Genesis 2:2. "and on the seventh day god
00:00:38.432 --> 00:00:39.867
"and on the seventh day god ended his work, and he rested
00:00:39.934 --> 00:00:41.902

00:00:41.969 --> 00:00:43.170

From all his work." the fact is
00:00:46.207 --> 00:00:48.476
The fact is to the resurrection

It's not a new idea, it didn't start in exodus 20.
00:01:01.088 --> 00:01:03.023
It didn't start in exodus 20. it started immediately
00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:05.860
It started immediately with creation.
00:01:05.926 --> 00:01:07.094

Day of fasting and prayer. do you think anybody
00:09:21.321 --> 00:09:22.489
Do you think anybody in washington would

From america forever because of that prayer.
00:09:42.075 --> 00:09:46.079
Because of that prayer. god is waiting for us to do

00:10:09.703 --> 00:10:10.504
Or break moments in world war ii.
00:10:10.570 --> 00:10:11.838

00:17:43.223 --> 00:17:44.290
You're a slave to work, you're a slave to money,
00:17:44.357 --> 00:17:45.225
You're a slave to money, you're a slave to greed,
