About he'll do it again. we've all seen god work in

Our lives. open a door we couldn't open. bring great
00:01:15.832 --> 00:01:17.634
Couldn't open. bring great people across our path. or
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:19.335
People across our path. or turn a situation around. we
00:01:19.402 --> 00:01:21.538
Turn a situation around. we know it was his hand of
00:01:21.604 --> 00:01:22.772
Know it was his hand of favor. it's good to look back
00:01:22.839 --> 00:01:24.941
Favor. it's good to look back and remember what god has
00:01:25.008 --> 00:01:26.109
And remember what god has done, let that be fuel for

Yesterday's miracles. he's a do it again god. not only

Do it again god. not only what he's done in your life,
00:01:35.852 --> 00:01:37.754
What he's done in your life, but when you look back in the
00:01:37.820 --> 00:01:38.855
But when you look back in the scripture, that's showing you
00:01:38.922 --> 00:01:40.657
Scripture, that's showing you his nature. he parted red
00:01:40.723 --> 00:01:43.092
His nature. he parted red seas back then. he's going to
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:44.861
Seas back then. he's going to make ways in your life. he

Rahab, the former prostitute in the family line of jesus.
00:02:06.115 --> 00:02:08.585
In the family line of jesus. the good news is he's a do it

Them, he can do it for you. a great way to release your
00:02:14.924 --> 00:02:16.159
A great way to release your faith is to remind god what
00:02:16.226 --> 00:02:18.361
Faith is to remind god what he did, and then say, “god do
00:02:18.428 --> 00:02:20.163
He did, and then say, “god do it again for me.” “god, you
00:02:20.230 --> 00:02:22.332
It again for me.” “god, you caused david to defeat a
00:02:22.398 --> 00:02:23.900
Caused david to defeat a giant that was twice his
00:02:23.967 --> 00:02:25.201
Giant that was twice his size. now i'm facing this big
00:02:25.268 --> 00:02:27.437
Size. now i'm facing this big obstacle, god do it again for
00:02:27.503 --> 00:02:29.305
Obstacle, god do it again for me.” “god, you gave hannah a
00:02:29.372 --> 00:02:31.674
Me.” “god, you gave hannah a baby after she'd been barren
00:02:31.741 --> 00:02:33.943
Baby after she'd been barren for many years. you turned
00:02:34.010 --> 00:02:35.778
For many years. you turned that situation around. god
00:02:35.845 --> 00:02:37.580
That situation around. god i'm told we can't have a
00:02:37.647 --> 00:02:39.148
I'm told we can't have a child, but god, i'm asking
00:02:39.215 --> 00:02:40.783
Child, but god, i'm asking you to do it again for us.”
00:02:40.850 --> 00:02:42.986
You to do it again for us.” anything you can find that
00:02:43.052 --> 00:02:44.487
Anything you can find that god has done before, in your
00:02:44.554 --> 00:02:46.122
God has done before, in your life, a friend's life, in the
00:02:46.189 --> 00:02:47.824
Life, a friend's life, in the scripture, let that be a
00:02:47.890 --> 00:02:49.792
Scripture, let that be a reference point. god did it
00:02:49.859 --> 00:02:51.594
Reference point. god did it for them. now he can do it
00:02:51.661 --> 00:02:53.296
For them. now he can do it again for you.
00:02:53.363 --> 00:02:55.398
Again for you. that's why i tell so often
00:02:55.465 --> 00:02:56.666
That's why i tell so often about us getting the compaq
00:02:56.733 --> 00:02:57.967
About us getting the compaq center. that was the hand of
00:02:58.034 --> 00:02:59.702
Center. that was the hand of god, making a way where we
00:02:59.769 --> 00:03:01.537
God, making a way where we didn't see a way. when you
00:03:01.604 --> 00:03:03.406
Didn't see a way. when you face obstacles that look too
00:03:03.473 --> 00:03:05.241
Face obstacles that look too big, you don't have the
00:03:05.308 --> 00:03:06.643
Big, you don't have the finances, the connections.
00:03:06.709 --> 00:03:08.511
Finances, the connections. instead of doubting, giving
00:03:08.578 --> 00:03:10.680
Instead of doubting, giving up. dare to say, “god you did
00:03:10.747 --> 00:03:12.982
Up. dare to say, “god you did it for lakewood, do it again
00:03:13.049 --> 00:03:14.584
It for lakewood, do it again for me. you defeated their
00:03:14.651 --> 00:03:16.452
For me. you defeated their giants. defeat this giant.”
00:03:16.519 --> 00:03:18.821
Giants. defeat this giant.” if you're facing an illness

Not going to get well. “god, you did it for joel's mother.
00:03:24.727 --> 00:03:26.095
You did it for joel's mother. you healed her of terminal
00:03:26.162 --> 00:03:27.664
You healed her of terminal cancer, do it again for me.”
00:03:27.730 --> 00:03:30.300
Cancer, do it again for me.” the scripture says, “jesus
00:03:30.366 --> 00:03:31.801
The scripture says, “jesus christ is the same yesterday,
00:03:31.868 --> 00:03:34.170
Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.” what he
00:03:34.237 --> 00:03:36.539
Today and forever.” what he did back in bible days, he'll

Ten years ago. your past victories were not your last
00:03:45.748 --> 00:03:47.750
Victories were not your last victories. you've seen god

Victories. you've seen god show out in your yesterday's,

Boldness to say, “god, do it again for me.”

Again for me.” when david faced goliath, he
00:04:09.272 --> 00:04:10.973
When david faced goliath, he didn't have a chance. goliath
00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:12.508
Didn't have a chance. goliath stood over nine feet tall.
00:04:12.575 --> 00:04:14.510
Stood over nine feet tall. his armor weighed a hundred
00:04:14.577 --> 00:04:15.778
His armor weighed a hundred and twenty-five pounds. david
00:04:15.845 --> 00:04:17.780
And twenty-five pounds. david was half his size. a
00:04:17.847 --> 00:04:18.881
Was half his size. a teenager. no military
00:04:18.948 --> 00:04:20.583
Teenager. no military training. david was a
00:04:20.650 --> 00:04:22.085
Training. david was a shepherd, out taking care of
00:04:22.151 --> 00:04:23.686
Shepherd, out taking care of animals. goliath was the
00:04:23.753 --> 00:04:25.621
Animals. goliath was the champion of the philistine
00:04:25.688 --> 00:04:27.056
Champion of the philistine army. how could david have
00:04:27.123 --> 00:04:29.625
Army. how could david have the courage, the faith, to go
00:04:29.692 --> 00:04:31.861
The courage, the faith, to go out and face him? i can
00:04:31.928 --> 00:04:33.830
Out and face him? i can imagine, as david was
00:04:33.896 --> 00:04:35.331
Imagine, as david was thinking about this huge
00:04:35.398 --> 00:04:36.599
Thinking about this huge giant, his mind went back to
00:04:36.666 --> 00:04:38.901
Giant, his mind went back to the stories he had heard
00:04:38.968 --> 00:04:40.370
The stories he had heard about joshua and caleb. when
00:04:40.436 --> 00:04:42.739
About joshua and caleb. when moses sent men in to spy out
00:04:42.805 --> 00:04:44.774
Moses sent men in to spy out the promised land, they
00:04:44.841 --> 00:04:46.142
The promised land, they discovered there were giants
00:04:46.209 --> 00:04:47.577
Discovered there were giants living there. they were the
00:04:47.643 --> 00:04:48.811
Living there. they were the sons of anak, this huge
00:04:48.878 --> 00:04:50.646
Sons of anak, this huge giant. they were called the
00:04:50.713 --> 00:04:51.447
Giant. they were called the anakites. the spies came
00:04:51.514 --> 00:04:53.583
Anakites. the spies came back, “moses, we don't have a
00:04:53.649 --> 00:04:54.917
Back, “moses, we don't have a chance. they're too big, we
00:04:54.984 --> 00:04:57.220
Chance. they're too big, we felt like grasshoppers
00:04:57.286 --> 00:04:58.321
Felt like grasshoppers compared to them.” but joshua
00:04:58.388 --> 00:05:00.890
Compared to them.” but joshua and caleb had a different
00:05:00.957 --> 00:05:02.258
And caleb had a different report. they said, “we are
00:05:02.325 --> 00:05:03.760
Report. they said, “we are well able. let us go in at
00:05:03.826 --> 00:05:05.628
Well able. let us go in at once. our god is bigger.” but
00:05:05.695 --> 00:05:08.131
Once. our god is bigger.” but the negative report spread
00:05:08.197 --> 00:05:09.632
The negative report spread like wildfire. the people
00:05:09.699 --> 00:05:11.401
Like wildfire. the people never did go into the
00:05:11.467 --> 00:05:12.602
Never did go into the promised land. they died in
00:05:12.668 --> 00:05:14.036
Promised land. they died in the wilderness. but forty
00:05:14.103 --> 00:05:16.005
The wilderness. but forty years later, when joshua came
00:05:16.072 --> 00:05:18.341
Years later, when joshua came to the land of canaan, you
00:05:18.408 --> 00:05:19.942
To the land of canaan, you know who was on it. the
00:05:20.009 --> 00:05:21.077
Know who was on it. the anakites. these same giants
00:05:21.144 --> 00:05:23.479
Anakites. these same giants inhabited the land. but this
00:05:23.546 --> 00:05:25.581
Inhabited the land. but this time, joshua took this
00:05:25.648 --> 00:05:27.350
Time, joshua took this younger generation, people
00:05:27.417 --> 00:05:29.252
Younger generation, people that had a different mindset,
00:05:29.318 --> 00:05:31.154
That had a different mindset, and they went in and defeated
00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:32.688
And they went in and defeated the giants and made it to the
00:05:32.755 --> 00:05:34.390
The giants and made it to the promised land.
00:05:34.457 --> 00:05:35.992
Promised land. forty years after joshua had
00:05:36.058 --> 00:05:37.960
Forty years after joshua had died, david was facing
00:05:38.027 --> 00:05:39.896
Died, david was facing goliath, another giant. the
00:05:39.962 --> 00:05:42.098
Goliath, another giant. the first group that didn't make
00:05:42.165 --> 00:05:43.499
First group that didn't make it into the promised land,
00:05:43.566 --> 00:05:45.101
It into the promised land, they had no reference point.
00:05:45.168 --> 00:05:46.569
They had no reference point. they had never seen anyone
00:05:46.636 --> 00:05:47.770
They had never seen anyone defeat giants. but not david.
00:05:47.837 --> 00:05:50.640
Defeat giants. but not david. he had heard the stories of
00:05:50.706 --> 00:05:51.908
He had heard the stories of how joshua had gone up
00:05:51.974 --> 00:05:53.876
How joshua had gone up against a whole city of
00:05:53.943 --> 00:05:55.611
Against a whole city of giants and wiped out all the
00:05:55.678 --> 00:05:57.480
Giants and wiped out all the anakites. now david had a
00:05:57.547 --> 00:05:59.682
Anakites. now david had a reference point. when fear
00:05:59.749 --> 00:06:01.684
Reference point. when fear and doubt tried to flood his
00:06:01.751 --> 00:06:03.319
And doubt tried to flood his mind, david thought, “wait a
00:06:03.386 --> 00:06:04.854
Mind, david thought, “wait a minute. god, you did it for
00:06:04.921 --> 00:06:06.389
Minute. god, you did it for joshua. you gave him
00:06:06.456 --> 00:06:07.924
Joshua. you gave him supernatural strength to
00:06:07.990 --> 00:06:09.525
Supernatural strength to defeat an army of giants.
00:06:09.592 --> 00:06:11.394
Defeat an army of giants. god, i know since you did it
00:06:11.461 --> 00:06:12.829
God, i know since you did it for him, you'll do it again
00:06:12.895 --> 00:06:14.430
For him, you'll do it again for me.” david had a do it
00:06:14.497 --> 00:06:17.233
For me.” david had a do it again mentality. he
00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:19.001
Again mentality. he remembered what god had done
00:06:19.068 --> 00:06:20.470
Remembered what god had done in the past. that was the
00:06:20.536 --> 00:06:22.238
In the past. that was the fuel that empowered him to
00:06:22.305 --> 00:06:24.006
Fuel that empowered him to step into his destiny.
00:06:24.073 --> 00:06:26.008
Step into his destiny. when you face giants in life,
00:06:26.075 --> 00:06:27.710
When you face giants in life, a giant of sickness, of debt,
00:06:27.777 --> 00:06:30.847
A giant of sickness, of debt, of trouble, don't be like the
00:06:30.913 --> 00:06:32.215
Of trouble, don't be like the first group. “we're not able,
00:06:32.281 --> 00:06:34.417
First group. “we're not able, it's too big.” no, you have a
00:06:34.484 --> 00:06:36.118
It's too big.” no, you have a reference point. god did it
00:06:36.185 --> 00:06:38.154
Reference point. god did it for joshua. he defeated a
00:06:38.221 --> 00:06:40.122
For joshua. he defeated a city full of giants. god did
00:06:40.189 --> 00:06:42.291
City full of giants. god did it for david. anointed his
00:06:42.358 --> 00:06:44.160
It for david. anointed his sling shot. he brought down
00:06:44.227 --> 00:06:46.028
Sling shot. he brought down what should have defeated
00:06:46.095 --> 00:06:46.996
What should have defeated him. our attitude should be,
00:06:47.063 --> 00:06:49.065
Him. our attitude should be, “god, i'm asking you to do it
00:06:49.131 --> 00:06:50.967
“god, i'm asking you to do it again in my life. show
00:06:51.033 --> 00:06:52.702
Again in my life. show yourself strong. bring down
00:06:52.768 --> 00:06:54.570
Yourself strong. bring down these giants.” that's the
00:06:54.637 --> 00:06:57.139
These giants.” that's the faith that activates god's
00:06:57.206 --> 00:06:59.041
Faith that activates god's power. find a reference point
00:06:59.108 --> 00:07:01.944
Power. find a reference point for what you're believing
00:07:02.011 --> 00:07:02.879
For what you're believing for. somewhere in the
00:07:02.945 --> 00:07:04.180
For. somewhere in the scripture, or a friend, a
00:07:04.247 --> 00:07:06.315
Scripture, or a friend, a relative, where you know it
00:07:06.382 --> 00:07:07.750
Relative, where you know it was the hand of god. have
00:07:07.817 --> 00:07:09.585
Was the hand of god. have this boldness to ask god to
00:07:09.652 --> 00:07:11.554
This boldness to ask god to do it again.
00:07:11.621 --> 00:07:13.155
This is what my parents did.
00:07:13.256 --> 00:07:14.790
This is what my parents did. my sister lisa was born with
00:07:14.857 --> 00:07:16.425
My sister lisa was born with a birth injury, something
00:07:16.492 --> 00:07:17.994
A birth injury, something like cerebral palsy. the
00:07:18.060 --> 00:07:19.962
Like cerebral palsy. the doctors told them that she
00:07:20.029 --> 00:07:21.130
Doctors told them that she would probably never be able
00:07:21.197 --> 00:07:22.331
Would probably never be able to walk or feed herself. my
00:07:22.398 --> 00:07:24.600
Father had been pastoring
00:07:24.700 --> 00:07:26.202
Father had been pastoring churches for years. he was
00:07:26.269 --> 00:07:28.137
Churches for years. he was taught in seminary that god
00:07:28.204 --> 00:07:29.772
Taught in seminary that god doesn't heal today. that was
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.841
Doesn't heal today. that was only back in bible days. that
00:07:31.908 --> 00:07:33.809
Only back in bible days. that you just have to accept it.
00:07:33.876 --> 00:07:35.411
You just have to accept it. god is teaching you a lesson.
00:07:35.478 --> 00:07:36.979
God is teaching you a lesson. that's your cross to bear.
00:07:37.046 --> 00:07:39.148
That's your cross to bear. but god said in hosea, “my
00:07:39.215 --> 00:07:41.183
But god said in hosea, “my people are destroyed for a
00:07:41.250 --> 00:07:42.952
People are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.” there's a
00:07:43.019 --> 00:07:45.021
Lack of knowledge.” there's a saying, “what you don't know,
00:07:45.087 --> 00:07:46.956
Saying, “what you don't know, won't hurt you,” but that's
00:07:47.023 --> 00:07:48.724
Won't hurt you,” but that's not always true. if you don't
00:07:48.791 --> 00:07:50.526
Not always true. if you don't know it's god's will to heal
00:07:50.593 --> 00:07:52.295
Know it's god's will to heal you, free you, deliver you,
00:07:52.361 --> 00:07:54.864
You, free you, deliver you, prosper you, then you won't
00:07:54.931 --> 00:07:56.832
Prosper you, then you won't walk in the victory that
00:07:56.899 --> 00:07:58.134
Walk in the victory that belongs to you. so often, our
00:07:58.200 --> 00:08:01.604
Belongs to you. so often, our thinking is keeping us from
00:08:01.671 --> 00:08:03.306
Thinking is keeping us from god's best. doubt, tradition,
00:08:03.372 --> 00:08:06.375
God's best. doubt, tradition, the way we grew up. everyone
00:08:06.442 --> 00:08:08.477
The way we grew up. everyone in our family was addicted,
00:08:08.544 --> 00:08:10.413
In our family was addicted, depressed, compromised. maybe
00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:12.982
Depressed, compromised. maybe they didn't know any better.
00:08:13.049 --> 00:08:14.650
They didn't know any better. they thought they had to
00:08:14.717 --> 00:08:15.618
They thought they had to accept it. but you know more.
00:08:15.685 --> 00:08:17.920
Accept it. but you know more. you're the one god's raised
00:08:17.987 --> 00:08:19.322
You're the one god's raised up to break the negative
00:08:19.388 --> 00:08:20.556
Up to break the negative cycle. break the dysfunction;
00:08:20.623 --> 00:08:22.758
Cycle. break the dysfunction; to set a new standard.
00:08:22.825 --> 00:08:25.027
My father was taught wrong.
00:08:25.127 --> 00:08:26.963
My father was taught wrong. his tradition said, “your
00:08:27.029 --> 00:08:28.364
His tradition said, “your daughter can't be healed.”
00:08:28.431 --> 00:08:30.099
Daughter can't be healed.” but something down deep
00:08:30.166 --> 00:08:31.534
But something down deep didn't sit right. the holy
00:08:31.601 --> 00:08:33.135
Didn't sit right. the holy spirit will rise up in you to
00:08:33.202 --> 00:08:35.404
Spirit will rise up in you to challenge what you're
00:08:35.471 --> 00:08:36.405
Challenge what you're believing. to stir you to
00:08:36.472 --> 00:08:38.307
Believing. to stir you to reevaluate why you think the
00:08:38.374 --> 00:08:40.610
Reevaluate why you think the way you think. my father went
00:08:40.676 --> 00:08:42.845
Way you think. my father went to a hotel, downtown, for a
00:08:42.912 --> 00:08:44.647
To a hotel, downtown, for a few days to be alone and to
00:08:44.714 --> 00:08:46.782
Few days to be alone and to read
00:08:46.849 --> 00:08:47.416
Read the scripture. he told how he
00:08:47.483 --> 00:08:48.884
The scripture. he told how he took off his denominational
00:08:48.951 --> 00:08:50.419
Took off his denominational glasses and he read it like
00:08:50.486 --> 00:08:52.488
He was reading it for the
00:08:52.588 --> 00:08:53.356
He was reading it for the first time. he saw how jesus
00:08:53.422 --> 00:08:55.791
First time. he saw how jesus went around healing person
00:08:55.858 --> 00:08:57.259
Went around healing person after person. healed the lady
00:08:57.326 --> 00:08:59.161
After person. healed the lady with the issue of blood,
00:08:59.228 --> 00:09:00.596
With the issue of blood, healed the blind man, healed
00:09:00.663 --> 00:09:02.131
Healed the blind man, healed peter's mother-in-law, healed
00:09:02.198 --> 00:09:03.833
Peter's mother-in-law, healed the ten lepers, healed the
00:09:03.899 --> 00:09:05.334
The ten lepers, healed the crippled man, healed the man
00:09:05.401 --> 00:09:06.802
Crippled man, healed the man with the withered hand. daddy
00:09:06.869 --> 00:09:08.804
With the withered hand. daddy thought, “oh that's great,
00:09:08.871 --> 00:09:09.772
Thought, “oh that's great, all happened back then.” then
00:09:09.839 --> 00:09:11.507
All happened back then.” then he read how jesus is the same
00:09:11.574 --> 00:09:13.843
He read how jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.
00:09:13.909 --> 00:09:16.012
Yesterday, today and forever. a light turned on, he
00:09:16.078 --> 00:09:18.314
A light turned on, he realized if he did it back
00:09:18.381 --> 00:09:19.749
Realized if he did it back then, he'll do it again
00:09:19.815 --> 00:09:21.083
Then, he'll do it again today. that day was a turning
00:09:21.150 --> 00:09:23.285
Today. that day was a turning point. he quit praying, “god,
00:09:23.352 --> 00:09:25.221
Point. he quit praying, “god, just give us the grace to
00:09:25.287 --> 00:09:27.089
Just give us the grace to raise lisa and endure this
00:09:27.156 --> 00:09:28.891
Raise lisa and endure this hardship.” he started praying
00:09:28.958 --> 00:09:31.093
Hardship.” he started praying in faith, “god, you did it
00:09:31.160 --> 00:09:33.029
In faith, “god, you did it for the leper,s do it again
00:09:33.095 --> 00:09:34.697
For the leper,s do it again for us. god, you did it for
00:09:34.764 --> 00:09:36.666
For us. god, you did it for the woman that was sick for
00:09:36.732 --> 00:09:37.867
The woman that was sick for twelve years, but she touched
00:09:37.933 --> 00:09:39.635
Twelve years, but she touched the edge of your robe, god,
00:09:39.702 --> 00:09:41.203
The edge of your robe, god, do it again for lisa.” he got
00:09:41.270 --> 00:09:43.539
Do it again for lisa.” he got a new reference point. little
00:09:43.606 --> 00:09:45.141
A new reference point. little by little, lisa started
00:09:45.207 --> 00:09:46.242
By little, lisa started getting better and better.
00:09:46.308 --> 00:09:47.777
Getting better and better. today, you know, lisa is
00:09:47.843 --> 00:09:49.145
Today, you know, lisa is perfectly healthy, whole, a
00:09:49.211 --> 00:09:50.980
Perfectly healthy, whole, a mighty woman of faith.
00:09:51.047 --> 00:09:52.148
Mighty woman of faith. what will god do in your
00:09:52.214 --> 00:09:55.184
What will god do in your life, if you'll start praying
00:09:55.251 --> 00:09:57.086
Life, if you'll start praying some do it again prayers.
00:09:57.153 --> 00:09:59.188
Some do it again prayers. this should stir our faith.
00:09:59.255 --> 00:10:01.023
This should stir our faith. things you're believing for,
00:10:01.090 --> 00:10:03.125
Things you're believing for, promises you've been standing
00:10:03.192 --> 00:10:04.293
Promises you've been standing on a long time. you don't see
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:06.395
On a long time. you don't see anything improving, find a
00:10:06.462 --> 00:10:08.397
Anything improving, find a reference point. something
00:10:08.464 --> 00:10:10.199
Reference point. something god has done in the
00:10:10.266 --> 00:10:11.067
God has done in the scripture, a door he's opened
00:10:11.133 --> 00:10:13.302
Scripture, a door he's opened for you in the past, a friend
00:10:13.369 --> 00:10:14.770
For you in the past, a friend that saw the favor of god,
00:10:14.837 --> 00:10:16.072
That saw the favor of god, and use that as an example to
00:10:16.138 --> 00:10:18.507
And use that as an example to say, “god, do it again in my
00:10:18.574 --> 00:10:20.009
Say, “god, do it again in my life.”
00:10:20.076 --> 00:10:21.277
Life.” david said in psalm 68,
00:10:21.343 --> 00:10:23.345
David said in psalm 68, “display your power, oh lord,
00:10:23.412 --> 00:10:25.481
“display your power, oh lord, as you have done before.” at
00:10:25.548 --> 00:10:27.850
As you have done before.” at this point when he wrote
00:10:27.917 --> 00:10:28.851
This point when he wrote that, he had seen samuel come
00:10:28.918 --> 00:10:31.220
That, he had seen samuel come to the shepherd's fields and
00:10:31.287 --> 00:10:32.521
To the shepherd's fields and anoint him as the next king.
00:10:32.588 --> 00:10:34.457
Anoint him as the next king. he'd seen goliath fall. he'd
00:10:34.523 --> 00:10:36.559
He'd seen goliath fall. he'd seen protection from king
00:10:36.625 --> 00:10:38.027
Seen protection from king saul, the spears missing him,
00:10:38.094 --> 00:10:40.262
Saul, the spears missing him, a whole army chasing him
00:10:40.329 --> 00:10:42.398
A whole army chasing him through the desert but he
00:10:42.465 --> 00:10:43.199
Through the desert but he wasn't found. all these
00:10:43.265 --> 00:10:44.967
Wasn't found. all these amazing acts of god's favor,
00:10:45.034 --> 00:10:47.503
Amazing acts of god's favor, protection, promotion. he
00:10:47.570 --> 00:10:49.605
Protection, promotion. he could have been satisfied.
00:10:49.672 --> 00:10:51.140
Could have been satisfied. “i've seen god's goodness.”
00:10:51.207 --> 00:10:52.274
“i've seen god's goodness.” but look at his attitude. he
00:10:52.341 --> 00:10:54.477
But look at his attitude. he was saying, “god, do it
00:10:54.543 --> 00:10:55.811
Was saying, “god, do it again. display your power,
00:10:55.878 --> 00:10:58.347
Again. display your power, your favor, your healing.” he
00:10:58.414 --> 00:11:00.616
Your favor, your healing.” he had this do it again
00:11:00.683 --> 00:11:02.051
Had this do it again mentality. that's one reason
00:11:02.118 --> 00:11:04.286
Mentality. that's one reason god used him in amazing ways.
00:11:04.353 --> 00:11:07.156
God used him in amazing ways. he found reference points
00:11:07.223 --> 00:11:09.325
He found reference points where god did it for him in
00:11:09.391 --> 00:11:10.426
Where god did it for him in the past, and where god did
00:11:10.493 --> 00:11:12.161
The past, and where god did it for others, for joshua,
00:11:12.228 --> 00:11:13.596
It for others, for joshua, for caleb. when he faced
00:11:13.662 --> 00:11:15.631
For caleb. when he faced challenges, he understood, if
00:11:15.698 --> 00:11:17.933
Challenges, he understood, if god has done it before, that
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.835
God has done it before, that set the precedent. that
00:11:19.902 --> 00:11:21.537
Set the precedent. that established the pattern. now
00:11:21.604 --> 00:11:23.439
Established the pattern. now we have an example where we
00:11:23.506 --> 00:11:25.241
We have an example where we can say in faith, “god, you
00:11:25.307 --> 00:11:27.276
Can say in faith, “god, you did it for them, now do it
00:11:27.343 --> 00:11:29.078
Did it for them, now do it again for us.”
00:11:29.145 --> 00:11:30.679
Again for us.” when you've gone through bad
00:11:30.746 --> 00:11:31.814
When you've gone through bad breaks, life has thrown you
00:11:31.881 --> 00:11:33.349
Breaks, life has thrown you some curves, it's easy to
00:11:33.415 --> 00:11:34.950
Some curves, it's easy to fall into self-pity, give up
00:11:35.017 --> 00:11:36.852
Fall into self-pity, give up on dreams. “god why did this
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:38.254
On dreams. “god why did this happen?” that's going to keep
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:39.622
Happen?” that's going to keep you where you are. why don't
00:11:39.688 --> 00:11:41.490
You where you are. why don't you go back to job in the
00:11:41.557 --> 00:11:42.391
You go back to job in the scripture to a man named job?
00:11:42.458 --> 00:11:44.794
Scripture to a man named job? job had his whole world
00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:46.328
Job had his whole world turned upside down. he was
00:11:46.395 --> 00:11:48.130
Turned upside down. he was doing great, a man of
00:11:48.197 --> 00:11:50.065
Doing great, a man of integrity, he honored god,
00:11:50.132 --> 00:11:52.334
Integrity, he honored god, but he lost his health, lost
00:11:52.401 --> 00:11:54.036
But he lost his health, lost his business, lost his
00:11:54.103 --> 00:11:55.337
His business, lost his family. he was so depressed,
00:11:55.404 --> 00:11:57.306
Family. he was so depressed, he sat down among the ashes.
00:11:57.373 --> 00:11:59.675
He sat down among the ashes. right when he was about to
00:11:59.742 --> 00:12:00.743
Right when he was about to give up, he looked to the
00:12:00.810 --> 00:12:02.044
Give up, he looked to the heavens and said, “i know my
00:12:02.111 --> 00:12:04.213
Heavens and said, “i know my redeemer lives.” in the
00:12:04.280 --> 00:12:05.781
Redeemer lives.” in the middle of the trouble, he
00:12:05.848 --> 00:12:07.149
Middle of the trouble, he started declaring the
00:12:07.216 --> 00:12:08.350
Started declaring the goodness of god. the
00:12:08.417 --> 00:12:09.985
Goodness of god. the scripture says, god brought
00:12:10.052 --> 00:12:11.353
Scripture says, god brought job out with twice what he
00:12:11.420 --> 00:12:12.888
Job out with twice what he had before. twice the cattle.
00:12:12.955 --> 00:12:14.990
Had before. twice the cattle. twice the strength. twice the
00:12:15.057 --> 00:12:16.392
Twice the strength. twice the joy. he had twice as many
00:12:16.458 --> 00:12:17.927
Joy. he had twice as many children. god gave him double
00:12:17.993 --> 00:12:20.296
Children. god gave him double for all the trouble. in those
00:12:20.362 --> 00:12:22.331
For all the trouble. in those difficult times, instead of
00:12:22.398 --> 00:12:23.999
Difficult times, instead of complaining, thinking about
00:12:24.066 --> 00:12:25.734
Complaining, thinking about how bad life is, try a new
00:12:25.801 --> 00:12:27.703
How bad life is, try a new approach. “god, you did it
00:12:27.770 --> 00:12:29.405
Approach. “god, you did it for job, i know you'll do it
00:12:29.471 --> 00:12:31.040
For job, i know you'll do it again for me. you brought him
00:12:31.106 --> 00:12:33.008
Again for me. you brought him out better than before, lord,
00:12:33.075 --> 00:12:34.677
Out better than before, lord, i want to thank you that i'm
00:12:34.743 --> 00:12:35.744
I want to thank you that i'm coming out better than
00:12:35.811 --> 00:12:36.779
Coming out better than before.” that's what gets
00:12:36.846 --> 00:12:38.948
Before.” that's what gets god's attention, not
00:12:39.014 --> 00:12:40.716
God's attention, not complaining, but speaking
00:12:40.783 --> 00:12:42.518
Complaining, but speaking victory. having this do it
00:12:42.585 --> 00:12:44.553
Victory. having this do it again mentality.
00:12:44.620 --> 00:12:46.488
Again mentality. the stories in the scripture
00:12:46.555 --> 00:12:48.023
The stories in the scripture aren't just there so we can
00:12:48.090 --> 00:12:49.458
Aren't just there so we can see what god did back then,
00:12:49.525 --> 00:12:51.093
See what god did back then, and celebrate their victories,
00:12:51.193 --> 00:12:53.362
And celebrate their victories, they are examples that we can
00:12:53.429 --> 00:12:55.064
They are examples that we can use for our own lives. if
00:12:55.130 --> 00:12:56.899
Use for our own lives. if you've been struggling with
00:12:56.966 --> 00:12:57.933
You've been struggling with an illness a long time, “god,
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.002
An illness a long time, “god, you healed that man that had
00:13:00.069 --> 00:13:01.337
You healed that man that had been sick for thirty-eight
00:13:01.403 --> 00:13:02.571
Been sick for thirty-eight years by the pool of
00:13:02.638 --> 00:13:03.572
Years by the pool of bethesda, god do it again for
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.608
Bethesda, god do it again for me.” you're struggling in
00:13:05.674 --> 00:13:07.643
Me.” you're struggling in your finances, “god, you
00:13:07.710 --> 00:13:09.178
Your finances, “god, you brought the israelites quail
00:13:09.245 --> 00:13:10.746
Brought the israelites quail in the desert, supernatural
00:13:10.813 --> 00:13:12.514
In the desert, supernatural provision, do it again for
00:13:12.581 --> 00:13:13.916
Provision, do it again for me.” “god, you gave rachel a
00:13:13.983 --> 00:13:16.418
Me.” “god, you gave rachel a baby after she'd been barren
00:13:16.485 --> 00:13:18.354
Baby after she'd been barren for years, god do it again
00:13:18.420 --> 00:13:20.256
For years, god do it again for us. let us conceive this
00:13:20.322 --> 00:13:22.024
Child.” “god, you broughthis
00:13:22.124 --> 00:13:23.792
Child.” “god, you broughthis ruth a great husband, after
00:13:23.859 --> 00:13:25.728
Ruth a great husband, after the pain and heartache, you
00:13:25.794 --> 00:13:27.263
The pain and heartache, you exceeded her expectations and
00:13:27.329 --> 00:13:29.331
Exceeded her expectations and gave her boaz, god do it
00:13:29.398 --> 00:13:31.367
Gave her boaz, god do it again for me. bring somebody
00:13:31.433 --> 00:13:33.168
Again for me. bring somebody amazing into my life.”
00:13:33.235 --> 00:13:35.304
This is what i had to do when
00:13:35.404 --> 00:13:36.472
This is what i had to do when my dad went to be with the
00:13:36.538 --> 00:13:37.940
My dad went to be with the lord. i knew i was supposed
00:13:38.007 --> 00:13:39.708
Lord. i knew i was supposed to step up and pastor the
00:13:39.775 --> 00:13:40.843
To step up and pastor the church, but i didn't feel
00:13:40.910 --> 00:13:42.278
Church, but i didn't feel qualified. i had never
00:13:42.344 --> 00:13:43.846
Qualified. i had never ministered, didn't have the
00:13:43.913 --> 00:13:45.180
Ministered, didn't have the training. my thoughts told me
00:13:45.247 --> 00:13:47.283
Training. my thoughts told me that i couldn't do it. but i
00:13:47.349 --> 00:13:49.018
That i couldn't do it. but i remembered in the scripture
00:13:49.084 --> 00:13:50.953
Remembered in the scripture the story of gideon. he was
00:13:51.020 --> 00:13:53.222
The story of gideon. he was hiding in a winepress, afraid
00:13:53.289 --> 00:13:55.424
Hiding in a winepress, afraid of the midianites, that had
00:13:55.491 --> 00:13:56.992
Of the midianites, that had surrounded his city. every
00:13:57.059 --> 00:13:58.761
Surrounded his city. every time the israelites crops
00:13:58.827 --> 00:14:00.195
Time the israelites crops would come up, they would
00:14:00.262 --> 00:14:01.330
Would come up, they would come and take all the
00:14:01.397 --> 00:14:02.064
Come and take all the harvest. they were much
00:14:02.131 --> 00:14:03.399
Harvest. they were much bigger and stronger. gideon
00:14:03.465 --> 00:14:05.467
Bigger and stronger. gideon was intimidated, living in
00:14:05.534 --> 00:14:07.169
Was intimidated, living in fear, when an angel appeared
00:14:07.236 --> 00:14:09.571
Fear, when an angel appeared and said, “mighty hero, the
00:14:09.638 --> 00:14:11.206
And said, “mighty hero, the lord is with you. you are to
00:14:11.273 --> 00:14:13.008
Lord is with you. you are to deliver the israelites from
00:14:13.075 --> 00:14:14.443
Deliver the israelites from the midianites.” he said,
00:14:14.510 --> 00:14:16.412
The midianites.” he said, “how can i lead these people?
00:14:16.478 --> 00:14:18.047
“how can i lead these people? i am the least one in my
00:14:18.113 --> 00:14:19.348
I am the least one in my father's house.” he was
00:14:19.415 --> 00:14:21.150
Father's house.” he was saying, “i'm not qualified. i
00:14:21.216 --> 00:14:23.285
Saying, “i'm not qualified. i don't have the talent, the
00:14:23.352 --> 00:14:24.753
Don't have the talent, the courage.” all these excuses.
00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:27.189
Courage.” all these excuses. but god wouldn't have asked
00:14:27.256 --> 00:14:28.357
But god wouldn't have asked you to do it, if he hadn't
00:14:28.424 --> 00:14:29.758
You to do it, if he hadn't already given you what you
00:14:29.825 --> 00:14:30.960
Already given you what you needed. you are strong, well
00:14:31.026 --> 00:14:33.329
Needed. you are strong, well able, equipped; you are
00:14:33.395 --> 00:14:34.663
Able, equipped; you are empowered. gideon finally
00:14:34.730 --> 00:14:36.932
Empowered. gideon finally changed his thinking. he went
00:14:36.999 --> 00:14:38.801
Changed his thinking. he went out and led the israelites to
00:14:38.867 --> 00:14:40.169
Out and led the israelites to great victories. in fact,
00:14:40.235 --> 00:14:42.237
Great victories. in fact, he's now listed as one of the
00:14:42.304 --> 00:14:43.572
He's now listed as one of the heroes of faith.
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:45.374
When my father died, i felt
00:14:45.474 --> 00:14:46.675
When my father died, i felt inadequate, unqualified. i
00:14:46.742 --> 00:14:48.010
Inadequate, unqualified. i could have stayed in hiding,
00:14:48.077 --> 00:14:49.278
Could have stayed in hiding, behind the scenes, where i
00:14:49.345 --> 00:14:51.747
Behind the scenes, where i was comfortable, but i could
00:14:51.814 --> 00:14:53.615
Was comfortable, but i could feel that calling to step up.
00:14:53.682 --> 00:14:55.884
Feel that calling to step up. i used gideon to fuel my
00:14:55.951 --> 00:14:57.519
I used gideon to fuel my faith. i said, “god when
00:14:57.586 --> 00:14:59.588
Faith. i said, “god when gideon was weak, he didn't
00:14:59.655 --> 00:15:01.490
Gideon was weak, he didn't feel like he could do it. you
00:15:01.557 --> 00:15:02.891
Feel like he could do it. you gave him strength. you went
00:15:02.958 --> 00:15:04.860
Gave him strength. you went before him and made the
00:15:04.927 --> 00:15:05.995
Before him and made the crooked places straight. you
00:15:06.061 --> 00:15:07.629
Crooked places straight. you opened doors he couldn't
00:15:07.696 --> 00:15:08.931
Opened doors he couldn't open, you protected him from
00:15:08.998 --> 00:15:10.799
Open, you protected him from enemies. god, i know you're a
00:15:10.866 --> 00:15:12.768
Do it again god. you did it
00:15:12.868 --> 00:15:14.536
Do it again god. you did it for him, lord, do it again
00:15:14.603 --> 00:15:16.105
For him, lord, do it again for me.” when you remind god
00:15:16.171 --> 00:15:19.141
For me.” when you remind god what he's done in the past,
00:15:19.208 --> 00:15:20.576
What he's done in the past, that's fuel for your faith.
00:15:20.642 --> 00:15:22.044
That's fuel for your faith. don't sit around complaining.
00:15:22.111 --> 00:15:23.879
Don't sit around complaining. “aw man, joel, the sickness
00:15:23.946 --> 00:15:25.080
“aw man, joel, the sickness is too big. my child so far
00:15:25.147 --> 00:15:27.416
Is too big. my child so far off course. my finances are
00:15:27.483 --> 00:15:29.018
Off course. my finances are so down.” defeat talk is
00:15:29.084 --> 00:15:30.953
So down.” defeat talk is going to bring defeat. never
00:15:31.020 --> 00:15:32.955
Going to bring defeat. never going to happen talk, is
00:15:33.022 --> 00:15:34.089
Going to happen talk, is going to keep it from
00:15:34.156 --> 00:15:34.723
Going to keep it from happening. zip that up and
00:15:34.790 --> 00:15:36.792
Happening. zip that up and find some examples of where
00:15:36.859 --> 00:15:38.861
Find some examples of where god did what you're believing
00:15:38.927 --> 00:15:40.596
God did what you're believing for and let that be your
00:15:40.662 --> 00:15:42.264
For and let that be your declaration. how about this:
00:15:42.331 --> 00:15:44.166
Declaration. how about this: “god, my child is way off
00:15:44.233 --> 00:15:46.068
“god, my child is way off course, but when saul was
00:15:46.135 --> 00:15:48.070
Course, but when saul was your greatest enemy, when
00:15:48.137 --> 00:15:49.638
Your greatest enemy, when saul was persecuting the
00:15:49.705 --> 00:15:51.040
Saul was persecuting the church, you changed his mind
00:15:51.106 --> 00:15:53.242
Church, you changed his mind and turned him into a
00:15:53.308 --> 00:15:54.276
And turned him into a powerful believer. god, you
00:15:54.343 --> 00:15:56.311
Powerful believer. god, you did it for saul, do it again
00:15:56.378 --> 00:15:57.846
Did it for saul, do it again for my son. turn his life
00:15:57.913 --> 00:15:59.815
For my son. turn his life around.”
00:15:59.882 --> 00:16:01.417
Around.” maybe you feel like you're in
00:16:01.483 --> 00:16:02.351
Maybe you feel like you're in a famine. things have dried
00:16:02.418 --> 00:16:04.253
A famine. things have dried up. no good breaks, problems
00:16:04.319 --> 00:16:06.822
Up. no good breaks, problems at work. it's tempting to
00:16:06.889 --> 00:16:08.490
At work. it's tempting to lose your passion, just drag
00:16:08.557 --> 00:16:10.125
Lose your passion, just drag through the day, thinking
00:16:10.192 --> 00:16:11.260
Through the day, thinking nothing good is in store. in
00:16:11.326 --> 00:16:13.562
Nothing good is in store. in the scripture, elisha was in

00:17:24.233 --> 00:17:24.933
In john chapter 12, jesus was
00:17:25.033 --> 00:17:27.736
In john chapter 12, jesus was talking to his disciples,
00:17:27.803 --> 00:17:29.571
Talking to his disciples, telling them how he was about
00:17:29.638 --> 00:17:30.672
Telling them how he was about to be crucified and how he
00:17:30.739 --> 00:17:32.207
To be crucified and how he was deeply troubled. he was
00:17:32.274 --> 00:17:34.176
Was deeply troubled. he was facing all this opposition,
00:17:34.243 --> 00:17:35.777
Facing all this opposition, suffering, but his heart was
00:17:35.844 --> 00:17:37.546
Suffering, but his heart was set on doing his father's
00:17:37.613 --> 00:17:38.847
Set on doing his father's will. he said in verse 27,
00:17:38.914 --> 00:17:41.617
Will. he said in verse 27, “this is the reason i came,
00:17:41.683 --> 00:17:43.318
“this is the reason i came, father, to bring glory to
00:17:43.385 --> 00:17:45.320
Father, to bring glory to your name.' a voice spoke out
00:17:45.387 --> 00:17:47.756
Your name.' a voice spoke out of the heavens and said, ‘i
00:17:47.823 --> 00:17:49.291
Of the heavens and said, ‘i have already brought it
00:17:49.358 --> 00:17:50.392
Have already brought it glory, and i will do it
00:17:50.459 --> 00:17:52.127
Again.'” the first glory god
00:17:52.227 --> 00:17:55.063
Again.'” the first glory god talks about is referring to
00:17:55.130 --> 00:17:56.865
Talks about is referring to jesus' birth, how that was
00:17:56.932 --> 00:17:58.834
Jesus' birth, how that was supernatural. the miracles
00:17:58.901 --> 00:18:00.736
Supernatural. the miracles jesus performed. multiplying
00:18:00.802 --> 00:18:02.704
Jesus performed. multiplying the food, raising lazarus,
00:18:02.771 --> 00:18:05.340
The food, raising lazarus, walking on water. all these
00:18:05.407 --> 00:18:07.342
Walking on water. all these things that had happened up
00:18:07.409 --> 00:18:08.577
Things that had happened up to that point that brought
00:18:08.644 --> 00:18:10.078
To that point that brought god glory. god acknowledged
00:18:10.145 --> 00:18:12.381
God glory. god acknowledged that, but then he said, “i'm
00:18:12.447 --> 00:18:14.550
That, but then he said, “i'm going to do it again.” what's
00:18:14.616 --> 00:18:16.985
Going to do it again.” what's significant is the next glory
00:18:17.052 --> 00:18:19.555
Significant is the next glory was jesus going to the cross
00:18:19.621 --> 00:18:21.523
Was jesus going to the cross and being raised from the
00:18:21.590 --> 00:18:22.457
And being raised from the dead. the next glory was
00:18:22.524 --> 00:18:24.459
Dead. the next glory was defeating the enemy, taking
00:18:24.526 --> 00:18:26.161
Defeating the enemy, taking the keys of death and hell.
00:18:26.228 --> 00:18:28.030
The keys of death and hell. the next glory was the holy
00:18:28.096 --> 00:18:29.464
The next glory was the holy spirit coming to live inside
00:18:29.531 --> 00:18:31.500
Spirit coming to live inside each one of us. the next
00:18:31.567 --> 00:18:33.135
Each one of us. the next glory was being seated at the
00:18:33.202 --> 00:18:35.237
Glory was being seated at the right hand of the father.
00:18:35.304 --> 00:18:36.238
Right hand of the father. what was god showing us? that
00:18:36.305 --> 00:18:39.141
What was god showing us? that his glory is progressive.
00:18:39.208 --> 00:18:41.610
His glory is progressive. what he's about to do is
00:18:41.677 --> 00:18:43.412
What he's about to do is greater than what he's done
00:18:43.478 --> 00:18:44.646
Greater than what he's done in the past. you've seen
00:18:44.713 --> 00:18:46.448
In the past. you've seen god's goodness, his favor,
00:18:46.515 --> 00:18:48.283
God's goodness, his favor, but you haven't seen anything
00:18:48.350 --> 00:18:49.451
But you haven't seen anything yet. when he does it again,
00:18:49.518 --> 00:18:51.186
Yet. when he does it again, it's going to be bigger,
00:18:51.253 --> 00:18:52.287
It's going to be bigger, better, something you haven't
00:18:52.354 --> 00:18:54.456
Seen.
00:18:54.556 --> 00:18:55.090
A friend of our family had a
00:18:55.190 --> 00:18:57.993

Like anything he did, took off. for many years, he was
00:19:04.967 --> 00:19:06.702
Off. for many years, he was at the top of his field. but
00:19:06.768 --> 00:19:08.470
At the top of his field. but at one point the economy
00:19:08.537 --> 00:19:09.771
At one point the economy turned. he had some setbacks;
00:19:09.838 --> 00:19:11.974
Turned. he had some setbacks; everything started to go
00:19:12.040 --> 00:19:13.242
Everything started to go down. to stay in business, he
00:19:13.308 --> 00:19:15.544
Down. to stay in business, he had to borrow money and put
00:19:15.611 --> 00:19:17.279
Had to borrow money and put his buildings up as
00:19:17.346 --> 00:19:18.380
His buildings up as collateral. he kept going

Was tens of millions of dollars in debt. he was an
00:19:23.685 --> 00:19:25.587

Older gentleman, now at the end of his career, almost
00:19:27.589 --> 00:19:29.091
End of his career, almost bankrupt, so down on himself.
00:19:29.157 --> 00:19:31.693
Bankrupt, so down on himself. he loved god, he was a strong
00:19:31.760 --> 00:19:33.695
He loved god, he was a strong believer, but everything
00:19:33.762 --> 00:19:35.297
Believer, but everything turned. a friend of mine
00:19:35.364 --> 00:19:37.232
Turned. a friend of mine would go visit with him and
00:19:37.299 --> 00:19:38.500
Would go visit with him and try to encourage him and let
00:19:38.567 --> 00:19:39.935
Try to encourage him and let him know god's still in
00:19:40.002 --> 00:19:40.836
Him know god's still in control and god could make a
00:19:40.902 --> 00:19:42.471
Control and god could make a way, but this man wouldn't
00:19:42.537 --> 00:19:44.172
Way, but this man wouldn't hear it. he used to be full
00:19:44.239 --> 00:19:46.341
Hear it. he used to be full of faith, but now he was just
00:19:46.408 --> 00:19:48.043
Of faith, but now he was just the opposite. years went by,
00:19:48.110 --> 00:19:50.479
The opposite. years went by, he was about to lose control,
00:19:50.545 --> 00:19:52.648
He was about to lose control, have it turned over to the
00:19:52.714 --> 00:19:53.615
Have it turned over to the creditors. at the last
00:19:53.682 --> 00:19:55.484
Creditors. at the last moment, this investor came
00:19:55.550 --> 00:19:57.152
Moment, this investor came in. someone that always
00:19:57.219 --> 00:19:58.787
In. someone that always admired the man. instead of
00:19:58.854 --> 00:20:00.989
Admired the man. instead of taking the business, he not
00:20:01.056 --> 00:20:02.891
Taking the business, he not only paid off all the debt,
00:20:02.958 --> 00:20:05.027
Only paid off all the debt, but he upgraded all the
00:20:05.093 --> 00:20:06.328
But he upgraded all the facilities. over a hundred
00:20:06.395 --> 00:20:08.263
Facilities. over a hundred million dollars. the man
00:20:08.330 --> 00:20:10.432
Million dollars. the man thought, he'd have to give up
00:20:10.499 --> 00:20:11.500
Thought, he'd have to give up control and change the name.
00:20:11.566 --> 00:20:13.602
Control and change the name. the investor said, “no, we're
00:20:13.669 --> 00:20:14.770
The investor said, “no, we're going to honor you by leaving
00:20:14.836 --> 00:20:16.672
Going to honor you by leaving it the same name. we're going

00:21:47.262 --> 00:21:48.296
Would catch a great haul of fish. peter had fished all
00:21:48.363 --> 00:21:49.798
Fish. peter had fished all night and caught nothing. it
00:21:49.865 --> 00:21:51.466
Night and caught nothing. it didn't make sense, but he
00:21:51.533 --> 00:21:52.868
Didn't make sense, but he went back and caught so many
00:21:52.934 --> 00:21:54.703
Went back and caught so many fish the nets began to break.
00:21:54.770 --> 00:21:57.272
That's when jesus chose peter
00:21:57.372 --> 00:21:58.974
That's when jesus chose peter as his first disciple. he was
00:21:59.040 --> 00:22:01.209
As his first disciple. he was with jesus night and day, for
00:22:01.276 --> 00:22:02.544
With jesus night and day, for three years, faithful, loyal.
00:22:02.611 --> 00:22:05.247
Three years, faithful, loyal. but when jesus was about to
00:22:05.313 --> 00:22:06.581
But when jesus was about to be crucified, peter denied
00:22:06.648 --> 00:22:08.850
Be crucified, peter denied that he knew jesus. he walked
00:22:08.917 --> 00:22:10.719
That he knew jesus. he walked away from him when jesus
00:22:10.786 --> 00:22:12.354
Away from him when jesus needed him the most. peter
00:22:12.421 --> 00:22:14.256
Needed him the most. peter never had the chance to say,
00:22:14.322 --> 00:22:15.891
Never had the chance to say, “i'm sorry,” to make things
00:22:15.957 --> 00:22:17.592
“i'm sorry,” to make things right. you can imagine how he
00:22:17.659 --> 00:22:19.795
Right. you can imagine how he felt, so down on himself.
00:22:19.861 --> 00:22:21.830
Felt, so down on himself. plus, all the uncertainty
00:22:21.897 --> 00:22:23.832
Plus, all the uncertainty with jesus being gone. peter
00:22:23.899 --> 00:22:26.368
With jesus being gone. peter was so distraught, he went
00:22:26.435 --> 00:22:27.602
Was so distraught, he went back to fishing. he left the
00:22:27.669 --> 00:22:29.604
Back to fishing. he left the disciples and went to his old
00:22:29.671 --> 00:22:31.640
Ways.
00:22:31.740 --> 00:22:32.874
Early one morning, he was in
00:22:32.974 --> 00:22:34.176
Early one morning, he was in his boat, after fishing at
00:22:34.242 --> 00:22:36.144
His boat, after fishing at night and not catching
00:22:36.211 --> 00:22:37.512
Night and not catching anything. he heard this voice
00:22:37.579 --> 00:22:39.448
Anything. he heard this voice from the beach, a man saying,
00:22:39.514 --> 00:22:41.383
From the beach, a man saying, “have you caught anything?”
00:22:41.450 --> 00:22:43.452
“have you caught anything?” peter thought, “who is this
00:22:43.518 --> 00:22:44.319
Peter thought, “who is this guy, asking about our
00:22:44.386 --> 00:22:46.188
Guy, asking about our business?” the man said,
00:22:46.254 --> 00:22:47.622
Business?” the man said, “throw your nets on the right
00:22:47.689 --> 00:22:49.090
“throw your nets on the right side of the boat, and you'll
00:22:49.157 --> 00:22:50.459
Side of the boat, and you'll catch a lot of fish.” he
00:22:50.525 --> 00:22:52.494
Catch a lot of fish.” he thought, “what do i have to
00:22:52.561 --> 00:22:53.328
Thought, “what do i have to lose?” he threw the nets and
00:22:53.395 --> 00:22:55.497
Lose?” he threw the nets and caught so many fish again
00:22:55.564 --> 00:22:57.032
Caught so many fish again they began to break. peter
00:22:57.098 --> 00:22:58.667
They began to break. peter suddenly realized it was
00:22:58.733 --> 00:23:00.402
Suddenly realized it was jesus on the shore. he swam
00:23:00.469 --> 00:23:02.637
Jesus on the shore. he swam quickly to meet him. that's
00:23:02.704 --> 00:23:04.172
Quickly to meet him. that's where jesus restored him and
00:23:04.239 --> 00:23:05.907
Where jesus restored him and spoke victory over his life.
00:23:05.974 --> 00:23:08.310
Spoke victory over his life. but notice it was the same
00:23:08.376 --> 00:23:09.878
But notice it was the same miracle as when he first
00:23:09.945 --> 00:23:11.613
Miracle as when he first called peter. you would think
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:13.782
Called peter. you would think peter blew it. he doesn't
00:23:13.849 --> 00:23:15.283
Peter blew it. he doesn't have a chance. maybe god will
00:23:15.350 --> 00:23:16.318
Have a chance. maybe god will do something, but it will be
00:23:16.384 --> 00:23:17.586
Do something, but it will be way less. no god is not
00:23:17.652 --> 00:23:19.888
Way less. no god is not holding your faults against
00:23:19.955 --> 00:23:21.289
Holding your faults against you. you may have made
00:23:21.356 --> 00:23:23.091
You. you may have made mistakes. you're not where
00:23:23.158 --> 00:23:24.693
Mistakes. you're not where you should be, but god is
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:26.461
You should be, but god is calling you. he hasn't
00:23:26.528 --> 00:23:28.430
Calling you. he hasn't written you off. he didn't
00:23:28.497 --> 00:23:29.898
Written you off. he didn't cancel your destiny. quit
00:23:29.965 --> 00:23:32.167
Cancel your destiny. quit believing those lies that you
00:23:32.234 --> 00:23:33.502
Believing those lies that you missed your chance. it's too
00:23:33.568 --> 00:23:35.003
Missed your chance. it's too late. god is a do it again
00:23:35.070 --> 00:23:37.038
Late. god is a do it again god. peter wasn't just
00:23:37.105 --> 00:23:39.407
God. peter wasn't just restored back to where he
00:23:39.474 --> 00:23:40.709
Restored back to where he was, but he went on to do
00:23:40.775 --> 00:23:42.544
Was, but he went on to do greater things. he gave the

Thousand people became believers. he spoke to the
00:23:49.417 --> 00:23:51.086
Believers. he spoke to the crippled man and he was
00:23:51.152 --> 00:23:52.187
Crippled man and he was healed. he helped spread the
