Speaker 6: you feel at home. But thanks for tuning in today,

46
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 6: and I like to start with something funny, and I

47
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 6: heard about this man. He was driving through an intersection

48
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 6: that was monitored by cameras. If you ran the light

49
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 6: or broke the law in any way, it would take

50
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 6: your picture and you'd receive a ticket in the mail.

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 6: So he made sure to go extra slowly through the intersection,

52
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 6: not break the law. But he noticed the camera flashed,

53
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 6: thought that's not right, turned around, and he drove through

54
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 6: it again, even more slowly. Once again it took his picture.

55
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 6: He thought, this thing is messed up. They can't send

56
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 6: me a ticket. Out of spite, he drove back through

57
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 6: the intersection three more times, each time waving at the

58
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 6: camera with a big smile. A week later, he received

59
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 6: five tickets in the mail for not wearing his seat belt.

60
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 6: Hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it.

61
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 6: This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am.

62
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do

63
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 6: what it says I can do. Today I will be

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 6: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

65
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 6: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

66
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 6: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

67
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 6: to talk to you today about how you cannot be defeated.

68
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 6: We all face situations where the odds are against us.

69
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 6: We don't see how we could get well, how relationship

70
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 6: could be restored, maybe how we could ever break an addiction.

71
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 6: In the natural. It seems impossible, and it's easy to

72
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 6: just accept it and think this is my lot in life.

73
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 6: But David said in Psalm forty one, the favor of

74
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 6: God keeps my enemies from defeating me. When you walk

75
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 6: in God's favor, honoring him with your life, knowing who

76
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 6: you are and who you are, you cannot be defeated.

77
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 6: You may suffer a temporary setback, a disappointment, an unfair situation,

78
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 6: but if you'll keep moving forward, it won't be permanent.

79
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 6: One touch of God's favor can turn any situation around,

80
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 6: and what you're facing may seem bigger, stronger, more powerful.

81
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 6: But deep down, don't be intimidated. You've got to know

82
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 6: you cannot be defeated. The creator of the universe has

83
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 6: put his favor on your life. And this is what

84
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 6: Joseph did. He had one bad break after another. His

85
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 6: brothers betrayed him, sold him into slavery. He spent years

86
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 6: in prison for something that he didn't do. It looked

87
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 6: like that had ruined his life. Joseph could have become

88
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 6: bitter angry. God is not fair. No, he understood this principle.

89
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 6: He knew because of God's favor on his life, though

90
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 6: his enemies could not keep him defeated, he just kept

91
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 6: being his best, honoring God. I can hear him in

92
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 6: the prisons. Lord, thank you that your favor is turning

93
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 6: this around. Thank you that this is not my destiny

94
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 6: in the end. In spite of his brothers trying to

95
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 6: hold him back, in spite of Potiphar's wife lying about him,

96
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 6: in spite of being sold into slavery, God not only

97
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 6: delivered him. God not only vindicated him, but God paid

98
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 6: him back for all that trouble. He was promoted and

99
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 6: put second in command of the whole nation of Egypt.

100
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 6: What am I saying? The enemy of betrayal couldn't defeat him,

101
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 6: The enemy of being lied about and falsely accused couldn't

102
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 6: defeat him. The enemy of injustice, bad breaks, being put

103
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 6: in prison couldn't hold him down. Why the favor of

104
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 6: God kept his enemies from defeating him. You too may

105
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 6: have had a rough past. Maybe you've had some bad

106
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 6: breaks the good news is it's not over. God is

107
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 6: not finished. God always ends in all is well. If

108
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 6: all is not well, it simply means it is not

109
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 6: the end. You haven't seen what God is about to do.

110
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 6: God is about to take what's meant for your harm

111
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 6: and use it to your advantage. God is about to

112
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 6: pay you back for the unfair things that have happened.

113
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 6: And just like with Joseph, when you keep a good

114
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 6: attitude when it's not fair, when you do the right

115
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 6: thing when the wrong thing is happening, the favor of

116
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 6: God on your life will cause you to rise above

117
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 6: every difficulty. May not happen overnight, but God promises those

118
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 6: enemies cannot keep you defeated. Are you facing a situation

119
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 6: that seems permanent, a sickness, an addiction, a relationship issue.

120
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 6: Don't sit around in self pity. God is saying that

121
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 6: bad break, that disappointment is not going to stop your destiny.

122
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 6: That sickness cannot snatch you out of God's hands. That addiction,

123
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 6: that trouble, that lack is not permanent. God has put

124
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 6: his favor on you, and his favor always causes you

125
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 6: to triumph. Now you've got to get in agreement with

126
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 6: God all through the day, instead of thinking, oh, Joe,

127
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 6: I can't get well. Have you seen the medical report?

128
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 6: I'll never accomplish my dreams. No, Lord, thank you that

129
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 6: your favor is turning this around. Thank you that your

130
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 6: favor is vindicating me, restoring me, opening up new doors.

131
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 6: And when you're tempted to be discouraged under your breath,

132
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 6: just keep declaring it. The favor of God keeps my

133
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 6: enemies from defeating me. I've learned the more you brag

134
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 6: on God's favor, the more of his favor you're going

135
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 6: to see. We've all heard little boy bragging on their father.

136
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 6: My dad is stronger than your dad. My dad can

137
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 6: run faster than your dad. Well, my dad can whoop

138
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 6: your dad. That's the way we should be concerning our

139
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 6: heavenly father. Instead of talking about how big the problem is,

140
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 6: how impossible it is. No, start bragging on the favor

141
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 6: of God. This is what Nehemiah did. A man in

142
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 6: the scripture. He had a dream to rebuild the walls

143
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 6: of Jerusalem. He didn't have the money, the supplies, the

144
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 6: man power. He had incredible opposition. The city leaders weren't

145
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 6: for him. The critics tried to talk him out of it.

146
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 6: He could have gotten discouraged and thought, these obstacles are

147
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 6: too big. I'll never overcome these enemies. No, right in

148
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 6: the middle of the difficulty, he said, I can do

149
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 6: this because the gracious hand of God is on my life.

150
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 6: He was saying, the favor of God is making away

151
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 6: and again he made this same statement, the gracious hand

152
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 6: of God will help me overcome. He was constantly bragging

153
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 6: on God's goodness. In the end, he not only rebuilt

154
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 6: the wall, but he did it in record time. Should

155
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 6: have taken a year or two, but he did it

156
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 6: in just fifty two days. When you're always talking about

157
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 6: God's goodness, Lord, thank you that your favor is turning

158
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 6: this around. God, think you that your favor is defeating

159
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 6: my enemies. Then you're going to see his favor, his goodness,

160
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 6: his protection in new ways. You may be in a

161
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 6: tough time, but don't magnify your problem. Magnify your God.

162
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 6: The bigger you make God, the smaller your problems will become.

163
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 6: And it's interesting when David faced Goliath, he never called

164
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 6: him a giant. Other people did, but not David. He

165
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 6: didn't brag on the enemy's power. He didn't magnify the obstacle.

166
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 6: He did just the opposite. He called him an un

167
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 6: uncircumcised philistine. Not only did he not acknowledge who Goliath was,

168
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 6: his strength, his power, his experience, he took it one

169
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 6: step further and he diminished him. When he said he's

170
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 6: an uncircumcised philistine, he was saying, this man is not

171
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 6: in covenant with my God. He's not in covenant with Jehovah.

172
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 6: In other words, he doesn't have the favor on his

173
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 6: life that's on my life. I know the favor of

174
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 6: my God causes my enemies to not be able to

175
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 6: defeat me. So when he went to face Goliath, he said,

176
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 6: this day I will defeat you and feed your head

177
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 6: to the birds of the air. How could David, a

178
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 6: teenager practically half his size, no military experience, go out

179
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 6: with such confidence and face Goliath, a skilled warrior wearing

180
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 6: a full set of armor. It's because he understood this principle.

181
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 6: David is the one that said the favor of God

182
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 6: keeps my enemies from defeating me. I can imagine him

183
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 6: running to the battlefield. Negative thoughts were bombard in his mind,

184
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 6: saying David, this is a big mistake. This jiine is

185
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 6: too big. You better turn around. David not only dismissed

186
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 6: goliath size, he dismissed those negative thoughts In difficult times,

187
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 6: it makes a difference what you're thinking about. If you're

188
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 6: telling yourself this sickness is too big, it's going to

189
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 6: be the end of me. I'll never get out of debt. Joel,

190
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 6: my marriage is doomed. We don't have a chance. That's

191
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 6: going to limit what God can do. You've got to

192
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 6: do like David and switch over to an attitude of faith.

193
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 6: In other words, this sickness is no match for me.

194
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 6: This trouble doesn't have a chance. I have a secret weapon.

195
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 6: I know the favor of God keeps my enemies from

196
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 6: defeating me. I know God's favor causes me to overcome,

197
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 6: to outlast, to accomplish what I could not accomplish on

198
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 6: my own. See, in tough times, you're going to be

199
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 6: saying something. Don't talk about how big the problem is.

200
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 6: Talk about how big your God is. Say like David,

201
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 6: I will defeat you. Say like Nehemiah, the gracious hint

202
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 6: of God, His favor is on my life. Every day.

203
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 6: You need to declare this not only so that you

204
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 6: can hear it, not only so that God can hear it.

205
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 6: You need to say it so the enemy can hear it.

206
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 6: Look at that negative medical report and say to the

207
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 6: enemy of sickness, the favor of God is causing me

208
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 6: to defeat you. Look at that check book. Say to

209
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 6: the enemy of debt, the favor of God is defeeding you.

210
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 6: That child is off course. Instead of complaining, he's never

211
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 6: going to straighten up. No, say to the enemy, you

212
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 6: can't have my children as from me and my house.

213
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 6: We will serve the Lord. When you have this attitude

214
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 6: of faith, all the forces of darkness cannot stop you.

215
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 6: You may have seen on the news this week a

216
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 6: man was working in a convenience story. This robber came

217
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 6: in with a gun. He told the man to open

218
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 6: up the safe. The man was so nervous he couldn't

219
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 6: open it up quickly enough. The robber got upset and

220
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 6: shot him in the chest point blank range, ran out

221
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 6: of the store. Other customers that were hiding rushed over

222
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 6: to help the man. They noticed there wasn't any blood.

223
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 6: Come to find out, the man had his cell phone

224
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 6: on the inside pocket of his jacket. When the robber

225
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 6: shot him, the bullet hit the cell phone and ricocheted off.

226
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 6: The paramedics said, you a one lucky man. The truth

227
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 6: is you and I know that wasn't a lucky break.

228
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 6: That was the favor of God. The cell phone to

229
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 6: be at the exact right place. If it's not your

230
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 6: time to go, you're not going to go. Why the

231
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 6: favor of God keeps your enemies from defeating you. I

232
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 6: read an article about a man that was cleaning his

233
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 6: hunting rifle when it accidentally went off. The bullet went

234
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 6: up through his chin and was headed toward his brain,

235
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 6: but along the way the bullet hit the man's dentures

236
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 6: and it slightly changed the course. The surgeon said that

237
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 6: that bullet missed the main part of his brain by

238
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 6: less than a millimeter. Had it not had that slight

239
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 6: change in path, it would have certainly ended his life.

240
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 6: You may not like your dentures, but you better thank

241
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 6: God for your denters. Some of you have tea like

242
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 6: the stars they come out at night. But God, I

243
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 6: know that's corning you. Listen, God can use your cell phone,

244
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 6: your false his teeth. You're wig you're bleed to spare

245
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 6: your life. You don't have to live in fear. The

246
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 6: favor of God is like a shield. It's a hedge

247
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 6: of protection that the enemy cannot penetrate. Don't go around worried, nervous, anxious, intimidated.

248
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 6: The creator of the universe has you in the palm

249
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 6: of his hand. Nothing can snatch you away. I saw

250
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 6: on television this group was filming a movie. The man

251
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 6: the lead actor. He was in a helicopter flying over

252
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 6: the ocean. In this scene, he was supposed to hand

253
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 6: something to the people on the boat below, and the

254
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 6: helicopter came real close toward the water. All of a sudden,

255
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 6: there was a huge burst of wind. You could watch

256
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 6: all this take place. The pilot lost control of the helicopter,

257
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 6: started spinning around a couple times, hit the water, and

258
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 6: quickly sunk. About thirty seconds later, the pilot surfaced. He

259
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 6: was okay and was relieved, but there was no sign

260
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 6: of this other man, the lead actor. A minute went by,

261
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 6: seemed like an eternity. Two minutes, three minutes, four minutes,

262
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 6: five minutes later, his head popped up out of the water.

263
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 6: He told how he was unconscious when he came to

264
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 6: he didn't know where he was totally confused. He said,

265
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 6: I want to thank all the rescuers, and especially the

266
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 6: one that grabbed the back of my shirt, pulled me

267
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 6: out of the helicopter and gave me that big push

268
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 6: toward the top of the water. The people that were

269
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 6: watching they were amazed. They said, what do you mean

270
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 6: there were no rescuers. You were down there by yourself.

271
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 6: He looked up and said, then I want to thank God.

272
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 6: I know it was him that lifted me out. Friends,

273
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 6: God has the final say. The enemy is not in

274
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 6: control of your life. God is in control. And it

275
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 6: may look like that difficulty is going to defeat you,

276
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 6: but you need to keep telling yourself this sickness can't

277
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 6: take my life. This cancer can't defeat me. No bad break,

278
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 6: no disappointment, no accident can shorten one second of my

279
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 6: divine destiny. Isaiah said, when you go through the water,

280
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 6: you will not drown. When you go through the rivers,

281
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 6: you won't go under. When you go through the fire,

282
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 6: you'll come out without the smell of smoke. You may

283
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 6: be in the fire today, God is saying you're coming out,

284
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 6: and you're not gonna come out beat up bedraggled, barely

285
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 6: making it. You're gonna come out without a bruise, without

286
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 6: a scratch, without a blending, better off than you were before.

287
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 6: Now you gotta dig your heels in and say that's it.

288
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 6: I'm done living worried, depressed, discouraged. I know I have

289
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 6: a protector. I have a defender. I have a deliverer.

290
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 6: I have a waymaker. I have a vindicator, a healer,

291
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 6: a provider, a dream giver, a promise keeper. No weapon

292
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 6: formed against you can ever prosper Psalm eighty nine says

293
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 6: our power is based on His favor. If you want

294
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 6: to be powerful, you got to tap into God's favor.

295
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 6: If you want to overcome challenges, you want to break

296
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 6: free from bondages. It doesn't just happen in your own strength,

297
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 6: in your own effort. It happens when you go through

298
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 6: the day bragging on the goodness of God, acknowledging his power. Lord,

299
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 6: thank you that your favor is defeating my enemies for me.

300
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 6: That's when God will do things for you that you

301
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 6: could never make happen on your own. I remember when

302
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 6: we were trying to acquire this facility, the former Compact Center.

303
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 6: We needed ten votes from the city council members. We'd

304
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 6: worked on it for nearly three years and we had

305
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 6: our ten votes. We were very excited. But two days

306
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 6: before the main vote, one of the council members we

307
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 6: got so much pressure from the other side they decided

308
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 6: to be out of town. Him not being there was

309
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 6: basically a no vote. We wouldn't get the facility. In

310
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 6: the natural. It didn't look good. We could have gotten discouraged,

311
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 6: but we knew it's not over until God says it's over.

312
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 6: We stood on this same promise, the favor of God

313
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 6: keeps our enemies from defeating us. Instead of complaining, Lord,

314
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 6: we recognize our power is based on your favor. God.

315
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 6: We know you can do what we can't do. You

316
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 6: can make a way where we don't see away. What

317
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 6: were we do in acknowledging God's goodness, bragging on his power,

318
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 6: magnifying his greatness. The day before the main vote, a

319
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 6: young Jewish council member who had been against us the

320
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 6: whole time, he decided to change his vote, and instead

321
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 6: of voting against us, he voted for us and we

322
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 6: got the facility. I asked him afterwards what caused him

323
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 6: to change his vote? He told how an elderly Jewish

324
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 6: lady that he had grown up with called him out

325
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 6: of the blue. He hadn't spoken to this lady in

326
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 6: over twenty years, but he always admired and respected her,

327
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 6: and she told him, in no uncertain terms, you are

328
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 6: to vote for Lakewood having the compact center. He said, Joel,

329
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 6: you were very persuasive. Your team put on a good presentation,

330
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 6: but you didn't convince me to change my mind. It

331
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 6: was that phone call, that one lady. She's the one

332
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 6: that caused me to change my vote. What's interesting is

333
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 6: I don't know that lady. I'd never talked to her.

334
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 6: I didn't ask her to call. But when you go

335
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 6: around bragging on God's goodness, He'll make things happen for

336
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 6: you that you could never make happen on your own.

337
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 6: He'll put the right people at the right place. Our

338
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 6: power is based on his favor, and that's why it's

339
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 6: so important that you activate your faith in this area.

340
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 6: There are enemies that you cannot defeat in your own strength.

341
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 6: There are obstacles that you can't overcome by yourself. There

342
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 6: are doors that need to open for you for you

343
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 6: to reach the fullness of your destiny, But you can't

344
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 6: open them in your own talent, your own strength, your

345
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 6: own ability. It's going to take the favor of God.

346
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 6: And when you have this attitude of faith, bragging on

347
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 6: God's goodness, God will make things happen for you that

348
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 6: you couldn't make happen on your own. He will defeat

349
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 6: enemies that you could have never defeated. God will open

350
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 6: doors that you could have never opened. He'll cause you

351
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 6: to live even when the medical report says you don't

352
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 6: have a chance. His favor can defeat cancer. His favor

353
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 6: can change a council member's mind. His favor can cause

354
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 6: the bullet to hit the cell phone. His favor can

355
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 6: take you from the pit to the palace, like it

356
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 6: did for Joseph. We should say, Lord, I recognize my

357
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 6: power is based on your favor. So Lord, I want

358
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 6: to thank you that your favor is defeating my enemies

359
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 6: for me. I talked to a young lady. She'd been

360
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 6: addicted to cocaine for fourteen years. She's been through rehab, counseling,

361
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 6: different clinics again and again. She would get out and

362
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 6: stay clean for a couple of weeks and then go

363
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 6: right back to it. The reason is you cannot break

364
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 6: bad habits and addictions just in your willpower, just in

365
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 6: your own strength. Those strongholds are not just physical. Those

366
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 6: are unseen forces that are holding you back. And it's

367
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 6: good to do your part in the physical, but you

368
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 6: have to deal with the spiritual side as well. You've

369
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 6: got to humble yourself and ask God to help you.

370
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 6: You've got to recognize your power is based on His favor.

371
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 6: Without his favor, you'll addicted. Without God's favor, our life

372
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 6: will be limited, will get stuck. And I told her

373
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 6: what I'm telling you. Every day, declare the favor of

374
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 6: God is defeating my enemies. The favor of God is

375
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 6: breaking every stronghold, every addiction. She got out of this

376
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 6: defeated mindset. I can't do it, it's too hard. I

377
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 6: tried and failed. She switched over to a favor mindset.

378
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 6: The last time I saw her, she had been cleaned

379
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 6: for nine months, the most she's ever gone in those

380
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 6: fourteen years. She looked like a different person. She had

381
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 6: gained weight back, her skin had cleared up. She had

382
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 6: a big smile on her face. She was radiating with

383
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 6: God's glory. That's what happens when you tap into God's favor,

384
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 6: he'll help you overcome challenges that you could never overcome

385
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 6: on your own. Psalm forty four says it this way.

386
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 6: They did not get the land in their own strength

387
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 6: or by their own sword, but because you favored them.

388
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 6: You may be up against a big challenge today. You've

389
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 6: done everything you can in your own strength, in your

390
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 6: own ability, and that's important. But let me encourage you

391
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 6: when you come to the end of your ability, when

392
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 6: you don't see away, when all the odds are against you,

393
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 6: don't get discouraged. Don't let the negative thoughts keep playing

394
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 6: in your mind. Just keep thanking God for his favor,

395
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 6: and God will do for you what he did for

396
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 6: these people. What you couldn't make happen on your own,

397
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 6: what you couldn't fix in your own ability, because of

398
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 6: the favor of God, he will make it happen for you. See,

399
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 6: I couldn't change that council member's mind. I tried my best.

400
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 6: I worked on him again and again. I told him

401
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 6: all the reasons why Lakewood would be good for the

402
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 6: Compact Center. We would help people, We'd be a lighthouse

403
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 6: of hope. This would be good for the city. It

404
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 6: went in one ear and out the other. But what

405
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 6: I couldn't do, God could do what am I saying.

406
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 6: God knows how to solve your problems. God knows how

407
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 6: to change people's minds. God knows how to restore your health.

408
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 6: He's the one that made your body. It may look

409
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 6: like that financial situation is never going to turn around,

410
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 6: but one touch of God's favor can put you into overflow.

411
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 6: You'll have more than enough. God is not limited by

412
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 6: what you're facing. He's limited by what you're believing. When

413
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 6: you believe, all things are possible. When you go through

414
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 6: the day saying Lord, thank you for your favor, that's

415
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 6: when God can do things for you that you could

416
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 6: never do on your own. Psalm forty four. Same scripture

417
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 6: in the Message translation says, we didn't have to work

418
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 6: for the land. You freely gave it to us. You

419
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 6: sent our enemies packing and gave it to us smiling.

420
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 6: You may have struggled in an area for a long time.

421
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 6: You need to get read. God is about to send

422
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 6: that enemy packing. Just imagine that sickness, that cancer, that

423
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 6: chronic pain packing up and leaving your body. God is

424
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 6: going to send that addiction packing He's going to send

425
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 6: that debt, that struggle, that lack packing for How about

426
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 6: that relationship problem, the legal issue, the infertility. It's not

427
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 6: going to be with you your whole life. God is

428
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 6: not only going to send it packing, but he's going

429
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 6: to release the healing, the breakthrough, the baby you've been

430
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 6: praying about, the business you've been wanting to start, the

431
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 6: person you've been dreaming to me. Notice how God is

432
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 6: going to do it? It says, God gave it to them, smiling.

433
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 6: That's the way God is. He wants to be good

434
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 6: to you. God wants you to live in victory, healthy, whole,

435
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 6: free and abundant life. Why don't you get in agreement

436
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 6: with God and say, Lord, I want to thank you

437
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 6: that you're sending my enemy's pack, that you're doing for

438
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 6: me what I could not do on my own. First,

439
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 6: Peter says, hope to the end for the divine favor

440
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 6: that is coming. In difficult times, negative thoughts will tell

441
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 6: you it's never going to change. You're never going to

442
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 6: get out of this problem. No, down deep, You've got

443
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 6: to know favor is headed your way. Keep reminding yourself.

444
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 6: Healing is coming, breakthroughs are coming, Restoration is coming. Hope

445
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 6: to the end. That means keep believing for God's favor.

446
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 6: Get up every morning expecting it to turn around. Go

447
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 6: out during the day knowing that you have a secret weapon.

448
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 6: You cannot be defeated. The favor of God is on

449
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 6: your life. You may be in a tough time, but

450
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 6: that setback is simply a setup for a greater comeback.

451
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 6: The winds that are trying to stop you, all God

452
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 6: has to do is shift the and instead of holding

453
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 6: you back, they will push you forward. Some of you

454
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 6: are about to see this shift. You're about to see

455
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 6: God defeat an enemy. You're about to break an addiction.

456
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 6: You're about to see a relationship restored. You're about to

457
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 6: be thrust into the fullness of your destiny. And if

458
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 6: you will have this attitude of faith, knowing that you

459
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 6: cannot be defeated, and I believe and declare that God

460
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,639
