See, God wants us to be fearless 35 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 2: and courageous. He wants us to be like the ones 36 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: you see in the movies. You know how they are 37 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: about Like the time the enemy gets a hold of them, 38 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: they fall down. He's got them in the gridlock. That 39 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: superhero turns around and swirls around and before you know it, 40 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 2: he's defeating the enemy. Or he comes out of nowhere. 41 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: You know, you don't know what happened to him. He 42 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: comes out of nowhere and shows up strong on the scene. 43 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: You see. He may fall, but he shows up strong, 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: And I believe that God wants us to show up strong. 45 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: He wants us to show up strong, not only for ourselves, 46 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 2: but for other people. He wants us to be a superhero. 47 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: And as we were singing together, that's how we're gonna 48 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: become this superhero powerhouse for Almighty God. It's only gonna 49 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: come when we do it together. You see, we're not 50 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: islands among ourselves. We were not intended to be alone. 51 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: When God created man. He says, you need a helpmate. 52 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: You need someone who's gonna link arms with you. You 53 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 2: need someone that can help you move forward, perpetuate my kingdom. 54 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: You see, we were never designed to be alone. The 55 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: scripture says that two are better than one because when 56 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: one falls, the others there to pick him up. You see, 57 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: we are going to defeat the enemy. We are going 58 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: to move forward when we're linked arms doing it together. 59 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: In Hebrews three point thirteen, listen to what it says. 60 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: It says to encourage one another daily. Now that sounds great, 61 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 2: doesn't it. 62 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 5: Boy? 63 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: You look good today? Oh I like that presentation at work? Well, 64 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: you're so pretty. We should do that, shouldn't we? We 65 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: should encourage each other daily that's what God says, encourage 66 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: each other daily. You know, God formed us in our 67 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: mother's womb. He made us, and he knows how we operate. 68 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: You see, we have instructions on how to operate to 69 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: our highest potential and performance, and we can find them 70 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: in the word of God. So he says, encourage each 71 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: other daily. Now listen to the rest of that verse 72 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 2: because this is the weighty and meaty part of these 73 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: You see, if you just encourage, that's great, You'll do 74 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: it if you want to. If you think about maybe 75 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 2: I should go over and see my grandmother today, but 76 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: I really don't have time. I've got a lot of 77 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: things to do. We don't take encouragement seriously. But listen 78 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: to this part. This is what God was saying would 79 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 2: happen when we stand together, link arms and encourage each 80 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: other daily. It's said to encourage each other daily so 81 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: the deceitfulness of sin doesn't harden our hearts. There's a 82 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: weighty promise right there. When we stand together, guess what 83 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: we stand opposing the enemy's deceit. He wants to deceive us. 84 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 2: He wants us isolated. He doesn't want us to have 85 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: the support that we were designed to have. See, God says, 86 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 2: if you will encourage, you will be encouraged. If you 87 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: will encourag courage, you can stand against the enemy for 88 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 2: someone else. See, sometimes when you need encouragement, it's hard 89 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 2: to stand against the enemy. When you're discouraged, it's hard 90 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: to stand against the enemy. I've seen people get so discouraged, 91 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: so down, so defeated, they couldn't even think straight. You know, 92 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 2: when you're discouraged and down and defeated, that is the 93 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: time that the enemy wants to come in and have 94 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: a heyday in your mind. He wants to tell you 95 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 2: that you're not good enough, that you can't do it, 96 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: that you'll never get well. You guys will quit trying. 97 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: You see, when you're down and discouraged, that's when the 98 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: enemy can come in. But when you have people around 99 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: you that are willing to take this script seriously and say, 100 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna let them get down, because I have 101 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 2: the power to stand against the enemy for them. You See, 102 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: isn't it interesting that God said, our encouragement, our encouragement 103 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,679 Speaker 2: can stand against the enemy. Christian Covington was here earlier 104 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: in the eight thirty service. I looked over at him 105 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 2: and he's huge a place for the Texans. Do y'all 106 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 2: know Christian Covington? All right? Well he's huge, And I thought, well, 107 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 2: that's what we look like on the inside. I was 108 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 2: thinking about how when Christian Covington and his team they 109 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: play on the defense. Don't ask me positions. I just 110 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: know they play on the defense. I also know that 111 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: the defensive line is there to stand together so that 112 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: the other team, the opponent, cannot score on their team. 113 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 2: I do know that much about football. You would be 114 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 2: proud of me. But the way they do it is 115 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: they stand together. They know each other is right there, 116 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 2: and they're not gonna let their opponents score. Do you 117 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: know when we stand together locked arms, we don't let 118 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 2: the enemy score on each other. He cannot score. See, 119 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: encourage means to impart courage. It means to make fearless, 120 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: make brave, impart courage. That's what God is saying in 121 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: part courage to one another, because see, the enemy wants 122 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: to discourage, He wants to take our courage. He wants 123 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: to subtract from what God is doing in our life. See, 124 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: we have to stand together. We have to be superheroes. 125 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 2: When I look at Hebrews three point thirteen. In this light, 126 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: I feel like wonder Woman. I think, you know what, 127 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 2: every time I encourage somebody, I am slashing at the enemy. 128 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: I am kicking him, I'm defeating him, I'm pushing him back. 129 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 2: You ever see wonder Woman, You can be Clark Kent 130 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 2: if you're a guy, stip in in the phone booth 131 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: and come out Superman. But that's the truth. I really 132 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: believe that. I believe if we understand the power of encouragement, 133 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: we're going to be empowered to encourage. Listen, encourage your family, 134 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: Encourage your children, Encourage that coworker, Encourage your boss. Hey, 135 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,559 Speaker 2: encouragement doesn't mean you encourage them because they're being nice 136 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: to you. You encourage them because God is impressing on 137 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: you that if you'll do that, you can stand on 138 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: that defensive line. And I really believe when he says 139 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: encourage one another daily, that that means there's a great 140 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: exchange that takes place. See if every one of us 141 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 2: would encourage someone daily, what would this world look like? 142 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: How strong would we really be? See? We can think 143 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 2: a lot of things. We can think a lot of encouragement. 144 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 2: We can think about doing a lot of things. But 145 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: it's not until we stand strong and take action and 146 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 2: begin to impart courage to each other that things will change. 147 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: You See, you can't do anything about someone's situation. Was 148 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 2: talking to a staff member the other day. Hurricane Harvey, 149 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 2: five feet of water in her home came rushing in. 150 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 2: Her family had to leave, her family or children, They 151 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 2: had to leave immediately. She left with nothing. When they 152 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 2: got themselves settled into a place of dry ground and 153 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: the reality started settling in that they had just lost 154 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: all their material possessions in their home, everything, she was devastated. 155 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 2: She said, I was so discouraged. I was so overwhelmed. 156 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: I felt numb, and I couldn't even move. My husband, 157 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 2: being the head of the house, couldn't believe that he 158 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 2: had just lost everything and how was he going to 159 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 2: rebuild his family's life. He looked at her and he said, 160 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 2: we got to get out of this state. We have 161 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: got to get out of this situation. In our mind, 162 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 2: this atmosphere of let's go to the church and help out. 163 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: We were people volunteers all over the place, distributing, doing 164 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 2: what they could do. She said, I simply sat there 165 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 2: thinking I can't I don't even know what to think. 166 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: I have no makeup. I have not even a hair 167 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 2: tie to tie my hair back with. I don't want 168 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 2: to go. Then she began to put a smile on 169 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 2: her face and said, about that time, a friend of 170 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 2: mine showed up. Showed up with a bag full of makeup. 171 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 2: She said, not only did God tell her the color 172 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: foundation that I wore, she brought all the extras, the Msscara, 173 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 2: the blush, and the lip gloss. See, that's something that 174 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: only a woman can appreciate. You See, her friend that 175 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 2: day was standing and the defense of blind for her. 176 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 2: See her friend that day allowed God to breathe life 177 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 2: back into her soul. She was discouraged, she was overwhelmed, 178 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 2: But that friend used the power of encouragement to get 179 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: her one step closer to her victory, one step closer 180 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 2: to her victory, she said. She put that makeup on, 181 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 2: went to her husband and said, I'm ready than ever 182 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: to go. I'm as ready as I'll ever be. He 183 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 2: went to the church and begin to help other people. 184 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 2: I saw her yesterday. If you looked at her, you 185 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 2: wouldn't know that what she had been through. You wouldn't 186 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 2: know that she was fighting a good fight of fate 187 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 2: because she said, every day, God said, someone show up 188 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 2: to bring me courage and encourage my heart. You see, 189 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 2: the enemy wanted to defeat her. He wanted to get 190 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 2: her thinking going in the wrong direction. Because see, if 191 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 2: he can get your thinking going in the wrong direction, 192 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: he can get your life going in the wrong direction. 193 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 2: And that's what discouragement does. It gets your life going 194 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 2: in the wrong direction. Hey, as far as it's up 195 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 2: to us, we can't let those around us see discouragement 196 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 2: or be discouraged. Because we're the Church of the Living God. 197 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 2: We are the superheroes for God Almighty. You see, we 198 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 2: could not do a thing about her five foot of 199 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: water in her home, right, I mean, we couldn't change 200 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 2: that situation. I heard it said like this, it's not 201 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 2: what happens to you, it's what happens in you that 202 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 2: makes the difference. And because she had a friend that 203 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: day encourage her and in part courage, the thing that 204 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: the enemy wanted to do did not happen in her. 205 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: It didn't happen in her. You see, her friend gave 206 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 2: her that courage to keep her heart soft, to believe 207 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 2: that God had possibilities that it could be better than ever, 208 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 2: that she could get up again and move forward. That's 209 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 2: what encouragement does to us. The Israelites in Exodus six, 210 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: it says they were too discouraged to believe. They couldn't 211 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: even hear the words of Moses when God was trying 212 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 2: to tell them what he wanted to do for them, 213 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 2: because they were so deep and buried under discouragement, they 214 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: could not even hear about the God of the impossible. 215 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 2: Don't allow anyone around you to be discouraged, because we 216 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 2: are here to tell people about the God of the possible. 217 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 2: They don't have to lose hope because we serve the 218 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: God that can do anything. If we will stay encouraged 219 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: and continue to impart courage. I truly believe that that 220 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 2: exchange works two ways. We will also be encouraged. When 221 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 2: you encourage, you'll be encouraged. When you're encouraged, you'll be 222 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 2: strengthened to encourage yourself. Do you know there's studies that 223 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 2: say when you encourage people, when you help someone, that 224 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: it is an emotional high that literally releases dopamine in 225 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 2: your brain and makes you happy. You see, it empowers you. 226 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 2: And when you're empowered with this emotion of happiness. Then 227 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: you can go and help other people. When you're empowered 228 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: with emotion of happiness, you can help yourself. Because see, 229 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 2: I truly believe there will be days that we have 230 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 2: to encourage ourself, just like David. But God wants us 231 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 2: to get good at encouraging others and encouraging ourselves because 232 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: those days that we can't, He'll provide. Just like my friend. 233 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: You know, sometimes encouragement it's just simply showing up with 234 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: a broom and a mop or a bag of makeup. 235 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: You see, we need to encourage not only with our words, 236 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 2: but with our actions. Ask God, give me somebody every day, 237 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: God that I can have a exchange with that I 238 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 2: can encourage in a meaningful and profound way. If we 239 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: will all ask God to give us that one person, 240 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: put that one person on our heart, whether it's your child, 241 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: your husband, your friend, your coworker, your boss. I believe 242 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 2: that God will do things in our life that we 243 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 2: can even ask or think or imagine. Amen, let's push 244 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: back darkness with our encouragement. 245 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 6: Now we're available from New York Times Best author Victoria 246 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 6: Oustein her brand new thirty day audio devotional Embracing every Day. 247 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 6: In this uplifting thirty day audio devotional, you'll be challenged 248 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 6: and inspired to start living with greater faith and favor 249 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 6: every day.
