This story because i believe it's a powerful lesson.
00:05:05.419 --> 00:05:08.255
It's a powerful lesson. you hear a lot in the media
00:05:08.322 --> 00:05:09.223
You hear a lot in the media today about controlling
00:05:09.289 --> 00:05:11.291
Today about controlling the narrative.
00:05:11.358 --> 00:05:12.092
The narrative. you hear it in politics,
00:05:12.159 --> 00:05:13.494

Even in controversies and crisis.
00:05:17.965 --> 00:05:19.400
And crisis. whoever controls the narrative,
00:05:19.466 --> 00:05:21.535
Whoever controls the narrative, controls the outcome.
00:05:21.602 --> 00:05:22.970
Controls the outcome. that's the thought.
00:05:23.036 --> 00:05:24.037
That's the thought. that's what people believe.
00:05:24.104 --> 00:05:26.006
That's what people believe. if you keep saying it,
00:05:26.073 --> 00:05:27.441
If you keep saying it, doesn't matter what
00:05:27.508 --> 00:05:28.175
Doesn't matter what the truth is,
00:05:28.242 --> 00:05:29.743
The truth is, just control the narrative,
00:05:29.810 --> 00:05:31.445
Just control the narrative, and you will control
00:05:31.512 --> 00:05:33.313
And you will control the outcome.
00:05:33.380 --> 00:05:35.416
The outcome. and in this story,
00:05:35.482 --> 00:05:37.251
And in this story, it's like ben-hadad,
00:05:37.317 --> 00:05:40.087
It's like ben-hadad, this evil syrian king
00:05:40.154 --> 00:05:42.222
This evil syrian king and his army links up with
00:05:42.289 --> 00:05:44.158
And his army links up with 32 other kings because he had
00:05:44.224 --> 00:05:48.028
32 other kings because he had tried to conquer israel before.
00:05:48.095 --> 00:05:49.963
Tried to conquer israel before. you read it again and again,
00:05:50.030 --> 00:05:51.432
You read it again and again, and yet again it says
00:05:51.498 --> 00:05:52.866
And yet again it says and yet again,
00:05:52.933 --> 00:05:53.767
And yet again, they came against israel,
00:05:53.834 --> 00:05:56.036
They came against israel, and he couldn't defeat them.
00:05:56.103 --> 00:05:57.237
And he couldn't defeat them. but this time was different
00:05:57.304 --> 00:05:58.572
But this time was different because he hired 32
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.407
Because he hired 32 different nations, their kings,
00:06:00.474 --> 00:06:02.976
Different nations, their kings, and their armies against
00:06:03.043 --> 00:06:04.745
And their armies against one group of farmers,
00:06:04.812 --> 00:06:09.650
One group of farmers, the israelites.
00:06:09.716 --> 00:06:11.285
The israelites. and it was because ben-hadad
00:06:11.351 --> 00:06:13.487
And it was because ben-hadad knew the power of their god
00:06:13.554 --> 00:06:16.590
Knew the power of their god and he thought,
00:06:16.657 --> 00:06:17.057
And he thought, "this time because
00:06:17.124 --> 00:06:18.125
"this time because i've got 32 kings and their
00:06:18.192 --> 00:06:20.127
I've got 32 kings and their armies plus my own army,
00:06:20.194 --> 00:06:22.196
Armies plus my own army, they do not have a chance.
00:06:22.262 --> 00:06:24.498
They do not have a chance. their back is against the wall,
00:06:24.565 --> 00:06:26.066
Their back is against the wall, i'm going to destroy them."
00:06:26.133 --> 00:06:27.734
I'm going to destroy them." the reason you face great
00:06:27.801 --> 00:06:29.503
The reason you face great resistance is because
00:06:29.570 --> 00:06:32.239
Resistance is because the devil knows who you are.

And you see no reason to keep hoping and keep believing.

Hoping and keep believing. that's what the enemy
00:07:38.805 --> 00:07:39.740
That's what the enemy wants to do.
00:07:39.806 --> 00:07:41.575
Wants to do. ahab had his back

Steal, and destroy according to john 10:10.
00:08:45.739 --> 00:08:47.808
According to john 10:10. that's all he's after.
00:08:47.874 --> 00:08:49.176
That's all he's after. it may be pleasure for a moment,
00:08:49.242 --> 00:08:51.912
It may be pleasure for a moment, but ultimately, he comes to
00:08:51.979 --> 00:08:53.880
But ultimately, he comes to kill, steal, and destroy.
00:08:53.947 --> 00:08:57.451
Kill, steal, and destroy. that's hell's agenda.
00:08:57.517 --> 00:08:59.853
That's hell's agenda. the devil keeps pushing
00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:01.622
The devil keeps pushing for more, and more.
00:09:01.688 --> 00:09:03.490
For more, and more. "i want every precious

Everything you like." and there's that moment
00:09:15.702 --> 00:09:17.371
And there's that moment when the elders spoke
00:09:17.437 --> 00:09:19.606
When the elders spoke to ahab with such
00:09:19.673 --> 00:09:21.008
To ahab with such authority that they said,
00:09:21.074 --> 00:09:22.576
Authority that they said, "don't consent."

Haven't stood up." and there comes that
00:09:30.717 --> 00:09:31.618
And there comes that moment when the whole narrative
00:09:31.685 --> 00:09:33.720
Moment when the whole narrative of the story changes because
00:09:33.787 --> 00:09:35.722
Of the story changes because if you change the narrative,
00:09:35.789 --> 00:09:37.324
If you change the narrative, you change the outcome.
00:09:37.391 --> 00:09:40.794
You change the outcome. so many of us just sit back
00:09:40.861 --> 00:09:42.429
So many of us just sit back and let the enemy attack,
00:09:42.496 --> 00:09:43.864
And let the enemy attack, and we think we are helpless,
00:09:43.930 --> 00:09:45.265
And we think we are helpless, and that's just how it goes,
00:09:45.332 --> 00:09:46.667
And that's just how it goes, and we don't have any say so.

One hundred and sixteen times jesus said,
00:10:19.166 --> 00:10:20.701
Times jesus said, "but i say unto you."
00:10:20.767 --> 00:10:24.271
"but i say unto you." he knew when he came
00:10:24.337 --> 00:10:25.272
He knew when he came into the world, the devil
00:10:25.338 --> 00:10:26.640
Into the world, the devil in the garden of eden
00:10:26.707 --> 00:10:28.008
In the garden of eden had captured the narrative
00:10:28.075 --> 00:10:29.776
Had captured the narrative and he was in control
00:10:29.843 --> 00:10:31.678
And he was in control and he said, "death,"
00:10:31.745 --> 00:10:33.046
And he said, "death," he said, "steal,"
00:10:33.113 --> 00:10:34.081
He said, "steal," he said, "kill," and man was --
00:10:34.147 --> 00:10:36.550
He said, "kill," and man was -- just had to go along.
00:10:36.616 --> 00:10:37.751
Just had to go along. but jesus said, "i am here now,
00:10:37.818 --> 00:10:40.520
But jesus said, "i am here now, and the word has become flesh
00:10:40.587 --> 00:10:43.557
And the word has become flesh and i'm dwelling among you."
00:10:43.623 --> 00:10:45.025
And i'm dwelling among you." and the enemy says
00:10:45.092 --> 00:10:46.426
And the enemy says you're defeated and you're --
00:10:46.493 --> 00:10:49.329
You're defeated and you're -- and you don't have a hope
00:10:49.396 --> 00:10:50.297

You're watching me on television and the enemy said,

And then, he's going through saying,
00:12:18.485 --> 00:12:19.085
Through saying, "i'm gon' take the pleasure
00:12:19.152 --> 00:12:20.287
"i'm gon' take the pleasure and the joy out of life,
00:12:20.353 --> 00:12:21.955
And the joy out of life, i'm gonna make you

[applause] because the prophet showed up
00:12:49.683 --> 00:12:51.384
Because the prophet showed up with a word from the lord
00:12:51.451 --> 00:12:52.819
With a word from the lord in the text that i read,
00:12:52.886 --> 00:12:55.222
In the text that i read, and that word is still alive

I like what ahab -- something hit him.
00:13:13.273 --> 00:13:15.041
Something hit him. something came all over him.
00:13:15.108 --> 00:13:16.543
Something came all over him. you know, there's two kinds
00:13:16.610 --> 00:13:17.677
You know, there's two kinds of fighters.
00:13:17.744 --> 00:13:18.311
Of fighters. there's, like, people who train
00:13:18.378 --> 00:13:19.846
There's, like, people who train and they do mma, and judo,
00:13:19.913 --> 00:13:23.250
And they do mma, and judo, and karate, and they are ready.
00:13:23.316 --> 00:13:26.486
And karate, and they are ready. i mean, they are planned.
00:13:26.553 --> 00:13:27.687
I mean, they are planned. they've been waiting on this
00:13:27.754 --> 00:13:28.555
They've been waiting on this day their whole life.
00:13:28.622 --> 00:13:29.522
Day their whole life. they go into kung fu mode
00:13:29.589 --> 00:13:31.791
They go into kung fu mode and they're ready to go.

And they're ready to go. and then, there's those

And then, there's those people who they don't
00:13:34.327 --> 00:13:36.630
People who they don't work out much, they --
00:13:36.696 --> 00:13:38.598
Work out much, they -- but if you don't watch it,
00:13:38.665 --> 00:13:41.968
But if you don't watch it, sometimes you can catch 'em
00:13:42.035 --> 00:13:43.470
Sometimes you can catch 'em on the wrong day.
00:13:43.536 --> 00:13:44.671
On the wrong day. i'm one of those people.
00:13:44.738 --> 00:13:46.973
I'm one of those people. i will run any day.

But there are days -- i don't even wanna
00:13:55.982 --> 00:13:57.984
I don't even wanna tell the story that
00:13:58.051 --> 00:13:58.752
Tell the story that keeps coming to my mind.
00:13:58.818 --> 00:14:00.153
Keeps coming to my mind. but when my little boy, drake,
00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:01.221
But when my little boy, drake, was about that big and he was

A man out on the field that was on the other team,

Was on the other team, and he grabbed my son
00:14:09.663 --> 00:14:11.331
And he grabbed my son and jerked him and shook him
00:14:11.398 --> 00:14:14.301
And jerked him and shook him like that by his shoulder pads,
00:14:14.367 --> 00:14:15.902
Like that by his shoulder pads, and he wasn't his coach.
00:14:15.969 --> 00:14:17.404
And he wasn't his coach. he's just shaking him.
00:14:17.470 --> 00:14:18.838
He's just shaking him. something came over me.

I jumped over the fence. it was like slow motion.
00:14:24.611 --> 00:14:25.979
It was like slow motion. i was running through the field,
00:14:26.046 --> 00:14:29.082
I was running through the field, "get your hands off my boy!"
00:14:29.149 --> 00:14:35.922
"get your hands off my boy!" and thank god one of our members
00:14:35.989 --> 00:14:38.224

00:14:40.560 --> 00:14:41.828
And he ran across and grabbed me and said,
00:14:41.895 --> 00:14:43.263
And grabbed me and said, "hold on, pastor."
00:14:43.330 --> 00:14:44.764
"hold on, pastor." [laughter]

And i snapped back to who i am.
00:14:47.801 --> 00:14:51.438
To who i am. we were gon' fight.
00:14:51.504 --> 00:14:52.138
We were gon' fight. it was going down
00:14:52.205 --> 00:14:53.506
It was going down right there on that field.
00:14:53.573 --> 00:14:55.308
Right there on that field. and that's how we ought
00:14:55.375 --> 00:14:56.576
And that's how we ought to feel when the enemy says,
00:14:56.643 --> 00:14:58.979
To feel when the enemy says, "i'm gonna destroy your
00:14:59.045 --> 00:15:00.513
"i'm gonna destroy your children and your family."
00:15:00.580 --> 00:15:03.249
Children and your family." because this battle

So now you got a decision. are you gonna let hell

Are you gonna let hell control the narrative?
00:15:41.488 --> 00:15:43.456
Control the narrative? because hell is gonna
00:15:43.523 --> 00:15:44.124
Because hell is gonna tell you what to say.
00:15:44.190 --> 00:15:46.292
Tell you what to say. "just give up.
00:15:46.359 --> 00:15:47.927

Just know there's no hope, and people die."
00:15:51.631 --> 00:15:52.866
And people die." and so, god doesn't
00:15:52.932 --> 00:15:54.534
And so, god doesn't heal anymore,
00:15:54.601 --> 00:15:55.535

So just give up." or you can say,
00:16:01.241 --> 00:16:02.976
Or you can say, "devil, you cannot
00:16:03.043 --> 00:16:04.310
"devil, you cannot threaten me with heaven."
00:16:04.377 --> 00:16:09.015
Threaten me with heaven." are you crazy?
00:16:09.082 --> 00:16:12.452
Are you crazy? "what if you die?"
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:13.153
"what if you die?" what if i do?
00:16:13.219 --> 00:16:13.953
What if i do? it's called

It's called a shortcut to heaven.
00:16:14.521 --> 00:16:17.157
A shortcut to heaven. nothing can separate me
00:16:17.223 --> 00:16:19.059
Nothing can separate me from the love of god.
00:16:19.125 --> 00:16:20.860
From the love of god. and so, i will, until my last
00:16:20.927 --> 00:16:22.996
And so, i will, until my last breath, say things like,
00:16:23.063 --> 00:16:25.432
Breath, say things like, "by his stripes i'm healed."
00:16:25.498 --> 00:16:28.068
"by his stripes i'm healed." and when people ask me
00:16:28.134 --> 00:16:28.835
And when people ask me to pray for 'em,
00:16:28.902 --> 00:16:29.569
To pray for 'em, i don't care what

Condition they're in. if i'm coming, i'm gonna

If i'm coming, i'm gonna lay my hands and say,

Lay my hands and say, "lord, i commit 'em to you,

"lord, i commit 'em to you, but i'm praying that

But i'm praying that you'll heal 'em.
00:16:37.977 --> 00:16:38.778
You'll heal 'em. either heal 'em
00:16:38.845 --> 00:16:39.646
Either heal 'em in this room or take 'em
00:16:39.712 --> 00:16:42.215
In this room or take 'em to heaven and heal 'em,
00:16:42.282 --> 00:16:43.817
To heaven and heal 'em, but no more suffering."
00:16:43.883 --> 00:16:44.884
But no more suffering." and i'm gon' tell you what,
00:16:44.951 --> 00:16:46.619
And i'm gon' tell you what, god is still a healer
00:16:46.686 --> 00:16:48.455

You better learn not to let the enemy just keep coming
00:16:55.195 --> 00:16:57.097
The enemy just keep coming and attacking your mind,
00:16:57.163 --> 00:16:58.431
And attacking your mind, your body, your family,
00:16:58.498 --> 00:17:00.100
Your body, your family, and you have no resistance.

And you have no resistance. you control the narrative.
00:17:01.835 --> 00:17:05.405
You control the narrative. the bible said in proverbs 18,
00:17:05.472 --> 00:17:07.207
The bible said in proverbs 18, "life and death are in
00:17:07.273 --> 00:17:08.641
"life and death are in the power of your tongue,
00:17:08.708 --> 00:17:10.577
The power of your tongue, and you eat the fruit thereof."
00:17:10.643 --> 00:17:16.416
And you eat the fruit thereof." somebody's in the storm
00:17:16.483 --> 00:17:17.450
Somebody's in the storm of your life, you're ready to
00:17:17.517 --> 00:17:19.686
Of your life, you're ready to throw up your hands and quit,

Throw up your hands and quit, you're already negotiating
00:17:21.521 --> 00:17:22.655
You're already negotiating the surrender.
00:17:22.722 --> 00:17:26.459
The surrender. but the lord has
00:17:26.526 --> 00:17:27.160
But the lord has sent me today to tell you,

Victory has a voice. and it wasn't until that
00:17:32.866 --> 00:17:33.733
And it wasn't until that king began to use his voice
00:17:33.800 --> 00:17:35.935
King began to use his voice to proclaim victory that
00:17:36.002 --> 00:17:38.004

00:17:38.071 --> 00:17:39.772
The battle started turning. these stories were written for
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:41.941
These stories were written for our learning, the bible said.
00:17:42.008 --> 00:17:43.776
Our learning, the bible said. we're supposed to react like god
00:17:43.843 --> 00:17:46.746
We're supposed to react like god shows us in the scripture.
00:17:46.813 --> 00:17:48.481
Shows us in the scripture. and victory doesn't come
00:17:48.548 --> 00:17:50.984
And victory doesn't come until we understand that
00:17:51.050 --> 00:17:53.186
Until we understand that victory has a voice.
00:17:53.253 --> 00:17:58.992

What the bible says. if you're barely hanging on

If you're barely hanging on and you're in a bad place,
00:18:04.430 --> 00:18:06.599
And you're in a bad place, there's a scripture
00:18:06.666 --> 00:18:07.333
There's a scripture in the bible that says,
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:08.368
In the bible that says, "now thanks be unto god
00:18:08.434 --> 00:18:09.969
"now thanks be unto god who always gives us
00:18:10.036 --> 00:18:12.872
Who always gives us the victory in every place."
00:18:12.939 --> 00:18:17.210

Does that mean i'm not suffering?
00:18:21.247 --> 00:18:21.881
I'm not suffering? does that mean i won't
00:18:21.948 --> 00:18:22.849
Does that mean i won't ever go through pain?
00:18:22.916 --> 00:18:23.716
Ever go through pain? i won't ever go through attacks?
00:18:23.783 --> 00:18:24.951
I won't ever go through attacks? i won't go through loss?

I won't go through loss? i won't go through

I won't go through any negative stuff?
00:18:26.553 --> 00:18:27.187
Any negative stuff? no.

Who always gives us the victory in every place."

The victory in every place." what does that mean?
00:18:37.897 --> 00:18:38.865
What does that mean? that means it doesn't matter
00:18:38.932 --> 00:18:40.266
That means it doesn't matter where i find myself,
00:18:40.333 --> 00:18:41.668
Where i find myself, it doesn't matter what happens
00:18:41.734 --> 00:18:43.636
It doesn't matter what happens to me and my family,
00:18:43.703 --> 00:18:46.039
To me and my family, god still has promised victory,
00:18:46.105 --> 00:18:48.708
God still has promised victory, and we are to put a voice
00:18:48.775 --> 00:18:51.811
And we are to put a voice to that victory.
00:18:51.878 --> 00:18:53.379

Poised to provide a lifeline
00:25:25.938 --> 00:25:27.239
For the people of eshkol,
