  • 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
  • Enemies, crowned to take your family to a new level,
  • 00:03:34.237 --> 00:03:35.972
  • Your family to a new level, crowned to succeed, to excel,
  • 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
  • To leave your mark. anything negative that's been
  • 00:03:40.076 --> 00:03:41.711
  • Anything negative that's been reigning over you,
  • 00:03:41.778 --> 00:03:43.079

  • 00:03:45.148 --> 00:03:46.316
  • 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

  • Joash was only seven years old.
  • 00:18:13.515 --> 00:18:14.249

  • Fighting for him, protecting him, favoring him.
  • 00:18:17.719 --> 00:18:19.521
  • Him, favoring him. it's because he was a king's
  • 00:18:19.588 --> 00:18:21.557
  • It's because he was a king's son and it was his time to
  • 00:18:21.623 --> 00:18:23.892
  • Son and it was his time to reign.

  • He's not waiting for the conditions to be favorable.
  • 00:18:41.076 --> 00:18:43.245
  • Conditions to be favorable. the scripture says, "even in
