Welcome to JSA TV the newsroom for tech and telecom professionals. I'm Jamie Scott Agataya here on the floor of telecom exchange NYC 2016 Joining me here today is my friend mr. Al Di Gabrielle. He's the SVP of product management and marketing over at hibernia networks Al thanks for coming to JSA TV. My pleasure. Great to be here So we have exciting news today. It's an exciting time in general for hibernia networks We're coming off a third award not just one or two but three awards for hibernia express Of course your flagship submarine cable offering the lowest latency available across the Atlantic Can you give us an a little update about the system? Absolutely. I'd be glad to and we are obviously honored to be Recognized for a project express again with the GTB award, but you know, it's been great It's been almost nine months now since we launched hibernia express and the updates the uptake has been tremendous This is you know, clearly one of the fastest growing corridors in the world in terms of traffic between New York and London and the bandwidth demand continues to grow year-over-year We've seen tremendous uptick obviously from customers that have latency sensitive needs for their business Customers in the financial services markets and media and broadcasting But we're also seeing great uptick from the large OTT's and the web-centric companies who really are looking for You know the scalability that express delivers and you know, even from the carriers in the service provider market You know hibernia express truly offers a diverse play in the water today So, you know clearly good good uptick all the way around and we're really excited about it And reason for excitement for sure it is fast high performance capacity Some of the other routes and regions that hibernia networks is targeting with their low latency Could you tell us a little bit more about that? Sure. So, you know with express it really does open up quite a few doors for us You know express remains to you know remains the anchor or the core for our for expanding our network Particularly in the low latency marketplace We're seeing you know March renounced the opening up of Dubai Which is a you know financial and a media hub in the Middle East? So that that offers you know quite a bit of opportunity for us there But we're also seeing a tremendous amount of interest in the financial markets in Asia like Tokyo and Singapore and Seoul You know expanding our financial market services capabilities into Mumbai, Moscow, Singapore You know we're definitely seeing uptake so you know we expect to continue to expand our our low latency offer Just to serve those needs of those customers Talking finance hibernia recently announced a hundred and sixty-five million dollars of refinancing What's that significance both on the business side as well as of course the financial standpoint? We're obviously very excited about the refile as well So we close that in May and essentially at you know at the core of it It it you know it reduces our cost of capital by nearly half Which is a significant impact and benefit to our to our balance sheet for sure But beyond that it really opens up the opportunity for us to invest back in the business whether or Organically or in organically it you know gives us that flexibility and that opportunity to continue to grow the other the other piece to note here is as we went through the refile process the exciting piece was You know the quality of the and the interest from the lender the lending community. So you know all in all It was just reinforcement of the business performance that we've had to date now going to back into the subsea Perspective here. It's it's starting to seem like a crowded field. There's a lot of players out there But hi Bernie express very very unique very different. Can you tell us a little bit about your key differentiators? Yeah, absolutely. So, you know, we you know, we differentiate ourselves on a handful of parameters You know number one, obviously you mentioned express and that delivers latency, you know We we do have latency advantages in the markets that we serve And and you know that translates to bottom line, you know profits for our customer base And they're starting to realize that whether it is financial services firms Whether it is, you know e-commerce companies, you know clearly there's a benefit there for them And they're starting to realize the impact that latency provides, you know in addition You know the other pillar of our differentiation is really our ability to scale right with newer technology We're enabling customers to grow as their business needs grow, you know We also offer flexibility and agility some things that you know Our competitors don't offer and that truly sets us apart in the marketplace And I can speak firsthand that hi Bernie networks a flexible agile company easy to work with so Give the JSA voucher there now One last question for you as an executive of the company as you peer into your crystal ball What's ahead for hi Bernie and the next six to twelve months? Well We've got a lot of you know a lot of opportunity in front of us and we'll continue to You know to leverage our network and our asset to continue invest back into it and continue to expand our product capabilities And meet the needs of our customer demands, you know part and parcel to what we're doing You know as we go forward is you know continuing to invest in our product suite And a lot of that's based on the market demand and our customer needs You know we announced in last month our protected wavelength service enhancing our best-in-class optical transport capability Back in April we announced our 4k uhd offer So you know we continually invest in that product suite and our product capabilities going forward, you know from a network perspective You know we talked a little bit about expending our low latency capabilities I know we'll continue to invest in the network and expansion in key markets driven by customer needs again So exciting times ahead for us as we get into the second half of 2016 certainly well positioned Thank you Al once again for joining us here on JSA TV Thank you viewers for tuning in if you want to learn more hibernia networks comm and check us out on JSA TV


students, when I gave you the example of data wrangling, the dimension and measures we understand from there that in data wrangling we will understand the dimensions and measures of the different examples of it a little bit more that how these things help you understand it I gave you an example that right from the source system where your data is coming, the pre-processing of data and then the transformation, enrichment, completeness, quality control in it, all the parameters because they are part of, because we see that there is a different angle in it to understand this thing that's why I am slightly in the reduction, I am also using it that the concept of wrangling, if you take it along with it then it will be easy for you because in many situations we have gone through an SQL database, when you have SQL databases then you will handle the reduction in a different way if you have image data, voice data or you have IoT data or sensors data then you handle it in a different way and we also learn that normally now people talk a lot about SQL, about unstructured data, at the same time for business decision makers it is very very important that you cannot ignore SQL similarly there are many business applications, they all have structured databases, so it is necessary to understand both, that's why I am referring again to the concept of wrangling, the structure data that you have to do in it and mostly in unstructured there are some components that we will use, especially the statistical or algebra algorithms, so they help you a lot, when you have unstructured or voice or images of this type of data but at the same time you have to keep in mind that we have structure data also available and as a data scientist in many situations you have to handle that data also and normally you have to use these techniques, the most simple techniques that we have used in wrangling, by using them you can perform it, just based on your judgment you can use those things so basically the first thing is that when you have a data set, you prepare one thing which is called data dictionary, you call it metadata, so that is basically the information about data, which column you have, what information is there, what is its description, what is its source, what is its objective you have a whole document prepared in analytics, not normally, rather I would say in each and every project when you do the analysis of the data, the data scientist is part of your responsibility to prepare the data dictionary and maybe one of your team members will do it and you will develop a common understanding that the data set in the project is your target data set or source data set, the different dimensions and measures of that are their definition, the concept of the cube is basically that one data you can look at it with six different dimensions and then when you denormalize it or take a look at it from its SQL, or when you link it to different tables, then you can have even many more dimensions where your star schema or snowflake concept have come into picture now this is a data set in which the name, role, salary, age are different, these are the parameters, you can consider these your dimensions and the values in the rows are based on your data and when you perform a calculation on it, that will become your measure or if you have to calculate the bracket of the salary, or if you have the same kind of challenges that you compare the age group and the salary, or if you link it with the experience, then based on this, there is a city, a state, a joining date, it is just a sample data set, so when you see it, then you know what you want to do with it now in this we can see that we have numbers and text and broadly speaking the numbers are your measures and the text are your labels, these are your dimensions this is the date, it is both number and label, because based on this you can calculate someone's age, so this is the concept, and the rest you have are labels, this is the text now the gender, we know that this is your quality or attribute which you can do in yes or no mail or female, we cannot measure it in terms of numbers similarly this is the name and the rule, now I have told you about the date of the third date, this is the number and this is your label and this is the text so basically in this you can see how you calculate it, if you see that you just have to see how many people come from a specific area or in your team or in your data, in one area, you can simply select a city, you don't have to select a state or you don't have to select a gender but if you have to decide from that which is related to the facilities or leave example, then that is applicable only to the female, not to the male there are many more things like this, you analyze the salary brackets, you analyze different things, so based on that you can do it so what we have understood is that based on your business problem, the different dimensions or measures you can include or exclude them from your data set and accordingly you plan the dimensions and reduction and then you execute it


family fest and it's coming to you right away.

goodness and the faithfulness of God that he's not just good today he has always been good and he's not just faithful today and he won't just be faithful tomorrow he has always been faithful why because he's God and he never changes Moses said in Psalm 90 oh Lord you've been our dwelling place for all generations before the mountains were brought forth or ever you form the earth in the world even from everlasting to ever lasting you are God and he is a good God and a faithful God because he is the same God today yesterday today and forever let's worship him this morning hallelujah lean on the God of J whose love endures through generation warships that are the nations of the world can do somebody who's a leader and some of you don't know is is that he's an awesome wonder and he's the one who's in charge of all of it he's in charge of your life he's in charge of my life and there's nothing that's going on that he's not absolute in control so I want you to put that in this one belongs to him director come on somebody that are certainly regulars in the house we are greet you with the love of the Lord let me just say on behalf much that we deeply love and appreciate and send our great thanks and gratefulness to you kindness for your love I just cannot thank you enough read and I cannot thank you enough for that wonderful appreciation this past weekend and may God bless you for pouring out your I am so thankful I know that I that's kind of just a little know that sometimes people may say well it just happens but I just want you to know it doesn't just happen it happens because there are people that have like precious faith that come together over one thing and that's to see the kingdom of God built and established and growing amen and that's what paces all about and that's what you're all about and what a great week this is going to be to be able to reach out to this community as well and I'm going to talk to you more about that in a moment as a matter of fact let me give you this very important announcement I was doing everything I can because I don't like to have to suspend services but it's just no way of getting around it this week because there's so much that's happening I think Pastor T's already mentioned to you about some of the things that are going on this week and it all starts tomorrow by getting everything prepped up we had some hurdles this past week that were unexpected and so we've moved the hindrances out of the way and we just going to keep on going forward for the Lord and then other people are telling me this it's not me but other people are telling me in the community Pace Family Fest has now become the talk of the town I like it amen I don't want Pace Assembly to sit on the side of the road and say what is that I want them to come face to face with it and I am listening to me out of all the things that takes place this week I want you to understand Pace Family Fest is reaching for souls into the kingdom now we're living in a society where things are different now here's the way it is when I was growing up many of you your your parents your grandparents people stay generations in churches some of you know what I'm talking about they raise their generations in churches it's not that way anymore places are fragmented fact I was reading early this morning where some 91 million people I'm sorry let me back up 91,000 families have moved from New York State to Florida I would too that's just that's not counting the folks that are coming from California and other locations and many of you from different places I'm saying that because we're in a more fragmented society and in years past we've had outreaches like upward basketball that brought thousands literally on this campus every week with their kids and doing basketball outreaches it was all about souls all about reaching families we gleaned families that came to the Lord came to the church because of it and then that passed by the thing you've got to recognize is when the anointing is off of something like like the jawbone that Samson used when the anointing is done with it you got to lay that down and find what is God doing today and so I believe that over the past three years God has given us the opportunity of Pace Family Fest to reach our community what's it gonna do if everything works out like God's plan is I pray that people will get the word and come on to this campus and then I everybody in this building raise your right hand right now you are officially in the ministry so this week when you come out here on the Pace Family Fest you're a member of Pace Assembly you're an attendee I don't care what you are I don't care if you just flew by and stopped by I don't even care if you were the thief that stole over the Methodist Church this week I want you to know you're gonna help this week because we're gonna reach people with the gospel and how's that gonna be with the love of Jesus Christ with the kindness of a congregation that has opened its doors up and drawing people to come to this location where we can talk to about Jesus during that rodeo out there I'm gonna walk right out there with a mic and a Bible in hand and I won't give the gospel to everybody that comes in that's the way that's gonna work so I want you to be praying for I want you to pray for several things one that there'll be no incidents or accidents that we have whatsoever that everything will run smoothly and most importantly that will reach souls with the gospel of Jesus Christ now you say well pastor I don't know if that works or not well I've already told you that one of our board members was eating breakfast with his wife a few weeks ago and came across the waitress that was there and come to find out that she and her nine-year-old son had come to last year's Pace Family Fest and they have never been raised in church didn't know anything about God but now they're wanting to come to Pace Assembly and inquiring about how to get involved in Wednesday night services etc etc so my friends I know it's difficult picking these days because the because the fields are widened to harvest but it's like the harvest is scattered all over the place so you may clean a little bit here and then clean a little bit there don't worry about it some of you are gonna water this week the seed some of you are gonna plant this week the seed but when it's all said and done God's gonna get the increase out of it amen would you pray for increase on that right there amen God bless you for doing that and then we just mentioned to you very quickly before we get into the word that in two weeks on November the 12th Sunday November the 12th we will be receiving a very special love offering for the outreach of Guatemala I want to put that in your head right now because there is a great need as it always is and this church is a vital component to be able to reach tens of thousands without exaggeration children and adults in Guatemala with the love of Jesus during Christmas let me let me put down something that was rumored around a little bit it was rumored that we have abandoned the Latino Fest and the Latino outreach that is not true okay there was a couple of things simultaneously that started happening that we had to be able to cancel the last one it's only postponed we're still in the forward movement don't you worry I don't care who they are and where they are this church is after every soul when it's all said and done and Jesus comes you can work out the details of border crossings and all like that because I'll be gone with those that we read the harvest with amen how many of you want to reap a harvest of souls so you can present it before the throne of God amen so you you get ready for this coming week and all that's happening and pray continually that God would continue to bless amen so let me get into this word this morning because I haven't preached since Wednesday and I got heartburn let me take let me just let me just get you while you're standing to flip over to Psalm 118 Psalm 118 raise God Psalm 118 I want you to read verse 25 with me out loud this is not my text I just want you to read it and then I'll tell you why we're reading it verse 25 have you found that say amen let's read it in concert everybody ready save now I be come on you can do better than that now ready read save now I beseech thee oh Lord oh Lord I beseech thee sin now prosperity if you look at that passage of scripture that entire chapter you're gonna find that they're asking for the help of the Lord in every way why have I have you read that because that's exactly what the Israeli soldiers read as they were entering into Gaza to take care of terrorists over be on the border I want you to continue to pray for Israel you're gonna hear about it from this pulpit until because ladies and gentlemen the support is waning there is more than 40,000 people as I have a video on my phone that we're marching this week in Los Angeles California and multiple other areas around the world but in the United States we're watching as they're calling for ceasefires from the UN and all kind of that I want to let you know that we must be standing with Israel when it's all said and done and we will continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and stand with Israel regardless God is in charge and ladies and gentlemen those are his chosen people and I'm gonna stand where God stands how about you amen so that's that you can just pray for them this week as they're entering in already doing that this week already doing it this morning and it's a horrible thing war is a horrible thing there's nobody boasting in that whatsoever but I got news for you so Mike comes busting in your house coming after your kids after your wife after your family you will get a reaction out of this pastor that may not look the same as I am in this full pit this morning and I can assure you I won't be singing you'll never find so I'm telling you we can go to war in the spiritual realm and God can get the physical victory over there amen praise God now I want you to turn to Genesis can you find the first book in the Bible surely you can chapter 35 Genesis the 35th chapter and I'm beginning this morning a brand new series that the Lord was dealing with my heart several weeks ago it is going to be over the next few weeks and today I want to preach to you on this series in this series on divine intervention divine intervention today I'm gonna talk to you about family matters have you got family matters I know it's quiet in here I know good and well you do Lord pastor you know that's what the funny thing is if they could ever find when some of these talk shows come on TV they always look for dysfunctional families I challenge them to find a functional family is what I challenge you but you know what this is what most of you would say at least I know the dysfunction in my family right and the Lord knows my dysfunction y'all mighty quiet this morning for this Presbyterian church let's dig in this word this morning chapter 35 verse 1 says it like this and God said to Jacob arise go up to Bethel and dwell there and make there an altar unto God that appeareth unto thee when thou fled us from the face of Esau thy brother then Jacob said into his household and to all that were with him put away the strange gods that are among you and be clean and change your garments and let us arise and go up to Bethel and I will make there an altar unto God who answered me in the day of my distress and was with me in the way which I went and they came unto Jacob all the they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand and all their earrings which were in their ears and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem and they journeyed and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob so Jacob came to love which is in the land of Canaan that is Bethel he and all the people that were with him and he built there an altar and called the place El Bethel because there God appeared unto him when he fled from the face of his brother but Deborah Deborah Rebecca's nurse died and she was buried beneath Bethel under the oak under an oak and the name of it was called alone Bacchoth and God appeared unto Jacob again when he came out of pedanorama and blessed him God said unto him thy name is Jacob thy name shall not be called anymore Jacob but Israel shall be thy name and he called his name is Israel and God said unto him I am God Almighty El Shaddai be fruitful and multiply please hear this a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee and kings shall come out of thy loins and the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac to thee I give I will give it and did I seed after thee well I give the land and God went up from him in the place where he talked with him and Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him even a pillar of stone and he poured a drink offering there on and he poured oil there on and Jacob call the name of the place where God spoke with him Bethel can you say a man to God's word I'm sorry a moment ago I did not mention that Wednesday night service is canceled here on all levels because we have work that we've got to do to accomplish the Pace Family Fest so thank you that's see that's Pastor Rita coming at my rescue that's reason why you appreciate her more than you do me I want to speak to you this morning for a few moments on family matters divine intervention if we ever needed divine intervention we need it right now not only in our families in our life in our family but in our country and I just have to go on record very quickly to say thank God that we have seen an election of the Speaker of the House that picked up the Bible and said this is the principal book that I will guide from amen let's believe God for his touch in this place today Father in the name of Jesus we thank you for the Word of God we thank you for how it speaks to our life now Lord let this book be applied in our hearts and in our lives today and help us I pray Lord to eat this book and to gain faith from your word that we can be able to move forward in the kingdom of God work we give you praise for it in Jesus name and everybody believes it shout a great big amen look at somebody and tell them I need a divine intervention some people believe that God is not involved in humanity or that God or something just created us and left us alone out here on our own others believe that God is involved but only on a limited scale he stays distant from us in heaven and we do our thing here on earth these are the descriptions of basically two groups of people the agnostic the agnostic is defined as a person who does not have a definite belief about whether God exists or not believes there could be a God but there may not be what a horrible way to live except for the atheist who says define a person who does not believe in deity or that God exists at all well I want you to know the atheist doesn't exist because God doesn't believe in atheists he said it in the book the fool has said in his heart there is no God for one day every person here and those watching will stand before the Almighty God and trust me there's not a bunch of them there's only one the Bible is full of examples from beginning to the end of divine intervention into humanity and let me make this statement clear without God's divine intervention humanity would be lost and without hope there are two descriptions that people have and one is defined as an interruption some say it's God's interruption into our life that is defined as to stop or to hinder by breaking in I want you to know God doesn't have to break in anywhere when the disciples were waiting after the resurrection and wondering if Jesus was alive they turned around and looked and there came Jesus not using the door walk right through the wall he don't have to break in anywhere I prefer the statement intervention you've heard about that as it's described with people that are going to try to do some kind of intervention for a family member or someone who has an addiction or has a problem or whatever that it may be intervention is the act of interfering with the outcome or course especially of a condition or process as to prevent harm or improve functioning I like that definition let me add divine intervention to that definition it says this divine intervention is an event that occurs when God becomes actively involved in changing some situation in human affairs now you know why we all need divine intervention every day of our life because whenever you've been in a place for a long time perhaps lived in a place for a long time or in a culture for a long time you get used to it you get accustomed to the habits of that culture that location you start adopting some of the mannerisms of that location that place that custom for instance my northern friends would say all adults I know in the south you didn't get that at all because we say adults in the north don't try to order sweet tea they don't know what that is in the south you're not even a southerner if you don't drink sweet tea in some form in the north don't try to order grits they will ask you what is a grit in the south you don't even belong here if you don't eat grits in the north for Thanksgiving dinner they eat mashed potatoes and stuffing well God bless you in the south it didn't even Thanksgiving dinner unless there's dressing on the table and I don't know how you say it ghiblet gravy jiblet gravy whatever that it is mama mixed it all together and poured it on the dressing and it was righteous that stuff would save you you understand what I'm saying get down in your soul I mean it was God's food it's God's food I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving it's God's food when you eat that turkey and dressing and ghiblet gravy jiblet gravy whatever you want to call it I'm just gonna tell you God's in it because it just puts you to sleep and then you get to get up later in the afternoon and make a sandwich out of it and eat it again come on somebody I'm talking about mannerisms and you get a custom to culture if you stay in the dark too long it'll play a trick on you and you'll start thinking you see light because you get accustomed to the darkness spiritually speaking he can be the same you become spiritually blind and spiritually numb it's an indicator that you're getting used to the dark you're getting used to dry places dead places wrong places it requires ladies and gentlemen a constant renewal and revival of your soul it means you've got to return back to your first works over again because something is dying on the inside it's hard for us to diagnose ourselves because we look at other people and they this is the standard answer hey how you doing I'm good when in fact you're not something on the inside needs to be evaluated something on the inside needs to have an encounter with God because we can do it good on the outside we can put the facade up but on the inside is where the real work goes on let me say it like this you might want to you might want to write this down sometimes subtle drifts require radical shifts in other words you're driving down the road in the car and suddenly you start feeling the bumps on the road and the rocks are flying on the shoulder and all of a sudden you radically pull the wheel you got to be careful you don't pull it so far the other way you're correcting your direction because because ladies and gentlemen where your vision is that's where you're going you have to keep your eyes on the road so what is the indicator what's the what's the environment that we're living in pastor then if you're talking about spiritual need and revival and so forth I want to say and submit to you out of all the years that I've lived and on this planet and all the years that I've had the privilege of pastoring I have never seen a day when we didn't need a divine intervention of revival in the hearts and lives of people from the pulpit to the pew and throughout our entire world that we're living in because when violence fills the land like it's doing last night while you were asleep in Tampa a wild man took a gun and shot up places and killed people this past week a man out of his mind takes a gun and goes into a bowling alley where people are enjoying their night and slaughters people what's happening violence is filling the land we're in need of a revival when lying and cheating is filling the land we need a revival and I know it's easy to point to other places but I'm talking to you and I'm talking to me this morning because when drugs pour over the border and hundreds of thousands of people are dying mainly teenagers because of drug abuse we need a divine intervention when there are wars and rumors of wars going on and the nations of the world are gathering against the tiny nation of Israel as predicted and prophesied by the saints of old and the prophets of old we need a revival in a divine intervention Israel needs a divine intervention today whenever leaders have lost their convictions when there is no consciousness of sin and it's been seared from the top to the bottom ladies and gentlemen we need a divine intervention when men call things good that are evil and call things that are evil good we need a divine intervention when the leaders of a nation will pass laws that condone sin and what God calls sin they say it's all right we need a divine intervention when my life has drifted away from God and from the things of God I need a divine intervention sometimes I cannot see my need of God and that becomes in our minds today oh Lord we want God in our convenience and if God gets involved in our stuff we call it an interruption breaking in on my plans breaking in on my thoughts breaking in on my feelings and on my life we need a divine intervention personally and we need a divine intervention corporately come on somebody so you know you need a divine intervention when number one God allows places of dissatisfaction that's desperation somebody shout desperation I'm just gonna tell you you may be there today you may not be there but I can assure you there are things and people in this building and people that are watching right now that are backed up against the wall and some folks might want to point that to the devil and some may want to point fingers of accusation to themselves but I can tell you desperation by definition means that you've lost all hope for any positive outcome you're at a place where you're in such a condition that I don't know if I'm gonna make it out of this this dry place in my soul you know what I'm talking about don't look at me funny you consider the Thanksgiving dinner but you're looking across the table at empty seats you're looking across the table where my loved one sat just this time last year but now they passed away and they're gone and now there's an emptiness in my soul a troubling place that you're having to deal with some kind of conflict that's going on on the inside or the outside where your resources this is desperation where the resources are exhausted to the place that there is nowhere else to turn I heard one of the commentators from over in Israel earlier this morning make the statement that they're at a place where they need the United States to come alongside because all the bombs that they need are made here in the United States so we've got to keep that connection and we're watching little by little and a limited amount of resources given they literally came in several months ago they said because we had a stockpile in Israel of United States arms and they depleted that and took it to the Ukraine so they're starting from zero with what's going on when you get to a place where you're backed up against the wall you better be careful something in that desperate place people get desperate and they start doing desperate things you know you're on a path of intervention with God when you're in a place of such desperation that you say to yourself I don't know what it's going to take to get me out of there I don't know how much more I can take are you look at someone and say they look like they're at their breaking point I want you to know apart from God and in a desperate situation you become a double-minded individual I'm talking to you now you become a double-minded individual you don't you today you're choosing this and tomorrow you might be choosing this in a place of desperation the psalma said in Psalm 63 my soul thirst for thee in a dry and thirsty land where no water is did you hear that in other words if you're looking for help and hope in the world we're in right now it's just dry desert wilderness thirsty land and no water to satisfy he told that woman at that at that well of Samaria he said woman if you drink of this well you're gonna thirst again but if you drink of the water that I have you will never thirst again come on somebody as anybody drank from the well of Jesus that's what I want to know here's the second thing you know that there's a divine intervention that will take something from you something that is taken from you to something that is coming to you in other words it will take divine intervention will take you from something to something that's separation somebody say desperation come on help me now come on desperation separation in the bible that theological term is sanctification the separation of an individual from worldly things and unto god I want you to know places are very significant to Abraham he says you go to the place that I tell you and I'll bless you there Moses I will meet with you between the cherubim why does he do that he wants to find out are you willing to make the sanctification the separation from the things that you want to do to come and meet me in the place that I will meet with you at are you going to desire God enough to be willing to separate from people from dry places from wrong places just to meet with God come on now as believers we're always separating from sin on a daily basis take up your cross deny yourself take up your cross and follow me that's a daily sanctification if that's not a common practice in you ladies and gentlemen then what you're going to find yourself is at a place where you find that you can't help yourself you don't know what to do but if you're doing a constant maintenance on your life and separating yourself because there's plenty of things that cling on you from the week am I talking to anybody I don't care how holy you are how spiritual you are just living in this life you get dirty come on somebody your clothes it gets on you it gets in your eyes it gets in your hair God is wanting to find out do you desire me enough to say no to what you want to do see we have no problem saying no to the things that we don't want to do on over and we're going to have an asparagus party whoo can't wait to get there oh excuse me I got something else to do no problem with the stuff that I don't want to do but God will require of me to separate from things that my heart my desire my passion is pulling me towards that and God said I don't want you with that I want you to come over here and meet with me those separations why why is that so hard because you're fighting with the flesh those separations reveal things in our life that brings things to the surface like idols now in our mind when we say idols we're thinking of some little statue out in the yard or on the dash or you know some kind of Buddha or something like that pastor I don't have any idols in my house it's not the idols in your house he's talking about he's talking about the idols of the heart the idols of the mind come on somebody and whenever you start sanctifying yourself now what happens is if you get around the wrong group of people they'll look at you and say oh look at them they're trying to be holy holy holy look at them they can't walk with us no more you just need to look at them and say I'm sanctified I'm sanctified I'm separating myself I'm just going to tell you the reason why some people in this building and some of you are watching is because you're too close to them and not close enough to God you need to just tell them I'm gonna cut that thing off I need to separate myself come on somebody there may be an app on your phone that you need to separate yourself from come on talk to me somebody because idols are symptoms of decay inside of the heart anytime you experience defeat and failure on a reoccurring basis there's an idol somewhere inside of your heart the cross is the great separator it's the place where my burdens can be laid down my sins can be buried beneath the tree and there ladies and gentlemen when you make a move to that place something is always going to be sacrificed and die here's the third divine intervention you need to know not only is it is it desperation and separation but divine intervention will always result in a change because God will never leave you the same way you are that's called transformation on Wednesday nights if you've been here we've been talking about a renewing of the mind being transformed by the renewing of your mind whatever you listen to that's what you're going to spit out whatever is in your heart that's what's going to come out the bible says from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks it first had to go into your mind and then it comes into your heart and then out of your mouth you've got to get your mind out before you can get your body out your mind can get out but your body may be still struggling that's all right get your mind out of it sanctify let there be a transformation of mental morphosis well pastor what does that look like it doesn't look like anything you've been in before it is a complete transformation if you'll start that process now of transformation the Lord won't have as much to do on resurrection morning to get your body right here's the fourth thing you need to know is divine intervention always makes you better than before that is impartation i don't want to focus a little bit on that this morning impartation somebody shout impartation what does that mean it means that your encounter with God the divine intervention that's happened is going to make you better it's going to lift you higher it's going to cause you to be prosperous it's going to be more than enough it's going to be an open heaven above your head it's going to be favored like you've never had it's going to be blessing upon your life to the fourth generation it's going to mean that you're closer to God than you've ever been before and the things of this world will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace what is released on earth shall be released in heaven the bible says so hear me this morning the past has had enough of your attention and mind God is saying to you today through this message arise and let's go to the place where we can find the presence of God again and so that's where we find ourselves in Genesis 35 where Jacob is now called to the center of attention and God places his hand on him but he also knows who Jacob is Jacob's name is con artist trickster well he got it honestly got it from his mama i want you to know there is such thing as a generational curse and a generational blessing and when you come to the cross that curse is broken no matter how much has gone on in the past of the generations before you so God made a covenant with him at Bethel in Genesis 28 it's there that in the desperation of the moment this is what happens look at this picture it's not just one time that God deals with Jacob in desperation there are multiple times and every time Jacob is changed literally from the first encounter he had he walks with now for year after year to remind him of the encounter the divine intervention of God and so there at his first encounter with God at Bethel he lays his head down on a rock on a pillar and he sees in the visions and dreams a ladder coming from heaven down to earth and angels ascending and descending how many of you get excited about that moment encounter with God amen four of you praise God and so in the middle of all of this and this is what's hard for us to believe how can i be blessed when i've got family dysfunction this is Jacob he had a dysfunctional junction right there in his family he had a messed up situation he had trouble with his brother that was trying to kill him come on somebody you got family members you don't want to go to Thanksgiving dinner with this is a good mission for you listen to his mother was a liar his uncle layman was a cheater and he'd been running all of his life since the day his mother said you better get out of here because you stole this birthright come on somebody and when you look in Genesis 34 just a summation of this entire chapter you read that down as Jacob has brought his family to a place called Shechem and you're not going to find God's name anywhere in that chapter you know why because Jacob was doing it on his own he had it on a downhill drag everything was great he had everything manipulating just like he needed to until trying to live there in Shechem in peace and what happens the men of Shechem take his own daughter Diana and Raper the sons of Jacob the sons of Jacob rise up and say our daughter is not our sister is not a prostitute and we're going to defend her and they go in and kill the men of Shechem if that isn't enough his own wife brought along her father's idols and pagan idolatry worship trusting in those idols instead of Jehovah God come on somebody and then hiding them and worshiping them in secret hear what i'm telling you when you drift away from God you'll never know what you'll worship let me try that on again when you drift away from God you'll never know how far you'll go to worship something else some of you in this building some of us in this building have at one time or another worshiped something other than God oh pastor i would never worship anything else but God whenever your time this is what i hear it's my time and i've got to do this and i'll make excuses for serving the Lord or doing whatever ladies and gentlemen there's an idol already being erected in your life at that moment that's why you need preachers that's the reason why you need the word of God because most of the time we're not going to read something that's actually going to be good for us and confront our spirit and the idols of our own heart come on say amen somebody that's the reason why we're in the trouble now in the united states of america is because we no longer worship the true living God and respect the principles and the word of God now we're going to call whatever it is evil and whatever it is good and we're going to get it all by ourselves and do what we want to and ladies and gentlemen i'm looking at it in ur2 we're living in a time period that mimics 1929's depression in the economics of the united states tell me have you been to the store lately and seen the rise of the price and oh pastor that has nothing to do with the spiritual world it has everything to do with the spiritual world because now we're finding out in the physical realm what's been going on in the spiritual a departure from god will be revealed in wars rumors of wars economic downturns losses of job idleness and all of the stuff that's going on can't find nobody to get a job can't find nobody to get work why is that because we've got a lazy apathetic mind set that our gods and our idols are going to take care of us but god said i'm going to shake everything that can be shaken until the things that cannot be shaken will be steadfast and unmovable and i say lord in this hour we're desperate for a shaking from the house and the church house to the white house to the congress house now the men of shechem now the men of shechem the ones that remain wanted to be able to kill jacob and his family and in chapter 34 the last two verses jacob tells his sons you make my name to stink in this town jacob is anxious to start running again to get away ladies and gentlemen that's the reason why we got such a drug problem it's because everybody's trying to get away i don't have enough money to put in the car to run away so i'm going to fill my life with this and it'll take me away in a temporary fashion you don't need temporary relief you need a solution that is good today and a million years from now and i submit to you come to jesus and he'll take care of your headache ever since jacob left bethle 30 years prior in that encounter with god jacob hasn't built an altar in 30 years come on somebody he hasn't built an altar of sacrifice and prayer in 30 years he's been years left in an area called luz the bible says which the word luz there means departure he left god and didn't go back like he promised look at jacob's first intervention look on their screen in genesis 28 verse 20 then jacob made a vow this is his first encounter with god saying if god will be with me and keep me in this way that i'm going and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on so that i can come back to my father's house in peace then the lord shall be my god and this stone which i have set as a pillar shall be god's house and of all that you give me i surely give a tenth to you you know the reason why people didn't want to read that here today i haven't lost my place i'm just giving you a chance to think it through that you and i have made vows like that to god lord if you'll get me out of this bankruptcy lord if you'll give me out this trouble i'll go to church like i should and you made those vows and god heard those vows and god kept his word but jacob didn't keep this by the way this is the surgical part of this message jacob failed to do his part now watch this this is what happens he's been back in canaan land now for seven years he's just down the road from the Bethel assembly of god church but he hasn't been back to Bethel in all those years and now he's at a place at shechem where he's not wanted his daughter has been raped his sons have committed murder they're lying to him he's got family issues and there is a desperate place and jacob says there's no place to go they're going to come and kill my family and then chapter 35 and here's the opening words of chapter 35 and god said unto him you miss that and god said unto him i don't know about you but i'm glad for the day when god speaks up in my desperation i've been hearing a lot of voices and i've been reading a lot of posts but what i've been waiting on in my desperation is the voice of the almighty speak to me again god it's been 30 years since i've heard your voice if you want to divine intervention in your family then there's some things you've got to do and first the bible says god speaks to the man jacob let me insert here man or woman you know how many people it takes to get something moving one he spoke whoever that it is that takes hold of that here's the voice of the lord and kicks into action who will obey me that's what he's asking and what does he say he says listen i want you verse one i want you to arise put verse one up i want you to arise and go up to Bethel go up to Bethel don't go down go up to Bethel look at god already changing his course in a correction go up to Bethel what are we going to do there he said i want you to dwell there dwell in the place where you knew god's presence i had a prayer chair for years that was my prayer chair i can smell it right now because i buried my face in it many times had to get rid of it because it's a little bit rugged so i got me another prayer chair i was in that chair this morning you know why because i need to dwell wherever i can find the place i'm not talking about geographical i'm not even talking about that i'm just talking about you know and i know the place where you have an encounter with god and i'm just going to tell you you can't do it while you're driving down the road in your car or at your job or somewhere you can talk to god but ladies and gentlemen there needs to be a quiet singular place where you can bury your face into the carpet or into the chair or just listen this is what happened charles stanley dr charles stanley had a personal private prayer room inside of his church and whenever he went into that room after studying the word of god he would shut the lights completely out and he would moan and groan in the spirit until god began to speak to him ladies and gentlemen it makes no difference if your name is joey or jacob everybody needs a place where you know that you know that you know that you can get a hold of god and here's the ammunition once you get up and you find that place then dwell there why is he saying that to jacob because he's been running all of his life he said when you find it this time don't move from it stay there dwell there the reason why you're in the trouble is because you go touch base and then you run away and try to fight your own battle you need a divine intervention and i want to let you know nobody can get you out of it but god almighty dwell there in bethel why is it a significant place because he even emphasizes multiple times in the scripture right here he said he is almost like he's saying to jacob hey jacob you remember the place bethel it's the place when you were in trouble with your brother that you fled and you found me why is he reminding him of that because we have to be reminded don't we it's listen any divine intervention and encounter with god is not going to take you to some new place he's going to require you to go back to the place that you found him the first time jacob you remember in your distress that god met you there do you remember the place where you saw the ladder that came down from heaven come on somebody do you remember the angels going up and down he wants to recall that to him because he's been 30 years away from it and he needs to remind him that it's not a new church you need and it's not a new wife you need and it's not a new husband you need you need an encounter with me and a divine intervention that's going to shift everything same place same place you remember what jacob said he said i was there in this place and i saw this and i and i heard the voice of god and he said i found the gate to heaven i found god's address the address of this house right here is 3948 highway 90 if this is a place of divine intervention and i truly believe it is otherwise you wouldn't be sitting in here right now it is a sanctified separated place of impartation that you can receive the word of god and have an encounter with god outside from the voices and the trouble and the disturbance in the wars and rumors of wars and drugs and everything else i can come into this sanctuary and say oh lord speak to my heart i need to hear you and jacob said i was in that place but i didn't even realize it was god's place i'm gonna tell you some of my friends it's a hard desperate decay in our hearts when we can be in the presence of god but we don't even know he's there that's a you want to talk about something troubling for a pastor is to know the presence of god a sweeping across the auditorium and people are getting touched by the power of god and somebody's sitting there fooling around with netflix on their phone you mean you can be that close to god and not even know oh yes pastor how do you know that because i've been right there preoccupied with anything and everything and all the sudden the lord is passing right by me i'm gonna tell you i'm gonna be like those two on the road to a mayas today i'm gonna reach out and snatch him and say oh no you're not leaving here come on in my house again come on in my house and let's commune together i need divine intervention jacob said i remember that place god i remember it's where heaven opened up you were there you dealt with me in your present why why is there why is there such a struggle whenever you come in here or on your way here this morning to get to worship to get to the word why why does the tire go flat and the kids get mean and everything else under the sun happened when you've decided i'm going to church today this is the day the lord look at you smiling right now i must have hit the tap right there i can see it on your faces you're such a giveaway you're a giveaway to your to your spouse too because you're looking at safe no she didn't send me an email i got no forwarding correspondence i just came to tell you that's the reason why there's a struggle because the devil knows if you ever find that place where the presence of god is you'll have the chance to shake that snake off in the fire and stop the ear of the liar that's coming into your head you'll have a place where you can be saved and healed and delivered oh god let peace assembly be a place where the ladder is down and the glory of god will fall i want to say this to you right here before i move on it doesn't happen because you just come in here sit down on your hands and do nothing i'm going to say something that i've said for years having a pentecostal spirit field church is a hard thing in this hour it's a hard thing you have a lot of spirits but i'm talking about one where the freedom of god's word and the freedom of god's spirit is moving in any given service you want to know what makes a pentecostal church real pentecostal it's not because everybody speaks in tongues in there a real spirit field church not because that everybody has walks up and they got them a little badge on with a little flame on it as the brand of that church no no no it is a church where the unexpected could happen in any moment and you have no idea because the only agenda we have is the agenda of heaven and its presence that means every once in a while you gotta open your mouth and wave your hand and say lord stoke the fire in it you you gotta stoke the fire if you want the fire to burn because let me tell you something build a fire and you're neglect of it it will go out all by itself you're holding that baby in your arms this morning if the lord don't come back before we pass off of this earth what is that baby and my grandchildren and your children and grandchildren gonna inherit are they gonna inherit some sticks in the mud and dried up dried location where there's no water in the land and they look at this church and years from now and drive down the highway and say well that's where the power used to be i came to tell you i'm fighting the fight this morning trying to let you know god we've got to stoke the fire somebody bring the wood somebody bring the fuel somebody stir up a praise in your soul otherwise the fire will go out all by itself say amen somebody what is he telling me says listen this is the reason why we can't get fire started he says this is the reason why there's trouble go back to the place but but before you leave he said i want you to put away the idols be clean and change your garments because you can't go back into the presence of god with the same stuff inside of your heart you're going to have to bury some stuff some there's going to be a killing that's going to have to take place come on somebody don't pray lord not my will but thine be done and nothing changes you wearing the same clothes that you are before i'm not talking about physical i'm talking about those same dirty garments he said oh no you got to put those off and be clean that bear the vessels of the lord he said i want you to get yourself together and i want you to tear out of your life everything you've been hiding everything you've been burying every other god you've been worshiping he said i want you to get it out and bury it by this old oak tree bury it by the tree come on somebody in this building shall bury it see i'm not your judge and you're not mine somebody say glory hallelujah right there we got enough of that going on when i get off the phone this morning from somebody early this morning whose son is in a desperate place and for the first time in his life he has to look at his son through bars and and a poster on the wall you get in the desperate place and i don't care who you are where am i going to go pastor well the first place i need to go is to look introspectively in my own heart and say god blot out my transgressions renew a right spirit within me and if there be any wicked way in me whatsoever purge me from my sins and cleanse me from my unrighteousness come on somebody pastor i don't sin you're a liar pastor i don't i don't have all those problems you don't i know what you have the heart is desperately wicked above all things you don't know how far you'll go the man who took a gun up and slaughtered people in main this past week did not know at one point in his life that he would do such and then turn the gun on himself ladies and gentlemen evil is evil to the core and you cannot tolerate it in your own heart otherwise it will blow up to something that you have no idea so i came to head it off at the past i came to tell you that god is saying the same thing to us as he said to jacob i need you to get back to bethle if you're interested in my presence oh wait a minute you can have church without my presence people are doing it by the thousands today talk to me somebody here's churches gathering together right now and they're singing the same songs we did and they're going all through the calisthenics just like everybody else does but there's no presence of god there if you want to know what burdens my heart more than anything else is your pastor it's that one thing right there my prayer is constantly oh lord take not thy holy spirit from me thy holy spirit oh pastor don't worry about that he said he never leave us never frisagas it's not him that's leaving it's us who depart to luz who's got a back pocket full of idols just in case god doesn't work out i came to tell you get rid of all the stuff that doesn't belong in the place of god pull down every stronghold cast down every imagination put every sin under the tree because god has provided a tree for our deliverance and it is the cross are y'all with me this morning it's the cross there's an old oak tree there at shechem and he said god said i want you to take all that stuff and bury it underneath that oak tree oh i knew when i read this it was going to be some kickback give me your earrings he's not talking about what you're wearing in your ears he's talking about the problem is is that what you're wearing on your ears has gotten down on your heart and it's more important than me because an idol is anything an idol is anything an idol is anything and anyone who stands between you and god now you better watch here now because there's fixing to be a killing right here he said i want you to bury it under this oak tree and i started reading about that old oak it's the same oak that abraham stopped at in hebron and got up underneath that tree and had an encounter with three angels up underneath that tree but here's here's the thing that really got me out of all the locations where this tree is as a matter of fact it's been held in high regard and this and has been in that location for a long time even even in recent years the same oak they've memorialized that they're in israel here what i'm telling you it wasn't that oak tree that got me it was the tree that was on the only watch this east and west highway that jacob was on walking on this road and finds himself there at shekham and buries it up underneath the tree that's on the own the only east and west highway in israel at the time and here's what the holy spirit dropped in my spirit he said if you'll bury your sins i will cast them oh it could have been on a trail going north and south but it was on the one going east and west to remind us even in the old testament i will take your sins and cast them as far as the east is from the west never to be remembered against you again same old tree called the cross and there they bury those idols i'm gonna just tell you something my friends you better hear this preacher this morning i'm almost done you better examine your own heart like this preacher has done this past week and if there's any idols whatsoever standing between you and the presence of god get them out bury them at the cross and get up and move on to where the presence of god is quickly what happened the people responded when they saw jacob he called him and said bring your stuff and you know what they did this is what i'm doing for you this morning bring your stuff bring your idols we're gonna bury them up underneath this tree and they responded that was an act of repentance on their part when they saw jacob was serious it was repentance that took place and i want you to know when the church gets serious people on the outside will take note the church's role is to hold up the convictions that god said not washington it's time to break from the strange gods and the idols that so easily beset us and bury those things under that old oak tree because god's intervening in the hour that we're in right now and here's what took place here's divine intervention check this out when they buried all of their idols and they started making their way to Bethel the bible says that the enemies that were waiting wouldn't would normally attack them when they heard that they were going that way god protected them and the enemies in the other cities would not even touch them that's called divine protection ladies and gentlemen when you repent god he encamps around about them that fear the lord if you don't fear the lord you'll keep on with your idol but if you fear the lord lord sanctify me today and you know what god will do god will put a hedge of protection around you divine intervention from your enemies you don't know what i'm talking about satan knows when you're serious when your purpose on getting to the place of god's presence here's what i've got to ask you how many times has god intervened to protect you so that you could get to god and you didn't even know he did it how about the car wreck that you were in that could have killed you but you're alive sitting here this morning how about the overdose that almost took you under but you're alive sitting here this morning how about the trip up in the trap of the devil but you got up and said i will go to the house of god how about the temptation that could have taken you and your whole family out and yet today you said no to the devil and he has to get to the house of god ladies and gentlemen when god steps in everything changes i hurry the bible says in chapter 35 verse 7 he built an altar there and called the place Bethel it was a personal altar jacob built it himself he said i'm building this thing to the house of a strong god the almighty god and then what happened i told you there was a death in verse number eight he builds the altar they sacrifice unto god truly and get their hearts right and some people get all messed up when this happens are you with me because about the time i get right then something dies about the time i start giving my consecration to god all the sudden things get difficult and and tight and and all of a sudden the enemy's like he's attacking more and more why because you made a sacrifice on the altar and what happened they get ready to get up and keep on going to Bethel with this altar and the nurse of rebecca debra dies and they bury her under the oak tree of weeping hear me church whenever you get ready to encounter god in a divine intervention what happens something is going to die that you've depended on pastor i don't want anything to die let me just say this to you the only way for you to get closer to god is for that thing to be moved off of the air pastor i don't want that to take place i don't either because our flesh loved it come on somebody i think of abraham the mother of ishmael she comes up and says hey what do you want to talk about hey you don't have to go you don't have to go watch what i'm telling you because we think praise is standing in here singing these praise songs and and lifting our hands but i'm going to tell you what praise is it's a sacrifice you better hear this preacher it's a sacrifice of praise it means it's going to cost you something to consecrate yourself to god too too much too much is open too much is going on i'm gonna have to cut something off in order for me to draw near to god i don't want to do that pastor i don't either and sometimes i don't even have answers for it but the bible is very clear debora died not seeing that place or the presence of god was pastor that's kind of depressing well you could look at it as depressing but then you can think about the tears that float off onto her casket and they had to leave her there there have been times when i've had to walk away from graves when people have passed saints family members and i didn't have an explanation why i've lost some things in my walk with the lord that i thought i needed but god said no more you need me more than you need it come on somebody i had to die to that thing it's called the death of a promise is when abraham ascended all the way up to mount mariah and took his son isek and laid him out on the altar and reached his knife up ladies and gentlemen god wasn't trying to kill the boy he was trying to get to the heart of abraham to find out can i trust you with what i'm going to bless you with that's exactly what the book said he raised the knife up and the angel said abraham abraham now i know god said i can trust you with many nations god says there's a transformation that takes place but i'm gonna leave you this morning in one minute to tell you that there will always be an impartation that comes let me just tell you something you're never going to sacrifice more that god doesn't bless you over and above what that is and this one may be hard for you to swallow right here this one may be hard for you to swallow because the bible said that joe lost all of his cattle all of his wealth he even lost all of his children and he came to a point where he said i'm ready to just die just kill me god and even his friends got on facebook and posted you sin but they didn't put his name in there but everybody knew he was talking about he got down into a discussion with god and god let him babble on until god said where were you joe when i flung the stars into space and the moon and the sun what i'm trying to tell you is joe i've got the power to be able to raise back to life anything that's been slain here's where it may be hard for you because i don't see this anywhere else i can't find i've studied it a long time and i can't find it joe was married to the same woman in the beginning as he was in the end of his book and the bible says that here comes out of that dead womb of a of a wife that was telling me curse god and die and god even restored the mother the wife back to the place where she should where she delivered seven more children and god blessed them double for their trouble i came to tell you whatever you do don't don't stop at the place of death get up there is an impartation that is coming come on say man somebody here's the impartation look at verse 11 put it on the wall i'm done right here put it on the wall verse 11 play me something verse 11 look at what god said and god said unto him i am god almighty now what you're hearing right now in this verse is not a new word from the lord it is a renewal of the original covenant made with adam and with his grandfather abraham in other words stop looking for a new word and go back and get the one that's yet to be developed and producing in your life oh pastor i need somebody prophesied no no no you haven't walked out the last prophecy they came when god spoke to you originally his word is still reverberating over your head let me tell you what god has said to this church in years gone by that pace would be a lighthouse to the community you know what's going to happen this week we're going to turn the light on like we never have and let the beacon of the lighthouse shine all over this community and say come into me all you that labor and are heavy laden this is a church that believes in a second jam he said i'm the lord god almighty i am elshadai that's the same first revealing of god in the very beginning i am elshadai here's what he said look what he said be fruitful and multiply what do you say that to adam who else do you say it to abraham who's he saying it to now shake up his grandson there's some words that you've already had that you haven't acted on yet because that idol has been blocking you but now that that thing's going to get out of the way now i can be fruitful and multiply and watch what he says a nation that's israel and a company of nations that's all your sons jacob a company of nations shall be of thee and i'm going to tell you when i read this i wanted to come out of my skin and kings shall come out of thy loins i'm just going to tell you in this building right here god has anointed you and touched your life and drawn you and brought you to the kingdom and kept you alive for such a time as this right now and i submit to you that in this building there are people that are carrying kings inside of their inside being right now god has within side of you somebody else that needs to be birthed out pastor i'm past childbearing you i'm not talking about you parent a little son i'm talking about what god put on the inside of you there are kings that are living on the inside of you who do we need we need someone to come along and carry the torch long after i'm gone somebody needs to be running and it's going to take a king with a kingly anointing he said you're going to be fruitful and you're going to multiply and this is what he said and god appeared to him here at 30 years later i thank god he said you remember that place a prayer meeting jacob yeah you remember how exhausted and distressed you were yeah he said i want you to know you're in that right place right now welcome home to bethle the bible says that jacob looked over there on the side and you know what he saw that pillar 30 years ago i can see jacob please let me a little expansion right here i can see jacob seeing that pillar that he set up as a memorial to god to say this is god's house 30 years it fallen over i see old jacob going up to that same place and standing it back up he said you're in the place jacob where you first met me now i want you to get a fresh encounter because what i've got for you is going to far outlast you he said god is hard for me to see that far he said i know it's hard for you to see that far but upon your descendants are going to come the blessing he's he's gonna say he's gonna say in the year he says jacob i don't know if you know this or not but in the year of 2023 your children and descendants are going to be fighting against that ancient spirit of amalek but he said i want you to know i'm going to step in between him and i'm going to fight in their defense because i am the lord god almighty and i will keep you to the fourth and fifth generation out of your lawns you're going to come kings it's my hope that out of this church will come more kings people that will go to the far reaches people that will go across the street he said now i'm going to tell you this he said jacob i can't leave you the same way because your name means trickster in con i can't let people keep calling you con and trickster so today jacob i'm changing your name you're no longer being called by what you used to be the pimp the drug addict the whatever i'm gonna call your name israel israel did you hear what i just said do you know what's on the news at night israel do you know what's in the news articles across the world history everybody's talking about israel and they have no idea that it started way back here and had god not intervene with jacob there would be no israel now but god said i've changed it because i'm going to preserve your prosperity change your name he said not only that but i'm going to give you the land you know what they're fighting over today he said not only that but i'm going to make you prosper someone give you a seed and in all in you salvation is going to come to the nations jacob this is the place mark this place he poured oil and he poured the water on the place and anointed it again he said this time i'm going to know let me say this to you whether you know it or not you're sitting in a chair right now and walked into a building that for over 90 years people have come through here with oil and touched these chairs they put their hand up on the doorpost and they've anointed this place and you know what many of them are not here anymore they're gone on to heaven and you know who's sitting in that seat right now you are but i found out even though my grandmother and grandfather are going to heaven anointed by the power of god i can't ride in brother legerald on her coat strings i gotta

Hello everybody, welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2021 tutorial. In this one I'm going to show you how to change the saturation of a particular color. In this one We've got a nice old Volkswagen van here, and we changed the saturation of the orange. How did we do it? Easy. This is the original shot. It's kind of plain.  We just jacked saturation up on the orange color and that looks great All right, how did we do it easy? Let me show you from the start You should be able to do this in about nah two minutes at most What you want to do drop some footage into the timeline like I have done here first off Secondly go to your effects panel if you don't see it Just go to window and make sure there's a check mark beside effects Excellent under effects. You'll see the search bar and you're gonna want to type in Lumetri Color, this is the color correction tool that has been updated recently and it is incredible Get that one Lumetri color and drag and drop that onto the video just like that It initially doesn't do anything. Do not panic. We got this go to your effect controls panel on the left side here If you don't see it again window make sure there's a check mark beside it go to Lumetri color go down to Curves we are going to be working on the curves So if you don't see that you just want to drop that triangle or chevron I think it's called and then drop the one beside curves and now we're in business the first curve is the RGB curve We don't want to work on that one. We want to work on the second curve, which is called hue Saturation curves now what we want to do is we want to click on this little eyedropper beside hue Versat selector left click on it and you're gonna see the eyedropper icon now instead of the Standard arrow selection tool left click on a section of the orange on the Volkswagen for example whatever color you're working on do the same when you do that You're gonna see that it has selected three little dots It's got three dots on a line here the line the up and down how high up or high down It is the is the hue and the saturation is right here So I'm gonna left click on the middle button here or the middle dot I guess that's a better way to put it and then I'm going to increase it dramatically to show you the effect Now when I do that it takes a second sometimes to register it that could be a little bit too far But that is how you change the hue saturation in particular for this Kind of video and you could do it in about 90 seconds or two minutes and you want to see the original shot plain blown out boring Completely saturated color corrected. It looks great guys. That's all there is to it Thanks for watching got a lot more stuff coming
