We are praying for you 47 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 4: and your family for God's very very best. I like 48 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 4: to start with something funny, and I heard about these 49 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 4: two brothers, ages four and six. They were spending the 50 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 4: night at their grandmother's house. She told them before they 51 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 4: went to bed to make sure that they said their prayers. 52 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 4: They went in the bedroom, got down on their knees. 53 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 4: The youngest brother started praying at the top of his lungs. God, 54 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 4: I pray for a new bicycle. I pray for a 55 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 4: new PlayStation. I pray for a new puppy. His brother 56 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 4: stopped him and said, why are you screaming? God isn't deaf? 57 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 4: He said, I know that, but grandmother is say it 58 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 4: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 59 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 4: what it says. I am. I have what it says 60 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 4: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 61 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 4: Today I will be taught the word of God. I 62 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 4: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 63 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 64 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 65 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 4: ready to rise. We all face things in life that 66 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 4: try to push us down. It's easy to lose our 67 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 4: passion and think that's the way it's always going to be. 68 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 4: But God didn't create you to be overcome. He created 69 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 4: you as an overcomer. He puts something in your spirit 70 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 4: called bounce back. Bounce back means when you get knocked down, 71 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 4: you don't stay down. There's a force breathing in your direction, 72 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 4: making things happen that you couldn't make happen, giving you 73 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 4: strength that you didn't have. It causes you to rise up. 74 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 4: Because you have bounced back, that difficulty cannot defeat you. 75 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 4: It may hold you back temporarily, but it's just a 76 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 4: matter of time before you you rise back up. And 77 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 4: you may have things coming against you now. Thoughts tell 78 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 4: you you'll never get well. This pandemic has ruined your finances, 79 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 4: You'll always struggle with this addiction. Don't believe those lies. 80 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 4: You may be down, but that is not your final destination. 81 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 4: God is saying, get ready to rise, get ready for favor, 82 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 4: Get ready for breakthroughs, get ready for healing. What was 83 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 4: meant for your harm, God is turning to your advantage. 84 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 4: Micah said, rejoice not over me, my enemies. When I fall, 85 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 4: for I shall arise. He wasn't complaining about the trouble. 86 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 4: He wasn't discouraged over being knocked down. He understood this 87 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 4: principle that there was bounce back in his spirit. In 88 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 4: the middle of the difficulty. He was speaking victory. If 89 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 4: you're going to come out of that challenge, you have 90 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 4: to do like Micah, this problem didn't come to stay, 91 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 4: It came to pass. God being for me is more 92 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 4: than the world being against me. I shall arise. When 93 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 4: you say that, forces of darkness tremble when you declare 94 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 4: I shall arise. Angels go to work no more. It's 95 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 4: never going to change my business, will never make it. 96 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 4: My child's never going to get back on course. Zip 97 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 4: that up. If you talk defeat, you're going to have defeat. 98 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 4: Say with Micah, yes, I've had difficulties. I'm not denying 99 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 4: the problem, not acting like it doesn't exist. All I'm 100 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 4: saying is I'm not staying here. I shall arise. I 101 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 4: will see God's goodness. My latter days will be better 102 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 4: than my former days. God hasn't brought you this far 103 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 4: to leave you. He won't let you get in a 104 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 4: problem that he can't get you out of. That person 105 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 4: that walked out on you, they didn't stop your destiny. 106 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 4: Quldn't giving them that much power, thinking that they ruined 107 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 4: your life. God has somebody better coming, David said, God 108 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 4: lifted me out of the pit and set my feet 109 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 4: on a rock. You may be in a pit, so 110 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 4: to speak, you don't see how you could get out. 111 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 4: The good news is you don't have to get out 112 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 4: by yourself. The Most High God is about to lift 113 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 4: you out. He's about to free you from that addiction. 114 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 4: He's about to turn the medical report around. He's about 115 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 4: to open new doors, bring new opportunities, new relationships. That 116 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 4: pit is not your destiny. Get ready to rise. Paul said, 117 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 4: the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives 118 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 4: on the inside of you. The forces of darkness did 119 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 4: their best to stop Jesus, but they couldn't keep him 120 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 4: from rising. That tells me nothing you face can keep 121 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 4: you from your purpose. No pandemic, no sickness, no addiction. 122 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 4: The enemy may have done his best, but his best 123 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 4: will never be enough. Few years back, we had a 124 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 4: big hurricane here in Houston. I noticed all the different 125 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 4: kind of trees that were blown down, huge oak trees 126 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 4: three or four feet around. I saw pine trees over 127 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 4: one hundred feet tall. Laying in yard after yard. Big trees, 128 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 4: small trees. None of them could withstand the hurricane force winds. 129 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 4: There was only one type of tree that wasn't blown down. 130 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 4: It was the palm tree. It's because God designed the 131 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 4: palm to withstand the storm. Unlike the other trees, the 132 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 4: palm is able to bend, so it doesn't break. A 133 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 4: certain kind of palm can bend all the way over 134 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 4: to where the top is almost touching the ground during 135 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 4: a hurricane. It may stay that way for three or 136 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 4: four hours, all bent over, looks like it's done, But 137 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 4: when the wind dies down the storm is over, it 138 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 4: stands right back up to where it was before. All 139 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 4: these other trees down on what's the difference. God put 140 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 4: bounce back in the palm tree. It may get pushed over, 141 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 4: but it's only temporary. Psalm ninety two says the righteous 142 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 4: will flourish like a palm tree. The reason God chose 143 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 4: a palm tree, not oaks or pines is he knew 144 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 4: we would go through storms. He knew things would try 145 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 4: to push us down and keep us from our destiny. 146 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 4: So he said, I'm going to make you like a palm. 147 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 4: I'm going to put bounce back in your spirit. You 148 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 4: may go through difficulties, a loss, a disappointment, but at 149 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 4: some point the winds will stop, the storm will pass, 150 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 4: and like that palm, you'll come right back up again. 151 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 4: You may be bent over right now, you're facing challenges, 152 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 4: thoughts are telling you it's never going to work out, 153 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 4: nor get ready to rise. You have bounced back in 154 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 4: your spirit. When that storm is over, you're not going 155 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 4: to be laying down, beat up. You're going to rise up, healthy, blessed, prosperous. 156 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 4: You're not going to look like what you've been through. 157 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 4: Nobody is going to be able to tell that you 158 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 4: even had that difficulty. What I love about God is 159 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 4: he doesn't just bring you through the storm. He makes 160 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 4: the enemy pay for bringing the trouble. When the palm 161 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 4: tree has been over during the hurricane, you would think 162 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 4: that was damaging the tree and making it weaker, but 163 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 4: research shows just the opposite. When the tree is being 164 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 4: pushed over and stretched by the strong winds, that's strengthening 165 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 4: the root system, giving it new opportunities for growth. When 166 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 4: the palm tree straightens back up after the storm, it's 167 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 4: actually stronger than it was before. When you come out 168 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 4: of that storm. When you straighten back up, you're not 169 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 4: going to be the same. You're going to be stronger, healthier, 170 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 4: better off, ready for new growth. When you're in difficult times, 171 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 4: to remind yourself, I may bend, but I'm not going 172 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 4: to break. God won't let you face anything that will 173 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 4: be too much for you to handle. Things may be 174 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 4: coming against you, but know this down is not your destiny. 175 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 4: Defeat is not how your story ends. Sickness, trouble, not 176 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 4: having enough is not permanent. I believe even now those 177 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 4: winds are starting to subside. Forces that have hindered you 178 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 4: are being broken. Powers of darkness are being pushed back. 179 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 4: You're about to see breakthroughs, freedom, joy, victory. Micah. Chapter seven, 180 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 4: Micah list all these negative things that have happened. He 181 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 4: talked about how he was overwhelmed with sorrow, had gone 182 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 4: through bad breaks. If he would have stopped there, we 183 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 4: wouldn't be reading about him. He went on to say 184 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 4: in verse seven, But as for me, I'm not giving up. 185 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 4: I'm sticking around to see what God is going to do. 186 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 4: I know he will make things right. He had this 187 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 4: attitude of faith. I've come too far to stop now. 188 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 4: He was expecting God to turn it around. That's why 189 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 4: he said in the next verse, don't rejoice when I fall, 190 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 4: I shall arise. But sometimes we've been in the storm 191 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 4: so long we've forgotten what it's like to be standing 192 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 4: back up. The enemy would love to convince us to 193 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 4: settle for being bent over living in dysfunction, bitter over 194 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 4: who hurt us, thinking we'll never be happy again. We 195 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 4: need to do like Micah. Yes I've had some bad breaks. 196 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 4: Yes life has thrown me some curves, but I'm not 197 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 4: giving up on my dreams. I'm not settling for mediocrity. 198 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 4: I'm sticking around to see what God is going to do. 199 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 4: I know he's going to make things right. Don't get 200 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 4: talked out of your dreams. Don't let the delays, the 201 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 4: unfair childhood, the unexpected storm can convince you that you've 202 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 4: seen your best days. God is up to something, and 203 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 4: what looks like a setback is all a part of 204 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 4: his plan. He may not have sent the difficulty, but 205 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 4: he wouldn't have allowed it if it was going to 206 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 4: keep you from your destiny. If you'll have this attitude 207 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 4: of faith, God will make things right in your life. 208 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 4: He will restore what the enemy tried to steal. He'll 209 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 4: pay you back for the wrongs. He'll open doors that 210 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 4: you couldn't open. He will get you to your destiny. 211 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 4: In Genesis thirty seven, Joseph was a teenager and God 212 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 4: gave him a dream that he would be in leadership. 213 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 4: He would have great influence. He had many older brothers, 214 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 4: but he was the favorite son of their father, Jacob, 215 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 4: because he was born later in life. Jacob treated him differently. 216 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 4: He even had them make Joseph a special robe of 217 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 4: many colors. I'm sure Joseph was proud of that robe 218 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 4: made him stand out, gave him stige. But his brothers 219 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 4: were jealous of Joseph. They didn't like the special treatment. 220 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 4: They didn't like the fact that he had these dreams 221 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 4: and that he thought he was going to do something great. 222 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 4: One day, his father asked him to travel to another 223 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 4: city to check on his brothers. They were out working 224 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 4: in a field when they saw Joseph coming from a 225 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 4: distance wearing that colorful robe. They thought, this is our 226 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 4: big chance to get rid of Joseph. They took the 227 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 4: robe off of him and threw him into a pit. 228 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 4: They were going to put blood on his robe and 229 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 4: tell their father that he had been eaten by a 230 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 4: wild animal. But about that time, a caravan of Ishmaelites 231 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 4: came passing by. The brothers decided to sell Joseph as 232 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 4: a slave instead of leaving him to die in the pit. 233 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 4: It's interesting how God will always have the right people 234 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 4: show up at the right time. That caravan had been 235 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 4: traveling for months. They left long before Joseph went to 236 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 4: check on his brothers. But God has everything figured out. 237 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 4: He knows what you're going to need, when you're going 238 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 4: to need it, who's going to need to be there. 239 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 4: You don't have to worry. God has it all lined out. 240 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 4: He's going to get you to your destiny. People can't 241 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 4: stop you a bad break injustice. God is ordering your steps. 242 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 4: He's not only in control of your life, He's in 243 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 4: control of the circumstances around you. Now Joseph was no 244 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 4: longer the favorite son wearing the colorful robe. He was 245 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 4: a slave in a foreign country, working for a man 246 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 4: named Potiphar. Year after year went by, Joseph kept doing 247 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 4: the right thing, being good to people that weren't good 248 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 4: to him. I can imagine many nights he thought about home, 249 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 4: about that robe he used to have and what that meant. 250 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 4: Tears would fill his eyes, thoughts would whisper, it's not fair. 251 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 4: You'll never accomplish your dreams. You'll never see your father again, 252 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 4: you'll never have that robe of many colors. But deep 253 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 4: down I can hear Joseph praying, Father, thank you that 254 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 4: what you started in my life you will finish. I 255 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 4: don't see a way, but I know you have a way. 256 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 4: I may be down, but I believe I will rise again, 257 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 4: that what you promised me will come to pass. Thirteen 258 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 4: years after Joseph was thrown into that pit, the Pharaoh 259 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 4: had a dream. He didn't know what it meant. Joseph 260 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 4: was in prison. Someone remembered that he could interpret dreams. 261 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 4: They called him in. He told the pharaoh what the 262 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 4: dream meant, how it had to do with the food supplied, 263 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 4: how they needed to store up grain and get everything 264 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 4: prepared for a famine. The pharaoh was so impressed with 265 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 4: Joseph his advisors were discussing who should be appointed for 266 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 4: this new position. Pharaoh told them no one could do 267 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 4: it better than Joseph. He put Joseph in charge of 268 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 4: the whole nation. He said in verse forty four, no 269 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 4: one will move hand or foot in all of Egypt 270 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 4: without your approval. He had his staff bring a royal 271 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 4: robe and put it on Joseph. He took off his 272 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 4: prison clothes, took off his slave clothes, and he put 273 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 4: on this robe of honor, robe of influence, robe of authority. 274 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 4: Imagine now Joseph thinking back about the robe that his 275 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 4: brothers took away from him, the robe that represented favor. 276 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 4: He was disappointed at the time, he wanted it back, 277 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 4: it didn't seem fair. But now he realized, without losing 278 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 4: the robe of many colors, he would have never had 279 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 4: the robe of authority, that robe that said I'm in 280 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 4: charge of a nation. If you knew what God has 281 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 4: in store for you, you wouldn't be discouraged over the 282 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 4: robe of many colors that you lost, that job that 283 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 4: didn't work out, the person that walked away, the loan 284 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 4: that didn't go through. If you could see the robe 285 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 4: of authority that's coming, the robe of influence, the robe 286 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 4: of abundance, the robe of unprecedented favor, you wouldn't be 287 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 4: bitter over who hurts you, upset over the time in 288 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 4: the pit, frustrated by what you lost. What God has 289 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 4: in your future is so amazing. You will never complain 290 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 4: about your past. You may be down now, but like Joseph, 291 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 4: get ready to rise. Fever is coming like you've never seen. 292 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 4: God is about to do something unusual, something uncommon, something 293 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 4: that catapults you to a new level. Your story doesn't 294 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 4: end with a robe of many colors that you lost, 295 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 4: doesn't end with a dream that didn't work out, a 296 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 4: relationship that didn't make it, a business that went down. 297 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 4: The Robe of many Colors was simply foreshadowing what God 298 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 4: is about to do. It was supposed to be temporary. 299 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 4: Was it supposed to last? If the door closed, accept 300 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 4: it and move on. Don't spend your life wishing you 301 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 4: you had the Robe of many colors back when God 302 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 4: has something so much better in your future. Don't go 303 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 4: around bitter because someone threw you into a pit, Someone 304 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 4: betrayed you, you were cheated in a business deal. God 305 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 4: saw it. He wouldn't have let them take the colorful robe. 306 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 4: He wouldn't have let that bad break happen if it 307 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 4: was going to keep you from your destiny. But how 308 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 4: many of us are longing for the robe of many colors, 309 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 4: wishing we could go back where we knew we were 310 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 4: favored before the setback, before the health issue, before the pandemic. 311 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 4: Here's the key. Not having the robe of many colors 312 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 4: doesn't mean that you don't have favor. It means greater 313 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 4: favor is coming. You had to lose that robe to 314 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 4: step into the awesome future that God has in store. 315 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 4: You haven't seen, heard, or imagine where God is taking you. 316 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 4: You may feel like you're in a pit. That's okay. 317 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 4: The pit is leading you to the palace. You had 318 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 4: a set back, that's okay. It's setting you up for 319 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 4: greater influence, greater authority, greater honor. Don't sit around sour 320 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 4: wishing for the robe of many colors. Get ready for 321 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 4: the greater things that God is about to do. Joseph 322 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 4: was in charge of the food supply. There was a 323 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 4: great famine in the land, and the only place that 324 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 4: had food was Egypt. One day, Joseph's brothers, the same 325 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 4: ones that threw him into the pit, traveled to the 326 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 4: palace looking for food. Joseph came out, but they didn't 327 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 4: recognize him. The last time they saw Joseph, he was 328 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 4: in the pit, defeated. No future, but God has the 329 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 4: final say. They knew him in the pit, but now 330 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 4: he was so successful, he had so much influence prestige, 331 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 4: they didn't recognize him. That's the way God vindicates. When 332 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 4: he raises you up, you'll be so blessed, so favored, 333 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 4: that your enemies don't recognize you. Thirteen years earlier, Joseph 334 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 4: was down and his brothers were up. Joseph was in 335 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 4: the pit, they were on top. Now Joseph was on 336 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 4: top and his brothers were down. Joseph was in charge 337 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 4: and his brothers were in need. When you let God 338 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 4: fight your battles, there will be a day like when Joseph. 339 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 4: When the tables are turned, you will be up, and 340 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 4: those that tried to stop you will be down. God 341 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 4: knows how to make things right. You may be in 342 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 4: a tough time. Stick in there and see what God 343 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 4: is up to. Keep believing, keep praying, keep dreaming. Your 344 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 4: time is coming. The pit is only temporary. The depression, 345 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 4: the sickness, the lack is not how your story ends. 346 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 4: God is working behind the scenes. You are closer than 347 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 4: you think. It's going to happen, sooner than it looks. 348 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 4: God is going to surprise you. Joseph woke up one 349 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 4: morning in prins. Seemed like another ordinary day, but a 350 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 4: few hours later he was the Prime Minister of Egypt. 351 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 4: He didn't see it coming. There wasn't any sign of it. 352 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 4: That's how God works. Many times you don't see anything happening, 353 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 4: and suddenly things fall into place, Suddenly your health turns around, 354 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 4: Suddenly you meet the right person. The Psalmist said, let 355 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 4: God arise and his enemies be scattered. Let means you 356 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 4: have to allow it. You can let it or you 357 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 4: cannot let it. We can't stop God from arising. This 358 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 4: is talking about in our thoughts. When you let God arise, 359 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 4: you make him bigger than your problems, bigger than the sickness, 360 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 4: bigger than the financial trouble. You focus on his greatness, 361 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 4: You think about his power, You talk about how he's 362 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 4: brought you through in the past. You go around bragging 363 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 4: on what He has done, declaring, no weapon formed against 364 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 4: me is going to prosper. What was meant from my harm, 365 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 4: God is turning to my advantage. The bigger you make God, 366 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 4: the smaller your problems will become, and the more faith 367 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 4: will rise in your heart. But the enemy is always 368 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 4: trying to get us to let the problem arise. Maybe 369 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 4: your child is off course. It's easy to talk about 370 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 4: how he's not making good decisions. He's never going to 371 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,479 Speaker 4: reach his destiny. And I don't understand what I did wrong. 372 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 4: You're letting the wrong thing arise. Turn it around, start 373 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 4: letting God arise. Father, Thank you that as for me 374 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 4: and my house, we will serve the Lord. Thank you 375 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 4: that my children will be mighty in the land. Thank 376 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 4: you that my seed, the seed of the righteous, is blessed. 377 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 4: That's letting God arise. That's what causes things to change. 378 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 4: When you speak defeat, you bring defeat on the Sein. 379 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 4: When you speak victory, you bring God on the Sein. 380 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 4: He created the universe, he flung stars into space. There's 381 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 4: nothing that he can't do. Maybe you're struggling in your finances. 382 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 4: Business is slow, you can't go to work. You can 383 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 4: either let that defeat arise. You'll feel discouraged worried, or 384 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 4: you can let God arise. Father, Thank you that I 385 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 4: will lend and not borrow. Thank you that the economy 386 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 4: is not my source, but you are my source. You 387 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,719 Speaker 4: said you'd prosper me even in a desert. When you 388 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 4: let God arise. The scripture says your enemies will be scattered. Depression, lack, 389 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 4: trouble cannot stand against our God when you let him arise. 390 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 4: Chains that have held you back are broken. Problems that 391 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 4: look permanent will turn around when God arises. Favor comes, 392 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 4: new doors open things that you couldn't make happen. Now, 393 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 4: the question is are you letting the problem arise or 394 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 4: you're letting God arise? All through the day. It's so 395 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 4: important to keep a song of praise in your heart 396 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 4: instead of worrying, thinking about all the things that are wrong, 397 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 4: what might not work out in your thoughts. Lord, thank 398 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 4: you that there's nothing you can't do. There's no mountain 399 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 4: that you can't move. You're a waymaker, a miracle worker, 400 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 4: a promise keeper. Take the same time that you would 401 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 4: normally worry and turn it into worship. That's not just 402 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 4: being positive, that's letting God arise. That's what allows the 403 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 4: most powerful force in the universe to go to work 404 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 4: on your behalf. Well, Joel, this all sounds good, but 405 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 4: I don't think I'm gonna rise back up. I've made 406 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 4: a lot of mistakes. Nobody did me wrong. Like Joseph, 407 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 4: I brought the trouble on myself. Jesus told a story 408 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 4: about a young man like this in Luke, chapter fifteen. 409 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 4: He asked his father for his inheritance early. He left 410 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 4: home and went out and spent all the money partying, 411 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 4: living wild, making poor decisions. When he ran out of funds, 412 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 4: he got a job working at a hog pen feeding hogs. 413 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 4: He was so desperate, so hungry, that he had to 414 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 4: eat the hog food to survive. One day, he was 415 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 4: sitting around depressed, mad at himself, feeling condemned. He began 416 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 4: to think about home. How even the servants at his 417 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 4: father's house had a hot meal every day. They had 418 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 4: plenty of food. Here he was out there starving. Verse 419 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 4: seventeen says he said to himself, I will arise and 420 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 4: go to my father's house. He made a decision that 421 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 4: he wasn't going to stay in that defeat. He wasn't 422 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 4: going to sit around depressed, guilty, beating himself up. But 423 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 4: he was going to go back home. He didn't know 424 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 4: how his father would respond. He didn't know if he'd 425 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 4: tell him to stay off the property. But when the 426 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 4: father saw him a long way off, he took off, 427 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 4: running toward his son. He hugged him and kissed him. 428 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 4: Now the son was wearing these dirty clothes, smelly, he'd 429 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 4: been in the hog pen. The first thing the father 430 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 4: said was go get the best robe and put it 431 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 4: on my son. Not any robe, not one that's been used, 432 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 4: not a hand me down. Go get the finest robe. 433 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 4: It's interesting, like God gave Joseph a royal robe of influence, 434 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 4: a robe of authority, God gave this young man a 435 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 4: robe of honor, a robe of favor. Both of them 436 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 4: rose out of what was holding them back. The difference 437 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 4: between the two is God caused Joseph to rise up. 438 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 4: He didn't have to do anything to make it happen. 439 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 4: He just kept honoring God, being his best, and Pharaoh 440 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 4: called him in. But with the prodigal son, he had 441 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 4: to make a decision that he wasn't going to sit 442 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 4: around discouraged, defeated, thinking about all the mistakes he had made. 443 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 4: If he had not said I will arise, he would 444 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 4: have never seen this coat of favor. Wondering, are you 445 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 4: waiting for God to do something for you when he's 446 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 4: waiting for you to say I will arise. I'm not 447 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 4: going to go through life beating myself up, living condemned, yes, 448 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 4: I've made mistakes, but I know I'm forgiven. I know 449 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 4: I've been redeemed. If you'll a rise, there's a robe 450 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 4: of favor waiting for you, a robe of honor. Those 451 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,719 Speaker 4: mistakes didn't cancel your destiny. Quit listening to the accuser, 452 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 4: reminding yourself of everything you've done wrong. God has already 453 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 4: forgiven you. Now forgive yourself and move on. It's time 454 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 4: to arise and go to your father's house. Proverb says 455 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 4: a good person falls seven times, but they rise again. 456 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 4: Get your fire back, get your passion back. Nothing you've 457 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 4: done is too much for the mercy of God. He 458 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 4: knew every mistake we would ever make. He's already taken 459 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 4: them into account. He has a plan even for the 460 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 4: times where we've missed it. Now arise and go get 461 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 4: that robe that belongs to you. You can still become 462 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 4: who you were created to be. When the winds blow 463 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 4: in your life, the storms come, remember this phrase. There's 464 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 4: bounce back in your spirit. You may bend, but you're 465 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 4: not going to break. Like the palm tree, You're going 466 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 4: to come right back up. All through the day, let 467 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 4: God arise in your thoughts. Keep thanking him for his promises, 468 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 4: making him bigger than what you're facing. If you'll do this, 469 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 4: I believe and declare, like with Joseph, You're going to 470 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 4: see promotion, vindication, breakthroughs. God is going to make things 471 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 4: happen that you didn't see coming. You may have lost 472 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 4: the robe of many colors, but get ready for the 473 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 4: robe of authority, the robe of influence, the robe of fever. 474 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 4: In Jesus's name, Well, I'd like to give you an 475 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 4: opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would 476 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 4: you pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent 477 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 4: of my sins. Come into my heart. I make you 478 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 4: my Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, 479 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 4: we believe you got born again. We'd love to send 480 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 4: you some information to help you get started on your 481 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 4: walk of faith.
