Speaker 3: State to God.

44
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 4: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

45
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 4: about this man. He called the church office and said,

46
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 4: I want to speak.

47
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 5: To the head hog at the trough. The secretary was offended.

48
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 5: She said, if you mean the pastor, you're going to

49
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 5: have to call him pastor, but you may not call

50
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 5: him the head hog at the trough. He said, well, fine,

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 5: I was thinking about making a ten thousand dollars donation

52
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 5: to your church.

53
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: She said, hang on, Porky just walked in.

54
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 5: Hold up your bible. Say it like you mean it.

55
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 5: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

56
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do

57
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be

58
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

59
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

60
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 5: the same, never, never, never, I'll never be the same.

61
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 4: In Jesus' name, God bless you.

62
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 5: I want to talk to you tonight about nothing is wasted.

63
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 5: Victoria and I have some flower beds at home, and

64
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 5: several times a year we put mulch in those beds.

65
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 5: Mulch is a fertilizer that helps the plants to grow.

66
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 4: One of the main ingredients of mulch is manure.

67
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 5: It's waste. It smells lily bad. For a couple of days,

68
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 5: you can hardly walk outside. Our kids say, Dad, what

69
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 5: happened out here?

70
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: It's stinks. The smell is so strong.

71
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: But if you come back in a month or two,

72
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 5: the smell is gone and the plants are blooming.

73
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: They're blossoming, they're seeing new growth. The fertilizer, as bad as.

74
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 5: It smells, it's giving the plants valuable nutrients and minerals

75
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 5: that they could not get otherwise. In the same way,

76
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 5: we all go through some things in life that stink.

77
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: We don't like.

78
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 5: It wasn't fair. Why did my relationship not make it?

79
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 5: Why did I come down with this sickness? Why did

80
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 5: I lose my main client?

81
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 4: That stinks?

82
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 5: Now you need to have a new perspective. That's fertilizer.

83
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 5: It may smell bad right now, may seem like a

84
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 5: bunch of manure got dumped on you, but if you

85
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 5: will stay in faith, that's not going to hinder you.

86
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 4: It's going to strengthen you.

87
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 5: The stinky stuff, the loss, the disappointments, the betrayals, it's

88
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 5: preparing you for new growth to bloom, to blossom, to

89
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 5: become all you were created to be. The truth is,

90
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 5: you cannot reach your highest potential without fertilizer. The stinky

91
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 5: stuff is not working against you.

92
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 4: It's working for you.

93
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 5: It may smell bad right now, but if you'll keep

94
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 5: doing the right thing, you will come into.

95
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 4: A new season of growth.

96
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: Now.

97
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 5: I would love to tell you, if you have faith,

98
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 5: you trust God, you'll be your best. You'll sell through

99
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 5: life with no difficult But that's not reality.

100
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 4: You're going to have some manure. There's going to be

101
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: some stinky stuff.

102
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 5: What I want us to see is God wouldn't have

103
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 5: allowed it unless he was ultimately going to.

104
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 4: Use it for your good.

105
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 5: Instead of complaining thinking, oh man, this stinks.

106
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: I can't believe this happened. No, have the attitude.

107
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 5: It's just more fertilizer. God's getting me prepared for something greater.

108
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 5: If you'll go through the stink with the right attitude,

109
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 5: God will take what was meant for your harm and

110
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 5: he'll use it to your advantage. You may feel like

111
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 5: you've had more than your share of stinky stuff, bad breaks, disappointments,

112
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 5: broken dreams.

113
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 4: Be encouraged.

114
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 5: That just means you have a lot of fertilizer. God's

115
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 5: getting you ready to go where you've never been, and

116
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 5: this is not the time to be discouraged.

117
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 4: Have a chip on your shoulder. This is the time

118
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 4: to get ready.

119
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 5: God allowed that fertilizer to get you prepared for where

120
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 5: you could not go on your own.

121
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 4: You may not have liked it, but.

122
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 5: It deposited something in you that you could only gain

123
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 5: by going through it.

124
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 4: You couldn't learn it by reading a book, by listening

125
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 4: to a message, by taking a class.

126
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 5: You could only learn it through experience, through the trial

127
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 5: of your faith.

128
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 4: That's where we're really developed. David said.

129
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 5: God enlarged me in my time of distress. He didn't

130
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 5: get enlarged in the good times. He got enlarged in

131
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 5: the tough times. That difficulty is strengthening you. It's getting

132
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 5: you prepared. Now you're in position to go to a

133
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 5: new level. Quit complaining about the fertilizer. Quit talking about

134
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 5: who hurts you, what didn't work out, all the manure that.

135
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 4: Got dumped on you.

136
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 5: Without the stinky stuff, you couldn't reach the fullness of

137
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 5: your destiny. It's not hindering you, it's helping you. If

138
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 5: it was too much, God would have never allowed it.

139
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 5: To dig your heels in and say I am in

140
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 5: it to win it. I am not going to let

141
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 5: this stinky stuff this stuff I don't understand caused me

142
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 5: to give up.

143
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: On my dreams. I know it's fertilizer. It's strengthening me,

144
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 4: it's enlarging me, it's getting me prepared for new levels.

145
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 5: That's what a friend of mine did that grew up

146
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 5: in a very difficult situation. Her father died when she

147
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 5: was six years old. Her mother had to go on

148
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 5: dialysis shortly after that.

149
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 4: When other children.

150
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 5: Were out cheerleading and having fun, she was having to

151
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 5: take care of her mother. Twelve years old, She'd have

152
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 5: to go to the grocery store and cook for the family.

153
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 5: She had to get her little brother dressed and ready

154
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 5: for school each day. It looked like she was at

155
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 5: a disadvantage, like that hardship would keep her from her destiny.

156
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 4: But just because.

157
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 5: Something unfair has happened doesn't mean God doesn't have an

158
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 5: amazing future still in front of you. It may stink

159
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 5: right now, but remember her manure has.

160
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 4: A lot of helpful ingredients.

161
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 5: It's fertilizer used the right way, it gives you an advantage.

162
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 4: It causes growth.

163
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 5: And this young lady, she didn't have a victim mentality.

164
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 5: She had a victor mentality.

165
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 4: She didn't go around complaining. She kept being her best.

166
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 5: Taking the high road, not letting negative.

167
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 4: Thoughts talk her out of her dreams.

168
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 5: In spite of all the odds being against her, she

169
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 5: excelled in high school. She got a full scholarship to

170
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 5: a major university. She went on to get her master's degree.

171
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 5: Today she has her doctorate degree. She's extremely successful in

172
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 5: the corporate world, happily married three beautiful children.

173
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 4: Here's my question, why.

174
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 5: Does some people in that same type situation struggle through life, defeated, discourage,

175
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 5: always overcome by problems, and yet others like her overcome

176
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 5: the odds and see.

177
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 4: God's blessing and favor in great way As.

178
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 5: It's in our approach to life. We all have stinky stuff,

179
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 5: unfair things that we don't like. We can get bitter, sour, discouraged,

180
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 5: or we can see it as fertilizer and say, this

181
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 5: difficulty is not going to defeat me, it's going to

182
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 5: promote me. God wouldn't have allowed it unless he had

183
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 5: a purpose. Don't just go through it, grow through it.

184
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 5: Recognize it's making you stronger. You're developing trust, confidence, determination,

185
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 5: You are well able. If God be for you, who

186
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 5: dare be against you. You got to put your shoulders back,

187
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 5: hold your head up high.

188
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: You were never created to live.

189
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 5: Defeated, overcome by problems, always having bad breaks. You were

190
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 5: created to be the overcomer, not the victim, but the victor.

191
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: You have the most powerful force in the universe on

192
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 4: the inside. Winning is in DNA.

193
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 5: And life may not have treated you fair, but God

194
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 5: is fair. In those stinky situations, you have to remember

195
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 5: its fertilizer. That's an opportunity to grow. Doesn't have to

196
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 5: keep you from your destiny, just the opposite. It can

197
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 5: propel you into your destiny. And what stinks in your

198
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 5: life right now, what you don't like, can be the

199
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 5: very thing that promotes you and.

200
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 4: Causes you to blossom.

201
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 5: Don't complain about the stink. There's promotion in that stink.

202
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 5: Don't be discouraged by the sour stuff, the stinky situations.

203
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 4: There's a new level in that sinky situation.

204
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 5: Don't be put out by the fertilizer, by the manure.

205
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 5: It may not smell good, but it's helping you to grow.

206
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 5: It's developing something on the inside. When I look back

207
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 5: in my life, I realized I didn't grow much in

208
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 5: the good times.

209
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 4: I grew in the difficult times.

210
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 5: That's what's getting us prepared for the amazing future God

211
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 5: has in store. You may feel like you've had more

212
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 5: than your share of fertilizer of stinky stuff. Here's why,

213
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 5: because God has a big destiny in front of you.

214
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 5: He's about to take you someplace that you've never dreamed.

215
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 5: He's getting you prepared. Your roots are going down deeper.

216
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 5: The manure doesn't smell good, but it's giving you valuable

217
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 5: nutrients that you could not get otherwise.

218
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 4: That person at the office that.

219
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 5: Gets on your nerves doesn't treat you respectfully. Next time

220
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 5: you see them, just smile and say to yourself, you're

221
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 5: just fertilizer.

222
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 4: You're you stink, but you're helping me to grow. You

223
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 4: think you're.

224
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 5: Pushing me down, but really you're pushing me up.

225
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: I don't say it to their face now, I'm not

226
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 4: telling you that.

227
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 5: When you go through a bad break, a disappointment, the

228
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 5: medical report wasn't good, It's okay to be honest.

229
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 4: This stinks.

230
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 5: I don't like it, but I know a secret. It's fertilizer.

231
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 5: It's going to cause me to grow, to bloom, of blossom,

232
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 5: to flourish. This is what Joseph did in the scripture.

233
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 5: His brothers were jealous of him, and they threw him

234
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 5: into a pit. He could have gotten discouraged. God, I'm

235
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 5: a good person. Why did this happen to me? No,

236
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 5: he realized, it's just fertilizer. They're trying to stop me,

237
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 5: but God's going to use it to increase me. One

238
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 5: bad thing after another happened to him.

239
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 4: They sold him into slavery.

240
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 5: Potterford's wife, his boss, his wife lied about him, and

241
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 5: he got put in prison, falsely accused. He spent thirteen

242
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 5: years in prison for something that he didn't do.

243
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 4: They were trying to hold him back.

244
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 5: They didn't realize they were putting fertilizer on him. Joseph

245
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 5: was getting stronger, he was growing, His roots were going

246
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 5: down deeper. They thought they were stopping him. The truth

247
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 5: is they were strengthening him. That injustice, that stinky situation

248
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 5: looked like it wasted years of his life. But just

249
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 5: like fertilize gives plants valuable nutrients, that difficulty was doing

250
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 5: a work in Joseph, getting him prepared for the next

251
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 5: level of his destiny. He interpreted a dream for the

252
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 5: Pharaoh Pharah was so impressed with Joseph he got him

253
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 5: out of prison and put him in charge of the

254
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 5: whole nation. If you will stay in faith in the

255
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 5: stinky times, the times you don't understand it. You're doing

256
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 5: the right thing, but the wrong thing keeps happening, then

257
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 5: when it's your time to be promoted, to be vindicated,

258
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 5: to bloom, to blossom, all the forces of darkness cannot

259
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 5: stop you. People don't have the final say. God has

260
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 5: the final says. He will get you to where he

261
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 5: wants you to be. Joseph went from the pit to

262
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 5: the prison, all the way to the palace. You may

263
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 5: kind of feel like you're in a pit tonight. Had

264
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 5: some bad breaks dealing with the sickness, lost a loved one,

265
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 5: a dream, died life. Joseph, that pit is not the

266
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 5: end of your story. The prison is not your final chapter.

267
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 5: Your story ends in the palace. You are destined to

268
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 5: live a victorious life. David said, God lifted me out

269
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 5: of the pit and put a new song in my heart.

270
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 5: You may be in the pit, so you need to

271
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 5: get ready. You're about to come out. That sickness is

272
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 5: not the end. That depression is not the end. That

273
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 5: person that left you, the one that broke your heart,

274
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 5: is not the end of your story.

275
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 4: If they left you, you didn't need them.

276
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 5: If they walked away, they were not a part of

277
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 5: your destiny. God has somebody better now. Don't get comfortable

278
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 5: in the pit. Don't let self pity and discouragement steal

279
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 5: your passion.

280
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 4: You got to get your fire back.

281
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 5: Everything God promised you. He still has every intention of

282
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 5: bringing it to pass. The palace is in your future

283
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 5: dreams coming to pass, or in your future victory, restoration, health,

284
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 5: and wholeness. That's what's up in front of you. That's

285
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 5: how your story ends. I talked to a gentleman. He's

286
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 5: very upset because his boss was against him and always

287
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 5: trying to make him look bad. This boss was jealous

288
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 5: of him, would never give him any credit or recognition.

289
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 4: I told him what I'm telling you. It's just fertilizer.

290
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 5: It may stink right now, but don't worry. Fertilizer stinks,

291
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 5: that just means you're about to see new growth. He

292
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 5: got his passion back, started going to the office, being

293
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 5: his best, being productive, working under God and not under man.

294
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 5: Several occasions he should have been promoted, but because of

295
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 5: his unfair boss, he got passed over. One day, the

296
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 5: CEO of the whole company was in town from out

297
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 5: of state. This man had to make a presentation. The

298
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 5: CEO was very impressed with his work. About a year later,

299
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 5: a position became available that should have gone to this

300
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 5: unfair boss, but the CEO bypassed that boss and went

301
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 5: directly to this man and offered him the position. Now,

302
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 5: instead of having to work for the unfair boss, the

303
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 5: tables have turned.

304
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 4: The boss is working for him.

305
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 5: You stay in faith, one touch of God's favor, you'll

306
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 5: go from the back to the front, from the employee

307
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 5: to the employer, earth, from the pit to the palace.

308
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 5: We all have stinky situations, things that are unfair.

309
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 4: People are not treating us right.

310
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 5: You have to see it like Joseph as fertilizer. They're

311
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 5: not going to stop you. That's going to promote you.

312
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 5: That person that lied about you, tried to make you

313
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 5: look bad.

314
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 4: Don't get upset.

315
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 5: They just put fertilizer on you. They think they're pushing

316
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 5: you down. Really they're pushing you up. You're one step

317
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 5: closer to your palace. Or that mistake you made you

318
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 5: feel like you blew it. You're all washed up, Joel,

319
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 5: I had my chance. No, God uses the stinky stuff.

320
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 5: You can't blossom into all you were created to be

321
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 5: without some fertilizer. Sometimes we bring trouble on ourselves.

322
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 4: We made poor choices.

323
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 5: The accuser constantly whispers in our ear. God's not gonna

324
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 5: bless you.

325
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 4: You had your chance, you blew it.

326
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 5: No, God doesn't waste anything that you go through. It

327
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 5: may not have been good, but God knows how to

328
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 5: bring good out of it.

329
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 4: John chapter four.

330
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 5: Jesus met this woman at a well. He told her

331
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 5: that he would give her living water. She said, please

332
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 5: give it to me. He said, go call your husband.

333
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 5: She said, I don't have a husband.

334
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 4: Jesus said, you're right.

335
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 5: You've had five, and the men you're living with now

336
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 5: is not your husband. She was amazed at how this

337
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 5: man that you just met knew everything about her. She

338
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 5: got kind of spiritual and said, I know one day

339
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 5: the Messiah will come. Jesus looked at her and said,

340
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 5: I am the Messiah. The first person Jesus ever told

341
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 5: he was the Messiah was this woman.

342
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 4: A woman that had had a rough past, made mistakes,

343
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 4: that had some stinky stuff. She went back and told

344
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 4: the whole town, come see this man. He must be

345
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 4: the messiah. God used her as the.

346
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 5: First evangelist to get the word out.

347
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 4: And here's my point.

348
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 5: This woman was comfortable around men, married five times. If

349
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 5: she would have been intimidated, insecure, quiet, reserved, she wouldn't

350
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 5: have told many people. But God took what the enemy

351
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 5: had used against her, her boldness, her straightforwardness not only

352
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 5: turned it around, but God said, in effact, this has

353
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 5: gotten you into trouble in the past, I'm gonna make

354
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 5: the enemy pay. I'm gonna use this to advance my kingdom.

355
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 5: It had worked against her, now it was working for her. Fringey,

356
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 5: God knows how to use what you've been through. He

357
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 5: doesn't waste any experiences. You may have made poor choices,

358
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 5: but God can take your mess and turn it into

359
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 5: your message. I have a friend that grew up for

360
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 5: many years in an outlaw motorcycle game.

361
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 4: He was always on drugs.

362
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 5: Breaking the law in and out of prison, living a

363
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 5: very violent life. Didn't look like he'd ever get on

364
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 5: the right course. But this young man had a praying

365
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 5: mother at home.

366
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 4: Every day. She would say, Lord, you said as for

367
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 4: me and my house.

368
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 5: We will serve the Lord. Thank you for turning my

369
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 5: son around. One Sunday morning, this young man was so

370
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 5: depressed and so high on drugs he decided to end

371
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 5: his life. Just before he took this whole bottle of pills.

372
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 5: For some reason, he turned on the television and saw

373
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 5: my Father ministry. He got on his motorcycle, still high

374
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 5: as a kite, and drove to Lakewood. He walked into

375
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 5: service as mean as can be, rough tattooed the beer.

376
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 5: The ushers took him all the way down to the

377
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 5: front and sat him on the second road. That day,

378
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 5: he felt the love that he had never felt. He

379
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 5: left the service, went out to the parking lot. Nobody

380
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 5: asked him to do it. He got down on his

381
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 5: knees beside his motorcycle and said, God, if you're real,

382
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 5: help me to change. I'm giving my life to you today.

383
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 5: This man is a pastor of a church. He has

384
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 5: a major motorcycle ministry. He goes back to the Outlaw

385
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 5: gang members and shares his story of how God changed

386
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 5: his life. God doesn't waste any experiences. He can use

387
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 5: what you've been through to.

388
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 4: Help others that are going through the same situation.

389
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 5: Last year, there was a story on the news about

390
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 5: a nineteen year old student. He walked into a high

391
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 5: school with an assault rifle and started shooting. He didn't

392
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 5: hit any people, only windows. After everyone scattered, he barricaded himself.

393
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 4: In this small room.

394
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 5: There was a woman hiding behind the counter, the high

395
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 5: school accountant, a middle aged woman named Miss Tough. At

396
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 5: one point she stood up, their eyes met, he drew

397
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 5: the rifle. She began to talk to him. She's very kind,

398
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 5: calm as can be.

399
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 4: You could tell.

400
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 5: She won him over and he was comfortable and began

401
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 5: to open up. He told how he was off of

402
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 5: his medicine. He felt hopeless, like he had no purpose

403
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 5: in life. Miss Tuff said, I know how you feel.

404
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 5: My husband of thirty three years left me and last

405
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 5: year I tried to commit suicide, but by the grace of.

406
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 4: God, it didn't happen.

407
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 5: She went on to tell how God had given her

408
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 5: a new beginning. Now she was restored and started a

409
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 5: new business. Excited about her life, She looked him in

410
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 5: the eyes and said, if God did it for me,

411
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 5: he could do it for you. Standing there with the

412
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 5: assault rifle, helicopters overhead, swat teams surrounding the building. The

413
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 5: young man put the rifle down, walked out peacefully.

414
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 4: Nobody was harmed. Mis Tuff said afterwards.

415
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 5: I know God put me there because I've.

416
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 4: Been through what he's going through.

417
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 5: Nothing is wasted, the good, the bad, the painful.

418
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 4: God knows how to use it. If you will say

419
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 4: in faith, it will.

420
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 5: Not only act like fertilizer and make you stronger, but

421
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 5: somewhere down the road you will be instrumental in helping

422
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 5: somebody else.

423
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 4: One time in the scripture, David was on the run.

424
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 5: King Saul was jealous of him and trying to kill him.

425
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 5: He left in such a hurry he forgot to get

426
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 5: his sword. He got to the next town and told

427
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 5: the leaders that he was on assignment from the king,

428
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 5: and it was so urgent that he didn't have time

429
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 5: to get his weapon. He asked if they had a

430
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 5: sword or a spirit they could borrow. They said, all

431
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 5: we have is the sword of Goliath, whom you.

432
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 4: Defeated in the valley. David's face lit up. He thought,

433
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 4: there's no sword like that sword. Let me have it.

434
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 4: I'll take that.

435
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 5: He left that day with the sword that was meant

436
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 5: to defeat him. Now he's using the same sword to

437
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 5: defeat others, the enemies that have tried to defeat you,

438
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 5: the sickness, the depression, the bad break, the injustice.

439
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 4: You're not only going.

440
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 5: To defeat them, but you're going to use those.

441
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 4: Same experiences to defeat others.

442
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 5: You have some swords in your future, battles you've won, enemies,

443
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 5: you've defeated challenges, you've outlasted.

444
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 4: Those victories are going to be there.

445
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 5: But when you need them, they were meant to defeat you,

446
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 5: to harm you, to keep you from your destiny. God

447
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 5: knows how to not only turn it around, not only

448
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 5: give you the victory, but he'll put that same sword

449
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 5: in your future that will help you overcome other obstacles.

450
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 5: I saw a report on the news about a small

451
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 5: city in South America that was.

452
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 4: Built on a garbage dump.

453
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 5: Everywhere you looked, there was trash, trash in the streets,

454
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 5: in the rivers, in the yards.

455
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 4: All you could see was waste.

456
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 5: Very poor people lived there, barely any electricity or running water.

457
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 5: They make their living by searching through the trash, trying

458
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 5: to find something that they can sell. Hours and hours

459
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 5: a day, they rummaged through it hoping to make a

460
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 5: few cents. Didn't look like anything good could come out

461
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 5: of a garbage dump, but a gentleman showed up by

462
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 5: the name of Fabio Chavez saw the children playing in

463
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 5: the garbage and it broke his heart.

464
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 4: He wanted to help.

465
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 5: He decided to start a music school right there.

466
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 4: In the trash heap.

467
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 5: He didn't have money for new instruments, so he found

468
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 5: a carpenter friend that lived in the same city. They

469
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 5: started going through the trash looking for materials they could

470
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 5: use to make instruments. Old piece of pipe would become part.

471
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 4: Of a saxophone.

472
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 5: Discarded wooden boxes, parts of guitars, different sized buckets and

473
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 5: barrels would become drums. In a few months, he had violins, cellos, guitars, drums, all.

474
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 4: Made from trash. He taught the children how to play.

475
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 4: They were so excited.

476
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 5: Now they have a full orchestra made up of dozens

477
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 5: and dozens of children playing these instruments made from the

478
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 5: garbage dump. They put a clip on YouTube and it

479
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 5: went viral. They started getting invitations from around the world. Today,

480
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 5: they play in concert halls everywhere they go before tens

481
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 5: of thousands people were not only so moved by their

482
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 5: story that they started donating new instruments, but they started

483
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 5: sending in funds to help.

484
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 4: The children improve their lives.

485
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 5: They talked to a noted musician at the end of

486
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 5: the story and she made a statement that stuck with me.

487
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 5: She said, I couldn't believe you could make music out

488
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 5: of trash.

489
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 4: That's the way our God is.

490
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 5: He can take the broken dreams, the mistakes, the injustice.

491
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 5: Doesn't look like any good can come out of it,

492
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 5: looks like this is waste.

493
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 4: No God knows how to make music out of your mess.

494
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,719
Speaker 5: He's got you in the palm of his hand. Nothing

495
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 5: that's happened to you has been wasted. It's all been

496
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 5: a part of making you into who you were created

497
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 5: to be. It may not have been good, but God

498
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 5: knows how to use it for your good. He can

499
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 5: take the very thing that was meant to defeat you

500
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 5: and instead cause.

501
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 4: It to propel you.

502
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 5: No obstacle is too big, no enemy is too powerful.

503
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 5: The forces that are for you are greater than the

504
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 5: forces that are against you. Like David, you may be

505
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 5: in a tough time, but you're about to see.

506
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 4: One of your swords.

507
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 5: People can't stop it. Bad breaks can't stop it. Trash

508
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 5: can't stop it. Injustice can't stop it. Like Joseph, You're

509
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 5: about to rise to the top. You may be in

510
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 5: the pit, but get ready, you're going to come in

511
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 5: that palace. Shake off the disappointments, shake off the self pity.

512
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 4: This is a new day.

513
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 5: Your best days are not your yesterdays.

514
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 4: They are still out in front of you.

515
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 5: The enemy would not be fighting you so hard unless

516
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 5: he knew there was something amazing in your future.

517
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 4: It may be.

518
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:24,080
