In the bible. the multiplication.

The multiplication. the seed was in the tree.

Whose seed is in itself. god put in the first tree
00:02:29.053 --> 00:02:31.589

00:02:31.655 --> 00:02:33.023
The seed -- in the first birds,
00:02:33.090 --> 00:02:34.959

The seed was placed inside. and that's why god said
00:02:45.803 --> 00:02:47.071
And that's why god said at the end of it,
00:02:47.137 --> 00:02:49.173
At the end of it, "and it is good."
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.508
"and it is good." the reason that it's
00:02:51.575 --> 00:02:52.376

00:02:52.443 --> 00:02:54.345
Good is because god loves multiplication.
00:02:54.411 --> 00:02:57.047

He placed within it the potential to multiply.
00:03:03.454 --> 00:03:08.192
The potential to multiply. he said it's good because
00:03:08.259 --> 00:03:10.094
He said it's good because the first blessing in the bible
00:03:10.160 --> 00:03:12.096
The first blessing in the bible was a multiplication blessing
00:03:12.162 --> 00:03:14.565
Was a multiplication blessing and god said to them,

And god said to them, the fish that he
00:03:18.302 --> 00:03:19.837
The fish that he put in the water,
00:03:19.903 --> 00:03:21.572
Put in the water, maybe just two,
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.974
Maybe just two, and the birds that
00:03:24.041 --> 00:03:25.109
And the birds that he put in the sky,
00:03:25.175 --> 00:03:27.211
He put in the sky, whose seed is in itself,
00:03:27.278 --> 00:03:29.880
Whose seed is in itself, and he spoke out of his mouth,
00:03:29.947 --> 00:03:33.317

00:03:36.587 --> 00:03:39.523
Everything that he created. because god

Greater than what we start with. genesis 1:22 said that he talked
00:03:54.338 --> 00:03:58.909
Genesis 1:22 said that he talked to the birds and the fish,
00:03:58.976 --> 00:04:01.278
To the birds and the fish, that the original ones
00:04:01.345 --> 00:04:02.946
That the original ones that he created,
00:04:03.013 --> 00:04:04.348
That he created, and he said to them,
00:04:04.415 --> 00:04:05.516
And he said to them, "be fruitful and multiply."
00:04:05.582 --> 00:04:08.319
"be fruitful and multiply." when the concept
00:04:08.385 --> 00:04:10.487
When the concept of the blessing,
00:04:10.554 --> 00:04:12.222
Of the blessing, this is the concept
00:04:12.289 --> 00:04:13.757
This is the concept of a blessing being
00:04:13.824 --> 00:04:16.126
Of a blessing being transferred into the earth.
00:04:16.193 --> 00:04:18.529
Transferred into the earth. when it first was conceived in
00:04:18.595 --> 00:04:20.731
When it first was conceived in god's mind and first introduced,
00:04:20.798 --> 00:04:23.534
God's mind and first introduced, it came as a
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.036

00:04:26.103 --> 00:04:28.005
Multiplication blessing. that's how important
00:04:28.072 --> 00:04:29.039
That's how important multiplication is to god.
00:04:29.106 --> 00:04:30.474
Multiplication is to god. that we not be fruitless,
00:04:30.541 --> 00:04:32.910
That we not be fruitless, that we not get stagnant
00:04:32.976 --> 00:04:35.479
That we not get stagnant and become stale.
00:04:35.546 --> 00:04:37.181
And become stale. but god's dream for us,
00:04:37.247 --> 00:04:39.850
But god's dream for us, as he says it as
00:04:39.917 --> 00:04:41.185
As he says it as the first blessing he

00:04:42.853 --> 00:04:45.222
Ever put on his creation. and by the way,
00:04:45.289 --> 00:04:46.190
And by the way, when adam and eve were made,
00:04:46.256 --> 00:04:48.125
When adam and eve were made, he said the same
00:04:48.192 --> 00:04:48.759
He said the same blessing over them.
00:04:48.826 --> 00:04:49.993
Blessing over them. he blessed them and said,
00:04:50.060 --> 00:04:51.462
He blessed them and said, "be fruitful and multiply."
00:04:51.528 --> 00:04:54.698
"be fruitful and multiply." god says,
00:04:54.765 --> 00:04:55.432
God says, "i want my people to multiply."
00:04:55.499 --> 00:04:59.903
"i want my people to multiply." when it comes to that blessing,
00:04:59.970 --> 00:05:01.605
When it comes to that blessing, it is the will of god
00:05:01.672 --> 00:05:03.607

For your business to multiply. it's the will of god

For everything that you're involved in
00:05:26.463 --> 00:05:27.664
You're involved in to become greater.
00:05:27.731 --> 00:05:30.100
To become greater. the problem is five
00:05:30.167 --> 00:05:31.368
The problem is five times zero is zero.
00:05:31.435 --> 00:05:34.338
Times zero is zero. a thousand times zero is zero.
00:05:34.405 --> 00:05:37.975
A thousand times zero is zero. but god said,
00:05:38.041 --> 00:05:38.776
But god said, "i placed within everything
00:05:38.842 --> 00:05:42.179
"i placed within everything i create,
00:05:42.246 --> 00:05:43.914
I create, the desire for multiplication."
00:05:43.981 --> 00:05:47.017
The desire for multiplication." something in you says,
00:05:47.084 --> 00:05:49.453
Something in you says, "i was born for more."
00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:51.622
"i was born for more." something in you desires
00:05:51.688 --> 00:05:54.091
Something in you desires to see more come out that you

To see more come out that you feel that you could potentially
00:05:57.194 --> 00:06:00.998
Feel that you could potentially express in a powerful way.
00:06:01.064 --> 00:06:04.668

And our peace, and our joy.

And our joy. that god says faith
00:06:14.978 --> 00:06:16.713
That god says faith is the substance
00:06:16.780 --> 00:06:17.714
Is the substance of things hoped for,
00:06:17.781 --> 00:06:19.249
Of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
00:06:19.316 --> 00:06:22.152
The evidence of things not seen. and that's the powerful

And that's the powerful thing about multiplication.

Thing about multiplication. the tree will multiply
00:06:26.023 --> 00:06:28.192
The tree will multiply from the inside out.
00:06:28.258 --> 00:06:30.961
From the inside out. the church will multiply
00:06:31.028 --> 00:06:32.763
The church will multiply from the inside out.
00:06:32.830 --> 00:06:35.265
From the inside out. it's not based upon
00:06:35.332 --> 00:06:36.800
It's not based upon what the world does.
00:06:36.867 --> 00:06:38.402
What the world does. and when you let god take what
00:06:38.469 --> 00:06:42.306
And when you let god take what he put in you
00:06:42.372 --> 00:06:43.674
He put in you and turn it out,
00:06:43.740 --> 00:06:45.476
And turn it out, then suddenly,
00:06:45.542 --> 00:06:47.010

00:06:49.947 --> 00:06:50.948
We're always looking for the miracle to come
00:06:51.014 --> 00:06:52.349
For the miracle to come from the outside.
00:06:52.416 --> 00:06:54.751
From the outside. and in 2 kings 4,
00:06:54.818 --> 00:06:56.320
And in 2 kings 4, there was a woman who
00:06:56.386 --> 00:06:57.221
There was a woman who was in such debt that
00:06:57.287 --> 00:06:58.622
Was in such debt that her sons were being taken away
00:06:58.689 --> 00:07:01.158
Her sons were being taken away to serve time to pay
00:07:01.225 --> 00:07:03.360
To serve time to pay off the debt.
00:07:03.427 --> 00:07:05.229
Off the debt. and the prophet showed up at her
00:07:05.295 --> 00:07:06.630
And the prophet showed up at her house right before they
00:07:06.697 --> 00:07:07.898
House right before they were taken in chains.
00:07:07.965 --> 00:07:09.766
Were taken in chains. and he said,
00:07:09.833 --> 00:07:11.468
And he said, "what do you have in the house?"
00:07:11.535 --> 00:07:14.738
"what do you have in the house?" i'm sure she was sitting
00:07:14.805 --> 00:07:15.939
I'm sure she was sitting in that house thinking,
00:07:16.006 --> 00:07:17.007
In that house thinking, "if somebody outside
00:07:17.074 --> 00:07:18.375
"if somebody outside would just come,
00:07:18.442 --> 00:07:19.743
Would just come, some rich person,
00:07:19.810 --> 00:07:20.978
Some rich person, and pay my bill,
00:07:21.044 --> 00:07:22.279
And pay my bill, i wouldn't lose my sons
00:07:22.346 --> 00:07:24.448
I wouldn't lose my sons into having to be slaves
00:07:24.515 --> 00:07:27.551
Into having to be slaves to pay off this debt."
00:07:27.618 --> 00:07:29.553
To pay off this debt." but the prophet
00:07:29.620 --> 00:07:30.587
But the prophet didn't ask her about,
00:07:30.654 --> 00:07:31.822
Didn't ask her about, "who do you know outside?
00:07:31.889 --> 00:07:33.490
"who do you know outside? what do you have in the house?"
00:07:33.557 --> 00:07:36.760
What do you have in the house?" and she said,
00:07:36.827 --> 00:07:37.961
And she said, "all that i have is
00:07:38.028 --> 00:07:39.096
"all that i have is a little pot of oil."
00:07:39.162 --> 00:07:41.231
A little pot of oil." and the prophet said,
00:07:41.298 --> 00:07:42.499
And the prophet said, "get ready because god
00:07:42.566 --> 00:07:45.269
"get ready because god is gonna multiply what you have
00:07:45.335 --> 00:07:48.238
Is gonna multiply what you have on the inside.
00:07:48.305 --> 00:07:49.907
On the inside. he's not gonna bless
00:07:49.973 --> 00:07:51.775
He's not gonna bless you out there,
00:07:51.842 --> 00:07:53.343
You out there, he's gonna start it right where
00:07:53.410 --> 00:07:55.812
He's gonna start it right where you are when you use what
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:57.848
You are when you use what you've got."
00:07:57.915 --> 00:07:58.482
You've got." and then he gave
00:07:58.549 --> 00:07:58.982
And then he gave another commandment.
00:07:59.049 --> 00:07:59.716
Another commandment. he said,
00:07:59.783 --> 00:08:00.350
He said, "go borrow vessels
00:08:00.417 --> 00:08:02.286
"go borrow vessels and borrow not a few."
00:08:02.352 --> 00:08:03.987
And borrow not a few." he said,
00:08:04.054 --> 00:08:04.388
He said, "i want you to go
00:08:04.454 --> 00:08:05.255
"i want you to go to every neighbor,
00:08:05.322 --> 00:08:06.456
To every neighbor, i want you to go
00:08:06.523 --> 00:08:07.491
I want you to go to every relative,
00:08:07.558 --> 00:08:09.059
To every relative, i want your boys to go all
00:08:09.126 --> 00:08:10.527
I want your boys to go all over the neighborhood
00:08:10.594 --> 00:08:11.695
Over the neighborhood and community,
00:08:11.762 --> 00:08:12.296
And community, i want you to bring 20, 30, 50,
00:08:12.362 --> 00:08:14.531
I want you to bring 20, 30, 50, as many as you can get.
00:08:14.598 --> 00:08:16.066
As many as you can get. get so many vessels in the house
00:08:16.133 --> 00:08:18.068
Get so many vessels in the house and set 'em out,
00:08:18.135 --> 00:08:19.036
And set 'em out, set 'em on tables,
00:08:19.102 --> 00:08:20.103
Set 'em on tables, set 'em on the floor,
00:08:20.170 --> 00:08:21.104
Set 'em on the floor, set 'em in front
00:08:21.171 --> 00:08:21.905
Set 'em in front of the fireplace,
00:08:21.972 --> 00:08:23.307
Of the fireplace, set 'em in the kitchen,
00:08:23.373 --> 00:08:24.374
Set 'em in the kitchen, and then just begin to pour
00:08:24.441 --> 00:08:27.077
And then just begin to pour what you have on the inside out.
00:08:27.144 --> 00:08:29.980
What you have on the inside out. pour it out.
00:08:30.047 --> 00:08:31.748
Pour it out. pour it, don't hoard it.
00:08:31.815 --> 00:08:34.051
Pour it, don't hoard it. pour it."
00:08:34.117 --> 00:08:35.118
Pour it." if you'll start using
00:08:35.185 --> 00:08:36.453
If you'll start using what i put in you.
00:08:36.520 --> 00:08:38.088
What i put in you. you can't keep saying,
00:08:38.155 --> 00:08:39.623
You can't keep saying, "i'm waiting on a big break
00:08:39.690 --> 00:08:40.824
"i'm waiting on a big break to come on the outside."
00:08:40.891 --> 00:08:42.059
To come on the outside." you've got to pour the little
00:08:42.125 --> 00:08:44.061
You've got to pour the little bit that you've got
00:08:44.127 --> 00:08:45.195
Bit that you've got on the inside.
00:08:45.262 --> 00:08:46.597
On the inside. god says,
00:08:46.663 --> 00:08:47.230
God says, "if you'll pour it."
00:08:47.297 --> 00:08:48.432
"if you'll pour it." and then they poured
00:08:48.498 --> 00:08:49.633
And then they poured from vessel,
00:08:49.700 --> 00:08:50.434
From vessel, to vessel,
00:08:50.500 --> 00:08:51.201
To vessel, to vessel,
00:08:51.268 --> 00:08:51.902
To vessel, to vessel.
00:08:51.969 --> 00:08:53.437
To vessel. and the scripture said as soon
00:08:53.503 --> 00:08:55.439
And the scripture said as soon as they ran out of pots
00:08:55.505 --> 00:08:57.674
As they ran out of pots to pour it into,
00:08:57.741 --> 00:08:58.942
To pour it into, the oil stopped.
00:08:59.009 --> 00:09:02.412
The oil stopped. that tells you that god says,
00:09:02.479 --> 00:09:04.581
That tells you that god says, "i only bless people
00:09:04.648 --> 00:09:06.083
"i only bless people and multiply people
00:09:06.149 --> 00:09:07.651
And multiply people who use what they have
00:09:07.718 --> 00:09:10.220
Who use what they have on the inside.
00:09:10.287 --> 00:09:11.888
On the inside. and it may look insignificant,
00:09:11.955 --> 00:09:13.890
And it may look insignificant, and it may look small,
00:09:13.957 --> 00:09:15.192
And it may look small, and many of you are sitting
00:09:15.258 --> 00:09:17.160
And many of you are sitting on what you can do
00:09:17.227 --> 00:09:19.296
On what you can do and saying,
00:09:19.363 --> 00:09:20.230
And saying, "but, you know,
00:09:20.297 --> 00:09:21.465
"but, you know, i just need something
00:09:21.531 --> 00:09:22.733
I just need something out there,"
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:23.700
Out there," and god says,
00:09:23.767 --> 00:09:24.067
And god says, "do what you can do
00:09:24.134 --> 00:09:25.869
"do what you can do with what i've given you."
00:09:25.936 --> 00:09:27.137
With what i've given you." the miracle of multiplication
00:09:27.204 --> 00:09:28.972
The miracle of multiplication is never dependent
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:30.173
Is never dependent on the outside.
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:31.041
On the outside. god reaches inside and begins --
00:09:31.108 --> 00:09:33.710
God reaches inside and begins -- and there are businesses that
00:09:33.777 --> 00:09:34.911
And there are businesses that were started in this room when
00:09:34.978 --> 00:09:37.481
Were started in this room when somebody decided on the inside,
00:09:37.547 --> 00:09:39.449
Somebody decided on the inside, "i'm gonna do it,
00:09:39.516 --> 00:09:40.217
"i'm gonna do it, 'cause god's leading me
00:09:40.283 --> 00:09:41.818
'cause god's leading me to do it,
00:09:41.885 --> 00:09:42.219
To do it, and god breathed on it,
00:09:42.285 --> 00:09:43.820
And god breathed on it, and the blessing
00:09:43.887 --> 00:09:44.588
And the blessing of multiplication came on it."
00:09:44.655 --> 00:09:46.623
Of multiplication came on it." and you really can't
00:09:46.690 --> 00:09:47.524
And you really can't take the glory.
00:09:47.591 --> 00:09:48.692
Take the glory. you worked hard,
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:49.626
You worked hard, but you know the creator
00:09:49.693 --> 00:09:51.294
But you know the creator breathed on that seed,
00:09:51.361 --> 00:09:53.030
Breathed on that seed, and it was the blessing
00:09:53.096 --> 00:09:54.765
And it was the blessing of multiplication.
00:09:54.831 --> 00:09:56.199
Of multiplication. that's how this church
00:09:56.266 --> 00:09:57.601
That's how this church is here today, hallelujah.
00:09:57.668 --> 00:09:59.569
Is here today, hallelujah. i'm telling you,
00:09:59.636 --> 00:10:00.404
I'm telling you, this stuff is real.
00:10:00.470 --> 00:10:02.105
This stuff is real. god can use and bless you
00:10:02.172 --> 00:10:05.075
God can use and bless you when you begin to pour it out,
00:10:05.142 --> 00:10:08.145
When you begin to pour it out, pour it out, pour it out.
00:10:08.211 --> 00:10:10.881
Pour it out, pour it out. you can't get a revelation
00:10:10.947 --> 00:10:13.417
You can't get a revelation of how big god is
00:10:13.483 --> 00:10:15.752
Of how big god is until you get a revelation
00:10:15.819 --> 00:10:16.987
Until you get a revelation of how small you are.
00:10:17.054 --> 00:10:19.890
Of how small you are. it's christ in you,
00:10:19.956 --> 00:10:21.858
It's christ in you, the hope of glory.
00:10:21.925 --> 00:10:23.827
The hope of glory. i have that revelation every
00:10:23.894 --> 00:10:25.162
I have that revelation every time i come to the pulpit.
00:10:25.228 --> 00:10:27.264
Time i come to the pulpit. all i have is a bunch of words
00:10:27.330 --> 00:10:28.865
All i have is a bunch of words on a piece of paper.
00:10:28.932 --> 00:10:30.567
On a piece of paper. and to be honest,
00:10:30.634 --> 00:10:31.702
And to be honest, i'm scared to death.
00:10:31.768 --> 00:10:32.803
I'm scared to death. i still get nervous at 62 years
00:10:32.869 --> 00:10:35.172
I still get nervous at 62 years of age after doing it 40
00:10:35.238 --> 00:10:36.573
Of age after doing it 40 something years.
00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:38.642
Something years. but i've learned something.
00:10:38.709 --> 00:10:40.143
But i've learned something. that i'm small,
00:10:40.210 --> 00:10:42.279
That i'm small, and i'm insignificant,
00:10:42.345 --> 00:10:43.847
And i'm insignificant, but the god that
00:10:43.914 --> 00:10:44.614
But the god that i serve is magnificent.
00:10:44.681 --> 00:10:46.516
I serve is magnificent. and the magnificent one
00:10:46.583 --> 00:10:48.218
And the magnificent one on the inside of me,
00:10:48.285 --> 00:10:49.920
On the inside of me, christ the hope of glory
00:10:49.986 --> 00:10:51.188
Christ the hope of glory that is in you,
00:10:51.254 --> 00:10:53.256
That is in you, if you would just let him
00:10:53.323 --> 00:10:54.224
If you would just let him take your little bit.
00:10:54.291 --> 00:10:55.892
Take your little bit. little is much when god
00:10:55.959 --> 00:10:57.594
Little is much when god is in it.
00:10:57.661 --> 00:10:58.662
Is in it. oh, hallelujah.
00:10:58.729 --> 00:10:59.963
Oh, hallelujah. i'm telling you.
00:11:00.030 --> 00:11:00.897
I'm telling you. you may feel like
00:11:00.964 --> 00:11:01.898
You may feel like you're insignificant,
00:11:01.965 --> 00:11:03.500
You're insignificant, but the magnificent
00:11:03.567 --> 00:11:05.268
But the magnificent lives in you.
00:11:05.335 --> 00:11:06.403
Lives in you. his name is jesus
00:11:06.470 --> 00:11:07.971
His name is jesus and he can use you
00:11:08.038 --> 00:11:09.673
And he can use you for his glory.
00:11:09.740 --> 00:11:11.241
For his glory. clap your hands
00:11:11.308 --> 00:11:12.075
Clap your hands and give him praise.
00:11:12.142 --> 00:11:12.809
[applause]
00:11:13.310 --> 00:11:17.013
Hallelujah.
00:11:17.380 --> 00:11:19.349
Hallelujah. the seed doesn't come
00:11:19.416 --> 00:11:20.550
The seed doesn't come from the trunk of the tree.
00:11:20.617 --> 00:11:24.855
From the trunk of the tree. he said,
00:11:24.921 --> 00:11:25.455
He said, "whose seed is in itself."
00:11:25.522 --> 00:11:27.457
"whose seed is in itself." but it does not come --
00:11:27.524 --> 00:11:29.126
But it does not come -- seeds don't come out
00:11:29.192 --> 00:11:29.726
Seeds don't come out of the trunk of a tree,
00:11:29.793 --> 00:11:30.927
Of the trunk of a tree, they don't come out
00:11:30.994 --> 00:11:31.461
They don't come out of the branches of a tree,
00:11:31.528 --> 00:11:33.130
Of the branches of a tree, they come only from the fruit
00:11:33.196 --> 00:11:35.065
They come only from the fruit of the tree.
00:11:35.132 --> 00:11:36.333
Of the tree. and that's why some are not
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:37.434
And that's why some are not multiplying because god is
00:11:37.501 --> 00:11:40.203
Multiplying because god is waiting on some fruit.
00:11:40.270 --> 00:11:44.374
Waiting on some fruit. god will not multiply something
00:11:44.441 --> 00:11:46.576
God will not multiply something that is not producing any fruit.
00:11:46.643 --> 00:11:51.715
That is not producing any fruit. when jesus cursed the fig tree,
00:11:51.782 --> 00:11:53.984
When jesus cursed the fig tree, he was angry at it because
00:11:54.050 --> 00:11:56.319
He was angry at it because it was not producing fruit.
00:11:56.386 --> 00:11:59.222
It was not producing fruit. he did not --
00:11:59.289 --> 00:12:00.423
He did not -- listen, he said,
00:12:00.490 --> 00:12:01.491
Listen, he said, "be fruitful and multiply."
00:12:01.558 --> 00:12:03.927
"be fruitful and multiply." and when he needed
00:12:03.994 --> 00:12:04.961
And when he needed that tree to have fruit,
00:12:05.028 --> 00:12:06.696
That tree to have fruit, it had no fruit.
00:12:06.763 --> 00:12:07.864
It had no fruit. it had a trunk,

00:23:34.650 --> 00:23:35.351
>> i still remember it like it was yesterday.
00:23:35.418 --> 00:23:36.319
Like it was yesterday. picking up my little baby
00:23:36.385 --> 00:23:37.453
Picking up my little baby and running to the safe room,
00:23:37.520 --> 00:23:39.555
And running to the safe room, feeling like any second
00:23:39.622 --> 00:23:40.756
Feeling like any second a rocket's gonna fall on us.
00:23:40.823 --> 00:23:42.859
A rocket's gonna fall on us. it's a sound that i can still
00:23:42.925 --> 00:23:45.261
Close my eyes and i hear it,
00:23:45.361 --> 00:23:47.163
Close my eyes and i hear it, in my sleep -- you don't
00:23:47.230 --> 00:23:50.032
In my sleep -- you don't forget something like this.
00:23:50.099 --> 00:23:51.734
Hovering over her
00:23:51.834 --> 00:23:52.635
Hovering over her in the safe room
00:23:52.702 --> 00:23:53.436
In the safe room and just feeling like
00:23:53.503 --> 00:23:54.704
And just feeling like any second something
00:23:54.770 --> 00:23:55.605
Any second something is gonna happen.
00:23:55.671 --> 00:23:57.807
Is gonna happen. but having that reassurance
00:23:57.874 --> 00:23:58.908
But having that reassurance that we have that safe room --
00:23:58.975 --> 00:24:00.576
That we have that safe room -- i mean, a rocket fall
00:24:00.643 --> 00:24:01.711
I mean, a rocket fall right outside of our house
00:24:01.777 --> 00:24:03.045
Right outside of our house and the shrapnel destroyed
00:24:03.112 --> 00:24:05.014
And the shrapnel destroyed many things that
00:24:05.081 --> 00:24:05.615
Many things that were in our room,
00:24:05.681 --> 00:24:06.315
Were in our room, the place that
00:24:06.382 --> 00:24:06.816
The place that we just ran from.
00:24:06.883 --> 00:24:09.151
We just ran from. if it wasn't for
00:24:09.218 --> 00:24:10.119
If it wasn't for pastor jentezen franklin,
00:24:10.186 --> 00:24:12.522
Pastor jentezen franklin, we, our whole community
00:24:12.588 --> 00:24:14.957
We, our whole community wouldn't come back.
00:24:15.024 --> 00:24:16.325
Wouldn't come back. we really, we thank you so much.
00:24:16.392 --> 00:24:18.461
>> over the next year,
00:24:19.629 --> 00:24:20.696
Our mission is to complete
00:24:20.796 --> 00:24:22.031
The civil defense centers
00:24:22.131 --> 00:24:23.466
And safe houses in eshkol,
00:24:23.566 --> 00:24:25.535
Which are life lines
00:24:25.635 --> 00:24:26.636
For families
00:24:26.736 --> 00:24:27.403
When emergencies arise.
00:24:27.503 --> 00:24:29.972
It's the time to bring healing
00:24:30.072 --> 00:24:31.707
For the people of israel.
00:24:31.807 --> 00:24:33.543

The eshkol resilience center
00:24:34.443 --> 00:24:36.279
To help with mental health
00:24:36.379 --> 00:24:37.813
From the trauma
00:24:37.914 --> 00:24:38.447
Of the last two years.
00:24:38.548 --> 00:24:40.216

00:24:48.658 --> 00:24:50.960
And declaring that the light
00:24:51.060 --> 00:24:52.194
Will always overcome
00:24:52.295 --> 00:24:53.663
The darkness.
