FIRST KINGS, CHAPTER
00:00:11.70\00:00:25.50
19 IS WHERE I WOULD LIKE
TO DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION.
00:00:25.50\00:00:29.16
I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE
BEEN BLESSED ALL WEEK LONG.
00:00:29.16\00:00:32.00
WHAT DO YOU SAY ?
00:00:32.00\00:00:33.46
I THINK I PROMISED
YOU AT THE BEGINNING I'D
00:00:33.46\00:00:35.16
HAVE FUN ALL WEEK LONG.
00:00:35.16\00:00:37.13
I HAVE.
00:00:37.13\00:00:38.66
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU.
00:00:38.66\00:00:41.56
I HOPE YOU'VE BEEN BLESSED,
BUT WHENEVER I OPEN THIS BOOK,
00:00:41.56\00:00:46.60
SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME.
00:00:46.60\00:00:49.40
AND I COUNT IT A PRIVILEGE
TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
00:00:49.40\00:00:52.93
TO SHARE IT WITH YOU.
00:00:52.93\00:00:54.40
FIRST KINGS, CHAPTER
19, AND I DIRECT YOUR
00:00:54.40\00:00:58.10
ATTENTION TO VERSE 7.
00:00:58.10\00:01:01.33
FIRST KINGS, CHAPTER 19,
STARTING WITH VERSE 7, AND
00:01:02.50\00:01:04.80
HERE'S WHAT THE BIBLE
SAYS, "AND THE ANGEL OF THE LORD
00:01:04.80\00:01:08.53
CAME AGAIN THE SECOND
TIME AND TOUCHED HIM, AND SAID,
00:01:08.53\00:01:13.60
'ARISE AND EAT, BECAUSE THE
JOURNEY IS TOO GREAT FOR THEE.'
00:01:13.60\00:01:20.13
AND HE AROSE AND DID EAT
AND DRINK AND WENT IN THE
00:01:20.13\00:01:23.30
STRENGTH OF THAT MEAT
40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS UNTO
00:01:23.30\00:01:27.80
HOREB THE MOUNT OF GOD.
00:01:27.80\00:01:31.03
AND HE CAME THITHER
UNTO A CAVE AND LODGED THERE.
00:01:31.03\00:01:36.23
AND BEHOLD, THE WORD OF
THE LORD CAME TO HIM AND
00:01:36.23\00:01:38.50
SAID UNTO HIM, 'WHAT
DOEST THOU HERE, ELIJAH ?'"
00:01:38.50\00:01:44.56
I BORROWED THE
WORDS--WHAT DOEST THOU HERE ?
00:01:45.36\00:01:50.53
SHALL WE PRAY TOGETHER ?
00:01:50.53\00:01:52.53
FATHER IN HEAVEN, WE ARE
SO GRATEFUL FOR THE TRUTH
00:01:52.53\00:01:57.03
THAT IS IN THE WORD OF GOD.
00:01:57.03\00:01:59.00
OUR MINDS ARE BOMBARDED ALL
DAY LONG EVERYDAY WITH THINGS
00:01:59.00\00:02:04.96
THAT ARE NOT TRUE, BUT
WHEN WE OPEN THIS BOOK, WE ARE
00:02:04.96\00:02:09.13
ASSURED THAT THIS IS THE TRUTH.
00:02:09.13\00:02:12.83
WE ALSO HAVE THE ASSURANCE
THAT THE ONE THAT GUIDED IN THE
00:02:12.83\00:02:16.36
WRITING OF THE BOOK CAN BE
WITH US AND GIVE US THE POWER
00:02:16.36\00:02:21.90
TO UNDERSTAND AND TO COMPREHEND.
00:02:21.90\00:02:24.50
BE WITH US TONIGHT.
00:02:24.50\00:02:26.20
GIVE US THAT POWER AND
WE SHALL GIVE PRAISE, GLORY
00:02:26.20\00:02:30.26
AND HONOR TO THY NAME.
00:02:30.26\00:02:32.53
IN THE NAME OF
JESUS WE PRAY, AMEN.
00:02:32.53\00:02:36.10
THE BIBLE IS CLEAR.
00:02:36.10\00:02:37.26
THERE IS A TIME WHEN
GOD DIRECTS, WHEN GOD TELLS
00:02:37.26\00:02:43.63
YOU WHERE TO GO, AND I
HAVE DETERMINED BY EXPERIENCE
00:02:43.63\00:02:49.43
AND BY WHAT I'VE READ
THAT IF GOD SAYS GO AND YOU DO
00:02:49.43\00:02:53.53
IT, YOU CAN BE CERTAIN
THAT HE WILL BE WITH YOU.
00:02:53.53\00:02:58.53
THERE IS A WONDERFUL
FEELING WHEN YOU KNOW
00:02:58.53\00:03:02.40
THAT GOD IS WITH YOU.
00:03:02.40\00:03:04.43
YOU REMEMBER THAT THE
DISCIPLES WERE ON THAT TRIP;
00:03:04.43\00:03:07.13
I HAVE PREACHED ABOUT IT A
FEW TIME, WHEN JESUS SAID GO
00:03:07.13\00:03:10.90
AND THE STORM AROSE, BUT
SOMEBODY REMEMBERED THAT WHEN
00:03:10.90\00:03:16.36
JESUS GOES WITH YOU, YOU
NEED NOT BE AFRAID OF STORMS.
00:03:16.36\00:03:22.23
IF THERE IS DIVINITY ON
THE TRIP WITH YOU, YOU HAVE A
00:03:22.23\00:03:27.66
DIFFERENT LEVEL OF SECURITY.
00:03:27.66\00:03:30.43
WHEN YOU BEGIN TO READ
ABOUT ELIJAH, PARTICULARLY AS WE
00:03:31.33\00:03:34.63
BEGIN IN VERSE 17 OF
FIRST KINGS, HE IS NOT ANNOUNCED
00:03:34.63\00:03:40.70
AS MANY PROPHETS ARE.
00:03:40.70\00:03:42.33
THERE ARE PROPHETS WHO CAME
WITH A LONG DESCRIPTION OF WHO
00:03:42.33\00:03:45.43
THEY WERE--THEIR FORBEARERS
AND THEIR CREDENTIALS.
00:03:45.43\00:03:50.53
ELIJAH COMES WITH
NOT A LOT OF FANFARE.
00:03:51.33\00:03:54.83
IN FACT, WHEN YOU FIND HIM AT
THE BEGINNING OF CHAPTER 17, HE
00:03:54.83\00:03:59.46
IS DIRECTED TO GO TO THE PALACE
OF KING AHAB AND QUEEN JEZEBEL.
00:03:59.46\00:04:07.30
FORGIVE ME IF WHEN I SAY THAT
DOUBLE NAME, THAT THOSE PEOPLE
00:04:07.30\00:04:13.53
WHO BECAME A COUPLE, FORGIVE
ME IF I TREMBLE A LITTLE BIT.
00:04:13.53\00:04:17.86
AHAB AND JEZEBEL.
00:04:17.86\00:04:20.66
BUT IF GOD TELLS YOU TO GO
SEE THEM, YOU OUGHT TO GO SEE
00:04:20.66\00:04:23.33
THEM, BECAUSE A VISIT IN
GOD'S NAME OUGHT BRING NO FEAR.
00:04:23.33\00:04:29.13
SO ELIJAH SHOWS UP UNINVITED.
00:04:29.13\00:04:32.40
I'M SURE THERE WAS SOMEONE THERE
TO GREET HIM AT THE PALACE DOOR
00:04:32.40\00:04:35.83
AND TO ASK, "WHO ARE YOU ?
00:04:35.83\00:04:38.40
DO YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ?
00:04:38.40\00:04:40.30
YOU LOOK STRANGE.
00:04:40.30\00:04:41.60
YOU'RE DRESSED LIKE
THE PROPHETS OF OLD.
00:04:41.60\00:04:44.40
WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE ?"
00:04:44.40\00:04:47.10
AND HE SKIPS PAST ALL THE NORMAL
CHITCHAT AND GOES DIRECTLY TO
00:04:47.10\00:04:52.30
THE KING AND QUEEN AND SAYS,
"THERE WILL BE NO RAIN UNTIL I
00:04:52.30\00:04:58.00
BRING YOU THE WORD FROM GOD.
00:04:58.00\00:05:00.56
THE HEAVENS WILL BE
SEALED UP LIKE BRASS.
00:05:00.56\00:05:04.83
THERE WILL BE
NOTHING TO WATER YOUR CROPS.
00:05:04.83\00:05:08.23
YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE
A CHANGE THAT YOU CANNOT
00:05:08.23\00:05:11.26
EXPECT, AND I DECLARE IT
TO YOU BY THE WORD OF GOD."
00:05:11.26\00:05:15.50
AND JUST AS QUICKLY
AS HE CAME, HE WAS GONE.
00:05:15.50\00:05:18.56
THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN
SOME RESPONSE FROM AHAB.
00:05:18.56\00:05:22.73
THERE CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE
BEEN A RESPONSE FROM JEZEBEL.
00:05:22.73\00:05:26.43
SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE STARTED
BY GIVING A CRITIQUE ON HIS
00:05:26.43\00:05:30.13
WARDROBE, BUT BEFORE
SHE COULD TALK ABOUT WHAT HE
00:05:30.13\00:05:33.66
WORE, HE WAS GONE.
00:05:33.66\00:05:35.70
AHAB PROBABLY WOULD HAVE
ASKED, "IN WHOSE AUTHORITY
00:05:35.70\00:05:38.76
DO YOU COME ?"
00:05:38.76\00:05:39.76
BUT WHEN YOU COME
IN THE POWER OF GOD YOU
00:05:39.76\00:05:42.06
DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN.
00:05:42.06\00:05:44.26
SO HE SAYS WHAT GOD SAYS FOR HIM
TO SAY, AND THEN HE DISAPPEARS.
00:05:44.26\00:05:49.76
HE CAME IN THE POWER OF
GOD; THERE WAS NO QUESTION
00:05:49.76\00:05:53.20
THAT HE HAD AUTHORITY.
00:05:53.20\00:05:54.63
HE GOT IN, HE GOT TO THE
RIGHT PEOPLE, HE DELIVERED THE
00:05:54.63\00:05:57.70
MESSAGE, AND HE WAS GONE.
00:05:57.70\00:05:59.83
IT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT SERMON.
00:05:59.83\00:06:02.56
GET IN, SPEAK UP, GET OUT.
00:06:02.56\00:06:07.83
SO NOW HE'S GONE, AND I WANT
TO MAKE THE POINT TO SAY THAT HE
00:06:07.83\00:06:13.60
CAME BECAUSE GOD DIRECTED HIM,
AND EVERY TIME ELIJAH MOVES WHEN
00:06:13.60\00:06:19.93
GOD DIRECTS, YOU CAN BE
SURE THAT GOD WILL BE WITH HIM.
00:06:19.93\00:06:23.66
IN FACT, WHEN THE AFFECTS
OF THIS DROUGHT BEGAN TO SHOW
00:06:23.66\00:06:29.60
UP--ONE OF MY FAVORITE WRITERS
SAYS THAT WHEN ELIJAH WENT TO
00:06:29.60\00:06:34.66
THE PALACE TO TELL THE
KING THERE WILL BE NO MORE RAIN,
00:06:34.66\00:06:39.20
IT TOOK A LOT OF FAITH,
BECAUSE AS HE TRAVELED HE
00:06:39.20\00:06:43.50
PASSED BY WELL-WATERED PLACES.
00:06:43.50\00:06:47.00
HE PASSED BY LITTLE
BODIES OF WATER THAT WERE POETIC
00:06:47.00\00:06:49.73
AS THEY TRAVELED.
00:06:49.73\00:06:51.63
HE PASSED BY TREES THAT
WERE VERDANT AND SPREADING.
00:06:51.63\00:06:55.06
HE PASSED BY FLOWERS
THAT GREW BY THEMSELVES.
00:06:55.06\00:06:59.00
HE PASSED BY PLACES THAT
SAID EVERYTHING EXCEPT THERE
00:06:59.00\00:07:02.86
WILL BE NO MORE RAIN.
00:07:02.86\00:07:04.73
BUT MY FRIENDS IF GOD DECLARES
SOMETHING, YOU DON'T NEED
00:07:04.73\00:07:09.10
EVIDENCE FROM NATURE.
00:07:09.10\00:07:11.43
GOD IS ABOVE NATURE; SO
WHEN HE DECLARES IT, YOU
00:07:11.43\00:07:15.96
DON'T NEED EVIDENCE,
JUST SAY WHAT GOD SAYS.
00:07:15.96\00:07:20.63
AFTER THAT HAPPENED,
THEY BEGAN TO SEE IMMEDIATELY
00:07:20.63\00:07:25.20
WHAT GOD HAD PROMISED.
00:07:25.20\00:07:27.43
IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG
FOR NATURE TO RESPOND TO AN
00:07:27.43\00:07:32.00
IMBALANCE OF THIS SORT.
00:07:32.00\00:07:34.26
WHEN YOU GET TO THE PLACE
WHERE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR A
00:07:34.26\00:07:39.80
LAWN--I PRAYED AND PRAYED AND
PRAYED THAT I WOULD HAVE A LAWN.
00:07:39.80\00:07:45.66
YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE OF
THE AMERICAN DREAMS--THAT YOU
00:07:45.66\00:07:49.36
WILL HAVE A HOUSE AND A
LITTLE LAWN--NOT TOO MUCH.
00:07:49.36\00:07:54.36
YOU DON'T WANT TOO MUCH
BECAUSE THEN YOU'VE GOT TO
00:07:54.36\00:07:56.16
GET A TRACTOR; YOU'VE GOT TO
CALL IN HELP--BUT JUST ENOUGH.
00:07:56.16\00:08:00.43
AND WHEN I WAS FINALLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR A LAWN, I BEGAN
00:08:00.43\00:08:04.53
TO DETERMINE SOMETHING--THAT
IF RAIN IS NOT REGULAR, IF
00:08:04.53\00:08:10.60
THERE ISN'T SUPPORT FOR
THE LAWN, YOU CAN SOON BECOME
00:08:10.60\00:08:15.46
THE NEIGHBOR THAT IS HATED.
00:08:15.46\00:08:20.10
PEOPLE PASS DOWN THE
STREET AND THEY LOOK AT ALL THE
00:08:20.10\00:08:22.76
REST OF THE LAWNS--AND YOU
KNOW, SOME PEOPLE ARE QUITE
00:08:22.76\00:08:25.70
OSTENTATIOUS, NOT ONLY DO
THEY HAVE A WONDERFUL LAWN,
00:08:25.70\00:08:28.80
BUT THEY PUT LITTLE
OBJECT D'ART OUT ON THE LAWN.
00:08:28.80\00:08:32.13
THEY MAKE IT SO PRETTY.
00:08:32.13\00:08:33.43
THEY'VE GOT THINGS THAT
SPARKLE AND THINGS THAT LOOK
00:08:33.43\00:08:35.96
LIKE THEY WERE BOUGHT IN
EUROPEAN PLACES, AND THERE YOU
00:08:35.96\00:08:40.63
ARE WITH A LAWN THAT'S BEGINNING
TO TURN THE WRONG COLOR.
00:08:40.63\00:08:45.76
AND I'VE BECOME QUITE SENSITIVE
TO WHAT IT TAKES TO KEEP
00:08:45.76\00:08:50.80
A LAWN LOOKING GOOD.
00:08:50.80\00:08:52.73
MY LAWN IS NOTHING COMPARED
TO THE LANDSCAPE THAT BEGAN TO
00:08:52.73\00:08:58.46
TURN BROWN, THAT BEGAN TO
LOSE ITS VERDANCY WHEN GOD SAID,
00:08:58.46\00:09:05.83
"I WILL SEAL UP THE SKY.
00:09:05.83\00:09:08.86
I WILL SEAL IT UP LIKE BRASS.
00:09:08.86\00:09:12.03
I'LL LOCK UP THE
HEAVENS SO THAT A DROP OF WATER
00:09:12.03\00:09:16.26
CAN'T GET THROUGH."
00:09:16.26\00:09:18.13
BRASS, SOME PEOPLE TELL
ME, IS STILL THE METAL YOU WANT
00:09:18.13\00:09:21.73
TO USE TO CONVEY LIQUID.
00:09:21.73\00:09:24.26
GOD SAYS, "I WILL SEAL UP
THE HEAVENS SO THERE WILL BE
00:09:24.26\00:09:26.90
NO CONVEYANCE OF LIQUID."
00:09:26.90\00:09:29.36
AND VERY SOON YOU
BEGAN TO SEE IT HAPPEN.
00:09:29.36\00:09:31.63
NOW, GOD HAD ALREADY
MADE A PLAN FOR ELIJAH.
00:09:31.63\00:09:36.33
IF GOD SAYS YOU'LL HAVE NO MORE
RAIN AND THERE WILL BE A TIME
00:09:36.33\00:09:39.70
WHEN IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO
GET FOOD--I'VE TRAVELED TO SOME
00:09:39.70\00:09:43.26
PLACES--I CAN'T MENTION THEM,
THE PEOPLE GET EXCITED, BUT I'VE
00:09:43.26\00:09:46.13
TRAVELED TO SOME PLACES IN THE
CARIBBEAN WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE
00:09:46.13\00:09:50.43
TO HAVE ANYBODY GIVE YOU FOOD.
00:09:50.43\00:09:54.60
THERE ARE FRUITS THAT
SPRING UP ON THEIR OWN.
00:09:54.60\00:09:59.23
IN FACT, THEY HAD TO WARN ME.
00:09:59.23\00:10:00.60
I WAS IN ONE OF THOSE PLACES
CONDUCTING A MEETING AND THEY
00:10:00.60\00:10:03.86
TOLD ME, "LOOK ON THE GROUND.
00:10:03.86\00:10:06.50
SEE THAT RIGHT THERE ?"
00:10:06.50\00:10:07.63
AND I PICKED UP SOMETHING--AND
THE THIN-AND CHEWED, AND
00:10:07.63\00:10:10.06
THEY WERE WONDERFUL !
00:10:10.06\00:10:12.86
I SAID, "IS THIS
STUFF EVERYWHERE ?"
00:10:12.86\00:10:14.73
THEY SAID, "EVERYWHERE; EVERYDAY
YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING."
00:10:14.73\00:10:18.90
SO IF ANYBODY'S HUNGRY
HERE, THAT MEANS THAT MEANS THEY
00:10:18.90\00:10:21.76
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR.
00:10:21.76\00:10:23.40
THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT
YOU CAN JUST FIND TO EAT, BUT
00:10:23.40\00:10:25.63
WHEN THE WATER STOPS, WHEN
THERE'S NO MORE IRRIGATIONS,
00:10:25.63\00:10:31.23
THEN WHERE DO YOU EAT ?
00:10:31.23\00:10:33.63
WELL, SINCE GOD TOLD ELIJAH
TO SEND THE MESSAGE, HE OUGHT
00:10:33.63\00:10:36.53
TO TAKE CARE OF THE MESSENGER.
00:10:36.53\00:10:39.06
OH, EVERY PREACHER
OUGHT TO SAY AMEN ON THAT ONE.
00:10:39.06\00:10:42.60
IF GOD SENDS YOU WITH A
MESSAGE, PARTICULARLY ONE
00:10:42.60\00:10:45.46
THAT IS NOT WELL RECEIVED,
THEN GOD OUGHT TO HAVE A
00:10:45.46\00:10:48.96
PLAN FOR YOU WHEN YOU FINISH
PUTTING THE MESSAGE FORTH.
00:10:48.96\00:10:52.53
IN FACT, I SUGGEST TO YOU THAT
HE NEVER IS LEFT WITHOUT A PLAN.
00:10:52.53\00:10:57.06
SO ANYTHING THAT GOD TELLS
YOU TO SAY, YOU CAN SAY WITH
00:10:57.06\00:11:00.40
AUTHORITY, BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE
FINISHED, GOD WILL SUSTAIN YOU.
00:11:00.40\00:11:05.06
AND SO NOW GOD SAYS, "ELIJAH,
GO TO THE BROOK CHERITH, AND
00:11:05.06\00:11:11.16
WHEN YOU GET THERE YOU WILL FIND
PURE WATER THAT WON'T DRY UP
00:11:11.16\00:11:15.63
QUICKLY; AND I WILL MAKE A
SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT FOR FOOD.
00:11:15.63\00:11:21.76
I WILL GIVE DIRECTIONS TO RAVENS
AND BIRDS WILL BRING YOU FOOD."
00:11:21.76\00:11:30.86
CAN YOU IMAGINE ?
00:11:30.86\00:11:32.43
MOST OF THE TIME
BIRDS SEEM LIKE A NUISANCE.
00:11:32.43\00:11:36.00
MANY TIMES THEY DO THINGS THAT
ARE NOT COMPLETELY IN CONSONANCE
00:11:36.00\00:11:40.40
WITH YOUR PARTICULAR TASTES.
00:11:40.40\00:11:43.43
BUT WHEN GOD TELLS A BIRD
WHAT TO DO, A BIRD CAN BRING
00:11:43.43\00:11:47.56
YOU BREAKFAST AND LUNCH
AND DINNER, AND MAYBE EVEN A
00:11:47.56\00:11:52.80
SNACK IN THE AFTERNOON.
00:11:52.80\00:11:55.73
SO HERE IS ELIJAH, WHO
HAS PREDICTED THERE WILL
00:11:55.73\00:11:59.16
BE NO MORE RAIN.
00:11:59.16\00:12:00.56
AND IT WAS A TERRIBLE MESSAGE !
00:12:00.56\00:12:03.20
IN FACT, IN THE PALACE
OF AHAB AND JEZEBEL, THEY
00:12:03.20\00:12:07.70
SAID, "FIND HIM !"
00:12:07.70\00:12:09.96
THEY DID NOT BELIEVE
THAT IT WAS THE GOD OF HEAVEN
00:12:09.96\00:12:13.20
WHO HAD SENT THE MESSAGE,
SO THEY BLAMED THE MESSENGER.
00:12:13.20\00:12:17.93
WELL, IF YOU'RE EVER GOING
TO TALK FOR GOD, YOU'VE GOT TO
00:12:17.93\00:12:20.63
LEARN THAT SOME PEOPLE
WILL BLAME THE MESSENGER.
00:12:20.63\00:12:24.86
THAT'S WHY I'M GLAD
GOD PROTECTS MESSENGERS.
00:12:24.86\00:12:27.80
WHAT DO YOU SAY ?
00:12:27.80\00:12:29.13
SO GOD SAYS GO DOWN BY THE
BROOK CHERITH, AND WHEN YOU
00:12:29.13\00:12:33.03
GET THERE, YOU'LL FIND WATER.
00:12:33.03\00:12:34.70
PERHAPS, ELIJAH THOUGHT
FOR JUST A SECOND-OKAY, WATER,
00:12:34.70\00:12:38.73
FINE, ANYTHING ELSE ?
00:12:38.73\00:12:41.76
AND SOON HIS ANSWER CAME.
00:12:41.76\00:12:44.43
A RAVEN COMES FLYING
AND STOPS IN THE RIGHT PLACE
00:12:44.43\00:12:49.40
AND BRINGS FOOD,
ENOUGH FOOD TO SUSTAIN HIM.
00:12:49.40\00:12:53.23
YOU KNOW, THAT
HAD TO BE SOMETHING.
00:12:53.23\00:12:55.43
I KIND OF WISH I HAD
BEEN HERE TO SEE THAT.
00:12:55.43\00:12:58.53
AND SO HE EATS A MEAL AND THEN
THE RAVEN COMES AGAIN--WHETHER
00:12:58.53\00:13:01.50
IT WAS THE SAME OR
NOT, I WOULDN'T REALLY CARE.
00:13:01.50\00:13:04.23
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER I'D
GET TO KNOW HIM THAT WELL.
00:13:04.23\00:13:06.46
I JUST WANT TO KNOW--DO
YOU HAVE SOMETHING WITH YOU ?
00:13:06.46\00:13:10.06
AND THE MEALS CAME.
00:13:10.06\00:13:11.46
NOW HERE'S WHAT I
WANT TO SUGGEST TO YOU.
00:13:11.46\00:13:14.06
IT WAS GOD WHO SAID
GO TO THE BROOK CHERITH.
00:13:14.06\00:13:17.50
WHEN YOU FOLLOW WHAT
GOD SAYS, YOU HAVE NO
00:13:17.50\00:13:19.50
QUESTION IN YOUR MIND.
00:13:19.50\00:13:21.36
IF YOU GO AT HIS
BIDDING HE WILL EMPOWER YOU AND
00:13:21.36\00:13:26.03
HE WILL SUSTAIN YOU.
00:13:26.03\00:13:28.00
YOU'RE GOING TO PICK UP A LITTLE
RHYTHM IN THIS IN A MINUTE.
00:13:28.00\00:13:31.06
SO IF GOD SAYS GO, GO KNOWING
THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE HANDLED
00:13:31.06\00:13:38.50
BY THE POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY.
00:13:38.50\00:13:41.10
SO AS LONG AS HE'S THERE, THE
LITTLE STREAM DOESN'T DRY UP.
00:13:41.10\00:13:45.40
EVERYWHERE ELSE IS GETTING
DRY, THERE ARE TREES THAT ARE
00:13:45.40\00:13:48.13
BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE
SKELETONS, THERE ARE BUSHES THAT
00:13:48.13\00:13:52.20
HAVE NOTHING ON THEM THAT'S
GREEN, FLOWERS HAVE DISAPPEARED.
00:13:52.20\00:13:56.86
THERE ARE PIECES
OF PROPERTY THAT HAVE
00:13:56.86\00:14:01.20
NOTHING ON THEM ANYMORE.
00:14:01.20\00:14:03.43
IT ALMOST LOOKS
LIKE FIRE HAS COME.
00:14:03.43\00:14:07.83
THEY ARE COMPLETELY BURNED
AWAY BY THE HEAT OF THE SUN.
00:14:07.83\00:14:12.53
AND YET THAT LITTLE
BROOK, THE BROOK CHERITH, STILL
00:14:12.53\00:14:15.83
HAS WATER, AND THE
RAVENS STILL ARRIVE ON TIME.
00:14:15.83\00:14:20.80
SOMEBODY OUGHT TO SAY, "AMEN,"
FOR THE POWER OF GOD TO SUSTAIN
00:14:20.80\00:14:24.16
YOU WHEN HE DIRECTS YOU.
00:14:24.16\00:14:25.43
WELL, THERE CAME A TIME
WHEN THE BROOK CHERITH DRIED UP.
00:14:25.43\00:14:29.63
I LISTEN TO
PREACHERS ON AN ECLECTIC BASIS.
00:14:29.63\00:14:34.56
I ENJOY WHEN PREACHERS PREACH
WITH AUTHORITY, AND I HEARD A
00:14:34.56\00:14:38.83
PREACHER WHO SAYS THAT WHEN GOD
SHUTS A DOOR, HE OPENS A WINDOW.
00:14:38.83\00:14:44.93
IF GOD EVER ALLOWS ONE
SOURCE TO DRY UP, YOU CAN
00:14:44.93\00:14:49.30
JUST LOOK AROUND,
BECAUSE THERE WILL BE ANOTHER.
00:14:49.30\00:14:53.00
GOD DOES NOT LEAD
THOSE WHO FOLLOW HIM WITHOUT
00:14:53.00\00:14:56.43
SOME WAY TO BE SUSTAINED.
00:14:56.43\00:14:59.43
SO WHEN GOD SAYS,
"LOOK, YOU SEE YOUR BROOK ?"
00:14:59.43\00:15:04.63
I JUST SAY, "YEAH, I SEE
MUCH BROOK LEFT-KIND OF DRY."
00:15:04.63\00:15:10.80
HE SAID, "I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
00:15:10.80\00:15:12.23
GO OVER TO A PLACE
CALLED ZAREPHETH--IN THE
00:15:12.23\00:15:15.26
NEW TESTAMENT, ZEREPTA,
"WHEN YOU GET THERE YOU WILL
00:15:15.26\00:15:18.76
FIND A WIDOW AND HER SON.
00:15:18.76\00:15:21.36
I HAVE ALREADY
GIVEN HER INSTRUCTIONS."
00:15:21.36\00:15:23.66
THE WOMAN WAS NOT A WOMAN
WHO CONSIDERED HERSELF PART
00:15:23.66\00:15:26.43
OF THE FAMILY OF GOD, BUT
I HAPPENED TO KNOW THAT GOD
00:15:26.43\00:15:29.96
MOVES ON PEOPLE WHO ARE
NOT NECESSARILY IN THE FAMILY.
00:15:29.96\00:15:34.96
I HAVE SEEN GOD DO MIRACULOUS
THINGS THROUGH PEOPLE WHO
00:15:34.96\00:15:38.70
DIDN'T EVEN CLAIM TO KNOW
WHO GOD WAS, BUT HIS POWER
00:15:38.70\00:15:42.90
IS SO GREAT THAT HE CAN
ACCOMPLISH MIRACLES THROUGH
00:15:42.90\00:15:46.60
PEOPLE WHO SEEM UNLIKELY.
00:15:46.60\00:15:49.33
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT
BEING WHERE GOD SENDS ME !
00:15:49.33\00:15:54.66
SO HE GOES TO THIS WIDOW.
00:15:54.66\00:15:56.00
I COULD GET EXCITED ABOUT THIS,
SO I'VE GOT TO MONITOR MYSELF.
00:15:56.00\00:16:00.66
THIS WOMAN IS OUT WITH HER SON.
00:16:00.66\00:16:03.86
SHE HAS DECIDED THAT THIS
IS THE LAST DAY OF NUTRITION.
00:16:03.86\00:16:10.50
SHE LOOKED IN HER MEAL
BARREL AND SAW ONLY ENOUGH LEFT
00:16:10.50\00:16:14.96
FOR ONE MORE CAKE OF BREAD.
00:16:14.96\00:16:18.30
SHE LOOKED IN HER OIL CRUSE AND
THERE WAS ONLY ENOUGH OIL LEFT
00:16:18.30\00:16:22.30
FOR ONE MORE CAKE OF BREAD.
00:16:22.30\00:16:24.13
SOME OF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
BECAUSE YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN
00:16:24.13\00:16:26.66
POOR ENOUGH TO BE TRULY HUNGRY.
00:16:26.66\00:16:30.50
I GREW UP IN A HOUSE WHERE WE
KNEW THE LORD, BUT EVERY NOW AND
00:16:30.50\00:16:33.36
THEN, THE LORD WOULD SHOW US HIS
POWER BY LETTING THINGS RUN OUT.
00:16:33.36\00:16:38.83
I SUGGEST TO YOU THAT YOU DON'T
REALLY KNOW GOD UNLESS YOU'VE
00:16:38.83\00:16:42.16
RUN OUT--UNTIL YOU'VE
BEEN BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD
00:16:42.16\00:16:47.40
PLACE--BETWEEN THE
DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA,
00:16:47.40\00:16:50.80
AT THE END OF YOUR
ROPE, DOWN TO YOUR LAST DIME.
00:16:50.80\00:16:53.86
IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN WITHOUT,
YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW GOD.
00:16:53.86\00:16:57.33
YOU ARE CULTURALLY DEPRIVED,
BECAUSE THE WAY YOU REALLY COME
00:16:57.33\00:17:02.66
TO KNOW GOD IS TO RUN OUT.
00:17:02.66\00:17:05.93
THIS WOMAN HAD RUN OUT, AND
SHE SAYS TO HER SON, "LET'S GO
00:17:05.93\00:17:09.10
GATHER ENOUGH TO MAKE A FIRE,
AND WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK
00:17:09.10\00:17:13.96
AND EAT OUR LAST CAKE
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO DIE."
00:17:13.96\00:17:19.80
AND IN THE MIDST OF THAT TRAUMA
COMES A PREACHER WITH A PLAN.
00:17:19.80\00:17:28.03
PLAN DOESN'T SOUND
GREAT AT THE BEGINNING.
00:17:28.03\00:17:31.83
PREACHER SAYS, AND I
WISH YOU COULD CONTEXTUALIZE
00:17:31.83\00:17:35.63
THIS TO YOUR OWN SITUATION.
00:17:35.63\00:17:38.56
SOMETIMES WE BACK AWAY FROM
THE WORD OF GOD, SO WE THINK
00:17:38.56\00:17:41.03
EVERYTHING TO BE NORMAL.
00:17:41.03\00:17:43.90
HERE YOU ARE WITH YOUR ONLY SON,
AND YOU'RE GETTING READY TO EAT
00:17:43.90\00:17:46.93
YOUR LAST MEAL, AND A PREACHER
SHOWS UP AND SAID, "WOULD
00:17:46.93\00:17:50.06
YOU DO ME A FAVOR ?
00:17:50.06\00:17:51.36
WOULD YOU MAKE
THAT LAST CAKE FOR ME ?"
00:17:51.36\00:17:56.96
I'M GIVING YOU TIME, I'M GIVING
YOU TIME, BECAUSE YOU CAN SOUND
00:17:56.96\00:18:02.70
AS HOLY AS YOU WANT TO IN YOUR
HEAD, BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
00:18:02.70\00:18:06.73
WHAT YOU WOULD SAY IF
THAT HAPPENED, YOU KNOW.
00:18:06.73\00:18:10.13
"SIR, I KNOW YOU'RE A
MAN OF GOD AND EVERYTHING.
00:18:10.13\00:18:15.40
MAYBE YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT I TOLD YOU.
00:18:15.40\00:18:17.46
I SAID WE'RE GETTING
READY TO EAT THE LAST CAKE OF
00:18:17.46\00:18:19.83
MEAL THAT WE'VE GOT.
00:18:19.83\00:18:21.60
DID YOU SAY COULD YOU HAVE IT ?
00:18:21.60\00:18:24.23
I DON'T THINK SO."
00:18:24.23\00:18:27.50
SOME OF YOU WOULD NEVER
HAVE SEEN THE MIRACLE BECAUSE
00:18:28.50\00:18:30.56
YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
FAITH TO DO WHAT THAT WOMAN DID.
00:18:30.56\00:18:33.76
IN FACT, YOU'VE GOT TO FORGIVE
ME, I GET WAY INTO THE STORY,
00:18:33.76\00:18:38.00
AND I FEEL THE HEAT
RISING FROM THAT SON'S HEAD.
00:18:38.00\00:18:44.46
"MOM, MOM, CAN I
TALK TO YOU A MINUTE ?"
00:18:45.46\00:18:52.93
"NAW."
00:18:52.93\00:18:54.03
COME ON, COME OVER HERE.
00:18:54.03\00:18:58.80
YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE
THAT PREACHER OUR LAST FOOD ?
00:18:58.80\00:19:02.43
COULDN'T YOU SPLIT IT ?
00:19:02.43\00:19:07.43
I TRY TO BE RELIGIOUS,
TOO, BUT MAMA, IT'S THE
00:19:07.43\00:19:11.23
LAST THING WE'VE GOT.
00:19:11.23\00:19:12.76
I FIGURED WE HAD ONE
MORE MEAL; YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
00:19:12.76\00:19:15.53
GIVE IT TO HIM ARE YOU ?"
00:19:15.53\00:19:17.00
SHE SAID, "WELL, GOD HAS MOVED
ON MY HEART AND GOD IS SAYING
00:19:17.00\00:19:22.40
TO ME THAT I OUGHT TO TAKE
THE CHANCE, TRUSTING NOT IN
00:19:22.40\00:19:26.66
THE PREACHER, BUT IN GOD.
00:19:26.66\00:19:30.76
AND SO, YES, I'M GOING TO
MAKE THE LAST CAKE OF MEAL
00:19:30.76\00:19:35.20
WE'VE GOT AND I'M
GIVING IT TO THE PREACHER."
00:19:35.20\00:19:38.06
"I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
00:19:38.06\00:19:40.93
WISH I COULD BE OVER
THERE WHEN YOU GET IT COOKED,
00:19:40.93\00:19:43.06
BECAUSE I SURE WOULD
BREAK ME A LITTLE PIECE OFF OF
00:19:43.06\00:19:44.80
IT, I'LL TELL YOU THAT."
00:19:44.80\00:19:47.36
BUT SHE DOES IT.
00:19:47.36\00:19:49.80
YOU KNOW, FORGIVE ME,
BUT I REALLY ENJOY THE BIBLE.
00:19:49.80\00:19:54.26
I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN
PLACES AND I'D LIKE TO HAVE
00:19:54.26\00:19:58.16
SAT THERE WITH THAT MOTHER
AND THAT SON AND WATCHED THAT
00:19:58.16\00:20:01.40
MAN EAT THAT CAKE OF BREAD.
00:20:01.40\00:20:08.73
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT
THOUGHTS ARE GOING THROUGH
00:20:08.73\00:20:11.20
YOUR HEAD, BECAUSE
YOU KNOW THAT WIND SHIFTS.
00:20:11.20\00:20:17.03
YOU COULD CATCH THE
AROMA OF THAT THING.
00:20:17.03\00:20:20.30
THINGS START HAPPENING
PHYSIOLOGICALLY THAT YOU
00:20:20.30\00:20:24.66
CAN'T CONTROL, YOU KNOW.
00:20:24.66\00:20:28.40
"MAMA, IT LOOKED GOOD.
00:20:28.40\00:20:30.10
YOU DID A GOOD JOB.
00:20:30.10\00:20:32.56
SMELLS GOOD, TOO.
00:20:32.56\00:20:34.46
BUT THAT'S THE LAST ONE, RIGHT ?
00:20:34.46\00:20:35.73
YOU DIDN'T MAKE ONE FOR ME."
00:20:35.73\00:20:37.20
YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
00:20:37.20\00:20:39.10
AFTER EVERYTHING WAS GONE,
THE MAN OF GOD SAID EVENTUALLY
00:20:39.10\00:20:45.20
"LET'S MAKE ANOTHER CAKE."
00:20:45.20\00:20:48.13
"AH, SIR, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT,
THERE WAS NO MORE MEAL AND
00:20:48.13\00:20:56.30
THERE WAS NO MORE OIL, SO WHAT
YOU SUGGEST IS PREPOSTEROUS.
00:20:56.30\00:21:01.53
WHY DON'T WE JUST
ALL BAND TOGETHER AND DIE
00:21:01.53\00:21:05.00
WITH FAITH IN GOD."
00:21:05.00\00:21:07.06
HE SAID, "YEAH,
BUT YOU DIDN'T HEAR ME.
00:21:07.06\00:21:09.53
WHY DON'T YOU GO
CHECK YOUR MEAL BARREL ?
00:21:09.53\00:21:12.86
WHY DON'T YOU GO
CHECK YOUR OIL CRUSE ?"
00:21:12.86\00:21:15.80
I WISH THEY'D SENT THE BOY,
BECAUSE I LIKE THE FACT OF A
00:21:15.80\00:21:19.43
YOUNG PERSON LEARNING FIRST HAND
WHAT IT IS WHEN YOU TRUST GOD
00:21:19.43\00:21:24.60
WHEN THERE SEEMS LIKE NOTHING.
00:21:24.60\00:21:26.16
I WISH YOUNG PEOPLE COULD KNOW.
00:21:26.16\00:21:28.36
THERE WOULDN'T BE SO MANY TEEN
SUICIDES IF YOUNG PEOPLE COULD
00:21:28.36\00:21:33.00
COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU
OBEY WHAT GOD SAYS, IF YOU JUST
00:21:33.00\00:21:37.30
TAKE GOD AT HIS WORDS, YOU
WILL NEVER RUN OUT OF RESOURCES.
00:21:37.30\00:21:43.10
I WISH THE YOUNG MAN HAD
GONE TO CHECK THE MEAL BARREL,
00:21:43.10\00:21:46.60
BECAUSE I CAN HEAR
HIM IN THERE-"HEY, MAMA !"
00:21:46.60\00:21:49.83
AND HE CHECKS IN THERE AND SEES
WHAT HE KNOWS CAN'T BE AND THEN
00:21:49.83\00:21:53.40
GOES TO THE CRUSE OF OIL AND
SEES WHAT CAN'T BE THERE, BUT
00:21:53.40\00:21:56.73
GOD MAKES THINGS HAPPEN
LIKE THAT ON A REGULAR BASIS.
00:21:56.73\00:22:04.46
SO NOW THIS WOMAN AND
HER SON EAT WHILE THE DROUGHT
00:22:04.46\00:22:11.33
GOES ON, AND THEY
EAT WITH THE MAN OF GOD.
00:22:11.33\00:22:14.76
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT ?
00:22:14.76\00:22:16.16
IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH FAITH IN GOD
TO EXPECT THE IMPOSSIBLE, GOD
00:22:16.16\00:22:21.13
WILL MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE HAPPEN
AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ON A
00:22:21.13\00:22:25.36
TEMPORARY BASIS, IT HAPPENS
FOR AS LONG AS YOU NEED IT.
00:22:25.36\00:22:29.63
I WISH I HAD TIME TO TELL YOU
THAT NOT ONLY DID GOD PROVIDE
00:22:29.63\00:22:32.43
MEAL FOR THEM TO MAKES CAKES
OF MEAL, BUT ONE DAY THE SON
00:22:32.43\00:22:38.23
DIED, AND THE MAN OF GOD, WHO
OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE LEFT THAT
00:22:38.23\00:22:43.36
HOUSE, TOOK THE BOY UP TO HIS
PLACE THAT WAS IN A HIGH PART OF
00:22:43.36\00:22:48.06
THE HOUSE, AND BY THE POWER
OF GOD RESURRECTED THAT CHILD.
00:22:48.06\00:22:53.83
I TELL YOU THAT IF YOU OBEY GOD
IN SMALL THINGS, GOD WILL REWARD
00:22:53.83\00:22:59.36
YOU IN UNBELIEVABLE THINGS.
00:22:59.36\00:23:02.56
ALL THEY WERE PROMISED WAS
FOOD, BUT GOD GAVE THEM BACK
00:23:02.56\00:23:07.46
LIFE-RESURRECTION CAME
BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH.
00:23:07.46\00:23:11.90
I WISH I HAD TIME TO PREACH !
00:23:11.90\00:23:15.96
SO NOW WE LEARN SOMETHING ELSE.
00:23:15.96\00:23:19.73
IF GOD SAYS TO GO TO
ZEREPHETH, GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF
00:23:19.73\00:23:24.63
YOU IN ZEREPHETH.
00:23:24.63\00:23:26.10
I WISH THE WIDOW COULD
HAVE BEEN HERE TONIGHT.
00:23:26.10\00:23:28.70
SHE WOULD HAVE SAID, "OH, YEAH !
00:23:28.70\00:23:30.33
IN FACT, THAT MEAL GOT
TO TASTING BETTER LATER ON.
00:23:30.33\00:23:35.40
THE OIL QUALITY
MAY HAVE IMPROVED.
00:23:35.40\00:23:38.53
I'M NOT SURE, BUT IT
SURE TASTED LIKE IT."
00:23:38.53\00:23:40.86
WHAT MUST YOU THINK WHEN YOU ARE
EATING FOOD THAT DOES NOT EXIST?
00:23:40.86\00:23:47.60
AH, YOUR BRAIN
ISN'T FAST ENOUGH.
00:23:47.60\00:23:49.56
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
RESPOND QUICKER TO THAT.
00:23:49.56\00:23:52.30
BUT IF GOD SENDS YOU TO
ZEREPHETH, THEN YOU WILL BE
00:23:52.30\00:23:54.86
BLESSED AT ZEREPHETH.
00:23:54.86\00:23:56.23
"NOW," GOD SAYS, BEGINNING
CHAPTER 18, "ELIJAH, IT'S TIME
00:23:56.23\00:24:01.83
FOR YOU TO GO AND TELL THEM
I'M READY TO MAKE RAIN COME."
00:24:01.83\00:24:06.43
HERE IS WHAT
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND.
00:24:06.43\00:24:10.16
THE PEOPLE OF GOD, NOT THE
PEOPLE IN THE STREET, THE PEOPLE
00:24:10.16\00:24:14.93
WHO CLAIM THE CLAIM THE GOD
OF HEAVEN, THE PEOPLE WHO SAID
00:24:14.93\00:24:21.36
THAT HE WAS THEIR SOVEREIGN, HAD
COME TO BELIEVE IN OTHER GODS.
00:24:21.36\00:24:29.26
THEY CAME TO BELIEVE THAT
RAIN WAS CAUSED WHEN BAAL, A GOD
00:24:29.26\00:24:35.76
THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH
HIM, WHEN BAAL WAS RESURRECTED,
00:24:35.76\00:24:41.40
THE RAIN CAME.
00:24:41.40\00:24:43.66
THAT'S WHY THE
PEOPLE WORSHIPED BAAL.
00:24:43.66\00:24:47.00
LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING GOD WILL GET STRAIGHT.
00:24:47.00\00:24:50.33
GOD IS JEALOUS FOR HIS OWN NAME.
00:24:50.33\00:24:54.03
IN FACT, I WANT TO GIVE
YOU A LITTLE FREE HINT ON HOW
00:24:54.03\00:24:56.83
TO GET A PRAYER THROUGH.
00:24:56.83\00:24:59.43
IF YOU CAN EVER CONVINCE GOD
THAT HIS ANSWERING YOUR PRAYER
00:24:59.43\00:25:06.10
WILL BRING GLORY TO HIS
NAME, YOUR PRAYER HAS A GREAT
00:25:06.10\00:25:11.16
CHANCE OF BEING ANSWERED.
00:25:11.16\00:25:14.40
SO NOW HERE IS THE QUESTION.
00:25:14.40\00:25:16.96
GOD MUST CONVINCE HIS PEOPLE
THAT THE POWER THAT BRINGS RAIN
00:25:16.96\00:25:21.76
IS NOT FROM SOME STRANGE
GOD; IT IS FROM HIS OWN HAND.
00:25:21.76\00:25:26.50
IT IS GOD WHO
CAUSES THE RAIN TO FALL.
00:25:26.50\00:25:29.56
IT IS GOD WHO TAKES THE WATER
UP FROM THE BODIES OF WATER
00:25:29.56\00:25:33.16
THAT ARE PULLED UP BY THE SUN.
00:25:33.16\00:25:35.43
THEY TURN FROM ONE
SUBSTANCE TO ANOTHER.
00:25:35.43\00:25:38.56
THEY CHANGE INTO A GAS AND
ARE PULLED UP INTO THE AIR.
00:25:38.56\00:25:42.03
AND THEN GOD REDISTRIBUTES
THEM AND THEY COME DOWN IN RAIN,
00:25:42.03\00:25:45.66
AND THE CYCLE GOES
OVER AND OVER--IT'S CALLED
00:25:45.66\00:25:47.90
A HYDROLOGIC CYCLE.
00:25:47.90\00:25:50.43
GOD DIDN'T NAME IT
THAT, HE JUST MADE IT HAPPEN.
00:25:50.43\00:25:54.50
SCIENTISTS NAMED IT, BUT IT
IS GOD WHO TAKES UP MOISTURE AND
00:25:54.50\00:25:59.96
THAT MOISTURE COMES DOWN TO
WATER THE THINGS THAT ARE IN
00:25:59.96\00:26:03.30
YOUR FIELDS, TO WATER THE CROPS.
00:26:03.30\00:26:05.90
PRAISE GOD, SOME COLLARD
GREENS SOMEWHERE ARE NURTURED BY
00:26:05.90\00:26:12.90
MOISTURE THAT COMES FROM GOD.
00:26:12.90\00:26:14.63
IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, THEN
ASK SOMEBODY TOMORROW AND THEY
00:26:14.63\00:26:17.66
WILL EXPLAIN IT TO YOU.
00:26:17.66\00:26:19.06
SO HERE IS MY QUESTION--WILL
GOD GET GLORY FOR HIS NAME ?
00:26:19.06\00:26:23.56
ABSOLUTELY.
