- Pastor ed young: our scripture is found in the book of exodus.
- 00:00:21.344 --> 00:00:27.917
- In hebrew, the first word in chapter one of exodus is and,
- 00:00:27.917 --> 00:00:32.655
- And all this happened in genesis, and.
- 00:00:32.655 --> 00:00:38.328
- And then we move into exodus, and i want you to notice what's
- 00:00:38.328 --> 00:00:44.434
- Going on.
- 00:00:44.434 --> 00:00:46.603
- Beginning with verse number 8. "now there arose a new king over
- 00:00:46.603 --> 00:00:54.711
- Egypt, who did not know joseph.
- 00:00:54.711 --> 00:00:57.614
- And he said to the people of pharaoh, look, the people of
- 00:00:57.614 --> 00:01:03.286
- Children are more and mightier than we; come, let us deal
- 00:01:03.286 --> 00:01:08.525
- Shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and it happen, in the
- 00:01:08.525 --> 00:01:15.431
- Event of war, war, and they also join our enemies and fight
- 00:01:15.431 --> 00:01:22.705
- Against us, and to go up out of the land."
- 00:01:22.705 --> 00:01:28.278
- Exile.
- 00:01:28.278 --> 00:01:30.680
- "therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with
- 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:35.218
- Their burdens."
- 00:01:35.218 --> 00:01:37.287
- Slavery.
- 00:01:37.287 --> 00:01:39.255
- "then the king of egypt spoke to the hebrew midwives."
- 00:01:39.255 --> 00:01:43.626
- What did he say?
- 00:01:43.626 --> 00:01:45.929
- "he said the midwives feared god, and did not do as the king
- 00:01:45.929 --> 00:01:50.066
- Of egypt had commanded."
- 00:01:50.066 --> 00:01:51.601
- What did he command?
- 00:01:51.601 --> 00:01:53.870
- "when you do your duties as a midwife for the hebrew women,
- 00:01:53.870 --> 00:01:57.440
- See them on the birthstool, the rocks in which they use to bring
- 00:01:57.440 --> 00:02:01.711
- Birth, and if it is a son, you shall kill him."
- 00:02:01.711 --> 00:02:07.483
- Infanticide.
- 00:02:07.483 --> 00:02:09.986
- You'll find at the last verse.
- 00:02:09.986 --> 00:02:11.421
- "so pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, 'every son who
- 00:02:11.421 --> 00:02:15.825
- Is born you shall cast into the nile, the river, and every
- 00:02:15.825 --> 00:02:19.929
- Daughter you shall keep alive.'"
- 00:02:19.929 --> 00:02:24.801
- Sound familiar?
- 00:02:24.801 --> 00:02:27.503
- Those words, we look at ancient egypt, and we say what a
- 00:02:27.503 --> 00:02:34.444
- Horrific land that is.
- 00:02:34.444 --> 00:02:38.781
- Infanticide.
- 00:02:38.781 --> 00:02:42.051
- Child is born, throw him in the river.
- 00:02:42.051 --> 00:02:47.023
- Can you imagine such paganism?
- 00:02:47.023 --> 00:02:50.226
- Can you imagine such heartlessness?
- 00:02:50.226 --> 00:02:53.396
- Can you imagine such racism?
- 00:02:53.396 --> 00:02:56.299
- Can you imagine such extremity that went on in a land that did
- 00:02:56.299 --> 00:03:00.703
- Not know the lord god and set about killing and destroying
- 00:03:00.703 --> 00:03:07.043
- A people.
- 00:03:07.043 --> 00:03:09.145
- Putting down or people, eliminating a people, stagnating
- 00:03:09.145 --> 00:03:13.750
- Their growth.
- 00:03:13.750 --> 00:03:15.618
- Can you imagine?
- 00:03:15.618 --> 00:03:17.253
- Such a place ever existing on the earth is that?
- 00:03:17.253 --> 00:03:24.127
- Egypt was a sane and sensible land, ladies and gentlemen,
- 00:03:24.127 --> 00:03:30.900
- Compared to the united states of america.
- 00:03:30.900 --> 00:03:37.240
- Since 1973, roe v. wade was passed, in america, we have seen
- 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:45.181
- Through abortion, which clearly defined is a child's murder in
- 00:03:45.181 --> 00:03:52.155
- The womb of the mother.
- 00:03:52.155 --> 00:03:54.390
- That's what it is.
- 00:03:54.390 --> 00:03:56.492
- Sixty-three million children have been killed in the place
- 00:03:56.492 --> 00:04:03.433
- Where they should be safer than any other place throughout
- 00:04:03.433 --> 00:04:06.869
- Their life.
- 00:04:06.869 --> 00:04:12.775
- You say, "that's a lot of people."
- 00:04:12.775 --> 00:04:16.212
- Of all the people who are being slaughtered in afghanistan, all
- 00:04:16.212 --> 00:04:21.617
- The people who are now being slaughtered in war, take all of
- 00:04:21.617 --> 00:04:29.058
- This number, and all of those who are victim of genocide in
- 00:04:29.058 --> 00:04:34.797
- Nazi germany, adolf hitler, all the people that joseph
- 00:04:34.797 --> 00:04:39.168
- Stalin murdered.
- 00:04:39.168 --> 00:04:41.237
- All the people that mao in china murdered through genocide, and
- 00:04:41.237 --> 00:04:46.743
- Add them to everything that's happening in ukraine today, and
- 00:04:46.743 --> 00:04:53.516
- 63 million that we have legally murdered in the mother's womb is
- 00:04:53.516 --> 00:05:00.156
- A greater number than all of them added together.
- 00:05:00.156 --> 00:05:07.597
- Before i get into.
- 00:05:11.067 --> 00:05:13.770
- Roe v. wade a little further.
- 00:05:13.770 --> 00:05:16.806
- Let me say something parenthetically over here.
- 00:05:16.806 --> 00:05:21.411
- To those females, who, probably at an early age, not
- 00:05:21.411 --> 00:05:27.150
- Understanding the ramification of pregnancy in life, had
- 00:05:27.150 --> 00:05:31.754
- An abortion.
- 00:05:31.754 --> 00:05:33.823
- By way of confession, and witness when i married, i was
- 00:05:33.823 --> 00:05:42.031
- A virgin.
- 00:05:42.031 --> 00:05:43.699
- Even back in those antique days, i was not sort of one of
- 00:05:43.699 --> 00:05:49.472
- The guys.
- 00:05:49.472 --> 00:05:51.441
- That's a fact.
- 00:05:51.441 --> 00:05:53.342
- Now, but if a girl, let's say 14 or 15 had gotten pregnant,
- 00:05:53.342 --> 00:06:02.351
- Whether i was a part or not and that girl would have come to me
- 00:06:02.351 --> 00:06:07.490
- And asked for advice, and if at that time, which it wasn't, it
- 00:06:07.490 --> 00:06:12.695
- Was legal and reasonably safe to keep from that life being
- 00:06:12.695 --> 00:06:18.468
- Disrupted, i, a christian, quote, "christian," end quote in
- 00:06:18.468 --> 00:06:24.774
- That area of immaturity, would have advocated abortion.
- 00:06:24.774 --> 00:06:31.113
- That's my confession.
- 00:06:31.113 --> 00:06:33.382
- So let me say that a lot of young people have given up the
- 00:06:33.382 --> 00:06:39.589
- Life of a child, an unwanted, an unexpected, undesired pregnancy
- 00:06:39.589 --> 00:06:47.930
- And they did not know what most of us know today, and they did
- 00:06:47.930 --> 00:06:53.936
- Not have the maturity to understand the sacredness
- 00:06:53.936 --> 00:06:57.473
- Of life.
- 00:06:57.473 --> 00:07:00.576
- God forgives, god cleanses, and that was a mistake of the past.
- 00:07:00.576 --> 00:07:06.249
- Let me say that without thinking i'm standing up here as some
- 00:07:06.249 --> 00:07:10.286
- Super pious clergymen pronouncing judgment of those
- 00:07:10.286 --> 00:07:15.458
- Who, at a young age, made a tragic mistake.
- 00:07:15.458 --> 00:07:20.563
- As far as god is concerned, and as far as life is concern, okay?
- 00:07:20.563 --> 00:07:26.435
- And i will show you what's happened today in our world.
- 00:07:26.435 --> 00:07:30.573
- We know there has been supposedly a leak from the
- 00:07:30.573 --> 00:07:33.576
- Supreme court that evidently a ruling will come down, which roe
- 00:07:33.576 --> 00:07:41.017
- V. wade will be overturned.
- 00:07:41.017 --> 00:07:44.320
- As someone who is on the side 100% of life, i am thrilled and
- 00:07:44.320 --> 00:07:53.596
- Pray that will become a reality.
- 00:07:53.596 --> 00:07:59.201
- Unapologetically.
- 00:07:59.201 --> 00:08:02.905
- In the process of this, a group called cure in cooperation with
- 00:08:02.905 --> 00:08:11.581
- The cdc, in cooperation with the african american pro-life group,
- 00:08:11.581 --> 00:08:18.387
- They have presented a paper to congress in this whole area of
- 00:08:18.387 --> 00:08:23.793
- Abortion, which is mind boggling to me, and it's heartbreaking to
- 00:08:23.793 --> 00:08:32.001
- All who know god and believe in the sacredness of life.
- 00:08:32.001 --> 00:08:36.238
- Let me give you an overview of what has been revealed.
- 00:08:36.238 --> 00:08:43.512
- Out of the 63 million abortions, 40% of those abortions, 19
- 00:08:43.512 --> 00:08:53.122
- Million, have been african american children in the
- 00:08:53.122 --> 00:08:57.793
- Mother's womb.
- 00:08:57.793 --> 00:09:01.163
- Of those 20 million was there another martin luther
- 00:09:01.163 --> 00:09:05.468
- King killed?
- 00:09:05.468 --> 00:09:06.802
- Was there another thomas-- killed?
- 00:09:06.802 --> 00:09:10.106
- Was there someone there who could have let us out of the
- 00:09:10.106 --> 00:09:13.175
- Bondage, we find ourselves in as americans today?
- 00:09:13.175 --> 00:09:16.245
- Was there someone there who could made such radical
- 00:09:16.245 --> 00:09:19.482
- Difference in medicine, in research, in the political air.
- 00:09:19.482 --> 00:09:23.386
- There's 20 million.
- 00:09:23.386 --> 00:09:24.720
- You know how many people 20 million-- 20 million is roughly
- 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:27.390
- The population of the state of new york killed before the life
- 00:09:27.390 --> 00:09:37.033
- Left the mother's womb.
- 00:09:37.033 --> 00:09:40.002
- Planned parenthood, oh, it's a great title.
- 00:09:40.002 --> 00:09:44.774
- You know who founded it?
- 00:09:44.774 --> 00:09:46.709
- Margaret sanger.
- 00:09:46.709 --> 00:09:49.078
- She is the philosopher of eugenics.
- 00:09:49.078 --> 00:09:51.147
- What is eugenics?
- 00:09:51.147 --> 00:09:52.848
- It is the fact that you suppress different races.
- 00:09:52.848 --> 00:09:55.818
- That's what hitler did with the jews, suppressing unwanted group
- 00:09:55.818 --> 00:10:00.623
- People, and that's exactly what has happened today to a whole
- 00:10:00.623 --> 00:10:07.396
- Fabulously gifted group of people who are part of
- 00:10:07.396 --> 00:10:10.666
- Our america.
- 00:10:10.666 --> 00:10:13.035
- Do you realize what that means?
- 00:10:13.035 --> 00:10:16.338
- It means that there has been a hidden racism operating in
- 00:10:16.338 --> 00:10:21.711
- America to suppress a whole racial group of people.
- 00:10:21.711 --> 00:10:28.818
- Where is-- parenthood located in america?
- 00:10:28.818 --> 00:10:31.420
- Right up next to the minority areas.
- 00:10:31.420 --> 00:10:37.126
- It is the hidden racism that's 1973 in america, and it has been
- 00:10:37.126 --> 00:10:44.233
- Carried out under the banner of civil rights, as if it is a
- 00:10:44.233 --> 00:10:50.906
- Civil right for any mother, oh, i can roll my own body.
- 00:10:50.906 --> 00:10:58.814
- Ladies and gentlemen, let me remind you of something, life
- 00:10:58.814 --> 00:11:03.119
- Then and life now is sacred.
- 00:11:03.119 --> 00:11:05.821
- It belongs to god, and when conception takes place, it no
- 00:11:05.821 --> 00:11:09.725
- Longer is under our auspices.
- 00:11:09.725 --> 00:11:13.229
- [congregation applauding]
- 00:11:13.229 --> 00:11:22.905
- Pastor ed: i didn't want to say this.
- 00:11:22.905 --> 00:11:25.708
- Very hurtful for me because i'm a patriot.
- 00:11:25.708 --> 00:11:29.211
- I love this land.
- 00:11:29.211 --> 00:11:32.515
- I have sung from the top of my voice for a lot of years.
- 00:11:32.515 --> 00:11:37.953
- Hard for me to say this.
- 00:11:37.953 --> 00:11:41.090
- Listen to it carefully.
- 00:11:41.090 --> 00:11:42.424
- Take it home.
- 00:11:42.424 --> 00:11:43.759
- Think about it.
- 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.795
- I'm having a hard time singing "god bless america."
- 00:11:45.795 --> 00:11:52.101
- Oh, why should god bless america?
- 00:11:52.101 --> 00:12:01.343
- He has blessed us and we used our blessing to exploit those
- 00:12:05.581 --> 00:12:10.119
- Who were most down and most needed a leg up and help
- 00:12:10.119 --> 00:12:14.256
- And love.
- 00:12:14.256 --> 00:12:18.494
- And that's an indictment upon you and me.
- 00:12:18.494 --> 00:12:24.466
- But the great tragedy is, in america, we are voting on life,
- 00:12:24.466 --> 00:12:29.805
- Ladies and gentlemen.
- 00:12:29.805 --> 00:12:31.140
- We're voting on life.
- 00:12:31.140 --> 00:12:33.976
- Human being voted on-- voting on life.
- 00:12:33.976 --> 00:12:40.916
- May there be a wake up call all over america as we in this
- 00:12:40.916 --> 00:12:46.388
- Church stand for life.
- 00:12:46.388 --> 00:12:48.624
- Say it with me.
- 00:12:48.624 --> 00:12:49.959
- We stand for life.
- 00:12:49.959 --> 00:12:52.328
- Life.
- 00:12:52.328 --> 00:12:54.997
- And we do not apologize for it because life is a sacred gift of
- 00:12:53.662 --> 00:12:59.969
- Almighty god.
- 00:12:59.969 --> 00:13:02.371
- [congregation applauding]
- 00:13:02.371 --> 00:13:21.323
- Pastor ed: what happened in egypt?
- 00:13:22.958 --> 00:13:26.428
- Five heroines changed history, five women whose name, i dare
- 00:13:26.428 --> 00:13:35.771
- Say, most of us even though our church people will know only one
- 00:13:35.771 --> 00:13:39.508
- Of the names, five names, five names.
- 00:13:39.508 --> 00:13:48.083
- You ever heard of somebody named shiphrah?
- 00:13:48.083 --> 00:13:51.420
- Ever heard somebody named purah?
- 00:13:51.420 --> 00:13:54.456
- Ever heard of anybody named jochebed?
- 00:13:54.456 --> 00:13:57.593
- Ever heard anybody named miriam?
- 00:13:57.593 --> 00:14:00.362
- Ever heard anybody named bithra?
- 00:14:00.362 --> 00:14:03.165
- Five women.
- 00:14:03.165 --> 00:14:05.968
- They're in egypt.
- 00:14:05.968 --> 00:14:07.937
- When they were faced with infanticide with slavery, with
- 00:14:07.937 --> 00:14:14.310
- Prejudice, with bigotry because the israelites were growing,
- 00:14:14.310 --> 00:14:18.180
- They needed to be suppressed.
- 00:14:18.180 --> 00:14:21.684
- Let's look at those five women rapidly.
- 00:14:21.684 --> 00:14:23.752
- You're goin' to see five tremendous women.
- 00:14:23.752 --> 00:14:27.523
- We don't even know their names.
- 00:14:27.523 --> 00:14:29.425
- Looked back and say hebrew midwives of whom the name of one
- 00:14:29.425 --> 00:14:33.729
- Was shiphrah, and the name of the other was purah.
- 00:14:33.729 --> 00:14:37.933
- And he said when you do the duties of the midwife, or a
- 00:14:37.933 --> 00:14:41.770
- Hebrew woman and see them on their birth stools, if it's a
- 00:14:41.770 --> 00:14:44.907
- Son, you shall kill him.
- 00:14:44.907 --> 00:14:47.109
- It says, but the midwives feared god.
- 00:14:47.109 --> 00:14:49.812
- What did they do?
- 00:14:49.812 --> 00:14:51.146
- They had faith in god.
- 00:14:51.146 --> 00:14:53.983
- He said they feared god more than they feared the government.
- 00:14:53.983 --> 00:14:57.486
- How important that is today.
- 00:14:57.486 --> 00:15:00.889
- But the midwives feared god, verse 17, and did not do as the
- 00:15:00.889 --> 00:15:05.361
- King of egypt had commanded them, but saved the male
- 00:15:05.361 --> 00:15:08.831
- Children alive.
- 00:15:08.831 --> 00:15:10.866
- So the king of egypt called for the midwives and said to them,
- 00:15:10.866 --> 00:15:14.169
- Why have you done this thing and saved the male children alive?
- 00:15:14.169 --> 00:15:17.740
- Now they had faith and that gave them courage, right?
- 00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:20.275
- Faith gives us courage, faith in a living god.
- 00:15:20.275 --> 00:15:23.912
- And the midwives said to pharaoh because the hebrew women are not
- 00:15:23.912 --> 00:15:27.182
- Like the egyptian women, for they are lively and give birth
- 00:15:27.182 --> 00:15:30.586
- Before the midwives can come to them.
- 00:15:30.586 --> 00:15:32.688
- Therefore, god dealt with the midwives and the people
- 00:15:32.688 --> 00:15:35.824
- Multiplied and grew very mighty, and so it was because the
- 00:15:35.824 --> 00:15:39.661
- Midwives feared god that he provided households for them.
- 00:15:39.661 --> 00:15:45.234
- You see, the pattern here of this verse?
- 00:15:45.234 --> 00:15:47.002
- Watch this.
- 00:15:47.002 --> 00:15:48.337
- First woman we're honoring.
- 00:15:48.337 --> 00:15:49.671
- She had faith in god, because of that faith, she had courage to
- 00:15:49.671 --> 00:15:55.944
- Stand up against pharaoh and his edict.
- 00:15:55.944 --> 00:15:59.548
- And then she had what?
- 00:15:59.548 --> 00:16:01.483
- Creative thinking.
- 00:16:01.483 --> 00:16:05.988
- She told pharaoh, look these babies were born before.
- 00:16:03.886 --> 00:16:09.091
- Some was true.
- 00:16:09.091 --> 00:16:10.426
- Some was not true.
- 00:16:10.426 --> 00:16:11.760
- You see how god used this-- these two unnamed women who were
- 00:16:11.760 --> 00:16:15.431
- Midwives, and look at the next one we come to it.
- 00:16:15.431 --> 00:16:19.201
- And it says and a man was born in the house of levi, and when
- 00:16:19.201 --> 00:16:22.771
- He took his wife, a daughter of levi, and the woman conceived
- 00:16:22.771 --> 00:16:26.842
- And had a son.
- 00:16:26.842 --> 00:16:30.712
- Here's two believers, tribe of levi.
- 00:16:30.712 --> 00:16:33.715
- She was pregnant.
- 00:16:33.715 --> 00:16:35.217
- They were married.
- 00:16:35.217 --> 00:16:36.652
- Nuclear family.
- 00:16:36.652 --> 00:16:39.688
- And can you imagine during that pregnancy when the edict of
- 00:16:39.688 --> 00:16:42.591
- Pharaoh was, if a male child is born, throw him in the river?
- 00:16:42.591 --> 00:16:47.930
- Can you imagine what they prayed for, o lord, give us a female--
- 00:16:47.930 --> 00:16:54.103
- Not a male, o lord, give us a female, but a male child
- 00:16:54.103 --> 00:16:58.407
- Was born.
- 00:16:58.407 --> 00:17:00.642
- And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, the word
- 00:17:00.642 --> 00:17:03.178
- Beautiful there means sort of a special gift, and she hid him
- 00:17:03.178 --> 00:17:08.383
- Three months while she nursed him, but when she could no
- 00:17:08.383 --> 00:17:12.788
- Longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes and the child-- put
- 00:17:12.788 --> 00:17:19.561
- The child in it, and laid in the reeds by the river banks.
- 00:17:19.561 --> 00:17:25.968
- A woman of faith had courage, planned for this baby, and she
- 00:17:25.968 --> 00:17:30.239
- Did exactly what pharaoh said.
- 00:17:30.239 --> 00:17:33.442
- Throw the child in the river, and she did.
- 00:17:33.442 --> 00:17:37.746
- She had faith.
- 00:17:37.746 --> 00:17:39.081
- She had courage, and she had creative thinking, this mother
- 00:17:39.081 --> 00:17:42.985
- Did-- and then we have another fabulous, fabulous woman.
- 00:17:42.985 --> 00:17:49.124
- That's miriam.
- 00:17:49.124 --> 00:17:51.093
- *miriam was, in all probability, the older child, already born.
- 00:17:51.093 --> 00:17:54.830
- Aaron was another child of hers.
- 00:17:54.830 --> 00:17:58.634
- And the sister miriam from afar off to know what should be done.
- 00:17:58.634 --> 00:18:06.408
- The sister followed that little ark into the nile.
- 00:18:06.408 --> 00:18:10.879
- Then the daughter of pharaoh came down to bathe in the river
- 00:18:10.879 --> 00:18:14.016
- And her maidens walked along the riverside and when she saw the
- 00:18:14.016 --> 00:18:17.953
- Ark among the reeds and sent her maid to get it.
- 00:18:17.953 --> 00:18:22.424
- And when she opened it, she saw the child.
- 00:18:22.424 --> 00:18:26.295
- Here's miriam.
- 00:18:26.295 --> 00:18:27.629
- Watch it now, ten to twelve years old.
- 00:18:27.629 --> 00:18:30.832
- She goes down-- for her.
- 00:18:30.832 --> 00:18:32.868
- Three-month old brother that's been born.
- 00:18:32.868 --> 00:18:35.537
- Knowing that if they find out, he would be drowned in
- 00:18:35.537 --> 00:18:39.441
- The river.
- 00:18:39.441 --> 00:18:40.809
- And she watched, and miriam had to discern from bithiah.
- 00:18:40.809 --> 00:18:48.317
- Who was that?
- 00:18:48.317 --> 00:18:49.651
- That was pharaoh's daughter.
- 00:18:49.651 --> 00:18:50.986
- That was a princess.
- 00:18:50.986 --> 00:18:52.321
- She was-- how she would respond to this unwanted death sentence
- 00:18:52.321 --> 00:18:56.558
- Pronounced on this hebrew child, she had to read, read, the
- 00:18:56.558 --> 00:19:02.197
- Princess to see how she responded, and when she opened
- 00:19:02.197 --> 00:19:04.833
- Up and the princess responded positively, knowing it was a
- 00:19:04.833 --> 00:19:09.438
- Hebrew child.
- 00:19:09.438 --> 00:19:11.340
- That's when miriam-- what faith she had in god, what courage,
- 00:19:11.340 --> 00:19:16.378
- She had a 10- or 12-year-old, and what wonderful creative
- 00:19:16.378 --> 00:19:20.415
- Thinking she involved.
- 00:19:20.415 --> 00:19:21.750
- She went down there and then, and as the princess must have
- 00:19:21.750 --> 00:19:25.587
- Held the baby, she said,
- 00:19:25.587 --> 00:19:29.625
- "do you want me to get a woman
- 00:19:29.625 --> 00:19:33.428
- To nurse this child?"
- 00:19:33.428 --> 00:19:36.932
- Yeah, and, bithiah, the princes said yes.
- 00:19:36.932 --> 00:19:43.405
- And miriam went back home and said, jochebed, mom, come down
- 00:19:43.405 --> 00:19:49.211
- We've got an assignment.
- 00:19:49.211 --> 00:19:52.114
- You're gonna have to nurse the baby.
- 00:19:52.114 --> 00:19:56.218
- And by the way, the princess said really carefully, "i'm
- 00:19:56.218 --> 00:19:58.687
- Going to pay you for it."
- 00:19:58.687 --> 00:20:00.555
- What a deal.
- 00:20:00.555 --> 00:20:01.890
- How god works in this world.
- 00:20:01.890 --> 00:20:05.527
- And so, jochebed went down, got the child, took it home for
- 00:20:05.527 --> 00:20:12.467
- About probably five years, and the child was weaned.
- 00:20:12.467 --> 00:20:16.872
- Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he's old, he
- 00:20:16.872 --> 00:20:19.308
- Will not depart from it.
- 00:20:19.308 --> 00:20:20.642
- In those five years, that mom built-- principles of god in
- 00:20:20.642 --> 00:20:26.682
- That little baby boy, and then what about bithiah?
- 00:20:26.682 --> 00:20:34.823
- Hey, somehow the understanding of the sacredness of life from
- 00:20:34.823 --> 00:20:39.061
- The hebrews and their god, who she'd seen all their life, they
- 00:20:39.061 --> 00:20:42.831
- Worship and how they were blessed because they were
- 00:20:42.831 --> 00:20:45.400
- True worshipers.
- 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:46.735
- She had faith in god, and then she had courage to go and wait
- 00:20:46.735 --> 00:20:51.306
- Those four or five years until the child was weaned and then
- 00:20:51.306 --> 00:20:55.310
- The mother.
- 00:20:55.310 --> 00:20:56.712
- Gave up to the princess knowing, she could not bring up the child
- 00:20:56.712 --> 00:21:02.084
- In egypt.
- 00:21:02.084 --> 00:21:03.418
- And so the courage of jochebed to give the baby to the
- 00:21:03.418 --> 00:21:07.289
- Princess, and then the princess had the courage to-- with some
- 00:21:07.289 --> 00:21:12.928
- Critical thinking, navigate between this-- pharaoh, who
- 00:21:12.928 --> 00:21:18.066
- Pronounced a death sentence, and then moses was taught the
- 00:21:18.066 --> 00:21:23.772
- Highest form of education, the highest form of
- 00:21:23.772 --> 00:21:26.942
- Military strategy.
- 00:21:26.942 --> 00:21:28.443
- He got a background in egyptian culture, which was second to
- 00:21:28.443 --> 00:21:32.381
- None at this moment in history, and by the way, it was bithiah,
- 00:21:32.381 --> 00:21:38.587
- The princess who named moses, and the name moses mean to be
- 00:21:38.587 --> 00:21:43.592
- Brought out of, to be brought out of the river, and moses
- 00:21:43.592 --> 00:21:48.864
- Later on lived up to his name and he brought the children of
- 00:21:48.864 --> 00:21:52.567
- Israel out of exile into life and the promised land.
- 00:21:52.567 --> 00:21:56.938
- How god works in the world, ladies and gentlemen.
- 00:21:56.938 --> 00:22:02.911
- These five women had courage, had faith, in god, and had faith
- 00:22:02.911 --> 00:22:07.883
- In god gave them courage, and that courage gave them creative,
- 00:22:07.883 --> 00:22:11.820
- Critical thinking, and all of a sudden, what is the result?
- 00:22:11.820 --> 00:22:17.359
- You have moses who was the most important person on this earth
- 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:26.601
- Between adam and in the garden, all the way to jesus
- 00:22:26.601 --> 00:22:31.573
- In bethlehem.
- 00:22:31.573 --> 00:22:32.908
- Moses was the number-one person to all humanity.
- 00:22:32.908 --> 00:22:37.512
- And see, how god preserve life through these five individual
- 00:22:37.512 --> 00:22:43.018
- Women who had faith in god.
- 00:22:43.018 --> 00:22:45.520
- They had courage and they became creative thinkers.
- 00:22:45.520 --> 00:22:51.293
- Motherhood, the feminine world, the giftedness that is here.
- 00:22:51.293 --> 00:22:59.201
- Victor hugo tells a story of a vicious battle that took place.
- 00:22:59.201 --> 00:23:05.974
- It lasted almost four days.
- 00:23:05.974 --> 00:23:08.810
- At the end of the battle, a captain and a sergeant was
- 00:23:08.810 --> 00:23:12.781
- Leading out of the battle a platoon of soldiers.
- 00:23:12.781 --> 00:23:16.751
- They were in heavy woods.
- 00:23:16.751 --> 00:23:18.987
- The captain looked over and saw some bushes moving.
- 00:23:18.987 --> 00:23:22.958
- And he says, sergeant, see what's behind those bushes.
- 00:23:22.958 --> 00:23:28.697
- The sergeant goes over there, and goes into the woods and
- 00:23:28.697 --> 00:23:32.634
- Brings out a shivering mother holding two little children.
- 00:23:32.634 --> 00:23:40.842
- For days, they'd been there during the battle in hiding.
- 00:23:40.842 --> 00:23:44.813
- The children were fearful and they were cold and they were all
- 00:23:44.813 --> 00:23:49.985
- Obviously starving.
- 00:23:49.985 --> 00:23:53.054
- The captain said, "sergeant, give them something to eat."
- 00:23:53.054 --> 00:23:58.260
- The sergeant reached into his pack and pulled out a little
- 00:23:58.260 --> 00:24:02.097
- Loaf of bread and handed it to the mom.
- 00:24:02.097 --> 00:24:05.567
- And the mom took the bread and divided two pieces and gave one
- 00:24:05.567 --> 00:24:10.205
- Part to one child and one part to the other child and
- 00:24:10.205 --> 00:24:13.241
- Stepped back.
- 00:24:13.241 --> 00:24:16.778
- The sergeant watched that and looks at the captain and said,
- 00:24:16.778 --> 00:24:25.387
- "could it be that she is not hungry?
- 00:24:25.387 --> 00:24:30.392
- Could it be that she is not hungry?"
- 00:24:30.392 --> 00:24:36.298
- And then the captain in a husky voice says, "no, it's because
- 00:24:36.298 --> 00:24:45.507
- She's a mother."
- 00:24:45.507 --> 00:24:47.008
- Pastor ed: everybody in the world is hungry for something
- 00:24:49.044 --> 00:24:51.613
- That gives them assurance about the future and comfort about
- 00:24:51.613 --> 00:24:55.617
- What we are facing right today.
- 00:24:55.617 --> 00:24:59.120
- What all of us are looking for can only be found in god's word.
- 00:24:59.120 --> 00:25:04.626
- That's why now's the time to do all we can to share the proven
- 00:25:04.626 --> 00:25:09.898
- Truth of scripture with as many people as possible.
- 00:25:09.898 --> 00:25:14.636
- And so, with a gift today which will be worth double
- 00:25:14.636 --> 00:25:17.639
- Thanks to a special matching grant, we can help millions

- Through the broadcast and resources of "the winning walk"
- 00:25:22.677 --> 00:25:27.015
- And it's a winning walk, as you know, with jesus christ.
- 00:25:27.015 --> 00:25:30.852

- 00:25:30.852 --> 00:25:34.389
- And thank you for your contribution, for your prayers.

- Congratulations, thank you for being a part
- 00:25:44.866 --> 00:25:47.836
- Of "the winning walk" family.
- 00:25:47.836 --> 00:25:50.639
- Pastor ed: god takes the sacredness of life seriously.
- 00:25:50.705 --> 00:25:54.175
- He puts his stamp on each and every one of us, and we are
- 00:25:54.175 --> 00:25:57.178
- Individually shaped and formed by him.
- 00:25:57.178 --> 00:26:00.582
- That is why the psalmist wrote that we are fearfully and
- 00:26:00.582 --> 00:26:04.653
- Wonderfully made.
- 00:26:04.653 --> 00:26:06.454
- Therefore life is holy.
- 00:26:06.454 --> 00:26:08.289
- Life is sacred.
- 00:26:08.289 --> 00:26:09.991
- Today, we live in a culture of death, but even in the midst of
- 00:26:09.991 --> 00:26:13.395
- This cultural war, there is good news.
- 00:26:13.395 --> 00:26:18.266
- Our god is a god of redemption.
- 00:26:18.266 --> 00:26:21.169
- And i know that many of you watching this have been affected
- 00:26:21.169 --> 00:26:23.805
- By the pain of abortion, but our god is a god of second chances.
- 00:26:23.805 --> 00:26:29.644

- I turned from all the garbage in the past, and i look only to
- 00:26:46.594 --> 00:26:49.864
