WEBVTT
00:00:00.662 --> 00:00:02.327
Well, praise the Lord, praise the Lord.
00:00:02.327 --> 00:00:03.049
Praise the Lord.
00:00:03.049 --> 00:00:28.394
We are in the tail end of this long study that we've been doing concerning enmity with the seed, going back to Genesis, the third chapter after the fall of Adam and Eve, when God said to the enemy I will put enmity between your seed and her seed, amen.
00:00:28.394 --> 00:00:30.338
And that seed was Christ.
00:00:30.338 --> 00:00:35.932
Paul said in the book of Galatians that that seed is Christ.
00:00:35.932 --> 00:00:43.594
And when he talked about Abraham, god said he would bless Abraham and he would bless his seed.
00:00:43.594 --> 00:00:50.188
And Jesus says that seed wasn't many seeds, that seed was one seed and that seed was Christ.
00:00:50.188 --> 00:00:52.552
Amen, praise God.
00:00:53.161 --> 00:01:10.944
So we're talking about this ongoing 6,000 year battle between the Christ and the Antichrist Amen, battle between the Christ and the Antichrist Amen, and it has had multiple manifestations down through the centuries.
00:01:10.944 --> 00:01:31.206
And we're just in, as we're reviewing here, we're looking at how all of those different manifestations are coming, are being brought to bear in this century as this last great battle starts to shape up and we identify, we know what.
00:01:31.206 --> 00:01:33.751
We find out, what our role is in it.
00:01:33.751 --> 00:01:35.652
We find out what the enemy is doing.
00:01:35.652 --> 00:01:36.719
Amen.
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:55.512
In the principles of war, it's absolutely important to know who you are and what your capabilities are, and it is as equally important to know your enemy and what his capabilities are.
00:01:55.512 --> 00:02:02.492
Amen, it doesn't do any good if you know what you can do, but you don't know what your enemy can do.
00:02:02.492 --> 00:02:03.941
Amen.
00:02:03.941 --> 00:02:09.860
And it doesn't do you any good if you know what the enemy can do and you don't have an accurate assessment of what you can do.
00:02:09.860 --> 00:02:15.290
I mean, both things are absolutely important.
00:02:15.290 --> 00:02:18.197
Praise God, hallelujah.
00:02:18.197 --> 00:02:29.070
So that's what we're trying to do, because all of these things that we've talked about historically are now rolling up into this last great battle.
00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:36.211
Last week we talked about four things the blood sacrifice that was typified in Abel's life.
00:02:36.211 --> 00:02:43.182
The importance of that blood sacrifice and how Antichrist consistently tries to minimize it.
00:02:43.182 --> 00:02:44.742
Christ consistently tries to minimize it.
00:02:44.742 --> 00:02:52.627
Amen, if we can, if if he can produce a church that minimizes the power of the blood, amen.
00:02:52.627 --> 00:02:56.169
Then he is going to get that church off track.
00:02:57.230 --> 00:03:14.882
I believe that there the Bible says and we've talked about this, we've talked about this at great length in this series that there, that in in in first John, it says that these three testify on the earth the water, the blood and the spirit.
00:03:14.882 --> 00:03:27.152
And if you misunderstand the doctrines of water baptism, spirit baptism, the application of the blood and the power of the water of the Word of God, amen.
00:03:27.152 --> 00:03:36.631
If you misunderstand that and you misteach it, your doctrine is going to be so far off that it's not worthwhile listening to Amen.
00:03:36.631 --> 00:03:50.774
It may start out relatively accurately, but because you've chosen to be inaccurate in one of those foundational teachings, you're going to veer off like that and so after time you're going to be way over here.
00:03:50.774 --> 00:04:01.306
It's not going to be recognizable and you're going to throw stones at what originally was the truth, because you're so far away from it you can't recognize it.
00:04:01.306 --> 00:04:05.264
Follow what I'm saying Hallelujah, praise God.
00:04:05.264 --> 00:04:06.715
It you can't recognize, follow what I'm saying hallelujah, praise god.
00:04:06.715 --> 00:04:07.037
So we've got.
00:04:07.037 --> 00:04:11.389
So the blood sacrifice of abel is absolutely essential.
00:04:11.730 --> 00:04:31.867
Noah showed us that the righteousness of god cannot be ignored and result in an earth that's filled with unbelief and violence, because what god did in that was he raised up a standard called the flood, and that flood serves as a backdrop for everything that god does.
00:04:31.867 --> 00:04:44.172
Okay at if, if the, when the enemy comes in comma like a flood, the spirit of god raises up a standard against him.
00:04:44.172 --> 00:04:50.211
Well, that flood that that scripture talks about, and that's the key scripture we've been using all through this.
00:04:50.211 --> 00:05:01.786
That flood is Noah's flood, one of the greatest catastrophes that's ever swept the planet, and God did that because his righteousness was ignored.
00:05:01.786 --> 00:05:21.389
Hallelujah, after the flood, there was a man named Nimrod, and that's where we looked at the futility and yet the persistence of the enemy lifting up works, righteousness as a way to be justified before God.
00:05:21.389 --> 00:05:28.887
In other words, we're not going to depend on the blood, we're not going to depend on the blood, we're not going to depend on Christ's righteousness, we're going to depend on our own works.
00:05:29.528 --> 00:05:35.685
Nimrod built a tower to heaven, did he not?
00:05:35.685 --> 00:05:40.975
And said I will ascend up into heaven and I'm going to deal with this God.
00:05:40.975 --> 00:05:43.209
That brought the flood, amen.
00:05:43.209 --> 00:05:44.654
And what did God do?
00:05:44.654 --> 00:05:47.581
God came down from heaven and destroyed that tower.
00:05:47.581 --> 00:05:56.295
But yet, listen, here we are today, 5,000 years later, amen.
00:05:56.295 --> 00:05:58.382
And what are they doing?
00:05:58.382 --> 00:06:06.793
They're building a tower in the Middle East that's going to be 3,200 feet high.
00:06:06.793 --> 00:06:11.642
It's going to be a full kilometer high.
00:06:11.642 --> 00:06:13.206
Glory to God.
00:06:13.206 --> 00:06:14.889
Six-tenths of a mile high.
00:06:15.651 --> 00:06:24.440
Well, you know, as soon as they get that and that one, somebody's going to want one that's a kilometer and a half, and pretty soon you're going to have one that's a mile high, 5,000 feet high.
00:06:24.440 --> 00:06:32.805
You know, I mean, listen, you could go down, you could go to how can I say this?
00:06:32.805 --> 00:06:41.048
You could be at the base floor and it'll be 110 degrees and you think you're going to die of heat, amen.
00:06:41.048 --> 00:06:44.891
And get up to the top of that building and it's an entirely different weather.
00:06:44.891 --> 00:06:47.851
Well, you're not hearing anything I'm saying.
00:06:47.851 --> 00:06:58.357
If you are in Costa Rica, you can be on the beach and it'll be the most miserable 95 to 100 degree weather you can ever imagine.
00:06:58.357 --> 00:07:00.697
It'll be so hot you can't stand it.
00:07:00.697 --> 00:07:05.310
Get in your car, drive an hour and a half, go up to San Jose.
00:07:05.310 --> 00:07:11.548
That is exactly 3,000 feet, one kilometer high.
00:07:11.548 --> 00:07:20.026
Entirely different weather High 60s, nice little breeze, don't break a sweat, perfect weather.
00:07:20.026 --> 00:07:29.084
That's what it would be like if you went down, got in an elevator and went up to the top of this new building, 3 000 feet high.
00:07:29.807 --> 00:07:50.826
They're still building the towers, because that's how they measure this thing called works, righteousness, hallelujah, and finally, we talked about abraham and the kings of the earth resisting the man of god, the, the power of God, the rule of God, the righteousness of God and all these things.
00:07:50.826 --> 00:07:51.949
So we're going to pick it up today.
00:07:51.949 --> 00:07:56.428
We're going to look at a few more of these things that we studied.
00:07:56.428 --> 00:08:14.487
Moving on to Moses Moses, we looked at how the effect of Babylonian perversion and institutional witchcraft formed Moses' first 40 years.
00:08:14.487 --> 00:08:27.291
The Bible says, both in the New Testament and the Old, that Moses was well-trained in all of the arts and all of the wisdom of the Egyptians.
00:08:27.291 --> 00:08:44.413
That didn't mean he was just well trained militarily, which he was, nor was he just well trained in architecture, which he probably was, but he was also well trained in the religious practices of the Egyptians.
00:08:44.533 --> 00:08:47.679
And the religious practices of the Egyptians were.
00:08:47.679 --> 00:09:02.313
They were the direct line recipients of what came out of Babylon, this abhorrent religion of a father, mother and child.
00:09:02.313 --> 00:09:06.236
It had a name in Babylon, it acquired.
00:09:06.236 --> 00:09:12.240
They acquired different names in Egypt, but they were the same thing, meant many of the same gods.
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:32.269
It was the same religious system and Moses was trained in this religious system until, at the age of 40, moses struck down an Egyptian for killing one of the children of Israel, and Moses had to flee for his life.
00:09:32.269 --> 00:09:44.933
He fled to the east, to a land named Midian, and there he met a woman whose father was the priest of Midian.
00:09:44.933 --> 00:09:48.581
His name was Jethro.
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:48.942
Remember all this.
00:09:48.942 --> 00:09:58.144
I'm not going to go all over this, but this is important Because he spent 40 years in Egypt learning the practices and the religion.
00:09:58.144 --> 00:10:17.302
Now, remember, the same religious practice in Egypt was the one that, when Moses went back, those sorcerers and those wizards in Egypt could do what Moses did, up to a point, they weren't.
00:10:17.302 --> 00:10:19.590
We're not talking about, you know, slouches.
00:10:19.590 --> 00:10:27.394
We're talking about professional warlocks, witches at the highest level of government.
00:10:27.394 --> 00:10:36.572
They were right there in Pharaoh's presence and they were pulling off magic that would astound anybody.
00:10:36.572 --> 00:10:39.326
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:10:40.539 --> 00:11:22.659
And Moses, during his 40 years of being in Egypt, by one of the few priests of the order of Melchizedek that was left on the planet, remember this that Abraham had many sons.
00:11:22.659 --> 00:11:33.528
He didn't just have Isaac and he didn't just have Ishmael, but he had many sons after Sarah died, and one of those sons was Midian.
00:11:33.528 --> 00:11:49.827
And Midian was raised up by Abraham and raised up under the influence of Melchizedek, so that when he started his own people and they had their own priesthood amen, this would have been what priesthood?
00:11:49.827 --> 00:11:51.490
The priesthood of Midian?
00:11:51.490 --> 00:11:54.666
No, it would have been the priesthood of Melchizedek.
00:11:54.666 --> 00:11:56.331
It was the only priesthood they knew.
00:11:56.331 --> 00:12:00.528
They learned it from Abraham, they learned it from Melchizedek.
00:12:00.528 --> 00:12:04.442
They turned around and took it to the countries that they developed and started.
00:12:05.445 --> 00:12:08.590
And here we are some what, 400 years later?
00:12:08.590 --> 00:12:25.919
And here's Moses, and he needs to be delivered and he needs to be taught and he needs to be prepared to meet the living God in the burning bush and then, consequently, to meet him again at the top of Mount Sinai.
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.907
Are you hearing, praise God?
00:12:28.907 --> 00:12:38.769
So for 40 years we had to get Egypt out of Moses and we had to get the revelation of Melchizedek in him.
00:12:38.769 --> 00:12:41.032
It took 40 years to do this.
00:12:41.032 --> 00:12:52.210
So if you think people are just going to get instantaneously, wham delivered, amen, they need to be discipled, they need to be mentored, they need to be taught.
00:12:52.210 --> 00:12:53.793
Glory to God.
00:12:54.559 --> 00:13:07.631
There was institutional witchcraft and Babylonian perversion rampant in Egypt and Moses had to come out from among them and be separate so that he could go back in.
00:13:07.631 --> 00:13:12.153
He had to be delivered so that he could be a deliverer.
00:13:12.153 --> 00:13:14.159
And we have in our world today.
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:25.447
We have a world that is permeated with witchcraft, permeated with drugs and sex, perversion and sports.
00:13:25.447 --> 00:13:27.254
Let me give you an example.
00:13:27.254 --> 00:13:31.325
I've told you this story before, but it's a great story, amen.
00:13:31.825 --> 00:13:41.446
I was down in Costa Rica and I was trying to talk to them about what you don't know can hurt you.
00:13:41.446 --> 00:13:45.552
I said I've been over to your houses on Sunday afternoon.
00:13:45.552 --> 00:13:56.548
That is not a good time to go over and have fellowship with a pastor because everybody's staring around the television watching the local soccer team, do you know?
00:13:56.548 --> 00:14:00.003
And they're all living and dying by this minor league.
00:14:00.003 --> 00:14:07.298
I mean really minor league, I mean minor, minor, minor, minor, minor league, city level soccer team in Costa Rica.
00:14:07.298 --> 00:14:09.869
I mean you'd think they were World Cup level.
00:14:09.869 --> 00:14:23.326
They are not World Cup level, but Costa Rica had a pretty good soccer team that year and they thought they were going to go to the World Cup, you know, and all that kind of stuff, and they were just totally consumed with it's all they talked about.
00:14:23.326 --> 00:14:27.511
And then, you know, they would just watch it, you know, and then go on and on.
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.308
I said I said mark my words.
00:14:30.308 --> 00:15:04.231
You don't believe me, but I am telling you that the World Cup event, along with other things like it Super Bowls, olympics, anything that has this periodic thing where billions of people have their attention glued to it it is under the control of demonic powers and they are programming people as they watch it, because it's the one opportunity they have to get everybody looking at the same thing.
00:15:04.231 --> 00:15:11.552
And listen, folks, this is not NASCAR driving at 200 miles an hour.
00:15:11.552 --> 00:15:14.539
These are guys just running up and down a field.
00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:40.071
And so, while you're semi-hypnotized by this movement like this, they're programming you, and they're not programming you to go to church, they're programming you into perversion, to magic, to witchcraft, and you'll never know it, because it's all subliminal, it's all stuff that you can't see or hear, but it's going into your brains.
00:15:40.840 --> 00:16:00.913
I said you don't believe me, but I'm going to prophesy to you that in this cycle of the World's Cup, there will be a world scandal, and you will see that what I'm telling you is right, that it is thoroughly corrupt, it is thoroughly immoral, it is thoroughly bribed, it is thoroughly paid for.
00:16:00.913 --> 00:16:08.885
So there's not a, there's not a single thing that goes on in that whole thing, that's not scripted and it's not already decided.
00:16:08.885 --> 00:16:25.139
And I told them who was going to win, and I said I don't know anything about it, but I'll tell you who's going to win, because it doesn't depend on who has the most skill, it depends on who has the biggest market share of TV and how they want to draw it.
00:16:25.139 --> 00:16:35.988
So then you know, I said I said I said tomorrow I think it was on a Saturday I said tomorrow you will be in front of your televisions going like this.
00:16:35.988 --> 00:16:47.101
Because you're not believing a single word, I say that I am coming back when this is, when the world cup is all over, and I'm going to tell you exactly what happened and how I prophesied.
00:16:47.101 --> 00:16:54.774
So when many months goes by, this wasn't like in the middle of the thing and I was forecasting, you know, like a forecast guy.
00:16:54.774 --> 00:16:57.461
Well, I think this team's going to this was months.
00:16:58.923 --> 00:17:09.175
During that time, the World Cup suffered the greatest disgrace and just expose in modern sports history.
00:17:09.175 --> 00:17:14.152
The whole kit and caboodle of the thing was shown to be corrupt.
00:17:14.152 --> 00:17:19.392
They were taking bribes in the multiplied hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:17:19.392 --> 00:17:21.586
You know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:17:21.586 --> 00:17:23.086
It just went on and on and on.
00:17:23.086 --> 00:17:29.666
People got fired, you know, all over the place, and it didn't implode.
00:17:29.666 --> 00:17:36.067
They still went ahead and had the World Cup After all that collusion and everything else.
00:17:36.067 --> 00:17:41.307
Everybody lost their jobs, they still had it and the team that I prophesied won it.
00:17:42.579 --> 00:17:55.809
So I went back down there and I said you remember that few months ago I told you about all that I said it all happened because it's just full of witchcraft and full of demonic activity.
00:17:55.809 --> 00:18:02.106
They looked at me a little bit more serious but they didn't give up their Sunday afternoons of looking at that stuff.
00:18:02.106 --> 00:18:06.123
Amen, but that's what I'm talking about.
00:18:06.123 --> 00:18:09.442
I'm not even going to get into polite.
00:18:09.442 --> 00:18:12.984
I'm in the middle of polite, you know mixed company.
00:18:13.046 --> 00:18:18.827
So I'm not going to get into all of the details about where 350,000 children disappeared to.
00:18:18.827 --> 00:18:51.369
But let me tell you something it would shock you beyond all belief If you know what goes in, what goes on in the hidden basements and hidden caves and hidden locked caverns underneath some houses where these children are trained and groomed and programmed and given drugs and raised up in a pure satanic environment of perversion and corruption.
00:18:51.369 --> 00:18:58.298
Environment of perversion and corruption.
00:18:58.298 --> 00:18:59.381
And it's happening to the tune.
00:18:59.381 --> 00:19:00.763
It's just not happening in this country to 300,000.
00:19:00.763 --> 00:19:06.058
It's happening all over the planet when these children are being taken and stolen and sold.
00:19:06.058 --> 00:19:16.681
Europe is just full of them, the United States is full of them, latin America is full of them, and that's the situation we are confronted.
00:19:16.681 --> 00:19:18.767
We live in that world.
00:19:18.767 --> 00:19:23.159
You may not think you live in that world, but you live in that world.
00:19:23.941 --> 00:19:30.240
There are people right here in this county that have them living in their basements.
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.794
If you think they they're not, you're delusional.
00:19:33.794 --> 00:19:38.615
In the next County over it's even worse than in the next County over there.
00:19:38.615 --> 00:19:39.499
You couldn't even count.
00:19:39.499 --> 00:19:40.865
I mean, we're talking.
00:19:40.865 --> 00:19:41.488
We're talking.
00:19:41.488 --> 00:19:46.344
We live in the fourth major metropolitan area in the United States.
00:19:46.344 --> 00:19:47.787
What do you think's going on here?
00:19:47.787 --> 00:19:49.880
Glory to God, let's go on.
00:19:51.163 --> 00:19:59.564
We looked at Joshua and we looked at what happened when righteous authority was perverted by the sins of the Amorites.
00:19:59.564 --> 00:20:13.426
Sins of the Amorites were allowed to go on for centuries until the Lord said that their sin was full, and then I could send my people to battle against the Amorites, being led by Joshua.
00:20:13.426 --> 00:20:28.640
But the fact that the sin of the Amorites, which was a degradation and a perversion that was off the scale amen that that could happen happens, and it happens in this day.
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:34.828
Why do we live in a world that is totally perverse and totally corrupt?
00:20:34.828 --> 00:20:35.816
Why do we do that?
00:20:35.816 --> 00:20:39.762
Because the church has no power, amen.
00:20:39.762 --> 00:20:50.182
The church has no authority, the church has no voice, and when the church raises its voice, it raises its voice in this weak, pathetic.
00:20:50.182 --> 00:21:06.939
I mean, did we not see this just this past week of some bishop you know, publicly upbraiding the president publicly, and they think that has some power and they think that has some voice.
00:21:06.939 --> 00:21:07.820
It has no power.
00:21:07.820 --> 00:21:09.084
It has no voice.
00:21:09.084 --> 00:21:16.659
Nobody pays attention because nobody's paid any attention to those folk for a long time.
00:21:16.659 --> 00:21:17.800
Amen.
00:21:17.800 --> 00:21:38.846
They gave up their seat of authority, they gave up their place, their voice, and they gave up their voice when they quit believing in the authority of the word of God and the authority of God's rule and reign and they decided they were going to be a social organization.
00:21:38.846 --> 00:21:48.826
When they decided they were going to be a social organization, they vacated their seat and became no one in the conversation.
00:21:48.826 --> 00:21:51.059
Do you not hear what I'm saying?
00:21:51.842 --> 00:22:00.463
Harvard University was once the training grounds for all ministers in the Eastern United States.
00:22:00.463 --> 00:22:03.009
Now, this was several hundred years ago.
00:22:03.009 --> 00:22:17.018
But when Harvard was founded, it was founded to be a training facility for ministers be a training facility for ministers.
00:22:17.018 --> 00:22:17.338
Now look at it.
00:22:17.338 --> 00:22:17.780
Why did that happen?
00:22:17.780 --> 00:22:20.048
Why did that happen to a place that was founded to be a training place for ministers?
00:22:20.048 --> 00:22:21.192
Why did it happen?
00:22:21.192 --> 00:22:24.577
Because they willingly lost their voice.
00:22:24.577 --> 00:22:29.163
They willingly lost their influence in society.
00:22:30.025 --> 00:22:57.804
Up until the beginning of the 1900s, a great number of learning institutions were started by churches, hospitals were started by churches, orphanages were started by churches, places for people that were destitute, poor, indigent women that had lost their husbands, all those kinds of things.
00:22:57.804 --> 00:23:01.605
Those facilities were run and started by churches.
00:23:01.605 --> 00:23:10.925
By the 1900s, those things were run by the government, and you know what Ronald Reagan said about the government the nine worst words that you'll ever want to hear is hi, I'm from the government.
00:23:10.925 --> 00:23:14.357
And I nine worst words that you'll ever want to hear is hi, I'm from the government, I'm here to help you.
00:23:14.357 --> 00:23:20.837
You know, once the government took over those things, they became useless.
00:23:20.837 --> 00:23:28.920
They took over the churches, they took over the schools, they took over the orphanages, they took over the hospitals Glory to God.
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:37.762
And so now they're run by church boards that have no voice for God because they've severed their connection with God.
00:23:38.536 --> 00:24:38.457
By the time that we have the Amorites morph down and intermingle with the Philistines and they're living in the area that was called Philistine over now, where we're having all this trouble in the Gaza Strip and Gath and all of those places to deliberately intermingle with the bloodline that came down from Noah through his son Shem, through Abraham, through Isaac, through the children of Israel, through Judah and now to David, trying to disrupt that bloodline by killing David amen and establishing Goliath as the king over the people of Israel.
00:24:38.457 --> 00:24:41.363
Now, what would have happened had that happened?
00:24:41.363 --> 00:24:52.266
Had that happened, israel would have been co-mingled with this satanic bloodline and they would have been obliterated out of history.
00:24:52.266 --> 00:24:58.080
Nobody would have ever heard of anything I'm talking about today.
00:24:58.080 --> 00:25:06.798
There would have been no history of the Jewish people, there would be no Bible, there would be none of that.
00:25:06.798 --> 00:25:18.820
It was totally up to David to stand in the gap, not only to protect his life, not only protect his destiny, but to protect the destiny of the people, israel.
00:25:18.820 --> 00:25:40.464
That's why, in all the future, in all time, there will only be one king of Israel, and his name is David Amen, because David stood in the gap for his destiny and stood in the gap for the destiny of his people and stood in the gap for the arrival of the Messiah.
00:25:41.205 --> 00:25:44.519
Now, did a young 15, 16-year-old boy know all these things?
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:45.480
Probably not.
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:47.905
Did Samuel know all these things?
00:25:47.905 --> 00:25:49.028
Probably so.
00:25:49.028 --> 00:25:51.962
David's just 15 or 16.
00:25:51.962 --> 00:25:53.730
He's looking at Saul's daughter.
00:25:53.730 --> 00:25:56.878
He hears that if somebody kills Goliath, he gets the girl.
00:25:56.878 --> 00:25:59.704
This is good stuff, amen.
00:25:59.704 --> 00:26:02.154
What's wrong with getting the king's daughter.
00:26:02.154 --> 00:26:03.897
You know this is how David's thinking.
00:26:03.897 --> 00:26:05.359
Well, we're done.
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:08.023
I'm just being real here, men.
00:26:08.064 --> 00:26:24.550
But David stood in the gap and stopped Goliath when Goliath had totally demobilized the Israeli army and filled them full of unfaith fear.
00:26:24.550 --> 00:26:28.503
He just filled them full of, you know, unbelief.
00:26:28.503 --> 00:26:30.742
They were shaking in their shoes.
00:26:30.742 --> 00:26:34.104
Every one of them was scared to death.
00:26:34.104 --> 00:26:37.539
Nobody was going to go out and fight Goliath.
00:26:37.539 --> 00:26:39.284
He's almost 10 feet tall.
00:26:39.284 --> 00:26:41.556
You couldn't even touch his armor.
00:26:41.556 --> 00:26:43.219
It was too heavy to bear.
00:26:43.219 --> 00:26:57.480
And yet this boy, david, when it was all over, picked up his sword, which was probably bigger than he was, and lifted it up and cut the devil's head off.
00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:58.080
Glory to God.
00:26:58.080 --> 00:27:01.969
We always think the big thing is the stones, and the stone was important.
00:27:01.969 --> 00:27:05.280
Stone was buried right in his forehead.
00:27:05.280 --> 00:27:11.578
But David went up and picked up that massive sword, lifted it up and cut off his head.
00:27:11.578 --> 00:27:13.563
Glory to God.
00:27:14.263 --> 00:27:16.048
Where are the Davids in this age?
00:27:16.048 --> 00:27:17.738
Where are the Davids in the church?
00:27:17.738 --> 00:27:29.308
Where are the Davids that are going to stand up and say not on our watch, this is not going to happen on our watch, because we know a God who is more powerful.
00:27:29.308 --> 00:27:32.980
See, israel did not know that God.
00:27:32.980 --> 00:27:35.346
I wish I could preach this.
00:27:35.346 --> 00:27:37.215
They did not know that God.
00:27:37.215 --> 00:27:45.477
They knew a God that had been brought to them by Eli and his family until Samuel came along.
00:27:45.477 --> 00:27:50.765
And then there was Saul, and he corrupted this whole thing as well.
00:27:50.765 --> 00:27:54.369
So they had no vision of how great this God was.
00:27:54.369 --> 00:28:05.067
But David did, because he said this God that saved me from the lion and from the bear is gonna deliver this uncircumcised Philistine into my hands.
00:28:05.067 --> 00:28:09.261
Where are the Davids that are gonna stand up and say God is gonna deliver?
00:28:09.261 --> 00:28:12.144
I said God is gonna deliver, hallelujah.
00:28:14.115 --> 00:28:17.903
And so we move on and we see what God did in the days of Elijah.
00:28:17.903 --> 00:28:25.898
When Elijah, thinking that he was the only prophet, left in Israel Amen.
00:28:25.898 --> 00:28:34.471
You remember the story God sent him to raise up a standard against Jezebel and against Ahab.
00:28:34.471 --> 00:28:56.894
Ahab had gone off, king of Israel and gone off and married a Sidonian, I think, witch, and she came back and basically took over the government and sent him running scared Amen.
00:28:56.894 --> 00:28:57.376
And here comes Elijah.
00:28:57.376 --> 00:28:57.858
You remember the story?
00:28:57.858 --> 00:29:02.816
Elijah's praying There'd been a famine for three and a half years and Elijah's praying for rain.
00:29:02.816 --> 00:29:11.464
And he looks up and he sees a cloud, the shape of a man's hand, size of a man's hand, and he begins to pray more fervently.
00:29:11.464 --> 00:29:21.868
And then he goes, tells his servant he said go tell Ahab that I hear the sound of abundance of rain.
