We are praying for you and 49 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 4: your family for God's very best. I like to start 50 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 4: with something funny, and I heard about this minister. He 51 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 4: was driving down the road when he got pulled over 52 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 4: by a policeman. The officer came up to the window 53 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 4: and smelled alcohol. He saw a thermost and said, sir, 54 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 4: what are you drinking. The minister said, just water. Officer, 55 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 4: he asked to see the thermosts. He took one sniff 56 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 4: and said, it smells like wine to me. The minister said, 57 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 4: what do you know? Jesus did it again? Come on, 58 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 4: hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. 59 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 60 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 61 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 62 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 4: taught word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, 63 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 4: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 64 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 4: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 65 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 4: to you today about you have the cure. One of 66 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 4: the challenges we face with this coronavirus is there are 67 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 4: no antibodies. We've never seen this strain of virus, so 68 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 4: there is no remedy yet. Researchers are working tirelessly to 69 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 4: develop a vaccine. Most reports say it's going to take 70 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 4: about a year or more. Without a cure, we're at 71 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 4: the mercy of the virus. A friend of mine is 72 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 4: a physician that specializes in infectious disease. He said there 73 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 4: are diseases that he treated thirty years ago that he 74 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 4: doesn't see today because we found the antidote. Because vaccines 75 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 4: and antibodies were developed. What used to harm us doesn't 76 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 4: harm us anymore. Once you have the cure, you don't 77 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 4: have to be afraid of the disease. Well, what about 78 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 4: these viruses that you can't see with the microscope? Guilt, fear, depression, addictions. 79 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 4: Some viruses you can't treat with a physical vaccine. There 80 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 4: are poisons that can infect our thinking, our self esteem. 81 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 4: If we only had an antidote to deal with the 82 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,119 Speaker 4: guilt from our past mistakes, the times we failed didn't 83 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 4: make good decisions. Now we go around in regrets, down 84 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 4: on ourselves. If we only had the cure for the hurts, 85 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 4: the disappointments, the unfair childhood, now we're tempted to live bitter, insecure, 86 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: no passion. The good news is two thousand years ago 87 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 4: the antidote was developed for everything that will come against you. 88 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 4: Not by leading scientists, not by team of researchers, but 89 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 4: by the son of the living God. When Jesus went 90 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 4: to the cross, he took on our guilt, our shame, 91 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 4: our failures. He not only bore our sins, but he 92 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 4: took our sicknesses. Before he was crucified, he was beaten 93 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 4: with thirty nine stripes on his back. Studies tell us 94 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 4: there are thirty nine major categories of disease. He took 95 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 4: one stripe for each one. That's why it says by 96 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 4: his stripes you were healed. We are not at the 97 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 4: mercy of fear, depression, addictions. We have the cure. The 98 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 4: most tied God is breathing in our direction. Him being 99 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 4: for you is more than the world being against you. 100 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,119 Speaker 4: Don't let the fear, the guilt, the depression hold you down. 101 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 4: Take the antidote. Father, Thank you that I am forgiven, 102 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 4: I am redeemed, I am free, I am healthy and whole. 103 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 4: When thoughts tell you you're just average, there's nothing special 104 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 4: about you. If you dwell on that poison, it will 105 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 4: infect your thinking. You have to take your medicine. I 106 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 4: am fearfully and wonderfully made. I'm wearing a crown of favor. 107 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 4: I have royal blood flowing through my veins. Proverb says 108 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 4: God's word is like a medicine. When you meditate on it, 109 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 4: it brings healing and woldness. When thoughts whisper, you'll always 110 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 4: struggle in your finances. This slowdown is going to ruin 111 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 4: your business. Don't let that virus take root. Father, thank 112 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 4: you that the economy is not my source, but you 113 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 4: are my source. You said you would prosper me even 114 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 4: in the desert. You have the cure. Now make sure 115 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 4: that you're taking your medicine. One time, the Israelites had 116 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 4: turned against God and they started worshiping idols. They ended 117 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 4: up exiled from their own land and brought into captivity 118 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 4: in Babylon. It was their own fault. They had brought 119 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 4: the trouble on themselves. The prophet Jeremiah was very discouraged. 120 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 4: He asked, is there no bomb in Gilead? Is there 121 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 4: no physician that can help us? He was saying, God, 122 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 4: is there no cure? Is there no remedy from this 123 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 4: virus that we've let infect us. He likened it to 124 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 4: be in bit by poisonous snakes. The truth is we've 125 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 4: all been bitten by something, bitten by guilt, bitten by fear, 126 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 4: bitten by rejection. How do we deal with the venom? 127 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 4: How do we get rid of the poison and not 128 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 4: let it stop our destiny? I read about how they 129 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 4: develop anti venom for snake bites years ago. After much research, 130 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 4: scientists took some of the poisonous venom from the snake 131 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 4: and injected it into horses. The horse would naturally develop 132 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 4: antibodies that they could then remove and use it as 133 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 4: serum for someone that was bitten by a snake. But 134 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 4: over time they realized the anti venom from the blood 135 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 4: of horses wasn't working fast enough in people. Many were 136 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 4: losing their lives. They needed an anti venom that was 137 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 4: more powerful, more affected. They tested many animals and finally 138 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 4: discovered that the blood of a lamb produced the most 139 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 4: effective anti venom, unlike the blood of a horse. When 140 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,119 Speaker 4: the sheep was injected with the poisonous venom, the antibodies 141 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 4: it created weren't much faster in people, and produced a 142 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 4: much stronger and more powerful anti venom. A few years ago, 143 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 4: they discovered that sheep in South Australia produced some of 144 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 4: the most effective antibody than anywhere in the world. It's 145 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 4: because those sheep are in a pristine environment where they 146 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 4: are free from disease that typically affect other sheep. And 147 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 4: the fact that these sheep are so healthy and have 148 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,119 Speaker 4: such pure blood. That's why they create the most powerful 149 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 4: anti venom. Think back to the Garden of Eden. That's 150 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 4: the first time we see a poisonous snake. The enemy 151 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 4: is called a serpent. He bit Adam and Eve, not physically, 152 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 4: but in their thinking. He deceived them and they became poisoned. 153 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 4: They ate the forbidden fruit. They did wrong and opened 154 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 4: the door to trouble. All of a sudden, they were afraid. 155 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 4: They realized they were naked. They ran and hid. Fear 156 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: came in, guilt, shame, heartache. God had to come up 157 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 4: with a plan to deal with the venom that had 158 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 4: poisoned mankind. He needed to create an anti venom, but 159 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 4: it had to be something incredibly powerful. That meant it 160 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 4: had to come from the purest blood, the most effective source. 161 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 4: God didn't choose the blood of a horse. He didn't 162 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 4: choose the blood of a goat. He didn't choose the 163 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 4: blood of another animal. This time he chose the blood 164 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 4: of his only son. The first time John the Baptist 165 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 4: saw Jesus, he said, behold the lamb of God who 166 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 4: takes away the sin of the world. Jesus wasn't just 167 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 4: any lamb. He was the sinless, spotless lamb of God. 168 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 4: That's why his anti venom is more powerful than any 169 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 4: poison that comes against you. The enemy will try to 170 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 4: poison you with doubt. It's never going to work out. 171 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 4: Poison you with fear. What if you catch that virus, 172 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 4: poison you with insecurity. You're not good enough. Nobody wants 173 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 4: to be around you. That poison cannot keep you from 174 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 4: your destiny. It is no match for the anti venom 175 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 4: created by the most High God. Now quit telling yourself 176 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 4: you've made too many mistakes, living guilty, condemned. Take your antibody. Father. 177 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 4: Thank you that your mercy is bigger than my mistakes. 178 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 4: Thank you that what you started in my life you 179 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 4: will finish. You have to receive God's mercy and move forward. 180 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 4: You can't reach your destiny if you're always looking back. 181 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 4: Nothing you've done is a surprise to God. He knew 182 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 4: every mistake you would make, every failure. You can still 183 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 4: get to where you're supposed to be, but you have 184 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 4: to shake off the guilt and move ahead. When you're 185 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 4: dealing with fear, depression, anxiety, don't just accept it. Think 186 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 4: I'll always struggle in this area. Take your medicine. Father, 187 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 4: Thank you that I am free. I have the mind 188 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 4: of Christ. I have peace that passes understanding. Lies will 189 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 4: tell you what you're dealing with is permanent. There's no solution. 190 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 4: You'll never get well, never break the addiction. Just say 191 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 4: no thanks. I know the blood of the lamb is 192 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 4: more powerful than the venom of any snake. Yes, there 193 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 4: are times that we get bid. Things happen we didn't 194 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 4: see coming. But you have to remind yourself. God is 195 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 4: not up in heaven looking for a cure, hoping that 196 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 4: virus doesn't defeat you, trying to figure out what he's 197 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 4: going to do. He's already created the cure two thousand 198 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 4: years ago. He defeated the enemy once and for all. 199 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 4: The scripture says he rendered him powerless. One version says 200 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 4: he brought him to naught. Means zero. The enemy has 201 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 4: no power over you. He can't keep you from your purpose. 202 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 4: The only way he can stop you is if you 203 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 4: start believing his lies. God's not going to bless you. 204 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 4: Look at the mistakes you've made. You'll never accomplish your dreams. 205 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 4: You've had too many bad breaks. Don't let that poison 206 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 4: keep you from the awesome future God has in store. 207 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 4: Start taking the anti venom. God hasn't brought you this 208 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 4: far to leave you. Just because you don't see away 209 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 4: doesn't mean God doesn't have a way Right now. He's 210 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 4: working behind the scenes in your life. You wouldn't be 211 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 4: alive if he didn't have something amazing in front of you. 212 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 4: Why do you think the enemy's trying to stop you. 213 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 4: He doesn't bother people that are not a threat. He 214 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 4: wouldn't waste his time on you if he didn't know 215 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 4: you were a world changer, a history maker, that you 216 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 4: have seeds of greatness. He knows God is about to 217 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 4: open doors bigger than you've dreamed. You're about to step 218 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 4: into new levels of your destiny. Now, don't be surprised 219 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 4: if you get a few snake bites, so to speak. 220 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 4: A friend walks away the company doesn't need you anymore, 221 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 4: and unexpected illness, that poison can cause you to get infected, 222 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 4: live worried, give up on your dreams, or you can 223 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 4: take that anti venom. God. I know you're still on 224 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 4: the throne. I know no weapon formed against me is 225 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 4: going to prosper. I'm not going to just come out. 226 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 4: I'm going to come out better than I was before. 227 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 4: There was a young lady that lost her father to 228 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 4: an illness. They were very close and spent a lot 229 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 4: of time together. She was so devastated and so heartbroken. 230 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 4: She had been bit, so to speak, by something she 231 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 4: never saw coming. She could have become bitter, sour let 232 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 4: that poison the rest of her life, but she believed 233 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 4: God was still in control. It wasn't easy, but she 234 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 4: kept moving forward. When you go through loss and things 235 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 4: that kind of knocked the wind out of you, it's 236 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 4: tempting to give up on life. Think you've seen your 237 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 4: best days. That's when you have to dig down deep 238 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 4: and say, Father, thank you that you have beauty for 239 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 4: these ashes. You said, weeping endors for a night, but 240 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 4: joy comes in the morning. Lord, thank you that there 241 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 4: are good days up ahead. Every day you make this 242 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 4: choice to stay in faith, to have a good attitude 243 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 4: when it's not fair to believe when nothing is improving, 244 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 4: you can't see it. But God is working behind the scenes. 245 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 4: He's making things happen that you couldn't make happen. As 246 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 4: a part of the healing process. Every day, this young 247 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 4: lady texted her father's number and told what went on 248 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 4: that day and what she was feeling. It was her 249 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 4: way of staying close to her father. She told him 250 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 4: how she had overcome cancer, how she had finished college 251 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 4: and graduated with honors. Not just the good things. She 252 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 4: texted about the boyfriend that broke her heart, some of 253 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 4: the other challenges she had faced. All the while, she 254 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 4: thought she was doing this just to help her heal, 255 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 4: to help her move forward. But on the fourth anniversary 256 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 4: of her father's death, the young lady received a response 257 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 4: from the number she had been texting. She thought it 258 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 4: was no longer working, but the text said, my name 259 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 4: is Brad. Three years ago I lost my daughter in 260 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 4: a car accident. Your text every day have been what's 261 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 4: keeping me going. He went on to tell her how 262 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 4: proud he was of her, how proud her father would be. 263 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 4: The young lady said that was her sign that everything 264 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 4: was okay, that she could let her father rest in peace. Today, 265 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 4: she's moving forward and doing great things. When life throws 266 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 4: us occurred, it's easy to take the venom, go around poisoned, 267 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 4: put the chip on her shoulder. If you'll keep moving forward, 268 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 4: God will give you beauty for those ashes. He didn't 269 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 4: bring you this far to leave you that loss, the disappointment, 270 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 4: the bad break didn't stop his plan. He has you 271 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 4: in the palm of his hand. There are great days 272 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 4: up ahead. Don't let that poison stay in you. Take 273 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 4: the anti venom. Believe that God is in control and 274 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 4: that your latter days will be better than your former days. 275 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 4: In numbers twenty one, the Israelites were in the desert, 276 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 4: headed toward the Promised Land. God had given them victory 277 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 4: over different armies, parted the Red Sea, freed them from slavery. 278 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 4: But they got tired of traveling through the desert. They 279 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 4: begin to complain and be disgruntled. They said, Moses, there's 280 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 4: nothing good to eat out here. We can't stand this 281 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 4: manna anymore. Why did you bring us to the desert 282 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 4: to die. Let's just go back to Egypt and be 283 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 4: slaves again. They started talking bad about Moses, stirring up trouble. 284 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 4: The scripture says, poisonous snake came into their camp, and 285 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 4: many of them were bitten and died. And after all 286 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 4: God has done for us, when we're at tempted to complain, 287 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 4: be discontent. That's shaky ground here. God was giving them 288 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 4: manna each morning, supernaturally providing food in the desert, but 289 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 4: they were finding fault. The next verse says they came 290 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 4: running back to Moses and said, Moses, we have sinned. 291 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 4: It's funny how quickly their attitude changed. Trouble has a 292 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 4: way of helping us have the right perspective. They went 293 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 4: on to say, Moses, please pray that God will take 294 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 4: away these snakes. One moment they were talking bad about Moses, 295 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 4: the next moment they were asking him to pray for them. 296 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 4: If you're going to be a leader, if God's going 297 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 4: to trust you with influence, sometimes you have to pray 298 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 4: for people who were criticizing you the day before. You 299 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 4: have to be good to someone that doesn't deserve your goodness. 300 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 4: I'm sure was tempted to say, yeah, I would love 301 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 4: to pray for you. God send more snakes, God get 302 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 4: rid of the rest of them. If you're going to 303 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 4: pass this test, you have to swallow your pride and 304 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 4: do the right thing, even though they don't deserve it. 305 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 4: It's interesting what God told Moses to do. He said, 306 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 4: make a bronze snake, put it up on a pole, 307 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 4: and everyone that looks up at that snake will be healed. 308 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 4: Why would he choose a snake, that's what they were 309 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 4: trying to get rid of. You would think God would say, 310 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 4: make a bronze down, or make a bronze ark of 311 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 4: the covenant. But God took the very thing that was 312 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 4: the problem and turned it into the solution. That's what 313 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 4: the scripture says. What the enemy meant for harm, God 314 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 4: turns to your advantage. The snakes didn't stop biting them, 315 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 4: they weren't free from trouble. But from then on, anyone 316 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 4: who looked up at that bronze snake was healed. Years later, 317 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 4: Jesus was talking to Nicodemus. He said, in John chapter three, 318 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 4: just as Moses lifted up the snake on a pole 319 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 4: in the wilderness, so I, the son of Man, will 320 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 4: be lifted up on a pole, and everyone that looks 321 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 4: up and believes in me will have eternal life. Moses 322 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 4: having the bronze snake on a pole was foreshadowing Jesus 323 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 4: dying on the cross. But the snake represents evil. Jesus 324 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 4: represents good. How could that be? Paul said in Second Corinthians, 325 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 4: Jesus became sin for us so that we could become 326 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 4: the righteousness of God. He became what he wasn't so 327 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 4: we could become who we were created to be. On 328 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 4: that cross, Jesus took all of our failures, all of 329 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,719 Speaker 4: our shame, our guilt. Now whoever looks up to the 330 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 4: sun and believes in him will live. My question is, 331 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 4: what are you looking at your circumstances? How big the 332 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 4: problem is? This virus has me so worried. You need 333 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 4: to look up. There's healing when you look up. There's 334 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 4: freedom when you look up. There's victory when you look up. 335 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 4: There's salvation when you look up. Don't go through life 336 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 4: looking down thinking this problem is too big. It's never 337 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 4: going to work out. I've been through too much. Get 338 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 4: a new perspective. The forces that are for you are 339 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 4: greater than the forces that are against you. You may 340 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 4: have been bitten by mistakes, bitten by divorce, bitten by hurts. 341 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 4: But that is not how your story ends. That poison 342 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 4: doesn't have the final say. God is saying, look up, 343 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 4: you haven't seen your best days. Healing is coming, promotion 344 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 4: is coming, The right people are coming. Well, Joel sounds good, 345 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 4: but I've made a lot of mistakes. Join the crowd 346 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 4: we all have. Look up, there's forgiveness. Look up, there's mercy. 347 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 4: Look up, there's another chance. Look up, there's a God 348 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 4: that doesn't give up on you. The scripture says, the 349 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 4: calling on your life is irrevocable. Well, I've gone through loss, 350 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 4: I've had bad breaks, my relationship didn't work out. Look up, 351 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 4: there are new beginnings. Look up. There are divine connections. 352 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 4: Look up, there is beauty for those ashes. After Jesus 353 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 4: was crucified, two women went to the tomb early Easter 354 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 4: morning to anoint his body. They noticed the huge stone 355 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 4: to the entrance was rolled away. They were puzzled. They 356 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 4: went in and saw a young man wearing a bright 357 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 4: white robe sitting next to where the body should be. 358 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 4: They didn't realize he was an angel. They stood there 359 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 4: in awe, knowing something special was happening. The angel said, 360 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 4: don't be amazed. You're looking for Jesus. He's not here. 361 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 4: He has risen. The angel was saying, in effect, you 362 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 4: have good intentions, but you're looking too low. You're looking 363 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 4: from a natural point of view. You need to look up. 364 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 4: What God is going to do in your life is 365 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 4: not going to be ordinary. It's not going to happen 366 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 4: like it happened for your relatives, those that you grew 367 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 4: up with. You're going to stand out. You're going to 368 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 4: break molds. You're going to set new standards. Where God 369 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 4: has taking you. No one in your family has gone now. 370 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 4: Don't have a small vision. Don't go around looking low, 371 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 4: thinking you've reached your limits. God is about to do 372 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 4: a new thing, something that you haven't seen. He's going 373 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 4: to open doors you never dream would open, take your 374 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 4: places that you couldn't go on your own. In Acts, 375 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 4: chapter twenty eight, the Apostle, Paul was a prisoner en 376 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 4: route to Rome to stand before Caesar. The boat he 377 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 4: was sailing on encountered a huge storm and broke apart. 378 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 4: He and the crew grabbed pieces of the boat and 379 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 4: swam to the shore. They were on a small island 380 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 4: named Malta. When Paul went to gather wood to build 381 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 4: a fire. A poisonous snake bit his arm. Here, Paul 382 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 4: had just survived a shipwrecked justified the odds now. The 383 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 4: first thing that happened was this venomous viper lashed to 384 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 4: his arm and released the poison. Paul didn't panic, he 385 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 4: didn't fall apart. He simply shook the snake off and 386 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 4: went about his business. Well, the local people knew exactly 387 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 4: what was going to happen. They had seen this again 388 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 4: and again. Paul was going to swell up, get sick, 389 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 4: and suddenly die. They thought, too bad, he'll be gone 390 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 4: in a little while. An hour went by, he was fine, 391 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 4: two hours nothing wrong, eight hours still healthy. First six says. 392 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 4: When they waited a long time and saw that no 393 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 4: harm came to him, they decided Paul was a god. 394 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 4: They weren't far off. He was a son of God. 395 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 4: And yes, there will be times we get bit in life, 396 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 4: bit by sickness, bit by divorce, bit by loss. Things 397 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 4: happen we didn't see coming. But like with Paul, that 398 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 4: poison is not going to have any effect on you. 399 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 4: You have the anti venom. What stops others is not 400 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 4: going to stop you. The most high God is pushing 401 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 4: back forces of darkness. He's ordering your steps, making cooking 402 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 4: places straight. What He's purpose for your life will come 403 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 4: to pass. The scripture says God destroyed the works of 404 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 4: the enemy. That were destroyed in the original language means 405 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 4: to not have its intended purpose. When the snake bites 406 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 4: and releases that venom, its purpose is to take you out. 407 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 4: You should swell up, get sick and die like everyone else. 408 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 4: But because God destroyed the works of the enemy, not 409 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 4: going to have its intended purpose. The sickness came to 410 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 4: my mother in nineteen eighty one. Its purpose was to 411 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 4: end her life, but it didn't have its intended purpose. 412 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 4: God has the final say. Nothing can snatch you out 413 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 4: of his hands. When my father went to be with 414 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 4: the Lord in nineteen ninety nine, the enemy intended for 415 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 4: Lakewood to go down, fade away, have no more impact, 416 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 4: But that loss didn't have its intended purpose. God had 417 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 4: another plan that we would expand reach more people, have 418 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 4: greater influence. Don't get discouraged when negative things come. We 419 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 4: can't pray away all the difficulties. But when you realize 420 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 4: it's not going to have its intended purpose, then you 421 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 4: can stay in faith. The divorce, that betrayal, that slow 422 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 4: down in the economy should sour your life. But it's 423 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 4: not going to be what it looks like. People are 424 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 4: going to look at you like they did Paul, and think, 425 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 4: how are they thriving when they should be surviving. How 426 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 4: is she so blessed after going through that rough childhood? 427 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 4: How is he still so strong, happy, successful after that 428 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 4: bad break in his business. It's because what the enemy's 429 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 4: sent to stop you is not going to have its 430 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 4: intended purpose. When that snake bites, don't panic, don't fall apart, 431 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 4: Just shake it off and keep moving forward. Keep thanking 432 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 4: God that he's fighting your battles, Keep thanking him that 433 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 4: what was meant for harm, he's turning to your advantage. 434 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 4: I read something interesting about a honey bee. It's one 435 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 4: of the few bees that when it stings, it leaves 436 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 4: its stinger. It just has one sting and then it's done. 437 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 4: The next time it goes to sting, there's nothing there. 438 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 4: It's like having a gun with one bullet, a boxer 439 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 4: with one punch. You better make it count because that's 440 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 4: your only chance. Years ago, the enemy came against Jesus. 441 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 4: What he didn't realize is like that honey bee. He 442 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 4: only had one chance. He did his best to defeat Jesus. 443 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 4: He was crucified on the cross. Jesus breathed his last 444 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 4: breath and died. It looked like the sting was successful. 445 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 4: Satan was rejoicing, thinking he had won. But on the 446 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 4: third day Jesus came out of the grave. He said, 447 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 4: I was dead, but I'm alive forevermore, and I have 448 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 4: the keys to death and hell. The good news is 449 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 4: the enemy doesn't have his stinger anymore. He tried his best, 450 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 4: but his best was not enough. That's why Paul said, 451 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 4: O Death, where is your steam? Oh grave, where is 452 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 4: your victory? We can live from a place of faith 453 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 4: knowing that God has removed the stinger from the enemy. 454 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 4: He has rendered him powerless. What he brings against you 455 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,479 Speaker 4: is not going to have it's in tended purpose. The 456 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 4: blood of the Lamb is greater than any poison that's 457 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 4: trying to stop you. Now put your shoulders back, hold 458 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 4: your head up high. The most powerful force in the 459 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 4: universe is breathing in your direction. Friends, you have the cure. 460 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 4: Now get up every morning, take your medicine, dwell on 461 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 4: what God says about you. If you'll do this, I 462 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 4: believe and declare chains that have held you back are 463 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 4: being broken. Favor is coming, healing is coming, promotion is coming, 464 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 4: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name. Well, I'd 465 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,719 Speaker 4: like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the 466 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 4: lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 467 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 4: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 468 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 4: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that 469 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 4: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. We'd love 470 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 4: to give you some information on your new walk of faith. 471 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 4: Just text the number on the screen.
