Speaker 1: and thanks again for coming out today. And I like

16
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: to start with something funny, and this is just a joke,

17
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: please don't be offended. But I heard about this man.

18
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: He was sitting in a dark restaurant. He said to

19
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: the lady next to him, would you like to hear

20
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: a blonde joke? The lady said, well, before you tell me,

21
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: you should know that I'm blonde, six foot tall and

22
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: a professional bodybuilder, and the lady next to me is

23
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: blonde do it too? And a professional wrestler And the

24
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: lady next to her is blonde, six foot five and

25
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: the kickboxing champion of the world.

26
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: Now do you still want to tell me?

27
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: He thought about it in a moment, said now not

28
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna have to explain it three times. I

29
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: made it a ride home today, But here we go.

30
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

31
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do

32
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be

33
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

34
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus's name, God bless you. I want

36
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: to talk to you today about settled accounts.

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: We all have to.

38
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: Deal with unfair situations and people that do us wrong.

39
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: You can't live very long without someone being jealous, talking

40
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: badly about you, being cheated in a business deal, a

41
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: friend not keeping their word. A lady told me how

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: a coworker said things about her that weren't true. She

43
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: went around spreading these rumors. People believed it, and it

44
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: kept this lady from a promotion. It doesn't seem right

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: when you're being your best and someone else puts you

46
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: at a disadvantage.

47
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: Their choices set you back.

48
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: But God said in Hebrews, I am a just God.

49
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: I will repay the exact compensation owed you. I will

50
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: settle the accounts of my people. God sees what you're

51
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: going through. He sees who did you wrong, how they

52
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: walked away and left you to raise the kids, how

53
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: they manipulated things, made you look bad, how they were

54
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: dishonest and took what should have been yours. God is saying,

55
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: don't worry. I'm going to pay you back. I'm going

56
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: to make it up to you.

57
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 3: You don't have to get even. You don't have to

58
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 3: vindicate yourself.

59
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: The most High God is going to settle your account.

60
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: You are not at the mercy of how other people

61
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: have treated you.

62
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 3: They don't control your destiny.

63
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: They may have walked away, said things that damage your reputation.

64
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: Seems like they put you at a disadvantage. Stay encouraged.

65
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: Your time is coming.

66
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: God is not going to leave your account in a deficit.

67
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: He's not going to let you stay down, mistreated, short, chained.

68
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Don't get ready. Payback is coming. God is a just God.

69
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: You don't have to settle your account. He's going to

70
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: do it for you. And the good news is God

71
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: never brings you out the same. He makes the enemy

72
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: pay for bringing the trouble. Someone may have tried to

73
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: push you down, said things that were hurtful. You didn't

74
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: have a good childhood. There's a lot of abuse, manipulation

75
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: and jealousy. But when God settles your account, you're not

76
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: only going to get what you were owed, but you're

77
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: going to come out increased, promoted, honored, better than if

78
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: it would have never happened. Better relationships, better position, better opportunities.

79
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: This is what happened with Ja in the scripture. He

80
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: fell in love with Laban's daughter, a young lady named Rachel.

81
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: Laban told him that if.

82
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: He would work for him for seven years, he could

83
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: have Rachel as his wife. They had this agreement very clear,

84
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: seven years and she's mine. Jacob worked those seven years

85
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 1: being his best.

86
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: He didn't just pass the time.

87
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: He excelled. Because of Jacob, Laban became very wealthy. His

88
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: flocks multiplied many times over seven years. Finally came and

89
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: Jacob was so excited in those days. At the wedding,

90
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: the bride wore a very thick veil. You couldn't see

91
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: who was in there. After the big celebration with partying

92
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: and dancing.

93
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 3: I can imagine.

94
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: Jacob went to bed that night with a little too

95
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: much to drink. The next morning, when he woke up,

96
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: he leaned over to kiss his new bride, but it

97
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: wasn't Rachel, it was her sister Leah. Jacob nearly passed out.

98
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: He ran to Laban said, what are you doing trying

99
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: to trick me? I didn't agree to marry Leah. I

100
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: agreed to marry Rachel. Laban said, I know, Jacob, but

101
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 1: we have a tradition. We have to marry the older daughter.

102
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: All first, work for me another seven years, then you

103
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: can have Rachel. Laban was dishonest, manipulative, connithing all at

104
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: Jacob's expense.

105
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: Here, Jacob did the right thing.

106
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: He went overboard to carry out his part of the agreement,

107
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: but Laban deceived him, and Jacob was either so in

108
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: love with Rachel or so dumb. He agreed to work

109
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: another seven years. He eventually married Rachel. He told Laban

110
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: that he wanted to move back home. Laban didn't want

111
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: him to go. He said, Jacob, I know God has

112
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: blessed me because you were here. My flocks were very small,

113
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: but now because of you, I am enormously wealthy. He

114
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: recognized it was the favor on Jacob that caused him

115
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: to be so blessed. He asked Jake what he wanted

116
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: as a parting gift. You would think he'd want to

117
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: be good to Jacob send them off with a great blessing,

118
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: But Laban was so manipulative, so dishonest, he tried to

119
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: keep him from having anything significant. Jacob said, I'll work

120
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: for you a little longer. For my payment, let me

121
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: have all the new goats and sheep that are born

122
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: that are speckled in streaked. You keep all the animals

123
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: that are solid. That way, when I leave, nobody will

124
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: have any doubt that what I take belongs to me.

125
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: Lavin agreed, but he was so stingy he had his

126
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: workers sneak out in the middle of the night and

127
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: take all the male, streaked and spotted animals so when

128
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: they made it, Jacob wouldn't get any more flocks. The

129
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: funny thing is when the solid colored animals mated, they

130
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: produced speckled and spotted offspring. It didn't make sense. This

131
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: went on and on to where Jacob's flocks were getting

132
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: bigger than Laban's. Laban couldn't understand it. He said, Jacob,

133
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: I've changed my mind. From now on, I get all

134
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: the speckled and spotted animals, You get the solid colored ones.

135
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: You know what happened.

136
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: All the animals that were born were now solid. Laban

137
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: was scratching his head, thinking, what in the world is happening.

138
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: God knows how to settle your accounts. He knows how

139
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: to pay.

140
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: You back for what should have been yours.

141
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: Deceptive people can't stop our God. Manipulators are not going

142
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: to get the best of you. People that leave you out,

143
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: push you down, don't keep their word. Don't get upset.

144
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: You're not on their payroll. You're on God's payroll. He

145
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: controls the universe. He knows what your own. He knows

146
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: how to make it up to you. He will bless

147
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: you despite people trying to keep you down. They can't

148
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: stand against our God. Now, quit worrying about people that

149
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: have done you wrong, losing sleep over that person that

150
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: left you out, that contract you were manipulated out of.

151
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: They may have manipulated you, but they can't manipulate our God.

152
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: When he's ready to pay you back, all the forces

153
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: of darkness cannot stop him. He'll make things happen that

154
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: don't make sense. He'll cause people to be good to

155
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: you that don't even like you, cause doors to open

156
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: that should be closed, cause promotion when you weren't.

157
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: Next in line.

158
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: God is a just God. He saw Jacob's account was

159
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: in deficit. He was doing the right thing and not

160
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: being treated fairly, working hard, but not getting Rachel what

161
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: he was promised.

162
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: That doesn't go unnoticed.

163
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: God said in verse twelve, Jacob, I have seen all

164
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: that Laban.

165
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: Has done to you.

166
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: People may think they're getting the best of you. They

167
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: don't have any problem putting you at a disadvantage. Do

168
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: like Jacob, stay on the high road, keep being your best.

169
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: You don't have to vindicate yourself. God will not only

170
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: vindicate you, but he'll make it up to you. The

171
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: time is coming where you're going to see blessings that

172
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: you can't explain, promotion you didn't deserve. Great people come

173
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: looking for you. What is that God paying you back

174
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: for how you were treated, paying you back for what

175
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: should have been yours. Jacob said, Laban, you have reduced

176
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: my wages ten times. Think about how unjust that was.

177
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: Here's a man that caused Laban to be incredibly wealthy.

178
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: If it were not for Jacob, he would still be struggling.

179
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: But instead of blessing Jacob, instead of promoting him, he

180
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: kept demoting him, decreasing his wages. Jacob went on to say,

181
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: if it were not for the grace of God, you

182
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: would send me off without a penny. But God has

183
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: seen your cruelty and he's seen my hard work.

184
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 3: That's why he's blessed me in abundance.

185
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: God saw what was unfair, and he saw how Jacob

186
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: kept passing the test, taking the high road. Jacob ended

187
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: up leaving with more flocks than Laban. In a short time,

188
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: he outgrew Laban. The blessing on his life caused him

189
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: to come into sudden increase to acceleration. What was that

190
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: payback time? Don't be discouraged over what it looks like

191
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: you're losing, how you're being shortchanged, not getting what you deserve.

192
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: When you come into your payback time, you'll see sudden increase,

193
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: unusual growth, extraordinary blessings. God knows what you're owed.

194
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 3: He's storing up the blessing.

195
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: When he releases it, it's going to catapult you ahead.

196
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: Now here's the key.

197
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: Don't look to people to make it up to you.

198
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: Look to God. That person that hurts you, the friend

199
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: that did you wrong, the company that lets you go.

200
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 3: They can't pay you back the way God is going

201
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 3: to pay you back.

202
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: If you get it from people, it's going to be

203
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: less than what it should have been.

204
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: You have to pass the test.

205
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: Of being vindictive trying to get revenge, showing them that

206
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: you can.

207
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 3: Play at that game.

208
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: That's a distraction, that's not a battle that you're supposed

209
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: to fight. Let God take care of it. Too often

210
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: we're trying to get something from people that they don't

211
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: have to give. That person that did you wrong, the

212
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: friend that walked away, the boss that let you go.

213
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: Their part in your story is over. Don't give it

214
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: any more time or attention. They don't have anything that

215
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: you need. You're not on their payroll. God didn't promise

216
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: that they would pay you back. He promised that He

217
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: would pay you back. Get your eyes off of who

218
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: hurts you, Quit losing sleep over what they did, and

219
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: start thinking God that he will settle your accounts, that

220
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: he will compensate you exactly your own. If you'll be

221
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: a Jacob, keep doing the right thing, keep a good

222
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: attitude when it's unfair, be your best when you're not

223
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: being treated right, and then when it's all said and done,

224
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: you'll not only be vindicated, you'll be promoted, honored, blessed

225
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: at a new level. Years ago, Victoria and I went

226
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: into partnership with this gentleman that came across our path.

227
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: He had a project that we were interested in, and

228
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: we agreed to do it together. He would be a

229
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: silent partner and we would give the leadership and direction.

230
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: We worked out a very fair contract. Everything we earned

231
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: would be split, but when it came down to the operations,

232
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: he wanted himself and several of his people.

233
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: To be on the payroll. We didn't need any of them.

234
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: These weren't starting salaries, they were executive salaries. We were

235
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: struggling to make ends meet, trying to get it off

236
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: the ground. We talked to him a couple of times

237
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: about how that wasn't what we agreed to. Would be

238
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: better once we built it up, then we could take

239
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: on more staff, but he was set.

240
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: In his ways. He wouldn't hear it, and rather than.

241
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: Fight about it and get into a big argument, we

242
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: just kept being our best doing what we could, trusting

243
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: God to do what we couldn't. If you don't understand

244
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: that God will settle your accounts, then you'll get frustrated,

245
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: try to get revenge, manipulate things. Let God pay you back.

246
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: Trust him when it's not fair. He sees exactly what's happening.

247
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: That's why he told Jacob, I have seen.

248
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 3: All that Laban has done to you.

249
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: That little detail could have been left out of the scripture,

250
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: no big deal, but God had it recorded so we

251
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: would know that He sees when it's unfair. He sees

252
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: when you're being wronged. He sees when people are taking

253
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: advantage of you.

254
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 3: If you'll stay in faith.

255
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: And keep honoring him, the time will come where he'll

256
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: not only vindicate you, but he will honor you in

257
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: front of those that tried to hold you back. He's

258
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: preparing a table in the presence of your enemies. That

259
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: means when you have enemies, when it's unfair, you're not

260
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: being treated right, there's a table there. Instead of living frustrated,

261
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: why don't you take a seat. Why don't you stay

262
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: in peace and let God make your wrongs right. Our

263
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: attitude should be Father, thank you that you will settle

264
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: my accounts. I know you are a just God. You

265
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: will pay me back all that I'm owed. Several years

266
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: went by, and we just kept on doing the right thing.

267
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: One day, out of the blue, this man called and

268
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: asked if we would buy him out. He had never

269
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: given any indication that he didn't want to be a

270
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: long term partner, but for some reason he suddenly changed

271
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: his mind. We bought him out at the same value

272
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: we purchased our part About a year later, a company

273
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: contacted us about buying the business business. We ended up

274
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: selling it for more than ten times what we bought

275
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: it for. Those few salaries we paid for several years

276
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: that weren't fair. God compensated us many times over. If

277
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: that man would have waited a few more months, he

278
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: would have received a huge return on his investment.

279
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 3: Instead, it all came to us.

280
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: When God pays you back, it won't be average, it

281
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: won't be ordinary. It will be more than you can imagine.

282
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: David said in Psalm eighteen. The Lord rewarded me for

283
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: doing right. Then he compensated me from my innocence. When

284
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: you keep doing the right thing, God will compensate you. Now.

285
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: I believe many of you have been doing this. You've

286
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: done the right thing when it was hard. You've been

287
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: good to people that weren't good to you. You stayed

288
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: on the high road instead of paying people back. God

289
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: is saying, I'm about to settle your account. I'm about

290
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: to vindicate you, promote you, suddenly.

291
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 3: Turn things around.

292
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: You didn't see it coming, but suddenly He's going to

293
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: thrust you to a new level, thrust you to abundance,

294
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: thrust you into greater influence, honor, opportunity. Like with us,

295
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: You're going to come out with much more than those

296
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: that tried to stop you. They tried to push you down,

297
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: but when God settled your account, it's going to catapult

298
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: you ahead. Listen, you are closer to your payback than

299
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: you think. Don't get tired of doing the right thing.

300
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: Your due season is coming. The unfair situation, the bad break,

301
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: the people that left you out didn't go unnoticed. God

302
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: saw your innocence, he saw your faithfulness. He's about to

303
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: settle that account. The Israelites had been in slavery for

304
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty years. They were mistreated, forced to

305
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: work long hours with no breaks, given quotas that were

306
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: impossible to meet. It looked like that was their destiny.

307
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: But God is not going to let people continually mistreat you,

308
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: continually take advantage of you. He said in Exodus, I

309
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: have seen the affliction of my people. I have heard

310
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: their cries. I am coming down to deliver them. God

311
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: was saying, enough is enough, it's payback time. I'm ready

312
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: to settle this account. God didn't just deliver them. He

313
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: didn't just free them from the Pharaoh. That would have

314
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: been a great miracle. But when you're on God's payroll,

315
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: when you honor him with your life, he's keeping a

316
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: record of everything that's owed you, everything.

317
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 3: That should have been yours. They didn't leave Egypt empty handed.

318
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: The scripture says God caused them to have favor with

319
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: their oppressors. They gave them their gold, their jewelry, and

320
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: their clothing. Think about how strange that was. The people

321
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: that had held them all those years, made their.

322
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: Life lives miserable. Now they're giving them their valuables.

323
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: What was that God paying them back for four hundred

324
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: and thirty years of working without pain. It says in

325
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: Psalms that they left loaded down with blessings.

326
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 3: For years, they had been.

327
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: Loaded down with burdens, loaded down with pressure, loaded down

328
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: with discouragement. But when God settled their account, they were

329
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: loaded down with gifts, loaded down with joy, loaded down

330
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: with blessings. You too, may have been through some unfair situations,

331
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: seems like the struggle, the loneliness, the depression is your destiny.

332
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: No, your time is coming.

333
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: God is not going to leave you at a deficit. Yes,

334
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: there are seasons where we're tested, things happen that we

335
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: don't understand, but that is not how your story ends.

336
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: Payback is coming. You're not going to be loaded down

337
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: with burdens, but loaded with blessings, not loaded with lack,

338
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: with abundance, not loaded with sickness, loaded with good health,

339
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: with strength, with vitality.

340
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 3: Everything that was stolen.

341
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 1: God is going to restore the joy, the peace, the health,

342
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: the finances, the relationships, the dreams. He's going to pay

343
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: you back for the childhood that you never had. He's

344
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: going to pay you back for the person that falsely

345
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: accused you, for those years you lost in an abusive relationship,

346
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: for that promotion that should have been yours. Now, why

347
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: don't you get in agreement with God instead of focusing

348
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: on who did you wrong? What you didn't get how

349
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: unfair it was. Lord, Thank you for settling my account.

350
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: Thank you for paying me back for the wrongs. Lord,

351
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: I know you will compensate me for my innocence. That

352
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: what was meant for harm, You are turning to my advantage.

353
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: You don't have a victim mentality, have a restoration mentality,

354
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: a payback mentality. Isaiah's said, God will give you double

355
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: for your former shame. When unfair things happen, someone does

356
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: you wrong. In one sense, they did you a favor.

357
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: They just qualified you for double instead of being discouraged. Father,

358
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: Thank you that double is coming. Think you that you

359
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: will show out in my life. I saw a story

360
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: about a young lady named Dawn. She grew up in

361
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: a very dysfunctional home. Her mother struggled with addictions. The

362
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: mother's boyfriend was a drifter. They'd live under a bridge

363
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: or in a shelter, and Dawn would attend elementary school

364
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: for several months, and then when the boyfriend would get arrested,

365
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: they'd move to another city. She grew up with no

366
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: stability in and out of school. Much of the time,

367
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: she didn't have running water or electricity. Despite all this,

368
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: Dawn was an amazing student. She wasn't bitter, she didn't

369
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: have a chip on her shoulder. She just kept being

370
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: her best. In high school, she worked as a janitor.

371
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: She would get to the school two hours before it

372
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: started five in the morning, cleaned the halls and classrooms.

373
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: After school, she would stay in work till eight at night.

374
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: That's how she made money to survive. One summer, she

375
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: went to a camp with the money she had earned,

376
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: and when she came back, her mother was nowhere to

377
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: be found. She called the number where they were temporarily staying.

378
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: It was disconnected.

379
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 1: Her mother and new boyfriend had abandoned her, moved to

380
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: another city, and they had janitor heard what happened and

381
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: took Dawn into her home. She began to excel in school.

382
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: She made the honor roll straight a's. She was elected

383
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: vice president of her class. When he came time to

384
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: apply for college, her friends encouraged her to aim high.

385
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 3: A few months.

386
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: Later, she received a letter in the mail. It said, congratulations,

387
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: you've been accepted into Harvard University. God knows how to

388
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: settle your accounts. He knows how to make up for

389
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: what wasn't fair, what you didn't get, Who wasn't there

390
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: for you who walked away. Another person cannot stop your

391
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: destiny unless you.

392
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 3: Allow them to.

393
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: If you get bitter, angry, lose your passion, then you'll

394
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: miss the payback. You'll miss the double. The scripture says,

395
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: even if my father and mother forsake me, God will

396
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: adopt me as his very own child. He's watching over

397
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: you right now. He's seen the lonely nights. He's seen

398
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: the loveless marriage, he's seen the injustice at work. He

399
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: has beauty for those ashes, he has blessings for the burdens.

400
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: He has joy for the morning. If you'll do like Dawn,

401
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: keep moving forward, being your best where you are, then

402
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: payback is coming. God will open doors that no person

403
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: can shut. He'll give you favor with people and cause

404
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: them to be good to you. When he settled you're account,

405
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: you'll go places that you've never dreamed. Think about all

406
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: the people that came against Joseph in the scripture, he

407
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: was betrayed by his brothers. They were jealous and threw

408
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: him into a pit. He could have thought, God, my

409
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: own family has turned on me. The people that should

410
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: love me before me are now against me. In Egypt,

411
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: the man he worked for was a high ranking military officer.

412
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: His wife falsely accused Joseph. She lied and said he

413
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: was trying to harm her. Joseph was put in prison.

414
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: While there, he interpreted a dream for a fellow prisoner,

415
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: Pharaoh's former butler. All Joseph asked in return was for

416
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: him to remember Joseph when he got out. The butler

417
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: said that he would, but when he was released, he

418
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: forgot all about Joseph. Two years went by in nothing.

419
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: The butler wasn't a bad person, he just got busy

420
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: doing his own thing. We have to deal with broken promises,

421
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: people that mean well but they don't keep their word.

422
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: Something we were counting on.

423
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: We needed it to happen, but they forgot about it.

424
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: It seemed like Joseph would end in a deficit. All

425
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: these unfair things, betrayal, rejection, being lied about, broken promises.

426
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: Surely his story was over. No, people can't stop your destiny.

427
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: If that betrayal was going to keep you from your purpose,

428
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: God wouldn't have allowed it. If the injustice, the person

429
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: that walked away, the boss that did you wrong, was

430
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: going to stop God's plan, they would be more powerful

431
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: than God. No, nothing, anyone has done to you. No

432
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: bad break, no disappointment, no betrayal, has stopped what God

433
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: has in store for you. It wasn't fair, it was painful,

434
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: It shouldn't have happened. Yes, but God saw it, and

435
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: payback is coming. He's going to say your account. After

436
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: thirteen years, all the odds were against Joseph. One day

437
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: the Pharaoh sent word for him. He interpreted the Pharaoh's

438
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: dream and became the prime minister of Egypt. It happened suddenly.

439
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,239
Speaker 1: Joseph woke up that morning a slave in prison. That

440
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: night he went to bed, second in command of Egypt.

441
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: What happened, God settled his account. You may have been

442
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: in an unfair situation a long time. You feel like

443
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: it's never going to change. You attempt to lose your passion,

444
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: give up on your dreams. God has not forgotten about you.

445
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 3: He sees your faithfulness.

446
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: He sees you pressing forward, being your best, despite what

447
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: they said, despite how they treated you, despite how they

448
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: made fun life with Joseph. He's about to do something unusual, uncommon,

449
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: out of the ordinary. Suddenly you're vindicated, Suddenly you're promoted.

450
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: Suddenly you meet the right person or Suddenly, people that

451
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: are trying to stop you are moved out of the way.

452
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: Your crooked place is made straight, your thrust where you.

453
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 3: Can't go on your own.

454
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: What is that the power of the most High settling

455
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: your account. You may be in a deficit now. Life

456
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: hasn't been fair. People left you out, family member turned

457
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: on you. The storm sets you back.

458
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 3: Stay in peace. Your time is coming.

459
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: God is going to make it up to you, Like

460
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: with Jacob when Laban was unfair. God knows how to

461
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: make the streat and spotted animals. What belongs to you

462
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: is on the way.

463
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 3: You don't have to go after.

464
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: It is going to come to you.

465
