I was in Gaza with my husband for 83 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: fifty one days, so I saw everything, felt everything, and 84 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 3: I want to take you there that you that you'll 85 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 3: be able to feel a little bit of what I 86 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: went through. The worst, the worst moment for me when 87 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: they tortured my husband and they tortured the girls with us. 88 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 3: I'll never forget when they told the girls, young girls 89 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 3: to get into the shower take the clothes off, while 90 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 3: the ramasteras just stared at them, and nobody has ever 91 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 3: seen their body. I'll never forget Keith's face when they 92 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 3: pushed him. Kith is sixty five years old. He's an American. 93 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: He's from North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and he was brought 94 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 3: up to love and everybody, everybody loves. Keith is such 95 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 3: a special, special, gentle loving person. I fell in love 96 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 3: with Keith when I was nineteen years old. It took 97 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: me one second to fall in love with him, and 98 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 3: we got married. We've got four children and five grandchildren 99 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 3: that are waiting for Keith to come home. So I'll 100 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 3: never forget when they pushed Keith and they broke his 101 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 3: ribs and shut his hand. And while we were lying 102 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 3: underneath the ground and in houses in Gaza, he used 103 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 3: to beg them to lie down because he was in 104 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 3: so much pain with his risbm broken, and they used 105 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: to smile and say no. I'll never forget when they 106 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 3: didn't bring us anything to eat, and after twenty hours, 107 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: the Ramasteris said it takes a long time to make food. 108 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: And after twenty four hours by them starving us and 109 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 3: eating in front of us. We each got up half 110 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 3: a piece of pita. And that was the moment that 111 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 3: I started hiding pieces of pita for my husband that 112 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 3: was getting very very thin. And he's still in Gaza 113 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: with wore me your den, sister. And we know that 114 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 3: they at least fifty of the hostages out of the 115 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 3: ninety eight that are still alive, that are waiting to 116 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 3: get out of there. One of the times they took 117 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: Keith on us, I underneath the ground and they just 118 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 3: left us there, left us there to die. I touched death. 119 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 3: I said goodbye to the world. When I looked at 120 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: my husband and he said to me that he feels 121 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: that he can't breathe, he was like this. I was 122 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 3: the same, and I was scared to look at him 123 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: because I was scared to look at my husband dead 124 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 3: in front of me. And the first minute that they 125 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: brought us out, Luckily often more than a couple of days, 126 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 3: I'll never forget breathing, eh. And I was felt like 127 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 3: I was born again. I saw the girls being touched 128 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 3: by the Hamas because they did everything they wanted, and 129 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: just think about a young girl that's never been touched 130 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 3: by a terrorist and had to smile five minutes after 131 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 3: that happened and been brave to say that everything's okay. 132 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 3: Well nothing was okay. One of the girls was beaten 133 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 3: with sticks and guns and covered with the blanket just 134 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 3: because they thought she was lying, but she wasn't. I 135 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 3: was with one of the boys that they handcuffed his 136 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 3: hands and then the ramas Terrace came and cut it 137 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 3: off his hand. But you know what he did, He 138 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 3: cut off part of his hand and smiled as if 139 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 3: it was okay. And one of the evenings, while I 140 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 3: had to cover myself with the blanket, I was hot. 141 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 3: I took my foot out of the blanket. I was 142 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 3: nearly killed for that and threatened that if I do 143 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 3: it again, I'm going to be killed. And that's the 144 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 3: amount of control that they had on us. We wanted 145 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 3: how to move, we want allow to talk. We were 146 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 3: taking our oxygen away. We were starved. I lost ten 147 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 3: kilos in Gaza. When I came out, I could not 148 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 3: walk by myself. I do lean on somebody, and my 149 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 3: Keith and Rommie and the hostages and the girls that 150 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: I was with are still in Gaza. So I'm not 151 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 3: going to lose my hope. I'm going to shout for 152 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 3: them to come home, and that's what I'm doing. So 153 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 3: I want you to use my words, and I want 154 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 3: the good to win. We cannot let the evil win 155 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 3: in the world. We've been more born once and Keith 156 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 3: and the hostages and everybody in this world deserves to live, 157 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 3: to love and they deserve to come back to that. 158 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: Thank you so much. 159 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: Her and Keith's precious daughter is back in the green 160 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: room with us.

It's not something that all me 202 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 4: does usually because she's very independent, but she did, and 203 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 4: for me, it was a like a red flag worning 204 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 4: sign that something is not okay. But she told me 205 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 4: several times during those four and a half hours of 206 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 4: talking on the phone and trying to get away from 207 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 4: the area, hiding inside bushes for two hours while terrorists 208 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 4: starts spraying all the area with bullets and RPG and rockets. 209 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 4: She told me that she trust me and that she 210 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 4: knows I can help her, that she's so grateful to 211 00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 4: be my sister.

And it's not mind. 575 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: Over matter, it's the word over what hell has tried 576 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:53,439 Speaker 1: to do. 577 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 2: And the word is more powerful. 578 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: They try to destroy you with it, but all things 579 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 1: are working together for your good. 580 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 2: When you turn. 581 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: It into prayer, you know that you never will give 582 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: yourself to prayer. As long is this about everything else, 583 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: As long as this about everything else and everybody else. 584 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:35,120 Speaker 2: But life is going to happen. Life is going to happen. 585 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: Tragedies are going to happen, Trials and setbacks in life 586 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,840 Speaker 1: are going to happen. Fast all you want a fast, 587 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 1: You're still going to go through stuff. Pray all you 588 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: can pray. So go on and understand. Jesus taught this lesson. 589 00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: It rains upon the just and the unjust. Trouble comes 590 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:08,600 Speaker 1: to everybody. The issue is not what happened to you. 591 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 1: The issue is what's going to happen to what happened 592 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: to you. Prayer is where I go to deal with 593 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: what life has dealt me. When life deals you something 594 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,319 Speaker 1: and a tragedy happens and somebody is killed, or a 595 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 1: bad doctor's report or a financial contract gets canceled and 596 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 1: it changes your life and everything's different, or you go 597 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: through or you get cheated on, or whatever. We can 598 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 1: stay up here and name all day long trials and 599 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 1: crisis and things that people are walking through and when 600 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: it happens to you. My point in this message is 601 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:58,439 Speaker 1: prayer is where I go to deal with what has 602 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:05,839 Speaker 1: been dealt to me. And the only way to keep 603 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 1: it from getting in your heart. 604 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 2: Is to get it in your knees. 605 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,399 Speaker 1: And if it gets in your knees, then it will 606 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: stay out of your heart. The more you say I 607 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 1: give myself to pray about it, the less it will 608 00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,080 Speaker 1: get in your heart. Bitterness will get in your heart. 609 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: Revenge will get in your heart, Hatred will get in 610 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,359 Speaker 1: your heart. Unforgiveness will get in your heart. Offense will 611 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 1: get in your heart. And he said, you cannot control that. 612 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:49,799 Speaker 1: They lied, they hurt, they did this, they did that. 613 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:56,800 Speaker 1: But I am responsible for me. I will give myself 614 00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:01,399 Speaker 1: to prayer. If it's on your knees, it can't get 615 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,319 Speaker 1: in your heart. Some of you are still reeling from 616 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 1: what happened, and you need to serve an eviction notice 617 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: to that grievance and let it know you're not going 618 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 1: to be my partner in life, but I'm going to 619 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: give you to prayer. I'm going to give myself that 620 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: every time I hear you whisper the wound and the hurt, 621 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to pray about it until God takes something 622 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:38,800 Speaker 1: really ugly and turns it into something really beautiful, because 623 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 1: that's what he does. Offense, Listen to me carefully. Offense 624 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 1: is an event, but being offended is a choice. Jesus said, 625 00:45:54,000 --> 00:46:00,319 Speaker 1: every person will be offended. Every person offense. Jesus said 626 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 1: it like this, offense must come part of God's process 627 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 1: of making you a mature Christian. Will be people will 628 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:18,399 Speaker 1: be put in your life, specifically released to unjustly hurt you. 629 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 2: And offend you and do you wrong. 630 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 1: And in those seasons of being offended, you are in 631 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 1: the most serious tests season testing that is determining whether 632 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,240 Speaker 1: God gets to take what was meant for your evil 633 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 1: and turn it for good. In your response, because offense 634 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 1: is a moment, but being offended from the offense is 635 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 1: a choice, well, I don't understand what am I supposed 636 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 1: to do? 637 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 2: Just pray about it? 638 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 1: No, I won't really make you day fast and pray 639 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: about it. And if that don't work. 640 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 2: Do it again. 641 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: And if that because by Jesus said, if you seek, 642 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: you will find.
