The building is not open to 43 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 4: the public because of the coronavirus, but we have a 44 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 4: few of our staff and family members with us. But 45 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 4: I'm always honored to be able to share with you. 46 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 4: So let's get started today with our Declaration of faith. 47 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 4: Come on, say it like you mean it. This is 48 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 4: my Bible. I am what it says I am. I 49 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 4: have what it says I have. I can do what 50 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 4: it says I can do. Today I will be taught 51 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 4: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, 52 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 4: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 53 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 4: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 54 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 4: to you today about greater is coming. We all face 55 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 4: setbacks in life and things we don't understand. When we 56 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 4: go through loss and disappointments, it's easy to get discouraged 57 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 4: and think that's the way it's always going to be. 58 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 4: But our God is a god of restoration. He doesn't 59 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 4: stop every difficulty, he doesn't keep us from every challenge. 60 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 4: But he did promise he would pay us back for 61 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 4: the wrongs. He would restore what was stolen. David said 62 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 4: in Psalm seventy one, you have allowed me to suffer 63 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 4: much hardship, but you will restore me to even greater honor. 64 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 4: The suffering is a set up. God allowed the difficulty 65 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 4: not to make you miserable, but to restore you to 66 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 4: greater honor. God never brings you out the same he 67 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 4: makes the enemy paid for bringing the trouble. When you're 68 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 4: in tough times, you have to remind yourself that is 69 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 4: not how your story ends. That loneliness, the bad break, 70 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 4: the anxiety is not your destiny. Greater is coming. Greater joy, 71 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 4: greater strength, Greater relationships that set back in your finances, 72 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 4: the clients you lost, the unfair childhood that didn't stop 73 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 4: your purpose, Greater opportunities are coming, Greater favor, greater influence. 74 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 4: The enemy brought it to set you back. He didn't 75 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 4: realize it's setting you up for God to show out 76 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 4: in your life. He meant it for your harm. God's 77 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 4: turning it to your advantage. When you're in difficult times, 78 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 4: keep this phrase in your spirit. Greater is coming. God 79 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 4: didn't bring you this far to leave you. He wouldn't 80 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 4: have allowed it if it was going to keep you 81 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 4: from your destiny. Just the opposite, it's going to launch 82 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 4: you into your destiny. Paul said, these light afflictions are 83 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 4: for a moment, but they are working in us and 84 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 4: eternal weight of glory. The trouble is temporary, the glory 85 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 4: is permanent. The key is don't stay focused on the suffering, 86 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 4: stay focused on the glory that's coming. It may be 87 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 4: tough right now, life has dealt you an unfair hand. 88 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 4: That suffering is not in vain. It's serving a purpose. 89 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 4: It's leading you to greater honor, greater favor, greater victories. 90 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 4: I love David's attitude. God, You've allowed me to suffer 91 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 4: much hardship. He could have stopped there and stayed focused 92 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 4: on the bad breaks. God, I don't understand it. Why 93 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 4: did my father leave me in the shepherd's fields? Why 94 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 4: is King Saul trying to kill me instead? David said, 95 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 4: in effect, God, have had a lot of bad breaks. 96 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 4: I've gone through much suffering, but I know this, You 97 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 4: will restore me to greater honor. He was thanking God 98 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 4: for greater in the middle of the difficulty. When you're 99 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 4: in tough times, you can either talk about how big 100 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 4: the problem is, or you can talk about how big 101 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 4: your God is. But if you're going to see the greater, 102 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 4: you have to do like David in the middle of 103 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 4: the difficulty, start declaring greater is coming. The medical report 104 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 4: doesn't look good while you're taking the treatment, Lord, thank 105 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 4: you that greater health is coming. Thank you that the 106 00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 4: number of my days you will fulfill When you're fighting depression, anxiety, fear, 107 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 4: don't sit around thinking about how you're never going to 108 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,119 Speaker 4: get better. Nor in the middle of the battle, Father, 109 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 4: thank you that greater joy is coming. Thank you that 110 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 4: you're pushing back forces of darkness. Your attitude in the 111 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 4: suffering will determine whether you come out with greater or 112 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 4: whether you stay where you are. First, Peter says, after 113 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 4: you have suffered a little while. I'm not saying that 114 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 4: if you have faith, you'll never have suffering, never have 115 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 4: things you don't understand. But keep the right perspective. The 116 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 4: suffering is not permanent. After you have suffered a little while, 117 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 4: not your whole life, not the next twenty years. Don't 118 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 4: believe those lies that what you're going through is never 119 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 4: going to change. You'll always struggle with the addiction. You'll 120 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 4: always have to deal with that illness, always have trouble 121 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 4: at work. No, the suffering is not going to last. 122 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 4: It didn't come to it came to pass. Well. God 123 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 4: started in your life, He is going to finish. But 124 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 4: here's the key to see the greater You have to 125 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 4: go through the suffering. I would love to tell you 126 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 4: that greater comes by just being positive by just staying 127 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 4: in faith. But there are certain levels you can only 128 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 4: reach by going through some things. Now, don't get stuck 129 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 4: in the suffering. Don't live bitter because somebody walked away. 130 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 4: Don't settle in the depression thinking that you're a lot 131 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 4: in life. Keep an attitude of faith and go through it. 132 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 4: Keep believing when every thought tells you it's never going 133 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 4: to change. Keep talking like it's going to happen when 134 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,679 Speaker 4: nothing is improving. Keep speaking God's favor when it seems 135 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 4: like you're wasting your time. The suffering is a test. 136 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 4: It's an opportunity to show God that you are not 137 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 4: going to get discouraged. You're not going to give up 138 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 4: on your dreams. You're not going to lose your passion. 139 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 4: The scripture goes on to say, after you have suffered 140 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 4: a little while, the God of all grace, who has 141 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 4: called you to his eternal glory, will himself restore you, 142 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 4: strengthen you, and establish you. God has already called you 143 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 4: to live a victorious life. It's already called you to 144 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 4: overcome every obstacle. The creator of the universe chose you 145 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 4: before you could choose him. The forces that are trying 146 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 4: to stop. You are no match for the God who 147 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 4: has already called you. Now, do like David, go through 148 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 4: the suffering with a good attitude. If you'll keep the 149 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 4: right perspective, then God himself will restore you. That means 150 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 4: he won't send the angels, he won't ask Gabriel to 151 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 4: do it. But the most High God will suddenly turn 152 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 4: things around. He will suddenly heal, suddenly promote, suddenly deliver. 153 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 4: Now many of you have past this test. You've been 154 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 4: doing the right thing, suffering with a smile, praising through 155 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 4: the pain, worshiping instead of worrying. Get ready, Greater is coming. 156 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 4: God is about to do a new thing. Problems that 157 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 4: look permanent are about to turn around. Dreams that look 158 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 4: too far gone are about to come to pass. The 159 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 4: right people, divine connections are going to find you. Greater 160 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 4: is coming. The enemy thought he was pulling you back 161 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 4: to keep you there. He didn't realize, like a bow 162 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 4: and arrow, the more he pulls you back, the further 163 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 4: God is going to shoot you. He thought he was 164 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 4: hindering you. The truth is he was helping you. The 165 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 4: suffering was a setup. God allowed it so he can 166 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 4: launch you to a new level of your destiny. Now. 167 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 4: Don't be discouraged by what you're going through. You couldn't 168 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 4: become who you were created to be without the struggle, 169 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 4: without the disappointment, without the bad break. I know it's uncomfortable, 170 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 4: I know you don't like it, but keep reminding yourself. 171 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 4: Greater is coming. First Samuel, chapter thirty. David and his 172 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 4: six hundred men had been out protecting the borders of Israel. 173 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 4: When they were returning home three days later, they noticed 174 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 4: smoke billowing in the sky. It looked like it was 175 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 4: coming from their city. I can imagine they started walking faster, 176 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 4: wondering what was going on. When they arrived home, their 177 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 4: worst fears came to pass. The Amalekites had come in 178 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 4: and raided their city. They burned down all the homes, 179 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 4: kidnapped all their wives and children, and took all of 180 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 4: their possessions. Here, David was out doing the right thing, 181 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 4: and the wrong thing happened. Didn't seem fair. But just 182 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 4: because you have trouble doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. 183 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 4: Sometimes when you're doing right, you will face difficulties forces 184 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 4: trying to keep you from your destiny. But when you 185 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 4: understand this principle that every setback is a setup for 186 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 4: God to take you further. That the suffering is putting 187 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 4: you in position for greater honor. Then you won't fall 188 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 4: apart when you have a bad break. You won't live 189 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 4: bitter because you had an unexpected challenge. You'll stay in faith, 190 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 4: knowing that the enemy wouldn't be trying to stop you 191 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 4: if he didn't know something amazing was in your future. 192 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 4: David and his men were very discouraged. They wept until 193 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 4: they could not weep anymore. If that wasn't bad enough, 194 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 4: David's men were so distraught about losing their wives and 195 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 4: children they talked about stoning David. David could have sat 196 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 4: around in self pity depressed. Instead, the scripture says, David 197 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 4: begin to encourage himself in the Lord, his God. Maybe 198 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 4: that's where he wrote, I will bless the Lord at 199 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 4: all times. His praise will continually be in my mouth. 200 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 4: Maybe sitting in those ashes, he wrote, surely goodness and 201 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 4: mercy will follow me all the days of my life. 202 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 4: Instead of complaining, he was thanking God that he was 203 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 4: still on the throne. Sometimes you won't be able to 204 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 4: find anyone else to encourage you. Your friends are busy 205 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 4: your pastor's on vacation, your church is closed because of 206 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 4: the virus. You can't find me on television. That's God 207 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 4: letting you know. You have to encourage yourself. You have 208 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 4: to dig down deep and say, I am not going 209 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 4: to let this bad break, this disappointment, this injustice steal 210 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 4: my joy and sour my life. God, I thank you 211 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 4: that you are bigger than this sickness, greater than this depression, 212 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 4: more powerful than this opposition. I know you being for 213 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 4: me is more than the world being against me. You 214 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 4: have to stir up your prayer, stir up your faith, 215 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 4: start speaking victory over your life. Start thanking God that 216 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 4: he's fighting your battles, that this too shall pass, that 217 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 4: greater is coming. David prayed and asked if he should 218 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 4: go after the enemy. God said in verse eight, yes, 219 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 4: go after them. You will surely recover everything that was 220 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 4: taken from you. You may be in a difficult time. 221 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 4: You've lost some things, lost your health, lost your joy, 222 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 4: lost your dreams. God is saying, if you'll get your 223 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 4: fire back and start moving forward, you will surely recover 224 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 4: everything that you've lost. The enemy may be laughing now, 225 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 4: but you're going to have the last laugh. God has 226 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 4: the final say. He saw the injustice, he saw who 227 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 4: did you wrong, what you didn't get, what was taken 228 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 4: from you. He's saying, get ready, everything is coming back. 229 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 4: Your health, your children, your finance, it says, your joy, 230 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 4: your dreams not maybe not. There's a good chance surely 231 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 4: you will recover everything. Surely means without a doubt, you 232 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 4: can count on it. God used the word surely, not 233 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 4: for him, but for us. He's saying, be confident. It's 234 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 4: all coming back. David and his men left the camp 235 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 4: and headed out. They didn't really know where to go. 236 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 4: When it just so happened, they came across a servant 237 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 4: of one of the Amalekites. This young man had been 238 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 4: sick and not able to travel, so they left him behind. 239 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 4: David gave him food and water. He promised that if 240 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 4: he would lead them to the Amalekites, he would spare 241 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 4: his life. This young man took them right to the 242 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 4: enemy's camp. When you get your passion back and go 243 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 4: after what belongs to you, God will have the right 244 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 4: people in your path to help you. He'll have divine connections, 245 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 4: people that will use their ex experience, their expertise to 246 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 4: take you where you couldn't go on your own. When 247 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 4: David showed up, the Amountakites were having a big party, 248 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 4: celebrating their victory, dancing, eating, drinking. I've learned sometimes the 249 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 4: enemy celebrates too soon. He doesn't realize you were down 250 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 4: but not out. You had a setback, but it was 251 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 4: really setting you up. He thought because of that disappointment, 252 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 4: you would be sour, give up on your dreams. He 253 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 4: thought that setback would cause you to keep sitting in 254 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 4: the ashes, defeated, depressed. He never dreamed you would encourage yourself. 255 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 4: He never dreamed when you got knocked down you'd get 256 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 4: back up again. He never dreamed instead of complaining, you 257 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 4: would start praising. He may be celebrating now, but don't worry. 258 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 4: Your time is coming right now. God is arranging things 259 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 4: in your favor. He is lining up the breaks you need. 260 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 4: He is pushing back forces of darkness. Things are happening 261 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 4: that you cannot see. And if you will keep moving 262 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 4: forward in faith, you are going to come in to 263 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 4: unuse your favor, breakthroughs, healing victories, things that you couldn't 264 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 4: make happen on your own. David and his men went 265 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 4: in and attacked the Amalekites. They wiped them all out. 266 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 4: Nobody was left in the camp. Verse eighteen says David 267 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 4: got everything back that the Amalekites had taken. They rescued 268 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 4: their wives and children. Nothing was missing, small or great, 269 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 4: son or daughter. David brought everything back. You may feel 270 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 4: like you've lost some things that loved one that didn't 271 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 4: make it seems like they took a part of you 272 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 4: with them. You don't have the joy you used to have, 273 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 4: or you've struggled with that addiction so long you've lost 274 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 4: the desire to fight. But God is going to do 275 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 4: for you what he did David. One day you're going 276 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 4: to say nothing is missing. I got my dreams back, 277 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 4: I got my health back, got my children back, I 278 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 4: got my joy back. God is not going to bring 279 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 4: you out partially where you get most of what you lost. 280 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 4: God doesn't do things halfway. Nothing is going to be missing. 281 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 4: It was a great victory that David got everything back, 282 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 4: but God doesn't bring you out the same when you 283 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 4: go through suffering. Greater is coming. Verse twenty says David's 284 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 4: men rounded up all the Amalekites, flocks and herds, all 285 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 4: their possessions. These belong to them as their reward. There 286 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 4: is a reward for going through difficulties with a good attitude. 287 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 4: We would be grateful if God just brought us back 288 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 4: to where we were. But when you go through challenges 289 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,479 Speaker 4: in an attitude of faith, with your head held high, 290 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 4: knowing that God is fighting your battles, then a reward 291 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 4: is coming. You're not going to just come out, You're 292 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 4: going to come out better than you were before. Back 293 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 4: in the nineteen fifties, my father had been pastoring a 294 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 4: church for many years. It had grown and become very successful. 295 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 4: They had just built a beautiful new sanctuary, and he 296 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 4: was on the state board for his denomination. His future 297 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 4: looked very bright. Then my sister Lisa was born with 298 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 4: something like cerebral palsy. The doctors told my parents that 299 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 4: she'd probably never be able to walk or to feed herself. 300 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 4: My father went to a hotel downtown to be alone 301 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 4: for a few days to study the scriptures in a 302 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 4: new way. He had been taught that God healed people 303 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 4: back in the Bible, but that had passed away. Then 304 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 4: he read the scripture Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, 305 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 4: and forever. He realized there never was a day of miracles. 306 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 4: But there's a God of miracles, and he's still alive. 307 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 4: He went back to his church with this new message 308 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 4: of faith and victory, healing abundance. He thought everybody would 309 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 4: be excited, but it was just the opposite. It didn't 310 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 4: fit into their tradition. There was so much opposition he 311 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 4: ended up having to leave the church. He was devastated. 312 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 4: He had spent years pouring his heart and soul into 313 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 4: those people. My mother was twenty six years old at 314 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 4: the time. She had lifelong friends that never spoke to 315 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 4: her again. But instead of sitting around bitter frustrated over 316 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 4: what didn't work out, my parents went out and started Lakewood. 317 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 4: They found an old feed store, had holes in the 318 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 4: floor and cracks in the walls. They cleaned it up 319 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 4: and ninety people showed up the first Sunday. Here my 320 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 4: father went from the big, prestigious church with the beautiful 321 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 4: new auditorium to this little, run down wood building with 322 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 4: a fraction of the people. Year after year, he kept 323 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 4: being his best, pouring his heart into them, not listening 324 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 4: to the critics and naysayers. The opposition said Lakewood would 325 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 4: never last, that my father was wasting his time, But 326 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 4: when you go through much suffering, God gives you a 327 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 4: promise that greater honor is coming, greater favor, greater influence. 328 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 4: Against all odds, my sister Lisa begin to get better 329 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 4: and better. Today she's perfectly normal, eighty seven years old, 330 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 4: doing fine. The nineteen seventy two Lakewood begin to grow. 331 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 4: People started coming from all over the city. It kept 332 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 4: growing and growing, and here we are sixty one years later, 333 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 4: still going strong. But we all have unfair things that happen, 334 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 4: people that come against us, rejection, betrayals, sicknesses. It's tempting 335 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 4: to get discouraged. God, why did this happen? Why did 336 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 4: these people push me out? Why was my daughter born 337 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 4: with this illness? But some things we're never going to understand. 338 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 4: Don't try to figure out all the wives of life. 339 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 4: All that's going to do is frustrate you. The good 340 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 4: news is God knows how to work all things for 341 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 4: your good. It may not be good, but He knows 342 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 4: how to turn it for good. The key is to 343 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 4: go through the suffering with the right attitude, knowing that 344 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 4: greater is coming. May not happen on your timetable, but 345 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 4: God is faithful. He sees you doing the right thing 346 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 4: when the wrong thing is happening, being the bigger person, 347 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 4: overlooking the insults. He sees you being your best at 348 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 4: work when they're not giving you the credit. Like with 349 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 4: my father. Your time is coming. You're going to see 350 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 4: the hand of God take you where you can't go 351 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 4: on your own. The people that tried to push you down. 352 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 4: Don't worry. God is preparing a table for you in 353 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 4: the presence of your enemies. That means they will see 354 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 4: you promoted, honored, in a position of influence. That health 355 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 4: issue that you've been fighting through with a good attitude, 356 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 4: still giving God praise, still being good to others, that 357 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 4: hasn't gone unnoticed. You've been through the suffering. Now get ready. 358 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 4: The greater is coming. Greater health, greater victories, greater breakthroughs, 359 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 4: greater freedom. In Genesis twenty nine, there's the story of 360 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 4: two sisters, Rachel and Leah. When a young man named 361 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 4: Jacob saw Rachel, it was love at first sight. He 362 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 4: fell head over heels for her. You see, Rachel was 363 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 4: extremely attractive. The scripture says she was beautiful in every way, 364 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 4: with a lovely face and a shapely figure. Let me 365 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 4: tell you, when God says you're fine. You know you're fine. 366 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 4: Rachel had it going on. Jacob asked her father Laban 367 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 4: if he could marry her. Laban said he could if 368 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 4: he would work for him for seven years. Jacob worked 369 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 4: faithfully though seven years, but Laban didn't keep his word. 370 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 4: He tricked at Jacob at the wedding. In those days, 371 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 4: the bride wore a very thick veil. You couldn't really 372 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 4: tell who was in there. Jacob assumed it was Rachel. 373 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 4: Instead it was Leah. Well, the scripture says Leah had 374 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 4: weak eyes and was doll looking. I don't know what 375 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 4: weak eyes mean, but I know what doll looking is. 376 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 4: I have a brother named Paul. Laban made sure at 377 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 4: the wedding that Jacob had way too much to drink. 378 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 4: The next morning, when Jacob woke up, he saw weak 379 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 4: eyes staring back at him. He nearly passed out. He 380 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 4: ran to Laban, what in the world are you doing. 381 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 4: You know our agreement was for Rachel and not Leah. 382 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 4: Laban said, yes, I know, but our tradition says we 383 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 4: have to marry the oldest daughter first, work for me 384 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 4: another seven years, then you can have Rachel. Jacob was 385 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 4: so dumb I mean so in love. He worked another 386 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 4: seven years and finally married Rachel too, But that whole time, 387 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 4: Jacob never really loved Leah. His attention was only focused 388 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 4: on Rachel. Rachel was barren, she couldn't have children, but 389 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 4: Leah gave him son after son, hoping that would win 390 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 4: his affection. But still nothing changed, and eventually Rachel gave 391 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 4: birth to two sons, Joseph and Benjamin. But all this 392 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 4: time Leo was in a loveless marriage, feeling unwanted, second choice, marginalized. 393 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 4: I'm sure she was tempted to have low self esteem, 394 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 4: to not feel good about who she was, but God 395 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 4: sees when you're being overlooked, pushed down, discounted. Leah could 396 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 4: have lived bitter, angry. Instead, she kept suffering in silence, 397 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 4: doing the right thing with a good attitude. When it 398 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 4: came time for God to choose a family line to 399 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 4: bring Jesus through, he didn't choose one of Rachel's sons, 400 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 4: the favorite wife. He didn't choose Joseph, whom we read 401 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 4: so much about. He didn't choose Benjamin. He chose Leah's son, Judah. 402 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 4: Jesus came through the tribe of Judah, all of Leah's 403 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 4: sons became founders of six of the twelve tribes of Israel. 404 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 4: What am I saying? Even when people dishonor you, don't worry. 405 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 4: God knows how to honor you. God knows how to 406 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 4: cause you to shine. People may try to discount you 407 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 4: and push you down, but you are not who people 408 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 4: say you are. You are who God says you are. 409 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 4: God calls you a masterpiece. He calls you fearfully and 410 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 4: wonderfully made. You have royal blood flowing through your veins. 411 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 4: He's crowned you with his favor. Yes, there are times 412 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 4: like Leah, you have to suffer in silence. Do the 413 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 4: right thing when it's not fair, work hard when you're 414 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 4: not getting the credit, Be good to someone that's not 415 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 4: being good to you. But know this, God is keeping 416 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 4: the records. When you suffer much, you have a promise 417 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 4: that greater honor is coming. Those that discount you now 418 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 4: one day they'll look up to you. Those that don't 419 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 4: give you the time of day, one day they'll want 420 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 4: your attention. God knows how to pay you back. When 421 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 4: it's difficult, keep this phrase in your spirit. Greater is coming, 422 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 4: That challenge is not there to stop you. It's there 423 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 4: to promote you. You may have lost some things in 424 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 4: the past, you think that it could never happen. Now 425 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 4: they'll get ready. This is a new day. Things are 426 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 4: shifting in your favor. God is saying to you what 427 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 4: he said to David. You're going to get everything back. 428 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 4: Your health is coming, your dreams are coming, your children, 429 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 4: your finances, your joy. I believe and declare nothing is 430 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 4: going to be missing, large or small in Jesus' name, 431 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 4: And if you receive it, can you say amen? Today? Well, 432 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 4: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 433 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 4: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 434 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 4: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come 435 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 4: into my heart. I'll make you my lord and savior. Well, 436 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 4: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 437 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 4: born again.
