Speaker 4: Well, God bless you. It's a joy to be with you.

Speaker 5: promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

45
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard

46
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 4: about these three sisters ages ninety six, ninety four ninety

47
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 4: two that lived together one day.

48
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 5: The ninety six year old draws a bath. She puts

49
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 5: one foot in and stops. She hollers, downstairs, I can't

50
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 5: remember if I was getting.

51
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 4: In or getting out. The ninety four year old said,

52
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: this second, I'll come up and help you.

53
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 5: She gets halfway up the stairs and stops. She says,

54
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 5: I can't remember if I was going up or coming down.

55
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 5: The ninety two year old shook her head and said, boy,

56
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 5: I hope I never get that.

57
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 4: Forgetful. She knocked on wood for good luck.

58
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 5: Then she said, hang on, I'll come help both of

59
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 5: you as soon as I see who's at the door. Yeah,

60
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 5: that's going to be none of us. In Jesus' name,

61
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 5: say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

62
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 5: I am what it says. I am. I have what

63
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 5: it says I have. I can do what it says

64
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 5: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

65
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 5: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my

66
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 5: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In

67
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 5: Jesus's name, God bless you. I want to talk to

68
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 5: you today about overcoming weariness. As we go through life,

69
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 5: one challenge we all have to face is with weariness.

70
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 5: It's easy to get tired Weary means to lose your

71
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 5: sense of pleasure, to not feel the enjoyment that you should.

72
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 5: You can be raising great children because you're weary, you're

73
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 5: not enjoying them.

74
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 4: You can have the job of your dreams.

75
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 5: You worked hard to get it, but now weariness has

76
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 5: set in and you're not passionate about it anymore. Sometimes,

77
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 5: because the battle is taken longer than we thought, we

78
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 5: become weary.

79
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 4: Talk to a lady recently. She was in town at M. D.

80
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 5: Anderson, the cancer hospital, hoping that this would be her

81
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 5: last round of treatment.

82
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: She found out she.

83
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 5: Has to take it for six more months. She's very disappointed,

84
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 5: She said, I don't think I can.

85
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: Deal with this anymore.

86
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 5: When the difficulty is last thing longer than expected.

87
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: We're working hard but not seeing increase.

88
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 5: We're believing for the baby, but year after year goes by,

89
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 5: we're still not pregnant.

90
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: Weariness will come.

91
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 5: If the enemy can't take you out all at once,

92
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 5: his next strategy is to try to wear you down.

93
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 5: Many people are suffering from battle fatigue. They've been standing

94
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 5: a long time, trying to break the addiction, believing for

95
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 5: the promotion, praying for that family member, but hasn't happened yet.

96
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: They never dreamed.

97
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 5: They'd still be single, still be dealing with the illness,

98
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 5: still be trying to get the loan. Now they're tired,

99
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 5: Paul said, Inglatians don't get weary in well doing. God

100
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 5: knew weariness would come, or he wouldn't tell us not

101
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 5: to get weary, he said, don't be weary in well doing.

102
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 5: That means you're doing the right thing, but not seeing

103
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 5: right results. Does it seem like it's making a difference.

104
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 5: Let me encourage you. Your time is coming, your due

105
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 5: season is on the way. Don't let time talk you

106
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 5: out of it. Don't let discouragement cause you to give up.

107
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 5: Don't let negative thoughts convince you to settle where you are.

108
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 5: Your mind will give you good excuses, things like I'm

109
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 5: too tired to fight this addiction, I'm too tired to

110
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 5: believe for my marriage, too tired to stretch to the

111
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 5: next level, been doing it so long. If you dwell

112
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 5: on those thoughts, you will allow weariness in. You'll become

113
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 5: more tired, more weary, more discouraged, more negative.

114
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 4: Weariness cannot automatically come.

115
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 5: You have to open the door when thoughts tell you

116
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 5: it's never going to work out, it's been too long.

117
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 5: Just say no thanks. I know my time is coming.

118
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 5: I know God is still on the throne. I am

119
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 5: strong in the Lord. I've been armed with strength for

120
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 5: this battle. The psawmist tells us to take hold of

121
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 5: God's strength.

122
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 4: This is what David did.

123
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 5: He was doing the right thing, but the wrong thing

124
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 5: kept happening to him.

125
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 4: Year after year.

126
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 5: His family looked down on him and treated him like

127
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 5: he was second class.

128
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 4: He could have been sour, upset.

129
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 5: Instead, he kept taking care of his father's sheep, doing

130
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 5: it with a good attitude, being a person of excellence.

131
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: How could he keep standing strong all through the day.

132
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 5: I can hear David under his breath, reminding himself, don't get.

133
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,119
Speaker 4: Weary in well doing.

134
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 5: When he was being good to King Saul, playing the

135
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 5: heart for him, trying to make him feel better, Saul

136
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 5: through a spear and tried to kill David. David could

137
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 5: have been frustrated, thought, God, what's the use I'm doing

138
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 5: the right thing. This man tries to take my life. Instead,

139
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 5: he kept telling himself, David, don't get weary in well doing.

140
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 5: He understood this principle. When you give into weariness, you

141
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 5: lose your strength when you start thinking it's not fair.

142
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 5: It's been so long, it's never going to work out.

143
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 5: The energy you need to move into your destiny is

144
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 5: being drained out. I'm not asking you to never feel weariness.

145
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 4: It will come. I'm asking you to not allow it in.

146
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 5: When you're weary, you won't have the passion, the determination,

147
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 5: the courage to fight the good fight of faith.

148
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 4: Don't let battle fatigue keep you from your victory.

149
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 5: Don't let weariness stop your dream from coming to pass.

150
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: You are closer than you think.

151
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 5: When it's the most difficult, you face the greatest temptation

152
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 5: to settle. That means the victory is near, the promotion,

153
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 5: the healing, the breakthrough is about to show up. See

154
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 5: the prophet Samuel had anointed David to be the next

155
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 5: king when he was a teenager. Thirteen years had gone by,

156
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 5: there was no sign of it happening. One day, David

157
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 5: and six hundred of his men returned from a battle

158
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 5: and found their city had been.

159
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: Attacked and destroyed.

160
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 5: All their possessions were burned, their families were kidnapped. It

161
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 5: was the worst defeat of David's life, his darkest hour.

162
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 5: The scripture says, they wept until they could not weep anymore.

163
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 5: David was depressed, discouraged. I'm sure he was tempted to think, God,

164
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 5: this is the final straw. I've been doing the right

165
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 5: thing for years. I can't take it anymore.

166
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: I'm done.

167
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 5: He could have given up, and that would have been

168
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 5: the end of his story.

169
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 4: He would have never taken the throne.

170
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 5: But when David was tired, when he felt like throwing

171
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 5: in the towel, he did something that we all must do.

172
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 5: He dug his heels in and said, I've come too

173
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 5: far to stop. The scripture says David encouraged himself in

174
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 5: the Lord, his God. He made this decision. I'm not

175
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 5: allowing this weariness in. I'm gonna stir my faith back up.

176
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 5: While the other men were weeping, discouraged, complaining, I can

177
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 5: hear David saying, I'm strong in the Lord, I'm anointed,

178
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 5: I'm well able. The forces that are for me are

179
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 5: greater than the forces that are against me. You can

180
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 5: talk yourself into defeat, or you can talk yourself into victory.

181
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 5: You can talk yourself into weakness, or you can talk

182
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 5: yourself into strength.

183
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: When you speak to yourself, the right way.

184
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 5: Courage comes, determination comes, vision comes. Every time you say

185
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 5: this is too hard, strength is leaving.

186
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: I can't do this anymore. You're getting weaker.

187
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 5: I'm so disappointed. I can't believe this happened. You're inviting

188
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 5: discouragement when you say I am well able, you're inviting strength.

189
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 4: I can do all things through Christ. You're inviting favor.

190
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 5: You may feel tired, but don't verbalize it. Don't give

191
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 5: life to it by speaking it out. The scripture says,

192
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 5: let the weak say I am strong? Does it say

193
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 5: let the weak talk about the weakness. Let the sick

194
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 5: talk about the sickness. Let the disappointed talk about the

195
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 5: bad break.

196
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 4: No, turn it around.

197
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 5: Yes, this is tough, but I am strong in the Lord.

198
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 5: I know God is fighting my battles. He always causes

199
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 5: me to try umph.

200
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 4: That's what it means to take hold of his strength.

201
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 4: Isaiah put it this way.

202
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 5: If you'll wait on the Lord, God will renew your strength.

203
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 5: You will mount up with wings like eagles. You will

204
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 5: run and not be weary, you will walk and not faint. Now,

205
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 5: wait on the Lord doesn't mean to sit back, pass idle. Okay, God,

206
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 5: I'm tired, I'm worn out, do your thing, renew my strength.

207
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 5: That word weight in one translation, says those who look

208
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 5: for God's goodness, who expect his favor, who long for

209
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 5: his blessing.

210
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 4: Waiting is supposed to be active.

211
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 5: Lord, Thank you that you're turning this situation around. Thank

212
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 5: you that you're bigger than this cancer, stronger than these opponents. Lord,

213
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 5: thank you for bringing my dreams to pass. You want

214
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 5: soar with the eagles. If you're negative in your thinking,

215
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 5: you want ron and not be weary. If you're focused

216
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 5: on your problems and how impossible it is. What causes

217
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 5: your strength to be renewed is when you live with

218
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 5: this expectancy.

219
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 4: You have this hope that God is working in your life.

220
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 5: This knowing that he's in control, that he can open

221
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 5: doors that.

222
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 4: No man can shut, that he will get you to

223
00:11:58,880 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: where you're supposed to be.

224
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 5: When you get your mind going in the right direction,

225
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 5: God will give you rest.

226
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 4: You don't have to go through life weary.

227
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 5: Nothing that's happened to you has stopped God's plan for

228
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 5: your life. Like David, it may be taken a long time,

229
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 5: you may have had some setbacks, but God is.

230
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 4: Still on the throne. He knows how to get you

231
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 4: to your destiny.

232
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 5: David not only stirred himself up, he got his men

233
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 5: stirred back up.

234
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 4: They went out and attacked the.

235
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 5: Enemy and recovered everything that had been stolen. Three days later,

236
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 5: King Saul was killed in a battle and David took

237
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 5: the throne. That was some thirteen years after he had

238
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 5: been anointed to be the next king.

239
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 4: My point is David.

240
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 5: Was closest to seeing the promise come to pass when

241
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 5: he faced his greatest challenge. When it seems like everything's

242
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 5: coming against you. Take in a long time. Now you

243
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 5: have this new problem. The medical report wasn't good. Business

244
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 5: went down, the situation at work intensified.

245
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 4: Stay encouraged.

246
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 5: That's a sign that the victory is near. Things were

247
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 5: about to turn around. The breakthrough is on the way.

248
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 5: Don't get weary. In well doing may not happen overnight.

249
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 4: You have to do like David and be in it

250
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 4: for the long haul.

251
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 5: Those thirteen years David waited for the promise, He had

252
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 5: to deal with battle fatigue. Don't you know, Thoughts told him, David,

253
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 5: it's never going to happen. You wouldn't have these challenges

254
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 5: if you were going to take the throne.

255
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 4: Weariness came knocking at his door again and again.

256
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 5: The reason he saw the promise fulfilled was not because

257
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 5: he never felt weary, not because he was superhuman. He

258
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 5: was never tempted to be tired and discouraged. It was

259
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 5: because he didn't allow.

260
00:13:58,800 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 4: The weariness in.

261
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 5: When you've been in a battle a long time, you

262
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 5: have to especially be on guard. It's easy to get

263
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 5: discouraged and think I'm tired of standing strong, I'm tired

264
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 5: of fighting this illness. I'm tired of believing for my dreams.

265
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 5: When you feel that weariness, instead of giving in, learn

266
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 5: to look up and say, God, I'm asking.

267
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 4: You to renew my strength.

268
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 5: When you do, you'll feel strength coming to you. God

269
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 5: will breathe new life back into your spirit.

270
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 4: You may be tired today.

271
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 5: You've been dealing with a challenge in your health, a

272
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 5: relationship in your finances for years. You used to believe

273
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 5: that you would overcome, but now you're worn down.

274
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 4: You don't think it's ever going to happen. Let me

275
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 4: encourage you. What God promised he's still going to bring

276
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 4: to pass.

277
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 5: You may have given up, but God has not given up.

278
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 4: He has your healing, your breakthrough your promotion to right people.

279
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 5: Now do your part, get your passion back, start taking

280
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 5: hold of his strength. Don't allow that weariness in the

281
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 5: enemy wouldn't be fighting you so hard unless he knew

282
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 5: you were close to your victory. He couldn't take you out,

283
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 5: so he's trying to wear you out. Get your weary discourage.

284
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 5: Don't fall into that trap. All through the day. Lord,

285
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 5: thank you that you're renewing my strength. Thank you that

286
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 5: I will soar like the eagles. Thank you that I am.

287
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 4: Strong in the Lord.

288
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 5: That battle may be taking a long time, but I

289
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 5: believe right now.

290
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 4: Strength is coming into you. Hope is coming into you.

291
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 4: God is filling you with fresh courage, determination, vision.

292
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 5: You will run and not be weary. You will walk

293
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 5: and not fame. That's what happened to a friend of mine.

294
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 5: He was diagnosed with cancer of the brain. The doctors

295
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 5: only gave him six months to live. It was the

296
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 5: worst kind of brain cancer you can have. He had

297
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 5: surgery to remove the tumor that was successful, but another

298
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 5: one came back. He's been taking all the treatment. He's

299
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 5: changed his diet and very disciplined about what he eats.

300
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 5: He made it past six months and another, and another

301
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 5: and another.

302
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 4: Every time I.

303
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 5: See him, he's upbeat, still has his sense of humor.

304
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 4: It's full of faith, full of resolved.

305
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 5: You wouldn't know anything is wrong. He's coming up on

306
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 5: three years since the diagnosis. The other day they took

307
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 5: a new brain scan and could not find any sign

308
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 5: of a tumor.

309
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 4: He has a very prestigious.

310
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 5: Doctor, one of the leaders in that field in all

311
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 5: of the world. This doctor asked my friend if he

312
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 5: would go to a support group for people that.

313
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 4: Have brain cancer. My friend said, Doctor, I don't really

314
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 4: feel like I need to go. I'm fine. Doctor said,

315
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 4: I'm not asking you to go for your sake. I'm

316
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 4: asking you to go for.

317
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 5: Other people's sake, so they can see someone who's beaten

318
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 5: the odds.

319
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 4: He wanted him to.

320
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 5: Go as an example, to be a source of encouragement

321
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 5: to others.

322
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 4: But over these last three years he's had plenty of

323
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 4: times where he's tempted to get weary.

324
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 5: The initial diagnosis, of course, was devastating. Never thought he'd

325
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 5: be dealing with brain cancer. It went away once, but

326
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 5: came back a second time, had to have another operation.

327
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 5: He could have thought, I can't deal with this anymore.

328
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 5: It just wasn't meant to be. But he didn't allow

329
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 5: the weariness in. He kept praying, believing, doing what he could,

330
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 5: and because he didn't get weary and well doing God

331
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 5: caused him to mount up with wings like eagles.

332
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 4: He became an exception.

333
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 5: That's what happens when you don't give in to battle fatigue.

334
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 5: You may be in a sty situation like my friend,

335
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 5: that looks impossible. You could easily let that overwhelm you.

336
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 5: But God has given.

337
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 4: You strength for that battle.

338
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 5: He said you would never face something you couldn't handle.

339
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 5: Quit telling yourself it's too much, and start.

340
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 4: Taking hold of His strength. That cancer is no match

341
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 4: for you.

342
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 5: That legal problem, that situation in your finances may look

343
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 5: like it's permanent, but it's just a matter of time

344
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 5: before God turns it around. Don't let weariness talk you

345
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 5: out of it. May be taking a long time, but

346
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 5: like David, the promise is on the way.

347
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 4: If you'll stay in faith, God will.

348
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,479
Speaker 5: Not only renew your strength, he'll renew your health, renew

349
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 5: your marriage, renew your business. He'll make a way where

350
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 5: you don't see your way. First Kings, Chapter eighteen. The

351
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 5: prophet Elijah had just called down fire from heaven and

352
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 5: defeated four hundred and fifty of the false prophets that

353
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 5: worshiped the God Bail.

354
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 4: They were all killed.

355
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 5: It was a great victory in Elijah's life. But there

356
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 5: was a lady that lived there by the name of Jezebel.

357
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 5: When she heard what happened to her four hundred and

358
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 5: fifty false prophets, she was furious. She sent word to

359
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 5: Elijah saying, if I don't kill you by this time tomorrow,

360
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 5: I'm going to take my own life. Elijah was so

361
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 5: afraid he took off running. He ran for a full

362
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 5: day into the desert. He ended up sitting.

363
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 4: Under a juniper tree.

364
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 5: He was so depressed he prayed that he would die.

365
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 5: He said, God, I'm done.

366
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 4: I've had enough. Take my life.

367
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 5: Here's this incredible man of faith, one of the great

368
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 5: heroes in the Bible. He's seeing God bring a child

369
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 5: back to life. Few days earlier, he outran a cherion.

370
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 5: He just called down fire from heaven.

371
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 4: A great miracle.

372
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 5: But now because one angry woman is after him, he

373
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 5: doesn't want to live. There's a deeper message there, but

374
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 5: I'm smart enough to leave it alone. He's laying under

375
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 5: this tree, depressed, discouraged, doesn't want to go on. An

376
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 5: angel appears under him and wakes him up. Usually when

377
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 5: an angel shows up in the scripture, it's to do

378
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 5: something supernatural, to open prison doors, to close the mouths

379
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 5: of hungry lions, to part red seas. But this angel

380
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 5: did something interesting. He said, Elijah, wake up and eat.

381
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 5: Elijah looked over. There was bread cooking on hot coals

382
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 5: and a jar of water. Elijah ate the bread and

383
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 5: drank the water. Went back to sleep. A few hours later,

384
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 5: the angel woke him up again said the same thing,

385
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 5: Get up and eat.

386
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 4: He ate and drank some more.

387
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 5: The scripture says, being stream and by that food, he

388
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 5: traveled forty days.

389
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 4: To his next assignment. His whole attitude had changed. Why

390
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 4: was Elijah discouraged, depressed.

391
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 5: Not wanting to go on Because he was tired, He

392
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 5: was worn out, he was hungry.

393
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 4: He didn't need a miracle, He just needed some sleep.

394
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 5: Sometimes when we're weary, it's not a spiritual problem, it's

395
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 5: a physical problem. He had just ran twenty four hours

396
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 5: to try to get away from Jezebel.

397
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 4: He just needed some rest, just needed a good meal.

398
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 5: In other words, the angel didn't wake him up and say,

399
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 5: be free from your weariness. Healed from this depression. He said,

400
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 5: eat this food, drink this water. He was saying, Elijah,

401
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 5: take care of yourself, get back in balance. Too often

402
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 5: we're fighting battles in our mind, no passion. Discouraged, not

403
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 5: because of the enemy, but because of how taking care

404
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 5: of ourselves. You are a three part being physical, spiritual,

405
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 5: and emotional. You have to take care of all three parts.

406
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 5: You can pray twenty four hours a day, but you.

407
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 4: Won't feel well physically. Your body needs to be cared for.

408
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 5: You can go to the gym, work out five hours

409
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 5: a day, seven days a week, but if you're not

410
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 5: taking time for your spiritual and emotional side, you're not

411
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 5: going to be your best.

412
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: Living balanced is the key.

413
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 5: You can't stay up all night and not get the

414
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 5: proper sleep and expect to feel good the next day.

415
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 5: You won't have the passion you need, the creativity. You

416
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 5: won't make good decisions. And some people are praying for

417
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 5: a miracle. They're discouraged, they have no energy. But if

418
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 5: the angel showed up, he would say the same thing.

419
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 5: He said to Elijah, get some sleep, start eating better,

420
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 5: take care of your physical body.

421
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 4: Can't drink twenty five.

422
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 5: Cups of coffee a day, eat sugar all the time,

423
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 5: and expect to feel good. I read where one of

424
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 5: the causes of depression is simply not getting enough sleep.

425
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 4: What am I saying? Pay attention to practical things.

426
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 5: You can't go against natural laws and expect God to

427
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 5: bless you. Your body is the house you live in.

428
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 5: The Scripture calls it the temple of the Holy Spirit.

429
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 5: I'm asking you to take care of your temple. Don't

430
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 5: put junk in your temple. Your spirit the real You

431
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 5: cannot live on this earth without your body.

432
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 4: We need you here a long time.

433
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 5: Don't have your life cut short because you're not taking care.

434
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 4: Of what God has given you. And it's easy to

435
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 4: work all.

436
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 5: The time, get up early, stay up late, always thinking

437
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 5: about the business, thinking about.

438
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 4: What we have to do next.

439
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 5: But being a word alcoholic is doing yourself a disservice.

440
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 5: Your mind needs a break, your body needs to relax.

441
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 5: That's why in the Old Testament God required them.

442
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 4: To take a sabbath. They didn't have a choice. One

443
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 4: day a week. They couldn't even pick up a stick.

444
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 4: They had to rest.

445
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 5: Even when God created the universe. On the seventh day,

446
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 5: he rested. He didn't have to.

447
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 4: He's God. He was showing us this principle.

448
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 5: David said, God leads me by the still waters. He

449
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 5: makes me lie down in green pastures. That wording is interesting,

450
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 5: He makes me lie down. This implies if you don't

451
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 5: take care of yourself, If you live overworked, run down,

452
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 5: stressed out, you don't get enough sleep, you don't eat right,

453
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 5: Eventually that's going.

454
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 4: To catch up to you.

455
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 5: If you don't take time to lie down in green pastures,

456
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 5: God will make you lie down in green pastures.

457
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 4: You'll probably come to a point where you have to rest.

458
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 5: What I'm saying, don't wear yourself out to where God

459
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 5: has to make you slow down.

460
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 4: Too many times we end up unhealthy.

461
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 5: We can't do what we used to do, not because

462
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 5: the enemy, but because we are not taking care of

463
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 5: our temple.

464
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 4: You need recreation. You need to laugh, You need to

465
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 4: have fun. Laughter is like a medicine.

466
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 5: Laughter releases stress, causes you to have more energy. My

467
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 5: personality type is I'm a hard worker. I'm driven, I'm determined.

468
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 5: I like to accomplish things. And we have a lot

469
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 5: going on here. I could think about the ministry twenty

470
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 5: four hours a day. But I've learned if I don't

471
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 5: exercise during the week I'm not going to be my best.

472
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 4: Up here on the weekends.

473
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 5: If I don't take time for recreation, ride bikes with

474
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 5: my family, they play basketball, I'm not going to function

475
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 5: at my highest level. You will be your most productive,

476
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 5: your most effective, not when you're working all the time,

477
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 5: but when you're balanced physically, spiritually, and emotionally. If you

478
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 5: neglect one area, it will limit what you can accomplish.

479
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 4: And a lot of people are.

480
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 5: Good at taking care of the physical, good at taking

481
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 5: care of the emotional, but they don't take care of

482
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 5: the spiritual.

483
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 4: There's no connection to God.

484
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 5: Your life will be more rewarding, more fulfilling when you're

485
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 5: in relationship with your creator.

486
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 4: God breeds his life into you.

487
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 5: He knows what your purpose is, he knows what you

488
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 5: can accomplish. When you make Him a part of your life,

489
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 5: you will go further than you can and just your

490
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 5: own ability, your own talent. The scripture says, if you'll

491
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 5: put God first, he will your efforts with success. His

492
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 5: favor on your life will take you where your.

493
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 4: Talent could not take you.

494
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 5: If you're going to reach your highest potential, make.

495
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 4: Your spiritual life a priority.

496
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 5: When you get up each morning, take time to thank

497
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 5: God for the day. Don't just rush out of the

498
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 5: house all stressed out.

499
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 4: Start the day off.

500
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 5: With a grateful attitude all through the day. Meditate on

501
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 5: His promises. Keep your mind filled with thoughts of hope, faith,

502
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 5: thoughts of victory. Friends, you don't have to go through

503
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 5: life weary. Maybe today you need to make an adjustment,

504
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 5: a practical thing like Elijah, taking better care of yourself,

505
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 5: or maybe an adjustment in your attitude.

506
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 4: In how you're seeing things. You've been dealing with a

507
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 4: challenge for a long time.

508
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 5: Now you're suffering from battle fatigue.

509
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 4: You don't think you can go on. This is a

510
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 4: new day.

511
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 5: God is even new life back into your spirit. Dare

512
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 5: to take hold of His strength, get your passion back.

513
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 4: When you feel weak, start declaring I am strong.

514
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 5: If you'll do this, I believe and declare you will

515
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 5: run and not be weary. God is renewing your strength

516
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 5: so you can soar like the eagles. Health is coming,

517
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,479

00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 5: Lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

521
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 5: I repent of my sins.

522
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 4: Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.
