I like to start 33 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 5: with something funny, and I heard about this little girl. 34 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 5: She asked her mother how the human race got started. 35 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 5: Her mother explained how God created Adam and Eve, and. 36 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 4: They had children and on and on. Here we are today. 37 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 5: A few days later, she asked her father the same question. 38 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 5: He explained, how many years ago there were a bunch 39 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,919 Speaker 5: of monkeys. Over time, they became more and more like people, 40 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 5: and here we are confused. She went back to her mother, said, Mom, 41 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 5: you said God created people. 42 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 4: Dad said we came from monkeys. How could that be? 43 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 4: She said, oh, honey, it's easy. 44 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 5: I told you about my side of the family he 45 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 5: told you about his say it like you mean it. 46 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 5: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 47 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 48 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 49 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 50 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 51 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 52 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 5: to talk to you today about how trouble is transportation. 53 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 5: We all go through difficulties in life and things that 54 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 5: we don't understand, and it's easy to get discouraged and 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 5: think why is this happening to me? But God uses 56 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 5: difficulties to move us toward our destiny. Nothing happens by accident. 57 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 5: You may not understand it, but God wouldn't have allowed 58 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 5: it if. 59 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 4: It wasn't going to work to your advantage. 60 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 5: Looking back in my own life, the times I was uncomfortable, 61 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 5: went through a disappointment, somebody did me wrong. It didn't 62 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 5: make sense to me then, but years later I realized 63 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,119 Speaker 5: if that hadn't have happened, I would have never met 64 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 5: this person. If that door wouldn't have closed, this bigger 65 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 5: door would have never opened. If those people hadn't have 66 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 5: done me wrong, I wouldn't have the experience I. 67 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 4: Need for this new challenge. 68 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 5: Now I can see the whole time God was directed 69 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 5: my steps. I thought I was going backwards, but he 70 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 5: was setting me up to go forward. 71 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 4: I didn't like it. I felt like I was stuck. 72 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 5: The truth is that trouble was transportation. It was moving 73 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 5: me into my destiny. You won't become all you were 74 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 5: created to be without difficulties. You don't grow in the 75 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 5: good times. You grow in the tough times. Trouble prepares 76 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,119 Speaker 5: you for the next level. Trouble deposits something in you 77 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 5: that you can't get when it's easy and everything's going 78 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,799 Speaker 5: your way. In the difficult times, your spiritual muscles are developed. 79 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 4: You gain strength, endurance, wisdom. 80 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 5: Every challenge you've been through has deposited something in you. 81 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 5: Every relationship that didn't work out, you gained experience, something 82 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 5: that will help you in the future. The times you failed, 83 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 5: you blew it. They weren't wasted. You gained insight. It 84 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 5: was all a part of God's plan. Don't complain about 85 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 5: the trouble. Don't be upset because life dealt you a 86 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 5: tough hand. The reason you have big challenges is because. 87 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,119 Speaker 4: You have a big destiny. 88 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 5: Average people have average problems. Ordinary people have ordinary problems. 89 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 5: Here's the ke You're not average. You're not ordinary. You're 90 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 5: a child of the most taied God, the creator of 91 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 5: the universe, breeds his life into you. 92 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 4: He's crowned you with favor. 93 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 5: He put seeds of greatness on the inside. 94 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 4: You're not ordinary, You're extraordinary. 95 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 5: Don't be surprised if you face extraordinary challenges. It's because 96 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 5: you have an extraordinary destiny. God is getting you prepared 97 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 5: for something greater than you've ever imagined. Think about Moses. 98 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 5: He was born into trouble. It was no fault of 99 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 5: his own. As a young baby, when he was the 100 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 5: most vulnerable, he was dealt. 101 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 4: An unfair hand. 102 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 5: The king ordered all the Hebrew male babies two years 103 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 5: of age and under to be killed. Looked like Moses 104 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 5: was done too bad. He was born at the wrong time. 105 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 5: But Moses had a mother who understood this principle. 106 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 4: She believed that trouble could not keep per son from 107 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 4: his destiny. 108 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 5: She hid baby Moses in a basket and sent him 109 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 5: floating down the Nile River. There were snakes, alligators, all 110 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 5: kinds of danger. Moses could have tumped over and drowned. 111 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 5: He could have starved to death, could have been eaten 112 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 5: by wild animals. There were a thousand things that could 113 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 5: have gone wrong. But that trouble wasn't a surprise to God. 114 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 5: The king issuing that death decree did not stop Moses's purpose. 115 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 5: God has the final say, people, don't determine your destiny. 116 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 4: God does it. 117 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 5: Just so happened Fro's daughter, this princess, decided to go 118 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 5: down to the river and take a bath. She saw 119 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 5: that basket floating toward her. She could hear the cries 120 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 5: coming from the inside. 121 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 4: She opened it up. There was baby Moses. It was 122 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 4: love at first sight. 123 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 5: She picked him up and said, I'm going to take 124 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 5: this baby as my own. She raised me Moses in 125 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 5: the palace. Now, God could have stopped the trouble. He 126 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 5: could have caused the king to change his mind and 127 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 5: not issue the decree that would have spared Moses' life. 128 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 5: But God used the trouble to get Moses to where 129 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 5: he wanted him to be. Moses would have never learned 130 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 5: what he needed for his destiny. Being raised in that 131 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 5: limited environment in Pharaoh's house in the palace, Moses learned 132 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 5: about leadership, business, how to conduct meetings, how to speak 133 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 5: to people. The Egyptians were known for their superior education 134 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 5: and ingenuity. But at the time, I'm sure Moses and 135 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 5: his mother couldn't understand. It seemed like a setback, having 136 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 5: to put your baby in the river. 137 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: But years later, when. 138 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 5: God told Moses to tell the Pharaoh, let the people go. 139 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 5: The reason Moses could go in there with authority, with 140 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 5: his shoulders back is because he had been raised in royalty. 141 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 5: He understood protocol. He wasn't overwhelmed intimidated. 142 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 4: He grew up in that kind of environment. 143 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 5: What God him prepared for it the trouble, being born 144 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 5: into dysfunction, having the odds against him. If the king 145 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 5: had never issued that decree, Moses would have never become 146 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 5: all he was created to be. You may not like 147 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 5: the trouble. You're uncomfortable. It's not fair, But God knows 148 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 5: what he's doing. That trouble is transportation, like Moses, it's 149 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 5: taking you to the next level. 150 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 4: It's getting you prepared. 151 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 5: You wouldn't be who you are today without the things 152 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 5: you've been through. The scripture says God didn't take the 153 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 5: Israelites the shortest route to the Promised Land. Because they 154 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 5: weren't prepared for war. God had to toughen them up 155 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 5: and get them ready. Don't complain about the trouble. It's 156 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 5: not hindering you. It's preparing you. 157 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 4: It's not going to defeat you. It's going to promote you. 158 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 5: And you may not see how your situation could work out, 159 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 5: but God has a plan. It's already lined up the 160 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 5: right people, the breaks you need. Like Moses, he has 161 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 5: a pharaoh's daughter that will be there. 162 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 4: To help you. 163 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 5: And you trust God when everything is good. Why don't 164 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 5: you trust him in the trouble. Why don't you believe 165 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 5: that even when you don't understand it, he's directing your steps. 166 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 5: You don't have to live frustrated because you had a 167 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 5: bad break. That trouble means you're headed somewhere. You're on 168 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 5: the way to your destiny. If you'll stay in faith, 169 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 5: you'll see God begin to connect the dots. You'll see 170 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 5: there was a reason that door closed, a reason that 171 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 5: person walked away, a reason it didn't happen the way 172 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 5: you had planned. 173 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 4: Because God had something better in store. 174 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 5: He was using that trouble to move you into your 175 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 5: divine destiny. I heard about a young man that grew 176 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 5: up in Detroit. His parents immigrated to the United States 177 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 5: from the small country of Macedonia. This young man loved 178 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 5: to play baseball. His dream was to one day play 179 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 5: for the Detroit Tigers. All through high school, he was 180 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 5: an excellent player, very talented. He went away and served 181 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 5: in the military. When he came back in nineteen fifty two, 182 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 5: the Tigers offered him a four year contract to play 183 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 5: in their minor leagues. 184 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 4: He was so thrilled. 185 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 5: He worked hard, kept getting better and better, believing that 186 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 5: he would make. 187 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 4: It up to the big leagues. 188 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 5: But three years in his baseball career, he had a 189 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 5: major knee injury and. 190 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 4: Was forced to stop playing. 191 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 5: So disappointed, everything he had worked so hard for suddenly 192 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 5: came to an end. He had to move back home 193 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 5: in with his parents. His father had already told him 194 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 5: he would never make it play in baseball. He couldn't 195 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 5: live at home unless he got a job and helped 196 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 5: to pay the rent. This young man had a friend 197 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 5: that owned a restaurant. He asked him if he could 198 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 5: come work for him. 199 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 4: Why he looked for a job, He said, you don't 200 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 4: even have to pay me. 201 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 5: I just need to be somewhere during the day so 202 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 5: my father knows that I'm working. 203 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 4: His friend said, we don't. 204 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 5: Have any positions available, but if you want to go 205 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 5: in the back and help them make pizzas, you can 206 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 5: do that. He started working for free making pizzas. He 207 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 5: was very good at making those pizzas, so good that 208 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 5: he started his own pizza restaurant. 209 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 4: It was very successful. People loved it, so he opened 210 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 4: up another one, and another and another. 211 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 5: Today, almost all of us have had a pizza from 212 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 5: Little Caesar's Pizza, the restaurant that he started. Yes, that 213 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 5: knee injury was a bad break. Yes it was a disappointment, 214 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 5: but it wasn't the end. It was transportation. It moved 215 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 5: him toward his destiny. Joel, something like that would never 216 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 5: happen to me. How do you know your story is 217 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 5: not over? God is not finished with you. The setback, 218 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 5: the disappointment, the loss, the divorce, That is not your 219 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 5: final chapter. You do like this man and keep being 220 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 5: your best, keep believing, keep honoring God. 221 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 4: That trouble won't stop you. It will become transportation. It 222 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 4: will move you toward the new thing. God has in store. 223 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 5: This man's dream of playing for the Detroit Tigers never 224 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 5: came to pass. But do you know today he owns 225 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 5: the Detroit Tigers. It didn't happen his way, but God 226 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 5: had a better way. What you're dreaming about may be 227 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 5: too small, That door may have closed because God has something. 228 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 4: Bigger for you. 229 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 5: You're working at that company. One day, You're going to 230 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 5: own your own company. You're believing to manage the addiction. 231 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 5: God is going to free you from the addiction. You'll 232 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 5: content to be single the rest of your life. God's 233 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 5: going to bring somebody better than you ever imagine. 234 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 4: Don't be discouraged by the trouble. It's not the end. 235 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 5: You trust God when everything's going your way. I'm asking 236 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 5: you to trust Him in the trouble when you don't 237 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 5: understand it, when you're uncomfortable. 238 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 4: Dare to believe that he's in control, that he. 239 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 5: Knows what's best, that your steps and your stops are 240 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 5: ordered by the Lord. It's a powerful attitude to say, 241 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 5: God feels like I'm going the wrong direction, but I 242 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 5: trust you God. It's not working the way I thought, 243 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 5: But God, I still trust you. See a lot of 244 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 5: times we're trying to pray away the trouble, pray away 245 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 5: the difficulties, pray away the bad breaks. 246 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 4: Here's the key. 247 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 5: You're anointed not from trouble, You're anointed for trouble. The 248 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 5: scripture says God is a present help in trouble. 249 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 4: It's not going to stop. 250 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 5: Every disappointment, every bad break, but he will give you 251 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 5: the grace, the strength, the power to go through it 252 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 5: with a good attitude. So all maybe nine says I 253 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 5: have anointed David. I will steady him and make him strong. 254 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 5: His enemies won't get the best of him. I will 255 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 5: push down his adversaries and defeat his haters. 256 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 4: He will rise to power because of me. 257 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 5: Doesn't say I will anoint him so he doesn't have problems, 258 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 5: so he doesn't have opposition. It says I'm anointing him 259 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 5: for the trouble, for the sickness, for the legal battle. 260 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 5: Now quit telling yourself, I can't take this, it's too 261 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 5: much for me. You are anointed for that difficulty right now, 262 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 5: just like David, God is steadying you and making you strong. 263 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 5: You don't have to fight those battles, live stressed out. 264 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 5: God said he would push down your adversaries. 265 00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 4: He would defeat your enemy. 266 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 5: That sickness, that legal problem, that trouble at work is 267 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 5: not going to get the best of you. Why you're 268 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 5: anointed for trouble. I'm looking at powerful people, determined people, 269 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 5: favored people, anointed people. 270 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 4: The most High. God says you will rise to power. 271 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 5: That means you will see increase, promotion, breakthroughs, healing. 272 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 4: You may be in trouble, now, don't worry. It's just transportation. 273 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 4: It's taken you to the next level. 274 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 5: You're about to see God begin to connect the dots 275 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 5: in your life, things that haven't made sense. You're going 276 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 5: to see how God works it all out for your good. 277 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 5: A couple of years after Victoria and I were married, 278 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 5: we sold our house and moved into a different place. 279 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 5: Three months later, there was a knock on my front door. 280 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 5: I answered it. A police officer was standing there. He 281 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 5: handed me an envelope and kind of laughed, saying, somebody 282 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 5: must really not like thank you. The people that bought 283 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 5: our house were suing us over the plumbing. They sued 284 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 5: the builder, the architect, the realtor, the plumber, about a 285 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 5: dozen of us, and. 286 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 4: We knew we weren't at fault. 287 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 5: We hadn't done anything wrong, but I was twenty five 288 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 5: years old and never dreamed. 289 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 4: I would be in a lawsuit. I didn't like it. 290 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 5: I had to go downtown and give my deposition. I 291 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 5: was so worried, so nervous. Afterwards, I couldn't drive home. 292 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 5: I was very nauseated. Somebody had to come pick me up. 293 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 5: Several months later, everything was thrown out, we were all cleared. 294 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 5: It seemed like that whole ordeal, having to go testify 295 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 5: and go through that long drawn out process was such 296 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 5: a waste of time and energy. I couldn't see how 297 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 5: any good would ever come out of that. But sixteen 298 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 5: years later, when we acquired this place, the former Compact Center, 299 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 5: a company filed a lawsuit to try to keep us 300 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 5: from moving. Then this time, when I went to give 301 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 5: my deposition, I wasn't the least bit worried. 302 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 4: I knew exactly what to expect. I was strong, I 303 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 4: was confident. 304 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 5: I realize now the reason God allowed that lawsuit over 305 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 5: my plumbing that didn't matter, is because he knew sixteen 306 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 5: years later there would be a lawsuit that did matter 307 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 5: that would affect my destiny. 308 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 4: So he was getting me prepared. 309 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 5: I couldn't see it at the time, but now I 310 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 5: realized that trouble was transportation. Instead of getting upset when 311 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 5: things don't go your way, why. 312 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 4: Don't you believe that God knows what he's doing? 313 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 5: Instead of complaining, God, why is this happening to me? No, God, 314 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 5: I know you have me in the palm of your hand. God, 315 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 5: I know you're directing my steps. I may not understand it, 316 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 5: but God, I trust you. This is what Joseph did 317 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 5: as a teenager. God gave him a dream that he 318 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 5: would lead a nation along the way. One bad thing 319 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 5: after another happened to him. He was thrown into a pit, 320 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 5: sold into slavery, falsely accused, put in prison. He went 321 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 5: through years of doing the right thing with the wrong 322 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 5: thing happening. Didn't look like it would ever work out. 323 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 5: But Joseph understood this principle that as long as he 324 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 5: kept being his best, that trouble could not stop him. 325 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 5: It was moving him toward his destiny. When you study 326 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,479 Speaker 5: his life, you'll see how God connected the dots. Every 327 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 5: step was strategically orchestrated. If you left one out, the 328 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 5: other wouldn't work. If his brothers hadn't have thrown him 329 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 5: into the pit. He would have never been sold into 330 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 5: slavery to a man named Potterfar. If he hadn't been 331 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 5: sold to Potterphar, he would have never met Potterphar's wife, 332 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 5: who falsely accused him and had him put in prison. 333 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 5: If he hadn't been in prison, he would have never 334 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 5: met the butler and the baker and told them how 335 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 5: he could interpret dreams. If it had never told them that, 336 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 5: the Pharaoh would have never called him up to interpret 337 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 5: his dream and eventually put him in charge of the 338 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 5: nation of Egypt. All those steps along the way, if 339 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 5: you isolate them, just looks like a bad break. 340 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense. But you have to believe, like Joseph, 341 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 4: what looks like a. 342 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 5: Disappointment, a betrayal, a setback is all a part of 343 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 5: God's plan. It's transportation. It's moving you, little by little 344 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 5: into your destiny. God knows what he's doing. God knew 345 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 5: he would need someone in leadership in Egypt to show 346 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 5: favor to the Israelites, so years earlier he started the 347 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 5: plan of putting Joseph in place. It looked like trouble. 348 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 5: Really it was the hand of God. Joseph's brothers took his. 349 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 4: Coat of many colors. 350 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 5: They took his coat of favor, but they could not 351 00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 5: take the calling. 352 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 4: On his life. 353 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 6: Life. 354 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 5: What people take from you cannot stop your purpose. 355 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 4: What's on the inside is more. 356 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 7: Powerful than anything on the outside. 357 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 5: You keep doing the right thing, despite the problem, despite 358 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 5: the trouble, despite the betrayal, and one day you'll see, 359 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 5: like Joseph, God will begin to connect the dots. God 360 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 5: will take you to your throne, so to speak. You'll say, 361 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 5: like he did, they meant it from a harm. 362 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 4: But God's used the trouble for my good. 363 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 5: The scripture says God will deliver us from trouble, and 364 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 5: that means, of course, that God will stop the trouble. 365 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 5: But another way to see it is like the post 366 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 5: office delivers a package. It may start in New York. 367 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 5: They deliver it to California. Deliver means they transport it. 368 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 5: They move it from one location to the other. That 369 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 5: package may have to go through five different stops along 370 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 5: the way. The regional post office sends it to the 371 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 5: city post office. They send it to the neighbor hood 372 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 5: post office. The mailman brings it to your house. It 373 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 5: was delivered in the same way. Right now, God is 374 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 5: delivering you from trouble. 375 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 4: You're en route. The process has started. There may be 376 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,479 Speaker 4: a few stops along the way. Don't worry. 377 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 5: You're not delivered yet. Like Joseph, you may be in 378 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 5: the pit in the prison, but the. 379 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 4: Palace is coming. You're in debt. 380 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 5: God is delivering you into abundance. You're dealing with depression. 381 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 5: God's delivering you into joy. You're fighting that sickness. He's 382 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 5: delivering you into health and wholeness. When the thoughts tell you, Ah, 383 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 5: this trouble's permanent, it's never going to change, just answer back. 384 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 4: Now, I'm being delivered. I'm en route. 385 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,959 Speaker 5: I know this trouble is temporary. It's just a stop 386 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 5: along the way. I met a young lady. She grew 387 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 5: up very healthy, active and energetic, but at the age 388 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 5: of eleven, she had a pain in her side that 389 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 5: wouldn't go her way. 390 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,160 Speaker 4: The doctors took out. 391 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 5: Her appendix, but that didn't help. Her health continued to 392 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 5: go downhill quickly. She lost thirty pounds in just three weeks. 393 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 5: The doctors were baffled. They couldn't figure out what was wrong. 394 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 5: Her legs stopped working, she lost movement in her arms, 395 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 5: and hands, She couldn't swallow her food. When she went 396 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 5: to speak, her words were not there. She described it 397 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 5: like somebody was shutting off the circuits that controlled her 398 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 5: mind in her body. She ended up in a vegetative 399 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 5: state in the hospital, not able to move, open her eyes, 400 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 5: communicate in any way. 401 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 4: She was gone. 402 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 5: The doctors finally diagnosed her with a rare autoimmune disorder 403 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 5: that caused swelling on her brain and spinal cord. They 404 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 5: told her parents that she would be a vegetable the rest. 405 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 4: Of her life. 406 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,959 Speaker 5: There was a good chance she would not live that long. 407 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 5: Her family, against all odds, believed that God was in control, 408 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 5: that he could restore health back into her. Her brothers, 409 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 5: her parents, they would hold conversations with her, talk to 410 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 5: her like she was still there. Month after month went by, 411 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 5: no sign of anything changing. Two years later, on the inside, 412 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 5: this young lady woke up. She still couldn't move, couldn't 413 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 5: open her eyes, didn't look like anything had changed. 414 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 4: But now she was aware of everything. 415 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 5: That was going on. She was trapped in her own body. 416 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 5: She couldn't tell anyone that she was there. 417 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 4: She heard the doctors telling her parents that she was gone. 418 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 5: No chance of recovery. She heard her mother telling her 419 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 5: that she loved her. She was going to make it. 420 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 5: Every Sunday in the hospital, her mother would turn our 421 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 5: Services on on the television. This young lady would hear 422 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 5: us talking about how God is a healer, how. 423 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 4: He can do what medicine cannot do. 424 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 5: All through the day, laying in the bed paralyzed, not 425 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 5: able to move. Instead of feeling sorry for herself, in 426 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 5: her mind, she would say, I'm a victor and not 427 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 5: a victim. 428 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 4: Thoughts would tell. 429 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 5: Her, you're trapped, You'll never get out. She would answer back, no, 430 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 5: my time is coming. This is not how my story ends. 431 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 5: She prayed that God would give her family a sign 432 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 5: that she was still in there. 433 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 4: Three years later, she was. 434 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 5: Able to open her eyes. She still couldn't move in 435 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 5: any way. Her mother asked her, if you're still in there, 436 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 5: if you can understand me, blink once for yes. 437 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 4: She blinked, and they knew she was still there. 438 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 5: That was the start of a long journey back. She 439 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 5: learned how to talk again, how to swallow again, how 440 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 5: to move again. September of twenty ten, four years after 441 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 5: she had become sick, she went back to school. 442 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 4: Everything woke up except her legs. She was paralyzed from 443 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 4: the waist down. She was happy to be in a wheelchair. 444 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 5: She was grateful to be alive, but she was not satisfied. 445 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 5: She knew what God started he. 446 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 4: Was going to finish. 447 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 5: The doctors told her there was no chance of her 448 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 5: walking again. 449 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 4: But through prayer, through faith, hard work. 450 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 5: And training this March, just a few months ago, she 451 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 5: defied the odds and took her first steps. She no 452 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 5: longer needs the wheelchair, no more crutches. 453 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 4: She can walk like nothing was ever wrong. 454 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 5: Today, at twenty one years of age, she's one of 455 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 5: ESPN's youngest on air personalities. She's an actress, a model, 456 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 5: a motivational speaker. 457 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 4: She's with us on the front road. That's Miss Victoria. 458 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 7: R Len call Victoria, stand up, let him say us 459 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 7: song Beautiful y'all. 460 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 4: She's an amazing woman. 461 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 5: Victoria told me I wouldn't choose what happened to me, 462 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 5: but I wouldn't change it. It was meant to defeat her, 463 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 5: Instead it promoted her. What am I saying? Your trouble 464 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 5: is transportation. You may feel today like you're trapped, trapped 465 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 5: in negative circumstances, tracked in addictions, trapped in depression, doesn't 466 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 5: feel like anybody can hear you. You don't see how 467 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 5: you could get out. But like Victoria, that is not 468 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 5: how your story ends. The same God that brought her 469 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 5: out is going to bring you out now. 470 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 7: I believe today some dreams are waking up.

Friends, you 479 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 5: are anointed for that trouble. It may look like a setback, 480 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 5: but really it is a set up. 481 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 4: For God to do something greater. 482 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 5: If you will trust God into trouble, I believe and declare, 483 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 5: like Victoria, your trouble is going to become transportation. 484 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 4: God is going to open new doors, turn. 485 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 5: Impossible situations around, and take you to the fullness of 486 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 5: your destiny in Jesus' name. 487 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 4: If you receive it, can you say it?
