  82. 3:28ken harrison you never thought you'd be
  83. 3:31connected
  84. 3:32from being a police officer and you went
  85. 3:36into
  86. 3:36business in real estate and you became
  87. 3:39unbelievably successful and wealthy
  88. 3:42then you were asked to take over an
  89. 3:44organization
  90. 3:45where people want to give to charities
  91. 3:47and they want to guard their resources
  92. 3:49wisely
  93. 3:50and you headed that up and helped it
  94. 3:52grow and then all of a sudden
  95. 3:55somebody asked you to do something with
  96. 3:57promise keepers
  97. 3:58following something and i'm just telling
  98. 4:00you these are things i know
  99. 4:02that you wanted to retire
  100. 4:06ski and hike and you were located in
  101. 4:09castle pines and between denver and
  102. 4:12colorado springs
  103. 4:14and god said you weren't going to do
  104. 4:16that so what did he let you know you
  105. 4:18were going to do
  106. 4:19and then you hear about the promise
  107. 4:21keeper's situation
  108. 4:22well you know you've heard me tell this
  109. 4:24story i was praying
  110. 4:26really in the spirit just really you
  111. 4:28know those moments when you have you
  112. 4:29wish you could be on the mountain top
  113. 4:30with the lord where he's speaking to you
  114. 4:32and
  115. 4:32and all of a sudden he said ken by name
  116. 4:36i did not
  117. 4:37put you through everything i did and
  118. 4:38teach you everything i did so you could
  119. 4:39ski and hike for the rest of your life
  120. 4:41which was my plan and i said lord what
  121. 4:45do you want me to do
  122. 4:45and he said are you willing to be as
  123. 4:47ambitious for my kingdom as you were for
  124. 4:48your kingdom
  125. 4:50and i in not one of my greatest moments
  126. 4:52said i don't know
  127. 4:55he said uh be careful of your answer
  128. 4:57it's gonna cost you your life and i
  129. 4:58i talked to the lord for about two hours
  130. 5:00i just said i
  131. 5:01tired of leadership tired of um
  132. 5:05firing people being sued stabbed in the
  133. 5:07back i just tired of people and when i
  134. 5:09finally got done whining at him
  135. 5:11and said yeah lord whatever you want he
  136. 5:12said i'll tell you what i have for you
  137. 5:13when you're ready
  138. 5:14and then three more years went by where
  139. 5:16i just learned humility and learned to
  140. 5:18seek him and learn closeness with him
  141. 5:19and finally when
  142. 5:20promise keepers came along i didn't see
  143. 5:22it i didn't know it i didn't want
  144. 5:24anything to do with it and god reminded
  145. 5:26me i said remember that conversation we
  146. 5:27had that night in your closet
  147. 5:30this was it my men need to be woken up
  148. 5:33so here we are well we want to make sure
  149. 5:35all of you know that
  150. 5:37there's no attempt to resurrect promise
  151. 5:39keepers
  152. 5:40they had hundreds of stadium and
  153. 5:41coliseum meetings
  154. 5:43not only all over the united states but
  155. 5:44all over the world and it was men coming
  156. 5:47together at the invitation of a coach
  157. 5:49who had won a national championship who
  158. 5:51faced a lot of challenges himself but he
  159. 5:53really
  160. 5:53somehow inspired men to seek god and to
  161. 5:56become promised
  162. 5:57keepers you and i know ken that men are
  163. 6:01not to lord over anything and the lord
  164. 6:03is to be their lord
  165. 6:04and if they do what god wants them to be
  166. 6:06doing they're going to be
  167. 6:08leading wisely under the direction of
  168. 6:10the lord god almighty
  169. 6:12well that was beginning to happen with
  170. 6:13these men and they were beginning to
  171. 6:15come become like a family
  172. 6:16and it ended with that stand in the gap
  173. 6:19where we all came
  174. 6:20together to say to america let's be men
  175. 6:22of god let's be the examples god wants
  176. 6:24us to be
  177. 6:25starting with our families in our
  178. 6:26communities of course in our churches
  179. 6:28in other words let's look like the
  180. 6:30family of the perfect father
  181. 6:32now we don't know why suddenly it's just
  182. 6:35like it
  183. 6:36it looks like it faded and here's one of
  184. 6:38the things that i've tried to make clear
  185. 6:39very clear
  186. 6:40there is no movement other than the move
  187. 6:42of god through the one force on this
  188. 6:45earth
  189. 6:45the gates of hell cannot be effective
  190. 6:48against
  191. 6:49that's the church of the living god it
  192. 6:52is
  193. 6:52that church that force not any
  194. 6:55organization or
  195. 6:56part of the church that you suddenly let
  196. 6:59replace the church
  197. 7:00so when we're talking about promise
  198. 7:01keepers we're talking about men
  199. 7:04doing what those men were seeing was
  200. 7:06important and
  201. 7:07in faith you believe god wanted you to
  202. 7:10ask for a tnt stadium which is a very
  203. 7:13well-known stadium where dallas used to
  204. 7:15have a football team
  205. 7:16played there and people knew about them
  206. 7:17maybe again someday here's the deal
  207. 7:20we want to see men come together in the
  208. 7:22presence of god
  209. 7:23to become the examples and leaders that
  210. 7:26love their wives the way god wants them
  211. 7:28to be loved
  212. 7:30that wives want to be loved and have a
  213. 7:32man that's a man they want to be treated
  214. 7:33like a queen but not by a pawn
  215. 7:35by a king that loves the king king of
  216. 7:38kings
  217. 7:39and love them leave the children
  218. 7:40properly i believe the stage is set for
  219. 7:43the greatest move of god
  220. 7:44in the lives of the people in the church
  221. 7:46and with men
  222. 7:48ken is that i'm just going to ask you
  223. 7:50point blank are we trying to bring back
  224. 7:51promise keepers are we trying to see the
  225. 7:54god that
  226. 7:55moved them under his control
  227. 7:58make the powerful impact the church
  228. 8:01should make
  229. 8:02on everything on god's planet that's
  230. 8:04such an important point we're not trying
  231. 8:06to bring back a ministry we're not
  232. 8:07trying to bring back the 90s
  233. 8:09we're trying to wake our men up because
  234. 8:11our women and children are
  235. 8:12are depending on our men waking up
  236. 8:14because when men are screwed up it's
  237. 8:15women and children who suffer
  238. 8:17the church needs men to be strong they
  239. 8:19need to be reminded of who they are in
  240. 8:21christ
  241. 8:22that they are kings they are son of god
  242. 8:24and as when it comes to leadership it's
  243. 8:26servant leadership
  244. 8:27we're to lead our wives like christ
  245. 8:29leads the church
  246. 8:30which is to love them and to give our
  247. 8:32lives up for them um we got to stop
  248. 8:34arguing with each other and we got to
  249. 8:35start coming back together as who we are
  250. 8:37we're beggars
  251. 8:38telling other beggars where we found
  252. 8:39bread christ's grace is good enough for
  253. 8:42you
  254. 8:42for me and for everybody else that's
  255. 8:44going to be in that stadium that's the
  256. 8:45message we got to get out
  257. 8:47and when we do when we start acting like
  258. 8:49who god
  259. 8:50said we can be when we're born again and
  260. 8:52change from the inside and filled with
  261. 8:54the holy spirit
  262. 8:56the whole church the whole world is
  263. 8:57blessed by that
  264. 8:59betty what do you think about you know
  265. 9:00you people have said they
  266. 9:02they believe we love each other we're
  267. 9:04crazy about each other we've been
  268. 9:05married
  269. 9:0657 years we're more in love than we have
  270. 9:08ever been and we went together four
  271. 9:09years before we married so we've been
  272. 9:11together
  273. 9:11over 60 years i'm crazy about you but i
  274. 9:14wouldn't have made it without you
  275. 9:16you became the source of strength but
  276. 9:18how important is it to you to know that
  277. 9:21that i loved you and you could help me
  278. 9:23learn we can learn together how
  279. 9:24important is for men
  280. 9:26to really come to god and learn how to
  281. 9:28love their wives the way women want to
  282. 9:30be loved
  283. 9:31and inspired and blessed and lead the
  284. 9:33children how important is that to you
  285. 9:35and
  286. 9:35how important do you think it is in our
  287. 9:36nation i'm very excited about what god
  288. 9:38has put on your heart ken
  289. 9:40to really seek him first and then step
  290. 9:42by step let god
  291. 9:43guide you because i think it's so
  292. 9:45important you know
  293. 9:46god created us different man and woman
  294. 9:50and not to one lord over the other one
  295. 9:53but to work together
  296. 9:55help meet one another help meet each
  297. 9:57other's needs and to serve god together
  298. 10:00as one and i think that's what god has
  299. 10:02helped james and i do so much
  300. 10:04he has honored me as his wife i'm not
  301. 10:07less than he
  302. 10:08is he's not less than i am but we
  303. 10:11are a team and and we always
  304. 10:14want to move as one as god leads us
  305. 10:17and it makes for a happier heart a
  306. 10:20happier poem
  307. 10:21a happier place a family happier family
  308. 10:24when
  309. 10:25when mom and dad are working together
  310. 10:28not one telling the other not what to do
  311. 10:30the other
  312. 10:30you know always coming at one another i
  313. 10:33remember when our children
  314. 10:34were very very small and you know kids
  315. 10:36they can play try to play
  316. 10:38mom against dad they they do that very
  317. 10:40well
  318. 10:41and and so i remember one time when our
  319. 10:43kids were attempting to do this
  320. 10:45james set them all down and he said
  321. 10:47let's let's make something clear
  322. 10:50your mom and i are one
  323. 10:53in in guiding you and training you to
  324. 10:56grow up the way god wants you to
  325. 10:58but also to in discipline so do not play
  326. 11:01this game
  327. 11:01of one against the other and i think
  328. 11:04that's the way god wants it to be
  329. 11:06we're a team we're one we we complement
  330. 11:09the gifts that god god gave him
  331. 11:10different gifts he gave me different
  332. 11:12gifts but together they mesh because
  333. 11:15we're not trying to over want you know
  334. 11:17get over one
  335. 11:18and out do one another but we're trying
  336. 11:20to do what god's called us to do
  337. 11:22i promise you that you know betty and i
  338. 11:25really do pray for you
  339. 11:27and if we were in the living room with
  340. 11:29you in person you know these people love
  341. 11:30us
  342. 11:31i want god's best for you i want
  343. 11:34god's best in every man and every woman
  344. 11:37and for every child to behold the glory
  345. 11:39of the lord
  346. 11:41this meeting in july
  347. 11:45two days is to bring men together
  348. 11:49as many as come whether it's gideon's
  349. 11:51army
  350. 11:52or whether it's 80 000 men who decide
  351. 11:56to lose their life and kingdom purpose
  352. 11:58ken
  353. 11:59we're not just having a gathering with
  354. 12:01great anointed speakers which we've got
  355. 12:04we're having a gathering to come into
  356. 12:06the presence and fullness of god
  357. 12:09and i think you and i have come to hear
  358. 12:11something very clearly from god and
  359. 12:13together as we pray
  360. 12:15god cares about our dreams we too often
  361. 12:17make our dreams and our goals
  362. 12:19our kingdom god's building one kingdom
  363. 12:22and we're either gathering or scattering
  364. 12:24it's his kingdom
  365. 12:26he left us here to make a kingdom impact
  366. 12:28you and i seem to believe that if men
  367. 12:30would lose their life
  368. 12:32in his kingdom purpose the power of his
  369. 12:36kingdom would shake
  370. 12:37everything in this world do you agree
  371. 12:39with that
  372. 12:40and believe that's what we're really
  373. 12:42hoping praying
  374. 12:43and trusting god for we spent a lot of
  375. 12:46time together and betty you're good
  376. 12:47friends with my wife elliot so you know
  377. 12:49that there's no lording over my wife
  378. 12:52she's a tough woman and yeah
  379. 12:56at the stadium look when you talk to
  380. 12:58people who went to the eight the 90s
  381. 13:00events they talk about that feeling of
  382. 13:02hearing 80 000 men sing amazing grace
  383. 13:05that
  384. 13:05the feeling of i'm not alone anymore
  385. 13:07they can feel the holy spirit and
  386. 13:09i've heard more testimonies about men
  387. 13:11who went home and fell on their knees
  388. 13:12and asked their wife for forgiveness
  389. 13:14because
  390. 13:14they never knew any better until they
  391. 13:16heard these mature men of god explaining
  392. 13:18to them what it is to be a man
  393. 13:20and what it is to be a man surrendered
  394. 13:22to god and so we've seen
  395. 13:23households change 45 percent of the
  396. 13:26tickets that were bought in the 90s were
  397. 13:28bought by women
  398. 13:29sending their husbands and their hu and
  399. 13:31their sons to the event
  400. 13:32because they heard all the stories about
  401. 13:34completely transformed lives
  402. 13:35and transformed families and it's more
  403. 13:38important than ever today because
  404. 13:40we you know we're making the mistake of
  405. 13:42hoping that america wakes up somehow
  406. 13:43from this craziness that we're in
  407. 13:45we're not going to wake up unless the
  408. 13:47men of god wake us up
  409. 13:49because the education system and
  410. 13:52and then the homelessness the
  411. 13:53fatherlessness that's going on in this
  412. 13:54country

  584. 20:20young children more than
  585. 20:2210 graves that have been dug here these
  586. 20:25graves don't have a name yet
  587. 20:28they haven't been allocated to a child

  589. 20:33their children will die in the next week
  590. 20:35children
  591. 20:36who don't deserve to die they don't
  592. 20:39deserve to die
  593. 20:40simply because they didn't have enough
  594. 20:41food because their families couldn't
  595. 20:44provide for them because their village
  596. 20:46was ravaged by drought because they
