To glory. we sang about it a few
00:00:12.035 --> 00:00:13.036
We sang about it a few minutes ago, how he wants us

Minutes ago, how he wants us to take us from glory to
00:00:14.938 --> 00:00:15.972

00:00:16.906 --> 00:00:18.942
He want us to go higher and higher but sometimes when

Higher but sometimes when we're trying to get higher,
00:00:22.145 --> 00:00:23.346
We're trying to get higher, we're trying to go to more
00:00:23.413 --> 00:00:26.249
We're trying to go to more strength, we're trying to get
00:00:26.316 --> 00:00:27.717
Strength, we're trying to get through, we find that we're

Through, we find that we're going from struggle to
00:00:29.786 --> 00:00:32.055
Going from struggle to struggle.
00:00:32.122 --> 00:00:32.956
Struggle. see, god doesn't want us to
00:00:33.022 --> 00:00:34.090
See, god doesn't want us to go from struggle to struggle.
00:00:34.157 --> 00:00:35.992
Go from struggle to struggle. his intention is for us to go
00:00:36.059 --> 00:00:38.361
His intention is for us to go from strength to strength.
00:00:38.428 --> 00:00:40.630
From strength to strength. and can i tell you today, we
00:00:40.697 --> 00:00:42.799
And can i tell you today, we all face this challenge?
00:00:42.866 --> 00:00:44.834
All face this challenge? one day we're doing good, the
00:00:44.901 --> 00:00:46.402
One day we're doing good, the next day we're struggling.
00:00:46.469 --> 00:00:48.004
Next day we're struggling. we're trying to get out of a
00:00:48.071 --> 00:00:49.038
We're trying to get out of a situation.
00:00:49.105 --> 00:00:50.106
Situation. we're trying to get to
00:00:50.173 --> 00:00:50.907
We're trying to get to another situation.
00:00:50.974 --> 00:00:52.509
Another situation. maybe if you're struggling
00:00:52.575 --> 00:00:53.843
Maybe if you're struggling today, you need to hear this
00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:54.978
Today, you need to hear this one word, "rest," just rest.
00:00:55.044 --> 00:01:00.116
One word, "rest," just rest. see, the truth is, we're
00:01:00.183 --> 00:01:01.784
See, the truth is, we're gonna get to where god wants
00:01:01.851 --> 00:01:03.119
Gonna get to where god wants us to be if we're honoring
00:01:03.186 --> 00:01:05.054
Us to be if we're honoring him, if we put him first
00:01:05.121 --> 00:01:06.890
Him, if we put him first place, if we take time to get
00:01:06.956 --> 00:01:10.360
Place, if we take time to get his plans and his words in
00:01:10.426 --> 00:01:12.028
His plans and his words in our heart and in our life.
00:01:12.095 --> 00:01:14.364
Our heart and in our life. we're not going to get to
00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:15.598
We're not going to get to where we need to be any
00:01:15.665 --> 00:01:16.633
Where we need to be any quicker if we worry, if we
00:01:16.699 --> 00:01:18.968
Quicker if we worry, if we struggle, or if we're
00:01:19.035 --> 00:01:20.136
Struggle, or if we're frustrated.
00:01:20.203 --> 00:01:21.571
Frustrated. so today, i just want to say
00:01:21.638 --> 00:01:23.273
So today, i just want to say if you find yourself
00:01:23.339 --> 00:01:24.474
If you find yourself struggling, rest.
00:01:24.541 --> 00:01:27.243
Struggling, rest. rest in god's peace.
00:01:27.310 --> 00:01:29.646
Rest in god's peace. abide in his joy, that's
00:01:29.712 --> 00:01:32.348
Abide in his joy, that's where you're gonna find your
00:01:32.415 --> 00:01:33.316
Where you're gonna find your strength.
00:01:33.383 --> 00:01:33.983
Strength. that is where you are going
00:01:34.050 --> 00:01:36.119
That is where you are going to endure and find great
00:01:36.186 --> 00:01:38.721
To endure and find great persistence.
00:01:38.788 --> 00:01:39.589
Persistence. god is always trying to get
00:01:39.656 --> 00:01:42.525
God is always trying to get us higher so we're always
00:01:42.592 --> 00:01:44.360
Us higher so we're always going to be facing something
00:01:44.427 --> 00:01:46.496
Going to be facing something in our life.
00:01:46.563 --> 00:01:47.197
In our life. listen to what it says in
00:01:47.263 --> 00:01:48.498
Listen to what it says in james 1:4 it says, "consider
00:01:48.565 --> 00:01:50.833
James 1:4 it says, "consider it all joy when you go
00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:53.036
It all joy when you go through trials of many
00:01:53.102 --> 00:01:54.804
Through trials of many kinds," many kinds, a variety
00:01:54.871 --> 00:01:58.341
Kinds," many kinds, a variety of trials, coming from
00:01:58.408 --> 00:02:00.210
Of trials, coming from different places.
00:02:00.276 --> 00:02:01.811
Different places. we're to count it all joy
00:02:01.878 --> 00:02:03.379
We're to count it all joy when we face trials.
00:02:03.446 --> 00:02:05.481
When we face trials. see, trials is what causes us
00:02:05.548 --> 00:02:07.116
See, trials is what causes us to struggle but god is
00:02:07.183 --> 00:02:09.485
To struggle but god is saying, "count it all joy."
00:02:09.552 --> 00:02:12.855
Saying, "count it all joy." in this version that i'm
00:02:12.922 --> 00:02:14.524
In this version that i'm reading it says, "consider it
00:02:14.591 --> 00:02:17.026
Reading it says, "consider it all joy."
00:02:17.093 --> 00:02:17.694
All joy." see, our trials were never
00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:21.231
See, our trials were never meant to decrease us.
00:02:21.297 --> 00:02:24.133
Meant to decrease us. they were meant to increase
00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:25.368
They were meant to increase us.
00:02:25.435 --> 00:02:26.169
Us. they were not meant to tear
00:02:26.236 --> 00:02:27.503
They were not meant to tear our faith down, they were
00:02:27.570 --> 00:02:28.972
Our faith down, they were meant to build our faith up.
00:02:29.038 --> 00:02:31.674
Meant to build our faith up. trials were meant to produce
00:02:31.741 --> 00:02:35.812
Trials were meant to produce perseverance in us.
00:02:35.878 --> 00:02:37.447
Perseverance in us. see, that scripture goes on
00:02:37.513 --> 00:02:38.514
See, that scripture goes on to say that we won't be
00:02:38.581 --> 00:02:40.316
To say that we won't be lacking anything, that there
00:02:40.383 --> 00:02:42.352
Lacking anything, that there may be a trial of our faith,
00:02:42.418 --> 00:02:44.520
May be a trial of our faith, but it's gonna lead us to
00:02:44.587 --> 00:02:45.622
But it's gonna lead us to good.
00:02:45.688 --> 00:02:47.090
Good. it's not going to tear us
00:02:47.156 --> 00:02:48.291
It's not going to tear us down.
00:02:48.358 --> 00:02:49.659
Down. the key to counting it all
00:02:49.726 --> 00:02:51.594
The key to counting it all joy is joy.
00:02:51.661 --> 00:02:54.297
Joy is joy. the joy of the lord is our
00:02:54.364 --> 00:02:56.032
The joy of the lord is our strength.
00:02:56.099 --> 00:02:57.333
Strength. we don't find the joy in the
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.402
We don't find the joy in the trial.
00:02:59.469 --> 00:03:00.637
Trial. we don't find the joy in the
00:03:00.703 --> 00:03:01.704
We don't find the joy in the pain.
00:03:01.771 --> 00:03:03.039
Pain. we are supposed to find the
00:03:03.106 --> 00:03:04.307
We are supposed to find the joy in the god who is the
00:03:04.374 --> 00:03:06.676
Joy in the god who is the source of all strength, the
00:03:06.743 --> 00:03:09.112
Source of all strength, the god who is in control of it
00:03:09.178 --> 00:03:11.080
God who is in control of it all.
00:03:11.147 --> 00:03:12.148
All. when we are walking through a
00:03:12.215 --> 00:03:13.549
When we are walking through a difficulty, we are supposed
00:03:13.616 --> 00:03:15.885
Difficulty, we are supposed to look for god, not look at
00:03:15.952 --> 00:03:17.987
To look for god, not look at the difficulty.
00:03:18.054 --> 00:03:19.455
The difficulty. we're to count it all joy.
00:03:19.522 --> 00:03:22.325
We're to count it all joy. happiness comes and goes.
00:03:22.392 --> 00:03:24.327
Happiness comes and goes. excitement is here.
00:03:24.394 --> 00:03:25.495
Excitement is here. vacations come, they go but
00:03:25.561 --> 00:03:28.197
Vacations come, they go but joy is supposed to abide in
00:03:28.264 --> 00:03:29.766
Joy is supposed to abide in us.
00:03:29.832 --> 00:03:30.466
Us. joy lives in us.
00:03:30.533 --> 00:03:32.669
Joy lives in us. joy is a gift from almighty
00:03:32.735 --> 00:03:34.704
Joy is a gift from almighty god.
00:03:34.771 --> 00:03:36.572
God. you know, sometimes when
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:37.707
You know, sometimes when we're going through a trial
00:03:37.774 --> 00:03:39.142
We're going through a trial or a test, we think, this is
00:03:39.208 --> 00:03:42.245
Or a test, we think, this is isn't joyful.
00:03:42.312 --> 00:03:43.546
Isn't joyful. i can tell ya, joy is not the
00:03:43.613 --> 00:03:45.114
I can tell ya, joy is not the word that comes to me when
00:03:45.181 --> 00:03:46.249
Word that comes to me when i'm facing a difficulty.
00:03:46.316 --> 00:03:47.450
I'm facing a difficulty. i just have to admit it right
00:03:47.517 --> 00:03:48.685
I just have to admit it right now.
00:03:48.751 --> 00:03:49.686
Now. i think the scripture should
00:03:49.752 --> 00:03:50.853
I think the scripture should say, when you get through the
00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:52.522
Say, when you get through the difficulty, that's when you
00:03:52.588 --> 00:03:53.890
Difficulty, that's when you can throw your hands up in
00:03:53.956 --> 00:03:54.891
Can throw your hands up in the air and you can say,
00:03:54.957 --> 00:03:56.259
The air and you can say, "finally i can have some joy.
00:03:56.326 --> 00:03:58.394
"finally i can have some joy. i can have some relief."
00:03:58.461 --> 00:04:01.464
I can have some relief." but see, the scripture
00:04:01.531 --> 00:04:02.465
But see, the scripture doesn't say that.
00:04:02.532 --> 00:04:04.400
Doesn't say that. it says we are to consider it
00:04:04.467 --> 00:04:06.669
It says we are to consider it all joy.
00:04:06.736 --> 00:04:09.372
All joy. we're to--that tells me right
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.074
We're to--that tells me right now that when i'm facing a
00:04:11.140 --> 00:04:12.642
Now that when i'm facing a difficulty, i have a choice.
00:04:12.709 --> 00:04:16.012
Difficulty, i have a choice. i can consider it joy or i
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:17.847
I can consider it joy or i can consider it hardship and
00:04:17.914 --> 00:04:20.016
Can consider it hardship and if i consider it hardship,
00:04:20.083 --> 00:04:21.551
If i consider it hardship, and difficulty, and misery,
00:04:21.617 --> 00:04:23.453
And difficulty, and misery, and start walking down that
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:24.587
And start walking down that road, i'm gonna begin to
00:04:24.654 --> 00:04:25.621
Road, i'm gonna begin to complain and i'm going to
00:04:25.688 --> 00:04:27.824
Complain and i'm going to lose any joy i ever had.
00:04:27.890 --> 00:04:30.526
Lose any joy i ever had. but when i consider the god,
00:04:30.593 --> 00:04:33.429
But when i consider the god, the god who has all power,
00:04:33.496 --> 00:04:35.665
The god who has all power, the god who has allowed me to
00:04:35.732 --> 00:04:37.300
The god who has allowed me to face a trial to bring
00:04:37.367 --> 00:04:39.102
Face a trial to bring something good out of me.
00:04:39.168 --> 00:04:42.405
Something good out of me. see, if we're gonna count it
00:04:42.472 --> 00:04:43.506
See, if we're gonna count it all joy, the only way to do
00:04:43.573 --> 00:04:45.808
All joy, the only way to do that is to count it all god
00:04:45.875 --> 00:04:48.811
That is to count it all god and if we're gonna count it
00:04:48.878 --> 00:04:49.779
And if we're gonna count it all god, we gotta know there
00:04:49.846 --> 00:04:52.582
All god, we gotta know there is good in this trial.
00:04:52.648 --> 00:04:54.484
The decision is to find the
00:04:56.886 --> 00:04:58.788
The decision is to find the good, not the bad.
00:04:58.855 --> 00:05:01.257
Good, not the bad. the decision is to begin to
00:05:01.324 --> 00:05:03.059
The decision is to begin to look for the good.
00:05:03.126 --> 00:05:05.161
Look for the good. and you know what i've
00:05:05.228 --> 00:05:06.028
And you know what i've discovered, i've discovered
00:05:06.095 --> 00:05:07.330
Discovered, i've discovered that most of the time, god
00:05:07.397 --> 00:05:09.332
That most of the time, god wants me to find the good in
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:10.933
Wants me to find the good in myself.
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:12.468
Myself. he wants me to mine the gold
00:05:12.535 --> 00:05:15.471
He wants me to mine the gold within me.
00:05:15.538 --> 00:05:16.739
Within me. you see, he is refining us
00:05:16.806 --> 00:05:20.009
You see, he is refining us into pure gold.
00:05:20.076 --> 00:05:22.311
Into pure gold. it says that he wants us to
00:05:22.378 --> 00:05:23.646
It says that he wants us to lack no good thing, to be
00:05:23.713 --> 00:05:26.849
Lack no good thing, to be ready and able to persevere
00:05:26.916 --> 00:05:30.820
Ready and able to persevere in this life.
00:05:30.887 --> 00:05:32.121
In this life. you see, if we're gonna go
00:05:32.188 --> 00:05:32.922
You see, if we're gonna go higher and higher, we're
00:05:32.989 --> 00:05:34.323
Higher and higher, we're always gonna be facing
00:05:34.390 --> 00:05:35.324
Always gonna be facing something because the only
00:05:35.391 --> 00:05:37.126
Something because the only way to go higher is to step
00:05:37.193 --> 00:05:39.862
Way to go higher is to step up.
00:05:39.929 --> 00:05:40.797
Up. see, what are you stepping
00:05:40.863 --> 00:05:42.165
See, what are you stepping over or stepping up to today?
00:05:42.231 --> 00:05:45.401
Over or stepping up to today? are you taking those
00:05:45.468 --> 00:05:46.436
Are you taking those difficulties to god?
00:05:46.502 --> 00:05:49.138
Difficulties to god? are you saying, "god, help me
00:05:49.205 --> 00:05:50.339
Are you saying, "god, help me find your strength, be my

Or are you trying to do it on your own?
00:05:55.344 --> 00:05:56.746
Your own? see, when we do it on our
00:05:56.813 --> 00:05:57.780
See, when we do it on our own, that's when we struggle
00:05:57.847 --> 00:06:00.683
Own, that's when we struggle but when we realize, when we
00:06:00.750 --> 00:06:02.718
But when we realize, when we tap into this joy, we tap
00:06:02.785 --> 00:06:05.621
Tap into this joy, we tap into god, that's when we find
00:06:05.688 --> 00:06:08.324
Into god, that's when we find our source of strength.
00:06:08.391 --> 00:06:10.359
Our source of strength. see, there is something
00:06:10.426 --> 00:06:11.461
See, there is something called willpower and we all
00:06:11.527 --> 00:06:13.663
Called willpower and we all like to think we have it, and
00:06:13.729 --> 00:06:15.565

00:06:15.631 --> 00:06:18.634
We all want to use it. but let me tell you, when
00:06:18.701 --> 00:06:20.036
But let me tell you, when you're facing a difficulty
00:06:20.102 --> 00:06:21.804
You're facing a difficulty and god's got you on a upward
00:06:21.871 --> 00:06:23.306
And god's got you on a upward plain, it's gonna take more
00:06:23.372 --> 00:06:24.874
Plain, it's gonna take more than your willpower.
00:06:24.941 --> 00:06:26.342
Than your willpower. it's gonna take god's power.
00:06:26.409 --> 00:06:28.611
It's gonna take god's power. it's gonna take god's power
00:06:28.678 --> 00:06:30.713
It's gonna take god's power to bring you to the places
00:06:30.780 --> 00:06:32.381
To bring you to the places that he wants to take you.

That he wants to take you. don't struggle on your own.
00:06:34.750 --> 00:06:37.153
Don't struggle on your own. realize the joy of the lord
00:06:37.220 --> 00:06:39.555
Realize the joy of the lord is his calm delight.
00:06:39.622 --> 00:06:41.791
Is his calm delight. it's the rest in him.
00:06:41.858 --> 00:06:43.493
It's the rest in him. it's the peace in him.
00:06:43.559 --> 00:06:46.095
It's the peace in him. do you know it's very
00:06:46.162 --> 00:06:47.230
Do you know it's very interesting what we believe
00:06:47.296 --> 00:06:49.265
Interesting what we believe about our circumstance will
00:06:49.332 --> 00:06:51.133
About our circumstance will ultimately cause us to either
00:06:51.200 --> 00:06:54.103
Ultimately cause us to either come out tattered and torn,
00:06:54.170 --> 00:06:57.406
Come out tattered and torn, beaten and bruised, or built
00:06:57.473 --> 00:06:59.408
Beaten and bruised, or built up.
00:06:59.475 --> 00:07:00.076
Up. 'cause see, we, we just want
00:07:00.142 --> 00:07:02.445
'cause see, we, we just want to get through those
00:07:02.512 --> 00:07:03.913
To get through those difficulties.
00:07:03.980 --> 00:07:05.014
Difficulties. we're waiting for them to be
00:07:05.081 --> 00:07:06.148
We're waiting for them to be over, but god is looking at
00:07:06.215 --> 00:07:09.652
Over, but god is looking at what we are like when they're
00:07:09.719 --> 00:07:12.255
What we are like when they're over.
00:07:12.321 --> 00:07:12.922
Over. he is saying, "how did they
00:07:12.989 --> 00:07:15.458
He is saying, "how did they develop?
00:07:15.525 --> 00:07:16.125
Develop? how did they grow?
00:07:16.192 --> 00:07:17.793
How did they grow? what's their attitude?
00:07:17.860 --> 00:07:19.228
What's their attitude? where can i take 'em now?"
00:07:19.295 --> 00:07:21.564
Where can i take 'em now?" see, god wants us to pass the
00:07:21.631 --> 00:07:22.899
See, god wants us to pass the test.
00:07:22.965 --> 00:07:23.566
Test. that is any good teacher
00:07:23.633 --> 00:07:26.602
That is any good teacher wants you to pass the test.
00:07:26.669 --> 00:07:27.837
Wants you to pass the test. they don't give you a test to
00:07:27.904 --> 00:07:29.805
They don't give you a test to fail, they give you a test to
00:07:29.872 --> 00:07:31.841
Fail, they give you a test to see what you've learned from
00:07:31.908 --> 00:07:33.342
See what you've learned from them.
00:07:33.409 --> 00:07:34.477
Them. and god is saying, "i want
00:07:34.544 --> 00:07:36.212
And god is saying, "i want you to pass the test.
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:37.680
You to pass the test. i want you to wise up.

I want you to wise up. i want you to have

I want you to have perseverance."
00:07:41.584 --> 00:07:42.985
Perseverance." that's what the intention of
00:07:43.052 --> 00:07:44.754
That's what the intention of these trials are to give us,
00:07:44.820 --> 00:07:46.856
These trials are to give us, perseverance, to train us, to
00:07:46.923 --> 00:07:49.659
Perseverance, to train us, to bring out the good in us, the
00:07:49.725 --> 00:07:52.228
Bring out the good in us, the god in us.
00:07:52.295 --> 00:07:54.463
God in us. see, that's why the enemy
00:07:54.530 --> 00:07:55.531
See, that's why the enemy works so hard to steal our
00:07:55.598 --> 00:07:56.666
Works so hard to steal our joy because he knows if we're
00:07:56.732 --> 00:07:58.801
Joy because he knows if we're looking everywhere else, if
00:07:58.868 --> 00:08:00.536
Looking everywhere else, if we're blaming our friends,
00:08:00.603 --> 00:08:02.939
We're blaming our friends, it's all about our husband,
00:08:03.005 --> 00:08:04.574
It's all about our husband, it's about the difficult at
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:05.875
It's about the difficult at work, when we're looking to
00:08:05.942 --> 00:08:07.476
Work, when we're looking to lay blame on everyone else,
00:08:07.543 --> 00:08:09.679
Lay blame on everyone else, we forget to look within us.
00:08:09.745 --> 00:08:13.482
We forget to look within us. we look at the problem.
00:08:13.549 --> 00:08:15.051
We look at the problem. we're chasing the problem
00:08:15.117 --> 00:08:16.953
We're chasing the problem instead of chasing the
00:08:17.019 --> 00:08:17.820
Instead of chasing the promise.
00:08:17.887 --> 00:08:19.055
Promise. the promise is in us.
00:08:19.121 --> 00:08:21.857
The promise is in us. god has put everything we
00:08:21.924 --> 00:08:23.526
God has put everything we need to accomplish on the
00:08:23.593 --> 00:08:25.294
Need to accomplish on the inside of us, we just gotta
00:08:25.361 --> 00:08:26.996
Inside of us, we just gotta dig it out.
00:08:27.063 --> 00:08:27.897
Dig it out. we gotta find it.
00:08:27.964 --> 00:08:29.865
We gotta find it. we have got to believe that
00:08:29.932 --> 00:08:31.968
We have got to believe that this joy is for us to give us
00:08:32.034 --> 00:08:34.503
This joy is for us to give us strength.
00:08:34.570 --> 00:08:35.838

Through it, grow through it. that's what god's saying.
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.861
That's what god's saying. grow through it.

Unworthy or believing you can't make it?
00:09:15.778 --> 00:09:16.445
Can't make it? see, no hope, and no faith,

And no joy will rise with those kind of thoughts.
00:09:22.284 --> 00:09:22.985

Average people, not mediocre. i'm looking at children of

I'm looking at children of the most high god.
00:14:19.481 --> 00:14:21.083
The most high god. i love how it says in
00:14:21.150 --> 00:14:22.484
I love how it says in ephesians that god handpicked
00:14:22.551 --> 00:14:25.087
Ephesians that god handpicked you.
00:14:25.154 --> 00:14:26.088
You. he didn't just say, "let me

He didn't just say, "let me just choose this whole

Just choose this whole group."
00:14:27.790 --> 00:14:28.390
Group." no, he looked into your eyes,
00:14:28.457 --> 00:14:29.191
No, he looked into your eyes, and your eyes and he said,
00:14:29.258 --> 00:14:30.693
And your eyes and he said, "who can i trust in 2016 to

"who can i trust in 2016 to carry out my will?"

Carry out my will?" and god has chosen each one
00:14:34.063 --> 00:14:35.764
And god has chosen each one of us.
00:14:35.831 --> 00:14:36.432
Of us. we are here as people of
00:14:36.498 --> 00:14:37.366
We are here as people of destiny.
00:14:37.433 --> 00:14:38.100
Destiny. let me tell ya, god has
00:14:38.167 --> 00:14:40.469
Let me tell ya, god has equipped you and empowered
00:14:40.536 --> 00:14:42.705
Equipped you and empowered you with everything you need
00:14:42.771 --> 00:14:43.906
You with everything you need to fulfill your destiny, not
00:14:43.973 --> 00:14:45.674
To fulfill your destiny, not only that, god has armed you
00:14:45.741 --> 00:14:47.476
Only that, god has armed you with strength for every
00:14:47.543 --> 00:14:48.610
With strength for every battle, that means you'll
00:14:48.677 --> 00:14:50.079
Battle, that means you'll never face something that's
00:14:50.145 --> 00:14:51.313
Never face something that's too big for you to handle.
00:14:51.380 --> 00:14:53.082
Too big for you to handle. you have the most powerful
00:14:53.148 --> 00:14:54.516
You have the most powerful force in the universe
00:14:54.583 --> 00:14:56.318
Force in the universe breathing in your direction
00:14:56.385 --> 00:14:57.653

00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:58.787
Right now. and i love what, you know,
00:14:58.854 --> 00:15:00.422
And i love what, you know, sometimes things come against
00:15:00.489 --> 00:15:01.857
Sometimes things come against us but think about when god
00:15:01.924 --> 00:15:03.225
Us but think about when god gave abraham the promise that
00:15:03.292 --> 00:15:05.627
Gave abraham the promise that he and sarah were gonna have
00:15:05.694 --> 00:15:06.762
He and sarah were gonna have a baby and they were way too
00:15:06.829 --> 00:15:08.430
A baby and they were way too old, like 80 years old.
00:15:08.497 --> 00:15:09.765
Old, like 80 years old. in the natural, it was
00:15:09.832 --> 00:15:10.599
In the natural, it was impossible but the scripture
00:15:10.666 --> 00:15:12.434
Impossible but the scripture says abraham considered not
00:15:12.501 --> 00:15:15.704
Says abraham considered not the weakness of his own body,
00:15:15.771 --> 00:15:17.906
The weakness of his own body, nor the deadness of sarah's
00:15:17.973 --> 00:15:19.208
Nor the deadness of sarah's womb.
00:15:19.274 --> 00:15:20.509
Womb. sometimes when god puts a
00:15:20.576 --> 00:15:21.710
Sometimes when god puts a promise in our life, in our
00:15:21.777 --> 00:15:23.479
Promise in our life, in our heart, you know, there's no
00:15:23.545 --> 00:15:24.880
Heart, you know, there's no way in the natural.
00:15:24.947 --> 00:15:26.148
Way in the natural. i mean, you know, the medical
00:15:26.215 --> 00:15:27.349
I mean, you know, the medical report may say you're not
00:15:27.416 --> 00:15:28.384
Report may say you're not gonna get well, or you're
00:15:28.450 --> 00:15:29.718
Gonna get well, or you're never gonna get out of debt,
00:15:29.785 --> 00:15:30.853
Never gonna get out of debt, the financial report.
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:32.287
The financial report. but we have to do what
00:15:32.354 --> 00:15:33.188
But we have to do what abraham and consider not the
00:15:33.255 --> 00:15:35.758
Abraham and consider not the negative reports.
00:15:35.824 --> 00:15:37.192
Negative reports. maybe you have to consider
00:15:37.259 --> 00:15:38.260
Maybe you have to consider not what somebody told ya you
00:15:38.327 --> 00:15:39.561
Not what somebody told ya you couldn't become.
00:15:39.628 --> 00:15:40.529
Couldn't become. you have to turn that off and
00:15:40.596 --> 00:15:41.730
You have to turn that off and say, "god, i know you're on
00:15:41.797 --> 00:15:43.065
Say, "god, i know you're on the throne.
00:15:43.132 --> 00:15:43.999
The throne. it may not be possible in the
00:15:44.066 --> 00:15:45.401
It may not be possible in the natural, but you're a
00:15:45.467 --> 00:15:46.535
Natural, but you're a supernatural god."
00:15:46.602 --> 00:15:47.636
Supernatural god." sometimes it's just our own
00:15:47.703 --> 00:15:50.706
Sometimes it's just our own doubts, you know, we have the
00:15:50.773 --> 00:15:52.908
Doubts, you know, we have the wrong recording playing
00:15:52.975 --> 00:15:54.076
Wrong recording playing sometime and, you know, just,
00:15:54.143 --> 00:15:55.177
Sometime and, you know, just, you know, you're never
00:15:55.244 --> 00:15:56.145
You know, you're never accomplish your dream, never
00:15:56.211 --> 00:15:57.279
Accomplish your dream, never gonna break that addiction.
00:15:57.346 --> 00:15:58.647
Gonna break that addiction. why don't you turn that
00:15:58.714 --> 00:15:59.448
Why don't you turn that recording off and start
00:15:59.515 --> 00:16:01.316
Recording off and start saying what god says about
00:16:01.383 --> 00:16:02.651
Saying what god says about you that, "i am strong, i am
00:16:02.718 --> 00:16:04.153
You that, "i am strong, i am free, i am redeemed, i can do
00:16:04.219 --> 00:16:06.388
Free, i am redeemed, i can do all things through christ."
00:16:06.455 --> 00:16:07.489
All things through christ." let me tell ya, god's gonna
00:16:07.556 --> 00:16:09.324
Let me tell ya, god's gonna take ya places that you've
00:16:09.391 --> 00:16:10.359

You get your life in agreement with his and it
00:16:13.695 --> 00:16:14.930
Agreement with his and it starts in our thoughts
00:16:14.997 --> 00:16:15.964
Starts in our thoughts saying, "you know what?
00:16:16.031 --> 00:16:17.099
Saying, "you know what? you know, it looks impossible
00:16:17.166 --> 00:16:18.333
You know, it looks impossible in the natural, but god, you
00:16:18.400 --> 00:16:20.002
In the natural, but god, you can do the impossible.
00:16:20.069 --> 00:16:21.603
Can do the impossible. you're a supernatural god."
00:16:21.670 --> 00:16:22.738
You're a supernatural god." as you get your, you know, as
00:16:22.805 --> 00:16:24.006
As you get your, you know, as you take the limits off of
00:16:24.073 --> 00:16:25.174
You take the limits off of god, that's what allows him
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:26.975
God, that's what allows him to open doors that no man can
00:16:27.042 --> 00:16:28.510
To open doors that no man can shut.
00:16:28.577 --> 00:16:29.178
