1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

We'd love to have you be a part 10 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: of one of our services. I'd like to start with 11 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: something funny and I heard about this senior citizen. He 12 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: was driving down the freeway in his brand new Corvette 13 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: with the top down, going eighty miles an hour when 14 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: he saw flashing red lights in his review mirror from 15 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: a state trooper. Without thinking about it, he floored it 16 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,319 Speaker 1: took it up to one hundred miles an hour. He 17 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: heard the sirens behind him, and finally came to his senses. 18 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: Pulled over. It's an officer. I'm so sorry. I don't 19 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: know what I was doing, the trooper said. Listen, it's 20 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,279 Speaker 1: Friday four. My shift is over in thirty minutes. If 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: you'll tell me a reason you were speeding that I've 22 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: never heard before. I'll let you go. The man thought 23 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: about it, said officer. Years ago, my wife ran off 24 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: with a state trooper and I thought you were bringing 25 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: her back. He said, have a great weekend. Say it 26 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 27 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: what it says I am. I have what it says 28 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 29 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: Today I will be taught the word of God. I 30 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 31 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 32 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 33 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: break the chains. We all have things that are trying 34 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: to hold us back. Can be fear, addictions, negative things 35 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: people have said now that's damaging our self image and 36 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: keeping us from believing who we are. Sometimes it's mistakes 37 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: we've made. We keep rehearsing it, living down on ourselves 38 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: and the past is restricting us. Maybe we're dealing with 39 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: an illness, child's off course, or can't seem to get 40 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: ahead in our finances. We want to move forward, but 41 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: it's like these forces keep pulling us back, and it's 42 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: easy to get comfortable being constrained, to learn to live 43 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: with things that are limiting us. Just accept this is 44 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: who I am, chain to this addiction, or chain to 45 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: my past, chain to how I was raised. But God 46 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: did not create us to live bound. One reason Jesus came, died, 47 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: and rose again was so you could be free, not 48 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 1: partially free, not most of the way free. The scripture 49 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: says you will be unquestionably free. That means there's no doubt. 50 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: You're not having to fake it pretend or you're healthy, 51 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: your whole, your children are excelling, You're living a victorious life. 52 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: And yes there will be seasons of struggling in times 53 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: where you feel restricted. Nothing is improving, but you have 54 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: to keep this down in your spirit. Those chains are 55 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: not permanent. That depression is not how your story ends. 56 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: Living in light, low self esteem, a temper you can't control. 57 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: Those powers may be too much for you, but they 58 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: are not too much for our God. Sometimes we've done 59 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: all we can, we prayed, we've stayed in faith, but 60 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: nothing's changing. It's tempting to feel discouraged or nothing more 61 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: that I can do. That's when the Most High is 62 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: going to step in and do what you couldn't do. 63 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: He's the chain breaker. He came to take off of 64 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: you what the enemy put on you to lose, change, 65 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: to break the bondages. X two says God raised Jesus 66 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: up having loosed the chains of death, for it was 67 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: not possible that he could be held by it. Because 68 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: you belong to Christ, you need to have that attitude. 69 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: It's not possible that these chains can hold me. The 70 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: same spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives on 71 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: the inside of you. Don't get comfortable being constrained. Don't 72 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: accept limitations as your lot in life. The forces that 73 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: are for you are greater than those that are against you. 74 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: And Joel, I think I'll always deal with this addictioner 75 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: my child will always be off course. I can't get ahead. 76 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: We've always been broke at a disadvantage. Try a different approach. 77 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: It's not possible that these chains can stay, for I 78 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: know who my God is. It's not possible that this addiction, 79 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: this trouble at work, this fear, keeps me bound. For 80 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: my God is greater. My God is stronger, He's more powerful, 81 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: and he's fighting my battles. You have to be free 82 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: on the inside before you'll be free on the outside. 83 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: Victory starts in our thinking. As long as we believe, man, 84 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: I'm stuck here, I'm lonely, I'm at a disadvantage, then 85 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna stay there. Give God something to work with 86 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: instead of complaining about what's holding your back. Turn it around. Lord. 87 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: I want to thank you that you're the chain breaker, 88 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: that every force that's holding me back is being broken, 89 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: that I will live and not die, that I am 90 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: free from this addiction. That my children are mighty. In 91 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: the land March chapter five, there was a man that 92 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: was deranged. He had lost his mental health. God so 93 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: bad people couldn't control him. They had to send him away, 94 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: and he was living among the tombs in this desolate area. 95 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: They tried chaining him up, but he was too strong 96 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: and kept getting loose. He was so troubled night and 97 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: day he'd wander around, constantly cutting himself. And this wasn't 98 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: the man just going crazy. The scripture says, an unclean 99 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: spirit had come into the man. This was forces of 100 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: darkness trying to keep him from his destiny. Look at 101 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: how the enemy works. This man is bound, tormented, living 102 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: in a graveyard. Seems like he was stuck. This power 103 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: was too much for him. But the scripture says, Jesus 104 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: came to destroy the works of the enemy. You are 105 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: not powerless against forces that come against you. The power 106 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: in you is greater than any power that will try 107 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: to stop you. These forces come against us, all trying 108 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: to bind us, cause us to live troubled, worried, addicted. 109 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: The good news is the enemy doesn't have the final says, 110 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: don't believe those lies that you will always be that way. 111 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: God is watching over you. He sees what's happening. He 112 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: knows the struggles, the unfair things, and what you can't overcome. 113 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: He's not going to leave you stranded. He's not going 114 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: to let you stay bound. It may be a Friday 115 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: in your life, but Sunday is coming. See for three 116 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: days it looked like Jesus was defeated. He was crucified 117 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: by the soldiers. Satan finally thought he stopped him, had 118 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: him bound up, chained. I can see the forces of 119 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: darkness having a big party and celebrating their victory. There's music, dancing, shouting. 120 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: But one of the demons looks over and sees this 121 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: figure coming toward them. His eyes are like fire, his 122 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: hair white like wool, his face shines like the sun. 123 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: They're confused, They think, who is this person? Jesus smiles 124 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: and says, I'm back. He didn't just defeat the enemy, 125 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: but he took the keys to death. In hell he 126 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: said I was dead, but I am alive, forever born. 127 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: The good news is God has the key to every 128 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: chain the enemy trues to put on you. There's not 129 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: a bondage. He can't free you from. Not a problem. 130 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: He can't turn around, not a sickness. He can't heal, 131 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: not an addiction. He can't break, not a fire he 132 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: can't bring you out of, just as the three Hebrew teenagers. 133 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: Not a red sea. He can't part, just as Moses. 134 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: Not a giant he can't defeat, just as David. Not 135 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: a door he can't open, just as Paul and Silas. 136 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: You are not doing life by yourself. The Most High 137 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: God is working behind the scenes, fighting for you, loosing chains, 138 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: bringing victory. It's significant this man was living in a cemetery. 139 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: A cemetery represents dead things, to place that we may visit, 140 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: but we're not supposed to live there. Sometimes, like him, 141 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: we're living in the cemetery of our famiailures, reliving all 142 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: the mistakes we've made, the cemetery of our hurts, focused 143 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: on who did us wrong, who walked away, the cemetery 144 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: of bad breaks, the doors that closed. Why do I 145 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: come down with this illness? As long as your thoughts 146 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: are in the cemetery, dwelling on dead things, you're going 147 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: to stay stuck. You have to get out of that 148 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: graveyard mentality, come over to a place of faith, of hope, 149 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: of victory. Enemy would love to keep you in the cemetery. 150 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: Focus on all the negative, dwelling on the disappointments. Do 151 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: yourself a favor. Get out of that graveyard. Quit reliving 152 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: all the discouraging things, thinking about how impossible it is. 153 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: You may visit there every once in a while, but 154 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: you can't stay there. When Mary was at the tomb 155 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: on that Sunday morning looking for Jesus, she was so 156 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: distraught and upset. An angel appear and said, Mary, why 157 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: do you seek the living among the dead. He was saying, 158 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: you're at the wrong place. If you're looking for Jesus, 159 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: He's not in the grave anymore. He has risen. The 160 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: grave was only temporary. You got to go to where 161 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: he is. Some of us are seeking the living among 162 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: the dead. We want joy, peace, new relationships, But we're 163 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: looking in dead places what used to be, what didn't 164 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: work out, mistakes that we've made. Nothing will change until 165 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: you come out of that cemetery. Shift your thoughts to 166 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: things that are positive, hopeful, Start expecting some turnarounds. Start 167 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: believing that your Sunday is coming. Start declaring that the 168 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: chain breaker is on the way. Faith is what causes 169 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: God to work. Verse four says no person could bind 170 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: this man, not even with chains, For when they locked 171 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: him up, he was so strong he would snap the chains. 172 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: I always saw that as negative, and he was so 173 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: drained he couldn't be chained. But maybe God was showing 174 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: us a principle that no person can change you. That 175 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: no matter what they did, they can't keep you bound. 176 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: No matter what they said, they can't stop your destiny. 177 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: No matter how unfair it was, it can't hold you back. 178 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: There is a power in you that will break change, 179 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: a force that will supersede what should stop you. Now, 180 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: quit believing the limitations that people try to put on you. 181 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: They love to chain you up to how they see you. 182 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: You're not talented, enough, smart enough, attractive enough. You made 183 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: too many mistakes, you're too far off course, you're too sick. 184 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: Those are chains that will try to limit your destiny. 185 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: But no person can change you. What they say doesn't 186 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: determine who you are. They didn't breathe life into you. 187 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: They didn't plan your days for good. They didn't create 188 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: you in their own image. God did. He called you, 189 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: He equipped you, he empowered you, He crowned you with 190 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: his favor. Break out of those chains of how people 191 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: are trying to define you. The only power they have 192 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: over you is the power that you give them. If 193 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: you believe what they said, then it can become a reality. 194 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: Why don't you tune that out and believe what God 195 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: says about you. They tell you you're not attractive, break 196 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: that chain. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am 197 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: a masterpiece. You're not talented, you'll never be successful. I 198 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: can do all things through Christ. I am the head 199 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: and not the tell You've made too many mistakes. You 200 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: don't deserve to be blessed. I am forgiven, I am redeemed, 201 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: I am worthy. That's how you break chains. Well, yeah, 202 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: but you've had so many setbacks. You've gone through lass. 203 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: It's all downhill from here. Don't stay in that graveyard. 204 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: Don't let them chain you in the cemetery. That's not 205 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: where you live. Lord, I thank you that you have beauty. 206 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: For these ashes, that what was meant for harm, You're 207 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: turning to my advantage. No person can change you, no 208 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: force of darkness can hold you back. You were a 209 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: child of the most i God. When my father went 210 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: to be with the Lord and I stepped up to 211 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: pastor the church, there were all these chains trying to 212 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: stop me. And sometimes it's our own thoughts that are 213 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: trying to lock us up. Joel, you don't know how 214 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: to minister. You're not qualified, you're not talented enough. You're 215 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: not as smart as your father. Those were chains trying 216 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: to keep me from my destiny. I overheard others saying 217 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: he's not as good as his father. I don't think 218 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: the church is gonna make it. People were trying to 219 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: put chains on me. Newspaper here in town did a 220 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: big article on my father's passing. At one point they said, 221 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: the worst thing that could happen is for one of 222 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: the sons to take over. They listened all these examples 223 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: of where it hadn't worked, and thought, thank you so 224 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: much for your encouragement. But here's the key. No person 225 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: can keep you bound. They may put a chain on you, 226 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: but you have the power to break that chain. Greater 227 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: is he that in you than he that is trying 228 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: to stop you. You may be dealing with some chains now, 229 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: people trying to limit you. You attempted to live in 230 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: the cemetery, rehearsing all the negative. But I believe today 231 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: there's a chain breaking anoint in coming. You're gonna feel 232 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: a power that you've never felt to break chains of depression, 233 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: chains of insecurity, chains of lack and struggle. You're about 234 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: to see a supernatural release, a release into freedom, into abundance, 235 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: into joy, into great relations ships. It's the power of 236 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: the most High breathing on your life, thrusting you into 237 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: your destiny. My father was raised very poor. They were farmers, 238 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: and they lost everything during the Great Depression, and as 239 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: seventeen years old that he gave his life to Christ, 240 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: the first one in the family. He felt God calling 241 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: him to become a pastor. As he told his parents 242 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: he was going to leave home and go out and 243 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: start ministring. They meant well, but They said, John, you 244 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: don't know how to minister. All you know how to 245 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: do is work on the farm. You're going to get 246 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: out there and fail. You better stay here with us. 247 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: They put this chain on him, locked him up to 248 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: who they thought he was. People will try to define 249 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: you into the version of how they see you. The 250 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: problem is they can't see the greatness God put in you. 251 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: They can't see the gifts and talents. They can't see 252 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: the books, the businesses, the end influence, the abundance. They'll 253 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: try to lock you up into what they see right now, 254 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: but they're not seeing the full you. They're seeing a 255 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: partial version of who God made you to be. Don't 256 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: let their limited view keep you from growing, stretching, believing, dreaming. 257 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: They may try to chain you. Good news is no 258 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: person can keep you bound. You can break the change. 259 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: The power God put in you is a chain breaking power. 260 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: It's greater than any force that's trying to stop you. Now, 261 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: you have to do your part. You can't live with 262 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: the defeated mentality, believe in the lies that you've reached 263 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: your destiny. And man, I'll never get well, I'll never 264 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: own my own house. I don't think i'll ever meet 265 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: the right person, do yourself a favor. Come out of 266 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: that graveyard. Quit looking for the living among the dead. 267 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: God didn't bring you this far to leave you. You 268 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't be hearing this if you weren't about to break 269 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: some change. You have to rise up. I know circumstances 270 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: may have put you into cemetery. Someone tried to lock 271 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: you up. The right attitude is, I'm not staying here. 272 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: I am coming into freedom. I'm coming into wholeness, into health, 273 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: into abundance, into victory. Yes we go through some fridays, 274 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: but the chains can't hold you. Sunday is coming. Nineteen 275 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: ninety six, a star basketball player was drafted right out 276 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: of high school into the NBA by the Charlotte Hornets. 277 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: He was so excited dream come true, but before he 278 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: ever played a game, the Hornets told him that he 279 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: was of no use to them, that he wasn't what 280 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: they wanted. After all, they traded him to the Los 281 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 1: Angeles Lakers. This young man was taken aback. He believed 282 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: he was good enough to play, but their opinions were 283 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: like change, you don't have what it takes and not 284 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: talented enough, You're not gonna make it. In the NBA. 285 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: You can't stop people from putting chains on you, but 286 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: you can break the change. You have the power to 287 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: unlock what they said, to dismiss it, to not dwell 288 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: on it. That's what he did. He didn't pay it 289 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,719 Speaker 1: any attention. His attitude was your opinion doesn't determine who 290 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: I am. I am not limited by how you define me. 291 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: I am who God says I am. Eighteen years later, 292 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: after winning five World Championships, making the All Star Team 293 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: eighteen times in a row, four times, the most valuable 294 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: player two times, the scoring champion of the league, Kobe 295 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,719 Speaker 1: Bryant posted a picture on social media. He was holding 296 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: his jersey. He had a pleasant smile. The caption read, 297 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: eighteen years ago, I was told I was of no use. 298 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: Don't let the change people put on you keep you 299 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 1: from your greatness. Break out of those chains, Get out 300 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: of that graveyard thinking can't do it. Too big, challenge, 301 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: too great. You and God are a majority. The chain 302 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: breaker lives in you, the power that raised Christ from 303 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: the dead. Think about how all the forces of darkness 304 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: tried to keep Jesus in the great The enemy did 305 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: his best, but his best was not enough. God is 306 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: fighting for you. His power is stronger than what someone said, 307 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: stronger than a chain of addiction, a chain of anger, 308 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: a chain of lack. The enemy wouldn't be trying to 309 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: chain you if he didn't know you were a threat. 310 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: He wouldn't try to hold you back, if he didn't 311 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: know you have greatness in you, that you're destined to 312 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: set new standards, to take your family where they've never been. 313 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: This man was living in the graveyards, and to try 314 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: to ease the pain, he would cut himself, using rocks 315 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: to scrape, to injure blood, infection, scarring. We may not 316 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: cut ourselves physically, but sometimes we're cutting ourselves mentally, cutting 317 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: ourselves down, devaluing who we are, thinking we're not enough, 318 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: this negative recording playing in our mind. You would think, 319 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: since the enemy has this man isolated in the graveyard 320 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: his mind tormented, he would leave him alone, that that 321 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: would be enough. But the scripture says he comes to 322 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: still kill and destroy. Jesus said, don't get me mixed 323 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: up with him. I came that you might have life 324 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: and have it more abundantly, not just make it through, 325 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: not just get your sanity back, but to have an 326 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: abundance of joy, an abundance of peace, a great family, 327 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,479 Speaker 1: seeing dreams come to pass. This man had a family 328 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: back home, no doubt, children that loved to see him. 329 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: This mother was distraught. The man she loved is not 330 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: in his right mind. I can see his parents weeping, heartbroken, 331 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,959 Speaker 1: seeing their little boy. The sun they raised now in 332 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: this terrible condition. Sometimes we can't change it on our own. 333 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: We prayed, we believed, but it hasn't worked out. In 334 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: this scripture, there were times that the disciples prayed, they 335 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 1: did what they were supposed to, but the person didn't 336 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: get well. Jesus had to come. The good news is 337 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: God knows when we've done all we can. We tried 338 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: to break it, but it didn't happen. We did our best, 339 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: We stood in faith, but nothing is improving. We can 340 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: feel hopeless. What more can we do? This is the 341 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: way that family fell well. Jesus was in Galilee teaching 342 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: the people. At the end of a long day, he 343 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: said to the disciples, let us cross to the other 344 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: side of the lake. They were tired, weed to rest, 345 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: but Jesus had an agenda that they knew nothing about. 346 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: The other side of the lake was the tombs where 347 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: this man lived while were they were sailing that night. 348 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: You remember the huge storm they ran. Woke Jesus up. 349 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: Don't you care that we perish? We're about to die. 350 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: Jesus stood up, spoke to the storm. Everything calmed down. 351 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: In a few hours they reached the shore. Jesus got 352 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,719 Speaker 1: out of the boat. The first thing this man came running, 353 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: no clothes, bleeding, hair disheveled, then frell He fell at Jesus' feet. 354 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: Jesus said to the unclean spirit, come out of this man. 355 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: In the unseen realm. Chains were broken, forces of darkness 356 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: left him instantly he was healed. The scripture says they 357 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: saw the man sitting fully, closed, totally saying, in his 358 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: right mind, look at the goodness of God. For years 359 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: he's been deranged. Then the chain breaker shows up. Now 360 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 1: he's whole. Now he's free. Now he's going back to 361 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: his family. I can see his children running out to 362 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: hug him. Daddy's home, his wife weeping. His parents never 363 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: thought they had see this day. But God is fighting 364 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: for us when we can't fight for ourselves. He's going 365 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: to break chains that you couldn't break on your own. 366 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: It's gonna happen sooner than later. Things that have bogged 367 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: you down and taken your joy, cost your heartache. Your 368 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: time is coming. After the men was healed, Jesus got 369 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: back on the boat and went back to Galilee. In 370 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: other words, he had traveled all night across the lake, 371 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: endured a storm just to get to this man that 372 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: couldn't get free by himself. God knows when it's too much. 373 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: He's not gonna leave you helpless. You may have done 374 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: what you can, but you can't seem to get free 375 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: from the trouble, the bitterness, the addiction. Can I encourage you? 376 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: God is crossing the lake right now. He hears your 377 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: christ he sees the pain, the injustice. He's on his way. 378 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: He's going to break change that you couldn't break. It's 379 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: not that you didn't have enough faith, you didn't work 380 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: hard enough, you made too many mistakes. No, some change 381 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: only God can break. Other times he'll give you the 382 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: power to do it. But when you can't, don't lose heart. 383 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: The chain breaker is coming. If Jesus will spend all 384 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: night crossing a lake just to get to this one man, 385 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: He'll do what he needs to do to get to you. 386 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: He's not going to leave you lonely, broken, addicted. He's 387 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: headed your way. Peace is coming, freedom is coming, Joy 388 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: is coming, Health is coming. This is one of the 389 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: prince we celebrate on Resurrection Sunday. We couldn't free ourselves 390 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: from our sin. We were separated from God. There was 391 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: no way for us to be redeemed, restored. Jesus didn't 392 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: cross the lake, but he went to a cross. He 393 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: gave his life for you, for me. Nobody took it 394 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: from him. He laid it down. The nails didn't hold 395 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 1: him on the cross. Love held him on the cross. 396 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: He defeated the enemy once and for all, paid the 397 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: price for our sins. He went to the grave, didn't 398 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: stay there, came out alive with all power in his hand. 399 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: Just like he rescued this man who was stuck. God 400 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: rescued us. Now we can live free and hold and victorious. 401 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: Are there chains holding you back today? Have you gotten 402 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: comfortable being constrained? Learning to live with things that are limiting? You? 403 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: Don't settle there, don't live in that cemetery looking for 404 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: the living among the dead. Get your passion back. You 405 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: are more powerful than you think. The spirit of the 406 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: most tied God is on the inside of you. Break 407 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: those chains of what people have spoken over you. You are 408 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: not who they say you are. They don't control your destiny. 409 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: But Joel, I've tried to do this in the past, 410 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: I wasn't able to. This is a new day. You 411 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: are stepping into a chain breaking anointing. You're gonna feel 412 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: a supernatural power to do what you couldn't do before, 413 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: where God releases you from what's holding you back. Now 414 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: I believe and declare chains of addictions are being broken 415 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: right now. Chains of defeat, mediocrity, lack or being broken, 416 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: chains of insecurity, generational limitations, family baggage. Those chains are breaking. 417 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: I declare freedom, wholeness, abundance, the fullness of your destiny 418 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: in Jesus' name, and if you receive it, can you 419 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: say amen? I'd like to give you an opportunity to 420 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: make Jesus the Lord of your life. Would you pray 421 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll repent of my sins. 422 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 423 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 424 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: born again. We'd love to send you some free information 425 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: on your new walk with the Lord.

We 430 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: can feel so out of touch that we no longer 431 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 2: recognize ourselves. 432 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 1: Life has a way of changing us. At one time, 433 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: we were outgoing and excited about our dreams. But when 434 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: we go through disappointments and people do us wrong, it's 435 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: easy to lose that positive, passionate person that we used 436 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: to be.
