always the right answer 42 00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:56,233 if you're new welcome 43 00:01:56,233 --> 00:01:58,366 we are in the middle of a four month series 44 00:01:58,433 --> 00:01:59,000 where we have been 45 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,966 going through the pillars of our house and uh 46 00:02:01,966 --> 00:02:04,133 you know the heartbeat behind these pillars 47 00:02:04,233 --> 00:02:05,900 is that every person in the room 48 00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:08,266 is thriving in every single one of them 49 00:02:08,266 --> 00:02:11,233 amen that we're thriving in every one of them 50 00:02:11,233 --> 00:02:13,300 we don't understand that we're supernatural 51 00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:15,766 but we're thriving in being a supernatural people 52 00:02:16,066 --> 00:02:18,066 we don't just understand that we're a family 53 00:02:18,066 --> 00:02:19,233 but we're thriving 54 00:02:19,233 --> 00:02:21,100 in the midst of a community and a family 55 00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:22,700 and we're not doing life alone 56 00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:25,200 we don't just understand that we're growing 57 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,600 but we're thriving in the fact that we are growing 58 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,166 into the maturity of the sonship of the father 59 00:02:31,166 --> 00:02:32,866 and looking more and more like Jesus 60 00:02:33,033 --> 00:02:34,066 and that we're thriving 61 00:02:34,066 --> 00:02:36,900 in the concept that we're actually meant to go 62 00:02:36,900 --> 00:02:37,800 therefore 63 00:02:40,833 --> 00:02:43,500 and Paul Manring was here a few months ago and 64 00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:45,733 and he made this little comment about Easter 65 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,400 he says 66 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,466 we always talk about him being risen in the morning 67 00:02:48,466 --> 00:02:50,633 but we don't talk about what he said in the evening 68 00:02:50,633 --> 00:02:53,033 amen and it just resonated with me 69 00:02:53,033 --> 00:02:54,066 and if you know me 70 00:02:54,066 --> 00:02:57,066 my heart's passion is that the cities are transformed 71 00:02:57,166 --> 00:02:59,533 that is my biggest heartbeat 72 00:03:00,166 --> 00:03:01,766 and when when 73 00:03:01,766 --> 00:03:03,966 when I heard that it just resonated 74 00:03:03,966 --> 00:03:04,800 and I'm like well 75 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,600 let tell me more about this 76 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,900 so I just dug around and I'm like 77 00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:11,133 you know I think we're gonna go after this today 78 00:03:11,466 --> 00:03:13,066 that there's more to the story 79 00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:15,700 if I was to use a metaphor of a play 80 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,933 I'd say 81 00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:22,466 the resurrection was just an one act 82 00:03:22,466 --> 00:03:25,766 of a very large story being told 83 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,133 the most important act 84 00:03:30,033 --> 00:03:32,966 but it was one act in a larger story 85 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,466 and I think what happens sometimes 86 00:03:36,466 --> 00:03:37,700 and I remember uh 87 00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:39,800 having this experience where uh 88 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,600 uh uh 89 00:03:40,833 --> 00:03:42,400 I'm I'm really 90 00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:43,966 the message of the gospel was 91 00:03:43,966 --> 00:03:45,400 that my sins would get paid for 92 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,533 and I would could wait till Jesus comes back 93 00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:53,166 and I think it's short sighted 94 00:03:53,166 --> 00:03:56,466 it's not not true it's just not complete 95 00:03:57,700 --> 00:03:59,333 there's more to the story 96 00:04:00,966 --> 00:04:04,700 it's just a piece of a bigger story being told 97 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,200 I want to talk about what that is this morning 98 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,233 if you want to turn to Genesis 1 today 99 00:04:14,233 --> 00:04:16,300 we're going to be going from Genesis to revelation 100

heavens and the earth 130 00:06:02,066 --> 00:06:03,366 this was his dream 131 00:06:04,366 --> 00:06:05,900 this was his idea 132 00:06:07,433 --> 00:06:08,966 the earth was formless and void 133 00:06:08,966 --> 00:06:10,766 and darkness covered the surface of the deep 134 00:06:10,766 --> 00:06:11,600 and the spirit of god 135 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,600 was moving over the surface of the waters 136 00:06:13,966 --> 00:06:15,566 and then god said let there be light 137 00:06:15,566 --> 00:06:16,700 and there was light 138 00:06:17,466 --> 00:06:19,766 god saw the light was good 139

--> 00:06:42,200 and separated the waters which were below the expanse 149 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,166 from the waters which were the expanse 150 00:06:44,166 --> 00:06:45,266 and it was so 151

00:13:43,066 --> 00:13:44,100 what was it 321 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,566 the enemy was already in the earth 322 00:13:49,033 --> 00:13:50,300 so they had a job 323 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,666

--> 00:14:09,566 I would propose to you they forfeited the dream 327 00:14:13,766 --> 00:14:17,466 that he created a world with all the animals 328 00:14:17,466 --> 00:14:18,966 all the beauty all the nature 329 00:14:18,966 --> 00:14:20,166 all the the uh 330 00:14:20,166 --> 00:14:20,400 uh uh 331 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,200 uh uh 332 00:14:21,233 --> 00:14:21,800 humans and 333 00:14:21,800

00:14:27,866 --> 00:14:29,066 in his image 337 00:14:29,433 --> 00:14:31,633 they're gonna rule and reign like he rules and reigns 338 00:14:31,633 --> 00:14:33,300 they're gonna govern like he

forfeited was the dream 342 00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:49,033 when they bought into the lie that 343 00:14:49,033 --> 00:14:50,966 you know the enemy says hey 344 00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:53,600 he doesn't want you to eat from the tree of knowledge 345 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,333 of good and evil cause in that day you will be like him 346 00:14:58,100 --> 00:15:00,300 the biggest lie because they were already like him 347 00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:05,800 and now they're saying yes to something that forfeited 348 00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:09,700 the dream their authority 349 00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:11,500 their communion with the god 350 00:15:12,666 --> 00:15:14,966 their their mission their mandate 351 00:15:16,366 --> 00:15:17,733 they forfeited it all 352 00:15:18,266 --> 00:15:20,266 they began to serve another master 353 00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:22,133 death entered the world 354 00:15:24,633 --> 00:15:26,966 what we see that we're trying to escape 355 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,733 is the fruit of that choice 356 00:15:32,466 --> 00:15:35,100 that destruction devastation 357 00:15:35,766 --> 00:15:36,400 steal kill 358 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,666 destroy is unleashed into the earth with authority 359 00:15:40,666 --> 00:15:45,733 because the enemy took the authority that man had 360 00:15:45,766 --> 00:15:49,300 that was given to Adam and Eve by god 361 00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:52,500 the enemy stole it with a lie 362 00:15:52,766 --> 00:15:55,766 and now he now he has authority to rule 363 00:15:55,766 --> 00:15:57,700 and reign devastation 364 00:15:57,766 --> 00:15:59,000 steal kill destroy 365 00:16:00,066 --> 00:16:01,100 I want to propose to you 366 00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:02,366 the bigger part of the story is 367 00:16:02,366 --> 00:16:06,666 from this point god goes on a mission to reconcile 368 00:16:08,666 --> 00:16:11,500 not just that we would go to heaven to reconcile 369 00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:12,300 the dream 370 00:16:13,166 --> 00:16:16,200 that we would be reconciled back to the father 371 00:16:18,366 --> 00:16:22,066 before the fall there was no separation between the the 372 00:16:22,066 --> 00:16:24,866 the heavenly realm and the natural realm 373 00:16:24,866 --> 00:16:27,500 it was all one we walked and talked in the 374 00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:29,600 in the cool of the day with the father 375 00:16:29,766 --> 00:16:31,100 as Blake would say 376 00:16:31,266 --> 00:16:33,600 not so any different than the way I'm seeing you today 377 00:16:38,266 --> 00:16:39,900 but once the enemy came in and lied 378 00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:43,600 it began to create a separation between the two realms 379 00:16:44,033 --> 00:16:45,500 the third heaven as we would say 380 00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:47,500 or the first heaven in the natural realm 381 00:16:47,633 --> 00:16:50,900 and we no longer could have communion with the Lord 382 00:16:53,366 --> 00:16:54,966 q the whole Old Testament 383 00:16:55,266 --> 00:16:58,866 now he chooses man he chooses prophets to speak through 384 00:16:58,866 --> 00:17:02,866 and intercessors to intercede on behalf of 385 00:17:03,366 --> 00:17:04,666 to interact with the people 386 00:17:04,666 --> 00:17:06,400 but his heart's desire is 387 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,933 I wanna be with the people 388 00:17:10,166 --> 00:17:11,533 I would propose 389 00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:16,966 what we see happening is a mission to restore 390 00:17:16,966 --> 00:17:21,200 to redeem and to reconcile what was lost in the garden 391 00:17:21,766 --> 00:17:22,700 his dream 392 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:24,733 it was good 393 00:17:25,966 --> 00:17:27,300 it was his dream 394 00:17:28,433 --> 00:17:30,366 if god had an idea to do something 395 00:17:30,366 --> 00:17:31,800 I think it's pretty good 396 00:17:35,166 --> 00:17:38,300 if he had a plan and a mission and a mandate 397 00:17:38,966 --> 00:17:40,766 and something he wanted to do with a people 398 00:17:40,766 --> 00:17:42,366 I would think it's pretty good 399 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,866 so what does he do now 400 00:17:51,233 --> 00:17:52,666 we're gonna go quickly 401 00:17:56,300 --> 00:17:57,966 I propose he sends 402 00:17:58,233 --> 00:18:00,366 he goes on this mission throughout the Old Testament 403 00:18:00,366 --> 00:18:02,433 until we get to Jesus and Jesus 404 00:18:02,433 --> 00:18:04,800 one of the acts in the whole play 405 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,233 but throughout the whole Old Testament 406 00:18:07,233 --> 00:18:08,066 you can go through 407 00:18:08,066 --> 00:18:10,100 and just see the heartbeat of the father 408 00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:11,500 in his nature 409 00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:14,766 in his desire for restoration and reconciliation 410 00:18:15,366 --> 00:18:18,200 that his desire is to be reconciled with his people 411 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,400 his desire is to be to save what was lost 412 00:18:24,866 --> 00:18:28,566 so how does he do it he sends a man 413 00:18:29,766 --> 00:18:31,566 he has always sent someone 414 00:18:32,033 --> 00:18:34,533 he sent Abraham to create a nation 415 00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:37,566 holy unto himself 416 00:18:38,466 --> 00:18:41,766 he sent Joseph to save a nation 417 00:18:44,566 --> 00:18:46,833 that nation was preparing for potential famine 418 00:18:46,833 --> 00:18:49,800 and to be wiped out and Joseph shows up on the scene 419 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,500 and brings wisdom from another realm 420 00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:56,533 that saved a gentile nation that was evil 421 00:18:57,766 --> 00:19:00,933 and it saved his nation the nation of Israel 422 00:19:05,233 --> 00:19:06,800 his heart is to save 423 00:19:07,633 --> 00:19:11,400 his heart is to reconcile and restore what was lost 424 00:19:14,866 --> 00:19:16,600 we go through and you have Nehemiah 425 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,366 Nehemiah is sent to Jerusalem 426 00:19:18,366 --> 00:19:19,900 upon discovering its walls are broken 427 00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:22,933 and the gates are burned and he sent to 428 00:19:22,966 --> 00:19:24,200 and when he sent 429 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,300 he ends up repenting on behalf of Israel 430 00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:27,733 that wasn't even his mess 431 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,633 he repents on behalf of Israel and ends up bringing the 432 00:19:32,633 --> 00:19:34,700 the restoration of the gates 433 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,666 the restoration of the walls 434 00:19:36,666 --> 00:19:38,700 and we know the story in 52 days 435 00:19:38,700 --> 00:19:40,766 they couldn't do it in 70 some years 436 00:19:40,766 --> 00:19:42,666 and he does it in 52 days 437 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,166 but that's just the first part of even that story 438 00:19:45,166 --> 00:19:47,766 he spends another 12 years restoring it 439 00:19:47,766 --> 00:19:50,733 restoring Israel back to it being a 440 00:19:50,866 --> 00:19:53,600 a sustaining country that follows the Lord 441 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,466 he restores their statutes 442 00:20:01,833 --> 00:20:02,633 Jonah 443 00:20:02,633 --> 00:20:05,700 Jonah was sent to prophesy God's judgment on the city 444 00:20:06,433 --> 00:20:07,833 god said I'm done with these guys 445 00:20:07,833 --> 00:20:09,166 they're evil they're wicked 446 00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:11,533 go send them 447 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,600 give them the prophetic word 448 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,333 that this is coming upon them 449 00:20:17,666 --> 00:20:19,266 Jonah doesn't want to go 450 00:20:20,466 --> 00:20:22,900 because he knows the nature of this father 451 00:20:24,766 --> 00:20:26,766 because he knows if I give them this word 452 00:20:26,766 --> 00:20:28,866 they're gonna repent and you're gonna relent 453 00:20:30,666 --> 00:20:32,600 but he actually wanted them to pay 454 00:20:35,033 --> 00:20:35,833 hmm 455 00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:39,200 so he sends a man 456 00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:42,966 he sends Jonah Jonah prophesies the judgment 457 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,100 they repented and he relented 458 00:20:48,366 --> 00:20:50,133 do we know the nature of this father 459 00:20:51,433 --> 00:20:53,166 do we know the nature of this creator 460 00:20:53,166 --> 00:20:55,433 he sends Daniel into Babylon 461 00:20:55,433 --> 00:20:56,766 who serves multiple kings 462 00:20:56,766 --> 00:20:58,533 over the course of 70 some years 463 00:20:58,633 --> 00:21:00,100 who Daniel brings about wisdom 464 00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:04,466 governance and blessing to a wicked nation 465 00:21:09,066 --> 00:21:11,833 look I won't get into all of this 466 00:21:11,833 --> 00:21:13,666 but if this was to happen today 467 00:21:13,666 --> 00:21:15,300 we would ostracize him 468 00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:18,033 the church would ostracize someone 469 00:21:18,033 --> 00:21:19,666 that was doing something like this 470 00:21:19,666 --> 00:21:21,933 cause it we have a short sighted view 471 00:21:24,233 --> 00:21:26,666 the heart of the father is for restoration 472 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,000 it's actually to reconcile mankind back to him yes 473 00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:34,266 to close the gap of the difference 474 00:21:34,266 --> 00:21:36,266 the separation between the his 475 00:21:36,266 --> 00:21:38,533 his kingdom realm and our earthly realm 476 00:21:38,766 --> 00:21:40,533 this is actually his heartbeat 477 00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:44,500 we know it through Matthew 6 478 00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:45,300 when he says hey 479 00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:47,300 pray like this that your kingdom would come 480 00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:49,466 your will would be done where 481 00:21:49,966 --> 00:21:53,766 on the earth his idea his dream 482 00:21:55,966 --> 00:21:58,800 just as it is in heaven hey 483 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,166 just like it is in this realm I want it in this one 484 00:22:05,233 --> 00:22:09,466 I propose he's on a mission to restore the dream 485 00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:15,166 now Q Jesus 486 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,233 Jesus shows up on the scene again 487 00:22:19,233 --> 00:22:21,300 he's sending a man haha 488 00:22:22,066 --> 00:22:23,700 Luke 19:10 489 00:22:24,766 --> 00:22:26,266 for the son of man has come 490 00:22:26,266 --> 00:22:29,766 to seek and save that which was lost what was lost 491 00:22:32,166 --> 00:22:34,400 we've been taught this verse to say 492 00:22:35,766 --> 00:22:38,300 he comes to seek and save the lost 493 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,200 but it's not actually what it says 494 00:22:44,366 --> 00:22:46,000 we're short sighted again 495 00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:49,666 there's a bigger story at play 496 00:22:49,833 --> 00:22:52,800 he's inviting us into something much larger 497 00:22:54,033 --> 00:22:54,566 and I 498 00:22:54,566 --> 00:22:58,600 and I think we short side it by sitting at the cross 499 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,366 waiting for him to come back come on 500 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,366 when he's no longer there 501 00:23:05,633 --> 00:23:07,633 he's actually inviting us in 502 00:23:07,633 --> 00:23:09,633 to the larger part of the story 503 00:23:09,633 --> 00:23:10,433 and he's saying 504 00:23:10,433 --> 00:23:13,866 can you see that I restored what was lost 505 00:23:14,866 --> 00:23:17,900 Jesus came to restore that which was lost 506 00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:20,333 the communion to remove the veil 507 00:23:20,833 --> 00:23:22,600 Christ in you the hope of glory 508 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,466 as Paul would say two different realms 509 00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:29,000 you see when we got saved 510 00:23:29,566 --> 00:23:31,266 the spirit inside of us came alive 511 00:23:31,266 --> 00:23:32,700 it says in Ephesians and Galatians 512 00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:34,933 it says the spirit inside of us was made alive 513 00:23:35,633 --> 00:23:37,200 it came to life 514 00:23:39,566 --> 00:23:40,600 Luke uh uh uh 515 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,066 Luke 17 says the kingdom of heaven is 516 00:23:44,466 -->

00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:50,000 he says that it's Christ in you 589 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,700 the hope of glory the idea 590 00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:53,700 idea that you could have Christ in you 591 00:26:53,700 --> 00:26:55,633 that you could have heaven inside of you 592 00:26:55,633 --> 00:26:57,800 that your spirit could even come alive 593 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,500 was absolutely foreign for thousands of years 594 00:27:02,633 --> 00:27:04,733 but it was the dream come on 595 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:14,900 can't get into too much 596 00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:17,866 I'll touch on this in Romans 8 for a second 597 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,200 and we start with 14 598 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,433 for all who are being LED by the spirit of god 599 00:27:28,433 --> 00:27:29,766 these are the sons of god 600 00:27:30,366 --> 00:27:32,233 for you've not received a spirit of slavery 601 00:27:32,233 --> 00:27:33,066 leading to fear again 602 00:27:33,066 --> 00:27:37,700 but you've received a spirit of adoption as sons 603 00:27:37,766 --> 00:27:39,733 by which we cry out Abba Father 604 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,633 the spirit himself testifies with our spirit 605 00:27:42,633 --> 00:27:43,766 that we are children of god 606 00:27:43,766 --> 00:27:44,766 and if children heirs 607 00:27:44,766 --> 00:27:48,500 also heirs of god and not follow heirs with Christ in 608 00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:48,900 if indeed 609 00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:51,533 we suffer with him so that we may be glorified with him 610 00:27:51,766 --> 00:27:53,966 for I consider that the sufferings of this present time 611 00:27:53,966 --> 00:27:55,266 are not worthy to be compared 612 00:27:55,266 --> 00:27:57,500 with the glory that is to be revealed in us 613 00:27:57,500 --> 00:27:59,166 I won't get into all of that 614 00:27:59,233 --> 00:28:00,666 suffice it to say you 615 00:28:00,666 --> 00:28:02,266 you are sons of god 616 00:28:02,266 --> 00:28:04,566 because the spirit of god is within you 617 00:28:04,700 --> 00:28:07,166 yes and then we're LED by that spirit 618 00:28:07,866 --> 00:28:09,700 and if that is the case 619 00:28:11,466 --> 00:28:12,533 why 620 00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:14,633 I can't get into all this 621 00:28:14,633 --> 00:28:16,566 Romans 6 starts out with you're dead 622 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:17,833 you're dead you're dead 623 00:28:17,833 --> 00:28:18,900 you're dead the old man is dead 624 00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:20,066 if in the likeness of his burial 625 00:28:20,066 --> 00:28:21,866 you've been buried in the likeness of his resurrection 626 00:28:21,866 --> 00:28:24,000 you've been lifted up that's the Easter message 627 00:28:25,066 --> 00:28:26,266 but why within 628 00:28:26,266 --> 00:28:28,366 it goes through seven and explains 629 00:28:28,366 --> 00:28:28,633 oh yeah 630 00:28:28,633 --> 00:28:29,866 you still have a natural man 631 00:28:29,866 --> 00:28:31,466 and a soul that you're still working through 632 00:28:31,466 --> 00:28:33,600 and it still has ways that aren't complete 633 00:28:34,166 --> 00:28:36,700 they don't function in the likeness of Christ 634 00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:38,966 even though your spirit man has been made alive 635 00:28:38,966 --> 00:28:41,100 yes and here's the wrestle 636 00:28:41,700 --> 00:28:44,200 can you subdue the spirit the 637 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,133 the soul 638

LED by the spirit 641 00:28:49,766 --> 00:28:51,100 are the sons of god 642 00:28:52,366 --> 00:28:53,233 Romans 8 now 643 00:28:53,233 --> 00:28:55,300 Romans 8 says your sons of god 644 00:28:55,300

00:29:01,700 don't submit yourself back into the slavery 648 00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:02,600 now that you have the option 649 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,100 to not be LED by the spirit 650 00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:08,000 lead yourself 651 00:29:08,833 --> 00:29:11,800 lead your soul your soul's broken 652 00:29:13,233 --> 00:29:14,633 it's it's it's 653 00:29:14,633 --> 00:29:15,233 it's it's ah 654

657 00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:22,800 but now that your spirit 658 00:29:22,966 --> 00:29:25,066 if you're LED by the spirit and your sons of god 659 00:29:25,066 --> 00:29:26,866 then what's the what's the why for it 660 00:29:26,866 --> 00:29:28,166 Romans 8:19 661 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,766 for the anxious longing of creation 662 00:29:30,766 --> 00:29:33,366 waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of god 663 00:29:33,366 --> 00:29:34,200 this is after all 664 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,400 that I just described 665 00:29:36,033 --> 00:29:38,966 this is why because creation itself 666 00:29:38,966 --> 00:29:39,833 is waiting eagerly 667 00:29:39,833 --> 00:29:41,600 for the revealing of the sons of god 668 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,866 for creation was subjected to futility 669 00:29:43,866 --> 00:29:46,266 not willingly but because of him who subjected it 670 00:29:46,266 --> 00:29:47,066 when 671 00:29:47,666 --> 00:29:48,833 back in the beginning 672 00:29:48,833 --> 00:29:50,866 when we lost and forfeited the dream 673 00:29:51,433 --> 00:29:53,533 it was subjected into death 674 00:29:54,433 --> 00:29:57,100 death entered the world it didn't exist before 675

creation itself is in futility 682 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,033 and then he says that creation also will be in oh not 683 00:30:18,033 --> 00:30:20,033 not subjected subjected to futility 684 00:30:20,033 --> 00:30:22,633 not willingly but because of him who subjected it 685 00:30:22,633 --> 00:30:26,266 in hope that the creation itself would also be set free 686 00:30:26,266 --> 00:30:28,366 from its slavery to corruption 687 00:30:28,433 --> 00:30:30,100 and into the freedom 688 00:30:30,100 --> 00:30:32,600 of the glory of the children of god 689 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:35,400 what what what 690 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:36,700 what's part of the whole story 691 00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:38,400 he's restoring a dream 692 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,633 creation is supposed to get set free 693 00:30:40,633 --> 00:30:43,366 from its slavery to death by us 694 00:30:45,066 --> 00:30:46,300 it says all creations 695 00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:48,600 waiting for the revealing of the sons of god 696 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,500 I say it this way it's waiting for us to figure it out 697 00:30:52,666 --> 00:30:54,533 it's waiting for us to wake up 698 00:30:55,433
