53
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 5: in and thanks again for coming out today. I like

54
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 5: to start with something funny, and I heard about these

55
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 5: three men that were traveling together. It was a Hindu priest,

56
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 5: a Jewish rabbi, and a televangelist.

57
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: They stopped at.

58
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 5: A farmhouse for lodging. The farmer said, I only have

59
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 5: room for two of you in the house. Somebody will

60
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 5: have to stay in the barn. The Hindu priest said,

61
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 5: I'll do it. A few minutes there was a knock

62
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 5: on the door, said, I can't stay out there. There's

63
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 5: a cow and cows are sacred in our religion. The

64
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 5: Jewish rabbi said, I'll do it. A few minutes later,

65
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 5: a knock on the door said, I.

66
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 3: Can't stay out there. A pig that wouldn't be kosher.

67
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 5: The televangelist finally said, all right, I'll do it.

68
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: In a few minutes.

69
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 5: There was a knock on the door. It was the

70
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 5: cow and the pig. I'm the only one that got it.

71
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 5: Here we go, ready, this is my Bible. I am

72
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 5: what it says I am. I have what it says

73
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 5: I have. I can do what it says I can do.

74
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 5: Today I will be taught the word of God. I

75
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 5: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

76
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 5: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

77
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 5: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

78
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 5: trouble is temporary. We all face difficulties that don't look

79
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 5: like they'll ever change. Seems like the more we pray,

80
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 5: the worse it gets.

81
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: We don't see any sign of things improving.

82
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 5: It's easy to live discouraged and accept that it's not

83
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 5: meant to be. But Paul said in Second Corinthians, our

84
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 5: present troubles are small and won't last very long. These

85
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 5: troubles will soon be over, but the joy to come

86
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 5: will last forever. What you're up against may look permanent,

87
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: seems like it's going to take years to get well.

88
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 5: Years to get out of debt, years to meet the

89
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 5: right person. Don't be fooled by what you see. God

90
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 5: is saying, the trouble is only temporary. It's not going

91
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 5: to last very long.

92
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: Soon, it's going to be over. Soon.

93
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 5: You're going to see the breakthrough. Soon, your health is

94
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 5: going to turn around. Soon, you're going to meet the

95
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 5: person of your dreams. You may not see how this

96
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 5: can happen. Everything in your reasoning says it's not possible.

97
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 5: You're looking at it in the natural. We serve a

98
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 5: supernatural God. He can make things happen that you can't

99
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 5: make happen. And instead of thinking of all the reasons

100
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 5: why it's not going to work out, how it's going

101
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 5: to take forever, try a different approach. Father, Thank you

102
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 5: that this difficulty will soon be over. Thank you that

103
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 5: this sickness, this depression, this family problem will not last

104
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 5: very long. Joel, it's already been a long time. That

105
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 5: means you are very close to seeing it turn around.

106
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: You're on the verge of a breakthrough.

107
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 5: You're about to see freedom, promotion, problems suddenly resolved, dreams

108
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 5: suddenly come to pass. Not in the suite by and by,

109
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 5: but soon things are going to change soon. That child

110
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 5: is going to get back on course soon. That new

111
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 5: door is going to open soon. The right person is

112
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 5: going to show up.

113
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: Soon. You're going to come into overflow. Now.

114
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 5: You have to get in agreement with God and have

115
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 5: assuon mentality. As long as you think it's going to

116
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 5: take years, that's going to stop God from working. When

117
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 5: you have this soon mentality, you get up each morning

118
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 5: with expectancy, knowing that this could be the day that

119
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 5: God shows out in your life.

120
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: When is your health going to turn around?

121
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 5: I don't know, Joel. This medical report doesn't look very

122
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 5: good at all. That's one report. I'm giving you another

123
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 5: report soon. Things are going to change in your favor.

124
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: When are you going to get out of debt?

125
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 5: Looks like it's gonna take me one hundred and twelve

126
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 5: years to pay everything off. You're gonna be in heaven

127
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 5: by then. How about soon? I'm coming out of debt soon.

128
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 5: I'm on lend and not borrow. How can that happen?

129
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 3: God owns it all.

130
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 5: One touch of his favor and you'll have more than

131
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 5: an hour. One good break, one idea, one contract.

132
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: In everything will change.

133
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 5: When are you going to overcome that addiction soon. When

134
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 5: are you going to meet the right person soon?

135
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: When is that.

136
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 5: Legal issue going to resolve soon? When are you going

137
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 5: to sell that property soon? When are you going to

138
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 5: start your business soon? Your mind will tell you all

139
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 5: the reasons it's not going to happen. Your problem's too big.

140
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 5: The people that you're up against are too powerful. It's

141
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 5: been that way too long. Don't believe those lies. Receive

142
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 5: this into your spirit. The problem will soon be over.

143
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 5: The loneliness will soon be gone. The anxiety, the grief,

144
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 5: the barrenness, not able to have a child is coming

145
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 5: to an end soon. These present troubles will not last

146
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 5: very long. Job went through a great difficulty. He was

147
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 5: doing the right thing, honoring God, and the bottom fell out.

148
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 5: He lost his business, lost his children, lost his health,

149
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 5: head boils all over his body. Just because we're people

150
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 5: of faith doesn't mean we won't have difficulties. You can

151
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 5: be doing the right thing and come into trouble. The

152
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 5: scripture says, rain falls on the just and the unjust.

153
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 5: When it rains at my house, my property gets wet,

154
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 5: My next door neighbors, people across the street, everyone in

155
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 5: the neighborhood. The rain doesn't discriminate. Don't get discouraged by difficulties.

156
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: It's just life.

157
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 5: The promise we have is not that trouble won't come,

158
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 5: but the trouble is not going to last. Soon, the

159
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 5: trouble will be over. When you're in difficulties, things happened

160
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 5: like with Job that you don't understand. He came down

161
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 5: with an illness.

162
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: People at work turned on you. You had to set

163
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: back in your business.

164
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 5: It's easy to live worried thinking that it's never going

165
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 5: to work out. You have to remind yourself it is

166
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 5: not permanent. It is not going to last long. Soon,

167
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 5: it will resolve all.

168
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: Through the day. You need to keep this in your heart.

169
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 5: Father, thank you that this trouble is only temporary, that

170
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 5: it didn't come to stay. It came to pass, thinking

171
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 5: that it will soon be over. When Job looked at

172
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 5: all his circumstances, everything that went wrong, all that he

173
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 5: had lost, he got depressed. He sat down in the

174
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 5: ashes and wanted to die. One reason he was so

175
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 5: discouraged is he solved the trouble as permanent. He didn't

176
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 5: see any way he could get out as long as

177
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 5: he had this forever mentality. This is how my life

178
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 5: is all always going to be, He felt overwhelmed. When

179
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 5: you have a setback, thoughts will tell you it's permanent.

180
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 5: You'll never get well, you'll never be happy again, you'll

181
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 5: never meet someone. If you believe those forever lies, you'll

182
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 5: get discouraged and lose your passion. God won't let you

183
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 5: get in a situation that he can't bring you out of.

184
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 5: If the trouble was too much, the sickness too great,

185
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 5: the opposition too strong, he wouldn't.

186
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: Have allowed it. It's a test. What are you going

187
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: to do?

188
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 5: Get discouraged, give up on dreams, live defeated, or are

189
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 5: you going to believe that God is on the throne,

190
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 5: that he's bigger than what you're facing, that the trouble

191
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 5: is temporary, that it's not.

192
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: Going to last long.

193
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 5: What you believe in times of trouble will determine whether

194
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 5: you come out or whether you get stuck there. And

195
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 5: at one point Job changed his attitude. Instead of sitting

196
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 5: around defeated, he got up out of the ashes, looked

197
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 5: toward the heavens and said, I know my Redeemer lives.

198
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 5: He was saying, I know God is still on the throne.

199
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 5: I know this difficulty can't stop my destiny. What He

200
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 5: has purposed for my life will come to pass. He

201
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 5: shifted to an attitude of faith. God, let us see

202
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 5: both sides of job, him discouraged, despondent, then him switching

203
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 5: over to faith, to let us know.

204
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: It's okay to feel things.

205
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 5: It's okay to have times when you feel discouraged. You

206
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 5: don't see how it can work out. It's okay to

207
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 5: start there, but.

208
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 3: Don't finish there.

209
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 5: Don't stay in the ashes, don't stay defeated. At some

210
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 5: point you have to do like job and say, I

211
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 5: know my redeemer lives. I know God didn't bring me

212
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 5: this far to leave me. I know this problem is

213
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 5: not permanent. Lord, thank you that it will soon be over.

214
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 5: Do you know what that does to the enemy when

215
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 5: he hits you with his best shot But you don't

216
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 5: start complaining, You don't stay in the ashes. You start

217
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 5: declaring Soon, It's going to turn around soon. I'm gonna

218
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 5: get well soon. I'm gonna meet someone new soon. My

219
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 5: business is going to take off soon. I'm gonna laugh again.

220
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 3: Love again, lead again, run again.

221
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 5: When you live with this soon mentality, all the forces

222
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 5: of darkness cannot keep you down. In Job's situation look permanent,

223
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 5: looked like he had seen his best days. But God

224
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 5: not only turned it around, but Job came out with

225
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 5: twice what he had before. The scripture says he had

226
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 5: twice the cattle, twice the sheep. He got his business back.

227
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 5: God never brings you out the same. He makes the

228
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 5: enemy pay for bringing the trouble. And we hear a

229
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 5: lot about the suffering of Job. All that he went

230
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 5: through seems like that was his whole life. The entire

231
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 5: book of Job is about his struggle. You would think

232
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 5: it went on for forty years, trouble, heartache, pain, But

233
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 5: some commentaries believe the whole struggle was only nine months.

234
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 5: All the sickness, all the trouble didn't last years.

235
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: It was months. What you think is going to take years?

236
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 5: What looks like it's going to be a long time

237
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 5: to resolve, Like with Job, it's going to happen sooner

238
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 5: than you think. That trouble looks permanent, but God is

239
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 5: saying it's not going to last very long. You're about

240
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 5: to see his hand bring healing, restoration, divine connections, promotion.

241
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 5: It's not by your mind, not by your power. But

242
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 5: by the spirit of the Living God. Two thousand and three,

243
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 5: the Houston City Council voted for us to have the

244
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 5: Compact Center. This was a city owned building. We had

245
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 5: worked for two years presenting our case and trying to

246
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 5: convince council members. When we won the vote, we were

247
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,359
Speaker 5: so excited.

248
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: It was like God opened a door that we never

249
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: dreamed would open.

250
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 5: The next day, a company that owns all the high

251
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 5: rises around this property filed a federal lawsuit to.

252
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 3: Try to keep us from moving in.

253
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 5: They were the largest taxpayer in Texas, a huge real

254
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 5: estate company with property all over the state.

255
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: It was like David versus Goliath.

256
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 5: Our attorneys told us that it could be tied up

257
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 5: in the courts for ten years. How these kinds of

258
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 5: legal proceedings can be extremely slow. That meant we couldn't

259
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 5: move in. We couldn't start our renovations. Our future concerning

260
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 5: this building was on hold. The problem was I had

261
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 5: already presented the Compact Center.

262
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: To the church.

263
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 5: People had already given to support it. Everyone was excited

264
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 5: asking when are we moving in. I would wake up

265
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 5: in the middle of the night in a cold sweat

266
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 5: thoughts telling me you're going to look like a fool.

267
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 5: What are you going to do if you don't win

268
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 5: the lawsuit. I was tempted to live, worried, stre but

269
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 5: I did what I'm asking you to do, despite what

270
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 5: the experts were saying, despite how permanent it looked, I said, father,

271
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 5: I want to thank you that this trouble is only temporary,

272
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 5: that it won't last very long. Lord, I know you're

273
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 5: working behind the scenes, fighting our battles, making our crooked

274
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 5: places straight, shining down your favor on us. I would

275
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 5: check with the attorneys every week, looking for some sign

276
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 5: of hope.

277
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 3: Is there anything new?

278
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 5: Nothing we haven't heard from them. They didn't want to negotiate.

279
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 5: They were going to sit back and wait, drag it

280
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 5: out for years until we had to do something else.

281
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 5: I could hear that promise, that still small voice saying, Joel,

282
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 5: trust me, this trouble is only temporary. Soon it will

283
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 5: be over. But my mind would say, are you kidding?

284
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 5: Nothing is improving. You're years away from even finding out if.

285
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: It's going to be yours. The battle is.

286
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 5: Taking place in our thinking. Don't accept the lies that

287
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 5: it's permanent. It's going to take a long long time.

288
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 5: You have to turn it around and say Father, thank you,

289
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 5: that this will resolve sooner than it looks. About eight

290
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 5: months after the lawsuit was filed, we received a call

291
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 5: from the other side saying they wanted to meet.

292
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: I was excited.

293
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 5: I believed it was the hand of God. Our attorneys

294
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 5: were more skeptical. They said it was a ploy. They

295
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 5: were just trying to complicate things.

296
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: We met with them.

297
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 5: Not only did they agree to let us have this building,

298
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 5: but to lease us nine thousand coupboed parking spaces. They

299
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 5: dropped the lawsuit, The facility.

300
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 3: Was ours, free and clear.

301
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 5: What looked like would take years to happen took place.

302
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: In a few months.

303
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 5: God is saying to you what you're up against is

304
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 5: going to resolve much sooner than it looks. That trouble

305
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 5: is not going to lie long. That addiction is not

306
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 5: going to hinder you your whole life. The sickness, depression,

307
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 5: anxiety is not going to stop your destiny. Soon it's

308
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 5: going to be over, not years, but months. Why don't

309
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 5: you get in agreement with God? You may not see

310
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 5: how the giant looks too big, the sickness too great,

311
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 5: the opposition too strong.

312
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 3: You're not in this by yourself. The most High.

313
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 5: God is fighting for you. He knows how to move

314
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 5: people out of the way. He can do what medicine

315
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 5: cannot do. He can restore what's been solen. Sooner than later,

316
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 5: you're going to see the hand of God making things

317
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 5: happen that you couldn't make happen, opening doors that no

318
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 5: person can shut, turning situations around that look impossible. But

319
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 5: it's easy to live with this forever mindset. It's never

320
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 5: going to work out, or maybe years down the road,

321
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,359
Speaker 5: maybe one day, Joel.

322
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 3: I'll get a good break. Switch over to a sou mentality. Now.

323
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 5: I know some things take time, but God promises us

324
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 5: in this verse soon the trouble will be over. He's

325
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 5: about to do something out of a normal time frame,

326
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 5: something unusual, sooner than you think, Well, what if I

327
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 5: believe and this doesn't happen.

328
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 3: What if you believe and it does happen.

329
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 5: It probably won't happen if you've already accepted it's going

330
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 5: to be a long time to get out of this trouble,

331
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 5: a long time to get well, to meet the right

332
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 5: person to accomplish that dream. That's limiting what God will do.

333
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 5: I'm asking you to believe for sooner than later, even

334
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 5: if it doesn't happen as soon as you like. Yes,

335
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 5: we all have to wait. But I've made up my mind.

336
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 5: I'm gonna live with a soon mentality. I'm gonna keep

337
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 5: release in my faith, reminding God what he promised, that

338
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 5: this difficulty will soon be over. There are forty two

339
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 5: chapters in the Book of Job, and two talk about

340
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 5: what he went through. Seems like this struggle with his

341
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 5: whole life, but the last two verses of the Book

342
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 5: of Job are very significant. After describing the trouble, the heartache,

343
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 5: the loss for forty two chapters, the last thing written says,

344
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 5: after this Job lived one hundred and forty years and

345
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 5: saw his children and grandchildren for four generations. Then he

346
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 5: died an old man, having lived a long, good life.

347
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 5: Job's struggle was approximately nine months, but after that struggle

348
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 5: he lived one hundred and forty good years, happy years,

349
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 5: healthy years, years where he enjoyed his children, years where

350
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 5: there was great joy and laughter in his house. God

351
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 5: was showing us the trouble is temporary.

352
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: The trouble is not going to last forever.

353
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 5: You may be in a difficult time, but that's not

354
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 5: how your story ends. That loss is not going to

355
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 5: define you. That sickness is not going to ruin the

356
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 5: rest of your life. That person that walked away, the

357
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 5: bad break, the unfair situation is not going to stop

358
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 5: your purpose. God has an after this for you, after

359
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 5: the trouble. There's going to be great joy in your life,

360
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 5: after the loss, after the sickness, after the legal battle.

361
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 5: You're going to see new friendships, new opportunities, new growth.

362
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 5: Don't be discouraged by the trouble. It's not stopping anything

363
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 5: God has for you. God is storing up all the joy,

364
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 5: all the good breaks, the favor, the resources that have

365
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 5: been put on hold because of this temporary trouble.

366
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 3: You're not losing anything.

367
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 5: What belongs to you is still coming your way. Your

368
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 5: latter days will be better than your former days. Your

369
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 5: story doesn't end in defeat.

370
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: It doesn't end in.

371
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 5: Failure, injustice, sorrow, Those are temporary seasons. Your story ends

372
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 5: in victory. God has already lined up and after this

373
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 5: for you. He said, what was meant for your harm,

374
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 5: He's turning to your advantage. Even now, God is turning

375
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 5: some things. He's turning the trouble, turning the sickness turning

376
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 5: the people that are against you. You're about to step

377
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 5: in to an advantage, step into favor that God has

378
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 5: already lined up for you. When we walked into that meeting,

379
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 5: the CEO of the company had already changed his mind.

380
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 5: God had already turned his heart. He was against us.

381
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 5: But no person can stand against our God. No bad break,

382
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 5: no sickness, no trouble. God controls the universe, he said.

383
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 5: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy is coming

384
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 5: in the morning.

385
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 3: You may be in a night season.

386
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 5: Can I encourage you It's temporary.

387
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 3: Joy is on the way.

388
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 5: God is going to turn your mourning into dancing, your

389
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 5: sorrow into joy. What's holding you back is not going

390
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 5: to last much longer.

391
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: Soon it will be over.

392
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 5: One time I was flying to India with my father.

393
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 5: It was a fifteen hour flight. Everything was going fine,

394
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 5: cruising along very smoothly, but about twelve hours in, the

395
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 5: plane hit this turbulence and started bouncing around like a

396
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 5: roller coaster, up and down. Everything started flying, laptops hitting

397
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 5: the ceiling. Some of the flight attendants had gone up

398
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 5: in the air landed on top of other passengers. People

399
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 5: were screaming, panicking for about ten minutes. It was chaos.

400
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 5: You had to hold on for dear life. Eventually it

401
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 5: all calmed down, thankfully, nobody was injured, went back to

402
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 5: smooth sailing. The last several hours were as peaceful as

403
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 5: can be. This is how it is in life, going

404
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 5: along fine, everyone is healthy, were getting good breaks. Then

405
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 5: we hit some turbulence, an unexpected challenge, a sickness, a layoff,

406
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 5: a friend betrays you.

407
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 3: You didn't see it coming.

408
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 5: It's easy to panic God, what's happening?

409
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 3: Can I encourage you?

410
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 5: It's just a part of your ten minutes of turbulence.

411
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 3: It's not going to last.

412
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 5: It may be chaotic, feel stressful, but.

413
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: It's going to calm down.

414
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 5: There's going to be and after this for you, after

415
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 5: the turbulence, you're going to.

416
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 3: Come out just fine.

417
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 5: I've discovered we're all going to have about ten minutes

418
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 5: of turbulence, not at once, but a minute here, a

419
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 5: minute there. Our mind will tell us it's permanent. I'll

420
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 5: never get through this difficulty. It's bumpier than I've ever felt.

421
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: God is still in control.

422
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 5: He's not only flying your plane, but he controls the weather.

423
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 5: He speaks to storms and they calm down A friend

424
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 5: of mine recently lost his job. He'd been there for

425
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 5: many years and wasn't about his performance. They just didn't

426
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 5: have the funds to pay him. He was tempted to panic,

427
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 5: be upset. I told him what I'm telling you. This

428
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 5: is not how your story ends. The trouble is going

429
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 5: to pass, and the rest of your flight is going

430
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 5: to be smooth. God has it already figured out. There's

431
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 5: another position already lined up, has your name on it.

432
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 5: If you'll stay in faith and keep being your best,

433
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 5: you're going to come in to your after this, You'll say,

434
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 5: after the layoff, I got a better position. After they

435
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 5: walked away, I met someone better. After the sickness, I

436
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 5: came out stronger. What's interesting is that ten minutes of

437
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 5: turbulence felt like ten hours to me. I was sweating,

438
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 5: holding on for dear life, praying the Sinner's prayer forty

439
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 5: two times, God, please forgive me. I'm about to come

440
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 5: see you. I was afraid and stressed out. If I

441
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 5: had known it was temporary, I would have enjoyed the ride.

442
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: Pay a lot of money to go to.

443
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 5: Disneyland to ride a ride like that. If I had

444
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 5: known it wasn't going to last very long.

445
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 3: If I had known everything.

446
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 5: Was going to be all right, I would have stayed

447
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 5: in peace, said Lord.

448
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: Thank you. I know this too shall pass. I know

449
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,479
Speaker 3: this temporary.

450
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 5: Problem is not going to stop your plan.

451
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: For my life.

452
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 5: I could have relaxed and saved myself a lot of

453
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 5: heartache if I had only remembered the trouble was temporary.

454
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 5: Maybe you're in part of your ten minutes of turbulence

455
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 5: now it feels like it's going to be ten years.

456
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 5: You're worried, losing sleep, trying to figure it all out.

457
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 3: Come back to a place of peace.

458
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 5: It's not permanent. Things are going to work out. God

459
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 5: is going to get you to your destiny. You may

460
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 5: not see how the winds are strong, the plane is

461
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 5: bouncing around. God controls the wind ends. That cancer is

462
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 5: not bigger than our God. That breakup didn't stop your purpose.

463
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 5: The trouble at work is not going to last. God

464
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 5: is behind the scenes right now working in your life.

465
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 5: Your time is coming. It's going to happen sooner.

466
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 3: Than you think.

467
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 5: In the Book of Genesis, God told Noah that there

468
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 5: was going to be a great flood. He was to

469
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 5: build an arc, a huge boat. Take two of every

470
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 5: kind of animal on it. While he was building. I'm

471
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 5: sure people made fun of him.

472
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 3: Thought what's this.

473
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 5: Crazy man doing. There's no water around here. At that time,

474
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 5: it had never rained. The dew came up from the

475
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 5: ground and watered the earth. You can imagine how odd

476
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 5: that seemed. But the scripture says Noah did exactly what

477
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 5: God asked him to do.

478
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: He was obedient. The rain came for forty days, the whole.

479
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 5: Earth was flooded. Noah and his family were on the boat.

480
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 5: Months and months went by. Noah didn't know he was

481
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 5: going to be like that the rest of his life.

482
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 5: He sent a bird out to see if the waters

483
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 5: were receding, but the bird came back it could land.

484
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 5: This happened again and again. It looked like this was permanent.

485
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 5: But Chapter eight says God remembered Noah. He sent a

486
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 5: wind to blow across the waters, and the floods begin

487
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 5: to disappear.

488
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: God remembers your faithfulness.

489
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 5: He remembers your obedience the times Like Noah, you did

490
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 5: the right thing when it was hard. You kept giving, serving,

491
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 5: being good to people. Not seeing anything change, nothing was

492
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 5: getting better.

493
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 3: Don't worry.

494
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 5: Your time is coming. God sent a wind and the

495
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 5: waters begin to disappear. A year later, Noah and his

496
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 5: family were able to get off the boat. Now I believe,

497
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 5: like with him, God is about to breathe on your life,

498
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 5: and problems that look permanent are about to disappear. That

499
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 5: sickness you've been dealing with, the child, you're so concerned about,

500
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 5: the trouble at work that's hindering you. By faith, I

501
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 5: can see the wind of God's spirit causing it to disappear.

502
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 5: Addictions disappearing, depression disappearing, lack, not having enough disappearing.

503
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 3: This is a new day.

504
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 5: God is breathing his favor, his blessing, his healing on

505
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 5: your life right now. The next verse says, the underground

506
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 5: water sources cease their gushing. The torrential rains stopped flowing.

507
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 5: There are things that you can't see. They're underground, so

508
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 5: to speak. They're about to cease in your life. God

509
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 5: is going to cut off the source of what's limiting you,

510
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 5: the source of what's holding you back. The sickness is

511
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 5: about to cease, the addiction is about to cease, The

512
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 5: trouble is about to cease. When those waters ceased, it

513
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 5: took a few months before or Noah and his family

514
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 5: could come off the boat. You may not see anything

515
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 5: happening yet, but that doesn't mean things haven changed. It's

516
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 5: just a matter of time before you see what God

517
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 5: was up to. Now, keep the right perspective. The trouble

518
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 5: is temporary. It's not going to last as long as

519
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 5: it looks. Live with this soon mentality not it's way

520
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 5: off in the future. Soon things are going to change

521
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 5: in my favor. If you'll do this, I believe and declare.

522
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 5: Healing is coming, freedom is coming, breakthroughs are coming soon.

523
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 5: You're going to get well soon. You're going to meet

524
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 5: the right person soon. That problem's going to turn around.

525
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 3: Soon. You're going to see God's favor in new ways.

526
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 3: In Jesus' name.

527
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 5: If you receive it, can you say amen? Today I'd

528
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,760

529

Speaker 5: Lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

530
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 5: I repent of my sins.

531
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: Into my heart. I make you my Lord and Savior.

532
