It ever happened and warned him that if he

Dark, devastating, in a dungeon, a good man

In a dungeon, a good man is having bad things.
00:05:30.677 --> 00:05:32.546
Is having bad things. he's in the king's palace.

He's in the king's palace. this is even worse.

This is even worse. he's in the king's palace.

The dungeon in the king's palace.
00:05:39.386 --> 00:05:42.556
The king's palace. it's one thing when
00:05:42.623 --> 00:05:43.824
It's one thing when you're not a king's kid.
00:05:43.891 --> 00:05:46.960
You're not a king's kid. it's one thing when you're
00:05:47.027 --> 00:05:47.694
It's one thing when you're going through stuff and you
00:05:47.761 --> 00:05:48.896
Going through stuff and you don't belong to the king,
00:05:48.962 --> 00:05:51.432
Don't belong to the king, but it's when you're in
00:05:51.498 --> 00:05:52.299
But it's when you're in his house and you feel like
00:05:52.366 --> 00:05:54.435
His house and you feel like you're in the dungeon.
00:05:54.501 --> 00:05:57.671
You're in the dungeon. sometimes, we don't understand
00:05:57.738 --> 00:05:59.239
Sometimes, we don't understand when bad gets good things
00:05:59.306 --> 00:06:01.208
When bad gets good things and good gets bad things,
00:06:01.275 --> 00:06:03.844
And good gets bad things, but it happens.
00:06:03.911 --> 00:06:05.679
But it happens. and in that situation,
00:06:05.746 --> 00:06:07.781
And in that situation, that's when the word of the lord
00:06:07.848 --> 00:06:10.484
That's when the word of the lord came to him, i'm reading it
00:06:10.551 --> 00:06:11.518
Came to him, i'm reading it right in text.
00:06:11.585 --> 00:06:13.687
Right in text. and the lord said,
00:06:13.754 --> 00:06:15.022
And the lord said, "now, your uncle's
00:06:15.088 --> 00:06:16.156
"now, your uncle's about to show up with
00:06:16.223 --> 00:06:17.157
About to show up with a real estate contract
00:06:17.224 --> 00:06:19.159
A real estate contract and i want you to --
00:06:19.226 --> 00:06:20.627
And i want you to -- i want you to buy it.
00:06:20.694 --> 00:06:21.795
I want you to buy it. i want you to buy the land
00:06:21.862 --> 00:06:22.863
I want you to buy the land that he's offering you."
00:06:22.930 --> 00:06:24.064
That he's offering you." how ridiculous.
00:06:24.131 --> 00:06:26.233
How ridiculous. the enemy is outside,
00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:28.368
The enemy is outside, the land has been taken,
00:06:28.435 --> 00:06:29.636
The land has been taken, the homes have been burned,
00:06:29.703 --> 00:06:30.938
The homes have been burned, the city's about
00:06:31.004 --> 00:06:31.805
The city's about to be decimated,
00:06:31.872 --> 00:06:33.207
To be decimated, and everybody's selling,
00:06:33.273 --> 00:06:36.043
And everybody's selling, nobody's buying,
00:06:36.109 --> 00:06:37.878
Nobody's buying, and god says to him
00:06:37.945 --> 00:06:39.213
And god says to him in the lowest,
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:40.714
In the lowest, most unbelievable conditions,
00:06:40.781 --> 00:06:44.418
Most unbelievable conditions, "buy into the fact that
00:06:44.485 --> 00:06:48.222
"buy into the fact that better is coming in the place
00:06:48.288 --> 00:06:50.390
Better is coming in the place that looks like nothing
00:06:50.457 --> 00:06:51.425
That looks like nothing but bad is happening.
00:06:51.492 --> 00:06:54.628
But bad is happening. your conditions
00:06:54.695 --> 00:06:56.029
Your conditions are going to change.
00:06:56.096 --> 00:06:57.631
Are going to change. and they don't know it,
00:06:57.698 --> 00:06:59.266
And they don't know it, but i want you to do this
00:06:59.333 --> 00:07:01.401
But i want you to do this in front of all the prisoners
00:07:01.468 --> 00:07:05.038
In front of all the prisoners who are in the same
00:07:05.105 --> 00:07:05.839
Who are in the same condition you're in.
00:07:05.906 --> 00:07:07.140
Condition you're in. i wanna teach people what
00:07:07.207 --> 00:07:08.475
I wanna teach people what they are to do when it
00:07:08.542 --> 00:07:10.611
They are to do when it looks like everything
00:07:10.677 --> 00:07:13.280
Looks like everything is gone and they're in
00:07:13.347 --> 00:07:16.483
Is gone and they're in the lowest place they've ever
00:07:16.550 --> 00:07:17.918
The lowest place they've ever been in their life."
00:07:17.985 --> 00:07:18.952
Been in their life." that's when you don't
00:07:19.019 --> 00:07:21.188
That's when you don't buy in to the bad,
00:07:21.255 --> 00:07:23.624
Buy in to the bad, you buy in to brighter
00:07:23.690 --> 00:07:26.326
You buy in to brighter days are ahead.
00:07:26.393 --> 00:07:28.128
Days are ahead. this is what faith does.
00:07:28.195 --> 00:07:29.429
This is what faith does. faith is the substance
00:07:29.496 --> 00:07:30.764
Faith is the substance of things hoped for,
00:07:30.831 --> 00:07:33.100
Of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
00:07:33.166 --> 00:07:36.637
The evidence of things not seen. and he said in those conditions,
00:07:36.703 --> 00:07:39.306
And he said in those conditions, death is at the door, you're in
00:07:39.373 --> 00:07:41.008
Death is at the door, you're in the dungeon, all hell --
00:07:41.074 --> 00:07:43.443
The dungeon, all hell -- ten thousand of the most
00:07:43.510 --> 00:07:45.145
Ten thousand of the most talented young people
00:07:45.212 --> 00:07:46.313
Talented young people are being chained even
00:07:46.380 --> 00:07:47.581
Are being chained even as he's speaking and being
00:07:47.648 --> 00:07:50.050
As he's speaking and being hauled off to babylon to build
00:07:50.117 --> 00:07:52.719
Hauled off to babylon to build the kingdom of babylon,
00:07:52.786 --> 00:07:53.954
The kingdom of babylon, and the city of jerusalem will
00:07:54.021 --> 00:07:55.722
And the city of jerusalem will be left no stone unturned.
00:07:55.789 --> 00:07:58.792
Be left no stone unturned. and in the middle of that,
00:07:58.859 --> 00:08:00.160
And in the middle of that, you get a real estate contract,
00:08:00.227 --> 00:08:02.763
You get a real estate contract, and you buy what
00:08:02.829 --> 00:08:04.131
And you buy what everybody else is selling.
00:08:04.197 --> 00:08:08.969

This message to look this up if you don't believe me

If you don't believe me because in the hebrew language,

That name means, "grace is coming."
00:08:25.652 --> 00:08:28.155

Will never come to you and say in your lowest moments,

And say in your lowest moments, "you ought to feel sorry

"you ought to feel sorry for yourself.

If i were you, i would just check out and end it all."
00:09:12.899 --> 00:09:14.501
Check out and end it all." grace never does that.
00:09:14.568 --> 00:09:16.737
Grace never does that. grace always comes with hope.

Grace always comes with hope. grace always comes and says,
00:09:18.705 --> 00:09:20.540
Grace always comes and says, "better is coming."

"better is coming." you hold on,
00:09:22.109 --> 00:09:22.909
You hold on, god's not through,

With your marriage and all of its trouble.
00:09:32.886 --> 00:09:34.454
And all of its trouble. god says, "i am the one who --
00:09:34.521 --> 00:09:37.190
God says, "i am the one who -- and is anything
00:09:37.257 --> 00:09:37.991
And is anything too hard for me?"
00:09:38.058 --> 00:09:39.026
Too hard for me?" that scripture
00:09:39.092 --> 00:09:40.160
That scripture is connected to this.
00:09:40.227 --> 00:09:41.495
Is connected to this. and you think
00:09:41.561 --> 00:09:42.262
And you think your problem is severe,
00:09:42.329 --> 00:09:43.797
Your problem is severe, how severe was
00:09:43.864 --> 00:09:45.065
How severe was this man's problem

This man's problem and god said,
00:09:46.133 --> 00:09:46.667
And god said, "don't back off now,
00:09:46.733 --> 00:09:47.768
"don't back off now, buy into it."
00:09:47.834 --> 00:09:49.870
Buy into it." buy into better days
00:09:49.936 --> 00:09:52.139
Buy into better days and brighter days,
00:09:52.205 --> 00:09:53.340
And brighter days, they're on the way.
00:09:53.407 --> 00:09:55.676
They're on the way. the answer always comes with
00:09:55.742 --> 00:09:57.411
The answer always comes with action when grace shows up.
00:09:57.477 --> 00:10:01.948
Action when grace shows up. more is going on here than
00:10:02.015 --> 00:10:03.316
More is going on here than a real estate transaction
00:10:03.383 --> 00:10:05.118
A real estate transaction and money being exchanged
00:10:05.185 --> 00:10:06.453
And money being exchanged for a piece of property.
00:10:06.520 --> 00:10:09.489
For a piece of property. it was a mindset that
00:10:09.556 --> 00:10:11.024
It was a mindset that god wanted us to get.
00:10:11.091 --> 00:10:13.427
God wanted us to get. and it goes in great detail,
00:10:13.493 --> 00:10:15.228
And it goes in great detail, "i signed the contract,
00:10:15.295 --> 00:10:17.030
"i signed the contract, i put it in a earthen vessel,
00:10:17.097 --> 00:10:18.799
I put it in a earthen vessel, i sealed the earthen vessel,
00:10:18.865 --> 00:10:20.734
I sealed the earthen vessel, and i buried it in the ground."
00:10:20.801 --> 00:10:22.636
And i buried it in the ground." if you read the whole story,
00:10:22.703 --> 00:10:23.670
If you read the whole story, "i buried it in the ground."
00:10:23.737 --> 00:10:25.038
"i buried it in the ground." and even though my problem
00:10:25.105 --> 00:10:27.240
And even though my problem would not be solved in a week,
00:10:27.307 --> 00:10:28.975
Would not be solved in a week, or three weeks,
00:10:29.042 --> 00:10:29.710
Or three weeks, or even three months,
00:10:29.776 --> 00:10:30.877
Or even three months, i can't promise you how quick
00:10:30.944 --> 00:10:32.846
I can't promise you how quick your miracle will come.
00:10:32.913 --> 00:10:34.247
Your miracle will come. that's our problem,
00:10:34.314 --> 00:10:35.115
That's our problem, we quit and give up when
00:10:35.182 --> 00:10:36.349
We quit and give up when it's not easy to hold on.
00:10:36.416 --> 00:10:38.685
It's not easy to hold on. but he said,
00:10:38.752 --> 00:10:39.686
But he said, "i want my people to,
00:10:39.753 --> 00:10:41.221
"i want my people to, spiritually, when i give them
00:10:41.288 --> 00:10:43.123
Spiritually, when i give them a promise, put it in
00:10:43.190 --> 00:10:45.358
A promise, put it in a earthen vessel."
00:10:45.425 --> 00:10:47.094
A earthen vessel." we're that earthen vessel.
00:10:47.160 --> 00:10:48.395
We're that earthen vessel. how you gon' do that?
00:10:48.462 --> 00:10:49.396
How you gon' do that? put it in a spiritual jar,
00:10:49.463 --> 00:10:51.698
Put it in a spiritual jar, sign that contract, seal it,
00:10:51.765 --> 00:10:53.667
Sign that contract, seal it, and shove it in your mind,
00:10:53.734 --> 00:10:55.669
And shove it in your mind, your upper room.
00:10:55.736 --> 00:10:57.637
Your upper room. and i want you,
00:10:57.704 --> 00:10:58.405
And i want you, when you're in babylon
00:10:58.472 --> 00:10:59.673
When you're in babylon and having a bad day,
00:10:59.740 --> 00:11:01.208
And having a bad day, not to whine and cry
00:11:01.274 --> 00:11:02.843
Not to whine and cry with no hope,
00:11:02.909 --> 00:11:04.311
With no hope, but i want you
00:11:04.377 --> 00:11:04.811
But i want you to remember,
00:11:04.878 --> 00:11:05.679
To remember, over there in jerusalem
00:11:05.746 --> 00:11:07.347
Over there in jerusalem i've got a document that says,
00:11:07.414 --> 00:11:09.916
I've got a document that says, "it ain't gonna always be
00:11:09.983 --> 00:11:11.051
"it ain't gonna always be like this, it's not
00:11:11.118 --> 00:11:12.252
Like this, it's not gon' end like this."
00:11:12.319 --> 00:11:13.687
Gon' end like this." you may not
00:11:13.754 --> 00:11:14.354
You may not understand where you are,
00:11:14.421 --> 00:11:16.123
Understand where you are, you may feel so distraught with
00:11:16.189 --> 00:11:18.091
You may feel so distraught with what's going on in your life,
00:11:18.158 --> 00:11:19.960
What's going on in your life, but better is coming.
00:11:20.026 --> 00:11:21.995
But better is coming. i feel like shouting that
00:11:22.062 --> 00:11:23.029
I feel like shouting that over america right now.
00:11:23.096 --> 00:11:24.664
Over america right now. better is coming.
00:11:24.731 --> 00:11:26.967
Better is coming. don't you think
00:11:27.033 --> 00:11:27.768
Don't you think the babylonians are in control,
00:11:27.834 --> 00:11:30.003
The babylonians are in control, god is in control.
00:11:30.070 --> 00:11:32.272
God is in control. god says, "is anything
00:11:32.339 --> 00:11:35.008
God says, "is anything too hard for me?"
00:11:35.075 --> 00:11:36.943
Too hard for me?" no.
00:11:37.010 --> 00:11:38.245
No. no.
00:11:38.311 --> 00:11:38.645
No. he can do anything.
00:11:38.712 --> 00:11:40.781
He can do anything. he can do everything.
00:11:40.847 --> 00:11:41.848
[applause]
00:11:42.249 --> 00:11:44.551
And he says, "don't be owned
00:11:47.020 --> 00:11:49.356
And he says, "don't be owned by your present.
00:11:49.422 --> 00:11:53.927
By your present. invest in your future."
00:11:53.994 --> 00:11:58.365
Invest in your future." it's not going
00:11:58.431 --> 00:11:58.999
It's not going to always be like this,
00:11:59.065 --> 00:12:02.969
To always be like this, it's gonna be different.
00:12:03.036 --> 00:12:05.438
It's gonna be different. hallelujah.
00:12:05.505 --> 00:12:06.807
Hallelujah. somebody needs to hear that
00:12:06.873 --> 00:12:08.008
Somebody needs to hear that watching me on television.
00:12:08.074 --> 00:12:10.610
Watching me on television. it's gonna be better.
00:12:10.677 --> 00:12:13.346
