00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joeln Victoria. Thanks for listening to our

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you enjoy

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share

00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: it with a friend. We appreciate you and pray for

00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: God's very best in your life. Now, God bless you.

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: It's a joy to come into your homes, and if

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: you're ever in our area, please stop y be a

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: part of one of our services. I promise you we'll

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: make you feel right at home. I'd like to start

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: with something funny, and I heard about this six year

11
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: old boy. He was standing in the church lobby staring

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: at a large plaque on the wall. It was filled

13
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: with names with small American flags by their side. He

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: asked the pastor what it meant. The pastor explained how

15
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: that was a memorial to all the young men and

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: women that died in the service. The little boy stood

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: there silently, very concerned. He finally looked up and asked,

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: was it the eight thirty or eleven o'clock service? Say

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I

20
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: am what it says. I am, I have what it

21
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: says I have, I can do what it says I

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: can do today. I will be taught the word of God.

23
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

26
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: the fight for your future. We all have things that

27
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: come against us in life. People that aren't fair, a

28
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 1: sickness that won't seem to go away, or a setback

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: in our finances. Sometimes it was no fault of our own.

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: We were born into difficulties. Parents that weren't around, depression

31
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: and addictions that keep getting passed down. We wonder why

32
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: am I having this opposition? Why was I raised in

33
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: an unhealthy childhood? Why did this company let me go

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: after all these years. It's because there's something in you

35
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: that the enemy he's trying to stop. Those bad breaks

36
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: were not random. You weren't just unlucky. Those were strategic attacks.

37
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: If the enemy wasn't threatened by you, he wouldn't be

38
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: trying to hold you back. If he couldn't see greatness

39
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: in you, he wouldn't waste his time bringing those challenges.

40
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: When you gave your life to Christ, God marked you,

41
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: He said you're mine. He put that crown of favor

42
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: on your head. That's great, But the challenge is you

43
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: became a target to the enemy. He knows you're destined

44
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: to take new ground. He knows God has favored you

45
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: to leave your mark, so he's going to work overtime

46
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: to try to stop you. Many times, the enemy knows

47
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: who we are even before we realize who we are.

48
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: When David was a teenager working out in the shepherd's fields,

49
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: he seemed as ordinary as can be. He didn't have

50
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: a significant position taking care of his father's sheep. He

51
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: didn't come from wealth and influence. They were a low

52
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: income family. Nothing about David that stood out. Why did

53
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: his father leave him in the shepherd's fields When Samuel

54
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: came to anoint one of the sons as the next king,

55
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: was no big deal to bring him in. Why did

56
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: he disrespect David and look down on him like that

57
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: when David took lunch to his brothers when they were

58
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: in the army. Why did his oldest brother be little

59
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: David and make fun of him? Why was he jealous?

60
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: David wasn't intimidating, didn't seem like he was any threat

61
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: to them. But the enemy can see things in you

62
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: that you may not see in yourself. David saw himself

63
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: as ordinary, but even the enemy knew he was a

64
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: giant killer. He knew he was a history maker. That's

65
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: why he came against David so strongly. Many of the

66
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: difficulties you faced, things that didn't make sense, opposition that

67
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere, people that turned on you, it's

68
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: because there's a giant killer in you. There's a history maker.

69
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: You may not be able to see it yet, but

70
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: even the enemy can see there's greatness in you. Have

71
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: a new perspective. Those difficulties are a sign something amazing

72
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: is in your future. Mark Chapter five. There was a

73
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: man that was possessed with evil spirits. It had gotten

74
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: so bad no one could control him. They sent him

75
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, to

76
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: a place called the Gatines, where he could live among

77
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: the tombs in a graveyard, a deserted place. They tried

78
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: to chain him up, but he was so strong he

79
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: would break the chains all through the night and day.

80
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: He would wander through the tombs wearing no clothes, cutting

81
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: himself and screaming. This man didn't look like he had

82
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: much of a chance deranged in his mind, society had

83
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: written him off. I can imagine some nights there were

84
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: moments of sanity where he would look up and say, God,

85
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: please help me. Why am I so tormented? God? I

86
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: want to go back home. It looked like this was

87
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,239
Speaker 1: his destiny. People had given up on him, But God

88
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: never gives up on us. Nobody is too far gone.

89
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: Don't write your child off, don't write your neighbor off,

90
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: your cousin off. May seem like they're too bad, too addicted,

91
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: too depressed, too far off. Course, the enemy wouldn't be

92
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: fighting them that hard if there wasn't something amazing on

93
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: the inside of them. Jesus was in Galilee, teaching people

94
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: on the shore. They finished that day. Instead of going

95
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: to rest where he normally did, he told the disciples

96
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: he wanted to cross to the other side of the

97
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: lake where the man was. In the middle of the night,

98
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: while they were on the boat, a huge storm arose.

99
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: The waves started crashing over the boat, filling it with water.

100
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: Looked like it was going to sink. Jesus was asleep

101
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: in the back. The disciples frantically ran, Jesus, wake up,

102
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: We're about to die. Jesus stood up and spoke to

103
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: the storm, peace be still. Suddenly the winds and waves stopped.

104
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: Everything was perfectly calm. The next morning, when they arrived

105
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: on the shore, Jesus was getting out of the boat

106
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: when this deranged man came running up to him, fell

107
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: on his knees and started screaming. Jesus spoke to the

108
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: demons and told them to come out. Instantly the man

109
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: was healed. This scripture says they saw the man sitting

110
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: fully clothed in his right mind. What's interesting is when

111
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: Jesus was on the boat headed toward the man, the

112
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: huge storm that arose wasn't random, wasn't just to act

113
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: and nature just a coincidence. That was the enemy trying

114
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: to stop Jesus from getting to the man. You would

115
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: think the enemy would be satisfied. I mean, the man

116
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: was possessed out of his mind, cutting himself. Surely he's

117
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: no threat, He'll never do anything great. No, the enemy knew,

118
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: despite all he had done, despite the cutting, the torment,

119
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: the confusion, that this man still had greatness in him,

120
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: that he still had a destiny to fulfill, dreams to accomplish.

121
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: When he saw Jesus crossing the lake. He thought, I've

122
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: got to stop him. I've got to keep him from

123
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: getting here. There is a fight for your future. But

124
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: what I want you to see is it's not your battle.

125
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: God is fighting for you. The enemy may send the storms,

126
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: opposition that looks too big, don't worry. God controls the winds.

127
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: He overrides every negative force, the winds that are trying

128
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: to stop you from your destiny. God is speaking to

129
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: them right now. Breakthroughs are coming, Healing is coming, freedom

130
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: is coming. Things that look like they could never turn around.

131
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: The storm seems darker than ever. On your own, you

132
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: don't have a chance. You're not on your own. Get ready.

133
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: Favor is coming, Victory is coming. Like this man, You're

134
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: going to see God override what's trying to stop you.

135
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: There's no storm too strong for our God to calm,

136
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: no giant too big for him to defeat, no fire

137
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: too hot that he can't step in and bring you out.

138
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: This man that was deranged, he didn't know that Jesus

139
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: had spoken to the winds. He didn't know there was

140
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: a huge storm that Jesus had gone to great lengths

141
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: to get to him. He just saw him show up

142
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: on the shore You don't know how many storms the

143
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: enemy has sent to try to keep God from getting

144
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: to you. How many times God has said, peace be still.

145
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: That's my son, that's my daughter. I'm gonna break those chains.

146
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: They're going to fulfill their destiny. God has been fighting

147
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: for you your whole life, pushing back forces of darkness,

148
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: crossing lakes, calming storms, just to get to you. Some

149
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: of these battles took place when you were a small child.

150
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: The enemy knew way back then what you were called

151
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: to be. He could see the favor and anointing on

152
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: your life. He could see you were destined for greatness.

153
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: So he has worked over time trying to stop your

154
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: destiny through things you had no control over. My father,

155
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: as a two year old little boy, was walking by

156
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: fire and he fell into it. Nobody was around. He

157
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: could have been killed out of nowhere. Someone came and

158
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: pulled him out. He couldn't save himself. That was God

159
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: fighting for him. The enemy sent the storm, but God said,

160
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: peace be still. I have the final say. The enemy

161
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: can't stop your life. He can't stop your destiny. David

162
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: said in Psalm thirty, Lord, I praise you for you

163
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: refuse to let my enemies triumph over me. Why did

164
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: that fire not take my father out? God refuse to

165
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: let the enemy triumph. Why did that accident not harm you?

166
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: God refuse to let it harm you. Why did you

167
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: beat the cancer? Why did that unhealthy childhood not stop you?

168
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: Why hasn't that addiction finished you off? Because God's purpose

169
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: is more powerful than the enemy's plan. The forces of

170
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 1: darkness cannot stop what God has ordained for you. If

171
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: you only knew all the things God has refused to

172
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: let happen to you. You may have had some bad breaks, disappointments,

173
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: but just the fact that you're still here is a

174
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: sign God's fever is on your life. There may be

175
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: obstacles trying to stop you. Now you don't understand it.

176
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: It's because there's greatness in you. The enemy doesn't come

177
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: against people that don't have anything. If you weren't a threat,

178
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: he'd leave you alone. In one sense, you can take

179
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: it as a compliment. Yes, I have big obstacles, but

180
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: I know it's because I have a big destiny. Had

181
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: some bad breaks, disappointments, but they could not finish me off.

182
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm still staying. The enemy wouldn't have wasted so much

183
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: time and energy on you if there wasn't something amazing

184
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: in your future. Now do your part. Stay in faith,

185
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: don't go around complaining about what didn't work out, what

186
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: you didn't get. God is still working. He's a god

187
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: of justice. He will make up for what was unfair.

188
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: He will pay you back for the wrongs that were done.

189
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: Way back as a small child. The enemy knew my

190
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: father would be the first one in our family to

191
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: give his life to Christ. He knew he would be

192
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: the one to break the cycle of poverty that had

193
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: limited us for generations. He knew Daddy would start Lakewood,

194
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: that he would leave children and grandchildren to continue it on.

195
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 1: No wonder he tried to stop him in the fire.

196
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: No wonder his family told him. All he knew how

197
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: to do was Pitt Cotton that he could never have

198
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: become a minister. Wonder One church ask him to resign

199
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: because his message of faith and victory didn't fit in.

200
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: When you have a big future, the enemy is not

201
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: going to just roll out the red carpet and let

202
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: you fulfill it, Paul said First Corinthians, A wide door

203
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: of opportunity is open to me, and there are many adversaries,

204
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: the many adversaries, doesn't mean God has forgotten about you,

205
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you've been left out. It's because of the

206
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: wide doors that are about to open. It's because of

207
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: the favor that's in your future. You can look back

208
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: over your life and see things that came against you,

209
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: Some that you had nothing to do with, things that

210
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: weren't fair. You were left out, mischaracterized, made to look bad.

211
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: Other times you tried to step up to a new level.

212
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: You tried to set a new standard. But opposition came

213
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: out of the woodwork, things that you've never facedoes that

214
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: don't want you to take new ground. When the enemy

215
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: sees you start to make progress, he'll send the storm,

216
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: the winds, the waves. That's when God will step up

217
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: and say, peace, be still. The storms cannot stop our God.

218
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: What you're up against is not a sign that you're stuck.

219
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: It's a sign promotion is coming. The storm is a

220
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: sign God is close to the shore. You're about to

221
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: see things change in your favor. When Moses was born,

222
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: the Pharaoh had put out a decree that all the

223
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: Hebrew male babies were to be killed at birth. They

224
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: were was concerned that the Israelites would get bigger than

225
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: the Egyptians and overtake them. Not only that, it was

226
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: prophesied that Moses would deliver the Israelites out of slavery.

227
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't a coincidence that Moses was born into adversity,

228
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: born with forces against him. Nothing he had done wasn't

229
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: his poor choices, But from his birth the enemy was

230
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: trying to stop him. His mother hid him in the

231
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: house for three months. Eventually he got too big. She

232
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: thought he would be found and killed, so she put

233
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: him in a small basket and sent him floating down

234
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: the Nile River. It just so happened. Pharaoh's daughter was

235
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: out taken a bath when she heard the cries coming

236
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: from the basket. She opened it and couldn't believe it.

237
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: She fell in love with this little baby. What's interesting

238
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: is she knew he was a Hebrew baby. She knew

239
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: he wasn't supposed to live. Her father was the one

240
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: that made the decree, But for some reason, she and

241
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: her father, the pharaoh, decided it was okay for her

242
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: to keep the baby and raise it as her own.

243
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: When God is fighting your battles, things will happen. Don't

244
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: make sense when he says, peace be still. Storms that

245
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: look impossible will suddenly calm down. Maybe you were raised

246
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: in an environment that wasn't real healthy. You have plenty

247
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: of reasons to be sour and think that you could

248
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: never do anything great. You've been through too much. How

249
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: do you know you're not a Moses? How do you

250
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: know that adversity is not a sign that greatness is

251
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: in you? That the enemy tried to push you down

252
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: to keep you from leaving your mark, But God stepped

253
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: up and said, peace be still. He didn't bring you

254
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: through because you're ordinary. Now you need to step into

255
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: your greatness. Quit believe in those lies. That you've had

256
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: too many bad breaks, too much against you. It's too unfair.

257
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be fair for God to do

258
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: something awesome in your life. In fact, when it's not fair,

259
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: when you're the underdog, when the enemy's trying to stop you,

260
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 1: that's when God steps up and shows out the most.

261
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: Wasn't fair that David's own family belittled him, but that

262
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: didn't stop him from taking the throne. Wasn't fair that

263
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: Joseph was thrown into a pit, lied about, put in prison,

264
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: but that didn't stop him from becoming the prime minister.

265
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: Wasn't fair that Moses was born under a death threat.

266
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: Parents had to hide him, but that didn't stop him

267
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: from delivering the Israelites. Who says it has to be

268
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: fair for you to fulfill your destiny. No bad break

269
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: has canceled God's plan for your life. No injustice, no disappointment,

270
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: no person. The reason it's not fair is because there's

271
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: something in you that the enemy doesn't want out. There's

272
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: an assignment God has for you that the enemy is

273
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: trying to stop, an anointing and empowerment, a favor that

274
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't want you to see. The good news. He

275
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: doesn't have the final say. Now get ready to step

276
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: in to your greatness. My sister Lisa was born with

277
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: something like cerebral paulsy. The doctors told my parents she

278
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: may never be able to walk or feed herself. First year,

279
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: she couldn't lift her head, had no sucking reflexes, but

280
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: by the grace of God, over time, she defied the

281
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: odds kept getting better and better. Growing up, there were

282
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: five of us kids in the house, and all of

283
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: us except Lisa, we're very athletic, played sports stayed active,

284
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: but Lisa, having come through that birth injury. Couldn't do

285
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: everything we could. And when we were choosing teams to

286
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: play kickball with our friends in the neighborhood, Lisa would

287
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: always be chosen toward the very end, right before my

288
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: brother Paul. But it seemed like it was one bad

289
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: break after another for Lisa. In her early twenties, she

290
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: went through a breakup in a relation she had, very hurtful,

291
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: very unfair. Not long after that, she was working with

292
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: us here at the church opening my father's mail. One

293
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: day she opened this package and it exploded in her lap.

294
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: It was a mill bomb, blew up part of her leg,

295
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: injured her stomach. She was rushed to the hospital, had

296
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: to have surgery. The investigators told us if the package

297
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: would have been turned long ways in her lap instead

298
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: of sideways, she would have been instantly killed. It was

299
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: a pipe bomb. When it exploded, the nails blew out

300
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: sideways away from her instead of into her. Why did

301
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: Lisa have all these things coming against her since she

302
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: was a baby. The enemy knew there was something special

303
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: in her and anointing to teach, a gifting, to leave

304
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: a favor to help build people. Every time the enemy

305
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: sent a storm God stepped up and said peace be still.

306
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: When the bomb exploded, God said, bomb, you can't finish

307
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: her off. I have the final say. God refused to

308
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: let her enemies triumph over her. Lisa says, I opened

309
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: the bomb, and now I am the bomb. What's come

310
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: against you has not been random. Those were strategic attacks

311
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: for one reason, because of what's in you purpose, destiny, greatness,

312
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: and if you will keep moving forward not get bitter

313
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 1: over what hasn't worked out, at some point you're going

314
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: to step in to what the enemy didn't want you

315
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: to see, new levels of favor, opportunity like you've never dreamed.

316
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: God has taken you where you couldn't go on your own.

317
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: A friend of mine grew up in a large family

318
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, had seventeen brothers and sisters. His parents were

319
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: heavily involved in witchcraft. When he was three years old,

320
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: his mother was in a trance. She declared over him

321
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: that he was the son of Satan. He was too

322
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: young to know any better, but imagine having people speaking

323
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: things like that over your life. Didn't seem fair. Looked

324
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: like he was at a disadvantage. But people don't have

325
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: the final say. What you can't see is behind the scenes,

326
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: the most taighed God is fighting for you. He overrules

327
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: every negative thing that people have spoken. Fifteen years old,

328
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: this young man moved to New York City with one

329
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: of his brothers. Six months later, he was the leader

330
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: of one of the most violent and feared street games.

331
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: Fighting and stealing were a part of his everyday life.

332
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: A year later, his best friend was stabbed and died

333
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: in his arms like the deranged man that was cutting himself.

334
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: Didn't seem like this young man had any future. He

335
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: would never amount to much. He was too far off course.

336
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: But what he couldn't see was God was crossing the

337
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: lake to get to him. God was on the way

338
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: to turn things around. When forces come against you that strongly,

339
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: you can be assured there's a great purpose for your life.

340
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: There's great potential on the inside. One night, a minister

341
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: came up to him on the street and invited him

342
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: to a service that he was having. This young man

343
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: made fun of him and threatened to beat him up.

344
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: But when you plan a seed, you never know when

345
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: it's going to take root. The next night, the young

346
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: man and his whole game showed up at the service.

347
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: They were planning to disrupt things and cause trouble. But

348
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: when he began to hear about the love and forgiveness

349
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: of our God, he felt something on the n side

350
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: that he had never felt. At the end of the service,

351
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: against all odds, he stood up and gave his life

352
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: to Christ. Instantly, changes were broken off of his mind.

353
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: He felt a new sense of purpose, a new sense

354
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: of destiny. He knew he was no longer the son

355
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 1: of Satan. He was the son of the Mosah God.

356
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: When you can't fight for yourself, you have to know

357
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: God is fighting for you. He is bigger than any

358
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: force that's trying to hold you back. He's bigger than

359
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: negative words that were spoken over you. He's bigger than

360
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: the addiction, bigger than how you were raised, bigger than

361
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: that sickness. You wouldn't have that difficulty if there wasn't

362
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: greatness in you today. Our friend Nicki Cruz is an

363
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: amazing minister. He goes around the world telling what God

364
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: has done. But what I'm saying is Nicki couldn't change

365
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: that on his own. Being born in that environment seemed unfair.

366
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: The man that was deranged cutting himself, he couldn't get

367
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: free by himself. Even people couldn't help him. That's why

368
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: they sent him away. The good news is you have

369
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: someone fighting for you behind the scenes. God's pushing back

370
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: forces of darkness, making things happen that you couldn't make happen.

371
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: The scripture says, stand still and you will see the

372
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: deliverance of the Lord. You keep doing the right thing,

373
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: and God will take care of what's stopping you. He'll

374
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: turn the opposition around, He'll move the wrong people out

375
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 1: of the way. He'll give you the breaks you need

376
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: to get you to where you're supposed to be. When

377
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: I first started ministering back in nineteen ninety nine, it

378
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: seemed like everyone was for me. People were so encouraging,

379
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: cheering beyond many of you. But after a couple of

380
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: years I started having some opposition and people that didn't

381
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: understand me. I used to think, why are they coming

382
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: against me? Just trying to keep the church going, talking

383
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: about the goodness of God. I'm not bothering anybody else.

384
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: I realize now the enemy doesn't fight you for where

385
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: you are, He fights you for where you're going. I

386
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: thought I would always be at the same level. I

387
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: was satisfied to maintain where we were, but God had

388
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: something bigger in me, things that I couldn't see. The

389
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: enemy wasn't fighting me for where I was. He was

390
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: fighting me for the compact center. He was fighting me

391
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: for my books, for serious exam, for the Knights of Hope.

392
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: You may be doing the right thing, but you have opposition.

393
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: You don't understand it. It's because there's something in your future,

394
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: much bigger than you think. You can't see it right now,

395
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: but even the enemy knows it's coming. He knows you're

396
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: a giant killer, You're a history maker that you're going

397
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: to affect generations to come. Now. Quit being discouraged by

398
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: what's against you. If you aren't a threat, the enemy

399
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't be bothering you. It's because of the greatness that's

400
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: in you, and what's come against you may be bigger, stronger.

401
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: Don't worry. The most taied God is fighting for you

402
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: right now. He's crossing the lake. Say in peace, be stilled. Now,

403
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: believe and declare. Every storm that you're facing is beginning

404
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: to dissipate. Every chain that's held you back is being broken.

405
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: The greatness in you is about to come out new

406
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: levels of favor, influence, opportunity, healing, breakthroughs, the fullness of

407
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: your destiny in Jesus' name, and if you receive it,

408
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: can you say him in today? Well, I'd like to

409
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of

410
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: your life. Would you pray with me? Just say Lord Jesus,

411
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: I'll repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll

412
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: make you my lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed

413
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: that simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get

414
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: in a good Bible based church, and keep God first place.

415
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: Are you in a situation where you feel lost, afraid, hopeless,

416
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 2: where there seems to be no solutions, no answers, no

417
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 2: way out. It's time for your turnaround.

418
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: We all face situations that look like they'll never change.

419
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: It's easy to get discouraged. I love to send you

422
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,520

424

428
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: you don't see a way doesn't mean God doesn't have

429
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,520
