00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: above the mercy seat.

00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: From where I'll speak with you, and I'll meet.

00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: With you above above above the mercy seat.

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: Here's the mercy seat.

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: There was an angel made of gold, an angel made

25
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: of gold, and the mercy seat, and God says, right there,

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: right there, put my verse back up. God said, right

27
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: there's where I'll meet you. I'll meet with man kind

28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: of my presence will be there.

29
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: I'll meet with you.

30
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: I'll speak to you from above the mercy seat. Between everybody,

31
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: say between the two Cheruben, it's not going to be.

32
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm on your side or her side.

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be I'm standing with the husband against

34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: the wife.

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: Only when you touch wings.

36
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: The wings had to touch in the ark of the Covenant.

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: And God said, that's where I show up, wherever there

38
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: is unity.

39
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: To put the picture up of the Ark of the

40
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: Covenant for.

41
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: Just a moment, And I want you to notice that

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: in the original writing that God gave Moses instructions, the

43
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: head of the angels were not looking at each other.

44
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: Their faces were not facing each other, but they were

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: looking down. Both of their heads were looking down this

46
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: side and that side, and they were seeing each other

47
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: through the gaze of mercy.

48
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: This is the mercy seat.

49
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: This is where the blood was sprinkled seven times a day.

50
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: And they saw each other through the blood. They saw

51
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: each other through mercy and forgiveness.

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: And their wings had to.

53
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: Touch in unity and in creating unity and creating a

54
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: touch and seeing each.

55
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: Other through forgiveness seeing it.

56
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 2: You don't have to see eye to eye on everything,

57
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: but you do have to see each other through a

58
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: spirit of mercy and a spirit of We may not

59
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: ever agree on everything, but we see each other through

60
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: mercy and through forgiveness and through love. And God says,

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: wherever people unify and they touch, their wingtips had to touch.

62
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: Speaking of unity, the two become one. God said, I

63
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: am attracted. That is my thrones on and that's where.

64
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: I will be.

65
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: And any time a couple makes up their mind the

66
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: devil is not going to destroy the unity.

67
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: In our marriage.

68
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: Then God's presence is guaranteed in that home. And if

69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: you get God, you get victory. Say man, somebody, this

70
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: is interesting because God says, I'll dwell in relationships where

71
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: they see each other through the eyes of mercy and forgiveness.

72
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: They're not perfect. They don't see ida eye. They have

73
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: to view each other through mercy and through the blood

74
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: of forgiveness.

75
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: In the Old.

76
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: Testament, in the Book of Genesis, chapter fifteen, it talks

77
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: about and in the Book of Jeremiah, it talks about

78
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: how they would make covenants. Even when God made his

79
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: covenant with Abraham, he said, I'm looking for middle ground.

80
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: I'm looking I'm not siding on this side or that side,

81
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: and who's right and who's wrong. I look for people

82
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: who see each other and forgive each other and love

83
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: each other, and they touch back in unity when they've

84
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: been upset at one another. And that creates a place

85
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: for my presence. I'm attracted to forgiveness and mercy and unity.

86
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: I don't care how bad it's gone. If you ever

87
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: can reach back up in touch and reunite in faith,

88
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: God says I can come and heal anything. And so

89
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: what they would do to make a covenant is God

90
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: gave Abraham this strange instruction. He said, take a bull,

91
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 2: and take a heifer, and take a rem and take

92
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: a lamb and split them down the middle. And take

93
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 2: a turtle dove. But do not split the turtle dove.

94
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: Just let it sit there, because the turtle dove speaks

95
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 2: of the Holy Spirit. But he said, I want half

96
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: the animal on the left side, half the animal on

97
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: the right side. And God said, I will come to you,

98
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: Abraham and make a covenant, and.

99
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: You just provide.

100
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: You provide the middle ground for my presence. And the

101
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: Bible said he split those animals and laid half of

102
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 2: the animals on one side, and God came, the scripture

103
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: said in Genesis fifteen like a burning torch, and slosh

104
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: through the blood of those animals. And then a voice

105
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: begin to speak and tell Abraham all that he would

106
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: do in his life through the covenant that he was cutting.

107
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: This is a powerful picture of marriage because when they

108
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: would make a covenant agreement in the Old Testament, they

109
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: would cut an animal and the calves, and they would

110
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: lay them aside, and the men who were making a covenant,

111
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: or the people who were making a covenant.

112
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: Would walk in the middle of.

113
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: The sacrifice, slashing through the blood. Sacrifice on this side,

114
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: standing in the middle of sacrifice and repeating the vowels

115
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: of the covenant. I promised before God that I will

116
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: do this and I will do that according to our agreement.

117
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: Now that's a picture of marriage. It's a picture of

118
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: us standing in the middle of sacrifice, because marriage is

119
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: a sacrifice. Marriage is not about me. Marriage is about we.

120
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: Marriage is not about my, it's not about eye. It's

121
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: about we, we wei, And you have to stand in

122
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: the middle of sacrifice and sacrifice, and I salute all

123
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: of you who are sacrificing.

124
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: The men, the women.

125
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: It would be easier just to do your thing, but

126
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: you stand and it's not fair sometimes, and it's not equal,

127
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: and it's not fifty to fifty, No, it is not.

128
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: You stand in the middle and you create a throne

129
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: zone by saying, hey, we got upset and we didn't

130
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: see eye to eye. But I'm reaching out, and you

131
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: reach out and you touch and let's touch wings. And

132
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: the moment you do, God says, they're growing. They're growing

133
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: in grace, they're learning how to do this. They're learning

134
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: that I don't. There's no magic stuff in marriage. It's

135
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: just kind of brutal sometimes. And you got to stand

136
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: in the middle sacrifice and remember the vowels that you made.

137
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: You said for better or for worse, in richer or poorer,

138
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: in health or in sickness, till death do we part.

139
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: So help me God.

140
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: And God says, if you keep coming back and I

141
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: don't care what happens in your marriage, keep coming back

142
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: and touching, I'll show up and help you through any

143
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: and everything you face. You create a throngs on listen

144
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: to this amazing verse stuff you read right over in

145
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: the Bible. Jeremiah thirty four. God says, I am ready

146
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: to judge. I'm angry, and this is what he's angry about.

147
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: He says, I will judge those who have transgressed my

148
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: covenant and not.

149
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: Performed the words.

150
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: Of the covenant that they made before me when they

151
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: cut the calf into and pass between the parts. Now,

152
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: I want you to listen to this. When you got married,

153
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: you make promises, and the purest in its purest form,

154
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: we've drifted so far from purity. Do you know that

155
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: it's still an absolute sin that can send you to

156
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 2: hell if you are having sex outside of the confines

157
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: of marriage.

158
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: God is not okay with it. It is not his will.

159
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: God intends for you to keep yourself and if you're

160
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: not married, and certainly I know I'm preaching anytime I

161
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: preach to our congregation, I'm constantly preaching to people who

162
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: are living together and they have families together.

163
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: And we're not.

164
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: Here to beat up on you, but we're here to

165
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 2: tell you that you cannot expect the fullness of God's

166
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: favor and blessing until you do things like God said

167
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: the God brought Adam his wife, and God said, marriage

168
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: is my idea. You don't do it by playing house

169
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: and see how it works out and living together. You

170
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: have to obey the truth of God's word. If you

171
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: want God's presence, you have to So what are you saying,

172
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: we have a family, let's get married, Let's do it quick,

173
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 2: let's go.

174
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm available right now. Haidelujah.

175
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: But go on and do it, because something happens. This

176
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 2: is what the Bible teaches. In the Book of Ecclesiastes.

177
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: I think it's a fourth chapter. It says a threefold

178
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: cord is not easily broken.

179
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: You see, marriage is not a twofold cord a man

180
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: and a woman. Marriage is a threefold cord. It's a man.

181
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: You know, one chord is strong, but two chords twined

182
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: together is even stronger.

183
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: But God says, don't ever.

184
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: Think that marriage is just a man and a woman

185
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: making agreements.

186
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 1: But marriage is the threefold.

187
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 2: I'm touching, you're touching, And God, you come and.

188
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: Tie a knot around this and dwell.

189
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: Here and keep us in love, keep us in mercy,

190
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: keep us in forgiveness, keep us in holiness in our marriage,

191
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: keep us pure and.

192
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: Don't let us split the dove.

193
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: The splitting of the dove means the holy spirit or

194
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: the right spirit. You know, if you don't watch it,

195
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: you'll get bitter and stuff will accumulate, and your spirit

196
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 2: gets ugly, and your spirit is.

197
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: Wrong, and I get the wrong spirit.

198
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: I've had, Seriz, We've had situations that we get the spirit.

199
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: You got it. That's why the Bible said.

200
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: Guards your heart with all diligence, that you don't let

201
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: outside of fences and hers get so in you that

202
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: you get fixed.

203
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: In your position, and your.

204
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: Pride won't let you reach out and try to touch

205
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: again that person.

206
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: That you love.

207
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,239
Speaker 2: Stay in the middle of sacrifice and keep the words

208
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: of the covenant that you spoke before God and he

209
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: holds you too. Keep the spirit of unity. I thought

210
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: about this amazing story. In First Samuel chapter twenty, David

211
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: and Jonathan are making a covenant and he makes the statement.

212
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: He says, the Lord be between you and me. This

213
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: is what covenant is the Lord. This is a husband,

214
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: this is a wife, and the Lord be between you

215
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: and me.

216
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm not on her side, I'm not on his side.

217
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: I just want to know that if you too, will

218
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: forgive one another and see each other through mercy and

219
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: love and forgiveness. I just want you to know that

220
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: you will create a throne zone for your children and

221
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: your children's children and your family.

222
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: And that's what Satan wants to do.

223
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: He wants to come and break the wings of unity

224
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: so that God doesn't have a place. And he picks

225
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: and he takes over the middle ground. And when he comes,

226
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: he comes to kill. He's not coming to give you fun.

227
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: He's not coming to give you more pleasure in your marriage.

228
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: So let's do this, and let's try that. Let's do this.

229
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 2: He comes to kill, steal and destroy.

230
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: Don't let him in. And how do you not let

231
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: him in?

232
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: Unity, grace, mercy, forgiveness and refusing to kill the dove, the.

233
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit in your marriage. I love what he said.

234
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: He said, the Lord be between you and me, The

235
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 2: Lord be.

236
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: Between you and me.

237
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling you that God's got to be in the

238
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 2: middle of our families. God's got to be in the

239
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: middle of our marriage.

240
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: It's not just.

241
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: Trying to do good and being good and falling in love.

242
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: You can fall in love, but you're not going to

243
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: stay in love. Love is a choice. Love is what

244
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: you do over and over again when you keep saying, God,

245
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: I need my heart to be touched by you so

246
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: that I will be the man that you've called me

247
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: to be for my wife.

248
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: And my family. The Lord.

249
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: Everybody, say the Lord be between me and you. Look

250
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: at a family member and say, the Lord be between

251
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: me and you. Not offense, not devils and demons, not

252
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: anger and rage, not evil speaking. The Lord be between

253
00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: me and you. Don't forget about the man in the middle. Hallelujah,

254
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: because he's got miracles for our homes. He turns water

255
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: into wine. Water is weak and wine is strong. Praise God.

256
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: Where two or three are gathered Matthew eighteen, Where two

257
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: or three are gathered in my name? There am I

258
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: where in the mist of them? If I can get three,

259
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: that's ideal. But if I can't get three, I'll take two.

260
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: I don't need a lot of unity in the house.

261
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 2: But if I can get two, I think that's the

262
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: husband and the wife. Don't The crazy teenagers are crazy teenagers.

263
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: You were a crazy teenager too. They're crazy as a bat,

264
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: and they're gonna do crazy stuff. I'm sorry, I don't

265
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: know nothing but real raw life.

266
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: Every one of mine were as.

267
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: Crazy as a bat for a season, maybe not come

268
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: We'll have to say Connor was good for well, there

269
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: were moments, but God said, I don't need ideal. I

270
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: just if two or three, if two of you, if

271
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: the husband after he's beat up and she's beat up,

272
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: you got that phone calling, You're disappointed, your heart's broken,

273
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: You're going through stuff. When I'm out drinking with the

274
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: wrong crowd, another one's doing this, doing that. Why y'all

275
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: looking at me. I'm not gonna tell you all my stuff,

276
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: but I've been right here. Hallelujah, And I'm telling you

277
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: I don't have a perfect family, but I've got a

278
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: family that's got God in the center.

279
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: Of it all.

280
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: Hallelujah, and his grace can handle the mistakes, and his

281
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: grace can handle all the lives of the enemy that

282
00:16:58,560 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: says it's over.

283
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: Just up on your family and your home. No ask

284
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: for me.

285
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: When you reach out and say, ask for me in

286
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: my house, let's touch and agree.

287
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: We shall serve the Lord.

288
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 2: God says, I'll fight that devil all the way out

289
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: of that home and all the way out of that marriage. Everybody,

290
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 2: take a praise break and say.

291
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: Lord I want you in the middle of my home.

292
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm almost done.

293
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: Hello, I'm Jensen Franklin, and I want to welcome you

294
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: to Real America's voice. There's something that's going to happen.

295
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: I believe as you watch this program, lean in, listen,

296
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: and let's see what God can do in your life.

297
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: I mean, nowadays, just unity in general is hard. Pastoring

298
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: is hard. You got the left wing and the right

299
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: wing definitely on this side, that's for sure if you

300
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: don't know that. But you got the woke, and you

301
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: got the ultra conservative, and God loves us all, and

302
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: you've got all kinds of things. You got you got

303
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: people who are who are legalistic. If you go all

304
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: the way that right wing, it's legalism. You don't do this,

305
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: and if you do that, do that, and then then

306
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 2: you got liberalism. Anything goes. We don't need any standards.

307
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 2: We can do anything, and the grace of God covers us. Well,

308
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: where's the truth at The truth is the Bible said

309
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 2: Jesus can't he was he was came in grace and truth.

310
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: Grace and truth, that's a Bible verse. Came in grace

311
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: and truth. So that somewhere in the middle it's where

312
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 2: we've got to come. That the law is the law,

313
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: the word of God is the word of God. But

314
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 2: grace is reaching, and what you can't quite get to

315
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: on your own, the grace of God bridges you to over.

316
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: And God says, when you get the two together, you

317
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 2: get a house of mercy, you get a mercy seat.

318
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 2: Even in our music. I was telling them in the

319
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: nine o'clock service one time. You know, you have to

320
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: pastor people, and some people want the old move of

321
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: God and all this, and some people want the new

322
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: stuff and pray even in praise and worship. One time

323
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: a man said to me, I don't like all those

324
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 2: off the wall songs.

325
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: Well what is that?

326
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: Words are up on the wall. Where's the red back Hymno?

327
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:55,479
Speaker 2: Well what difference does it make? But you know, another

328
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 2: man said, I like seven elevens I don't like the

329
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: seven eleven songs. Well what is a seven eleven song?

330
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: That's when you say seven words eleven times and call

331
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 2: it a song.

332
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: I love it all, you know what I like.

333
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: I like a little bit of this and a little

334
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 2: bit of that, and I'll throw a little hemn in there,

335
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: and I'll throw a little new thing in there, and

336
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 2: I'll throw a little this and little that, and I

337
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 2: think God likes that.

338
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: Let me close.

339
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 2: What I'm trying to get you to understand is Ezekiel

340
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 2: twenty eight and verse fourteen.

341
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: Lucifer was in heaven.

342
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 2: There were millions of angels before the throne of God.

343
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: And notice how he was positioned. You were the anointed

344
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: cherub singer. I established you God speaking. You were in

345
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 2: the holy Mountain of God, that's the Holy of Holies.

346
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: You walk back and forth in the mist. The word

347
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: myst means middle in the mist of fiery stones, Satan

348
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 2: sees the middle ground of worship. He got between the

349
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 2: throne of God and the angels that were worship him,

350
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: and God said, I'll and God cast him out of heaven.

351
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: For God said, I'll never let the enemy seize the

352
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: middle ground.

353
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: And so in.

354
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 2: Revelation chapter four, the scripture says, in this and verse four,

355
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: round about the throne are the Cherubims and the Seraphims

356
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: and the elders, and they're they're casting their crowns and

357
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: they're singing. According to Revelation five, worthy is the lamb

358
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 2: that was slain. What do you say they're round about

359
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: God said, I'll never let the enemy have that place

360
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: of worship. I want you round about my throne. I

361
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 2: want you giving me the center. In other words, the

362
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: lamb is central. If they're around, if they're surrounding him,

363
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: He's the center of it all. He's the center of

364
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 2: the family, the church. And the way that we worship

365
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 2: him is when we keep him in the center of

366
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: our marriage and our family.

367
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: It's not about you, and it's not about me.

368
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 2: It's about him and when and here's here's how someone

369
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: explained it to me one time.

370
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: They said, marriage is like a triangle.

371
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: And I think they've got a thing they can throw up.

372
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: And there's the husband on one side of the triangle. Everybody,

373
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 2: draw a triangle, just draw one. And the husband's on

374
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: one side of the triangle and the wife is on

375
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 2: the other side.

376
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: Now watch this.

377
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: I'm way over here, she's way over here. How do

378
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 2: we ever get it together?

379
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: The more that she moves.

380
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 2: Closer to God, who's at the top, the more he

381
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 2: moves closer to God.

382
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

383
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 2: The more that we move closer to God, the closer

384
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 2: we get to one another.

385
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: Marriage is a spiritual thing.

386
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 2: It's so spiritual that Jesus said, if you want to

387
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: know what marriage is, it's a picture of me and

388
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: my bride the church.

389
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: And I want you to be close to me.

390
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 2: And if you get close to me, if you get

391
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: a prayer life and a Bible reading life.

392
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: And she gets the same, and you both start.

393
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: Doing that on your own, and you're drawing nearer, nearer,

394
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 2: nearer to God than guess what, You're inseparable. You're inseparable.

395
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 2: And God says, I'm looking and I wrote this down yesterday.

396
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: I heard the Lord say, I want to get in

397
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: the middle of the marriages.

398
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: I want them to give me the thrones on in

399
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: their marriage. Again.

400
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: I want to get in the middle of families. Everybody say, Lord,

401
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,959
Speaker 2: I give you the middle place, the very central place

402
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: of our relationships in my family. I put you in

403
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: that middle ground through mercy, through forgiveness. Say this, don't

404
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: let the devil divideth. I want every husband to say it,

405
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 2: every wife to say it. Don't let the devil divideth

406
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 2: so much at stake, God says, when you get your

407
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 2: spirit right.

408
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: You'll be reaching for the one that.

409
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 2: You love. Not allow that stuff in your heart. You

410
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 2: will reach. And he says, when I see that, I

411
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: see humility. And when I see that, I see the

412
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 2: right spirit. If you're not reaching, if you're just pouting,

413
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: if you're just angry and upset, you're not reaching. At

414
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 2: some point, it ain't gonna ever get better until both

415
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 2: parties start reaching, saying I love.

416
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 1: You, we need one another.

417
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you what the Lord told me yesterday,

418
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: just so beautifully. I was reading Ephesians about marriage, and

419
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 2: believe his Ephesians too, somewhere in there about marriage and

420
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 2: so powerful.

421
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: And here's the bottom line.

422
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 2: Those of you who are single, listen, very very very

423
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: intently right here. The reason that God gives marriage to

424
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: a couple. You say, well, what's the reason? So that

425
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: they can have sex without guilt? No, so they can

426
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 2: populate and have children. Well, that's part of it, and

427
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: all of that is true, But the real reason for

428
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 2: marriage is to fulfill God's purpose in the family. Hello,

429
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 2: I'm Jensen Franklin, and I want to welcome you to

430
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 2: Real America's voice. If you'll give me the next few

431
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: moments and listen, you're going to have the opportunity, I believe,

432
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: to have a moment that can change your life.

433
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this.

434
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this yesterday, that in my life,

435
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 2: a single person should ask this question if they're dating

436
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 2: someone in considering mayors them, will if I marry and

437
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 2: add that person to my life, will that person aid

438
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 2: me in fulfilling the purposes of God? If they will

439
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 2: not help me fulfill God's purpose for my life, they

440
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: do not belong in that place. Now I think about

441
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 2: me and Cheris for a moment, she's sick. She's not

442
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 2: able to be here this morning. Y'all keep praying for it,

443
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: because he's spent a week of it and more.

444
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: But listen to this.

445
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 2: So I thought about, I have this purpose. God called

446
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 2: me alone when I was single to preach. I was

447
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 2: not dating anybody. I was single, and God called me

448
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: to preach. He called me singularly to preach. I knew

449
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 2: without a doubt I was called to preach. And then

450
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 2: I met Sarise several years later, and I fell in

451
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 2: love with her. And now looking back over my life,

452
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: not only did I fall in love with her and

453
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 2: we did it like God said, do it, but listen

454
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: to this. She has helped me fulfill my purpose which

455
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 2: I have. No this ministry would not on any level

456
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 2: be where it is today for the glory of God.

457
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: Had she not been taking care of things in the

458
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: purpose of God that I'm totally blinded to that, I'm

459
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: totally ignorant in that, I'm totally zero gifting in beauty, in.

460
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: Architect in.

461
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 2: All the carpet, all the every detail of buildings and

462
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,239
Speaker 2: things that she just knows instinctively, and I just know

463
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: how to preach instinctively. But think about this, she could

464
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,479
Speaker 2: have fulfilled.

465
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: Her purpose.

466
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: If she hadn't married me. And we've done it and

467
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: touched the world together together. That's a powerful, powerful thing.

468
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: We've got too much.

469
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: And don't you think just because you've walked with the

470
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 2: Lord for many, many years, the enemy will not come

471
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: and try to break those wings loose from one another.

472
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: He's done it many times through the years. I remember

473
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: one at one time particular, when the kids were very small.

474
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: I think Courtney and Chrisen, I don't even think Caroline

475
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: was born. Pat You'll remember this. And we had just

476
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: built our first house. Charisa had built it. She's a builder.

477
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: And remember Jeane Jones and Margaret and we were going

478
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: through a rough spot, Me and Charise and the pressure

479
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: of the church and we were building and just a

480
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 2: lot of stuff, just a lot of it tacks, and

481
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 2: the church was in a lot of just it was

482
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: so demanding. I was working all the time. I was

483
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 2: preaching three new sermons a week, and I was just

484
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 2: about that and I had no time for nothing, and

485
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 2: just try and try and trying so hard.

486
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: And we just hit a wall. We just hit a wall.

487
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: And I got up that Sunday morning and I said

488
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: I cannot do this. We had had a terrible week

489
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: and I said, I cannot do this. I'm not going

490
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 2: to church this morning. I called the associate pastor Jean

491
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 2: did for me. His name was Jerry Brackett. He got

492
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: up and preached. I didn't tell anybody anything. We were

493
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: walking through some of the darkest times where everything in

494
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: a scream, give up, quit, You're incompatible.

495
00:30:59,240 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: What's the use?

496
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: And I'm saying to you today, every one of you

497
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 2: will face dark nights like that and dark days like that.

498
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: But we kept holding on, We kept doing what we

499
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 2: could do, and God always came through. When the little

500
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 2: wings finally got over their pride and ego and reached

501
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 2: down and touched in mercy and forgiveness and grace, my

502
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 2: children have not seen a perfect dad, but they've seen a.

503
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: Dad that loves his wife.

504
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 2: I do love my wife, and I loved my children unconditionally.

505
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: Say man, somebody unconditional.

506
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: And that's all God asked of us.

507
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 2: That's the good news, He says, you'll if you'll do that,

508
00:31:54,600 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 2: if you'll forgive one another, if you'll reach out, y'all

509
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 2: fighting in your families, siblings won't speak to each other.

510
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: All the junk that comes, all the heavy, heavy, heavy

511
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 2: stuff that hits a family, it's gonna all come back

512
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: to somebody getting on their knees at least two and

513
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: the wings reaching out and calling again. Let's go to

514
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: eat again, Let's start communicating again. Let's create a throngs

515
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 2: on if we do what we can do, God will

516
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: do what we can't do. This is a this is

517
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: a messed up little message just all over the place,

518
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: but preaching.

519
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: From my heart today because.

520
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: Because your marriage has a divine purpose on it, and

521
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 2: it takes two two or better than one. So I

522
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: ask everybody in the room at every campus to stand

523
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: to your feet. And I'm gonna ask every couple that's married,

524
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: are about.

525
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: To get married, thinking about getting married.

526
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: I want every couple at every campus to grab the

527
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 2: hand of the husband or the wife, because that's the

528
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: only way you can have a marriage is a husband

529
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: and a wife. You have another agreement, and that's freedom

530
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 2: and that's your life and that's but God only recognizes

531
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: a marriage between a man and a woman, and he

532
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 2: loves everybody.

533
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: But you got to do it God's way.

534
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: Marriage is not kind of pick and choose parts of.

535
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: What you like. Do it God's way. Do it God's way, Pastor,

536
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: we want God in our marriage, in our family.

537
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: I want to create ave throngs on own every one

538
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: of you couples that will.

539
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: I know this is crazy.

540
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 2: I know I got to quit acting like we're a

541
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 2: church of two or three hundred people.

542
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: But I don't care.

543
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 2: If I reach the right ones with this, miracles will

544
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: happen in homes and marriages.

545
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: Pastor, I want that. I want that again. Maybe you've

546
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: lost it, maybe you've had it, you lost it. He's

547
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: the God.

548
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 2: Just like you saw the spiritual, the natural Israel miracle.

549
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: Of families released from hostages.

550
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: We can see it spiritually that devil can release our

551
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 2: children and our grandchildren when two agree. So I'm gonna

552
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: ask every couple that's married or engaged or whatever thinking

553
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: about getting married, or maybe you're living together but you're

554
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 2: ready to get married. I'm not going to marry you

555
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 2: right down here, right now, but you need to have

556
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 2: a real deal. And you can do that anywhere. You

557
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 2: can do it under an oak tree. Just get a

558
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 2: good preacher of somebody. We got a big old staff

559
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: called any of them, I'll do it if I can.

560
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 2: I probably can't, but this is serious.

561
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: I mean of you. Since this is serious, I.

562
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: Want you to come as couples and just feel the

563
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: altar as close as you can get. I want you

564
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 2: to face each other. Just come and join hands and

565
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 2: face each other, just like those angels.

566
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: Touch touch, touch, touch, touch, and create a throng zone.

567
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 2: And I want you to see in that circle every care,

568
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 2: every worry, every need, every dream, every child, every issue,

569
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: every circumstance, grandchildren. I want you to put them in

570
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 2: that put them in.

571
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: That throng zone round about.

572
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 2: I want you to put them in that place where

573
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: God said, I'll meet with you about that. I'll meet

574
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 2: with you about your finances. I'll meet with you about

575
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 2: the family resources.

576
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: I'll meet well.

577
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: I care about everything about my people and my families

578
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 2: and my marriages.

579
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: I care about my people.

580
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 2: And so just get the hand of that of that

581
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 2: one that you love, and just say, let's touch right now,

582
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 2: like the angels do it.

583
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: And God, we give you our home, and we give you.

584
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 2: Our marriage, and we give you our children, and we

585
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: give you our finances. And Lord, in some cases, there

586
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: may be some drifting apart, and there may be some

587
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 2: walls and hindrances, and there may be some bitterness, and

588
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 2: there may be some stuff that's gotten in the heart.

589
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: I want the right spirit again. I'm open to it.

590
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:49,719

00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 2: Hellelujah, Now worship them all over this room.

629
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 3: The shide.

630
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: Shut, Helleljah.

631
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 2: Wee squeeze that man's hand and say, you're not numb.

632
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 3: For what my number one? Oh, my number one.

633
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: So God never runs out of mercy, but you do

634
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: run out of time.

635
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 2: And if you don't fix some problems in the season,

636
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 2: that God gives you the grace to do it.

637
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,959
Speaker 1: He told even the spirit.

638
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 2: Of Jezebel, which is a spirit of adultery, a spirit

639
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 2: of unfaithfulness, a spirit of pornography, a spirit of uncleanness.

640
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 2: He says in the Book of Revelation, I'll give you

641
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:57,760
Speaker 2: a space to repent. God never runs out of mercy,

642
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 2: but you can run out of time to fix some things.

643
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 2: And for some of you who are running from God

644
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: single marriage, some of you know that he's not. You

645
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 2: know the center of your physical body is your heart.

646
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 2: He wants that middle ground. He wants your heart. He

647
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 2: wants the throne of your own heart. And he's knocking

648
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 2: on the door saying let me in. And there will

649
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 2: never be a time where His mercy will not be

650
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 2: there for you. But you can run out of time

651
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 2: and miss that season, and then comes the judgment and

652
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 2: the disaster and the pain of it. And God brought

653
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 2: you to this service today to run to the mercy seat,

654
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: obtain mercy.

655
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: And then give it.

656
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 2: And leave here united, touching it and agreen if any

657
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 2: the two of you will touch and agreement, you eighteen said,

658
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 2: if I'm just getting you two to keep agreeing, stay

659
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 2: in agreement, refuse the spirit of division and offense. You

660
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 2: can overcome anything and everything hell throws at you.

661
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 4: In one piercing moment, horror and darkness took over our lives.

662
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 4: Hundreds of our community members were murdered. We lost our

663
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 4: beloved friends, we lost our laughter, and we lost our innocence.

664
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 4: We will never be the same like before October seventh,

665
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 4: but we are determined to be better and stronger. Pastor Jensen,

666
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 4: thank you for each and every step that you are

667
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 4: taking with us choosing over darkness. But it wasn't only

668
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:07,760
Speaker 4: buildings that we build. Together, we build communities, and together

669
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 4: we chose life. They may have crushed our houses, they

670
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 4: may have hurt us physically, but they did not break

671
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 4: our spirit. Because we are the people of the light

672
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 4: and we will continue always to choose life together.

673
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 2: What God has placed inside of you is unstoppable by

674
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: any external force. Remember, God has equipped you to multiply

675
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 2: from the inside out, not the outside in the sea,

676
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 2: for your multiplication is already within you. Don't you listen

677
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 2: to the lies of the enemy when he says you

678
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 2: don't have a future and you don't have anything you

679
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 2: need to be hoping for. Maybe you're battling depression and sickness.

680
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 2: I've been there, and I'm going to tell you God

681
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 2: has a third coat coming your way. It's not going

682
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: to end where you are. It all starts when you

683
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 2: call on the name of Jesus. Pray with me right

684
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 2: where you are. Call on his name, Say Jesus, I

685
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 2: receive you today as my Lord, as my savior. Help

686
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 2: me restore my life and take what You've put in

687
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 2: me and multiply it in Jesus' name. Isn't it a

688
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 2: remarkable thing that the first blessing ever proclaimed in the

689
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 2: Bible is a multiplication blessing. Well, if you prayed that prayer,

690
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 2: what just happened is going to multiply.

691
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: In your life.

692
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 2: It will affect every aspect of your life and it's not.

693
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: Curses, its blessings.

694
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 2: Everywhere you go that one seed prayer will sow many

695
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 2: more seeds of blessings for generations to come. I cannot

696
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 2: end today's program without thinking every single one of you

697
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 2: who has given to our newest initiative, Light over Darkness.

698
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 2: This week we mark one year since the tragic October

699
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 2: the seventh attacks, a day when terra struck the Eshkol

700
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 2: region in Israel, leaving a trail of unimaginable suffering. For

701
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: five years now, we've been sowing seeds that have multiplied

702
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 2: in given people hope and healing in those very areas

703
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 2: of Israel. We've invested in life saving projects like the

704
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 2: Kingdom Play School, the bomb shelters that saved lives, fire stations,

705
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 2: fire trucks, and life saving equipment. These projects were a

706
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 2: beacon of life on that dark day a year ago,

707
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,479
Speaker 2: and we stand more committed than ever to the nation

708
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 2: of Israel to restore and rebuild those precious communities for

709
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: the glory of God and to fulfill Bible prophecy. Don't

710
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 2: ever forget that we have been called to be light

711
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 2: in the darkness, and that's why we've committed the single

712
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 2: largest amount of funding in the history of our ministry

713
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 2: to partner with our dear friends at the Jewish National

714
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 2: Fund to rebuild and renew the Eshkol region. Together, we're

715
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,879
Speaker 2: going to make a profound difference. We're going to give

716
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 2: them fifteen million dollars through these three projects, and God

717
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 2: is going to rebuild. Together, we will be light over

718
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 2: the darkness.

719
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 5: On October seventh, Israel was attacked by the dark forces

720
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 5: of Hamas. It was the worst massacre the Jewish people

721
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 5: experienced since the Holocaust. The Eshkol region in southern Israel

722
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 5: was attacked directly. This is where Jensen Franklin Media Ministries,

723
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 5: in partnership with the Jewish National Fund, have been working

724
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 5: the last five years to build fortified schools, bomb shelters

725
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 5: and other life saving projects. Thankfully, these projects did save

726
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 5: many lives that day, and now we stand at a

727
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 5: pivotal moment, poised to provide a lifeline for the people

728
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 5: of Eshkel who continue to be attacked by terrorists every day.

729
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 5: Jensen Franklin Media Ministries recently committed the largest amount of

730
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:33,919
Speaker 5: funding ever towards the initiative from Darkness to Light, representing

731
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 5: our unwavering dedication to not just help rebuild communities in Eskel,

732
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 5: but to mend hearts and restore what seemed irrevocably lost.

733
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 5: We have a comprehensive plan that will be completed in

734
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 5: three phases. Phase number one provides physical safety. That is

735
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,439
Speaker 5: why we are building civil defense centers and over eight

736
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,280
Speaker 5: hundred safe houses, making sure every family in the region

737
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 5: has a safe room in case of terrorist attacks. When

738
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 5: you give to a project life this, there is a

739
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 5: promise for you found in Genesis twelve three. I will

740
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 5: bless those who bless you is real. Together, we can

741
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 5: demonstrate that faith combined with collective action can illuminate the

742
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 5: darkest moments and forge a brighter, more hopeful future for

743
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 5: the Eschkeel community. Call or go online today
