00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,960
Born on October 26, 1948 - Died on April 29, 2016

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,800
I'll tell you what the blessing of God is.

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,170
Being in the will of God,

4
00:00:11,170 --> 00:00:12,380
walking with Him,

5
00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:13,690
hearing His voice,

6
00:00:13,690 --> 00:00:15,700
staying in fellowship with Him,

7
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:17,110
knowing His Word,

8
00:00:17,110 --> 00:00:18,430
loving Him.

9
00:00:18,430 --> 00:00:21,520
Seeing miracles wrought because He's doing it through your life,

10
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,150
and in your life for His own glory.

11
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:27,910
Were only He can get glory out of your life.

12
00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:29,869
That is the life of faith.

13
00:00:29,869 --> 00:00:34,999
It might mean that you don't have anything.

14
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:38,769
Can I say this to you?

15
00:00:38,769 --> 00:00:41,360
There is another day coming,

16
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,240
and this world is not all there is to it.

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,860
Jesus said that those people who live by faith,

18
00:00:47,860 --> 00:00:51,549
of whom the world is not worthy,

19
00:00:51,549 --> 00:00:55,070
but there is another world.

20
00:00:55,070 --> 00:00:58,750
And in that world they're not worthy to be there,

21
00:00:58,750 --> 00:01:03,739
and yet the Bible says they'll shine as the stars forever.

22
00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:08,510
It's going to be a good time.

23
00:01:08,850 --> 00:01:09,930
It's going to be a good time.

24
00:01:09,930 --> 00:01:12,369
When all the wrongs are made right,

25
00:01:12,369 --> 00:01:14,280
and everything that is upside down

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,429
will be straightened up.

27
00:01:19,149 --> 00:01:21,570
All the things that we can't straighten out here,

28
00:01:21,570 --> 00:01:23,979
are straightened out.

29
00:01:26,459 --> 00:01:29,590
They're having a pretty good time over there right now.

30
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:34,259
And by the way, it's just on the other side,

31
00:01:34,259 --> 00:01:36,200
we see through a glass darkly.

32
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,270
I think every once in a while I can hear somebody laughing over there.

33
00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:47,329
Guys this world's not what it's about.

34
00:01:47,329 --> 00:01:49,509
This is not where your fulfillment is.

35
00:01:49,509 --> 00:01:53,009
Here, you live by faith,

36
00:01:53,009 --> 00:01:55,050
not by sight.

37
00:01:55,050 --> 00:01:57,609
Then we'll see Him as He is,

38
00:01:57,609 --> 00:01:59,440
and we'll be like Him,

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,040
and then it'll be by sight.

40
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:04,560
I love you.

41
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,609
I thank God for letting me get to know you.

42
00:02:07,269 --> 00:02:11,428
I was sitting over there while ago thinking Heaven's like this.

43
00:02:11,428 --> 00:02:13,510
They're laughing.

44
00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:15,849
They're hugging one another.

45
00:02:15,849 --> 00:02:19,730
They're experiencing pure love.

46
00:02:19,730 --> 00:02:21,140
And if Jesus walks into the room

47
00:02:21,140 --> 00:02:24,620
they are stop and bow and worship,

48
00:02:24,620 --> 00:02:25,940
and weep and say,

49
00:02:25,940 --> 00:02:27,530
"Thank you Jesus."

50
00:02:27,530 --> 00:02:29,450
"Thank you Lord; thank you Lord."

51
00:02:29,450 --> 00:02:30,900
And then they laugh,

52
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:31,849
and they hug,

53
00:02:31,849 --> 00:02:34,569
and they renew old acquaintances.

54
00:02:34,569 --> 00:02:37,090
And they looked at somebody and say,

55
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:39,549
"Wow, I didn't know me you were going to be here,

56
00:02:39,549 --> 00:02:42,870
it's so good to see you."

57
00:02:42,870 --> 00:02:45,320
Heaven's a wonderful place.

58
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,970
That old boy will answer and say,

59
00:02:46,970 --> 00:02:50,939
"Yeah, God saved me five years after our lives parted,

60
00:02:50,939 --> 00:02:52,930
God saved me."

61
00:02:52,930 --> 00:02:54,519
And I have to say to those of you

62
00:02:54,519 --> 00:02:59,239
who have never come to Christ alone.

63
00:02:59,239 --> 00:03:02,870
He is the only way to God.

64
00:03:03,710 --> 00:03:05,510
"What should I do brother Mike?"

65
00:03:05,510 --> 00:03:09,189
You should repent of your sins and look to Christ.

66
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:10,569
And in looking, listen,

67
00:03:10,569 --> 00:03:11,730
you should just look to Christ

68
00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:13,819
because if you genuinely look to Christ

69
00:03:13,819 --> 00:03:15,810
you are turning away from your sins.

70
00:03:15,810 --> 00:03:17,739
Look to Jesus.

71
00:03:17,739 --> 00:03:19,010
Turn away from yourself.

72
00:03:19,010 --> 00:03:21,420
Turn away from what you're believing today.

73
00:03:21,420 --> 00:03:23,000
Turn away from what you're trusting.

74
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,700
Look to Jesus Christ,

75
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:26,739
the dying Lamb of God.

76
00:03:26,739 --> 00:03:30,720
The Bible says upon whom God poured His wrath out

77
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,129
for your sin and for my sin.

78
00:03:33,129 --> 00:03:37,239
God poured His wrath out on the Son of God

79
00:03:37,239 --> 00:03:39,040
as if He hated Him

80
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,980
because He hated us and our sins,

81
00:03:41,980 --> 00:03:44,640
but Jesus took that in our place.

82
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,070
Our God took that in our place

83
00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:50,349
that we might be saved.

84
00:03:50,349 --> 00:03:52,480
Turn away from everything else,

85
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,629
turn to Christ.

86
00:03:53,629 --> 00:03:54,700
I admonish you,

87
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:55,499
I beg you,

88
00:03:55,499 --> 00:03:57,120
I plead with you:

89
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,530
turn to Jesus Christ.

90
00:03:59,150 --> 00:04:03,010
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. - Philippians 1:21
