1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joelan Victoria.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: the ministry. If you enjoy today's message, why don't you

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 2: be a blessing and share it with a friend. We

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: God bless you.

7
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 3: It's great to be with you today.

8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: We're in our nation's capital, Washington, d C. We're here

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: at National's Park. Let me tell you, these are the

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: finest people in all of DC right here with me

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: in the stadium tonight, having a great time.

12
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 3: America is not of hope. Thank you so.

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: Much for tuning in and thank you again for coming out.

14
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you tonight about how God's

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: destiny for your life will come to pass. We don't

16
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: realize how much God is in control. Every aspect of

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: our life, down to the smallest details, has already been

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: planned out. God lined up the right people to come

19
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: across your path. He arranged the right breaks to be

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: in your future. He already has solutions to every problem

21
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: that you will ever face. God is in complete control

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: orchestrating it all. The scripture says, the Lord of Host

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: has purposed who will annull it. This is saying God

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: has a purpose for your life. He's already planned out

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 2: your days. Then it asked the question, who will annul it?

26
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: God is saying, who can stop my plan?

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: Who is more.

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: Powerful than me?

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: I created the whole universe, I flung these stars into space. Now,

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: who can make a mistake so big that I can't

31
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: forgive it? Who can have a problem so large that

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: I can't solve it? Who can have a dream so

33
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: great that I can't bring it to pass? Friends, God's

34
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: plan cannot be stopped by a bad break, by sickness,

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: by somebody walking out on you. So all the forces

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: of darkness cannot keep you from your destiny. But sometimes

37
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: we think, because we have made mistakes and we're not

38
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: where we want to be in life, surely we must

39
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: have stopped God's plan. I say disrespectfully, You're not that powerful.

40
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: You may have made mistakes, but it wasn't a surprise

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: to God. He already has the mercy. Why don't you

42
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: shake off the guilt and move forward. Nothing that you've

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: done or haven't done, has canceled your destiny.

44
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: Had a lady write me a few years ago.

45
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: She had been in an automobile accident where she had

46
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: broken her neck. For months after the surgery, her husband

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 2: had stayed home to help take care of her, and

48
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: she felt badly that he had missed so much work,

49
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: and she finally convinced him that she was okay to

50
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: stay alone by herself.

51
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: He reluctantly agreed to go back to work.

52
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: One day, she was so depressed and she was in

53
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: so much pain that she decided to end her life.

54
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: There was a gun rack over in the corner. Her

55
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: husband was a big hunter. She couldn't walk over there

56
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: by herself. She was going to crawl, but when she

57
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: got out of the chair, she lost her balance, knocked

58
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: over the end table, and fell flat on her back.

59
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: She couldn't move.

60
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: The remote control for the television hit the floor and

61
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: the batteries came out. When it did, it changed the

62
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 2: channel on the television, and it just so happened to

63
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: flip to a station where I was ministering. Her first

64
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: thought was, Oh great, I'm dying now. I've got to

65
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: listen to this TV preacher to add to my misery.

66
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: That day, I was talking about how God can turn

67
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: any situation around, how he can take your darkest hour

68
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: and turn it into your brightest hour. She began to

69
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: feel a peace like she'd never felt before. She said,

70
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: I couldn't move my body, I couldn't open my eyes,

71
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: but I could feel tear years of joy running down

72
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: my cheeks.

73
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: That moment was a turning point.

74
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: Today, several years later, she's happy, healthy, haul on the

75
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: way to fulfilling her destiny.

76
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: What am I saying?

77
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: You are not powerful enough to stop God's plan. All

78
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: of your days have already been recorded.

79
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: They'd been numbered by the creator of the universe.

80
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: If it's not your time to go, You're not going

81
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: to go. God has the final say. There was an

82
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: article in the newspaper last week. This police officer was

83
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: attacked by men high on drugs. This man stabbed the

84
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: officer in the head. The three and a half inch

85
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 2: knife blade went straight into his brain. He was rushed

86
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: to the hospital. His family was told that he was

87
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: most likely brain dead and even if he did live,

88
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: he would never be able to walk or to talk.

89
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: The neurosurgeon had all the X rays done.

90
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: When they came back, he was amazed the knife blade

91
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: missed the part of the brain that controls motor skills

92
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: by less than a millimeter.

93
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: It missed the.

94
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: Part of the brain that controls speech by less than

95
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 2: a millimeter. It missed the main nerve that gives sensation

96
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: by less than a millimeter.

97
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: It missed the main artery.

98
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: That supplies blood to the brain by less than a millimeter.

99
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: The surgeon said, it is unbelievable. The only way I

100
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: can describe it is he was less than a millimeter

101
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 2: away from death in every direction. A fraction this way

102
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: he'd be dead, a fraction this way, totally incapacitated. Friends,

103
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: Nothing can snatch you out of God's hand. An accident

104
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: cannot stop God's plan. A crazy person cannot stop God's plan.

105
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: God is in complete control of your.

106
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 3: Life right now.

107
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 2: God is working behind the scenes, arranging things in your favor.

108
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 3: He's making a way where you don't see, a way.

109
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: You don't have to live.

110
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: Wor worried, stressed out, trying to force everything to happen.

111
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: All you've got to do is keep God first place,

112
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: honor Him with your life, and you will come into

113
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: these destiny moments where you see God supernaturally protecting you.

114
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: You know, if it had.

115
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: Not been for his angels, you wouldn't be alive. Destiny

116
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 2: moments where you're at the right place, you meet the

117
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: right person that leads to a promotion That wasn't a coincidence,

118
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: that was the favor of God moving you towards your

119
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: divine destiny. Or maybe in your health, like my mother,

120
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: you were told that you're never going.

121
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: To get better.

122
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: One day you go back to the doctor and they say,

123
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: we don't understand it. It's starting to turn around. That's

124
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 2: not a lucky break. That's Almighty God saying I've got

125
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: a destiny for you to fulfill.

126
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 3: My plan will come to pass.

127
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: Now you may not see how this can happen, but

128
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: that's okay. God has a thigh thousand ways to do

129
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: it that you've never thought of. Just like God can

130
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: direct that knife blade to be so precise that it's

131
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: a fraction away from everything that matters, God is directing

132
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: your steps down to the smallest details. He can make

133
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: things happen that you could never make happen on your own.

134
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: He is for you, He.

135
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: Is on your side, and what He has purposed for

136
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: your life will come to pass. My father was ordained

137
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: as a Baptist minister, but back in the nineteen fifties

138
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: he felt like what God had put in in his

139
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: heart was bigger.

140
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: Than any one denomination.

141
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: He took a step of faith and he left the

142
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: Baptist church where he was pastoring. He started his own

143
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: independent church, but he didn't have the courage to take

144
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: the name Baptist off. He called it Lakewood Baptist Church,

145
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: and every time he thought about dropping the word Baptist,

146
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: he would get cold feet, and he wouldn't do it.

147
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 3: That's all he did known his whole life.

148
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: The sign in front of the church was made up

149
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: of three separate boards stacked on top of each other

150
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: Lakewood the top board separate, the middle board Baptist, and

151
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: the bottom board Church. One day, a big storm came

152
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: through and the wind blew the name Baptist off. My

153
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: father took that as a sign from God. From that

154
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: day forward, we've been known as Lakewood Church.

155
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: What am I saying?

156
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: Even when you don't have the courage to do what

157
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: you know you're supposed to do, God won't leave you

158
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 2: there and say too bad, you should have more faith. No,

159
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 2: God will push you into your divine destiny. God knows

160
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: how to get you to where you're supposed to be.

161
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: I like what my friend Joyce Meyer says.

162
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: She told someone, I've been walking with God for twenty years.

163
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: She heard the Holy Spirit say on the inside, excuse me,

164
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: you've been walking with me for two years. I've been

165
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 2: dragging you the other eighteen. But God is so good,

166
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 2: so loving, so forgiving. Even if he has to drag us,

167
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: He'll still get us to our destiny. We don't have

168
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: to live down on ourselves because we don't think we

169
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: have enough faith.

170
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: We don't have to go around stressed.

171
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: Out because it's not happening on our timetable. We can

172
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: stay in peace knowing that our God, the creator of

173
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: the universe, is in complete control. God knew when we

174
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: wouldn't have the faith. He knew when we'd need a push,

175
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 2: Just like with my father, He's already got your destiny

176
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: moments lined up where you will see his hand of.

177
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: Favor, You'll connect to the right person.

178
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 2: A problem you've had for years suddenly turns around, an

179
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: opportunity of a lifetime suddenly is in front of you.

180
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: Those are destiny moments that God already has in your future.

181
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: I read about a young lady that was going to

182
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: meet her fiance's parents for the first time.

183
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: They were known to.

184
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 2: Be very picky and not easily impressed, and she was

185
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: kind of nervous about it. As she was leaving the house,

186
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: she knocked over a coca cola and it spilled on

187
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: the floor, and it splashed up on her shoes, on

188
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: her pant legs, and she was standing in the middle

189
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 2: of it.

190
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 3: She got some napkins and cleaned it up.

191
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: She went on her way, and as she got to

192
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: her fiance's parents' home, she met them, and they were

193
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: very nice.

194
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: The whole time.

195
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: Their little dog that they had had for many years

196
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: was at this young lady's feet, following her all through

197
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: the house, would not leave her side. When she stopped,

198
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: the little dog stopped where she sat. The dog sat

199
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,479
Speaker 2: right at her feet for two hours.

200
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 3: This dog was her best friend.

201
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: As she was leaving, the mother said, we've had a

202
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: lot of guests in our home, but our little dog

203
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: has never taken to anyone like she's taken to you.

204
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: She usually barks and is at a distance. But there

205
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: must be something really special about you. What she didn't

206
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: realize is that little dog like the smell of coca

207
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: cola on her shoes. Friends, God works in mysterious ways.

208
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 2: He knows how to get people to like you. He

209
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: knows what it's going to take to push them over

210
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: to your side. Why don't you trust him? Why don't

211
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: you believe that in your future are these destiny moments.

212
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: You may not be able to make it happen, but

213
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: God knows how to make it happen. If God has

214
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: to use Coca Cola to have a dog follow you around,

215
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: he will. If God has to use the wind to

216
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: blow the name off of your sign to get you

217
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: into the fullness of his destiny, he will. If God

218
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: has to cause the remote control to get stuck on

219
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: just the right station, he will.

220
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 3: He's God, He's in complete control.

221
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: But sometimes we get all worked up trying to make

222
00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 2: things happen. We're discouraged because somebody won't be our friend.

223
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: We're working over time trying to convince them to like us. Now,

224
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 2: if somebody doesn't like you, don't take it personally. Doesn't

225
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: mean that they're a bad person. They're just not a

226
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: part of your destiny.

227
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: If you'll keep.

228
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: Moving forward, you will come into the people God has

229
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: ordained for you. God has divine connections in your future.

230
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: People that will celebrate you, people that will want to

231
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: be your friend, people that will even go out of

232
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: their way to be good to you. There was a

233
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: lady driving to work one morning and she got pulled

234
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 2: over by a police officer for not coming to a

235
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 2: complete stop at the stop sign. The officer asked if

236
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: there was any reason she was in such a hurry.

237
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: She said, no, officer, I'm just going to work. I

238
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: teach third grade at the elementary school around the corner.

239
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: He wrote her a ticket. She drove off so disappointed.

240
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: She was mad at herself. She didn't have the extra

241
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: money now. It was going to make her budget tight.

242
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: But a couple of minutes later, she got pulled over

243
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: again by the same officer. He came up to the

244
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: window and said, give me the ticket back. He took

245
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 2: it and tore it into pieces. He said, when I

246
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: was in third grade, I was mean to my teacher.

247
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 3: I want to be nice to you to try to

248
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: make up for it.

249
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: God has it all lined up, big ways, sparing your

250
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 2: life from that knife blade, small ways, causing you to

251
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: find a police officer that's remorseful.

252
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 3: God's in complete control.

253
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: I want you to have this confidence that you're not

254
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 2: just randomly going through life hoping everything works out. No,

255
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: God is strategically orchestrating your steps. You are not here

256
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 2: by accident. You didn't just happen to show up in

257
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: the year twenty twelve. God handpicked you. You've been chosen

258
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 2: by the creator of the universe. God not only ordained

259
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: for you to be here, He has a specific plan

260
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: for your life, something for you to accomplish. You haven't

261
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 2: made too many mistakes, you haven't missed too many opportunities.

262
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 3: If you will keep moving forward, you.

263
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: Will come into your destiny moments where you see God's

264
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: hand to favor. That's him bringing about his purpose in

265
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: your life. If you're going to live in victory, you've

266
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: got to.

267
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 3: Get this down on the inside.

268
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: Really, all through the day, in the back of our mind,

269
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: this should be playing. I'm a person of destiny. God

270
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: breathed his life into me. His favor surrounds me like

271
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: a shield. No weapon formed against me will prosper. What

272
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: God started in my life.

273
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: He will finish.

274
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: I will become everything He's created me to be. I

275
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: met a young man a few years back. He came

276
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: from a very dysfunctional family, and he was extremely troubled

277
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: by it all. They were into drugs. All he had

278
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: seen growing up was anger and people stabbing each other

279
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: in the back and addictions. His parents never encouraged him.

280
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: They did just the opposite.

281
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: They were always belittling him, telling him how he was

282
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: never going to amount to anything. He made an interesting statement,

283
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: he said, Joel, it doesn't seem fair that I was

284
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: born into this family. It's almost like they have cursed

285
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: my future. Now, how you were raised doesn't have to

286
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: stop your destiny. People may have done you wrong. You

287
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: may have heard things growing up that you should have

288
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: never heard.

289
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 3: But know this, Before.

290
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: Anyone could put a curse on you, God put a

291
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: blessing on you. The good news is the blessing always

292
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: overrides the curse.

293
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what people have said about you. It

294
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: matters what God said about you.

295
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: When God created you, he stepped back and said that

296
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: was good. Another masterpiece. Take this in the right way.

297
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: You didn't come from your parents. You came through your parents.

298
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: You came from Almighty God. He is the giver of

299
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: all life. Just because you were raised in a negative environment,

300
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: or maybe you're around people now that are just stuck

301
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: in mediocrity, you don't have.

302
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 3: To stay there. That is not who you are.

303
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: Shake off every negative comment people have spoken.

304
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 3: Over you, and reprogram your thinking.

305
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: I am not who people say I am.

306
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: I am who God says I am.

307
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: I am valuable, I am talented, I am a masterpiece.

308
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: I am blessed, and I cannot be cursed.

309
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: One time in the Old Testament, the king of Moab

310
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: sent word to Balem to come to their city so.

311
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 3: He would curse the people of Israel.

312
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: They said, Baalim, we know what you ask God to do,

313
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,359
Speaker 2: he will do, and if you will come curse.

314
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: These people for us, we'll pay you a lot of money.

315
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: Baalim said, we'll stay overnight and let me pray about it.

316
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: But I will only say what the Lord instructs me

317
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: to say. Balem prayed about it, and the Lord said, Balim,

318
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: there's no use you going with them. What I have blessed,

319
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: no man can curse. Notice when God puts the blessing

320
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: on you, doesn't matter what people say, does it matter

321
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: how somebody treats you. All that matters is Almighty God

322
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 2: has blessed you, and everything else as of no effect.

323
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 3: They begged him.

324
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: And begged him to come, and Balem finally went.

325
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: He told the king. Here's what the Lord says.

326
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 2: They will succeed and become a great nation and have

327
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: descendants too numerous to count.

328
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 3: The king said, Balem, what are you doing.

329
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 2: I brought you here to curse them, but instead you're

330
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 2: blessing them. He said it again, I cannot curse what

331
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: God is already blessed.

332
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: Get that down in your spirit. When God created you,

333
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 3: he breathed.

334
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: His blessing into you. You have the dna of Almighty God.

335
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 2: Royal blood is flowing through your veins. You are wearing

336
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: God's crown of favor like this king. And people try

337
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 2: to do you wrong, or maybe you go through some disappointments,

338
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: it's easy to let that cloud your future. Have a

339
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: new perspective. What God is blessed, no person can curse.

340
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: Maybe somebody's talking about you, your attitude should be no

341
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: big deal. They are powerless to stop the blessing on

342
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: my life. Well, you got some bad breaks, you got

343
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: laid off. Yes, that's true, but I'm not worried about it.

344
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 2: I know the blessing always overrides the curse. Well, you

345
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: came from a rough family, you had a rough background.

346
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: That's all right.

347
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: Where I am is not where I'm staying. I know

348
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 2: the blessing of God will get me to where I'm

349
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: supposed to be.

350
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 3: Here's what I've learned.

351
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 2: The enemy doesn't fight you for where you are. He

352
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: fights you for where you're going. Sometimes, like this, young man,

353
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: we think, why am I facing this opposition?

354
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: Why was I born into this family? It's because of

355
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 3: what's in your future.

356
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 2: When I first started ministering twelve years ago, I was

357
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 2: not only dealing with the loss of my father, but

358
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 2: I was learning how to minister. I had never done

359
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 2: this before, and at one point it seemed like everything

360
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: was coming against me. People were talking and I didn't

361
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: know if I could do this, and I thought, why

362
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: do I feel this resistance?

363
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 3: Why is this such a struggle.

364
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: Later I realized the enemy wasn't fighting me for where

365
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: I was.

366
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 3: He was fighting me for where I was going. He

367
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 3: didn't want me to be standing with you here tonight.

368
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: He didn't want the Compact Center to become Lakewood Church.

369
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: He didn't want our message of hope and faith and

370
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: victory to go around the world.

371
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 3: You may be facing difficulties and you.

372
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: Think, well, Joel, if I want to fulfill my destiny,

373
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: why are these circumstances.

374
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: Why are these people coming against me?

375
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: Here's why.

376
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: It's because God has something amazing in your future.

377
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 3: There are new levels of your destiny.

378
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 2: You have not touched the surface of what God has

379
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: in store. You are going to see Ephesians three twenty

380
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 2: exceedingly abundantly above and beyond.

381
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,479
Speaker 3: Now get your passion back.

382
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: No obstacles too much for you, No difficulty is too great.

383
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: You and God are a majority.

384
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 2: If God before you, who dare be against you? Think

385
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 2: about with Moses. His destiny was to deliver the people

386
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 2: of Israel from slavery. God had something big in his future.

387
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 2: Yet when he was born, the king ordered all the

388
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: male babies two years old and under to be killed.

389
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 2: It looked like God made a mistake. Looked like it

390
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: wasn't going to happen. No, God was still in control.

391
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: God had it all figured out. Moses' mother put him

392
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: in a little basket and sent him down the Nile River.

393
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: It just so happened. Pharaoh's daughter went out to take

394
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: a bath. She heard the cries coming from the basket.

395
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: A destiny moment. God positioned Pharaoh's daughter to be at

396
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: the right place at the right time. Ten minutes later,

397
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: and Moses would have floated on by.

398
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 3: See.

399
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: God's plan for your life is down to the very second.

400
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 3: God is not a vague God.

401
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: He's a precise God, a detailed God, an exact God.

402
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 2: Every step of your life has been strategically orchestrated. God

403
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: has already taken into account every attack that will come

404
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: against you. He already knows every setback. The good news

405
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 2: is He's already planned you'll come backs. Pharaoh's daughter took

406
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: Moses in. She said, I need somebody to nurse the baby.

407
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: An assistant said, I know just who to get. She

408
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 2: went and got Moses' mother. His life was not only spared,

409
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: but Moses grew up in the palace with his own mother.

410
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: He went on to fulfill his destiny. What God has

411
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 2: for your life will come to pass. I met a

412
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: young lady that grew up in Rwanda. She and her

413
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 2: family are strong believers. At twenty two years old, she

414
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 2: came home from college for Easter break. There were two

415
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 2: main tribes in Rwanda, and they had gotten along.

416
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 3: Peacefully for many many years.

417
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 2: They considered themselves all Rwanda's but one day the president

418
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 2: of the nation was killed. These rebels all from one

419
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: tribe started killing people from the opposing tribe a genocide.

420
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 2: They went on a rampage, going from town to town,

421
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: ruthlessly slaughtering men, women, children, anyone from the opposing tribe.

422
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 2: Some of the people that were doing the killing she

423
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 2: had grown up with, she had played with, even had

424
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: them in her home.

425
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 3: It was unthinkable.

426
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: Her parents snuck her to a pastor's home from the

427
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 2: opposing tribe, and she and six other girls in this

428
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 2: small bathroom week after week, never making a sound, never talking,

429
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: never coughing, never whispering. The bathroom was three feet by

430
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: four feet with a toilet in the center.

431
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 3: Seven people in there.

432
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: Again and again, the rebels would knock on the pastor's home,

433
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: calling her by name, specifically asking for her. The pastor

434
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 2: would say, no, she's not in here. One time they

435
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 2: came in and searched the house. They had their hand

436
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 2: on the doorknob of the bathroom where they were hiding,

437
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 2: but just before they turned it, they got distracted and

438
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 2: walked away. For ninety one days, she stayed in this bathroom,

439
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: never left.

440
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: Once. She went in.

441
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 2: Weighing one hundred and twenty pounds. She came out weighing

442
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 2: seventy pounds. During those three months, her parents, her relatives,

443
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 2: and nearly one million Rwandans were killed in this senseless genocide.

444
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: Very sad, but here's my point tonight. If it's not

445
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 2: your time to go, all the forces of darkness cannot

446
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 2: stop you. What God has purpose for your life will.

447
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 3: Come to pass.

448
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: God is bigger than any enemy, bigger than any injustice,

449
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 2: bigger than any sickness. The scripture says, when the enemy

450
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: comes in like a flood, the spirit of God will

451
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 2: raise up a barrier. God knows how to protect you.

452
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: Just as God can make blind eyes see. God can

453
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 2: make sea and eyes blind. God can shield you from

454
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: the enemy. Now, quit worrying about your future, Quit trying

455
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: to figure it all out. God has you in the

456
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: palm of his hand. Come back to that place of peace.

457
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 2: There is a hedge of protection around you that the

458
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 2: enemy cannot cross.

459
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: What is meant for your harm?

460
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 2: God said he would use to your advantage.

461
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 3: Today.

462
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: This beautiful young lady works for the United Nations. She

463
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: goes around the world telling her story, letting people know

464
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: that when you believe, all things are possible, I don't

465
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 2: see a way God can make a way When it

466
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: looks like it's over. God has the final say, and

467
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 2: God said in Hebrews, I will not, I will not.

468
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 2: I will not fail you in any way. Three times

469
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: God said the same thing. He knew we would all

470
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: face situations that look impossible. Times when the medical report

471
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: says no way, the financial situation says you're never going

472
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: to make it.

473
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 3: In the natural, you could.

474
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,520

476

Speaker 2: you miss your destiny. My challenge is stir your faith up.

482
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:08,000

483
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 2: shake off the self pitying. Put on a new attitude.

484
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 2: Get up every morning and say, Father, thank you that

485
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,119

Speaker 2: will leave my mark on this generation. Always remember this.

487
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,600

Speaker 2: a blessing on you. If you will have this attitude

489
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 2: of faith, honor God with your life. You're going to

492

498
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 2: shout of praise that.

499

501
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: is improved our prayers are not being answered, it's easy

502
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: to think, will God heal me?

503
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: The truth is God still loves to heal.

504
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: I've witnessed God's healing power firsthand in my own family.

505
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: When situations seemed impossible and medically speaking, there were no options,

506
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,359
