1 00:00:00,409 --> 00:00:02,990 Speaker 1: Hey, thanks again for being with us today. Always my 2 00:00:03,190 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: honor to be able to share God's word with you 3 00:00:05,380 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: and hopefully inspire you and encourage you. If you're enjoying 4 00:00:08,180 --> 00:00:10,260 Speaker 1: the podcast, I hope you'll share it with a friend, 5 00:00:10,460 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: pass it along. Let's inspire some other people as well, 6 00:00:13,289 --> 00:00:14,990 Speaker 1: but know that we love you. It's going to be 7 00:00:15,010 --> 00:00:18,690 Speaker 1: a blessed day for you. God bless you. It's great 8 00:00:18,730 --> 00:00:21,130 Speaker 1: to be with you today, and I hope you'll stay 9 00:00:21,170 --> 00:00:24,130 Speaker 1: connected with us during the week through our daily podcast, 10 00:00:24,170 --> 00:00:27,590 Speaker 1: our YouTube channel, social media, and you can come visit 11 00:00:27,630 --> 00:00:29,740 Speaker 1: us in person. We'd love to have you be a 12 00:00:29,770 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: part of one of our services. And I like to 13 00:00:32,260 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: start with something funny. And I heard about this man 14 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,110 Speaker 1: that was very stingy with his money. Just before his death, 15 00:00:39,530 --> 00:00:41,550 Speaker 1: he made his wife promise that she would have him 16 00:00:41,590 --> 00:00:46,310 Speaker 1: buried with the $ 50, 000 he had saved. His wife reluctantly agreed. 17 00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:49,490 Speaker 1: And at the funeral, right before they closed the casket, 18 00:00:49,930 --> 00:00:53,690 Speaker 1: she snuck in this small wooden box. Her friend said, Shirley, 19 00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:56,530 Speaker 1: you didn't just bury the money. She said, of course 20 00:00:56,570 --> 00:01:00,150 Speaker 1: I did. I'm a Christian. I can't lie. The friend said, 21 00:01:00,170 --> 00:01:03,810 Speaker 1: you mean you just buried $ 50, 000? She said, yes, I did. 22 00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: I wrote a check. Say it like you mean it. 23 00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:11,220 Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 24 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today, I will be 26 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,020 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 27 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: is alert. My heart is receptive. I will never be 28 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,589 Speaker 1: the same in Jesus name. God bless you. I want 29 00:01:29,610 --> 00:01:33,500 Speaker 1: to talk to you today about help from heaven. We 30 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,580 Speaker 1: all face challenges that we don't see how we can overcome. 31 00:01:37,340 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: We don't have the finances for our dreams or our 32 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,500 Speaker 1: health isn't improving. Maybe a child is still off course. 33 00:01:44,190 --> 00:01:48,070 Speaker 1: It's easy to get discouraged and feel alone and even helpless. 34 00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:51,950 Speaker 1: That's the way David felt. He was hiding in a 35 00:01:52,030 --> 00:01:56,010 Speaker 1: cave trying to survive. King Saul was chasing him through 36 00:01:56,050 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: the desert. Saul had a whole army coming after him. 37 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: David was by himself. He had no weapons, no protection. 38 00:02:04,580 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: What made it worse is David had done no wrong. 39 00:02:08,139 --> 00:02:10,780 Speaker 1: He had been good to King Saul. He played the 40 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: harp when Saul was depressed. He was Saul's armor bearer, 41 00:02:15,220 --> 00:02:18,660 Speaker 1: but Saul became jealous. He couldn't stand the favor on 42 00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: David's life, and now he was making David miserable. Have 43 00:02:22,780 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: you ever been good to someone, but they turned on 44 00:02:25,380 --> 00:02:28,380 Speaker 1: you or You did your best at work, but people 45 00:02:28,419 --> 00:02:31,559 Speaker 1: tried to push you down. You worked hard for a dream, 46 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,060 Speaker 1: but something unfair happened. Now you feel stuck. David could 47 00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: have been bitter, angry. God, why did this happen? This 48 00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: could have been the end of David where he faded 49 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: off into the sunset. But David knew a secret. Sitting 50 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,690 Speaker 1: in that cave, he wrote this passage in Psalm 57.' 51 00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:55,310 Speaker 1: I am surrounded by fierce lions.' those whose teeth pierce 52 00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:59,740 Speaker 1: like spears and tongues cut like swords. I am weary 53 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: from so much distress. He was honest. God, I'm overwhelmed. 54 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,419 Speaker 1: Everything has come against me. I don't know how I 55 00:03:07,460 --> 00:03:11,020 Speaker 1: can go on. He went on to say, I cry 56 00:03:11,139 --> 00:03:14,150 Speaker 1: out to the most high, for he will send help 57 00:03:14,370 --> 00:03:20,050 Speaker 1: from heaven, rescuing me from my enemies. David understood that 58 00:03:20,090 --> 00:03:23,310 Speaker 1: he wasn't fighting on his own. That it wasn't just 59 00:03:23,450 --> 00:03:26,750 Speaker 1: up to him, but help from heaven was on the way. 60 00:03:27,830 --> 00:03:30,810 Speaker 1: He had seen this when he faced Goliath, a giant 61 00:03:30,889 --> 00:03:34,450 Speaker 1: twice his size. He didn't have a chance, the odds 62 00:03:34,530 --> 00:03:38,970 Speaker 1: against him, but help from heaven came. God breathed on 63 00:03:39,010 --> 00:03:42,890 Speaker 1: his slingshot, gave him supernatural ability, and he brought the 64 00:03:42,950 --> 00:03:46,270 Speaker 1: giant down. He should have been stuck out in the 65 00:03:46,350 --> 00:03:50,559 Speaker 1: shepherd's fields where his father left him. Didn't call him 66 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: in when the prophet Samuel came to choose one of 67 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,300 Speaker 1: the sons as the next king. David was overlooked, left out, 68 00:03:58,820 --> 00:04:02,170 Speaker 1: didn't have a fair shot, but help from heaven came. 69 00:04:02,950 --> 00:04:05,610 Speaker 1: The oil wouldn't flow to one of the other sons. 70 00:04:06,330 --> 00:04:10,410 Speaker 1: Samuel couldn't anoint them. Why is that? There are heavenly 71 00:04:10,530 --> 00:04:15,330 Speaker 1: forces fighting for you. Angels God has on assignment to 72 00:04:15,390 --> 00:04:19,349 Speaker 1: assist you. What you're up against may be too much 73 00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:23,650 Speaker 1: for you, but these powerful warriors will push back what's 74 00:04:23,690 --> 00:04:28,029 Speaker 1: trying to stop you. They are dispatched with healing, freedom, 75 00:04:28,110 --> 00:04:32,229 Speaker 1: and breakthroughs. When you run out of options, you don't 76 00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:36,650 Speaker 1: have the strength, the experience. You could live worried. No, 77 00:04:36,690 --> 00:04:41,150 Speaker 1: have a new perspective. Help from heaven is coming. Miracles 78 00:04:41,310 --> 00:04:44,490 Speaker 1: are being set into motion. See, we look at things 79 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,010 Speaker 1: in the natural. Joel, this is what I have. These 80 00:04:48,050 --> 00:04:50,929 Speaker 1: are my options. Here's the medical report. Here's the family 81 00:04:51,029 --> 00:04:54,570 Speaker 1: I come from. What you can't see is what heaven 82 00:04:54,630 --> 00:04:59,010 Speaker 1: is about to do. Jesus said to Peter, it's dangerous 83 00:04:59,089 --> 00:05:02,110 Speaker 1: to see things only from a human point of view. 84 00:05:02,130 --> 00:05:06,470 Speaker 1: It's interesting that Jesus used the word dangerous. That's a 85 00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:10,969 Speaker 1: strong word. He could have said, it's not good. It's unwise. 86 00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: It may limit you. But the reason he said dangerous 87 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,330 Speaker 1: is if you only look at what you're up against 88 00:05:18,430 --> 00:05:22,910 Speaker 1: from a human perspective, you can miss your destiny. You 89 00:05:22,930 --> 00:05:25,630 Speaker 1: can think, man, I'll never get well. Joel saw so 90 00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:29,740 Speaker 1: much bigger. This addiction's strong, but I don't have a chance. No, 91 00:05:29,779 --> 00:05:33,140 Speaker 1: instead of giving up, why don't you look up? Help 92 00:05:33,220 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: from heaven is on the way. You are God's most 93 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,229 Speaker 1: prized possession. He chose you before you could choose him. 94 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: He's planned your days and ordered your steps, crowned you 95 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,619 Speaker 1: with favor. He goes before you making crooked places straight. 96 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,539 Speaker 1: He has his angels watching after you. You're not doing 97 00:05:53,580 --> 00:05:57,349 Speaker 1: life on your own. All of heaven is fighting for you. 98 00:05:58,430 --> 00:06:01,310 Speaker 1: When you can't figure out what to do, how to 99 00:06:01,350 --> 00:06:03,890 Speaker 1: work out, that's when you have to do like David. 100 00:06:04,490 --> 00:06:08,090 Speaker 1: It's okay to be honest. God, this child is breaking 101 00:06:08,130 --> 00:06:12,050 Speaker 1: my heart. This medical report doesn't look good. This jerk 102 00:06:12,089 --> 00:06:13,969 Speaker 1: at work, I mean, this person at work is getting 103 00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:16,620 Speaker 1: on my nerves. But God, I want to thank you 104 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,820 Speaker 1: that help from heaven is on the way, that you're 105 00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: fighting my battle, sustaining me, providing, protecting, bringing victory. David said, 106 00:06:26,580 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: I will lift my eyes to the heavens from whence 107 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,250 Speaker 1: my help comes. I talked to a man after service 108 00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:35,750 Speaker 1: last week and asked him how he was doing and 109 00:06:36,330 --> 00:06:40,010 Speaker 1: Seemed like he was fine, looked successful and content, but 110 00:06:40,050 --> 00:06:42,590 Speaker 1: he put his head down for a long time. He 111 00:06:42,630 --> 00:06:45,349 Speaker 1: finally looked up and said, Joel, I'm going through hell. 112 00:06:45,970 --> 00:06:49,830 Speaker 1: He lost a family member tragically and dealing with an illness. 113 00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:53,850 Speaker 1: He said, I feel so lost, so alone, so overwhelmed, 114 00:06:54,110 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: big tears running down his cheeks. There's a lot of 115 00:06:57,130 --> 00:07:01,059 Speaker 1: pain in the world, a lot of sadness. The scripture says, 116 00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:05,570 Speaker 1: God collects your tears. He knows the pain and the 117 00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:09,650 Speaker 1: unfair things. These times, we don't have any good options. 118 00:07:10,030 --> 00:07:13,330 Speaker 1: There's no way out. But can I encourage you, when 119 00:07:13,430 --> 00:07:17,830 Speaker 1: hell comes against you, heaven comes to rescue. You are 120 00:07:17,970 --> 00:07:23,090 Speaker 1: God's property. You belong to the Most High. He has 121 00:07:23,130 --> 00:07:25,810 Speaker 1: you in the palm of His hand. He's not going 122 00:07:25,830 --> 00:07:29,210 Speaker 1: to leave you defenseless. When forces come to try to 123 00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:33,610 Speaker 1: stop your destiny, bring trouble, loss, looks like you're stuck, 124 00:07:34,310 --> 00:07:39,660 Speaker 1: Heaven doesn't stay silent. Angels are dispatched. Miracles are set 125 00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: into motion. God is fighting for you. Turnarounds are coming. 126 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,460 Speaker 1: Things that you couldn't make happen. Looks like you're at 127 00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: the mercy of the medical reporter. That child's too far 128 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,150 Speaker 1: off course now. The addiction's too strong. Stay in peace. 129 00:07:55,450 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: You have a defender, a way maker, a healer, a provider, 130 00:08:00,580 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: a chain breaker. Help from heaven is on the way. 131 00:08:11,900 --> 00:08:15,410 Speaker 1: I was watching this old western movie and this army 132 00:08:15,470 --> 00:08:19,210 Speaker 1: had dwindled down to nothing. They'd been battered and bruised 133 00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:23,060 Speaker 1: and lost many men and now they're running out of supplies, 134 00:08:23,140 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: all beat up on their last leg. There was an 135 00:08:27,220 --> 00:08:30,780 Speaker 1: enemy army on the other side of the mountain, much bigger, 136 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: much more equipment. They were about to attack. It was 137 00:08:34,179 --> 00:08:37,090 Speaker 1: a very emotional scene as they were coming to the 138 00:08:37,330 --> 00:08:40,469 Speaker 1: end and they were saying their goodbyes and preparing to 139 00:08:40,550 --> 00:08:44,530 Speaker 1: either be captured or killed. They'd already accepted defeat, wasn't 140 00:08:44,570 --> 00:08:47,970 Speaker 1: any way out. But way off in the distance, One 141 00:08:48,090 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: soldier saw this dust billowing from an army approaching, these 142 00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: horses coming full speed. They were confused because the enemy 143 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: army was in the other direction. They got their binoculars 144 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,690 Speaker 1: focused in. When they saw the flag, they realized it 145 00:09:05,730 --> 00:09:09,349 Speaker 1: was an ally army coming to rescue them. In a 146 00:09:09,390 --> 00:09:13,069 Speaker 1: few minutes, they heard the bugles playing. They couldn't believe it. 147 00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:17,270 Speaker 1: They started shouting, the cavalry is coming, the cavalry is coming. 148 00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:21,329 Speaker 1: I mean, one moment they were discouraged, thinking they were done, 149 00:09:21,390 --> 00:09:26,270 Speaker 1: preparing to surrender. Now they're excited. They got all this power, force, 150 00:09:26,290 --> 00:09:31,020 Speaker 1: and backup. When that enemy army came, it was like surprise. 151 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: We are not who you thought we were. We're bigger, stronger, 152 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: more powerful. They easily defeated the opposition. Well, sometimes in life, 153 00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:45,189 Speaker 1: like that man said, hell has come against us. We're 154 00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:48,910 Speaker 1: dealing with a sickness, sir. family trouble or business had 155 00:09:48,980 --> 00:09:53,220 Speaker 1: a setback and we end up bruised, kind of alone. 156 00:09:54,020 --> 00:09:59,130 Speaker 1: We're suffering from battle fatigue. We've stood strong. We fought well, 157 00:09:59,190 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: but now we don't think we have the strength to 158 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,460 Speaker 1: keep pursuing the dream, the passion to keep fighting for 159 00:10:05,540 --> 00:10:09,180 Speaker 1: our marriage, the endurance to keep believing for our healing. 160 00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:13,660 Speaker 1: We're tired. What you can't see is the Calvary is coming. 161 00:10:14,370 --> 00:10:17,729 Speaker 1: There are forces that have your back. When you run 162 00:10:17,770 --> 00:10:21,180 Speaker 1: out of options, out of strength, heaven is on the way. 163 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: Angels are en route to assist you, to push back darkness, 164 00:10:26,540 --> 00:10:29,870 Speaker 1: to open doors you couldn't open, to bring healing, to 165 00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:35,110 Speaker 1: bring breakthrough. It's interesting that it's called the Calvary, reinforcements 166 00:10:35,130 --> 00:10:39,370 Speaker 1: and backup. When heaven comes, it's because of what happened 167 00:10:39,470 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: on Calvary. It's because Jesus gave his life, defeated the enemy. 168 00:10:44,780 --> 00:10:48,750 Speaker 1: Now he has all power. That phrase, the Calvary is coming, 169 00:10:48,770 --> 00:10:51,670 Speaker 1: of course, in the natural, it means backup and soldiers. 170 00:10:52,250 --> 00:10:55,010 Speaker 1: But when we say the Calvary is coming, I'm talking 171 00:10:55,050 --> 00:10:59,420 Speaker 1: about heavenly forces, the most high God fighting for you. 172 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: On your own, you may be outnumbered. What you're up 173 00:11:04,420 --> 00:11:08,740 Speaker 1: against is bigger, more powerful. But I've got my binoculars. 174 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: Through my eyes of faith, I can see dust in 175 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,180 Speaker 1: the distance. I can hear the trumpets blowing. What is that? 176 00:11:15,420 --> 00:11:19,300 Speaker 1: The Calvary is on the way. That sickness should take 177 00:11:19,330 --> 00:11:23,370 Speaker 1: you out, but healing is coming. That bad break should 178 00:11:23,470 --> 00:11:27,330 Speaker 1: keep you in debt, but abundance is coming. That family 179 00:11:27,390 --> 00:11:30,950 Speaker 1: member running with the wrong crowd should stop his purpose, 180 00:11:31,210 --> 00:11:35,709 Speaker 1: but breakthrough is coming. Backup forces are headed your way. 181 00:11:36,730 --> 00:11:41,060 Speaker 1: angels with the favor of God on assignment to assist you, 182 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: to strengthen you, to fight for you. If you could 183 00:11:45,220 --> 00:11:49,359 Speaker 1: see into the unseen realm, you would see these powerful 184 00:11:49,740 --> 00:11:54,050 Speaker 1: warriors working on your behalf, pushing back what's trying to 185 00:11:54,110 --> 00:11:59,109 Speaker 1: stop you, breaking through what belongs to you. When thoughts 186 00:11:59,150 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: tell you, no, you're stuck, It's too much. You're too tired. 187 00:12:03,220 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: You fought too long. Just look up and say, Father, 188 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,020 Speaker 1: thank you that the Calvary is coming. Thank you that 189 00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:13,670 Speaker 1: help from heaven is on the way. Heaven's help is supernatural. 190 00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:18,829 Speaker 1: It's good breaks chasing you down, healing, the right people 191 00:12:18,950 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: showing up, freedom from bondages, generational limitations being broken. Second 192 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,700 Speaker 1: Kings chapter six, The king of Syria found out that 193 00:12:29,740 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: the prophet Elisha was telling the Israelites battle plans of 194 00:12:34,570 --> 00:12:37,850 Speaker 1: the Syrian army. Every time they made a move to 195 00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:41,010 Speaker 1: attack the Israelites, Elisha knew it and went and told 196 00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:45,370 Speaker 1: the commanders. They were always one step ahead of the Syrians. Well, 197 00:12:45,390 --> 00:12:50,150 Speaker 1: this king was furious. He sent a whole army, thousands 198 00:12:50,190 --> 00:12:55,690 Speaker 1: of soldiers and horses to capture one man, Elisha. That's 199 00:12:55,730 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: how powerful you are. The enemy knows it. The question is, 200 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: do you know it? Do you realize who you are 201 00:13:03,820 --> 00:13:07,070 Speaker 1: and what you have? That because you belong to the 202 00:13:07,170 --> 00:13:10,829 Speaker 1: Most High, His favor is on your life? That there 203 00:13:10,890 --> 00:13:15,430 Speaker 1: are heavenly forces backing you up? The army snuck up 204 00:13:15,490 --> 00:13:20,569 Speaker 1: at night and surrounded Elisha's house. The next morning, Elisha's 205 00:13:20,630 --> 00:13:25,490 Speaker 1: assistant went out. When he saw thousands of troops and horses, 206 00:13:25,530 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: he panicked. ran back in, woke Elisha up. Sir, we're surrounded. 207 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: There's no way out. Everywhere I looked, I saw the 208 00:13:34,940 --> 00:13:39,569 Speaker 1: Syrian army, not hundreds, but thousands. He was so distraught, 209 00:13:39,910 --> 00:13:43,829 Speaker 1: so upset. Elisha said, don't worry. There are more for 210 00:13:44,050 --> 00:13:47,620 Speaker 1: us than there are against us. His assistant thought he 211 00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:51,540 Speaker 1: must still be asleep. He's groggy. He doesn't understand it. No, Elisha, 212 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,260 Speaker 1: there are two of us. There are thousands of them. 213 00:13:56,020 --> 00:13:59,380 Speaker 1: This is why Jesus said it's dangerous if you only 214 00:13:59,460 --> 00:14:02,829 Speaker 1: see things from a human point of view, because the 215 00:14:02,870 --> 00:14:07,150 Speaker 1: assistant was correct. They were surrounded. It was two people, 216 00:14:07,370 --> 00:14:12,750 Speaker 1: verse 20,000. But Elisha understood that when the enemy comes 217 00:14:12,830 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: against you, heaven shows up. God doesn't stay silent. You 218 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,310 Speaker 1: may be outnumbered in the natural, but in the unseen realm, 219 00:14:22,590 --> 00:14:25,390 Speaker 1: there are more for you than there are against you. 220 00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:29,810 Speaker 1: While you were sleeping, the Calvary showed up. God is 221 00:14:30,010 --> 00:14:34,170 Speaker 1: watching over you. Nothing happens that he doesn't see. When 222 00:14:34,250 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: Saul's chasing you and you're hiding in that cave, so 223 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,780 Speaker 1: to speak, you can say like David, I know help 224 00:14:40,820 --> 00:14:45,300 Speaker 1: from heaven is on the way. Elisha, He didn't condemn 225 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,460 Speaker 1: the assistant. Man, you need to have more faith. Why 226 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: are you always doubting? He simply prayed. Lord, open his 227 00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:55,890 Speaker 1: eyes and let him see. He went back out and 228 00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:59,270 Speaker 1: looked a second time. This time he could see into 229 00:14:59,310 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: the unseen realms. He didn't just see the army that 230 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,070 Speaker 1: was surrounding them. He saw a heavenly army, hundreds of 231 00:15:07,190 --> 00:15:13,130 Speaker 1: thousands of these powerful, warring angels dressed and ready for battle, 232 00:15:13,530 --> 00:15:18,090 Speaker 1: chariots of fire all across the mountainside. He thought he 233 00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: was surrounded. The fact is the enemy was surrounded. You 234 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: may feel like you're surrounded today and what you're up 235 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,630 Speaker 1: against is bigger, stronger. It's closing in. But what you 236 00:15:29,670 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: can't see is the forces of heaven are surrounding what's 237 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: surrounding you. Feels like that trouble, that debt, that cancer 238 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,700 Speaker 1: has you surrounded, but the Calvary has shown up. That 239 00:15:42,820 --> 00:15:47,170 Speaker 1: cancer is surrounded by the forces of heaven. Your child 240 00:15:47,290 --> 00:15:51,430 Speaker 1: is surrounded by angels. Your business is surrounded by the 241 00:15:51,550 --> 00:15:56,170 Speaker 1: favor of God. He's your protector, your shield, your healer, 242 00:15:56,210 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: your provider. No, having faith doesn't keep us from trouble, 243 00:16:01,540 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: but when trouble shows up, heaven comes down. God dispatches 244 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,060 Speaker 1: these warring angels to watch after you, protect you, to 245 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,220 Speaker 1: push back the darkness. And Elisha prayed that God would 246 00:16:14,260 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: make this enemy army blind to who he was. The 247 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,830 Speaker 1: Syrian commander knocked on the door, said, we're here looking 248 00:16:21,850 --> 00:16:25,710 Speaker 1: for Elisha. Elisha said, I'm so sorry he's not here. 249 00:16:26,390 --> 00:16:29,230 Speaker 1: You've got the wrong house. In fact, you're in the 250 00:16:29,270 --> 00:16:33,330 Speaker 1: wrong city. If you'll follow me, I'll take you to Elisha. 251 00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:38,130 Speaker 1: One lie after another. Sometimes you have to lie in faith. 252 00:16:39,190 --> 00:16:40,890 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's in the scripture, but anyway, 253 00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: this commander said, thank you so much. He followed Elisha 254 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,260 Speaker 1: all the way to Samaria to the Israelites camp. When 255 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: they arrived, Elisha prayed. Now God opened their eyes. Suddenly 256 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: they realized they were in Samaria captured by the Israelites. 257 00:16:58,390 --> 00:17:01,620 Speaker 1: The scripture says, the trap the enemy set for you, 258 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,700 Speaker 1: they will fall in themselves. God knows how to turn 259 00:17:05,780 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: things in your favor. I know this mother that was 260 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: so concerned about her son. He'd grown up in church, 261 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: had great parents, but after college, he started running with 262 00:17:16,940 --> 00:17:21,419 Speaker 1: the wrong crowd and got involved in drugs, struggled with addictions. 263 00:17:22,070 --> 00:17:25,629 Speaker 1: He ended up selling drugs. His life was spiraling out 264 00:17:25,650 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: of control. This mother had done everything she could, prayed, 265 00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:33,380 Speaker 1: stood in faith. She got him into recovery at one point, 266 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: but he wouldn't stay there. This had gone on year 267 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: after year, and now she was tired, run down, didn't 268 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,860 Speaker 1: know any more she could do. God sees these times. 269 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,410 Speaker 1: You feel helpless, alone. You don't have any more options. 270 00:17:49,850 --> 00:17:53,830 Speaker 1: Stay in peace. The Calvary is coming. Like with Elisha, 271 00:17:54,550 --> 00:17:58,510 Speaker 1: angels have been dispatched to push back the darkness, to 272 00:17:58,590 --> 00:18:02,830 Speaker 1: rescue your child, to bring your healing, the freedom, the breakthroughs. 273 00:18:03,330 --> 00:18:06,910 Speaker 1: You're not fighting on your own. Heaven is fighting for you. 274 00:18:07,970 --> 00:18:12,189 Speaker 1: God is concerned about what concerns you. A child that 275 00:18:12,230 --> 00:18:16,350 Speaker 1: keeps you up at night, the medical situation, the struggle 276 00:18:16,410 --> 00:18:19,409 Speaker 1: in your business, thoughts whisper, man, you're on your own. 277 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: Nobody cares. Just get through it. No, God knows everything 278 00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:27,409 Speaker 1: you're going through. He feels the pain He sees the 279 00:18:27,470 --> 00:18:31,250 Speaker 1: lonely nights. He's going to step in and do things 280 00:18:31,290 --> 00:18:34,670 Speaker 1: that you can't do One night this young man was 281 00:18:34,770 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: in another country a drug deal had gone wrong and 282 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: he owed this man a lot of money and wasn't 283 00:18:40,660 --> 00:18:44,060 Speaker 1: able to pay and These people were after him. His 284 00:18:44,140 --> 00:18:46,580 Speaker 1: life was on the line. He was hiding in a 285 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: bathroom in this old downtown warehouse. He locked the door, 286 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,719 Speaker 1: got behind the stall, hoping that he wouldn't be found. 287 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: Hour after hour went by. He was so afraid. He 288 00:18:58,859 --> 00:19:01,010 Speaker 1: knew if he was caught, wasn't going to be good. 289 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,370 Speaker 1: Three in the morning, he heard rumbling outside the building, 290 00:19:05,890 --> 00:19:09,850 Speaker 1: people talking, all this commotion and His heart was beating 291 00:19:09,970 --> 00:19:13,510 Speaker 1: so fast. He knew they were closing in. The warehouse 292 00:19:13,570 --> 00:19:16,990 Speaker 1: door flung open. He could hear the footsteps getting closer 293 00:19:17,030 --> 00:19:19,970 Speaker 1: and closer. People calling his name. Where are you? Where 294 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: are you? Then the moment came he feared the most. 295 00:19:24,140 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: They started pulling on the bathroom door, trying to break 296 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,100 Speaker 1: the lock, working, working. Finally, one of the men stepped 297 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,860 Speaker 1: back and kicked with all his might. The door came 298 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: crashing open, slammed against the wall, sounded like an explosion. 299 00:19:38,060 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: He thought, oh man, I'm done. This is the end. 300 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,510 Speaker 1: He had accepted his fate was sealed. As he was 301 00:19:44,570 --> 00:19:48,250 Speaker 1: sitting there braced for the harm, they opened the stall 302 00:19:48,650 --> 00:19:52,020 Speaker 1: and said, we're with team Challenge. We heard you were 303 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: in trouble. We came to rescue you. This young man 304 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,270 Speaker 1: was a part of Teen Challenge many years earlier. It's 305 00:19:59,290 --> 00:20:02,770 Speaker 1: a ministry for young people. Somehow they had gotten word 306 00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: in this foreign country that he needed help. They got 307 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,140 Speaker 1: him out of there and saved his life. Today he's 308 00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:14,030 Speaker 1: free and clean, fulfilling his purpose. What am I saying? 309 00:20:14,490 --> 00:20:17,369 Speaker 1: When you don't see a way out, help from heaven 310 00:20:17,430 --> 00:20:21,129 Speaker 1: is coming. God knows how to speak to the right people. 311 00:20:21,790 --> 00:20:23,929 Speaker 1: He knows how to keep you hidden from the enemy, 312 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: how to rescue you from trouble, turn your sickness around, 313 00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: open doors that you couldn't open. Maybe you're in a 314 00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:35,540 Speaker 1: situation like this mother. You prayed and You stood in faith, 315 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: but it hasn't worked out. You're tempted to think you're stuck. 316 00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:44,179 Speaker 1: You'll always be lonely, have family issues, can't get out 317 00:20:44,220 --> 00:20:48,020 Speaker 1: of that financial strain. I've got good news. The Calvary 318 00:20:48,060 --> 00:20:52,670 Speaker 1: is coming. Backup is on the way. Reinforcement is already 319 00:20:52,790 --> 00:20:57,670 Speaker 1: in route. Things you can't explain, favor you didn't deserve. 320 00:20:58,330 --> 00:21:02,580 Speaker 1: Healing that confounds the experts. breakthroughs when it looked permanent, 321 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,090 Speaker 1: the right people suddenly finding you. Wasn't a lucky break. 322 00:21:07,590 --> 00:21:11,170 Speaker 1: Wasn't a coincidence. That was help from heaven. That was 323 00:21:11,210 --> 00:21:15,470 Speaker 1: the most high rescuing, protecting, bringing you out of what 324 00:21:15,490 --> 00:21:19,050 Speaker 1: should have stopped you. Luke chapter one, there was a 325 00:21:19,070 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: man named Zachariah. His wife, Elizabeth had been barren for 326 00:21:23,619 --> 00:21:26,179 Speaker 1: her whole life, not able to have a child. And 327 00:21:26,740 --> 00:21:29,060 Speaker 1: now they were both way too old to have children. 328 00:21:29,730 --> 00:21:32,610 Speaker 1: For many years, they had prayed and believed to have 329 00:21:32,650 --> 00:21:35,270 Speaker 1: a baby, but it didn't work out the way they thought. 330 00:21:35,869 --> 00:21:38,689 Speaker 1: They had accepted it wasn't meant to be. Well, an 331 00:21:38,910 --> 00:21:43,170 Speaker 1: angel appeared to Zachariah and said, God has heard your prayer. 332 00:21:43,619 --> 00:21:46,740 Speaker 1: Your wife, Elizabeth, will have a son. You are to 333 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,180 Speaker 1: name him John. They had given up on having a baby, 334 00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: but notice God heard their prayers. All those prayers you prayed, 335 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,740 Speaker 1: but nothing happened. You think it's too late. That ship 336 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: has already sailed. You don't know what God is up to. 337 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes God will wait on purpose where the odds will 338 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: be against us in a greater way. So when he 339 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,270 Speaker 1: does it, everyone will know it's his power. It's his 340 00:22:15,369 --> 00:22:19,690 Speaker 1: favor on your life. Zacharias said to the angel, I 341 00:22:19,710 --> 00:22:22,390 Speaker 1: don't see how this can happen. I am an old 342 00:22:22,470 --> 00:22:27,350 Speaker 1: man and my wife is well along in years. Notice 343 00:22:27,420 --> 00:22:30,270 Speaker 1: he didn't call his wife an old lady. He's a 344 00:22:30,330 --> 00:22:34,190 Speaker 1: smart man. Our wives are never old. They're well along 345 00:22:34,230 --> 00:22:39,230 Speaker 1: in years. Zechariah doubted. He said, that's not possible. That 346 00:22:39,290 --> 00:22:43,130 Speaker 1: defies logic. He was telling the angel all the reasons 347 00:22:43,170 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: it wouldn't happen. The angel said, Zechariah, I am Gabriel. 348 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,219 Speaker 1: I stand in the very presence of God. What he 349 00:22:51,260 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: has spoken will come to pass. Zechariah was looking at 350 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: it in the natural way. Gabriel said, I've come from heaven. 351 00:23:00,140 --> 00:23:02,990 Speaker 1: I have help that you haven't seen. The most high 352 00:23:03,070 --> 00:23:07,530 Speaker 1: God has given me his authority. We all face situations 353 00:23:07,670 --> 00:23:12,110 Speaker 1: like Zachariah that seem impossible. It's too late to accomplish 354 00:23:12,150 --> 00:23:16,139 Speaker 1: a dream. The problem too big. I'll never meet the 355 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: right person, never have a baby. We look at it logically. 356 00:23:20,380 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: How can it happen? There's no way. But imagine Gabriel 357 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: standing before you, this powerful, majestic angel. He says, wait 358 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,310 Speaker 1: a minute. I stand in the presence of almighty God. 359 00:23:32,940 --> 00:23:36,590 Speaker 1: I carry the authority of the most high to release 360 00:23:36,890 --> 00:23:41,270 Speaker 1: heaven's hell, to bring about what he has purposed. All 361 00:23:41,290 --> 00:23:44,410 Speaker 1: of heaven is backing up what God put in your heart. 362 00:23:45,369 --> 00:23:47,770 Speaker 1: And you may be correct, it can't happen in the natural, 363 00:23:48,170 --> 00:23:52,470 Speaker 1: but supernatural forces at work, help from heaven is coming 364 00:23:52,510 --> 00:23:55,949 Speaker 1: to do what you can't do. Now don't talk yourself 365 00:23:56,030 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: out of it. Gabriel told Zechariah, since you doubted, since 366 00:24:00,340 --> 00:24:03,420 Speaker 1: you're gonna go around speaking against what God has purposed, 367 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna shut your mouth and you're not gonna be 368 00:24:06,580 --> 00:24:10,820 Speaker 1: able to talk. For nine months, he couldn't speak. That's 369 00:24:10,859 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: how powerful our words are. You go around saying, I'll 370 00:24:14,260 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: never get well. I can't break the addiction. We'll always struggle. 371 00:24:18,940 --> 00:24:23,220 Speaker 1: You are stopping help from heaven. You are blocking the blessing. 372 00:24:23,619 --> 00:24:26,770 Speaker 1: Do yourself a favor, zip it up. If you can't 373 00:24:26,830 --> 00:24:31,710 Speaker 1: be positive, be quiet. If you can't speak victory, then 374 00:24:31,750 --> 00:24:35,970 Speaker 1: don't say anything at all. Nine months later, when the 375 00:24:36,010 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: baby was born, Zachariah could talk again. Gabriel appeared to 376 00:24:40,820 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: another woman around that same time, a teenage girl named Mary. 377 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: He said, Mary, you found favor with God. You will 378 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: conceive without knowing a man, give birth to a son. 379 00:24:51,859 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: You were to name him Jesus. Mary answered back, how 380 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,090 Speaker 1: can this be without knowing a man? Gabriel said, the 381 00:24:59,170 --> 00:25:01,429 Speaker 1: spirit of God will come on you and cause you 382 00:25:01,450 --> 00:25:05,330 Speaker 1: to conceive. He was saying, don't worry, Mary, help from 383 00:25:05,430 --> 00:25:08,949 Speaker 1: heaven is coming. Now she could have done like Zachariah. 384 00:25:09,410 --> 00:25:13,060 Speaker 1: Doubt it, I don't think so. That's impossible. But Mary 385 00:25:13,140 --> 00:25:16,619 Speaker 1: simply said, be it unto me, even as you have said. 386 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,590 Speaker 1: She said, in effect, let it happen. I'm a believer, 387 00:25:20,609 --> 00:25:24,050 Speaker 1: not a doubter. God puts promises in all of our 388 00:25:24,109 --> 00:25:27,590 Speaker 1: hearts that don't seem possible, that you're going to get well, 389 00:25:28,250 --> 00:25:30,590 Speaker 1: that your children will be mighty in the land, that 390 00:25:30,609 --> 00:25:34,540 Speaker 1: you will lend and not borrow. The question is, are 391 00:25:34,580 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: you going to be like Zachariah or are you going 392 00:25:37,380 --> 00:25:40,290 Speaker 1: to be like Mary? Are you going to doubt? And 393 00:25:40,390 --> 00:25:42,780 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Or are you going to say 394 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: like Mary, God, let it happen. Send heaven down. Fight 395 00:25:47,060 --> 00:25:51,300 Speaker 1: my battle. Show yourself strong in my life. Friends, you're 396 00:25:51,340 --> 00:25:55,139 Speaker 1: not fighting alone. All of heaven is backing you up. 397 00:25:55,970 --> 00:25:58,729 Speaker 1: It may look like that situation will never turn around. 398 00:25:59,310 --> 00:26:03,609 Speaker 1: Nothing's improving. Can I remind you again that Calvary is coming? 399 00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:06,659 Speaker 1: I can hear trumpets. I can see the dust in 400 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,780 Speaker 1: the distance. Help from heaven is on the way. God 401 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: has heard your prayers. He sees you standing in faith, 402 00:26:14,980 --> 00:26:18,750 Speaker 1: doing the right thing, and angels are on assignment right now, 403 00:26:19,130 --> 00:26:24,369 Speaker 1: dispatched with your healing, your freedom, your spouse. Miracles have 404 00:26:24,410 --> 00:26:27,510 Speaker 1: been set into motion. Now you do your part. Keep 405 00:26:27,630 --> 00:26:31,990 Speaker 1: thanking God that he's working. Now believe and declare heaven 406 00:26:32,130 --> 00:26:37,469 Speaker 1: is about to come down. Supernatural strength, healing, provision, the 407 00:26:37,630 --> 00:26:41,989 Speaker 1: fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name. And if you 408 00:26:42,030 --> 00:26:45,910 Speaker 1: receive it, can you say amen? I'd like to give 409 00:26:45,930 --> 00:26:49,030 Speaker 1: you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life. 410 00:26:49,410 --> 00:26:53,060 Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, I 411 00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:57,020 Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make 412 00:26:57,060 --> 00:27:00,820 Speaker 1: you my Lord and Savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, 413 00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:03,950 Speaker 1: we believe you got born again. We'd love to send 414 00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:06,830 Speaker 1: you some free information on your new walk with the Lord. 415 00:27:07,109 --> 00:27:09,390 Speaker 1: You can text the number on the screen or go 416 00:27:09,430 --> 00:27:11,889 Speaker 1: to the website. But I hope you'll get into a 417 00:27:11,990 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: good Bible-based church and keep God first place. A few 418 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: years ago, I stood in a forest of giant redwoods, 419 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,020 Speaker 1: trees hundreds of feet tall and thousands of years old. 420 00:27:31,619 --> 00:27:34,420 Speaker 1: I remember thinking every one of them started as a 421 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,050 Speaker 1: single seed, something you could hold in your hand. But 422 00:27:38,109 --> 00:27:41,010 Speaker 1: I was amazed at what they had become. That's not 423 00:27:41,070 --> 00:27:43,949 Speaker 1: just true of trees. It's true of you. There are 424 00:27:44,050 --> 00:27:46,889 Speaker 1: seeds God has already placed in you that are waiting 425 00:27:46,930 --> 00:27:49,739 Speaker 1: to come to life.
