Speaker 4: our area, please stop buying be a part of one

45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 4: of our services. I promise you we'll make you feel

46
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 4: right at home. I like to start with something funny,

47
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 4: and I heard about this elderly couple. They were sitting

48
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 4: in a swing celebrating their sixtieth wedding anniversary. Feeling romantic,

49
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 4: the husband said to his wife, honey, our love is

50
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: tried and true. She had difficulty hearing it and ask

51
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 4: him to repeat it. He said it louder, I said,

52
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 4: our love is tried and true. She still couldn't hear him.

53
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 4: Said what would you? Please speak up? Frustrated, he shouted,

54
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: I said, our love is tried and true. She said,

55
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: well fine, I'm sick of you too say it like

56
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 4: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what

57
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: it says. I am. I have what it says I have.

58
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 4: I can do what it says I can do. Today

59
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: I will be taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess.

60
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 4: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

61
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

62
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about the danger

63
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 4: of dry places. It's easy to lose our passion for life.

64
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: At one time, we were excited, we look forward to

65
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 4: each day. We were believing for our dreams. We love

66
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: to laugh, but over time, if we're not careful and

67
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: things haven't turned out the way we thought, will become dry.

68
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 4: When you're dry, life has lost its flavor. You smile

69
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 4: that there's no real joy behind it. You laugh with

70
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 4: your friends, but it's not genuine. You act normal in

71
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 4: front of people, but alone you're discouraged. You wonder what's wrong.

72
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: Sometimes we're dry because we're tired. The battles have taken

73
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 4: longer than we thought. We can be dry because we've

74
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: been hurt. Somebody did us wrong. Instead of letting it go,

75
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: we've held onto it. Some people are dry because they

76
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 4: have the wrong perspective. They think their challenges are too

77
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: big that they'll never work out. But there's a problem

78
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: with being dry. It doesn't just steal our joy, doesn't

79
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: just affect our attitude. It's deeper than that. The scripture

80
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 4: says when an unclean spirit leaves a person, it walks

81
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: through dry places seeking rest. When we're dry, we've stepped

82
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 4: into the enemy's territory. That's where he lives. And sometimes

83
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 4: he doesn't have to come to us. We go to him.

84
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 4: When you feel the blaws, no passion thoughts tell you

85
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 4: nothing good is in your future. You'll never meet the

86
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 4: right person, you'll never get out of debt. Recognize that's

87
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 4: the enemy trying to get you into his territory. When

88
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: you're positive, hopeful, full of praise, that's God's territory. The

89
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 4: enemy can't touch you. He can't cross that line. That's

90
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 4: why he works over time in our thought life. His

91
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: goal is to get us down and discouraged. He knows

92
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 4: when we're dry, we're giving him access. We're coming onto

93
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 4: his field. That's where he has the right to control

94
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 4: and manipulate. And maybe you have a good reason to

95
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: be dry. Life has thrown you some curves. You don't

96
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: see anything good up ahead. That's when you have to

97
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 4: dig down deep and say no, I am not going

98
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 4: to live discouraged, dragging through the day focused on what's wrong.

99
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: I know God is on the throne. I know he's

100
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 4: bigger than these problems. I know his plans for me

101
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 4: are for good. So I'm going to live this day

102
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: in faith, expecting his favor. You have to take control

103
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 4: of your thought life. That's where the battle's taking place,

104
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: and thoughts will tell you things like you're a victim.

105
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 4: Life hasn't treated you fairly. Your spouse doesn't love you

106
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: like he should. That company doesn't appreciate you. If you

107
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: let those thoughts play long enough, they'll keep you from

108
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: your destiny. Paul said in the book I Acts, I

109
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 4: Think Myself happy. You can think yourself out of a

110
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 4: dry place. You got into discouragement by thinking about how

111
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 4: wrong something was, thinking about who hurts you, thinking about

112
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 4: how things aren't going to improve. You've thought yourself into defeat.

113
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: Now turn it around and start thinking yourself into victory.

114
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 4: What God started in my life, he's going to finish.

115
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 4: No good thing will he withhold because I walk up rightly,

116
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days

117
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 4: of my life. What was meant for my harm? Lord?

118
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 4: I want to thank you right now you're turning to

119
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 4: my advantage. Get your mind going in the right direction.

120
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 4: Think yourself into joy. Think yourself into a good mood.

121
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: Think yourself into a positive, faith filled attitude. You cannot

122
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 4: live on autopilot and just think whatever comes your way.

123
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 4: If you do, negative thoughts will dominate. You have to

124
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 4: be proactive. Don't wait for thoughts of faith and hope

125
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 4: to come. Think them on purpose. If you'll fill your

126
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: mind with the right thoughts. There won't be any room

127
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 4: for the wrong thoughts. And when you feel the blaws,

128
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 4: you need to get into an environment that's uplifting. Don't

129
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 4: come home from work and sit in a dark room

130
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 4: and watch sad movies. Listen to sad songs and think

131
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 4: sad thoughts, and eat sad foods and hang around with

132
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 4: sad people. Sad times five equals real sad. Open up

133
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 4: the windows, let some light in the room, put on

134
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 4: some inspiring music. Maybe go outside and take a walk. Exercise,

135
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 4: get your endorphins kicking in. God has put certain hormones

136
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 4: in us. When we activate them, they give us a

137
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: boost and make us more passionate. They help to take

138
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: away the negativity. But it's easy to live a very

139
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 4: sedentary lifestyle, so you can't override natural laws and expect

140
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 4: to feel good. You need to exercise, You need proper sleep,

141
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: You need to eat healthy. Practical things can keep us

142
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 4: from being passionate and having the vision and energy that

143
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: we should. When you're dry, it's important who you spend

144
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: time with. You can't afford to hang around other dry people.

145
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 4: Misery loves company. Find some friends that are happy, positive, energetic.

146
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: You need people around you that brighten your day, that

147
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 4: lift your spirits, people that are fun, people that make

148
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: you laugh. Many times we gravitate to people that are

149
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 4: like us. If we're discouraged, we find discouraged people. If

150
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: we have addictions, we find others that have addictions. You

151
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: need to spend time with people that have what you want,

152
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 4: not that struggle in the same area. We have difficulties

153
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 4: in your marriage, don't find someone in that same situation

154
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 4: and sit around and talk about how bad your spouses are,

155
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 4: how unfair life is. Talking about the problems. Reliving the

156
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 4: hurts is only going to pull you down. It's not

157
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 4: going to make things improve. The situation may not change,

158
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 4: but you can change how you're responding. Isaiah said, a

159
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: rise from the depression in which the circumstances have kept

160
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 4: you rise to a new life. Sometimes we're waiting for

161
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 4: God to change how we feel. God make me happy,

162
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 4: God cheer me up. The truth is God is waiting

163
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 4: on us. You walked into that drive place. The good

164
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 4: news is you can walk out of it. A rise

165
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 4: from the depression, Shake off the blaws, shake off what

166
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: didn't work out This day is a gift from God,

167
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 4: you may have some difficulties, but most likely there's a

168
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 4: lot more right in your life than there is wrong.

169
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 4: Some people would love to trade places with you. They

170
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 4: would gladly take your life. Come out of that dry

171
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 4: place that's given the enemy access. When you arise. What

172
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: will happen is God will arise when you come over

173
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: to his side. You'll get your joy back, your passion back.

174
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 4: You weren't made to drag through the day, discouraged, enduring life.

175
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 4: You were made to enjoy life. In the scripture, David

176
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 4: had seen God do amazing things. Take him from a

177
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 4: shepherd boy, no experience, no training, chosen to be the king.

178
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 4: He defeated Goliath and became an overnight hero. He outlasted

179
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 4: King Saul, took the throne. He led Israel from one

180
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 4: victory to another. No greater leader than David. You would

181
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 4: think he would live on the mountaintop, never have a

182
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 4: down day. That's not the case. We're all tend to

183
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 4: get dry, Psalm forty two. David was so discouraged he

184
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 4: didn't want to go on. Thoughts told him that he

185
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 4: had seen his best days, that the opposition was too big.

186
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: He made the mistake of believing those lies, he ended

187
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 4: up in a dry place. He could have stayed there,

188
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 4: lived defeated. Instead, he said to himself, why are you

189
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 4: cast down? O my soul hope in the Lord. He

190
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: was saying, I may feel discouraged, but I'm not going

191
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 4: to let feelings rule my life. I'm not going to

192
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 4: let these negative thoughts keep playing. He talked to himself, David,

193
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 4: get your hopes up. He understood, when we're dry, we've

194
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 4: stepped into the enemy's territory. We're giving him rights that

195
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 4: he shouldn't have. It's not that God has abandoned us,

196
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 4: not that God stepped off the throne. It's the fact

197
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 4: that we walked over to the other side. I'm asking

198
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 4: you to stay out of dry places. Don't let your

199
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 4: mind think of all the negative, relive everything wrong in

200
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 4: your life. It may be true, but don't go there.

201
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 4: The flesh loves to feel sorry for itself. Think about

202
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 4: what you didn't get, how you weren't raised right. Just

203
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 4: another day, I gotta drag through it. As long as

204
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 4: you think that way, you're going to live defeated. You

205
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 4: have to do like David and make the decision. I'm

206
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 4: coming out of the dry place. It starts by changing

207
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 4: your thinking. God's plans for you are for good. There

208
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 4: are opportunities in your future bigger than you can imagine.

209
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 4: That sickness is not permanent, that financial difficulty is not

210
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 4: how your story ends. That addiction is not going to

211
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 4: hinder you your whole life. God has the final say. Now,

212
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 4: while you're waiting for him to change things, why don't

213
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 4: you thank him that it's on the way. Why don't

214
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 4: you be grateful for what's right in your life. We

215
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 4: have to guard our mind. It's easy to step over

216
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 4: into a dry place.

217
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 3: Now.

218
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that you're dry because you haven't had

219
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: any victories. You haven't been successful like David. You may

220
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 4: have seen God do amazing things, protect you, promote you,

221
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 4: bring great people across your path. You can testify of

222
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 4: the goodness of God, but that doesn't exempt us from

223
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 4: becoming dry. The discouragement test comes to every person times

224
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 4: when we're tired. We've won some victories, we've been our best,

225
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 4: but we don't know if we can keep standing strong.

226
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 4: If you'll get your fire back, God is going to

227
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 4: renew your strength. He's going to give you passion, energy,

228
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 4: vitality like you've never seen. Your second wind is on

229
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 4: its way. God is about to breathe on your life

230
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 4: in a new way. The victories you've seen in the

231
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 4: past are going to peale in comparison to what God

232
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 4: is about to do. Psalm sixty eight says you sent

233
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 4: an abundant rain, o Lord to refresh the weary land.

234
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 4: You may be weary. You fought hard, but doesn't seem

235
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 4: like that discouragement will go away. God knows how you feel,

236
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: He knows what you're up against. You may not be

237
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 4: able to walk out of the drive place on your own.

238
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 4: Don't worry. God is about to send an abundant rain

239
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 4: to refresh you. He's going to make things happen that

240
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 4: you couldn't make happen. You're going to see an abundance

241
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 4: of joy, an abundance of strength, an abundance of health,

242
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 4: an abundance of resources. The forces that have held you

243
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 4: back are being broken right now. The enemies you see

244
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 4: today you will see no more now. When you're tempted

245
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 4: to be discouraged, turn it around. Father, Thank you for

246
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 4: the rain that Thank you for the healing, the favor,

247
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 4: the breakthroughs. The right people. Get your hopes up start

248
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 4: expecting the abundant rain. That's the way our God is.

249
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: He could have just said, I'm going to send rain

250
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 4: to refresh the weary land. That would be good, we'd

251
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 4: be grateful. But notice the heart of God. He said,

252
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 4: in effect, I'm going to make the enemy pay for

253
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 4: bringing the trouble. I'm gonna make him pay for making

254
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 4: you dry. I'm going to send an abundant rain. I'm

255
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 4: going to send more than enough, exceedingly abundantly, above and beyond.

256
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 4: Get ready for overflowing. Get ready. God is about to

257
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 4: exceed your expectations. You are coming out of that dry

258
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 4: place into more than enough. But sometimes we want to

259
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 4: be passionate, but the feeling is gone. We don't have

260
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 4: the same drive and emotion like we used to have,

261
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 4: and we think something is wrong. But psychologists have this

262
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 4: covered what they call the happiness curve. Research shows most

263
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 4: people are their happiest at twenty years old. From there,

264
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 4: it goes down till you're fifty. At fifty, it starts

265
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 4: coming back up. At seventy, you're as happy as you

266
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 4: were at twenty, but it doesn't stop there. It continues

267
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 4: to rise. After seventy, you're the happiest and most fulfilled

268
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 4: than you've ever been. That's what God said, your latter

269
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 4: days will be better than your former days. But we

270
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 4: see people that are going through a midlife crisis. They

271
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 4: have no passion, They are burned out, they don't feel

272
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 4: like going on. That's at fifty year low. It's not unusual.

273
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 4: You're not the only one that feels that way. Don't

274
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 4: give up on your dreams. Don't go over to a

275
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 4: dry place. Some of what you're facing is just the

276
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 4: natural rhythms of life. But the people that stay happy,

277
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 4: the people that don't go down and get to courage,

278
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 4: are the people that rule their thoughts. The people that

279
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 4: stay full of hope, the people that know that God

280
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 4: is still on the throne. Don't believe those lies that

281
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 4: you've seen your best days. You wouldn't be alive if

282
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 4: God didn't have something amazing in front of you. I

283
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 4: have a friend. He was raised in a low income

284
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 4: family here in Houston. His father worked as a yardman,

285
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 4: mowing people's lawns for thirty one years. He died when

286
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 4: the young man was thirteen. His mother raised nine children

287
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 4: by herself. She worked as a maid at the Rice

288
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 4: Hotel downtown. She never learned how to drive. She'd get

289
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 4: up early in the morning, make her kids breakfast, get

290
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 4: them off to school, then she would take the bus

291
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 4: to work. She didn't have a lot of money, but

292
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 4: she had a lot of faith. When times got tough

293
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 4: and didn't look like they were gonna make it, she

294
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 4: would tell her children, don't worry, Tomorrow will be better

295
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 4: than today. They heard that over and over. She kept

296
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 4: speaking faith into them. She knew God would make a

297
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 4: way where they didn't see anyway. Against the odds. The

298
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 4: young man was able to attend college, and he excelled

299
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 4: in school. He went on to Harvard University and earned

300
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 4: his law degree. He served twenty seven years in the

301
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 4: Texas House of Representatives. Today, our friend Sylvester Turner is

302
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 4: the mayor of Houston. Mayor Turner's mother was in a

303
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 4: dry place. She couldn't help it. It was the hand

304
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 4: she had been dealt, but she didn't let the dryness

305
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 4: get in her. If she would have lived defeated, complaining

306
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 4: about how unfair life was going to work with a

307
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 4: sour attitude, he wouldn't be the mayor. When the odds

308
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 4: are against you, you don't see how it can work out.

309
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 4: Instead of being discouraged, do like she did. Keep reminding yourself,

310
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 4: tomorrow will be better than today. That's not just being positive,

311
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 4: that's what the scripture says. The path of the righteous

312
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 4: gets brighter and brighter. You haven't seen your best days.

313
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 4: God has good breaks already lined up in your future.

314
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 4: If he showed you right now, you couldn't fathom it.

315
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 4: If somebody would have told Mayor Turner at thirteen, in

316
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 4: a single parent home, no father, mother, raising nine children,

317
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 4: working as a maid, that one day you'll go to Harvard.

318
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 4: One day you'll lead the fourth largest city in America.

319
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 4: One day you'll stand before kings and presidents, he probably

320
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 4: wouldn't have believed it. He could have thought, not me,

321
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 4: that's impossible. I'm in a dry place. I'm in a

322
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 4: limited environment. My obstacles are insurmountable. God is not limited

323
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 4: by what you don't have. He's not limited by how

324
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 4: you were raised. He's not limited by the opposition. Mayor

325
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 4: Turner kept that phrase playing over and over. Tomorrow will

326
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 4: be better than today. That was fuel for his faith,

327
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 4: fuel for his dreams. But sometimes we don't go to

328
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 4: the dry place. The dry place comes to us The

329
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 4: key is, don't let the dryness get in you. Stay

330
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 4: full of hope, keep thanking God that the abundant rain

331
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 4: is on the way, keep expecting things to change. Have

332
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 4: that attitude. I know breakthroughs are coming, I know healing

333
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 4: is on the way. I know doors are going to

334
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 4: open that I could not open. That's how you stay

335
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 4: out of the dry place. You don't focus on how

336
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 4: big the problem is. You focus on how big your

337
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 4: God is. One Kings, chapter nineteen. The prophet Elijah had

338
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 4: just seen one of the greatest victories of his life.

339
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 4: Four hundred and fifty false prophets that worship the god

340
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 4: bail had come against him. Elijah called down fire from

341
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 4: heaven and they were all killed. When the king's wife,

342
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 4: Jezebel heard what happened, she was furious. She sent word

343
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 4: to Elijah saying, if I don't kill you by this

344
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 4: time tomorrow, then I'll kill myself. Elijah took off running

345
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 4: for his life. It's funny he wasn't afraid of four

346
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty men, but he is scared to death

347
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 4: of one woman. He ran as fast and as far

348
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 4: away as he could. He dropped his assistant off at

349
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 4: the city, traveled another day out into the desert, sat

350
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 4: down under a tree. He was so discouraged, so depressed,

351
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 4: he didn't want to live. He said, God, I'm done,

352
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 4: Take me on home. Here. He had just seen the

353
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 4: greatest miracle of his life. Twenty four hours later, he

354
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 4: was at his lowest moment. Just because you have great

355
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 4: victories doesn't mean you're not going to have to fight discouragement.

356
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: You may have a great testimony, but there will be

357
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 4: other tests. Elijah was in the desert in a dry place,

358
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 4: so tired he fell asleep, hoping he wouldn't wake back up.

359
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 4: You would think God would say, Elijah, what's wrong with you?

360
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 4: Of all people? Why are you discouraged? You've seen my

361
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 4: power again and again. I'm done with you. God never

362
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 4: gives up on us. While he was sleeping, an angel

363
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 4: came woke him up and said, Elijah, get up and eat.

364
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: There was a jar of water by his side and

365
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 4: hot bread baking over some calls. God is so good.

366
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 4: He didn't just bring him food. He cooked him a meal.

367
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 4: Elijah ate that meal, fell back asleep. He was tired, exhausted.

368
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 4: That's one reason he felt like giving up. You don't

369
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 4: make good decisions when you're worn out. The Angel woke

370
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 4: him up a second time, till Elijah eats some more.

371
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 4: There's a long journey up ahead. The first meal was

372
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 4: for where he had been. Se meal was for where

373
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 4: he was going. God never just brings you out. He

374
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 4: always gives you a provision for what's ahead. You may

375
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 4: have had your meal for where you've been, but get ready,

376
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 4: a meal is coming for where you're going. New levels

377
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 4: of talent increase favor vision. Elijah ran for forty days,

378
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 4: ended up hiding in a cave on Mount Sinai. He

379
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 4: was still afraid, discouraged, thinking his life was over. Verse

380
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 4: nine says the Lord came to him in the cave

381
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 4: and said, Elijah, what are you doing here?

382
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 5: Now?

383
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 4: I don't believe God was just talking about the location.

384
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 4: He was saying, what are you doing here in your mind?

385
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 4: Why are you looking at this situation from the wrong perspective?

386
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 4: Why do you think this lady is more powerful than me?

387
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 4: Like Elijah, you may not see how your situation could

388
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 4: work out in your health, your finances, or relation. You're worried, discouraged,

389
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 4: losing sleep. God is saying, what are you doing here?

390
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 4: Don't you know? I am still on the throne. I

391
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 4: control the universe. I've brought you out in the past,

392
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 4: I'm gonna bring you out in the future. And I

393
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 4: just say, God, I'm discouraged because I'm the only prophet alive.

394
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 4: I'm the only one that hasn't bowed down to Bell

395
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 4: and now they're trying to kill me too. When you're discouraged,

396
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 4: when you're in a dry place, it's easy to have

397
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 4: an exaggerated view of your problem. I'm the only one

398
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 4: that has all these bad breaks. I'm the only one

399
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 4: that has a boss that treats me like this. God said, Elijah,

400
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 4: you're not the only one. I have seven thousand prophets

401
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 4: that have not bowed down. Take the pressure off. You're

402
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 4: not the only one facing what you're up against. People

403
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 4: have been where you are. God brought them out. He's

404
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 4: going to bring you out too. God told Elijah to

405
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 4: come out of the cave, come out of hiding and

406
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 4: stand on the side of the mountain. There was a

407
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 4: huge windstorm like a tornado, so strong that rocks were

408
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 4: flying through the air, dust so thick you couldn't see

409
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 4: anything that passed. Then there was a great earthquake. The

410
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 4: ground shook, rocks came tumbling down. That passed. There was

411
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 4: a huge fire burned everything around him. That passed. Then

412
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,959
Speaker 4: there was the sound of a gentle whisper, a still

413
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 4: small voice. After all those huge signs, God had his attention.

414
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 4: Elijah leaned in to listen closely. The voice whispered, what

415
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 4: are you doing here? God asked him a second time,

416
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 4: Why are you depressed over a problem that's only temporary.

417
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 4: Elijah thought his life was over, when in fact, in

418
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 4: just a few days he met Elisha, a young man

419
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 4: that he mentored. Elisha did twice as many miracles as Elijah.

420
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,479
Speaker 4: Elijah's life wasn't over. He was about to come in

421
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 4: to double the impact. Those thoughts that are telling you

422
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 4: it's all downhill. You have too many problems. The obstacles

423
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 4: are too big. God is going to do for you

424
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 4: what he did for Elijah. You're coming in to double.

425
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 4: That's why the enemy is trying to stop you so hard.

426
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 4: The windstorm, Elijah faced, the earthquake, the fire that was

427
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 4: the enemy bringing his biggest challenges. But when it was

428
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 4: all said and done, Elijah was still standing strong. We

429
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 4: see this principle with Jesus. He was in the desert,

430
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 4: in a dry place. He was tempted three times by Satan.

431
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 4: The final temptation was the biggest. Satan said, if you'll

432
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: bow down before me, I'll give you all the kingdoms

433
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 4: of the world. That was his last attempt to try

434
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 4: to deceive him. Jesus wouldn't give in. Immediately, an angel

435
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 4: came to strengthen Jesus. You may feel like you're in

436
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 4: a desert, a dry place. The storms, the winds, the challenges.

437
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 4: They've done all they could to stop you, but you're

438
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 4: still standing. Jezebel didn't get you. The windstorm didn't harm you.

439
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 4: The earthquake didn't take you out. You stood strong. You

440
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 4: passed the test. Now, like with Jesus and Elijah, the

441
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 4: Angel is coming to strengthen you. Things are about to

442
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 4: change in your favor. Negative situations are about to turn around.

443
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 4: What you're praying about is on the way. Now do

444
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 4: your part. Stay out of the dry places, don't go

445
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 4: over into the enemy's territory. In your mind. Quit thinking

446
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 4: about what's not going to work out. All those challenges

447
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 4: you face. That was the enemy doing his best, but

448
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 4: his best was not enough. Now you may be tired

449
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 4: from fighting, but get ready. God is about to send

450
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 4: an abundant rain to refresh you. Believe in declare, breakthroughs

451
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 4: are coming, healing is coming, promotion is coming, New levels

452
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 4: are coming. The fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name.

453
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 4: If you receive it, can you save him in Today?

454
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 4: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

455
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 4: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

456
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 4: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll repent of my sins. Come

457
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,600
