And I like 47 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 5: to start with something funny and I heard about this 48 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 5: old country farmer. He was taking his nephew camping for 49 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 5: the first time. His nephew had five degrees, was one 50 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 5: of the smartest men alive. They set their tent up 51 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 5: and quickly fell asleep. In the middle of the night, 52 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 5: the farmer woke his nephew up and said, look up. 53 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 5: What do you see? He said, I see millions of stars. 54 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 5: Farmer said, I know that, But what does it tell you? 55 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 5: He said? Astronomically it tells me there are billions of galaxies. Meteorologically, 56 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 5: it tells me it's going to be a beautiful day. 57 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 5: Theologically it tells me God's a great creator. What does 58 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 5: it tell you? Old farmer shook his head and said, 59 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 5: tells me. Somebody stole our tent. Hold up your Bible, 60 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 5: say it you mean it. This is my Bible. I 61 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 5: am what it says. 62 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 4: I am. 63 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 64 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 65 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 5: talked the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 66 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 67 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 68 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 5: to talk to you today about a nevertheless person we 69 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 5: all face situations that seem impossible. We don't see how 70 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 5: we could ever accomplish a dream or get the break 71 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 5: we need, meet the right person in the natural. We 72 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 5: feel stuck. Maybe the medical report says you're not going 73 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 5: to get better, or you raised a child in church 74 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 5: and now they're off course not interested in doing what's right. 75 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 5: Or in our careers, we gave it our best effort, 76 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 5: we worked hard, took the extra training, but now we've 77 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 5: peaked gone as far as our education allows. What do 78 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 5: you do when you've done the right thing but it 79 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 5: hasn't worked out. You're standing on God's promises, believing that 80 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 5: he's restoring health, that your lend did not borrow, that'll 81 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 5: give you the desires of your heart. But every circumstance 82 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 5: looks like it's not going to happen. Your logic, your 83 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 5: reasoning tells you forget it. It's not going to work out. 84 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 5: It's not your lot in life. It's easy to get 85 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 5: discouraged and give up on what we're believing. For this 86 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 5: is where Peter was in Luke chapter five. He'd been 87 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 5: out fishing all night and caught nothing. He was an 88 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 5: experienced fisherman. He went to the places where he knew 89 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,239 Speaker 5: there will always fish. He tried again and again, hour 90 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 5: after hour, came up empty. They were fishing with large nets, 91 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 5: not just a few poles. You would have thought they 92 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 5: would have caught something, at least a few fish, even 93 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 5: if it wasn't the kind that they were looking for. 94 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 5: But Peter said, we've caught nothing. In other words, it 95 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 5: couldn't get in worse, they came up totally empty early 96 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 5: the next morning, after a long night of being in 97 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 5: the boat frustration. Nothing worked out. As they were coming 98 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 5: into the shore, they saw Jesus. Jesus asked Peter if 99 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 5: he could borrow his boat to teach people from the 100 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 5: beach in a few hours. When he was done, Jesus 101 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 5: told Peter to do something that seemed illogical, didn't make 102 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 5: sense to Peter's natural reasoning. Jesus said, Peter, go back 103 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 5: out into the waters, throw out your nets, and you 104 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 5: will catch a great haul of fish. You can imagine 105 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 5: how Peter must have felt. Are you kidding? Go back 106 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 5: out there again. We've been out all night, no fish, 107 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 5: you're biting. We're experts, we know what we're doing. Plus 108 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 5: it was morning. Now the fish go down deeper to 109 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 5: stay out of the daylight, every circumstance told Peter, don't 110 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 5: do it. It's going to be a waste of your time. 111 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 5: If Peter would have reasoned it out, only looked at 112 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 5: it logically, he would have talked himself out of it. 113 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 5: He could have told Jesus, I appreciate your suggestions, thank 114 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 5: you for your advice, but we're not going to do it. 115 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 5: It's not going to do any good. Instead, Peter did 116 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 5: something that we all must do if we're going to 117 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 5: see promises come to pass. He said, Jesus, we fished 118 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 5: all night and caught nothing. Nevertheless, at your word, we'll 119 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 5: go back and try again. He didn't deny the facts. 120 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 5: He was saying, in effect, the odds are against us. 121 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 5: It looks impossible. Nevertheless, because of what you say, I'm 122 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 5: going to do it. He went back out into the water, 123 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 5: threw out his nets and caught so many fish that 124 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 5: they begin to break. Practical people would have missed their miracle. 125 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 5: People that only look at things logically, realistically, statistically would 126 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 5: have talked themselves out of it. God is looking for, nevertheless, 127 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 5: people for people who say the medical report doesn't look good. Nevertheless, 128 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 5: God is restoring health back into men. My child is 129 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 5: still off course. Nevertheless, as for me and my house, 130 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 5: we will serve the lord. Business is slow. No Fish, 131 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 5: your body doesn't look like I could ever get out 132 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 5: of debt. Nevertheless, blessings are chasing me down. I will 133 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 5: lend and not borrow. Or maybe I've had this addiction 134 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 5: for years, gone through treatment, rehab, nothing has worked. I 135 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 5: should be discouraged, but I'm a never the less person. 136 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 5: I know freedom is in my future. I know one 137 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 5: touch of God's favor can turn it around. It may 138 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 5: not make sense to your logic in the natural. You 139 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 5: don't see how you could accomplish a dream, meet the 140 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 5: right person, see your family restored. You've given it, your 141 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 5: best efforts, exhausted, your resources became up empty. No Fish, 142 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 5: all the circumstances say it's not going to happen. You're 143 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 5: right where Peter was. You can either give up, get discouraged, 144 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 5: or you can dig your heels in and say it 145 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 5: looks impossible. The odds are against me. I tried and 146 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 5: it didn't work out. Nevertheless, I still believe. Nevertheless, I'm 147 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 5: gonna try again. Nevertheless, I'm gonna keep hoping, praying, expecting. Friends, 148 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 5: if you don't learn to become a nevertheless person. You 149 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 5: won't reach the fullness of your destiny because there will 150 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 5: be situations where there's no way out. The obstacle is 151 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 5: too big, the opponents are too strong. Without God's favor, 152 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 5: you'll get stuck. God puts us in these situations on purpose, 153 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 5: to where we come to the end of our ability. 154 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 5: There's nothing more we can do. This is what faith 155 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 5: is all about. If you can achieve it on your own, 156 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 5: you don't need God's help. But his dream for your 157 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 5: life is to take you further than you can imagine. 158 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 5: That's why he plants things in your heart that are 159 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 5: too big for you to accomplish on your own. It's 160 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 5: easy to think, man, I don't have the talent, the experience, 161 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 5: the connections, and too often we let this overwhelm us. 162 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 5: We get discouraged, thinking, man, I'm out of my league. 163 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 5: This is over my head. I'll never live in that 164 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 5: nice neighborhood. I don't have the funds. I'll never get well, Joel, 165 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 5: I've been sick for years. I'll never start my business, 166 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 5: write that book, build that orphanage. The odds are all 167 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 5: against me. Know you are exactly where God wants you. 168 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 5: He would not have put the dream in your heart 169 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 5: if he didn't already have a way to bring it 170 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 5: to pass. Your attitude should be it may be big. Nevertheless, 171 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 5: with God, all things are possible. I may not have 172 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 5: the connections. Nevertheless, I know friends in high places. I 173 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 5: tried and it didn't work out. Nevertheless, what God started 174 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 5: in my life, he will finish all through the scripture 175 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 5: we see Nevertheless, people, when David went out to face Goliath, 176 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 5: he was a teenager taking care of his father's sheep. 177 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 5: He didn't have any military training, any experience, any armor. 178 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 5: Goliath was twice his size, a skilled warrior. David could 179 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 5: have looked at it only in the natural and gotten depressed. 180 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 5: But David was a nevertheless person. He thought, all I 181 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 5: have is this slingshot and a few stones. This giant 182 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 5: is much bigger, much stronger. Nevertheless, if God be for me, 183 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 5: who dare be against me? David didn't just stop with 184 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 5: the facts. If he would have, he would have talked 185 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 5: himself out of it. The key is you have to 186 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 5: add the Nevertheless, you may have the facts. The medical 187 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 5: report may say you're not going to get well. That's fine. 188 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 5: I'm not asking you to deny the facts. I'm asking 189 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 5: you to add the Nevertheless, these giants look huge. Nevertheless, 190 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 5: my God is much bigger. Medical report says I'm done. Nevertheless, 191 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 5: nothing can snatch me out of God's hands. I've been 192 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 5: single a long time. I don't think I'll ever meet 193 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 5: the right person. Nevertheless, I know a divine connection is 194 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 5: headed my way. Or perhaps the specialists, the experts, say 195 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 5: that my spouse and I can ever have a child. Nevertheless, 196 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 5: I believe there's a baby that already has my name 197 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 5: on them. This is what Abraham did. God gave him 198 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 5: the promise that he and his wife Sarah would have 199 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 5: a baby in the natural. They were way too old. 200 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 5: Sarah had already gone through the change of life. This 201 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 5: would defy the laws of nature. In fact, when Abraham 202 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 5: told her what God said, the scripture says that Sarah laughed. 203 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 5: It was so far out in her mind. She thought 204 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 5: it was funny. She said, Oh, yeah, right, Abraham, you 205 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 5: and me have a baby. I don't think so. We're 206 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 5: way too old. Has God ever put something in your 207 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 5: heart so big? Seems so unlikely Your first thought was 208 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 5: to laugh. He whispers in your spirit. One day you're 209 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 5: gonna live in that nice neighborhood. You're gonna lead your 210 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 5: company in sales. You're gonna write that best selling book. 211 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 5: You're gonna see your whole family come to know the Lord. 212 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 5: You're gonna marry somebody fantastic. On the surface, it seems 213 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 5: so far out, we think, Oh, yeah, right, that could 214 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 5: never happen. When Abraham heard Sarah laughing, he could have 215 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 5: gotten discouraged. Thought, yeah right, what was I thinking. Let 216 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 5: me come back to reality. Man, I'm way too old. 217 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 5: If he would have looked at it only logically, practically, realistically, 218 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 5: he would have given up. Abraham did what we all 219 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 5: must do to see that promise come to pass. He 220 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 5: added the nevertheless, Yes, I'm too old. Nevertheless, God can 221 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 5: make a way. Yes, it's impossible. Nevertheless, God can do 222 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 5: the impossible. Yes, it defies the laws of nature. Nevertheless, 223 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 5: God supersedes the laws of nature. Whatever looks impossible in 224 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 5: your life, start adding the nevertheless. Those thoughts make you 225 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 5: feel man, I'm too small to ever get chosen for 226 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 5: that lead role. Nevertheless, God's favor is shining down on me. 227 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 5: I don't have the strength, the talent, the experience for 228 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 5: that promotion. Nevertheless, God's causing me to stand out, or Joel, 229 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 5: I don't have the funds, the resources to go to college. Nevertheless, 230 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 5: God can open doors that no man can shut. I 231 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 5: know a young man he had a dream to play 232 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 5: baseball in college. He lived way out in the country 233 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 5: and he was the star player on his high school team, 234 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 5: but there wasn't a lot of competition in that division. 235 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 5: Different scouts have come to see him play, but they 236 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 5: all told him he wasn't big enough to play at 237 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 5: a major university. He had an offer from a small 238 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 5: private school. While he was grateful, he knew he had 239 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 5: something bigger in his heart. He was invited to go 240 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 5: try out at this large college. There were other players 241 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 5: there from big cities, big programs. They were bigger, stronger, 242 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 5: had more experience. But when he stepped up to bat 243 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 5: in front of the coaches, all the scouts, the pressure 244 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 5: was on. He said, Joel, it was like something came 245 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 5: all over me, and I felt like I was ten 246 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 5: feet tall. He hit the ball harder, further more consistently 247 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 5: than all those top prospects. Out of several hundred young 248 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 5: men that tried out to walk on the team that day, 249 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 5: he was the only one chosen to make the team. 250 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 5: He was given a full four year scholarship went on 251 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 5: to have a great college career. The odds made be 252 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 5: against you. You don't think you have the talent, the experience, 253 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 5: the connections. Neither did David. Don't talk yourself out of 254 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 5: what God put in your heart. Start adding the nevertheless. God, 255 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 5: don't have the size. Nevertheless, you can get me to 256 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 5: where I'm supposed to be. I don't have the strength 257 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 5: of talent. Nevertheless, I know your favor surrounds me like 258 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 5: a shield. When you add the nevertheless, that's what allows 259 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 5: God to do amazing things. But too many people, instead 260 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 5: of having this nevertheless mentality, they have a no way mentality. 261 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 5: No way I can get out of debt, Joel, I'm 262 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 5: too far down in the hall. No way I'll break 263 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 5: this addiction. I've had it for so many years. No 264 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 5: way I'll be successful. I come from the wrong family. 265 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 5: You are prophesying your future. If you think it's impossible, 266 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 5: it becomes impossible. God is not looking for no way people. 267 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 5: He's looking for nevertheless people, for people who's say, I 268 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 5: don't see how I could ever get out of this problem. Nevertheless, 269 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 5: God always causes me to triumph. This legal situation looks 270 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 5: like it's going to be the end of me. Nevertheless, 271 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 5: no weapon formed against me were prospering. My dreams are 272 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 5: taking a lot longer than I thought. Nevertheless, what God 273 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 5: started in my life, he'll bring to completion. Shake off 274 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 5: the no way mentality, have this nevertheless mentality. In the 275 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 5: Old Testament, the Israelites were camped right next door to 276 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 5: the Promised Land. God had brought them out of slavery, 277 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 5: parted the Red Sea, gave them food and water in 278 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 5: the wilderness. They'd seen these great miracles. Now they finally 279 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 5: made it to the Promised Land. They were right next door. 280 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 5: Moses sent twelve men in despy out the land to 281 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 5: see what it was like. Ten of those men came 282 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 5: back and said, Moses, we don't have a chance. There 283 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 5: are giants in the land. The people are huge. We 284 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 5: felt like we were grasshoppers compared to them. When they 285 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 5: saw how big their opponents were, how impossible it looked, 286 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 5: they made the mistake that many of us make today. 287 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 5: They stopped right where they were. They thought, you can't 288 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 5: argue with the facts, you can't deny these people are bigger, stronger, 289 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 5: more experienced. They looked at it only logically realistically and 290 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 5: talked themselves out of it. They had a no way mentality. 291 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 5: That group of two million people never did make it 292 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 5: into the Promised Land. I wonder what would have happened 293 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 5: if they would have added the nevertheless. What if the 294 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 5: spies would have come back and said, Moses, the people 295 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 5: are huge. There are giants in the land. It looks impossible. Nevertheless, 296 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 5: we are well able. Nevertheless, we've been armed with strength 297 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 5: for this battle. Nevertheless, the forces that are for us 298 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 5: are greater than the forces that are against us. If 299 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,479 Speaker 5: they would have added the nevertheless, the same God that 300 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 5: parted the Red Sea, the same god that brought them 301 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 5: water out of a rock, the same God that cost 302 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 5: Pharaoh to let them go and gave them valuables on 303 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 5: the way out, that same God would have helped them 304 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 5: to defeat those giants. Instead of wandering around in the 305 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 5: desert for those forty years, they would have lived in 306 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 5: the Promised Land for forty years. Friends, don't let a 307 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 5: no way mentality keep you from God's best. It may 308 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 5: look impossible. I'm not asking you to deny it, just 309 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:45,239 Speaker 5: add the Nevertheless, these enemies look huge. Nevertheless, me and 310 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 5: God or a majority. This sickness looks permanent. Nevertheless, it's 311 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 5: only temporary. The number of my days God will fulfill. 312 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 5: I don't see how I could ever get out of 313 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 5: debt in the natural nevertheless, explosive blos or chasing me down, 314 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 5: or maybe I've been through a loss, a disappointment. Nevertheless, 315 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 5: I know God has beauty for these ashes. He can 316 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 5: turn mourning into dancing. Don't be a no way person, 317 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 5: be a neverthe less person. This means you choose to 318 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 5: believe even when the odds are against you. You stay 319 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 5: in faith even when it looks impossible. A few years 320 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 5: after Victoria and I were married, we moved out of 321 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 5: our townhouse into a very old rundown house that was 322 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 5: close in to the city. The house wasn't worth anything, 323 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 5: but it was on a half acre lot right across 324 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 5: the street from a nice neighborhood. Many times in the 325 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 5: evenings we would go out and take walks through the subdivision, 326 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 5: and one night, as we were walking, we came to 327 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 5: this big, two story house that was in the final 328 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 5: stages of construction. They were putting the finishing touches on it. 329 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 5: We walked up to it and the door was open, 330 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 5: so we went in. It was so magnificent. It had 331 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 5: high ceilings, big tall windows, It was so new, everything 332 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 5: was pristine. Here we were living in this sixty year 333 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 5: old house that had been run down, nobody had taken 334 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 5: care of. It had foundation problems, leaks in the ceiling. 335 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 5: We fixed it up so we could live in it. 336 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 5: But the contrast between our old, run down house and 337 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 5: this beautiful new house was, like my brother Paul to me, 338 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:36,239 Speaker 5: I mean, there was no comparison. As we were walking now, 339 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 5: you are not listening. As we were walking out of 340 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 5: the house that day, down the front sidewalk, twenty six 341 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 5: years old, in all of what we had just seen, 342 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 5: Victoria stopped, turned to me and said, Joel, one day, 343 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 5: we're going to live in a house just like this. 344 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 5: I looked at her like she had lost her mind. 345 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 5: I went on to tell her all the reasons we 346 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 5: were never going to live in a house like that. 347 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 5: I went down the list, Victoria, I worked for a ministry. 348 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 5: We're never gonna have those funds. We can barely afford 349 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 5: this sixty year old house with crooked floors. It's gonna 350 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 5: take us thirty years to pay it off. I was 351 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 5: passionate about my doubt. I wanted her to doubt with me. 352 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 5: I went on and on, but she no more paid 353 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 5: me attention. It was like I was talking to a tree. 354 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 5: She said, now, Joel, I can feel it right down 355 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 5: in here. One day we're going to live in a 356 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 5: house just like this one. The difference between her and 357 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 5: me is I saw the facts. I knew what we made. 358 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 5: I knew how impossible it was. I let the facts 359 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 5: taught me out of it. I had a no way mentality. 360 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 5: Victoria saw the same facts. She knew our same situation, 361 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 5: but she didn't stop with the facts. She added the Nevertheless. 362 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 5: Her attitude was yes, it's impossible right now. Nevertheless, with God, 363 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 5: all things are possible. She was saying, in the natural, 364 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 5: it's not going to happen. But we serve a supernatural God. 365 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 5: He knows how to open the windows of heaven. That's 366 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,479 Speaker 5: exactly what happened. About a year later, a builder knocked 367 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 5: on our door. We didn't go to him. He came 368 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 5: to us. We sold half of our property for more 369 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 5: than we paid for the whole thing. He built two 370 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 5: new houses on it, one for us. We ended up 371 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 5: living in a house just like the one we had seen. 372 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 5: Victoria barely let me come in there. I almost had 373 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 5: to live in the garage. Are you doing what I did, 374 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 5: letting the circumstances talk you out of God's best, talk 375 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 5: you out of being healthy, being free, being prosperous, being fulfilled. Well, Joel, 376 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 5: I've been single so long. I don't think I'll ever 377 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 5: meet the right person. Get rid of that no way mentality. 378 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 5: Turn it around. I've been single a long time, but 379 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 5: I know the right person is headed my way. Somebody 380 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 5: fine is in my future. Throw that in too. On paper, 381 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 5: it may look like you could never get out of debt. 382 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 5: Not asking you to deny it, I'm asking you to 383 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 5: add the Nevertheless, God, the numbers don't look good. Nevertheless, 384 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 5: I believe I will lend and not borrow. That I'm 385 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 5: coming into overflowing or I've had this addiction for years. 386 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 5: It looks permanent. Nevertheless, I know it's only temporary. I 387 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 5: know freedom, wholeness, victory is in my future. What's interesting 388 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 5: is Peter went back to the same place where he 389 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 5: had not caught any fish the whole night before. Suddenly 390 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 5: it was filled with fish. Sometimes we think, well, I've 391 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 5: tried once didn't work out, it's never gonna happen. How 392 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 5: do you know God hasn't put the fish for you 393 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 5: there now, don't give up and quit believing, go back 394 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 5: and try again. God controls the whole universe. May not 395 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 5: have happened yet, that doesn't mean it's not going to happen. 396 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 5: Just like with Peter, God has an abundance of what 397 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 5: you need waiting for you. You haven't missed it. It's 398 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 5: not too late. If you'll have this nevertheless mentality, God 399 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 5: will lead you into favor, into healing, into abundance, into 400 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 5: the fullness of your destiny. This is what happened to 401 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 5: a young lady named Elizabeth Blackwell. She lived back in 402 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,239 Speaker 5: the eighteen hundreds. She had a dream to become a 403 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 5: medical doctor. That was unheard of back then, there were 404 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 5: no female physicians. She applied at medical schools and was 405 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 5: turned down twenty nine times. Most people would have given up, thought, yeah, 406 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 5: I get the message, it's not meant for me. Not 407 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 5: Elizabeth Blackwell. She was a nevertheless person. She knew God 408 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 5: put the dream in her heart. He had the final say. 409 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 5: Every circumstance said it wasn't going to happen. Her attitude 410 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 5: was Nevertheless, I'm gonna keep trying. She applied to medical 411 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 5: school number thirty. This time the administration was faintly open 412 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 5: to it, but they had to get approval from the students. 413 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 5: When they told all the young men that a female 414 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 5: wanted to attend, they voted unanimously yes. They were thrilled. 415 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 5: She graduated from medical school and became the first female 416 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 5: physician in America. She went on to start the New 417 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 5: York Infirmary and later founded Women's Medical College. What am 418 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 5: I saying? Just because your fish weren't there the last 419 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 5: time doesn't mean they're not going to be there the 420 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 5: next time. You got to do like Elizabeth and say God, 421 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 5: the odds are against me. Everything says I'm done. I 422 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 5: tried and got turned down. Nevertheless, at your word, I'm 423 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 5: gonna keep believing. I'm gonna keep trying. When you're a 424 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 5: nevertheless person, God will get you to where you're supposed 425 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 5: to be. He'll bring the fear to you. David said 426 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 5: in Psalm three, Lord, how are they increased that trouble me? 427 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 5: He was saying, God, it looks like my enemies are multiplying. 428 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 5: David not only had other armies coming against him, but 429 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 5: his own son Absalom turned on him and was trying 430 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 5: to take the throne. David could have gotten discouraged and thought, 431 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 5: that's it. I can handle other people trying to stop me, 432 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 5: but now it's my own family. I'm done. This could 433 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 5: have been the point where David faded off into the 434 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 5: sunset and we don't read about him anymore. But David 435 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 5: didn't just talk about the problem. He stated the facts. 436 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 5: Then he took it one step further. Lord, how are 437 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 5: they increased? That troubled me? But you, o, Lord, are 438 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 5: a shield under me? Notice David added the Nevertheless, I'm 439 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 5: having a lot of trouble. Nevertheless, God is my shield. 440 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 5: What's the message? Don't let the enemy have the last word? 441 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 5: Always add the Nevertheless, the medical report doesn't look good. Nevertheless, 442 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 5: the Lord is my dealer. My coworkers did me wrong. Nevertheless, 443 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 5: God is fighting my battles. He's my vindicator. I went 444 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 5: through a bad break. Nevertheless, what's meant for my harm? 445 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 5: I know God will turn to my advantage for in 446 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 5: some of the things that have you worried right now, upset, discourage. 447 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 5: It would all change if you would start adding the nevertheless, 448 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 5: if you just stop with the facts at how impossible 449 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 5: it is. It's going to cause you to get discouraged 450 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 5: every time something negative happens, every bad break, disappoint but 451 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 5: delay answer back with a Nevertheless, you get stuck in traffic, 452 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 5: I should be upset. Nevertheless, I know God is directed 453 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 5: my steps. And when you face these situations that look 454 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 5: impossible we all do. Don't talk yourself out of it, 455 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 5: get rid of no waymnality, have this nevertheless mentality. If 456 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 5: you'll do this, I believe and declare. God is about 457 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 5: to turn some things around. He's about to open some 458 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 5: new doors.

And like Peter, 462 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 5: God's gonna bring the fish to you. An abundance of 463 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 5: what you need in Jesus' name if you receive it. 464 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 5: Can you say, a man today, we never like to 465 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 5: close our broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make 466 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 5: Jesus the lord of your life.
