[1178.16 --> 1179.76] and then some other people |
[1179.76 --> 1180.46] who are by the deck |
[1180.46 --> 1181.44] move to the middle of the boat |
[1181.44 --> 1182.70] where there's this glass enclosure |
[1182.70 --> 1183.66] and they can just sit down |
[1183.66 --> 1184.36] because they've been standing |
[1184.36 --> 1184.88] for a while. |
[1185.34 --> 1186.20] And then there's another group |
[1186.20 --> 1187.56] of people who are holding |
[1187.56 --> 1188.48] on to that railing. |
[1188.54 --> 1188.82] They're like, |
[1188.86 --> 1189.58] we paid good money |
[1189.58 --> 1190.92] to be on this whale watching tour. |
[1191.16 --> 1192.66] We're not going to miss this whale. |
[1192.78 --> 1193.56] We're going to wait |
[1193.56 --> 1194.54] and see for this thing |
[1194.54 --> 1195.10] to show up. |
[1196.54 --> 1197.44] Well, their moment came. |
[1197.44 --> 1199.22] And they had their, |
[1199.32 --> 1200.00] what you might call |
[1200.00 --> 1201.42] national geographic moment |
[1201.42 --> 1202.12] because a whale, |
[1202.32 --> 1203.70] bigger than the boat itself, |
[1203.86 --> 1205.28] breached right beside the boat, |
[1205.64 --> 1207.34] launched itself up into the air |
[1207.34 --> 1208.52] right beside them. |
[1208.70 --> 1209.98] And as it was going down, |
[1210.04 --> 1210.94] it turned sideways, |
[1211.14 --> 1211.74] coming down, |
[1211.90 --> 1213.22] and then soaked |
[1213.22 --> 1214.60] all the people |
[1214.60 --> 1215.58] on the side of the boat, |
[1215.64 --> 1216.54] not just with water, |
[1216.94 --> 1217.70] but mucus. |
[1218.20 --> 1219.20] They were drenched. |
[1221.04 --> 1221.96] But here's the thing. |
[1222.22 --> 1223.40] Not everyone who was on that boat |
[1223.40 --> 1224.40] had the same experience. |
[1224.84 --> 1225.60] Those below deck |
[1225.60 --> 1226.46] felt the waves. |
[1226.54 --> 1227.66] They knew something was happening. |
[1228.08 --> 1228.90] Those in the middle |
[1228.90 --> 1229.80] were behind glass, |
[1229.88 --> 1230.64] maybe got a photo, |
[1230.76 --> 1231.20] and the people |
[1231.20 --> 1232.08] on the side of the boat, |
[1232.08 --> 1233.52] they got drenched. |
[1234.00 --> 1235.16] And we'll never forget it. |
[1236.78 --> 1237.86] Here's how he relates it |
[1237.86 --> 1238.40] to the Spirit. |
[1239.32 --> 1239.74] He says, |
[1239.88 --> 1241.30] many of us in the church |
[1241.30 --> 1243.48] have a differing relationship |
[1243.48 --> 1244.34] with the person |
[1244.34 --> 1245.14] of the Holy Spirit. |
[1245.36 --> 1246.58] Some of us are below deck. |
[1246.68 --> 1247.04] We're sort of |
[1247.04 --> 1248.04] at a comfortable distance, |
[1248.12 --> 1249.56] and we're not too upset |
[1249.56 --> 1250.06] about that. |
[1250.44 --> 1251.66] Some of us are above deck, |
[1251.70 --> 1252.28] but we're behind |
[1252.28 --> 1253.28] the glass enclosure, |
[1253.48 --> 1253.68] you know, |
[1253.68 --> 1254.66] open but cautious. |
[1255.50 --> 1256.62] And then there are those of us |
[1256.62 --> 1258.08] who have our arms and hands |
[1258.08 --> 1259.94] latched to the side railing, |
[1260.00 --> 1260.50] and we say, |
[1260.50 --> 1262.44] we want to be soaked |
[1262.44 --> 1264.22] in the power |
[1264.22 --> 1265.64] and the presence |
[1265.64 --> 1267.00] of the Holy Spirit. |
[1267.74 --> 1268.98] We're not going below deck. |
[1269.52 --> 1270.30] We're not going to go |
[1270.30 --> 1271.12] behind the glass. |
[1271.50 --> 1272.12] We are waiting |
[1272.12 --> 1273.62] until something happens |
[1273.62 --> 1275.36] because we are expectant |
[1275.36 --> 1276.36] that that whale |
[1276.36 --> 1277.24] is going to show up. |
[1278.38 --> 1279.12] And church, |
[1279.76 --> 1281.90] the whale will show up. |
[1282.44 --> 1283.86] The Spirit has been given |
[1283.86 --> 1284.64] to the church. |
[1285.14 --> 1286.02] And I want to ask you |
[1286.02 --> 1287.28] the hard question perhaps, |
[1287.58 --> 1288.08] and that is, |
[1288.14 --> 1289.00] if you were on the boat |
[1289.00 --> 1290.06] as you imagine yourself |
[1290.06 --> 1290.84] in this story, |
[1291.16 --> 1292.68] where are you on that boat? |
[1294.06 --> 1295.26] I will say honestly |
[1295.26 --> 1296.44] that for the vast majority |
[1296.44 --> 1297.12] of my life, |
[1297.40 --> 1298.78] I was very comfortable |
[1298.78 --> 1300.54] staying below deck. |
[1301.62 --> 1302.82] And I had people in my life |
[1302.82 --> 1303.78] who were very suspicious |
[1303.78 --> 1305.66] of charismatic traditions, |
