Selena, in listen to 10 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: this message. I believe it's going to speak to you, 11 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: and you're going to encounter a God who loves you 12 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 1: and cares about you this very moment. I want you 13 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: to open your Bibles with me this morning to the 14 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: Book of Jeremiah, Chapter thirty eight, Verse nine, my Lord 15 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: the King, these men have done evil in that they 16 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: have what they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom 17 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: they cast into a dungeon, and listen to these words. 18 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: He is likely to die. He is likely to die. 19 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,559 Speaker 1: He's in a dungeon. And I hope that while I preach, 20 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: somebody comes to your mind. They're in a dungeon, and 21 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: if something doesn't change, they're likely to die from hunger 22 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: in the place where he is, for there is no 23 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: more bread in the city. Then the king commanded Ibid 24 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: Melick the Ethiopian, saying, take from here thirty men with you, 25 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon before 26 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: he dies. And Melick took the men with him and 27 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: went into the house of the king. Listen under the treasury, 28 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: under the treasury, and they took from. 29 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: Their old clothes and old rags. 30 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: Some translations say dirty old rags, and let them down 31 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: buy ropes into the dungeon to Jeremiah. Then Ebid Melick 32 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, please put these old clothes 33 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: and rags under your arms, under the ropes. And Jeremiah 34 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: did so, and they pulled Jeremiah up with the ropes 35 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: and lifted him out of the dungeon, out of the 36 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: muck the maya, the. 37 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 2: Pit that he will surely die in. 38 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: One of the messengers said, if we don't get him 39 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: out of it, of you my title just a moment, 40 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: But this is an amazing story. This man, Jeremiah, who 41 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: was set apart by God, had a powerful destiny and 42 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: call on his life before he was ever born, before 43 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: he was in his mother's wound. The text said in 44 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: Jeremiah one that he was called and ordained to be 45 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: a prophet to nations, and yet he finds himself sinking 46 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: and dying in a pit, a dungeon, the muck. It 47 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: gives descriptions in the Book of Jeremiah of this pit 48 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: that it was sinking mud and felt, and he's dying. 49 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: He's starving to death there. He may have never made 50 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: it out of the pit. If there had not been 51 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: for dirty rags that rescued him and pulled him out 52 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: of the pit, he would have died. He's going to die, 53 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,839 Speaker 1: the messenger said to the king if we don't do 54 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: something to get him out of the pit. Culture change 55 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: is not easy. Recovery is not easy. Friend change is 56 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: not easy. Habits that are hard to break is not easy. 57 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: And people can want it, but the ropes are not offered. 58 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: And if they're not offered, and if somebody doesn't help 59 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: someone in this condition, then they will die. They will 60 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: die in that filth. They'll die in that dungeon. But 61 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: the king heard the story, and the King said, I 62 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: want him out now. I'm going to use unusual means 63 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: to get him out. I want you to go to 64 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 1: my treasury. Now, this is the part of the story 65 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: that I don't understand unless you see it through spiritualize. 66 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: This is a beautiful picture. He said, go to my treasury. 67 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: And the question that has to be answered is what 68 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: are dirty rags doing in the king's treasure treasury in 69 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: his palace. In his palace, he would have had treasury. 70 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: He would have had his gold, he would have had 71 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: his silver, he would have had it guarded and vaulted. 72 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: He would have had rubies and diamonds and worth beyond measure. 73 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: But in the king's dungeon he had a place for 74 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: dirty rags. 75 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: He had a place. 76 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: He had a pole of rotten rags that had been stained, 77 00:05:51,320 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: that had been marred, that had been forever. They would 78 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: be stained with where they came from. And yet the 79 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: king said, I turn rags into royalty. I am a 80 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: king who has a place for dirty rags. And before 81 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: you think this is some people, I'm really thinking of 82 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: some people. 83 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 2: You need to think of yourself. 84 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: Because Isaiah sixty four said this that we are all as. 85 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 2: An unclean thing, and all. 86 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: Of our righteousness, all of our religiosity, all of our 87 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: efforts to that we get to a place where we 88 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: think I don't do this, and I don't do that. 89 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: Therefore I am just one. 90 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: All of your righteousness is as filthy rags, and no 91 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: one is useless to God. God doesn't you know if 92 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: you ever get a stain, I don't care how beautiful 93 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: and how expensive that tie is, if you ever get 94 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: a stain on that tie, like a bad stain, which 95 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: I have a tendency to do every time I wear 96 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: a tie. 97 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: My wife now makes me take my tie. 98 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: Off and put it in her purse if I warn't 99 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: wear a tie, because she says, if it can be 100 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: if it can be stained, you'll find a way to 101 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: do it. There will be some tomato paste, there will 102 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: be a piece of okra on it. There'll be grease, 103 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: you know those grease. It's not just you can flake 104 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: it off Greece. It's stained. And I don't care how 105 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: beautiful that tie is. If you've got a big stain 106 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: on it, or that dress or that's whatever it is 107 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: you're wearing. 108 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. 109 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: You get a stain on it, and everybody's eyes goes 110 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: to that, and they think you're a sloppy person. 111 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: So all these rags in the King's treasure. 112 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: And everybody else, you might as well discard that old time. 113 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: Is stained. 114 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: Everybody else the world would say throw it away, But 115 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: the King said, I have a place in my treasure 116 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: for dirty rags, for rotten rags, torn, tattered, marred, messed up. 117 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: I'll redeem them. I turn rags into royalty. And yes, 118 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: the stained a pain. And what I'm preaching on is 119 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: don't let your pain be in vain, because God can 120 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:55,479 Speaker 1: use The rag represents your testimony. The dirty rag represents 121 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: the dungeon you were in. And here's the key. If 122 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: you throw a block of gold from the King's treasury 123 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: down into the muck, it'll sink. Throw some silver, it'll sink. 124 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: It can't rescue them. The only thing that can reach 125 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: somebody in the dungeon that they're in is something that 126 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: is not afraid of that dungeon because it used to 127 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: be in it. But the king pulled them out and 128 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: put them in his treasury. And some people will never 129 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: be reached until they hear your dirty rag story. Some 130 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: people will never be reached until they see not your successes. 131 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: But we reach more people through our failures and through 132 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: our own struggles and through our own tatters and torns 133 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: and stains and tears in life. 134 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 2: That's what God uses. 135 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: And we don't need to let our pain be in vain, 136 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: but we need to say, Lord, I appreciate the gold 137 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: people who don't never got in that dungeon, and the 138 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: silver people who never got in that. 139 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 2: But Lord, I thank you that. 140 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: There's a pile of rotten rags in your treasury too, 141 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: and it since I went through it, and since I've 142 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: been staying by it, I want you to throw me 143 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: right back into the dungeon that you brought me out 144 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: of that somebody else is sinking in. I want to 145 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: lift them because I know God did it for me. 146 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 2: He can do it for them. 147 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: The sin and the world and Satan will throw you into. 148 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 2: A rotten ragpile of life. He'll throw you. 149 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: And turn you into a rotten rag with a rap sheet, 150 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: rotten rag with an addiction, rotten rag with a broken family, 151 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: rotten rag with bankruptcy. Satan thinks that's what will be 152 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: the stain on your life for the rest of your life. 153 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: But what the world calls a stain, God calls a testimony. 154 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: God found you and rescued you for a purpose, and 155 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: he uses these rotten rags to reach people that nobody 156 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: else can reach, because you understand their pain and you 157 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: understand how hard it is. And if somebody doesn't reach them, 158 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: they're going to die in their sin and in their field. 159 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 2: Isaiah sixty four. 160 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: All of us are as filthy rags. I was stained, 161 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: I was dark, I was damp, I was torn, I 162 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: was useless, I was worthless. But the King said, I 163 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: want him, I value him. I'll protect him like his gold, 164 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: because I turn rags into royalty, and I use people 165 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: whoever I want to, however I want to, in any 166 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: way I want to, and I don't check with people's 167 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: opinion of who I use to bring somebody else out 168 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: of the pit.

And don't you let fear interfear 228 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: with the open door. Many people let their past stays 229 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: stop them from walking through doors of opportunity because they 230 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: feel inferior and they feel intimidated. And I'm one to 231 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: preach that because that is my battle. But I've been 232 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: in the pit of depression. I've been in the pit 233 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: of hopelessness. I've been in the pit of fear. I've 234 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: been through all kinds of those pits, and the devil 235 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: thought that I would give up. But the thing about 236 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: the story that is beautiful is when you get in 237 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,239 Speaker 1: that pit, if somebody, if somebody will you, guys, we 238 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: four come up here. 239 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 2: You didn't know when you were sitting on the front row. 240 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 2: You're gonna preach. 241 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: Come on, we don't practice this stuff. You gotta move fast, though, 242 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: but you know, but you know, you have to understand. 243 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 2: The imagery. One rag can reach some. 244 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: But when I tie my testimony in my dirty rag 245 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 1: to somebody else, that's what they started doing, those thirty men, 246 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: when in the King's treasury found the dirty rags and 247 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 1: started tying them together. That one and that's the power 248 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: of the church. The Bible said, we're all members of 249 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: the body of Christ. But this one can't say I 250 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: don't need you, and that one can't say I don't 251 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: need you. 252 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 2: We need each other. 253 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: And when I was sinking, there was a woman named 254 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: Rachel Journer who threw a little rag to me, and 255 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: she wouldn't let me go. And she's already in my 256 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: in my dark hour, sheep. And even when Sharis and 257 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: I have been through things, there were people who threw 258 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: t f Tenny and Mark and Cindy and different people. 259 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: And even in this church, so many, so many, Oh 260 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: my goodness, I can't start naming.

When Jesus came into this world, his mother 276 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: wrapped him in anything she could find in a stable. 277 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: And we're donkeys and horses, cows, sheep, chickens, film, manure, 278 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: animal slobber.

Get the 281 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: filth off stains, blood stains, dirty stains, filthy stains. And 282 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: the Bible said, when Jesus was born, the angel said, 283 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: you will know He said this to the shepherds and 284 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: luke too. He said, you will know the Messiah by 285 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 1: what he's adorned in. He'll be laying in a feed trough, 286 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: wrapped in swaddling clothes. That means filthy rags that have. 287 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 2: Been used. 288 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: Just to clean the filth off your hands enough to 289 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: go find some water. It's stained, filthy, throwaway rags. They 290 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: took eight pounds of God, and that's what she wrapped 291 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: him in to present him to the world. God in skin, 292 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: the creator of the universe, walk down a star stead 293 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: step stairs of heaven to a barnyard in Bethlehem, and 294 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 1: they wrapped him in filthy, rotten rags. And if you 295 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: want to find Jesus, you will not find him among 296 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: a bunch of religious people in their outward garments pretending 297 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 1: that they're so perfect and beautiful. You won't find him 298 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: in a woke church that's not preaching the gospel but 299 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: it's a social club. 300 00:22:58,880 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 2: You won't find him. 301 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: Find him wherever they're dirty, rotten rags that have cleaned 302 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: to him. And he is our righteousness, and all we 303 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: are is the rags that he uses to drop into 304 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: somebody's dungeon. And when you tell your testimony, and when 305 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: you share your story, and when you don't let your 306 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: pain be in vain, but you say, let me tell 307 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: you what the Lord has done for me. We stopped 308 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: testifying when I met my father in law, Jimmy mcgibney, 309 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: who's gone on to be with the Lord. The thing 310 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: that impressed me immediately is he loved to tell the 311 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: story of how. 312 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 2: He was saved. He was always witnessing. 313 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: He worked at Pitney Bow's in Atlanta for many years 314 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: and he would tell his story. He was always telling 315 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: his story. It hit me this week, when's the last 316 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: time we told our story to somebody? We fool over? 317 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: They will die. The message to the king was, if 318 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: somebody doesn't reach that man in that pit, he will 319 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: die there. Marriages will die there, Families will die there, 320 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: Sons and daughters, brothers and sisters will die there. 321 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 2: If somebody. 322 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: Doesn't throw the dirty rag of their testimony. Say I 323 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: know what God can do. I have seen it for myself. 324 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: And when you understand that that he uses not perfect people. 325 00:24:54,520 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: I love it because that's what our seniors do. That's 326 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: what Mom you do. 327 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 2: Still, you know she retired at ninety. She's seaxing to 328 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 2: be ninety in two weeks or three weeks, something like that, 329 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 2: and she retired.
