And in Leviticus 26 verse 8 it says in five of you shall chase in a hundred and
in hundred of you shall put
10,000 to flight and your enemy shall fall before you by the sword the Bible says five of you shall chase in hundred now
That's 20 people per one person
That's a lot of people right, but then it says a hundred of you shall put 10,000 to flight
That's a hundred people per one person it started with 20 people per one person

They're gonna be reaching bigger and better things you see it's not good enough for our church
Just to get twice as many people saved as last year. We need to be reaching higher levels. We need high goals
You say well, that's difficult. Well. We're looking here at what a perfect church ought to be like I understand. It's difficult
It's gonna take a lot of man-hours
