00:00:00.571 --> 00:00:09.133
Real Life presents the Jack Hibbs Podcast, with intention and boldness to proclaim truth, equip the saints, and impact our culture.

2
00:00:09.713 --> 00:00:21.677
Christian friend, one of the great comforting facts about our lives is that we're not perfect, and we know it, but he is.

3
00:00:23.097 --> 00:00:27.018
And him in us causes us to continue on.

4
00:00:33.045 --> 00:00:41.787
Today, if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled life in Christ, then make sure you leave us one of those five-star ratings.

5
00:00:42.207 --> 00:00:45.267
To us, that's like saying, Amen or Yes.

6
00:00:45.647 --> 00:00:48.088
Then that rating will encourage others to listen.

7
00:00:48.808 --> 00:00:51.708
Now open your hearts to what God's Word has to say to you.

8
00:00:52.189 --> 00:00:53.609
Here is Jack Hibbs.

9
00:00:55.449 --> 00:00:59.850
The Hebrew Bible refers to the Messiah being Jesus Hananim.

10
00:01:01.313 --> 00:01:04.074
In scripture, put up this Hebrew word if we have this.

11
00:01:05.254 --> 00:01:05.914
Hamashiach.

12
00:01:07.254 --> 00:01:08.075
This is amazing.

13
00:01:08.435 --> 00:01:08.975
Look at this.

14
00:01:10.375 --> 00:01:11.195
Yehoshua.

15
00:01:11.975 --> 00:01:15.216
That means there's only one savior, one God, one redeemer.

16
00:01:15.576 --> 00:01:18.897
And his name, he's announced his name as Yehoshua.

17
00:01:19.277 --> 00:01:22.958
It's shortened to Yah in the Bible.

18
00:01:24.871 --> 00:01:38.963
And some of you may be hearing this for the first time ever, but if you dive into this, you will find out from Genesis to Revelation, it's none other that the Yah is the one that is the Yahhovah, the one that is Hallelujah.

19
00:01:39.544 --> 00:01:42.106
That's his name, his actual name.

20
00:01:42.286 --> 00:01:44.468
My name's Jack, his name is Yah.

21
00:01:47.771 --> 00:01:50.053
The Bible reveals the name of our God.

22
00:01:54.264 --> 00:01:56.365
And he's to be praised and he's to be honored.

23
00:01:56.445 --> 00:01:58.106
And why do I bring this up?

24
00:01:58.146 --> 00:01:59.447
Because he's transparent.

25
00:02:01.208 --> 00:02:02.109
He's open to us.

26
00:02:03.089 --> 00:02:05.671
And Paul is saying, I'm not going in my own power.

27
00:02:05.691 --> 00:02:07.852
You guys are going to send me in prayer.

28
00:02:10.334 --> 00:02:13.215
But I'm going with God on this.

29
00:02:13.376 --> 00:02:14.956
Listen, friends, listen carefully.

30
00:02:14.976 --> 00:02:17.038
You go with God, you're not shaken by stuff.

31
00:02:17.878 --> 00:02:18.559
You understand that?

32
00:02:18.579 --> 00:02:18.679
Amen.

33
00:02:19.543 --> 00:02:21.124
Listen, I mean this with all love.

34
00:02:21.764 --> 00:02:30.830
The days are very soon coming and you will experience them when your faith is going to be challenged and you're going to choose to listen to God or to man.

35
00:02:33.771 --> 00:02:36.093
And as it were, the ground's going to shake underneath you.

36
00:02:36.113 --> 00:02:37.614
And I'm not talking about an earthquake.

37
00:02:38.434 --> 00:02:41.996
And you'll be called upon to choose whom you will obey.

38
00:02:42.937 --> 00:02:44.418
Will it be the Lord Jesus Christ?

39
00:02:46.107 --> 00:02:48.350
I heard a podcast this last week, Driving Home.

40
00:02:48.390 --> 00:02:51.073
I listen to this guy's podcast often.

41
00:02:51.813 --> 00:02:52.935
And the guy's a new believer.

42
00:02:52.955 --> 00:02:55.718
He's very famous, one of the largest podcasters in the world.

43
00:02:55.738 --> 00:02:57.700
He recently came to Christ.

44
00:02:58.841 --> 00:03:00.443
And he said, I don't know what's going on with me.

45
00:03:00.803 --> 00:03:01.964
I was completely fine.

46
00:03:02.004 --> 00:03:04.507
I didn't fear death when I was sleeping with everybody.

47
00:03:04.928 --> 00:03:06.369
I was doing all kinds of drugs.

48
00:03:06.750 --> 00:03:07.571
I had no fear.

49
00:03:08.885 --> 00:03:18.371
And he said, then I accepted Jesus and I've been reading people's books and I've been reading or listening to sermons and I've been going to various churches.

50
00:03:18.431 --> 00:03:20.372
And he says, no, I'm scared to death to die.

51
00:03:20.412 --> 00:03:21.152
I'm scared to death.

52
00:03:21.432 --> 00:03:23.113
I'm absolutely paralyzed by fear.

53
00:03:23.434 --> 00:03:24.634
And I was yelling.

54
00:03:24.654 --> 00:03:29.938
I was yelling in my truck to the podcaster.

55
00:03:31.112 --> 00:03:32.613
And my, here's what I was saying.

56
00:03:32.954 --> 00:03:34.295
In fact, I got so frustrated.

57
00:03:34.315 --> 00:03:36.797
I had to text all the pastors and I just said, you need to pray for me.

58
00:03:37.057 --> 00:03:38.618
I'm listening to this podcast right now.

59
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.083
I'm not ready to have a heart attack because the guy that he had with them was not answering the question.

60
00:03:44.884 --> 00:03:54.212
Dude, if you've, if you've come to Jesus Christ, you've been delivered from the grip of fear and death that if you trust Christ and him alone, he raised you from the dead.

61
00:03:54.232 --> 00:03:54.332
Yeah.

62
00:03:56.270 --> 00:03:59.993
That he has taken the sting of death, the Bible says in the book of Hebrews, away from us.

63
00:04:00.013 --> 00:04:01.494
Do you understand that?

64
00:04:01.714 --> 00:04:06.538
Look, nobody wants needles and tubes and all that kind of stuff in suffering.

65
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:09.681
Nobody wants that.

66
00:04:11.282 --> 00:04:14.124
For the believer, death is not a problem.

67
00:04:15.565 --> 00:04:17.587
I'll admit, it's getting to that.

68
00:04:17.607 --> 00:04:18.087
It's a problem.

69
00:04:18.107 --> 00:04:18.788
It's a problem.

70
00:04:21.323 --> 00:04:27.191
But the moment we die, the Bible says, God says precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

71
00:04:27.872 --> 00:04:30.556
Listen, some of you may not be here next year or next month.

72
00:04:30.896 --> 00:04:32.719
Maybe your time is up.

73
00:04:32.859 --> 00:04:37.145
If you're a believer, if you trust Christ Jesus, listen, your graduation's coming.

74
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:39.201
And you don't need to fear that.

75
00:04:39.561 --> 00:04:40.602
Pastor, don't talk like that.

76
00:04:41.783 --> 00:04:44.686
Only a non-believer would be terrified of death.

77
00:04:45.087 --> 00:04:48.209
Or, as in this man's case, let's give them a benefit of the doubt.

78
00:04:48.670 --> 00:04:57.538
If he came to Christ, notice that his fears came listening to various ministers and reading certain books.

79
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.121
Answer to the problem.

80
00:05:00.781 --> 00:05:05.265
Stop listening to others and stop reading other books.

81
00:05:05.745 --> 00:05:10.149
Read God's book and thereby hear him speak.

82
00:05:12.571 --> 00:05:16.214
There'll be a great shift, but a lot of people don't want to do that anymore.

83
00:05:17.495 --> 00:05:20.237
Why pray when we can ask Alexa?

84
00:05:20.277 --> 00:05:23.319
Why pray when we can ask ChatGPT?

85
00:05:23.359 --> 00:05:23.620
Yeah.

86
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:29.507
And a lot of people today, a lot of young people today get all their answers from AI.

87
00:05:30.268 --> 00:05:30.889
They don't pray.

88
00:05:30.909 --> 00:05:33.512
They don't need to pray.

89
00:05:35.094 --> 00:05:35.956
You think I'm kidding?

90
00:05:36.076 --> 00:05:38.038
Only old people think I'm kidding right now.

91
00:05:38.339 --> 00:05:40.342
The young people are saying, oh, dude, that hurts.

92
00:05:41.857 --> 00:05:43.498
John 14, verse 23.

93
00:05:44.078 --> 00:05:54.524
Jesus answered and said to them, If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and he will come to him and make our home with him.

94
00:05:54.544 --> 00:05:59.326
The life of the new believer, the life of the Spirit, the ministry of the Spirit.

95
00:06:00.026 --> 00:06:02.167
Paul is saying, Will you come with me in spirit?

96
00:06:04.956 --> 00:06:09.037
The Bible says in Romans chapter eight, verse 11, Romans 8, 11.

97
00:06:09.557 --> 00:06:25.323
But if the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through the, through his spirit who dwells in you.

98
00:06:26.503 --> 00:06:29.924
That man who was afraid of dying, he needs to be reminded.

99
00:06:29.944 --> 00:06:32.365
This Christian needs to be reminded that's in the Bible.

100
00:06:33.262 --> 00:06:34.262
Romans 8, 11.

101
00:06:34.682 --> 00:06:37.923
Last time I checked, which was yesterday, it's still in the Bible.

102
00:06:39.024 --> 00:06:40.144
God raises the dead.

103
00:06:40.584 --> 00:06:45.726
And the Spirit of God, look, the Bible says the Spirit of God rose Jesus Christ from the dead.

104
00:06:46.166 --> 00:06:49.527
And the same Spirit will raise you from the dead also.

105
00:06:50.788 --> 00:06:52.868
That's the best news in the entire world.

106
00:06:52.888 --> 00:06:55.349
Amazing.

107
00:06:59.185 --> 00:07:00.086
I have this in notes.

108
00:07:00.166 --> 00:07:01.687
It's on page six.

109
00:07:01.887 --> 00:07:04.490
And it says, I just called it move in day.

110
00:07:05.490 --> 00:07:07.893
Can you say today that the Holy Spirit dwells in you?

111
00:07:07.953 --> 00:07:08.453
Don't answer.

112
00:07:09.294 --> 00:07:10.034
Don't answer.

113
00:07:10.515 --> 00:07:13.698
Can you honestly say, remember, forget about everybody in church.

114
00:07:13.758 --> 00:07:14.959
Be all alone for a moment.

115
00:07:15.359 --> 00:07:18.662
Can you say to yourself, I know the Holy Spirit dwells in me.

116
00:07:19.988 --> 00:07:21.889
I'll tell you how you'll know.

117
00:07:22.769 --> 00:07:33.755
If the Holy Spirit dwells in you, he will constantly prod you towards things of meaning, of purpose, of good, of hope, of life.

118
00:07:36.477 --> 00:07:37.217
Things that matter.

119
00:07:39.218 --> 00:07:39.538
You know what?

120
00:07:39.558 --> 00:07:43.060
If the Holy Spirit's in you, he will move you toward vision.

121
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.542
Vision meaning, I see that vision.

122
00:07:47.913 --> 00:07:49.995
I'm not going to wait around for anybody else to do that.

123
00:07:50.156 --> 00:07:52.899
I'm going to go do that by his power.

124
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:54.340
Just like the apostle Paul.

125
00:07:54.961 --> 00:07:55.782
I'm transparent.

126
00:07:55.862 --> 00:07:56.303
I'm weak.

127
00:07:56.383 --> 00:07:58.405
I'm nothing, but he is all powerful God.

128
00:07:58.926 --> 00:07:59.847
And then look, he goes on.

129
00:08:01.469 --> 00:08:02.209
Or this goes on.

130
00:08:02.550 --> 00:08:05.173
Can you say that the Holy Spirit dwells in you?

131
00:08:06.405 --> 00:08:07.386
Let me tell you this.

132
00:08:07.626 --> 00:08:10.728
If he dwells within you, then you will know it.

133
00:08:11.169 --> 00:08:18.014
Nobody moves into our house or their house where you live and you do not know it.

134
00:08:18.234 --> 00:08:23.018
When someone's in the home with you, you know it.

135
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.962
When you go into a place, you know it.

136
00:08:29.984 --> 00:08:32.986
When someone comes into that place where you're at, you know it.

137
00:08:35.430 --> 00:08:36.510
We know this as humans.

138
00:08:37.911 --> 00:08:46.852
Christian, friend, one of the great comforting facts about our lives is that we're not perfect and we know it.

139
00:08:49.193 --> 00:08:49.833
But he is.

140
00:08:51.293 --> 00:08:55.214
And him in us causes us to continue on.

141
00:08:59.215 --> 00:09:00.315
His presence exists.

142
00:09:01.266 --> 00:09:02.287
can be experienced.

143
00:09:02.607 --> 00:09:07.491
I'm not going to define how because I'm sure it's in various ways in people's lives.

144
00:09:12.835 --> 00:09:13.596
But he's present.

145
00:09:15.297 --> 00:09:16.198
Look at verse 30.

146
00:09:16.839 --> 00:09:17.159
Eager.

147
00:09:19.341 --> 00:09:21.062
He's saying, will you please come with me?

148
00:09:21.182 --> 00:09:26.186
And as we continue on together, he's talking to us here about being eager.

149
00:09:26.667 --> 00:09:28.088
Eager enough to change the world.

150
00:09:30.300 --> 00:09:37.702
I hesitated in pointing out that sub-point that underlines the main point, but it's true nonetheless.

151
00:09:37.782 --> 00:09:40.922
But we hear about this stuff all the time, but the world doesn't change.

152
00:09:41.302 --> 00:09:43.223
Oh, be a change maker.

153
00:09:43.963 --> 00:09:46.383
You can change the world, we tell our kids.

154
00:09:46.743 --> 00:09:47.484
You can change the world.

155
00:09:47.544 --> 00:09:49.964
And it's all true if, right?

156
00:09:50.764 --> 00:09:51.584
It's all true if.

157
00:09:55.425 --> 00:09:59.326
If we're focused on the things of God and if we're powered and empowered by God

158
00:10:01.152 --> 00:10:04.153
that you strive together with me in prayers for God for me.

159
00:10:05.074 --> 00:10:06.454
This man's precious.

160
00:10:06.534 --> 00:10:07.215
Do you hear him?

161
00:10:08.635 --> 00:10:13.658
How many men, just look, how many people would say this?

162
00:10:14.038 --> 00:10:28.805
How many people would say, it's really important to me, I'm asking all of you to determine to go through whatever pains it takes you to please remember to pray for me.

163
00:10:30.467 --> 00:10:31.287
Who says this?

164
00:10:34.588 --> 00:10:35.888
We're a strange culture.

165
00:10:37.748 --> 00:10:42.349
We are a hard people to bless because we're proud.

166
00:10:44.489 --> 00:10:45.109
I'm proud.

167
00:10:47.310 --> 00:10:59.692
68 years old and I'm so immature that I still get into these loving, cute little debates when we might go out to dinner with friends and I've gotta be the one that gets the bill.

168
00:11:03.056 --> 00:11:04.337
It doesn't matter what my motive is.

169
00:11:04.417 --> 00:11:06.879
My motive could be spectacularly honest and true.

170
00:11:08.281 --> 00:11:10.343
I love them and I want to bless them.

171
00:11:10.763 --> 00:11:11.824
So I've got a routine.

172
00:11:13.305 --> 00:11:18.290
And I'll either tell the server or the manager in advance.

173
00:11:18.390 --> 00:11:22.414
Sometimes I'll call ahead and say, listen, this is a setup.

174
00:11:22.754 --> 00:11:23.575
I love my friends.

175
00:11:23.995 --> 00:11:25.476
They have a tendency to grab the bill.

176
00:11:25.957 --> 00:11:27.378
Don't give it to them.

177
00:11:28.199 --> 00:11:29.260
I'll come in with a code.

178
00:11:32.938 --> 00:11:35.260
You know, I'm the guy, that's the one.

179
00:11:37.921 --> 00:11:43.325
And it's done from love, but then I also realize that there's pride in that.

180
00:11:43.345 --> 00:11:49.209
And the danger of that is what?

181
00:11:49.289 --> 00:11:49.930
Here's the danger.

182
00:11:49.990 --> 00:11:58.116
Well, gosh, I guess you're right, Pastor Jack, because there could be pride in whatever I do, so I don't want to do that, so I'll do nothing.

183
00:11:58.136 --> 00:12:01.158
Listen.

184
00:12:01.178 --> 00:12:01.458
Listen.

185
00:12:03.944 --> 00:12:11.129
Together, you guys, listen, together we are so absolutely weak, even together.

186
00:12:11.950 --> 00:12:16.773
We're weaker when we're apart, but we're weak.

187
00:12:18.134 --> 00:12:23.298
And the Bible says, in your weakness, I will perfect my strength.

188
00:12:26.300 --> 00:12:32.064
Only God is the one who can say, you know, you've been a horrific sinner.

189
00:12:32.084 --> 00:12:33.205
You've been a horrific sinner.

190
00:12:35.433 --> 00:12:36.413
Yes, Lord.

191
00:12:37.794 --> 00:12:42.696
Let me just show you, Jack, a little brief snapshot of your past.

192
00:12:44.676 --> 00:12:44.876
Right.

193
00:12:46.677 --> 00:12:54.660
For young people, that was the... That was a... What is it called?

194
00:12:54.820 --> 00:12:55.820
See, look, I don't even know.

195
00:12:56.160 --> 00:12:57.721
That was the camera, the projector.

196
00:13:00.562 --> 00:13:03.203
And it sees you, you know, you're getting into trouble.

197
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:05.860
And God says, I have it all on record.

198
00:13:05.900 --> 00:13:06.980
You know, the Bible says it.

199
00:13:07.061 --> 00:13:08.401
It writes everything down.

200
00:13:10.001 --> 00:13:11.061
And you're mortified.

201
00:13:13.822 --> 00:13:30.725
And just, listen, just when your chin gets welded to your chest because of shame, he picks you up and he says, but I died on the cross for that.

202
00:13:31.005 --> 00:13:31.145
If...

203
00:13:32.757 --> 00:13:35.098
If you're willing to invite me in, I died on the cross.

204
00:13:35.118 --> 00:13:38.579
I already paid the price for that, but it doesn't benefit you at all, Jack.

205
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:50.862
The price has been paid, but you have no benefit from that price I paid unless you apply what I gave or made available for your own life.

206
00:13:51.042 --> 00:13:52.443
Will you accept me?

207
00:13:53.503 --> 00:13:55.043
Will you receive?

208
00:13:55.263 --> 00:13:55.963
No, it's okay, Lord.

209
00:13:56.003 --> 00:13:56.504
I called ahead.

210
00:13:56.524 --> 00:13:57.404
I paid the bill in advance.

211
00:13:59.945 --> 00:14:01.085
I told the server to bring it to me.

212
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:03.019
That's human works.

213
00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:04.860
I prayed three times.

214
00:14:04.940 --> 00:14:05.461
I did this.

215
00:14:05.541 --> 00:14:06.421
I prayed five times.

216
00:14:06.701 --> 00:14:07.662
I gave this much money.

217
00:14:07.842 --> 00:14:10.423
I'm good.

218
00:14:10.504 --> 00:14:13.125
Little do you know that the film is still running.

219
00:14:14.106 --> 00:14:17.928
And God is saying, by the works of the law, you cannot come to me.

220
00:14:17.988 --> 00:14:18.688
You can't see me.

221
00:14:19.248 --> 00:14:21.249
You could be so pure in your eyes.

222
00:14:22.310 --> 00:14:23.551
But I...

223
00:14:25.373 --> 00:14:26.373
I'm talking like him.

224
00:14:26.574 --> 00:14:32.116
He said, I already told you in the book of Isaiah that your righteousness is as filthy rags.

225
00:14:32.176 --> 00:14:36.037
The word in Hebrew is your righteousness are as menstrual cloths.

226
00:14:37.338 --> 00:14:37.838
Yeah, yeah.

227
00:14:38.958 --> 00:14:40.099
It's like, really?

228
00:14:41.800 --> 00:14:42.260
Really?

229
00:14:43.420 --> 00:14:44.100
That's gross.

230
00:14:44.921 --> 00:14:46.361
And God says, that's right.

231
00:14:48.182 --> 00:14:49.163
So what do I do about this?

232
00:14:50.183 --> 00:14:52.804
Take all of this and hand it to me.

233
00:14:54.510 --> 00:14:55.170
Wait, wait.

234
00:14:55.450 --> 00:15:10.455
The eternal God, who's pure, who came into this world to show us the way, died on the cross for me, rose again from the dead, to empower all of these promises, you will take it from, you want me to hand it to you?

235
00:15:12.375 --> 00:15:12.856
That's right.

236
00:15:15.376 --> 00:15:16.977
I can't believe you would even touch me.

237
00:15:18.897 --> 00:15:20.938
I can't believe you would even take this from me.

238
00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:23.379
Give it to me.

239
00:15:24.554 --> 00:15:25.415
That's the struggle.

240
00:15:26.496 --> 00:15:33.041
Pride immediately erupts with stupid things like this.

241
00:15:33.962 --> 00:15:34.982
I'll come back next week.

242
00:15:35.002 --> 00:15:35.743
I'll think about it.

243
00:15:36.984 --> 00:15:38.806
Or I'll tell you what I'll do.

244
00:15:39.526 --> 00:15:45.791
I'm going to clean up my act, and then I'll give my heart to Jesus.

245
00:15:45.831 --> 00:15:46.692
You'll never be saved.

246
00:15:47.473 --> 00:15:49.094
You'll be lost for all eternity that way.

247
00:15:52.003 --> 00:15:55.284
Have you noticed one of Satan's greatest tactics is to tell you tomorrow?

248
00:15:57.385 --> 00:15:59.145
You know, you're going to clean the garage tomorrow.

249
00:16:00.646 --> 00:16:02.286
I've been telling myself that for years.

250
00:16:04.727 --> 00:16:08.048
The thing is, if you keep telling yourself that long enough, you actually enjoy it.

251
00:16:11.229 --> 00:16:18.211
Lisa will say the garage looks horrific, but I've told myself so many times I'll do it tomorrow that it looks fine to me today.

252
00:16:20.472 --> 00:16:22.613
Listen, Satan does that.

253
00:16:22.994 --> 00:16:24.875
Don't become a fanatic.

254
00:16:26.215 --> 00:16:29.077
You don't want to be one of those Jesus freaks, do you?

255
00:16:29.097 --> 00:16:32.419
A little later.

256
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:33.880
You're young.

257
00:16:33.900 --> 00:16:36.782
There's so much of life to live.

258
00:16:39.363 --> 00:16:40.044
Translation?

259
00:16:41.397 --> 00:16:43.658
We're terrified that you're listening to the love of God.

260
00:16:43.698 --> 00:16:55.101
You better run away from that because, listen, we want to shorten your life as fast as possible by keeping you blinded and suck you into the pit of hell so we can inflict pain into the heart of God.

261
00:16:55.141 --> 00:16:59.362
Because we hate him because he made you humans in his image.

262
00:17:01.463 --> 00:17:02.203
And he loves you.

263
00:17:03.917 --> 00:17:04.797
And he redeemed you.

264
00:17:05.018 --> 00:17:07.239
And we will do everything to stop that.

265
00:17:07.299 --> 00:17:18.725
So they do everything to tempt you to stay drugged, to stay sexed up, to stay pursuing money, whatever the distractions are, trinkets, glitter.

266
00:17:20.005 --> 00:17:20.606
Let's pray.

267
00:17:21.706 --> 00:17:22.807
Father God in heaven.

268
00:17:27.769 --> 00:17:30.090
I'm asking you, Lord, enough has been said.

269
00:17:30.150 --> 00:17:31.151
It's decision time.

270
00:17:33.270 --> 00:17:36.251
Lord, I pray for every person that's hearing this message.

271
00:17:36.812 --> 00:17:39.853
Only Bible, only verses, only your Holy Spirit.

272
00:17:41.754 --> 00:17:43.935
They're brought into the valley of decision right now.

273
00:17:44.195 --> 00:17:46.056
Yes or no for Jesus.

274
00:17:48.557 --> 00:17:50.498
You gonna stand on the dock or you gonna get on board?

275
00:17:51.899 --> 00:17:54.180
You gonna stand on the platform or you gonna get on?

276
00:17:56.761 --> 00:18:00.723
You gonna stay in your religion or you gonna meet God?

277
00:18:04.472 --> 00:18:06.813
Are you gonna try to keep convincing yourself that you're okay?

278
00:18:09.853 --> 00:18:14.514
Instead of giving up your life to him.

279
00:18:15.994 --> 00:18:23.596
Wherever you're at, whoever you may be, you know enough right now from this message to respond to Jesus.

280
00:18:25.797 --> 00:18:32.338
Tell him right now in your own words, I'm asking you, Jesus, to forgive me of my sins

281
00:18:34.780 --> 00:18:36.401
You know everything that I've ever done.

282
00:18:39.682 --> 00:18:42.444
You know the things that I thought I had kept secret.

283
00:18:45.926 --> 00:18:47.446
And you're exposing them right now.

284
00:18:51.208 --> 00:18:52.029
And I'm mortified.

285
00:18:52.049 --> 00:19:04.475
If that ever got out, my friend, it's all coming out unless it's covered by the blood of the lamb

286
00:19:06.582 --> 00:19:08.083
Jesus died on the cross for you.

287
00:19:09.704 --> 00:19:23.592
And the only way that you can survive death is by putting your faith in Christ Jesus now to say to him, I believe you died on the cross for my sins and you rose again from the dead.

288
00:19:24.952 --> 00:19:26.894
And I receive you as my Lord and Savior.

289
00:19:28.554 --> 00:19:30.576
I decide today to walk with you, Jesus.

290
00:19:32.036 --> 00:19:32.857
I want to go with you.

291
00:19:35.263 --> 00:19:36.784
And we say to you, come with us.

292
00:19:39.546 --> 00:19:41.508
Come with us, brand new brother or sister.

293
00:19:44.570 --> 00:19:50.895
Come with us, for at the end of our journey, we enter into his very presence of glory.

294
00:19:54.538 --> 00:19:59.001
Because Jesus has paid it all, and all to him we owe.

295
00:20:00.022 --> 00:20:03.765
In his name we pray, and all God's people said, Amen.

296
00:20:03.805 --> 00:20:04.626
God bless you, church.
