They were at a church function and somebody 39 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 5: asked them the secret of their success. The man told 40 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 5: how he always treated his wife with respect and how 41 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 5: he took her on trips around the world. He said, 42 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 5: in fact, for our twenty fifth wedding anniversary, I took 43 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 5: her to Beijing, China. Everybody politely applaused. Then somebody asked, 44 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 5: what did you do for your fiftieth wedding anniversary? He said, 45 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 5: I went back and picked her up. Tell it like 46 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 5: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what 47 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 5: it says. I am. I have what it says I have. 48 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 5: I can do what it says I can do. Today 49 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 5: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 50 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 5: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 51 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 5: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 52 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 5: I want to talk to you today about a surge 53 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 5: is coming. Watching the news reports about the recent hurricanes, 54 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 5: even more than the high winds, the experts talked about 55 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 5: the storm surge. They were very concerned about how the 56 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 5: water was going to come rushing out of its banks 57 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 5: and flood areas that were normally dry. And what's interesting 58 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 5: is before the storm surge, the water is pulled back. 59 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 5: It doesn't just start from where it was and didn't 60 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 5: go forward the winds. The pressure from the storm causes 61 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 5: the water to recede from its banks. They showed a 62 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 5: picture in Florida of hundreds of yards of dry ground 63 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 5: where there was normally, ocean looked very strange. You could 64 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 5: see the lifeguard stands the docks, but the water was missing. 65 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 5: You could think the experts must have been wrong. The 66 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 5: water didn't surge, it didn't increase, it decreased, But at 67 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 5: some point, just like they predicted, the water came rushing 68 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 5: back with incredible force, going where it had never gone. 69 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 5: And in the same way, God has a storm surge. 70 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 5: But it's a good aim. When you go through a storm, 71 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 5: you feel like you're being pulled back. You know what 72 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 5: God promised that he would use it for your good. 73 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 5: You know what's been predicted. But in the storm, you're 74 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 5: going the wrong way. You're being decreased. It's not like 75 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 5: what he said. But what you can't see is a 76 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 5: surge is coming, a surge of favor, a surge of strength, 77 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 5: a surge of healing. If you will stay in faith, 78 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 5: God will always follow up the storm with a surge. 79 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 5: The enemy doesn't have the last word. God does. That 80 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 5: difficulty is not going to leave you pulled back. It's 81 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 5: not going to leave you less than it's going to 82 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 5: surge you ahead. That opposition is not going to keep 83 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 5: you from your destiny. It's going to propel you into 84 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 5: a new level of your destiny. Now, don't complain about 85 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 5: the storm. Without the storm, you wouldn't see the surge. 86 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 5: You wouldn't see the new level, the promotion, the new house. 87 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 5: The storm is setting you up to go where you 88 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 5: have not gone. And when you have a big storm, 89 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 5: that means a big surge is coming. The stronger the winds, 90 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 5: the stronger the opposition, the stronger the surge. The more 91 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 5: you get pulled back, the more you're going to be 92 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 5: shot forward. The more people try to push you down, 93 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 5: the higher you're going to go. The key is stay 94 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 5: in faith when you're being pulled back. Keep a good attitude. 95 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 5: When you're doing the right thing but the wrong thing 96 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 5: is happening. Every voice will tell you it's never going 97 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 5: to improve. You're stuck. Just accept it. You'll never get well, 98 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 5: you'll never meet the right person. The circumstances may look permanent, 99 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 5: don't be fooled. A surge is coming. Something is happening 100 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 5: that you can't seein that are trying to stop you, 101 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 5: the forces that are so strongly against you. All you 102 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 5: can see is how it's pushing you back, how it's 103 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 5: limiting you, how's causing you to heartache. What you can't 104 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 5: see is those same winds, the same opposition, is creating 105 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 5: the conditions for a surge. What was meant for harm, 106 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 5: God is turning for good. It's just a matter of 107 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 5: time before you see a surge of God's favor. As 108 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,679 Speaker 5: much as you were pulled back, it's going to propel 109 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 5: you that much more ahead. You're not going to just 110 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 5: come out to where you were. That wouldn't be a surge. 111 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 5: That would be normal. The water return, no big deal. 112 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 5: God always makes the enemy pay for bringing the trouble. 113 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 5: God never brings you out the same. God's idea of 114 00:06:54,279 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 5: restoring is to bring you out increased, promoted, healthier, better relationships. 115 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 5: You may be in a difficult time, you feel like 116 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 5: you're being pulled back. This is not the time to 117 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 5: get discouraged. I don't understand it. Why did this happen? 118 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 4: You know? 119 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 5: The right attitude is I'm coming back stronger, father, thinking 120 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 5: that a surge is on the way, thinking that you're 121 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 5: propelling me to a new level. That's what happened to 122 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 5: us at Lakewood. My father was the pastor here for 123 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 5: forty years. In nineteen ninety nine, he had a heart attack, 124 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 5: and was suddenly taken away and we were in a storm. 125 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 5: We didn't see it coming. My father had never raised 126 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 5: anyone up to take over the church. I felt like 127 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 5: I was supposed to do it, but I'd only ministered 128 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 5: one time. I was nervous and afraid, but I took 129 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 5: that step of faith. All the critics said that Lakewood 130 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 5: would never make it without my father. The newspaper wrote 131 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 5: an article about all these large churches where there was 132 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,239 Speaker 5: a strong leader life my dad that either left or died, 133 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 5: and they talked about how all those churches fell. One 134 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 5: article said the worst thing that could happen is for 135 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 5: one of the sons to take over. I thought they 136 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 5: must have known my brother Paul. But all the circumstances 137 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 5: said we were stuck. We had been pulled back, decreased. 138 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 5: But when you stay in faith, the storm will always 139 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 5: be followed with the surge. We thought, if we could 140 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 5: just maintain what my parents had built, we would be 141 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 5: doing good. But God doesn't bring you out the same. 142 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 5: The winds that were meant to stop us, to push 143 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 5: us back, God shifted the winds and instead they propelled 144 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 5: us forward. The surge brought us to the compact center 145 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 5: the surge increased the congregation. The same winds that were 146 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 5: meant to stop you will be the winds God uses 147 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 5: to propel you. The enemy minute for harm, but God 148 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 5: shifted the winds. The pulling back is temporary. The decrease 149 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 5: is a sign you're about to go where you've never been. 150 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 5: The enemy wouldn't be fighting you so hard if he 151 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 5: didn't know. There wasn't something amazing in front of you. 152 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 5: You may be in the storm. Stay encouraged. The surge 153 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 5: is coming on my computer at home. I have a 154 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 5: surge protector, so if there are spikes in the power, 155 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,599 Speaker 5: it won't damage my computer. And this is helpful for equipment. 156 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 5: But too many people have a surge protector on their mind. 157 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 5: Their thinking is keeping them from seeing a surge of 158 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 5: God's favor. Well, I'll never get over this sickness, Joel, 159 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 5: I've had it so long. These people at work don't 160 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 5: like me. I'll never be promoted. My house got flooded, 161 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 5: I'll never get ahead. Do yourself a favor. Get rid 162 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 5: of your surge protector, thinking of all the reasons it's 163 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 5: not going to happen. The storm may be powerful, but 164 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 5: our God is all powerful. If you will take the 165 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 5: limits off of him. Start believing for increase, talking like 166 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 5: it's going to happen, thanking him that it's on the way. 167 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 5: That's your faith being released. That's what allows God to 168 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 5: show you a surge of his goodness. The scripture says, 169 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 5: God is a very present help in trouble, and we 170 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 5: know that God is always with us, but this infers 171 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 5: in times of difficulty, God is very present. You will 172 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 5: never see the fullness of who God is if you're 173 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 5: in the light all the time. It's in the darkness. 174 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 5: God is most present in the difficulties, in the storms. 175 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 5: You may not see what he's doing, may not feel 176 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 5: like he's there. This is what faith is all about. 177 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 5: You have to say, God, I don't understand it. I 178 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 5: feel like I'm being pulled back. But God, I know 179 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 5: you're right here with me. I believe you're fighting my battles. 180 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 5: I believe you're bigger than this sickness. I believe a 181 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 5: surge of your goodness is coming my way. The Psalmist said, 182 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 5: when darkness overtakes, the righteous light will come bursting in. 183 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 5: It's not going to happen gradually. When you've been overcome 184 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 5: by darkness, by negative medical report by people trying to 185 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 5: stop you. It's going to happen suddenly, suddenly, a surge 186 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 5: of favor, Suddenly, a surge of healing. You didn't see 187 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 5: it coming. One moment you were struggling, trying to get 188 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 5: back on your feet, and suddenly one contract, one promotion, 189 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 5: one good, great, and you have more than enough. One 190 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 5: moment you were discouraged. You didn't see how it could 191 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 5: work out, and suddenly the right people showed up. Suddenly 192 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 5: things changed in your favor. What happened The light came 193 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 5: bursting in. You may have a lot coming against you, 194 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 5: forces trying to stop you. God is saying you've been 195 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 5: pulled back long enough. It's time for your surge. God 196 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 5: is about to propel you into a new level. He's 197 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 5: going to propel you out of sickness into good health, 198 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 5: propel you out of lack into abundance, propel you out 199 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 5: of injustice into honor, influence, new opportunities. Get ready, the 200 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 5: surge is coming. In the scripture, Job saw this surge. 201 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 5: Everything was going great, life was good. When the bottom 202 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 5: fell out, he faced a huge storm. He lost his business, 203 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 5: lost his family, lost his health. He had boils all 204 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 5: over his body was very painful. And what's interesting is 205 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 5: Job was a good man. He honored God. He lived 206 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 5: a life of excellence and integrity. I wish I could 207 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 5: tell you if you did all the right things, you 208 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 5: wouldn't have any storm. But that's not the truth. Storms 209 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 5: come to every person. The good news is for every storm, 210 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,239 Speaker 5: God has a surge. And we don't like the storms, 211 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 5: but God uses difficulties to push us to a new level. 212 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 5: He won't let you go through something that he can't 213 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 5: bring good out of it. And the reason we don't 214 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 5: see the good all the time is we get negative 215 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 5: better God, I was doing the right thing. Why did 216 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 5: I come down with this illness? Why did my child 217 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 5: get off course? Why did these people turn on me? 218 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 5: We're never going to understand why God's ways are not 219 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 5: our ways. But if you will stay in faith, that 220 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 5: storm is not going to leave you pulled back. It's 221 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 5: going to propel you ahead. When Job's wife saw everything 222 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 5: he was going through, how unfair it was, she said, Job, 223 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 5: just curse God and die. She was saying, in effect, Job, 224 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 5: you're a good man, You've done the right thing, and 225 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 5: this is what happens. It's easy to make a judgment 226 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 5: based on one season of your life because of one storm, 227 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 5: one divorce, one betrayal, one bad break. It's easy to 228 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 5: lose our passion, give up on our dreams, live bitter. 229 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 5: But what you're going through is not permanent. It's just 230 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 5: a season. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy 231 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 5: comes in the morning. Every person goes through night seasons, 232 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 5: discouraging seasons, unfair seasons. If you were never pulled back, 233 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 5: you couldn't be shot ahead. You have to remind yourself 234 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 5: it's just a season. It's not the rest of your life. 235 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 5: Don't make a judgment based on something that's temporary. The 236 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 5: storm may be difficult, but the surge is coming, the 237 00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 5: new relationship, the new opportunities, the new beginnings go. God 238 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 5: wouldn't be pulling you back if he wasn't about to 239 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 5: propel you forward. And in one sense, Job had a 240 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,479 Speaker 5: good reason to be negative, discouraged. Nobody would have faulted him. 241 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 5: But in chapter ten, Job said, God, I know you 242 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 5: have granted me favor in the middle of the difficulty. 243 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 5: He wasn't complaining, he wasn't bitter. He was saying, I 244 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 5: know favor is coming. I may be pulled back now, 245 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 5: but I know my surge is on the way. He 246 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 5: didn't make a judgment based on one storm. He knew 247 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 5: that was a chapter in his life, not the whole book. 248 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 5: The scripture talks about how God has written every day 249 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 5: of our life in his book. When we go through things, 250 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 5: we don't understand, things that are not fair. It's easy 251 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 5: to get stuck on that page and think that's the 252 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 5: way it's always going to be. But can I encourage you? 253 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 5: That's just to chapter. That's not your whole book. You 254 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 5: have to turn the page. If you'll keep moving forward, 255 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 5: being your best in spite of what didn't work out, 256 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 5: in spite of how unfair it was, you will come 257 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 5: to another chapter, a chapter that has a surge already 258 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 5: lined up, a sudden increase of God's favor, a chapter 259 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 5: where the light comes bursting in, a chapter where the God, 260 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 5: who is very present help in trouble, doesn't just show up, 261 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 5: but he shows out. He does more than you can imagine. 262 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 5: One day you'll look back and say, God, I didn't 263 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 5: like it. The storm was difficult, But without the storm, 264 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 5: I wouldn't have seen the surge. I wouldn't have seen 265 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 5: the new beginning, the new levels, the new relationships. God 266 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 5: didn't just bring Job out, He made the enemy pain. 267 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 5: Job came out with twice what he had before, the 268 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 5: opposition he had twice, the cattle twice, the sheep twice, 269 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 5: the joy twice, the strength. He got his health back. 270 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 5: The scripture says after this Job lived one hundred and 271 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 5: forty years and enjoyed his great great grandchildren. Notice after 272 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 5: the storm, he came out with double and he went 273 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 5: on to live a long, healthy, faith filled life. But 274 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 5: when we think of Job, many times we think he 275 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 5: got a bad book, he got a raw deal. He 276 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 5: had to endure all that suffering. The truth is it 277 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 5: wasn't his whole life. Commentary say it was a nine 278 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 5: month period. We hear all about the suffering of Job. 279 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 5: It was less than a year. It was a season. 280 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 5: Are you judging the rest of your life by a 281 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 5: storm that you're in? Now, have a new perspective, This 282 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 5: too shall pass. God is still on the throne when 283 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 5: you come out. Yeah, could have come out the same. 284 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 5: Dare to believe like Job, You're going to come out 285 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 5: with double double the joy, double the strength, double the peace, 286 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 5: double the resources, double the influence. Zachariah said, if you'll 287 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 5: be a prisoner of hope. God will restore double back 288 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 5: to you. That's talking about the surge coming out of 289 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 5: the storm, increased to a new level. But here's the key. 290 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 5: Job said in chapter ten, I know God's granted me favor, 291 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 5: but he didn't see things turn around until chapter forty two. 292 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 5: It would have been easy to say he had favor 293 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 5: after he received double, after his health was restored, But 294 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 5: in the middle of the storm, when he could have 295 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 5: been complaining, Job was declaring the favor of God. What 296 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 5: you're saying in the storm will determine whether you come 297 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 5: out of the storm. If you're talking about how bad 298 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 5: is treating you, how I can't believe this happened, you 299 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 5: are delaying your surge. Your words can limit your life, 300 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 5: or they can increase your life. They can curse your future, 301 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 5: or they can bless your future. Don't talk about how 302 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 5: big the problem is. Talk about how big your God is. 303 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 5: Do like Joe in the middle of the difficulty, Lord, 304 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 5: thank you that favor is coming. Think you that health 305 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 5: is on the way. Think of that abundance, promotion, vindication 306 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 5: is in my future. In sickness, you need to talk 307 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 5: about health. In weakness, talk about strength in lack, talk 308 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 5: about abundance. If you have a poor mouth, you're going 309 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 5: to have a poor life. If you have a defeated mouth, 310 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 5: you're going to live a defeated, mediocre life. But if 311 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 5: you'll have a victorious mouth, a faith filled mouth, then 312 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 5: you will live a blessed, abundance, faith filled life. In 313 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 5: the middle of the storm, there to declare, I am blessed, 314 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 5: I am healthy, I am strong, I am an overcomer. 315 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 5: I am more than a conquer You are prophesying your future. 316 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 5: Make sure what you're saying is what you want. David 317 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 5: had all kinds of things come against him, armies, people, 318 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 5: his own family. He said in Psalm three, Lord, how 319 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 5: are they increased that trouble me? He was saying, God, 320 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 5: I'm surrounded by enemies. I'm in this storm. If he 321 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 5: would have stopped there, he would have gotten stuck. He 322 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 5: went on to say, But you, o, Lord, are a 323 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 5: shield under me. He was saying, God, I'm surrounded by enemies, 324 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 5: but I know you're bigger, You're stronger. If you before me, 325 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 5: who dare be against me? Don't cancel out your surge 326 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 5: with negative words. Get in agreement with God all through 327 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 5: the day Lord, Thank you that favor is coming. Think 328 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 5: you that double is on the way. Thank you that 329 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 5: you are shield under me. For Samuel, chapter thirty, David 330 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 5: was thirty years old. He was anointed to be king 331 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 5: at seventeen, but because Saul was so jealous of him, 332 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 5: for the last few years, he had been living in 333 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 5: a city called zig Lag. One day, he and his 334 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 5: six hundred men were returning home from protecting the borders 335 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 5: of Israel. It was a three day journey. They were 336 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 5: excited to see their children, their family again. But when 337 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 5: they got close to Ziglag, they noticed smoke billowing in 338 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 5: the air. They were alarmed, thinking that looks like it 339 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 5: could be near our city. As they got closer, their 340 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 5: alarm turned to panic. They could see their city was 341 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 5: on fire. Raiders had come in, burned down their houses, 342 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 5: stolen their possessions, kidnapped their wives and children. It was 343 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 5: the greatest defeat that David ever suffered. They were so distraught, 344 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 5: the scripture says, they wept until they could not weep anymore. 345 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 5: When a storm hits knocks the wind out of us. 346 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 5: There's nothing wrong with weeping. When you weep, you're not weak. 347 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 5: You are human. You don't have to be strong all 348 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 5: the time. Even Jesus wept when he heard his friend 349 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 5: Lazarus had died. David was this skilled warrior, strong, courageous, 350 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 5: but when he saw all the destruction, he was so 351 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 5: overcome that he wept. The scripture says that God collects 352 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 5: all of our tears. He sees the heartache, the hurts, 353 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 5: the disappointments. Saw Maty four says he will take those 354 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 5: tears and turn them into pools of refreshing to refresh you. 355 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 5: And just when David didn't think it could get any worse, 356 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,120 Speaker 5: his men were so upset they talked about stoning him. 357 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 5: This could have been the end of David's story. He 358 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 5: could have become bitter and faded off into the sunset. 359 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 5: But David understood this principle. He knew the same God 360 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 5: that allowed the storm had a surge already lined up. 361 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 5: He knew the setback was a set up for God 362 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 5: to take him where he had never been. David didn't 363 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 5: have anybody to encourage him. He couldn't turn on the television, 364 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 5: couldn't listen to a podcast, couldn't find the nearest church temple. 365 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 5: Everybody around him was complaining negative when he looked at 366 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 5: the circumstances, smoke, ashes, ruins. That was depressing. What did 367 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 5: David do? The scripture says he encouraged himself in the 368 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 5: Lord his God. There will be times you can't find 369 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 5: a friend to cheer you up. Your spouse is in 370 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 5: a bad mood. Lakewood has closed because a hurricane. You're 371 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 5: gonna have to do what David did and encourage yourself 372 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 5: in the Lord, your God. God. I know you're still 373 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 5: on the throne. You haven't brought me this far to 374 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 5: leave me. God. You've done it in the past. I 375 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 5: know you'll do it again. David said, Oh, magnify the 376 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 5: Lord with me. I don't know. Maybe he wrote that 377 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 5: sitting in the ruins of Ziglag. Maybe he was telling himself, 378 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 5: I'm not going to magnify what I lost. I'm not 379 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 5: gonna dwell on what was unfair. I'm not gonna sit 380 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 5: around thinking about what didn't work out. I'm going to 381 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 5: magnify the Lord. I'm going to make my God bigger. 382 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 5: I'm gonna talk about his greatness. The bigger you make God, 383 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 5: the smaller your problems become, and the more faith rises 384 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 5: in your heart. When the enemy hits you with his 385 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 5: best shot. His best will never be enough. May knock 386 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 5: you down, but he can't knock you out. God has 387 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 5: you in the palm of his hand. The scripture says, 388 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 5: a good person may fall seven times, but the Lord 389 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 5: will raise them up. You may be down, but get ready. 390 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 5: The Lord, the creator of the universe, the most high God, 391 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 5: is going to raise you up. The storm may have 392 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 5: been unfair, but the surge is going to make up 393 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 5: for it. Where God is taking you is going to 394 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 5: pay you back for what the enemy tried to do. David, 395 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 5: God is fire back. He asked God if he should 396 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 5: attack the enemy. God said, yes, pursue them, for you 397 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 5: will surely overtake them and recover all. You may have 398 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 5: lost some things, the storm, the betrayal, the difficulty, has 399 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 5: set you back. God is saying to you what he 400 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,719 Speaker 5: said to David. You're going to recover all. You're not 401 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 5: going to come out decreased, going to out better. David 402 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 5: and his men attacked the enemy. They defeated them. The 403 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 5: scripture says. David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away, 404 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 5: and David rescued his two wives. Notice a double portion 405 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 5: two wives. That's all Testament. Men don't even go there. 406 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 5: They not only got all their possessions back, they got 407 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 5: their wives and children. But David took the flocks and 408 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 5: herds that belonged to the Amalekites. They came out better. 409 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 5: That would be reason enough to celebrate. But God likes 410 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 5: to do more than we can ask or thing. The 411 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 5: same day David and his men were recovering what was stolen, 412 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 5: King Saul was killed in a battle. That day, David 413 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 5: not only experienced one of his greatest victory, but he 414 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 5: was made king of Israel. This all happened seventy two 415 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 5: hours after David suffered his grit greatest attack. The storm 416 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 5: was devastating. It pulled them way back. That meant the 417 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 5: surge was going to be equally as strong in the 418 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 5: other direction. When you have a big storm, get ready 419 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 5: for a big surge. It may look difficult. You don't 420 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 5: see how it could work out. You don't know what 421 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 5: God is up to. Like David, you may be seventy 422 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 5: two hours from your greatest victory. Stir your faith up, 423 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 5: encourage yourself. A surge is coming, a surge of favor, 424 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 5: a surge of increase, a surge of healing. I believe 425 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 5: and declare the light is about to come bursting in light. Job, 426 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 5: You're gonna come out with double Like David. You're going 427 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 5: to recover. All that setback is setting you up to 428 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 5: surge into the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name. 429 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 5: If you receive it, can you say amen? I'd like 430 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 5: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord 431 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 5: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 432 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 5: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll 433 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 5: make you my Lord and savior. We believe when you 434 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 5: prayed that prayer you got born again. Now get in 435 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 5: a good Bible based church and keep God first place. 436 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 5: We're going to be praying for you, Victorian.
