To kingdom connection. i'm so glad you joined us,
00:00:08.050 --> 00:00:09.518
I'm so glad you joined us, especially if you're walking
00:00:09.585 --> 00:00:10.886
Especially if you're walking through a season
00:00:10.953 --> 00:00:12.221
Through a season where it feels like
00:00:12.288 --> 00:00:13.089
Where it feels like everything is against you.
00:00:13.155 --> 00:00:14.890
Everything is against you. i've been there.
00:00:14.957 --> 00:00:15.591
I've been there. i'm sure you have too.
00:00:15.658 --> 00:00:17.660
I'm sure you have too. you're not alone.
00:00:17.726 --> 00:00:18.894
You're not alone. we have all walked through
00:00:18.961 --> 00:00:20.863
We have all walked through dark days and we needed
00:00:20.930 --> 00:00:23.232
Dark days and we needed desperately to hear from god.
00:00:23.299 --> 00:00:25.101
Desperately to hear from god. i believe just like
00:00:25.167 --> 00:00:25.901
I believe just like shadrach, meshach, and abednego,
00:00:25.968 --> 00:00:28.003
Shadrach, meshach, and abednego, daniel, david, all of these
00:00:28.070 --> 00:00:30.239
Daniel, david, all of these bible characters went through
00:00:30.306 --> 00:00:31.941
Bible characters went through something that seemed
00:00:32.007 --> 00:00:33.275
Something that seemed to be against them,
00:00:33.342 --> 00:00:35.111
To be against them, that seemed to be opposing them,
00:00:35.177 --> 00:00:37.413
That seemed to be opposing them, but god was right there
00:00:37.480 --> 00:00:39.315
But god was right there turning what was against them
00:00:39.381 --> 00:00:41.484
Turning what was against them into something that he would
00:00:41.550 --> 00:00:43.419
Into something that he would use our god to work
00:00:43.486 --> 00:00:45.688
Use our god to work for their good.
00:00:45.754 --> 00:00:46.655
For their good. that's what today's

They will be against you. but when you're surrounded

But when you're surrounded with what's against you,

Is against you. they'll throw you into the fire.

They'll throw you into the fire. and we preachers, we say that
00:05:03.379 --> 00:05:06.648
And we preachers, we say that they were dancing with
00:05:06.715 --> 00:05:09.385
They were dancing with the fourth man in the fire
00:05:09.451 --> 00:05:11.153
The fourth man in the fire because you know the story,
00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:12.087
Because you know the story, when they got in there,
00:05:12.154 --> 00:05:13.956
When they got in there, the fire didn't burn them,
00:05:14.022 --> 00:05:15.157
The fire didn't burn them, neither was there
00:05:15.224 --> 00:05:15.858
Neither was there the smell of smoke.
00:05:15.924 --> 00:05:16.692
The smell of smoke. but the scripture
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:17.659
But the scripture said that no one,
00:05:17.726 --> 00:05:20.462
Said that no one, i couldn't find anywhere
00:05:20.529 --> 00:05:21.663
I couldn't find anywhere where shadrach, meshach,
00:05:21.730 --> 00:05:23.432
Where shadrach, meshach, and abednego ever saw
00:05:23.499 --> 00:05:25.467
And abednego ever saw the fourth man in the fire
00:05:25.534 --> 00:05:27.035
The fourth man in the fire when they were in the fire.
00:05:27.102 --> 00:05:29.538
When they were in the fire. the bible said the king looked
00:05:29.605 --> 00:05:31.373
The bible said the king looked in at some of god's servants
00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:34.743
In at some of god's servants going through a fiery furnace.
00:05:34.810 --> 00:05:37.479
Going through a fiery furnace. and when the ungodly king
00:05:37.546 --> 00:05:39.848
And when the ungodly king looked in, he said,
00:05:39.915 --> 00:05:42.251
Looked in, he said, "i'm looking through
00:05:42.317 --> 00:05:42.885
"i'm looking through my binoculars,"
00:05:42.951 --> 00:05:43.752
My binoculars," i'm preaching it
00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:44.486
I'm preaching it like i want to,
00:05:44.553 --> 00:05:45.387
Like i want to, and he's looking and he says,
00:05:45.454 --> 00:05:47.089
And he's looking and he says, "i know i put three in the fire
00:05:47.156 --> 00:05:50.559
"i know i put three in the fire that were bound and i see
00:05:50.626 --> 00:05:52.261
That were bound and i see 1, 2, 3, 4 loosed."
00:05:52.327 --> 00:05:57.666
1, 2, 3, 4 loosed." but they never saw him.
00:05:57.733 --> 00:05:59.268
But they never saw him. we're never told shadrach,
00:05:59.334 --> 00:06:00.636
We're never told shadrach, meshach, and abednego saw
00:06:00.702 --> 00:06:03.238
Meshach, and abednego saw the fourth man,
00:06:03.305 --> 00:06:04.339
The fourth man, because sometimes you
00:06:04.406 --> 00:06:05.541
Because sometimes you can be going through
00:06:05.607 --> 00:06:06.608
Can be going through the fiery furnace in the place
00:06:06.675 --> 00:06:08.277
The fiery furnace in the place of against and you don't feel
00:06:08.343 --> 00:06:10.679
Of against and you don't feel god and you don't see god,
00:06:10.746 --> 00:06:12.648
God and you don't see god, but the fourth man
00:06:12.714 --> 00:06:13.549
But the fourth man is in the fire.
00:06:13.615 --> 00:06:15.284
Is in the fire. three plus fire equals four.
00:06:15.350 --> 00:06:20.489
Three plus fire equals four. and the fourth man, you can't
00:06:20.556 --> 00:06:22.224
And the fourth man, you can't get to him sometimes until
00:06:22.291 --> 00:06:23.792
Get to him sometimes until you go through the fire.
00:06:23.859 --> 00:06:26.361
You go through the fire. and whatever you went in bound
00:06:26.428 --> 00:06:27.963
And whatever you went in bound by is going to be loosed.
00:06:28.030 --> 00:06:30.365
By is going to be loosed. all the fire's going to burn up
00:06:30.432 --> 00:06:32.301
All the fire's going to burn up what's been binding you.
00:06:32.367 --> 00:06:34.269
What's been binding you. because there's blessings,
00:06:34.336 --> 00:06:35.938
Because there's blessings, there's blessings in that place
00:06:36.004 --> 00:06:38.941
There's blessings in that place that's called against.
00:06:39.007 --> 00:06:41.477
That's called against. it's tough.
00:06:41.543 --> 00:06:42.377
It's tough. it's hard.
00:06:42.444 --> 00:06:44.112
It's hard. one time jesus told
00:06:44.179 --> 00:06:45.113
One time jesus told his disciples to get into
00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:46.515
His disciples to get into the boat and go out into
00:06:46.582 --> 00:06:49.051
The boat and go out into the ocean and he knew,
00:06:49.117 --> 00:06:50.619
The ocean and he knew, or go out into
00:06:50.686 --> 00:06:51.587
Or go out into the sea of galilee,
00:06:51.653 --> 00:06:52.688
The sea of galilee, and he knew that as
00:06:52.754 --> 00:06:54.423
And he knew that as they were crossing that
00:06:54.490 --> 00:06:55.424
They were crossing that massive lake that they
00:06:55.491 --> 00:06:56.492
Massive lake that they would encounter a storm.
00:06:56.558 --> 00:06:59.995
Would encounter a storm. it's where you feel
00:07:00.062 --> 00:07:00.963
It's where you feel everything's against you.
00:07:01.029 --> 00:07:02.931
Everything's against you. you know that jesus
00:07:02.998 --> 00:07:04.333
You know that jesus told you to do it,
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:05.367
Told you to do it, but everything is opposing you
00:07:05.434 --> 00:07:09.004
But everything is opposing you and trying to stop you.
00:07:09.071 --> 00:07:11.206
And trying to stop you. jesus wanted his disciples
00:07:11.273 --> 00:07:12.808
Jesus wanted his disciples to learn a valuable lesson
00:07:12.875 --> 00:07:14.843
To learn a valuable lesson that when god allows you
00:07:14.910 --> 00:07:16.812
That when god allows you to go through things,
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:17.713
To go through things, and this is what
00:07:17.779 --> 00:07:18.413
And this is what i'm preaching on,
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:19.281
I'm preaching on, when everything is against you,
00:07:19.348 --> 00:07:21.016
When everything is against you, god is for you.
00:07:21.083 --> 00:07:22.684
God is for you. and i'm going to prove that
00:07:22.751 --> 00:07:23.452
And i'm going to prove that to you through the scripture
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:24.920
To you through the scripture in just a moment.
00:07:24.987 --> 00:07:26.288
In just a moment. but many times
00:07:26.355 --> 00:07:26.989
But many times we need to understand
00:07:27.055 --> 00:07:28.924
We need to understand this valuable lesson,
00:07:28.991 --> 00:07:31.226
This valuable lesson, that what we perceive
00:07:31.293 --> 00:07:32.361
That what we perceive is against us is actually full
00:07:32.427 --> 00:07:36.231
Is against us is actually full and containing blessings that
00:07:36.298 --> 00:07:38.133
And containing blessings that we can't even imagine.
00:07:38.200 --> 00:07:39.968
We can't even imagine. we would never
00:07:40.035 --> 00:07:40.569
We would never choose to go through it.
00:07:40.636 --> 00:07:42.938
Choose to go through it. we'd never choose to voluntarily
00:07:43.005 --> 00:07:44.706
We'd never choose to voluntarily go to that place of against.
00:07:44.773 --> 00:07:47.342
Go to that place of against. but if god tells you to go
00:07:47.409 --> 00:07:49.211
But if god tells you to go and god leads you there,
00:07:49.278 --> 00:07:50.546
And god leads you there, it's because he's got something
00:07:50.612 --> 00:07:52.681
It's because he's got something that's tied up for you that
00:07:52.748 --> 00:07:54.182
That's tied up for you that nobody else can get and you
00:07:54.249 --> 00:07:56.385
Nobody else can get and you can't get to it until you
00:07:56.451 --> 00:07:58.120
Can't get to it until you go through against.
00:07:58.186 --> 00:08:02.724
Go through against. it's against you,
00:08:02.791 --> 00:08:03.425
It's against you, it's opposing you,
00:08:03.492 --> 00:08:06.361
It's opposing you, but there's
00:08:06.428 --> 00:08:07.095
But there's hidden treasure in it.
00:08:07.162 --> 00:08:09.064
Hidden treasure in it. he said, "i want you
00:08:09.131 --> 00:08:09.765
He said, "i want you to go to that place,
00:08:09.831 --> 00:08:11.166
To go to that place, and i've tied up a blessing.
00:08:11.233 --> 00:08:13.702
And i've tied up a blessing. i've tied up a colt upon which
00:08:13.769 --> 00:08:16.738
I've tied up a colt upon which a man has never rode before."
00:08:16.805 --> 00:08:19.341
A man has never rode before." in other words,
00:08:19.408 --> 00:08:20.175
In other words, i've got some brand new things
00:08:20.242 --> 00:08:22.945
I've got some brand new things that are coming out of what
00:08:23.011 --> 00:08:24.446
That are coming out of what you're going through that
00:08:24.513 --> 00:08:25.881
You're going through that feels like it's against you.
00:08:25.948 --> 00:08:28.150
Feels like it's against you. but this is what the bible says.
00:08:28.216 --> 00:08:29.585
But this is what the bible says. there's a guy in the bible
00:08:29.651 --> 00:08:31.219
There's a guy in the bible named jacob and he said
00:08:31.286 --> 00:08:32.321
Named jacob and he said in the book of genesis,
00:08:32.387 --> 00:08:33.322
In the book of genesis, i believe it's the 40th chapter,
00:08:33.388 --> 00:08:34.856
I believe it's the 40th chapter, he said, "everything is
00:08:34.923 --> 00:08:35.557
He said, "everything is against me."
00:08:35.624 --> 00:08:36.959
Against me." he said,
00:08:37.025 --> 00:08:37.426
He said, "everything is against me."
00:08:37.492 --> 00:08:38.827
"everything is against me." but then there's another guy
00:08:38.894 --> 00:08:40.095
But then there's another guy by the name of david and david
00:08:40.162 --> 00:08:41.930
By the name of david and david said in the scripture,
00:08:41.997 --> 00:08:43.498
Said in the scripture, "but god is for me."
00:08:43.565 --> 00:08:47.035
"but god is for me." there it is.
00:08:47.102 --> 00:08:47.502
There it is. he said, "i'm going through it,
00:08:47.569 --> 00:08:49.204
He said, "i'm going through it, i'm going through hell."
00:08:49.271 --> 00:08:50.405
I'm going through hell." but he said,
00:08:50.472 --> 00:08:51.406
But he said, "and god is bottling up
00:08:51.473 --> 00:08:52.708
"and god is bottling up all my tears because
00:08:52.774 --> 00:08:54.009
All my tears because all i'm doing is weeping,
00:08:54.076 --> 00:08:55.444
All i'm doing is weeping, i'm weeping, i'm weeping.
00:08:55.510 --> 00:08:56.645
I'm weeping, i'm weeping. he's bottling up my tears
00:08:56.712 --> 00:08:57.879
He's bottling up my tears and he's putting them in a book
00:08:57.946 --> 00:09:00.282
And he's putting them in a book and writing about them.
00:09:00.349 --> 00:09:01.216
And writing about them. but when i cry unto thee
00:09:01.283 --> 00:09:02.851
But when i cry unto thee and then shall mine enemies
00:09:02.918 --> 00:09:05.520
And then shall mine enemies turn back for this i know."
00:09:05.587 --> 00:09:07.956
Turn back for this i know." that's what you got to know.
00:09:08.023 --> 00:09:08.790
That's what you got to know. you got to get that
00:09:08.857 --> 00:09:09.558
You got to get that in your spirit.
00:09:09.625 --> 00:09:10.325
In your spirit. when everything is against you,
00:09:10.392 --> 00:09:12.761
When everything is against you, this is what i know,
00:09:12.828 --> 00:09:14.830
This is what i know, god is for me.
00:09:14.896 --> 00:09:16.732
God is for me. even if i messed up,
00:09:16.798 --> 00:09:18.467
Even if i messed up, even if i didn't listen to him,
00:09:18.533 --> 00:09:19.935
Even if i didn't listen to him, god never deserts you,
00:09:20.002 --> 00:09:22.104
God never deserts you, he never gives up on you.
00:09:22.170 --> 00:09:23.639
He never gives up on you. if you will earnestly
00:09:23.705 --> 00:09:24.640
If you will earnestly cry out to him,
00:09:24.706 --> 00:09:25.707
Cry out to him, now here comes the best part.
00:09:25.774 --> 00:09:27.309
Now here comes the best part. so, when everything's
00:09:27.376 --> 00:09:28.410
So, when everything's against me, number two,
00:09:28.477 --> 00:09:30.245
Against me, number two, god is for me.
00:09:30.312 --> 00:09:31.446
God is for me. number three,
00:09:31.513 --> 00:09:32.414
Number three, and here's how god
00:09:32.481 --> 00:09:33.715
And here's how god is for you, romans 8:28,
00:09:33.782 --> 00:09:37.519
Is for you, romans 8:28, "for we know that all things
00:09:37.586 --> 00:09:41.156
"for we know that all things work together for the good."
00:09:41.223 --> 00:09:42.524
Work together for the good." not just for anything
00:09:42.591 --> 00:09:43.425
Not just for anything and not for your good.
00:09:43.492 --> 00:09:44.626
And not for your good. he's not talking
00:09:44.693 --> 00:09:45.327
He's not talking about your good.
00:09:45.394 --> 00:09:46.395
About your good. he's not saying,
00:09:46.461 --> 00:09:47.329
He's not saying, oh, god's going to give me
00:09:47.396 --> 00:09:48.463
Oh, god's going to give me everything i want.
00:09:48.530 --> 00:09:49.297
Everything i want. that's not what he's saying.
00:09:49.364 --> 00:09:51.533
That's not what he's saying. "all things work together for
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.635
"all things work together for the good to them that love god."
00:09:53.702 --> 00:09:57.239
The good to them that love god." anybody love god in this place?
00:09:57.305 --> 00:09:59.741
Anybody love god in this place? see, i don't love him
00:09:59.808 --> 00:10:00.409
See, i don't love him when he blesses me.
00:10:00.475 --> 00:10:01.576
When he blesses me. i don't love him any more
00:10:01.643 --> 00:10:03.512
I don't love him any more when i'm high on blessing
00:10:03.578 --> 00:10:06.381
When i'm high on blessing than when i'm low going
00:10:06.448 --> 00:10:07.416
Than when i'm low going through the valley.
00:10:07.482 --> 00:10:08.383
Through the valley. my love actually is more.
00:10:08.450 --> 00:10:10.285
My love actually is more. i cling to him.
00:10:10.352 --> 00:10:11.353
I cling to him. i say my help
00:10:11.420 --> 00:10:12.554
I say my help comes from the lord.
00:10:12.621 --> 00:10:16.658
Comes from the lord. "and those who are called,"
00:10:16.725 --> 00:10:18.126
"and those who are called," the rest of the verse says,
00:10:18.193 --> 00:10:19.361
The rest of the verse says, "according to his purpose."
00:10:19.428 --> 00:10:22.831
"according to his purpose." in other words,
00:10:22.898 --> 00:10:23.331
In other words, if god is letting you
00:10:23.398 --> 00:10:24.766
If god is letting you go through and everything
00:10:24.833 --> 00:10:27.269
Go through and everything is coming against you,
00:10:27.335 --> 00:10:29.438
Is coming against you, everything's against me,
00:10:29.504 --> 00:10:31.940
Everything's against me, but you got to know in that
00:10:32.007 --> 00:10:33.041
But you got to know in that moment but god is for me.
00:10:33.108 --> 00:10:35.377
Moment but god is for me. and when he has tried me,
00:10:35.444 --> 00:10:36.978
And when he has tried me, i will come forth as pure gold
00:10:37.045 --> 00:10:38.747
I will come forth as pure gold because all these things in it,
00:10:38.814 --> 00:10:41.550
Because all these things in it, there is a tied up blessing.
00:10:41.616 --> 00:10:46.888
There is a tied up blessing. and it's a donkey that's never,
00:10:46.955 --> 00:10:49.758
And it's a donkey that's never, a man's never rode before,
00:10:49.825 --> 00:10:51.093
A man's never rode before, meaning there's a new experience
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:54.963
Meaning there's a new experience coming, new blessings coming.
00:10:55.030 --> 00:10:57.399
Coming, new blessings coming. and remember that donkey
00:10:57.466 --> 00:10:59.067
And remember that donkey was the one that jesus
00:10:59.134 --> 00:11:00.402
Was the one that jesus would ride into jerusalem
00:11:00.469 --> 00:11:02.137
Would ride into jerusalem and the people would shout
00:11:02.204 --> 00:11:03.538
And the people would shout and wave palm branches
00:11:03.605 --> 00:11:04.906
And wave palm branches as he was entering into
00:11:04.973 --> 00:11:06.775
As he was entering into the holy week where he would
00:11:06.842 --> 00:11:08.643
The holy week where he would die and be resurrected.
00:11:08.710 --> 00:11:11.279
Die and be resurrected. it all was dependent upon him
00:11:11.346 --> 00:11:14.015
It all was dependent upon him fulfilling a prophecy
00:11:14.082 --> 00:11:15.517
Fulfilling a prophecy in the book of zechariah
00:11:15.584 --> 00:11:16.885
In the book of zechariah that riding on a colt
00:11:16.952 --> 00:11:18.820
That riding on a colt or a foal he will come,
00:11:18.887 --> 00:11:21.957
Or a foal he will come, and upon which a man
00:11:22.023 --> 00:11:23.558
And upon which a man has never rode.
00:11:23.625 --> 00:11:24.192
Has never rode. he was fulfilling a prophecy
00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:26.261
He was fulfilling a prophecy that was prophesied thousands
00:11:26.328 --> 00:11:28.296
That was prophesied thousands of years, hundreds of years,
00:11:28.363 --> 00:11:29.631
Of years, hundreds of years, certainly maybe 1,500 years
00:11:29.698 --> 00:11:31.533
Certainly maybe 1,500 years before he was even born,
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.502
Before he was even born, jesus was, that prophecy
00:11:33.568 --> 00:11:35.704
Jesus was, that prophecy was being fulfilled.
00:11:35.771 --> 00:11:37.072
Was being fulfilled. in other words,
00:11:37.139 --> 00:11:37.739
In other words, i want you to understand,
00:11:37.806 --> 00:11:39.207
I want you to understand, sometimes god lets you...
00:11:39.274 --> 00:11:40.809
Sometimes god lets you... and can you hear
00:11:40.876 --> 00:11:41.810
And can you hear the people screaming?
00:11:41.877 --> 00:11:43.044
The people screaming? "hosanna, praise, praise.
00:11:43.111 --> 00:11:45.180
"hosanna, praise, praise. blessed is he who comes
00:11:45.247 --> 00:11:46.148
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord.
00:11:46.214 --> 00:11:47.182
In the name of the lord. hosanna."
00:11:47.249 --> 00:11:47.783
Hosanna." and they were crying
00:11:47.849 --> 00:11:48.917
And they were crying and throwing their coats down
00:11:48.984 --> 00:11:50.152
And throwing their coats down for that donkey to walk over
00:11:50.218 --> 00:11:51.620
For that donkey to walk over that was carrying jesus.
00:11:51.686 --> 00:11:52.988
That was carrying jesus. sometimes god will let you
00:11:53.054 --> 00:11:54.689
Sometimes god will let you go through a season when
00:11:54.756 --> 00:11:56.158
Go through a season when everything is against you.
00:11:56.224 --> 00:11:57.526
Everything is against you. he sent them to against to untie
00:11:57.592 --> 00:12:02.063
He sent them to against to untie the colt that would literally
00:12:02.130 --> 00:12:04.666
The colt that would literally take jesus to his eternal
00:12:04.733 --> 00:12:07.736
Take jesus to his eternal purpose and place of destiny,
00:12:07.803 --> 00:12:10.539
Purpose and place of destiny, the cross and calvary
00:12:10.605 --> 00:12:12.908
The cross and calvary and the resurrection in
00:12:12.974 --> 00:12:14.543
And the resurrection in the tomb and the ascension
00:12:14.609 --> 00:12:16.812
The tomb and the ascension to the right hand of the father.
00:12:16.878 --> 00:12:19.214
To the right hand of the father. it was all tied, in other words.
00:12:19.281 --> 00:12:22.284
It was all tied, in other words. and the people when he was
00:12:22.350 --> 00:12:23.285
And the people when he was riding started praising.
00:12:23.351 --> 00:12:25.053
Riding started praising. god will get praise out
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.155
God will get praise out of what he allows you to go
00:12:27.222 --> 00:12:29.157
Of what he allows you to go through that comes against
00:12:29.224 --> 00:12:30.392
Through that comes against you when you don't quit
00:12:30.458 --> 00:12:31.960
You when you don't quit and you will say there's
00:12:32.027 --> 00:12:33.161
And you will say there's a blessing in this.
00:12:33.228 --> 00:12:35.163
A blessing in this. people are watching
00:12:35.230 --> 00:12:38.400
People are watching and god is watching.
00:12:38.466 --> 00:12:41.603
And god is watching. tell somebody i found
00:12:41.670 --> 00:12:42.771
Tell somebody i found blessing in against.
00:12:42.838 --> 00:12:45.707
Blessing in against. if i were to take
00:12:45.774 --> 00:12:46.374
If i were to take this microphone and go
00:12:46.441 --> 00:12:47.475
This microphone and go around this room,
00:12:47.542 --> 00:12:48.777
Around this room, i could interview people
00:12:48.844 --> 00:12:49.811
I could interview people all over this building
00:12:49.878 --> 00:12:50.679
All over this building and they'd say,
00:12:50.745 --> 00:12:51.446
And they'd say, "i thought it was
00:12:51.513 --> 00:12:52.414
"i thought it was the end of my life.
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:53.081
The end of my life. i thought that
00:12:53.148 --> 00:12:53.849
I thought that i lost everything.
00:12:53.915 --> 00:12:54.816
I lost everything. i went bankrupt.
00:12:54.883 --> 00:12:56.017
I went bankrupt. i went through a divorce.
00:12:56.084 --> 00:12:57.552
I went through a divorce. i'm telling you i thought
00:12:57.619 --> 00:12:58.687
I'm telling you i thought that was it.
00:12:58.753 --> 00:12:59.254
That was it. i went through this.
00:12:59.321 --> 00:13:00.155
I went through this. i went through that.
00:13:00.222 --> 00:13:01.022
I went through that. i had cancer
00:13:01.089 --> 00:13:03.124
I had cancer or i'm going through it."
00:13:03.191 --> 00:13:04.693
Or i'm going through it." and we don't deny
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:06.628
And we don't deny the fact that life is,
00:13:06.695 --> 00:13:08.496
The fact that life is, most of life is against.
00:13:08.563 --> 00:13:10.532
Most of life is against. you live it in a place
00:13:10.599 --> 00:13:11.700
You live it in a place called against.
00:13:11.766 --> 00:13:12.667
Called against. welcome to life.
00:13:12.734 --> 00:13:13.568
Welcome to life. the alternative is die
00:13:13.635 --> 00:13:15.237
The alternative is die if you don't like it.
00:13:15.303 --> 00:13:19.641
If you don't like it. we're going to suffer
00:13:19.708 --> 00:13:20.642
We're going to suffer in this life.
00:13:20.709 --> 00:13:21.343
In this life. we're going to go through
00:13:21.409 --> 00:13:22.310
We're going to go through stuff in this life.
00:13:22.377 --> 00:13:23.411
Stuff in this life. but everything is better with
00:13:23.478 --> 00:13:24.646
But everything is better with jesus because he's for me.
00:13:24.713 --> 00:13:28.183
Jesus because he's for me. and if he's for me,
00:13:28.250 --> 00:13:28.884
And if he's for me, he works and uses those things
00:13:28.950 --> 00:13:30.719
He works and uses those things to mold me more out of what
00:13:30.785 --> 00:13:33.455
To mold me more out of what i've been against.
00:13:33.521 --> 00:13:34.422
I've been against. he makes me more like him.
00:13:34.489 --> 00:13:36.124
He makes me more like him. i get that stubbornness out.
00:13:36.191 --> 00:13:37.692
I get that stubbornness out. i get that pride out.
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.227
I get that pride out. i get that self-will.
00:13:39.294 --> 00:13:40.695
I get that self-will. i let go of that addiction.
00:13:40.762 --> 00:13:42.397
I let go of that addiction. i let go of that lie.
00:13:42.464 --> 00:13:43.565
I let go of that lie. i let go of that bondage.
00:13:43.632 --> 00:13:44.699
I let go of that bondage. and more and more
00:13:44.766 --> 00:13:45.867
And more and more i'm looking like jesus.
00:13:45.934 --> 00:13:47.302
I'm looking like jesus. it's not about me
00:13:47.369 --> 00:13:48.003
It's not about me looking better.
00:13:48.069 --> 00:13:48.937
Looking better. it's about me
00:13:49.004 --> 00:13:49.671
It's about me looking like jesus.
00:13:49.738 --> 00:13:51.106
[applause]
00:13:51.506 --> 00:13:57.412
You see, good things
00:13:59.748 --> 00:14:02.884
You see, good things are tied up in bad places.
00:14:02.951 --> 00:14:06.788
Are tied up in bad places. it was a place called against,
00:14:06.855 --> 00:14:08.323
It was a place called against, but there was something
00:14:08.390 --> 00:14:09.357
But there was something good tied up.
00:14:09.424 --> 00:14:12.160
Good tied up. and some of you don't ever
00:14:12.227 --> 00:14:13.595
And some of you don't ever want to go into a bad place,
00:14:13.662 --> 00:14:15.397
Want to go into a bad place, but you can't get
00:14:15.463 --> 00:14:16.498
But you can't get to the tied-up blessings,
00:14:16.564 --> 00:14:18.033
To the tied-up blessings, the big ones without
00:14:18.099 --> 00:14:20.602
The big ones without going through against.
00:14:20.669 --> 00:14:22.537
Going through against. i thought about covid when i was
00:14:22.604 --> 00:14:26.908
I thought about covid when i was thinking about this message.
00:14:26.975 --> 00:14:28.777
Thinking about this message. i thought about covid.
00:14:28.843 --> 00:14:31.146
I thought about covid. i used to come in this room
00:14:31.212 --> 00:14:33.315
I used to come in this room right here on fridays and they
00:14:33.381 --> 00:14:36.318
Right here on fridays and they had a cameraman back there
00:14:36.384 --> 00:14:38.219
Had a cameraman back there on the camera and we
00:14:38.286 --> 00:14:39.921
On the camera and we couldn't have church.
00:14:39.988 --> 00:14:42.691
Couldn't have church. there's 3,000 seats,
00:14:42.757 --> 00:14:44.759
There's 3,000 seats, fixed seats, and then
00:14:44.826 --> 00:14:46.027
Fixed seats, and then we have stacked chairs
00:14:46.094 --> 00:14:47.028
We have stacked chairs and then we have overflow.
00:14:47.095 --> 00:14:50.665
And then we have overflow. and i would come
00:14:50.732 --> 00:14:51.166
And i would come in this room week after week,
00:14:51.232 --> 00:14:54.069
In this room week after week, month after month
00:14:54.135 --> 00:14:55.236
Month after month after month after month,
00:14:55.303 --> 00:14:57.505
After month after month, and i'd walk up to this pulpit,
00:14:57.572 --> 00:14:59.040
And i'd walk up to this pulpit, and the little red light
00:14:59.107 --> 00:15:00.842
And the little red light would come on the camera
00:15:00.909 --> 00:15:03.311
Would come on the camera and i'm preaching to
00:15:03.378 --> 00:15:04.512
And i'm preaching to 3,000 empty seats every sunday.
00:15:04.579 --> 00:15:09.951
3,000 empty seats every sunday. that's why when i get
00:15:10.018 --> 00:15:11.553
That's why when i get a little excited,
00:15:11.619 --> 00:15:12.921
A little excited, "i wish he would calm down
00:15:12.988 --> 00:15:14.622
"i wish he would calm down and i brought my friend
00:15:14.689 --> 00:15:16.791
And i brought my friend and it's embarrassing.
00:15:16.858 --> 00:15:18.293
And it's embarrassing. he screams.
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:19.794
He screams. he screams."
00:15:19.861 --> 00:15:22.731
He screams." but you ought to come in here.
00:15:22.797 --> 00:15:24.332
But you ought to come in here. i know what the rapture
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:25.934
I know what the rapture is going to be like
00:15:26.001 --> 00:15:26.768
Is going to be like if you're left behind.
00:15:26.835 --> 00:15:28.903
If you're left behind. i came to church and there
00:15:28.970 --> 00:15:30.705
I came to church and there was nobody here but me,
00:15:30.772 --> 00:15:34.042
Was nobody here but me, and i was the preacher.
00:15:34.109 --> 00:15:34.776
And i was the preacher. i said, "lord, if i ever
00:15:34.843 --> 00:15:36.411
I said, "lord, if i ever get back a crowd,
00:15:36.478 --> 00:15:38.713
Get back a crowd, if i ever get back in
00:15:38.780 --> 00:15:40.248
If i ever get back in god's house with god's people,
00:15:40.315 --> 00:15:42.517
God's house with god's people, if i ever get a choir back,
00:15:42.584 --> 00:15:44.919
If i ever get a choir back, if i ever get people back,
00:15:44.986 --> 00:15:47.055
If i ever get people back, i promise you i'll never
00:15:47.122 --> 00:15:49.057
I promise you i'll never let that praise be...
00:15:49.124 --> 00:15:51.393
Let that praise be... if we get under nuclear attack,
00:15:51.459 --> 00:15:53.294
If we get under nuclear attack, the doors will be open.
00:15:53.361 --> 00:15:55.497
The doors will be open. we'll go out praising our king.
00:15:55.563 --> 00:15:58.767
We'll go out praising our king. everything may be against us,
00:15:58.833 --> 00:16:00.969
Everything may be against us, but god is for us and he works
00:16:01.036 --> 00:16:03.171
But god is for us and he works all things together
00:16:03.238 --> 00:16:05.006
All things together for our good."
00:16:05.073 --> 00:16:07.242
For our good." everybody take
00:16:07.308 --> 00:16:07.909
Everybody take a praise break.
00:16:07.976 --> 00:16:09.077
[cheering and applause]
00:16:09.511 --> 00:16:11.613
All right.
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:12.480
All right. all right, sit down.
00:16:12.547 --> 00:16:14.749
If god would allow you
00:16:16.317 --> 00:16:17.118
If god would allow you to take out of the book
00:16:17.185 --> 00:16:19.921
To take out of the book of your life the ugly chapters,
00:16:19.988 --> 00:16:22.690
Of your life the ugly chapters, the dark chapters,
00:16:22.757 --> 00:16:24.459
The dark chapters, the depressing days,
00:16:24.526 --> 00:16:27.128
The depressing days, the i can't take it
00:16:27.195 --> 00:16:27.896
The i can't take it no more nights,
00:16:27.962 --> 00:16:29.964
No more nights, the i give up, i just
00:16:30.031 --> 00:16:30.932
The i give up, i just want to die, i can't go on,
00:16:30.999 --> 00:16:36.438
Want to die, i can't go on, if god were to do that,
00:16:36.504 --> 00:16:38.273
If god were to do that, you would not be where you are
00:16:38.339 --> 00:16:41.910
You would not be where you are and who you are without
00:16:41.976 --> 00:16:45.280
And who you are without what you've been through.
00:16:45.346 --> 00:16:48.416
What you've been through. there's a blessing tied up
00:16:48.483 --> 00:16:52.587
There's a blessing tied up in what's against you.
00:16:52.654 --> 00:16:55.323
In what's against you. he had it tied up for them.
00:16:55.390 --> 00:16:59.260
He had it tied up for them. and by the way, he must
00:16:59.327 --> 00:17:00.628
And by the way, he must have been through there
00:17:00.695 --> 00:17:02.030
Have been through there because he knew it was there.
00:17:02.097 --> 00:17:03.431
Because he knew it was there. he's been where you are
00:17:03.498 --> 00:17:05.166
He's been where you are and he knows where you are
00:17:05.233 --> 00:17:07.135
And he knows where you are and he knows how to get
00:17:07.202 --> 00:17:08.303
And he knows how to get out of there.
00:17:08.369 --> 00:17:12.674
Out of there. thank god for what
00:17:12.740 --> 00:17:13.675
Thank god for what came against you,
00:17:13.741 --> 00:17:20.014
Came against you, there's a treasure in it.
00:17:20.081 --> 00:17:21.216
There's a treasure in it. that's how jesus
00:17:21.282 --> 00:17:24.018
That's how jesus could call judas...
00:17:24.085 --> 00:17:27.155
Could call judas... the bible said,
00:17:27.222 --> 00:17:27.622
The bible said, "when judas the snake..."
00:17:27.689 --> 00:17:30.425
"when judas the snake..." all right,
00:17:30.492 --> 00:17:30.892
All right, i'm preaching to you now.
00:17:30.959 --> 00:17:32.060
I'm preaching to you now. you know all those people
00:17:32.127 --> 00:17:33.461
You know all those people you can't stand?
00:17:33.528 --> 00:17:35.096
You can't stand? you better check your spirit.
00:17:35.163 --> 00:17:39.134
You better check your spirit. you know what jesus did
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:40.168
You know what jesus did to his betrayer?
00:17:40.235 --> 00:17:42.704
To his betrayer? judas?
00:17:42.770 --> 00:17:43.304
Judas? you know judas
00:17:43.371 --> 00:17:45.240
You know judas sold him out for
00:17:45.306 --> 00:17:46.007
Sold him out for 30 pieces of silver.
00:17:46.074 --> 00:17:49.277
30 pieces of silver. and you know what jesus did
00:17:49.344 --> 00:17:50.044
And you know what jesus did when he came in the garden?
00:17:50.111 --> 00:17:50.979
When he came in the garden? the bible said he kissed him
00:17:51.045 --> 00:17:53.414
The bible said he kissed him and called him friend.
00:17:53.481 --> 00:17:56.618
And called him friend. you know what you're supposed
00:17:56.684 --> 00:17:57.352
You know what you're supposed to do when people hurt you?
00:17:57.418 --> 00:18:00.722
To do when people hurt you? pray for those who
00:18:00.788 --> 00:18:01.923
Pray for those who despitefully use you.
00:18:01.990 --> 00:18:04.959
Despitefully use you. love your enemies.
00:18:05.026 --> 00:18:06.027
Love your enemies. i hate that verse.
00:18:06.094 --> 00:18:07.028
I hate that verse. i'm just being...
00:18:07.095 --> 00:18:08.196
I'm just being... i don't want to love them.
00:18:08.263 --> 00:18:09.497
I don't want to love them. i want to hit them.
00:18:09.564 --> 00:18:16.337
I want to hit them. but jesus has a betrayer,
00:18:16.404 --> 00:18:20.808
But jesus has a betrayer, who will cost him
00:18:20.875 --> 00:18:21.910
Who will cost him suffering and beating.
00:18:21.976 --> 00:18:23.912
Suffering and beating. but i want you to see it
00:18:23.978 --> 00:18:25.046
But i want you to see it like jesus sees it.
00:18:25.113 --> 00:18:27.048
Like jesus sees it. it looks like this
00:18:27.115 --> 00:18:27.815
It looks like this guy's against me,
00:18:27.882 --> 00:18:28.816
Guy's against me, but actually, all things
00:18:28.883 --> 00:18:30.151
But actually, all things are working together
00:18:30.218 --> 00:18:30.985
Are working together for his purpose.
00:18:31.052 --> 00:18:32.587
For his purpose. i have to have a betrayer
00:18:32.654 --> 00:18:34.656
I have to have a betrayer to fulfill prophecy
00:18:34.722 --> 00:18:36.057
To fulfill prophecy because it's foretold
00:18:36.124 --> 00:18:36.891
Because it's foretold that i'll be betrayed
00:18:36.958 --> 00:18:37.825
That i'll be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver
00:18:37.892 --> 00:18:39.227
For 30 pieces of silver hundreds of years ago.
00:18:39.294 --> 00:18:40.662
Hundreds of years ago. so, i've got
00:18:40.728 --> 00:18:41.262
So, i've got to fulfill that prophecy.
00:18:41.329 --> 00:18:42.630
To fulfill that prophecy. and i've washed his feet
00:18:42.697 --> 00:18:45.300
And i've washed his feet just a few hours ago
00:18:45.366 --> 00:18:46.634
Just a few hours ago just to show him,
00:18:46.701 --> 00:18:47.602
Just to show him, just to give him
00:18:47.669 --> 00:18:48.169
Just to give him one more chance.
00:18:48.236 --> 00:18:48.903
One more chance. i washed his feet.
00:18:48.970 --> 00:18:50.104
I washed his feet. i knew he was going
00:18:50.171 --> 00:18:50.972
I knew he was going to betray me.
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:57.478
To betray me. and he kissed him
00:18:57.545 --> 00:18:59.914
And he kissed him and jesus called him friend.
00:18:59.981 --> 00:19:06.754
And jesus called him friend. you have to kiss some things
00:19:06.821 --> 00:19:07.889
You have to kiss some things and call it friend.
00:19:07.956 --> 00:19:10.058
And call it friend. nobody would choose cancer,
00:19:10.124 --> 00:19:12.493
Nobody would choose cancer, but if you have it,
00:19:12.560 --> 00:19:13.861
But if you have it, kiss it and call it friend
00:19:13.928 --> 00:19:15.163
Kiss it and call it friend and say somehow, some way,
00:19:15.230 --> 00:19:16.864
And say somehow, some way, god is working through this.
00:19:16.931 --> 00:19:18.433
God is working through this. i don't understand it.
00:19:18.499 --> 00:19:19.400
I don't understand it. i'm believing that
00:19:19.467 --> 00:19:20.668
I'm believing that i'm going to be healed.
00:19:20.735 --> 00:19:21.836
I'm going to be healed. but you know what,
00:19:21.903 --> 00:19:23.371
But you know what, the ultimate place of faith
00:19:23.438 --> 00:19:24.539
The ultimate place of faith is when you get there
00:19:24.606 --> 00:19:25.473
Is when you get there where you say live or die,
00:19:25.540 --> 00:19:27.809
Where you say live or die, i want jesus glorified
00:19:27.875 --> 00:19:29.577
I want jesus glorified in my life.
00:19:29.644 --> 00:19:30.878
In my life. i know i'm not going
00:19:30.945 --> 00:19:31.913
I know i'm not going to live forever.
00:19:31.980 --> 00:19:33.147
To live forever. and look, we all
00:19:33.214 --> 00:19:34.916
And look, we all want big miracles,
00:19:34.983 --> 00:19:36.084
Want big miracles, but sometimes the miracle
00:19:36.150 --> 00:19:37.585
But sometimes the miracle is just to trust god
00:19:37.652 --> 00:19:39.053
Is just to trust god through it all and say,
00:19:39.120 --> 00:19:40.488
Through it all and say, you know what, you're going
00:19:40.555 --> 00:19:41.956
You know what, you're going to get the glory, god.
00:19:42.023 --> 00:19:43.124
To get the glory, god. you're going to get all the,
00:19:43.191 --> 00:19:43.925
You're going to get all the, even the things
00:19:43.992 --> 00:19:44.659
Even the things i don't understand.
00:19:44.726 --> 00:19:45.660
[applause]
00:19:46.027 --> 00:19:48.129
>> i don't believe
00:19:50.832 --> 00:19:51.266
>> i don't believe it's an accident that
00:19:51.332 --> 00:19:52.533
It's an accident that you're watching this program
00:19:52.600 --> 00:19:54.202
You're watching this program and the things that
00:19:54.269 --> 00:19:55.003
And the things that i've spoken i believe
00:19:55.069 --> 00:19:56.638
I've spoken i believe have gone into your heart.
00:19:56.704 --> 00:19:58.239
Have gone into your heart. it's more than just hearing
00:19:58.306 --> 00:20:00.308
It's more than just hearing with the head knowledge,
00:20:00.375 --> 00:20:01.676
With the head knowledge, but the spirit of god
00:20:01.743 --> 00:20:03.911
But the spirit of god has engrafted the word of god
00:20:03.978 --> 00:20:06.414
Has engrafted the word of god to you for such a time as this.
00:20:06.481 --> 00:20:08.683
To you for such a time as this. you know, there are moments
00:20:08.750 --> 00:20:11.619
You know, there are moments that change everything.
00:20:11.686 --> 00:20:12.854
That change everything. when you get a word from god
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:14.856
When you get a word from god that is very specific
00:20:14.922 --> 00:20:16.391
That is very specific and you know it's speaking
00:20:16.457 --> 00:20:17.592
And you know it's speaking to your heart,
00:20:17.659 --> 00:20:18.626
To your heart, you ought to grab hold
00:20:18.693 --> 00:20:19.527
You ought to grab hold of that word and say,
00:20:19.594 --> 00:20:20.995
Of that word and say, yes, yes, lord.
00:20:21.062 --> 00:20:22.864
Yes, yes, lord. and how do you know that
00:20:22.930 --> 00:20:23.965

Everything that seems like it's against you hasn't

It's against you hasn't brought you to this moment?
00:20:26.668 --> 00:20:28.069
Brought you to this moment? for you to bow your knee
00:20:28.136 --> 00:20:29.337
For you to bow your knee spiritually and for you

Spiritually and for you to raise your hands
00:20:31.239 --> 00:20:32.173
To raise your hands right there where you are
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:33.341
Right there where you are and say, "jesus, i surrender.
00:20:33.408 --> 00:20:35.810
And say, "jesus, i surrender. i surrender to you,
00:20:35.877 --> 00:20:37.945
I surrender to you, to your plan, to your will."
00:20:38.012 --> 00:20:40.581

And i receive your forgiveness. i believe that you shed
00:20:46.087 --> 00:20:47.822
I believe that you shed your blood on calvary's cross
00:20:47.889 --> 00:20:50.124
Your blood on calvary's cross to wash me, to cleanse me,

Everything's against me. but if i know you're for me

But if i know you're for me and i believe calvary says
00:20:56.898 --> 00:20:58.399
And i believe calvary says you are for me,
00:20:58.466 --> 00:21:00.468
You are for me, i am forgiven and i am called
00:21:00.535 --> 00:21:03.371

According to his purpose." i also love that verse
00:21:14.515 --> 00:21:16.250
I also love that verse that says if god be for us,
00:21:16.317 --> 00:21:19.887
That says if god be for us, who can stand against us?
00:21:19.954 --> 00:21:22.290
Who can stand against us? i know some people
00:21:22.357 --> 00:21:23.157
I know some people are standing against you,

00:22:03.998 --> 00:22:05.566
From the northern israel
00:22:05.666 --> 00:22:06.367
Emergency center,
00:22:06.467 --> 00:22:07.535
Just 30 minutes
00:22:07.635 --> 00:22:08.336
From the sea of galilee
00:22:08.436 --> 00:22:09.604
To fortified schools,
00:22:09.704 --> 00:22:11.372
Bomb shelters and fire stations
00:22:11.472 --> 00:22:13.107
In the eshkol region.
00:22:13.207 --> 00:22:15.209
When october 7th attack struck,
00:22:15.309 --> 00:22:17.712
These projects saved
00:22:17.812 --> 00:22:19.247
Countless lives.
00:22:19.347 --> 00:22:21.582
>> i still remember it
00:22:22.083 --> 00:22:22.784
>> i still remember it like it was yesterday.
00:22:22.850 --> 00:22:23.751
Like it was yesterday. picking up my little baby
00:22:23.818 --> 00:22:24.886
Picking up my little baby and running to the safe room,
00:22:24.952 --> 00:22:26.988
And running to the safe room, feeling like any second
00:22:27.054 --> 00:22:28.189
Feeling like any second a rocket's gonna fall on us.
00:22:28.256 --> 00:22:30.291
A rocket's gonna fall on us. it's a sound that i can still
00:22:30.358 --> 00:22:32.693
Close my eyes and i hear it,
00:22:32.794 --> 00:22:34.595
Close my eyes and i hear it, in my sleep -- you don't
00:22:34.662 --> 00:22:37.465
In my sleep -- you don't forget something like this.
00:22:37.532 --> 00:22:39.167
Hovering over her
00:22:39.267 --> 00:22:40.067
Hovering over her in the safe room
00:22:40.134 --> 00:22:40.868
In the safe room and just feeling like
00:22:40.935 --> 00:22:42.136
And just feeling like any second something
00:22:42.203 --> 00:22:43.037
Any second something is gonna happen.
00:22:43.104 --> 00:22:45.239
Is gonna happen. but having that reassurance
00:22:45.306 --> 00:22:46.340
But having that reassurance that we have that safe room --
00:22:46.407 --> 00:22:48.009
That we have that safe room -- i mean, a rocket fall
00:22:48.075 --> 00:22:49.143
I mean, a rocket fall right outside of our house
00:22:49.210 --> 00:22:50.478
Right outside of our house and the shrapnel destroyed
00:22:50.545 --> 00:22:52.447
And the shrapnel destroyed many things that
00:22:52.513 --> 00:22:53.047
Many things that were in our room,
00:22:53.114 --> 00:22:53.748
Were in our room, the place that
00:22:53.815 --> 00:22:54.248
The place that we just ran from.
00:22:54.315 --> 00:22:56.584
We just ran from. if it wasn't for
00:22:56.651 --> 00:22:57.552
If it wasn't for pastor jentezen franklin,
00:22:57.618 --> 00:22:59.954
Pastor jentezen franklin, we, our whole community
00:23:00.021 --> 00:23:02.390
We, our whole community wouldn't come back.
00:23:02.457 --> 00:23:03.758
Wouldn't come back. we really, we thank you so much.
00:23:03.825 --> 00:23:05.893

And safe houses in eshkol,
00:23:10.998 --> 00:23:12.967
Which are life lines

For families
00:23:14.168 --> 00:23:14.836
When emergencies arise.
00:23:14.936 --> 00:23:16.737
Now that the hostages

Have returned home,
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:19.340

To help with mental health
00:23:25.746 --> 00:23:27.181
