We'd love 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: to have you be a part of one of our services. 11 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: And I'd like to start with something funny. 12 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,639 Speaker 1: And I heard about this man that. 13 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 2: Was very stingy with his money, and just before his death, 14 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,959 Speaker 2: he made his wife promise that she would have him 15 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 2: buried with the fifty thousand dollars he had saved, and 16 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 2: his wife reluctantly agreed, and at the funeral, right before 17 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: they closed the casket, she snuck in this small wooden box. 18 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: Her friend said, surely you didn't just bury the money. 19 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: She said, of course I did. I'm a Christian. I 20 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: can't lie. 21 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: The friends said, you mean you just buried fifty thousand dollars. 22 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: She said, yes, I did. I wrote a check say 23 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: it like you man it. 24 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do 26 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be 27 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 28 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 29 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 30 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: to talk to you today about help from heaven. We 31 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: all face challenges that we don't see how we can overcome. 32 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 2: We don't have the finances for our dreams, or our 33 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: health isn't improving. Maybe a child is still off course. 34 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 2: It's easy to get discouraged and feel alone and even helpless. 35 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: That's the way David felt. He was hiding in a 36 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: cave trying to survive. King Saul was chasing him through 37 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: the desert. Saul had a whole army coming after him. 38 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: David was by himself. He had no weapons, no protection. 39 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: What made it worse is David had done no wrong. 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: He had been good to King's song. He played the 41 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: harp when Saul was depressed. He was Saul's armor bearer. 42 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: But Saul became jealous. He couldn't stand the favor on 43 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: David's life, and now he was making David miserable. Have 44 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: you ever been good to someone but they turned on you. 45 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: You did your best at were but people tried to 46 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: push you down. You worked hard for a dream, but 47 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: something unfair happening. Now you feel stuck. 48 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: David could have been bitter, angry, God, why did this happen? 49 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: This could have been the end of David, where he 50 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: faded off into the sunset. 51 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: But David knew a secret. 52 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: Sitting in that cave, he wrote this passage in Psalm 53 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: fifty seven. I am surrounded by fierce lines, those whose 54 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: teeth pierced like spears, and tongues cut like swords. I 55 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: am weary from so much distress. He was honest, God, 56 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: I'm overwhelmed. Everything has come against me. I don't know 57 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: how it can go on. He went on to. 58 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: Say, I cry out to the Most Time. 59 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 2: For he will send help from Heaven, rescuing me from 60 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 2: my enemies. David understood that he wasn't fighting on his own, 61 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 2: that it wasn't just up to him, but. 62 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: Help from Heaven was on the way. 63 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: He had seen this when he faced Goliath, a giant 64 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: twice his size. He didn't have a chance. The odds 65 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: against him, but help from heaven came. God breathed on 66 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: his slingshot, gave him supernatural ability, and he brought the 67 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: giant down. He should have been stuck out in the 68 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: shepherd's fields where his father left him, didn't call him in. 69 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: When the prophet Samuel came to choose one of the 70 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: sons as the next king, David was overlooked, left out, 71 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: didn't have a fair shot. 72 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: But help from heaven came. 73 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: The oil wouldn't flow to one of the other sons, 74 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: Samuel couldn't anoint them. Why is that there are heavenly 75 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: forces fighting for you, angels. God has an assignment to 76 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: assist you. What you're up against may be too much 77 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: for you, but these powerful warriors will push back what's 78 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: trying to stop you. They are dispatched with healing, freedom 79 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: and breakthroughs. When you run out of options and you 80 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 2: don't have the strength the experience, you could live worried. 81 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: Now have a new perspective. Help from Heaven is coming. 82 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: Miracles are being set into motion. See we look at 83 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 2: things in the natural, Joel, this is what I have 84 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: and these are my options. Here's the medical report, here's 85 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: the family. I come from. 86 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: What you can't see is what Heaven is about to do. 87 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: Jesus said to Peter, it's dangerous to see things. 88 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,559 Speaker 1: Only from a human point of view. 89 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: It's interesting that Jesus used the word dangerous. 90 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: That's a strong word. 91 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: He could have said it's not good, it's unwise, it 92 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: may limit you. But the reason he said dangerous is 93 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: if you only look at what you're up against from 94 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 2: a human perspective, you can miss your destiny. He can think, Man, 95 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 2: I'll never get well. Joel saw so much vigor, this 96 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: addiction stronger. 97 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: I don't have a chance. 98 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 2: No, instead of giving up, why don't you look up? 99 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 2: Help from heaven is on the way. 100 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: You are God's most prized possession. He chose you before 101 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: you could choose him. He's planned your days, ordered your steps, 102 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: crowned you with favor. 103 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 2: He goes before you, making cooking places straight. He has 104 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: his angels. 105 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: Watching after you. 106 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: You're not doing life on your own. All of Heaven 107 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 2: is fighting for you. When you can't figure out what 108 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: to do, how to work out that's when you have 109 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: to do like David, It's okay to be honest God. 110 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: This child is breaking my heart. This medical report doesn't 111 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: look good. 112 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: And this jerk at work, I mean, this person, it 113 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: works getting on my nerves. But God, I want to 114 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: thank you that help from heaven is on the way 115 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: that you're fighting my battles, sustaining me, providing, protecting, bringing victory. 116 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: David said, I will lift my eyes to the heavens 117 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 2: from whence my health comes. Talked to a man after 118 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: service last week and ask him how he was doing, 119 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: and seemed like he was fine, looks successful and content, 120 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 2: but he put his head. 121 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: Down for a long time. He finally looked up and said, Joel, 122 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: I'm going through hell. 123 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: He lost a family member tragically and dealing with an illness. 124 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 2: He said, I feel so lost, so alone, so overwhelmed, 125 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 2: big tears running down his cheeks. There's a lot of 126 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: pain in the world, a lot of sadness. The scripture says, 127 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 2: God collects your tea. He knows the pain and the 128 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: unfair things, and these times we don't have any good options. 129 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: There's no way out. But can I encourage you? 130 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 2: When hell comes against you, Heaven comes to rescue. You 131 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: are a God's property. You belong to the most high. 132 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: He has you in the palm of his hand. He's 133 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: not gonna leave you defenseless. When forces come to try 134 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 2: to stop your destiny, bring trouble lass. Looks like you're stuck. 135 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: Heaven doesn't stay silent. Angels are dispatched, Miracles. 136 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: Are set into motion. God is fighting for you. 137 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: Turnarounds are coming. Things that you couldn't make happen. Looks 138 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 2: like you're at the mercy of the medical reporter. That 139 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: child's too far off course now, the addictions too strong. 140 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: Or stay in peace. 141 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: You have a defender, a waymaker, a healer, a provider, 142 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: a chain breaker. 143 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: Help from Heaven is on the way. 144 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 2: I was watching this old Western movie and this army 145 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: had dwindled down to nothing. They'd been battered and bruised 146 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: and lost many men, and now they're running out of. 147 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: Supplies, all beat up on their last. 148 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: Leg, and there was an enemy army on the other 149 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 2: side of the mountain, much bigger, much more equipment. They 150 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 2: were about to attack. It was a very emotional scene 151 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: as they were coming to the end and they were 152 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: saying their goodbyes and preparing to either be captured or killed. 153 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 2: They had already accepted defeat wasn't any way out, but 154 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 2: way off. 155 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: In the distance. One soldier saw this dust. 156 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 2: Billowing from an army approaching these horses, coming full speed. 157 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 2: They were confused because the enemy army was in the 158 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: other directions. They got their binoculars focused in. When they 159 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 2: saw the flag, they realized it was an ally army 160 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 2: coming to rescue them. In a few minutes, they heard 161 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 2: the bugles playing. They couldn't believe it. They started shouting, 162 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 2: the cavalry is coming, the calvary is coming. I mean 163 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 2: one moment they were discouraged, thinking they were done, preparing 164 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: to surrender. 165 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: Now they're excited. They got all this power force back up. 166 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: When that enemy army came, it was like surprise, we 167 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 2: are not who you thought we were. We're bigger, stronger, 168 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: more powerful. They easily defeated the opposition. Were sometimes in 169 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 2: life like that, men said, hell has come against us. 170 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 2: We're dealing with a sickness or family trouble or business 171 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: had a set back. 172 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: And we end up bruised, kind of alone. We're suffering 173 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: from battle fatigue. We've stood strong, we fought well, but 174 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: now we. 175 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 2: Don't think we have the strength to keep pursuing the dream, 176 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 2: the passion to keep fighting for our marriage, the endurance 177 00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 2: to keep believing for our healing. 178 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: We're tired. What you can't see is the cavalry is coming. 179 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: There are forces that have your back when you run 180 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 2: out of options, out of strength. 181 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: Heaven is on the way. 182 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,119 Speaker 2: Angels are en route to assist you, to push back darkness, 183 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 2: to open doors you couldn't open, to bring healing, to 184 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 2: bring breakthrough. 185 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: It's interesting that it's called. 186 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 2: The cavalry, reinforcements and back up when heaven comes. 187 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: It's because of what happened on cavalry. 188 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 2: It's because Jesus gave his life defeated the enemy. 189 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: Now he has all power. 190 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 2: That phrase the cavalry is coming because of the na'ts 191 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 2: what means back up and soldiers. But when we say 192 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 2: the calvary is coming, I'm talking about heavenly forces, the 193 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: most high God fighting for you on your own. 194 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: You may be outnumbered. What you're up against is bigger, 195 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,479 Speaker 1: more powerful. But I got by binoculars. 196 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: Through my eyes of faith. I can see dust in 197 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 2: the distance. I can hear the trumpets blowing. 198 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: What is that the cavalry is on the way. 199 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 2: That sickness should take you out, but healing is coming. 200 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 2: That bad break should keep you in debt, But abundance 201 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 2: is coming. 202 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: That family member running with the wrong crowd. 203 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 2: Should stop his purpose, But breakthrough is coming back up. 204 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 2: Forces are hitting you away, Angels with the favor of 205 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: God on assignment to assist you, to strengthen you, to 206 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 2: fight for you. If you could see into the unseen realm, 207 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 2: you would see these powerful warriors working on your behalf, 208 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: pushing back what's trying to stop you, and breaking through what. 209 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: Belongs to you. 210 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: When thoughts tell you and all your stuff it's too much, 211 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: You're too tired. 212 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: You fought too long. 213 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: Just look up and say, Father, thank you that the 214 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: cavalry is coming. 215 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: Thank you, that well from Heaven is on the way. 216 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: Heaven's help is supernatural. 217 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 2: It's good breaks chasing you down, healing the right people 218 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: showing up, freedom from bondages, generational limitations being broken. 219 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: Tewod King's Chapter six. 220 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 2: The King of Syria found out that the prophet Elisha 221 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 2: was telling the Israelites battle plans of the Syrian army 222 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 2: every time they made a move to attack the Israelites. 223 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: Elisha knew it and went and told the commanders they 224 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 2: were always one step ahead of the Syrians. Well, this 225 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 2: king was furious, he sent a whole army, thousands of 226 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: soldiers and horses to capture one man, Elisha. 227 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: That's how powerful you are. The enemy knows it. The 228 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: question is do you know it? 229 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 2: Do you realize who you are and what you have 230 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: that because you belonged to the most high, his favor 231 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: is on your life, that there are heavenly forces backing 232 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 2: you up. The army snuck up at night and surrounded 233 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 2: Elisha's house, and the next morning Eliha's assistant went out, 234 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: and when he saw thousands of troops and horses. 235 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: He panicked ran back in. Woke Elisha up, Sir, we're surrounded. 236 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: There's no way out. 237 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 2: Everywhere I look I saw the Syrian army, not hundreds. 238 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: But thousands. 239 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: He was so distraught, so upset. Elisha said, don't worry. 240 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: There are more for us than there are against us. 241 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: His assistant thought, he must still be asleep. 242 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: He's groggy. He doesn't understand it. 243 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: And no, Elisha, there are two of us, there are 244 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 2: thousands of them. This is why Jesus said it's dangerous 245 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 2: if you only see things from a human point of view. 246 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 2: Because the assistant was correct, they were surrounded. 247 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: It was two people verse twenty thousand. 248 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 2: But Elisha understood that when the enemy comes against you, 249 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 2: Heaven shows up. 250 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: God doesn't stay silent. 251 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 2: You may be outnumbered in the natural, but in the 252 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 2: unseen realm, there are more for you than there are 253 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 2: against you. While you were sleeping, the cavalry showed up. 254 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 2: God is watching over you. Nothing happens that he doesn't see. 255 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: When Sau's chasing you and you're hiding in that cave, 256 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 2: so to speak, you can say, like David, I know 257 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: help from Heaven is on the way. Elisha didn't condemn 258 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: the assistant man. 259 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: You need to have more faith. Why are you always doubting? 260 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: He simply prayed. 261 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: Lord opened his eyes and let him see. He went 262 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 2: back out and looked the second time. This time he 263 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 2: could see into the unseen realm. 264 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: He didn't just see the army that was surrounding them. 265 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: He saw a heavenly army, hundreds of thousands of these powerful, 266 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: roaring angels, dressed and ready for battle, chariots of fire 267 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 2: all across the mountain side. He thought he was surrounded. 268 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: The fact is the enemy was surrounded. You may feel 269 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,479 Speaker 2: like you're surrounded today. What you're up against is bigger stronger. 270 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: It's closing in. 271 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 2: But what you can't see is the forces of heaven 272 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 2: are surrounding. 273 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: What's surrounding you feels like that trouble. 274 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 2: That debt, that cancer has you surrounded, but the cavalry 275 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 2: has shown up. That cancer is surrounded by the forces 276 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: of heaven. 277 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: Your child is surrounded by angels. 278 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: Your business is surrounded by the favor of God. He's 279 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 2: your protector, your shield, your healer, your provider. No heaven 280 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 2: faith doesn't keep us from trouble, but when trouble shows up, 281 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 2: Heaven comes down. God dispatches these roarring angels. 282 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: To watch after you. 283 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 2: Text you to push back the darkness, and Elisha prayed 284 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: that God would make this enemy army blind to who 285 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: he was. The Syrian commander knocked on the door, said, 286 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: we're here looking for Elisha. 287 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: Elisha said, I'm so sorry. 288 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 2: He's not here. You've got the wrong house. In fact, 289 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 2: you're in the wrong city. If you'll follow me, I'll 290 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: take you to Elisha. One lie after another, sometimes you 291 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 2: have to lie in faith. I don't know if that's 292 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 2: in the scripture, but anyway, this commander said, thank you 293 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: so much. He followed Elisha all the way to Samaria 294 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 2: to the Israelites camp. When they arrived, Elisha prayed. Now 295 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 2: God opened their eyes. Suddenly they realized they were in. 296 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: Samaria, captured by the Israelites. 297 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 2: The scripture says, the trap the enemy set for you, 298 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 2: they will fall in themselves. God knows how to turn 299 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 2: things in your favor. I know this mother that was 300 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: so concerned about her son, and. 301 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: He'd grown up in church and had great parents. 302 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: But after college he started running with the wrong crowd 303 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 2: and got involved in drugs, struggled with addictions, He ended 304 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 2: up selling drugs. 305 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: His life was spiraling out of control. 306 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 2: This mother had done everything she could, prayed, stood in faith. 307 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 2: She got him into recovery at one point, but he 308 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 2: wouldn't stay there. This had gone on year after year, 309 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 2: and now she was tired, run down, didn't know any 310 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 2: more she could do. God sees these times you feel 311 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: helpless alone, you don't have any more options. 312 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: Stay in peace. The Calvary is coming. 313 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 2: Like with Elisha, angels have been dispatched to push back 314 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 2: the darkness, to rescue your child. 315 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: To bring your healing, the freedom, the breakthroughs. You're not 316 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: fighting on your own. Heaven is fighting for you. God 317 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: is concerned about what concerns you. A child that keeps 318 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: you up. 319 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: At night, the medical situation, the struggle in your business. 320 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: Thoughts whisper and you're on your own. Nobody cares. Just 321 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: get through it. 322 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 2: No, God knows everything you're going through. He feels the pain, 323 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: he sees the lonely nights. He's going to step in 324 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 2: and do things that you can't do. One night, this 325 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 2: young man was in another country. A drug deal had 326 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 2: gone wrong, and he owed this man a lot of 327 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 2: money and wasn't. 328 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: Able to pay in These people were after him. 329 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 2: His life was on the line, and he was hiding 330 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 2: in a bathroom in this old downtown warehouse. 331 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: He locked the door, got behind a stall, hoping that 332 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: he wouldn't be found. Hour after hour went by. He 333 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: was so afraid. 334 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 2: He knew if he was caught, wasn't going to be good. 335 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: Three in the morning, he heard rumbling outside the building, 336 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 2: people talking, all this commotion, and his heart was beating 337 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 2: so fast. He knew they were closing. In the warehouse 338 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 2: door flung open. He could hear the footsteps getting closer 339 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 2: and closer, people calling his name, Where are you, Where 340 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: are you? 341 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: Then the moment came he feared the most. 342 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: They started pulling on the bathroom door, trying to break 343 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 2: the lock, working, working. Finally, one of the men stepped 344 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: back and kicked with all his might. 345 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: The door came crashing open. 346 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: Slammed against the wall, sounded like an explosion. 347 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: He thought, oh man, I'm done. This is the end. 348 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: He had accepted his fate was sealed. 349 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 2: As he was sitting there, braced for the harm, they 350 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 2: opened the stall and said, we're with Teen Challenge. 351 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: We heard you were in trouble. We came to rescue you. 352 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 2: This young man was a part of Teen Challenge many 353 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 2: years earlier. 354 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: It's a ministry for young people. 355 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 2: Somehow they had gotten word in this foreign country that 356 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: he needed help. 357 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: They got him out of there and saved his life. 358 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: Today he's free and clean, fulfilling his purpose. What am 359 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 2: I saying When you don't see your way out, help 360 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 2: from Heaven is coming. God knows how to speak to 361 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: the right people. He knows how to keep you hidden 362 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: from the enemy, how to rescue you from trouble, turn 363 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 2: your sickness around open doors that you couldn't open. 364 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 1: Maybe you're in a situation like this. 365 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 2: Mother, you prayed, you stood in faith but hasn't worked out. 366 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: You tended to. 367 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 2: Think you're stuck, you'll always be lonely, have family issues, 368 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 2: can't get out of that financial strain. I've got good news. 369 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: The Calvary is coming back up, is on the way. 370 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 2: Reinforcement is already en route. Things you can't explain. Favor 371 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 2: you didn't deserve healing that confounds the experts. Breakthroughs when 372 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 2: it looked permanent, the right people suddenly finding you wasn't 373 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: a lucky break, wasn't a coincidence. 374 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: That was help from heaven. 375 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 2: That was the most tie, rescuing, protecting, bringing you out 376 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 2: of what should have stopped you. 377 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: Luke. 378 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: Chapter one, there was a man named Zacharian. His wife Elizabeth, 379 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 2: had been bearing for her whole life, not able to 380 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 2: have a child, and now they were both way too 381 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 2: old to have children. For many years, they had prayed 382 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 2: and believed to have a baby, but didn't work out 383 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 2: the way they thought. 384 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: They'd accepted it wasn't meant to be well. 385 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 2: An angel appeared to Zachariah and said, God has heard 386 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 2: your prayer. 387 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: Your wife Elizabeth will have a son. You are to 388 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: name him John. 389 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 2: They had given up on having a baby, but notice 390 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 2: God heard their prayers, all those prayers you prayed, but 391 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 2: nothing happened. You think it's too late, that ship has 392 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 2: already sailed. 393 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: You don't know what God is up to. 394 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 2: Sometimes God will wait on purpose where the odds will 395 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 2: be against us in a greater way, so when he 396 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 2: does it, everyone will know it's his power, it's his 397 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 2: favor on your line. Zachariah said to the angel, I 398 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: don't see how this can happen. I am an old man, 399 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: and my wife is well along in years. 400 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: Notice he didn't call his wife an old lady. He's 401 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: a smart man. 402 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 2: Our wives are never old, they're well along in years. 403 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 2: Zachariah doubted, that's not possible. That defies logic. He was 404 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,479 Speaker 2: telling the angel all the reasons it wouldn't happen. The 405 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 2: angel said, Zachariah, I am Gabriel. I stand in the 406 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 2: very presence of God. What he has spoken will come 407 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 2: to pass. Zachariah was looking at it in the natural. 408 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: Gabriel said, I've come from heaven. I have help that 409 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 2: you haven't seen. The most tighed God has. 410 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: Given me his authority. We all face situations like Zachariah. 411 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 2: The sea impossible, it's too late to accomplish a dream. 412 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 2: The problem too big. I'll never meet the right person, 413 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 2: never have a baby. We look at it logically, how 414 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 2: can it happen? 415 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: There's no way. 416 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 2: But imagine Gabriel standing before you, this powerful, majestic angel. 417 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 2: He says, wait a minute, I stand in the presence 418 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 2: of Almighty God. 419 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 1: I carry the authority of the Most High to release 420 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: Heaven's health, to bring about what he is purpose. 421 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 2: All of Heaven is backing up what God put in 422 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 2: your heart. 423 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: And you may be correct. 424 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: It can't happen in the natural, but supernatural forces at work. 425 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 2: Help from Heaven is coming to do what you can't do. Now, 426 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 2: don't talk yourself out of it. Gabriel told Zachariah, since 427 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 2: you doubted, since you're gonna go around speaking against what 428 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: God has purpose, I'm gonna shut your mouth and you're 429 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 2: not gonna be able to talk. For nine months, he 430 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 2: couldn't speak. That's how powerful our words are. You go 431 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 2: around saying, I'll never get well, I can't break the addiction, 432 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 2: We'll always struggle. You are stopping help from Heaven. You 433 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 2: are blocking the blessing. Do yourself a favor, zip it up. 434 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 2: If you can't be positive, be quiet. If you can't 435 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 2: speak victory, then don't say anything at all. Nine months later, 436 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 2: when the baby was born, Zachariah could talk again. Gabriel 437 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 2: appeared to another woman around that same time, a teenage 438 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: girl named Mary. He said, Mary, you found favor with God. 439 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 2: You will conceive without knowing a man, give birth to 440 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 2: a son. 441 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: You were to name him Jesus. 442 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: Mary answered back, how can this be without knowing a man? 443 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 2: Gabriel said, the spirit of God will come on you 444 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 2: and cause you to conceive. He was saying, don't worry, Mary, 445 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 2: help from Heaven is coming now. 446 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: She could have done, like Zachariah, doubt it. I don't 447 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: think so, that's impossible. But Mary simply said, be it 448 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: under me. Even as you have said. 449 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 2: She said, in effect, let it happen. I'm a believer, 450 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 2: not a doubter. God puts promises in all of our 451 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 2: hearts that don't seem possible. That you're gonna get well, 452 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 2: that your children will be mighty in the land, that 453 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 2: you will lend and not borrow. The question is, are 454 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 2: you gonna be like Zachariah or are. 455 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: You gonna be like Mary? 456 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 2: Are you gonna doubt and I don't think so. Or 457 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 2: are you gonna say, like Mary, God, let it happen. 458 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 2: Send Heaven down, fight my battle, show yourself strong in 459 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 2: my life. Friends, You're not fighting alone. All of Heaven 460 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 2: is backing you up. It may look like that situation 461 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 2: will never turn around. Nothing's improving. Can I remind you again? 462 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 2: The Calvary is coming. I can hear trumpets, I can 463 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 2: see the. 464 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: Dust in the distance. Help from Heaven is on the way. 465 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: God has heard your prayers. 466 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: He sees you standing in faith, doing the right thing, 467 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 2: and angels are on assignment right now.
