After the funeral, his wife told a 39 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 5: friend that she was totally broke. The friend said, what 40 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 5: do you mean. I thought she said you had twenty thousand. 41 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 5: She said, well, I spent five thousand on the funeral 42 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 5: and fifteen thousand on the memorial stone. The friend said, Wow, 43 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 5: that was some kind of stone. How big was it? 44 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 5: She held up her finger and said three and a 45 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 5: half cares. That sounds kind of like Victoria to me. 46 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 5: But she won't even wait till I'm gone. She'll just 47 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 5: go do it now. But come on, say it like 48 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 5: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what 49 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 5: it says I am. I have what it says I have. 50 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 5: I can do what it says I can do. Today 51 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 5: I will be taught to word of God. I'll boldly confess. 52 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 5: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 53 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 5: never be the same. In Jesus' name. 54 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 6: God bless you. 55 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 5: I want to talk to you today about Manassa is coming. 56 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 5: We all go through things that are not fair, situations 57 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,839 Speaker 5: that cause heartache and pain. We were doing the right thing, 58 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 5: but somebody walked away. We came down with an illness, 59 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 5: our child got off course. It's easy to get discouraged 60 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 5: and think that's our lot in life. 61 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 6: Everyone has disappointments. 62 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 5: But if you'll stay in faith and not get bitter, 63 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 5: God will bless you in such a way that you don't. 64 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 6: Remember the pain of the past. 65 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 5: Yes, you went through difficulties, things you don't understand. But 66 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 5: now you're so blessed, so fulfilled, so happy, you don't 67 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 5: dwell on who hurts you, on what didn't work out, 68 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 5: how you weren't raised in a healthy environment. You may 69 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 5: not totally forget it, but it's not on the top 70 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 5: of your mind like it used to be. You don't 71 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 5: wake up thinking about it. You don't go through the 72 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 5: day bitter. You're too blessed to be angry. You're too 73 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 5: blessed to hold a grudge. You're too blessed to think 74 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 5: about what didn't work out. 75 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 6: And this is what happened with Joseph. 76 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 5: He went through a lot of unfair things, was betrayed 77 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 5: by his brothers, thrown into a pit, eventually sold into slavery. 78 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 5: It's one thing to have people come against you, but 79 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 5: this was his own family. These were the people that 80 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 5: were supposed to love him. Made it much more painful. 81 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 5: Joseph was falsely accused by lady and put in prison. 82 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 5: In the prison, he interpreted a dream for the Pharaoh. 83 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 5: The pharaoh was so impressed that he put Joseph in. 84 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 6: Charge of all of Egypt. 85 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 5: Joseph ended up bringing his whole family to Egypt, including 86 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 5: his brothers. 87 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 6: The ones that threw him into the pit. 88 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 5: He gave them a place to live and provided them 89 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 5: land so they could grow their crops. One day, Joseph 90 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 5: and his wife. 91 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 6: Had a baby. 92 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 5: The scripture says Joseph named his son Manassah, for he said, 93 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 5: the Lord has caused me to forget the pain of 94 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 5: my past. That's what Manassah means. Joseph had been through 95 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 5: all this heartache, betrayals, lonely nights, injustice, but now God 96 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 5: had blessed him in such a way. He was so fulfilled, 97 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 5: so grateful. He didn't think about the heartache he had 98 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 5: been through. He didn't live bitter because of his brothers, 99 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 5: upset because he had spent years in prison. He was 100 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 5: so blessed, so favored. He didn't have time to be angry, 101 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 5: didn't have time to try to pay people back. He 102 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 5: was too overwhelmed with the goodness of God. 103 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 6: You may have gone through situations that weren't fair. 104 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 5: You did your best, but a dream didn't work out, 105 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 5: your marriage didn't make it, you. 106 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 6: Lost a loved one. It was painful. 107 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 5: Thoughts whisper, it's never going to change. This is as 108 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 5: good as it gets. Just learn to live with it. 109 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 6: No get ready. Manessa is coming. God is going to 110 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 6: cause you to forget. 111 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 5: He's going to bless you in such a way that 112 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 5: you don't remember. The pain not going to be on 113 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 5: the forefront of your mind. You're going to be so 114 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 5: filled with gratitude for God's goodness, for all He's done 115 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 5: for you. You're not going to think about what you've 116 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 5: been through. And we talk a lot about letting go 117 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 5: of the past and forgiving people that hurt us, not 118 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 5: reliving disappointments. That's important, but sometimes it's hard to not 119 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 5: think about what went wrong. You wake up and the 120 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 5: heartache automatically comes to mind. Through the day, you want 121 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 5: to be happy, but you feel that heaviness reminding you 122 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 5: of what you're lost, of the sickness you're dealing with 123 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 5: the addiction. 124 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 6: We do our best to. 125 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 5: Tune it out, but can be an ongoing struggle. Stay encouraged. 126 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 5: There will be a day where God causes you to forget. 127 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 5: You're going to give birth to Manassa. You're not going 128 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 5: to wake up thinking about the hurt. You're going to 129 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 5: wake up thinking about the goodness of God. You're not 130 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 5: going to go through the day discouraged by the law 131 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 5: weighed down by heaviness. God is going to turn it 132 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 5: around to where all you can think about is how 133 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 5: grateful you are. You're going to have a deep satisfaction, 134 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 5: a joy that you can't explain. 135 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 6: What happened. 136 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 5: You gave birth to Manassa. When my father went to 137 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 5: be with the Lord. That was painful to me. I 138 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 5: was close to him and he was taken sooner than 139 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 5: I wanted. But like Joseph, God has blessed me in 140 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 5: such a way that I don't remember the heart ache. 141 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 5: And yes, I missed my father. I don't forget him. 142 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 5: Of course, I honor his legacy. But God has brought 143 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 5: gifts out of me that I didn't know I had. 144 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 6: It's given me talent and ability, favor influence. 145 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 5: Well, Joel, I've been through difficulties and I still remember 146 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 5: the loss, the sickness, the heart ache didn't happen for me. 147 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 5: You may not realize it, but you're pregnant. Manassa is coming. 148 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 5: God hasn't forgotten about you. He's seen the heartache, the 149 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 5: lonely nights, the injustice. 150 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 6: God has collected every tear that you've shed. 151 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 5: You may not be able to forget on your own 152 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 5: the good news is. 153 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 6: God is going to cause you to forget. 154 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 5: He's going to turn it around in such a way 155 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 5: that you're overwhelmed. You don't have time to think about 156 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 5: the her. You're so grateful for the goodness of God. 157 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 5: God not only brought Joseph out of slavery that would 158 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 5: have been justice, but he had his brothers come back 159 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 5: and apologize. They were at the mercy of Joseph. He 160 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 5: was in charge of the whole nation. He was blessed 161 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 5: with land, resources, opportunity. Joseph had influence in favor, his 162 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 5: children were blessed. God didn't just bring him out, he 163 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 5: brought him out in an exceptional way where he didn't 164 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 5: remember the pain of the past. 165 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 6: We all have things that we need to forget. 166 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 5: A bad break, mistake we made, the closed door brought heartache. 167 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 5: Do your best to not dwell on it. When the 168 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 5: thought comes up, try not to think about it. But 169 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 5: at some point God is going to do something out 170 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 5: of the ordinary that causes you to forget. You're not 171 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 5: going to have to struggle with it in your thoughts. 172 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 5: Your mind is going to be so filled with God's 173 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 5: goodness that that negative memory doesn't have any space. 174 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 6: To come back up. 175 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 5: Sometimes people tell me, Joel, I'm praying for you. I 176 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 5: know you have critics. I know people come against you, 177 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 5: and I appreciate them praying. They mean well, But I 178 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 5: feel so blessed God has honored me in such a way. 179 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 6: I don't even think about the negative. 180 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 5: My mind is so overwhelmed with gratitude, with thanksgiving. When 181 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 5: I drive up to this building, the former Compact Center, 182 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 5: and think about how I used to watch the Rockets 183 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 5: play basketball here, how I had seasoned tickets right over there, 184 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 5: and now. 185 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 6: It's our church. I'm still amazed. 186 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 5: Sometimes I'm flipping through the channel watching television and I 187 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 5: see myself come up speaking. I think, how in the 188 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 5: world did I get there? 189 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 6: And yes, there have been difficult times. 190 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 5: It was hard losing my dad, and people have tried 191 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 5: to stop us. But what I'm saying is, I'm too 192 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 5: blessed to be offended. I'm too blessed to live stressed out. 193 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 5: I'm too blessed to go around bitter. When I think 194 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 5: about the goodness of God, where he's brought me to 195 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 5: and how He's opened doors I could have never opened, 196 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 5: how he's called the right people to show me favor, 197 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 5: like Joseph, I don't have time to think about what 198 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 5: happened back then. I don't have time to try to 199 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 5: pay people back. God has been too good to me. 200 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 5: He's given me nnassa. He's caused me to forget. Isaiah said, 201 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 5: because you've got a double dose of trouble, your inheritance 202 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 5: in the land will be double. Your joy will go 203 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:06,599 Speaker 5: on forever. God didn't promise we wouldn't have difficulties. Sometimes 204 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 5: we have a double dose, more than our share. The 205 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 5: good news is trouble doesn't have the final say. The betrayal, 206 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 5: the sickness, the loss is not how your story ends. 207 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 5: God is not only going to bring you out. He's 208 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 5: going to bring you out with double double the joy, 209 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 5: double the peace, double the influence, double the fulfillment. 210 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 6: It says your joy will go on forever. That means 211 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 6: the trouble is temporary. 212 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 5: The sickness, the loneliness, the addiction, the depression, it's not 213 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 5: going to last. 214 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 6: The pain is temporary, but the joy will go on forever. 215 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 6: You may have been through a lot in your past. 216 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 5: Maybe you have things coming against you now and you 217 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 5: don't see how it could ever turn around. Get ready, 218 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 5: Vanessa is coming God has something ahead of you where 219 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 5: you will be so bad less, so fulfilled, so prosperous, 220 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 5: that you will live out of a place of joy, 221 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 5: a place of gratitude, where you think, God, you've amazed 222 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 5: me with your goodness. You've done more than I could 223 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 5: ever dream. You're not going to wake up thinking about 224 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 5: the haters. You're going to wake up thinking about. 225 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 6: How blessed you are. You're not going to. 226 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 5: Go through the day bitter because of bad breaks. You're 227 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 5: going to go through saying Lord, thank you for your favor, 228 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 5: thanks for being. 229 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 6: So good to me. 230 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 5: You won't go to bed discouraged, dwelling on what didn't 231 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 5: work out. You'll lie down in peace, with your mind 232 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 5: filled with gratitude, so focused on the greatness of our God. 233 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 5: I talked to a lady that didn't have a good childhood. 234 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 5: She was raised in poverty, very poor, and many times 235 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 5: she and her siblings didn't have enough food. Her father 236 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 5: wasn't in her life, and she was taking advantage of 237 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 5: by other men. 238 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 6: It's a lot of abuse, hurt, and pain. Her mother 239 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 6: would take. 240 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 5: Her to church every week growing up, through all the heartache, 241 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 5: through all the things she didn't understand. She would tell 242 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 5: people that Jesus was her father, and against all odds, 243 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 5: God opened doors for her. He caused people to show 244 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 5: her favor and made things happen that she couldn't have 245 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 5: made happen. Today, she's one of the most influential and 246 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 5: well respected. 247 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 6: People in the world. 248 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 5: When she walks through her house, at a certain place, 249 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 5: she can look out and see the ocean. 250 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 6: She said. 251 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 5: Every time she passes by that place. Under her breath 252 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 5: she says thank You Jesus. Dozens of times a day. 253 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 5: She thanks God for his goodness. 254 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 6: She had a rough start, she. 255 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 5: Was abused, life wasn't fair. 256 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 6: But like Joseph, she gave birth to Mnassa. 257 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 5: God has blessed her in such a great way that 258 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 5: has caused her to forget. We've all had things that 259 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 5: could steal our joy, cause us to lose our passion 260 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 5: for life, settle for mediocrity. 261 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 6: God is saying to you today, Manessa is coming. 262 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 5: There is something in your future that's going to erase. 263 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 6: The pain of the past. 264 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 5: God is not going to just bring you out. I'm 265 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 5: not going to just heal you, restore you, vindicate you. 266 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 5: That would be good, but that wouldn't make you forget 267 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 5: the pain. God is going to do something out of 268 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 5: the ordinary, something unusual, something that you didn't see coming. 269 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 5: When Manassa shows up, you're going to say, Wow, God, 270 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 5: I never dreamed i'd be this blessed. I never dreamed 271 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 5: i'd meet somebody this great. I never dreamed we'd own 272 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 5: the Compact Center. One day, a friend of mine was 273 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 5: married for over twenty years. He came home from a 274 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 5: business trip and found a note from his wife saying 275 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 5: she was leaving. She had found another man and the 276 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 5: marriage was over. My friend was devastated. He loved his wife, 277 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 5: and for several years he tried to convince her to 278 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 5: change her mind and prayed, believed stood in faith, but 279 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 5: she never did, and one point he realized it was over. 280 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 6: Didn't understand. It didn't seem fair. I've learned, don't put. 281 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 5: A question mark where God has put a period. We're 282 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 5: not going to understand everything that happens. Life is not 283 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 5: always fair. You can't make people do what's right. God's 284 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 5: given us our own free will, and sometimes people make 285 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 5: choices that hurt us. What the brothers did wasn't fair 286 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 5: to Joseph. He hadn't done them any wrong. The good 287 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 5: news is. God is a god of justice. He knows 288 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 5: how to not only heal the hurts. That would be 289 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 5: good enough. We would be grateful to be restored. But 290 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 5: God is so amazing. He's going to cause you to 291 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 5: forget the pain of your past. When you go through 292 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 5: a bad break and injustice, you become pregnant. Manassa is 293 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 5: conceived in your spirit. Maybe you weren't treated right growing up, 294 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 5: a friend betrayed you. You're taking the treatment, trying to 295 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 5: beat the illness. Life has thrown you a curb. The 296 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 5: good news is you're pregnant. There's a baby coming. Something 297 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 5: out of the ordinary, an explosive blessing, a divine connection, 298 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 5: a supernatural healing. You couldn't have made it happen. You 299 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 5: weren't next in line. 300 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 6: What was that, Manassa? God blessing you in such a way. 301 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 5: That you forget the injustice, You forget the pain, You 302 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 5: forget what you've been through. This friend of mine, he 303 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 5: used to be so outgoing and fun to be around, 304 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 5: but when his wife left, he lost his passion. 305 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 6: He was a different person. I told him what I'm 306 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 6: telling you. That is not how your story ends. 307 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 5: God is going to not just bring you through, but 308 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 5: he's going to do something to make it up to you. 309 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 5: About a year later, he met a beautiful young lady. 310 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 5: When I saw them together, they were beaming with joy. 311 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 5: They fell in love and got married. He said, Joel, 312 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 5: I have never been this happy in all of my life. 313 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 5: I didn't know what true love really was. What happened 314 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 5: he gave birth to MNESSA. God knows how to cause 315 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 5: you to forget the pain of your past. Now, somebody 316 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 5: may have walked out on you. 317 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 6: That's not easy. I know the hurt is real, but 318 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 6: it is not the end. God has the final say. 319 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 5: He is going to bring you someone so great, so loving, 320 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 5: so kind, so fun, so good looking, so well off. 321 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 6: You're not even going to miss that old goat that 322 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 6: left you. 323 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 5: I mean, that person that left you, Monessa is coming. 324 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 5: God is going to pay you back. Now, get your 325 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 5: hopes up. Quit believing those lies that you've seen your 326 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 5: bad days. 327 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,719 Speaker 6: You've been through too much. You'll never be happy. 328 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 5: God has something amazing in front of you, Amazing people, 329 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 5: amazing opportunities, amazing resources. He has something that you've never seen, 330 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 5: something more rewarding, more fulfilling than you've ever dreamed. 331 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 6: I love that. 332 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 5: It says, God will cause us to forget, because sometimes 333 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 5: we can't forget on our own. If you've ever had 334 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 5: something happen that really hurt you lost a loved one, 335 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 5: someone walked out of a relationship, and unexpected illness. We 336 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 5: can do our best to let it go and move forward, 337 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 5: but those negative. 338 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 6: Thoughts keep coming back. You're a victim. 339 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 5: It's not fair. It's never going to change. We can't 340 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 5: totally forget on our own. That's why God is going 341 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 5: to bless you in such a way that he. 342 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 6: Causes you to forget. In the scripture, Ruth lost her husband. 343 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 6: She was devastated. 344 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 5: She was a young lie, now a widow. Her dreams 345 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 5: were shattered. I can imagine every morning when she woke 346 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 5: up that was the first thing on her mind. 347 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 6: Ruth, you're a victim. Life's not fair. 348 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 5: One day she was out working in the fields, minding 349 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 5: her own business. The scripture says God caused Boaz, the 350 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 5: owner of those fields, to notice her. 351 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 6: You may have. 352 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 5: Gone through a situation it's not fair. You don't see 353 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 5: how it could ever work out. 354 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 6: But you don't know who God is going to cause 355 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 6: to notice you. 356 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 5: God knows how to cause you to stand out, how 357 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 5: to cause you to look good. A dozen people can 358 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 5: bypass you. God can cause the right one to notice 359 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 5: you and say. 360 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 6: Wow, look at her, she's amazing. Look at him, he's outstanding. 361 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 5: God will cause them to see you the way he 362 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 5: wants them to see you. When I walked into the 363 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 5: jewelry store and met Victoria for the first time, God 364 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 5: caused her to see me tall, dark, handsome. 365 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 6: We got married, and she found out none of that 366 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 6: was true. 367 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 5: Right now, God is causing the right people to be 368 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 5: attracted to you. He's causing the right opportunities, the right. 369 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 6: Breaks to track you down. 370 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 5: Ruth had gone through all this heartache. She thought she'd 371 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 5: seen her best days. When God caused Boaz to notice her, 372 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 5: he was one of the wealthiest men in that area. 373 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 5: They ended up falling in love, getting married, they had 374 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 5: a child. 375 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 6: Ruth never dreamed she'd be that blessed. 376 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 5: She never dreamed she'd own those fields with her husband, 377 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 5: never dreamed she'd have children. 378 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 6: Now. 379 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 5: When she woke up, those thoughts telling her, Ruth, you're 380 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 5: a victim. You've been through too much. You'll never be happy, 381 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 5: they didn't come anymore. God had blessed her in such 382 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 5: a way that he caused her to forget the pain 383 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 5: of the past. God has some bless this seems come 384 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 5: in your way that's going to cause you to forget 385 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 5: what you lost, forget who hurts you, forget what you've 386 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 5: been through. You're going to give birth to Manassa. You 387 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 5: may have had a double dose of trouble. Get ready, 388 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 5: a double dose of favor is headed your way. This 389 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 5: is what happened with Job. Everything was going great, then. 390 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 6: The bottom fell out. 391 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 5: He lost his business, lost his family, lost his health, 392 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 5: had big boils all over his body. It's very painful, 393 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 5: and Job was a good man. The scripture says that 394 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 5: he loved God and lived with integrity. Just because we 395 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 5: honor God doesn't mean we're not going to have difficulties 396 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 5: and things we don't understand. What Job couldn't see is 397 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 5: that God allowed the difficulty. Satan had to ask God 398 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 5: for permission to test Job. God only let him test 399 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 5: him up to a certain point. And when you go 400 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 5: through difficulties, things that don't make sense, you have to 401 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 5: remind yourself God is still in control. The person that 402 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 5: hurts you, the betrayal, the unexpected illness is not a surprise. 403 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,959 Speaker 5: To God, don't get bitter, don't start complaining. 404 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 6: It's a test. Joe didn't think he could ever be happy. 405 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 5: Negative thoughts came, and he made the mistake of believing them. 406 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 5: He said in chapter seven, I will never again experience pleasure. 407 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 6: He was saying, I've been through too much. It's all 408 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 6: downhill from here. 409 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 5: He was so discouraged. A few verses later he said, 410 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 5: I hate my life. He didn't want to keep living. 411 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 5: But even though he had given up, even though he 412 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 5: was complaining, cursing his future, God hadn't given up. God 413 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 5: still had a plan. Joe didn't realize he was pregnant 414 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 5: when God allowed the difficulty. When God allowed that test, 415 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 5: at the same time, God planted a seed in Job, 416 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 5: he conceived manassa chapter seventeen, Job said, my eyes are 417 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 5: dim from weeping. I am but a shadow of my 418 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 5: former self. Maybe like Job, you feel like a shadow 419 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 5: of what you. 420 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 6: Used to be. 421 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 5: At one time you were strong, healthy, full of energy, 422 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 5: but now you're fighting that illness, dealing. 423 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 6: With the pain. You feel tired and weak. 424 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 5: Or at one time you were blessed in your business, 425 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 5: you had more than enough successful, but now things have 426 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 5: gone down. 427 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 6: You're struggling, barely making it. 428 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 5: Perhaps at one time you had a great marriage, you 429 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 5: were happy, excited about life, but things have changed. You're 430 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 5: just going through the motions, trying to keep it together. 431 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 5: It may not look good, but what. 432 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 6: You can't see is Monessa is coming. 433 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 5: Being half of who you were is not how your 434 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 5: story ends. 435 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 6: The scripture says. The path of. 436 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 5: The righteous gets writer and brighter, not less and less. 437 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 5: The good news is your water is about to break. 438 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 5: It's not long before you're going to give birth. God 439 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 5: is going to do something, not to just restore you, 440 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 5: not to just bring you out. He's going to bless 441 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 5: you in such a way that you forget what you've 442 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 5: been through. Job thought his life was over. 443 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 6: He was complaining negative. 444 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 5: But some scholars say that that trial only lasted nine months. 445 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 6: That's interesting. 446 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 5: That's the same amount of time that a woman is pregnant. 447 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 5: Nine months later, God turned it around and brought Job 448 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 5: out with double Just like Isaiah said, he had a 449 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 5: double dose of trouble, so God gave him double blessings. 450 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 5: He came out with twice the cattle, twice the sheep, 451 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 5: twice the joy. The scripture says, after this Job lived 452 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 5: one hundred and forty years and saw his grain children 453 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 5: down to four generations after what after the loss, after 454 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 5: the trouble, after the sickness, That means, after the divorce, 455 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 5: after the unexpected illness, you're going to see years of. 456 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 6: Health, happiness, favor. I can hear Job saying, what was 457 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 6: I thinking? Saying? 458 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 5: My life was over look at what God has done. 459 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 6: I'm seeing my great great great great grandchildren. 460 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 5: He was so blessed, so fulfilled. He didn't think about 461 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 5: what he had been through. Joseph was seventeen years old 462 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 5: when his brothers betrayed him, thirty years old when he 463 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 5: took the throne. 464 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 6: Those thirteen years weren't easy. It was difficult. 465 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 5: But if you study the rest of Joseph's life after 466 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 5: he was thirty, after he took the throne, you don't 467 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 5: read anything about him having problems, having armies coming against him, 468 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 5: having betrayals. The difficulty was for a season, his son 469 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 5: Manassa had children, His son had children, His son had children. 470 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 5: After the betrayal, after he was falsely accused. After spending 471 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 5: time in prison, Joseph lived to see three generations in peace, instability, 472 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 5: in abundance. He was so grateful so happy he didn't 473 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 5: think about his brother's betraying him. I could imagine every 474 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 5: time he saw Manassa, he would say, Lord, thank you 475 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 5: for being so good to me. Isaiah said, God will 476 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 5: restore Double, and your joy will go on forever. The 477 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 5: trouble is temporary, the joy is permanent.

You may 481 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 5: not be able to forget on your own. The good 482 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 5: news is God is going to cause you to forget 483 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 5: right now. He's working behind the scenes.

Like Ruth, that loss is not 489 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 5: the end.
