Speaker 4: Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading

37
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 4: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

38
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 4: I hope you enjoy this message. I believe that God

39
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 4: wants every one of us to be a superhero. See.

40
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: God wants us to be fearless and courageous. He wants

41
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 4: us to be like the ones you see in them movies.

42
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 4: You know how they are about like the time the

43
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 4: enemy gets a hold of them, they fall down. He's

44
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 4: got them in the gridlock. That superhero turns around and

45
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 4: swirls around, and before you know it, he's defeating the enemy.

46
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 4: Or he comes out of nowhere. You know, you don't

47
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 4: know what happened to him. He comes out of nowhere

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 4: and shows up strong on the scene. You see, he

49
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: may fall, but he shows up strong. And I believe

50
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 4: that God wants us to show up strong. He wants

51
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 4: us to show up strong, not only for ourselves but

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: for other people. He wants us to be a superhero.

53
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 4: And as we were singing together, that's how we're gonna

54
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 4: become this superhero powerhouse for Almighty God. It's only gonna

55
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: come when we do it together. You see, we're not

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: islands among ourselves. We were not intended to be alone.

57
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 4: When God created man, he says, you need a help.

58
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 4: May you need someone who's gonna link arms with you. You

59
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 4: need someone that can help you move forward, perpetuate my kingdom.

60
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 4: You see, we were never designed to be alone. The

61
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 4: scripture says that two are better than one, because when

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 4: one falls, the others there to pick him up. You see,

63
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 4: we are going to defeat the enemy. We are going

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 4: to move forward when we're linked arms, doing it together.

65
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: In Hebrews three point thirteen. Listen to what it says.

66
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 4: It says to encourage one another daily. Now that sounds great,

67
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: doesn't it. Boy, you look good today? Oh I like

68
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 4: that presentation at work. Well, you're so pretty. We should

69
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: do that, shouldn't we. We should encourage each other daily.

70
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 4: That's what God says, encourage each other daily. You know,

71
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 4: God formed us in our mother's womb. He made us,

72
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 4: and he knows how we operate. You see, we have

73
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: instructions on how to operate to our highest potential and performance,

74
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: and we can find them in the word of God.

75
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 4: So he says, encourage each other daily. Now listen to

76
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: the rest of that verse, because this is the weighty

77
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 4: and meaty part of the verse. You see. If you

78
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 4: just encourage, that's great. You'll do it if you want to.

79
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 4: If you think about maybe I should go over and

80
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: see my grandmother today, but I really don't have time.

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: I've got a lot of things to do. We don't

82
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 4: take encouragement seriously. But listen to this part. This is

83
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: what God was saying would happen when we stand together,

84
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: link arms and encourage each other daily. It's said to

85
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 4: encourage each other daily. So the deceitfulness of sin doesn't

86
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 4: harden our hearts. There's a weighty promise right there. When

87
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 4: we stand together, guess what we stand opposing the enemy's deceit.

88
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 4: He wants to deceive us, He wants us isolated. He

89
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 4: doesn't want us to have the support that we were

90
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 4: designed to have. See, God says, if you will encourage,

91
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 4: you will be encouraged. If you will encourage, you can

92
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 4: stand against the enemy for someone else. See. Sometimes when

93
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 4: you need encouragement, it's hard to stand against the enemy.

94
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 4: When you're discouraged. It's hard to stand against the enemy.

95
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: I've seen people get so discouraged, so down, so defeated,

96
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 4: they couldn't even think straight. You know, when you're discouraged

97
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 4: and down and defeated, that is the time that the

98
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 4: enemy wants to come in and have a heyday in

99
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 4: your mind. He wants to tell you that you're not

100
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 4: good enough, that you can't do it, that you'll never

101
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 4: get well, you guys will quit trying. You See, when

102
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: you're down and discouraged, that's when the enemy can come in.

103
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 4: But when you have people around you that are willing

104
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 4: to take this script seriously and say I'm not gonna

105
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 4: let them get down because I have the power to

106
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 4: stand against the enemy for them. You see, isn't it

107
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:15,119
Speaker 4: interesting that God said our encouragement, Our encouragement can stand

108
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: against the enemy. Christian Covington was here earlier in the

109
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 4: eight thirty service. I looked over at him, and he's huge.

110
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 4: He placed for the Texans. Do y'all know Christian Covington,

111
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 4: all right? Well, he's huge, And I thought, well, that's

112
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 4: what we look like on the inside, big, kind of

113
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: like John Boy here, John Gray Boy, big and strong.

114
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 4: That's what we look like on the inside. I was

115
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 4: thinking about how when Christian Covington and his team they

116
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 4: play on the defense. Don't ask me positions. I just

117
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 4: know they play on the defense. I also know that

118
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 4: the defensive line is there to stand together so that

119
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 4: the other team, the opponent, cannot score on their team.

120
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: I do know that much about football. You will be

121
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 4: proud of me. But the way they do it is

122
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 4: they stand together. They know each other is right there,

123
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 4: and they're not gonna let their opponents score. Do you

124
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 4: know when we stand together locked arms, we don't let

125
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 4: the enemy score on each other. He cannot score. See,

126
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 4: encouragement means to impart courage. It means to make fearless,

127
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 4: make brave, impart courage. That's what God is saying in

128
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: part courage to one another. Because see, the enemy wants

129
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: to discourage, he wants to take our courage. He wants

130
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 4: to subtract from what God is doing in our life. See,

131
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 4: we have to stand together. We have to be superheroes.

132
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: When I look at Hebrews three point thirteen in this light,

133
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 4: I feel like Wonder Woman. I think, you know what,

134
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 4: every time I encourage somebody, I am slashing at the enemy.

135
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 4: I am kicking him, I'm defeating him, I'm pushing him back.

136
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: You ever see wonder Woman. You can be Clark Kent.

137
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 4: If you're a guy, step in in the phone booth

138
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 4: and come out Superman. But that's the truth. I really

139
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: believe that. I believe if we understand the power of encouragement,

140
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 4: we're going to be empowered to encourage. Listen, encourage your family,

141
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: Encourage your children, Encourage that coworker, Encourage your boss. Hey,

142
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 4: encouragement doesn't mean you encourage them because they're being nice

143
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: to you. You encourage them because God is impressing on

144
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 4: you that if you'll do that, you can stand on

145
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 4: that defensive line. And I really believe when he says

146
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 4: he encourage one another daily that that means there's a

147
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 4: great exchange that takes place. See if every one of

148
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 4: us would encourage someone daily, what would this world look like?

149
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: How strong would we really be? See, we can think

150
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 4: a lot of things, we can think a lot of encouragement,

151
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 4: we can think about doing a lot of things. But

152
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 4: it's not until we stand strong and take action and

153
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 4: begin to impart courage to each other that things will change. You. See,

154
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 4: you can't do anything about someone's situation. Talking to a

155
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 4: staff member the other day, Hurricane Harvey, five feet of

156
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 4: water in her home came rushing in. Her family had

157
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: to leave, her family or children. They had to leave immediately.

158
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 4: She left with nothing. When they got themselves settled into

159
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 4: a place of dry ground and the reality started settling

160
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,119
Speaker 4: in that they had just lost all their material possessions

161
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 4: in their home, everything, she was devastated. She said, I

162
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 4: was so discouraged, I was so overwhelmed. I felt numb,

163
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 4: and I couldn't even move. My husband, being the head

164
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: of the house, couldn't believe that he had just lost everything,

165
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: and how was he going to rebuild his family's life.

166
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 4: He looked at her and he said, we got to

167
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 4: get out of the state. We have got to get

168
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 4: out of this situation in our mind, this atmosphere of defeat.

169
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 4: Let's go to the church and help out. We were

170
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 4: people volunteers all over the place, distributing, doing what they

171
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 4: could do. She said, I simply sat there thinking, I can't.

172
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 4: I don't even know what to think. I have no makeup,

173
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: I have not even a hair tie to tie my

174
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: hair back with. I don't want to go. Then she

175
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 4: began to put a smile on her face and said,

176
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 4: about that time, a friend of mine showed up. Showed

177
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 4: up with a bag full of makeup. She said, not

178
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 4: only did God tell her the color foundation that I wore,

179
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 4: she brought all the extras, the Msscara, the blush, and

180
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 4: the lip gloss. See, that's something that only a woman

181
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 4: can appreciate. You See, her friend that day was Stanning

182
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: and the defensive line for her. See her friend that

183
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 4: day allowed God to breathe life back into her soul.

184
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 4: She was discouraged, she was overwhelmed, but that friend used

185
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 4: the power of encouragement to get her one step closer

186
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 4: to her victory. One step closer to her victory, she said.

187
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 4: She put that makeup on, went to her husband and said,

188
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 4: I'm ready than ever to go. I'm as ready as

189
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 4: I'll ever be. He went to the church and begin

190
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 4: to help other people. I saw her yesterday. If you

191
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 4: looked at her, you wouldn't know that what she'd been through.

192
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 4: You wouldn't know that she was fighting the good fight

193
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 4: of fate because she said every day God said, someone

194
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 4: show up to bring me courage and encourage my heart.

195
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 4: You see, the enemy wanted to defeat her. He wanted

196
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 4: to get her thinking going in the wrong direction. Because see,

197
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 4: if he can get your thinking going in the wrong direction,

198
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 4: he can get your life going in the wrong direction.

199
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 4: And that's what discouragement does. It gets your life going

200
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 4: in the wrong direction. Hey, as far as it's up

201
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 4: to us, we can't let those around us see discouragement

202
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 4: or be discouraged. Because we're the Church of the Living God.

203
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: We are the superheroes for God Almighty. You see, we

204
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 4: could not do a thing about her five foot of

205
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 4: water in her home, right, I mean, we couldn't change

206
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 4: that situation. I heard it said like this, It's not

207
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 4: what happens to you. It's what happens in you that

208
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 4: makes the difference. And because she had a friend that

209
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 4: day encourage her and in part courage, the thing that

210
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 4: the enemy wanted to do did not happen in her.

211
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 4: It didn't happen in her. You see, her friend gave

212
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 4: her that courage to keep her heart soft, to believe

213
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 4: that God had possibilities, that it could be better than ever,

214
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 4: that she could get up again and move forward. That's

215
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 4: what encouragement does to us. The Israelites in Exodus six,

216
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 4: it says they were too discouraged to believe. They couldn't

217
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 4: even hear the words of Moses when God was trying

218
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: to tell them what he wanted to do for them.

219
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 4: Because they were so deep and buried under discouragement, they

220
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 4: could not even hear about the God of the impossible.

221
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 4: Don't allow anyone around you to be discouraged, because we

222
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 4: are here to tell people about the God of the possible.

223
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 4: They don't have to lose hope because we serve the

224
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 4: God that can do anything. If we will stay encouraged

225
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 4: and continue to impart courage. I truly believe that that

226
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 4: exchange works two ways. We will also be encouraged. When

227
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 4: you encourage, you'll be encouraged. When you're encouraged, you'll be

228
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 4: strengthened to encourage yourself. Do you know there's studies that

229
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 4: say when you encourage people, when you help someone, that

230
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 4: it is an emotional high that literally releases dopamine in

231
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 4: your brain and makes you happy. You see, it empowers you.

232
00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 4: And when you're empowered with this emotion of happiness, then

233
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 4: you can go and help other people. When you're empowered

234
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 4: with emotion of happiness, you can help yourself. Because see,

235
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: I truly believe there will be days that we have

236
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 4: to encourage ourself, just like David. But God wants us

237
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 4: to get good at encouraging others and encouraging ourselves because

238
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 4: those days that we can't, He'll provide. Just like my friend.

239
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes encouragement is just simply showing up with

240
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 4: a broom and a mop or a bag of makeup.

241
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 4: You see, we need to encourage not only with our words,

242
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 4: but with our actions. Ask God, give me somebody every day,

243
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 4: God that I can have a exchange with, that I

244
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 4: can encourage in a meaningful and profound way. If we

245
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 4: will all ask God to give us that one person.

246
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 4: Put that one person on our heart, whether it's your child,

247
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 4: your husband, your friend, your coworker, your boss. I believe

248
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 4: that God will do things in our life that we

249
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 4: can even ask, thank or imagine. Amen, let's push back

250
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,800
