Speaker 6: Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading

37
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 6: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

38
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 6: I hope you enjoy this message. I believe that God

39
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 6: wants every one of us to be a superhero.

40
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: See.

41
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 6: God wants us to be fearless and courageous. He wants

42
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 6: us to be like the ones you see in the movies.

43
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 6: You know how they are about like the time the

44
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 6: enemy gets a hold of them, they fall down.

45
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: He's got them in the gridlock. That superhero turns around

46
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: and swirls around, and before you know it, he's defeating

47
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: the enemy. Or he comes out of nowhere.

48
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 6: You know, you don't know what happened to him. He

49
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 6: comes out of nowhere and shows up strong on the scene.

50
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 6: You see, he may fall, but he shows up strong.

51
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 6: And I believe that God wants us to show up strong.

52
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 6: He wants us to show up strong, not only for

53
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 6: ourselves but for other people. He wants us to be

54
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 6: a superhero. And as we were singing together, that's how

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 6: we're gonna become this superhero powerhouse for Almighty God. It's

56
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 6: only gonna come when we do it together. You see,

57
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 6: we're not islands among ourselves. We were not intended to

58
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 6: be alone. When God created man, he said, you need

59
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 6: a helpmate. You need someone who's gonna link arms with you.

60
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 6: You need someone that can help you move forward, perpetuate

61
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 6: my kingdom.

62
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: You see, we were never designed to be alone.

63
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 6: The scripture says that two are better than one, because

64
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 6: when one falls, the others there to pick him up.

65
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: You see, we are going to defeat the enemy.

66
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 6: We are going to move forward when we're linked arms

67
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 6: doing it together. In Hebrews, three point thirteen. Listen to

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 6: what it says. It says to encourage one another daily.

69
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 6: Now that sounds great, doesn't it. Boy, you look good today?

70
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 6: Oh I like that presentation at work. Well, you're so pretty.

71
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 6: We should do that, shouldn't we. We should encourage each

72
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 6: other daily. That's what God says, encourage each other daily.

73
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 6: You know, God formed us in our mother's womb. He

74
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 6: made us, and he knows how we operate. You see,

75
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 6: we have instructions on how to operate to our highest

76
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 6: potential and performance, and we can find them in the.

77
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: Word of God. So he says, encourage each other daily.

78
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 6: Now listen to the rest of that verse, because this

79
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 6: is the weighty and meaty part of the verse.

80
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: You see.

81
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 6: If you just encourage, that's great. You'll do it if

82
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 6: you want to. If you think about maybe I should

83
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 6: go over and see my grandmother today, but I really

84
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 6: don't have time. I've got a lot of things to do.

85
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 6: We don't take encouragement seriously. But listen to this part.

86
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 6: This is what God was saying would happen when we

87
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 6: stand together, link arms and encourage each other daily. It's

88
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 6: said to encourage each other daily. So the deceitfulness of

89
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 6: sin doesn't harden our hearts. There's a weighty promise right there.

90
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 6: When we stand together, guess what we stand opposing the

91
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 6: enemy's deceit. He wants to deceive us, He wants us isolated.

92
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 3: He doesn't want us to have the support that we

93
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 3: were designed to have.

94
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 6: See, God says, if you will encourage, you will be encouraged.

95
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 6: If you will encourage, you can stand against the enemy

96
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 6: for someone else.

97
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 4: See.

98
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 6: Sometimes when you need encouragement, it's hard to stand against

99
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 6: the enemy.

100
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: When you're discouraged. It's hard to stand against the enemy.

101
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 6: I've seen people get so discouraged, so down, so defeated,

102
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 6: they couldn't even think straight.

103
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: You know, when you're discouraged.

104
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 6: And down and defeated, that is the time that the

105
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 6: enemy wants to come in and have a heyday in

106
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 6: your mind.

107
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: He wants to.

108
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 6: Tell you that you're not good enough, that you can't

109
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 6: do it, that you'll never.

110
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 3: Get well, you guys will quit trying.

111
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 6: You See, when you're down and discouraged, that's when the

112
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 6: enemy can come in. But when you have people around

113
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 6: you that are willing to take this script seriously and

114
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 6: say I'm not gonna let them get down because I

115
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 6: have the power to stand against the enemy for them.

116
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 3: You see, isn't it.

117
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 6: Interesting that God said, our encouragement, Our encouragement can stand

118
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 6: against the enemy. Christian Covington was here earlier in the

119
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 6: eight thirty service. I looked over at him, and he's huge.

120
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 6: He placed for the Texans. Do y'all know Christian Covington,

121
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 6: all right? Well, he's huge, And I thought, well, that's

122
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 6: what we look like on the inside, big, kind of

123
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 6: like John Boy here, John Gray Boy, big and strong.

124
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 3: That's what we look like on the inside.

125
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 6: I was thinking about how when Christian Covington and his

126
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 6: team they play on the defense. Don't ask me positions.

127
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 6: I just know they play on the defense. I also

128
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 6: know that the defensive line is there to stand together

129
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 6: so that the other team, the opponent, cannot score on

130
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 6: their team. I do know that much about the vall

131
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 6: you will be proud of me. But the way they

132
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 6: do it is they stand together. They know each other

133
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 6: is right there, and they're not gonna let their opponents score.

134
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 6: Do you know when we stand together locked arms, we don't.

135
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: Let the enemy score on each other. He cannot score.

136
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: See encouragement means to impart courage.

137
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 6: It means to make fearless, make brave, impart courage. That's

138
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 6: what God is saying in part courage to one another.

139
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 6: Because see, the enemy wants to discourage, he wants to

140
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 6: take our courage. He wants to subtract from what God

141
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 6: is doing in our life.

142
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: See, we have to stand together. We have to be superheroes.

143
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 6: When I look at Hebrews three point thirteen in this light,

144
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 6: I feel like wonder Woman. I think, you know what,

145
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 6: every time I encourage somebody, I am slashing at the enemy.

146
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 6: I am kicking him, I'm defeating him, I'm pushing him back.

147
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: You ever see wonder Woman.

148
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 6: You can be Clark Kent if you're a guy, stip

149
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 6: in in the phone booth and come out Superman.

150
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: But that's the truth. I really believe that.

151
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 6: I believe if we understand the power of encouragement, we're

152
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 6: going to be empowered to encourage. Listen, encourage your family,

153
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 6: Encourage your children, Encourage that coworker, Encourage your boss. Hey,

154
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 6: encouragement doesn't mean they're being you encourage them because they're

155
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 6: being nice to you. You encourage them because God is

156
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 6: impressing on you that if you'll do that, you can

157
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 6: stand on that defensive line.

158
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 3: And I really believe when he says encourage.

159
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 6: You one another daily, that that means there's a great

160
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 6: exchange that takes place. See if every one of us

161
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 6: would encourage someone daily, what would this world look like?

162
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 6: How strong would we really be?

163
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 3: See?

164
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 6: We can think a lot of things, we can think

165
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 6: a lot of encouragement, we can think about doing a

166
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 6: lot of things. But it's not until we stand strong

167
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 6: and take action and begin to impart courage to each.

168
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 3: Other that things will change.

169
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 2: You.

170
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 6: See, you can't do anything about someone's situation. Was talking

171
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 6: to a staff member the other day. Hurricane Harvey, five

172
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 6: feet of water in her home came rushing in. Her

173
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 6: family had to leave, her family or children. They had

174
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 6: to leave immediately. She left with nothing. When they got

175
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 6: themselves settled into a place of dry ground and the

176
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 6: reality started settling in that they had just lost all

177
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 6: their material possessions in their home, everything, she was devastated.

178
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 6: She said, I was so discouraged, I was so overwhelmed.

179
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 6: I felt numb, and I couldn't even move. My husband,

180
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 6: being ahead of the house, couldn't believe that he had

181
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 6: just lost everything, and how was he going to rebuild

182
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 6: his family's life.

183
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 3: He looked at her and he said, we got to

184
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 3: get out of the state.

185
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 6: We have got to get out of this situation in

186
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 6: our mind, this atmosphere of defeat.

187
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 3: Let's go to the church and help out.

188
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 6: We were people volunteers all over the place, distributing, doing

189
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 6: what they could do. She said, I simply sat there thinking,

190
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 6: I can't. I don't even know what to think. I

191
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 6: have no makeup, I have not even a hair tie

192
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 6: to tie my hair back with. I don't want to go.

193
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 3: Then she began.

194
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 6: To put a smile on her face and said, about

195
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 6: that time, a friend of mine showed up, showed up

196
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 6: with a bag full of makeup. She said, not only

197
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 6: did God tell her the color foundation that I wore,

198
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 6: she brought all the extras, the Msscara, the blush, and

199
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 6: the lip gloss. See, that's something that only a woman

200
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 6: can appreciate. You See, her friend that day was standing

201
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 6: in the defensive line for her.

202
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: See, her friend.

203
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 6: That day allowed God to breathe life back into her soul.

204
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 6: She was discouraged, she was overwhelmed, But that friend used

205
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 6: the power of encouragement to get her one step closer

206
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 6: to her victory, one step closer to her victory.

207
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 3: She said.

208
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 6: She put that makeup on, went to her husband and said,

209
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 6: I'm ready than ever to go. I'm as ready as

210
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 6: I'll ever be. He went to the church and began

211
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 6: to help other people.

212
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: I saw her yesterday. If you looked at her, you

213
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 3: wouldn't know that what she'd been through.

214
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 6: You wouldn't know that she was fighting the good fight

215
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 6: of fate because she said, every day God said, someone

216
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 6: show up to bring me courage and encourage my heart.

217
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: You see, the enemy wanted to defeat her.

218
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 6: He wanted to get her thinking going in the wrong direction.

219
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 6: Because see, if he can get your thinking going in

220
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 6: the wrong direction, he can get your life going in

221
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 6: the wrong direction. And that's what discouragement does. It gets

222
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 6: your life going in the wrong direction. Hey, as far

223
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 6: as it's up to us, we can't let those around

224
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 6: us see discouragement or be discouraged.

225
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: Because we're the Church of the Living God.

226
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 6: We are the superheroes for God Almighty. You see, we

227
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 6: could not do a thing about her five foot of

228
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 6: water in her home, right, I mean, we couldn't change

229
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 6: that situation.

230
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: I heard it said like this.

231
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 6: It's not what happens to you, it's what happens in

232
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 6: you that makes the difference. And because she had a

233
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 6: friend that day encourage her and in part courage, the

234
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 6: thing that the enemy wanted to do did not happen

235
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 6: in her. It didn't happen in her. You see, her

236
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 6: friend gave her that courage to keep her heart soft,

237
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 6: to believe that God had possibilities, that it could be

238
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 6: better than ever, that she could get up again and

239
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 6: move forward.

240
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: That's what encouragement does to us.

241
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 6: The Israelites in Exodus six, it says they were too

242
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 6: discouraged to believe. They couldn't even hear the words of

243
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 6: Moses when God was trying to tell them what he

244
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 6: wanted to do for them. Because they were so deep

245
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 6: and buried under discouragement, they could not even hear about

246
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 6: the God of the impossible.

247
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 3: Don't allow anyone around.

248
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 6: You to be discouraged, because we are here to tell

249
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 6: people about the God of the possible.

250
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 7: They don't have to lose hope because we serve the

251
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 7: God that can do anything, if we will stay encouraged

252
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 7: and continue to impart courage.

253
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 6: I truly believe that that exchange works two ways. We

254
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 6: will also be encouraged. When you encourage, you'll be encouraged.

255
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 6: When you're encouraged, you'll be strengthened to encourage yourself. Do

256
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 6: you know there's studies that say when you encourage people,

257
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 6: when you help someone, that it is an emotional high

258
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 6: that literally releases dopamine in your brain and makes you happy.

259
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 6: You see, it empowers you. And when you're empowered with

260
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 6: this emotion of happiness, then you can go and help

261
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 6: other people. When you're empowered with emotion of happiness, you

262
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,479
Speaker 6: can help yourself.

263
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 3: Because see, I.

264
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 6: Truly believe there will be days that we have to

265
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 6: encourage ourself, just like David. But God wants us to

266
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 6: get good at encouraging others and encouraging ourselves because those

267
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 6: days that we can't, He'll provide.

268
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 3: Just like my friend.

269
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 6: You know, sometimes encouragement is just simply showing up with

270
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 6: a broom and a mop or a bag of makeup.

271
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 3: You see, we need to encourage not only with our words,

272
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 3: but with our actions.

273
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 6: Ask God, give me somebody every day, God that I

274
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 6: can have a exchange with that I can encourage in

275
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 6: a meaningful and profound way. If we will all ask

276
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 6: God to give us that one person. Put that one

277
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 6: person on our heart, whether it's your child, your husband,

278
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 6: your friend, your coworker, your boss. I believe that God

279
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 6: will do things in our life that we can't even ask,

280
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 6: think or imagine. Amen, let's push back darkness with our encouragement.

00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 8: With millions of books on Amazon, there's a reading feeling

291
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 8: for everyone. For example, Raquel's whoa when she first entered

292
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 8: the Kingdom by dragon back is different to Ari's whoa

293
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 8: when he found out there was more than one crime scene,

294
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 8: which is also different to Ava's whooa the moment when

295
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 8: the stable boy became a stable man. From WHOA two,

296
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 8: Whoa twoo Amazon books that reading feeling awaits.
