Well, God bless you. It's a joy to 43 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 4: come into your homes, and if you're ever in our area, 44 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 4: please stop by and be a part of one of 45 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 4: our services. I promise you we'll make you feel right 46 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 4: it home. I like to start with something funny, and 47 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 4: I heard about this pastor. He'd been out bear hunting 48 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 4: all day long and searched and searched through the woods, 49 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 4: no sign of a bear. Finally, in frustration, he threw 50 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 4: his gun on the ground and went to the stream 51 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 4: to cool off. About that time, he sees this huge 52 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 4: grizzly running toward him, full speed ahead about one hundred 53 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 4: yards up in front of him. He fell on his knees, 54 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 4: said God, I need protection. Please convert this bear into 55 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 4: a Christian. Miraculously, the bear froze in his tracks, put 56 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 4: both paus toward the heavens, and said, Lord, thank you 57 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 4: for this food that I'm about to eat. Say it 58 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 4: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 59 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 4: what it says I am. I have what it says 60 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 4: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 61 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 4: Today I will be talked the word of God. I 62 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 4: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 63 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 64 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 65 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 4: designed to withstand. There are times in life we can 66 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 4: feel overwhelmed, like the pressure's too much, we go through 67 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 4: a loss, we're dealing with an illness, or we're not 68 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 4: being treated right. A lady told me how things had 69 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 4: come against her at work and looked like she was 70 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 4: going to lose her position. She said, I can't take 71 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 4: it anymore. The worry, the stress, the demands is too 72 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 4: much to handle. She felt like she was going to 73 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 4: collapse under that weight, like it was unbearable. But Paul 74 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 4: said in First Corinthians, God is faithful. He will not 75 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 4: let you be tempted with more than you can bear, 76 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 4: but with the temptation will make a way of escape 77 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 4: so you can bear it. Paul was saying God will 78 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 4: not let you face more pressure than you can handle. 79 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 4: He won't let more weight come on you that you 80 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 4: don't have the strength to bear. When an architect designs 81 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 4: a building, a big skyscraper, he doesn't just design the outside, 82 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 4: what it's going to look like, the color, the size, 83 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 4: the shape. That's important, but it's of no use if 84 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 4: he doesn't design the inner structure. He calculates all the loads, 85 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 4: how much each floor will weigh, how much wind it 86 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 4: will face, how much equipment will be on it. Then 87 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 4: he'll know how big the still beams should be, and 88 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 4: how deep the piers in the ground, how thick the foundation. 89 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 4: In California, where they can have earthquakes, you have to 90 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 4: put special reinforcements in the framing, more than we do 91 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 4: here in Florida. The glass has to withstand hurricane force winds. 92 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 4: I was at a hotel in Colorado during the summer. 93 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 4: I notice on the slope roof all these cables and wires. 94 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 4: I didn't know what it was. I asked the man. 95 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 4: He said, those are heaters to melt the snow. He 96 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 4: explained that if you don't keep the snow off, it 97 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: can pile up, and that weight can cause the roof 98 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 4: to collapse. The architect specifically designs each structure so it 99 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 4: can withstand the pressure, so it can bear the weight. 100 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 4: The good news is your architect is the most high God. 101 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 4: He not only designed solar systems and mountain ranges, but 102 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 4: he designed you. When he laid out the plan for 103 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 4: your life, he calculated everything you would face, all the pressure, 104 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 4: all the weight, all the winds. He took into account 105 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 4: every hurt, every loss, every injustice, every mistake, and he 106 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 4: designed your beams big enough, your foundation thick enough. He 107 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 4: put in you the determination, the courage, the stamina that 108 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 4: no matter what comes against you, it will not be 109 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 4: too much to bear. You've been designed to withstand the storms, 110 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 4: designed to outlast the opposition, designed to endure until the 111 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 4: dream comes to pass. God wouldn't be just if he 112 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 4: knew we were going to face one hundred and twenty 113 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 4: mile an hour winds. But he only designed us for 114 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 4: eighty mile and hour winds. That wouldn't even pass code. 115 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 4: You couldn't get that designed through city planning. How much 116 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 4: more has God put in you exactly what you need? 117 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 4: You may not be able to see it, but your 118 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 4: walls are strong enough, your foundation is deep enough, you 119 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 4: can bear whatever comes your way. God didn't miscalculate when 120 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 4: he designs you. He didn't forget about what environment you'd 121 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 4: be in, what conditions you would face. He didn't accidentally 122 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 4: leave out a beam. Now you can't handle the weight. 123 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 4: Nothing you face will cause you to collapse under the weight. 124 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 4: The foughts may tell you it's too much, you can't 125 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 4: handle it. You need to remind yourself. I've been designed 126 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 4: to withstand. I have what it takes. I am determined enough, 127 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 4: I'm strong enough. I'm bold enough. I am well able now. 128 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 4: An architect doesn't wait till the pressure comes to see 129 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 4: what kind of beams to put in. He doesn't wait 130 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 4: till the middle of the storm to check the force 131 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 4: of the winds to see how much resistance to decide 132 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 4: what kind of structure to build. It's all calculated ahead 133 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 4: of time. It's designed before one concrete truck shows up, 134 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 4: before one hammer is lifted. The specs are studied, calculated, 135 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 4: and approved before construction ever begins. In the same way, 136 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 4: before you were formed in your mother's womb, your specs 137 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 4: were carefully designed. Everything was strategically and precisely put in 138 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,239 Speaker 4: you for what you're going to need when you face 139 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 4: big challenges. That means you have big beams, you have 140 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 4: strong infrastructure. You don't really know what's in you until 141 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 4: you get some weight on you. You don't know what 142 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 4: you can handle until the pressure comes. And when something 143 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 4: happens that we've never faced, a loss, a disappointment, a 144 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 4: set back. It's easy to think I can't handle this, 145 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 4: it's going to sink me. The truth is you wouldn't 146 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 4: be facing it unless you could handle it. If it 147 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 4: was too much to bear, God wouldn't have allowed it. 148 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 4: The very fact that it happened is a sign that 149 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 4: you are well able. Now. You may have never put 150 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 4: that kind of pressure on your beams, the glass walls 151 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 4: of your building, so to speak, may have never experienced 152 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 4: winds so strong. That's why you're tempted to feel overwhelmed. 153 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 4: You don't realize the structure has been desired for. That 154 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 4: pressure wasn't a surprise to your architect. He knew ahead 155 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 4: of time. That's why he made the glass so strong. 156 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 4: He took into account wins that you never knew you 157 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 4: would encounter. Nothing you face will cause you to collapse. 158 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 4: You've been designed to withstand. Now you can collapse in 159 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 4: your mind, in your thinking. You can give in and think, 160 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 4: oh this is too much. I'm overwhelmed. I can't handle it. 161 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: That's why the scripture tells us, don't faint in your mind. 162 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 4: Your structure is strong enough. Now get your mind strong enough. 163 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 4: Quit telling yourself it's too big. It's been this way 164 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 4: too long. I can't take it anymore. You are well able. 165 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 4: No weapon formed against you is going to prosper. That 166 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 4: difficulty didn't come to stay, It came to pass. But 167 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 4: to say we can't handle it. It's to say, when 168 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 4: God designed me, he miscalculated. He didn't make my foundation 169 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 4: deep enough. He left out a beam. I can't carry 170 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 4: this weight. God doesn't make mistakes. The Psalmas said, you 171 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 4: have been fearfully and wonderfully made. It's not just talking 172 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 4: about the outside, our looks, our size, our talents. That's 173 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 4: talking about your specs as well your infrastructure. How God 174 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 4: designed things that you can't see, how he planned ahead 175 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 4: of time for challenges and obstacles. Things you would think 176 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 4: would cause you to collapse, but out of nowhere, strength 177 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 4: rises up. A courage comes, a faith to overcome, a 178 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 4: determination to stand strong and outlast the opposition. When we 179 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 4: acquired this building, it didn't have any rooms for children's 180 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 4: and youth facilities. It's a big sports arena. We needed 181 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 4: some classrooms, so we built a five story building on 182 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 4: the end that connects through the lobbies. It's our family 183 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 4: life center. We told the architects, one day, we're going 184 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 4: to want to add five more stories. We're going to 185 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 4: need to expand, so they designed the foundation, the peers, 186 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 4: the underground to accommodate ten stories. But when you see 187 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 4: the building, what you see as a five story building. 188 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 4: Unless you have the plans, Unless you have the specs, 189 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 4: you don't realize it's designed for ten stories. People driving 190 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 4: down the freeway think the building's finished, it's peaked, that's 191 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 4: as tall as it will ever be. They don't know 192 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 4: what's underground. What enables it to go higher is the 193 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 4: weight that the beams can handle, the thickness of the foundation. 194 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 4: In the same way, you may think you've reached your limits, 195 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 4: you've been at that same level a long time. Can 196 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 4: I encourage you? You have more floors in you. You've 197 00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 4: handled this much pressure. Fine, You've gotten comfortable carrying this much. 198 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 4: It's no problem. But if you could look at your specs, 199 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 4: if you could see the plans God has for you, 200 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 4: you would notice your beams are much bigger than what 201 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 4: you're carrying right now. You could think God over designs you. 202 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 4: He put things in you that you don't need. No, 203 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,359 Speaker 4: He's coming. God has new levels, and with that increase 204 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 4: comes more weight. You're going to have more pressure. Now. 205 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 4: I don't mean pressure in a bad sense. This is 206 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 4: pressure that makes you stretch, makes you grow, makes you 207 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 4: release your faith, believe bigger, and take on new challenges, 208 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 4: not just difficulties. But positive pressure, where you discover you 209 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 4: can handle things that you never thought you could handle. 210 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 4: For seventeen years, I work behind the scenes here at 211 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 4: Lakewood during the television production. In nineteen ninety nine, when 212 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 4: my father went to be with the Lord, I knew 213 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 4: I was supposed to step up and pastor the church, 214 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 4: but I didn't know how it was going to work out. 215 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 4: I had never faced that much pressure, not only having 216 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 4: to get up in front of people, thoughts telling me 217 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 4: I wasn't qualified, nobody was going to listen, but losing 218 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 4: my father was very traumatic. I had worked with him 219 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 4: every day for years. We had traveled the world together, 220 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 4: and now he was gone. I should have been overwhelmed. 221 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 4: The pressure should have caused me to shrink back and 222 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 4: be discouraged. But in the midst of that turmoil, I 223 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 4: felt a strength that I had never felt, A determination, 224 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 4: a resilience, a confidence that didn't make sense to my mind. 225 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 4: When I stepped up to minister. Yes, I was nervous, 226 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 4: I was afraid, but down deep, I believed I could 227 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 4: do it. I believed I had what it tanks. There 228 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 4: was a boldness that I had never experienced. I realize 229 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 4: now that wasn't just me being strong. I had been 230 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 4: designed for this. I was designed to withstand the pressure. 231 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 4: I was designed to overcome the loss. I discovered My 232 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 4: beams were big enough, my foundation was strong enough that 233 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 4: this didn't catch God off guard. What am I saying? 234 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 4: You've been designed for everything you're going to face. When 235 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 4: you come into things that seem too hard, too big, 236 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 4: too unfair, things that should cause you to collapse, don't worry. 237 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 4: God knew they were coming. He already made your beams 238 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 4: big enough. You will be able to bear it. Now. 239 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 4: It may be uncomfortable, you may have to stretch, but 240 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 4: that pressure is not going to stop you. You're going 241 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 4: to discover ability that you didn't know you had. Even now. 242 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 4: I have some opposition, people that don't understand me, but 243 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 4: that no more bothers me. I never pay any attention 244 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 4: to it. For some people, that would cause them to 245 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 4: be negative, bitter, spiteful, But God's given me the grace 246 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 4: to handle it. The pressure that would cause some people 247 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 4: to collapse doesn't affect me. Whatever is in your future, 248 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 4: you have the grace to handle it. Nothing you face 249 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 4: will be beyond what you've been designed for. But if 250 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 4: you would have told me back in my twenties, when 251 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 4: I was behind the scenes, that one day I would 252 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 4: be up here in front of you every week and 253 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 4: have to have something to say, and we would own 254 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 4: the Compact Center, and I'd be responsible to raise the funds. 255 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 4: I'd say, there's no way I can't carry that much weight. 256 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 4: It's because I couldn't see the infrastructure. I'd never been 257 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 4: put under that kind of pressure. But when it comes 258 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 4: like with me, you'll discover your beams or in place. 259 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 4: Your foundation is strong enough, your steel is big enough. 260 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 4: Key is don't lose the battle in your mind. Your 261 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 4: mind will tell you your five stories when you're designed 262 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 4: for ten stories. Your mind will say it's too much. 263 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 4: Shrink back, it's not fair, it's never going to work out. 264 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 4: I might believe you if your architect live down the street, 265 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 4: you might convince me. If your architect work for a 266 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 4: firm downtown, he could make a mistake. But can I 267 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 4: remind you your architect is the god who spoke worlds 268 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 4: into existence. He doesn't miscalculate. You will never face a 269 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 4: situation that you're not designed for. You will never face 270 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 4: pressure that has to cause you to collapse. A problem 271 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 4: that's too big, a dream where you can't carry the weight. 272 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 4: And when I look back over my life at the 273 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 4: critical points where I could have been overwhelmed, my mom 274 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 4: being diagnosed with terminal cancer, the death of my father, 275 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 4: the lawsuit with the Compact Center, every time it was uncomfortable, 276 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,959 Speaker 4: I could have been discouraged and given up. But I 277 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 4: discovered not that the pressure went away, but that I 278 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,719 Speaker 4: could handle more pressure. I discovered I was designed to 279 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 4: carry more weight. If you don't face the pressure, you'll 280 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 4: never know who you really are. The higher you go, 281 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 4: the more pressure there will be. The good news is 282 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 4: you have the beams to handle it. At some point 283 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 4: that pressure will subside and you'll see you're stronger than 284 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 4: you think. Some of the things that overwhelmed you ten 285 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 4: years ago you can look back now and say, like me, 286 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 4: it's no big deal. That trouble at work that almost 287 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 4: gave you a nervous breakdown, but you came through it. 288 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 4: Now things like that don't bother you anymore. It's not 289 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 4: so much that God changed the circumstances. It's that God 290 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 4: changed you. He showed you who you really are. You 291 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 4: thought you'd always be at five stories, You better get ready. 292 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 4: There's a skyscraper in you. There are new levels, new 293 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 4: mountains to climb, new giants to conquer, new skills to learn. 294 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 4: With the new comes more opposition, more weight, more pressure. 295 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 4: Don't let it overwhelm you. Let it inspire you. That 296 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 4: means God's about to add another floor. He's about to 297 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 4: take you higher. Well, Joel, I didn't have a good childhood. 298 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 4: Nobody was there to encourage me to cheer me on. 299 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 4: That wasn't fair. But you have the beams to handle it. 300 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 4: You have the infrastructure to rise above it. That didn't 301 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 4: stop your future. Well, I came down with this illness. 302 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 4: That's why I'm overwhelmed. Isaiah said, take hold of God's strength. 303 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 4: It will be overwhelming if you don't remind yourself that 304 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 4: it's not a surprise to God. He wouldn't have allowed 305 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 4: it if you couldn't bear it. Since he did allow it, 306 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 4: that means you are well able now all through the day. 307 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 4: You need to take hold of his strength. Father, Thank 308 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 4: you that I am strong in the Lord. Thank you 309 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 4: that you are fighting my battles. Thank you that you 310 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 4: being for me is more than the world being against me. 311 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 4: The apostle Paul faced all kinds of unfair situations. Three times, 312 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 4: he was beaten with rods, he was put in prison 313 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 4: without a trial, He was shipwrecked, spent the night on 314 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 4: the open sea, bitten by a poisonous snake. He could 315 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 4: have collapsed under all the pressure, lived overwhelmed. Yet he's 316 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 4: the one that said, thanks be to God, who always 317 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 4: causes us a trial. He knew God won't let us 318 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 4: face things that we can't handle. If you'll stay in faith, 319 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 4: you'll discover, like Paul, you've been designed to withstand the 320 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 4: pressure that the enemy didn't somehow come up with the 321 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 4: scheme to outwit the God who created you. He can't 322 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 4: send a storm so powerful to knock your walls down. 323 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 4: He can't put so much weight on you that your 324 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 4: beams can't hold up. Paul said, we are pressed on 325 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 4: every side, but we are not crushed. He was saying, 326 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 4: in effect, we've been designed to withstand the difficulty. Our 327 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 4: architect took into account all the trouble, the wind, the 328 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 4: bad break, and he's put in you the courage, the stamina, 329 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 4: the endurance to withstand. As a young man, David was 330 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 4: anointed to be the next king of Israel, but he 331 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 4: didn't go to the palace. He went back to the 332 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 4: shepherd's fields and took care of his father's sheep for years. 333 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 4: I'm sure thoughts told him, David, you're never going to 334 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 4: be the king. You're stuck out here. Nobody pays attention 335 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 4: to you. He could have been discouraged, but he kept 336 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 4: doing the right thing. He eventually defeated Goliath. He went 337 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 4: to the palace to serve King Saul. David was good 338 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 4: to Saul, faithful, loyal, but Saul was jealous of David. 339 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 4: He could see the favor on his life, and while 340 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 4: David was playing the heart for Saul, trying to make 341 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 4: him feel better, out of nowhere, Saul threw a spear 342 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 4: across the room, barely missed David. He had to take off, 343 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 4: running for his life. He spent months in the desert, 344 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 4: hiding in caves, living on the run, with Saul constantly 345 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 4: on his trail. David thought it was difficult those years 346 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 4: in the lonely shepherd's fields, but he had never faced 347 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 4: this kind of pressure, the king trying to kill him. 348 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 4: He could have been overwhelmed, given up, faded into the sunset, 349 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 4: but David understood this principle. His attitude was I've been 350 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 4: designed to overcome this injustice. I know God wouldn't have 351 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 4: allowed it if I couldn't handle it. On the way 352 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 4: to your destiny, there will be opposition, things that are 353 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 4: not fair, people that should be for you but turn 354 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 4: against you. You have to remind yourself you've been designed 355 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 4: for it. You're not going to collapse under that weight. 356 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 4: Your beams are big enough. You don't have to live bitter. 357 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 4: You don't have to get revenge. You can forgive, you 358 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 4: can stay on the high road. May not have been fair, 359 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 4: but like with David, you've been designed to overcome the injustice. 360 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 4: You've been designed to outlast the opposition. If David would 361 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 4: have complained about the shepherd's fields, let King Saul overwhelm him, 362 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 4: we wouldn't be talking about him. He knew God would 363 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 4: never let him face more than he could bear. He 364 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 4: didn't like it. It was uncomfortable, but he didn't let 365 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,959 Speaker 4: the pressure cause him to lose focus and miss his destiny. 366 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 4: We all have these times where we can be overwhelmed. 367 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 4: But the reason you have big opposition is because you 368 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 4: have a big destiny. The good news is God took 369 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 4: that all into account when he designed your infrastructure. He 370 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 4: didn't give you a big future with weak walls, little beings, 371 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 4: small foundation. You are stronger than you think. You have 372 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 4: more stamina, more endurance, more grace, more forgiveness. Those challenges 373 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 4: are a sign that new floors are coming. God is 374 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 4: about to take you higher, to show you new levels 375 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 4: of increase in favor. Now, don't complain about the difficulties. 376 00:23:54,840 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 4: That's when you discover what's in you. David discovered courage, perseverance, 377 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 4: faith like he had never seen. If you'll keep the 378 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 4: right attitude that pressure, instead of breaking you, it will 379 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 4: develop you. You'll grow and mature so you can take 380 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 4: your throne. Now. You may be in a time of testing. 381 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 4: Now you feel like the weight is too much to bear. 382 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 4: People at work aren't treating you right. That situation with 383 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 4: your child has you overwhelmed. Have a new perspective. God 384 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 4: is saying you've been designed to withstand. Now you have 385 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 4: to do your part and take hold of His strength. 386 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 4: Instead of thinking all day about how difficult it is. 387 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 4: Turn it around. I can do all things through Christ. 388 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 4: I've been armed with strength for this battle. I may 389 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 4: walk through the valley of the shadow of death, but 390 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 4: I know a secret I'm not staying here. This valley 391 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 4: is not my home. I'm coming out better, stronger, victorious, 392 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 4: into new levels of my destiny. A friend of mine 393 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 4: came to see this building a few years ago. He's 394 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 4: an engineer. I took him through the lobbies and into 395 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 4: the auditorium. I brought him here on the platform, showed 396 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 4: him the lights, the sound system, the screens, the things 397 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 4: that are impressive to me. He liked it. But then 398 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 4: he asked me something that no one has ever asked. 399 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 4: He said, can I see the mechanical rooms? I said 400 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 4: to what he said? The mechanical areas, the power plant, 401 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 4: the heating and cooling system, the chilled water pipes. I 402 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 4: didn't even know where they were. I had to get 403 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 4: my brother in law, Keaven. He took us to areas 404 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 4: of this building that I've never seen, huge rooms filled 405 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 4: with equipment, generators, pumps, electrical panels. He showed us big 406 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 4: beams that allowed this building to spend over one hundred 407 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 4: yards without a column. My friend couldn't believe it. He 408 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 4: stood there in awe. Well. I left that day with 409 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 4: the new appreciation for this building. It has all kinds 410 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 4: of things behind the seams. Things we can't see design 411 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 4: and infrastructure that make what we can see so amazing. 412 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 4: In the same way, God has put incredible things in 413 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 4: you that you can't see. You have beams that can 414 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 4: take you much further than you are right now. You 415 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 4: have infrastructure to take you to higher levels, to add 416 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 4: new floors. God didn't design you to reach a certain 417 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 4: level and stay there. You may be at five stories. 418 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 4: Now you're blessed. God's been good to you. What you 419 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 4: can't see is you have a ten story foundation. Where 420 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 4: you are is not your final destination. He not only 421 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 4: designed you to increase, but to withstand the storms. As 422 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 4: you take new ground, there will be new obstacles, the 423 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 4: greater the up tunity, the greater the opposition. In religious terms, 424 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 4: new levels, new devils. What whatever you face, remind yourself 425 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 4: you can handle it, not necessarily because you're so great, 426 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 4: but because your architect, the most High, God, has designed 427 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 4: you with everything that you need. You will never face 428 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 4: a situation that you cannot bear. Now when you're tempted 429 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 4: to think, I'm overwhelmed, I can't handle this. If you 430 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 4: could only see your mechanical room, if you only knew 431 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 4: what God put in you, you would realize you can't 432 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 4: handle it. You've been designed to withstand. I believe and 433 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 4: declare strength is coming into you in a new way. 434 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 4: Courage is rising up. You will withstand every storm, outlast 435 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 4: every attack, overcome every obstacle, and become everything God's created 436 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 4: you to be in Jesus' name. And if you receive it, 437 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 4: can you say em in today? I'd like to give 438 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 4: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 439 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 4: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll 440 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 4: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make 441 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 4: you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, 442 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 4: we believe you got born again. Get in a good 443 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 4: Bible based church, and keep God first place. Hi, this 444 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 4: is Joel and Victoria.
