And inspired. i like to start with
00:00:24.270 --> 00:00:24.838
I like to start with something funny.
00:00:24.904 --> 00:00:25.905
Something funny. i heard about this minister.
00:00:25.972 --> 00:00:27.707
I heard about this minister. he was driving down the
00:00:27.774 --> 00:00:28.641
He was driving down the road when he was pulled
00:00:28.708 --> 00:00:29.943
Road when he was pulled over by a policeman. the
00:00:30.009 --> 00:00:31.845
Over by a policeman. the officer came up to the
00:00:31.911 --> 00:00:32.712
Officer came up to the window and smelled alcohol.
00:00:32.779 --> 00:00:34.914
Window and smelled alcohol. he saw a thermos and said,
00:00:34.981 --> 00:00:36.249
He saw a thermos and said, “sir, what are you
00:00:36.316 --> 00:00:36.916
“sir, what are you drinking?” the minister
00:00:36.983 --> 00:00:38.351
Drinking?” the minister said, “just water,
00:00:38.418 --> 00:00:39.119
Said, “just water, officer.” he asked to
00:00:39.185 --> 00:00:40.720
Officer.” he asked to see the thermos. he took
00:00:40.787 --> 00:00:42.155
See the thermos. he took one sniff and said,
00:00:42.222 --> 00:00:43.356
One sniff and said, “smells like wine to me.”
00:00:43.423 --> 00:00:45.391
“smells like wine to me.” the minister said, “what
00:00:45.458 --> 00:00:46.559
The minister said, “what do you know, jesus did
00:00:46.626 --> 00:00:47.927
Do you know, jesus did it again.”
00:00:47.994 --> 00:00:49.929
It again.” say it like you mean it.
00:00:49.996 --> 00:00:51.564
Say it like you mean it. this is my bible. i am
00:00:51.631 --> 00:00:53.500
This is my bible. i am what it says i am. i have
00:00:53.566 --> 00:00:55.435
What it says i am. i have what it says i have.
00:00:55.502 --> 00:00:56.803
What it says i have. i can do what it says
00:00:56.870 --> 00:00:58.037
I can do what it says i can do. today, i will
00:00:58.104 --> 00:00:59.873
I can do. today, i will be taught the word of god.
00:00:59.939 --> 00:01:01.741
Be taught the word of god. i boldly confess: my mind
00:01:01.808 --> 00:01:03.943
I boldly confess: my mind is alert. my heart is
00:01:04.010 --> 00:01:05.545
Is alert. my heart is receptive. i will never
00:01:05.612 --> 00:01:07.280
Receptive. i will never be the same in jesus'
00:01:07.347 --> 00:01:09.149
Be the same in jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:09.215 --> 00:01:12.218
Name. god bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:12.285 --> 00:01:13.319
I want to talk to you today about reverse the order.
00:01:13.386 --> 00:01:16.122
About reverse the order. we all face times where
00:01:16.189 --> 00:01:17.557
We all face times where we feel like we're at a
00:01:17.624 --> 00:01:18.525
We feel like we're at a disadvantage.
00:01:18.591 --> 00:01:20.026
Disadvantage. others have more
00:01:20.093 --> 00:01:20.760
Others have more experience, more
00:01:20.827 --> 00:01:21.995
Experience, more qualifications,
00:01:22.061 --> 00:01:23.129
Qualifications, more resources.
00:01:23.196 --> 00:01:24.364
More resources. it seems like they get
00:01:24.430 --> 00:01:25.632
It seems like they get the good breaks,
00:01:25.698 --> 00:01:26.699
The good breaks, the best positions.
00:01:26.766 --> 00:01:28.401
The best positions. it's easy to feel
00:01:28.468 --> 00:01:29.369
It's easy to feel overlooked and left out.
00:01:29.435 --> 00:01:30.970
Overlooked and left out. a friend told how at work
00:01:31.037 --> 00:01:33.606
A friend told how at work people take everyone's
00:01:33.673 --> 00:01:34.807
People take everyone's opinion except his.
00:01:34.874 --> 00:01:37.043
Opinion except his. they see him as secondary,
00:01:37.110 --> 00:01:38.511
They see him as secondary, too young, not much to
00:01:38.578 --> 00:01:39.946
Too young, not much to offer.
00:01:40.013 --> 00:01:41.314
Offer. but jesus said in matthew,
00:01:41.381 --> 00:01:43.049
But jesus said in matthew, “the last shall be first.”
00:01:43.116 --> 00:01:45.685
“the last shall be first.” god knows how to reverse
00:01:45.752 --> 00:01:47.353
God knows how to reverse the order.
00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:48.588
The order. he loves to promote people
00:01:48.655 --> 00:01:50.523
He loves to promote people who are not next in line,
00:01:50.590 --> 00:01:52.559
Who are not next in line, to take those who are
00:01:52.625 --> 00:01:53.593
To take those who are overlooked, discounted, and
00:01:53.660 --> 00:01:55.762
Overlooked, discounted, and push them into their
00:01:55.828 --> 00:01:56.863
Push them into their destiny.
00:01:56.930 --> 00:01:58.231
Destiny. one shift, one good break
00:01:58.298 --> 00:02:00.800
One shift, one good break and you'll go from being
00:02:00.867 --> 00:02:01.834
And you'll go from being overlooked to being in
00:02:01.901 --> 00:02:03.369
Overlooked to being in charge, from being left out
00:02:03.436 --> 00:02:05.505
Charge, from being left out to leading, from being
00:02:05.572 --> 00:02:06.940
To leading, from being disrespected to being
00:02:07.006 --> 00:02:08.541
Disrespected to being honored.
00:02:08.608 --> 00:02:09.676
Honored. don't get discouraged if
00:02:09.742 --> 00:02:11.110
Don't get discouraged if you feel like you're at the
00:02:11.177 --> 00:02:12.312
You feel like you're at the last so to speak, you're in
00:02:12.378 --> 00:02:14.514
Last so to speak, you're in perfect position for god to
00:02:14.581 --> 00:02:16.482
Perfect position for god to show out in your life.
00:02:16.549 --> 00:02:18.551
Show out in your life. the last is a setup.
00:02:18.618 --> 00:02:20.687
The last is a setup. being discounted is not how
00:02:20.753 --> 00:02:22.722
Being discounted is not how your story ends.
00:02:22.789 --> 00:02:24.123
Your story ends. a reversal is coming.
00:02:24.190 --> 00:02:26.392
A reversal is coming. what looks permanent is
00:02:26.459 --> 00:02:27.827
What looks permanent is only temporary.
00:02:27.894 --> 00:02:28.661
Only temporary. it looks like they have the
00:02:28.728 --> 00:02:30.263
It looks like they have the upper hand, they have the
00:02:30.330 --> 00:02:31.698
Upper hand, they have the advantage, but what god has
00:02:31.764 --> 00:02:34.033
Advantage, but what god has purposed for you cannot be
00:02:34.100 --> 00:02:35.868
Purposed for you cannot be stopped.
00:02:35.935 --> 00:02:37.237
Stopped. he didn't create you to
00:02:37.303 --> 00:02:38.471
He didn't create you to live at a disadvantage.
00:02:38.538 --> 00:02:40.473
Live at a disadvantage. he didn't breathe life into
00:02:40.540 --> 00:02:41.674
He didn't breathe life into you, to go around being
00:02:41.741 --> 00:02:43.276
You, to go around being overlooked.
00:02:43.343 --> 00:02:44.444
Overlooked. he didn't crown you with
00:02:44.510 --> 00:02:45.511
He didn't crown you with favor, for you to be
00:02:45.578 --> 00:02:46.846
Favor, for you to be discounted.
00:02:46.913 --> 00:02:48.314
Discounted. yes, we all go through
00:02:48.381 --> 00:02:49.315
Yes, we all go through seasons where these things
00:02:49.382 --> 00:02:50.750
Seasons where these things happen, but don't think
00:02:50.817 --> 00:02:52.352
Happen, but don't think it's permanent.
00:02:52.418 --> 00:02:53.519
It's permanent. there's going to be a
00:02:53.586 --> 00:02:54.187
There's going to be a reversal, a shift, a
00:02:54.254 --> 00:02:56.623
Reversal, a shift, a suddenly, where god
00:02:56.689 --> 00:02:58.124
Suddenly, where god catapults you from the back
00:02:58.191 --> 00:02:59.726
Catapults you from the back to the front, from
00:02:59.792 --> 00:03:01.261
To the front, from borrowing to lending, from
00:03:01.327 --> 00:03:03.396
Borrowing to lending, from business is slow, to
00:03:03.463 --> 00:03:04.597
Business is slow, to business is booming, from
00:03:04.664 --> 00:03:06.299
Business is booming, from no customers, to get in
00:03:06.366 --> 00:03:07.700
No customers, to get in line we're into overflow.
00:03:07.767 --> 00:03:10.169
Line we're into overflow. don't judge your situation
00:03:10.236 --> 00:03:11.671
Don't judge your situation too soon.
00:03:11.738 --> 00:03:12.672
Too soon. a reversal is coming.
00:03:12.739 --> 00:03:14.674
A reversal is coming. something uncommon.
00:03:14.741 --> 00:03:16.409
Something uncommon. you couldn't have made it
00:03:16.476 --> 00:03:17.243
You couldn't have made it happen.
00:03:17.310 --> 00:03:18.311
Happen. people that were against
00:03:18.378 --> 00:03:19.379
People that were against you, are now suddenly for
00:03:19.445 --> 00:03:20.913
You, are now suddenly for you.
00:03:20.980 --> 00:03:21.848
You. they wouldn't give you the
00:03:21.914 --> 00:03:22.582
They wouldn't give you the time of day, now they look
00:03:22.649 --> 00:03:24.117
Time of day, now they look up to you.
00:03:24.183 --> 00:03:25.485
Up to you. your marriage looked too
00:03:25.551 --> 00:03:26.552
Your marriage looked too far gone, you had given up
00:03:26.619 --> 00:03:28.388
Far gone, you had given up on it, but suddenly a
00:03:28.454 --> 00:03:29.822
On it, but suddenly a reversal.
00:03:29.889 --> 00:03:31.190
Reversal. you thought your business
00:03:31.257 --> 00:03:32.191
You thought your business was done; the pandemic set
00:03:32.258 --> 00:03:34.027
Was done; the pandemic set you back.
00:03:34.093 --> 00:03:34.794
You back. then one shift, and
00:03:34.861 --> 00:03:36.262
Then one shift, and suddenly things are
00:03:36.329 --> 00:03:37.397
Suddenly things are stronger than ever.
00:03:37.463 --> 00:03:38.231
Stronger than ever. now get in agreement with
00:03:38.298 --> 00:03:40.233
Now get in agreement with god.
00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:41.200
God. no more, “i'll never get
00:03:41.267 --> 00:03:42.168
No more, “i'll never get ahead, joel; nobody gives
00:03:42.235 --> 00:03:43.870
Ahead, joel; nobody gives me the time of day.
00:03:43.936 --> 00:03:45.338
Me the time of day. how can i break out?
00:03:45.405 --> 00:03:46.339
How can i break out? look at where i was
00:03:46.406 --> 00:03:47.273
Look at where i was raised.” no, turn it around.
00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:49.075
Raised.” no, turn it around. “father thank you that a
00:03:49.142 --> 00:03:50.276
“father thank you that a reversal is coming.
00:03:50.343 --> 00:03:51.911
Reversal is coming. thank you that you are
00:03:51.978 --> 00:03:52.645
Thank you that you are shifting things in my favor.
00:03:52.712 --> 00:03:54.714
Shifting things in my favor. that what was meant for my
00:03:54.781 --> 00:03:55.715
That what was meant for my harm, you're turning to my
00:03:55.782 --> 00:03:57.150
Harm, you're turning to my advantage.
00:03:57.216 --> 00:03:58.151
Advantage. that i will come out
00:03:58.217 --> 00:03:58.951
That i will come out stronger, healthier,
00:03:59.018 --> 00:04:00.353
Stronger, healthier, promoted, honored.”
00:04:00.420 --> 00:04:02.355
Promoted, honored.” don't live with a victim
00:04:02.422 --> 00:04:03.756
Don't live with a victim mentality, a lack mindset,
00:04:03.823 --> 00:04:06.659
Mentality, a lack mindset, “i'm overlooked, i'm at a
00:04:06.726 --> 00:04:08.061
“i'm overlooked, i'm at a disadvantage, this is just
00:04:08.127 --> 00:04:09.629
Disadvantage, this is just my lot in life.” no, your
00:04:09.696 --> 00:04:11.764
My lot in life.” no, your lot in life is to excel.
00:04:11.831 --> 00:04:14.434
Lot in life is to excel. to be the head and not the
00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:15.802
To be the head and not the tail.
00:04:15.868 --> 00:04:16.836
Tail. you may be the tail now but
00:04:16.903 --> 00:04:18.471
You may be the tail now but that's temporary, a
00:04:18.538 --> 00:04:19.806
That's temporary, a reversal is coming.
00:04:19.872 --> 00:04:21.641
Reversal is coming. to be above and not beneath.
00:04:21.708 --> 00:04:24.077
To be above and not beneath. you may be beneath now, but
00:04:24.143 --> 00:04:25.745
You may be beneath now, but above is on the way.
00:04:25.812 --> 00:04:27.480
Above is on the way. good breaks, divine
00:04:27.547 --> 00:04:29.115
Good breaks, divine connections, favor that
00:04:29.182 --> 00:04:31.351
Connections, favor that will catapult you from the
00:04:31.417 --> 00:04:32.785
Will catapult you from the last to the first.
00:04:32.852 --> 00:04:34.153
Last to the first. you don't have to make this
00:04:34.220 --> 00:04:36.622
You don't have to make this happen.
00:04:36.689 --> 00:04:37.557
Happen. you don't have to strive,
00:04:37.623 --> 00:04:39.359
You don't have to strive, manipulate people, force
00:04:39.425 --> 00:04:41.327
Manipulate people, force doors to open.
00:04:41.394 --> 00:04:42.862
Doors to open. you just keep honoring god,
00:04:42.929 --> 00:04:44.997
You just keep honoring god, doing the right thing when
00:04:45.064 --> 00:04:46.099
Doing the right thing when it's hard, being good to
00:04:46.165 --> 00:04:47.967
It's hard, being good to people, that are not being
00:04:48.034 --> 00:04:49.235
People, that are not being good to you.
00:04:49.302 --> 00:04:50.370
Good to you. keep smiling, praising,
00:04:50.436 --> 00:04:52.271
Keep smiling, praising, thanking god.
00:04:52.338 --> 00:04:53.539
Thanking god. you do your part and god
00:04:53.606 --> 00:04:55.274
You do your part and god will do his part. promotion
00:04:55.341 --> 00:04:57.443
Will do his part. promotion doesn't come from people;
00:04:57.510 --> 00:04:58.845
Doesn't come from people; it comes from the lord. he
00:04:58.911 --> 00:05:00.513
It comes from the lord. he lifts up one and sets down
00:05:00.580 --> 00:05:02.348
Lifts up one and sets down another.
00:05:02.415 --> 00:05:03.583
Another. he sees you being
00:05:03.649 --> 00:05:04.517
He sees you being overlooked.
00:05:04.584 --> 00:05:05.752
Overlooked. he sees when you're
00:05:05.818 --> 00:05:06.519
He sees when you're discounted, not treated
00:05:06.586 --> 00:05:08.354
Discounted, not treated fairly, raised in a rough
00:05:08.421 --> 00:05:10.123
Fairly, raised in a rough environment.
00:05:10.189 --> 00:05:11.424
Environment. thoughts tell you, “you'll
00:05:11.491 --> 00:05:12.658
Thoughts tell you, “you'll never get ahead, you'll
00:05:12.725 --> 00:05:14.394
Never get ahead, you'll never accomplish your
00:05:14.460 --> 00:05:15.261
Never accomplish your dream, you'll never have
00:05:15.328 --> 00:05:17.029
Dream, you'll never have respect and honor.” don't
00:05:17.096 --> 00:05:18.831
Respect and honor.” don't believe those lies.
00:05:18.898 --> 00:05:20.233
Believe those lies. the god we serve knows how
00:05:20.299 --> 00:05:22.168
The god we serve knows how to reverse the order.
00:05:22.235 --> 00:05:24.370
To reverse the order. you should have been
00:05:24.437 --> 00:05:25.037
You should have been defeated.
00:05:25.104 --> 00:05:26.072
Defeated. you should have lived
00:05:26.139 --> 00:05:26.839
You should have lived struggling, but the
00:05:26.906 --> 00:05:28.107
Struggling, but the reversal took place.
00:05:28.174 --> 00:05:29.942
Reversal took place. you went from the back to
00:05:30.009 --> 00:05:31.144
You went from the back to the front, from being
00:05:31.210 --> 00:05:32.578
The front, from being overlooked to being
00:05:32.645 --> 00:05:33.579
Overlooked to being honored, from struggling to
00:05:33.646 --> 00:05:35.381
Honored, from struggling to succeeding.
00:05:35.448 --> 00:05:36.949
Succeeding. it may not have happened
00:05:37.016 --> 00:05:37.984
It may not have happened yet, but your time is
00:05:38.050 --> 00:05:39.485
Yet, but your time is coming.
00:05:39.552 --> 00:05:40.153
Coming. your reversal is already on
00:05:40.219 --> 00:05:41.821
Your reversal is already on the schedule.
00:05:41.888 --> 00:05:43.623
The schedule. this is what happened to
00:05:43.689 --> 00:05:44.524
This is what happened to david.
00:05:44.590 --> 00:05:45.391
David. he was the youngest of
00:05:45.458 --> 00:05:46.726
He was the youngest of eight brothers.
00:05:46.793 --> 00:05:48.161
Eight brothers. his father, jesse, saw him
00:05:48.227 --> 00:05:50.463
His father, jesse, saw him as the least, not up to par.
00:05:50.530 --> 00:05:53.266
As the least, not up to par. he didn't have the talent,
00:05:53.332 --> 00:05:54.667
He didn't have the talent, the size, the experience of
00:05:54.734 --> 00:05:56.402
The size, the experience of these other brothers.
00:05:56.469 --> 00:05:57.870
These other brothers. he discounted him and left
00:05:57.937 --> 00:05:59.605
He discounted him and left him out.
00:05:59.672 --> 00:06:00.706
Him out. when the prophet samuel
00:06:00.773 --> 00:06:01.908
When the prophet samuel came to jesse's house to
00:06:01.974 --> 00:06:03.910
Came to jesse's house to anoint one of the sons as
00:06:03.976 --> 00:06:05.344
Anoint one of the sons as the next king, jesse didn't
00:06:05.411 --> 00:06:07.346
The next king, jesse didn't bother to call david in. he
00:06:07.413 --> 00:06:09.482
Bother to call david in. he thought, “there's no way
00:06:09.549 --> 00:06:10.316
Thought, “there's no way it's david.” if our destiny
00:06:10.383 --> 00:06:13.119
It's david.” if our destiny only depended on people,
00:06:13.186 --> 00:06:15.354
Only depended on people, who likes us, who believes
00:06:15.421 --> 00:06:17.156
Who likes us, who believes in us, who thinks we're
00:06:17.223 --> 00:06:18.357
In us, who thinks we're talented, we'd get stuck.
00:06:18.424 --> 00:06:20.593
Talented, we'd get stuck. because there will always
00:06:20.660 --> 00:06:21.527
Because there will always be people that discount
00:06:21.594 --> 00:06:22.995
Be people that discount you, leave you out.
00:06:23.062 --> 00:06:24.964
You, leave you out. sometimes they're
00:06:25.031 --> 00:06:25.698
Sometimes they're intimidated.
00:06:25.765 --> 00:06:27.166
Intimidated. they don't want you to pass
00:06:27.233 --> 00:06:28.201
They don't want you to pass them up.
00:06:28.267 --> 00:06:29.302
Them up. they're jealous.
00:06:29.368 --> 00:06:30.069
They're jealous. they don't want your gifts
00:06:30.136 --> 00:06:31.237
They don't want your gifts to come out.
00:06:31.304 --> 00:06:32.338
To come out. they'll try to push you
00:06:32.405 --> 00:06:33.239
They'll try to push you down.
00:06:33.306 --> 00:06:34.240
Down. the good news is, they
00:06:34.307 --> 00:06:35.675
The good news is, they don't control your destiny.
00:06:35.741 --> 00:06:37.677
Don't control your destiny. the most high god is
00:06:37.743 --> 00:06:39.312
The most high god is ordering your steps.
00:06:39.378 --> 00:06:40.646
Ordering your steps. he's working out his plan
00:06:40.713 --> 00:06:42.315
He's working out his plan for your life.
00:06:42.381 --> 00:06:43.883
For your life. david was the last son, the
00:06:43.950 --> 00:06:45.952
David was the last son, the youngest. all the brothers
00:06:46.018 --> 00:06:47.920
Youngest. all the brothers were ahead of him. but
00:06:47.987 --> 00:06:49.589
Were ahead of him. but notice what god did.
00:06:49.655 --> 00:06:51.290
Notice what god did. samuel looked at the seven
00:06:51.357 --> 00:06:52.592
Samuel looked at the seven sons, said to jesse, “it's
00:06:52.658 --> 00:06:54.560
Sons, said to jesse, “it's none of these seven, do you
00:06:54.627 --> 00:06:56.128
None of these seven, do you have any more sons?” even
00:06:56.195 --> 00:06:58.498
Have any more sons?” even when people try to leave
00:06:58.564 --> 00:06:59.699
When people try to leave you out, even when they
00:06:59.765 --> 00:07:01.167
You out, even when they overlook you, god doesn't
00:07:01.234 --> 00:07:02.802
Overlook you, god doesn't overlook you.
00:07:02.869 --> 00:07:04.437
Overlook you. jesse had david come in
00:07:04.504 --> 00:07:05.872
Jesse had david come in from the shepherd's fields.
00:07:05.938 --> 00:07:07.273
From the shepherd's fields. samuel said, “that's the
00:07:07.340 --> 00:07:08.407
Samuel said, “that's the next king.” i'm sure jesse
00:07:08.474 --> 00:07:11.110
Next king.” i'm sure jesse and the other sons thought,
00:07:11.177 --> 00:07:12.879
And the other sons thought, “how could that be?
00:07:12.945 --> 00:07:14.280
“how could that be? he's not next in line, he's
00:07:14.347 --> 00:07:16.282
He's not next in line, he's not the biggest, strongest,
00:07:16.349 --> 00:07:17.984
Not the biggest, strongest, most talented.” but god
00:07:18.050 --> 00:07:20.219
Most talented.” but god doesn't choose the way we
00:07:20.286 --> 00:07:21.521
Doesn't choose the way we choose.
00:07:21.587 --> 00:07:22.922
Choose. david went from being left
00:07:22.989 --> 00:07:24.323
David went from being left out, in the shepherd's
00:07:24.390 --> 00:07:25.992
Out, in the shepherd's fields by himself, nobody
00:07:26.058 --> 00:07:28.194
Fields by himself, nobody thinking he'd ever do
00:07:28.261 --> 00:07:29.195
Thinking he'd ever do anything great.
00:07:29.262 --> 00:07:30.530
Anything great. then god showed up and
00:07:30.596 --> 00:07:31.831
Then god showed up and said, “david, don't worry,
00:07:31.898 --> 00:07:33.299
Said, “david, don't worry, i'm about to reverse the
00:07:33.366 --> 00:07:34.500
I'm about to reverse the order.
00:07:34.567 --> 00:07:35.401
Order. i'm about to take you from
00:07:35.468 --> 00:07:36.502
I'm about to take you from the back to the front, from
00:07:36.569 --> 00:07:38.304
The back to the front, from the least to the leader,
00:07:38.371 --> 00:07:40.072
The least to the leader, from being discounted to
00:07:40.139 --> 00:07:41.407
From being discounted to being looked up to.”
00:07:41.474 --> 00:07:43.509
Being looked up to.” like david's father, you
00:07:43.576 --> 00:07:45.111
Like david's father, you may have family members
00:07:45.177 --> 00:07:46.312
May have family members that don't believe in you,
00:07:46.379 --> 00:07:48.180
That don't believe in you, relatives that look down on
00:07:48.247 --> 00:07:49.649
Relatives that look down on you, coworkers that don't
00:07:49.715 --> 00:07:51.317
You, coworkers that don't give you the time of day.
00:07:51.384 --> 00:07:52.985
Give you the time of day. it's easy to be offended,
00:07:53.052 --> 00:07:54.954
It's easy to be offended, want to get in there and
00:07:55.021 --> 00:07:55.721
Want to get in there and fight with them, try to
00:07:55.788 --> 00:07:57.390
Fight with them, try to prove to them who you are
00:07:57.456 --> 00:07:58.858
Prove to them who you are and prove that you have
00:07:58.925 --> 00:07:59.825
And prove that you have something to offer.
00:07:59.892 --> 00:08:01.527
Something to offer. that's not your battle.
00:08:01.594 --> 00:08:02.995
That's not your battle. you keep doing the right
00:08:03.062 --> 00:08:04.063
You keep doing the right thing and samuel will show
00:08:04.130 --> 00:08:05.765
Thing and samuel will show up.
00:08:05.831 --> 00:08:06.632
Up. when it's your time,
00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:07.633
When it's your time, promotion will come looking
00:08:07.700 --> 00:08:09.302
Promotion will come looking for you.
00:08:09.368 --> 00:08:10.436
For you. vindication, honor, respect
00:08:10.503 --> 00:08:13.005
Vindication, honor, respect will come knocking on your
00:08:13.072 --> 00:08:14.073
Will come knocking on your door.
00:08:14.140 --> 00:08:15.541
Door. david didn't go looking for
00:08:15.608 --> 00:08:16.676
David didn't go looking for samuel.
00:08:16.742 --> 00:08:17.877
Samuel. he didn't say, “samuel come
00:08:17.944 --> 00:08:19.045
He didn't say, “samuel come anoint me.
00:08:19.111 --> 00:08:19.712
Anoint me. i'm talented.” he didn't
00:08:19.779 --> 00:08:21.514
I'm talented.” he didn't start a campaign, “elect me
00:08:21.581 --> 00:08:23.449
Start a campaign, “elect me as the next king.” he
00:08:23.516 --> 00:08:24.951
As the next king.” he didn't go debate three
00:08:25.017 --> 00:08:26.018
Didn't go debate three other candidates.
00:08:26.085 --> 00:08:27.486
Other candidates. he knew god was ordering
00:08:27.553 --> 00:08:29.388
He knew god was ordering his steps and ordering the
00:08:29.455 --> 00:08:31.290
His steps and ordering the steps of the people he
00:08:31.357 --> 00:08:32.592
Steps of the people he needed.
00:08:32.658 --> 00:08:33.993
Needed. god has already lined up
00:08:34.060 --> 00:08:35.661
God has already lined up your samuels, things you
00:08:35.728 --> 00:08:37.597
Your samuels, things you couldn't make happen, that
00:08:37.663 --> 00:08:39.098
Couldn't make happen, that will take you from the last
00:08:39.165 --> 00:08:40.499
Will take you from the last to the first, from the
00:08:40.566 --> 00:08:41.968
To the first, from the background to the
00:08:42.034 --> 00:08:42.868
Background to the foreground.
00:08:42.935 --> 00:08:44.103
Foreground. the good breaks, the right
00:08:44.170 --> 00:08:45.671
The good breaks, the right people, the ideas.
00:08:45.738 --> 00:08:47.807
People, the ideas. there are shifts that will
00:08:47.873 --> 00:08:49.275
There are shifts that will suddenly cause people to
00:08:49.342 --> 00:08:50.910
Suddenly cause people to see you in a new light,
00:08:50.977 --> 00:08:52.778
See you in a new light, suddenly a door opens,
00:08:52.845 --> 00:08:54.647
Suddenly a door opens, suddenly things turn in
00:08:54.714 --> 00:08:56.082
Suddenly things turn in your favor.
00:08:56.148 --> 00:08:57.717
Your favor. after david was anointed to
00:08:57.783 --> 00:08:59.285
After david was anointed to be king, he went back to
00:08:59.352 --> 00:09:00.886
Be king, he went back to the shepherd's fields.
00:09:00.953 --> 00:09:02.388
The shepherd's fields. i'm sure now, he felt
00:09:02.455 --> 00:09:03.689
I'm sure now, he felt approved, valuable,
00:09:03.756 --> 00:09:05.358
Approved, valuable, vindicated.
00:09:05.424 --> 00:09:06.659
Vindicated. finally, someone pointed
00:09:06.726 --> 00:09:08.160
Finally, someone pointed out to his father that he
00:09:08.227 --> 00:09:09.395
Out to his father that he was talented and he had
00:09:09.462 --> 00:09:10.796
Was talented and he had great things to offer.
00:09:10.863 --> 00:09:12.798
Great things to offer. if that wasn't enough, not
00:09:12.865 --> 00:09:14.600
If that wasn't enough, not long after that, king saul
00:09:14.667 --> 00:09:16.469
Long after that, king saul needed someone at the
00:09:16.535 --> 00:09:17.603
Needed someone at the palace that could play the
00:09:17.670 --> 00:09:18.938
Palace that could play the harp for him. one of the
00:09:19.005 --> 00:09:20.706
Harp for him. one of the assistants knew david was
00:09:20.773 --> 00:09:22.308
Assistants knew david was great at it.
00:09:22.375 --> 00:09:23.676
Great at it. the scripture says, saul
00:09:23.743 --> 00:09:25.277
The scripture says, saul sent messengers to jesse
00:09:25.344 --> 00:09:27.680
Sent messengers to jesse saying, “send me your son
00:09:27.747 --> 00:09:29.315
Saying, “send me your son david, who is with the
00:09:29.382 --> 00:09:30.716
David, who is with the sheep.” imagine how jesse
00:09:30.783 --> 00:09:33.486
Sheep.” imagine how jesse must have felt. first this
00:09:33.552 --> 00:09:35.388
Must have felt. first this prophet randomly showed up
00:09:35.454 --> 00:09:37.757
Prophet randomly showed up and chose the son he
00:09:37.823 --> 00:09:38.958
And chose the son he thought was the least
00:09:39.025 --> 00:09:39.825
Thought was the least likely.
00:09:39.892 --> 00:09:40.926
Likely. now the king is saying,
00:09:40.993 --> 00:09:42.595
Now the king is saying, “send me your son to the
00:09:42.662 --> 00:09:43.963
“send me your son to the palace.” god knows how to
00:09:44.030 --> 00:09:46.432
Palace.” god knows how to take you from the back to
00:09:46.499 --> 00:09:47.633
Take you from the back to the front.
00:09:47.700 --> 00:09:48.467
The front. he knows how to send people
00:09:48.534 --> 00:09:50.436
He knows how to send people who will use their
00:09:50.503 --> 00:09:51.270
Who will use their influence to honor you, to
00:09:51.337 --> 00:09:53.472
Influence to honor you, to give you new levels of
00:09:53.539 --> 00:09:54.507
Give you new levels of respect and credibility.
00:09:54.573 --> 00:09:56.275
Respect and credibility. a few months earlier, jesse
00:09:56.342 --> 00:09:58.878
A few months earlier, jesse didn't think enough of
00:09:58.944 --> 00:09:59.779
Didn't think enough of david to even bring him in

00:20:01.913 --> 00:20:02.514
Other. it looked like it was over.
00:20:02.581 --> 00:20:04.283
It looked like it was over. she saw that we were coming
00:20:04.349 --> 00:20:05.517
She saw that we were coming to yankee stadium. she
00:20:05.584 --> 00:20:07.152
To yankee stadium. she reached out to her husband
00:20:07.219 --> 00:20:08.687
Reached out to her husband and asked if he would come.
00:20:08.754 --> 00:20:10.689
And asked if he would come. against all odds he said
00:20:10.756 --> 00:20:12.457
Against all odds he said yes.
00:20:12.524 --> 00:20:13.592
Yes. they saw each other for the
00:20:13.659 --> 00:20:14.660
They saw each other for the first time in a year and
00:20:14.726 --> 00:20:16.194
First time in a year and sat together.
00:20:16.261 --> 00:20:17.462
Sat together. at the end, with tears
00:20:17.529 --> 00:20:19.164
At the end, with tears running down their cheeks,
00:20:19.231 --> 00:20:20.432
Running down their cheeks, they both stood up to
00:20:20.499 --> 00:20:21.800
They both stood up to recommit their life to
00:20:21.867 --> 00:20:22.901
Recommit their life to christ, for a new
00:20:22.968 --> 00:20:23.902
Christ, for a new beginning, for a fresh new
00:20:23.969 --> 00:20:25.570
Beginning, for a fresh new start. that night he went
00:20:25.637 --> 00:20:28.473
Start. that night he went back home with her and the
00:20:28.540 --> 00:20:29.675
Back home with her and the children.
00:20:29.741 --> 00:20:30.876
Children. now they're together as a
00:20:30.942 --> 00:20:32.044
Now they're together as a family.
00:20:32.110 --> 00:20:33.078
Family. she said, “i didn't think
00:20:33.145 --> 00:20:33.945
She said, “i didn't think this would ever happen.
00:20:34.012 --> 00:20:35.480
This would ever happen. we had been through so
00:20:35.547 --> 00:20:36.515
We had been through so much.” but god knows how to
00:20:36.581 --> 00:20:39.184
Much.” but god knows how to reverse things.
00:20:39.251 --> 00:20:40.952
Reverse things. what looks permanent, what
00:20:41.019 --> 00:20:42.554
What looks permanent, what seems unlikely, one touch
00:20:42.621 --> 00:20:44.423
Seems unlikely, one touch of god's favor and suddenly
00:20:44.489 --> 00:20:46.425
Of god's favor and suddenly things shift. suddenly your
00:20:46.491 --> 00:20:48.360
Things shift. suddenly your child turns around,
00:20:48.427 --> 00:20:49.728
Child turns around, suddenly your health
00:20:49.795 --> 00:20:50.595
Suddenly your health improves, suddenly your
00:20:50.662 --> 00:20:51.997
Improves, suddenly your dream comes to pass.
00:20:52.064 --> 00:20:54.166
Dream comes to pass. sometimes what's limiting
00:20:54.232 --> 00:20:55.834
Sometimes what's limiting us are negative things in
00:20:55.901 --> 00:20:58.070
Us are negative things in our family lines that keep
00:20:58.136 --> 00:21:00.005
Our family lines that keep getting passed down.
00:21:00.072 --> 00:21:01.640
Getting passed down. addictions, low
00:21:01.707 --> 00:21:02.874
Addictions, low self-esteem, divorce, lack,
00:21:02.941 --> 00:21:04.943
Self-esteem, divorce, lack, can't get ahead.
00:21:05.010 --> 00:21:06.378
Can't get ahead. we get used to it, think
00:21:06.445 --> 00:21:07.946
We get used to it, think it's just who we are.
00:21:08.013 --> 00:21:09.848
It's just who we are. but part of this reversal,
00:21:09.915 --> 00:21:11.717
But part of this reversal, is god is going to put an
00:21:11.783 --> 00:21:13.085
Is god is going to put an end to these negative
00:21:13.151 --> 00:21:14.686
End to these negative cycles that keep going from
00:21:14.753 --> 00:21:16.588
Cycles that keep going from generation to generation.
00:21:16.655 --> 00:21:18.523
Generation to generation. this is a new day.
00:21:18.590 --> 00:21:20.025
This is a new day. god is doing a new thing.
00:21:20.092 --> 00:21:22.327
God is doing a new thing. it may have been in your
00:21:22.394 --> 00:21:23.362
It may have been in your family for years but every
00:21:23.428 --> 00:21:25.464
Family for years but every force that's trying to stop
00:21:25.530 --> 00:21:26.998
Force that's trying to stop you is being broken.
00:21:27.065 --> 00:21:28.767
You is being broken. you're the one that's going
00:21:28.834 --> 00:21:30.068
You're the one that's going to see the reversal.
00:21:30.135 --> 00:21:31.770
To see the reversal. you're going to set new
00:21:31.837 --> 00:21:32.537
You're going to set new standards.
00:21:32.604 --> 00:21:33.505
Standards. you're going to step into
00:21:33.572 --> 00:21:34.339
You're going to step into new levels.
00:21:34.406 --> 00:21:35.340
New levels. you're going to go places
00:21:35.407 --> 00:21:37.008
You're going to go places no one in your family has
00:21:37.075 --> 00:21:38.744
No one in your family has ever gone.
00:21:38.810 --> 00:21:40.312
Ever gone. this is what happened with
00:21:40.379 --> 00:21:41.680
This is what happened with rahab in the scripture.
00:21:41.747 --> 00:21:43.548
Rahab in the scripture. she was a good woman that
00:21:43.615 --> 00:21:45.150
She was a good woman that got off course.
00:21:45.217 --> 00:21:46.618
Got off course. she came from a family that
00:21:46.685 --> 00:21:47.953
She came from a family that worshiped idols.
00:21:48.019 --> 00:21:49.554
Worshiped idols. they were very poor and
00:21:49.621 --> 00:21:51.089
They were very poor and they lived right inside the
00:21:51.156 --> 00:21:52.190
They lived right inside the walls of jericho.
00:21:52.257 --> 00:21:53.925
Walls of jericho. she ended up as a
00:21:53.992 --> 00:21:54.760
She ended up as a prostitute.
00:21:54.826 --> 00:21:56.161
Prostitute. she never dreamed she would
00:21:56.228 --> 00:21:57.195
She never dreamed she would live this kind of life.
00:21:57.262 --> 00:21:58.864
Live this kind of life. she didn't like who she was.
00:21:58.930 --> 00:22:00.832
She didn't like who she was. she knew she was made for
00:22:00.899 --> 00:22:02.000
She knew she was made for more, but it was like she
00:22:02.067 --> 00:22:03.368
More, but it was like she couldn't get out of this
00:22:03.435 --> 00:22:04.369
Couldn't get out of this negative cycle.
00:22:04.436 --> 00:22:06.037
Negative cycle. she had heard about the god
00:22:06.104 --> 00:22:07.272
She had heard about the god of israel, how he parted
00:22:07.339 --> 00:22:09.307
Of israel, how he parted the red sea and protected
00:22:09.374 --> 00:22:10.842
The red sea and protected the israelites.
00:22:10.909 --> 00:22:12.511
The israelites. i can imagine at night, she
00:22:12.577 --> 00:22:14.513
I can imagine at night, she looked up at the stars, and
00:22:14.579 --> 00:22:16.114
Looked up at the stars, and said, “god of abraham,
00:22:16.181 --> 00:22:17.315
Said, “god of abraham, isaac and jacob, if you're
00:22:17.382 --> 00:22:19.284
Isaac and jacob, if you're real, help me get out of
00:22:19.351 --> 00:22:20.886
Real, help me get out of this trouble, deliver me
00:22:20.952 --> 00:22:22.788
This trouble, deliver me from this dysfunction.” she
00:22:22.854 --> 00:22:24.756
From this dysfunction.” she wanted to change but it
00:22:24.823 --> 00:22:26.358
Wanted to change but it seemed impossible.
00:22:26.425 --> 00:22:28.226
Seemed impossible. one day, joshua sent two
00:22:28.293 --> 00:22:30.028
One day, joshua sent two men to spy out the city of
00:22:30.095 --> 00:22:31.630
Men to spy out the city of jericho.
00:22:31.696 --> 00:22:32.964
Jericho. word got out that they were
00:22:33.031 --> 00:22:34.065
Word got out that they were there.
00:22:34.132 --> 00:22:35.066
There. they knocked on rahab's
00:22:35.133 --> 00:22:36.368
They knocked on rahab's door looking for a place to
00:22:36.435 --> 00:22:37.969
Door looking for a place to hide.
00:22:38.036 --> 00:22:39.104
Hide. she could have called the
00:22:39.171 --> 00:22:39.938
She could have called the authorities, turned them
00:22:40.005 --> 00:22:41.306
In, but she sensed this was
00:22:41.473 --> 00:22:43.308
In, but she sensed this was a destiny moment.
00:22:43.375 --> 00:22:45.076
A destiny moment. she hid them and later
00:22:45.143 --> 00:22:46.678
She hid them and later helped them escape.
00:22:46.745 --> 00:22:48.380
Helped them escape. in return, the israelites
00:22:48.447 --> 00:22:50.282
In return, the israelites spared rahab and all of her
00:22:50.348 --> 00:22:52.250
Spared rahab and all of her family.
00:22:52.317 --> 00:22:53.585
Family. now rahab is listed as one
00:22:53.652 --> 00:22:55.620
Now rahab is listed as one of the heroes of faith.
00:22:55.687 --> 00:22:57.389
Of the heroes of faith. she's in the family line of
00:22:57.456 --> 00:22:58.924
She's in the family line of jesus christ.
00:22:58.990 --> 00:23:00.725
Jesus christ. out of all the places the
00:23:00.792 --> 00:23:02.561
Out of all the places the spies could have knocked,
00:23:02.627 --> 00:23:04.329
Spies could have knocked, somehow, they chose rahab's
00:23:04.396 --> 00:23:06.398
Somehow, they chose rahab's door.
00:23:06.465 --> 00:23:07.632
Door. god has not forgotten about
00:23:07.699 --> 00:23:09.401
God has not forgotten about you.
00:23:09.468 --> 00:23:10.035
You. you may have been pushed
00:23:10.101 --> 00:23:11.436
You may have been pushed down, left out, feel like
00:23:11.503 --> 00:23:13.472
Down, left out, feel like you're at the very back.
00:23:13.538 --> 00:23:14.739
You're at the very back. if rahab were here today,
00:23:14.806 --> 00:23:16.441
If rahab were here today, she would tell you, “stay
00:23:16.508 --> 00:23:18.009
She would tell you, “stay encouraged, god knows how
00:23:18.076 --> 00:23:19.911
Encouraged, god knows how to reverse things.” she
00:23:19.978 --> 00:23:21.746
To reverse things.” she went from being looked down
00:23:21.813 --> 00:23:22.948
Went from being looked down on, despised, not valuable.
00:23:23.014 --> 00:23:26.017
On, despised, not valuable. to being honored,
00:23:26.084 --> 00:23:27.352
To being honored, respected, influential.
00:23:27.419 --> 00:23:30.222
Respected, influential. maybe there's negative
00:23:30.288 --> 00:23:31.356
Maybe there's negative baggage in your past.
00:23:31.423 --> 00:23:32.557
Baggage in your past. things you've done you're
00:23:32.624 --> 00:23:34.159
Things you've done you're not proud of, dysfunction
00:23:34.226 --> 00:23:36.194
Not proud of, dysfunction in your family line that
00:23:36.261 --> 00:23:37.796
In your family line that keeps getting passed down.
00:23:37.863 --> 00:23:39.831
Keeps getting passed down. don't believe that lie that
00:23:39.898 --> 00:23:41.433
Don't believe that lie that it's always going to be
00:23:41.500 --> 00:23:42.567
It's always going to be that way.
00:23:42.634 --> 00:23:43.435
That way. a reversal is coming.
00:23:43.502 --> 00:23:45.437
A reversal is coming. god is about to reverse the
00:23:45.504 --> 00:23:46.905
God is about to reverse the dysfunction, reverse the
00:23:46.972 --> 00:23:48.740
Dysfunction, reverse the shame, reverse the
00:23:48.807 --> 00:23:50.075
Shame, reverse the compromise.
00:23:50.141 --> 00:23:51.610
Compromise. you wouldn't be hearing
00:23:51.676 --> 00:23:52.711
You wouldn't be hearing this if he wasn't about to
00:23:52.777 --> 00:23:54.346
This if he wasn't about to shift some things.
00:23:54.412 --> 00:23:56.114
Shift some things. i believe and declare, like
00:23:56.181 --> 00:23:57.883
I believe and declare, like with rahab, like with
00:23:57.949 --> 00:23:59.317
With rahab, like with david, god is going to take
00:23:59.384 --> 00:24:00.919
David, god is going to take you from the background to
00:24:00.986 --> 00:24:02.187
You from the background to the foreground, from being
00:24:02.254 --> 00:24:03.989
The foreground, from being overlooked to in charge, in
00:24:04.055 --> 00:24:06.024
Overlooked to in charge, in jesus' name.
00:24:06.091 --> 00:24:07.225
Jesus' name. and if you receive it , can you
00:24:07.292 --> 00:24:09.327
And if you receive it , can you “amen”.
00:24:09.394 --> 00:24:10.996
God's healing isn't earned,
00:24:12.697 --> 00:24:14.499
God's healing isn't earned, it's received,
00:24:14.566 --> 00:24:15.600
It's received, and you can discover
00:24:15.667 --> 00:24:16.801
And you can discover how in the next 31 days.
00:24:16.868 --> 00:24:19.471
How in the next 31 days. life has a way of
00:24:19.538 --> 00:24:20.505
Life has a way of wearing us down
00:24:20.572 --> 00:24:21.640
Wearing us down physically, mentally,
00:24:21.706 --> 00:24:23.108
Physically, mentally, emotionally.
00:24:23.174 --> 00:24:24.376
Emotionally. but god didn't create us
00:24:24.442 --> 00:24:25.644
But god didn't create us to just survive, but to thrive.
00:24:25.710 --> 00:24:28.113
To just survive, but to thrive. i'm excited about
