This past Thursday night. 55 00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:36,300 I took the kids out to Shopko. While my wife was at ladies 56 00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:42,800 meeting and my main objective was to get anniversary card. 57 00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:50,100 For my wife. However, since this wasn't the 58 00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:53,300 first trip that me and the kids had ever taken the Shopko. 59 00:03:55,900 --> 00:04:00,000 They were a little gung-ho about the possibility of maybe looking 60 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,100 around. Particularly, maybe in a certain 61 00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:10,800 section. Of the store called toys. 62 00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:17,899 And so in preparations for leaving that night, coach were 63 00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:24,300 being put on shoes were found and placed on their feet. 64 00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:27,400 What some seem like the 10th time that has already happened 65 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,800 that day. And in addition, as they were 66 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,000 getting ready, nice getting ready. 67 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,500 And I could hear the little talk, go back and forth between 68 00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:37,200 the kids. I could hear Mariah coaxing 69 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,300 Trevor to join any spare change that he had. 70 00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:48,800 With hers, because they're going to Shopko. 71 00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:54,000 We arrived at the store and as you would probably leave, my 72 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,400 first priority is to go and I told them this, I said the first 73 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,000 thing we're going to do is go to the cards. 74 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,800 I said because I need to get a car for your mom and our 75 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,900 anniversary. And so first priority, we found 76 00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:07,700 ourselves there as soon as you walk into the store and the card 77 00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:11,300 section and we browsed there till we found the appropriate 78 00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:15,500 perfect card for my dear wife. And then it was shortly 79 00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:19,600 thereafter. We made our trip back to the toy 80 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,000 section and the Scene began. And I knew as only a father can 81 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000 know that probably compiled in the funds that they would have 82 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,500 and Mariah's back back or that little thing that she brought 83 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,400 with change that, that would be very minimal. 84 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,000 Probably what they had because see what they got out of there 85 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:46,300 is what they took from us. So, I knew that they were 86 00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:52,900 dealing with a minimal amount of funds in order to, to spend, if 87 00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:55,500 you will at Shopko in the toy section. 88 00:05:55,500 --> 00:06:00,100 So with the wisdom of the father that I have, I directed them to 89 00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:04,900 these plastic bins, the 12 dollar, three dollar toys that 90 00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:08,200 were in Shopko and they started going through there. 91 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,900 And there were certain things that seem to be pleasing to 92 00:06:10,907 --> 00:06:12,500 them. And boy, that's cool. 93 00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:16,000 Look at that all. They've seen him gazillion 94 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,300 times, you know, really enamored with all of these, you know, 95 00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:22,100 toys and so they're looking in there and they're searching 96 00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:24,700 around and their hands are lingering and they're kind of 97 00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:28,200 holding on to some things. And and so, as they find 98 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,600 interest in these certain things, one or two things. 99 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,300 I had an afterthought brother Mason. 100 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,400 I might need to count how much money they really brought. 101 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,300 Because interest or being peaked in that things are staying in 102 00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:45,900 hands. And so I am, right. 103 00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:48,900 Let me look in your bag and I looked in her bag and I begin to 104 00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,200 count out the money here and there and I finally got to a 105 00:06:52,207 --> 00:06:56,800 tally of a grand total summation between murmur Ian Trevor of 106 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:05,900 about 87 or 88 cents. Now, my priority was a card, it 107 00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:11,100 wasn't them getting a toy. And so to their disappointment, 108 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,300 I informed them under. This is me. 109 00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:16,900 Now. I informed them while they have 110 00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:18,700 these two little Goods or whatever. 111 00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:20,500 It is in their hand. I am formed them. 112 00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:27,000 You do not have enough money. For even one of those items that 113 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,100 you've got in your hand and immediately brother Mason. 114 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:37,100 I am dealing with the sorry of spaces that you've ever seen in 115 00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:41,700 your life bummed out kids. The thought they were going home 116 00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:43,800 with a toy. They were crestfallen. 117 00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:46,800 They were disappointed. Amen. 118 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,200 Passivity Now, set in where they were rambunctious passivity. 119 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,700 I'm trying to drag them to the next aisle. 120 00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:55,900 You know shoes are just dragging on the floor. 121 00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:59,000 The shoulders are just bent over a man. 122 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,200 I'm trying to coax him just to another place. 123 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:06,600 Just to look you understand that all of that's been deflated and 124 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:12,400 then out of nowhere a bright idea happen, and it was not 125 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,100 mine. All of a sudden as 126 00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:20,200 matter-of-factly if you will as possible. 127 00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:26,700 Mariah suggest that I asked, if the store would take less money 128 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:34,000 for those items. And she was serious. 129 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,900 And I was thinking sister Maggie. 130 00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:45,300 She has been on too many trips with her mom to the Goodwill and 131 00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:53,000 to the yard sales. And I said sis that may work at 132 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,300 the Goodwill and that might work at a yard sale, but that's not 133 00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:01,000 going to work here. Now. 134 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,700 I didn't know that for his matter of fact, but I was pretty 135 00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:07,200 convinced that what's not going to work at Shopko. 136 00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:16,200 See in her mind her Mind's Eye. She thought, man, we got a 137 00:09:16,208 --> 00:09:19,000 margin of Leverage here that we can deal with. 138 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,600 I mean, that's, that's not their lowest price. 139 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,600 We can deal with this and I see my mind, you know, well, 140 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,100 Goodwill and yard sale on all these other places men. 141 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,400 Those places have a stigma for that type of thing, you know, 142 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,100 they have a character for having, you know, a little 143 00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:38,600 margin of adjustment or little margin the flux that's in there, 144 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,600 you know, any price. It's on the People's debatable. 145 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,100 If my wife's, there. It is. 146 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,000 Every price, any labels. They God, it's debatable because 147 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,300 they're interested in selling something or maybe they're 148 00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:54,000 interested in getting rid interested in getting rid of 149 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,400 something more so than they are valuing what they have. 150 00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:04,900 Valuing what they have if you will a non-negotiable price for 151 00:10:04,900 --> 00:10:09,800 a profit. See the moment just just, just 152 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,500 walk with me here, just for a moment. 153 00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:15,600 The moment someone publishes an ad for an item at a hundred 154 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:23,400 dollars and they Place those three letters ob0 after it. 155 00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:27,300 They have opened the door for negotiation. 156 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,200 They've opened the door for negotiation and perhaps have 157 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,500 already forfeited. Their hundred dollar sell price. 158 00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:39,600 Because unless they're dealing with me, I just feel bad, you 159 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,800 know, something in Nickel, Dime people, you know, that's 10 160 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,100 cents. Would you take a nickel for 161 00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:46,800 that? I can't do that. 162 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,400 It's already a dime. I mean, what more do you want 163 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,100 them to pay you for taking it? Not yet. 164 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,100 My wife will do it every day the week and I'm hiding over in the 165 00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:57,400 bush somewhere. I just can't, you know, you 166 00:10:57,500 --> 00:10:59,200 that's a double you take a nickel for that. 167 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,100 I mean, Kim, can you take three and a half pennies? 168 00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:03,500 Let me get out my water wire cutters and what could it? 169 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,600 And I just don't have feelings to be able to do that. 170 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,100 But but, you know, if it's $100 $100 to me, that's what they 171 00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:13,300 said. But some people, whenever you 172 00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:16,900 put that 0, B 0 at the end, that means, Some negotiation room. 173 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,500 That means that you're not necessarily sold on that mount, 174 00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:23,400 you may take perhaps a little bit less and for that matter. 175 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,400 And this this kind of goes contrary to the thought pattern. 176 00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:29,700 I don't believe there's anybody that has a right to complain 177 00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:34,700 about if they'll take less for an item, if they've included or 178 00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:37,800 best offer. Maybe just doesn't seem to 179 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,400 figure saying $100 or bid offer and they're saying, would you 180 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,200 take 95? Well, don't get mad at him, you 181 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,800 know, don't get mad at them for asking 95 if you said or best 182 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,800 offer. Amen, but from the realm of the 183 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,400 natural to the spiritual. All right, we've had a laughs 184 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,300 the realm of the natural to the spiritual in many instances. 185 00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:02,800 We've set ourselves up. Hit our whoop, dog. 186 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:10,300 We set herself up as the church for multiple tax because we've 187 00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:14,700 disclaimed are allegiances to God to the church, our 188 00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:18,500 commitments to God, our commitments to the church with 189 00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:27,400 an old bo at the end of them. Will be showed out to Value it 190 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,400 and prize it. But the moment, something a 191 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:36,200 little better. A better offer a new opera on 192 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,500 the table comes by, then. We're willing to let go. 193 00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:42,500 So what we called our commitment, what we called our 194 00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:47,400 Allegiance because in our eyes something better has come along 195 00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:51,200 the way for that matter. The enemy of our show is always 196 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,100 trying to find and believes that everybody. 197 00:12:54,300 --> 00:13:01,200 Has a sell-out price.

You have your Allegiance, 200 00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:08,600 totally to God. When you say, you're totally 201 00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:12,100 given to the Lord. He believes that everybody has a 202 00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:15,000 sellout price and he is on a trip. 203 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,300 He is on a journey trying to find our sell-out price. 204 00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:24,500 Someone say, Amen. That was the story of job. 205 00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:29,200 That was the story that whenever the sons of God came to Either 206 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,200 Before the Throne Room of God, that Satan also came among them 207 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:39,600 and it was in that interchange that God asked, Satan Satan. 208 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,100 What are you doing?

Somebody hear me today because 252 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,200 there have been a multitude too many illustrations and examples 253 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,300 that we don't have time to talk about. 254 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,500 A people that said, they were committed a people that said 255 00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:21,000 they were sold out to God, but somewhere in there, walk in the 256 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,500 relationship and OB or a better offer. 257 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,000 To their minds intellect, a better offer to the sweeping 258 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,100 motion of the heart, came down the line and they sold out a 259 00:16:32,100 --> 00:16:34,900 man. They sold out that which has no 260 00:16:34,900 --> 00:16:39,600 measure of value or worth in this world to the world. 261 00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:43,500 Someone came in, not going to hear anything new tonight, but 262 00:16:43,500 --> 00:16:45,900 you'll hear something old.

The priest when an older kid was 266 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,800 trying to take advantage of a younger one. 267 00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:04,800 You know, the type of individual I'm talking about trying to 268 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,400 trade. The young kid three dollars or 269 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:14,500 three quarters for a dollar. Hey Brother. 270 00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:16,099 The priest has probably been that person. 271 00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:19,400 Hey buddy.

Early, in their education. 277 00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:46,400 I can count. One, two, three, four, five. 278 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,000 I can count 906 is higher than 5 quantity, is there in their mind 279 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,200 more so than value? Let me tell you, I think 280 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,900 sometimes the same system has entered into the world of the 281 00:17:57,900 --> 00:17:59,800 church. Hey, man, and there's some 282 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,600 unhealthy trades that are going on because you're dealing People 283 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,800 that don't understand value. They don't understand what they 284 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,200 got. You know the people that's going 285 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,100 around looking for antiques and going to all the yard sales 286 00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:16,900 looking for the deal. They're trying to find something 287 00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:19,300 underpriced. The trying to find something 288 00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:20,800 that's a deal. In other words. 289 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,800 It's more valuable than that, but they're selling it for Less. 290 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,500 Why are they doing that? They don't understand that. 291 00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:29,200 Al you, they don't understand what they got. 292 00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:33,600 That's right. But reason why these people are 293 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,000 going around there said that those little sessions and 294 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,600 they're starting to find out how much is this worth and they're 295 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,100 finding in their attics, but they are millionaires because of 296 00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:45,000 the Antiques and heirlooms that have been given to them, but 297 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,100 they never knew it because they didn't understand the value of 298 00:18:48,100 --> 00:18:49,900 it. I'm here to tell this church 299 00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:52,600 tonight. You need to understand the value 300 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,200 of what you possess. Don't undersell it for that 301 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,400 better, buy the truth and sell it. 302 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,400 Not, it's too valuable. There's not a better. 303 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,400 Offer to what you've already got. 304 00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:25,200 There is no better offer. Hallelujah, hallelujah. 305 00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:34,000 It was that that chronic misunderstanding value. 306 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:41,600 That brought a nation of Israel. Out from under a theocracy. 307 00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:49,200 A god rule out from, under a theocracy of God, rule to be 308 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,800 placed under a monarchy of the first king Shaw. 309 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,700 Yes. Other nations around them had a 310 00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:03,800 king, but you can't improve on God. 311 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,300 I'll go break a chain. You can't improve on God. 312 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,900 You can't improve on his message. 313 00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:17,500 You can Improve on this truth. There's not a better. 314 00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:19,700 You got the best. There is. 315 00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:33,500 So we entered in, we enter a time of the Kings a time that is 316 00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:36,600 perhaps a little better than most concerning the kings that 317 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,900 God has stationed in 2nd Samuel, 15, A King by the name of David 318 00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:47,200 who was attributed as a man. That was after God's Own Heart 319 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,000 serving. In that capacity. 320 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,100 David has a son, many sons, but one in particular, I wish to 321 00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:57,300 talk about David. A son by the name of absolon. 322 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,900 The story of Absalom up to this point of time. 323 00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:05,000 If I may highlight it very briefly is that Absalom has 324 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,100 already killed. His half-brother emlyn because a 325 00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:14,500 man took advantage of his sister Tamar have seems already killed 326 00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:17,400 his half-brother as a result of that. 327 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,100 He has escaped to the land of guests. 328 00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:23,500 Sure. He has the WEP there already for 329 00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:26,800 three years. Not being allowed to return 330 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,100 home, not being beckoned harassed, even to come home. 331 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,100 Finally. He is allowed that hand and 332 00:21:34,100 --> 00:21:39,100 invitation is given for him to come back home to Jerusalem, but 333 00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:43,700 for two years, he remains at Jerusalem without ever being 334 00:21:43,700 --> 00:21:47,200 beckoned to the throne room of the king, which happened to be 335 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,400 his dad for two years. He's, they're prohibited from 336 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,400 seeing and experiencing the presence. 337 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,700 Of the king yet. Finally, we come up on the time 338 00:21:58,700 --> 00:22:04,000 frame when he has just recently received the allowance. 339 00:22:04,300 --> 00:22:10,000 He meant to get access back to his father, access back to the 340 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,600 king and so Absalom. Now, he's been gone. 341 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,100 He meant outside of that realm. If you will, although back in 342 00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:19,600 Jerusalem for two years. He's really been separated from 343 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:25,200 it for about five years. Five years, not in the king's 344 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,400 presence then have access to the king. 345 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,400 Probably had to stay a good distance. 346 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,200 If you will from certain places, just didn't want him around, but 347 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,100 now he's back in cahoots. If you will, he can Meander 348 00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:41,200 among the gates of the city here and there and the Bible tells, 349 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,600 the story of Absalom that Absalom would go down to the 350 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,900 gate of the city and he would stand there. 351 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,600 And as the people of Israel would come to the king with 352 00:22:53,100 --> 00:22:55,900 Reverse C and their life controversy with another 353 00:22:55,900 --> 00:22:59,900 brother, a controversy with another sister, some problem in 354 00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:03,600 their life and they were taking it to the King has, they were 355 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,300 approached him the city where the king resided, there was 356 00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:11,100 Absalom at The City Gate and Absalom would call to them. 357 00:23:11,100 --> 00:23:15,000 Say, hey, why don't you come over here for a little moment? 358 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,100 What's going on?

Whether we are not. 368 00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:53,300 If I do not write it, so I asked them. 369 00:23:53,300 --> 00:23:55,600 Here's the controversy don't know if they're right or wrong. 370 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,700 And the Bible says, according to Absalom. 371 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,900 He was telling them. He said your matters are good. 372 00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:07,300 Your matters are right. Well, honey, that appeals to 373 00:24:07,300 --> 00:24:09,000 somebody. That's right. 374 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,200 In the middle of controversy. Whenever you're telling them, 375 00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:14,600 you can feel Justified, the feel the way you do. 376 00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:18,900 You're right. You doing good. 377 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,000 This matter is. Okay. 378 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,300 And so that appeal to the heart of the people. 379 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,200 If I could go a little step further, Absalom is telling 380 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,200 these people that's part of the kingdom of David. 381 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,800 You honey. You're not being heard like you 382 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,600 need to be heard. You're not being hurt. 383 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,700 Like you need to her. You're not getting Justice Done 384 00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:44,700 For This controversy, you know, him what? 385 00:24:44,700 --> 00:24:48,300 You just turn the other cheek or just make amends for something 386 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,400 that you feel like someone else has done wrong. 387 00:24:50,500 --> 00:24:53,000 He's expecting too much from you. 388 00:24:55,900 --> 00:24:58,700 What's going on? I tell you what's going on. 389 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,800 David's. Own son has become an enemy of 390 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,700 his kingdom and an enemy of his kingship and Tapping. 391 00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:09,100 He standing outside the perimeter of the Kingdom, people 392 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,500 that are disgruntled and people that are upset and he's starting 393 00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:15,200 to find try to find their bargaining price. 394 00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:22,800 He said, you, you've honored and declared David to be your king 395 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,900 and he's the renowned one and he's the great one and when it 396 00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:27,700 restarts tell him, hey, you know what? 397 00:25:27,700 --> 00:25:30,400 You are writing your matter. You're not being heard. 398 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,600 You're not getting Justice. There's just too much expected 399 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,000 of you. You know what he's doing. 400 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:44,000 He seeing if he can find a0, b0 in their story. 401 00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:46,400 The Bible says the Absalom did this. 402 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,200 He practiced. Is almost on a daily thing. 403 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,000 People had pledged their allegiance to the king, given 404 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,900 their shoulder to the king given their time talent and ability to 405 00:25:55,900 --> 00:25:57,100 the king. Now. 406 00:25:57,100 --> 00:25:59,500 The enemy is there. It happened to be a son, but the 407 00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:02,600 enemy is there. They said I want to know if I'd 408 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,800 offer you something else. Would you take it? 409 00:26:05,900 --> 00:26:08,200 If I'd offer you something else, would you get on it? 410 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:14,300 And the Bible says that Absalom stole the hearts of the People 411 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,600 by doing this. In other words, he scratched 412 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:24,300 them where they were itching. You might be flat from today and 413 00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:27,900 say you don't have or best offer, but like controversy 414 00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:35,500 under your life. Let controversy in real life. 415 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,200 Let's it, let you just listen to me. 416 00:26:39,300 --> 00:26:40,600 Let you get upset over something. 417 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:46,800 That was preached. And see if I go Bo doesn't get 418 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:53,600 in your claws. Let There Be disgruntled Spirits 419 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,500 among the congregation. Let's not watch. 420 00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:01,100 If of a sudden, we're nothing's for sale. 421 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,900 I'm contemplating some negotiation here. 422 00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:14,400 Story of scripture and I'll move on. 423 00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:17,600 It's not my intention to belabor any points here tonight. 424 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,900 The portion of scripture is now absolon, has went to Hebron. 425 00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:23,800 He's had a van to people that's come. 426 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,000 He set all this up and where we get the Hebron. 427 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,800 You make declaration that all King Absalom that I am King and 428 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,100 it will be rallied about all throughout the people. 429 00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:35,200 And so Absalom was self appointed him as king. 430 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,700 He had a good support. He'd been mingling with the 431 00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:40,200 people he'd been fine. Their best offers. 432 00:27:42,100 --> 00:27:47,900 He's bought a lot of people. And so he's proclaiming himself 433 00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:52,200 to be king and David seeing this and knowing this, what not the 434 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,500 people that's under his Rule and Reign and his protection, not 435 00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:57,500 wanting them to see evil, not wanted. 436 00:27:57,500 --> 00:27:59,600 He's trying to protect them. I don't believe. 437 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,200 It's so much that David is afraid for himself as he is for 438 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,200 his people. And so his choice to move on was 439 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,700 for their protection. Not that he couldn't handle the 440 00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:10,200 issue, but he had the people to consider. 441 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,300 And so he's going to move on and the Bible says they're going to 442 00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:15,900 pass over the brook kedron and in doing so. 443 00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:20,600 There comes a man in verse number 19, by the name of it 444 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:26,100 tie, your tie is the get tight in Thai is from the land of 445 00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:29,900 death. Derek is the place where David, 446 00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:35,100 who's now King? Had taken the life of Goliath 447 00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:41,100 who was from Dad. So, you know. 448 00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:46,400 In terms of friendliness have friendly, can you get or be 449 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,000 whenever you were the one that killed the champion of from 450 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,500 where this person was from? But this is it time to get Thai. 451 00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:58,700 So you understand the history that he has already somewhat 452 00:28:58,700 --> 00:29:03,000 with David, is this is the man that killed our champion. 453 00:29:05,900 --> 00:29:08,500 Not only, they had those have Gap and those are the get 454 00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:10,600 tights. They were of the Philistine, a 455 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,900 mint tribe and family, which the Philistines throughout 456 00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:15,100 scripture. We know. 457 00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:17,900 They're not necessarily on shaking hands and sitting down 458 00:29:17,900 --> 00:29:20,200 to dinner. Amen, festivals with the 459 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,100 Israelites. As far as that goes to usually 460 00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:26,200 don't have much communication between one another outside of 461 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,200 war and their Rivals. I mean, they're big time Rivals 462 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,400 their enemies of one another but it Ty. 463 00:29:33,100 --> 00:29:36,300 Is approaching David. The Bible says that David would 464 00:29:36,300 --> 00:29:39,500 have respect to it. Ty, he was telling him here is 465 00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:42,200 the heart of it. Tie it tie saying, we're going 466 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,200 over the brook. Kedron to David were following 467 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,300 you. This doesn't make sense. 468 00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:51,900 David were following you and wherever you go. 469 00:29:51,900 --> 00:29:54,700 That's where we're going to be and David says hey, why don't 470 00:29:54,700 --> 00:29:56,700 you know, what David is even trying this man? 471 00:29:56,700 --> 00:29:59,300 He's making sure this man doesn't have a oh, Bo and his 472 00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:03,300 claws. He says you're calling me your 473 00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:05,500 king. Hey, man, you're respected me as 474 00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:07,500 your king. You're going where I'm going, 475 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,900 but I got to know that you're going to be 100% loyal. 476 00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:16,700 I got to know that you're going to be 100% sold out to me in 477 00:30:16,700 --> 00:30:20,600 this Kingdom and these people. And so he tries to dissuade him 478 00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:22,700 and he tells him, he says let me tell you something. 479 00:30:22,700 --> 00:30:26,000 He says you're a stranger. You're not an Israelite. 480 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,500 You're not one of our blood. He says you're a stranger. 481 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,900 He said for that matter, you're an exile. 482 00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:32,800 In other words. You've been banished from your 483 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,500 own country. You've been banished. 484 00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:37,900 You've been driven away from your native land and on top of 485 00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:40,600 all that you just got here yesterday. 486 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,300 Your tie, the history between between me and you is, I've 487 00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:54,300 killed you champion. We've been notable Rivals for 488 00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:57,800 years. Your people, my people, you're 489 00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,400 stranger. You don't even belong in this 490 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,700 land, but they banished you. They banished you, they drove 491 00:31:03,700 --> 00:31:06,100 you away. And whenever you was driven away 492 00:31:06,100 --> 00:31:10,400 from them, the one that had been your hey enemy, you're making a 493 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,200 friend. And you just got all of this 494 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:20,300 happening as of yesterday. It's not, like we got five years 495 00:31:20,300 --> 00:31:24,600 under the belt here. And we don't even got a year of 496 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,300 few months, it tie under the belt here. 497 00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:31,100 You know, our relationship is still somewhat Young. 498 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,500 But in this young bread relationship, it ties saying we 499 00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:40,600 once we're enemies. But now we come as friends 500 00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:44,500 because where I used to be no longer wants me. 501 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,200 Where are used to be? That used to be opposing to you 502 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:55,400 and still is the enemy of you. They no longer wanted me and I 503 00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:02,500 found Refuge under your hand. I know this just all happen as 504 00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:07,900 early as yesterday. But I'm making a pledge right 505 00:32:07,900 --> 00:32:15,200 now that my commitments to you. Somebody hear me right now. 506 00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:18,700 We all lived in the society in the world that we lived in the 507 00:32:18,700 --> 00:32:19,600 world. Amen. 508 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,800 That was a enemy and opposition to our King and our God. 509 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,800 There, we lived in rival worlds. We lived in Worlds that were 510 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:32,400 strange to one another that were in opposition to one another and 511 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,400 we have in many instances, become an exile or that. 512 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,800 Country it's banished us. It's wrote us off. 513 00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:40,700 It. Shook the dust off his heels 514 00:32:40,700 --> 00:32:42,700 concerning us. But you know what? 515 00:32:42,700 --> 00:32:46,200 We went to the house of what once was her enemy and we found 516 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:51,000 refuge and whether it's one day, five years or 20 years. 517 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,100 There should be a pledging of our Allegiance and our 518 00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:58,000 commitment to the king that says I don't care if it's just been 519 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,300 one day. I don't have a or best offer 520 00:33:01,300 --> 00:33:10,300 mentality in my life. Somebody needs, we expect the 521 00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:12,700 one that's been in this thing. And I feel like my voice is 522 00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:15,300 going or something. We got to expect something's 523 00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:18,500 going on in the life of an individual that if they've been 524 00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:21,400 30 years in this thing, honey. They're pretty stuck, you know, 525 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,000 they're with it. They're going to continue with 526 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:23,700 it. They've been here. 527 00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:26,500 They're always going to be here. That doesn't have to just be the 528 00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:29,800 mentality of somebody that's been around this thing for 30 529 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,500 years. But the moment you cross over 530 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,800 the moment, you step over the line, the moment that thing that 531 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,500 was you Enemy becomes your friend God and you step over 532 00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:42,100 that line. You can have the same mentality 533 00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:45,500 as that 30 year, old Christian and say, listen here. 534 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,400 This is not a or best opera mentality. 535 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,500 I'm going to be in this thing till he is. 536 00:33:50,700 --> 00:33:53,900 I'm going to last 3 generations. Come higher low. 537 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,400 I'm staying and I'm standing. So what's say it? 538 00:34:16,699 --> 00:34:24,600 Oh, Bo. See, it is a common occurrence, 539 00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:26,500 and I'm sounding good right here. 540 00:34:26,500 --> 00:34:31,300 So, please don't touch anything. And I say that in the sense of 541 00:34:31,300 --> 00:34:33,600 volume, not saying that I sound good. 542 00:34:38,500 --> 00:34:41,100 It's a common occurrence around our house, every every year. 543 00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:43,300 We have a garage sale. If not twice, in a year. 544 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,199 We have a garage sale He-Man. People come in and I've seen 545 00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:50,100 this throughout the years. We've had garage sale. 546 00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:52,699 Although, I'm not intimately involved, except for setting up 547 00:34:52,699 --> 00:34:55,199 a Bose and getting the stuff in there outside of that. 548 00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:57,100 I really kind of hate them. I like the kick back to the 549 00:34:57,100 --> 00:34:59,100 money, but I hate all the workers involved. 550 00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:04,400 So I leave that to the Chief Executive Officer, sister 551 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,200 Maggie. And if there's ever a lady that 552 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,900 knows how to put on a yard sale. She can she can make more money 553 00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:10,400 than a yard sale them. Some people came from a 554 00:35:10,408 --> 00:35:12,100 consignment shop. I'm here today right now. 555 00:35:14,900 --> 00:35:19,100 It's a gift. That there's been people come 556 00:35:19,100 --> 00:35:21,800 into our garage sale and of course, with in the garage, 557 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,700 there's more items there than just what have a tag on them. 558 00:35:26,700 --> 00:35:29,800 There are items in my garage that I wish to keep still yet 559 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:36,500 for a few years. There was not a tag on them when 560 00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:41,400 we had the garage sale. You're inevitably, I've known 561 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:46,000 people to ask. How much would you take for that 562 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,700 change hole? How much would you take for that 563 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,200 toolbox? Or that battery charger? 564 00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:02,300 I don't have a tag on it. But they don't care. 565 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,800 They posed the question just to see if we have any inkling of 566 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:15,300 negotiation. There's been time for the Mason 567 00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:17,300 and I know because over the years. 568 00:36:17,300 --> 00:36:18,600 I don't know. She's ever done this. 569 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,500 I'm not to my mind recollection, but maybe so because we've had 570 00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:23,400 him for a few years now. And you know, sometimes you get 571 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,900 questions about the same garbage or good stuff. 572 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:32,000 Mind you. But I've been in places whenever 573 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,100 we've been on our little van dead as of yard sales, that 574 00:36:35,100 --> 00:36:38,100 people have plainly hanging on something attack, but it wasn't 575 00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:41,700 how much it was. It stated very clearly not for 576 00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:44,400 sale and there's Pappy over there. 577 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:49,400 That's, you know, 70, some odd years old and or it could be 578 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:54,900 someone young like my wife. And they're asking how much 579 00:36:54,900 --> 00:37:01,400 would you take for it? You know, T. 580 00:37:02,300 --> 00:37:09,400 If or as a Ellie not for sale. Listen to me now. 581 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:19,000 But the true trial of the label. Is not the label itself. 582 00:37:20,900 --> 00:37:26,500 But in being able to combat the request of whether or not it's 583 00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:33,300 for sale. No, no, somebody's not hear me 584 00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:36,700 right now, put not for sale and whatever you want to put. 585 00:37:36,700 --> 00:37:42,000 Not for sale, but will it still stand as so when there's a Vine 586 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,500 of the attention for an exchange? 587 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,200 Somebody's not hurt me yet. You could put on there. 588 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,700 Now, going to take a million dollars, not going to take shown 589 00:37:52,700 --> 00:37:56,800 to, but if the offer would come across the table that would 590 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,900 strike a chord with you that would make you second-guess 591 00:37:59,900 --> 00:38:03,000 whether or not You should keep it or let God then honey. 592 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,700 It's truly not for sale in your category. 593 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,400 I'm going on with Jesus, just the same. 594 00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:23,000 Lie about me all this I'm going on with Jesus Hallelujah. 595 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,200 I'm staying in it. That's a great label. 596 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,800 That's a great testimony in flagrant words to put out there. 597 00:38:30,500 --> 00:38:33,900 But you wait till the enemy of your soul, starts trying to 598 00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:38,200 negotiate and if you're willing to enter into a place, no, I 599 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:45,500 wouldn't take that but I Ben, it was improperly labeled from the 600 00:38:45,500 --> 00:38:54,200 beginning. Somewhere along the line maybe 601 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,800 in the fine print. We had a 0 B 0 if the conditions 602 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:07,600 were just right. Someone Che man, I don't believe 603 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,900 I've ever seen in any of the classified ads. 604 00:39:09,900 --> 00:39:12,700 Thrifty Nickel all the computer, ons and line adds. 605 00:39:12,700 --> 00:39:16,800 I don't think ever in my life I've ever seen, one of the ads 606 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:26,400 has said not for sale. Oh Bo I've never seen anybody 607 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:31,300 make an ad that said, it's not for sale or best offer, but 608 00:39:31,300 --> 00:39:34,700 somehow that's exactly how some of our commitments are 609 00:39:34,700 --> 00:39:37,000 categorized. It's not for sale. 610 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,000 But if the right thing comes along or the right man, for the 611 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,000 right girl of the, right opportunity, or the right thing 612 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,100 that just would coach me. Just write comes. 613 00:39:45,100 --> 00:39:48,100 Hello, then honey. It's all for sale. 614 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,600 There's people Walk around in life of that type of mentality. 615 00:39:52,700 --> 00:39:55,900 They don't have to have for sale on anything they got, but if the 616 00:39:55,900 --> 00:39:58,300 price would be right for anything, they had, they would 617 00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:02,900 sell it in a moment. And we have the same type of 618 00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:05,500 mentality of people that walk around in church. 619 00:40:05,500 --> 00:40:07,000 They might not have a label for Uncle. 620 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,300 This is for sale on anything. They got in this Christian life, 621 00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:14,400 but at the right opportunity the right condition was man honey at 622 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:18,100 a moment's notice a or drop it all and go after the better 623 00:40:18,100 --> 00:40:33,100 so-called. It. 624 00:40:33,100 --> 00:40:38,500 I had a mindset that he wasn't just speaking for himself. 625 00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:40,900 He had 600 people that get tights. 626 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,400 That were with him. That had found that refuge and 627 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:50,300 the Hand of David King, David. Their main set was where the 628 00:40:50,300 --> 00:40:54,400 king is, where the King was. That's where we're going to be, 629 00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:58,400 even if it meant that in Life, or in death. 630 00:40:59,700 --> 00:41:04,500 We're with the King. If you remember the story at the 631 00:41:04,500 --> 00:41:08,700 Naomi had sojourned in the land of Moab got herself a couple of 632 00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:10,700 son-in-law's and lost her husband. 633 00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:13,100 And those two son-in-law's in the will help with a couple of 634 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,800 daughter-in-laws that were moabite. 635 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,400 Us Naomi. See, she's going to return back 636 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,700 to Bethlehem Judah because she hears of some bread. 637 00:41:21,700 --> 00:41:24,400 Back him the land and she's going to go and she's going to 638 00:41:24,408 --> 00:41:27,800 take her leave from Moab that she's been at per 10 years that 639 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,100 her daughter-in-laws cry out to her and say we're going back. 640 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,600 With you Naomi, that's where we're headed. 641 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,500 But Naomi starts to try them to see if they had a or best offer 642 00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:41,800 mentality. And she says, girls, why don't 643 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,900 you go back to your home? Why don't you go back to your 644 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,300 mother's house?

Your husband's having left by 648 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,900 way of death. And the Bible says, amen. 649 00:41:58,900 --> 00:42:02,500 Whenever this happens that they both cry out and space tell, 650 00:42:02,500 --> 00:42:04,800 we're not go. And we're staying, everything's 651 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,200 gonna be well, but number two comes along. 652 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,500 She says to him girls. I don't Many more Sons. 653 00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:14,300 I don't have any more Sons to be your husband's, if you would 654 00:42:14,300 --> 00:42:18,200 even if I find a man today in, get pregnant and give birth to a 655 00:42:18,207 --> 00:42:21,700 baby, nine months later and you'd wait for him to be grown. 656 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,500 Would you even wait that?

And the Bible says, whenever or 660 00:42:33,900 --> 00:42:37,300 her, amen, heard that, that she kissed her mother-in-law, and 661 00:42:37,300 --> 00:42:39,800 she went back to her family and went back to her. 662 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,100 God's why? Or if I had 20 bo-hee man in her 663 00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:45,800 closet she had to or a better offer in other words. 664 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,700 She says no, no. No, thank you. 665 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,400 I think it would just be best if I stayed home, but you know 666 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,400 what? The Bible says Ruth was have a 667 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,300 different mentality. The Bible says that she claimed 668 00:42:57,300 --> 00:43:00,800 to her mother and Hall and although Naomi still try to 669 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,000 dissuade her and discourage. Her room said in treat me, not 670 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,900 to leave you. Where are you? 671 00:43:06,900 --> 00:43:08,100 Go? I go. 672 00:43:08,300 --> 00:43:10,300 Where you Lodge?

Your God. 675 00:43:14,900 --> 00:43:16,600 It's going to be my God. Why? 676 00:43:16,700 --> 00:43:18,900 Because Ruth had in her mentality. 677 00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:22,900 I'm dedicated.

In Ruth reply. 682 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,800 She basically was conveying to her mother-in-law that her 683 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,400 decision to go to adopt different ways from her, native 684 00:43:51,400 --> 00:44:01,900 land was non-negotiable. Someone say, Amen. 685 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,300 If you'll stand with me, I'll close here, real, I'll wrap this 686 00:44:12,300 --> 00:44:20,000 thing up. Many years ago, the Mason you 687 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:26,000 may come and years ago. Spaniards were besieging the 688 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,600 little town of San Quentin. The frontiers of France. 689 00:44:32,500 --> 00:44:36,400 This little town was in Ruins. Many of the people in this 690 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:37,900 little town were sick with fever. 691 00:44:39,100 --> 00:44:43,800 They're being a famine. And there is not very many 692 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:48,800 supplies, very much food, thoughts of trees and even 693 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,000 existed. Among many of the townspeople 694 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,000 one day. The Spanish Army, shot over the 695 00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,400 walls, a shower of arrows attached to. 696 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,700 The arrows were little slips of parchment. 697 00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:07,500 Promising This Promise in the inhabitants Bishop that if they 698 00:45:07,500 --> 00:45:11,900 would surrender their lives. And property. 699 00:45:12,900 --> 00:45:20,000 That they would be spared. The governor of this quaint 700 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,700 little town of San Quentin where things just were in a little bit 701 00:45:23,700 --> 00:45:27,100 of upheaval, not too promising at the time. 702 00:45:28,500 --> 00:45:32,800 One, great leader. As he has. 703 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:40,000 So solitary answer to all their inducements to surrender. 704 00:45:40,500 --> 00:45:47,100 He took a piece of parchment. He tied it to a javelin and 705 00:45:47,100 --> 00:45:50,300 wrote on the parchment two words. 706 00:45:51,700 --> 00:45:55,400 Regim. Hey, Bemis. 707 00:45:57,300 --> 00:46:02,100 Which is translated. We have a king. 708 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:07,500 In her, old it, back into the camp of the enemy. 709 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:13,600 His one answer to all of their pleas for exchange. 710 00:46:17,300 --> 00:46:21,100 Surrender. Yourself in the property and 711 00:46:21,100 --> 00:46:23,100 your life will be saved. Sounds pretty appealing in the 712 00:46:23,107 --> 00:46:25,500 land of famine, fever and sickness. 713 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:32,400 But he sent just two words back that says we have a king. 714 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:38,800 Folks. That should be our reply. 715 00:46:40,700 --> 00:46:45,400 To the negotiations, that try to Allure the church. 716 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,600 That try to learn the people of God, even though we have our 717 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:53,900 signs posted not for that. Should be our reply. 718 00:46:55,700 --> 00:46:59,200 But what are you talking about? What type of exchange? 719 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,700 What type of offer you putting on the table are pleased to be 720 00:47:02,700 --> 00:47:05,000 very simple. We've got a king. 721 00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:12,000 The church has a king. We, as individuals have a king. 722 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,600 Our commitment should be steadfast in. 723 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:19,300 Our commitment, should be unmovable to this king of kings 724 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:24,200 and thus, Lord of lords. This is not, we have a king OB. 725 00:47:26,100 --> 00:47:29,700 This is not, we have a king. But if a better offer comes by 726 00:47:29,700 --> 00:47:32,900 then we'll swing on that. There's not a better offer 727 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,500 ladies and gentlemen, than what we've already got here tonight 728 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,600 in the sooner that we sell out to. 729 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:46,900 At hear me. The sooner we sell out to that. 730 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:53,900 The lesser the request for negotiation of sale will come 731 00:47:53,900 --> 00:47:59,800 knocking on your door. Because the label doesn't do it 732 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,700 enough. What starts getting in the mind 733 00:48:03,700 --> 00:48:08,000 of the people, imagine a few people looking at the item that 734 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,600 plainly states not for sale. And Joe asked, would you take 735 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:16,700 such and such for and here the owners reply sir? 736 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,600 It's not for sale. Now, with two other people was 737 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,400 wondering if they might get in on the negotiation there going 738 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,700 to be a little less likely and saying anything. 739 00:48:25,500 --> 00:48:29,300 If the person just underscored the fact of what the label said. 740 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:34,200 It's not personal, but if you go and say, well, let me think 741 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,900 about. Well, then bews going to jump in 742 00:48:37,900 --> 00:48:40,300 and say, well, I'll give you such and such for it. 743 00:48:44,700 --> 00:48:47,800 You open your life up to negotiation. 744 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:53,900 When you say, I think about it. I'll consider it what we need to 745 00:48:53,900 --> 00:48:57,400 hear clearly from us. And from the churches, this we 746 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,000 have a king. What about, what you think about 747 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,100 this? Sorry. 748 00:49:01,500 --> 00:49:05,500 We have a king, but would you if this, sorry? 749 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:14,400 We have a king. You're typing very easy. 750 00:49:14,500 --> 00:49:17,900 David's leaving his own plan right now, man. 751 00:49:17,900 --> 00:49:20,900 He's king of this place and he's escaping its Troublesome times 752 00:49:20,900 --> 00:49:23,100 when she just like to stay know where there might be some 753 00:49:23,100 --> 00:49:25,900 Security even in the upheaval of Our Lives. 754 00:49:25,900 --> 00:49:28,200 Folks. There is even the, uh, people 755 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,300 sometimes it takes place in the church in your personal life, 756 00:49:30,300 --> 00:49:33,900 serving the lord, even, and that, as they off time, set the 757 00:49:33,900 --> 00:49:37,200 worst times in the church are still better than the best 758 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,700 times. It's bad. 759 00:49:40,900 --> 00:49:42,300 That's okay. I know you're trying to take 760 00:49:42,300 --> 00:49:45,400 advantage of where I am at right now, but there's no better 761 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,900 offer.
