We are praying for you and 42 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 4: your family for God's very very best. But I like 43 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 4: to start with something funny and I heard about these 44 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 4: two brothers, ages four and six. They were spending the 45 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 4: night at their grandmother's house. She told them before they 46 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 4: went to bed to make sure that they said their prayers. 47 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 4: They went in the bedroom, got down on their knees. 48 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 4: The youngest brother started praying at the top of his lungs. God, 49 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 4: I pray for a new bicycle. I pray for a 50 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 4: new PlayStation. I pray for a new puppy. His brother 51 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 4: stopped him and said, why are you screaming? God isn't death? 52 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 4: He said, I know that, but grandmother is say it 53 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 4: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 54 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 4: what it says. I am. I have what it says 55 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 4: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 56 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 4: Today I will be taught the word of God. I 57 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 4: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 58 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 59 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 60 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 4: ready to rise. We all face things in life that 61 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 4: try to push us down. It's easy to lose our 62 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 4: passion and think that's the way it's always going to be. 63 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 4: But God didn't create you to be overcome. He created 64 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 4: you as an overcomer. He puts something in your spirit 65 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 4: called bounce back. Bounce back means when you get knocked down, 66 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 4: you don't stay down. There's a force breathing in your direction, 67 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 4: making things happen that you couldn't make happen, giving you 68 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 4: strength that you didn't have. It causes you to rise up. 69 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 4: Because you have bounced back, that difficulty cannot defeat you. 70 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 4: It may hold you back temporarily, but it's just a 71 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 4: matter of time before you rise back up. And you 72 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 4: may have things coming against you now. Thoughts tell you 73 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 4: you'll never get well. This pandemic has ruined your finances. 74 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 4: You'll always struggle with this addiction. Don't believe those lies. 75 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 4: You may be down, but that is not your final destination. 76 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 4: God is saying, get ready to rise, get ready for favor, 77 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 4: Get ready for breakthrough, Get ready for healing. What was 78 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 4: meant for your harm. God is turning to your advantage. 79 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 4: Micah said, rejoice not over me, my enemies. When I fall, 80 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 4: for I shall arise. He wasn't complaining about the trouble. 81 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 4: He wasn't discouraged over being knocked down. He understood this 82 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 4: principle that there was bounce back in his spirit. In 83 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 4: the middle of the difficulty, he was speaking victory. If 84 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 4: you're going to come out of that challenge, you have 85 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 4: to do like Micah. This problem didn't come to stay, 86 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 4: It came to pass. God being for me is more 87 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 4: than the world being against me. I shall arise When 88 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 4: you say that. Forces of darkness tremble when you declare, 89 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 4: I shall arise. Angels go to work no more. It's 90 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 4: never going to change my business, will never make it. 91 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 4: My child's never going to get back on course. Zip 92 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 4: that up. If you talk defeat, you're going to have defeat. 93 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 4: Say with Micah, yes, I've had difficulties. I'm not denying 94 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 4: the problem, not acting like it doesn't exist. All I'm 95 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 4: saying is I'm not staying here. I shall arise. I 96 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: will see God's goodness. My latter days will be better 97 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 4: than my former days. God hasn't brought you this far 98 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 4: to leave you. He won't let you get in a 99 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 4: problem that he can't get you out of. That person 100 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 4: that walked out on you. They didn't stop your destiny. 101 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 4: Quldn't giving them that much power thinking that they ruined 102 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 4: your life. God has somebody better coming, David said God 103 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 4: lifted me out of the pit and set my feet 104 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 4: on a rock. You may be in a pit, so 105 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 4: to speak, you don't see how you could get out. 106 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 4: The good news is you don't have to get out 107 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 4: by yourself. The Most High God is about to lift 108 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 4: you out. He's about to free you from that addiction. 109 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 4: He's about to turn the medical report around. He's about 110 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 4: to open new doors, bring new opportunities, new relationships. That 111 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 4: pit is not your destiny. Get ready to rise, Paul said, 112 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,239 Speaker 4: the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives 113 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 4: on the inside of you. The forces of darkness did 114 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 4: their best to stop Jesus, but they couldn't keep him 115 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: from rising. That tells me nothing you face can keep 116 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 4: you from your purpose. No pandemic, no sickness, no addiction. 117 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 4: The enemy may have done his best, but his best 118 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 4: will never be enough. A few years back, we had 119 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 4: a big hurricane here in Houston. I noticed all the 120 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 4: different kind of trees that were blown down, huge oak 121 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 4: trees three or four feet around. I saw pine trees 122 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 4: over one hundred feet tall laying in yard after yard. 123 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 4: Big trees, small trees. None of them could withstand the 124 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 4: hurricane force winds. There was only one type of tree 125 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 4: that wasn't blown down. It was the palm tree. It's 126 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 4: because God designed the palm to withstand the storm. Unlike 127 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 4: the other trees, the palm is able to bend so 128 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 4: it doesn't break. A certain kind of palm can bend 129 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 4: all the way over to where the top is almost 130 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 4: touching the ground during a hurricane. It may stay that 131 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 4: way for three or four hours. All bend over looks 132 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 4: like it's done. But when the wind dies down the 133 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 4: storm is over, it stands right back up to where 134 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 4: it was before. All these other trees down on the ground. 135 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 4: What's the difference. God put bounce back in the palm tree. 136 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 4: It may get pushed over, but it's only temporary. Psalm 137 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 4: ninety two says the righteous will flourish like a palm tree. 138 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 4: The reason God chose a palm tree, not oaks or 139 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 4: pines is he knew we would go through storms. He 140 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 4: knew things would try to push us down and keep 141 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 4: us from our destiny. So he said, I'm going to 142 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 4: make you like a palm. I'm going to put bounce 143 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 4: back in your spirit. And you may go through difficulties, 144 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 4: a loss, a disappointment, but at some point the winds 145 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 4: will stop, the storm will pass, and like that palm, 146 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 4: you'll come right back up again. You may be bent 147 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 4: over right now, you're facing challenges. Thoughts are telling you 148 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 4: it's never going to work out, nor get ready to rise. 149 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 4: You have bounced back in your spirit. When that storm 150 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 4: is over, you're not going to be laying down, beat up. 151 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 4: You're going to rise up, healthy, blessed, prosperous. You're not 152 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 4: going to look like what you've been through. Nobody is 153 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 4: going to be able to tell that you even had 154 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 4: that difficulty. What I love about God is he doesn't 155 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 4: just bring you through the storm. He makes the enemy 156 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 4: paid for bringing the trouble. When the palm tree is 157 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 4: bent over during the hurricane, you would think that was 158 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 4: damaging the tree and making it weaker, but research shows 159 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 4: just the opposite. When the tree is being pushed over 160 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 4: and stretched by the strong winds, that's strengthening the root system, 161 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 4: giving it new opportunities for growth. When the palm tree 162 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 4: straightens back up after the storm, it's actually stronger than 163 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 4: it was before. When you come out of that storm, 164 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 4: when you straighten back up, you're not going to be 165 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 4: the same. You're going to be stronger healthier, better off, 166 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 4: ready for new growth. When you're in difficult times, you 167 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 4: need to remind yourself. I may bend, but I'm not 168 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 4: going to break. God won't let you face anything that 169 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 4: will be too much for you to handle. Things may 170 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 4: be coming against you, but know this down is not 171 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 4: your destiny. Defeat is not how your story ends. Sickness, trouble, 172 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 4: not having enough is not permanent. I believe even now 173 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 4: those winds are starting to subside. Forces that have hindered 174 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 4: you are being broken. Powers of darkness are being pushed back. 175 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 4: You're about to see breakthroughs, freedom, joy, victory. Micah. Chapter 176 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 4: seven Micah list all these negative things that have happened. 177 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 4: He talked about how he was overwhelmed with sorrow, had 178 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 4: gone through bad breaks. If he would have stopped there, 179 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 4: we wouldn't be reading about him. He went on to 180 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 4: say in verse seven, but as for me, I'm not 181 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 4: giving up. I'm sticking around to see what God is 182 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 4: going to do. I know he will make things right. 183 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 4: He had this attitude of faith. I've come too far 184 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 4: to stop now. He was expecting God to turn it around. 185 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 4: That's why he said in the next verse, don't rejoice 186 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 4: when I fall, I shall arise. But sometimes we've been 187 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 4: in the storm so long we've forgotten what it's like 188 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 4: to be standing back. The enemy would love to convince 189 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 4: us to settle for being bent over living in dysfunction, 190 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 4: bitter over who hurt us, thinking we'll never be happy again. 191 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 4: We need to do like Micah. Yes I've had some 192 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 4: bad breaks. Yes life has thrown me some curves, but 193 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 4: I'm not giving up on my dreams. I'm not settling 194 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 4: for mediocrity. I'm sticking around to see what God is 195 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 4: going to do. I know he's going to make things right. 196 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 4: Don't get talked out of your dreams. Don't let the delays, 197 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 4: the unfair childhood, the unexpected storm convince you that you've 198 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 4: seen your best days. God is up to something, and 199 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 4: what looks like a setback is all a part of 200 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 4: his plan. He may not have sent the difficulty, but 201 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 4: he wouldn't have allowed it if it was going to 202 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 4: keep you from your destiny. If you'll have this attitude 203 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 4: of faith, God will make things right in your life. 204 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 4: He will restore what the enemy tried to steal. He'll 205 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 4: pay you back for the wrongs. He'll open doors that 206 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 4: you couldn't open. He will get you to your destiny. 207 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 4: In Genesis thirty seven, Joseph was a teenager and God 208 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 4: gave him a dream that he would be in leadership. 209 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 4: He would have great influence. He had many older brothers, 210 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 4: but he was the favorite son of their father, Jacob, 211 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 4: because he was born later in life. Jacob treated him differently. 212 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 4: He even had them make Joseph a special robe of 213 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 4: many colors, and I'm sure Joseph was proud of that 214 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 4: robe made him stand out, gave him prestige. But his 215 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 4: brothers were jealous of Joseph. They didn't like the special treatment. 216 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 4: They didn't like the fact that he had these dreams 217 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 4: and that he thought he was going to do something great. 218 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 4: One day, his father asked him to travel to another 219 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 4: city to check on his brothers. They were out working 220 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 4: in a field when they saw Joseph coming from a 221 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 4: distance wearing that colorful robe. They thought, this is our 222 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 4: big chance to get rid of Joseph. They took the 223 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 4: robe off of him and threw him into a pit. 224 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 4: They were going to put blood on his robe and 225 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 4: tell their father that he had been eaten by a 226 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 4: wild animal. But about that time, a caravan of Ishmaelites 227 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 4: came passing by. The brothers decided to sell Joseph as 228 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 4: a slave instead of leaving him to die in the pit. 229 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 4: It's interesting how God will always have the right people 230 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 4: show up at the right time. That caravan had been 231 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 4: traveling for months. They left long before Joseph went to 232 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 4: check on his brothers. But God has everything figured out. 233 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 4: He knows what you're going to need, when you're going 234 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 4: to need it, who's going to need to be there. 235 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 4: You don't have to worry. God has it all lined out. 236 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 4: He's going to get you to your destiny. People can't 237 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 4: stop you a bad break injustice. God is ordering your steps. 238 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 4: He's not only in control of your life, He's in 239 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 4: control of the circumstances around you. Now Joseph was no 240 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 4: longer the favorite son wearing the colorful robe. He was 241 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 4: a slave in a foreign country, working for a man 242 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 4: named Potiphar. Year after year went by, Joseph kept doing 243 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 4: the right thing, being good to people that weren't good 244 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 4: to him. I can imagine many nights he thought about home, 245 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 4: about that robe he used to have and what that meant. 246 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 4: Tears would fill his eyes, thoughts would whisper it's not fair. 247 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 4: You'll never accomplish your dreams. You'll never see your father again, 248 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 4: you'll never have that robe of many colors. But deep 249 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 4: down I can hear Joseph praying, Father, thank you that 250 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 4: what you started in my life you will finish. I 251 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 4: don't see a way, but I know you have a way. 252 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 4: I may be down, but I believe I will rise again, 253 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,359 Speaker 4: that what you promised me will come to pass. Thirteen 254 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 4: years after Joseph was thrown into that pit, Pho had 255 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 4: a dream. He didn't know what it meant. Joseph was 256 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 4: in prison. Someone remembered that he could interpret dreams. They 257 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 4: called him in. He told the pharaoh what the dream meant, 258 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 4: how it had to do with the food supplied, how 259 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 4: they needed to store up grain and get everything prepared 260 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 4: for a famine. The pharaoh was so impressed with Joseph 261 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 4: his advisers were discussing who should be appointed for this 262 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 4: new position. Pharaoh told him no one could do it 263 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 4: better than Joseph. He put Joseph in charge of the 264 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 4: whole nation. He said, in verse forty four, no one 265 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 4: will move hand or foot in all of Egypt without 266 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 4: your approval. He had his staff bring a royal robe 267 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 4: and put it on Joseph. He took off his prison clothes, 268 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 4: took off his slave clothes, and he put on this 269 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 4: robe of honor, robe of influence, robe of authority. Imagine 270 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 4: now Joseph thinking back about the robe that his brothers 271 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 4: took away from him, the robe that represented favor. He 272 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 4: was disappointed at the time, he wanted it back, it 273 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 4: didn't seem fair. But now he realized, without losing the 274 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 4: robe of many colors, he would have never had the 275 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 4: robe of authority, that robe that said I'm in charge 276 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 4: of a nation. If you knew what God has in 277 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 4: store for you, you wouldn't be discouraged over the robe 278 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 4: of many colors that you lost, that job that didn't 279 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 4: work out, the person that walked away, the loan that 280 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 4: didn't go through. If you could see the robe of 281 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 4: authority that's coming, the robe of influence, the robe of abundance, 282 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 4: the robe of unprecedented favor, you wouldn't be bitter over 283 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 4: who hurt you, upset over the time in the pit, 284 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 4: frustrated by what you lost. What God has in your 285 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 4: future is so amazing. You will never complain about your past. 286 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 4: You may be down now, but like Joseph, get ready 287 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 4: to rise. Favor is come like you've never seen. God 288 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 4: is about to do something unusual, something uncommon, something that 289 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 4: catapults you to a new level. Your story doesn't end 290 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 4: with the Robe of many colors that you lost. Doesn't 291 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 4: end with a dream that didn't work out, a relationship 292 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 4: that didn't make it, a business that went down. The 293 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 4: Robe of many Colors was simply foreshadowing what God is 294 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 4: about to do. It was supposed to be temporary. Was 295 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 4: it supposed to last? If the door closed, accept it 296 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 4: and move on. Don't spend your life wishing you had 297 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 4: the Robe of many colors back when God has something 298 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 4: so much better in your future. Don't go around bitter 299 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 4: because someone threw you into a pit, someone betrayed you, 300 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 4: you were cheated in a business deal. God saw it. 301 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 4: He wouldn't have let them take the colorful robe. He 302 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 4: wouldn't have let that bad break happen if it was 303 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 4: going to keep you from your destiny. But how many 304 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 4: of us are longing for the robe of many colors, 305 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 4: wishing we could go back where we knew we were favored, 306 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 4: before the setback, before the health issue, before the pandemic. 307 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 4: Here's the key. Not having the robe of many colors 308 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 4: doesn't mean that you don't have favor. It means greater 309 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 4: favor is coming. You had to lose that robe to 310 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 4: step into the awesome future that God has in store. 311 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 4: You haven't seen, heard, or imagine where God is taking you. 312 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 4: You may feel like you're in a pit. That's okay. 313 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 4: The pit is leading you to the palace. You had 314 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 4: a set back, that's okay. It's setting you up for 315 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,719 Speaker 4: greater influence, greater authority, greater honor. Don't sit around sour 316 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 4: wishing for the robe of many colors. Get ready for 317 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 4: the greater things that God is about to do. Joseph 318 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 4: was in charge of the food supply. There was a 319 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 4: great famine in the land, and the only place that 320 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 4: had food was Egypt. One day, Joseph's brothers, the same 321 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 4: ones that threw him into the pit, traveled to the 322 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 4: palace looking for food. Joseph came out, but they didn't 323 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 4: recognize him. The last time they saw Joseph, he was 324 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 4: in the pit, defeated, no future, But God has the 325 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 4: final say. They knew him in the pit, but now 326 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 4: he was so successful, he had so much influence, prestige, 327 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 4: they didn't recognize him. That's the way God vindicates. When 328 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 4: he raises you up, you'll be so blessed, so favored, 329 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 4: that your enemies don't recognize you. Thirteen years earlier, Joseph 330 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 4: was down and his brothers were up. Joseph was in 331 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 4: the pit. They were on top. Now Joseph was on 332 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 4: top and his brothers were down. Joseph was in charge 333 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 4: and his brothers were in need. When you let God 334 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 4: fight your battles, there will be a day like when Joseph. 335 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 4: When the tables are turned, you will be up, and 336 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 4: those that to stop you will be down. God knows 337 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 4: how to make things right. You may be in a 338 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 4: tough time. Stick in there and see what God is 339 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 4: up to. Keep believing, keep praying, keep dreaming. Your time 340 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 4: is coming. The pit is only temporary. The depression, the sickness, 341 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 4: the lack is not how your story ends. God is 342 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 4: working behind the scenes. You are closer than you think. 343 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 4: It's going to happen. Sooner than it looks, God is 344 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 4: going to surprise you. Joseph woke up one morning in prison. 345 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 4: Seemed like another ordinary day, but a few hours later 346 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 4: he was the Prime Minister of Egypt. He didn't see 347 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 4: it coming. There wasn't any sign of it. That's how 348 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 4: God works. Many times you don't see anything happening, and 349 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 4: suddenly things fall into place, Suddenly your health turns around, 350 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 4: Suddenly you meet the right person. The Psalmist said, let 351 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 4: God arise and his enemies be scattered. That means you 352 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 4: have to allow it. You can let it, or you 353 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 4: cannot let it. We can't stop God from a rising. 354 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 4: This is talking about in our thoughts. When you let 355 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 4: God arise, you make him bigger than your problems, bigger 356 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 4: than the sickness, bigger than the financial trouble. You focus 357 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 4: on his greatness, You think about his power, You talk 358 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 4: about how he's brought you through in the past. You 359 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 4: go around bragging on what he has done, declaring no 360 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 4: weapon formed against me is going to prosper What was 361 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 4: meant from my harm, God is turning to my advantage. 362 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 4: The bigger you make God, the smaller your problems will become, 363 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 4: and the more faith will rise in your heart. But 364 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 4: the enemy is always trying to get us to let 365 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 4: the problem arise. Maybe your child is off course. It's 366 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 4: easy to talk about how he's not making good decisions. 367 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 4: He's never going to reach his destiny, and I don't 368 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 4: understand what I did wrong. You're letting the wrong thing arise. 369 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 4: Turn it around, start letting God arise. Father, Thank you 370 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 4: that as for me and my house, we will serve 371 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 4: the Lord. Thank you that my children will be mighty 372 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 4: in the land. Thank you that my seed, the seed 373 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 4: of the righteous, is blessed. That's letting God arise. That's 374 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 4: what causes things to change. When you speak defeat, you 375 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 4: bring defeat on the Sein. When you speak victory, you 376 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 4: bring God on the Sein. He created the universe, he 377 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 4: flung stars into space. There's nothing that he can't do. 378 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 4: Maybe you're struggling in your finances. Business is slow, you 379 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 4: can't go to work. You can either let that defeat arise. 380 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 4: You'll feel discouraged worried, or you can let God arise. Father, 381 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 4: Thank you that I will lend and not borrow. Thank 382 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 4: you that the economy is not my source, but you 383 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 4: are my source. You said you'd prosper me even in 384 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 4: a desert when you let God arise. The scripture says 385 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 4: your enemies will be scattered. Depression, lack, trouble cannot stand 386 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,239 Speaker 4: against our God when you let him arise. Chains that 387 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 4: have held you back are broken. Problems that look permanent 388 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:24,479 Speaker 4: will turn around when God arises. Favor comes, new doors 389 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 4: open things that you couldn't make happen. Now, the question 390 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 4: is are you letting the problem arise or you letting 391 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 4: God arise? All through the day, It's so important to 392 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 4: keep a song of praise in your heart instead of worrying, 393 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 4: thinking about all the things that are wrong, what might 394 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 4: not work out in your thoughts. Lord, thank you that 395 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 4: there's nothing you can't do. There's no mountain that you 396 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 4: can't move. You're a waymaker, a miracle worker, a promise keeper. 397 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 4: Take the same time that you would normally worry and 398 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 4: turn it into worship. Not just being positive. That's letting 399 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 4: God arise. That's what allows the most powerful force in 400 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 4: the universe to go to work on your behalf. Well, Joel, 401 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 4: this all sounds good, but I don't think I'm an 402 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 4: rise back up. I've made a lot of mistakes. Nobody 403 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 4: did me wrong. Like Joseph, I brought the trouble on myself. 404 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 4: Jesus told a story about a young man like this 405 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 4: in Luke chapter fifteen. He asked his father for his inheritance. 406 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 4: Early he left home and went out and spent all 407 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 4: the money partying, living wild, making poor decisions. When he 408 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 4: ran out of funds, he got a job working at 409 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 4: a hog pen feeding hogs. He was so desperate, so hungry, 410 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 4: that he had to eat the hog food to survive. 411 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 4: One day, he was sitting around depressed, mad at himself, 412 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 4: feeling condemned. He began to think about home. How even 413 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 4: the servants at his father's house had a hot meal 414 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 4: every day, they had plenty of food. He was out 415 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 4: there starving. Verse seventeen says he said to himself, I 416 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 4: will arise and go to my father's house. He made 417 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 4: a decision that he wasn't going to stay in that defeat. 418 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 4: He wasn't going to sit around depressed, guilty, beating himself up. 419 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 4: But he was going to go back home. He didn't 420 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 4: know how his father would respond. He didn't know if 421 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 4: he'd tell him to stay off the property. But when 422 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 4: the father saw him a long way off, he took off, 423 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 4: running toward his son. He hugged him and kissed him. 424 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 4: Now the son was wearing these dirty clothes, smelly, he'd 425 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 4: been in the hog pen. The first thing the father 426 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 4: said was go get the best robe and put it 427 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 4: on my son. Not any robe, not one that's been used, 428 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 4: not a hand me down, Go get the finest robe. 429 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 4: It's interesting. Like God gave Joseph a royal robe of influence, 430 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 4: a robe of authority, God gave this young man a 431 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 4: robe of honor, a robe of favor. Both of them 432 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 4: rose out of what was holding them back. The difference 433 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 4: between the two is God calls Joseph to rise up. 434 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 4: He didn't have to do anything to make it happen. 435 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 4: He just kept honoring God being his best, and Pharaoh 436 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 4: called him in. But with the prodigal son, he had 437 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 4: to make a decision that he wasn't going to sit 438 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 4: around discouraged, defeated, thinking about all the mistakes he had made. 439 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 4: If he had not said I will arise, he would 440 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 4: have never seen this coat of favor. I'm wondering, are 441 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 4: you waiting for God to do something for you when 442 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 4: he's waiting for you to say I will arise. I'm 443 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 4: not going to go through life beating myself up, living condemned. 444 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,479 Speaker 4: Yes I've made mistakes, but I know I'm forgiven. I 445 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 4: know I've been redeemed. If you'll a rise, there's a 446 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 4: robe of favor waiting for you a robe of honor. 447 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 4: Those mistakes didn't cancel your destiny. Quit listening to the accuser, 448 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 4: reminding yourself of everything you've done wrong. God has already 449 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 4: forgiven you. Now forgive yourself and move on. It's time 450 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 4: to arise and go to your father's house. Proverb says 451 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 4: a good person falls seven times, but they rise again. 452 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 4: Get your fire back, get your passion back. Nothing you've 453 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 4: done is too much for the mercy of God. He 454 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 4: knew every mistake we would ever make. He's already taken 455 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 4: them into account. He has a plan even for the 456 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 4: times where we've missed it. Now arise and go get 457 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 4: that robe that belongs to you. You can still become 458 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 4: who you were created to be. When the winds blow 459 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 4: in your life, the storms come, remember this phrase. There's 460 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 4: bounce back in your spirit. You may bend, but you're 461 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 4: not going to break. Like the palm tree, You're going 462 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 4: to come right back up. All through the day, God, 463 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 4: arise in your thoughts, keep thanking him for his promises, 464 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 4: making him bigger than what you're facing. If you'll do this, 465 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 4: I believe and declare, like with Joseph, you're going to 466 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 4: see promotion, vindication, breakthroughs. God is going to make things 467 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 4: happen that you didn't see coming. You may have lost 468 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 4: the robe of many colors, but get ready for the 469 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 4: robe of authority, the robe of influence, the robe of favor. 470 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 4: In Jesus's name. Well, I'd like to give you an 471 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 4: opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would 472 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 4: you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent 473 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 4: of my sins. Come into my heart. I make you 474 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 4: my Lord and savior.
