00:02there is a moment in every spiritual movement when people realize they're
00:09standing inside something far bigger than the platform the Creator the
00:15statistics or even their own expectations that moment is happening
00:22right now and it's happening here what God is doing on this channel is not
00:28small accidental or ordinary it's intentional stirring and friends this is
00:37growing in ways that are deeper than numbers and faster than any human I can
00:42track with over 2,100 videos already released and thousands more forming in
00:51the quiet places of my heart God has been building something that is more than
00:57content it's a calling it is a compulsion that has taken hold of my life in a way
01:05I cannot fully explain but I know it's him I know I am meant to pour this out every
01:14single day and I know that those who gather here are meant to be a part of
01:21something unfolding beyond our sight what you are witnessing is a work of God you
01:29can feel it even before you can prove it this is where we stand together right now
01:39now I don't think if you're new to the channel or even if you've been here a
01:43while that you even realize the sheer scale of what has already happened I have
01:51written over 3500 long-form articles each of them are 5000 words or more and they
02:00have been written for the public spread across eight separate platforms and are all
02:07anchored in Scripture one for every single chapter of the New Testament of the Holy
02:15Bible that's eight articles per chapter across eight separate websites and this is
02:25not a team effort it's not a corporation and it's not an organization with staff or
02:32writers or committees it's me sitting here doing the work and my wife sitting
02:39right there supporting me it's one person one life one calling and this is one
02:49burden that refuses to let go I've worked so hard I've neglected my health I've had a
02:56chronic bloody nose that just will not stop and I've had back pains where I've required
03:03major medications and intervention from a doctor because I'll just sit there for 9 to 12 hours a day
03:12sometimes even 14 and I have a compulsion to write right on the New Testament create new
03:19scripts for new videos and right now this body of work will stand as the largest solo
03:29commentary on every chapter of the New Testament in the history of the world not
03:37because I set out to break records and not because I want recognition I didn't even
03:44plan any of this God place something inside me that simply will not stop every morning
03:52every night every moment of stirring has been him urging me forward and you being here means you
04:03are already part of this unfolding miracle what God is doing here is not meant to be contained it was
04:12never meant to stay in one place or on one channel with just this one audience or
04:19one corner of the internet the people who need these messages are scattered everywhere and the only way
04:29they will find hope healing strength and a renewed relationship with God is if those who are touched by
04:36these words are willing to carry them outward now you know where I'm going with
04:43this if you watch my videos if you read my articles if you read anything that God has placed in
04:50my heart
04:51share it on your social media platform reshare it let's get this message out there let's grow this
04:59faster than anything has ever grown before let's share the word of God across the world
05:06I've done the work I've put together a massive library of content I just need you to help me share
05:14it with the
05:15rest of the world and you know what sharing these messages is not really even about boosting a page it's
05:23not about
05:24algorithm games or popularity sharing is ministry sharing is evangelism of the heart if you help me share you are
05:37planting seeds in places you may never see and in lives you may never meet at moments you may never
05:47even witness you know I cannot tell you the other day on Monday I took my daughter to a
05:54a movie and we took a lift to the movie and back and on the ride back the
06:00lift driver said I know who you are I lost my job in May of last year and we had
06:08a brand new baby right when everything fell apart I found your videos and I want to let you know
06:15you are making a difference in my life I don't get paid to do this I'm doing all this work
06:23you are free basically yeah the channels monetized but if you think youtubers all make millions of dollars you believe
06:32anything it's not true and you know what one share can reach someone who is drowning in silence I'm always
06:44running into
06:45people who need help in one way or the other and it's amazing it just blows me away the power
06:53of words how we can put one video out there or share one video and just the right words at
07:01the right time mean more than you can ever leave possible than you can ever possibly imagine to the right
07:09individual
07:11and you know one share can reach a soul who has never known the love of God personally and when
07:18you share you are not supporting me you are partnering with God you are stepping into the story he is
07:27writing here and this is big nobody else is doing this right now there's no platform out there right now
07:33with 2100 plus
07:35christian videos christian videos christian videos there's nobody out there in the history of the world that has ever written
07:413500 plus 5000 word articles 8 for every single chapter every single one from matthew to revelation
07:51christian nobody has ever done that this is special and this is special and this is different and i want
07:59you to know that and i want you to help me share it with the world you know i don't
08:04come on here and market to you i don't come on here and ask for money all i'm asking is
08:10that you just help me share the word of god it costs you nothing but a little bit of time
08:15to
08:16re-reshare one of these videos or put a video out there or share it with somebody you care about
08:23you know you're actually doing something good and it won't cost you anything there is evidence in scripture that god
08:31often begins his greatest works through relentless faithfulness rather than early applause
08:40think about noah he built for years before a single drop of rain fell david served quietly before the throne
08:51paul wrote letters long before they became scripture you see god asks for obedience before he reveals
09:02and that is what this entire movement has been obedience without explanation faithfulness without certainty and a lot of labor
09:16without applause but now the season is shifting and i've been inspired to ask you to help me now is
09:26the time when
09:27this message must travel beyond this circle now is the time when god uses people ordinary everyday people to fan
09:37the spark into flame you are not here by coincidence you are here because god wants you to be part
09:45of something that grows through hands like yours voices like yours and hearts like yours
09:55and when people ask how a channel grows and when people ask how a channel grows the truth is simple
10:01it grows because the people who believe in it refuse to keep it to themselves you have power that no
10:10algorithm can replicate when you share a message any of these messages you lend it your credibility when you repost
10:21a talk you connect
10:23it to circles that would never discover it otherwise every time you speak about what god is doing here you
10:33widen the reach of heaven's network this is how movements begin this is how revival spreads it happens through people
10:45who say something real is happening here something god ordained is unfolding
10:54come see what god is unfolding come see what god is doing and the reason this matters is because the
11:01work is too large to stay silent at this time with thousands of videos thousands of articles and a daily
11:11outpouring that has no signs of slowing down because i'm not going to stop i come here every day whether
11:19i'm sick whether i don't have a voice whether i'm tired
11:22i've showed up through covid all the way to exhaustion but i show up every day because i promised you
11:29i would be here and i've made that commitment now make a commitment to me this is becoming one of
11:39the most extensive faith building archives available anywhere in the digital format on planet earth not because of human ambition
11:49but because of divine insistence
11:51this is all i do it's all i think about this is the burden i carry thank god and i
12:01cannot explain the compulsion that has driven me to write night after night and speak message after message but i
12:10know the source i know the author behind every word i'm not smart enough to do all
12:18i know the author behind every word i'm not smart enough to do all this and if god is generating
12:21this this much content this consistency this much urgency then it's meant to reach people far beyond us
12:33and that is why your reshares matter that is why your reposts matter that is why telling people matters when
12:44you help distribute a body of work that has the potential to change lives for years maybe generations to come
12:52your simple decision to press that share button may bring a wandering soul
12:59back to christ back to christ your choice to post a message might lift someone out of depression despair or
13:08spiritual paralysis i've seen all three i get the messages i get the emails i meet the people out in
13:17public your willingness to spread this movement is how god takes what he is doing here
13:23and breathes it into the world the early church well the early church grew not because of marketing but because
13:34of people who carried the message with conviction that same dynamic is happening now and you are part of it
13:43so here we are god is doing something big bigger than numbers bigger than platforms
13:53i'm a former atheist this is bigger than anything i can even comprehend and i've done a lot in my
14:00life this is bigger than i ever imagined it would ever be at the beginning and the way it continues
14:09to grow is simple you and i we walk together we share together and as daughters and sons of of
14:21of our god
14:22we believe together and we trust that god is multiplying every fact of faithfulness in ways we cannot yet see
14:32if this movement has touched you share it if these messages have strengthened you pass them on
14:44if god if god has stirred something in your spirit through this channel let someone else feel that same spark
14:52together is how this grows together is how this spreads together is how this spreads and together is how god
15:03uses ordinary people to carry extraordinary hope into the world
15:10and the truth is friends we are only at the beginning
15:20my name is douglas vandergraaf and i believe in jesus christ god bless you my friends thank you
15:32bye bye bye
