1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: That was the true light, which lighteth every man that

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: cometh into the world. He was in the world, and

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: the world was made by him, and the world knew

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: him not John one, nine and ten. Thank you, Heavenly Father,

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: that you sent your son Jesus Christ to be the

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: pure light of the world. Once the light shines into

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: the darkness that exposes the lies and deceptions. The light

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: brings revelation and gives direction, so I can see where

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: I am going. The light keeps me from stumbling blindly

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: along the way. Unfortunately, the world did not recognize the

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: creator or its true light. The world was blinded from

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: the truth. As we light candles and Saint Christmas carols,

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: keep us mindful of how powerful and sacred the gift

14
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: of light is, so we will always seek to keep

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: its flame burning in our hearts. Our lights shine this

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: Christmas season. He Amen. Thank you for listening to today's

41
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 5: Connection with Jenson Franklin.

42
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 4: This shall be a sign under you, two signs. You'll

43
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 4: know this baby is not just another baby, but it

44
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 4: is the Son of God. These two signs. He will

45
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 4: be wrapped in swaddling clothes. That interests me. What does

46
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 4: that mean?

47
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: That's a sign all the thousands.

48
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 4: Of years of prophecies. And he said the bottom line

49
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: of how you know which one he is is number one.

50
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: He will be only two signs on that day, Christmas Day,

51
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: the first Christmas. The baby that I'm sending you to,

52
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 4: the Angel said to the shepherds, will be wrapped up

53
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 4: in swaddling clothes. I looked up the word swaddling, and

54
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 4: it is related to Eastern culture. That has to do

55
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 4: with restraining clothes. Restraining clothing, by the way, this has

56
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: come back and now when babies are born, they put them.

57
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: Have you seen what they do to these babies? They

58
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 4: put them in this thing and it just their arms

59
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: are straight, their legs are straight. They tie them up

60
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 4: and they lay there all night long.

61
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: It seems like torture to me. Restraining clothing. Restraining clothing,

62
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: isn't that interesting?

63
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 4: Swaddling clothes the baby. The first thing that would happen

64
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: in ancient times is the baby would be born, and

65
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: then they would cut the cord and then the baby

66
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 4: would be washed and clean with water and polarized salt

67
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 4: would be rubbed all over the child.

68
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: And then they would lay the baby.

69
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 4: Down on a cloth and its arms and legs would

70
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 4: be held straight by its side, and they would wrap

71
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 4: with long strips of cloth overlapping bands, strips of clothing

72
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 4: to hold the baby tight, to give it the feeling

73
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 4: of comfort.

74
00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: As though it.

75
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: Was deal in the mother's womb, to stop it from

76
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: being startled by all the strange noises and sounds, and.

77
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: The baby would just be wrapped.

78
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 4: In swaddling clothes for restraining the baby, restraining the arms

79
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 4: and the legs. This is a great sign of the Messiah.

80
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: Is something to me that when Jesus came into this world,

81
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 4: Jesus was Jehovah of the Old Testament. Jesus was not

82
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: only the son of God, he was God.

83
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: He was God, the creator.

84
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 4: He was God that did that began everything in the

85
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: beginning was God. And Jesus was one hundred percent man

86
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 4: in the flesh, but in Christ was one hundred percent

87
00:05:53,920 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 4: God inside of Jesus. And they wrapped him up and

88
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,679
Speaker 4: tried to hold him restrained. The first thing they did

89
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 4: was tried to restrain him. And I want you to

90
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: know that there is no restraining Jesus.

91
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 3: You can't tie him down.

92
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 4: You can't keep him down, you can't bind him up,

93
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 4: and you can't keep him quiet.

94
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: When he came into.

95
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 4: This world, there were things that Jesus got loud about.

96
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 4: The religious world wanted to tie him down. But I

97
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 4: read in John seven where it says with a loud voice,

98
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 4: he said, unto them, if any man thirst with a

99
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 4: loud voice, what would make Jesus come unglued. There's a

100
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 4: couple of times where the Bible says he cried out

101
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 4: with a loud voice, and he said, if any man thirst,

102
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 4: let him come under me, and out of his belly

103
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 4: will flow rivers of living water. And this spakey of

104
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 4: the Spirit, which is the Holy Ghost. They tried to

105
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: restrain the message of the power and the living water

106
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 4: of the Holy Spirit, but he cried aloud, He broke

107
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 4: out of the swaddling clothes over the message of when

108
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: the gift that I'm giving you is the Holy Spirit,

109
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 4: and the Holy Spirit will live in your home, The

110
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 4: Holy Spirit will live in your life. There is no

111
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 4: quieting him. There is no restraining him when he comes

112
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 4: Jesus says, there's more to life than just living a life.

113
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: But Jesus wants to fill you with his Holy Spirit.

114
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 4: That's where life is, that's where joy is, that's where

115
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 4: comfort is, that's where peace is. There is something that

116
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 4: Jesus came in the flesh to do. He said, it's

117
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: expedient that I go away. I'm going to die on

118
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 4: the cross and leave, but I'm going to send you

119
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 4: a comforter called the Holy Spirit, and he will live

120
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 4: in you, and he will empower you to overcome. And

121
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 4: when the Holy Spirit is in you, you cannot be restrained,

122
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 4: you cannot be stopped.

123
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: You can do all things.

124
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: Through Christ, who will strengthen you. You can achieve, you can

125
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 4: break through addictions, you can be free. There's no restraining

126
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 4: power that can be kept on you. And he got

127
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 4: loud about that message. He said, I'm going to cry

128
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 4: aloud to the world about the power of the Holy Spirit.

129
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: The religious world wants us to just celebrate the baby

130
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 4: and think that's it, But there's so much more to

131
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 4: the message of Christmas. The power of the whole Holy

132
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: Spirit will guide you, the Bible said, will lead you,

133
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 4: will comfort you. Do you need direction? Do you need

134
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 4: to know what path to go in life? Are you

135
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 4: at a transition? Are you at a crossroad? Do you

136
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: need are you thinking about getting married? Do you need

137
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 4: to know God's plan for your life? There is an

138
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 4: absolute way that that can happen, and that is when

139
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: you receive Jesus Christ. He gives you the Holy Spirit,

140
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 4: and the Bible said the Holy Spirit will lead you

141
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 4: and guide you. I remember when it happened for me

142
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 4: at the age of sixteen. Then I can truly say

143
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 4: the Holy Spirit has led me every step of the way.

144
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: He has never ever ever left me, and he'll never

145
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: leave you, and he'll never ever Even if you make

146
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 4: the wrong mistakes and you don't listen and you do

147
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: the wrong thing, the Holy Spirit will pick you up

148
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 4: and keep you going somebody with a loud voice like

149
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: Jesus did. Thank God for the Holy Spirit. I don't

150
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 4: need California psychics to tell me about next year. I

151
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 4: don't need a crystal ball, and I don't need I

152
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 4: don't need the horoscope.

153
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: Amen.

154
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: I have someone to guide me, and whatever I face,

155
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 4: I'll have more than enough to deal with it because

156
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 4: I have the Holy Spirit. Let's hear it for the

157
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 4: Holy Spirit. It's a big message of Christmas. The Holy

158
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 4: Spirit abides with us.

159
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 3: Hallelujah. He's a mighty river. I tell you one other.

160
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 4: Thing real quick that Jesus got loud about.

161
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 6: They tried to.

162
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 4: Restrain him right off the bat. They tried to wrap

163
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 4: him up and tie him up and quieten him down

164
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 4: about some things he got loud about.

165
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 3: The Holy Spirit. Hallelujah.

166
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: We need to get loud about the Holy Spirit. I

167
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: really believe America is headed to some great things this

168
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 4: next year. I really believe the world is gonna see

169
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 4: the goodness of God in the land of the living.

170
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 6: And how's that gonna happen.

171
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 4: The Holy Spirit is the only one who can turn

172
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 4: hate into love. The Holy Spirit is the only one

173
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 4: who can change the heart of wicked men. The Holy

174
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 4: Spirit the only other time that I could find that Jesus.

175
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: With a loud voice.

176
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 4: See some of you are, I mean, some of you

177
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 4: are quiet in the House of God. But boy, when

178
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 4: those Georgia bulldogs are running, you are wood.

179
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 3: You're loud. You're annoying loud.

180
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 4: But every once in a while we ought to get

181
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 4: loud about the Holy Spirit.

182
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: I celebrate the Holy Spirit. This Christmas.

183
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 4: And then there's something else that Jesus got loud about.

184
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 4: Not only did he get loud about the Holy Spirit,

185
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 4: but another time that he would not be quiet and restrained,

186
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 4: but he cried with a loud voice. Was in John

187
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 4: eleven when it said and Jesus cried with a loud

188
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 4: voice at the tomb of his friend Lazarus.

189
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 6: Lazarus, come forth.

190
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 3: He got loud about deliverance.

191
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 4: He got loud about you don't have to be bound up.

192
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 4: And the Bible said, when Lazarus came out of the tomb,

193
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 4: he was wrapped all up in grave clothes. You know,

194
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 4: some of you been born again, and God's brought you

195
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 4: back to life, but you still have your old addiction

196
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 4: clothes on, still all bound up in fear and bound

197
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 4: up in alcoholism. And you're God's child and he loves you,

198
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 4: but you've got an addiction. And the Lord said, I'm

199
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 4: not gonna let me swaddling clothes hold this message back.

200
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 4: I don't just forgive sin. I take the grave clothes off.

201
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 4: I loose people and set them free. Give them their

202
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: marriage back, give them their minds back, give them their

203
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 4: mental health back, give them their joy back, give them

204
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 4: something besides appeal or another drink.

205
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: That leaves them empty.

206
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 4: And he said, the Bible said, lazars came forth bound,

207
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 4: hand and foot, restrained, hand and foot. I don't know how,

208
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 4: I don't know if he was hopping. I don't know

209
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 4: what he was doing, but he was restrained. And Jesus

210
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 4: said to the disciples, loose him and let him go

211
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 4: another time. And that Jesus gets loud is when it

212
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 4: comes to deliverance. The world says, be quiet and have

213
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 4: a nicey, nicy, little sweet little religious Christmas. But Jesus said,

214
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 4: I want somebody to get loud about the fact that

215
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 4: whom the sun sets free is free indeed.

216
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: And all around you.

217
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 4: Are former alcoholics, and all around you are former drug addicts,

218
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 4: And all around you are people who were broken, people

219
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: who were dysfunctional, people who were suicidal, people who couldn't

220
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 4: put their selves back together.

221
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 6: They were broken hearted and.

222
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 4: In devastating places in life, horrible things that happened. But

223
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 4: they're here in this wonderful service, about to light a

224
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 4: candle and say, I was in darkness, but he set

225
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: me free.

226
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 6: He took the grave clothes off of me.

227
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 4: And I am forgiven, and I am brand new. I

228
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 4: want somebody to get loud if you know he's a

229
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 4: god who delivers. If you've been sober a year, I

230
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 4: want you to shout, if you've been set free from drugs.

231
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 6: I want you to shout, if you've been.

232
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 4: Healed from hatred and dysfunction and abuse.

233
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 6: Praise it, praise it, bread. Get loud about the liver.

234
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 3: And he put him in a manger. That's the second thing.

235
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: I'm done. But he said, this will be a sign

236
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: to you.

237
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 4: The baby will be in swaddling clothes, but he won't

238
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 4: stay in them, and they'll put him in a manger.

239
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 4: The manger is it's open to everybody. It's it's a

240
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 4: place where in the Eastern Middle Eastern culture everybody everybody

241
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 4: was went to the.

242
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 3: To the main.

243
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 4: Because that's where the animals were. This was interesting. I

244
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 4: want to close with this. But at his birth they

245
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: laid him in a manger. Mary laid him in a manger.

246
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 7: But.

247
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: Joseph of Arimathea laid him in a tomb.

248
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 4: At his death, Mary rapped Jesus was swallowing clothes at

249
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: his birth, but Joseph of Aramathea wrapped Jesus with white,

250
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 4: clean linen at his tomb. Jesus was poor at the

251
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: Manger at birth, and that's why Jesus shows poverty at

252
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 4: his birth. But it was a rich man named Joseph

253
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 4: of Arimathea that speaks of the richness of Christ's death

254
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 4: and burial and resurrection that gave him his tomb. And

255
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 4: it's sad that no one had room for Jesus at

256
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 4: his birth. There was no room in the end, but

257
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 4: I'm glad that there was a man named Joseph of

258
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 4: Arimathea that made room for Jesus at his tomb. Mary

259
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 4: the Virgin was at his birth, but Mary Magdalene, who

260
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 4: was a prostitute that had seven devils cast out of her,

261
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 4: was at his resurrection. The angels announced the birth at

262
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 4: the manger, and angels announced the resurrection at the tomb.

263
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: The shepherds race to the manger, and Peter and John

264
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 4: race to the tone to find he was alive. Jesus

265
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 4: the Manger had shepherds that the Savior was born, and

266
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 4: Jesus was there at the tomb, and Jesus in the

267
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 4: manger meant.

268
00:17:59,320 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: His coming.

269
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 4: Jesus at the tomb meant he's going, but he's going

270
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 4: to come back again. And the Angel said, do not

271
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 4: be afraid, fear not, for unto you this day a

272
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 4: savior is born. Now you've just heard the gospel and

273
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 4: it still saves men and women. Are you thankful for

274
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 4: the gospel of Jesus Christ this Christmas?

275

Speaker 3: Hallelujah.

Speaker 4: Let's stand up on our feet and give him a

277
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 4: Christmas shout.

278
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: We are still a happy church. Hallelujah.

Speaker 4: Pray right where you are, Lord Jesus, I turn to you.

319
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 4: I believe in you, Jesus, and I give you my

320
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 4: life today. I give you all that I am and

321
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 4: all that I represent. Wash me cleanse me, forgive me,

322
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 4: give me peace, your joy, and give me your hope.

323
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 4: Would you stretch forth your hand and let them know

324
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 4: you are working and you have a future that is

325
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 4: filled with hope for them in Jesus' mighty name. What

326
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,280

Speaker 2: steps with Jesus.

335
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 13: For over a decade, we've stood on wavering in our

336
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 13: commitment to bless the nation of Israel.

337
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 5: Together with your faithful support.

338
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 13: We've helped protect the Jewish people from the Northern Israel

339
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 13: Emergency Center, just thirty minutes from the Sea of Galilee,

340
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 13: to fortified schools, bomb shelters, and fire stations in the

341
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 13: Ashfold region. When the October seventh attack struck, these projects

342
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 13: saved countless lives.

343
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 14: I still remember it like it was yesterday, picking up

344
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 14: my little baby and running to the safe room, feeling

345
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 14: like any second a rocket's going to fall on us.

346
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 14: It's a sound that I can still close my eyes

347
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 14: and I hear it in my sleep. You don't forget

348
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 14: something like this, hovering over her in the safe room

349
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 14: and just feeling like any second Sunday's going to happen.

350
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 14: But having that reassurance that we have that safe room.

351
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 14: I mean a rocket fell right outside of our house

352
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 14: and the shrapnel destroyed many things that were in our room,

353
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 14: the place that we just ran from. If it wasn't

354
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 14: for Pastor Jensen Franklin, we our whole community wouldn't come back. Really,

355
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 14: we thank you so much.

356
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 13: Over the next year, our mission is to complete this

357
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 13: defense centers and safehouses in Eshwelle, which are lifelines for

358
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 13: families when emergencies arise. Now that the hostages have returned home,

359
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 13: it's the time to bring healing for the people of Israel.

360
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 13: We will be completing the Eshkeville Resilience Center to help

361
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 13: with mental health from the trauma of the last two years.

362
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 13: Therapy sessions have already begun and lives are being put

363
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 13: back together thanks to you.

364
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 4: When your family gets actively involved with ministry in the

365
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 4: Holy Land, you are touching the very heart of God.

366
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 4: But most of all, we're fulfilling Bible prophecy when he

367
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 4: said comfort my people, comfort meet my people.

368
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: We're comforting God's people. Pray about what God would have

369
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 3: you do.

370
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 13: Together, we'll read building what was broken, restoring hope, and

371
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 13: declaring that the light will always overcome the darkness. We

372
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 13: continue to stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters, bringing

373
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 13: them comfort and the bookal Prophecy.

374
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 5: Join Jensen Franklin this January for the annual twenty one

375
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 5: day Fast. Some seasons need more than a fresh start,

376
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 5: They need a breakthrough all through Scripture. When God's people

377
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 5: needed answers, when they needed miracles, they turn to fasting.

378
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 5: Your twenty twenty six fasting kit gives you a simple

379
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 5: path to.

380
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 11: Fast with purpose.

381
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 5: This is your season for breakthrough or are your fasting

382
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 5: kits today and join us this January for our annual

383
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:44,640

384
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 4: I'm very excited about the release of my brand new book,

Speaker 3: Have never shared before.

388
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 4: Sometimes we think that we've got to pray long prayers,

389
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 4: and I've heard a lot of sermons about could you

390
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 4: not tarry with me one hour? As Jesus said in

391
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 4: the Garden of Gaseimine. But before you tarry one hour,

392
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 4: it'll begin with short prayers. Being consistent in short prayers,

393
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 4: and what you're doing is you're creating an atmosphere of

394
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 4: prayer in your car, and your home, and your family

395
