A lady told me how 79 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 5: a coworker said things about her that weren't true. She 80 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 5: went around spreading these rumors. People believed it, and it. 81 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 3: Kept this lady from a promotion. 82 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 5: It doesn't seem right when you're being your best and 83 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 5: someone else puts you at a disadvantage. 84 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 3: Their choices set you back. 85 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 5: But God said in Hebrews, I am a just God. 86 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 5: I will repay the exact compensation owed you. I will 87 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 5: settle the accounts of my people. 88 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 3: What you're going through. He sees who did you wrong. 89 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 5: How they walked away and left you to raise the kids, 90 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 5: how they manipulated things, made you look bad, how they 91 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 5: were dishonest. 92 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 3: And took what should have been yours. God is saying, 93 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 3: don't worry, I'm going to pay you back. I'm going 94 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: to make it up to you. 95 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 5: You don't have to get even. You don't have to 96 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 5: vindicate yourself. The most High God is going to settle 97 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 5: your account. You are not at the mercy of how 98 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 5: other people have treated you. They don't control your destiny. 99 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 5: They may have walked away, said things that damage your reputation. 100 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 5: Seems like they put you at a disadvantage. 101 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 3: Stay encouraged. Your time is coming. 102 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 5: God is not going to leave your account in a deficit. 103 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 5: He's not going to let you stay down, mistreated, short chained. 104 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 5: Don't get ready. Payback is coming. God is a just God. 105 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 5: You don't have to settle your account. He's going to 106 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,679 Speaker 5: do it for you. And the good news is God 107 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 5: never brings you out the same. He makes the enemy 108 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 5: pay for bringing the trouble. Someone may have tried to 109 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 5: push you down, said things that were hurtful. You didn't 110 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 5: have a good childhood. There's a lot of abuse, manipulation 111 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 5: and jealousy. But when God settled your account, you're not 112 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 5: only going to get what you were owed, but you're 113 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 5: going to come out increased, promoted, honored, better than if 114 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 5: it would have never happened. Better relationships, better position, better opportunities. 115 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 3: This is what happened with Jacob. 116 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 5: In the scripture, he fell in love with Laban's daughter, 117 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 5: a young lady named Rachel. 118 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 3: Laban told him that. 119 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 5: If he would work for him for seven years, he 120 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 5: could have Rachel as his wife. 121 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 3: They had this agreement very clear. Seven years and she's mine. 122 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 5: Jacob worked those seven years, being his best. 123 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: He didn't just pass the time. He excelled. 124 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 5: Because of Jacob, Laban became very wealthy. His flocks multiplied 125 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 5: many times over seven years. Finally came and Jacob was 126 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 5: so excited in those days. At the wedding, the bride 127 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 5: wore a very thick veil. 128 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 3: You couldn't see who was in there. 129 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 5: After the big celebration with partying and dancing, I can 130 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 5: imagine Jacob went to bed that night with a little 131 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 5: too much to drink. The next morning, when he woke up, 132 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 5: he leaned over to kiss his new bride, but it 133 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 5: wasn't Rachel, it was her sister, Leah. 134 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 3: Jacob nearly passed out. 135 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 5: He ran to Laban said, what are you doing trying 136 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 5: to trick me. I didn't agree to marry Leah. I 137 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 5: agreed to marry Rachel. Laban said, I know, Jacob, but 138 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 5: we have a tradition we have to marry the older 139 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 5: daughter off first, work for me another seven years, then 140 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 5: you can have Rachel. Laban was dishonest, manipulative, connithing all 141 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 5: at Jacob's expense. 142 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 3: Here, Jacob did the right thing. 143 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 5: He went overboard to carry out his part of the agreement, 144 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 5: but Laban deceived him, and Jacob was either so in 145 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 5: love with Rachel or so dumb. He agreed to work 146 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 5: another seven years. He eventually married Rachel. He told Laban 147 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 5: that he wanted to move back home. Laban didn't want 148 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 5: him to go. He said, Jacob, I know God has 149 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 5: blessed me because you were here. My flocks were very small, 150 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 5: but now because of you, I am enormously wealthy. He 151 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 5: recognized it was the favor on Jacob that caused him 152 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 5: to be so blessed. 153 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 3: He asked Jacob what he wanted as a parting gift. 154 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 5: You would think he'd want to be good to Jacob, 155 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 5: send him off with a great blessing. 156 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 3: But Laban was. 157 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 5: So manipulative, so dishonest, he tried to keep him from 158 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 5: having anything significant. 159 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 3: Jacob said, I'll work for you a little longer for 160 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 3: my payment. 161 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 5: Let me have all the new goats and sheep, that 162 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 5: are born that are speckled in street. You keep all 163 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 5: the animals that are solid. That way, when I leave, 164 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 5: nobody will have any doubt that what I take belongs 165 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 5: to me. 166 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 3: Laban agreed, but he was so stingy. 167 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 5: He had his workers sneak out in the middle of 168 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 5: the night and take all the male, streaked and spotted 169 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 5: animals so when they made it, Jacob wouldn't get any 170 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 5: more flocks. The funny thing is, when the solid colored 171 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 5: animals mated, they produced speckled and spotted offspring. 172 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 3: It didn't make sense. 173 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 5: This went on and on to where Jacob's flocks were 174 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 5: getting bigger than Laban's. Laban couldn't understand it. He said, Jacob, 175 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 5: I've changed my mind. From now on, I get all 176 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 5: the speckled and spotted animals, You get the solid colored ones. 177 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 3: You know what happened. All the animals that were born 178 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 3: were now solid. 179 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 5: Laban was scratching his head, thinking, what in the world 180 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 5: is happening. God knows how to settle your accounts. He 181 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 5: knows how to pay you back for what should have 182 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 5: been yours. Deceptive people can't stop our God manipulators are 183 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 5: not going to get the best of you people that 184 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 5: leave you out, push you down, don't keep their word. 185 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 5: Don't get upset. You're not on their payroll. You're on 186 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 5: God's pay role. He controls the universe. He knows what 187 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 5: you're own. He knows how to make it up to you. 188 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 5: He will bless you despite people trying to keep you down. 189 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 5: They can't stand against our God. Now quit worrying about 190 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 5: people that have done you wrong, losing sleep over that 191 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 5: person that left you out, that contract you were manipulated 192 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 5: out of. They may have manipulated you, but they can't 193 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 5: manipulate our God. When he's ready to pay you back, 194 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 5: all the forces of darkness cannot stop him. He'll make 195 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 5: things happen that don't make sense. He'll cause people to 196 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 5: be good to you that don't even like you, cause 197 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 5: doors to open that should be closed, cause promotion when 198 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 5: you were in line. God is a just god. He 199 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 5: saw Jacob's account was in deficit. He was doing the 200 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 5: right thing and not being treated fairly, working hard, but 201 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 5: not getting Rachel what he was promised. That doesn't go unnoticed, 202 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 5: God said in verse twelve, Jacob, I have seen all 203 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 5: that Laban has done to you. People may think they're 204 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 5: getting the best of you. They don't have any problem 205 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 5: putting you at a disadvantage. Do like Jacob, stay on 206 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 5: the high road, keep being your best. You don't have 207 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 5: to vindicate yourself. God will not only vindicate you, but 208 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 5: he'll make it up to you. The time is coming 209 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 5: where you're going to see blessings that you can't explain. 210 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: Promotion you didn't deserve. Great people come looking for you. 211 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 5: What is that God paying you back for how you 212 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 5: were treated, paying you back for what should have been yours. 213 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,359 Speaker 5: Jacob said, Laban, you have reduced my wages ten times. 214 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 5: Think about how unjust that was. Here's a man that 215 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 5: caused Laban to be incredibly wealthy. If it were not 216 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 5: for Jacob, he would still be struggling. But instead of 217 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 5: blessing Jacob, instead of promoting him, he kept demoting him, 218 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 5: decreasing his wages. Jacob went on to say, if it 219 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 5: were not for the grace of God, you would send 220 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 5: me off without a penny. But God has seen your 221 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 5: cruelty and he's seen my hard work. 222 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: That's why he's blessed me in abundance. 223 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 5: God saw what was unfair, and he saw how Jacob 224 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 5: kept passing the test, taking the high road. Jacob ended 225 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 5: up leaving with more flocks than Laban. In a short time, 226 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 5: he outgrew Laban. The blessing on his life caused him 227 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 5: to come into sudden increase to acceleration. 228 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 3: What was that he back time. 229 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 5: Don't be discouraged over what it looks like you're losing, 230 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 5: how you're being sure changed, not getting what you deserve. 231 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 5: When you come into your payback time, you'll see sudden increase, 232 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 5: unusual growth, extraordinary blessings. God knows what you're owed. He's 233 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 5: storing up the blessing. When he releases it, it's going. 234 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 3: To catapult you ahead. Now here's the key. 235 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 5: Don't look to people to make it up to you. 236 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 3: Look to God. 237 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 5: That person that hurts you, the friend that did you wrong, 238 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 5: the company that lets you go. 239 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 3: They can't pay you back the way God is going 240 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 3: to pay you back. 241 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 5: If you get it from people, it's going to be 242 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 5: less than what it should have been. You have to 243 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 5: pass the test of being vindictive, trying to get revenge, 244 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 5: showing them that you can. 245 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 3: Play at that game. 246 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 5: That's a distraction, that's not a battle that you're supposed 247 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 5: to fight. 248 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 3: Let God take care of it. 249 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 5: Too often, We're trying to get something from people that 250 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 5: they don't have to give. That person that did you wrong, 251 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 5: the friend that walked away, the boss that lets you go. 252 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 5: Their part in your story is over. Don't give it 253 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 5: any more time or attention. They don't have anything that 254 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 5: you need. You're not on their payroll. God didn't promise 255 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,479 Speaker 5: that they would pay you back. He promised that he would. 256 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 3: Pay you back. 257 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 5: Get your eyes off of who hurts you, Quit losing 258 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 5: sleep over what they did, and start thinking God that 259 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 5: he will settle your accounts, that he will compensate you 260 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 5: exactly what you're owed. If you'll be a Jacob, keep 261 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 5: doing the right thing, keep a good attitude when it's unfair, 262 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 5: be your best when you're not being treated right, and 263 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 5: then when it's all said and done, you'll not only 264 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 5: be vindicated, you'll be promoted, honored, blessed at a new level. 265 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 5: Years ago, Victoria and I went into partnership with this 266 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 5: gentleman that came across our path. He had a project 267 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 5: that we were interested in. We agreed to do it together. 268 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 5: He would be a silent partner and we would give 269 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 5: the leadership and direction. We worked out a very fair contract. 270 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 5: Everything we earned would be split. But when it came 271 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 5: down to the operations, he wanted himself and several of 272 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 5: his people. 273 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 3: To be on the payroll. We didn't need any of them. 274 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 5: These weren't starting salaries, they were executive salaries. We were 275 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 5: struggling to make ends meet, trying to get it off 276 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 5: the ground. We talked to him a couple of times 277 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 5: about how that wasn't what. 278 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 3: We agreed to. 279 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 5: Would be better once we built it up, then we 280 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 5: could take on more staff, but he was set in 281 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 5: his ways. He wouldn't hear it, and rather than fight 282 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 5: about it and get into a big argument, we just 283 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 5: kept being our best, doing what we could, trusting God 284 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 5: to do what we couldn't. 285 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 3: If you don't understand. 286 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 5: That God will settle your accounts, then you'll get frustrated, 287 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 5: try to get revenge, manipulate things. Let God pay you back. 288 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 5: Trust him when it's not fair. He sees exactly what's happening. 289 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 5: That's why he told Jacob, I have. 290 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 3: Seen all that Laban has done to you. 291 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 5: That little detail could have been left out of the scripture, 292 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 5: no big deal, but God had it recorded so we 293 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 5: would know that he sees when it's unfair. He sees 294 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 5: when you're being wronged, he sees when people are taking 295 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 5: advantage of you. 296 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 3: If you'll stay in faith and. 297 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 5: Keep honoring him, the time will come where he'll not 298 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 5: only vindicate you, but he will honor you in front 299 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 5: of those that tried to hold you back. He's preparing 300 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 5: a table in the presence of your enemies. That means 301 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 5: when you have enemies, when it's unfair, you're not being 302 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,479 Speaker 5: treated right, there's a table there. Instead of living frustrated, 303 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 5: Why don't you take a seat. Why don't you stay 304 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 5: in peace and let God make your wrongs right. Our 305 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 5: attitude should be Father, thank you that you will settle accounts. 306 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 5: I know you are a just God. You will pay 307 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 5: me back all that I'm owed. Several years went by 308 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 5: and we just kept on doing the right thing. One day, 309 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 5: out of the blue, this man called and asked if 310 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 5: we would buy him out. He'd never given any indication 311 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 5: that he didn't want to be a long term partner, 312 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 5: but for some reason he suddenly changed his mind. We 313 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 5: bought him out at the same value we purchased our 314 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 5: part About a year later, a company contacted us. 315 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 3: About buying the business. 316 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 5: We ended up selling it for more than ten times 317 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 5: what we bought it. For those few salaries we paid 318 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 5: for several years that weren't fair, God. 319 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 3: Compensated us many times over. 320 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 5: If that man would have waited a few more months, 321 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 5: he would have received a huge return on his investment. 322 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 3: Instead, it all came to us. 323 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 5: When God pays you back, it won't be average, it 324 00:16:58,560 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 5: won't be ordinary. 325 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 3: It will be more than you can imagine. 326 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 5: David said in Psalm eighteen, the Lord rewarded me for 327 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 5: doing right. Then he compensated me from my innocence. When 328 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,479 Speaker 5: you keep doing the right thing, God will compensate you. Now, 329 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 5: I believe many of you have been doing this. You've 330 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 5: done the right thing when it was hard. You've been 331 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 5: good to people that weren't good to you. You stayed 332 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 5: on the high road instead of paying people back. God 333 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 5: is saying, I'm about to settle your account. I'm about 334 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 5: to vindicate you, promote you, suddenly turn things around. You 335 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 5: didn't see it coming, but suddenly He's going to thrust 336 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 5: you to a new level, thrust you to abundance, thrust 337 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 5: you into greater influence, honor, opportunity. Like with us, You're 338 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 5: going to come out with much more than those that 339 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 5: tried to stop you, they tried to push you down. 340 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 3: But when God settled your. 341 00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,360 Speaker 5: Account, it's going to catapult you ahead. Listen, you are close, sir, 342 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 5: to your payback than you think. Don't get tired of 343 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 5: doing the right thing. Your due season is coming. The 344 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 5: unfair situation, the bad break, the people that left you 345 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 5: out didn't go unnoticed. God saw your innocence, He saw 346 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 5: your faithfulness. 347 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 3: He's about to settle that account. 348 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 5: The Israelites had been in slavery for four hundred and 349 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 5: thirty years. They were mistreated, forced to work long hours 350 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 5: with no breaks, given quoteras that were impossible to meet. 351 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 3: It looked like that was their destiny. 352 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 5: But God is not going to let people continually mistreat you, 353 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 5: continually take advantage of you. He said in Exodus, I 354 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 5: have seen the affliction of my people. I have heard 355 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 5: their cries. I am coming down to deliver them. God 356 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 5: was saying, enough is enough, it's payback time. I'm ready 357 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 5: to settle this account. God didn't just deliver them. He 358 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 5: didn't just free them from the Pharaoh. That would have 359 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 5: been a great miracle. But when you're on God's payroll, 360 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 5: when you honor him with your life. He's keeping a 361 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 5: record of everything that's owed you, everything that should have 362 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 5: been yours. 363 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 3: They didn't leave Egypt empty handed. 364 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 5: The scripture says God caused them to have favor with 365 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 5: their oppressors. They gave them their gold, their jewelry, and 366 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 5: their clothing. 367 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 3: Think about how strange that was. 368 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 5: The people that had held them all those years, made 369 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 5: their lives miserable. 370 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 3: Now they're giving them their valuables. What was that? 371 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 5: God paying them back for four hundred and thirty years 372 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 5: of working without pain. It says in Psalms that they 373 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 5: left loaded down with blessings. For years, they had been 374 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 5: loaded down with burdens, loaded down with pressure, loaded down 375 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 5: with discouragement. 376 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 3: But when God settled their. 377 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 5: Account, they were loaded down with gifts, loaded down with joy, 378 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 5: loaded down with blessings. You too, may have been through 379 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 5: some unfair situations, seems like the struggle, the loneliness, the 380 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 5: depression is your destiny. 381 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 3: No, your time is coming. God is not going to 382 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 3: leave you at a deficit. 383 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 5: Yes, there are seasons where we're tested, Things happen that 384 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 5: we don't understand, but that is not how your story ends. 385 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 3: Payback is coming. You're not going to be. 386 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 5: Loaded down with burdens, but loaded with blessings, not loaded 387 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 5: with lack, but loaded with abundance, not loaded with sickness, 388 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 5: loaded with good health, with strength, with vitality. 389 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 3: Everything that was stolen. God is going to restore. 390 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 5: The joy, the peace, the health, the finances, the relationships, 391 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 5: the dreams. He's going to pay you back for the 392 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 5: childhood that you never had. He's going to pay you 393 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 5: back for the person that falsely accused you, for those 394 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 5: years you lost in an abusive relationship, for that promotion 395 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 5: that should have been yours. Now, why don't you get 396 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 5: in agreement with God instead of focusing on who did 397 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 5: you wrong, what you didn't get, how unfair it was. Lord, 398 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 5: Thank you for settling my account. Thank you for paying 399 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 5: me back for the wrongs. 400 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 3: Lord. 401 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 5: I know you will compensate me for my innocence that 402 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 5: what was meant for harm. 403 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 3: You are turning to my advantage. 404 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 5: You don't have a victim mentality, have a restoration mentality, 405 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 5: a payback mentality. Isaiah said, God will give you double 406 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 5: for your former shame. When unfair things happen, someone does 407 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 5: you wrong in one sense, they did you a favor. 408 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 5: They just qualified you for double instead of being discouraged father. 409 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 5: Thank you that double is coming. Think you that you 410 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 5: will show out in my life. I saw a story 411 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 5: about a young lady named Dawn. She grew up in 412 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 5: a very dysfunctional home. Her mother struggled with addiction. The 413 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 5: mother's boyfriend was a drifter. They'd live under a bridge 414 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 5: or in a shelter, and don would attend elementary school 415 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 5: for several months, and then when the boyfriend would get arrested, 416 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 5: they'd move to another city. She grew up with no 417 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 5: stability in and out of school. Much of the time, 418 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 5: she didn't have running water or electricity. Despite all this, 419 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 5: down was an amazing student. She wasn't bitter, she didn't 420 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 5: have a chip on her shoulder. She just kept being 421 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 5: her best. 422 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 3: In high school, she worked as a janitor. 423 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 5: She would get to the school two hours before it 424 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 5: started five in the morning, cleaned the halls and classrooms. 425 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 5: After school, she would stay and work till eight at night. 426 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 5: That's how she made. 427 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 3: Money to survive. 428 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 5: One summer, she went to a camp and with the 429 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 5: money she had earned, and when she came back, her 430 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 5: mother was nowhere to be found. She called the number 431 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 5: where they were temporarily staying. It was disconnected. Her mother 432 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 5: and new boyfriend had abandoned her. Moved to another city, 433 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 5: and the head janitor heard what happened and took Dawn 434 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 5: into her home. She began to excel in school. She 435 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 5: made the honor all straight a's. She was elected vice 436 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 5: president of her class. When he came time to apply 437 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 5: for college, her friends encouraged her to aim high. 438 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: A few months later, she received a letter in the mail. 439 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 5: It said, congratulations, you've been accepted into Harvard's University. God 440 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 5: knows how to settle your accounts. He knows how to 441 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 5: make up for what wasn't fair, what she didn't get, 442 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 5: who wasn't there for you, who walked away. Another person 443 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 5: cannot stop your destiny unless you allow them to. If 444 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 5: you get bitter, angry, lose your passion, then you'll miss 445 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 5: the payback. 446 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 3: You'll miss the double. 447 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 5: The scripture says, even if my father and mother forsake me, 448 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 5: God will adopt me as his very own child. He's 449 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 5: watching over you right now. He's seen the lonely nights, 450 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 5: he's seen the loveless marriage. He's seen the injustice at work. 451 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 5: He has beauty for those ashes. He has blessings for 452 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 5: the burdens. He has joy for the morning. If you'll 453 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 5: do like Dawn, keep moving forward, being your best where 454 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 5: you are, then payback is coming. 455 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 3: God will open doors that no person can shut. 456 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 5: He'll give you favor with people and cause them to 457 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 5: be good to you. When he settled your account, you'll 458 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 5: go places that you've never dreamed. 459 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 3: Think about all the people. 460 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 5: That came against Joseph in the scripture, he was betrayed 461 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 5: by his brothers. They were jealous and threw him into 462 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 5: a pit. He could have thought, God, my own family 463 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 5: has turned on me. The people that should love me 464 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 5: before me are now against me. In Egypt, the man 465 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 5: he worked for was a high ranking military officer. His 466 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 5: wife thought costly accused Joseph. She lied and said he 467 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 5: was trying to harm her. Joseph was put in prison. 468 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 5: While there, he interpreted a dream for a fellow prisoner, 469 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 5: Pharaoh's former butler. All Joseph asked in return was for 470 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 5: him to remember Joseph when he got out. The butler 471 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 5: said that he would, but when he was released he 472 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 5: forgot all about Joseph. 473 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 3: Two years went by in nothing. 474 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 5: The butler wasn't a bad person, He just got busy 475 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 5: doing his own thing. We all have to deal with 476 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 5: broken promises, people that mean well but they don't keep 477 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 5: their word. 478 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 3: Something we were counting on. 479 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 5: We needed it to happen, but they forgot about it. 480 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 5: It seemed like Joseph would end in a deficit, all 481 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,719 Speaker 5: these unfair things, betrayal, rejection, being lied about, broken promises. 482 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 3: Surely his story was over. No, people can't stop your destiny. 483 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 5: If that betrayal was going to keep you from your purpose, 484 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 5: God wouldn't have allowed it. If the injustice, the person 485 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 5: that walked away, the boss that did you wrong, was 486 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 5: going to stop God's plan, they would be more powerful 487 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 5: than God. 488 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 3: No, nothing anyone has done to you, no bad break, no. 489 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 5: Disappointment, no betrayal has stopped what God has in store 490 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 5: for you. It wasn't fair, it was painful. It shouldn't 491 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 5: have happened. Yes, but God saw it, and payback is coming. 492 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 5: He's going to settle your account. After thirteen years, all 493 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 5: the odds were against Joseph. One day the Pharaoh sent 494 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 5: word for him. He interpreted the Pharaoh's dream and became. 495 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 3: The Prime Minister of Egypt. It happened suddenly. 496 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 5: Joseph woke up that morning a slave in prison. That 497 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 5: night he went to bed, second in command of Egypt. 498 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 3: What happened God settled his account. You may have been 499 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 3: in an unfair situation a long time. You feel like 500 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 3: it's never going to change. 501 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 5: You attempt to lose your passion, give up on your dreams. 502 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 5: God has not forgotten about you. 503 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 3: He sees your faithfulness. 504 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 5: He sees you pressing forward, being your best despite what 505 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,959 Speaker 5: they said, despite how they treated you, despite how they 506 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 5: made fun life with Joseph. He's about to do something unusual, uncommon, 507 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 5: out of the ordinary. Suddenly you're vindicated, Suddenly you're promoted, 508 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 5: Suddenly you meet the right person. Or suddenly people that 509 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 5: are trying to stop you are moved out of the way. 510 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 5: Your crooked place is made straight, your thrust where you 511 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 5: can't go on your own. What is that the power 512 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 5: of the most high settling your account. You may be 513 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 5: in a deficit now.
