Hi, this is Joelan Victoria. Thanks for listening 42 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 4: to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. 43 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 5: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a 44 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 5: blessing and share with a friend. 45 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 4: We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in 46 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 4: your line. Now, God bless you. It's a joy to 47 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 4: come into your homes, and if you're ever in our area, 48 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 4: please stop by be a part of one of our services. 49 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 4: I promise you we'll make it feel right at home. 50 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 4: I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard 51 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 4: about this six year old boy. He was standing in 52 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 4: the church lobby staring at a large plaque on the wall. 53 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 4: It was filled with names with small American flags by 54 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 4: their side. He asked the pastor what it meant. The 55 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 4: pastor explained how that was a memorial to all the 56 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 4: young men and women that died in the service. The 57 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 4: little boy stood there silently, very concerned. He finally looked 58 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 4: up and asked, was it the eight thirty or eleven 59 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 4: o'clock service? Say it like you mean it. This is 60 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 4: my Bible. I am what it says. I am. I 61 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 4: have what it says I have, do what it says 62 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 63 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 4: of God. I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my 64 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 4: heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus' name, 65 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 4: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 66 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 4: about the fight for your future. We all have things 67 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 4: that come against us in life. People that aren't fair, 68 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 4: a sickness that won't seem to go away, or a 69 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 4: setback in our finances. Sometimes it was no fault of 70 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: our own. We were born into difficulties. Parents that weren't around, 71 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 4: depression and addictions that keep getting passed down. We wonder 72 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 4: why am I having this opposition? Why was I raised 73 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 4: in an unhealthy childhood? Why did this company let me 74 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 4: go after all these years. It's because there's something in 75 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 4: you that the enemy's trying to stop. Those bad breaks 76 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: were not random. You weren't just unlucky. Those were strategic attacks. 77 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 4: If the enemy wasn't threatened by you, he wouldn't be 78 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 4: trying to hold you back. If he couldn't see greatness 79 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 4: in you, he wouldn't waste his time bringing those challenges. 80 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 4: When you gave your life to Christ, God marked you, 81 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 4: he said you're mine. He put that crown of favor 82 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 4: on your head. That's great, But the challenge is you 83 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 4: became a target to the enemy. He knows you're destined 84 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 4: to take new ground. He knows God has favored you 85 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 4: to leave your mark, so he's going to work overtime 86 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 4: to try to stop you. Many times, the enemy knows 87 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 4: who we are even before we realize who we are. 88 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 4: When David was a teenager working out in the shepherd's fields, 89 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 4: he seemed as ordinary as can be. He didn't have 90 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 4: a significant position taking care of his father's sheep. He 91 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 4: didn't come from well an influence. They were a low 92 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 4: income family. Nothing about David that stood out. Why did 93 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 4: his father leave him in the shepherd's fields When Samuel 94 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 4: came to anoint one of the sons as the next king, 95 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 4: was no big deal to bring him in. Why did 96 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 4: he disrespect David and look down on him like that 97 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 4: when David took lunch to his brothers when they were 98 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 4: in the army. Why did his oldest brother be little 99 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 4: David and make fun of him? Why was he jealous? 100 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 4: David wasn't intimidating, didn't seem like he was any threat 101 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 4: to them. But the enemy can see things in you 102 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 4: that you may not see in yourself. David saw himself 103 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 4: as ordinary, but even the enemy knew he was a 104 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 4: giant killer. He knew he was a history maker. That's 105 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 4: why he came against David so strongly. Many of the 106 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 4: difficulties you faced, things it didn't make sense, opposition that 107 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 4: came out of nowhere, people that turned on you. It's 108 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 4: because there's a giant killer in you. There's a history maker. 109 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 4: You may not be able to see it yet, but 110 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 4: even the enemy can see there's greatness in you. Have 111 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 4: a new perspective. Those difficulties are a sign something amazing 112 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 4: is in your future. Mark Chapter five. There was a 113 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 4: man that was possessed with evil spirits. It had gotten 114 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 4: so bad no one could control him. They sent him 115 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 4: to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, to 116 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 4: a place called the Gatines, where he could live among 117 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 4: the tombs in a graveyard, a deserted place. They tried 118 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 4: to chain him up, but he was so strong he 119 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 4: would break the chains. All through the night and day. 120 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 4: He would wander through the tombs, wearing no clothes, cutting 121 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 4: himself and screaming. This man didn't look like he had 122 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 4: much of a chance. Deranged in his mind, society had 123 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 4: written him off. I can imagine some nights there were 124 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 4: moments of sanity where he would look up and say, God, 125 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 4: please help me. Why am I so tormented God. I 126 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 4: want to go back home. It looked like this was 127 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 4: his destiny. People had given up on him, But God 128 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 4: never gives up on us. Nobody is too far gone. 129 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 4: Don't write your child off, don't write your neighbor off, 130 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 4: your cousin off. May seem like they're too bad, too addicted, 131 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 4: too depressed, too far off. Course, the enemy wouldn't be 132 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 4: fighting them that hard if there wasn't something amazing on 133 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 4: the inside of them. Jesus was in Galilee teaching people 134 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 4: on the shore. When he finished that day, instead of 135 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 4: going to rest where he normally did, he told the 136 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 4: decide peoples he wanted to cross to the other side 137 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 4: of the lake where the man was. In the middle 138 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 4: of the night, while they were on the boat, a 139 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 4: huge storm arose. The waves started crashing over the boat, 140 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 4: filling it with water. Looked like it was going to sink. 141 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 4: Jesus was asleep in the back. The disciples frantically ran, Jesus, 142 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 4: wake up, We're about to die. Jesus stood up and 143 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 4: spoke to the storm peace be still. Suddenly the winds 144 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 4: and waves stopped. Everything was perfectly calm. The next morning, 145 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 4: when they arrived on the shore, Jesus was getting out 146 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 4: of the boat when this deranged man came running up 147 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 4: to him, fell on his knees and started screaming. Jesus 148 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 4: spoke to the demons and told them to come out. 149 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 4: Instantly the man was healed. This scripture says they saw 150 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 4: the man sitting fully clothed in his right mind. What's 151 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 4: interesting is when Jesus was on the boat headed toward 152 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 4: the man, the huge storm that arose wasn't random, wasn't 153 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: just to act and nature just a coincidence. That was 154 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: the enemy trying to stop Jesus from getting to the man. 155 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 4: You would think the enemy would be satisfied. I mean, 156 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 4: the man was possessed out of his mind, cutting himself. 157 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 4: Surely he's no threat, he'll never do anything great. No, 158 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 4: the enemy knew, despite all he had done, despite the cutting, 159 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 4: the torment, the confusion, that this man still had greatness 160 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 4: in him, that he still had a destiny to fulfill, 161 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 4: dreams to accomplish. When he saw Jesus crossing the lake, 162 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 4: he thought, I've got to stop him. I've got to 163 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 4: keep him from getting here. There is a fight for 164 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 4: your future. But what I want you to see is 165 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 4: it's not your battle. God is fighting for you. The 166 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 4: enemy may send the storms, opposition that looks too big. 167 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 4: Don't worry. God controls the winds. He overrides every negative force, 168 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 4: the winds that are trying to stop you from your destiny. 169 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 4: God is speaking to them right now. Breakthroughs are coming, 170 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 4: Healing is coming, Freedom is coming. Things that look like 171 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 4: they could never turn around. The storm seems darker than ever. 172 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 4: On your own, You don't have a chance that you're 173 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 4: not on your own. Get ready, Favor is coming, Victory 174 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 4: is coming. Like this man, you're gonna see God override 175 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 4: what's trying to stop you. There's no storm too strong 176 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 4: for our God to calm, no giant too big for 177 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 4: him to defeat, no fire too hot that he can't 178 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 4: step in and bring you out. This man that was deranged, 179 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 4: he didn't know that Jesus had spoken to the winds. 180 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 4: He didn't know there was a huge storm that Jesus 181 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 4: had gone to great lengths to get to him. He 182 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 4: just saw him show up on the shore. You don't 183 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 4: know how many storms the enemy has sent to try 184 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 4: to keep God from getting to you, how many times 185 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 4: God has said, peace, be still, that's my son, that's 186 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,599 Speaker 4: my daughter. I'm gonna break those chains. They're going to 187 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 4: fulfill their destiny. God has been fighting for you your whole life, 188 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 4: pushing back forces of darkness, crossing lakes, calming storms, just 189 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 4: to get to you. Some of these battles took place 190 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 4: when you were a small child. The enemy knew way 191 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 4: back then what you were called to be. He could 192 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 4: see the favor and anointing on your life. He could 193 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 4: see you were destined for greatness. So he has worked 194 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 4: over time trying to stop your destiny through things you 195 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 4: had no control over. My father, as a two year 196 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 4: old little boy, was walking by a fire and he 197 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 4: fell into it. Nobody was around. He could have been 198 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 4: killed out of nowhere. Someone came and pulled him out. 199 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 4: He couldn't save himself. That was God fighting for him. 200 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 4: The enemy scent the storm, but God said, peace be still. 201 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 4: I have the final say. The enemy can't stop your life. 202 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 4: He can't stop your destiny. David said in Psalm thirty, Lord, 203 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 4: I praise you for you. Refuse to let my enemies 204 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 4: triumph over me. Why did that fire not take my 205 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 4: father out? God? Refuse to let the enemy triumph? Why 206 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 4: did that accident not harm you? God refuse to let 207 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 4: it harm you. Why did you beat the cancer? Why 208 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 4: did that unhealthy childhood not stop you? Why hasn't that 209 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 4: addiction finished you off? Because God's purpose is more more 210 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 4: powerful than the enemy's plan. The forces of darkness cannot 211 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 4: stop what God has ordained for you. If you only 212 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 4: knew all the things God has refused to let happen 213 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 4: to you. You may have had some bad breaks, disappointments, 214 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 4: but just the fact that you're still here is a 215 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 4: sign God's fever is on your life. There may be 216 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 4: obstacles trying to stop you. Now you don't understand it. 217 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 4: It's because there's greatness in you. The enemy doesn't come 218 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 4: against people that don't have anything. If you weren't a threat, 219 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 4: he'd leave you alone. In one sense, you can take 220 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 4: it as a compliment. Yes, I have big obstacles, but 221 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 4: I know it's because I have a big destiny. Had 222 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 4: some bad breaks, disappointments, but they could not finish me 223 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 4: all I'm still standing. The enemy wouldn't have wasted so 224 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 4: much time and energy on you if there wasn't something 225 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 4: amazing in your future. Now do your part, stay in faith. 226 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 4: Don't go around complaining about what didn't work out. What 227 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 4: you didn't get, God is still working. He's a god 228 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 4: of justice. He will make up for what was unfair. 229 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 4: He will pay you back for the wrongs that were 230 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 4: done Way back as a small child. The enemy knew 231 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 4: my father would be the first one in our family 232 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 4: to give his life to Christ. He knew he would 233 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 4: be the one to break the cycle of poverty that 234 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 4: had limited us for generations. He knew Daddy would start Lakewood, 235 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 4: that he would leave children and grandchildren to continue it on. 236 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 4: No wonder he tried to stop him in the fire. 237 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 4: No wonder his family told him. All he knew how 238 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 4: to do was Pitt Cotton that he could never become 239 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 4: a minister. No wonder one church ask him to resign 240 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 4: because his message of faith and victory did fit in. 241 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 4: When you have a big future, the enemy is not 242 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 4: going to just roll out the red carpet and let 243 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 4: you fulfill it, Paul said, First Corinthians. A wide door 244 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 4: of opportunity is open to me, and there are many adversaries. 245 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 4: The many adversaries doesn't mean God has forgotten about you, 246 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 4: doesn't mean you've been left out. It's because of the 247 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 4: wide doors that are about to open. It's because of 248 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 4: the favor that's in your future. You can look back 249 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 4: over your life and see things that came against you, 250 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 4: Some that you had nothing to do with, things that 251 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 4: weren't fair. You were left out, mischaracterized, made to look bad. 252 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 4: Other times you tried to step up to a new level, 253 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 4: You tried to set a new standard, but opposition came 254 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 4: out of the woodwork, things that you've never faced. There 255 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 4: are forces that don't want you to take new ground. 256 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 4: When the enemy sees you start to make progress, he'll 257 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 4: send the storm, the winds, the waves. That's when God 258 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 4: will step up and say, peace be stilled. The storms 259 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 4: cannot stoff our God. What you're up against is not 260 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 4: a sign that you're stuck. It's a sign promotion is coming. 261 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 4: The storm is a sign God is close to the shore. 262 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 4: You're about to see things change in your favor. When 263 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 4: Moses was born, the Pharaoh had put out a decree 264 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 4: that all the Hebrew male babies were to be killed 265 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 4: at birth. Fabor was concerned that the Israelites would get 266 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 4: bigger than the Egyptians and overtake them. Not only that, 267 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 4: it was prophesied that Moses would deliver the Israelites out 268 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 4: of slavery. It wasn't a coincidence that Moses was born 269 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 4: into adversity, born with forces against him. Nothing he had 270 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 4: done wasn't his poor choices, But from his birth the 271 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 4: enemy was trying to stop him. His mother hid him 272 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 4: in the house for three months. Eventually he got too big. 273 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 4: She thought he would be found and killed, so she 274 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 4: put him in a small basket and sent him floating 275 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 4: down the Nile River. It just so happened. Pharaoh's daughter 276 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 4: was out taking a bath when she heard the cries 277 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 4: coming from the basket. She opened it and couldn't believe it. 278 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 4: She fell in love with this little baby. What's interesting 279 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 4: is she knew he was a Hebrew baby. She knew 280 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 4: he wasn't supposed to live. Her father was the one 281 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 4: that made the decree, But for some reason, she and 282 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 4: her father, the pharaoh, decided it was okay for her 283 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 4: to keep the baby and raise it as her own. 284 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 4: When God is fighting your battles, things will happen that 285 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 4: don't make sense. When he says peace be still, storms 286 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 4: that look empt possible will suddenly calm down. Maybe you 287 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 4: were raised in an environment that wasn't real healthy, You 288 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 4: have plenty of reasons to be sour and think that 289 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 4: you could never do anything great. You've been through too much. 290 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 4: How do you know you're not a Moses? How do 291 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 4: you know that adversity is not a sign that greatness 292 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 4: is in you? That the enemy tried to push you 293 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 4: down to keep you from leaving your mark, but God 294 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 4: stepped up and said peace be still. He didn't bring 295 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 4: you through because you're ordinary. Now you need to step 296 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 4: into your greatness. Quit believing those lies that you've had 297 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 4: too many bad breaks, too much against you. It's too unfair. 298 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 4: It doesn't have to be fair for God to do 299 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 4: something awesome in your life. In fact, when it's not fair, 300 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 4: when you're the underdog, when the enemy's trying to stop you, 301 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 4: that's when God steps up and shows out the most. 302 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 4: Wasn't fair that David's own family belittled him, but that 303 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 4: didn't stop him from taking the throne. Wasn't fair that 304 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 4: Joseph was thrown into a pit, lied about, put in prison, 305 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 4: but that didn't stop him from becoming the prime minister. 306 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 4: Wasn't fair that Moses was born under a death threat 307 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 4: parents had to hide him, but that didn't stop him 308 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 4: from delivering the Israelites, who says it has to be 309 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 4: fair for you to fulfill your destiny. No bad break 310 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 4: has canceled God's plan for your life. No injustice, no disappointment, 311 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 4: no person. The reason it's not fair is because there's 312 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 4: something in you that the enemy doesn't want out. There's 313 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 4: an assignment God has for you that the enemy is 314 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 4: trying to stop, an anointing and empowerment, a favor that 315 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 4: he doesn't want you to see. The good news. He 316 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 4: doesn't have the final say. Now get ready to step 317 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 4: in to your greatness. My sister Lisa was born with 318 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 4: something like cerebral paulsy. The doctors told my parents she 319 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 4: may never be able to walk or feed herself. First year, 320 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 4: she couldn't lift her head, had no sucking reflexes, but 321 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 4: by the grace of God, over time, she defied the 322 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 4: odds kept getting better and better. Growing up, there were 323 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 4: five of us kids in the house, and all of 324 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:35,719 Speaker 4: us except Lisa, we're very athletic, played sports, stayed active. Lisa, 325 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 4: having come through that birth injury, couldn't do everything we could, 326 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 4: and when we were choosing teams to play kickball with 327 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 4: our friends in the neighborhood. Lisa would always be chosen 328 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 4: toward the very end, right before my brother Paul. But 329 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 4: it seemed like it was one bad break after another 330 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 4: for Lisa. In her early twenties, she went through a 331 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 4: break up in a relation she had, very hurtful, very unfair. 332 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 4: Not long after that, she was working with us here 333 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 4: at the church opening my father's moil. One day she 334 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 4: opened this package and it exploded in her lap. It 335 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 4: was a mill bomb. Blew up part of her leg, 336 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 4: injured her stomach. She was rushed to the hospital, had 337 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 4: to have surgery. The investigators told us if the package 338 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 4: would have been turned long ways in her lap instead 339 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 4: of sideways, she would have been instantly killed. It was 340 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 4: a pipe bomb. When it exploded, the nails blew out 341 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 4: sideways away from her instead of into her. Why did 342 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 4: Lisa have all these things coming against her since she 343 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 4: was a baby. The enemy knew there was something special 344 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 4: in her and anointing to teach, a gifting, to leave 345 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 4: a favor to help build people. Every time the enemy 346 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 4: sent a storm, God stepped up and said peace be still. 347 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 4: When the bomb exploded, God said, bomb, you can't finish 348 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 4: her off. I have the final say God refused to 349 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 4: let her enemies triumph over her. Lisa says, I opened 350 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 4: the bomb, and now I am the bomb. What's come 351 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 4: against you has not been random. Those were strategic attacks 352 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 4: for one reason, because of what's in you purpose, destiny, greatness, 353 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 4: and if you will keep moving forward not get bitter 354 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 4: over what hasn't worked out, at some point you're going 355 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 4: to step in to what the enemy didn't want you 356 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 4: to see, new levels of favor, opportunity like you've never dreamed. 357 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 4: God has taken you where you couldn't go on your own. 358 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 4: A friend of mine grew up in a large family 359 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 4: in Puerto Rico, had seventeen brothers and sisters. His parents 360 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 4: were heavily in witchcraft. When he was three years old, 361 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 4: his mother was in a trance. She declared over him 362 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 4: that he was the son of Satan. He was too 363 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 4: young to know any better, but imagine having people speaking 364 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 4: things like that over your life. Didn't seem fair. Looked 365 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 4: like he was at a disadvantage, But people don't have 366 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 4: the final say. What you can't see is behind the scenes, 367 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 4: the most taighed God is fighting for you. He overrules 368 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 4: every negative thing that people have spoken. Fifteen years old, 369 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 4: this young man moved to New York City with one 370 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 4: of his brothers. Six months later, he was the leader 371 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 4: of one of the most violent and feared street games. 372 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 4: Fighting and stealing were a part of his everyday life. 373 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 4: A year later, his best friend was stabbed and died 374 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 4: in his arms, like the deranged man that was cutting himself. 375 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 4: Didn't seem like this young man had the future. He 376 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 4: would never amount to much. He was too far off course. 377 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 4: But what he couldn't see was God was crossing the 378 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 4: lake to get to him. God was on the way 379 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 4: to turn things around. When forces come against you that strongly, 380 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 4: you can be assured there's a great purpose for your life. 381 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 4: There's great potential on the inside. One night, a minister 382 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 4: came up to him on the street and invited him 383 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 4: to a service that he was having. This young man 384 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 4: made fun of him and threatened to beat him up. 385 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 4: But when you plan a seed, you never know when 386 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 4: it's going to take root. The next night, the young 387 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 4: man and his whole game showed up at the service. 388 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 4: They were planning to disrupt things and cause trouble, But 389 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 4: when he began to hear about the love and forgiveness 390 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 4: of our God, he felt something on the inside that 391 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 4: he had never felt. At the end of the service, 392 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 4: against all awe odds, he stood up and gave his 393 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 4: life to Christ. Instantly, changes were broken off of his mind. 394 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 4: He felt a new sense of purpose, a new sense 395 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 4: of destiny. He knew he was no longer the son 396 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 4: of Satan. He was the son of the Mosah God. 397 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 4: When you can't fight for yourself, you have to know 398 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 4: God is fighting for you. He is bigger than any 399 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 4: force that's trying to hold you back. He's bigger than 400 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,479 Speaker 4: negative words that were spoken over you. He's bigger than 401 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 4: the addiction, bigger than how you were raised, bigger than 402 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 4: that sickness. You wouldn't have that difficulty if there wasn't 403 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 4: greatness in you today. Our friend Nicki Cruz is an 404 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 4: amazing minister. He goes around the world telling what God 405 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 4: has done. But what I'm saying is Nicki couldn't change 406 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 4: that on his own. Being born in that environment seemed unfair. 407 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 4: The man that was deranged cutting himself, he couldn't get 408 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 4: free by himself. Even people couldn't help him. That's why 409 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 4: they sent him away. The good news is you have 410 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 4: someone fighting for you behind the scenes. God's pushing back 411 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 4: forces of darkness, making things happen that you couldn't make happen. 412 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 4: The scripture says, stand still and you will see the 413 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 4: deliverance of the Lord. You keep doing the right thing, 414 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 4: and God will take care of what's stopping you. He'll 415 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 4: turn the opposition around, He'll move the wrong people out 416 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 4: of the way. He'll give you the breaks you need 417 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 4: to get you to where you're supposed to be. When 418 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 4: I first started ministering back in nineteen ninety nine, it 419 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 4: seemed like everyone was for me. People were so encouraging, 420 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 4: cheering beyond many of you. But after a couple of 421 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 4: years I started having some opposition and people that didn't 422 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 4: understand me. I used to think, why are they coming 423 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 4: against me? Just trying to keep the church going, talking 424 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 4: about the goodness of God. I'm not bothering anybody else. 425 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 4: I realize now the enemy doesn't fight you for where 426 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 4: you are. He fights you for where you're going. I 427 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 4: thought I would always be at the same level. I 428 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 4: was satisfied to maintain where we were. But God had 429 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 4: something bigger in me, things that I couldn't see. The 430 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 4: enemy wasn't fighting me for where I was. He was 431 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 4: fighting me for the Compact Center. He was fighting me 432 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,719 Speaker 4: for my books, for serious exem for the Knights of Hope. 433 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 4: You may be doing the right thing, but you have opposition. 434 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 4: You don't understand it. It's because there's something in your 435 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 4: future much bigger than you think. You can't see it 436 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 4: right now, but even the enemy knows it's coming. He 437 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 4: knows you're a giant killer, You're a history maker that 438 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 4: you're going to affect generations to come. Now. Quit being 439 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 4: discouraged by what's against you. If you aren't a threat, 440 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 4: the enemy wouldn't be bothering you. It's because of the 441 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 4: greatness that's in you. What's come against you may be bigger, stronger. 442 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 4: Don't worry. The most tied God is fighting for you 443 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 4: right now. He's crossing the lake. Say in peace, be stilled. Now, 444 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 4: I believe and declare. Every storm that you're facing is 445 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 4: beginning to dissipate.
