- female announcer: Coming up
00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:09.060
on "The Potter's Touch."
00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:10.230
- Bishop T.D. Jakes: And what
00:00:10.230 --> 00:00:11.110
should have taken a weekend took
00:00:11.110 --> 00:00:13.150
40 years 'cause he was tied up
00:00:13.230 --> 00:00:16.230
with murmuring, complaining
00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:18.140
people that he was trying to
00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:20.020
lead and he was trying to save
00:00:20.020 --> 00:00:22.020
and he was trying to help, and
00:00:22.040 --> 00:00:25.040
they were some of the most
00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:26.240
hateful people in the world are
00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:28.230
people you're tryin' to help.
00:00:28.230 --> 00:00:31.150
The people were frustrated with
00:00:31.150 --> 00:00:32.160
the leader and now the leader is
00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:34.030
frustrated with the people.
00:00:34.030 --> 00:00:35.260
He should've spoke to the rock,
00:00:35.260 --> 00:00:38.220
but because he had unresolved
00:00:38.220 --> 00:00:41.020
issues with the people, it
00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:43.010
boiled over, and now he speaks
00:00:43.010 --> 00:00:45.070
to the people when he should've
00:00:45.070 --> 00:00:46.270
been speakin' to the rock.
00:00:46.270 --> 00:00:49.050
Are you speakin' to the people
00:00:49.070 --> 00:00:52.070
The Potter's touch
00:01:08.070 --> 00:01:10.150
- Bishop Jakes: Forty years
00:01:14.150 --> 00:01:15.050
trained to walk like a nobleman
00:01:15.050 --> 00:01:17.030
even though he had the blood of
00:01:17.030 --> 00:01:18.090
a slave.
00:01:18.090 --> 00:01:19.050
Isn't it amazing what God will
00:01:19.050 --> 00:01:20.090
do with an opportunity?
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:23.280
Give you access to a dominion
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.080
that, by all rights, you'd have
00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:26.180
no right to be in, give you
00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:27.220
favor with people that you can't
00:01:27.220 --> 00:01:29.080
even figure out why they like
00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:30.120
ya.
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:31.100
Isn't it amazing how God will
00:01:31.100 --> 00:01:32.220
take a slave and raise him up
00:01:32.220 --> 00:01:34.130
like a king?
00:01:34.130 --> 00:01:36.160
That was Moses.
00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:37.140
Forty years, and then through a
00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:40.050
mistake he makes where he gets
00:01:40.050 --> 00:01:41.270
angry and rises up and kills an
00:01:41.270 --> 00:01:44.110
Egyptian in a conflict between
00:01:44.110 --> 00:01:45.230
an Egyptian and a Hebrew because
00:01:45.230 --> 00:01:47.260
the conflict before him was the
00:01:47.260 --> 00:01:50.010
conflict within him.
00:01:50.010 --> 00:01:52.260
He was raised to think like an
00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:54.050
Egyptian, but he had the blood
00:01:54.050 --> 00:01:55.140
of a Hebrew.
00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:56.090
And the fighting he saw in the
00:01:56.090 --> 00:01:57.100
street was the fighting he had
00:01:57.100 --> 00:01:58.160
on the inside.
00:01:58.160 --> 00:02:00.230
Do you know what it is to have a
00:02:00.230 --> 00:02:01.190
fight on the inside while you
00:02:01.190 --> 00:02:03.240
deal with fights on the outside?
00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:06.050
It is easier to stop the fight
00:02:06.050 --> 00:02:07.270
on the outside than it is the
00:02:07.270 --> 00:02:09.140
one on the inside.
00:02:09.140 --> 00:02:11.040
He kills a man and stops a fight
00:02:11.040 --> 00:02:13.060
on the outside, and for 40
00:02:13.060 --> 00:02:15.000
years, the would-be prince is
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.060
now an outlaw running from what
00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:19.220
could have been his heir
00:02:19.220 --> 00:02:21.280
apparent.
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:22.240
Now he runs into the wilderness,
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.260
not even a slave, but a runaway
00:02:24.260 --> 00:02:26.280
convict, hiding from justice,
00:02:28.100 --> 00:02:31.100
and there he has an encounter
00:02:31.100 --> 00:02:33.030
with God.
00:02:33.030 --> 00:02:35.020
And God says, "Go to the very
00:02:35.020 --> 00:02:36.170
place that you're running from
00:02:36.170 --> 00:02:38.250
and tell Pharaoh I said, 'Let my
00:02:38.250 --> 00:02:41.080
people go.'"
00:02:41.290 --> 00:02:44.290
This is an amazing moment.
00:02:44.290 --> 00:02:46.220
Can I tell ya?
00:02:46.220 --> 00:02:47.130
You told me to take my time, so
00:02:47.130 --> 00:02:48.020
I'mma do it.
00:02:48.020 --> 00:02:50.070
This is an amazing moment, not
00:02:50.070 --> 00:02:51.040
only because he goes back to the
00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:52.220
very place that he's running
00:02:52.220 --> 00:02:54.270
from and have to face what he's
00:02:54.270 --> 00:02:56.150
afraid of.
00:02:56.150 --> 00:02:57.150
That's somethin' all by itself.
00:02:57.150 --> 00:02:59.140
But it's an amazing moment
00:02:59.140 --> 00:03:00.280
because he gets to become the
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:02.140
leader of the people that he is
00:03:02.270 --> 00:03:05.270
connected to but never got to
00:03:05.270 --> 00:03:07.240
bond with.
00:03:08.010 --> 00:03:11.010
It's like gettin' your family
00:03:11.010 --> 00:03:12.050
back.
00:03:12.050 --> 00:03:13.200
It's like makin' your cultural
00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:15.030
connection.
00:03:15.030 --> 00:03:16.100
Moses comes back to Egypt to
00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:19.200
lead his people out of Egypt.
00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:22.150
There's a personal investment
00:03:22.150 --> 00:03:24.120
here because now he's connected
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.130
with his brothers.
00:03:26.220 --> 00:03:29.220
Brothers.
00:03:29.220 --> 00:03:31.100
Oh, God is such a great idea in
00:03:31.100 --> 00:03:34.090
the mix with my people.
00:03:34.140 --> 00:03:37.140
It's a great idea, connected
00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:40.140
with your culture.
00:03:40.140 --> 00:03:42.190
It's a wonderful thing.
00:03:42.190 --> 00:03:45.050
It feels good, in theory.
00:03:48.140 --> 00:03:51.140
Sounds amazing.
00:03:51.140 --> 00:03:53.230
We eat the same stuff.
00:03:53.230 --> 00:03:55.150
We like the same colors.
00:03:55.150 --> 00:03:57.210
We dance and move the same.
00:03:57.210 --> 00:03:59.130
This is cool, hangin' out with
00:03:59.130 --> 00:04:01.110
my folks, especially when you
00:04:01.110 --> 00:04:03.010
never had it.
00:04:03.030 --> 00:04:06.030
But sometimes things are better
00:04:06.030 --> 00:04:07.040
in your head than they are in
00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:07.220
So he comes to his own people,
00:04:13.030 --> 00:04:16.030
and he starts leading them out,
00:04:16.030 --> 00:04:17.290
and he's got God's power, and
00:04:17.290 --> 00:04:19.090
he's got God's hand, and he's
00:04:19.090 --> 00:04:20.140
got God's might.
00:04:20.140 --> 00:04:21.140
And he's tryin' to lead them out
00:04:21.140 --> 00:04:22.280
of somethin' bad into somethin'
00:04:22.280 --> 00:04:24.060
good, and you'd think they would
00:04:24.060 --> 00:04:25.260
like you 'cause you know you
00:04:25.260 --> 00:04:27.080
wanna be liked 'cause you're
00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:28.090
And he's leadin' 'em out from
00:04:31.220 --> 00:04:32.260
slavery, and they're fighting
00:04:32.260 --> 00:04:35.110
the one who's leadin' 'em out.
00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:40.100
"You mean you're not gonna
00:04:40.100 --> 00:04:42.000
appreciate me comin' back
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.130
riskin' my life?
00:04:44.130 --> 00:04:45.250
I could've been killed.
00:04:45.250 --> 00:04:47.020
I came to make your life better,
00:04:47.020 --> 00:04:49.040
and you're not glad?"
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.080
No, they murmured and they
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.120
complained and they bickered and
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:55.050
they fussed, and they like to
00:04:55.050 --> 00:04:56.280
drove him crazy from the very
00:04:56.280 --> 00:04:58.200
beginning.
00:04:58.200 --> 00:05:00.280
Isn't it amazing how you can do
00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:02.120
great things for people, and
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.180
they hate you?
00:05:04.180 --> 00:05:06.130
Isn't it amazing how the people
00:05:06.130 --> 00:05:08.030
you help the most kick your
00:05:08.030 --> 00:05:10.280
teeth out?
00:05:11.210 --> 00:05:14.210
You have not had pain till it
00:05:14.210 --> 00:05:17.000
was inflicted upon you by
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:18.240
somebody you have given
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.020
everything to.
00:05:20.020 --> 00:05:22.030
I cannot even describe it.
00:05:22.030 --> 00:05:23.180
Words fail me to be able to
00:05:23.180 --> 00:05:25.110
articulate the level of pain
00:05:25.110 --> 00:05:27.090
when you have a heart investment
00:05:27.090 --> 00:05:29.150
and a soul investment and a life
00:05:29.150 --> 00:05:31.170
investment, pouring it into
00:05:31.170 --> 00:05:33.070
people, expecting to be affirmed
00:05:33.070 --> 00:05:35.280
and loved back.
00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:37.030
What do you do when you don't
00:05:37.030 --> 00:05:38.160
reap back what you sow?
00:05:38.210 --> 00:05:41.210
[laughing]
00:05:41.210 --> 00:05:43.120
Y'all told me in church that
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:44.260
whatever I sowed I would reap,
00:05:44.260 --> 00:05:46.230
but I have had moments that I
00:05:46.230 --> 00:05:48.230
sowed loyalty and reaped
00:05:48.230 --> 00:05:51.020
betrayal.
00:05:51.020 --> 00:05:51.270
I sowed love and reaped malice.
00:05:51.270 --> 00:05:54.160
And you wonder, "How could I get
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.100
this back from you?"
00:05:57.210 --> 00:06:00.230
"Et tu, Brute?
00:06:00.250 --> 00:06:03.250
Et tu?
00:06:03.250 --> 00:06:05.140
Not you."
00:06:05.140 --> 00:06:07.150
They murmured and complained and
00:06:07.230 --> 00:06:10.230
delayed his life 'cause he was
00:06:10.230 --> 00:06:13.120
carrying the dead weight of
00:06:13.250 --> 00:06:16.250
ungrateful, unthankful people,
00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:20.100
and still carrying them.
00:06:20.150 --> 00:06:23.150
And what should have taken a
00:06:23.150 --> 00:06:24.210
weekend took 40 years 'cause he
00:06:25.190 --> 00:06:28.190
was tied up with murmuring,
00:06:28.190 --> 00:06:30.170
complaining people that he was
00:06:30.170 --> 00:06:32.150
trying to lead and he was trying
00:06:32.150 --> 00:06:34.000
to save and he was trying to
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:35.140
help, and they were some of the
00:06:35.220 --> 00:06:38.220
most hateful people in the world
00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:41.140
are people you're tryin' to
00:06:41.140 --> 00:06:42.110
help.
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.160
Hats off to all you people in
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:46.230
the medical profession.
00:06:46.230 --> 00:06:49.020
I saw your commercials on TV
00:06:49.020 --> 00:06:50.180
about how great it is to be a
00:06:50.180 --> 00:06:51.220
nurse.
00:06:51.220 --> 00:06:52.180
It sounds good in theory.
00:06:52.180 --> 00:06:54.150
Hats off to you.
00:06:54.150 --> 00:06:55.150
Some of the most hateful people
00:06:55.150 --> 00:06:56.210
in the world are sick people.
00:06:59.050 --> 00:07:02.070
God didn't call me to that
00:07:02.070 --> 00:07:03.200
ministry, and I bow to all he
00:07:03.200 --> 00:07:04.260
did.
00:07:04.260 --> 00:07:05.210
I'm really good at being good to
00:07:05.210 --> 00:07:07.100
people who are nice.
00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:09.290
They would fire me in a weekend.
00:07:10.200 --> 00:07:13.200
If I change your bedpan, you
00:07:13.200 --> 00:07:15.040
better speak to me.
00:07:16.140 --> 00:07:19.140
What do you do when you humble
00:07:19.140 --> 00:07:20.290
yourself to do things you don't
00:07:20.290 --> 00:07:22.210
even wanna do, and you do it for
00:07:22.210 --> 00:07:24.200
somebody who's murmuring and
00:07:24.200 --> 00:07:26.250
complainin' and naggin' and
00:07:26.280 --> 00:07:29.280
fussin'?
00:07:29.280 --> 00:07:31.040
See, I need you to feel how
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.290
Moses feels before I tell you
00:07:32.290 --> 00:07:35.240
what Moses did.
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.060
It's easy to judge people for
00:07:37.060 --> 00:07:39.050
what they do when you don't
00:07:39.050 --> 00:07:40.240
understand how they feel.
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.170
Until you have felt what I felt,
00:07:42.170 --> 00:07:45.020
Moses has been dealing with
00:07:54.110 --> 00:07:55.290
these nincompoops for 120 years.
00:07:59.080 --> 00:08:02.100
Whoo, did I call 'em,
00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:03.030
"Nincompoops"?
00:08:03.030 --> 00:08:05.000
I don't even know how to spell
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:05.240
"nincompoops," but it felt good
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:06.280
He has been through hell and
00:08:12.070 --> 00:08:14.180
high water, the kind of stuff
00:08:14.180 --> 00:08:16.100
you go through that only life
00:08:16.100 --> 00:08:17.250
can teach you.
00:08:17.250 --> 00:08:18.220
Life is a university.
00:08:18.220 --> 00:08:20.190
My mother was absolutely right.
00:08:20.190 --> 00:08:22.030
It is absolutely a university.
00:08:22.030 --> 00:08:23.270
And whether you wanna take the
00:08:23.270 --> 00:08:25.000
classes or not, you've got to
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:26.040
take 'em every day.
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:27.190
Life will teach you some stuff.
00:08:27.190 --> 00:08:29.230
He has been up and down.
00:08:29.230 --> 00:08:31.160
He's been around and around and
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.110
around.
00:08:33.110 --> 00:08:34.110
They've been through snake
00:08:34.110 --> 00:08:35.190
bites.
00:08:35.190 --> 00:08:36.070
They've been through famine.
00:08:36.070 --> 00:08:36.250
They've been through pestilence.
00:08:36.250 --> 00:08:38.000
They've been attacked by the
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:38.270
Amalekites.
00:08:38.270 --> 00:08:39.220
They've been through hell and
00:08:39.220 --> 00:08:40.260
high water, and he's been
00:08:40.260 --> 00:08:42.090
through all of it.
00:08:42.090 --> 00:08:44.110
A whole generation of them died
00:08:44.110 --> 00:08:47.070
in the wilderness because of
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.120
their hateful murmuring,
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.280
complaining ways.
00:08:53.020 --> 00:08:56.020
And now, he's leading their
00:08:56.020 --> 00:08:58.250
kids, and the fathers had bit on
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:05.240
sour grapes, and then the teeth
00:09:06.060 --> 00:09:09.060
of the children are set on edge.
00:09:09.060 --> 00:09:11.250
"What does Bishop mean by that?"
00:09:11.250 --> 00:09:13.250
What Bishop means is that the
00:09:13.250 --> 00:09:15.280
kids are nasty because the
00:09:15.280 --> 00:09:18.110
The children have unbelief
00:09:25.130 --> 00:09:26.260
because the parents had
00:09:26.260 --> 00:09:27.240
unbelief.
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:28.250
I'm saying that they have
00:09:28.250 --> 00:09:29.270
inherited the attributes of
00:09:29.270 --> 00:09:32.140
their parents.
00:09:32.140 --> 00:09:35.100
They're just as hateful as their
00:09:35.100 --> 00:09:37.070
daddies were.
00:09:37.070 --> 00:09:40.070
And he's dealing with a fresh
00:09:40.070 --> 00:09:41.220
generation of hatred, and he's
00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:44.080
old.
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:46.130
Moses is in that stage, and
00:09:48.050 --> 00:09:51.050
these people are in this stage.
00:09:52.220 --> 00:09:55.220
[sighing]
00:09:56.090 --> 00:09:59.090
The difference is, their fathers
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.200
died in the wilderness.
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.180
But this is the chosen
00:10:05.180 --> 00:10:06.190
generation that will go over
00:10:06.190 --> 00:10:08.260
into the Promised Land.
00:10:08.260 --> 00:10:09.230
And so God says to Moses, "We
00:10:09.230 --> 00:10:12.110
gonna do that thing that we did
00:10:12.110 --> 00:10:13.150
before.
00:10:13.150 --> 00:10:15.130
Only this time, I want you to
00:10:15.130 --> 00:10:17.230
speak to the rock."
00:10:17.230 --> 00:10:19.160
Now, the people have been
00:10:19.160 --> 00:10:21.270
murmurin' and complainin', and
00:10:21.270 --> 00:10:23.160
Moses comes to God and says,
00:10:23.160 --> 00:10:25.180
"They're doin' that thing their
00:10:25.180 --> 00:10:26.190
You know, when you have
00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:33.140
first-generation trouble, you've
00:10:33.140 --> 00:10:35.120
got patience and faith, but when
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.060
it keeps comin' up again and
00:10:37.060 --> 00:10:38.150
again and again, they're doin'
00:10:38.150 --> 00:10:40.220
that thing their parents did.
00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:42.010
They're murmuring and
00:10:42.010 --> 00:10:42.200
complaining.
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:43.150
So God says, "We're gonna do
00:10:43.150 --> 00:10:44.090
that thing we did before, but
00:10:44.090 --> 00:10:45.050
we're gonna modify it a little
00:10:45.050 --> 00:10:46.030
bit.
00:10:46.030 --> 00:10:47.120
Instead of smiting the rock like
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.060
you did the first time," God
00:10:50.060 --> 00:10:51.160
says, "speak to the rock, and
00:10:51.160 --> 00:10:54.090
the rock will bring forth
00:10:54.090 --> 00:10:55.060
water."
00:10:55.060 --> 00:10:57.020
And Moses says, "Cool, cool,
00:10:57.020 --> 00:10:59.270
cool."
00:10:59.270 --> 00:11:02.000
[music]
00:11:07.150 --> 00:11:10.150
- Pastor Cora Jakes-Coleman:
00:11:10.150 --> 00:11:11.090
There is a ferocious warrior in
00:11:11.090 --> 00:11:13.190
all of us.
00:11:13.190 --> 00:11:14.250
We are created by the battles
00:11:14.250 --> 00:11:16.270
that we face every day.
00:11:16.270 --> 00:11:19.060
The beauty of your battle is
00:11:19.060 --> 00:11:20.210
birthed in a barren place.
00:11:20.210 --> 00:11:23.110
The enemy you face is the part
00:11:23.110 --> 00:11:25.190
of you that says to you, "You're
00:11:25.190 --> 00:11:27.250
defeated."
00:11:27.250 --> 00:11:29.100
The warrior tells you, "The
00:11:29.100 --> 00:11:31.030
power."
00:11:31.030 --> 00:11:32.140
And he tells you that "you are
00:11:32.140 --> 00:11:33.250
not broken.
00:11:33.250 --> 00:11:35.080
You are not damaged.
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:36.260
You are an overcomer."
00:11:36.260 --> 00:11:39.190
You can beat whatever it is you
00:11:39.190 --> 00:11:41.140
are facing, but it won't be by
00:11:41.140 --> 00:11:43.120
fear.
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:44.180
It will be by the power of faith
00:11:44.180 --> 00:11:46.290
and prayer.
00:11:46.290 --> 00:11:49.080
Are you ready?
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.000
It's time, it's the moment.
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.280
Wake up, warrior.
00:11:53.280 --> 00:11:55.290
- Bishop Jakes: And Moses goes
00:12:12.040 --> 00:12:13.200
and does the opposite of what
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:15.080
God told him to do.
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.080
God told him to speak to the
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:19.080
rock.
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.020
He speaks to the people.
00:12:22.130 --> 00:12:25.130
God says, "Speak to the rock,
00:12:25.130 --> 00:12:26.130
and the waters'll come out."
00:12:26.130 --> 00:12:27.280
He wasn't even supposed to hit
00:12:27.280 --> 00:12:28.250
it one time.
00:12:28.250 --> 00:12:29.190
He hit it twice.
00:12:29.190 --> 00:12:31.290
Moses is frustrated.
00:12:31.290 --> 00:12:34.280
They had gotten on his last
00:12:34.280 --> 00:12:36.250
nerve.
00:12:36.250 --> 00:12:39.200
Now, you must understand, for
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.170
this one little offense, Moses
00:12:42.150 --> 00:12:45.150
is blocked from getting to the
00:12:45.150 --> 00:12:46.280
Promised Land.
00:12:46.280 --> 00:12:48.200
He freaks out on the people, and
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.110
he has a meltdown, and he just
00:12:50.110 --> 00:12:52.140
lets 'em have it.
00:12:52.140 --> 00:12:53.250
This is probably the abridged
00:12:53.250 --> 00:12:56.040
version of what he said to 'em
00:12:56.040 --> 00:12:57.290
'cause he just kinda, you know?
00:12:57.290 --> 00:13:00.040
You know how you do when you're
00:13:00.040 --> 00:13:02.110
talkin' to your folks, and your
00:13:02.110 --> 00:13:05.040
folks have got on your nerves.
00:13:05.110 --> 00:13:08.110
And there is a language, you
00:13:08.110 --> 00:13:10.100
know, that we all communicate.
00:13:10.130 --> 00:13:13.130
I don't know.
00:13:13.130 --> 00:13:14.020
I'm just figurin'.
00:13:14.020 --> 00:13:14.290
But whatever he said, it was
00:13:14.290 --> 00:13:16.230
good.
00:13:16.230 --> 00:13:18.020
It was good.
00:13:18.020 --> 00:13:18.280
It was kinda, "Woo-sa," you
00:13:18.280 --> 00:13:21.210
know, "I got that out of me."
00:13:22.040 --> 00:13:25.040
But it resulted in God saying to
00:13:25.040 --> 00:13:27.080
Moses, "You cannot go to the
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.080
Promised Land now, because you
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.060
did not obey me."
00:13:32.060 --> 00:13:33.130
And I want you to understand
00:13:33.130 --> 00:13:34.060
some things.
00:13:34.060 --> 00:13:34.280
First of all, I want you to
00:13:34.280 --> 00:13:35.180
understand that Moses didn't
00:13:35.180 --> 00:13:37.030
understand that God was using
00:13:37.030 --> 00:13:38.180
his life as an example of what
00:13:39.280 --> 00:13:42.280
he would later do with Christ,
00:13:42.280 --> 00:13:45.150
that the rock is a type of Jesus
00:13:45.150 --> 00:13:47.280
Christ.
00:13:47.280 --> 00:13:49.140
And the reason God wanted him to
00:13:49.140 --> 00:13:51.180
smite it the first time but not
00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:54.220
smite it the second time is that
00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:56.120
when he smote it the first time,
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:57.270
it typified Christ being
00:13:57.270 --> 00:13:59.090
crucified.
00:13:59.090 --> 00:14:01.230
And he wanted the illustration,
00:14:01.230 --> 00:14:03.200
the shadow in the Old Testament
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.080
to be that once Christ was
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.030
crucified once, he would not be
00:14:07.030 --> 00:14:09.080
crucified again.
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.270
And so when Moses smites the
00:14:11.270 --> 00:14:13.230
rock again, he shatters the
00:14:13.230 --> 00:14:16.120
typology.
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:17.200
He messes up the metaphor, and
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.030
God judges him because he says
00:14:20.030 --> 00:14:22.030
something about the rock that is
00:14:22.030 --> 00:14:23.200
not true.
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:24.220
He's saying that the rock has to
00:14:24.220 --> 00:14:26.120
be smitten twice to bring forth
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.250
water, when Christ only had to
00:14:28.250 --> 00:14:31.230
be crucified once.
00:14:31.230 --> 00:14:33.290
"Woman, if you knew who I was,
00:14:33.290 --> 00:14:35.160
you would ask me for water."
00:14:36.070 --> 00:14:39.070
Christ is the Rock.
00:14:39.070 --> 00:14:41.130
"If you drink of the waters that
00:14:41.130 --> 00:14:42.110
I have, you will thirst
00:14:42.110 --> 00:14:43.220
again--that you have.
00:14:43.220 --> 00:14:44.280
But if you drink of the waters
00:14:44.280 --> 00:14:46.020
that I have, you will never
00:14:46.020 --> 00:14:47.200
thirst again."
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.050
"If you believe on me, as the
00:14:50.050 --> 00:14:51.090
Scriptures have said, out of
00:14:51.090 --> 00:14:52.240
living water."
00:14:54.260 --> 00:14:55.180
Christ is the Rock.
00:14:56.160 --> 00:14:59.160
"And he was wounded for our
00:14:59.160 --> 00:15:01.000
transgressions, he was bruised
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:02.140
for our iniquity: the
00:15:02.140 --> 00:15:03.170
chastisement of our peace was
00:15:03.170 --> 00:15:04.190
upon him; with his stripes we
00:15:04.190 --> 00:15:05.180
are healed."
00:15:05.180 --> 00:15:06.110
One time is enough.
00:15:07.030 --> 00:15:10.030
Moses smote the rock a second
00:15:10.030 --> 00:15:11.220
time and broke the type,
00:15:13.180 --> 00:15:16.180
shattered it, and God got upset.
00:15:16.180 --> 00:15:18.230
Man, you know, for God to block
00:15:18.230 --> 00:15:20.100
Moses from getting to the
00:15:20.100 --> 00:15:21.280
Promised Land, it had to be
00:15:21.280 --> 00:15:22.260
serious.
00:15:22.260 --> 00:15:24.190
God said, "Other prophets have I
00:15:24.190 --> 00:15:25.200
spoke to through dreams and
00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:26.260
visions, but of my servant Moses
00:15:26.260 --> 00:15:28.120
do I speak face to face."
00:15:28.140 --> 00:15:31.140
God said, "Moses is my boy.
00:15:32.290 --> 00:15:35.290
I don't give him dreams and
00:15:35.290 --> 00:15:36.280
visions.
00:15:36.280 --> 00:15:37.180
When I wanna talk to Moses, I
00:15:37.180 --> 00:15:38.280
come down to the tent and say,
00:15:38.280 --> 00:15:40.020
'Yo, Moses, what's goin' down,
00:15:40.020 --> 00:15:40.280
man?'"
00:15:40.280 --> 00:15:42.120
Moses has done all kinda stuff.
00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:46.080
He murdered a man, and God still
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.190
When Moses's sister spoke
00:15:55.020 --> 00:15:56.270
against Moses, God struck her
00:15:56.270 --> 00:15:58.100
with leprosy.
00:15:58.100 --> 00:15:59.240
Moses is God's dude.
00:16:01.110 --> 00:16:04.110
You get in trouble sayin'
00:16:04.110 --> 00:16:05.130
somethin' about Moses.
00:16:05.130 --> 00:16:06.150
Moses had gotten in God's face
00:16:06.150 --> 00:16:08.190
and argued with him, and God put
00:16:08.190 --> 00:16:10.100
up with it.
00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:11.280
Moses got in God's face and
00:16:11.280 --> 00:16:12.290
said, "They're your people.
00:16:12.290 --> 00:16:14.100
They're not my people.
00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:15.030
They're my people.
00:16:15.030 --> 00:16:15.200
They're not your--"
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:16.130
He was arguin' back and forth
00:16:16.130 --> 00:16:17.080
with God, and God put up with
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:18.050
that.
00:16:18.050 --> 00:16:19.180
What was it about this that was
00:16:19.180 --> 00:16:20.070
so horrible that God said, "For
00:16:20.070 --> 00:16:22.140
this you cannot go into the
00:16:22.140 --> 00:16:23.070
kingdom"?
00:16:23.070 --> 00:16:26.040
He said something about Christ
00:16:26.040 --> 00:16:27.060
that wasn't true.
00:16:27.060 --> 00:16:29.090
His actions said that the cross
00:16:29.090 --> 00:16:30.150
is not enough, that he would be
00:16:30.150 --> 00:16:33.150
crucified twice.
00:16:33.150 --> 00:16:35.250
It shattered the gospel message
00:16:35.250 --> 00:16:38.180
to the chosen generation.
00:16:38.180 --> 00:16:41.070
The former generation, it didn't
00:16:41.070 --> 00:16:42.160
matter, but to the chosen
00:16:42.160 --> 00:16:43.210
generation, these are the
00:16:43.210 --> 00:16:46.070
generations who have entered
00:16:46.070 --> 00:16:48.040
into something for which they
00:16:48.040 --> 00:16:48.290
did not labor.
00:16:50.130 --> 00:16:53.130
These are the generations of
00:16:53.130 --> 00:16:54.260
people that are stepping into
00:16:54.260 --> 00:16:56.170
something that is so divine and
00:16:56.170 --> 00:16:58.240
so holy that now the water is
00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:01.020
just flowing through the Word.
00:17:01.020 --> 00:17:03.150
"And ye are cleansed by the
00:17:03.150 --> 00:17:04.270
washing of water by the Word."
00:17:04.270 --> 00:17:06.290
The Word is all you need to get
00:17:06.290 --> 00:17:08.230
the water.
00:17:08.230 --> 00:17:09.210
No more bruisings are necessary.
00:17:09.210 --> 00:17:11.290
But now, through the Word, the
00:17:11.290 --> 00:17:13.250
water flows.
00:17:13.250 --> 00:17:14.250
Oh, they don't hear me.
00:17:14.250 --> 00:17:16.000
I'mma keep sayin' it until they
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:17.080
get it.
00:17:17.080 --> 00:17:18.010
It's in the Word.
00:17:18.010 --> 00:17:19.070
The water you need is in the
00:17:19.070 --> 00:17:20.060
Word.
00:17:20.060 --> 00:17:21.080
The thirst you have, it's in the
00:17:21.080 --> 00:17:22.090
Word.
00:17:22.090 --> 00:17:23.120
The healing is in the Word.
00:17:23.120 --> 00:17:25.090
You don't have to go through
00:17:25.090 --> 00:17:26.070
changes.
00:17:26.070 --> 00:17:27.110
You don't have to go through
00:17:27.110 --> 00:17:28.070
crucifixion.
00:17:28.070 --> 00:17:29.060
You don't have to bleed for it.
00:17:29.060 --> 00:17:30.190
You don't have to work for it.
00:17:30.190 --> 00:17:31.240
You don't have to sweat for it.
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:33.110
All you gotta do is hear the
00:17:33.110 --> 00:17:34.100
Word, and the water's in the
00:17:34.100 --> 00:17:36.070
Word, and the Word is in the
00:17:36.070 --> 00:17:37.070
water.
00:17:37.070 --> 00:17:38.040
And the water's in the Word, and
00:17:38.040 --> 00:17:39.040
the Word is in the water.
00:17:39.040 --> 00:17:40.140
And the water's in the Word, and
00:17:40.140 --> 00:17:41.150
the Word is in the water.
00:17:41.150 --> 00:17:42.260
And it's flowin'.
00:17:42.260 --> 00:17:44.070
My God, that's why people come
00:17:44.070 --> 00:17:46.160
to this church, 'cause the Word
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:48.040
is flowin' in this place.
00:17:48.150 --> 00:17:51.150
It's not our graphic arts
00:17:51.150 --> 00:17:52.120
design.
00:17:52.120 --> 00:17:53.030
It's not our television
00:17:53.030 --> 00:17:53.270
ministry.
00:17:53.270 --> 00:17:54.220
It's not our social media or
00:17:54.220 --> 00:17:56.020
anything else.
00:17:56.020 --> 00:17:57.010
The Bible said, "The Word
00:17:57.010 --> 00:17:58.120
increase and the disciples
00:17:58.120 --> 00:17:59.000
multiply."
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:00.200
Whenever there's good Word, you
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:01.290
don't have to beg people to
00:18:01.290 --> 00:18:02.270
come.
00:18:02.270 --> 00:18:03.210
The Word will draw the people.
00:18:03.210 --> 00:18:05.280
"And he sent his Word, and it
00:18:05.280 --> 00:18:07.190
healed them."
00:18:07.190 --> 00:18:09.110
And the Word flowed, and it
00:18:09.110 --> 00:18:11.100
flowed.
00:18:11.100 --> 00:18:12.100
And that's why God says, "Speak
00:18:12.100 --> 00:18:13.100
to the rock.
00:18:13.100 --> 00:18:15.010
We've already paid the price.
00:18:15.010 --> 00:18:16.140
Speak to the rock, and the
00:18:16.140 --> 00:18:18.140
waters will flow."
00:18:18.140 --> 00:18:19.160
But Moses was so frustrated that
00:18:24.010 --> 00:18:27.010
he couldn't obey a simpler
00:18:27.060 --> 00:18:30.060
solution.
00:18:30.230 --> 00:18:33.230
And I wanna tell you why he's
00:18:33.230 --> 00:18:34.140
frustrated.
00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:36.130
They were murmurin' again.
00:18:38.170 --> 00:18:41.170
They were murmurin' and
00:18:41.170 --> 00:18:42.110
complainin' again.
00:18:42.110 --> 00:18:43.090
They were murmurin' and
00:18:43.090 --> 00:18:44.080
threatenin' to kill Moses, and
00:18:44.080 --> 00:18:45.280
Moses was afraid for his life.
00:18:45.280 --> 00:18:47.190
He was at his wit's end, and
00:18:47.190 --> 00:18:49.090
he'd already been through it
00:18:49.090 --> 00:18:50.170
before, and he was frustrated.
00:18:50.170 --> 00:18:53.120
So, number one, he's frustrated
00:18:53.120 --> 00:18:54.200
with the people.
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:56.070
He's frustrated with the people.
00:18:56.070 --> 00:18:58.230
And when you are frustrated with
00:18:58.230 --> 00:19:00.230
the people you love, the
00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:04.200
conflict is overwhelming.
00:19:05.250 --> 00:19:08.250
It's one thing to be angry at
00:19:08.250 --> 00:19:10.120
people you don't know.
00:19:10.120 --> 00:19:12.230
But when you are angry with
00:19:12.230 --> 00:19:13.250
people you're in covenant with,
00:19:13.250 --> 00:19:15.110
the confusion is overwhelming
00:19:15.110 --> 00:19:18.010
because one thing says, "Love
00:19:18.010 --> 00:19:19.160
them," and the other thing says,
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:20.230
"I wanna choke you."
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:24.160
Now, if you haven't lived long
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:25.090
enough to have that conflict, I
00:19:25.090 --> 00:19:26.280
won't get an "Amen" out of you.
00:19:26.280 --> 00:19:28.140
But if you've lived long enough
00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:29.260
to have Meribah on the inside
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.240
and be quarreling with
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:34.250
yourself--
00:19:36.270 --> 00:19:39.270
You see, the people were
00:19:39.270 --> 00:19:41.210
frustrated with the leader and
00:19:42.020 --> 00:19:45.020
now the leader is frustrated
00:19:45.020 --> 00:19:46.230
with the people.
00:19:46.230 --> 00:19:48.090
The people are frustrated with
00:19:48.090 --> 00:19:49.070
the leader because, "You have
00:19:51.100 --> 00:19:54.100
led us into trouble."
00:19:54.180 --> 00:19:57.180
And people will follow you as
00:19:57.180 --> 00:20:00.010
long as there's not trouble.
00:20:02.270 --> 00:20:05.270
"You're a good husband.
00:20:05.270 --> 00:20:07.200
You're a good man.
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.030
You're a good daddy.
00:20:09.030 --> 00:20:10.170
Oh, you're such a good daddy."
00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:15.220
See, people love leadership that
00:20:22.170 --> 00:20:25.010
leads you into convenience, but
00:20:25.010 --> 00:20:26.170
when the leadership gets kinda
00:20:26.170 --> 00:20:29.050
bad, murky, goes black, gets
00:20:29.050 --> 00:20:31.260
dark, they started murmurin'
00:20:31.260 --> 00:20:33.140
against him.
00:20:33.140 --> 00:20:34.080
Long as manna was fallin', he
00:20:34.080 --> 00:20:36.010
was cool.
00:20:36.010 --> 00:20:38.100
"Ooh, manna, manna, manna."
00:20:39.080 --> 00:20:42.080
But they'd gotten hungry and
00:20:42.080 --> 00:20:43.140
they'd gotten dry, and now
00:20:43.140 --> 00:20:44.250
they're frustrated with the
00:20:44.250 --> 00:20:45.220
leader.
00:20:45.220 --> 00:20:47.250
And Moses goes to God, and God
00:20:47.250 --> 00:20:49.040
says, "Speak to the rock," but
00:20:50.190 --> 00:20:53.190
"Okay, God, praise the Lord.
00:21:01.060 --> 00:21:04.060
I'm gonna go down here and speak
00:21:04.060 --> 00:21:05.000
to this rock after I speak to
00:21:05.050 --> 00:21:08.050
this people."
00:21:08.050 --> 00:21:10.160
Because frustration needs to
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.010
express itself.
00:21:12.050 --> 00:21:15.050
Frustration always needs to
00:21:15.050 --> 00:21:17.070
express itself.
00:21:17.070 --> 00:21:18.180
It can only hide so long, and
00:21:18.180 --> 00:21:20.100
then it will express itself.
00:21:20.100 --> 00:21:22.260
The people were frustrated with
00:21:22.260 --> 00:21:24.140
the leader, and now the leader
00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:25.270
is frustrated with the people.
00:21:25.270 --> 00:21:27.240
He should've spoke to the rock,
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:30.190
but because he had unresolved
00:21:30.190 --> 00:21:33.010
issues with the people, it
00:21:33.010 --> 00:21:35.020
boiled over, and now he speaks
00:21:35.020 --> 00:21:37.060
to the people when he should've
00:21:37.060 --> 00:21:38.220
been speakin' to the rock.
00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:41.030
Are you speakin' to the people
00:21:41.050 --> 00:21:44.050
instead of speakin' to the rock?
00:21:45.040 --> 00:21:48.040
Are you, Daddy, are you carrying
00:21:48.040 --> 00:21:50.260
your frustration to the people
00:21:50.260 --> 00:21:53.110
you love when you oughtta be
00:21:53.110 --> 00:21:55.110
speakin' to the rock and feeding
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:58.200
If Moses would've just got that
00:22:05.120 --> 00:22:06.060
part right, it'd all have been
00:22:06.060 --> 00:22:07.080
over.
00:22:07.080 --> 00:22:08.110
You speak to the rock, you feed
00:22:08.110 --> 00:22:10.240
the people, simple.
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:13.240
Speak to the rock, feed the
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:15.020
people.
00:22:15.020 --> 00:22:15.250
Speak to the rock, feed the
00:22:15.250 --> 00:22:16.280
people.
00:22:16.280 --> 00:22:17.260
Vent it to Jesus, not your kid.
00:22:26.130 --> 00:22:29.130
Go to Jesus and let the Spirit
00:22:29.130 --> 00:22:31.130
itself make groanings and
00:22:31.130 --> 00:22:32.260
moanings and grunt and scream
00:22:32.260 --> 00:22:35.080
and holler, not her, not the
00:22:35.150 --> 00:22:38.150
kids, not your husband.
00:22:40.150 --> 00:22:43.150
You don't tell him.
00:22:43.150 --> 00:22:45.140
Tell the rock.
00:22:45.140 --> 00:22:47.270
Give him the water.
00:22:47.270 --> 00:22:50.030
No wonder the marriage is in
00:22:50.030 --> 00:22:50.290
trouble.
00:22:50.290 --> 00:22:51.270
You're venting to him.
00:22:52.260 --> 00:22:55.260
You got too much mouth in the
00:22:55.260 --> 00:22:56.290
marriage.
00:22:57.110 --> 00:23:00.130
See, I knew--you gotta break it
00:23:00.130 --> 00:23:01.220
down to that third stage.
00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:04.040
When you break it down to that
00:23:04.040 --> 00:23:04.250
third stage, they get it.
00:23:04.250 --> 00:23:06.100
You got too much mouth in the
00:23:06.100 --> 00:23:07.160
marriage.
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:08.150
See, community language.
00:23:08.150 --> 00:23:10.230
Now, the frustration with the
00:23:10.290 --> 00:23:13.290
people--the frustration with the
00:23:13.290 --> 00:23:15.080
leader leads to the frustration
00:23:15.080 --> 00:23:18.030
with the people.
00:23:18.030 --> 00:23:21.030
And all of a sudden, Moses is in
00:23:21.030 --> 00:23:23.220
a dilemma, and he has a right to
00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:25.130
be frustrated because
00:23:25.130 --> 00:23:27.100
frustration is a sign of
00:23:27.100 --> 00:23:28.200
Sarah could tell Abraham, "Put
00:23:34.020 --> 00:23:36.060
out Hagar and her child."
00:23:37.220 --> 00:23:40.220
The reason it was easy for Sarah
00:23:40.220 --> 00:23:42.080
to say, "Put her out," she
00:23:42.080 --> 00:23:44.020
didn't have nothin' invested.
00:23:44.020 --> 00:23:46.040
Now, Abraham is moanin' and
00:23:46.040 --> 00:23:47.050
groanin' because he has
00:23:47.050 --> 00:23:48.290
investment.
00:23:48.290 --> 00:23:50.060
Wherever there is investment,
00:23:50.060 --> 00:23:52.050
there is frustration because
00:23:52.050 --> 00:23:54.150
investment creates expectation.
00:23:56.010 --> 00:23:59.010
Anytime you invest, you have
00:23:59.010 --> 00:24:00.290
expectation.
00:24:00.290 --> 00:24:03.030
And anytime you have
00:24:03.030 --> 00:24:04.080
expectation, you have the
00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:06.080
potential for disappointment.
00:24:06.080 --> 00:24:08.210
You can't be disappointed if you
00:24:08.210 --> 00:24:10.080
haven't invested anything.
00:24:10.080 --> 00:24:12.110
But if you invest something, you
00:24:12.110 --> 00:24:13.170
have an expectation.
00:24:13.170 --> 00:24:15.070
And when that expectation is not
00:24:15.070 --> 00:24:16.220
realized, you have
00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:17.180
disappointment, and
00:24:17.180 --> 00:24:18.250
disappointment, if it is not
00:24:18.250 --> 00:24:20.100
resolved, leads to frustration.
00:24:20.100 --> 00:24:22.180
He will not stay disappointed
00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:24.140
without being frustrated.
00:24:24.140 --> 00:24:25.250
If you leave your husband
00:24:25.250 --> 00:24:26.290
disappointed long enough, he's
00:24:26.290 --> 00:24:28.120
gonna be frustrated.
00:24:28.120 --> 00:24:29.210
If the woman is disappointed
00:24:29.210 --> 00:24:30.270
long enough, she's gonna get
00:24:30.270 --> 00:24:32.020
frustrated.
00:24:32.020 --> 00:24:33.030
You can only be disappointed so
00:24:33.030 --> 00:24:34.150
long before you get frustrated.
00:24:34.150 --> 00:24:36.200
Frustration is when
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.010
Frustration is disappointment
00:24:44.090 --> 00:24:46.020
hiding in your chest, screaming
00:24:48.020 --> 00:24:51.020
out of your belly, sayin', "I
00:24:51.020 --> 00:24:53.140
thought it would be better than
00:24:53.140 --> 00:24:54.240
this.
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:56.280
I thought it would be better.
00:24:56.280 --> 00:24:58.080
By now, I thought I would be
00:24:58.080 --> 00:24:59.200
further than this.
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:01.030
By now, I thought I would have
00:25:01.030 --> 00:25:02.180
my life together.
00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:03.120
By now, I thought I would be
00:25:03.120 --> 00:25:04.190
married.
00:25:04.190 --> 00:25:05.120
By now, I thought I would be in
00:25:05.120 --> 00:25:06.160
college."
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:07.080
Frustration comes through what
00:25:07.080 --> 00:25:08.170
you thought.
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.200
When what you thought doesn't
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:13.010
happen, you get frustrated.
00:25:13.010 --> 00:25:15.160
Moses, the man of God, is
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.050
frustrated.
00:25:18.120 --> 00:25:21.120
He doesn't take it to God in
00:25:21.120 --> 00:25:22.140
prayer.
00:25:22.140 --> 00:25:24.020
No, he doesn't speak to the
00:25:24.020 --> 00:25:25.220
rock.
00:25:25.220 --> 00:25:27.030
He vents to the people.
00:25:27.100 --> 00:25:30.100
Man, are you venting on this
00:25:30.100 --> 00:25:32.180
woman something because you have
00:25:32.180 --> 00:25:34.210
So, he vents.
00:25:41.130 --> 00:25:42.190
He vents, he lets her have it,
00:25:43.150 --> 00:25:46.150
mmm, mmm.
00:25:47.060 --> 00:25:50.060
He beats what he should speak
00:25:50.060 --> 00:25:51.130
to, and he speaks what he should
00:25:51.130 --> 00:25:54.050
feed to because that's what we
00:25:54.050 --> 00:25:56.160
