  • Just in the first portion of
  • 00:00:29.986 --> 00:00:32.222
  • This book that i have on the
  • 00:00:32.222 --> 00:00:33.857
  • Lessons from elijah. i'm not
  • 00:00:33.857 --> 00:00:35.792
  • Going to be teaching this whole
  • 00:00:35.792 --> 00:00:37.093
  • Thing. typically, i use about
  • 00:00:37.093 --> 00:00:38.928
  • Six weeks to teach this, but i'm
  • 00:00:38.928 --> 00:00:41.264
  • Going to be teaching just the
  • 00:00:41.264 --> 00:00:42.499
  • First portion of this. and this
  • 00:00:42.499 --> 00:00:44.801
  • Is one of the things that the
  • 00:00:44.801 --> 00:00:46.469
  • Lord has taught me that has
  • 00:00:46.536 --> 00:00:49.305
  • Lord has taught me that has really ministered to me. as a
  • 00:00:49.372 --> 00:00:50.507
  • Really ministered to me. as a matter of fact, today the lord
  • 00:00:50.573 --> 00:00:51.875
  • Matter of fact, today the lord was speaking some things to me
  • 00:00:51.941 --> 00:00:53.209
  • Was speaking some things to me about all of our construction
  • 00:00:53.276 --> 00:00:55.311
  • About all of our construction and everything that we're doing.
  • 00:00:55.378 --> 00:00:56.846
  • And everything that we're doing. and i was once again just
  • 00:00:56.913 --> 00:00:58.681
  • And i was once again just reminded of this, and this is
  • 00:00:58.748 --> 00:01:01.351
  • Reminded of this, and this is really, really important. real
  • 00:01:01.417 --> 00:01:03.953
  • Really, really important. real quickly i'm going to say
  • 00:01:04.020 --> 00:01:04.854
  • Quickly i'm going to say something, i'll spend a lot of
  • 00:01:04.921 --> 00:01:06.089
  • Something, i'll spend a lot of time verifying this, but to give
  • 00:01:06.156 --> 00:01:08.057
  • Time verifying this, but to give you an idea of what i'm talking
  • 00:01:08.124 --> 00:01:09.392
  • You an idea of what i'm talking about. the lord doesn't send
  • 00:01:09.459 --> 00:01:11.861
  • About. the lord doesn't send your provision to where you are.
  • 00:01:11.928 --> 00:01:14.697
  • Your provision to where you are. he sends it to where he tells
  • 00:01:14.764 --> 00:01:16.399
  • He sends it to where he tells you to go. or you could say that
  • 00:01:16.466 --> 00:01:18.868
  • You to go. or you could say that there is a place called there.
  • 00:01:18.935 --> 00:01:20.537
  • There is a place called there. god will say, i'm sending you
  • 00:01:20.603 --> 00:01:22.438
  • God will say, i'm sending you there, and that is where god is
  • 00:01:22.505 --> 00:01:24.741
  • There, and that is where god is going to send his provision, his
  • 00:01:24.807 --> 00:01:26.309
  • Going to send his provision, his anointing. his blessing will be
  • 00:01:26.376 --> 00:01:28.912
  • Anointing. his blessing will be on that, and the problem with a
  • 00:01:28.978 --> 00:01:30.880
  • On that, and the problem with a lot of people is that they are
  • 00:01:30.947 --> 00:01:33.349
  • Lot of people is that they are waiting here and they're saying,
  • 00:01:33.416 --> 00:01:35.351
  • Waiting here and they're saying, god, if you'll do this and if
  • 00:01:35.418 --> 00:01:36.786
  • God, if you'll do this and if you'll provide all of my needs
  • 00:01:36.853 --> 00:01:38.288
  • You'll provide all of my needs and if you'll do this, this and
  • 00:01:38.354 --> 00:01:39.556
  • And if you'll do this, this and this, then i'll go there. but
  • 00:01:39.622 --> 00:01:41.658
  • This, then i'll go there. but god sends your provision to
  • 00:01:41.724 --> 00:01:43.326
  • God sends your provision to where he calls you to go not
  • 00:01:43.393 --> 00:01:44.727
  • Where he calls you to go not where you are. so the problem
  • 00:01:44.794 --> 00:01:46.996
  • Where you are. so the problem with most of us is we just
  • 00:01:47.063 --> 00:01:48.731
  • With most of us is we just aren't all there. amen. so this
  • 00:01:48.798 --> 00:01:52.135
  • Aren't all there. amen. so this is out of 1 kings, chapter 17,
  • 00:01:52.202 --> 00:01:55.238
  • Is out of 1 kings, chapter 17, is where the lord spoke this to
  • 00:01:55.305 --> 00:01:57.106
  • Me. and in 1 kings, chapter 17,
  • 00:01:57.173 --> 00:01:59.776
  • And in verse 1, it says, and
  • 00:02:01.344 --> 00:02:02.545
  • And in verse 1, it says, and elijah the tishbite, who was of
  • 00:02:02.612 --> 00:02:05.481
  • Elijah the tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of gilead, said
  • 00:02:05.548 --> 00:02:07.650
  • The inhabitants of gilead, said unto ahab, as the lord god of
  • 00:02:07.717 --> 00:02:09.852
  • Unto ahab, as the lord god of israel liveth, before whom i
  • 00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.055
  • Israel liveth, before whom i stand, there shall not be dew
  • 00:02:12.121 --> 00:02:14.290
  • Stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but
  • 00:02:14.357 --> 00:02:16.226
  • Nor rain these years, but according to my word. now
  • 00:02:16.292 --> 00:02:18.895
  • There's a lot i could say about
  • 00:02:18.962 --> 00:02:20.296
  • There's a lot i could say about this but let me just point out
  • 00:02:20.363 --> 00:02:21.631
  • This but let me just point out that there wasn't a tremendous
  • 00:02:21.698 --> 00:02:22.966
  • That there wasn't a tremendous amount of background. it just
  • 00:02:23.032 --> 00:02:24.100
  • Amount of background. it just said that elijah was from this
  • 00:02:24.167 --> 00:02:25.702
  • Said that elijah was from this area. it told you the kind of
  • 00:02:25.768 --> 00:02:28.938
  • Area. it told you the kind of tribe, the family that he was
  • 00:02:29.005 --> 00:02:30.506
  • Tribe, the family that he was from, but it didn't really
  • 00:02:30.573 --> 00:02:32.075
  • From, but it didn't really introduce him. he just came on
  • 00:02:32.141 --> 00:02:33.843
  • Introduce him. he just came on the scene. elijah was a nobody,
  • 00:02:33.910 --> 00:02:36.613
  • The scene. elijah was a nobody, really. he, he wasn't a prophet.
  • 00:02:36.679 --> 00:02:38.815
  • Really. he, he wasn't a prophet. he wasn't a priest. he wasn't
  • 00:02:38.881 --> 00:02:41.117
  • He wasn't a priest. he wasn't any of these things. and he just
  • 00:02:41.184 --> 00:02:44.087
  • Any of these things. and he just showed up on the scene and
  • 00:02:44.153 --> 00:02:46.155
  • Showed up on the scene and walked up, right up to king ahab
  • 00:02:46.222 --> 00:02:49.025
  • Walked up, right up to king ahab and told him, this is what's
  • 00:02:49.092 --> 00:02:51.227
  • And told him, this is what's going to happen, and it's not
  • 00:02:51.294 --> 00:02:53.062
  • Going to happen, and it's not going to rain. it's not going to
  • 00:02:53.129 --> 00:02:54.364
  • Going to rain. it's not going to have dew until i say so. and
  • 00:02:54.430 --> 00:02:57.100
  • Have dew until i say so. and look at this verse, if you'll
  • 00:02:57.166 --> 00:02:58.067
  • Look at this verse, if you'll back up just a few verses
  • 00:02:58.134 --> 00:02:59.869
  • Back up just a few verses into the previous chapter.
  • 00:02:59.936 --> 00:03:01.671
  • In verse 30, it says, and
  • 00:03:01.738 --> 00:03:03.806
  • In verse 30, it says, and ahab the son of omri
  • 00:03:03.873 --> 00:03:06.142
  • Ahab the son of omri did evil in the sight of
  • 00:03:06.209 --> 00:03:07.410
  • Did evil in the sight of the lord above all that were
  • 00:03:07.477 --> 00:03:09.245
  • The lord above all that were before him. and it goes on to
  • 00:03:09.312 --> 00:03:11.748
  • Say in another place, that it
  • 00:03:11.814 --> 00:03:12.915
  • Say in another place, that it was his wife, jezebel, who was
  • 00:03:12.982 --> 00:03:14.784
  • Was his wife, jezebel, who was famous. i mean today, if a woman
  • 00:03:14.851 --> 00:03:17.320
  • Famous. i mean today, if a woman is just really acting like a
  • 00:03:17.387 --> 00:03:18.688
  • Is just really acting like a witch and doing something bad,
  • 00:03:18.755 --> 00:03:20.423
  • Witch and doing something bad, they'll call her jezebel. her
  • 00:03:20.490 --> 00:03:22.425
  • They'll call her jezebel. her name lives in infamy now for
  • 00:03:22.492 --> 00:03:24.794
  • Name lives in infamy now for thousands of years. so ahab and
  • 00:03:24.861 --> 00:03:27.397
  • Thousands of years. so ahab and jezebel were the two most wicked
  • 00:03:27.463 --> 00:03:29.666
  • Jezebel were the two most wicked rulers that had ever ruled over
  • 00:03:29.732 --> 00:03:33.069
  • Rulers that had ever ruled over israel. and they had actually
  • 00:03:33.136 --> 00:03:35.204
  • Israel. and they had actually forsaken the worship of god, and
  • 00:03:35.271 --> 00:03:38.541
  • Forsaken the worship of god, and they had instituted the worship
  • 00:03:38.608 --> 00:03:40.576
  • They had instituted the worship of baal. and they had 450
  • 00:03:40.643 --> 00:03:41.978
  • Prophets of baal and 400
  • 00:03:43.746 --> 00:03:46.482
  • Prophets of baal and 400 prophets of the grove. that's
  • 00:03:46.549 --> 00:03:47.784
  • Prophets of the grove. that's 850 people that every day they
  • 00:03:47.850 --> 00:03:51.120
  • 850 people that every day they fed at their expense. and it was
  • 00:03:51.187 --> 00:03:53.823
  • Fed at their expense. and it was a state sponsored religion, but
  • 00:03:53.890 --> 00:03:55.825
  • A state sponsored religion, but it was the total rejection of
  • 00:03:55.892 --> 00:03:58.027
  • It was the total rejection of the god of israel, and it was
  • 00:03:58.094 --> 00:03:59.796
  • The god of israel, and it was instituting baal. i tell you,
  • 00:03:59.862 --> 00:04:01.631
  • Instituting baal. i tell you, there's a, a lot of parallels
  • 00:04:01.698 --> 00:04:04.734
  • There's a, a lot of parallels between the situation that
  • 00:04:04.801 --> 00:04:07.837
  • Between the situation that elijah found himself in and the
  • 00:04:07.904 --> 00:04:09.939
  • Elijah found himself in and the way we see things going in the
  • 00:04:10.006 --> 00:04:11.407
  • Way we see things going in the united states. and of course,
  • 00:04:11.474 --> 00:04:12.642
  • United states. and of course, this program is heard all around
  • 00:04:12.709 --> 00:04:14.043
  • This program is heard all around the world. and you could say
  • 00:04:14.110 --> 00:04:15.978
  • The world. and you could say this like with many of the
  • 00:04:16.045 --> 00:04:17.280
  • This like with many of the european nations that used to be
  • 00:04:17.347 --> 00:04:18.915
  • European nations that used to be so godly. you know germany where
  • 00:04:18.981 --> 00:04:21.517
  • So godly. you know germany where the reformation started with
  • 00:04:21.584 --> 00:04:23.720
  • The reformation started with martin luther and on and on. you
  • 00:04:23.786 --> 00:04:25.355
  • Martin luther and on and on. you could talk about england and
  • 00:04:25.421 --> 00:04:26.456
  • Could talk about england and just so many places around this
  • 00:04:26.522 --> 00:04:28.024
  • Just so many places around this world that have a great godly
  • 00:04:28.091 --> 00:04:30.326
  • World that have a great godly heritage, and yet today
  • 00:04:30.393 --> 00:04:33.029
  • Heritage, and yet today christianity is being
  • 00:04:33.096 --> 00:04:35.431
  • Christianity is being persecuted. it is certainly not
  • 00:04:35.498 --> 00:04:37.600
  • Persecuted. it is certainly not mainstream, and you get
  • 00:04:37.667 --> 00:04:39.168
  • Mainstream, and you get criticized and called all kinds
  • 00:04:39.235 --> 00:04:40.870
  • Criticized and called all kinds of names if you really stand up
  • 00:04:40.937 --> 00:04:42.705
  • Of names if you really stand up for the lord. well, there are
  • 00:04:42.772 --> 00:04:44.340
  • For the lord. well, there are some comparisons because in this
  • 00:04:44.407 --> 00:04:46.209
  • Some comparisons because in this situation they not only were
  • 00:04:46.275 --> 00:04:48.978
  • Situation they not only were anti the god of israel. if you
  • 00:04:49.045 --> 00:04:51.981
  • Anti the god of israel. if you were a prophet, or you could say
  • 00:04:52.048 --> 00:04:53.883
  • Were a prophet, or you could say in our vernacular, if you were a
  • 00:04:53.950 --> 00:04:55.318
  • In our vernacular, if you were a minister of the gospel, if you
  • 00:04:55.385 --> 00:04:57.587
  • Minister of the gospel, if you were standing up for the lord,
  • 00:04:57.653 --> 00:04:59.155
  • Were standing up for the lord, ahab and jezebel were killing
  • 00:04:59.222 --> 00:05:00.890
  • Ahab and jezebel were killing those people. they had killed
  • 00:05:00.957 --> 00:05:02.959
  • Those people. they had killed all of these people. and here
  • 00:05:03.025 --> 00:05:04.560
  • All of these people. and here comes elijah into a situation
  • 00:05:04.627 --> 00:05:06.963
  • Comes elijah into a situation like that, and he just boldly
  • 00:05:07.029 --> 00:05:09.732
  • Like that, and he just boldly walks up to the very person who
  • 00:05:09.799 --> 00:05:11.434
  • Walks up to the very person who had been killing all of the
  • 00:05:11.501 --> 00:05:12.769
  • Had been killing all of the preachers that proclaim that
  • 00:05:12.835 --> 00:05:15.805
  • Preachers that proclaim that jehovah the god of israel, was
  • 00:05:15.872 --> 00:05:17.740
  • Jehovah the god of israel, was the one true god, he just walks
  • 00:05:17.807 --> 00:05:19.809
  • The one true god, he just walks right up to him and says, thus
  • 00:05:19.876 --> 00:05:21.811
  • Right up to him and says, thus saith the lord. you know i like
  • 00:05:21.878 --> 00:05:23.946
  • Saith the lord. you know i like this because again, there are so
  • 00:05:24.013 --> 00:05:25.648
  • This because again, there are so many people today in our
  • 00:05:25.715 --> 00:05:27.183
  • Many people today in our situation where we are having a
  • 00:05:27.250 --> 00:05:29.018
  • Situation where we are having a lot of pushback and criticism.
  • 00:05:29.085 --> 00:05:31.487
  • Lot of pushback and criticism. and christianity is openly being
  • 00:05:31.554 --> 00:05:33.890
  • And christianity is openly being spoken against. they feel like
  • 00:05:33.956 --> 00:05:35.958
  • Spoken against. they feel like that they need to moderate, and
  • 00:05:36.025 --> 00:05:37.493
  • That they need to moderate, and they need to come at things in a
  • 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:38.995
  • They need to come at things in a subtle way so that they don't
  • 00:05:39.061 --> 00:05:41.097
  • Subtle way so that they don't offend anybody. you know the
  • 00:05:41.164 --> 00:05:44.066
  • Offend anybody. you know the gospel is offensive. it is
  • 00:05:44.133 --> 00:05:46.068
  • Gospel is offensive. it is wonderful for the people who
  • 00:05:46.135 --> 00:05:47.570
  • Wonderful for the people who receive it, but for the people
  • 00:05:47.637 --> 00:05:49.539
  • Receive it, but for the people who reject it, you aren't going
  • 00:05:49.605 --> 00:05:52.175
  • Who reject it, you aren't going to win them over by coming in
  • 00:05:52.241 --> 00:05:53.810
  • To win them over by coming in and compromising and trying to
  • 00:05:53.876 --> 00:05:55.278
  • And compromising and trying to become like them. there are so
  • 00:05:55.344 --> 00:05:57.213
  • Become like them. there are so many churches that have taken
  • 00:05:57.280 --> 00:05:59.449
  • Many churches that have taken their worship service, their
  • 00:05:59.515 --> 00:06:00.817
  • Their worship service, their preaching service and everything
  • 00:06:00.883 --> 00:06:02.151
  • Preaching service and everything and they've tried to moderate it
  • 00:06:02.218 --> 00:06:03.653
  • And they've tried to moderate it so that even an unbeliever would
  • 00:06:03.719 --> 00:06:05.655
  • So that even an unbeliever would be attracted and want to come
  • 00:06:05.721 --> 00:06:07.290
  • Be attracted and want to come there for entertainment thinking
  • 00:06:07.356 --> 00:06:08.925
  • There for entertainment thinking that somehow or another, once
  • 00:06:08.991 --> 00:06:10.126
  • That somehow or another, once they get them inside the doors
  • 00:06:10.193 --> 00:06:11.928
  • They get them inside the doors that they'll be able to convert
  • 00:06:11.994 --> 00:06:13.763
  • That they'll be able to convert them. you know, i'm not going to
  • 00:06:13.830 --> 00:06:15.064
  • Them. you know, i'm not going to call the name but the man who
  • 00:06:15.131 --> 00:06:16.399
  • Call the name but the man who was really behind, or one of the
  • 00:06:16.466 --> 00:06:19.068
  • Was really behind, or one of the leaders of this seeker sensitive
  • 00:06:19.135 --> 00:06:22.772
  • Leaders of this seeker sensitive church movement back 20, 30
  • 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:24.640
  • Church movement back 20, 30 years ago or something like
  • 00:06:24.707 --> 00:06:25.875
  • Years ago or something like that, he was very successful in
  • 00:06:25.942 --> 00:06:28.044
  • That, he was very successful in drawing huge crowds to his
  • 00:06:28.110 --> 00:06:30.980
  • Drawing huge crowds to his church. it was one of the very
  • 00:06:31.047 --> 00:06:32.114
  • Church. it was one of the very first megachurches that we had.
  • 00:06:32.181 --> 00:06:34.617
  • First megachurches that we had. and he himself said that they
  • 00:06:34.684 --> 00:06:37.253
  • And he himself said that they would not preach anything that
  • 00:06:37.320 --> 00:06:38.821
  • Would not preach anything that would be offensive. they made
  • 00:06:38.888 --> 00:06:40.456
  • Would be offensive. they made the song service real short. the
  • 00:06:40.523 --> 00:06:42.291
  • The song service real short. the preaching just like 10, 15
  • 00:06:42.358 --> 00:06:44.026
  • Preaching just like 10, 15 minutes thinking that if they
  • 00:06:44.093 --> 00:06:45.595
  • Minutes thinking that if they could just get the people in the
  • 00:06:45.661 --> 00:06:46.829
  • Could just get the people in the door, then they would get them
  • 00:06:46.896 --> 00:06:48.197
  • Door, then they would get them involved in these programs
  • 00:06:48.264 --> 00:06:49.565
  • Involved in these programs during the week, and somehow or
  • 00:06:49.632 --> 00:06:51.367
  • During the week, and somehow or another they would convert them.
  • 00:06:51.434 --> 00:06:53.302
  • Another they would convert them. but did you know after, i don't
  • 00:06:53.369 --> 00:06:54.871
  • But did you know after, i don't know the exact amount of time,
  • 00:06:54.937 --> 00:06:56.172
  • Know the exact amount of time, but probably two decades of
  • 00:06:56.239 --> 00:06:58.174
  • But probably two decades of doing this, the man who at one
  • 00:06:58.241 --> 00:06:59.809
  • Doing this, the man who at one time was the leader, the
  • 00:06:59.876 --> 00:07:00.977
  • Time was the leader, the instigator of that has said that
  • 00:07:01.043 --> 00:07:02.612
  • Instigator of that has said that it was an absolute failure. they
  • 00:07:02.678 --> 00:07:04.814
  • It was an absolute failure. they drew in large numbers of people
  • 00:07:04.881 --> 00:07:06.582
  • Drew in large numbers of people but they did not convert them,
  • 00:07:06.649 --> 00:07:08.584
  • But they did not convert them, and what they did in a sense was
  • 00:07:08.651 --> 00:07:10.253
  • And what they did in a sense was inoculate them against the true
  • 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.822
  • Inoculate them against the true gospel because they had just
  • 00:07:12.889 --> 00:07:15.258
  • Gospel because they had just given them little tiny bits and
  • 00:07:15.324 --> 00:07:17.159
  • Given them little tiny bits and pieces and subtle hints towards
  • 00:07:17.226 --> 00:07:19.729
  • Pieces and subtle hints towards it. and nobody was really
  • 00:07:19.795 --> 00:07:21.430
  • It. and nobody was really converted and yet they felt like
  • 00:07:21.497 --> 00:07:23.299
  • Converted and yet they felt like that they were in right standing
  • 00:07:23.366 --> 00:07:24.433
  • That they were in right standing with god because they went to
  • 00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:25.601
  • With god because they went to church and went through the
  • 00:07:25.668 --> 00:07:26.669
  • Church and went through the motions. and so basically, he
  • 00:07:26.736 --> 00:07:28.638
  • Motions. and so basically, he was saying it was a failure. it
  • 00:07:28.704 --> 00:07:29.839
  • Was saying it was a failure. it didn't work. and i'll tell you,
  • 00:07:29.906 --> 00:07:31.741
  • Didn't work. and i'll tell you, you can look at elijah right
  • 00:07:31.807 --> 00:07:33.276
  • You can look at elijah right here and elijah did not come in
  • 00:07:33.342 --> 00:07:35.778
  • Here and elijah did not come in and, you know, just kind of hide
  • 00:07:35.845 --> 00:07:38.414
  • And, you know, just kind of hide anything that he was saying. he
  • 00:07:38.481 --> 00:07:40.016
  • Anything that he was saying. he walked right up to the man who
  • 00:07:40.082 --> 00:07:41.517
  • Walked right up to the man who was killing anybody who
  • 00:07:41.584 --> 00:07:43.019
  • Was killing anybody who proclaimed to represent the
  • 00:07:43.085 --> 00:07:45.521
  • Proclaimed to represent the lord, and he says, thus saith
  • 00:07:45.588 --> 00:07:47.290
  • Lord, and he says, thus saith the lord god of israel. now ahab
  • 00:07:47.356 --> 00:07:50.526
  • The lord god of israel. now ahab and jezebel had rejected the
  • 00:07:50.593 --> 00:07:52.461
  • And jezebel had rejected the lord god of israel. they said,
  • 00:07:52.528 --> 00:07:54.397
  • Lord god of israel. they said, no, baal is the god of israel
  • 00:07:54.463 --> 00:07:56.799
  • No, baal is the god of israel now, and yet that didn't change
  • 00:07:56.866 --> 00:07:58.601
  • Now, and yet that didn't change the truth. did you know, again,
  • 00:07:58.668 --> 00:08:00.436
  • The truth. did you know, again, in our nation there are people
  • 00:08:00.503 --> 00:08:01.771
  • In our nation there are people that saying this is not a
  • 00:08:01.837 --> 00:08:02.838
  • That saying this is not a christian nation. it was not
  • 00:08:02.905 --> 00:08:04.607
  • Christian nation. it was not founded on christian principles.
  • 00:08:04.674 --> 00:08:06.509
  • Founded on christian principles. they've come up with this 1619
  • 00:08:06.576 --> 00:08:07.877
  • Project, which they have taken
  • 00:08:09.145 --> 00:08:11.414
  • Project, which they have taken some truth, but they have
  • 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.049
  • Some truth, but they have totally mischaracterized,
  • 00:08:13.115 --> 00:08:14.750
  • Totally mischaracterized, misrepresented everything that
  • 00:08:14.817 --> 00:08:16.986
  • Misrepresented everything that has happened, and they have said
  • 00:08:17.053 --> 00:08:18.888
  • Has happened, and they have said that america is systemically
  • 00:08:18.955 --> 00:08:20.957
  • That america is systemically racist, and it's always had
  • 00:08:21.023 --> 00:08:22.758
  • Racist, and it's always had these problems and america is
  • 00:08:22.825 --> 00:08:24.293
  • These problems and america is not a godly nation. it wasn't
  • 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.529
  • Not a godly nation. it wasn't founded on godly principles.
  • 00:08:26.596 --> 00:08:27.964
  • Founded on godly principles. that is an absolute lie. was
  • 00:08:28.030 --> 00:08:30.733
  • That is an absolute lie. was that too subtle? anybody miss my
  • 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.768
  • That too subtle? anybody miss my point here? i'm telling you that
  • 00:08:32.835 --> 00:08:34.737
  • Point here? i'm telling you that is a lie. that is a
  • 00:08:34.804 --> 00:08:35.771
  • Is a lie. that is a misrepresentation and i'm not
  • 00:08:35.838 --> 00:08:37.440
  • Misrepresentation and i'm not going to spend the time
  • 00:08:37.506 --> 00:08:38.307
  • Going to spend the time verifying that, but i can verify
  • 00:08:38.374 --> 00:08:40.776
  • Verifying that, but i can verify that that is totally
  • 00:08:40.843 --> 00:08:41.911
  • That that is totally misrepresenting everything, and
  • 00:08:41.978 --> 00:08:44.513
  • Misrepresenting everything, and it has mischaracterized things.
  • 00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:46.315
  • It has mischaracterized things. and because of it there are
  • 00:08:46.382 --> 00:08:49.118
  • And because of it there are people now that will just come
  • 00:08:49.185 --> 00:08:50.620
  • People now that will just come in and instead of just standing
  • 00:08:50.686 --> 00:08:52.488
  • In and instead of just standing up and boldly saying, this is a
  • 00:08:52.555 --> 00:08:54.056
  • Up and boldly saying, this is a lie, this isn't the truth and,
  • 00:08:54.123 --> 00:08:57.026
  • Lie, this isn't the truth and, and speaking the truth, they
  • 00:08:57.093 --> 00:08:58.527
  • And speaking the truth, they come in and they don't want to
  • 00:08:58.594 --> 00:08:59.862
  • Come in and they don't want to offend anybody, and so they're
  • 00:08:59.929 --> 00:09:01.464
  • Offend anybody, and so they're just saying things. elijah was
  • 00:09:01.530 --> 00:09:04.634
  • Just saying things. elijah was opposite of that. elijah walked
  • 00:09:04.700 --> 00:09:06.902
  • Opposite of that. elijah walked up to the man who had said that
  • 00:09:06.969 --> 00:09:08.437
  • Up to the man who had said that there is no true jehovah, that
  • 00:09:08.504 --> 00:09:10.706
  • There is no true jehovah, that that's not the true god. baal
  • 00:09:10.773 --> 00:09:12.274
  • That's not the true god. baal is, and he was killing anybody
  • 00:09:12.341 --> 00:09:14.276
  • Is, and he was killing anybody who opposed him. and elijah
  • 00:09:14.343 --> 00:09:16.045
  • Who opposed him. and elijah walks right up. i could just see
  • 00:09:16.112 --> 00:09:17.513
  • Walks right up. i could just see him putting his finger in this
  • 00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:19.115
  • Him putting his finger in this guy's chest. i don't know if he
  • 00:09:19.181 --> 00:09:20.916
  • Guy's chest. i don't know if he did that, but it was that kind
  • 00:09:20.983 --> 00:09:23.352
  • Did that, but it was that kind of thing about, thus saith the
  • 00:09:23.419 --> 00:09:25.588
  • Of thing about, thus saith the lord god of israel, the one whom
  • 00:09:25.655 --> 00:09:27.757
  • Lord god of israel, the one whom you have rejected. did you know,
  • 00:09:27.823 --> 00:09:30.159
  • You have rejected. did you know, this same thing was done in the
  • 00:09:30.226 --> 00:09:32.395
  • This same thing was done in the new testament. after peter and
  • 00:09:32.461 --> 00:09:34.530
  • New testament. after peter and all of the apostles on the day
  • 00:09:34.597 --> 00:09:36.065
  • All of the apostles on the day of pentecost had been filled
  • 00:09:36.132 --> 00:09:37.366
  • Of pentecost had been filled with the holy spirit, they had
  • 00:09:37.433 --> 00:09:39.001
  • With the holy spirit, they had great boldness, and they were
  • 00:09:39.068 --> 00:09:40.536
  • Great boldness, and they were preaching and the scribes and
  • 00:09:40.603 --> 00:09:41.871
  • Preaching and the scribes and pharisees, the very ones who had
  • 00:09:41.937 --> 00:09:43.572
  • Pharisees, the very ones who had killed jesus, came and arrested
  • 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.175
  • Killed jesus, came and arrested them. and they were asking them
  • 00:09:46.242 --> 00:09:48.077
  • Them. and they were asking them for a justification, what are
  • 00:09:48.144 --> 00:09:49.445
  • For a justification, what are you doing preaching about this
  • 00:09:49.512 --> 00:09:50.780
  • You doing preaching about this jesus? and peter stood right up,
  • 00:09:50.846 --> 00:09:52.815
  • Jesus? and peter stood right up, and he said, jesus, whom god
  • 00:09:52.882 --> 00:09:55.351
  • And he said, jesus, whom god anointed, who you crucified. he
  • 00:09:55.418 --> 00:09:58.354
  • Anointed, who you crucified. he was bold and he was sitting...
  • 00:09:58.421 --> 00:09:59.855
  • Was bold and he was sitting... and he wasn't trying to just
  • 00:09:59.922 --> 00:10:01.223
  • And he wasn't trying to just subtly come up and say, well you
  • 00:10:01.290 --> 00:10:02.758
  • Subtly come up and say, well you guys are really good. i know
  • 00:10:02.825 --> 00:10:04.193
  • Guys are really good. i know you've made a mistake. i know
  • 00:10:04.260 --> 00:10:05.394
  • You've made a mistake. i know you mean well. you just didn't
  • 00:10:05.461 --> 00:10:07.296
  • You mean well. you just didn't understand. no, he just came out
  • 00:10:07.363 --> 00:10:09.065
  • Understand. no, he just came out and he says, you're the ones who
  • 00:10:09.131 --> 00:10:09.999
  • And he says, you're the ones who crucified the lord of glory. he
  • 00:10:10.066 --> 00:10:12.101
  • Crucified the lord of glory. he placed the blame where it was.
  • 00:10:12.168 --> 00:10:13.769
  • Don't misunderstand me. i am
  • 00:10:15.671 --> 00:10:16.972
  • Don't misunderstand me. i am saying that we are supposed to
  • 00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:18.007
  • Saying that we are supposed to love people. but we are supposed
  • 00:10:18.074 --> 00:10:19.675
  • Love people. but we are supposed to love people enough to tell
  • 00:10:19.742 --> 00:10:21.110
  • To love people enough to tell people the truth. and elijah,
  • 00:10:21.177 --> 00:10:23.646
  • People the truth. and elijah, there is just... there are some
  • 00:10:23.713 --> 00:10:25.081

  • People that are honestly deceived and don't know what's
  • 00:10:27.850 --> 00:10:29.285
  • Deceived and don't know what's going on. and you approach those
  • 00:10:29.351 --> 00:10:31.120
  • Going on. and you approach those people totally different than
  • 00:10:31.187 --> 00:10:32.688
  • People totally different than people that have hardened
  • 00:10:32.755 --> 00:10:33.956
  • People that have hardened themself. that verse that i just
  • 00:10:34.023 --> 00:10:35.658
  • Themself. that verse that i just read up here in, in chapter 16,
  • 00:10:35.725 --> 00:10:37.626
  • Read up here in, in chapter 16, verse 30, says that ahab and

  • 00:10:45.034 --> 00:10:47.269
  • Them. they just gave themself over to demonic stuff. and this
  • 00:10:47.336 --> 00:10:50.806
  • Over to demonic stuff. and this wasn't a mistake. this wasn't
  • 00:10:50.873 --> 00:10:53.375
  • Wasn't a mistake. this wasn't something that, you know, they
  • 00:10:53.442 --> 00:10:54.844
  • Something that, you know, they just were ignorant and that they
  • 00:10:54.910 --> 00:10:56.345
  • Just were ignorant and that they slipped into it and they, they
  • 00:10:56.412 --> 00:10:58.013
  • Slipped into it and they, they were deceived and didn't know
  • 00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.215
  • Were deceived and didn't know what they were doing. they had
  • 00:10:59.281 --> 00:11:00.549
  • What they were doing. they had totally rejected god. now, if
  • 00:11:00.616 --> 00:11:02.518
  • Totally rejected god. now, if you approach a person who
  • 00:11:02.585 --> 00:11:04.186
  • You approach a person who honestly doesn't know, you can
  • 00:11:04.253 --> 00:11:05.821
  • Honestly doesn't know, you can extend a mercy and a grace
  • 00:11:05.888 --> 00:11:07.356
  • Extend a mercy and a grace towards them. but when you see
  • 00:11:07.423 --> 00:11:09.258
  • Towards them. but when you see people that have intentionally
  • 00:11:09.325 --> 00:11:10.526
  • People that have intentionally hardened themselves and they are
  • 00:11:10.593 --> 00:11:12.194
  • Hardened themselves and they are anti-god, they hate god, they
  • 00:11:12.261 --> 00:11:14.897
  • Anti-god, they hate god, they are against everything that god
  • 00:11:14.964 --> 00:11:16.265
  • Are against everything that god is for, i'm not saying that you
  • 00:11:16.332 --> 00:11:17.933
  • Is for, i'm not saying that you still don't love them. they
  • 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.502
  • Still don't love them. they could be like the apostle paul
  • 00:11:19.568 --> 00:11:21.637
  • Could be like the apostle paul that, you know, actually
  • 00:11:21.704 --> 00:11:22.571
  • That, you know, actually persecuted people unto the point
  • 00:11:22.638 --> 00:11:24.340
  • Persecuted people unto the point of death and consented unto
  • 00:11:24.406 --> 00:11:26.275
  • Of death and consented unto stephen's death. and so they can
  • 00:11:26.342 --> 00:11:28.511
  • Stephen's death. and so they can still be converted, but i'm
  • 00:11:28.577 --> 00:11:30.012
  • Still be converted, but i'm saying that you, you cannot just
  • 00:11:30.079 --> 00:11:32.815
  • Saying that you, you cannot just be subtle. you cannot just sneak
  • 00:11:32.882 --> 00:11:35.317
  • Be subtle. you cannot just sneak up on people and drop a little
  • 00:11:35.384 --> 00:11:38.120
  • Up on people and drop a little hint there or get in your prayer
  • 00:11:38.187 --> 00:11:39.588
  • Hint there or get in your prayer closet and pray for them. people
  • 00:11:39.655 --> 00:11:40.923
  • Closet and pray for them. people need to be confronted with the
  • 00:11:40.990 --> 00:11:42.258
  • Need to be confronted with the truth. and this is one of the
  • 00:11:42.324 --> 00:11:45.161
  • Truth. and this is one of the things i just love about elijah.
  • 00:11:45.227 --> 00:11:46.896
  • Things i just love about elijah. this man was stronger than
  • 00:11:46.962 --> 00:11:48.631
  • This man was stronger than horseradish. i mean, this man,
  • 00:11:48.697 --> 00:11:51.033
  • Horseradish. i mean, this man, he would... he just approached
  • 00:11:51.100 --> 00:11:53.002
  • He would... he just approached the king. later we'll get into
  • 00:11:53.068 --> 00:11:54.436
  • The king. later we'll get into some of this. i'm not sure how
  • 00:11:54.503 --> 00:11:56.172
  • Some of this. i'm not sure how far i'll go because i'm not
  • 00:11:56.238 --> 00:11:56.872
  • Teaching this whole teaching on
  • 00:11:57.540 --> 00:11:59.575
  • Elijah. this, this whole book
  • 00:11:59.575 --> 00:12:01.644
  • Goes through the entire life of
  • 00:12:01.644 --> 00:12:03.512
  • Elijah, and elijah is one of the
  • 00:12:03.512 --> 00:12:05.314
  • Greatest prophets in the old
  • 00:12:05.314 --> 00:12:07.516
  • Testament. and elijah was just
  • 00:12:07.516 --> 00:12:09.451
  • Bold, and he confronted the
  • 00:12:09.518 --> 00:12:11.120
  • Bold, and he confronted the king. he confronted all of these
  • 00:12:11.187 --> 00:12:12.755
  • King. he confronted all of these prophets of baal. and he said if
  • 00:12:12.822 --> 00:12:15.291
  • Prophets of baal. and he said if god is god, well then let, let
  • 00:12:15.357 --> 00:12:17.827
  • God is god, well then let, let him show himself, and he put god
  • 00:12:17.893 --> 00:12:20.362
  • Him show himself, and he put god to the test. we need more
  • 00:12:20.429 --> 00:12:22.064
  • To the test. we need more ministers like that today that
  • 00:12:22.131 --> 00:12:23.666
  • Ministers like that today that will say, look, i'm not just
  • 00:12:23.732 --> 00:12:25.935
  • Will say, look, i'm not just preaching that jesus is real and
  • 00:12:26.001 --> 00:12:28.370
  • Preaching that jesus is real and that he's alive, i can
  • 00:12:28.437 --> 00:12:29.305
  • That he's alive, i can demonstrate it. here, let me lay
  • 00:12:29.371 --> 00:12:30.906
  • Demonstrate it. here, let me lay hands on you and pray for you
  • 00:12:30.973 --> 00:12:32.274
  • Hands on you and pray for you and see healing come, and things
  • 00:12:32.341 --> 00:12:34.343
  • And see healing come, and things like that. we need people that
  • 00:12:34.410 --> 00:12:35.477
  • Like that. we need people that are bold and speaking the word
  • 00:12:35.544 --> 00:12:37.713
  • Are bold and speaking the word of god and backing it up with
  • 00:12:37.780 --> 00:12:39.215
  • Of god and backing it up with actions. and this is what i like
  • 00:12:39.281 --> 00:12:41.550
  • Actions. and this is what i like about elijah. he, he had no
  • 00:12:41.617 --> 00:12:43.652
  • About elijah. he, he had no prior relationship with the
  • 00:12:43.719 --> 00:12:45.654
  • Prior relationship with the king. it's possible that
  • 00:12:45.721 --> 00:12:47.022
  • King. it's possible that something could've happened, but
  • 00:12:47.089 --> 00:12:48.324
  • Something could've happened, but it's not recorded in scripture.
  • 00:12:48.390 --> 00:12:50.226
  • It's not recorded in scripture. i personally don't believe there
  • 00:12:50.292 --> 00:12:51.694
  • I personally don't believe there was a previous relationship with
  • 00:12:51.760 --> 00:12:54.697
  • Was a previous relationship with the king because the king was
  • 00:12:54.763 --> 00:12:56.131
  • The king because the king was killing any person who claimed
  • 00:12:56.198 --> 00:12:58.167
  • Killing any person who claimed to be a prophet, a preacher for
  • 00:12:58.234 --> 00:13:00.336
  • To be a prophet, a preacher for the lord. and so, if elijah
  • 00:13:00.402 --> 00:13:02.538
  • The lord. and so, if elijah would've been known to the king,
  • 00:13:02.605 --> 00:13:03.806
  • Would've been known to the king, he would've been killed. i mean,
  • 00:13:03.873 --> 00:13:05.908
  • He would've been killed. i mean, most people were hiding. most
  • 00:13:05.975 --> 00:13:07.443
  • Most people were hiding. most people were running from these
  • 00:13:07.509 --> 00:13:08.744
  • People were running from these people. elijah walks right up to
  • 00:13:08.811 --> 00:13:11.447
  • People. elijah walks right up to him, and he says, thus saith the
  • 00:13:11.513 --> 00:13:13.015
  • Him, and he says, thus saith the lord god of israel. and again,
  • 00:13:13.082 --> 00:13:15.651
  • Lord god of israel. and again, we miss that sometimes because
  • 00:13:15.718 --> 00:13:17.486
  • We miss that sometimes because we don't put ourself into this
  • 00:13:17.553 --> 00:13:19.088
  • We don't put ourself into this real context of, of what was
  • 00:13:19.154 --> 00:13:21.290
  • Real context of, of what was being said. but ahab and jezebel
  • 00:13:21.357 --> 00:13:24.660
  • Being said. but ahab and jezebel hated god, killed anybody who
  • 00:13:24.727 --> 00:13:26.795
  • Hated god, killed anybody who cl... proclaimed that jehovah
  • 00:13:26.862 --> 00:13:29.765
  • Cl... proclaimed that jehovah the god of israel, was the true
  • 00:13:29.832 --> 00:13:31.433
  • The god of israel, was the true god. they were killing them. and
  • 00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:33.302
  • God. they were killing them. and he walks right up to the very
  • 00:13:33.369 --> 00:13:34.703
  • He walks right up to the very man who is sworn to kill him,
  • 00:13:34.770 --> 00:13:36.805
  • Man who is sworn to kill him, and he says, thus saith the lord
  • 00:13:36.872 --> 00:13:38.540
  • And he says, thus saith the lord god of israel. man, i love that.
  • 00:13:38.607 --> 00:13:41.477
  • God of israel. man, i love that. i could, i could just keep
  • 00:13:41.543 --> 00:13:43.245
  • I could, i could just keep talking about that for a long
  • 00:13:43.312 --> 00:13:44.613
  • Talking about that for a long time. i want to get on to some
  • 00:13:44.680 --> 00:13:45.748
  • Time. i want to get on to some other things, but it certainly
  • 00:13:45.814 --> 00:13:48.784
  • Other things, but it certainly is noteworthy that we can't just
  • 00:13:48.851 --> 00:13:50.386
  • Is noteworthy that we can't just skip over this and forget. if we
  • 00:13:50.452 --> 00:13:52.755
  • Skip over this and forget. if we want to get the results that
  • 00:13:52.821 --> 00:13:54.890
  • Want to get the results that elijah saw where he could call
  • 00:13:54.957 --> 00:13:56.558
  • Elijah saw where he could call fire down out of heaven. he
  • 00:13:56.625 --> 00:13:57.993
  • Fire down out of heaven. he outran a chariot in 20 miles. he
  • 00:13:58.060 --> 00:14:00.296
  • Outran a chariot in 20 miles. he ended a drought, and he did all
  • 00:14:00.362 --> 00:14:02.731
  • Ended a drought, and he did all of these things. he saw a person
  • 00:14:02.798 --> 00:14:04.733
  • Of these things. he saw a person raised from the dead right here
  • 00:14:04.800 --> 00:14:06.068
  • Raised from the dead right here in this 17th chapter of 1 kings.
  • 00:14:06.135 --> 00:14:08.537
  • In this 17th chapter of 1 kings. if you want that kind of
  • 00:14:08.604 --> 00:14:09.772
  • If you want that kind of results, you aren't going to get
  • 00:14:09.838 --> 00:14:11.407
  • Results, you aren't going to get that being afraid and operating
  • 00:14:11.473 --> 00:14:13.742
  • That being afraid and operating in fear and not standing up and
  • 00:14:13.809 --> 00:14:17.112
  • In fear and not standing up and speaking truth. man, that's a
  • 00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:20.516
  • Speaking truth. man, that's a powerful statement. and there
  • 00:14:20.582 --> 00:14:22.418
  • Powerful statement. and there are some of you, i love you, i'm
  • 00:14:22.484 --> 00:14:23.852
  • Are some of you, i love you, i'm telling you the truth, not to
  • 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:25.187
  • Telling you the truth, not to hurt you, but to help you. but
  • 00:14:25.254 --> 00:14:26.255
  • Hurt you, but to help you. but there are some of you that would
  • 00:14:26.322 --> 00:14:27.356
  • There are some of you that would love to see somebody raised from
  • 00:14:27.423 --> 00:14:29.391
  • Love to see somebody raised from the dead. you would love to see
  • 00:14:29.458 --> 00:14:31.126
  • The dead. you would love to see food multiplied the way that
  • 00:14:31.193 --> 00:14:32.761
  • Food multiplied the way that elijah did. you would love to
  • 00:14:32.828 --> 00:14:34.229
  • Elijah did. you would love to see all of these great
  • 00:14:34.296 --> 00:14:35.397
  • See all of these great demonstrations and you've prayed
  • 00:14:35.464 --> 00:14:36.899
  • Demonstrations and you've prayed for those kind of things, but
  • 00:14:36.966 --> 00:14:38.334
  • For those kind of things, but you won't stand up against
  • 00:14:38.400 --> 00:14:39.735
  • You won't stand up against anything. at work people will
  • 00:14:39.802 --> 00:14:41.971
  • Anything. at work people will sit there and start speaking
  • 00:14:42.037 --> 00:14:43.572
  • Sit there and start speaking about all kinds of ungodliness
  • 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:45.741
  • About all kinds of ungodliness and doing things, and you can
  • 00:14:45.808 --> 00:14:47.843
  • And doing things, and you can blend right in. you don't say
  • 00:14:47.910 --> 00:14:49.678
  • Blend right in. you don't say anything. people, if you were
  • 00:14:49.745 --> 00:14:51.613
  • Anything. people, if you were arrested for being a christian,
  • 00:14:51.680 --> 00:14:53.115
  • Arrested for being a christian, if you were called out for being
  • 00:14:53.182 --> 00:14:54.316
  • If you were called out for being a christian, there's many of you
  • 00:14:54.383 --> 00:14:55.617
  • A christian, there's many of you that there wouldn't be enough
  • 00:14:55.684 --> 00:14:56.618
  • That there wouldn't be enough evidence to convict you. again,
  • 00:14:56.685 --> 00:14:58.854
  • Evidence to convict you. again, i'm not saying that to hurt you,
  • 00:14:58.921 --> 00:15:00.055
  • I'm not saying that to hurt you, i'm saying it to enlighten you.
  • 00:15:00.122 --> 00:15:01.323
  • I'm saying it to enlighten you. how can you want the results
  • 00:15:01.390 --> 00:15:02.992
  • How can you want the results that elijah gets without having
  • 00:15:03.058 --> 00:15:05.694
  • That elijah gets without having the boldness and the faith and
  • 00:15:05.761 --> 00:15:07.796
  • The boldness and the faith and the confidence that elijah had?
  • 00:15:07.863 --> 00:15:10.132
  • The confidence that elijah had? it doesn't work that way. people
  • 00:15:10.199 --> 00:15:12.234
  • It doesn't work that way. people come to me all the time and they
  • 00:15:12.301 --> 00:15:13.702
  • Come to me all the time and they see god's blessing on me, and
  • 00:15:13.769 --> 00:15:15.337
  • See god's blessing on me, and they see the way that god has
  • 00:15:15.404 --> 00:15:16.638
  • They see the way that god has supplied needs and has done
  • 00:15:16.705 --> 00:15:18.107
  • Supplied needs and has done things. and i've seen my son
  • 00:15:18.173 --> 00:15:19.842
  • Things. and i've seen my son raised from the dead, my wife
  • 00:15:19.908 --> 00:15:21.310
  • Raised from the dead, my wife raised from the dead, and
  • 00:15:21.377 --> 00:15:22.878
  • Raised from the dead, and they... i've seen great things
  • 00:15:22.945 --> 00:15:24.146
  • They... i've seen great things and people say, oh man, i want
  • 00:15:24.213 --> 00:15:25.614
  • And people say, oh man, i want that. well, are you wanting to
  • 00:15:25.681 --> 00:15:27.483
  • That. well, are you wanting to do what i've done? and i
  • 00:15:27.549 --> 00:15:29.018
  • Do what i've done? and i guarantee you, it's taken a lot
  • 00:15:29.084 --> 00:15:30.686
  • Guarantee you, it's taken a lot of years and i've gone through a
  • 00:15:30.753 --> 00:15:32.588
  • Of years and i've gone through a lot of rejection, a lot of
  • 00:15:32.654 --> 00:15:34.056
  • Lot of rejection, a lot of criticism. you know, i just
  • 00:15:34.123 --> 00:15:36.025
  • Criticism. you know, i just wrote a guy today and he's in
  • 00:15:36.091 --> 00:15:38.627
  • Wrote a guy today and he's in the process of building a
  • 00:15:38.694 --> 00:15:39.895
  • The process of building a building and i need buildings
  • 00:15:39.962 --> 00:15:41.463
  • Building and i need buildings built. and so, i've learned that
  • 00:15:41.530 --> 00:15:43.432
  • Built. and so, i've learned that you sow where you want to go.
  • 00:15:43.499 --> 00:15:45.567
  • You sow where you want to go. and if you sow corn, you get
  • 00:15:45.634 --> 00:15:47.269
  • And if you sow corn, you get corn. if you sow okra, you get
  • 00:15:47.336 --> 00:15:48.971
  • Corn. if you sow okra, you get okra. so if you sow building
  • 00:15:49.038 --> 00:15:50.839
  • Okra. so if you sow building seed, if you sow money into a
  • 00:15:50.906 --> 00:15:52.508
  • Seed, if you sow money into a building, i'm going to reap
  • 00:15:52.574 --> 00:15:54.176
  • Building, i'm going to reap building seed back. so, i just
  • 00:15:54.243 --> 00:15:56.512
  • Building seed back. so, i just wrote this guy today and told
  • 00:15:56.578 --> 00:15:57.746
  • Wrote this guy today and told him i was going to sup... start
  • 00:15:57.813 --> 00:15:59.048
  • Him i was going to sup... start supporting his building program
  • 00:15:59.114 --> 00:16:01.617
  • Supporting his building program on a monthly basis. and i said,
  • 00:16:01.683 --> 00:16:03.652
  • On a monthly basis. and i said, i'm going to claim it back one
  • 00:16:03.719 --> 00:16:05.154
  • I'm going to claim it back one hundredfold in this life.
  • 00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:07.256
  • And i quoted mark chapter
  • 00:16:07.322 --> 00:16:08.891
  • And i quoted mark chapter 10, verse 30, where jesus
  • 00:16:08.957 --> 00:16:10.392
  • 10, verse 30, where jesus said, there is no man
  • 00:16:10.459 --> 00:16:11.360
  • Said, there is no man that has left house, father,
  • 00:16:11.427 --> 00:16:13.262
  • That has left house, father, mother, brother, sister,
  • 00:16:13.328 --> 00:16:14.396
  • Mother, brother, sister, lands for my sake, but what he
  • 00:16:14.463 --> 00:16:16.398
  • Lands for my sake, but what he will receive a hundredfold in
  • 00:16:16.465 --> 00:16:18.767
  • Will receive a hundredfold in this life, with persecutions.
  • 00:16:18.834 --> 00:16:21.970
  • Most people will quote that
  • 00:16:22.037 --> 00:16:23.072
  • Most people will quote that verse and leave off the
  • 00:16:23.138 --> 00:16:24.206
  • Verse and leave off the persecutions part. they want to
  • 00:16:24.273 --> 00:16:25.674
  • Persecutions part. they want to receive the hundredfold, but
  • 00:16:25.741 --> 00:16:27.709
  • Receive the hundredfold, but they don't want to receive the
  • 00:16:27.776 --> 00:16:28.710
  • They don't want to receive the persecutions. so when i wrote
  • 00:16:28.777 --> 00:16:30.612
  • Persecutions. so when i wrote this guy a note today and told
  • 00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:32.247
  • This guy a note today and told him i was going to support him,
  • 00:16:32.314 --> 00:16:33.282
  • Him i was going to support him, i quoted that verse and i said,
  • 00:16:33.348 --> 00:16:34.883
  • I quoted that verse and i said, with persecutions. in the next
  • 00:16:34.950 --> 00:16:37.619
  • With persecutions. in the next sentence i said, i, i'd just
  • 00:16:37.686 --> 00:16:39.388
  • Sentence i said, i, i'd just assume do without the
  • 00:16:39.455 --> 00:16:40.355
  • Assume do without the persecutions but you know that's
  • 00:16:40.422 --> 00:16:41.757
  • Persecutions but you know that's part of what it is and god will
  • 00:16:41.824 --> 00:16:43.325
  • Part of what it is and god will give me the grace to be able to
  • 00:16:43.392 --> 00:16:45.394
  • Give me the grace to be able to handle it. so what i'm saying is
  • 00:16:45.461 --> 00:16:47.229
  • Handle it. so what i'm saying is see some people want bits and
  • 00:16:47.296 --> 00:16:49.098
  • See some people want bits and pieces. they cherry-pick truth
  • 00:16:49.164 --> 00:16:51.600
  • Pieces. they cherry-pick truth and say, oh yeah, i want this. i
  • 00:16:51.667 --> 00:16:53.469
  • And say, oh yeah, i want this. i want the results that elijah
  • 00:16:53.535 --> 00:16:55.604
  • Want the results that elijah got, but you aren't going to
  • 00:16:55.671 --> 00:16:57.072
  • Got, but you aren't going to stand up and speak the word.
  • 00:16:57.139 --> 00:16:59.108
  • Stand up and speak the word. did you know when elijah
  • 00:16:59.174 --> 00:17:00.742
  • Did you know when elijah said, look at this again
  • 00:17:00.809 --> 00:17:02.010
  • In chapter 17, verse 1,
  • 00:17:02.077 --> 00:17:04.346
  • In chapter 17, verse 1, he says, as the lord god
  • 00:17:04.413 --> 00:17:05.781
  • He says, as the lord god of israel liveth, before whom
  • 00:17:05.848 --> 00:17:07.549
  • Of israel liveth, before whom i stand, there shall not be
  • 00:17:07.616 --> 00:17:09.651
  • I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but
  • 00:17:09.718 --> 00:17:12.354
  • Dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
  • 00:17:12.421 --> 00:17:15.424
  • Where did he get that from?
  • 00:17:15.491 --> 00:17:17.359
  • Where did he get that from? you know, there's a
  • 00:17:17.426 --> 00:17:17.960
  • You know, there's a lot of people that just
  • 00:17:18.026 --> 00:17:18.827
  • Lot of people that just think, well, god just
  • 00:17:18.894 --> 00:17:20.629
  • Think, well, god just supernaturally spoke to him. and
  • 00:17:20.696 --> 00:17:22.097
  • Supernaturally spoke to him. and i don't know exactly how you'll
  • 00:17:22.164 --> 00:17:23.632
  • I don't know exactly how you'll receive this, but let me show
  • 00:17:23.699 --> 00:17:24.933
  • Receive this, but let me show you this out of deuteronomy, in
  • 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.136
  • You this out of deuteronomy, in chapter 11, and in verse 16,
  • 00:17:27.202 --> 00:17:31.006
  • Chapter 11, and in verse 16, this is moses speaking and he
  • 00:17:31.073 --> 00:17:32.674
  • This is moses speaking and he was warning the children of
  • 00:17:32.741 --> 00:17:33.942
  • Was warning the children of israel. he had told them, he
  • 00:17:34.009 --> 00:17:34.977
  • Israel. he had told them, he says, i know that after i die,
  • 00:17:35.043 --> 00:17:36.979
  • Says, i know that after i die, you're going to go astray from
  • 00:17:37.045 --> 00:17:38.213
  • You're going to go astray from the lord and you are going to
  • 00:17:38.280 --> 00:17:39.815
  • The lord and you are going to depart from the lord and things
  • 00:17:39.882 --> 00:17:41.350
  • Depart from the lord and things aren't going to go good
  • 00:17:41.416 --> 00:17:42.117
  • Aren't going to go good for you, and that's what
  • 00:17:42.184 --> 00:17:43.018
  • For you, and that's what he's prophesying about.
  • 00:17:43.085 --> 00:17:43.986
  • So in verse 16, he says, take
  • 00:17:44.052 --> 00:17:45.854
  • So in verse 16, he says, take heed to yourselves, that
  • 00:17:45.921 --> 00:17:47.789
  • Heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and
  • 00:17:47.856 --> 00:17:49.858
  • Your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other
  • 00:17:49.925 --> 00:17:51.793
  • You turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; and then
  • 00:17:51.860 --> 00:17:53.562
  • Gods, and worship them; and then the lord's wrath be kindled
  • 00:17:53.629 --> 00:17:55.030
  • The lord's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the
  • 00:17:55.097 --> 00:17:57.399
  • Against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain,
  • 00:17:57.466 --> 00:17:59.034
  • Heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her
  • 00:17:59.101 --> 00:18:00.702
  • And that the land yield not her fruit; and lest you perish
  • 00:18:00.769 --> 00:18:02.971
  • Fruit; and lest you perish quickly from off the good land
  • 00:18:03.038 --> 00:18:04.706
  • Quickly from off the good land which the lord giveth you. did
  • 00:18:04.773 --> 00:18:06.775
  • You know that that was a
  • 00:18:06.842 --> 00:18:07.509
  • You know that that was a prophecy? moses said this would
  • 00:18:07.576 --> 00:18:09.444
  • Prophecy? moses said this would happen if you turn away from the
  • 00:18:09.511 --> 00:18:10.846
  • Happen if you turn away from the lord. well, israel under the
  • 00:18:10.913 --> 00:18:12.881
  • Lord. well, israel under the leadership of ahab and jezebel
  • 00:18:12.948 --> 00:18:15.284
  • Leadership of ahab and jezebel had turned away from the lord.
  • 00:18:15.350 --> 00:18:16.919
  • Had turned away from the lord. all elijah was doing was taking
  • 00:18:16.985 --> 00:18:19.955
  • All elijah was doing was taking what the word of god said and
  • 00:18:20.022 --> 00:18:22.524
  • What the word of god said and just applying it to the
  • 00:18:22.591 --> 00:18:23.992
  • Just applying it to the situation. when you start
  • 00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:25.794
  • Situation. when you start killing anybody who proclaims
  • 00:18:25.861 --> 00:18:27.763
  • Killing anybody who proclaims the lord god of israel and you
  • 00:18:27.829 --> 00:18:29.865
  • The lord god of israel and you kill them and you start feeding
  • 00:18:29.932 --> 00:18:32.201
  • Kill them and you start feeding 850 prophets of baal on a daily
  • 00:18:32.267 --> 00:18:35.504
  • 850 prophets of baal on a daily basis and make it a church...
  • 00:18:35.571 --> 00:18:37.472
  • Basis and make it a church... state sponsored religion, i, i
  • 00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:40.576
  • State sponsored religion, i, i would say that's departing from
  • 00:18:40.642 --> 00:18:42.544
  • Would say that's departing from the lord. and so this was
  • 00:18:42.611 --> 00:18:44.279
  • The lord. and so this was prophesied that it was happened.
  • 00:18:44.346 --> 00:18:45.781
  • Prophesied that it was happened. and this may be as simple as
  • 00:18:45.847 --> 00:18:47.916
  • And this may be as simple as elijah just believed the word of
  • 00:18:47.983 --> 00:18:50.285
  • Elijah just believed the word of god and put into effect what
  • 00:18:50.352 --> 00:18:52.854
  • God and put into effect what god's word said would come to
  • 00:18:52.921 --> 00:18:55.224
  • God's word said would come to pass. now the lord does use
  • 00:18:55.290 --> 00:18:57.826
  • Pass. now the lord does use people, and he speaks
  • 00:18:57.893 --> 00:18:58.927
  • People, and he speaks through people and there's
  • 00:18:58.994 --> 00:18:59.895
  • A scripture that says
  • 00:18:59.962 --> 00:19:00.963
  • A scripture that says that the lord will do nothing,
  • 00:19:01.029 --> 00:19:02.331
  • That the lord will do nothing, except he reveal it to his
  • 00:19:02.397 --> 00:19:04.333
  • Except he reveal it to his servants the prophets. and
  • 00:19:04.399 --> 00:19:06.068
  • So, it probably needed somebody
  • 00:19:06.134 --> 00:19:09.204
  • So, it probably needed somebody to take what was written in the
  • 00:19:09.271 --> 00:19:11.039
  • To take what was written in the word of god and execute it by
  • 00:19:11.106 --> 00:19:13.308
  • Word of god and execute it by speaking it and boldly
  • 00:19:13.375 --> 00:19:15.010
  • Speaking it and boldly proclaiming it. the power of god
  • 00:19:15.077 --> 00:19:17.346
  • Proclaiming it. the power of god is voice activated. so, elijah
  • 00:19:17.412 --> 00:19:20.082
  • Is voice activated. so, elijah just didn't come up with this on
  • 00:19:20.148 --> 00:19:21.516
  • Just didn't come up with this on his own. this was something that
  • 00:19:21.583 --> 00:19:23.051
  • His own. this was something that god inspired him to do. god
  • 00:19:23.118 --> 00:19:25.087
  • God inspired him to do. god spoke to him. but let me also
  • 00:19:25.153 --> 00:19:27.256
  • Spoke to him. but let me also point out that if god would've
  • 00:19:27.322 --> 00:19:28.590
  • Point out that if god would've spoken to him and if he would've
  • 00:19:28.657 --> 00:19:30.292
  • Spoken to him and if he would've stayed in his closet and had
  • 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.262
  • Stayed in his closet and had just prayed for the drought to
  • 00:19:33.328 --> 00:19:35.264
  • Just prayed for the drought to come, for deuteronomy, chapter
  • 00:19:35.330 --> 00:19:37.499
  • Come, for deuteronomy, chapter 11, verses 16 and 17, to be
  • 00:19:37.566 --> 00:19:40.235
  • 11, verses 16 and 17, to be executed on the nation, and if
  • 00:19:40.302 --> 00:19:43.505
  • Executed on the nation, and if the drought had happened and
  • 00:19:43.572 --> 00:19:45.874
  • The drought had happened and then three and a half years
  • 00:19:45.941 --> 00:19:47.175
  • Then three and a half years later, elijah stand up and say,
  • 00:19:47.242 --> 00:19:49.945
  • Later, elijah stand up and say, i'm the one who caused this. i
  • 00:19:50.012 --> 00:19:51.446
  • I'm the one who caused this. i prayed for this. i took the word
  • 00:19:51.513 --> 00:19:53.148
  • Prayed for this. i took the word of god. i spoke it. did you know
  • 00:19:53.215 --> 00:19:54.950
  • Of god. i spoke it. did you know people would've discounted it.
  • 00:19:55.017 --> 00:19:56.151
  • People would've discounted it. they would've said, you're, you
  • 00:19:56.218 --> 00:19:57.519
  • They would've said, you're, you know, you didn't cause this.
  • 00:19:57.586 --> 00:19:59.221
  • Know, you didn't cause this. you're claiming something. it
  • 00:19:59.288 --> 00:20:01.223
  • You're claiming something. it wouldn't have had the impact
  • 00:20:01.290 --> 00:20:02.824
  • Wouldn't have had the impact that it had if he didn't stand
  • 00:20:02.891 --> 00:20:04.726
  • That it had if he didn't stand up and speak it. you know what?
  • 00:20:04.793 --> 00:20:06.728
  • Up and speak it. you know what? if you get a word from god,
  • 00:20:06.795 --> 00:20:09.031
  • If you get a word from god, you've got to speak it. and then
  • 00:20:09.097 --> 00:20:11.266
  • You've got to speak it. and then it may look like there is no
  • 00:20:11.333 --> 00:20:12.768
  • It may look like there is no chance of it ever coming to
  • 00:20:12.834 --> 00:20:13.969
  • Chance of it ever coming to pass. but then when it begins to
  • 00:20:14.036 --> 00:20:15.370
  • Pass. but then when it begins to happen, people will begin to
  • 00:20:15.437 --> 00:20:17.172
  • Happen, people will begin to recognize, that was god. you
  • 00:20:17.239 --> 00:20:19.441
  • Recognize, that was god. you know, i remember back in y2k. i
  • 00:20:19.508 --> 00:20:21.410
  • Know, i remember back in y2k. i don't know how many of you are
  • 00:20:21.476 --> 00:20:22.944
  • Don't know how many of you are old enough to remember that. but
  • 00:20:23.011 --> 00:20:24.946
  • Old enough to remember that. but the body of christ, there was
  • 00:20:25.013 --> 00:20:26.315
  • The body of christ, there was people saying this was the
  • 00:20:26.381 --> 00:20:27.482
  • People saying this was the beginning of the tribulation
  • 00:20:27.549 --> 00:20:29.017
  • Beginning of the tribulation period. i had a friend that was
  • 00:20:29.084 --> 00:20:30.886
  • Period. i had a friend that was actually selling guns, rifles,
  • 00:20:30.952 --> 00:20:33.922
  • Actually selling guns, rifles, in his church, food, survival
  • 00:20:33.989 --> 00:20:36.925
  • In his church, food, survival things, that it was going to be
  • 00:20:36.992 --> 00:20:38.327
  • Things, that it was going to be the tribulation period. and i
  • 00:20:38.393 --> 00:20:41.096
  • The tribulation period. and i mean, it was a big deal in the
  • 00:20:41.163 --> 00:20:43.565
  • Mean, it was a big deal in the body of christ. now outside of
  • 00:20:43.632 --> 00:20:45.133
  • Body of christ. now outside of christianity, the world didn't
  • 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.235
  • Christianity, the world didn't even hardly acknowledge it and
  • 00:20:47.302 --> 00:20:50.072
  • Even hardly acknowledge it and it... and i stood up two years
  • 00:20:50.138 --> 00:20:52.107
  • It... and i stood up two years before and i began to say, thus
  • 00:20:52.174 --> 00:20:55.043
  • Before and i began to say, thus saith the lord, this is a hoax.
  • 00:20:55.110 --> 00:20:56.678
  • Saith the lord, this is a hoax. it's not going to happen. and
  • 00:20:56.745 --> 00:20:58.447
  • It's not going to happen. and did you know people didn't
  • 00:20:58.513 --> 00:21:00.716
  • Did you know people didn't necessarily respond because
  • 00:21:00.782 --> 00:21:02.250
  • Necessarily respond because there were so many christian
  • 00:21:02.317 --> 00:21:03.385
  • There were so many christian leaders. i, i could make a
  • 00:21:03.452 --> 00:21:04.920
  • Leaders. i, i could make a bigger deal out of this than
  • 00:21:04.986 --> 00:21:06.054
  • Bigger deal out of this than what i am, but i mean many
  • 00:21:06.121 --> 00:21:08.123
  • What i am, but i mean many people in the body of christ
  • 00:21:08.190 --> 00:21:09.424
  • People in the body of christ were just proclaiming this was
  • 00:21:09.491 --> 00:21:10.959
  • Were just proclaiming this was going to be major deal. it was
  • 00:21:11.026 --> 00:21:12.694
  • Going to be major deal. it was going to change everything. and
  • 00:21:12.761 --> 00:21:14.663
  • Going to change everything. and i stood up two years in advance
  • 00:21:14.730 --> 00:21:16.365
  • I stood up two years in advance and said it's going to be a
  • 00:21:16.431 --> 00:21:17.232
  • And said it's going to be a non-event. and did you know when
  • 00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:20.736
  • Non-event. and did you know when y2k came and went and it didn't
  • 00:21:20.802 --> 00:21:23.638
  • Y2k came and went and it didn't change a thing, nothing
  • 00:21:23.705 --> 00:21:25.807
  • Change a thing, nothing happened. it was the biggest
  • 00:21:25.874 --> 00:21:27.442
  • Happened. it was the biggest non-event. it was the biggest
  • 00:21:27.509 --> 00:21:29.211
  • Non-event. it was the biggest hoax that the body of christ has
  • 00:21:29.277 --> 00:21:31.513
  • Hoax that the body of christ has ever endorsed. did you know that
  • 00:21:31.580 --> 00:21:33.448
  • Ever endorsed. did you know that our income just began to go up
  • 00:21:33.515 --> 00:21:35.784
  • Our income just began to go up exponentially. i mean we doubled
  • 00:21:35.851 --> 00:21:37.686
  • Exponentially. i mean we doubled in a short period of time. and i
  • 00:21:37.753 --> 00:21:39.488
  • In a short period of time. and i believe a lot of it is because i
  • 00:21:39.554 --> 00:21:41.656
  • Believe a lot of it is because i spoke it out two years in
  • 00:21:41.723 --> 00:21:43.692
  • Spoke it out two years in advance and countered things. i
  • 00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:45.560
  • Advance and countered things. i remember being on a radio
  • 00:21:45.627 --> 00:21:46.928
  • Remember being on a radio program in the dallas-fort worth
  • 00:21:46.995 --> 00:21:48.864
  • Program in the dallas-fort worth area and the guy was asking me
  • 00:21:48.930 --> 00:21:51.066
  • Area and the guy was asking me about all of this and i said i
  • 00:21:51.133 --> 00:21:52.501
  • About all of this and i said i don't believe it's real. and he
  • 00:21:52.567 --> 00:21:54.403
  • Don't believe it's real. and he got on my case, and i mean, on
  • 00:21:54.469 --> 00:21:57.639
  • Got on my case, and i mean, on radio, publicly he just began to
  • 00:21:57.706 --> 00:21:59.775
  • Radio, publicly he just began to say, you're, you're a false
  • 00:21:59.841 --> 00:22:01.309
  • Say, you're, you're a false prophet, and he blasted me. and
  • 00:22:01.376 --> 00:22:04.179
  • Prophet, and he blasted me. and i didn't have any way of proving
  • 00:22:04.246 --> 00:22:05.814
  • I didn't have any way of proving it at the time. but when y2k
  • 00:22:05.881 --> 00:22:08.250
  • It at the time. but when y2k came and went, 2000, january
  • 00:22:08.316 --> 00:22:10.852
  • Came and went, 2000, january 1st, 2000, all of a sudden
  • 00:22:10.919 --> 00:22:12.988
  • 1st, 2000, all of a sudden people began to start seeing and
  • 00:22:13.054 --> 00:22:14.456
  • People began to start seeing and people responded. see, that's
  • 00:22:14.523 --> 00:22:15.957
  • People responded. see, that's what happened with elijah here.
  • 00:22:16.024 --> 00:22:17.325
  • What happened with elijah here. if he would've just had god show
  • 00:22:17.392 --> 00:22:19.361
  • If he would've just had god show him this, and if he would've
  • 00:22:19.428 --> 00:22:20.362
  • Him this, and if he would've stayed in his closet and spoke
  • 00:22:20.429 --> 00:22:21.997
  • Stayed in his closet and spoke it, it wouldn't have had the
  • 00:22:22.063 --> 00:22:23.398
  • It, it wouldn't have had the impact that it did. and this is
  • 00:22:23.465 --> 00:22:25.066
  • Impact that it did. and this is what's happening with a lot of
  • 00:22:25.133 --> 00:22:26.234
  • What's happening with a lot of people today. they're sitting
  • 00:22:26.301 --> 00:22:27.936
  • People today. they're sitting here and they know that a lot of
  • 00:22:28.003 --> 00:22:29.404
  • Here and they know that a lot of the wokeness, a lot of the
  • 00:22:29.471 --> 00:22:30.939
  • The wokeness, a lot of the ungodliness that is being
  • 00:22:31.006 --> 00:22:32.441
  • Ungodliness that is being promoted in our culture is
  • 00:22:32.507 --> 00:22:35.444
  • Promoted in our culture is ungodly. they don't agree with
  • 00:22:35.510 --> 00:22:37.312
  • Ungodly. they don't agree with it, but they're going to stay in
  • 00:22:37.379 --> 00:22:38.280
  • It, but they're going to stay in their closet and just pray. they
  • 00:22:38.346 --> 00:22:39.714
  • Their closet and just pray. they will not stand up and speak the
  • 00:22:39.781 --> 00:22:41.917
  • Will not stand up and speak the truth. and they'll say but i'm
  • 00:22:41.983 --> 00:22:44.286
  • Truth. and they'll say but i'm just going to love people. there
  • 00:22:44.352 --> 00:22:45.654
  • Just going to love people. there is no scripture that says people
  • 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:47.122
  • Is no scripture that says people will be changed by love.
  • 00:22:47.189 --> 00:22:48.757
  • It says, you shall know
  • 00:22:48.824 --> 00:22:49.758
  • It says, you shall know the truth, and the truth
  • 00:22:49.825 --> 00:22:51.159
  • The truth, and the truth shall make you free.
  • 00:22:51.226 --> 00:22:52.127
  • Shall make you free. now it does say in ephesians
  • 00:22:52.194 --> 00:22:53.361
  • Now it does say in ephesians 4:15, you have to speak
  • 00:22:53.428 --> 00:22:54.796
  • 4:15, you have to speak the truth in love. so i'm
  • 00:22:54.863 --> 00:22:57.699
  • Not saying that we use the word
  • 00:22:57.766 --> 00:22:59.701
  • Not saying that we use the word of god like a club. but we do
  • 00:22:59.768 --> 00:23:02.237
  • Of god like a club. but we do have to speak the truth. we need
  • 00:23:02.304 --> 00:23:04.105
  • Have to speak the truth. we need to stand up, and man this is one
  • 00:23:04.172 --> 00:23:05.774
  • To stand up, and man this is one of the things i love about
  • 00:23:05.841 --> 00:23:06.975
  • Of the things i love about elijah. he inspires me to be
  • 00:23:07.042 --> 00:23:10.111
  • Elijah. he inspires me to be bolder in the things that
  • 00:23:10.178 --> 00:23:11.079
  • Bolder in the things that i'm doing. so, anyway,
  • 00:23:11.146 --> 00:23:11.947
  • All of this is introduction.
