Speaker 4: to come into your homes, and if you're ever in

41
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 4: our area, please stop buy be a part of one

42
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 4: of our services. I'll promise you will make you feel

43
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 4: right at home. I like to start with something funny,

44
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: and I heard about this elderly couple. They were sitting

45
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: in a swing celebrating their sixtieth wedding anniversary. Feeling romantic,

46
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 4: the husband said to his wife, honey, our love is

47
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 4: tried and true. She had difficulty hearing it and ask

48
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 4: him to repeat it. He said it louder, I said,

49
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 4: our love is tried and true. She still couldn't hear him.

50
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 4: Said what would you? Please speak up? Frustrated, he shouted,

51
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 4: I said, our love is tried and true. She said,

52
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 4: well fine, I'm sick of you too say it like

53
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 4: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what

54
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 4: it says. I am. I have what it says I have.

55
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: I can do what it says I can do. Today

56
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 4: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confessed.

57
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 4: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

58
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about the danger

60
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 4: of dry places. It's easy to lose our passion for life.

61
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 4: At one time, we were excited. We look forward to

62
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 4: each day. We were believing for our dreams. We love

63
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 4: to laugh. But over time, if we're not careful and

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 4: things haven't turned out the way we thought, will become dry.

65
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 4: When you're dry, life has lost its flavor. You smile

66
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 4: that there's no real joy behind it. You laugh with

67
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 4: your friends, but it's not genuine. You act normal in

68
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 4: front of people, but alone you're discouraged. You wonder what's wrong.

69
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 4: Sometimes we're dry because we're tired. The battles have taken

70
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 4: longer than we thought. We can be dry because we've

71
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 4: been hurt. Somebody did us wrong. Instead of letting it go,

72
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 4: we've held onto it. Some people are dry because they

73
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: have the wrong perspective. They think their challenges are too big,

74
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 4: that they'll never work out. But there's a problem with

75
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 4: being dry. It doesn't just steal our joy, doesn't just

76
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 4: affect our attitude. It's deeper than that. The scripture says

77
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: when an unclean spirit leaves a person, it walks through

78
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: dry places seeking rest. When we're dry, we've stepped into

79
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: the enemy's territory. That's where he lives. And sometimes he

80
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 4: doesn't have to come to us. We go to him.

81
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 4: When you feel the blaws, no passion thoughts tell you

82
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 4: nothing good is in your future. You'll never meet the

83
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: right person, you'll never get out of debt. Recognize that's

84
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 4: the enemy trying to get you into his territory. When

85
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 4: you're positive, hopeful, full of praise. That's God's territory. The

86
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: enemy can't touch you. He can't cross that line. That's

87
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: why he works over time in our thought life. His

88
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: goal is to get us down and discouraged. He knows

89
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 4: when we're dry, we're giving him access. We're coming onto

90
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 4: his field. That's where he has the right to control

91
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 4: and manipulate. And maybe you have a good reason to

92
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 4: be dry. Life has thrown you some curves. You don't

93
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 4: see anything good up ahead. That's when you have to

94
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: dig down deep and say no, I am not going

95
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 4: to live discouraged, dragging through the day focused on what's wrong.

96
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 4: I know God is on the throne. I know he's

97
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: bigger than these problems. I know his plans for me

98
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 4: are for good. So I'm going to live this day

99
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 4: in faith, expecting his favor. You have to take control

100
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 4: of your thought life. That's where the battle's taking place,

101
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 4: and thoughts will tell you things like you're a victim.

102
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 4: Life hasn't treated you fairly. Your spouse doesn't love you

103
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 4: like he should. That company doesn't appreciate you. If you

104
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: let those thoughts play long enough, they'll keep you from

105
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 4: your destiny, Paul said in the book I Acts I

106
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: Think Myself happened. You can think yourself out of a

107
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 4: dry place. You got into discouragement by thinking about how

108
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: wrong something was, thinking about who hurts you, thinking about

109
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 4: how things aren't going to improve. You've thought yourself into defeat.

110
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 4: Now turn it around and start thinking yourself into victory.

111
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 4: What God started in my life, he's going to finish.

112
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 4: No good thing will he withhold because I walk up rightly,

113
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 4: Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days

114
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 4: of my life. What was meant for my harm? Lord?

115
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 4: I want to thank you right now you're turning to

116
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 4: my advantage. Get your mind going in the right direction.

117
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 4: Think yourself into joy. Think yourself into a good mood.

118
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 4: Think yourself into a positive, faith filled attitude. You cannot

119
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: live on autopilot and just think whatever comes your way.

120
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 4: If you do, negative thoughts will dominate. You have to

121
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 4: be proactive. Don't wait for thoughts of faith and hope

122
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 4: to come. Think them on purpose. If you'll fill your

123
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 4: mind with the right thoughts, there won't be any room

124
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 4: for the wrong thoughts. And when you feel the blaws,

125
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: you need to get into an environment that's uplifting. Don't

126
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 4: come home from work and sit in a dark room

127
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: and watch sad movies. Listen to sad songs and think

128
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: sad thoughts, and eat sad foods, and hang around with

129
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: sad people. Sad times five equals real sad. Open up

130
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 4: the windows, let some light in the room, put on

131
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: some inspiring music. Maybe go outside and take a walk. Exercise,

132
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 4: get your endorphins kicking in. God has put certain hormones

133
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 4: in us. When we activate them, they give us a

134
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 4: boost and make us more passionate. They help to take

135
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 4: away the negativity. But it's easy to live a very

136
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 4: sedentary lifestyle, so you can't override natural law and expect

137
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: to feel good. You need to exercise, You need proper sleep,

138
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 4: You need to eat healthy. Practical things can keep us

139
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 4: from being passionate and having the vision and energy that

140
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 4: we should. When you're dry, it's important who you spend

141
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 4: time with. You can't afford to hang around other dry people.

142
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: Misery loves company. Find some friends that are happy, positive, energetic.

143
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 4: You need people around you that brighten your day, that

144
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: lift your spirits, people that are fun, people that make

145
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 4: you laugh. Many times we gravitate to people that are

146
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 4: like us. If we're discouraged, we find discouraged people. If

147
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 4: we have addictions, we find others that have addictions. You

148
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 4: need to spend time with people that have what you want,

149
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 4: not that struggle in the same area. If you have

150
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: difficulties in your marriage, don't find someone in that same

151
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 4: situation and sit around and talk about how bad your

152
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 4: spouses are, how unfair life is. Talking about the problems.

153
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 4: Reliving the hurts is only going to pull you down.

154
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 4: It's not going to make things improve. The situation may

155
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: not change, but you can change how you're responding. Isaiah said,

156
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: a rise from the depression in which the circumstances have

157
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: kept you rise to a new life. Sometimes we're waiting

158
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 4: for God to change how we feel. God make me happy,

159
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 4: God cheer me up. The truth is God is waiting

160
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 4: on us. You walked into that drive place. The good

161
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 4: news is you can walk out of it. A rise

162
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 4: from the depression, Shake off the blows, shake off what

163
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 4: didn't work out This day is a gift from God.

164
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 4: You may have some difficulties, but most likely there's a

165
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 4: lot more right in your life than there is wrong.

166
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 4: Some people would love to trade places with you, they

167
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 4: would gladly take your life. Come out of that dry

168
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 4: place that's given the enemy access. When you arise. What

169
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 4: will happen is God will arise when you come over

170
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 4: to his side. You'll get your joy back, your passion back.

171
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 4: You weren't made to drag through the day, discouraged, enduring life.

172
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 4: You were made to enjoy life. In the scripture, David

173
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 4: had seen God do amazing things. Take him from a

174
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 4: shepherd boy, no experience, no training, chosen to be the king.

175
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 4: He defeated Goliath and became an overnight hero. He outlasted

176
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 4: King Saul, took the throne. He led Israel from one

177
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 4: victory to another. No greater leader than David. You would

178
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 4: think he would live on the mountaintop, never have a

179
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 4: down day. That's not the case. We're all tempted to

180
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 4: get dry Psalm forty two. David was so discouraged he

181
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 4: didn't want to go on. Thoughts told him that he

182
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 4: had seen his best days, that the opposition was too big.

183
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 4: He made the mistake of believing those lies. He ended

184
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 4: up in a dry place. He could have stayed there,

185
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 4: lived defeated. Instead, he said to himself, why are you

186
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: cast down? O my soul hope in the Lord. He

187
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 4: was saying, I may feel discouraged, but I'm not going

188
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 4: to let feelings rule my life. I'm not going to

189
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 4: let these negative thoughts keep playing. He talked to himself, David,

190
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 4: get your hopes up. He understood, when we're dry, we

191
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 4: stepped into the enemy's territory. We're giving him rights that

192
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 4: he shouldn't have. It's not that God has abandoned us,

193
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 4: not that God stepped off the throne. It's the fact

194
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 4: that we walked over to the other side. I'm asking

195
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 4: you to stay out of dry places. Don't let your

196
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 4: mind think of all the negative, relive everything wrong in

197
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 4: your life. It may be true, but don't go there.

198
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: The flesh loves to feel sorry for itself. Think about

199
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 4: what you didn't get, how you weren't raised right. Just

200
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 4: another day, I gotta drag through it. As long as

201
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 4: you think that way, you're going to live defeated. You

202
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: have to do like David and make the decision. I'm

203
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 4: coming out of the dry place. It starts by changing

204
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 4: your thinking. God's plans for you are for good. There

205
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 4: are opportunities in your future bigger than you can imagine.

206
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 4: That sickness is not permanent, That financial difficulty is not

207
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 4: how your story ends. That addiction is not going to

208
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 4: hinder you your whole life. God has the final say. Now,

209
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 4: while you're waiting for him to change things, why don't

210
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: you thank him that it's on the way. Why don't

211
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 4: you be grateful for what's right in your life. We

212
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 4: have to guard our mind to step over into a

213
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: dry place.

214
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: Now.

215
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that you're dry because you haven't had

216
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 4: any victories. You haven't been successful like David. You may

217
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: have seen God do amazing things, protect you, promote you,

218
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: bring great people across your path. You can testify of

219
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: the goodness of God, but that doesn't exempt us from

220
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 4: becoming dry. The discouragement test comes to every person times

221
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 4: when we're tired. We've won some victories, we've been our best,

222
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 4: but we don't know if we can keep standing strong.

223
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 4: If you'll get your fire back, God is going to

224
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 4: renew your strength. He's going to give you passion, energy,

225
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 4: vitality like you've never seen. Your second wind is on

226
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 4: its way. God is about to breathe on your life

227
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: in a new way. The victories you've seen in the

228
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 4: past are going to peale in comparison to what God

229
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 4: is about to do. Psalm sixty eight says, you sent

230
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 4: and abundant rain, O Lord, to refresh the weary land.

231
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 4: You may be weary, you fought hard, but doesn't seem

232
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 4: like that discouragement will go away. God knows how you feel,

233
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 4: He knows what you're up against. You may not be

234
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 4: able to walk out of the drive place on your own.

235
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 4: Don't worry. God is about to send an abundant rain

236
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 4: to refresh you. He's going to make things happen that

237
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 4: you couldn't make happen. You're going to see an abundance

238
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 4: of joy, an abundance of strength, an abundance of health,

239
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 4: an abundance of resources. The forces that have held you

240
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 4: back are being broken right now. The enemies you see

241
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 4: today you will see no more now. When you're tempted

242
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 4: to be discouraged, turn it around. Father, Thank you for

243
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 4: the rain that's coming. Thank you for the healing, the favor,

244
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 4: the breakthroughs, the right people, your hopes. So start expecting

245
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 4: the abundant rain. That's the way our God is. He

246
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 4: could have just said, I'm going to send rain to

247
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 4: refresh the weary land. That would be good, we'd be grateful.

248
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 4: But notice the heart of God. He said, in effect,

249
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 4: I'm going to make the enemy pay for bringing the trouble.

250
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 4: I'm gonna make him pay for making you dry. I'm

251
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 4: going to send an abundant rain. I'm going to send

252
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 4: more than enough, exceedingly abundantly, above and beyond. Get ready

253
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 4: for overflowing. Get ready. God is about to exceed your expectations.

254
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 4: You are coming out of that dry place in the

255
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 4: more than enough. But sometimes we want to be passionate,

256
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 4: but the feeling is gone. We don't have the same

257
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 4: drive and emotion like we used to have, and we

258
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: think something is wrong. But psychologists have discovered what they

259
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 4: call the happiness curve. Research shows most people are they're

260
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 4: happiest at twenty years old. From there, it goes down

261
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 4: till you're fifty. At fifty, it starts coming back up.

262
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: At seventy, you're as happy as you were at twenty,

263
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 4: But it doesn't stop there. It continues to rise. After seventy,

264
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 4: you're the happiest and most fulfilled than you've ever been.

265
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 4: That's what God said. Your latter days will be better

266
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 4: than your former days. But we see people that are

267
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 4: going through a midlife crisis. They have no passion, They

268
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: are burned out, they don't feel like going on. That's

269
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 4: at fifty year low. It's not unusual. You're not the

270
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 4: only one that feels that way. Don't give up on

271
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 4: your dreams. Don't go over to a dry place. Some

272
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 4: of what you're facing is just the natural rhythms of life.

273
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 4: But the people that stay happy, the people that don't

274
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 4: go down and get discouraged, are the people that rule

275
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 4: their thoughts, the people that stay full of hope, the

276
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 4: people that know that God Good is still on the throne.

277
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 4: Don't believe those lies that you've seen your best days.

278
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 4: You wouldn't be alive if God didn't have something amazing

279
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 4: in front of you. I have a friend. He was

280
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 4: raised in a low income family here in Houston. His

281
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 4: father worked as a yardman, mowing people's lawns for thirty

282
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 4: one years. He died when the young man was thirteen.

283
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 4: His mother raised nine children by herself. She worked as

284
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 4: a maid at the Rice Hotel downtown. She never learned

285
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 4: how to drive. She'd get up early in the morning,

286
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 4: make her kids breakfast, get them off to school, then

287
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 4: she would take the bus to work. She didn't have

288
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 4: a lot of money, but she had a lot of faith.

289
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 4: When times got tough and didn't look like they were

290
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 4: gonna make it, she would tell her children, don't worry,

291
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 4: Tomorrow will be better than today. They heard that over

292
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 4: and over. She kept speaking faith into them. She knew

293
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 4: God would make a way where they didn't see anyway.

294
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 4: Against the odds. The young man was able to attend college,

295
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 4: and he excelled in school. He went on to Harvard

296
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 4: University and earned his law degree. He served twenty seven

297
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 4: years in the Texas House of Representatives. Today, our friend

298
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 4: Sylvester Turner is the mayor of Houston. Mayor Turner's mother

299
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 4: was in a dry place. She couldn't help it. It

300
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 4: was the hand she had been dealt. But she didn't

301
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 4: let the dryness get in her. If she would have

302
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 4: lived defeated, complaining about how unfair life was going to

303
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 4: work with a sour attitude, he wouldn't be the mayor.

304
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 4: When the odds are against you, you don't see how

305
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 4: it can work out. Instead of being discouraged, do like

306
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 4: she did. Keep reminding yourself, tomorrow will be better than today.

307
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: That's not just being positive. That's what the scripture says,

308
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 4: the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter. You

309
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 4: haven't seen your best days. God has good breaks already

310
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 4: lined up in your future. If he showed you right now,

311
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 4: you couldn't fathom it. If somebody would have told Mayor

312
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 4: Turner at thirteen, in a single parent home, no father, mother,

313
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 4: raising nine children, working as a maid, that one day

314
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 4: you'll go to Harvard. One day you'll lead the fourth

315
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 4: largest city in America. One day you'll stand before kings

316
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 4: and presidents, he probably wouldn't have believed it. He could

317
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 4: have thought, not me, that's impossible. I'm in a dry place.

318
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 4: I'm in a limited environment. My obstacles are insurmountable. God

319
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 4: is not limited by what you don't have. He's not

320
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 4: limited by how you were raised. He's not limited by

321
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 4: the opposition. Mayor Turner kept that phrase playing over and over.

322
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 4: Tomorrow will be better than today. That was fuel for

323
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 4: his faith, fuel for his dreams. But sometimes we don't

324
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 4: go to the dry place. The drive place comes to us.

325
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 4: The key is don't let the dryness get in you.

326
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 4: Stay full of hope, keep thanking God that the abundant

327
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 4: rain is on the way, keep expecting things to change.

328
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 4: Have that attitude. I know breakthroughs are coming, I know

329
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 4: healing is on the way. I know doors are going

330
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 4: to open that I could not open. That's how you

331
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 4: stay out of the dry place. You don't focus on

332
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 4: how big the problem is. You focus on how big

333
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 4: your God is. One Kings, chapter nineteen. The prophet Elijah

334
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 4: had just seen one of the greatest victories of his life.

335
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 4: Four hundred and fifty false prophets that worship the God

336
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 4: bail had come against him. Elijah called down fire from

337
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 4: heaven and they were all killed. When the king's wife,

338
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 4: Jezebel heard what happened, she was furious. She said word

339
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 4: to Elijah, saying, if I don't kill you by this

340
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 4: time tomorrow, then I'll kill myself. Elijah took off, running

341
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 4: for his life. It's funny. He wasn't afraid of four

342
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty men, but he is scared to death

343
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 4: of one woman. He ran as fast and as far

344
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,239
Speaker 4: away as he could. He dropped his assistant off at

345
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 4: the city, traveled another day out into the desert, sat

346
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 4: down under a tree. He was so discouraged, so depressed,

347
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 4: he didn't want to live. He said, God I'm done,

348
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 4: take me on home. Here. He had just seen the

349
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 4: greatest miracle of his life. Twenty four hours later, he

350
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 4: was at his lowest moment. Just because you have great

351
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 4: victories doesn't mean you're not going to have to fight discouragement.

352
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 4: You may have a great testimony, but there will be

353
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 4: other tests. Elijah was in the desert in a dry place,

354
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 4: so tired he fell asleep, hoping he wouldn't wait back up.

355
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 4: You would think God would say, Elijah, what's wrong with you?

356
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 4: Of all people, why are you discouraged? You've seen my

357
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 4: power again and again. I'm done with you. God never

358
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 4: gives up on us. While he was sleeping, an angel

359
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 4: came woke him up and said, Elijah, get up and eat.

360
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 4: There was a jar of water by his side and

361
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: hot bread baking over some calls. God is so good

362
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 4: He didn't just bring him food. He cooked him a meal.

363
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 4: Elijah ate that meal, fell back asleep. He was tired, exhausted.

364
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 4: That's one reason he felt like giving up. You don't

365
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 4: make good decisions when you're worn out. The angel woke

366
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 4: him up a second time till Elijah eats some more.

367
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 4: There's a long journey up ahead. The first meal was

368
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 4: for where he had been. The second meal was for

369
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: where he was going. And God never just brings you out.

370
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 4: He always gives you a provision for what's ahead. You

371
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 4: may have had your meal for where you've been, but

372
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 4: get ready, a meal is coming for where you're going.

373
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 4: New levels of talent, increase, favor vision. Elijah ran for

374
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 4: forty days, ended up hiding in a cave on Mount Sinai.

375
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 4: He was still afraid, discouraged, thinking his life was over.

376
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 4: Verse nine says the Lord came to him in the

377
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 4: cave and said, Elijah, what are you doing here? Now?

378
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 4: I don't believe God was just talking about the location.

379
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 4: He was saying, what are you doing here in your mind?

380
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 4: Why are you looking at this situation from the wrong perspective?

381
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 4: Why do you think this lady is more powerful than me?

382
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 4: Like Elijah, you may not see how your situation could

383
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 4: work out in your health, your finances, or relationship. You're worried, discourage,

384
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 4: losing sleep. God is saying, what you do in here?

385
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 4: Don't you know? I am still on the throne. I

386
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 4: control the universe. I've brought you out in the past,

387
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna bring you out in the future. Elija say, God,

388
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 4: I'm discouraged because I'm the only prophet alive. I'm the

389
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 4: only one that hasn't bowed down to Bell and now

390
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 4: they're trying to kill me too. When you're discouraged, when

391
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 4: you're in a dry place, it's easy to have an

392
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 4: exaggerated view of your problem. I'm the only one that

393
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 4: has all these bad breaks. I'm the only one that

394
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 4: has a boss that treats me like this. God said, Elijah,

395
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 4: you're not the only one. I have seven thousand prophets

396
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 4: that have not bowed down. Take the pressure off. You're

397
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 4: not the only one facing what you're up against. People

398
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 4: have been where you are. God brought them out. He's

399
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 4: going to bring you out too. God told Elijah to

400
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 4: come out of the cave, come out of hiding, and

401
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 4: stand on the side of the mountain. There was a

402
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 4: huge windstorm like a tornado, so strong that rocks were

403
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 4: flying through the air, dust so thick you couldn't see

404
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 4: anything that passed. Then there was a great earthquake, the

405
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 4: ground shook, rocks came tumbling down that passed. There was

406
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 4: a huge fire burned everything around him that passed. Then

407
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 4: there was the sound of a gentle whisper, a still

408
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 4: small voice. After all those huge signs, God had his attention.

409
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 4: Elijah leaned in to listen closely. The voice whispered, what

410
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 4: are you doing here? God asked him a second time,

411
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 4: Why are you depressed over a problem that's only temporary.

412
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 4: Elijah thought his life was over, when in fact, in

413
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 4: just a few days he met Elisha, a young man

414
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 4: that he mentored. Elisha did twice as many miracles as Elijah.

415
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 4: Elijah's life wasn't over. He was about to come in

416
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 4: to double the impact. Those thoughts that are telling you

417
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 4: it's all downhill. You have too many problems. The obstacles

418
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 4: are too big. God is going to do for you

419
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 4: what he did for Elijah. You're coming in to double.

420
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 4: That's why the enemy is trying to stop you so hard.

421
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 4: The wind storm, Elijah faced, the earthquake, the fire that

422
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 4: was the enemy bringing his biggest challenges. But when it

423
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 4: was all said and done, Elijah was still standing strong.

424
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 4: We see this principle with Jesus. He was in the desert,

425
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 4: in a dry place. He was tempted three times by Satan.

426
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 4: The final temptation was the biggest. Satan said, if you'll

427
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 4: bow down before me. I'll give you all the kingdoms

428
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 4: of the world. That was his last attempt to try

429
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 4: to deceive him. Jesus wouldn't give in. Immediately, an angel

430
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: came to strengthen Jesus. You may feel like you're in

431
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 4: a desert. The storms, the winds, the challenges. They've done

432
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 4: all they could to stop you, but you're still standing.

433
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 4: Jezebel didn't get you. The windstorm didn't harm you. The

434
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 4: earthquake didn't take you out. You stood strong. You passed

435
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 4: the test. Now, like with Jesus and Elijah, the Angel

436
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 4: is coming to strengthen you. Things are about to change

437
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 4: in your favor. Negative situations are about to turn around.

438
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 4: What you're praying about is on the way. Now do

439
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 4: your part. Stay out of the dry places, don't go

440
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 4: over into the enemy's territory. In your mind. Quit thinking

441
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 4: about what's not going to work out. All those challenges

442
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 4: you face, that was the enemy doing his best, but

443
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 4: his best was not enough. Now you may be tired

444
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 4: from fighting, but get ready. God is about to send

445
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 4: an abundant rain to repress you. I believe in declare.

446
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 4: Breakthroughs are coming, Healing is coming, Promotion is coming. New

447
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 4: love are coming the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name.

448
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 4: If you receive it, can you say him in Today?

449
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 4: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

450
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 4: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

451
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 4: Just say Lord Jesus, I'll repent of my sins. Come

452
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 4: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.

453
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 4: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

454
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 4: born again. Get in a good Bible based church, Keep

455
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 4: God first place, Victorian. I'll be right back to speak

456
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 4: a blessing over you.

457
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,280
