Of you watching this program today.
00:00:11.091 --> 00:00:12.525
Program today. i believe that 1 samuel 21
00:00:12.592 --> 00:00:16.196
I believe that 1 samuel 21 has an incredible story
00:00:16.262 --> 00:00:18.231
Has an incredible story and specifically verse 8,
00:00:18.298 --> 00:00:20.033
And specifically verse 8, an amazing verse that
00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:21.868
An amazing verse that i want imprinted on
00:00:21.935 --> 00:00:23.236
I want imprinted on your heart and mine.
00:00:23.303 --> 00:00:24.337
Your heart and mine. it says, "the king's business
00:00:24.404 --> 00:00:26.306
It says, "the king's business requires haste,"
00:00:26.372 --> 00:00:27.807
Requires haste," and that's a scripture
00:00:27.874 --> 00:00:29.542
And that's a scripture that i believe needs
00:00:29.609 --> 00:00:30.410
That i believe needs to get in our spirit.
00:00:30.477 --> 00:00:32.378
To get in our spirit. i believe that hell
00:00:32.445 --> 00:00:33.746
I believe that hell is not on a vacation,
00:00:33.813 --> 00:00:35.014
Is not on a vacation, that satan and demonic forces
00:00:35.081 --> 00:00:36.783
That satan and demonic forces are moving fast to kill,
00:00:36.850 --> 00:00:40.286
Are moving fast to kill, steal and destroy.
00:00:40.353 --> 00:00:41.354
Steal and destroy. but god is calling his church
00:00:41.421 --> 00:00:43.490
But god is calling his church in a new year to move faster
00:00:43.556 --> 00:00:45.692
In a new year to move faster than ever before in faith,
00:00:45.758 --> 00:00:48.228
Than ever before in faith, in prayer, in obedience.
00:00:48.294 --> 00:00:50.530
In prayer, in obedience. i think today the holy spirit
00:00:50.597 --> 00:00:52.398
I think today the holy spirit is going to stir your heart
00:00:52.465 --> 00:00:54.100
Is going to stir your heart and awaken your purpose
00:00:54.167 --> 00:00:55.368

Secondary business. his agenda is not something

His agenda is not something that's a side dish

As i preach to grip our hearts that this is not just any time
00:04:17.670 --> 00:04:19.872
That this is not just any time that we're living in.
00:04:19.939 --> 00:04:21.341
That we're living in. but we must wake up
00:04:21.407 --> 00:04:22.775
But we must wake up to the urgency
00:04:22.842 --> 00:04:24.377
To the urgency of the king's business.
00:04:24.444 --> 00:04:26.713
Of the king's business. the king's business.
00:04:26.779 --> 00:04:28.314
The king's business. it's not your

00:04:29.749 --> 00:04:31.050
Priority, number one and the king's business,
00:04:31.117 --> 00:04:33.353
And the king's business, and his kingdom is something
00:04:33.419 --> 00:04:35.521
And his kingdom is something way on down the line.
00:04:35.588 --> 00:04:37.990
Way on down the line. hell is not lackadaisical.
00:04:38.057 --> 00:04:40.626
Hell is not lackadaisical. hell does not have
00:04:40.693 --> 00:04:42.528
Hell does not have a lukewarm attitude
00:04:42.595 --> 00:04:44.630
A lukewarm attitude about its assignment,
00:04:44.697 --> 00:04:45.832
About its assignment, which john 10:10 said,
00:04:45.898 --> 00:04:48.401
Which john 10:10 said, "the thief comes to kill,
00:04:48.468 --> 00:04:50.169
"the thief comes to kill, to steal, and to destroy."
00:04:50.236 --> 00:04:52.939
To steal, and to destroy." we are under attack
00:04:53.005 --> 00:04:55.441
We are under attack because listen,

Because listen, hell is having a revival.
00:04:56.876 --> 00:05:00.546
Hell is having a revival. what are we gonna do?
00:05:00.613 --> 00:05:02.448
What are we gonna do? are we gonna sit around
00:05:02.515 --> 00:05:03.816
Are we gonna sit around and curse the darkness?
00:05:03.883 --> 00:05:05.151
And curse the darkness? or are we going to turn on
00:05:05.218 --> 00:05:06.419
Or are we going to turn on the light and recognize
00:05:06.486 --> 00:05:08.388
The light and recognize the king's business?
00:05:08.454 --> 00:05:09.822
The king's business? the demons say,
00:05:09.889 --> 00:05:11.357
The demons say, "our king, satan,
00:05:11.424 --> 00:05:12.792
"our king, satan, his business requires
00:05:12.859 --> 00:05:15.194
His business requires haste on our side."
00:05:15.261 --> 00:05:16.863
Haste on our side." but the church is laid back
00:05:16.929 --> 00:05:18.831
But the church is laid back about it and we can't be.
00:05:18.898 --> 00:05:20.800
About it and we can't be. let me show you how serious
00:05:20.867 --> 00:05:23.202
Let me show you how serious the revival hell is having is.
00:05:23.269 --> 00:05:26.339
The revival hell is having is. according to isaiah 5:14,
00:05:26.406 --> 00:05:29.542
According to isaiah 5:14, "hell hath enlarged itself."
00:05:29.609 --> 00:05:32.845
"hell hath enlarged itself." listen to that.
00:05:32.912 --> 00:05:34.046
Listen to that. it's opening up its --
00:05:34.113 --> 00:05:36.315
It's opening up its -- hell is in a building program.
00:05:36.382 --> 00:05:38.317
Hell is in a building program. hell has scaffolds,
00:05:38.384 --> 00:05:39.752
Hell has scaffolds, and bulldozers, and steel
00:05:39.819 --> 00:05:41.888
And bulldozers, and steel is going up to --

00:05:43.423 --> 00:05:44.557
I'm exaggerating a little bit,
00:05:44.624 --> 00:05:45.124
A little bit, but really i'm not.
00:05:45.191 --> 00:05:46.192
But really i'm not. that's a biblical principle.
00:05:46.259 --> 00:05:48.094
That's a biblical principle. hell is growing.
00:05:48.161 --> 00:05:49.195
Hell is growing. hell is increasing.
00:05:49.262 --> 00:05:50.830
Hell is increasing. many churches are
00:05:50.897 --> 00:05:52.098
Many churches are withering up and dying.
00:05:52.165 --> 00:05:53.399
Withering up and dying. some have never
00:05:53.466 --> 00:05:54.233
Some have never recovered from --
00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:55.368
Recovered from -- do you know 10,000 churches
00:05:55.435 --> 00:05:57.470
Do you know 10,000 churches close a year in america?
00:05:57.537 --> 00:05:59.839
Close a year in america? there are only 360,000 churches
00:05:59.906 --> 00:06:02.909
There are only 360,000 churches and 10,000 a year
00:06:02.975 --> 00:06:04.877
And 10,000 a year close the doors,
00:06:04.944 --> 00:06:06.145
Close the doors, while hell is enlarging itself.
00:06:06.212 --> 00:06:09.782
While hell is enlarging itself. we must never stop
00:06:09.849 --> 00:06:11.384
We must never stop forgetting that there is
00:06:11.451 --> 00:06:12.618
Forgetting that there is a real place called hell.
00:06:12.685 --> 00:06:14.720
A real place called hell. jesus taught
00:06:14.787 --> 00:06:15.721
Jesus taught about it continually.
00:06:15.788 --> 00:06:17.623
About it continually. he warned people that who --
00:06:17.690 --> 00:06:19.325
He warned people that who -- that if you do not
00:06:19.392 --> 00:06:20.259
That if you do not have your name written
00:06:20.326 --> 00:06:21.427
Have your name written in the lamb's book
00:06:21.494 --> 00:06:22.462
In the lamb's book of life at judgment day,
00:06:22.528 --> 00:06:24.630
Of life at judgment day, the great, great
00:06:24.697 --> 00:06:25.598
The great, great white throne judgment,
00:06:25.665 --> 00:06:27.200
White throne judgment, he will say to those who
00:06:27.266 --> 00:06:29.235
He will say to those who do not have their name,
00:06:29.302 --> 00:06:30.670
Do not have their name, "depart from me.
00:06:30.736 --> 00:06:32.738
"depart from me. be cast into outer --
00:06:32.805 --> 00:06:34.106
Be cast into outer -- into the lake of fire
00:06:34.173 --> 00:06:35.441
Into the lake of fire where there's weeping
00:06:35.508 --> 00:06:36.843
Where there's weeping and gnashing of teeth."
00:06:36.909 --> 00:06:38.444
And gnashing of teeth." that's why the king's business
00:06:38.511 --> 00:06:40.980
That's why the king's business takes urgency.
00:06:41.047 --> 00:06:43.115
Takes urgency. it takes haste.
00:06:43.182 --> 00:06:44.884
It takes haste. we must reach.
00:06:44.951 --> 00:06:46.085
We must reach. we must, as jude said,
00:06:46.152 --> 00:06:47.987
We must, as jude said, pluck them out of the fire.
00:06:48.054 --> 00:06:50.389
Pluck them out of the fire. the grave with its grassy teeth
00:06:50.456 --> 00:06:53.826
The grave with its grassy teeth is ready to pull young, and old,
00:06:53.893 --> 00:06:56.295
Is ready to pull young, and old, and teenagers, and young people,
00:06:56.362 --> 00:06:57.964
And teenagers, and young people, and even hell the flames
00:06:58.030 --> 00:07:01.167
And even hell the flames are reaching.
00:07:01.234 --> 00:07:01.801
Are reaching. and he said,
00:07:01.868 --> 00:07:02.768
And he said, "i want a generation to pluck
00:07:02.835 --> 00:07:05.371
"i want a generation to pluck them out of the fire."
00:07:05.438 --> 00:07:10.042
Them out of the fire." i believe today that hell
00:07:10.109 --> 00:07:11.711
I believe today that hell is not on a sabbatical.
00:07:11.777 --> 00:07:14.547
Is not on a sabbatical. marriages are under attack.
00:07:14.614 --> 00:07:17.450
Marriages are under attack. marriages and families
00:07:17.517 --> 00:07:20.786
Marriages and families and children are under attack.
00:07:20.853 --> 00:07:22.288
And children are under attack. satan destroys somebody and he
00:07:22.355 --> 00:07:24.924
Satan destroys somebody and he doesn't take a sabbatical.
00:07:24.991 --> 00:07:26.592
Doesn't take a sabbatical. he turns and says,
00:07:26.659 --> 00:07:27.560
He turns and says, "let's go get some more.
00:07:27.627 --> 00:07:28.961
"let's go get some more. let's go get some more.
00:07:29.028 --> 00:07:30.263
Let's go get some more. let's go get some more."
00:07:30.329 --> 00:07:32.532
Let's go get some more." that urgency, i don't see
00:07:32.598 --> 00:07:35.034
That urgency, i don't see in the kingdom.
00:07:35.101 --> 00:07:35.902
In the kingdom. that urgency,
00:07:35.968 --> 00:07:37.270
That urgency, i don't see in the church.
00:07:37.336 --> 00:07:40.306
I don't see in the church. i will hope that my preaching
00:07:40.373 --> 00:07:42.375
I will hope that my preaching provokes you to action because
00:07:42.441 --> 00:07:44.744
Provokes you to action because we're all headed to eternity,
00:07:44.810 --> 00:07:46.946
We're all headed to eternity, and you're going to heaven
00:07:47.013 --> 00:07:48.247
And you're going to heaven or you're going to hell.
00:07:48.314 --> 00:07:49.649
Or you're going to hell. and the same is true
00:07:49.715 --> 00:07:50.816
And the same is true for everybody that you
00:07:50.883 --> 00:07:52.018
For everybody that you see and you know.
00:07:52.084 --> 00:07:53.219
See and you know. your family, we need
00:07:53.286 --> 00:07:54.620
Your family, we need an urgency about it.
00:07:54.687 --> 00:07:56.222
An urgency about it. we need something
00:07:56.289 --> 00:07:57.089
We need something to grip our heart.
00:07:57.156 --> 00:07:58.524
To grip our heart. there are three reasons why
00:07:58.591 --> 00:07:59.892
There are three reasons why we need urgency that i want
00:07:59.959 --> 00:08:01.694
We need urgency that i want to give you this morning.
00:08:01.761 --> 00:08:02.662
To give you this morning. number one, you need that
00:08:02.728 --> 00:08:04.163
Number one, you need that urgency because we're under
00:08:04.230 --> 00:08:06.599
Urgency because we're under constant outside opposition.
00:08:06.666 --> 00:08:09.669
Constant outside opposition. there is a devil.
00:08:09.735 --> 00:08:10.970
There is a devil. there is a hell.
00:08:11.037 --> 00:08:12.638
There is a hell. there are spiritual forces.
00:08:12.705 --> 00:08:14.340
There are spiritual forces. paul said, "we wrestle not
00:08:14.407 --> 00:08:16.442
Paul said, "we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
00:08:16.509 --> 00:08:18.110
Against flesh and blood, but against principalities
00:08:18.177 --> 00:08:20.012
But against principalities and powers."
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:21.781
And powers." and when you understand that,
00:08:21.847 --> 00:08:23.950
And when you understand that, and sometimes the enemy
00:08:24.016 --> 00:08:25.551
And sometimes the enemy attacks us as believers
00:08:25.618 --> 00:08:27.219
Attacks us as believers because he does with
00:08:27.286 --> 00:08:29.021
Because he does with outside opposition simply
00:08:29.088 --> 00:08:31.624
Outside opposition simply because he wants us so beat up
00:08:31.691 --> 00:08:33.492
Because he wants us so beat up that all we're doing is worrying
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.294
That all we're doing is worrying about us and our family
00:08:35.361 --> 00:08:37.063
About us and our family and our needs.
00:08:37.129 --> 00:08:38.998
And our needs. but i want to shake you
00:08:39.065 --> 00:08:40.132
But i want to shake you out of just being attacked.
00:08:40.199 --> 00:08:42.401
Out of just being attacked. i want to tell you that
00:08:42.468 --> 00:08:43.669
I want to tell you that the second reason that
00:08:43.736 --> 00:08:45.338
The second reason that we need an urgency
00:08:45.404 --> 00:08:46.639
We need an urgency is because not only is
00:08:46.706 --> 00:08:48.874
Is because not only is there an outside opposition,
00:08:48.941 --> 00:08:51.944
There an outside opposition, but there is an inward calling.
00:08:52.011 --> 00:08:56.015
But there is an inward calling. and we need to know that
00:08:56.082 --> 00:08:57.249
And we need to know that the calling is greater
00:08:57.316 --> 00:08:58.884
The calling is greater than the confusion.
00:08:58.951 --> 00:09:00.653
Than the confusion. you have on your life a holy
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:02.788
You have on your life a holy calling that is greater than
00:09:02.855 --> 00:09:05.024
Calling that is greater than the hell you're going through.
00:09:05.091 --> 00:09:07.026
The hell you're going through. there is a promise that you have
00:09:07.093 --> 00:09:10.162
There is a promise that you have that you and your house will be
00:09:10.229 --> 00:09:12.198
That you and your house will be saved if you'll hold on to it,
00:09:12.264 --> 00:09:14.367
Saved if you'll hold on to it, and that promise is greater
00:09:14.433 --> 00:09:16.202
And that promise is greater than the problem.
00:09:16.268 --> 00:09:17.303
Than the problem. there's a holy calling.
00:09:17.370 --> 00:09:18.971
There's a holy calling. i wanna say this big.
00:09:19.038 --> 00:09:20.373
I wanna say this big. there is a prophecy that's
00:09:20.439 --> 00:09:22.274
There is a prophecy that's greater than the pressure
00:09:22.341 --> 00:09:24.410
Greater than the pressure that you're under.
00:09:24.477 --> 00:09:25.645
That you're under. there is the pressure
00:09:25.711 --> 00:09:27.580
There is the pressure and the pressure is real,
00:09:27.647 --> 00:09:29.281
And the pressure is real, but so is the prophecy.
00:09:29.348 --> 00:09:31.217
[applause]
00:09:31.550 --> 00:09:31.784
And when hell has attacked
00:09:32.284 --> 00:09:33.886
And when hell has attacked our family and our children
00:09:33.953 --> 00:09:36.122
Our family and our children and came with all it --
00:09:36.188 --> 00:09:37.990
And came with all it -- the outside opposition,
00:09:38.057 --> 00:09:40.159
The outside opposition, it was the inward calling
00:09:40.226 --> 00:09:42.094
It was the inward calling in me that said,
00:09:42.161 --> 00:09:43.562
In me that said, "devil, if you think
00:09:43.629 --> 00:09:45.031
"devil, if you think that's gonna make me stop
00:09:45.097 --> 00:09:46.666
That's gonna make me stop preaching just because it looks
00:09:46.732 --> 00:09:48.367
Preaching just because it looks like you've got one of my kids,
00:09:48.434 --> 00:09:50.603
Like you've got one of my kids, i will preach it greater."
00:09:50.670 --> 00:09:52.405
I will preach it greater." because listen,
00:09:52.471 --> 00:09:53.506
Because listen, the problem is real,
00:09:53.572 --> 00:09:54.940
The problem is real, but so is the purpose.
00:09:55.007 --> 00:09:56.509
But so is the purpose. and the hell is real
00:09:56.575 --> 00:09:58.477
And the hell is real and the issues that
00:09:58.544 --> 00:09:59.612
And the issues that you're dealing with,
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:00.546
You're dealing with, but so is that
00:10:00.613 --> 00:10:01.647
But so is that divine calling of god.
00:10:01.714 --> 00:10:03.949
Divine calling of god. and there must be an urgency
00:10:04.016 --> 00:10:06.552
And there must be an urgency about the call.
00:10:06.619 --> 00:10:08.554
About the call. there is outside opposition,
00:10:08.621 --> 00:10:10.423
There is outside opposition, there is the inside calling,
00:10:10.489 --> 00:10:13.025
There is the inside calling, and there is lastly,
00:10:13.092 --> 00:10:14.760
And there is lastly, limited time.
00:10:14.827 --> 00:10:17.196
Limited time. we're running out of time.
00:10:17.263 --> 00:10:21.534
We're running out of time. we're running out of time.
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:23.969
We're running out of time. when you see
00:10:24.036 --> 00:10:25.004
When you see artificial intelligence
00:10:25.071 --> 00:10:27.273
Artificial intelligence just like the bible predicted
00:10:27.339 --> 00:10:29.809
Just like the bible predicted and technology that without
00:10:29.875 --> 00:10:32.978
And technology that without this you can't buy and sell
00:10:33.045 --> 00:10:35.715
This you can't buy and sell and you can't --
00:10:35.781 --> 00:10:36.782
And you can't -- we saw the trial run
00:10:36.849 --> 00:10:38.851
We saw the trial run of it all during covid.
00:10:38.918 --> 00:10:40.252
Of it all during covid. we see the prophecies being
00:10:40.319 --> 00:10:43.656
We see the prophecies being fulfilled and we have
00:10:43.723 --> 00:10:45.357
Fulfilled and we have limited time.
00:10:45.424 --> 00:10:51.330
Limited time. and each scripture even
00:10:51.397 --> 00:10:52.932
And each scripture even says in hebrews that moses
00:10:52.998 --> 00:10:55.468
Says in hebrews that moses and abraham were --
00:10:55.534 --> 00:10:58.237
And abraham were -- they can't be perfected
00:10:58.304 --> 00:11:00.439
They can't be perfected without us.
00:11:00.506 --> 00:11:03.075
Without us. we are the anchor runners
00:11:03.142 --> 00:11:06.812
We are the anchor runners of the race.
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.281
Of the race. we're it.
00:11:09.348 --> 00:11:11.183
We're it. this generation, we're it.
00:11:11.250 --> 00:11:14.286
This generation, we're it. it has come upon us.
00:11:14.353 --> 00:11:16.522
It has come upon us. are we urgent enough?
00:11:16.589 --> 00:11:18.424
Are we urgent enough? the cloud of witnesses
00:11:18.491 --> 00:11:19.959
The cloud of witnesses is watching.
00:11:20.025 --> 00:11:21.961
Is watching. how will we run?
00:11:22.027 --> 00:11:23.596
How will we run? how will we praise?
00:11:23.662 --> 00:11:25.297
How will we praise? how will we live?
00:11:25.364 --> 00:11:26.899
How will we live? how will we preach?
00:11:26.966 --> 00:11:28.367
How will we preach? how will we give?
00:11:28.434 --> 00:11:29.869
How will we give? how will we sacrifice
00:11:29.935 --> 00:11:31.370
How will we sacrifice and consecrate?
00:11:31.437 --> 00:11:32.705
And consecrate? how will we fast?
00:11:32.772 --> 00:11:34.039
How will we fast? the king's business takes haste.
00:11:34.106 --> 00:11:37.042
The king's business takes haste. the king's business,
00:11:37.109 --> 00:11:38.644
The king's business, this business of living
00:11:38.711 --> 00:11:40.212
This business of living for jesus christ,
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:41.547
For jesus christ, it takes urgency.
00:11:41.614 --> 00:11:43.883
It takes urgency. urgency to raise our children
00:11:43.949 --> 00:11:46.218
Urgency to raise our children in a godly environment
00:11:46.285 --> 00:11:48.087
In a godly environment and teach 'em the word of god.
00:11:48.154 --> 00:11:49.488
And teach 'em the word of god. an urgency to read this book.
00:11:49.555 --> 00:11:51.924
An urgency to read this book. an urgency to spend time in
00:11:51.991 --> 00:11:53.959
An urgency to spend time in god's presence and pray.
00:11:54.026 --> 00:11:56.529
God's presence and pray. as moses was
00:11:56.595 --> 00:11:57.530
As moses was fading off of the scene,
00:11:57.596 --> 00:11:59.131
Fading off of the scene, the bible said in
00:11:59.198 --> 00:12:00.299
The bible said in exodus 33:11 that joshua,
00:12:00.366 --> 00:12:04.069
Exodus 33:11 that joshua, joshua was the new generation.
00:12:04.136 --> 00:12:06.472
Joshua was the new generation. joshua was watching
00:12:06.539 --> 00:12:07.373
Joshua was watching all the icons of
00:12:07.439 --> 00:12:08.707
All the icons of the previous generation.
00:12:08.774 --> 00:12:10.409
The previous generation. and moses pass off the scene.
00:12:10.476 --> 00:12:12.411
And moses pass off the scene. but there was a new generation
00:12:12.478 --> 00:12:14.914
But there was a new generation that was gripped with urgency
00:12:14.980 --> 00:12:16.949
That was gripped with urgency and the bible said he departed
00:12:17.016 --> 00:12:18.884
And the bible said he departed not out of the tabernacle.
00:12:18.951 --> 00:12:21.453
Not out of the tabernacle. when all the other young people
00:12:21.520 --> 00:12:23.389
When all the other young people ran out with their friends
00:12:23.455 --> 00:12:25.057
Ran out with their friends and when --
00:12:25.124 --> 00:12:25.558
And when -- there was something that
00:12:25.624 --> 00:12:26.525
There was something that gripped a leader named joshua.
00:12:26.592 --> 00:12:28.794
Gripped a leader named joshua. and out of that leader named
00:12:28.861 --> 00:12:30.796
And out of that leader named joshua came a whole generation
00:12:30.863 --> 00:12:33.232
Joshua came a whole generation that was gripped with urgency.
00:12:33.299 --> 00:12:35.501
That was gripped with urgency. we've gotta take the land.
00:12:35.568 --> 00:12:36.869
We've gotta take the land. we've got to possess the land.
00:12:36.936 --> 00:12:38.804
We've got to possess the land. we're going over
00:12:38.871 --> 00:12:39.805
We're going over to the other side.
00:12:39.872 --> 00:12:42.474
To the other side. i thought about how that
00:12:42.541 --> 00:12:45.044
I thought about how that many of you have lost
00:12:45.110 --> 00:12:46.045
Many of you have lost your dream.
00:12:46.111 --> 00:12:47.413
Your dream. because your dream was delayed,
00:12:47.479 --> 00:12:50.783
Because your dream was delayed, you discarded your dream,
00:12:50.850 --> 00:12:52.151
You discarded your dream, but you got to get an urgency
00:12:52.218 --> 00:12:53.686
But you got to get an urgency about the ministry
00:12:53.752 --> 00:12:54.720
About the ministry and the calling of god
00:12:54.787 --> 00:12:55.821
And the calling of god on your life again.
00:12:55.888 --> 00:12:57.323
On your life again. some of you had
00:12:57.389 --> 00:12:58.557
Some of you had a dream statement,
00:12:58.624 --> 00:12:59.725
A dream statement, and you know the lord
00:12:59.792 --> 00:13:00.526
And you know the lord gave you a spiritual dream
00:13:00.593 --> 00:13:01.961
Gave you a spiritual dream and direction for your life,
00:13:02.027 --> 00:13:03.495
And direction for your life, but because of delay,
00:13:03.562 --> 00:13:05.231
But because of delay, you crumbled up
00:13:05.297 --> 00:13:06.131
You crumbled up the piece of paper
00:13:06.198 --> 00:13:07.199
The piece of paper and threw it in the trash can.
00:13:07.266 --> 00:13:09.001
And threw it in the trash can. but in daniel 2, the bible said
00:13:09.068 --> 00:13:11.704
But in daniel 2, the bible said nebuchadnezzar was given
00:13:11.770 --> 00:13:13.138
Nebuchadnezzar was given a spiritual dream.
00:13:13.205 --> 00:13:15.741
A spiritual dream. and the dream so gripped
00:13:15.808 --> 00:13:16.976
And the dream so gripped his heart that when he woke up,
00:13:17.042 --> 00:13:19.712
His heart that when he woke up, he was disturbed because he
00:13:19.778 --> 00:13:21.614
He was disturbed because he had lost the dream.
00:13:21.680 --> 00:13:23.415
Had lost the dream. and he said,
00:13:23.482 --> 00:13:24.149
And he said, "if you don't help me get
00:13:24.216 --> 00:13:25.584
"if you don't help me get my dream back that i have lost,
00:13:25.651 --> 00:13:28.287
My dream back that i have lost, i will cut you into pieces
00:13:28.354 --> 00:13:30.422
I will cut you into pieces and i will make your
00:13:30.489 --> 00:13:31.590
And i will make your homes dunghills.
00:13:31.657 --> 00:13:33.192
Homes dunghills. you're gonna stink and you
00:13:33.259 --> 00:13:35.027
You're gonna stink and you are going to be dead.
00:13:35.094 --> 00:13:37.129
Are going to be dead. i'm going to cut you
00:13:37.196 --> 00:13:38.264
I'm going to cut you into pieces."
00:13:38.330 --> 00:13:40.833
Into pieces." that sounds pretty urgent.
00:13:40.900 --> 00:13:43.836
That sounds pretty urgent. i have come today to stand
00:13:43.903 --> 00:13:46.438
I have come today to stand in defense of discarded dreams.
00:13:46.505 --> 00:13:50.643
In defense of discarded dreams. he said, "in the last days,
00:13:50.709 --> 00:13:52.177
He said, "in the last days, my old men will dream dreams,
00:13:52.244 --> 00:13:55.381
My old men will dream dreams, and my young men will have
00:13:55.447 --> 00:13:57.449
And my young men will have a vision for their life."
00:13:57.516 --> 00:13:59.752
A vision for their life." it's a vision of purity,
00:13:59.818 --> 00:14:01.654
It's a vision of purity, it's a vision of holiness,
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:03.522
It's a vision of holiness, it's a vision
00:14:03.589 --> 00:14:04.657
It's a vision of purpose and calling.
00:14:04.723 --> 00:14:05.991
Of purpose and calling. whatever field you go into,
00:14:06.058 --> 00:14:08.093
Whatever field you go into, you will be a person of great
00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:10.262
You will be a person of great anointing with a dream that god
00:14:10.329 --> 00:14:12.898
Anointing with a dream that god has given you to impact.
00:14:12.965 --> 00:14:16.001
Has given you to impact. hallelujah.
00:14:16.068 --> 00:14:16.802
Hallelujah. somebody shout amen.
00:14:16.869 --> 00:14:18.103
Somebody shout amen. >> congregation: amen.
00:14:18.170 --> 00:14:19.371
[applause]
00:14:19.705 --> 00:14:22.074
>> do you know
00:14:22.341 --> 00:14:22.775
>> do you know the difference between
00:14:22.841 --> 00:14:25.177
The difference between gideon's 32,000 and 300?
00:14:25.244 --> 00:14:28.380
Gideon's 32,000 and 300? if you don't remember the story,
00:14:28.447 --> 00:14:29.982
If you don't remember the story, it's in judges 7.
00:14:30.049 --> 00:14:32.518
It's in judges 7. but here's the bottom line,
00:14:32.584 --> 00:14:33.352
But here's the bottom line, god's about to deliver a whole
00:14:33.419 --> 00:14:34.954
God's about to deliver a whole nation from the midianites.
00:14:35.020 --> 00:14:36.455
Nation from the midianites. they were famous for attacking
00:14:36.522 --> 00:14:37.690
They were famous for attacking the harvest and stealing it.
00:14:37.756 --> 00:14:40.993
The harvest and stealing it. and god found gideon
00:14:41.060 --> 00:14:42.695
And god found gideon afraid in a cave.
00:14:42.761 --> 00:14:46.065
Afraid in a cave. and the angel of the lord
00:14:46.131 --> 00:14:47.433
And the angel of the lord really it was the --
00:14:47.499 --> 00:14:49.935
Really it was the -- it was the --
00:14:50.002 --> 00:14:51.937
It was the -- it was jesus in a way
00:14:52.004 --> 00:14:53.872
It was jesus in a way he didn't understand
00:14:53.939 --> 00:14:56.008
He didn't understand because he calls him lord.
00:14:56.075 --> 00:14:57.576
Because he calls him lord. but when you see it, he says,
00:14:57.643 --> 00:14:59.678
But when you see it, he says, "you are a mighty man of valor."
00:14:59.745 --> 00:15:05.017
"you are a mighty man of valor." god doesn't call you
00:15:05.084 --> 00:15:06.752
God doesn't call you like you are,
00:15:06.819 --> 00:15:07.319
Like you are, he calls you
00:15:07.386 --> 00:15:07.953
He calls you like he sees you.
00:15:08.020 --> 00:15:10.389
Like he sees you. and he says,
00:15:10.456 --> 00:15:11.323
And he says, "i want you to arise, gideon,
00:15:11.390 --> 00:15:15.561
"i want you to arise, gideon, and assemble an army,
00:15:15.627 --> 00:15:16.362
And assemble an army, for you will, you will
00:15:16.428 --> 00:15:18.731
For you will, you will destroy the midianites,
00:15:18.797 --> 00:15:21.200
Destroy the midianites, and you will take the land."
00:15:21.266 --> 00:15:24.236
And you will take the land." and he rose up,
00:15:24.303 --> 00:15:25.637
And he rose up, he blew a trumpet,
00:15:25.704 --> 00:15:26.672
He blew a trumpet, and 32,000 soldiers showed up.
00:15:26.739 --> 00:15:29.475
And 32,000 soldiers showed up. thirty two thousand men.
00:15:29.541 --> 00:15:31.310
Thirty two thousand men. but then god said,
00:15:31.377 --> 00:15:33.212
But then god said, "i want to show you
00:15:33.278 --> 00:15:33.946
"i want to show you the difference now
00:15:34.013 --> 00:15:35.848
The difference now between what i use.
00:15:35.914 --> 00:15:38.650
Between what i use. the world thinks our strength
00:15:38.717 --> 00:15:40.319
The world thinks our strength is in our numbers.
00:15:40.386 --> 00:15:41.987
Is in our numbers. but i don't have
00:15:42.054 --> 00:15:42.788
But i don't have to have numbers.
00:15:42.855 --> 00:15:43.756
To have numbers. i just need 300 that
00:15:43.822 --> 00:15:45.924
I just need 300 that has one thing that's gripped
00:15:45.991 --> 00:15:47.326
Has one thing that's gripped their life, urgency."
00:15:47.393 --> 00:15:50.095
Their life, urgency." and he takes them
00:15:50.162 --> 00:15:50.829
And he takes them to the river and he says,
00:15:50.896 --> 00:15:52.765
To the river and he says, "everybody get water before
00:15:52.831 --> 00:15:54.266
"everybody get water before we go into battle."
00:15:54.333 --> 00:15:56.301
We go into battle." they were outnumbered.
00:15:56.368 --> 00:15:57.202
They were outnumbered. three hundred
00:15:57.269 --> 00:15:58.070
Three hundred to three hundred thousand
00:15:58.137 --> 00:15:59.571
To three hundred thousand is the estimate of the army.
00:15:59.638 --> 00:16:02.074
Is the estimate of the army. so, this is your water, get it.
00:16:02.141 --> 00:16:04.810
So, this is your water, get it. and the bible said that the --
00:16:04.877 --> 00:16:06.311
And the bible said that the -- and he did it in groups.
00:16:06.378 --> 00:16:07.579
And he did it in groups. and every time they would go
00:16:07.646 --> 00:16:09.348
And every time they would go and lay down their weapons
00:16:09.415 --> 00:16:11.483
And lay down their weapons and reach down and, you know,
00:16:11.550 --> 00:16:14.353
And reach down and, you know, "i'm just going to sip
00:16:14.420 --> 00:16:15.120
"i'm just going to sip a little from the river."
00:16:15.187 --> 00:16:17.423
A little from the river." listen, "and everyone that
00:16:17.489 --> 00:16:18.791
Listen, "and everyone that laps the water with his
00:16:18.857 --> 00:16:20.292
Laps the water with his tongue like a dog."
00:16:20.359 --> 00:16:24.496
Tongue like a dog." have you ever seen a dog?

And he's licking it, and when he walks off,
00:16:32.971 --> 00:16:34.273
And when he walks off, it's falling off his chin.
00:16:34.339 --> 00:16:36.408
It's falling off his chin. it's everywhere.

Second priority to my business. my business is god's business.

With you with a call, i don't know any

I don't know any other way to say it,

And i heard the lord in my spirit say,

In my spirit say, "i have called you to preach.
00:18:20.946 --> 00:18:23.849

Broke into a great revival, and it booked up

Let me tell you one more. the book of numbers,
00:19:15.901 --> 00:19:17.836
The book of numbers, i believe it's the 16th chapter.
00:19:17.903 --> 00:19:20.872
I believe it's the 16th chapter. a plague has broken out
00:19:20.939 --> 00:19:22.174
A plague has broken out in israel.
00:19:22.241 --> 00:19:25.244
In israel. and by the thousands,
00:19:25.310 --> 00:19:26.912
And by the thousands, and tens of thousands,
00:19:26.979 --> 00:19:28.513
And tens of thousands, the plague.
00:19:28.580 --> 00:19:30.082
The plague. god's judgment has hit
00:19:30.148 --> 00:19:31.550
God's judgment has hit and like a domino effect,
00:19:31.617 --> 00:19:36.622
And like a domino effect, people are dying
00:19:36.688 --> 00:19:37.789
People are dying of the plague, it starts.
00:19:37.856 --> 00:19:40.792
Of the plague, it starts. and aaron, the high priest,
00:19:40.859 --> 00:19:44.396
And aaron, the high priest, is standing watching
00:19:44.463 --> 00:19:46.064
Is standing watching the congregation,
00:19:46.131 --> 00:19:47.966
The congregation, and they start dying,
00:19:48.033 --> 00:19:49.167
And they start dying, it's sweeping like
00:19:49.234 --> 00:19:50.369
It's sweeping like a wave of death.
00:19:50.435 --> 00:19:55.340
A wave of death. and the scripture said that
00:19:55.407 --> 00:19:57.242
And the scripture said that god told him to take a sensor,
00:19:57.309 --> 00:19:59.911
God told him to take a sensor, which if you've ever seen
00:19:59.978 --> 00:20:00.879
Which if you've ever seen a catholic service
00:20:00.946 --> 00:20:01.913
A catholic service or a orthodox service,
00:20:01.980 --> 00:20:03.882
Or a orthodox service, they will have
00:20:03.949 --> 00:20:04.783
They will have the old-fashioned sensors,
00:20:04.850 --> 00:20:06.084
The old-fashioned sensors, which is this bowl that
00:20:06.151 --> 00:20:08.053
Which is this bowl that holds spices,
00:20:08.120 --> 00:20:09.488
Holds spices, which represents prayer
00:20:09.554 --> 00:20:10.956
Which represents prayer and praise very clear
00:20:11.023 --> 00:20:11.990
And praise very clear in the bible.
00:20:12.057 --> 00:20:13.125
In the bible. and it's on chains
00:20:13.191 --> 00:20:15.560
And it's on chains and it has a holder.
00:20:15.627 --> 00:20:18.030
And it has a holder. and he took
00:20:18.096 --> 00:20:18.530
And he took that sensor and god said,
00:20:18.597 --> 00:20:21.466
That sensor and god said, "go stand,"
00:20:21.533 --> 00:20:22.434
"go stand," listen to the wording.
00:20:22.501 --> 00:20:23.702
Listen to the wording. "go stand between
00:20:23.769 --> 00:20:25.003
"go stand between the living and the dead."
00:20:25.070 --> 00:20:30.676
The living and the dead." there's a plague breaking out,
00:20:30.742 --> 00:20:32.010
There's a plague breaking out, thousands are perishing.
00:20:32.077 --> 00:20:33.912
Thousands are perishing. hell is enlarging itself.
00:20:33.979 --> 00:20:35.614
Hell is enlarging itself. they're dying.
00:20:35.681 --> 00:20:37.783
They're dying. and the bible said,
00:20:37.849 --> 00:20:39.318
And the bible said, "and he ran."
00:20:39.384 --> 00:20:45.023
"and he ran." aaron, that sounds urgent,
00:20:45.090 --> 00:20:47.592
Aaron, that sounds urgent, doesn't it?
00:20:47.659 --> 00:20:49.127
Doesn't it? he didn't take his time.
00:20:49.194 --> 00:20:50.996
He didn't take his time. he wasn't lackadaisical
00:20:51.063 --> 00:20:52.431
He wasn't lackadaisical and casual about it.
00:20:52.497 --> 00:20:53.932
And casual about it. he took the sensor and he ran.
00:20:53.999 --> 00:20:58.136
He took the sensor and he ran. and here comes death,
00:20:58.203 --> 00:20:59.571
And here comes death, here comes destruction,
00:20:59.638 --> 00:21:01.173
Here comes destruction, here comes the prince
00:21:01.239 --> 00:21:02.307
Here comes the prince of darkness destroying lives,
00:21:02.374 --> 00:21:04.109

Families, children, little babies, teenagers.

Little babies, teenagers. they're all dying.
00:21:07.412 --> 00:21:08.747
They're all dying. and he stands between
00:21:08.814 --> 00:21:10.382
And he stands between the dead and the living,
00:21:10.449 --> 00:21:12.317
The dead and the living, and he starts swinging that
00:21:12.384 --> 00:21:13.852
And he starts swinging that sensor and the plague
00:21:13.919 --> 00:21:18.757

To fortified schools,
00:25:07.986 --> 00:25:09.654
Bomb shelters and fire stations
00:25:09.754 --> 00:25:11.389
In the eshkol region.
00:25:11.489 --> 00:25:13.491
When october 7th attack struck,
00:25:13.592 --> 00:25:15.994
These projects saved
00:25:16.094 --> 00:25:17.529
Countless lives.
00:25:17.629 --> 00:25:19.864
>> i still remember it
00:25:20.365 --> 00:25:21.066
>> i still remember it like it was yesterday.
00:25:21.132 --> 00:25:22.033
Like it was yesterday. picking up my little baby
00:25:22.100 --> 00:25:23.168
Picking up my little baby and running to the safe room,
00:25:23.234 --> 00:25:25.270
And running to the safe room, feeling like any second
00:25:25.337 --> 00:25:26.471
Feeling like any second a rocket's gonna fall on us.
00:25:26.538 --> 00:25:28.573
A rocket's gonna fall on us. it's a sound that i can still
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:30.976
Close my eyes and i hear it,
00:25:31.076 --> 00:25:32.877
Close my eyes and i hear it, in my sleep -- you don't
00:25:32.944 --> 00:25:35.747
In my sleep -- you don't forget something like this.
00:25:35.814 --> 00:25:37.449
Hovering over her
00:25:37.549 --> 00:25:38.350
Hovering over her in the safe room
00:25:38.416 --> 00:25:39.150
In the safe room and just feeling like
00:25:39.217 --> 00:25:40.418
And just feeling like any second something
00:25:40.485 --> 00:25:41.319
Any second something is gonna happen.
00:25:41.386 --> 00:25:43.521
Is gonna happen. but having that reassurance
00:25:43.588 --> 00:25:44.623
But having that reassurance that we have that safe room --
00:25:44.689 --> 00:25:46.291
That we have that safe room -- i mean, a rocket fall
00:25:46.358 --> 00:25:47.425
I mean, a rocket fall right outside of our house
00:25:47.492 --> 00:25:48.760
Right outside of our house and the shrapnel destroyed
00:25:48.827 --> 00:25:50.729
And the shrapnel destroyed many things that
00:25:50.795 --> 00:25:51.329
Many things that were in our room,
00:25:51.396 --> 00:25:52.030
Were in our room, the place that
00:25:52.097 --> 00:25:52.530
The place that we just ran from.
00:25:52.597 --> 00:25:54.866
We just ran from. if it wasn't for
00:25:54.933 --> 00:25:55.834
If it wasn't for pastor jentezen franklin,
00:25:55.900 --> 00:25:58.236
Pastor jentezen franklin, we, our whole community
00:25:58.303 --> 00:26:00.672
We, our whole community wouldn't come back.
00:26:00.739 --> 00:26:02.040
Wouldn't come back. we really, we thank you so much.
00:26:02.107 --> 00:26:04.175
>> over the next year,
00:26:05.343 --> 00:26:06.411
Our mission is to complete
00:26:06.511 --> 00:26:07.746
The civil defense centers
00:26:07.846 --> 00:26:09.180
And safe houses in eshkol,
00:26:09.280 --> 00:26:11.249
Which are life lines
00:26:11.349 --> 00:26:12.350
For families
00:26:12.450 --> 00:26:13.118
When emergencies arise.
00:26:13.218 --> 00:26:15.020
Now that the hostages
00:26:15.120 --> 00:26:16.021
Have returned home,
00:26:16.121 --> 00:26:17.622
It's the time to bring healing
00:26:17.722 --> 00:26:19.357
For the people of israel.
00:26:19.457 --> 00:26:21.192
We'll be completing
00:26:21.292 --> 00:26:21.993
The eshkol resilience center
00:26:22.093 --> 00:26:23.928
To help with mental health
00:26:24.029 --> 00:26:25.463
From the trauma
00:26:25.563 --> 00:26:26.097
Of the last two years.
00:26:26.197 --> 00:26:27.866
Therapy sessions
00:26:27.966 --> 00:26:28.466

00:26:28.566 --> 00:26:29.634
And lives are being put
00:26:29.734 --> 00:26:30.835
Back together thanks to you.
00:26:30.935 --> 00:26:32.671
>> together, we're rebuilding
00:26:33.405 --> 00:26:35.140
What was broken, restoring hope,
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:37.542
And declaring that the light
00:26:37.642 --> 00:26:38.777
Will always overcome
00:26:38.877 --> 00:26:40.245
The darkness.
