Speaker 6: These are the finest people in all of Houston, Texas,
Speaker 6: right here at Lakewood and I'll promise you will make
Speaker 6: you feel at home. But thanks for tuning in today,
Speaker 6: and I like to start with something funny, and I
Speaker 6: heard about this man. He was driving through an intersection
Speaker 6: that was monitored by cameras. If you ran the light
Speaker 6: or broke the law in any way, it would take
Speaker 6: your picture and you'd receive a ticket in the mail.
Speaker 6: So he made sure to go extra slowly through the intersection,
Speaker 6: not break the law. But he noticed the camera flashed,
Speaker 6: thought that's not right, turned around, and he drove through
Speaker 6: it again, even more slowly. Once again it took his picture.
Speaker 6: He thought, this thing is messed up. They can't send
Speaker 6: me a ticket. Out of spite, he drove back through
Speaker 6: the intersection three more times, each time waving at the
Speaker 6: camera with a big smile. A week later, he received
Speaker 6: five tickets in the mail for not wearing his seat belt.
Speaker 6: Hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it.
Speaker 6: This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am.
Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do
Speaker 6: what it says I can do. Today I will be
Speaker 6: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind
Speaker 6: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be
Speaker 6: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want
Speaker 6: to talk to you today about how you cannot be defeated.
Speaker 6: We all face situations where the odds are against us.
Speaker 6: We don't see how we could get well, how relationship
Speaker 6: could be restored, maybe how we could ever break an addiction.
Speaker 6: In the natural. It seems impossible, and it's easy to
Speaker 6: just accept it and think this is my lot in life.
Speaker 6: But David said in Psalm forty one, the favor of
Speaker 6: God keeps my enemies from defeating me. When you walk
Speaker 6: in God's favor, honoring him with your life, knowing who
Speaker 6: you are and who you are, you cannot be defeated.
Speaker 6: You may suffer a temporary setback, a disappointment, an unfair situation,
Speaker 6: but if you'll keep moving forward, it won't be permanent.
Speaker 6: One touch of God's favor can turn any situation around,
Speaker 6: and what you're facing may seem bigger, stronger, more powerful.
Speaker 6: But deep down, don't be intimidated. You've got to know
Speaker 6: you cannot be defeated. The creator of the universe has
Speaker 6: put his favor on your life. And this is what
Speaker 6: Joseph did. He had one bad break after another. His
Speaker 6: brothers betrayed him, sold him into slavery. He spent years
Speaker 6: in prison for something that he didn't do. It looked
Speaker 6: like that had ruined his life. Joseph could have become
Speaker 6: bitter angry. God is not fair. No, he understood this principle.
Speaker 6: He knew because of God's favor on his life, though
Speaker 6: his enemies could not keep him defeated, he just kept
Speaker 6: being his best, honoring God. I can hear him in
Speaker 6: the prisons. Lord, thank you that your favor is turning
Speaker 6: this around. Thank you that this is not my destiny
Speaker 6: in the end. In spite of his brothers trying to
Speaker 6: hold him back, in spite of Potiphar's wife lying about him,
Speaker 6: in spite of being sold into slavery, God not only
Speaker 6: delivered him. God not only vindicated him, but God paid
Speaker 6: him back for all that trouble. He was promoted and
Speaker 6: put second in command of the whole nation of Egypt.
Speaker 6: What am I saying? The enemy of betrayal couldn't defeat him,
Speaker 6: The enemy of being lied about and falsely accused couldn't
Speaker 6: defeat him. The enemy of injustice, bad breaks, being put
Speaker 6: in prison couldn't hold him down. Why the favor of
Speaker 6: God kept his enemies from defeating him. You too may
Speaker 6: have had a rough past. Maybe you've had some bad
Speaker 6: breaks the good news is it's not over. God is
Speaker 6: not finished. God always ends in all is well. If
Speaker 6: all is not well, it simply means it is not
Speaker 6: the end. You haven't seen what God is about to do.
Speaker 6: God is about to take what's meant for your harm
Speaker 6: and use it to your advantage. God is about to
Speaker 6: pay you back for the unfair things that have happened.
Speaker 6: And just like with Joseph, when you keep a good
Speaker 6: attitude when it's not fair, when you do the right
Speaker 6: thing when the wrong thing is happening, the favor of
Speaker 6: God on your life will cause you to rise above
Speaker 6: every difficulty. May not happen overnight, but God promises those
Speaker 6: enemies cannot keep you defeated. Are you facing a situation
Speaker 6: that seems permanent, a sickness, an addiction, a relationship issue.
Speaker 6: Don't sit around in self pity. God is saying that
Speaker 6: bad break, that disappointment is not going to stop your destiny.
Speaker 6: That sickness cannot snatch you out of God's hands. That addiction,
Speaker 6: that trouble, that lack is not permanent. God has put
Speaker 6: his favor on you, and his favor always causes you
Speaker 6: to triumph. Now you've got to get in agreement with
Speaker 6: God all through the day, instead of thinking, oh, Joe,
Speaker 6: I can't get well. Have you seen the medical report?
Speaker 6: I'll never accomplish my dreams. No, Lord, thank you that
Speaker 6: your favor is turning this around. Thank you that your
Speaker 6: favor is vindicating me, restoring me, opening up new doors.
Speaker 6: And when you're tempted to be discouraged under your breath,
Speaker 6: just keep declaring it. The favor of God keeps my
Speaker 6: enemies from defeating me. I've learned the more you brag
Speaker 6: on God's favor, the more of his favor you're going
Speaker 6: to see. We've all heard little boy bragging on their father.
Speaker 6: My dad is stronger than your dad. My dad can
Speaker 6: run faster than your dad. Well, my dad can whoop
Speaker 6: your dad. That's the way we should be concerning our
Speaker 6: heavenly father. Instead of talking about how big the problem is,
Speaker 6: how impossible it is. No, start bragging on the favor
Speaker 6: of God. This is what Nehemiah did. A man in
Speaker 6: the scripture. He had a dream to rebuild the walls
Speaker 6: of Jerusalem. He didn't have the money, the supplies, the
Speaker 6: man power. He had incredible opposition. The city leaders weren't
Speaker 6: for him. The critics tried to talk him out of it.
Speaker 6: He could have gotten discouraged and thought, these obstacles are
Speaker 6: too big. I'll never overcome these enemies. No, right in
Speaker 6: the middle of the difficulty, he said, I can do
Speaker 6: this because the gracious hand of God is on my life.
Speaker 6: He was saying, the favor of God is making away
Speaker 6: and again he made this same statement, the gracious hand
Speaker 6: of God will help me overcome. He was constantly bragging
Speaker 6: on God's goodness. In the end, he not only rebuilt
Speaker 6: the wall, but he did it in record time. Should
Speaker 6: have taken a year or two, but he did it
Speaker 6: in just fifty two days. When you're always talking about
Speaker 6: God's goodness, Lord, thank you that your favor is turning
Speaker 6: this around. God, think you that your favor is defeating
Speaker 6: my enemies. Then you're going to see his favor, his goodness,
Speaker 6: his protection in new ways. You may be in a
Speaker 6: tough time, but don't magnify your problem. Magnify your God.
Speaker 6: The bigger you make God, the smaller your problems will become.
Speaker 6: And it's interesting when David faced Goliath, he never called
Speaker 6: him a giant. Other people did, but not David. He
Speaker 6: didn't brag on the enemy's power. He didn't magnify the obstacle.
Speaker 6: He did just the opposite. He called him an un
Speaker 6: uncircumcised philistine. Not only did he not acknowledge who Goliath was,
Speaker 6: his strength, his power, his experience, he took it one
Speaker 6: step further and he diminished him. When he said he's
Speaker 6: an uncircumcised philistine, he was saying, this man is not
Speaker 6: in covenant with my God. He's not in covenant with Jehovah.
Speaker 6: In other words, he doesn't have the favor on his
Speaker 6: life that's on my life. I know the favor of
Speaker 6: my God causes my enemies to not be able to
Speaker 6: defeat me. So when he went to face Goliath, he said,
Speaker 6: this day I will defeat you and feed your head
Speaker 6: to the birds of the air. How could David, a
Speaker 6: teenager practically half his size, no military experience, go out
Speaker 6: with such confidence and face Goliath, a skilled warrior wearing
Speaker 6: a full set of armor. It's because he understood this principle.
Speaker 6: David is the one that said the favor of God
Speaker 6: keeps my enemies from defeating me. I can imagine him
Speaker 6: running to the battlefield. Negative thoughts were bombard in his mind,
Speaker 6: saying David, this is a big mistake. This jiine is
Speaker 6: too big. You better turn around. David not only dismissed
Speaker 6: goliath size, he dismissed those negative thoughts In difficult times,
Speaker 6: it makes a difference what you're thinking about. If you're
Speaker 6: telling yourself this sickness is too big, it's going to
Speaker 6: be the end of me. I'll never get out of debt. Joel,
Speaker 6: my marriage is doomed. We don't have a chance. That's
Speaker 6: going to limit what God can do. You've got to
Speaker 6: do like David and switch over to an attitude of faith.
Speaker 6: In other words, this sickness is no match for me.
Speaker 6: This trouble doesn't have a chance. I have a secret weapon.
Speaker 6: I know the favor of God keeps my enemies from
Speaker 6: defeating me. I know God's favor causes me to overcome,
Speaker 6: to outlast, to accomplish what I could not accomplish on
Speaker 6: my own. See, in tough times, you're going to be
Speaker 6: saying something. Don't talk about how big the problem is.
Speaker 6: Talk about how big your God is. Say like David,
Speaker 6: I will defeat you. Say like Nehemiah, the gracious hint
Speaker 6: of God, His favor is on my life. Every day.
Speaker 6: You need to declare this not only so that you
Speaker 6: can hear it, not only so that God can hear it.
Speaker 6: You need to say it so the enemy can hear it.
Speaker 6: Look at that negative medical report and say to the
Speaker 6: enemy of sickness, the favor of God is causing me
Speaker 6: to defeat you. Look at that check book. Say to
Speaker 6: the enemy of debt, the favor of God is defeeding you.
Speaker 6: That child is off course. Instead of complaining, he's never
Speaker 6: going to straighten up. No, say to the enemy, you
Speaker 6: can't have my children as from me and my house.
Speaker 6: We will serve the Lord. When you have this attitude
Speaker 6: of faith, all the forces of darkness cannot stop you.
Speaker 6: You may have seen on the news this week a
Speaker 6: man was working in a convenience story. This robber came
Speaker 6: in with a gun. He told the man to open
Speaker 6: up the safe. The man was so nervous he couldn't
Speaker 6: open it up quickly enough. The robber got upset and
Speaker 6: shot him in the chest point blank range, ran out
Speaker 6: of the store. Other customers that were hiding rushed over
Speaker 6: to help the man. They noticed there wasn't any blood.
Speaker 6: Come to find out, the man had his cell phone
Speaker 6: on the inside pocket of his jacket. When the robber
Speaker 6: shot him, the bullet hit the cell phone and ricocheted off.
Speaker 6: The paramedics said, you a one lucky man. The truth
Speaker 6: is you and I know that wasn't a lucky break.
Speaker 6: That was the favor of God. The cell phone to
Speaker 6: be at the exact right place. If it's not your
Speaker 6: time to go, you're not going to go. Why the
Speaker 6: favor of God keeps your enemies from defeating you. I
Speaker 6: read an article about a man that was cleaning his
Speaker 6: hunting rifle when it accidentally went off. The bullet went
Speaker 6: up through his chin and was headed toward his brain,
Speaker 6: but along the way the bullet hit the man's dentures
Speaker 6: and it slightly changed the course. The surgeon said that
Speaker 6: that bullet missed the main part of his brain by
Speaker 6: less than a millimeter. Had it not had that slight
Speaker 6: change in path, it would have certainly ended his life.
Speaker 6: You may not like your dentures, but you better thank
Speaker 6: God for your denters. Some of you have tea like
Speaker 6: the stars they come out at night. But God, I
Speaker 6: know that's corning you. Listen, God can use your cell phone,
Speaker 6: your false his teeth. You're wig you're bleed to spare
Speaker 6: your life. You don't have to live in fear. The
Speaker 6: favor of God is like a shield. It's a hedge
Speaker 6: of protection that the enemy cannot penetrate. Don't go around worried, nervous, anxious, intimidated.
Speaker 6: The creator of the universe has you in the palm
Speaker 6: of his hand. Nothing can snatch you away. I saw
Speaker 6: on television this group was filming a movie. The man
Speaker 6: the lead actor. He was in a helicopter flying over
Speaker 6: the ocean. In this scene, he was supposed to hand
Speaker 6: something to the people on the boat below, and the
Speaker 6: helicopter came real close toward the water. All of a sudden,
Speaker 6: there was a huge burst of wind. You could watch
Speaker 6: all this take place. The pilot lost control of the helicopter,
Speaker 6: started spinning around a couple times, hit the water, and
Speaker 6: quickly sunk. About thirty seconds later, the pilot surfaced. He
Speaker 6: was okay and was relieved, but there was no sign
Speaker 6: of this other man, the lead actor. A minute went by,
Speaker 6: seemed like an eternity. Two minutes, three minutes, four minutes,
Speaker 6: five minutes later, his head popped up out of the water.
Speaker 6: He told how he was unconscious when he came to
Speaker 6: he didn't know where he was totally confused. He said,
Speaker 6: I want to thank all the rescuers, and especially the
Speaker 6: one that grabbed the back of my shirt, pulled me
Speaker 6: out of the helicopter and gave me that big push
Speaker 6: toward the top of the water. The people that were
Speaker 6: watching they were amazed. They said, what do you mean
Speaker 6: there were no rescuers. You were down there by yourself.
Speaker 6: He looked up and said, then I want to thank God.
Speaker 6: I know it was him that lifted me out. Friends,
Speaker 6: God has the final say. The enemy is not in
Speaker 6: control of your life. God is in control. And it
Speaker 6: may look like that difficulty is going to defeat you,
Speaker 6: but you need to keep telling yourself this sickness can't
Speaker 6: take my life. This cancer can't defeat me. No bad break,
Speaker 6: no disappointment, no accident can shorten one second of my
Speaker 6: divine destiny. Isaiah said, when you go through the water,
Speaker 6: you will not drown. When you go through the rivers,
Speaker 6: you won't go under. When you go through the fire,
Speaker 6: you'll come out without the smell of smoke. You may
Speaker 6: be in the fire today, God is saying you're coming out,
Speaker 6: and you're not gonna come out beat up bedraggled, barely
Speaker 6: making it. You're gonna come out without a bruise, without
Speaker 6: a scratch, without a blending, better off than you were before.
Speaker 6: Now you gotta dig your heels in and say that's it.
Speaker 6: I'm done living worried, depressed, discouraged. I know I have
Speaker 6: a protector. I have a defender. I have a deliverer.
Speaker 6: I have a waymaker. I have a vindicator, a healer,
Speaker 6: a provider, a dream giver, a promise keeper. No weapon
Speaker 6: formed against you can ever prosper Psalm eighty nine says
Speaker 6: our power is based on His favor. If you want
Speaker 6: to be powerful, you got to tap into God's favor.
Speaker 6: If you want to overcome challenges, you want to break
Speaker 6: free from bondages. It doesn't just happen in your own strength,
Speaker 6: in your own effort. It happens when you go through
Speaker 6: the day bragging on the goodness of God, acknowledging his power. Lord,
Speaker 6: thank you that your favor is defeating my enemies for me.
Speaker 6: That's when God will do things for you that you
Speaker 6: could never make happen on your own. I remember when
Speaker 6: we were trying to acquire this facility, the former Compact Center.
Speaker 6: We needed ten votes from the city council members. We'd
Speaker 6: worked on it for nearly three years and we had
Speaker 6: our ten votes. We were very excited. But two days
Speaker 6: before the main vote, one of the council members we
Speaker 6: got so much pressure from the other side they decided
Speaker 6: to be out of town. Him not being there was
Speaker 6: basically a no vote. We wouldn't get the facility. In
Speaker 6: the natural. It didn't look good. We could have gotten discouraged,
Speaker 6: but we knew it's not over until God says it's over.
Speaker 6: We stood on this same promise, the favor of God
Speaker 6: keeps our enemies from defeating us. Instead of complaining, Lord,
Speaker 6: we recognize our power is based on your favor. God.
Speaker 6: We know you can do what we can't do. You
Speaker 6: can make a way where we don't see away. What
Speaker 6: were we do in acknowledging God's goodness, bragging on his power,
Speaker 6: magnifying his greatness. The day before the main vote, a
Speaker 6: young Jewish council member who had been against us the
Speaker 6: whole time, he decided to change his vote, and instead
Speaker 6: of voting against us, he voted for us and we
Speaker 6: got the facility. I asked him afterwards what caused him
Speaker 6: to change his vote? He told how an elderly Jewish
Speaker 6: lady that he had grown up with called him out
Speaker 6: of the blue. He hadn't spoken to this lady in
Speaker 6: over twenty years, but he always admired and respected her,
Speaker 6: and she told him, in no uncertain terms, you are
Speaker 6: to vote for Lakewood having the compact center. He said, Joel,
Speaker 6: you were very persuasive. Your team put on a good presentation,
Speaker 6: but you didn't convince me to change my mind. It
Speaker 6: was that phone call, that one lady. She's the one
Speaker 6: that caused me to change my vote. What's interesting is
Speaker 6: I don't know that lady. I'd never talked to her.
Speaker 6: I didn't ask her to call. But when you go
Speaker 6: around bragging on God's goodness, He'll make things happen for
Speaker 6: you that you could never make happen on your own.
Speaker 6: He'll put the right people at the right place. Our
Speaker 6: power is based on his favor, and that's why it's
Speaker 6: so important that you activate your faith in this area.
Speaker 6: There are enemies that you cannot defeat in your own strength.
Speaker 6: There are obstacles that you can't overcome by yourself. There
Speaker 6: are doors that need to open for you for you
Speaker 6: to reach the fullness of your destiny, But you can't
Speaker 6: open them in your own talent, your own strength, your
Speaker 6: own ability. It's going to take the favor of God.
Speaker 6: And when you have this attitude of faith, bragging on
Speaker 6: God's goodness, God will make things happen for you that
Speaker 6: you couldn't make happen on your own. He will defeat
Speaker 6: enemies that you could have never defeated. God will open
Speaker 6: doors that you could have never opened. He'll cause you
Speaker 6: to live even when the medical report says you don't
Speaker 6: have a chance. His favor can defeat cancer. His favor
Speaker 6: can change a council member's mind. His favor can cause
Speaker 6: the bullet to hit the cell phone. His favor can
Speaker 6: take you from the pit to the palace, like it
Speaker 6: did for Joseph. We should say, Lord, I recognize my
Speaker 6: power is based on your favor. So Lord, I want
Speaker 6: to thank you that your favor is defeating my enemies
Speaker 6: for me. I talked to a young lady. She'd been
Speaker 6: addicted to cocaine for fourteen years. She's been through rehab, counseling,
Speaker 6: different clinics again and again. She would get out and
Speaker 6: stay clean for a couple of weeks and then go
Speaker 6: right back to it. The reason is you cannot break
Speaker 6: bad habits and addictions just in your willpower, just in
Speaker 6: your own strength. Those strongholds are not just physical. Those
Speaker 6: are unseen forces that are holding you back. And it's
Speaker 6: good to do your part in the physical, but you
Speaker 6: have to deal with the spiritual side as well. You've
Speaker 6: got to humble yourself and ask God to help you.
Speaker 6: You've got to recognize your power is based on His favor.
Speaker 6: Without his favor, you'll addicted. Without God's favor, our life
Speaker 6: will be limited, will get stuck. And I told her
Speaker 6: what I'm telling you. Every day, declare the favor of
Speaker 6: God is defeating my enemies. The favor of God is
Speaker 6: breaking every stronghold, every addiction. She got out of this
Speaker 6: defeated mindset. I can't do it, it's too hard. I
Speaker 6: tried and failed. She switched over to a favor mindset.
Speaker 6: The last time I saw her, she had been cleaned
Speaker 6: for nine months, the most she's ever gone in those
Speaker 6: fourteen years. She looked like a different person. She had
Speaker 6: gained weight back, her skin had cleared up. She had
Speaker 6: a big smile on her face. She was radiating with
Speaker 6: God's glory. That's what happens when you tap into God's favor,
Speaker 6: he'll help you overcome challenges that you could never overcome
Speaker 6: on your own. Psalm forty four says it this way.
Speaker 6: They did not get the land in their own strength
Speaker 6: or by their own sword, but because you favored them.
Speaker 6: You may be up against a big challenge today. You've
Speaker 6: done everything you can in your own strength, in your
Speaker 6: own ability, and that's important. But let me encourage you
Speaker 6: when you come to the end of your ability, when
Speaker 6: you don't see away, when all the odds are against you,
Speaker 6: don't get discouraged. Don't let the negative thoughts keep playing
Speaker 6: in your mind. Just keep thanking God for his favor,
Speaker 6: and God will do for you what he did for
Speaker 6: these people. What you couldn't make happen on your own,
Speaker 6: what you couldn't fix in your own ability, because of
Speaker 6: the favor of God, he will make it happen for you. See,
Speaker 6: I couldn't change that council member's mind. I tried my best.
Speaker 6: I worked on him again and again. I told him
Speaker 6: all the reasons why Lakewood would be good for the
Speaker 6: Compact Center. We would help people, We'd be a lighthouse
Speaker 6: of hope. This would be good for the city. It
Speaker 6: went in one ear and out the other. But what
Speaker 6: I couldn't do, God could do what am I saying.
Speaker 6: God knows how to solve your problems. God knows how
Speaker 6: to change people's minds. God knows how to restore your health.
Speaker 6: He's the one that made your body. It may look
Speaker 6: like that financial situation is never going to turn around,
Speaker 6: but one touch of God's favor can put you into overflow.
Speaker 6: You'll have more than enough. God is not limited by
Speaker 6: what you're facing. He's limited by what you're believing. When
Speaker 6: you believe, all things are possible. When you go through
Speaker 6: the day saying Lord, thank you for your favor, that's
Speaker 6: when God can do things for you that you could
Speaker 6: never do on your own. Psalm forty four. Same scripture
Speaker 6: in the Message translation says, we didn't have to work
Speaker 6: for the land. You freely gave it to us. You
Speaker 6: sent our enemies packing and gave it to us smiling.
Speaker 6: You may have struggled in an area for a long time.
Speaker 6: You need to get read. God is about to send
Speaker 6: that enemy packing. Just imagine that sickness, that cancer, that
Speaker 6: chronic pain packing up and leaving your body. God is
Speaker 6: going to send that addiction packing He's going to send
Speaker 6: that debt, that struggle, that lack packing for How about
Speaker 6: that relationship problem, the legal issue, the infertility. It's not
Speaker 6: going to be with you your whole life. God is
Speaker 6: not only going to send it packing, but he's going
Speaker 6: to release the healing, the breakthrough, the baby you've been
Speaker 6: praying about, the business you've been wanting to start, the
Speaker 6: person you've been dreaming to me. Notice how God is
Speaker 6: going to do it? It says, God gave it to them, smiling.
Speaker 6: That's the way God is. He wants to be good
Speaker 6: to you. God wants you to live in victory, healthy, whole,
Speaker 6: free and abundant life. Why don't you get in agreement
Speaker 6: with God and say, Lord, I want to thank you
Speaker 6: that you're sending my enemy's pack, that you're doing for
Speaker 6: me what I could not do on my own. First,
Speaker 6: Peter says, hope to the end for the divine favor
Speaker 6: that is coming. In difficult times, negative thoughts will tell
Speaker 6: you it's never going to change. You're never going to
