And I'd like to start with something funny, 55 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 5: and I heard about five relationship tips for women. Number one, 56 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 5: it's important to find a man that loves you and 57 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 5: is loyal. Number two, it's important to find a man 58 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 5: that's fun and makes you laugh. Number three, it's important 59 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 5: to find a man that's a hard worker provides a 60 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 5: good living. Number four, it's important to find a man 61 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 5: that's a great. 62 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 4: Father and good with children. 63 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 5: And number five, it's important that none of these four men. 64 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 4: Know each other. All right, y'all? 65 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 5: I told that to Victoria yesterday. We were some friends 66 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 5: down at the church. When I finished, she started walking away. 67 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 5: I said, where are you going? She said, to find 68 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 5: my other three men. 69 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 4: I said, listen to you, baby, you got forty one here. 70 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 4: So that's what I believe in. You O, come on 71 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 4: tay it like you mean it. 72 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 5: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 73 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 74 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 75 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 76 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. 77 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 78 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 4: bless you. 79 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 5: I want to talk to you today about it's already defeated. 80 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 5: We all face situations that should hold us back. 81 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 4: What we're up against is bigger and stronger. 82 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 5: It's easy to live in fear, intimidated, thinking that it 83 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 5: could never work out. But the scripture says in First 84 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 5: John chapter four, because you belong to God, you have 85 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 5: already defeated the enemy. What you're up against has already 86 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 5: been defeated. God is not in the heavens fighting with 87 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 5: the enemy trying to free you. 88 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 4: Heal you, deliver you, favor you. 89 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 5: The battle has already been won. Two thousand years ago, 90 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 5: when Jesus came up out of the grave, he defeated 91 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 5: everything that can hold you back. 92 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 4: He took care of it once and for all. 93 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 5: The scripture says he rendered the enemy powerless. One translation 94 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 5: says he brought him to naught. Naught means zero wasn't 95 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,679 Speaker 5: even close. It was a shutout. 96 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 4: Here's the beauty. 97 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 5: Because you belong to God, because you're his child, you have. 98 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 4: Already defeated the enemy. 99 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 5: Anything you face in life, you need to see it 100 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 5: as defeated. 101 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 4: Don't pray for victory. Pray from victory. 102 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 5: Father, thank you that I am free, I am healed, 103 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 5: I am forgiven, I am prosperous, I am victorious. But 104 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 5: the challenge is, even though our enemy is defe he makes. 105 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 4: A lot of noise. 106 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 5: The scripture says he goes about as a roaring lion. 107 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 4: He's not a lion. 108 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 5: He can't overpower you. He can't control your destiny. 109 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 4: He's like a lion. That means he's loud. He'll roar 110 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 4: negative thoughts, that sickness will be the end of you. 111 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 5: You'll never meet the right person. You've made too many mistakes. 112 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 5: There's nothing good in your future. Do yourself a favor. 113 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 5: Ignore the roar, don't believe his lines. When those thoughts come, 114 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 5: just give him the zero sign. Remind him you have 115 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 5: no power over me. 116 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 4: You've already been defeated. 117 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 5: Because I belong to God, I will walk in victory. 118 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 5: I will live and not die. I will prosper and succeed. 119 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 4: I will stay in peace in the midst of the storm. 120 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 5: When you know what comes against you has already been defeated, 121 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 5: it changes your outlook. You won't live in fear, worried 122 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 5: about your future, letting doubt hold your back. You'll move 123 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 5: forward knowing that God has already taken care of anything 124 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 5: you'll face. The path has already been cleared, says in Daniel. 125 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 5: The people who know their God will. 126 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 4: Be strong and do exploits. 127 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 5: When you know your God and what he's done, that 128 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 5: he's already defeated the enemy, that he's taken away his power, 129 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 5: that he's brought him to zero, then you will be strong. 130 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 5: You won't be moved by opposition. You won't fall apart 131 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 5: when trouble comes. You won't give up because someone did 132 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 5: you wrong. You know it can't stop your purpose. You'll 133 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 5: not only have a supernatural strength, but you'll do exploits. 134 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 5: You'll take your family to a new level. You'll break 135 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 5: addictions that have held you back. You'll accomplish dreams bigger 136 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,559 Speaker 5: than you've imagined, have the right perspective. Whatever enemies you face, 137 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 5: enemies of fear, enemies of depression, enemies of sicknesses, enemies 138 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 5: of insecurity. 139 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 4: They have already been defeated. Now here's the key. 140 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 5: If you don't realize this, you can let a defeated 141 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 5: enemy keep you from your destiny. Years ago, there was 142 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 5: a missionary in Africa. He was traveling by horseback down 143 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 5: this narrow, winding trail. It was a hot Sunday afternoon. 144 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 5: He was on his way to one of the little villages. 145 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 5: As he approached a sharp turn in the trail, the 146 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 5: horse stopped and wouldn't. 147 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 4: Go any further. It's sensed that something was wrong around 148 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 4: the corner. 149 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 5: He couldn't make the horse go. He finally got off 150 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 5: and looked around the curve. There was a huge snake 151 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 5: about ten feet long, very thick, curled up right in 152 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 5: the middle of the past, basking in the sun. He 153 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 5: had his head hidden under this small flat stone. 154 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 4: The men's heart was gripped with fear. 155 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 5: He'd been warned about how dangerous and poisonous the snakes were. 156 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 5: He didn't know what to do, didn't have any kind 157 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 5: of weapon. There was no way around the path was 158 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 5: thick with trees and brush on each side. After about 159 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 5: fifteen minutes, he got. 160 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 4: His nerve up. 161 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 5: He picked up the biggest rock he could possibly find. 162 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 5: He was going to throw it on top of that 163 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 5: flat stone where the snake was hiding his head. He 164 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 5: moved very cautiously forward, trembling with fear the back of 165 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 5: his mind, thinking what if I miss What if I 166 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 5: don't kill him, just make him mad, he may turn 167 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 5: around and bite me. 168 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 4: Amid all those fears, With. 169 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 5: The adrenaline flowing, he hurled that rock on top of 170 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 5: the snake with all of his might. Much to his surprise, 171 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 5: the snake didn't move. He got a little closer and 172 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 5: suddenly realized the snake was already dead. Someone passing that 173 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 5: way before him had crushed the snake's head and just 174 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 5: left him lying in the path. The good news is 175 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 5: someone has already been down our path and cleared it 176 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 5: of everything that could harm us. When Jesus came to 177 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 5: the earth, he went around doing good, healing people, showing mercy, 178 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 5: but the religious leaders didn't accept him, even though he 179 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 5: had done no wrong. They put a crown of thorns 180 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 5: on his head and forced him to carry his. 181 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 4: Own cross to be crucified. Hanging on the cross. 182 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 5: He could have called angels to come rescue him, but 183 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 5: he didn't do it. 184 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 4: He hung there for you and for me. 185 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 5: The nails didn't hold him on the cross. Love held 186 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 5: him on the cross. It was all a part of 187 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 5: God's plan. The scripture says for this reason, the son 188 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,599 Speaker 5: of God came to earth to destroy. 189 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 4: The works of the enemy. 190 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 5: Jesus went before us and crushed Satan's head. 191 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 4: He took away all of his power. 192 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 5: Now we can live a victorious life. 193 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 4: But I wonder if you're letting a dead snake keep 194 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 4: you from moving forward. 195 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 5: What's in your path may seem harmful, looks like you 196 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 5: can't get around it. You're afraid, can't sleep at night, 197 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 5: trouble at work, child, this off course, mistakes you've made, guilt, condemnation. 198 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 5: If you'll start moving forward, you'll discover the snake is 199 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 5: already dead. 200 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 4: God didn't leave. 201 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 5: You here on this earth with enemies that can stop 202 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 5: your destiny. 203 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 4: They're already defeated. 204 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 5: But in order to see what God has done, you 205 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 5: have to take steps forward. Can't let fear dominate. They've 206 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 5: worried about your future believe in the roar that the 207 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 5: obstacle's too big, the addiction too strong, sickness too powerful, 208 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 5: the mistake too great. Yes it looks intimidating, but it's 209 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 5: not what you think. 210 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 4: The head is already crushed. 211 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 5: God is already taking care of what's trying to stop you. 212 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 5: Don't let a dead snake keep you from reaching your destiny. 213 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 5: The power in you is greater than any power that's 214 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 5: coming against you. If you were on your own, it 215 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 5: would be a problem. But you're not on your own. 216 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 5: The most high God lives in you. Isaiah said, He 217 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 5: goes before you and makes crooked place his strength. He's 218 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 5: already gone before you and defeated those enemies. Jesus said 219 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 5: in John fourteen, the prince of this world comes, and 220 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 5: he has no power over me. Now, I'm not saying 221 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 5: that you won't have difficulties things that are not fair. 222 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 4: The Prince of this world will come. That's the enemy. 223 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 5: But you can say, like Jesus, he has no power 224 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 5: over me. I know a secret. He's already been defeated. 225 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 5: We didn't defeat him. Jesus defeated him. But because we 226 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 5: belong to Christ, his victory is our victory because he lives. 227 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 5: We can live because he rendered him powerless. We can 228 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 5: walk in freedom now. To see this victory, you can't 229 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 5: have a defeated mindset, Joel, I'm under attack. The enemy's 230 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 5: working over time on me. I don't know what I'm 231 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 5: gonna do. You know the right attitude is the enemy has. 232 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 4: No power over me. He used to have power. 233 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 5: He used to have the keys to death in hell, 234 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 5: but Jesus took away those keys. 235 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 4: He lost his power. His conqueror, our savior, gave us 236 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 4: the keys. Now we have authority. 237 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 5: Now we can live in victory instead of being underattack. 238 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 5: When things come against us, you need to be on 239 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 5: the attack. Father, Thank you that every force that's trying 240 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 5: to stop me has already been defeated. 241 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 4: I will not shrink back in fear letting a dead 242 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 4: snake fool me. 243 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 5: I know you've already crushed his head. I know you've 244 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 5: already won the victory, so I will move forward, knowing 245 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 5: that you always caused me to try himph When my 246 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 5: father was in his forties, he had a dream one night. 247 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 5: He was in this room about thirty feet by thirty feet. 248 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 5: In one corner of the room was this very evil 249 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 5: being like Satan himself upon a throne. In another corner 250 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 5: was this man trying to get out of the room. 251 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 5: There was only one door, and my father was standing 252 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 5: by that door watching all this take place. 253 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 4: The man wanted out so desperately, but he couldn't move. 254 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 5: He was flailing his arms like he was swimming, struggling 255 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 5: the inch forward, but Satan just kept staring at him. 256 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 5: It was like this evil gaze was holding the man captain. 257 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 5: At one point in the dream, my father spoke up 258 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 5: and said, very forcefully, I will walk out of here. 259 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 4: In the name of Jesus. 260 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 5: Satan looked at him, tried to hold him with his gaze, 261 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 5: but it had no effect. 262 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 4: My father opened the door and walked out. 263 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 5: He woke up, didn't know what the dream meant, didn't 264 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 5: think much more about it. But several months later he 265 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 5: went through one of the most difficult times of his life. 266 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 5: Been doing great pastoring his church, happily married, but he 267 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 5: suddenly felt overwhelmed by life, lost his passion, couldn't sleep 268 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 5: at night. 269 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 4: He sunk into a deep depression. 270 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 5: He told how when he woke up he couldn't wait 271 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 5: till night came. 272 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 4: At night, he couldn't wait till the morning. He began 273 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 4: to feel guilty about past. 274 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 5: Mistakes, this deep sense of shame and condemnation, so much 275 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 5: so that he closed his offices. 276 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 4: Thought he was having a nervous breakdown. Came out of 277 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 4: the blue. There was no warning. He was faithfully pastoring, 278 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 4: faithfully serving his church. Then the bottom fell out. 279 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 5: Being a believer doesn't mean we won't ever be attacked. 280 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 5: The prince of this world will come. But what I 281 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 5: want you to see is he. 282 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 4: Doesn't determine your future. He doesn't have the final say. 283 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 4: Thoughts told my father. 284 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 5: That he would never minister again, that he had a 285 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 5: terminal illness, something incurable, and it would get. 286 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 4: Worse and worse. Fear gripped his heart. One day while 287 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 4: he was praying, said God, where are you? Why want 288 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 4: you to do something? And suddenly he remembered his dream. 289 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 4: The scripture says, before. 290 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 5: You call, God will answer you. Before he ever came 291 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 5: under the attack, God gave. 292 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 4: Him this dream. 293 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 5: It was as if God said, son, tell me what 294 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 5: happened in the dream. My father recalled how that one 295 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 5: man couldn't get out. God said to my father, what 296 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 5: did you do in the dream? My father said, I 297 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 5: walked out in the name of Jesus. 298 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 4: God says, son, you're in that room right now. 299 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 5: The enemy is fear, the enemy is torment, the enemy 300 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 5: is lies, and the. 301 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 4: Only way to get out is to walk out. 302 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 5: In My name. Remind him of my victory. Sometimes we're 303 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 5: praying God, what are you going to do something? Don't 304 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 5: you see that I'm under attack? God says, I've already 305 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 5: done it. I've already defeated every enemy that will try 306 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 5: to stop you. 307 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 4: Now you have to get on the attack. 308 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 5: You have to rise up and walk out of it. 309 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 5: My father dried his tears, got his passion back. In 310 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 5: the face of fear, he started speaking faith, I will 311 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 5: fear no evil. I am strong in the Lord. No 312 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 5: weapon formed against me will prosper. Little by little he 313 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 5: got his passion back, got his vision back, got his 314 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 5: power back. After several months of staying in the house 315 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 5: being overwhelmed, he took a step of faith and accepted 316 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 5: a speaking engagement was in another city where he had 317 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 5: to fly. 318 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 4: Well, he had flown all over the world. It was 319 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 4: no big deal. 320 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 5: But suddenly he had a fear of flying. Thoughts told him, 321 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 5: you better not get on that plane. If you do, 322 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 5: it'll be the last time you ever see your family. 323 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 5: The only tools the enemy has is deception and lies. 324 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 5: It's no different today than back in the garden of 325 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 5: Eden with Adam and Eve. 326 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 4: If you eat this fruit you want die, you'll become 327 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 4: like God. Come on, you can eat it. He's called 328 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 4: the father of lies. There's no truth in him. 329 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 5: To reach your potential, you have to become skilled at 330 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 5: dismissing his lies. 331 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 4: He'll try to talk you out of your destiny. It's 332 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 4: got a big roar. You can't get well. 333 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 5: You never get past the depression. This problem's to big. 334 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 5: Don't get on that plane. Ignore the roar. He's all 335 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 5: bark and no bite. The only power he has is 336 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 5: the power you give him by believing his lies. My 337 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 5: father finally got his faith up. He was going to 338 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 5: take that flight, the first time going out and speaking 339 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 5: in months. 340 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 4: It was a big moment. 341 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 5: Then a friend called and said, John, I just have 342 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 5: a strange feeling that you're not supposed to fly. I 343 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 5: just since something bad may happen. Now. I know people 344 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 5: can give us advice and counsel, but sometimes the enemy 345 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 5: will use people. 346 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 4: To try to keep you from moving forward. 347 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 5: He'll do everything he can to try to keep you 348 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 5: stuck in fear, thinking you can't get well, you can't 349 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 5: get out of debt, you can't accomplish that dream. My 350 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 5: father was at a critical point. Was he going to 351 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 5: act on fear or was he going to act on faith? 352 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 5: Was he going to stay in that room believing he 353 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 5: was held captive, or was he going to walk. 354 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 4: Out knowing that the enemy was defeated. He took a 355 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 4: step of faith, got his courage up, and he went 356 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 4: to the airport. 357 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,959 Speaker 5: Normally the flight was a large jet with several hundred people, 358 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 5: but this particular day it was a twin engine prop 359 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 5: plane that held about thirty people. When my father saw that, 360 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 5: the enemy said, man, you better go back. This is 361 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 5: a sure sign you're not supposed to go. He ignored 362 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 5: it and got on the plane. When the pilot took off, 363 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 5: my father told how he lifted up his seat to 364 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 5: try to help out. When the pilot turned left, Daddy 365 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 5: lean left. He made it there safely and flew for 366 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 5: many years after that. But had my father not walked 367 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 5: out of that room, had he let that dead snake 368 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 5: paralyze him, he would have missed his destiny. 369 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 4: And Jesus said, the Prince of this world comes. 370 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 5: He has no power over me the next verse, but 371 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 5: I will do what the Father requires. That last part 372 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 5: is the key. We're all going to face attacks, trouble, opposition. 373 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 5: The Prince of this world will come. He has no 374 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 5: power over us, but we have to do what the 375 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 5: Father requires. 376 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 4: We can't sit back. Why did this happen? This is 377 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 4: not fair. 378 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 5: What the Father requires is to move forward in faith. 379 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 5: Don't let fear hold you back. Don't believe the lies 380 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 5: that it's permanent. Don't water down your dreams. 381 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 4: The snake is dead. You can walk out of that room. 382 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 5: Now, get your passion back and go after what God 383 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 5: put in your heart. 384 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 4: This is what Joseph did. 385 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 5: His fiancee, Mary, became pregnant without knowing a man. 386 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 4: She gave birth to Jesus in Bethlehem. 387 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 5: When King Herod heard about Jesus, the scripture says he 388 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 5: was deeply disturbed. 389 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 4: He didn't like the thought of someone having more. 390 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 5: Power and more influence than him, and the angel appeared 391 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 5: to Joseph and told him to flee to Egypt because 392 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 5: Herod was going to try to kill Jesus. Joseph left 393 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 5: in the middle of the night. Herod was so upset 394 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 5: he sent soldiers out to kill all the male babies two. 395 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 4: Years of age and under. 396 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 5: For two years, Herod reaked havoc, causing so much pain 397 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 5: and sorrow. One night, an angel appeared to Joseph again. 398 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 5: He said, get up and take the child and. 399 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 4: His mother back to Israel. 400 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 5: For those who are trying to kill the child are dead. 401 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 5: Joseph's whole world had been turned upside down. 402 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 4: Imagine someone trying to take your child's life. 403 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 5: How on d you would be always looking over your 404 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 5: shoulder wondering what might happen. Then the news came to Joseph, 405 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 5: Herod is dead. What's been trying to stop you is defeated. 406 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 5: I'm sure Joseph was thrilled. Now they could relax and 407 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 5: enjoy their life. But the next verse is the test. 408 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 5: The angel said, go back to Israel, take your son 409 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 5: to his home. Joseph could have thought, God, I'm grateful 410 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 5: that Hered is dead, but I don't want to take 411 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 5: any chances. Let me stay here in Egypt. Let me 412 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 5: stay here where I know it's safe. But to reach 413 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 5: your destiny, you have to do what the Father requires. 414 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 4: Here it is dead. The enemy has been defeated. 415 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 5: Now, Joseph, you have to go and take your child 416 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 5: to Israel. Notice, go and take. Don't stay in the room, 417 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 5: don't stay where it's safe. Don't let the set back 418 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 5: keep you from pursuing your dream. Go and take what 419 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 5: belongs to you. It's interesting that the pandemic has lasted 420 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 5: a couple of years. Many of us have had to 421 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 5: put dreams on hold. Our plans were interrupted, people have 422 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 5: gone through laws. 423 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 4: It's easy to settle where we are. 424 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 5: Just be grateful that we made it through, thankful that 425 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 5: the virus hopefully is pasted. Herod may be dead, so 426 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 5: to speak, but God is saying you have to go 427 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 5: and take. If you're going to reach your potential, you 428 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 5: have to stir up your gifts. Pray some bold prayers, 429 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 5: take steps of faith. What's trying to stop you is defeated. 430 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 5: The people who were holding you back. 431 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 4: They've lost their influence. 432 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 5: The sickness, the addiction, the trouble at work. Those powers 433 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 5: have been broken. Now do what the Father requires. 434 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 4: Move forward, Believe for your healing. Speak victory over your children. 435 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 5: It's time to take possession of what God promised you. 436 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 5: See if Joseph would have played it safe. Jesus would 437 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 5: have never made it back to Nazareth, like it was prophesied. 438 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 5: If my father would have stayed in that room, not 439 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 5: gotten on that plane, I wouldn't. 440 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 4: Be up here today. The enemy has no power over you. 441 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 4: Now do what the Father requires. 442 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 5: Don't let a dead snake cause you to settle for 443 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 5: less than what God put in your heart. As a 444 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 5: young man, Moses knew that God called him to deliver 445 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 5: the Israelites out of slavery. He was a Hebrew, but 446 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 5: he was raised by Egyptians. Fro's daughter saw him floating 447 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 5: down the Nile River. She took him in as her 448 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 5: own son. One day, Moses saw an Egyptian foreman mistreating 449 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 5: a Hebrew slain. Something rose up in him and he 450 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 5: killed the Egyptian man. He didn't think anyone saw him. 451 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 5: He hid the man in the sand, but the next 452 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 5: day two people confronted him about it. Moses had to 453 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 5: flee for his life, spent forty years on the back 454 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 5: side of the desert. I'm sure he thought he'd missed 455 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 5: his destiny. He'd made too many mistakes. 456 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 4: In the middle of the night, thoughts would come, Man, 457 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 4: you blew it. Who had your chance? Now you're stuck 458 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 4: out here in the desert. 459 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 5: Forty years later, God came to him and said, Moses, 460 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 5: I didn't forget about you. 461 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 4: Go tell the Pharaoh to let my people go. 462 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 5: I can imagine Moses saying, God, those people want to 463 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 5: kill me. 464 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 4: I'm a wanted man. 465 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,479 Speaker 5: God said in Exodus four, don't be afraid to return 466 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 5: to Egypt. For all those that are trying to kill 467 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 5: you are dead. God was saying, Moses, I've already taken 468 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 5: care of what was trying to stop you. I've already 469 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 5: dealt with your enemies. I wouldn't ask you to go 470 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 5: if you were. 471 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 4: Going to be defeated. 472 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 5: We can all look back, like Moses, see mistakes. We 473 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 5: made things we should have done better. 474 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 4: It was our fault. We think we just have to 475 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 4: live with it. 476 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 5: But God is saying, I've already taken care of your mistakes. 477 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 4: I've already dealt with your past. I've already defeated what 478 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 4: should have stopped you. I've already moved the wrong people 479 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 4: out of the way. 480 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 5: Your mistakes did not stop your purpose. Don't sit on 481 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 5: the sidelines of life thinking you can't fulfill your destiny. 482 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 4: Look what I've done, man, I didn't make good choices. 483 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 5: My child better, should have finished school, should have been 484 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 5: more disciplined. 485 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 4: Can I encourage you? All those that. 486 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 5: Were after you are dead. This is a new day. 487 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 5: God has forgiven your sins. He has mercy for your mistakes. 488 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 5: Nothing you've done has to keep you from your purpose. 489 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 4: Now you have to do what God requires. The enemy 490 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 4: is defeated. But your part is to. 491 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 5: Go and take go after your dreams, take possession of 492 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 5: what God promised you. Moses went back to the Pharaoh, 493 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 5: their very placed. He thought he would never see again. 494 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 5: They didn't arrest him, he wasn't harmed. Despite his mistakes, 495 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 5: he ended up delivering the Israelites. See, Joseph was afraid 496 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 5: of his future. What will Herod do? 497 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 4: Moses was afraid of his past. I've made mistakes. 498 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 5: Both times. God said, there's nothing to fear. I've defeated 499 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 5: your enemies. I've taken care of what you're afraid of. 500 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 5: When my father was six years old, there was this 501 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 5: old house in the neighborhood that was abandoned, all run down, 502 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 5: boarded up. 503 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 4: As little kids, it looked very spooky to them. 504 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 5: They called it the haunted house. They didn't walk by 505 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 5: it unless they had to. When they did, they went 506 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 5: as fast as they possibly could. They were all afraid 507 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 5: of that house. 508 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 4: Well. My father had a brother named Jack. 509 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 5: He was several years older than him, and Jack would 510 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 5: fight a tiger. 511 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 4: He was brave, courageous, he knew no fear. One night 512 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 4: about dusk, my father and some. 513 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 5: Of the friends were standing off in the distance looking 514 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 5: at the haunted house. Jack said, you know what, I'm 515 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 5: going to go in the house. He might as well 516 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 5: have said I'm going to end my life. They thought 517 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 5: he had lost his mind. Nobody ever got close to 518 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 5: that house. My father was so concerned, so worried. He 519 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 5: tried to talk him out of it. Jack, there's no 520 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 5: way you can go in there. It's too dangerous. Jack 521 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 5: wouldn't hear of it. His mind was made up. They 522 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 5: all stood over to the side. Jack opened the front door, 523 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 5: and just like a movie, it creaked so loudly, so eerie, 524 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 5: since chill bumps up and down their spine. 525 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 4: He went in. They waited one minute. 526 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 5: Nothing, two minute nothing, five minutes nothing, still no sign 527 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 5: of Jack. 528 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 4: Seemed like five hours. They were sure something was wrong. 529 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 4: Something must have gotten him. 530 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 5: About that time, they saw the shutters on the upstairs 531 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 5: window begin to slowly open. Jack stuck out his head 532 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 5: said with a big smile, it's okay, fellas, there's nothing 533 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 5: in here to harm us. On a Friday two thousand 534 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 5: years ago, Jesus was crucified. They put him in the tomb. 535 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 5: Looked like it was over. All of Hell was celebrating, 536 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 5: the demons rejoicing. But on that third day, on Resurrection Sunday, Jesus, 537 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 5: our elder brother, opened the window and said to all 538 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 5: of us, there's nothing to fear. 539 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 4: I have the keys to death in Hell. I've defeated 540 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 4: the enemy. I've cleared the path. 541 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 5: I've gone ahead of you and taken care of anything 542 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 5: that could harm you. We don't have to live in fear, 543 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 5: fear the past, fear the future. 544 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 4: Worried about what we're up against. Now. 545 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 5: The prince of this world may come, but we know 546 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 5: a secret. 547 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 4: He has no power over us. 548 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 5: He's been dethroned, defane, brought to zero. Now my challenge 549 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 5: is don't let a dead snake keep you from becoming 550 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 5: who you were created to be. 551 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 4: It may look intimidating, but. 552 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 5: God has already defeated it, go and take what belongs 553 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 5: to you. 554 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 4: If you'll do this, I believe. 555 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 5: And declare you're about to step in to new levels 556 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 5: of freedom, influence, courage.
