  • They were among the plants and the hedges, kinda hid.
  • 00:02:18.452 --> 00:02:20.821
  • And the hedges, kinda hid. and then the other verse
  • 00:02:20.888 --> 00:02:21.889
  • And then the other verse that i wanna share
  • 00:02:21.956 --> 00:02:23.324
  • That i wanna share is in ezekiel 27.
  • 00:02:23.390 --> 00:02:25.459
  • Is in ezekiel 27. "the ancients of gebal
  • 00:02:25.526 --> 00:02:28.762
  • "the ancients of gebal and the wise men thereof
  • 00:02:28.829 --> 00:02:31.532
  • And the wise men thereof were in thee thy caulkers."
  • 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:36.036
  • Were in thee thy caulkers." and then he starts
  • 00:02:36.103 --> 00:02:36.971
  • And then he starts talking about the ships.
  • 00:02:37.037 --> 00:02:39.540
  • Talking about the ships. strange that the bible
  • 00:02:39.607 --> 00:02:41.275
  • Strange that the bible is so detailed.
  • 00:02:41.342 --> 00:02:43.177
  • Is so detailed. it's interesting that
  • 00:02:43.244 --> 00:02:44.545
  • It's interesting that when you read the bible,
  • 00:02:44.612 --> 00:02:46.080
  • When you read the bible, you begin to see the israel
  • 00:02:46.146 --> 00:02:47.715
  • You begin to see the israel when they would move forward
  • 00:02:47.781 --> 00:02:48.983
  • When they would move forward to take the promised land
  • 00:02:49.049 --> 00:02:50.517
  • To take the promised land there were 12 tribes.
  • 00:02:50.584 --> 00:02:51.652
  • There were 12 tribes. and the first tribes
  • 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:52.786
  • And the first tribes that was commanded
  • 00:02:52.853 --> 00:02:53.887
  • That was commanded every time god said an order,
  • 00:02:53.954 --> 00:02:55.756
  • Every time god said an order, and they had to follow
  • 00:02:55.823 --> 00:02:56.657
  • And they had to follow the strict order that
  • 00:02:56.724 --> 00:02:58.092
  • The strict order that when they were moving
  • 00:02:58.158 --> 00:02:58.959
  • When they were moving into new territory
  • 00:02:59.026 --> 00:03:00.728
  • Into new territory it was the tribe of judah
  • 00:03:00.794 --> 00:03:02.596
  • It was the tribe of judah that went first,
  • 00:03:02.663 --> 00:03:03.597
  • That went first, and judah means praise.
  • 00:03:03.664 --> 00:03:05.266
  • And judah means praise. so, when judah goes first --
  • 00:03:05.332 --> 00:03:07.601
  • So, when judah goes first -- when judah goes out
  • 00:03:07.668 --> 00:03:09.003
  • When judah goes out first then victory --
  • 00:03:09.069 --> 00:03:10.337
  • First then victory -- when judah's on the way,
  • 00:03:10.404 --> 00:03:11.672
  • When judah's on the way, victory is on the way.
  • 00:03:11.739 --> 00:03:13.307
  • Victory is on the way. and when judah would go,
  • 00:03:13.374 --> 00:03:14.808
  • And when judah would go, everybody would see that
  • 00:03:14.875 --> 00:03:16.477
  • Everybody would see that they're coming into
  • 00:03:16.543 --> 00:03:17.911
  • They're coming into the promised land
  • 00:03:17.978 --> 00:03:18.846
  • The promised land and they're doing great things.
  • 00:03:18.912 --> 00:03:20.614
  • And they're doing great things. but i've often thought about
  • 00:03:20.681 --> 00:03:22.082
  • But i've often thought about the second, or the third,
  • 00:03:22.149 --> 00:03:23.884
  • The second, or the third, or the fourth tribe.
  • 00:03:23.951 --> 00:03:24.918
  • Or the fourth tribe. but maybe after a few hours,
  • 00:03:24.985 --> 00:03:25.653
  • But maybe after a few hours, after, you know, everybody
  • 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.322
  • After, you know, everybody made a big deal about judah.
  • 00:03:28.389 --> 00:03:29.823
  • Made a big deal about judah. and judah was praised.
  • 00:03:29.890 --> 00:03:31.525
  • And judah was praised. they're the worshippers.
  • 00:03:31.592 --> 00:03:32.593
  • They're the worshippers. they're the singers.
  • 00:03:32.660 --> 00:03:33.527
  • They're the singers. they're the people
  • 00:03:33.594 --> 00:03:34.328
  • They're the people on the platform.
  • 00:03:34.395 --> 00:03:35.496
  • On the platform. they're the people
  • 00:03:35.562 --> 00:03:36.297
  • They're the people that everybody sees.
  • 00:03:36.363 --> 00:03:38.766
  • That everybody sees. but what about that
  • 00:03:38.832 --> 00:03:40.034
  • But what about that pitiful twelfth tribe?
  • 00:03:40.100 --> 00:03:42.469
  • Pitiful twelfth tribe? seven hours later,
  • 00:03:42.536 --> 00:03:44.772
  • Seven hours later, there's only a few people
  • 00:03:44.838 --> 00:03:45.973
  • There's only a few people still clapping,
  • 00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:47.441
  • Still clapping, and they're showing up,
  • 00:03:47.508 --> 00:03:49.009
  • And they're showing up, and it's the tribe of dan.
  • 00:03:49.076 --> 00:03:51.745
  • And it's the tribe of dan. but it's important that
  • 00:03:51.812 --> 00:03:53.914
  • But it's important that somebody has to be
  • 00:03:53.981 --> 00:03:55.082

  • How long has it been since you let the holy spirit touch you?
  • 00:16:25.532 --> 00:16:30.837
  • Let the holy spirit touch you? how long has it been since you
  • 00:16:30.904 --> 00:16:32.439
  • How long has it been since you let him caulk some things that
  • 00:16:32.505 --> 00:16:35.041
  • Let him caulk some things that you've gotten loose with.
  • 00:16:35.108 --> 00:16:37.710
  • You've gotten loose with. it's not a game
  • 00:16:37.777 --> 00:16:38.645
  • It's not a game in times like these.
  • 00:16:38.711 --> 00:16:41.681
  • In times like these. i think about the young
  • 00:16:41.748 --> 00:16:42.615
  • I think about the young couples in this church.
  • 00:16:42.682 --> 00:16:45.985
  • Couples in this church. so many of you are struggling,
  • 00:16:46.052 --> 00:16:48.755
  • So many of you are struggling, just like cherise and i
  • 00:16:48.822 --> 00:16:50.023
  • Just like cherise and i had struggled in our marriage
  • 00:16:50.090 --> 00:16:51.658
  • Had struggled in our marriage from time to time,
  • 00:16:51.724 --> 00:16:53.259
  • From time to time, especially in the younger years,
  • 00:16:53.326 --> 00:16:57.030
  • Especially in the younger years, especially when our family
  • 00:16:57.097 --> 00:16:58.465
  • Especially when our family had something going on,
  • 00:16:58.531 --> 00:17:00.467
  • Had something going on, it brings stress
  • 00:17:00.533 --> 00:17:01.668
  • It brings stress from every direction,
  • 00:17:01.734 --> 00:17:02.769
  • From every direction, or the church and everything
  • 00:17:02.836 --> 00:17:04.637
  • Or the church and everything would seem to hit it
  • 00:17:04.704 --> 00:17:05.738
  • Would seem to hit it once many times.
  • 00:17:05.805 --> 00:17:06.739
  • Once many times. and i can remember
  • 00:17:06.806 --> 00:17:07.907
  • And i can remember not knowing who to turn to,
  • 00:17:07.974 --> 00:17:10.276
  • Not knowing who to turn to, not knowing what to do,
  • 00:17:10.343 --> 00:17:14.514
  • Not knowing what to do, but i can tell you
  • 00:17:14.581 --> 00:17:15.248
  • But i can tell you after 36 years
