2
\n00:00:04,400 –> 00:00:07,200
\nwhite horns.
\nTopic is be transformed. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:07,700 –> 00:00:10,800
\nThe title for his third class is
\ntransformation. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:11,100 –> 00:00:18,300
\nHow can I well good morning
\nbrothers and sisters that’s <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:18,300 –> 00:00:21,600
\ngreat I can just keep on saying
\nthat and yeah it’s lovely. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:21,600 –> 00:00:26,000
\nThank you it’s really good.
\nI’m gonna take you home with me.<\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:26,000 –> 00:00:31,200
\nYou’re great.
\nSince morning, we’re looking at <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:31,300 –> 00:00:32,500
\ntransformation.
\nHow can I? <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:32,800 –> 00:00:36,100
\nAnd that just have a little bit
\nof a resume a, as to what we <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:36,100 –> 00:00:39,100
\nconsidered so far this week on
\nthe first day is you remember, <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:39,100 –> 00:00:41,200
\nwe looked at transformation?
\nWhat is it? <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:41,500 –> 00:00:44,800
\nAnd we recognize that
\ntransformation is a change in <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:44,800 –> 00:00:48,100
\ninternal change, but a
\nfundamental change from the <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:48,108 –> 00:00:51,700
\ncaterpillar to the butterfly.
\nIt’s not a conformation, it’s <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:51,700 –> 00:00:53,200
\nnot the change in outwardly
\nthings. <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:53,500 –> 00:00:56,000
\nWhat good is interest is how
\nwe’re changing inside. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:56,100 –> 00:00:59,100
\nAnd the question is, Have we
\nchanged from the time of our <\/p>\n
18
\n00:00:59,100 –> 00:01:01,800
\nbaptism to.
\nNow are we different people? <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:02,100 –> 00:01:06,600
\nAnd that’s the challenge and
\nday, two, we looked at why we <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:06,600 –> 00:01:07,700
\nshould change.
\nAnd why should we? <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:07,700 –> 00:01:10,600
\nBecause I’ve got it today.
\nWe’re full. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:11,600 –> 00:01:15,300
\nHey, we’re full for this tape.
\nThis is a glass of holding up. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:16,200 –> 00:01:21,900
\nWe’re full of are naturally and
\nour responsibility is to <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:22,200 –> 00:01:27,500
\ndisplace.
\nThat are How with the fruit of <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:27,500 –> 00:01:31,700
\nthe spirit?
\nSo naturally, we are full of the<\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:31,700 –> 00:01:37,100
\nnature of man and our
\nresponsibility is to displace it<\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:37,400 –> 00:01:42,500
\nwith the fruit of the spirit.
\nAnd now today is you can see how<\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:42,500 –> 00:01:45,100
\ncan we do that.
\nThat is a real challenge, isn’t <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:45,100 –> 00:01:48,000
\nit runs?
\nSo what it is relative, why we <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:53,100
\nneed to do it, but how how can
\nwe go through this process of <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:53,100 –> 00:01:56,400
\ntransformation?
\nGod has given us a each with a <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:56,400 –> 00:02:00,000
\nperiod of time on this Earth
\nwith the responsibility to <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:00,000 –> 00:02:04,800
\ntransform and so in the next and
\nI promise it will be 40 minutes.<\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:06,100 –> 00:02:09,199
\nI went on a long time yesterday,
\nI never do that, I really got <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:09,199 –> 00:02:12,200
\ncarried away, I’m sorry.
\nFree until today. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:12,200 –> 00:02:14,600
\nWe’re going to the next 40
\nminutes to look at how can I <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:14,608 –> 00:02:18,700
\ntransform?
\nI want to start off by telling <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:18,700 –> 00:02:22,400
\nyou a little story about
\nsomething that happened to me. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:22,900 –> 00:02:26,800
\nIt was around about or 15 years
\nago now and I was out with my <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:26,800 –> 00:02:29,900
\nboss in the car in London and I
\nwas driving along. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:29,900 –> 00:02:33,300
\nHe was sitting next to me and we
\ncame up to some traffic lights, <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:33,700 –> 00:02:35,700
\nyou calm traffic lights.
\nYou’re good good. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:36,200 –> 00:02:37,900
\nIt’s like terms of.
\nI need a translator at you, <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:37,900 –> 00:02:39,900
\ndon’t I?
\nSo we came up. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:40,100 –> 00:02:42,800
\nTraffic lights and I came and I
\nstopped in front of me was a <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:42,808 –> 00:02:44,800
\nmotorbike and motorbikes
\nstopped. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:44,800 –> 00:02:48,100
\nAnd I stopped talking to my boss
\nin the car and I looked up and a<\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:48,100 –> 00:02:54,200
\nguy in the motorbike I lost it.
\nI looked at my boss, I looked <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:54,200 –> 00:02:56,600
\nagain at the guy on the bike.
\nI’m thinking, oh my dear, and it<\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:56,600 –> 00:02:58,200
\nwas like struggling on this
\nfight. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:58,200 –> 00:03:02,300
\nWe better go help him to get out
\nthe car ran over, pulled up the <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:02,300 –> 00:03:06,000
\nbike and pull him up and he was
\nall a bit shaken. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:06,700 –> 00:03:09,700
\nAnd I said, are you all right?
\nHe said yeah, yeah. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:10,000 –> 00:03:12,100
\nSo what’s going on?
\nAnd he said you’re not going to <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:12,100 –> 00:03:13,900
\nbelieve this.
\nIt is absolutely true. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:13,900 –> 00:03:16,800
\nSo you’re not going to believe
\nthis he said, but today is the <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:16,800 –> 00:03:20,200
\nfirst day that I’ve ridden my
\nmotorbike without the side. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:20,300 –> 00:03:36,800
\nI’d car that is certainly true
\nthat and I think itself and its <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:36,800 –> 00:03:40,100
\ntimes going on, think toss-up I
\nbet I bet that guy has now <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:40,100 –> 00:03:42,600
\nlearned that when he stopped
\nhe’s got to put his foot down <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:46,900 –> 00:03:48,700
\nbut there’s a lesson there isn’t
\nthere? <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:49,500 –> 00:03:54,500
\nAnd the lesson is This is that
\nwe’ve got to learn different <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:54,500 –> 00:03:59,700
\nactivities.
\nBecause we’ve been riding along <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:59,800 –> 00:04:03,900
\nwith a sidecar and now we’ve got
\nto actually stretch out and put <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:03,900 –> 00:04:06,300
\nour foot down and that’s what
\nwe’re going to be doing this <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:06,300 –> 00:04:07,600
\nmorning.
\nWe’re going to be thinking about<\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:07,600 –> 00:04:09,400
\nlearning to do different
\nactivities. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:09,700 –> 00:04:13,300
\nAnd there are two certain tools
\nto assist us in this process of <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:13,300 –> 00:04:18,899
\ntransformation.
\nI have like over Tuesday <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:18,899 –> 00:04:21,600
\nafternoon syndrome and the
\nreason I call it the Tuesday <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:21,600 –> 00:04:25,000
\nafternoon syndrome is because
\nchoose the afternoon isn’t <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:25,000 –> 00:04:28,200
\nhalfway through the week and
\nit’s still a little bit too <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:28,200 –> 00:04:32,200
\nearly on in the week and the
\nweekend is a little bit far away<\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:32,200 –> 00:04:34,600
\nboth sides.
\nSo Tuesday afternoon up a little<\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:34,600 –> 00:04:39,600
\nbit.
\nAnd the challenge for me on <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:39,600 –> 00:04:45,400
\nTuesday afternoon is to try and
\nthink spiritually because I <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:45,400 –> 00:04:47,800
\ndon’t have those injections,
\nquite some Wrigley on the <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:47,800 –> 00:04:50,500
\nTuesday afternoon as I’ve had
\nperhaps at the weekend. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:51,000 –> 00:04:54,200
\nAnd I need some of those tools
\nto assist me to try and be much <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:54,200 –> 00:04:59,600
\nmore like, Jesus on a Tuesday
\nafternoon, and that’s what we’re<\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:59,600 –> 00:05:01,300
\ngonna try and think about
\ntherefore, in this <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:01,300 –> 00:05:04,700
\ntransformation.
\nAnd how can I, I want you to <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:04,700 –> 00:05:08,300
\nthink about the situation, the
\nUS Olympic Committee. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:08,300 –> 00:05:11,200
\nWhat they have done is they’ve
\nlooked at everybody in the whole<\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:11,200 –> 00:05:14,700
\nof the US.
\nAnd what they have done is <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:14,700 –> 00:05:18,000
\nthey’ve taken all that all
\nCanada and they what they have <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:18,000 –> 00:05:23,200
\ndone is the Olympic Committee of
\nyour country have actually bed <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:23,200 –> 00:05:28,000
\nin all the body mass details,
\nall the muscular structure, all <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:28,000 –> 00:05:31,600
\nthe bone composition of
\nabsolutely everybody in your <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:31,600 –> 00:05:36,600
\ncountry.
\nAnd the phone rings in your <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:36,600 –> 00:05:41,000
\nhouse and you go over and you
\npick up the phone and it is the <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:41,000 –> 00:05:45,300
\nUS Olympic Committee or your
\ncountry’s Olympic Committee and <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:45,300 –> 00:05:48,200
\nthey open up.
\nAnd they tell you that they’ve <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:48,200 –> 00:05:52,400
\nanalyzed all the data that there
\nis on everybody in your country.<\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:53,200 –> 00:05:58,400
\nAnd you, you have actually been
\nchosen from all this data to <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:58,400 –> 00:06:03,500
\nbring home the gold medal in the
\nmarathon in the next Olympic <\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:03,500 –> 00:06:04,200
\nGames.
\nYes. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:06,000 –> 00:06:07,700
\nYou think have you got the right
\nnumber to know? <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:07,700 –> 00:06:10,500
\nWe’ve got the right number but
\nit’s absurd with analyze. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:10,500 –> 00:06:13,600
\nAbsolutely everything.
\nYou put the phone down, you <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:13,600 –> 00:06:17,900
\nthinking, well, that’s actually
\nquite incredible. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:17,900 –> 00:06:20,500
\nAnd you sort of have this
\nVision, don’t you have of <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:20,600 –> 00:06:24,600
\nrunning through the Finish Line?
\nEverybody cheering going back to<\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:24,600 –> 00:06:29,300
\nyour hometown and being taken
\naround them on it and an open <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:29,300 –> 00:06:32,300
\nDeck bar, some people waving at
\nyou and cheering, and that is <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:32,300 –> 00:06:37,400
\nall fantastic stuff for you.
\nAmazingly, the whole purpose of <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:37,400 –> 00:06:42,400
\nyour life in the next two years
\nis to focus on on that marathon <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:42,900 –> 00:06:47,700
\nin the next two years.
\nAnd then you think again, you <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:47,700 –> 00:06:53,200
\nthink hold on one moment.
\nI can’t run a marathon even if I<\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:53,200 –> 00:06:55,600
\nreally, really tried.
\nI can’t run a marathon. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:58,200 –> 00:07:03,100
\nAnd that’s the challenge.
\nThe challenges is that to run a <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:03,100 –> 00:07:05,900
\nmarathon.
\nYou’ve got a train. <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:06,500 –> 00:07:10,400
\nNot merely try.
\nAnd that’s what we have got to <\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:10,400 –> 00:07:13,700
\ndo in.
\nOur marathon is trained, not <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:13,700 –> 00:07:19,900
\njust try, it says this in in
\nTimothy, let me read it to you. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:21,300 –> 00:07:25,900
\nIt says have nothing to do with
\nGodless myths, and old wives, <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:25,900 –> 00:07:30,400
\ntales, rather, train yourself to
\nbe Godly. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:31,200 –> 00:07:33,600
\nAnd that’s what we are here to
\ndo in terms of our <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:33,600 –> 00:07:39,800
\ntransformation.
\nIt is a process of training and <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:39,800 –> 00:07:43,600
\nthat’s why I chose today’s
\nreadings of 1 Corinthians 9 <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:43,600 –> 00:07:45,900
\nwhich just turn it to it with
\nme, please. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:47,300 –> 00:07:54,500
\nBecause we are athletes.
\nWe may not feel like athletes <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:54,500 –> 00:08:00,700
\nsometimes, but we are athletes
\nin a race and 1 Corinthians 9. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:04,100 –> 00:08:08,500
\nSays this.
\nAnd I’m going to become The New <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:08,500 –> 00:08:13,200
\nInternational Version, if I may
\nbecause it picks out a word <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:13,200 –> 00:08:16,600
\nthere, which I want to use
\nverse. 24 says, do not know that<\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:16,600 –> 00:08:20,000
\nin a race, all the runners run
\nbut only one gets the prize run <\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:20,000 –> 00:08:24,100
\nin such a way as to get the
\nprize, everyone who competes in <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:24,100 –> 00:08:28,700
\nthe game’s goes into strict
\ntraining, they do it to get a <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:28,700 –> 00:08:32,900
\ncrown crown that will not last
\nbut we do it to get a crown that<\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:32,900 –> 00:08:35,299
\nwill last forever.
\nThat’s what we do. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:35,299 –> 00:08:38,500
\nWe go into strict training.
\nTing, this life of <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:38,500 –> 00:08:41,000
\ntransformation is about
\ntraining. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:41,900 –> 00:08:44,800
\nThey were referring to hear
\nabout the isthmian games. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:45,800 –> 00:08:51,100
\nThe isthmian games was similar
\nto the Olympic Games and around <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:51,100 –> 00:08:55,900
\nthis region at that time in Asia
\nMinor and what would happen is <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:55,900 –> 00:09:00,500
\nthat the competitors had to go
\ninto 10 months worth of <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:00,500 –> 00:09:03,800
\ntraining.
\nAnd if they didn’t go into <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:03,900 –> 00:09:06,200
\nthose, 10 months worth of
\ntraining, they were actually <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:06,200 –> 00:09:10,200
\ndisqualified.
\nYou had to train in order to <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:10,200 –> 00:09:14,000
\neven qualify for the isthmian
\ngames and that’s the you and me <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:14,000 –> 00:09:17,400
\nas well.
\nWe are in a period of training. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:18,600 –> 00:09:22,400
\nBut what are we training?
\nBecause I tell you what, that’s <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:22,400 –> 00:09:27,100
\nwhat we need to have this vision
\nof as well for the training, I <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:27,100 –> 00:09:30,800
\nwould suggest that you do for a
\nmarathon is slightly different <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:30,800 –> 00:09:34,600
\nfrom the training that you do
\nfor a, a pie-eating contest. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:34,600 –> 00:09:37,500
\nFor instance, they are
\ncompletely different. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:38,500 –> 00:09:42,500
\nAnd what are we training for?
\nWe are training to be more like <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:42,500 –> 00:09:45,700
\nJesus.
\nWe are fulfilling the purpose <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:46,200 –> 00:09:53,500
\nfor which we were made.
\nSo transformation is not merely <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:53,500 –> 00:09:56,200
\nabout trying, it’s about
\ntraining. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:58,100 –> 00:10:02,200
\nAnd the Latin word for training
\nis disciplina. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:10:04,000 –> 00:10:09,700
\nAnd from that word we get the
\nword disciplines so training <\/p>\n
154
\n00:10:09,700 –> 00:10:14,200
\nrequires a set of disciplines.
\nNow I think that the word <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:14,200 –> 00:10:17,500
\ndisciplines has some very
\nunfortunate connotations because<\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:18,200 –> 00:10:22,300
\ndisciplines we think of being
\nvery rigid and very mechanical <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:23,000 –> 00:10:26,600
\nbut that’s because we focus on
\nthe disciplines themselves as <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:26,600 –> 00:10:29,400
\nopposed to focusing on the
\npurpose itself. <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:31,000 –> 00:10:34,500
\nSo we need to think about the
\npurpose for which we are <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:34,500 –> 00:10:38,500
\ntraining and have some
\ndisciplines trained ourselves <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:38,600 –> 00:10:42,600
\ninto doing certain things that
\nwill help us transform because <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:42,600 –> 00:10:45,600
\nit’s not just by really gritting
\nour teeth that we’re going to <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:45,600 –> 00:10:49,100
\ntransform.
\nWe’re going to have to train as <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:49,100 –> 00:10:54,100
\nwell.
\nBut spiritual transformation. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:54,100 –> 00:10:56,600
\nJust remember is not about what
\nwe do. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:57,800 –> 00:11:02,800
\nIt’s about why we do it.
\nThat’s the inner change. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:11:05,300 –> 00:11:11,100
\nOkay, but I want to ask you this
\nquestion, who’s in control of <\/p>\n
168
\n00:11:11,108 –> 00:11:15,200
\nthat training, who is in control
\nof your training, and your <\/p>\n
169
\n00:11:15,200 –> 00:11:25,300
\ntransformation in that training?
\nAs I look at Philippians, And <\/p>\n
170
\n00:11:25,300 –> 00:11:29,700
\nbook of Philippians and we’ll be
\nlooking at chapter 2. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:11:37,800 –> 00:11:46,900
\nAnd let’s look at verse 12.
\nWherefore my beloved. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:47,900 –> 00:11:53,100
\nAs you have always obeyed, not
\nas in my presence only but now <\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:53,100 –> 00:11:57,700
\nmuch more in my absence work out
\nyour salvation with fear and <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:57,700 –> 00:12:00,000
\ntrembling are, is down to us,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n
175
\n00:12:00,000 –> 00:12:02,600
\nSo it says, work out your
\nsalvation with fear and <\/p>\n
176
\n00:12:02,600 –> 00:12:09,800
\ntrembling No.
\nIt’s not visit State work. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:12:09,800 –> 00:12:13,000
\nFor your salvation doesn’t say
\nwork at your salvation. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:12:13,000 –> 00:12:16,800
\nIt says, work out your salvation
\nand then actually literally <\/p>\n
179
\n00:12:16,800 –> 00:12:22,700
\nmeans finish complete your
\nsalvation how humbly with fear <\/p>\n
180
\n00:12:22,700 –> 00:12:26,900
\nand trembling you see it’s not
\nyou who necessarily does it <\/p>\n
181
\n00:12:27,400 –> 00:12:32,500
\nbecause so often we quote verse
\n12 and we ignore verse 13 for <\/p>\n
182
\n00:12:32,500 –> 00:12:34,000
\nit.
\nIs God. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:12:34,900 –> 00:12:40,600
\nWhich worketh in you both to
\nWill and to do of his good <\/p>\n
184
\n00:12:40,600 –> 00:12:44,900
\npleasure.
\nHe is the Potter. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:12:45,600 –> 00:12:49,700
\nWe are the clay.
\nWe just make ourselves available<\/p>\n
186
\n00:12:50,100 –> 00:12:55,200
\nfor him to work in us.
\nIt is not us who worked at our <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:55,200 –> 00:13:01,300
\nSalvation, we just complete it.
\nIt is, God working in us to <\/p>\n
188
\n00:13:01,300 –> 00:13:06,100
\ntransform us.
\nWhat does it say in Romans, let <\/p>\n
189
\n00:13:06,100 –> 00:13:10,700
\nme just read this to you in
\nRomans verse 10 8:10. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:13:10,700 –> 00:13:12,100
\nI read it to you.
\nIt says this. <\/p>\n
191
\n00:13:12,800 –> 00:13:16,600
\nAnd if Christ be in you, the
\nbody is dead because of sin. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:13:16,600 –> 00:13:21,600
\nBut the spirit is life, because
\nof righteousness for, as many as<\/p>\n
193
\n00:13:21,600 –> 00:13:25,500
\nare led by the spirit of God,
\nthey are the sons of God, the <\/p>\n
194
\n00:13:25,500 –> 00:13:29,700
\nspirit of God works in us to
\nenable the fruit of the spirit <\/p>\n
195
\n00:13:29,900 –> 00:13:32,500
\nto be shown.
\nAnd it is our responsibility to <\/p>\n
196
\n00:13:32,500 –> 00:13:40,200
\nallow the It to work in US.
\nYou see? <\/p>\n
197
\n00:13:41,300 –> 00:13:44,300
\nTransformation is the work of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:13:45,900 –> 00:13:54,300
\nAnd we allow God, invite God ask
\nGod to come and work in us to <\/p>\n
199
\n00:13:54,300 –> 00:13:59,600
\nwork out our Salvation humbly
\nwith fear and trembling. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:14:01,200 –> 00:14:05,300
\nSo how does that work?
\nI liken it to the contrast <\/p>\n
201
\n00:14:05,300 –> 00:14:08,200
\nbetween a motor boat and a
\nSailing Boat. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:14:10,000 –> 00:14:14,700
\nWith a motorboat, what you do is
\nwhen you turn the rudder, the <\/p>\n
203
\n00:14:14,700 –> 00:14:17,800
\nturn, the wheels and it when you
\nturn the wheel, the boat goes in<\/p>\n
204
\n00:14:17,800 –> 00:14:20,900
\nthat direction.
\nWhen you put your foot on the <\/p>\n
205
\n00:14:20,900 –> 00:14:23,500
\naccelerator or whatever you do
\nthe boat, I don’t hear do about <\/p>\n
206
\n00:14:23,600 –> 00:14:25,500
\nyou move.
\nThe accelerator, the boat goes <\/p>\n
207
\n00:14:25,500 –> 00:14:29,000
\nfaster.
\nIt’s all very rich, completely <\/p>\n
208
\n00:14:29,000 –> 00:14:34,100
\nresponsive.
\nYou’re completely in control. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:14:36,100 –> 00:14:39,200
\nThat’s not how it is.
\nI would suggest with our <\/p>\n
210
\n00:14:39,200 –> 00:14:42,500
\ntransformation, I would like an
\nhour transformation to be like a<\/p>\n
211
\n00:14:42,508 –> 00:14:46,300
\nSailing Boat.
\nIt is our responsibility to <\/p>\n
212
\n00:14:46,300 –> 00:14:48,800
\nHoist.
\nThe sails is our responsibility <\/p>\n
213
\n00:14:48,900 –> 00:14:50,900
\nto steer.
\nThe rudder is our responsibility<\/p>\n
214
\n00:14:50,900 –> 00:14:56,300
\nto trim the sails, but we are
\ntotally dependent on the Wind. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:14:59,300 –> 00:15:02,800
\nWe can discipline ourselves to
\nspiritual practices but we <\/p>\n
216
\n00:15:02,800 –> 00:15:10,000
\ncannot engineer them.
\nNow, that’s quite a challenge. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:15:10,000 –> 00:15:13,000
\nIsn’t it?
\nFor when you think about it, the<\/p>\n
218
\n00:15:13,000 –> 00:15:15,300
\nexperienced sailor.
\nWhat does he do? <\/p>\n
219
\n00:15:15,400 –> 00:15:19,800
\nThe experienced sailor?
\nHe can look at the water and he <\/p>\n
220
\n00:15:19,800 –> 00:15:24,000
\nknows, and he can look at the
\nsky and he’s been out there a <\/p>\n
221
\n00:15:24,008 –> 00:15:29,900
\nlot, and he’s done it a lot, and
\nhe can read for signs very well.<\/p>\n
222
\n00:15:32,100 –> 00:15:35,200
\nAnd he knows exactly which
\ndirection the wind is going to <\/p>\n
223
\n00:15:35,200 –> 00:15:38,300
\ncome from.
\nSo he can actually get the sails<\/p>\n
224
\n00:15:38,300 –> 00:15:41,400
\ntrimmed properly and the rudder
\nand the boat in the right <\/p>\n
225
\n00:15:41,400 –> 00:15:45,600
\ndirection.
\nThat’s our responsibility. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:15:49,300 –> 00:15:56,000
\nAnd then it is God who works in
\nyou to Will and to act according<\/p>\n
227
\n00:15:56,000 –> 00:16:03,200
\nto his good pleasure.
\nAnd what we should be doing is, <\/p>\n
228
\n00:16:03,200 –> 00:16:06,800
\nwe should be looking for those
\nsigns in our lives, for God, <\/p>\n
229
\n00:16:06,800 –> 00:16:12,300
\nacting and working in our lives.
\nI would suggest Moses when he <\/p>\n
230
\n00:16:12,300 –> 00:16:16,700
\nwas walking along.
\nIt says, beautiful words is as <\/p>\n
231
\n00:16:16,700 –> 00:16:20,900
\nhe’s walking along in the
\nwilderness in the desert place <\/p>\n
232
\n00:16:21,900 –> 00:16:24,600
\nlooking after his
\nfather-in-law’s sheep. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:16:26,200 –> 00:16:30,600
\nHe turned a side, it says
\nbeautiful phrase, he turned <\/p>\n
234
\n00:16:30,600 –> 00:16:32,500
\naside.
\nHow often do you think that he <\/p>\n
235
\n00:16:32,500 –> 00:16:36,100
\nsaw a bush smoldering?
\nHow is the definitely quite a <\/p>\n
236
\n00:16:36,108 –> 00:16:40,700
\nquite a few times?
\nBut on this occasion, he turned <\/p>\n
237
\n00:16:40,700 –> 00:16:43,500
\naside.
\nBecause he saw something <\/p>\n
238
\n00:16:43,500 –> 00:16:48,800
\nremarkable now that happens.
\nI would suggest in our lives <\/p>\n
239
\n00:16:49,100 –> 00:16:53,300
\nregularly and we have a
\nresponsibility to turn aside. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:16:54,600 –> 00:17:02,500
\nFor God is at work in our lives.
\nAnd to enable us to be <\/p>\n
241
\n00:17:02,500 –> 00:17:07,400
\ntransformed.
\nWe must be responsive to see God<\/p>\n
242
\n00:17:07,400 –> 00:17:13,000
\nworking in our lives.
\nThe disciples. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:17:14,700 –> 00:17:20,300
\nThat we are and we are actors
\nout of disciplines should create<\/p>\n
244
\n00:17:20,300 –> 00:17:24,700
\nopportunities in our attitudes,
\nand our motives, for God to <\/p>\n
245
\n00:17:24,700 –> 00:17:31,500
\nwork, and here are just two
\ntools that I would like to <\/p>\n
246
\n00:17:31,500 –> 00:17:35,100
\nconsider.
\nWe look at just two tools that <\/p>\n
247
\n00:17:35,100 –> 00:17:38,600
\nthis morning that we can use in
\nour training routine and that <\/p>\n
248
\n00:17:38,600 –> 00:17:43,600
\nsort of helps us trim the sails,
\nand steer the rudder to enable <\/p>\n
249
\n00:17:43,600 –> 00:17:44,900
\nthe wind.
\nTo blow. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:17:48,200 –> 00:17:54,700
\nThe first is this one, when I
\nget home every evening, I get <\/p>\n
251
\n00:17:54,700 –> 00:17:56,300
\nhome.
\nSay hi to Sally. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:17:56,400 –> 00:17:58,000
\nHere’s kids, and think, and I
\ngo. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:17:58,000 –> 00:18:00,800
\nThe first thing I do, is I go to
\nmy post. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:18:02,000 –> 00:18:06,600
\nI click through the post and the
\nbill bill, we have mail open up <\/p>\n
255
\n00:18:06,600 –> 00:18:09,000
\nand there’s and the ones that
\nare hand written to me. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:18:09,100 –> 00:18:13,000
\nThey don’t want to stop at and I
\nopen it up and I read and faces.<\/p>\n
257
\n00:18:13,000 –> 00:18:15,300
\nAre you going to talk to me?
\nI’m reading this. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:18:15,700 –> 00:18:19,300
\nCan’t see me all day, isn’t it?
\nIt is so fascinating, reading <\/p>\n
259
\n00:18:19,300 –> 00:18:21,900
\nletters, particularly the
\nhandwritten ones. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:18:22,000 –> 00:18:24,100
\nWhy?
\nBecause their personal to you, <\/p>\n
261
\n00:18:27,100 –> 00:18:30,100
\nAnd so is this one.
\nIt’s a handwritten letter <\/p>\n
262
\n00:18:30,700 –> 00:18:39,000
\npersonally to you to me.
\nGod is communicating directly to<\/p>\n
263
\n00:18:39,000 –> 00:18:42,500
\nme.
\nIt’s a personal letter to me <\/p>\n
264
\n00:18:43,400 –> 00:18:50,500
\nabout him.
\nAnd it’s a wonderful wonderful <\/p>\n
265
\n00:18:50,500 –> 00:18:54,500
\nbook.
\nAnd the more that I discover <\/p>\n
266
\n00:18:54,900 –> 00:18:59,400
\naspects of God in this book from
\nmore that I love him, we talked <\/p>\n
267
\n00:18:59,400 –> 00:19:03,900
\nabout that yesterday that agape,
\nlove is head and heart, it’s not<\/p>\n
268
\n00:19:03,900 –> 00:19:07,100
\njust head and it’s not just hard
\nfor the more. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:19:07,100 –> 00:19:10,100
\nI understand him, the more I
\nlove him, the more I realize <\/p>\n
270
\n00:19:10,200 –> 00:19:13,000
\nthat I want to have a
\nrelationship with him, and <\/p>\n
271
\n00:19:13,000 –> 00:19:16,400
\nthat’s what Christianity is.
\nOf course, it’s a relationship. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:19:19,400 –> 00:19:24,200
\nI I was running a workshop at a
\nChristian Conference that we <\/p>\n
273
\n00:19:24,200 –> 00:19:26,000
\nhave in the UK called holder
\nsystem. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:19:26,100 –> 00:19:27,400
\nSome of you may have heard of
\nit. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:19:27,500 –> 00:19:31,900
\nIt’s advertising Crystal Kim,
\nand I was running a workshop <\/p>\n
276
\n00:19:31,900 –> 00:19:37,700
\nthere and I was, it was on the
\nletters of the seven letters to <\/p>\n
277
\n00:19:37,700 –> 00:19:41,000
\nseven churches.
\nAnd I wanted at, once you’ve <\/p>\n
278
\n00:19:41,000 –> 00:19:43,400
\ngone through the letters, I just
\nwanted people to think about <\/p>\n
279
\n00:19:43,900 –> 00:19:47,500
\nwhat letter would use us, right
\nto the christadelphians, the <\/p>\n
280
\n00:19:47,500 –> 00:19:51,100
\nletter to the christadelphians.
\nIn 2006. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:19:54,300 –> 00:19:56,500
\nAnd I wanted us to personalize a
\ngroup of K. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:19:56,500 –> 00:19:59,900
\nFirst thing you do is write down
\nthe two things that we will be <\/p>\n
283
\n00:19:59,900 –> 00:20:02,800
\ncondoned for.
\nWe will be well done, you are <\/p>\n
284
\n00:20:02,800 –> 00:20:08,100
\nreally good.
\nI ran this Workshop 9 times in <\/p>\n
285
\n00:20:08,100 –> 00:20:15,700
\ntotal. and on every single
\noccasion, The people in the the <\/p>\n
286
\n00:20:15,900 –> 00:20:20,200
\n9 workshops said that the thing
\nthat Jesus would write to the <\/p>\n
287
\n00:20:20,208 –> 00:20:24,900
\nchristadelphians about saying,
\nwell, done is that we are a <\/p>\n
288
\n00:20:24,900 –> 00:20:30,400
\npeople of the book and we are
\nit’s a wonderful gift that we <\/p>\n
289
\n00:20:30,400 –> 00:20:32,900
\nhave.
\nAnd this Fellowship that we have<\/p>\n
290
\n00:20:33,000 –> 00:20:35,800
\nis marvelous in that we focus on
\nthe book. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:20:37,600 –> 00:20:42,000
\nAnd we would be congratulated,
\nanybody come as for that. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:20:43,200 –> 00:20:44,900
\nRecognizing the beauty of the
\nscriptures. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:20:46,600 –> 00:20:50,400
\nThe question here is, why do we
\ndo Bible study? <\/p>\n
294
\n00:20:51,400 –> 00:20:56,700
\nWhy do we use this tool?
\nThis discipline of looking at <\/p>\n
295
\n00:20:56,700 –> 00:21:00,600
\nthe scriptures?
\nIs it because we want to get <\/p>\n
296
\n00:21:00,600 –> 00:21:03,900
\n100% in the Heavenly entrance
\nexam. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:21:09,500 –> 00:21:15,000
\nYou see, I don’t think it is.
\nBecause looking at this <\/p>\n
298
\n00:21:15,000 –> 00:21:18,700
\nscriptures is about the renewing
\nof Minds. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:21:19,000 –> 00:21:25,000
\nNot the acquisition information.
\nIt’s about changing the mind. <\/p>\n
300
\n00:21:25,000 –> 00:21:32,000
\nNot changing the brain.
\nAnd I am the same. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:21:32,000 –> 00:21:34,300
\nI do the same thing.
\nI have a lot of treatments for <\/p>\n
302
\n00:21:34,300 –> 00:21:37,300
\nthose people who know their
\nbible really well, and that’s <\/p>\n
303
\n00:21:37,300 –> 00:21:41,700
\nreally good, but the key for you
\nand me, is, are we putting it <\/p>\n
304
\n00:21:41,700 –> 00:21:46,600
\ninto practice?
\nAnd that’s what, that’s what <\/p>\n
305
\n00:21:47,100 –> 00:21:51,500
\nJesus looked at.
\nI tell you what the Pharisees <\/p>\n
306
\n00:21:51,500 –> 00:21:54,400
\nactually knew their law really
\nwell. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:21:56,700 –> 00:22:00,300
\nBut the amazing thing is, is
\nthat Jesus never really <\/p>\n
308
\n00:22:00,300 –> 00:22:04,100
\ncriticize, the Pharisees for
\nhaving wrong Doctrine. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:22:05,300 –> 00:22:09,600
\nAnd they had many of them.
\nBut he certainly criticize them <\/p>\n
310
\n00:22:10,100 –> 00:22:18,300
\nfor their wrong way of life.
\nWould you tell me to Timothy <\/p>\n
311
\n00:22:18,300 –> 00:22:24,100
\nchapter 3?
\nIt’s a really well-known <\/p>\n
312
\n00:22:24,100 –> 00:22:28,700
\nPassage.
\nAnd it’s a challenge actually <\/p>\n
313
\n00:22:28,700 –> 00:22:34,400
\nthis one 2, Timothy chapter 3
\nand verse 16, you know it well. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:22:36,900 –> 00:22:39,100
\nFor all scripture is
\ngod-breathed. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:22:39,200 –> 00:22:43,400
\nSo, let me do all scripture is
\ngiven by inspiration of God, and<\/p>\n
316
\n00:22:43,400 –> 00:22:48,200
\nis profitable for Doctrine for
\nreproof for correction for <\/p>\n
317
\n00:22:48,200 –> 00:22:53,300
\ninstruction in righteousness.
\nIt goes on that. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:22:53,300 –> 00:23:00,500
\nThe man of God may be perfect
\nthoroughly furnished unto all <\/p>\n
319
\n00:23:00,700 –> 00:23:05,400
\ngood works.
\nThis is a that he can be really <\/p>\n
320
\n00:23:05,400 –> 00:23:10,600
\nwell-informed.
\nHe says we read our scriptures. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:23:10,700 –> 00:23:13,200
\nWhy?
\nSo that we can be thoroughly <\/p>\n
322
\n00:23:13,200 –> 00:23:17,000
\nequipped for every good work.
\nIt is no good. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:23:17,000 –> 00:23:19,400
\nJust to accumulate the knowledge
\nif we’re not going to put it <\/p>\n
324
\n00:23:19,400 –> 00:23:22,800
\ninto practice because that way
\nwe haven’t been transformed. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:23:23,300 –> 00:23:24,800
\nWe’ve just accumulated
\nknowledge. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:23:27,400 –> 00:23:31,800
\nSo when we read our scriptures
\nwe should do so such that <\/p>\n
327
\n00:23:32,000 –> 00:23:36,500
\ngoodness, naturally comes out
\nthat way. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:23:37,000 –> 00:23:39,300
\nWe are displacing the natural
\nman. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:23:40,900 –> 00:23:46,600
\nGK Chesterton was a famous
\nChristian writer, and he was <\/p>\n
330
\n00:23:46,600 –> 00:23:52,100
\ninterviewed once and they asked
\nand they said, right? <\/p>\n
331
\n00:23:52,100 –> 00:23:56,600
\nYou, you are on a desert island.
\nAnd you are on this desert <\/p>\n
332
\n00:23:56,600 –> 00:24:02,300
\nisland and you mr.
\nJefferson who is a Christian? <\/p>\n
333
\n00:24:03,000 –> 00:24:07,200
\nYou can have any book.
\nYou like any book at all? <\/p>\n
334
\n00:24:08,300 –> 00:24:11,300
\nYeah, No Holds Barred here.
\nAny book you like you’re on this<\/p>\n
335
\n00:24:11,300 –> 00:24:14,800
\ndesert island.
\nIt’s a bit our now he’s going to<\/p>\n
336
\n00:24:14,800 –> 00:24:18,500
\nchoose and the obvious isn’t it?
\nAnd GK testing thought for a <\/p>\n
337
\n00:24:18,500 –> 00:24:22,600
\nwhile he turned around and said,
\nyou know, the book that I would <\/p>\n
338
\n00:24:22,600 –> 00:24:27,300
\nlike if I was on this desert
\nisland is Thomas his guide to <\/p>\n
339
\n00:24:27,300 –> 00:24:36,500
\npractical Shipbuilding.
\nYou see, he was chaplain desert <\/p>\n
340
\n00:24:36,500 –> 00:24:40,000
\nisland.
\nHe didn’t want to be informed. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:24:40,100 –> 00:24:42,000
\nHe didn’t want to be
\nentertained. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:24:42,200 –> 00:24:47,700
\nHe wanted to be saved.
\nAs I say, you hear me. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:24:50,100 –> 00:24:55,900
\nWe are on an island.
\nAnd this book here is equipping <\/p>\n
344
\n00:24:55,900 –> 00:25:02,500
\nus for every good work.
\nNot accumulating knowledge. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:25:02,900 –> 00:25:06,300
\nIt is a practical.
\nA dynamic book. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:25:10,100 –> 00:25:13,300
\nAnd that’s the challenge for you
\nand me is to use it. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:25:15,100 –> 00:25:18,700
\nSo when we take on all this
\ninformation, how is it changing <\/p>\n
348
\n00:25:18,700 –> 00:25:21,700
\nmy life?
\nHow is it changing my motives? <\/p>\n
349
\n00:25:22,400 –> 00:25:31,600
\nNot, how much am I learning?
\nSo God is training and talking <\/p>\n
350
\n00:25:31,600 –> 00:25:36,900
\nto me through the Bible.
\nIn order to change me. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:25:40,000 –> 00:25:43,800
\nThat’s the first tool.
\nAnd the second tool is this one.<\/p>\n
352
\n00:25:45,300 –> 00:25:49,000
\nGod is training and talking to
\nme through prayer. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:25:53,300 –> 00:25:57,800
\nI, we may may be known as a
\npeople of the book. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:25:58,800 –> 00:26:02,300
\nI suggest that I’m not
\nnecessarily known as a person of<\/p>\n
355
\n00:26:02,300 –> 00:26:07,600
\nPrayer.
\nI pray a lot when things aren’t <\/p>\n
356
\n00:26:07,600 –> 00:26:14,600
\ngoing very well.
\nMy prayer times, go like that in<\/p>\n
357
\n00:26:14,600 –> 00:26:18,800
\ntimes of crisis.
\nBut the rest of the time I do <\/p>\n
358
\n00:26:18,800 –> 00:26:22,800
\nreally rely on my own strength
\nand my own cleverness. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:26:26,600 –> 00:26:30,900
\nAnd that’s a shame.
\nI don’t think personally that I <\/p>\n
360
\n00:26:30,900 –> 00:26:34,100
\nreally discovered the real power
\nof prayer. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:26:34,800 –> 00:26:38,000
\nWhat does James say?
\nThe effectual fervent prayer of <\/p>\n
362
\n00:26:38,000 –> 00:26:43,500
\na righteous man, availeth much
\nAnd I’ll be righteous. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:26:43,600 –> 00:26:48,500
\nThis we are.
\nAnd what is righteous righteous?<\/p>\n
364
\n00:26:48,500 –> 00:26:52,500
\nIf you remember, I said in my
\nfirst talk is being put right <\/p>\n
365
\n00:26:52,500 –> 00:26:56,100
\nwith God.
\nWe’ve come from wrath down there<\/p>\n
366
\n00:26:57,000 –> 00:27:01,700
\nto Grace up here.
\nSo we have been put right with <\/p>\n
367
\n00:27:01,700 –> 00:27:05,000
\nGod.
\nWe have been Justified with God,<\/p>\n
368
\n00:27:06,600 –> 00:27:11,300
\nthe effectual fervent prayer of
\na righteous man, availeth much. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:27:13,400 –> 00:27:17,800
\nAnd I don’t do that.
\nHow powerful is prayer. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:27:18,700 –> 00:27:21,700
\nDon’t look it now, but in
\nRevelation, chapter 8 is a <\/p>\n
371
\n00:27:21,708 –> 00:27:24,900
\nmaster of the situation.
\nDo you know what happens? <\/p>\n
372
\n00:27:25,300 –> 00:27:27,300
\nAnd I miss it.
\nI missed it until quite <\/p>\n
373
\n00:27:27,300 –> 00:27:28,900
\nrecently.
\nI was reading it and I was quite<\/p>\n
374
\n00:27:28,900 –> 00:27:31,600
\nsurprised.
\nThere was silence in heaven. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:27:31,600 –> 00:27:37,800
\nIt says for half an hour in
\nRevelation, 8, and the angel <\/p>\n
376
\n00:27:37,800 –> 00:27:46,500
\ncomes forward and offers in the
\ngolden censer incense of the <\/p>\n
377
\n00:27:46,500 –> 00:27:51,900
\nprayers of the Saints.
\nAnd then immediately after that,<\/p>\n
378
\n00:27:51,900 –> 00:27:56,500
\nin Revelation, 8 there follows
\ntremendous judgment on the <\/p>\n
379
\n00:27:56,500 –> 00:28:03,600
\nEarth. as if it were a response
\nto all the Press, what’s the <\/p>\n
380
\n00:28:03,608 –> 00:28:07,300
\nlesson there?
\nThe lesson there is that <\/p>\n
381
\n00:28:07,300 –> 00:28:10,900
\nfirstly?
\nHeaven comes to a standstill <\/p>\n
382
\n00:28:11,600 –> 00:28:15,400
\nwhen we pray.
\nThat’s quite nice thing to think<\/p>\n
383
\n00:28:15,400 –> 00:28:18,600
\nabout, isn’t it?
\nAnd secondly, things happen when<\/p>\n
384
\n00:28:18,600 –> 00:28:27,700
\nwe pray. my children, I love my
\nchildren, desperately And when <\/p>\n
385
\n00:28:27,700 –> 00:28:32,000
\nthey ask me things and four
\nthings, I want to give it, give <\/p>\n
386
\n00:28:32,000 –> 00:28:34,800
\nit to them without spoiling
\nthem. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:28:35,000 –> 00:28:38,100
\nI want to give them things and
\nthere are many parents in here <\/p>\n
388
\n00:28:38,100 –> 00:28:42,000
\nin this room here today and I
\nknow you’re the same That you <\/p>\n
389
\n00:28:42,000 –> 00:28:44,600
\nwant to give things to your
\nchildren when they ask you for <\/p>\n
390
\n00:28:44,600 –> 00:28:50,500
\nthings because you love them.
\nI think I know God has given us <\/p>\n
391
\n00:28:50,500 –> 00:28:55,100
\na families in order to
\nunderstand more, the <\/p>\n
392
\n00:28:55,100 –> 00:28:57,200
\nrelationship that we have with
\nhim. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:28:58,300 –> 00:29:03,000
\nI understand much more about God
\nbeing a father. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:29:06,400 –> 00:29:08,600
\nAnd that’s the beauty of
\nParenthood that you do, <\/p>\n
395
\n00:29:08,600 –> 00:29:12,100
\nunderstand.
\nGod better, I have personally <\/p>\n
396
\n00:29:12,100 –> 00:29:18,200
\nfound by virtue of that.
\nAnd therefore God wants to give <\/p>\n
397
\n00:29:18,200 –> 00:29:21,800
\nus things when we ask for asking
\nfor him. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:29:23,000 –> 00:29:24,300
\nSo, what are some points on
\nprayer? <\/p>\n
399
\n00:29:24,300 –> 00:29:27,800
\nThe first point is, this parrot,
\nprayer is powerful brother. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:29:27,800 –> 00:29:31,900
\nBob, he came to Bible school,
\ndidn’t you? <\/p>\n
401
\n00:29:31,900 –> 00:29:35,700
\nBob must be about three years
\nago in in the UK. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:29:35,700 –> 00:29:37,200
\nAs I said, we don’t have many
\nBible schools in this. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:29:37,200 –> 00:29:39,800
\nI think was, was one of the
\nbout, the three that we have and<\/p>\n
404
\n00:29:39,800 –> 00:29:42,300
\nBob came to speak there and Bob,
\nyou must have talked about <\/p>\n
405
\n00:29:42,300 –> 00:29:45,800
\nprayer that Bible.
\nI know you did I wasn’t there. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:29:45,800 –> 00:29:48,800
\nBut Sally my wife went.
\nThe reason I know this is <\/p>\n
407
\n00:29:48,800 –> 00:29:51,300
\nbecause both handed out a little
\nslip. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:29:51,400 –> 00:29:52,700
\nIt could be done this with you,
\nI’m sure. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:29:52,800 –> 00:29:54,400
\nSure.
\nYeah, he has as me. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:29:54,700 –> 00:29:56,800
\nYeah.
\nHe just he just begun to take <\/p>\n
411
\n00:29:56,800 –> 00:30:03,200
\nthe same stuff but until you and
\nI just need carpet and he handed<\/p>\n
412
\n00:30:03,200 –> 00:30:06,100
\nout a prayer list with 12
\nnumbers on it. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:30:06,100 –> 00:30:09,000
\nAnd what you had to do at that
\nbrother School is right down <\/p>\n
414
\n00:30:09,200 –> 00:30:10,700
\n1250.
\nGoing to pray about. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:30:10,900 –> 00:30:12,700
\nI didn’t know this was going on
\nbecause I wasn’t at the Bible <\/p>\n
416
\n00:30:12,700 –> 00:30:16,700
\nSchool a year later, I couldn’t
\nfind my Barbara’s. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:30:16,700 –> 00:30:19,300
\nI picked up Sally’s.
\nI opened it up and this piece of<\/p>\n
418
\n00:30:19,300 –> 00:30:23,800
\npaper fell out.
\nYear later and I picked it up. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:30:24,800 –> 00:30:26,000
\nAnd there were 12 names on
\nthere. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:30:27,200 –> 00:30:32,800
\nAnd I read them.
\nAnd I was staggered, I was <\/p>\n
421
\n00:30:32,800 –> 00:30:36,100
\nstaggered because something had
\nhappened to every single one of <\/p>\n
422
\n00:30:36,100 –> 00:30:38,700
\nthose people, which is quite
\ndramatic. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:30:41,200 –> 00:30:45,400
\nThat is the power of Prayer. and
\nI don’t think that I have <\/p>\n
424
\n00:30:45,400 –> 00:30:52,200
\nproperly understood that all
\nrealize that So that’s my first <\/p>\n
425
\n00:30:52,200 –> 00:30:57,900
\npoint on prayer.
\nMy second point is, is this one?<\/p>\n
426
\n00:30:59,900 –> 00:31:02,100
\nThe very first prayer that is
\nopened in the Bible. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:31:02,200 –> 00:31:09,500
\nI think was probably offered by
\nAbraham, Abraham was there, and <\/p>\n
428
\n00:31:10,300 –> 00:31:17,900
\nhe was talking to God.
\nAnd he said, oh God, you can’t <\/p>\n
429
\n00:31:17,900 –> 00:31:21,400
\ndo that.
\nHow about God, how about if <\/p>\n
430
\n00:31:21,400 –> 00:31:26,300
\nthere were 50 people?
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:31:26,300 –> 00:31:29,000
\nSo God 50.
\nYeah, it I’ll accept 50. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:31:31,300 –> 00:31:34,900
\nSo God, how about if 40 people
\nin Sodom and Gomorrah? <\/p>\n
433
\n00:31:35,000 –> 00:31:37,500
\nIf 40 people work?
\nWe’re okay? <\/p>\n
434
\n00:31:37,500 –> 00:31:40,200
\nWould you say 40 people?
\nYes, it got up. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:31:40,300 –> 00:31:43,400
\nI’d say 40.
\nOkay. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:31:43,400 –> 00:31:46,300
\nWell, how about, how about 30
\ngot? <\/p>\n
437
\n00:31:46,300 –> 00:31:49,400
\nHow about if there were 30
\npeople got would you say 30? <\/p>\n
438
\n00:31:50,300 –> 00:31:54,900
\nYes, it’s gonna take 30.
\nWhat about 20? <\/p>\n
439
\n00:31:54,900 –> 00:31:57,700
\nGood would you say 20 people in
\nSodom and Gomorrah so it’s 20 <\/p>\n
440
\n00:31:57,700 –> 00:32:01,200
\ngood people.
\nYes ago I’ll say 20. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:32:03,800 –> 00:32:06,300
\nGot it would just 10 people in
\nSodom and Gomorrah. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:32:06,400 –> 00:32:12,400
\nWould you say 10 people?
\nYes, ago, I’d say 10 people. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:32:12,700 –> 00:32:18,300
\nIf there were 10 people could
\npeople have I’d say the whole <\/p>\n
444
\n00:32:18,300 –> 00:32:23,000
\ncity.
\nHe negotiated with God. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:32:25,200 –> 00:32:29,700
\nBut he believed that his power
\nis prayer, was powerful and made<\/p>\n
446
\n00:32:29,700 –> 00:32:33,900
\na difference.
\nAnd he knew God. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:32:35,600 –> 00:32:39,200
\nHe wasn’t irreverent.
\nHe was humbly. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:32:40,500 –> 00:32:42,700
\nTalking to God and he knew his
\nposition. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:32:43,600 –> 00:32:47,400
\nBut I put it to you, in his
\npersonal prayer in his personal <\/p>\n
450
\n00:32:47,400 –> 00:32:51,300
\nprayer.
\nHe was in a way in persent, but <\/p>\n
451
\n00:32:51,300 –> 00:32:54,300
\nhe was persistent and he was
\nvery natural. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:32:56,500 –> 00:32:58,900
\nAnd I don’t want you to
\nmisunderstand some of those <\/p>\n
453
\n00:32:58,900 –> 00:33:01,500
\nthings, but that’s what God
\nwants. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:33:02,100 –> 00:33:04,800
\nI think that God wants us to be
\npersistent. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:33:05,300 –> 00:33:07,500
\nHe absolutely wants us to be
\nnatural. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:33:08,800 –> 00:33:10,800
\nAnd this is our personal prayers
\npersonally. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:33:10,800 –> 00:33:14,200
\nI find it very hard actually to
\ngive a public prayer. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:33:14,200 –> 00:33:16,900
\nThink that’s a really difficult
\nthing to do in my personal <\/p>\n
459
\n00:33:16,900 –> 00:33:19,400
\nprayers.
\nHe wants me to talk to him. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:33:20,300 –> 00:33:24,100
\nIn a very close relationship.
\nJust like Abraham did. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:33:26,500 –> 00:33:29,300
\nSo that’s my second point on
\nprayer that I’ve learned from <\/p>\n
462
\n00:33:29,300 –> 00:33:33,300
\nthe scriptures.
\nAnd my third Point, what do we <\/p>\n
463
\n00:33:33,300 –> 00:33:37,400
\npray for?
\nWhat should we pray for my <\/p>\n
464
\n00:33:37,400 –> 00:33:40,500
\nprayers?
\nAre a whole long list of asking.<\/p>\n
465
\n00:33:42,900 –> 00:33:44,700
\nAs a little bit of a thank you
\nin there. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:33:45,900 –> 00:33:48,100
\nAnd sometimes I must admit, I
\ndon’t wanna get into the <\/p>\n
467
\n00:33:48,100 –> 00:33:50,100
\ndiscipline of saying.
\nI’m just going to give a <\/p>\n
468
\n00:33:50,100 –> 00:33:52,400
\nthank-you prayer.
\nI give the thank you prayer. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:33:53,700 –> 00:33:55,300
\nA little bit later either.
\nThen I’ll have to be asking <\/p>\n
470
\n00:33:55,300 –> 00:33:59,600
\nprayer after that.
\nSo it is something that we get <\/p>\n
471
\n00:33:59,600 –> 00:34:01,200
\ninto.
\nIt’s a discipline in the way <\/p>\n
472
\n00:34:01,200 –> 00:34:05,200
\nthat we pray, but there’s always
\na gap as well. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:34:05,300 –> 00:34:07,500
\nWhatever prayer that I pray.
\nPersonally. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:34:08,400 –> 00:34:11,600
\nOn my own, there’s always a gap
\nbetween what I’m supposed to <\/p>\n
475
\n00:34:11,600 –> 00:34:14,000
\npray for and what I’m actually
\nthinking. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:34:15,600 –> 00:34:18,000
\nYou might have the same
\nsometimes my mind does wander <\/p>\n
477
\n00:34:18,000 –> 00:34:20,000
\noff.
\nI’m not very good. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:34:22,199 –> 00:34:25,000
\nAnd I thought about this and I
\nprayed about it and I sort of <\/p>\n
479
\n00:34:25,000 –> 00:34:27,900
\ncome to this conclusion, that
\nactually, perhaps I should be <\/p>\n
480
\n00:34:27,900 –> 00:34:34,400
\npraying for what is on my mind.
\nNehemiah did when he stood <\/p>\n
481
\n00:34:34,400 –> 00:34:37,699
\nbefore the king.
\nHe just offered that quick <\/p>\n
482
\n00:34:37,699 –> 00:34:41,500
\nprayer.
\nBecause that was what was on his<\/p>\n
483
\n00:34:41,500 –> 00:34:44,400
\nmind.
\nMoses, did he wants a proper job<\/p>\n
484
\n00:34:44,400 –> 00:34:47,900
\ndescription?
\nEven in lie, jadid, evening lie,<\/p>\n
485
\n00:34:47,900 –> 00:34:49,900
\ndidn’t like people calling him
\nnames. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:34:50,500 –> 00:34:52,000
\nI came.
\nHe was going bald. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:34:52,000 –> 00:34:54,500
\nI have some some understanding
\nof that. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:34:55,900 –> 00:35:00,900
\nSo pray, what is on your mind?
\nAnd that’s my third point lay <\/p>\n
489
\n00:35:00,900 –> 00:35:03,000
\nbefore him.
\nWhat is in us? <\/p>\n
490
\n00:35:03,200 –> 00:35:07,100
\nNot what ought to be in us.
\nIt’s a personal thing. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:35:07,500 –> 00:35:10,200
\nIt’s a relationship.
\nA personal relationship with <\/p>\n
492
\n00:35:10,200 –> 00:35:16,800
\nGod.
\nAnd my fourth, and final point <\/p>\n
493
\n00:35:16,800 –> 00:35:23,000
\non prayer, is this one prayer is
\nall about speaking, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
494
\n00:35:23,500 –> 00:35:30,200
\nNo, prayer is all about
\nlistening. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:35:32,900 –> 00:35:35,000
\nIt absolutely throughout the
\nScriptures. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:35:36,100 –> 00:35:41,000
\nIt seems true to me.
\nBut God will always always <\/p>\n
497
\n00:35:41,200 –> 00:35:44,600
\nanswer prayer.
\nHe will always say either. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:35:44,800 –> 00:35:47,300
\nYes.
\nNo, or wait. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:35:48,300 –> 00:35:50,700
\nThose are always what God will
\nsay. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:35:52,000 –> 00:35:58,700
\nHe will never ever ignore us.
\nBut how does God answer those <\/p>\n
501
\n00:35:58,700 –> 00:36:04,500
\nprayers?
\nWell, he asked the prayers like <\/p>\n
502
\n00:36:04,500 –> 00:36:08,900
\nthis.
\nHe answers our prayers for us to<\/p>\n
503
\n00:36:08,900 –> 00:36:14,500
\nbe listening.
\nMy son James when he was <\/p>\n
504
\n00:36:14,500 –> 00:36:20,500
\nstudying for his exams, he was
\nstruggling with his chemistry. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:36:21,000 –> 00:36:26,000
\nNow, my brother-in-law is a
\nchemistry teacher and I said to <\/p>\n
506
\n00:36:26,000 –> 00:36:29,600
\nhim, I said to James James, why
\ndon’t you go and phone Uncle? <\/p>\n
507
\n00:36:29,600 –> 00:36:35,100
\nMalcolm your uncle, who’s this
\nchemistry teacher and and he’ll <\/p>\n
508
\n00:36:35,100 –> 00:36:38,700
\nhelp you and James said, I don’t
\nwant to go and find him. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:36:39,700 –> 00:36:43,600
\nSo, why not?
\nThe reason is he doesn’t give me<\/p>\n
510
\n00:36:43,600 –> 00:36:46,600
\nthe answer, he is keeping ask me
\nmore questions. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:36:49,000 –> 00:36:51,200
\nAs a good teacher, isn’t it?
\nFor those of you who are <\/p>\n
512
\n00:36:51,200 –> 00:36:54,500
\nteachers, you know, he’s keeping
\nasking that questions. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:36:55,800 –> 00:36:57,700
\nActually what he is, a great
\nteacher. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:36:58,900 –> 00:37:02,000
\nWhen we ask him questions, he
\nasked questions back of us. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:37:02,700 –> 00:37:09,500
\nAnd that way we learn So prayer
\nis about listening. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:37:11,300 –> 00:37:15,200
\nAnd seeing God, active in our
\nlives. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:37:19,400 –> 00:37:23,200
\nSo what have we learned this
\nmorning in how, what tools can <\/p>\n
518
\n00:37:23,200 –> 00:37:26,200
\nwheeler, can we use
\ntransformation? <\/p>\n
519
\n00:37:26,300 –> 00:37:30,200
\nHow can we transform practically
\nin our everyday life? <\/p>\n
520
\n00:37:30,200 –> 00:37:33,600
\nWe depreciated what it was.
\nWhat is transformation we <\/p>\n
521
\n00:37:33,600 –> 00:37:36,300
\nappreciated.
\nAs to why we should do it, the <\/p>\n
522
\n00:37:36,300 –> 00:37:39,500
\ndisplacement Theory.
\nSo how can we do it? <\/p>\n
523
\n00:37:43,800 –> 00:37:47,300
\nGod, does the changing we do the
\ntraining? <\/p>\n
524
\n00:37:48,900 –> 00:37:53,700
\nwe set our sails, we trim the
\nsails, we move the rudder, he <\/p>\n
525
\n00:37:53,700 –> 00:37:57,800
\nblows the wind And we get into
\ntraining, that’s our <\/p>\n
526
\n00:37:57,800 –> 00:38:01,700
\nresponsibility to do the
\ntraining, to read the <\/p>\n
527
\n00:38:01,700 –> 00:38:04,700
\nscriptures, and to offer the
\nprayers. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:38:08,200 –> 00:38:12,700
\nThe Bible is a practical
\ntraining manual. <\/p>\n
529
\n00:38:15,000 –> 00:38:19,500
\nIt is a life-changing not a
\nbrain changing manual. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:38:22,500 –> 00:38:26,300
\nFor it, is there to enable us to
\ndo. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:38:26,300 –> 00:38:30,000
\nGood works, not to accumulate
\nknowledge. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:38:33,200 –> 00:38:37,900
\nPrayer is a powerful method of
\nlistening to God. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:38:39,300 –> 00:38:44,300
\nI always thought the prayer was
\nabout speaking prayer is about <\/p>\n
534
\n00:38:44,300 –> 00:38:48,300
\nlistening.
\nFinally. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:38:49,500 –> 00:38:52,300
\nGod will change and transform
\nus. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:38:53,500 –> 00:38:59,800
\nBy continually asking us very
\npertinent questions in our <\/p>\n
537
\n00:38:59,800 –> 00:39:04,400
\nlives.
\nAnd that’s the wonderful life <\/p>\n
538
