They 34 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 3: had been married fifty years and never had an argument. 35 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 4: Not one. 36 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: Somebody asked the secret of their success. The men explained, 37 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 3: as they were leaving the church going on their honeymoon, 38 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 3: the wife's horse refused to go. She got off, looked 39 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 3: the horse in the eye and said that's one. He 40 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: went a little further, stopped again. She got off, looked 41 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 3: the horse in the eyes and said that's two. He 42 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: went a little more, stopped a third time. This time 43 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: she got off, pulled her revolver out and shot the 44 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 3: horse dead. Her husband said, what in the world are 45 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: you doing. You can't just shoot a horse. She looked 46 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 3: at him and said, honey, that's one all right. That 47 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 3: is not advice. That's a joke. Here we go. This 48 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 49 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do 50 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today I will be 51 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess. My mind 52 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 53 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 3: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 54 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 3: to talk to you today about By this, I know 55 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 3: we've all come through challenges and difficulties that should have 56 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 3: stopped us. Problem seemed too big, the obstacle looked insurmountable. 57 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 3: Somehow we made it through. We've seen doors open that 58 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 3: shouldn't have opened, Promotion that we didn't deserve. People for 59 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 3: no reason went out of their way to be good 60 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 3: to us. That wasn't luck, It wasn't just a good break. 61 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 3: That was the hand of God pushing back forces of darkness, 62 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 3: protecting us, healing us, promoting us. David said in Psalm 63 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: forty one, By this, I know the Lord is on 64 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 3: my side. He has not let my enemies triumph over me. 65 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 3: When David looked at where he was and thought about 66 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 3: what it took to get there, the rejection, being left 67 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 3: out by his father, King Saul, trying to kill him, 68 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: people slandering him, he recognized the whole time it was 69 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 3: God behind the scenes, fighting his battles, not letting those 70 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: enemies defeat him. It gave him a confidence of boldness. 71 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 3: He knew the Lord was on his side. All of 72 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 3: us have some of these. By this, I know that 73 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 3: sickness could have been the end, but by the grace 74 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 3: of God, you're still here, healthy and home. You can 75 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: look back and say, like David, by this, I know 76 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 3: the Lord is on my side. He didn't let that 77 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 3: sickness defeat me, or the divorce. The breakup could have 78 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 3: left you sour, bitter, lonely. But God not only restored you, 79 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 3: he brought somebody new, somebody better than you've imagined. Now 80 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 3: you're a happy, whole, loving life. You can say, by this, 81 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 3: I know the Lord is on my side. He turned 82 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 3: my mourning into dancing. A young lady showed me pictures 83 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 3: of a car she was driving. Somebody pulled in front 84 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 3: of her on the freeway. She lost control of her car. 85 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 3: It flipped over and rolled through times. There was nothing 86 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 3: left of the car. Didn't look like anyway someone could survive. 87 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 3: She smiled and said, Joel, I came out without one scratch, 88 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 3: without one bruise. The police couldn't believe it when they 89 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 3: saw the car. They were expecting a fatality. They had 90 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 3: to use the jaws of life to get her out. 91 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 3: An officer said, you were one very lucky young lady. 92 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 3: That wasn't luck, that was the goodness of God. Those 93 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 3: were angels protecting her, keeping her from dashing her foot 94 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 3: against a stone. Now she can look back and say, 95 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: by this, I know the Lord is on my side. 96 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 3: The things that should have stopped you, the people that 97 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 3: came against you, the accidents, the rejection, the tough childhood, 98 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 3: the addiction that was passed down. Other people were defeated, 99 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 3: other people got knocked down. But look at you. You're 100 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 3: still standing, You're still blessed, you're still victorious, you're still happy. 101 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 3: Just the fact that you're here, that's a sign the 102 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 3: Lord is on your side. When you look back and 103 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 3: see how you outlasted the opposition, how you raise that 104 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 3: child on your own. How you put yourself through college, 105 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 3: how you broke the addiction, rose out of the dysfunction, 106 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 3: how you came through the cancer treatment. How you encouraged 107 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: yourself when nobody else was around. Other people would have 108 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 3: given up. Others would have complained, been discouraged, missed their destiny. 109 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: But not you. You're still going strong. When you know the 110 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 3: Lord is on your side. It gives you a boldness, 111 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 3: a confidence. You don't fall apart when you face opposition. 112 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 3: Your attitude is you are messing with the wrong person. 113 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 3: I may look ordinary, but I have a secret. The 114 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 3: most High God, the creator of the universe, is on 115 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 3: my side. How do you know He didn't let your 116 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 3: enemies triumph over you. You didn't make it through all 117 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 3: those challenges on your own. That was God fighting your battles, 118 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 3: breathing in your direction. You didn't break that addiction by yourself. 119 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 3: You may have done your part, but it was God 120 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 3: keeping it from stopping your purpose. You didn't meet that 121 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 3: person that you fell in love with by accident. Wasn't 122 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 3: a coincidence that they came across your path. She could 123 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 3: have been five minutes later and you'd never seen her. 124 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 3: He could have changed his mind done something different that day. 125 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 3: God ordered your steps, and now you're blessed with someone 126 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 3: to love. In every challenge God has brought you through. 127 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: Those victories were designed as fuel for your faith. So 128 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 3: when you face new challenges, you can look back and say, God, 129 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 3: you did it for me back then, I know you'll 130 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 3: do it for me. Now. You have a history with God. 131 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 3: You've seen him make a way where you didn't see away. 132 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: You've seen him have you at the right place at 133 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 3: the right time when you've made mistakes. You've seen him 134 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 3: show your mercy, turn it around when you didn't deserve it. 135 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: Big and small, we've all seen the hand of God. 136 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 3: When you're tempted to get discouraged and think the problem 137 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 3: is too big, it'll never change, you'll never get well, 138 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 3: never meet the right person. You need to go back 139 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 3: and get some fuel. Remember what God has done. Think 140 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 3: about the times he's shown out in your life. When 141 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: you go back over your history and see how God 142 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 3: has never left you, how he kept you from the accident, 143 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 3: brought the right person, led you to that house where 144 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 3: things fell into place. Then when thoughts whisper it's not 145 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 3: going to work out. This is as good as it 146 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 3: gets just smile and say I'm sorry, you're too late. 147 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: I have a history with God. I've already seen his goodness. 148 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 3: I've already seen him turn my child around, already seen 149 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 3: him heal my loved one. I've seen him promote me, 150 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: take me where I couldn't go. I've seen him bring 151 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 3: me through laws and give me beauty for ashes. When 152 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: you look back at your history, it will give you 153 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 3: fuel for your destiny. Genesis twenty four. Abraham was old 154 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 3: and close to death. He told his assistant to travel 155 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 3: back to his hometown to find his son, Isaac a wife. 156 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: They were living in Canaan. Abraham wanted Isaac to marry 157 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 3: someone from his original home. This assistant fell to all 158 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 3: the pressure. He thought, how am I going to know 159 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 3: if it's the right girl? He said to Abraham. I'll go, 160 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 3: but what if I can't find a young lady that 161 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 3: will come back with me? Abraham said in verse thirty nine, 162 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 3: you will find the right one, for the Lord in 163 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 3: whose presence I have walked will send his angel with 164 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 3: you and make your mission successful. Abraham was saying, don't worry. 165 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 3: I have a history with God. I've seen his faithfulness 166 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 3: down through the years. He gave my wife and I 167 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 3: a baby when we were way too old. He provided 168 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 3: a ram in the bush when I needed a sacrifice. 169 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 3: He showed me mercy when I made a mistake and 170 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 3: had a baby out of wedlock. He's seen God's goodness 171 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: again and again. It gave him a confidence. He said 172 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: it with boldness, it will happen. I have walked with God. 173 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 3: When you look back over your life, you will see 174 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 3: these times like with Abraham, where God brought a promise 175 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 3: to pass that seemed impossible. He made a way when 176 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 3: you didn't see that way. He brought your child out 177 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 3: of trouble. Now they're doing great things. When you think 178 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 3: about the faithfulness of God, it'll give you a confidence. 179 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 3: You'll say it will happen. My children will be mighty 180 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 3: in the land. I will live and not die, I 181 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: will lend and not borrow. I will fulfill my destiny. 182 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 3: How can you be so sure you have a history 183 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 3: with God. You didn't get here by yourself. God was 184 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 3: directing your steps behind the scenes. You couldn't see it, 185 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 3: but God was pushing back opposition. He was favoring you. 186 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 3: He was dealing with those enemies. That's why they couldn't 187 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 3: defeat you. That's why you had a baby when the 188 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 3: expert said you couldn't have one. That's why that company 189 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 3: called and offered you the position. You didn't go after it. 190 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 3: It came after you. That wasn't good luck. That was 191 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 3: a good God. Instead of wondering if it's gonna work out, 192 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 3: living stressed over your finances, worried about your children, have 193 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 3: a new attitude. The Lord in whose presence I have walked, 194 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 3: the Lord who has defeated my enemies, The Lord who 195 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 3: has restored and vindicated me, The Lord who has promoted 196 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 3: and prospered me. He will make my mission successful. God 197 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 3: has not brought you this far to leave you. He's 198 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 3: defeated enemies for you in the past. The good news 199 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 3: is he's still on the throne. He's going to do 200 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 3: it again in the future. Think about all the circumstances. 201 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 5: That could have brought you down. 202 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 3: Look at all the people that could have held you back. 203 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 3: They told you what you couldn't become, tried to discourage you, 204 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 3: push you down, but you just kept on keeping on. 205 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 3: Now they're nowhere to be found. You're still going strong. 206 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 3: By this, you can know the Lord is on your side. 207 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 3: You could have been discouraged, you could have believed what 208 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 3: they said. But God didn't let their negative report take root. 209 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 3: He didn't let their prophecy come to pass. Instead, he 210 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 3: spoke new words into your spirit. No weapon formed against 211 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 3: you will prosper. He said. When the enemy comes against 212 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: you one way, he will defeat them and cause them 213 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 3: to flee seven different ways. When we were trying to 214 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: acquire this place, the former Compact Center, the company we 215 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 3: were up against was the largest taxpayer in Texas, a 216 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 3: huge real estate company. It was David versus Goliath in 217 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 3: the natural. We didn't have a chance. But I've learned 218 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 3: you and God are a majority. He can make things 219 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 3: happen that you couldn't make happen. We needed ten votes 220 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 3: from the city council members, but we only had nine. 221 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 3: The night before the final vote, a young Jewish council 222 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 3: member that had been against us two years suddenly changed 223 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 3: his mind and voted for us, and we got the building. 224 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 3: We couldn't believe it. We were so thrilled. I ask 225 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 3: him afterwards what happened. He explained how he received a 226 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 3: phone call out of the blue from an older Jewish 227 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 3: woman that he hadn't spoken to in over twenty years, 228 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 3: but he always had great respect for her. She told 229 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 3: him in no uncertain terms he was to vote for 230 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 3: Lakewood having the compact center. That lady that I have 231 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 3: never met is why he changed his mind. I couldn't 232 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 3: have made that happen. Now, every time I see this place, 233 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 3: I can say by this, I know the Lord is 234 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 3: on my side. He didn't let those enemies defeed us. 235 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 3: This building is a testimony of God's goodness. It's a 236 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: reminder that he's fighting our battles, that he's bigger than 237 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 3: what we're facing. Look back over your life, Remember what 238 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 3: God has done. That's fuel for your faith. You have 239 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 3: a history with God. Too often we forget the good things. 240 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 3: We remember the hurts, the disappointments, the mistakes. But look 241 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 3: at where you are now. If it had not been 242 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 3: for the goodness of God, you wouldn't be here. Some 243 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 3: people that have gone through what you've been through, they 244 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 3: didn't make it. They gave up, God discouraged living, defeated. 245 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 3: Not you. God shined his favor on you. God has 246 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 3: been keeping enemies from defeating you your whole life. He 247 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 3: was guarding and protecting you even when you didn't realize it. 248 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 3: There are enemies that you've never seen because God kept 249 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 3: them out of your path. When my father was a toddler, 250 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 3: he fell into a fire. He could have easily been killed. 251 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 3: Another few seconds and he would lost his life. Someone 252 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 3: just so happened to be right there to pull him out. 253 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 3: The enemy has been trying to take you out since 254 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 3: you were a baby. He knows you're a person of destiny. 255 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 3: He knows you have seeds of greatness. He knows you've 256 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 3: been crowned with favor. So he's been working over time 257 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 3: to try to silence your voice, stop your gifts, limit 258 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 3: your potential, keep you from reaching your destiny. But those 259 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: forces have not been able to stop you. It's because 260 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 3: you have a protector. You have a defender that's watching 261 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 3: over you. He never sleeps. He's pushing back darkness. He's 262 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 3: keeping those forces from taking your life. David said, a 263 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 3: thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your 264 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 3: right hand, but it will not come near you. God 265 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 3: has his angels standing guard over you. The fact that 266 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 3: you're here alive and healthy. By this, you can know 267 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 3: the Lord is on your side. When I see my 268 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 3: mother diagnose with terminal cancer in nineteen eighty one, thirty 269 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 3: seven years later, still healthy and strong. By this, I 270 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 3: know the Lord is on my side. He didn't let 271 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 3: that sickness take her life. When I stepped up to 272 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 3: pasture the church, when my father went to be with 273 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 3: the Lord, I didn't think I could do this. I 274 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 3: didn't have the training, the experience. But God brought gifts 275 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 3: out of me that I didn't know I had. He's 276 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 3: promoted me, taking me further than I've imagined, helped me 277 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 3: to outlast the opposition. By this, I know the Lord 278 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 3: is on my side. He didn't let those enemies defeat me. 279 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 3: When I see Victorian, look at how beautiful she is. 280 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 3: By this, I know the Lord is on my side. 281 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 3: On the other hand, when I look at my brother Paul, 282 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 3: by this, I know the Lord is on my side. 283 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 3: The scripture says, taste and see that the Lord is good. 284 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but I've tasted God's goodness. 285 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 3: I've seen his favor, his blessings, his mercy, is vindication, 286 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 3: his abundance. In the battle for the Compact Center, there 287 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,479 Speaker 3: were a few people that didn't want us to have 288 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 3: the building. One of the main business leaders. A very 289 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 3: respected influential man was at a luncheon with a friend 290 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 3: of mine. He said to everyone at the table, it 291 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 3: will be a cold day in hell before Lakewood gets 292 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 3: the compact. Center said it very sarcastically. Everyone laughed. Of course, 293 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 3: he didn't know my friend was there. And when he 294 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 3: told me what the man said, it didn't discourage me. 295 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 3: It was just the opposite. It made me more determined. 296 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 3: I prayed harder, I stood stronger. You can't have a 297 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 3: big testimony without having a big test and sometimes God 298 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 3: will send you a big jerk, I mean, a big enemy. 299 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 3: Stay in faith. They cannot stop your destiny. They don't 300 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 3: know it, but God is going to use them for fuel. 301 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 3: Now I can imagine now, when he drives by the building, 302 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 3: or he flips through the channel and seizes my smiling face, 303 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 3: he must think it's a cold day in hell because 304 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 3: here we are. The scripture says, don't gloat over your enemies. 305 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 3: But it's hard. He went from being opposition to be 306 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 3: in fuel. Now, when I face other giants, I think 307 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 3: about him. He couldn't stop us. He thought we were 308 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 3: a lightweight. What he couldn't see was behind the scenes 309 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 3: we had a heavyweight, the most high God fighting our battles. 310 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 3: When I'm tempted to get discouraged, I go back over 311 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 3: my history. I think about how God brought my father 312 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 3: out of poverty. Had no money, no education, no future 313 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 3: to speak of. But at seventeen years of age, he 314 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 3: gave his life to Christ, the first one in his family. 315 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 3: That wasn't a lucky That was God choosing my father 316 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 3: before he could choose him. If it had not been 317 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 3: for the goodness of God in my father's life, I 318 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 3: wouldn't be standing here. I think about how God protected 319 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 3: me on the freeway when I lost control of my car. 320 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 3: I was in my early twenties. It's reigning really hard. 321 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 3: I hit the center guardrail, spun back around five lanes 322 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 3: of traffic. At one point I was going the wrong direction. 323 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 3: I looked up and eighteen wheeler was coming right at me. 324 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 3: I felt like I could reach out and touch his 325 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 3: front grill. He was so close. All I had time 326 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 3: to say was Jesus. The scripture says, call on the 327 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 3: name of the Lord and you will be saved. You 328 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 3: don't have to pray long. When you say Jesus, heaven 329 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 3: and earth comes to attention. The next thing I knew, 330 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 3: I was on the shoulder, on the side of the freeway, stopped. 331 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 3: The eighteen wheeler pulled off. The driver got out, came 332 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 3: to my window. He said, boy, you must be living 333 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 3: right right. When I was about to hit you, I 334 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 3: braced myself, but a huge gust of wind blew me 335 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 3: into the other lane, and somehow I miss you, he said, somehow, 336 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 3: But I know it was someone he thought it was 337 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 3: a good break. I know it was the hand of God. 338 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,959 Speaker 3: By this, I know the Lord is on my side. 339 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 3: He didn't let the accident take my life. What has 340 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 3: God done for you? You have some of these By this, 341 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 3: I know those victories were not just to protect you, 342 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 3: to heal you, to promote you. Their fuel. So when 343 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 3: you face new challenges, obstacles that looked too big, if 344 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 3: you'll go back and remember what God has done, that's 345 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 3: what gives you the faith, the confidence, the knowing that 346 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 3: He's in control, that he has you in the palm 347 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 3: of his hand, that what's trying to stop you doesn't 348 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 3: have a chance. The enemy may do his best, his 349 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 3: best will never be enough. God has a hedge of 350 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 3: protection around you. His forces are greater than the forces 351 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 3: that are trying to stop You. Don't live worried, afraid. 352 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 3: Go back over your history. When you start thanking God 353 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,959 Speaker 3: for what he's done, you'll feel faith rise in your hearts. 354 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 3: You'll know He did it for you back then, he'll 355 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 3: do it for you today. This is where the Israelites 356 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 3: missed it. God supernaturally brought them out of slavery. He 357 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 3: sent plagues on their enemies. When Pharaoh changed his mind 358 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 3: came chasing them. The Israelites were at a dead end 359 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 3: at the Red Sea, had nowhere to go. God simply 360 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 3: parted the Red Sea. They went through on dry ground. 361 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 3: Out in the desert. God brought them water out of 362 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 3: a rock. He gave them manna bread to eat. Each 363 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 3: morning was one miracle after another. But when they arrived 364 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 3: at the Promised Land and saw how big the people were, 365 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 3: instead of using what God had done as fuel, instead 366 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 3: of saying by this, we know the Lord is on 367 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 3: our side, Psalm seventy eight says, they forgot the amazing 368 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 3: miracles God had done. They got discouraged, started complaining, saying, Moses, 369 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 3: they're too big, Let's just go back to being slaves. Here. 370 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 3: They had a great history with God, he had done 371 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 3: amazing things. Their problem was they didn't remember them. Instead 372 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 3: of going into the Promised Land, they wandered in the 373 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 3: desert for forty years. Are you living worried, thinking a 374 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 3: problem is too big? Perhaps you're doing like they did. 375 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 3: You've forgotten what God has done. You're out of fuel. 376 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 3: Your faith needs to be re energized. One way you 377 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 3: do that is by going back over your By this, 378 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 3: I knows the times God made away, the times he 379 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 3: protected you, the times he opened that door. When you 380 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 3: start dwelling on the goodness of God in your own life, 381 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 3: not what he did for your neighbor. It's great that 382 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 3: God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites, but how 383 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 3: about the Red seas God's parted for you? The times 384 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 3: he made something happen that seems impossible. That's your fuel, 385 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 3: your personal history. If you'll start thanking God for those things, 386 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 3: you'll get that spring back in your step. You'll live 387 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 3: with this confidence. By this, I know the Lord is 388 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 3: on my side. I talked to a man that had 389 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 3: struggled with addictions for twenty seven years. He was an executive, 390 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 3: had a great job, a happy family. Drugs and alcohol 391 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 3: ruined his life. He lost his marriage, lost his job. 392 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 3: He was so depressed he didn't want to live. At 393 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 3: the lowest point, he turned the television on and I 394 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 3: was talking about how God is bigger than addictions. Touch 395 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 3: of his favor can turn situations around. All of a sudden, 396 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 3: he felt a warmness starting at his head, flowing down 397 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 3: to his feet. He said, for the first time in years, 398 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 3: he felt hopeful. He got down on his knees and said, 399 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 3: God can't do this on my own, help me to change. 400 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 3: That moment was a turning point. Never went back to 401 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 3: the drugs, never touched the alcohol again. That was nine 402 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 3: years ago. He's been sober ever since he and his 403 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 3: wife had divorced. They remarried. He's back with his family. 404 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 3: Now he can say, like David, by this, I know 405 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 3: the Lord is on my side. Now I think, I hope, 406 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 3: I'm praying. I'm believing God is going to do some 407 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 3: things in your future where you know he's on your side, 408 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 3: there would be no doubt. Maybe like him, you couldn't 409 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 3: break the addiction. Suddenly you're free. You were told you 410 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 3: couldn't have children, Now you have a healthy baby. You 411 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 3: weren't even looking somebody amazing came into your life. The 412 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 3: opposition was bigger and stronger. But the compact center came 413 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 3: to you. The contract came to you, the business came 414 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 3: to you. You couldn't have made it happen. You were 415 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 3: at your limits, but the Red Sea parted. Get ready, 416 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 3: you're about to know the Lord is on your side. 417 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 3: What he's done in the past is going to peale 418 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 3: in comparison to what he's about to do now. Don't 419 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 3: be surprised when you face giants bigger than you've ever faced, 420 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 3: bigger opposition. That's a sign you're headed to a new level. 421 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 3: You'll be tempted to worry, feel overwhelmed. You need to 422 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 3: go back and get your fuel. Remember what God has done. 423 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 3: Thank him for the red seas he's parted. Thank him 424 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 3: for the giants you've defeated. Thank him for the times 425 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 3: he's made away. You didn't get to where you are 426 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 3: on your own. There are things that I should have 427 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 3: stopped you. You can say, like David, by this, I 428 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 3: know the Lord is on my side. The cancer didn't 429 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 3: defeat me, the divorce didn't stop my destiny. The accident 430 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 3: didn't take my life. You have a history with God. 431 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 3: He's done it in the past. He's going to do 432 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 3: it in the future. He was fighting your battles back then. 433 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 3: Can I encourage you, He's fighting your battles right now. 434 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 3: I believe and declare You're about to take new ground. 435 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 3: Giants much bigger are about to come tumbling down.
