about this place today as a host of angel and no weapon formed against us shall prosper. And so as we begin this day, we say let God arrive and let his enemies be scattered. Let his enemies, let your enemies be scattered.  Every enemy that has set themselves against you. Let God and his enemies be scattered. Say that this morning. That's the word of God. Let God and his enemies be scattered. Father, this name of Jesus, we come into your house. This is the day. This is the day the Lord has voiced and be glad in it. And as the psalmist wrote, it is time for the Lord to work. And we ask you God to make your work today. Fulfill it, complete it. And as we honor you, let the glory of God fill this temple. Fill this temple. Lord, not these four walls. Fill this temple, Lord, with the power of your Holy Ghost Lord today. Lord, let mountains fall and chains break. Lord, let sins be washed away, broken lives be put back together. That's why we come to this house. We don't come to sing a psalm to hear three points in a poem. We come to meet God and for God to meet with us. House today, Lord, we ask the name of Jesus. I say in the name that is above every other name that at that name every knee shall bow of things in heaven and earth and under the earth. Every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. We praise you this morning. Let the people of God give him a great thunderous ovation of praise today. Hallelujah. Let's lift up his name this morning. You are worthy Lord in this place. The you deserve the Lord. Presence is here. I said God's presence is here. It's here. Some of you've been waiting on this. Some of you've been looking for the internet right now. You're feeling something that you've never felt before. It's the presence of God and God's presence is here to touch you this morning. Let's just wait for a few moments. His presence is here right now. Worship him. Worship him. Worship him. I worship you today. I worship you today. Oh, I was glad when they said unto me people all over our world and in the Ukraine right now who had to walk away from everything. We're a blessed people come to church. We get to come to church today. Twisting our arms to worship you. We get to worship you today Lord and it's a privilege to be in your house. It's a privilege to be in the presence of the king of kings and the his church this morning and we thank you for the presence of the Lord. We thank you for the presence of the Lord. The presence of the Lord. I need this morning. I want you to remain standing. A number of people need a touch from God in their life. I want you to grab your call to prayer sheet very quickly this morning. The Bible says my house should be called a house of prayer and there are a number of needs represented on this call to prayer that need a touch that need a breakthrough in their lives and God is able today to do the work and to bring us healing today. We've got word yesterday that for the Sonny Henderson passed away, went on to be with the Lord. They've ministered at this church before. Continue to remember that family and prayer that God would touch and give them strength and comfort during this time of loss. I know that there's a number of people you need God's hand and God's miracle working power. God's presence is here to do that right now. Whatever you have need of, I want you to lift that hand right now. If there's a need in your life, lift that hand as high as it can go. You see those that are next to you almost everyone in this house has a need and we're going to come together by faith and pray the prayer of faith over one another. Let's do that right now. I want you to look to the left and to the right. If you don't know their name, why don't you ask what their name is right now? Just ask what their name is. If you don't know their name, knows what you need. So, I don't want you to pray for yourself. I want you to pray for the person next to you. Can you do that? Father in the name of Jesus, we bring every need before you right now. You know every detail of our lives. You know what we're facing. You know what we're dealing with in our hearts and our lives. You see the pride of the world and you know what's taking place and we're asking you almighty God that you would reach down that hand and you would touch. Touch my neighbor that's standing right by me right now.  They're in need of a touch from you. Eat your strength. Lord, they're not watching by accident from all over the world. Go right now to where they're at and touch them and strengthen them. We're believing you right now. Moving this sanctuary. Let it be a day that we'll never forget. And we'll ask this in the mighty name of Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus. Come on, give God a great big hand clap in this house. Peace to me than in the house of God.

I want us to pray this morning.  You take advantage of that multiple ways. In fact, on the screen behind me, I want us to pray as our ushers get ready and I have one more announcement after that. Amen. Father, we thank you today for the privilege that we have to give. We are an extremely blessed people. All we've got to do is look at the news and see families, so many that have been scattered just from the atrocities that we're seeing on the news pertaining to the Ukraine churches that are in desperate trouble in homes. Father, we're blessed people and I pray God that we won't take that for granted. Help us Lord in the area of our tithe and our offering. We pray for increase like never before and we ask it in Jesus' name. Everyone says amen and amen. God bless you today as you give. I do want to, while they're receiving this morning's tithe and offering, I do want to remind those of you that are interested in our next starting point class. Our next starting point class will begin March the 30th and we want to encourage you to sign up online if you will. Sign up online and let us know if you are desiring to participate in that. It is a powerful class and in that class you're able to know more about the core values of Pace Assembly about what Pace Assembly believes and also an incredible way to get to meet other people and also get to know more about our pastor and our first ladies. So we we do encourage you, those of you that will, sign up for that. You may say well brother Jason I've been coming to this church for a year or two years and I haven't been a part of anything like that. We encourage you to sign up. Go ahead and go through it. You may have been at this church for a number of years and you haven't been able yet to connect into the life and to the body of the church. That's what starting point is all about and we want you to sign up for that. And speaking of our starting point class it is an honor this morning to be able to introduce the first graduating class since COVID of our starting point. And brother Michael's gonna come and to all of those that are being brought into the church body for membership today as brother Michael calls your name if you will come to the front and face the pulpit this morning. Thank you. Pastor Jason coming from membership this morning we have John Almond, Cora Boston, Farrah Clark, Vanessa Culliver, Michelle Denji, Daniel and Angela Dublin, Rob and Marilyn Earnhardt, Allison Frye, Barry and Corey Gessimer, Zaria Griffin, Rebecca Hilburn, Thomas and Faye Lindsey, Stephen and Bethany McDonald, Lewis Murado, Sylvia Murado, Julie Parrott, Rebecca Pickard, William and Stephanie Schaener, Margaret Sherwood, Brian and Catherine Spears, Alberto and Irene Valentin, Josiah White and LaGerald and Tracy White. Is this awesome here this morning? Come on stand to your feet right now and let them know how much you appreciate them for being a part of this service and a part of this church today. What a blessing what an incredible group of people that have completed the starting point class and we are more than excited to bring you in to the body of Christ and the family of the Lord here at Pace Assembly and I pray that today will be a fresh brand new day. It's a day when others are able you can be seated for a moment out there when others are able to see what God is doing inside of our church but not only that but you being able to receive the blessing and the anointing of God that flows through this house on a regular basis and we are more than thrilled to be able to have you join us in the family. Now we'll tell you straight up that church membership is not salvation. We don't we don't take in members that aren't saved because you've got to be understanding what the doctrine is and so we're not getting you here to shake your hand and say that salvation that comes through the cross and through the blood but you're joining this body of believers because of several things not the least of which is the fact that you believe that this is the place that God has sent you to be a part of and I am delighted and there's a few things that I want to share with you and with this congregation we do every time we have new members join. It's a reminder to all the rest of us what our responsibilities are but to all of you that are here in front of me it will remind you of what your responsibility is as well as a member of Pace Assembly. The Bible says in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 19 now you are no longer strangers to God and foreigners to heaven but you're members of God's very own family citizens of God's country and you belong in God's house with every other Christian. Today there's a lot of floating around and many that have lost their faith but for all that have read the magazines the periodicals the newspapers and everybody else that says that church membership is going down and that the church is irrelevant for today please take a look at the first graduating class after COVID. For that reason membership is an act of commitment and that act of commitment means that I identify as a true believer that it gives a spiritual family for me to have support help me walk through my relationship with the Lord disciple gives me a place to discover my gifts and my ministry all of these things are so critically important for each and every one of us and so for that reason I want to be able to share with you some things specifically that will help you to become not only a better member but to have a clear understanding of what your responsibility is and here is these items here are these items and you can put them on the wall for everyone if you will it says that I as a member will protect the unity of the church by doing these things by acting in love toward one another by refusing to gossip thank you for those grunts and an amen I'll just stop here and say you may have a drug problem you may have an alcohol problem you might have all kinds of problems and we will love you and we will support you and we will believe that God is able to deliver but hear me and hear me clearly we work too hard to have a great spiritual loving church then to let the cancer of gossip tear down and destroy so I say to you today that if you gossip against the leadership or against one another I'm going to send two board members to visit you at your house and either you'll say I need to get right or you'll need to get left because we will preserve the unity of the body of Christ at Pace Assembly I'm going to step to the side of this pulpit and then I'm going to step back in and say that one more time we will as members preserve the unity of this church regardless if somebody's got a problem you tell them go see the pastor it'll be all right in the morning amen we love everybody here and that's so critically important and also following the leadership the second thing is is that you will take participation and sharing in the responsibility of your church by doing what? by praying for its growth there we go by inviting the un-church to attend I want you to know I love everybody but Pace Assembly may not be the church for everybody there's different styles and I get that I just want to let you know there are some Baptists that are going to heaven whether you Pentecostals believe it or not and on and on but I want you to know and one of the things in my ministry for all of our ministry we have never proselyted from other churches and called it church growth for Pace Assembly that's not it's not biblical and it won't be done if somebody comes here because they want and believe that they're supposed to be here then they can come the right way go through the starting point class and they can close the door of where they've been in a proper way and then enter here if you say I'm from another church and I believe God's calling me here go back to your pastor let him know in a private conversation that you feel like that God is moving you to the different place get the blessing of that pastor and come join us and we'll receive you you don't understand many people just want to jump from place to place and you can never bear fruit if you do that we want you to bear fruit to your maximum amen thank you for those three amen's in a grunt so by warmly welcoming those who visit why do myself pastor Jason and others that stand in this pulpit after we've worshiped and all turn around and ask you to go shake hands and be friendly because the bible says if you want to have a friend you got to be one part of your responsibility now will be to reach out to other people especially those that are guests coming to Pace Assembly for the first time but to be able to know those who labor among us is a critical thing and then your responsibility is that I will serve the ministry of the church by discovering my gifts and talents by being equipped to serve by developing a servant's heart that regardless of what God requires of me I'm ready to do it and then I will support the testimony of my church by attending faithfully I don't quite understand how that people say they go to a church and they never attend I've taken people in in this line before a membership and that was the last time I saw them how many of you know if you're going to call your church your church you need to like show up faithfully I got a question for you if your husband only came home one time a month ate the dinner and went through his husbandly duties would you call that faithful whoo I'm preaching right now I'm just asking you a question would you call would you call receiving a paycheck from your work every third week even though you work faithfully full time faithful it's not a trick question some of you are all locked up because you know right now you're not faithful you got to get faithful if you're going to be faithful to your husband and wife you're going to go home to him every night come on it's tight but it's right I know what I'm talking about I'll tell you one thing if I only came home one time a week she said where you been don't worry about where you've been you need to know where you're going and I'm about to tell you my name is Joey Rogers you spell the last name r-o-g-e-r-s I have just told you who the pastor this church is if someone asked you who is your pastor and where you go to church know my name and know how to spell it otherwise you don't go to this church I don't know you either thank you for those three amen's in a grunt by living a godly life if you're going to put a bumper sticker on your car don't hang out a bottle of Russian vodka I'm just being playing here this morning look at your neighbor and tell him you better be listening and then third by giving regularly I want you to know we don't have corporate sponsorships of pace assembly and during the season of covid we have seen the greatest increase financially it's amazing during covid that we've ever seen in my tenure here I'm telling you this is God's house and everybody participates and when you do you will receive the blessings of the Lord upon your life as a faithful giver and a tender of this church and so today it is my honor and privilege to be able to bring you into the body of Christ into the family of God here at pace assembly and this is our commitment together as a church body and as members if you'll put it on the wall I'd like for all of you please to stand and we say this together that pace assembly is committed to see people say if you believe that say a good amen I'd like for our ministers and their wives a board of member board members and their wives to come and stand behind these that are standing in front of me and I'm just telling you each and every one that we have met and had interaction with you and and what God is going to do in your life now I'm just going to tell you we did not have it necessarily scheduled for you to become and stand on this particular day as a member but this day you will remember this day not only are you getting in on the day that we will be honoring israel but you'll see the favoring hand of God upon your life because this day you're becoming a part of this body of Christ and I don't know what NATO is going to do and I don't know what the UN's going to do but I'm just going to tell you we will stand with you and beside you and pray for you and hold you up and you do the same for us amen would you just stretch out your hands those are you standing behind stretch your hand this direction lay your hands upon them right behind as we pray right now the favoring hand of God upon each and every one play if you will poo father in the name of Jesus we thank you today for your hand lord that is resting upon each and every person that is here today that stands in this line to say I'm committing myself to faithful membership at pace assembly lord we ask that your favor would rest upon each and every one that you're anointing would rest upon them from this day forward in a very special way lord we ask that your grace would be upon their family we pray for their family members right now god that may be unsafe or away from the lord that you would rescue them and bring them back that you would touch their lives and see the hand of the lord that is upon them god be manifest to them and their entire household we praise you god now because we know that you're going to use their gifts in every endeavor to bless this house and this house will be a blessing to them we ask it today in the mighty name of Jesus christ and for your glory and everybody who believes it shout a great big amen would you give all of these a great round of applause turn right around right where you are there's someone there to shake your hand and welcome you into the family of god come on do it right now would you turn around and shake somebody's hand that's standing beside you right now let them know how glad you are to see him in the house of the lord i know that you are i know that god is going to touch your life today amen are you blessed and highly favored here today would you give the lord a great praise he's worthy of right now i want to just make a couple of announcements to you tonight the doors will open at six p.m promptly at six and we will welcome you and many many others into this sanctuary for a night to honor israel i am so excited about tonight how do i know that this is the right thing to do well there's a lot of reasons but not to mention the fact that every time we do one of these events a night to honor israel there is adversity that comes from every side and i told my wife this morning before we left here i said i've just kind of been waiting to see and she said please i said no something there i know what the devil doesn't like and i know we're right on the edge there's going to be a fight so when we arrived here this morning we had an immediate issue with the transportation just to get pastor hagi here that's been worked out just before the service four different computers that we attempted to fit in the back to run the appropriate powerpoint for our speaker this morning crashed four minutes before this service other than that everything's great i can assure you there will be a night to honor israel tonight right here it faces simply if i've got to call the state department and everybody else and put them on this big fat screen back here seven o'clock is start time we only have uh seating uh of what you see in this building and we're preparing for overflow in the chapel it will be first come first serve i need you to know when you arrive tonight there'll be no backpacks only diaper bags and every other bag including that will be searched before you enter the building we will have folks at the front door that will scan everyone and i will tell you this because i know where i live and i know that this is northwest florida and i also know that there's probably 90 of the people out here that probably have a concealed carry a weapon so i'm alerting any terrorists that are in the building right now no matter what happens somebody might get hurt warning so when they do and there would be ones at the front door that they'll be winding everyone if you are carrying we're going to ask you to return any device back to your car only those who will be authorized our security team along with the centers of county sheriff's department will be in house tonight to provide all the security that's necessary i can assure you this will be the most secure event for this entire year no doubt about it so you can come and enjoy the night it is first come first serve seating in here we're asking you please to come and don't be laying out blankets and stuff like that for people that haven't arrived all right we need you to come and we need all the room we can get once we fill this building we will then send the folks to the overflow we're also going to ask you please that if uh if you are not handicapped don't sit in the handicap locations where there is a marker on the floor and the chair i'm making that announcement on a regular basis so that you won't sit in the chair that's marked handicap if you're not handicapped okay absolutely necessary otherwise i'm going to ask the sheriff's department to write you a ticket right here in the building makes sense yeah you like double part right there that's exactly right so please help us with that smile at somebody i'm trying to get this across to you when you come tonight i want you to come prayed up and i want you to bring an offering i believe god's already set a number in my mind that i want to be able to see us bless this ministry of christians united for israel it is more important now than ever before pastor why are you always trying to connect everything to israel i don't have to try as i speak today russia who is invading the ukraine has already declared to jerusalem that the gullin heights do not belong to you so basically he is saying all of you arab states and anybody else that wants to get ready we're coming down there we're going to give the right land well let me just say to you the bible has already spoken very clearly about what's going to happen with gawg and maygon if you haven't been in the forecast on wednesday night you need to go back and watch it's already there but god give us god give us jewish men and gentile men and women and gent uh and jewish men and women who are like the president of the ukraine okay you know me who are not like the cowards in the leadership of america right now who offered the president and his family to evacuate from the ukraine he said quote the fight is here i need ammunition not a ride i'm gonna give me a t-shirt i'm gonna give me a t-shirt that says i don't need ammunition i mean i don't need a ride i need ammunition you know what we're gonna give to our jewish friends that are here tonight in this area and those that are watching we're gonna give them not a ride we're gonna give them the ammunition by letting them know that pace assembly and people are standing with the nation of israel i wish you'd give the lord a hand clap he's worthy isn't that beautiful god help us let us pray for our men and women who are on the front line and the men and women of the ukraine and even in russia where they don't like what's going on let me tell you i read it i won't read it to you read it this afternoon i was reading an article concerning what the ukrainian christians are doing of course you saw the picture last week that they're praying on their knees in the snow but as they're getting bombarded i was reading the article that many have taken up psalm chapter 31 psalm chapter 31 and they've been reading psalm 31 i'm just going to read you the first opening verse it says this in the o lord do i put my trust let me never be ashamed deliver me in thy righteousness how many of you know that god of heaven will hear that prayer when they pray so i want to encourage you to come prepared come with an offering come believing god for a great night and i know that god is going to bless our lives with what he's going to do now as you prepare your hearts this morning for what the lord is going to speak it is my wonderful delight to be able to bring someone to this pulpit who is a personal friend last time they were here they did a marriage conference and what a tremendous time that was since that time they just got back from Delaware doing another one and uh we were thrilled to be able to be the first one after many years of uh them being able to do marriage conferences and so forth but his his work at christians united for israel is uh he has taught me so much that i wouldn't i would certainly shame myself if i uh said some of the things that i have in the past without understanding but he's helped me to be able to understand how to approach this and how to be able to write kind of leader to be associated with christians united for israel and so today is all about israel it's all about supporting israel and it's all about giving glory to the god of abraham isaac and jacob his titles are really many um he is the official he is officially the educational national director for kufi around the united states he's been our representative here uh for kufi that now that baton has been passed off for the state of florida to our own kirby calhoun who is here in the service with us doing an incredible job his latest book i had the privilege he called asked me to read read it before it was published and then write a forward and jews gentiles and the mystery of redemption he won't do this for himself that's the reason why i'm doing it you can go on to amazon right no you can't go on amazon you can order it directly from him and i'm going to just tell you that if you want an understanding of that relationship and how to approach it you need to get this book and if you don't enjoy the writing in there you can just enjoy the forward that i wrote down it's only a couple of lines that's worth the whole book right i want you this morning to welcome my dear friends uh and a friend of this ministry and someone who is going to and and bring the word of god to you this morning in power and in authority would you stand to your feet today and welcome our good friends pastor victor and marita starsky come on let him know how much you appreciate we give him thanks this morning in the name of his son Jesus please be seated my wife and i give thanks for all of you starting with pastor and first lady jason the high potentate of praise pastor poo and his tribe starship enterprise there in the back and ryan the greeters the teachers god only can do good things when he finds good leaders would you join me in thanking god for pastor and first lady i was studying early this morning because the message i have to bring is not really appropriate for a sunday morning and for you that are new to the church be sure you come back next week and it'll be church actually won't be church to be church church but it is appropriate when the lord says to bring it and what it is and from my reading i got a very clear word this is a sounding of a shofar message and the sounding of a shofar had many purposes one of them was an awakening to god's people and that there would be a gathering specifically because the lord had need the lord had need yes we come to him with our needs and so did the children of israel over and over again it's what we're called to do because he cares for us there are moments when he needs us and when he brought the children of israel into the promised land the first time he just needed 12 men to come back with a good report because the children of israel were scared to death they really were giants he just needed somebody come back the leaders with a good report and this day this night you have a list of jews coming into this church that are the who's who the who's who are jews you've got leaders within the jewish community coming here tonight because they've heard a rumor there was a place unlike the rest of the world that loves the jewish people they've heard a rumor that there is a people in pace that are concerned and want to stand with them and beloved they're coming tonight and they will go back to their communities and their blog sites and their journals and their writing and their editorials and they'll bring a report and beloved god needs you to come tonight and i'm blowing so far the best way i know how in this message so when we're done you run home get yourself a chicken wing or a taco take a little nap and unless you want to really literally stand with israel don't come at seven come around six thirty or you will be standing because we got people coming from all over but beloved this is one of those moments tonight we're not going to remember much five thousand years from now we're not going to talk about much that we did this night every now and then as we walk through the streets of gold we'll say hey you were you were at that night you were at that night in pace and we'll be so glad we were here so god's no respecter of persons what's this thing about the jews the jews the jews pastor why are we called to stand with them do people suffering everywhere people need our love and support and we love everybody why are you suggesting some unique call for us to support the jewish people i'm going to start with a very simplest of reasons using the word of god but first and especially now that we know pastor hey he's actually coming tonight because oh we ran into some and what the enemy wanted for evil god used for good i'm going to let him bring the first 60 seconds on why we should stand with the jewish people pastor as soon as we get the sound on pastor is saying the following and i would never speak on his behalf but he is preaching the gospel and he is saying it is the jew of jews that came and god offered on that cross for all of us and because of this we must stand and appreciate the jewish people well what are we doing back there this thing is just playing havoc with me now the word of god takes us even further into this talk amongst yourselves for a moment it's going to be like this the rest of the day no just so you know and now this is not a this is not a bad reporter a negative confession there are going to be flat tires today there are going to be some sick sick babies today there's going to be some sniffle and i'm tired and today there's going to be things that are going to come try and interrupt your life today because this is a day we will think about five thousand years pastor christian junei for israel today right now is the largest pro-israel organization in america with over 10 million active members it all began in jerusalem if you are not a member of christian junei for israel you should be if you are a bible believer you are a zionist there's a supernatural presence of god in jerusalem like nor the place on the earth few christians understand the supernatural power connected to jerusalem jerusalem is the city of david the place that god calls home god the father took his son the landlord god and placed him on the altar of the cross and took his life that you and you and you and i could be forever saved and be redeemed by the amazing grace of god hey let's start with the easiest reasons and i love a man who's preached the whole gospel to the whole world for 60 years and he weeps every time he speaks of it my man and that's my dear friend and boss pastor hagi why support the jewish people the new testament gives us some ideas how about this jesus speaking salvations of the jews let's start with that what does he mean this is before the cross this is before the the resurrection and this is christ come what does he mean we read a jewish book beloved every word both sides written by jew other than luke and axe every apostle jew every prophet a jew marry joseph jesus jews it's a fact john the baptist wasn't a baptist no they try to claim him but no he weren't jew we are Gentiles through the mercies of god we have been grafted into this rich nourishing root through the mercies of christ paul said to us you were outside the citizenship of israel you didn't know the covenant promises god had made you were in the world without hope you were in the world without god and then came jesus who grafted us in to the rich what did he graft us into the abrahamic covenant i will be your god you will be my people i will dwell within you is what it says and we are grafted into those spiritual promises before christ we were outside of all of it it's why he called that woman weeping at his feet for her daughter who was possessed by a demon jesus said it's not good to give my children's food to the dogs he wasn't being mean it just wasn't her time yet aren't you glad it's our time and by the way he did heal her daughter but she came a Gentile dog and listened to me she went home a Gentile dog whose little baby girl was no longer filled with demons it just wasn't her time yet that's how far away we were from god's mercies salvation is from the new the new testament continues why support the Jews if we share in their spiritual blessing if it's all we have and paul says to us clearly if because you share in their blessings you're you need to support them not just with prayers with action tonight is one of those moments where we have friends coming in they've heard they've heard something they can hardly believe that there is a people because beloved if you're not watching the whole world is against israel right now that's how rare you are that's how precious you are under pastor's leadership when did this love affair begin let me just couple meat and potato thing you already know these but just for maybe some new new believers where did this love affair begin with god and the jewish people began when a man named abram at this point they've been walking together about 15 years god had made abram some amazing amazing promises the abrahamic covenant we're really just looking at the land aspect of that today because part of the promise is abram i'm giving you a piece of land north south east west it's yours it's going to be passed on perpetually every generation and it's yours forever we know that little piece of land is the nation of israel and we know that it's been almost 2000 years since the jews have been back in the land until our our generation they're back in the land well 15 years of walking together abram did what makes perfect sense and that is he believed the lord of course he did and do you love this he believed the lord and he was credited with what anybody in here ever believed something and you went from unrighteous to righteous whosoever this is where god first starts showing these things to man god it was the same then it's the same now faith alone and god alone i love the funky faith of abram why would you say that about well the patriot oh because he was funky with his faith i believe god i believe now you don't look at the next words i was wealth uh wait a minute god how do i know for sure wait a minute what do you mean what abram you're killing me 15 years you know for sure because i told you you just said you believed what can what could god do abram had woken each morning for 15 years to the shekaina of god visually visually heard his voice walked with him god says abram you're killing me how about this how about i swear to god i swear to god i'll keep these promises it's what he did god swore to god that he'd keep these promises to abram he gives them a little bit more information about his wife sarah of course abram pushed back wait me and my wife sir god we old we ain't really doing that much anymore god says yeah don't worry about it if any of you here are waiting on the lord i am my wife and i we have things we shout and cry and believe god for thank you two of us are waiting on the lord and a couple more thank you of course we are abram when he first met god till he first heard the cry of this little isaac's sweet lips you know is over 20 years we're in good company wait on the lord wait on the lord those who do will never be ashamed so we stand together in that well this promise you know my wife and i were pastors in the in the inner city oak park smoke park holla 916 all that stuff for about 30 years so what we did back home we'd say god put his street cred on this promise to all the nations forever this how you know i'm god watch i can redeem this people and i can redeem the land i've given to just watch and this promise is so important he has the prophets speak about it now when i say the prophets i mean every single prophet except malachi as you read your scriptures from now on watch for it a people a promise a property and the power of god to fulfill it you're gonna see it every single prophet talks about this day and this night where some Gentiles will see it and come support the Jewish people one of the psalms says when the lord delivered the captive back to Zion Zion means israel it was like a dream for them they couldn't believe it and their mouths were filled with song and their tongues would shout some joy and then it was said amongst the Gentiles the lord has done great things for you what the Gentiles never come around the Jews and say come on go for it your god is come on give me a j give me an e give me a w it's gonna be okay Gentiles have never done that tonight we get a chance to do that to lift their hands like erin and ur i love this god says i'm gonna bring you back to your land it's a ruined land never again will you be up running can i bring you to israel for a minute because every word god says it's true this is the land of israel part of it think of the valley of armageddon the valley of miguedo i should say this is part of it looked like that for centuries and centuries but god said it would bloom it would bloom like a rose oh we go there now pastor and i we've been there some of you have been there the prophets continue every single prophet ezekiel it's going to be a desolate land it's going to be desolate it's going to be destroyed it's going to be in ruins it's going to be desolate do you get the idea it's going to be kind of tore up from the floor up when they come back but the first time he brings him in he says it's i'm gonna take you into a land of milk and not not this this time not for good when i bring you back first time we're going into north strums this time it's like the dollar store the hula valley centuries of marshland malaria dead the whole land of israel was in ashcloth it was in morning it would not respond to nature like the faithful wife whose husband goes off to war she dresses in black she will never wear makeup again till he comes home that's the land of israel until the jewish people come in this same spot we go there looks a little something like that because god said i love this story 66 jewish families well they buy a big cat box is pretty much what it is they buy a big thing of sand and they pay way too much money for it people say they stole land they said no they bought most of it and paid way too much 66 families scratched their names in seashells dropped them in a bucket pulled the name out schmooly good to see you and your family you get over there the abram's family okay how about you take those great sam good good to see you know what forget it just go to work it really doesn't matter and we know jews can make bricks without straw if ferro makes them do come to that same spot right now that's the exact same spot on the coast of japa that's where jonah took off and many other things that same exact spot because god and yet with all of the blessing that the jews have been to the whole world to this very day throughout the history of mankind google the world's longest hate or have your grandson or daughter show you how to google when you get home the world's longest hatred and there's plenty of hate but the world's longest is jew hatred anti-semitism over 2300 years non-stop to this very moment and as people as gentiles we may not understand we don't understand but as we discover it's true i'll have a person people come up to me and say when when did when did that start when did that begin it began in the womb of egypt when the children of israel were being formed of a nation you remember the story the ferro who did not know joseph and he said we're going to kill every single hebrew baby boy throw him in the nile river we'll feed the crocodiles and that nile river was red with blood that's why moses's mother was afraid that they'd come to her house take their baby when it was time she put him in a cradle she put him what faith she put him in the nile river thank god for our sister shifra ampua show up jifsh and midwives god bless you sisters not only did you make us you pop up in the scripture all the time and you save us over and over and over again this is one one instance of that and those that bless them will be blessed and shifra ampua said we're girl we ain't gonna kill those babies tell the rest of the midwives and thank god the children of israel lived well they get into the promise land fast forward we got some stuff to cover and we'll get to then go home and come back they get to the promise land they get in Solomon builds the temple what a what a beautiful story that is it's known all throughout the known world and they have about 400 years in the promise land and some of the years are really good and some of the years are really really bad and they turn away from god god had said to them early on the land will be yours those strings attached that's called an unconditional covenant but if you don't live the land you gotta live in your right mind you gotta live right with me they did not do that he snatched them out of the land you know the story of the Babylonian exile or do you how many years were they exiled anybody 70 good exactly right god brings them back most of them did not come back they've been gone for a couple generations but enough came back they rebuilt the temple and now these are contemporaries in a sense we have the story of Esther another woman our sisters oh aren't they something and Esther saves the world because she saved the Jewish people which meant Jesus could be born god bless her we're in the new testament now the temple's been rebuilt Jesus walks by with his disciples and he prophesies a horrible prophecy to him and to his brother he said not one stone will be left upon another and 70 ad Rome came in and they had had it you think Jesus had it with the religious leaders do you know the zealots of that time had had it with the religious leaders three years before the temple was destroyed do you know the religious zealots this is amazing they murdered the high priest in the streets of Jerusalem the zealots said when you read about Simon Peter the zealot that's his people they're cut your ear off people there were there were people looking for god well the city was destroyed Jews were cast out throughout the world for almost 1900 years they eventually made it into Europe and as they did we have a period of time known as the crusades do you know the crusades were 200 years long what was an eight crusade there were eight or nine of them they carried the flag of Christ they were going to Jerusalem to save it from the Muslims and they'd come into little ghettos or cities or towns or villages of Jews and those Jews didn't convert man women children were killed hundreds of thousands of them over 200 years this takes us further into history now i'm a boomer i can tell by the color of hair i'm in good company here in some of the places and i did not pay attention in high school i just wanted to go play rock and roll music but i do remember this in 1492 Columbus see we paid attention a little bit we learned a little something something else happened in 1492 same time as Columbus that was the end of another 200 year period known as the Spanish Inquisition and for 200 years if you lived in Spain or any of its territories and you were a Jew who did not convert you were a dead Jew you your wife and children and the horrendous stories i won't go into them thousands and thousands of Jews killed and are you kind of getting the idea why the Jewish people are scared to death of us and we can't even begin to touch on how it continued throughout history but there's some Jewish people in very high places like the spies going into the promised land they're coming in tonight to see if these giants aren't friendly because they've heard that we're lovers of them and lovers of their god you want to be here tonight you really will well we get into the and look at the dates we're inching closer and closer to the Holocaust a pogrom is probably a word you don't know a pogrom it's a state sponsored massacre of a certain ethnic group a pogrom and the Jews suffered in pogroms in russia kind of headed headed up by the russian orthodox church sponsored by the state and yet as we get closer and closer to the Holocaust beloved you need to understand and some of you do that the Holocaust did not start with bullets and gas chambers and ovens the Holocaust started with words because the power of life and death is in the truly is there were signposts on the way to arsh fits listen one point one million jews ten percent of the jewish population of all of europe was brought here in that period of time and murdered based on propaganda and lies things which have absolutely nothing to do with reality in germany it began with words at the bottom of a newspaper the jews are our misfortune it began in the 1920s the first anti-jewish law that law says that do not buy anything from a jew do not use any jewish parts the first step is boycott i call those signposts along the road to arsh fits the signs were there big and bold nobody bothered to get that is why when ten years ago the concept of a boycott divestment and sanctions against israel came along i screamed and yelled at the top of my voice if there's one thing we need to learn from the Holocaust you must recognize those signposts along the road to arsh fits let's have a little pop quiz i want to put a couple sentences on the screen these are words that change the history of the jewish people change the history of the world these are words from a self-proclaimed christian don't shout out who you think it is let your neighbor discover it by themselves i give you four choices and these words also change the history of the world watch a self-proclaimed christian wrote and published these words four choices keep your choice to yourself and one by one i will take the words excuse me i'll take the names away and you'll have a decision to make who did this who wrote these words and changed the world forever our guy the Protestant reformer beloved we don't know what we don't know i see a lot of those eyes i see a lot of drop jobs that's our guy people say yeah that's the catholic church crusades that's the catholic church spanish inquisition beloved we don't know what we don't know in the 1500s martin luther wrote on the jews and their lives and he changed the history of the world and it's not taught and it's not spoken about and if we have a thousand 1500 jews in a room every jew will look at each other and say well oh of course we know of that of course we know of the protestant hate for us evangelical lutheran church came out with an apology for it i'm not impressed it took him over 450 years to get to it that's a long time second part of it is what's astounding to me because they don't even understand it we express our deep and abiding sorrow over its tragic effects on subsequent generations here's what they're talking about here's what they're talking about the effect it had later in life this get an english version you'll see that the name i won't even speak but in minecraft he praises a great he praises luther as a great warrior a true statesman and a great reformer doesn't stop there thank god there was no social media during world war two but germany nazi germany had a propaganda machine if you've never studied it and over and over and over and over again they used luther's image luther's words uh the german below it says hitlers struggle hitlers and luther's teaching on the jews and the lies are the best defense for the jewish people the power of life and death is in the words and all of this of course led to the holocaust do you know what the word holocaust means it's a greek word burnt offering burnt offering and if you have jewish friends you'll often hear them refer to it as the shoah and they don't make a fuss about it they know the gentiles wouldn't understand they prefer the word shoah which means absolute decimation for 1900 years the jews had been cast out of their land and everywhere they went and any slide on here beloved is an hour lecture so i apologize for being so brief but everything i say is true about history and our history i have no guilt over it it's my father's house but i carry the burden of it and i ask god to forgive us for the sins of our father's house and that's biblical and i'll ask my jewish friends to forgive us for the sins of our father's house but for 1900 years everywhere they went they were disdained and persecuted and cast out generally led by christians and they never stopped crying out next year in jewsland next year in jewsland oh god next year in jewsland and then a miracle happened after nearly 2000 years of exile and foreign domination the jewish people once again were free in their own land on may 14th 1948 david ben gory proclaimed israel's official independence and modern rebirth celebration was short-lived the next day five arab armies attacked israel short on manpower resources and with almost no international assistance israel miraculously survived and even gained ground but independence came at a great cost israel lost 6373 people in the war nearly one percent of its entire population after more than a year of fighting the arab nations made armistice agreements with israel and withdrew for the first time in two millennia the jewish people had a national home and a strong defense force won't he do it won't he do it the god who makes and keeps promises the power of god beloved anti-semitic rhetoric and actions right now on this day are the same level around the world as pre-nazi germany the same level in our jewish friends know it europe many jews in europe have already moved they've left christian europe they're gone germany france australia great britain unbelievable what's happening there canada we could do the rest i'm wrapping up here in a bit we could do the rest that we won't there are places not just in germany but in germany specifically where they've jewish men have been warned don't don't don't go outside wearing your kippah you know what the kippah is the prayer hat do you know why the men wear it gosh pastor we should get some of our pastor friends to wear it around the world it reminds that jewish man somebody's watching you somebody's watching you boy we'd possibly keep some embarrassing headlines in the newspaper and lots and lots of tears from ever happening if men in our community would at least be aware at all times and that's why they wear it and i love it they're told don't wear it outside why because everybody can see you're jew it's not safe beloved it's worse than that watch that rally is actually a group on our campus so are you nervous on campus now yeah walking around campus i actually i'm not gonna lie i do fear for my life like i'm constantly in like paranoid like watching behind me and stuff like i'm actually afraid to walk by myself sometimes but this year i've come back uh some of my orthodox friends he won't work keep anybody he always work even the first thing says like why do you not have to keep on because i'm afraid to walk around with that on like i do not feel comfortable at our school walking with that on what is going on on our campuses come with me to college for 18 seconds this is a college that was 20 minutes away from my wife where we lived for 30 years until about a year and a half ago we escaped excuse me moved to um uh texas 18 seconds come to college i'm going to take you into a little gathering that some jews and christians put together brought in some people from israel to teach about what's israel's really happening there watch students for justice in palestine they're not concerned with justice they just hate jews and they're this is what happens on almost any campus you try to have a pro-israel event come tonight we'll have some students here we'll have a leader of students on 14 states will be here you're going to lift his hands tonight too and he needs encouraging come tonight for that students for justice in palestine those three things the first one was what free free palestine palestine palestine is ruled by palestinians and there's two million jews living in israel that are the free two million arab palestinians living in israel that are freest Arabs in the world what do you mean free palestine free palestine from who take you into their classroom for a moment this is their logo palestinian logo let me put a map on top of that that's oh that's israel oh from the river to the sea palestine shall be free when every jew is pushed into the Mediterranean when they say free free palestine that's what they mean and it's in their textbooks and thank you you and i have paid for these textbooks the united the united nations prints them for them there's no israel all that belongs to the palestinians the jews have stolen it their children in palestine and throughout the radical Arab nations their kids wake up every day to their sesame street programming it's a it's it's bona fide by the palestinian authority and it looks something like this they grow up hate has to be taught so it is love but they grow up being told that that lands has been stolen it's occupied and just wait we're going to get it all back it's not the only thing they're taught and i have hours of this type of footage watch this there it is that's why she loves her she's wearing the from the river to the sea and they watch this all day long all day long 24 hours a day that's what the kids watch and get fed from the river to the sea palestine shall be free it's a chant that's gone all throughout the middle east and all across the united states of america outside college boston massachusetts students for justice in palestine there are many college campuses across the nation that's california wide intifada long live intifada remember that do they even know what intifada means i hate playing this on a sunday morning but i'm blowing a shofar and it's disruptive and it's god calling his children together because there's a time he needs a physical representation of what's in his heart and it's going to happen tonight this is a little under two minutes intifada intifada long live intifada on october 9th 2050 hamas leader ismail hania declared a day of rage a day that will represent that start of a new intifada in all the land of palestine the stabbing intifada began as an increase in terror attacks against israelis it lasted largely until 2018 but sadly palestinian terror including stabbing attacks continues plo chairman makmu debas incited palestinians against israelis by declaring that israelis were desecrating the temple mount the location of two muslim holy sites with their filthy feet he falsely announced that israel would soon restrict muslim access to the temple mount inflaming palestinians to commit violence against jewish israelis although the israeli government issued statements assuring that they were not going to withhold access to the temple mount from muslims palestinian leadership continued to encourage violence in speeches and on social media this launched a stabbing intifada marking an increase in terror attacks against israelis that continued for several years and is still a problem today as a result israeli saw more terrorism in 2015 than they'd seen in close to a decade 28 people were killed including 22 civilians two foreigners three members of israeli security services and one palestinian as of february 2018 192 stabbings and 139 attempted stabbings had taken place in israel as well as other attacks by shooting vehicle ramming and bus bombings 62 people have been killed by these acts of terror if you have high school seniors here going to college we need to talk to them they can sign up tonight we want to fly them to washington dc we'll put them in hotels for four or five days we're going to prepare them for this they'll go in as champions right now we're sending them onto our college campuses in swimsuits with water balloons we want to prepare your college bound seniors and any college students here come tonight we'll tell you how we're going to fly to the dc oh we're going to get you all prepped up and you'll join kufa on campus you'll meet one of our brave leaders tonight so free palestine uh intifada intifada log intifada anyone remember the third one israel is an apartheid state israelis what can somebody get them a dictionary please look up the word you have no idea what you're even saying any system or practice that separates people according to races the two million palestinian Arabs that live in israel are full citizens they have every right as every jew they're the freest Arabs in the world yes in america we sure know what this apartheid looked like we have hideous years in our past of being an apartheid state and these were some of the laws god forgive us for and he has none of these restrictions let me take you to israel with me i mean literally i've got my phone on top of my head i'm walking through the shuk market one of my favorite places come with me why do i do this because we're passing jews and palestinians in the same marketplace there's no jewish bathroom arab bathroom you have jews with businesses selling you have palestinians in the right there selling goods this is israel's a floristic this democracy what do you mean apartheid state the devil is a liar he's come to steal and kill and destroy and you say a lie and say it long enough people begin believing it apartheid again we have two political parties my wife and i quit watching news three years ago we get the headlines you have to but my two political parties was making me crazy and not giving me joy or life i vote always vote i vote on a platform not on a personality anytime you vote you're putting on the cleanest dirty shirt in the closet i know that sometimes you gotta pinch your nose close your eyes be sure you hit the right button but i do vote two political parties israel has ten ten political parties in the kinesis the third largest one most powerful palestinian arab and they're running the country of israel now with the new prime minister apartheid but our students are not ready for this because they don't just hear it from the radical group they'll hear it from some of their christian peer group and they'll see it in the headlines the united nation human rights council is labeling israel an apartheid state why because the fear of god is the beginning of wisdom and there's no fear of god in the united nations our students don't know that amnesty international amazing NGO at one point not any longer they accuse israel as apartheid we have former presidents accusing israel of apartheid we want to help your students be prepared or it will eat them up hitler's right hand man joseph gogo said the one who reportedly said tell a lie big enough keep repeating it people will eventually believe it hitler's struggle confin luther's teachings are the best defense for the german people and the church in not in germany and europe was not suffied church in america was anti-israel it's a whole another message and he just kept telling it over and over and over again just like you here in the news over this day every day it's israel so jews added again and there's a little anti-semitism in the heart of every christian beloved there is think of the jews and if your first thought is i'm indebted they're bringing me the knowledge of the one through god everybody needs jesus i get that god's not done with them thank god he ain't done with us but if that's not the first thought that comes into you if the first thought is yeah those jews just go to god with it because it gets put into each else by the wicked one get rid of that because there's a blessing that comes as you get pure from that well hitler just kept doing it all not just destroying the world and so jews more of hitler's work and it's the jews i could do five minutes of this i swear i won't and it's the jews and it's the jews causing all the problems that's why we're suffering that's why we need to destroy them it's the jews and beloved we're living at this time that no generation has seen but us and it's resting on our shoulders because god uses people and yes this is in two parts yes pray for the peace of jews some number one number two may they prosper who love her praying for somebody does not mean you love her love is an action love is always an action and i get this i don't know what you pastor victor i in israel i don't think i'll ever get there i'd love to and encourage them what can i do tonight oh no i'm tonight oh you'll encourage just by being here just by being here they'll walk in and they'll weep you'll know who the jews are they'll cry from the beginning till we're done and then they'll go home and try and tell their friends what they've seen their friends will go oh you're much sugar not you crazy no no you gotta come i went to the well and there was a man who told me everything i ever knew that's what we'll be tonight without words our jews friends they're scared to death they cannot even go out and eat without being afraid of being noticed and being jews let's not tell them that's manhattan new york students for justice in palestine they're at work and you may say yeah wow east new york california i get that beloved it's not in your backyard students for justice in palestine it's in your living room and more you know who didrick bonhoeffer is any of you my kind of guy he did many things one of them is part of a small group of men that tried to assassinate hitler let me just add a caveat to that i could be wrong in this jesus forgive me thank you but if i have a shot at him i'd take him out and ask for forgiveness later i would not bragging i'm not saying let's kill people i am not for the record folks at home i'm not saying that i'm just saying for me me alone i like this man and he tried to awaken the church in Germany he did he was arrested thrown in a concentration camp the war was over germans dragged him out stripped him of all his clothes and hung him just for vengeance i believe what he says is true not to speak is to speak not to act is to act beloved i love you each i do and this has not been an attempt to emotionally manipulate you i had to i had to sound a shofar today it's the shofar that had nine blasts on it each way of blowing it had a different meaning i just did my best to blow the nine blast shofar that's all and those of you that have heard it have heard it and some of you can't come tonight i i know that you be at peace god's with you you're part of this church and that's beautiful but some of you it's going to be a decision as we get closer to five or six o'clock you may have to rearrange stuff you may have to find a different computer bring in you may have to find a different airplane when you had one all set up you may have to do that because we sure did because there are gonna be all kinds of stuff would you come back and would you think about inviting a friend if you got any jewish friends that are close enough and you say to them you want to go church with me tonight and they don't scream and shout bring them tonight they'll never they'll never forget it and your relationship with them will be forever changed beloved after tonight will be forever changed we thank you again pastor and first lady i thank all of you i'll see in a few hours god bless you everybody stand how many of you this is the first time you've heard some of this information before let me see you okay this line that the first time i met master victor he this was his corrective line from me constantly you don't know what you don't know and you know what it helped me tremendously because i thought i've been studying the jewish book now for years pastoring all that kind of stuff and i thought i knew some things but i really found out there's a lot that i didn't know but here's the here's the issue once you do know you become responsible for it and that's why we are having tonight the night to honor israel somebody said pastor i've heard it said so many times you've been advertising for 30 days all that kind of stuff i know i know i know we are in 1939 if you don't know what that means go home and look it up because here's what you need to know when they finally attempt everything they can towards the jewish people first of all the bible reminds us that there will always always be a remnant of jewish people that's one thing but what you need to know in canada right now and in the united states and all around the world is that when they're get done with one generation and one group of people they come after the next and christians are in line for that like never before so what you make happen the bible is clear what you make happen for the jewish people god in his loving kindness turns it around and puts it on your account and counts it as righteousness so i want us to pray this morning because long before the war ever broke out with russia and the ukraine israel already had a plan to get the ukrainian jews out of harm's way and yet and many of us many of you didn't know

TfNN, headline, news update. Good morning everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TfNN headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida, 10 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, 30 minutes into the trading day. We got markets on the negative side once again. Dow Jones right now, negative 119 points, trading 26,686. S&Ps, negative by seven points, trading at 2968. NASDAQ, almost flat, negative five points, trading at 8,093. And the Russell, negative by four, trading at 1557. As we start things off this morning, we're going to jump over and take a look at the VIX. Getting some negative action once again, but the VIX pretty muted still. Overnight you had 1471 at some of the lows, 1444 right now on that S&P volatility index. Let's jump over to the futures markets. We'll start it off with the Dow. Dow futures, September contract, currently trading 26,699. It had been about 30 to 40 points lower at one point or two pre-market. NASDAQ 100, quite a different story. NASDAQ, the closest index to being flat, only negative by about five points. You have the NASDAQ 100, trading at 7801, quite a charge higher from where we were at about 4 a.m. of 7743. So you're talking about a solid 60, NASDAQ 100 points from that price level. S&P 500, bouncing off the lows as well. Relating to that NASDAQ low, S&Ps were down there at about 2965. You're now 2972 as we're making session highs. Crude oil, volatility going on there as well. We were up above $58. Back under that level, you have crude trading at 5761. Gold contract, we were down with a 1380 handle, 1388 at one point. Gold trading at 1393.62 right now. And the Euro-US dollar trade at 1,1207. In terms of what else you have happening out there, Fed Chairman Powell begins speaking to Congress, pulling that up as we go. So he will be over there for two days to testify in front of the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday, it may be actually Wednesday. So that out there as we have a July 31st meeting looming and the probability of a cut right now, 100%. The only question is whether it might be 50 basis points. But that's what the market's saying, we will find out. I'm sure you may have something to say on that. Stay tuned folks, come back at 10 o'clock. Basil Chapman filling in for Tom at 10 a.m. Then of course we get Fast Market, TD Ameritrade, Thinkorswim, Kevin Hicks and the team at 11. Basil Chapman at noon, Steve Rhodes, Dave White. We'll be back this afternoon. Stay tuned folks, have a great Tuesday.


The moment we are born as human beings, somehow our lives got complicated. If we had come here as any other creature on this planet, life would be very simple. Eating, sleeping, reproducing and dying one day. Now we have to do all those things but somehow where you are right now, wherever you may be, is not enough, isn't it? You want to be little more than what you are right now. If you know only money, maybe you are thinking of little more money. If you know only pleasure, maybe little more pleasure, power little more power. Everybody is wanting to be little more than what they are right now. The process of desiring is continuously going on. Whether you are going to work, or you are going to the bar, or you are going to the temple, or when you are getting married, or you are having children, you are studying in a university, all this effort of life, everything was in pursuit of happiness, is it so? In the last hundred years, with the use of science and technology, we have seen the very face of this planet. Today we have the kind of comforts and conveniences that no other generation could ever even imagine. We are definitely the most comfortable generation ever on this planet, is it so? But are we also the most joyful generation? So it's not worked. Every creature, from plant to animal to everything, including human beings, have paid an enormous price to create these comforts and conveniences and we are not even happy. What is the point? We have engineered the world today in many ways so that it functions better for us, isn't it? We have done nothing about ourselves. It's time to really look at it, isn't it? In the last twenty-four hours, how many moments of joy have we won? When you were five years of age a child, how many moments of joy did you know in twenty-four hours? The whole equation has gotten reversed somehow. It doesn't matter where you are, you are sitting in a palace or in heaven, but your inner situation is not good, it doesn't matter, isn't it? This mind could have been a source of ecstasy, but this mind has become a source of misery for most people, tension, anxiety, depression, why? You just don't know how to handle it, isn't it? See, there's only one problem with your mind. Life is not happening the way you think it should have, that's the only problem. Is there any other problem? Nobody around you will happen a hundred percent your way, isn't it so? Yes? Nobody happens your way, it's okay. The problem is, this one is not happening your way, that is the problem, isn't it?   So if things happen your way, you have begun to understand in the world that you have to engineer it. The same with you, no inner engineering has been done for you, isn't it just by accident you're trying to happen? Now I'm talking about creating the right kind of chemistry within you, where to be peaceful and blissful is just natural to you.


As St. Lucia continues to celebrate the contribution of women to national development, Minister for Education, Innovation and Gender Relations and Sustainable Development, Honourable Dr. Gail Rigabat lauded the strides made in country. In a statement to the House of Assembly, Honourable Rigabat pointed out that St. Lucia had distinguished itself as a country where women dominate more than 50% of leadership positions in the public service, private sector and in civil society organizations. Honourable Rigabat also congratulated WPC Brigitte Al-Goudal on becoming the first female sergeant of arms to serve in the House of Assembly. Al-Goudal has been a member of the Royal St. Lucia Police Force for 23 years. I salute the many women who have served on the front lines of the last year and continue to make extraordinary sacrifices as they do their part to preserve the lives of St. Lucia's institutions, serve in the various service sectors in banks, supermarkets, markets, community shops, in hotels, nursing homes and caring for the elderly. We recognize in particular our female farmers and women fishers for their part in meeting the need of the population for food. Wherever you may turn your attention from the home to the classroom, the market to the bank, the Heculean efforts of women tell of their commitment to the social and economic development of our beautiful country. The Honourable Minister highlighted some of the strides made by the Department of Gender Relations in recent years, including the development of a national gender equality policy and strategy. Over 100 public officers received training in gender concepts and analysis and a core of accounting and planning officers in the public service were trained in gender budgeting and planning through a CDB-funded initiative. This was in preparation for the identification and establishment of gender equality focal points across the various ministries, departments and agencies of government so that we can actually mainstream gender in St. Lucia's national development. St. Lucia is one of nine Caribbean countries participating in a multi-million dollar project enabling gender responsive disaster recovery, climate and environmental resilience in the Caribbean. The theme for International Women's Day this year is Women in Leadership, achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world.


Tom here from Orange Systems and let's talk business for a minute here specifically around solar winds and Obviously, I have real business is inch to make around this and this questions come up all over the place and right here on red It's another person MSPs using the unaffected solar winds products What now and what they're referring to is solar winds had a major security breach that went unnoticed for quite a while in There specifically in their Orion Monitoring tools that they sell that's primarily used by internal enterprise level IT matter of fact I have a whole video on it where you dive into it But the question becomes if solar winds Orion was breached does that means solar winds was breached? And does that mean we shouldn't trust any of their products that's not as easy to answer as you might think and Let's talk about a couple quick history things because I love these questions that come up Or shouldn't we just switch what tool stack we use as a managed service provider as an IT? Technology company that provides IT support for outside companies solar winds has got a really popular tool stack They're one of the biggest in the business next to Kaseya next to connect-wise But let's talk about Kaseya and connect-wise because if people actually could remember things They would remember two years ago Kaseya was not only compromised They were distributing crypto miners because back then it wasn't about ransomware It was about how can we install a crypto miner and that was a great way to make money in 2018 so they had a breach Are you still using Kaseya? Of course if you go back to 2018 there's a ton of comments and everyone going well I'm never using this again I'm switching over to insert name of next product until they're in the news and then they go back and you know Switch to Kaseya again. I guess Then we have over here the actual security update from Kaseya I'll leave links to these if you want to dig through the history and I cover this one here over at connect-wise because you're Connect-wise is the one to trust No, that incident with Bishop Fox and connect-wise and connect-wise Handling of this incident was tragically bad But there's good light at the end of tunnel connect-wise decided to come out with a whole program on it I covered even some of the problems connect-wise had with the fact that you could get around some of their 2fa stuff Just by sending an email to support and obviously that was a big glaring hole and connect-wise There went from misbehaving as a company going we should probably have a better security program It doesn't threaten legal action every time a security researcher like Bishop Fox context is about a problem That brings me back over to solar winds They're obviously because this incident was only discovered days ago really in the news and Right now as of December 16th. We don't know of any problems December 16 2020 just to be clear We don't know of any problems in the MSP stack I also want to comment on solar winds as a company and something to think about here Now solar winds was built through acquisition. I didn't choose solar winds solar winds chose to buy the companies I was using for my MSP tools So if you remember hound dog, which was part of GFI and max focus and all these different companies that were out there They were all acquisitions by solar winds and if you've worked in corporate or dealt with corporate companies One day you're working for a company called backs focus or GFI or whichever company they acquired at that time You come in to work the next day and there's a new sign on your building. That's actually how a lot of this Happens solar winds was built by acquisition. This is an important thing to think about how a company was built now from a business standpoint You cancel out costs by sharing an HR department and sharing certain resources that are going to be common between the companies But if you have a siloed company that is making money their acquisition out was probably to Increase marketing another shared resource, but not necessarily share technical teams between them It isn't like automatically when they acquired the tool stack that I have that the people who were already working on Orion Which was a long-standing existing product in the solar winds stack Those teams are just all working in one big room together the number of employees at these large companies is Staggering to really think about and if you're only thinking in small business terms when you look at a merger of like two small companies That only have four people in each company and now they have eight Yeah, they probably used sharing a building as a resource to save money and they probably do crossover a lot I don't know what level of crossover exactly solar winds has but the talk of the town only a few months ago Was the fact that solar winds MSP is going to be its own individual company and they're breaking it out And let me dive into that a little bit more Right here is the solar winds corporation q3 2020 earnings call from earnings call It's conversation with the CEO kind of setting the standard and what's going out of the company and hey How much money do you guys make and what's your future plans? We'll dive right to this part here But of course I'll leave a link to this entire transcript if you want to hear what they were talking about back then But the important part was regarding the split This was a question asked by an unknown speaker on the call and this is answered by the CEO of the company We haven't heard anything from our customers about the potential split of business in terms of you know Whether or not there was a problem with it. It's that's what the unknown caller had asked I think it really comes down to the fact that we've been running the business in two units for a while The MSP market is very very specific market And this is true anyone who works in MSP knows internal IT teams and external MSP companies They operate with different sets of needs different types of marketing and I bring this up because essentially like I just said They operate kind of still as a silo so they want to split them off So you can understand the margins from a complete business standpoint of how did our Internal tools team sell things like Orion for example And how did the other market sell to the MSP market once again noting that they're kind of separate now This does not mean that I know for fact that solar winds tools are completely safe Or that I know for fact that any insert name of company because say I connect wise whichever one you choose is completely safe I will tell you this from my own perspective I bet they're going through and you know this too if you work in IT the audit from hell solar winds Orion was basically in Every large government agency many of the fortune 1,000 companies are using and I think I'd said in the other video Something like over 400 of the fortune 500 companies use it This breach is huge and obviously going to dominate the news for a little while But this also means you're going to go through one of the most thorough and painstaking audits ever Exacted on a tools company probably and that also kind of builds me a little bit of confidence Like if they're going to find something they're going to find it You have lots of other people I've talked to at other cyber security companies digging deep into it looking for evidence That this occurred anywhere else the nature of the attack seemed to be so specific and the fact that they were using Steganography to hide what they were doing Probably means they really focused on Orion they had a list of targets They were doing this as stealth and quiet as possible Dropping a bunch of stuff on the MSP stack would create a lot of noise and end up all over the place Which probably sounds different than the goal of the threat actor doesn't mean it's a guarantee We're doing speculative thinking here, but the other side of that is they minted the certs We know they got a whole the search server those sorts have been invalidated and no search We're also not the same ones used on the MSP side So there were very different on how everything was signing which also leads us to and we need confirmation of solar winds Of course to the level of separation that these companies have already that they kind of work Individually back to my saying what they're gonna split and show them as separate companies So for now, I'm gonna stay with solar winds. That's my feelings on it Doesn't mean I'm not going to be hyper vigilant watching because obviously this is a great concern But there's not anything that makes me think I should go through all the trouble of moving all of our endpoints And everything over to a different system because as I pointed out those systems All are run by people fingers on keyboards all potential risks at any given moment matter of fact any of these companies and because they like I mentioned beginning they went through some pretty hard times and Really bad publicity by the fact that they were Massively installing crypto miners on people's computers. This is obviously a huge breach someone breach their system Don't know the details. I don't remember how they debriefed it because it's been a couple years But in short, I mean they pushed out a lot of confidence to bring customer base back and people kind of said the same thing We're all leaving but I bet a lot of people didn't even leave It's just the sexiness of outrage, you know, we have to get our fingers on keyboards It's not like we're doing our due diligence But honestly from a business perspective due diligence right now. I kind of want to stay and hold, you know playing poker here See, I want to stay with this company for a little bit longer or maybe a lot longer I don't know we're gonna have to see how the outcome is jumping ship They may find that this tool was used by one of the other MSPs and they were breached with this tool Wouldn't that be an interesting twist on this? We don't know and this is just all part of it It's all a lot of decisions and these are my decisions as of right now December 16th.  It's actually way easier to be on the hacker side to some extent because you have to be right all the time You have a thousands of employees. I have to make sure none of them are inside threat actors You have thousands of things you're distributing and websites and servers Distributed all over the place between multiple buildings and I have to make sure everything was done right Hacking is poke away just fuzz everything trek everything wait for one person to mess up or in the case of some inside threat actors pay somebody off That's think about how many employees you have is one of them angry is one of those thousands of people Going to this and you know, you don't know it's really really difficult It's a challenge of the market. It's why we stay hyper vigilant on this But I just want to throw this out there kind of as a reply to some of the people asking Do you stay with them? It's it's a big deal and I for now gonna stay that's my opinion You can still of course be entitled to yours, but this is how I feel about the company and where I'm at right now As of December 16th 2020.

Hi, I'm Ella and I love town meeting television because it's informative, it helps foster community, it makes local politics accessible to everyone, it's riveting, and it's just an overall good time.


But here's the real question, what are you going to do with that feeling that you have right now? That upset feeling, that frustration, what are you going to do with that? You have to realize that game is now over, there's nothing you can do to change the result of the game, you just play it, it is in the rear view mirror, it is in the past, it is absolutely unchanging. All that matters now is what you choose to do moving forward. The next time you get together you guys need to figure out why did you come up short, why did you lose? I'm not asking you that now, I want each and every one of you to give some thoughts about it.


Chapter six of our book is about sampling distributions and the idea behind this is You know everybody knows if you flip a coin ten times and you will usually get five heads But it could be higher. It could be lower if you flip it and get seven heads this time You don't necessarily expect to get seven heads the next time. There is inherent and inescapable Variability in this process. There's an element of randomness to it This is the central idea of sampling when you sample You're getting one possible outcome out of many possible random outcomes and the idea is to try to take those individual outcomes and Aggregate them into a sampling distribution and what's funny about that is you can make relatively Stable confident conclusions about an entire distribution, even if the individual elements have a large piece of randomness in them Now in terms of what we're going to talk about in this chapter We're going to talk about the sampling process how you actually do these repeated observations and build what's called a sampling Distribution we're going to talk about something called the central limit theorem Which describes the sampling distribution and its shape which approaches a normal bell curve It's mean which matches the original parameter that you're estimating and it's standard deviation Which in this context is called the standard error We'll also talk about z scores for sample means up to this point We've talked about z scores for one person at a time Now we're going to talk about it for a whole group of people and we'll look at how that can vary from one point To another this is our introduction to Hypothesis testing and this is how we can see the variability working in practice Now in terms of why we're going to talk about this first off, there's just this Inherent unavoidable drive to go beyond the data you have in front of you and to generalize to Another group of people or maybe to something in the near future Well, you can only do that if your data allow for generalization if you recognize the variability from one sample So one group of people to another sample, maybe a different group of people or the same people in the future It also serves that as sampling serves as the basis for every single chapter We're going to have from here on out. It's the basis for estimation. It's the basis for t-test analysis of variance for correlation and regression for The chi-square test it's there in all of them. It's also at the foundation of what makes psychology Really all of the behavioral sciences and social sciences Sciences as opposed to just you know random guesses or factoids about things that happened in the past It's this careful observation and an attempt to make valid inferences about the future that makes them sciences Now in terms of what you can do with this the what for of the chapter Well, the example of flipping coins isn't you know, it's a trivial one It's not something you're gonna do in the future, but in your real life Sampling variability and understanding how things vary from one situation to another and how even when Individual things vary you can still talk about the aggregate Well, let's say you're a therapist and you have one patient who's responding really well to treatment But another who's just struggling There may well be meaningful reasons for that difference But it also could be that the one person is just having a really good day or week and the other person is having a bunch of random hardships that that could explain it and that if you wait till the following week things could flip around you don't really know Even though you can talk about large groups of people if you're in the medical field You may have a lot of patients one day and very few the next day again There may be things in the community that explain that difference But it can also just be the random process like flipping coins and how many heads you get Or if you're looking at your retirement accounts, which may be invested in the stock market There may be a spike or a dip on one day where you get a lot of money or you lose a lot of money and That may or may not be a meaningful change. Usually it's not Chances are that the prices will return close to normal and hopefully resume the slow and steady upward trend that they tend to do but all of these are examples of how sampling and the Individual variability but the stability and predictability in large quantities can affect your life both in your regular work and in Psychological research and trying to better understand how people think feel and act
