I like to 45 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 5: start with something funny, and I heard about this elderly lady. 46 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 5: She was at the store. She accidentally locked her keys 47 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 5: in the car. She had a coat hanger. She was 48 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 5: trying and trying to get it unlocked, but she just 49 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 5: couldn't get it open. She prayed and asked God to 50 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 5: help her. About that time, this guy pulls up on 51 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 5: a motorcycle, rough looking, dressed in leather, tattoos, a skull cap. 52 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 4: Fifteen seconds he had the car open. 53 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 5: She hugged him and said, Lord, thank you for sending 54 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 5: me this nice man. He said, Lady, I'm not a 55 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 5: nice man. 56 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 4: I just got out of. 57 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 5: Prison for auto theft. She hugged him again and said, Lord, 58 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 5: thank you. You even sent me a professional. Say it 59 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 5: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 60 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 5: what it says I am. I have what it says 61 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 5: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 62 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 5: They I will be taught the word of God. I 63 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 5: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 64 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 5: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 65 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 5: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 66 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 5: God has the final say. We all face situations that 67 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 5: look permanent, like they're never going to work out, and 68 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 5: it's easy to get discouraged and accept that it wasn't 69 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 5: meant to be, but. 70 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 4: It's not over until God says it's over. 71 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 5: The medical report may not look good, but that sickness 72 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 5: doesn't have the last word. 73 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 4: God has the final say. 74 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 5: You may have struggled with an addiction for years, but 75 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 5: the addiction doesn't have the final say. People may be 76 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 5: against you. You have opposition, but people don't have the 77 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 5: final say no disrespect. But the doctor, the banker, the lawyer, 78 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 5: the expert, the judge. They may be good people, but 79 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 5: they're not on the throne. 80 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 4: God is on the throne. 81 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 5: Him being for you is more than the world being 82 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 5: against you. God won't let you get in a problem 83 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 5: that he can't get you out of. He wouldn't have 84 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 5: let the three Hebrew teenagers be thrown into a furnace 85 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 5: if he didn't know the fire wasn't going to harm them. 86 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 5: King Nebukinezar thought he was in control. He thought he 87 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 5: had the final saying that the fire would finish them off. 88 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 4: That's what always happened. 89 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 5: But this time he wasn't dealing with ordinary people. He 90 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 5: was dealing with children of the Most High God. 91 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 4: They came out without the smell of smoke. 92 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,239 Speaker 5: There's something about you that makes you unstoppable. 93 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 4: You have an advantage. 94 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 5: God not only breathed life into you, but he put 95 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 5: a hedge of protection around you. Nothing can touch you 96 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 5: without his permission. You're not at the mercy of bad breaks, sicknesses, accidents, 97 00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 5: people against you. 98 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 4: None of them can stop your destiny. 99 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 5: Well, if I can get this supervisor to like me, 100 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 5: maybe I'll get the promotion. 101 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 4: Now. 102 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 5: You don't have to play up to people when you 103 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 5: go to work, be your best, let your talent shine. 104 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 5: Then when it's time for you to be promoted, all 105 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 5: the forces of darkness cannot. 106 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 4: Hold you back. Well, my boss doesn't like me. 107 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 5: Your boss doesn't have the final say. They are a 108 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 5: pawn in the hands of God. You are not doing 109 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 5: life by yourself. God is behind the scenes, pulling streams 110 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 5: orchestrating things in your favor. At the right time, God 111 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 5: will either cause that person to like you or move 112 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 5: them out of the way. But they cannot stop your purpose. 113 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 5: And when you know that God has the final say, 114 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 5: you don't live frustrated trying to manipulate people, worried about 115 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 5: your children. You stay in peace, knowing that nothing can 116 00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,239 Speaker 5: stop God's plan. 117 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 4: When the prophet Samuel came to. 118 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 5: Jesse's house to choose one of his sons as the 119 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 5: next king of Israel. Jesse lined up seven of his sons, 120 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 5: said all right, Samuel, take your pick. He didn't bother 121 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 5: to bring his youngest son, David in from the shepherd's fields. 122 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 5: He had already ruled him out. Thought he's too young, 123 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 5: too small, not talented. David's not king material. If people 124 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 5: had the final say. 125 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 4: This would be a problem. 126 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 5: If people determined our destiny, we would have never heard 127 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 5: of David. When people leave you out, it may hurt, 128 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 5: but that doesn't stop your purpose. Samuel said, Jesse, I 129 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,679 Speaker 5: don't see a king in these sons. 130 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 4: Do you have any other sons? This shows us that what. 131 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 5: God has for you won't go to anyone else. People 132 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 5: may try to manipulate things, discredit you, leave you out. 133 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 4: Don't worry. 134 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 5: God is on the throne. He's pulling the strings. Who 135 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 5: wasn't going to like you? Who was going to try 136 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 5: to push you down? You don't have to try to 137 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 5: get even Stay on the high road, and what has 138 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 5: your name on it will come to you. Jesse sent 139 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 5: word for David to come into the house. When Samuel 140 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 5: saw him, first thing, he said, there's the next King 141 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 5: of Israel. 142 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 4: God doesn't choose the way we choose. 143 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 5: We look on the outside, the size, the talent, the personality. 144 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 4: God looks at the heart. 145 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 5: People may have counted you out, but God has already 146 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 5: counted you in. He overrides what people say. He overrides 147 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 5: the injustice. Well, Joel, I'm in an unfair situation, but 148 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 5: nothing's changing. 149 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 4: It's not over yet. 150 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 5: That's not how your story ends. Your time is coming. 151 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 5: Like with David, You're going to be called into the house. 152 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 5: God has not forgotten about you. What He's promised is 153 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 5: still on the way. Bad breaks it and stop it. 154 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 5: People didn't cancel it. Delays doesn't mean it's not going 155 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 5: to happen. What God started he's going to finish. He 156 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 5: has the final saying. Now, don't go around talking about 157 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 5: how it's not going to happen and this illness is 158 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 5: going to be the end of me and I'll never 159 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 5: accomplish my dreams. 160 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 4: You know what you're doing. 161 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 5: You're putting your circumstances on the throne. You're saying they 162 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 5: have the final say, they control my destiny. You need 163 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 5: to take the problem off the throne and put God. 164 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 4: Back on the throne. 165 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 5: God is sovereign over your circumstances. That means God reigns 166 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 5: over everything in your life, not just over the universe. 167 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 4: He rains over the sickness. 168 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 5: He rains over your children, over your finances. One Peter 169 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 5: three says Jesus has the last word on everything and everyone, 170 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 5: from angels to armies. He's standing right alongside God, and 171 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 5: what he says goes. Now, you may be dealing with 172 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 5: the sickness. The medical report says you're not going to 173 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 5: make it. That's one word. But God has the last word. 174 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 5: The sovereign God, the God who reigns, says, I am restoring. 175 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 4: Health back unto you. Now keep God on the throne. 176 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 5: When thoughts tell you you'll never get well, just say 177 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 5: no thanks. I know a secret. My God has the 178 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 5: last saying sickness. You may have a say injustice. You 179 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 5: may have a say, but I have bad news. What 180 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 5: you say is subject to the God who created me. 181 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 5: What you say is overruled by the most time. He 182 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 5: has the final say on everyone and everything. God promised 183 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 5: Abraham and Sarah that they were going to have a baby, 184 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 5: but they were both way too old. Abraham was in 185 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 5: his eighties, Sarah had gone through the change of life. 186 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 5: There was no way in the natural for them to 187 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 5: have a child. Sometimes God will put things in our 188 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 5: heart that don't make sense to our mind. It's easy 189 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 5: to dismiss it and think, well, that'll never happen. The 190 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 5: scripture says Abraham considered not the weakness of his own 191 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 5: body nor the deadness of Sarah's womb. He didn't deny 192 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 5: that Sarah's womb was dead. He didn't ignore the facts. 193 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 5: He just chose not to dwell on them. He didn't 194 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 5: go around talking about how impossible it was. If you're 195 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 5: going to stay in faith, you have to do like 196 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 5: Abraham and not consider what looks dead. 197 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 4: Don't dwell on what seems impossible. Are you spending more 198 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 4: time thinking about the problem or the promises? 199 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 5: Are you talking more about how big the challenge is 200 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 5: or about how. 201 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 4: Big your God is. 202 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 5: When we received word that the Rockets basketball team was 203 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 5: moving out of this building the form of Compact Center 204 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 5: and it was going to be for sell, something came 205 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 5: alive on the inside. I knew God put that promise 206 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 5: in my heart. But like Abraham, all the odds were 207 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 5: against us. We didn't have the finances, didn't have the experience. Necessarily, 208 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 5: the people that wanted the building were a huge real 209 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 5: estate company, one of the largest taxpayers in Texas. But 210 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 5: instead of focusing on how impossible it was, Victoria and 211 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 5: I would come up at night, when the rockets weren't playing, 212 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 5: nobody was around. We would walk around the outside of 213 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 5: the building and thank God that it was ours and 214 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 5: thank Him that he was fighting our battles, thank him 215 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 5: that he was making. 216 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 4: A way or we didn't see away. 217 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 5: Instead of considering the circumstances, we chose to consider the 218 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 5: greatness of our God. I've learned the bigger you make God, 219 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 5: the smaller problems become, the more faith rises in your heart. 220 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 5: As we walked around the building, we were saying, Lord, 221 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 5: we know you can open doors that no man can shut. 222 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 5: We know you can take us where we can't go 223 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 5: on our own. When you get in agreement with God, 224 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 5: he will make things happen that you could have never 225 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 5: made happen. If Sarah would have gone for a checkup, 226 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 5: the doctor would have said, I'm sorry, ma'am, you're too old. 227 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 4: You waited too late. Plus your husband is an old man. 228 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 5: Even if your womb was somehow fertile, he doesn't have 229 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 5: the seed. No doctor would have given them a chance. 230 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 5: Medically speaking, it was impossible. 231 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 4: But don't let. 232 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 5: People talk you out of what God put in your heart. 233 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 5: Don't let the experts convince you that it's not going 234 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 5: to happen. Remember, experts built a Titanic in its sank. 235 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 4: Amateurs built the Ark and it floated. 236 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 5: No disrespect, But sometimes the experts can be wrong. 237 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 4: They don't know what God put in you. 238 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 5: They can't see your seeds of greatness on your own. 239 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 5: What they're saying about you may be true, but you're 240 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 5: not on your own. You have the most powerful force 241 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 5: in the universe breathing in your direction. He has the 242 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 5: final say over your dreams. People may have discouraged you, 243 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 5: but what he promised is on the way. He has 244 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 5: the final say over your health. May not have happened yet, 245 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 5: but healing is coming. He has the final say over 246 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 5: your children. That child that's off course, God knows how 247 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 5: to get their attention. 248 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 4: He says, as for you, in your house, you will 249 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 4: serve the Lord. 250 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 5: When Abraham was one hundred years old, Sarah was eighty. 251 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 5: This was twenty years after the promise. They came into 252 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 5: a final word Sarah gave birth. 253 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 4: To a son. God overrode the laws of nature. He 254 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 4: overrode what the expert said. 255 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 5: He even overrode mistakes that they are made. If Abraham 256 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 5: were here today, he would tell you, don't let circumstances 257 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 5: talk you out of what God put in you. It 258 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 5: may look dead, seem impossible. The experts say, no way, 259 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 5: But I can tell you first hand. 260 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 4: God has the final say. Think about Joseph. His brothers 261 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 4: had a say. 262 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 5: They were jealous of him, betrayed him, sold him into slavery. 263 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 5: Potiphar's wife, the man Joseph worked for, she had a say. 264 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 5: She lied about him. Joseph was put in prison. He 265 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 5: had all these negative voices, negative circumstances in Joseph's life. 266 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 5: He could have lived bitter, but he understood this principle. 267 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 5: After all the bad breaks, he was suddenly brought out 268 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 5: of prison and made the Prime Minister of Egypt second 269 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 5: in command. 270 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 4: What am I saying? When God has the final say, 271 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 4: it will make up. 272 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 5: For all the injustice, all the delays. You are not 273 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 5: falling behind, You're not losing ground. One touch of God's 274 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 5: favor will put you fifty years down the road, not 275 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 5: in age, but in influence, in position, in opportunity. I believe, 276 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 5: like Joseph, You're about to see God step in and 277 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 5: override what's been hindering you. You're about to come into 278 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 5: a final word in your health, in your relationships, in 279 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 5: your finances. That struggle may seem permanent, like you'll never 280 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 5: get ahead. God is about to override the lack, the limitations, 281 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 5: the people that have held you back, and release you 282 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 5: into new levels of influence, increase, abundance. The final word 283 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 5: is you will lend and not borrow. You are above 284 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 5: and not beneath. Or maybe you were raised in dysfunctions, depression, addictions. 285 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 4: The final word is coming. 286 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 5: God is about to break those yokes that have held 287 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 5: you back so you can step up to who you 288 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 5: were created to be. The final word is freedom, wholeness, abundance, 289 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 5: and victory. In the Scripture, two sisters Mary and Martha 290 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,239 Speaker 5: and their brother Lazarus were close friends with Jesus. Lazarus 291 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 5: became very sick. Jesus was in another city, so Martha 292 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 5: sent word for Jesus to come pray for their brother. 293 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 4: They had seen Jesus. 294 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 5: Heal people, open the eyes of the blind, turn water 295 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 5: into wine. 296 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 4: They knew he could do miracles. 297 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 5: Jesus got the word, but he stayed in that city 298 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 5: for a day, two days, three days. 299 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 4: Then their worst nightmare came true. 300 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 5: Lazarus died. They were devastated. Four days later, Jesus showed up. 301 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 5: Has it ever felt like God. 302 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 4: Came too late? You prayed, you believed, you asked, but 303 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 4: the problem didn't turn around. 304 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 5: Martha said, Jesus, if you would have been here, if 305 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 5: you'd have just come when we asked, my brother wouldn't 306 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 5: have died. She could have turned away, lived bitter, angry, 307 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 5: that would be the end of the story. But she 308 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 5: went on to say, Lord, even now, I know whatever you. 309 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 4: Ask God will do it for you. 310 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 5: She was saying, Yes, it looks bad, it seems impossible, 311 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 5: but I know you. 312 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 4: Have the final say. 313 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 5: Jesus said to them, take me to where you buried Lazarus. 314 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 4: Take me to the tomb. He was saying, take me. 315 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 5: To the place where you quit believing. Take me to 316 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 5: where you decided you're not going to get well. You'll 317 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 5: never meet the right person Unless you go back to 318 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 5: that place and stir your faith up, it will limit 319 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 5: what God can do. They went to the tomb. Jesus 320 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 5: told them to roll away the stone. Martha said, Lord, 321 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 5: he's been dead for four days. He's going to stink. 322 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 5: Represents what you've given up on. You think it's been 323 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 5: too long, too late, it's never going to happen. So 324 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 5: you put the stone on the promise, the stone. 325 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 4: On the dream. You have to do your part and 326 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 4: roll away the stone. You have to start believing again, 327 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 4: get your passion back. 328 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 5: They removed the stone, but Jesus didn't go in the 329 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 5: tomb and lay hands on Lazarus like he did the 330 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 5: blind man and some other people that he healed. This 331 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 5: time he spoke, said Lazarus, come forth. Instantly Lazarus woke up. 332 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 5: He came out of the tomb on a word from 333 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 5: the Lord. Now Jesus may not be here in person today, 334 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 5: but we have what Lazarus had. You can come out 335 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 5: on a word from God. God says you will live 336 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 5: and not die. 337 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 4: Let that take root. You can come out on that word. 338 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 5: God says whatever you touch will prosper and succeed. There's 339 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 5: a word you can come out on. Or whom the 340 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 5: sun sets free is free. Indeed, there's a word that 341 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 5: breaks bondages. What God says in the scripture is the 342 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 5: final word. It's significant that Jesus waited four days to 343 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 5: pray for Lazarus. He could have healed him the first 344 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 5: day he knew he was sick, or at least the 345 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 5: second day, and not made them go through so much. 346 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 5: But there's always a reason for a delay. We may 347 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 5: not understand it, but God knows what he's doing. And 348 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 5: while you're waiting for a situation to turn around, waiting 349 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 5: for your health to improve, waiting for your child to 350 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 5: get on the right track, that's a critical time you 351 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 5: have to pass the test of waiting. If Martha would 352 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 5: have stayed negative, bitter, complaining, she could have stopped the miracle. 353 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 5: Will you stay in faith when heaven is silent? Will 354 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 5: you wait with a good attitude and keep thanking God 355 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 5: that he has the fire. I'll say, when you don't 356 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 5: see anything improving, how you wait will determine whether or 357 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 5: not the situation changes. And back in those days, the Sadducees, 358 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 5: these were the people that were very against Jesus. They 359 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 5: believed that the spirit left the body three days after. 360 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 4: The person died. 361 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 5: It wasn't a coincidence that Jesus waited till the fourth day. 362 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 5: He did it so that when he raised Lazarus, there 363 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 5: wouldn't be any. 364 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 4: Doubt about it. 365 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 5: And sometimes God will wait on purpose, so you not 366 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 5: only know it's his favor, but so all of your critics, 367 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 5: your neighbors, your relatives, your coworkers, they won't be able 368 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 5: to deny the goodness of God in your life. 369 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 4: I talked to this lady. 370 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 5: Her son was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy when he was 371 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 5: six years old, and he got to the point where 372 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 5: he couldn't walk. When he was twelve. He had to 373 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 5: have surgery on his feet and heels. It was a 374 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 5: routine procedure, but something went wrong. He ended up in 375 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 5: ICU on a ventilator, couldn't breathe on his own. His 376 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 5: other organs started to shut down, his heart's, livers, kidneys. 377 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 4: He had to go on dialysis. 378 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 5: The doctors told this mother that they didn't think he 379 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 5: was going to make it. She kept praying and believing, 380 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 5: but everything went downhill got so bad they needed to 381 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 5: put him on a machine to bypass his heart and lungs. Basically, 382 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 5: he would be on life support just waiting to pass. 383 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 5: They went to get the paperwork for the mother to 384 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 5: sign to give them permission. While she was waiting, the 385 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 5: doctors came running in. They said, hang on, you don't 386 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 5: need to sign. There's been a sudden change. They couldn't 387 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 5: explain it. But his heart started working, his blood pressure stabilized, 388 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 5: his lungs begin to function. They couldn't understand how one 389 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 5: moment he was dying and the next moment he was 390 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 5: coming back to life. Friends, God has the final say. 391 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 5: If it's not your time. 392 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 4: To go, you're not going to go. 393 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 5: The scripture says the number of your days God will fulfill. 394 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 4: You don't have to fulfill it. God's going to fulfill it. 395 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 5: Nothing can snatch you out of his hands. Cancer can't 396 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 5: take one day that God has planned for you. That 397 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 5: sickness cannot take. 398 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 4: You before your time. 399 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 5: Well, Joel, my loved one didn't make it. Then their 400 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 5: time was up. 401 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 4: They fulfilled the days that God planned for them. 402 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 5: They didn't show up in heaven unannounced. They didn't get 403 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 5: there and God say, wow, I didn't know you were coming. 404 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 5: God was the one beckoning them to come. He was 405 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 5: the one receiving them with open arms. We may not 406 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 5: always understand it or like it, but you can rest assured. 407 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 4: God has the final say. 408 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 5: He planned all of your days before, before you were born, 409 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 5: and he's promised to fulfill. 410 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 4: The number of your days. 411 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 5: This young man totally recovered. It's no longer on dialysis. 412 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 5: His heart is fine, his lungs are fine. He's fulfilling 413 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 5: his purpose. But you may be in a situation like 414 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 5: the mother. Doesn't seem like it'll ever turn around. Dream 415 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 5: that looks impossible, an addiction that seems permanent. I believe 416 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 5: you're going to hear what she heard. There's been a 417 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 5: sudden change. Something has happened that we can't explain. You 418 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 5: thought you'd reach your limits. Suddenly you're promoted. The company 419 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 5: wants you to run the department. You thought you'd always 420 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 5: struggle with the illness, the addiction. 421 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 4: Get ready for a sudden change. 422 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 5: Forces of darkness are being broken. Any area where you're 423 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 5: not living in victory is not permanent. 424 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 4: It's temporary. God has the final saying. 425 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 5: My brother in law, Dawn, graduate from Texas A and 426 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 5: M University. 427 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 4: He's a huge Aggie football fan. 428 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 5: Last year he was watching a big game on television 429 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 5: with one of their main rivals. The score was going 430 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 5: back and forth. Came down to the final possession. The 431 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 5: Aggies had the ball few seconds left to go. They 432 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 5: needed to score in order to tie the game, but 433 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 5: the Aggie quarterback through an interception the other team got 434 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 5: the ball, looked like the game was over. They poured 435 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 5: gatorade on the coach. The team members came on the 436 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 5: field celebrating. The opposing fans were going wild. Don was 437 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 5: so frustrated he not only turned the television off, he 438 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 5: deleted the recording from his DVR. 439 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 4: He didn't even want that game in his files. 440 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 5: Half an hour later, a friend texted him saying, Wow, 441 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 5: this game is unbelievable. He thought the friend had recorded 442 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 5: it and was watching it late. He checked Twitter and 443 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 5: saw the other com come to find out, before the 444 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 5: Aggie quarterback through the interception, his knee touched the ground, 445 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 5: so the play was dead. The referees reviewed it and 446 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 5: gave the ball back to the Aggies. They went on 447 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 5: to score and tie the game. The game went into overtime. 448 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 5: First overtime still tied, second, tied, third, fourth. In the 449 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 5: seventh overtime, the Aggies won the game. 450 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 4: It was one of the greatest games in college football history. 451 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 5: But sometimes we do like Dawn we turned the game 452 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 5: off too soon. We think we'll never get well, we'llever 453 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 5: meet the right person whenever accomplish a dream. 454 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 4: We tried, it didn't work out. Feels like the opposing 455 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 4: team is won. 456 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 5: They're celebrating. They poured gatorade on the coach. Can I 457 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 5: tell you it's not over until God says it's over. 458 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 4: You better go. 459 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 5: Back and look again. Your story doesn't it to defeat. 460 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 4: It ends in victory. 461 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 5: As long as you're breathing, the game is still going. Yes, 462 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 5: there will be times it looks like it's too late. 463 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 5: It's impossible. God has ways you've never thought of. 464 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 4: Get your passion back, start believing again. The game is 465 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 4: still on. This is what happened two thousand years ago. 466 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 5: Satan and all the forces of darkness were celebrating. They 467 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 5: already shot the confetti, poured the gatorade, and started their 468 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 5: victory party. They finally defeated Jesus, nailed him to a cross. 469 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 4: What they didn't realize. 470 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 5: Was Jesus prophesied not only his death, but his resurrection. 471 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 5: They got the first part of the information, but they 472 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 5: didn't get the final word. Jesus said, destroy this temple, 473 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 5: and in three days God will raise it up. Jesus 474 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 5: asked to borrow Joseph's tune. He was saying, I don't 475 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 5: need to buy all right, I'm only going to be 476 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 5: there three days. 477 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 4: Satan had selective hearing. 478 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 5: While they were partying having their celebration, Jesus came walking in, 479 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 5: took away the keys of death, and Hell said, I 480 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 5: am he that lives. I was dead, but I'm alive forevermore. 481 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 5: Now the enemy may be celebrating over you, thinking that 482 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 5: you're done. 483 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 4: You've seen your best days. 484 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 5: You'll always be lonely, struggling, addicted, mediocre. 485 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 4: You need to let him know you didn't hear the 486 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 4: last word. 487 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 5: I may be down, but I will arise. I may 488 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 5: be facing this illness, but healing is coming. This set 489 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,719 Speaker 5: back in my finances and not permanent abundance is in 490 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 5: my future. The final word says, your latter days will 491 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 5: be better than your former days. Now, get in agreement 492 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 5: with God, go back to those places where you quit believing, 493 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 5: and roll away the tomb who told. 494 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 4: You it was over. That wasn't the final word. 495 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 5: Like with Lazarus, it may look dead, but I believe 496 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 5: and declare it's about to come back to life. There's 497 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 5: a sudden change coming, sudden healing, sudden promotion, sudden opportunity. 498 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 5: What you thought was permanent is about to suddenly change 499 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 5: in your favor in Jesus' name. 500 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 4: And if you receive it, can you say him in today? 501 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 5: But I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus. 502 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 4: The lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 503 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 4: Just say it, Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. 504 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 4: Come into my heart. I'll make you my Lord and savior. 505 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 5: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 506 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 5: born again.
