0:00.0	Have you ever been in a situation where you've tried to ignore the voice of God and the word of God?
0:09.2	You see, most Christians do not deliberately, openly, defiantly, disobey God.
0:17.7	There are some who do, but there are very few.
0:22.0	There are very few who would say, God, I know what you want me to do, and I'm not going to do it. There are some who do, but there are very few. There are very few who would say,
0:25.3	God, I know what you want me to do, and I'm not going to do it. There are very few of those.
0:31.0	I think most Christians basically turn a deaf ear to what God is saying to them, if they don't like what God is saying. Most Christians pretend they're not hearing God even though

1:59.8	And God has been sending you one signal after another, one prodding after another, one voice
