So glad to have you. Thank you 59 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: for being here so much. 60 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 8: It's just a delight to be with you. 61 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: So tell us what happened. 62 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 9: Well, I suffered an injury to my voice. This happened 63 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 9: thirty two years ago. I developed it was like a 64 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 9: marble in my throat. We ended up having surgery. The 65 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 9: surgery removed the ulsir and then did something else. We 66 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 9: don't know what went wrong in the journey. I was like, 67 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 9: because for a year we tried various medical you know, 68 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 9: vocal therapy, etc. And it was just so there was 69 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 9: so much mystery. 70 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: And of course what people don't know is that you 71 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: are a pastor, a worship leader. 72 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: I was a minister, and you need I was. 73 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 8: The worship leader. 74 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 9: I've been a worship leader for years, and so it 75 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 9: was it was really traumatizing for me because my life 76 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 9: became a series of resignations. Can't do this, can't do that, 77 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 9: had to lay down the church we were pastoring, and 78 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 9: so many losses in the journey. And you know, whenever 79 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 9: use of he loss, then that brings grief because you're 80 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 9: grieving your losses. And so there's been a lot of 81 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 9: loss and a lot of grief, and grief is actually 82 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 9: a godly response to loss. And there and here's a 83 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 9: picture the Lord gave me as I was processing my 84 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 9: grief and depression and loss. It's it's a picture out 85 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 9: of James chapter one when a have you ever seen. 86 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 8: A boat, assail boat that was. 87 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 9: Leaning way over in the water. The reason assailboat leans 88 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 9: way over like this as it's capturing the wind is 89 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 9: because it's trying to head directly into the storm. The 90 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 9: more it's leaning, the more directly it's going into the storm. 91 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 9: And the Lord said to me that if I would 92 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 9: capture the power of the winds coming against me, the grief, 93 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 9: the sorrow, the loss, the depression, if they wanted to 94 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 9: bury me. But if I would capture the power of 95 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 9: those winds and use them to drive into the storm, 96 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 9: that was coming against me, he said from James when 97 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,799 Speaker 9: he says, you will not be like a wave that's 98 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 9: blown about in the water. You will actually be single minded, 99 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 9: not double minded, as you press into me. So I've 100 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 9: decided the more depressed I get, the harder I'm coming 101 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 9: after God, the strong of the storm against me a 102 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 9: little more that I'm coming after Jesus. And here's my experience. 103 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 9: It's not the fire that changes you. It's the pursuit 104 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 9: of God in the fire that changes you. Because there 105 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 9: are some people that they get in the storm and 106 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 9: they become a casualty and they kind of get turned aside. 107 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 9: But if you will come after God and press them 108 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 9: too him, he will transform you in the storm and 109 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 9: make you into what His. 110 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 8: Purpose is for your life. 111 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: Well, I know you're going to be such an encouragement 112 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: to someone that's watching right now, and I just want 113 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: you to stop what you're doing because God has a 114 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: word for you today and it is this. You have 115 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: been facing a difficulty and a storm and you are 116 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: just about ready, just like Bob said, to give up 117 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: and fall over and be a casualty. And God is saying, 118 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: don't press in and pick up the wind in your 119 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: cells that I'm going to give you come through this, 120 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: because on the other side of it, you are going 121 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 1: to be stronger. 122 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: We want to just. 123 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: Pray for you today and encourage you that God can 124 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: give you that courage and that perseverance and that persevering spirit. 125 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 2: To press into Him. 126 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: And it's in that secret place, it's in that quiet time, 127 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: it's in that intimacy with Him that you're going to 128 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: get stronger and God's going to actually show you some 129 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: ways out of this, and He's going to actually give 130 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: you divine wisdom and insight that you need desperately. 131 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 2: So stay right there. 132 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: I ask you earlier, Bob, and you said, I don't 133 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: really like to go to the dark place. I like 134 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: to stay where what God has done with me now 135 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: and the fact that you continue on to speak and 136 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: minister and teach on worship with your voice being like 137 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: it is is just so miraculous to me. But when 138 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: this first happened, you did suffer and you had to 139 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: fight your way through, and there are people watching right now. 140 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: They are there, but we're going. 141 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: To encourage them to press through because God has so 142 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: much more for them on. 143 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 2: The other side of it.

That There's 152 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 9: a beautiful verse in the Revelation three, verse twenty where 153 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 9: Jesus says, behold, I stand at the door and knock, 154 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 9: and he's actually inviting us into the secret place. In 155 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 9: this first he goes, I'm inviting you. I'm knocking at 156 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 9: your heart's door, and I'm inviting you into an intimate 157 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 9: communing relationship with me. I'm knocking at the door. What 158 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 9: we often miss, Johnny, is the first immediately in front 159 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 9: of it, The first immediately in front of it goes 160 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 9: like this. As many as I love, I rebuke, and Jason, listen, 161 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 9: You've got the God of the universe knocking on your door. 162 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 9: And when God himself takes hold of your life and 163 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 9: knocks on your door, it just might be a little 164 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 9: bit more intense than you were expecting up front, and 165 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 9: he says, I'm because I believe that his knocking is knocking, 166 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 9: is is chastening in our lives. 167 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 8: I have been chastened by the Lord.

And I believe that it's his invitation. 170 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 9: He's been knocking at our heart store. There's somebody listening 171 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 9: to this right now. You've been wondering, why has that 172 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 9: been so intense for me? I don't understand why the 173 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 9: trial is so intense because sometimes it's like this. The 174 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 9: issues in my life are like this, but the fire 175 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 9: is like this. The fire feels to be like an 176 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 9: overstatement of the issues he's. 177 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 8: Coming after in your life. 178 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 9: That's because he's not just trying to teach you a lesson. 179 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 9: He's trying to rewrite your DNA. He is crafting everything 180 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 9: about you to make you stronger in him, to put 181 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 9: it to bring you into an intimacy with him. He 182 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 9: is changing how you think and feel. He's changing everything. 183 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 9: He's going to change your personality in this thing. He 184 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 9: is knocking at your door through this trial to bring 185 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 9: you into an intimacy with him. 186 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: So talk a little bit about suffering, but also talk 187 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: a little bit about what the Word of God has 188 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 1: to say about our journey and believing him. 189 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 2: For you know that the journey's not over for you. 190 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 2: You told me. I'm still on the journey, and I'm 191 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 2: believing God for a complete healing. 192 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 8: Absolutely. He is the Alpha and the Omega. 193 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 9: He is the writer of our story, and he sees 194 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 9: the beginning from the end, and he's taking us on 195 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 9: a journey with him. Never relent until you are laying 196 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 9: a hold of that which God has called you to 197 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 9: the uppert call of God. 198 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 8: In Christ, I. 199 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 9: Have so much hope and so much confidence in what 200 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 9: God is doing in my life. So I'm going to 201 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 9: stay in it to the very end, until I'm laying 202 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 9: hold of the upper CaAl of God. I believe in 203 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 9: his promises, and it's it's here. Here's the tension that 204 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 9: I found myself in, Johnny. I struggled with the tension 205 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 9: between process and finish, between journey and destination. Before though, Okay, 206 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 9: I'm gonna be honest with you right now, before this 207 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 9: happened to me, I was. 208 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 8: A destination Christian. 209 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 9: I was one of these people that just like, let's 210 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 9: just get you fixed and back in the race. And 211 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 9: I didn't really have much realm in my theology for process. 212 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 8: But I have become through this journey. I have become 213 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 8: a journey. 214 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 9: Slash destination Christian. I believe in the journey and I 215 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 9: believe in the destination. Don't take the destination away from me. 216 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 9: Don't take his promises away from me. Don't take the 217 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 9: power of God. Don't script my gospel of the power 218 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 9: of Jesus Christ. He can he healed the people that couldn't, 219 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 9: heal people that had vocal issues during his earthly ministry. 220 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 8: Don't take that away from me. 221 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: He's healed people. Why you're ministry, m He's healed people. 222 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: Why you're talking and sharing. Yes, he's used you in 223 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: a way that he may have. 224 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 2: Never used you before. Is that true. 225 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 9: It's stunning to me that he doesn't wait till he 226 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 9: finishes with you before he uses you. Yeah, he uses 227 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 9: us in the journey. It's stunning to me. There's one 228 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 9: time in the Bible where Paul has this physical infirmity 229 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 9: in his body that he's struggling with, and while he 230 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 9: is struggling with his infirmity, he speaks and assaystant your figure, heal, 231 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 9: and he heals a cripple while he himself is struggling 232 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 9: with issues in his own body. You don't have to 233 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 9: be finished before God uses you, a. 234 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: Man, How are you different after this, after going through this? 235 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 9: Okay, Now, here's what happens when God chastens and you 236 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 9: in your life and puts you in there a refining fire. 237 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 9: The transformation is so remarkable that you can even see 238 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 9: it in yourself. Now, that's when it gets scared, when 239 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 9: you see He got changing you for yourself. You can 240 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 9: see it for yourself. He has changed my He's actually 241 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 9: changed my personality in this thing. He's changed how I 242 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 9: walk with him. He's changed the intimacy of our relationship. 243 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 9: He's changed how I come to the world. He's changed 244 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 9: my theology. He's changed my relationships, the impact of my life. Johnny, 245 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 9: it's remarkable to me that a guy that can't talk 246 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 9: is speaking right now to the whole world. 247 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: It's amazing. 248 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 9: And he doesn't wait until he's finished with us before 249 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 9: he uses us. 250 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 5: As you were talking, I just remember listening. I love testimonies, 251 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 5: and I remember listening about your mother having cancer and 252 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 5: you every day after school you watched her, you know, 253 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 5: journal and read her Bible, and they gave you all 254 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 5: the faith and encouragement for the future. 255 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 10: Is that correct, beautiful story in my family's history. My goodness, Dorothy, 256 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 10: I'm surprised that you're remembering this. Yeah, my mother, when 257 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 10: I was thirteen years old, was touched sovereignly by the 258 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 10: Lord and cancerous tumors and disappeared in a moment. Impacted 259 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 10: my life.

Caleb does forty years in a dust 302 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 9: filled wilderness, and because he endured in faith when he 303 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 9: came through the wilderness, he was able to ask for 304 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 9: a whole mountain in the grace of God. Everybody else 305 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 9: go to house and a field, a house and. 306 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 8: A field, a house and a field. 307 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 9: And Caleb is able to take a mountain in the 308 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 9: Promised Land because he had endured in faith. It was 309 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 9: actually the kindness of God to give him a forty 310 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 9: year wilderness. 311 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 2: Wow, so good.

The greatest honor, indeed, 333 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 9: that's life, was not that he was king of Israel. 334 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 9: The greatest honor in David's life was not that he 335 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 9: wrote all these psalms. The greatest honor in David's life 336 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 9: was being quoted three times on the cross. 337 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 8: My God, My. 338 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 9: God, why have you forsaken me?

So I just want to ask David 344 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 8: a question. 345 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 9: What kind of a journey, David are you going to 346 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 9: have to walk in order to write it so that 347 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 9: he would want. 348 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 8: To quote it. 349 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 2: Wow, that's profound, profound. 350 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 9: And David could not understand why the fire was so 351 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 9: hot in his life. He could not understand why is 352 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 9: everything against me? Why is it all short? Why are 353 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 9: my pain levels always so high? He could not understand it. 354 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 9: And today I think he can see it. He's like, 355 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 9: I had to live it so that I could write 356 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 9: it so that he could quote it. Wow, the intimacy 357 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 9: of suffering. Do you understand the intimacy that David is 358 00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 9: with Jesus. He's the only guy that Jesus quoted three 359 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 9: times on the Cross. You want that kind of intimacy, 360 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 9: you're gonna pay a price for it. 361 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 8: There is a price to pay for intimacy with Jesus. 362 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 9: If you want to know Jesus and his sufferings, if 363 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 9: you want to know him in the sufferings of his cross, 364 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 9: You're gonna pay a price for that kind of enimacy. 365 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 9: But at the marriage supper of the Lamb, when we're 366 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 9: all seated at the tables and we're having small talk 367 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 9: at the table and talking about whatever, there's only one 368 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 9: person at the marriage supper of the Lamb. Who will 369 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 9: be able to say he quoted me three times on 370 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 9: the art. 371 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: And God said about David, Yes, he's a man after 372 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: my own heart. Who will city say that about? I mean, 373 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: it's it's it's amazing to think about. But of course, 374 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: if you read in the Bible the story of David, 375 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: what he went through, and I mean started with him 376 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: with the sheep, you know, in that in that secret 377 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: place in the field, and Samuel comes to annoint you know, 378 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: the next king of Israel, and and and he's not 379 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: even called in as one of the sons, and you 380 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: have any more So well, I have one out in 381 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: the field and he comes in and all of a sudden, 382 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: this is going to be the king. And then how 383 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: many years did he wait for that? And how many 384 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,239 Speaker 1: years did Saul try to kill him? And I mean, 385 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: it's just on and on and on. But yeah, it's 386 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: it's it's really profound to think about, to talk about. 387 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: But I just want to thank you, Bob for being 388 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: here today. 389 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 9: Is it possible, let me just ask the folks that 390 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 9: are watching and listening, is impossible that the trial in 391 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 9: your life is actually an invitation from God?

And this woman was gray and 571 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 14: probably weighed eighty pounds, and the doctors literally sent her 572 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,479 Speaker 14: home to die, and she had cancer all through her body. 573 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 13: And my dad always made. 574 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 14: Sure first that she knew Jesus personally, because that's eternal healing. 575 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 14: And my dad prayed for her and I watched her 576 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 14: hair grow out of her head before my eyes, and 577 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 14: the Lord spoke to me and he said Drew, I'm 578 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 14: going to take you into a very big world.
