- 00:00:41.698 --> 00:00:42.999

- 00:00:43.066 --> 00:00:44.200

- 00:00:44.267 --> 00:00:45.335
- She said, "of course i do. it's the bible."
- 00:00:45.401 --> 00:00:46.769

- He said, "what about that guy that got swallowed by the
- 00:00:48.071 --> 00:00:49.205

- She said, "you mean jonah; yes, i believe that too."
- 00:00:51.574 --> 00:00:53.309

- He said, "well, how could he possibly survive that long
- 00:00:54.310 --> 00:00:56.179

- 00:00:57.547 --> 00:00:58.681
- She thought about it a moment and said, "i don't know.
- 00:00:58.748 --> 00:01:00.016

- 00:01:00.083 --> 00:01:00.917

- I can do what it says i can do.
- 00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:18.401
- I can do. today, i will be taught the
- 00:01:18.468 --> 00:01:20.003

- I want to talk to you today about your time to reign.
- 00:01:33.283 --> 00:01:36.085
- About your time to reign. we weren't created to go
- 00:01:36.152 --> 00:01:37.320
- We weren't created to go through life overcome by
- 00:01:37.387 --> 00:01:38.788
- Through life overcome by problems, struggling to make
- 00:01:38.855 --> 00:01:40.723
- Problems, struggling to make it, in mediocrity.
- 00:01:40.790 --> 00:01:42.692
- It, in mediocrity. god created us to reign,
- 00:01:42.759 --> 00:01:44.794
- God created us to reign, to be the victor and not
- 00:01:44.861 --> 00:01:46.529
- To be the victor and not the victim.
- 00:01:46.596 --> 00:01:47.897
- The victim. he's already lined up moments
- 00:01:47.964 --> 00:01:49.766
- He's already lined up moments of favor, where he's going to
- 00:01:49.832 --> 00:01:51.401
- Of favor, where he's going to make things happen that you
- 00:01:51.467 --> 00:01:52.969
- Make things happen that you couldn't make happen.
- 00:01:53.036 --> 00:01:54.404
- Couldn't make happen. you didn't have the
- 00:01:54.470 --> 00:01:55.138
- You didn't have the experience, but suddenly
- 00:01:55.205 --> 00:01:56.806
- Experience, but suddenly you're promoted.
- 00:01:56.873 --> 00:01:58.174
- You're promoted. the medical report said you
- 00:01:58.241 --> 00:01:59.642
- The medical report said you wouldn't get well but somehow
- 00:01:59.709 --> 00:02:01.411
- Wouldn't get well but somehow your health turned around.
- 00:02:01.477 --> 00:02:03.279
- Your health turned around. your family has struggled for
- 00:02:03.346 --> 00:02:04.480
- Your family has struggled for years but suddenly you come
- 00:02:04.547 --> 00:02:06.449
- Years but suddenly you come into opportunity, promotion,
- 00:02:06.516 --> 00:02:08.718
- Into opportunity, promotion, overflow. that's god causing
- 00:02:08.785 --> 00:02:11.321
- Overflow. that's god causing you to reign.
- 00:02:11.387 --> 00:02:12.722
- You to reign. you may have circumstances
- 00:02:12.789 --> 00:02:14.257
- You may have circumstances that look like they'll never
- 00:02:14.324 --> 00:02:15.191
- That look like they'll never change. it's easy to get
- 00:02:15.258 --> 00:02:16.960
- Change. it's easy to get discouraged and think,
- 00:02:17.026 --> 00:02:18.027
- Discouraged and think, "i'll never get well,
- 00:02:18.094 --> 00:02:19.629
- "i'll never get well, i'll never meet the right
- 00:02:19.696 --> 00:02:20.530
- I'll never meet the right person, i'll never break
- 00:02:20.597 --> 00:02:22.165
- Person, i'll never break this addiction, it's been
- 00:02:22.232 --> 00:02:23.566
- This addiction, it's been too long."
- 00:02:23.633 --> 00:02:24.634
- Too long." it may look permanent, but
- 00:02:24.701 --> 00:02:26.369
- It may look permanent, but god is saying, "it's only
- 00:02:26.436 --> 00:02:27.837
- God is saying, "it's only temporary."
- 00:02:27.904 --> 00:02:29.138
- Temporary." you're about to reign over
- 00:02:29.205 --> 00:02:30.607
- You're about to reign over the addiction, reign over
- 00:02:30.673 --> 00:02:32.775
- The addiction, reign over that depression.
- 00:02:32.842 --> 00:02:34.444
- That depression. the sickness looks like it's
- 00:02:34.510 --> 00:02:35.712
- The sickness looks like it's the end, but you're going to
- 00:02:35.778 --> 00:02:37.013
- The end, but you're going to reign over the cancer, reign
- 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.948
- Reign over the cancer, reign over the heart trouble.
- 00:02:39.015 --> 00:02:40.416
- Over the heart trouble. even now chains are being
- 00:02:40.483 --> 00:02:42.151
- Even now chains are being broken.
- 00:02:42.218 --> 00:02:43.086
- Broken. things that have held you
- 00:02:43.152 --> 00:02:44.120
- Things that have held you back are coming down.
- 00:02:44.187 --> 00:02:45.788
- Back are coming down. new doors are about to open.
- 00:02:45.855 --> 00:02:47.991
- New doors are about to open. healing is flowing into you.
- 00:02:48.057 --> 00:02:49.892
- Healing is flowing into you. i can see fear, depression,
- 00:02:49.959 --> 00:02:52.161
- I can see fear, depression, anxiety lifting off of you.
- 00:02:52.228 --> 00:02:54.697
- Anxiety lifting off of you. this is a new day.
- 00:02:54.764 --> 00:02:56.299
- This is a new day. things that have been
- 00:02:56.366 --> 00:02:57.133
- Things that have been reigning over you,
- 00:02:57.200 --> 00:02:58.334
- Reigning over you, the loneliness, the guilt,
- 00:02:58.401 --> 00:02:59.969
- The loneliness, the guilt, the bad breaks, there's
- 00:03:00.036 --> 00:03:01.437
- The bad breaks, there's about to be a turnaround,
- 00:03:01.504 --> 00:03:03.206
- About to be a turnaround, it's your time to reign.
- 00:03:03.273 --> 00:03:04.774
- It's your time to reign. it's your time to be free,
- 00:03:04.841 --> 00:03:06.576
- It's your time to be free, it's your time to step
- 00:03:06.643 --> 00:03:08.011
- It's your time to step into abundance.
- 00:03:08.077 --> 00:03:09.979
- Into abundance. the scripture says, "god has
- 00:03:10.046 --> 00:03:11.547
- The scripture says, "god has crowned you with favor."
- 00:03:11.614 --> 00:03:13.816
- Crowned you with favor." that crown is symbolic.
- 00:03:13.883 --> 00:03:15.718
- That crown is symbolic. he could have said, "i've
- 00:03:15.785 --> 00:03:16.719
- He could have said, "i've given you favor. i've put
- 00:03:16.786 --> 00:03:18.454
- Given you favor. i've put favor on you."
- 00:03:18.521 --> 00:03:19.522
- Favor on you." that would have been good,
- 00:03:19.589 --> 00:03:20.757
- That would have been good, but he used the word crown
- 00:03:20.823 --> 00:03:22.659
- But he used the word crown to let us know we're
- 00:03:22.725 --> 00:03:24.093
- To let us know we're supposed to reign.
- 00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:25.828
- Supposed to reign. god didn't crown you to
- 00:03:25.895 --> 00:03:27.163
- God didn't crown you to live defeated, burdened
- 00:03:27.230 --> 00:03:28.731
- Live defeated, burdened down by fear, addictions.
- 00:03:28.798 --> 00:03:30.833
- Down by fear, addictions. you are crowned to defeat
- 00:03:30.900 --> 00:03:32.402
- You are crowned to defeat enemies, crowned to take
- 00:03:32.468 --> 00:03:34.170

- 00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.241
- Crowned to succeed, to excel, to leave your mark.
- 00:03:38.308 --> 00:03:40.009

- People trying to pull you down.
- 00:03:46.382 --> 00:03:47.216
- Down. there's about to be a shift,
- 00:03:47.283 --> 00:03:49.085
- There's about to be a shift, a change in authority.
- 00:03:49.152 --> 00:03:50.987
- A change in authority. you're about to reign over
- 00:03:51.054 --> 00:03:52.522
- You're about to reign over what's been reigning over
- 00:03:52.588 --> 00:03:53.589

- Uncle, the king of judah was killed.
- 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:04.801

- She had all of her children and grandchildren killed,
- 00:04:14.510 --> 00:04:16.579
- And grandchildren killed, that way she wouldn't have

- That way she wouldn't have any opposition.
- 00:04:17.747 --> 00:04:19.248
- Any opposition. someone heard what she was
- 00:04:19.315 --> 00:04:20.750

- 00:20:27.482 --> 00:20:29.484
- David wasn't seeking fame, power, notoriety, he was
- 00:20:29.551 --> 00:20:31.553
- Power, notoriety, he was seeking god.
- 00:20:31.620 --> 00:20:33.121
- Seeking god. out in the shepherd's fields,
- 00:20:33.188 --> 00:20:34.323
- Out in the shepherd's fields, he was being his best when no
- 00:20:34.389 --> 00:20:36.325
- He was being his best when no one was watching.
- 00:20:36.391 --> 00:20:37.893
- One was watching. it looked like he was stuck,
- 00:20:37.959 --> 00:20:39.795
- It looked like he was stuck, it was boring, lonely.
- 00:20:39.861 --> 00:20:42.531
- It was boring, lonely. none of the conditions said,
- 00:20:42.597 --> 00:20:44.199
- None of the conditions said, "you're about to be anointed
- 00:20:44.266 --> 00:20:45.467

- David king. i wonder who's about to

- I wonder who's about to receive a knock.
- 00:20:57.145 --> 00:20:58.613
- Receive a knock. who's about to show up at
- 00:20:58.680 --> 00:20:59.848
- Who's about to show up at your door?
- 00:20:59.915 --> 00:21:00.816

- Background to the foreground, something you didn't see
- 00:21:10.525 --> 00:21:11.960

- Coming? samuel came to david, the
- 00:21:13.261 --> 00:21:15.230
- Samuel came to david, the least likely one, the
- 00:21:15.297 --> 00:21:16.998
- Least likely one, the youngest son, out in the
- 00:21:17.065 --> 00:21:18.734
- Youngest son, out in the shepherd's field, an
- 00:21:18.800 --> 00:21:20.268
- Shepherd's field, an insignificant position, but
- 00:21:20.335 --> 00:21:22.404
- Insignificant position, but with that one knock on the

- 00:21:29.945 --> 00:21:31.880
- Field but now it was different.
- 00:21:31.947 --> 00:21:32.881
- Different. when he saw goliath, he
- 00:21:32.948 --> 00:21:34.282
- When he saw goliath, he picked up a stone, put it in
- 00:21:34.349 --> 00:21:35.951

- 00:21:48.663 --> 00:21:49.765
- You don't have to have great talent, great influence,
- 00:21:49.831 --> 00:21:51.400

- His lifetime." i believe one reason god
- 00:22:12.387 --> 00:22:14.055
- I believe one reason god crowned him at such an early
- 00:22:14.122 --> 00:22:16.258
- Crowned him at such an early age is god knew he could
- 00:22:16.324 --> 00:22:18.059

- 00:22:32.874 --> 00:22:34.810
- Mistakes, but he had a desire to honor god.
- 00:22:34.876 --> 00:22:36.478
- To honor god. when god can trust you, when
- 00:22:36.545 --> 00:22:38.547
- When god can trust you, when he knows he can count on you
- 00:22:38.613 --> 00:22:40.048

- Right way, then there's no limit to where god will take
- 00:22:45.987 --> 00:22:47.689
- Limit to where god will take you.
- 00:22:47.756 --> 00:22:48.723
- You. you don't have to be perfect,
