1 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, and I'm so glad you were 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,159 Speaker 1: watching Real America's Voice, and I want to encourage you 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: today to know that Normally, I know you're used to 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: seeing the news being broadcast twenty four hours a day 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: all over the world, but the founder of this network 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: wanted to take some time on this Sunday and bring 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: some good news to all the other news. What you 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: do with the next few moments can affect the years 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: ahead of your life. Selena, in listen to this message, 10 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: I believe it's going to speak to you, and you're 11 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: going to encounter a God who loves you and cares 12 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: about you this very moment. Look with me today. In 13 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: the Book of John, chapter nineteen, John chapter nineteen, Verse 14 00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: twenty five, Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, 15 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: his mother and his mother's sister, Mary, the wife of Clophus, 16 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, the Disciple, 17 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: whom he loves, standing by, he said to his mother, woman, 18 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: behold your son. Then he said to the Disciple, behold 19 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: your mother. And from that hour the Disciple took her 20 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: to his own home. I love this text. I love 21 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: this story. And recently I saw it in a different light. 22 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: And I want to talk to you for a few 23 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: moments today on the subject of God's tiny details in 24 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: our life. Sometimes we really are good at praising Him 25 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: for the big things that he does. I've had God 26 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: do be things in my life. I've had days that 27 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: were days that were huge breakthroughs and answers to prayer 28 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: and things that just blew my mind. The big things, 29 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: especially the day that He saved me. I mean, I 30 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: got born again in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. That was 31 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: a night is actually in the evening that I will 32 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: never forget. It was amazing. But I also thank God, 33 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: and I think we ought to be mindful of the 34 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,279 Speaker 1: tiny things, the details. Someone said the Devil's in the details, 35 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: but really he's not. He's not in the details. He 36 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: sees you as a number. When the Antichrist comes on 37 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: the scene, He's gonna give you a number. That's all 38 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: he cares. You're just a number to him. But God 39 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: is in the details of our life. I've seen him 40 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: do big things, but sometimes it's the little things, the 41 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: detailed things, the the cater just for me, things that 42 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: blow my mind. When I think of Calvary. It was 43 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: God reaching for us, and it was such a big thing. 44 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: This man, Jesus Christ, the expressed image of God, this 45 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: man Jesus Christ, who was one hundred percent human, except 46 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: he never committed a sin. He could have, he had 47 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: the body to commit a sin, but he stayed fully 48 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: submitted to the Father, and he was sinless. He was 49 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: capable of sin, but he didn't do it, and he 50 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: continually moved in submission to the Father. And the writer 51 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: Paul said that in him dwelleth all of the fullness 52 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: of God bidily. I love that verse. That is, in Jesus, 53 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: all of the fullness that God is was somehow compounded 54 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: and put in that flesh man, one human being named Jesus. 55 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: All of the Godhead bodily was manifest in him, and 56 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: through him they took him to the cross. The brutality 57 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: of human hatred compiled with the brutality of demonic hatred. 58 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: I believe there were hordes of demons that were swirling 59 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 1: around Mount Calvary. I believe they were whispering into people's ears, 60 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: into the soldiers and into the bystanders, whispering, slap him, 61 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: hit him, They ripped his beard, they beat his back. 62 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: I could almost see in my mind demons whisper. Hit 63 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: him harder, spit on him, slap him, drive the nails 64 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: in his hand, stab him with the spear, drive it 65 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: deeper and harder, hurt him. And then we come to 66 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: the verse chapter nineteen, verse twenty five, and they're standing 67 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: by the cross. Was his mother, and I don't know 68 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: what she was thinking. Let's put ourself in her shoes 69 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: for just a moment, and you're just gonna have to 70 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: stay with me. I'm going somewhere. We're gonna get there. 71 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: But let me tell you what's on my heart. I 72 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: saw it like this this week. I saw Mary standing 73 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: there looking up at the cross, her son. I wonder 74 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: where her mind went. I wonder if her mind went 75 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: to the first day that he was born, and how 76 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: that on the eighth day she and his stepfather, Joseph 77 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: took him to the temple to be circumcised, as the 78 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: law demanded, And there was an old prophet in the temple. 79 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: The Bible said that had been given a word from 80 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: God that you will not see death until your eyes 81 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: behold the Messiah of Israel. And think of it. When 82 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: Joseph and Mary walked across the threshold of that temple 83 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: and walked into that building. You have to understand, the 84 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: glory of God had left the temple when they stole 85 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: the felsting, stole the ark of the Covenant, and it 86 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: was never returned, and for over six hundred years there 87 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: was no glory scene in the temple. But when they 88 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: brought that little baby across the threshold, the glory came 89 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: back to the temple. And I don't know where he was, 90 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what he was doing, but somewhere in 91 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: that stole. In this story, Semi turns. He feels the 92 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: glory of the presence of God is in this place. 93 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: What is going on? It's tingling with his presence. And 94 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: he walks over and he sees this young couple standing 95 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: there and the baby's wrapped up, and he takes the 96 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: cloth and looks at the face of the baby, and 97 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: suddenly he knows that he knows that he knows my 98 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: eyes have seen the Messiah, and he says, now I 99 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: can die in peace. The Messiah has come to Israel. 100 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: Then he starts to leave, but he points his finger 101 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: and he says, and a sword too. Mary, the mother 102 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: of Jesus, and a sword shall pierce your soul. I wonder, 103 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: as she was standing there at the cross at that moment, 104 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: could it have been that one of the soldiers stabbed 105 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: him in the side and pierced him, and the blood 106 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: and the water poured forth. And I wonder if in 107 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: that moment she thought, is that what he was talking 108 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: about thirty three years ago? Had a sword would pierce 109 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: my soul? It feels like it. I wonder if her 110 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: mind went somewhere else. I wonder if it went to 111 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: the first miracle Jesus ever performed, and how that he 112 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: was at the party. He was at the reception of 113 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: the wedding, but they had run out of wine, and 114 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: his mother said, they've run out of wine. I've watched you. 115 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: And I don't know how she knew he could do miracles. 116 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: He had never done a miracle. But I'm gonna preach 117 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: his sermons my sermon, and preach it like I want to. 118 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: But in your imagination, in my imagination, I think he 119 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: might have practiced as a little kid. He might have 120 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: had a dead cat or something around the house. And 121 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: I can't prove it, but I've got a feeling he 122 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: touched a skint knee and it instantly he and and 123 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: then he just said, just be quiet about it. But 124 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: somehow she knew this man's gotten this boy's got miracle power. 125 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: You'd never done anything publicly, but mothers just know. And 126 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: she looks at him and she says, do something. And 127 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: he says, woman, first of all, he's on dangerous ground. Woman, 128 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: what what does this have to do with me. Listen 129 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: to it. My time has not come. And she totally 130 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: ignores him and turns and says, whatever he tells you 131 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: to do to the servants, do it, now do something, 132 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: and she triggered him. Look at this, she triggered him. 133 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: He's clearly said, my this is God. And this mother said, 134 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: I'm taking my authority over you, little boy, and I've 135 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: done a lot for you, including changing your diapers, and 136 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 1: now that I want something out of you, get to it. 137 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: And Jesus step right up and turned the water and 138 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: into wine, and thus began the miracles that would change 139 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: the world. I wonder, I wonder if her mind went there. 140 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: But when he was on that cross, this is the 141 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: part that I'm trying to get to. As he is 142 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: running out of air, as he is becoming weaker and 143 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: weaker from the loss of blood, and his body is 144 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: sagging on that cross, and he knows this is close 145 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: to the end. Pushes himself up and he looks down 146 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: and he sees his mother in that moment. He says, mother, 147 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: behold your son. And he says to John's son, behold 148 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: your mother. I'm committing her now. I want you to 149 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: think about what I'm trying to say. Is this. We 150 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is He's dying for billions and 151 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: billions and billions of souls. And it's true, how important 152 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: was this moment He's dying, he's bleeding, he's shedding his 153 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: blood so that we could have eternal life, so that 154 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: we could live forever, so that we could have healing, 155 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: so that we could have miracles, so that we could 156 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: be blessed. But then he goes to the tiny details 157 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: before I leave this world. I'm stopping and putting everything 158 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: on Paul's Demons are watching, angels are watching, all of 159 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: heaven is watching. And he puts everything. Billions of souls 160 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: lie in at state and he freezes everything, and he says, 161 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to get into the details of this precious woman, 162 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: my mother. I want her taken care of when I leave, 163 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: take care of my mother, the God of the big stuff. 164 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: And what did that mean to her? Because on another 165 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 1: occasion when he started his ministry, he was doing mighty 166 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: miracles and the place was filled, and they came to 167 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: him and said, Jesus, Jesus, you got to shut this 168 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: down because your mother and your half brothers are here 169 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: to see you. And Jesus said, who is my mother 170 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: and who are my brothers except you who hear the 171 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: word and do it. But this was almost like Jesus saying, 172 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: I can't leave here without getting into the details of 173 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: this one person. I love her so much that I'll 174 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: interrupt everything I'm doing so that she will know I 175 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: care about the details of the rest of your life. 176 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: I want you taking care of That's the kind of 177 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: God that we have, That's the kind of God that 178 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: we serve. He came as a man to let us 179 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: know how much he loves us. I tell you, that's 180 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: a big thing, the huge, amazing love of God. How 181 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: many of you are thankful that He saved you. Can 182 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: we just take a moment think about that, But can 183 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: we go a little bit further and say, yeah, he 184 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: did a big amazing thing at Calvary. But it didn't 185 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: stop at Calvary. If we were all to tell the truth. 186 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: Psalm sixty eight and nineteen said this same God, blessed 187 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: be the Lord God, that daily loadeth us down with benefits. 188 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: He daily, every day he looks down. Every day, he 189 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: looks at us every day. He takes care of us 190 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: every day. Daily he loads us down. He's into the detail. 191 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: Da Vinci is famous for his paintings, especially one of 192 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: an old man, because it is so detailed. According to 193 00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: the art critics, there is even a condition that is 194 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: known in science and in medicine, and they said that, 195 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: for example, one of the persons who have had this 196 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: condition that makes them be able to see in details 197 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: what other people cannot see. He was a great baseball 198 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: player by the name of Babe Ruth, and he had 199 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: this condition and his ability to look at a baseball, 200 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: and when he would see the baseball, somehow he could 201 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: see the detail in such detail that they said he 202 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: could see the red threads on the baseball as it 203 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: was coming at him at ninety six miles an hour. 204 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: And there's been a lot of books written about it. 205 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: You can check it out it's pretty amazing. He's pretty fascinating. 206 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: Da Vincia had that kind of eye for details. Babe 207 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: Ruth had that kind of eye for details. But I 208 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: want to tell you our God has an eye. He 209 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: can see in slow motion. He can slow things down. 210 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: He can see deeper than any nobody can see. Inside 211 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: of your home, inside of your life, inside of your fears, 212 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: inside of your situations that you think he doesn't know about. 213 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: He's working things that you can't even imagine because he's 214 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: the God of details. Give him a praise if you 215 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: believe it. Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, and I want to 216 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: welcome you to Real America's Voice. There's something that's going 217 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: to happen, I believe as you watch this program, lean in, listen, 218 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: and let's see what God can do in your life 219 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: the details that he took care of. I thought about 220 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: give you a couple more biblical illustrations, and I'm go'n 221 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: close with a story. I thought about Joseph, not of 222 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: the Old Testament, but of the New Testament, the step 223 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: father of Jesus. I mean, he is the throwaway cast 224 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: member of the story. He he don't you just kind 225 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: of feel sorry for him. An angel shows up to 226 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: Mary and says, you're gonna get pregnant by God. The 227 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: Holy Spirit will bring brilliants and glory, and you will 228 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: be a virgin, and you'll be impregnated. You'll and he 229 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: just has to accept it. He kind of gets the 230 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: raw deal of everything. He's just kind of a throwaway 231 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: kind of character in the story. But it's kind of 232 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: interesting how God gets into details, because no, he did. 233 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: He was not the father of the Messiah. He was 234 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: the step father. But when the angel comes to warn 235 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: them to take the family to Egypt because Herod was 236 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: going to try to kill all the babies, the angel 237 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: did not show up like he did the first time 238 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: to Mary. The angel showed up to Joseph and said, 239 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: if I'm going to give direction to a family, I'm 240 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: not going around you. I'm giving you the direction, the 241 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 1: details of where to go. And then that same angel 242 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 1: appeared and said, now bring your family out. But he 243 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: did not appear to Mary. He appeared to Joseph, the 244 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: person that we think God doesn't really see. He's supporting cast, 245 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: he's not the star of the show. But God sees 246 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: in details. And by the way, after Mary had Jesus 247 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: and gave birth to him. Joseph and Mary had several 248 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: more children, including James the Apostle who wrote the Book 249 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: of James, and Jude the Apostle who wrote the Book 250 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: of Jude. He was a pretty powerful father. God has 251 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: a way just because you feel like that you're not 252 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: doing what somebody else does. Don't you ever feel like 253 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: God doesn't see your part in what you Just do 254 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: what He's called you to do, and he will reward 255 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 1: you accordingly. I need somebody to praise him right now. 256 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: He didn't get left out. When you sign contracts at work, 257 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: they'll say, now, look real good at the big writing, 258 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: but look even better at the little writing, because the 259 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: details matter. Nobody's in the details. Like God. He knows, 260 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: according to Psalms one thirty eight, he knows you're down 261 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: sitting and your upright. He knows the number of hairs 262 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: that are on your head. He knows your address, He 263 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 1: knows your family, he knows your children, he knows your grandchildren, 264 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: he knows every detail of your family. You say, I 265 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: know that I didn't come to church just to hear that. Well, 266 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: but you don't understand it like you need to understand it. 267 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: Let me give you one more biblical example, and then 268 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to close with a story. Jesus took mud 269 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: and slapped them on the blind man's eyes and spit 270 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: and told him to go to the pool of Salom 271 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: in washing. He goes and he washes the mud out, 272 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: and he gets so excited because while he's washing the 273 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: mud out in the pool of Salon, he looks down 274 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: and sees in the ripples in the water. For the 275 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: first time, he sees his own face. And he really 276 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: starts washing and he gets excited and oh my god, 277 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: I could see, I can see, and he it's the Sunday, 278 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: it's the Sabbath. On the they were so strict that 279 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: you couldn't you couldn't exert energy on the Sabbath. But 280 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: he takes off running, the Bible said, running through the streets, 281 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: burst through the doors of the of the synagogue, ran 282 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: down the aisles, leaping and jumping, saying, I can see. 283 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: I was born blind. 284 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 2: I can see. 285 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: He interrupted the dead boring service, And can we just 286 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: pause one minute? When I said that, I noticed you 287 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: sat real quiet, but you were blind. That's the amazing 288 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: big thing. That's the big deal. When your eyes God 289 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: opened to who Jesus is. Nobody praised him for that 290 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: just a minute. I could be lost, I could be 291 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: left out, I could be somewhere out in the world somewhere, 292 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: but here I am in God's house. I was blind. 293 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: Now I see, and I can't be quiet about it. 294 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: I've got a praise and he means everything to me. 295 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: And those mean pharisees. A guy's never seen and they 296 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: stop him. I don't know if their ushers tackled him. 297 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if they had one of those stun guns. 298 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what they did. But they pulled him 299 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: to the to a still stop. And suddenly the pharisees say, 300 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: you are sinning. You should be quiet and calm down, 301 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: and how dare you exert such energy in the house 302 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: of God? And he said, I'm sorry. I believe he 303 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: was hyped. I'm sorry, but I was blind. I couldn't see. 304 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: I was a packer all my life. But Jesus has 305 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: opened my eyes, and you want me to be quiet, 306 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: And she and they say, how did we know? This 307 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: is so funny, this is literally what they did in 308 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: front of everybody. How did we know you were blind? 309 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: Really blind from birth? And he said, my parents are here. 310 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: And his parents were so weak they flew him under 311 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: the bus. Watch this, and he's called into his parents 312 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,719 Speaker 1: and they said, what's he blind from birth? And they said, uh, 313 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: ask him. And they asked him and they said, we 314 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: believe that Jesus of Nazareth did this by demonic empowerment, 315 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: and he's a devil. What do you say? And boy, 316 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: he had a brilliant answer. He said, I don't know 317 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: who he is. All I can tell you is I 318 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: was blind when I met him, and I can see 319 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: right now. So you call him whatever you want to 320 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: call him. I call him healer, I call him deliver. 321 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: He Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, and I want to welcome 322 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: you to Real America's voice.

This is the part we read and nobody 328 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: ever preaches about that story, but it's there. They forbid 329 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: him in the temple, they cast him out of the temple. 330 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: You broke our rules. Get out. They shamed him. And 331 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: the man who had been blind, who ought to be 332 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: having the biggest, grandest day of his life, celebrating and 333 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: meeting more than voices, faces that he had been around 334 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: his whole life, Now he finds himself ostracized and all alone. 335 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: The Bible said, he was sitting alone. I don't know 336 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: what he was doing. I don't know if he had 337 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he was just amazed. He 338 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: might have been looking at birds, looking at tree. I've 339 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: got a feeling. But all of a sudden approaching him 340 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: as a tall, lean Galilean. And he came to him 341 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,479 Speaker 1: when the church threw him out, and he walked up 342 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: to him, and he said, would you believe on the 343 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: Son of God? And suddenly I could see him in 344 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: my mind. He did not recognize his face, he had 345 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: never seen him, but he thought, oh my God, that's 346 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: that voice. And he whirled around and he said, Lord, 347 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: I believe, and he fell it his speak. Now, now, 348 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: the big miracle was the opening of the blind eyes. 349 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: But the details is when God comes to you after 350 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: he saves you, and he finds you in brokenness all 351 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: along by yourself thinking why has this happened? Like it's happened, 352 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: but he walks into the details. He wanted that man 353 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: to know I didn't just use you for a miracle. 354 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: I really do love you. And God's love is in 355 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: the details, honeylujah. And if I were to take this 356 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: microphone right here, right now, and I were to walk 357 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: around and I were to put it in people's face, 358 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: and I would say, I want you to tell me 359 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: about a detail that God has done for you. I 360 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: know he's done big things, but there's little things that 361 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: he's done that have just because they're personal, because they're detailed, 362 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: because it's like this couldn't have happened any other way 363 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: unless God did it. And I want to tell you 364 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: a story in closing. It's in one of my books. 365 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: I know it's in my book because I tore it 366 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: out of my book. But let me close with his story. 367 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: And I started to just read it because it's written perfectly, 368 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: and you know how I talk. But I'm gonna just 369 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: sum it up real fast, talking about the God of details. 370 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 1: One Saturday night, many many years ago, when we were 371 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: in the old building. We'd just gotten in it. We 372 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: weren't in it that long. I think we were in it, 373 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: but barely in it. We only had one service. And 374 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: I had a dream on a Saturday night in my bed, 375 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: and it was the most unusual dream I've ever had 376 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: in my life. It was in technicolor, just like I 377 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: see you, I mean, as clear as I see you 378 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: right now. I was aware that I was dreaming, but 379 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: also knew that I was there. And I was walking 380 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: into a funeral home and I walked up to a 381 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: miniature casket. The lid was open, and I looked down 382 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: and I saw my three year old daughters face, Chrissa. 383 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 1: She was dead and she was in that coffin, and 384 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: I felt like I don't even know how to describe 385 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: what I felt. I instantly woke up. I was devastated. 386 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: I reached over and I woke Cherisa up, and I 387 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: told her what had happened, and we began to cry, 388 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: and we began to pray. The presence of God filled 389 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: that bedroom. I really never went back to sleep. I 390 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: came in early that morning into my office, still moved 391 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: deeply by what I saw, and I grabbed a pad 392 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: and a piece of paper, and I had my sermon 393 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: prepared and the Lord gave me these words, just clear 394 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: as I can hear my own voice right now, cancel 395 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: the devil's assignment over your kids. Cancel the devil's And 396 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: I preached the sermon that morning. I'm so glad we 397 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: did have video back. Good that somewhere we have that video. 398 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: Canceled the devil's assignment over your family. I walked into 399 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: that Sunday morning service and I admit I was, I was, 400 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: I was. God was messing with me. He gave me 401 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: that sermon. Within minutes, I knew exactly where to go, 402 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: said go to Mark chapter five. Now do this, now 403 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: do this. It was. It was unbelievable. I wish he'd 404 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: do that every week. It doesn't work that way. And 405 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: I got up that Sunday morning and I preached that 406 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: simple message and the power of God wrecked the place 407 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: and I invited the mother's, fathers and parents to come on, 408 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: behalf of your family and cancel the devil's assignment. And 409 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: it stands out to this day as one of the 410 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: most memorable services I have ever been in in my life. 411 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: There was the thing that stood out to me is 412 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: I remember there was a groaning, there was a it's 413 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: almost like that verse where it says Rachel weeping for 414 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: her children. There was a deep intercession. Hundreds and even 415 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of people lingered. They were all the 416 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: way up the aisles and families praying, families holding one another, 417 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: pleading the blood of Jesus, canceling the devil's assignments after 418 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: the service. It's hard to shake some services. I'll be honest. 419 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes I walk out and it's hard for me to 420 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: go out to eat. It's hard. I still feel it 421 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: all over me. I don't know if that makes sense, 422 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: but it's just just the truth. You're not always there. 423 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: You're a little cloudy when you come out of service 424 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: like that, You're somewhere else. Honeylujah. How long has it 425 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: been since you've been in a service where you went 426 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: somewhere else for a little while? You say, where's that? 427 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: In the Bible, John said, I was in the spirit 428 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: on the Lord's Day, and he took me. He took me. Hello, 429 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: I'm Jensen Franklin, and I want to welcome you to 430 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: Real America's voice. Maybe you've been going through some things 431 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: and you've had moments that have discouraged you, or maybe 432 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: you just feel like you've messed up and you can't recover. 433 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: This message is for you. I believe it's going to 434 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: speak to you this very moment. Now we start to leave. 435 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm almost done, but we leave, and and Charise, it 436 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: was just glorious. God moved. We felt peace. I mean, 437 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: we had breakthrough. We felt peace, we felt victory, and 438 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: I felt relief. And Churis came up and she said, now, Jensen, 439 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: I want us to go on to Florida. We were 440 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: scheduled to go on a vacation with our family, Courtney 441 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: and CHRISA. Do we have Caroline then? I don't think 442 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: she was born. It was just Courtney and Carissa, and 443 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: Carisa was the second child. She was three years old 444 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: and Courtney would have been five. I guess five or 445 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: six something like that. But just go with it. We 446 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: were scheduled to go and leave on Monday to drive 447 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: down to Disney World with our kids. And Cherise was 448 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: so just intent. We've got to go. We've got to go. 449 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: I want us to leave today. I said, I've got 450 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: a service. Back then we had Sunday. Now I've got 451 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: a service. I can't just leave. She said, oh, And 452 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: I said, I can't just leave my church. Oh oh, 453 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: it's your church. I thought it was God's church. I 454 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: hate that stuff. I tell you, I want to go. 455 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: If we go early, we can go to sea World. 456 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: If we'll go one day early, we can add one day. 457 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: I'll have the hotel for Monday night and we can go. 458 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: We can go to SeaWorld. And I said, okay, you know, 459 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: I think she already had the car pack. She did, 460 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: so she knew the story. We get in the car 461 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: and we drive a day early, watch the details, and 462 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: we get to sea World and a storm comes make 463 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: a long story short. Lightning flash hits a building, sets 464 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: it on fire. We're standing up there and it feels 465 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: like a tornade, us coming and five thousand people run 466 00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: for shelter up under thing that covered people from the elements, 467 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: and we're grabbing our stuff, and she grabbed one of 468 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: the children, and Carissa starts going up the steps. She 469 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: got away from us, and boy, we're all just panicking 470 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: and moving, but we're watching her and we're going to 471 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: get her. When we get up there, where's a little 472 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: more space. And as we're going up the steps, we 473 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 1: get up there and finally, I mean, it really breaks 474 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: out and there's lightning. It everywhere in booms and the 475 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: kids are hysterical, and we look and see Carissa and 476 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: she's going berserk. And Ersa gets down and says, come here, baby, 477 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: come here, baby, come here, and she runs right past her, 478 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: and there was a young twenty six year old girl 479 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: standing that she had never met. We didn't know these people. 480 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: And she ran right to the girl, into her arms, 481 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: and the girl picked her up and held her, and 482 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: Carissa grabbed her by the neck, my three year old, 483 00:34:55,080 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 1: and just began to hold her so tight. Seri said, 484 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: come on, baby, come on. She would not do it, 485 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: and she was real clingy to chericse she would not 486 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: do it. She would not do it. We're standing there, 487 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: the storm's going on. This girl's standing there and she 488 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: is not crying a tear. She is weeping, holding our baby, 489 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 1: and our baby is holding her. And as the storm 490 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: starts calming down, we walk over and Seri said, to me, 491 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 1: get our baby. Something weird is going on. And I 492 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: walked over and I said, is everything okay? And the 493 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: mother starts weeping. There's a man, an older man, and 494 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: his wife, and I found out later that was the 495 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: mother and father of the young twenty six year old, 496 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: and she said, you just don't understand, You just don't understand. 497 00:35:55,360 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: She lost her three year old child one month ago 498 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: of congestive heart failure in the middle of the night. 499 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 1: We've been trying to get her out of the house 500 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: for three months and she has gone nowhere. This is 501 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: the first place we have been in three months. And 502 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: your daughter, how old is she? She's three. Well, she 503 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,800 Speaker 1: won't let her go. And the girls standing there weeping, 504 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: and suddenly we all come together, and then instantly the 505 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: Lord said, tell her about the dream. Tell this family 506 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: about the dream. So people were kind of moving and 507 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: things were calming down, but we got to ourselfs and 508 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,839 Speaker 1: we start talking and I said, I've got to tell 509 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: you something. I said, I'm a preacher, and I said, 510 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: this past Saturday night, I had a dream and I 511 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: saw my three year old in a coffin in the dream. 512 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: And I told my church about it. And I said, God, 513 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 1: let me feel your grief. And he wanted you to know. 514 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,399 Speaker 1: And I said, we're not supposed to be here. We 515 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: were supposed to be driving here today. We did not 516 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: intend to come to Sea World. But there's don't you 517 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: see what I'm saying, God in his love says I'll 518 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 1: rearrange things. Suddenly the girl begins to just weep and 519 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: cry and say this is amazing. She recognizes God's doing something. 520 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: Chrissa kind of calmed down, and we kept saying come on, 521 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: come on, and she would not come to us. And 522 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 1: Chrissa starts playing with a pair of pearls that's around 523 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: a string necklace that the girl had, and she starts 524 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: playing with it in the girl and hooks it. Listen 525 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 1: to the details, and she says, this is the necklace 526 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: that my child had in the coffin. I want her 527 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,840 Speaker 1: to have it. It's meaningful to me because it means 528 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: that I'm releasing her to God. And I told her 529 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 1: the story of how that David lost a son, a 530 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: little baby, and he said, I can't bring that child back, 531 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:21,800 Speaker 1: but I'll go where he is. And she received the Lord, 532 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: and she got right with God, and she left with hope, 533 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 1: and we left with victory. What I'm trying to tell 534 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: you is God is a god of details, and he'll 535 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: reach anyone that you'll pray and believe for.
