1. 0:00John chapter 3
2. 0:02I'm going to begin at verse 1.
3. 0:05I'll um
4. 0:07I'm going to read about eight verses, so
5. 0:09hang on and then I'll let you sit down.
6. 0:12There was a man of the Pharisees named
7. 0:15Nicodemus,
8. 0:17a ruler of the Jews that came the same
9. 0:20came to Jesus by night and said unto
10. 0:23him, "Rabbi, we know that thou art a man
11. 0:27a teacher come from God. For no man can
12. 0:31do these miracles that thou doest except
13. 0:35God be with him."
14. 0:37Jesus answered. Now,
15. 0:40I know it's the Bible and it says he
16. 0:43answered,
17. 0:45but he didn't answer what Nicodemus
18. 0:47said.
19. 0:49Jesus answered and said unto him,
20. 0:52"Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except
21. 0:55a man be born again, he cannot see the
22. 0:58kingdom of God."
23. 1:00Nicodemus saith unto him, "How can a man
24. 1:03be born when he is old? Can he enter the
25. 1:06second time into his mother's womb and
26. 1:08be born?" Jesus answered, "Verily,
27. 1:11verily, I say unto thee, except a man be
28. 1:14born of water and of the spirit, he
29. 1:17cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
30. 1:22That which is born of flesh is flesh.
31. 1:25And that which is born of spirit is
32. 1:27spirit. Marvel not that I said unto
33. 1:31thee, you must be born again."
34. 1:35And then verse 8, I want you to pay
35. 1:38particular attention to this mysterious
36. 1:42verse.
37. 1:44The wind bloweth
38. 1:47where it listeth.
39. 1:49That means wherever it wants to.
40. 1:53And thou hearest the sound thereof, but
41. 1:58canst not tell
42. 2:00where it comes from and where it goes.
43. 2:05So is everyone. This has something to do
44. 2:10with us.
45. 2:13Not just the preacher, pastor, leader,
46. 2:15visionary,
47. 2:17the apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher,
48. 2:21or evangelist.
49. 2:23So is everyone
50. 2:26that is born
51. 2:28of
52. 2:30the spirit.
53. 2:32And what I want to talk about this
54. 2:33morning is this,
55. 2:35where
56. 2:37the wind blows.
57. 2:44Thank you, Lord, for your word. Thank
58. 2:46you for this incredible passage.
59. 2:49Thank you for what you've taught us
60. 2:51here.
61. 2:52Quicken our minds and hearts today.
62. 2:55Speak to us through your word by your
63. 2:58spirit in Jesus' name.
64. 3:01Amen. God bless you. Thank you. Please
65. 3:03be seated.
66. 3:11Many years ago now when my grandson was
67. 3:14a baby,
68. 3:17I was um
69. 3:21it was my turn.
70. 3:24I was trying to get him to go to sleep.
71. 3:30Pretty late at night, particularly for
72. 3:32an infant.
73. 3:34He never did want to sleep. You ever had
74. 3:36one like that?
75. 3:40And I'm pacing the living room. He's in
76. 3:42my arms and I'm doing the the thing, you
77. 3:44know.
78. 3:47And I start singing to him.
79. 3:50Rock-a-bye baby
80. 3:53in the treetop.
81. 3:56When the wind blows, the cradle will
82. 4:00rock.
83. 4:05I know the words. I'm not thinking about
84. 4:07the words. I'm thinking go to sleep. Go
85. 4:08to sleep.
86. 4:09Go to sleep.
87. 4:14And when the bough breaks, the cradle
88. 4:18will fall and
89. 4:21it hit me.
90. 4:25Down will come baby, cradle and
91. 4:29I thought if this kid knew what his
92. 4:31grandpa was saying,
93. 4:37>> [clears throat]
94. 4:37>> he'd probably fake sleeping.
95. 4:41Does he
96. 4:42Is he is
97. 4:43Does my papa want to
98. 4:46kill me? Me fall out? I wondered why and
99. 4:50how
100. 4:51that became the soothing lullaby
101. 4:56that we sing
102. 4:59to put babies to sleep.
103. 5:03And I'm thinking,
104. 5:04it's pretty late at night and I'm
105. 5:06thinking,
106. 5:08and what kind of idiot puts a baby in a
107. 5:11tree?
108. 5:16Uh of course, being who I am, I couldn't
109. 5:18help it. I looked it up.
110. 5:22It was actually a political song written
111. 5:25in response to King James II
112. 5:27of England converting to Catholicism
113. 5:31and having a little baby boy.
114. 5:36And they began singing it as a death
115. 5:39threat
116. 5:41to that child.
117. 5:43They did not want a Catholic
118. 5:49line of kings.
119. 5:52Well,
120. 5:56it kind of ruined it for me.
121. 6:02But I still like one thing in that song.
122. 6:06It doesn't say
123. 6:08if the wind blows,
124. 6:12the cra- It says
125. 6:14when the wind blows.
126. 6:19BECAUSE THAT'S JUST a reflection of
127. 6:22reality.
128. 6:24We all know that sooner
129. 6:27or later,
130. 6:29the wind will blow.
131. 6:33The question about the flow of wind is
132. 6:37not if,
133. 6:40the only question
134. 6:42is where.
135. 6:47WHERE WILL THE wind blow?
136. 6:52Jesus gives us this mysterious
137. 6:57uh metaphor
138. 6:59about those who are born again of THE
139. 7:03SPIRIT
140. 7:05AND TELLS US THAT we are to be like the
141. 7:10blowing of the wind.
142. 7:14That there's some dimension
143. 7:17in this
144. 7:19in this presentation
145. 7:21of the move of the spirit of God like
146. 7:25the flow of the WIND BLOWING FROM WHERE
147. 7:28WE KNOW NOT AND TO WHERE we know not,
148. 7:32BUT WE FEEL THAT BLOWING OF THE WIND.
149. 7:37We know [screaming]
150. 7:39THAT IF IF WAIT LONG ENOUGH, IF YOU
151. 7:42DON'T GIVE UP, THE WIND OF GOD'S SPIRIT
152. 7:47IS GOING TO FLOW [screaming]
153. 7:49INTO YOUR SITUATIONS.
154. 7:58And it is THIS QUESTION OF WHERE THE
155. 8:03WIND BLOWS, NOT IF, BUT WHERE THE WIND
156. 8:08BLOWS, THAT Jesus is dealing with.
157. 8:14John 3
158. 8:16is the
159. 8:19is the precursor,
160. 8:21the pre-explanation,
161. 8:24if you will, FOR WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AT
162. 8:27PENTECOST.
163. 8:30Nicodemus
164. 8:31is a Pharisee and a member of the
165. 8:34Sanhedrin.
166. 8:37He's a little more level-headed, I
167. 8:39think, than some of them are BECAUSE HIS
168. 8:43INTEREST in this Galilean carpenter, so
169. 8:47roundly criticized and condemned by his
170. 8:50colleagues,
171. 8:52that he wishes to do a little
172. 8:55investigation
173. 8:57of his own.
174. 8:59He makes an appointment. That's kind of
175. 9:01the level-headed thing to do, isn't it?
176. 9:05I'm not going to listen to all the
177. 9:06gossip. I'm not going to listen to the
178. 9:09unfounded accusations.
179. 9:11I'M GOING TO GO TALK TO THE guy myself.
180. 9:15Now, of course, he goes at night.
181. 9:17He doesn't want to be identified as a
182. 9:20supporter.
183. 9:23So, under the cover of darkness,
184. 9:25this leader, this member of the Jewish
185. 9:30congress, if you will,
186. 9:32makes his way to Jesus.
187. 9:35They sit down together and Nicodemus
188. 9:38opens
189. 9:40Rabbi, a word of respect.
190. 9:43Teacher.
191. 9:45Rabbi.
192. 9:46We know
193. 9:50that you are a teacher come FROM
194. 9:53[clears throat] GOD.
195. 9:55NO MAN
196. 9:56CAN DO WHAT YOU'RE DOING EXCEPT GOD be
197. 10:01with him.
198. 10:05There's no question mark here.
199. 10:09It's not a question. Well, it is, but
200. 10:12it's masquerading as a statement.
201. 10:16We know you're a man come from God.
202. 10:19BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T DO WHAT you're
203. 10:21doing
204. 10:22except God be with him.
205. 10:24Period.
206. 10:27And the words hang in the air
207. 10:30between Nicodemus and Jesus.
208. 10:34And then Jesus does a strange
209. 10:38thing.
210. 10:41He responds
211. 10:43to Nicodemus
212. 10:45not only BY STARTING IN THE MIDDLE of a
213. 10:49conversation
214. 10:52BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ENTIRELY
215. 10:55DIFFERENT CONVERSATION.
216. 10:59Nicodemus actually
217. 11:02is using a little sophistry,
218. 11:06a little a little gambit here.
219. 11:10If you think about what he says
220. 11:13he is only reiterating the same question
221. 11:18that Jesus is getting almost daily in
222. 11:23the streets and in THE MARKET PLACES
223. 11:26WHEN THE Pharisees attack him.
224. 11:30Wishing to trap him into blasphemy so
225. 11:34that they can destroy him. THEY ARE
226. 11:37CONSTANTLY
227. 11:39POSING THE QUESTION, "WHO ARE YOU?"
228. 11:46THEY WANT HIM TO say what he will
229. 11:48eventually say.
230. 11:50"Before Abraham was,
231. 11:54I am."
232. 12:00And Nicodemus
233. 12:02is really questioning Jesus. "We know
234. 12:06you're a teacher come from God. No man
235. 12:08can do what you do except God be with
236. 12:11him."
237. 12:14Confirm or deny.
238. 12:20BUT TONIGHT JESUS IS NOT INTERESTED IN
239. 12:23THAT TIRED OLD DISCUSSION. So abruptly,
240. 12:26almost rudely, HE ANSWERS A QUESTION
241. 12:30THAT NICODEMUS DID not ask.
242. 12:35"TRULY," HE SAYS,
243. 12:38"I'M TELLING YOU
244. 12:40EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT
245. 12:45SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD."
246. 12:50ALL OF A SUDDEN IT ISN'T ABOUT JESUS,
247. 12:53IT'S ABOUT NICODEMUS.
248. 12:57"I'M NOT GOING TO GET IN THAT ARGUMENT.
249. 13:00IT'S NOT YET TIME FOR ME TO DECLARE TO
250. 13:02THE WORLD [screaming] WHO I TRULY AM,
251. 13:05THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB,
252. 13:08THE GOD WHO TOLD MOSES, 'TELL THEM THAT
253. 13:12THE [screaming] I AM HAS SENT THEE.' IT
254. 13:15ISN'T TIME FOR THAT, BUT LET ME TELL YOU
255. 13:17SOMETHING ABOUT YOU. EXCEPT YOU BE BORN
256. 13:21AGAIN, [screaming]
257. 13:22YOU WILL NOT SEE
258. 13:25THE kingdom
259. 13:27of God.
260. 13:32Now, this is This is a teaching session,
261. 13:35so let let me teach you a little bit
262. 13:38here. Jesus was actually using a
263. 13:42teaching technique
264. 13:44that is at least as old as Socrates.
265. 13:49It's called a misunderstanding.
266. 13:54It is a deliberate
267. 13:56statement
268. 13:58of a truth
269. 14:01in a
270. 14:04misdirecting way
271. 14:08so that deliberately
272. 14:11the student will misunderstand.
273. 14:17Often a double entendre or an obscure
274. 14:20metaphor would be used so that it almost
275. 14:24guarantees that the student taking it
276. 14:27literally will misunderstand
277. 14:30the DEEPER MEANING AND ASK ABOUT IT.
278. 14:35AND BECAUSE THE student asked the
279. 14:38question, THE TEACHER GETS TO SAY IT
280. 14:41TWICE.
281. 14:46AND OF COURSE, SINCE REPETITION, I tell
282. 14:48my students,
283. 14:49it's not that I'm old and forgetful,
284. 14:52repetition is the mother of learning.
285. 14:55SO, WHEN I TELL THE SAME old story over,
286. 14:58it's deliberate.
287. 15:06"WHAT CAN A MAN BE A BORN WHEN he is
288. 15:09old? Can he enter again into his
289. 15:11mother's womb?" See, Jesus used A DOUBLE
290. 15:14ENTENDRE. HE USED IN THE GREEK when he
291. 15:17said A MAN MUST BE born again, he used
292. 15:20the Greek word term and nothing.
293. 15:24It is a term with two meanings.
294. 15:27It means again,
295. 15:30but it also means from above.
296. 15:36Not only WAS JESUS TELLING THIS PHARISEE
297. 15:40THAT YOU'VE GOT TO BE BORN THE SECOND
298. 15:42TIME, HE WAS ALSO SAYING YOU'LL NEVER
299. 15:45LIFT YOURSELF BY YOUR OWN BOOTSTRAPS.
300. 15:48YOU WON'T LIFT YOURSELF BY EDUCATION OR
301. 15:52CULTURE OR LEARNING. [screaming]
302. 15:54YOUR SECOND BIRTH HAS TO COME FROM
303. 15:58>> [screaming]
304. 15:58>> HEAVEN ITSELF. IF YOU'RE BORN FROM
305. 16:02ABOVE, YOU HAVE [screaming]
306. 16:05A NEW LIFE.
307. 16:13SO JESUS EXPANDS. He gets that
308. 16:16opportunity because Nicodemus
309. 16:19misunderstood. How can a man be born in
310. 16:22when he is old? So Jesus does answer
311. 16:25that question. TRULY [screaming] I TELL
312. 16:27YOU, EXCEPT A MAN IS BORN OF WATER AND
313. 16:32BORN OF SPIRIT, HE CANNOT ENTER THE
314. 16:36KINGDOM OF GOD.
315. 16:38>> [screaming]
316. 16:38>> I WANT TO SETTLE IT FOR ALL TIMES. HAVE
317. 16:42NOT RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST, IF YOU HAVE
318. 16:45NOT SPOKEN IN OTHER TONGUES
319. 16:47>> [screaming]
320. 16:47>> WHEN THAT GIFT CAME IN YOUR LIFE, YOU
321. 16:50HAVE NOT BEEN BORN AGAIN. AND IF YOU
322. 16:55[screaming] HAVEN'T BEEN BORN AGAIN, YOU
323. 16:58ARE NOT IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
324. 17:03THANK GOD IT'S [screaming] NOT HARD TO
325. 17:05GET THE HOLY GHOST. THANK GOD GOD POURS
326. 17:08IT OUT ON THOSE THAT ASK HIM. IT ISN'T A
327. 17:12HILL TO CLIMB. ALL YOU GOT [screaming]
328. 17:15TO DO IS REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED IN WATER
329. 17:19IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND GOD WILL
330. 17:23[screaming]
331. 17:24FILL YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST.
332. 17:29And this is the new birth.
333. 17:39It is Jesus saying, "I'm going to give
334. 17:42the KEYS TO THIS GUY NAMED PETER.
335. 17:47AND HE'S GOING TO PREACH A SERMON
336. 17:51ON THE BIRTHDAY OF THE CHURCH.
337. 17:55AND HE'S GOING TO TELL YOU, NICODEMUS,
338. 17:59how to enter God's kingdom.
339. 18:03And it's going to be by water
340. 18:06and by the spirit.
341. 18:09And that
342. 18:11is born
343. 18:13again.
344. 18:15"Marvel not," he said.
345. 18:20THIS IS NOT COMPLEX.
346. 18:24YOU DON'T NEED A DOCTOR'S DEGREE to
347. 18:27understand it.
348. 18:29ANYBODY [screaming]
349. 18:31CAN GET IT.
350. 18:33YOUR
351. 18:34FIRST BIRTH WAS FLAWED
352. 18:40BECAUSE OF THE SINS of [screaming] Adam
353. 18:45and Eve.
354. 18:46WE ARE NOT GUILTY OF THEIR SINS. WE ARE
355. 18:51NOT BORN GOING TO HELL,
356. 18:54BUT WE ARE BORN WITH A BROKEN NATURE.
357. 18:59A SINFUL OR FALLEN NATURE.
358. 19:03WE'RE NOT GUILTY OF ADAM AND EVE'S SIN,
359. 19:07BUT ALL [screaming] HAVE SINNED AND COME
360. 19:10SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.
361. 19:13BECAUSE OF YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TEACH
362. 19:16A KID TO LIE.
363. 19:18YOU DON'T HAVE TO TEACH A KID TO STEAL.
364. 19:21YOU DON'T HAVE TO TEACH A KID TO TRY TO
365. 19:23MANIPULATE AND MAKE THEIR WAY TO FULFILL
366. 19:27THAT NO, IT COMES NATURAL. IT IS OUR
367. 19:30FALLEN NATURE. SO, GOD SAID THERE'S ONLY
368. 19:33ONE ANSWER, [screaming]
369. 19:34GET BORN ALL OVER AGAIN AND GET A WHOLE
370. 19:38NEW NATURE.
371. 19:40>> [screaming]
372. 19:46>> SHOULDN'T MARVEL?
373. 19:49IT MAKES SENSE.
374. 19:51FIRST BIRTH WAS FLAWED, SO GET BORN
375. 19:54AGAIN.
376. 19:55AND WHEN YOU GET BORN AGAIN, YOU'VE
377. 19:58STEPPED OUT OF THE FALLEN KINGDOM INTO
378. 20:01THE KINGDOM OF GOD HIMSELF.
379. 20:05And that's the only way.
380. 20:09If you haven't,
381. 20:11you cannot even see
382. 20:14the kingdom of God.
383. 20:20And then,
384. 20:23>> [clears throat]
385. 20:24>> he brings this
386. 20:26almost jarring change of subject.
387. 20:31He's talking about being born again and
388. 20:35seeing the kingdom of God, being born of
389. 20:38water and born of spirit and entering
390. 20:41the kingdom of God. And then all of a
391. 20:43sudden, apropos of nothing, HE SUDDENLY
392. 20:46SAYS,
393. 20:47"FOR THE WIND BLOWS
394. 20:50WHEREVER [screaming] IT WANTS TO.
395. 20:54AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE it's coming
396. 20:56from
397. 20:57and you don't know where IT'S GOING.
398. 21:00AND SO is everyone
399. 21:05born
400. 21:07of the Spirit.
401. 21:12What's he talking about?
402. 21:16Where does the wind blow?
403. 21:19FROM WHERE
404. 21:20DOES IT COME?
405. 21:23AND TO WHERE
406. 21:25DOES IT GO?
407. 21:28NOTHING CAN STOP IT.
408. 21:31NOTHING CAN CHANGE IT.
409. 21:34And you know when Jesus said these words
410. 21:36in the first century and in deed for
411. 21:391,000 years or more later, they didn't
412. 21:42know where the wind came from.
413. 21:44And they didn't know where the wind
414. 21:47went.
415. 21:49It was one of the great mysteries of
416. 21:53their existence.
417. 21:56But today,
418. 21:58we know where the wind blows.
419. 22:03A meteorologist
420. 22:05would say that the wind blows
421. 22:10from an area of high pressure
422. 22:15to an area OF LOW PRESSURE.
423. 22:20MUCH LIKE WATER flowing down a hill,
424. 22:24the wind blows from high pressure TO LOW
425. 22:29[screaming] PRESSURE.
426. 22:31BUT SEE,
427. 22:32without understanding
428. 22:34what causes high pressure
429. 22:38and what causes low pressure,
430. 22:42we still don't know much.
431. 22:45SO, LET ME TELL you
432. 22:48what they mean when they say
433. 22:51a area of high pressure
434. 22:54and an area OF LOW PRESSURE.
435. 22:59HIGH PRESSURE is caused and low pressure
436. 23:04is caused by a thermal
437. 23:07>> [screaming]
438. 23:07>> differential.
439. 23:13Don't look at me like that.
440. 23:16It means it flows from where it's hot
441. 23:21to where it's cold.
442. 23:25IT FLOWS FROM HEAT
443. 23:28TO LACK OF HEAT.
444. 23:34IT SAYS THAT THE WIND BLOWS FROM HOT
445. 23:40TO COLD.
446. 23:44This relationship
447. 23:46between heat
448. 23:48and wind
449. 23:50EXPLAINS WHY BOTH phenomenon
450. 23:55are present at Pentecost.
451. 24:02CLOTHING TONGUES LIKE AS OF FIRE THAT
452. 24:05SET UPON EACH OF THEM AND THE HOUSE WAS
453. 24:09FILLED WITH THE SOUND OF A ROARING
454. 24:12[screaming]
455. 24:13MIGHTY WIND.
456. 24:16>> [clears throat]
457. 24:16>> IF YOU WANT THE SPIRIT TO MOVE, IF YOU
458. 24:21WANT REVIVAL TO COME, [screaming] IF YOU
459. 24:24WANT THE WIND TO BLOW THROUGH THE DARK
460. 24:28COLD STREETS OF YOUR CITY, JUST START A
461. 24:33FIRE. [screaming]
462. 24:35AND IF YOU START THE FIRE, THE WIND WILL
463. 24:40BLOW. [screaming]
464. 24:42>> [cheering]
465. 24:47>> AMASHUNDAYA,
466. 24:49I CHALLENGE YOU. I'VE BEEN SO GRATIFIED
467. 24:52TO WATCH THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THIS CAMP
468. 24:54MEETING, TO WATCH THEM AROUND THE FRONT
469. 24:57COMING UP HERE DURING THE WORSHIP AND
470. 24:59SHOUTING AND DANCING. I'VE WATCHED THEM
471. 25:02WEEPING AND SEEKING GOD IN THE I
472. 25:04CHALLENGE YOU, YOU GO HOME AND TAKE THE
473. 25:06SAME FIRE THAT YOU HAVE KINDLED IN YOUR
474. 25:10HEART AT THE CAMP MEETING AND YOU TAKE
475. 25:13IT TO YOUR CHURCH AND REVIVAL WILL BE
476. 25:17BORN. THE WIND WILL BLOW. [screaming]
477. 25:29DEAD, [screaming] COLD CHURCHES, DEAD,
478. 25:33COLD SAINTS, DEAD, [screaming] COLD
479. 25:37PREACHERS WILL NEVER UNLEASH THE WIND OF
480. 25:40PENTECOST.
481. 25:41NOT IN THEIR CITIES, NOT IN THEIR
482. 25:44COUNTIES, BUT THE BURNING, FIERY
483. 25:48PRESENCE
484. 25:49>> [screaming]
485. 25:49>> OF THE HOLY GHOST IN THE HEARTS AND
486. 25:53LIVES OF GOD'S PEOPLE WILL BRING
487. 25:56[screaming] THE HURRICANE
488. 25:59OF REVIVAL TO ANY COMMUNITY.
489. 26:19>> [applause]
490. 26:26>> I I [clears throat] I WANT TO SAY this
491. 26:28right.
492. 26:30It's not our job
493. 26:32to produce revival.
494. 26:37Only God can bring revival.
495. 26:40Okay? It's not our job to make the wind
496. 26:43blow.
497. 26:46It's our job to start the fire.
498. 26:50To turn the temperature
499. 26:53To quit saying, "Oh, it's just WEDNESDAY
500. 26:55NIGHT."
501. 26:58"OH, PASTOR'S PREACHING this weekend.
502. 27:00It's just regular church."
503. 27:02Dragging in, sitting on the back row,
504. 27:05or even on the front row.
505. 27:08It's got to be the right song, got to be
506. 27:10the right testimony, it's got to be
507. 27:11whatever. It's all got TO SUIT US.
508. 27:15OUR JOB IS TO LIGHT THE FIRE.
509. 27:19OUR JOB IS TO GET OUR HANDS IN THE AIR.
510. 27:22OUR JOB [screaming] IS TO LIFT UP THE
511. 27:23NAME OF JESUS. OUR JOB IS TO START IN
512. 27:26THE PRAYER ROOM. OUR [screaming] JOB IS
513. 27:29TO LET THE WORLD KNOW THERE'S A FIRE
514. 27:32BURNING AT THE PENTECOSTAL CHURCH. AND
515. 27:35LET ME TELL YOU, IF YOU GET THE HEAT UP,
516. 27:38THE [screaming] WIND'S GOING TO BLOW. IF
517. 27:40YOU RAISE THE TEMPERATURE, THE WIND
518. 27:43[screaming]
519. 27:44WILL FLOW THROUGH YOUR TOWN, THROUGH
520. 27:47YOUR CITY.
521. 27:56AIN'T YOU glad we don't have to make the
522. 27:58sun come up every morning?
523. 28:05No, we don't have to.
524. 28:07All you got to do is wait a little bit,
525. 28:10OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK,
526. 28:12AND YOU'LL SEE THE SUNRISE.
527. 28:15GOD'S IN CHARGE OF THAT.
528. 28:17IF YOU WANT THE WIND TO BLOW,
529. 28:20SET A FIRE IN YOUR FAMILY, A FIRE ON
530. 28:24YOUR JOB, [screaming]
531. 28:26A FIRE AT YOUR SCHOOL, SET A FIRE IN
532. 28:31YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I PROMISE
533. 28:33[screaming] YOU THE LAWS OF SPIRITUAL
534. 28:36NATURE WILL BRING THE WIND OF PENTECOST
535. 28:40BLOWING
536. 28:41>> [screaming]
537. 28:41>> THROUGH YOUR COMMUNITY.
538. 28:51>> OKAY.
539. 28:53Since I'm trying to slow down and teach
540. 28:55here,
541. 29:00the wind, Jesus identifies this with the
542. 29:03spirit of God, the wind flows from heat
543. 29:08to cool.
544. 29:10So, what is heat?
545. 29:17Heat
546. 29:22is the movement
547. 29:24of electrons
548. 29:26within an atom, within a molecule,
549. 29:30from one orbit, a lower orbit, to a
550. 29:33higher orbit.
551. 29:37And when an electron moves from a lower
552. 29:40orbit into a higher orbit, it releases
553. 29:45energy.
554. 29:48And that energy IS IN THE FORM OF HEAT.
555. 29:57I'M JUST THROWING this in. You can't sit
556. 29:58there like a bump on a pickle
557. 30:01and get a fire started.
558. 30:07Got to be a little MOVEMENT GOING ON.
559. 30:11GOT TO BE A LITTLE MOTION HAPPENING.
560. 30:14YOU GOT TO MOVE FROM DOWN HERE UP TO
561. 30:16HERE.
562. 30:18YOU GOT TO [screaming] GET OUT OF THE
563. 30:19MULLIGRUBS. YOU GOT TO GET OUT OF
564. 30:22DEPRESSION. YOU GOT TO SHAKE OFF ANXIETY
565. 30:26AND MOVE UP A LITTLE [screaming] HIGHER.
566. 30:29AND WHEN YOU MOVE UP, IT WILL START
567. 30:32[screaming]
568. 30:33THE FIRE.
569. 30:35>> [cheering]
570. 30:45>> YOU KNOW, JESUS SAID WE have to become
571. 30:47as little children.
572. 30:49>> [snorts]
573. 30:49>> And and I know I know he's using as a
574. 30:51metaphor the innocence and and and the
575. 30:54trusting nature of a child. I understand
576. 30:57that.
577. 30:58But I also like to think that maybe he
578. 31:00had in mind for all of us who've been
579. 31:02around a while,
580. 31:04we need to become like new converts.
581. 31:08Like babies in the Lord, like children
582. 31:10in God.
583. 31:13NEW CONVERT THINKS EVERYBODY'S DOING
584. 31:15GOOD.
585. 31:16NEW CONVERT THINKS PASTOR'S THE GREATEST
586. 31:18PREACHER HE'S EVER HEARD.
587. 31:23NEW CONVERT THINKS EVERYBODY LOVES
588. 31:25EVERYBODY [screaming]
589. 31:26AND EVERYBODY GETS ALONG. NEW CONVERT
590. 31:29DON'T CARE WHAT THE SONG IS. NEW CONVERT
591. 31:33DON'T CARE WHO GOT THE SOLO. NEW CONVERT
592. 31:38DON'T CARE IF IT'S THE WORLD'S BEST
593. 31:41MUSIC OR IF THERE'S [screaming] NO
594. 31:43MUSIC. NEW CONVERT DON'T CARE.
595. 31:49>> [cheering]
596. 31:51[applause]
597. 31:56>> UH
598. 31:57I'm going to confess something to you.
599. 31:59I when I pastored
600. 32:01and I was privileged to pastor two
601. 32:02wonderful churches. But when I pastored,
602. 32:05I had a few saints that I would pray,
603. 32:07"God, would you put that new convert
604. 32:10right beside them?
605. 32:14In fact, Lord, would you let that new
606. 32:16convert beat them to church and sit in
607. 32:19their seat?"
608. 32:26FIRST SONG,
609. 32:28FIRST NOTE, THAT NEW CONVERT'S ON HIS
610. 32:31FEET. PRAISING GOD, ARMS [screaming]
611. 32:33SWINGING, VOICE LIFTED. THAT OLD SAINT
612. 32:37THAT HADN'T MOVED IN 20 YEARS, THEY GET
613. 32:39BUMPED DOWN [screaming] THE AISLE JUST A
614. 32:41LITTLE BIT. AND I SAY, "GOD, LET IT RUB
615. 32:44OFF ON THEM." WE NEED TO BE LIKE NEW
616. 32:48CONVERTS. WE NEED TO GET INTO THIS THING
617. 32:52WITH [screaming] ALL OF OUR HEARTS.
618. 33:07All right.
619. 33:09I'm going to
620. 33:10I'm going to get this in order here.
621. 33:14There is a highly technical term
622. 33:18for this event that scientists use
623. 33:22when they talk about this
624. 33:24this elevation, if you will, this moving
625. 33:26from lower orbit to higher orbit that
626. 33:29releases heat.
627. 33:32Here it is. Are you ready?
628. 33:34I'll speak slowly so you'll understand
629. 33:36it, but it's important that you know.
630. 33:38Scientists call
631. 33:40this releasing of thermal energy by the
632. 33:43motion of electrons, they call it
633. 33:47excitement.
634. 33:55I mean, I know that's very technical, so
635. 33:57I want to explain it. I'm not I'm not
636. 34:00just SAYING THAT. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
637. 34:02THE physics textbooks will teach YOU
638. 34:05THAT IT'S CALLED. THEY GET EXCITED.
639. 34:11AND WHEN THEY GET EXCITED, MOTION
640. 34:14RESULTS.
641. 34:16AND WHEN MOTION HAPPENS, A FIRE
642. 34:20[screaming]
643. 34:20IS SET.
644. 34:28I WAS [screaming] GLAD WHEN THEY SAID
645. 34:30UNTO ME,
646. 34:31"LET US GO INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD."
647. 34:36I GOT EXCITED [screaming]
648. 34:38WHEN GOD FILLED SOMEBODY WITH THE HOLY
649. 34:41GHOST. I DIDN'T JUST [screaming] STAND
650. 34:44THERE AND SAY HOW GOOD THAT WAS. I GOT
651. 34:47EXCITED
652. 34:50WHEN SOMEBODY GOT HEALED. I GOT EXCITED
653. 34:54WHEN PASTOR PREACHED THE WORD.
654. 34:56[screaming] I GOT EXCITED
655. 34:59WHEN THAT BACKSLIDER CAME HOME. I GOT
656. 35:03[screaming] EXCITED.
657. 35:12>> [applause]
658. 35:15>> ANY YOUNG PERSON HERE EXCITED TO BE
659. 35:17LIVING FOR JESUS?
660. 35:20ANYBODY HERE EXCITED TO KNOW THAT HE
661. 35:23WALKS WITH YOU? HE TALKS WITH YOU.
662. 35:26NOTHING NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU
663. 35:31SHALL PROSPER [screaming]
664. 35:32BECAUSE GOD IS RIGHT THERE WITH IT'S
665. 35:36TIME TO GET EXCITED ABOUT BEING A ONE
666. 35:39[screaming] GOD JESUS NAME APOSTOLIC
667. 35:44SAINT OF GOD.
668. 35:58Put your hand near a fire.
669. 36:01I don't care how cold your hand is,
670. 36:03you're going to begin to feel the fire.
671. 36:06Because here's the truth. This is
672. 36:08something else physics will teach you.
673. 36:11Excitement is contagious.
674. 36:18How does something heat up? How does a
675. 36:20piece of cold steel, if exposed TO A HOW
676. 36:24DOES THAT HEAT UP? ONE
677. 36:27ONE ATOM
678. 36:29IN ONE [screaming] MOLECULE
679. 36:32SUDDENLY GETS EXCITED.
680. 36:34AND THAT ELECTRON MOVES FROM THE DEPTH
681. 36:38TO THE HEIGHT. AND THAT ENERGY IS
682. 36:41EXPELLED AND IT BUMPS INTO THE ATOM NEXT
683. 36:45TO IT AND THAT ONE GETS EXCITED. AND
684. 36:48THEN IT BUMPS INTO THE ONE
685. 36:50>> [screaming]
686. 36:50>> NEXT TO IT AND THAT ONE GETS EXCITED.
687. 36:56I CHALLENGE [screaming] YOU IF NOBODY
688. 36:57ELSE IS SHOUTING, YOU SHOUT A LITTLE
689. 37:00BIT. IF NOBODY ELSE IS TALKING IN
690. 37:03TONGUES, YOU TALK IN TONGUES A LITTLE
691. 37:06BIT.
692. 37:08IF NOBODY ELSE IS PREACHING WITH PASTOR,
693. 37:12YOU [screaming] GET WITH THE PREACHER.
694. 37:28>> [applause]
695. 37:39>> I KNOW YOU'VE ENJOYED REVIVAL HERE, BUT
696. 37:42I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WE'VE NOT SEEN
697. 37:43ANYTHING YET. WE'VE NOT SEEN WHAT GOD
698. 37:46WANTS TO DO IN OVER JENNY. WE HAVEN'T
699. 37:49SEEN THE POWER OF GOD THAT HE WANTS TO
700. 37:51UNLEASH IN OUR CITIES, IN OUR TOWNS, IN
701. 37:55OUR COUNTIES. I'M TELLING [screaming]
702. 37:57YOU IF WE COULD GET EXCITED AND GET OUR
703. 38:00NEIGHBOR EXCITED AND GET THAT ONE DOWN
704. 38:03THE PEW EXCITED, GOD [screaming] IS
705. 38:05GOING TO
706. 38:06CAUSE THE WIND TO BLOW.
707. 38:09>> [cheering]
708. 38:10>> OH, LET'S praise him a moment. I feel
709. 38:12him.
710. 38:24You You can stay standing. God's doing
711. 38:26something very special.
712. 38:29I had a friend, he's gone on to be with
713. 38:31the Lord now.
714. 38:32But he was one of these that
715. 38:34He was one of these that was excited
716. 38:37that he was saved.
717. 38:39He just got excited.
718. 38:41And this this was way back.
719. 38:44I don't know if there's anybody here.
720. 38:46You got to be of a certain age
721. 38:48that remembers Saturday night church.
722. 38:53Oh, yeah, it existed.
723. 38:58When when when we came to God, I was
724. 39:01about 11 years old, 10 11 years old. We
725. 39:04had Sunday morning,
726. 39:06Sunday night,
727. 39:08Wednesday night,
728. 39:10Friday night youth service,
729. 39:12Saturday night church,
730. 39:15and then back to Sunday morning Sunday
731. 39:16night.
732. 39:18Of course, we were nuts. We had revivals
733. 39:20that started on Sunday morning, it went
734. 39:21till the next Sunday.
735. 39:23Just see if anything was going to
736. 39:24happen.
737. 39:26Anything happen,
738. 39:28if you were in
739. 39:29kind of a moderate church, you might get
740. 39:31Monday night off.
741. 39:32If you were in a liberal church, you
742. 39:34might get Monday and Tuesday night off.
743. 39:36Most of us, we just kept right on going
744. 39:39every night.
745. 39:40I WAS GLAD [screaming] WHEN THEY SAID
746. 39:42UNTO ME,
747. 39:43OH, I'M SORRY.
748. 39:45But now I want to be honest with you. I
749. 39:46want to tell you the truth.
750. 39:50That could work great.
751. 39:53And that Saturday night church,
752. 39:55it could also be dead as a hammer.
753. 39:58They knew they had Sunday morning
754. 39:59coming.
755. 40:01Many were there because of obligation.
756. 40:03This friend of mine
757. 40:05>> [clears throat]
758. 40:06>> I'm really dating it now, aren't I?
759. 40:09Back in the deep South, of course, I
760. 40:11know this is deep South, but I'm talking
761. 40:13about Mississippi,
762. 40:15Louisiana.
763. 40:18We have what we call choir.
764. 40:21Now, we had the choir,
765. 40:25but choir was for folks who could sing.
766. 40:31Choir was for everybody.
767. 40:36Yeah, we did. We did. You You remember,
768. 40:38Brother Cunningham? Everybody came to
769. 40:39the platform during song service, we
770. 40:41called it.
771. 40:42Poor sinners sitting out there by
772. 40:44themselves.
773. 40:45Nearly the whole church is up there.
774. 40:48And God help you if you stood by David
775. 40:50Dillon, cuz David Dillon couldn't carry
776. 40:52a tune in a bucket.
777. 40:54He was off key on everything.
778. 40:58But we sang with all our hearts.
779. 41:01We were there not to show OFF OUR TALENT
780. 41:05OR impress anybody with our musical
781. 41:08accomplishments.
782. 41:10WE WERE THERE TO GLORIFY THE NAME OF
783. 41:12JESUS CHRIST.
784. 41:15>> [applause]
785. 41:18>> And of course, we sang from the
786. 41:20songbook.
787. 41:22So, it opened with verse one, and then
788. 41:25the chorus, verse two, then the chorus,
789. 41:27verse three, and then the chorus, AND WE
790. 41:30ALWAYS SANG THREE SONGS.
791. 41:34AND ON THE LAST SONG, YOU'D GET A little
792. 41:37signal from the song leader, and we'd
793. 41:40all march DOWN WHILE WE'RE STILL SINGING
794. 41:43THE CHORUS OF THAT LAST SONG.
795. 41:47ON THIS PARTICULAR SATURDAY NIGHT,
796. 41:49everybody was just going through the
797. 41:50motions. There wasn't a whole lot
798. 41:53happening. They were singing, but that's
799. 41:55what you're supposed to do. They did
800. 41:58their three songs, all nine verses of
801. 42:01each one,
802. 42:02and then they started marching down. My
803. 42:05friend, his name too was David. HE HE
804. 42:10STARTED DOWN, and he began to feel
805. 42:12something. No, God's wanting to do
806. 42:14something here. God's wanting to
807. 42:16accomplish this is not just another
808. 42:18service. AND AS HE'S GOING DOWN, HE
809. 42:22SAID, "GOD, WE WE GOT TO BREAK OUT OF
810. 42:24THIS. SOMETHING'S GOT TO HAPPEN HERE."
811. 42:26AND HE TOLD ME LATER, HE SAID, "I I
812. 42:28DON'T KNOW WHAT I DON'T GET IT." HE
813. 42:30SAID, "BUT GOD SAID, [screaming]
814. 42:31'RUN!'"
815. 42:36HE SAID, "SO, I DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER.
816. 42:38I JUST TOOK OFF RUNNING."
817. 42:40AND IT'S A PRETTY BIG CHURCH. HE SAID,
818. 42:43"I RAN." HE SAID, "I DON'T MEAN I WAS
819. 42:44TROTTING. I WAS FLAT OUT BENT OVER
820. 42:47COATTAILS FLAPPING RUNNING."
821. 42:51SAID, "I RAN AROUND THE CHURCH HARD AS I
822. 42:53COULD [screaming]
823. 42:54AND EVERYBODY JUST KEPT SINGING."
824. 42:59HE SAID, "I MADE [screaming] ONE LAP,
825. 43:01NOTHING HAPPENED." THEY WERE ALL WAITING
826. 43:03ON BROTHER DAVID TO GET DONE.
827. 43:05>> [clears throat]
828. 43:06>> AND HE SAID, "I GOT TO THE FRONT OF THE

830. 43:11HE SAID, "SO, I JUST KEPT RIGHT ON GOING
831. 43:14AND I RAN AND NOTHING HAPPENED."
832. 43:18HE SAID, "AFTER THE THIRD LAP, I GOT

836. 43:27WAS JUST THE MUSIC WAITING ON BROTHER
837. 43:30DAVID TO GET DONE.
838. 43:32AND SAID, "I RAN TO THE FRONT OF THE
839. 43:34CHURCH AND I TURNED TO LOOK OUT AT THE
840. 43:36CONGREGATION AND GOD SAID, 'DO

844. 43:47HAVE A FIRE IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A
845. 43:49MOVE OF THE WIND IN OUR CITIES.
846. 43:55AND DAVID DID A SOMERSAULT RIGHT UP THE
847. 43:58CENTER AISLE. WHEN HE GOT DONE AND HE
848. 44:00STOOD BACK UP, NOTHING HAPPENED. SO, GOD
849. 44:03[screaming] SAID, "DO ANOTHER ONE." SO,
850. 44:05HE DID ANOTHER SOMERSAULT, BUT WHEN THAT
851. 44:08ONE GOT OVER AND HE STOOD [screaming]
852. 44:10BACK UP, THE POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST
853. 44:13SWEPT THROUGH THAT CONGREGATION. PEOPLE

912. 47:46DISCOURAGEMENT AND COMING OUT OF FEAR
913. 47:50AND COMING OUT OF DARKNESS AND COMING

928. 49:11>> Now the metaphor
929. 49:13The metaphor is different but the truth
930. 49:16is the same.
931. 49:18Lay aside every weight.
932. 49:22And the sin which does so easily
933. 49:26beset us.
934. 49:29Now here's what I WANT YOU TO DO.
935. 49:34Brother Jones already preached to us.
936. 49:37That the devil uses distraction.
937. 49:41He uses situations
938. 49:45and people
939. 49:46to draw our attention away.
940. 49:49TO HANG WEIGHTS ON US
941. 49:52TO DRAG US DOWN EMOTIONALLY, even
942. 49:56spiritually. I LIKE WHAT HE SAID, IF HE
943. 49:59CAN JUST GET YOU TO STAY IN THE SAME
944. 50:02PLACE, HE HAS WON.
945. 50:06I want you to make your mind up, I'm
946. 50:08done with the OLD ME.
947. 50:10I'M DONE with what I WAS.
948. 50:13I'M DONE WITH BEING A DEPRESSIVE. I'M
949. 50:16DONE WITH BEING DISCOURAGED. I'M
950. 50:18[screaming] DONE WITH BARELY MAKING IT
951. 50:21FROM SUNDAY TO SUNDAY. I'M [screaming]
952. 50:24DONE WITH IT ALL HAVING TO BE ABOUT ME.
953. 50:28THAT I CAN'T MAKE IT UNLESS EVERY SONG
954. 50:31AND EVERY SERMON ADDRESSES ME. I'M GOING
955. 50:35[screaming] TO RISE TO A HIGHER PLANE.
956. 50:38I'M GOING TO LAY ASIDE THE WEIGHTS. I'M
957. 50:41GOING TO REPENT [screaming] OF THE SINS
958. 50:44AND I'M GOING TO CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN TO
959. 50:49BE WHAT GOD [screaming]
960. 50:51HAS CALLED ME TO BE.
961. 50:54>> [applause]
962. 50:59>> AND DON'T SAY I'LL START AS SOON AS I
963. 51:01GET HOME, OR I'LL START WHEN SCHOOL
964. 51:04STARTS BACK, OR I'LL START WHEN I'M OFF
965. 51:06VACATION. I WANT YOU TO SAY, I'M
966. 51:09[screaming] STARTING RIGHT NOW.
967. 51:12>> [cheering]
968. 51:14[applause]
969. 51:15>> IT'S COLD.

971. 51:20IT IS COLD IN THE LIVING ROOMS OF PEOPLE
972. 51:24HUNGRY FOR A MEANING TO LIFE. AND THEIR
973. 51:27ONLY HOPE IS IF WE GET ON FIRE SO THAT
974. 51:32GOD'S [screaming] SPIRIT CAN FLOW INTO
975. 51:35WHERE THEY ARE.
976. 51:40So I want you to get your hands in the
977. 51:42air. I WANT YOU TO BEGIN WITH A
978. 51:45COMMITMENT [screaming] TO GOD. I AM
979. 51:48GOING TO BE BORN AGAIN ALL OVER AGAIN.
980. 51:52I'M GOING TO START MY [screaming] BRAND
981. 51:55NEW LIFE RIGHT NOW. GOD, I'M GOING TO
982. 51:59REACH HIGHER. I'M GOING TO SHOUT LOUDER.
983. 52:03I'M GOING TO DANCE LONGER. I'M GOING TO
984. 52:06PRAY MORE THAN I [screaming] EVER HAVE
985. 52:09BEFORE. I'M GOING TO LOSE MYSELF IN YOUR
986. 52:12WORD. I'M GOING TO GET THE FIRE STARTED
987. 52:17IN ME SO THAT OTHERS WILL GET EXCITED
988. 52:22[screaming]
989. 52:23ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
990. 52:25IN Jesus name, let's reach for him right
991. 52:29now each and every one of us. Let's
992. 52:33reach for his presence. Let's make that
993. 52:37commitment.
