Speaker 4: I promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

42
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 4: I'd like to start with something funny and I heard

43
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: about this eighty four year old woman. She went on

44
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 4: a blind date with a ninety three year old man

45
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 4: when she returned home to her daughter's house, and she

46
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 4: seemed kind of upset, and her daughter asked her what

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 4: was wrong. She said, I had to slap him three times.

48
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 4: She said, you mean he tried to get fresh. She said, no,

49
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 4: I thought he was dead. Say it like you mean it.

50
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

51
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do

52
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be

53
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess. My mind

54
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

55
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

56
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 4: to talk to you today about balanced books. This is

57
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: an accounting term. It means to make up for loss

58
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: when a count is low, or when there's a deficit.

59
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 4: When you balance the books, you add revenue to equal

60
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 4: it out. We have to first determine how much the

61
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 4: account is behind. You take all the losses, all the deficits,

62
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 4: total them up. Then you know how much you need

63
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 4: to add. When the books are properly balanced, no one

64
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 4: can tell there's ever been a loss, there is no deficit.

65
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 4: In the same way God is promised he will balance

66
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: the books. In our lives. We all go through things

67
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 4: that put us at a deficit, an unfair situation, a

68
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: rough childhood, a friend betrayed us, we lost a loved one.

69
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 4: If nothing changed, we would be out of balance. We

70
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 4: would go through life with more loss, thinking, man, I

71
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 4: must have got the short end of the stick. God

72
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 4: must thought I had a good plan for my life.

73
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 4: A young lady told me recently how she's had six miscarriages,

74
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: hasn't been able to carry the baby. With big tears

75
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 4: running down her cheeks, she said, Joel, I don't understand it.

76
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 4: I want to have a baby so badly. Life is

77
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 4: not always fair, but God is fair. He will add

78
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 4: up all the losses, the disappointment, the heartache, the tears,

79
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: and he will pay you back. Hebrews ten says God

80
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 4: is a just God. He will repay the compensation owed us.

81
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 4: He will settle the cases of his people. God knows

82
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 4: what you're owed. You are not going to live in

83
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: a deficit mode. You may go through seasons where you're

84
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 4: out of balance, a loss, a disappointment, something doesn't make sense.

85
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: But don't worry. Your time is coming. God is going

86
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 4: to settle your case. He's seen every tear you shed,

87
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 4: every person that's done you wrong, every injustice. Nobody else

88
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 4: may know, but God knows, and he is not going

89
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 4: to leave you out of balance. You are not going

90
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 4: to end up in the red lonely, disappointed at a disadvantage.

91
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 4: That's all temporary. The creator of the universe is adding

92
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 4: up all the deficits you may have gone through. Things

93
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: you don't understand it. You could easily live discouraged, with

94
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 4: a chip on your shoulder. You know, get your passion back.

95
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 4: God is saying, I'm about to balance your books. Compensation

96
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: is coming, healing is coming, Vindication is coming, Promotion is

97
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 4: headed your way. I can look back in my own

98
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 4: life and see times where God balanced my books. When

99
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 4: I was growing up, we had church in a small,

100
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: run down building that used to be a feed store.

101
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: It had holes in the floor where you could sweep

102
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 4: the hay and feed out. We cleaned it up and

103
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: put some plywood down, put temporary chairs in it. For

104
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 4: thirteen years, that's where we had church. Over time, that

105
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: area of town started to go downhill, wasn't kept up

106
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 4: very well, and we lived about thirty minutes away and

107
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 4: most of my schoolmates went to the neighborhood church. It

108
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 4: was a big brick building, had a huge pipe organ,

109
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: stained glass, very prestigious, very beautiful. Because we were in

110
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 4: this feed store, certain people I knew saw us as

111
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 4: being second class, thinking, ah, they can't afford a place

112
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 4: to have church. They after meeting that old Rundown building.

113
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 4: I would hear them kind of laughing, making fun. And

114
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 4: they were good people. I know they didn't mean anything

115
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 4: by it, but they dismissed us. They saw us as

116
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 4: less than they're not up to par. Well, fast forward

117
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 4: thirty years, we're no longer in a Rundown feed store.

118
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 4: God has blessed us with the former Compact Center, the

119
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: premier facility in our city, in the most prestigious part

120
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: of town. That was God balancing the books, God bringing justice.

121
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 4: And when I was growing up, it never bothered me

122
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: that people made fun. In fact, I never even paid

123
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: attention to it. But God does pay attention. He is

124
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 4: keeping the records of who's trying to push you down,

125
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 4: who's trying to discredit you. He's adding all the deficits,

126
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 4: and at the right time, he's going to balance your books.

127
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 4: Some of the things God is going to pay you

128
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: back for isn't because of wrongs done to you, but

129
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 4: because of what your parents had to put up with,

130
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 4: because of injustices to those that went before you. See,

131
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 4: my father never saw the level of influence that God's

132
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: blessed me with. And I say that very humbly. I

133
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: recognize that I am reaping from the life my father lived.

134
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 4: This is God balancing the books in our family. There

135
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: are people in your family line. They kept doing the

136
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 4: right thing when the wrong thing was happening. They gave,

137
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 4: they served, they honored God, but they never saw total justice.

138
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 4: We get ready, like with me, God is going to

139
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 4: bless you to make up for what should have been there.

140
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 4: God is not going to leave your family out of balance.

141
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 4: You're going to come into blessings that you didn't work for,

142
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 4: for good, breaks that you didn't deserve. Doors will open

143
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 4: that should have never opened. It wasn't because of anything

144
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 4: you did. That's God paying your family back for what

145
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 4: they were owed. This is what happened with the Israelites.

146
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: They had been in slavery for ten generations. They were mistreated,

147
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 4: taken advantage of, forced to work long hours, given these

148
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 4: quotas that were impossible to meet. After four hundred and

149
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 4: thirty years, God brought them out of slavery. They could

150
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 4: have left, and that in itself would have been a

151
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 4: great miracle. They were finally free, but they didn't leave

152
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: empty handed, with their heads down in shame. They had

153
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 4: worked four hundred and thirty years without pay. They were

154
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 4: owed a whole lot. God said, all right, it's time

155
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: to balance the books. On their way out, God caused

156
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 4: them to have favor with their captors. The same people

157
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 4: that had mistreated them for years, ones that had looked

158
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 4: down on them made their lives miserable. Suddenly they had

159
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 4: a change of heart and they gave the Israelites their gold,

160
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: their silver, their clothing. The Israelites left there pushing wheelbarrows

161
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 4: full of treasures. That was God balancing the books, paying

162
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 4: them back for those four hundred and thirty years. God

163
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 4: sees every deficit, he sees every wrong done to you

164
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 4: and your family. He knows what you're owed. There will

165
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 4: be a day like with the Israelites. God says, enough

166
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: is enough, it's time to balance your books. He's promised

167
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 4: he will compensate you. Now, quit worrying about what you lost.

168
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 4: Who did you wrong, who puts you at a disadvantage,

169
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 4: who's not giving you the credit? God saw what happened,

170
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 4: and he's saying it's payback time. You're coming out not

171
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 4: empty handed, not looked down on, not seeing his second class.

172
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 4: You'll coming out promoted, vindicated, res expected, with abundance favor

173
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 4: that you didn't deserve, blessings chasing you down. That's the

174
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 4: God of justice paying you back for what you were owed.

175
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 4: Young man told me recently how he was raised in

176
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 4: a very negative environment. His father wasn't in his life,

177
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 4: his mother was never around, she had a lot of

178
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 4: issues of her own, and he couldn't understand why he

179
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 4: had been dealt that hand, why he was put at

180
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 4: such a disadvantage. I told him what I'm telling you.

181
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 4: Life may not be fair, but God saw what happened,

182
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: and he's going to make it up to you. Here's

183
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 4: the whole key. You can't go around with a chip

184
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 4: on your shoulder thinking about what mama didn't give you,

185
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 4: what daddy didn't give you. God knew what your parents

186
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 4: weren't going to be able to give you. It didn't

187
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 4: stop his plan. If you will stay in faith, God

188
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 4: will balance your books. If you didn't get as much

189
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 4: in one area. He is a god of justice. He'll

190
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: give you more in another area to make up for it.

191
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: You may feel like you got short changed in life,

192
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: you didn't have a good childhood, or you're dealing with

193
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 4: an illness your boss doesn't give you any credit. Don't worry.

194
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 4: God sees what you're owed. He's keeping the records. He

195
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 4: may not be able to give you another childhood. He

196
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 4: may not be able to bring a loved one back

197
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 4: that you lost, but he can make the rest of

198
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 4: your life so rewarding, so fulfilling, you don't even think

199
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 4: about what you didn't get. Balance books means you're not

200
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 4: living from a place of deficit. You're not living from

201
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 4: a place of loss, always thinking about what you're lacking.

202
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 4: When my dad went to be with the Lord in

203
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety nine, I lost one of my best friends.

204
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 4: I'd worked with him for seventeen years and we'd traveled

205
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 4: the world together. But today, even though I missed my father,

206
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 4: even though I would love for him to be here,

207
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 4: God has blessed me in so many other areas. Yes,

208
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: I'm not living from a place of deficit. Sure that

209
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 4: first year, the loss was extra heavy. I was a

210
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 4: little out of balance. But then God begin to bring

211
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 4: new gifts out of me, open new doors, cause things

212
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: to fall into place. What was happening He was balancing

213
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 4: my books. Maybe somebody walked out of a relationship and

214
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 4: broke your heart. Don't live bitter, don't give up on life.

215
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 4: That is not the end. You may be out of

216
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: balance right now. That loss is extra heavy, but God

217
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 4: saw the hurt, he saw the betrayal and life with me.

218
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: God is going to pay you back. He's going to

219
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 4: bring somebody better into your life than you've ever even imagined.

220
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 4: Or maybe a dream didn't work out, you didn't get

221
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 4: the scholarship, the medical report wasn't good. Now you have

222
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 4: to take a whole nother round of treatment. In these

223
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 4: tough times when life doesn't seem fair, you have to

224
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 4: keep reminding yourself that He is a just God. He

225
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 4: sees what you're going through, and you are not going

226
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 4: to live from a place of deficit all through the day. Lord,

227
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 4: I want to thank you that you're balancing my books. Lord,

228
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 4: I believe that payback is coming. Healing is coming, Vindication

229
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 4: is on the way. This is what allows God to

230
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: pay you back for what you were owed, not going

231
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 4: around discouraged, blaming others in self pity. The hand you've

232
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 4: been dealt may not have been fair, but it is

233
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 4: not a surprise to God. He already has a way

234
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 4: to settle your case. Every time you're attempted to worry,

235
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 4: just turn it around and thank him that payback is

236
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 4: on the way. Thank him that you too, are going

237
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 4: to live from a place of no loss. I talked

238
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 4: to a lady recently, and she had been married for

239
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 4: fourteen years, has beautiful children. Life was good, but one day,

240
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 4: out of the blue, her husband informed her he was

241
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 4: leaving for another woman. She was totally blindsided, didn't see

242
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 4: it coming. Very devastated. She'd been a stay at home

243
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 4: mom and hadn't been in the workforce for over ten years.

244
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 4: She didn't know what she's going to do and how

245
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 4: she would be able to raise her children. Two weeks later,

246
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 4: while she was still numbs, still trying to take it in,

247
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 4: an old girlfriend from high school contacted her. They hadn't

248
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 4: talked in twenty years. This girlfriend said, I'm starting a

249
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 4: new business and out of nowhere, your name came to mind.

250
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 4: I'm wondering if you'd be interested in being my business partner.

251
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: This lady told how she's going through divorce and she

252
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 4: didn't have extra funds to invest into a business. Her

253
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 4: girlfriend said, I don't need any funds. I have all

254
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 4: the money. I just want you to work with me

255
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: in this business. That company totally took off today. This

256
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 4: lady is extremely blessed. She has more than enough to

257
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 4: take care of her family friends. God knows how to

258
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 4: balance your books. He didn't promise that unfair things would

259
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 4: never happen, but he did promise he will compensate you

260
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 4: for what you're owed. He's already lined up the right

261
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 4: people to search you out. He can make things happen

262
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 4: that you could never make happen. You may have gone

263
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 4: through a disappointment, a bad break, somebody did you wrong.

264
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 4: Get ready, Payback is coming. Vindication is on the way.

265
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: There was a young lady in the scripture named Leah.

266
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 4: She and her sister Rachel were both married to Jacob.

267
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 4: Rachel was much more beautiful, so Jacob didn't give Leah

268
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 4: much time or attention. I'm sure Leah felt inferior, not

269
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 4: good enough, at a disadvantage, But the scripture says because

270
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 4: Leah was unloved. God let her have a baby while

271
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 4: Rachel was still childless. Leah went on to have four

272
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 4: sons before Rachel had one baby. Back in those days,

273
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: having a son was a big deal. God was saying, Leah,

274
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 4: since your husband is not treating you right, since you

275
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 4: didn't get the beautiful looks like your sister, I'm going

276
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 4: to balance your books and give you something that will

277
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: cause Jacob to notice you. I'm going to let you

278
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 4: have children before your sister. What am I saying? God

279
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 4: shows special favor to people that are seen as having

280
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 4: a disadvantage. You may think somebody else got all the

281
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: good breaks, good childhood, good looks, good personality. Don't worry.

282
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 4: Your time is coming. God has some advantages for you

283
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 4: that are going to cause you to stand out. You

284
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 4: are not going to live always being in the shadow

285
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: of somebody more beautiful, more talented, more successful. God's going

286
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 4: to cause you to shine. You're going to excel, You're

287
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 4: going to be known. You're going to leave your mark

288
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 4: and what you think you didn't get in looks, in personality,

289
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 4: in your upbringing, God is going to make it up

290
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 4: for you. He's going to balance your books and like

291
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 4: with Leah. Those times when people try to make you

292
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 4: feel inferior, make you feel small, try to discredit you,

293
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 4: that does not go unnoticed. God sees every injustice, He

294
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 4: hears every negative comment, He sees every tear. The Scripture

295
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 4: says a little bird a sparrow cannot fall to the

296
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 4: ground without God knowing about it. How much more does

297
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 4: God see everything that happens to you. You're his child,

298
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 4: his most prized possession. When somebody does you wrong, God

299
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 4: takes it personally. He doesn't sit back and think, well,

300
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 4: I wish they wouldn't do that. That's when God gets

301
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 4: up and goes to work. Just like as parents, if

302
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 4: we see somebody mistreat our children, we go overboard to

303
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 4: make things right. One time, when our daughter Alexander was

304
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 4: about four years old, just a little girl, I just

305
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 4: bought her an ice cream cone and we walked out

306
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 4: of the shop and there were some friends there that

307
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 4: we stopped to talk to. There were a bunch of

308
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 4: little children playing there on the sidewalk, running having fun

309
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 4: as they were eating their ice cream cones. As I

310
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 4: was talking to my friends, I noticed out of the

311
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 4: corner of my eye this one little boy about ten

312
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 4: years old he was playing very rough, and I thought

313
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 4: to myself, he needs to be careful because that's my

314
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 4: little girl over there, and I don't want her to

315
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 4: get hurt. And he didn't mean to, but accidentally he

316
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 4: bumped into Alexander really hard, caused her to drop her

317
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 4: ice cream cone on the ground. And you know, that

318
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 4: was okay until he started making fun of her and

319
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 4: teasing her and saying, ha ha, now you don't have

320
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 4: any ice cream. Alexander came right over to me. She

321
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 4: knew Daddy would make things right, and we went back

322
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 4: into the ice cream store and normally I would get

323
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 4: her one scoop she is four years old, but I said,

324
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 4: this time, we're gonna get you three scoops, so you're

325
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 4: gonna have more than anybody else. It was so funny.

326
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 4: She went out of that store, found that little boy

327
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 4: and started waving that icetrim just like that. She got

328
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 4: that from Victoria. I'm telling you that, it's just like

329
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 4: she was saying, look what you did. You caused me

330
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 4: to get three times what I had before. See that

331
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 4: little boy. He may have meant it for harm, but

332
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 4: as her father, a minute for good. That's the way

333
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 4: your heavenly father is somebody does you wrong, you go

334
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: through an unfair situation. God sees it. Here's the beauty.

335
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 4: God never brings you out the same, He'll always bring

336
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 4: you out better. Isaiah said, because you got a double

337
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 4: dose of trouble, your inheritance in the land will be double,

338
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 4: and your joy will go on forever. Don't complain about

339
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 4: the disappointment. It puts you in position to receive double

340
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 4: That set back, that bad break. It may look like

341
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 4: a setback, but really it is a set up for

342
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 4: God to show out in a greater way. God is

343
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 4: about to balance your books. People that have been against you,

344
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 4: some of them for years, tried to push you down,

345
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 4: treat you condescending. Things are about to change. They're going

346
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 4: to see God's favor on your life. They're going to

347
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 4: treat you with the respect and the honor that you deserve.

348
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 4: When the Israelites were in slavery, Moses told Pharaoh again

349
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 4: and again to let the people go. But Pharah wouldn't listen.

350
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 4: He didn't respect Moses. He thought, who are you, Moses

351
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 4: to tell me what to do. I'm the Pharaoh, I'm

352
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 4: the leader around here. I'm wearing this royal robe. I

353
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 4: live in the palace. Moses, you're a shepherd. You don't

354
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 4: have any credentials. You're not successful. You live out in

355
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 4: the desert. You've been wearing those same clothes for forty years.

356
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 4: You're nothing compared to me. He dismissed. Moses saw him

357
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 4: as secondary. This happened over and over. Every time Moses

358
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 4: went back to tell him that another plague was coming,

359
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 4: Pharaoh didn't even give him the time of day. He thought, Oh, man,

360
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 4: here comes that crazy guy Moses again, trying to tell

361
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 4: me what to do. What's interesting is after the last plague,

362
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 4: when Pharaoh finally decided to let the people go, they

363
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 4: not only gave the Israelites their gold and silver. Pharah

364
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 4: said in Exodus chapter twelve, Moses, take your flocks, your herds,

365
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 4: all your people. You can leave, but one thing. Give

366
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 4: me your blessing before you go. Now, instead of looking

367
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 4: down on Moses, instead of seeing him his second class,

368
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 4: he recognizes God's hand on Moses' life. He sees the

369
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 4: honor of the influence the anointing, so much so he

370
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 4: asked Moses to bless him. Part of God balancing your

371
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 4: books is people that don't respect you, people that discredit,

372
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 4: try to push you down. They're going to have a

373
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 4: change of heart and see God's hand of blessing and

374
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 4: favor on your life. They're going to ask for your blessing.

375
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 4: The scripture says God can turn the heart of a king.

376
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 4: God knows how to change people. You don't have to

377
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 4: play up to someone, try to convince them to like you,

378
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: let them control you and manipulate you. Just keep running

379
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 4: your race, being your best, walking in your anointing, honoring God,

380
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,719
Speaker 4: and God will turn the hearts of those that are

381
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 4: against you. May not happen overnight, it may take years,

382
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 4: but God will balance your books. There will be a

383
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 4: day like with Moses when he saw the person that

384
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 4: disrespected him the most. The pharaoh that wouldn't even look

385
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 4: him in the eyes, is now asking for his blessing.

386
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 4: Says in Proverbs, when you honor God, Godd He'll make

387
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 4: even your enemies be at peace with you. On be

388
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 4: upset when people do you wrong, you go through an

389
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 4: unfair situation, Just keep honoring God, and one day they'll

390
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 4: ask for your blessing. One translation says, your enemies will

391
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 4: end up shaking your hand. I met a man in

392
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 4: the lobby a while back, and he was a pastor

393
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,479
Speaker 4: in another state, and he told how he was our

394
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 4: biggest critic. He used to tell his congregation not to

395
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 4: watch He wrote articles against us, very outspoken. But a

396
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 4: couple of years ago he went through a major health crisis.

397
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 4: He had to resign from his church. Didn't know if

398
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 4: he was going to make it. One night, flipping through

399
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 4: the channels, he came across our program. He watched us

400
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 4: for the first time. He said, Joel, I haven't turned

401
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 4: you off since now I'm your biggest supporter. I tell

402
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 4: everybody to watch you. You help me make it through

403
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 4: the most difficult time of my life. He gave me

404
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 4: a big hug and said, will you pray. Had to

405
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 4: think about it for a little while, but this is

406
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 4: what the scripture says. When you honor God, he'll balance

407
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 4: your books. He'll cause your enemies to shake your Instead

408
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 4: of criticizing you, they'll end up celebrating you. In the

409
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 4: New Testament, no one was more opposed to the Church

410
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 4: than Saul. Saul was having believers arrested and put in prison.

411
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: When Stephen was stoned to death for being a follower

412
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 4: of Christ, Saul was right there giving his approval. One day,

413
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 4: Saul was on the road to Damascus with letters in

414
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 4: hand to arrest believers. But in the middle of his journey,

415
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 4: a bright light shine down from heaven knocked him flat

416
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 4: on his back. He became blind. He couldn't see it.

417
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 4: They had to lead him into Damascus for three days.

418
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 4: He was so distraught he went without food and water.

419
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 4: One night, he saw a vision of a man named

420
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 4: Annonaius praying for him. Once again, in his eyes became open.

421
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 4: He could see well. Anonius was one of the main believers.

422
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 4: Think about what God did. Saul is sitting there blind.

423
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 4: The one who has the answer to his prayer is

424
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 4: the one he came to arrest. He was Anonius's biggest critic.

425
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 4: Now he needs what Anonius has. Instead of wanting to

426
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 4: persecute Anonius, he's saying, please go see if Anonius will

427
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 4: come pray for me. You may have people like Saul

428
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 4: in your life. They've been against you for years. Maybe

429
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 4: not that vocal, but they're condescending. They try to push

430
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 4: you down. Don't worry. Payback is coming. God is your vindicator.

431
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 4: You keep taking the high road, keep doing the right thing.

432
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 4: One day God will cause them to need what you have,

433
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 4: they'll come to you asking for your health. You're blessing

434
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 4: your favor. Anonius said, God, I'm not gonna go pray

435
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 4: for Saul. That man's killing people. This is a setup.

436
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 4: They're gonna arrest me. God said no, Anonyus, it's not

437
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 4: what you think. I've changed things Saul. I'm going to

438
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 4: use him in a great way. An Anius went and

439
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 4: prayed for his greatest enemy. He did good to someone

440
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 4: who had spent years doing bad to him. This is

441
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 4: a test we all must pass. Will you be good

442
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 4: to the Sauls in your life when you have what

443
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 4: they need? Will you show them favor even though they've

444
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 4: been mistreating you. If you want God to balance your books,

445
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 4: you have to be the bigger person and bless those

446
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 4: who have cursed you in their time of need. Don't

447
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 4: withhold what you have. Don't say well, too bad, Saul.

448
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 4: I'm glad you're blind now. Maybe you'll leave me alone. No,

449
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 4: do good to those that persecute you. Annius went over

450
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 4: and prayed for Saul. After he did, his eyes were open,

451
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 4: And of course Saul became the apostle Paul, who wrote

452
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 4: over half of the New Testament. But when people come

453
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 4: against us, unfair situations happen. It's easy to get upset,

454
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 4: try to pay somebody back or prove to them who

455
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 4: we are. Now, don't waste your emotional energy on the

456
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 4: souls in your life. Wait for God to do it

457
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 4: his way. God sees every injustice, he hears every negative comment.

458
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 4: He's adding up all the deficits, all the wrongs, and
