1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joeln Victoria. 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279 Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,239 Speaker 2: the ministry. If you enjoy today's message, why don't you 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 2: be a blessing and share it with a friend, reappreciate 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 2: you and pray for God's very best in your life. 6 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 2: Thanks for letting us come into your homes. We are 7 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 2: praying for you and your family. I know God has 8 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 2: you in the palm of his hand. And during this 9 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 2: season where we can't gather in person, this is a 10 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 2: great time to stay connected with us through our social media, 11 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: our podcast, or any of our online platforms. Maybe you've 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 2: never visited our YouTube channel. It's the easiest and quickest 13 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 2: way to get access to all these messages that can 14 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: keep you encouraged and inspired throughout the week. But great 15 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: to have you today. Let's get started with our confession. 16 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 17 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: I am what it says I am. I have what 18 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 2: it says I have. I can do what it says 19 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 20 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: of God. Boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart 21 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus's name, 22 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 2: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 23 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: about in the middle of a miracle. When we go 24 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: through challenges, it's easy to live worried and stressed. We 25 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 2: wonder when it's going to change, and when is God 26 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: going to do something, When in fact God is doing something. 27 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: He's keeping the sickness from taking us out. He's holding 28 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 2: back the opposition. He's not letting the addiction defeat us. 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: We don't realize it, but we're in the middle of 30 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: a miracle. God is in the process of bringing us out. 31 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: Without his favor, we would be overcome. Without his protection, 32 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: we would be defeated. One day we'll look back and say, 33 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: look what the Lord has done. Look at how God 34 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: sustained me in that tough time. Look at how he 35 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: healed me from that disease. Look at how he promoted 36 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: me despite the opposition. Now God is working behind the scenes, 37 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: making things happen that you can't see. If it wasn't 38 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: for his goodness, his favor, his mercy, you wouldn't be 39 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: able to withstand what's trying to stop you. You're not 40 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: in this difficulty by yourself. The Most High God is 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: pushing back forces of darkness. One time, Joshua and his 42 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: men were in a valley fighting the Amalekites. They had 43 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: attacked the Israelites. They were bigger and stronger, but against 44 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 2: all odds, Joshua was winning. The whole time, Moses was 45 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: on a hill holding his staff in the air, and 46 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 2: as long as he had his staff up, Joshua was winning. 47 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: I can imagine Joshua thought he was defeating the opposition 48 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: in his own strength. He didn't realize the only reason 49 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: he was winning was because Moses was holding up his staff. 50 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: And sometimes we think we're making it through the difficulty 51 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: because we're tough, we're smart. That's part of it. But 52 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: what you can't see is the creator of the universe 53 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: is breathing in your direction. The God who spoke worlds 54 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: into existence, is sustaining you, favoring you, healing you. Like 55 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: Moses up on the hill. You can't see him, but 56 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: God is causing you to win. That's why that car 57 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: barely missed you on the freeway. That's why that addiction 58 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: couldn't finish you off. That's why the virus can't stop 59 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: your destiny. The forces that are for you are greater 60 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: than the forces that are against you. Paul said, God 61 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: always causes us to triumph. If you're not seeing the 62 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: victory yet, don't panic. You're in the middle. That's not 63 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: how your story ends. God is holding up the staff, 64 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: so to speak. You can't be defeated. The enemy can't 65 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 2: stop God's plan for your life. Healing is coming, freedom 66 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: is coming, Breakthroughs are coming. God is about to show 67 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: out in your life. He's going to do things that 68 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: you can't do on your own. It's going to be uncommon, unusual. 69 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: That's why you can't figure it out. It's not going 70 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: to be natural. It's going to be supernatural. But in 71 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 2: the middle, it can be frightening. In the middle, all 72 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 2: you see is the opposition, how big the obstacles are, 73 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 2: how bad the problem is. Thoughts will tell you it's 74 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 2: never going to work out, you'll never get well, never 75 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 2: break the addiction. You have to remind yourself things are 76 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: happening that you can't see. It may look permanent, you 77 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: don't see anything improving. The truth is it's only the middle. 78 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 2: Your time is coming. God wouldn't have allowed it if 79 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: it was going to keep you from your destiny. Now 80 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: keep the right perspective. You're not just fighting cancer. You're 81 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 2: in the middle of a miracle. God is in the 82 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: process of restoring your health. That test one day will 83 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: be your testimony. You'll look back and say, with David, 84 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 2: where would I be without the goodness of God. You're 85 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: not just struggling in your finances. You're in the middle 86 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: of a miracle. The enemy thought he was setting you back. 87 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,799 Speaker 2: He didn't realize he was setting you up. Your story 88 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 2: doesn't end to defeat. God is about to do a 89 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 2: new thing. Promotion is coming, opportunities are coming. The right 90 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: people well, Joel. The stock market is down, the economy 91 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: is slow. I don't have the work I used to. 92 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 2: The economy is not your source. 93 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: God is your source. 94 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: The stock market may be down, but God is not 95 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: having a bad year. He owns it all. One touch 96 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 2: of his favor will put you into overflow. When you 97 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: keep God first place, when you honor Him with your life, 98 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 2: you are connected to a supply line that will never 99 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: run drive. The scripture says, even in famine, you will 100 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: have more than enough. When things are drying up all 101 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: around you, you should be in lack struggling. You will 102 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 2: see supernatural provision, increase, promotion, opportunity. That doesn't make sense. 103 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: Isaiah said, God makes rivers in the desert. He makes 104 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: streams in the barren places. You can't have a river 105 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 2: in the desert. If it's barren, you couldn't have water 106 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: freely flowing. This is showing us God is going to 107 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 2: do unusual things. He's going to take you up when 108 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: all the circumstances say you should be going down. He's 109 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: going to bring opportunity, promotion when things should be drying up. 110 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: You're not only going to be amazed, but other people 111 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 2: are going to see the favor of God is on 112 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 2: your life. Well, Joel, this sounds good, but I don't know. 113 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 2: It's tough. In my life. Things are slow at work. 114 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 2: This virus has me so worried. I don't know how 115 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: I'm going to make it. That's calling in more defeat. 116 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: Turn it around. Yes, things are slow, but I know 117 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 2: a secret. I'm in the middle of a miracle. God 118 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 2: is working behind the scenes. He's supplying all of my needs. 119 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: He has a hedge of protection around my family. Get 120 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: in agreement with God. You can't talk defeat and have victory. 121 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: You can't think negative and live positive. Can't go around 122 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: afraid panic and reach your destiny. You are drawing in 123 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: what you're thinking about. Don't use your energy to worry, 124 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 2: use your energy to believe. After God delivered the Israelites 125 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: out of slavery, they headed toward the Promised Land, but 126 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: Pharaoh changed his mind and sent six hundred of his 127 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: fastest chariots and most skilled warriors to recapture them. These 128 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 2: two million Israelites were at a dead end at the 129 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: Red Sea. They had nowhere to go. Moses held up 130 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 2: his staff and the water's parted. But it's interesting how 131 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 2: God brought them out. We read about it now and 132 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: it's so encouraging, inspiring, these huge walls of water being 133 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: held back, the people walking through on dry ground. In 134 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: the movies, they're going through so calm, peaceful, rejoicing what 135 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: God had done. But I don't think that's how it happened. 136 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 2: Imagine being there with twenty feet walls of water on 137 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,679 Speaker 2: each side, not knowing if at any moment the walls 138 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 2: were going to collapse. Mothers were holding onto their babies 139 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: for dear life, Fathers grabbing their little children's hands, running 140 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 2: as fast as they could, people carrying the elderly. It 141 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 2: wasn't peaceful. It was chaotic. The wind was holding back 142 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 2: the water was incredibly noisy. There was confusion, turmoil. People 143 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: were panicked, worried, thinking any moment those walls could come 144 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: crashing down. They weren't calm and collected. They were afraid. 145 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 2: They finally made it through to the other side. Then 146 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: they started rejoicing. Then they started giving God praise. When 147 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 2: you're in the middle of a miracle, sometimes it will 148 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: feel chaotic. You may not hear angels playing harps and 149 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: the Heavenly Choir singing. The circumstances may not be calm 150 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: and reassuring. It may look like all hell is breaking loose. 151 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 2: The medical report looks worse. The virus is spreading faster. 152 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: The economy is taking a nosedive. It's easy to live panicked, worried, 153 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 2: not able to sleep at night. God is saying, be 154 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 2: still and know that I am God. Those walls of 155 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: water may look scary. You could think of a hundred 156 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 2: things that could go wrong. But God didn't bring you 157 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 2: this far to leave you. He's the one holding up 158 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 2: the walls. He's pushing back the darkness. He's keeping the 159 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: trouble from defeating you. It may look frightening, the circumstances 160 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 2: seem overwhelming, stay in peace. You're in the middle of 161 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 2: a miracle. God may not deliver you from the trouble. 162 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: He may take you through the trouble. Those walls of 163 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 2: water that look so intimidating, that's not a sign that 164 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 2: you're done. That's a sign that breakthroughs are up ahead. Promotion, freedom, 165 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 2: healing is in your future. Yes, the winds are strong, 166 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 2: the opposition bigger than anything you faced, but it's not 167 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: a surprise to God. He's not going to let the 168 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: water collapse. He's going to bring you safely through to 169 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 2: the other side. But it's interesting how God brought the 170 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 2: Israelites out. He didn't give them a bridge across the 171 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: Red Sea. That would have been so much more peaceful. 172 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 2: They wouldn't have had to worry about the walls of water. 173 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 2: He could have sent them a big ship, had Carnival 174 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: crews pull up with several of their cruise liners. The 175 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: Israelites could have gone across in comfort, secure, not had 176 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 2: any fears. But God doesn't always bring us out the 177 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 2: most comfortable way. He doesn't always make it easy to 178 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: where we don't have any opposition, any reason to live 179 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: worried or afraid. This is what faith is all about 180 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: trusting him between the walls of water. Be it at 181 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 2: peace when others are panicked, staying calm when you don't 182 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 2: know how it's going to work out. The scripture says 183 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 2: God sent a strong east wind to blow the water's back. 184 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: Imagine how strong that wind had to be to blow 185 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: back twenty feet of water and sustain it. That means 186 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 2: it had to keep blowing. It was loud, noisy, chaotic. 187 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: In one sense, God sent a storm on top of 188 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 2: another storm. You could think this couldn't be God. Things 189 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: are getting worse instead of better. You don't know what 190 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 2: God is up to those winds that are so noisy, 191 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: the trouble, the opposition. That's not going to keep you 192 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: from your destiny. It's leading you to your destiny. You're 193 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 2: not close to your miracle only when everything is calm 194 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 2: and peaceful. Sometimes it's the opposite, when it's chaotic, when 195 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 2: you're tempted to panic, live afraid, that means your miracle 196 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: is on the way. Right now, we're dealing with this virus. 197 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 2: We could live worried. What if I can't go to work, 198 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: what about my finances. I'm afraid I'm gonna get sick. 199 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 2: I'm worried about my children. Come back to a place 200 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 2: of peace. Yes, there's uncertainty. We don't know what the 201 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 2: future holds, but we do know who holds the future. 202 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 2: God is still on the throne. You can't see it, 203 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: but he's holding up walls of water. He's keeping you 204 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: from evil and harm. He's sustaining you in the famine. 205 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 2: He's bringing healing and wholeness. He's protected, providing, favoring. You're 206 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 2: in the middle of a miracle. Now do like Paul 207 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 2: and Silas. They were arrested for sharing their faith and 208 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: put in the deepest dungeon. They were locked behind prison doors, 209 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: had chains around their feet. They could have been depressed, complaining, worried, 210 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: but they understood this principle. They were not just in 211 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 2: the middle of a dungeon. They were in the middle 212 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 2: of a miracle. They knew the same God that sent 213 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 2: the wind to blow back the Red Sea for the 214 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 2: Israelites could make a way where they didn't see away. 215 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: Now at midnight they started singing praises to God. When 216 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 2: you can sing in the storm, when you can praise 217 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 2: through the pain, when you can thank God he's working. 218 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 2: Instead of complaining about the trouble. Get ready, your miracle 219 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 2: is on the way. All of a sudden, there was 220 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: a great earthquake. The prison doors flung open, chained face 221 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 2: off their feet, they walked out as free men. God 222 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 2: sent an earthquake. He used another storm to get them 223 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 2: out of a storm. Don't be surprised if God does 224 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 2: it an unusual way. Like Paul and Silas, you may 225 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 2: feel like you're in the middle of trouble, dealing with 226 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: an illness, worried about your finances, concerned about your children. 227 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 2: What you're up against seems bigger, stronger. But you have 228 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: to do like them and recognize you're not just in 229 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: the middle of difficulty. You're in the middle of a miracle. 230 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: If you will start thanking God that he's working, thanking 231 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 2: him that he's bigger than what you're facing, thanking him 232 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: that he's holding up the walls of water, then you're 233 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: going to see situations suddenly turn around. Suddenly you get well, 234 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 2: Suddenly your child gets back on course, Suddenly that problem resolves. 235 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 2: When you're in the middle, you have to turn up 236 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: your praise Father, Thank you that no weapon and formed 237 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: against me will prosper. Thank You that this difficulty didn't 238 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 2: come to stay, it came to pass. Thank you that 239 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: even now things are changing in my favor. I know 240 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 2: a young man named Chris that's been attending Lakewood with 241 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 2: his family since he was nine years old. He grew 242 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 2: up healthy and very active, but at seventeen, he started 243 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 2: having fever and fluctuation in his way. He eventually lost 244 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: the strength and mobility in his legs. After two weeks 245 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 2: in the hospital, he was diagnosed with a rare form 246 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: of lupus. He could have been discouraged, given up on life, 247 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 2: but Chris is a fighter. He knew he wasn't just 248 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: in the middle of a rare sickness. He was in 249 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 2: the middle of a miracle. He decorated the walls of 250 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 2: his house with scripture verses, I will live and not 251 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 2: die and declare the works of the Lord by his stripes, 252 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 2: I am healed. Chris started volunteering here at Lakewood. I 253 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: would see him faithful, serving, helping others year after year. 254 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: I've never heard Chris complain, never seen him without a smile. 255 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: If you ask him how he's doing, he's going to 256 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 2: tell you that he's blessed, that he's healed, that he 257 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 2: has the favor of God. It's one thing to believe 258 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: that when everything's going your way, that's easy. The real 259 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 2: test comes when life throws you a cur when you're 260 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 2: facing something that's out of your control. Chris continued to 261 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 2: struggle with his health. One day he looked like he'd 262 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 2: gained fifty pounds, another day he looked skin in bones. 263 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 2: He spent time in and out of the hospital fighting 264 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 2: the good fight of faith. Didn't seem like he was 265 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 2: in the middle of a miracle. The medical report said 266 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 2: he would never get well, but God can do what 267 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 2: medicine cannot do. Medical science may run out of options, 268 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: but God never runs out of options. He breathed life 269 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 2: into you. He has the final say. Chris is forty 270 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: years old now. After fighting over twenty years, his heart 271 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 2: and kidneys began to fail in October. He was hospitalized 272 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,479 Speaker 2: and given a temporary pump to keep his heart beating. 273 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 2: The doctor said his only chance of survival was a 274 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 2: heart transplant. He was placed on the waiting list, but 275 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: there were so many ahead of him it seemed unlikely 276 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 2: that he would make it. He's been in the hospital 277 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 2: the last five months. In ICU, the doctors told him 278 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 2: that all of his organs would start to shut down. 279 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 2: Chris wouldn't hear of it. He kept declaring health, wholeness, victory, 280 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 2: and much to their surprise, he defied the odds and 281 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: his other organs remained healthy. Last week, his wife unexpectedly 282 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: received the call that they had been praying for so 283 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 2: long there was a donor for Chris. It just so happened. 284 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 2: It was a perfect match. Not only a heart like 285 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 2: they were praying for, but there were two kidneys as well. 286 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 2: The family stood outside and took pictures of the ambulance 287 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 2: arriving with Chris's new organs. He had the heart and 288 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 2: kidney transplant at the same time. The surgery was successful 289 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 2: and Chris is well on his way to the life 290 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 2: he's always been dreaming about, healthy and whole. There was 291 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: a prayer he prayed every day from Psalm fifty one. 292 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 2: God create in me a clean heart, he said. God 293 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 2: not only gave me a new heart, but he gave 294 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,479 Speaker 2: me kidneys as well. That's the way our God is. 295 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 2: He exceeds our expectations. It may look like that sickness 296 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 2: is permanent, that addiction is never going to change. You'll 297 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 2: never see your family restored it's too late, the problem's 298 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 2: too big. Can I encourage you? You're in the middle 299 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 2: of a miracle. God already has the solution. He's already 300 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 2: lined up the good breaks, the healing, the right people. 301 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: Don't believe the lies that you've seen your best days. 302 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 2: Do like Chris, live from a place of faith, a 303 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 2: place of trust. When you look at the circumstances, you 304 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,719 Speaker 2: could be negative, worried, think it is never going to change. 305 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 2: But if Chris were here, he would tell you God 306 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 2: is a faithful god. Your time is coming. He's not 307 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 2: only going to do what you ask, but he's going 308 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: to exceed your expectations. The scripture says, is there anything 309 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 2: too hard for the Lord? He spoke worlds into existence, 310 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 2: He flung stars into space. He has you in the 311 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 2: palm of his hand. What He's destined for your life 312 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 2: will come to pass. I believe right now. Faith is 313 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,479 Speaker 2: rising in your heart. Dreams are coming back to life. 314 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: Promises that you've given up on are about to be fulfilled. 315 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 2: You may be in a difficult time, but have a 316 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 2: new perspective. You're in the middle of a miracle. The 317 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: enemy wouldn't be coming against you if he didn't know 318 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 2: something amazing was in your future. This is not the 319 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 2: time to live worried afraid. The God who breathed life 320 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 2: into you is watching over you. He's keeping the walls up, 321 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: he's pushing back the opposition. He's ordering your steps, putting 322 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 2: you at the right place at the right time. Isaiah said, 323 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 2: say to the righteous, it shall be well with you. 324 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: You are the righteous. You wouldn't be listening if you 325 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 2: didn't have a heart after God. There's a lot of 326 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 2: fear and panic in the world, but this virus is 327 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 2: not going to stop your destiny. It shall be well 328 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 2: with you. The medical report may not look good. You've 329 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: been dealing with that sickness for years. It's not permanent. 330 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 2: It shall be well with you. Healing is on the way. 331 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 2: You lost a loved one. You don't think you can 332 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 2: go on. It's not the end. God has a new beginning. 333 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 2: Let this phrase sink down in your spirit. It shall 334 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 2: be well with you. You had a set back in your finances. 335 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 2: Business is slow. You don't know how you're going to 336 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 2: make it. God has it all figured out. He's your provider. 337 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 2: He closed the lilies of the field, He feeds the 338 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 2: birds of the air. He knows how to take care 339 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 2: of you. New doors are going to open, Opportunities are 340 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 2: going to come looking for you. It shall be well 341 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 2: with you. Now. The circumstances may look the opposite. Things 342 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 2: are coming against you, in your health, your finances, or relationship. 343 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 2: It may not be well now, but you have this 344 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 2: promise it shall be well. The opposition, the trouble of 345 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 2: the lack, is not the end. Why you're in the 346 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 2: middle of a miracle. Victory is coming, healing is coming, 347 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 2: freedom is coming, New levels are coming. Tewod King, chapter seven. 348 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,479 Speaker 2: The Syrian army had surrounded the city of Sameria and 349 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 2: cut off their food supply. The Israelites were starving and 350 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 2: faced certain death. There were four lepers sitting outside the 351 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 2: city gates. They said, we're gonna die here anyway. Let's 352 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: go down to the enemy's camp and see what they're doing. 353 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 2: They started walking toward the Syrians. God caused the sound 354 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: of their footsteps to be multiplied. The scripture says the 355 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 2: Syrian army heard the clatter of thousands of speeding chariots 356 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 2: and the sound of a vast army approaching. They were 357 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 2: so afraid they panicked and took off running into the desert, 358 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 2: fleeing for their lives. They left in such a hurry 359 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 2: they didn't take any of their possessions, any of their 360 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: food supplies, their gold, their silver, They left everything behind. 361 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 2: When the Lepers arrived, they couldn't believe it. They didn't 362 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: know what happened. They went back and told the Israelites 363 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 2: they came and gathered up all their food and below longing. 364 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 2: It was a great victory. But what's interesting is when 365 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 2: the Lepers were walking to the enemy's camp, they didn't 366 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 2: hear anything different. Even though God multiplied the sound of 367 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 2: their footsteps, they couldn't hear it. Everything seemed normal to them. 368 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 2: They were just doing what they knew to do. What 369 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: they couldn't see was God was working behind the scenes, 370 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 2: doing things they never dreamed. In the natural, they didn't 371 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,479 Speaker 2: have a chance. But we served a supernatural God. They 372 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 2: thought it was the end. There was no way they 373 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 2: could live. All the odds were against them. They didn't 374 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 2: realize they were in the middle of a miracle. God 375 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 2: was making things happen that they knew nothing about. When 376 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 2: you're doing the right thing, making decisions that honor God, 377 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 2: you may not see anything improving. You still have that 378 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 2: problem at work. Your health hasn't gotten better, your finances 379 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: look just the same. What you can't see is God 380 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 2: is behind the scenes, orchestrating things in your favor, lining 381 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 2: up the brakes you need, moving the wrong people out 382 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 2: of the way. Seems like where you are is permanent. 383 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 2: But God is causing people to hear what they need 384 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 2: to hear. He's multiplying what you know nothing about. You're 385 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: going to see things fall into place that don't make sense. 386 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 2: Like these lepers, You'll be scratching your head thinking how 387 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 2: did that happen? You thought you were stuck in your career, 388 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 2: gone as far as you can, but out of nowhere, 389 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: promotion came to you. A door opened that you could 390 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: never open. You thought you would never get well, but 391 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 2: it wasn't the end. Like Chris, you were in the 392 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 2: middle of a miracle. Against all odds, your health began 393 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 2: to turn around. Now what if these lepers would have thought, 394 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 2: we don't have a chance, No use walking down there, 395 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: that's wasting our time. They would have missed their miracle. 396 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 2: Every circumstance said they were done, they were outnumbered, they 397 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 2: had a dreaded disease. But when they dared to take 398 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 2: that step of faith. Things supernaturally turned around. You may 399 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 2: have opposition and things coming against you. You don't see 400 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 2: how your situation could resolve. But if you'll just keep 401 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 2: moving forward in faith, knowing that God is in the 402 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 2: process of bringing you out, that he's making things happen 403 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 2: that you can't see. Not believe in those lies that 404 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 2: where you are is permanent, then you're going to come 405 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 2: into these times where God shows out in your life, 406 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 2: where he makes things happen that you couldn't make happen. 407 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 2: Don't let the fact that it's stressful and you're tempted 408 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 2: to be panicked and worried convince you that it's not 409 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 2: going to work out. Most of the time, when you're 410 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,959 Speaker 2: in the middle of a miracle, it's not peaceful. There 411 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: are walls of water on each side that could collapse. 412 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 2: There's a phaiaoah chasing you and noise. Don't panic. God 413 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 2: has you right where he wants you. He's in control, 414 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 2: he's keeping the opposition from defeating you. It's just a 415 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 2: matter of time before you make it to the other side. 416 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 2: I'm asking you to live from a place of peace, 417 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 2: a place of trust. If you'll do this, I believe 418 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 2: and declare the forces that are trying to stop you 419 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 2: are being broken. Things are changing in your favor. Healing 420 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 2: is coming, freedom, promotion, breakthroughs. All will be well with 421 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 2: you in Jesus's name, And if you receive it, can 422 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 2: you say amen today? Well, I'd like to give you 423 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 2: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 424 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 2: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 425 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 2: repent of my sins, Come into my heart, Make you 426 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 2: my Lord and savior.
