Male announcer: this program is brought to you in part
00:00:01.448 --> 00:00:03.149

Coming up next on "changing your world."
00:00:08.021 --> 00:00:11.124
Taffi dollar: i don't know how god does what he does,
00:00:11.191 --> 00:00:13.426
He is god.
00:00:13.426 --> 00:00:14.928
He does what he wants to do.
00:00:14.928 --> 00:00:17.163
He just needs someone to trust him and to be led by him, and to
00:00:17.163 --> 00:00:21.201
Do what he says to do, and to move forward, not to be stuck
00:00:21.201 --> 00:00:26.506
And intimidated by the hard times and by the giants
00:00:26.506 --> 00:00:31.044
In our life.
00:00:31.044 --> 00:00:34.848
He says, "this sickness is not unto death," how many
00:00:34.848 --> 00:00:37.383

Taffi: how many of you know, sometimes in life people will
00:01:50.490 --> 00:01:53.560
Try to talk you into doing what is in their heart?
00:01:53.560 --> 00:02:01.234
And saul was trying to talk david into wearing his armor.
00:02:01.234 --> 00:02:06.206
Obviously it wasn't working for saul 'cause saul wasn't out
00:02:06.206 --> 00:02:09.976
There fighting the enemy but yet he wanted david to put it on.
00:02:09.976 --> 00:02:14.614
And what sense does that make if it's not working for you,
00:02:14.614 --> 00:02:19.319
What makes you think it's going to work for me?
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.523
If it hasn't given you victory, i don't want it.
00:02:23.523 --> 00:02:29.329
I need something that's going to work, something that's been
00:02:29.329 --> 00:02:32.165
Tried, something that is true, something that has a promise.
00:02:32.165 --> 00:02:39.706
And so there was no victory in their lives.
00:02:39.706 --> 00:02:46.012
And that's why you can't take advice from everybody.
00:02:46.012 --> 00:02:51.684
Trying to live off of somebody else's revelation,
00:02:51.684 --> 00:02:57.590
Someone else's fear, 'cause you know what?
00:02:57.590 --> 00:02:59.659
We can pass down our fears.
00:02:59.659 --> 00:03:02.562
So you gotta ask yourself this morning, what am i passing down?
00:03:02.562 --> 00:03:08.167
When all is said and done, when the book is closed?
00:03:08.167 --> 00:03:13.940
What am i imparting?
00:03:13.940 --> 00:03:16.909
What am i going to create as a legacy, as a lineage?
00:03:16.909 --> 00:03:22.815
Because if we're not like david, they were those who were passing
00:03:22.815 --> 00:03:29.789
Off intimidated and as a result, they lived their lives in fear.
00:03:29.789 --> 00:03:36.796
Lived their lives in inferiority, they felt inferior
00:03:36.796 --> 00:03:40.867
To the giant, they felt inferior to the hard time, they felt like
00:03:40.867 --> 00:03:44.971
They couldn't measure up, that they were falling short,
00:03:44.971 --> 00:03:48.141
They felt inadequate.
00:03:48.141 --> 00:03:50.877
And so his older brother said, "david, what are you doing here,
00:03:50.877 --> 00:03:53.913
You don't belong here you're just a boy."
00:03:53.913 --> 00:03:58.985
But he was more than that.
00:03:58.985 --> 00:04:03.122
He was one who had the covenant on his mind, and he wanted
00:04:03.122 --> 00:04:08.628
To begin to see the reward.
00:04:08.628 --> 00:04:10.430
He probably had that daughter, that young girl on his mind too.
00:04:10.430 --> 00:04:14.600
She probably was pretty.
00:04:14.600 --> 00:04:15.935
And say, "oh, okay, i get her all right, let's see how we can
00:04:15.935 --> 00:04:18.705
Figure this thing out, okay."
00:04:18.705 --> 00:04:22.809
And so he was motivated, he was ready.
00:04:22.809 --> 00:04:29.415
And sometimes people can mean well by, you know, telling you
00:04:29.415 --> 00:04:34.253
And informing you of what hasn't happened.
00:04:34.253 --> 00:04:37.890
And, you know, in a war, you should wear this kind
00:04:37.890 --> 00:04:41.227
Of artillery, this protects this, and this protects that so,
00:04:41.227 --> 00:04:46.666
You know, arm yourself in this kind of way.
00:04:46.666 --> 00:04:50.370
So they could've had good intentions by telling him
00:04:50.370 --> 00:04:55.675
And saul giving him all those things, but david knew that
00:04:55.675 --> 00:05:01.447
That wasn't for him, that wasn't what he needed.
00:05:01.447 --> 00:05:06.719
He knew what he needed in the midst of the hard time.
00:05:06.719 --> 00:05:12.392
He knew what was necessary in order to win.
00:05:12.392 --> 00:05:17.096
And so we have to become secure in the lord.
00:05:17.096 --> 00:05:20.767
And we have to hear from him in the midst of hard times.
00:05:20.767 --> 00:05:25.238
You've gotta hear from god.
00:05:25.238 --> 00:05:27.106
I remember when i went to johannesburg about ten years ago
00:05:27.106 --> 00:05:30.943
And i was wrestling with whether i should go
00:05:30.943 --> 00:05:34.747
Or whether i should stay.
00:05:34.747 --> 00:05:37.417
I was talking to carla, my assistant at the time.
00:05:37.417 --> 00:05:40.953
I said, "carla, i really think that i am supposed to go,
00:05:40.953 --> 00:05:44.624
I think i'm supposed to be at this meeting.
00:05:44.624 --> 00:05:47.627
I really think that i'm supposed to be there."
00:05:47.627 --> 00:05:52.064
And she say, "you should go."
00:05:52.064 --> 00:05:55.435
And i was wrestling because there were those voices
00:05:55.435 --> 00:05:58.871
That said, "don't go, you got enough, too expensive, too far.
00:05:58.871 --> 00:06:06.679
Get the tape, get the dvd.
00:06:06.679 --> 00:06:09.115
Just don't make it such a big deal."
00:06:09.115 --> 00:06:13.352
But in my knower i felt like i needed to go.
00:06:13.352 --> 00:06:21.661
And so many times in your life, you've got to be secure
00:06:21.661 --> 00:06:28.434
In what god is speaking.
00:06:28.434 --> 00:06:32.905
You've gotta spend time with him so you know what to do
00:06:32.905 --> 00:06:36.476
In the hard time.
00:06:36.476 --> 00:06:38.444
You've gotta know his voice.
00:06:38.444 --> 00:06:41.714
He wants you as his child to hear his voice,
00:06:41.714 --> 00:06:45.818
To know it's him.
00:06:45.818 --> 00:06:48.888
Of course, i hear from right in here, my mid area, and it was
00:06:48.888 --> 00:06:53.426
Just all over my being and i just couldn't shake it off.
00:06:53.426 --> 00:06:57.964
The next day i said,
00:06:57.964 --> 00:06:59.365
"well, let me just go to bed i'll sleep on it."
00:06:59.365 --> 00:07:01.234
Woke up the next day i kept feeling that same impression.
00:07:01.234 --> 00:07:05.571
God doesn't speak to me in necessarily an audible voice
00:07:05.571 --> 00:07:08.241
Per se, but it's right here in my innermost being that i hear
00:07:08.241 --> 00:07:12.111
God in my spirit, i guess.
00:07:12.111 --> 00:07:15.314
And so, you know, my life as a result was turned upside down,
00:07:15.314 --> 00:07:24.290
My life was changed.
00:07:24.290 --> 00:07:26.859
I was in a hard place, difficult place, crossroad, but i knew
00:07:26.859 --> 00:07:36.869
What god said to do.
00:07:36.869 --> 00:07:39.405
And so you have to know and to become secure in the lord and
00:07:39.405 --> 00:07:44.277
Hear from him and not let other people talk you out.
00:07:44.277 --> 00:07:53.853
Say, "amen," somebody.
00:07:53.853 --> 00:07:57.089
Follow god and do what he said because you know what?
00:07:57.089 --> 00:08:00.760
That's where your strength lies.
00:08:00.760 --> 00:08:05.364
David's strength wasn't in the armor or the sword,
00:08:05.364 --> 00:08:08.834
It was in trusting god.
00:08:08.834 --> 00:08:14.440
When goliath saw david walk around him with just
00:08:14.440 --> 00:08:17.343
A slingshot, he laughed at him, but david knew something.
00:08:17.343 --> 00:08:23.783
Look at what it says here.
00:08:23.783 --> 00:08:26.652
David says, "i cannot go in these."
00:08:26.652 --> 00:08:32.658
He protested.
00:08:32.658 --> 00:08:33.993
He said, "no, i'm not used to them."
00:08:33.993 --> 00:08:42.134
So he took them off again.
00:08:42.134 --> 00:08:44.537
You know what david did?
00:08:44.537 --> 00:08:46.105
"he picked up five smooth stones from a stream and put them
00:08:46.105 --> 00:08:54.213
In his shepherd's bag."
00:08:54.213 --> 00:08:59.652
Five smooth stones.
00:08:59.652 --> 00:09:01.721
Some say the number five means grace.
00:09:01.721 --> 00:09:06.692
That grace if that was, i'm telling you how many of you
00:09:06.692 --> 00:09:12.098
Know, grace got on those stones.
00:09:12.098 --> 00:09:15.201
Now, when i looked into this, technically, you know, you can
00:09:15.201 --> 00:09:20.306
Use a sling by harming someone.
00:09:20.306 --> 00:09:26.178
It is a weapon in many instances because i thought it was just,
00:09:26.178 --> 00:09:31.417
You know, like the little play thing.
00:09:31.417 --> 00:09:33.285
But no, this has the potential to do damage.
00:09:33.285 --> 00:09:36.989
And so it says, "he picked up."
00:09:36.989 --> 00:09:38.891
Now, i don't know if it was the, you know, the fact that god just
00:09:38.891 --> 00:09:43.596
Got on david or god got on the smooth stones, i don't know what
00:09:43.596 --> 00:09:47.733
Happened, all i know is that the giant went down, okay.
00:09:47.733 --> 00:09:55.341
I don't know how god does what he does, he is god.
00:09:55.341 --> 00:09:59.045
He does what he wants to do, he just needs someone to trust him
00:09:59.045 --> 00:10:03.616
And to be led by him and to do what he says to do, and to move
00:10:03.616 --> 00:10:07.219
Forward, not to be stuck and intimidated by the hard times
00:10:07.219 --> 00:10:14.060
And by the giants in our life.
00:10:14.060 --> 00:10:18.864
He says, "this sickness is not unto death."
00:10:18.864 --> 00:10:21.033
How many of you know you gonna live and not die?
00:10:21.033 --> 00:10:25.971
If he says you're not gonna be broke another day in your life,
00:10:25.971 --> 00:10:28.340
How many of you know you ready to prosper?
00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:29.709
You're going in.
00:10:29.709 --> 00:10:31.043
We're not living pay check to pay check anymore.
00:10:31.043 --> 00:10:35.915
We're not doing that anymore.
00:10:35.915 --> 00:10:38.851
And so it was those five smooth stones, glory be to god.
00:10:38.851 --> 00:10:46.125
Not rough stones, but smooth stones from a stream.
00:10:46.125 --> 00:10:52.131
Maybe the anointing got on the stream and then as a result,
00:10:52.131 --> 00:10:55.201
When david pulled him out, i don't know, he put 'em in his
00:10:55.201 --> 00:10:57.737
Shepherd's bag and, "then, armed only with his shepherd's staff."
00:10:57.737 --> 00:11:05.444
That's all he had.
00:11:05.444 --> 00:11:07.613
"and sling, he started across to fight goliath."
00:11:07.613 --> 00:11:16.322
Woo, my goodness, my goodness.
00:11:16.322 --> 00:11:20.559
How many of you know it's on right now?
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.363
Let me give you some keys to defeat the giants in your life.
00:11:24.363 --> 00:11:32.404
Number one, show up for the battle ready to fight.
00:11:32.404 --> 00:11:38.611
That's what david did, he showed up.
00:11:38.611 --> 00:11:43.382
He didn't stay home in the bed and say, "well, you know,
00:11:43.382 --> 00:11:46.619
I'm tired today children.
00:11:46.619 --> 00:11:48.954
I'm not going, you know, y'all figure it out."
00:11:48.954 --> 00:11:53.759
He showed up.
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:58.397
For some of us, part of the victory is just showing up.
00:11:58.397 --> 00:12:08.040
When i lost my mom, i had to make up in my mind,
00:12:08.040 --> 00:12:12.878
"i'm getting out of this bed i gotta show up.
00:12:12.878 --> 00:12:15.447
I gotta do something different.
00:12:15.447 --> 00:12:18.284
I gotta fight this grief, i gotta fight this sorrow.
00:12:18.284 --> 00:12:22.188
I gotta fight this depression.
00:12:22.188 --> 00:12:26.659
I gotta resist.
00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:29.495
I gotta change my postures, change my position.
00:12:29.495 --> 00:12:33.532
Nothing is going to change, taffi, if you stay in this bed,
00:12:33.532 --> 00:12:37.236
You gotta show up."
00:12:37.236 --> 00:12:41.974
I had to turn off the sad songs.
00:12:41.974 --> 00:12:48.314
You know, i'm climbing up the rough side of the mountain
00:12:48.314 --> 00:12:50.950
Trying to make heaven my home.
00:12:50.950 --> 00:12:52.484
I had to turn all that off.
00:12:52.484 --> 00:12:55.788
"nobody's coming to your pity party.
00:12:55.788 --> 00:13:01.427
Taffi, no one is accepting your invitation,
00:13:01.427 --> 00:13:04.263
You gonna have to figure this out."
00:13:04.263 --> 00:13:08.100
Had to talk to myself.
00:13:08.100 --> 00:13:11.503
You gotta talk to yourself so that you can do what needs
00:13:11.503 --> 00:13:15.474
To be done to show up.
00:13:15.474 --> 00:13:18.510
God, what do i need to do?
00:13:18.510 --> 00:13:21.647
You have a plethora of answers.
00:13:21.647 --> 00:13:24.350
There are a myriad of solutions in your presence.
00:13:24.350 --> 00:13:28.554
There are answers that are waiting
00:13:28.554 --> 00:13:30.055
In the presence of the lord.
00:13:30.055 --> 00:13:34.260
And for david, it was to show up, to be there.
00:13:34.260 --> 00:13:41.033
When his father said, "david, take this down to your brothers.
00:13:41.033 --> 00:13:45.104
Go check on them, bring me back a report."
00:13:45.104 --> 00:13:50.676
David could've said, "no, i'm not going.
00:13:50.676 --> 00:13:52.878
You don't tell me what to do."
00:13:52.878 --> 00:13:54.213
But you know what, he went.
00:13:54.213 --> 00:13:57.182
He showed up for the battle ready to fight.
00:13:57.182 --> 00:14:00.085
So this is the first point that i want us to make note of
00:14:00.085 --> 00:14:03.856
As we bring this to a close.
00:14:03.856 --> 00:14:05.791
Show up for the battle, ready to fight.
00:14:05.791 --> 00:14:13.933
You don't always get to pick the place or the time.
00:14:13.933 --> 00:14:18.837
You say, "lord, i didn't bring on this.
00:14:18.837 --> 00:14:20.940
This ain't even my situation.
00:14:20.940 --> 00:14:23.642
I ain't even have anything to do with this.
00:14:23.642 --> 00:14:26.378
This just came into my life."
00:14:26.378 --> 00:14:29.715
What is all--what meaneth this?
00:14:29.715 --> 00:14:31.317
What is this about?"
00:14:31.317 --> 00:14:34.787
God says, "this is about me.
00:14:34.787 --> 00:14:39.925
I'm going to give you the victory.
00:14:39.925 --> 00:14:42.728
This battle belongs to me not you."
00:14:42.728 --> 00:14:48.867
But we have to be ready and be willing and to take heed
00:14:48.867 --> 00:14:57.676
To what god is leading us to do.
00:14:57.676 --> 00:15:00.846
And so we have to take the fight to the enemy.
00:15:00.846 --> 00:15:04.984
Look at that.
00:15:04.984 --> 00:15:08.087
Take the fight to the enemy.
00:15:08.087 --> 00:15:14.626
Talking to a friend of mine the other day, we were at an event
00:15:14.626 --> 00:15:18.364
And she unfortunately as a result of some things that she's
00:15:18.364 --> 00:15:23.235
Been working on, her spouse decided that he didn't wanna be
00:15:23.235 --> 00:15:27.940
Married anymore and wanted to leave the marriage.
00:15:27.940 --> 00:15:34.213
So i was talking with her and prayed and just broke my heart
00:15:34.213 --> 00:15:40.285
To hear the news.
00:15:40.285 --> 00:15:41.887
And i said, you know, you've got to immerse yourself
00:15:41.887 --> 00:15:49.361
In the word of god.
00:15:49.361 --> 00:15:53.198
You've got to make a decision on what you're going to do.
00:15:53.198 --> 00:16:00.539
You've gotta decide that this is a fight and you gotta decide
00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:07.513
How you're gonna show up in this fight.
00:16:07.513 --> 00:16:11.250
David made up in his mind that he didn't just defeat the lion
00:16:11.250 --> 00:16:15.320
And the bear, he made up in his mind that he was going to go
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:19.458
After them and he went--not only did he fight them, but he stole,
00:16:19.458 --> 00:16:24.663
Took back what they were trying to steal.
00:16:24.663 --> 00:16:31.103
And so many times in our life it's the enemy's plan to try
00:16:31.103 --> 00:16:35.240
To take back what god has already given us.
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.644
You have to make up in your mind,
00:16:38.644 --> 00:16:40.245
"how am i going to respond?"
00:16:40.245 --> 00:16:42.881
The audacity of this devil, the nerve,
00:16:42.881 --> 00:16:49.321
The unmitigated gall
00:16:49.321 --> 00:16:53.625
Of this demon to show up in my life.
00:16:53.625 --> 00:17:00.566
Generations have prayed, the cloud of witnesses have prayed,
00:17:00.566 --> 00:17:05.437
The armies of heaven, how am i gonna respond?
00:17:05.437 --> 00:17:12.010
What will i do?
00:17:12.010 --> 00:17:15.914
So we have to make up in our mind that we have to take back
00:17:15.914 --> 00:17:21.887
What the enemy has tried to steal from us.
00:17:21.887 --> 00:17:26.992
Look at what it says in proverbs chapter 6, verse 31.
00:17:26.992 --> 00:17:33.499
Let's put that one up there.
00:17:33.499 --> 00:17:37.736
Proverbs 6, verse 31 says, "but if he is caught,"
00:17:37.736 --> 00:17:44.476
He's talking about the enemy.
00:17:44.476 --> 00:17:46.979
If he is caught, 'cause he's a sneaky little thing, he'll make
00:17:46.979 --> 00:17:52.718
You think you're fighting somebody and oh, it's them and,
00:17:52.718 --> 00:17:55.787
You know, fighting against flesh and blood and it's this person,
00:17:55.787 --> 00:17:59.391
This person and it is not our fight to get in strife and
00:17:59.391 --> 00:18:07.499
Contention with people and to, you know, focus in on people,
00:18:07.499 --> 00:18:15.140
It's that spirit behind that the enemy uses to cause friction
00:18:15.140 --> 00:18:22.381
And havoc in life.
00:18:22.381 --> 00:18:24.816
But he says, but if, if, if, if, he is caught,
00:18:24.816 --> 00:18:31.390
You gotta shine the light on the devil because
00:18:31.390 --> 00:18:33.425
He wants to hide behind, you know, generations.
00:18:33.425 --> 00:18:35.894
"well, it's always been this way, you know,
00:18:35.894 --> 00:18:37.529
This just runs in your family.
00:18:37.529 --> 00:18:39.298
So just get with it."
00:18:39.298 --> 00:18:40.666
No, i got promise.
00:18:40.666 --> 00:18:47.706
And that curse is broken because of the blood of jesus.
00:18:47.706 --> 00:18:53.178
Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law being made
00:18:53.178 --> 00:18:56.181
A curse for us.
00:18:56.181 --> 00:18:57.716
I catch you.
00:18:57.716 --> 00:19:01.887
Not going out like that.
00:19:01.887 --> 00:19:03.589
He says, "but if he's caught, he must pay.
00:19:03.589 --> 00:19:08.460
He must pay back seven times what he stole."
00:19:08.460 --> 00:19:14.733
And that was david's mindset.
00:19:14.733 --> 00:19:16.268
He said, "oh, no.
00:19:16.268 --> 00:19:18.670
You know, even when the lions come out here and the bears
00:19:18.670 --> 00:19:22.140
Come out here and they try to steal my stuff when i'm out here
00:19:22.140 --> 00:19:25.244
In the field, oh no, i take back what belongs to me.
00:19:25.244 --> 00:19:28.513
I'm not just sitting back and saying, 'well, you know, i hope
00:19:28.513 --> 00:19:33.852
I'll get another one, or maybe, you know, that was god's--'" no.
00:19:33.852 --> 00:19:40.325
"that was god's will." no, that wasn't god's will.
00:19:40.325 --> 00:19:44.129
He says, "even if he has to sell everything in his house,"
00:19:44.129 --> 00:19:49.201
Think of that.
00:19:49.201 --> 00:19:50.936
"but if he be found," one translation says,
00:19:50.936 --> 00:19:53.372
"he shall restore sevenfold and he shall
00:19:53.372 --> 00:19:58.010
Give all the substance of his house."
00:19:58.010 --> 00:20:05.984
And i'm telling you, the enemy will try to do everything that
00:20:05.984 --> 00:20:08.520
He can just like he tried to talk me outta going to be where
00:20:08.520 --> 00:20:12.658
I knew i needed to be, to get the revelation that i needed
00:20:12.658 --> 00:20:15.827
To have in my life, to break chains, to get rid
00:20:15.827 --> 00:20:21.066
Of generational curses and all these things, you've got to
00:20:21.066 --> 00:20:25.404
Shine the light and then as a result you'll begin to walk
00:20:25.404 --> 00:20:30.108
In the blessing and you'll receive payback, you'll receive
00:20:30.108 --> 00:20:34.946
Restitution, restoration, you'll receive wholeness,
00:20:34.946 --> 00:20:38.784
You'll receive deliverance, you'll receive healing,
00:20:38.784 --> 00:20:42.120
You'll receive everything, everything.
00:20:42.120 --> 00:20:48.093
That god said was yours.
00:20:48.093 --> 00:20:52.698
So in closing, i'm gonna close with
00:20:52.698 --> 00:20:54.132
This point right here and make a note,
00:20:54.132 --> 00:20:58.570
"you'll never win a battle that you don't show up for."
00:20:58.570 --> 00:21:05.310
Amen, somebody.
00:21:05.310 --> 00:21:10.549
Sometimes, like i said, it's just making a decision.
00:21:10.549 --> 00:21:15.387
Oh, devil.
00:21:15.387 --> 00:21:17.856
No, you didn't, we are going to resist.
00:21:17.856 --> 00:21:27.065
We're not going to accept this because this is not what god's
00:21:27.065 --> 00:21:32.904
Word says, this is not what his plan says for my life.
00:21:32.904 --> 00:21:40.145
So we have to make up in our mind that
00:21:40.145 --> 00:21:43.081
We're going to show up.
00:21:43.081 --> 00:21:47.285
So lord, we just thank you,
00:21:47.285 --> 00:21:50.188
Thank you so much for our time together.
00:21:50.188 --> 00:21:52.824
Thank you that your people have heard your word.
00:21:52.824 --> 00:21:57.629
I pray that it has fallen upon good ground.
00:21:57.629 --> 00:21:59.931
I pray that it will cause a conception that there will be
00:21:59.931 --> 00:22:06.905
That which you will cause to multiply and to bring forth
00:22:06.905 --> 00:22:14.146
A harvest in the lives of these, your precious people.
00:22:14.146 --> 00:22:17.282
So lord, help us to be mindful of what to do in hard times and
00:22:17.282 --> 00:22:24.423
To find strength, to find hope, to find joy, to find confidence,
00:22:24.423 --> 00:22:32.130
To find encouragement, to find what we need is necessary so
00:22:32.130 --> 00:22:37.302
That we can experience victory.
00:22:37.302 --> 00:22:41.106
And say to 'em we remind you any giants that are in our life,
00:22:41.106 --> 00:22:47.345
Any diagnoses, any bad reports, we cancel it and render it void
00:22:47.345 --> 00:22:55.620
And ineffective right now in the name of jesus.
00:22:55.620 --> 00:22:59.991
You have no authority in our bodies, in our homes, in our
00:22:59.991 --> 00:23:05.163
Finances, in our relationships.
00:23:05.163 --> 00:23:08.166
We send the alert right now, you are defeated and under our feet.
00:23:08.166 --> 00:23:15.674
We arrest you, we resist your authority, we renounce it right
00:23:15.674 --> 00:23:20.412
Now because we have faith in what the blood has accomplished.
00:23:20.412 --> 00:23:27.085
So we thank you that grace has made,
00:23:27.085 --> 00:23:29.621
And we take it by faith right now.
00:23:29.621 --> 00:23:32.491
Male announcer: are you trying to ignore the trouble spots
00:23:36.628 --> 00:23:38.630
In your life?
00:23:38.630 --> 00:23:39.965

Where we're worse off than where we were before.
00:23:56.147 --> 00:23:59.084
You gotta make up in your mind,
00:23:59.084 --> 00:24:00.418

Taffi: after visiting many countries all over the world,
00:25:37.048 --> 00:25:40.185
We've come to understand that we all have a lot in common and we
00:25:40.185 --> 00:25:44.456
Have very similar vital needs.
00:25:44.456 --> 00:25:47.559
