00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.180
 Turn to 2 Kings chapter 6.

00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:04.860
 While you're turning there, I guess I've got a couple questions.

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:05.740
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:30.899
 I've had that happen.

00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:37.980
 And so if you've had that experience, then you might have a little in common with the man

00:00:37.980 --> 00:00:39.140
 that we're going to talk about tonight.

00:00:39.380 --> 00:00:41.159
 Go ahead and stand, if you will, with me.

00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:44.380
 We'll start reading chapter 6.

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:46.100
 We'll read the first seven verses.

00:00:47.939 --> 00:00:48.539
 It says,

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.180
 And he answered,

00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:08.659
 And one said,

00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:12.239
 And he answered,

00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:17.560
 So he went with them, and when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.

00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:25.659
 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water, and he cried and said,

00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:27.739
 Alas, master, for it was borrowed.

00:01:28.399 --> 00:01:29.759
 And the man of God said,

00:01:29.899 --> 00:01:30.640
 Where fell it?

00:01:30.939 --> 00:01:36.819
 And he showed him the place, and he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and the iron did swim.

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:38.420
 Therefore said he,

00:01:38.679 --> 00:01:39.819
 Take it up to thee.

00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.219
 And he put out his hand and took it.

00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:43.079
 Let's pray.

00:01:44.140 --> 00:01:49.259
 Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for everyone that's here tonight, Lord.

00:01:49.579 --> 00:01:52.359
 I just ask that you would bless them for their faithfulness.

00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.379
 Lord, I just ask that you would work in our hearts.

00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.599
 Just let us glean what you have for us tonight.

00:02:00.939 --> 00:02:07.359
 Lord, I just ask that you would let me speak forth your truths found in Scripture.

00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:09.340
 I just thank you, and I love you.

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:10.460
 In Jesus' name, amen.

00:02:10.860 --> 00:02:11.960
 You can go ahead and be seated.

00:02:12.419 --> 00:02:17.460
 So with this being more of a Bible study tonight, that's kind of something I was doing.

00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:26.960
 And the Lord kind of had me going all sorts of different ways with this, and I think we finally got it settled tonight.

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:40.740
 I was doing some studying, and the sons of the prophets, these were usually, these were kind of what I would consider for us to get an idea of would be like Bible college students.

00:02:40.740 --> 00:02:51.860
 These were young men who were devoted to learning Elijah and Elisha, and they wanted to be prophets, and they were kind of disciples, if you will.

00:02:53.140 --> 00:03:00.680
 And so being that I had gone to Bible college, I felt a little more kinship to this individual.

00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.480
 And the first thing I saw here was in verses 1 and 2, and I see the mission.

00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:12.379
 And we start off this chapter with a really good problem, growing pains.

00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:18.039
 They come to Elisha, and they're like, hey, you know, you could say our dorm, it's filling up.

00:03:18.139 --> 00:03:18.819
 We're cramped.

00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:20.359
 We need to expand.

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:27.500
 And we know here at Plains about building projects, and there's always excitement.

00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:29.899
 You can hear the buzz, you know.

00:03:30.299 --> 00:03:31.219
 People are excited.

00:03:31.359 --> 00:03:33.319
 They're envisioning what could be.

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:42.939
 There's also, with that excitement, a lot of times there's an expectation, right, that the project is just going to go flawlessly.

00:03:43.459 --> 00:03:46.199
 And, of course, you plan for things to happen.

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:50.139
 You know, you want efficiency.

00:03:51.419 --> 00:03:54.039
 And the men, they got it all figured out.

00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:55.340
 They go to Elisha.

00:03:55.340 --> 00:03:59.759
 You know, Proverbs 29, 18 tells us where there is no vision, the people perish.

00:04:00.379 --> 00:04:02.379
 And they had a vision, you know.

00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:13.099
 I've been in a guy's dorm, and I remember we had 11 guys in that area, but we only had four showers.

00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:15.340
 So it was constantly a challenge.

00:04:15.980 --> 00:04:19.680
 Someone would leave their stuff in there, and you'd be like, hey, don't leave that stuff in here.

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.180
 You know, and there was always sorts of button heads going on.

00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:27.920
 We only had one washer and dryer, so it was a fight to figure all that out.

00:04:27.980 --> 00:04:29.759
 So I can just imagine these guys are excited.

00:04:30.420 --> 00:04:34.199
 We need a place to build a new area.

00:04:34.780 --> 00:04:42.300
 And no doubt that these guys, they had divine guidance, wise counsel, clear direction.

00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:46.540
 We see here that they understood that it was going to take personal sacrifice.

00:04:46.540 --> 00:04:49.220
 There in verse 2, it says, every man a beam.

00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:56.040
 Everybody was going to grab those lumber after they'd cut them down and work.

00:04:56.140 --> 00:04:58.540
 It was a project that they were all on board with.

00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.780
 And they kind of understood what was going on.

00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:07.439
 I can kind of imagine them even singing, you know, we'll work till Jesus comes.

00:05:07.900 --> 00:05:09.379
 They're full of excitement.

00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:10.180
 Things are happening.

00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:18.240
 And Christ tells us in John chapter 9, verse 4, that we only have a limited time of work.

00:05:18.500 --> 00:05:22.439
 The Bible says that soon it'll be dark and there will be no time to work.

00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:25.939
 Paul writes to Galatians in chapter 6, verse 9,

00:05:26.460 --> 00:05:31.000
 And let us not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.

00:05:31.960 --> 00:05:35.660
 We know that there is work to do, and we've got to stay busy.

00:05:35.660 --> 00:05:43.220
 I think one of the phrases that came to my mind, and especially since I couldn't say it any better,

00:05:43.700 --> 00:05:49.680
 but the English cricketeer who turned missionary, C.T. Studd, he famously said,

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:54.420
 One life will soon be passed, only what's done for Christ will last.

00:05:54.420 --> 00:06:00.360
 And these guys, what they were doing is building that place.

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.420
 They wanted to learn, and everything, you know, this is good.

00:06:05.340 --> 00:06:09.439
 These first two verses, everything's kind of going the way that they want it.

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.540
 In verses 3 and 4, I have the master.

00:06:13.939 --> 00:06:18.100
 We see that these workers were wise because they wanted their master to go with them.

00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:24.340
 They say in verse number 3, they say,

00:06:24.460 --> 00:06:34.600
 Any work independent from our master is a waste.

00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.620
 And beside that, Elisha would be somebody that you would want to be going with you.

00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:45.519
 In just 2 Kings, okay, we're in chapter 6.

00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:52.319
 In just 2 Kings up to this point, Elisha had already performed 11 miracles.

00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.819
 In 2 Kings 2, verse 14, he had parted the Jordan.

00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:04.560
 Chapter 2, verses 18 through 22, there was some poisonous water that he purified.

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:10.839
 I kind of like this one personally, chapter 2, verse 23 and 24.

00:07:11.540 --> 00:07:14.300
 There were some youth mocking him because he was bald.

00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:18.500
 So some she-bears came up and got him, and I was like, hey, amen.

00:07:19.939 --> 00:07:22.100
 God doesn't cover his best furniture, by the way.

00:07:22.939 --> 00:07:30.740
 2 Kings 3, verse 16 through 25, he was able to dig ditches for water for Israel,

00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.500
 and they had victory over the Moabites.

00:07:32.500 --> 00:07:38.720
 Chapter 4, verses 1 through 7, he provided the widow with oil.

00:07:39.019 --> 00:07:43.459
 You know, they all ran and got the empty dishes and kept filling it up.

00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:52.180
 Chapter 4, verse 18 through 37, he raised the dead son of the Shunammite woman.

00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.439
 Verses 38 through 40 of chapter 4, he healed the poisonous pottage.

00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:04.000
 Again, I can kind of feel that was another time he had the sons of the prophets,

00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:07.339
 and they went out and they were putting a stew together,

00:08:07.500 --> 00:08:09.399
 and someone had said that he grabbed some stuff.

00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:10.740
 He didn't know what it was.

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:12.639
 They tossed it in, and people were getting sick.

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:14.620
 And so he healed that.

00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.000
 I can, you know, you're kind of a knucklehead in Bible college.

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:23.720
 2 Kings 4, 42 through 44, he multiplied the loaves.

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:28.240
 2 Kings 5, we see that he healed the leper Naaman.

00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:37.279
 2 Kings 5, verses 25 through 27, he cursed Jehazi and gave him that skin disease.

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:43.039
 So this guy has some experience, some talents behind him,

00:08:43.199 --> 00:08:45.419
 and no wonder they would want him on their side.

00:08:47.259 --> 00:08:53.839
 And I believe in verse 4 there, it says that, well, verse 3, he says he will go.

00:08:53.980 --> 00:08:54.899
 Verse 4, it says,

00:08:54.899 --> 00:09:01.179
 So he went with them, and when they, plural, I believe that's Elisha included,

00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.139
 came to Jordan, they, plural again, cut down wood.

00:09:05.139 --> 00:09:09.059
 I believe he was right there in the thick of it with their growing pains.

00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:14.899
 So many times in our growing pains, God is there too with us.

00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.600
 Sometimes when things are clicking, we may not always notice.

00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:23.699
 But then that's what happens.

00:09:24.819 --> 00:09:30.899
 I can tell you one time when I was working at a previous job,

00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.500
 I was a stump grinder.

00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:37.080
 I just grind out stumps, and I pretty much hated that job.

00:09:38.940 --> 00:09:42.080
 But every day I would try to beat my record

00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:45.500
 and try to get so many stumps done.

00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:51.620
 And I was blessed one day that LES had done a line clearance,

00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:53.580
 and there was 40 stumps.

00:09:53.899 --> 00:09:56.759
 And I was like, oh, man, I'm going to beat everybody

00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.639
 because no one's in the top 40 stumps.

00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:02.000
 And I remember I was grinding away, grinding away,

00:10:02.659 --> 00:10:05.980
 and I had a, we called it the tree trailer.

00:10:06.340 --> 00:10:09.220
 It was not a dump trailer, but I had that, it had three-foot sides,

00:10:09.439 --> 00:10:11.699
 and I had this thing just heaping.

00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.340
 There was so much room I couldn't even get the stump grinder back on there.

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:20.960
 So I knew I was going to have to go back and then hand unload it with a pitchfork.

00:10:21.179 --> 00:10:23.299
 That's why I did not like this part of the job.

00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:25.039
 And so I drove back.

00:10:25.179 --> 00:10:26.199
 It was starting to get dark.

00:10:26.379 --> 00:10:28.959
 And when I came back to the site, which was kind of out in the country,

00:10:29.479 --> 00:10:33.319
 I could not find the key, just this little piece of metal,

00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:34.959
 to get the stump grinder going.

00:10:35.199 --> 00:10:36.000
 It's dark.

00:10:36.539 --> 00:10:37.719
 My back is sore.

00:10:37.899 --> 00:10:38.479
 I'm hungry.

00:10:38.599 --> 00:10:39.359
 I want to go home.

00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.199
 And I can't find the key.

00:10:41.439 --> 00:10:44.419
 And it just kind of ruined my attitude.

00:10:44.620 --> 00:10:45.459
 I let that happen.

00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.620
 In verse 5, this is what happens.

00:10:47.719 --> 00:10:48.659
 We see the mishap.

00:10:49.500 --> 00:10:51.799
 I can imagine these guys at work.

00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.939
 You have one crew over here, and they're felling down the trees.

00:10:56.379 --> 00:10:57.539
 The trees are coming down.

00:10:57.740 --> 00:10:59.199
 You have another crew coming in.

00:10:59.579 --> 00:11:00.620
 They're bucking it up.

00:11:00.699 --> 00:11:02.500
 They're taking all the limbs and branches off.

00:11:02.839 --> 00:11:04.799
 They get carried off to another crew,

00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:07.139
 and they're getting the dimensions for the lumber.

00:11:07.259 --> 00:11:08.000
 They're cutting it up.

00:11:08.379 --> 00:11:11.459
 And you have another crew who are setting the beams and getting everything built.

00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:14.379
 And I can just imagine everything's just running smoothly,

00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:16.959
 and then you hear a cry.

00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:21.759
 You hear this, alas, is the word that he uses.

00:11:23.220 --> 00:11:27.220
 And we don't really use that word, so I had to look it up.

00:11:27.300 --> 00:11:29.180
 I was like, what is this alas?

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:35.400
 And that's an expression for pain, for grief, for distress.

00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:40.120
 I've made a similar sound to that before.

00:11:40.300 --> 00:11:43.160
 If you've ever wrecked your knuckles when you're working,

00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.519
 and you're, ah, you know, it's just, ah.

00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:51.079
 If you've ever maybe had an accident, and you damaged something,

00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:54.299
 you're like, ah, you know, you're like, I can't believe I did that.

00:11:54.719 --> 00:11:59.539
 One time while I was stump grinding, we were taking down these bushes,

00:12:00.100 --> 00:12:02.740
 and it was on kind of like a waterway,

00:12:02.740 --> 00:12:10.680
 and there was like a six-foot drop-off where the, like a retaining wall.

00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.340
 And I was getting, I was working,

00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.759
 and the machine, every now and then it would kind of like do this jump,

00:12:18.299 --> 00:12:20.860
 and it rolled out of my hands.

00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:27.300
 And as the cutting wheel is turning, it hit that wall,

00:12:27.419 --> 00:12:28.600
 and it bounced straight up.

00:12:28.680 --> 00:12:32.159
 And so I'm underneath it, and I just see this machine coming at me.

00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:35.960
 I roll, and it goes right off the six-foot wall.

00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.360
 I made that same, ah!

00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.340
 You know, it's like my boss is going to kill me.

00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:44.419
 Well, this is what the problem this young man was having.

00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:46.220
 He yells, alas!

00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:47.860
 You know, it was borrowed.

00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:49.800
 It wasn't his axe.

00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:55.100
 This time, during this time in Israel,

00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:58.340
 you could basically say they're kind of at like the Bronze Age.

00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:04.120
 They don't have the type of equipment readily available.

00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.300
 It's not like he could have, oh, broke the axe,

00:13:07.379 --> 00:13:09.000
 I'll just drive down to Menards, get a new one.

00:13:09.340 --> 00:13:10.600
 That wasn't the case.

00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:13.539
 I mean, here he is, he's borrowed this,

00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:15.460
 and again, if he's a Bible college student,

00:13:15.460 --> 00:13:18.300
 I was living on Pop-Tarts and ramen.

00:13:18.560 --> 00:13:22.220
 I had no money to borrow tools and equipment,

00:13:22.220 --> 00:13:23.800
 but now you've broke it.

00:13:24.420 --> 00:13:26.780
 I can imagine the pain, the grief,

00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:28.379
 the distress that he's going through.

00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:31.639
 I think it's interesting that Scripture doesn't allude

00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:32.840
 to him being negligent.

00:13:33.139 --> 00:13:35.700
 He wasn't using the equipment improperly,

00:13:35.820 --> 00:13:37.600
 but sometimes things happen.

00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:38.879
 It was an accident.

00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:41.240
 You know, sometimes in our lives,

00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.080
 when we have these growing pains,

00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:45.139
 things happen.

00:13:46.659 --> 00:13:47.700
 It's part of life.

00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:48.740
 It's part of being human.

00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.080
 You know, not only is it a part of being human,

00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:52.340
 it's a part of being Christian,

00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:53.820
 because you're going to get tested.

00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.899
 And if you're a Christian who's trying to strive after God

00:13:58.899 --> 00:14:01.500
 and go above and beyond,

00:14:01.779 --> 00:14:03.379
 then you're asking for it.

00:14:03.580 --> 00:14:04.759
 And that stuff happens.

00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:08.240
 And those are the opportunities that we have for growth.

00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:10.840
 And so this happens.

00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:16.439
 I can understand that he's feeling distressed.

00:14:17.439 --> 00:14:19.379
 And so many times I know in my life,

00:14:19.460 --> 00:14:20.379
 I get that way.

00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:22.000
 I get discouraged.

00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:24.039
 I kind of want to have a pity party.

00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:24.799
 I want to pout.

00:14:25.299 --> 00:14:27.879
 I want to look at how everything is so much better

00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:28.840
 for everybody else.

00:14:29.379 --> 00:14:31.360
 But if you noticed in our text,

00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:32.340
 he didn't do that.

00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:34.480
 He says he goes to the master.

00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:36.740
 So verses six and seven,

00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:37.679
 we see the miracle.

00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:42.000
 Our young man went to his master, Elisha,

00:14:42.539 --> 00:14:43.580
 to solve the problem.

00:14:43.939 --> 00:14:45.700
 And I think we need to take a lesson from that.

00:14:46.779 --> 00:14:47.960
 Elisha calmly asked,

00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:49.480
 where fell it?

00:14:49.659 --> 00:14:52.539
 When it says that he cut down a stick in verse six,

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:53.819
 behind that word,

00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:55.799
 there's a sense of crafting.

00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:57.879
 It's not like he just walked over,

00:14:57.980 --> 00:14:58.620
 grabbed a stick.

00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:01.879
 This is my personal belief.

00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:02.559
 So this,

00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:03.240
 you know,

00:15:03.419 --> 00:15:04.960
 this is the EDB version.

00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.120
 But he's making a new handle for that axe

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.120
 because it's broke.

00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.039
 What good is an axe head without a handle?

00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:16.000
 And so there's probably some time there

00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:17.580
 to craft a good axe handle.

00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:18.860
 And I can just imagine,

00:15:19.019 --> 00:15:21.080
 if I were in this young man's shoes,

00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:21.820
 I'd be like,

00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:23.419
 Elisha,

00:15:23.419 --> 00:15:26.500
 please stop whittling.

00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:28.799
 I borrowed this from my dad

00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:30.000
 and I do not have money.

00:15:30.079 --> 00:15:31.479
 I barely pay my tuition.

00:15:32.299 --> 00:15:32.419
 I,

00:15:32.740 --> 00:15:33.159
 come on,

00:15:33.219 --> 00:15:33.439
 man,

00:15:33.539 --> 00:15:34.799
 I need help.

00:15:35.699 --> 00:15:37.139
 And so many times,

00:15:37.199 --> 00:15:37.299
 though,

00:15:37.319 --> 00:15:38.439
 we get like that with God.

00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:40.579
 We don't understand

00:15:40.579 --> 00:15:42.000
 why he's not working in our time.

00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:43.279
 And you know,

00:15:43.539 --> 00:15:44.459
 most of you know,

00:15:45.379 --> 00:15:47.860
 I've had a pretty big event in my life

00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:49.179
 where I didn't understand,

00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.000
 you know,

00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:52.000
 what God was doing.

00:15:55.379 --> 00:15:55.860
 Basically,

00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:57.639
 starting in 2019,

00:15:58.779 --> 00:16:00.340
 my whole life

00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:02.220
 was starting to really unravel.

00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:05.039
 The church that I was served at

00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:06.840
 and I was a member of for a long time,

00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:09.159
 I got really hurt there.

00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:11.240
 And it was really hard to see

00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.100
 what God was doing.

00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:14.379
 So I leave.

00:16:15.100 --> 00:16:16.320
 I go to another church.

00:16:17.580 --> 00:16:19.340
 And a couple of years later,

00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:20.539
 my dad is killed.

00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:21.940
 Again,

00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:22.419
 I'm wondering,

00:16:23.179 --> 00:16:25.200
 what are you doing,

00:16:25.299 --> 00:16:25.519
 God?

00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:26.919
 You know,

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.539
 I went to Bible college.

00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:29.639
 You know,

00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:30.419
 I go to church.

00:16:31.259 --> 00:16:31.500
 You know,

00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:32.799
 I was helping as the assistant.

00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:34.240
 What is going on?

00:16:35.500 --> 00:16:37.840
 And this is what this young man

00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:38.679
 is feeling like.

00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:40.480
 But then we see the miracle.

00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.799
 He asked where it fell.

00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:45.580
 So the young man took him to the place.

00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:45.860
 He said,

00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:46.840
 this is where it went.

00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:48.680
 Elisha,

00:16:48.820 --> 00:16:50.280
 who'd been crafting this stick,

00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:51.399
 he throws it in.

00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:53.620
 And we see a miracle.

00:16:54.660 --> 00:16:56.080
 The iron floats.

00:16:56.220 --> 00:16:57.960
 The Bible literally says it swims.

00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:01.259
 This is just me again.

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.259
 So this is just my preference.

00:17:04.380 --> 00:17:05.160
 I got to put that out there.

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:06.880
 I personally believe

00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:08.039
 when he threw that stick

00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:08.920
 into the water,

00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:10.360
 the iron came up.

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:12.079
 I personally believe

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:13.579
 that axe became whole.

00:17:14.460 --> 00:17:15.039
 You might be thinking,

00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:15.200
 oh,

00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:15.799
 that's a stretch.

00:17:15.980 --> 00:17:16.140
 Well,

00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:17.140
 iron swam.

00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:17.640
 So,

00:17:17.860 --> 00:17:18.280
 you know,

00:17:18.540 --> 00:17:21.600
 that's what I personally believe.

00:17:22.180 --> 00:17:23.780
 And then I think it made sense

00:17:23.780 --> 00:17:24.620
 to the young man.

00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:26.060
 Wow.

00:17:27.360 --> 00:17:27.860
 You know,

00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:28.740
 it's whole.

00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:30.340
 I bet you it was a better handle

00:17:30.340 --> 00:17:31.300
 than it was before.

00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:34.200
 And you might be thinking,

00:17:34.340 --> 00:17:34.580
 man,

00:17:34.840 --> 00:17:35.540
 Brother Ethan went through

00:17:35.540 --> 00:17:36.759
 his points really fast.

00:17:36.860 --> 00:17:37.000
 Well,

00:17:37.120 --> 00:17:38.620
 we're getting into the meat of it now.

00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:39.480
 But the message,

00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:42.020
 you might be wondering,

00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:42.480
 all right,

00:17:42.520 --> 00:17:42.960
 Brother Ethan,

00:17:43.860 --> 00:17:44.620
 this is a neat,

00:17:45.560 --> 00:17:45.900
 you know,

00:17:45.900 --> 00:17:47.500
 little tidbit here.

00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:48.960
 What's it mean?

00:17:49.820 --> 00:17:50.100
 You know,

00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:51.360
 are we not supposed

00:17:51.360 --> 00:17:52.380
 to loan out our tools?

00:17:53.600 --> 00:17:54.560
 On the flip side,

00:17:54.660 --> 00:17:55.160
 are we not supposed

00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:56.060
 to borrow tools?

00:17:57.060 --> 00:17:57.420
 Oh,

00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:58.000
 I got it.

00:17:58.100 --> 00:17:58.360
 You know,

00:17:59.019 --> 00:18:00.780
 don't build on waterfront property.

00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:03.180
 You know,

00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:04.040
 hire professionals

00:18:04.040 --> 00:18:05.600
 because you get what you pay for.

00:18:06.560 --> 00:18:07.019
 You know,

00:18:07.100 --> 00:18:07.960
 those aren't what

00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.340
 I got out of this.

00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:12.720
 I used to read through Scripture

00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.540
 and I think it's a good thing.

00:18:15.900 --> 00:18:17.160
 But I would always try

00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:17.740
 to figure out,

00:18:18.080 --> 00:18:19.880
 what does this have to do

00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:20.280
 with me?

00:18:21.120 --> 00:18:22.380
 What can I learn from this?

00:18:22.500 --> 00:18:23.180
 What can I apply

00:18:23.180 --> 00:18:24.759
 into my life?

00:18:25.360 --> 00:18:25.519
 You know,

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.220
 what are the do's and don'ts here?

00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:28.600
 And I think those are good things

00:18:28.600 --> 00:18:29.240
 to look for.

00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:31.259
 And it really wasn't

00:18:31.259 --> 00:18:32.060
 until recently,

00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:33.040
 which I feel

00:18:33.040 --> 00:18:33.920
 like a

00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:35.440
 moron,

00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:36.200
 but,

00:18:36.340 --> 00:18:37.259
 you know,

00:18:37.320 --> 00:18:37.920
 God's word

00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:39.820
 really isn't for us

00:18:39.820 --> 00:18:41.360
 necessarily

00:18:41.360 --> 00:18:42.400
 to better ourselves,

00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:43.100
 but it's

00:18:43.100 --> 00:18:43.640
 to get to know

00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:44.540
 who God is.

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:46.180
 And

00:18:46.180 --> 00:18:49.080
 looking at it

00:18:49.080 --> 00:18:49.980
 from that perspective,

00:18:50.580 --> 00:18:51.019
 things

00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:52.180
 became a little more

00:18:52.180 --> 00:18:52.960
 clearer to me.

00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:54.280
 The first thing I noticed

00:18:54.280 --> 00:18:55.960
 was God's providence.

00:18:57.540 --> 00:18:58.200
 If you turn with me

00:18:58.200 --> 00:18:59.480
 to Romans chapter 8,

00:18:59.660 --> 00:19:00.720
 I think so many times

00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:01.680
 we think that God

00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:02.900
 is kind of like a goalie.

00:19:03.040 --> 00:19:04.300
 He's just on the defense.

00:19:04.780 --> 00:19:05.840
 When Satan attacks,

00:19:06.140 --> 00:19:06.320
 you know,

00:19:06.360 --> 00:19:07.380
 God bats it out.

00:19:07.380 --> 00:19:09.720
 But that's not how

00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:10.680
 God,

00:19:11.120 --> 00:19:11.820
 God

00:19:11.820 --> 00:19:13.640
 is so many steps ahead.

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:15.580
 You know,

00:19:15.600 --> 00:19:16.560
 he's orchestrating

00:19:16.560 --> 00:19:17.240
 this whole

00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:18.160
 ordeal.

00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:19.920
 You know,

00:19:20.040 --> 00:19:20.840
 God knew

00:19:20.840 --> 00:19:21.540
 that Elisha

00:19:21.540 --> 00:19:22.420
 was going to be there

00:19:22.420 --> 00:19:23.100
 when it happened.

00:19:24.360 --> 00:19:25.080
 This kid,

00:19:25.340 --> 00:19:26.340
 he didn't know that,

00:19:26.460 --> 00:19:27.420
 but God was already

00:19:27.420 --> 00:19:28.220
 way ahead of him.

00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:29.680
 Romans 8,

00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:30.020
 28,

00:19:31.020 --> 00:19:32.500
 it says,

00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:33.180
 and we know

00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:33.800
 that all things

00:19:33.800 --> 00:19:34.900
 work together for good

00:19:34.900 --> 00:19:36.560
 to them that love God,

00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:37.960
 to them who are the called

00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:39.099
 according to his purpose.

00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:40.879
 For whom he did foreknow,

00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:42.659
 he also did predestinate

00:19:42.659 --> 00:19:43.639
 to be conformed

00:19:43.639 --> 00:19:44.259
 to the image

00:19:44.259 --> 00:19:45.079
 of his son,

00:19:45.639 --> 00:19:46.480
 that he might be

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:47.319
 the firstborn

00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:48.519
 among many brethren.

00:19:48.819 --> 00:19:49.460
 As believers,

00:19:50.299 --> 00:19:51.779
 we don't need

00:19:51.779 --> 00:19:52.619
 the faint

00:19:52.619 --> 00:19:53.579
 during the

00:19:53.579 --> 00:19:55.319
 alas times,

00:19:55.859 --> 00:19:56.839
 during our times

00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:57.480
 of pain,

00:19:57.819 --> 00:19:58.159
 grief,

00:19:58.279 --> 00:19:58.980
 and distress.

00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:01.059
 Why not?

00:20:01.139 --> 00:20:01.759
 Because God

00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:03.279
 has a perfect plan.

00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:05.259
 It's a two-fold plan.

00:20:05.259 --> 00:20:06.720
 It's simple.

00:20:08.619 --> 00:20:09.319
 His glory,

00:20:09.940 --> 00:20:10.819
 our good.

00:20:12.259 --> 00:20:13.859
 His plan for us

00:20:13.859 --> 00:20:15.460
 and our desire

00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:16.259
 should be

00:20:16.259 --> 00:20:17.400
 to be like Christ.

00:20:18.099 --> 00:20:19.059
 If you'll turn with me

00:20:19.059 --> 00:20:20.539
 to Ephesians chapter 1,

00:20:20.740 --> 00:20:21.460
 we'll start reading

00:20:21.460 --> 00:20:22.220
 in verse 4.

00:20:23.819 --> 00:20:24.660
 It says,

00:20:24.660 --> 00:20:26.160
 according as he

00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:27.060
 hath chosen us

00:20:27.060 --> 00:20:27.660
 in him

00:20:27.660 --> 00:20:28.920
 before the foundation

00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:29.660
 of the world,

00:20:29.820 --> 00:20:30.820
 that we should be

00:20:30.820 --> 00:20:32.180
 holy and without blame

00:20:32.180 --> 00:20:33.240
 before him in love,

00:20:33.580 --> 00:20:34.880
 having predestinated us

00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:35.620
 unto the adoption

00:20:35.620 --> 00:20:36.160
 of children

00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:37.000
 by Jesus Christ

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:37.640
 to himself,

00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:39.000
 according to the good

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:39.420
 pleasure

00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:41.220
 of his will.

00:20:41.340 --> 00:20:42.720
 This predestination,

00:20:43.120 --> 00:20:44.740
 it only pertains

00:20:44.740 --> 00:20:45.180
 to us

00:20:45.180 --> 00:20:45.980
 who are saved.

00:20:47.580 --> 00:20:48.700
 I have not been able

00:20:48.700 --> 00:20:49.600
 to find anywhere

00:20:49.600 --> 00:20:50.120
 in Scripture

00:20:50.120 --> 00:20:50.900
 where God

00:20:50.900 --> 00:20:51.920
 predestines people

00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:53.900
 to eternal condemnation.

00:20:54.840 --> 00:20:55.660
 Those people

00:20:55.660 --> 00:20:57.019
 choose to reject

00:20:57.019 --> 00:20:58.039
 Christ

00:20:58.039 --> 00:20:59.380
 and his free gift,

00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:00.259
 his shed blood.

00:21:00.900 --> 00:21:01.360
 Turn with me

00:21:01.360 --> 00:21:02.440
 to John chapter 3

00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:04.580
 just to further

00:21:04.580 --> 00:21:06.279
 drive that point home.

00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:07.480
 As I've gone out

00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:09.500
 and talked to people

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:10.300
 about Christ,

00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:12.100
 there's been several times

00:21:12.100 --> 00:21:12.980
 people will ask,

00:21:13.360 --> 00:21:13.440
 well,

00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:14.100
 how can you serve

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:14.919
 a God that

00:21:14.919 --> 00:21:16.379
 and fill in the blank?

00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:18.480
 I remember one guy,

00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:19.939
 he was Native American

00:21:19.939 --> 00:21:20.679
 and he asked

00:21:20.679 --> 00:21:22.099
 how I could serve

00:21:22.099 --> 00:21:22.519
 a God

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.259
 that allowed

00:21:23.259 --> 00:21:25.719
 so much tragedy

00:21:25.719 --> 00:21:26.159
 to happen

00:21:26.159 --> 00:21:27.419
 to Native American people.

00:21:27.639 --> 00:21:28.119
 I don't have

00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:28.980
 an answer for you.

00:21:30.299 --> 00:21:31.539
 I just asked

00:21:31.539 --> 00:21:32.939
 how come

00:21:32.939 --> 00:21:33.500
 there's so many

00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:34.240
 babies dying

00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:35.299
 because I saw

00:21:35.299 --> 00:21:35.639
 that he had

00:21:35.639 --> 00:21:36.279
 a pro-abortion

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:37.179
 sticker in his window.

00:21:38.959 --> 00:21:39.819
 There's no answer.

00:21:39.959 --> 00:21:40.799
 I'm not God.

00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:42.599
 but I think

00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:43.180
 there's interesting

00:21:43.180 --> 00:21:43.879
 things to know.

00:21:44.099 --> 00:21:44.940
 God already knows

00:21:44.940 --> 00:21:45.500
 this stuff.

00:21:45.659 --> 00:21:46.379
 John chapter 3

00:21:46.379 --> 00:21:46.899
 verse 18

00:21:46.899 --> 00:21:47.379
 getting back

00:21:47.379 --> 00:21:47.940
 to our point.

00:21:48.659 --> 00:21:49.399
 He that believeth

00:21:49.399 --> 00:21:50.000
 on him

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:51.339
 which Jesus Christ

00:21:51.339 --> 00:21:52.319
 is not condemned

00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:53.839
 but he that believeth

00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:55.180
 not is condemned

00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:55.799
 already

00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:56.740
 because he hath

00:21:56.740 --> 00:21:57.319
 not believed

00:21:57.319 --> 00:21:57.879
 in the name

00:21:57.879 --> 00:21:58.359
 of the only

00:21:58.359 --> 00:21:59.539
 begotten Son of God

00:21:59.539 --> 00:22:00.579
 and this is the

00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:01.240
 condemnation

00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:01.919
 that light

00:22:01.919 --> 00:22:03.000
 is come into the world

00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:04.220
 and men love

00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:04.720
 darkness

00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:05.700
 rather than light

00:22:05.700 --> 00:22:06.740
 because their deeds

00:22:06.740 --> 00:22:07.240
 were evil.

00:22:08.059 --> 00:22:08.519
 For everyone

00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:09.579
 that doeth evil

00:22:09.579 --> 00:22:10.559
 hateth the light

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:11.480
 neither cometh

00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:12.159
 to the light

00:22:12.159 --> 00:22:13.159
 lest his deeds

00:22:13.159 --> 00:22:14.319
 should be reproved.

00:22:14.539 --> 00:22:15.859
 God chose us

00:22:15.859 --> 00:22:16.740
 at the beginning

00:22:16.740 --> 00:22:19.799
 we see that

00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:21.319
 in 2 Thessalonians 2

00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:22.259
 13 and 14

00:22:22.259 --> 00:22:23.659
 let's turn there

00:22:23.659 --> 00:22:24.599
 we still got time

00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:25.899
 2 Thessalonians

00:22:25.899 --> 00:22:27.079
 verses 2

00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:28.500
 or chapter 2

00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:29.679
 verse 13 and 14

00:22:29.679 --> 00:22:31.480
 says

00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:32.480
 but we are bound

00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:33.179
 to give thanks

00:22:33.179 --> 00:22:33.539
 always

00:22:33.539 --> 00:22:35.200
 to God for you

00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:35.539
 brethren

00:22:35.539 --> 00:22:36.539
 beloved of the Lord

00:22:36.539 --> 00:22:38.019
 because God

00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:39.019
 hath from the beginning

00:22:39.019 --> 00:22:39.720
 chosen you

00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:40.360
 to salvation

00:22:40.360 --> 00:22:41.299
 through sanctification

00:22:41.299 --> 00:22:42.180
 of the spirit

00:22:42.180 --> 00:22:42.720
 and belief

00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:43.279
 of the truth

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:44.180
 whereunto

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:44.900
 he called you

00:22:44.900 --> 00:22:47.700
 by our gospel

00:22:47.700 --> 00:22:48.339
 to the obtaining

00:22:48.339 --> 00:22:48.920
 of the glory

00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:49.480
 of our Lord

00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:50.240
 Jesus Christ

00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:52.000
 he chose us

00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:53.000
 and those of us

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:53.700
 who responded

00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:56.220
 to his call

00:22:56.220 --> 00:22:58.140
 were justified

00:22:58.140 --> 00:22:59.779
 will be glorified

00:22:59.779 --> 00:23:03.860
 let's turn real quickly

00:23:03.860 --> 00:23:05.380
 to John chapter 17

00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:06.539
 verse 21

00:23:06.539 --> 00:23:09.839
 that they all

00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:10.579
 may be one

00:23:10.579 --> 00:23:11.220
 as thou

00:23:11.220 --> 00:23:11.579
 father

00:23:11.579 --> 00:23:12.259
 are in me

00:23:12.259 --> 00:23:13.000
 and I in thee

00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:14.099
 that they also

00:23:14.099 --> 00:23:14.700
 may be one

00:23:14.700 --> 00:23:15.279
 in us

00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:16.079
 that the world

00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:16.720
 may believe

00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:17.319
 that thou

00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:18.960
 has sent me

00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:20.079
 and the glory

00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:20.859
 which thou

00:23:20.859 --> 00:23:21.579
 gave us me

00:23:21.579 --> 00:23:22.279
 I have given

00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:22.819
 them

00:23:22.819 --> 00:23:23.680
 that they

00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:24.519
 may be one

00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:25.259
 even as we

00:23:25.259 --> 00:23:25.700
 are one

00:23:25.700 --> 00:23:26.619
 I in them

00:23:26.619 --> 00:23:27.159
 and thou

00:23:27.159 --> 00:23:27.639
 in me

00:23:27.639 --> 00:23:28.839
 that they

00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:29.319
 may be

00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:30.399
 made perfect

00:23:30.399 --> 00:23:31.099
 in one

00:23:31.099 --> 00:23:32.000
 and that the world

00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:32.480
 may know

00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:32.920
 that thou

00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:33.659
 has sent me

00:23:33.660 --> 00:23:34.440
 and has loved

00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:34.820
 them

00:23:34.820 --> 00:23:35.580
 as thou

00:23:35.580 --> 00:23:36.000
 has loved

00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:36.320
 me

00:23:36.320 --> 00:23:38.060
 so we

00:23:38.060 --> 00:23:38.360
 already

00:23:38.360 --> 00:23:38.940
 share the

00:23:38.940 --> 00:23:39.259
 glory

00:23:39.259 --> 00:23:39.840
 of God

00:23:39.840 --> 00:23:41.000
 so then

00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:41.540
 why do we

00:23:41.540 --> 00:23:42.220
 get discouraged

00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:43.019
 why do we

00:23:43.019 --> 00:23:43.720
 get frustrated

00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:45.420
 our suffering

00:23:45.420 --> 00:23:45.960
 today

00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:46.860
 only guarantees

00:23:46.860 --> 00:23:47.259
 that much

00:23:47.259 --> 00:23:47.880
 more glory

00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:48.860
 when Christ

00:23:48.860 --> 00:23:49.460
 arrives

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:50.320
 it took me

00:23:50.320 --> 00:23:51.040
 a little while

00:23:51.040 --> 00:23:51.860
 to understand

00:23:51.860 --> 00:23:52.279
 that the

00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:52.920
 heartbreak

00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:53.940
 that I went

00:23:53.940 --> 00:23:54.259
 through

00:23:54.259 --> 00:23:54.660
 at my

00:23:54.660 --> 00:23:55.440
 former church

00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:56.660
 was just

00:23:56.660 --> 00:23:57.400
 God

00:23:57.400 --> 00:23:58.960
 orchestrating

00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:01.460
 the opportunity

00:24:01.460 --> 00:24:02.259
 that I would

00:24:02.259 --> 00:24:02.660
 get to meet

00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:03.259
 my wife

00:24:03.259 --> 00:24:05.480
 I would

00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:05.840
 never would

00:24:05.840 --> 00:24:06.120
 have met

00:24:06.120 --> 00:24:06.259
 her

00:24:06.259 --> 00:24:06.559
 if that

00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:06.819
 hadn't

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:07.180
 happened

00:24:07.180 --> 00:24:07.799
 God

00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:08.299
 just used

00:24:08.299 --> 00:24:08.920
 the person

00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:10.680
 to get

00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:11.620
 that going

00:24:11.620 --> 00:24:12.559
 and I don't

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.180
 I've told

00:24:13.180 --> 00:24:13.579
 my wife

00:24:13.579 --> 00:24:13.980
 this

00:24:13.980 --> 00:24:15.420
 it's done

00:24:15.420 --> 00:24:15.779
 and over

00:24:15.779 --> 00:24:16.160
 with

00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:17.059
 I'm so

00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:17.440
 thankful

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:19.200
 because

00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:20.380
 in Bible

00:24:20.380 --> 00:24:20.900
 college

00:24:20.900 --> 00:24:23.079
 I was

00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:23.559
 praying

00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:24.600
 God

00:24:24.600 --> 00:24:26.039
 I want

00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:26.279
 to have

00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:26.740
 a wife

00:24:26.740 --> 00:24:27.200
 I want

00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:27.360
 to have

00:24:27.360 --> 00:24:27.900
 a family

00:24:27.900 --> 00:24:29.940
 and years

00:24:29.940 --> 00:24:30.620
 you know

00:24:30.619 --> 00:24:31.679
 a decade

00:24:31.679 --> 00:24:32.899
 goes by

00:24:32.899 --> 00:24:33.859
 and I'm

00:24:33.859 --> 00:24:34.279
 still being

00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:34.819
 faithful to

00:24:34.819 --> 00:24:35.139
 the Lord

00:24:35.139 --> 00:24:35.500
 I'm still

00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:35.859
 doing what

00:24:35.859 --> 00:24:36.099
 I need

00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:36.479
 to do

00:24:36.479 --> 00:24:37.699
 and this

00:24:37.699 --> 00:24:37.919
 isn't

00:24:37.919 --> 00:24:38.399
 happening

00:24:38.399 --> 00:24:39.259
 well God

00:24:39.259 --> 00:24:39.959
 was orchestrating

00:24:39.959 --> 00:24:40.399
 it the whole

00:24:40.399 --> 00:24:40.779
 time

00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:41.299
 just like

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:41.959
 God knew

00:24:41.959 --> 00:24:42.899
 that that

00:24:42.899 --> 00:24:43.339
 axe handle

00:24:43.339 --> 00:24:43.979
 would break

00:24:43.979 --> 00:24:44.699
 and Elisha

00:24:44.699 --> 00:24:45.000
 was going

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:45.259
 to be

00:24:45.259 --> 00:24:45.579
 there

00:24:45.579 --> 00:24:47.419
 I just

00:24:47.419 --> 00:24:47.779
 didn't see

00:24:47.779 --> 00:24:48.079
 it at the

00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:48.479
 time

00:24:48.479 --> 00:24:50.319
 and

00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:52.159
 I'm so

00:24:52.159 --> 00:24:54.899
 thick headed

00:24:54.899 --> 00:24:55.519
 just like the

00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:55.959
 children of

00:24:55.959 --> 00:24:56.379
 Israel

00:24:56.379 --> 00:24:57.399
 you know

00:24:57.399 --> 00:24:57.719
 with the

00:24:57.719 --> 00:24:58.059
 business

00:24:58.059 --> 00:24:58.619
 I think

00:24:58.619 --> 00:24:59.059
 to myself

00:24:59.059 --> 00:24:59.779
 oh man

00:24:59.779 --> 00:25:00.379
 Lord

00:25:00.380 --> 00:25:00.980
 we're in

00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:01.620
 the thick

00:25:01.620 --> 00:25:01.940
 of it

00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:02.280
 you know

00:25:02.280 --> 00:25:03.000
 alas

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:04.280
 and you

00:25:04.280 --> 00:25:04.580
 know what

00:25:04.580 --> 00:25:05.240
 God is

00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:06.040
 orchestrating

00:25:06.040 --> 00:25:06.460
 and he's

00:25:06.460 --> 00:25:06.760
 there

00:25:06.760 --> 00:25:07.920
 he knows

00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:08.940
 he knows

00:25:08.940 --> 00:25:09.240
 what's going

00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:09.500
 to happen

00:25:09.500 --> 00:25:09.800
 he's going

00:25:09.800 --> 00:25:10.020
 to take

00:25:10.020 --> 00:25:10.380
 care of

00:25:10.380 --> 00:25:10.580
 it

00:25:10.580 --> 00:25:11.540
 I just

00:25:11.540 --> 00:25:11.780
 have to

00:25:11.780 --> 00:25:12.400
 trust him

00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:13.240
 so that's

00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:13.580
 the first

00:25:13.580 --> 00:25:14.060
 thing I saw

00:25:14.060 --> 00:25:14.320
 in this

00:25:14.320 --> 00:25:14.800
 was God's

00:25:14.800 --> 00:25:15.380
 providence

00:25:15.380 --> 00:25:17.160
 but then

00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:17.580
 secondly

00:25:17.580 --> 00:25:18.980
 God's

00:25:18.980 --> 00:25:19.300
 attention

00:25:19.300 --> 00:25:19.680
 to the

00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:19.860
 little

00:25:19.860 --> 00:25:20.420
 things

00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:21.020
 you might

00:25:21.020 --> 00:25:21.380
 be thinking

00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:21.780
 about this

00:25:21.780 --> 00:25:22.180
 account

00:25:22.180 --> 00:25:22.720
 because I

00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:23.060
 know I

00:25:23.060 --> 00:25:23.440
 was

00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:24.000
 if I'm

00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:24.140
 going to

00:25:24.140 --> 00:25:24.260
 be

00:25:24.260 --> 00:25:24.600
 completely

00:25:24.600 --> 00:25:24.920
 honest

00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:25.300
 with you

00:25:25.300 --> 00:25:25.560
 I was

00:25:25.560 --> 00:25:25.640
 like

00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:25.840
 that's

00:25:25.840 --> 00:25:26.180
 neat

00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:26.740
 that's

00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:27.020
 a cool

00:25:27.020 --> 00:25:27.360
 account

00:25:27.360 --> 00:25:27.900
 you know

00:25:27.900 --> 00:25:28.840
 iron float

00:25:30.380 --> 00:25:30.880
 everything

00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.220
 that you

00:25:31.220 --> 00:25:31.460
 could have

00:25:31.460 --> 00:25:31.680
 put in

00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:32.120
 the Bible

00:25:32.120 --> 00:25:32.800
 and we

00:25:32.800 --> 00:25:33.240
 get this

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:33.600
 story

00:25:33.600 --> 00:25:35.740
 frankly I

00:25:35.740 --> 00:25:36.020
 would like

00:25:36.020 --> 00:25:36.380
 to know

00:25:36.380 --> 00:25:36.640
 a little

00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:37.200
 more about

00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:38.000
 the Garden

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.400
 of Eden

00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:39.180
 what fruit

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:40.160
 really was

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:41.680
 from the

00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:43.260
 tree of

00:25:43.260 --> 00:25:43.620
 knowledge

00:25:43.620 --> 00:25:44.000
 of good

00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:44.420
 and evil

00:25:44.420 --> 00:25:45.380
 I got to

00:25:45.380 --> 00:25:45.620
 thinking

00:25:45.620 --> 00:25:47.360
 it would

00:25:47.360 --> 00:25:47.520
 have been

00:25:47.520 --> 00:25:48.140
 more interesting

00:25:48.140 --> 00:25:48.760
 in my

00:25:48.760 --> 00:25:49.100
 opinion

00:25:49.100 --> 00:25:49.620
 to know

00:25:49.620 --> 00:25:50.620
 what exactly

00:25:50.620 --> 00:25:51.700
 was Jesus

00:25:51.700 --> 00:25:52.180
 writing in

00:25:52.180 --> 00:25:52.600
 the sand

00:25:52.600 --> 00:25:52.920
 when they

00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:53.300
 found that

00:25:53.300 --> 00:25:53.800
 adulterous

00:25:53.800 --> 00:25:54.020
 woman

00:25:54.020 --> 00:25:54.620
 I personally

00:25:54.620 --> 00:25:55.000
 believe it

00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:55.300
 was the

00:25:55.300 --> 00:25:55.660
 names

00:25:55.660 --> 00:25:56.240
 of the

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:56.480
 guilty

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:57.220
 but I

00:25:57.220 --> 00:25:57.360
 don't

00:25:57.360 --> 00:25:57.580
 know

00:25:57.580 --> 00:25:58.280
 I was

00:25:58.280 --> 00:25:58.580
 thinking to

00:25:58.580 --> 00:25:58.880
 myself

00:25:58.880 --> 00:25:59.400
 you know

00:25:59.400 --> 00:25:59.920
 we hear

00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:00.180
 about

00:26:00.180 --> 00:26:01.259
 behemoth

00:26:01.259 --> 00:26:02.140
 unicorn

00:26:02.140 --> 00:26:02.840
 leviathan

00:26:02.840 --> 00:26:03.860
 couldn't

00:26:03.860 --> 00:26:04.080
 we get

00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:04.299
 a little

00:26:04.299 --> 00:26:04.600
 more

00:26:04.600 --> 00:26:05.100
 information

00:26:05.100 --> 00:26:05.640
 I mean

00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:06.019
 the axe

00:26:06.019 --> 00:26:06.180
 head

00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:06.700
 was cool

00:26:06.700 --> 00:26:07.660
 but I

00:26:07.660 --> 00:26:07.759
 mean

00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:07.960
 these

00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:08.100
 are

00:26:08.100 --> 00:26:08.620
 fire

00:26:08.620 --> 00:26:08.980
 breathing

00:26:08.980 --> 00:26:10.240
 underwater

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:10.779
 creature

00:26:10.779 --> 00:26:11.519
 that's

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:12.019
 pretty cool

00:26:12.019 --> 00:26:12.519
 God

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:12.740
 pays

00:26:12.740 --> 00:26:13.039
 attention

00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:13.380
 to the

00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:14.060
 insignificant

00:26:14.060 --> 00:26:15.880
 in chapter

00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:16.539
 5

00:26:16.539 --> 00:26:17.680
 of 2nd

00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:18.160
 Kings

00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:19.200

00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:20.440
 who is

00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:21.500
 the captain

00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:22.360
 of the host

00:26:22.360 --> 00:26:22.840
 of the

00:26:22.840 --> 00:26:23.240
 armies

00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:24.000
 of Syria

00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:26.240
 he's

00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:26.580
 basically

00:26:26.580 --> 00:26:27.220
 the general

00:26:27.220 --> 00:26:27.860
 of the

00:26:27.860 --> 00:26:28.220
 enemy

00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:29.220
 enemy

00:26:29.220 --> 00:26:29.660
 and he's

00:26:29.660 --> 00:26:30.000
 sick

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:30.860
 and he

00:26:30.860 --> 00:26:31.160
 comes

00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:31.380
 and he

00:26:31.380 --> 00:26:31.880
 gets healed

00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:32.339
 by

00:26:32.339 --> 00:26:32.839
 Elisha

00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:33.680
 and you

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:33.900
 know what

00:26:33.900 --> 00:26:34.400
 happens

00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:35.620
 the king

00:26:35.620 --> 00:26:36.059
 of Israel

00:26:36.059 --> 00:26:36.579
 starts getting

00:26:36.579 --> 00:26:37.000
 scared

00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:38.120
 he's like

00:26:38.120 --> 00:26:38.600
 what is that

00:26:38.600 --> 00:26:38.980
 guy doing

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:39.400
 here

00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:40.920
 we're gonna

00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:41.460
 get attacked

00:26:41.460 --> 00:26:42.480
 we are about

00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:42.740
 to get

00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:43.140
 attacked

00:26:43.140 --> 00:26:44.079
 and there's

00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:44.880
 chaos brewing

00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:45.960
 you read the

00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:46.500
 rest of chapter

00:26:46.500 --> 00:26:46.960
 6

00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:47.360
 guess what

00:26:47.360 --> 00:26:47.799
 happens

00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:49.019
 Syria

00:26:49.019 --> 00:26:49.640
 comes

00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:50.519
 and they're

00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:50.799
 ready

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:51.880
 to attack

00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:53.180
 and you see

00:26:53.180 --> 00:26:53.960
 another miracle

00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:54.600
 performed

00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:56.039
 one of the

00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:56.299
 servants

00:26:56.299 --> 00:26:56.719
 comes to

00:26:56.719 --> 00:26:57.219
 Elisha

00:26:57.219 --> 00:26:58.019
 and he's

00:26:58.019 --> 00:26:58.480
 scared

00:26:58.480 --> 00:26:59.759
 and Elisha

00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:00.619
 blinds the

00:27:00.619 --> 00:27:00.919
 army

00:27:00.919 --> 00:27:02.480
 we have

00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:02.939
 all this

00:27:02.939 --> 00:27:03.500
 chaos

00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:04.319
 all this

00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:05.699
 war

00:27:05.699 --> 00:27:06.579
 going on

00:27:06.579 --> 00:27:07.219
 and God

00:27:07.219 --> 00:27:07.839
 breaks

00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:09.159
 to give us

00:27:09.159 --> 00:27:09.839
 a story

00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:10.579
 about a

00:27:10.579 --> 00:27:10.939
 nun named

00:27:10.939 --> 00:27:11.379
 man

00:27:11.379 --> 00:27:12.299
 with his

00:27:12.299 --> 00:27:12.759
 axe

00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:15.859
 how important

00:27:15.859 --> 00:27:16.519
 are we

00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:17.919
 God says

00:27:17.919 --> 00:27:18.139
 that he

00:27:18.139 --> 00:27:18.599
 takes care

00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:18.859
 of the

00:27:18.859 --> 00:27:19.339
 sparrow

00:27:19.339 --> 00:27:20.579
 he dresses

00:27:20.579 --> 00:27:21.339
 the lily

00:27:21.339 --> 00:27:22.500
 he knows

00:27:22.500 --> 00:27:23.039
 the hair

00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:23.539
 on our

00:27:23.539 --> 00:27:23.959
 heads

00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:24.980
 some

00:27:24.980 --> 00:27:25.279
 of it's

00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:25.740
 easier

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:25.940
 than

00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:26.200
 others

00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:26.920
 but he

00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:27.240
 knows

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:27.519
 those

00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:27.960
 things

00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:28.539
 that's

00:27:28.539 --> 00:27:28.640
 how

00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:29.079
 important

00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:29.340
 you

00:27:29.340 --> 00:27:29.660
 are

00:27:29.660 --> 00:27:30.700
 he

00:27:30.700 --> 00:27:31.360
 sees

00:27:31.360 --> 00:27:31.519
 what

00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:31.680
 you're

00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:32.000
 going

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:32.319
 through

00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:33.840
 and

00:27:33.840 --> 00:27:35.140
 sometimes

00:27:35.140 --> 00:27:35.519
 I look

00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:35.819
 around

00:27:35.819 --> 00:27:36.100
 and I

00:27:36.100 --> 00:27:36.380
 see all

00:27:36.380 --> 00:27:37.180
 the chaos

00:27:37.180 --> 00:27:37.940
 in our

00:27:37.940 --> 00:27:38.319
 world

00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:39.819
 and sometimes

00:27:39.819 --> 00:27:40.420
 I really

00:27:40.420 --> 00:27:40.940
 have to

00:27:40.940 --> 00:27:41.799
 rein myself

00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:42.039
 in

00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:42.319
 because I'm

00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:42.680
 like what

00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:42.960
 is the

00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:43.319
 point

00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:43.980
 there's

00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:44.360
 so much

00:27:44.360 --> 00:27:44.779
 evil

00:27:44.779 --> 00:27:45.200
 so much

00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:45.900
 wickedness

00:27:45.900 --> 00:27:46.680
 but you

00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:47.120
 know God

00:27:47.120 --> 00:27:47.720
 knows that

00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:48.039
 and he's

00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:48.480
 taking care

00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:48.720
 of the

00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:48.920
 little

00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:49.440
 things

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:50.279
 when we

00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:50.940
 like the

00:27:50.940 --> 00:27:51.259
 man in

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:51.400
 our

00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:51.779
 text

00:27:51.779 --> 00:27:52.460
 learn to

00:27:52.460 --> 00:27:52.660
 just

00:27:52.660 --> 00:27:53.460
 give it

00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:53.700
 to our

00:27:53.700 --> 00:27:54.140
 master

00:27:54.140 --> 00:27:55.700
 don't

00:27:55.700 --> 00:27:55.920
 worry

00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:56.220
 about

00:27:56.220 --> 00:27:56.500
 it

00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:57.620
 God

00:27:57.620 --> 00:27:57.900
 makes

00:27:57.900 --> 00:27:58.380
 a way

00:27:58.380 --> 00:28:00.220
 would you

00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:00.539
 have ever

00:28:00.539 --> 00:28:00.980
 guessed

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:01.860
 that he

00:28:01.860 --> 00:28:02.100
 would have

00:28:02.100 --> 00:28:02.440
 made the

00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:02.720
 iron

00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:03.220
 swim

00:28:03.220 --> 00:28:04.559
 no

00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:05.620
 but God

00:28:05.620 --> 00:28:06.019
 has a way

00:28:06.019 --> 00:28:06.319
 to do

00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:06.700
 that

00:28:06.700 --> 00:28:08.840
 throughout

00:28:08.840 --> 00:28:09.400
 scripture

00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:11.460
 do you

00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:11.460


00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:11.460


00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:11.640
 think

00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:11.880
 he would

00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:12.019
 have

00:28:12.019 --> 00:28:12.920
 closed

00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:13.220
 up

00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:13.620
 the

00:28:13.620 --> 00:28:14.100
 lion's

00:28:14.100 --> 00:28:14.360
 mouth

00:28:14.360 --> 00:28:14.620
 for

00:28:14.620 --> 00:28:14.960
 Daniel

00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:16.040
 God

00:28:16.040 --> 00:28:16.320
 did

00:28:16.320 --> 00:28:16.519
 it

00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:16.620
 it

00:28:16.620 --> 00:28:16.860
 was

00:28:16.860 --> 00:28:17.120
 already

00:28:17.120 --> 00:28:17.540
 handled

00:28:17.540 --> 00:28:18.500
 I

00:28:18.500 --> 00:28:18.620
 think

00:28:18.620 --> 00:28:18.820
 about

00:28:18.820 --> 00:28:19.259
 Joseph

00:28:19.259 --> 00:28:19.960
 getting

00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:20.340
 sold

00:28:20.340 --> 00:28:20.580
 into

00:28:20.580 --> 00:28:21.060
 slavery

00:28:21.060 --> 00:28:21.960
 twice

00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:23.200
 and now

00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:23.380
 he's

00:28:23.380 --> 00:28:23.800
 rotting

00:28:23.800 --> 00:28:24.340
 in prison

00:28:24.340 --> 00:28:25.080
 he might

00:28:25.080 --> 00:28:25.259
 be

00:28:25.259 --> 00:28:25.519
 thinking

00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:25.900
 what

00:28:25.900 --> 00:28:26.080
 is

00:28:26.080 --> 00:28:26.300
 going

00:28:26.300 --> 00:28:26.680
 on

00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:27.400
 but

00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:27.600
 God

00:28:27.600 --> 00:28:27.740
 had

00:28:27.740 --> 00:28:28.300
 orchestrated

00:28:28.300 --> 00:28:28.759
 all

00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:28.920
 of

00:28:28.920 --> 00:28:29.160
 that

00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:29.380
 so

00:28:29.380 --> 00:28:29.500
 that

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:29.660
 his

00:28:29.660 --> 00:28:30.019
 family

00:28:30.019 --> 00:28:30.220
 could

00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:30.380
 be

00:28:30.380 --> 00:28:30.900
 fed

00:28:30.900 --> 00:28:31.840
 essentially

00:28:31.840 --> 00:28:32.320
 saving

00:28:32.320 --> 00:28:32.500
 the

00:28:32.500 --> 00:28:32.780
 world

00:28:32.780 --> 00:28:33.019
 because

00:28:33.019 --> 00:28:33.259
 Egypt

00:28:33.259 --> 00:28:33.540
 was

00:28:33.540 --> 00:28:33.700
 the

00:28:33.700 --> 00:28:34.380
 powerhouse

00:28:34.380 --> 00:28:34.940
 feeding

00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:34.940


00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:35.500
 everybody

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:36.759
 all

 control

00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:41.279
 and

00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:44.180
 he's

00:28:44.180 --> 00:28:44.420
 caring

00:28:44.420 --> 00:28:44.720
 for

00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:45.000
 us

00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:45.180
 because

00:28:45.180 --> 00:28:45.299

00:28:45.299 --> 00:28:45.519
 says

00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:45.660

00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:51.920
 bow

00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:52.059

00:28:52.059 --> 00:28:52.259
 heads

00:28:52.259 --> 00:28:52.420

00:28:52.420 --> 00:28:52.559
 me

00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:52.779

00:28:52.779 --> 00:28:53.059
 pray
