if you have your Bibles open them with
me to the book uh First Kings chapter 20
and we’re going to read a story in the
Old Testament that the Lord laid on my
heart this week and I want you to let it
speak to you look in first Kings chapter
20 it starts bad but it ends good now
Ben Hadad the king of Syria gathered all
his forces together 32 kings were with
him with horses and chariots he went up
in seed Samaria and made war against it
when he sent Messengers into the city to
Ahab king of Israel and said to him thus
says Ben
Hadad want to mention that that he was
named after his father his father’s name
was haad and it
means the king of
whirlwinds his father was such a brutal
man and now the
son which notice the terminology of the
words it talks about I’m going to make
you like dust that’s he’s saying I Am
The Reincarnation of my father and I’m
coming to destroy like a
whirlwind verse three listen to the
enemy your silver and your gold are mine
your loveliest wives and children are
mine the king of Israel answered and
said oh my Lord oh King just as you said
say no
resistance no
opposition you want my family you want
my marriage you want my business you
want my
finances just as you
say and all that I have is yours verse
five then the messenger came back
because the devil never stops once you
let him in he takes more and he takes
more he comes to kill steal and destroy
he never stops if you let him in he
keeps taking if you don’t
learn how to resist the enemy he will
never flee he’ll keep
coming and the messenger came back and
said thus says Ben hey Dad saying I
indeed I have sent you saying you shall
deliver me your silver your gold your
wives and your children but I send my
servants to you tomorrow about this time
and they will search your house
coming in your house the houses of your
servants and it shall be that whatever
is Pleasant in your eyes anything that
brings you pleasure anything that brings
you Joy anything that makes
you just be glad to be alive or it means
something is really precious to you and
pleasant when you think about it I’m
taking it I’m taking it whatever is
Pleasant in your eyes they will put it
in their hands and take it
so the king of Israel called the Elders
of the land he said’ notice please how
these men seek trouble they’ve sent me
and sent for my wives and children
silver and gold and I did not deny him
and the elders and all the people said
to him it’s bad when the people have to
tell the leader how to
lead do not listen or
consent therefore he said to The
Messengers of Ben dad tell my Lord the
king all that you sent your servant I
was willing to do but this thing I
cannot do and The Messengers departed
and he came back and that’s when he says
in verse 10 I’ll make you like I’ll come
like a whirlwind like won’t nothing be
left but dust verse 11 finally The
Narrative change the narrative
changes so the king of Israel after
saying yes yes yes you can have it you
can have it tell him let not the one who
puts his armor on boast like he who
takes it
off verse 13 suddenly a prophet
approached Ahab king of Israel and God
said I’ll deliver the enemy into your
hand I want to talk to you for a few
minutes about this story because I
believe it’s a powerful lesson you hear
a lot in the media today about
controlling the narrative you hear it in
politics you hear it in sports you hear
it in even in in in controversies and
crisis whoever controls the narrative
controls the outcome that’s the thought
that’s what people believe if you keep
saying it doesn’t matter what the truth
is just control the narrative and you
will control the
outcome and in this story it’s
like Ben haad this evil Syrian King and
his army links up with 32 other kings
because he had tried to conquer Israel
before you read it again and again and
yet again it says and yet again they
came against Israel and he couldn’t
defeat them but this time was different
because he hired 32 different nations
their kings and their armies against
one group of
farmers the
Israelites and it was because Ben Hadad
knew the power of their God
and there’s that moment when the elders
spoke to Ahab with such Authority that
they said don’t consent what do you mean
you you he he sent he kept taking and
you haven’t stood up there comes that
moment when the whole Narrative of the
story changes because if you change the
narrative you change the
outcome so many of us just sit back and
let the enemy attack and we think we are
helpless and that’s just how it goes and
we don’t have any say so but I’ve come
today to preach about when
Victory begins to discover that it has a
voice don’t let the enemy do all the
trash talking don’t let the enemy do all
the threats and the fear mongering among
your life don’t let the world and other
people’s opinion even control The
Narrative of your life
you have to get to that moment and I
love it because there came that moment
when something snapped in
him something said I have surrendered
and gave up all that I’m going to give
up I’m taking everything you’ve got been
hey Dad said and he said I was when I
started this conversation okay and some
of you have your back against the wall
the enemy is coming right now like a
flood like a
whirlwind and he’s promising to reduce
you down to ashes and nothing but dust
and I love the power of an anointed
service because you’re watching me on
television and the enemy said I want
your gold and your silver and your
business is under attack and he and he’s
coming he said I want your children
children and your children are under
attack and your marriage is I want your
wife I want your husband it’s all
hitting on every front and then he’s
going through saying I’m going to take
the pleasure and the joy out of life I’m
going to make you so miserable so man
that you can’t even enjoy you don’t have
peace I want you sucking your teeth I
want you negative I want you walking
around just hating life and bitter and
angry and mad and
upset everything Pleasant I’m coming out
after
it and that might be how you walked in
here but you came to the wrong service
and you’re watching the wrong
program because the prophet showed up
with a word from the Lord in the text
that I read and that word is still alive
in this year in this day in this hour
and in our lives and our
families even a rabbit when a gets away
from um from a
predator you know they do something look
this up don’t do it while I’m preaching
but but look this
up when they have a victory in their
life and they escape they’ll get
somewhere and just jump up in the air
and kick one leg out it’s called a binky
they do the
binky I mean a little rabbit can get
away from a fox and say the devil
thought he had me but he he didn’t have
me and and and he’ll jump up and kicking
some of you God’s giv you a job giving
you a house blessed you coming in
blessed you going out and you’re still
too sophisticated to give God a shout I
don’t care if you’re Baptist Methodist
Presbyterian Catholic I don’t care what
you are you ought to give him a praise
if he been good even nature says the
Victor ought to Make Some Noise clap
your hands all ye people and shout unto
God god with the voice of
Triumph listen to this first Corinthians
everybody say victory victory has a
voice look how big this voice and look
how big this is 1 Corinthians 15 says
this this Incorruptible shall put on
incorruption this Mortal has put on
immortality
then shall it be brought to pass the
same death notice the wording is how do
you swallow unless you got a
mouth death is swallowed up in
Victory victory’s got a mouth that can
if he can if Jesus
could give voice he’s saying if I don’t
care what you’re facing
if I can conquer death I can conquer
anything and I have swallowed up
death in
Victory whatever whenever your team is
winning you’re supposed to be the
loudest
team talk victory
walk into the battle with the word of
God even Jesus when he comes back after
the Rapture takes place the nation of
Israel will be surrounded and the Bible
said all nations will turn against
Israel and folks were seeing it right
before our eyes they’re still fighting
that Ben he dad Spirit that’s all that
is how can you like this story and not
love those people
but the Bible says it’s one of the
prophecies that every nation in the
world will turn their back on
Israel and in that
moment
God Jesus Christ will get on a white
horse and ride down into the ve Valley
of magto where the armies look like
they’re going to win and he will open
his mouth
and just when it looks like all the
armies are going to destroy Israel your
Bible said a sword will come out of his
mouth and consume the Antichrist and
consume the false prophet and consume
the Beast oh
Hallelujah death will be swallowed up in
Victory and I want to say if you’ve lost
someone that you love why don’t you make
your narrative instead of it’s so sad
and the pleasure’s gone and there’s no
joy left why don’t you change the
narrative and give Victory a voice and
say death you have been swallowed up in
Victory because of Jesus there’s an
empty tomb and there is eternal life
I pray today
that there would be a
holy losing
it that people like Ahab but there’s
that train fighter and then there’s
those people that just lose it in the
moment and something just takes
over I tell you part of the battle that
we’re in is when you decide
to give Victory a
voice in the
situation all things so what what how do
I give it a voice walk out of here
number one saying he’s with me Jesus is
with me he never will leave me there’s
nothing that can ever make him leave me
he is with me I’m going to be all right
I’m not promising you that everything’s
going to change I’m promising you that
whatever pack of lines you have lined in
you have to go into whatever fiery
furnish you have to walk through you’re
going to find Jesus said I’ll never
leave you I’ll never forsake you I’ll
dry your tears I’ll weeping will endure
for the night I’m going to bring joy in
the morning the sun’s going to shine
number one number two my Bible said you
should walk out change the narrative by
saying this all
things well since I got a stage all
things work
together for the
good you don’t believe
that not just the good things not just
the pleasant things not just the
successful
things but all
things work
together oh man I can walk in
confidence I can say well I don’t
understand this I don’t
understand how eggs and flour and
salt and sugar over
here are going to make me a good cupcake
I don’t get
it well the reason that it’s not good is
it’s not all together
yet all you’re tasting is the salty part
all you’re tasting is the baking soda
all you’re tasting is the flour
but when he puts it all together
actually I don’t talk about my WIS I
talk about how I was so low that I
didn’t know how I was going to make it
now I can Praise Him it makes me love
him more not just the winds thank God
for it but it’s the
struggles all works
together for the good so change the
narrative quit talking defeat and
disaster and depression and hopelessness
death has been swallowed up in Victory
what can the enemy do to you but give
you a shortcut to
Heaven I want you to stand to your feet
at every
campus no one moving
please Pastor I need this I need exactly
what you’re preaching I’m so negative
I’m so I’m so eat up with the
circumstances I’m not I’m not I don’t

life if that’s you I want you to come as
families I want you to come as couples I
want you to come and I want you to stand

spirit all things are working together

things he’s working all things for my
good beautiful come on come on get in as

spoke to you today we would love to hear
from you go online or use the number on
screen and get in touch with us and tell
us what God has done for you before I go
I want to take a moment to thank every
single one of you who support this
ministry because you have given us the
resources we needed to stand in
unwavering support for the nation of
Israel during this time of War on
October the 7th the peaceful Villages of
Esco faced an unthinkable a merciless
Invasion by Hamas terrorist Soldiers the
aftermath left a community shattered
especially its vulnerable members the
children the elderly some even Holocaust
Survivors the pregnant mothers and the
wounded marred men and women this is the
same region that for the last 5 years we
have been building lifegiving projects
such as a fire station fortified Kingdom
play school fortified bomb shelters that
saved many many lives during the attack
on October the 7th and we give God the
glory for that and so we ask our friends
and the people that we partnered with on
so many buildings and so many works that
we’ve worked with there what do you need
during this time of war and they were
instantly very clear in their request
they said what we need is we need the
esol resilience Center this building
will serve as a Beacon of Hope it will
be a place where shattered lives will be
mended and broken hearts will find peace
it will provide treatment for PTSD that
is almost every child every human being
that was there they need some help
mentally and they are shaken they are
wounded in their souls and in their
Spirits because they watch their own
loved ones slaughtered and killed
there’s no family there that was not
personally affected in massive massive
ways these horrifying attacks that
happen on October the 7th and we must
never forget we must never stop standing
with Israel and even though the news has
moved on for the most part we continue
to pray and give support in every way we
can even during the ongoing War because
we need to stand with Israel God said
I’ll bless those that bless Israel and
I’m asking you today to help us we’ve
made a million dooll new commit to build
the esol resilience Center will you
consider giving a special gift to help
us today pray about it that’s all I want
you to do I’m not going to tell you what
to give you ask God what he wants you to
give thank you and please continue to
pray for
[Music]
Israel I’m standing here in the Zach’s
house the Zach Family House in k wki
suim the first community that we
introduce you to on October 7 this
entire family perished when we walked
after the atrocities of October 7 into
this house we saw the father lying here
behind me on the floor with a knife in
his hand and in the shelter behind me
the mother in bed hugging her son both
dead and both burned alive
but just like this Instinct of a family
to protect each other to save each other
this is what we feel with you Pastor
Jensen Franklin and your entire
congregation it was an instinct a family
instinct to come and stand with us and
to remind us that we are not alone you
are responding immediately because you
know us you know us already for many
years before and you committed to build
a resilience Center that will give us
therapy for our communities to heal
together in these atrocities of October
7 we know that we will rebuild
again it will be painful and hard but we
know that with you we can make it happen
step by step together as a family
[Music]
I am a teacher and an educator at no Hab
show which is a council’s Regional High
School we woke up when we heard a lot of
explosions we entered the safe room I am
going out to see what’s happening I got
a voice message around 8:30 and that’s
it
I didn’t see him after
that around 11:00 a.m. I think two men
walked into the safe room wearing
uniforms and armed they took me out of
the house and brought me to a car near
the dining room and from there we drove
into the GSA strip to
conun yes we heard the bombings and the
IDF I was always in the approach of
there was a boom
I’m alive so everything is fine it’s not
that it wasn’t scary there were moments
it was very scary and the thing I was
most afraid of was that some missile
would hit the house and they would die
and I would stay alone because what will
an Israeli woman do alone in
conun the thing that bothered me the
most all the time is what happened to my
family when I left I knew the boys were
alive about raviv I knew nothing and the
worry about them and the fear of what
happened to them terrified me it was
really really hard for me that they
don’t know that I’m alive and that I’m
okay
