This story because i believe it's a powerful lesson.
00:05:05.719 --> 00:05:08.555
It's a powerful lesson. you hear a lot in the media
00:05:08.622 --> 00:05:09.523
You hear a lot in the media today about controlling
00:05:09.590 --> 00:05:11.592
Today about controlling the narrative.
00:05:11.658 --> 00:05:12.393
The narrative. you hear it in politics,
00:05:12.459 --> 00:05:13.794

Even in controversies and crisis.
00:05:18.265 --> 00:05:19.700
And crisis. whoever controls the narrative,
00:05:19.767 --> 00:05:21.835
Whoever controls the narrative, controls the outcome.
00:05:21.902 --> 00:05:23.270
Controls the outcome. that's the thought.
00:05:23.337 --> 00:05:24.338
That's the thought. that's what people believe.
00:05:24.405 --> 00:05:26.306
That's what people believe. if you keep saying it,
00:05:26.373 --> 00:05:27.741
If you keep saying it, doesn't matter what
00:05:27.808 --> 00:05:28.475
Doesn't matter what the truth is,
00:05:28.542 --> 00:05:30.043
The truth is, just control the narrative,
00:05:30.110 --> 00:05:31.745
Just control the narrative, and you will control
00:05:31.812 --> 00:05:33.614
And you will control the outcome.
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:35.716
The outcome. and in this story,
00:05:35.783 --> 00:05:37.551
And in this story, it's like ben-hadad,
00:05:37.618 --> 00:05:40.387
It's like ben-hadad, this evil syrian king
00:05:40.454 --> 00:05:42.523
This evil syrian king and his army links up with
00:05:42.589 --> 00:05:44.458
And his army links up with 32 other kings because he had
00:05:44.525 --> 00:05:48.328
32 other kings because he had tried to conquer israel before.
00:05:48.395 --> 00:05:50.264
Tried to conquer israel before. you read it again and again,
00:05:50.330 --> 00:05:51.732
You read it again and again, and yet again it says
00:05:51.799 --> 00:05:53.167
And yet again it says and yet again,
00:05:53.233 --> 00:05:54.067
And yet again, they came against israel,
00:05:54.134 --> 00:05:56.336
They came against israel, and he couldn't defeat them.
00:05:56.403 --> 00:05:57.538
And he couldn't defeat them. but this time was different
00:05:57.604 --> 00:05:58.872
But this time was different because he hired 32
00:05:58.939 --> 00:06:00.707
Because he hired 32 different nations, their kings,
00:06:00.774 --> 00:06:03.277
Different nations, their kings, and their armies against
00:06:03.343 --> 00:06:05.045
And their armies against one group of farmers,
00:06:05.112 --> 00:06:09.950
One group of farmers, the israelites.
00:06:10.017 --> 00:06:11.585
The israelites. and it was because ben-hadad
00:06:11.652 --> 00:06:13.787
And it was because ben-hadad knew the power of their god
00:06:13.854 --> 00:06:16.890
Knew the power of their god and he thought,
00:06:16.957 --> 00:06:17.357
And he thought, "this time because
00:06:17.424 --> 00:06:18.425
"this time because i've got 32 kings and their
00:06:18.492 --> 00:06:20.427
I've got 32 kings and their armies plus my own army,
00:06:20.494 --> 00:06:22.496
Armies plus my own army, they do not have a chance.
00:06:22.563 --> 00:06:24.798
They do not have a chance. their back is against the wall,
00:06:24.865 --> 00:06:26.366
Their back is against the wall, i'm going to destroy them."
00:06:26.433 --> 00:06:28.035
I'm going to destroy them." the reason you face great
00:06:28.101 --> 00:06:29.803
The reason you face great resistance is because
00:06:29.870 --> 00:06:32.539
Resistance is because the devil knows who you are.
00:06:32.606 --> 00:06:35.309

00:06:45.152 --> 00:06:46.220
I believe demons know that we're here today.
00:06:46.286 --> 00:06:48.555
That we're here today. i believe that he's afraid

And you see no reason to keep hoping and keep believing.
00:07:36.670 --> 00:07:39.039
Hoping and keep believing. that's what the enemy
00:07:39.106 --> 00:07:40.040
That's what the enemy wants to do.
00:07:40.107 --> 00:07:41.875
Wants to do. ahab had his back

Of negotiating a surrender. and everything the enemy

Would say is, "i don't surrender.

Life is disaster and kill, steal, and destroy

Steal, and destroy according to john 10:10.
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.108
According to john 10:10. that's all he's after.
00:08:48.175 --> 00:08:49.476
That's all he's after. it may be pleasure for a moment,
00:08:49.543 --> 00:08:52.212
It may be pleasure for a moment, but ultimately, he comes to
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:54.181
But ultimately, he comes to kill, steal, and destroy.
00:08:54.247 --> 00:08:57.751
Kill, steal, and destroy. that's hell's agenda.
00:08:57.818 --> 00:09:00.153
That's hell's agenda. the devil keeps pushing
00:09:00.220 --> 00:09:01.922
The devil keeps pushing for more, and more.
00:09:01.989 --> 00:09:03.790
For more, and more. "i want every precious

Everything you like." and there's that moment
00:09:16.003 --> 00:09:17.671
And there's that moment when the elders spoke
00:09:17.738 --> 00:09:19.906
When the elders spoke to ahab with such
00:09:19.973 --> 00:09:21.308
To ahab with such authority that they said,
00:09:21.375 --> 00:09:22.876
Authority that they said, "don't consent."

Haven't stood up." and there comes that
00:09:31.018 --> 00:09:31.918
And there comes that moment when the whole narrative
00:09:31.985 --> 00:09:34.021
Moment when the whole narrative of the story changes because
00:09:34.087 --> 00:09:36.023
Of the story changes because if you change the narrative,
00:09:36.089 --> 00:09:37.624
If you change the narrative, you change the outcome.
00:09:37.691 --> 00:09:41.094
You change the outcome. so many of us just sit back
00:09:41.161 --> 00:09:42.729
So many of us just sit back and let the enemy attack,
00:09:42.796 --> 00:09:44.164
And let the enemy attack, and we think we are helpless,
00:09:44.231 --> 00:09:45.565
And we think we are helpless, and that's just how it goes,
00:09:45.632 --> 00:09:46.967
And that's just how it goes, and we don't have any say so.

One hundred and sixteen times jesus said,
00:10:19.466 --> 00:10:21.001
Times jesus said, "but i say unto you."
00:10:21.068 --> 00:10:24.571
"but i say unto you." he knew when he came
00:10:24.638 --> 00:10:25.572
He knew when he came into the world, the devil
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:26.940
Into the world, the devil in the garden of eden
00:10:27.007 --> 00:10:28.308
In the garden of eden had captured the narrative
00:10:28.375 --> 00:10:30.077
Had captured the narrative and he was in control
00:10:30.143 --> 00:10:31.978
And he was in control and he said, "death,"
00:10:32.045 --> 00:10:33.346
And he said, "death," he said, "steal,"
00:10:33.413 --> 00:10:34.381
He said, "steal," he said, "kill," and man was --
00:10:34.448 --> 00:10:36.850
He said, "kill," and man was -- just had to go along.
00:10:36.917 --> 00:10:38.051
Just had to go along. but jesus said, "i am here now,
00:10:38.118 --> 00:10:40.821
But jesus said, "i am here now, and the word has become flesh
00:10:40.887 --> 00:10:43.857
And the word has become flesh and i'm dwelling among you."
00:10:43.924 --> 00:10:45.325
And i'm dwelling among you." and the enemy says
00:10:45.392 --> 00:10:46.727
And the enemy says you're defeated and you're --
00:10:46.793 --> 00:10:49.629
You're defeated and you're -- and you don't have a hope
00:10:49.696 --> 00:10:50.597

You're watching me on television and the enemy said,

Television and the enemy said, "i want your gold

And then, he's going through saying,
00:12:18.785 --> 00:12:19.386
Through saying, "i'm gon' take the pleasure
00:12:19.452 --> 00:12:20.587
"i'm gon' take the pleasure and the joy out of life,
00:12:20.654 --> 00:12:22.255
And the joy out of life, i'm gonna make you

The wrong program. [applause]
00:12:48.381 --> 00:12:49.916
[applause] because the prophet showed up
00:12:49.983 --> 00:12:51.685
Because the prophet showed up with a word from the lord
00:12:51.751 --> 00:12:53.119
With a word from the lord in the text that i read,
00:12:53.186 --> 00:12:55.522
In the text that i read, and that word is still alive
00:12:55.589 --> 00:12:57.924

I like what ahab -- something hit him.
00:13:13.573 --> 00:13:15.342
Something hit him. something came all over him.
00:13:15.408 --> 00:13:16.843
Something came all over him. you know, there's two kinds
00:13:16.910 --> 00:13:17.978
You know, there's two kinds of fighters.
00:13:18.044 --> 00:13:18.612
Of fighters. there's, like, people who train
00:13:18.678 --> 00:13:20.146
There's, like, people who train and they do mma, and judo,
00:13:20.213 --> 00:13:23.550
And they do mma, and judo, and karate, and they are ready.
00:13:23.617 --> 00:13:26.786
And karate, and they are ready. i mean, they are planned.
00:13:26.853 --> 00:13:27.988
I mean, they are planned. they've been waiting on this
00:13:28.054 --> 00:13:28.855
They've been waiting on this day their whole life.
00:13:28.922 --> 00:13:29.823
Day their whole life. they go into kung fu mode
00:13:29.890 --> 00:13:32.092
They go into kung fu mode and they're ready to go.

And they're ready to go. and then, there's those

And then, there's those people who they don't
00:13:34.628 --> 00:13:36.930
People who they don't work out much, they --
00:13:36.997 --> 00:13:38.899
Work out much, they -- but if you don't watch it,
00:13:38.965 --> 00:13:42.269
But if you don't watch it, sometimes you can catch 'em
00:13:42.335 --> 00:13:43.770
Sometimes you can catch 'em on the wrong day.
00:13:43.837 --> 00:13:44.971
On the wrong day. i'm one of those people.
00:13:45.038 --> 00:13:47.274
I'm one of those people. i will run any day.

But there are days -- i don't even wanna
00:13:56.283 --> 00:13:58.285
I don't even wanna tell the story that
00:13:58.351 --> 00:13:59.052
Tell the story that keeps coming to my mind.
00:13:59.119 --> 00:14:00.453
Keeps coming to my mind. but when my little boy, drake,
00:14:00.520 --> 00:14:01.521
But when my little boy, drake, was about that big and he was

A man out on the field that was on the other team,

Was on the other team, and he grabbed my son
00:14:09.963 --> 00:14:11.631
And he grabbed my son and jerked him and shook him
00:14:11.698 --> 00:14:14.601
And jerked him and shook him like that by his shoulder pads,
00:14:14.668 --> 00:14:16.202
Like that by his shoulder pads, and he wasn't his coach.
00:14:16.269 --> 00:14:17.704
And he wasn't his coach. he's just shaking him.
00:14:17.771 --> 00:14:19.139
He's just shaking him. something came over me.

I jumped over the fence. it was like slow motion.
00:14:24.911 --> 00:14:26.279
It was like slow motion. i was running through the field,
00:14:26.346 --> 00:14:29.382
I was running through the field, "get your hands off my boy!"
00:14:29.449 --> 00:14:36.222
"get your hands off my boy!" and thank god one of our members
00:14:36.289 --> 00:14:38.525

00:14:40.860 --> 00:14:42.128
And he ran across and grabbed me and said,
00:14:42.195 --> 00:14:43.563
And grabbed me and said, "hold on, pastor."
00:14:43.630 --> 00:14:45.065

And i snapped back to who i am.
00:14:48.101 --> 00:14:51.738
To who i am. we were gon' fight.
00:14:51.805 --> 00:14:52.439
We were gon' fight. it was going down
00:14:52.505 --> 00:14:53.807
It was going down right there on that field.
00:14:53.873 --> 00:14:55.608
Right there on that field. and that's how we ought
00:14:55.675 --> 00:14:56.876
And that's how we ought to feel when the enemy says,
00:14:56.943 --> 00:14:59.279
To feel when the enemy says, "i'm gonna destroy your
00:14:59.346 --> 00:15:00.814
"i'm gonna destroy your children and your family."
00:15:00.880 --> 00:15:03.550
Children and your family." because this battle

So now you got a decision. are you gonna let hell

Are you gonna let hell control the narrative?
00:15:41.788 --> 00:15:43.757
Control the narrative? because hell is gonna
00:15:43.823 --> 00:15:44.424
Because hell is gonna tell you what to say.
00:15:44.491 --> 00:15:46.593
Tell you what to say. "just give up.
00:15:46.659 --> 00:15:48.228

Just know there's no hope, and people die."
00:15:51.931 --> 00:15:53.166
And people die." and so, god doesn't
00:15:53.233 --> 00:15:54.834
And so, god doesn't heal anymore,
00:15:54.901 --> 00:15:55.835

So just give up." or you can say,
00:16:01.541 --> 00:16:03.276
Or you can say, "devil, you cannot
00:16:03.343 --> 00:16:04.611
"devil, you cannot threaten me with heaven."
00:16:04.677 --> 00:16:09.315
Threaten me with heaven." are you crazy?
00:16:09.382 --> 00:16:12.752
Are you crazy? "what if you die?"
00:16:12.819 --> 00:16:13.453
"what if you die?" what if i do?
00:16:13.520 --> 00:16:14.254

It's called a shortcut to heaven.
00:16:14.821 --> 00:16:17.457
A shortcut to heaven. nothing can separate me
00:16:17.524 --> 00:16:19.359
Nothing can separate me from the love of god.
00:16:19.426 --> 00:16:21.161
From the love of god. and so, i will, until my last
00:16:21.227 --> 00:16:23.296
And so, i will, until my last breath, say things like,
00:16:23.363 --> 00:16:25.732
Breath, say things like, "by his stripes i'm healed."
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:28.368
"by his stripes i'm healed." and when people ask me
00:16:28.435 --> 00:16:29.135
And when people ask me to pray for 'em,
00:16:29.202 --> 00:16:29.869
To pray for 'em, i don't care what

Condition they're in. if i'm coming, i'm gonna

Lay my hands and say, "lord, i commit 'em to you,

"lord, i commit 'em to you, but i'm praying that

But i'm praying that you'll heal 'em.
00:16:38.278 --> 00:16:39.079
You'll heal 'em. either heal 'em
00:16:39.145 --> 00:16:39.946
Either heal 'em in this room or take 'em
00:16:40.013 --> 00:16:42.515
In this room or take 'em to heaven and heal 'em,
00:16:42.582 --> 00:16:44.117
To heaven and heal 'em, but no more suffering."

But no more suffering." and i'm gon' tell you what,
00:16:45.251 --> 00:16:46.920
And i'm gon' tell you what, god is still a healer
00:16:46.986 --> 00:16:48.755

You better learn not to let the enemy just keep coming
00:16:55.495 --> 00:16:57.397
The enemy just keep coming and attacking your mind,
00:16:57.464 --> 00:16:58.731
And attacking your mind, your body, your family,
00:16:58.798 --> 00:17:00.400
Your body, your family, and you have no resistance.

And you have no resistance. you control the narrative.
00:17:02.135 --> 00:17:05.705
You control the narrative. the bible said in proverbs 18,
00:17:05.772 --> 00:17:07.507
The bible said in proverbs 18, "life and death are in
00:17:07.574 --> 00:17:08.942
"life and death are in the power of your tongue,
00:17:09.008 --> 00:17:10.877
The power of your tongue, and you eat the fruit thereof."
00:17:10.944 --> 00:17:16.716
And you eat the fruit thereof." somebody's in the storm
00:17:16.783 --> 00:17:17.750
Somebody's in the storm of your life, you're ready to
00:17:17.817 --> 00:17:19.986
Of your life, you're ready to throw up your hands and quit,

Throw up your hands and quit, you're already negotiating
00:17:21.821 --> 00:17:22.956
You're already negotiating the surrender.
00:17:23.022 --> 00:17:26.759
The surrender. but the lord has

Sent me today to tell you, victory has a voice.

Victory has a voice. and it wasn't until that
00:17:33.166 --> 00:17:34.033
And it wasn't until that king began to use his voice
00:17:34.100 --> 00:17:36.236
King began to use his voice to proclaim victory that
00:17:36.302 --> 00:17:38.304
To proclaim victory that the battle started turning.
00:17:38.371 --> 00:17:40.073
The battle started turning. these stories were written for
00:17:40.140 --> 00:17:42.242
These stories were written for our learning, the bible said.
00:17:42.308 --> 00:17:44.077
Our learning, the bible said. we're supposed to react like god
00:17:44.144 --> 00:17:47.046
We're supposed to react like god shows us in the scripture.
00:17:47.113 --> 00:17:48.781
Shows us in the scripture. and victory doesn't come
00:17:48.848 --> 00:17:51.284
And victory doesn't come until we understand that
00:17:51.351 --> 00:17:53.486
Until we understand that victory has a voice.
00:17:53.553 --> 00:17:59.292
Victory has a voice. you should say things like

You should say things like what the bible says.
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.163
What the bible says. if you're barely hanging on
00:18:03.229 --> 00:18:04.664
If you're barely hanging on and you're in a bad place,
00:18:04.731 --> 00:18:06.900
And you're in a bad place, there's a scripture
00:18:06.966 --> 00:18:07.634
There's a scripture in the bible that says,
00:18:07.700 --> 00:18:08.668
In the bible that says, "now thanks be unto god
00:18:08.735 --> 00:18:10.270
"now thanks be unto god who always gives us
00:18:10.336 --> 00:18:13.173
Who always gives us the victory in every place."
00:18:13.239 --> 00:18:17.510
The victory in every place." there's nowhere i'd go --

There's nowhere i'd go -- what does that mean?
00:18:18.711 --> 00:18:19.512
What does that mean? does that me i won't

Does that mean i'm not suffering?
00:18:21.548 --> 00:18:22.182
I'm not suffering? does that mean i won't
00:18:22.248 --> 00:18:23.149
Does that mean i won't ever go through pain?
00:18:23.216 --> 00:18:24.017
Ever go through pain? i won't ever go through attacks?
00:18:24.083 --> 00:18:25.251
I won't ever go through attacks? i won't go through loss?

I won't go through loss? i won't go through
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:26.786
I won't go through any negative stuff?
00:18:26.853 --> 00:18:27.487
Any negative stuff? no.

Who always gives us the victory in every place."
00:18:34.494 --> 00:18:38.131
The victory in every place." what does that mean?
00:18:38.198 --> 00:18:39.165
What does that mean? that means it doesn't matter
00:18:39.232 --> 00:18:40.567
That means it doesn't matter where i find myself,
00:18:40.633 --> 00:18:41.968
Where i find myself, it doesn't matter what happens
00:18:42.035 --> 00:18:43.937
It doesn't matter what happens to me and my family,
00:18:44.003 --> 00:18:46.339
To me and my family, god still has promised victory,
00:18:46.406 --> 00:18:49.008
God still has promised victory, and we are to put a voice
00:18:49.075 --> 00:18:52.111
And we are to put a voice to that victory.
00:18:52.178 --> 00:18:53.680
To that victory. the cross has won,

This ministry has built

Life-saving projects in israel.

These projects have made

A real difference in the lives
00:24:30.283 --> 00:24:32.018
Of jewish people,

Especially on
00:24:33.419 --> 00:24:34.186
The southern border
00:24:34.253 --> 00:24:35.388
In the region of eshkol.

Civil defense centers,
00:24:40.726 --> 00:24:42.361
We're committing to keeping

Them safe and secure.
00:24:44.030 --> 00:24:45.731
This is the time to stand

With israel.
00:24:48.234 --> 00:24:49.068

>> on october 7,
00:24:58.444 --> 00:24:59.312
Israel was attacked by
00:24:59.412 --> 00:25:00.346
The dark forces of hamas.
00:25:00.446 --> 00:25:02.248
It was the worst massacre
00:25:02.348 --> 00:25:03.349
The jewish people experienced
00:25:03.449 --> 00:25:04.850
Since the holocaust.
00:25:04.951 --> 00:25:06.852
The eshkol region
00:25:06.953 --> 00:25:07.920
In southern israel
00:25:08.020 --> 00:25:08.921
Was attacked directly.
00:25:09.021 --> 00:25:10.389
Women faced
00:25:10.489 --> 00:25:11.223
Unspeakable atrocities.
00:25:11.324 --> 00:25:13.225
Infants were assassinated.
00:25:13.326 --> 00:25:15.194
Numerous families
00:25:15.294 --> 00:25:16.062
Were burnt alive,
00:25:16.162 --> 00:25:17.530
And both mothers
00:25:17.630 --> 00:25:18.197
And their babies
00:25:18.297 --> 00:25:19.298
And holocaust survivors
00:25:19.398 --> 00:25:20.566
Were abducted to
00:25:20.666 --> 00:25:21.367
The hamas tunnels in gaza.
00:25:21.467 --> 00:25:23.669
And now we stand
00:25:23.769 --> 00:25:24.470
At a pivotal moment,
00:25:24.570 --> 00:25:26.172
Poised to provide a lifeline
00:25:26.272 --> 00:25:27.907
For the people of eshkol,
00:25:28.007 --> 00:25:29.442
Who continue to be attacked
00:25:29.542 --> 00:25:30.676
By terrorists every day.

The largest amount of funding

Ever towards the initiative,
00:25:37.283 --> 00:25:38.784
Phase number one,
00:25:40.786 --> 00:25:41.654
Provides physical safety.
00:25:41.754 --> 00:25:43.322
That is why we are building
00:25:43.422 --> 00:25:44.223
Civil defense centers,
00:25:44.323 --> 00:25:45.925
And over 800 safe houses,
00:25:46.025 --> 00:25:48.461
Making sure every family
00:25:48.561 --> 00:25:49.996
In the region has a safe room,
00:25:50.096 --> 00:25:51.664
In case of terrorist attacks.
00:25:51.764 --> 00:25:52.765
>> this is home.
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.767
Israel is our place.

This is the safest place
00:25:55.901 --> 00:25:56.636
We can be.
00:25:56.702 --> 00:25:58.170
And this safe room became
00:25:58.237 --> 00:25:59.572
Our little safe haven.
00:25:59.639 --> 00:26:00.806
It's something that
00:26:00.873 --> 00:26:02.241
Every single person
00:26:02.308 --> 00:26:03.242
In our area needs.
00:26:03.309 --> 00:26:04.377
I can't stress it enough

That it saved our lives,

Life on the 7th of october
00:26:09.115 --> 00:26:10.850
