I like to start with something funny. i heard
00:00:16.072 --> 00:00:17.607
Something funny. i heard about this man that was very
00:00:17.674 --> 00:00:19.008
About this man that was very stingy with his money. just
00:00:19.075 --> 00:00:21.344
Stingy with his money. just before his death, he made his
00:00:21.411 --> 00:00:22.979
Before his death, he made his wife promise that she would
00:00:23.046 --> 00:00:24.180
Wife promise that she would have him buried with the
00:00:24.247 --> 00:00:25.315
Have him buried with the $50,000 he had saved. his
00:00:25.381 --> 00:00:27.684
$50,000 he had saved. his wife reluctantly agreed. at
00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:29.552
Wife reluctantly agreed. at the funeral, right before
00:00:29.619 --> 00:00:30.887
The funeral, right before they closed the casket, she
00:00:30.954 --> 00:00:32.555
They closed the casket, she snuck in this small wooden
00:00:32.622 --> 00:00:33.957
Snuck in this small wooden box. her friends said,
00:00:34.023 --> 00:00:35.525
Box. her friends said, "surely you didn't just bury
00:00:35.592 --> 00:00:36.993
"surely you didn't just bury the money." she said, "of

The money." she said, "of course i did. i'm a

Friend said, "you mean you just buried $50,000?" she

Just buried $50,000?" she said, "yes, i did. i wrote a

Check." (laughter) say it like you mean it.
00:00:48.838 --> 00:00:50.073
Say it like you mean it. this is my bible. i am what
00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:51.608
This is my bible. i am what it says i am. i have what it

It says i am. i have what it says i have. i can do what it

Says i can do. today, i will be taught the word of god. i

Boldly confess: my mind is alert. my heart is receptive.
00:01:02.318 --> 00:01:04.287
Alert. my heart is receptive. i will never be the same in
00:01:04.354 --> 00:01:06.289
I will never be the same in jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:06.356 --> 00:01:10.326
Jesus' name. god bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:10.393 --> 00:01:11.528
I want to talk to you today about help from heaven. we
00:01:11.594 --> 00:01:13.796
About help from heaven. we all face challenges that we
00:01:13.863 --> 00:01:15.265
All face challenges that we don't see how we can
00:01:15.331 --> 00:01:16.232
Don't see how we can overcome. we don't have the
00:01:16.299 --> 00:01:17.800
Overcome. we don't have the finances for our dreams, our
00:01:17.867 --> 00:01:19.269
Finances for our dreams, our health isn't improving, a
00:01:19.335 --> 00:01:21.804
Health isn't improving, a child still off course. it's
00:01:21.871 --> 00:01:24.073
Child still off course. it's easy to get discouraged, feel
00:01:24.140 --> 00:01:25.975
Easy to get discouraged, feel alone, helpless. that's the
00:01:26.042 --> 00:01:28.711
Alone, helpless. that's the way david felt. he was hiding
00:01:28.778 --> 00:01:30.947
Way david felt. he was hiding in a cave trying to survive.
00:01:31.014 --> 00:01:33.349
In a cave trying to survive. king saul was chasing him in
00:01:33.416 --> 00:01:34.984
King saul was chasing him in the desert. saul had a whole
00:01:35.051 --> 00:01:37.086
The desert. saul had a whole army coming after him. david
00:01:37.153 --> 00:01:39.088
Army coming after him. david was by himself. he had no
00:01:39.155 --> 00:01:40.723
Was by himself. he had no weapons, no protection. what
00:01:40.790 --> 00:01:43.326
Weapons, no protection. what made it worse is david had
00:01:43.393 --> 00:01:45.161
Made it worse is david had done no wrong. he had been
00:01:45.228 --> 00:01:46.930
Done no wrong. he had been good to king saul. he played
00:01:46.996 --> 00:01:48.932
Good to king saul. he played the harp when saul was
00:01:48.998 --> 00:01:50.066
The harp when saul was depressed. he was saul's
00:01:50.133 --> 00:01:51.834
Depressed. he was saul's armor bearer. but saul became
00:01:51.901 --> 00:01:54.003
Armor bearer. but saul became jealous. he couldn't stand
00:01:54.070 --> 00:01:55.805
Jealous. he couldn't stand the favor on david's life.
00:01:55.872 --> 00:01:57.907
The favor on david's life. now he was making david
00:01:57.974 --> 00:01:59.175
Now he was making david miserable. have you ever been
00:01:59.242 --> 00:02:00.910
Miserable. have you ever been good to someone, but they
00:02:00.977 --> 00:02:02.512
Good to someone, but they turned on you. you did your
00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:04.247
Turned on you. you did your best at work, but people
00:02:04.314 --> 00:02:05.682
Best at work, but people tried to push you down. you
00:02:05.748 --> 00:02:07.650
Tried to push you down. you worked hard for a dream, but
00:02:07.717 --> 00:02:09.085
Worked hard for a dream, but something unfair happened and
00:02:09.152 --> 00:02:10.687
Something unfair happened and now you feel stuck.
00:02:10.753 --> 00:02:12.622
Now you feel stuck. david could have been bitter,
00:02:12.689 --> 00:02:14.624
David could have been bitter, angry. “god why did this
00:02:14.691 --> 00:02:15.391
Angry. “god why did this happen.” this could have been
00:02:15.458 --> 00:02:17.093
Happen.” this could have been the end of david, where he
00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:18.394
The end of david, where he faded off into the sunset.
00:02:18.461 --> 00:02:20.830
Faded off into the sunset. but david knew a secret.
00:02:20.897 --> 00:02:22.498
But david knew a secret. sitting in that cave, he
00:02:22.565 --> 00:02:24.200
Sitting in that cave, he wrote this passage in psalm
00:02:24.267 --> 00:02:25.702
Wrote this passage in psalm 57. “i am surrounded by
00:02:25.768 --> 00:02:28.271
57. “i am surrounded by fierce lions. those whose
00:02:28.338 --> 00:02:30.240
Fierce lions. those whose teeth pierce like spears, and
00:02:30.306 --> 00:02:32.542
Teeth pierce like spears, and tongues cut like swords. i am
00:02:32.609 --> 00:02:34.911
Tongues cut like swords. i am weary from so much distress.”
00:02:34.978 --> 00:02:37.513
Weary from so much distress.” he was honest, “god i'm
00:02:37.580 --> 00:02:39.249
He was honest, “god i'm overwhelmed. everything has
00:02:39.315 --> 00:02:40.950
Overwhelmed. everything has come against me. i don't see
00:02:41.017 --> 00:02:42.452
Come against me. i don't see how i can go on.” he went on
00:02:42.518 --> 00:02:44.487
How i can go on.” he went on to say. “i cry out to the
00:02:44.554 --> 00:02:46.556
To say. “i cry out to the most high, for he will send
00:02:46.623 --> 00:02:48.791
Most high, for he will send help from heaven, rescuing me
00:02:48.858 --> 00:02:51.327
Help from heaven, rescuing me from my enemies.” david
00:02:51.394 --> 00:02:53.496
From my enemies.” david understood that he wasn't
00:02:53.563 --> 00:02:55.098
Understood that he wasn't fighting on his own. that it
00:02:55.164 --> 00:02:57.233
Fighting on his own. that it wasn't just up to him, but
00:02:57.300 --> 00:02:59.135
Wasn't just up to him, but help from heaven was on the
00:02:59.202 --> 00:03:00.737
Help from heaven was on the way. he had seen this when he
00:03:00.803 --> 00:03:03.039
Way. he had seen this when he faced goliath, a giant twice
00:03:03.106 --> 00:03:05.241
Faced goliath, a giant twice his size. he didn't have a
00:03:05.308 --> 00:03:06.909
His size. he didn't have a chance, all the odds were
00:03:06.976 --> 00:03:08.344
Chance, all the odds were against him, but help from
00:03:08.411 --> 00:03:10.446
Against him, but help from heaven came. god breathed on
00:03:10.513 --> 00:03:12.582
Heaven came. god breathed on his sling shot, gave him
00:03:12.649 --> 00:03:14.217
His sling shot, gave him supernatural ability, and he
00:03:14.284 --> 00:03:15.852
Supernatural ability, and he brought down the giant.
00:03:15.918 --> 00:03:18.288
Brought down the giant. he should have been stuck
00:03:18.354 --> 00:03:19.188
He should have been stuck out in the shephers fields
00:03:19.255 --> 00:03:21.190
Out in the shephers fields where his father left him.
00:03:21.257 --> 00:03:22.825
Where his father left him. didn't call him in when
00:03:22.892 --> 00:03:23.960
Didn't call him in when the prophet samuel came
00:03:24.027 --> 00:03:25.228
The prophet samuel came to choose one of the sons
00:03:25.295 --> 00:03:27.063
To choose one of the sons as the next king.
00:03:27.130 --> 00:03:29.198
As the next king. david was overlooked, left
00:03:29.265 --> 00:03:30.533
David was overlooked, left out, didn't have a fair shot.
00:03:30.600 --> 00:03:33.136
Out, didn't have a fair shot. but help from heaven came.
00:03:33.202 --> 00:03:35.505
But help from heaven came. the oil wouldn't flow to one
00:03:35.571 --> 00:03:37.006
The oil wouldn't flow to one of the other sons. samuel
00:03:37.073 --> 00:03:38.941
Of the other sons. samuel couldn't anoint them. why is
00:03:39.008 --> 00:03:40.777
Couldn't anoint them. why is that? there are heavenly
00:03:40.843 --> 00:03:42.211
That? there are heavenly forces fighting for you.
00:03:42.278 --> 00:03:44.981
Forces fighting for you. angels god has on assignment
00:03:45.048 --> 00:03:46.749
Angels god has on assignment to assist you. what you're up
00:03:46.816 --> 00:03:49.018
To assist you. what you're up against may be too much for
00:03:49.085 --> 00:03:51.020
Against may be too much for you, but these powerful
00:03:51.087 --> 00:03:52.822
You, but these powerful warriors will push back
00:03:52.889 --> 00:03:54.457
Warriors will push back what's trying to stop you.
00:03:54.524 --> 00:03:56.559
What's trying to stop you. they are dispatched with
00:03:56.626 --> 00:03:57.593
They are dispatched with healing, freedom,
00:03:57.660 --> 00:03:59.329
Healing, freedom, breakthroughs. when you run
00:03:59.395 --> 00:04:01.331
Breakthroughs. when you run out of options. you don't
00:04:01.397 --> 00:04:02.832
Out of options. you don't have the strength, the
00:04:02.899 --> 00:04:04.200
Have the strength, the finances, the experience. you
00:04:04.267 --> 00:04:06.602
Finances, the experience. you could live worried,
00:04:06.669 --> 00:04:07.837
Could live worried, overwhelmed. no have a new
00:04:07.904 --> 00:04:09.272
Overwhelmed. no have a new perspective, help from heaven
00:04:09.339 --> 00:04:10.306
Perspective, help from heaven is coming. miracles are set
00:04:10.373 --> 00:04:11.474
Is coming. miracles are set into motion.
00:04:11.541 --> 00:04:14.143
Into motion. we look at things in the
00:04:14.210 --> 00:04:15.378
We look at things in the natural. “this is what i have
00:04:15.445 --> 00:04:17.080
Natural. “this is what i have joel. these are my options.
00:04:17.146 --> 00:04:18.614
Joel. these are my options. here's the medical report.
00:04:18.681 --> 00:04:20.383
Here's the medical report. here's the family i come
00:04:20.450 --> 00:04:21.517
Here's the family i come from.” what you can't see is
00:04:21.584 --> 00:04:23.386
From.” what you can't see is what heaven is about to do.
00:04:23.453 --> 00:04:25.922
What heaven is about to do. jesus said to peter, “it's
00:04:25.988 --> 00:04:27.657
Jesus said to peter, “it's dangerous to see things from
00:04:27.724 --> 00:04:29.592
Dangerous to see things from only a human point of view.”
00:04:29.659 --> 00:04:32.662
Only a human point of view.” it's interesting that jesus
00:04:32.729 --> 00:04:33.763
It's interesting that jesus used the word dangerous.
00:04:33.830 --> 00:04:35.264
Used the word dangerous. that's a strong word. he
00:04:35.331 --> 00:04:36.899
That's a strong word. he could have said, “it's not
00:04:36.966 --> 00:04:38.101
Could have said, “it's not good. it's unwise. it may
00:04:38.167 --> 00:04:40.069
Good. it's unwise. it may limit you.” but the reason he
00:04:40.136 --> 00:04:42.638
Limit you.” but the reason he said dangerous is because if
00:04:42.705 --> 00:04:45.041
Said dangerous is because if you only look at what you're
00:04:45.108 --> 00:04:46.175
You only look at what you're up against from a human
00:04:46.242 --> 00:04:47.510
Up against from a human perspective, you can miss
00:04:47.577 --> 00:04:49.445
Perspective, you can miss your destiny. you'll think
00:04:49.512 --> 00:04:51.381
Your destiny. you'll think you're stuck. “i'll never get
00:04:51.447 --> 00:04:52.715
You're stuck. “i'll never get well. saul's so much bigger.
00:04:52.782 --> 00:04:54.550
Well. saul's so much bigger. this addiction so much
00:04:54.617 --> 00:04:55.852
This addiction so much stronger. i don't have a
00:04:55.918 --> 00:04:56.819
Stronger. i don't have a chance.” no instead of giving
00:04:56.886 --> 00:04:58.121
Chance.” no instead of giving up, why don't you look up.
00:04:58.187 --> 00:05:00.690
Up, why don't you look up. help from heaven is on the
00:05:00.757 --> 00:05:01.924
Way.
00:05:02.024 --> 00:05:03.292
You are god's most prized
00:05:03.393 --> 00:05:04.761
You are god's most prized possession. he chose you
00:05:04.827 --> 00:05:06.829
Possession. he chose you before you could choose him.
00:05:06.896 --> 00:05:09.565
Before you could choose him. he's planned your days,
00:05:09.632 --> 00:05:10.900
He's planned your days, ordered your steps, crowned
00:05:10.967 --> 00:05:12.535
Ordered your steps, crowned you with favor. he goes
00:05:12.602 --> 00:05:14.470
You with favor. he goes before you making your
00:05:14.537 --> 00:05:15.571
Before you making your crooked places straight. he
00:05:15.638 --> 00:05:17.106
Crooked places straight. he has his angels watching after
00:05:17.173 --> 00:05:19.942
Has his angels watching after you. you're not doing life on
00:05:20.009 --> 00:05:21.010
You. you're not doing life on your own. all of heaven is
00:05:21.077 --> 00:05:22.678
Your own. all of heaven is fighting for you. when you
00:05:22.745 --> 00:05:24.981
Fighting for you. when you can't figure out what to do,

Can't figure out what to do, how it will work out. that's

How it will work out. that's when you have to do like

When you have to do like david. it's okay to be

Lift my eyes to the heavens from where my help comes.”
00:05:54.043 --> 00:05:56.412
I talked to a man after
00:05:56.512 --> 00:05:57.747
I talked to a man after service, and asked how he was
00:05:57.814 --> 00:05:59.949
Service, and asked how he was doing. it seemed like he was
00:06:00.016 --> 00:06:01.617
Doing. it seemed like he was fine, successful, content. he
00:06:01.684 --> 00:06:04.120
Fine, successful, content. he put his head down for a long
00:06:04.187 --> 00:06:05.621
Put his head down for a long time. he finally looked up
00:06:05.688 --> 00:06:07.256
Time. he finally looked up and said, “joel i'm going
00:06:07.323 --> 00:06:08.524
And said, “joel i'm going through hell.” he had lost a
00:06:08.591 --> 00:06:10.393
Through hell.” he had lost a family member tragically. he
00:06:10.460 --> 00:06:12.528
Family member tragically. he was dealing with an illness.
00:06:12.595 --> 00:06:14.230
Was dealing with an illness. he said, “i feel so lost, so

He said, “i feel so lost, so alone, so overwhelmed.” big
00:06:15.698 --> 00:06:17.867
Alone, so overwhelmed.” big tears coming down his cheeks.
00:06:17.934 --> 00:06:19.769
Tears coming down his cheeks. there's a lot of pain in the

There's a lot of pain in the world, lot of sadness. the

World, lot of sadness. the scripture says god collects
00:06:23.706 --> 00:06:25.041
Scripture says god collects your tears. he knows the

Your tears. he knows the pain, the unfair things.
00:06:27.610 --> 00:06:30.112
Pain, the unfair things. these times we feel like we
00:06:30.179 --> 00:06:31.814
These times we feel like we don't have any good options.
00:06:31.881 --> 00:06:33.282
Don't have any good options. there's no way out. but can i

Palm of his hand. he's not going to leave you

Going to leave you defenseless. when forces come

Defenseless. when forces come to try to stop your destiny,
00:06:50.266 --> 00:06:52.134
To try to stop your destiny, bring trouble, loss. looks

Looks like you're at the mercy of the medical report,
00:07:08.684 --> 00:07:10.486
Mercy of the medical report, that child is too far off
00:07:10.553 --> 00:07:11.687
That child is too far off course, the addiction too
00:07:11.754 --> 00:07:13.356

Breaker. help from heaven is on the way.
00:07:22.698 --> 00:07:25.167
I was watching a western
00:07:25.268 --> 00:07:27.003
I was watching a western movie. this army had dwindled
00:07:27.069 --> 00:07:28.604
Movie. this army had dwindled down to nothing. they had
00:07:28.671 --> 00:07:30.740
Down to nothing. they had been battered and bruised,
00:07:30.806 --> 00:07:32.074
Been battered and bruised, lost many men. now they were
00:07:32.141 --> 00:07:34.677
Running out of supplies, all
00:07:34.777 --> 00:07:35.945
Running out of supplies, all beat up, on their last leg.
00:07:36.012 --> 00:07:38.681
Beat up, on their last leg. there was an enemy army on
00:07:38.748 --> 00:07:41.017
There was an enemy army on the other side of the
00:07:41.083 --> 00:07:41.884
The other side of the mountain, much larger, much
00:07:41.951 --> 00:07:43.419
Mountain, much larger, much more equipment that was about
00:07:43.486 --> 00:07:44.954
More equipment that was about to attack. it was very
00:07:45.021 --> 00:07:46.322
To attack. it was very emotional how they were
00:07:46.389 --> 00:07:48.791
Emotional how they were coming to the end. they were
00:07:48.858 --> 00:07:50.293
Coming to the end. they were saying their goodbyes, and
00:07:50.359 --> 00:07:51.427
Saying their goodbyes, and giving each other hugs,
00:07:51.494 --> 00:07:52.562
Giving each other hugs, preparing to be either
00:07:52.628 --> 00:07:53.362
Preparing to be either captured or killed. they had
00:07:53.429 --> 00:07:54.530
Captured or killed. they had already accepted defeat.
00:07:54.597 --> 00:07:55.631
Already accepted defeat. there wasn't any way out. but
00:07:55.698 --> 00:07:56.732
There wasn't any way out. but way off in the distance, one
00:07:56.799 --> 00:07:58.701
Way off in the distance, one soldier saw this dust
00:07:58.768 --> 00:08:00.603
Soldier saw this dust billowing from a huge army
00:08:00.670 --> 00:08:03.072
Billowing from a huge army approaching. these horses
00:08:03.139 --> 00:08:04.640
Approaching. these horses coming full speed. they were
00:08:04.707 --> 00:08:06.275
Coming full speed. they were confused because the enemy
00:08:06.342 --> 00:08:07.877
Confused because the enemy army was in the other
00:08:07.944 --> 00:08:09.312
Army was in the other direction. they got their
00:08:09.378 --> 00:08:10.813
Direction. they got their binoculars and focused in.
00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:13.082
Binoculars and focused in. when they saw the flag, they
00:08:13.149 --> 00:08:14.317
When they saw the flag, they realized it was an ally army
00:08:14.383 --> 00:08:17.320
Realized it was an ally army coming to rescue them. in a
00:08:17.386 --> 00:08:19.522
Coming to rescue them. in a few minutes, they heard the
00:08:19.589 --> 00:08:20.590
Few minutes, they heard the bugles playing. they couldn't
00:08:20.656 --> 00:08:22.425
Bugles playing. they couldn't believe it. they started
00:08:22.491 --> 00:08:23.926
Believe it. they started shouting, “the calvary is
00:08:23.993 --> 00:08:25.328
Shouting, “the calvary is coming. the calvary is
00:08:25.394 --> 00:08:26.362
Coming. the calvary is coming.” one moment they were
00:08:26.429 --> 00:08:28.464
Coming.” one moment they were discouraged, thinking they
00:08:28.531 --> 00:08:29.799
Discouraged, thinking they were done, prepared to
00:08:29.865 --> 00:08:31.267
Were done, prepared to surrender. now they're
00:08:31.334 --> 00:08:32.868
Surrender. now they're excited. they've got all this
00:08:32.935 --> 00:08:34.203
Excited. they've got all this power, force, back up. when
00:08:34.270 --> 00:08:37.273
Power, force, back up. when the enemy army came, it was
00:08:37.340 --> 00:08:38.608
The enemy army came, it was like, “surprise. we're not
00:08:38.674 --> 00:08:40.543
Like, “surprise. we're not who you thought we were.
00:08:40.610 --> 00:08:42.445
Who you thought we were. we're bigger, stronger, more
00:08:42.511 --> 00:08:43.813
We're bigger, stronger, more powerful.” they easily
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:45.615
Powerful.” they easily defeated the opposition.
00:08:45.681 --> 00:08:47.750
Defeated the opposition. sometimes in life, like that
00:08:47.817 --> 00:08:50.319
Sometimes in life, like that man said, hell has come
00:08:50.386 --> 00:08:52.121
Man said, hell has come against us. we're dealing
00:08:52.188 --> 00:08:53.589
Against us. we're dealing with a sickness, family
00:08:53.656 --> 00:08:55.358
With a sickness, family trouble, business had a
00:08:55.424 --> 00:08:56.926
Trouble, business had a setback. we end up bruised,
00:08:56.993 --> 00:08:59.328
Setback. we end up bruised, tired, alone. we're suffering
00:08:59.395 --> 00:09:02.231
Tired, alone. we're suffering from battle fatigue. we've
00:09:02.298 --> 00:09:04.233
From battle fatigue. we've stood strong. we've fought
00:09:04.300 --> 00:09:06.068
Stood strong. we've fought well, but now we don't have
00:09:06.135 --> 00:09:08.004
Well, but now we don't have the strength to keep pursuing
00:09:08.070 --> 00:09:09.672
The strength to keep pursuing the dream, the passion to
00:09:09.739 --> 00:09:11.607
The dream, the passion to keep fighting for our
00:09:11.674 --> 00:09:12.942
Keep fighting for our marriage, the endurance to
00:09:13.009 --> 00:09:14.644
Marriage, the endurance to keep believing for our
00:09:14.710 --> 00:09:16.012
Keep believing for our healing. we're tired. what
00:09:16.078 --> 00:09:18.047
Healing. we're tired. what you can't see is the calvary
00:09:18.114 --> 00:09:19.815
You can't see is the calvary is coming. there are forces
00:09:19.882 --> 00:09:21.584
Is coming. there are forces that have your back. when you
00:09:21.651 --> 00:09:23.919
That have your back. when you run out of options, out of
00:09:23.986 --> 00:09:25.621
Run out of options, out of strength, out of passion,
00:09:25.688 --> 00:09:26.956
Strength, out of passion, heaven is on the way. angels
00:09:27.023 --> 00:09:28.491
Heaven is on the way. angels are in route to assist you,
00:09:28.557 --> 00:09:31.127
Are in route to assist you, to push back darkness, to
00:09:31.193 --> 00:09:32.595
To push back darkness, to open doors you can't open, to
00:09:32.662 --> 00:09:34.497
Open doors you can't open, to bring healing and
00:09:34.563 --> 00:09:35.464
Bring healing and breakthrough.
00:09:35.531 --> 00:09:37.600
It's interesting that it's
00:09:37.700 --> 00:09:38.467
It's interesting that it's called the calvary. the
00:09:38.534 --> 00:09:40.269
Called the calvary. the reinforcement, the backup.
00:09:40.336 --> 00:09:41.804
Reinforcement, the backup. when heaven comes, it's
00:09:41.871 --> 00:09:43.406
When heaven comes, it's because of what happened on
00:09:43.472 --> 00:09:44.974
Because of what happened on calvary. it's because jesus
00:09:45.041 --> 00:09:46.842
Calvary. it's because jesus gave his life and defeated
00:09:46.909 --> 00:09:48.744
Gave his life and defeated the enemy. now he has all
00:09:48.811 --> 00:09:50.646
The enemy. now he has all power. that phrase the
00:09:50.713 --> 00:09:52.882
Power. that phrase the calvary is coming in the
00:09:52.948 --> 00:09:54.550
Calvary is coming in the natural means, back up is
00:09:54.617 --> 00:09:55.651
Natural means, back up is coming, soldiers,
00:09:55.718 --> 00:09:56.619
Coming, soldiers, reinforcement. but when we
00:09:56.686 --> 00:09:57.753
Reinforcement. but when we say the calvary is coming,
00:09:57.820 --> 00:09:59.021
Say the calvary is coming, i'm talking about heavenly
00:09:59.088 --> 00:10:00.222
I'm talking about heavenly forces, the most high god
00:10:00.289 --> 00:10:02.658

Fighting for you. on your own, you may be outnumbered.

Own, you may be outnumbered. what you're up against is
00:10:07.797 --> 00:10:09.031
What you're up against is bigger, stronger, more
00:10:09.098 --> 00:10:10.733
Bigger, stronger, more powerful. but i've got my
00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:12.134
Powerful. but i've got my binoculars. through my eyes
00:10:12.201 --> 00:10:13.536
Binoculars. through my eyes of faith, i can see dust in
00:10:13.602 --> 00:10:15.471
Of faith, i can see dust in the distance. i can hear the
00:10:15.538 --> 00:10:16.939
The distance. i can hear the trumpets blowing. what is
00:10:17.006 --> 00:10:18.541
Trumpets blowing. what is that? the calvary is on the
00:10:18.607 --> 00:10:19.942
That? the calvary is on the way. that sickness should

Family member, running with the wrong crowd, should stop

The wrong crowd, should stop his purpose, but breakthrough

Pushing back what's trying to stop you, breaking through
00:10:55.845 --> 00:10:57.246
Stop you, breaking through what belongs to you. when

You're too tired. you fought too long.” just look up and
00:11:04.620 --> 00:11:06.021
Too long.” just look up and say, “father thank you that

Generational limitations being broken.
00:11:23.506 --> 00:11:25.508
Being broken. in 2 kings 6, the king of
00:11:25.574 --> 00:11:27.543
In 2 kings 6, the king of syria found out that the
00:11:27.610 --> 00:11:29.411
Syria found out that the prophet elisha was telling
00:11:29.478 --> 00:11:31.413
Prophet elisha was telling the israelites the battle
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:32.815
The israelites the battle plans of the syrian army.
00:11:32.882 --> 00:11:35.518
Plans of the syrian army. every time they made a move
00:11:35.584 --> 00:11:36.919
Every time they made a move to attack the israelites,
00:11:36.986 --> 00:11:38.354
To attack the israelites, elisha knew it, and went and
00:11:38.420 --> 00:11:39.789
Elisha knew it, and went and told the commanders. they
00:11:39.855 --> 00:11:41.524
Told the commanders. they were always one step ahead of
00:11:41.590 --> 00:11:42.758
Were always one step ahead of the syrians. the king was
00:11:42.825 --> 00:11:45.194
The syrians. the king was furious. he sent a whole

Furious. he sent a whole army, thousands of soldiers
00:11:46.829 --> 00:11:49.298
Army, thousands of soldiers and horses, to capture one
00:11:49.365 --> 00:11:51.367
And horses, to capture one man. that's how powerful you
00:11:51.433 --> 00:11:54.904
Man. that's how powerful you are. the enemy knows it, the
00:11:54.970 --> 00:11:57.306
Are. the enemy knows it, the question is, do you know it.
00:11:57.373 --> 00:11:59.842
Question is, do you know it. do you realize who you are
00:11:59.909 --> 00:12:01.210
Do you realize who you are and what you have. that
00:12:01.277 --> 00:12:03.445
And what you have. that because you belong to the

Your life. that there are heavenly forces backing you
00:12:08.484 --> 00:12:10.352
Up.
00:12:10.452 --> 00:12:11.787
The army snuck up at night
00:12:11.887 --> 00:12:13.189
The army snuck up at night and surrounded elisha's
00:12:13.255 --> 00:12:14.657
And surrounded elisha's house. the next morning
00:12:14.723 --> 00:12:16.559
House. the next morning elisha's assistant went
00:12:16.625 --> 00:12:18.360
Elisha's assistant went outside. when he saw
00:12:18.427 --> 00:12:20.162
Outside. when he saw thousands of troops and
00:12:20.229 --> 00:12:21.564
Thousands of troops and horses, he panicked. ran back
00:12:21.630 --> 00:12:23.432
Horses, he panicked. ran back in, woke elisha up, and said,
00:12:23.499 --> 00:12:25.901
In, woke elisha up, and said, “sir, we're surrounded.
00:12:25.968 --> 00:12:27.670
“sir, we're surrounded. there's no way out.
00:12:27.736 --> 00:12:29.138
There's no way out. everywhere i looked, i saw
00:12:29.205 --> 00:12:30.773
Everywhere i looked, i saw the syrian army. not
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.474
The syrian army. not hundreds, but thousands.” he
00:12:32.541 --> 00:12:34.844
Hundreds, but thousands.” he was so distraught, so afraid.
00:12:34.910 --> 00:12:37.213
Was so distraught, so afraid. elisha said, “don't worry.
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:38.280
Elisha said, “don't worry. there are more for us than
00:12:38.347 --> 00:12:39.849
There are more for us than there are against us.” his
00:12:39.915 --> 00:12:41.984
There are against us.” his assistant thought, “he's not
00:12:42.051 --> 00:12:43.419
Assistant thought, “he's not fully awake. he's still
00:12:43.485 --> 00:12:44.720
Fully awake. he's still groggy. he didn't understand
00:12:44.787 --> 00:12:46.188
Groggy. he didn't understand me.” “no elisha, there's just
00:12:46.255 --> 00:12:48.157
Me.” “no elisha, there's just two of us. there are
00:12:48.224 --> 00:12:49.491
Two of us. there are thousands of them.” that's
00:12:49.558 --> 00:12:50.993
Thousands of them.” that's why jesus said, it's
00:12:51.060 --> 00:12:52.728
Why jesus said, it's dangerous if you only see
00:12:52.795 --> 00:12:54.396
Dangerous if you only see things from a human point of
00:12:54.463 --> 00:12:56.031
Things from a human point of view. because the assistant
00:12:56.098 --> 00:12:58.000
View. because the assistant was right. they were
00:12:58.067 --> 00:12:59.435
Was right. they were surrounded. it was two people
00:12:59.501 --> 00:13:01.237
Surrounded. it was two people verse twenty thousand people.
00:13:01.303 --> 00:13:03.572
Verse twenty thousand people. but elisha understood that
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.875
But elisha understood that when the enemy comes against
00:13:05.941 --> 00:13:07.076
When the enemy comes against you, heaven shows up. god
00:13:07.142 --> 00:13:09.812
You, heaven shows up. god doesn't stay silent. you may
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:12.314
Doesn't stay silent. you may be outnumbered in the
00:13:12.381 --> 00:13:13.949
Be outnumbered in the natural, but in the unseen
00:13:14.016 --> 00:13:15.384
Natural, but in the unseen realm, there are more for you
00:13:15.451 --> 00:13:17.353
Realm, there are more for you than there are against you.
00:13:17.419 --> 00:13:19.521
Than there are against you. while you were sleeping, the
00:13:19.588 --> 00:13:20.956
While you were sleeping, the calvary showed up. god is
00:13:21.023 --> 00:13:23.025
Calvary showed up. god is watching over you. nothing
00:13:23.092 --> 00:13:24.860
Watching over you. nothing happens that he doesn't see.
00:13:24.927 --> 00:13:27.029
Happens that he doesn't see. when saul is chasing you and
00:13:27.096 --> 00:13:28.597
When saul is chasing you and you're hiding in a cave so to
00:13:28.664 --> 00:13:30.199
You're hiding in a cave so to speak, you can say like
00:13:30.266 --> 00:13:31.567
Speak, you can say like david, “i know help from
00:13:31.634 --> 00:13:33.535
David, “i know help from heaven is on the way.”
00:13:33.602 --> 00:13:35.871
Heaven is on the way.” elisha didn't condemn the
00:13:35.938 --> 00:13:37.773
Elisha didn't condemn the assistant. “you need to have
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:39.508
Assistant. “you need to have more faith. why are you
00:13:39.575 --> 00:13:40.976
More faith. why are you always doubting.” he simply
00:13:41.043 --> 00:13:42.645
Always doubting.” he simply prayed, “lord open his eyes
00:13:42.711 --> 00:13:44.513
Prayed, “lord open his eyes and let him see.” he went
00:13:44.580 --> 00:13:46.949
And let him see.” he went back out and looked a second
00:13:47.016 --> 00:13:48.350
Back out and looked a second time. this time he could see
00:13:48.417 --> 00:13:50.552
Time. this time he could see into the unseen realm. he
00:13:50.619 --> 00:13:52.688
Into the unseen realm. he didn't just see the enemy
00:13:52.755 --> 00:13:54.056
Didn't just see the enemy army that was surrounding
00:13:54.123 --> 00:13:55.157
Army that was surrounding them, he saw a heavenly army,
00:13:55.224 --> 00:13:57.526
Them, he saw a heavenly army, hundreds of thousands of
00:13:57.593 --> 00:13:59.261
Hundreds of thousands of these powerful warring
00:13:59.328 --> 00:14:01.297
These powerful warring angels, dressed and ready for
00:14:01.363 --> 00:14:03.632
Angels, dressed and ready for battle, chariots of fire all
00:14:03.699 --> 00:14:05.467
Battle, chariots of fire all across the mountainside. he
00:14:05.534 --> 00:14:07.770
Across the mountainside. he thought he was surrounded,
00:14:07.836 --> 00:14:09.571
Thought he was surrounded, but the fact is, the enemy
00:14:09.638 --> 00:14:11.473
But the fact is, the enemy was surrounded. you may feel
00:14:11.540 --> 00:14:13.575
Was surrounded. you may feel like you're surrounded today.
00:14:13.642 --> 00:14:15.411
Like you're surrounded today. what's against you is bigger,
00:14:15.477 --> 00:14:16.812
What's against you is bigger, stronger, closing in. but
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.214
Stronger, closing in. but what you can't see is the
00:14:19.281 --> 00:14:21.450
What you can't see is the forces of heaven are
00:14:21.517 --> 00:14:23.652
Forces of heaven are surrounding what's

Surrounding you. it feels like that trouble, that debt,
00:14:26.822 --> 00:14:27.690
Like that trouble, that debt, that cancer has you
00:14:27.756 --> 00:14:28.757
That cancer has you surrounded, but the truth is,
00:14:28.824 --> 00:14:30.993
Surrounded, but the truth is, the calvary has shown up.

Surrounded by the favor of god. he's your protector,

God. he's your protector, your shield, your healer,

Your shield, your healer, your provider. having faith
00:14:45.407 --> 00:14:47.676
Your provider. having faith doesn't keep us from trouble,
00:14:47.743 --> 00:14:49.912
Doesn't keep us from trouble, but when trouble shows up,
00:14:49.979 --> 00:14:51.447
But when trouble shows up, heaven comes down. god
00:14:51.513 --> 00:14:53.449
Heaven comes down. god dispatches these warring

The darkness. elisha prayed that god would
00:15:00.289 --> 00:15:01.657
Elisha prayed that god would make this enemy army blind to
00:15:01.724 --> 00:15:04.159
Make this enemy army blind to who he was. the syrian
00:15:04.226 --> 00:15:05.928
Who he was. the syrian commander knocked on the door
00:15:05.995 --> 00:15:07.863
Commander knocked on the door and said, “we're looking for
00:15:07.930 --> 00:15:09.064
And said, “we're looking for elisha.” elisha said, “i'm so
00:15:09.131 --> 00:15:11.500
Elisha.” elisha said, “i'm so sorry, he's not here. you've
00:15:11.567 --> 00:15:13.836
Sorry, he's not here. you've got the wrong house. in fact,

Got the wrong house. in fact, you're in the wrong city. if

You to elisha.” one lie after another. sometimes you have
00:15:22.044 --> 00:15:23.412
Another. sometimes you have to lie in faith. the
00:15:23.479 --> 00:15:25.514
To lie in faith. the i don█t know if

I don█t know if thats in the scripture
00:15:26.415 --> 00:15:27.216
Thats in the scripture but anyway.
00:15:27.282 --> 00:15:28.150
But anyway. this commander said,
00:15:28.217 --> 00:15:29.218
This commander said, “thank you so much.”
00:15:29.284 --> 00:15:30.552
“thank you so much.” he followed elisha all
00:15:30.619 --> 00:15:32.221
He followed elisha all the way to samaria, to the
00:15:32.287 --> 00:15:33.622
The way to samaria, to the israelites camp. when they
00:15:33.689 --> 00:15:35.524

Arrived, elisha prayed, “now god open their eyes.”
00:15:37.393 --> 00:15:39.528
God open their eyes.” suddenly they realized they
00:15:39.595 --> 00:15:40.696
Suddenly they realized they were in samaria, captured by

Says, “the trap the enemy set for you, they will fall in
00:15:46.068 --> 00:15:47.703
For you, they will fall in themselves.” god knows how to

Maybe you're facing a situation like this mother,
00:19:05.701 --> 00:19:06.902
Situation like this mother, where you've prayed and stood

In faith, done all you can, but it hasn't worked out.
00:19:10.539 --> 00:19:11.740
But it hasn't worked out. you're tempted to think,
00:19:11.807 --> 00:19:13.041
You're tempted to think, “you're stuck. you'll always
00:19:13.108 --> 00:19:14.443
“you're stuck. you'll always be lonely, have family
00:19:14.509 --> 00:19:15.944

Coming. back up is on the way. reinforcement is already

Didn't deserve. healing that confounds the experts,
00:19:31.360 --> 00:19:33.262
Confounds the experts, breakthroughs when it looked
00:19:33.328 --> 00:19:34.830
Breakthroughs when it looked permanent. the right people
00:19:34.896 --> 00:19:36.231
Permanent. the right people suddenly finding you. that
00:19:36.298 --> 00:19:38.033
Suddenly finding you. that wasn't a lucky break, wasn't
00:19:38.100 --> 00:19:39.635
Wasn't a lucky break, wasn't a coincidence. that was help
00:19:39.701 --> 00:19:41.970
A coincidence. that was help from heaven. the most high
00:19:42.037 --> 00:19:44.072
From heaven. the most high rescuing, protecting,
00:19:44.139 --> 00:19:46.208
Rescuing, protecting, favoring, bringing you out of
00:19:46.275 --> 00:19:47.809
Favoring, bringing you out of what should have stopped you.
00:19:47.876 --> 00:19:49.745
What should have stopped you. in luke 1, there was a man
00:19:49.811 --> 00:19:51.046
In luke 1, there was a man named zachariah. his wife
00:19:51.113 --> 00:19:53.081
Named zachariah. his wife elizabeth had been barren her
00:19:53.148 --> 00:19:54.683
Elizabeth had been barren her whole life and not able to
00:19:54.750 --> 00:19:57.052
Whole life and not able to have a child. now they were
00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:58.453
Have a child. now they were both way too old to have
00:19:58.520 --> 00:20:00.522
Both way too old to have children. for many years they
00:20:00.589 --> 00:20:01.690
Children. for many years they had prayed and believed to
00:20:01.757 --> 00:20:03.325
Had prayed and believed to have a baby, but it didn't
00:20:03.392 --> 00:20:04.860
Have a baby, but it didn't turn out the way they
00:20:04.926 --> 00:20:05.994
Turn out the way they thought. now they had
00:20:06.061 --> 00:20:07.596
Thought. now they had accepted that it wasn't meant
00:20:07.663 --> 00:20:08.563
Accepted that it wasn't meant to be. an angel appeared to
00:20:08.630 --> 00:20:10.465
To be. an angel appeared to zechariah and said, “god has
00:20:10.532 --> 00:20:12.467
Zechariah and said, “god has heard your prayer, and your
00:20:12.534 --> 00:20:13.902
Heard your prayer, and your wife elizabeth will have a
00:20:13.969 --> 00:20:15.837
Wife elizabeth will have a son. you are to name him
00:20:15.904 --> 00:20:17.606
Son. you are to name him john.” they had given up on
00:20:17.673 --> 00:20:20.842
John.” they had given up on having a baby. but notice god
00:20:20.909 --> 00:20:23.111
Having a baby. but notice god had heard their prayers. all
00:20:23.178 --> 00:20:24.613
Had heard their prayers. all those prayers you've prayed,
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:27.115
Those prayers you've prayed, but nothing happened. you
00:20:27.182 --> 00:20:28.550
But nothing happened. you think it's too late. that
00:20:28.617 --> 00:20:29.985
Think it's too late. that ship has already sailed. you
00:20:30.052 --> 00:20:31.553
Ship has already sailed. you don't know what god is up to.
00:20:31.620 --> 00:20:34.289
Don't know what god is up to. sometimes god will wait on
00:20:34.356 --> 00:20:35.857
Sometimes god will wait on purpose, where the odds will
00:20:35.924 --> 00:20:37.693
Purpose, where the odds will be against us in a greater
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:39.261
Be against us in a greater way, so when he does it,
00:20:39.328 --> 00:20:41.263
Way, so when he does it, everyone will know, it's his
00:20:41.330 --> 00:20:42.831
Everyone will know, it's his power. it's his favor on your
00:20:42.898 --> 00:20:44.399
Power. it's his favor on your life.
00:20:44.466 --> 00:20:46.101
Life. zechariah said to the angel,
00:20:46.168 --> 00:20:48.036
Zechariah said to the angel, “i don't see how this can
00:20:48.103 --> 00:20:49.271
“i don't see how this can happen. i'm an old man and my
00:20:49.338 --> 00:20:51.506
Happen. i'm an old man and my wife is well along in years.”
00:20:51.573 --> 00:20:54.609
Wife is well along in years.” notice he didn't call his
00:20:54.676 --> 00:20:56.078
Notice he didn't call his wife an old lady. he's a
00:20:56.144 --> 00:20:58.046
Wife an old lady. he's a smart man. our wives are
00:20:58.113 --> 00:20:59.648
Smart man. our wives are never old. they're well along
00:20:59.715 --> 00:21:02.017
Never old. they're well along in years. zechariah doubted,
00:21:02.084 --> 00:21:04.419
In years. zechariah doubted, “that's not possible. that
00:21:04.486 --> 00:21:06.755
“that's not possible. that defies logic.” he was telling
00:21:06.822 --> 00:21:08.623
Defies logic.” he was telling the angel all the reasons it
00:21:08.690 --> 00:21:10.792
The angel all the reasons it wouldn't happen. the angel
00:21:10.859 --> 00:21:12.427
Wouldn't happen. the angel said, “zechariah, i am
00:21:12.494 --> 00:21:13.829
Said, “zechariah, i am gabriel. i stand in the very
00:21:13.895 --> 00:21:16.164
Gabriel. i stand in the very presence of god. what he has
00:21:16.231 --> 00:21:18.233
Presence of god. what he has spoken will come to pass.”
00:21:18.300 --> 00:21:21.269
Spoken will come to pass.” zechariah was looking at in
00:21:21.336 --> 00:21:22.637
Zechariah was looking at in the natural, but gabriel
00:21:22.704 --> 00:21:24.539
The natural, but gabriel said, “i've come from heaven.
00:21:24.606 --> 00:21:26.641
Said, “i've come from heaven. i have help that you haven't
00:21:26.708 --> 00:21:27.843
I have help that you haven't seen. the most high god has
00:21:27.909 --> 00:21:29.578
Seen. the most high god has given me his authority.
00:21:29.644 --> 00:21:32.514
Given me his authority. we all face situations like
00:21:32.581 --> 00:21:33.849
We all face situations like zechariah, that seem
00:21:33.915 --> 00:21:35.117
Zechariah, that seem impossible. “it's too late to
00:21:35.183 --> 00:21:37.386
Impossible. “it's too late to accomplish my dream. this
00:21:37.452 --> 00:21:38.954
Accomplish my dream. this problem is too big. i'll
00:21:39.020 --> 00:21:40.756
Problem is too big. i'll never meet the right person,
00:21:40.822 --> 00:21:42.224
Never meet the right person, never have a baby.” we look
00:21:42.290 --> 00:21:43.959
Never have a baby.” we look at it logically and think,
00:21:44.025 --> 00:21:45.627
At it logically and think, “how could it happen. there's
00:21:45.694 --> 00:21:46.695
“how could it happen. there's no way.” but imagine gabriel
00:21:46.762 --> 00:21:49.064
No way.” but imagine gabriel standing before you. this
00:21:49.131 --> 00:21:50.499
Standing before you. this powerful, majestic, warring
00:21:50.565 --> 00:21:52.367
Powerful, majestic, warring angel. he says, “wait a
00:21:52.434 --> 00:21:53.835
Angel. he says, “wait a minute. i stand in the
00:21:53.902 --> 00:21:55.470
Minute. i stand in the presence of almighty god. i
00:21:55.537 --> 00:21:57.639
Presence of almighty god. i carry the authority of the
00:21:57.706 --> 00:21:59.107
Carry the authority of the most high to release heaven's
00:21:59.174 --> 00:22:01.710
Most high to release heaven's help, to bring about what he
00:22:01.777 --> 00:22:03.779
Help, to bring about what he has purposed.” all of heaven
