00:04:52,240 You've been in our conventions before. 104 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,200 It's a little smaller now because things just slowed down 105 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,520 with that virus

00:05:14,440 forsake not the fellowship of the believers of the church. 111 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,680 And coming together with like-minded, life-spirited, 112 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,480 people who know how to pray, have a heart that's open to serve, 113 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:29,200 that their lives and their outlook reflects Jesus. 114 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,760 Their attitude is one of humility and grace 115 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,440 and following the Lord and believing in the power 116 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,360 of the Spirit and the fruits of the Spirit. 117 00:05:40,360

you've broken any bridges to God, He's looking to build one. 201 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:06,440 Of course, the cross is the greatest bridge. 202 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:06,920 Amen. 203 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:07,440 Yeah. 204 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,720 Jesus on the cross is the great bridge, 205 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,600 the great redeeming restore. 206 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,400 But I know people who come to Jesus, 207 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,360 had a moment at the cross, who repented and sins, 208 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,200 and walked to life and then fell away. 209 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,840 Or they feel like they missed an opportunity. 210 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,880 And maybe one time something got it away, 211 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,760 or they didn't say yes, or they missed hearing, or they stopped. 212 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:38,960 We can walk in a lifestyle where we're like, man, I just missed it. 213 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,520 And I want to encourage everyone who's coming, 214 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,240 that God will be sure you don't miss it. 215 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,920 And He will, and He is faithful to restore. 216 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,760 He's going to bring back opportunities in your life. 217 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,600 Things are going to cycle back around. 218 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,160 That's the word. 219 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,640 And give you an opportunity again to say yes. 220 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,440 It will cycle around again. 221 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,600 Those who've been faithful will be exalted. 222 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,560 Those who've been humble or willing to become humble 223 00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:11,000 will be exalted. 224 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,800 He's a God who removes reproach, and He brings gladness and joy. 225 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,640 I'm going to teach or share. 226 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,040 I don't like to say teach. 227 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:25,640 I'm going to share some insight that I believe the Holy Spirit gave me 228 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:33,440 from the Gospel of Luke and the stories about the birth and life of Jesus, 229 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,720 particularly around the birth of Jesus, and about how so many things that 230 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:46,600 happened that give us great hope that it's never too late for God 231 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,000 to move in our lives, for promises that we think have become barren 232 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,920 and dried up to become alive, awaken, and give birth to new things. 233 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,840 It's not time to say I quit. 234 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,840 It's time to say, Lord, I'm ready. 235 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,320 Use me however you like. 236 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:04,960 Yes, amen. 237 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:10,320 I think the events, the testimonies, the history of Jesus' birth, 238 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,760 you're going to be able to look at it in a way I think that you probably 239 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,360 never looked at it before. 240 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,840 I never had. 241 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:23,240 I was reading it one day, and I just went, wow, look at this. 242 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,560 And then I saw this pattern throughout the Gospel of Luke, 243 00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:29,560 throughout the Gospels. 244 00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:31,040 It's amazing. 245 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,240 It really is. 246 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,360 I'm going to show you in layers and share with you in layers 247 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:43,240 that this helped you to find some meaningful details that 248 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,760 may have been overlooked. 249 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,360 I say, you've heard me say this, I think, that when we read the Bible, 250 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,520 it's like the peeling of an onion. 251 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,640 Oh, yeah, layers. 252 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,960 Just all these layers, you can get the thinnest little skin of that onion 253 00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:02,040 away. 254 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,840 Or you can cut big chunks, of course, and get big pieces. 255 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:11,200 But there are so many layers to the Bible that we can look at, 256 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,560 and we can get that as we look at it. 257 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:17,000 Sometimes they become obvious to us. 258 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,040 Sometimes the Holy Spirit show us. 259 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,600 But sometimes it takes a friend. 260 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:28,240 Sometimes it takes a friend of the Lord, a friend in faith, to say, hey, 261 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,800 have you seen this this way? 262 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,240 I'm not talking about religious. 263 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,240 I'm not talking about doctrine. 264 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,080 You've got to have these. 265 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:43,400 I'm saying just looking at the life-giving Word, 266 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,720 the Gospel, the Bible is a living Word. 267 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,800 It's alive. 268 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,600 It's energizing, inspiring, uplifting. 269 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,840 Yes. 270 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,320 And it continues to speak. 271 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,880 Yes, certainly does. 272 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,240 I love what you said about it being cyclic. 273 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,400 As you were talking about it, before you said the word cyclic, 274 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:11,080 I'm thinking people have to understand that everything that God has created 275 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,320 is cyclic. 276 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:17,960 I mean, even the turning of the earth to make day and night, 277 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,680 every day the sun goes down and every day the sun comes up. 278 00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:27,680 In Hebrew, in biblical thought, the day begins with night. 279 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,800 Then the night goes by and the day comes. 280 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,400 And then the day goes and the night comes. 281 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,280 It's cyclic. 282 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,240 Cyclic, yeah. 283 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,080 And then the week is cyclic. 284 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,480 And then the month is cyclic. 285 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,080 And then the year is cyclic. 286 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,440 The water cycle. 287 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,120 Yeah, sure. 288 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,160 It's the hydraulic cycle. 289 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,160 The rain comes down. 290 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,400 It goes through the soil. 291 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,280 It brings forth fresh life. 292 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,680 It waters the seed. 293 00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:50,920 The things bloom. 294 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,640 It evaporates, goes back up into the heavens, if you will. 295 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,520 The clouds are formed. 296 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,760 And then the cycle begins again. 297 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,200 The rain comes down. 298 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,600 And it waters the earth. 299 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,000 So you get a second chance. 300 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,240 And you get a third chance. 301 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,440 And you get a fourth chance until the Lord says, now, that's it. 302 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,600 This is your last chance. 303 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,560 Once in a while, He'll do that. 304 00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:12,920 Well, yeah. 305 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,280 But it's usually after a lot. 306 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,400 It's usually after a lot of input where you've 307 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,280 had chance after chance. 308 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,800 I think if we're open at all in our mind and our hearts, 309 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,080 God's going to continue to give us a chance. 310 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,240 Because His heart is for restoration. 311 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,680 Absolutely. 312 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,800 It actually is the heartbeat of God. 313 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:35,760 Redemption. 314 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:36,680 Redemption. 315 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:37,920 Salvation. 316 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,720 Salvation. 317 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:40,880 You know that song. 318 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,720 I am a friend of God. 319 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,440 Yeah. 320 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:46,640 That is His song. 321 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,200 That's the Father. 322 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,120 He's ready. 323 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,040 He's looking. 324 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,520 He's waiting for us. 325 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,720 And He's going to find a way and bring an opportunity 326 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,120 and bring things all the way back around to give you 327 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,240 and to remove any shame or guilt, 328 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,960 to remove anything that people have tried to put on you 329 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,280 or the enemies tried to speak into your life 330 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,600 or on your shoulder. 331 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,440 He's the God of love and of redemption, of restoration, 332 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,240 and of second chance. 333 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,440 It's amazing. 334 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,560 Absolutely. 335 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:18,240 Yeah. 336 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,720 He's always ready to show us His love. 337 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:21,520 That's His heart. 338 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:22,400 Certainly. 339 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,280 He loves you. 340 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,480 He calls you. 341 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,320 He believes in you. 342 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,200 He calls you His beloved. 343 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,280 Absolutely. 344 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,160 So I'm just excited that I'll be able to share this with you 345 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,000 all. 346 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,240 I know we're just going to have a great time. 347 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,920 I know that the favor of God will be on it, I believe, 348 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,680 will sense the presence of the Holy Spirit falling among us 349 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,200 that will be filled with gladness and joy 350 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,840 as we recognize and really sense the heart of God for us 351 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,560 in every way possible. 352 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:55,400 Yes. 353 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,120 I really think we're in a new season of the joy of the Lord. 354 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,240 I think it's kind of like, how shall I say it? 355 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,360 The word inoculation is coming to me 356 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,800 when we get filled up with joy. 357 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,560 It enables us to kind of like ride a wave. 358 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,400 You see those surfers and they get up on the wave 359 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,720 and they just ride it. 360 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,640 Regardless of what's going on, I mean, 361 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,160 a wave can be devastating, but somebody 362 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,120 who knows how to ride it, it's like joy is your surfboard 363 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,840 that you can ride whatever is coming. 364 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,960 There's probably some tough times ahead of us. 365 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,560 With the things that go on, we are 366 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,840 having some issues in our nation and the nations of the world. 367 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,520 And there's turmoil and struggle and trouble. 368 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,440 But the joy of the Lord is our strength. 369 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,240 And when we get into His presence, 370 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,440 in His presence is fullness of joy. 371 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,960 And you come into His presence with thanksgiving. 372 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,520 So as we build a place in worship, 373 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,800 as we build a place in praise, as we build, 374 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,680 just getting into His presence, that 375 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,560 restores our joy and our gladness. 376 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,400 And if we have gotten off track in some way, 377 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,360 just coming back into His presence, 378 00:17:12,360 --> 00:17:16,000 see the enemy wants to keep us from coming into His presence. 379 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,440 So He wants to keep us from being restored. 380 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,680 So He's going to try and shame us. 381 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,320 Oh God, I'll never want you back. 382 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,520 That's a lie. 383 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,360 That's a lie. 384 00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:26,200 He's our Father. 385 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,360 He wants us. 386 00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:29,760 He wants us in relationship with Him. 387 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,400 So I'm excited about what you're bringing. 388 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,240 This is going to be wonderful. 389 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,720 Well, I love what you just said. 390 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,480 You shouldn't stop talking about that, 391 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,120 because people can't hear that enough. 392 00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:44,960 The world today will say, oh well, what God's judging, 393 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,960 instead of what God's moving on heaven and earth 394 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,120 to bring you closer to Him. 395 00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:52,920 What He's willing to do. 396 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,400 I mean, we think about it. 397 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,440 There is nothing He's not willing to do 398 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,360 to bring you closer to Him. 399 00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:00,960 Now, He's not a magic genie. 400 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,920 You don't rub the vase, and you say, 401 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,240 well, give me the winning lottery ticket, 402 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,560 and I'll come to you. 403 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,840 We're not talking about that kind of thing. 404 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:16,800 But He is going to bring and do and draw you closer. 405 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,480 That's what He wants. 406 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,120 He's looking and waiting for you. 407 00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:24,120 Looking and waiting for you. 408 00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:26,440 You asked me if I had any personal stories 409 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,320 to share about second chances. 410 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,400 And actually, I do, if that's all right. 411 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,840 I'd like to tell the story about how 412 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,680 I was supposed to be there to speak in April. 413 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,640 Do you remember? 414 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,840 Oh, yeah. 415 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,360 Do you recall what happened? 416 00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:47,880 Yeah, you wound up in a terrible place. 417 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,320 Yeah, so I was going to be there. 418 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,480 Was it April 10th I was scheduled to speak, or the 11th? 419 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,920 It was just before the eclipse on the 8th. 420 00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,040 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 421 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,520 So I was going to be there, the 8th, 422 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,440 through whatever, the 11th or 12th, 423 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,440 and Friday night or Saturday night. 424 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,560 And plus, I was going to be in the campground area sharing 425 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,600 the love of God and the love of Jesus with everyone there. 426 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,640 Just by being kind, compassionate, 427 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,120 by carrying the presence of God within us, 428 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:26,680 to let them hear Jesus in my voice, see Jesus in my eyes. 429 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:31,600 I think what we do more than just standing on a soapbox 430 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:37,520 to talk the gospel is to be the living gospel. 431 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,760 The more that we can be like Jesus, 432 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,720 the more people want to come towards Him. 433 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,800 That's what draws them in. 434 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,360 So anyway, I was going to come and hang out with you guys 435 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:52,800 and share a little bit. 436 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,600 And I was so excited about the opportunity. 437 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,400 I had gotten my camper all ready. 438 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:00,680 I had it loaded. 439 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,320 It was packed. 440 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,680 It was ready the weekend before. 441 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,640 I was so looking forward to it. 442 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:15,880 And then on April 2nd at about 11, 15, I began, 443 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,240 well, it began bleeding before that, obviously. 444 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,240 But I began to hemorrhage out and pass blood out 445 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,400 at a very alarming rate. 446 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,240 I had an internal bleed somewhere in my intestines, 447 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,000 in my upper or lower intestines or bowels. 448 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,600 And Ludd was just blowing out. 449 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,160 I was actually at a meeting, sitting in a meeting 450 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,680 with another pastor. 451 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,880 We were in his office, and Ludd just suddenly came out of me. 452 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,080 And I stood up, and there was blood on the chair 453 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,040 where I had been sitting. 454 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,800 And I rushed to the restroom, almost passed out, 455 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,760 just from what I saw as I did it. 456 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,480 And I grabbed a roll of paper towels 457 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,200 and stuffed paper towels in the bottom of my pants, 458 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,760 wrapped my backpack, my laptop, and things 459 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:12,640 we had in the meeting. 460 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:17,200 And I got in my car, and I called the emergency room 461 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,080 in my hometown, and I drove 30 miles to get there, 462 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,160 which, you know, don't do what I do. 463 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,960 That wasn't necessarily wise. 464 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,960 But I wanted to be in the emergency room 465 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,080 closest to where my family was. 466 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,720 And yet, as I was driving, I realized, this may be it. 467 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,920 Jesus, if this is going to be it, if this is the way, 468 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,080 then I can't wait to see you. 469 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,000 Wow. 470 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,360 I understood the seriousness of the condition. 471 00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:50,920 As I talked to the emergency room on the phone 472 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,680 while I'm racing to them on the interstate, 473 00:21:54,680 --> 00:22:00,680 I realized that the acute situation, how serious 474 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,440 this really was. 475 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,240 And I had a peace that came over me. 476 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,000 Some people say they had an out-of-body experience. 477 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,120 I didn't have that. 478 00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:14,800 But I had a peace that was almost like disconnected 479 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,800 from the situation that I was living in and going through. 480 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,640 When I walked in the emergency room, 481 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,200 they asked me to fill out all these forms. 482 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,560 I'm like, I'm the guy who talked to you on the phone, remember? 483 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,120 And they were like, well, you still in. 484 00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:31,800 I said, I don't have time for this. 485 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:32,560 You're going to have to figure. 486 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:33,400 Here's my wallet. 487 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,000 Here's my card. 488 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,400 And I said, I need to go into the restroom. 489 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,280 And so I went in, and then I pushed the button. 490 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,080 And when the nurse came in to see what was there 491 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,200 and what happened and the condition I was in, 492 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,000 she hit the alarm, code whatever. 493 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,280 Next thing I know, I'm being escorted. 494 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,320 And they tell me I passed out twice 495 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:03,200 before I made it to the triage, the special ICU unit. 496 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,640 And there were 10 people in my room. 497 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,160 Now, you don't get 10 people in an emergency room 498 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,320 in five minutes. 499 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,400 They were around me. 500 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,800 They were trying to wake me up. 501 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,520 I didn't realize I had passed out. 502 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,120 I was like, why are you bothering me? 503 00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:19,880 I've just closed my eyes to rest. 504 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,600 You know, no, they said you passed out. 505 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,880 I said, they go, do you know you passed out? 506 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,000 I go, no. 507 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:27,840 I passed out. 508 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:34,080 But one other thing that I did besides call the emergency room 509 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,440 on the way there, do you remember? 510 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:37,400 I called you. 511 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,240 Yeah, I called us. 512 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,240 Yes. 513 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,560 And you prayed over me. 514 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:48,000 And you prayed that when they went to look inside, 515 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,640 they wouldn't find anything. 516 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,720 Wow. 517 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,680 That God would supernaturally hear it. 518 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,000 There would be nothing. 519 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,280 When the surgeons went in, when they went to call, 520 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:02,320 when to go, they would not find a thing that might colon, 521 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:08,200 my intestines, everything would be normal and healed, 522 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,720 restored, and renewed, if you will, 523 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,760 redeem a second chance, we could say. 524 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:14,760 Wow. 525 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,400 Look at that. 526 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,120 Second chance. 527 00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:19,960 So I was in such a state, they didn't 528 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,600 want to do surgery right away. 529 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,880 They wanted to see if it would stop bleeding or slow down. 530 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,840 But they rushed me to a hospital where 531 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,480 there was a special surgeon on call 532 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,040 ready to operate immediately. 533 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,160 So I went by ambulance back the direction 534 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,960 I had already come from. 535 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,600 Oh, dear. 536 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,440 Because that was where there was a specialist. 537 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:42,920 Oh, my. 538 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,520 When I got there, everything, they 539 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,000 had done tests in the emergency room. 540 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,520 They brought x-ray equipment to me. 541 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,880 And then they brought me to a CAT scan. 542 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,760 And I went right through a CAT scan. 543 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,520 I don't hardly remember it, but I know they did that. 544 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:00,840 And they did x-rays. 545 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,240 And they even did stuff for my heart, check my heart. 546 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,360 They did sonogram heart echograms. 547 00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:12,920 They believed they saw some diureticulosis, 548 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,320 not diureticulitis, but diureticulosis, 549 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,360 and a thinning of my testing wall. 550 00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:19,720 And maybe that was it. 551 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,040 They couldn't find a hemorrhage. 552 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,040 And by the time they got me in the ambulance, 553 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,320 I had stopped bleeding. 554 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,480 When they did the EKG and the ambulance and the blood 555 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:39,240 pressure, the gentleman who did the EKG said, Mr. Mariello, 556 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,760 if I didn't know what was just going on with you, he said, 557 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:48,880 I have to tell you, and this is textbook perfect EKG. 558 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,200 Wow. 559 00:25:51,200 -->

hadn't lost my sense of humor at all. 567 00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:08,880 I was cracking gantos. 568 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,440 I called it through the whole thing, or trying to, 569 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,120 because I just had such peace. 570 00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:19,160 I actually called my grandson. 571 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,760 And then I sent him a little video 572 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,760 that I recorded wishing him. 573 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,120 It was his birthday. 574 00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:26,280 Oh, my. 575 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,360 And so they were having a birthday party for him. 576 00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:32,040 But I'm actually riding in an ambulance. 577 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,560 I record a little video and said, happy birthday. 578 00:26:34,560

581 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:42,840 from an ambulance? 582 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:43,360 Ambulance. 583 00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:46,000 You know? 584 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,000 Wow. 585 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,480 Yeah. 586 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,000 When I got in the emergency room, 587 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,080 and the specialist, the surgeon they had brought me to, 588 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,800 came to examine me and looked at me, he said, well, 589 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,160 everything looks fine now. 590 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,200 You're not hemorrhaging anymore. 591 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,840 He said, I don't want to go in there and disturb anything 592 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,000 and maybe redo the hemorrhage. 593 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,840 He said, we're going to observe you. 594 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,120 We're going to keep you, obviously, overnight. 595 00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:12,760 He said, you may be here several days. 596 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,280 He said, once we feel like you have settled, 597 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:20,560 and maybe we'll come in and we'll do the colonoscopy 598 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,200 and we'll look to repair. 599 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,240 We'll be ready to do whatever surgery we need. 600 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,760 He tried to assure me that I was in good hands 601 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,240 and that I would be monitored around the clock. 602 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,880 And I was brought up to a room. 603 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,400 Fast forward. 604 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,160 They had me scheduled all the way through Friday. 605 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,960 So this was Tuesday night. 606 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,200 So Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, they still had IVs. 607 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,560 They still had prescriptions. 608 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,480 They still had things ready for me through Friday. 609 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,240 By Wednesday night, they said, we believe you're stable enough. 610 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,280 You're doing well enough. 611 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,320 Your signs are good. 612 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,240 We're going to give you the preparation 613 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,320 for the colonoscopy. 614 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,600 So I went through that, where you have to drink two liters. 615 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,840 If you know, you know. 616 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:08,560 That's fine. 617 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,640 I hope you don't. 618 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:15,480 And they said, we're going to do your colonoscopy at 8 o'clock. 619 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,240 And the doctor pretty much read me 620 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,920 what they were expecting because of the symptom 621 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,320 that I had when I came in and what might be the possibilities. 622 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,600 And that I would at least need to be coming back 623 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,520 every year for colonoscopy. 624 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,920 I'd have to be watched. 625 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,440 Maybe they might find diverticulitis 626 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,520 or they might find a hemorrhage. 627 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,320 There could have been a tumor. 628 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,800 Could have been things they hadn't shown. 629 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,400 So it was with great concern that they were approaching this. 630 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,200 But I had that peace that passes all other standards. 631 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,160 Hallelujah. 632 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:54,640 Amen. 633 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:55,800 Hallelujah. 634 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,120 So 8 o'clock, I go in. 635 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,160 When I come out of that, I'm waking up. 636 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,720 I'm surrounded by three smiling faces, the surgeons, 637 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,240 the assistant surgeon, the anesthesiologist, 638 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,280 and the same doctor that told me I'd have to come back every year 639 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,360 and that don't go that long without colonoscopy, 640 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,040 and especially now. 641 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,520 And all of what it could have been said, Mr. Mariello, 642 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:29,080 we found a perfectly healthy colon that actually looks much 643 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,840 younger than what your age would represent. 644 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:32,520 Oh, wow. 645 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:33,000 Hallelujah. 646 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,560 Nice God. 647 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,920 We find absolutely no reason and nowhere 648 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,880 where the hemorrhage would have come from. 649 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,600 We can't explain it. 650 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,640 We don't understand it. 651 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,240 But I recommend you take Menomusil, 652 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,120 and I'll see you in five years. 653 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,280 Five years. 654 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:52,920 I love it. 655 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,720 Five years, that's great. 656 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,800 I was discharged by 11 AM. 657 00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,120 Wow. 658 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,160 Wow, yeah. 659 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,720 Glory to God. 660 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:02,400 Praise God. 661 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:03,920 That's just awesome. 662 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,760 That is a tremendous testimony. 663 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,160 But I had missed the opportunity to come to you, 664 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,720 and I was weakened still and recovering 665 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,040 from all that loss of blood. 666 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,080 And I didn't think it was wise for me 667 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,480 to travel to a whole other state after just having 668 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:21,520 experienced that. 669 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:31,400 And with no explanation why, I'm like, I'm hesitant to come 670 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,360 to talk at that Jesus rallow we were having. 671 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,960 But look at how God has redeemed that opportunity for me. 672 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,280 Isn't that beautiful? 673 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,200 That's wonderful. 674 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,040 Restored, redeemed, He brought around another opportunity 675 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,840 for me to say yes. 676 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:49,960 Oh, beautiful. 677 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:50,460 Yes. 678 00:30:50,460 --> 00:30:51,040 Beautiful. 679 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,280 To come and be with my dear friends, 680 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,800 and even in a greater opportunity 681 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,040 to be with all of those of like spirit and like mind, 682 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,520 to come and share the word, the fellowship, 683 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:07,200 to receive also personally and to hear from God 684 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,880 in a deeper way. 685 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,840 Not just to be able to share, but also to come and receive 686 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,320 and be imparted to and to give my testimony like this. 687 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,520 Yeah, that's beautiful. 688 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,440 Well, in the end, we didn't have a whole bunch of people show up. 689 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,000 We didn't have a great big rally. 690 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,840 There were just a handful of folks that came. 691 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,720 And you might have been disappointed 692 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:30,880 if you had come. 693 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,360 Yeah, that's true. 694 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,360 But I trust that when you come this time, 695 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,560 all of the pieces of the puzzle will be together. 696 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,600 And God is going to do something really, really remarkable 697 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,520 in this convention. 698 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,000 I believe this convention is going 699 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,840 to be something like we've never had before, 700 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,800 and we've always had the glory in our conventions. 701 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:52,960 It's always been wonderful. 702 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,800 And God has always showed up and changed lives 703 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,040 and all that sort of thing. 704 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:02,720 But I'm expecting something new, something fresh, something 705 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,680 that we've never experienced before, 706 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,600 because we're in that era. 707 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,080 It's time for that. 708 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,920 It's time. 709 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,800 The thing we were talking about earlier, 710 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:16,280 about troubled times, the Lord gives the word 711 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,240 that he's going to shake everything that can be shaken 712 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:24,440 so that that which cannot be shaken will remain. 713 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,480 And that's what he's doing in our lives, 714 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,920 to shake off the stuff that doesn't belong there. 715 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,160 I mean, it could be any kind of a shaking. 716 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,840 We all go through things. 717 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,400 Everybody's been through stuff. 718 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:38,960 Stuff happens. 719 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,200 Like you went through a shaking. 720 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,640 That was a shaking. 721 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:46,120 But there's something so redemptive about the shaking, 722 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:52,440 because he's after that rock, solid, foundational, 723 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,160 not able to be moved kind of a thing 724 00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,640 that he's building in us, that he's building his temple in us 725 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,960 that cannot be shaken. 726 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,240 Yeah, I agree. 727 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,520 I experienced it. 728 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,880 Yeah, that peace that passes understanding is that. 729 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:10,760 Yes. 730 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,440 Yes. 731 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:16,600 You can't touch it like you touch a rock wall or bedrock. 732 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,480 But there's something bedrockish, 733 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,400 if I can use that term to coin a term. 734 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,360 There's something bedrockish about that peace. 735 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,640 And that peace is your umpire. 736 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,560 And in today's world and culture, 737 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,960 there's chaos all around us at every level. 738 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,000 There's disagreement. 739 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,440 There's not really unity. 740 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,360 It's divisive, division. 741 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,600 But that's why it's so important to come together 742 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,880 with like-minded, like-spirited believers. 743 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,640 You come to the global outpouring, 744 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,960 because in the world today and the culture that's 745 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,720 going on today, we need to have another culture. 746 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:04,480 We need to find our tribe that will help us to have that peace 747 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,640 in the midst of the chaos and in the midst of the dust 748 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,360 of the earth. 749 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,000 We still can find an atmosphere of heaven. 750 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,360 Amen. 751 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:15,400 Amen. 752 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,280 So we welcome all of you who are listening to come, 753 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,240 if you can possibly get here. 754 00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:23,160 If you can't get here, second best 755 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,440 is to join us online on our Facebook page, 756 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,560 our global outpouring Facebook page, or our global outpouring 757 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,800 YouTube channel. 758 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,360 But there's something so special about being in the room. 759 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,600 There's nothing like being in the room. 760 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:36,360 That's right. 761 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,440 There's an atmosphere. 762 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,600 It will spill over into your living room 763 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:41,840 or wherever you watch from. 764 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,800 But there's just something. 765 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,320 It's a little harder to lay hands on people 766 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,040 when they're not present in the room. 767 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,800 So we encourage you to come if you possibly can. 768 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,320 And Pastor Larry, we're so grateful 769 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,800
