Feel right at home. i like to start with
00:00:23.947 --> 00:00:24.447
I like to start with something funny, and i heard
00:00:24.514 --> 00:00:26.416
About this man.
00:00:26.649 --> 00:00:27.617
About this man. he was at the airline ticket
00:00:27.684 --> 00:00:29.085
He was at the airline ticket counter, hollering and
00:00:29.152 --> 00:00:30.653
Counter, hollering and screaming at the agent,
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:32.522
Screaming at the agent, being so rude,
00:00:32.589 --> 00:00:34.124
Being so rude, and as he continued
00:00:34.190 --> 00:00:34.824
And as he continued to rant and rave,
00:00:34.891 --> 00:00:36.493
To rant and rave, the agent was just
00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:37.594
The agent was just as calm and polite
00:00:37.660 --> 00:00:39.195
As calm and polite as can be, acted like it
00:00:39.262 --> 00:00:40.864
As can be, acted like it didn't even bother her.
00:00:40.930 --> 00:00:42.632
Didn't even bother her. he left, the next man
00:00:42.699 --> 00:00:43.700
He left, the next man stepped up,
00:00:43.766 --> 00:00:44.767
Stepped up, said to the agent, "wow,
00:00:44.834 --> 00:00:46.703
Said to the agent, "wow, i am so impressed.
00:00:46.769 --> 00:00:48.304
I am so impressed. you must be a christian.
00:00:48.371 --> 00:00:50.006
You must be a christian. how could you possibly be
00:00:50.073 --> 00:00:51.374
How could you possibly be so kind to him?"
00:00:51.441 --> 00:00:53.143
So kind to him?" she smiled and said,
00:00:53.209 --> 00:00:54.043
She smiled and said, "oh, it's not hard.
00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:55.445
"oh, it's not hard. see, he's going to detroit,
00:00:55.512 --> 00:00:57.180
See, he's going to detroit, but his bags are going
00:00:57.247 --> 00:00:58.081
But his bags are going to bangkok."
00:00:58.148 --> 00:01:00.517
To bangkok." say it like you mean it:
00:01:00.583 --> 00:01:02.085
Say it like you mean it: "this is my bible.
00:01:02.152 --> 00:01:03.553
"this is my bible. i am what it says i am.
00:01:03.620 --> 00:01:05.355
I am what it says i am. i have what it says i have.
00:01:05.421 --> 00:01:07.290
I have what it says i have. i can do what it says
00:01:07.357 --> 00:01:08.224
I can do what it says i can do.
00:01:08.291 --> 00:01:09.592
I can do. today, i will be taught
00:01:09.659 --> 00:01:11.027
Today, i will be taught the word of god.
00:01:11.094 --> 00:01:12.495
The word of god. i boldly confess my mind is
00:01:12.562 --> 00:01:14.664
I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heat is receptive,
00:01:14.731 --> 00:01:17.300
Alert, my heat is receptive, i will never be the same, in
00:01:17.367 --> 00:01:19.335
I will never be the same, in jesus's name, god bless you.
00:01:19.402 --> 00:01:22.338
I want to talk
00:01:23.373 --> 00:01:23.940
I want to talk to you today about
00:01:24.007 --> 00:01:25.241
To you today about "what's on your throne?"
00:01:25.308 --> 00:01:27.243
"what's on your throne?" we all face situations where
00:01:27.310 --> 00:01:29.212
We don't see how they're
00:01:29.445 --> 00:01:30.079
We don't see how they're going to work out.
00:01:30.146 --> 00:01:31.548
Going to work out. the medical report
00:01:31.614 --> 00:01:32.282
The medical report wasn't good.
00:01:32.348 --> 00:01:33.783
Wasn't good. our child got off course.
00:01:33.850 --> 00:01:35.652
Our child got off course. we had a setback
00:01:35.718 --> 00:01:36.319
We had a setback in our finances.
00:01:36.386 --> 00:01:38.021
In our finances. if we're not careful, we'll
00:01:38.087 --> 00:01:39.656
If we're not careful, we'll let that problem consume us,
00:01:39.722 --> 00:01:42.225
Let that problem consume us, and that's all
00:01:42.292 --> 00:01:42.825
And that's all we think about.
00:01:42.892 --> 00:01:44.093
We think about. we go around worried,
00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:45.628
We go around worried, stressed out.
00:01:45.695 --> 00:01:46.863
Stressed out. we can't sleep at night.
00:01:46.930 --> 00:01:48.565
We can't sleep at night. the whole time,
00:01:48.631 --> 00:01:49.766
The whole time, god is in control,
00:01:49.832 --> 00:01:51.768
God is in control, but the mistake we make
00:01:51.834 --> 00:01:53.036
But the mistake we make too often is we take god
00:01:53.102 --> 00:01:55.572
Too often is we take god off the throne and we put our
00:01:55.638 --> 00:01:57.840
Off the throne and we put our problem on the throne.
00:01:57.907 --> 00:02:00.243
Problem on the throne. what you constantly think
00:02:00.310 --> 00:02:01.878
What you constantly think about, what you're giving
00:02:01.945 --> 00:02:03.513
About, what you're giving all your attention to,
00:02:03.580 --> 00:02:05.114
All your attention to, you're putting it
00:02:05.181 --> 00:02:05.949
You're putting it on the throne.
00:02:06.015 --> 00:02:07.550
On the throne. when you're always thinking
00:02:07.617 --> 00:02:08.685
When you're always thinking about the goodness of god,
00:02:08.751 --> 00:02:10.253
About the goodness of god, and you go through the day
00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:11.487
And you go through the day thanking him,
00:02:11.554 --> 00:02:12.789
Thanking him, knowing that he's fighting
00:02:12.855 --> 00:02:13.856
Knowing that he's fighting your battles,
00:02:13.923 --> 00:02:14.824
Your battles, you're worshiping god.
00:02:14.891 --> 00:02:16.793
You're worshiping god. it's the same principle.
00:02:16.859 --> 00:02:18.494
It's the same principle. if you go around worried
00:02:18.561 --> 00:02:19.862
If you go around worried about your problem,
00:02:19.929 --> 00:02:21.331
About your problem, wondering how it's going
00:02:21.397 --> 00:02:22.165
Wondering how it's going to work out,
00:02:22.232 --> 00:02:23.499
To work out, stressed out over your
00:02:23.566 --> 00:02:24.567
Stressed out over your health, reliving an offense,
00:02:24.634 --> 00:02:27.003
Health, reliving an offense, you are worshiping
00:02:27.070 --> 00:02:28.238
You are worshiping the problem.
00:02:28.304 --> 00:02:29.672
The problem. your whole outlook would
00:02:29.739 --> 00:02:31.040
Your whole outlook would change if you would simply
00:02:31.107 --> 00:02:32.909
Change if you would simply take the problem off the
00:02:32.976 --> 00:02:34.644
Take the problem off the throne and put god back up
00:02:34.711 --> 00:02:37.180
Throne and put god back up on the throne.
00:02:37.247 --> 00:02:39.148
On the throne. you may be facing an illness.
00:02:39.215 --> 00:02:41.184
You may be facing an illness. it's easy to go around
00:02:41.251 --> 00:02:42.919
It's easy to go around letting the medical
00:02:42.986 --> 00:02:43.786
Letting the medical report play over and over,
00:02:43.853 --> 00:02:46.089
Report play over and over, thinking of all the reasons
00:02:46.155 --> 00:02:47.523
Thinking of all the reasons why you're not going
00:02:47.590 --> 00:02:48.391
Why you're not going to get well.
00:02:48.458 --> 00:02:49.626
To get well. the more you dwell on it,
00:02:49.692 --> 00:02:51.327
The more you dwell on it, the more discouraged
00:02:51.394 --> 00:02:52.528
The more discouraged you're going to become.
00:02:52.595 --> 00:02:54.197
You're going to become. you have to take the medical
00:02:54.264 --> 00:02:55.932
You have to take the medical report off the throne.
00:02:55.999 --> 00:02:58.101
Report off the throne. you may be fighting cancer.
00:02:58.167 --> 00:03:00.003
You may be fighting cancer. don't let cancer get
00:03:00.069 --> 00:03:01.237
Don't let cancer get on the throne.
00:03:01.304 --> 00:03:02.438
On the throne. don't let that sickness
00:03:02.505 --> 00:03:03.840
Don't let that sickness become bigger than our god.
00:03:03.906 --> 00:03:06.209
When david faced goliath,
00:03:06.409 --> 00:03:08.344
When david faced goliath, he never called him a giant.
00:03:08.411 --> 00:03:11.014
He never called him a giant. he never said,
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:11.748
He never said, "look how big he is.
00:03:11.814 --> 00:03:13.283
"look how big he is. he's so strong.
00:03:13.349 --> 00:03:14.417
He's so strong. i don't have a chance."
00:03:14.484 --> 00:03:15.818
I don't have a chance." he called him
00:03:15.885 --> 00:03:17.020
He called him an uncircumcised philistine.
00:03:17.086 --> 00:03:19.889
An uncircumcised philistine. he downplayed his size.
00:03:19.956 --> 00:03:21.891
He downplayed his size. the truth is,
00:03:21.958 --> 00:03:22.925
The truth is, goliath was giant.
00:03:22.992 --> 00:03:24.527
Goliath was giant. he was twice david's size,
00:03:24.594 --> 00:03:27.163
But david understood
00:03:27.430 --> 00:03:28.731
But david understood this principle.
00:03:28.798 --> 00:03:29.866
This principle. he didn't put goliath
00:03:29.932 --> 00:03:31.200
He didn't put goliath on the throne.
00:03:31.267 --> 00:03:32.335
On the throne. he kept his god
00:03:32.402 --> 00:03:33.236
He kept his god on the throne.
00:03:33.303 --> 00:03:34.537
On the throne. he said to goliath, "you come
00:03:34.604 --> 00:03:36.339
He said to goliath, "you come against me with a sword
00:03:36.406 --> 00:03:38.074
Against me with a sword and a spear, but i come
00:03:38.141 --> 00:03:39.909
And a spear, but i come against you in the name
00:03:39.976 --> 00:03:42.011
Against you in the name of the lord god of israel."
00:03:42.078 --> 00:03:44.580
Of the lord god of israel." cancer has a name, but there
00:03:44.647 --> 00:03:46.716
Cancer has a name, but there is a name that's higher.
00:03:46.783 --> 00:03:48.851
Is a name that's higher. that sickness may be big, but
00:03:48.918 --> 00:03:51.020
That sickness may be big, but it's no match for our god.
00:03:51.087 --> 00:03:53.122
It's no match for our god. keep him on the throne.
00:03:53.189 --> 00:03:54.924
Keep him on the throne. quit thinking about
00:03:54.991 --> 00:03:55.958
Quit thinking about how big the problem is,
00:03:56.025 --> 00:03:57.627
How big the problem is, and start thinking about
00:03:57.694 --> 00:03:58.795
And start thinking about how big your god is.
00:03:58.861 --> 00:04:01.164
How big your god is. medical science doesn't
00:04:01.230 --> 00:04:02.832
Medical science doesn't have the final say.
00:04:02.899 --> 00:04:04.667
Have the final say. people have limitations.
00:04:04.734 --> 00:04:06.669
People have limitations. god is limitless.
00:04:06.736 --> 00:04:08.504
God is limitless. we are natural.
00:04:08.571 --> 00:04:09.539
We are natural. god is supernatural.
00:04:09.605 --> 00:04:11.541
God is supernatural. he has all power.
00:04:11.607 --> 00:04:12.709
He has all power. he can do what medicine
00:04:12.775 --> 00:04:14.344
He can do what medicine cannot do.
00:04:14.410 --> 00:04:15.611
Cannot do. but here's the key,
00:04:15.678 --> 00:04:17.080
But here's the key, if he's not on the throne,
00:04:17.146 --> 00:04:19.048
If he's not on the throne, you're not giving
00:04:19.115 --> 00:04:19.849
You're not giving him permission.
00:04:19.916 --> 00:04:21.551
Him permission. god works where there's
00:04:21.617 --> 00:04:22.885
God works where there's an attitude of faith.
00:04:22.952 --> 00:04:24.687
An attitude of faith. you can't have the medical
00:04:24.754 --> 00:04:26.122
You can't have the medical report on the throne,
00:04:26.189 --> 00:04:27.490
Report on the throne, living worried, stressed,
00:04:27.557 --> 00:04:29.359
Living worried, stressed, afraid, and have god
00:04:29.425 --> 00:04:31.160
Afraid, and have god on the throne
00:04:31.227 --> 00:04:32.295
On the throne at the same time.
00:04:32.362 --> 00:04:33.963
At the same time. there's just room for one.
00:04:34.030 --> 00:04:35.932
There's just room for one. what's on your throne?
00:04:35.998 --> 00:04:37.834
What's on your throne? cancer would love to get
00:04:37.900 --> 00:04:39.268
Cancer would love to get on the throne.
00:04:39.335 --> 00:04:40.603
On the throne. the past, a mistake you made,
00:04:40.670 --> 00:04:43.272
The past, a mistake you made, your insecurities,
00:04:43.339 --> 00:04:44.741
Your insecurities, an offense, it's time
00:04:44.807 --> 00:04:47.009
An offense, it's time to dethrone those things.
00:04:47.076 --> 00:04:49.045
To dethrone those things. it's time to put the most
00:04:49.112 --> 00:04:50.613
It's time to put the most high god back where he
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.348
High god back where he belongs, on your throne.
00:04:52.415 --> 00:04:54.951
Belongs, on your throne. he's in control.
00:04:55.017 --> 00:04:56.486
He's in control. he has you in the palm
00:04:56.552 --> 00:04:57.887
He has you in the palm of his hand.
00:04:57.954 --> 00:04:59.188
Of his hand. nothing you're facing
00:04:59.255 --> 00:05:00.723
Nothing you're facing is too much for him,
00:05:00.790 --> 00:05:01.657
Is too much for him, and instead of dwelling
00:05:01.724 --> 00:05:03.359
And instead of dwelling on all the negative,
00:05:03.426 --> 00:05:04.660
On all the negative, the worry, the past, the
00:05:04.727 --> 00:05:06.195
The worry, the past, the problem, the addiction, start
00:05:06.262 --> 00:05:08.231
Problem, the addiction, start dwelling on the greatness
00:05:08.297 --> 00:05:09.832
Dwelling on the greatness of our god.
00:05:09.899 --> 00:05:11.367
Of our god. david said, "i don't look to
00:05:11.434 --> 00:05:13.136
David said, "i don't look to the mountains for help.
00:05:13.202 --> 00:05:14.637
The mountains for help. i look to the god
00:05:14.704 --> 00:05:15.571
I look to the god who made the mountains,"
00:05:15.638 --> 00:05:17.540
And it's a powerful thing
00:05:17.774 --> 00:05:19.308
And it's a powerful thing when you can say,
00:05:19.375 --> 00:05:20.042
When you can say, "god, you created
00:05:20.109 --> 00:05:21.577
"god, you created the universe.
00:05:21.644 --> 00:05:22.845
The universe. you spoke worlds
00:05:22.912 --> 00:05:23.880
You spoke worlds into existence.
00:05:23.946 --> 00:05:25.047
Into existence. you flung stars into space,
00:05:25.114 --> 00:05:27.150
You flung stars into space, and, god, i know you're
00:05:27.216 --> 00:05:28.785
And, god, i know you're bigger than this sickness,
00:05:28.851 --> 00:05:30.553
Bigger than this sickness, greater than this addiction,
00:05:30.620 --> 00:05:32.021
Greater than this addiction, more powerful than
00:05:32.088 --> 00:05:33.022
More powerful than this problem.
00:05:33.089 --> 00:05:33.990
This problem. what are you doing?
00:05:34.056 --> 00:05:34.891
What are you doing? putting god on the throne.
00:05:34.957 --> 00:05:37.693
Putting god on the throne. maybe you've been through
00:05:37.760 --> 00:05:38.594
Maybe you've been through an unfair situation.
00:05:38.661 --> 00:05:40.530
An unfair situation. somebody did you wrong.
00:05:40.596 --> 00:05:42.365
Somebody did you wrong. they cheated you in
00:05:42.432 --> 00:05:43.132
They cheated you in a business deal.
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:44.167
A business deal. they walked out
00:05:44.233 --> 00:05:44.901
They walked out of a relationship,
00:05:44.967 --> 00:05:45.935
Of a relationship, and instead of letting it go,
00:05:46.002 --> 00:05:48.838
And instead of letting it go, trusting god to be
00:05:48.905 --> 00:05:50.039
Trusting god to be your vindicator,
00:05:50.106 --> 00:05:51.407
Your vindicator, you held onto it.
00:05:51.474 --> 00:05:53.075
You held onto it. now you're living offended,
00:05:53.142 --> 00:05:54.811
Now you're living offended, no passion,
00:05:54.877 --> 00:05:56.245
No passion, replaying the hurt.
00:05:56.312 --> 00:05:58.147
Replaying the hurt. the problem is, you have
00:05:58.214 --> 00:06:00.016
The problem is, you have the offense on the throne,
00:06:00.082 --> 00:06:01.617
The offense on the throne, and as long as you think
00:06:01.684 --> 00:06:03.786
And as long as you think about it, replay
00:06:03.853 --> 00:06:05.388
About it, replay what didn't work out,
00:06:05.455 --> 00:06:06.923
What didn't work out, it's going to sour your life.
00:06:06.989 --> 00:06:09.192
It's going to sour your life. you have to take that hurt
00:06:09.258 --> 00:06:10.927
You have to take that hurt off the throne.
00:06:10.993 --> 00:06:12.495
Off the throne. nothing that's happened
00:06:12.562 --> 00:06:13.763
Nothing that's happened to you has to keep you
00:06:13.830 --> 00:06:15.598
To you has to keep you from your destiny.
00:06:15.665 --> 00:06:17.333
From your destiny. god wouldn't have allowed it
00:06:17.400 --> 00:06:19.302
God wouldn't have allowed it if it was going to stop
00:06:19.368 --> 00:06:20.436
If it was going to stop your purpose,
00:06:20.503 --> 00:06:21.904
Your purpose, but it's easy to focus
00:06:21.971 --> 00:06:23.239
But it's easy to focus on what didn't work out,
00:06:23.306 --> 00:06:25.074
On what didn't work out, live offended,
00:06:25.141 --> 00:06:26.409
Live offended, try to pay people back,
00:06:26.476 --> 00:06:28.344
Try to pay people back, prove to them
00:06:28.411 --> 00:06:29.145
Prove to them that we can make it
00:06:29.212 --> 00:06:29.912
That we can make it without them.
00:06:29.979 --> 00:06:31.180
Without them. quit letting
00:06:31.247 --> 00:06:31.881
Quit letting that consume you.
00:06:31.948 --> 00:06:33.616
That consume you. they hurt you once.
00:06:33.683 --> 00:06:35.218
They hurt you once. don't let them continue to
00:06:35.284 --> 00:06:36.953
Don't let them continue to hurt you by holding on to it.
00:06:37.019 --> 00:06:39.422
Hurt you by holding on to it. that's over and done.
00:06:39.489 --> 00:06:41.324
That's over and done. this is a new day,
00:06:41.390 --> 00:06:42.492
This is a new day, and if you will take the hurt
00:06:42.558 --> 00:06:44.994
And if you will take the hurt off the throne
00:06:45.061 --> 00:06:46.529
Off the throne and put god back on
00:06:46.596 --> 00:06:47.797
And put god back on the throne, he'll be
00:06:47.864 --> 00:06:49.365
The throne, he'll be your vindicator.
00:06:49.432 --> 00:06:50.867
Your vindicator. he'll take what was meant
00:06:50.933 --> 00:06:52.235
He'll take what was meant for harm and use it
00:06:52.301 --> 00:06:54.036
For harm and use it to your advantage.
00:06:54.103 --> 00:06:55.505
To your advantage. he said he would pay you back
00:06:55.571 --> 00:06:57.473
He said he would pay you back double for the unfair things
00:06:57.540 --> 00:06:59.308
Double for the unfair things that have happened.
00:06:59.375 --> 00:07:01.143
That have happened. but you have to do your part.
00:07:01.210 --> 00:07:03.713
But you have to do your part. take the disappointment off
00:07:03.779 --> 00:07:05.214
Take the disappointment off the throne.
00:07:05.281 --> 00:07:06.182
The throne. take the bad break off,
00:07:06.249 --> 00:07:07.617
Take the bad break off, the offense.
00:07:07.683 --> 00:07:08.851
The offense. god knows what happened.
00:07:08.918 --> 00:07:10.653
God knows what happened. he's a god of justice.
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:12.288
He's a god of justice. he wants to make up
00:07:12.355 --> 00:07:13.489
He wants to make up for the wrongs.
00:07:13.556 --> 00:07:14.524
For the wrongs. he said, "your latter days
00:07:14.590 --> 00:07:16.726
He said, "your latter days will be greater
00:07:16.792 --> 00:07:17.693
Will be greater than your former days."
00:07:17.760 --> 00:07:19.395
Than your former days." what's on your throne?
00:07:19.462 --> 00:07:20.863
What's on your throne? the hurt, the offense,
00:07:20.930 --> 00:07:22.265
The hurt, the offense, the bad break?
00:07:22.331 --> 00:07:23.466
The bad break? it's time to dethrone
00:07:23.533 --> 00:07:25.434
It's time to dethrone those things.
00:07:25.501 --> 00:07:26.302
Those things. this is what joseph did.
00:07:26.369 --> 00:07:28.104
This is what joseph did. he went through one
00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:29.105
He went through one bad break after another.
00:07:29.171 --> 00:07:30.540
Bad break after another. didn't make sense.
00:07:30.606 --> 00:07:32.141
Didn't make sense. he was doing the right thing,
00:07:32.208 --> 00:07:34.243
He was doing the right thing, but he was betrayed by his
00:07:34.310 --> 00:07:35.778
But he was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery,
00:07:35.845 --> 00:07:38.481
Brothers, sold into slavery, falsely accused,
00:07:38.548 --> 00:07:39.682
Falsely accused, put in prison.
00:07:39.749 --> 00:07:41.183
Put in prison. he could have been
00:07:41.250 --> 00:07:41.851
He could have been discouraged, thought,
00:07:41.918 --> 00:07:43.085
Discouraged, thought, "this isn't fair,"
00:07:43.152 --> 00:07:44.820
"this isn't fair," but he understood
00:07:44.887 --> 00:07:46.289
But he understood that god is sovereign,
00:07:46.355 --> 00:07:48.291
That god is sovereign, that things are going
00:07:48.357 --> 00:07:49.158
That things are going to happen that we
00:07:49.225 --> 00:07:50.192
To happen that we don't understand,
00:07:50.259 --> 00:07:51.127
Don't understand, and he kept being his best,
00:07:51.193 --> 00:07:53.596
And he kept being his best, and despite all the people
00:07:53.663 --> 00:07:55.565
And despite all the people trying to push him down,
00:07:55.631 --> 00:07:57.199
Trying to push him down, god caused him to rise up.
00:07:57.266 --> 00:07:59.602
God caused him to rise up. people don't determine
00:07:59.669 --> 00:08:00.970
People don't determine your destiny.
00:08:01.037 --> 00:08:02.538
Your destiny. they cannot stop god's plan
00:08:02.605 --> 00:08:04.473
For your life unless you
00:08:04.674 --> 00:08:06.208
For your life unless you allow them to.
00:08:06.275 --> 00:08:07.810
Allow them to. god gave joseph favor.
00:08:07.877 --> 00:08:10.012
God gave joseph favor. the pharaoh liked him so much
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.281
The pharaoh liked him so much that he brought joseph out of
00:08:12.348 --> 00:08:13.616
That he brought joseph out of prison and made him the prime
00:08:13.683 --> 00:08:15.651
Prison and made him the prime minister of egypt.
00:08:15.718 --> 00:08:17.520
Minister of egypt. joseph went from being
00:08:17.587 --> 00:08:18.721
Joseph went from being a slave to being
00:08:18.788 --> 00:08:20.323
A slave to being in the palace.
00:08:20.389 --> 00:08:21.824
In the palace. that's the sovereignty
00:08:21.891 --> 00:08:23.326
That's the sovereignty of god.
00:08:23.392 --> 00:08:24.260
Of god. he reigns when life
00:08:24.327 --> 00:08:25.595
He reigns when life isn't fair,
00:08:25.661 --> 00:08:27.597
You may be in a situation
00:08:27.797 --> 00:08:28.631
You may be in a situation now that doesn't make sense.
00:08:28.698 --> 00:08:31.100
Now that doesn't make sense. you were doing the right
00:08:31.167 --> 00:08:32.301
You were doing the right thing, but the wrong thing
00:08:32.368 --> 00:08:33.869
Thing, but the wrong thing has happened.
00:08:33.936 --> 00:08:35.137
Has happened. are you going to let
00:08:35.204 --> 00:08:36.305
Are you going to let bitterness get on the throne,
00:08:36.372 --> 00:08:38.174
Bitterness get on the throne, self-pity, discouragement, or
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:41.043
Self-pity, discouragement, or are you going to be a joseph
00:08:41.110 --> 00:08:42.878
Are you going to be a joseph and keep god on the throne,
00:08:42.945 --> 00:08:45.081
And keep god on the throne, knowing that he is sovereign
00:08:45.147 --> 00:08:47.116
Knowing that he is sovereign and that it is all working
00:08:47.183 --> 00:08:48.317
And that it is all working for your good?
00:08:48.384 --> 00:08:49.919
For your good? psalm 47 says: "god reigns
00:08:49.986 --> 00:08:53.155
Psalm 47 says: "god reigns over the nations."
00:08:53.222 --> 00:08:55.157
The right attitude is,
00:08:55.358 --> 00:08:56.425
The right attitude is, "god, you not only reign
00:08:56.492 --> 00:08:58.194
"god, you not only reign over the world,
00:08:58.260 --> 00:08:59.428
Over the world, but you reign over
00:08:59.495 --> 00:09:00.429
But you reign over my circumstances.
00:09:00.496 --> 00:09:01.897
My circumstances. you reign over my health,
00:09:01.964 --> 00:09:03.733
You reign over my health, over my finances,
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:04.934
Over my finances, over my children,
00:09:05.001 --> 00:09:06.102
Over my children, over my enemies."
00:09:06.168 --> 00:09:07.970
Over my enemies." that opposition may look like
00:09:08.037 --> 00:09:10.206
That opposition may look like it's bigger, more powerful.
00:09:10.272 --> 00:09:12.608
It's bigger, more powerful. they have more resources,
00:09:12.675 --> 00:09:13.943
They have more resources, more influence,
00:09:14.010 --> 00:09:15.511
More influence, but when you have god
00:09:15.578 --> 00:09:16.912
But when you have god on the throne,
00:09:16.979 --> 00:09:18.080
On the throne, he is more powerful
00:09:18.147 --> 00:09:19.882
He is more powerful than anything
00:09:19.949 --> 00:09:20.716
Than anything that's trying to stop you.
00:09:20.783 --> 00:09:22.551
That's trying to stop you. one angel in
00:09:22.618 --> 00:09:23.786
One angel in the old testament
00:09:23.853 --> 00:09:25.154
The old testament defeated 185,000
00:09:25.221 --> 00:09:28.224
Defeated 185,000 of the enemies of god.
00:09:28.290 --> 00:09:30.259
Of the enemies of god. the forces that are for you
00:09:30.326 --> 00:09:32.528
The forces that are for you are greater than the forces
00:09:32.595 --> 00:09:34.096
Are greater than the forces that are against you.
00:09:34.163 --> 00:09:36.065
That are against you. now, keep doing
00:09:36.132 --> 00:09:37.500
Now, keep doing the right thing.
00:09:37.566 --> 00:09:39.035
The right thing. the battle may be taking
00:09:39.101 --> 00:09:40.569
The battle may be taking longer than you thought.
00:09:40.636 --> 00:09:42.638
Longer than you thought. joseph went through 13 years
00:09:42.705 --> 00:09:45.041
Joseph went through 13 years of injustice before he saw
00:09:45.107 --> 00:09:47.276
Of injustice before he saw vindication and promotion.
00:09:47.343 --> 00:09:49.779
Vindication and promotion. keep being your best
00:09:49.845 --> 00:09:51.113
Keep being your best where you are.
00:09:51.180 --> 00:09:52.148
Where you are. god sees what's happening.
00:09:52.214 --> 00:09:54.483
God sees what's happening. he's collected every tear
00:09:54.550 --> 00:09:56.052
He's collected every tear that you've shed.
00:09:56.118 --> 00:09:57.253
That you've shed. your time is coming.
00:09:57.319 --> 00:09:59.288
Your time is coming. your due season
00:09:59.355 --> 00:10:00.423
Your due season is on the way.
00:10:00.489 --> 00:10:01.791
Is on the way. like joseph, you're not going
00:10:01.857 --> 00:10:03.492
Like joseph, you're not going to just come through
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:04.460
To just come through the difficulty, you're going
00:10:04.527 --> 00:10:05.961
The difficulty, you're going to come out promoted,
00:10:06.028 --> 00:10:07.697
To come out promoted, vindicated, to a new level
00:10:07.763 --> 00:10:09.732
Vindicated, to a new level of your destiny.
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:11.667
Perhaps you have a child
00:10:11.867 --> 00:10:12.935
Perhaps you have a child that's off course.
00:10:13.002 --> 00:10:14.370
That's off course. you could worry, lose sleep,
00:10:14.437 --> 00:10:17.073
You could worry, lose sleep, believe the lies that he's
00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:18.240
Believe the lies that he's never going to change,
00:10:18.307 --> 00:10:19.742
Never going to change, or you can say, "god,
00:10:19.809 --> 00:10:21.310
Or you can say, "god, you reign over my child.
00:10:21.377 --> 00:10:23.479
You reign over my child. you have a hedge of
00:10:23.546 --> 00:10:24.413
You have a hedge of protection around him.
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:25.948
Protection around him. thank you that my seed
00:10:26.015 --> 00:10:27.249
Thank you that my seed will be mighty in the land."
00:10:27.316 --> 00:10:29.652
Let god reign over your
00:10:29.885 --> 00:10:31.454
Let god reign over your circumstances.
00:10:31.520 --> 00:10:32.655

And when you're tempted to worry,
00:13:37.973 --> 00:13:38.974
To worry, thoughts tell you, "oh, this
00:13:39.041 --> 00:13:39.808
Thoughts tell you, "oh, this isn't going to happen for
00:13:39.875 --> 00:13:40.676

You, you'll never get well, never accomplish that dream,"
00:13:42.945 --> 00:13:44.813
Never accomplish that dream," recognize what's happening,
00:13:44.880 --> 00:13:46.682
Recognize what's happening, the doubt, the worry,
00:13:46.749 --> 00:13:48.517
The doubt, the worry, the offense, it's trying
00:13:48.584 --> 00:13:50.052
The offense, it's trying to get back on the throne.
00:13:50.119 --> 00:13:51.954
To get back on the throne. you have to put your foot
00:13:52.021 --> 00:13:53.022
You have to put your foot down and say, "no, thanks,
00:13:53.088 --> 00:13:54.456
Down and say, "no, thanks, you are not welcome here.
00:13:54.523 --> 00:13:56.058

00:13:56.125 --> 00:13:57.693
My throne is reserved for one, the most high god."
00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:00.596
One, the most high god." but here's the key, every
00:14:00.663 --> 00:14:02.264
But here's the key, every morning, the problem
00:14:02.331 --> 00:14:04.133
Morning, the problem will try to get back up
00:14:04.199 --> 00:14:05.401
Will try to get back up on the throne.
00:14:05.467 --> 00:14:06.769
On the throne. you don't take it off once
00:14:06.835 --> 00:14:08.370
You don't take it off once and then you're done.
00:14:08.437 --> 00:14:09.705
And then you're done. you have to keep it off.
00:14:09.772 --> 00:14:11.473
You have to keep it off. all through the day, worry
00:14:11.540 --> 00:14:12.942
All through the day, worry will try to creep back in,
00:14:13.008 --> 00:14:14.243
Will try to creep back in, discouragement, self-pity.
00:14:14.310 --> 00:14:16.145
Discouragement, self-pity. there's always something
00:14:16.211 --> 00:14:17.479
There's always something trying to get on the throne,
00:14:17.546 --> 00:14:18.614
Trying to get on the throne, and god said in isaiah,
00:14:18.681 --> 00:14:21.116
And god said in isaiah, "if you'll keep your mind
00:14:21.183 --> 00:14:22.985
"if you'll keep your mind stayed on me,
00:14:23.052 --> 00:14:24.987
Stayed on me, i will keep you
00:14:25.054 --> 00:14:26.021
I will keep you in perfect peace."
00:14:26.088 --> 00:14:27.890
In perfect peace." he was saying, in effect,
00:14:27.957 --> 00:14:29.224
He was saying, in effect, "if you'll keep me
00:14:29.291 --> 00:14:30.159
"if you'll keep me on the throne,
00:14:30.225 --> 00:14:31.327
On the throne, if you'll say no
00:14:31.393 --> 00:14:32.194
If you'll say no to the worry,
00:14:32.261 --> 00:14:32.895
To the worry, no to the doubt,
00:14:32.962 --> 00:14:33.829
No to the doubt, no to the offense, then
00:14:33.896 --> 00:14:35.230
No to the offense, then you will live a peaceful,
00:14:35.297 --> 00:14:36.732
You will live a peaceful, victorious life."
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:38.667
I talked to a lady that had
00:14:38.901 --> 00:14:40.402
I talked to a lady that had worked for this company
00:14:40.469 --> 00:14:41.437
Worked for this company for many years.
00:14:41.503 --> 00:14:43.038
For many years. her supervisor resigned and
00:14:43.105 --> 00:14:44.840
Her supervisor resigned and she applied for the position,
00:14:44.907 --> 00:14:46.308
She applied for the position, and out of all
00:14:46.375 --> 00:14:47.743
And out of all the candidates,
00:14:47.810 --> 00:14:48.811
The candidates, some from other states,
00:14:48.877 --> 00:14:50.346
Some from other states, she was the most qualified.
00:14:50.412 --> 00:14:52.348
She was the most qualified. plus, she had the advantage
00:14:52.414 --> 00:14:53.682
Plus, she had the advantage of knowing the company
00:14:53.749 --> 00:14:55.217
Of knowing the company and knowing all the people.
00:14:55.284 --> 00:14:56.852
And knowing all the people. she was well-liked.
00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:58.320
She was well-liked. everyone was certain she
00:14:58.387 --> 00:14:59.655
Everyone was certain she would get the position.
00:14:59.722 --> 00:15:01.190
Would get the position. much to her surprise,
00:15:01.256 --> 00:15:03.125
She was turned down.
00:15:03.392 --> 00:15:05.027
She was turned down. she could have gotten bitter,
00:15:05.094 --> 00:15:06.829
She could have gotten bitter, felt slighted, thought,
00:15:06.895 --> 00:15:08.364
Felt slighted, thought, "that's not fair," but she
00:15:08.430 --> 00:15:10.399
"that's not fair," but she understood this principle.
00:15:10.466 --> 00:15:12.267
Understood this principle. she didn't let bitterness
00:15:12.334 --> 00:15:13.669
She didn't let bitterness get on the throne.
00:15:13.736 --> 00:15:15.037
Get on the throne. she knew god was directing
00:15:15.104 --> 00:15:17.373
She knew god was directing her steps, and that he
00:15:17.439 --> 00:15:18.974
Her steps, and that he had closed those doors
00:15:19.041 --> 00:15:20.442
Had closed those doors on purpose.
00:15:20.509 --> 00:15:21.977
On purpose. a few weeks later,
00:15:22.044 --> 00:15:23.445
A few weeks later, out of the blue,
00:15:23.512 --> 00:15:24.646
Out of the blue, she received a phone call
00:15:24.713 --> 00:15:26.248
She received a phone call from a company that she
00:15:26.315 --> 00:15:27.616
From a company that she had never met, and they asked
00:15:27.683 --> 00:15:29.518
Had never met, and they asked if she was interested
00:15:29.585 --> 00:15:30.686
If she was interested in a position.
00:15:30.753 --> 00:15:31.987
In a position. the pay was the same as
00:15:32.054 --> 00:15:33.756
The pay was the same as the promotion at her company.
00:15:33.822 --> 00:15:35.724
She didn't really want
00:15:35.991 --> 00:15:36.759
She didn't really want to leave, because she knew
00:15:36.825 --> 00:15:38.193
To leave, because she knew everyone there,
00:15:38.260 --> 00:15:39.028
Everyone there, but she applied anyway.
00:15:39.094 --> 00:15:41.096
But she applied anyway. they called back and said,
00:15:41.163 --> 00:15:42.197
They called back and said, "we'd love to have you, and
00:15:42.264 --> 00:15:43.832
"we'd love to have you, and if you'll accept, we're not
00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:45.834
If you'll accept, we're not going to pay what was listed.
00:15:45.901 --> 00:15:47.569
Going to pay what was listed. we're going to pay
00:15:47.636 --> 00:15:48.270
We're going to pay 25% more."
00:15:48.337 --> 00:15:50.472
25% more." she took the job and said,
00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:52.374
"joel, i've never

"joel, i've never been happier.
00:15:53.642 --> 00:15:54.410
Been happier. it's been a perfect fit."
00:15:54.476 --> 00:15:56.812
It's been a perfect fit." when you go
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:57.479
When you go through disappointments,
00:15:57.546 --> 00:15:59.048
Through disappointments, closed doors,
00:15:59.114 --> 00:16:00.315
Closed doors, you'll be tempted to put
00:16:00.382 --> 00:16:01.750
You'll be tempted to put the offense on the throne,
00:16:01.817 --> 00:16:03.585
The offense on the throne, the self-pity,
00:16:03.652 --> 00:16:04.486
The self-pity, the bitterness.
00:16:04.553 --> 00:16:05.954
The bitterness. don't fall into that trap.
00:16:06.021 --> 00:16:07.956
Don't fall into that trap. god is ordering your steps.
00:16:08.023 --> 00:16:10.359
God is ordering your steps. he can see things
00:16:10.426 --> 00:16:11.860
He can see things that you can't see.
00:16:11.927 --> 00:16:13.662
That you can't see. the disappointment,
00:16:13.729 --> 00:16:14.830
The disappointment, the closed doors,
00:16:14.897 --> 00:16:15.864
The closed doors, they are a test.
00:16:15.931 --> 00:16:17.533
They are a test. god is seeing,
00:16:17.599 --> 00:16:18.700
God is seeing, what are you going to do?
00:16:18.767 --> 00:16:20.335
What are you going to do? if you'll keep your mind
00:16:20.402 --> 00:16:21.937
If you'll keep your mind stayed on him, you'll pass
00:16:22.004 --> 00:16:23.972
Stayed on him, you'll pass that test, and like her,
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:26.175
That test, and like her, you'll come into promotion,
00:16:26.241 --> 00:16:27.776
You'll come into promotion, healing, vindication that
00:16:27.843 --> 00:16:29.878
Healing, vindication that you didn't see coming.
00:16:29.945 --> 00:16:31.713
You didn't see coming. what's on your throne?
00:16:31.780 --> 00:16:33.315
What's on your throne? are you living offended,
00:16:33.382 --> 00:16:34.716
Are you living offended, discouraged, upset?
00:16:34.783 --> 00:16:37.186
Discouraged, upset? i wonder how much higher
00:16:37.252 --> 00:16:38.821
I wonder how much higher we would go,
00:16:38.887 --> 00:16:39.521
We would go, how much more favor
00:16:39.588 --> 00:16:41.190
How much more favor we would see if we would
00:16:41.256 --> 00:16:42.624
We would see if we would simply keep god
00:16:42.691 --> 00:16:43.959
Simply keep god on the throne.
00:16:44.026 --> 00:16:45.861
Sometimes we're putting
00:16:46.128 --> 00:16:47.262
Sometimes we're putting ourselves on the throne.
00:16:47.329 --> 00:16:49.264
Ourselves on the throne. we're stressed out trying
00:16:49.331 --> 00:16:50.666
We're stressed out trying to fix everybody in our life,
00:16:50.732 --> 00:16:53.035
To fix everybody in our life, make a dream come to pass,
00:16:53.102 --> 00:16:54.770
Make a dream come to pass, make our house sell,
00:16:54.837 --> 00:16:55.904
Make our house sell, make ourselves get well.
00:16:55.971 --> 00:16:57.639
Make ourselves get well. you need to take yourself
00:16:57.706 --> 00:16:59.374
You need to take yourself off the throne.
00:16:59.441 --> 00:17:00.876
Off the throne. you don't have to make
00:17:00.943 --> 00:17:02.077
You don't have to make everything happen in your own
00:17:02.144 --> 00:17:03.745
Everything happen in your own strength, and too often,
00:17:03.812 --> 00:17:05.814
We're frustrated by things
00:17:06.014 --> 00:17:07.916
We're frustrated by things that only god can change.
00:17:07.983 --> 00:17:10.185
That only god can change. we're worried about something
00:17:10.252 --> 00:17:11.820
We're worried about something we have no control over.
00:17:11.887 --> 00:17:14.022
We have no control over. take the pressure off and
00:17:14.089 --> 00:17:15.858
Take the pressure off and live from a place of rest.
00:17:15.924 --> 00:17:18.093
Live from a place of rest. his yoke is easy.
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:19.328
His yoke is easy. his burden is light.
00:17:19.394 --> 00:17:21.864
His burden is light. you can't make yourself
00:17:21.930 --> 00:17:23.532
You can't make yourself get well.
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:24.800
Get well. use common sense,
00:17:24.867 --> 00:17:26.435
Use common sense, but don't live stressed out,
00:17:26.502 --> 00:17:28.370
But don't live stressed out, thinking you have to do
00:17:28.437 --> 00:17:29.204
Thinking you have to do a thousand things
00:17:29.271 --> 00:17:30.272
A thousand things perfectly right before
00:17:30.339 --> 00:17:31.874
Perfectly right before you can get better.
00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:33.475
You can get better. god is the healer.
00:17:33.542 --> 00:17:35.477
God is the healer. your intentions are good,
00:17:35.544 --> 00:17:37.346
Your intentions are good, but you need to come down
00:17:37.412 --> 00:17:38.547
But you need to come down off the throne.
00:17:38.614 --> 00:17:39.781
Off the throne. quit putting so much pressure
00:17:39.848 --> 00:17:41.416
Quit putting so much pressure on yourself.
00:17:41.483 --> 00:17:42.518
On yourself. you will get well sooner
00:17:42.584 --> 00:17:44.353
You will get well sooner if you will live in peace,
00:17:44.419 --> 00:17:46.121
If you will live in peace, knowing that god is
00:17:46.188 --> 00:17:47.089
Knowing that god is in control.
00:17:47.156 --> 00:17:48.257
In control. he reigns over your health.
00:17:48.323 --> 00:17:50.859
He reigns over your health. that tells me,
00:17:50.926 --> 00:17:52.194
That tells me, if it's not your time to go,
00:17:52.261 --> 00:17:54.263
If it's not your time to go, when you're in faith,
00:17:54.329 --> 00:17:55.898
When you're in faith, then that sickness
00:17:55.964 --> 00:17:56.765
Then that sickness cannot take your life.
00:17:56.832 --> 00:17:58.600
Cannot take your life. the scripture says,
00:17:58.667 --> 00:17:59.401
The scripture says, "nothing can snatch you
00:17:59.468 --> 00:18:00.636
"nothing can snatch you out of god's hands."
00:18:00.702 --> 00:18:02.304
Out of god's hands." do your part, but don't live
00:18:02.371 --> 00:18:04.072
Do your part, but don't live frustrated trying to make
00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:05.741
Frustrated trying to make things happen that only god
00:18:05.807 --> 00:18:07.176
Things happen that only god can make happen.
00:18:07.242 --> 00:18:09.144
We can't make people
00:18:09.411 --> 00:18:10.512
We can't make people do what's right.
00:18:10.579 --> 00:18:11.880
Do what's right. we can pray for them.
00:18:11.947 --> 00:18:13.348
We can pray for them. we can encourage them,
00:18:13.415 --> 00:18:14.816
We can encourage them, but we can't control them.
00:18:14.883 --> 00:18:16.618
But we can't control them. they have their own
00:18:16.685 --> 00:18:17.419
They have their own free will.
00:18:17.486 --> 00:18:18.720
Free will. come down off that throne
00:18:18.787 --> 00:18:20.489
Come down off that throne and say, "god, you reign
00:18:20.556 --> 00:18:21.957
And say, "god, you reign over my loved one.
00:18:22.024 --> 00:18:23.392
Over my loved one. you reign over my child.
00:18:23.458 --> 00:18:25.127
You reign over my child. thank you that he will
00:18:25.194 --> 00:18:25.794
Thank you that he will fulfill his destiny."
00:18:25.861 --> 00:18:27.729
You have to turn them
00:18:27.996 --> 00:18:28.997
You have to turn them over to god.
00:18:29.064 --> 00:18:30.666
Over to god. as long as you're on
00:18:30.732 --> 00:18:31.800
As long as you're on the throne, worrying, upset,
00:18:31.867 --> 00:18:34.603
The throne, worrying, upset, then god will step back.
00:18:34.670 --> 00:18:36.471
Then god will step back. but when you put him
00:18:36.538 --> 00:18:37.539
But when you put him back on the throne,
00:18:37.606 --> 00:18:38.941
Back on the throne, not only will you live
00:18:39.007 --> 00:18:40.342
Not only will you live more peacefully, but god
00:18:40.409 --> 00:18:42.344
More peacefully, but god will fight your battles.

And the people of judah were surrounded
00:18:49.651 --> 00:18:50.452
Were surrounded by three major armies.
00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:52.387
By three major armies. they were outnumbered
00:18:52.454 --> 00:18:53.455
They were outnumbered ten to one.
00:18:53.522 --> 00:18:54.756
Ten to one. they could have panicked,
00:18:54.823 --> 00:18:56.124
They could have panicked, fallen apart, but jehoshaphat
00:18:56.191 --> 00:18:58.327
Called everyone
00:18:58.594 --> 00:18:59.461
Called everyone together to pray.
00:18:59.528 --> 00:19:01.163
Together to pray. he said, "god, we have no
00:19:01.230 --> 00:19:03.065
He said, "god, we have no power to stand against
00:19:03.131 --> 00:19:05.067
Power to stand against these vast armies
00:19:05.133 --> 00:19:06.668
These vast armies in our own strength."
00:19:06.735 --> 00:19:08.570
In our own strength." he didn't deny the problem.
00:19:08.637 --> 00:19:10.639
He didn't deny the problem. he didn't act like
00:19:10.706 --> 00:19:11.506
He didn't act like it didn't exist.
00:19:11.573 --> 00:19:12.975
It didn't exist. he admitted they
00:19:13.041 --> 00:19:14.176
He admitted they were outnumbered,
00:19:14.243 --> 00:19:15.811
Were outnumbered, but he didn't stop there.
00:19:15.877 --> 00:19:17.813
But he didn't stop there. he went on to say,

He went on to say, "we don't know what to do,
00:19:19.047 --> 00:19:21.416
"we don't know what to do, but our eyes are
00:19:21.483 --> 00:19:22.751
But our eyes are upon you," and there's
00:19:22.818 --> 00:19:24.720
Upon you," and there's nothing wrong with saying,
00:19:24.786 --> 00:19:25.921
Nothing wrong with saying, "god, this problem
00:19:25.988 --> 00:19:27.122
"god, this problem is bigger than me.
00:19:27.189 --> 00:19:28.557
Is bigger than me. these enemies are
00:19:28.624 --> 00:19:29.358
These enemies are more powerful,"
00:19:29.424 --> 00:19:30.425
More powerful," but don't stop there.
00:19:30.492 --> 00:19:32.194
But don't stop there. follow it up with, "but god,
00:19:32.261 --> 00:19:34.096
Follow it up with, "but god, my eyes are upon you.
00:19:34.162 --> 00:19:36.298
My eyes are upon you. i may not have the power,

Are all powerful," and when you keep god

And when you keep god on the throne,
00:19:42.070 --> 00:19:43.105
On the throne, you'll be in peace when

You'll be in peace when you could be panicked.
00:19:44.473 --> 00:19:45.941
You could be panicked. you'll be praising when
00:19:46.008 --> 00:19:47.376
You'll be praising when you could be complaining.
00:19:47.442 --> 00:19:49.311

The singers and the praisers out in front and to march
00:19:53.548 --> 00:19:55.250
Out in front and to march toward those three
00:19:55.317 --> 00:19:56.752
Toward those three enemy armies.
00:19:56.818 --> 00:19:58.253
Enemy armies. when they heard all
00:19:58.320 --> 00:19:58.987
When they heard all the commotion, they got
00:19:59.054 --> 00:20:00.656
The commotion, they got confused and began to fight
00:20:00.722 --> 00:20:02.824
Confused and began to fight among themselves.
00:20:02.891 --> 00:20:04.359
Among themselves. they ended up killing

They ended up killing each other.
00:20:05.260 --> 00:20:07.095
When the people of judah
00:20:07.329 --> 00:20:08.063
When the people of judah arrived, they didn't
00:20:08.130 --> 00:20:09.298
Arrived, they didn't even have to fight.
00:20:09.364 --> 00:20:10.866
Even have to fight. they just went in and
00:20:10.932 --> 00:20:11.967
They just went in and gathered up the spoils.
00:20:12.034 --> 00:20:13.869
Gathered up the spoils. it took them three days
00:20:13.935 --> 00:20:15.604

The treasures back home. like with them, on your own,
00:20:19.241 --> 00:20:21.510
Like with them, on your own, the problem may look too big.
00:20:21.576 --> 00:20:23.712
The problem may look too big. on your own,
00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:24.713
On your own, you can't beat the cancer.
00:20:24.780 --> 00:20:26.348
You can't beat the cancer. on your own, you'll never
00:20:26.415 --> 00:20:27.716
On your own, you'll never break the addiction.
00:20:27.783 --> 00:20:29.117
Break the addiction. the good news is,
00:20:29.184 --> 00:20:30.419
The good news is, you're not on your own.
00:20:30.485 --> 00:20:32.220
You're not on your own. you have the most powerful

00:20:33.822 --> 00:20:35.424
Force in the universe on your side.
00:20:35.490 --> 00:20:37.059
On your side. what are you worrying about?
00:20:37.125 --> 00:20:39.261
What are you worrying about? what are you losing
00:20:39.328 --> 00:20:39.961
What are you losing sleep over?
00:20:40.028 --> 00:20:41.363
Sleep over? what have you given up on?
00:20:41.430 --> 00:20:43.332
What have you given up on? it's time to put god
00:20:43.398 --> 00:20:45.133
It's time to put god back on the throne.
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:46.768
Back on the throne. he's bigger than what
00:20:46.835 --> 00:20:47.869
He's bigger than what you're facing.
00:20:47.936 --> 00:20:49.371
You're facing. he has ways to turn it around
00:20:49.438 --> 00:20:51.340
He has ways to turn it around that you've never thought of.
00:20:51.406 --> 00:20:53.241
That you've never thought of. you may not know what to do,
00:20:53.308 --> 00:20:54.843
You may not know what to do, but when your eyes are
00:20:54.910 --> 00:20:56.211
But when your eyes are upon him, he'll make a way
00:20:56.278 --> 00:20:58.246
Upon him, he'll make a way where you don't see a way.
00:20:58.313 --> 00:20:59.715
Where you don't see a way. he'll help you to feed
00:20:59.781 --> 00:21:00.582
He'll help you to feed enemies that are bigger
00:21:00.649 --> 00:21:01.950
Enemies that are bigger and more powerful.
00:21:02.017 --> 00:21:04.019
The other day,
00:21:04.252 --> 00:21:04.820
The other day, i was at the airport,
00:21:04.886 --> 00:21:06.321
I was at the airport, trying to download
00:21:06.388 --> 00:21:07.322
Trying to download something on my phone before
00:21:07.389 --> 00:21:09.057
Something on my phone before we took off, and the little
00:21:09.124 --> 00:21:10.726
We took off, and the little icon in the center kept going
00:21:10.792 --> 00:21:13.028
Icon in the center kept going around and around, buffering,
00:21:13.095 --> 00:21:15.731
Around and around, buffering, trying to load.
00:21:15.797 --> 00:21:17.099
Trying to load. i kept watching it,
00:21:17.165 --> 00:21:18.500
I kept watching it, waiting and waiting.
00:21:18.567 --> 00:21:19.968
Waiting and waiting. all it was doing was going
00:21:20.035 --> 00:21:21.403
All it was doing was going in circles.
00:21:21.470 --> 00:21:22.838
In circles. finally, it stopped buffering
00:21:22.904 --> 00:21:24.573
Finally, it stopped buffering after about three minutes,
00:21:24.639 --> 00:21:26.174
After about three minutes, and it said, "lost internet
00:21:26.241 --> 00:21:28.477
And it said, "lost internet connection."
00:21:28.543 --> 00:21:29.778
Connection." when we worry,
00:21:29.845 --> 00:21:31.313
When we worry, it's like we're buffering.
00:21:31.380 --> 00:21:33.248
Our mind is going around
00:21:33.448 --> 00:21:34.816
Our mind is going around in circles.
00:21:34.883 --> 00:21:35.984
In circles. "what are we going to do?
00:21:36.051 --> 00:21:37.419
"what are we going to do? what if it doesn't work out?
00:21:37.486 --> 00:21:38.987
What if it doesn't work out? this obstacle is too big."
00:21:39.054 --> 00:21:40.889
This obstacle is too big." like my phone,
00:21:40.956 --> 00:21:42.157
Like my phone, the problem is
00:21:42.224 --> 00:21:43.558
The problem is you've lost your connection.
00:21:43.625 --> 00:21:45.761
You've lost your connection. you need to reconnect back
00:21:45.827 --> 00:21:47.963
You need to reconnect back to your source.
00:21:48.029 --> 00:21:49.698
To your source. god is saying, "put me
00:21:49.765 --> 00:21:52.167
God is saying, "put me back on the throne.
00:21:52.234 --> 00:21:54.269
Back on the throne. i'm in control of your life.
00:21:54.336 --> 00:21:56.605
I'm in control of your life. i'm directing your steps.
00:21:56.671 --> 00:21:58.340
I'm directing your steps. i already have the solutions.
00:21:58.407 --> 00:22:01.109
I already have the solutions. god has answers,
00:22:01.176 --> 00:22:02.677
God has answers, but when we worry,
00:22:02.744 --> 00:22:04.279
But when we worry, our mind is so cluttered,
00:22:04.346 --> 00:22:06.047
Our mind is so cluttered, we can't hear
00:22:06.114 --> 00:22:06.815
We can't hear what he's saying.
00:22:06.882 --> 00:22:08.350
What he's saying. the scripture says, "be still
00:22:08.417 --> 00:22:10.585
The scripture says, "be still and know that he is god."
00:22:10.652 --> 00:22:12.654
And know that he is god." take the worry
00:22:12.721 --> 00:22:13.455
Take the worry off the throne.
00:22:13.522 --> 00:22:14.723
Off the throne. worry drains your energy,
00:22:14.790 --> 00:22:16.725
Worry drains your energy, takes your creativity,
00:22:16.792 --> 00:22:18.193
Takes your creativity, steals your joy.
00:22:18.260 --> 00:22:20.162
Steals your joy. quit thinking about the
00:22:20.228 --> 00:22:21.196
Quit thinking about the problem and start thanking
00:22:21.263 --> 00:22:23.131
Problem and start thanking god that he's working.
00:22:23.198 --> 00:22:25.167
God that he's working. instead of buffering,
00:22:25.233 --> 00:22:26.601
Instead of buffering, "what if i don't make budget?
00:22:26.668 --> 00:22:28.303
"what if i don't make budget? what if my health
00:22:28.370 --> 00:22:29.037
What if my health doesn't improve?
00:22:29.104 --> 00:22:30.272
Doesn't improve? what if my child
00:22:30.338 --> 00:22:31.039
What if my child gets off course?"
00:22:31.106 --> 00:22:31.740
Gets off course?" here's the difference,
00:22:31.807 --> 00:22:32.841
Here's the difference, "father, thank you that
00:22:32.908 --> 00:22:34.176
"father, thank you that you're restoring health
00:22:34.242 --> 00:22:35.210
You're restoring health back unto me.
00:22:35.277 --> 00:22:36.244
Back unto me. thank you that my seed
00:22:36.311 --> 00:22:37.045
Thank you that my seed will be mighty in the land.
00:22:37.112 --> 00:22:39.014
Thank you that i will lend
00:22:39.281 --> 00:22:40.182
Thank you that i will lend and not borrow."
00:22:40.248 --> 00:22:41.583
And not borrow." what are you doing?
00:22:41.650 --> 00:22:42.684
What are you doing? reconnecting back
00:22:42.751 --> 00:22:44.219
Reconnecting back to your source.
00:22:44.286 --> 00:22:45.887
To your source. the psalmist said,
00:22:45.954 --> 00:22:47.155
The psalmist said, "god inhabits our praises."
00:22:47.222 --> 00:22:49.624
"god inhabits our praises." one version says, "he's
00:22:49.691 --> 00:22:50.992
One version says, "he's enthroned in our praise."
00:22:51.059 --> 00:22:53.195
When you give god praise,
00:22:53.462 --> 00:22:55.163
When you give god praise, you're putting him
00:22:55.230 --> 00:22:56.064
You're putting him on the throne.
00:22:56.131 --> 00:22:57.566
On the throne. friends, life is too short
00:22:57.632 --> 00:22:59.067
Friends, life is too short to live worried,
00:22:59.134 --> 00:23:00.602
To live worried, overwhelmed by problems,
00:23:00.669 --> 00:23:01.970
Overwhelmed by problems, upset because somebody
00:23:02.037 --> 00:23:03.305
Upset because somebody hurt us.
00:23:03.371 --> 00:23:04.005
Hurt us. i'm asking you to take that
00:23:04.072 --> 00:23:05.740
I'm asking you to take that off the throne and put
00:23:05.807 --> 00:23:07.509
Off the throne and put god back on the throne.
00:23:07.576 --> 00:23:09.411
God back on the throne. quit buffering,
00:23:09.478 --> 00:23:10.745
Quit buffering, and start praising.
00:23:10.812 --> 00:23:12.414
And start praising. if you'll keep your mind
00:23:12.481 --> 00:23:13.648
If you'll keep your mind stayed on him, i believe and
00:23:13.715 --> 00:23:16.284
Stayed on him, i believe and declare, like jehoshaphat,
00:23:16.351 --> 00:23:18.854
You're not only going to
00:23:19.054 --> 00:23:20.055
You're not only going to defeat enemies that are
00:23:20.121 --> 00:23:21.356
Defeat enemies that are bigger, but you're going
00:23:21.423 --> 00:23:22.724
Bigger, but you're going to gather up the spoils.
00:23:22.791 --> 00:23:24.793
To gather up the spoils. god is about to increase you
00:23:24.860 --> 00:23:27.095
God is about to increase you in unusual ways.
00:23:27.162 --> 00:23:29.097
In unusual ways. you're going to rise higher,
00:23:29.164 --> 00:23:30.732
You're going to rise higher, accomplish dreams, and reach
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:32.734
Accomplish dreams, and reach the fullness of your destiny,
00:23:32.801 --> 00:23:35.070
The fullness of your destiny, in jesus's name,
00:23:35.136 --> 00:23:36.771
In jesus's name, and if you receive it,
00:23:36.838 --> 00:23:37.739
And if you receive it, can you say amen today?
00:23:37.806 --> 00:23:40.909

Opportunity to make jesus the lord of your life.

The lord of your life. would you pray with me?
00:23:45.747 --> 00:23:47.282
Would you pray with me? just say: "lord jesus,
00:23:47.349 --> 00:23:49.985
Just say: "lord jesus, i repent of my sins.
00:23:50.051 --> 00:23:52.754
I repent of my sins. come into my heart.
00:23:52.821 --> 00:23:54.856
Come into my heart. i make you my lord
00:23:54.923 --> 00:23:56.157
I make you my lord and savior."
00:23:56.224 --> 00:23:58.226
And savior." friends, if you prayed that

Will be right back to speak a blessing over you.
00:24:08.136 --> 00:24:10.005
Fear can be a powerful force
00:24:10.605 --> 00:24:12.941
Fear can be a powerful force and will try to make you feel
00:24:13.008 --> 00:24:14.676
And will try to make you feel alone, stuck, without hope.
00:24:14.743 --> 00:24:17.579
Alone, stuck, without hope. but fear doesn't
00:24:17.646 --> 00:24:18.580
But fear doesn't have to get the final say.
00:24:18.647 --> 00:24:20.382
Have to get the final say. there is a way out.
00:24:20.448 --> 00:24:22.417
There is a way out. fear is a powerful force,
00:24:22.484 --> 00:24:24.019
Fear is a powerful force, but so is faith.
00:24:24.085 --> 00:24:25.353
But so is faith. what we focus on shapes
00:24:25.420 --> 00:24:26.855
What we focus on shapes our reality.
00:24:26.922 --> 00:24:27.989
In my new book, no more fear:
00:24:28.089 --> 00:24:30.058

To silence fear and live boldly in faith and confidence.
00:24:34.763 --> 00:24:36.665
In faith and confidence. just like david said, "though
00:24:36.731 --> 00:24:38.400
Just like david said, "though i walk through the valley,
00:24:38.466 --> 00:24:39.701
I walk through the valley, i will not fear,"
00:24:39.768 --> 00:24:41.269
I will not fear," you too can walk through
00:24:41.336 --> 00:24:42.537

Life's challenges without being paralyzed
00:24:43.738 --> 00:24:44.940
Without being paralyzed by fear.
00:24:45.006 --> 00:24:46.041
By fear. i can't promise you
00:24:46.107 --> 00:24:47.042
I can't promise you you'll never feel fear,
00:24:47.108 --> 00:24:48.677
You'll never feel fear, but i can teach you
00:24:48.743 --> 00:24:49.678
But i can teach you how to rise above it
00:24:49.744 --> 00:24:51.079
How to rise above it by dwelling on what god says,
00:24:51.146 --> 00:24:53.181
By dwelling on what god says, learning to replace
00:24:53.248 --> 00:24:54.316
Learning to replace the anxious thoughts
00:24:54.382 --> 00:24:55.550
The anxious thoughts with faith-filled ones.

With faith-filled ones. you can live
00:24:57.352 --> 00:24:58.086
You can live from a place of peace,
00:24:58.153 --> 00:24:59.454
From a place of peace, power, and purpose.
