1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you

00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and

00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: share it with a friend. We appreciate you and pray

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: for God's very best in your life. But God bless you.

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: daily podcast, YouTube channel, social media, and you can come

9
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: visit us in person. We'd love to have you be

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: a part of one of our services. And I let

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: to start with something funny, and I heard about this

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: elderly woman. She came to church one Sunday morning and

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: a friendly usher met her at the back door and

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: asked where she wanted to sit. She said, I want

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: to sit on the very front row. He said, oh, no, ma'am,

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: you don't want to do that. Our pastor is very boring.

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: He'll put you to sleep. Let me seet you somewhere else.

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: She looked appalled. She said, sir, do you know who

19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: I am? He said, no, ma'am. She said, I am

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: the pastor's mother. He hung his head in shame and imbarrassment.

21
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: He finally looked up and said, ma'am, do you know

22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: who I am? She said no. He said, Thank God,

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what

25
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says

26
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my

28
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: heart is recepted. I will never be the same. In

29
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: Jesus's name, God bless you. I want to talk to

30
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: you today about breakthrough is coming. There are times that

31
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: God does things gradually through a process. You stay faithful

32
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: and keep doing the right thing, and you begin to

33
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: see improvement. A door opens, your health gets better. The

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: scripture says God brought the Israelites out little by little.

35
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: That's one way God works. But God also does things

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: suddenly where there's no sign of it. Nothing is improving.

37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: Every thought tells you you're stuff. The obstacle's too big,

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: it's never going to work out. Then God steps in

39
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: and suddenly the door opens. Suddenly your health turns around,

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: Suddenly that right person shows up, Suddenly you come out

41
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: of death. What was that a lucky break? Now that's

42
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: the God of the breakthrough showing out in your life.

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: A breakthrough is a sudden burst of God's favor. It's

44
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: a flood of his goodness that thrusts you ahead before

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: where God is taking you, the dreams he's put in

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: your heart, the giants that will be in your path.

47
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: It's not going to all be gradual and little by

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: little a process that you can see. He has some

49
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: of these breakthrough moments that you can't explain that will

50
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: catapult you into your destiny. Now, don't be discouraged by

51
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: what's not happening. You're doing the right thing and not

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: seeing any improvement. Working hard in your career but the

53
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: doors aren't opening. And praying for your child but he's

54
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: not doing bad her, and you feel this pressure and

55
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: this worry trying to weigh you down. But God knows

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: what's not working out. He sees you being your best

57
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: when things aren't fair. You feel overlooked. You've done all

58
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: you can, but the gine is still there. You haven't

59
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: even budged the obstacle. What you can't see is the

60
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: God of the breakthrough is about to show up. He's

61
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: already scheduled these moments where it's not going to be

62
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: a gradual turnaround, not gonna be little by little. It's

63
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: going to be a flood of his favor, a flood

64
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: of healing, a flood of finance, is a flood of peace.

65
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Instead of being overwhelmed by the problem, you're going to

66
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: be overwhelmed by the goodness of God. He has the

67
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: final say. He has not brought you this far to

68
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: leave you. No matter how long it's been or how

69
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: impossible it looks. You have to know deep down in

70
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: your spirit the God of the Breakthrough is on the way.

71
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: Maybe you're dealing with an illness, nothing's getting better. Stay

72
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: in fame. The God of the Breakthrough is about to

73
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: breathe healing on your life. You're struggling in your finances,

74
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: can't seem to get ahead. The God of the Breakthrough

75
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: is about to shift things to where abundance finds you.

76
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: But that child had family members been off track. The

77
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: more you pray, the worse he gets. Their time is coming.

78
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: The God of the Breakthrough is about to visit them.

79
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: He knows how to suddenly change things. This is what

80
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: happened with David first Chronicles, chapter fourteen. He had just

81
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: been anointed king over all of Israel. This was a

82
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: destiny moment. After years of being of the shepherd's fields, overlooked,

83
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: and being chased by King Saul and all this opposition,

84
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: he was finally stepping into the fullness of what God

85
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: promised him. I'm sure he was so grateful and excited,

86
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: a dream coming to pass. But before he could even celebrate,

87
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: before he could enjoy what God had done, the Philistines

88
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: rose up a against him and were about to attack.

89
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: This wasn't random timing. They didn't want him to take

90
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: this new position. They could have opposed him a year earlier,

91
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 1: but they left him alone. Anytime you're about to step

92
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: into a new level, the enemy will attack. He doesn't

93
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: want you to fulfill your purpose. He's okay if you

94
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: stay where you are, but when you start to move

95
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: forward him take new ground, break out of limitations. Don't

96
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: be surprised if you face resistance. Some of the opposition

97
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: that's coming against you. You don't like it, but have

98
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: a new perspective. That's a sign you're about to step

99
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: into a greater level, greater favor, greater influence, greater opportunity.

100
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: The enemy is not fighting you for where you are.

101
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: He's fighting you for where you're going. He knows you

102
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: were made in the image of Almighty God, that you

103
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: have seeds of greatness, that you're a burier, breaker, a

104
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: history maker. He wouldn't bother you if you weren't a threat,

105
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: if you didn't have something valuable, something to impact this world,

106
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: he'd leave you alone. The Philistines surrounded David in the

107
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: Valley of Rephium, that means the valley of Giants. He

108
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: was outnumbered. The opposition was bigger, stronger, they had more equipment.

109
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: Verse ten says David inquired of the Lord should I

110
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: go fight the Philistines? God, will you give me this victory?

111
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: David didn't just fight because there was opposition. He didn't

112
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: react emotionally. You're not gonna stop me. He asked God

113
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: what to do. He had this dependency on him. He

114
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: was putting God first place, saying, not my will, but

115
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: let your will be done. You're not supposed to fight

116
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: every battle. If you let your emotions rule and you

117
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: get upset, now I won't pay them back. That's not right.

118
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,119
Speaker 1: Then you're doing it all in your own strength. There's

119
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: no grace for it. If you'll start inquiring of the

120
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: Lord God, what do you want me to do God,

121
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: I need your wisdom, your strength, your power. When you

122
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: show your dependency on God, he knows you're relying on him,

123
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: then he'll help you fight those battles. He'll empower you

124
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: to defeat the giants, to break addictions, and to overcome

125
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: what should have stopped you. Verse ten goes on to say,

126
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: the Lord said to David, yes, go ahead and fight,

127
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: for I will give you the victory. David went into

128
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: this battle with the blessing of God on his life.

129
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: When God says you'll be victorious, the opposition doesn't have

130
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: a chance. Nothing can stand against our God. David went

131
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: in with his men. All the odds are against him,

132
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: and they defeated this mighty army. David was so amazed

133
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: at what God had done. He said in the verse eleven,

134
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: God has broken through to my enemies like the bursting

135
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: forth of waters. He named the place bow Parism Boalparism

136
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: means the God of the breakthrough. Daven liken this breakthrough

137
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: to the bursting forth of water. Water is one of

138
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: the most powerful forces. When there's flooding. You hear that phrase,

139
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: turn around, don't drown. It's because water can pick up

140
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 1: a two ton car and carry it away like it's nothing.

141
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: I've seen in a tsunami, water take houses off their

142
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: foundation and they're floating down the river a whole house.

143
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: We've seen when a dam breaks that water washes out roadways, bridges,

144
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: bends the steel, moves anything in its path. David could

145
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: have used the analogy God has broken through like a fire,

146
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: like a hurricane, like a wind. That would have been impressive,

147
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: but he used water to show us how nothing can

148
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: stop it. You may have things that look immovable in

149
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: your life today, a sickness, an addiction, trouble with the child.

150
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: It seems permanent. But when the God of the breakthrough

151
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: shows up, those things don't stand a chance. Like a

152
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: damn breaking, like a flood, God's power will move anything

153
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: in its path. Cancer can't stop it. Injustice can't stop it,

154
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: Depression can't stop it. Jealous people can't stop it, David said,

155
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: like the bursting forth of waters, not going to be

156
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: something gradual, not a trickle, not a stream, not a river,

157
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: but a flood of God's favor, a tidal wave of

158
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: his blessing, a tsunami of his power. When you're tempted

159
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: to get discourage and think your situation could never change.

160
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: Turn it around. Father, I know you're the god of

161
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: the breakthrough, like you did for David. You will burst

162
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: through what's trying to stop me. The bursting forth implies

163
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: something that was held back is suddenly released, like a

164
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: damn bursting or a flood breaking through its barriers. We

165
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: all have these seasons in life where we're doing the

166
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: right thing, but nothing is changing. No good breaks. Our

167
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: health's not improving, the problem is not turning around. We

168
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: feel this pressure. We're attempted to worry if it's ever

169
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: going to change, but that pressure is a sign something

170
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: is happening. When water builds behind the dam, you don't

171
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: see anything on the outside. There's no shaking, no movement,

172
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: no cracks in the concrete, but all this energy and

173
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: all this force is being stored up. The higher the water,

174
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: the more the pressure. Sometimes the dam can get so

175
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: full and have so much pressure they have to open

176
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: the floodgates. There have been times when the dam burst

177
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: and all this water suddenly comes flooding out so much

178
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: force and so much power. The pressure you feel is

179
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: not because God is not working. The silence things not

180
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: improving doesn't mean it's never going to change. The water

181
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: is building up. Things are being stored up that you

182
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: can't see. The pressure is the sign that the dam

183
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: is weakening, that things are shifting, Momentum is building, energy

184
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: is being stored. When it's the right time, it's going

185
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: to be suddenly released like a flood, not a trickle,

186
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: not a couple of good graces, not one problem turned around,

187
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: no light, David. The whole army was wiped out. God

188
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: burst through with favor, with promotion, with power that they

189
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: had never seen. Don't let the pressure fool you. It's

190
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: not a sign that God has forgotten about you, that

191
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: it's never going to work out. It's a sign that

192
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: the water is building up, that God's about to come

193
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: breaking through. Think about Paul and Silas. They were put

194
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: in prison for sharing their faith, and they had been

195
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: beaten and were bruised and bloody, and now they were

196
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: in the dungeon in change, awaiting trial. The next day. Well, Stephen,

197
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: an apostle, had already been killed by the opposition, looked

198
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: like they were next. Imagine the pressure they fell, not

199
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: just physically from their wounds and being injured, but emotionally

200
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: thinking that was it there was no way out. They

201
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: could have been bitter God, why'd this happen? We were

202
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. But in the middle of the

203
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: prison they were singing praises and thanking God. They were

204
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: showing us a key. Turn your pressure into praise, turn

205
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: your worry into worship. Instead of complaining about what didn't

206
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: work out, feeling overwhelmed by what's not changing. Why don't

207
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: you do like them and thank God that he's fighting

208
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: your battles, that nothing can stand against him, that what

209
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: he started he will finish in your life. And they

210
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: felt all this pressure, but they understood it was a

211
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: sign that something was building up, that the water, so

212
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: to speak, was rising and creating momentum, that God was working.

213
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: At midnight while they were singing praises, suddenly there was

214
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: a great earthquake. Prison doors flung open, chains came off

215
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: their feet. They walked out as free men. What happened?

216
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: The dam broke, the water came bursting through. How are

217
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: you handling the pressure in your life? What are you

218
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: saying in the seasons when nothing is changing? It feels

219
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,359
Speaker 1: like God has forgotten about you? Like David, the Philistines,

220
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: have you surrounded? Maybe it's a sickness, the debt, the trouble.

221
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: If you complain, live discouraged, you're gonna miss what God

222
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: has for you. Try a different approach. The pressure is

223
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: a sign the damn is about to break, the water

224
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: is about to burst forth. David felt his greatest pressure,

225
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: his greatest opposition, right before he saw the God of

226
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: the breakthrough show out. You may be under great pressure

227
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: now raising children, dealing with issues it were, struggling in

228
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: your finances. God sees what you're up against. He knows

229
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: how much pressure you can handle it. He wouldn't have

230
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: allowed it if it wasn't going to work for your good.

231
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: And that pressure that feels so strong against you, that's

232
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: an indication of the favor and blessing that's going to

233
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: be unleashed in your life. It is building up like

234
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: the bursting forth of waters. You're going to see the

235
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: goodness of God. It's because you've been like Paul and

236
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: Silas in that midnight hour when it wasn't fair. The

237
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: pressure could have easily overwhelmed you. But you're still singing praises,

238
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: you still have an attitude of faith, you're still coming

239
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: to church and being your best at work. Can I

240
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: encourage you. Your time is coming. The Psalm has put

241
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: it this way. When darkness overtakes, the righteous light will

242
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: come bursting in. This is not a gradual process. This

243
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: is not something that improves a little over time. This

244
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: is talking about the God of the breakthrough. When suddenly

245
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: things shift, Suddenly the problem turns around, Suddenly your business

246
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: takes off, Suddenly you're free from that addiction. Suddenly your

247
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: child comes back home. Get ready for some suddenlyes like

248
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: a damn breaking, God's about to unleash what's been stored up. See,

249
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: you can't reach your destiny just by ordinary means. The

250
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: Philistines were too strong for David. Goliath was too big,

251
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: Saul was too powerful. David's father overlooked him. David felt

252
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: this pressure again and again, and he could have complained,

253
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: thought it's never going to work out. But listen to

254
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: his attitude. He said, Oh, magnify the Lord with me.

255
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: Let us exalt his name together. He was saying, I'm

256
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: not going to magnify my problems. I know I serve

257
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: the God of the breakthrough. I'm gonna magnify him. Another place,

258
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: he wrote, A thousand may fall at my side, ten

259
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: thousand at my right hand, but it won't come near me.

260
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: For the Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom

261
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: shall I fear? He felt the pressure, but he turned

262
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: it into praise. The pressure in your life is not

263
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: there to defeat you. It's there to propel you. You're

264
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: feeling the weight, the worry force is trying to stop you.

265
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: That pressure is a sign something is shifting. Favor is building,

266
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: healing is being stored up, vindication open doors at the

267
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: right time, like the bursting forth of waters, You're going

268
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: to see the goodness of God, something that you could

269
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: have never made happen that propels you into your purpose.

270
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: You may be in a difficult season now you don't

271
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: see how it could ever work out, but don't ever

272
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: rule out the God of the breakthrough. One touch of

273
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: his favor, one good break, one contract, one goliath, you defeat,

274
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: and you're catapulted to a new level. Now I need

275
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: to give you a special weather alert. This is just then.

276
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: You are under a flash flood warning. At any moment,

277
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: you could see a flood of God's favor, a flood

278
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: of healing, a flood of abundance, not a trickle, not

279
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: a little mist here and there, not a light rain.

280
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: We're grateful for all that. We thank God for sustaining us.

281
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: But I'm talking today about something uncommon, unusual that you

282
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: never saw coming. This happens when you're under pressure, When

283
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: thoughts tay us too much, you can't take it. It's

284
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: never going to change. Now. That pressure means the damn

285
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: is about to break. What God has stored up is

286
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: about to come bursting forth like a flood, like a

287
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: tidal wave, like a tsunami. Everything that's in your path

288
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: trying to stop you is going to be washed away.

289
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: His power is greater than anything that comes against you.

290
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: But there's a lot in life that we cannot overcome

291
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: by ourselves. And if we're just trying to do it

292
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: all in our own strengths, our intellect, our connections, our resources,

293
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: we're going to be frustrated because the Philistines will show

294
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: up people bigger and stronger. Could be an illness or

295
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: dysfunction that was passed down troubling the home. These obstacles

296
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: are going to take supernatural power. God has already scheduled

297
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: these breakthrough moments. It's already lined up these times where

298
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: His power will come like the bursting forth of waters.

299
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: While you're waiting feeling that pressure. This is a very

300
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: important time because thoughts will try to get you discouraged worried.

301
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: Now you know the secret. The pressure is a sign

302
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: that the water is rising, the momentum is building, things

303
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: are shifting that you can't see. At the right time,

304
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: you're going to see God show out in your life. Well,

305
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: David was so amazed at what God had done and

306
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: so grateful that they had defeated the Philistines. The scripture

307
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: says he named the place bow Parism the God of

308
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: the Breakthrough. Every time David and his men would come

309
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: by that city, they'd say, remember that place, that's where

310
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: the God of the Breakthrough showed up. Even generations later,

311
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: when David's grandchildren great grandchildren would pass by, they'd say, oh, yeah,

312
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: we remember this place. Granddaddy told us about the God

313
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: of the Breakthrough, how he helped them defeat an army

314
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: twice that size. Every one of us should have some

315
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: bowel Parisms where we can look back and say, that's

316
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: where the God of the Breakthrough showed out in my life.

317
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: That's where God killed me, That's where he protected me,

318
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: that's where he opened the door. I couldn't open. That's

319
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: where he turned my child around. Every time I drive

320
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: up to this building, I realized all parism. When all

321
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: the odds were against us, the experts said we didn't

322
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 1: have a chance, But the God of the breakthrough stepped

323
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: him like a flood. He moved the wrong people out

324
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: of the way, and he made a path where we

325
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: didn't see a path. Here we are now, Lakewood, sixty

326
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: seven years old today on Mother's Day. I remember when

327
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: we were trying to acquire this building. I felt all

328
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: this pressure, and I'm sure my team did too. But

329
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: the other side had more finances, more resources, more connections.

330
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: There were nights I couldn't really sleep. I tried, but

331
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 1: thoughts whispered, you're wasting your time, Joel. The night before

332
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: the main city council vote, we were one vote Shine.

333
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: We'd worked a year and a half, and one of

334
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: the council members that was for us decided to be

335
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: out of town, and that meant we wouldn't have enough votes.

336
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: But people cannot stop what God has purposed for your life.

337
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: What He has intended for you is not going to

338
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: go to someone else. That will be these times where

339
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: it's out of your control. You've done all you can.

340
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: We did our best. We were trd prayed and believed,

341
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: but we were still lacking one vote. But the night

342
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: before the main vote, the God of the breakthrough showed up.

343
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: A lady I had never met, called a council member

344
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: that had been against us the whole time. Her call

345
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: changed the council member's mind, and he voted for us.

346
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: We got the building. What I couldn't do in a

347
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: year and a half of trying to persuade him, she

348
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: did in a five minute phone call. What was that?

349
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: A flood of God's favor? All that pressure I felt,

350
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: It was like water building behind a dam about to

351
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: break at the right time. What God has for you

352
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: is going to come bursting forth. Now. I know you've

353
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: seen his goodness in the past, but you haven't seen

354
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: anything yet. He has some new bowel parisms in store

355
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: for you. I think about my mother. She lived forty

356
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: four years after she was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer.

357
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: She was a vow parism every time we saw her.

358
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: That's the God of the Breakthrough. In my early twenties,

359
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: I was driving on the freeway and it was raining

360
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: really bad, and when I went to change lanes. I

361
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: lost control of my car and I hit the guardrail

362
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 1: in the middle and started spinning back across five lanes

363
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: of traffic. At one point I looked up and I

364
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: could see the front grill of this eighteen wheeler. I

365
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: was facing the wrong direction. It was like ten feet

366
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: in front of me. I felt like I could touch it.

367
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: I braced myself. All I had time to say was Jesus.

368
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can't pray long, but when you call them

369
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: the name of Jesus, angels go to work. Forces of

370
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: darkness were pushed back. The next thing I knew, I

371
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: was over on the shoulder part kind of in a

372
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: daze with the driver of the eighteen wheeler he pulled over.

373
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: He came up to my car. I'll never forget, he said, boy,

374
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: you must be living right, because right when I was

375
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: about to hit you, this big burst of wind blew

376
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: my truck into another lane, and somehow I missed you.

377
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: That's the God of the breakthrough. I named that place Bowparism.

378
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: Every time I drive by, I can say, look what

379
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: the Lord has done. When my father was a young minister,

380
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 1: he would drive to different cities to preach, and he

381
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: took his own sound equipment with him and one place.

382
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: He showed up and went and looked at the venue,

383
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: this little county auditorium, and met with a few men

384
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: that had asked him to come. He went back to

385
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: his car to get the sound system out of his trunk,

386
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: but somehow the trunk closed with his keys in it.

387
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: They started jiggling the trunk and trying to open it.

388
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: They got some cold hangers and tried with no success.

389
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: There's about a dozen people gathered around, everybody trying to help,

390
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: and for about thirty minutes of doing everything they could,

391
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: my father said, I'm gonna pray and ask God to

392
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: open this trunk. They looked at him like he is

393
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: from another planet, but my father would pray about anything.

394
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: He believed in the God of the breakthrough. He said, Lord, God,

395
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: you know I need this equipment, and I know there's

396
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: nothing too hard for you, So I'm asking you to

397
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: open this trunk for me. Those other men were snickering

398
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: and laughing, kind of making fun. They thought he was

399
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: far out. He tried it and pulled it again, finagled it.

400
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: Still nothing. They all turned around and started to walk inside,

401
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: and we're going to come up with another plan. When

402
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: they heard something click. They looked back and saw the

403
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: trunk all on its own accord. It began to open up.

404
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: My father said, it went real slow, like it was

405
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: saying Halujah. Those other men said to my dad, will

406
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: you pray for me next? But what was that? The

407
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: God of the breakthrough suddenly things shift. You couldn't make

408
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: it happen. You did all you could. That's when God

409
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: will step in and do what you can. Isaiah said,

410
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: when the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit

411
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: of God will raise up a barrier. The comma is

412
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: placed after the word flood, making the emphasis on the

413
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: enemy coming like a flood, but in the original Hebrew

414
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: language there were no commas. Many scholars believe the comma

415
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: was put in the wrong place. It should read when

416
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: the enemy comes in comma like a flood, the spirit

417
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: of God will rise up. The emphasis should have been

418
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: on God's power and not the enemy's power. When Isaiah

419
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: wrote this, the people were facing injustice, oppressions, armies attacking.

420
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: Isaiah was saying, in effect, don't let the pressure fool you.

421
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: A flood of God's favor is coming. You may have

422
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: things trying to stop you. Now you don't see anything changing.

423
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: You have to remember you're under a flash flood warning.

424
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,479
Speaker 1: Any moment, the God of the breakthrough could show up

425
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: in your life suddenly, like the bursting forth the waters.

426
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: Now turn that pressure into praise. Keep thanking God that

427
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: he's working all through the day. Live breakthrough minded. God,

428
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: you did it for David. I know you'll do it

429
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: for me. If you'll do this, I believe and declare

430
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: breakthrough is coming in your life. You're about to see

431
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: a flood of God's healing, promotion, freedom that will catapult

432
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: you into new levels of your purpose in Jesus' name,

433
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: And if you receive it, can you say amen? I'd

434
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the

435
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: Lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

436
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I

437
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: make you my Lord and save you. If you prayed

438
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: that simple prayer, we believe you got born again. We'd

439
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: love to send you some free information on your new

440
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: walk with the Lord. You can text the number on

441
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: the screen or go to the website. But I hope

442
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: you'll get into a good Bible based church and keep

443
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: God first. Place.

444
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 2: Every day we can live discouraged, angry, depressed, defeated. Is

445
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: it possible to turn these negatives into an outlook filled

446
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 2: with purpose, happiness and joy.

447
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: Every day we make choices, how we see ourselves, how

448
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: we respond to challenges, how we approach what's in front

449
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: of us. I've written a devotional called Today, I Choose

450
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: Devotions for a Better Line. It's designed to help you

451
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: make those choices on purpose, to choose faith over fear,

452
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: peace over frustration, and kindness over offense. Each day is

453
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: filled with scripture and practical encouragement to help you live

454
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: with confidence and victory. You can't wait to see what

455
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: kind of day it's going to be. You have to

456
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: decide ahead of time. When you do, you can step

457
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: into a more blessed, fulfilled life.

458
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,360
