He was driving down the road when 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 3: he got pulled over by policeman. The officer came up 43 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 3: to the window and smelled alcohol. He saw a thermost 44 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 3: and said, sir, what are you drinking. The minister said, 45 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 3: just water. Officer, he asked to see the thermosts. He 46 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: took one sniff and said it smells like wine to me. 47 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 3: The minister said, what do you know. Jesus did it again? 48 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: Come on, hold up your bible. Say it like you 49 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 3: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 50 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 3: says I am. I have what it says I have. 51 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 3: I can do what it says I can do. Today 52 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 53 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 54 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 55 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 3: I want to talk to you today about you have 56 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 3: the cure. One of the challenges we face with this 57 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 3: coronavirus is there are no antibodies. We've never seen this 58 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 3: strain of virus, so there is no remedy. Yet. Researchers 59 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 3: are working tirelessly to develop vaccine. Most reports say it's 60 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 3: going to take about a year or more without a cure. 61 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 3: We're at the mercy of the virus. A friend of 62 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: mine is a physician that specializes in infectious disease. He said, 63 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 3: there are diseases that he treated thirty years ago that 64 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 3: he doesn't see today because we found the antidote, Because 65 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: vaccines and antibodies were developed. What used to harm us 66 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 3: doesn't harm us anymore. Once you have the cure, you 67 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: don't have to be afraid of the disease. But what 68 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 3: about these viruses that you can't see with the microscope? Guilt, fear, depression, addictions. 69 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: Some viruses you can't treat with a physical vaccine. There 70 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 3: are poisons that can infect our thinking, our self esteem. 71 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 3: If we only had an antidote to deal with the 72 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: guilt from our past mistakes, the times we failed didn't 73 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: make good decisions. Now we go around in regrets, down 74 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 3: on ourselves. If we only had the cure for the hurts, 75 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 3: the disappointments, the unfair childhood, now we're tempted to live bitter, insecure, 76 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 3: no passion. The good news is two thousand years ago 77 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: the antidote was developed for everything that will come against you. 78 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: Not by leading scientists, not by team of researchers, but 79 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: by the son of the living God. When Jesus went 80 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 3: to the cross, he took on our guilt, our shame, 81 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 3: our failures. He not only bore our sins, but he 82 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 3: took our sicknesses before he was crucified. He was beaten 83 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 3: with thirty nine stripes on his back. Studies tell us 84 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 3: there are thirty nine major categories of disease. He took 85 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 3: one stripe for each one. That's why it says by 86 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 3: his stripes you were healed. We are not at the 87 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 3: mercy of fear, depression, addictions. We have the cure. The 88 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 3: most tied God is breathing in our direction. Him and 89 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: being for you is more than the world being against you. 90 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 3: Don't let the fear, the guilt, the depression hold you down. 91 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 3: Take the antidote. Father, Thank you that I am forgiven. 92 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 3: I am redeemed, I am free, I am healthy and whole. 93 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 3: When thoughts tell you you're just average, there's nothing special 94 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: about you. If you dwell on that poison, it will 95 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 3: infect your thinking. You have to take your medicine. I 96 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 3: am fearfully and wonderfully made. I'm wearing a crown of favor. 97 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 3: I have royal blood flowing through my veins. Proverb says 98 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: God's word is like a medicine. When you meditate on it, 99 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 3: it brings healing and holness. When thoughts whisper you'll always 100 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: struggle in your finances. This slowdown is going to ruin 101 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 3: your business. Don't let that virus take root. Father, thank 102 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 3: you that the economy is not my source, but you 103 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 3: are my source. You said you would prosper me even 104 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 3: in the desert. You have the cure. Now make sure 105 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 3: that you're taking your medicine. One time, the Israelites had 106 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 3: turned against God and they started worshiping idols. They ended 107 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 3: up exiled from their own land and brought into captivity 108 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 3: in Babylon. It was their own fault. They had brought 109 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 3: the trouble on themselves. The prophet Jeremiah was very discouraged. 110 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 3: He asked, is there no bomb in Gilead? Is there 111 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 3: no physician that can help us? He was saying, God, 112 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 3: is there no cure? Is there no remedy from this 113 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 3: virus that we've let infect us? He likened it to 114 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: being bit by poisonous snakes. The truth is we've all 115 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 3: been bitten by something, Bitten by guilt, bitten by fear, 116 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 3: bitten by rejection. How do we deal with the venom? 117 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: How do we get rid of the poison and not 118 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 3: let it stop our destiny? I read about how they 119 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 3: develop anti venom for snake bites. Years ago, after much research, 120 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 3: scientists took some of the poisonous venom from the snake 121 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 3: and injected it into horses. The horse would naturally develop 122 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: antibodies that they could then remove and use it as 123 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 3: serum for someone that was bitten by a snake. But 124 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 3: over time they realized the anti venom from the blood 125 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: of horses wasn't working fast enough in people. Many were 126 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: losing their lives. They needed an anti venom that was 127 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 3: more powerful, more effected. They tested many animals and finally 128 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 3: discovered that the blood of a lamb produced the most 129 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: effective anti venom. Unlike the blood of a horse. When 130 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 3: the sheep was injected with the poisonous venom, the antibodies 131 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 3: it created weren't much faster in people and produced a 132 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 3: much stronger and more powerful anti venom. A few years ago, 133 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 3: they discovered that sheep in South Australia produced some of 134 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: the most effective antibody than anywhere in the world. It's 135 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 3: because those sheep are in a p steam environment where 136 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: they are free from disease that typically affect other sheep, 137 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 3: and the fact that these sheep are so healthy and 138 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: have such pure blood that's why they create the most 139 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 3: powerful anti venom. Think back to the Garden of Eden. 140 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 3: That's the first time we see a poisonous snake. The 141 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 3: enemy is called a serpent. He bit Adam and Eve, 142 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 3: not physically, but in their thinking. He deceived them and 143 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 3: they became poisoned. They ate the forbidden fruit. They did 144 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 3: wrong and opened the door to trouble. All of a sudden, 145 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: they were afraid. They realized they were naked. They ran 146 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 3: and hid. Fear came in, guilt, shame, heartache. God had 147 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 3: to come up with a plan to deal with the 148 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 3: venom that had poisoned mankind. He needed to create an 149 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 3: anti venom, but it had to be something incredibly powerful. 150 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 3: That meant it had to come from the purest blood, 151 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: the most effective source. God didn't choose the blood of 152 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 3: a horse. He didn't choose the blood of a goat. 153 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 3: He didn't choose the blood of another animal. This time, 154 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 3: he chose the blood of his only son. The first 155 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 3: time John the Baptist saw Jesus, he said, behold the 156 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. 157 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 3: Jesus wasn't just any lamb. He was the sinless, spotless 158 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 3: lamb of God. That's why his anti venom is more 159 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 3: powerful than any poison that comes against you. The enemy 160 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 3: will try to poison you with doubt. It's never going 161 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 3: to work out. Poison you with fear. What if you 162 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 3: catch that virus, poison you with insecurity? You're not good enough. 163 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 3: Nobody wants to be around you. That poison cannot keep 164 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 3: you from your destiny. It is no match for the 165 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: anti venom created by the Most High God. Now quit 166 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 3: telling yourself you've made too many mistakes, guilty, condemned. Take 167 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 3: your antibody. Father. Thank you that your mercy is bigger 168 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 3: than my mistakes. Thank you that what you started in 169 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 3: my life you will finish. You have to receive God's 170 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 3: mercy and move forward. You can't reach your destiny if 171 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 3: you're always looking back. Nothing you've done is a surprise 172 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 3: to God. He knew every mistake you would make, every failure. 173 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 3: You can still get to where you're supposed to be, 174 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 3: but you have to shake off the guilt and move ahead. 175 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 3: When you're dealing with fear, depression, anxiety, don't just accept it. 176 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 3: Think I'll always struggle in this area. Take your medicine. Father, 177 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 3: Thank you that I am free. I have the mind 178 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 3: of Christ. I have peace that passes understanding. Lies will 179 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 3: tell you what you're dealing with is permanent. There's no solution. 180 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 3: You'll never get well, never break the addiction. Just say 181 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 3: no thanks. I know the blood of the lamb is 182 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 3: more power than the venom of any snake. Yes, there 183 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 3: are times that we get bit Things happen we didn't 184 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 3: see coming. But you have to remind yourself. God is 185 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 3: not up in heaven looking for a cure, hoping that 186 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 3: virus doesn't defeat you, trying to figure out what he's 187 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 3: going to do. He's already created the cure two thousand 188 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 3: years ago. He defeated the enemy once and for all. 189 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 3: The scripture says he rendered him powerless. One version says 190 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 3: he brought him to naught. Naught means zero. The enemy 191 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 3: has no power over you. He can't keep you from 192 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 3: your purpose. The only way he can stop you is 193 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 3: if you start believing his lies. God's not going to 194 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 3: bless you. Look at the mistakes you've made. You'll never 195 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 3: accomplish your dreams. You've had too many bad breaks. Don't 196 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 3: let that poison keep you from the awesome future God 197 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: has in store. Start taking the anti venom. God hasn't 198 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 3: brought you this far to leave you. Just because you 199 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 3: don't see away doesn't mean God doesn't have a way 200 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 3: right now. He's working behind the scenes in your life. 201 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 3: You wouldn't be alive if he didn't have something amazing 202 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 3: in front of you. Why do you think the enemy's 203 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 3: trying to stop you. He doesn't bother people that are 204 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 3: not a threat. He wouldn't waste his time on you 205 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 3: if he didn't know you were a world changer, a 206 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 3: history maker, that you have seeds of greatness. He knows 207 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 3: God is about to open doors bigger than you've dreamed. 208 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 3: You're about to step into new levels of your destiny. Now, 209 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 3: don't be surprised if you get a few snake bites, 210 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 3: so to speak, a friend walks away, the company doesn't 211 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 3: need you anymore, and unexpected illness, that poison can cause 212 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 3: you to get infected, live worried, give up on your dreams. 213 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 3: Or you can take that anti venom. God. I know 214 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 3: you're still on the throne. I know you. No weapon 215 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 3: formed against me is going to prosper. I'm not going 216 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 3: to just come out. I'm going to come out better 217 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 3: than I was before. There was a young lady that 218 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: lost her father to an illness. They were very close 219 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 3: and spent a lot of time together. She was so 220 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 3: devastated and so heartbroken. She had been bit, so to speak, 221 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 3: by something she never saw coming. She could have become 222 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 3: bitter sour let that poison the rest of her life, 223 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 3: but she believed God was still in control. It wasn't easy, 224 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 3: but she kept moving forward. When you go through loss 225 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: and things that kind of knocked the wind out of you, 226 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 3: it's tempting to give up on life. Think you've seen 227 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 3: your best days. That's when you have to dig down 228 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 3: deep and say, Father, thank you that you have beauty 229 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 3: for these ashes. You said, weeping indoors for a night, 230 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 3: but joy comes in the morning. Lord, thank you that 231 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 3: there are good days up ahead. Every day you make 232 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 3: this choice to stay in faith, to have a good 233 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 3: attitude when it's not fair to believe when nothing is 234 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 3: improving you can't see it. But God is working behind 235 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 3: the scenes. He's making things happen that you couldn't make 236 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 3: happen as a part of the healing process. Every day, 237 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 3: this young lady texted her father's number and told what 238 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 3: went on that day and what she was feeling it 239 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 3: was her way of staying close to her father. She 240 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: told him how she had overcome cancer, how she had 241 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 3: finished college and graduated with honors. Not just the good things. 242 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 3: She texted about the boyfriend that broke her heart, some 243 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 3: of the other challenges she had faced. All the while, 244 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 3: she thought she was doing this just to help her heal, 245 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 3: to help her move forward. But on the fourth anniversary 246 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 3: of her father's death, the young Lady received a response 247 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 3: from the number she had been texting. She thought it 248 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 3: was no longer working, but the text said, my name 249 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 3: is Brad. Three years ago I lost my daughter in 250 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 3: a car accident. Your text every day have been what's 251 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 3: keeping me going. He went on to tell her how 252 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 3: proud he was of her, how proud her father would be. 253 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 3: The young Lady said that was her sign that everything 254 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 3: was okay, that she could let her father rest in peace. Today. 255 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 3: She's moving forward and doing great things. When life throws 256 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 3: us occur it's easy to take the venom, go around poisoned, 257 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 3: put the chip on our shoulder. If you'll keep moving forward, 258 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 3: God will give you beauty for those ashes. He didn't 259 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 3: bring you this far to leave you that loss. The disappointment. 260 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 3: The bad break didn't stop his plan. He has you 261 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 3: in the palm of his hand. There are great days 262 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 3: up ahead. Don't let that poison stay in you. Take 263 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 3: the anti venom. Believe that God is in control and 264 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 3: that your latter days will be better than your former days. 265 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 3: In numbers twenty one, the Israelites were in the desert, 266 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 3: headed to the Promised Land. God had given them victory 267 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 3: over different armies, parted the Red Sea, freed them from slavery. 268 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 3: But they got tired of traveling through the desert. They 269 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 3: begin to complain and be disgruntled. They said, Moses, there's 270 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 3: nothing good to eat out here. We can't stand this 271 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 3: manna anymore. Why did you bring us to the desert 272 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 3: to die. Let's just go back to Egypt and be 273 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 3: slaves again. They started talking bad about Moses, stirring up trouble. 274 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 3: The scripture says, poisonous snakes came into their camp, and 275 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 3: many of them were bitten and died. And after all 276 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 3: God has done for us, when we're tempted to complain, 277 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 3: be discontent. That's shaky ground here. God was giving them 278 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 3: manna each morning, supernaturally providing food in the desert but 279 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 3: they were finding fault. The next verse says they came 280 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 3: running back to Moses and said, Moses, we have sinned. 281 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 3: It's funny how quick their attitude changed. Trouble has a 282 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 3: way of helping us have the right perspective. They went 283 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 3: on to say, Moses, please pray that God will take 284 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 3: away these snakes. One moment they were talking bad about Moses. 285 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 3: The next moment they were asking him to pray for them. 286 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 3: If you're going to be a leader, if God's going 287 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 3: to trust you with influence, sometimes you have to pray 288 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 3: for people who were criticizing you the day before. You 289 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 3: have to be good to someone that doesn't deserve your goodness. 290 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 3: I'm sure Moses was tempted to say, yeah, I would 291 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 3: love to pray for you. God send more snakes. God, 292 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 3: get rid of the rest of them. If you're going 293 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 3: to pass this test, you have to swallow your pride 294 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 3: and do the right thing, even though they don't deserve it. 295 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 3: It's interesting what God told Moses to do. He said, 296 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 3: make a bronze snake, put it up on a pole, 297 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 3: and everyone that looks up at that snake will be healed. 298 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 3: Why would he use a snake that's what they were 299 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 3: trying to get rid of. You would think God would say, 300 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 3: make a bronze douth or make a bronze ark of 301 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 3: the covenant. But God took the very thing that was 302 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 3: the problem and turned it into the solution. That's what 303 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 3: the scripture says. What the enemy meant for harm, God 304 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 3: turns to your advantage. The snakes didn't stop biting them. 305 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 3: They weren't free from trouble. But from then on anyone 306 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 3: who looked up at that bronze snake was healed. Years later, 307 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 3: Jesus was talking to Nicodemus. He said in John chapter three, 308 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 3: just as Moses lifted up the snake on a pole 309 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 3: in the wilderness, so I, the son of Man will 310 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 3: be lifted up on a pole, and everyone that looks 311 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 3: up and believes in me will have eternal life. Moses 312 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 3: having the bronze snake on a pole was foreshadowing Jesus 313 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 3: dying on the cross. But the snake represents evil, Jesus 314 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 3: represents good. How could that be? Paul said in Second Corinthians, 315 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 3: Jesus became sin for us so that we could become 316 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 3: the righteousness of God. He became what he wasn't so 317 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,719 Speaker 3: we could become who we were created to be. On 318 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 3: that cross, Jesus took all of our failures, all of 319 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 3: our shame, our guilt. Now whoever looks up to the 320 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: sun and believes in him will live. My question is, 321 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 3: what are you looking at your circumstances? How big the 322 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 3: problem is? This virus has me so worried. You need 323 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 3: to look up. There's healing when you look up. There's 324 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 3: freedom when you look up. There's victory when you look up. 325 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 3: There's salvation when you look up. Don't go through life 326 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 3: looking down thinking this problem is too big. It's never 327 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 3: going to work out. I've been through too much. Get 328 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 3: a new perspective. The forces that are for you are 329 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 3: greater than the forces that are against you. You may 330 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 3: have been bitten by mistakes, bitten by divorce, bitten by hurts, 331 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 3: but that is not how your story ends. That poison 332 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 3: doesn't have the final say. God is saying, look up, 333 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 3: you haven't seen your best days. Healing is coming, promotion 334 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 3: is coming, the right people are coming. Well, Joel, sounds good, 335 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 3: but I've made a lot of mistakes. Join the crowd. 336 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 3: We all have. Look up, there's forgiveness. Look up, there's mercy. 337 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 3: Look up, there's another chance. Look up, there's a God 338 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 3: that doesn't give up on you. The scripture says, the 339 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 3: calling on your life is irrevocable. Well, I've gone through loss, 340 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 3: I've had bad breaks, my relationship didn't work out. Look up, 341 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 3: there are new beginnings. Look up, there are divine connections. 342 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 3: Look up, there is beauty for those ashes. After Jesus 343 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 3: was crucified, two women went to the tomb early Easter 344 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 3: morning to anoint his body. They noticed the huge stone 345 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 3: to the entrance was rolled away. They were puzzled. They 346 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 3: went in and saw a young man wearing a bright 347 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 3: white robe sitting next to where the body should be. 348 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 3: They didn't realize he was an angel. They stood there 349 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 3: in awe, knowing something special was happening. The angel said, 350 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 3: don't be amazed. You're looking for Jesus. He's not here. 351 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 3: He has risen. The angel was saying, in effect, you 352 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 3: have good intentions, but you're looking too low. You're looking 353 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 3: from a natural point of view. You need to look up. 354 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 3: What God is going to do in your life is 355 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 3: not going to be ordinary. It's not going to happen 356 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 3: like it happened for your relatives, those that you grew 357 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 3: up with. You're going to stand out. You're going to 358 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 3: break molds. You're going to set new standards where God 359 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 3: has taken you. No one in your family has gone. Now, 360 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 3: don't have a small vision. Don't go around looking low, 361 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 3: thinking you've reached your limits. God is about to do 362 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 3: a new thing, something that you haven't seen. He's going 363 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 3: to open doors you never dream would open, take your 364 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 3: places that you couldn't go on your own. In Acts, 365 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 3: chapter twenty eight, The Apostle, Paul was a prisoner en 366 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 3: route to Rome to stand before Caesar. The boat he 367 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 3: was sailing on encountered a huge storm and broke apart. 368 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 3: He and the crew grabbed pieces of the boat and 369 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 3: swam to the shore. They were on a small island 370 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 3: named Malta. When Paul went to gather wood to build 371 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 3: a fire, a poisonous snake bit his arm. Here, Paul 372 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 3: had just survived to shripwreck justified the odds now. The 373 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 3: first thing that happened was this venomous viper latched to 374 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 3: his arm and released the poison. Paul didn't panic, he 375 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,239 Speaker 3: didn't fall apart. He simply shook the snake off and 376 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 3: went about his business. Well. The local people knew exactly 377 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 3: what was going to happen. They had seen this again 378 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 3: and again. Paul was going to swell up, get sick, 379 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 3: and suddenly die. They thought, too bad, he'll be gone 380 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 3: in a little while. An hour went by, he was fine, 381 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 3: two hours nothing wrong, eight hours still healthy. Verse six 382 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 3: says when they waited a long time and saw that 383 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 3: no harm came to him, they decided Paul was a god. 384 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 3: They weren't far off. He was a son of God. 385 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 3: And yes, there will be times we get bit in life, 386 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 3: bit by sickness, bit by divorce, bit by loss. Things 387 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,719 Speaker 3: happened we didn't see coming. But like with Paul, that 388 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 3: poison is not going to have any effect on you. 389 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 3: You have the anti venom. What stops others is not 390 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 3: going to stop you. The Most High God is pushing 391 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 3: back forces of darkness. He's ordered in your steps, making 392 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 3: crooked places straight. What He's purpose for your life will 393 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 3: come to pass. The scripture says God destroyed the works 394 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 3: of the enemy. That were destroyed in the original language 395 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 3: means to not have its intended purpose. When the snake 396 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 3: bites and releases that venom, its purpose is to take 397 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 3: you out, you should swell up, get sick and die 398 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 3: like everyone else. But because God destroyed the works of 399 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 3: the enemy, it's not going to have its intended purpose. 400 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 3: The sickness came to my mother in nineteen eighty one. 401 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 3: Its purpose was to end her life, but it didn't 402 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 3: have its intended purpose. God has the final say nothing 403 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 3: can snatch you out of his hands. When my father 404 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 3: went to be with the Lord in nineteen ninety nine, 405 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 3: the enemy intended for Lakewood to go down, fade away, 406 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 3: have no more impact, But that loss didn't have its 407 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 3: intended purpose. God had another plan that we would expand, 408 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 3: reach more people, have greater influence. Don't get discouraged when 409 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 3: negative things come. We can't pray away all the difficulties. 410 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 3: But when you realize it's not going to have its 411 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 3: intended purpose, then you can stay in faith. The divorce, 412 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 3: that betrayal, that slow down in the economy should sour 413 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 3: your life, but it's not going to be what it 414 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 3: looks like. People are going to look at you like 415 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 3: they did Paul, and think, how are they thriving when 416 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 3: they should be surviving. How is she so blessed after 417 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 3: going through that rough childhood? How is he still so strong? 418 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 3: Happy successful after that bad break in his business. It's 419 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 3: because what the enemy sent to stop you is not 420 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 3: going to have its intended purpose. When that snake bites, 421 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,040 Speaker 3: don't panic, don't fall apart. Just shake it off and 422 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 3: keep moving forward. Keep thanking God that he's fighting your battles. 423 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 3: Keep thanking him that what was meant for harm, he's 424 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 3: turning to your advantage. I read something interesting about a 425 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 3: honey bee. It's one of the few bees that when 426 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 3: it stems, it leaves its stinger, it just has one steam, 427 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 3: and then it's done. The next time it goes to sting, 428 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 3: there's nothing there. It's like having a gun with one 429 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 3: bullet a boxer with one punch. You better make it count, 430 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 3: because that's your only chance. Two thousand years ago, the 431 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 3: enemy came against Jesus. What he didn't realize is, like 432 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 3: that honey bee, he only had one chance. He did 433 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 3: his best to defeat Jesus. He was crucified on the cross. 434 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 3: Jesus breathed his last breath and died. It looked like 435 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 3: the steam was successful. Satan was rejoicing, thinking he had won. 436 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 3: But on the third day Jesus came out of the grave. 437 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 3: He said he was dead, but I'm alive forevermore, and 438 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 3: I have the keys to death and hell. The good 439 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 3: news is the enemy doesn't have his stinger anymore. He 440 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 3: tried his best, but his best was not enough. That's 441 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 3: why Paul said, O Death, where is your steam, Oh grave, 442 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 3: where is your victory? We can live from a place 443 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 3: of faith knowing that God has removed the stinger from 444 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 3: the enemy. He has rendered him powerless. What he brings 445 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 3: against you is not going to have its intended purpose. 446 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 3: The blood of the Lamb is greater than any poison 447 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 3: that's trying to stop you. Now put your shoulders back, 448 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 3: hold your head up high. The most powerful force in 449 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,239 Speaker 3: the universe is breathing in your direction. Friends, you have 450 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 3: the cure. Now get up every morning, take your medicine, 451 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 3: dwell on what God says about you.

Would you pray with me? 457 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 3: Just say Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come 458 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 3: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 459 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 3: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 460 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 3: born again.
