I'm preaching this morning. Thank you. I'm 84 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: preaching this morning the part to what I started last 85 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: week on how to redeem your family name. You can 86 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: redeem your family name. When you think of a family, 87 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: you think of a name. Instantly something is attached to 88 00:10:52,200 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: that family name and what will be your legacy. I 89 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: am preaching today a story I have never preached on 90 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: until last Sunday and this Sunday and all the years 91 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: that I've been preaching. And the more that I look 92 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: into it, the more I see I saw in the scripture, 93 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: the fact that God can break cycles in families, that 94 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: just because a father decides to rebel against God doesn't 95 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: mean that the rest of the family, the seed, the sons, 96 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: the daughters, have to go that direction. The story is 97 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: told and set in Numbers, chapter sixteen, and we'll get 98 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: to it in just a moment. But these two young 99 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: we think that it was two young boys, two sons 100 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: of Cora, are noticing an increasing negative, bitter anger spirit 101 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: at constant complaining, and they're powerless to stop their once 102 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: spiritual father, once mightily anointed and used of God, Father 103 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: who has now become resentful and bitter and offended and 104 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: hurt at Moses, at Aaron, and at God himself. They're 105 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: powerless to stop their father's wounded spirit. The Bible talks 106 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: about in one of the books that the fathers eat 107 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: grapes and the children suffer the sourness of those grapes. 108 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: They eat sour grapes, and the children are affected by 109 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: the sour grapes that the fathers eat. This is an 110 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: amazing story of the potential for that to happen. But 111 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: these sons are watching their father being transformed into a monster, 112 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: an angry angry man who is upset at everything about 113 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: the House of God. Their father was the cousin of 114 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: Moses and Aaron. He was all the chosen by God, 115 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: tribe of Levi, he and his family to be chosen, handpicked, 116 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: cut out, separated from the rest of the congregation, and 117 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: chosen to be leaders in the tabernacle in the wilderness 118 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: the sacred beauty. Every time that the tabernacle moved, he 119 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: had to pack it up, and he was the one 120 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: that would was given the specific Different tribes had different 121 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: things that they were to do when they were moving 122 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: through the wilderness, but it was the Corah and his 123 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: family who had the items, the furniture, the holy furn 124 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: that was dedic that was declared by God Almighty. These 125 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: things are so holy that if any unauthorized person even 126 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: touches the brazen altar, even touches the brazen wash pan, 127 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: even touches the incense altar, if anyone unauthorized, the only 128 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: ones that I trust and authorize to touch these things 129 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: is Cora and his family. What an honor to be chosen. 130 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: And God gave specific instructions. He said, now all the 131 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: other stuff that's being packed up, the tents and the 132 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: and the tabernacle on the all these things that they had. 133 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: This tribe will do this, and this tribe will do that. 134 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: And they can have carts, and they can have an ox, 135 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: and they can put their heavy stuff on the cart 136 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: and carry it through the wilderness, and they can let 137 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: the ox pull the items own the cart. But when 138 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: it comes to these holy things that Cora and his 139 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: family are over, they are to take stabs and put 140 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: them through the golden rings, and he and his family 141 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: only are to get up under the weight. Because ministry 142 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: is a burden to carry. It never leaves you. If 143 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: a man, a woman, a pastor, and we have many 144 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: of them at every campus, youth pastors and their wives 145 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: and their children, it is inescapable that there is a 146 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: burden on our life that is very different from others. 147 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: There is a way that people perceive and look at us. 148 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: There is a even when you try to get away 149 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: from it, there is a burden. Even again, not just 150 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: senior pastors or youth pastors, but worship pastors. The weekend 151 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: rolls around in a mood swing, something happens. You never 152 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: become a normal person on the weekend like everybody else. 153 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: Even when I'm on vacation. I feel the weight the burden. 154 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: God says, if you're gonna receive the blessings of the ministry, 155 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: you have to be under the burden of the ministry. 156 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: You can't have the blessings without getting under the burden. Hello, 157 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: I'm Jensen Franklin, and I want to welcome you to 158 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: Real America's Voice. There's something that's gonna happen. I believe 159 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: as you watch this program, lean in, listen, and let's 160 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: see what God can do in your life. My goodness 161 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: to be chosen by God to be cut out, and 162 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: not only Cora but his family. What a privilege, What 163 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: an honor that God would use somebody, anybody that he 164 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: would pick and hand choose and give talents and gifts 165 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: and responsibilities, and say, now, this is going to be 166 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: a heavy load physically and spiritually on your life, on 167 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: your family, on everybody associated with you. There is a 168 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: price to pay. But you carry my glory and when 169 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: you understand that this unique privilege. But something happened after 170 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: years and years of doing it under the burden, something 171 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:58,959 Speaker 1: flipped in Cora, and he noticed Aaron getting the priest, 172 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: getting to do certain things that he didn't. He didn't 173 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: have to get up under the load. And Moses. But 174 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: what you don't know is they have their own load. 175 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: You don't know what they're dealing with. You don't know. 176 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: Just do what God's called you to do. Run in 177 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: your lane. But but here he is. Now he becomes envious, 178 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 1: and not only that, he becomes bitter in his spirit 179 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: because he and his family have to carry things through 180 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: the deck. Can you imagine, really, have you ever been 181 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: liking Arizona somewhere in a desert, it's it's it's not easy. 182 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 1: And then to carry stuff while moving miles a day, 183 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: it's a burden. The ministry hadn't changed. The heart of 184 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: the minister had become offended. And any time the heart 185 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: of the minister becomes offended, then they begin to look 186 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: at others and say, why does my family have to 187 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: go through this and their family does it? Why does 188 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: my family have to be like this and their families 189 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: don't have to be like this? And then something else happened. 190 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: This is all given in the scripture. I'm not gonna 191 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: take time just to please read these stories number sixteen. 192 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: You should read it for yourself this week and study it. 193 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: But what happened was two men begin to influence Kora. 194 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: They came into his life, Dathan and Byrom, and they 195 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 1: begin to stir up the wrong spirit, the wrong attitude 196 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: about ministry. And they told him you're being overlooked and 197 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: you're not being treated fair. And look at all of Moses. 198 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: He thinks he's it, he thinks he's something else, he 199 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 1: thinks he's a big deal. And they begin to criticize continually, 200 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: over and over, and it begins to spread like a 201 00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: plague throughout the whole congregation of Israel. Get two hundred 202 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: and fifty of the most prestigious. The Bible called them 203 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: famous people, famous people in number sixteen. And they rose 204 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: up with Coorra, with these other two leaders. But you 205 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: need to remember something that attitude shift, The attitude soured, 206 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: the words became criticism continually, continually on Coorra. That is 207 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: the spirit of Cora. Look at Moses, look at down. 208 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: What was once seen as a privilege became a problem. 209 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: What was once considered a blessing became a burden too 210 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: heavy to bear. What once was a high honor is 211 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: now an inconvenient inconvenience and something that's not worth it. 212 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to do it. Nothing had changed but 213 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: Cora's attitude. Why does my family have to walk and 214 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: everybody else gets to ride? Why do we have to 215 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: carry everything? Why is my family carrying burdens that no 216 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: other family has to carry a root of bitterness, a 217 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: root of offense, gets inside of him and moses every 218 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: time his name comes up in the family, he's being criticized. 219 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,959 Speaker 1: The sons of Cora, now listen, listen, your children are 220 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 1: watching you. If your parent, your children are watching your spirit. 221 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: They're infectious. Our spirits, our attitudes are absolutely infectious. And 222 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: the sons of Cora are watching, they're dead, become a 223 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: monster right before their eyes. Cora has chosen fools for 224 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: his companions, men who malt God and mack his leaders. 225 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: These two men, by Roman and the other Dathan, they 226 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: were fools. And the Bible said in Proverbs seventeen seventeen 227 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: that the companion of fools shall be destroyed. So it's 228 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: not just the fools that get destroyed. They didn't say 229 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: the fools will get destroyed. It said the companions with 230 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: them the shrapnel from being around fools and stupid people 231 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: who do nothing. But yeah, I said it. If you 232 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: do nothing but criticize the House of God, leadership, preachers 233 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: and Bible and Christians, and need to you need to 234 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: understand you are the companion of fools, and if you 235 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: like to hang out with those people, you are the 236 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 1: companion of fools. And when they go down, it's going 237 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: to hit you too. Preaching better than you're letting on. 238 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: The whole atmosphere of the family of Cora changes in 239 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: the home, the outburst of anger that cut it with 240 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: a knife, tension. They could not stop talking about what 241 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: had offended them. Look at Moses, Look at him makes 242 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: me sick. Now he's picking up stuff. But it's not 243 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: a joy anymore. It's not I can't believe I get 244 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: to do this. I can't believe I get to man. 245 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: I'm working for the King of Glory. I'm carrying the 246 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: beautiful types and pictures of everything that will come in 247 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: the flesh God manifests. Jesus Christ is in every one 248 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: of those anointed consecrated pieces of furniture, and me and 249 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: my family are chosen to stand before the congregation and 250 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: take these powerful types and shadows and show really they 251 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: were showing Jesus is coming. But instead now the spirit 252 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: is angry, and nobody could reason with Korra. Nobody could 253 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: stop the flood of criticism. Nobody could stop the fire 254 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: of bitterness. It was consuming, and he was totally, totally, 255 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: totally out of control. Listen three things. He's losing his ministry, 256 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: but he's not concerned. He's rebelling against God and he's 257 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:22,959 Speaker 1: not alarmed. He's hurting his own family, and he doesn't 258 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: even care anymore. It was his innocent sons who are 259 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: watching it unfold. They're watching their daddy get around the 260 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: wrong people. They're watching them in gossip sessions, attack and 261 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: criticize and say horrible things about everything in the tabernacle, 262 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: and the sons are watching this metamorphosis of what was 263 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: once a very powerful spiritual family now take on the 264 00:24:54,760 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: name of rebellion. Man's offense so erupts that it spreads 265 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: throughout the whole congregation, and then they charge the tabernacle, 266 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: and Moses and Aaron are there, and you pick up 267 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: the story and the scripture said in verse three of 268 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: number sixteen, and they rose up before Moses with certain 269 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes 270 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: of the Assembly famous in the congregation men of renown, 271 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: and they gathered themselves together and watched the arrogance. Watch. Watch. 272 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: They forgot this is watch. And they gathered themselves together 273 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: against Moses, against Aaron, and they said, you take too 274 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: much upon you seeing that all. Don't you know that 275 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: all the congregation are holy. You're nothing special. You make 276 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: me look at him, look at him. Every one of 277 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: us can do what you do. The Lord Lord is 278 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: among them. And it's not about Moses. It's about the 279 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: fact God chose Moses. He didn't choose him self. God 280 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: chose him. He was a flawed man, but God chose him. 281 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 1: God said, that's my friend you're talking about. In one 282 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: place in this story. Watch. He said, you lift yourself 283 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: up above the congregation of the Lord. Watch Moses. He 284 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: had to write spirit. The Bible said, he fell on 285 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: his face, and he spoke unto Korah, and he says 286 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: these words in verse nine. Is it a small thing? 287 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: Seemeth it a small thing? Under you? Listen? Have you 288 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: forgotten where you came from? Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten? 289 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: Listen to what he says? Is it a small thing 290 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: to you that the God of Israel separated you from 291 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: the congregation, to bring you near her to himself, to 292 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: do service of the tabernacle of the Lord, to stand 293 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: before the congregation to minister under them. And he brought 294 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: the Nearer to him, and all your brethren and all 295 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: your family, the Levi's. And now are you so are 296 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: you so called up that you are seeking the priesthood? 297 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 1: You're wanting to tell God he made a mistake with 298 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: Aaron and Moses, and shouldn't have chosen them, and they 299 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: should be just moved, and I should be. I'm tired 300 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: of being ignored. I'm tired of people. Do you see 301 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: the bitterness in that? And and and and and and 302 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but it's it's not a 303 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: small thing to me. Well I'm doing right now. It's 304 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: not a small thing. It's a fearful thing. It's a 305 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,239 Speaker 1: heavy thing, but it's also a joyful thing. I mean, 306 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: there was a time when I wondered would I ever 307 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: get to even preach? And now I preached the thousands 308 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: of people, and it's not a small thing. Now I 309 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: have not got used to it. I love that song. 310 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: Will you meet with me again? I can't do it? 311 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: Will you come one more time? Holy Spirit? This is 312 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: not something man takes unto himself. You cannot recreate this 313 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: with a with a seven year plan. It takes a 314 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: holy ghost. It takes the power to hit that upper room. 315 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: It takes fasting in prayer and being a friend of 316 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: God and pulling yourself away and carrying a burden. And 317 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: it wakes you up in the middle of the night 318 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: and it comes on you and you see faces, and 319 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: you hear things, and you write things, and it comes 320 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: from God. It's a big deal. When you begin to 321 00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: make it a little thing, it offends God. I have 322 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: never preached on this story, but it is, in my opinion, 323 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: the worst thing that ever happened in the Old Testament 324 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: is happening right here. And Moses verse twelve sent for 325 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: Dathan and a byrum this and listen, listen to their 326 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: listen to their spirit. And they said, listen to the pride, 327 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: listen to the arrogance toward spiritual really important. God has 328 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,239 Speaker 1: chosen these people. We we that we're not coming up 329 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: to you. We're not. We won't come. All of us need, 330 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: including this preacher, to remember that that we don't. God 331 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: does not. He's not interested in our rebellious attitude and 332 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: whom when the Lord loves. If you don't straighten it out, 333 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: the Lord will whip you whom the Lord loveth he whippeth. 334 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: That's a Bible verse. Turn to somebody and say you 335 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: might need a good whipping. Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, and 336 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: I want to welcome you to real America's voice. If 337 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: you'll give me the next few moments and listen, you're 338 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: going to have the opportunity, I believe, to have a 339 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: moment that can change your life. They wouldn't even meet 340 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: with Moses. Listen to what he said. The sons of 341 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: Korus spoke and they said, they said, you need to understand. 342 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: In verse thirteen, is it a small thing that you 343 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: have brought us out of the land flowing with milk 344 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: and honey. You brought us out of Egypt, and they're 345 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: calling the world milking honey to kill us in the 346 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: wilderness so you could make yourself a prince over us. Wow, 347 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: it's all about you. You're just a prince, Moses, aren't you. 348 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: You got us out here suffering in the wilderness. We 349 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: were in the land. This is how you know you're 350 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: hanging out with the wrong people when all they do 351 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: is criticize the Church. And they call the world the 352 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: land flowing with milk and honey. They call the party 353 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: life flowing with milk and honey. They call rebellion flowing 354 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: with milk and honey. They say the world is got 355 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: what the Church doesn't have. Let me tell you something. 356 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: The world does not have the land flowing with milk 357 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: and honey. It'll destroy you, it'll kill you, it'll wipe 358 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: you out, it'll addict you. This is the land, the 359 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: promised Land is the Kingdom. There is the church, and 360 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: he's pleading with them, and they're not listening. And all 361 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden, God shifts Moses, and in verse thirty two, 362 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: he says, put a distance between yourselves. They won't repent. 363 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: They're hard hearted, their negative, they're critical, they're full of 364 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: wrong attitudes. They're rebellious. And the boys are watching this. 365 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:54,239 Speaker 1: The family's watching this. Teenagers, boys are watching it. They 366 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: and the mother. I don't have time to read it. 367 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,719 Speaker 1: But the mother was with Cora. The other family members 368 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: were with Cora. But the sons of Cora when he 369 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: said separate, This is a gut wrenching decision. This is 370 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: a soul searching moment. This is a moment where Cora's 371 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: sons look at the situation. Moses said, everybody, get away 372 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: from them, get away from everything that pertains to them. 373 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: Get away from their tents, get away from everything they possess. 374 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: Don't touch any of it. Separate yourselves. And in that separation, 375 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: boys had to make a decision. Do I stand with 376 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: my father and follow the road that he's going down 377 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: of rebellion, or do I have a moment of decision 378 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: where I say, just because Dad and Mom are living there, 379 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: I don't want that life. I want Moses, I want 380 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: the law. I want what God has. I want where 381 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: God is shining his favor. I can't do it. I 382 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: love you Mom, I love you Dad, I love you siblings. 383 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: But two of those boys probably weeping, separated from their 384 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 1: own flesh and blood. And I just want to read 385 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: the simple scripture. It's so remarkable. Separate yourselves, Separate yourselves. 386 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: And he gathered the congregation at the door verse twenty one, 387 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: separates yourselves from the congregation, that I may consume them 388 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: in a moment. And Moses rose up and he spoke 389 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: to the congregation, and he said, depart, I pray you 390 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: from the tents. Of these wicked men, touch nothing lest 391 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: you be consumed in their sin. It says in the 392 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 1: next verse, toward the end the door of the tents, 393 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: their wives, their sons, their little children, all their sons, 394 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: the Byram sons, all the other guy's sons. All of 395 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: them were in the group that's about to get consumed. 396 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 1: But not the sons of Cora. They pulled themselves away. 397 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 1: I'm saying to you, just because your father was rebellious 398 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: and living a life of rebellion against God's will doesn't 399 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: mean you have to. Just because all your family is 400 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 1: dysfunctional and messed up doesn't mean you have to be. 401 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: Just because it's been alcohol for generations, does it mean 402 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: that you have to be an alcoholic. It does not. 403 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: You can make a decision to redeem your family name. 404 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 1: The sons of Cora said, no, I love you, I'll 405 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,879 Speaker 1: always love you. I'll be here, I'll shine a light. 406 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: But I cannot take my children and my children's children 407 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: down that path of anger and bitterness and cursing and 408 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: all kinds of hating the church and hating the ministry. 409 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 1: I can't do that. And it came to pass verse 410 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: thirty one, when he had ended all these speaking words, 411 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 1: the ground clave asunder that was under them. The earth 412 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: opened her mouth and swallowed them up. Their houses and 413 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,439 Speaker 1: all that pertained to the men of Cora and all 414 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: their goods. They and all that pertained to them went 415 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 1: down alive in the pit, and the earth closed upon them, 416 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: and they perished from among the congregation. And then verse 417 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,720 Speaker 1: thirty five, and there went out a fire from the Lord, 418 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: and he said, all of you who joined the rebellion, 419 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty of you, famous folks, who forgot 420 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: where your fame and your money, and your prestige and 421 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: your influence came from. You were nothing when I found you, 422 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: and I put Moses over you, and you prospered. But 423 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: now you think you big shots. He said, I got 424 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,720 Speaker 1: a little present for you. And the Bible said, fire 425 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: got out of that pit and just licked them up 426 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:09,399 Speaker 1: and pulled them in, and all of their families were ruined. Wow, 427 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: is this not the craziest story you've ever seen? And 428 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: and then the people. Then the people started saying Moses 429 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: was too strict, Moses was too strict. Oh God, Moses 430 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,240 Speaker 1: shouldn't have done that. And God said, oh, really, Moses 431 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: didn't do it. I did it, and then he sent 432 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: a pledg and fourteen thousand, seven hundred, like dominoes just 433 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: started falling, and it was spreading, and it gets right up, 434 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: and Aaron runs out with the censer and swings the 435 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: censor stands between the living and the dead. And when 436 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: he stood with intercession, and I'm telling you it matters 437 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 1: how this is powerful, and the pledge stopped, and that 438 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: would be just the saddest story. Ten chapters later, he 439 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: wants you to know this is the same story, because 440 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 1: he says, this is that Dathan, I want you to 441 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: be confused about any other ones in the Bible. This 442 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: is the same story. But then he says this, look 443 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: at that eleventh verst. All of them got devoreed, all 444 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: of them got jacked up, all of them hit by 445 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 1: judgment and died notwithstanding of sons of Cora said God, 446 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: we don't know what the future holds, but I have 447 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: decided to follow you. And as for me and my 448 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: house and my family name, it will not go down 449 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: in shame. It will not go down in bitterness, It 450 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 1: will not go down in defeat. It will not be 451 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 1: known forever by rebellion. Now here's the beautiful part I 452 00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: must go now. They're not sighting with their family. Their 453 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 1: sighting that is going to hell. They're siding and having 454 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: a holy rebellion. We need a generation of young people. 455 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: You know what I was talking about. Young people are rebellious, 456 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,240 Speaker 1: but we need some holy rebellion that says, just because 457 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 1: you've done that, I don't have to do it, And 458 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 1: just because you have acted that way and you don't 459 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: like God and you don't look like church, I don't 460 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: have to. I've got holy rebellion. I watch this just 461 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 1: because mom and dad didn't. The Bible reintroduces us. Everybody 462 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: say this story needs a sequel. The Bible reintroduces us 463 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: three generations later in the Book of Psalms to some 464 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 1: boys called the Sons of Cora, and they show up 465 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:03,280 Speaker 1: and write eleven Psalms are songs for all of Israel 466 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 1: to sing in the tabernacle and praise God. It was 467 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: a burden of our daddy, but it's a joy. I'm 468 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,399 Speaker 1: glad to get up under it. And it was hard, 469 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 1: and he was bitter about ministry, but I love ministry. 470 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 1: And they wrote these songs. You're not gonna believe this, 471 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: and we're gonna take a minute.

He was so critical and negative. 501 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 1: He says, I speak of things which I have made, 502 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,880 Speaker 1: touching the king. And listen to these words. My tongue, 503 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 1: I know, my great great granddaddy's tongue was cursing and 504 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 1: hating God, those blankety blank preachers. But my tongue is 505 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:36,719 Speaker 1: the pen of a ready writer. I've got to read 506 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: it because it just does something to me. In the 507 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 1: same chapter or the next chapter. Psalms forty six, it's 508 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: the song of the songs of the sons of Cora. 509 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 1: Listen to this, he says. Our God is a refuge 510 00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 1: and a strength, a very present help in the time 511 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:05,279 Speaker 1: of trouble. Who's writing this, folks, the sons of Cora. 512 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: We've been in trouble. Our famili's been in trouble. Our 513 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 1: family name has been in trouble. Our history has been 514 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: in our heritage, our inheritance has been in severe trouble. 515 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 1: But I found that God. I've got the tongue of 516 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 1: a ready writer to tell you that these all eleven 517 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: of these chapters reek with thankfulness and gratitude, thankfulness and gratitude. 518 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,959 Speaker 1: Oh God, I have a tongue of a ready writer. 519 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 1: I want to tell people how good you are. I'm 520 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 1: not bitter, I'm not angry, I'm not hurt, I'm joyful, 521 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm thankful. Then he says this. He says, though therefore 522 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:55,399 Speaker 1: we will not fear though the earth be removed. Well, 523 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: he was there when the earth was removed. He was 524 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 1: there when the ground swallowed up his relatives and his 525 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 1: whole family name. But he said, I've been through that 526 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 1: trouble with the family, and God is a present help 527 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 1: in the time of trouble. And I'm redeeming my family 528 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,360 Speaker 1: name by writing that God is faithful no matter what 529 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: you go through. Almost done, I'm not gonna do. I 530 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,399 Speaker 1: know you're thinking He's gonna do all eleven chapters knowing 531 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: not just relax, He writes in that same chapter, verse 532 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,840 Speaker 1: chapter forty six, verse ten, be still and know that 533 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 1: I Am God. And some people misquote that scripture as 534 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,880 Speaker 1: though there shouldn't be any shouting, shouldn't be any clapping, 535 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,680 Speaker 1: waving hands and getting with it in the service. That's 536 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 1: be still some of you's favorite sermons or his favorite 537 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 1: texts in the Bible. Be still because you do it 538 00:45:54,640 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 1: the whole service, except the altar call. Be still and 539 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 1: know that I Am God. You know what he's saying 540 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:09,839 Speaker 1: if you literally look that word. Still internally, no matter 541 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,479 Speaker 1: how real the trouble is, no matter how the earth 542 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 1: is shaking and things are being removed and it feels 543 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: like your family is going down, be still internally from anxiety, panic, fear, worry, torment, 544 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 1: vexation of spirit. Don't be still and know that even 545 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 1: in the midst of whatever, I am God. They could 546 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 1: write it because they went through it. On the inside, 547 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 1: be still. But then they write Psalms forty seven, the 548 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:44,400 Speaker 1: Sons of Cora, first verse, on the outside, on the inside, 549 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,720 Speaker 1: be still, be at peace, be at rest, don't worry, 550 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 1: don't fear. But on the outside, clap your hands, Oh 551 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:56,920 Speaker 1: you people, shout under God with the voice of triumph. 552 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm done except for one more verse, one 553 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 1: more verse, they wrote Psalms eighty four. You're not gonna 554 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:20,320 Speaker 1: believe it, but one day in thy courts, it's better 555 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 1: than a thousand elsewhere. Listen to these words. I had 556 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 1: rather there's no bitterness here. I know that I don't 557 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 1: have that of an important name or position like Moses. 558 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,840 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you seemingly and yet it was huge. 559 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:45,359 Speaker 1: He said, I'd rather be a doorkeeper. You know who 560 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 1: wrote that, the Sons of cor I'd rather be a 561 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:53,920 Speaker 1: doorkeeper in the house of God than to twelve in 562 00:47:54,120 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 1: the tents. Remember that's where God's judgment fell. He said, 563 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:05,239 Speaker 1: I'd rather be in the house of God. Give me 564 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,400 Speaker 1: anything to do. I'll sit there and pay my tithes 565 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 1: and worship God and love people and shake hands and 566 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 1: pat on the back and pray with people. I'd rather 567 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:21,440 Speaker 1: be a doorkeeper in the house of God than have 568 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,480 Speaker 1: be a part of the biggest seen in Hollywood or 569 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,439 Speaker 1: in any other place that the world has off
