Speaker 4: Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading

36
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 4: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

37
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 4: I hope you enjoy this message. I believe that God

38
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: wants every one of us to be a superhero. See.

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 4: God wants us to be fearless and courageous. He wants

40
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: us to be like the ones you see in the movies.

41
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 4: You know how they are about like the time the

42
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 4: enemy gets a hold of them, they fall down. He's

43
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 4: got them in the gridlock. That superhero turns around and

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 4: swirls around and before you know it, he's defeating the enemy,

45
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 4: or he comes out of nowhere. You know, you don't

46
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 4: know what happened to him. He comes out of nowhere

47
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: and shows up strong on the scene. You see, he

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 4: may fall, but he shows up strong. And I believe

49
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: that God wants us to show up strong. He wants

50
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 4: us to show up strong, not only for ourselves, but

51
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 4: for other people. He wants us to be a superhero.

52
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: And as we were singing together, that's how we're gonna

53
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 4: become this superhero powerhouse for Almighty God. It's only gonna

54
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: come when we do it together. You see, we're not

55
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 4: islands among ourselves. We were not intended to be alone.

56
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: When God created man, he said, you need a helpmate.

57
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 4: You need someone who's gonna link arms with you. You

58
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 4: need someone that can help you move forward, perpetuate my kingdom.

59
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 4: You see, we were never designed to be alone. The

60
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 4: scripture says that two are better than one because when

61
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 4: one falls, the others there to pick him up. You see,

62
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 4: we are going to defeat the enemy. We are going

63
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 4: to move forward when we're linked arms doing it together.

64
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: In Hebrews three point thirteen, listen to what it says.

65
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: It says to encourage one another daily. Now that sounds great,

66
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 4: doesn't it. Boy? You look good today. Oh I like

67
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 4: that presentation at work. Well, you're so pretty. We should

68
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: do that, shouldn't we. We should encourage each other daily.

69
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 4: That's what God says, encourage each other daily. You know,

70
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: God formed us in our mother's womb. He made us,

71
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 4: and he knows how we operate. You see, we have

72
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: instructions on how to operate to our highest potential and performance,

73
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 4: and we can find them in the word of God.

74
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: So he says, encourage each other daily. Now listen to

75
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 4: the rest of that verse, because this is the weighty

76
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: and meaty part of the verse. You see. If you

77
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 4: just encourage, that's great. You'll do it if you want to.

78
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 4: If you think about maybe I should go over and

79
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: see my grandmother today, but I really don't have time.

80
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 4: I've got a lot of things to do. We don't

81
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 4: take encouragement as seriously. But listen to this part. This

82
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 4: is what God was saying would happen when we stand together,

83
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 4: link arms and encourage each other daily. It's said to

84
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 4: encourage each other daily, so the deceitfulness of sin doesn't

85
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 4: harden our hearts. There's a weighty promise right there. When

86
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 4: we stand together. Guess what we stand opposing the enemy's deceit.

87
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 4: He wants to deceive us. He wants us isolated. He

88
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 4: doesn't want us to have the support that we were

89
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: designed to have. See. God says, if you will encourage,

90
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: you will be encouraged. If you will encourage, you can

91
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 4: stand against the enemy for someone else. See, sometimes when

92
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 4: you need encouragement, it's hard to stand against the enemy.

93
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 4: When you're discouraged, it's hard to stand against the enemy.

94
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: I've seen people get so discouraged, so down, so defeated,

95
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 4: they couldn't even think straight. You know, when you're discouraged

96
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: and down and defeated, that is the time that the

97
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 4: enemy wants to come in and have a heyday in

98
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 4: your mind. He wants to tell you that you're not

99
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: good enough, that you can't do it, that you'll never

100
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 4: get well. You guys will quit trying. You see, when

101
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 4: you're down and discouraged, that's when the enemy can come in.

102
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 4: But when you have people around you that are willing

103
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 4: to take this script seriously and say I'm not gonna

104
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 4: let them get down because I have the power to

105
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 4: stand against the enemy for them. You See, isn't it

106
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 4: interesting that God said our encouragement our encouragement can stand

107
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: against the enemy. Christian Covington was here earlier in the

108
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 4: eight thirty service. I looked over at him, and he's huge.

109
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 4: He places for the Texans. Do y'all know Christian Covington,

110
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 4: all right? Well he's huge, And I thought, well, that's

111
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 4: what we look like on the inside, big, kind of

112
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 4: like John Boy here, John Gray Boy, big and strong.

113
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 4: That's what we look like on the inside. I was

114
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: thinking about how when Christian Covington and his team they

115
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: play on the defense. Don't ask me positions. I just

116
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 4: know they play on the defense. I also know that

117
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 4: the defensive line is there to stand together so that

118
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 4: the other team, the opponent, cannot score on their team.

119
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 4: I do know that much about the volume will be

120
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 4: proud of me. But the way they do it is

121
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 4: they stand together. They know each other is right there,

122
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 4: and they're not gonna let their opponents score. Do you

123
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 4: know when we stand together locked arms, we don't let

124
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 4: the enemy score on each other. He cannot score. See.

125
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 4: Encouragement means to impart courage. It means to make fearless,

126
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 4: make brave, impart courage. That's what God is saying in

127
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: part courage to one another, because see, the enemy wants

128
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 4: to discourage, he wants to take our courage. He wants

129
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: to subtract from what God is doing in our life. See,

130
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: we have to stand together. We have to be superheroes.

131
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 4: When I look at Hebrews three point thirteen in this light,

132
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: I feel like Wonder Woman. I think, you know what,

133
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 4: every time I encourage somebody, I am slashing at the enemy.

134
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 4: I am kicking him, I'm defeating him, I'm pushing him back.

135
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 4: You ever see, wonder Woman, You can be Clark Kent.

136
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 4: If you're a guy, step in in the phone booth

137
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: and come out Superman. But that's the truth. I really

138
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 4: believe that. I believe if we understand the power of encouragement,

139
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 4: we're going to be empowered to encourage. Listen, encourage your family,

140
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 4: Encourage your children, Encourage that coworker, Encourage your boss. Hey,

141
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 4: encouragement doesn't mean they're being you encourage them because they're

142
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 4: being nice to you. You encourage them because God is

143
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 4: impressing on you that if you'll do that, you can

144
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 4: stand on that defensive line. And I really believe when

145
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 4: he says encourage you one another daily, that that means

146
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 4: there's a great exchange that takes place. See, if every

147
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 4: one of us would encourage someone daily, what would this

148
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 4: world look like? How strong would we really be? See,

149
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 4: we can think a lot of things, we can think

150
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: a lot of encouragement. We can think about doing a

151
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 4: lot of things. But it's not until we stand strong

152
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 4: and take action and begin to impart courage to each

153
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: other that things will change.

154
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 3: You.

155
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 4: See, you can't do anything about someone's situation. Was talking

156
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 4: to a staff member the other day. Hurricane Harvey, five

157
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: feet of water in her home came rushing in. Her

158
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 4: family had to leave, her family or children. They had

159
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 4: to leave immediately. She left with nothing. When they got

160
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 4: themselves settled into a place of dry ground and the

161
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: reality started settling in that they had just lost all

162
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 4: their material possessions in their home, everything, she was devastated.

163
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 4: She said, I was so discouraged. I was so overwhelmed.

164
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 4: I felt numb, and I couldn't even move. My husband,

165
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: being ahead of the house, couldn't believe that he had

166
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 4: just lost everything, and how was he going to rebuild

167
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: his family's life. He looked at her and he said,

168
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 4: we got to get out of this state. We have

169
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 4: got to get out of this situation in our mind,

170
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 4: this atmosphere of defeat. Let's go to the church and

171
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 4: help out. We were people, volunteers all over the place, distributing,

172
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 4: doing what they could do. She said, I simply sat

173
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 4: there thinking, I can't. I don't even know what to think.

174
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 4: I have no makeup, I have not even a hair

175
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 4: tie to tie my hair back with. I don't want

176
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 4: to go. Then she began to put a smile on

177
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 4: her face and said, about that time, a friend of

178
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 4: mine showed up, showed up with a bag full of makeup.

179
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 4: She said, not only did God tell her the color

180
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 4: foundation that I wore, she brought all the extras, the Msscara,

181
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: the blush, and the lip gloss. See, that's something that

182
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: only a woman can appreciate. You See, her friend that

183
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 4: day was standing in the defensive line for her. See

184
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 4: her friend that day allowed God to breathe life back

185
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: into her soul. She was discouraged, she was overwhelmed, but

186
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 4: that friend used the power of encouragement to get her

187
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: one step closer to her victory, one step closer to

188
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 4: her victory, she said. She put that makeup on, went

189
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 4: to her husband and said, I'm ready than ever to go.

190
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 4: I'm as ready as I'll ever be. He went to

191
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 4: the church and begin to help other people. I saw

192
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: her yesterday. If you looked at her, you wouldn't know

193
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 4: that what she had been through. You wouldn't know that

194
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 4: she was fighting the good fight of fate because she said,

195
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 4: every day God said, someone show up to bring me

196
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 4: courage and encourage my heart. You see, the enemy wanted

197
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 4: to defeat her. He wanted to get her thinking going

198
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 4: in the wrong direction. Because see, if he can get

199
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 4: your thinking going in the wrong direction, he can get

200
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 4: your life going in the wrong direction. And that's what

201
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 4: discouragement does. It gets your life going in the wrong direction. Hey,

202
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: as far as it's up to us, we can't let

203
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 4: those around us see discouragement or be discouraged. Because we're

204
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,479
Speaker 4: the Church of the Living God. We are the superheroes

205
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 4: for God Almighty. You see, we could not do a

206
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 4: thing about her five foot of water in her home, right,

207
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 4: I mean, we couldn't change that situation. I heard it

208
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 4: said like this, It's not what happens to you, it's

209
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 4: what happens in you that makes the difference. And because

210
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 4: she had a friend that day encourage her and in

211
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 4: part courage. The thing that the enemy wanted to do

212
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 4: did not happen in her. It didn't happen in her.

213
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 4: You see, her friend gave her that courage to keep

214
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 4: her heart soft, to believe that God had possibilities, that

215
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 4: it could be better than ever, that she could get

216
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 4: up again and move forward. That's what encouragement does to us.

217
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 4: The Israelites in Exodus six, it says they were too

218
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 4: discouraged to believe. They couldn't even hear the words of

219
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 4: Moses when God was trying to tell them what he

220
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 4: wanted to do for them. Because they were so deep

221
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 4: and buried under discouragement, they could not even hear about

222
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 4: the God of the impossible. Don't allow anyone around you

223
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 4: to be discouraged, because we are here to tell people

224
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 4: about the God of the possible. They don't have to

225
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: lose hope because we serve the God that can do anything.

226
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 4: If we will stay encouraged and continue to impart courage.

227
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 4: I truly believe that that exchange works two ways. We

228
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: will also be encouraged. When you encourage, you'll be encouraged.

229
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 4: When you're encouraged, you'll be strengthened to encourage yourself. Do

230
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 4: you know there's studies that say when you encourage people,

231
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 4: when you help someone, that it is an emotional high

232
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 4: that literally releases dopamine in your brain and makes you happy.

233
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 4: You see, it empowers you. And when you're empowered with

234
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 4: this emotion of happiness, then you can go and help

235
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 4: other people. When you're empowered with emotion of happiness, you

236
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: can help yourself. Because see, I truly believe there will

237
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 4: be days that we have to encourage ourself, just like David.

238
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 4: But God wants us to get good at encouraging others

239
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 4: and encouraging ourselves because those days that we can't, He'll provide.

240
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 4: Just like my friend. You know, sometimes encouragement is just

241
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 4: simply showing up with a broom and a mop or

242
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: a bag of makeup. You see, we need to encourage

243
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: not only with our words, but with our actions. Ask God,

244
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 4: give me somebody every day, God that I can have

245
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 4: a exchange with, that I can encourage in a meaningful

246
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 4: and profound way. If we will all ask God to

247
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 4: give us that one person. Put that one person on

248
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 4: our hear, whether it's your child, your husband, your friend,

249
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 4: your coworker, your boss. I believe that God will do

250
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 4: things in our life that we can even ask, think

251
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 4: or imagine. Amen, let's push back darkness with our encouragement.

Speaker 4: With millions of books on Amazon, there's a reading feeling

281
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 4: for everyone.

282
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: For example, Wands as he drifts away to Nirvana after

283
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: only the The first chapter is different to Maya's when

284
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: she discovered the narrator was in fact the Evil Twin,

285
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: which is also different.

286
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: To Noah's aw anytime the cute cyberpunk is mentioned, even

287
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,000
