I believe God has amazing things in your future. 39 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 5: I hope you enjoy this message. I just want to 40 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 5: encourage you today that you have the power of the 41 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 5: Living God on the inside of you. 42 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 4: Do you ever get tired of hear that? 43 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 5: I don't either, and I think we constantly need to 44 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 5: be reminded that God's power lives in us. You see, 45 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 5: you're equipped this morning, and I want to announce that 46 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 5: you're equipped for your unique assignment. God has left nothing 47 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 5: out that you're going to need for anything that He's 48 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 5: called you to do. And not only has he thought 49 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 5: about you. I liked what Cindy said that his thoughts 50 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 5: for you, his plans for you, are good. 51 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 4: See, he thought about us. 52 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 5: He knew our assignment, and he put everything in us 53 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 5: that we would need, every gift, every talent, our personalities, 54 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 5: our dispositions, everything is just right. And then he did 55 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 5: something one step greater. He put his power in us. 56 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 5: He put his power in us. So you have the 57 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 5: Living God on the inside of you if you're a 58 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 5: believer today. 59 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 4: So I don't want you to feel ordinary, because we 60 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 4: all do. Sometimes it's just an ordinary life. 61 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 5: We go to work, we come home, we eat dinner, 62 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 5: we do it again. We get up in the morning, 63 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 5: we go mow the lawn, we do this, we do 64 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 5: it can feel ordinary. But I want to tell you something. 65 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 5: God didn't save you. He didn't call you, He didn't 66 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 5: choose you to be ordinary. He called you to be extraordinary. 67 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 5: And you got to understand, because you have the Living God, 68 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 5: you are extraordinary. You are set apart. 69 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 4: You're called by God and he has assignments for you 70 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 4: to do. 71 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 5: You see, it's so interesting because sometimes people don't recognize 72 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 5: the call of God on our life. They don't understand 73 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 5: the call of God. Or, like I said, we may 74 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 5: feel ordinary. We wonder if we're accomplishing what God even 75 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 5: wants us to accomplish. See, so often we determ the 76 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 5: power of God within us by what's going on around us. 77 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 5: You see, if I was maybe doing a little better, 78 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 5: if God liked me a little more, this wouldn't be happening. 79 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 5: Or maybe if I could just get a little closer 80 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 5: to God, I wouldn't be going through this trial. But 81 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 5: can I tell you something that's the way man looks 82 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 5: at things. In fact, God told the prophet Samuel, he said, 83 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 5: you're gonna anoint the next king of Israel. And I 84 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 5: want you to know this one thing about this anointing. 85 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 5: You're gonna anoint the man. 86 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 4: That I call. But I don't want you to begin 87 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 4: to look for what you think would be the king. 88 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 4: I don't want you. 89 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 5: To look for the man that's the right height, the 90 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 5: man that's in a certain position, the man that has 91 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 5: the talents that you think would make a good king. 92 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 5: He said, because I don't look at things that way. 93 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 5: That's the way you look at things. He said, you 94 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 5: look from the outside. You respond to life from the outside. 95 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 4: But see, I am a God of the inside. 96 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 5: Man looks on the outside, but God looks on the heart. 97 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 5: See you're qualified today because God chose you to be qualified. 98 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 5: He looked at your heart and he said, that's my child. 99 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 5: You know what I love about that is that God 100 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 5: is the God of second chances. God is always inside 101 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 5: of us, working from the inside out. He's working on 102 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 5: our thoughts, he's working on our actions. He's working all 103 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 5: the time. God never sleeps, he never slumbers. He's always 104 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 5: at work in the heart of a believer. David said 105 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 5: it like this, He said, you teach me wisdom in 106 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 5: my inner most parts. That's where you're speaking to me God, 107 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 5: in my inner most parts. You see, God communicates with 108 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,239 Speaker 5: us in our inner most parts. 109 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 4: And I want to remind you today that. 110 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 5: You house the greatest power in the universe. 111 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 4: I don't want you to neglect or not protect what's 112 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 4: on the inside of you. You're not ordinary, you're extraordinary. 113 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 4: You walk with humility. 114 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 6: Because you know the God that you serve. But He 115 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 6: hasn't made you like anybody else. He's separated you. So 116 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 6: I just want you to get this in your heart 117 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 6: today because I think when we realize what we carry 118 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 6: will protect what we carry, we'll acknowledge what we carry 119 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 6: will allow what we carry. 120 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 4: To teach us wisdom in our innermost parts. 121 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 5: We'll understand that we don't have to react to the 122 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 5: boss when he's putting us down, when he's trying to 123 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 5: make us feel less than. We can understand that the 124 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 5: critics don't have to define us because God is teaching 125 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 5: us all the while in our inmost parts. I want 126 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 5: to just use one of the greatest mothers. Since it's 127 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 5: Mother's Day, right, I want to talk about one of 128 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 5: the greatest mothers in the Bible. 129 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 4: In fact, this mother was the first. 130 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:20,679 Speaker 5: Mother that God lived in, the first mother that God 131 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 5: lived in. Her name is Mary. You know Mary, You 132 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 5: know the story of Mary. She was the mother of Jesus. 133 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 5: She was a young girl. 134 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 4: She was about to get married to the man of 135 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 4: her dreams. 136 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 5: Now, somebody might not think she was anything special if 137 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 5: they looked on her from the outside, they could say, 138 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 5: she's just a girl. 139 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 4: She has a lot to learn. 140 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 5: But you see, God wasn't looking at Mary's outside. He 141 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 5: wasn't even looking at Mary's plans. He was looking at 142 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 5: Mary's heart, and he had a unique assignment for Mary. 143 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 5: See that's so interesting because God wasn't concerned about Mary's plans. 144 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 5: God wasn't concerned that she was about to get married. 145 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 5: The invitations were already out, the caterers were coming, the 146 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 5: venue is already paid for. 147 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 4: You See, he wasn't looking at all that. He was 148 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 4: looking at her heart, and he had a special assignment 149 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 4: for her. Have you ever been interrupted by God? Well? 150 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 4: Mary was interrupted. The angel came to her and announced. 151 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 5: That she was a highly favored woman and that she 152 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 5: would give birth to a son. 153 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 4: She said, how can this be. 154 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 5: I'm a virgin, I've never known a man. And he said, 155 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 5: the Holy Spirit will come upon you and God will 156 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 5: empower you to bring forth this son. You see, that's 157 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 5: what happens when you know who you are. You know 158 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,479 Speaker 5: you got God on the inside of you. He empowers 159 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 5: you so you can bring forth the thing on this 160 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 5: earth that He wants you to do, the plans that 161 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 5: He's already established. 162 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 3: See. 163 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 5: I don't know how it all works, but I can 164 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 5: tell you that God is always working he's always working. 165 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 5: And you know, Mary, instead of giving a lot of excuses, 166 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 5: say can we do this a little bit later. It's 167 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 5: kind of inconvenient, God, God, I've been waiting for this 168 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 5: man a long time. 169 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 4: You don't know. 170 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 5: All my girlfriends got the man. I've been waiting for 171 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 5: this man a long time. 172 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 4: Mary said, being unto me. 173 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 5: As you said, she literally made a decision that she 174 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 5: was going to embrace the seed that God had just 175 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 5: planted the seed to promise, and that she was going 176 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 5: to accept it, no matter if it interrupted her plans 177 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 5: or not, no matter how difficult it was. She said, 178 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 5: I'm going all the way with God. And I love 179 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 5: that about Mary. And as I was reading the story 180 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 5: about Mary, I just want to get to some practical 181 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 5: things that Mary did, and I think these things can 182 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 5: help us heard them before. But you know, we think 183 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 5: that Mary just had it easy. 184 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 4: Oh Mary, you know she she was chosen by God 185 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 4: to have the Son of God. So I'm sure you 186 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 4: know she had everything she needed. 187 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 5: But can I tell you it was rough. It was 188 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 5: rough to birth the promise of God. It was rough 189 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 5: to do what God had called her to do. But 190 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 5: God said she was favored and highly blessed. So I 191 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 5: guarantee you she was favored and highly blessed, no matter 192 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 5: how difficult it was, no matter how many battles she 193 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 5: had to fight, no matter how many times she had 194 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 5: to talk herself into it, because God said she was 195 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 5: blessed and highly favored. And God says, you are blessed 196 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 5: and highly favored. You are blessed and highly favored. You 197 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 5: may be going through some difficult times right now, your 198 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 5: plans may be interrupted. I want you to hear that 199 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 5: loud and clear. God chose to live in Mary, and 200 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 5: God chose to live in you. God chose to live 201 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 5: in you. 202 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 4: That's powerful. That's powerful. 203 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 5: Because Mary fulfilled her assignment and brought fulfillment to the scriptures. 204 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 4: God chose to live in his people. 205 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 5: I believe that was a foreshadowing of what God wants 206 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 5: to do in the earth. He wants to live in 207 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 5: his people. But as soon as Mary accepted that seed 208 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 5: of promise, the scripture says that she immediately went to 209 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 5: her cousin Elizabeth's house. Now, her cousin Elizabeth was married 210 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 5: to a man named Zachariah, and they were promised, even 211 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 5: in her very. 212 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 4: Old age, that she would have a baby. 213 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 5: She was pregnant with her baby when Elizabeth got there, 214 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 5: and when Elizabeth saw Mary, the scripture said that she 215 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 5: immediately began to encourage Mary. She immediately began to speak 216 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 5: faith into Mary. Now where am I going with this, 217 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 5: because that was a long time ago. But let me 218 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 5: tell you what I believe God is showing us. That's 219 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 5: one thing He is showing us. When he puts a 220 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 5: seed of promise in you, you need to protect that 221 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 5: seed to promise. You need to get it into an 222 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 5: environment that it can grow. You need to get into 223 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 5: a good church where the people know what God does 224 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 5: and they can speak encouragement to your heart. Because that's 225 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 5: exactly where God had Mary go. He had her in 226 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 5: an environment where that environment knew the power of God. 227 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting, and this is just a side note, 228 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 5: but I don't know if y'all find this as interesting 229 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 5: as I did. But the Bible says that Mary was 230 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 5: at Elizabeth's house for three months. You know, it's interesting 231 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 5: because when a woman gets pregnant, that twelve week period 232 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 5: is very crucial. Many times you can miscarrie before that 233 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 5: twelve weeks. In fact, you know, some people don't even 234 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 5: like to announce that they're pregnant until after the twelve 235 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 5: weeks because that kind of is a safe zone. And 236 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 5: you know, okay, it's it's probably gonna be okay. And 237 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 5: I get to thinking, isn't that interesting that God had 238 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 5: her there for twelve weeks? 239 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 4: See? 240 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 5: He didn't want her to miscarry the seed. See, he 241 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 5: wanted to keep that seed in an environment that it 242 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 5: could grow in a strong foundation. To think about what 243 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 5: God said to you. Think about the dreams He's put 244 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 5: in your heart. Think about him being on the inside 245 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 5: of you. What environment do you put yourself in? Do 246 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 5: you let people talk down to you? Do you put 247 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 5: yourself in an environment that God wouldn't want to be in? 248 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 4: Are you careful? Do you protect it? 249 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 5: You? See, there were many naysayers when Mary showed up pregnant. 250 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 5: See she was a virgin and God did an immaculate 251 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 5: birth in her, but the people didn't recognize it. I'm 252 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 5: sure they were saying, did you hear about Marianne Joseph 253 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 5: go weddings off? 254 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 4: What's Mary been doing? 255 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 5: But you see, God took her out of that environment 256 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 5: and he put her into a protective environment. And I 257 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 5: just want to suggest to you and I today that 258 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 5: we've begun. 259 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 4: To put what's in us. 260 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 5: In a protected environment. It's not easy to birth the 261 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 5: promises of God. Listen, Mary had to go out of 262 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 5: her way, Mary had to change her plans. Mary had 263 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 5: to do some things that maybe a lot of people 264 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 5: wouldn't want to do. But Mary was willing to see 265 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 5: this thing to the end. 266 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 4: It also says that Mary treasured up. 267 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 5: All of these things and pondered them in her heart. 268 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 5: See that tells me that Mary fought discouragement, that Mary 269 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 5: fought the critics, that Mary fought the hardships by pondering 270 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 5: all of this. 271 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:09,359 Speaker 4: In our heart, by just imagining and talking. 272 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 5: To God about all that was about to happen and 273 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 5: all that would happen in the future. 274 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 4: And see, that's what we need to do. 275 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 5: We need to not just run around telling everybody our problems. 276 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 4: Now just try to get man to fix us. 277 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 5: Oh can you help me? No, we need to ponder 278 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 5: what God has spoken to us, get his word, build. 279 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 4: A foundation of truth so that when. 280 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 5: We go out to birth what God is putting in us, 281 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 5: we'll withstand the challenges that are out there. You know what, 282 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 5: this is Mother's Day and I just want to honor Mary. 283 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 5: I want to just say, Mary, God saw your heart, 284 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 5: you saw it through you fulfill the scriptures. And I 285 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 5: just honor the fact that God chose Mary among all 286 00:15:58,920 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 5: the women. 287 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 4: She was qualified. 288 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 5: And can I tell you that God has chose you 289 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 5: among all the people, and He's qualified you. He's chose 290 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 5: to live in you today just like he lived in Mary. 291 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 4: Protect what He's given you, birth, what He's put in you, 292 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 4: and I believe you'll see God do the impossible just 293 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 4: like Mary did.
