He was driving down the freeway 57 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 5: in his brand new Corvette with the top down, going 58 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 5: eighty miles an hour when he saw flashing red lights 59 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 5: in his rear view mirror from a state trooper. Without 60 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 5: thinking about it, he floored it took it up to 61 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 5: one hundred miles an hour. He heard the sovereigns behind him, 62 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 5: and finally came to his senses and pulled over. He said, officer, 63 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 5: I'm so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. 64 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 5: The trooper said, listen, it's Friday, four o'clock. My shift 65 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 5: is over in thirty minutes. If you'll tell me a 66 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 5: reason you're speeding that I've. 67 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 3: Never heard before. I'll let you go. 68 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 5: The man thought about it, said officer. Years ago, my 69 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 5: wife ran off with a state trooper and I thought 70 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 5: you were bringing her back. 71 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 3: The officer said, have a great weekend. 72 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 5: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 73 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 5: I am what it says I am. I have what 74 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 5: it says I have. I can do what it says 75 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 5: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 76 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 5: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 77 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 5: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 78 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 5: God bless you. I want to talk to you today about. 79 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 3: Ignore the roar. 80 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 5: Anytime we try to move forward, thoughts will come telling 81 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 5: us what we can't do, and how it's not going 82 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 5: to work out, how the problem is too big. We 83 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 5: know what God promised, we believe it in our heart, 84 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 5: but all these doubts start to bombard our mind. The 85 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 5: scripture says the enemy goes about as a roaring lion, 86 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 5: seeking whom he may devour. The purpose of a lion's 87 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 5: roar is to intimidate their opponents, to strike fear and terror, 88 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 5: so much so that it will paralyze the other animal. 89 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 5: There are animals that are larger an elephant, a hippopotamus. 90 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 5: They're much bigger, stronger, But when the lion roars, it's 91 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 5: so powerful, so intimidating, they back down in the same way. 92 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 5: Our enemy loves to roar, not out loud, but in 93 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 5: our thoughts. He uses intimidation, fear, doubt to try to 94 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 5: paralyze us, thoughts like you'll never get well. You saw 95 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 5: the medical report, you'll never break the addiction. Everyone in 96 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 5: your family struggles. You can't accomplish that dream. You don't 97 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 5: have the talent. How you handle the roar will determine 98 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 5: whether or not you reach your destiny. If you believe 99 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 5: the lies, let the fear take root, it will keep 100 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 5: you from seeing the promise. You have to learn to 101 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 5: ignore the roar, don't pay attention to the threats. The 102 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 5: enemy is all bark and no bite. He goes about 103 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 5: as a roaring lion. 104 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 3: He's not a lion. He doesn't have. 105 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 5: Any power over you. The only power he has is 106 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 5: the power you give. 107 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 3: Him by believing the roar. 108 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 5: When those thoughts of worry come fear anxiety, recognize what's 109 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 5: happening it's simply the enemy roaring. That's what he does. 110 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 5: You can't stop the roar. You can't pray away the 111 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 5: negative thoughts. Get so determined that you're never going to 112 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 5: feel fear, not going to allow the threats in. 113 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 3: You're going to hear the roar. But you don't have 114 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 3: to be intimidated. You don't have to live worried. 115 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 5: The roar doesn't mean you're not in faith, doesn't mean 116 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 5: you'll never see the dream. The roar is a sign 117 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 5: that what God promised is on the way. The enemy 118 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 5: wouldn't be worrying if he didn't sense there were. 119 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 3: Great things in your future. 120 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 5: He wouldn't be shouting those threats. If he didn't know 121 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 5: you were a giant killer. He wouldn't be telling you 122 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 5: those lies if healing, freedom, abundance wasn't around the corner. 123 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 5: The scripture says the enemy is a liar and there 124 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 5: is no truth in him. 125 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 3: When he roars, you can. 126 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 5: Take the opposite of what he's saying. You'll never meet 127 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 5: the right person. You've been single so long. 128 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 3: Lord, Thank you. 129 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 5: Now I know the right person is on the way. 130 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 5: I believe they're already headed my direction. You hear that roar, 131 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 5: your child will never get back on course. You raised 132 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 5: him right, But look at where he is now take 133 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 5: the opposite father, Thank you. Now, I know that as 134 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 5: for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, 135 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 5: that my child he will fulfill his purpose. 136 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 3: That he will do great things. 137 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 5: The reason the enemy is roaring is because you're closer 138 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 5: than you think. He's trying to threaten you with intimidation fear. 139 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 3: The truth is the roar means you're a threat to him. 140 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 5: Start ignoring the roar, Quit living worried about your health, 141 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 5: your finances. How you can accomplish that dream. God has 142 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 5: not brought you this far. 143 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: To leave you. He's taken care of you in the past. 144 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 3: He's going to take care of you in the future. 145 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 5: Says The enemy goes about seeking whom he may devour. 146 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 5: That means he can't devour everyone. What determines whether or 147 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 5: not you can be devoured is what do you. 148 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: Do with the roar. If you believe the roar, then 149 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 3: you'll be defeated. 150 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 5: If you dwell on the lies, live worried, intimidated, afraid, 151 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 5: you won't see the promises come to pass. When my 152 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 5: mother was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer back in nineteen 153 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 5: eighty one. The medical report didn't look good, but she 154 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 5: believed what God promised, that he would restore health back 155 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 5: into her, that she would live and not die. But 156 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 5: just because she believed that didn't stop the roar. Just 157 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 5: because you have faith you're declaring promises, doesn't mean you're 158 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 5: not going to hear lies, threats, thoughts of fear. 159 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,119 Speaker 3: It's not going to work out. Just give up. It's over. 160 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 5: You can't stop the roar, but you can't ignore it. 161 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 5: You don't have to dwell on all the negative thoughts 162 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 5: telling you that it's not going to work out, you're 163 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 5: not going to get well, not going to see your 164 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 5: family restored. 165 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 3: Those thoughts will be loud. 166 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 5: The enemy can be compelling, persuasive, intimidating. 167 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 3: Don't pay it any attention. 168 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 5: He wouldn't be roaring if victory wasn't in your future. 169 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 5: My mother would be lying in bed in the middle 170 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 5: of the night, and the thought would come saying, you 171 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 5: can wear that new pink dress. 172 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 3: You bought to your funeral. You can be buried in 173 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 3: that outfit. 174 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 5: She had plenty of opportunities to listen to the roar, 175 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 5: live worried, depressed. If she had done that, she wouldn't 176 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 5: be here today. How you handle the roar determines whether. 177 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 3: Or not you can be devoured. 178 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 5: Don't let the negative thoughts play, the threats, the fear, 179 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 5: the intimidation. 180 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 3: Start ignoring the roar. 181 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 5: Keep your mind positive, hopeful, faith filled. I read where 182 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 5: lions are territorial. One reason they roar is to keep 183 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 5: other animals off their territory. If a leopard, a cheetah, 184 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 5: a giraffe starts to get close, then they get loud. 185 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 5: It's to try to intimidate them, invoke fear. That roar 186 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 5: is saying, stay off my territory. If you come closer, 187 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 5: there's going to be a fight. The same principle is 188 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 5: true with our enemy. When you start to take new ground, 189 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 5: you go after your healing, your freedom, your abundance. The 190 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 5: enemy thinks that's his territory. He thinks that belongs to him. 191 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 5: So you'll hear that roar louder than ever. He's hoping 192 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 5: to intimidate you to where you turn back and don't 193 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 5: go after what God put in your heart. 194 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 3: How many people hear. 195 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 5: The roar and give up on their dream, quit believing 196 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 5: for their healing, think. 197 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 3: They could never get out of debt. Have a new perspective. 198 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 5: The roar is a sign that you're moving toward what 199 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 5: God promised. 200 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 3: You wouldn't hear the roar if. 201 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 5: You weren't about to go where you've never been, see 202 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 5: favor influence like you've never seen. When my father went 203 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 5: to be with the Lord, I had never ministered, but 204 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 5: I knew I was supposed to step up and pasture 205 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 5: the church. 206 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 3: Thoughts started bombarding my mind. You can't minister Joel. Nobody's 207 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 3: going to listen to you. You don't have the training, 208 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 3: the experience. You're going to get up there and look 209 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 3: like a fool. 210 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 5: The enemy started roaring, trying to keep me from stepping 211 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 5: into my purpose. Those thoughts were loud, intimidating, compelling. In 212 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 5: one sense, everything they were saying was true. But God 213 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 5: will put things in your spirit that don't make sense. 214 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 3: To your mind. You don't have to figure it all out. 215 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 5: All you have to do is believe, get in agreement 216 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 5: with God and not the fear in doubt. 217 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 3: The enemy didn't want me to go further. 218 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 5: He didn't want to give up that ground. That's why 219 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 5: he roared so loud. In the same way, he's sitting 220 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 5: on your promised land. Don't be surprised if you hear 221 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 5: all kinds of doubt, fear you can't do it. You're 222 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 5: not that talented. You've had that problem too long. Nobody 223 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 5: in your family is successful. You had a disadvantage. 224 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 3: Tune that all out. What God put in your spirit 225 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 3: belongs to you. Now go after it. 226 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 5: You have to get in agreement with your heart and 227 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 5: not your head. If I would have listened to the roar, 228 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 5: I would have turned around and never made it into 229 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 5: my promised land. If I would have let the fear 230 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 5: intimidation take root, I wouldn't be up here. I wouldn't 231 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 5: have seen the books, would have seen the compact center, 232 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 5: wouldn't have seen serious radio. Are you missing out on 233 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 5: something because you're listening to the roar? Are you watering 234 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 5: down dreams, playing it safe, stuck in your comfort zone, 235 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 5: not believing you can beat the cancer, accepting the addiction. 236 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 5: My prayer is you'll recognize it's only a roar. Those 237 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 5: thoughts that are limiting, defeated, intimidating, They are lies to 238 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 5: try to keep. 239 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 3: You from the greatness that's in you. Do yourself a favor. 240 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 3: Start ignoring the roar. 241 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 5: Yes it's loud, Yes it's convincing. This is where faith 242 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 5: has to kick in. I'm going to believe what God 243 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 5: says about me. I am who he says I am. 244 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 5: I can do what he says I can do. I 245 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 5: was intimidated, didn't know if I could do it. But 246 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 5: I started speaking victory. I started declaring the promises over 247 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 5: my life. I am strong in the Lord. I can 248 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 5: do all things through Christ. I've been raised up for 249 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 5: such a time as this. I'm equipped, empowered, anointed. Sometimes 250 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 5: you need to ignore the roar. Other times you need 251 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 5: to roar back when those lies say that you'll never 252 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 5: get well. Instead of accepting it, roar back, No thanks. 253 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 5: God is restoring health back in to me. I will 254 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 5: live and not die. The enemy is good at roaring. 255 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 3: You need to get good at roaring. Well, you've seen 256 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 3: your best days. 257 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 5: Man, it's all downhill from here. No thanks, You must 258 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 5: have the wrong person. My latter days will be better 259 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 5: than my former days. God has taken me from glory 260 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 5: to glory. With your family, It's never gonna get back 261 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 5: on course, look how long it's been. Just accept it 262 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 5: instead of letting that discourage you don't you roar back. 263 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 3: No thanks. 264 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 5: As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 265 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 5: My children will be mighty in the land. What God 266 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 5: started he will finish. Quit letting the roar. 267 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 3: Dominate your life. 268 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 5: Take control of your thought life, the battles taking place. 269 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: In our mind. 270 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 5: The enemy knows if he can control your thoughts, he 271 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 5: can control your life. You can't keep him from roaring, 272 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 5: But when you recognize his tactics, when you know he 273 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 5: goes about as a roaring lion, then you can deal 274 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 5: with them properly. 275 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 3: You won't let the roar keep you from your purpose. 276 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 5: It may be intimidating, but it cannot stop what God 277 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 5: has ordained for you. Ignore the roar, keep moving forward, 278 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 5: and God will get you to your destiny. Second Chronicles 279 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 5: thirty two. The king of Syrium had his army surround 280 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 5: the city of Judah. They were camped around the walls, 281 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 5: about to break through and take the city. His plan 282 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 5: was to go to Jerusalem next and attack it. King 283 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 5: Hezekiah told the Israelites not to worry that God was going. 284 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 3: To take care of them. 285 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 5: The Syrian king sent a letter to Hezekiah saying, what 286 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 5: makes you think we're not going to defeat you, like 287 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 5: we're defeating all these other cities. Their gods didn't save them. 288 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 5: Your god is not going to save you. He sent 289 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 5: this letter trying to intimidate them. Then he sent some 290 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 5: of his men to Jerusalem. They came to the walls. 291 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 5: Verse eighteen says they shouted threats, trying to terrify the. 292 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 3: People so it would make them easier to capture. 293 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 5: They knew if they could defeat them in their thinking, 294 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 5: if they could get the Israelites fearful, intimidated, then they 295 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 5: could defeat them in real life. The Israelites hurt all 296 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 5: the threats, the insults, mocking their god, making fun of them. 297 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 3: The Syrians thought they would panic. 298 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 5: Fall apart, but King Hezekiah knew how to ignore the roar. 299 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 5: He said to the people, do not be afraid of 300 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 5: the King of Syria or his mighty army, for there 301 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 5: is a power far greater on our side. He may 302 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 5: have a great army, but they are just men. 303 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 3: We have the Lord, our God to fight for us. 304 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 5: The Syrians shouted the threats, but they fell on deaf ears. 305 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 5: They tried to intimidate, but the Israelites didn't take the bait. 306 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 5: The enemy has no new tricks. He's not creative. He 307 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 5: uses the same tactics, the roaring lion, loud threats, loud thoughts. 308 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 5: It's not going to work out, this problem's too big. 309 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 5: Give up, surrender, quit believing. He's expecting these negative thoughts. 310 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 3: To make it easier to defeat you. 311 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 5: What he doesn't realize is you're like Hezekiah. You know 312 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 5: his tactics, You're aware of his schemes. He's all bark 313 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 5: and no bite when you call his hand on it, 314 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 5: when you say no thanks, I'm not afraid. 315 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 3: I'm not intimidated. 316 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 5: The problem may be big, but I know my God 317 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 5: is bigger. The medical report may not look good, but 318 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 5: God can do what medicine cannot do. 319 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 3: He has the final saying. Or these people against. 320 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 5: Me may be powerful, I'll admit that, but my God 321 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 5: is all powerful. 322 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 3: He flung stars into space, He spoke worlds into existence. 323 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 3: Him being for me is more than the world being 324 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 3: against me. 325 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 5: God won't let you get in a problem that he 326 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 5: can't get you out of. 327 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 3: He won't give you a dream that you can accomplish. 328 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 5: Tune out all the negative, the threats, the doubt, the fear, intimidation, 329 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 5: that's to be expected. That's the roaring lion doing what 330 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 5: he does to try to stop you. 331 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: Now do your part. Ignore the roar. 332 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 5: Hezekiah went and found the prophet Isaiah, and they started praying. 333 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 5: When you feel bombarded by doubt, fear, opposition, find someone 334 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 5: full of faith that will stand in agreement with you. 335 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 5: The scripture says one can chase a thousand. 336 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 3: But two can put ten thousand to flight. 337 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 5: In these times when the lion is roaring, you don't 338 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 5: need people. 339 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 3: That will agree with the lion. 340 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 5: Well, I'll pray. But my grandmother died of that same illness. Joela, 341 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 5: I don't see how you can get the compact center. 342 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 3: That other company is so much bigger. No find in, Isaiah. 343 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 3: Find someone that says. 344 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 5: If you believe you're gonna get well, you believe you're 345 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 5: gonna see overflow in a pandemic, you believe you're gonna 346 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 5: do great things. Count me in. I'm a believer, I'm 347 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 5: in agreement with God. All things are possible, Isaiah. In Hezekiah, 348 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 5: they ignored the threats. They started praying faith filled prayers. 349 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 5: What you're saying when the enemy is roaring is very important. 350 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 5: If you're speaking defeat, giving life to the negative. You're 351 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 5: going to get stuck. You're drawing in what you're saying. 352 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 5: I can't believe this happened. I'm so afraid. I don't 353 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 5: know what I'm going to do. I don't see a 354 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 5: way out. Don't get in agreement with the roar. Speak 355 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 5: victory in the face of defeat. 356 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 3: As this enemy was shouting threats. 357 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 5: Hezekiah said to the people, be strong and of good courage, 358 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 5: for our God will deliver us. When he could have 359 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 5: been complaining, he was prophesying victory. When he could have 360 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 5: been panicked. He was declaring God's favor. Verse twenty one 361 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 5: says the Lord sent an angel that destroyed the whole 362 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 5: Syrian army, all of its commanders and all of its officers. 363 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 5: The Israelites didn't have to fight, they didn't have to 364 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 5: defend themselves. The threats were loud, they were intimidating, but 365 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 5: they weren't real. And what's playing so loud in your 366 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 5: mind telling you that the sickness is permanent. 367 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 3: The depression will hinder you. 368 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 5: Your whole life, your business will never go. 369 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 3: To a new level. 370 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 5: That roar is to try to convince you to give 371 00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 5: up on what God promised. 372 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 3: The reasons loud. 373 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 5: The reason it's consistent is because the enemy knows he's 374 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 5: on your territory. He's threatening you, hoping you'll shrink back, 375 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 5: believe the lies and settle for mediocrity. 376 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 3: Why don't you start ignoring the roars and go. 377 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 5: After what God put in your heart. See, the enemy 378 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 5: is a bully. Bullies are loud. Bullies are intimidating. Bullies 379 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 5: will try to threaten you, to control you and keep 380 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 5: you down. My father told her about this bully when 381 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 5: he was in the third grade. This bully was bigger 382 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 5: than everyone, always throwing his weight around, being tough, mean, 383 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 5: mistreating people. One day they were on the playground at school. 384 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 5: This bully had a piece of paper he was writing 385 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 5: down names on it. He had a couple dozen people 386 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 5: written down. 387 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 3: This one student. He was a very small boy. They 388 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 3: were in the same. 389 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 5: Grade, but he was little wiry, didn't weigh much, but 390 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 5: he would a tiger. 391 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 3: He had no fear. He asked the bully what he 392 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 3: was doing. 393 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 5: The bully said, I'm making a list of all the 394 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 5: people that I can whoop. That little boy looked at him, 395 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 5: kind of perplexed, a little concerned. In a few seconds, 396 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 5: he said, let me see that list. He took the list, 397 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 5: went down it and saw his name on it. 398 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 3: He was so bent out of shape. 399 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 5: He put his shoulders back, got up in the bully's 400 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 5: face and said, you have my name on here. You 401 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 5: know you can't whoop me. How dare you put my 402 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 5: name on it? The bully shrunk back and said, oh, 403 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 5: I'll take your name off. You have to stand up 404 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 5: to a bully. You have to stand up to your enemy. 405 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 5: Your threats don't FaZe me. Your intimidation doesn't move me. 406 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 5: I know who I am, and I know whose I am. 407 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 5: You may have a loud roar. You may seem big, 408 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 5: but I know me and God or a majority, what 409 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 5: he is destined for my life will come to pass. 410 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 5: Don't be intimidated by bully that. 411 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: Has no power over you. 412 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 5: Ignore the roar, quit believing the threats, living worried, letting 413 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 5: all the negative play in your mind. 414 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 3: I know it's loud, but. 415 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 5: The way you turn it down is by playing what 416 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 5: God says about you. When the enemy roars, you'll never 417 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 5: get any good breaks. You'll never rise any higher. Father, 418 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 5: you said the path of the righteous, My path gets 419 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 5: brighter and brighter. Thank you that my greatest victories are 420 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 5: still in front of me. Well, you'll never break the addiction. 421 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 5: You've had it too long. Tell the enemy take my 422 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 5: name off your list. You can't defeat me, you can't 423 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 5: limit my destiny. You can roar, you can threaten, you 424 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 5: can be loud, but that doesn't intimidate me. I know 425 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 5: a secret. You're all bark and no bite. I am free, 426 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 5: I am whole. I will become who I was created 427 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 5: to be. I was in Africa one time visiting my 428 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 5: brother Paul, and we went on a safarian saw all 429 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 5: these wild animals. The guide was telling us what they 430 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 5: had learned about the animals. He said, if you're ever 431 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 5: approached by a lion, never to turn your back, but 432 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 5: to stand your ground. The instinct will be to turn 433 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 5: and run, but lions can run up to fifty miles 434 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 5: an hour. He said, if you run, you'll just die tired. 435 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 5: A great thought, right. He explained that even if the 436 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 5: lion is a couple hundred yards away, charging towards you, 437 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 5: the best thing you can do is stand your ground 438 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 5: and keep looking the lion in the eye. He said 439 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 5: something fascinating. Ninety percent of charges are mock charges. The 440 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 5: lion is seeing what you're going to do. If you run, 441 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 5: they're going to have a state dinner. 442 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 3: If you stand your. 443 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 5: Ground, they're going to back off. It's going to be 444 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 5: a mock charge. It's not a coincidence that are in 445 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 5: a me is called a roaring lion. 446 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 3: He roars to see what you're going to do. 447 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 5: Are you going to run, be intimidated, give up on 448 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 5: your dreams, turn your back on what God's promised you. 449 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 3: Then he can defeat you. But if you'll stand. 450 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 5: Your ground like Hezekiyah, like my mother, and say I'm 451 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 5: not moved by these threats, not letting this fear, this 452 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 5: intimidation cause me to shrink back, live worried, then you'll 453 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 5: find it was a mock charge. It was a lot 454 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 5: of bark, but there was no bite. And see, I've 455 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 5: learned the enemy will never quit roaring. I've seen God 456 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 5: take me places that I've never dreamed. 457 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 3: It's open up. 458 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 5: Big doors, defeated great enemies. You would think he'd say, okay, Joel, 459 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 5: he's not gonna listen. God's been good to him. But 460 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 5: even now I still hear the roar. You've made it 461 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 5: this far but you can't keep this up. 462 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 3: You've seen your best days. The opposition is too much. 463 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 5: The roar still comes, but I've trained myself to not 464 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 5: pay any attention to it. My attitude is, if someone's 465 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 5: saying something, do I hear some noise. You can get 466 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 5: to the point where you don't give it the time 467 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 5: of day. My sister Lisa used to live in an 468 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 5: apartment by train track, just a couple hundred feet away. 469 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 5: At night, the train would come by and shape the 470 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 5: whole place. 471 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 3: You could feel the. 472 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 5: Rumble of the cars going by, the roar of the engine. 473 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 5: She would wake up every time, but after a couple of. 474 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 3: Months she started getting used to it. There's something in 475 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 3: the brain. 476 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 5: Called a reticular activating system that can tune out certain 477 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 5: things that are routine. She got to the point where 478 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 5: the train never woke her up at night. The train 479 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 5: was just as loud, just as powerful, but it never 480 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 5: affected her. It can be the same way with the 481 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 5: enemy's roar. They will come Threats of intimidation, Thoughts of fear, 482 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 5: you're not going to get well, you'll never get out 483 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 5: of debt, What if your child gets off course, Ruors 484 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 5: of doubt, ruars of worry. But if you'll just keep 485 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 5: ignoring them, not giving them credibility, keeping your mind on 486 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 5: the promises, positive, hopeful, knowing that God's in control, knowing 487 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 5: that he's ordering your steps, You're going to get to 488 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 5: the point where you don't notice it anymore. Yes, it's 489 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 5: still there, but it's not a big deal. Those thoughts come, 490 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 5: but it doesn't affect you now. Sometimes the roar is subtle. 491 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 5: It's not loud and strong. It's just a whisper of doubt, 492 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 5: just enough to make you think, maybe it won't work out, 493 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 5: Maybe it wasn't meant to be. In the Book of Genesis, 494 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 5: Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden. 495 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 3: God told them that they could eat any of the. 496 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 5: Fruit except the fruit from the tree of the knowledge 497 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 5: of good and evil. 498 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 3: If they ate that fruit, they would surely die. 499 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 5: The serpent came to Eve and set in read really, 500 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 5: did God really say you can't eat that fruit? This time, 501 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 5: the roar wasn't loud, it wasn't overwhelming. 502 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 3: It was just a question, really, a whisper of doubt. 503 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 5: When God puts the promise in your heart that you're 504 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 5: going to get well, don't be surprised if you hear 505 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 5: the whisper, You really think so? Did you hear the 506 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 5: medical report? 507 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 3: You really think you're going to. 508 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 5: Have a good year during the pandemic, You really think 509 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 5: you're going to get that scholarship? Do you know how 510 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 5: many other students there are be aware of these subtle roars. 511 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 3: Just hints of doubt. He's hoping that. 512 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 5: It will grow and get bigger to where you defeat yourself. 513 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 3: He knows if he roared real loud, you would recognize 514 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 3: what he was doing. These whispers of doubt can be 515 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 3: just as harmful. 516 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 5: The scripture tells us to be aware of his schemes, 517 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 5: to be knowledgeable of his strategies. Recognize this roaring loud 518 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 5: or small, is not the truth. It's trying to create doubt, fear, confusion, 519 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 5: so you'll miss who you were created to be. My 520 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 5: question is how are you handling the roar comes to 521 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 5: all of us? Are you letting these negative thoughts discourage you, 522 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 5: intimidate you, convince you that it's not going to work out. 523 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 3: Your child's not going to get better. You can't accomplish 524 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 3: that dream. 525 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 5: The reason he's roaring is you're close to your promised land. 526 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 5: You're about to step into a new level of your destiny. Now, 527 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 5: don't let the enemy bully you. Tell him to take 528 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 5: your name off his list. Stand up, and you'll discover 529 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 5: it was a mark charge. What he's roaring about is 530 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 5: not the truth.
