1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joelan Victoria. Thanks so much for listening

00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: promise you we'll make you feel right at home. I

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 1: like to start with something funny, and I heard about

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: this group of elderly ladies were way up in their eighties.

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: They were driving down the freeway together when they were

12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: pulled over by a policeman. The officer said to the driver, ma'am,

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: do you realize you're only going thirty five miles an hour?

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: She said, yes, Officer, I realized that. He said, well,

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: why are you going so slow? She said, because that's

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: what the sign said. He kind of laughed and said, no, ma'am,

17
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: that's the number of the freeway. This is Highway thirty five.

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: And by the way, why do these other passengers look

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: so terrified. She's smiled and said, because we just got

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: off Highway ninety five. Say it like you mean it.

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be

24
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess my mind

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

26
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: to talk to you today about from patient to physician.

28
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: We've all had times where we've seen God's goodness. We

29
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: weren't feeling well, the medical report didn't look good, but

30
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: God turned it around. Now we're healthy and whole. Or

31
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: we lost a loved one. We didn't think we could

32
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: go on, but God gave us strength and peace, and

33
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: here we are stronger than ever. At one point, we

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: were the patient. We needed healing, we needed restoration, we

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: needed favor. God made a way where we didn't see away,

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: and we're grateful that he brought us out. We know

37
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: that was his goodness. But here's the key. It's not

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: enough to just be a grateful form or patient. You

39
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: have to take it one step further and go from

40
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: patient to physician. You've been healed, Now go help somebody

41
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: else get healed. You broke the addiction, Help someone else

42
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: break their addiction. Your son got back on course. God

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: entered your prayers. Go help that mother that's struggling with

44
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: her son. Encourage her, speak life into her, let her

45
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: know that God did it for you and he can

46
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: do it for her. God didn't heal you so you

47
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: could be well. That's one reason, but not the only reason.

48
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: He healed you so you could become a healer. He

49
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: didn't bless you just so you could be blessed. He

50
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: did it so you could become a blessing. He favored

51
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: you so you could show other people favor, brought you

52
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: through the loss. He gave you a new beginning so

53
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: you could help others make it through their loss. And

54
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: it's not enough to just bask in what God has done,

55
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: thank him for his goodness, and that's fine, but you

56
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: have a responsibility to help someone else in that same situation.

57
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: You're no longer the patient. You become the physician. A

58
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: friend of mine has had real bad back pain. It's

59
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: been on and off again for a couple of years.

60
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: He recently found a new doctor that he really likes,

61
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: and what made him so special is. This doctor has

62
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: had the same back pain that my friend had for

63
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: over ten years. He's gone through several surgeries, and now

64
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: his back is perfectly healed. My friend was excited because

65
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: this doctor had been through what he's going through. Some

66
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: things you can't fully understand by taking a class or

67
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: by reading a book. But when you've been through the pain,

68
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: through the laws, through the struggle, that experience gives you

69
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: a unique perspective that others without it don't have. They

70
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: can't fully appreciate it. I don't know what it's like

71
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: to struggle with an addiction, or to go through chemotherapy,

72
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: or to have been raised in abuse and dysfunction. I

73
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: haven't been there. I can encourage you, I can chew

74
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: you on. But when you've been through something, You've been

75
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: through cancer treatment, you've been through a divorce, a loss,

76
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: a rough childhood, in one sense, you've been given a gift.

77
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: You are uniquely qualified to help someone else in that

78
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: same situation. You know what it's like, the pain, the discouragement,

79
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 1: the battles they fight in their mind. You can help

80
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: them in a way that others can't. God has done

81
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: it for you. Now, don't stay a grateful patient. Become

82
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: a physician. Reach out to them. Your encouragement carries more weight.

83
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: You're speaking from experience, You've been there, Paul said in Corinthians.

84
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: The comfort we receive in our difficulties, we can share

85
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: that same comfort with others in their time of need.

86
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: And we all have something to give because we've all

87
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 1: been through things, and it doesn't have to be something big,

88
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: something tragic. You made it through that tough course in college.

89
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: You worked hard and studied. That friend came over and

90
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: helped you. You prayed and believed you were the patient.

91
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't easy, but God breathed on your efforts and

92
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: you passed that course. Now maybe you have a friend

93
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: in that same situation. They don't understand it. They're stressed,

94
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: they're struggling. You're no longer the patient. Now you're the physician.

95
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: God brought you out not just for your sake, not

96
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: just so you could shine. He brought you out so

97
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: you can help somebody, y'all shine. Take time to mentor them,

98
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: give them your notes, your strategy, your tips, send them

99
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: an encouraging text. Do what you can to help them pass.

100
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 1: Every one of us have had experiences that qualify us

101
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: to be the physician. I know what it's like to

102
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: stand in faith when your mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer.

103
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: I know what it's like to lose a father that

104
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: you dearly loved unexpectedly. I know what it's like to

105
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: step up and pastor a church when you don't feel qualified.

106
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: I know what it's like to fight for the compact

107
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: Center when a company much bigger and stronger is against you.

108
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: I know what it's like to ignore opposition and critics

109
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: and do what God has put in your heart. God

110
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: has brought me through those things. He's given me strength

111
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: when I was weak. He opened doors that I couldn't open.

112
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: He heared my mother terminal cancer. He's given us the

113
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: Compact Center when every expert said there wasn't a chance.

114
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: I recognize God's goodness in my life, but I don't

115
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: just thank him for it. I'm not just a grateful

116
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: form or patient. I become a physician. Practically every week

117
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: I talk to other pastors that are about to step

118
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: up and pastor a church, maybe unexpectedly. I'm no expert,

119
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: but I tell them what I know that I didn't

120
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: feel qualified. I didn't have the experience. But God gave

121
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: me the grace, and he'll give them the grace too.

122
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: People tell me often how when they've heard me talk

123
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: about making it through the loss of my father, that's

124
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: helped them to make it through the loss of their

125
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: loved one. God told Abraham, I will bless you, and

126
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: you shall be a blessing. It infers if you're not

127
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: going to be a blessing, then you're not going to

128
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: be blessed. The two are tied together. God is saying,

129
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: I will heal you if you'll become a healer. I'll

130
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: free you if you'll help somebody else break that addiction.

131
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: I'll give you the Compact center. If you'll help other

132
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: people accomplish their dreams. He's saying, I'll deliver you from

133
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: being a patient if you'll make a commitment to become

134
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: a physician. And it's not only about being good to others,

135
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: but the way you're going to keep your blessing is

136
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: by being a blessing. The scripture says, give and it

137
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: will be given to you. If you're not giving away

138
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: what God has given you, then that blessing is not

139
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: going to continue in the way that it should. This

140
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: is the reason some people don't keep their healing. It's

141
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: not because they're not grateful, it's because they're not helping

142
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: anyone else. If you will give away healing, healing will

143
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: always come back to you. God freed you from that addiction.

144
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: If you want to stay free, go help somebody else

145
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: get free. Keep giving away what God has given you.

146
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: My mother was healed from terminal cancer back in nineteen

147
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: eighty one. For over thirty years, she's been healthy, whole,

148
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: and strong. One reason is she didn't stay a grateful

149
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: form or patient. She didn't just go around saying Lord,

150
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: thank you that I'm well. That's the first step, but

151
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: she went to step two and became a physician. For years,

152
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: she's gone up to the medical center every week to

153
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: pray for people that were sick. Her encouragement carries more weight.

154
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: She tells them, I've been where you are. I've been

155
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: given no hope. I was told I had a few

156
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: weeks to live, but God has the final say. Every

157
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: month here at Lakewood she has different healing services. She

158
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: keeps giving away what she's been given no wonder. She's

159
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: almost eighty five years young and still going strong today.

160
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: At one point, we were all the patient. We were lonely.

161
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: We were fighting in illness. We were believing for dream,

162
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: working hard, being our best, and God made it happen.

163
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: Now we're blessed, we're married, we have the compact center,

164
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: my mother is well. We're grateful, but we can't stop there.

165
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: We have a responsibility to help somebody else get well,

166
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: help them get their compact center, their promotion, their spouse.

167
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: We've switched from being the patient to becoming the physician.

168
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: Now we're looking for people. We can lift people. We

169
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: can speak light to their darkness, healing to their brokenness,

170
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: freedom to their strongholds. Back then we needed healing. Now

171
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: we are the healer. We needed encouragement. Now we are

172
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: the encourager. We needed a miracle. Now we are their miracle.

173
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: If you'll let what God gives you flow through you,

174
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: then he'll continue to give it to you. But it's

175
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: tempting to think I got the compact center. God, I'm satisfied. God,

176
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: you brought me Victoria. I'm happily married. You bless me.

177
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: That's going to cause us to get stagnant. If you're

178
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: not giving anything away, nothing new is going to come.

179
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: And whether or not you keep the blessing, the healing.

180
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: The favor the influence depends on what you do with it.

181
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: When you're always lifting people, encouraging someone making their life

182
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: better than blessings are always going to come to you.

183
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: I know this young lady that was raised in a

184
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: dysfunctional environment growing up. Her parents weren't around, and she

185
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: was taking advantage of and passed from foster home to

186
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: foster home. It was a very unfair situation that she

187
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: had no control over. By the grace of God, this

188
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: loving family took her in. They spoke life into her

189
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: and nurtured her. Instead of becoming a statistic bitter and angry. Today,

190
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: she's healthy and whole. She got married, graduated from college,

191
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: she has three beautiful children. She's extremely grateful. She knows

192
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: that's God's goodness that was protecting her and bringing the

193
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: right people. But she didn't stop with just being grateful.

194
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: She's constantly helping other young ladies that were like her,

195
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: mentoring them, having them over to her house, taking them shopping,

196
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: making them feel valuable and loved, telling them that how

197
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: they were raised doesn't determine who they are or where

198
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: they're going. What's she doing being a healer? She's not

199
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: just a grateful form or patient. She's not just saying

200
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: look what God has done for me. She's gone on

201
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: to step number two. She's become a physician. No wonder

202
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: she continues to see blessings and favor. She keeps giving

203
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: away what was given to her. One reason God could

204
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: bless her is he knew he could trust her to

205
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: take the rest and share it with others. He knew

206
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: she wouldn't stay a patient, she would become a position.

207
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: I wonder if we're not seeing healing, blessings favor increase

208
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: because we're not committed like her to give it away.

209
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: God is saying to us what he said to Abraham.

210
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: I will bless you if you will make a commitment

211
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: to be a blessing. I will restore you. I will

212
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: even make the enemy pay. I will take what was

213
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: meant for harm and turn it to your advantage if

214
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: you'll do like her and help restore others. I talked

215
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: to a lady whose son was killed in Iraq while

216
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: he was serving. She was so devastated she didn't think

217
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: she could go on. Month after month of grieving turned

218
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: into year after year. Bitter, depressed, angry, She couldn't understand

219
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: why it happened. She would hear me talking about how

220
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: life is not always going to make sense, but how

221
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: we have to keep moving forward, how you can't let

222
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: a season of morning turn into a lifetime of morning. Now.

223
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: I know that's not easy. I haven't been there, but

224
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: I know living depressed and bitter is only going to

225
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: pull you down and make it worse. When she would

226
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: hear me say that God is in control and that

227
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: he has new beginnings, she would get so angry. She

228
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: would scream at the television, Joe, you don't know what

229
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: I've been through. Deep down, she knew what she was

230
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: hearing was true, but the pain was so real. After

231
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: six years of listening week after week, she finally decided

232
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: to move forward. She got involved with the program that

233
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: helps veterans and people that have been wounded in the military.

234
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: She started a chapter in her hometown. She said, I

235
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: cannot tell you how blessed I am and how much

236
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: I have received from helping these families in need. She

237
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: ended by saying, I want to apologize for screaming at

238
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: you all those times. I thank god I couldn't hear it.

239
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: But here's my point. When she made the decision to

240
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: help others. That's when her healing came. As long as

241
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: she was bitter, angry, focused on how unfair life was,

242
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: nothing got better. It's when she decided to become a

243
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: physician to reach out to others. Then God gave her

244
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: beauty for ashes, joy and fulfillment like she never dreamed.

245
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: Is God waiting for you to be a blessing so

246
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: he can really bless you? Is he waiting for you

247
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: to give away healing, give away encouragement, make somebody else better? Then,

248
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: like this lady, He's going to take you to a

249
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: level that you've never imagined. Luke. Chapter twenty two, Jesus

250
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: said to Peter, Satan has tried to sist you like wheat,

251
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: but I have prayed for you that your faith would

252
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: not fail. When you have turned again, strengthen your brother.

253
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: Jesus was telling Peter that forces were trying to keep

254
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: him from his destiny, but he prayed for him and

255
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: Peter was going to make it. Then he said something significant.

256
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: When you have turned again. That means when you come

257
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: out of this trial, when you're on the other side, blessed, free, restored,

258
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: what are you to do strengthen your brother? He was

259
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: saying use what you've been through to help somebody else

260
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: get stronger. Every blessing, every healing, every breakthrough was not

261
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: designed just for you. It was to strengthen your brother.

262
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: You would think Jesus would say, Peter, when you get out,

263
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: go to the temple and celebrate, call some friends and

264
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: have a victory party. You're free, you're healed, you're blessed. Instead,

265
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: he said, when you come out, go strengthen someone. God

266
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: gave health back to my mother. You know what she's

267
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: been doing the last thirty seven years, strengthening people. God

268
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: gave me the grace to step up in pastor when

269
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: I didn't think I could do it. What I've been doing,

270
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: strengthen in others. Whatever God has brought you through, whatever

271
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: he's turned around, whatever he's made happen that you couldn't

272
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: make happen, that's an opportunity to strengthen someone. Maybe you've

273
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: been through a divorce, your heart was broken, you didn't

274
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: think you could go on, didn't look like there were

275
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: any good days up ahead. What you may not have

276
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: realized is, like with Peter, Jesus was praying for you

277
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: that your faith would not fail. It's one thing to

278
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: have people praying for you, have a friend praying for you,

279
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: a pastor, a priest, a rabbi. That's all good, but

280
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: the scripture says Jesus is at the right hand of

281
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: the Father praying for us. You wonder how you made

282
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: it through that tough time, how you made it through

283
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: that loss, how you broke that addiction that seemed like

284
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: it was permanent. Here's how the creator of the universe

285
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: was praying for you. We've all come through things that

286
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: should have stopped us. We've all seen good breaks that

287
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: we couldn't make happen, doors open that we couldn't open,

288
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: addictions broken that we couldn't break on our own. Now

289
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 1: we're on the other side. What's our responsibility. What are

290
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: we to do? Strengthen someone, Strengthen that person that has cancer,

291
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: Strengthen that friend that's going through a divorce, Strengthen that

292
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: coworker that's fighting an addiction. Strengthen that neighbor that's lonely.

293
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: We should live on a mission. I'm out to strengthen

294
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: somebody today. I'm going to encourage someone. I'm going to

295
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: help heal someone. God's brought me out. I'm not going

296
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: to stay a grateful form or patient. I'm going to

297
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: become a physics. God's blessed you. Now help somebody else

298
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: get blessed. God delivered you. Why don't you help them

299
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: get delivered? And yes, it's okay to stay a patient

300
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: for a little while. Of course, we all have difficulties

301
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 1: and fight battles. We need encouragement, people to lift us

302
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: when we fall, carry us when we're weak. There are

303
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: seasons when we're a patient. But when God turns it around,

304
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: when he brings us out. Now we're blessed, we're healed,

305
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: we meet the right person. We need to shift into

306
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: a different mode. Now I'm looking for somebody to strengthen.

307
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking for somebody to bless. I have a story

308
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: to share, I have encouragement to give. No more. I

309
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: need something. I'm a patient and it's not just a

310
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: grateful mode. God's been good to me. We have to

311
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: shift into this physician mode. Who can I bless? Who

312
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: can I help heal? Maybe my son was off court?

313
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: God turned him around. Lord, Thank you for that. Now

314
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: where's another son I can go after? Or God, you

315
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: gave us the compact center. You made a way when

316
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: I didn't see a way. Where is somebody I can

317
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: encourage with this. Where is a pastor I can call

318
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: that doesn't think he'll ever get his building. As long

319
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: as you let the blessings keep flowing, the encouragement, being

320
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: good to people, comforting them, helping them to overcome, then

321
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: the blessings will keep coming in, the healing will keep coming,

322
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: the right people, the joy, the fulfillment. Now, I'm not

323
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: saying you won't to have difficulties, but as you give

324
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: away what God's given you, as you strengthen others, you

325
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: will always have the strength that you need. But sometimes

326
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: we can live ingrown focused on ourselves. We're grateful, we

327
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: thank God for his goodness, but that's not enough. That's

328
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: not going to cause it to sustain. The real test

329
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: is are you strengthening someone? Are you taking time to

330
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: encourage people? Are you going out of your way to

331
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 1: be good to them? Maybe they need to be in

332
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: an uplifting environment. You go pick them up and bring

333
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: them to church. You just strengthened your brother. The truth

334
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: is none of us got to where we are on

335
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: our own. Somebody encouraged you. Somebody brought you to church.

336
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: Somebody took time to teach you, to train you Somebody

337
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: believed in you. They took a chance and gave you

338
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: a position. Somebody prayed for you. It may have been

339
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: a great great great grandmother. You've never even met them,

340
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: but they were instrumental in you being where you are today.

341
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: They helped you. Why don't you go out and help

342
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: somebody else. Keep giving away what God's given you, and

343
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: it will always come back. My father grew up in

344
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: a family that didn't have anything to do with God.

345
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: They were good people, but faith wasn't a part of

346
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: their life. In his teenage years, he was partying and

347
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: staying out all night, not doing well in school, but

348
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: he had a friend named Sam that was always talking

349
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: to him about the Lord. Sam would get to school

350
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: early and write scripture verses on the chalkboard. My father

351
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 1: was so embarrassed, but no matter how many times he

352
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: told Sam no, he wouldn't leave him alone, Sam stayed

353
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: after him. At the age of seventeen, Daddy was coming

354
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: home from a nightclub two o'clock in the morning. He

355
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: looked up at the stars and began to think about

356
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: God and what he would do with his life. The

357
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: next morning, he called Sam and said he wanted to

358
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: go to church. With him. The end of the service,

359
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: the pastor invited people to the front to receive Christ.

360
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: My father wanted to go, but he was too afraid.

361
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: Sam said, John, if you'll go, I'll go with you.

362
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: They walked down the aisle together and my father gave

363
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: his life to Christ. Fast forward some forty years later,

364
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: my father was a successful pastor with the church of

365
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: thousands known around the world. One night he went to

366
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: a friend's church across town to hear a special speaker.

367
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: He arrived late, so he sat in the back. He

368
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,959
Speaker 1: looked down the road and noticed this young man that

369
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: looked very troubled. He was planning on speaking to him

370
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: when it was over, but in the middle of the service,

371
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: the young man got up and walked out. My father

372
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: felt so strongly about it he got up and went

373
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: looking for him. He looked all over the lobby and

374
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: couldn't find him. He went out in the parking lot

375
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: and searched in search. He wasn't there. Came back in

376
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: and checked the restroom, opened the door. The young man

377
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: was standing there. He said, I know you don't know me,

378
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: but God has a plan for your life. He has

379
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: something for you to do. He sent me after you,

380
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: to let you know that he cares about you. The

381
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: young men started weeping and weeping. He was addicted to

382
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: so many drugs, so depressed that he was planning on

383
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: ending his life that night, but decided to go to

384
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: church one last time. By the grace of God, my

385
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: father was there. That night was a turning point, a

386
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: new beginning. The young man not only got free, but

387
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: he too became the pastor of a lord's church. Here's

388
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 1: my point. Forty years later, my father was still giving

389
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: away what had been given to him. If it had

390
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: not been for Sam, he would have missed his destiny.

391
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: My father wasn't just a grateful form or patient. He

392
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: didn't just go around saying, look what God has done

393
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: for me. He became a physician. He lived with this attitude,

394
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm on a mission. Sam tracked me down and changed

395
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: my life. Now I'm gonna track somebody else down and

396
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: help change their life. I'm going to strengthen my brother.

397
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: No wonder, my father lived with favor and influence God's goodness.

398
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: He kept letting what was given to him flow to others.

399
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: God knew if he would bless my father, he could

400
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: trust him to be a blessing. He knew if Sam

401
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: would be relentless and track him down, that my father

402
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: would live with that same attitude when it came to

403
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: helping others. Can God trust you to be blessed? Will

404
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: you pass it on and be a blessing? Can He

405
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: trust you with healing? Will you become a healer? Can

406
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: He trust you with influence, with new levels with freedom?

407
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: Will you let what he gives you flow out to others?

408
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: I believe he can. I know I'm looking at faithful, committed,

409
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: trustworthy people, not just grateful form or patience. I'm looking

410
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: at physicians. You may not realize it, but you're a healer.

411
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: You're a lifter, You're an encourager. You're a blesser. And

412
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: I believe and declare. As you strengthen your brothers, as

413
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: you strengthen your sisters, not only are they going to

414
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: rise higher, but you're going to rise higher. You're going

415
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: to see new levels of blessing, healing, influence, favor the

416
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, And if you

417
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: receive it, can you say amen?

418
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 2: Today?

419
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

420
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

421
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: Just say, Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come

422
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: into my heart. I'll make you my lord and savior. Friends,

423
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

424
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 1: born again. Get in a good Bible based church, and

425
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: keep God first place.

426
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 2: Sometimes the circumstances of life can be overwhelmingly negative. What

427
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: should we do when we experience these kinds of negative

428
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 2: reports and realities?

429
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: Our life is like a container. It can only hold

430
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: so much. When we allow negative things in, like worry, guilt,

431
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: and unforgiveness, that's taking up space for the good things

432
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: that belonged to you. That's why I wrote my book,

433
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: Empty Out the Negative. I'll show you how to get

434
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: rid of what's limiting you so you can live a victorious,

435
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: fulfilled life.

436
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: When you make room for joy, peace and faith, God

437
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: will fill you afresh.

438
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 2: And a news As our way of saying thank you

439
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: for your gift of any amount to the ministry, this month,

440
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: Joel and Victoria would like to send you this powerful book,

441
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: Empty out the Negative, empty out fear, and replace it

442
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 2: with faith.

443
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: My doctor, he said, I went in there and there

444
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 4: is no cancer in your body.

445
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 2: Empty out a hurt filled childhood and replace it with confidence.

446
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 2: So I took what Joel said and I physically replace

447
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: them with I am I'm strong, I am worthy.

448
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: I started saying those over and over and over.

449
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: Empty out broken relationships and find renewed love.

450
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 4: In a world that's just so full of so much

451
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 4: noise and negativity and hatred, and just to come and

452
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 4: have so much encouragement filled into you. You know, it's

453
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 4: something I've never had in my whole life.

454
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: Are you holding onto things that are weighing you down?

455
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: It's time to empty that out so you can live

456
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: a positive, faith filled line.

457
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: Joel and I pray for you every day. We're believing

458
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,560
