But i like to start with something funny, and i heard
00:00:24.214 --> 00:00:25.882
Something funny, and i heard about this elderly couple
00:00:25.949 --> 00:00:27.317
About this elderly couple that had been married for
00:00:27.383 --> 00:00:28.351
That had been married for over 60 years, and they were
00:00:28.418 --> 00:00:30.453
Over 60 years, and they were at a church function, and
00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:31.921
At a church function, and somebody asked them the
00:00:31.988 --> 00:00:32.956
Somebody asked them the secret of their success.
00:00:33.022 --> 00:00:34.757
Secret of their success. the man told how he always
00:00:34.824 --> 00:00:36.292
The man told how he always treated his wife with
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:37.560
Treated his wife with respect, and how he took her
00:00:37.627 --> 00:00:39.529
Respect, and how he took her on trips around the world.
00:00:39.596 --> 00:00:41.364
On trips around the world. he said, "in fact, for our
00:00:41.431 --> 00:00:42.599
He said, "in fact, for our 25th wedding anniversary, i
00:00:42.665 --> 00:00:44.634
25th wedding anniversary, i took her to beijing, china."
00:00:44.701 --> 00:00:47.203
Took her to beijing, china." everybody politely applauds,
00:00:47.270 --> 00:00:48.872
Everybody politely applauds, and then somebody asked,
00:00:48.938 --> 00:00:50.573
And then somebody asked, "what'd you do for your 50th
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:51.875
"what'd you do for your 50th wedding anniversary?"
00:00:51.941 --> 00:00:53.576
Wedding anniversary?" he said, "i went back and
00:00:53.643 --> 00:00:54.777
He said, "i went back and picked her up."
00:00:54.844 --> 00:00:57.914
Picked her up." say it like you mean it:
00:00:57.981 --> 00:00:58.715
Say it like you mean it: "this is my bible.
00:00:58.781 --> 00:01:01.084
"this is my bible. i am what it says i am.
00:01:01.151 --> 00:01:02.552
I am what it says i am. i have what it says i have.
00:01:02.619 --> 00:01:04.320
I have what it says i have. i can do what it says i can
00:01:04.387 --> 00:01:05.522
I can do what it says i can do.
00:01:05.588 --> 00:01:06.356
Do. today i will be taught the
00:01:06.422 --> 00:01:07.690
Today i will be taught the word of god.
00:01:07.757 --> 00:01:09.259
Word of god. i boldly confess my mind is
00:01:09.325 --> 00:01:11.294
I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive,
00:01:11.361 --> 00:01:13.630
Alert, my heart is receptive, i will never be the same, in
00:01:13.696 --> 00:01:15.632
I will never be the same, in jesus' name."
00:01:15.698 --> 00:01:17.000
Jesus' name." god bless you.
00:01:17.066 --> 00:01:19.736
God bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:19.802 --> 00:01:20.737
I want to talk to you today about "a surge is coming."
00:01:20.803 --> 00:01:23.506
About "a surge is coming." watching the news reports
00:01:23.573 --> 00:01:24.707
Watching the news reports about the recent hurricanes,
00:01:24.774 --> 00:01:27.076
About the recent hurricanes, even more than the high
00:01:27.143 --> 00:01:28.178
Even more than the high winds, the experts talked
00:01:28.244 --> 00:01:30.480
Winds, the experts talked about the storm surge.
00:01:30.547 --> 00:01:32.849
About the storm surge. they were very concerned
00:01:32.916 --> 00:01:34.083
They were very concerned about how the water was going
00:01:34.150 --> 00:01:36.286
About how the water was going to come rushing out of its
00:01:36.352 --> 00:01:37.787
To come rushing out of its banks and flood areas that
00:01:37.854 --> 00:01:39.722
Banks and flood areas that were normally dry, and what's
00:01:39.789 --> 00:01:42.258
Were normally dry, and what's interesting is before the
00:01:42.325 --> 00:01:43.993
Interesting is before the storm surge, the water is
00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:45.762
Storm surge, the water is pulled back.
00:01:45.828 --> 00:01:47.397
Pulled back. it doesn't just start from
00:01:47.463 --> 00:01:48.731
It doesn't just start from where it was and then go
00:01:48.798 --> 00:01:49.966
Where it was and then go forward.
00:01:50.033 --> 00:01:51.034
Forward. the winds and the pressure
00:01:51.100 --> 00:01:53.536
The winds and the pressure from the storm causes the
00:01:53.603 --> 00:01:54.637
From the storm causes the water to recede from its
00:01:54.704 --> 00:01:56.472
Water to recede from its banks.
00:01:56.539 --> 00:01:57.640
Banks. they showed a picture in
00:01:57.707 --> 00:01:58.808
They showed a picture in florida of hundreds of yards
00:01:58.875 --> 00:02:00.877
Florida of hundreds of yards of dry ground where there was
00:02:00.944 --> 00:02:03.379
Of dry ground where there was normally ocean.
00:02:03.446 --> 00:02:05.248
Normally ocean. it looked very strange.
00:02:05.315 --> 00:02:06.516
It looked very strange. you could see the lifeguard
00:02:06.583 --> 00:02:07.684
You could see the lifeguard stands, the docks, but the
00:02:07.750 --> 00:02:09.719
Stands, the docks, but the water was missing, and you
00:02:09.786 --> 00:02:11.554
Water was missing, and you could think, "the experts
00:02:11.621 --> 00:02:13.156
Could think, "the experts must have been wrong.
00:02:13.223 --> 00:02:15.124
Must have been wrong. the water didn't surge.
00:02:15.191 --> 00:02:16.726
The water didn't surge. it didn't increase, it
00:02:16.793 --> 00:02:17.961
It didn't increase, it decreased."
00:02:18.027 --> 00:02:19.295
Decreased." but at some point, just like
00:02:19.362 --> 00:02:21.331
But at some point, just like they predicted, the water
00:02:21.397 --> 00:02:23.199
They predicted, the water came rushing back with
00:02:23.266 --> 00:02:24.968
Came rushing back with incredible force, going where
00:02:25.034 --> 00:02:27.070
Incredible force, going where it had never gone, and in the
00:02:27.136 --> 00:02:29.005
It had never gone, and in the same way, god has a storm
00:02:29.072 --> 00:02:31.241
Same way, god has a storm surge, but it's a good thing.
00:02:31.307 --> 00:02:34.644
Surge, but it's a good thing. when you go through a storm,
00:02:34.711 --> 00:02:36.579
When you go through a storm, you feel like you're being
00:02:36.646 --> 00:02:38.147
You feel like you're being pulled back.
00:02:38.214 --> 00:02:39.415
Pulled back. you know what god promised,
00:02:39.482 --> 00:02:41.084
You know what god promised, that he would use it for your
00:02:41.150 --> 00:02:42.885
That he would use it for your good.
00:02:42.952 --> 00:02:43.786
Good. you know what's been
00:02:43.853 --> 00:02:44.787
You know what's been predicted, but in the storm,
00:02:44.854 --> 00:02:46.756
Predicted, but in the storm, you're going the wrong way.
00:02:46.823 --> 00:02:48.691
You're going the wrong way. you're being decreased.
00:02:48.758 --> 00:02:50.193
You're being decreased. it's not like what he said.
00:02:50.260 --> 00:02:51.628
It's not like what he said. but what you can't see is a
00:02:51.694 --> 00:02:54.564
But what you can't see is a surge is coming, a surge of
00:02:54.631 --> 00:02:57.800
Surge is coming, a surge of favor, a surge of strength,
00:02:57.867 --> 00:03:00.270
Favor, a surge of strength, a surge of healing.
00:03:00.336 --> 00:03:01.838
A surge of healing. if you will stay in faith,
00:03:01.904 --> 00:03:04.073
If you will stay in faith, god will always follow up the
00:03:04.140 --> 00:03:05.875
God will always follow up the storm with a surge.
00:03:05.942 --> 00:03:08.578
Storm with a surge. the enemy doesn't have the
00:03:08.645 --> 00:03:09.912
The enemy doesn't have the last word, god does, and that
00:03:09.979 --> 00:03:12.448
Last word, god does, and that difficulty is not going to
00:03:12.515 --> 00:03:14.350
Difficulty is not going to leave you pulled back.
00:03:14.417 --> 00:03:16.152
Leave you pulled back. it's not going to leave you
00:03:16.219 --> 00:03:17.654
It's not going to leave you less than.
00:03:17.720 --> 00:03:18.755
Less than. it's going to surge you
00:03:18.821 --> 00:03:20.089
It's going to surge you ahead.
00:03:20.156 --> 00:03:21.124
Ahead. that opposition is not going
00:03:21.190 --> 00:03:22.558
That opposition is not going to keep you from your
00:03:22.625 --> 00:03:24.127
To keep you from your destiny.
00:03:24.193 --> 00:03:25.161
Destiny. it's going to propel you into
00:03:25.228 --> 00:03:26.763
It's going to propel you into a new level of your destiny.
00:03:26.829 --> 00:03:29.098
A new level of your destiny. now, don't complain about
00:03:29.165 --> 00:03:30.400
Now, don't complain about the storm.
00:03:30.466 --> 00:03:31.567
The storm. without the storm, you
00:03:31.634 --> 00:03:33.403
Without the storm, you couldn't see the surge.
00:03:33.469 --> 00:03:35.405
Couldn't see the surge. you wouldn't see the new
00:03:35.471 --> 00:03:36.372
You wouldn't see the new level, the promotion,
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.675
Level, the promotion, the new house.
00:03:38.741 --> 00:03:39.642
The new house. the storm is setting you up
00:03:39.709 --> 00:03:41.911
The storm is setting you up to go where you have not
00:03:41.978 --> 00:03:43.680
To go where you have not gone, and when you have a big
00:03:43.746 --> 00:03:45.615
Gone, and when you have a big storm, that means a big surge
00:03:45.682 --> 00:03:48.651
Storm, that means a big surge is coming.
00:03:48.718 --> 00:03:49.752
Is coming. the stronger the winds, the
00:03:49.819 --> 00:03:51.754
The stronger the winds, the stronger the opposition,
00:03:51.821 --> 00:03:52.989
Stronger the opposition, the stronger the surge.
00:03:53.056 --> 00:03:54.791
The stronger the surge. the more you get pulled back,
00:03:54.857 --> 00:03:56.859
The more you get pulled back, the more you're going to be
00:03:56.926 --> 00:03:57.960
The more you're going to be shot forward.
00:03:58.027 --> 00:03:59.028
Shot forward. the more people try to push
00:03:59.095 --> 00:04:00.530
The more people try to push you down, the higher you're
00:04:00.596 --> 00:04:01.931
You down, the higher you're going to go.
00:04:01.998 --> 00:04:03.099
Going to go. the key is, stay in faith
00:04:03.166 --> 00:04:05.968
The key is, stay in faith when you're being pulled
00:04:06.035 --> 00:04:07.203
When you're being pulled back.
00:04:07.270 --> 00:04:08.071
Back. keep a good attitude when
00:04:08.137 --> 00:04:09.939
Keep a good attitude when you're doing the right thing
00:04:10.006 --> 00:04:11.441
You're doing the right thing but the wrong thing is
00:04:11.507 --> 00:04:12.675
But the wrong thing is happening.
00:04:12.742 --> 00:04:13.643
Happening. every voice will tell you,
00:04:13.710 --> 00:04:15.445
Every voice will tell you, "it's never going to improve.
00:04:15.511 --> 00:04:17.480
"it's never going to improve. you're stuck, just accept it.
00:04:17.547 --> 00:04:19.682
You're stuck, just accept it. you'll never get well.
00:04:19.749 --> 00:04:20.883
You'll never get well. you'll never meet
00:04:20.950 --> 00:04:21.484
You'll never meet the right person."
00:04:21.551 --> 00:04:22.852
The right person." the circumstances may look
00:04:22.919 --> 00:04:25.254
The circumstances may look permanent.
00:04:25.321 --> 00:04:26.356
Permanent. don't be fooled,
00:04:26.422 --> 00:04:27.156
Don't be fooled, a surge is coming.
00:04:27.223 --> 00:04:29.726
A surge is coming. something is happening that
00:04:29.792 --> 00:04:31.728
Something is happening that you can't see.
00:04:31.794 --> 00:04:33.563
You can't see. the winds that are trying to
00:04:33.629 --> 00:04:34.731
The winds that are trying to stop you, the forces that are
00:04:34.797 --> 00:04:37.066
Stop you, the forces that are so strongly against you, all
00:04:37.133 --> 00:04:40.002
So strongly against you, all you can see is how it's
00:04:40.069 --> 00:04:41.404
You can see is how it's pushing you back, how it's
00:04:41.471 --> 00:04:43.005
Pushing you back, how it's limiting you, how it's
00:04:43.072 --> 00:04:44.574
Limiting you, how it's causing you to heartache.
00:04:44.640 --> 00:04:46.109
Causing you to heartache. what you can't see is those
00:04:46.175 --> 00:04:47.810
What you can't see is those same winds, the same
00:04:47.877 --> 00:04:49.712
Same winds, the same opposition is creating the
00:04:49.779 --> 00:04:52.081
Opposition is creating the conditions for a surge.
00:04:52.148 --> 00:04:55.017
Conditions for a surge. what was meant for harm god
00:04:55.084 --> 00:04:57.387
What was meant for harm god is turning for good.
00:04:57.453 --> 00:04:59.789
Is turning for good. it's just a matter of time
00:04:59.856 --> 00:05:01.124
It's just a matter of time before you see a surge of
00:05:01.190 --> 00:05:03.059
Before you see a surge of god's favor.
00:05:03.126 --> 00:05:04.727
God's favor. as much as you were pulled
00:05:04.794 --> 00:05:06.696
As much as you were pulled back, it's going to propel
00:05:06.763 --> 00:05:08.297
Back, it's going to propel you that much more ahead.
00:05:08.364 --> 00:05:10.666
You that much more ahead. you're not going to just come
00:05:10.733 --> 00:05:12.068
You're not going to just come out to where you were.
00:05:12.135 --> 00:05:13.603
Out to where you were. that wouldn't be a surge.
00:05:13.669 --> 00:05:15.204
That wouldn't be a surge. that would be normal.
00:05:15.271 --> 00:05:16.806
That would be normal. the water returned, no big
00:05:16.873 --> 00:05:18.307
The water returned, no big deal.
00:05:18.374 --> 00:05:19.409
Deal. god always makes the enemy
00:05:19.475 --> 00:05:21.244
God always makes the enemy pay for bringing the trouble.
00:05:21.310 --> 00:05:23.813
Pay for bringing the trouble. god never brings you
00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:25.314
God never brings you out the same.
00:05:25.381 --> 00:05:26.115
Out the same. god's idea of restoring is to
00:05:26.182 --> 00:05:29.318
God's idea of restoring is to bring you out increased,
00:05:29.385 --> 00:05:31.187
Bring you out increased, promoted, healthier, better

Relationships, and you may be in a difficult time.

In a difficult time. you feel like you're being
00:05:37.693 --> 00:05:38.561
You feel like you're being pulled back.
00:05:38.628 --> 00:05:40.129
Pulled back. this is not the time to get
00:05:40.196 --> 00:05:41.764
This is not the time to get discouraged, "i don't
00:05:41.831 --> 00:05:42.932
Discouraged, "i don't understand it.
00:05:42.999 --> 00:05:43.966
Understand it. why did this happen?"
00:05:44.033 --> 00:05:44.934
Why did this happen?" no, the right attitude is,
00:05:45.001 --> 00:05:46.836
No, the right attitude is, "i'm coming back stronger.
00:05:46.903 --> 00:05:49.005
"i'm coming back stronger. father, thank you that a

Surge is on the way. thank you that you're

Thank you that you're propelling me to a new

Propelling me to a new level."

Level." on my computer at home, i
00:05:54.243 --> 00:05:56.078
On my computer at home, i have a surge protector so if

Power, it won't damage my computer, and this is helpful

Computer, and this is helpful for equipment, but too many

For equipment, but too many people have a surge protector
00:06:05.755 --> 00:06:07.857
People have a surge protector on their mind.

On their mind. their thinking is keeping

Them from seeing a surge of god's favor.

God's favor. "well, i'll never get over

"well, i'll never get over this sickness, joel.

This sickness, joel. i've had it so long."

Get rid of your surge protector.

Reasons it's not going to happen.
00:06:32.348 --> 00:06:33.216
Happen. the storm may be powerful,
00:06:33.282 --> 00:06:35.284
The storm may be powerful, but our god is all powerful.
00:06:35.351 --> 00:06:37.987
But our god is all powerful. if you will take the limits
00:06:38.054 --> 00:06:40.256
If you will take the limits off of him, start believing
00:06:40.323 --> 00:06:42.191
Off of him, start believing for increase, talking like
00:06:42.258 --> 00:06:44.160
For increase, talking like it's going to happen,
00:06:44.227 --> 00:06:45.495
It's going to happen, thanking him that it's on the

Thanking him that it's on the way, that's your faith being

Way, that's your faith being released.
00:06:48.898 --> 00:06:49.966
Released. that's what allows god to
00:06:50.032 --> 00:06:51.067
That's what allows god to show you a surge of his
00:06:51.133 --> 00:06:53.402
Show you a surge of his goodness.
00:06:53.469 --> 00:06:54.737
Goodness. the scripture says, "god is a
00:06:54.804 --> 00:06:56.672
The scripture says, "god is a very present help in
00:06:56.739 --> 00:06:58.307
Very present help in trouble," and we know that
00:06:58.374 --> 00:07:00.443
Trouble," and we know that god is always with us, but
00:07:00.510 --> 00:07:02.578
God is always with us, but this infers in times of
00:07:02.645 --> 00:07:04.514
This infers in times of difficulty, god is very
00:07:04.580 --> 00:07:06.449
Difficulty, god is very present, and you will never
00:07:06.516 --> 00:07:08.885
Present, and you will never see the fullness of who god
00:07:08.951 --> 00:07:11.087
See the fullness of who god is if you're in the light all
00:07:11.153 --> 00:07:12.855
Is if you're in the light all the time.
00:07:12.922 --> 00:07:14.557
The time. it's in the darkness god is
00:07:14.624 --> 00:07:16.893
It's in the darkness god is most present.
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:18.160
Most present. in the difficulties, in the
00:07:18.227 --> 00:07:19.695
In the difficulties, in the storms, you may not see what
00:07:19.762 --> 00:07:21.797
Storms, you may not see what he's doing, may not feel like
00:07:21.864 --> 00:07:23.799
He's doing, may not feel like he's there.
00:07:23.866 --> 00:07:25.001
He's there. this is what faith is all
00:07:25.067 --> 00:07:26.836
This is what faith is all about.
00:07:26.903 --> 00:07:27.970
About. you have to say, "god, i
00:07:28.037 --> 00:07:29.005
You have to say, "god, i don't understand it.
00:07:29.071 --> 00:07:30.339
Don't understand it. i feel like i'm being pulled
00:07:30.406 --> 00:07:31.707
I feel like i'm being pulled back, but, god, i know you're
00:07:31.774 --> 00:07:33.843
Back, but, god, i know you're right here with me.

Right here with me. i believe you're fighting my

Battles. i believe you're bigger than

I believe you're bigger than this sickness.

This sickness. i believe a surge of your
00:07:40.316 --> 00:07:41.350
I believe a surge of your goodness is coming my way."
00:07:41.417 --> 00:07:44.153
Goodness is coming my way." the psalmist said, "when
00:07:44.220 --> 00:07:45.354
The psalmist said, "when darkness overtakes the
00:07:45.421 --> 00:07:47.056
Darkness overtakes the righteous, light will come
00:07:47.123 --> 00:07:48.925
Righteous, light will come bursting in."
00:07:48.991 --> 00:07:50.693
Bursting in." it's not going to happen
00:07:50.760 --> 00:07:51.827
It's not going to happen gradually.
00:07:51.894 --> 00:07:53.162
Gradually. when you've been overcome by
00:07:53.229 --> 00:07:54.363
When you've been overcome by darkness, by a negative
00:07:54.430 --> 00:07:56.499
Darkness, by a negative medical report, by people
00:07:56.566 --> 00:07:58.034
Medical report, by people trying to stop you, it's
00:07:58.100 --> 00:07:59.468
Trying to stop you, it's going to happen suddenly.
00:07:59.535 --> 00:08:01.737
Going to happen suddenly. suddenly, a surge of favor.
00:08:01.804 --> 00:08:04.006
Suddenly, a surge of favor. suddenly, a surge of healing.
00:08:04.073 --> 00:08:06.075
Suddenly, a surge of healing. you didn't see it coming.
00:08:06.142 --> 00:08:07.243
You didn't see it coming. one moment, you were
00:08:07.310 --> 00:08:08.811
One moment, you were struggling, trying to get
00:08:08.878 --> 00:08:10.379
Struggling, trying to get back on your feet, and
00:08:10.446 --> 00:08:11.681
Back on your feet, and suddenly, one contract, one
00:08:11.747 --> 00:08:14.350
Suddenly, one contract, one promotion, one good break,

Promotion, one good break, and you have more than
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:17.320
And you have more than enough.
00:08:17.386 --> 00:08:18.154
Enough. one moment, you were
00:08:18.220 --> 00:08:19.355
One moment, you were discouraged.
00:08:19.422 --> 00:08:20.356
Discouraged. you didn't see how it could
00:08:20.423 --> 00:08:21.324
You didn't see how it could work out, and suddenly, the
00:08:21.390 --> 00:08:22.925
Work out, and suddenly, the right people showed up.
00:08:22.992 --> 00:08:24.961
Right people showed up. suddenly, things changed in

Suddenly, things changed in your favor.
00:08:26.395 --> 00:08:27.563
Your favor. what happened?
00:08:27.630 --> 00:08:28.364
What happened? the light came bursting in.
00:08:28.431 --> 00:08:31.067
The light came bursting in. you may have a lot coming
00:08:31.133 --> 00:08:33.069
You may have a lot coming against you, forces trying to
00:08:33.135 --> 00:08:34.737
Against you, forces trying to stop you.
00:08:34.804 --> 00:08:35.605
Stop you. god is saying, "you've been
00:08:35.671 --> 00:08:37.573
God is saying, "you've been pulled back long enough.
00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:39.408
Pulled back long enough. it's time for your surge."
00:08:39.475 --> 00:08:41.644
It's time for your surge." god is about to propel you
00:08:41.711 --> 00:08:43.579
God is about to propel you into a new level.
00:08:43.646 --> 00:08:45.247
Into a new level. he's going to propel you out
00:08:45.314 --> 00:08:46.749
He's going to propel you out of sickness into good health,

Abundance, propel you out of injustice into honor,

Injustice into honor, influence, new opportunities.

Influence, new opportunities. get ready, the surge is
00:08:56.993 --> 00:08:58.761
Get ready, the surge is coming.
00:08:58.828 --> 00:09:00.630
Coming. in the scripture, job saw
00:09:00.696 --> 00:09:02.498
In the scripture, job saw this surge.
00:09:02.565 --> 00:09:03.599
This surge. everything was going great,
00:09:03.666 --> 00:09:05.134
Everything was going great, life was good, when the
00:09:05.201 --> 00:09:06.469
Life was good, when the bottom fell out.
00:09:06.535 --> 00:09:07.637
Bottom fell out. he faced a huge storm.
00:09:07.703 --> 00:09:09.572
He faced a huge storm. he lost his business, lost
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.240
He lost his business, lost his family, lost his health.
00:09:11.307 --> 00:09:13.843
His family, lost his health. he had boils all over his
00:09:13.909 --> 00:09:15.111
He had boils all over his body.
00:09:15.177 --> 00:09:16.646
Body. it was very painful, and
00:09:16.712 --> 00:09:18.080
It was very painful, and what's interesting is job was
00:09:18.147 --> 00:09:19.915
What's interesting is job was a good man.
00:09:19.982 --> 00:09:21.283
A good man. he honored god.
00:09:21.350 --> 00:09:22.451
He honored god. he lived a life of excellence
00:09:22.518 --> 00:09:23.519
He lived a life of excellence and integrity.
00:09:23.586 --> 00:09:25.121
And integrity. i wish i could tell you if
00:09:25.187 --> 00:09:26.589
I wish i could tell you if you did all the right things,
00:09:26.656 --> 00:09:28.791
You did all the right things, you wouldn't have any storms,
00:09:28.858 --> 00:09:30.793
But that's not the truth.
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.361
But that's not the truth. storms come to every person.
00:09:32.428 --> 00:09:34.964
Storms come to every person. the good news is, for every
00:09:35.031 --> 00:09:36.766
The good news is, for every storm, god has a surge, and
00:09:36.832 --> 00:09:39.435
Storm, god has a surge, and we don't like the storms, but
00:09:39.502 --> 00:09:41.671
We don't like the storms, but god uses difficulties to push
00:09:41.737 --> 00:09:44.373
God uses difficulties to push us to a new level, and he
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.842
Us to a new level, and he won't let you go through
00:09:46.909 --> 00:09:48.277
Won't let you go through something that he can't bring
00:09:48.344 --> 00:09:50.112
Something that he can't bring good out of it, and the
00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:52.081
Good out of it, and the reason we don't see the good
00:09:52.148 --> 00:09:53.649
Reason we don't see the good all the time is we get
00:09:53.716 --> 00:09:55.117
All the time is we get negative, bitter, "god, i was
00:09:55.184 --> 00:09:57.386
Negative, bitter, "god, i was doing the right thing.
00:09:57.453 --> 00:09:58.754
Doing the right thing. why did i come down with this
00:09:58.821 --> 00:10:00.289
Why did i come down with this illness?
00:10:00.356 --> 00:10:01.524
Illness? why did my child get off
00:10:01.590 --> 00:10:02.358
Why did my child get off course?
00:10:02.425 --> 00:10:03.159
Course? why did these people turn on
00:10:03.225 --> 00:10:04.093
Why did these people turn on me?"
00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:04.894
Me?" we're never going to
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:05.961
We're never going to understand why.
00:10:06.028 --> 00:10:07.363
Understand why. god's ways are not our ways.
00:10:07.430 --> 00:10:09.965
God's ways are not our ways. but if you will stay in
00:10:10.032 --> 00:10:11.200
But if you will stay in faith,
00:10:11.267 --> 00:10:12.034
Faith, that storm is not going to
00:10:12.101 --> 00:10:13.636
That storm is not going to leave you pulled back.
00:10:13.703 --> 00:10:15.137
Leave you pulled back. it's going to propel you
00:10:15.204 --> 00:10:16.238
It's going to propel you ahead, and when job's wife
00:10:16.305 --> 00:10:19.208
Ahead, and when job's wife saw everything he was going
00:10:19.275 --> 00:10:20.876
Saw everything he was going through, how unfair it was,
00:10:20.943 --> 00:10:23.079
Through, how unfair it was, she said, "job, just curse
00:10:23.145 --> 00:10:25.481
She said, "job, just curse god and die."
00:10:25.548 --> 00:10:27.416
God and die." she was saying in effect,
00:10:27.483 --> 00:10:28.651
She was saying in effect, "job, you're a good man.
00:10:28.718 --> 00:10:29.885
"job, you're a good man. you've done the right thing,
00:10:29.952 --> 00:10:30.886
You've done the right thing, and this is what happens?"
00:10:30.953 --> 00:10:32.922
And this is what happens?" it's easy to make a judgment
00:10:32.988 --> 00:10:35.524
It's easy to make a judgment based on one season of your
00:10:35.591 --> 00:10:37.159
Based on one season of your life, because of one storm,
00:10:37.226 --> 00:10:39.762
Life, because of one storm, one divorce, one betrayal,
00:10:39.829 --> 00:10:42.431
One divorce, one betrayal, one bad break.
00:10:42.498 --> 00:10:43.766
One bad break. it's easy to lose our
00:10:43.833 --> 00:10:44.867
It's easy to lose our passion, give up on our
00:10:44.934 --> 00:10:46.569
Passion, give up on our dreams, live bitter.
00:10:46.635 --> 00:10:48.471
Dreams, live bitter. but what you're going through
00:10:48.537 --> 00:10:50.673
But what you're going through is not permanent.
00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:52.608
Is not permanent. it's just a season.
00:10:52.675 --> 00:10:54.243
It's just a season. weeping may endure for a
00:10:54.310 --> 00:10:56.278
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the
00:10:56.345 --> 00:10:58.280
Night, but joy comes in the morning.
00:10:58.347 --> 00:10:59.415
Morning. every person goes through
00:10:59.482 --> 00:11:01.817
Every person goes through night seasons, discouraging
00:11:01.884 --> 00:11:04.120
Night seasons, discouraging seasons, unfair seasons.
00:11:04.186 --> 00:11:06.522
Seasons, unfair seasons. if you were never pulled
00:11:06.589 --> 00:11:07.957
If you were never pulled back, you couldn't be shot
00:11:08.023 --> 00:11:09.325
Back, you couldn't be shot ahead.
00:11:09.391 --> 00:11:10.459
Ahead. you have to remind yourself,
00:11:10.526 --> 00:11:12.361
You have to remind yourself, "it's just a season.
00:11:12.428 --> 00:11:14.363
"it's just a season. it's not the rest of your
00:11:14.430 --> 00:11:15.698
It's not the rest of your life."
00:11:15.765 --> 00:11:16.766
Life." don't make a judgment based
00:11:16.832 --> 00:11:18.467
Don't make a judgment based on something that's
00:11:18.534 --> 00:11:20.202
On something that's temporary.
00:11:20.269 --> 00:11:21.203
Temporary. the storm may be difficult,
00:11:21.270 --> 00:11:22.972
The storm may be difficult, but the surge is coming.
00:11:23.038 --> 00:11:25.641
But the surge is coming. the new relationship, the new
00:11:25.708 --> 00:11:27.376
The new relationship, the new opportunities, the new
00:11:27.443 --> 00:11:28.477
Opportunities, the new beginnings.
00:11:28.544 --> 00:11:29.645
Beginnings. god wouldn't be pulling you
00:11:29.712 --> 00:11:31.413
God wouldn't be pulling you back if he wasn't about to
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:33.015
Back if he wasn't about to propel you forward, and in
00:11:33.082 --> 00:11:34.884
Propel you forward, and in one sense, job had a good
00:11:34.950 --> 00:11:37.219
One sense, job had a good reason to be negative,
00:11:37.286 --> 00:11:38.854
Reason to be negative, discouraged.
00:11:38.921 --> 00:11:39.922
Discouraged. nobody would have faulted
00:11:39.989 --> 00:11:41.157
Nobody would have faulted him.
00:11:41.223 --> 00:11:42.258
Him. but in chapter 10, job said:
00:11:42.324 --> 00:11:44.994
But in chapter 10, job said: "god, i know you have granted
00:11:45.060 --> 00:11:47.963
"god, i know you have granted me favor."
00:11:48.030 --> 00:11:48.931
Me favor." in the middle of the
00:11:48.998 --> 00:11:50.099
In the middle of the difficulty, he wasn't
00:11:50.166 --> 00:11:51.867
Difficulty, he wasn't complaining, he wasn't
00:11:51.934 --> 00:11:53.202
Complaining, he wasn't bitter.
00:11:53.269 --> 00:11:54.270
Bitter. he was saying, "i know favor
00:11:54.336 --> 00:11:56.071
He was saying, "i know favor is coming.
00:11:56.138 --> 00:11:57.406
Is coming. i may be pulled back now, but
00:11:57.473 --> 00:11:59.208
I may be pulled back now, but i know my surge is on
00:11:59.275 --> 00:12:00.676
I know my surge is on the way."
00:12:00.743 --> 00:12:01.644
The way." he didn't make a judgment
00:12:01.710 --> 00:12:03.679
He didn't make a judgment based on one storm.
00:12:03.746 --> 00:12:06.282
Based on one storm. he knew that was a chapter in
00:12:06.348 --> 00:12:08.317
He knew that was a chapter in his life, not the whole book.
00:12:08.384 --> 00:12:10.920
His life, not the whole book. the scripture talks about how
00:12:10.986 --> 00:12:12.688
The scripture talks about how god has written every day of
00:12:12.755 --> 00:12:14.657
God has written every day of our life in his book, and
00:12:14.723 --> 00:12:16.959
Our life in his book, and when we go through things we
00:12:17.026 --> 00:12:18.694
When we go through things we don't understand, things that
00:12:18.761 --> 00:12:20.629
Don't understand, things that are not fair, it's easy to
00:12:20.696 --> 00:12:22.531
Are not fair, it's easy to get stuck on that page and
00:12:22.598 --> 00:12:24.600
Get stuck on that page and think that's the way it's
00:12:24.667 --> 00:12:26.135
Think that's the way it's always going to be.
00:12:26.202 --> 00:12:27.269
Always going to be. but can i encourage you?
00:12:27.336 --> 00:12:29.004
But can i encourage you? that's just a chapter.
00:12:29.071 --> 00:12:31.173
That's just a chapter. that's not your whole book.
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.309
That's not your whole book. you have to turn the page.
00:12:33.375 --> 00:12:35.444
You have to turn the page. if you'll keep moving
00:12:35.511 --> 00:12:37.246
If you'll keep moving forward, being your best, in
00:12:37.313 --> 00:12:39.481
Forward, being your best, in spite of what didn't work
00:12:39.548 --> 00:12:40.282
Spite of what didn't work out, in spite of how unfair
00:12:40.349 --> 00:12:42.518
Out, in spite of how unfair it was, you will come to
00:12:42.585 --> 00:12:44.286
It was, you will come to another chapter, a chapter
00:12:44.353 --> 00:12:45.988
Another chapter, a chapter that has a surge already
00:12:46.055 --> 00:12:48.724
That has a surge already lined up, a sudden increase
00:12:48.791 --> 00:12:51.193
Lined up, a sudden increase of god's favor, a chapter
00:12:51.260 --> 00:12:53.229
Of god's favor, a chapter where the light comes
00:12:53.295 --> 00:12:54.697
Where the light comes bursting in, a chapter where
00:12:54.763 --> 00:12:57.166
Bursting in, a chapter where the god who is very present
00:12:57.233 --> 00:12:59.802
The god who is very present help in trouble doesn't just
00:12:59.869 --> 00:13:01.737
Help in trouble doesn't just show up, but he shows out.
00:13:01.804 --> 00:13:03.839
Show up, but he shows out. he does more than you can
00:13:03.906 --> 00:13:04.840
He does more than you can imagine.
00:13:04.907 --> 00:13:05.708
Imagine. one day, you'll look back and
00:13:05.774 --> 00:13:08.244
One day, you'll look back and say, "god, i didn't like it.
00:13:08.310 --> 00:13:09.912
Say, "god, i didn't like it. the storm was difficult, but
00:13:09.979 --> 00:13:12.114
The storm was difficult, but without the storm, i wouldn't
00:13:12.181 --> 00:13:14.350
Without the storm, i wouldn't have seen the surge.
00:13:14.416 --> 00:13:16.485
Have seen the surge. i wouldn't have seen the new
00:13:16.552 --> 00:13:17.486
I wouldn't have seen the new beginning, the new levels,
00:13:17.553 --> 00:13:19.655
Beginning, the new levels, the new relationships," and
00:13:19.722 --> 00:13:20.956
The new relationships," and god didn't just bring job
00:13:21.023 --> 00:13:22.925
God didn't just bring job out.
00:13:22.992 --> 00:13:24.059
Out. he made the enemy pay.
00:13:24.126 --> 00:13:25.728
He made the enemy pay. job came out with twice what
00:13:25.794 --> 00:13:27.730
Job came out with twice what he had before the opposition.
00:13:27.796 --> 00:13:30.366
He had before the opposition. he had twice the cattle,
00:13:30.432 --> 00:13:32.001
He had twice the cattle, twice the sheep, twice the
00:13:32.067 --> 00:13:33.369
Twice the sheep, twice the joy, twice the strength.
00:13:33.435 --> 00:13:35.838
Joy, twice the strength. he got his health back.
00:13:35.905 --> 00:13:37.439
He got his health back. the scripture says, "after
00:13:37.506 --> 00:13:39.074
The scripture says, "after this, job lived 140 years and
00:13:39.141 --> 00:13:43.245
This, job lived 140 years and enjoyed his
00:13:43.312 --> 00:13:44.480
Enjoyed his great-great-grandchildren."
00:13:44.546 --> 00:13:46.682
Great-great-grandchildren." notice, after the storm, he
00:13:46.749 --> 00:13:48.417
Notice, after the storm, he came out with double, and he
00:13:48.484 --> 00:13:50.653
Came out with double, and he went on to live a long,
00:13:50.719 --> 00:13:52.054
Went on to live a long, healthy, faith-filled life.
00:13:52.121 --> 00:13:54.456
Healthy, faith-filled life. but when we think of job,
00:13:54.523 --> 00:13:56.725
But when we think of job, many times, we think, "he got
00:13:56.792 --> 00:13:59.295
Many times, we think, "he got a bad book.
00:13:59.361 --> 00:14:00.629
A bad book. he got a raw deal.
00:14:00.696 --> 00:14:02.164
He got a raw deal. he had to endure all that
00:14:02.231 --> 00:14:03.232
He had to endure all that suffering."
00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:04.233
Suffering." the truth is, it wasn't his
00:14:04.300 --> 00:14:06.635
The truth is, it wasn't his whole life.
00:14:06.702 --> 00:14:07.937
Whole life. commentaries say it was a
00:14:08.003 --> 00:14:10.005
Commentaries say it was a 9-month period.
00:14:10.072 --> 00:14:11.640
9-month period. we hear all about the
00:14:11.707 --> 00:14:13.208
We hear all about the suffering of job.
00:14:13.275 --> 00:14:14.677
Suffering of job. it was less than a year.
00:14:14.743 --> 00:14:16.512
It was less than a year. it was a season.
00:14:16.578 --> 00:14:17.613
It was a season. are you judging the rest of
00:14:17.680 --> 00:14:19.281
Are you judging the rest of your life by a storm that
00:14:19.348 --> 00:14:21.650
Your life by a storm that you're in now?
00:14:21.717 --> 00:14:22.918
You're in now? have a new perspective: "this
00:14:22.985 --> 00:14:24.753
Have a new perspective: "this too shall pass."
00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:26.722
Too shall pass." god is still on the throne,
00:14:26.789 --> 00:14:28.190
God is still on the throne, and when you come out, you're
00:14:28.257 --> 00:14:29.525
And when you come out, you're not gonna come out the same.
00:14:29.591 --> 00:14:31.160
Not gonna come out the same. dare to believe, like job,
00:14:31.226 --> 00:14:34.363
Dare to believe, like job, you're going to come out with
00:14:34.430 --> 00:14:35.698
You're going to come out with double, double the joy,
00:14:35.764 --> 00:14:38.200
Double, double the joy, double the strength,
00:14:38.267 --> 00:14:39.201
Double the strength, double the peace,
00:14:39.268 --> 00:14:40.336
Double the peace, double the resources,
00:14:40.402 --> 00:14:41.603
Double the resources, double the influence.
00:14:41.670 --> 00:14:43.038
Double the influence. zechariah said, "if you'll be
00:14:43.105 --> 00:14:45.441
Zechariah said, "if you'll be a prisoner of hope, god will
00:14:45.507 --> 00:14:47.376
A prisoner of hope, god will restore double back to you."
00:14:47.443 --> 00:14:50.112
Restore double back to you." that's talking about the
00:14:50.179 --> 00:14:50.813
That's talking about the surge, coming out of the
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.448
Surge, coming out of the storm, increase to a new
00:14:52.514 --> 00:14:54.483
Storm, increase to a new level.
00:14:54.550 --> 00:14:55.517
Level. but here's a key.
00:14:55.584 --> 00:14:57.086
But here's a key. job said in chapter 10: "i
00:14:57.152 --> 00:14:59.722
Job said in chapter 10: "i know god's granted me favor."
00:14:59.788 --> 00:15:01.724
Know god's granted me favor." but he didn't see things turn
00:15:01.790 --> 00:15:03.092
But he didn't see things turn around until chapter 42.
00:15:03.158 --> 00:15:06.362
Around until chapter 42. it would have been easy to
00:15:06.428 --> 00:15:07.830
It would have been easy to say he had favor after he
00:15:07.896 --> 00:15:09.565
Say he had favor after he received double, after his
00:15:09.631 --> 00:15:12.067
Received double, after his health was restored, but in
00:15:12.134 --> 00:15:14.269
Health was restored, but in the middle of the storm, when
00:15:14.336 --> 00:15:16.338
The middle of the storm, when he could have been
00:15:16.405 --> 00:15:17.206
He could have been complaining, job was
00:15:17.272 --> 00:15:18.774
Complaining, job was declaring the favor of god.
00:15:18.841 --> 00:15:21.477
Declaring the favor of god. what you're saying in the
00:15:21.543 --> 00:15:23.412
What you're saying in the storm will determine whether
00:15:23.479 --> 00:15:25.681
Storm will determine whether you come out of the storm.
00:15:25.748 --> 00:15:28.050
You come out of the storm. if you're talking about how
00:15:28.117 --> 00:15:29.685
If you're talking about how bad life is treating you,
00:15:29.752 --> 00:15:31.086
Bad life is treating you, how, "i can't believe this
00:15:31.153 --> 00:15:32.321
How, "i can't believe this happened," you are delaying
00:15:32.388 --> 00:15:34.123
Happened," you are delaying your surge.
00:15:34.189 --> 00:15:35.891
Your surge. your words can limit your
00:15:35.958 --> 00:15:37.526
Your words can limit your life, or they can increase
00:15:37.593 --> 00:15:39.194
Life, or they can increase your life.
00:15:39.261 --> 00:15:40.362
Your life. they can curse your future,
00:15:40.429 --> 00:15:42.131
They can curse your future, or they can bless your
00:15:42.197 --> 00:15:43.032
Or they can bless your future.
00:15:43.098 --> 00:15:44.466
Future. don't talk about how big the
00:15:44.533 --> 00:15:45.801
Don't talk about how big the problem is, talk about how
00:15:45.868 --> 00:15:47.636
Problem is, talk about how big your god is.
00:15:47.703 --> 00:15:49.171
Big your god is. do like job, in the middle of
00:15:49.238 --> 00:15:51.407
Do like job, in the middle of the difficulty, "lord, thank
00:15:51.473 --> 00:15:53.642
The difficulty, "lord, thank you that favor is coming.
00:15:53.709 --> 00:15:55.110
You that favor is coming. thank you that health is on
00:15:55.177 --> 00:15:56.278
Thank you that health is on the way.
00:15:56.345 --> 00:15:57.312
The way. thank you that abundance,
00:15:57.379 --> 00:15:58.347
Thank you that abundance, promotion, vindication is in
00:15:58.414 --> 00:16:00.315
Promotion, vindication is in my future.
00:16:00.382 --> 00:16:01.316
My future. in sickness, you need to talk
00:16:01.383 --> 00:16:03.685
In sickness, you need to talk about health.
00:16:03.752 --> 00:16:05.154
About health. in weakness, talk about
00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:06.522
In weakness, talk about strength.
00:16:06.588 --> 00:16:07.523
Strength. in lack, talk about
00:16:07.589 --> 00:16:08.924
In lack, talk about abundance.
00:16:08.991 --> 00:16:09.925
Abundance. if you have a poor mouth,
00:16:09.992 --> 00:16:12.127
If you have a poor mouth, you're going to have a poor
00:16:12.194 --> 00:16:13.195
You're going to have a poor life.
00:16:13.262 --> 00:16:14.229
Life. if you have a defeated mouth,
00:16:14.296 --> 00:16:16.598
If you have a defeated mouth, you're going to live a
00:16:16.665 --> 00:16:17.366
You're going to live a defeated, mediocre life.
00:16:17.433 --> 00:16:19.468
Defeated, mediocre life. but if you'll have a
00:16:19.535 --> 00:16:20.335
But if you'll have a victorious mouth, a

Will live a blessed, abundant, faith-filled life.

Abundant, faith-filled life. in the middle of the storm,

In the middle of the storm, dare to declare, "i am

Dare to declare, "i am blessed.

Blessed. i am healthy.
00:16:33.615 --> 00:16:34.883
I am healthy. i am strong.
00:16:34.950 --> 00:16:36.051
I am strong. i am an overcomer.
00:16:36.118 --> 00:16:37.086
I am an overcomer. i am more than a conqueror."
00:16:37.152 --> 00:16:39.088
I am more than a conqueror." you are prophesying your

Future. make sure what you're saying
00:16:41.623 --> 00:16:43.492
Make sure what you're saying is what you want.
00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:45.394
Is what you want. 1 samuel chapter 30, david
00:16:45.461 --> 00:16:47.296
1 samuel chapter 30, david was 30 years old.
00:16:47.362 --> 00:16:49.198
Was 30 years old. he was anointed to be king at
00:16:49.264 --> 00:16:50.799
He was anointed to be king at 17, but because saul was so
00:16:50.866 --> 00:16:54.036
17, but because saul was so jealous of him, for the last
00:16:54.103 --> 00:16:56.605
Jealous of him, for the last few years, he had been living
00:16:56.672 --> 00:16:58.440
Few years, he had been living in a city called ziklag, and
00:16:58.507 --> 00:17:01.443
In a city called ziklag, and one day, he and his 600 men
00:17:01.510 --> 00:17:03.779
One day, he and his 600 men were returning home from
00:17:03.846 --> 00:17:05.280
Were returning home from protecting the borders of
00:17:05.347 --> 00:17:06.949
Protecting the borders of israel.
00:17:07.015 --> 00:17:07.916
Israel. it was a 3-day journey.
00:17:07.983 --> 00:17:09.651
It was a 3-day journey. they were excited to see
00:17:09.718 --> 00:17:10.886
They were excited to see their children, their family
00:17:10.953 --> 00:17:12.721
Their children, their family again.
00:17:12.788 --> 00:17:13.956
Again. but when they got close to
00:17:14.022 --> 00:17:15.724
But when they got close to ziklag, they noticed smoke
00:17:15.791 --> 00:17:17.826
Ziklag, they noticed smoke billowing in the air.
00:17:17.893 --> 00:17:20.095
Billowing in the air. they were alarmed, thinking,
00:17:20.162 --> 00:17:21.563
They were alarmed, thinking, "that looks like it could be
00:17:21.630 --> 00:17:22.631
"that looks like it could be near our city."
00:17:22.698 --> 00:17:24.233
Near our city." as they got closer, their
00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:26.034
As they got closer, their alarm turned to panic.
00:17:26.101 --> 00:17:28.337
Alarm turned to panic. they could see their city was
00:17:28.403 --> 00:17:29.938
They could see their city was on fire.
00:17:30.005 --> 00:17:31.206
On fire. raiders had come in, burned
00:17:31.273 --> 00:17:33.375
Raiders had come in, burned down their houses, stolen
00:17:33.442 --> 00:17:35.377
Down their houses, stolen their possessions, kidnapped
00:17:35.444 --> 00:17:37.246
Their possessions, kidnapped their wives and children.
00:17:37.312 --> 00:17:39.681
Their wives and children. it was the greatest defeat
00:17:39.748 --> 00:17:41.316
It was the greatest defeat that david ever suffered.
00:17:41.383 --> 00:17:43.418
That david ever suffered. they were so distraught, the
00:17:43.485 --> 00:17:44.953
They were so distraught, the scripture says, "they wept
00:17:45.020 --> 00:17:46.688
Scripture says, "they wept until they could not weep
00:17:46.755 --> 00:17:48.857
Until they could not weep anymore," and when a storm
00:17:48.924 --> 00:17:51.527
Anymore," and when a storm hits, knocks the wind out of
00:17:51.593 --> 00:17:53.762
Hits, knocks the wind out of us, there's nothing wrong
00:17:53.829 --> 00:17:55.397
Us, there's nothing wrong with weeping.
00:17:55.464 --> 00:17:57.166
With weeping. when you weep, you're not
00:17:57.232 --> 00:17:58.800
When you weep, you're not weak, you're human.
00:17:58.867 --> 00:18:01.403
Weak, you're human. you don't have to be strong
00:18:01.470 --> 00:18:02.538
You don't have to be strong all the time.
00:18:02.604 --> 00:18:03.839
All the time. even jesus wept when he heard
00:18:03.906 --> 00:18:06.441
Even jesus wept when he heard his friend lazarus had died,
00:18:06.508 --> 00:18:08.844
His friend lazarus had died, and david was this skilled
00:18:08.911 --> 00:18:10.379
And david was this skilled warrior, strong, courageous,
00:18:10.445 --> 00:18:12.681
Warrior, strong, courageous, but when he saw all the
00:18:12.748 --> 00:18:14.149
But when he saw all the destruction, he was so
00:18:14.216 --> 00:18:15.884
Destruction, he was so overcome that he wept.
00:18:15.951 --> 00:18:18.053
Overcome that he wept. the scripture says that god
00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:20.556
The scripture says that god collects all of our tears.
00:18:20.622 --> 00:18:22.858
Collects all of our tears. he sees the heartache, the
00:18:22.925 --> 00:18:24.626
He sees the heartache, the hurts, the disappointments.
00:18:24.693 --> 00:18:27.429
Hurts, the disappointments. psalm 84 says: "he will take
00:18:27.496 --> 00:18:29.731
Psalm 84 says: "he will take those tears and turn them
00:18:29.798 --> 00:18:31.567
Those tears and turn them into pools of refreshing to
00:18:31.633 --> 00:18:34.403
Into pools of refreshing to refresh you," and just when
00:18:34.469 --> 00:18:36.071
Refresh you," and just when david didn't think it could
00:18:36.138 --> 00:18:38.173
David didn't think it could get any worse, his men were
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:40.442
Get any worse, his men were so upset they talked about
00:18:40.509 --> 00:18:42.110
So upset they talked about stoning him.
00:18:42.177 --> 00:18:43.712
Stoning him. this could have been the end
00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:45.080
This could have been the end of david's story.
00:18:45.147 --> 00:18:46.882
Of david's story. he could have become bitter
00:18:46.949 --> 00:18:48.050
He could have become bitter and faded off into the
00:18:48.116 --> 00:18:49.318
And faded off into the sunset, but david understood
00:18:49.384 --> 00:18:52.187
Sunset, but david understood this principle.
00:18:52.254 --> 00:18:53.522
This principle. he knew the same god that
00:18:53.589 --> 00:18:54.957
He knew the same god that allowed the storm had a surge
00:18:55.023 --> 00:18:57.526
Allowed the storm had a surge already lined up.
00:18:57.593 --> 00:18:59.928
Already lined up. he knew the setback was a
00:18:59.995 --> 00:19:01.830
He knew the setback was a setup for god to take him
00:19:01.897 --> 00:19:04.099
Setup for god to take him where he had never been.
00:19:04.166 --> 00:19:06.401
Where he had never been. david didn't have anybody to
00:19:06.468 --> 00:19:08.170
David didn't have anybody to encourage him.
00:19:08.237 --> 00:19:09.738
Encourage him. he couldn't turn on the
00:19:09.805 --> 00:19:11.139
He couldn't turn on the television, couldn't listen
00:19:11.206 --> 00:19:12.708
Television, couldn't listen to a podcast, couldn't find
00:19:12.774 --> 00:19:14.710
To a podcast, couldn't find the nearest church, temple.
00:19:14.776 --> 00:19:16.445
The nearest church, temple. everybody around him was
00:19:16.511 --> 00:19:18.513
Everybody around him was complaining, negative.
00:19:18.580 --> 00:19:20.349
Complaining, negative. when he looked at the
00:19:20.415 --> 00:19:21.683
When he looked at the circumstances, smoke, ashes,
00:19:21.750 --> 00:19:24.286
Circumstances, smoke, ashes, ruins, that was depressing.
00:19:24.353 --> 00:19:26.154
Ruins, that was depressing. what did david do?
00:19:26.221 --> 00:19:28.056
What did david do? the scripture says, "he
00:19:28.123 --> 00:19:29.591
The scripture says, "he encouraged himself in the
00:19:29.658 --> 00:19:31.994
Encouraged himself in the lord his god."
00:19:32.060 --> 00:19:33.695
Lord his god." there will be times you can't
00:19:33.762 --> 00:19:36.231
There will be times you can't find a friend to cheer you
00:19:36.298 --> 00:19:37.766
Find a friend to cheer you up.
00:19:37.833 --> 00:19:39.001
Up. your spouse is in a bad mood.
00:19:39.067 --> 00:19:40.802
Your spouse is in a bad mood. lakewood is closed because of
00:19:40.869 --> 00:19:42.671
Lakewood is closed because of hurricane harvey.
00:19:42.738 --> 00:19:44.373
Hurricane harvey. you're going to have to do
00:19:44.439 --> 00:19:45.440
You're going to have to do what david did and encourage
00:19:45.507 --> 00:19:47.242
What david did and encourage yourself in the lord your
00:19:47.309 --> 00:19:49.511
Yourself in the lord your god.
00:19:49.578 --> 00:19:51.847
God. "god, i know you're still on
00:19:51.913 --> 00:19:53.515
"god, i know you're still on the throne.
00:19:53.582 --> 00:19:55.083
The throne. you haven't brought me this
00:19:55.150 --> 00:19:56.318
You haven't brought me this far to leave me.
00:19:56.385 --> 00:19:57.853
Far to leave me. god, you've done it in the
00:19:57.919 --> 00:19:59.121
God, you've done it in the past.
00:19:59.187 --> 00:20:00.188
Past. i know you'll do it again."
00:20:00.255 --> 00:20:02.491
I know you'll do it again." david said, "oh, magnify
00:20:02.557 --> 00:20:04.493
David said, "oh, magnify the lord with me."
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:06.228
The lord with me." i don't know, maybe he wrote
00:20:06.295 --> 00:20:08.430
I don't know, maybe he wrote that sitting in the ruins of
00:20:08.497 --> 00:20:11.033
That sitting in the ruins of ziklag.
00:20:11.099 --> 00:20:12.034
Ziklag. maybe he was telling himself,
00:20:12.100 --> 00:20:14.336
Maybe he was telling himself, "i'm not going to magnify
00:20:14.403 --> 00:20:15.804
"i'm not going to magnify what i lost.
00:20:15.871 --> 00:20:17.039
What i lost. i'm not going to dwell on
00:20:17.105 --> 00:20:18.240
I'm not going to dwell on what was unfair.
00:20:18.307 --> 00:20:19.841
What was unfair. i'm not going to sit around
00:20:19.908 --> 00:20:21.009
I'm not going to sit around thinking about what didn't
00:20:21.076 --> 00:20:21.977
Thinking about what didn't work out.
00:20:22.044 --> 00:20:22.978
Work out. i'm going to magnify
00:20:23.045 --> 00:20:24.046
I'm going to magnify the lord.
00:20:24.112 --> 00:20:25.113
The lord. i'm going to make my god
00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:25.947
I'm going to make my god bigger.
00:20:26.014 --> 00:20:27.282
Bigger. i'm going to talk about his
00:20:27.349 --> 00:20:28.483
I'm going to talk about his greatness.
00:20:28.550 --> 00:20:29.685
Greatness. the bigger you make god, the
00:20:29.751 --> 00:20:32.254
The bigger you make god, the smaller your problems become,
00:20:32.321 --> 00:20:34.790
Smaller your problems become, and the more faith rises in
00:20:34.856 --> 00:20:36.158
And the more faith rises in your heart, and when the
00:20:36.224 --> 00:20:38.226
Your heart, and when the enemy hits you with his best
00:20:38.293 --> 00:20:39.628
Enemy hits you with his best shot, his best will never be
00:20:39.695 --> 00:20:41.563
Shot, his best will never be enough.
00:20:41.630 --> 00:20:42.764
Enough. he may knock you down, but he
00:20:42.831 --> 00:20:44.566
He may knock you down, but he can't knock you out.
00:20:44.633 --> 00:20:46.201
Can't knock you out. god has you in the palm of
00:20:46.268 --> 00:20:47.602
God has you in the palm of his hand.
00:20:47.669 --> 00:20:49.204
His hand. the scripture says, "a good
00:20:49.271 --> 00:20:51.373
The scripture says, "a good person may fall seven times,
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.842
Person may fall seven times, but the lord will raise them
00:20:53.909 --> 00:20:55.577
But the lord will raise them up, and you may be down, but
00:20:55.644 --> 00:20:57.813
Up, and you may be down, but get ready, the lord, the
00:20:57.879 --> 00:21:00.148
Get ready, the lord, the creator of the universe,
00:21:00.215 --> 00:21:01.750
Creator of the universe, the most high god, is
00:21:01.817 --> 00:21:03.218
The most high god, is going to raise you up.
00:21:03.285 --> 00:21:04.653
Going to raise you up. the storm may have been
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:06.788
The storm may have been unfair, but the surge is
00:21:06.855 --> 00:21:09.524
Unfair, but the surge is going to make up for it.
00:21:09.591 --> 00:21:11.159
Going to make up for it. where god is taking you is
00:21:11.226 --> 00:21:12.994
Where god is taking you is going to pay you back for
00:21:13.061 --> 00:21:14.796
Going to pay you back for what the enemy tried to do,
00:21:14.863 --> 00:21:17.099
What the enemy tried to do, and david got his fire back.
00:21:17.165 --> 00:21:19.468
And david got his fire back. he asked god if he should
00:21:19.534 --> 00:21:20.836
He asked god if he should attack the enemy.
00:21:20.902 --> 00:21:22.204
Attack the enemy. god said, "yes, pursue them,
00:21:22.270 --> 00:21:24.573
God said, "yes, pursue them, for you will surely overtake
00:21:24.639 --> 00:21:26.575
For you will surely overtake them and recover all."
00:21:26.641 --> 00:21:28.910
Them and recover all." you may have lost some
00:21:28.977 --> 00:21:30.212
You may have lost some things.
00:21:30.278 --> 00:21:31.246
Things. the storm, the betrayal, the
00:21:31.313 --> 00:21:33.148
The storm, the betrayal, the difficulty has set you back.
00:21:33.215 --> 00:21:35.450
Difficulty has set you back. god is saying to you what he
00:21:35.517 --> 00:21:37.452
God is saying to you what he said to david, "you're going
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:39.054
Said to david, "you're going to recover all.
00:21:39.121 --> 00:21:40.522
To recover all. you're not going to come out

You're not going to come out decreased.

Decreased. you're going to come out
00:21:42.724 --> 00:21:43.558
You're going to come out better."
00:21:43.625 --> 00:21:44.459
Better." david and his men attacked

David and his men attacked the enemy.
00:21:46.862 --> 00:21:47.996
The enemy. they defeated them.
00:21:48.063 --> 00:21:49.364
They defeated them. the scripture says, "david
00:21:49.431 --> 00:21:50.999
The scripture says, "david recovered all that the
00:21:51.066 --> 00:21:52.434
Recovered all that the amalekites had carried away,
00:21:52.501 --> 00:21:55.270
Amalekites had carried away, and david rescued his
00:21:55.337 --> 00:21:57.139
And david rescued his two wives."
00:21:57.205 --> 00:21:58.607
Two wives." notice, a double portion,
00:21:58.673 --> 00:22:00.509
Notice, a double portion, two wives.
00:22:00.575 --> 00:22:03.078
Two wives. that's old testament, men,
00:22:03.145 --> 00:22:04.079
That's old testament, men, don't even go there.
00:22:04.146 --> 00:22:06.281
Don't even go there. they not only got all their
00:22:06.348 --> 00:22:07.549
They not only got all their possessions back, they got
00:22:07.616 --> 00:22:09.451
Possessions back, they got their wives and children, but
00:22:09.518 --> 00:22:10.685
Their wives and children, but david took the flocks and
00:22:10.752 --> 00:22:12.487
David took the flocks and herds that belonged to
00:22:12.554 --> 00:22:13.989
Herds that belonged to the amalekites.
00:22:14.055 --> 00:22:15.157
The amalekites. they came out better.
00:22:15.223 --> 00:22:16.658
They came out better. that would be reason enough
00:22:16.725 --> 00:22:18.093
That would be reason enough to celebrate, but god likes
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:20.195
To celebrate, but god likes to do more than we can
00:22:20.262 --> 00:22:21.630
To do more than we can ask or think.
00:22:21.696 --> 00:22:22.831
Ask or think. the same day david and his
00:22:22.898 --> 00:22:24.866
The same day david and his men were recovering what was
00:22:24.933 --> 00:22:26.768
Men were recovering what was stolen, king saul was killed
00:22:26.835 --> 00:22:29.271
Stolen, king saul was killed in a battle, and that day,
00:22:29.337 --> 00:22:31.840
In a battle, and that day, david not only experienced
00:22:31.907 --> 00:22:33.275
David not only experienced one of his greatest victory,
00:22:33.341 --> 00:22:35.410
One of his greatest victory, but he was made king of
00:22:35.477 --> 00:22:36.711
But he was made king of israel.
00:22:36.778 --> 00:22:38.246
Israel. this all happened 72 hours
00:22:38.313 --> 00:22:40.882
This all happened 72 hours after david suffered his
00:22:40.949 --> 00:22:42.884
After david suffered his greatest attack.
00:22:42.951 --> 00:22:44.653
Greatest attack. the storm was devastating.
00:22:44.719 --> 00:22:46.655
The storm was devastating. it pulled them way back.
00:22:46.721 --> 00:22:48.657
It pulled them way back. that meant the surge was
00:22:48.723 --> 00:22:49.891
That meant the surge was going to be equally as strong
00:22:49.958 --> 00:22:52.160
Going to be equally as strong in the other direction.
00:22:52.227 --> 00:22:54.095
In the other direction. when you have a big storm,
00:22:54.162 --> 00:22:55.964
When you have a big storm, get ready for a big surge.
00:22:56.031 --> 00:22:58.366
Get ready for a big surge. it may look difficult.
00:22:58.433 --> 00:23:00.001
It may look difficult. you don't see how it could
00:23:00.068 --> 00:23:01.002
You don't see how it could work out.
00:23:01.069 --> 00:23:01.937
Work out. you don't know what god
00:23:02.003 --> 00:23:03.805
You don't know what god is up to.
00:23:03.872 --> 00:23:05.273
Is up to. like david, you may be
00:23:05.340 --> 00:23:06.842
Like david, you may be 72 hours from your
00:23:06.908 --> 00:23:08.610
72 hours from your greatest victory.
00:23:08.677 --> 00:23:10.011
Greatest victory. stir your faith up,
00:23:10.078 --> 00:23:11.613
Stir your faith up, encourage yourself.
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:13.215
Encourage yourself. a surge is coming, a surge of
00:23:13.281 --> 00:23:15.350
A surge is coming, a surge of favor, a surge of increase,
00:23:15.417 --> 00:23:17.486
Favor, a surge of increase, a surge of healing.
00:23:17.552 --> 00:23:18.487
A surge of healing. i believe and declare
00:23:18.553 --> 00:23:19.788
I believe and declare the light is about to
00:23:19.855 --> 00:23:21.690
The light is about to come bursting in.
00:23:21.756 --> 00:23:23.058
Come bursting in. like job, you're going to
00:23:23.124 --> 00:23:24.292
Like job, you're going to come out with double.
00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:25.360
Come out with double. like david, you're going to
00:23:25.427 --> 00:23:26.561
Like david, you're going to recover all.
00:23:26.628 --> 00:23:27.729
Recover all. that setback is setting you
00:23:27.796 --> 00:23:29.564
That setback is setting you up to surge into the fullness
00:23:29.631 --> 00:23:32.133
Up to surge into the fullness of your destiny,
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:33.335
Of your destiny, in jesus' name.
00:23:33.401 --> 00:23:34.803
In jesus' name. if you receive it,
00:23:34.870 --> 00:23:35.971
If you receive it, can you say, "amen"?
00:23:36.037 --> 00:23:39.574
Can you say, "amen"? i'd like to give you an
00:23:39.641 --> 00:23:40.575
I'd like to give you an opportunity to make jesus
00:23:40.642 --> 00:23:42.644
Opportunity to make jesus the lord of your life.

The lord of your life. would you pray with me?
00:23:44.446 --> 00:23:45.847
Would you pray with me? just say: "lord jesus,
00:23:45.914 --> 00:23:48.550
Just say: "lord jesus, i repent of my sins.
00:23:48.617 --> 00:23:51.286
I repent of my sins. come into my heart.
00:23:51.353 --> 00:23:53.522
Come into my heart. i make you my lord and
00:23:53.588 --> 00:23:54.990
I make you my lord and savior."
00:23:55.056 --> 00:23:56.658
Savior." we believe when you
00:23:56.725 --> 00:23:58.126
We believe when you prayed that prayer,
00:23:58.193 --> 00:23:59.361
Prayed that prayer, you got born again.
00:23:59.427 --> 00:24:01.162
You got born again. now, get in a good

Now, get in a good bible-based church, and
00:24:02.030 --> 00:24:03.999
Bible-based church, and keep god first place.

We all carry
00:24:10.405 --> 00:24:11.006
We all carry a mental picture
00:24:11.072 --> 00:24:12.040
A mental picture of what our life can be.
00:24:12.107 --> 00:24:14.075
Of what our life can be. is yours limited?
00:24:14.142 --> 00:24:15.510
Do you picture yourself stuck?
00:24:15.644 --> 00:24:17.579
Do you picture yourself stuck? inadequate? defeated?
00:24:17.646 --> 00:24:19.614
Inadequate? defeated? are you willing
00:24:19.681 --> 00:24:20.382
Are you willing to change your mindset
00:24:20.448 --> 00:24:21.683
