Speaker 5: But thanks for tuning in and thank you again for

45
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 5: coming out. I like to start with something funny, and

46
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 5: I heard about this senior citizen.

47
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 7: He was driving down.

48
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 5: The freeway in his brand new Corvette with the top down,

49
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 5: going eighty miles an hour when he saw flashing lights

50
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 5: from a state trooper behind him. Without thinking about it,

51
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 5: he floored it took off to one hundred miles an hour.

52
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 5: The trooper flipped on his sirens. The men came to

53
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 5: his senses and pulled over. He said, Officer, I am

54
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 5: so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. The

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 5: state trooper said, listen, sir, it's Friday, four o'clock.

56
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 7: My shift is over in thirty minutes.

57
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 5: If you'll tell me a reason why you were speeding

58
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 5: that I've never heard before, then I'll let you go.

59
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 5: The men thought about it and said, Officer, years ago,

60
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 5: my wife ran off with a state trooper, and I

61
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 5: thought you were bringing her back.

62
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 7: The officer said, have a great weekend.

63
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 5: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

64
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 5: I am what it says I am. I have what

65
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 5: it says I have. I can do what it says

66
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 5: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

67
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 5: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my

68
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 5: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

69
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 5: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

70
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 5: about it's not over. It's easy to give up on

71
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 5: our dreams and think I'll never get well, I'll never

72
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 5: meet the right person, never get out of this problem.

73
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 7: It's been too long.

74
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 5: I've missed too many opportunities. I've made too many mistakes.

75
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 7: Now God is saying it's not over.

76
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 5: Everything he promised you, every dream he's placed on the inside.

77
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 5: He still has every intention of bringing it to pass.

78
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 5: Your mind will tell you all the reasons why it's

79
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 5: not going to happen. Just accept it. It's too late,

80
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 5: it's not going to work out. But God has the

81
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 5: final say, and he's saying, I'm still going to heal

82
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 5: your body. I'm still going to bring the right person

83
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 5: into your life. I'm still going to restore that marriage.

84
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 5: What God started, he will finish. Couple I know tried.

85
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 7: For seven years to have a baby.

86
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 5: They went through all the fertility treatments without success. They

87
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 5: were finally told no chance. That was one report, but

88
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 5: God had another report. He said it's not over. One day,

89
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 5: against all odds, the young lady got pregnant. Two years later,

90
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 5: they brought their baby daughter right here for us to dedicate.

91
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 5: What was that God finishing what he started. I met

92
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 5: these parents in the lobby recently. They had their son

93
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 5: with them. He looked to be in his early thirties.

94
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 5: The mother told how they had been a strained for

95
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 5: twelve years and not seen each other. Every day, this

96
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 5: mother would pray month after month, year after year.

97
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 7: Didn't look like it was doing any good.

98
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 5: But about two weeks ago, unexpectedly, the sun knocked on

99
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 5: the parents' front door.

100
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 7: They reconciled.

101
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 5: The first thing they wanted to do together was to

102
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 5: come to church. The mother said, this is the happiest

103
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 5: day of my life. Is there something that you've given

104
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 5: up on you think is never going to work out?

105
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 7: Let these words sink deep into your spirit. It's not over.

106
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 5: God has not brought you this far to leave you.

107
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 5: Just because you don't see a way doesn't mean God

108
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 5: doesn't have a way.

109
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 7: Right now, the most powerful force in.

110
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 5: The universe is at work in your life.

111
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 7: God is about to do a new thing. What you

112
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 7: thought was dead.

113
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 5: Dreams you've given up on, promises you've let go of,

114
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 5: are about to come back to life. God knows how

115
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 5: to resurrect dead dreams, that baby you were believing for,

116
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 5: or that dream to own your own house, to get married.

117
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 7: To start that business.

118
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 5: You may think, well, it's too late, I've missed too

119
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 5: many opportunities.

120
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: Now.

121
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 5: You may have given up, but God didn't give up.

122
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 5: He's about to breathe new life into your dreams, into

123
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 5: your health, into your relationships. You're going to feel a stirring,

124
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 5: a new passion, a new excitement. That's God resurrecting what

125
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 5: he's placed on the inside. And when thoughts tell you

126
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 5: that it's not going to happen, just answer them back.

127
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 7: No, I know a secret. It's not over.

128
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 5: When you're still single, Yes, but it's not over. The

129
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 5: right person is coming. You're still not well, yes, but

130
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 5: it's not over.

131
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 7: Healing is headed my way.

132
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 5: You're still in that small apartment, Yes, but it's not over.

133
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 7: My new house is coming.

134
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 5: Your child is still off course, Yes, but it's not over.

135
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 7: As for me and my house, we will serve the

136
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 7: Lord for God.

137
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 5: To get in agreement with God, start dreaming again, start

138
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 5: believing again, start expecting again. Gentlemen told me how his

139
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 5: business had really gone down. He owned a manufacturing company.

140
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: There was one main competitor in town. It was a

141
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 5: national company. They were much larger and had a lot

142
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 5: more resources. Several years ago, when the economy went down,

143
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 5: it made it more and more difficult for him to

144
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 5: stay open. In the natural it was just a matter

145
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 5: of time before he would have to close. He was

146
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 5: tempted to get discouraged, but he knew God put this

147
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 5: dream in his heart. He kept being his best, believing

148
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 5: that somehow God would make a way. Just when he

149
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 5: thought he would have to close, this national company had

150
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 5: a change in leadership and they decided to pull out

151
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 5: of this market. Instead of him closing down, his main

152
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 5: competitor closed down. Now he's breaking all kinds of records.

153
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: He said, Joel, if if you would have told me

154
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 5: last year that I would be doing three times the business,

155
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 5: I would have said, that's impossible. What happened, God breathed

156
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 5: in his direction. You may not be able to beat

157
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 5: the competition.

158
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 7: You don't know. God may remove the competition. He has all.

159
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 5: Kinds of ways to get you to your destiny. And

160
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 5: the scripture talks about the death, the burial, and the resurrection.

161
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 5: If you're going to see a resurrection, you can't get

162
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 5: stuck in the first two phases.

163
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 7: This is where many people miss it.

164
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 5: They have a set back, something doesn't work out, they

165
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 5: get discouraged, quit believing. They end up stuck in the

166
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 5: death phase, so to speak. I've seen people that go

167
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 5: through a disappointment instead of letting it go knowing that

168
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 5: God has something better, they get better.

169
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,359
Speaker 7: Well, my business got slow, didn't.

170
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 5: Get the scholarship, the relationship didn't work out.

171
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 7: That's why I'm discouraged.

172
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 5: No, you've been through the death, You've been through the buryer.

173
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 5: Don't stop there. Go on to phase three.

174
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 7: You've got a resurrection coming.

175
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 5: Start expecting God favor. God wants to give you beauty

176
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 5: for those ashes. That setback was never meant to defeat you.

177
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 5: It was meant to promote you. And it may be

178
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 5: Friday in your life. Right now looks kind of dark.

179
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 5: Business is slow, the medical report hasn't improved. My encouragement is,

180
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 5: don't get stuck on Friday.

181
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 7: Sunday is coming.

182
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 5: Get ready for God to do something new. Your story

183
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 5: does not end in defeat. It ends in victory, with

184
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 5: you accomplishing your dreams, fulfilling your purpose, healthy hole, being

185
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 5: a blessing to others, And if you will stay in faith.

186
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 5: What was meant for your harm God will use to

187
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 5: your advantage.

188
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 7: God has the final say.

189
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 5: People cannot stop God's plan for your life. Bad breaks

190
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 5: can't stop it. Injustice can't stop. Even mistakes you've made

191
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 5: don't have to stop it. God has already taken that

192
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 5: into account, and he's saying it's not over.

193
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 7: I'm going to finish what I started.

194
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 5: We see this principle way back with the first family

195
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 5: that ever lived, Adam and Eve.

196
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 7: They were in the garden of Eden.

197
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 5: They were happy and healthy, everything going great until Eve

198
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 5: was deceived by the serpent. She convinced her husband Adam,

199
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 5: to eat fruit from the forbidden tree. When they did,

200
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 5: they immediately knew they had done wrong. They ran and hid.

201
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 5: God came looking and said, Adam, where are you. They

202
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 5: were afraid they had blown it. It was their fault.

203
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 5: They thought, surely God's done with us. But it's interesting

204
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 5: God came looking for them. You hear people say I

205
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 5: found God. But the truth is God wasn't lost. He

206
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 5: came looking for you before you could choose him.

207
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 7: Here's the beauty.

208
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 5: Even when we make mistakes, even when we blow it, God.

209
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 7: Says, where are you? I want to be in relationship

210
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 7: with you. Don't run away from God. Run to him.

211
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 5: Adam said, God, we did wrong, we ate the fruit.

212
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 5: God said, I know it. They had to stay out

213
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 5: of the garden. The story could have ended there, too bad.

214
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 5: You had your chance.

215
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 7: It's over. But no matter what.

216
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 5: You've done, your life is not supposed to end in defeat,

217
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 5: in failure, in mediocrity.

218
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 7: It's not over. There is mercy for every mistake. Genesis

219
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 7: three says the seed.

220
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 5: Of the woman will rise up and bruise the head

221
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 5: of the serpent.

222
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 7: God was saying, Eve, this.

223
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 5: Serpent that tricked you, he deceived you and brought all

224
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 5: this heartache and pain. I'm going to make him pay

225
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 5: for bringing that trouble into your life.

226
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 7: He's not going to have the last word. He's laughing.

227
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 5: He's having a party now, but he's not going to

228
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 5: stay laughing.

229
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 4: Eve.

230
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 7: This is your chance to settle the score. This is

231
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 7: your chance to get even. I'm going to have your

232
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 7: seed bruce his head.

233
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 5: This was a prophecy if you will spoken over Eve,

234
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 5: was a promise God put in her heart. You can

235
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 5: imagine how excited Eve was when she learned that she

236
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 5: was pregnant. She thought, this is the child that will

237
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 5: vindicate me. This child will make things right. She gave

238
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 5: birth to two sons on the same.

239
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 7: Day, Cain and Abel. She didn't know which one it

240
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 7: would be. Cain was a farmer.

241
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 5: Abel was a shepherd, and she did her best to

242
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 5: raise her boys ride and teach them to love God.

243
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 5: But over time Cain became very jealous of Abel. One day,

244
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 5: Cain was out in his field plowing the ground. Abel

245
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 5: came to see him, and Cain ended up killing Abel,

246
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 5: the first murder of the Bible. Because of this offense,

247
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 5: Cain had to be sent.

248
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 7: To another country.

249
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 5: Eve didn't just lose one son, She lost both sons

250
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 5: on the same day. The problem is Eve's circumstances don't

251
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 5: match up with what God has spoken over her. God

252
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 5: said the seed of a woman would bruise the serpent's head.

253
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 5: Didn't look like it was going to happen. One son

254
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 5: was dead, one was sent away. As devastated as Eve

255
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 5: was down deep, something said to her.

256
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 7: This is not the way your story is supposed to end.

257
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 5: There are times in life where your circumstances won't match

258
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 5: up with what God has put in your heart. Every

259
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 5: voice will tell you it's not going to happen. Just

260
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 5: accept it, Just settle there. You'll always be lonely, you'll

261
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 5: always have that addiction, you'll always struggle in your finances. No,

262
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 5: don't believe those lies. That is not the end of

263
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 5: your story.

264
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 7: You may have gone.

265
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 5: Through a loss, had a bad break, it was unfair,

266
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 5: but know this, it's not over. The enemy may be

267
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 5: laughing now, but don't worry.

268
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 7: Your time is coming.

269
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 5: Vindication is coming, Restoration is coming, healing is coming. It

270
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 5: may be Friday, but Sunday is on the way. Eve

271
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 5: is at this turning point. Is she going to believe

272
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 5: what God has spoken over her? Or is she going

273
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 5: to get discouraged and settle. God said the promise would

274
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 5: come through her seed. That means she would have to

275
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 5: get pregnant again. If your children just got into an

276
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 5: argument and one killed the other, do you know how

277
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 5: difficult it would be to have a baby. Sometimes in

278
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 5: order to move forward, you have to risk being hurt again,

279
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 5: risk loving again, risk trusting again. This is what Eve did.

280
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 5: She became pregnant. She said in Genesis four twenty five,

281
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 5: God has appointed me another seed. She was saying, I've

282
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 5: had the wind knocked out of me. Life hasn't turned

283
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 5: out my way. But I'm not going to stay down.

284
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 5: I'm not going to get bitter. I'm not going to

285
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 5: give up on my dreams. I know God has the

286
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 5: final say, and it's not over. He said, He's appointed

287
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 5: another seed. In your difficult times, when life doesn't turn

288
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 5: out your way, you have to remind yourself that is

289
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 5: not the end. For everything you've lost, for everything that

290
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 5: is taken, God has already.

291
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 7: Appointed another seed.

292
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 5: Your story is not going to end in defeat, in.

293
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 7: Failure, in mediocrity.

294
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 5: It's going to end with you bruising the serpent's head.

295
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 5: It's going to end with God paying you back for

296
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 5: that trouble, bringing you out better off than you were before.

297
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 5: You may be at an empty place right now. You've

298
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 5: lost something. You're tempted to settle, but you've got to

299
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 5: get your fire back. God has appointed another seed, another dream, another.

300
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 7: Relationship, another opportunity.

301
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 5: You are not going to die empty lonely depressed. That

302
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 5: difficulty is a sure sign that something.

303
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 7: Amazing is in your future.

304
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 5: And Eve ended up giving birth to another son. They

305
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 5: named him Seth. It was through Seth's family line that Jesus, Christ,

306
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 5: the Messiah, came.

307
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 7: The promise was fulfilled.

308
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 5: This story with Cain and Abel is foreshadowing what Christ

309
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 5: would do.

310
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 7: It's a picture of what was to come.

311
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 5: Abel, an innocent man, went to Cain's field where he

312
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 5: was killed in the same way Jesus, an innocent man,

313
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 5: left Heaven. He left eternity where he had already kicked

314
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 5: Satan out, and he said, Satan, I'm going to take

315
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 5: off all my majesty, all my glory, and I'm going

316
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 5: to come down as the son of man and defeat you.

317
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 7: On your own turf.

318
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 5: When Cain killed Abel, Abel was a young man. It

319
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 5: was a premature death, the first in the scripture. All

320
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 5: of Heaven was stunned. At thirty three years of age. Jesus,

321
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 5: a young man, was crucified on the cross.

322
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 7: All of Hell cheered.

323
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 5: They thought Jesus had overstepped his bounds. They were thinking, hey,

324
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 5: he beat us on his turf. But we had the

325
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 5: last laugh. We beat him on our turf. Scripture says

326
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 5: God came to Cain and said, Cain, the voice of

327
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 5: your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground.

328
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 7: See.

329
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 5: Cain thought that he had finished off his brother. He

330
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 5: thought that he had the last word. He didn't realize

331
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 5: that the blood of his brother was crying out for justice.

332
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 5: In other words, he may have killed his body, but

333
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 5: his blood was still speaking. Little over two thousand years ago,

334
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 5: the soldiers crucified Jesus. Satan thought that it was over,

335
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 5: that he had finally finished him off. But what he

336
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 5: didn't realize is that Jesus' blood would still be speaking today.

337
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 5: They killed his body, but the blood speaks. The blood

338
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 5: says we're redeemed. The blood says we're forgiven.

339
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 7: The blood is more powerful than any sickness. The blood

340
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 7: is greater than any opposition.

341
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 5: Satan and all the demons, we're having this big party,

342
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 5: giving high fives, confetti coming down, champagne flowing. But in

343
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 5: the midst of the celebration they see this figure coming

344
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 5: from a distance.

345
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 7: They don't know who he is. They take a quick count,

346
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 7: and they're all accounted for it. This person is different.

347
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 5: His eyes are like fire, his hair as white as wool,

348
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 5: his face radiating with such brilliance they have to turn away.

349
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 5: He gets a little closer, and one of them.

350
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 7: Says, uh, oh, it's him.

351
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 5: Their heart skips a beat they shrink back in fear.

352
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 7: Just when they thought it couldn't get any worse, the

353
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 7: music kicks in.

354
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 5: This is my version. They thought they had killed Jesus.

355
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 5: They thought they had finished him off once and for all.

356
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 5: But Jesus said, hey, put the celebration on hold. Stop

357
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 5: the confetti, blow out the candles. I've got an announcement

358
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 5: to make.

359
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 7: It's not over.

360
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 5: I'm still alive, Jesus. Jesus was the original party crasher.

361
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 5: He went in, defeated the enemy, took away the keys

362
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 5: of death in hell. He drugged Satan through the corridors

363
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 5: so all the forces of darkness could see him. Dethroned, demoralized, powerless,

364
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 5: Jesus rose up and said, I.

365
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 7: Am he that lives.

366
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 5: I was dead, but I'm alive forevermore So, if he lives,

367
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: we can live. The same power that raised him up

368
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 5: is on the inside of you and me. You are

369
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 5: not weak, You are not lacking.

370
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 7: You are full of resurrection power.

371
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 5: No obstacles too big for you, no dream too great,

372
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 5: no sickness too powerful.

373
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 7: You have the greatest force in the universe on the inside.

374
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 7: And when it.

375
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 5: Doesn't look good, thoughts start telling you that it's over.

376
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 5: Just put your shoulders back, get a second wind by faith.

377
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 7: Here that music kicking in.

378
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 5: That means God is fighting for you. That's his blood

379
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 5: still speaking. It's saying you've got a right to be free.

380
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 5: You've got a right to live healthy, whole, blessed, victorious.

381
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 5: No matter what comes your way in life, you gotta

382
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 5: have this attitude.

383
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 7: It's not over.

384
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 5: The enemy may hit you with his best shot, but

385
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 5: his best will never be enough.

386
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 7: When it's all said and done, you'll still be sand

387
00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 7: and strong and just as Abel's blood out for justice.

388
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 5: When somebody does you wrong, you go through a bad break,

389
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 5: you're dealing with the sickness. You have an advantage because

390
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 5: you're a child of the most High. His blood is

391
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 5: crying out for you. What you're going through does not

392
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 5: go unnoticed. God sees every tear, every lonely night, every injustice.

393
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 7: He's got you in the palm of his hand.

394
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 5: He told the Israelites when they were in slavery, I

395
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 5: have seen the affliction of my people. I've seen how

396
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 5: they're being mistreated, and I am coming down to do

397
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 5: something about it.

398
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 7: That's the blood still speaking.

399
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 5: And if you will stay in faith, the enemy won't

400
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 5: have the last laugh.

401
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 7: You will.

402
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 5: God will vindicate you, He'll make your wrongs right. He'll

403
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 5: pay you back for that injustice. God has already lined

404
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 5: up a comeback for every setback, a new beginning for

405
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 5: every loss. It may be Friday, but get ready, Sunday

406
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 5: is coming. I met a young man in Chicago by

407
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 5: the name of Daniel. Growing up, he loved to play

408
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 5: outside with his friends and ride his bike. Life was good,

409
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 5: but at the age of twelve, everything suddenly changed. He

410
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 5: was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with an aggressive

411
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 5: brain tumor. The doctors performed emergency surgery to spare his life,

412
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 5: but when he woke up, he had lost all of

413
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 5: his motor skills. Couldn't walk, couldn't talk, couldn't feed himself.

414
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 5: Half of his body was paralyzed. Here one moment, he

415
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 5: was out having fun, playing like other kids. The next moment,

416
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 5: his whole world had collapsed. It was Friday. Looked dark,

417
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 5: looked like it was over. Daniel spent one hundred days

418
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 5: in the hospital. In the months to come, he would

419
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 5: have to relearn how to talk, relearn how to walk.

420
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 5: His mother had to quit her job to take care

421
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 5: of him. His father missed three months from work. The

422
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 5: chemotherapy and radiation were constantly making him sick. Life through

423
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 5: him a curve. Could have gotten depressed, could have gotten

424
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 5: bitter and given up.

425
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 7: But not Daniel.

426
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 5: From the time he was five years old, every Sunday morning,

427
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 5: he and his family would watch our television broadcast there

428
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 5: in Chicago.

429
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 7: All through the week he would put on DVDs of

430
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 7: my messages.

431
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 5: He would hear these words of faith going into him.

432
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 5: You're a victor, not a victim. You can do all

433
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 5: things through Christ. No weapon formed against you will prosper.

434
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 5: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy is coming.

435
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 5: Daniel never knew one day what kind of battle he

436
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 5: would have to fight. He would send me notes thanking

437
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 5: me for my messages, and he'd draw pictures and put

438
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 5: my sayings on. And this is the most recent card

439
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 5: I've received to him. It's a beautiful picture of a church.

440
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 7: It says thank you.

441
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 5: On the inside, he writes, I have fought the good fight.

442
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 5: Now I'm happy to report I am one hundred percent cancer.

443
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 5: Fred Daniel rive here on the front road with him family,

444
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 5: A mighty man of faith.

445
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 7: God bless you, please be seated.

446
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 5: Maybe today like Daniel, you're facing a major obstacle. Let

447
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 5: me tell you nothing is too hard for our God.

448
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 5: He made your body. He can correct what's wrong. Don't

449
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 5: believe those lies that you'll never get healthy. Just learn

450
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 5: to live with it. That's one report, But there's another report.

451
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 5: It says God is restoring health back in the un

452
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 5: says that you will live and not die. God has

453
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 5: the final say, and he's saying it's not over. I

454
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 5: watched the clip of a college football game. The Stanford

455
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 5: Cardinals were playing the California Bears, and Stanford had just

456
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 5: scored a field goal. They were ahead with four seconds

457
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 5: to go in the game. All they had to do

458
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 5: is kick the ball off to the other team, tackle

459
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 5: the player, and the game would be over. Well, they

460
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 5: kicked it off. The California player caught the ball, ran

461
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 5: about twenty yards, and he was swarmed by Stanford players.

462
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 7: Looked like he was down.

463
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 5: The Stanford marching band rushed onto the field to celebrate

464
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 5: the victory, so excited. What they didn't realize is just

465
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 5: before he was down, somehow he lateraled the ball to

466
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 5: a teammate.

467
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 7: And he took off running.

468
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 5: When he was almost down, he lateraled it to another teammate.

469
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 7: This happened six times.

470
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 5: It looks like a play you'd see in your backyard

471
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 5: playing football. But after that sixth lateral, the California player

472
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 5: was headed to the end zone. The only problem is

473
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 5: the whole Stanford band was on the field. He had

474
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 5: to zigzag through the band members, through the instruments, finally

475
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 5: made it into the end zone to score a touchdown

476
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 5: and miraculously win the game.

477
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 7: What's my point?

478
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 5: Sometimes the enemy will send his band on your field

479
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 5: before the game is over. He'll start celebrating like he's

480
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 5: all read that he defeated you. What he doesn't realize

481
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 5: is you're not down yet. You need to tell him

482
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 5: get your marching band off of my field.

483
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 7: This game is not over.

484
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 5: You may think I'm down, but I've got resurrection power. Listen,

485
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 5: there is a force in you that cannot be defeated.

486
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 5: It raised Christ from the dead, and it will always

487
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 5: cause you to triumph.

488
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 7: This is what Job had to do. In the scripture.

489
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 5: He went through a period where everything that could go

490
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 5: wrong did. He lost his health, his business, his family.

491
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 5: It looked like it was over. The marching band was

492
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 5: definitely on his field, but in the midst of that difficulty,

493
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 5: he looked up to the heavens and said, I know

494
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 5: my redeemer lives. He was saying, I know God's in control.

495
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 5: As long as he's on the throne, it's not over.

496
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 7: He has the final saying.

497
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 5: Nine months later, Jobe not only came out, but he

498
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 5: came out with twice what he had before.

499
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 7: That's the way God is.

500
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 5: He'll make the enemy pay for bringing that trouble. The

501
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 5: scripture says, the latter part of Job's life was more

502
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 5: blessed than the first part. No matter what you've been through,

503
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 5: God wants the rest of your life to be more blessed,

504
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 5: more rewarding, more enjoyable than anything you've experienced. You have

505
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 5: not laughed your best laugh, you have not dreamed your

506
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 5: best dream, you have not sung your best song.

507
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 7: It's still out in front of you.

508
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 5: Isaiah put it this way, because you've got a double

509
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 5: dose of trouble, your inheritance in the land will be double,

510
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 5: and your joy will go on forever. You may feel

511
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 5: like Daniel, like Job, you've got a double dose of trouble.

512
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,479
Speaker 5: Don't go around complaining that trouble qualified you for double

513
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 5: shake off. What didn't work out and get ready for

514
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 5: a double dose of favors of God's blessing, a double

515
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 5: dose of healing.

516
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 7: Friends.

517
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 5: It's not over what God promised you He will bring

518
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 5: to pass. When thoughts tell you otherwise, dismiss them. Tell

519
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 5: the enemy get his marching band off of your field.

520
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 5: Remember the blood is still speaking for you. It's saying

521
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 5: you have a right to be free, to be healthy,

522
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 5: to live victoriously.

523
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 7: If you will have this, it's not over attitude.

524
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 5: I believe and declare, just like God did for Daniel.

525
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 5: He will restore what's been stolen. He's going to resurrect

526
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 5: dead dreams. You will rise higher, overcome obstacles, and become

527
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 5: everything He's created you to be in Jesus' name. If

528
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 5: you receive it, can you say, men today, we never

529
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 5: like to close our broadcast without giving you an opportunity

530
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 5: to make Jesus the lord of your life.

531
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 7: Would you pray with me?

532
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 5: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins.

533
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 7: Come into my heart. I make you my lord and

534
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 7: save you.

535
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 5: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

536
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 5: born again. Get in a good Bible based church. Keep

537
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 5: God first place.

538
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 7: He's going to take you places that you've never dreamed of.
