  • Welcome to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:00:17.941 --> 00:00:19.576
  • I'm erick stakelbeck and a broken escalator, a
  • 00:00:19.576 --> 00:00:23.379
  • Malfunctioning teleprompter and bad audio could not stop
  • 00:00:23.379 --> 00:00:27.684
  • President trump
  • 00:00:27.684 --> 00:00:28.785
  • From taking the podium tuesday at the united nations
  • 00:00:28.785 --> 00:00:32.155
  • And dropping close to 15 minutes of pure moral clarity.
  • 00:00:32.155 --> 00:00:37.627
  • If ever a group of people needed to hear such a message.
  • 00:00:37.627 --> 00:00:41.131
  • It was the president's audience yesterday at the u.n.
  • 00:00:41.131 --> 00:00:44.501
  • General assembly
  • 00:00:44.501 --> 00:00:45.935
  • From iranian regime terrorists to chinese communists
  • 00:00:45.935 --> 00:00:50.006
  • To third world tyrants and weak kneed european globalists.
  • 00:00:50.006 --> 00:00:54.444
  • All sat and listened as president trump unleashed
  • 00:00:54.444 --> 00:00:57.947
  • A torrent of much needed truth bombs,
  • 00:00:57.947 --> 00:01:01.017
  • Starting with what may have been attempts
  • 00:01:01.017 --> 00:01:03.386
  • To intentionally sabotage his u.n.
  • 00:01:03.386 --> 00:01:06.456
  • Visit.
  • 00:01:06.456 --> 00:01:07.323
  • Folks, suddenly freezing an escalator
  • 00:01:07.323 --> 00:01:09.993
  • Is physically dangerous, and it also left the president
  • 00:01:09.993 --> 00:01:13.496
  • And first lady momentarily exposed.
  • 00:01:13.496 --> 00:01:16.699
  • Not good.
  • 00:01:16.699 --> 00:01:17.867
  • Here's more from president trump.
  • 00:01:17.867 --> 00:01:19.936
  • I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of each
  • 00:01:20.937 --> 00:01:24.140
  • And every one of
  • 00:01:24.140 --> 00:01:25.275
  • These countries, and never even received a phone
  • 00:01:25.275 --> 00:01:27.510
  • Call from the united nations offering to help
  • 00:01:27.510 --> 00:01:30.680
  • In finalizing the deal.
  • 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.584
  • All i got from the united nations was an escalator
  • 00:01:34.584 --> 00:01:37.720
  • That, on the way up, stopped right in the middle.
  • 00:01:37.720 --> 00:01:41.424
  • If the first lady wasn't in great shape,
  • 00:01:41.424 --> 00:01:43.359
  • She would have fallen.
  • 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.028
  • But she's in great shape.
  • 00:01:45.028 --> 00:01:47.263
  • We're both in good shape.
  • 00:01:47.263 --> 00:01:48.398
  • We've lost.
  • 00:01:48.398 --> 00:01:51.634
  • And then a teleprompter.
  • 00:01:52.168 --> 00:01:53.903
  • That didn't work.
  • 00:01:53.903 --> 00:01:55.471
  • This is.
  • 00:01:55.471 --> 00:01:56.606
  • These are the two things i got from the united nations.
  • 00:01:56.606 --> 00:01:58.508
  • A bad escalator and a bad teleprompter.
  • 00:01:58.508 --> 00:02:01.544
  • Thank you very much.
  • 00:02:02.011 --> 00:02:04.047
  • You gotta love the president's response like only he can.
  • 00:02:04.047 --> 00:02:08.017
  • But the issues he addressed in his u.n.
  • 00:02:08.017 --> 00:02:10.453
  • Speech were no laughing matter.
  • 00:02:10.453 --> 00:02:12.889
  • He directly called out european nations
  • 00:02:12.889 --> 00:02:15.391
  • For their insane, suicidal immigration policies and
  • 00:02:15.391 --> 00:02:19.796
  • Abandonment of judeo-christian western civilization.
  • 00:02:19.796 --> 00:02:23.900
  • Watch.
  • 00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:25.201
  • You're destroying your countries.
  • 00:02:25.201 --> 00:02:26.769
  • They're being destroyed.
  • 00:02:26.769 --> 00:02:28.705
  • Europe is in serious trouble.
  • 00:02:29.339 --> 00:02:31.741
  • They've been invaded by a force of illegal aliens
  • 00:02:31.741 --> 00:02:34.978
  • Like nobody's ever seen before.
  • 00:02:34.978 --> 00:02:36.946
  • Illegal aliens are pouring into europe.
  • 00:02:36.946 --> 00:02:39.515
  • Nobody is ever.
  • 00:02:39.515 --> 00:02:40.717
  • And nobody's doing anything to change it, to get them out.
  • 00:02:40.717 --> 00:02:44.954
  • It's not sustainable.
  • 00:02:45.455 --> 00:02:47.624
  • And because they choose to be politically correct,
  • 00:02:47.624 --> 00:02:51.027
  • They're doing just absolutely nothing
  • 00:02:51.027 --> 00:02:53.463
  • About it.
  • 00:02:53.463 --> 00:02:56.933
  • And i have to say, i look at london,
  • 00:02:56.933 --> 00:02:59.736
  • Where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor,
  • 00:02:59.736 --> 00:03:03.406
  • And it's been so changed, so changed.
  • 00:03:03.406 --> 00:03:06.976
  • Now they want to go to sharia law,
  • 00:03:07.710 --> 00:03:11.447
  • But you're in a different country.
  • 00:03:11.447 --> 00:03:12.849
  • You can't do that.
  • 00:03:12.849 --> 00:03:14.584
  • Both the immigration and their suicidal
  • 00:03:14.584 --> 00:03:16.953
  • Energy ideas will be the death of western europe.
  • 00:03:16.953 --> 00:03:20.356
  • If something is not done immediately, they cannot.
  • 00:03:20.356 --> 00:03:23.660
  • This cannot be sustained.
  • 00:03:24.227 --> 00:03:26.629
  • Now, mind you, as the president gave his speech,
  • 00:03:26.629 --> 00:03:29.732
  • Western nations like france, great britain and canada
  • 00:03:29.732 --> 00:03:33.770
  • Were lining up
  • 00:03:33.770 --> 00:03:35.004
  • To recognize a palestinian state that rewards hamas.
  • 00:03:35.004 --> 00:03:39.942
  • During rosh hashanah, the jewish new year,
  • 00:03:39.942 --> 00:03:42.945
  • One of the holiest times on the jewish calendar,
  • 00:03:42.945 --> 00:03:46.182
  • They may want to abandon israel, which is the first line
  • 00:03:46.182 --> 00:03:49.886
  • Of defense for the west, by the way.
  • 00:03:49.886 --> 00:03:51.954
  • But as president trump made clear in a meeting with u.n.
  • 00:03:51.954 --> 00:03:55.058
  • French president emmanuel macron, he never will.
  • 00:03:55.058 --> 00:03:59.195
  • Well, i have to say that i'm on the side of israel.
  • 00:03:59.195 --> 00:04:01.464
  • I've been on the side of israel really my whole life.
  • 00:04:01.464 --> 00:04:04.567
  • Well, i think it, honors hamas.
  • 00:04:04.567 --> 00:04:07.370
  • And you can't do that because of october 7th.
  • 00:04:07.370 --> 00:04:09.605
  • You just can't do that.
  • 00:04:09.605 --> 00:04:11.174
  • But we want our hostages back, and we don't want them back.
  • 00:04:11.174 --> 00:04:14.010
  • And, you know, ones and twos
  • 00:04:14.010 --> 00:04:15.445
  • And take the next two years to do it.
  • 00:04:15.445 --> 00:04:17.880
  • We were the ones that got the hostages back.
  • 00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:19.949
  • And i always said, i told steve, i told marco, i was always
  • 00:04:19.949 --> 00:04:23.886
  • Saying the last hostages are going to be the toughest ones,
  • 00:04:23.886 --> 00:04:27.423
  • But you can't honor them by,
  • 00:04:27.423 --> 00:04:30.026
  • Doing anything like you suggest.
  • 00:04:30.660 --> 00:04:32.628
  • All you can do is say we want our hostages back, and we want.
  • 00:04:32.628 --> 00:04:36.299
  • We want the war to end.
  • 00:04:36.299 --> 00:04:37.934
  • I've said that president trump is like a modern day
  • 00:04:37.934 --> 00:04:41.070
  • Winston churchill, amid the sea of neville chamberlain's
  • 00:04:41.070 --> 00:04:45.375
  • That currently lead other western nations.
  • 00:04:45.375 --> 00:04:48.244
  • In his u.n.
  • 00:04:48.244 --> 00:04:49.412
  • Address, he called on them to stand up for free speech
  • 00:04:49.412 --> 00:04:52.915
  • And to defend christianity, which he rightly called
  • 00:04:52.915 --> 00:04:56.386
  • The most persecuted religion on the planet.
  • 00:04:56.386 --> 00:04:59.622
  • He also laid down the gantlet to the u.n.
  • 00:04:59.622 --> 00:05:02.725
  • Watch.
  • 00:05:02.925 --> 00:05:04.026
  • What is the purpose of the united nations?
  • 00:05:04.026 --> 00:05:06.362
  • The u.n. has such tremendous potential.
  • 00:05:06.362 --> 00:05:09.232
  • I've always said it.
  • 00:05:09.232 --> 00:05:10.800
  • It has such tremendous, tremendous potential.
  • 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.537
  • But it's not even coming close to living up to that potential
  • 00:05:14.537 --> 00:05:18.641
  • For the most part, at least for now.
  • 00:05:18.641 --> 00:05:20.309
  • All they seem to do is write a really strongly worded letter
  • 00:05:20.309 --> 00:05:24.580
  • And then never follow that letter up.
  • 00:05:25.381 --> 00:05:27.517
  • It's empty words and empty words don't solve war.
  • 00:05:27.517 --> 00:05:32.388
  • The only thing that solves war and wars is action.
  • 00:05:32.388 --> 00:05:35.958
  • Folks, i really believe it's time for congress
  • 00:05:36.859 --> 00:05:39.662
  • To strongly consider cutting funding to the u.n..
  • 00:05:39.662 --> 00:05:43.633
  • It's a morally bankrupt organization
  • 00:05:43.633 --> 00:05:46.803
  • That's clearly hostile to president trump,
  • 00:05:46.803 --> 00:05:49.405
  • Even though the united states is the un's largest funder.
  • 00:05:49.405 --> 00:05:53.976
  • In 2013 alone, the u.s.
  • 00:05:53.976 --> 00:05:56.312
  • Contributed $13 billion
  • 00:05:56.312 --> 00:05:59.749
  • In taxpayer money to the united nations.
  • 00:05:59.749 --> 00:06:02.819
  • 13 billion.
  • 00:06:02.819 --> 00:06:04.487
  • I think it's about time for that to change, unless the u.n.
  • 00:06:04.487 --> 00:06:08.057
  • Changes first.
  • 00:06:08.057 --> 00:06:09.625
  • And i won't hold my breath waiting for that.
  • 00:06:09.625 --> 00:06:12.361
  • In the meantime,
  • 00:06:12.361 --> 00:06:13.463
  • We've got
  • 00:06:13.463 --> 00:06:14.664
  • Some very positive changes happening right here in america.
  • 00:06:14.664 --> 00:06:17.700
  • Revival is here.
  • 00:06:17.700 --> 00:06:19.802
  • And pastor jack graham joins us to break it down.
  • 00:06:19.802 --> 00:06:22.538
  • Next.
  • 00:06:22.538 --> 00:06:27.003
  • Next.
  • 00:06:27.003 --> 00:06:30.245
  • The assassination of charlie kirk
  • 00:06:30.979 --> 00:06:33.582
  • And the people who cheered it
  • 00:06:33.582 --> 00:06:35.283
  • Show that evil is increasingly out in the open.
  • 00:06:35.283 --> 00:06:39.120
  • Earlier today, a man opened fire at an ice facility in dallas,
  • 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.824
  • Killing two people, then turning the gun on himself.
  • 00:06:42.824 --> 00:06:46.828
  • But amid all the madness, the light of christ
  • 00:06:46.828 --> 00:06:49.898
  • Is shining in the darkness like we haven't seen in decades.
  • 00:06:49.898 --> 00:06:54.469
  • Pastor jack graham is senior pastor of preston wood
  • 00:06:54.469 --> 00:06:56.838
  • Baptist church
  • 00:06:56.838 --> 00:06:58.039
  • And host of powerpoint with jack graham right here on tbn.
  • 00:06:58.039 --> 00:07:01.543
  • And he joins us now to discuss what looks a lot like revival.
  • 00:07:01.543 --> 00:07:05.213
  • Pastor jack, we're seeing some very encouraging signs.
  • 00:07:05.213 --> 00:07:08.483
  • How do you see it, especially among young people?
  • 00:07:08.483 --> 00:07:10.485
  • We do see signs of revival.
  • 00:07:10.485 --> 00:07:12.621
  • I've got a group of young people tonight.
  • 00:07:12.621 --> 00:07:14.589
  • We're going to pray together.
  • 00:07:14.589 --> 00:07:15.657
  • Talk together today across america
  • 00:07:15.657 --> 00:07:17.359
  • And really around the world.
  • 00:07:17.359 --> 00:07:18.426
  • Well, see you at the poll. that's right.
  • 00:07:18.426 --> 00:07:20.028
  • Which has been happening since the 90s.
  • 00:07:20.028 --> 00:07:22.898
  • And when a group of kids in grapevine,
  • 00:07:22.898 --> 00:07:25.100
  • Our granbury, texas, i believe are nearby, they,
  • 00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:28.470
  • Just decided to go to a poll spontaneously and it became
  • 00:07:28.470 --> 00:07:31.306
  • A movement of prayer across the nation.
  • 00:07:31.306 --> 00:07:34.309
  • And today, i'm sure it will be a record.
  • 00:07:34.309 --> 00:07:36.978
  • Record breaking day.
  • 00:07:36.978 --> 00:07:38.013
  • I know at our school and in north texas,
  • 00:07:38.013 --> 00:07:40.882
  • Young people and families.
  • 00:07:40.882 --> 00:07:42.417
  • Parents were rallying at the poll, praying.
  • 00:07:42.417 --> 00:07:45.787
  • And what are they praying?
  • 00:07:45.787 --> 00:07:46.588
  • They're praying for their country.
  • 00:07:46.588 --> 00:07:48.523
  • They're praying for the community.
  • 00:07:48.523 --> 00:07:49.724
  • They're praying for their friends, to come to know christ.
  • 00:07:49.724 --> 00:07:52.761
  • And there is an every great revival.
  • 00:07:52.761 --> 00:07:56.398
  • It always began with someone said, a kneeling figure.
  • 00:07:57.432 --> 00:08:00.902
  • In other words, every great revival in history
  • 00:08:00.902 --> 00:08:03.371
  • Began with prayer,
  • 00:08:03.371 --> 00:08:04.406
  • Including new testament revivals that took place.
  • 00:08:04.406 --> 00:08:07.609
  • And i was thinking about,
  • 00:08:07.609 --> 00:08:10.011
  • The revival that took place in the book of acts
  • 00:08:10.011 --> 00:08:13.114
  • When peter and john
  • 00:08:13.114 --> 00:08:15.483
  • Were persecuted for speaking the name of jesus
  • 00:08:15.483 --> 00:08:18.019
  • And healing a lame man.
  • 00:08:18.019 --> 00:08:19.354
  • And what did they do?
  • 00:08:19.354 --> 00:08:21.222
  • They went back to their own company.
  • 00:08:21.222 --> 00:08:22.991
  • They went back to the church,
  • 00:08:22.991 --> 00:08:24.960
  • And they talked about it was happening.
  • 00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:27.529
  • And then they prayed and god shook the place.
  • 00:08:27.529 --> 00:08:30.765
  • He literally physically.
  • 00:08:30.765 --> 00:08:32.767
  • If you know
  • 00:08:32.767 --> 00:08:33.902
  • This passage of scripture, he the whole house shook.
  • 00:08:33.902 --> 00:08:36.271
  • It was like an earthquake revival.
  • 00:08:36.271 --> 00:08:38.506
  • And and then the people began to proclaim the word of god.
  • 00:08:38.506 --> 00:08:42.210
  • And they prayed for the same thing.
  • 00:08:42.210 --> 00:08:43.912
  • This is what i love about this story.
  • 00:08:43.912 --> 00:08:46.381
  • When you see the prayer, they prayed for the same thing
  • 00:08:46.381 --> 00:08:49.117
  • That got them into trouble
  • 00:08:49.117 --> 00:08:50.518
  • To begin with, which was more boldness.
  • 00:08:50.518 --> 00:08:53.388
  • They said, lord, give us boldness.
  • 00:08:53.388 --> 00:08:54.990
  • Fill us with your spirit and give us boldness
  • 00:08:54.990 --> 00:08:58.159
  • As we continue to proclaim the resurrected christ.
  • 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.829
  • And you know, the devil always overplays his hand.
  • 00:09:00.829 --> 00:09:03.932
  • Yeah, we see it in the bible. we see it in history.
  • 00:09:03.932 --> 00:09:06.701
  • And i believe that's what we're seeing in this situation
  • 00:09:06.701 --> 00:09:09.771
  • With the terrible, tragic, horrible
  • 00:09:09.771 --> 00:09:12.140
  • Assassination of charlie kirk.
  • 00:09:12.140 --> 00:09:14.409
  • And yet you are seeing young people rise up again.
  • 00:09:14.409 --> 00:09:18.580
  • We've been praying for a revival, and it's been happening
  • 00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:21.483
  • On college campuses and, high school campuses.
  • 00:09:21.483 --> 00:09:25.954
  • Groups are forming like never before to pray.
  • 00:09:25.954 --> 00:09:29.090
  • The president of the united states, president trump.
  • 00:09:29.090 --> 00:09:31.126
  • And i loved your commentary.
  • 00:09:31.126 --> 00:09:32.327
  • I mean, moral clarity, defines the presidency of, donald trump.
  • 00:09:32.327 --> 00:09:37.332
  • And and donald trump has called for 1 million people
  • 00:09:37.332 --> 00:09:41.369
  • To pray in the 250th anniversary of america.
  • 00:09:41.369 --> 00:09:45.140
  • So here we are, 250 years.
  • 00:09:45.140 --> 00:09:47.375
  • Come july 4th, next year.
  • 00:09:47.375 --> 00:09:49.411
  • Yeah. celebrating america.
  • 00:09:49.411 --> 00:09:51.413
  • And i'm praying that
  • 00:09:51.413 --> 00:09:52.580
  • What made america truly great in the beginning,
  • 00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:55.250
  • Which was a spiritual foundations
  • 00:09:55.250 --> 00:09:57.052
  • That churches would revive that pastors.
  • 00:09:57.052 --> 00:10:00.422
  • You know, unfortunately, among some christians
  • 00:10:00.422 --> 00:10:03.024
  • And some churches, there is an appalling silence.
  • 00:10:03.024 --> 00:10:06.461
  • And silence is not an option in our generation.
  • 00:10:06.461 --> 00:10:09.531
  • And that's one thing that charlie taught us.
  • 00:10:09.531 --> 00:10:12.233
  • He spoke the truth and love.
  • 00:10:12.233 --> 00:10:13.568
  • He went to campuses where many of us,
  • 00:10:13.568 --> 00:10:16.204
  • You know, in churches we just abandoned.
  • 00:10:16.204 --> 00:10:18.440
  • We we gave up on these students.
  • 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:20.208
  • But charlie didn't give up.
  • 00:10:20.208 --> 00:10:21.676
  • And every time you have revival, you have a lot of conversions.
  • 00:10:21.676 --> 00:10:26.681
  • You know, evangelism,
  • 00:10:26.681 --> 00:10:28.950
  • Bringing people to christ is not as same the same as revival.
  • 00:10:28.950 --> 00:10:32.320
  • Revival is for god's people.
  • 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:33.722
  • Revival is for the church.
  • 00:10:33.722 --> 00:10:35.323
  • It means to live again.
  • 00:10:35.323 --> 00:10:37.525
  • And i believe the church and many churches
  • 00:10:37.525 --> 00:10:40.261
  • And many christians, especially young people,
  • 00:10:40.261 --> 00:10:43.498
  • You know, every great revival
  • 00:10:43.498 --> 00:10:45.266
  • In history began with young people, including the disciples.
  • 00:10:45.266 --> 00:10:48.636
  • Pastor jack, such a great observation.
  • 00:10:48.636 --> 00:10:50.371
  • Revival always starts with young people,
  • 00:10:50.371 --> 00:10:52.373
  • But i'm really struck by the role
  • 00:10:52.373 --> 00:10:54.375
  • That our governments playing right now.
  • 00:10:54.375 --> 00:10:56.077
  • I saw charlie kirk's memorial service, of course,
  • 00:10:56.077 --> 00:10:58.747
  • And we had top government officials,
  • 00:10:58.747 --> 00:11:00.749
  • Including secretary of state marco rubio, sharing the gospel,
  • 00:11:00.749 --> 00:11:04.619
  • Preaching the gospel in a very clear manner that all could see.
  • 00:11:04.619 --> 00:11:08.857
  • How much of a role was that playing?
  • 00:11:08.857 --> 00:11:10.525
  • Does it start from the top? in this case.
  • 00:11:10.525 --> 00:11:12.927
  • I believe.
  • 00:11:12.927 --> 00:11:13.862
  • Well, i believe it
  • 00:11:13.862 --> 00:11:14.963
  • Starts in the churches and that's where revival begins.
  • 00:11:14.963 --> 00:11:18.500
  • But then revival it
  • 00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:20.835
  • It influences all of culture and society.
  • 00:11:20.835 --> 00:11:23.271
  • That's when you know, you have a revival
  • 00:11:23.271 --> 00:11:25.406
  • More than a meeting in a church
  • 00:11:25.406 --> 00:11:27.342
  • Where a lot of people get together.
  • 00:11:27.342 --> 00:11:29.043
  • But now,
  • 00:11:29.043 --> 00:11:30.812
  • You're seeing the message of the gospel
  • 00:11:30.812 --> 00:11:33.348
  • And the ministry of christians penetrate
  • 00:11:33.348 --> 00:11:37.619
  • The darkness with the light of this truth of jesus christ.
  • 00:11:37.619 --> 00:11:41.356
  • And and when you see
  • 00:11:41.356 --> 00:11:43.024
  • Whether it's the president, the vice president,
  • 00:11:43.024 --> 00:11:44.959
  • The secretary of state, the cabinet members,
  • 00:11:44.959 --> 00:11:47.195
  • People from the highest offices of the land
  • 00:11:47.195 --> 00:11:49.831
  • Openly sharing their faith, thank god for that.
  • 00:11:49.831 --> 00:11:52.200
  • We've never really seen anything like this in history.
  • 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:55.136
  • And so faith and freedom are united.
  • 00:11:55.136 --> 00:11:58.039
  • And when faith grows, then freedom expands.
  • 00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.643
  • And that's what we're seeing.
  • 00:12:01.643 --> 00:12:03.244
  • And as far as the young people
  • 00:12:03.244 --> 00:12:04.579
  • Go in this, i'm praying that god is
  • 00:12:04.579 --> 00:12:07.549
  • And i believe he is raising up a new generation of evangelists
  • 00:12:07.549 --> 00:12:11.653
  • And missionaries and and doctors and lawyers and commentators
  • 00:12:11.653 --> 00:12:14.989
  • Such as yourself and journalists who
  • 00:12:14.989 --> 00:12:17.125
  • Who are going to and government officials and leaders,
  • 00:12:17.125 --> 00:12:20.028
  • And that god is raising up this generation.
  • 00:12:20.028 --> 00:12:23.631
  • And what i see is a pastor and i've been a pastor for
  • 00:12:23.631 --> 00:12:27.135
  • Many years now.
  • 00:12:27.502 --> 00:12:28.903
  • The young people today, they're hungry.
  • 00:12:28.903 --> 00:12:30.672
  • And i think they're they're hungry for two things.
  • 00:12:30.672 --> 00:12:33.107
  • One is beliefs, beliefs.
  • 00:12:33.107 --> 00:12:37.278
  • And by that, i mean they want us to tell them straight up,
  • 00:12:37.278 --> 00:12:41.115
  • What do you believe about jesus christ?
  • 00:12:41.115 --> 00:12:43.718
  • We don't need the nuance.
  • 00:12:43.718 --> 00:12:45.553
  • We don't need the softness.
  • 00:12:45.553 --> 00:12:47.188
  • We're big enough to handle the truth.
  • 00:12:47.188 --> 00:12:48.923
  • Tell me the truth will decide whether we believe
  • 00:12:48.923 --> 00:12:52.026
  • The truth or not.
  • 00:12:52.026 --> 00:12:53.294
  • But be bold.
  • 00:12:53.294 --> 00:12:54.696
  • Be brave and tell us straight up what you think.
  • 00:12:54.696 --> 00:12:57.699
  • That's what charlie did,
  • 00:12:57.699 --> 00:12:59.267
  • And that's what we all should be doing.
  • 00:12:59.267 --> 00:13:01.169
  • The other thing that young people need is boundaries.
  • 00:13:01.169 --> 00:13:04.772
  • Charlie kirk said something.
  • 00:13:05.373 --> 00:13:06.941
  • I saw a post about him.
  • 00:13:06.941 --> 00:13:09.244
  • He said, young people today need structure.
  • 00:13:09.244 --> 00:13:12.847
  • Yeah, and i call that boundaries.
  • 00:13:12.847 --> 00:13:15.483
  • I mean, tell me what the rules are.
  • 00:13:15.483 --> 00:13:17.418
  • You're a football fan. you're an eagle fan.
  • 00:13:17.418 --> 00:13:19.087
  • They're doing quite well.
  • 00:13:19.087 --> 00:13:21.089
  • But who wants to play a game without rules?
  • 00:13:21.089 --> 00:13:23.892
  • Yeah.
  • 00:13:23.892 --> 00:13:24.726
  • If you've ever played a ball game.
  • 00:13:24.726 --> 00:13:25.593
  • I mean, that's why we have umpires.
  • 00:13:25.593 --> 00:13:26.928
  • That's why we have officiating crews.
  • 00:13:26.928 --> 00:13:29.097
  • We have rules.
  • 00:13:29.097 --> 00:13:29.964
  • There are lines drawn and goalposts.
  • 00:13:29.964 --> 00:13:32.333
  • And i believe young people, really everybody wants to know
  • 00:13:32.333 --> 00:13:35.970
  • What are the boundaries for my life.
  • 00:13:35.970 --> 00:13:37.538
  • Because young people are so often growing up today
  • 00:13:37.538 --> 00:13:40.475
  • With no boundaries, anything goes.
  • 00:13:40.475 --> 00:13:42.844
  • And when someone starts showing
  • 00:13:42.844 --> 00:13:44.512
  • And one of the boundaries, where do we find the boundaries
  • 00:13:44.512 --> 00:13:47.415
  • In the bible?
  • 00:13:47.415 --> 00:13:48.750
  • As we establish a biblical,
  • 00:13:48.750 --> 00:13:51.252
  • Christ centric, worldview?
  • 00:13:51.819 --> 00:13:54.756
  • You're going to be a part, erick, of our big worldview
  • 00:13:54.756 --> 00:13:57.525
  • Conference at present with church next week,
  • 00:13:57.525 --> 00:13:59.427
  • And we'll have 5 or 6000 young people, primarily,
  • 00:13:59.427 --> 00:14:03.731
  • Who are going to be saying, tell me the truth.
  • 00:14:03.731 --> 00:14:06.267
  • Show me what the bible says.
  • 00:14:06.267 --> 00:14:08.202
  • Give us the boundaries
  • 00:14:08.202 --> 00:14:09.337
  • And the beliefs that we can live our lives
  • 00:14:09.337 --> 00:14:11.406
  • And have a relationship with god.
  • 00:14:11.406 --> 00:14:13.541
  • And in this darkness of of our age and our times
  • 00:14:13.541 --> 00:14:17.512
  • And the dangers of our times, paul said
  • 00:14:17.512 --> 00:14:20.214
  • To timothy, in the last days, perilous, dangerous, demonic
  • 00:14:20.214 --> 00:14:23.685
  • Times will come and we're seeing that we're there.
  • 00:14:23.685 --> 00:14:25.787
  • But jesus, you know, the light of the world
  • 00:14:25.787 --> 00:14:28.756
  • Can never be put out.
  • 00:14:28.756 --> 00:14:29.991
  • He is the risen christ.
  • 00:14:29.991 --> 00:14:31.225
  • He's the savior and he is lord.
  • 00:14:31.225 --> 00:14:33.494
  • Pastor jack, so well said on all fronts.
  • 00:14:33.494 --> 00:14:35.363
  • Can't wait to see you next week at preston wood.
  • 00:14:35.363 --> 00:14:37.098
  • It's going to be great!
  • 00:14:37.098 --> 00:14:38.499
  • And hey, also preston wood, that 250th anniversary coming up.
  • 00:14:38.499 --> 00:14:42.603
  • 4th of july is going to be a big deal at your church.
  • 00:14:42.603 --> 00:14:45.006
  • I know we'll talk more about that as the months go on.
  • 00:14:45.006 --> 00:14:47.608
  • Jack god bless.
  • 00:14:47.608 --> 00:14:48.576
  • Great job as always.
  • 00:14:48.576 --> 00:14:49.610
  • You. we'll see you again soon.
  • 00:14:49.610 --> 00:14:51.012
  • Coming up after the break,
  • 00:14:51.012 --> 00:14:52.046
  • Great things happening here in america.
  • 00:14:52.046 --> 00:14:54.349
  • But the gospel is also spreading in israel.
  • 00:14:54.349 --> 00:14:58.052
  • Folks, we get the inside story after the break.
  • 00:14:58.052 --> 00:15:00.254
  • You will want to hear this. don't move.
  • 00:15:00.254 --> 00:15:04.004
  • You will want to hear this. don't move.
  • 00:15:04.004 --> 00:15:07.429
  • Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
  • 00:15:08.197 --> 00:15:09.732
  • For over three decades, one for israel
  • 00:15:09.732 --> 00:15:12.835
  • Has been at the forefront
  • 00:15:12.835 --> 00:15:14.370
  • Of an incredible move of god in the land of israel.
  • 00:15:14.370 --> 00:15:17.673
  • What began in 1990
  • 00:15:17.673 --> 00:15:19.141
  • As a bible college has grown into a vibrant ministry
  • 00:15:19.141 --> 00:15:22.911
  • That's transforming lives in israel and beyond.
  • 00:15:22.911 --> 00:15:26.682
  • Doctor erez saurav is president of one for israel,
  • 00:15:26.682 --> 00:15:29.885
  • And he joins us now to share how god is moving
  • 00:15:29.885 --> 00:15:32.221
  • Spiritually in israel and how his ministry has expanded
  • 00:15:32.221 --> 00:15:36.091
  • Since the october 7th attack.
  • 00:15:36.091 --> 00:15:39.161
  • Haris, it's always great to see you.
  • 00:15:39.161 --> 00:15:40.829
  • Shalom, erick, great to be here.
  • 00:15:40.829 --> 00:15:42.364
  • Thank you.
  • 00:15:42.364 --> 00:15:43.065
  • Great to have you.
  • 00:15:43.065 --> 00:15:44.333
  • And a time of great spiritual hunger for the people of israel.
  • 00:15:44.333 --> 00:15:47.202
  • Talk about the climate,
  • 00:15:47.703 --> 00:15:48.771
  • Spiritually areas in the land since october 7th
  • 00:15:48.771 --> 00:15:52.007
  • And how that's impacted your ministry at one for israel.
  • 00:15:52.007 --> 00:15:55.444
  • So, there's definitely a deeper spiritual hunger in israel.
  • 00:15:55.444 --> 00:16:00.516
  • I think partially it is
  • 00:16:00.516 --> 00:16:01.917
  • Because the october 7th disaster caught us,
  • 00:16:01.917 --> 00:16:06.622
  • Just so unprepared.
  • 00:16:07.089 --> 00:16:09.124
  • You know,
  • 00:16:09.124 --> 00:16:10.325
  • I think, a lot of israelis thought we were we were strong.
  • 00:16:10.325 --> 00:16:12.494
  • We have control of situation and the sights.
  • 00:16:12.494 --> 00:16:15.330
  • The you know, many, many of our younger people
  • 00:16:15.330 --> 00:16:18.400
  • Are kids and people that work with us,
  • 00:16:18.400 --> 00:16:21.637
  • Drafted to the military.
  • 00:16:21.637 --> 00:16:23.172
  • A lot of people that are wounded and that fell in action,
  • 00:16:23.172 --> 00:16:26.141
  • A lot of suffering all around. and who lost loved ones.
  • 00:16:26.141 --> 00:16:28.610
  • Many, many, many, many. and it's a small country.
  • 00:16:28.610 --> 00:16:31.480
  • So a lot of people know a lot of people.
  • 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.849
  • And, all that caused people to look and said,
  • 00:16:33.849 --> 00:16:37.152
  • What is happening? where is god in this?
  • 00:16:37.152 --> 00:16:39.388
  • Have we misunderstood god's purpose?
  • 00:16:39.388 --> 00:16:42.658
  • And, add to that the shocking rise in anti-semitism.
  • 00:16:42.658 --> 00:16:48.997
  • I mean, it's very difficult to travel as a jewish person,
  • 00:16:48.997 --> 00:16:51.400
  • And you feel very unsafe even in the united states.
  • 00:16:51.400 --> 00:16:54.570
  • And so, a lot of people are keenly aware
  • 00:16:54.570 --> 00:16:58.407
  • That the only friends we have in the world
  • 00:16:58.407 --> 00:17:00.776
  • Are, in fact, the evangelical christians.
  • 00:17:00.776 --> 00:17:03.579
  • And so a lot of people look to us, you know,
  • 00:17:03.579 --> 00:17:06.281
  • As a jewish followers of yeshua in israel, jewish and arab,
  • 00:17:06.281 --> 00:17:10.219
  • And they say, well, what is your answer?
  • 00:17:10.219 --> 00:17:13.021
  • What do you how can you have peace of time like this?
  • 00:17:13.021 --> 00:17:16.325
  • And we've seen a dramatic increase
  • 00:17:16.325 --> 00:17:18.794
  • In, level of interest of people.
  • 00:17:18.794 --> 00:17:21.597
  • And, you know, when very shortly immediately after october 7th.
  • 00:17:21.597 --> 00:17:26.735
  • Hard to believe. almost two years ago.
  • 00:17:26.735 --> 00:17:29.104
  • Huge,
  • 00:17:29.104 --> 00:17:30.139
  • Reserve draft, military draft.
  • 00:17:30.739 --> 00:17:32.841
  • And, just there was the
  • 00:17:32.841 --> 00:17:35.944
  • The chain of supply was about a week after.
  • 00:17:35.944 --> 00:17:38.714
  • And so the day after comes, we get phone calls,
  • 00:17:38.714 --> 00:17:40.649
  • We get texts from, you know, our children, our people.
  • 00:17:40.649 --> 00:17:43.886
  • We need food, we need mattresses, we need whatever.
  • 00:17:43.886 --> 00:17:46.889
  • So we just went and bought and,
  • 00:17:46.889 --> 00:17:49.691
  • The whole thing of humanitarian aid, of course,
  • 00:17:49.691 --> 00:17:51.627
  • 150,000 people displaced,
  • 00:17:51.627 --> 00:17:55.130
  • Tremendous
  • 00:17:55.430 --> 00:17:56.532
  • Possibility to help in a practical way
  • 00:17:56.532 --> 00:17:59.468
  • To people in their direst, need with, with of course,
  • 00:17:59.468 --> 00:18:02.871
  • No expectation for return. this just help.
  • 00:18:02.871 --> 00:18:05.741
  • And i can personally say, you know, i received
  • 00:18:05.741 --> 00:18:08.410
  • Hundreds and thousands of phone calls, text
  • 00:18:08.410 --> 00:18:11.280
  • Messages, emails from friends saying, how can we help?
  • 00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:14.550
  • Can we come and help?
  • 00:18:14.550 --> 00:18:15.951
  • And i told them, look, that's
  • 00:18:15.951 --> 00:18:16.885
  • Probably not the best time for it to come.
  • 00:18:16.885 --> 00:18:18.287
  • There weren't two flights anyway.
  • 00:18:18.287 --> 00:18:20.689
  • And so
  • 00:18:20.889 --> 00:18:21.890
  • As they prayed, they started giving financially
  • 00:18:21.890 --> 00:18:24.560
  • And we just, you know, transferred over this,
  • 00:18:24.560 --> 00:18:27.829
  • To ease the suffering of our people.
  • 00:18:27.829 --> 00:18:30.699
  • It included even purchasing ambulances and so on. so,
  • 00:18:30.699 --> 00:18:34.169
  • It really expanded, unfortunately, but in a way,
  • 00:18:35.170 --> 00:18:38.373
  • Many ways to to thank our friends
  • 00:18:38.373 --> 00:18:40.409
