1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Jolan Victoria. 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 2: Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and thanks 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 2: for supporting the ministry. 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: We believe you're going to have an. 5 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 2: Awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive, and favor filled. 6 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: God bless you today and enjoy the message. 7 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 2: I just want to encourage you today that you have 8 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 2: the power of the Living God on the inside of you. 9 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: Do you ever get tired of hearing that? 10 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 2: I don't either, and I think we constantly need to 11 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: be reminded that God's power lives in us. You see, 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 2: you're equipped this morning, and I want to announce that 13 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: you're equipped for your unique assignment. 14 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: God has left nothing. 15 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 2: Out that you're going to need for anything that He's 16 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: called you to do. 17 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 1: And not only has he thought about you. 18 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 2: I liked what Cindy said that his thoughts for you, 19 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: his plans for you, are good. 20 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: See, he thought about us. 21 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: He knew our assignment, and he put everything in us 22 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 2: that we would need, every gift, every talent, our personalities, 23 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: our dispositions, everything is just right. And then he did 24 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: something one step greater. He put his power in us. 25 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: He put his power in us. So you have the 26 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: Living God on the inside of you. If you're a 27 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 2: believer today. So I don't want you to feel ordinary. 28 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: Because we all do. Sometimes it's just an ordinary life. 29 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: We go to work, we. 30 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: Come home, we eat dinner, we do it again. 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,199 Speaker 1: We get up in the morning, we go mow the lawn, 32 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: We do this, we do. 33 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: It can feel ordinary. But I want to tell you something. 34 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: God didn't save you. He didn't call you. He didn't 35 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: choose you to be ordinary. He called you to be extraordinary. 36 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: And you got to understand, because you have the living God, 37 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: you are extraordinary a part. You're called by God and 38 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: He has assignments for you to do. You See, it's 39 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: so interesting because sometimes people don't recognize the call of 40 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: God on our life. 41 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: They don't understand the call of God. 42 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: Or like I said, we may feel ordinary, we wonder 43 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: if we're accomplishing what God. 44 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: Even wants us to accomplish. 45 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: See, so often we determine the power of God within 46 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: us by what's going on around us. You see, if 47 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: I was maybe doing a little better, if God liked 48 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: me a little more, this wouldn't be happening. Or maybe 49 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: if I could just get a little closer to God, 50 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be going through this trial. 51 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: But can I tell you something that's the way man 52 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: looks at things. 53 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: In fact, God told the prophet Samuel, he said, you're 54 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 2: gonna anoint the next king of Israel. And I want 55 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 2: you to know this one thing about this anointing. You're 56 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 2: gonna anoint the man that I call. But I don't 57 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: want you to begin to look for what you think 58 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: would be the king. I don't want you to look 59 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: for the man that's the right height, the man that's 60 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: in a certain position, the man that has the talents 61 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: that you think would make a good king. He said, 62 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: because I don't look at things that way. That's the 63 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 2: way you look at things. He said, you look from 64 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: the outside. You respond to life from the outside. But 65 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: see I am a God of the inside. Man looks 66 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: on the outside, but God looks on the heart. See 67 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: you're qualified today because God chose you to be qualified. 68 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: He looked at your heart and he said, that's my child. 69 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: You know what I love about that is that God 70 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,119 Speaker 2: is the god of second chances. God is always inside 71 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: of us, working from the inside out. He's working on 72 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: our thoughts, he's working on our actions, working all the time. 73 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: God never sleeps, he never slumbers. He's always at work 74 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: in the heart of a believer. David said it like this, 75 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: He said, you teach me wisdom in my inner most parts. 76 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: That's where you're speaking to me God, in my inner 77 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: most parts. You see, God communicates with us in our 78 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 2: inner most parts. And I want to remind you today 79 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: that you house the greatest power in the universe. I 80 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 2: don't want you to neglect or not protect what's on 81 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: the inside of you. 82 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: You're not ordinary, you're extraordinary. You walk with humility. 83 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 2: Because you know the God that you serve, but He 84 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: hasn't made you like anybody else. 85 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: He separated you. I just want you to get this 86 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: in your heart today because I think. 87 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: When we we realize what we carry will protect what 88 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 2: we carry, we'll acknowledge what we carry will allow what 89 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: we carry to teach us wisdom and our innermost parts. 90 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: We'll understand that we don't have to react to the 91 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: boss when he's putting us down, when he's trying to 92 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 2: make us feel less than. We can understand that the 93 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 2: critics don't have to define us because God is teaching 94 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 2: us all the while in our inmost parts. I want 95 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 2: to just use one of the greatest mothers since it's 96 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 2: Mother's Day, right, I want to talk about one of 97 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 2: the greatest mothers in the Bible. In fact, to this 98 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: mother was the first mother that God lived in, the 99 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 2: first mother that God lived in. 100 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: Her name is Mary. You know Mary. 101 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: You know the story of Mary. She was the mother 102 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: of Jesus. She was a young girl. She was about 103 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 2: to get married to the man of her dreams. If 104 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: somebody might not think she was anything special, if they 105 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: looked on her from the outside, they couldn't say, she's 106 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: just a girl. 107 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: She has a lot to learn. 108 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: But you see, God wasn't looking at Mary's outside. He 109 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: wasn't even looking at Mary's plans. 110 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: He was looking at Mary's heart, and he had a 111 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: unique assignment for Mary. 112 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 2: See that's so interesting because God wasn't concerned about Mary's plans. 113 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: God wasn't concerned that she was about to get married. 114 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: The invitations were already out, the caterers were coming, the 115 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: venue was already paid for. 116 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: You see, he wasn't looking at all that. 117 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: He was looking at her heart, and he had a 118 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: special assignment for her. 119 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: Have you ever been interrupted by God? Well, Mary was interrupted. 120 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: The angel came to her and announced that she was 121 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 2: a highly favored woman and that she would give birth 122 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 2: to a son. 123 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: He said, how can this be. I'm a virgin, I've 124 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: never known a man. 125 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: And he said, the Holy Spirit will come upon you, 126 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: and God will empower you to bring forth this sun. 127 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: You see, that's what happens when you know who you are. 128 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: You know you've got God on the inside of you. 129 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: He empowers you so you can bring forth the things 130 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: on this earth that he wants you to do, the 131 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 2: plans that he's already established. See. I don't know how 132 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 2: it all works, but I can tell you that God 133 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 2: is always working. He's always working. And you know, Mary, 134 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: instead of giving a lot of excuses, say can we 135 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: do this a little bit later. It's kind of inconvenient God, God, 136 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: I've been waiting for this man a long time. 137 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: You don't know all My. 138 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: Girlfriend's got the man. I've been waiting for this man 139 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: a long time. Mary said, being unto me as you said, 140 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: she literally made a decision that she was going to 141 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 2: embrace the sea. That God had just planted the sea 142 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: to promise, and that she was going to accept it, 143 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: no matter if it interrupted her plans or not, no 144 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 2: matter how. 145 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: Difficult it was. 146 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: She said, I'm going all the way with God, and 147 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: I love that about Mary. And as I was reading 148 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: the story about Mary, I just want to get to 149 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 2: some practical things that Mary did, and I think these 150 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: things can help us. We've heard them before, but you know, 151 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: we think that Mary just had it easy. 152 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: Oh Mary, you know. 153 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: She was chosen by God to have the Son of God. 154 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: So I'm sure you know she had everything she needed. 155 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 2: But can I tell you it was rough. It was 156 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 2: rough to birth the promise of God. It was rough 157 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 2: to do what God had called her to do. But 158 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 2: God said she. 159 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: Was favored and highly blessed. So I guarantee you she 160 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: was favored and highly blessed. 161 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 2: No matter how difficult it was, no matter how many 162 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: battles she had to fight, no matter how many times 163 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 2: she had to talk herself into it, because God said 164 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: she was blessed and highly favored. And God says you 165 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 2: were blessed and highly favored. You are blessed and highly favored. 166 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 2: You may be going through some difficult times right now, 167 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: your plans may be interrupted, but I want you to 168 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 2: hear that loud and clear. God chose to live in Mary, 169 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 2: and God chose to live in you. 170 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: God chose to live in you. That's powerful. That's powerful. 171 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 2: Because Mary fulfilled her assignment and brought fulfillment to the scriptures. 172 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: God chose to live in his people. 173 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: I believe that was a foreshadowing of what God wants 174 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 2: to do in the earth. He wants to live in 175 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: his people. But as soon as Mary accepted that seed 176 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 2: to promise, the scripture says that she immediately went to 177 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: her cousin Elizabeth's house. Now, her cousin, Elizabeth was married 178 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 2: to a man named Zachariah, and they were promised, even 179 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 2: in her very old age, that she have a baby. 180 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: She was pregnant with her baby when Elizabeth got there, 181 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 2: And when Elizabeth saw Mary, the scripture should that she 182 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 2: immediately began to encourage Mary. She immediately began to speak 183 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 2: faith into Mary. Now where am I going with this, 184 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: because see that was a long time ago. 185 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: But let me tell you what I believe God is 186 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: showing us. 187 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 2: One thing He is showing us when he puts a 188 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 2: seed of promise in you, you need to protect that 189 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 2: seed to promise. You need to get it into an 190 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 2: environment that it can grow. You need to get into 191 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 2: a good church where the people know what God does 192 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 2: and they can speak encouragement to your heart because that's 193 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 2: exactly where. 194 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: God had Mary go. 195 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 2: He had her in an environment where that environment knew 196 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 2: the power of God. You know, it's interesting. And this 197 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: is just a side note, but I don't know if 198 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 2: y'all find this as interesting as I did. 199 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: But the Bible says that Mary was at Elizabeth's house 200 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: for three months. 201 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting because when a woman gets pregnant, 202 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: that twelve week period is very crucial. Many times you 203 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: can miss Carrie before that twelve weeks. In fact, you know, 204 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 2: some people don't even like to announce that they're pregnant 205 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 2: until after the twelve weeks because that kind of is 206 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 2: a safe zone and you know, okay, it's it's probably 207 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 2: gonna be okay. And I get to thinking, isn't that 208 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: interesting that God had her there for twelve weeks? See, 209 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 2: he didn't want her to Miscarrie the seed. See, he 210 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 2: wanted to keep that seed in an environment that it 211 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 2: could grow in a strong foundation. To think about what 212 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: God said to you, Think about the dreams He's put 213 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: in your heart, Think about Him being on the inside 214 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 2: of you. What environment do you put yourself in? Do 215 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 2: you let people talk down to you. Do you put 216 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 2: yourself in an environment that God wouldn't want to be in? 217 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: Are you careful? Do you protect it? 218 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 2: You see, there were many naysayers when Mary showed up pregnant. 219 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 2: See she was a virgin and God did an immaculate 220 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: birth in her. 221 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: But the people didn't recognize it. 222 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 2: I'm sure they were saying, did you hear about Mary 223 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: and Joseph go weddings off? 224 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: What's Mary been doing? 225 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 2: But you see, God took her out of that environment 226 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 2: and he put her into a protective environment. And I 227 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: just want to suggest to you and I today that 228 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: we begin to put what's in us in a protected environment. 229 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 2: It's not easy to birth the promises of God. Listen, 230 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 2: Mary had to go out of her way, Mary had 231 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 2: to change her plans. Mary had to do some things 232 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 2: that maybe a lot of people wouldn't want to do. 233 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 2: But Mary was willing to see this thing to the end. 234 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 2: It also says that Mary treasured up all of these 235 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: things and pondered them in our heart. See that tells 236 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 2: me that Mary fought discouragement, that Mary fought the critics, 237 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 2: that Mary fought the hardships. By pondering all of this 238 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: in our heart by just imagining and talking to God 239 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 2: about all that was about to happen and all that 240 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 2: would happen in the future. 241 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: And see, that's what we need to do. 242 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 2: We need to not just run around telling everybody our problems. 243 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: Now just try to get man to fix us. Oh 244 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: can you help me? 245 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: Now? We need to ponder what God has spoken to us, 246 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: get his word, build a. 247 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 1: Foundation of truth so that when we. 248 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 2: Go out to birth what God putting in us, we'll 249 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: withstand the challenges that are out there. You know what, 250 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 2: this is Mother's Day and I just want to honor Mary. 251 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 2: I want to just say, Mary, God saw your heart, 252 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 2: You saw it through you fulfill the scriptures. 253 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: And I just honor the fact that God chose Mary 254 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: among all the women. She was qualified. And can I 255 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: tell you that God has chose you among all the people, 256 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: and He's qualified you. He's chose to live in you 257 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: today just like he lived in Mary. Protect what He's 258 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: given you, birth what He's. 259 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: Put in you, and I believe you'll see God do 260 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 2: the impossible just. 261 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: Like Mary did. Amen. Amen, He's an awesome God. 262 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 2: Y
