Timothy Brindle
The Great Awakening
[Introduction with turntablism]
Here is a story
This is the Great Awakening
Perhaps we should start from the beginning
The problem:
Romans 5:12
Therefore just as sin entered the world through one man and death through sin and in this way death came to all men because all sinned
Ephesians 2:1-3
As for you, you were dead (when you were dead in your sins) you were dead in your transgressions and sins in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath
The only solution for this particular problem is:
Well your issue isn't that you need to turn over a new leaf
Your issue isn't that you simply need a makeover
You don't need a tune-up
You need a resurrection
You need to be regenerated
You need to be born again
You must be born again
Ephesians 5:14
Wake up O sleeper arise from the dead and Christ will shine on you
[Sample: Evangel from ChristCentric]
Those who believe in Christ awaken to life
Ephesians 2:4-5
Because of His great love for us, God who is rich in mercy made us alive with Christ (God made you alive with Christ) even when we were dead in transgressions -- it is by grace you've been saved
[Sample: Timothy Brindle in Liberation]
He took the violent wrath on my behalf so I could have life and be alive at last
John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?
[Sample: Steven the Levite from Redeemed Thought]
It's either live dying or die living
[Sample: Shai Linne in Issues]
I would talk about myself but I'm dead / God killed me and gave me His Son's life instead
This is the great awakening of Timothy who was dead in his transgressions and sins, living hostile to God, but through faith that Jesus Christ paid the full punishment for his sins on the cross God has forgiven him after resurrecting him in Christ Jesus
