32:13.339><c> requesting</c><00:32:13.720><c> is</c><00:32:14.000><c> not</c><00:32:14.519><c> an</c><00:32:14.880><c> evil</c><00:32:15.039><c> for</c><00:32:15.180><c> an</c><00:32:15.319><c> evil</c><00:32:15.539><c> thing.</c>

00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:18.539
He's<00:32:16.440><c> wanting</c><00:32:16.500><c> it</c><00:32:16.680><c> for</c><00:32:16.940><c> somebody</c><00:32:17.460><c> else.</c>

00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:21.099
It's<00:32:19.200><c> for</c><00:32:19.440><c> a</c><00:32:19.680><c> friend</c><00:32:19.900><c> of</c><00:32:20.180><c> his.</c>

00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:25.859
He<00:32:21.859><c> expects</c><00:32:22.420><c> that</c><00:32:23.140><c> friendship</c><00:32:23.519><c> to</c><00:32:23.740><c> be</c><00:32:24.019><c> reciprocated</c><00:32:24.640><c> by</c><00:32:24.900><c> his</c><00:32:25.279><c> friend,</c>

00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:27.799
because<00:32:26.680><c> he's</c><00:32:27.000><c> doing</c><00:32:27.180><c> it</c><00:32:27.359><c> for</c><00:32:27.500><c> a</c><00:32:27.680><c> friend.</c>

00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:30.220
Why?<00:32:28.559><c> Isn't</c><00:32:28.740><c> he</c><00:32:28.940><c> up</c><00:32:29.059><c> at</c><00:32:29.259><c> midnight?</c>

00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:33.019
He's<00:32:31.700><c> up</c><00:32:31.859><c> at</c><00:32:32.039><c> midnight,</c><00:32:32.480><c> isn't</c><00:32:32.700><c> he?</c>

00:32:33.140 --> 00:32:34.779
He's<00:32:33.259><c> there,</c><00:32:33.859><c> out</c><00:32:34.039><c> in</c><00:32:34.240><c> the</c><00:32:34.359><c> street,</c>

00:32:35.259 --> 00:32:38.200
knocking<00:32:35.519><c> on</c><00:32:35.700><c> this</c><00:32:35.940><c> fellow's</c><00:32:36.240><c> door</c><00:32:36.660><c> for</c><00:32:36.960><c> his</c><00:32:37.259><c> friend.</c>

00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:40.740
So<00:32:39.440><c> there's</c><00:32:39.559><c> nothing</c><00:32:39.779><c> wrong</c><00:32:40.019><c> with</c><00:32:40.180><c> his</c><00:32:40.359><c> request.</c>

00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:42.440
It's<00:32:40.980><c> totally</c><00:32:41.339><c> unselfish.</c>

00:32:42.779 --> 00:32:45.059
And,<00:32:42.940><c> I</c><00:32:43.140><c> might</c><00:32:43.299><c> add,</c><00:32:44.119><c> self</c><00:32:44.339><c>-sacrificing.</c>

00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:47.960
Isn't<00:32:45.319><c> that</c><00:32:45.539><c> a</c><00:32:45.759><c> reason</c><00:32:45.920><c> to</c><00:32:46.140><c> expect</c><00:32:46.559><c> a</c><00:32:46.779><c> spontaneous</c><00:32:47.440><c> response,</c>

brothers<00:32:48.299><c> and</c><00:32:48.500><c> sisters?</c>

00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:51.819
Of<00:32:50.220><c> course</c><00:32:50.480><c> it</c><00:32:50.640><c> is.</c>

00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:55.799
Not<00:32:52.119><c> only</c><00:32:52.420><c> that,</c><00:32:54.160><c> but</c><00:32:54.559><c> Jesus</c><00:32:54.900><c> adds</c><00:32:55.160><c> these</c><00:32:55.460><c> words,</c>

00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:57.940
this<00:32:56.079><c> friend</c><00:32:56.440><c> has</c><00:32:56.700><c> come</c><00:32:57.000><c> in</c><00:32:57.240><c> his</c><00:32:57.539><c> journey.</c>

00:32:58.180 --> 00:33:01.779
Now,<00:32:58.339><c> in</c><00:32:58.500><c> the</c><00:32:58.720><c> margin,</c><00:32:59.119><c> it</c><00:32:59.119><c> says,</c><00:33:00.460><c> out</c><00:33:00.539><c> of</c><00:33:00.660><c> his</c><00:33:00.839><c> way.</c>

00:33:02.940 --> 00:33:07.319
So<00:33:03.119><c> you</c><00:33:03.259><c> see,</c><00:33:04.259><c> he's</c><00:33:04.539><c> got,</c><00:33:05.119><c> and</c><00:33:05.460><c> if</c><00:33:05.640><c> the</c><00:33:05.839><c> friend</c><00:33:06.160><c> is</c><00:33:07.079><c> a</c><00:33:07.180><c> little</c>

00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:39.119
The<00:33:36.359><c> other</c><00:33:36.660><c> friend</c><00:33:36.880><c> didn't</c><00:33:37.220><c> anticipate</c><00:33:37.799><c> to</c><00:33:38.160><c> force</c><00:33:38.319><c> his</c><00:33:38.559><c> attention</c><00:33:38.880><c> upon</c>

All<00:33:57.160><c> the</c><00:33:57.519><c> circumstances</c><00:33:58.039><c> were</c><00:33:58.279><c> reasonable.</c>

00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:01.099
That's<00:34:00.039><c> the</c><00:34:00.240><c> point.</c>

00:34:02.299 --> 00:34:05.700
And<00:34:02.440><c> this</c><00:34:02.700><c> man</c><00:34:03.079><c> emphasises</c><00:34:03.839><c> the</c><00:34:04.099><c> unselfishness</c><00:34:05.000><c> of</c><00:34:05.140><c> his</c><00:34:05.299><c> attitude.</c>

00:34:05.940 --> 00:34:08.739
He<00:34:06.039><c> said,</c><00:34:06.240><c> I've</c><00:34:06.400><c> got</c><00:34:06.480><c> nothing</c><00:34:06.799><c> to</c><00:34:07.119><c> set</c><00:34:07.299><c> before</c><00:34:07.779><c> him.</c>

00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:12.559
So<00:34:09.960><c> he</c><00:34:10.019><c> didn't</c><00:34:10.280><c> intend</c><00:34:10.679><c> the</c><00:34:10.940><c> loaves</c><00:34:11.159><c> to</c><00:34:11.340><c> be</c><00:34:11.480><c> for</c><00:34:11.579><c> his</c><00:34:11.820><c> own</c><00:34:12.079><c> family,</c><00:34:12.519><c> his</c>

00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:15.239
He<00:34:13.559><c> was</c><00:34:13.800><c> going</c><00:34:13.980><c> to</c><00:34:14.079><c> be</c><00:34:14.280><c> generous</c><00:34:14.639><c> to</c><00:34:14.840><c> his</c><00:34:15.079><c> friend.</c>

00:34:15.380 --> 00:34:18.679
He<00:34:15.559><c> would</c><00:34:15.820><c> repay</c><00:34:16.059><c> him,</c><00:34:16.480><c> but</c><00:34:16.659><c> he</c><00:34:16.800><c> wanted</c><00:34:16.940><c> to</c><00:34:17.159><c> help</c><00:34:17.300><c> this</c><00:34:17.500><c> other</c><00:34:17.820><c> friend.</c>

00:34:18.780 --> 00:34:23.960
It<00:34:19.219><c> was</c><00:34:19.559><c> all</c><00:34:20.099><c> so</c><00:34:20.559><c> reasonable</c><00:34:21.260><c> and</c><00:34:21.699><c> unselfish,</c><00:34:22.639><c> brothers</c><00:34:22.760><c> and</c><00:34:22.960><c> sisters.</c>

00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:29.559
And<00:34:26.079><c> he</c><00:34:26.159><c> didn't</c><00:34:26.360><c> get</c><00:34:26.559><c> a</c><00:34:26.760><c> response</c><00:34:27.420><c> that</c><00:34:28.460><c> he</c><00:34:28.760><c> expected.</c>

00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:33.780

00:34:34.139 --> 00:34:36.619
Oh,<00:34:34.380><c> you</c><00:34:34.480><c> know,</c><00:34:34.579><c> I</c><00:34:34.760><c> never</c><00:34:35.039><c> cease</c><00:34:35.320><c> to</c><00:34:35.539><c> marvel</c><00:34:35.760><c> the</c><00:34:35.900><c> way</c><00:34:36.139><c> that</c><00:34:36.280><c> this</c><00:34:36.440><c> is</c>

not<00:35:40.619><c> exactly</c><00:35:41.039><c> true.</c>

00:35:41.340 --> 00:35:46.019
Jeremiah<00:35:42.179><c> had</c><00:35:42.880><c> become</c><00:35:43.159><c> depressed</c><00:35:43.780><c> and</c><00:35:44.019><c> despondent</c><00:35:44.500><c> about</c><00:35:44.780><c> God.</c>

00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.980
also,<00:35:49.559><c> when</c><00:35:49.559><c> I</c><00:35:49.860><c> cry</c><00:35:50.159><c> and</c><00:35:50.460><c> shout,</c><00:35:50.800><c> he</c><00:35:51.219><c> shutteth</c><00:35:51.460><c> out</c><00:35:51.760><c> my</c><00:35:52.079><c> prayer.</c>

00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:56.019
That's<00:35:53.719><c> how</c><00:35:54.139><c> it</c><00:35:54.219><c> seemed,</c><00:35:54.820><c> brothers</c><00:35:54.960><c> and</c><00:35:55.019><c> sisters.</c>

00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:59.579
Or<00:35:56.320><c> verse</c><00:35:56.659><c> 44</c><00:35:57.360><c> of</c><00:35:58.199><c> chapter</c><00:35:58.519><c> 3</c><00:35:58.760><c> of</c><00:35:58.880><c> Lamentations,</c>

00:35:59.739 --> 00:36:02.940
thou<00:35:59.920><c> hast</c><00:36:00.179><c> covered</c><00:36:00.420><c> thyself</c><00:36:00.920><c> with</c><00:36:01.099><c> a</c><00:36:01.340><c> cloud</c><00:36:01.519><c> that</c><00:36:01.659><c> our</c><00:36:02.019><c> prayer</c><00:36:02.260><c> should</c><00:36:02.579><c> not</c>

00:36:02.940 --> 00:36:04.519
pass<00:36:03.480><c> through.</c>

00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:06.940
So<00:36:05.199><c> God</c><00:36:05.480><c> had</c><00:36:06.019><c> shut</c><00:36:06.199><c> out</c><00:36:06.480><c> the</c><00:36:06.699><c> prayer.</c>

00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:10.639
The<00:36:07.500><c> cloud</c><00:36:07.780><c> was</c><00:36:08.019><c> up</c><00:36:08.300><c> there,</c><00:36:08.500><c> as</c><00:36:08.639><c> it</c><00:36:08.840><c> were,</c><00:36:09.239><c> so</c><00:36:09.380><c> the</c><00:36:09.619><c> prayer</c><00:36:09.860><c> couldn't</c><00:36:10.079><c> get</c><00:36:10.400><c> through.</c>

00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:15.019
And<00:36:10.980><c> God,</c><00:36:11.460><c> from</c><00:36:11.860><c> within,</c><00:36:13.460><c> wasn't</c><00:36:13.639><c> going</c><00:36:13.800><c> to</c><00:36:13.900><c> answer</c><00:36:14.139><c> anybody.</c>

00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.079
He<00:36:15.579><c> was</c><00:36:15.940><c> enthroned</c><00:36:16.420><c> in</c><00:36:16.599><c> majesty.</c>

00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:19.139
Everything<00:36:17.500><c> was</c><00:36:17.800><c> all</c><00:36:17.940><c> right</c><00:36:18.099><c> in</c><00:36:18.340><c> there.</c>

00:36:19.579 --> 00:36:22.639
And<00:36:19.639><c> here</c><00:36:19.860><c> we</c><00:36:20.119><c> are,</c><00:36:20.539><c> bereft</c><00:36:21.019><c> and</c><00:36:21.340><c> left</c><00:36:21.579><c> to</c><00:36:21.780><c> our</c><00:36:21.940><c> own</c><00:36:22.199><c> resources.</c>

00:36:23.059 --> 00:36:25.659
As<00:36:23.159><c> I</c><00:36:23.380><c> said,</c><00:36:24.179><c> Israel</c><00:36:24.519><c> thoroughly</c><00:36:24.980><c> deserved</c><00:36:25.360><c> that.</c>

00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:29.000
God's<00:36:26.320><c> mercy</c><00:36:26.599><c> had</c><00:36:26.840><c> been</c><00:36:27.139><c> extended</c><00:36:27.519><c> again</c><00:36:28.260><c> and</c><00:36:28.420><c> again</c><00:36:28.699><c> to</c><00:36:29.000><c> them.</c>

00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:32.239
There<00:36:29.519><c> was</c><00:36:29.719><c> nothing</c><00:36:30.000><c> unjust</c><00:36:30.480><c> in</c><00:36:30.639><c> what</c><00:36:30.800><c> God</c><00:36:31.059><c> did</c><00:36:31.320><c> in</c><00:36:31.480><c> the</c><00:36:31.659><c> destruction</c><00:36:32.019><c> by</c>

00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:32.840
the<00:36:32.400><c> Babylonians,</c>

00:36:32.860 --> 00:36:34.900
but<00:36:33.000><c> it</c><00:36:33.219><c> certainly</c><00:36:33.440><c> depressed</c><00:36:33.840><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:38.300
But<00:36:36.300><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:36:36.860><c> prayer,</c><00:36:37.179><c> brothers</c><00:36:37.380><c> and</c><00:36:37.420><c> sisters,</c><00:36:37.840><c> was</c><00:36:38.039><c> not</c>

00:36:38.300 --> 00:36:38.719
shut<00:36:38.519><c> out.</c>

00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:40.840
There<00:36:38.840><c> was</c><00:36:39.059><c> no</c><00:36:39.340><c> cloud</c><00:36:39.679><c> between</c><00:36:40.239><c> him</c><00:36:40.460><c> and</c><00:36:40.579><c> God.</c>

00:36:40.900 --> 00:36:43.179
It<00:36:40.900><c> was</c><00:36:41.119><c> just</c><00:36:41.380><c> a</c><00:36:41.500><c> question</c><00:36:41.780><c> of</c><00:36:42.099><c> persistence.</c>

00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:47.199
And<00:36:44.519><c> God</c><00:36:44.679><c> was</c><00:36:44.920><c> more</c><00:36:45.320><c> than</c><00:36:45.519><c> willing</c><00:36:45.679><c> to</c><00:36:45.880><c> hear</c><00:36:46.019><c> his</c><00:36:46.300><c> prophet.</c>

00:36:47.739 --> 00:36:50.380
Just<00:36:48.000><c> the</c><00:36:48.239><c> same</c><00:36:48.380><c> as</c><00:36:48.579><c> this</c><00:36:48.780><c> man</c><00:36:48.980><c> here,</c><00:36:49.800><c> from</c><00:36:50.119><c> within.</c>

00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:52.019
Now,<00:36:50.659><c> this</c><00:36:50.820><c> is</c><00:36:50.980><c> his</c><00:36:51.260><c> friend,</c><00:36:51.559><c> you</c><00:36:51.800><c> see.</c>

00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:56.699
And<00:36:52.559><c> the</c><00:36:52.699><c> very</c><00:36:52.940><c> fact</c><00:36:53.139><c> that</c><00:36:53.260><c> it's</c><00:36:53.440><c> from</c><00:36:53.699><c> within,</c><00:36:54.300><c> as</c><00:36:54.420><c> I</c><00:36:54.619><c> say,</c><00:36:55.980><c> he's</c><00:36:56.340><c> in</c>

00:36:56.699 --> 00:36:58.000
comfortable<00:36:57.199><c> circumstances.</c>

00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:02.400
And<00:36:58.579><c> he</c><00:36:58.739><c> says</c><00:36:58.880><c> to</c><00:36:59.059><c> his</c><00:36:59.300><c> friend</c><00:36:59.519><c> in</c><00:36:59.679><c> the</c><00:36:59.940><c> street,</c><00:37:00.940><c> don't</c><00:37:01.119><c> trouble</c><00:37:01.460><c> me.</c>

00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:07.320
The<00:37:03.760><c> Greek</c><00:37:03.980><c> is,</c><00:37:04.440><c> don't</c><00:37:04.599><c> cause</c><00:37:04.960><c> me</c><00:37:05.440><c> any</c><00:37:06.980><c> pain.</c>

00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:09.039
The<00:37:07.559><c> word</c><00:37:07.699><c> means</c><00:37:07.940><c> to</c><00:37:08.300><c> cut.</c>

00:37:09.420 --> 00:37:12.300
I<00:37:09.420><c> don't</c><00:37:09.860><c> want</c><00:37:10.019><c> to,</c><00:37:10.260><c> you</c><00:37:10.340><c> know,</c><00:37:10.880><c> it's</c><00:37:11.280><c> painful</c><00:37:11.800><c> getting</c><00:37:12.059><c> out</c>

00:37:12.300 --> 00:37:12.679
of<00:37:12.440><c> bed.</c>

00:37:13.099 --> 00:37:16.179
The<00:37:13.300><c> RSV</c><00:37:13.739><c> says,</c><00:37:14.480><c> don't</c><00:37:14.800><c> bother</c><00:37:15.119><c> me.</c>

00:37:17.340 --> 00:37:20.159
And<00:37:17.539><c> there's</c><00:37:17.780><c> an</c><00:37:18.079><c> unwillingness</c><00:37:18.719><c> here,</c><00:37:19.099><c> brothers</c><00:37:19.159><c> and</c><00:37:19.440><c> sisters,</c><00:37:19.679><c> to</c><00:37:19.920><c> help.</c>

00:37:20.300 --> 00:37:23.440
He<00:37:20.420><c> didn't</c><00:37:20.659><c> expect</c><00:37:21.139><c> that</c><00:37:21.619><c> because</c><00:37:22.280><c> he's</c><00:37:22.739><c> coming</c><00:37:23.000><c> on</c><00:37:23.199><c> behalf</c>

00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:25.119
of<00:37:23.699><c> another</c><00:37:24.079><c> friend.</c>

00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:28.340
He's<00:37:25.800><c> coming</c><00:37:26.079><c> for</c><00:37:26.539><c> unselfish</c><00:37:27.219><c> reasons.</c>

00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:31.079
And<00:37:29.239><c> it</c><00:37:29.340><c> all</c><00:37:29.559><c> happened</c><00:37:29.800><c> accidentally.</c>

00:37:31.739 --> 00:37:33.519
There's<00:37:31.920><c> no</c><00:37:32.159><c> reason</c><00:37:32.599><c> for</c><00:37:32.820><c> that</c><00:37:33.019><c> response.</c>

00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:36.320
His<00:37:33.739><c> friend</c><00:37:34.000><c> should</c><00:37:34.199><c> have</c><00:37:34.280><c> said,</c><00:37:34.599><c> oh,</c><00:37:34.880><c> my</c><00:37:35.159><c> poor</c><00:37:35.480><c> friend</c><00:37:35.880><c> who's</c>

00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:37.219
got<00:37:36.519><c> another</c><00:37:36.860><c> friend.</c>

00:37:37.500 --> 00:37:39.679
If<00:37:37.599><c> he's</c><00:37:37.820><c> my</c><00:37:38.099><c> friend,</c><00:37:38.360><c> I</c><00:37:38.559><c> understand</c><00:37:38.900><c> he</c><00:37:39.059><c> should</c><00:37:39.199><c> be</c><00:37:39.380><c> a</c><00:37:39.559><c> friend</c>

00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:40.059
to<00:37:39.860><c> him.</c>

00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:42.360
And<00:37:40.400><c> he's</c><00:37:40.559><c> come</c><00:37:40.739><c> here,</c><00:37:41.039><c> and</c><00:37:41.159><c> he's</c><00:37:41.460><c> certainly</c><00:37:41.699><c> up</c><00:37:41.840><c> at</c><00:37:42.019><c> midnight.</c>

00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:43.980
Why<00:37:42.860><c> shouldn't</c><00:37:43.079><c> I</c><00:37:43.280><c> get</c><00:37:43.380><c> up</c><00:37:43.460><c> at</c><00:37:43.639><c> midnight?</c>

00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:47.260
He<00:37:44.659><c> couldn't</c><00:37:44.920><c> help</c><00:37:45.139><c> it</c><00:37:45.280><c> because</c><00:37:45.500><c> a</c><00:37:45.679><c> man</c><00:37:45.820><c> came</c><00:37:46.019><c> out</c><00:37:46.179><c> of</c><00:37:46.280><c> his</c><00:37:46.440><c> way</c><00:37:46.599><c> unexpectedly.</c>

00:37:47.579 --> 00:37:48.280
It<00:37:47.639><c> wasn't</c><00:37:47.699><c> his</c><00:37:47.980><c> fault.</c>

00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:49.420
But<00:37:48.539><c> he</c><00:37:48.599><c> don't</c><00:37:48.780><c> think</c><00:37:49.019><c> like</c><00:37:49.260><c> that.</c>

00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:51.199
He's<00:37:50.000><c> inside.</c>

00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:52.860
It's<00:37:51.679><c> not</c><00:37:51.900><c> convenient.</c>

00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:27.920
Now<00:38:26.820><c> Yahweh's</c><00:38:27.239><c> not</c><00:38:27.400><c> like</c><00:38:27.659><c> that.</c>

00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:43.400
This<00:38:38.599><c> is</c><00:38:38.900><c> Yahweh's</c><00:38:39.460><c> response</c><00:38:39.960><c> to</c><00:38:41.139><c> the</c><00:38:41.619><c> prayers</c><00:38:41.900><c> of</c><00:38:42.159><c> his</c><00:38:42.440><c> friends.</c>

00:39:03.380 --> 00:39:08.139
Now<00:39:03.699><c> this</c><00:39:04.079><c> is</c><00:39:04.420><c> how</c><00:39:04.780><c> David</c><00:39:05.340><c> saw</c><00:39:05.860><c> God's</c><00:39:06.500><c> response</c><00:39:06.900><c> to</c><00:39:07.159><c> prayer.</c>

00:39:08.659 --> 00:39:10.860
In<00:39:08.659><c> verse</c><00:39:09.039><c> 6,</c><00:39:10.539><c> he</c><00:39:10.559><c> says,</c>

00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:15.800
In<00:39:11.219><c> my</c><00:39:11.619><c> distress</c><00:39:12.179><c> I</c><00:39:12.519><c> called</c><00:39:12.900><c> upon</c><00:39:13.239><c> Yahweh</c><00:39:13.739><c> and</c><00:39:13.960><c> cried</c><00:39:14.340><c> unto</c><00:39:14.599><c> my</c><00:39:14.880><c> God.</c>

00:39:16.260 --> 00:39:18.320
He<00:39:16.380><c> heard</c><00:39:16.679><c> my</c><00:39:17.019><c> voice</c><00:39:17.320><c> out</c><00:39:17.559><c> of</c><00:39:17.679><c> his</c><00:39:17.880><c> temple,</c>

00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:25.260
So<00:39:23.519><c> he's</c><00:39:23.739><c> praying</c><00:39:23.980><c> to</c><00:39:24.199><c> God.</c>

00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:28.559
Now<00:39:26.320><c> let</c><00:39:26.639><c> me</c><00:39:26.760><c> tell</c><00:39:26.960><c> you</c><00:39:27.079><c> my</c><00:39:27.280><c> own</c><00:39:27.559><c> words,</c><00:39:27.940><c> brothers</c><00:39:28.139><c> and</c><00:39:28.340><c> sisters,</c>

00:39:32.139 --> 00:39:34.440
We<00:39:32.300><c> can</c><00:39:32.480><c> read</c><00:39:32.699><c> it,</c><00:39:32.880><c> but</c><00:39:33.000><c> I</c><00:39:33.099><c> just</c><00:39:33.260><c> want</c><00:39:33.360><c> to</c><00:39:33.400><c> put</c><00:39:33.559><c> in</c><00:39:33.619><c> my</c><00:39:33.820><c> own</c><00:39:34.079><c> words.</c>

And<00:39:43.599><c> he</c><00:39:43.900><c> comes</c><00:39:44.239><c> to</c><00:39:44.420><c> God</c><00:39:44.619><c> in</c><00:39:44.780><c> an</c><00:39:45.079><c> earnest</c><00:39:45.420><c> prayer,</c>

00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:52.119
God<00:39:50.219><c> shakes</c><00:39:51.000><c> the</c><00:39:51.320><c> earth.</c>

00:39:52.179 --> 00:39:56.840

00:39:56.980 --> 00:39:59.260
And<00:39:57.059><c> then</c><00:39:57.219><c> he</c><00:39:57.420><c> clothes</c><00:39:57.659><c> himself</c><00:39:58.139><c> with</c><00:39:58.340><c> a</c><00:39:58.539><c> dark</c><00:39:58.840><c> cloud,</c>

00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:18.119
And<00:40:15.420><c> then</c><00:40:15.619><c> he</c><00:40:16.039><c> thunders</c><00:40:16.460><c> in</c><00:40:16.639><c> their</c><00:40:16.880><c> ears,</c>

00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:27.960
They're<00:40:25.480><c> all</c><00:40:25.760><c> exposed</c><00:40:26.420><c> for</c><00:40:26.619><c> what</c><00:40:26.780><c> they</c><00:40:27.059><c> are.</c>

00:40:33.219 --> 00:40:34.800
And<00:40:33.360><c> when</c><00:40:33.539><c> Yahweh</c><00:40:33.780><c> has</c><00:40:34.139><c> scattered</c><00:40:34.280><c> his</c><00:40:34.559><c> enemies,</c>

00:40:35.219 --> 00:40:37.139
he<00:40:35.380><c> reaches</c><00:40:35.820><c> down</c><00:40:36.179><c> into</c><00:40:36.599><c> the</c><00:40:36.800><c> water,</c>

00:40:37.500 --> 00:40:39.179
takes<00:40:37.739><c> him</c><00:40:37.940><c> up</c><00:40:38.119><c> by</c><00:40:38.340><c> the</c><00:40:38.539><c> hair</c><00:40:38.679><c> of</c><00:40:38.840><c> the</c><00:40:39.019><c> head,</c>

00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:43.599
And<00:40:42.539><c> David</c><00:40:42.739><c> says,</c>

00:40:44.300 --> 00:40:46.840
Oh,<00:40:44.820><c> isn't</c><00:40:45.139><c> this</c><00:40:45.400><c> beautiful?</c>

00:40:47.460 --> 00:40:49.199
In<00:40:47.659><c> a</c><00:40:47.900><c> large</c><00:40:48.199><c> place.</c>

00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:52.019
And<00:40:50.300><c> he's</c><00:40:50.440><c> got</c><00:40:50.619><c> no</c><00:40:50.780><c> one</c><00:40:50.900><c> to</c><00:40:51.059><c> worry</c><00:40:51.280><c> about.</c>

00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:55.139
And<00:40:53.400><c> you</c><00:40:53.599><c> say,</c><00:40:53.820><c> I've</c><00:40:53.900><c> got</c><00:40:54.000><c> an</c><00:40:54.219><c> imagination.</c>

00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:01.300
That's<00:40:57.599><c> how</c><00:40:57.800><c> David</c><00:40:58.260><c> saw</c><00:40:59.219><c> Yahweh's</c><00:41:00.079><c> answer</c><00:41:00.239><c> to</c><00:41:00.519><c> prayer.</c>

00:41:02.739 --> 00:41:04.440
But<00:41:02.980><c> God</c><00:41:03.159><c> didn't</c><00:41:03.420><c> always</c><00:41:03.719><c> answer</c><00:41:03.980><c> David,</c>

00:41:04.579 --> 00:41:06.579
brothers<00:41:04.739><c> and</c><00:41:05.000><c> sisters,</c><00:41:05.440><c> immediately.</c>

00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:10.000
There<00:41:08.179><c> was</c><00:41:08.420><c> a</c><00:41:08.599><c> time</c><00:41:08.780><c> when</c><00:41:09.019><c> David</c><00:41:09.400><c> said,</c>

00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:13.000
when<00:41:10.860><c> Saul</c><00:41:11.239><c> sought</c><00:41:11.559><c> him</c><00:41:11.760><c> down</c><00:41:12.019><c> in</c><00:41:12.219><c> the</c><00:41:12.260><c> hill</c><00:41:12.440><c> of</c><00:41:12.599><c> Hakkala,</c>

00:41:13.260 --> 00:41:14.219
when<00:41:13.380><c> he</c><00:41:13.460><c> said,</c>

00:41:14.619 --> 00:41:15.920
Oh,<00:41:14.840><c> I</c><00:41:15.079><c> might</c><00:41:15.260><c> as</c><00:41:15.400><c> well</c><00:41:15.440><c> run</c><00:41:15.699><c> away.</c>

00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:17.980
I'm<00:41:16.840><c> going</c><00:41:17.039><c> to</c><00:41:17.199><c> die.</c>

00:41:18.099 --> 00:41:19.260
Saul's<00:41:18.500><c> going</c><00:41:18.579><c> to</c><00:41:18.659><c> have</c><00:41:18.719><c> the</c><00:41:18.860><c> better</c><00:41:19.019><c> of</c><00:41:19.159><c> me.</c>

00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:20.760
Even<00:41:19.679><c> David</c><00:41:19.960><c> got</c><00:41:20.199><c> to</c><00:41:20.300><c> that</c><00:41:20.500><c> point.</c>

00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:22.920
Every<00:41:21.360><c> man</c><00:41:21.539><c> has</c><00:41:21.719><c> his</c><00:41:21.940><c> weakness.</c>

00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:25.199
But<00:41:23.940><c> he</c><00:41:24.000><c> was</c><00:41:24.219><c> a</c><00:41:24.340><c> man,</c><00:41:24.539><c> brothers</c><00:41:24.800><c> and</c><00:41:24.980><c> sisters,</c>

00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:27.219
that<00:41:25.340><c> when</c><00:41:25.460><c> he</c><00:41:25.719><c> cried</c><00:41:26.039><c> unto</c><00:41:26.380><c> God</c><00:41:26.639><c> in</c><00:41:26.800><c> distress,</c>

00:41:27.380 --> 00:41:30.699
he<00:41:27.539><c> saw</c><00:41:27.800><c> that</c><00:41:28.699><c> all</c><00:41:29.280><c> heaven</c><00:41:29.639><c> opened,</c>

00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:34.340
all<00:41:31.300><c> the</c><00:41:31.559><c> powers</c><00:41:31.820><c> of</c><00:41:32.039><c> the</c><00:41:32.280><c> universe</c><00:41:32.679><c> came</c><00:41:33.000><c> to</c><00:41:33.179><c> his</c><00:41:33.380><c> aid.</c>

00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.559
And<00:41:34.739><c> the</c><00:41:35.000><c> extravagant</c><00:41:35.559><c> language</c><00:41:35.980><c> that</c><00:41:36.239><c> David</c><00:41:36.500><c> uses</c>

00:41:37.699 --> 00:41:41.420
to<00:41:38.219><c> illustrate</c><00:41:38.739><c> his</c><00:41:39.199><c> faith</c><00:41:39.699><c> in</c><00:41:40.400><c> his</c><00:41:40.659><c> friend</c><00:41:40.920><c> in</c><00:41:41.199><c> heaven,</c>

00:41:45.699 --> 00:41:47.900
And<00:41:45.780><c> it</c><00:41:45.940><c> finished</c><00:41:46.179><c> up</c><00:41:46.400><c> putting</c><00:41:46.579><c> him</c><00:41:46.739><c> in</c><00:41:46.780><c> a</c><00:41:47.039><c> large</c><00:41:47.380><c> place.</c>

00:41:48.300 --> 00:41:49.800
God<00:41:48.480><c> didn't</c><00:41:48.760><c> stay</c><00:41:49.079><c> within.</c>

00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:52.559
Heaven<00:41:50.500><c> got</c><00:41:50.780><c> bowed</c><00:41:51.239><c> and</c><00:41:51.360><c> he</c><00:41:51.440><c> came</c><00:41:51.679><c> out,</c>

00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:54.840
astride<00:41:53.820><c> the</c><00:41:54.039><c> wind.</c>

00:42:00.699 --> 00:42:05.659
that's<00:42:01.000><c> how</c><00:42:01.179><c> he</c><00:42:01.460><c> saw</c><00:42:01.840><c> God's</c><00:42:03.480><c> answer</c><00:42:03.900><c> to</c><00:42:04.840><c> prayer.</c>

00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:08.880
But<00:42:06.820><c> this</c><00:42:07.119><c> man's</c><00:42:07.760><c> friend,</c><00:42:08.119><c> Jesus</c><00:42:08.539><c> said,</c>

00:42:09.239 --> 00:42:10.159
Have<00:42:09.360><c> you</c><00:42:09.420><c> got</c><00:42:09.579><c> a</c><00:42:09.780><c> friend?</c>

This<00:42:10.739><c> man's</c><00:42:11.260><c> friend</c><00:42:11.480><c> is</c><00:42:11.820><c> within.</c>

And<00:42:13.440><c> he</c><00:42:13.559><c> says,</c><00:42:13.719><c> I</c><00:42:13.900><c> ain't</c><00:42:14.119><c> going</c><00:42:14.260><c> to</c><00:42:14.360><c> come</c><00:42:14.559><c> out.</c>

00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:18.300
Now<00:42:16.139><c> when</c><00:42:16.219><c> we</c><00:42:16.360><c> come</c><00:42:16.539><c> back</c><00:42:16.800><c> to</c><00:42:16.980><c> Luke</c><00:42:17.179><c> chapter</c><00:42:17.619><c> 11,</c>

00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:30.099
Jesus<00:42:29.780><c> said,</c>

00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:32.639
To<00:42:30.420><c> him</c><00:42:30.639><c> that</c><00:42:30.860><c> knocketh,</c><00:42:31.119><c> it</c><00:42:31.260><c> shall</c><00:42:31.400><c> be</c><00:42:31.760><c> opened.</c>

00:42:38.659 --> 00:42:40.079
And<00:42:38.880><c> so</c><00:42:38.980><c> we</c><00:42:39.139><c> knock</c><00:42:39.320><c> on</c><00:42:39.579><c> God's</c><00:42:39.980><c> door,</c>

it'll<00:42:40.380><c> swing</c><00:42:40.619><c> open.</c>

00:42:43.420 --> 00:42:45.980
But<00:42:43.639><c> this</c><00:42:43.880><c> door</c><00:42:44.179><c> is</c><00:42:44.519><c> remaining</c><00:42:44.900><c> locked.</c>

00:42:55.820 --> 00:42:56.980
He<00:42:56.039><c> was</c><00:42:56.400><c> not</c><00:42:56.699><c> rich.</c>

00:42:57.239 --> 00:42:58.500

when<00:42:58.760><c> they</c><00:42:58.920><c> went</c><00:42:59.119><c> to</c><00:42:59.300><c> bed,</c><00:42:59.579><c> brothers</c><00:42:59.679><c> and</c><00:42:59.900><c> sisters,</c>

00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:03.659
most<00:43:00.639><c> of</c><00:43:00.820><c> the</c><00:43:00.960><c> house</c><00:43:01.119><c> was</c><00:43:01.320><c> taken</c><00:43:01.619><c> up</c><00:43:02.119><c> with</c><00:43:02.539><c> the</c><00:43:02.739><c> inhabitants.</c>

00:43:03.900 --> 00:43:04.699
They<00:43:03.940><c> were</c><00:43:04.039><c> not</c><00:43:04.199><c> like</c><00:43:04.500><c> us,</c>

00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:06.000

00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:08.760
It<00:43:07.480><c> wasn't</c><00:43:07.699><c> like</c><00:43:08.000><c> that</c><00:43:08.119><c> in</c><00:43:08.219><c> those</c><00:43:08.440><c> days.</c>

00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:11.619
And<00:43:09.099><c> then</c><00:43:09.219><c> the</c><00:43:09.340><c> little</c><00:43:09.539><c> ones</c><00:43:09.739><c> had</c><00:43:09.880><c> to</c><00:43:10.000><c> go</c><00:43:10.119><c> to</c><00:43:10.239><c> bed</c><00:43:10.340><c> with</c><00:43:10.579><c> him.</c>

00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:14.900
So<00:43:12.139><c> the</c><00:43:12.239><c> whole</c><00:43:12.440><c> place</c><00:43:12.659><c> is</c><00:43:12.920><c> packed</c><00:43:13.139><c> with</c><00:43:13.400><c> sleeping</c><00:43:13.739><c> children.</c>

00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:17.519
Brothers<00:43:16.320><c> and</c><00:43:16.519><c> sisters,</c>

00:43:24.019 --> 00:43:25.260
it's<00:43:24.260><c> right.</c>

00:43:26.739 --> 00:43:28.679
None<00:43:27.159><c> of</c><00:43:27.340><c> his</c><00:43:27.500><c> children</c><00:43:27.780><c> get</c><00:43:27.940><c> in</c><00:43:28.119><c> the</c><00:43:28.300><c> way,</c>

00:43:31.179 --> 00:43:33.679
And<00:43:31.300><c> he</c><00:43:31.460><c> has</c><00:43:31.800><c> got</c><00:43:32.460><c> ridges.</c>

00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:37.019
Over<00:43:34.900><c> the</c><00:43:35.099><c> centuries</c><00:43:35.480><c> of</c><00:43:35.739><c> time,</c>

00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:40.860

00:43:41.260 --> 00:43:45.019
Not<00:43:41.559><c> one</c><00:43:41.880><c> of</c><00:43:42.019><c> them</c><00:43:42.360><c> got</c><00:43:42.639><c> in</c><00:43:42.780><c> the</c><00:43:42.940><c> way</c><00:43:43.119><c> of</c><00:43:43.280><c> God</c><00:43:43.460><c> helping</c><00:43:43.760><c> the</c><00:43:44.019><c> other.</c>

00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:48.840
Marvellous,<00:43:46.360><c> you</c><00:43:46.360><c> know,</c><00:43:46.699><c> the</c><00:43:47.139><c> father</c><00:43:47.519><c> that</c><00:43:47.679><c> we've</c><00:43:48.039><c> got.</c>

00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:50.260
And<00:43:49.019><c> the</c><00:43:49.139><c> man</c><00:43:49.519><c> within</c><00:43:49.920><c> says,</c>

00:43:50.699 --> 00:43:53.420
I<00:43:51.139><c> cannot</c><00:43:51.699><c> rise</c><00:43:52.199><c> and</c><00:43:52.420><c> give</c><00:43:52.619><c> them.</c>

00:43:55.219 --> 00:43:58.599
I<00:43:55.659><c> can't</c><00:43:56.099><c> do</c><00:43:56.340><c> it.</c>

00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:00.800
But<00:43:59.400><c> he</c><00:43:59.539><c> did.</c>

00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:05.239
So<00:44:02.380><c> he</c><00:44:02.500><c> couldn't</c><00:44:02.760><c> even</c><00:44:03.119><c> tell</c><00:44:03.260><c> the</c><00:44:03.559><c> truth</c><00:44:03.780><c> in</c><00:44:04.000><c> the</c><00:44:04.199><c> circumstances.</c>

00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:09.559
That's<00:44:07.880><c> what</c><00:44:08.079><c> the</c><00:44:08.599><c> friend</c><00:44:08.820><c> did.</c>

00:44:09.860 --> 00:44:11.880
In<00:44:10.099><c> the</c><00:44:10.320><c> end,</c><00:44:10.519><c> he</c><00:44:10.599><c> told</c><00:44:10.860><c> a</c><00:44:11.099><c> lie.</c>

00:44:12.219 --> 00:44:13.280

00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:14.719
And<00:44:13.440><c> he</c><00:44:13.559><c> did</c><00:44:13.780><c> it.</c>

00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:16.820
So<00:44:15.219><c> he</c><00:44:15.320><c> could</c><00:44:15.559><c> have</c><00:44:15.699><c> done</c><00:44:15.900><c> it.</c>

00:44:17.039 --> 00:44:19.139
But<00:44:17.300><c> he</c><00:44:17.380><c> said</c><00:44:17.559><c> he</c><00:44:17.679><c> couldn't.</c>

00:44:19.980 --> 00:44:21.420
And<00:44:20.159><c> I</c><00:44:20.340><c> suppose</c><00:44:20.519><c> as</c><00:44:20.719><c> I</c><00:44:20.940><c> speak</c><00:44:21.099><c> to</c><00:44:21.239><c> you,</c>

00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:25.840

00:44:26.219 --> 00:44:29.559
We<00:44:26.579><c> might</c><00:44:26.840><c> not</c><00:44:27.039><c> tell</c><00:44:27.239><c> lies</c><00:44:27.500><c> like</c><00:44:27.760><c> that,</c><00:44:28.219><c> straight</c><00:44:28.380><c> out.</c>

00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:32.559
But<00:44:30.260><c> we</c><00:44:30.380><c> know</c><00:44:30.639><c> that</c><00:44:30.860><c> we</c><00:44:31.019><c> say</c><00:44:31.179><c> all</c><00:44:31.400><c> sorts</c><00:44:31.679><c> of</c><00:44:31.880><c> things.</c>

We<00:44:34.239><c> do</c><00:44:34.460><c> all</c><00:44:34.639><c> sorts</c><00:44:34.900><c> of</c><00:44:35.039><c> things</c><00:44:35.179><c> to</c><00:44:35.400><c> escape</c><00:44:36.340><c> having</c><00:44:37.239><c> to</c><00:44:37.659><c> help</c>

00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:39.119
our<00:44:38.139><c> friends</c>

00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:41.519
because<00:44:39.880><c> it's</c><00:44:40.139><c> not</c><00:44:40.400><c> convenient,</c>

00:44:42.739 --> 00:44:45.380
because<00:44:43.099><c> we've</c><00:44:43.300><c> got</c><00:44:43.440><c> other</c><00:44:43.719><c> things</c><00:44:44.039><c> to</c><00:44:44.300><c> do,</c>

00:44:48.500 --> 00:44:50.199
We<00:44:48.719><c> just</c><00:44:49.000><c> like</c><00:44:49.219><c> time</c><00:44:49.519><c> to</c><00:44:49.739><c> ourselves</c>

00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:53.059
and<00:44:50.559><c> we</c><00:44:51.420><c> just</c><00:44:51.619><c> don't</c><00:44:51.940><c> want</c><00:44:52.420><c> to</c><00:44:52.599><c> do</c><00:44:52.760><c> it.</c>

00:44:53.139 --> 00:44:56.440
And<00:44:53.260><c> so</c><00:44:53.360><c> we</c><00:44:53.559><c> say,</c><00:44:54.639><c> it's</c><00:44:54.900><c> not</c><00:44:55.260><c> convenient.</c>

00:44:58.159 --> 00:45:00.840
But<00:44:58.280><c> it</c><00:44:58.440><c> could</c><00:44:58.659><c> be,</c><00:44:59.539><c> if</c><00:44:59.699><c> we'd</c><00:44:59.960><c> like</c><00:45:00.059><c> to</c><00:45:00.219><c> make</c><00:45:00.420><c> it.</c>

00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:02.639
Because<00:45:01.679><c> he</c><00:45:01.860><c> did.</c>

00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:04.199
He<00:45:03.159><c> didn't</c><00:45:03.380><c> give</c><00:45:03.539><c> him</c><00:45:03.699><c> three</c><00:45:03.960><c> lies.</c>

00:47:38.099 --> 00:47:40.099
He<00:47:38.199><c> knew</c><00:47:38.340><c> all</c><00:47:38.579><c> about</c><00:47:38.860><c> that.</c>

00:47:40.340 --> 00:47:43.380
It<00:47:40.539><c> was</c><00:47:40.719><c> that</c><00:47:40.940><c> we</c><00:47:41.320><c> might</c><00:47:41.559><c> have</c><00:47:41.760><c> a</c><00:47:41.800><c> better</c><00:47:42.119><c> appreciation</c>

00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:46.079

of<00:47:46.239><c> us.</c>

00:47:47.139 --> 00:47:48.940
The<00:47:47.340><c> matter</c><00:47:47.619><c> is</c><00:47:47.900><c> for</c><00:47:48.079><c> our</c><00:47:48.440><c> benefit.</c>

00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:53.059
God<00:47:49.539><c> understood</c><00:47:50.460><c> as</c><00:47:50.960><c> much</c><00:47:51.519><c> more</c><00:47:52.019><c> than</c><00:47:52.159><c> the</c><00:47:52.360><c> Son</c><00:47:52.539><c> understood</c>

00:47:53.059 --> 00:47:54.440

00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:55.420
He<00:47:54.599><c> made</c><00:47:54.880><c> it.</c>

00:47:55.639 --> 00:47:56.800
He<00:47:55.800><c> knows</c><00:47:56.099><c> it</c><00:47:56.380><c> all.</c>

00:47:57.280 --> 00:47:59.039

00:48:03.340 --> 00:48:07.079

00:48:08.260 --> 00:48:08.780
Rubbish.

00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:11.099
He<00:48:09.260><c> knows</c><00:48:09.400><c> us</c><00:48:09.820><c> through</c><00:48:10.320><c> and</c><00:48:10.440><c> through</c>

00:48:11.099 --> 00:48:14.420
to<00:48:11.340><c> such</c><00:48:11.579><c> an</c><00:48:11.820><c> extent</c><00:48:12.179><c> that</c><00:48:12.500><c> it</c><00:48:12.599><c> brings</c><00:48:12.900><c> forth</c><00:48:13.239><c> pity</c><00:48:13.639><c> from</c><00:48:13.920><c> Him.</c>

00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:16.820

And<00:48:17.500><c> that</c><00:48:17.599><c> was</c><00:48:17.780><c> the</c><00:48:17.920><c> attitude</c><00:48:18.239><c> of</c><00:48:18.400><c> God.</c>

00:48:19.500 --> 00:48:21.500
Not<00:48:19.679><c> like</c><00:48:20.039><c> the</c><00:48:20.139><c> man</c><00:48:20.360><c> who</c><00:48:20.559><c> says,</c>

00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:24.739
I<00:48:21.960><c> will</c><00:48:22.219><c> in</c><00:48:22.400><c> the</c><00:48:22.559><c> end,</c><00:48:22.719><c> but</c><00:48:22.840><c> not</c><00:48:23.219><c> because</c><00:48:23.480><c> I'm</c><00:48:23.639><c> your</c><00:48:23.920><c> friend.</c>

00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:26.599
I'm<00:48:25.179><c> sick</c><00:48:25.400><c> to</c><00:48:25.619><c> death</c><00:48:25.860><c> here.</c>

00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:28.900
That<00:48:27.380><c> was</c><00:48:27.559><c> His</c><00:48:27.739><c> attitude,</c><00:48:28.260><c> brethren</c><00:48:28.420><c> and</c><00:48:28.699><c> sisters.</c>

00:48:28.900 --> 00:48:31.519
And<00:48:29.159><c> when</c><00:48:29.300><c> we</c><00:48:29.400><c> come</c><00:48:29.579><c> back</c><00:48:29.719><c> to</c><00:48:30.340><c> the</c><00:48:30.599><c> little</c><00:48:30.860><c> parable</c><00:48:31.239><c> here,</c>

00:48:31.699 --> 00:48:33.219
that's<00:48:31.840><c> what</c><00:48:32.039><c> the</c><00:48:32.159><c> Lord</c><00:48:32.340><c> said.</c>

00:48:33.300 --> 00:48:34.880
He<00:48:33.480><c> will</c><00:48:33.679><c> give</c><00:48:33.880><c> Him,</c><00:48:34.099><c> He</c><00:48:34.099><c> said</c><00:48:34.300><c> in</c><00:48:34.460><c> the</c><00:48:34.599><c> end,</c>

00:48:35.019 --> 00:48:36.960
but<00:48:35.179><c> not</c><00:48:35.400><c> because</c><00:48:35.619><c> He'll</c><00:48:35.780><c> give</c><00:48:35.960><c> Him</c><00:48:36.099><c> out</c><00:48:36.199><c> of</c><00:48:36.300><c> the</c><00:48:36.480><c> motivation</c>

of<00:48:37.179><c> friendship.</c>

00:48:37.920 --> 00:48:40.400
It's<00:48:38.139><c> not</c><00:48:38.519><c> motivated</c><00:48:39.000><c> by</c><00:48:39.340><c> friendship.</c>

00:48:40.699 --> 00:48:43.340
He'll<00:48:40.880><c> give</c><00:48:41.000><c> it</c><00:48:41.179><c> because</c><00:48:41.500><c> of</c><00:48:41.639><c> His</c><00:48:41.980><c> importunity.</c>

00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:46.480
Importunity,<00:48:45.840><c> brethren</c><00:48:46.039><c> and</c><00:48:46.320><c> sisters,</c>

00:48:46.539 --> 00:48:49.519
is<00:48:46.699><c> a</c><00:48:46.820><c> word</c><00:48:47.019><c> which</c><00:48:47.260><c> means</c><00:48:47.659><c> to</c><00:48:47.960><c> be</c><00:48:48.480><c> troublesome,</c>

00:48:50.500 --> 00:48:53.139
to<00:48:50.639><c> be</c><00:48:51.219><c> improperly</c><00:48:52.219><c> perseverant</c>

00:48:53.139 --> 00:48:56.199
beyond<00:48:53.860><c> really</c><00:48:54.440><c> that</c><00:48:54.579><c> which</c><00:48:54.719><c> is</c><00:48:55.059><c> reasonable.</c>

00:48:56.300 --> 00:48:57.980
That's<00:48:56.739><c> what</c><00:48:56.900><c> our</c><00:48:57.099><c> English</c><00:48:57.360><c> word</c><00:48:57.599><c> means.</c>

00:48:57.980 --> 00:49:01.340
The<00:48:58.739><c> Greek</c><00:48:59.059><c> word</c><00:48:59.380><c> means</c><00:48:59.659><c> to</c><00:48:59.860><c> be</c><00:49:00.260><c> shameless.</c>

00:49:01.679 --> 00:49:04.400
Now<00:49:01.800><c> what</c><00:49:01.900><c> would</c><00:49:02.099><c> happen</c><00:49:02.480><c> if</c><00:49:02.800><c> we</c><00:49:02.980><c> went</c><00:49:03.139><c> to</c><00:49:03.300><c> that</c><00:49:03.480><c> friend</c>

00:49:04.780 --> 00:49:06.340
and<00:49:05.179><c> we</c><00:49:05.559><c> knocked</c><00:49:05.780><c> on</c><00:49:05.900><c> his</c><00:49:06.159><c> door</c>

00:49:06.340 --> 00:49:07.079
and<00:49:06.460><c> we</c><00:49:06.579><c> heard</c><00:49:06.739><c> a</c><00:49:06.920><c> voice.</c>

00:49:07.099 --> 00:49:07.920
He<00:49:07.139><c> didn't</c><00:49:07.360><c> open</c><00:49:07.579><c> the</c><00:49:07.760><c> door.</c>

00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:08.579
He<00:49:08.019><c> didn't</c><00:49:08.159><c> open</c><00:49:08.380><c> the</c><00:49:08.500><c> window.</c>

00:49:08.639 --> 00:49:09.500
We<00:49:08.719><c> don't</c><00:49:08.880><c> know</c><00:49:08.940><c> where</c><00:49:09.099><c> he</c><00:49:09.260><c> is.</c>

00:49:09.900 --> 00:49:11.139
The<00:49:10.079><c> voice</c><00:49:10.320><c> comes</c><00:49:10.619><c> from</c><00:49:10.860><c> within.</c>

00:49:11.579 --> 00:49:12.500
I<00:49:11.780><c> can't</c><00:49:12.059><c> come</c><00:49:12.320><c> now.</c>

00:49:12.559 --> 00:49:13.639
It's<00:49:12.800><c> late,</c><00:49:13.039><c> don't</c><00:49:13.179><c> you</c><00:49:13.360><c> know?</c>

00:49:14.099 --> 00:49:15.159
I've<00:49:14.199><c> got</c><00:49:14.300><c> all</c><00:49:14.380><c> my</c><00:49:14.480><c> children</c><00:49:14.739><c> in</c><00:49:15.019><c> bed.</c>

00:49:15.219 --> 00:49:16.079
I<00:49:15.380><c> can't</c><00:49:15.699><c> get</c><00:49:15.880><c> up.</c>

00:49:16.179 --> 00:49:17.400
Go<00:49:16.420><c> away.</c>

00:49:18.539 --> 00:49:22.199
Or<00:49:18.719><c> we'd</c><00:49:18.920><c> mutter</c><00:49:19.119><c> a</c><00:49:19.260><c> few</c><00:49:20.219><c> nasty</c><00:49:21.179><c> words</c><00:49:21.480><c> under</c><00:49:21.699><c> our</c><00:49:21.980><c> breath</c>

00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:23.880
and<00:49:22.360><c> we'd</c><00:49:22.659><c> go</c><00:49:22.840><c> away</c>

00:49:24.139 --> 00:49:26.539
because<00:49:24.539><c> we</c><00:49:24.760><c> would</c><00:49:24.940><c> be</c><00:49:25.219><c> ashamed</c>

00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:29.119
to<00:49:27.480><c> ask</c><00:49:27.880><c> Him</c><00:49:28.039><c> again.</c>

00:49:29.280 --> 00:49:31.380
But<00:49:29.460><c> we</c><00:49:29.539><c> would</c><00:49:29.760><c> be</c><00:49:30.119><c> embarrassed,</c><00:49:30.900><c> ill</c><00:49:31.019><c> at</c><00:49:31.159><c> ease.</c>

00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:32.199
We<00:49:31.539><c> wouldn't</c><00:49:31.780><c> do</c><00:49:31.980><c> it.</c>

00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:33.280
We'd<00:49:32.500><c> turn</c><00:49:32.679><c> on</c><00:49:32.820><c> our</c><00:49:32.940><c> heel</c><00:49:33.039><c> and</c><00:49:33.199><c> say,</c>

00:49:33.519 --> 00:49:35.159
well,<00:49:33.559><c> Daniel,</c><00:49:34.400><c> I'll</c><00:49:34.619><c> go</c><00:49:34.739><c> without</c><00:49:34.980><c> me.</c>

00:49:35.159 --> 00:49:36.619
Bride,<00:49:35.380><c> so</c><00:49:35.559><c> will</c><00:49:35.639><c> my</c><00:49:35.860><c> friend.</c>

00:49:37.940 --> 00:49:41.659

00:49:42.440 --> 00:49:45.079
But<00:49:42.519><c> this</c><00:49:42.780><c> man,</c><00:49:43.340><c> because</c><00:49:43.539><c> of</c><00:49:43.679><c> his</c><00:49:43.860><c> importunity,</c>

00:49:46.300 --> 00:49:48.440

00:49:49.460 --> 00:49:51.300

00:49:51.460 --> 00:49:52.559
He<00:49:51.800><c> won't</c><00:49:52.119><c> go</c><00:49:52.400><c> away.</c>

00:49:52.579 --> 00:49:54.019
He<00:49:52.719><c> keeps</c><00:49:53.019><c> knocking</c><00:49:53.340><c> and</c><00:49:53.579><c> calling</c><00:49:53.820><c> out.</c>

00:49:54.019 --> 00:49:54.940
He<00:49:54.159><c> keeps</c><00:49:54.340><c> saying,</c><00:49:54.780><c> I</c><00:49:54.780><c> can't.</c>

00:49:54.940 --> 00:49:57.300
He<00:49:55.039><c> keeps</c><00:49:55.579><c> knocking</c><00:49:56.019><c> all</c><00:49:56.280><c> the</c><00:49:56.400><c> time.</c>

00:49:58.260 --> 00:49:59.920
I<00:49:58.699><c> can't</c><00:49:59.139><c> come,</c><00:49:59.539><c> he</c><00:49:59.639><c> said.</c>

00:50:00.219 --> 00:50:01.760

00:50:02.019 --> 00:50:02.739
So<00:50:02.239><c> it</c><00:50:02.320><c> wasn't</c><00:50:02.440><c> true.</c>

00:50:02.960 --> 00:50:05.219
So<00:50:03.179><c> he</c><00:50:03.619><c> gets</c><00:50:03.920><c> the</c><00:50:04.199><c> bread</c><00:50:04.340><c> and</c><00:50:04.500><c> gives</c><00:50:04.719><c> it</c><00:50:04.900><c> to</c><00:50:05.019><c> him.</c>

00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:08.800
And<00:50:05.559><c> the</c><00:50:05.739><c> motivation</c><00:50:06.360><c> for</c><00:50:06.599><c> giving</c><00:50:06.760><c> it</c><00:50:06.980><c> to</c><00:50:07.099><c> him</c><00:50:07.239><c> was</c><00:50:07.380><c> he</c><00:50:07.500><c> was</c><00:50:07.739><c> annoyed.</c>

00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:12.440
That<00:50:10.219><c> was</c><00:50:10.420><c> the</c><00:50:10.579><c> motivation,</c><00:50:11.300><c> brothers</c><00:50:11.420><c> and</c><00:50:11.639><c> sisters.</c>

00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:18.139
It's<00:50:13.199><c> exactly</c><00:50:13.639><c> the</c><00:50:14.159><c> same</c><00:50:14.559><c> lesson</c><00:50:15.179><c> of</c><00:50:16.780><c> Luke</c><00:50:17.039><c> 18.</c>

Isn't<00:50:18.619><c> it?</c>

00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:19.800
Isn't<00:50:19.400><c> it?</c>

00:50:20.260 --> 00:50:21.199
Exactly.

00:50:21.480 --> 00:50:22.679
The<00:50:21.679><c> poor</c><00:50:21.860><c> widow.</c>

00:50:23.420 --> 00:50:25.000

00:50:25.119 --> 00:50:26.880

00:50:26.880 --> 00:50:31.300
that<00:50:27.000><c> men</c><00:50:27.199><c> ought</c><00:50:27.440><c> always</c><00:50:28.260><c> to</c><00:50:28.599><c> pray</c><00:50:28.820><c> and</c><00:50:29.019><c> not</c><00:50:29.619><c> to</c><00:50:29.820><c> give</c><00:50:30.019><c> up.</c>

00:50:32.179 --> 00:50:33.179
He<00:50:32.360><c> gave</c><00:50:32.519><c> another</c><00:50:32.860><c> parable.</c>

00:50:33.260 --> 00:50:34.679

00:50:36.940 --> 00:50:38.900
and<00:50:37.039><c> he</c><00:50:37.119><c> had</c><00:50:37.340><c> no</c><00:50:37.619><c> regard</c><00:50:37.980><c> for</c><00:50:38.139><c> his</c><00:50:38.360><c> fellow</c><00:50:38.579><c> man.</c>

00:50:39.039 --> 00:50:39.940
And<00:50:39.139><c> there</c><00:50:39.239><c> was</c><00:50:39.539><c> a</c><00:50:39.719><c> widow.</c>

00:50:40.059 --> 00:50:41.980
Now,<00:50:40.239><c> you</c><00:50:40.340><c> get</c><00:50:40.519><c> the</c><00:50:40.639><c> two</c><00:50:40.800><c> extremes,</c><00:50:41.460><c> right?</c>

Never<00:51:40.300><c> mind</c><00:51:40.460><c> about</c><00:51:40.739><c> not</c><00:51:40.960><c> being</c><00:51:41.159><c> God</c><00:51:41.500><c>-fearing.</c>

00:51:41.599 --> 00:51:48.320

00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:55.960
The<00:51:53.679><c> point</c><00:51:53.920><c> the</c><00:51:54.079><c> Lord</c><00:51:54.219><c> is</c><00:51:54.400><c> making</c><00:51:54.739><c> is,</c>

00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:04.539
He's<00:52:02.780><c> nothing</c><00:52:03.119><c> like</c><00:52:03.400><c> him.</c>

00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:08.420
It's<00:52:05.179><c> a</c><00:52:05.280><c> question,</c><00:52:05.659><c> brothers</c><00:52:05.860><c> and</c><00:52:06.119><c> sisters,</c><00:52:06.760><c> of</c><00:52:07.199><c> perseverance.</c>

But<00:52:09.800><c> you</c><00:52:09.960><c> might</c><00:52:10.219><c> say,</c><00:52:10.659><c> as</c><00:52:10.739><c> I</c><00:52:10.960><c> did</c><00:52:11.099><c> when</c><00:52:11.239><c> I</c><00:52:11.320><c> was</c><00:52:11.400><c> going</c><00:52:11.579><c> through</c><00:52:11.820><c> this,</c>

00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:18.460
God<00:53:16.679><c> is</c><00:53:16.940><c> not</c><00:53:17.139><c> moved</c><00:53:17.380><c> because</c><00:53:17.659><c> he's</c><00:53:18.079><c> inactive</c>

You'll<00:53:27.539><c> do</c><00:53:27.739><c> it.</c>

Well,<00:53:30.920><c> why</c><00:53:31.280><c> then</c><00:53:31.500><c> does</c><00:53:31.659><c> he</c><00:53:31.780><c> delay?</c>

00:53:32.260 --> 00:53:33.099
Why?

00:53:33.340 --> 00:53:35.320
That's<00:53:33.820><c> the</c><00:53:33.960><c> burning</c><00:53:34.260><c> question.</c>

00:53:49.739 --> 00:53:51.179
It's<00:53:50.159><c> God,</c><00:53:50.380><c> brothers</c><00:53:50.619><c> and</c><00:53:50.920><c> sisters,</c>

just<00:53:51.579><c> seeing</c><00:53:51.940><c> whether</c><00:53:52.199><c> we</c><00:53:52.380><c> really</c><00:53:52.719><c> believe</c><00:53:53.219><c> that</c><00:53:53.460><c> he's</c><00:53:53.820><c> God.</c>

00:53:58.000 --> 00:53:59.639
That's<00:53:58.480><c> what</c><00:53:58.599><c> it's</c><00:53:58.880><c> about.</c>

00:53:59.880 --> 00:54:02.639
The<00:54:00.360><c> test</c><00:54:00.699><c> is</c><00:54:00.960><c> all</c><00:54:01.099><c> the</c><00:54:01.239><c> other</c><00:54:01.440><c> way.</c>

00:54:13.860 --> 00:54:15.619
I've<00:54:14.099><c> thought</c><00:54:14.179><c> a</c><00:54:14.239><c> lot</c><00:54:14.340><c> about</c><00:54:14.599><c> it.</c>

I'm<00:54:18.820><c> not</c><00:54:19.199><c> singing</c><00:54:19.460><c> myself</c><00:54:19.880><c> out</c><00:54:20.360><c> from</c><00:54:20.599><c> you.</c>

00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:24.619
It's<00:54:22.079><c> just</c><00:54:22.360><c> simply</c><00:54:22.559><c> we</c><00:54:22.739><c> don't</c><00:54:22.980><c> believe</c><00:54:23.320><c> in</c><00:54:23.519><c> God.</c>

00:54:25.539 --> 00:54:26.360
Oh,<00:54:25.699><c> but</c><00:54:25.780><c> you</c><00:54:25.840><c> say</c><00:54:25.940><c> we</c><00:54:26.099><c> do.</c>

00:54:26.800 --> 00:54:28.119
Oh,<00:54:26.920><c> yeah,</c><00:54:27.019><c> we</c><00:54:27.159><c> might.</c>

00:54:28.820 --> 00:54:31.039
Fundamentally,<00:54:29.320><c> we</c><00:54:29.360><c> might</c><00:54:29.599><c> believe</c><00:54:29.940><c> in</c><00:54:30.139><c> God.</c>

00:54:31.260 --> 00:54:33.460
But<00:54:31.380><c> there</c><00:54:31.599><c> are</c><00:54:31.860><c> degrees</c><00:54:32.199><c> of</c><00:54:32.440><c> belief.</c>

00:54:34.500 --> 00:54:36.559
There<00:54:34.659><c> are</c><00:54:34.920><c> degrees</c><00:54:35.300><c> of</c><00:54:35.519><c> conviction.</c>

00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:40.019
I'm<00:54:38.239><c> in</c><00:54:38.440><c> trouble</c><00:54:38.699><c> at</c><00:54:38.900><c> home.</c>

00:54:41.119 --> 00:54:41.800
Problems<00:54:41.559><c> arise.</c>

00:54:41.860 --> 00:54:43.380
I<00:54:41.920><c> can't</c><00:54:42.219><c> handle</c><00:54:42.500><c> them.</c>

00:54:43.800 --> 00:54:46.099
I<00:54:43.980><c> reach</c><00:54:44.239><c> straight</c><00:54:44.699><c> out</c><00:54:44.840><c> for</c><00:54:44.940><c> the</c><00:54:45.119><c> phone.</c>

00:54:46.820 --> 00:54:48.039
I'm<00:54:47.260><c> going</c><00:54:47.400><c> to</c><00:54:47.440><c> ring</c><00:54:47.619><c> a</c><00:54:47.800><c> brother.</c>

00:54:48.159 --> 00:54:49.039
I<00:54:48.219><c> know</c><00:54:48.400><c> who</c><00:54:48.599><c> I'm</c><00:54:48.619><c> going</c><00:54:48.739><c> to</c><00:54:48.880><c> ring.</c>

00:54:49.179 --> 00:54:50.340
There's<00:54:49.360><c> several</c><00:54:49.559><c> I</c><00:54:49.639><c> can</c><00:54:49.860><c> ring,</c>

00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:51.940
who<00:54:50.940><c> are</c><00:54:51.119><c> dear</c><00:54:51.300><c> friends</c><00:54:51.619><c> of</c><00:54:51.800><c> mine,</c>

00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:54.059

00:54:54.639 --> 00:54:56.860
And<00:54:54.900><c> I</c><00:54:55.280><c> instinctively</c><00:54:55.920><c> reach</c><00:54:56.179><c> out</c><00:54:56.380><c> for</c><00:54:56.500><c> that</c><00:54:56.699><c> phone.</c>

00:54:56.860 --> 00:55:00.579

00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:05.159
I<00:55:02.059><c> have</c><00:55:02.500><c> no</c><00:55:02.840><c> difficulty</c><00:55:03.500><c> conversing</c><00:55:04.039><c> with</c><00:55:04.260><c> them</c>

00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:08.320
or<00:55:05.800><c> listening</c><00:55:06.320><c> or</c><00:55:07.260><c> pouring</c><00:55:07.619><c> my</c><00:55:07.920><c> heart</c><00:55:08.119><c> out</c>

00:55:08.320 --> 00:55:09.840
and<00:55:08.780><c> seeking</c><00:55:09.320><c> their</c><00:55:09.659><c> help.</c>

00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:11.400
I<00:55:10.079><c> have</c><00:55:10.539><c> no</c><00:55:10.860><c> difficulty</c><00:55:11.119><c> with</c><00:55:11.239><c> that.</c>

00:55:11.420 --> 00:55:14.000
And<00:55:11.659><c> I'll</c><00:55:11.880><c> probably</c><00:55:12.099><c> ring</c><00:55:12.280><c> them</c><00:55:12.440><c> later</c><00:55:12.739><c> on</c><00:55:12.980><c> again</c><00:55:13.199><c> that</c><00:55:13.400><c> same</c><00:55:13.639><c> night</c>

00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:15.280
and<00:55:14.340><c> probably</c><00:55:14.500><c> the</c><00:55:14.679><c> next</c><00:55:14.960><c> morning</c>

00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:17.179
and<00:55:15.400><c> probably</c><00:55:15.619><c> the</c><00:55:15.800><c> next</c><00:55:16.119><c> afternoon</c>

00:55:17.539 --> 00:55:21.099
because<00:55:18.179><c> I'll</c><00:55:18.639><c> constantly</c><00:55:19.260><c> want</c><00:55:19.639><c> their</c><00:55:19.960><c> help.</c>

00:55:21.659 --> 00:55:23.800
But<00:55:21.900><c> I</c><00:55:22.019><c> have</c><00:55:22.239><c> difficulty</c><00:55:22.599><c> with</c><00:55:22.880><c> God.</c>

00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:26.519
See<00:55:25.000><c> the</c><00:55:25.239><c> point?</c>

00:55:27.139 --> 00:55:29.619
Now,<00:55:27.219><c> if</c><00:55:27.360><c> I'm</c><00:55:27.519><c> on</c><00:55:27.699><c> the</c><00:55:27.860><c> receiving</c><00:55:28.119><c> end</c><00:55:28.380><c> of</c><00:55:28.500><c> those</c><00:55:28.739><c> calls</c>

00:55:29.960 --> 00:55:32.719

00:55:32.900 --> 00:55:34.260

and<00:55:34.539><c> goes</c><00:55:34.739><c> on</c><00:55:35.000><c> ringing</c><00:55:35.179><c> me,</c>

00:55:36.360 --> 00:55:38.820
what<00:55:36.559><c> is</c><00:55:36.780><c> my</c><00:55:37.119><c> reaction</c><00:55:37.539><c> to</c><00:55:37.719><c> that</c><00:55:37.940><c> brother?</c>

00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:41.940
I<00:55:40.579><c> think</c><00:55:40.760><c> to</c><00:55:40.860><c> myself,</c>

00:55:42.340 --> 00:55:46.300
hey,<00:55:43.900><c> he's</c><00:55:44.099><c> got</c><00:55:44.239><c> awful</c><00:55:44.539><c> confidence</c><00:55:45.059><c> in</c><00:55:45.300><c> me.</c>

00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:49.400
He<00:55:47.139><c> really</c><00:55:47.400><c> thinks</c><00:55:47.599><c> I</c><00:55:47.739><c> can</c><00:55:47.980><c> do</c><00:55:48.119><c> something</c><00:55:48.440><c> for</c><00:55:48.719><c> him</c>

00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:50.960
that<00:55:49.880><c> may</c><00:55:50.139><c> boost</c><00:55:50.340><c> my</c><00:55:50.599><c> ego.</c>

00:55:50.960 --> 00:55:53.300
It<00:55:51.780><c> might</c><00:55:52.059><c> also,</c><00:55:52.420><c> brethren</c><00:55:52.719><c> and</c><00:55:52.980><c> sisters,</c>

00:55:53.679 --> 00:55:55.119
deepen<00:55:53.900><c> my</c><00:55:54.139><c> friendship.</c>

00:55:56.360 --> 00:55:59.059
Do<00:55:56.539><c> you</c><00:55:56.539><c> think</c><00:55:56.679><c> God's</c><00:55:56.980><c> any</c><00:55:57.139><c> different</c><00:55:57.400><c> than</c><00:55:57.639><c> that?</c>

00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:01.760
A<00:56:00.539><c> curt</c><00:56:00.760><c> word</c><00:56:01.039><c> here</c><00:56:01.320><c> or</c><00:56:01.579><c> there,</c>

00:56:03.019 --> 00:56:04.800
and<00:56:03.099><c> then</c><00:56:03.179><c> we</c><00:56:03.280><c> say</c><00:56:03.420><c> God</c><00:56:03.639><c> didn't</c><00:56:03.940><c> answer.</c>

00:56:05.980 --> 00:56:07.679
And<00:56:06.139><c> God</c><00:56:06.260><c> in</c><00:56:06.460><c> heaven</c><00:56:06.719><c> is</c><00:56:07.179><c> ego,</c>

00:56:07.940 --> 00:56:10.420
not<00:56:08.199><c> willing</c><00:56:08.460><c> that</c><00:56:08.760><c> any</c><00:56:08.980><c> should</c><00:56:09.219><c> perish,</c>

00:56:10.599 --> 00:56:12.719
pitting<00:56:10.800><c> the</c><00:56:11.199><c> frame</c><00:56:11.420><c> we</c><00:56:11.659><c> have,</c><00:56:11.960><c> brothers</c><00:56:12.099><c> and</c><00:56:12.420><c> sisters,</c>

ready<00:56:21.719><c> at</c><00:56:21.880><c> the</c><00:56:22.219><c> moment</c><00:56:22.500><c> to</c><00:56:22.780><c> drop</c><00:56:22.900><c> off</c><00:56:23.119><c> a</c><00:56:23.239><c> hat</c><00:56:23.360><c> to</c><00:56:23.500><c> do</c><00:56:23.719><c> that,</c>

00:56:24.260 --> 00:56:27.139
if<00:56:24.739><c> we</c><00:56:25.079><c> persist</c><00:56:25.679><c> and</c><00:56:26.300><c> prove</c><00:56:26.699><c> to</c><00:56:26.900><c> him</c>

00:56:32.320 --> 00:56:34.380
Because<00:56:32.679><c> belief</c><00:56:33.000><c> is</c><00:56:33.360><c> absolutely</c><00:56:33.980><c> critical</c>

00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:38.900
So<00:56:36.000><c> Jesus</c><00:56:36.320><c> said,</c><00:56:36.739><c> I'm</c><00:56:37.079><c> telling</c><00:56:37.380><c> you</c><00:56:37.619><c> it'll</c><00:56:37.920><c> happen.</c>

00:56:39.199 --> 00:56:40.619
Don't<00:56:39.300><c> be</c><00:56:39.440><c> like</c><00:56:39.579><c> that</c><00:56:39.860><c> friend.</c>

00:56:41.320 --> 00:56:42.159
You've<00:56:41.460><c> got</c><00:56:41.559><c> a</c><00:56:41.760><c> friend,</c><00:56:42.019><c> have</c><00:56:42.099><c> you?</c>

00:56:42.199 --> 00:56:44.980
Well,<00:56:42.360><c> it</c><00:56:42.579><c> may</c><00:56:42.940><c> happen</c><00:56:43.179><c> and</c><00:56:43.340><c> it</c><00:56:43.719><c> may</c><00:56:44.000><c> not.</c>

Not<00:56:50.239><c> if,</c><00:56:50.739><c> not</c><00:56:50.739><c> if,</c><00:56:51.000><c> but</c><00:56:51.000><c> maybe</c><00:56:51.320><c> it</c><00:56:51.599><c> will.</c>

and<00:59:16.119><c> he</c><00:59:16.320><c> found</c><00:59:16.519><c> that</c><00:59:16.619><c> it</c><00:59:16.679><c> was</c><00:59:16.920><c> true</c><00:59:17.179><c> what</c><00:59:17.280><c> it</c><00:59:17.400><c> was</c><00:59:17.619><c> said.</c>

00:59:18.840 --> 00:59:20.519
God<00:59:19.039><c> was</c><00:59:19.280><c> his</c><00:59:19.500><c> friend.</c>

00:59:21.340 --> 00:59:23.579
And<00:59:21.460><c> when</c><00:59:21.619><c> Lot</c><00:59:21.780><c> came</c><00:59:22.059><c> out</c><00:59:22.260><c> of</c><00:59:22.360><c> the</c><00:59:22.539><c> Holocaust,</c>

00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:26.840

00:59:30.380 --> 00:59:32.519
Abraham<00:59:30.780><c> knew</c><00:59:31.039><c> that</c><00:59:31.219><c> he</c><00:59:31.320><c> didn't</c><00:59:31.539><c> do</c><00:59:31.780><c> that</c>

00:59:32.519 --> 00:59:36.039
because<00:59:33.719><c> he</c><00:59:34.599><c> galvanized</c><00:59:35.440><c> into</c><00:59:35.639><c> action</c>

00:59:36.039 --> 00:59:38.639
by<00:59:36.519><c> annoying</c><00:59:36.920><c> him</c><00:59:37.119><c> with</c><00:59:37.300><c> his</c><00:59:37.519><c> persistence.</c>

00:59:39.559 --> 00:59:42.739
He<00:59:39.639><c> knew</c><00:59:39.760><c> that</c><00:59:39.960><c> God</c><00:59:40.099><c> did</c><00:59:40.320><c> it</c><00:59:40.639><c> because</c><00:59:41.219><c> he</c><00:59:41.639><c> was</c><00:59:41.840><c> Abraham's</c><00:59:42.440><c> friend</c>

00:59:42.739 --> 00:59:47.699
because<00:59:43.840><c> Abraham</c><00:59:44.480><c> proved</c><00:59:45.039><c> that</c><00:59:45.460><c> he</c><00:59:45.579><c> believed</c><00:59:45.920><c> that</c><00:59:46.159><c> God</c><00:59:46.320><c> was</c><00:59:46.639><c> his.</c>

00:59:48.880 --> 00:59:52.639
And<00:59:49.039><c> the</c><00:59:49.300><c> persistence,</c><00:59:49.679><c> therefore,</c><00:59:50.519><c> was</c><00:59:50.719><c> not</c><00:59:50.940><c> to</c><00:59:51.280><c> arouse</c><00:59:51.739><c> God.</c>

00:59:52.780 --> 00:59:56.559
It<00:59:52.980><c> was</c><00:59:53.219><c> to</c><00:59:53.460><c> demonstrate</c><00:59:53.860><c> to</c><00:59:54.219><c> God</c><00:59:54.420><c> that</c><00:59:54.679><c> Abraham</c><00:59:55.199><c> was</c><00:59:55.519><c> aroused.</c>

00:59:57.000 --> 01:00:00.320
He<00:59:57.219><c> was</c><00:59:57.440><c> the</c><00:59:57.599><c> one</c><00:59:58.840><c> whose</c><00:59:59.219><c> faith,</c><00:59:59.699><c> brothers</c><00:59:59.840><c> and</c><01:00:00.079><c> sisters,</c>

01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:03.539
was<01:00:00.500><c> unshakable</c><01:00:02.119><c> in</c><01:00:02.420><c> the</c><01:00:02.579><c> God</c><01:00:02.780><c> that</c><01:00:02.940><c> he</c><01:00:03.059><c> worshipped.</c>

01:00:03.599 --> 01:00:05.880
That's<01:00:03.719><c> what</c><01:00:03.940><c> was</c><01:00:04.099><c> the</c><01:00:04.260><c> point,</c><01:00:04.440><c> brothers</c><01:00:04.699><c> and</c><01:00:04.940><c> sisters.</c>

01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:11.260
Now,<01:00:06.920><c> in</c><01:00:07.039><c> verse</c><01:00:07.360><c> 11,</c><01:00:09.320><c> Jesus</c><01:00:09.460><c> changes</c><01:00:09.940><c> the</c><01:00:10.219><c> figure.</c>

01:00:12.519 --> 01:00:17.639
If<01:00:12.659><c> a</c><01:00:13.019><c> son,</c><01:00:13.860><c> if</c><01:00:16.460><c> a</c><01:00:16.739><c> son,</c><01:00:17.139><c> he</c><01:00:17.320><c> said,</c>

01:00:17.860 --> 01:00:21.460
shall<01:00:18.059><c> ask</c><01:00:18.380><c> bread</c><01:00:18.659><c> of</c><01:00:18.960><c> any</c><01:00:19.320><c> of</c><01:00:19.480><c> you</c><01:00:19.599><c> that</c><01:00:19.780><c> is</c><01:00:20.039><c> a</c><01:00:20.519><c> father.</c>

01:00:21.980 --> 01:00:24.300
Now,<01:00:22.420><c> brothers</c><01:00:22.480><c> and</c><01:00:22.760><c> sisters,</c><01:00:23.019><c> we</c><01:00:23.239><c> now</c><01:00:23.500><c> haven't</c><01:00:23.719><c> got</c><01:00:24.000><c> just</c>

01:00:24.300 --> 01:00:25.599
two<01:00:24.639><c> friends.</c>

01:00:26.179 --> 01:00:29.619
We've<01:00:26.579><c> got</c><01:00:26.739><c> a</c><01:00:27.159><c> father</c><01:00:27.639><c> and</c><01:00:28.300><c> son</c><01:00:28.880><c> relationship.</c>

01:00:29.619 --> 01:00:31.760
What<01:00:30.019><c> will</c><01:00:30.360><c> that</c><01:00:30.619><c> do?</c>

01:00:32.579 --> 01:00:36.099
Well,<01:00:32.840><c> you</c><01:00:32.840><c> see,</c><01:00:33.760><c> a</c><01:00:33.880><c> father</c><01:00:34.179><c> and</c><01:00:34.420><c> son</c><01:00:34.719><c> relationship</c>

01:00:36.980 --> 01:00:41.039
is<01:00:37.539><c> a</c><01:00:37.619><c> greater</c><01:00:38.239><c> filial</c><01:00:38.780><c> affection</c><01:00:39.440><c> than</c><01:00:39.860><c> friends.</c>

01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:42.920
It<01:00:41.539><c> is.</c>

01:00:44.099 --> 01:00:45.780
And<01:00:44.360><c> I</c><01:00:44.599><c> believe,</c><01:00:45.119><c> brothers</c><01:00:45.320><c> and</c><01:00:45.539><c> sisters,</c>

01:00:45.900 --> 01:00:48.619
that<01:00:45.980><c> when</c><01:00:46.199><c> that</c><01:00:47.119><c> disciple</c><01:00:47.579><c> was</c><01:00:47.860><c> watching</c><01:00:48.239><c> the</c><01:00:48.440><c> Lord,</c>

01:00:48.699 --> 01:00:50.599
waiting<01:00:49.159><c> for</c><01:00:49.320><c> him</c><01:00:49.440><c> to</c><01:00:49.679><c> finish,</c>

01:00:50.659 --> 01:00:53.380
that's<01:00:50.980><c> why</c><01:00:51.400><c> the</c><01:00:51.619><c> prayer</c><01:00:51.780><c> was</c><01:00:51.960><c> so</c><01:00:52.239><c> intense.</c>

01:00:54.139 --> 01:00:56.940
That's<01:00:54.539><c> why</c><01:00:54.780><c> there</c><01:00:54.940><c> was</c><01:00:55.119><c> such</c><01:00:55.320><c> a</c><01:00:55.559><c> communion</c><01:00:55.880><c> and</c><01:00:56.199><c> such</c><01:00:56.380><c> a</c><01:00:56.579><c> oneness.</c>

01:00:56.940 --> 01:00:59.199
That's<01:00:57.599><c> why</c><01:00:57.780><c> there</c><01:00:57.880><c> was</c><01:00:58.079><c> such</c><01:00:58.300><c> refreshment,</c>

01:00:59.420 --> 01:01:01.980
because<01:00:59.699><c> it</c><01:00:59.780><c> was</c><01:01:00.099><c> the</c><01:01:00.239><c> son</c><01:01:00.820><c> praying</c><01:01:01.340><c> to</c><01:01:01.539><c> the</c><01:01:01.719><c> father,</c>

01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:03.719
and<01:01:02.239><c> he</c><01:01:02.340><c> knew</c><01:01:02.800><c> that</c><01:01:03.099><c> relationship.</c>

01:01:04.139 --> 01:01:07.340
It<01:01:04.139><c> wasn't</c><01:01:04.980><c> a</c><01:01:05.260><c> relationship</c><01:01:05.840><c> of</c><01:01:06.280><c> an</c><01:01:06.559><c> adopted</c><01:01:06.920><c> son</c>

01:01:07.340 --> 01:01:10.599
or<01:01:07.960><c> a</c><01:01:08.340><c> son</c><01:01:08.519><c> by,</c><01:01:09.059><c> as</c><01:01:09.340><c> it</c><01:01:09.480><c> were,</c><01:01:09.699><c> a</c><01:01:09.920><c> figure</c><01:01:10.079><c> of</c><01:01:10.420><c> speech.</c>

01:01:10.719 --> 01:01:14.739
He<01:01:11.159><c> was</c><01:01:11.800><c> the</c><01:01:11.940><c> son</c><01:01:12.219><c> of</c><01:01:12.440><c> God,</c><01:01:13.920><c> and</c><01:01:14.239><c> he</c><01:01:14.420><c> knew</c><01:01:14.500><c> that.</c>

01:01:14.820 --> 01:01:17.880
He<01:01:14.920><c> entered</c><01:01:15.099><c> into</c><01:01:15.320><c> the</c><01:01:15.500><c> spirit</c><01:01:15.699><c> of</c><01:01:15.840><c> that,</c><01:01:16.079><c> and</c><01:01:16.079><c> his</c><01:01:16.239><c> father</c><01:01:16.639><c> responded.</c>

01:01:18.719 --> 01:01:19.460
You<01:01:18.900><c> see</c><01:01:19.019><c> the</c><01:01:19.260><c> point.</c>

01:01:19.480 --> 01:01:20.639
So<01:01:19.659><c> here</c><01:01:19.880><c> is</c><01:01:20.099><c> something</c><01:01:20.360><c> now.</c>

01:01:20.760 --> 01:01:23.019
What<01:01:21.019><c> will</c><01:01:21.619><c> a</c><01:01:21.980><c> father</c><01:01:22.360><c>-son</c><01:01:22.519><c> relationship?</c>

01:01:23.139 --> 01:01:26.099
We<01:01:23.300><c> know</c><01:01:23.460><c> what</c><01:01:23.679><c> that</c><01:01:23.940><c> one</c><01:01:24.099><c> did,</c><01:01:24.480><c> but</c><01:01:24.719><c> Jesus</c><01:01:25.079><c> puts</c><01:01:25.300><c> it</c><01:01:25.460><c> this</c><01:01:25.639><c> way.</c>

01:01:26.579 --> 01:01:28.599
Listen<01:01:26.980><c> to</c><01:01:27.059><c> how</c><01:01:27.199><c> he</c><01:01:27.219><c> put</c><01:01:27.440><c> it.</c>

01:01:28.980 --> 01:01:33.519
If<01:01:29.039><c> a</c><01:01:29.320><c> son</c><01:01:29.599><c> shall</c><01:01:29.880><c> ask</c><01:01:30.119><c> bread</c><01:01:30.440><c> of</c><01:01:30.860><c> any</c><01:01:31.500><c> of</c><01:01:31.920><c> you</c><01:01:32.440><c> that</c><01:01:32.760><c> is</c><01:01:33.079><c> a</c><01:01:33.260><c> father.</c>

01:01:33.780 --> 01:01:35.820
Now,<01:01:33.920><c> he's</c><01:01:33.940><c> not</c><01:01:34.139><c> talking</c><01:01:34.380><c> at</c><01:01:34.519><c> the</c><01:01:34.679><c> moment</c><01:01:34.840><c> about</c><01:01:35.000><c> his</c><01:01:35.159><c> heavenly</c><01:01:35.500><c> father.</c>

01:01:36.219 --> 01:01:38.079
He's<01:01:36.539><c> separating</c><01:01:36.940><c> them</c><01:01:37.219><c> from</c><01:01:37.360><c> their</c><01:01:37.519><c> heavenly</c><01:01:37.840><c> father.</c>

01:01:38.380 --> 01:01:40.579
Any<01:01:38.659><c> of</c><01:01:38.960><c> you,</c><01:01:39.420><c> he</c><01:01:39.420><c> said,</c><01:01:39.719><c> that</c><01:01:39.880><c> is</c><01:01:40.059><c> a</c><01:01:40.239><c> father.</c>

01:01:41.039 --> 01:01:42.800
So<01:01:41.239><c> we're</c><01:01:41.400><c> not</c><01:01:41.500><c> thinking</c><01:01:41.719><c> about</c><01:01:41.940><c> the</c><01:01:42.099><c> moment</c><01:01:42.280><c> for</c><01:01:42.480><c> the</c><01:01:42.639><c> father</c>

01:01:44.739 --> 01:01:47.380
The<01:01:44.940><c> point</c><01:01:45.079><c> that</c><01:01:45.239><c> Jesus</c><01:01:45.500><c> is</c><01:01:45.719><c> going</c><01:01:45.840><c> to</c><01:01:46.000><c> make,</c><01:01:46.260><c> brothers</c><01:01:46.460><c> and</c><01:01:46.679><c> sisters,</c>

01:01:47.559 --> 01:01:51.219
is<01:01:47.679><c> that</c><01:01:49.179><c> this</c><01:01:49.380><c> is</c><01:01:49.559><c> the</c><01:01:49.760><c> human</c><01:01:50.019><c> touchstone.</c>

01:01:52.420 --> 01:01:54.400
So<01:01:52.739><c> what</c><01:01:52.880><c> about</c><01:01:53.079><c> these</c><01:01:53.440><c> fathers?</c>

01:01:55.019 --> 01:01:56.039
Who<01:01:55.539><c> are</c><01:01:55.840><c> they?</c>

01:01:56.380 --> 01:02:00.159
Well,<01:01:56.559><c> he</c><01:01:56.679><c> says</c><01:01:56.880><c> in</c><01:01:57.059><c> verse</c><01:01:57.300><c> 13,</c><01:01:58.760><c> they're</c><01:01:58.920><c> evil.</c>

01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:03.239
Now,<01:02:01.880><c> he</c><01:02:01.960><c> didn't</c><01:02:02.179><c> mean,</c><01:02:02.599><c> brothers</c><01:02:02.800><c> and</c><01:02:02.980><c> sisters,</c>

01:02:03.420 --> 01:02:07.320
that<01:02:03.500><c> they</c><01:02:03.699><c> were</c><01:02:05.599><c> wicked</c><01:02:06.099><c> men</c><01:02:06.360><c> in</c><01:02:06.579><c> that</c><01:02:06.860><c> sense.</c>

01:02:07.739 --> 01:02:09.199
He<01:02:07.940><c> was</c><01:02:08.139><c> just</c><01:02:08.420><c> saying</c><01:02:08.659><c> that,</c>

01:02:09.199 --> 01:02:12.400
irrespective<01:02:09.960><c> of</c><01:02:10.119><c> a</c><01:02:10.260><c> man's</c><01:02:10.840><c> truthfulness</c><01:02:11.280><c> and</c><01:02:11.579><c> faithfulness,</c>

01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:14.199
he's<01:02:13.320><c> intrinsically</c><01:02:13.940><c> evil.</c>

01:02:14.280 --> 01:02:15.840
We're<01:02:14.579><c> all</c><01:02:14.960><c> intrinsically</c><01:02:15.599><c> evil.</c>

01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:17.920
We're<01:02:16.360><c> born</c><01:02:16.739><c> that</c><01:02:17.039><c> way.</c>

01:02:18.280 --> 01:02:21.300
It's<01:02:18.800><c> our</c><01:02:19.039><c> misfortune,</c><01:02:19.699><c> not</c><01:02:19.860><c> our</c><01:02:20.139><c> crime,</c><01:02:20.420><c> as</c><01:02:20.619><c> Brother</c><01:02:20.820><c> Thomas</c><01:02:21.079><c> said.</c>

01:02:21.300 --> 01:02:24.699
But<01:02:21.559><c> that's</c><01:02:22.059><c> how</c><01:02:22.420><c> we</c><01:02:22.539><c> are.</c>

01:02:24.760 --> 01:02:28.400
And<01:02:24.880><c> because</c><01:02:25.239><c> we're</c><01:02:25.639><c> like</c><01:02:25.699><c> that,</c><01:02:26.280><c> we</c><01:02:26.420><c> are</c><01:02:26.800><c> basically</c><01:02:27.420><c> selfish.</c>

01:02:28.920 --> 01:02:32.920
It's<01:02:29.360><c> absolutely</c><01:02:29.800><c> native</c><01:02:30.699><c> to</c><01:02:30.960><c> our</c><01:02:31.179><c> nature</c><01:02:31.519><c> to</c><01:02:31.719><c> be</c><01:02:31.960><c> selfish.</c>

01:02:33.400 --> 01:02:35.320
Now,<01:02:33.519><c> you</c><01:02:33.699><c> listen</c><01:02:33.880><c> to</c><01:02:34.019><c> the</c><01:02:34.159><c> point</c><01:02:34.260><c> he's</c><01:02:34.480><c> going</c><01:02:34.599><c> to</c><01:02:34.699><c> make</c><01:02:34.860><c> here.</c>

01:02:35.619 --> 01:02:38.179
It's<01:02:35.880><c> magnificent,</c><01:02:36.539><c> really.</c><01:02:37.159><c> It's</c><01:02:37.380><c> magnificent.</c>

01:02:38.480 --> 01:02:42.699
So<01:02:38.539><c> he</c><01:02:39.079><c> said,</c><01:02:39.320><c> any</c><01:02:39.480><c> of</c><01:02:39.780><c> you</c><01:02:40.159><c> that's</c><01:02:40.460><c> a</c><01:02:40.619><c> father</c><01:02:40.980><c> and</c><01:02:41.380><c> you're</c><01:02:41.719><c> evil,</c>

01:02:43.360 --> 01:02:45.619
and<01:02:43.500><c> your</c><01:02:43.699><c> son</c><01:02:43.920><c> wants</c><01:02:44.199><c> bread,</c><01:02:44.599><c> you</c><01:02:44.699><c> don't</c><01:02:44.860><c> give</c><01:02:45.000><c> him</c><01:02:45.179><c> a</c><01:02:45.340><c> stone,</c>

01:02:45.980 --> 01:02:48.320
he<01:02:46.099><c> wants</c><01:02:46.320><c> a</c><01:02:46.559><c> fish,</c><01:02:46.780><c> you</c><01:02:46.880><c> don't</c><01:02:46.960><c> give</c><01:02:47.119><c> him</c><01:02:47.280><c> a</c><01:02:47.340><c> serpent,</c>

01:02:48.340 --> 01:02:50.340
he<01:02:48.760><c> wants</c><01:02:49.000><c> an</c><01:02:49.199><c> egg,</c><01:02:49.340><c> you</c><01:02:49.420><c> don't</c><01:02:49.579><c> give</c><01:02:49.739><c> him</c><01:02:49.900><c> a</c><01:02:50.059><c> scorpion.</c>

01:02:50.340 --> 01:02:51.820
All<01:02:50.559><c> of</c><01:02:50.760><c> those</c><01:02:50.960><c> things</c><01:02:51.239><c> were</c><01:02:51.440><c> similar.</c>

01:02:52.179 --> 01:02:55.019
You<01:02:52.179><c> see,</c><01:02:52.679><c> a</c><01:02:52.900><c> stone</c><01:02:53.139><c> can</c><01:02:53.300><c> look</c><01:02:53.460><c> like</c><01:02:53.639><c> a</c><01:02:53.639><c> loaf</c><01:02:54.099><c> of</c><01:02:54.280><c> bread.</c>

01:02:55.079 --> 01:02:57.340
A<01:02:55.239><c> fish,</c><01:02:55.599><c> certain</c><01:02:55.760><c> types</c><01:02:56.079><c> of</c><01:02:56.260><c> fish,</c><01:02:56.599><c> especially</c><01:02:56.739><c> eels</c><01:02:57.139><c> and</c>

01:02:57.340 --> 01:02:57.780
those<01:02:57.539><c> things,</c>

01:02:57.940 --> 01:02:58.980
can<01:02:58.039><c> look</c><01:02:58.260><c> like</c><01:02:58.599><c> serpents.</c>

01:02:59.239 --> 01:03:01.860
And<01:02:59.360><c> they</c><01:02:59.559><c> say</c><01:02:59.659><c> the</c><01:02:59.860><c> white</c><01:03:00.179><c> scorpion,</c><01:03:00.900><c> when</c><01:03:01.099><c> he's</c><01:03:01.380><c> curled</c><01:03:01.659><c> up,</c>

01:03:01.920 --> 01:03:03.940
can<01:03:02.019><c> look</c><01:03:02.300><c> for</c><01:03:02.380><c> all</c><01:03:02.519><c> the</c><01:03:02.619><c> world</c><01:03:02.719><c> like</c><01:03:02.940><c> an</c><01:03:03.119><c> egg.</c>

01:03:04.679 --> 01:03:07.880
So<01:03:04.920><c> you</c><01:03:05.099><c> see,</c><01:03:06.320><c> I'm</c><01:03:06.639><c> a</c><01:03:06.820><c> father.</c>

01:03:09.579 --> 01:03:11.679
I<01:03:10.039><c> love</c><01:03:10.300><c> my</c><01:03:10.659><c> sons.</c>

01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:16.659
But<01:03:15.219><c> I'm</c><01:03:15.679><c> human.</c>

01:03:18.199 --> 01:03:22.019
And<01:03:18.599><c> if</c><01:03:18.920><c> my</c><01:03:19.900><c> human</c><01:03:20.139><c> nature</c><01:03:20.619><c> got</c><01:03:21.059><c> the</c><01:03:21.219><c> better</c><01:03:21.380><c> of</c><01:03:21.480><c> me</c><01:03:21.679><c> even</c><01:03:21.820><c> with</c>

01:03:22.019 --> 01:03:22.579
my<01:03:22.320><c> boys,</c>

01:03:22.739 --> 01:03:26.360
well,<01:03:23.099><c> I</c><01:03:23.139><c> can</c><01:03:23.380><c> give</c><01:03:23.519><c> them</c><01:03:23.860><c> some,</c><01:03:25.260><c> I</c><01:03:25.539><c> can</c><01:03:25.840><c> fob</c><01:03:25.980><c> them</c><01:03:26.159><c> off</c>

01:03:26.360 --> 01:03:29.480
with<01:03:26.679><c> some</c><01:03:28.260><c> duplicate</c><01:03:28.760><c> to</c><01:03:28.960><c> what</c><01:03:29.019><c> they</c><01:03:29.320><c> want.</c>

01:03:29.599 --> 01:03:31.539
I<01:03:29.820><c> wouldn't</c><01:03:30.159><c> give</c><01:03:30.380><c> them</c><01:03:30.639><c> poison</c><01:03:31.000><c> and</c><01:03:31.139><c> so</c><01:03:31.380><c> forth.</c>

01:03:31.699 --> 01:03:34.079
But<01:03:31.739><c> Jesus</c><01:03:32.039><c> has</c><01:03:32.219><c> not</c><01:03:32.420><c> said,</c><01:03:32.659><c> if</c><01:03:33.019><c> the</c><01:03:33.199><c> figure</c><01:03:33.360><c> is</c><01:03:33.619><c> exaggerated,</c>

01:03:34.420 --> 01:03:36.940
we<01:03:34.539><c> could</c><01:03:34.719><c> give</c><01:03:34.860><c> them</c><01:03:35.079><c> something</c><01:03:35.599><c> similar.</c>

01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:39.119
It<01:03:37.639><c> might</c><01:03:37.739><c> not</c><01:03:37.840><c> be</c><01:03:38.019><c> as</c><01:03:38.260><c> good</c><01:03:38.420><c> for</c><01:03:38.659><c> them.</c>

01:03:39.340 --> 01:03:41.119
It<01:03:39.539><c> might</c><01:03:39.599><c> not</c><01:03:39.699><c> be</c><01:03:39.820><c> the</c><01:03:39.940><c> right</c><01:03:40.139><c> thing</c><01:03:40.320><c> to</c><01:03:40.599><c> do.</c>

01:03:41.440 --> 01:03:43.380
But<01:03:41.599><c> it</c><01:03:41.699><c> would</c><01:03:41.820><c> be</c><01:03:41.920><c> less</c><01:03:42.159><c> expensive.</c>

01:03:46.400 --> 01:03:48.579
And,<01:03:46.800><c> well,</c><01:03:47.239><c> he'll</c><01:03:47.920><c> think</c><01:03:48.000><c> it's</c><01:03:48.219><c> all</c><01:03:48.380><c> right.</c>

01:03:49.039 --> 01:03:50.480
It's<01:03:49.440><c> like</c><01:03:49.599><c> what</c><01:03:49.780><c> he</c><01:03:49.880><c> wants,</c><01:03:50.139><c> isn't</c><01:03:50.300><c> it?</c>

01:03:50.599 --> 01:03:52.699
But<01:03:50.760><c> we</c><01:03:51.000><c> don't</c><01:03:51.300><c> do</c><01:03:51.579><c> that.</c>

01:03:53.980 --> 01:03:56.019
We<01:03:54.340><c> don't</c><01:03:54.579><c> do</c><01:03:54.880><c> that.</c>

01:03:56.300 --> 01:03:59.139
We<01:03:56.599><c> give</c><01:03:56.880><c> them</c><01:03:57.059><c> what</c><01:03:57.219><c> they</c><01:03:57.500><c> ask</c><01:03:57.659><c> for,</c><01:03:57.780><c> if</c><01:03:57.880><c> it's</c><01:03:58.039><c> good</c><01:03:58.260><c> things.</c>

01:03:59.159 --> 01:04:00.820
We<01:03:59.300><c> don't</c><01:03:59.420><c> give</c><01:03:59.500><c> them</c><01:03:59.619><c> all</c><01:03:59.760><c> they</c><01:03:59.920><c> ask</c><01:04:00.139><c> for,</c><01:04:00.280><c> but</c><01:04:00.400><c> if</c><01:04:00.420><c> it's</c><01:04:00.559><c> good,</c>

01:04:00.840 --> 01:04:03.280
as<01:04:01.000><c> Jesus</c><01:04:01.280><c> said,</c><01:04:01.760><c> they're</c><01:04:01.960><c> asking</c><01:04:02.199><c> for</c><01:04:02.400><c> bread,</c><01:04:02.719><c> fish</c><01:04:02.960><c> and</c><01:04:03.059><c> eggs.</c>

01:04:03.460 --> 01:04:04.980
Nothing<01:04:03.639><c> wrong</c><01:04:03.840><c> with</c><01:04:04.059><c> that.</c>

01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:06.340
And<01:04:05.179><c> we</c><01:04:05.380><c> don't</c><01:04:05.760><c> fob</c><01:04:06.000><c> them</c><01:04:06.199><c> off.</c>

01:04:06.460 --> 01:04:08.039
We<01:04:06.699><c> don't</c><01:04:07.000><c> give</c><01:04:07.179><c> them</c><01:04:07.360><c> something</c><01:04:07.619><c> similar.</c>

01:04:08.199 --> 01:04:09.179
We<01:04:08.400><c> give</c><01:04:08.579><c> them</c><01:04:08.719><c> what</c><01:04:08.840><c> they</c><01:04:09.079><c> want.</c>

01:04:09.280 --> 01:04:10.159
Why<01:04:09.619><c> do</c><01:04:09.900><c> we?</c>

01:04:10.159 --> 01:04:12.480
Because<01:04:10.579><c> we're</c><01:04:10.900><c> their</c><01:04:11.119><c> father</c><01:04:11.579><c> and</c><01:04:11.719><c> they're</c><01:04:12.019><c> our</c><01:04:12.219><c> son.</c>

01:04:12.820 --> 01:04:15.800
And<01:04:12.840><c> the</c><01:04:12.960><c> point</c><01:04:13.139><c> Jesus</c><01:04:13.460><c> is</c><01:04:13.679><c> making</c><01:04:13.940><c> is</c><01:04:14.579><c> that</c><01:04:14.840><c> a</c><01:04:14.940><c> filial</c><01:04:15.280><c> affection</c>

01:04:15.800 --> 01:04:18.320
of<01:04:16.340><c> a</c><01:04:16.539><c> father</c><01:04:16.780><c> for</c><01:04:17.000><c> a</c><01:04:17.179><c> son,</c><01:04:17.840><c> why?</c>

01:04:18.500 --> 01:04:22.880
It<01:04:18.639><c> will</c><01:04:19.739><c> even</c><01:04:20.039><c> transcend</c><01:04:20.980><c> human</c><01:04:21.760><c> nature.</c>

01:04:24.639 --> 01:04:26.000
Goodness<01:04:24.860><c> me.</c>

01:04:26.420 --> 01:04:28.619
Now<01:04:26.519><c> you</c><01:04:26.639><c> think</c><01:04:26.840><c> about</c><01:04:27.099><c> that.</c>

01:04:29.280 --> 01:04:32.420
An<01:04:29.519><c> affection</c><01:04:29.920><c> for</c><01:04:30.159><c> a</c><01:04:30.300><c> father</c><01:04:30.659><c> for</c><01:04:30.900><c> a</c><01:04:31.039><c> son</c><01:04:31.159><c> is</c><01:04:31.500><c> such</c>

01:04:32.699 --> 01:04:35.380
that<01:04:33.300><c> he</c><01:04:33.420><c> will</c><01:04:33.679><c> become</c><01:04:33.980><c> unselfish</c>

01:04:35.380 --> 01:04:38.460
when<01:04:35.860><c> he</c><01:04:36.159><c> basically</c><01:04:36.719><c> has</c><01:04:36.940><c> been</c><01:04:37.239><c> born</c><01:04:37.860><c> selfish.</c>

01:04:38.460 --> 01:04:40.739
Look<01:04:38.960><c> what</c><01:04:39.119><c> it</c><01:04:39.239><c> will</c><01:04:39.500><c> do.</c>

01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:44.260
Look<01:04:41.599><c> what</c><01:04:41.900><c> it</c><01:04:42.159><c> will</c><01:04:42.500><c> do,</c><01:04:43.019><c> brethren</c><01:04:43.139><c> and</c><01:04:43.400><c> sisters.</c>

01:04:44.820 --> 01:04:47.159
Now<01:04:45.019><c> he</c><01:04:45.139><c> says</c><01:04:45.280><c> if</c><01:04:45.440><c> you're</c><01:04:45.739><c> evil</c><01:04:46.000><c> and</c><01:04:46.139><c> you</c><01:04:46.239><c> can</c><01:04:46.400><c> do</c><01:04:46.599><c> that</c>

01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:50.380
and<01:04:48.000><c> you</c><01:04:48.099><c> know</c><01:04:48.260><c> how</c><01:04:48.440><c> to</c><01:04:48.599><c> give</c><01:04:48.780><c> good</c><01:04:49.420><c> gifts</c><01:04:49.679><c> under</c><01:04:49.940><c> your</c><01:04:50.199><c> children,</c>

01:04:50.519 --> 01:04:52.960
you<01:04:50.619><c> note</c><01:04:50.800><c> that</c><01:04:51.139><c> Jesus</c><01:04:51.460><c> is</c><01:04:51.699><c> not</c><01:04:51.900><c> saying</c><01:04:52.059><c> we</c><01:04:52.219><c> give</c><01:04:52.340><c> them</c><01:04:52.559><c> bad</c><01:04:52.760><c> gifts.</c>

01:04:53.079 --> 01:04:55.460
The<01:04:53.219><c> children</c><01:04:53.460><c> ask</c><01:04:53.739><c> for</c><01:04:53.880><c> bad</c><01:04:54.119><c> gifts,</c><01:04:54.320><c> they</c><01:04:54.420><c> get</c><01:04:54.619><c> nothing.</c>

01:04:55.880 --> 01:04:57.840
But<01:04:56.019><c> they</c><01:04:56.179><c> haven't</c><01:04:56.360><c> asked</c><01:04:56.599><c> for</c><01:04:56.800><c> bad</c><01:04:56.980><c> gifts.</c>

01:04:58.099 --> 01:05:01.340
The<01:04:58.260><c> child</c><01:04:58.500><c> wants</c><01:04:58.780><c> to</c><01:04:59.039><c> be</c><01:05:00.079><c> fed</c><01:05:00.380><c> and</c><01:05:00.559><c> he</c><01:05:00.639><c> wants,</c><01:05:00.840><c> I</c><01:05:01.099><c> believe,</c>

01:05:01.519 --> 01:05:03.219
their<01:05:01.559><c> symbols</c><01:05:01.900><c> of</c><01:05:02.039><c> being</c><01:05:02.460><c> spiritually</c><01:05:02.960><c> fed.</c>

01:05:03.239 --> 01:05:04.880
And<01:05:03.360><c> we're</c><01:05:03.579><c> going</c><01:05:03.599><c> to</c><01:05:03.679><c> go</c><01:05:03.800><c> out</c><01:05:03.880><c> of</c><01:05:03.960><c> our</c><01:05:04.139><c> way</c><01:05:04.340><c> to</c><01:05:04.539><c> do</c><01:05:04.699><c> that.</c>

01:05:05.179 --> 01:05:08.059
Even<01:05:05.440><c> though</c><01:05:05.880><c> human</c><01:05:06.119><c> nature</c><01:05:06.500><c> sometimes</c><01:05:06.920><c> would</c><01:05:07.599><c> want</c><01:05:07.780><c> to</c><01:05:07.920><c> say,</c>

01:05:08.059 --> 01:05:08.940
well,<01:05:08.139><c> I'm</c><01:05:08.300><c> too</c><01:05:08.639><c> tired.</c>

01:05:09.019 --> 01:05:09.840
I<01:05:09.119><c> haven't</c><01:05:09.300><c> got</c><01:05:09.420><c> the</c><01:05:09.639><c> time.</c>

01:05:09.900 --> 01:05:10.860
I<01:05:10.000><c> don't</c><01:05:10.219><c> want</c><01:05:10.340><c> to</c><01:05:10.500><c> do</c><01:05:10.619><c> it.</c>

01:05:10.960 --> 01:05:13.780
No,<01:05:11.219><c> we</c><01:05:11.980><c> will</c><01:05:12.099><c> overcome</c><01:05:12.559><c> that</c><01:05:12.719><c> because</c><01:05:12.980><c> of</c><01:05:13.159><c> our</c><01:05:13.380><c> affection</c>

01:05:13.780 --> 01:05:14.980
for<01:05:14.039><c> our</c><01:05:14.219><c> boy.</c>

01:05:16.260 --> 01:05:22.219
Well,<01:05:16.440><c> he</c><01:05:16.539><c> says,</c><01:05:17.300><c> how</c><01:05:17.420><c> much</c><01:05:18.420><c> more</c><01:05:19.599><c> shall</c><01:05:20.980><c> your</c><01:05:21.260><c> heavenly</c><01:05:21.699><c> father?</c>

01:05:22.280 --> 01:05:24.360
Now<01:05:22.699><c> you</c><01:05:22.780><c> can</c><01:05:23.000><c> think</c><01:05:23.219><c> about</c><01:05:23.460><c> that,</c><01:05:23.920><c> brethren</c><01:05:23.980><c> and</c><01:05:24.199><c> sisters,</c>

01:05:24.380 --> 01:05:28.280
but<01:05:24.719><c> when</c><01:05:24.920><c> you</c><01:05:25.099><c> think</c><01:05:25.280><c> about</c><01:05:25.519><c> it,</c><01:05:26.239><c> think</c><01:05:26.460><c> about</c><01:05:26.940><c> two</c><01:05:27.280><c> things.</c>

01:05:28.300 --> 01:05:29.519
Two<01:05:28.559><c> things.</c>

01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:34.280
There<01:05:30.199><c> are</c><01:05:30.639><c> two</c><01:05:31.699><c> fundamental</c><01:05:32.440><c> contrasts</c><01:05:33.219><c> here.</c>

01:05:34.360 --> 01:05:36.440
And<01:05:34.539><c> I'm</c><01:05:35.340><c> sure</c><01:05:35.659><c> that</c><01:05:35.860><c> you</c><01:05:35.980><c> haven't</c><01:05:36.179><c> given</c>

01:05:36.440 --> 01:05:39.360
due<01:05:36.659><c> thought</c><01:05:37.039><c> to</c><01:05:37.260><c> the</c><01:05:37.340><c> first</c><01:05:37.599><c> one</c><01:05:37.780><c> of</c><01:05:37.840><c> them,</c><01:05:38.000><c> and</c><01:05:38.099><c> that</c><01:05:38.239><c> is</c><01:05:38.380><c> this.</c>

01:05:40.260 --> 01:05:44.360
That<01:05:40.760><c> whatever</c><01:05:41.260><c> your</c><01:05:41.960><c> affection</c><01:05:42.420><c> might</c><01:05:42.800><c> be</c><01:05:43.260><c> for</c><01:05:43.599><c> your</c><01:05:44.059><c> boy,</c>

01:05:44.460 --> 01:05:46.440
and<01:05:44.639><c> I'm</c><01:05:44.840><c> using</c><01:05:45.099><c> father</c><01:05:45.400><c> and</c><01:05:45.539><c> son</c><01:05:45.780><c> because</c><01:05:45.900><c> that's</c><01:05:46.079><c> what</c><01:05:46.219><c> the</c>

01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:46.800
parable<01:05:46.639><c> is.</c>

01:05:46.840 --> 01:05:48.460
It<01:05:46.920><c> could</c><01:05:47.139><c> be</c><01:05:47.400><c> mother</c><01:05:47.639><c> and</c><01:05:47.880><c> daughter,</c><01:05:48.079><c> whatever.</c>

01:05:48.900 --> 01:05:57.360
But<01:05:49.139><c> whatever</c><01:05:49.760><c> your</c><01:05:50.460><c> affection</c><01:05:50.840><c> is,</c><01:05:51.900><c> however</c><01:05:52.199><c> close</c><01:05:52.840><c> you</c><01:05:53.699><c> think</c><01:05:54.579><c> your</c><01:05:55.800><c> family</c><01:05:56.159><c> is,</c>

01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:01.880
then<01:05:57.840><c> you</c><01:05:58.079><c> think</c><01:05:58.320><c> again</c><01:05:59.139><c> that</c><01:06:00.699><c> God</c><01:06:01.039><c> in</c><01:06:01.239><c> heaven</c><01:06:01.480><c> above</c>

01:06:01.880 --> 01:06:06.739
God<01:06:01.920><c> has</c><01:06:02.099><c> a</c><01:06:02.199><c> greater</c><01:06:02.599><c> love</c><01:06:02.860><c> for</c><01:06:03.079><c> your</c><01:06:03.480><c> child</c><01:06:03.760><c> than</c><01:06:04.079><c> you</c><01:06:04.739><c> do</c><01:06:05.139><c> yourself.</c>

01:06:07.719 --> 01:06:10.980
If<01:06:07.780><c> that</c><01:06:08.039><c> child's</c><01:06:08.360><c> in</c><01:06:08.440><c> the</c><01:06:08.659><c> truth,</c><01:06:09.900><c> following</c><01:06:10.179><c> the</c><01:06:10.300><c> way</c><01:06:10.599><c> of</c><01:06:10.719><c> righteousness,</c>

01:06:11.119 --> 01:06:13.000
asking<01:06:11.460><c> for</c><01:06:11.659><c> good</c><01:06:11.920><c> things,</c>

01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:17.239
God's<01:06:14.420><c> love</c><01:06:14.719><c> for</c><01:06:14.880><c> your</c><01:06:15.320><c> child</c><01:06:15.559><c> is</c><01:06:16.039><c> greater</c><01:06:16.480><c> than</c><01:06:16.619><c> your</c><01:06:17.019><c> love</c>

01:06:17.239 --> 01:06:17.840
for<01:06:17.380><c> your</c><01:06:17.659><c> child.</c>

01:06:17.940 --> 01:06:19.179
Never<01:06:18.219><c> forget</c><01:06:18.659><c> that.</c>

01:06:19.639 --> 01:06:21.039
That's<01:06:19.820><c> what</c><01:06:19.960><c> Jesus</c><01:06:20.280><c> is</c><01:06:20.519><c> telling</c><01:06:20.679><c> you.</c>

01:06:21.420 --> 01:06:23.460
Much<01:06:21.820><c> more.</c>

01:06:23.699 --> 01:06:26.460
You<01:06:23.780><c> know,</c><01:06:24.019><c> brothers</c><01:06:24.280><c> and</c><01:06:24.539><c> sisters,</c><01:06:25.380><c> tragedies</c><01:06:25.679><c> have</c><01:06:25.880><c> happened</c><01:06:26.000><c> in</c><01:06:26.159><c> the</c><01:06:26.320><c> truth</c>

01:06:26.460 --> 01:06:28.619
because<01:06:26.639><c> people</c><01:06:26.780><c> don't</c><01:06:27.000><c> believe</c><01:06:27.260><c> that.</c>

01:06:28.900 --> 01:06:29.840
But<01:06:29.159><c> it's</c><01:06:29.340><c> true.</c>

01:06:29.840 --> 01:06:32.179
It's<01:06:31.159><c> hard</c><01:06:31.579><c> to</c><01:06:31.760><c> imagine.</c>

01:06:32.639 --> 01:06:36.719

01:10:31.340 --> 01:10:32.880

01:10:54.619 --> 01:10:55.600
That's<01:10:54.880><c> the</c><01:10:55.000><c> Word</c><01:10:55.159><c> of</c><01:10:55.319><c> God.</c>

01:10:59.720 --> 01:11:02.119
It's<01:10:59.979><c> not</c><01:11:00.180><c> just</c><01:11:00.420><c> being</c><01:11:00.640><c> clever</c><01:11:00.899><c> to</c><01:11:01.140><c> say</c><01:11:01.319><c> that's</c><01:11:01.819><c> the</c><01:11:01.979><c> Spirit</c>

It<01:11:02.560><c> is.</c>

01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:04.600
That's<01:11:03.579><c> what</c><01:11:03.699><c> I</c><01:11:03.779><c> got</c><01:11:03.920><c> in</c><01:11:04.060><c> my</c><01:11:04.260><c> hand.</c>

01:11:11.720 --> 01:11:15.300
What<01:11:11.880><c> if</c><01:11:12.060><c> I</c><01:11:12.220><c> prayed</c><01:11:12.460><c> to</c><01:11:12.680><c> say</c><01:11:12.920><c> and</c><01:11:13.180><c> said</c><01:11:13.680><c> to</c><01:11:13.840><c> God</c><01:11:14.239><c> that</c><01:11:14.579><c> Jesus</c><01:11:14.979><c> said,</c>

01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:17.060
my<01:11:15.640><c> words</c><01:11:15.920><c> are</c><01:11:16.279><c> Spirit</c><01:11:16.579><c> and</c><01:11:16.680><c> they</c><01:11:16.800><c> are</c><01:11:16.920><c> life.</c>

01:11:17.399 --> 01:11:20.239
Please<01:11:17.800><c> let</c><01:11:18.100><c> me</c><01:11:18.380><c> understand</c><01:11:18.920><c> those</c><01:11:19.300><c> words.</c>

01:11:20.739 --> 01:11:23.720
And<01:11:20.859><c> I</c><01:11:21.000><c> kept</c><01:11:21.420><c> persisting</c><01:11:22.380><c> to</c><01:11:22.600><c> say</c><01:11:22.819><c> that.</c>

01:11:23.899 --> 01:11:25.979
Would<01:11:24.000><c> God</c><01:11:24.239><c> refuse</c><01:11:24.779><c> that</c><01:11:25.100><c> gift?</c>

01:11:27.420 --> 01:11:28.439
Of<01:11:27.600><c> course</c><01:11:27.699><c> he</c><01:11:27.800><c> wouldn't.</c>

01:11:28.699 --> 01:11:29.840
All<01:11:28.760><c> right,</c><01:11:28.920><c> there's</c><01:11:29.020><c> nothing</c><01:11:29.239><c> magical.</c>

01:11:29.840 --> 01:11:32.340
It<01:11:30.539><c> doesn't</c><01:11:30.819><c> mean</c><01:11:31.079><c> that</c><01:11:31.220><c> he'll</c><01:11:31.300><c> give</c><01:11:31.340><c> you</c><01:11:31.500><c> a</c><01:11:31.500><c> new</c><01:11:31.699><c> set</c><01:11:31.859><c> of</c><01:11:32.020><c> eyes</c>

01:11:32.340 --> 01:11:34.319
or<01:11:32.560><c> that</c><01:11:32.659><c> the</c><01:11:32.840><c> words</c><01:11:33.039><c> will</c><01:11:33.279><c> leap</c><01:11:33.539><c> out</c><01:11:33.699><c> at</c><01:11:33.779><c> you</c><01:11:33.859><c> or</c><01:11:33.880><c> anything</c><01:11:34.039><c> else.</c>

01:11:34.539 --> 01:11:37.479
But<01:11:34.659><c> everything</c><01:11:34.880><c> will</c><01:11:35.119><c> be</c><01:11:35.300><c> made</c><01:11:36.260><c> circumstantially</c><01:11:37.159><c> right</c>

01:11:37.479 --> 01:11:39.539
that<01:11:37.659><c> you</c><01:11:37.800><c> might</c><01:11:38.020><c> understand</c><01:11:38.680><c> it,</c><01:11:38.979><c> brothers</c><01:11:39.119><c> and</c><01:11:39.300><c> sisters.</c>

01:11:39.939 --> 01:11:40.800
Everything<01:11:40.140><c> will</c><01:11:40.359><c> be</c><01:11:40.600><c> done.</c>

01:11:40.979 --> 01:11:43.840
That<01:11:41.039><c> your</c><01:11:41.220><c> education</c><01:11:41.840><c> might</c><01:11:42.079><c> be</c><01:11:42.460><c> forward</c><01:11:42.699><c> in</c><01:11:42.920><c> some</c><01:11:43.220><c> way</c><01:11:43.380><c> or</c><01:11:43.539><c> another.</c>

01:11:44.340 --> 01:11:45.500
It'll<01:11:44.520><c> be</c><01:11:44.760><c> done.</c>

01:11:45.720 --> 01:11:47.979
Got<01:11:45.899><c> to</c><01:11:46.000><c> be</c><01:11:46.279><c> persistent</c><01:11:46.699><c> about</c><01:11:47.000><c> it.</c>

01:11:49.060 --> 01:11:51.979
You<01:11:49.140><c> know,</c><01:11:49.760><c> remember</c><01:11:50.180><c> a</c><01:11:50.479><c> man,</c><01:11:51.079><c> let's</c><01:11:51.319><c> have</c><01:11:51.420><c> a</c><01:11:51.439><c> look</c><01:11:51.579><c> at</c><01:11:51.659><c> him,</c>

Didn't<01:11:54.260><c> he</c><01:11:54.399><c> ask</c><01:11:54.659><c> for</c><01:11:54.819><c> good</c><01:11:55.100><c> things</c><01:11:55.260><c> and</c><01:11:55.460><c> wasn't</c><01:11:55.760><c> he</c><01:11:56.060><c> persistent?</c>

01:11:57.899 --> 01:11:59.119
Was<01:11:58.140><c> he</c><01:11:58.359><c> ever?</c>

01:11:59.279 --> 01:12:02.979
First<01:11:59.720><c> of</c><01:11:59.880><c> all,</c><01:12:00.020><c> you</c><01:12:00.020><c> look</c><01:12:00.199><c> at</c><01:12:00.279><c> Daniel</c><01:12:00.600><c> 7,</c><01:12:01.479><c> brothers</c><01:12:01.699><c> and</c><01:12:01.840><c> sisters.</c>

01:12:03.819 --> 01:12:06.539
He<01:12:03.819><c> gets</c><01:12:04.020><c> the</c><01:12:04.220><c> revelation</c><01:12:04.699><c> of</c><01:12:05.100><c> the</c><01:12:05.260><c> four</c><01:12:05.560><c> beasts.</c>

01:12:08.239 --> 01:12:10.939
And<01:12:08.300><c> he</c><01:12:08.340><c> knows</c><01:12:08.680><c> that</c><01:12:08.880><c> during</c><01:12:09.699><c> the</c><01:12:09.899><c> reign</c><01:12:10.119><c> of</c><01:12:10.260><c> the</c><01:12:10.420><c> fourth</c><01:12:10.699><c> beast,</c>

01:12:11.039 --> 01:12:11.939
the<01:12:11.159><c> Messiah</c><01:12:11.460><c> would</c><01:12:11.699><c> come.</c>

01:12:12.100 --> 01:12:14.239

01:12:14.420 --> 01:12:16.859
I<01:12:14.560><c> would</c><01:12:14.800><c> know</c><01:12:14.960><c> the</c><01:12:15.300><c> truth</c><01:12:15.579><c> of</c><01:12:15.760><c> the</c><01:12:15.939><c> fourth</c><01:12:16.640><c> beast.</c>

01:12:19.960 --> 01:12:23.020
In<01:12:20.180><c> chapter</c><01:12:20.439><c> 8</c><01:12:20.779><c> and</c><01:12:20.960><c> verse</c><01:12:21.239><c> 15,</c><01:12:21.880><c> we</c><01:12:21.979><c> read,</c>

01:12:30.220 --> 01:12:32.800
Then,<01:12:30.699><c> behold,</c><01:12:30.760><c> there</c><01:12:30.859><c> stood</c><01:12:31.079><c> before</c><01:12:31.500><c> me,</c><01:12:31.720><c> as</c><01:12:31.880><c> the</c><01:12:32.020><c> appearance</c><01:12:32.260><c> of</c><01:12:32.420><c> a</c><01:12:32.560><c> man,</c>

01:12:34.180 --> 01:12:35.779
So<01:12:34.300><c> he</c><01:12:34.340><c> said,</c><01:12:34.659><c> I</c><01:12:34.800><c> want</c><01:12:35.199><c> to</c><01:12:35.439><c> know</c><01:12:35.500><c> it.</c>

And<01:12:35.979><c> he</c><01:12:36.199><c> sought</c><01:12:36.520><c> for</c><01:12:36.760><c> it,</c><01:12:36.899><c> brothers</c><01:12:37.100><c> and</c><01:12:37.239><c> sisters.</c>

01:12:37.720 --> 01:12:43.579
He<01:12:37.960><c> asked</c><01:12:38.760><c> and</c><01:12:41.000><c> he</c><01:12:41.100><c> was</c><01:12:41.479><c> seeking</c><01:12:41.920><c> for</c><01:12:42.260><c> it.</c>
