>> look with me in genesis 45.
00:00:40.086 --> 00:00:43.423
>> look with me in genesis 45. i'll begin with
00:00:43.490 --> 00:00:44.124
I'll begin with the famous verse,
00:00:44.190 --> 00:00:45.024
The famous verse, verse 5, "but now,
00:00:45.091 --> 00:00:47.160
Verse 5, "but now, do not therefore be grieved
00:00:47.227 --> 00:00:48.728
Do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves."
00:00:48.795 --> 00:00:50.563
Or angry with yourselves." this is joseph
00:00:50.630 --> 00:00:51.231
This is joseph talking to his brothers.
00:00:51.297 --> 00:00:53.099
Talking to his brothers. "because you sold me here.
00:00:53.166 --> 00:00:55.368
"because you sold me here. for god sent me before you
00:00:55.435 --> 00:00:58.104
For god sent me before you to preserve your life."
00:00:58.171 --> 00:01:02.308
To preserve your life." verse 7, "and god sent me
00:01:02.375 --> 00:01:04.444
Verse 7, "and god sent me before you to preserve
00:01:04.511 --> 00:01:07.180
Before you to preserve a posterity for you
00:01:07.247 --> 00:01:09.816
A posterity for you in the earth,
00:01:09.883 --> 00:01:10.917
In the earth, and to save your lives
00:01:10.984 --> 00:01:12.585
And to save your lives by a great deliverance."
00:01:12.652 --> 00:01:14.187
By a great deliverance." one more time.
00:01:14.254 --> 00:01:15.054
One more time. it says it in verse 11,
00:01:15.121 --> 00:01:16.389
It says it in verse 11, "therefore, i," joseph,
00:01:16.456 --> 00:01:18.591
"therefore, i," joseph, "will provide for you
00:01:18.658 --> 00:01:21.194
"will provide for you and your household
00:01:21.261 --> 00:01:22.795
And your household all you have,
00:01:22.862 --> 00:01:25.031
All you have, come to poverty for that --
00:01:25.098 --> 00:01:27.000
Come to poverty for that -- lest you come to poverty,
00:01:27.066 --> 00:01:28.501
Lest you come to poverty, for there are is still
00:01:28.568 --> 00:01:29.669
For there are is still five years of famine."
00:01:29.736 --> 00:01:33.239
Five years of famine." so, there are four ways
00:01:33.306 --> 00:01:35.441
So, there are four ways that god will provide for us,
00:01:35.508 --> 00:01:38.711
That god will provide for us, and they're found so easily
00:01:38.778 --> 00:01:40.180
And they're found so easily in the scriptures.
00:01:40.246 --> 00:01:41.781
In the scriptures. the first way that
00:01:41.848 --> 00:01:42.615
The first way that god provides for you,
00:01:42.682 --> 00:01:43.950
God provides for you, if you're taking notes,
00:01:44.017 --> 00:01:46.019
If you're taking notes, is through the hand of man.
00:01:46.085 --> 00:01:48.154
Is through the hand of man. that's exactly
00:01:48.221 --> 00:01:49.122
That's exactly what happened in this text.
00:01:49.189 --> 00:01:51.124
What happened in this text. the bible said that joseph
00:01:51.191 --> 00:01:53.426
The bible said that joseph was talking to his brothers
00:01:53.493 --> 00:01:54.961
Was talking to his brothers who had hurt him.
00:01:55.028 --> 00:01:56.296
Who had hurt him. his brothers who had
00:01:56.362 --> 00:01:58.131
His brothers who had thrown him in a pit
00:01:58.198 --> 00:01:59.299
Thrown him in a pit and stolen his birthright.
00:01:59.365 --> 00:02:01.634
And stolen his birthright. and then he turns around
00:02:01.701 --> 00:02:03.403
And then he turns around and he says to them,
00:02:03.469 --> 00:02:05.138
And he says to them, "you meant it for my evil.
00:02:05.205 --> 00:02:06.806
"you meant it for my evil. i'm not bitter.
00:02:06.873 --> 00:02:07.674
I'm not bitter. i'm not offended.
00:02:07.740 --> 00:02:08.875
I'm not offended. i'm not angry.
00:02:08.942 --> 00:02:10.176
I'm not angry. you meant it for my evil.
00:02:10.243 --> 00:02:12.345
You meant it for my evil. but i see how
00:02:12.412 --> 00:02:13.313
But i see how god used what you
00:02:13.379 --> 00:02:15.582
God used what you put me through
00:02:15.648 --> 00:02:16.883
Put me through for my good.
00:02:16.950 --> 00:02:19.185
For my good. i wouldn't be
00:02:19.252 --> 00:02:19.886
I wouldn't be where i am today."
00:02:19.953 --> 00:02:21.020
Where i am today." well, where was he?
00:02:21.087 --> 00:02:22.021
Well, where was he? where was he?
00:02:22.088 --> 00:02:23.156
Where was he? let's talk about that
00:02:23.223 --> 00:02:23.957
Let's talk about that for just one minute.
00:02:24.023 --> 00:02:25.658
For just one minute. he was working,
00:02:25.725 --> 00:02:26.859
He was working, the right-hand man.
00:02:26.926 --> 00:02:28.127
The right-hand man. he was working in egypt.
00:02:28.194 --> 00:02:29.963
He was working in egypt. he was a jew,
00:02:30.029 --> 00:02:31.030
He was a jew, but he was in egypt.
00:02:31.097 --> 00:02:32.899
But he was in egypt. and pharaoh, at that time,
00:02:32.966 --> 00:02:35.168
And pharaoh, at that time, history records,
00:02:35.235 --> 00:02:36.603
History records, was the wealthiest man
00:02:36.669 --> 00:02:38.004
Was the wealthiest man in the world.
00:02:38.071 --> 00:02:38.871
In the world. he owned the most
00:02:38.938 --> 00:02:40.139
He owned the most real estate in the world.
00:02:40.206 --> 00:02:41.441
Real estate in the world. he had the mightiest army
00:02:41.507 --> 00:02:43.076
He had the mightiest army in the world.
00:02:43.142 --> 00:02:44.077
In the world. he was the most
00:02:44.143 --> 00:02:45.445
He was the most powerful pharaoh on the planet,
00:02:45.511 --> 00:02:48.581
Powerful pharaoh on the planet, and guess what he did?
00:02:48.648 --> 00:02:49.749
And guess what he did? he turned the keys
00:02:49.816 --> 00:02:52.051
He turned the keys over of his wealth to a jew.
00:02:52.118 --> 00:02:55.688
Over of his wealth to a jew. this egyptian pharaoh
00:02:55.755 --> 00:02:57.390
This egyptian pharaoh gave the whole kingdom
00:02:57.457 --> 00:02:59.926
Gave the whole kingdom and its wealth to be controlled
00:02:59.993 --> 00:03:03.696
And its wealth to be controlled by this boy named joseph.
00:03:03.763 --> 00:03:06.899
By this boy named joseph. and joseph then in return says
00:03:06.966 --> 00:03:10.103
And joseph then in return says to his own brothers
00:03:10.169 --> 00:03:11.638
To his own brothers who had done him wrong,
00:03:11.704 --> 00:03:13.906
Who had done him wrong, "don't be afraid,
00:03:13.973 --> 00:03:15.608
"don't be afraid, i'm not gonna hurt you
00:03:15.675 --> 00:03:16.909
I'm not gonna hurt you now that i'm on this side
00:03:16.976 --> 00:03:18.344
Now that i'm on this side of the blessing of god.
00:03:18.411 --> 00:03:21.247
Of the blessing of god. the first way that god
00:03:21.314 --> 00:03:22.649
The first way that god will provide
00:03:22.715 --> 00:03:24.484
Will provide is through the hands of men.
00:03:24.550 --> 00:03:25.952
Is through the hands of men. that's why luke 6 says,
00:03:26.019 --> 00:03:27.887
That's why luke 6 says, "give and it shall be
00:03:27.954 --> 00:03:29.689
"give and it shall be given unto you.
00:03:29.756 --> 00:03:31.824
Given unto you. pressed down,
00:03:31.891 --> 00:03:32.992
Pressed down, shaken together,
00:03:33.059 --> 00:03:34.127
Shaken together, running over."
00:03:34.193 --> 00:03:34.727
Running over." and here's the key
00:03:34.794 --> 00:03:35.228
And here's the key to that verse,
00:03:35.295 --> 00:03:36.329
To that verse, "shall men, shall men."
00:03:36.396 --> 00:03:39.999
"shall men, shall men." god says, "i will cause
00:03:40.066 --> 00:03:42.935
God says, "i will cause men to give to you.
00:03:43.002 --> 00:03:45.638
Men to give to you. the same god that takes
00:03:45.705 --> 00:03:47.774
The same god that takes three loaves and two fish
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.876
Three loaves and two fish and multiples it,
00:03:49.942 --> 00:03:51.311
And multiples it, and breaks it, and says,
00:03:51.377 --> 00:03:53.546
And breaks it, and says, "i'll make it exceedingly
00:03:53.613 --> 00:03:55.114
"i'll make it exceedingly abundantly above all
00:03:55.181 --> 00:03:56.783
Abundantly above all you could ask or think."
00:03:56.849 --> 00:03:57.784
You could ask or think." he's your god
00:03:57.850 --> 00:03:59.118
He's your god and the scripture said that,
00:03:59.185 --> 00:04:01.354
And the scripture said that, "he will use men
00:04:01.421 --> 00:04:03.556
"he will use men to give unto you."
00:04:03.623 --> 00:04:05.992
To give unto you." they'll give you jobs,
00:04:06.059 --> 00:04:07.593
They'll give you jobs, they'll open doors for you,
00:04:07.660 --> 00:04:09.162
They'll open doors for you, they'll notice,
00:04:09.228 --> 00:04:11.197
They'll notice, they'll invest in you.
00:04:11.264 --> 00:04:13.166
They'll invest in you. he knows how to cause men
00:04:13.232 --> 00:04:16.169
He knows how to cause men to give unto you.
00:04:16.235 --> 00:04:17.804
To give unto you. secondly, the second way
00:04:17.870 --> 00:04:20.139
Secondly, the second way that god provides
00:04:20.206 --> 00:04:22.041
That god provides is through the hands of god.
00:04:22.108 --> 00:04:27.046
Is through the hands of god. he uses the hands of men
00:04:27.113 --> 00:04:28.648
He uses the hands of men and then there are
00:04:28.715 --> 00:04:29.782
And then there are supernatural blessing.
00:04:29.849 --> 00:04:31.484
Supernatural blessing. let me tell you what i mean.
00:04:31.551 --> 00:04:33.753
Let me tell you what i mean. when joseph took care
00:04:33.820 --> 00:04:35.288
When joseph took care of those families
00:04:35.355 --> 00:04:36.422
Of those families for years and years and years,
00:04:36.489 --> 00:04:38.624
For years and years and years, they were on the blessing train,
00:04:38.691 --> 00:04:40.960
They were on the blessing train, and they didn't have
00:04:41.027 --> 00:04:41.728
And they didn't have to worry about anything.
00:04:41.794 --> 00:04:43.029
To worry about anything. and joseph was the source,
00:04:43.096 --> 00:04:44.797
And joseph was the source, and really pharaoh
00:04:44.864 --> 00:04:46.032
And really pharaoh was the source.
00:04:46.099 --> 00:04:47.266
Was the source. god used the hands of man
00:04:47.333 --> 00:04:49.402
God used the hands of man to take care of 'em.
00:04:49.469 --> 00:04:51.270
To take care of 'em. but the bible said,
00:04:51.337 --> 00:04:52.505
But the bible said, "and there rose another pharaoh
00:04:52.572 --> 00:04:55.508
"and there rose another pharaoh after he died
00:04:55.575 --> 00:04:56.743
After he died that knew not joseph
00:04:56.809 --> 00:04:58.811
That knew not joseph nor his god
00:04:58.878 --> 00:05:01.114
Nor his god and everything changed.
00:05:01.180 --> 00:05:02.915
And everything changed. and suddenly,
00:05:02.982 --> 00:05:03.750
And suddenly, all the resources
00:05:03.816 --> 00:05:05.218
All the resources that they had put
00:05:05.284 --> 00:05:06.285
That they had put their hope and faith in,
00:05:06.352 --> 00:05:07.987
Their hope and faith in, it was taken out of their life."
00:05:08.054 --> 00:05:10.323
It was taken out of their life." now i wanna encourage somebody
00:05:10.390 --> 00:05:11.624
Now i wanna encourage somebody that when you lose a contract,
00:05:11.691 --> 00:05:14.060
That when you lose a contract, when a big financial situation
00:05:14.127 --> 00:05:17.430
When a big financial situation walks out of your life,
00:05:17.497 --> 00:05:18.798
Walks out of your life, it's a teaching moment
00:05:18.865 --> 00:05:20.967
It's a teaching moment that you need
00:05:21.033 --> 00:05:21.667
That you need to learn this point.
00:05:21.734 --> 00:05:22.535
To learn this point. god uses man's hands,
00:05:22.602 --> 00:05:23.836
God uses man's hands, but god is real touchy about
00:05:23.903 --> 00:05:26.539
But god is real touchy about when you start looking
00:05:26.606 --> 00:05:27.874
When you start looking to anybody more than him
00:05:27.940 --> 00:05:30.176
To anybody more than him as your source.
00:05:30.243 --> 00:05:31.978
As your source. be thankful for where you are
00:05:32.044 --> 00:05:33.713
Be thankful for where you are and begin to praise god
00:05:33.780 --> 00:05:35.148
And begin to praise god for what he's already
00:05:35.214 --> 00:05:36.482
For what he's already given you.
00:05:36.549 --> 00:05:36.916
Given you. he's got more
00:05:36.983 --> 00:05:37.750
He's got more and he'll bless you
00:05:37.817 --> 00:05:39.218
And he'll bless you if you'll obey him
00:05:39.285 --> 00:05:40.420
If you'll obey him and you'll honor him.
00:05:40.486 --> 00:05:41.587
And you'll honor him. i want you to put
00:05:41.654 --> 00:05:42.255

Your hands together and i want you
00:05:43.055 --> 00:05:43.623
And i want you to thank the lord
00:05:43.689 --> 00:05:44.857
To thank the lord for all that god's hand
00:05:44.924 --> 00:05:48.361
For all that god's hand has provided.
00:05:48.428 --> 00:05:49.529
Has provided. [applause]
00:05:49.595 --> 00:05:50.062
[applause] that old song,
00:05:50.129 --> 00:05:50.863

And god gave me this when i didn't --
00:06:20.259 --> 00:06:20.960
When i didn't -- i didn't see
00:06:21.027 --> 00:06:21.627
I didn't see all the stuff that i see now.
00:06:21.694 --> 00:06:24.363
All the stuff that i see now. but i've seen the hand of man.
00:06:24.430 --> 00:06:26.833
But i've seen the hand of man. i've actually had people
00:06:26.899 --> 00:06:27.667
I've actually had people come up to me and say,
00:06:27.733 --> 00:06:29.101
Come up to me and say, "i don't know why
00:06:29.168 --> 00:06:30.002
"i don't know why i'm doing this, here."
00:06:30.069 --> 00:06:34.507

They didn't like me. [laughter]
00:06:36.175 --> 00:06:37.510

But to me it's a miracle. even the building
00:06:46.919 --> 00:06:47.587
Even the building you're sitting in,
00:06:47.653 --> 00:06:48.554
You're sitting in, that nice cushioned seat
00:06:48.621 --> 00:06:50.323
That nice cushioned seat it's a miracle to me.
00:06:50.389 --> 00:06:51.824
It's a miracle to me. it's more than just a seat.
00:06:51.891 --> 00:06:53.459
It's more than just a seat. we didn't have any of it,
00:06:53.526 --> 00:06:55.027
We didn't have any of it, but it came from

But it came from the hand of god.
00:06:56.529 --> 00:06:58.331
The hand of god. i don't know how it happened.

It's nothing but the provision from the hand of god.
00:07:04.837 --> 00:07:05.838
From the hand of god. and if he'll do it for me,

And let it kick you, you get up and stand up
00:07:16.849 --> 00:07:18.284
You get up and stand up on your hind feet and say,
00:07:18.351 --> 00:07:20.353
On your hind feet and say, "my god will supply

Man will try to block you out, but god says, "where i bless,

But god says, "where i bless, and my hand blesses,

And my hand blesses, nobody can push it down
00:08:03.663 --> 00:08:05.431

You better give god the thanks. and then he'll bless

You're scared you'll have to get one.
00:09:00.920 --> 00:09:05.157
Have to get one. but in joshua 5:12 it said,
00:09:05.224 --> 00:09:08.294
But in joshua 5:12 it said, "when they crossed over jordan,"
00:09:08.361 --> 00:09:09.996
"when they crossed over jordan," i mean, all those years,
00:09:10.062 --> 00:09:11.330
I mean, all those years, the hand of god
00:09:11.397 --> 00:09:12.365
The hand of god gave them manna for 40 years.
00:09:12.431 --> 00:09:14.500
Gave them manna for 40 years. the hand of god
00:09:14.567 --> 00:09:15.001
The hand of god did the miracle.
00:09:15.067 --> 00:09:16.869
Did the miracle. but then there comes
00:09:16.936 --> 00:09:19.939
But then there comes a new season where god says,
00:09:20.006 --> 00:09:22.208
A new season where god says, "i don't want you
00:09:22.274 --> 00:09:23.142
"i don't want you living by miracles
00:09:23.209 --> 00:09:25.778
Living by miracles all the time.
00:09:25.845 --> 00:09:27.647
All the time. i don't want you in 911 calls.
00:09:27.713 --> 00:09:31.784
I don't want you in 911 calls. 'help god, help, help,
00:09:31.851 --> 00:09:33.119
'help god, help, help, we're gonna lose the house,
00:09:33.185 --> 00:09:33.819
We're gonna lose the house, we're gonna lose the car.'"
00:09:33.886 --> 00:09:34.820
We're gonna lose the car.'" god will give you miracles.
00:09:34.887 --> 00:09:36.889
God will give you miracles. not -- i'm not --
00:09:36.956 --> 00:09:37.990
Not -- i'm not -- there's nothing wrong
00:09:38.057 --> 00:09:38.658
There's nothing wrong with being --
00:09:38.724 --> 00:09:39.425
With being -- i've been there.
00:09:39.492 --> 00:09:40.459
I've been there. i know what you're talking about
00:09:40.526 --> 00:09:42.428
I know what you're talking about but there's nothing
00:09:42.495 --> 00:09:44.630
But there's nothing wrong with having needs.
00:09:44.697 --> 00:09:47.700
Wrong with having needs. but there's a greater plan
00:09:47.767 --> 00:09:48.934
But there's a greater plan god has than just struggle
00:09:49.001 --> 00:09:51.037
God has than just struggle and scratching and scraping by.
00:09:51.103 --> 00:09:54.607
And scratching and scraping by. and by your own hand --
00:09:54.674 --> 00:09:55.741
And by your own hand -- "what do you mean?"
00:09:55.808 --> 00:09:57.810
"what do you mean?" the bible said,
00:09:57.877 --> 00:09:58.411
The bible said, "the manna ceased."
00:09:58.477 --> 00:09:59.278
"the manna ceased." and god said something to 'em
00:09:59.345 --> 00:10:00.980
And god said something to 'em in deuteronomy 11:9.
00:10:01.047 --> 00:10:03.616
In deuteronomy 11:9. he said, "the land
00:10:03.683 --> 00:10:04.450
He said, "the land that i'm taking to you --
00:10:04.517 --> 00:10:05.685
That i'm taking to you -- you to is flowing with
00:10:05.751 --> 00:10:06.585
You to is flowing with milk and honey,
00:10:06.652 --> 00:10:07.386
Milk and honey, for the land that you possess
00:10:07.453 --> 00:10:09.555
For the land that you possess is not like the land of egypt
00:10:09.622 --> 00:10:12.158
Is not like the land of egypt from which you've come,
00:10:12.224 --> 00:10:13.325
From which you've come, where you sowed your seed,
00:10:13.392 --> 00:10:14.560
Where you sowed your seed, and watered it by foot
00:10:14.627 --> 00:10:17.363
And watered it by foot as a watered garden."
00:10:17.430 --> 00:10:21.934
As a watered garden." you see, when they
00:10:22.001 --> 00:10:22.768
You see, when they were in egypt,
00:10:22.835 --> 00:10:24.503
Were in egypt, the land was so dry
00:10:24.570 --> 00:10:28.407
The land was so dry and parched that they had
00:10:28.474 --> 00:10:29.508
And parched that they had to pipe water
00:10:29.575 --> 00:10:30.876
To pipe water from the nile river
00:10:30.943 --> 00:10:32.445
From the nile river and the only way
00:10:32.511 --> 00:10:33.512
And the only way they could do that
00:10:33.579 --> 00:10:34.280
They could do that was with foot pumps.
00:10:34.346 --> 00:10:37.016
Was with foot pumps. and they had to have people out
00:10:37.083 --> 00:10:38.484
And they had to have people out there 24 hours a day
00:10:38.551 --> 00:10:40.052
There 24 hours a day and they would work so hard,
00:10:40.119 --> 00:10:42.188
And they would work so hard, go, go, foot pump.
00:10:42.254 --> 00:10:44.356
Go, go, foot pump. and the water would
00:10:44.423 --> 00:10:45.424
And the water would just a little bit,
00:10:45.491 --> 00:10:47.159
Just a little bit, just a little bit,
00:10:47.226 --> 00:10:47.893
Just a little bit, just enough, just enough
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:49.895
Just enough, just enough to keep the crops alive.
00:10:49.962 --> 00:10:53.199
To keep the crops alive. but god said,
00:10:53.265 --> 00:10:55.768
But god said, "i don't want you,
00:10:55.835 --> 00:10:56.969
"i don't want you, for the rest of your life,
00:10:57.036 --> 00:11:01.340
For the rest of your life, to just depend on getting by.
00:11:01.407 --> 00:11:05.778
To just depend on getting by. the hand of man,
00:11:05.845 --> 00:11:06.812
The hand of man, the hand of god,
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:07.947
The hand of god, but i will bless
00:11:08.013 --> 00:11:09.515
But i will bless your hand of labor.
00:11:09.582 --> 00:11:13.285
Your hand of labor. and the land that i'm

Taking you to you're moving

You're moving from a foot pump mentality
00:11:17.123 --> 00:11:20.359
From a foot pump mentality to a land flowing
00:11:20.426 --> 00:11:23.129
To a land flowing with milk and honey."
00:11:23.195 --> 00:11:26.899
With milk and honey." but i'll need you to believe,
00:11:26.966 --> 00:11:28.267
But i'll need you to believe, and i need you to use
00:11:28.334 --> 00:11:29.502
And i need you to use the work of your own hands."
00:11:29.568 --> 00:11:31.504
The work of your own hands." you are gifted at something.
00:11:31.570 --> 00:11:37.076
You are gifted at something. god says, "i will not
00:11:37.143 --> 00:11:38.544
God says, "i will not do for you.
00:11:38.611 --> 00:11:41.614
Do for you. i won't do it for you.
00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:43.983
I won't do it for you. you have to find
00:11:44.049 --> 00:11:44.850
You have to find your own gift
00:11:44.917 --> 00:11:46.752
Your own gift and figure out
00:11:46.819 --> 00:11:47.586

00:11:50.923 --> 00:11:52.725
A bible in one hand and a saxophone in the other.
00:11:52.792 --> 00:11:58.030

Preach a good sermon, i had my saxophone on standby
00:12:08.974 --> 00:12:12.545

00:12:13.212 --> 00:12:15.047

The last way that god blesses us --
00:13:38.631 --> 00:13:39.899
God blesses us -- and i wrote this,
00:13:39.965 --> 00:13:40.566
And i wrote this, and i didn't know
00:13:40.633 --> 00:13:41.233
And i didn't know what i was saying,
00:13:41.300 --> 00:13:41.734
What i was saying, and i didn't even know
00:13:41.800 --> 00:13:42.468
And i didn't even know what i was talking about,
00:13:42.534 --> 00:13:44.470
What i was talking about, it's through the hand
00:13:44.536 --> 00:13:44.970
It's through the hand of your enemy.
00:13:45.037 --> 00:13:46.472
Of your enemy. [applause]
00:13:46.538 --> 00:13:50.476

I know that's kind of how i felt, you know,
00:13:51.110 --> 00:13:52.478
Of how i felt, you know, when i wrote it, i thought,
00:13:52.544 --> 00:13:53.579
When i wrote it, i thought, "that's good."
00:13:53.646 --> 00:13:57.182
"that's good." 'cause i had some, you know,
00:13:57.249 --> 00:13:58.017
'cause i had some, you know, i had some people
00:13:58.083 --> 00:13:58.784
I had some people who didn't like me,
00:13:58.851 --> 00:13:59.885
Who didn't like me, talked about me and all that.
00:13:59.952 --> 00:14:01.287
Talked about me and all that. that's not an enemy.
00:14:01.353 --> 00:14:03.656
That's not an enemy. that's not --
00:14:03.722 --> 00:14:04.189
That's not -- you don't understand.
00:14:04.256 --> 00:14:07.893
You don't understand. but there will come --
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:09.561
But there will come -- the bigger your assignment,
00:14:09.628 --> 00:14:12.031
The bigger your assignment, there will come true enemies
00:14:12.097 --> 00:14:14.066
There will come true enemies that are sent
00:14:14.133 --> 00:14:15.935
That are sent to kill, steal,
00:14:16.001 --> 00:14:16.702
To kill, steal, and destroy
00:14:16.769 --> 00:14:19.071
And destroy every way they can.
00:14:19.138 --> 00:14:23.509
Every way they can. but god says in numbers 14:9,
00:14:23.575 --> 00:14:30.215
But god says in numbers 14:9, "do not rebel against
00:14:30.282 --> 00:14:31.383
"do not rebel against the lord.
00:14:31.450 --> 00:14:32.618
The lord. don't fear the people
00:14:32.685 --> 00:14:33.118
Don't fear the people of the land."
00:14:33.185 --> 00:14:33.886
Of the land." they're about to go
00:14:33.953 --> 00:14:34.520
They're about to go into the promised land.
00:14:34.586 --> 00:14:37.289
Into the promised land. the people of the land
00:14:37.356 --> 00:14:38.524
The people of the land were giants,
00:14:38.590 --> 00:14:39.325
Were giants, and they were
00:14:39.391 --> 00:14:40.025
And they were freaked out about 'em.
00:14:40.092 --> 00:14:41.126
Freaked out about 'em. and listen to what he says,
00:14:41.193 --> 00:14:42.194
And listen to what he says, "for they are our bread."
00:14:42.261 --> 00:14:44.063
"for they are our bread." they're bread for us.
00:14:44.129 --> 00:14:46.565
They're bread for us. your enemies are bread for you.
00:14:46.632 --> 00:14:50.836
Your enemies are bread for you. god said in psalms 23,
00:14:50.903 --> 00:14:54.106
God said in psalms 23, "i can't even give you
00:14:54.173 --> 00:14:55.074
"i can't even give you my best banquet
00:14:55.140 --> 00:14:56.008
My best banquet unless you got some enemies
00:14:56.075 --> 00:14:57.409
Unless you got some enemies because i've prepared
00:14:57.476 --> 00:14:58.410
Because i've prepared my best blessings in
00:14:58.477 --> 00:15:00.012
My best blessings in the presence of your enemies."
00:15:00.079 --> 00:15:01.547
The presence of your enemies." [applause]
00:15:01.613 --> 00:15:02.548
[applause] i'll prepare a table before you.
00:15:02.614 --> 00:15:06.318
I'll prepare a table before you. not when you got
00:15:06.385 --> 00:15:07.486
Not when you got everybody loving you,
00:15:07.553 --> 00:15:09.021
Everybody loving you, but when you're going through
00:15:09.088 --> 00:15:09.722
But when you're going through your darkest storms.
00:15:09.788 --> 00:15:11.623
Your darkest storms. when your heart is heavy,
00:15:11.690 --> 00:15:13.659
When your heart is heavy, and you feel like quitting."
00:15:13.726 --> 00:15:16.862
And you feel like quitting." listen to this.
00:15:16.929 --> 00:15:19.298
Listen to this. i wrote this when i didn't --
00:15:19.365 --> 00:15:20.699
I wrote this when i didn't -- i don't even know
00:15:20.766 --> 00:15:21.400
I don't even know where i got it from.
00:15:21.467 --> 00:15:22.201
Where i got it from. i can't remember.
00:15:22.267 --> 00:15:24.937
I can't remember. maybe the lord gave it to me.
00:15:25.004 --> 00:15:26.305
Maybe the lord gave it to me. i don't know.
00:15:26.372 --> 00:15:28.807
I don't know. the level of your attack
00:15:28.874 --> 00:15:30.876
The level of your attack will tell you two things,
00:15:30.943 --> 00:15:32.644
Will tell you two things, number one,
00:15:32.711 --> 00:15:34.847
Number one, how valuable you are
00:15:34.913 --> 00:15:36.548
How valuable you are to god in your assignment.
00:15:36.615 --> 00:15:39.551
To god in your assignment. if you're going through
00:15:39.618 --> 00:15:40.285
If you're going through a huge attack,
00:15:40.352 --> 00:15:42.788
A huge attack, it's because you have
00:15:42.855 --> 00:15:43.889
It's because you have an assignment.
00:15:43.956 --> 00:15:46.425
An assignment. i wish somebody
00:15:46.492 --> 00:15:46.792
I wish somebody had ought to ta --
00:15:46.859 --> 00:15:47.393
Had ought to ta -- i wish i had listened
00:15:47.459 --> 00:15:48.160
I wish i had listened to my own preaching.
00:15:48.227 --> 00:15:51.764
To my own preaching. if you've got a huge assignment,
00:15:51.830 --> 00:15:54.233
If you've got a huge assignment, it will be matched by
00:15:54.299 --> 00:15:55.467
It will be matched by a huge attack.
00:15:55.534 --> 00:15:58.670
A huge attack. secondly, the level
00:15:58.737 --> 00:16:00.839
Secondly, the level of your attack
00:16:00.906 --> 00:16:02.608
Of your attack will tell you
00:16:02.674 --> 00:16:04.476
Will tell you the level of blessing
00:16:04.543 --> 00:16:06.078
The level of blessing that is waiting for you
00:16:06.145 --> 00:16:07.980
That is waiting for you on the other side
00:16:08.047 --> 00:16:09.048
On the other side of this attack.
00:16:09.114 --> 00:16:10.783
Of this attack. [cheering and applause]
00:16:10.849 --> 00:16:15.421
I need you to shout
00:16:15.687 --> 00:16:16.989
I need you to shout if you made it through the fire,
00:16:17.056 --> 00:16:19.458
If you made it through the fire, if you've ever made it
00:16:19.525 --> 00:16:20.325
If you've ever made it through the flood.
00:16:20.392 --> 00:16:22.161
Through the flood. won't he do it?
00:16:22.227 --> 00:16:23.529
Won't he do it?
00:16:23.629 --> 00:16:24.730
Won't he do it? just -- every voice told you,
00:16:24.797 --> 00:16:27.566
Just -- every voice told you, "you couldn't do it."
00:16:27.633 --> 00:16:28.534
"you couldn't do it." every voice told you,
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.735
Every voice told you, "give up."
00:16:29.802 --> 00:16:30.502
"give up." every voice told you,
00:16:30.569 --> 00:16:32.304
Every voice told you, "you're not good enough.
00:16:32.371 --> 00:16:33.605
"you're not good enough. you're not strong enough.
00:16:33.672 --> 00:16:34.673
You're not strong enough. you're not big enough.
00:16:34.740 --> 00:16:35.707
You're not big enough. you are crazy."
00:16:35.774 --> 00:16:37.943
But when you go through the fire
00:16:38.043 --> 00:16:41.013
But when you go through the fire and you still believe,
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:44.583
And you still believe, you go through the flood,
00:16:44.650 --> 00:16:47.186
You go through the flood, and they don't overtake you,
00:16:47.252 --> 00:16:48.487
And they don't overtake you, but it gets right up
00:16:48.554 --> 00:16:49.221
But it gets right up to your nostrils.
00:16:49.288 --> 00:16:52.591
To your nostrils. but that's the people,
00:16:52.658 --> 00:16:53.125
But that's the people, you don't understand,
00:16:53.192 --> 00:16:53.926
You don't understand, that's the process.
00:16:53.992 --> 00:16:56.228
That's the process. i don't ever talk to anybody
00:16:56.295 --> 00:16:57.229
I don't ever talk to anybody who's done much with their life
00:16:57.296 --> 00:16:59.031
Who's done much with their life that they haven't had
00:16:59.098 --> 00:17:00.632
That they haven't had that season
00:17:00.699 --> 00:17:01.433
That season where it almost took 'em out.
00:17:01.500 --> 00:17:04.470
But i see all of these
00:17:07.773 --> 00:17:08.707
But i see all of these young couples and young people.
00:17:08.774 --> 00:17:10.476
Young couples and young people. if you're 40 and under --

00:23:32.624 --> 00:23:33.692
Just 30 minutes
00:23:33.792 --> 00:23:34.493
From the sea of galilee
00:23:34.593 --> 00:23:35.760
To fortified schools,
00:23:35.861 --> 00:23:37.529
Bomb shelters and fire stations
00:23:37.629 --> 00:23:39.264
In the eshkol region.
00:23:39.364 --> 00:23:41.366
When october 7th attack struck,
00:23:41.466 --> 00:23:43.869
These projects saved
00:23:43.969 --> 00:23:45.403
Countless lives.
00:23:45.504 --> 00:23:46.638
>> i still remember it
00:23:48.306 --> 00:23:49.007
>> i still remember it like it was yesterday.
00:23:49.074 --> 00:23:49.975
Like it was yesterday. picking up my little baby
00:23:50.041 --> 00:23:51.109
Picking up my little baby and running to the safe room,
00:23:51.176 --> 00:23:53.211
And running to the safe room, feeling like any second
00:23:53.278 --> 00:23:54.412
Feeling like any second a rocket's gonna fall on us.
00:23:54.479 --> 00:23:56.515
A rocket's gonna fall on us. it's a sound that i can still
00:23:56.581 --> 00:23:58.917
Close my eyes and i hear it,
00:23:59.017 --> 00:24:00.819
Close my eyes and i hear it, in my sleep -- you don't
00:24:00.886 --> 00:24:03.688
In my sleep -- you don't forget something like this.
00:24:03.755 --> 00:24:05.390
Hovering over her
00:24:05.490 --> 00:24:06.291
Hovering over her in the safe room
00:24:06.358 --> 00:24:07.092
In the safe room and just feeling like
00:24:07.158 --> 00:24:08.360
And just feeling like any second something
00:24:08.426 --> 00:24:09.261
Any second something is gonna happen.
00:24:09.327 --> 00:24:11.463
Is gonna happen. but having that reassurance
00:24:11.530 --> 00:24:12.564
But having that reassurance that we have that safe room --
00:24:12.631 --> 00:24:14.232
That we have that safe room -- i mean, a rocket fall
00:24:14.299 --> 00:24:15.367
I mean, a rocket fall right outside of our house
00:24:15.433 --> 00:24:16.701
Right outside of our house and the shrapnel destroyed
00:24:16.768 --> 00:24:18.670
And the shrapnel destroyed many things that
00:24:18.737 --> 00:24:19.271
Many things that were in our room,
00:24:19.337 --> 00:24:19.971
Were in our room, the place that
00:24:20.038 --> 00:24:20.472
The place that we just ran from.
00:24:20.539 --> 00:24:22.807
We just ran from. if it wasn't for
00:24:22.874 --> 00:24:23.775
If it wasn't for pastor jentezen franklin,
00:24:23.842 --> 00:24:26.177
Pastor jentezen franklin, we, our whole community
00:24:26.244 --> 00:24:28.613
We, our whole community wouldn't come back.
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:29.981
