They were driving down the freeway together when 48 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 4: they were pulled over by a policeman. The officer said 49 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 4: to the driver, ma'am, do you realize you're only going 50 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 4: thirty five miles an hour? She said, yes, officer, I 51 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 4: realize that. He said, well, why are you going so slow? 52 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 4: She said, because that's what the sign said. He kind 53 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 4: of laughed and said, no, ma'am, that's the number of 54 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 4: the freeway. This is Highway thirty five. And by the way, 55 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 4: why do these other passengers look so terrified? She smiled 56 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 4: and said, because we just got off Highway ninety five. 57 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 58 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 4: I am what it says. I am. I have what 59 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says 60 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 61 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 4: of God. I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my 62 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 4: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 63 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 4: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 64 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 4: about from patient to physician. We've all had times where 65 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 4: we've seen God's goodness. We weren't feeling well. The medical 66 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 4: report didn't look good, but God turned it around. Now 67 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 4: we're healthy and whole. Or we lost a loved one. 68 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 4: We didn't think we could go on, but God gave 69 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 4: us strength and peace, and here we are stronger than ever. 70 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 4: At one point we were the patient. We needed healing, 71 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 4: we needed restoration, we needed favor. God made a way 72 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 4: where we didn't see away, and we're grateful that He 73 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 4: brought us out. We know that was his goodness. But 74 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 4: here's the key. It's not enough to just be a 75 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 4: grateful former patient. You have to take it one step 76 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 4: further and go from patient to physician. You've been healed. 77 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 4: Now go help somebody else get healed. You broke the addiction. 78 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 4: Help someone else break their addiction. Your son got back 79 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 4: on course. God entered your prayers. Go help that mother 80 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 4: that's struggling with her son. Encourage her, Speak life into her. 81 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 4: Let her know that God did it for you and 82 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 4: he can do it for her. God didn't heal you 83 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 4: so you could be well. That's one reason, but not 84 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 4: the only reason. He healed you so you could become 85 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 4: a healer. He didn't bless you just so you could 86 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 4: be blessed. He did it so you could become a blessing. 87 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 4: He favored you so you could show other people favor. 88 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 4: He brought you through the loss, He gave you a 89 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: new beginning so you could help others make it through 90 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 4: their loss. And it's not enough to just bask in 91 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 4: what God has done, thank him for his goodness, and 92 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 4: that's fine, but you have a responsibility to help someone 93 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: else in that same situation. You're no longer the patient, 94 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 4: you become the physician. A friend of mine has had 95 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 4: real bad back pain. It's been on and off again 96 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 4: for a couple of years. He recently found a new 97 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 4: doctor that he really likes. And what made him so 98 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 4: special is this doctor has had the same back pain 99 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 4: that my friend had for over ten years. He's gone 100 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 4: through several surgeries and now his back is perfectly healed. 101 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 4: My friend was excited because this doctor had been through 102 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 4: what he's going through. Some things you can't fully understand 103 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 4: by taking a class or by reading a book. But 104 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 4: when you've been through the pain, through the laws, through 105 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 4: the struggle, that experience gives you a unique perspective that 106 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 4: others without it don't have. They can't fully appreciate it. 107 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 4: I don't know what it's like to struggle with an addiction, 108 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 4: or to go through chemotherapy, or do I have been 109 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 4: raised in abuse and dysfunction. I haven't been there. I 110 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 4: can encourage you, I can chew you on. But when 111 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 4: you've been through something, You've been through cancer treatment, you've 112 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 4: been through a divorce, a loss, a rough childhood, in 113 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 4: one sense, you've been given a gift. You are uniquely 114 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 4: qualified to help someone else in that same situation. You 115 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 4: know what it's like, the pain, the discouragement, the battles 116 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 4: they fight in their mind. You can help them in 117 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 4: a way that others can't. God has done it for you. Now, 118 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 4: don't stay a grateful patient, become a physician. Reach out 119 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 4: to them. Your encouragement carries more weight. You're speaking from experience, 120 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 4: You've been there, Paul said in Corinthians. The comfort we 121 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 4: receive in our difficulties, we can share that same comfort 122 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 4: with others in their time of need. And we all 123 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 4: have something to give because we've all been through things, 124 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 4: and it doesn't have to be something big, something tragic. 125 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 4: You made it through that tough course in college. You 126 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 4: worked hard and studied. That friend came over and helped you. 127 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 4: You prayed and believe you were the patient. It wasn't easy, 128 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 4: but God breathed on your efforts and you passed that course. 129 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 4: Now maybe you have a friend in that same situation. 130 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 4: They don't understand it. They're stressed, they're struggling. You're no 131 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 4: longer the patient. Now you're the physician. God brought you 132 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 4: out not just for your sake, not just so you 133 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 4: could shine. He brought you out so you can help somebody. Y'all. Shine. 134 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 4: Take time to mentor them, give them your notes, your strategy, 135 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 4: your tips, send them an encouraging text. Do what you 136 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 4: can to help them pass. Every one of us have 137 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 4: had experiences that qualify us to be the physician. I 138 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 4: know what it's like to stand in faith when your 139 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 4: mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer. I know what it's 140 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 4: like to lose a father that you dearly loved unexpectedly. 141 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 4: I know what it's like to step up and pastor 142 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 4: a church when you don't feel qualified. I know what 143 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 4: it's like to fight for the Compact Center when a 144 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 4: company much bigger and stronger is against you. I know 145 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 4: what it's like to ignore opposition and critics and do 146 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 4: what God has put in your heart. God has brought 147 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 4: me through those things. He's given me strength when I 148 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 4: was weak. He opened doors that I couldn't open. He 149 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 4: healed my mother terminal cancer. He'd given us the Compact 150 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 4: Center when every expert said there wasn't a chance. I 151 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 4: recognize God's goodness in my life, but I don't just 152 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 4: thank him for it. I'm not just a grateful form 153 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 4: or patient. I become a physician. Practically every week I 154 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 4: talk to other pastors that are about to step up 155 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 4: and pastor a church, maybe unexpectedly. I'm no expert, but 156 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 4: I tell them what I know that I didn't feel qualified. 157 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 4: I didn't have the experience, but God gave me the grace, 158 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 4: and he'll give them the grace too. People tell me 159 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 4: often how when they've heard me talk about making it 160 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 4: through the loss of my father, that's helped them to 161 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 4: make it through the loss of their loved one. God 162 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 4: told Abraham, I will bless you and you shall be 163 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 4: a blessing. It infers if you're not going to be 164 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 4: a blessing, then you're not going to be blessed. The 165 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 4: two are tied together. God is saying I will heal 166 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 4: you if you'll become a healer. I'll free you if 167 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 4: you'll help somebody else break that addiction. I'll give you 168 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 4: the Compact Center if you'll help other people accomplish their dreams. 169 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 4: He's saying, I'll deliver you from being a patient if 170 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 4: you'll make a commitment to become a physician. And it's 171 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 4: not only about being good to others, but the way 172 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 4: you're going to keep your blessed is by being a blessing. 173 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 4: The Scripture says give and it will be given to you. 174 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 4: If you're not giving away what God has given you, 175 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 4: then that blessing is not going to continue in the 176 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 4: way that it should. And this is the reason some 177 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 4: people don't keep their healing. It's not because they're not grateful, 178 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 4: it's because they're not helping anyone else. If you will 179 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 4: give away healing, healing will always come back to you. 180 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 4: God freed you from that addiction. If you want to 181 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 4: stay free, go help somebody else get free. Keep giving 182 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 4: away what God has given you. My mother was healed 183 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 4: from terminal cancer back in nineteen eighty one. For over 184 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 4: thirty years, she's been healthy, whole, and strong. One reason 185 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 4: is she didn't stay a grateful form or patient. She 186 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 4: didn't just go around and say Lord, thank you that 187 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 4: I'm well. That's the first step, but she went to 188 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 4: step two and became a physician. For you years, she's 189 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 4: gone up to the medical center every week to pray 190 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 4: for people that were sick. Her encouragement carries more weight. 191 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 4: She tells them, I've been where you are. I've been 192 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 4: given no hope. I was told I had a few 193 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 4: weeks to live, but God has the final say. Every 194 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 4: month here at Lakewood, she has different healing services. She 195 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 4: keeps giving away what she's been given no wonder. She's 196 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 4: almost eighty five years young and still going strong today. 197 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 4: At one point, we were all the patient. We were lonely, 198 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 4: we were fighting in illness. We were believing for dream, 199 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 4: working hard, being our best, and God made it happen. 200 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 4: Now we're blessed, we're married, we have the Compact Center, 201 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 4: my mother is well. We're grateful, but we can't stop there. 202 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 4: We have a responsibility to help somebody else get well, 203 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 4: help them get their compact center, their promotion, their spouse. 204 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 4: We've switched from being the patient to becoming the physician. 205 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 4: Now we're looking for people. We can lift people, we 206 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 4: can speak light to their darkness, healing to their brokenness, 207 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 4: freedom to their strongholds. Back then we needed healing. Now 208 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 4: we are the healer. We needed encouragement. Now we are 209 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 4: the encourager. We needed a miracle. Now we are their miracle. 210 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 4: If you'll let what God gives you flow through you, 211 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 4: then he'll continue to give it to you. But it's 212 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 4: tempting to think I got the compact center God. I'm satisfied. God, 213 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 4: you brought me Victoria. I'm happily married. You bless me. 214 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 4: That's going to cause us to get stagnant. If you're 215 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 4: not giving anything away, nothing new is going to come. 216 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 4: And whether or not you keep the blessing, the healing, 217 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 4: the favor, the influence depends on what you do with it. 218 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 4: When you're always lifting people, encouraging some one making their 219 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 4: life better than blessings are always going to come to you. 220 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 4: I know this young lady that was raised in a 221 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 4: dysfunctional environment growing up, her parents weren't around, and she 222 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 4: was taking advantage of and passed from foster home to 223 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 4: foster home. It was a very unfair situation that she 224 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 4: had no control over. By the grace of God, this 225 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 4: loving family took her in. They spoke life into her 226 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 4: and nurtured her instead of becoming a statistic, bitter and angry. Today, 227 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 4: she's healthy and whole. She got married, graduated from college, 228 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 4: she has three beautiful children. She's extremely grateful. She knows 229 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 4: that's God's goodness that was protecting her and bringing the 230 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 4: right people. But she didn't stop with just being grateful. 231 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 4: She's constantly helping other young ladies that were like her, 232 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 4: mentoring them, having them over to her house, making them shopping, 233 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 4: making them feel valuable and loved, telling them that how 234 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 4: they were raised doesn't determine who they are or where 235 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 4: they're going. What's she doing being a healer? She's not 236 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 4: just a grateful former patient. She's not just saying look 237 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 4: what God has done for me. She's gone on to 238 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 4: step number two. She's become a physician. No wonder she 239 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 4: continues to see blessings and favor. She keeps giving away 240 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 4: what was given to her. One reason God could bless 241 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 4: her is he knew he could trust her to take 242 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 4: the restoration and share it with others. He knew she 243 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 4: wouldn't stay a patient, she would become a physician. I 244 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 4: wonder if we're not seeing healing blessings favor increase because 245 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 4: we're not committed like her to give it away. God 246 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 4: is saying to us what he said to Abraham. I 247 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 4: will bless you if you will make a commitment to 248 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 4: be a blessing. I will restore you. I will even 249 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 4: make the enemy pain. I will take what was meant 250 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 4: for harm and turn it to your advantage if you'll 251 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 4: do like her and help restore others. I talked to 252 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 4: a lady whose son was killed in a rack while 253 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 4: he was serving. She was so devastated she didn't think 254 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 4: she could go on. Month after month of grieving turned 255 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 4: into year after year, bitter, depressed, angry. She couldn't understand 256 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 4: why it happened. She would hear me talking about how 257 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 4: life is not always going to make sense, but how 258 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 4: we have to keep moving forward, how you can't let 259 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 4: a season of morning turn into a lifetime of morning. 260 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 4: And I know that's not easy. I haven't been there, 261 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 4: but I know living depressed and bitter is only going 262 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 4: to pull you down and make it worse. When she 263 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 4: would hear me say that God is in control and 264 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 4: that he has new beginnings, she would get so angry 265 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 4: she would scream at the television, Joe, you don't know 266 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 4: what I've been through. Deep down, she knew what she 267 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 4: was hearing was true, but the pain was so real. 268 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 4: After six years of listening week after week, she finally 269 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 4: decided to move forward. She got involved with a program 270 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 4: that helps veterans and people that have been wounded in 271 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 4: the military. She started a chapter in her hometown. She said, 272 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 4: I cannot tell you how blessed I am and how 273 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 4: much I have received from helping these families in need. 274 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 4: She ended by saying, I want to apologize for screaming 275 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 4: at you all those times. I thank god I couldn't 276 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 4: hear it. But here's my point. When she made the 277 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 4: decision to help others, that's when her healing came. As 278 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 4: long as she was bitter, angry, focused on how unfair 279 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 4: life was, nothing got better. It's when she decided to 280 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 4: become a physician to reach out to others. Then God 281 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 4: gave her beauty for ashes, joy and fulfillment like she 282 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 4: never dreamed. Is God waiting for you to be a 283 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 4: blessing so he can really bless you? Is He waiting 284 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 4: for you to give away healing, give away encouragement, make 285 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 4: somebody else better? Then, like this lady. He's going to 286 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 4: take you to a level that you've never imagined. Luke, 287 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 4: Chapter twenty two, Jesus said to Peter, Satan has tried 288 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 4: to sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for 289 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 4: you that your faith would not fail. When you have 290 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 4: turned again, strengthen your brother. Jesus was telling Peter that 291 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 4: forces were trying to keep him from his destiny, but 292 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 4: he prayed for him and Peter was going to make it. 293 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 4: Then he said something significant. When you have turned again. 294 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 4: That means when you come out of this trial, when 295 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 4: you're on the other side, blessed, free, restored, What are 296 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 4: you to do strengthen your brother? He was saying, use 297 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 4: what you've been through to help somebody else get stronger. 298 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 4: Every blessing, every healing, every breakthrough was not designed just 299 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 4: for you. It was to strengthen your brother. You would 300 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 4: think Jesus would say, Peter, when you get out, go 301 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 4: to the temple and celebrate, call some friends and have 302 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 4: a victory party. You're free, you're healed, you're blessed. Instead, 303 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 4: he said, when you come out, go strengthen someone. God 304 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 4: gave health back to my mother. You know what she's 305 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 4: been doing the last thirty seven years strengthening people. God 306 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 4: gave me the grace to step up and pastor when 307 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 4: I didn't think I could do it what I've been doing, 308 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 4: strengthen in others. Whatever God has brought you through, whatever 309 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 4: he's turned around, whatever he's made happen that you couldn't 310 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 4: make happen, that's an opportunity to strengthen someone. Maybe you've 311 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 4: been through a divorce, your heart was broken, you didn't 312 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 4: think you could go on, didn't look like there were 313 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 4: any good days up ahead. What you may not have 314 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 4: realized is, like with Peter, Jesus was praying for you 315 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 4: that your faith would not fail. It's one thing to 316 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 4: have people praying for you, have a friend praying for you, 317 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 4: a pastor, a priest, a rabbi. That's all good, But 318 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 4: the scripture says Jesus is at the right hand of 319 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 4: the Father praying for us. You wonder how you made 320 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 4: it through that tough time, how you made it through 321 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 4: that loss, how you broke that addiction that seemed like 322 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 4: it was permanent. Here's how the creator of the universe 323 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 4: was praying for you. We've all come through things that 324 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 4: should have stopped us. We've all seen good breaks that 325 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 4: we couldn't make happen, doors open that we couldn't open, 326 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 4: a broken that we couldn't break on our own. Now 327 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 4: we're on the other side. What's our responsibility. What are 328 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 4: we to do? Strengthen someone, Strengthen that person that has cancer, 329 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 4: Strengthen that friend that's going through a divorce, Strengthen that 330 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 4: coworker that's fighting an addiction. Strengthen that neighbor that's lonely. 331 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 4: We should live on a mission. I'm out to strengthen 332 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 4: somebody today. I'm going to encourage someone. I'm going to 333 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 4: help heal someone. God's brought me out. I'm not going 334 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 4: to stay a grateful form or patient. I'm going to 335 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 4: become a physician. God's blessed you. Now help somebody else 336 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 4: get blessed. God delivered you. Why don't you help them 337 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 4: get delivered? And yes, it's okay to stay a patient 338 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 4: for a little while. Of course, we all have difficulties 339 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 4: and fight battles. We need encouragement, people to lift us 340 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 4: when we fall, carry us when we're weak. There are 341 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 4: seasons when we're a patient. But when God turns it around, 342 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 4: when he brings us out. Now we're blessed, we're healed, 343 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 4: we meet the right person. We need to shift into 344 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 4: a different mode. Now, I'm looking for somebody to strengthenm 345 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 4: I'm looking for somebody to bless. I have a story 346 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 4: to share, I have encouragement to give, no more, I 347 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 4: need something. I'm a patient and it's not just a 348 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 4: grateful mode. God's been good to me. We have to 349 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 4: shift into this physician mode. Who can I bless? Who 350 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,479 Speaker 4: can I help heal? Maybe my son was off course 351 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 4: God turned him around. Lord, thank you for that. Now 352 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 4: where's another son I can go after? Or God, you 353 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 4: gave us the compact center. You made a way when 354 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 4: I didn't see a way. Where is somebody I can 355 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 4: encourage with this? Where is a pastor I can call 356 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 4: that doesn't think he'll ever get his building. As long 357 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 4: as you let the blessings keep flowing, the encouragement, being 358 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 4: good to people, comforting them, helping them to overcome, then 359 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 4: the blessings will keep coming in, the healing will keep coming, 360 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 4: the right people, the joy, the fulfillment. Now I'm not 361 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 4: saying you won't have difficulties, but as you give away 362 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 4: what God's given you, as you strengthen others, you will 363 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 4: always have the strength that you need. But sometimes we 364 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 4: can live ingrown focused on ourselves. We're grateful, we thank 365 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 4: God for his goodness, but that's not enough. That's not 366 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 4: going to cause it to sustain. The real test is 367 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 4: are you strengthening someone? Are you taking time to encourage people? 368 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 4: Are you going out of your way to be good 369 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 4: to them? Maybe they need to be in an uplifting environment. 370 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 4: You go pick them up and bring them to church. 371 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 4: You just strengthened your brother. The truth is none of 372 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 4: us got to where we are on our own. Somebody 373 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 4: encouraged you. Somebody brought you to church. Somebody took time 374 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 4: to teach you, to train you. Somebody believed in you. 375 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 4: They took a chance and gave you a position. Somebody 376 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 4: prayed for you. It may have been a great great 377 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 4: great grandmother. You've never even met them, but they were 378 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 4: instrumental in you being where you are today. They helped you. 379 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 4: Why don't you go out and help somebody else. Keep 380 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 4: giving away what God's given you and it will always 381 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 4: come back. My father grew up in a family that 382 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 4: didn't have anything to do with God. They were good people, 383 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 4: but faith wasn't a part of their life. In his 384 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 4: teenage years, he was partying and staying out all night, 385 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 4: not doing well in school, but he had a friend 386 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 4: named Sam that was always talking to him about the Lord. 387 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 4: Sam would get to school early and write scripture verses 388 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 4: on the chalkboard. My father was so embarrassed, but no 389 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 4: matter how many times he told Sam no, he wouldn't 390 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 4: leave him alone. Sam stayed after him. At the age 391 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 4: of seventeen, Daddy was coming home from a nightclub two 392 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 4: o'clock in the morning. He looked up at the stars 393 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 4: and began to think about God and what he would 394 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 4: do with his life. Next morning, he called Sam and 395 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 4: said he wanted to go to church with him. The 396 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 4: end of the service, the pastor invited people to the 397 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 4: front to receive Christ. My father wanted to go, but 398 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 4: he was too afraid. Sam said, John, if you'll go, 399 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 4: I'll go with you. They walked down the aisle together 400 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 4: and my father gave his life to Christ. Fast forward 401 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 4: some forty years later, my father was a successful pastor 402 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 4: with the church of thousands known around the world. One night, 403 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 4: he went to a friend's church across town to hear 404 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 4: a special speaker. He arrived late, so he sat in 405 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 4: the back. He looked down the road and I noticed 406 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 4: this young man that looked very troubled. He was planning 407 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 4: on speaking to him when it was over. But in 408 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 4: the middle of the service, the young man got up 409 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 4: and walked out. My father felt so strongly about it. 410 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 4: He got up and went looking for him. He looked 411 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 4: all over the lobby and couldn't find him. He went 412 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 4: out in the parking lot and searched and searched. He 413 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 4: wasn't there. Came back in and checked the restroom, opened 414 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 4: the door. The young man was standing there. He said, 415 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 4: I know you don't know me, but God has a 416 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 4: plan for your life. He has something for you to do. 417 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 4: He sent me after you to let you know that 418 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 4: he cares about you. The young man started weeping and weeping. 419 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 4: He was addicted to so many drugs, so depressed that 420 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 4: he was planning on ending his life that night, but 421 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 4: decided to go to church one last time. By the 422 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 4: grace of God, my father was there. That night was 423 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 4: a turning point, a new beginning. The young man. Not 424 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 4: only he got free, but he too became the pastor 425 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 4: of a lord's church. Here's my point. Forty years later, 426 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 4: my father was still giving away what had been given 427 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 4: to him. If it had not been for Sam, he 428 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 4: would have missed his destiny. My father wasn't just a 429 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 4: grateful form or patient. He didn't just go around saying, 430 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 4: look what God has done for me. He became a physician. 431 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 4: He lived with this attitude. I'm on a mission. Sam 432 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 4: tracked me down and changed my life. Now I'm gonna 433 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 4: track somebody else down and help change their life. I'm 434 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 4: gonna strengthen my brother. No wonder. My father lived with 435 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 4: favor and influence God's goodness. He kept letting what was 436 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 4: given to him flow to others. God knew if he 437 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 4: would bless my father, he could trust him to be 438 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 4: a blessing. He knew if Sam would be relentless and 439 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,479 Speaker 4: track him down, that my father would live with that 440 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 4: same anaude when it came to helping others. Can God 441 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 4: trust you to be blessed? Will you pass it on 442 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 4: and be a blessing? Can He trust you with healing? 443 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 4: Will you become a healer? Can He trust you with influence, 444 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 4: with new levels, with freedom? Will you let what He 445 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 4: gives you flow out to others? I believe he can. 446 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 4: I know I'm looking at faithful committed, trustworthy people, not 447 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 4: just grateful former patience. I'm looking at physicians. You may 448 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 4: not realize it, but you're a healer. You're a lifter, 449 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 4: You're an encourager. You're a blesser. And I believe and 450 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 4: declare as you strengthen your brothers, as you strengthen your sisters, 451 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 4: not only are they going to rise higher, but you're 452 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 4: going to rise higher. You're going to see new levels, 453 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 4: a blessing, healing influence, favor, the fullness of your destiny 454 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 4: in Jesus's name, and if you receive it, can you 455 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 4: say amen? Today I'd like to give you an opportunity 456 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 4: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you 457 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 4: pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll repent of 458 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 4: my sins, Come into my heart. I'll make you my 459 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 4: lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed that simple prayer, 460 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 4: we believe you got born again.
