1 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Well, God bless you. It's great to be with you today, 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: and I hope you'll stay connected with us during the 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: week through our daily podcast, YouTube channel, social media, and 4 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,319 Speaker 1: you can come visit us in person. We'd love to 5 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: have you be a part of one of our services. 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,159 Speaker 1: But I like to start with something funny. And I 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: heard about this elderly gentleman. He'd had a problem with 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,159 Speaker 1: his hearing his whole life, and he went to the 9 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: doctor and was fitted with this new state of the 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: art hearing aid where he could hear one hundred percent. 11 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: A few months later, went back for a check up. 12 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,959 Speaker 1: The doctor said, Wow, your hearing is perfect. I bet 13 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: your family is so excited that you can hear again. 14 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: He said, no, I hadn't told my family. I just 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: sit around and listen to the different conversations, and I've 16 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: changed my will three times. All right, Joe, say it 17 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 18 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: what it says I am. I have what it says 19 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: I have. I can do what it is he says 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: I can do. Today, I will be taught the word 21 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: of God. I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my 22 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,839 Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus' name, 23 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 24 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: about He'll do it again. We've all seen God work 25 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,639 Speaker 1: in our lives and open a door we couldn't open, 26 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: and bring great people across our path, or turn a 27 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: situation around. We know it was his hand of favor. 28 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: And it's good to look back and remember what God 29 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: has done and let that be fuel for your faith. 30 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: But God doesn't want you to live off of yesterday's miracles. 31 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: He's a do it again God. Not only what he's 32 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: done in your life, but when you look back in 33 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: the scripture, that's showing you his nature. He parted red 34 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: seas back then. He's going to make ways in your life. 35 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: He kept the fire from harming the teenagers. He has 36 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: supernatural protection for you. He stopped the sun for Joshua. 37 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: He opened prison doors for Paul and Silas. He hid 38 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: Elisha from the enemy. He sent Quell into the desert 39 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: to feed the Israelites. He put Rahab, the former prostitute, 40 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: in the family line of Jesus. The good news is 41 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: he's a do it again God. He did it for them, 42 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: he can do it for you. And a great way 43 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: to release your faith is to remind God what he 44 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: did and then say, God, do it again for me. God, 45 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: you CAUs David to defeat a giant that was twice 46 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: his size. Now I'm facing this big obstacle. God, do 47 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: it again for me. God you gave Hannah a baby 48 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: after she had been bearing for many years and turned 49 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: that situation around. God, I'm told we can't have a child, 50 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: But I'm asking you God, do it again for us. 51 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: Anything you can find that God has done before in 52 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: your life, a friend's life in the scripture, let that 53 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: be a reference point. God did it for them, Now 54 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: he can do it again for you. That's why I 55 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: tell so often about us getting the Compact Center. This 56 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: was the hand of God. Make it away where we 57 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 1: didn't see away. When you face obstacles that look too big, 58 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: you don't have the finances, the connections. Instead of doubting 59 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: giving up, dare to say, God, you did it for Lakewood, 60 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: do it again for me. You defeated their giants, defeat 61 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: this giant. If you're facing an illness that doesn't look good, 62 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: the medical report says you're not going to get well, 63 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: God you did it for Joel's mother. He healed her 64 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: up terminal cancer. Do it again for me. The scripture says, 65 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever what 66 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: he did back in Bible days. He'll do today what 67 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: he did for your grandparents. He'll do again what he 68 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: did for you ten years ago. Your past the victories 69 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: were not your last victories. You've seen God show out 70 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: in your yesterdays. But God is not finished. He's about 71 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: to do it again. Now. You have to do your 72 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: part and have a do it again mentality. Find the 73 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: stories that inspire your faith where you know it was 74 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: the hand of God, and have that boldness to say, God, 75 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: do it again for me. When David faced Goliath, he 76 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: didn't have a chance. Goliath stood over nine feet tall 77 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: and his armor weighed one hundred and twenty five pounds. 78 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: David was half his size, a teenager, no military training. 79 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: David was a shepherd out taking care of animals. Goliath 80 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: was the champion of the Philistine army. How could David 81 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: have the courage the faith to go out and face him. 82 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: I can imagine as David was thinking about this huge giant, 83 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: his mind went back to the stories he had heard 84 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: about Joshua and Caleb, when Moses that men in despite 85 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: the Promised Land, they discovered there were giants living there. 86 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: They were the sons of Anak, the huge giant. They 87 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: were called the Anakites. The spies came back Moses, we 88 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: don't have a chance, too big. We felt like grasshoppers 89 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: compared to them. But Joshua and Caleb had a different report. 90 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: They said, we are well able, let us go in 91 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: at once. Our God is bigger. But the negative report 92 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: spread like wildfire. The people never did go into the 93 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: Promised Land. They died in the wilderness. But forty years later, 94 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: when Joshua came to the land of Canaan, you know 95 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: who was on it, the Anakites. These same giants inhabited 96 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: the land, but this time Joshua took this younger generation 97 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: people that had a different mindset. They went in and 98 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: defeated the giants and made it to the Promised Land. 99 00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: Well forty years after Joshua had died, David was facing Goliath, 100 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: another giant. The first group that didn't make it into 101 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: the Promised Land. They had no reference point. They had 102 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: never seen anyone defeat giants, but not David. He had 103 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: heard the stories of how Joshua had gone up against 104 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: a whole city of giants, wiped out all the Anarkites. 105 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: Now David had a reference point. When fear in doubt 106 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: tried to flood his mind, David thought, wait a minute, God, 107 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: you did it for Joshua. You gave him supernatural strength 108 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: to defeat an army of giants. God, I know, since 109 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: you did it for him, you'll do it again for me. 110 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: David had a do it again mentality. He remembered what 111 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: God had done in the past. That was the fuel 112 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: that empowered him to step into his destiny. When you 113 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,679 Speaker 1: face giants in life, giina's sickness, of debt, of trouble, 114 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: don't be like the first group. Joe, We're not able. 115 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: It's too big. No, you have a reference point. God 116 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: did it for Joshua. He defeated a city full of giants. 117 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: God did it for David, anointed his slingshot, He brought 118 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: down what should have defeated him. Our attitudes should be God, 119 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: I'm asking you to do it again in my life. 120 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: Show yourself strong, bring down these giants. That's the faith 121 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: that activates God's power. Find a reference point for what 122 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: you're believing for somewhere in the scripture or a friend, 123 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: a relative where you know it was the hand of God. 124 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,559 Speaker 1: Have this boldness to ask God to do it again. 125 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: This is what my parents did. My sister Lisa was 126 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: born with a birth injury, something like cerebral pause in 127 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: The doctors told them she would probably never be able 128 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: to walk or feed herself. And my father had been 129 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: pastoring churches for years, and he was taught in seminary 130 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: that God doesn't heal today, that was only back in 131 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: Bible days, and you just have to it. And God's 132 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: teaching you a lesson as your cross to bear. But 133 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: God said in Hoseiah, my people are destroyed for a 134 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: lack of knowledge. There's a saying what you don't know 135 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: won't hurt you, but that's not always true. If you 136 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: don't know it's God's will to heal you, free you, 137 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: deliver you, prosper you, then you won't walk in the 138 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: victory that belongs to you. And so often our thinking 139 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: is keeping us from God's best doubt. Tradition, the way 140 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: we grew up, everyone in our family was addicted or 141 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: depressed or compromised. Maybe they didn't know any better. They 142 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: thought they had to accept it. But you know, more. 143 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: You're the one God's raised up to break the negative cycle, 144 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: break the dysfunction, to set a new standard. But my 145 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: father was taught wrong. His tradition said, your daughter can't 146 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: be healed, but something deep down did. And sit right, 147 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit will rise up in you to challenge 148 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: what you're believing, to stir you to reevaluate why you 149 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: think the way you think. My father went to a 150 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: hotel downtown for a few days to be alone and 151 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: to read the scripture, and he told how he took 152 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: off his denominational glasses and he read it like he 153 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: was reading it for the first time. He saw how 154 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: Jesus went around healing person after person. Healed the lady 155 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: with the issue of blood, healed the blind man, healed 156 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: Peter's mother in law, healed the ten lepers, healed the 157 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 1: crippled man, healed the man with the withered hand. Daddy thought, oh, 158 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: that's great, all that happened back then. Then he read 159 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: how Jesus is the same yesterday today, and forever a 160 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: light turned on. He realized, if he did it back then, 161 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: he'll do it again today. That day was a turning point. 162 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: He quit praying God, just give us the grace to 163 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: raise Lison endure the this hardship. He started praying in faith. God, 164 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: you did it for the Leffers, do it again for us. God, 165 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: you did it for the woman that was sick twelve years, 166 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: but she touched the edge of your robe. God, do 167 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: it again for Lisa. He got a new reference point. 168 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: Little by little, Lisa started getting better and better. Today. 169 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: You know, Lisa's perfectly healthy hole a mighty woman of faith. 170 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: What will God do in your life if you'll start 171 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: praying some do it again prayers? This should stir our faith. 172 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: Things you're believing for promises You've been standing a long time. 173 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: You don't see anything improving. Find a reference point something 174 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: God has done in the Scripture of a door He's 175 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: open for you in the past, a friend that saw 176 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: the favor of God. Use that as an example to say, God, 177 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: do it again in my life. David said in Psalm 178 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: sixty eight, display your power, o Lord, as you have 179 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: done before. At this point, when he wrote that, he 180 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: had already seen Samuel come to the shepherd's fields and 181 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: annoyed him as the next king. He'd seen Goliath fall, 182 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: He'd seen protection from King Saul, the spears missing him, 183 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: whole army chasing him through the desert. But he wasn't 184 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: found all these amazing acts of God's favor, protection, promotion. 185 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: He could have been satisfied. Man, I've seen God's goodness. 186 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: Look at his attitude. He was saying, God, do it again, 187 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: display your power, your favor, your healing. He had this 188 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: do it again mentality. That's one reason God used him 189 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: in amazing ways. He found reference points where God did 190 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: it for him in the past, where God did it 191 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: for others Joshua, for Caleb, when he faced challenges, he understood, 192 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: if God has done it before, that set the precedent 193 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: that established the pattern. Now we have an example where 194 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: we can say in faith, God, you did it for them, 195 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: Now do it again for us. And when you've gone 196 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: through bad breaks and life throws you some curves, it's 197 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: easy to fall into self pitying, give up on dreams. God, 198 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: why did this happen? That's gonna keep you where you are? 199 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: Why don't you go back In the scripture to a 200 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: man named Job. Job had his whole world turned upside down. 201 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: He is doing great, a man of integrity. He honored God, 202 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: but he lost his health, lost his business, lost his family. 203 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: He was so depressed he sat down among the ashes. 204 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: Right when he was about to give up, he looked 205 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: to the heavens and said, I know my redeemer lives. 206 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: In the middle of the trouble, he started declaring the 207 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: goodness of God. The scripture says God brought Job out 208 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: with twice what he had before, twice the cattle, twice 209 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: the strength, twice the joy he had, twice as many children. 210 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: God gave him double for all the trouble. In those 211 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: difficult times and seat of complaining and thinking about how 212 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: bad life is, try a new approach. God, you did 213 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: it for Job. I know you'll do it again for me. 214 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: You brought him out better than before. Lord, I want 215 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: to thank you that I'm coming out better than before. 216 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: That's what gets God's attention, not complaining, but speaking victory 217 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: in having this do it again mentality. See the stories 218 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: in the scripture aren't just there so we can see 219 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: what God did back then celebrate their victories. They are 220 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: examples that we can use for our own lives. If 221 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: you've been struggling with an illness a long time, God, 222 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: you healed that man that had been sick for thirty 223 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: eight years by the pool of Bethesda. God, do it 224 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: again for me. You're struggling in your finances. God, you 225 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: brought the Israelites quell in the desert supernatural provision. Do 226 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: it again for me. God you gave Rachel a baby 227 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: after she had been bearing for years. God do it 228 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: again for us. Let us conceive this child. God, you 229 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: brought Ruth a great husband after the pain and heartache. 230 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: You exceeded her expectations and gave her bo as God, 231 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: do it again for me. Bring somebody amazing into my life. 232 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: This is what I had to do when my dad 233 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: went to be with the Lord. I knew I was 234 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: supposed to step up and pastor the church, but I 235 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: didn't feel qualified. I'd never ministered, didn't have the training. 236 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: My thoughts told me that I couldn't do it. But 237 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: I remembered in the scripture the story of Gideon. He 238 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: was hiding in a wine press, afraid of the Midianites 239 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: that had surrounded his city. And every time the Israelites 240 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: crops would come up, they would come and take all 241 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: the harvest, and they were much bigger and stronger. Gideon 242 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: was intimidated, living in fear. When an angel appeared said, 243 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: mighty hero, the Lord is with you. You are to 244 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: deliver the Israelites from the Midianites. He said, how can 245 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: I lead these people? I am the least one in 246 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: my father's house. He was saying, I'm not qualified. I 247 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: won't have the talent, the courage, all these excuses. But 248 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: God wouldn't have asked you to do it if he 249 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: hadn't already given you what you needed. You are strong, 250 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: well able, equipped, you were empowered. Gideon finally changed his thinking. 251 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: He went out and led the Israelites to great victories. 252 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: In fact, he's now listed as one of the heroes 253 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: of faith. When my father died, I felt unqualified. I 254 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: could have stayed in hiding, so to speak, behind the 255 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: scenes where I was comfortable, but I could feel that 256 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: calling to step up. I used Gideon to fuel my faith, 257 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: I said God. When Gideon was weak, he didn't feel 258 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: like he could do it, You gave him strength. You 259 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: went before him and made cooked places straight. You opened 260 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: doors that he couldn't open. You protected him from enemies. God, 261 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: I know you're a do it again. God. You did 262 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: it for him, Lord, do it again for me. When 263 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: you re mind God, what he's done in the past. 264 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: That's fuel for your faith. Don't sit around complaining. Ah Man, Joey. 265 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: The sickness too big. And my child is so far 266 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: off course, my finance is so down. Defeat talk is 267 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: gonna bring defeat never gonna happen. Talk is gonna keep 268 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: it from happening. Zip that up and find some examples 269 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: of what God did, what you're believing for, and let 270 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: that be your declaration. How about this, God, my child 271 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: is way off course. But when Saul was your greatest enemy, 272 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: when Saul was persecuting the church, you changed his mind 273 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: and turned him into a powerful believer. God, you did 274 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: it for Saul, Do it again for my son. Turn 275 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: his life around. Maybe you feel like you're in a famine. 276 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: Things have dried up, no good breaks, problems at work. 277 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: It's tempting, Losjah, passion just dragged through the days. Man, 278 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: nothing good is in store. In the scripture, Elisha was 279 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: in a famine for three and a half years. Everything 280 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: was barren. He went on top of Mount Carmel and 281 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: he started thanking God for rain when there wasn't a 282 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: cloud in the sky. At one point he said, I 283 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: hear the sound of the abundance of rain. He heard 284 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: rain in his spirit before there were any clouds in 285 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: the sky. It wasn't long till the heavens opened a 286 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: downpour of rain. The drought came to an end. Let 287 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: that be your example. God, you brought Elisha out of 288 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: that drought. You turned that barren place to an abundant place. God, 289 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: you did it for him. I'm asking you to do 290 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: it again for me. You're saying, God, I know you're 291 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: the same. I know you haven't lost your power. You 292 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: were a way maker back then, and you're a way 293 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: maker right now. You stopped the famine back then, and 294 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: you'll stop the famine right now. You are a healer then, 295 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: and you're a healer now. You provided manna in the 296 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: desert back then, supernatural provision, and I know you're a provider. Now, 297 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: give God something to work with. Remind him what he's done. 298 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: Then't make it personal. God, you did it for them, 299 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: Do it again for me. John chapter twelve. Jesus was 300 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: talking to his disciples and telling them how he was 301 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: about to be crucified and how he was deeply troubled, 302 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 1: and he was facing all this opposition and suffering, but 303 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: his heart was set on doing his Father's will. He 304 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: said in verse twenty seven, this is the reason I came, Father, 305 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: to bring glory to your name. A voice spoke out 306 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: of the heavens and said, I have already brought it glory, 307 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: and I will do it again. The first glory God 308 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: talks about is referring to Jesus' birth and how that 309 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: was supernatural. The miracles Jesus performed, multiplied the food, raising Lazarus, 310 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: walking on water, all these things that had happened up 311 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: to that point that brought God glory. God acknowledged that, 312 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: but then he said, I'm going to do it again. 313 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: What's significant is the next glory was Jesus going to 314 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: the cross and being raised from the dead. The next 315 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: glory was defeating the enemy and taking the keys of 316 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: death and hell. The next glory was the Holy Spirit 317 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: coming to live inside each one of us. The next 318 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: glory was being seated at the right hand of the Father. 319 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: What was God's showing us that his glory is progressive. 320 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: What He's about to do is greater than what he's 321 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: done in the past. You've seen God's goodness, his favor, 322 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: but you haven't seen anything yet. When he does it again, 323 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: it's going to be bigger, better, something that you haven't seen. 324 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: A friend of our family had a very successful business. 325 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: He was an influential man, known around the country and 326 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: seemed like anything he did took off. And for many 327 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: years he was at the top of his field. But 328 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: at one point the economy turned. He had some setbacks 329 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: and everything started to go down. To stay in business, 330 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: he had to borrow money and put his buildings up 331 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 1: as collateral. He kept going down and down, and over 332 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: time he was tens of millions of dollars in death. 333 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: He was an older gentleman, now at the end of 334 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: his career and almost bankrupt, so down on himself. He 335 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: loved God. He was a strong believer, but everything turned. 336 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: A friend of mine would go visit with him, try 337 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: to encourage him, let him know God's still in control. 338 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: God can make a way, But this man wouldn't hear it. 339 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: He used to be full of faith, but now as 340 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: just the opposite. Well years went by and he was 341 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: about to lose control and have it turned over to 342 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: the creditors. At the last moment, this investor came in, 343 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: someone that always admired the man, and instead of taking 344 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: the business, he not only paid off all the debt, 345 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: but he upgraded all the facilities over one hundred million dollars. 346 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: The men thought he'd have to give up control and 347 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: change the name. The investor said, no, we're gonna honor 348 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: you by leaving it the same name. We're gonna help 349 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: you run this business so it continues long after you're gone. Friends, 350 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: your next glory is going to be greater than what 351 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: you've imagined. God's done it in the past. Now, why 352 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: do you think you're stuck? Why are you sitting there 353 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: like my friend, thinking all the reasons it can't happen. 354 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: It's too big, Joel, It's too late. God hasn't brought 355 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: you this far to leave you. He stopped the sun 356 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: for Joshua, he closed the mouths of hungry lions for Daniel. 357 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: He gave Sarah a baby at ninety when it looked impossible. 358 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: Why don't you have this Do it again? Faith, God, 359 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: you did it for Sarah. Do it for me. God, 360 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,959 Speaker 1: you gave Lakewood the Compact Center when all the odds 361 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: were against them. God, do it for me. God is 362 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: looking for some do it again, faith, people that know 363 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: what he did back in Bible days. He'll do for you. 364 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: What he did ten years ago. That door he opened 365 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: had problem. He turned around. That promotion he gave you, 366 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: that miracle wasn't your last miracle. He has another one coming. 367 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: The next one's gonna be greater. Your latter days will 368 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: be better than your former days. Well, joel Man, I 369 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 1: may believe this, but I've made mistakes, I've gotten off course, 370 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: I don't deserve it. That's the way Peter felt. The 371 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 1: first time Jesus encountered Peter, he borrowed his boat. When 372 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: he finished using it, he told Peter to go back out. 373 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: He'd catch a great haul of fish. Well, Peter had 374 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: fished all night, caught nothing, didn't make sense, But he 375 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: went back and he caught so many fish the nets 376 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: begin to break. That's when Jesus chose Peter as his 377 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: first disciple. He was with Jesus night and day for 378 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: three years, faithful, loyal, But when Jesus was about to 379 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: be crucified, Peter denied that he knew Jesus. He walked 380 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: away from him when Jesus needed him the most, and 381 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 1: Peter never had the chance to say I'm sorry, to 382 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: make things right. You can imagine how he felt so 383 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: down on himself, and plus all the uncertainty with Jesus 384 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: being gone. Peter was so distraught he went back to fishing. 385 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: He left the disciples and went to his old ways. 386 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: Early one morning, he was in his boat after fishing 387 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: at night and not catching anything, and he heard this 388 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: voice from the beach, a man saying, have you caught anything? 389 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: Peter thought, who is this guy asking about our business? 390 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: The man said, throw your nets on the right side 391 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: of the boat and you'll catch a lot of fish. 392 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: He thought, what do I have to lose? And he 393 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: threw the nets and caught so many fish. Again, they 394 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: begin to break. Peter suddenly realized it was Jesus on 395 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: the shore. He swam quickly to meet him. That's where 396 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: Jesus restored him and spoke victory over his life. But 397 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: notice it was the same miracle as when he first 398 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,239 Speaker 1: called Peter. You would think, no, Peter blew it. He 399 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: doesn't have a chance. Maybe God will do something, but 400 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: it'll be way less. No, God is not holding your 401 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 1: faults against you. You may have made mistakes, you're not 402 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,959 Speaker 1: where you should be, But God is calling you. He 403 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: hasn't written you off. He didn't cancel your destiny quit 404 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: believe in those lies that you missed your chance. It's 405 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: too late. God is a do it again God. Peter 406 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: wasn't just restored back to where he was, but he 407 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 1: went on to do greater things. He gave the inaugural 408 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 1: when the church was founded. Three thousand people became believers. 409 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: He spoke to the crippled man and he was healed. 410 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 1: He helped spread the good news all over Rome. When 411 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: he thought he was finished, he came to the greater glory. 412 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: You may have seen God's goodness in the past, his mercy, 413 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: his favor. That was the first glory. But God has 414 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: another level of glory. What He's about to do is 415 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: gonna supersede anything you've done. Now do your part and 416 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: have do it again. Faith. Find some examples. Remind God 417 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: what he's done. Dare to ask God to do it 418 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: for you. God, you restored Peter, You gave him another chance. God, 419 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: do it for me. God, you calls David to defeat Eliath. 420 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: God do it again. Help me to defeat this giant. God, 421 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 1: you broke the chains off of Pall. God, break these chains. 422 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: Free me from this addiction. Your past miracle, We're not 423 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: your last miracles. Get ready. I believe and declare God 424 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: is about to do it again. Favor healing, breakthroughs, greater 425 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: glory in Jesus's name, And if you receive it, can 426 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: you say amen? I'd like to give you an opportunity 427 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: to make Jesus the Lord of your life. Would you 428 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of 429 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: my sins. Come into my heart. I make you my 430 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, we 431 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 1: believe you got born again. But I hope you'll get 432 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: into a good Bible based church and keep God first place.
