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

36
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 4: this podcast. I believe God has got amazing things in

37
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 4: your future. I hope you enjoy this message. I believe

38
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: that God wants every one of us to be a superhero. See.

39
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 4: God wants us to be fearless and courageous. He wants

40
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 4: us to be like the ones you see in the movies.

41
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: You know how they are about like the time the

42
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 4: enemy gets a hold of them, they fall down. He's

43
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 4: got them in the gridlock. That superhero turns around and

44
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 4: swirls around and before you know it, he's defeating the enemy,

45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 4: or he comes out of nowhere. You know, you don't

46
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 4: know what happened to him. He comes out of nowhere

47
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 4: and shows up strong on the scene. You see, he

48
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 4: may fall, but he shows up strong. And I believe

49
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 4: that God wants us to show up strong. He wants

50
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 4: us to show up strong, not only for ourselves, but

51
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 4: for other people. He wants us to be a superhero.

52
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 4: And as we were singing together, that's how we're gonna

53
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 4: become this superhero powerhouse for Almighty God. It's only gonna

54
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: come when we do it together. You see, we're not

55
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: islands among ourselves. We were not intended to be alone.

56
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 4: When God created man, he said, you need a helpmate.

57
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 4: You need someone who's gonna link arms with you. You

58
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 4: need someone that can help you move forward, perpetuate my kingdom.

59
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 4: You see, we were never designed to be alone. The

60
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 4: scripture says that two are better than one because when

61
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 4: one falls, the others there to pick him up. You see,

62
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 4: we are going to defeat the enemy. We are going

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 4: to move forward when we're linked arms doing it together.

64
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 4: In Hebrews three point thirteen, listen to what it says.

65
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: It says to encourage one another daily. Now that sounds great,

66
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: doesn't it. Boy? You look good today. Oh I like

67
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 4: that presentation at work. Well, you're so pretty. We should

68
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: do that, shouldn't we. We should encourage each other daily.

69
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 4: That's what God says, encourage each other daily. You know,

70
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: God formed us in our mother's womb. He made us,

71
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 4: and he knows how we operate. You see, we have

72
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 4: instructions on how to operate to our highest potential and performance,

73
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: and we can find them in the word of God.

74
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: So he says, encourage each other daily. Now listen to

75
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 4: the rest of that verse, because this is the weighty

76
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 4: and meaty part of the verse. You see. If you

77
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: just encourage, that's great. You'll do it if you want to.

78
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 4: If you think about maybe I should go over and

79
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: see my grandmother today, but I really don't have time.

80
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: I've got a lot of things to do. We don't

81
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: take encouragement as seriously. But listen to this part. This

82
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 4: is what God was saying would happen when we stand together,

83
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 4: link arms and encourage each other daily. It's said to

84
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 4: encourage each other daily, so the deceitfulness of sin doesn't

85
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 4: harden our hearts. There's a weighty promise right there. When

86
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 4: we stand together. Guess what we stand opposing the enemy's deceit.

87
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 4: He wants to to deceive us. He wants us isolated.

88
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 4: He doesn't want us to have the support that we

89
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 4: were designed to have.

90
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 5: See.

91
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: God says, if you will encourage, you will be encouraged.

92
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: If you will encourage, you can stand against the enemy

93
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 4: for someone else. See, sometimes when you need encouragement, it's

94
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 4: hard to stand against the enemy. When you're discouraged, it's

95
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 4: hard to stand against the enemy. I've seen people get

96
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 4: so discouraged, so down, so defeated, they couldn't even think straight.

97
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 4: You know, when you're discouraged and down and defeated, that

98
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 4: is the time that the enemy wants to come in

99
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 4: and have a heyday in your mind. He wants to

100
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 4: tell you that you're not good enough, that you can't

101
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 4: do it, that you'll never get well. You guys will

102
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 4: quit trying. You see, when you're down and discouraged, that's

103
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 4: when the enemy can come in. But when you have

104
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 4: people around you that are willing to take this script

105
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 4: seriously and say I'm not gonna let them get down

106
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 4: because I have the power to stand against the enemy

107
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 4: for them. You See, isn't it interesting that God said

108
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 4: our encouragement. Our encouragement can stand against the enemy. Christian

109
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: Covington was here earlier in the eight thirty service. I

110
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 4: looked over at him, and he's huge. He places for

111
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 4: the Texans. Do y'all know Christian Covington, all right? Well,

112
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 4: he's huge, And I thought, well, that's what we look

113
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 4: like on the inside. Big, kind of like John Boy here,

114
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 4: John Gray Boy, big and strong. That's what we look

115
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 4: like on the inside. I was thinking about how when

116
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 4: Christian Covington and his team they play on the defense.

117
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 4: Don't ask me positions. I just know they play on

118
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 4: the defense. I also know that the defensive line is

119
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 4: there to stand together so that the other team, the opponent,

120
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: can score on their team. I do know that much

121
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 4: about football. You would be proud of me. But the

122
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 4: way they do it is they stand together. They know

123
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 4: each other is right there, and they're not gonna let

124
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 4: their opponents score. Do you know when we stand together

125
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 4: locked arms, we don't let the enemy score on each other.

126
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: He cannot score.

127
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 5: See.

128
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: Encouragement means to impart courage. It means to make fearless,

129
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 4: make brave, impart courage. That's what God is saying in

130
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 4: part courage to one another, because see, the enemy wants

131
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 4: to discourage, He wants to take our courage. He wants

132
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 4: to subtract from what God is doing in our life. See,

133
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 4: we have to stand together. We have to be superheroes.

134
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: When I look at Hebrews three thirteen in this light,

135
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 4: I feel like wonder Woman. I think, you know what,

136
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 4: every time I encourage somebody, I am slashing at the enemy.

137
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 4: I am kicking him, I'm defeating him, I'm pushing him back.

138
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 4: You ever see, wonder Woman, You can be Clark Kent

139
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 4: if you're a guy, stip in in the phone booth

140
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 4: and come out Superman. But that's the truth. I really

141
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 4: believe that. I believe if we understand the power of encouragement,

142
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 4: we're going to be empowered to encourage. Listen, encourage your family,

143
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: Encourage your children, Encourage that coworker, Encourage your boss. Hey,

144
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 4: encouragement doesn't mean they're being you encourage them because they're

145
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 4: being nice to you. You encourage them because God is

146
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: impressing on you that if you'll do that, you can

147
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 4: stand on that defensive line. And I really believe when

148
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 4: he says encouraging one another daily, that that means there's

149
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 4: a great exchange that takes place. See, if every one

150
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 4: of us would encourage someone daily, what would this world

151
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 4: look like? How strong would we really be? See, we

152
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 4: can think a lot of things, We can think a

153
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: lot of encouragement. We can think about doing a lot

154
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 4: of things. But it's not until we stand strong and

155
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 4: take action and begin to impart courage to each other

156
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 4: that things will change. You. See, you can't do anything

157
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 4: about someone's situation. Was talking to a staff member the

158
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 4: other day. Hurricane Harvey, five feet of water in her

159
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: home came rushing in. Her family had to leave, her

160
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: family or children. They had to leave immediately. She left

161
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 4: with nothing. When they got themselves settled into a place

162
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 4: of dry ground and the reality started settling in that

163
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 4: they had just lost all their material possessions in their home, everything,

164
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 4: she was devastated. She said, I was so discouraged. I

165
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 4: was so overwhelmed. I felt numb, and I couldn't even move.

166
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 4: My husband, being the head of the house, couldn't believe

167
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 4: that he had just lost everything, and how was he

168
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 4: going to rebuild his family's life. He looked at her

169
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 4: and he said, we got to get out of the state.

170
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 4: We have got to get out of this situation in

171
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 4: our mind, this atmosphere of defeat. Let's go to the

172
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 4: church and help out. We were people volunteers all over

173
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: the place, distributing, doing what they could do. She said,

174
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: I simply sat there thinking, I can't. I don't even

175
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: know what to think. I have no makeup, I have

176
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 4: not even a hair tie to tie my hair back with.

177
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 4: I don't want to go. Then she began to put

178
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 4: a smile on her face and said, about that time,

179
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 4: a friend of mine showed up, showed up with a

180
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 4: bag full of makeup. She said, not only did God

181
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 4: tell her the color foundation that I wore, she brought

182
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 4: all the extras, the Msscara, the blush, and the lip gloss. See,

183
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 4: that's something that only a woman can appreciate. You See,

184
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 4: her friend that day was standing in the defensive line

185
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 4: for her. See her friend that day allowed God to

186
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 4: breathe life back into her soul. She was discouraged, she

187
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 4: was overwhelmed, but that friend used the power of encouragement

188
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 4: to get her one step closer to her victory, one

189
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 4: step closer to her victory, she said. She put that

190
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 4: makeup on, went to her husband and said, I'm ready

191
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 4: than ever to go. I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

192
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 4: He went to the church and began to help other people.

193
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 4: I saw her yesterday. If you looked at her, you

194
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 4: wouldn't know that what she had been through. You wouldn't

195
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 4: know that she was fighting the good fight of fate

196
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 4: because she said, every day God said, someone show up

197
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: to bring me courage and encourage my heart. You see,

198
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 4: the enemy wanted to defeat her. He wanted to get

199
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 4: her thinking going in the wrong direction. Because see, if

200
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 4: he can get your thinking going in the wrong direction,

201
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: he can get your life going in the wrong direction.

202
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: And that's what discouragement does. It gets your life going

203
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 4: in the wrong direction. Hey, as far as it's up

204
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 4: to us, we can't let those around us see discouragement

205
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 4: or be discouraged. Because we're the Church of the Living God.

206
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 4: We are the superheroes for God Almighty. You see, we

207
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 4: we could not do a thing about her five foot

208
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 4: of water in her home, right, I mean, we couldn't

209
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 4: change that city situation. I heard it said like this,

210
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 4: it's not what happens to you, it's what happens in

211
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 4: you that makes the difference. And because she had a

212
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 4: friend that day encourage her and in part courage. The

213
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 4: thing that the enemy wanted to do did not happen

214
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 4: in her. It didn't happen in her. You see, her

215
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: friend gave her that courage to keep her heart so soft,

216
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: to believe that God had possibilities, that it could be

217
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 4: better than ever, that she could get up again and

218
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 4: move forward. That's what encouragement does to us. The Israelites

219
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 4: in Exodus six, it says they were too discouraged to believe.

220
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 4: They couldn't even hear the words of Moses when God

221
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 4: was trying to tell them what he wanted to do

222
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 4: for them. Because they were so deep and buried under discouragement,

223
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 4: they could not even hear about the God of the impossible.

224
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 4: Don't allow anyone around you to be discouraged, because we

225
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 4: are here to tell people about the God of the possible.

226
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 4: They don't have to lose hope, because we serve the

227
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 4: God that can do anything, if we will stay encouraged

228
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 4: and continue to impart courage. I truly believe that that

229
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 4: exchange works two ways. We will also be encouraged. When

230
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 4: you encourage, you'll be encouraged. When you're encouraged, you'll be

231
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 4: strengthened to encourage yourself. Do you know there's studies that

232
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 4: say when you encourage people, when you help someone, that

233
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 4: it is an emotional high that literally releases dopamine in

234
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 4: your brain and makes you happy. You see, it empowers you.

235
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 4: And when you're empowered with this emotion of happiness, then

236
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 4: you can go and help other people. When you're empowered

237
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 4: with emotion of happiness, you can help yourself. Because see,

238
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 4: I truly believe there will be days that we have

239
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 4: to encourage ourself, just like David. But God wants us

240
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 4: to get good at encouraging others and encouraging ourselves because

241
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 4: those days that we can't, He'll provide, just like my friend.

242
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes encouragement is just simply showing up with

243
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 4: a broom and a mop or a bag of makeup.

244
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 4: You see, we need to encourage not only with our words,

245
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 4: but with our actions. Ask God, give me somebody every day,

246
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 4: God that I can have a exchange with, that I

247
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 4: can encourage in a meaningful and profound way. If we

248
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: will all ask God to get us that one person.

249
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 4: Put that one person on our heart, whether it's your child,

250
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 4: your husband, your friend, your co worker, your boss. I

251
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 4: believe that God will do things in our life that

252
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 4: we can't even ask, think or imagine. Amen, let's push

253
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: back darkness with our encouragement.

Speaker 5: for their mental health struggles. Unfortunately, the church has largely

272
