Speaker 5: much for tuning in, and thank you again for coming

45
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 5: out today. And I like to start with something funny

46
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 5: and I heard about this cat and mouse that died

47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 5: on the same day and.

48
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 4: Went to heaven. After a few weeks.

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 5: Saint Peter saw the mouse and ask him how he

50
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 5: liked it. He said, Oh, it's great, but it's so big.

51
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 5: I would love to get some roller skates. Peter said,

52
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 5: no problem, got him some roller skates. A few weeks later,

53
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 5: Peter saw the cat and ask him how he liked it.

54
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 5: He said, Oh, it's fantastic. And just when I thought

55
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 5: it couldn't get any better, I discovered the meals on wheels.

56
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 4: Hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it.

57
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 5: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

58
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do

59
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be

60
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess it is alert,

61
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 5: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same.

62
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 5: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk

63
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 5: to you today about dropped but not forgotten. We all

64
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 5: go through situations where life is not fair. I met

65
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 5: a man last week. He had just been laid off

66
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 5: after twenty five years with the same company. He felt betrayed, alone, forgotten,

67
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 5: like he'd been dropped.

68
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: A friend of mine.

69
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 5: His father was killed in an accident when he was

70
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 5: two years old. Now, all through school, he used to think,

71
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 5: why does everybody else have a dad.

72
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: But I don't.

73
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 5: There was an emptiness on the inside, dropped as a

74
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 5: little boy. Sometimes other people's poor choices have a negative

75
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 5: effect on us. Maybe you were raised in an unhealthy environment.

76
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 5: Now you're still struggling with the same addictions, same depression,

77
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 5: same anger. It keeps getting passed down. Some people have

78
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 5: been mistreated taking advantage. Now they have to deal with guilt, shame,

79
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 5: feeling like they don't measure up. It wasn't even their fault.

80
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 5: Somebody else dropped them. I've learned you can't live very

81
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 5: long without being dropped. Dropped by an illness, drop by divorce,

82
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 5: drop by a friend that turns on you. It's easy

83
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 5: to get discouraged and think, man, this is my lot

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 5: in life.

85
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: It's never going to change.

86
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: Now.

87
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 5: You may have been dropped, but the good news is

88
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 5: God knows how to pick you back up. David said,

89
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 5: God lifted me out of the pit and set my

90
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 5: feet up on a rock. David had been dropped by rejection,

91
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 5: dropped by people coming against him drop by his own

92
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 5: mistakes and failures. But God said, in effect, David, don't worry.

93
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 5: That drop is not the end. That bad break, that

94
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 5: person that hurts you, that addiction, that sickness is not

95
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 5: the end.

96
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 4: Of your story.

97
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 5: You may have been dropped, but you need to get

98
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 5: ready God. God is about to lift you. He's about

99
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 5: to set you on a higher place. He's going to

100
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 5: take you where you could not go on your own,

101
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 5: to a new level, with new opportunities, new friendships, new joy,

102
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 5: new health, new fulfillment. You're not going to come out

103
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 5: the same way. The scripture talks about how God will

104
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 5: pay us back double for the unfair things that have

105
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 5: happened when you go through a disappointment, when you get.

106
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: Dropped, don't get bitter, don't get discouraged.

107
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 5: Get ready for double, Get ready for increase, Get ready

108
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 5: for favor, Get ready for new levels.

109
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 4: Friends, God has not forgotten about you.

110
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 5: He has seen every tear you've shed, every hurt, every

111
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 5: lonely night, every person that's done you wrong.

112
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 4: God is a god of justice.

113
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 5: He told the Israelites when they were in slavery, being mistreated,

114
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 5: taken advantage of I am coming down to deliver you.

115
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 5: He was saying, I'm coming down to pick you back up.

116
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 5: I'm coming down to bring justice. Notice what causes God

117
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 5: to get off the throne. What causes the creator of

118
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 5: the universe to stop what he's doing and take action.

119
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: It's when he sees you being mistreated.

120
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 5: When God sees that injustice, he doesn't sit back and say, well,

121
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 5: too bad. No, he says, that's my son, that's my daughter,

122
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 5: my most prized possession.

123
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: They've been dropped.

124
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 5: Now I got to get up and do something about it.

125
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 5: When God goes to work, all the forces of darkness

126
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 5: cannot stop him. People can't stop him. Bad breaks can't

127
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 5: stop him. Sickness can't stop him. God will make your

128
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 5: wrongs right. He'll pay you back for the trouble. He'll

129
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 5: get you to where you're supposed to be. But the

130
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 5: truth is we all get dropped in life, and it's

131
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 5: easy to feel alone, forgotten, like you don't matter. But

132
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 5: don't believe those lies. God said in Isaiah, I will

133
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 5: not forget you. Have carved you into the palm of

134
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 5: my hand. Every time God opens his hand he sees

135
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 5: your name. He's reminded of you. You may have had

136
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 5: some bad.

137
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 4: Breaks some closed doors.

138
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 5: Some people come against you. But God has not forgotten

139
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 5: about your dreams. He has not forgotten about the promises

140
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 5: that He's given you. He didn't forget about that baby

141
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 5: you want to have, that husband or wife you've been

142
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 5: praying about, that wholeness, that healing, that freedom that you need.

143
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 4: Stay in faith. Life happens to all of us.

144
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 5: You may get dropped, but remember it's only temporary.

145
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: God sees it. He's not only going to lift you

146
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 4: back up, but he's going.

147
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 5: To set you on a higher place. You're going to

148
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 5: come out better off than you were before. This is

149
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 5: what happened to a young man in the scripture named

150
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 5: maphibis Chef. He was the grandson of King Saul and

151
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 5: the son of Jonathan. He was born into royalty, destined

152
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 5: to one day take the throne. His future was very bright,

153
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 5: and as a child, he was being raised by loving nurses,

154
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 5: people that treated him with great kindness, made sure to

155
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 5: meet his every need.

156
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 4: They knew they were dealing with the future king.

157
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 5: But when he was five years old, his father and

158
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 5: his grandfather, King Saul, were both killed in a battle.

159
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: News messengers rushed.

160
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 5: To Maphibischef's house to tell them the terrible news and

161
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 5: to inform them that the army was on their way

162
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 5: to try to wipe out all of King Saul's relatives.

163
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 5: A nurse picked up little Mamphibis Chef in a great panic,

164
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 5: took off running out of the house as fast as

165
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 5: she could. She was trying to save his life. She

166
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 5: had good intentions trying to help the young boy, but

167
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 5: on the way down the stairs, she tripped and dropped

168
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 5: Maphibi Chef. Both of his legs were broken. He became

169
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 5: quick and could never walk again. Here Maphibis Chef had

170
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 5: not done anything wrong, wasn't his fault. Yet he's having

171
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 5: to pay the price for somebody else's mistake.

172
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 4: Doesn't seem fair.

173
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 5: Sometimes in life, well meaning people can drop you. They

174
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 5: didn't mean to hurt you. They made a mistake and

175
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 5: said some things that they shouldn't have, or they worked

176
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 5: all the time struggling to make ends meet.

177
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 4: They weren't there when you really needed them.

178
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 5: Perhaps they had bad habits addictions passed down to them

179
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 5: now they're passing them on down to you. They weren't

180
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 5: bad people, they had our best interest at heart. But

181
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 5: like this nurse, they dropped us we can become crippled

182
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 5: with low self esteem, crippled with addictions, crippled with depression.

183
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 5: Even though ma phibis Chef was the grandson of the king,

184
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 5: even though he had royalty in his blood, he ended

185
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 5: up living in a place called loada bar that was

186
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 5: one of the the poorest, most run down cities of

187
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 5: that day. Year after year went by. I'm sure he

188
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 5: thought nobody remembers me. I used to be somebody important,

189
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 5: somebody that was respected.

190
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 4: I used to be excited about my future. I had

191
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 4: big dreams. But look at me.

192
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 5: Now, I'm a crippled I can't even walk. I'm living

193
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 5: in the slums. Nobody cares about me. I don't have

194
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 5: any friends. And it wasn't even my fault. Somebody else

195
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 5: dropped me. He felt alone, forgotten, like it would never change.

196
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 4: But here's the beauty. Nothing goes unnoticed with our God.

197
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 5: God saw his father killed and taken away at a

198
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,119
Speaker 5: young age. God saw the well meaning nurse drop him.

199
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 5: God saw his once normal legs that could run and

200
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 5: jump and play instantly becoming crippled. God saw the despair,

201
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 5: the poverty, the lack that he was living in. God

202
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 5: didn't say, well, the phibis chef, you sure got some

203
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 5: bad breaks. You need to find you a more surefooted

204
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 5: nurse next time. She really messed your life up. Now,

205
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 5: God said, my phibis Chef, I have not forgotten about you.

206
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 5: I've got you carved into the palm of my hand.

207
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 5: You're always on my mind. And yes you may have

208
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 5: been dropped, but that bad break is not the end.

209
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 5: I am a god of justice. I am going to

210
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 5: pay you back for what has happened. One day, King

211
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 5: David was on the throne of Israel, sitting in the palace,

212
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 5: minding his own business, when all of a sudden, he

213
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 5: felt this desire to be good to some of Saul's relatives.

214
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 5: Now this is unusual because Saul was the one that

215
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 5: tried to kill David. He was the one that chased

216
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 5: David through the wilderness and made his life miserable. Yet

217
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 5: David said, in Second Samuel nine, is there anyone left

218
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 5: from the house of Saul that I might show too?

219
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 5: Why would David want to be kind of one of

220
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 5: his enemies? That was God whispering in David's ear, giving

221
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 5: him a desire to be good to someone that had

222
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 5: been dropped. God can make things happen that you could

223
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 5: never make happen on your own. You may say, Joe,

224
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 5: I'm stuck. I've had these bad breaks. I'll never accomplish

225
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 5: my dreams, never get out of this mess, never be fulfilled. No,

226
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 5: you need to get ready. Your time is coming. God

227
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 5: is about to whisper in. Somebody's ear to be good

228
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 5: to you. You didn't deserve it, you couldn't earn it.

229
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 5: But for no reason, somebody gives you a good break.

230
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 5: Somebody offers you the job, Somebody gives you the contract.

231
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 5: Somebody steps up and solves the problem for you. Don't

232
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 5: get discouraged. Justice is coming, Restoration is coming, New beginnings

233
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 5: are on their way. When David asked if any of

234
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 5: Saul's relatives were alive, one of his assistants said, we've

235
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 5: searched and searched. There's only one grandson left. It's the

236
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 5: son of Jonathan. His name is Maphibis Chef. But he's crippled.

237
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 5: He can't even walk. David, no use wasting your time

238
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 5: with him. He's never going to amount to anything. They

239
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 5: tried to talk David out of it. David said, no,

240
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 5: you go find him right now and bring him to

241
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 5: the palace. Well, Maphibis Chef was living in hiding in exile,

242
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 5: hoping that nobody knew that he was related to King Saul.

243
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 5: After all, Sau had not treated David right. Imagine what

244
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 5: the people thought when they saw these officials from the

245
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 5: palace wearing their royal uniforms, show up in Lodo Bar

246
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 5: and start searching through the slums for this crippled man

247
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 5: named Maphibis Chef. The whole city was stirring, buzzing with excitement.

248
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 5: Word finally reached maphiba Chef that people were there from

249
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 5: the palace. He asked, what in the world are they

250
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 5: doing here in Lodo Bar of all places. They said,

251
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 5: Maphibis Chef, they're looking for you. His heart skipped a beat.

252
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 4: He thought, ah, man, my luck is run out. They

253
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 4: finally found me. They're gonna get rid of me.

254
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 5: The officials came bursting in, said, Maphibis Chef, get up

255
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 5: and come with us. You're being summoned by the king.

256
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 5: The problem is, Maphibischeff couldn't walk. They had to carry

257
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 5: him to the palace. They traveled hour after hour, finally

258
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 5: arrived and told King David that he was there. David

259
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 5: went out to meet Maphibais Chef. He was expecting to

260
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 5: see someone that looked like King Saul, his grandfather. Saul

261
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 5: stood head and shoulders above the rest. Saul looked like

262
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 5: a king. He had a presence that commanded respect. Saul

263
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 5: walked like he was royalty. Here's his grandson. Now, David

264
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 5: is expecting some kind of resemblance. But when David opens

265
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 5: the door and sees Maphibius Chef on the ground, frail,

266
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 5: emaciated legs, shriveled up, hair not combed, closed, dirty, David

267
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 5: said to his assistant, are you sure this is the

268
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 5: grandson of the king. Are you sure this man is royalty?

269
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 5: They said, yes, Sir, we are certain. David looks at him,

270
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 5: says mamphibis Chef. What happened to you? Maphibus Chef wouldn't

271
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 5: look at David. He was too insecure, too afraid, too embarrassed,

272
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 5: he said, King David. When I was five years old

273
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 5: and my father and grandfather were killed, somebody dropped me

274
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 5: and my life has never been the same. That could

275
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 5: have been the end of the story. David thought, well,

276
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 5: too bad for you. You should have seen how your

277
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 5: grandfather treated me. I don't feel sorry for you.

278
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 4: One bit. You're getting what you're family deserved.

279
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 5: Maphibas Chef is there on the ground, afraid, trembling, thinking

280
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 5: that it's the end. David smiles and says, Mapibis Chef,

281
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 5: don't worry. I'm not going to harm you. I'm going

282
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 5: to be good to you from now on. You're not

283
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 5: going to live in Lodo Bar. You're going to live

284
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 5: in the palace with me. Now, I'm going to give

285
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 5: you all the land that belonged to your grandfather, King Saul.

286
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 5: You're not going to go out and have to work

287
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 5: it and farm the land. I'm going to give you

288
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 5: a full staff to farm the land for you and

289
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 5: give you the profits. They'll do all the work and

290
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 5: you'll reap all the benefits. Last thing, Maphibis Chef, every

291
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 5: night you will always sit at my table and have

292
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 5: dinner with me, not with my staff, not with my

293
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 5: military leaders.

294
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 4: Now you have a permanent seat at the King's table.

295
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 5: Maybe today, like Malphibis Chef, you feel like you've been dropped,

296
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 5: had a bad break, a loss, weren't treated right. Be

297
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 5: easy to settle there, be discouraged, not expect anything good,

298
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 5: nor you need to get ready. You're about to be

299
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 5: summoned to the palace. God is about to pay you back.

300
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 5: Not just what should have been yours. God is going

301
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 5: to give you what belonged to your forefathers. It's going

302
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 5: to be far and beyond favor. You didn't have to

303
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 5: work for it. It's just the goodness of God paying

304
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 5: you back, bringing justice. You may not see how it

305
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 5: can happen, but God has the right people he can

306
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 5: speak to about you. He's softening the right hearts. God's

307
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 5: going to pay you back for an unfair childhood. Pay

308
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 5: you back for the person that did you wrong. Pay

309
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 5: you back for that baby you couldn't have. Don't sit

310
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 5: around in self pity. There's a seat at the King's

311
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 5: table waiting for you. God has already prepared it. It

312
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 5: has your name on it. It's a seat of favor,

313
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 5: a seat of healing, a seat of restor, a seat

314
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 5: of increase.

315
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 4: Friends, you have royal blood in your veins. The Most

316
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 4: High God breathed his life into you. He has destined

317
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 4: you to live in the palace.

318
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 5: That means a place of blessing, a place of wholeness,

319
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 5: a place of honor, a place of victory.

320
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 4: Now, don't settle for Lodo Bar.

321
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 5: Don't get comfortable surviving enduring barely getting by well, Joel,

322
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 5: I've had a lot of bad breaks. My life hasn't

323
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 5: turned out the way I thought. That may be true,

324
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 5: but that didn't change who you are. You're still royalty,

325
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,479
Speaker 5: you still have that crown of favor, you still have

326
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 5: the Dna of Almighty God.

327
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 4: Get this down in your spirit. It's payback time.

328
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 5: People may have tried to push you down, but God's

329
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 5: about to push you back up. Circumstances may have dropped you,

330
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 5: but God is.

331
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 4: Called the glory and the lifter of our head.

332
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 5: There's about to be some lifting, some things that you

333
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 5: could not make happen, the favor of God opening up

334
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 5: new doors, causing people to be good to you, paying

335
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 5: your back for that injustice. What's interesting is Maphibis Chef

336
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 5: never did get healed. He continued to be a cripple

337
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 5: the rest of his life. And it could have seemed

338
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 5: like this story doesn't have.

339
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 4: A good ending.

340
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 5: But I've learned that if God doesn't remove the difficulty,

341
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 5: if he doesn't totally turn it around, God will make.

342
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 4: It up to you.

343
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 5: You may have lost a loved one. You can't bring

344
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 5: that person back. But God can make the rest of

345
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 5: your life so rewarding, so fulfilling, that it will help

346
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 5: take away that pain. Or perhaps somebody walked out of

347
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 5: a relationship, broke your heart, did you wrong. God can

348
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 5: bring somebody new into your life that is so loving,

349
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 5: so kind, so good looking, so well off you don't

350
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 5: even miss that old goat that left you.

351
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 4: I mean that person that God knows how to pay

352
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 4: you back.

353
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 5: Mamphibis Chef never walked again, but sitting at the King's

354
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 5: table every night, having people wait on him, bring his food,

355
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 5: farm his land, give him the prophets. For some reason,

356
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 5: I don't think he ever complained. All he could say was, Lord,

357
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 5: thank you for remembering me, Thank you for your favor,

358
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 5: thank you for your mercy. When God overwhelms you with

359
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 5: his goodness, when he brings you out with double you

360
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 5: won't complain about who hurts you and what didn't work

361
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 5: out and how unfair it was. You'll be so amazed

362
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 5: that God remembered you and promoted you.

363
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 4: And had people to carry you.

364
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 5: Would you couldn't go on your own Like Mamphibi Chef,

365
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 5: all you'll.

366
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 4: Be able to do is thank God for his goodness.

367
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 4: In your life.

368
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 5: My sister Lisa, her husband Kevin. They tried for many

369
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 5: years to have a baby with no success, and Lisa

370
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 5: went through all the fertility treatments, had a couple surgeries

371
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 5: even but still no baby. Finally, the doctors told her

372
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 5: that she would never be able to have a child.

373
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 5: Other people have had that same negative report, but against

374
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 5: all odds, they've had a baby. Anyway, We've all seen

375
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 5: God make a way where there was no way, but

376
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 5: for Lisa and Kevin it didn't happen. Lisa could have

377
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 5: felt like she had been dropped infertility, but God is

378
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 5: a god of justice, like Maphibaschev. If it doesn't turn

379
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 5: out your way, God will make it up to you.

380
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 5: One day, out of the blue, Lisa received a phone

381
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 5: call from a lady we know in another state that

382
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 5: runs a ministry that helps teenage girls. This lady said,

383
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 5: Lisa and Kevin, I've got a young lady about.

384
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: To give birth to twins.

385
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 5: Something told me that I should call you to see

386
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 5: if you would be interested in adopting these babies. When

387
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 5: Lisa and Kevin heard that, something leaped on the inside.

388
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 5: They knew those babies were supposed to be theirs. They

389
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 5: ended up adopting them. A few years later adopted a

390
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 5: baby boy. Today they have three amazing teenage children as

391
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 5: happy as convenient. Lisa said, here's how good God is.

392
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 5: I have three children and I never had to get

393
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 5: pregnant one time.

394
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 4: God will make it up to you.

395
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 5: The phibis chef was summoned to the palace, but he

396
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 5: couldn't get there on his own. He had to be

397
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 5: carried to the palace each night at dinner, he couldn't

398
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 5: get to his seat by himself.

399
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 4: He had to be carried to his seat.

400
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 5: You may think, Joel, I'm never gonna accomplish my dreams.

401
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 4: I'm crippled.

402
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 5: I've got this sickness, this addiction, this depression that I'm

403
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 5: dealing with. No, when you can't get there on your own,

404
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 5: God will always have somebody there to carry you.

405
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: You're not alone, you're not forgotten. God has you in

406
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 4: the palm of his hand.

407
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 5: And God is not looking down at you because you're

408
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 5: still crippled, so to speak. You're still struggling with some issues.

409
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 5: God saw the times you've been dropped. You didn't go

410
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 5: down by yourself, and you're not going to come up

411
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 5: by yourself.

412
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 4: God has already lined.

413
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 5: Up the right people to carry you, to encourage you,

414
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 5: to help you do what you.

415
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 4: Could not do on your own.

416
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 5: When Jesus was carrying the cross on his way to

417
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 5: be crucified, he was so weak, so exhausted, he fell

418
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 5: down under the weight of the cross. He couldn't carry

419
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 5: it anymore. There was a man named Simon that just

420
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 5: so happened to be there.

421
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 4: He picked up the.

422
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 5: Cross and carried it the rest of the way for Jesus.

423
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 5: The point is, you don't have to be strong all

424
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 5: of the time. Even Jesus fell down under the weight

425
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 5: of the cross.

426
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 4: The good news is there will always.

427
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 5: Be a Simon there for you, somebody to help you,

428
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 5: somebody to encourage it, to get you to where you're

429
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 5: supposed to be. On the cross, even Jesus felt alone, forgotten.

430
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 5: He was so stressed that he swept great drops of blood.

431
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 5: At one point he cried out, my God, why have

432
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 5: you forsaken me?

433
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 4: He was saying, God, I've been dropped.

434
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 5: It looked like the end, but the enemy never has

435
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 5: the final say God does. Three days later, Jesus was

436
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 5: sitting at the king's table, the victor, not the victimy friends,

437
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 5: God is a god of justice. When you don't have

438
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 5: the strength to move forward on your own, don't worry.

439
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 5: God will have angels to carry you. God is not

440
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 5: going to let you stay in lodobar.

441
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 4: He's going to keep.

442
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 5: Working, moving, restoring, speaking to the right people until he

443
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 5: gets you to your seat at the King's table. Dinner

444
00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 5: is not complete without you there. You may have been dropped,

445
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 5: had bad breaks, you feel broken crippled, But today you're

446
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 5: being summoned to the table.

447
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 4: We need your presence, We need your gifts.

448
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 5: We need your smile, your joy, your laughter, not pushed down,

449
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 5: not half hearted.

450
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 4: No, this is a new day, Isaiah said. God will

451
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 4: give you.

452
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 5: The oil of gladness instead of mourning, a crown of

453
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 5: beauty instead of ashes, a garment of praise instead of

454
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 5: a spirit of heaviness.

455
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 4: There's too much heaviness in our world.

456
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 5: People are letting circumstances and the stress of life push

457
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 5: them down. I believe today as God is breathing new

458
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 5: hope into your heart, the gladness is coming and the

459
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 5: sadness is leaving. The heaviness is going, and joy is

460
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 5: on its way. Your life is going to be filled

461
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 5: with a new laughter. The scripture calls it joy unspeakable,

462
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 5: full of glory. Years ago, there was a young man

463
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 5: in South Korea that was dying from tuberculosis. One lung

464
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 5: had already collapsed. As he lay on his bed at

465
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 5: home waiting to die, he was in so much pain

466
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 5: that he started calling out to his different gods.

467
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 4: One by one. He cried out to this God, please

468
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: come and help me. No answer. He called out to

469
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 4: another God, please want you help me. Still not an answer,

470
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 4: again and again and again.

471
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 5: Finally, in desperation, he said, if there's any God up

472
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 5: there anywhere, I don't ask you to heal me.

473
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 4: I just ask you to show me how to die.

474
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 5: He was alone, felt forgotten, dropped by life threatening illness,

475
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 5: no fault of his own.

476
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 4: You wouldn't think that God would have anything to.

477
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 3: Do with him.

478
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 4: He wasn't a believer. He doesn't come from our same faith.

479
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 5: But the scripture says, call on the name of the Lord,

480
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 5: and he will answer you. It doesn't say call if

481
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 5: you come to church, Call if you know the scripture,

482
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 5: Call if you live the right kind of life. No,

483
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 5: anyone is welcome to call. There's a seat at the

484
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 5: King's table waiting for you. A few hours later, a

485
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 5: young college student walking through his neighborhood felt what she

486
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 5: described as an inexplainable love drawing her to that house.

487
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 4: She went over and knocked on the door. His mother answered.

488
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 5: The young lady said, I know this is odd, you

489
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 5: don't know me, but is there anything.

490
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 4: That I can pray with you about?

491
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 5: His mother began to weep, told how her son was

492
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 5: on his death bed in the back bedroom. The young

493
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 5: lady went back and prayed for her son, and that

494
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 5: day he gave his life to Christ. Long story short,

495
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 5: God healed him. He went on to become doctor David

496
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 5: Jungi Cho, the pastor of the largest church in the

497
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 5: world there in South Korea. Friends, God has not forgotten

498
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 5: about you. You may be dealing with an illness, a loss,

499
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 5: a bad break. You feel like life has dropped you.

500
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 4: You need to get ready.

501
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 5: God is about to lift you back up, not bring

502
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 5: you out the same. He's going to set you on

503
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 5: a higher place, bring you out better off than you

504
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 5: were before. It's payback time. God is about to make

505
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 5: some things up to you. He's already spoken to the

506
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 5: right people to confine you with healing, with encouragement, with blessing.

507
