1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. 2 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 2: the ministry.

Please don't be offended. But I heard about 12 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: this blonde lady. She was driving down the freeway when 13 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 2: she was pulled over by a female police officer who 14 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: also happened to be blonde. The officer asked to see 15 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: her driver's license. The lady Doug and Doug and her purse, 16 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 2: getting more and more agitated, couldn't find it. Finally, I 17 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,639 Speaker 2: asked the officer what it looked like. The officer said, 18 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 2: it's a little square that has your picture on it. 19 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 2: The lady pulled out a mirror and saw herself and said, oh, 20 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 2: handed it to the officer. The looked at the mirror 21 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: and saw herself handed it back. He said, okay, you 22 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 2: can go. I didn't realize you were a police officer. 23 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna need a ride home, but here 24 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 2: we go. This is my Bible. I am what it 25 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: says I am. I have what it says I have. 26 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 2: I can do what it says I can do. Today 27 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 28 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 2: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 29 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 30 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you today about it's payback time. 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 2: We all go through unfair situations. We were overlooked for 32 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: a promotion, or came down with an illness, or somebody 33 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: walked out. 34 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: Of a relationship. 35 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 2: It's easy to get discouraged and think that's just life, 36 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 2: a bad break. Nothing I can do about it. You 37 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: may not be able to, but God can. He's a 38 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 2: God of justice. He has seen everything you've been through, 39 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: every person that did you wrong, lonely night, every tear. 40 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: He said in Hebrews, I will repay the exact compensation 41 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: owed you. It may not have been fair, but don't worry. 42 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: Payback is coming. 43 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 2: God is going to make up for the wrongs that 44 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 2: were done to you. Those people that put you at 45 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: a disadvantage. Don't live bitter thinking. You have to get even. 46 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 2: It's not your battle. The battle is the lord's. He 47 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: knows what you're owed. He's keeping the records. He'll not 48 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: only take care of the opposition, he'll make it up 49 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 2: to you. You may have been raised in an unhealthy environment. 50 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: Nobody was there to make you feel encouraged, loved, and valuable. 51 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: It seems like that sets you back, but. 52 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: People don't determine your destiny. What you didn't get, who 53 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 2: wasn't there for you is not going to keep you 54 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 2: from your purpose. God sees how you were treated and 55 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 2: he's saying payback is coming. 56 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: He's going to show. 57 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: You favor because of what happen. The enemy minute to 58 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: stop you. God's going to use it to increase you. 59 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 2: He's going to open new doors, bring opportunity, joy fulfillment 60 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: that you wouldn't have seen if that had not happened. 61 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 2: Instead of being discouraged, turn it around, Father, thank you 62 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: that payback is coming. I know you're on the throne. 63 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 2: You're fighting my battles. You're my vindicator because you honor 64 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: God because you're keeping him first place. You have an advantage. 65 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: You're on his payroll. Now, Quit living worried thinking you're 66 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: falling behind. Those people at work left you out. Now, 67 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: you could never get to where you want to be. 68 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 1: God is in control. 69 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: One touch of his favor will catapult you ahead. He 70 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: knows how to move the wrong people out of the way. 71 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: They may be stopping you now, but they're not going 72 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: to stop you your whole life. 73 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: Why payback is coming. 74 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: Keep doing the right thing when the thing is happening. 75 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: You are not working under people. You are working under God. 76 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: When you know you're on his payroll. You don't get 77 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: upset when unfair things happen, or discourage because somebody is 78 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: treating you badly, or give up on a dream because 79 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 2: you had a disappointment. 80 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: You know payback is coming. Here's what I've learned. 81 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: Nobody can pay you back like God can pay you back. 82 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: Just ask the Israelites. 83 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: They had been in slavery for four hundred and thirty years, 84 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: one generation after another, mistreated, forced to work long hours, 85 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: given quotas that were impossible to meet. I'm sure they 86 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: thought that was their destiny. That's the way it be 87 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 2: for their children, their grandchildren. It was just bad luck. 88 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: They were born at the wrong time, born into hardship. 89 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 2: Things may not change overnight, but if you'll stay in faith, 90 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: there will come a point where God will say enough 91 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: is enough, is payback time. He's going to turn things around, 92 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: not just bring you out. He'll pay you back for 93 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: the injustice. He's going to pay you. 94 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: Back for an unfair childhood. 95 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: He's going to pay you back for the promotion that 96 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: should have been yours, or pay you back from those 97 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 2: people that tried to damage your reputation. God said, I 98 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,119 Speaker 2: have seen the afflictions of my people. I have heard 99 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: their cries, and I am coming down to deliver them. 100 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: You may have been in a difficulty for a long time. 101 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 2: God is saying to you what he said to them, 102 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: I am coming down. 103 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: To do something about it. This is a new day. 104 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 2: What has hindered you in the past, the sickness, the betrayal, 105 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: the people that did you wrong, that is not permanent. 106 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: Payback is coming, Healing is coming, Vindication is coming, promotion 107 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: is coming, New relationships are coming. You were not created 108 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: to go through life lonely. And that person that left you, 109 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: that didn't recognize your value. That maybe told you you're 110 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: not smart enough, good enough, attractive enough. Don't believe those lies. 111 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: You've been made in the image of Almighty God. He 112 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 2: calls you a masterpiece. He's crowned you with favor. He 113 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: moved that person away so he could bring someone that 114 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 2: recognizes who you are, someone that celebrates you, that cherishes you, 115 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: that can't wait to be with you. When God pays 116 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: you back, it's going to exceed your expectations. You're going 117 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: to think I never dreamed life could be this great, 118 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: never dreamed I could feel this good, never dreamed I'd 119 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: be this blessed, this happy, this fulfilled. That's the God who. 120 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: Pays you back. 121 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 2: Now, I believe you are closer than you think. Things 122 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 2: are about to shift in your favor. People that are 123 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 2: against you are suddenly going to sh and before you. 124 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 2: They don't even understand why. They can't explain it. They 125 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 2: didn't have a choice. It's God causing them to be 126 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: good to you. That sickness looks permanent. The medical report says, 127 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: learn to live with it. No, get ready, it's about 128 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: to shift. 129 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: Healing is coming, Wholeness is coming. 130 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 2: That struggle, the lack not able to get ahead. Maybe 131 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: you can look back. It's been in your family line 132 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 2: for generations. Nobody's been able to break out. Get ready, 133 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: you're the one. A shift is coming. Ideas, creativity, promotion, contracts, 134 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 2: real estate, it's going to come into your hands. That's 135 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: God paying your back. Some of this payback is from 136 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 2: what your forefathers worked for and didn't receive. They weren't 137 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: treated right, they weren't respected given what they deserved. But 138 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: God has all the records what your family is owed. 139 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: You're going to come into generational payback blessings that have 140 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 2: been accruing in your family's account. God has not forgotten 141 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: about your great grandparents that honored him, people in your 142 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: family line that did the right thing but didn't get 143 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: what they deserved. 144 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: Part of this payback is houses that you didn't. 145 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: Build, favor, that you didn't work for, promotions when you 146 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 2: didn't have the qualifications. 147 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: He's a god of justice, He's going to pay you back. 148 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 2: Moses went to the Pharaoh and told him that God 149 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 2: said to let the Israelites go, but he wouldn't. 150 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: Listen to Moses. 151 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: So God sent plague after plague on Pharaoh and his people. 152 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: He finally changed his mind. As the Israelites left, some 153 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,479 Speaker 2: two million people, I'm sure they were excited, singing, dancing. 154 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: This was a dream come true. After generations they were 155 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 2: going to have to work these long hours, live oppressed 156 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: and burdened. This was a great miracle in itself, just 157 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: to be free. They were satisfied, But God wasn't satisfied. 158 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 2: He said in Exodus three, I will see to it 159 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 2: that the Egyptians treat you well. They will load you 160 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 2: down with gifts, so you will not leave empty handy. 161 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: On their way. 162 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 2: Out, the Israelites asked their captors for their gold, their silver, 163 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 2: their jewelry, their clothing. God gave them favor, and they 164 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 2: freely gave it to the Israelites. For generations, they had 165 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 2: been loaded down with burdens, loaded down with injustice. Now 166 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 2: they were loaded down with blessings, loaded down with valuables. 167 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: They left pushing wheelbarrows full of treasures. What was that 168 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 2: God paying them back for four hundred and thirty years 169 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 2: of injustice. God saw what was unfair not only to them, 170 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: but to the generations before them. God is keeping the records. 171 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: You may be satisfied. If God would just turn it 172 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 2: around you'd be happy if God just brought you out 173 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 2: of the difficulty. But God is not satisfied. He's going 174 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: to make the enemy pay. You are not going to 175 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 2: come out empty handed. You are going to come out loaded, 176 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: better than you were promoted, stronger, healthier, at a new level. 177 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 2: I can imagine a mother taking a gold necklace putting 178 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 2: it on her daughter. The little girl has never worn 179 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 2: a necklace. Now she feels so valuable, so special. Everywhere 180 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: she goes. When people see it, it's a reminder that 181 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: God not only brought them out, but he paid them back. 182 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 2: You may be in an unfair situation. You don't understand 183 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 2: why it happened, why you came down with an illness 184 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 2: while you went through a loss, why those people at 185 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 2: weren't are against you. 186 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: Don't worry. 187 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: God sees it. You are not going to come out 188 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: empty handed. He is going to pay you back in 189 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 2: such a way that other people are going to see 190 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,479 Speaker 2: the favor on your life. The scripture says the Israelites 191 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: went into Egypt in great distress, but they came out 192 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 2: with great abundance. How you go in does it determine 193 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,359 Speaker 2: how you're going to come out. You may go in addicted, 194 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: You're going to come out free. 195 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: You may go in sick, you're going to come out healthy. 196 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: You may go in mistreated injustice, you're going to come 197 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: out vindicated, paid back. You may go in struggling in debt, 198 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: but you're going to come out with great abundance. I 199 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 2: talked to a lady. She owns her own business. For years, 200 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 2: she'd rented space in this shopping mall. She's always been 201 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 2: a great tenant, always paid her bills on time. One day, 202 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 2: she received an email from the landlord saying that they 203 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 2: were going to double her rent. This came out of 204 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: the blue for no reasoning. She knew she couldn't make 205 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 2: a profit paying that much. They were basically forcing her out. 206 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 2: It was unfair. She was concerned, didn't know what she 207 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: was going to do. She turned the television on, and 208 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 2: there I was. I was talking about how trouble can 209 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 2: be transportation, how sometimes God will allow difficulties to move 210 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: us ahead, how we can trust that He's in control, 211 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 2: that he will make these wrongs right. Deep down, she 212 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: knew everything was going to be all right. She came 213 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 2: back to a place of peace. A couple of days later, 214 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 2: another landlord that had space two doors down contacted her. 215 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 2: She didn't go looking for him, He came looking for her. 216 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: He offered her twice the amount of space that she 217 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 2: currently had for half the amount of rent. She couldn't 218 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 2: believe it. She gladly moved to the new location. God 219 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 2: knows how to pay you back. 220 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: He knows what's not fair. 221 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: He sees every sparrow that falls to the ground, every 222 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 2: little bird. How much more does God see everything that 223 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 2: happens with you? You don't have to live worried thinking 224 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 2: the disappointment, the bad break is the end. That setback 225 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: is really a set up for God to show out 226 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 2: in your life. Isaiah said, God will give you a 227 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: twofold recompense for the unfair things that have happened. That 228 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 2: means God will pay you back double. It's not a 229 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 2: coincidence that that lady got twice the space for half 230 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 2: the rent. It's not a coincidence. In the scripture, after 231 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 2: all the heartache and pain, Job came out with twice 232 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 2: the cattle, twice the sheep, twice what he had. It's 233 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 2: not a coincidence. When property was sold out from under us, 234 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 2: we acquired the Compact Center. This place we went from 235 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 2: an eight thousand seed auditorium to sixteen thousand seat auditorium, 236 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 2: exactly double. When you go through unfair situations, somebody does 237 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: you wrong. Instead of being sour, have a new perspective. 238 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 2: They just qualified you for double. You may not like it, 239 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: it may not have been fair. 240 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: Stay in faith. 241 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: When God pays you back, you're not going to come 242 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 2: out the same like the Israelites. 243 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: You're going to come. 244 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 2: Out loaded down with blessings. This is what happened to Jacob. 245 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 2: He made an agreement to work for his uncle Laban 246 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: for seven years. In return, Laban would give him his 247 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: daughter Rachel to marry. Jacob worked faithfully these seven years, 248 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: increasing Laban's flocks many times over. He made Laban a 249 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 2: very wealthy man. But Laban changed his mind. He said, Jacob, 250 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 2: you can marry my daughter Leah, but if you want 251 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: to marry Rachel, you're gonna have to work another seven years. 252 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: That wasn't what they agreed to. It was unfair. He 253 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: was dishonest. Jacob went ahead and did it. 254 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 2: At the end of the fourteen years, he told Laban 255 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 2: that he was going to move back to his hometown 256 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 2: with Rachel and his family. Well, Laban felt kind of 257 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 2: guilty because he'd hardly paid Jacob anything. He asked Jacob 258 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: what he could do for him. Jacob said, I'll work 259 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 2: for you a little longer. 260 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: I don't want any money. 261 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: Just let me have the sheep and goats that are 262 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: spotted and streaked. You can have all the solid colored animals. 263 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 2: That way, when I leave, you'll know I'm not taking 264 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: anything that belongs to you. Well, there were very few 265 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 2: streaked and spotted animals, so Laban quickly agreed. 266 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: He thought this is a great deal. 267 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 2: He was so dishonest he snuck out in the middle 268 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: of the night and removed all the spotted and streaked 269 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: animals and put them in a different pasture. That way, 270 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 2: the solid colored animals couldn't make with the other ones, 271 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: and Jacob wouldn't have as much. What Laban didn't realize 272 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 2: is God controls the universe when he is ready to 273 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 2: pay you back. Unfair people can't stop him. Bad brakes 274 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: can't stop him. All the forces of darkness cannot keep 275 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 2: him from bringing justice into your life. When those solid 276 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 2: colored animals mate it, you know what color their offspring 277 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: was streaked and spotted. 278 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: God has the final say. 279 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 2: He's not limited by the laws of nature, by an 280 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 2: unfair boss, by what somebody says. Laban was over there, 281 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 2: shaking his head, thinking how in the world did that happen. 282 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 2: He was so frustrated. He said, Jacob, I want to 283 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: change the agreement. From now on, you only get the 284 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 2: spotted colored animals. Jacob said, fine, Now all the animals 285 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 2: that were born were spotted colored. Laban said, I want 286 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: to change the agreement again. Now I want the spotted 287 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 2: colored animals. Now all the animals that were born were 288 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 2: solid colored. The blessing followed Jacob. He left there with 289 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: more flocks than his uncle Laban. What was that God 290 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 2: paying him back? Maybe someone is not keeping their word 291 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 2: with you. They changed the agreement. They're not being honest. 292 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: Don't worry. God is keeping the records. He's going to. 293 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 2: Make things happen that not only they can't stop, but 294 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 2: they can't explain. They're going to be scratching their heads thinking, 295 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 2: how did you get so blessed? The more they tried 296 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 2: to push you down, the more you rose up. The 297 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 2: more they tried to discredit you, leave you out, ignore you, 298 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 2: the more God causes you to shine. They're doing their 299 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 2: best to limit you They don't realize you're not on 300 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 2: people's payroll, You're on God's pay roll. Jacob said Genesis 301 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 2: thirty one, Laban, you would have sent me out without 302 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: one penny. 303 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: But God has seen how unfair you've been to me. 304 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 2: That's why he's vindicated me and given me an abundance. 305 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 2: Like with Jacob, God sees what's unfair. He's not going 306 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: to just bring you out. He's going to bring you 307 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 2: out with abundance. He has not brought you this far 308 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 2: to leave you the disappointments, the bad breaks, the people 309 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 2: that did you wrong. That is not the end. The 310 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 2: enemy would love to convince you to live discouraged, give 311 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 2: up on dreams, settle where you are. 312 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: Don't believe those lies. 313 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 2: Those setbacks are setting you up for a new level 314 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 2: of your destiny. In the scripture, Abraham's nephew Lot was 315 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 2: captured by an enemy army. They raided his property and 316 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 2: took Lot and all of his children, his family, everything 317 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 2: that he owed. One of his men escaped and went 318 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 2: and told Abraham what happened. Abraham called his men together, said, 319 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 2: Lots in trouble. We have to go rescue him. They 320 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 2: snuck up on the enemy army at night and attacked 321 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 2: them from all different sides. The scripture says Abraham recovered 322 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 2: all that was stolen Lot, with all of his possessions, 323 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 2: all of his family, all of his children. What's interesting 324 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 2: is Lot wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. 325 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 2: God told Abraham to leave his relatives and go to 326 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 2: a new land, but Abraham decided to take Lot with him. 327 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 2: God could have said, Abraham, Lot's in trouble, but too bad. 328 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 2: It's your fault. I told you not to bring him. 329 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 2: But God is so merciful even when we make mistakes, 330 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 2: even when it's our fault, he says, I'm still going 331 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: to help you. Abraham recovered all. Maybe you've made mistakes. 332 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 2: You're thinking, Joel, God's not cole pay me back. I 333 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 2: can understand if it was unfair, if somebody did me wrong, 334 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 2: but this was my fault. I brought the trouble on myself. 335 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 2: God is saying to you what he said to Abraham. 336 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to help help you recover all. 337 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: Maybe you didn't raise your children right now they're off. Course, 338 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: You're gonna recover all your children. You spent money that 339 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 2: you didn't have. Now you're over your head. You're gonna 340 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 2: recover all your finances. You didn't take care of your body, 341 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 2: maybe you gave into addictions. You're gonna recover all your health, 342 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 2: not partial recovery, partial freedom, fully recovered, fully healthy, fully blessed. 343 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: God is saying you're. 344 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 2: Gonna get it all back, all your finances, all your children, 345 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 2: all your health, all your dreams, everything that has been stolen. Luke, 346 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 2: chapter seventeen. Ten lepers saw Jesus walking through their village, 347 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: and leprosy was a dreaded disease would cause the skin 348 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 2: to become so infected, get so bad that sometimes raw 349 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 2: flesh would start showing. Parts of the body would become dismembered. 350 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: A finger, a toe would rot and eventually fall off, 351 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 2: or hands or years curl up and become useless. These 352 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 2: lepers called out for mercy, asking Jesus to come heal them. 353 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 2: But Jesus didn't go and pray for them. He didn't 354 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: lay hands on them, He didn't even speak healing. He 355 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: told them to go show themselves to the priest. That's 356 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 2: what you would normally do after you were healed. They 357 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 2: could have thought, I'm not healed yet. Be a waste 358 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 2: of time. Once I see my healing, I'll go. They 359 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 2: didn't realize their healing was dependent on their obedience. When 360 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 2: God asked you to do something, don't debate it, don't 361 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 2: try to figure it out, don't call ten friends and 362 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 2: get their opinion. Just do it. When you obey, a 363 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 2: blessing always follows. The scripture says, as they went they 364 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: were healed. I can imagine as they were walking to 365 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 2: the priest, hands that had been gnarled for years suddenly 366 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 2: begin to open up. Maybe a finger bea begins to 367 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 2: grow out, a toe that was missing begins to reform. 368 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: An ear that all curled up begins to straighten out 369 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 2: like a movie. Parts of their bodies that were dismembered, disfigured, 370 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 2: begin to. 371 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: Morph back to normal. 372 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 2: By the time they got to the priests, they were 373 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 2: perfectly well. These were unusual miracles, things that seemed impossible, 374 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 2: rotting flesh, a finger missing. 375 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: Can't do anything about that. 376 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 2: But nothing is too difficult for our God. 377 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: Like these lepers. 378 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 2: You may have a situation that looks too far gone, 379 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 2: like it could never work out. But God has some 380 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: of these unusual miracles for you, unusual healing, unusual favor 381 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 2: unusual promotion. It's something that you haven't seen out of 382 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,959 Speaker 2: the ordinary. It's never happened in your life. 383 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: Get ready. Payback is coming. 384 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 2: The enemy may have done his best, but his best 385 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 2: was not enough. God has the final say. He said 386 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 2: in the Book of Joel, I will repay you for 387 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 2: the years that the locusts have eaten. That was talking 388 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 2: about crops. They had lost, insects that had wiped out 389 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 2: their harvest. They had struggled for years. They thought that 390 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 2: was their destiny. But the next verse says, you will 391 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 2: eat in plenty and be satisfied. God is saying this 392 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 2: to you. I'm going to repay you for the years 393 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 2: the enemy has stolen me. Years you were mistreated, Years 394 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 2: you were lonely. Years you were sick, addicted, depressed. God 395 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 2: is about to repay you. You're going to have plenty 396 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 2: of joy, plenty of health, plenty of friends, plenty of opportunities, 397 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 2: plenty of resources. You're not only going to be satisfied. 398 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: You're going to be amazed. 399 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 2: That's the most high God paying you back. 400 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: I know this lady. 401 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 2: She got off to a rough start in life. She 402 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 2: dropped out of high school at fifteen and had her 403 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 2: first baby at sixteen. She didn't have any guidance and 404 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 2: she ended up spending three years in prison with a 405 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 2: felony offense for writing two thousand dollars worth of bad checks. 406 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 2: Because she had a felony, she lost her right to vote. 407 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: This really bothered her. 408 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 2: When she got out of prison, the only job she 409 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 2: could find was working as a bartender. There was a 410 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 2: man that lived by the bar that was constantly encouraging her, 411 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 2: telling her this bar is not where you belong. God 412 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 2: has something better for you. One day you're going to 413 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 2: own your own business. One day you're going to get 414 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 2: your voting rights back. She would weep and weep. This 415 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 2: sounded too good to be true. She thought, that's impossible. 416 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 2: I have a felony. How could that happen? All the 417 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 2: circumstances said. 418 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: She was stuck. The odds were against her. 419 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 2: But God has unusual faith, unusual opportunities. There was a 420 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: lady close by that had a restaurant for sale. 421 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: This young lady. 422 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 2: Wanted to buy it, but she didn't have the funds. 423 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 2: She went to the lady and told her her story. 424 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 2: The lady said there was a man in the restaurant 425 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 2: business that really wanted to purchase it. But there's something 426 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 2: special about you, something that I really like. I don't 427 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 2: need your money. I'm going to give you my restaurant. 428 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,479 Speaker 2: She has been in business now there eleven years plus. 429 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 2: Recently she opened up a second restaurant. 430 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: A while back. 431 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 2: The governor's office called and informed her that the governor 432 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 2: was giving her a pardon. She got her voting rights back. 433 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,239 Speaker 2: Is there anything too hard for our God? You may 434 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 2: have made mistakes, but God is full of mercy. May 435 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 2: look impossible, but God has all power. He knows what 436 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 2: you've been through. He knows what was fair. 437 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: He's saying today. 438 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 2: Payback is coming, not partial, not halfway, not ninety percent. 439 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 2: You're going to get it all back. I believe and declare. 440 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 2: God is going to restore the years that the enemy 441 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 2: has stolen. You're not going to come out empty handed 442 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 2: like the Israelites. 443 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: You're going to come out loaded down. 444 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 2: Unusual favor, unusual healing, unusual breakthroughs, the fullness of your 445 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 2: destiny in Jesus's name, And if you receive it, can 446 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 2: you say him in today? But I'd like to give 447 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 2: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 448 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 2: Would you pray with me, just say, Lord Jesus, I 449 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 2: repent of my sins. 450 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: Come into my heart.
