I promise you we'll make you 46 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 4: feel right at home. I like to start with something funny, 47 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 4: and I heard about this pastor. He'd been out bear 48 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 4: hunting all day long and searched and searched through the woods, 49 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 4: no sign of a bear. Finally, in frustration, he threw 50 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 4: his gun on the ground and went to the stream 51 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 4: to cool off. About that time, he sees this huge 52 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 4: grizzly running toward him, full speed ahead, about one hundred 53 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 4: yards up in front of him. He fell on his knees, 54 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 4: said God, I need protection. Please convert this bear into 55 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 4: a Christian. Miraculously, the bear froze in his tracks. Put 56 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 4: both pauls toward the heavens, and said, Lord, thank you 57 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 4: for this food that I'm about to eat. Say it 58 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 4: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 59 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 4: what it says I am. I have what it says 60 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 4: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 61 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 4: Today I will talk the word of God. I boldly confess. 62 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 4: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 63 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 4: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 64 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about designed to withstand. 65 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 4: There are times in life we can feel overwhelmed, like 66 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 4: the pressure's too much, we go through a loss, we're 67 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 4: dealing with an illness, or we're not being treated right. 68 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 4: A lady told me how things had come against her 69 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 4: at work and looked like she was going to lose 70 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 4: her position. She said, I can't take it anymore. The worry, 71 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 4: the stress, the demands is too much to handle. She 72 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 4: felt like she was going to collapse under that weight, 73 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 4: like it was unbearable. But Paul said in First Corinthians, 74 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 4: God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted 75 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 4: with more than you can bear, but with the temptation 76 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 4: will make a way of escape so you can bear it. 77 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 4: Paul was saying God will not let you face more 78 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 4: pressure than you can handle. He won't let more weight 79 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 4: come on you that you don't have the strength to bear. 80 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 4: When an architect designs a building, a big skyscraper, he 81 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 4: doesn't just design the outside, what it's going to look like, 82 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 4: the color, the size, the shape. That's important, but it's 83 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 4: of no use if he doesn't design the inner structure. 84 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 4: He calculates all the loads, how much each floor will weigh, 85 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 4: how much wind it will face, how much equipment will 86 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 4: be on it, then he'll know how big the still 87 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 4: beams should be, and how deep the piers in the ground, 88 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 4: how thick the foundation. In California, where they can have earthquakes, 89 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 4: you have to put special reinforcements in the framing, more 90 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 4: than we do here in Florida. The glass has to 91 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 4: withstand hurricane force winds. I was at a hotel in 92 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 4: Colorado during the summer. I notice on the slope roof 93 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 4: all these cables and wires. I didn't know what it was. 94 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 4: I asked the man. He said, those are heaters to 95 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 4: melt the snow. He explained that if you don't keep 96 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 4: the snow off, it can pile up, and that weight 97 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 4: can cause the roof to collapse. The architect specifically designs 98 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 4: each structure so it can withstand the pressure, so it 99 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 4: can bear the weight. The good news is your architect 100 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 4: is the most high god. He not only designed solar 101 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 4: systems and mountain ranges, but he designed you. When he 102 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 4: laid out the plan for your life, he calculated everything 103 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 4: you would face, all the pressure, all the weight, all 104 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 4: the winds. He took into account every hurt, every loss, 105 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 4: every injustice, every mistake, and he designed your beams big 106 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 4: enough your foundation thick enough. He put in you the determination, 107 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 4: the courage, the stamina that no matter what comes against you, 108 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 4: it will not be too much to bear. You've been 109 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 4: designed to withstand the storms, designed to outlast the opposition, 110 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 4: designed to endure until the dream comes to pass. God 111 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 4: wouldn't be just if he knew we were going to 112 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 4: face one hundred and twenty mile an hour winds. But 113 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 4: he only designed us for eighty mile and hour winds. 114 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 4: That wouldn't even pass code. You couldn't get that designed 115 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 4: through city planning. How much more has God put in 116 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 4: you exactly what you need? You may not be able 117 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 4: to see it, but your walls are strong enough, your 118 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 4: foundation is deep enough you can bear whatever comes your way. 119 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 4: God didn't miscalculate when he designs you. He didn't forget 120 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 4: about what environment you'd be in, what conditions you would face. 121 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 4: He didn't accidentally leave out a beam. Now you can't 122 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 4: handle the weight. Nothing you face will cause you to 123 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 4: collapse under the weight. Now, thoughts may tell you it's 124 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 4: too much, you can't handle it. You need to remind yourself. 125 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 4: I've been designed to withstand. I have what it takes. 126 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 4: I am determined enough I'm strong enough, I'm bold enough, 127 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: I am well able Now. An architect doesn't wait till 128 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 4: the pressure comes to see what kind of beams to 129 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 4: put in. He doesn't wait till the middle of the 130 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 4: storm to check the force of the winds to see 131 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 4: how much resistance to decide what kind of structure to build. 132 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 4: It's all calculated ahead of time. It's designed before one 133 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 4: concrete truck shows up, before one hammer is lifted. The 134 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 4: specs are studied, calculated, and approved before construction ever begins. 135 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 4: In the same way, before you were formed in your 136 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 4: mother's womb, your specs were carefully designed. Everything was strategically 137 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 4: and precisely put in you for what you're going to 138 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 4: need when you face big challenges. That means you have 139 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 4: big beams, you have strong infrastructure. You don't really know 140 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 4: what's in you until you get some weight on you. 141 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 4: You don't know what you can handle until the pressure comes. 142 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 4: And when something happens that we've never faced, a loss, 143 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 4: a disappointment, a set back. It's easy to think I 144 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 4: can't handle this, it's going to sink me. The truth 145 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 4: is you wouldn't be facing it unless you could handle it. 146 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 4: If it was too much to bear. God wouldn't have 147 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 4: allowed it. The very fact that it happened is a 148 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 4: sign that you are well able. Now. You may have 149 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 4: never put that kind of pressure on your beams, the 150 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 4: glass walls of your building, so to speak, may have 151 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 4: never experienced winds so strong. That's why you're tempted to 152 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 4: feel overwhelmed. You don't realize the structure has been designed for. 153 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 4: That pressure. Wasn't a surprise to your architect. He knew 154 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 4: ahead of time. That's why he made the glass so strong. 155 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 4: He took into account wins that you never knew you 156 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 4: would encounter. Nothing you face will cause you to collapse. 157 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 4: You've been designed to withstand. Now you can collapse in 158 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 4: your mind, in your thinking. You can give in and think, oh, 159 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 4: this is too much. I'm overwhelmed. I can't handle it. 160 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 4: That's why the scripture tells us, don't faint in your mind. 161 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 4: Your structure is strong enough. Now, get your mind strong enough. 162 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 4: Quit telling yourself it's too big. It's been this way 163 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 4: too long. I can't take it anymore. You are well able. 164 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 4: No weapon formed against you is going to prosper that 165 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 4: different dificult. He didn't come to stay. It came to pass. 166 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 4: But to say we can't handle it is to say 167 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 4: when God designed me, he miscalculated. He didn't make my 168 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 4: foundation deep enough. He left out a beam. I can't 169 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 4: carry this weight. God doesn't make mistakes. The Psalmas said, 170 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 4: you have been fearfully and wonderfully made. It's not just 171 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 4: talking about the outside, our looks, our size, our talents. 172 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 4: That's talking about your specs as well your infrastructure. How 173 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 4: God designed things that you can't see, how he planned 174 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 4: ahead of time for challenges and obstacles. Things you would 175 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 4: think would cause you to collapse. But out of nowhere, 176 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 4: strength rises up. A courage comes, a faith to overcome, 177 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 4: a determination to stand strong and outlast the opposition. When 178 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 4: we acquired this building, it didn't have any rooms for 179 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 4: chillchildren's and youth facilities. It's a big sports arena. We 180 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 4: needed some classrooms, so we built a five story building 181 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 4: on the end that connects through the lobbies. It's our 182 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 4: family life center. We told the architects, one day, we're 183 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 4: going to want to add five more stories. We're going 184 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 4: to need to expand, so they designed the foundation, the peers, 185 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 4: the underground to accommodate ten stories. But when you see 186 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 4: the building. What you see as a five story building. 187 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 4: Unless you have the plans, unless you have the specs, 188 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 4: you don't realize it's designed for ten stories. People driving 189 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 4: down the freeway think the building's finished, it's peaked, that's 190 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 4: as tall as it will ever be. They don't know 191 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 4: what's underground. What enables it to go higher is the 192 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 4: way that the beams can handle the thickness of the foundation. 193 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 4: In the same way, you may think you've reached your limits, 194 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 4: you've been at that same level a long time. Can 195 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 4: I encourage you? You have more floors in you. You've 196 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 4: handled this much pressure, fine, You've gotten comfortable carrying this 197 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 4: much weight. It's no problem. But if you could look 198 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 4: at your specs, if you could see the plans God 199 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 4: has for you, you would notice your beings are much 200 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 4: bigger than what you're carrying right now. You could think 201 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 4: God over designs you. He put things in you that 202 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 4: you don't need. No, He's coming. God has new levels, 203 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 4: and with that increase comes more weight. You're going to 204 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 4: have more pressure. Now. I don't mean pressure in a 205 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 4: bad sense. This is pressure that makes you stretch, makes 206 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 4: you grow, makes you release your faith, believe bigger and 207 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 4: take on new challenges, not just difficulties, but positive pressure 208 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 4: where you discover you can handle things that you never 209 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 4: thought you could handle. For seventeen years I worked behind 210 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 4: the scenes here at Lakewood doing the television production. In 211 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 4: nineteen ninety nine, when my father went to be with 212 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 4: the Lord, I knew I was supposed to step up 213 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,719 Speaker 4: and pasture the church, but I didn't know how it 214 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 4: was going to work out. I had never faced that 215 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 4: much pressure, not only having to get up in front 216 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 4: of people, thoughts telling me I wasn't qualified, nobody was 217 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 4: going to listen, but losing my father was very traumatic. 218 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 4: I had worked with him every day for years. We 219 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 4: had traveled the world together, and now he was gone. 220 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 4: I should have been overwhelmed. The pressure should have caused 221 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 4: me to shrink back and be discouraged. But in the 222 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 4: midst of that turmoil, I felt a strength that I 223 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 4: had never felt, A determination, a resilience, a confidence that 224 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 4: didn't make sense to my mind. When I stepped up 225 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 4: to minister. Yes, I was nervous, I was afraid, but 226 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 4: down deep, I believe that I could do it. I 227 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 4: believed I had what it tanks. There was a boldness 228 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 4: that I had never experienced. I realize now that wasn't 229 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 4: just me being strong. I had been designed for this. 230 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 4: I was designed to withstand the pressure. I was designed 231 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 4: to overcome the loss. I discovered My beams were big enough, 232 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 4: my foundation was strong enough that this didn't catch God 233 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 4: off guard? What am I saying? You've been designed for 234 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 4: everything you're go into face. When you come into things 235 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 4: that seemed too hard, too big, too unfair, things that 236 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 4: should cause you to collapse, don't worry. God knew they 237 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 4: were coming. He already made your beams big enough. You 238 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 4: will be able to bear it. Now. It may be uncomfortable, 239 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 4: you may have to stretch, but that pressure is not 240 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 4: going to stop you. You're going to discover ability that 241 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 4: you didn't oh you had. Even now. I have some opposition, 242 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 4: people that don't understand me, but that no more bothers me. 243 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 4: I never pay any attention to it. For some people, 244 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 4: that would cause them to be negative, bitter, spiteful, But 245 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 4: God's given me the grace to handle it. The pressure 246 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 4: that would cause some people to collapse doesn't affect me. 247 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 4: Whatever is in your future, you have the grace to 248 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 4: handle it. Nothing you face will be beyond what you've 249 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 4: been designed for. But if you would have told me 250 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 4: back in my twenties, when I was behind the scenes, 251 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 4: that one day I would be up here in front 252 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 4: of you every week and have to have something to say, 253 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 4: and we would own the Compact Center, and I'd be 254 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 4: responsible to raise the funds, I'd say, there's no way 255 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 4: I can't carry that much weight. It's because I couldn't 256 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 4: see the infrastructure. I'd never been put under that kind 257 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 4: of pressure. But when when it comes, like with me, 258 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 4: you'll discover your beams are in place, your foundation is 259 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 4: strong enough, your steel is big enough. Now the key 260 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 4: is don't lose the battle in your mind. Your mind 261 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 4: will tell you your five stories when you're designed for ten stories. 262 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 4: Your mind will say it's too much. Shrink back, it's 263 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 4: not fair, it's never going to work out. I might 264 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 4: believe you if your architect live down the street, you 265 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 4: might convince me. If your architect work for a firm downtown, 266 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 4: he could make a mistake. But can I remind you 267 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 4: your architect is the god who spoke worlds into existence. 268 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 4: He doesn't miscalculate. You will never face a situation that 269 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 4: you're not designed for. You will never face pressure that 270 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 4: has to cause you to collapse. A problem that's too big, 271 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 4: a dream where you can't care the weight. And when 272 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 4: I look back over my life at the critical points 273 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 4: where I could have been overwhelmed, my mom being diagnosed 274 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 4: with terminal cancer, the death of my father, the lawsuit 275 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 4: with the Compact Center, every time it was uncomfortable, I 276 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 4: could have been discouraged and given up. But I discovered 277 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 4: not that the pressure went away, but that I could 278 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 4: handle more pressure. I discovered I was designed to carry 279 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 4: more weight. And if you don't face the pressure, you'll 280 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 4: never know who you really are. The higher you go, 281 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 4: the more pressure there will be. The good news is 282 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 4: you have the beams to handle it. At some point 283 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 4: that pressure will subside and you'll see you're stronger than 284 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 4: you think. Some of the things that overwhelmed you ten 285 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 4: years ago, you can look back now and say, like me, 286 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 4: it's no big deal. That trouble at work that almost 287 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 4: gave you a nervous breakdown, but you came through it. 288 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 4: Now things like that don't bother you anymore. It's not 289 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 4: so much that God changed the circumstances. It's that God 290 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 4: changed you. He showed you who you really are. You 291 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 4: thought you'd always be at five stories. You better get ready. 292 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 4: There's a skyscraper in you. There are new levels, new 293 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 4: mountains to climb, new giants to conquers, new skills to learn. 294 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 4: With the new comes more opposition, more weight, more pressure. 295 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 4: Don't let it overwhelm you. Let it inspire you. That 296 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 4: means God's about to add another floor. He's about to 297 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 4: take you higher. Well, Joel, I didn't have a good childhood. 298 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 4: Nobody was there to encourage me to cheer me on. 299 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 4: That wasn't fair. But you have the beams to handle it. 300 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 4: You have the infrastructure to rise above it. That didn't 301 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 4: stop your future. Well, I came down with this illness. 302 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 4: That's why I'm overwhelmed. Isaiah said, take hold of God's strength. 303 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 4: It will be overwhelming if you don't remind yourself that 304 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 4: it's not a surprise to God. He wouldn't have allowed 305 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 4: it if you couldn't bear it. Since he did allow it, 306 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 4: that means you are well able now all through the day. 307 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 4: You need to take hold of his strength. Father, Thank 308 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 4: you that I am strong in the Lord. Thank you 309 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 4: that you are fighting my battles. Thank you that you 310 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 4: being for me is more than the world being against me, 311 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 4: the apostle. Paul faced all kinds of unfair situations. Three times. 312 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 4: He was beaten with rods, he was put in prison 313 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 4: without a trial, He was shipwrecked, spent the night on 314 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 4: the open sea, bitten by a poisonous snake. He could 315 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 4: have collapsed under all the pressure, lived overwhelmed. Yet he's 316 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 4: the one that said, thanks be to God, who always 317 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 4: causes us to trial. He knew God won't let us 318 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 4: face things that we can't handle. If you'll stay in faith, 319 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 4: you'll discover, like Paul, you've been designed to withstand the 320 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 4: pressure that the enemy didn't somehow come up with the 321 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 4: scheme to outwit the God who created you. He can't 322 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 4: send a storm so powerful to knock your walls down. 323 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 4: He can't put so much weight on you that your 324 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 4: beams can't hold up. Paul said, we are pressed on 325 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 4: every side, but we are not crushed. He was saying, 326 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 4: in effect, we've been designed to withstand the difficulty. Our 327 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 4: architect took into account all the trouble, the wind, the 328 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 4: bad break, and he's put in you the courage, the stamina, 329 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 4: the endurance to withstand. As a young man, David was 330 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 4: anointed to be the next king of Israel. But he 331 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 4: didn't go to the palace. He went back to the 332 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 4: shepherd's fields and took care of his father's sheep for years. 333 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 4: I'm sure thoughts told him, David, you're never going to 334 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 4: be the king. You're stuck out here. Nobody pays attention 335 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 4: to you. He could have been discouraged, but he kept 336 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 4: doing the right thing. He eventually defeated Goliath. He went 337 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 4: to the palace to serve King Saul. David was good 338 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 4: to Saul, faithful, loyal, but Saul was jealous of David. 339 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 4: He could see the favor on his life, and while 340 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 4: David was playing the heart for Saul, trying to make 341 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 4: him feel better, out of nowhere, Saul threw a spear 342 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 4: across the room, barely missed David. He had to take off, 343 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 4: running for his life. He spent months in the desert, 344 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 4: hiding in caves, living on the run, with Saul constantly 345 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 4: on his trail. David thought it was difficult those years 346 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 4: in the lonely shepherd's fields, but he had never faced 347 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 4: this kind of pressure, the king trying to kill him. 348 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 4: He could have been overwhelmed, given up, faded into the 349 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 4: sunset but David understood this principle. His attitude was, I've 350 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 4: been designed to overcome this injustice. I know God wouldn't 351 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 4: have allowed it if I couldn't handle it. On the 352 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 4: way to your destiny, there will be opposition, things that 353 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 4: are not fair, people that should be for you but 354 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 4: turn against you. You have to remind yourself you've been 355 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 4: designed for it. You're not going to collapse under that weight. 356 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 4: Your beams are big enough. You don't have to live bitter. 357 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 4: You don't have to get revenge. You can forgive, you 358 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 4: can stay on the high road. May not have been fair, 359 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 4: but like with David, you've been designed to overcome the injustice. 360 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 4: You've been designed to outlast the opposition. If David would 361 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 4: to complain about the Shepherd's fields, let King Saul overwhelm him, 362 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 4: we wouldn't be talking about him. He knew God would 363 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 4: never let him face more than he could bear. He 364 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 4: didn't like it. It was uncomfortable, but he didn't let 365 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 4: the pressure cause him to lose focus and miss his destiny. 366 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 4: We all have these times where we can be overwhelmed. 367 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 4: But the reason you have big opposition is because you 368 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 4: have a big destiny. The good news is. God took 369 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 4: that all into account when he designed your infrastructure. He 370 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 4: didn't give you a big future with weak walls, little beings, 371 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 4: small foundation. You are stronger than you think. You have 372 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 4: more stamina, more endurance, more grace, more forgiveness. Those challenges 373 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 4: are a sign that new floors are coming. God is 374 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 4: about to take you higher, to show you new levels 375 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 4: of increase in favor. Now, don't complain about the difficulties. 376 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 4: That's when you discover what's in you. David discovered courage, perseverance, 377 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 4: faith like he had never seen. If you'll keep the 378 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 4: right attitude that pressure, instead of breaking you, it will 379 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 4: develop you. You'll grow and mature so you can take 380 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 4: your throne. Now. You may be in a time of testing. 381 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 4: Now you feel like the weight is too much to bear. 382 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 4: People at work aren't treating you right. That situation with 383 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 4: your child has you overwhelmed. Have a new perspective. God 384 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 4: is saying you've been designed to withstand. Now you have 385 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 4: to do your part and take hold of His strength. 386 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 4: Instead of thinking all day about how difficult it is. 387 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 4: Turn it around. I can do all things through Christ. 388 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 4: I've been armed with strength for this battle. I may 389 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 4: walk through the valley of the shadow of Death. But 390 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 4: I know a secret. I'm day in here. This valley 391 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 4: is not my home. I'm coming out better, stronger, victorious, 392 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 4: into new levels of my destiny. A friend of mine 393 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 4: came to see this building a few years ago. He's 394 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 4: an engineer. I took him through the lobbies and into 395 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 4: the auditorium, and I brought him here on the platform. 396 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,719 Speaker 4: Showed him the lights, the sound system, the screams, the 397 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,239 Speaker 4: things that are impressive to me. He liked it. But 398 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 4: then he asked me something that no one has ever asked. 399 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 4: He said, can I see the mechanical rooms? I said 400 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 4: the what he said, the mechanical areas, the power plant, 401 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 4: the heating and cooling system, the chilled water pipes. I 402 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 4: didn't even know where they were. I had to get 403 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 4: my brother in law, Keaven. He took us to areas 404 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 4: of this building that I've never seen, huge rooms filled 405 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 4: with equipment, generators, pumps, electrical panels. He showed us big 406 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 4: beams that allow this building to spend over one hundred 407 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 4: yards without a column. My friend couldn't believe it. He 408 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 4: stood there in awe. Well. I left that day with 409 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 4: the new appreciation for this building. It has all kinds 410 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 4: of things behind the scenes, things we can't see, design 411 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 4: and infrastructure that make what we can see so amazing. 412 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 4: In the same way, God has put incredible things in 413 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 4: you that you can't see. You have beams that can 414 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 4: take you much further than you are right now. You 415 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 4: have infrastructure to take you to higher levels, to add 416 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 4: new floors. God didn't design you to reach a certain 417 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 4: level and stay there. You may be at five stories. 418 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 4: Now you're blessed. God's been good to you. What you 419 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 4: can't see is you have a ten story foundation. Where 420 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 4: you are is not your final destination. He not only 421 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 4: designed you to increase, but to withstand the storms. As 422 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 4: you take new ground, there will be new obstacles, the 423 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 4: greater the opportunity, the greater the opposition. In religious terms, 424 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 4: new levels, new devils. Well, whatever you face, remind yourself 425 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 4: you can handle it, not necessarily because you're so great, 426 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 4: but because your architect, the most High God, has designed 427 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 4: you with everything that you need. You will never face 428 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 4: a situation that you cannot bear. Now, when you're tempted 429 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 4: to think I'm overwhelmed, I can't handle this. If you 430 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 4: could only see your mechanical room, if you only knew 431 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 4: what God put in you, you would realize you can't 432 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 4: handle it. You've been designed to withstand. I believe and 433 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 4: declare strength is coming into you in a new way. 434 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 4: Courage is rising up. You will withstand every storm, outlast 435 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 4: every attack, overcome every obstacle, and become everything God's created 436 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 4: you to be in Jesus' name. And if you receive it, 437 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 4: can you say it? Men? Today, I'd like to give 438 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 4: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 439 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 4: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll 440 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 4: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make 441 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 4: you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, 442 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 4: we believe you got born again.
