=== Battling Temptation (03:07) ===

[00:00:00]  But he is a stone's throw away.
[00:00:02]  That's a good distance.
[00:00:03]  And he's battling.
[00:00:05]  Sweat turns to blood.
[00:00:06]  The capillaries burst in his foreheads from the straining and the praying and the crying and the weeping.
[00:00:12]  And he's praying.
[00:00:13]  And finally, obviously, he's under temptation.
[00:00:15]  The Bible says he was tempted in every way we are, yet without sin.
[00:00:19]  He's the creator of the universe.
[00:00:25]  Boré Ha'ulam, the creator of the universe.
[00:00:32]  And he knows he does not have to do this if he doesn't want to.
[00:00:39]  Who's it going to get in trouble with?
[00:00:40]  It's his.
[00:00:42]  He knows he doesn't have to.
[00:00:43]  It's his love for what he's done.
[00:00:46]  It's his love for you.
[00:00:47]  He saw us.
[00:00:49]  And so he battled and he battled and he said he knew what this was.
[00:00:53]  He knew what that beating was going to be.
[00:00:55]  He knew what a crucifixion was.
[00:00:59]  He takes a deep breath, blood trickling down his face, and he says, nevertheless, I'm going to reverse this curse, not my will, but the throne of heavens, O Lord.
[00:01:12]  And then he goes to the cross and pays for it.
[00:01:15]  And he rises from the grave to prove to us who he is.
[00:01:18]  Now we have a choice.
[00:01:20]  The bottom line is ground zero, the curse has been reversed.
[00:01:23]  But in the meantime, it is Satan's stolen world.
[00:01:28]  Revelation 12.
[00:01:30]  That's right.
[00:01:30]  12.
[00:01:31]  Woe unto you, earth, in these days, because Satan has been thrown down.
[00:01:39]  But he knows his time is short.
[00:01:40]  He is filled with rage.
[00:01:42]  Can you see his rage?
[00:01:43]  Yeah.
[00:01:44]  We can see all around us.
[00:01:45]  And this is what's happening.
[00:01:47]  So we don't give up.
[00:01:49]  We don't give up.
[00:01:50]  Greater is he.
[00:01:50]  In fact, when Paul writes, and he writes in 1 Thessalonians 4, excuse me, 1 Thessalonians 5, he writes about the thief in the night.
[00:02:00]  He says, but this day, this day of coming of the Lord won't overtake you like a thief in the night.
[00:02:04]  Lost people will be.
[00:02:05]  He says, but you're children of the light.
[00:02:08]  He says, you will not suffer the wrath of God.
[00:02:10]  You will not.
[00:02:11]  And then he says, therefore, encourage each other with these words.
[00:02:14]  Peter says, how about pray to speed its coming?
[00:02:18]  Oh, Lord, let it come.
[00:02:19]  And that shouldn't be a surprise to us because how did Jesus teach us how to pray?
[00:02:23]  Our Father who art in heaven, holy is your name.
[00:02:26]  Thy kingdom come.
[00:02:29]  Thy will be done one day soon on earth as it is now in heaven.
[00:02:34]  He taught us to pray.
[00:02:35]  We just say it like a little magic thing in our churches here.
[00:02:38]  Our Father who art in heaven says, Halloween, thy kingdom come.
[00:02:41]  Come on, you know the rest of it.
[00:02:45]  That's not what it is.
[00:02:46]  He says, here's your attitude.
[00:02:48]  Pray like this.
[00:02:50]  I know this is Satan's world.
[00:02:53]  I know I'm an ambassador for you.
[00:02:54]  I know you've put me here on purpose.
[00:02:56]  I know you've already provided for my salvation.
[00:02:58]  Thank you, Jesus.
[00:02:59]  I couldn't have done it.
[00:03:00]  So please, Lord, hurry up.
[00:03:04]  We are ready for King Jesus.
[00:03:06]  We are ready for King Jesus.
