56
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: coming out. I like to start with something funny and

57
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 4: I heard about this family. They live way back in

58
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 4: the woods. They never left their little town, never watched television.

59
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 4: One day, they took a vacation to New York City

60
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: and the father was showing his son a famous skyscraper.

61
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 4: They were so impressed. They were especially intrigued by the elevator.

62
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 4: They didn't know what it was. This elderly woman walked up,

63
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 4: pushed a button, The walls opened up. She stepped into

64
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 4: a little room. The walls closed back up. They sat

65
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: there contemplating what they had just seen. In a few seconds,

66
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 4: the walls opened back up. Outstepped a beautiful twenty four

67
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 4: year old girl. Almost in disbelief. The son said, Dad,

68
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 4: what just happened? The dad said, I don't know, son,

69
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 4: but go get your mother. Say it like you mean it.

70
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

71
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do

72
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be

73
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

74
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

75
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

76
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: to talk to you today about invisible to the enemy.

77
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 4: We all have things that come against us in life,

78
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: people that don't like us. We're dealing with an illness,

79
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: we lost a big client at work. It's easy to

80
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: live worried, wondering how it's going to turn out. But

81
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 4: David said in Psalm twenty seven, in the time of trouble,

82
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 4: God will hide you. He will place you out of

83
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: reach on a high rock. It doesn't say we won't

84
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 4: have trouble. Difficulties may come, but the promise God gives

85
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 4: us is he's going to hide us. You could say,

86
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 4: he's going to make you invisible to the enemy. You

87
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 4: don't know how many times trouble has come, but it

88
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 4: couldn't find you. Sickness had your name on it, but

89
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: when it showed up, you were invisible. That calamity, that accident,

90
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 4: was sent to take you out, but when it arrived,

91
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: you were nowhere to be found. You didn't know anything

92
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 4: about it. You were just going about your day being

93
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 4: your best. And forces that should have stopped you, enemies

94
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: that should have defeated you, Trouble that should have caused

95
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 4: you great heartache didn't have any effect on you. Why

96
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 4: you were invisible to the enemy. That's why we can

97
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 4: live from a place of faith, a place of trust,

98
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 4: not worried. What if my company downsizes and doesn't need me.

99
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 4: What if my child gets off course? What if I

100
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 4: get this virus? No turn it around? Father, Thank you

101
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 4: that I am invisible to the enemy. Think you that

102
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 4: my children are invisible to the enemy. Think you that

103
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 4: my health, my finances, my marriage, my dreams are all

104
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 4: invisible to the enemy. David knew what it was like

105
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 4: to have opposition and people trying to stop him Verse

106
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: Samuel twenty three. He was living on the run from

107
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 4: King Saul. He had done nothing wrong. He was one

108
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 4: of Saul's main armor bearers. He would play music for

109
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 4: Saul when he wasn't feeling well. But Saul was jealous

110
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: of David. He was so obsessed with getting rid of him.

111
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 4: That's all he could think of. And sometimes when you're

112
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 4: doing the right thing, being good to people on your

113
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 4: life will stir up the jealousy in other people. David

114
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 4: was in the desert, hiding in caves, doing his best

115
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: to not get caught. Saul had the most skilled soldiers.

116
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 4: He had groups that were specifically trained in tracking people,

117
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: like a Navy seal team. David was a shepherd. He'd

118
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 4: been taking care of sheep a teenager. He didn't have

119
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 4: any professional training. He was outnumbered. They had more equipment,

120
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 4: more skill. Seemed like he would be easily captured. But

121
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 4: Verse fourteen says Saul hunted David day after day, but

122
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 4: God did not let him be found. God knows how

123
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 4: to make it invisible to the enemy. He knows how

124
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 4: to hide you from trouble, hide you from an accident,

125
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: hide you from people that are trying to bring you down.

126
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 4: Friend of mine was involved in a situation that was

127
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: very big in the press. At one point, it was

128
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 4: the hottest news story around and practically every reporter was

129
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 4: trying to get to him. But the press was very

130
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 4: negative toward him, and he wanted to stay out of it.

131
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: For the first few months, he had to travel back

132
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 4: and forth to another city. The press would get word

133
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: when he was going to be at the airport. They

134
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 4: would all show up. He said, Joel, it was the

135
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 4: most amazing thing. I would get out of my car.

136
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: All these cameras were lined up on the sidewalk waiting

137
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 4: for me. I would walk right past them. Not one

138
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 4: of them recognized me. They never got a shot of him.

139
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 4: One day, a reporter came to his house. He answered

140
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: the door, but the reporter didn't even recognize him at

141
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: his own house. He said, it was like God was

142
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 4: making me invisible to the wrong people. God knows how

143
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 4: to protect you. Just as he can make blind eyes see,

144
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 4: he can make sea and eyes blind, he can make

145
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 4: you invisible to people and circumstances that to harm you.

146
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 4: David said in Psalm thirty one, you have not handed

147
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: me over to the enemy, but you have kept me

148
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 4: in a safe place. We all have things trying to

149
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 4: stop our destiny. But like with David, God has put

150
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 4: you in a safe place. He's not going to let

151
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 4: you be found. You may have difficulties now in your health,

152
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 4: your finances, your marriage. You could live worried panic, what

153
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 4: am I going to do? But when you know you're

154
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: in a safe place where God has you hidden, then

155
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 4: you can live in peace. When trouble comes, you don't

156
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 4: fall apart, give up on your dreams. You know God

157
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 4: has made you invisible to the enemy. Saul was so

158
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 4: frustrated he went back home. Some of David's own men

159
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 4: turned on David. They sent Saul the details of where

160
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 4: David was hiding. They gave him the exact location, how

161
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 4: to get there, what it looked like. All this inside information,

162
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 4: Saul was thrilled. He had his men go do surveillance,

163
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 4: study his movements, find out when David sleeps, when he eats,

164
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 4: where he gets his food. He went overboard to make

165
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 4: sure this time they would catch David. Saul and his

166
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 4: men traveled a great distance. They arrived to where David

167
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 4: was hiding, but just as Saul was about to attack,

168
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 4: a messenger came riding up as fast as he could

169
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 4: with an urgent message. It said, Saul, hurry home. The

170
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 4: Philistines are attacking our city. Saul and his men turned

171
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: around and left. They never did capture David. God knows

172
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 4: how to keep you in a safe place, even when

173
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 4: it looks like it's too late. He knows how to

174
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 4: distract your enemies. He knows how to change people's plans,

175
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 4: how to turn that trouble, turn the sickness, turn the opposition.

176
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: I can imagine sickness come and looking for you. It

177
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 4: has all the details, knows where you live, where you work.

178
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 4: The enemy's done his surveillance. When that sickness comes to

179
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 4: the door, you may answer, But like my friend, you're

180
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 4: invisible to the enemy. It has to go back. Sorry,

181
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: I couldn't find them. When you know God has you

182
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 4: in a safe place, invisible to the enemy, then you

183
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 4: can live at peace. You're not at risk open game.

184
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 4: Any moment, something bad can happen. God has you hidden

185
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 4: where you cannot be found. Many things that were sent

186
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 4: to stop you, trouble, calamity, bad breaks, they had your

187
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 4: name on them, They had your address. The reason they

188
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 4: couldn't stop you is they couldn't find you. God had

189
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 4: you in a safe place. When you make the Lord

190
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: your god, when you stay under the shelter of the

191
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 4: most High, the scripture says, he covers you with his wings.

192
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 4: He'll hide you from things that could have brought you down. See,

193
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 4: the enemy has schemes and strategies to try to keep

194
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 4: you from your destiny. People were set in motion headed

195
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 4: your way to cause trouble. The problem was they couldn't

196
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 4: find you. They showed up, but you were invisible to

197
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 4: the trouble, invisible to the sickness, invisible to the layoff.

198
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 4: God protected you, and you didn't even know it. Well, Joli,

199
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 4: it didn't work for me. I must not be invisible.

200
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 4: I had an accident, I got laid off. I came

201
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 4: down with this sickness. Yes, but that sickness couldn't finish

202
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 4: you off. That accident couldn't take you out. That layoff

203
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: didn't stop your purpose. When trouble came, God put you

204
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 4: in a safe place. That difficulty is not how your

205
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 4: story ends. God has the final saying He's not only

206
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 4: going to take care of what's trying to stop you,

207
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 4: but he's going to bring you out better. In the

208
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 4: Old Testament, God sent plagues on Pharaoh and his people

209
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: for not letting the Israelite to go the final plague

210
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 4: was the first born of their children were going to

211
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 4: be killed. God told the Israelites they had to put

212
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 4: blood on the doorpost of their house when the death

213
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 4: angel came. As long as they had blood over their house,

214
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 4: they were invisible to the enemy. There was no harm

215
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 4: to their family. That night, thousands of lives were lost.

216
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: There was all kinds of grieving, great sorrow. What's interesting

217
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 4: is none of the Israelites lost their lives, yet they

218
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 4: were living next door to their oppressors. Was it like

219
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: they were hundreds of miles away. They were all in

220
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 4: the same area. What was the difference? One had the

221
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 4: blood and the other didn't. One was under the shelter

222
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 4: of the Most High, covered by his wings, the other wasn't.

223
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 4: When you keep the blood over your house, when you

224
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 4: honor God, you stay close to him, you have an

225
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 4: advantage guide you when trouble comes. He makes you invisible

226
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 4: to the enemy. When calamity showed up at your house,

227
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 4: like with them, it passes you by. When people want

228
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 4: to harm you, when sickness, when early death comes, that

229
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 4: may have been sent for you schemes and strategies that

230
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 4: have your name on them. Stay in peace. You'll covered

231
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: by the blood. You're under the shelter of the most High.

232
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 4: Things that take other people out can't take you out.

233
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 4: Trouble that defeats others won't stop you. Sickness that should

234
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 4: be the end can't take your life. You're in a

235
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 4: safe place. You don't have to live worried fearing what

236
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 4: might happen, fearing getting cancer, fearing being laid off. Enjoy

237
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 4: with this pandemic. I'm worried about my business. What if

238
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: my finances go down? You know the good news is

239
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 4: you have blood on your doorposts. You belong to the

240
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: most High. Now get in agreement with him. Lord. Thank

241
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 4: you that my finances are invisible to the enemy. Think

242
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: you that my income, my business, my savings, my property

243
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 4: are all in a safe place. I know this couple

244
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 4: that own a business, and when the pandemic hit, it

245
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 4: looked like it would go down. They're in the service industry.

246
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: With people not being out and having to stay home,

247
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 4: all the facts said they would have an off year.

248
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 4: But this couple had a different approach. They understood that

249
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: when trouble comes, God will hide you that he can

250
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 4: make you invisible to what's going on around you, invisible

251
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 4: to a down economy, invisible to an environment that says

252
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 4: lack and not enough. And instead of complaining, their report was, Father,

253
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 4: thank you that even in famine, we will have more

254
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 4: than enough. Thank you that the economy is not our source,

255
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 4: but you are our source. I told it the first

256
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 4: of the year, how we were going to see overflow,

257
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: abundance running over blessings. It seemed like an odd time,

258
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 4: but they dared to believe for an overflow year. They

259
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 4: said this July, in the middle of the pandemic, they

260
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 4: had their best month ever, broke all records going back

261
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 4: over twenty years. They were so excited. Then August beat July,

262
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: then September beat August. They kept increasing, defying the odds.

263
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 4: They can't explain. It doesn't make sense. When competitors are

264
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 4: going down, they're going up. How could this be? They

265
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 4: are invisible to the enemy. When you honor God, when

266
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 4: you keep in first place, what limits others won't limit you.

267
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 4: Now you have to give God something to work with.

268
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 4: You can't go around with a defeated mindset. Joel, this

269
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 4: sounds good, but I'm afraid my children are going to

270
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 4: get off course. This sickness runs in my family. I'm

271
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 4: afraid I'm going to get it. The scripture says, what

272
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 4: you fear is going to come upon you, quit living

273
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 4: out of fear and start living out of faith. Father,

274
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 4: thank you that my health is invisible to the enemy.

275
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 4: That I will run and not be weary. That with

276
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 4: long life you will satisfy me. Faith and fear have

277
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 4: something in common. They both ask us to believe something

278
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 4: that we can't see. Whichever one you get in agreement

279
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 4: with is the one that's going to come to pass. Well,

280
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 4: I'm afraid I'm not going to get well. You're using

281
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 4: your faith in the wrong direction. Turn it around. Father,

282
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 4: thank you that you're restoring health back into me. This

283
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: trouble may have come. I'm dealing with this illness, But Lord,

284
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 4: thank you that you are hiding me, that you're putting

285
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 4: me in a safe place. That the number of my

286
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 4: days you will fulfill. A lot of times we don't

287
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 4: realize it, but we're using our faith for the negative.

288
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 4: We're expecting defeat, sickness, trouble. On my father's side of

289
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 4: the family, there's a long history of heart disease, high

290
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 4: blood pressure. My father struggled with it most of his life,

291
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 4: and I could accept that and thinks that's my lot

292
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 4: in life. But I have a different approach. Lord. Thank

293
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 4: you that my health is invisible to the enemy. Thank

294
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 4: you that heart disease can't find me. How blood pressure

295
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 4: may knock at my door, but it's not going to

296
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 4: recognize me. This is a new day. I'm setting a

297
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 4: new standard. The enemies we've seen in the past we

298
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 4: will see no more. Don't go through life expecting the worst,

299
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 4: anticipating bad breaks. This virus is spreading everywhere. I'll probably

300
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 4: get it to with all these negative influences, my children

301
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 4: will probably get off course. Zip that up. You have

302
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 4: the blood on your doorpost. You belong to the most

303
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 4: High God. These things may come, but they're not going

304
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 4: to stay. They're going to pass on by. Why you

305
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 4: are invisible to the enemy. Trouble may have been sent

306
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 4: you away, but it can't find you. Sickness may have

307
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 4: shown up, but it's not permanent. God has you in

308
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 4: a safe place. Nothing can snatch you out of his hands.

309
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 4: Enemies may be looking for you, people at work against you.

310
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 4: Your dream seems impossible, don't worry. God has you out

311
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 4: of reach. He's not going to let you be found.

312
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 4: When my father went to be with the Lord and

313
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 4: I stepped up to pastor the church, I was very insecure.

314
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 4: I had never ministered before, and thoughts told me that

315
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 4: I wasn't qualified and nobody was going to listen. Every week.

316
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 4: It was an act of faith to get up in

317
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 4: front of people. By the grace of God, the church

318
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 4: began to grow and people started watching and listening in

319
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 4: numbers that we had never seen. I was amazed at

320
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 4: what God was doing. But with the new growth and

321
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 4: the new notoriety, there came opposition, people that didn't understand us.

322
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 4: It was something that I had dealt with. This was

323
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 4: four or five years in and it seemed like every

324
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 4: week there was something new coming against us, some group

325
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: that didn't agree, and some person writing an article on it.

326
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 4: I was tempted to live, worried, wondering if we were

327
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 4: going to make it. I felt like we were always

328
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 4: on the verge of one bad break from bringing us down.

329
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 4: One night during that time, I had a dream. In

330
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 4: this dream, I was out running through an open field

331
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 4: and there were these airplanes flying very low overhead, just

332
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 4: thirty or forty feet off the ground, dropping bombs all

333
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 4: around me. One would hit twenty feet away. I would

334
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 4: brace wait for the shrapnel. I knew it was the end.

335
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 4: It would explode, make this deafening sound, but nothing would

336
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 4: harm me. I was amazed how I didn't get hurt.

337
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 4: This happened a half a dozen times every time the

338
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 4: bomb went off, but it didn't affect me. Finally, I

339
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 4: ran to this small house, like a cabin out in

340
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 4: the woods, and I was so afraid. It had two

341
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 4: small bedrooms. I hurried to one and shut the door.

342
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 4: I could hear these soldiers coming, their footsteps getting closer

343
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 4: and closer. I was holding my breath, thinking, Please Lord,

344
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 4: don't let them find me, Please let them pass. Then

345
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 4: my worst fears came true. I heard them on the

346
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 4: front porch. They came in the house, looked around the

347
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 4: front room. Then they came to my room. They opened

348
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 4: the door and I was standing there. My heart sunk.

349
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 4: I thought, okay, I'm done. They looked right at me

350
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 4: for about ten seconds, just a few feet away. Then

351
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 4: they turned around and left. In my dream, I realized

352
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 4: they couldn't see me. I was so amazed and so relieved.

353
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 4: And as they were walking down the road, I woke

354
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 4: up and I heard God say, down in my spirit, Joel,

355
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: don't worry about who's coming against you, how big, how important,

356
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 4: how influential. I have you hidden in a safe place.

357
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 4: That's what David said. When trouble comes, God will hide you.

358
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 4: I look back over these last twenty years that I've

359
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 4: been pastoring. There's been a lot of chatter, but none

360
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 4: of it to stop my destiny. Most of the people

361
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 4: that were against me aren't even around anymore. What you're

362
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 4: up against, it's no match for our God. He controls

363
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 4: the universe. He knows how to hide you. Yes, it

364
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 4: may get rocky from time to time, bombs going off

365
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 4: around you, so to speak, they're not going to harm you.

366
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 4: Enemies knocking at your door, debt, trouble, sickness, calamity, stay

367
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 4: in peace. You're invisible to the enemy. It may show up,

368
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 4: but it's not going to find you. That sickness can't

369
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 4: take you out, That bad break can't stop your destiny.

370
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 4: That trouble looks permanent, but it's only temporary. Things are

371
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 4: about to change in your favor. That's what happened to

372
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 4: Peter in Acts, chapter twelve. He was arrested for sharing

373
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 4: his faith and put in prison. King Herod ordered sixteen

374
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 4: soldiers to guard him. He wanted to make sure he

375
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 4: didn't escape. He had him chained between two soldiers in

376
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 4: his cell, and the night before Peter was to go

377
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 4: on trial, he was asleep in prison, the other guard

378
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 4: standing outside his cell. When an angel appeared. He woke

379
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 4: Peter up and told him to get dressed. They were

380
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 4: about to leave. Suddenly the chains fell off his feet.

381
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 4: The angel said, come with me. The prison doors opened

382
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 4: of their own accord. They walked past the first set

383
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 4: of guards four men. Nobody saw them, The second set

384
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 4: nobody saw them, the third, the fourth. They went by

385
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 4: sixteen soldiers who were diligently watching, ordered by the king,

386
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 4: and yet none of them saw Peter. God knows how

387
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 4: to make it invisible to your enemies. He didn't say

388
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 4: we would never have problems, but he did promise when

389
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 4: trouble comes, he will hide you. He won't let the

390
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 4: circumstances stop your purpose. He has angels watching over you

391
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 4: right now, protecting you, guarding you. He knows how to

392
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 4: open doors that you can't open, how to get you

393
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 4: out of problems that look impossible, how to blind the

394
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 4: eyes of those who are trying to hold you back.

395
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 4: What you're facing may look permanent, Like Peter, you don't

396
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 4: see your way out. The odds are against you. You

397
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 4: don't know what God is up to. And that's why

398
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 4: we don't have to live in fear. There are a

399
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 4: lot of negative things that could happen, accidents, sickness, is trouble,

400
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 4: bad breaks. We could go around worried, stressed. But when

401
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 4: you know God has you hidden, that He's put you

402
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 4: in a safe place. That because the blood is over

403
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 4: your doorpost, because you belong to him. He's made you

404
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 4: invisible to the enemy. He has a hedge of protection

405
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 4: that nothing can cross without his permission. A thousand may

406
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 4: fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand,

407
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 4: but it's not going to come near you. Why you're

408
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 4: in the shelter of the most high. He has you covered.

409
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 4: He's covered your health, coverage, your marriage, coverage, your children, coverage,

410
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 4: your finances, coverage your dreams. Tewod Kings, Chapter six. The

411
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 4: Syrian army had come against the Israelites, but every time

412
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 4: the Syrians were about to make a move, God would

413
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 4: tell the prophet Elisha, and he would tell the Israelites

414
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 4: that way they always stayed one step ahead of the enemy.

415
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 4: When the Syrian king found out what Elisha was doing,

416
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 4: he was furious. He sent a great army with thousands

417
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 4: of horses thousands of chariots to go surround Elisha city

418
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 4: and capture him. When Elisha saw them coming, he had

419
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 4: no chance in the natural. It was him worth tens

420
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 4: of thousands of soldiers. He could have panicked, been depressed,

421
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 4: But he understood this principle that God can make you

422
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 4: invisible to the enemy, that plans that were sent to

423
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 4: stop you, strategies designed to keep you from your destiny,

424
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 4: cannot stand against our God. He knows how to put

425
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 4: you in a safe place, how to hide you from trouble.

426
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 4: It may come, but if you'll stay in faith, it's

427
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 4: not going to turn out the way it looks. It

428
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 4: looks like the sickness is permanent. Looks like your child

429
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 4: won't fulfill his destiny. Looks like that debt will limit

430
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 4: your future. But don't judge your situation too soon. Wait

431
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 4: till you see what God is about to do. Elisha

432
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 4: prayed something interesting. He didn't say, Lord deliver me. Lord,

433
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 4: stop this army. Lord protect me from these people. He said, Lord,

434
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 4: please make them blind. He was saying, Lord, make me

435
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 4: in visible to the enemy. What a powerful prayer. We

436
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 4: should pray that every day. Lord, make my family invisible

437
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 4: to the enemy. Make my health, my finances, my dreams

438
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 4: invisible to the enemy. The verse goes on to say,

439
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 4: and the Lord did what Elisha ask. When you ask

440
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 4: God to make you invisible, He's going to do what

441
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 4: you ask. Don't go to God complaining, telling him everything

442
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 4: that's wrong. God, these people aren't fair, and I've got

443
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 4: this problem at work. My child won't do what's right.

444
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 4: Try a different approach. Father. Thank you that I am

445
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 4: invisible to the enemy. Thank you that you have me hidden,

446
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 4: that I'm in a safe place. The Syrian captain knocked

447
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 4: on the door and said, we're here to see Elisha.

448
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 4: Elisha looked surprised, said, sir, you come to the wrong city.

449
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 4: Elisha doesn't live here. Great men of God lying you know.

450
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 4: The Syrians did their research. They tracked Elisha, made sure

451
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 4: this was his address, confirmed he was home, had people

452
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 4: that could identify him. Despite all that, the captain was confused.

453
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 4: He said, where is he, Elisha said he's in another city.

454
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 4: Follow me and I'll take you there. Elisha led them

455
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 4: to Samaria, to the Israelites camp. Then he prayed that

456
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 4: God would open their eyes. They realized it was Elisha

457
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 4: all along, and they were captured by the Israelites. How

458
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 4: many times has trouble knocked on your doors? So to speak?

459
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 4: But when you answered, the enemy didn't recognize you. The

460
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 4: trouble had your name on it. The sickness was your address.

461
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 4: Are you sure this is not you? But God made

462
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 4: you invisible to the enemy. He's been protecting you your

463
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 4: whole life. There are things He has kept you from

464
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 4: that you know nothing about. Schemes and strategies that were

465
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 4: meant to stop you, but they couldn't find you. And yes,

466
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 4: in those difficult times, it wasn't easy, but God hid you.

467
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 4: Without him watching over you, you wouldn't have made it

468
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 4: through the sickness, through the divorce, through the trouble. He

469
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 4: doesn't stop everything, but He did promise when trouble comes,

470
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 4: he will hide you. Instead of living worried, fearful, expecting

471
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 4: the worst, have a new perspective, because the blood is

472
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: over your doorpost, because you belong to the most high.

473
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 4: You have an advantage. God has made you invisible to

474
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 4: the enemy. Every morning, dare to declare it, Father, thank

475
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 4: you that my family is invisible to the enemy. Thank

476
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 4: you that you've covered my children, covered my health, covered

477
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 4: my finances, that you've hidden me in a safe place.

478
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 4: If you'll do this, I believe and declare, Like with David,

479
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 4: when trouble comes, God is not going to let you

480
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 4: be found. Like with Peter, doors are going to open

481
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 4: you couldn't open. Problems that look permanent are about to

482
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 4: turn around. God is going to protect you, heal you,

483
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: favor you, and take you to the fullness of your destiny.

484
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 4: In Jesus' name, And if you receive it, can you

485
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 4: say amen, I'd like to give you an opportunity to

486
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 4: make Jesus the lord of your life. This is how

487
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 4: you put the blood over your house. Would you pray

488
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 4: it with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of

489
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 4: my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make you my

490
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 4: lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, we

491
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 4: believe you got born again. We'd love to send you

492
