He was standing in 35 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 4: the church lobby staring at a large plaque on the wall. 36 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 4: It was filled with names with small American flags by 37 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 4: their side. 38 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 3: He asked the pastor what it meant. 39 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 4: The pastor explained how that was a memorial to all 40 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 4: the young men and women that died in the service. 41 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 3: The little boy stood there silently, very concerned. 42 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 4: He finally looked up and asked, was it the eight 43 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 4: thirty or eleven o'clock service? Say it like you mean it. 44 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 45 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 46 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 47 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 48 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 49 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 50 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 4: to talk to you today about the fight for your future. 51 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 4: We all have things that come against us in life. 52 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 3: People that aren't fair. 53 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 4: A sickness that won't seem to go away, or a 54 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 4: setback in our finances. Sometimes it was no fault of 55 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 4: our own. We were born into difficulties. Parents that weren't around, 56 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 4: depression and addictions that keep getting passed down. We wonder 57 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 4: why am I having this physician, Why was I raised 58 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 4: in an unhealthy childhood? Why did this company let me 59 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 4: go after all these years. It's because there's something in 60 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 4: you that the enemy's trying to stop. Those bad breaks 61 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 4: were not random. You weren't just unlucky. Those were strategic attacks. 62 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 4: If the enemy wasn't threatened by you, he wouldn't be 63 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 4: trying to hold you back. If he couldn't see greatness 64 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 4: in you, he wouldn't waste his time bringing those challenges. 65 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 4: When you gave your life to Christ, God marked you, 66 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 4: he said you're mine. He put that crown of favor 67 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 4: on your head. That's great, But the challenge is you 68 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 4: became a target to the enemy. 69 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 3: He knows you're destined to take new ground. 70 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 4: He knows God has favored you to leave your mark, 71 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 4: so he's going to work overtime to try to stop you. 72 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 4: Many times, the enemy knows who we are even before 73 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 4: we realize who we are. When David was a teenager 74 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 4: working out in the shepherd's fields, he seemed as ordinary 75 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 4: as can be. He didn't have a significant position taking 76 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 4: care of his father's sheep. He didn't come from wealth 77 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 4: and influence. They were a low income family. Nothing about 78 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 4: David that stood out. Why did his father leave him 79 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 4: in the shepherd's fields When Samuel came to anoint one 80 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 4: of the sons as the next king, was no big 81 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 4: deal to bring him in. Why did he disrespect David 82 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,559 Speaker 4: and look down on him like that when David took 83 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 4: lunch to his brothers when they were in the army. 84 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 4: Why did his oldest brother be little David and make. 85 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: Fun of him? Why was he jealous? 86 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 4: David wasn't intimidating, didn't seem like he was any threat 87 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 4: to them. But the enemy can see things in you 88 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 4: that you may not see in yourself. David saw himself 89 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 4: as ordinary, But even the enemy knew. 90 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 3: He was a giant killer. He knew he was a 91 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 3: history maker. 92 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 4: That's why he came against David so strongly. Many of 93 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 4: the difficulties you faced, things that didn't make sense, opposition 94 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 4: that came out of nowhere, people that turned on you. 95 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 4: It's because there's a giant killer in you. 96 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 3: There's a history maker. 97 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 4: You may not be able to see it yet, but 98 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 4: even the enemy can see. 99 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 3: There's greatness in you. Have a new perspective. 100 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 4: Those difficulties are a sign something. 101 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: Amazing is in your future. Mark Chapter five. 102 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 4: There was a man that was possessed with evil spirits. 103 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 4: It had gotten so bad no one could control him. 104 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,559 Speaker 4: They sent him to the other side of the Sea 105 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 4: of Galilee, to a place called the Gatines, where he 106 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 4: could live among the tombs in graveyard, a deserted place. 107 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 3: They tried to chain him up, but he was so 108 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: strong he would break the chains. All through the night 109 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 3: and day. 110 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 4: He would wander through the tombs, wearing no clothes, cutting 111 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 4: himself and screaming. 112 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 3: This man didn't look like he had much of a chance. 113 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 4: Deranged in his mind, society had written him off. I 114 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 4: can imagine some nights there were moments of sanity where 115 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 4: he would look up and say, God, please help me. 116 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: Why am I so tormented? God? I want to go 117 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 3: back home. It looked like this was his destiny. 118 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 4: People had given up on him, but God never gives 119 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 4: up on us. 120 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: Nobody is too far gone. 121 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 4: Don't write your child off, don't write your neighbor off, 122 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 4: your cousin off. May seem like they're too bad, too addicted, 123 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 4: too depressed, too far off. Course, the enemy wouldn't be 124 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 4: fighting them that hard if there wasn't something amazing on 125 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 4: the inside of them. Jesus was in Galilee teaching people 126 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 4: on the shore. When he finished that day, instead of 127 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 4: going to rest where he normally did, he told the 128 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 4: disciples he wanted to cross to the other side of 129 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 4: the lake where the man was. In the middle of 130 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 4: the night, while they were on the boat, a huge 131 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 4: storm arose. The waves started crashing over the boat, filling 132 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 4: it with water. Looked like it was going to sink. 133 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 4: Jesus was asleep in the back. The disciples frantically ran, Jesus, 134 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 4: wake up, We're about to die. Jesus stood up and 135 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 4: spoke to the storm peace be still. Suddenly the winds 136 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 4: and waves stopped. Everything was perfectly calm. The next morning, 137 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 4: when they arrived on the shore, Jesus was getting out 138 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 4: of the boat when this deranged man came running up 139 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 4: to him, fell on his knees and started screaming. Jesus 140 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 4: spoke to the demons and told them to come out. 141 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 3: Instantly the man was healed. 142 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 4: This cripture says they saw the man sitting fully clothed, in. 143 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 3: His right mind. 144 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 4: What's interesting is when Jesus was on the boat headed 145 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 4: toward the man, the huge storm that arose wasn't random, 146 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 4: wasn't just to act and nature just a coincidence. That 147 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 4: was the enemy trying to stop Jesus from getting to 148 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 4: the man. You would think the enemy would be satisfied. 149 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 4: I mean, the man was possessed out of his mind, 150 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 4: cutting himself. Surely he's no threat, He'll never do anything great. No, 151 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 4: the enemy knew, despite all he had done, despite the cutting, 152 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 4: the torment, the confusion, that this man still had greatness 153 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 4: in him, that he still had a destiny to fulfills, 154 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 4: to accomplish. When he saw Jesus crossing the lake, he thought, 155 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 4: I've got to stop him. I've got to keep him 156 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 4: from getting here. There is a fight for your future. 157 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 4: But what I want you to see is it's not 158 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 4: your battle. God is fighting for you. The enemy may 159 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 4: send the storms, opposition that looks too big, don't worry. 160 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 3: God controls the winds. 161 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 4: He overrides every negative force, the winds that are trying 162 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 4: to stop you from your destiny. God is speaking to 163 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 4: them right now. Breakthroughs are coming, Healing is coming, Freedom 164 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 4: is coming. Things that look like they could never turn around. 165 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 4: The storm seems darker than ever. On your own, you 166 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 4: don't have a chance, You're not on your own. 167 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 3: Get ready. Favor is coming, Victory is coming. 168 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 4: Like this man, you're gonna see God override what's trying 169 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 4: to stop you. No storm too strong for our God 170 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 4: to calm. 171 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 3: No giant too big for him to defeat. 172 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 4: No fire too hot that he can't step in and 173 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 4: bring you out. This man that was deranged, he didn't 174 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 4: know that Jesus had spoken. 175 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 3: To the winds. 176 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 4: He didn't know there was a huge storm that Jesus 177 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 4: had gone to great lengths to get to him. 178 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 3: He just saw him show up on the shore. 179 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 4: You don't know how many storms the enemy has sent 180 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 4: to try to keep God from getting to you. 181 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 3: How many times. 182 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 4: God has said, peace be still. That's my son, that's 183 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 4: my daughter. I'm gonna break those chains. They're going to 184 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 4: fulfill their destiny. God has been fighting for you your 185 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 4: whole life, pushing back forces of darkness, crossing lakes, calming storms. 186 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 3: Just to get to you. 187 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 4: Some of these battles took place when you were a 188 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 4: small The enemy knew way back then what you were 189 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 4: called to be. He could see the favor and anointing 190 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 4: on your life. He could see you were destined for greatness. 191 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 4: So he has worked over time trying to stop your 192 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 4: destiny through things you had no control over. My father, 193 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 4: as a two year old little boy, was walking by 194 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 4: a fire and he fell into it. Nobody was around. 195 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 4: He could have been killed out of nowhere. Someone came 196 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 4: and pulled him out. He couldn't save himself. That was 197 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 4: God fighting for him. The enemy sent the storm, but 198 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 4: God said, peace be still. I have the final say. 199 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 4: The enemy can't stop your life. He can't stop your destiny. 200 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 4: David said in Psalm thirty, Lord, I praise you for you. 201 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 4: Refuse to let my enemies triumph over me. Why did 202 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 4: that fire not take my father out? 203 00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 3: God? 204 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 4: Refuse to let them triumph? Why did that accident not 205 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 4: harm you? God refuse to let it harm you? Why 206 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 4: did you beat the cancer? Why did that unhealthy childhood 207 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 4: not stop you? Why hasn't that addiction finished you off? 208 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 4: Because God's purpose is more powerful than the enemy's plan. 209 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: The forces of darkness cannot stop what God has ordained 210 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 4: for you. If you only knew all the things God 211 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 4: has refused to let. 212 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 3: Happen to you. 213 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 4: You may have had some bad breaks, disappointments, but just 214 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 4: the fact that you're still here is a sign God's 215 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 4: favor is on your life. There may be obstacles trying 216 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 4: to stop you. Now you don't understand it. It's because 217 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 4: there's greatness in you. The enemy doesn't come against people 218 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 4: that don't have anything. If you weren't a threat, he'd 219 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 4: leave you alone. In one sense, you can take it 220 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 4: as a compliment. Yes, I have big obstacles, but I 221 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 4: know it's because. 222 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 3: I have a big destiny. 223 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 4: Had some bad breaks, disappointments, but they could not finish me. 224 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 3: All I'm still standing. 225 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 4: The enemy wouldn't have wasted so much time and energy 226 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 4: on you if there wasn't something. 227 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 3: Amazing in your future. 228 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 4: Now do your part, stay in faith, don't go around 229 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 4: complaining about what didn't work out, what you didn't get. 230 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 4: God is still working. He's a god of justice. He 231 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 4: will make up for what was unfair. He will pay 232 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 4: you back for the wrongs that were done. 233 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: Way back as a small child. 234 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 4: The enemy knew my father would be the first one 235 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 4: in our family to give his life to Christ. 236 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 3: He knew he would be the one to break. 237 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 4: The cycle of poverty that had limited us for generations. 238 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 4: He knew Daddy would start Lakewood, that he would leave 239 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 4: children and grandchildren to continue on. No wonder he tried 240 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 4: to stop him in the fire. No wonder his family 241 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 4: told him. All he knew how to do was Pitt 242 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 4: Cotton that he could never become a minister. No wonder 243 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 4: one church ask him to resign because his message of 244 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 4: faith and victory didn't fit in. When you have a 245 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 4: big future, the enemy is not going to just roll 246 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 4: out the red carpet and let you fulfill it, Paul 247 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 4: said First Corinthians. A wide door of opportunity is open 248 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 4: to me, and there are many adversaries. The many adversaries 249 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 4: doesn't mean God has forgotten about you, doesn't mean you've 250 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 4: been left out. It's because of the wide doors that 251 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 4: are about to open. It's because of the favor that's 252 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 4: in your future. You can look back over your life 253 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 4: and see things that came against you, Some that you 254 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 4: had nothing to do with, things that weren't fair. You 255 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 4: were left out, mischaracterized, made to lo bad. Other times 256 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 4: you tried to step up to a new level, You 257 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 4: tried to set a new standard, but opposition came out 258 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 4: of the woodwork, things that you've never faced. 259 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 3: There are forces that. 260 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 4: Don't want you to take new ground. When the enemy 261 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 4: sees you start to make progress, he'll send the storm, 262 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 4: the winds, the waves. That's when God will step up 263 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 4: and say, peace be stilled. The storms cannot stop our God. 264 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 4: What you're up against is not a sign that you're stuck. 265 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 3: It's a sign promotion is coming. 266 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 4: The storm is a sign God is close to the shore. 267 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 3: You're about to see things change in your favor. 268 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 4: When Moses was born, the Pharaoh had put out a 269 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 4: decree that all the Hebrew male babies were to be 270 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 4: killed at birth. Fabor was concerned that the Israelites would 271 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 4: get bigger than the Egyptians and overtake them. Not only that, 272 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 4: it was prophesied that Moses would deliver the Israelites out 273 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 4: of slavery. It wasn't a coincidence that Moses was born 274 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 4: into adversity, born with. 275 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 3: Forces against him. 276 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 4: Nothing he had done wasn't his poor choices, But from 277 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 4: his birth the enemy was trying to stop him. 278 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 3: His mother hid him in. 279 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 4: The house for three months. Eventually he got too big. 280 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 4: She thought he would be found and killed, so she 281 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 4: put him in a small basket and sent him floating 282 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 4: down the Nile River. It just so happened Fro's daughter 283 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 4: was out taken a bath when she heard the cries 284 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 4: coming from the basket. She opened it and couldn't believe it. 285 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 4: She fell in love with this little baby. What's interesting 286 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 4: is she knew he was a Hebrew baby. 287 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: She knew he wasn't supposed to live. 288 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 4: Her father was the one that made the decree, But 289 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 4: for some reason, she and her father, the Pharaoh, decided 290 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 4: it was okay for her to keep the baby and 291 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 4: raise it as her own. When God is fighting your battles, 292 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 4: things will happen that don't make sense. When he says 293 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 4: peace be still, storms that look impossible will suddenly calm down. 294 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 4: Maybe you were raised in an environment that wasn't real healthy. 295 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 4: You have plenty of reasons to be sour and think 296 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 4: that you could never do anything great. 297 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 3: You've been through too much. How do you know you're 298 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 3: not a Moses? 299 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 4: How do you know that adversity is not a sign 300 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 4: that greatness is in you? That the enemy tried to 301 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 4: push you down to keep you from leaving your mark, 302 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 4: but God stepped up and said peace be still. He 303 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 4: didn't bring you through because you're ordinary. Now you need 304 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 4: to step into your greatness. Quit believing those lies. That 305 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 4: you've had too many bad breaks, too much against you. 306 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 4: It's too unfair. It doesn't have to be fair for 307 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 4: God to do something awesome in your life. In fact, 308 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 4: when it's not fair, when you're the underdog, when the 309 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 4: enemy's trying to stop you, that's when God steps up 310 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 4: and shows out the most. Wasn't fair that David's own 311 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 4: family belittled him, but that didn't stop him from taking 312 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 4: the throne. Wasn't fair that Joseph was thrown into a pit, 313 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 4: lied about, put in prison, but that didn't stop him 314 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 4: from becoming the prime minister. Wasn't fair that Moses was 315 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 4: born under a death threat parents had to hide him, 316 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 4: but that didn't stop him from delivering the Israelites. Who 317 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 4: says it has to be fair for you to fulfill 318 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 4: your destiny. No bad break has canceled God's plan for 319 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 4: your life. No injustice, no disappointment, no person. 320 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 3: The reason it's not fair is because there's. 321 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 4: Something in you that the enemy doesn't want out. There's 322 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 4: an assignment God has for you that the enemy is 323 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 4: trying to stop, an anointing and empowerment, a fever that 324 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 4: he doesn't want you to see. 325 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 3: The good news. He doesn't have the final say. 326 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 4: Now get ready to step in to your greatness. My 327 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 4: sister Lisa was born with something like cerebral pausing. The 328 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 4: doctors told my parents she may never be able to 329 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 4: walk or feed herself. First year, she couldn't lift her head, 330 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 4: had no sucking reflexes, but by the grace of God, 331 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 4: over time she defied the odds kept getting better and better. 332 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 4: Growing up, there were five of us kids in the house, 333 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 4: and all of us except Lisa, we're very athletic, played sports, 334 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 4: stayed active, but Lisa, having come through that birth injury, 335 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 4: couldn't do everything we could, and when we were choosing 336 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 4: teams to play kickball with our friend in the neighborhood. 337 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 4: Lisa would always be chosen toward the very end. 338 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 3: Right before my brother Paul. 339 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 4: But it seemed like it was one bad break after 340 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 4: another for Lisa. In her early twenties, she went through 341 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 4: a breakup in a relation she had, very hurtful, very unfair. 342 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,239 Speaker 4: Not long after that, she was working with us here 343 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 4: at the church opening my father's mouth. One day she 344 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 4: opened this package and it exploded in her lap. It 345 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 4: was a mill bomb. Blew up part of her leg, 346 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 4: injured her stomach. She was rushed to the hospital, had 347 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 4: to have surgery. The investigators told us if the package 348 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 4: would have been turned long ways in her lap instead 349 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 4: of sideways, she would have been instantly killed. 350 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 3: It was a pipe bomb. 351 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 4: When it exploded, the nails blew out sideways away from 352 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 4: her instead of into her. 353 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 3: Why did Lisa. 354 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 4: Have all these things coming against her since she was 355 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 4: a baby. The enemy knew there was something special in 356 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 4: her and anointing to teach, a gifting, to lead, a favor, 357 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 4: to help build people. Every time the enemy sent a storm, 358 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 4: God stepped up and said peace be still. When the 359 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 4: bomb exploded, God said, bomb, you can't finish her off. 360 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 3: I have the final say. 361 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 4: God refused to let her enemies triumph over her. 362 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 3: Lisa says, I opened the. 363 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 4: Bomb, and now I am the bomb. What's come against 364 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 4: you has not been random. Those were strategic attacks for 365 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 4: one reason, because of what's in you purpose, destiny, greatness. 366 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 4: If you will keep moving forward, not get bitter over 367 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 4: what hasn't worked out, at some point, you're going to 368 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 4: step in to what the enemy didn't want you to say, 369 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 4: see new levels of favor, opportunity like you've never dreamed. 370 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 4: God has taken you where you couldn't go on your own. 371 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 4: A friend of mine grew up in a large family 372 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 4: in Puerto Rico, had seventeen brothers and sisters. His parents 373 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 4: were heavily involved in witchcraft. When he was three years old, 374 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 4: his mother was in a trance. She declared over him 375 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 4: that he was the son of Satan. He was too 376 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 4: young to know any better, but imagine having people speaking 377 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 4: things like that over your life. 378 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 3: Didn't seem fair. 379 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 4: Looked like he was at a disadvantage. But people don't 380 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 4: have the final say. What you can't see is behind 381 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 4: the scenes, the most high God is fighting for you. 382 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 4: He over rules every negative thing that people have spoken. 383 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 4: Fifteen years old, this young man moved to New York 384 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 4: City with one of his brothers. Six months later, he 385 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,239 Speaker 4: was the leader of one of the most violent and 386 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 4: feared street games. Fighting and stealing were a part of. 387 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 3: His everyday life. 388 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 4: A year later, his best friend was stabbed and died 389 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 4: in his arms, like the deranged man that was cutting himself. 390 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 3: Didn't seem like this young. 391 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 4: Man had any future. He would never amount to much. 392 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 4: He was too far off course. But what he couldn't 393 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 4: see was God was crossing the lake to get to him. 394 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 4: God was on the way to turn things around. When 395 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 4: forces come against you that strongly, you can be assured 396 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 4: there's a great purpose for your life. There's great potential 397 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 4: on the inside. One night, a minister came up to 398 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 4: him on the street and invited him to a service 399 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 4: that he was having. 400 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 3: This young man made. 401 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 4: Fun of him and threatened to beat him up. But 402 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 4: when you plan a seed, you never know when it's 403 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 4: going to take root. The next night, the young man 404 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 4: and his whole game show up at the service. They 405 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 4: were planning to disrupt things and cause trouble, But when 406 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 4: he began to hear about the love and forgiveness of 407 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 4: our God, he felt something on the inside that he 408 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 4: had never felt. At the end of the service, against 409 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 4: all odds, he stood up. 410 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 3: And gave his life to Christ. 411 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 4: Instantly, changs were broken off of his mind. He felt 412 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 4: a new sense of purpose, a new sense of destiny. 413 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 4: He knew he was no longer the son of Satan. 414 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 4: He was the son of the Mosah God. When you 415 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 4: can't fight for yourself, you have to know God is 416 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 4: fighting for you. He is bigger than any force that's 417 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 4: trying to hold you back. He's bigger than negative words 418 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 4: that were spoken over you. He's bigger than the addiction, 419 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 4: bigger than how you were raised, bigger than that sickness. 420 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 4: You wouldn't have that difficulty if there wasn't greatness in 421 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 4: you today. Our friend Nicki Cruz is an amazing minister. 422 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 4: He goes around the world telling what God has done. 423 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is Nicki couldn't change that on 424 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 4: his own. Being born in that environment seemed unfair. The 425 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 4: man that was deranged cutting himself, he couldn't get free 426 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 4: by himself. Even people couldn't help him. That's why they 427 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 4: sent him away. The good news is you have someone 428 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 4: fighting for you behind the scenes. God's pushing back forces 429 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 4: of darkness, making things happen. 430 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 3: That you couldn't make happen. 431 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 4: The scripture says, stand still and you will see the 432 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 4: deliverance of the Lord. 433 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 3: You keep doing the right thing, and. 434 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 4: God will take care of what's stopping you. He'll turn 435 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 4: the opposition around, He'll move the wrong people out of 436 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 4: the way. He'll give you the breaks you need to. 437 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 3: Get you to where you're supposed to be. 438 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 4: When I first started ministering back in nineteen ninety nine, 439 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 4: it seemed like every one was for me. People were 440 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 4: so encouraging, cheering beyond many of you. But after a 441 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 4: couple of years I started having some opposition and people 442 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 4: that didn't understand me. 443 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 3: I used to think, why are they coming against me? 444 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 4: Just trying to keep the church going, talking about the 445 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 4: goodness of God. I'm not bothering anybody else. I realize 446 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 4: now the enemy doesn't fight you for where you are. 447 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 4: He fights you for where you're going. I thought I 448 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 4: would always be at the same level. I was satisfied 449 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 4: to maintain where we were, But God had something bigger 450 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 4: in me, things that I couldn't see. The enemy wasn't 451 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 4: fighting me for where I was He was fighting me 452 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 4: for the Compact Center. 453 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 3: He was fighting me for. 454 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 4: My books, for serious ExM, for the nights of hope. 455 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 4: You may be doing the right thing, but you have opposition. 456 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 3: You don't understand it. It's because there's. 457 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,479 Speaker 4: Something in your future much bigger than you think. You 458 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 4: can't see it right now, but even the enemy knows 459 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 4: it's coming. He knows you're a giant killer, you're a 460 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 4: history maker that you're going to affect generations to come. 461 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 3: Now. 462 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 4: Quit being discouraged by what's against you. If you aren't 463 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 4: a threat, the enemy wouldn't be bothering you. 464 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 3: It's because of the greatness that's in you. 465 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 4: What's come against you may be bigger, stronger. 466 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 3: Don't worry. 467 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 4: The most tied God is fighting for you right now. 468 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 3: He's crossing the lake. 469 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 4: Say in peace, be stilled, Now, believe and declare.
