I'll promise you we'll make it feel right 46 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 2: at home. I like to start with something funny. And 47 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: I heard about this husband that died and he left 48 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 2: his wife twenty thousand dollars. After the funeral, his wife 49 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: told a friend that she was totally broke. The friend said, 50 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 2: what do you mean. I thought she said you had 51 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 2: twenty thousand. She said, well, I spent five thousand on 52 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 2: the funeral and fifteen thousand on the memorial stone. The 53 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: friend said, wow, that was some kind of stone. How 54 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 2: big was it? She held up her finger and said 55 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 2: three and a half cares. That sounds kind of like 56 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: Victoria to me. But she won't even wait till I'm gone. 57 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: She'll just go do it now. But come on and 58 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 59 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: I am what it says I am. I have what 60 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 2: it says I have. I can do what it says 61 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 2: I can do. Today I will be taught to word 62 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: of God. I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my 63 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: heart is I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 64 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 65 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 2: about Manessa is coming. We all go through things that 66 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 2: are not fair, situations that cause heartache and pain. We 67 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: were doing the right thing, but somebody walked away. We 68 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: came down with an illness, our child got off course. 69 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 2: It's easy to get discouraged and think that's our lot 70 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: in life. Everyone has disappointments. But if you'll stay in 71 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: faith and not get bitter, God will bless you in 72 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: such a way that you don't remember the pain of 73 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: the past. Yes, you went through difficulties, things you don't understand, 74 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: but now you're so blessed, so fulfilled, so happy. You 75 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: don't dwell on who hurt you, on what didn't work out, 76 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: how you weren't raised in a healthy environment. You may 77 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: not totally forget it, but it's not on the top 78 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: of your mind like it used to be. You don't 79 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: wake up thinking about it. You don't go through the 80 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: day bitter. You're too blessed to be angry. You're too 81 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: blessed to hold a grudge. You're too blessed to think 82 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: about what didn't work out. And this is what happened 83 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: with Joseph. He went through a lot of unfair things. 84 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: He was betrayed by his brothers, thrown into a pit, 85 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: eventually sold into slavery. It's one thing to have people 86 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: come against you, but this was his own family. These 87 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: were the people that were supposed to love him. Made 88 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: it much more painful. Joseph was falsely accused by a 89 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 2: lady and put in prison. In the prison, he interpreted 90 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 2: a dream for the Pharaoh, and the Pharaoh was so 91 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 2: impressed that he put Joseph in charge of all of Egypt. 92 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: And Joseph ended up bringing his whole family to Egypt, 93 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: including his brothers, the ones that threw him into the pit. 94 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: He gave them a place to live and provided them 95 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: land so they could grow their crops. One day, Joseph 96 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: and his wife had a baby. The scripture says Joseph 97 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: named his son Manassah, for he said, the Lord has 98 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: caused me to forget the pain of my past. That's 99 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: what Manasseah means. Joseph had been through all this heartache, betrayals, 100 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 2: lonely nights, injustice, but now God had blessed him in 101 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: such a way. He was so fulfilled, so grateful. He 102 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: didn't think about the heartache he had been through. He 103 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 2: didn't live bitter because of his brothers, upset because he 104 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: had spent years in prison. He was so blessed, so favored, 105 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 2: he didn't have time to be angry. Didn't have time 106 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: to try to pay people back. He was too overwhelmed 107 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: with the goodness of God. You may have gone through 108 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: situations that weren't fair. You did your best, but a 109 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 2: dream didn't work out, your marriage didn't make it, you 110 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: lost a loved one. It was painful. Thoughts whisper, it's 111 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 2: never going to change. This is as good as it gets. 112 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: Just learn to live with it. No, get ready, Manessa 113 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,679 Speaker 2: is coming. God is going to cause you to forget. 114 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 2: He's going to bless you in such a way that 115 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: you don't remember the pain. It's not going to be 116 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: on the forefront of your mind. You're going to be 117 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: so filled with gratitude for God's goodness, for all He's 118 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 2: done for you. You're not going to think about what 119 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: you've been through. And we talk a lot about letting 120 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 2: go of the past and forgiving people that hurt us, 121 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 2: not reliving disappointments. That's important, but sometimes it's hard to 122 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: not think about what went wrong. You wake up and 123 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 2: the heartache automatically comes to mind. Through the day, you 124 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 2: want to be happy, but you feel that heaviness reminding 125 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: you of what you lost, of the sickness. You're dealing 126 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: with the addiction. We do our best to tune it out, 127 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: but can be an ongoing struggle. Encouraged, there will be 128 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 2: a day where God causes you to forget You're going 129 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 2: to give birth to Manassah. You're not going to wake 130 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: up thinking about the hurt. You're going to wake up 131 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 2: thinking about the goodness of God. You're not going to 132 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 2: go through the day discouraged by the loss, weighed down 133 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: by heaviness. God is going to turn it around to 134 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 2: where all you can think about is how grateful you are. 135 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: You're going to have a deep satisfaction, a joy that 136 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: you can't explain what happened. You gave birth to Manassa. 137 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 2: When my father went to be with the Lord. That 138 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: was painful to me. I was close to him and 139 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: he was taken sooner than I wanted. But like Joseph, 140 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 2: God has blessed me in such a way that I 141 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: don't remember the heart ache. And yes, I miss my father. 142 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: I don't forget him. Of course, I honor his legacy. 143 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 2: But God has brought gifts out of me that I 144 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: didn't know I had. It's given me talent, ability, favor, influence, 145 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 2: well Joel, I've been through difficulties and I still remember 146 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: the loss, the sickness, the heartache didn't happen for me. 147 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: You may not realize it, but you're pregnant. Manassa is coming. 148 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 2: God hasn't forgotten about you. He's seen the heart ache, 149 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: the lonely nights, the injustice. God has collected every tear 150 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: that you've shed. You may not be able to forget 151 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: on your own. The good news is God is going 152 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: to cause you to forget. He's going to turn it 153 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 2: around in such a way that you're overwhelmed. You don't 154 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 2: have time to think about the her. You're so grateful 155 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 2: for the goodness of God. God not only brought Joseph 156 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 2: out of slavery that would have been justice, but he 157 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 2: had his brothers come back and apologize. They were at 158 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: the mercy of Joseph. He was in charge of the 159 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: whole nation. He was blessed with land, resources, opportunity. Joseph 160 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 2: had influence in favor, his children were blessed. God didn't 161 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: just bring him out, He brought him out in an 162 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: exceptional way where he didn't remember the pain of the past. 163 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 2: We all have things that we need to forget. A 164 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 2: bad break, a mistake we've made to closed door, brought heartache. 165 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: Do your best to not dwell on it. When the 166 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: thought comes up, try not to think about it. But 167 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 2: at some point God is going to do something out 168 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 2: of the ordinary that causes you to forget. You're not 169 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: going to have to struggle with it in your thoughts. 170 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: Your mind is going to be so filled with God's 171 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 2: goodness that that negative memory doesn't have any space to 172 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: come back up. Sometimes people tell me, Joel, I'm praying 173 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 2: for you. I know you have critics. I know people 174 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: come against you, and I appreciate them praying. They mean well, 175 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 2: but I feel so blessed God has honored me in 176 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: such a way. I don't even think about the negative. 177 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 2: My mind is so overwhelmed with gratitude, with thanksgiving. When 178 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: I drive up to this building, the former Compact Center, 179 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 2: and think about how I used to watch the Rockets 180 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 2: play basketball here, how I had seasoned tickets right over there, 181 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 2: and now it's our church, I'm still amazed. Sometimes I'm 182 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 2: flipping through the channel watching television and I see myself 183 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 2: come up speaking. I think, how in the world did 184 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: I get there? And yes, there have been difficult times, 185 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 2: it was hard losing my dad, and people have tried 186 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 2: to stop us. But what I'm saying is, I'm too 187 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 2: blessed to be offended. I'm too blessed to live stressed out. 188 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 2: I'm too blessed to go around bitter. When I think 189 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 2: about the goodness of God, where he's brought me to 190 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: and how he's opened doors I could have never opened, 191 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: how he's called the right people to show me favor. 192 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 2: Like Joseph, I don't have time to think about what 193 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 2: happened back then. I don't have time to try to 194 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 2: pay people back. God's been too good to me. He's 195 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: given me manassa, He's caused me to forgive. Isaiah said, 196 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 2: because you've got a double dose of trouble, your inheritance 197 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 2: in the land will be double, and your joy will 198 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 2: go on forever. God didn't promise we wouldn't have difficulties. 199 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: Sometimes we have a double dose more than our share. 200 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 2: The good news is trouble doesn't have the final save. 201 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 2: The betrayal, the sickness, the loss is not how your 202 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 2: story ends. God is not only going to bring you out. 203 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 2: He's going to bring you out with double double the joy, 204 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: double the peace, double the influence double the fulfillment. It 205 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: says your joy will go on forever. That means the 206 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: trouble is temporary. The sickness, the loneliness, the addiction, the depression, 207 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 2: it's not going to last. The pain is temporary, but 208 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 2: the joy will go on forever. You may have been 209 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: through a lot in your past. Maybe you have things 210 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 2: coming against you now and you don't see how it 211 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 2: could ever turn around. Get ready, Vanessa is coming. God 212 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 2: has something ahead of you where you will be so blessed, 213 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 2: so fulfilled, so prosperous, that you will live out of 214 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 2: a place of joy, a place of gratitude where you think, God, 215 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 2: you've amazed me with your goodness. You've done more than 216 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 2: I could ever dream. You're not going to wake up 217 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 2: thinking about the haters. You're going to wake up thinking 218 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: about how blessed you are. You're not going to go 219 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: through the day bitter because of bad breaks. You're going 220 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 2: to go through saying Lord, thank you for your favor, 221 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 2: thanks for being so good to me. You won't go 222 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: to bed discouraged, dwelling on what didn't work out. You'll 223 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,479 Speaker 2: lie down in peace with your mind filled with gratitude, 224 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 2: so focused on the greatness of our God. I talked 225 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 2: to a lady that didn't have a good childhood. She 226 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 2: was raised in poverty, very poor, and many times she 227 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 2: and her siblings didn't have enough food. Her father wasn't 228 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: in her life, and she was taken advantage of by 229 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 2: other men. It's a lot of abuse, hurt, and pain. 230 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: Her mother would take her to church every week growing up. 231 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: Through all the heartache, through all the things she didn't understand, 232 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 2: she would tell people that Jesus was her father, and 233 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 2: against all odds, God opened doors for her. He caused 234 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 2: people to show her favor and made things happen that 235 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 2: she couldn't have made happen. Today, she's one of the 236 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 2: most influential and well respected people in the world. When 237 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 2: she walks through her house, at a certain place, she 238 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: can look out and see the ocean. She said. Every 239 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 2: time she passes by that place, under her breath she 240 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: says thank You Jesus. Dozens of times a day. She 241 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 2: thanks God for his goodness. She had a rough start, 242 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 2: she was abused, life wasn't fair. But like Joseph, she 243 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 2: gave birth to Manessa. God has blessed her in such 244 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 2: a great way that has caused her to forget. And 245 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 2: we've all had things that could steal our joy, cause 246 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: us to lose our passion for life, settle for mediocrity. 247 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: God is saying to you today, Manessa is coming. There 248 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 2: is something in your future that's going to erase the 249 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: pain of the past. God is not going to just 250 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 2: bring you out. I'm not going to just heal you, 251 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 2: restore you, vindicate you. That would be good, but that 252 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: wouldn't make you forget the pain. God is going to 253 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: do something out of the ordinary, something unusual, something that 254 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: you didn't see coming. When Manassa shows up, you're going 255 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 2: to say, Wow, God, I never dreamed i'd be this blessed. 256 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 2: I never dreamed i'd meet somebody this great. I never 257 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 2: dreamed we'd own the Compact Center. One day, a friend 258 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 2: of mine was married for over twenty years. He came 259 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 2: home from a business trip and found a note from 260 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: his wife saying she was leaving. She had found another 261 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 2: man and the marriage was over. My friend was devastated. 262 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: He loved his wife and for several years he tried 263 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: to convince her to change her mind and prayed, believed 264 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 2: stood in faith, but she never did, and one point 265 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 2: he realized it was over. Didn't understand it didn't seem fair. 266 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 2: But I've learned, don't put a question mark where God 267 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: has put a period. We're not going to understand everything 268 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 2: that happens. Life is not always fair. You can't make 269 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 2: people do what's right. God's given us our own free will, 270 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 2: and sometimes people make choices that hurt us. What the 271 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: brothers did wasn't fair to Joseph. He hadn't done them 272 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 2: any wrong. The good news is God is a god 273 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: of justice. He knows how to not only heal the hurts. 274 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: That would be good enough. We would be grateful to 275 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 2: be restored. But God is so amazing He's going to 276 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: cause you to forget the pain of your past. When 277 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 2: you go through a bad break and injustice, you become pregnant. 278 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 2: Manassa is conceived in your spirit. Maybe you weren't treated 279 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: right growing up, a friend betrayed you. You're taking the treatment, 280 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 2: trying to beat the illness. Life has thrown you a curb. 281 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: The good news is you're pregnant. There's a baby coming. 282 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 2: Something out of the ordinary, an explosive blessing, a divine connection, 283 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 2: a supernatural healing. You couldn't have made it happen. You 284 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 2: weren't next in line. What was that? Manassa God blessing 285 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: you in such a way that you forget the injustice, 286 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 2: you forget the pain, you forget what you've been through. 287 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: This friend of mine, he used to be so outgoing 288 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: and fun to be around, but when his wife left, 289 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 2: he lost his passion. He was a different person. I 290 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: told him what I'm telling you. That is not how 291 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 2: your story ends. God is going to not just bring 292 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 2: you through, but he's going to do something to make 293 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 2: it up to you. About a year later, he met 294 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,479 Speaker 2: a beautiful young lady. When I saw them together, they 295 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 2: were beaming with joy. They fell in love and got married. 296 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 2: He said, Joel, I have never been this happy in 297 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: all of my life. I didn't know what true love 298 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: really was. What happened he gave birth to Manessa. God 299 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 2: knows how to cause you to forget the pain of 300 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 2: your past. And somebody may have walked out on you. 301 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 2: That's not easy. I know the hurt is real, but 302 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 2: it is not the end. God has the final say. 303 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 2: He is going to bring you someone so great, so loving, 304 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 2: so kind, so fun, so good, little, so well off. 305 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 2: You're not even going to miss that old goat that 306 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 2: left you, I mean that person that left you. Manassa 307 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 2: is coming. God is going to pay you back. Now, 308 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 2: get your hopes up. Quit believing those lies that you've 309 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 2: seen your best days. You've been through too much. You'll 310 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 2: never be happy. God has something amazing in front of you, 311 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: Amazing people, amazing opportunities, amazing resources. He has something that 312 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 2: you've never seen, something more rewarding, more fulfilling than you've 313 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 2: ever dreamed. I love that it says God will cause 314 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 2: us to forget, because sometimes we can't forget on our own. 315 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 2: If you've ever had something happen that really hurt you, 316 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: lost a loved one, someone walked out of a relationship, 317 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 2: and unexpected illness, we can do our best to let 318 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 2: it go and move forward, but those negative thoughts keep 319 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 2: coming back. You're a victims not fair. It's never going 320 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 2: to change. We can't totally forget on our own. That's 321 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 2: why God is going to bless you in such a 322 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 2: way that he causes you to forget. In the scripture, 323 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 2: Ruth lost her husband. She was devastated. She was a 324 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 2: young lady, now a widow. Her dreams were shattered. I 325 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 2: can imagine every morning when she woke up. That was 326 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 2: the first thing on her mind. Ruth, you're a victim. 327 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 2: Life's not fair. One day, she was out working in 328 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 2: the fields, minding her own business. The scripture says God 329 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 2: caused Boaz, the owner of those fields, to notice her. 330 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 2: You may have gone through a situation it's not fair. 331 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 2: You don't see how it could ever work out. But 332 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 2: you don't know who God is going to cause to 333 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: notice you. God knows how to cause you to stand out, 334 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 2: how to cause you to look good. A dozen people 335 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 2: can bypass you. God can cause the right one to 336 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 2: notice you and say, wow, look at her, she's amazing. 337 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 2: Look at him, he's outstanding. God will cause them to 338 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 2: see you the way he wants them to see you. 339 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 2: When I walked into the jewelry store and met Victoria 340 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 2: for the first time, God caused her to see me tall, dark, handsome. 341 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 2: We got married, and she found out none of that 342 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 2: was true. Right now, God is causing the right people 343 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 2: to be attracted to you. He's causing the right opportunities, 344 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 2: the right breaks to track you down. Ruth had gone 345 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: through all this heartache. She thought she'd seen her best days. 346 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 2: When God caused Boaz to notice her. He was one 347 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 2: of the wealthiest men in that area. They ended up 348 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 2: falling in love, getting married, They had a child. Ruth 349 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 2: never dreamed she'd be that blessed. She never dreamed she'd 350 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: own those fields with her husband, never dreamed she'd have children. 351 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: Now. 352 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 2: When she woke up, those thoughts telling her, Ruth, you're 353 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 2: a victim. You've been through too much. You'll never be happy, 354 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 2: they didn't come anymore. God had blessed her in such 355 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 2: a way that he caused her to forget the pain 356 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 2: of the past. God has some blessings come in your 357 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 2: way that's going to cause you to forget what you lost, 358 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 2: Forget who hurts you, forget what you've been through. You're 359 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 2: going to give birth to Nanassa. You may have had 360 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 2: a double dose of trouble. Get ready, a double dose 361 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 2: of fever is hitded your way. This is what happened 362 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 2: with Job. Everything was going great, then the bottom fell out. 363 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 2: He lost his business, lost his family, lost his health, 364 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 2: had big boils all over his body. It's very painful. 365 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 2: And Job was a good man. The scripture says that 366 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 2: he loved God and lived with integrity. Just because we 367 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 2: honor God doesn't mean We're not going to have difficulties 368 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 2: and things we don't understand. What Job couldn't see is 369 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 2: that God allowed the difficulty. Satan had to ask God 370 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 2: for permission to test Job, and God only let him 371 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 2: test him up to a certain point. And when you 372 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 2: go through difficulties, things that don't make sense, you have 373 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 2: to remind yourself God is still in control. The person 374 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 2: that hurts you, the betrayal, the unexpected illness is not 375 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 2: a surprise to God. Don't get bitter, don't start complaining. 376 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 2: It's a test. Job didn't think he could ever be happy. 377 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 2: Negative thoughts came and he made the mistake of believing them. 378 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 2: He said in chapter seven, I will never again experience pleasure. 379 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 2: He was saying, I've been through too much. It's all 380 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 2: downhill from here. He was so discouraged. A few verses 381 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 2: later he said, I hate my life. He didn't want 382 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 2: to keep living. But even though he had given up, 383 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 2: oh he was complaining, cursing his future, God hadn't given up. 384 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 2: God still had a plan. Job didn't realize he was 385 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 2: pregnant when God allowed the difficulty. When God allowed that test, 386 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 2: at the same time, God planted a seed in Job. 387 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 2: He conceived Manassa. Chapter seventeen, Job said, my eyes are 388 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 2: dim from weeping. I am but a shadow of my 389 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 2: former self. Maybe like Job, you feel like a shadow 390 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 2: of what you used to be. At one time you 391 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 2: were strong, healthy, full of energy, but now you're fighting 392 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: that illness, dealing with the pain. You feel tired and weak. 393 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 2: Or at one time you were blessed in your business, 394 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 2: you had more than enough successful, but now things have 395 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 2: gone down. You're struggling, barely making it. Perhaps at one 396 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 2: time you had a great marriage, you were happy, excited 397 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 2: about life, but things have changed. You just going through 398 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 2: the motions, trying to keep it together. It may not 399 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 2: look good, but what you can't see is mnessa is coming. 400 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 2: Being half of who you were is not how your 401 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 2: story ends. The scripture says, the path of the righteous 402 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 2: gets brighter and brighter, not less and less. The good 403 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 2: news is your water is about to break. It's not 404 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 2: long before you're going to give birth. God is going 405 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 2: to do something, not to just restore you, not to 406 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 2: just bring you out. He's going to bless you in 407 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 2: such a way that you forget what you've been through. 408 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 2: Job thought his life was over. He was complaining negative. 409 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 2: But some scholars say that that trial only lasted nine months. 410 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 2: That's interesting. That's the same amount of time that a 411 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 2: woman is pregnant. Nine months later, God turned it around 412 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 2: and brought Job out with double It's like Isaiah said, 413 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 2: he had a double dose of trouble, so God gave 414 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: him double blessings. He came out with twice the cattle, 415 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 2: twice the sheep, twice the joy. The scripture says after 416 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 2: this Job lived one hundred and forty years and saw 417 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 2: his grandchildren down to four generations. After what, after the loss, 418 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 2: after the trouble, after the sickness. That means, after the divorce, 419 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 2: after the unexpected illness, you're going to see years of health, happiness, favor. 420 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 2: I can hear Job saying, what was I thinking? Saying? 421 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 2: My life was over look at what God has done. 422 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 2: I'm seeing my great great great great grandchildren. He was 423 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 2: so blessed, so fulfilled. He didn't think about what he 424 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: had been through. Joseph was seventeen years old when his 425 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 2: brothers betrayed him, thirty years old when he took the throne. 426 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 2: Those thirteen years weren't easy. It was difficult, but if 427 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 2: you he studied the rest of Joseph's life after he 428 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 2: was thirty, after he took the throne, you don't read 429 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 2: anything about him having problems, having armies coming against him, 430 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 2: having betrayals. The difficulty was for a season, his son 431 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 2: Nassa had children. His son had children, his son had 432 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 2: children after the betrayal, after he was falsely accused, After 433 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 2: spending time in prison, Joseph lived to see three generations 434 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: in peace, instability, in abundance. He was so grateful, so happy. 435 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 2: He didn't think about his brother's betraying him. I could 436 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 2: imagine every time he saw Manassa, he would say, Lord, 437 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 2: thank you for being so good to me. Isaiah said, 438 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 2: God will restore double and your joy will go on forever. 439 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 2: The trouble is temporary, the joy is permanent. You may 440 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 2: be in a tough time today, Get ready, Manassa is coming. 441 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 2: There is something in your future that is going to 442 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 2: cause you to forget what you've been through. You may 443 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 2: not be able to forget on your own. The good 444 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 2: news is God is going to cause you to forget 445 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 2: right now. He's working behind the scenes. You may not 446 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 2: see any sign of it, but I can assure you. 447 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 2: You are pregnant. You are going to give birth to 448 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 2: blessings that catapult you ahead. God is about to do 449 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 2: something unusual, out of the ordinary, to make up for 450 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 2: what you've been through. Like Ruth, that loss is not 451 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 2: the end. The right people are going to notice you. 452 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 2: Like Job, those bad breaks are not your destiny. Double 453 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: is coming. Like Joseph, those years of heartache are not 454 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 2: your final chapter. I believe and declare you are coming 455 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 2: into years of health, happiness, favor, growth, abundance, the fullness 456 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 2: of your destinies in Jesus's name, and if you receive it, 457 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 2: you say amen.
