Today about "the god who overrules".
00:01:29.846 --> 00:01:31.114
Who overrules". in the legal system, a
00:01:31.181 --> 00:01:32.682
In the legal system, a court will rule on a case
00:01:32.749 --> 00:01:34.717
Court will rule on a case and give its verdict.
00:01:34.784 --> 00:01:36.319
And give its verdict. but just because you have
00:01:36.386 --> 00:01:37.453
But just because you have the verdict doesn't mean
00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:39.222
The verdict doesn't mean it's final.
00:01:39.289 --> 00:01:40.623
It's final. you can appeal that
00:01:40.690 --> 00:01:42.192
You can appeal that verdict to a higher court.
00:01:42.258 --> 00:01:44.661
Verdict to a higher court. if they see it differently
00:01:44.727 --> 00:01:46.596
If they see it differently because they have more
00:01:46.663 --> 00:01:47.697
Because they have more authority, they can
00:01:47.764 --> 00:01:49.299
Authority, they can overrule what the lower
00:01:49.365 --> 00:01:51.100
Overrule what the lower court decided.
00:01:51.167 --> 00:01:52.635
Court decided. there can be a ruling
00:01:52.702 --> 00:01:53.603
From a local court, a
00:01:53.770 --> 00:01:54.938
From a local court, a regional court, a state
00:01:55.004 --> 00:01:56.139
Regional court, a state court. they all see it
00:01:56.206 --> 00:01:57.707
Court. they all see it one way. but if the
00:01:57.774 --> 00:01:59.275
One way. but if the supreme court sees it
00:01:59.342 --> 00:02:01.177
Supreme court sees it another way, then all
00:02:01.244 --> 00:02:03.112
Another way, then all the lower courts rulings
00:02:03.179 --> 00:02:04.647
The lower courts rulings are nullified, of no
00:02:04.714 --> 00:02:06.082
Are nullified, of no effect.
00:02:06.149 --> 00:02:07.116
Effect. the supreme court is the
00:02:07.183 --> 00:02:08.484
The supreme court is the highest authority. they
00:02:08.551 --> 00:02:10.520
Highest authority. they can overrule any decision.
00:02:10.587 --> 00:02:12.889
Can overrule any decision. in the same way, we all
00:02:12.956 --> 00:02:14.624
In the same way, we all have things come against
00:02:14.691 --> 00:02:16.025
Have things come against us that look like they're
00:02:16.092 --> 00:02:18.094
Us that look like they're permanent. it looks like
00:02:18.161 --> 00:02:19.696
Permanent. it looks like it's the final decision.
00:02:19.762 --> 00:02:21.331
It's the final decision. "you'll always be
00:02:21.397 --> 00:02:22.365
"you'll always be addicted. it runs in
00:02:22.432 --> 00:02:23.499
Addicted. it runs in your family."
00:02:23.566 --> 00:02:24.767
Your family." "you'll never get well.
00:02:24.834 --> 00:02:25.768
"you'll never get well. you saw the medical
00:02:25.835 --> 00:02:26.803
You saw the medical report."
00:02:26.869 --> 00:02:27.804
Report." "you're not going to meet

The right person. you've been single so long."
00:02:29.872 --> 00:02:32.041
Been single so long." here's the key: that's
00:02:32.108 --> 00:02:33.409
Here's the key: that's the lower courts ruling.
00:02:33.476 --> 00:02:35.144
The lower courts ruling. that's not the final say.
00:02:35.211 --> 00:02:37.046
That's not the final say. there is a higher court
00:02:37.113 --> 00:02:38.982
There is a higher court that has more authority.
00:02:39.048 --> 00:02:40.950
That has more authority. our god is called the
00:02:41.017 --> 00:02:42.518
Our god is called the most high god. he's the
00:02:42.585 --> 00:02:44.887

Himself. he can overrule any decision.
00:02:49.325 --> 00:02:50.460
Any decision. when the lower court
00:02:50.526 --> 00:02:51.494
When the lower court tells you "you'll never
00:02:51.561 --> 00:02:52.528
Tells you "you'll never get well; god says,
00:02:52.595 --> 00:02:54.364
Get well; god says, "overruled. i'm restoring
00:02:54.430 --> 00:02:56.299
"overruled. i'm restoring health back unto you."
00:02:56.366 --> 00:02:57.967
Health back unto you." "you've made too many
00:02:58.034 --> 00:02:59.002
"you've made too many mistakes. you'll never
00:02:59.068 --> 00:03:00.236
Mistakes. you'll never fulfill your destiny.
00:03:00.303 --> 00:03:01.704

"you won't break that addiction. overruled.
00:03:11.547 --> 00:03:12.949
Addiction. overruled. freedom is coming.
00:03:13.016 --> 00:03:13.983
Freedom is coming. wholeness is coming."
00:03:14.050 --> 00:03:15.685
Wholeness is coming." he's the god who
00:03:15.752 --> 00:03:17.020
He's the god who overrules.
00:03:17.086 --> 00:03:18.521
Overrules. now don't let what the
00:03:18.588 --> 00:03:19.589

Discourage you to where you quit believing.

You quit believing. it's only temporary.
00:03:27.563 --> 00:03:29.532
It's only temporary. that may be the way it

Is now but your case is under appeal.

Standard for our family. it would have never
00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:18.775
It would have never happened if he had not
00:05:18.841 --> 00:05:20.143
Happened if he had not believed in the god who
00:05:20.209 --> 00:05:21.811
Believed in the god who overrules.

Place right now but where you are is not who you

How you start is not important. how you finish
00:05:35.458 --> 00:05:37.293
Important. how you finish is what matters. and the
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:38.828
Is what matters. and the same god that overruled
00:05:38.895 --> 00:05:41.063

Diagnosed with terminal cancer, given a few weeks

Would never get this facility. the city would
00:06:31.781 --> 00:06:33.049
Facility. the city would never give it to a church,

Never give it to a church, joel, you're wasting your

Joel, you're wasting your time. god said,
00:06:35.718 --> 00:06:37.119
Time. god said, "overruled." he made things

Make happen. when my father went to
00:06:42.325 --> 00:06:43.259
When my father went to be with the lord, my own
00:06:43.326 --> 00:06:44.994
Be with the lord, my own thoughts told me, "joel,
00:06:45.061 --> 00:06:46.696

Nobody's going to listen to you. you can't get up

To you. you can't get up in front of people."

In front of people." god said, "overruled."

He controls the whole universe. in my 20's,
00:07:23.099 --> 00:07:25.334
Universe. in my 20's, i was driving on the
00:07:25.401 --> 00:07:26.602
I was driving on the freeway. it's raining
00:07:26.669 --> 00:07:27.904
Freeway. it's raining really hard. i lost
00:07:27.970 --> 00:07:29.472
Really hard. i lost control of my car and
00:07:29.539 --> 00:07:31.073
Control of my car and i started spinning around
00:07:31.140 --> 00:07:32.275
I started spinning around and around. i hit the
00:07:32.341 --> 00:07:33.876
And around. i hit the inside guardrail and
00:07:33.943 --> 00:07:35.811
Inside guardrail and spun back across four
00:07:35.878 --> 00:07:37.613
Spun back across four lanes of traffic.
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:39.181
Lanes of traffic. at one point, i looked
00:07:39.248 --> 00:07:40.416
At one point, i looked up, i could see the front
00:07:40.483 --> 00:07:42.351
Up, i could see the front grill of an 18 wheeler
00:07:42.418 --> 00:07:45.054
Grill of an 18 wheeler right before me. i was
00:07:45.121 --> 00:07:46.422
Right before me. i was going the wrong direction.
00:07:46.489 --> 00:07:48.291
Going the wrong direction. i felt like i could reach
00:07:48.357 --> 00:07:49.792
I felt like i could reach out and touch his bumper.
00:07:49.859 --> 00:07:51.327
Out and touch his bumper. we were close and i
00:07:51.394 --> 00:07:53.129
We were close and i thought, "you know what,
00:07:53.195 --> 00:07:54.163
Thought, "you know what, that's it. i'm done."
00:07:54.230 --> 00:07:55.598
That's it. i'm done." somehow he missed me.
00:07:55.665 --> 00:07:57.466
Somehow he missed me. the next thing i knew, i
00:07:57.533 --> 00:07:58.834
The next thing i knew, i was over on the shoulder.
00:07:58.901 --> 00:08:00.503
Was over on the shoulder. the truck driver pulled
00:08:00.570 --> 00:08:01.604
The truck driver pulled over and said, "boy, you
00:08:01.671 --> 00:08:03.639
Over and said, "boy, you must be living right.
00:08:03.706 --> 00:08:05.341
Must be living right. i don't know how i missed
00:08:05.408 --> 00:08:06.909
I don't know how i missed you but right when i
00:08:06.976 --> 00:08:08.611
You but right when i braced to hit you, i felt
00:08:08.678 --> 00:08:10.346
Braced to hit you, i felt a big gust of wind blow
00:08:10.413 --> 00:08:12.748
A big gust of wind blow me into the other lane."
00:08:12.815 --> 00:08:14.216
Me into the other lane." that's the god who
00:08:14.283 --> 00:08:17.119
That's the god who overrules. the scripture
00:08:17.186 --> 00:08:19.088
Overrules. the scripture says, "you rescued me from

Deep waters and delivered me from powerful enemies.

Me from powerful enemies. enemies that were too

That truck. it was too powerful for me but it
00:08:32.435 --> 00:08:34.270
Powerful for me but it wasn't too powerful for
00:08:34.337 --> 00:08:35.771
Wasn't too powerful for our god. you may not be
00:08:35.838 --> 00:08:38.074
Our god. you may not be able to beat the cancer
00:08:38.140 --> 00:08:39.742
Able to beat the cancer on your own, but you're
00:08:39.809 --> 00:08:41.310
On your own, but you're not on your own. the most

The lower court may tell you, "oh no, i don't
00:08:54.624 --> 00:08:55.558
You, "oh no, i don't think so. just accept it."
00:08:55.625 --> 00:08:57.159
Think so. just accept it." the sickness, the legal
00:08:57.226 --> 00:08:58.828
The sickness, the legal problem is too big.
00:08:58.894 --> 00:09:00.830
Problem is too big. those people are too
00:09:00.896 --> 00:09:01.831
Those people are too strong, too powerful.
00:09:01.897 --> 00:09:03.699
Strong, too powerful. god is saying, "it's no

Instead of dwelling on how big your enemies are,
00:09:14.677 --> 00:09:16.445
How big your enemies are, start dwelling on how
00:09:16.512 --> 00:09:17.847
Start dwelling on how big your god is.

His truck. he had it up on jacks and while he
00:09:33.496 --> 00:09:35.197
On jacks and while he was underneath, something
00:09:35.264 --> 00:09:36.699
Was underneath, something shifted and the truck fell
00:09:36.766 --> 00:09:38.701
Shifted and the truck fell on him. he was lying there

His cell phone out and somehow pushed the button
00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:52.682
Somehow pushed the button where siri came on and
00:09:52.748 --> 00:09:54.650
Where siri came on and said, "how can i help

Break, a sickness. god has the final say. and
00:10:40.996 --> 00:10:42.898
Has the final say. and if it's not your time to
00:10:42.965 --> 00:10:44.066
If it's not your time to go, if he hasn't fulfilled
00:10:44.133 --> 00:10:46.035
Go, if he hasn't fulfilled your days, then you're not
00:10:46.102 --> 00:10:47.570
Your days, then you're not going to go. he's going to
00:10:47.636 --> 00:10:48.804
Going to go. he's going to overrule.
00:10:48.871 --> 00:10:49.839
Overrule. you remember in the
00:10:49.905 --> 00:10:50.840
You remember in the scripture when satan
00:10:50.906 --> 00:10:52.641
Scripture when satan wanted to test job, he
00:10:52.708 --> 00:10:54.877
Wanted to test job, he had to ask god for
00:10:54.944 --> 00:10:56.312
Had to ask god for permission. he couldn't
00:10:56.378 --> 00:10:58.047
Permission. he couldn't just go in there and do
00:10:58.114 --> 00:10:59.482
Just go in there and do whatever he wanted.
00:10:59.548 --> 00:11:00.916
Whatever he wanted. that's why we don't have
00:11:00.983 --> 00:11:02.384
That's why we don't have to live worried, upset,
00:11:02.451 --> 00:11:04.954
To live worried, upset, afraid. we are in a
00:11:05.020 --> 00:11:06.422
Afraid. we are in a controlled environment.
00:11:06.489 --> 00:11:08.624
Controlled environment. our father is on the
00:11:08.691 --> 00:11:10.025
Our father is on the throne, he is the judge,
00:11:10.092 --> 00:11:12.228
Throne, he is the judge, he has you in the palm of
00:11:12.294 --> 00:11:13.696
He has you in the palm of his hand, nothing can
00:11:13.763 --> 00:11:15.331
His hand, nothing can snatch you away.
00:11:15.397 --> 00:11:16.899
Snatch you away. but sometimes, we think
00:11:16.966 --> 00:11:18.801
But sometimes, we think it's god versus the
00:11:18.868 --> 00:11:20.469
It's god versus the enemy. but the enemy is
00:11:20.536 --> 00:11:22.371
Enemy. but the enemy is not an equal opposite of
00:11:22.438 --> 00:11:23.839
Not an equal opposite of god. we have hot, cold,
00:11:23.906 --> 00:11:26.275
God. we have hot, cold, light darkness, good,
00:11:26.342 --> 00:11:27.510
Light darkness, good, evil. those are equal
00:11:27.576 --> 00:11:29.145
Evil. those are equal opposites. but it's not
00:11:29.211 --> 00:11:30.913
Opposites. but it's not god and the enemy.
00:11:30.980 --> 00:11:32.615
God and the enemy. god created the enemy.
00:11:32.681 --> 00:11:35.184
God created the enemy. god is the creator.
00:11:35.251 --> 00:11:37.052
God is the creator. satan is a created being.
00:11:37.119 --> 00:11:39.688
Satan is a created being. he is a fallen angel.
00:11:39.755 --> 00:11:42.091
He is a fallen angel. he wasn't made in the
00:11:42.158 --> 00:11:43.726
He wasn't made in the image of god. you were
00:11:43.793 --> 00:11:45.561
Image of god. you were made in the image of god.
00:11:45.628 --> 00:11:47.296
Made in the image of god. but if you see the enemy
00:11:47.363 --> 00:11:50.566
But if you see the enemy as being this powerful
00:11:50.633 --> 00:11:52.635
As being this powerful force that can stop you,
00:11:52.701 --> 00:11:55.371
Force that can stop you, control you, determine
00:11:55.437 --> 00:11:56.939
Control you, determine your destiny, then you
00:11:57.006 --> 00:11:58.507
Your destiny, then you are giving him power over
00:11:58.574 --> 00:12:00.142
Are giving him power over you that he doesn't have.
00:12:00.209 --> 00:12:02.745
You that he doesn't have. when jesus came out of
00:12:02.812 --> 00:12:04.146
When jesus came out of the grave, he took away
00:12:04.213 --> 00:12:06.148
The grave, he took away the keys of earth and
00:12:06.215 --> 00:12:07.616
The keys of earth and hell. he said all power
00:12:07.683 --> 00:12:09.985
Hell. he said all power has been given unto me.
00:12:10.052 --> 00:12:11.654
Has been given unto me. now i'm giving it to you.
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:14.356
Now i'm giving it to you. you are more powerful
00:12:14.423 --> 00:12:16.325
You are more powerful than any force that's
00:12:16.392 --> 00:12:17.593
Than any force that's trying to stop you.
00:12:17.660 --> 00:12:19.228
Trying to stop you. the enemy has already
00:12:19.295 --> 00:12:20.729
The enemy has already been defeated.
00:12:20.796 --> 00:12:22.331
Been defeated. we're in a fixed fight.
00:12:22.398 --> 00:12:24.600
We're in a fixed fight. we know the final
00:12:24.667 --> 00:12:25.701
We know the final outcome.
00:12:25.768 --> 00:12:26.702
Outcome. god says he always causes
00:12:26.769 --> 00:12:28.704
God says he always causes you to triumph.
00:12:28.771 --> 00:12:29.839
You to triumph. he says he's going to
00:12:29.905 --> 00:12:30.840
He says he's going to judge in your favor.
00:12:30.906 --> 00:12:33.676
Judge in your favor. during the civil war,
00:12:33.742 --> 00:12:35.077
During the civil war, ulysses grant was a
00:12:35.144 --> 00:12:36.512
Ulysses grant was a respected general.
00:12:36.579 --> 00:12:38.447
Respected general. one day he climbed up
00:12:38.514 --> 00:12:39.615
One day he climbed up over a mountain, looked
00:12:39.682 --> 00:12:41.016
Over a mountain, looked down in the valley below
00:12:41.083 --> 00:12:42.451
Down in the valley below and much to his surprise,
00:12:42.518 --> 00:12:44.720
And much to his surprise, he saw harrison's army

He saw harrison's army quickly approaching.
00:12:46.989 --> 00:12:48.524
Quickly approaching. grant was overcome with
00:12:48.591 --> 00:12:49.792
Grant was overcome with fear seeing thousands of
00:12:49.859 --> 00:12:51.827
Fear seeing thousands of troops, horses, waiting
00:12:51.894 --> 00:12:54.029
Troops, horses, waiting to attack.
00:12:54.096 --> 00:12:55.397
To attack. as he stood there with
00:12:55.464 --> 00:12:56.465
As he stood there with his heart beating so
00:12:56.532 --> 00:12:57.533
His heart beating so fast, trying to figure
00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:59.134
Fast, trying to figure out what he was going
00:12:59.201 --> 00:13:00.102
Out what he was going to do. he noticed when
00:13:00.169 --> 00:13:02.571
To do. he noticed when harrison's army saw him,
00:13:02.638 --> 00:13:04.740
Harrison's army saw him, they turned around and
00:13:04.807 --> 00:13:06.108
They turned around and started to retreat. his

Fast. he calmed down as he watched the army ride
00:13:11.380 --> 00:13:13.015
He watched the army ride off into the distance.
00:13:13.082 --> 00:13:15.217
Off into the distance. grant said he learned
00:13:15.284 --> 00:13:16.886
Grant said he learned something that day that
00:13:16.952 --> 00:13:18.520
Something that day that he would never forget.
00:13:18.587 --> 00:13:20.356
He would never forget. that every adversary i

Me than i am of them. the scripture says,
00:13:29.465 --> 00:13:30.733
The scripture says, "greater is he that's in

Been in slavery for 430 years. and i'm sure they
00:14:34.763 --> 00:14:36.732
Years. and i'm sure they had accepted it and thought
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:38.267
Had accepted it and thought "this is our lot in life".
00:14:38.334 --> 00:14:40.302

Were stuck but god said, "overruled, this is a new

Day. no more injustice." their captors were
00:15:08.564 --> 00:15:09.531
Their captors were bigger, stronger, had
00:15:09.598 --> 00:15:11.567
Bigger, stronger, had more equipment but god
00:15:11.633 --> 00:15:13.535
More equipment but god delivered them from

Delivered them from powerful enemies.
00:15:14.670 --> 00:15:16.538
Powerful enemies. god cause the pharaoh not
00:15:16.605 --> 00:15:18.807
God cause the pharaoh not just to let them go but
00:15:18.874 --> 00:15:20.876
Just to let them go but on their way out pharaoh's

People gave them their gold, their silver, their
00:15:24.813 --> 00:15:26.915
Gold, their silver, their jewelry. they could have

Jewelry. they could have left empty-handed.
00:15:28.884 --> 00:15:30.753
Left empty-handed. that would have been a
00:15:30.819 --> 00:15:31.754
That would have been a great victory just to be
00:15:31.820 --> 00:15:32.788
Great victory just to be free. but god said, "no,
00:15:32.855 --> 00:15:34.823
Free. but god said, "no, it's payback time. i'm

You. many of the things we
00:18:08.110 --> 00:18:09.077
Many of the things we struggle with have been
00:18:09.144 --> 00:18:10.646
Struggle with have been passed down in our
00:18:10.712 --> 00:18:11.914
Passed down in our family line. it's not a
00:18:11.980 --> 00:18:13.916
Family line. it's not a coincidence that we're
00:18:13.982 --> 00:18:15.851
Coincidence that we're tempted in certain areas,
00:18:15.918 --> 00:18:17.853
Tempted in certain areas, having to deal with an
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:18.854
Having to deal with an addiction, depression;
00:18:18.921 --> 00:18:20.622
Addiction, depression; a hot temper. those are
00:18:20.689 --> 00:18:22.191
A hot temper. those are spirits that keep getting
00:18:22.257 --> 00:18:24.226
Spirits that keep getting passed down from
00:18:24.293 --> 00:18:25.460
Passed down from generation to generation.
00:18:25.527 --> 00:18:28.063
Generation to generation. just like we can pass
00:18:28.130 --> 00:18:29.331
Just like we can pass down physical traits, our
00:18:29.398 --> 00:18:31.300
Down physical traits, our looks, our size, our hair
00:18:31.366 --> 00:18:32.901
Looks, our size, our hair color, we can pass down
00:18:32.968 --> 00:18:34.369
Color, we can pass down attitudes, dysfunction,
00:18:34.436 --> 00:18:36.171
Attitudes, dysfunction, depression. the enemy
00:18:36.238 --> 00:18:38.273
Depression. the enemy didn't start with you.
00:18:38.340 --> 00:18:39.875
Didn't start with you. he started way back in
00:18:39.942 --> 00:18:41.210
He started way back in the family line.
00:18:41.276 --> 00:18:43.345
The family line. i talked to a man recently.
00:18:43.412 --> 00:18:44.947
I talked to a man recently. he had struggled with
00:18:45.013 --> 00:18:45.914
He had struggled with alcohol for over 40 years.
00:18:45.981 --> 00:18:48.317
Alcohol for over 40 years. that's all he had known.
00:18:48.383 --> 00:18:49.384
That's all he had known. his dad was an alcoholic,
00:18:49.451 --> 00:18:51.086
His dad was an alcoholic, his grandfather; it was
00:18:51.153 --> 00:18:52.354
His grandfather; it was normal to him. he had
00:18:52.421 --> 00:18:54.022
Normal to him. he had tried to stop many times
00:18:54.089 --> 00:18:55.490
Tried to stop many times with no success. but one
00:18:55.557 --> 00:18:57.626
With no success. but one day he was in his car
00:18:57.693 --> 00:18:58.961
Day he was in his car listening to a message
00:18:59.027 --> 00:19:00.095
Listening to a message and i was talking about
00:19:00.162 --> 00:19:01.663
And i was talking about being free and how that's
00:19:01.730 --> 00:19:03.131
Being free and how that's not your destiny. he said
00:19:03.198 --> 00:19:05.767
Not your destiny. he said he felt something like
00:19:05.834 --> 00:19:06.969
He felt something like warm oil being poured all
00:19:07.035 --> 00:19:09.204
Warm oil being poured all over him. from that day
00:19:09.271 --> 00:19:11.206
Over him. from that day forward he never touched
00:19:11.273 --> 00:19:12.874
Forward he never touched the alcohol. that spirit
00:19:12.941 --> 00:19:15.477
The alcohol. that spirit that had been in his family
00:19:15.544 --> 00:19:16.678
That had been in his family line for generations was
00:19:16.745 --> 00:19:18.347
Line for generations was suddenly broken.
00:19:18.413 --> 00:19:20.282
Suddenly broken. you were created to be
00:19:20.349 --> 00:19:21.917
You were created to be free, to live healthy,
00:19:21.984 --> 00:19:24.186
Free, to live healthy, whole, secure. don't get
00:19:24.253 --> 00:19:27.089
Whole, secure. don't get comfortable with
00:19:27.155 --> 00:19:28.490
Comfortable with dysfunction. don't settle
00:19:28.557 --> 00:19:29.858
Dysfunction. don't settle for things that are less
00:19:29.925 --> 00:19:31.059
For things that are less than god's best. that's
00:19:31.126 --> 00:19:32.794
Than god's best. that's not who you are. put your
00:19:32.861 --> 00:19:34.730
Not who you are. put your faith out there.
00:19:34.796 --> 00:19:36.198
Faith out there. father, thank you that
00:19:36.265 --> 00:19:38.166
Father, thank you that you're overruling every
00:19:38.233 --> 00:19:39.635
You're overruling every negative thing that's
00:19:39.701 --> 00:19:41.136
Negative thing that's holding me back. god
00:19:41.203 --> 00:19:43.105
Holding me back. god not only overrules what
00:19:43.171 --> 00:19:44.473
Not only overrules what comes against us, sometimes
00:19:44.539 --> 00:19:46.842
Comes against us, sometimes he overrules our wrong
00:19:46.908 --> 00:19:48.510
He overrules our wrong choices. without his
00:19:48.577 --> 00:19:50.445
Choices. without his mercy, we wouldn't
00:19:50.512 --> 00:19:51.913
Mercy, we wouldn't fulfill our destiny.
00:19:51.980 --> 00:19:53.915
Fulfill our destiny. god told jonah to go to
00:19:53.982 --> 00:19:55.751
God told jonah to go to the city of ninevah.
00:19:55.817 --> 00:19:57.019
The city of ninevah. he didn't want to go
00:19:57.085 --> 00:19:58.387
He didn't want to go there. he wanted to go
00:19:58.453 --> 00:19:59.621
There. he wanted to go to tarshish, the other
00:19:59.688 --> 00:20:01.023
To tarshish, the other direction. and what's
00:20:01.089 --> 00:20:02.724
Direction. and what's interesting is god didn't
00:20:02.791 --> 00:20:04.726
Interesting is god didn't stop him from going the
00:20:04.793 --> 00:20:06.094
Stop him from going the wrong way. he didn't stop
00:20:06.161 --> 00:20:08.163
Wrong way. he didn't stop him from getting on a boat
00:20:08.230 --> 00:20:09.398
Him from getting on a boat headed toward tarshish.
00:20:09.464 --> 00:20:11.066
Headed toward tarshish. god respects our free
00:20:11.133 --> 00:20:12.601
God respects our free will. he allowed all that
00:20:12.668 --> 00:20:14.670
Will. he allowed all that to happen but when the
00:20:14.736 --> 00:20:16.438
To happen but when the huge storm arose and
00:20:16.505 --> 00:20:18.740
Huge storm arose and the crew threw jonah
00:20:18.807 --> 00:20:19.875
The crew threw jonah overboard, he should have
00:20:19.941 --> 00:20:21.410
Overboard, he should have drowned. that should have
00:20:21.476 --> 00:20:22.878
Drowned. that should have been the end. that's when
00:20:22.944 --> 00:20:24.546
Been the end. that's when god stepped in and said,
00:20:24.613 --> 00:20:26.448
God stepped in and said, "overruled". he had the
00:20:26.515 --> 00:20:28.350
"overruled". he had the fish there to swallow him
00:20:28.417 --> 00:20:29.651
Fish there to swallow him and take him to dry
00:20:29.718 --> 00:20:31.586
And take him to dry ground. god didn't stop
00:20:31.653 --> 00:20:33.088
Ground. god didn't stop all of jonah's mistakes,
00:20:33.155 --> 00:20:34.856
All of jonah's mistakes, but he did stop him from
00:20:34.923 --> 00:20:36.725
But he did stop him from missing his destiny.
00:20:36.792 --> 00:20:38.727
Missing his destiny. how many of us would not
00:20:38.794 --> 00:20:40.595
How many of us would not be here if god had not
00:20:40.662 --> 00:20:42.464
Be here if god had not overruled our wrong
00:20:42.531 --> 00:20:43.999
Overruled our wrong choices. you could have
00:20:44.066 --> 00:20:45.767
Choices. you could have married the wrong person
00:20:45.834 --> 00:20:47.035
Married the wrong person but god said, "overruled."
00:20:47.102 --> 00:20:48.937
But god said, "overruled." he shut that door. that
00:20:49.004 --> 00:20:51.106
He shut that door. that addiction could have taken
00:20:51.173 --> 00:20:52.341
Addiction could have taken your life. god said,
00:20:52.407 --> 00:20:53.809
Your life. god said, "overruled. i have a
00:20:53.875 --> 00:20:55.143
"overruled. i have a destiny for you."
00:20:55.210 --> 00:20:56.945
Destiny for you." you lost your temper and
00:20:57.012 --> 00:20:58.180
You lost your temper and were about to tell your
00:20:58.246 --> 00:20:59.181
Were about to tell your boss off, god said,
00:20:59.247 --> 00:21:01.249
Boss off, god said, "overruled." he closed
00:21:01.316 --> 00:21:02.451
"overruled." he closed your mouth. for some
00:21:02.517 --> 00:21:03.452
Your mouth. for some reason you couldn't
00:21:03.518 --> 00:21:04.453
Reason you couldn't do it. you wouldn't still
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:05.854
Do it. you wouldn't still have that job if he wasn't
00:21:05.921 --> 00:21:07.322
Have that job if he wasn't the god who overrules.
00:21:07.389 --> 00:21:09.925
The god who overrules. you may be headed down
00:21:09.991 --> 00:21:11.159
You may be headed down the wrong path today,
00:21:11.226 --> 00:21:12.961
The wrong path today, making decisions you know
00:21:13.028 --> 00:21:14.396
Making decisions you know are not the best.
00:21:14.463 --> 00:21:15.597
Are not the best. don't be surprised if you
00:21:15.664 --> 00:21:17.432
Don't be surprised if you encounter the god who
00:21:17.499 --> 00:21:19.267
Encounter the god who overrules. he loves you
00:21:19.334 --> 00:21:21.503
Overrules. he loves you too much to let you miss
00:21:21.570 --> 00:21:23.271
Too much to let you miss your purpose.
00:21:23.338 --> 00:21:24.706
Your purpose. the scripture talks about
00:21:24.773 --> 00:21:25.874
The scripture talks about the mercies of god. not
00:21:25.941 --> 00:21:28.009
The mercies of god. not singular, plural, mercies.
00:21:28.076 --> 00:21:30.212
Singular, plural, mercies. again and again, god
00:21:30.278 --> 00:21:31.880
Again and again, god shows us mercy.
00:21:31.947 --> 00:21:33.648
Shows us mercy. friends you had growing
00:21:33.715 --> 00:21:34.683
Friends you had growing up you used to party
00:21:34.750 --> 00:21:36.284
Up you used to party with. some of them may
00:21:36.351 --> 00:21:37.819
With. some of them may not still be here. they
00:21:37.886 --> 00:21:39.454
Not still be here. they didn't make it. that
00:21:39.521 --> 00:21:40.689
Didn't make it. that could have been you but
00:21:40.756 --> 00:21:41.957
Could have been you but the god who overrules
00:21:42.023 --> 00:21:43.525
The god who overrules stepped in and here you
00:21:43.592 --> 00:21:44.793
Stepped in and here you are free, clean, healthy.
00:21:44.860 --> 00:21:48.630
Are free, clean, healthy. you could have had a
00:21:48.697 --> 00:21:49.998
You could have had a nervous breakdown,
00:21:50.065 --> 00:21:50.999
Nervous breakdown, buckled under all the
00:21:51.066 --> 00:21:52.000
Buckled under all the pressure but when you
00:21:52.067 --> 00:21:53.268
Pressure but when you thought you couldn't take
00:21:53.335 --> 00:21:54.336
Thought you couldn't take it anymore, the god who
00:21:54.403 --> 00:21:55.937
It anymore, the god who overrules put a stop to
00:21:56.004 --> 00:21:57.806
Overrules put a stop to it. now you're stronger
00:21:57.873 --> 00:21:59.341
It. now you're stronger than ever.
00:21:59.408 --> 00:22:00.642
Than ever. some of the people you
00:22:00.709 --> 00:22:01.643
Some of the people you grew up with, if they
00:22:01.710 --> 00:22:02.744
Grew up with, if they could see you now, in
00:22:02.811 --> 00:22:04.846
Could see you now, in church, honoring god,
00:22:04.913 --> 00:22:06.615
Church, honoring god, clean, free, blessed,
00:22:06.681 --> 00:22:08.283
Clean, free, blessed, kind, generous; they'd be
00:22:08.350 --> 00:22:09.885
Kind, generous; they'd be so shocked, you'd have to
00:22:09.951 --> 00:22:11.119
So shocked, you'd have to pick them up off the
00:22:11.186 --> 00:22:12.120
Pick them up off the floor. it's all because
00:22:12.187 --> 00:22:13.688
Floor. it's all because of the god who overrules.
00:22:13.755 --> 00:22:16.591
Of the god who overrules. two thousand years ago,
00:22:16.658 --> 00:22:19.027
Two thousand years ago, jesus hung on the cross.
00:22:19.094 --> 00:22:20.829
Jesus hung on the cross. he was beaten by soldiers,
00:22:20.896 --> 00:22:22.431
He was beaten by soldiers, mocked, ridiculed.
00:22:22.497 --> 00:22:23.899
Mocked, ridiculed. it looked like it was
00:22:23.965 --> 00:22:24.900
It looked like it was over. all of hell was
00:22:24.966 --> 00:22:26.768
Over. all of hell was rejoicing.
00:22:26.835 --> 00:22:27.969
Rejoicing. but in the heavens, god
00:22:28.036 --> 00:22:29.371
But in the heavens, god didn't panic. he didn't
00:22:29.438 --> 00:22:30.906
Didn't panic. he didn't say, "what happened?
00:22:30.972 --> 00:22:32.040
Say, "what happened? my plan didn't work out.
00:22:32.107 --> 00:22:33.475
My plan didn't work out. he simply said,
00:22:33.542 --> 00:22:34.476
He simply said, "overruled."
00:22:34.543 --> 00:22:36.178
"overruled." the lower courts said
00:22:36.244 --> 00:22:37.212
The lower courts said jesus was done, defeated.
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:39.114
Jesus was done, defeated. the higher court said,
00:22:39.181 --> 00:22:40.482
The higher court said, "i don't think so."
00:22:40.549 --> 00:22:41.983
"i don't think so." on the third day, jesus
00:22:42.050 --> 00:22:43.785
On the third day, jesus came out of the grave.
00:22:43.852 --> 00:22:45.320
Came out of the grave. he said, "i am he that
00:22:45.387 --> 00:22:46.955
He said, "i am he that lives. i was dead but now
00:22:47.022 --> 00:22:49.891
Lives. i was dead but now i am alive forevermore."
00:22:49.958 --> 00:22:52.861
I am alive forevermore." if god can overrule
00:22:52.928 --> 00:22:54.696
If god can overrule death, the grave, forces
00:22:54.763 --> 00:22:57.098
Death, the grave, forces of darkness, don't you
00:22:57.165 --> 00:22:58.733
Of darkness, don't you think he can overrule
00:22:58.800 --> 00:23:00.402
Think he can overrule what's holding you back?
00:23:00.469 --> 00:23:01.570
What's holding you back? those obstacles may look
00:23:01.636 --> 00:23:04.239
Those obstacles may look permanent but in your
00:23:04.306 --> 00:23:05.540
Permanent but in your spirit you need to hear
00:23:05.607 --> 00:23:07.042
Spirit you need to hear god saying, "overruled".
00:23:07.108 --> 00:23:09.544
God saying, "overruled". that dysfunction may have
00:23:09.611 --> 00:23:10.846
That dysfunction may have been in your family line
00:23:10.912 --> 00:23:12.113
Been in your family line for generations.
00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:13.381
For generations. this is a new day.
00:23:13.448 --> 00:23:14.950
This is a new day. the god who overrules
00:23:15.016 --> 00:23:16.718
The god who overrules is about to put a stop
00:23:16.785 --> 00:23:18.119
Is about to put a stop to it. and i believe and

To it. and i believe and declare god is delivering

Declare god is delivering you from powerful enemies.

You from powerful enemies. right now he is judging
00:23:24.493 --> 00:23:26.127
In your favor. what

In your favor. what stopped you in the past

00:24:13.742 --> 00:24:15.710
This is the first bible
00:24:15.977 --> 00:24:17.345
This is the first bible that my parents gave me.
00:24:17.412 --> 00:24:18.880
That my parents gave me. i was six years old.
00:24:18.947 --> 00:24:20.682
I was six years old. they taught me
00:24:20.749 --> 00:24:21.283
They taught me the importance of believing
00:24:21.349 --> 00:24:22.617
The importance of believing what god says about you,
00:24:22.684 --> 00:24:24.052
What god says about you, and letting that
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:24.920
And letting that determine your self-image.
00:24:24.986 --> 00:24:26.655
Determine your self-image. that how through the scripture,

The bible is not practical for them,
00:24:34.229 --> 00:24:35.330
