And I like to start with 45 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 5: something funny and I heard about this minister he was 46 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 5: finishing up a fiery sermon on self control. He said, 47 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 5: with great passion, if I had all the beer in 48 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 5: the world, I would throw it into the river. With 49 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 5: a greater fervor, he said, if I had all the 50 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 5: wine in the world, I would throw it into the river, 51 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 5: almost to the top of his lungs. If I had 52 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 5: all the whiskey in the world, I would throw it 53 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 5: into the river. Sat down. Song leader stepped up said, 54 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 5: for our closing song, let's sing him three sixty five. 55 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 5: Shall we gather at the river. Hold up your bible, 56 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 5: say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 57 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 5: I am what it says I am. I have what 58 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 5: it says I have. I can do what it says 59 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 5: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 60 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 5: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 61 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 5: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 62 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 5: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 63 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 5: about your coming out. We all face situations that look 64 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 5: permanent in our health, our relationships, our career. It's easy 65 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 5: to think that that's the way it's always going to be. 66 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 5: I'll always struggle with this addiction. I'll always have to 67 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 5: deal with this depression. I'll always be at this same level. 68 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 5: I'll never break out of the rut do something great. 69 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 5: But just because it seems permanent to us doesn't mean 70 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 5: that it's permanent to God. God doesn't allow you to 71 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 5: get into anything that he can't bring you out of. 72 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 5: Even if it was your own fault. You brought the 73 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 5: trouble on yourself. God wouldn't have allowed it if he 74 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 5: didn't have a way out. He knew how to get 75 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 5: you out of the trouble before you got in the trouble. 76 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 5: He knows the end from the being. He had the 77 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 5: solution even before you had the problem. And it may 78 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 5: look to you like it's never going to change, but 79 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 5: God is saying it's temporary. You're coming out of that sickness. 80 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 5: You're coming out of chronic pain, You're coming out of loneliness, 81 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 5: that debt, that addiction. That legal trouble is not going 82 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 5: to last forever. It didn't come to stay, it came 83 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 5: to pass. God has already made a way of escape. 84 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 5: He's already planned your coming out party. It's just a 85 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 5: matter of time before you see the breakthrough, the healing, 86 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 5: the abundance, the restoration, the new level. The scripture says 87 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 5: in Job that God has set an end to the difficulty. 88 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 5: He has set an end to that trouble. God is 89 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 5: the Alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. 90 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 5: He's already set an end to the sickness, and end 91 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 5: to the addiction, and end to that en justice at work. 92 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 5: Your coming out date has already been established. Now, when 93 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 5: thoughts tell you it's never going to change, you might 94 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 5: as well accept that this is as good as it gets. 95 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 5: Now you have to remind yourself, I will not always 96 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 5: be lonely. God has set an end to this loneliness. 97 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 5: He's bringing somebody great into my life. I will not 98 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 5: always struggle in my finances. God has set an end 99 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 5: to this lack. He has promotion, increase, abundance come in 100 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 5: my way. Or this child that's off course is not 101 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 5: always going to cause me heartache. The creator of the universe, 102 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 5: the one who spoke worlds into existence, has already decided 103 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 5: the final date. Or maybe this addiction, these bad habits 104 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 5: are not going to hinder me my whole life. God 105 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 5: has already put the end on his calendar. My time 106 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 5: is coming, Freedom, wholeness, victory is in my future. That's 107 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 5: what happened to a young lady. I'm she'd been a 108 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 5: cocaine addict for fourteen years, and she knew it was 109 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 5: destroying her health, her family, her future. She was about 110 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 5: to lose her job again, and she'd done everything she 111 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 5: could in her own strength to try to quit, gone 112 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,799 Speaker 5: through counseling and treatment with no success. And she wasn't 113 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 5: a quote religious person. She didn't grow up in church 114 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 5: like me, but she watched us on television every morning. 115 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 5: She started praying, God, please help me. I can't do 116 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 5: this on my own. God, I need you. Simply acknowledging God, 117 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 5: the scripture says, call out to God and He will 118 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 5: answer you. Month after month went by, she didn't see 119 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 5: any sign of a change. She continued struggling, but one morning, 120 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 5: while she was praying, she felt this warmness come all 121 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 5: over her. She couldn't explain it. She said, I felt 122 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 5: such a peace, such a joy, that I began to 123 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 5: weep and weep. As she sat there weeping, it was 124 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 5: like that was cleansing her, a healing was taking place. 125 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 5: From that moment forward, she never had a desire for 126 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 5: the cocaine. She didn't have to go through withdraws. She 127 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 5: didn't have to gradually get off of it. Instantly that 128 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 5: addiction was broken. I saw her about six months later 129 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 5: in the lobby. She looked like a different person. She 130 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 5: was very thin and fragile. Before she'd gained weight, back 131 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 5: her skin and cleared up. She had this beautiful smile, 132 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 5: so radiant. What happened? She came in to the end 133 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 5: date set by the creator of the universe. If you 134 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 5: will stay in faith, there will come a point where 135 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 5: God says enough is enough. That's my son, that's my daughter. 136 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 5: I didn't create them to live with addictions, with sickness, 137 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 5: in lack, mediocrity being taken advantage of. I created them 138 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 5: to be victorious, to be healthy, to be free to 139 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 5: lend and not borrow. God may have allowed it, but 140 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 5: he wouldn't have let you get into it if he 141 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 5: couldn't bring you out of it. He's already set the 142 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 5: end to the sickness, to the legal problem, to the 143 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 5: family situation, to the struggle. You don't know that end 144 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 5: date could be today, It could be this week, It 145 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 5: could happen this month. What if you knew that on 146 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 5: August twenty second of this year, that was the final 147 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 5: date God set for the difficulty. You wouldn't drag around discouraged, thinking, 148 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 5: oh man, I never get any good breaks, I'll never 149 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 5: get over this illness. No, you'd go out each morning 150 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 5: with a spring in your step, a smile on your face, 151 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 5: talking like it was going to happen, acting like it 152 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 5: was going to happen. That's what faith is all about. 153 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 5: You've got to believe it before you see it. You've 154 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 5: got to act like it's true before you see any 155 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 5: sign of it happening. Somebody ask you, are you still 156 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 5: dealing with that sickness? Are you still under the weather. 157 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 5: Don't give them a twenty minute update of everything wrong 158 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 5: with you, how bad the medical report was. Your answer 159 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 5: should be yes, I'm still dealing with it. But can 160 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 5: I tell you I'm coming out. I'm getting better. God 161 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 5: is restoring health under me. The number of my days 162 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 5: he will fulfill. Well. Are you still struggling in your finances? 163 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 5: You're still in debt? Yes, I'm still there, but I'm 164 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 5: coming out. It's only temporary. I will lend and not borrow. 165 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 5: Are you still with that same company, that same position. 166 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 5: I thought you wanted to do something better. Yes, I'm 167 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 5: still there, but I'm coming out. My new job is 168 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 5: on the way. God is opening doors that no man 169 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 5: can shut. You have got to get in agreement with God. 170 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 5: He's saying, where you are is not where you're staying. 171 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 5: You're coming out of the drought into abundance. You're coming 172 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 5: out of fear and worry into peace. You're coming out 173 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 5: of the prays into joy. You're coming out of constant 174 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 5: struggle bad breaks into the favor of God. You may 175 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 5: not see how it could happen, but don't believe those lies. 176 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 5: The end date has already been set. David put it 177 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 5: this way, though I walk through the valley of the 178 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 5: Shadow of Death. He didn't say I stay in the valley. 179 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 5: I build my house in the valley. I'm stuck in 180 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 5: the valley. He said, in effect, I'm coming out of 181 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 5: this valley. The valley is temporary. You're supposed to go 182 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 5: through it. That is not your permanent home. But if 183 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 5: you let it become permanent in your thinking, it will 184 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 5: keep you from your destiny. And every one of us 185 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 5: is going through something a health issue, financial difficulty, struggle 186 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 5: at work. Too often we settle in the valley and think, 187 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 5: oh man, I'll always struggle Joel, I'll always have this 188 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 5: back pain. I'll always have strife and division in my family. 189 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 5: That's just who we are. Put a stakes down, build 190 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 5: our house in the valley. I'm asking you to do 191 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 5: what David did. Pack up your belongings, pull up your stakes. 192 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 5: The valley is not your home. You are just passing through. 193 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 5: You are not a citizen of the valley. You don't 194 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 5: belong there. You're illegal in the valley. You are not 195 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 5: a citizen of debt. You are not a citizen of cancer. 196 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 5: You are not a citizen of mediocrity. That's a temporary position. 197 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 5: You may be there for a season. But the good 198 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 5: news is your day of departure has already been set. 199 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 5: God has already purchased your ticket. 200 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 6: Now. 201 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 5: You may be in the valley of sickness right now, 202 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 5: the medical report doesn't look good, but take heart. Your 203 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 5: ticket says you are headed for good health. Your ticket 204 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 5: says you will live and not die. You may be 205 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 5: in the valley of struggle lack, not enough, but your 206 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 5: ticket says you are to more than enough, to overflow 207 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 5: to abundance. Maybe you're in the valley of loneliness. You 208 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 5: don't have much company, stay encouraged. Your ticket says divine 209 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 5: connections are coming, new friendships, the right people. Perhaps you're 210 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 5: in the valley of disappointment. Something didn't work out, went 211 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 5: through a breakup, business didn't make it, a friend betrayed. 212 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 3: You. 213 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 5: Don't stay discouraged. Don't let the self pity and bitterness 214 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 5: take root. That is not your final destination. Your ticket 215 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 5: says beauty for ashes. Your ticket says what was meant 216 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 5: for your harm, God will use to your advantage. If 217 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 5: you will be a prisoner of hope, Zachariah said, God 218 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 5: will bring you out with twice what you had before. 219 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 5: He'll pay you back for the unfair things that have happened. 220 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 5: A friend of mine recently lost her father. She was 221 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 5: very close to her dad, and it's really difficult on her. 222 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 5: She's in the valley right now grieving that loss. But 223 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 5: what I want to say to see is we're not 224 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 5: supposed to stay in the valley. Weeping may endure for 225 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 5: a night, but joy is coming in the morning. Your 226 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 5: ticket says new beginnings now. Don't get stuck in the valley. 227 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 5: Don't put your stakes down in the disappointment, the loss, 228 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 5: the heartache, thinking you've seen your best days. Paul eighty 229 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 5: four says, passing through the valley of Weeping, you'll find 230 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 5: pools of blessing. That means, when you're in the valley, 231 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 5: if you'll stay in faith, knowing that God has you 232 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 5: in the palm of his hand, God will take your 233 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 5: tears and turn them into pools to refresh you. You'll 234 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 5: have the strength you need for every situation. Genesis fifteen, 235 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 5: God told Abraham, I'm sending your people, the Israelites, into 236 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 5: a foreign land. They will be enslaved there for four 237 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,239 Speaker 5: hundred years. Afterwards, they will come out with great substance. 238 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 5: What's interesting is God is the one that sent them 239 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 5: into slavery. He said, I'm taking you into a place 240 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 5: that's going to be difficult. If that was the end 241 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 5: of the story, that doesn't sound like a good deal. 242 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 5: We think God don't do me any favors. The truth 243 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 5: is that setback was a setup for God to do 244 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 5: something greater. God brought them out with great substance, with 245 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 5: more than they had before. When you go through a difficulty, 246 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 5: a disappointment, you may not understand it, but God wouldn't 247 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 5: have allowed it. Not only if he couldn't get you out, 248 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 5: but God's going to take it one step further and 249 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 5: bring you out with great substance, better off than you 250 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 5: were before. A friend of mine, a young man, he 251 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 5: recently had his car stolen, went out early in the 252 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 5: morning to go to school and his car wasn't there. 253 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 5: This was the first car he had ever owned. His 254 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 5: father had bought it for him. They filed the police report, 255 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 5: and a week went by and they didn't find the car. 256 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 5: Another week and another, and from time to time I 257 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 5: would ask the father, Hey, have they found your son's 258 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 5: car yet. He would say no, But we're not worried. 259 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 5: We know God's in control. He's fighting our battles. He'll 260 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 5: make our wrongs right. About six weeks later, the insurance 261 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 5: company paid them for the car because it was never found. 262 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 5: The young man thought he would go buy another used 263 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 5: car like he had before. But God never brings you 264 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 5: out the same. If you'll stay in faith, he'll bring 265 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 5: you out with greater substance, greater joy, greater peace, greater resources. 266 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 5: His father had a very nice, high end sports car. 267 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 5: He kept it perfect, looked brand new. One day a 268 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 5: friend of his father called his father and said, hey, 269 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 5: come over to my house. I want to give you something. 270 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 5: This father had helped this man from time to time. 271 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 5: He thought he was going to buy his dinner, do 272 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 5: something nice like that. But this man gave his father 273 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 5: one of the most expensive, top of the line luxury 274 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 5: car made today. His father couldn't believe it. He was amazed. 275 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 5: He thought, well, I don't need my sports car anymore. 276 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 5: So he got it all cleaned up, all detailed, gave 277 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 5: it to his son. Here's how God works. Before the 278 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 5: car was stolen, the young man had a car payment. 279 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 5: After it was stolen, the insurance company had paid off 280 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 5: that car, he had no payment. Plus, he and his 281 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 5: father both had better cars. That car being stolen was 282 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 5: a set up for God to bring them out with 283 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 5: great substance. Psalm sixty six says we went through the fire, 284 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 5: through the flood, but you brought us to a place 285 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 5: of great abundance. You may be in the fire right now, 286 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 5: you may be in the flood, in the famine. We'll 287 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 5: get ready. Your next step is great abundance. God's going 288 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 5: to do more than you can ask or think. The 289 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 5: fact is, God could have kept the car from being stolen. 290 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 5: He's God, He controls the whole universe. When you go 291 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 5: through a difficulty. When you face a bad break, you 292 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 5: may not understand it, you may not like it. But 293 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 5: God wouldn't have allowed it unless ultimately he was going 294 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 5: to use it to your advantage. Recognize it's a set 295 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 5: up for God to do something greater. In Exodus fourteen, 296 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 5: when God told Moses to tell Pharaoh to let the 297 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 5: people go, the scripture says that God hardened Pharaoh's heart 298 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 5: and caused him to say no. Here God was the 299 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 5: one that told him to let the people go. Yet 300 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 5: God wanted Pharaoh to say no. It goes on to say, 301 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 5: I have planned this so I will receive great glory 302 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 5: at the expense of Pharaoh. There are enemies God will 303 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 5: allow into your life, not to defeat you, not to 304 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 5: make you miserable, but so that God can receive great glory. 305 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 5: Every time I see my friend's new car, I think 306 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 5: to myself, look what the Lord has done. They be 307 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 5: in a tough time, but when God brings you out, 308 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 5: when you beat the cancer, when you break the addiction, 309 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 5: when your marriage is restored, when you pay your house off, 310 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 5: when you accomplish your dreams, everyone will know it wasn't 311 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 5: just you, It was the favor of God. God wants 312 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 5: to show out in your life. He wants to make 313 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 5: you an example of His goodness. But we pray God 314 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 5: keep me out all the difficulties. God, don't let me 315 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 5: face any opposition. But if that happened. Number one, we 316 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 5: wouldn't grow like we should. Our character is developed in 317 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 5: the tough times. That's when our faith is tested and strengthened. 318 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 5: And number two, if we never had obstacles to overcome, 319 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 5: if we never faced impossible situations, we wouldn't see the 320 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 5: greatness of God's power. We have difficulties. A lot of 321 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 5: times we think, Oh, man, why is this happening to me? 322 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 5: What am I doing wrong? No, you may not be 323 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 5: doing anything wrong. God just may want to show out 324 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 5: in your life. He may want to use that situation 325 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 5: to bring him great glory. One time Jesus saw a 326 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 5: man that had been blind since birth. His disciples asked 327 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 5: him who sinned this man or his parents. Jesus said, 328 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 5: nobody sinned. He was born this way so that the 329 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 5: glory of God might be seen. Jesus touched his eyes, 330 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 5: healed him, brought him out of blindness for the rest 331 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 5: of his life. That man was a testimony to the 332 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 5: goodness of God. When the Houston City Council members voted 333 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 5: for us to have this facility, we had worked on 334 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 5: it for nearly two years. It was a dream come true. 335 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 5: We were so excited. But a week later a company 336 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 5: filed a lawsuit to try to keep us from moving in. 337 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 5: This company was the largest taxpayer in Texas. My first 338 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 5: thought was, God, this is impossible. We'll never win this lawsuit. 339 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 5: This company is huge. They've got more money, more resources, 340 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 5: more experience. It was David versus Goliath. But one day 341 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 5: I was reading this passage in Exodus fourteen. It says, 342 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 5: when I get through with Faiah, all of Egypt will 343 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 5: know that I am the Lord. Now I could hear 344 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 5: I could hear God saying to me right down in here, Joe, 345 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 5: you just stay in faith, and when I give you 346 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 5: that building, everyone will know it is the Lord, your God. 347 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 7: This building is a testimony of the greatness of our God. 348 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 7: We can all say, look what the Lord has done. 349 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 7: Your situation may look impossible, like ours dead. The obstacle 350 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 7: looks too big, the sickness too bad, the business too slow, 351 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 7: the marriage too far gone. No, get ready, You're a 352 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 7: prime candidate for God. 353 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 5: To show himself strong. God specializes in cases that look 354 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 5: too big, impossible, no chance that way. When he turns 355 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,239 Speaker 5: it around, you will give him great glory at the 356 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 5: expense of your enemies. The scripture says God caused Faah 357 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 5: to harden his heart. That tells me that God is 358 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 5: in control even of our enemies. When Satan wanted to 359 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 5: test Job, he had to ask God for permission to 360 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 5: even touch him. In the Book of Acts, when Saul 361 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 5: was persecuting the Church, he had to get permission from 362 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 5: the chief priest to arrest believers, and he was headed 363 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 5: to Damascus with papers in hand, thinking I've got permission 364 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 5: to make their lives miserable. I got permission to bring 365 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 5: them down. But as he was traveling, a bright light 366 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 5: shine down from Heaven knocked him off his horse. He 367 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 5: fell flat on his back. What's my point? Even though 368 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 5: he had permission, God stopped it. There are times when 369 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 5: God will give the enemy permission to test us. The 370 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 5: enemy has papers in hand, but just like with Saul, 371 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 5: God will stop it. That young lady addicted to cocaine 372 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 5: fourteen years God said, that's it. I'm stopping it. God 373 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 5: can stop the cancer, stop the addiction, stop the legal situation. 374 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 5: Every one of us can look back and see times 375 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 5: where we know God stopped it. I was on the 376 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 5: freeway one time. It's in my early twenties, and it 377 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 5: was raining really hard, and I lost control of my 378 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 5: car started spinning around and around. At one point I 379 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 5: looked up and I was going the wrong direction on 380 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 5: the freeway. There was an eighteen wheeler right in front 381 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 5: of me. Looked like I could reach out and touch 382 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 5: its front grill just a few feet away. My life 383 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 5: flashed before me. I thought, that's it, I'm done. But 384 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 5: God doesn't let you get into something that he can't 385 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 5: bring you out of. That truck should have run over me. 386 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 5: The enemy had the papers in hand, but God said, 387 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 5: now I'm gonna use this to show my power in 388 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 5: a greater way. God stopped it. Somehow that truck missed me. 389 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 5: The driver pulled over to the side of the road 390 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 5: where I was. He looked like he had seen a ghost. 391 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 5: His first words were, boy, you must be living right. 392 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 5: He told how he felt like a big gust of wind, 393 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 5: picked up his whole rig and moved it one lane 394 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 5: over just to the nick of time. What am I saying? 395 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 5: Whatever comes against you. God can stop it. He can 396 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 5: stop the accident, stop the addictions, stop the family trouble. 397 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 5: The enemy is not going to have the last laugh. 398 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 5: You will, David said in psawm One nine, from my 399 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 5: earliest youth, my enemies have persecuted me, but they have 400 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 5: never been able to finish me off. Can I tell 401 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 5: you that difficulty is not going to finish you off? 402 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 5: That bad break, that disappointment, that sickness is not the end. 403 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 5: God has the final say, and he's saying, you're coming 404 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 5: out with greater substance. You're coming out better off than 405 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 5: you were before. I read about a small fish called 406 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 5: a Moses' soul. It's a little flounder that's found over 407 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 5: in the Red Sea. There are also sharks in those waters, 408 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 5: and typically those sharks would eat this kind of fish. 409 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 5: But in the nineteen seventies, researchers discovered something interesting about 410 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 5: the Moses' soul. All the other fish in the same category, 411 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 5: same size, same way, they would be eaten by the sharks. 412 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 5: But the sharks could not eat the Moses' soul. It's 413 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 5: because it has a unique defense system. When it senses 414 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 5: any kind of danger, it naturally releases poisonous toxins from 415 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 5: his glands. Those toxins literally caused the shark's jaws to freeze. 416 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 5: They showed a picture of this Moses' soul swimming inside 417 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 5: the shark's mouth. All the shark had do was bite 418 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 5: down and there was dinner. The only problem was the 419 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 5: shark couldn't do it. God puts something on this little 420 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 5: fish to protect it. As long as the shark was there, 421 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 5: it couldn't close its mouth. It had to go away 422 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 5: for a few seconds before its jaws would be released. 423 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 5: In the same way as a child of the Most High, 424 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 5: God has put something on you where you cannot be defeated. 425 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 5: At times, it may look like those jaws are going 426 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 5: to close down. The medical report isn't good. Business is 427 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 5: going down. The odds are against you. But Isaiah said, 428 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 5: no weapon formed against you will ever prosper. It may form, 429 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 5: it may look impossible, but the good news is God 430 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 5: will stop it. It's not going to prosper. That's what 431 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 5: David said. My enemies cannot finish me off. Stay in peace. 432 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 5: God's got your back. He's fighting your battles. He's done 433 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 5: it in the past and he'll do it again. In 434 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 5: the future. The three Hebrew teenagers Shadrack nijaq abed Nego 435 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 5: refused to bow down to King Nebuchaonezzar's golden idol. He 436 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 5: was furious. He was going to have them thrown into 437 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 5: a fiery furnace. I'm sure they prayed, God, please keep 438 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 5: us out of the fire. God, this is dangerous. We 439 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 5: could be killed in there. They wanted God to do 440 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 5: it one way, but God chose to do it another way. 441 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 5: Sometimes God will deliver you from the fire. Other times 442 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 5: God will make you fire proof and take you through 443 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 5: the fire. Those teenagers had their hands and feet bound 444 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 5: with cords. They were thrown into the furnace. Looked like 445 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 5: it was over looked, like they were done. But God 446 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 5: never lets you get into something that he can't bring 447 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 5: you out of. The only thing that fire burned off 448 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 5: were the cords that were holding them back. The king 449 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 5: came to check on them, looked through the window in 450 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 5: the furnace. Couldn't believe it, He asked the guards. Didn't 451 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 5: we throw three men in here bound? I see four 452 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 5: men loose, and one looks like the son of the 453 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 5: living God. King never Kanizza said, hey, guys, from this 454 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 5: day forward. We're all gonna worship the God of shad 455 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 5: Rak Me Jack and a Bendigo. Friends. Your enemies cannot 456 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 5: finish you off. They don't have the final say God does. 457 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 5: You may feel like you're in the fire right now. 458 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,479 Speaker 5: You don't see a way out.
