Jesus' name. god bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:19.068 --> 00:01:20.069
I want to talk to you today about angels are coming. we
00:01:20.136 --> 00:01:22.872
About angels are coming. we all have times that can be
00:01:22.939 --> 00:01:24.374
All have times that can be overwhelming. we're dealing
00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:26.109
Overwhelming. we're dealing with an illness, a child is
00:01:26.176 --> 00:01:28.077
With an illness, a child is difficult to raise, trying to
00:01:28.144 --> 00:01:30.013
Difficult to raise, trying to pay bills, doors aren't
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:31.848
Pay bills, doors aren't opening for our dreams. we've
00:01:31.915 --> 00:01:33.716
Opening for our dreams. we've done the right thing. we've
00:01:33.783 --> 00:01:35.351
Done the right thing. we've worked hard but it hasn't
00:01:35.418 --> 00:01:36.953
Worked hard but it hasn't improved. now the pressure
00:01:37.020 --> 00:01:39.122
Improved. now the pressure feels like too much. we don't
00:01:39.189 --> 00:01:40.990
Feels like too much. we don't see how we can go on. it's
00:01:41.057 --> 00:01:43.193
See how we can go on. it's not that we're weak. it's not
00:01:43.259 --> 00:01:44.727
Not that we're weak. it's not that we don't have faith,
00:01:44.794 --> 00:01:46.129
That we don't have faith, it's battle fatigue. i talked
00:01:46.196 --> 00:01:48.565
It's battle fatigue. i talked to a man that's lived a
00:01:48.631 --> 00:01:49.566
To a man that's lived a blessed life, god's been good
00:01:49.632 --> 00:01:51.568
Blessed life, god's been good to him, but he's had some
00:01:51.634 --> 00:01:53.803
To him, but he's had some setbacks, a relationship is
00:01:53.870 --> 00:01:55.338
Setbacks, a relationship is not working out. his
00:01:55.405 --> 00:01:56.406
Not working out. his business is struggling,
00:01:56.472 --> 00:01:58.007
Business is struggling, he said, “joel, i'm at a
00:01:58.074 --> 00:01:59.275
He said, “joel, i'm at a breaking point. i can't
00:01:59.342 --> 00:02:00.843
Breaking point. i can't take it anymore.” god
00:02:00.910 --> 00:02:02.679
Take it anymore.” god sees what you're going
00:02:02.745 --> 00:02:04.080
Sees what you're going through. he knows when it's
00:02:04.147 --> 00:02:05.949
Through. he knows when it's too much. the scripture
00:02:06.015 --> 00:02:07.951
Too much. the scripture says, “god is a very present
00:02:08.017 --> 00:02:09.819
Says, “god is a very present help in times of trouble.”
00:02:09.886 --> 00:02:12.922
Help in times of trouble.” when you feel overwhelmed,
00:02:12.989 --> 00:02:15.091
When you feel overwhelmed, thinking you can't go on,
00:02:15.158 --> 00:02:16.326
Thinking you can't go on, god doesn't sit idly by,
00:02:16.392 --> 00:02:17.694
God doesn't sit idly by, and think, “too bad. you're
00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:19.128
And think, “too bad. you're on your own.” no, god will
00:02:19.195 --> 00:02:20.964
On your own.” no, god will send angels to strengthen
00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:22.565
Send angels to strengthen you, to encourage you,
00:02:22.632 --> 00:02:24.834
You, to encourage you, to help lighten that load.
00:02:24.901 --> 00:02:27.136
To help lighten that load. angels are called
00:02:27.203 --> 00:02:28.605
Angels are called ministering spirits. they are
00:02:28.671 --> 00:02:30.707
Ministering spirits. they are messengers that god uses to
00:02:30.773 --> 00:02:32.842
Messengers that god uses to carry out his will, to fight
00:02:32.909 --> 00:02:34.978
Carry out his will, to fight battles, to push back forces
00:02:35.044 --> 00:02:36.946
Battles, to push back forces of darkness, and to breathe
00:02:37.013 --> 00:02:38.848
Of darkness, and to breathe new life into your spirit, to
00:02:38.915 --> 00:02:41.084
New life into your spirit, to refresh and re-energize you.

You may be tired today. you love god. you're grateful but
00:02:46.022 --> 00:02:48.157
Love god. you're grateful but you're weary. you don't see
00:02:48.224 --> 00:02:49.926
You're weary. you don't see how you can keep moving
00:02:49.993 --> 00:02:50.994
How you can keep moving forward, dealing with the
00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:52.595
Forward, dealing with the anxiety, believing for your
00:02:52.662 --> 00:02:54.564
Anxiety, believing for your dreams. you've stood strong
00:02:54.631 --> 00:02:56.699
Dreams. you've stood strong as long as you can, but you
00:02:56.766 --> 00:02:58.167
As long as you can, but you think, “i can't handle this
00:02:58.234 --> 00:02:59.402
Think, “i can't handle this anymore.” be encouraged,
00:02:59.469 --> 00:03:01.804
Anymore.” be encouraged, angels are coming, strength

Coming. you're going to feel a supernatural power, lifting
00:03:07.510 --> 00:03:09.812
A supernatural power, lifting that load, a new attitude,
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.315
That load, a new attitude, giving you a second wind so
00:03:12.382 --> 00:03:14.284
Giving you a second wind so you can step up and fulfill
00:03:14.350 --> 00:03:16.252
You can step up and fulfill your purpose. god knew at
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:18.521
Your purpose. god knew at times the load would be
00:03:18.588 --> 00:03:19.789
Times the load would be heavy. he knew the pressures
00:03:19.856 --> 00:03:22.125
Heavy. he knew the pressures could feel overwhelming. he's
00:03:22.191 --> 00:03:24.427
Could feel overwhelming. he's not faulting you because
00:03:24.494 --> 00:03:26.329
Not faulting you because you're not strong enough. you
00:03:26.396 --> 00:03:28.164
You're not strong enough. you should be tougher. he knows
00:03:28.231 --> 00:03:30.133
Should be tougher. he knows we're human. we all have
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:31.968
We're human. we all have breaking points. he sees you
00:03:32.035 --> 00:03:34.137
Breaking points. he sees you being your best, going the
00:03:34.203 --> 00:03:35.938
Being your best, going the extra mile, doing the right
00:03:36.005 --> 00:03:37.974
Extra mile, doing the right thing when nobody thanks you,
00:03:38.041 --> 00:03:39.842
Thing when nobody thanks you, working hard but not seeing
00:03:39.909 --> 00:03:41.277
Working hard but not seeing results. he's about to step
00:03:41.344 --> 00:03:43.446
Results. he's about to step in and do what you couldn't
00:03:43.513 --> 00:03:45.214
In and do what you couldn't do. he's already dispatched

Do. he's already dispatched the angels. they're on the
00:03:47.550 --> 00:03:49.419
The angels. they're on the way with healing in their
00:03:49.485 --> 00:03:51.154
Way with healing in their wings, with strength, with
00:03:51.220 --> 00:03:53.556
Wings, with strength, with favor, with fresh vision,
00:03:53.623 --> 00:03:55.558
Favor, with fresh vision, with victory. you may be at a
00:03:55.625 --> 00:03:57.927
With victory. you may be at a breaking point but get ready
00:03:57.994 --> 00:03:59.996
Breaking point but get ready a breakthrough is coming.
00:04:00.063 --> 00:04:01.431
A breakthrough is coming. in genesis 28, jacob had a
00:04:01.497 --> 00:04:04.567
In genesis 28, jacob had a dream. he saw this stairway
00:04:04.634 --> 00:04:07.537
Dream. he saw this stairway going up to the heavens. the
00:04:07.603 --> 00:04:09.339
Going up to the heavens. the scripture says, “there were
00:04:09.405 --> 00:04:10.406
Scripture says, “there were angels ascending and
00:04:10.473 --> 00:04:12.241
Angels ascending and descending.” they were in
00:04:12.308 --> 00:04:13.976
Descending.” they were in heaven, and they'd come to
00:04:14.043 --> 00:04:15.411
Heaven, and they'd come to earth to carry out god's
00:04:15.478 --> 00:04:16.713
Earth to carry out god's will. then they'd go back to
00:04:16.779 --> 00:04:18.481
Will. then they'd go back to heaven to get their next
00:04:18.548 --> 00:04:19.916
Heaven to get their next assignment. it was this
00:04:19.982 --> 00:04:21.551
Assignment. it was this constant flow of activity,
00:04:21.617 --> 00:04:23.853
Constant flow of activity, thousands and thousands of
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.188
Thousands and thousands of angels, ascending,
00:04:25.254 --> 00:04:26.689
Angels, ascending, descending. god was showing
00:04:26.756 --> 00:04:29.125
Descending. god was showing us how he's always working,
00:04:29.192 --> 00:04:31.728
Us how he's always working, dispatching angels to rescue,
00:04:31.794 --> 00:04:34.397
Dispatching angels to rescue, to strengthen, to move people
00:04:34.464 --> 00:04:36.532
To strengthen, to move people out of the way, to bring
00:04:36.599 --> 00:04:38.000
Out of the way, to bring answers to prayers.
00:04:38.067 --> 00:04:40.069
Answers to prayers. we all have situations where
00:04:40.136 --> 00:04:42.205
We all have situations where we could feel overwhelmed. we
00:04:42.271 --> 00:04:44.407
We could feel overwhelmed. we get a negative medical
00:04:44.474 --> 00:04:45.441
Get a negative medical report. we're still dealing
00:04:45.508 --> 00:04:47.276
Report. we're still dealing with an addiction. “how can i
00:04:47.343 --> 00:04:49.245
With an addiction. “how can i take care of my elderly
00:04:49.312 --> 00:04:50.480
Take care of my elderly parents and raise my children
00:04:50.546 --> 00:04:52.415
Parents and raise my children at the same time. this
00:04:52.482 --> 00:04:53.883
At the same time. this pressure is too much.” what
00:04:53.950 --> 00:04:56.085
Pressure is too much.” what you can't see is angels are
00:04:56.152 --> 00:04:57.987
You can't see is angels are coming. god has already
00:04:58.054 --> 00:04:59.922
Coming. god has already dispatched what you need.
00:04:59.989 --> 00:05:01.924
Dispatched what you need. he's not going to let you be
00:05:01.991 --> 00:05:03.126
He's not going to let you be defeated. angels are about to
00:05:03.192 --> 00:05:05.361
Defeated. angels are about to break chains that have held
00:05:05.428 --> 00:05:06.629
Break chains that have held you back. angels are bringing
00:05:06.696 --> 00:05:08.698
You back. angels are bringing freedom. angels are headed to
00:05:08.765 --> 00:05:10.733
Freedom. angels are headed to your children. angels are
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.802
Your children. angels are holding back wrong
00:05:12.869 --> 00:05:14.036
Holding back wrong influences. angels are in
00:05:14.103 --> 00:05:16.272
Influences. angels are in route bringing courage,
00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:17.273
Route bringing courage, energy, fortitude, so you can
00:05:17.340 --> 00:05:20.376
Energy, fortitude, so you can rise up and do what god's
00:05:20.443 --> 00:05:22.111
Rise up and do what god's called you to do.
00:05:22.178 --> 00:05:24.247
Called you to do. when jesus was on the earth,
00:05:24.313 --> 00:05:26.015
When jesus was on the earth, from the age of twelve to the
00:05:26.082 --> 00:05:27.884
From the age of twelve to the age of thirty, we don't read
00:05:27.950 --> 00:05:29.886
Age of thirty, we don't read anything about him. there's
00:05:29.952 --> 00:05:31.521
Anything about him. there's nothing recorded in the
00:05:31.587 --> 00:05:32.722
Nothing recorded in the scripture for those eighteen
00:05:32.789 --> 00:05:34.590
Scripture for those eighteen years. but at thirty years
00:05:34.657 --> 00:05:36.793
Years. but at thirty years old, he was walking out to
00:05:36.859 --> 00:05:38.561
Old, he was walking out to the jordan river to be
00:05:38.628 --> 00:05:39.962
The jordan river to be baptized by john the baptist.
00:05:40.029 --> 00:05:42.565
Baptized by john the baptist. when john saw him, he
00:05:42.632 --> 00:05:44.200
When john saw him, he pointed, in front of a large
00:05:44.267 --> 00:05:45.968
Pointed, in front of a large crowd and said, “there's the
00:05:46.035 --> 00:05:47.570
Crowd and said, “there's the lamb of god who takes away
00:05:47.637 --> 00:05:49.539
Lamb of god who takes away the sin of the world.” he was
00:05:49.605 --> 00:05:51.841
The sin of the world.” he was announced publicly for the
00:05:51.908 --> 00:05:53.376
Announced publicly for the first time as being the
00:05:53.443 --> 00:05:54.911
First time as being the messiah. when he was baptized
00:05:54.977 --> 00:05:57.213
Messiah. when he was baptized by john, a voice boomed out,
00:05:57.280 --> 00:05:59.816
By john, a voice boomed out, “this is my beloved son in
00:05:59.882 --> 00:06:01.517
“this is my beloved son in whom i'm well pleased.” a
00:06:01.584 --> 00:06:03.286
Whom i'm well pleased.” a dove came and landed on his
00:06:03.352 --> 00:06:04.887
Dove came and landed on his shoulder, representing the
00:06:04.954 --> 00:06:06.322
Shoulder, representing the holy spirit. it was this
00:06:06.389 --> 00:06:08.157
Holy spirit. it was this incredible moment where jesus
00:06:08.224 --> 00:06:10.426
Incredible moment where jesus was about to begin his
00:06:10.493 --> 00:06:11.694
Was about to begin his ministry. after eighteen
00:06:11.761 --> 00:06:13.563
Ministry. after eighteen years of silence, now he was
00:06:13.629 --> 00:06:15.498
Years of silence, now he was ready to go. you would think
00:06:15.565 --> 00:06:18.000
Ready to go. you would think god would send him to a large
00:06:18.067 --> 00:06:19.635
God would send him to a large city, they'd have a big
00:06:19.702 --> 00:06:21.270
City, they'd have a big meeting, he'd start doing
00:06:21.337 --> 00:06:22.805
Meeting, he'd start doing miracles. or he'd go to
00:06:22.872 --> 00:06:24.841
Miracles. or he'd go to government leaders,
00:06:24.907 --> 00:06:26.309
Government leaders, influential people and be
00:06:26.375 --> 00:06:27.810
Influential people and be celebrated and recognized.
00:06:27.877 --> 00:06:30.446
Celebrated and recognized. but the scripture says, “the
00:06:30.513 --> 00:06:32.081
But the scripture says, “the spirit led jesus into the
00:06:32.148 --> 00:06:34.650
Spirit led jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by
00:06:34.717 --> 00:06:36.853
Wilderness to be tempted by the enemy.”
00:06:36.919 --> 00:06:38.488
The enemy.” you can be in the wilderness
00:06:38.554 --> 00:06:40.456
You can be in the wilderness and be in god's will. you can
00:06:40.523 --> 00:06:42.725
And be in god's will. you can be in the desert by design.
00:06:42.792 --> 00:06:45.561
Be in the desert by design. the enemy didn't lead him
00:06:45.628 --> 00:06:46.796
The enemy didn't lead him there, the spirit led him
00:06:46.863 --> 00:06:48.531
There, the spirit led him there. on one side of the
00:06:48.598 --> 00:06:49.165
There. on one side of the jordan, it was lush, green,
00:06:49.232 --> 00:06:49.832
Jordan, it was lush, green, fertile. on the other side,
00:06:49.899 --> 00:06:50.533
Fertile. on the other side, it was barren, dry, nothing
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:51.200
It was barren, dry, nothing growing. sometimes we find
00:06:51.267 --> 00:06:51.834
Growing. sometimes we find ourselves in the wilderness.
00:06:51.901 --> 00:06:52.835
Ourselves in the wilderness. we know we have god's favor,
00:06:52.902 --> 00:06:54.737
We know we have god's favor, we know he's put big things
00:06:54.804 --> 00:06:56.005
We know he's put big things in our heart but we're in a
00:06:56.072 --> 00:06:57.607
In our heart but we're in a dry season. we're not seeing
00:06:57.673 --> 00:06:59.642
Dry season. we're not seeing any growth, doors aren't
00:06:59.709 --> 00:07:01.677
Any growth, doors aren't opening, the opposition is
00:07:01.744 --> 00:07:03.212
Opening, the opposition is stronger than ever. you could
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.114
Stronger than ever. you could get discouraged and complain.
00:07:05.181 --> 00:07:07.517
Get discouraged and complain. this is when you have to dig
00:07:07.583 --> 00:07:08.818
This is when you have to dig down deep and say, “god, i
00:07:08.885 --> 00:07:10.520
Down deep and say, “god, i trust you. i know i'm not in
00:07:10.586 --> 00:07:12.855
Trust you. i know i'm not in this desert by accident.
00:07:12.922 --> 00:07:14.490
This desert by accident. you've led me here. you won't
00:07:14.557 --> 00:07:16.526
You've led me here. you won't take me someplace where you
00:07:16.592 --> 00:07:18.294
Take me someplace where you won't sustain me. so, lord, i
00:07:18.361 --> 00:07:20.363
Won't sustain me. so, lord, i thank you for the strength,
00:07:20.429 --> 00:07:21.697
Thank you for the strength, the peace, the favor, the
00:07:21.764 --> 00:07:23.566
The peace, the favor, the courage to stand strong and
00:07:23.633 --> 00:07:26.202
Courage to stand strong and outlast this test.” if you'll
00:07:26.269 --> 00:07:28.437
Outlast this test.” if you'll have the right attitude,
00:07:28.504 --> 00:07:30.006
Have the right attitude, you'll come out of the dry
00:07:30.072 --> 00:07:31.207
You'll come out of the dry place into an abundant place.
00:07:31.274 --> 00:07:34.477
Place into an abundant place. after forty days of fasting
00:07:34.544 --> 00:07:36.646
After forty days of fasting in the desert, the enemy came
00:07:36.712 --> 00:07:38.814
In the desert, the enemy came to jesus to tempt him. it was
00:07:38.881 --> 00:07:41.217
To jesus to tempt him. it was when he was the weakest, when
00:07:41.284 --> 00:07:42.919
When he was the weakest, when he was tired and hungry. he
00:07:42.985 --> 00:07:45.521
He was tired and hungry. he tempted jesus three times. he
00:07:45.588 --> 00:07:47.690
Tempted jesus three times. he said, “turn these stones into
00:07:47.757 --> 00:07:49.358
Said, “turn these stones into bread. you're hungry, make
00:07:49.425 --> 00:07:51.294
Bread. you're hungry, make something to eat.” jesus
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.029
Something to eat.” jesus wouldn't do it. he said, “bow
00:07:53.095 --> 00:07:54.931
Wouldn't do it. he said, “bow down before me and i'll give
00:07:54.997 --> 00:07:56.365
Down before me and i'll give you all these kingdoms.”
00:07:56.432 --> 00:07:57.433
You all these kingdoms.” jesus refused. the final
00:07:57.500 --> 00:08:00.002
Jesus refused. the final temptation. he took jesus to
00:08:00.069 --> 00:08:01.938
Temptation. he took jesus to a high place, overlooking the
00:08:02.004 --> 00:08:03.739
A high place, overlooking the temple. he said, “if you're
00:08:03.806 --> 00:08:05.408
Temple. he said, “if you're the son of god, jump off this
00:08:05.474 --> 00:08:07.076
The son of god, jump off this ledge. you said your angels
00:08:07.143 --> 00:08:09.312
Ledge. you said your angels will protect you.” once
00:08:09.378 --> 00:08:11.080
Will protect you.” once again, jesus wouldn't do it.
00:08:11.147 --> 00:08:13.482
Again, jesus wouldn't do it. after he passed these tests,
00:08:13.549 --> 00:08:15.284
After he passed these tests, the scripture says, “angels
00:08:15.351 --> 00:08:17.453
The scripture says, “angels came and strengthened him.”
00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:20.289
Came and strengthened him.” you can imagine after not
00:08:20.356 --> 00:08:21.924
You can imagine after not eating for forty days, having
00:08:21.991 --> 00:08:23.960
Eating for forty days, having to deal with the temptation,
00:08:24.026 --> 00:08:25.828
To deal with the temptation, being hot and dry, how
00:08:25.895 --> 00:08:27.964
Being hot and dry, how overwhelmed he must have
00:08:28.030 --> 00:08:29.365
Overwhelmed he must have been. how he didn't think he
00:08:29.432 --> 00:08:31.000
Been. how he didn't think he could keep going. but god
00:08:31.067 --> 00:08:33.202
Could keep going. but god knows when the pressure is
00:08:33.269 --> 00:08:34.737
Knows when the pressure is too much. he knows when you
00:08:34.804 --> 00:08:36.672
Too much. he knows when you can't take it anymore.
00:08:36.739 --> 00:08:38.507
Can't take it anymore. here jesus is the son of god.
00:08:38.574 --> 00:08:40.710
Here jesus is the son of god. he's all powerful, but in his
00:08:40.776 --> 00:08:42.979
He's all powerful, but in his human body, he had
00:08:43.045 --> 00:08:44.246
Human body, he had limitations. he faced times
00:08:44.313 --> 00:08:46.716
Limitations. he faced times where he felt like he was at
00:08:46.782 --> 00:08:48.217
Where he felt like he was at a breaking point. notice what
00:08:48.284 --> 00:08:50.319
A breaking point. notice what god did. he sent angels to
00:08:50.386 --> 00:08:52.722
God did. he sent angels to strengthen him, angels to
00:08:52.788 --> 00:08:54.857
Strengthen him, angels to refresh him and give him what
00:08:54.924 --> 00:08:56.726
Refresh him and give him what he needed for his destiny.
00:08:56.792 --> 00:08:59.395
He needed for his destiny. the scripture says, “jesus
00:08:59.462 --> 00:09:01.297
The scripture says, “jesus came out of the desert in the
00:09:01.364 --> 00:09:03.366
Came out of the desert in the power of the spirit.” how
00:09:03.432 --> 00:09:05.968
Power of the spirit.” how could he come out more
00:09:06.035 --> 00:09:06.869
Could he come out more powerful when he's been in a
00:09:06.936 --> 00:09:08.804
Powerful when he's been in a dry place, no food, being
00:09:08.871 --> 00:09:11.641
Dry place, no food, being tested, facing opposition?
00:09:11.707 --> 00:09:14.176
Tested, facing opposition? angels showed up. they
00:09:14.243 --> 00:09:16.112
Angels showed up. they brought supernatural
00:09:16.178 --> 00:09:17.246
Brought supernatural strength, energy, favor,
00:09:17.313 --> 00:09:19.715
Strength, energy, favor, courage. you may be in a dry
00:09:19.782 --> 00:09:23.019
Courage. you may be in a dry place. you don't see how you
00:09:23.085 --> 00:09:24.854
Place. you don't see how you can keep going. you're
00:09:24.920 --> 00:09:26.322
Can keep going. you're fighting the good fight but
00:09:26.389 --> 00:09:28.357
Fighting the good fight but you're suffering from battle
00:09:28.424 --> 00:09:29.392
You're suffering from battle fatigue. it's been so long.
00:09:29.458 --> 00:09:31.761
Fatigue. it's been so long. it feels like it's too much.
00:09:31.827 --> 00:09:33.963
It feels like it's too much. god sees what's happening.
00:09:34.030 --> 00:09:36.232
God sees what's happening. you didn't go into that dry
00:09:36.298 --> 00:09:37.600
You didn't go into that dry place by accident. that
00:09:37.667 --> 00:09:39.769
Place by accident. that wilderness was not easy, but
00:09:39.835 --> 00:09:41.804
Wilderness was not easy, but you've passed the test.
00:09:41.871 --> 00:09:43.639
You've passed the test. you've stayed faithful. you
00:09:43.706 --> 00:09:45.408
You've stayed faithful. you didn't give up. you didn't
00:09:45.474 --> 00:09:46.842
Didn't give up. you didn't quit believing. like with
00:09:46.909 --> 00:09:48.644
Quit believing. like with jesus, god's about to send
00:09:48.711 --> 00:09:50.880
Jesus, god's about to send angels to strengthen you, to
00:09:50.946 --> 00:09:53.149
Angels to strengthen you, to breathe new life, fresh
00:09:53.215 --> 00:09:54.950
Breathe new life, fresh vision, encouragement. you're
00:09:55.017 --> 00:09:57.586
Vision, encouragement. you're not just going to come out of
00:09:57.653 --> 00:09:58.754
Not just going to come out of the desert, barely making it,
00:09:58.821 --> 00:10:00.990
The desert, barely making it, beat up, bedraggled. you're
00:10:01.057 --> 00:10:02.725
Beat up, bedraggled. you're going to come out in the
00:10:02.792 --> 00:10:03.759
Going to come out in the power of the spirit, with
00:10:03.826 --> 00:10:05.795
Power of the spirit, with fresh vision, fresh favor,
00:10:05.861 --> 00:10:07.830
Fresh vision, fresh favor, renewed strength, ready for
00:10:07.897 --> 00:10:09.932
Renewed strength, ready for the new levels god has in
00:10:09.999 --> 00:10:11.567
The new levels god has in store.
00:10:11.634 --> 00:10:13.135
Store. when my father went to be
00:10:13.202 --> 00:10:14.170
When my father went to be with the lord, that was the
00:10:14.236 --> 00:10:15.604
With the lord, that was the most difficult thing i had
00:10:15.671 --> 00:10:17.373
Most difficult thing i had ever faced. i thought he
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.241
Ever faced. i thought he would live another twenty
00:10:19.308 --> 00:10:20.276
Would live another twenty years. i worked with him
00:10:20.342 --> 00:10:22.244
Years. i worked with him behind the scenes for
00:10:22.311 --> 00:10:23.913
Behind the scenes for seventeen years. i loved
00:10:23.979 --> 00:10:25.948
Seventeen years. i loved doing the production, putting
00:10:26.015 --> 00:10:27.850
Doing the production, putting his messages on television.
00:10:27.917 --> 00:10:29.885
His messages on television. we traveled the world
00:10:29.952 --> 00:10:30.920
We traveled the world together. he would come over
00:10:30.986 --> 00:10:32.521
Together. he would come over to our house at night, we'd
00:10:32.588 --> 00:10:33.756
To our house at night, we'd have dinner. we'd go watch
00:10:33.823 --> 00:10:35.124
Have dinner. we'd go watch the astros play baseball.
00:10:35.191 --> 00:10:36.592
The astros play baseball. life was good. but in 1999 he
00:10:36.659 --> 00:10:40.563
Life was good. but in 1999 he had a heart attack and
00:10:40.629 --> 00:10:41.697
Had a heart attack and passed. my life was suddenly
00:10:41.764 --> 00:10:44.033
Passed. my life was suddenly turned upside down. we didn't
00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:46.268
Turned upside down. we didn't know what was going to happen
00:10:46.335 --> 00:10:47.269
Know what was going to happen to the church. how was it all
00:10:47.336 --> 00:10:49.171
To the church. how was it all going to work out. i couldn't
00:10:49.238 --> 00:10:51.407
Going to work out. i couldn't see it at the time, but like
00:10:51.474 --> 00:10:53.409
See it at the time, but like with jesus, the spirit led me
00:10:53.476 --> 00:10:56.178
With jesus, the spirit led me into the wilderness.
00:10:56.245 --> 00:10:58.013
Into the wilderness. sometimes what we think is
00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.715
Sometimes what we think is the enemy is really the hand
00:10:59.782 --> 00:11:01.717
The enemy is really the hand of god moving us into our
00:11:01.784 --> 00:11:03.719
Of god moving us into our destiny. the closed doors,
00:11:03.786 --> 00:11:06.288
Destiny. the closed doors, the bad breaks, the loss,
00:11:06.355 --> 00:11:08.390
The bad breaks, the loss, nothing happens without god's
00:11:08.457 --> 00:11:10.326
Nothing happens without god's permission. you shouldn't
00:11:10.392 --> 00:11:12.361
Permission. you shouldn't fight everything you don't
00:11:12.428 --> 00:11:13.696
Fight everything you don't like. there are deserts you
00:11:13.763 --> 00:11:15.965
Like. there are deserts you have to go through to get to
00:11:16.031 --> 00:11:17.800
Have to go through to get to your destiny. in those dry
00:11:17.867 --> 00:11:20.002
Your destiny. in those dry places, in those wilderness
00:11:20.069 --> 00:11:21.937
Places, in those wilderness seasons, you have to know god
00:11:22.004 --> 00:11:24.273
Seasons, you have to know god is right there with you. he's
00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:26.308
Is right there with you. he's not going to let you go
00:11:26.375 --> 00:11:27.443
Not going to let you go through anything you can't
00:11:27.510 --> 00:11:28.778
Through anything you can't handle. the moment it becomes
00:11:28.844 --> 00:11:30.913
Handle. the moment it becomes too much, god will send the
00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:32.848
Too much, god will send the angels.
00:11:32.915 --> 00:11:34.483
Angels. i knew down deep i was
00:11:34.550 --> 00:11:36.051
I knew down deep i was supposed to step up and
00:11:36.118 --> 00:11:37.219
Supposed to step up and pastor the church. i had
00:11:37.286 --> 00:11:38.921
Pastor the church. i had never ministered. i was
00:11:38.988 --> 00:11:40.756
Never ministered. i was dealing with the loss of my
00:11:40.823 --> 00:11:41.924
Dealing with the loss of my father, all these changes. i
00:11:41.991 --> 00:11:44.760
Father, all these changes. i thought i would be so upset,
00:11:44.827 --> 00:11:46.428
Thought i would be so upset, so distraught, but i felt a
00:11:46.495 --> 00:11:48.597
So distraught, but i felt a peace that i can't explain.
00:11:48.664 --> 00:11:51.000
Peace that i can't explain. yes, i missed my father but i
00:11:51.066 --> 00:11:52.635
Yes, i missed my father but i didn't fall apart, sink into
00:11:52.701 --> 00:11:54.804
Didn't fall apart, sink into discouragement, “god why did
00:11:54.870 --> 00:11:56.438
Discouragement, “god why did this happen?” i felt a
00:11:56.505 --> 00:11:58.274
This happen?” i felt a supernatural strength. there
00:11:58.340 --> 00:12:00.476
Supernatural strength. there was a courage, a confidence,
00:12:00.543 --> 00:12:03.112
Was a courage, a confidence, a knowing that i was well
00:12:03.179 --> 00:12:04.914
A knowing that i was well able, that everything was
00:12:04.980 --> 00:12:06.515
Able, that everything was going to work out, that god
00:12:06.582 --> 00:12:08.083
Going to work out, that god was still in control. i look
00:12:08.150 --> 00:12:10.519
Was still in control. i look back now and realize that
00:12:10.586 --> 00:12:12.721
Back now and realize that wasn't normal. that was god
00:12:12.788 --> 00:12:14.857
Wasn't normal. that was god sending angels, strengthening
00:12:14.924 --> 00:12:17.126
Sending angels, strengthening me, giving me the grace to go
00:12:17.193 --> 00:12:19.195
Me, giving me the grace to go through the desert, to not
00:12:19.261 --> 00:12:21.096
Through the desert, to not give into the temptation to
00:12:21.163 --> 00:12:22.565
Give into the temptation to get bitter, and live sour. it
00:12:22.631 --> 00:12:25.334
Get bitter, and live sour. it was difficult. none of us
00:12:25.401 --> 00:12:27.369
Was difficult. none of us like to go through the
00:12:27.436 --> 00:12:28.404
Like to go through the wilderness, but something
00:12:28.470 --> 00:12:30.039
Wilderness, but something happens in the desert. god is
00:12:30.105 --> 00:12:32.608
Happens in the desert. god is getting you prepared to come
00:12:32.675 --> 00:12:34.443
Getting you prepared to come out in the power of the
00:12:34.510 --> 00:12:35.711
Out in the power of the spirit. some things can only
00:12:35.778 --> 00:12:38.147
Spirit. some things can only take place in the dry season,
00:12:38.214 --> 00:12:40.683
Take place in the dry season, the loss, the disappointment,
00:12:40.749 --> 00:12:42.952
The loss, the disappointment, the bad break. you may find
00:12:43.018 --> 00:12:45.387
The bad break. you may find yourself there now. you're
00:12:45.454 --> 00:12:47.256
Yourself there now. you're facing pressure that you've
00:12:47.323 --> 00:12:48.390
Facing pressure that you've never faced. it feels like
00:12:48.457 --> 00:12:49.992
Never faced. it feels like you're at a breaking point.
00:12:50.059 --> 00:12:51.527
You're at a breaking point. can i encourage you; angels
00:12:51.594 --> 00:12:53.562
Can i encourage you; angels are coming. this is not a
00:12:53.629 --> 00:12:55.397
Are coming. this is not a surprise to god. he led you
00:12:55.464 --> 00:12:57.766
Surprise to god. he led you into the wilderness. he
00:12:57.833 --> 00:12:59.235
Into the wilderness. he doesn't leave you out there
00:12:59.301 --> 00:13:00.269
Doesn't leave you out there alone. he knows the pressure.
00:13:00.336 --> 00:13:03.205
Alone. he knows the pressure. he knows the struggle, the
00:13:03.272 --> 00:13:05.074
He knows the struggle, the loss, the pain, what didn't
00:13:05.140 --> 00:13:07.076
Loss, the pain, what didn't work out. that load is about
00:13:07.142 --> 00:13:09.645
Work out. that load is about to lighten. like god did for
00:13:09.712 --> 00:13:12.081
To lighten. like god did for me, you're going to feel a
00:13:12.147 --> 00:13:13.282
Me, you're going to feel a strength that you can't
00:13:13.349 --> 00:13:14.350
Strength that you can't explain. you're not only
00:13:14.416 --> 00:13:16.085
Explain. you're not only going to come out but you're
00:13:16.151 --> 00:13:17.286
Going to come out but you're going to come out stronger,
00:13:17.353 --> 00:13:18.988
Going to come out stronger, with greater confidence,
00:13:19.054 --> 00:13:20.322
With greater confidence, greater courage, greater
00:13:20.389 --> 00:13:21.790
Greater courage, greater faith.
00:13:21.857 --> 00:13:22.491
Faith. in the book of 1 kings, the
00:13:22.558 --> 00:13:24.727
In the book of 1 kings, the prophet elijah had this
00:13:24.793 --> 00:13:26.528
Prophet elijah had this showdown with the false
00:13:26.595 --> 00:13:28.163
Showdown with the false prophets of baal. they had a
00:13:28.230 --> 00:13:30.165
Prophets of baal. they had a contest to see whose god was
00:13:30.232 --> 00:13:32.201
Contest to see whose god was real. they worshipped an idol
00:13:32.268 --> 00:13:34.270
Real. they worshipped an idol name baal. elijah worshipped
00:13:34.336 --> 00:13:36.605
Name baal. elijah worshipped jehovah. they both built an
00:13:36.672 --> 00:13:38.507
Jehovah. they both built an altar, put wood on it.
00:13:38.574 --> 00:13:40.576
Altar, put wood on it. whatever god started the fire
00:13:40.643 --> 00:13:42.278
Whatever god started the fire would be the true god. the
00:13:42.344 --> 00:13:44.213
Would be the true god. the prophets of baal went first.
00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:46.248
Prophets of baal went first. they prayed, sang, danced for
00:13:46.315 --> 00:13:48.150
They prayed, sang, danced for hours but nothing happened.
00:13:48.217 --> 00:13:50.152
Hours but nothing happened. when it was elijah's turn, he
00:13:50.219 --> 00:13:51.921
When it was elijah's turn, he prayed and fire came down
00:13:51.987 --> 00:13:53.856
Prayed and fire came down from heaven and not only
00:13:53.923 --> 00:13:55.524
From heaven and not only burned up the wood but it
00:13:55.591 --> 00:13:56.859
Burned up the wood but it burned up the stone. he
00:13:56.926 --> 00:13:58.560
Burned up the stone. he destroyed 450 of the false
00:13:58.627 --> 00:14:01.330
Destroyed 450 of the false prophets of baal. an amazing
00:14:01.397 --> 00:14:03.232
Prophets of baal. an amazing victory. but when the king's
00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:05.601
Victory. but when the king's wife, jezebel, heard about
00:14:05.668 --> 00:14:08.237
Wife, jezebel, heard about what happened to her false
00:14:08.304 --> 00:14:09.438
What happened to her false prophets, she was furious.
00:14:09.505 --> 00:14:11.774
Prophets, she was furious. she sent word to elijah
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:13.108
She sent word to elijah saying, “if i don't kill you
00:14:13.175 --> 00:14:15.010
Saying, “if i don't kill you by this time tomorrow, i'm
00:14:15.077 --> 00:14:16.445
By this time tomorrow, i'm going to take my own life.”
00:14:16.512 --> 00:14:18.647
Going to take my own life.” elijah was so afraid; he took
00:14:18.714 --> 00:14:20.716
Elijah was so afraid; he took off running into the desert.
00:14:20.783 --> 00:14:23.285
Off running into the desert. it's interesting how we can
00:14:23.352 --> 00:14:24.920
It's interesting how we can lose perspective. he had just
00:14:24.987 --> 00:14:26.956
Lose perspective. he had just called down fire from heaven,
00:14:27.022 --> 00:14:29.191
Called down fire from heaven, saw god destroy four hundred
00:14:29.258 --> 00:14:30.960
Saw god destroy four hundred and fifty men. but when this
00:14:31.026 --> 00:14:32.995
And fifty men. but when this one woman made a
00:14:33.062 --> 00:14:34.330
One woman made a threat,--there's a whole
00:14:34.396 --> 00:14:36.565
Threat,--there's a whole message there; but i'm not
00:14:36.632 --> 00:14:37.633
Message there; but i'm not going there. when this one
00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:39.868
Going there. when this one lady made a threat, he was
00:14:39.935 --> 00:14:41.770
Lady made a threat, he was filled with fear. are you
00:14:41.837 --> 00:14:44.139
Filled with fear. are you running from things because
00:14:44.206 --> 00:14:46.008
Running from things because you've lost perspective?
00:14:46.075 --> 00:14:47.843
You've lost perspective? you're listening to threats,
00:14:47.910 --> 00:14:49.611
You're listening to threats, believing what the enemy
00:14:49.678 --> 00:14:50.713
Believing what the enemy whispers in your mind, when
00:14:50.779 --> 00:14:52.748
Whispers in your mind, when you've seen god deliver you
00:14:52.815 --> 00:14:54.283
You've seen god deliver you in the past. you know he's
00:14:54.350 --> 00:14:56.251
In the past. you know he's more powerful than what
00:14:56.318 --> 00:14:57.419
More powerful than what you're up against. elijah
00:14:57.486 --> 00:14:59.555
You're up against. elijah should have answered back,
00:14:59.621 --> 00:15:00.522
Should have answered back, “jezebel, i'm not afraid of
00:15:00.589 --> 00:15:01.957
“jezebel, i'm not afraid of you. you cand save your
00:15:02.024 --> 00:15:03.759
You. you cand save your threats. god delivered me
00:15:03.826 --> 00:15:05.527
Threats. god delivered me from all your false prophets,
00:15:05.594 --> 00:15:07.296
From all your false prophets, i am confident, he'll deliver
00:15:07.363 --> 00:15:09.164
I am confident, he'll deliver me from you too.”
00:15:09.231 --> 00:15:11.433
Me from you too.” somehow, he lost perspective.
00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:13.135
Somehow, he lost perspective. he sat down under a tree in
00:15:13.202 --> 00:15:16.005
He sat down under a tree in the desert, so exhausted, so
00:15:16.071 --> 00:15:18.841
The desert, so exhausted, so overwhelmed; he didn't want
00:15:18.907 --> 00:15:20.275
Overwhelmed; he didn't want to live anymore. he prayed to
00:15:20.342 --> 00:15:22.077
To live anymore. he prayed to die. he said, “god, i'm done.
00:15:22.144 --> 00:15:25.414
Die. he said, “god, i'm done. this pressure is too much.
00:15:25.481 --> 00:15:26.548
This pressure is too much. just take me home.” he was at
00:15:26.615 --> 00:15:28.717
Just take me home.” he was at this breaking point. ready to
00:15:28.784 --> 00:15:30.519
This breaking point. ready to give up. what's interesting
00:15:30.586 --> 00:15:32.888
Give up. what's interesting is god didn't say, “elijah,
00:15:32.955 --> 00:15:34.757
Is god didn't say, “elijah, what's wrong with you, man?
00:15:34.823 --> 00:15:36.392
What's wrong with you, man? you should be stronger. you
00:15:36.458 --> 00:15:37.960
You should be stronger. you should have more faith. you
00:15:38.027 --> 00:15:39.361
Should have more faith. you shouldn't let this pressure
00:15:39.428 --> 00:15:40.362
Shouldn't let this pressure get to you.” god doesn't
00:15:40.429 --> 00:15:42.364
Get to you.” god doesn't fault us for not being strong
00:15:42.431 --> 00:15:44.166
Fault us for not being strong enough. he knows there are
00:15:44.233 --> 00:15:45.968
Enough. he knows there are times that we feel
00:15:46.035 --> 00:15:47.002
Times that we feel overwhelmed. the scripture
00:15:47.069 --> 00:15:48.637
Overwhelmed. the scripture says, “he gives strength to
00:15:48.704 --> 00:15:50.439
Says, “he gives strength to the weary.” he doesn't
00:15:50.506 --> 00:15:52.041
The weary.” he doesn't condemn the weary.
00:15:52.107 --> 00:15:53.876
Condemn the weary. this could have been the last
00:15:53.942 --> 00:15:55.511
This could have been the last we ever read about elijah.
00:15:55.577 --> 00:15:57.212
We ever read about elijah. he's tired, he's weary, he's
00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.515
He's tired, he's weary, he's ready to give up. what did
00:15:59.581 --> 00:16:01.350
Ready to give up. what did god do? verse 5 says an angel
00:16:01.417 --> 00:16:04.286
God do? verse 5 says an angel showed up. while elijah was
00:16:04.353 --> 00:16:06.722
Showed up. while elijah was in the desert sleeping, this
00:16:06.789 --> 00:16:08.557
In the desert sleeping, this angel cooked him food. made
00:16:08.624 --> 00:16:10.759
Angel cooked him food. made some bread and got him water.
00:16:10.826 --> 00:16:13.195
Some bread and got him water. he woke elijah up and told
00:16:13.262 --> 00:16:14.963
He woke elijah up and told him to eat. elijah saw the
00:16:15.030 --> 00:16:17.166
Him to eat. elijah saw the freshly baked bread and he
00:16:17.232 --> 00:16:18.667
Freshly baked bread and he thought he was dreaming. he
00:16:18.734 --> 00:16:20.469
Thought he was dreaming. he ate and went back to sleep.
00:16:20.536 --> 00:16:22.404
Ate and went back to sleep. the angel woke him up a
00:16:22.471 --> 00:16:23.572
The angel woke him up a second time and told him to
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:25.040
Second time and told him to eat some more. elijah ate the
00:16:25.107 --> 00:16:27.242
Eat some more. elijah ate the food. now he had the strength
00:16:27.309 --> 00:16:29.878
Food. now he had the strength to make a forty-day journey.
00:16:29.945 --> 00:16:32.414
To make a forty-day journey. his whole attitude and
00:16:32.481 --> 00:16:33.949
His whole attitude and perspective changed. he got
00:16:34.016 --> 00:16:35.651
Perspective changed. he got his fire back. he realized
00:16:35.717 --> 00:16:37.786
His fire back. he realized god was still on the throne
00:16:37.853 --> 00:16:39.254
God was still on the throne and that he was bigger than
00:16:39.321 --> 00:16:40.989
And that he was bigger than anything he was facing. he
00:16:41.056 --> 00:16:43.125
Anything he was facing. he came out of the desert with a
00:16:43.192 --> 00:16:44.960
Came out of the desert with a new passion, more energy,
00:16:45.027 --> 00:16:47.563
New passion, more energy, ready for the next season of
00:16:47.629 --> 00:16:48.964
Ready for the next season of his life.
00:16:49.031 --> 00:16:50.399
His life. notice how good god is. he
00:16:50.466 --> 00:16:52.601
Notice how good god is. he could have had the angel lead
00:16:52.668 --> 00:16:54.837
Could have had the angel lead elijah to some food, show him
00:16:54.903 --> 00:16:57.406
Elijah to some food, show him where to hunt, help him find
00:16:57.473 --> 00:16:59.274
Where to hunt, help him find an animal, where he could
00:16:59.341 --> 00:17:00.642
An animal, where he could cook the food. but the angel
00:17:00.709 --> 00:17:02.778
Cook the food. but the angel not only brought the food to
00:17:02.845 --> 00:17:04.279
Not only brought the food to elijah but he cooked it for
00:17:04.346 --> 00:17:06.448
Elijah but he cooked it for him. god has these times
00:17:06.515 --> 00:17:09.651
Him. god has these times where he's going to cook the
00:17:09.718 --> 00:17:10.619
Where he's going to cook the food for you. you're tired.
00:17:10.686 --> 00:17:13.489
Food for you. you're tired. you've lost perspective.
00:17:13.555 --> 00:17:15.090
You've lost perspective. weariness has set in. god has
00:17:15.157 --> 00:17:17.392
Weariness has set in. god has angels preparing your meal.
00:17:17.459 --> 00:17:19.962
Angels preparing your meal. you're not going to have to
00:17:20.028 --> 00:17:20.762
You're not going to have to go after it, it's going to

Miss your destiny. jesus had just finished the
00:17:31.773 --> 00:17:33.008
Jesus had just finished the last supper with his
00:17:33.075 --> 00:17:34.176
Last supper with his disciples. he told them how
00:17:34.243 --> 00:17:36.411
Disciples. he told them how he was going to be crucified,
00:17:36.478 --> 00:17:38.480
He was going to be crucified, how he was entering the

How he was entering the darkest part of his life.
00:17:39.548 --> 00:17:41.884
Darkest part of his life. after dinner that evening, he
00:17:41.950 --> 00:17:43.619
After dinner that evening, he went to the garden of

Went to the garden of gethsemane to pray. he took

Gethsemane to pray. he took his closest disciples and
00:17:46.755 --> 00:17:48.724
His closest disciples and asked them to pray for him.
00:17:48.790 --> 00:17:50.926
Asked them to pray for him. he said, “my soul is
00:17:50.993 --> 00:17:52.361
He said, “my soul is overwhelmed with sorrow, even
00:17:52.427 --> 00:17:54.363
Overwhelmed with sorrow, even to the point of death.” you
00:17:54.429 --> 00:17:56.331
To the point of death.” you can imagine the weight of
00:17:56.398 --> 00:17:57.733
Can imagine the weight of what he was carrying, the
00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:59.368
What he was carrying, the pressure he was under. he was
00:17:59.434 --> 00:18:01.436
Pressure he was under. he was saying, “i'm at my breaking
00:18:01.503 --> 00:18:03.205
Saying, “i'm at my breaking point. i have to have some
00:18:03.272 --> 00:18:04.873
Point. i have to have some help.” the people he was
00:18:04.940 --> 00:18:06.842
Help.” the people he was counting on, unfortunately
00:18:06.909 --> 00:18:09.044
Counting on, unfortunately fell asleep. they were too
00:18:09.111 --> 00:18:10.846
Fell asleep. they were too tired. he woke them up and
00:18:10.913 --> 00:18:13.348
Tired. he woke them up and said, “please stay up and
00:18:13.415 --> 00:18:14.449
Said, “please stay up and pray. this is a critical time
00:18:14.516 --> 00:18:16.151
Pray. this is a critical time for me.” they said, “of
00:18:16.218 --> 00:18:17.252
For me.” they said, “of course we will.” they had
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.354
Course we will.” they had good intentions, but they
00:18:19.421 --> 00:18:20.923
Good intentions, but they fell back asleep. sometimes
00:18:20.989 --> 00:18:23.592
Fell back asleep. sometimes the people you're counting on
00:18:23.659 --> 00:18:25.127
The people you're counting on will let you down. they love
00:18:25.194 --> 00:18:27.196
Will let you down. they love you. they want to help but
00:18:27.262 --> 00:18:29.364
You. they want to help but they're not there when you
00:18:29.431 --> 00:18:30.332
They're not there when you need them. you can't rely on
00:18:30.399 --> 00:18:32.401
Need them. you can't rely on people. you have to turn to
00:18:32.467 --> 00:18:33.969
People. you have to turn to god.
00:18:34.036 --> 00:18:35.070
God. jesus was so overcome with
00:18:35.137 --> 00:18:36.772
Jesus was so overcome with emotion, he sweat great drops
00:18:36.838 --> 00:18:38.774
Emotion, he sweat great drops of blood. he said, “father,
00:18:38.840 --> 00:18:40.442
Of blood. he said, “father, if you can, please take this
00:18:40.509 --> 00:18:42.511
If you can, please take this cup away from me.” it didn't
00:18:42.578 --> 00:18:44.746
Cup away from me.” it didn't look like he could go on. how
00:18:44.813 --> 00:18:46.815
Look like he could go on. how could he handle all that
00:18:46.882 --> 00:18:48.016
Could he handle all that pressure? the scripture says,
00:18:48.083 --> 00:18:50.419
Pressure? the scripture says, “an angel appeared and began
00:18:50.485 --> 00:18:52.721
“an angel appeared and began to strengthen him.” friends
00:18:52.788 --> 00:18:54.923
To strengthen him.” friends may let you down, but god
00:18:54.990 --> 00:18:56.725
May let you down, but god will always be there for you.
00:18:56.792 --> 00:18:58.794
Will always be there for you. when it feels overwhelming,
00:18:58.860 --> 00:19:00.729
When it feels overwhelming, you don't know how you can
00:19:00.796 --> 00:19:01.597
You don't know how you can raise that child, how you can
00:19:01.663 --> 00:19:03.565
Raise that child, how you can deal with that sickness, how
00:19:03.632 --> 00:19:05.167
Deal with that sickness, how you can keep your business

Times where you feel troubled. you don't see how

To relieve the pressure. you're going to feel a
00:19:25.520 --> 00:19:26.188
You're going to feel a supernatural strength,
00:19:26.255 --> 00:19:27.956

Adversity, step into the destiny that belongs to you.
00:19:34.062 --> 00:19:36.098
Destiny that belongs to you. it may feel like too much
00:19:36.164 --> 00:19:38.367
It may feel like too much right now, but when that
00:19:38.433 --> 00:19:39.835
Right now, but when that angel shows up, you're going
00:19:39.901 --> 00:19:41.603

The spirit. jesus went over and saw his
00:19:44.740 --> 00:19:46.475
Jesus went over and saw his disciples still not awake.
00:19:46.541 --> 00:19:48.577
Disciples still not awake. this time instead of trying
00:19:48.644 --> 00:19:50.379
This time instead of trying to wake them up, he told them
00:19:50.445 --> 00:19:52.281
To wake them up, he told them sleep on. he was saying,
00:19:52.347 --> 00:19:55.083
Sleep on. he was saying, “something happened over
00:19:55.150 --> 00:19:56.285
“something happened over there in the garden. no
00:19:56.351 --> 00:19:57.953
There in the garden. no disrespect but i don't need

Showed up and empowered me for my destiny. he
00:20:05.260 --> 00:20:06.762
For my destiny. he strengthened me where i was
00:20:06.828 --> 00:20:08.030
Strengthened me where i was weak. he lifted me where i
00:20:08.096 --> 00:20:09.831
Weak. he lifted me where i was down. he filled me with

Was down. he filled me with hope where i had despair. i
00:20:11.700 --> 00:20:14.036
Hope where i had despair. i was in great sorrow but now
00:20:14.102 --> 00:20:16.004
Was in great sorrow but now i'm in great peace. i was
00:20:16.071 --> 00:20:17.839
I'm in great peace. i was deeply troubled, but now i'm

Deeply troubled, but now i'm deeply confident. i will

Deeply confident. i will fulfill my destiny.” that's
00:20:21.376 --> 00:20:24.046

Empowered for your purpose. what's significant is jesus
00:21:38.754 --> 00:21:40.655
What's significant is jesus was so troubled in his
00:21:40.722 --> 00:21:41.857
Was so troubled in his spirit, sweating those great
00:21:41.923 --> 00:21:43.692
Spirit, sweating those great drops of blood, but after the
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:45.694
Drops of blood, but after the angel showed up and
00:21:45.761 --> 00:21:46.962
Angel showed up and strengthened him, he never
00:21:47.028 --> 00:21:48.697
Strengthened him, he never talked anymore about being
00:21:48.764 --> 00:21:50.632
Talked anymore about being troubled or overwhelmed. when
00:21:50.699 --> 00:21:53.268
Troubled or overwhelmed. when the guards came to arrest
00:21:53.335 --> 00:21:55.003
The guards came to arrest him, peter cut off one of the
00:21:55.070 --> 00:21:56.805
Him, peter cut off one of the soldier's ears. jesus
00:21:56.872 --> 00:21:58.774
Soldier's ears. jesus thought, “you're finally
00:21:58.840 --> 00:21:59.508
Thought, “you're finally awake, i don't need you now.
00:21:59.574 --> 00:22:01.676
Awake, i don't need you now. i have the grace to carry out
00:22:01.743 --> 00:22:03.478
I have the grace to carry out my assignment. i have the
00:22:03.545 --> 00:22:05.280
My assignment. i have the favor to finish my mission.”
00:22:05.347 --> 00:22:07.549
Favor to finish my mission.” when he was brought before
00:22:07.616 --> 00:22:08.650
When he was brought before pilate, falsely accused,
00:22:08.717 --> 00:22:11.253
Pilate, falsely accused, jesus didn't fall apart. when
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:13.121
Jesus didn't fall apart. when the soldiers were mocking
00:22:13.188 --> 00:22:14.322
The soldiers were mocking him, put that crown of thorns
00:22:14.389 --> 00:22:16.057
Him, put that crown of thorns on his head, that should have
00:22:16.124 --> 00:22:17.692
On his head, that should have been too much. surely, he
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:19.594
Been too much. surely, he would say, “god take this
00:22:19.661 --> 00:22:20.695
Would say, “god take this away, i've changed my mind.”
00:22:20.762 --> 00:22:23.131
Away, i've changed my mind.” but he had supernatural
00:22:23.198 --> 00:22:24.566
But he had supernatural strength. those angels put in
00:22:24.633 --> 00:22:27.002
Strength. those angels put in him everything he needed to
00:22:27.068 --> 00:22:29.137
Him everything he needed to finish his purpose.
00:22:29.204 --> 00:22:31.206
Finish his purpose. none of us will ever face
00:22:31.273 --> 00:22:33.275
None of us will ever face what he did, but what i want
00:22:33.341 --> 00:22:35.043
What he did, but what i want us to see is god will never
00:22:35.110 --> 00:22:37.078
Us to see is god will never let the pressure keep you
00:22:37.145 --> 00:22:38.814
Let the pressure keep you from your destiny. he'll
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:40.615
From your destiny. he'll never let you feel so
00:22:40.682 --> 00:22:41.883
Never let you feel so overwhelmed that you can't
00:22:41.950 --> 00:22:43.485
Overwhelmed that you can't fulfill your purpose. that's
00:22:43.552 --> 00:22:45.387

Life, all the forces of darkness cannot stop. you may
00:22:51.126 --> 00:22:53.895
Darkness cannot stop. you may be in a difficult season,
00:22:53.962 --> 00:22:55.997
Be in a difficult season, like jesus a dark hour, you
00:22:56.064 --> 00:22:58.467
Like jesus a dark hour, you don't see how you can face
