We'd love to have you 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: be a part of one of our services. I'd like 11 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: to start with something funny each week, and I heard 12 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: about this family. They lived way back in the woods, 13 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: and they never left their little town, never watched television. 14 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: One day, they took a vacation to New York City 15 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: and the father was showing his son this famous skyscraper. 16 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: They were so impressed. They were specially intrigued by the elevator. 17 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: They didn't know what it was. This elderly woman walked up, 18 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: pushed a button, the walls opened up. She stepped into 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: a little room. The walls closed back up. They sat 20 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: there contemplating what they had just in a few seconds, 21 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: the walls open back up. And this beautiful twenty four 22 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 1: year old girl stepped out, almost in disbelief. The son said, Dad, 23 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: what just happened? The dad said, I don't know, son, 24 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: but go get your mother. Say it like you mean it. 25 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says, I am. 26 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 27 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be 28 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 29 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is recepted. I will never be 30 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 31 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: to talk to you today about the battle cry of faith. 32 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: We all have times when things come against us. The 33 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: medical report is not good, or child's in trouble, our 34 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: business had to set back. It's easy to talk about 35 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 1: the problem. Why did this happen? I'll never get well. 36 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: This relationship is not going to make it. What we're 37 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: saying in the battle will determine whether we come out 38 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: or whether we get stuck there. We all have a 39 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: battle cry. We're all saying something about the challenge. The 40 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: problem with some people is their battle cry is negative. 41 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: It's creating a sound of defeat. I can't do it, 42 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: a sound of doubt. It's never going to happen. A 43 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: sound of weakness. This is too much for me. Their 44 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: battle cry is what's limiting their life, and in difficult 45 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: times more than ever, you need to have a battle 46 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: cry of faith. Create a sound of victory. Yes, this 47 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: problem is big, but I know my God is bigger. 48 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: A sound of healing. This sickness didn't come to stay, 49 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: it came to pass. I am God's property. It cannot 50 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: live in my body. A sound of praise Lord, thank 51 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: you that you're making ways where I don't see a way. Well, 52 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: you had a financial setback. How about a sound of abundance. 53 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: I'll never get ahead. This has done me in no Father, 54 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: thank you that blessings are chasing me down. Surely goodness 55 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: and mercy is following me. It's tempting to talk about 56 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: how big the problem is, but you need to turn 57 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: it around and talk about how big your God is. 58 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 1: God responds to faith when he hears you speaking victory 59 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: in the midst of the trouble, bragging on his greatness, 60 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: when you're surrounded by enemies, praising him despite obstacles that 61 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: look permanent. That's when he'll step in and you'll see 62 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: supernatural healing. The problem suddenly turn around. The right people 63 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: show up. When you have this battle cry of faith, 64 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: God will show himself strong in your life. This is 65 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: what happened with King Abjah and the people of Judah. 66 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: Second Chronicles, Chapter thirteen. King Jeroboam and his army had 67 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: surrounded Judah. Judah was outnumbered and trapped on every side. 68 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: They were quickly closing in. And the people of Judah 69 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: were good people. They had honored God. Others in that 70 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: area had compromised and gone astray. But verse thirteen says 71 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: they had not forsaken God. They had kept him first place. 72 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: But now they're facing this huge army. Just because you 73 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: do the right thing doesn't mean you're not going to 74 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: have some big battles. The reason you face big challenges 75 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: is because you have a big destiny. The enemy doesn't 76 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: bring big adversity to small people. He knows you're a 77 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: difference maker. You're a giant killer. You are destined to 78 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: leave your mark. So don't be surprised if at times 79 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: you find yourself out numbered, surrounded by trouble, surrounded by sickness, 80 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: surrounded by lack. That's a critical time. What you're saying 81 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: in the difficulty. Your battle cry is going to make 82 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: you or break you. King Abajah could have complained, God, 83 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: why did this happen? We don't have a chance, We'll 84 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: never defeat them. He could have created a sound of doubt, 85 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: sound of defeat, a sound of self pity. But the 86 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: word Judah means praise. The reason they were in that 87 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: city is they were all praisers. They were known as 88 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: people that declared the greatness of God, went around thanking 89 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: him for his goodness, talking about his promises, and singing 90 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: about his mercies. The commander of the enemy army gave 91 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 1: the signal to attack. They all started running toward Judah. 92 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: The scripture says, the priests blew the trumpets and the 93 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: men of Judah began to shout. At the sound of 94 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: their battle cry, God defeated Jeroboam and routed the enemy. 95 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: They didn't have to fight. God fought the battle for them. 96 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: But notice what activated God's power, what brought the favor, 97 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: what caused the supernatural breakthrough. At the sound of their 98 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: battle cry, they had a battle cry of faith God, 99 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: this enemy is no match for you, a battle cry 100 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: of victory. You haven't brought us this far to leave 101 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: us a battle cry of praise. You're the most high God. 102 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: All power and might is in your hand. When you 103 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: have the right battle cry, all of heaven goes to work. 104 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: When you create that sound of victory, the sound of faith, 105 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: the sound of abundance, supernatural things will happen. But if 106 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: the people of Judom had complained and talked about how 107 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: big the army was and how it wasn't fair, we 108 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't be reading about them. Would have been a different ending. 109 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: What kind of battle cry do you have? What sound 110 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: are you creating when you're surrounded by trouble and the 111 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: medical report wasn't good, that coworker took your contract. It's 112 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: tempting to talk about the problem. God, I don't understand. 113 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: I'm a good person. The experts say that I'm not 114 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: gonna get well, or when am I going to meet someone? 115 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: I've been single so long? Zip that up. That's the 116 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: wrong battle cry. If you want the creator of the 117 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: universe to show up, you need to have a battle 118 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: cry of faith. If you're struggling in your finances, don't 119 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: go around talking like and not enough and I can't 120 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: get ahead and I'll never live in a nice neighborhood. 121 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 1: That's a defeated battle cry that doesn't get God's attention. 122 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: Try a new approach. I will lend and not borrow. 123 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: What I touch prospers and succeeds. I live under the 124 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: open windows of heaven. No good thing will God withhold 125 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: because I walk uprightly. There's nothing more powerful than declaring 126 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: what God says about you. Find the promises in the scripture. 127 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: Let that be your battle cry, not talking about how 128 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: you feel, how impossible it looks, what the experts say, 129 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: what's happened in your family. To pass, this is a 130 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: new day. Your battle cry needs to be a sound 131 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: of victory, a sound of abundance, a sound of healing. 132 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: When thoughts are telling you that you've seen your best days, 133 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: you've been through so much, it's all downhill from here. 134 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: Don't go around repeating that, speaking defeat into your future. 135 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: You may have gone through some bad breaks, things that 136 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: weren't fair. Looks like your stuff. You know what can 137 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: change it? The right battle cry? God, I thank you 138 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: that you're taking me from glory to glory, that I 139 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: haven't seen, heard, or imagined what you have in store. 140 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: That my latter days will be better than my former days. 141 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: A man told me last week about how old he 142 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: was getting in, how wrinkled he was, how he was 143 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: having trouble sleeping, and he couldn't see as well, and 144 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: his back was hurting, and his hearing was going down. 145 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: The more he told me, the worse he looked. He 146 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: started convincing me what he was saying may all be true. 147 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: But in a battle, if you just say what you 148 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: feel and describe the situation, talk about the problem, you're 149 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: gonna get stuck. If you want to activate God's power, 150 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: you have to have a battle cry of faith. Lord, 151 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: I thank you that you're renewing my youth like the eagles, 152 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: that I will run and not be weary. That I'm 153 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: getting stronger, healthier, better looking, that I'm full of energy vitality, 154 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: that with long life you will satisfy me. And I 155 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: realize we're all gonna get old, We're all eventually gonna die. 156 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: But I've made up my mind. I'm gonna die in faith. 157 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna die believing, praising, smiling, expecting, thank in God 158 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,599 Speaker 1: that I can still see and hear and run and 159 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: play sports, Minister, have plenty of hair, that I'm still tall, 160 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 1: good looking, a sound mind, full of purpose and destiny. 161 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: Moses was one hundred and twenty years old. The scripture 162 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: says his eye was not dim and his strength was 163 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: not abated. He was as strong at one hundred and 164 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: twenty as it was as a younger man. But you're 165 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: not gonna stay energetic and sharp if you're speaking defeat 166 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: over your life. Pay attention to the sound that you're 167 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: creating in difficult times when life's not fair, like Judah, 168 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: when there's an unexpected challenge and suddenly you're surrounded, that's 169 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: when you have to be on guard. I'm not gonna 170 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: speak defeat. I'm not gonna complain. I'm not gonna talk 171 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: about how impossible it is. I know God is still 172 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: on the throne. He's a waymaker, a promise keeper, a 173 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: miracle worker. Him being for me is greater than what's 174 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: trying to stop me. At the sound of that battle cry, almighty, 175 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: God goes to work. The scripture says, the spirit of 176 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: faith is in our words makes a difference. What you're 177 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: saying in the battle. When David saw Goliath, he could 178 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: have complained, man, he's too big, I don't have the training. 179 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: Listen to his battle cry Goliath. This day I will 180 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: defeat you and feed your head to the birds of 181 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: the air. For you come against me with a sword 182 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: and a shield. But I come against you in the 183 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: name of the Lord, God of Israel. When God heard 184 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: that battle cry, favor came on David and his slingshot. 185 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: He brought down the giant. I talked to a man 186 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: that was in town at the medical center for treatment. 187 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: He has incurable cancer, and the doctors told him that 188 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: he had three to five years to live, and he'd 189 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: accepted it and thought that he'd make the most of 190 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: these last years and just do his best. But I 191 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: encouraged him that our God is a healer and that 192 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: he has the final say, and when we believe, all 193 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: things are possible. I challenged him to start speaking victory 194 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: over his life and start declaring God's promises. Changed means 195 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: his battle cry from being passive and this is okay. 196 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: I can deal with it. To God, I believe that 197 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: healing is flowing through me. That you can do what 198 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: medicine cannot do. Thank you for a supernatural breakthrough. He 199 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: created a new sound, a sound of victory, a sound 200 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: of faith, a sound of healing. He would come every 201 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: three months to Houston for a checkup. About two years later, 202 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: he stopped by after the service and he had a 203 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: big smile. He said, Joel, I just got my report 204 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: from my doctors. The leading expert said, in all his 205 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: years of practice, he's never seen this, but I don't 206 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: have cancer anymore. They couldn't explain it. He showed me 207 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: his paperwork. The main doctor had written, possibly divine intervention. 208 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: Medically speaking, there was no way. But when you have 209 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: a battle cry of faith, God will do supernatural things, 210 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: supernatural healing, supernatural doors, open business takes off, supernatural restoration. 211 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: Your child turns around, your family's brought back together. That's 212 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: what happened for Judah. At the sound of their battle cry, 213 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: God defeated the enemy. It's the same way today. At 214 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: the sound of your battle cry, God goes to work. 215 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: You may not see anything happening, but miracles are set 216 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: into motion. Behind the scenes. Things are taking place. Keep 217 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: speaking faith, keep declaring his promises, keep bragging on his greatness. 218 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: King Abajah eventually died and his son Asa took the throne. 219 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: And Asa and the people of Judah had many years 220 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: of peace and favor. He had an army of five 221 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: hundred thousand men. Everything was going great. Then this army 222 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: from another country came to attack. They had one million men. 223 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: Asa was out number two to one. He could have 224 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: been and complained, but Asa learned from his father what 225 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: to do in difficult times. Verse eleven says Asa crowd 226 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: out to the Lord his God. Here comes his battle cry. O, Lord, 227 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: no one but you can save the powerless from the Mighty. 228 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: You are our God. Our trust is in you alone. 229 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: It is in your name that we have come against 230 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: this vast people. Instead of complaining we're outnumbered, we don't 231 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: know what to do, he's declaring the greatness of our God. 232 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: No one can stand against you. Our trust is not 233 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: in our weapons, not in our strategy. God, you alone 234 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: can bring down the Mighty. Verse twelve says so the 235 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: Lord defeated the enemy in the presence of Judah, same 236 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: thing that happened for his father. They not only one, 237 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: but it says Asa and the people of Judah carried 238 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: off vast amounts of spoil. God will make the enemy 239 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: pay for bringing the trouble. You won't come out the same, 240 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: You'll come out better. You may be in a battle 241 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: now and things are coming against you and your health, 242 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: your finances, or a relationship. You feel out numbered, and 243 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: it's tempting to start complaining, living discourage talking about how 244 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: nothing is changing. Don't fall into that trap. Now more 245 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: than ever, you need to have a battle cry of faith. 246 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: Don't magnify the problems. Magnify your God. Talk about his greatness. 247 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: That's what Asa did. He could have talked about the enemy, 248 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: how big they were, how impossible it looked, but he said, God, 249 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: there's no one like you now. Of great battle cry 250 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: in times of trouble is to remind yourself who God is. Lord. 251 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: I want to thank you that you're the all powerful 252 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: creator of the universe. You're the God who stopped the 253 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: sun for Joshua, the God who parted the Red Sea 254 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: for Moses. The God who defeated a giant with a slingshot, 255 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: The God who protected teenagers in a fiery furnace, The 256 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: God who made Elisha invisible to the enemy, The God 257 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: who rescued Jonah with a well, the God who raised 258 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: Lazarus from the dead, the God who calmed the storm 259 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: with your words, the God who healed my mother of cancer, 260 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: The God who gave us the compact center, You are 261 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: the great I am. Our trust is in you alone. 262 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: Who can stand against our God? No one can stop 263 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: what he is purpose for your life, no bad brain, 264 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: no sickness, no addiction, no environment. You may be out 265 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: numbered today in the natural, the odds are against you. 266 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: But when you have this battle cry of faith, the 267 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: supernatural God goes to work. One touch of his favor 268 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: and enemies are defeated. Healing comes, addictions are broken, trouble 269 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: turns around, the right people track you down. God will 270 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: do things that you can explain. And yes, we're all 271 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: going to have challengism. Things come against us. It's easy 272 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: to get discouraged. But God is looking for people like Asa, 273 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: people like Judah, people that don't fall apart when they're outnumbered, 274 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: that don't get sour and give up on their dreams. 275 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: But people that have a battle cry of victory, people 276 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: that speak faith in the midst of doubt, people that 277 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: praise when they could be complaining, people that declare favor 278 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: in a famine. That's how you're going to reach your 279 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: full potential. You have to go through the battles to 280 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: become who you were created to be. God is not 281 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: going to eliminate every challenge. He'll keep you from certain things, 282 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: but there are battles that are necessary for your destiny. 283 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: You have to go through the betrayal, through the difficulty, 284 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: through being outnumbered, to see the new levels that God 285 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: has for you. Is what happened to the Israelites. God 286 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: had brought them out of slavery, and they wandered in 287 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: the desert for many years, and the parents had died. 288 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: But now their grown children had finally made it to 289 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: the place God promised them, the land flowing with milk 290 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: and honey, where they'd have houses that they didn't build 291 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: and eat from veneards that they didn't plant. The problem 292 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: was the city of Jericho stood between them and the 293 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: promised land. They couldn't go around it. They couldn't take 294 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: a back way. They had to pass through it to 295 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: get to their destiny. There will always be a Jericho 296 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: before you get to your promised land. You may have 297 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: an obstacle in your path today, a sickness and trouble 298 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: at work, a challenge in your family. Thoughts will tell 299 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: you it's never going to change. You've been dealing with 300 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: this a long time. What you can't see is you're 301 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: at Jericho. You are closer than you think. This is 302 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: not the time to get discours and give up on 303 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: the promises. This is the time to stir your faith. 304 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: God didn't bring you all the way to Jericho to 305 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: let that last obstacle defeat you. He didn't take you 306 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: through all that you've been through to have this trouble 307 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: or this sickness caused you to get stuck and settle there. 308 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: But Jericho was no ordinary city. It had a huge 309 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: wall around it. It was fortified, not a little fence 310 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: that they threw up in a few days. This wall 311 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: was made out of stone and mortar, was fifteen feet 312 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: thick at the top, so wide that soldiers on horses 313 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: rode around watching over the city on the lookout for invaders. 314 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: Significant that the Israelites had to conquer other cities and 315 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: get past to other areas to get to where they were, 316 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: But nothing they faced was as strong and fortified as Jericho. 317 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: When you come to your biggest challenge, that's a sign 318 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: you're close to what you've been belie even for. Don't 319 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: get discouraged by Jericho. You're just one victory away from 320 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: seeing blessing in favor like you've never seen. God told 321 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: Joshua to have the people march around the walls for 322 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: six days, once a day. On the seventh day, they 323 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: were to march around seven times. They were instructed to 324 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: not say a word. No talking, no whispering, no complaining. 325 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: God knew if he didn't tell them not to speak, 326 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: they would have talked themselves out of it. What are 327 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: we doing out here walking around the wall. We look 328 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: like fools. This isn't doing any good. I'm hot, I'm thirsty, 329 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: it's dusty. Let's go back home. Sometimes God asks you 330 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: to do things that don't make sense. To forgive the 331 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: person that did you wrong, to volunteer in the kids area. God, 332 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 1: I want to be on the platform to teach that class. 333 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: When you don't feel qualified, don't talk yourself out of it. 334 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: Pass the test. Do what you know you're supposed to do. 335 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: That's leading you to something greater. On the seventh day, 336 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: the seventh time around, God told them that they were 337 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: to let out a great shout. I can see them 338 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: going around once and twice, five times, six times on 339 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: that seventh time. Verse sixteenth says Joshua will command of 340 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: the people shout, for the Lord has given you the city. 341 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: This wasn't just people being loud and emotional. This was 342 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: a battle of cry of victory, God, we believe these 343 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: walls are coming down. What you promised us is on 344 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: the way. Nothing can stand against you. They were declaring 345 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: the greatness of our God. Verse twenty says suddenly the 346 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: walls collapsed and the Israelites went in and captured the city. 347 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: Those six days they walked around the walls. They were 348 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: being obedient, showing God that they trusted him. But without 349 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: the shout, the walls wouldn't have come down. Cry of 350 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: faith is what activated God's power. There may be some 351 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: walls up in your life and things you're believing to change, 352 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: and it's important to pray, to believe, to trust. But 353 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: what brings the walls down is that shout of praise, 354 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: that shout of faith, when you declare the greatness of 355 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: our God all through the day, down in your spirit. Father, 356 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: thank you that you are bigger than this cancer. That 357 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: I will live and not die. Thank you that as 358 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 359 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: Thank you that the enemies I see today I will 360 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: see no more. That's the sound that causes angels to 361 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: go to work, doors to open problems to turn around, 362 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: It says, when they shouted, suddenly the walls came down. 363 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: When you have this battle cry of faith, you'll have 364 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: some suddenlyaes Suddenly your health improves, and suddenly you meet 365 00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: the right person. Suddenly your business takes off. I don't know, Joy, 366 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: you should see my medical reporter, or my business is slow, 367 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: or all my family we struggle with this same addiction. 368 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: The enemy would love to deceive us into talking about 369 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: the problem and declaring defeat and mediocrity, lack. You have 370 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: to change your battle crime. How about a sound of victory, Father, 371 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: thank you that this is a new day, that freedom 372 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: is coming to my house. A sound of faith, Lord, 373 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: I think you that this trouble is only temporary, that 374 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 1: things are changing in my favor. Years ago, Victoria and 375 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: I were in a situation where someone had done us 376 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: wrong and said some things that weren't true, and now 377 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: it was a big legal ordeal and we were having 378 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: to meet with attorneys and go through all the process, 379 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: and it was a waste of time and energy. It 380 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: had gone on for months and Monthson. We did our 381 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: best to stay on the high road, knowing that God 382 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: was still in control, but there were times we were 383 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: tempted to talk about the problem and this is not 384 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: right and why did it happen and what if it 385 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 1: doesn't work out. We had to do what I'm asking 386 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: you to do. We zipped that up and switched over 387 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: into faith. Father, Thank you that no weapon formed against 388 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: us will prosper. Lord, you said, the trap the enemy 389 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: set for us, they will fall in themselves. After a 390 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: couple of years of this long drawn out process, it 391 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: was coming down to the final day where a decision 392 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 1: would be made, and we had to be downtown at 393 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: eight in the morning, and we decided to meet our 394 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: team beforehand at seven, and we drove there quietly and 395 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: we pulled into the parking lot and we'd already prayed 396 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: that morning, but Victoria said, Joel, we need to do 397 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: something before we go in. We should put on some 398 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: praise music and thank God for the victory. That sounded good, 399 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: and we had the Lakewood CD and there was a 400 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: song back then called we Have Overcome real upbeat from 401 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: a live recording, and at the end the worship leader 402 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: came on. He said, come on, shout the victory like 403 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: you've already won. I was just listening enjoying the music. 404 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: When Victoria let out a shout like she's at a 405 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: ball game, I nearly jumped out of my seat. She 406 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: looked at me and said, come on, Joel, you have 407 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: to shout for it. It's like six thirty in the morning. 408 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: I was barely awake. She was over there shouting, Hallelujah, Lord, 409 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: I thank you that it's already done. It's good to pray, 410 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: it's good to believe, but the shout is what brings 411 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: walls down. We went in that day and before the 412 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: proceedings started, their side came out and said, we dropped everything. 413 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: It's all clear. The case is closed. When you have 414 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: a battle cry of faith, the creator of the universe 415 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: goes to work. Nothing can stand against our God. What 416 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: kind of sound are you creating? Sound of defeat, sound 417 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: of lack, a sound of it's never gonna happen, and 418 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: that's gonna limit your life. What you're up against may 419 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: look bigger, you're out numbered, surrounded. What you can't see 420 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: is the most tied God is right there with you. 421 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: He's surrounding everything that's surrounding you. It looks like a setback, 422 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: but really it's a set up for him. To show 423 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: out in your life. Now do your part. No more 424 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: talking about the problem, how impossible it is. Have a 425 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: battle cry of faith, declaring the greatness of our God. 426 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: If you'll do this, I believe and declare like Joshua, 427 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: You're about to see some walls come down. You'll come 428 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: in into your seventh Day where impossible situations suddenly turn 429 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: in your favor. Like Asa, when you're out numbered, God's 430 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: gonna step in and bring supernatural healings, supernatural breakthroughs, supernatural 431 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: abundance in Jesus's name, And if you receive it, can 432 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: you say amen? I'd like to give you an opportunity 433 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: to make Jesus the Lord of your life. Would you 434 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent of 435 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: my sins. Come into my heart. I make you my 436 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: Lord and save you. If you prayed that simple prayer, 437 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: we believe you got born again. We'd love to send 438 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: you some free information on your new walk with the Lord. 439 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: You can text the number on the screen or go 440 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: to the website. But I hope you'll get into a 441 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: good Bible based church and keep God first place. Many 442 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: people believe that God can heal, but when nothing is improving, 443 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: our prayers are not being answered. It's easy to think, 444 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: will God heal me? The truth is God still loves 445 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: to heal. I've witnessed God's healing power firsthand in my 446 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: own family. When situations seemed impossible and medically speaking, there 447 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: were no options, God stepped in and made away. Now 448 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: I love to send you our new devotional, God Still 449 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: Loves to Heal.
