1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,600

Speaker 1: to the podcast and thanks.

Speaker 2: For supporting the ministry.

Speaker 1: We believe you're going to have an awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive,

Speaker 1: and favor filled. God bless you today and enjoy the message.

00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 2: God bless you.

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: daily podcast or YouTube channel, social media, and you can

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: come visit us in person.

11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: We'd love to have you be a part of one

12
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: of our services.

13
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: I'd like to start with something funny, and in Texas

14
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 1: we're known for everything being bigger. There was this Texan

15
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: farmer that loved to brag about the size.

16
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: Of his ranch.

17
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: He was in England and met this English farmer and

18
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: he asked him how big his ranch was, knowing that

19
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: he'd probably ask about his. The Englishman said, my ranch

20
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: is thirty five acres. How big is yours? The Texans said, well,

21
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: let's just put it this way. If I got in

22
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: my truck at sunrise and started driving across my property

23
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: at sunset, I would still be on my ranch. The

24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: Englishman said, yeah, I used to have a truck like that.

25
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: No bragging around here. Here we go, y'all. This is

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: my Bible. I am what it says I am. I

27
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: have what it says I have. I can do what

28
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: it says I can do. Today I will be taught

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert,

30
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same.

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk

32
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: to you today about grace for Gsemone. The word Gsemone

33
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: means a place of pressing. It was an olive garden

34
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: in Jerusalem, and workers would put olives into a press.

35
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: They were squeezed and under that pressure the oil would

36
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: come out. You couldn't have the valuable olive oil without

37
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: the pressing. It's not a coincidence that before Jesus went

38
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: to the cross, before he rose from the dead, he

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: had to go through the garden of Gasimone. That's where

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: he was so overwhelmed and so distressed, knowing what he

41
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: was about to face, that he swept great drops of blood.

42
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: He said, my soul is in agony, even to the

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: point of death. He had this season of suffering that

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: he had to endure. He could have given up, said

45
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: father I'm done here. This is too much. He could

46
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: have called angels to come rescue him, but he made

47
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: this decision. Father, not my will, but you will be done.

48
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: He passed the test, and we celebrate the resurrections, but

49
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: the real victory was won in Gasemone. That's where he

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: refused to give up. He didn't get bitter because people

51
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: betrayed him, didn't get discouraged because disciples fell asleep, didn't

52
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: live frustrated because the plan wasn't fair.

53
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: He was squeezed, he was pressured, he.

54
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: Was uncomfortable, but he endured the suffering, knowing that the

55
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: joy that was coming. Real victory is not one in public.

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: It's one in private. It's what you do in Gasimine

57
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: when you're taking the treatment. The child's off course, when

58
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: your dream is delayed. Paul said in Philippians, I want

59
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: to know him in the power of his resurrection and

60
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: the fellowship of his suffering. You can't have a resurrection

61
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: without some suffering. You have to have a strong will,

62
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: a made up mind, not a weak mentality, but a

63
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: warrior mentality.

64
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: I am in this for the long haul.

65
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: I will not give up, start complaining, blaming, doubting, I

66
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: know on the other side of this suffering is the

67
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: power of the resurrection. Peter said, after you have suffered

68
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: a little while, you will come out established. The suffering

69
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: is not permanent. The squeezing, the pressing is not how

70
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: your story is. Gasimony is just one stops. It's just

71
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: a season. It's designed for you to pass through it

72
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: so you can come into the power, the fullness.

73
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: The abundance that God has in store.

74
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: But the enemy would lie for us to get stuck

75
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: in gssemine.

76
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: Why did this door closed? Why is this taking so long?

77
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: Why did my child get off course?

78
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: You can't reach your destiny without being pressured, squeezed thoughts

79
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: telling you.

80
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: That it's never going to work out. God has forgotten

81
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: about you.

82
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: The fact that you feel the pressure, that's a sign

83
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: that a resurrection is coming. You wouldn't be in gasimone

84
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: if you weren't close to something amazing, not ordinary, but supernatural.

85
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: Doors opening you never dream would open, business tracking you down,

86
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: the right people showing up, healing from.

87
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: What looks impossible.

88
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: When you're in a place of pressing, don't let it

89
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: squeeze your faith, outs, squeeze your hope, squeeze your dreams.

90
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: Turn it around and let it. Squeeze the doubt out. God.

91
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: I don't see away, but I know you're making away.

92
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: Squeeze the bitterness out. God.

93
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: They hurt me, but I know you're my vindicator. Squeeze

94
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: the discouragement out.

95
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: I lost this loved one. But God, I know you

96
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: have beauty for these ashes.

97
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: I can't promise you that you'll never have a gaseimone,

98
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: never feel pressured, overwhelmed, betrayed. But I can promise you

99
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: there is grace for every gasemone. The apostle Paul had

100
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: what he called a thorn in his flesh, something that

101
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: he couldn't get rid of. Three times he prayed, God,

102
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: take this away, get me out of gasemone. I'm uncomfortable.

103
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: He couldn't pray it away, God said Paul, My grace.

104
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: Is sufficient for you.

105
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: God won't let you go into that pressure without giving

106
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: you what you need to handle it. Quit telling yourself.

107
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: I can't take this anymore.

108
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: Joel, I can't raise these kids. I can't deal with

109
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: this sickness.

110
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: These coworkers are driving me crazy. You're defeating yourself when

111
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: you're being squeezed. You have to talk to yourself. The

112
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: right way. I can handle this. I am strong in

113
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: the Lord. I can do all things through Christ. In

114
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: one sense, it was easy for Jesus to heal the

115
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: blind man, easy to turn water into wine, easy to

116
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: raise Lazarus from the dead. But now Jesus was in Gosemone.

117
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: He was so distressed that he fell to the ground,

118
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: overwhelmed by pressure.

119
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: You don't get to choose the road you travel. Sometimes

120
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: God will take you to a Gosemone, down a path

121
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: that's uncomfortable. There's pressure, adversity. You didn't choose it.

122
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: We like the favor, the blessing, the good times. This

123
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: battle chose you. And Jesus already.

124
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: Knew the outcome.

125
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: He already knew he would rise again, be seated next

126
00:06:59,160 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: to his father.

127
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: He knew the end, But in the middle, the.

128
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 1: Pressure was so great he still questioned. He said, Father,

129
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: if you're willing take this bitter cup from me? Three

130
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: times he prayed that, but the heavens were silent. God

131
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: never answered.

132
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: He didn't hear a.

133
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: Voice boom out like when he is being baptized, sir,

134
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: and I'm pleased with you. Keep going strong. It's all

135
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: gonna work out. He heard from his father in the

136
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: good times, but in Gaseomone, the most difficult time in

137
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: his life. Not a word, but God being silent doesn't

138
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: mean that he's not there.

139
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 2: That's a test.

140
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: That's when you have to show God you're gonna trust

141
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: him even when you don't hear him. You're gonna keep

142
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: believing even though nothing is changing. When Heaven is silent,

143
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: you need to go back to what God already promised you. God,

144
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm in Gasemone dealing with this illness. But Lord, you said,

145
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: you're Jehovah ra the Lord, my healer. Lord, I thank

146
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: you you're restoring health back into me. God, I'm suffering

147
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: from this child that's breaking my heart. But God, you said,

148
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

149
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: Jesus said, Father, if you can take this cup from me, nevertheless,

150
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: not my will, but let your will be done. It's

151
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: okay to ask God to take something away, but you

152
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: need to add the nevertheless. God, if it doesn't happen

153
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: my way, I'm not gonna complain, live better.

154
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: Give up on my dreams. I'm gonna stand strong, endure,

155
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 2: knowing that this season of suffering is leading to a resurrection,

156
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: to a new level of my destiny.

157
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: God wouldn't have let you go to Gasimone if he

158
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: didn't have something.

159
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: Amazing in front of you.

160
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: There are levels of favor and blessing you can only

161
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: see by going through a season of pressing, a season

162
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: of suffering. Gasimone is not the enemy's designed by God.

163
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: It's a strategic place to launch you to the power

164
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: of the resurrection, to see favor that you've never imagined.

165
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: But here's the key.

166
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: Before you see public victory, you have to win the

167
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: private victory before you see your resurrection. You have to

168
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: pass the test in Gsemone. Had Jesus said, Father, take

169
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: this bitter cup from me because I'm bitter. I'm not

170
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: putting up with this suffering. It's too much, he wouldn't

171
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: have seen the resurrection. He wouldn't be seated on the

172
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: right hand of the Father. Are you missing favor increase

173
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: because you're stuff in Gasemone, bitter over what didn't work out,

174
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: upset over the door that closed, angry over who left you.

175
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: Try a different approach.

176
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: If you win the battle in gsemone, pass that test,

177
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: you will see what God is up to.

178
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: This is not the time to be sour.

179
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: This is the time to say, I may not I

180
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: like it, but God, I trust you.

181
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 2: I know your plans for me are for good.

182
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: You wouldn't have brought me into Gasemone if I wasn't

183
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 1: on the verge of a resurrection, a breakthrough, a new

184
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: level of my destiny. When Jesus prayed that third time,

185
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: the scripture says, angels came and strengthened him. When you

186
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: have an attitude of faith in times of suffering, you

187
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: don't complain in the pressing. You're trusting God when the

188
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: heavens are silent, when you're squeezed, Instead of being sour,

189
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: you're thanking him that he's working.

190
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 2: That's when angels are going to show up. You'll feel

191
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: a supernatural strength to endure.

192
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: When you should be overwhelmed, a power to keep moving

193
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: forward when you should be stuck, a courage to believe

194
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: when you should be doubting. That's how you pass the test.

195
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: You can't pray away Gasimone. Jesus asked his father to

196
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: remove this bitter cup. Father, get me out of this

197
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: suffering pressure. God didn't say, all right, I'll remove it.

198
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: I'll change my plan. Gasimine is a setup that suffering

199
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: is leading to a resurrection, to something supernatural. We see

200
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: this in the life of David, seventeen years old, a

201
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: teenager out taking care of his father's sheep, when the

202
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: prophet Samuel showed up and chose him over all of

203
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: his brothers as the next king of Israel. A destiny moment.

204
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: David heard Goliath tauning the Israelites.

205
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 2: They were all afraid.

206
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: He went out with a slingshot and a few stones

207
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: and defeated this giant.

208
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: Overnight he became a national hero.

209
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: Another destiny moment, he was invited by King Saul to

210
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: come to the palace and serve as his armor bearer.

211
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: He went from no one knowing him to this influential.

212
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: Position the favor of God.

213
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: Everything was going great, one good break after another. Then

214
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: King Saul became jealous of David tried to kill him.

215
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: Here David was honoring Saul be in his best, But

216
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: David came in to a gasimine, a time of pressing,

217
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: a time of squeezing. He had to flee for his life.

218
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: He lived out in the desert in caves, in hiding

219
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: on the run. Wasn't fair. He hadn't done anything wrong.

220
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: David could have become bitter. God, where are you? Why

221
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: did you let this happen? But he understood this principle

222
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: that the suffering was a set up. It was a

223
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: sign that a resurrection was coming. David kept doing the

224
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: right thing. At one point he could have killed Saul.

225
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: He and his men snuck up on Saul while he

226
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: was sleeping. David wouldn't do it. He knew God had

227
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: anointed Saul.

228
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: He wouldn't touch him.

229
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: Even though David was suffering, he took the high road

230
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: and did the right thing. It wasn't long after that

231
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: this Saul was killed in a battle and David was

232
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: made keen. On the way to your destiny, there will

233
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: be these moments of favor God opening doors, bringing right people,

234
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: causing you to excel.

235
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: But there will also.

236
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: Be some gasmonies, sometimes of pressing squeezing it. How you

237
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: handle gasimone will determine whether you get stuck there or

238
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: whether you come into the resurrection. It's easy to get

239
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: bitter when people do us wrong, upset over the medical report,

240
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: sour over the.

241
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: Contract that we lost.

242
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: But when you understand gasimone is strategic, it's necessary.

243
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: For you to go to the next level. You can't

244
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: have a resurrection without a gosimony. You have to pass

245
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: the test. Here's the key in the pressure.

246
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: Any of us can do the right thing when it's easy,

247
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: when Samuel's anointing us, when we're defeating Elia, when Saul's

248
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: calling us into the palace.

249
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: That doesn't take much. Faith.

250
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: Test comes when it's not fair, when people betrayed you,

251
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: the medical report's not good, business went down.

252
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: You're in gasemone. That's when many people give up.

253
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: Blame God. I can't take this pressure. Don't get stuck

254
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: in gasimone. It was never designed to be permanent for

255
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: you to live there.

256
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: It's a temporary season.

257
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: If you'll pass the test in private, then you'll come

258
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: into public victory. And sometimes we're waiting for God to

259
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: change things. Joel, when I get through this suffering, then

260
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: I have a good attitude when the pressure is not

261
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: so much, when these people quit doing me wrong.

262
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: God, if you'll take this bitter cup from me, then

263
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: I'll start believing again. Now add the second part of

264
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: the prayer.

265
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: Nevertheless, not my will, but let you a will be done.

266
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: You're saying, God, I know your grace is sufficient, so

267
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep being my best right where I

268
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: and I'm going to have a smile when I could

269
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: be discouraged.

270
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to have a song of praise when I

271
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: could be complaining.

272
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep thanking you that things are turning in

273
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: my favor when I don't see any sign of it. God,

274
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be good to people who are not being

275
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: good to me.

276
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: When you know.

277
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: God in the fellowship of his suffering, like the scripture says,

278
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: then you're going to know Him in the power.

279
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: Of his resurrection. You may be in gysemine.

280
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: Now God's been good to you, You've seen his blessing.

281
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: But you're in a time of pressing, squeezing. It's uncomfortable.

282
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: People have come against you, straining your finances. A child

283
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: has an illness.

284
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: You're on a road that you didn't choose, facing things

285
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: you don't understand. God sees what you're dealing with. He

286
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: knows who did you wrong, what wasn't fair. When he's

287
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: not removing the pressure, that means you have the grace

288
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: to withstand, to endure.

289
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: To overcome.

290
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: You may not be able to pray it away, but

291
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: when you say God, I trust you, I'm not giving

292
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: up on my dreams. I'm not backing down on what

293
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: you promise. I'm going to stand strong knowing that you're

294
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: in control. That this season of suffering is a sign

295
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: that a resurrection is coming. That's what allows the creator

296
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: of the universe to go to work.

297
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: That's when angels are dispatched.

298
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: With healing, favor and breakthroughs. Don't get stuck in Gysemone.

299
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: That's not your destiny. Earlier that evening, Jesus had dinner

300
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: with the twelve Disciples. We called it the Last Suffering.

301
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: He prayed over them, told them what he was going

302
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: to go through, and wash their feet. He left that

303
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: night with Peter, James, and.

304
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: John and they went to the garden of Gsemone.

305
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: Jesus felt so overwhelmed he asked them to stay up

306
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: and pray for him. He went over by himself and

307
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: fell on the ground, prayed that God would take this

308
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: cup from him if he could a little while. He

309
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: went back to check on his disciples, hoping to get

310
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: some encouragement.

311
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: He looked over and they were asleep.

312
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: He woke them up and said, come on, guys, couldn't

313
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: you stay up for an hour and pray for me?

314
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 2: This is the most critical time of my life. He's

315
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 2: kind of frustrated.

316
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: He asked them again, even more emphatically, please stay awake

317
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: and pray for me. He thought for sure they got

318
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: the message, and he went off for a little while.

319
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: And prayed, and came back a little later, same thing.

320
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: They were sound asleep.

321
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you need people the most, they're not there

322
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: for you.

323
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 2: There's a temptation to think.

324
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: Man if I had them, then I could get through this,

325
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: then I could overcome. But the fact is, when you're

326
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: in gyseimine, it's between you and God. You don't need

327
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: other people. If someone's always rescuing you, praying for you,

328
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: keeping your cheared up, that's gonna limit your growth.

329
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: God will wean you away from people so you'll have

330
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: to depend on him.

331
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: He wants to hear your prayer. You have a direct

332
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: line to him.

333
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: He's always listening.

334
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: Jesus woke the disciples up again and asked them to pray,

335
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: and he went away and came back the third time

336
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: they had fallen asleep. This time he didn't try to

337
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: wake them up. He didn't try to convince them to pray.

338
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: He looked at them and said sleep on. He came

339
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: to a point where he didn't let it bother him anymore.

340
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: He could have kept waking them up being frustrated. Instead,

341
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: he accepted that he wasn't going to have their support

342
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: and that was okay.

343
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 2: He knew he didn't need them to fulfill his destiny.

344
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: When things don't turn out the way you thought, friends

345
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: you were counting on weren't there for you. You didn't

346
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: get that promotion you deserve. The medical report hasn't improved.

347
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: You've done all you can.

348
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: You prayed, you believe you worked hard.

349
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: Instead of letting that frustrate you, you need to say,

350
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: like Jesus, sleep on, You're not gonna bother me anymore.

351
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna try to control things I can't control.

352
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lose sleep over who's not supporting me

353
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: over what didn't work out. I know God is on

354
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 2: the throne. He's fighting my battles. He will get me

355
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 2: to where I'm supposed to be.

356
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: Real victory is not when God does everything you like,

357
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: changes all the negative circumstances, fixes all the people that

358
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: get on your nerves. Real victory is when all that happens,

359
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: but it doesn't bother you anymore.

360
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: You've grown to the point where you.

361
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: Don't have to have all that to be happy, You

362
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: content while God is working right where you are, knowing

363
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: that He's given you grace not just for the good times,

364
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: but grace for Gosimine. When there's pressure, people that fall asleep,

365
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: doors that don't open, your attitude is I'm going to

366
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: enjoy my life despite.

367
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: What was coming against me.

368
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: Yes, there's a lot of pressure, but I'm still going

369
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: to give God praise. Yes, I'm on the road I

370
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: didn't choose, but I know God is ordering my steps.

371
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be in this season of suffering unless a

372
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: resurrection was coming. Well, Joel, I'm disappointed because these people weren't.

373
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: There for me. They let me down. People can't stop

374
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 2: your purpose. If they weren't there for you, you didn't

375
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: need them.

376
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: If they walked away, they weren't a part of your destiny.

377
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: If they were supposed to be there, they couldn't leave.

378
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: If they weren't supposed to, they couldn't stay. Quit begging

379
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: them to come back, Tell them to sleep on.

380
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: God has someone.

381
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: Better for you, someone that you can't get rid of,

382
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: someone that loves you, that admires you, that sees you

383
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: as the gifts from God that you are, that promotion

384
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: you didn't get.

385
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: How long are you going to be sour over that?

386
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 2: Tell it to sleep on. It's a test.

387
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: God has a better position, that medical report that hasn't changed.

388
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: You've done all you can, quit worrying, quit living frustrated.

389
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: Tell it to sleep on.

390
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: One of the best things I've learned is to not

391
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: fight everything I don't like. Fight the closed doors, fight

392
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: the person that did you wrong, fight the delays. We

393
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: end up living in a fighting mode where we're always frustrated.

394
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: Two words can save you a lot of heartache. Sleep on, God,

395
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: you're in control. I'm gonna do my.

396
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: Best and trust you to get me to where I'm

397
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: supposed to be. After the third time Jesus found his

398
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: disciples asleep, something rose up in him.

399
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 2: He said, we have to leave right now. My time

400
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 2: has come. They walked out of the garden and there

401
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: was Judas looking for him.

402
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: The principle is you can stay in Gusemone and reach

403
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: your destiny.

404
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 2: It's a place that you're supposed to pass through.

405
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: At some point you have to rise up and say,

406
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: like Jesus, I'm done being bitter over who left me

407
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: I'm done living upset over what I didn't get, angry

408
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: over the company that hurt me, disappointed by who fell asleep,

409
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: sour over this road that I didn't choose. I'm leaving excuses,

410
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: leaving frustration, leaving self pity, leaving guilt. You have to

411
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: get out of gasmone. The enemy would love for you

412
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: to get stuck there, stuck in blame, stuck in who

413
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: hurt you, stuck in a bad childhood.

414
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: This is a new day.

415
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: Yes it was hard, Yes, they fell asleep, they betrayed you.

416
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: You're on a road you didn't choose. Can I tell

417
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: you none of that stopped your destiny.

418
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 2: All gasemone did was get you prepared for the next level.

419
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: That pressure call you to develop more muscles, greater trusts,

420
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: greater faith, greater resilience. The enemy thought it would squeeze

421
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: your faith out, but it backfired. It squeezed out the doubt,

422
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: the bitterness, the uncertainty. Now you're stronger, bolder, ready for the.

423
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 2: New things God has in storm.

424
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 1: You went through the suffering. Now you're prepared for the

425
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: power of the resurrection. I can imagine when Satan saw

426
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: Jesus in the Garden of Gasimone's hands in his face,

427
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: great distress, sweating drops of blood, said father, take this

428
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: bitter cup from me.

429
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: He thought he'd won.

430
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: Looked like a picture of defeat, like Jesus was giving up.

431
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: But don't judge the rest of your life by season

432
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: in Gsemone.

433
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: God wouldn't have let you go in if he wasn't

434
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: going to bring you out better.

435
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 2: He's up to something.

436
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: The next morning, Jesus went to the cross and they

437
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: crucified him. Looked like it was over. But on the

438
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: third day he came out of the grave. He said,

439
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: I am he that lives. I was dead, Behold, I'm

440
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: alive forevermore. All that suffering was a setup for a resurrection.

441
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: That time of distress in the garden, that place of pressure.

442
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: It wasn't random, It wasn't just a bad break. It

443
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: was all a part of God's plan that would launch

444
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: Jesus into his purpose. Early that Sunday morning, Mary Magdalene

445
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: rushed to the tomb to.

446
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 2: Check on Jesus. The stone had been rolled away, but

447
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 2: Jesus wasn't there, and she was weeping and confused, wondering

448
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: who took his body. She heard a voice asking, why

449
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 2: are you crying. Who are you looking for? She glanced

450
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: back and thought it was the gardener. She said, sir,

451
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 2: if you've taken him, please tell me where he is.

452
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 2: Jesus said to her Mary. Immediately she recognized him. She

453
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 2: went back and told the disciples that he was alive.

454
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: It's interesting that Jesus was dressed as a gardener when

455
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: he arose. He could addressed as a carpenter, as a rabbi,

456
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: as a king, but he chose a gardener. Maybe he

457
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: was showing us the significance of the garden of Gasimone.

458
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: Perhaps he was saying, I made it through my garden.

459
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 2: Stay in faith. I'm gonna help you make it through yours.

460
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: The last place Jesus appeared before he ascended to Heaven

461
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: was on the Mount of Olives. That's where Gasemone is located.

462
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: A few days earlier he was there suffering in agony,

463
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: great distress. Now he's at that very place, victorious with

464
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: the keys of death in hell.

465
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 2: Not suffering but reigning.

466
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: Not in agony, but in victory, not great distress, but

467
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: in all power. Yes you may go through some gosemonees,

468
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: but like Jesus, you're gonna go back to that very
