I like to start with something funny, and 14 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: I heard about this senior citizen. 15 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,319 Speaker 2: He was driving down the. 16 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: Freeway in his brand new Corvette with the top down, 17 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: going eighty miles an hour when he saw flashing lights 18 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: from a state trooper behind him. 19 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 2: Without thinking about it. 20 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: He floored it took off to one hundred miles an hour. 21 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: The trooper flipped on his sirens. The men came to 22 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: his senses and pulled over. He said, Officer, I am 23 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. The 24 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: state trooper said, listen, sir, it's Friday four o'clock. 25 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,639 Speaker 2: My shift is over in thirty minutes. 26 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: If you'll tell me a reason why you were speeding 27 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: that I've never heard before, then I'll let you go. 28 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: The man thought about it and said, Officer, years ago, 29 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: my wife ran off with a state trooper, and I 30 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: thought you were bringing her back. 31 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: The officer said, have a great weekend. Say it like 32 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: you mean it. 33 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 34 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 35 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be 36 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 37 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 38 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 39 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you today about it's not over. 40 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 1: It's easy to give up on our dreams and think 41 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: I'll never get well, I'll never meet the right person, 42 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: never get out of this problem. 43 00:01:58,800 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: It's been too long. 44 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: I've missed too many opportunities. I've made too many mistakes. 45 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: Now God is saying it's not over. 46 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: Everything he promised you, every dream he's placed on the inside, 47 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: he still has every intention of bringing it to pass. 48 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: Your mind will tell you all the reasons why it's. 49 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 2: Not going to happen. 50 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: Just accept it. It's too late, it's not going to 51 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: work out. But God has the final say, and he's saying, 52 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: I'm still going to heal your body. I'm still going 53 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: to bring the right person into your life. I'm still 54 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: going to restore that marriage. What God started, he will finish. 55 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: Couple I know tried for seven years to have a baby. 56 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: They went through all the fertility treatments without success. They 57 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: were finally told no chance. That was one report, But 58 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: God had another report. 59 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: He said it's not over. One day. 60 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: Against all odds, the young lady got pregnant. Two years later. 61 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: They brought their baby daughter right here for us to dedicate. 62 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: What was that? 63 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: God finishing what he started. I met these parents in 64 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: the lobby recently. They had their son with them. He 65 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: looked to be in his early thirties. The mother told 66 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: how they had been estranged for twelve years and not 67 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: seen each other. Every day, this mother would pray month 68 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: after month, year after year. Didn't look like it was 69 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: doing any good. But about two weeks ago, unexpectedly, the 70 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: son knocked on the parents' front door. They reconciled. The 71 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: first thing they wanted to do together was to come 72 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: to church. The mother said, this is the happiest day 73 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: of my life. Is there something that you've given up 74 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: on you think is never going to work out? 75 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: Let these words sink deep into your spirit. It's not over. 76 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: God has not brought you this far to leave you. 77 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: Just because you don't see away doesn't mean God doesn't 78 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: have a way. Right now, the most powerful force in 79 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: the universe is at work in your life. God is 80 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: about to do a new thing. What you thought was dead. 81 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: Dreams you've given up on, promises you've let go of, 82 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: are about to come back to life. God knows how 83 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: to resurrect dead dreams that baby you were believing for, 84 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: or that dream to own your own house, to get married, 85 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: to start that business. You may think, well, it's too late, 86 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: I've missed too many opportunities. 87 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 3: Now. 88 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 2: You may have given up, but God didn't give up. 89 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: He's about to breathe new life into your dreams, into 90 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: your health, into your relationships. You're going to feel a stirring, 91 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: a new passion, a new excitement. That's God resurrecting what 92 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: he's placed on the inside. And when thoughts tell you 93 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: that it's not going to happen. Just answer them back. No, 94 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: I know a secret. 95 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 2: It's not over. 96 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: When you're still single, Yes, but it's not over. The 97 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: right person is coming. You're still not well, yes, but. 98 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 2: It's not over. Healing is headed my way. You're still 99 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 2: in that small apartment, Yes, but it's not over. My 100 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 2: new house is coming. 101 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: Your child is still off course, yes, but it's not over. 102 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 103 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: You got to get in agreement with God. 104 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: Start dreaming again, start believing again, start expecting again. Gentlemen 105 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: told me how his business had really gone down. He 106 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: owned a manufacturing company. There was one main competitor in town. 107 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: It was a national company. They were much larger and 108 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: had a lot more resources. Several years ago, when the 109 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: economy went down, it made it more and more difficult 110 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: for him to stay open. In the natural, it was 111 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: just a matter of time before he would have to close. 112 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: He was tempted to. 113 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: Get discouraged, but he knew God put this dream in 114 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: his heart. He kept being his best, believing that somehow 115 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: God would make a way. Just when he thought he 116 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: would have to close, this nal company had a change 117 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: in leadership and they decided to pull out of this market. 118 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: Instead of him closing down, his main competitor closed down. 119 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: Now he's breaking all kinds of records. He said, Joel, 120 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: if you would have told me last year that I 121 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: would be doing three times the business, I would have said, 122 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: that's impossible. What happened, God breathed in his direction. You 123 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: may not be able to beat the competition. 124 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: You don't know. God may remove the competition. 125 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: He has all kinds of ways to get you to 126 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: your destiny. The scripture talks about the death, the burial, 127 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: and the resurrection. If you're going to see a resurrection, 128 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: you can't get stuck in the first two phases. 129 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: This is where many people miss it. 130 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: They have a setback, something doesn't work out, they get discouraged, 131 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: quit believing. They end up stuck in the death phase, 132 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: so to speak. I've seen people that go through a 133 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: disappointment instead of letting it go knowing that God has 134 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: something better, they get better. Well, my business got slow, 135 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: didn't get the scholarship, the relationship didn't work out. 136 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: That's why I'm discouraged. No, you've been through the death, 137 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: you've been through the burial. 138 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: Don't stop there. Go on to phase three. You've got 139 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: a resurrection coming out. Start expecting god favor. God wants 140 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: to give you beauty for those ashes. That setback was 141 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: never meant to defeat you. 142 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 2: It was meant to promote you. 143 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: And it may be Friday in your life right now 144 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: looks kind of dark. Business is slow, the medical report 145 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: hasn't improved. My encouragement is, don't get stuck on Friday. 146 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: Sunday is coming. Get ready for God to do something new. 147 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: Your story does not end in defeat. It ends in victory, 148 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: with you accomplishing your dreams, fulfilling your purpose, healthy, hole 149 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: being a blessing to others, and if you will day 150 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: in faith, what was meant for your harm God were used. 151 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: To your advantage. God has the final say. 152 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: People cannot stop God's plan for your life. Bad breaks 153 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: can't stop it. Injustice can't stop it. Even mistakes you've made. 154 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: Don't have to stop it. 155 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: God has already taken that into account and he's saying 156 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: it's not over. 157 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: I'm going to finish what I started. 158 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,679 Speaker 1: We see this principle way back with the first family 159 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: that ever lived, Adam and Eve. 160 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 2: They were in the garden of Eden. 161 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: They were happy and healthy, everything going great until Eve 162 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: was deceived by the serpent. She convinced her husband Adam 163 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: to eat fruit from the forbidden tree. When they did, 164 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: they immediately knew they had done wrong. They ran and hid. 165 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: God came looking and said, Adam, where are you. They 166 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: were afraid they had blown it. It was their fault. 167 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,599 Speaker 1: They thought, surely God's done with us. But it's interesting 168 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: God came looking for them. You hear people say I 169 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: found God. But the truth is God wasn't lost. He 170 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: came looking for you before you could choose him. 171 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 2: He chose you. Here's the beauty. 172 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: Even when we make mistakes, even when we blow it, God. 173 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 2: Says, where are you? I want to be in relationship 174 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: with you. 175 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: Don't run away from God. Run to him. Adam said, God, 176 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: we did wrong. We ate the fruit. God said, I 177 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 1: know it. They had to stay out of the garden. 178 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: The story could have ended there, too bad. You had 179 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: your chance. 180 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: It's over. 181 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: But no matter what you've done, your life is not 182 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: supposed to end in defeat, in failure, in mediocrity. 183 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 2: It's not over. There is mercy for every mistake. In 184 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 2: Genesis three says the seed. 185 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: Of the woman will rise up and bruise the head 186 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: of the serpent. God was saying, Eve, this serpent that 187 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: tricked you, he deceived you and brought all this heartache 188 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: and pain. I'm going to make him pay for bringing 189 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: that trouble into your life. 190 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: He's not going to have the last word. He's laughing. 191 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: He's having a party now, but he's not going to 192 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: stay laughing. 193 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 2: Eve. 194 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: This is your chance to settle the score. This is 195 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: your chance to get even. I'm going to have your 196 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: seed bruce his head. This was a prophecy if you 197 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: will spoken over Eve, was a promise God put in 198 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: her heart. You can imagine how excited Eve was when 199 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: she learned that she was pregnant. She thought, this is 200 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: the child that will vindicate me. This child will make 201 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: things right. She gave birth to two sons on the same. 202 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 2: Day, Cain and Abel. She didn't know which one it 203 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 2: would be. Cain was a farmer. 204 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: Abel was a shepherd, and she did her best to 205 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: raise her boys right and teach them to love God. 206 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: But over time Cain became very jealous of a One day, 207 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: Cain was out in his field plowing the ground, Abel 208 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: came to see him, and Cain ended up killing Abel. 209 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: The first murder of the Bible. Because of this offense, 210 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: Cain had to be sent. 211 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 2: To another country. 212 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: Eve didn't just lose one son, she lost both sons 213 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: on the same day. The problem is Eve's circumstances don't 214 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: match up with what God has spoken over her. God 215 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: said the seed of a woman would bruise. 216 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 2: The serpent's head. 217 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: Didn't look like it was going to happen. One son 218 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: was dead, one was sent away. As devastated as Eve 219 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: was down deep, something said to her, this is not 220 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: the way your story is supposed to end. There are 221 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: times in life where your circumstances won't match up with 222 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: what God has put in your heart. 223 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: Every voice will tell you it's not going to happen. 224 00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 2: Just accept it, Just settle there. 225 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: You'll always be lonely, you'll always have that addiction, you'll 226 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: always struggle in your finances. No, don't believe those lies. 227 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: That is not the end of your story. You may 228 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: have gone through a loss, had a bad break, it 229 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: was unfair, but know this, it's not over. The enemy 230 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: may be laughing now, but don't worry. 231 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 2: Your time is coming. 232 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: Vindication is coming, Restoration is coming, healing is coming. It 233 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: may be Friday, but Sunday is on the way. 234 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: Eve is at this turning point. 235 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: Is she going to believe what God has spoken over her? 236 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: Or is she going to get discouraged and settle. God 237 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: said the promise would come through her seed. That means 238 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: she would have to get pregnant again. If your children 239 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: just got into an argument and one killed the other, 240 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: do you know how difficult it would be to have 241 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: a baby. And sometimes in order to move forward, you 242 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: have to risk hurt again, risk loving again, risk trusting again. 243 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: This is what Eve did she became pregnant. 244 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: She said. 245 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: In Genesis four twenty five, God has appointed me another seed. 246 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: She was saying, I've had the wind knocked out of me. 247 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: Life hasn't turned out my way. But I'm not going 248 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: to stay down. I'm not going to get bitter. I'm 249 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: not going to give up on my dreams. I know 250 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: God has the final say, and it's not over. 251 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 2: He said, He's appointed another seed. 252 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: In your difficult times, when life doesn't turn out your way, 253 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: you have to remind yourself that is not the end. 254 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: For everything you've lost, for everything that is taken, God 255 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: has already appointed another seed. Your story is not going 256 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: to end in defeat. In failure, in mediocrity. It's going 257 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: to end. 258 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 2: With you bruising the serpent's head. It's going to end 259 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 2: with God paying you back for that trouble. 260 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: Bringing you out better off than you were before. You 261 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: may be at an empty place right now. You've lost something. 262 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: You're tempted to settle, but you've got to get your 263 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: fire back. God has appointed another seed, another dream, another. 264 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 2: Relationship, another opportunity. 265 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: You are not going to die empty, lonely, depressed. That 266 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: difficulty is a sure sign that something amazing is in 267 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: your future. And Eve ended up giving birth to another son. 268 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: They named him Seth. It was through Seth's family line 269 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: that Jesus Christ, the Messiah King the Promise was fulfilled. 270 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: This story with Cain and Abel is foreshadowing what Christ 271 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: would do. 272 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: It's a picture of what was to come. 273 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: Abel, an innocent man, went to Cain's filled where he 274 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: was killed in the same way Jesus, an innocent man, 275 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: left Heaven. He left Eturnity, where he had already kicked 276 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: Satan out, and he said, Satan, I'm going to take 277 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: off all my majesty, all my glory, and I'm going 278 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: to come down as the son of Man. 279 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 2: And defeat you on your own turf. 280 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: When Cain killed Abel, Abel was a young man. It 281 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: was a premature death, the first in the scripture. 282 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: All of heaven was stunned. At thirty three years of age. 283 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: Jesus, a young man, was crucified on the cross. 284 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 2: All of Hell cheered. They thought Jesus had overstepped his bounds. 285 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: They were thinking, Hey, he beat us on his turf, 286 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: but we had the last laugh. 287 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 2: We beat him on our turf. 288 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: Scripture says God came to Cain and said, Cain, the 289 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: voice of your brother's blood is crying out to me 290 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: from the ground. 291 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: See. 292 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: Cain thought that he had finished off his brother. He 293 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: thought that he had the last word. He didn't realize 294 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: that the blood of his brother was crying out for justice. 295 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: In other words, he may have killed his body, but 296 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: his blood was still speaking. A little over two thousand 297 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: years ago, the soldiers crucified Jesus. Satan thought that it 298 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: was over, that he had finally finished him off. But 299 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: what he didn't realize is that Jesus' blood would still 300 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: be speaking today. They killed his body, but the blood speaks. 301 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: The blood says We're redeemed. The blood says we're forgiven. 302 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 2: The blood is more powerful than any sickness. The blood 303 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 2: is greater than any. 304 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: Opposition, Satan and all the demons. We're having this big party, 305 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: giving high fives, confetti coming down, champagne flowing. But in 306 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: the midst of the celebration, they see this figure coming 307 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: from a distance. They don't know who he is. They 308 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: take a quick count, and they're all accounted for It. 309 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: Person is different. His eyes are like fire, his hair 310 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: as white as wool, his face radiating with such brilliance. 311 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: They have to turn away. 312 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: He gets a little closer, and one of them says, uh, oh, 313 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: it's him. Their heart skips a beat. They shrink back 314 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: in fear. Just when they thought it couldn't get any worse. 315 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: The music kicks in. This is my version. 316 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: They thought they had killed Jesus. They thought they had 317 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: finished him off once and for all. But Jesus said, hey, 318 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: put the celebration on hold, stop the confetti, blow out 319 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: the candles. 320 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 2: I've got an announcement to make. It's not over. I'm 321 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 2: still alive. Jesus. Jesus was the original party crasher. 322 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: He went in, defeated the enemy, took away the keys 323 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: of death in hell. He drugged Satan through the corridor 324 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: so all the forces of. 325 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 2: Darkness could see him. 326 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: Dethroned, demoralized, powerless, Jesus rose up and said, I am 327 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: he that lives. I was dead, but I'm alive forevermore. 328 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: Because he lives, we can live. The same power that 329 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: raised him up is on the inside of you and me. 330 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 2: You are not weak, You are not lacking. You are 331 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 2: full of resurrection power. 332 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: No obstacles too big for you, no dream too great, 333 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: no sickness too powerful. You have the greatest force in 334 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 1: the universe on the inside. 335 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 2: And when it. 336 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: Doesn't look good, thoughts start telling you that it's over. 337 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: Just put your shoulders back, get a second wind by faith. 338 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 2: Here that music kicking in. 339 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 1: That means God is fighting for you. That's his blood 340 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: still speaking. It's saying you've got a right to be free. 341 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: You've got a right to. 342 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 2: Live healthy, whole, blessed, victorious. 343 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: No matter what comes your way in life, you gotta 344 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: have this attitude is not over. The enemy may hit 345 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: you with his best shot, but his best will never 346 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: be enough. 347 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 2: When it's all said. 348 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: And done, you'll still be sand and strong, and just 349 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: as Abel's blood cried out for justice. When somebody does 350 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: you wrong, you go through a bad break, you're dealing 351 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: with the sickness. You have an advantage because you're a 352 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: child of the Most High. His blood is crying out 353 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: for you. What you're going through does not go unnoticed. 354 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: God sees every tear, every lonely night, every injustice. 355 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 2: He's got you in the palm of his hand. 356 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: He told the Israelites when they were in slavery, I 357 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: have seen the affliction of my people. I've seen how 358 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: they're being mistreated, and I am coming down to do 359 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: something about it. 360 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 2: That's the blood still speaking. 361 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: If you will stay in faith, the enemy won't have 362 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: the last laugh. 363 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 2: You will. 364 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: God will vindicate you. He'll make your wrongs right. He'll 365 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: pay you back for that injustice. God has already lined 366 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: up a comeback for every setback, a new beginning for 367 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: every loss. It maybe Friday, but get ready, Sunday is coming. 368 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: I met a young man in Chicago by the name 369 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 1: of Daniel. 370 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 2: Growing up, he loved. 371 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: To play outside with his friends and ride his bike. 372 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: Life was good, but at the age of twelve, everything 373 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: suddenly changed. He was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed 374 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: with an aggressive brain tumor. The doctors performed emergency surgery 375 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: to spare his life, but when he woke up, he 376 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: had lost all of his motor skills. Couldn't walk, couldn't talk, 377 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: couldn't feed himself. Half of his body was paralyzed. Here 378 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: one moment he was out having fun, playing like other kids. 379 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: The next moment, his whole world had collapsed. It was Friday, 380 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: looked dark, looked like it was over. Daniel spent a 381 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: hundred days in the hospital. In the months to come, 382 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: he would have to relearn how to talk, relearn how 383 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: to walk. His mother had to quit her job to 384 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: take care of him. His father missed three months from work. 385 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: The chemotherapy and radiation were constantly making him sick. Life 386 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: through him a curve. Could have gotten depressed, could have 387 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: gotten bitter and given up, But not Daniel. From the 388 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: time he was five years old, every Sunday morning, he 389 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: and his family would watch our television broadcast there in Chicago. 390 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 2: All through the week, he would put on DVDs of 391 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: my messages. 392 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: He would hear these words of faith going into him. 393 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: You're a victor, not a victim. You can do all 394 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: things through Christ. No weapon formed against you. 395 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 2: Will prosper. 396 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy is coming. 397 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: Daniel never knew one day what kind of battle he 398 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: would have to fight. He would send me notes thanking 399 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: me for my messages, and he'd draw pictures and put 400 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: my sayings on. And this is the most recent of 401 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: received to him. It's a beautiful picture of a church. 402 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 2: It says thank you. 403 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: On the inside, he writes, I have fought the good fight. 404 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: Now I'm happy to report I am one hundred percent 405 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: cancer friend Daniel right here on the front round with 406 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: his family, a mighty man of faith. 407 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,959 Speaker 2: God bless you. Please be seated. 408 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: Maybe today, like Daniel, you're facing a major obstacle. Let 409 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: me tell you nothing is too hard for our God. 410 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: He made your body. He can correct what's wrong. Don't 411 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: believe those lies that you'll never get healthy. Just learn 412 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: to live with it. That's one report. But there's another report. 413 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: It says God is restoring health back into youth, says 414 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: that you will live and not die. God has the 415 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: final say, and he's saying it's not over. I watched 416 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: the clip of a college football game. The Stanford Cardinals 417 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: were playing the California Bears, and Stanford had he just 418 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: scored a field goal, they were ahead with four seconds 419 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: to go in the game. 420 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 2: All they had to do was kick. 421 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,959 Speaker 1: The ball off to the other team, tackle the player, 422 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: and the game would be over. 423 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 2: Well, they kicked it off. 424 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: The California player caught the ball, ran about twenty yards 425 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: and he was swarmed by Stanford players. 426 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 2: Looked like he was down. 427 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: The Stanford marching band rushed onto the field to celebrate 428 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: the victory, so excited. What they didn't realize is just 429 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: before he was down, somehow he lateraled the ball to a. 430 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 2: Teammate and he took off running. When he was almost down, 431 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 2: he lateraled it to another teammate. This happened six times. 432 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: It looked like a play you'd see in your backyard 433 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: playing football. But after that sixth lateral, the California player 434 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: was headed to the end zone. The only problem is 435 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: the whole Stanford band was on the field. He had 436 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: to zigzag through the band members, through the instruments, finally 437 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: made it into the end zone to score a touchdown 438 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: and miraculously win the game. 439 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 2: What's my point? 440 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: Sometimes the enemy will send his band on your field. 441 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: Before the game is over, he'll start celebrating like he's 442 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: already defeated you. What he doesn't realize is you're not 443 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: down yet. You need to tell him get your marching 444 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:23,719 Speaker 1: band off of my field. 445 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: This game is not over. 446 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: You may think I'm down, but I've got resurrection power. Listen, 447 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: there is a force in you that cannot be defeated. 448 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: It raised Christ from the dead, and it will always 449 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: cause you to triumph. 450 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 2: This is what Job had to do. In the scripture. 451 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 1: He went through a period where everything that could go 452 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: wrong did. He lost his health, his business, his family. 453 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: It looked like it was over. The marching band was 454 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: definitely on his field. But in the midst of that difficulty, 455 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: he looked up to the heavens and said, I know 456 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: my Redeemer lives. He was saying, I know God's in control. 457 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: As long as he's on the throne, it's not over. 458 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: He has the final say. Nine months later, Job not 459 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 1: only came out, but he came out with twice. 460 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 2: What he had before. 461 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: That's the way God is. He'll make the enemy pay 462 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: for bringing that trouble. The scripture says, the latter part 463 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: of Job's life was more blessed than the first part. 464 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: No matter what you've been through, God wants the rest 465 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: of your life to be more blessed, more rewarding, more. 466 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 2: Enjoyable than anything you've experienced. 467 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: You have not laughed your best laugh, you have not 468 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: dreamed your best dream, you have not sung your best song. 469 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 2: It's still out in front of you. Isaiah put it. 470 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: This way, because you've got a double dose of trouble, 471 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: your inheritance in the land will be double, and your 472 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: joy will go on forever. You may feel like Daniel, 473 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: like Job, you got a double dose of trouble. Don't 474 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: go around complaining that trouble qualified you for double Shake 475 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: off what didn't work out, and get ready for a 476 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: double dose of favor, a double dose of God's blessing, 477 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 1: a double dose of healing. 478 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 2: Friends. It's not over what God promised you. 479 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: He will bring to pass. When thoughts tell you otherwise, 480 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: dismiss them. Tell the enemy get his marching band off 481 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: of your field. Remember the blood is still speaking for you. 482 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: It's saying you have a right to be free, to 483 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: be healthy, to live victoriously. 484 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 2: If you will have this, it's not over attitude. 485 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: I believe and declare, just like God did for Daniel, 486 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: he will restore what's been stolen. 487 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 2: He's going to resurrect dead dreams. You will rise higher. 488 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: Overcome obstacles, and become everything He's created you to be 489 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: in Jesus' name If you receive it, can you say 490 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: him in today? We never like to close our broadcast 491 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: without giving you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord 492 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: of your life. 493 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 2: Would you pray with me? 494 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: Just say Lord, Jesus, I repent on my sins. 495 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 496 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 497 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: born again. 498 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: Get in a good Bible based church. Keep God first place. 499 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 2: He's going to take you places that you've never dreamed of. 500 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 4: Sometimes the circumstances of life can be overwhelmingly negative. What 501 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 4: should we do when we experience these kinds of negative 502 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 4: reports and realities? 503 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: Our life is like a container. It can only hold 504 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: so much. When we allow negative things in, like worry, guilt, 505 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: and unforgiveness, that's taking up space for the good things 506 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: that belong to you. That's why I wrote my book, 507 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: Empty Out the Negative.
