00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 5: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

56
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 5: about this group of school children. They were in the

57
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 5: cafeteria line at their Catholic elementary school. At the start

58
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 5: of the line, there was a big bowl of apples.

59
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 5: A nun had written a note that said, take only one.

60
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: God is watching.

61
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 5: At the end of the line there was a big

62
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 5: ball of chocolate chip cookies. One of the children had

63
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 5: written a note. It said take all you want.

64
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: God is watching. The apples.

65
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 5: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

66
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 5: I am what it says I am. I have what

67
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 5: it says I have. I can do what it says

68
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 5: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

69
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 5: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my

70
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 5: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

71
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 5: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

72
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 5: about nothing missing. We all go through disappointments and things

73
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 5: we didn't see coming, and it's easy to accept it

74
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 5: and think that's.

75
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: The way it's always going to be.

76
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 5: We went through a breakup, we'll always be lonely, had

77
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 5: a set back in our business.

78
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: We'll always struggle.

79
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 5: Came down with an illness, We'll always have to deal

80
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 5: with it.

81
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: But God didn't say we wouldn't go through challenges.

82
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 5: We'd never experienced loss, But he did promise when he's fent,

83
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 5: nothing will be missing.

84
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: He's a god of restoration.

85
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 5: You may have lost your health, lost your joy, lost

86
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 5: a position, but that's not how your story ends. Don't

87
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 5: judge your situation too soon. The loss is only temporary.

88
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 3: It's just a season. You're going to get it all back.

89
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 5: Your health is coming back, your confidence is coming back,

90
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 5: your child is coming back, your strength is coming back.

91
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: Nothing will be missing.

92
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 5: Someone may have left you, walked out of a relationship.

93
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 5: You think you'll always be alone. The right person is

94
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 5: going to find you someone better. Than you've imagined. You

95
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 5: tried to accomplish your dream. The doors didn't open. God's

96
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 5: going to open a better door. He didn't give you

97
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 5: the dream and not have a way to bring it

98
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 5: to pass. Maybe you didn't have a good childhood. Nobody

99
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 5: was there to encourage you. You feel short changed.

100
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: Don't worry.

101
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 5: God saw what happened. He's going to make up for

102
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 5: who did you wrong. He's going to pay you back

103
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 5: for what you didn't get. Instead of living discouraged, thinking

104
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 5: you've seen your best days, turn it around.

105
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: Father.

106
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 5: Thank you that nothing will be missing in my life,

107
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 5: the joy, the peace, the health, the.

108
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 3: Strength, the family, the dreams.

109
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 5: Lord, thank you that you are restoring everything that I've lost. See,

110
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 5: instead of having a poor home mentality, look what I've

111
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 5: been through, have a nothing missing mentality. I'm gonna get

112
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 5: it all back.

113
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: This is what happened with job. He was a good man,

114
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: had a good.

115
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 5: Family, successful business. One thing after another came against him.

116
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 5: Lost his health, lost his business, lost his children.

117
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: He was so discouraged.

118
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: The scripture says he sat down among the ashes. He thought,

119
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 5: I'll never recover from this. It's all downhill from here.

120
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 5: His wife even said Job, just curse God and die

121
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 5: couraging wife. When he was just when he was about

122
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 5: to give up, a friend came along set in Job

123
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 5: Chapter five.

124
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: Job, if you'll look to God, he will rescue you.

125
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: He will save you from death.

126
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 5: You will not be taken before your time. When you

127
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 5: look in your pastures, nothing will be missing.

128
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 3: Here.

129
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 5: He's just lost all of his flocks, lost his health,

130
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 5: his family, It's all gone. God showed up and said, Job,

131
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 5: stay in faith. This loss is temporary. When I get through,

132
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: nothing will be missing. I can see Job stand up

133
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 5: out of the ashes, dust, his clothes off. He looked

134
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 5: up to the heavens and said, I know my redeemer

135
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 5: lives in.

136
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 3: The midst of all the trouble, all the heartache.

137
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 5: When he could have been complaining bitter, he started declaring

138
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 5: that God was on the throne, that what he started

139
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 5: he would finish. There was a shift in his thinking

140
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 5: from this lost is permanent. I've seen my best days

141
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 5: to restoration is coming, health is coming, Victory is coming.

142
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 5: I can hear him saying, Father, it doesn't look good.

143
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 5: The odds are against me. But I believe what you

144
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 5: promised that nothing will be missing in my life. I

145
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 5: don't have joy now, but thank you that joy is coming.

146
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 5: I don't feel well, but thank you that health is coming.

147
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 5: My flocks are all gone, but thank you that abundance

148
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 5: is on the way. When you go through setbacks, you

149
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 5: can complain talk about what you've lost, or you can

150
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 5: get in agreement with God and talk about restoration. Father,

151
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 5: thank you that what was meant for my harm your

152
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 5: turning to my advantage. You said that no weapon formed

153
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 5: against me will ever prosper. Thank you that I will

154
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 5: recover everything that I've lost. This is what God did

155
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 5: for Job. He not only restored what he'd lost, but

156
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 5: God gave him twice what he had before. He was

157
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 5: more blessed after the challenge than he was before. God

158
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 5: makes the enemy pay for bringing the difficulty. Verse sixteen

00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 5: says Job went on to live another one hundred and

160
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 5: forty years after the challenge and saw his children and grandchildren.

161
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 5: He died an old man who had lived a long,

162
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 5: good life. He didn't die bitter, lonely, discouraged. Just like

163
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 5: God promised, nothing was missing. He had his health, his family,

164
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 5: his business, peace, abundance.

165
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 3: He didn't look like what he had been through.

166
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 5: If you would have told him in the middle of

167
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 5: the difficulty, when he had boils all over his body,

168
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 5: sitting in the ashes, that one day he was going

169
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 5: to be happy, healthy, living an abundant life.

170
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: He would have thought, how could that be possible. That's

171
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 3: the way our God is.

172
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 5: Don't judge the rest of your life by what's come

173
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 5: against you.

174
00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: Now.

175
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 5: God is saying to you what he said to Job.

176
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 5: Nothing is going to be missing. You may be missing joy,

177
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 5: missing children, missing health. Life has thrown you a curve.

178
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 5: You don't see how it could ever work out. God

179
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 5: has it already figured out. Like Job, You're not going

180
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 5: to look like what you've been through. When God gets finished,

181
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 5: nobody will be able to tell you went through the cancer,

182
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 5: through the breakup, through the pandemic, through the loss.

183
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: You're going to come out stronger.

184
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 5: Healthier, more fulfilled, the good family, blessed, prosper us.

185
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 3: Get that down in your spirit.

186
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 5: Yes, something may be wrong now, but God is not finished.

187
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 3: Your time is coming.

188
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 5: The scripture says God set an end to Job's difficulty.

189
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,359
Speaker 3: Just like there was a start to that problem.

190
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 5: There was an end to that problem, an end to

191
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 5: the sickness, and endto the addiction and endo.

192
00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,479
Speaker 3: The limitations.

193
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 5: When God says it's time to restore, all the forces

194
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 5: of darkness cannot stop him. Whatever you've lost, whatever looks permanent,

195
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 5: whatever you think has limited your life, There's about to

196
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 5: be a shift. God is going to suddenly thrust you

197
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 5: into healing, bring the right people, turn the business around,

198
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 5: give you joy, peace, victory like you've never seen.

199
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: I talked to a young lady.

200
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 5: She and her husband had been trying to have a

201
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 5: baby for many years with no success. Her dream from

202
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 5: the time she was a little girl was to have

203
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 5: a child. Her mother had a hard time conceiving, and

204
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 5: her grandmother it ran in the family. After taking all

205
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 5: the fertility treatments, doing everything medically speaking that she could,

206
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 5: the doctor told her that it wasn't going to be possible.

207
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: There was nothing more they could do. For months, she

208
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 3: would get up in the morning weeping so heartbroken.

209
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 5: One day she was driving to work and she lit

210
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 5: on our serious exem channel. I was talking about how

211
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 5: God has the final saying, how he can do what

212
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 5: medicine can't do. She said, something came alive on the inside.

213
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 5: She wasn't raised in church. She believed in God, but

214
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 5: she'd never heard anything like this, she started reminding God

215
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 5: what he promised, that children are a gift from the Lord.

216
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 5: All through the day, instead of getting discouraged, she would

217
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 5: thank God that her baby was on the way. When

218
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 5: she was tempted to get down, she would go out

219
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 5: in the car and listen to another message to help

220
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 5: her faith stay built up. Two weeks ago she called weeping.

221
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 5: This time they weren't tears of sadness. They were tears

222
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 5: of joy.

223
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 3: She had just.

224
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 5: Found out she was ten weeks pregnant, not with one baby,

225
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 5: but with twins.

226
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: The doctor said, I don't know how it happened. He

227
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 3: had no explanation.

228
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 5: That's what God promised, that nothing is going to be

229
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 5: missing in your life.

230
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: Thoughts will tell you they were going to happen.

231
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 5: Man, you'll always be barren, always be lonely, always be addicted,

232
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 5: always struggle. Don't believe those lies. God sees what you've lost.

233
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 5: He knows what wasn't fair, what's holding you back. It's

234
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 5: not permanent. The baby is coming, the freedom is coming,

235
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 5: the dream is coming, the abundance is coming. In the scripture,

236
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 5: David was twenty nine years old. He was living in

237
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 5: the city of Ziglag with six hundred of his men.

238
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 5: He'd worked in the palace, but had to leave because

239
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 5: King Saul was jealous and trying to kill him. The

240
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 5: prophet Samuel had anointed him to be the next king

241
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 5: of Israel when he was seventeen. He wasn't in Jerusalem,

242
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 5: where it was prophesied he would lead the nation. He

243
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 5: wasn't in Bethlehem, where he was raised. Ziglag was a

244
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 5: temporary place. He was in between prophecy and destiny. It

245
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 5: wasn't where he was from, and it wasn't where he

246
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 5: was going. It was a place of waiting. We all

247
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 5: encounter some ziglags. We know what God promised, we know

248
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 5: the dream He's placed in our heart, but we're not

249
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 5: seeing it happen. No doors are opening, We're not able

250
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 5: to conceive. Our health isn't improving. When you're in ziglag,

251
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,479
Speaker 5: in between places.

252
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: It's very important that.

253
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 5: You keep being faithful, keep doing the right thing, keep

254
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 5: reminding God of his promises.

255
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: Ziglag is a test.

256
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 5: Are you going to get discouraged, think that you're stuck,

257
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 5: give up on your dreams?

258
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 3: No, stay in faith.

259
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 5: Ziglag is only temporary. David and his men had been

260
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 5: out on a three day journey to fight with the Philistines.

261
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 5: They were returning home when they noticed smoke billowing in

262
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 5: the distance.

263
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 3: It was in the direction of their city.

264
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 5: I can imagine they started walking faster, wondering what was

265
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 5: going on. When they got closer, their worst fears came true.

266
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 5: The Amalekites, these bandits had come in and raided the city.

267
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 5: They captured all their wives and children. They took all

268
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 5: their possessions, burned down their homes. Here David had been

269
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 5: out doing God's will, protecting the people, and his own

270
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 5: city was destroyed. His wife and children had been kidnapped.

271
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 5: The scripture says David and his men wept until they

272
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 5: could not weep anymore. Now, David was a warrior. He'd

273
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 5: gone through great challenges. He had defeated Goliath.

274
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: We stood all kinds of trouble. But this blow knocked

275
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: the wind out of him. He didn't see it coming.

276
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 5: On the way to our destiny, there will be some ziglags.

277
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 5: We're doing the right thing, but the wrong thing happens.

278
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 5: We're being our best, but business goes down. We lose

279
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 5: a loved one. We're fighting anxiety, or maybe dealing with

280
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 5: a child that's off course. David's men were so upset,

281
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 5: so distraught, they talked about stoning David. Just when he

282
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 5: thought it couldn't get any worse, his.

283
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 3: Own men turned on him. David was at a very

284
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: pivotal moment.

285
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 5: He could have gotten bitter blame God given up on

286
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 5: his dream. This could be the last time we ever

287
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 5: read about David. He could have faded off into the sunset,

288
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 5: missed his destiny. But David made a decision that we

289
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 5: all have to make when we encounter a zig lag.

290
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 5: The scripture says he encouraged himself in the Lord his God,

291
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 5: sitting in the ashes, looking at home, still smoldering, men

292
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 5: all around him, angry, ready to take him out. Instead

293
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 5: of complaining, instead of being depressed, he started reminding himself

294
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 5: that God was still on the throne. God, what you've

295
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 5: spoken over my life is still going.

296
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: To come to pass.

297
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 5: I believe that you're a God of restoration, that this

298
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 5: is not come My story ends. David dried his tears,

299
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 5: God up out of the ashes and went.

300
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: Alone to pray.

301
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 5: He asked God if he should go after the Amalekites.

302
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 5: God said, yes, go after them, for you will surely

303
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 5: recover everything that was stolen. God is saying that to you.

304
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 5: You may have lost some things. Don't sit around in

305
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 5: self pity. It's time to dry your tears and go

306
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 5: after what belongs to you.

307
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: You will surely recover your health. You will surely recover

308
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: your children. You will surely recover your peace. You will

309
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: surely recover that dream.

310
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 5: God is a surely god. He's not hoping it'll work out.

311
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 5: He controls the universe. He's breathing in your direction. Right now,

312
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 5: you and God are a majority. Him being for you

313
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 5: is more than the world being against you. David set

314
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 5: out toward the Amalekites. When he arrived, they were having

315
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 5: a big party, dancing, drinking, celebrating the victory. Sometimes the

316
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 5: enemy celebrates too soon. He thinks you're done, you've given up,

317
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 5: you've settled. What he doesn't realize is you know what

318
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 5: God promised that if you pursue, if you believe, get

319
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 5: your hopes up, you will recover all.

320
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 3: Nothing will be missing. When you pursue. God starts fighting

321
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 3: for you.

322
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 5: Angels go to work, forces of darkness are broken, the

323
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 5: wrong people are moved out of the way. You'll see favor, healing, victory.

324
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 5: David and his men attacked the Amalekites. They not only

325
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 5: defeated them, but they got back everything that was stolen.

326
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: They got their wives and children back. The scripture says nothing.

327
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 5: Was missing small or great son or daughter, or anything

328
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 5: else that had been taken.

329
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 3: David got everything back.

330
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 5: Now you may be in ziglag, you've lost some It

331
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 5: wasn't fair. If you'll get your passion back, start believing again.

332
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 3: Like with David, You're going to get it all back.

333
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 3: Nothing is going to be missing.

334
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 5: The healing is coming back, the business, the children, the joy,

335
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 5: it's coming back. God is not going to leave you

336
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 5: at a deficit. He's keeping the records. He knows what

337
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 5: belongs to you. David not only got all of his

338
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 5: possessions back, but his men gathered up all that belonged

339
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 5: to the Amalekites.

340
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: They came out with more than they had before.

341
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 5: What's interesting is three days later, King Saul was killed

342
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 5: in a battle, David was made king. This was thirteen

343
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 5: years after Samuel had anointed him. It's significant that after

344
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 5: his greatest challenge, David was only seventy two hours away

345
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 5: from taking the throne. When you're in ziglag, stay encouraged.

346
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 5: You don't know what God is up to if you're

347
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 5: not only going to get it all back, but God

348
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 5: is about to promote you. Ziglag is a sign that

349
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 5: a new level of your destiny is on the way,

350
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 5: that you're about to see what God promised. That you're

351
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 5: going to come out of the interim place, that place

352
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 5: of waiting, into a place of destiny.

353
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 3: But we all have to go.

354
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 5: Through a few ziglags on the way to our purpose,

355
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 5: Difficulties that come out of nowhere, things we don't understand,

356
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 5: loss of a loved one, fighting depression, people trying to

357
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 5: discredit us. You have to remind yourself that ziglag is

358
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 5: only temporary.

359
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 3: Voices will whisper.

360
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 5: You'll never get out of this, never have that baby,

361
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 5: never meet the right person, Just live among these ashes.

362
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 5: The reason those lies are coming is the enemy doesn't

363
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 5: want you to rise up.

364
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 3: And leave ziglag. He doesn't want you.

365
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 5: To have a recover all mentality. He wants you to

366
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 5: have a poor o me mentality to say no thanks.

367
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 5: Ziglag is not my home. This is not how my

368
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 5: story ends. I know what God promised. Nothing will be missing,

369
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 5: Lord or small. There was a lady that was diagnosed

370
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 5: with stage four cancer didn't look good. She had spent

371
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 5: most of her childhood in the hospital. She had a

372
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 5: sickle cell gene that had caused her many problems years later.

373
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 5: The thought of having to go back to the hospital

374
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 5: deal with this illness take.

375
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 3: The treatment was very discouraging.

376
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 5: She sunk into deep depression, didn't want to leave the house,

377
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 5: didn't want to get out of bed. On Sunday, her

378
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 5: husband would turn our program on, she would weep the

379
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 5: whole time I was speaking. She said, it was just

380
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,479
Speaker 5: like you were talking to me. She started believing that

381
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 5: God was bigger than the cancer, that her life was

382
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 5: not over.

383
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 3: For two years.

384
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 5: As she took the treatment, had the surgery, she felt

385
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 5: a strength that she had never felt. Today, she's not

386
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 5: only cancer free, she not only defied the odds, but

387
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 5: she doesn't have the sickle cell gene anymore.

388
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 3: She told how she.

389
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 5: Used to be so quiet, so reserved, but now she's

390
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 5: written a book. She speaks at different events, telling how

391
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 5: God helped her overcome. She says, when people see me,

392
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 5: they always comment on.

393
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 3: How I don't look like what I've been through.

394
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 5: She's happier and more fulfilled than she's ever been. What

395
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 5: am I saying Ziglag is not your home. It's a

396
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 5: temporary place. When you're in Ziglag, you have to remind

397
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 5: yourself what God promised that you're going to recover all

398
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 5: that nothing is going.

399
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: To be missing.

400
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 5: It may be gone now, but God is not finished.

401
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 5: Instead of dwelling on what you lost, what didn't work out,

402
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 5: those negative reports, you need to switch over to this

403
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 5: nothing missing mentality. You may not see how it can happen.

404
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 5: God has ways we've never thought of. He's not limited

405
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 5: by what limits us. Like with this lady, He's going

406
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 5: to do something unusual, uncommon, out of the ordinary, not

407
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 5: just restore, but bring you.

408
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: Out better than you were before. I believe it's going

409
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 3: to happen sooner than you think. There's about to be

410
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 3: a shift, a suddenly out of nowhere.

411
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 5: You're on the verge of a breakthrough, a healing.

412
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: A promotion.

413
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 5: You're going to be able to say, like this lady,

414
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 5: nothing is missing in my life. A few years ago,

415
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 5: we had a night of hope in Las Vegas and

416
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 5: I was able to visit with a gentleman named Steve Wynn.

417
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 5: He's built many of the large hotels. They are very

418
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 5: successful and influential. He's an avid art collector, has masterpieces

419
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 5: from all over the world. As he was showing us

420
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 5: some of the paintings in his home, he told us

421
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 5: about a famous Picasso painting that he purchased in two

422
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 5: thousand and one. At that time, it was valued at

423
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 5: sixty minillion dollars.

424
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 3: It's one of his favorite paintings.

425
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 5: He had a friend that really loved it as well,

426
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 5: and mister Wynn agreed to sell it to this friend.

427
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 5: The price was one hundred and thirty nine million dollars.

428
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,479
Speaker 5: The night before the cell, he was showing the painting

429
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 5: to some friends.

430
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: He has an eye disease that affects his peripheral vision.

431
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 3: As he was pointing to the painting, he didn't.

432
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 5: Realize he was so close. He poked a hole in

433
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 5: it with his elbow. They could all hear the canvas ripping.

434
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 5: He turned around and saw a two inch tear that.

435
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: Was his ziglag. The cell was off. The other man

436
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 3: didn't want it.

437
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 5: The painting was now valued at eighty five million dollars.

438
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 5: That one tear resulted in a fifty four million dollar loss.

439
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 3: God give us problems like that.

440
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 5: Mister Wynn found he found what he called an art surgeon,

441
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 5: someone that would sow the individual fibers back together. It

442
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 5: took two months and you couldn't tell the painting had

443
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 5: ever been torn. Six years later he sold the painting

444
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 5: to the same man for one hundred and fifty five

445
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 5: million dollars, sixteen million more than before the terror. The

446
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 5: painting was worth more after it had been torn. When

447
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 5: we've been through disappointments, bad breaks, sometimes it feels like

448
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 5: we've been torn. We lost our value, made mistakes, should

449
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 5: have been more focused. What I love about God is

450
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 5: when he puts you back together like this painting, you.

451
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 3: Come out more valuable.

452
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 5: He knows how to restore in such a way. Nobody

453
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 5: can tell what you've been through. You're not going to

454
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 5: live with a terror, so to speak. What didn't work

455
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 5: out is not going to affect the rest.

456
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 3: Of your life.

457
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 5: That sickness, the divorce, the loss, the bankruptcy doesn't lessen

458
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 5: your value. Quld believe in those lies that you've been

459
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 5: through too much. Don't expect anything good. Don't believe in

460
00:24:59,520 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 5: your dream.

461
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 3: You've been torn, someone did you wrong, You've had setbacks.

462
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 3: Just stay in ziglag. That is not your destiny.

463
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 5: When God gets finished restoring nothing will be missing. The

464
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 5: beauty of our God is even when we make mistakes,

465
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 5: we bring the trouble on ourselves. God doesn't say too bad,

466
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 5: I would restore if you'd perform better. I would help

467
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 5: you if you were more committed.

468
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 3: God is full of mercy.

469
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 5: When we get off course, the moment we turn back

470
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 5: to him, he comes running toward us, not in judgment,

471
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 5: but in mercy. Remember when the prodigal son left home,

472
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 5: wasted all of his money partying, making poor decisions. He

473
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 5: ended up working in a hog pen feeding the hogs.

474
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 5: He got so desperate he had to eat the hog

475
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 5: food to survive.

476
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 3: It was his own fault.

477
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 5: He should have listened to his father, made better decisions.

478
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 5: Now he was dirty, smelly hair, not combed, he decided

479
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 5: to go back home. The father saw him a long

480
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 5: way off and came running toward him. He didn't berat

481
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 5: his son. He didn't tell him you should have known better.

482
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 5: The father never brought up his past. One of the

483
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 5: first things he said was go get the best robe

484
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 5: and put.

485
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 3: It on my son. Not any robe.

486
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 5: Bring the best robe, Get some new shoes for him

487
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 5: to wear. Put the family ring on his finger. Like

488
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 5: that painting This young man was torn. He thought his

489
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 5: value had gone down. He said, Dad, I don't deserve

490
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 5: to be your son. Just let me live out in

491
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 5: the barn work as one of your staff. But the

492
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 5: father who represents God said, in effect, that terror is

493
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 5: nothing for me. When I restore you, nobody will know

494
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 5: what you've been through. A few hours later, after the

495
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 5: young man had showered, put on the best robe, new shoes,

496
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 5: no one would have ever known that he had been torn.

497
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 5: This parable is showing us that when God restores, you're

498
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 5: not going to come out almost as.

499
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 3: Good, grateful that at least you survived.

500
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 5: You're going to come out with nothing missing, fully restored,

501
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 5: full of joy, gifts, coming out healthy, blessed, prosper us.

502
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 5: Get rid of those lies. Say you'll always be a disadvantage.

503
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: Look at the mistakes you've made.

504
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 5: That's the enemy trying to keep you from putting on

505
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 5: the best road. He'd love for you to go through

506
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 5: life feeling condemned, unworthy. Don't take that bait. There's a

507
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 5: best road waiting for you. There's a ring of authority

508
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 5: with your name on it. Or maybe someone else puts

509
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 5: you at a disadvantage. They caused you to tear. It

510
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 5: wasn't even your fault. They didn't lessen your value.

511
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 3: You know why. God is the master surgeon. He knows

512
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: how to restore where no one can tell.

513
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 5: There's a famous poem that talks about a bird with

514
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 5: a broken wing, how even though it's created to fly

515
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 5: and created to soword, because its wing is injured, it

516
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 5: will never get back off the ground. It's very sad,

517
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 5: depressing thought. Someone took the poem and put a new

518
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 5: ending on it. They talked about how when God takes

519
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 5: the bird, he begins to heal, restore, breathe new life

520
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 5: into it. It ends by saying the bird with the

521
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 5: broken wing will fly twice as high Again. What's come

522
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 5: against you has not limited your future.

523
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: You're not tainted. When God restores, You're going to fly

524
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 3: twice as high. You're going to go further. The enemy

525
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 3: minute for harm, but God is turning it to your advantage.

526
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 5: Now get rid of a defeated mindset and switch over

527
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 5: to this nothing missing mentality. God sees everything you've lost.

528
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 5: He hasn't forgotten about you. You may be in ziglag.

529
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 5: Things aren't fair.

530
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 3: God is saying to you what he said to David.

531
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 5: You will surely recover everything that was stolen.

532
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 3: Ziglag is not permanent.

533
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 5: That's a sign you're about to see restoration that God's

534
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 5: about to show.

535
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 3: Out in your life.

536
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 5: I believe and declare nothing is going to be missing

537
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 5: for you, large or small. Your health is coming back,

538
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 5: your family is coming back, dreams are coming back, confidence, breakthroughs, abundance,

539
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 5: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, if you

540
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 5: receive it, can you say.

541
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 3: Him in today?

542
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 5: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the.

543
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: Lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

544
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 5: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come

545
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 5: into my heart.

546
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,480

Speaker 6: a lot in common with a ninth century Viking, is

567
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 6: different to Luna's who after the old man narrowly escaped

568
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 6: being bitten by zombies, which is also different.

569
