Babylonian captivity, after the city,

"again, proclaim, saying,

My eyes and looked," this is zechariah,
00:01:43.517 --> 00:01:44.585
This is zechariah, and he says,
00:01:44.652 --> 00:01:45.052
And he says, "there were four horns.
00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:47.655
And i said to the angel
00:01:47.755 --> 00:01:48.989
Who talked with me,
00:01:49.056 --> 00:01:50.157
'what are these?'
00:01:50.224 --> 00:01:51.759
So, he answered me,
00:01:51.825 --> 00:01:52.860
'these are the horns
00:01:52.927 --> 00:01:53.961
That have scattered judah,'
00:01:54.028 --> 00:01:56.730
Notice now,
00:01:56.797 --> 00:01:57.998
What are the horns doing?
00:01:58.065 --> 00:01:59.099
"'they scattered judah,
00:01:59.166 --> 00:02:01.268

Then the lord showed

Me four carpenters.
00:02:05.673 --> 00:02:08.842
And i said,
00:02:08.943 --> 00:02:09.376
And i said, 'what are these coming to do?'
00:02:09.443 --> 00:02:11.545
'what are these coming to do?' so, he said,
00:02:11.612 --> 00:02:12.313
So, he said, 'these are the horns that
00:02:12.379 --> 00:02:14.315
'these are the horns that scattered judah, so that,'"
00:02:14.381 --> 00:02:16.684
Scattered judah, so that,'" listen to it,
00:02:16.750 --> 00:02:17.952
"no one could lift up his head,
00:02:18.052 --> 00:02:21.689
But the carpenters
00:02:21.755 --> 00:02:23.691
Are coming to terrify them,
00:02:23.757 --> 00:02:27.561
To cast out the horns
00:02:27.628 --> 00:02:30.898
Of the nations that lifted
00:02:30.965 --> 00:02:32.032
Up their horn against the land
00:02:32.099 --> 00:02:35.302
Of judah to scatter it."
00:02:35.369 --> 00:02:40.341
So, i'm preaching today on,
00:02:40.441 --> 00:02:41.475
So, i'm preaching today on, "build it."
00:02:41.542 --> 00:02:43.310
"build it." in part one, this morning,
00:02:43.377 --> 00:02:44.712
In part one, this morning, i'm preaching on,
00:02:44.778 --> 00:02:46.280
I'm preaching on, "the remedy for discouragement."
00:02:46.347 --> 00:02:49.083
"the remedy for discouragement." but i feel those words alive
00:02:49.149 --> 00:02:50.751
But i feel those words alive in my soul this morning,
00:02:50.818 --> 00:02:52.419
In my soul this morning, "build it,"
00:02:52.486 --> 00:02:53.621
"build it," in some cases, rebuild it.
00:02:53.687 --> 00:02:56.490
In some cases, rebuild it. but you'll understand that
00:02:56.557 --> 00:02:59.193
What god is doing in this hour,
00:02:59.293 --> 00:03:01.061
What god is doing in this hour, i believe,
00:03:01.128 --> 00:03:01.729
I believe, is found in zechariah 1.
00:03:01.795 --> 00:03:05.866
Is found in zechariah 1. he speaks of a vision,
00:03:05.933 --> 00:03:07.701
He speaks of a vision, and he speaks of seeing
00:03:07.768 --> 00:03:09.536
And he speaks of seeing in the middle of it
00:03:09.603 --> 00:03:10.938
In the middle of it four horns rising up.
00:03:11.005 --> 00:03:13.974
He said, "and behold,
00:03:14.074 --> 00:03:15.609
I lifted up my eyes
00:03:15.676 --> 00:03:17.845
And there were four horns."
00:03:17.911 --> 00:03:20.314
Horns in the bible
00:03:20.381 --> 00:03:21.849
Are symbols and synonymous
00:03:21.915 --> 00:03:23.717
With power,
00:03:23.784 --> 00:03:25.152
With strength,
00:03:25.219 --> 00:03:26.920
With a ram's horn,
00:03:26.987 --> 00:03:28.355
Is what it's referring to.
00:03:28.422 --> 00:03:29.990
And it has to do
00:03:30.090 --> 00:03:30.991
And it has to do with aggressive power,
00:03:31.058 --> 00:03:32.426
With aggressive power, not just power,
00:03:32.493 --> 00:03:33.227
Not just power, but aggressive power,
00:03:33.294 --> 00:03:35.396
But aggressive power, unbridled, without restraint.
00:03:35.462 --> 00:03:39.366
Unbridled, without restraint. and it's coming to destroy --
00:03:39.433 --> 00:03:40.901
And it's coming to destroy -- these four horns came
00:03:40.968 --> 00:03:42.269
These four horns came up to destroy,
00:03:42.336 --> 00:03:44.071
Up to destroy, notice what it said,
00:03:44.138 --> 00:03:45.472
"to scatter,
00:03:45.572 --> 00:03:46.974
Rising up against jerusalem,"
00:03:47.041 --> 00:03:49.576
Which is the capital
00:03:49.643 --> 00:03:50.678
City of israel,
00:03:50.744 --> 00:03:52.346
"and, judah,"
00:03:52.413 --> 00:03:53.113
Which is the people,
00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:54.148
The seed,
00:03:54.214 --> 00:03:55.716
The race, of israel,
00:03:55.816 --> 00:03:58.319
The race, of israel, "and israel,"
00:03:58.385 --> 00:03:59.353
"and israel," the entire nation,
00:03:59.420 --> 00:04:01.422
The entire nation, "to scatter them."
00:04:01.488 --> 00:04:02.756
"to scatter them." that word is so important.
00:04:02.823 --> 00:04:04.558
That word is so important. the purpose of the horns
00:04:04.625 --> 00:04:06.760
The purpose of the horns was to scatter israel.
00:04:06.827 --> 00:04:10.664
Was to scatter israel. it was -- and we, today,
00:04:10.731 --> 00:04:12.733
It was -- and we, today, the church,
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:13.534
The church, is spiritual israel.
00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:15.602
Is spiritual israel. there's natural israel
00:04:15.669 --> 00:04:16.770
There's natural israel and there's spiritual israel.
00:04:16.837 --> 00:04:19.173
And there's spiritual israel. and these things were written
00:04:19.239 --> 00:04:20.374
And these things were written for our learning to understand
00:04:20.441 --> 00:04:22.843
For our learning to understand how the enemy operates when he
00:04:22.910 --> 00:04:24.845
How the enemy operates when he attacks israel the church,
00:04:24.912 --> 00:04:27.214
Attacks israel the church, the body of christ,
00:04:27.281 --> 00:04:29.817
The body of christ, so that the people
00:04:29.883 --> 00:04:31.118
So that the people would be so defeated,
00:04:31.185 --> 00:04:33.687
Would be so defeated, so discouraged,
00:04:33.754 --> 00:04:35.089
So discouraged, and despondent that
00:04:35.155 --> 00:04:36.724
And despondent that their head is looking down,
00:04:36.790 --> 00:04:39.727
Their head is looking down, not looking up.
00:04:39.793 --> 00:04:41.729
Not looking up. adversity comes to take
00:04:41.795 --> 00:04:45.466
Adversity comes to take our vision,
00:04:45.532 --> 00:04:47.668
Our vision, to turn our head down
00:04:47.735 --> 00:04:49.837
To turn our head down away from the future of hope,
00:04:49.903 --> 00:04:53.407
Away from the future of hope, and the faith in our future
00:04:53.474 --> 00:04:56.477
And the faith in our future to be dissipated,
00:04:56.543 --> 00:04:58.278
To be dissipated, to be discouraged.
00:04:58.345 --> 00:05:00.280
To be discouraged. and everything about that
00:05:00.347 --> 00:05:01.448
And everything about that posture of looking
00:05:01.515 --> 00:05:02.649
Posture of looking down is unbiblical.
00:05:02.716 --> 00:05:05.319
Down is unbiblical. the bible clearly says
00:05:05.386 --> 00:05:07.254
The bible clearly says in psalms 121:1-2,
00:05:07.321 --> 00:05:11.058
In psalms 121:1-2, "lift up your eyes
00:05:11.125 --> 00:05:12.292
"lift up your eyes unto the hills."
00:05:12.359 --> 00:05:15.162
Unto the hills." you're not supposed
00:05:15.229 --> 00:05:16.263
You're not supposed to be despondent
00:05:16.330 --> 00:05:17.898
To be despondent and looking down.
00:05:17.965 --> 00:05:19.133
And looking down. that's the enemy
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.567
That's the enemy and the spirit that's coming.
00:05:20.634 --> 00:05:22.202
And the spirit that's coming. and it came to the nation
00:05:22.269 --> 00:05:24.104
And it came to the nation of israel,
00:05:24.171 --> 00:05:24.838
Of israel, the people of israel,
00:05:24.905 --> 00:05:26.340
The people of israel, and the capital city
00:05:26.407 --> 00:05:27.841
And the capital city of jerusalem,
00:05:27.908 --> 00:05:28.942
Of jerusalem, and it said,
00:05:29.009 --> 00:05:30.611
And it said, "you are defeated,
00:05:30.677 --> 00:05:31.979
"you are defeated, and you are to stay down.
00:05:32.045 --> 00:05:33.614
And you are to stay down. don't you look up
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:34.648
Don't you look up with faith and vision."
00:05:34.715 --> 00:05:36.984
With faith and vision." "lift up your head unto
00:05:37.050 --> 00:05:38.819
"lift up your head unto the hills from which
00:05:38.886 --> 00:05:40.721
The hills from which cometh your help,
00:05:40.788 --> 00:05:42.289
Cometh your help, your help is the lord."
00:05:42.356 --> 00:05:44.625
Your help is the lord." it's time to break out
00:05:44.691 --> 00:05:45.692
It's time to break out of the present problems.
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.295
Of the present problems. it's time to lift up your eyes.
00:05:48.362 --> 00:05:50.564
It's time to lift up your eyes. i'mma preach what god
00:05:50.631 --> 00:05:51.665
I'mma preach what god told me to preach.
00:05:51.732 --> 00:05:53.233
Told me to preach. we have a bright future.
00:05:53.300 --> 00:05:56.136
We have a bright future. your family,
00:05:56.203 --> 00:05:57.738
Your family, if you believe in jesus christ,
00:05:57.805 --> 00:06:00.007
If you believe in jesus christ, i don't care how scattered
00:06:00.073 --> 00:06:01.408
I don't care how scattered and divided it is,
00:06:01.475 --> 00:06:02.976
And divided it is, you lift up your head.
00:06:03.043 --> 00:06:04.812
You lift up your head. you do have a future
00:06:04.878 --> 00:06:06.613
You do have a future and god still has
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:07.915
And god still has a vision for miracles
00:06:07.981 --> 00:06:10.083
A vision for miracles in your home.
00:06:10.150 --> 00:06:11.685
In your home. it's not over.
00:06:11.752 --> 00:06:13.420
It's not over. better days are coming.
00:06:13.487 --> 00:06:15.255
Better days are coming. god's not done,
00:06:15.322 --> 00:06:16.824
God's not done, god's not gonna
00:06:16.890 --> 00:06:17.724
God's not gonna let it end like this,
00:06:17.791 --> 00:06:19.827
Let it end like this, and it's not his will

And it's not his will for your family
00:06:21.295 --> 00:06:22.196
For your family to be scattered,
00:06:22.262 --> 00:06:23.297
To be scattered, broken, divided,
00:06:23.363 --> 00:06:24.965
Broken, divided, and defeated.

I believe that when you begin to focus on where you've been,
00:06:37.444 --> 00:06:40.614
To focus on where you've been, that's where you stay.
00:06:40.681 --> 00:06:43.550
That's where you stay. but he said,

To divide us from our future place
00:07:11.111 --> 00:07:13.747
From our future place of destiny and calling.
00:07:13.814 --> 00:07:16.583
Of destiny and calling. and a scattering of godly

A scattering of families

Four horns to scatter, and divide, and tear to pieces.

The people said when they saw him doing miracles,
00:13:11.204 --> 00:13:14.140
They saw him doing miracles, "is not this joseph
00:13:14.207 --> 00:13:16.643
"is not this joseph the carpenter's son?"
00:13:16.710 --> 00:13:19.813
The carpenter's son?" carpentry has always been god's
00:13:19.880 --> 00:13:22.582
Carpentry has always been god's remedy for scattering,
00:13:22.649 --> 00:13:25.785
Remedy for scattering, and dividing,
00:13:25.852 --> 00:13:27.320
And dividing, and discouraging
00:13:27.387 --> 00:13:28.722
And discouraging god's people.
00:13:28.788 --> 00:13:31.157
God's people. jesus showed up with the spirit
00:13:31.224 --> 00:13:33.260
Jesus showed up with the spirit of the builder when he came.
00:13:33.326 --> 00:13:35.829
Of the builder when he came. and he said,
00:13:35.896 --> 00:13:36.429
And he said, "i've got the tools
00:13:36.496 --> 00:13:37.697
"i've got the tools that i need to rebuild
00:13:37.764 --> 00:13:38.865
That i need to rebuild any marriage, any family,
00:13:38.932 --> 00:13:40.734
Any marriage, any family, any nation, any people
00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:42.335
Any nation, any people who will turn to me.
00:13:42.402 --> 00:13:44.704
Who will turn to me. i've got three nails,
00:13:44.771 --> 00:13:46.406
I've got three nails, i've got a hammer,
00:13:46.473 --> 00:13:47.908
I've got a hammer, and i've got two beams."
00:13:47.974 --> 00:13:50.977
And i've got two beams." and if you take the cross,
00:13:51.044 --> 00:13:52.979
And if you take the cross, and the nails,
00:13:53.046 --> 00:13:54.314
And the nails, and you take the sacrifice
00:13:54.381 --> 00:13:56.149
And you take the sacrifice of his blood on the cross,
00:13:56.216 --> 00:13:58.385
Of his blood on the cross, it can rebuild any broken
00:13:58.451 --> 00:14:00.020
It can rebuild any broken place in your life.
00:14:00.086 --> 00:14:02.956
Place in your life. that's my carpenter.
00:14:03.023 --> 00:14:04.257
That's my carpenter. his name is jesus.
00:14:04.324 --> 00:14:07.160
His name is jesus. so, there are three things
00:14:07.227 --> 00:14:08.695
So, there are three things that god wants us to rebuild
00:14:08.762 --> 00:14:12.866
That god wants us to rebuild if you're gonna see the spirit
00:14:12.933 --> 00:14:14.668
If you're gonna see the spirit of the carpenter hit
00:14:14.734 --> 00:14:17.037
Of the carpenter hit your life and raise back
00:14:17.103 --> 00:14:20.006
Your life and raise back up what the enemy has
00:14:20.073 --> 00:14:21.408
Up what the enemy has scattered and divided.
00:14:21.474 --> 00:14:24.878
Scattered and divided. first of all,
00:14:24.945 --> 00:14:25.912
First of all, you gotta rebuild the altar.
00:14:25.979 --> 00:14:30.550
You gotta rebuild the altar. every problem with people
00:14:30.617 --> 00:14:36.022
Every problem with people is a prayer problem.
00:14:36.089 --> 00:14:41.061
Is a prayer problem. if you fix your altar,
00:14:41.127 --> 00:14:43.830
If you fix your altar, you will fix your life.
00:14:43.897 --> 00:14:47.100
You will fix your life. if your altar is unfixed,
00:14:47.167 --> 00:14:49.769
If your altar is unfixed, your life will remain unfixed.
00:14:49.836 --> 00:14:53.673
Your life will remain unfixed. there comes a point when you get
00:14:53.740 --> 00:14:56.276
There comes a point when you get so desperate that
00:14:56.343 --> 00:14:58.011
So desperate that you rebuild your altar.
00:14:58.078 --> 00:15:00.313
You rebuild your altar. and if you will rebuild
00:15:00.380 --> 00:15:01.581
And if you will rebuild the altar and put god
00:15:01.648 --> 00:15:03.249
The altar and put god first in your life,
00:15:03.316 --> 00:15:05.485
First in your life, and begin to call on him,
00:15:05.552 --> 00:15:07.988
And begin to call on him, and begin to listen to him --
00:15:08.054 --> 00:15:10.223
And begin to listen to him -- because prayer
00:15:10.290 --> 00:15:10.890
Because prayer is talking to god,
00:15:10.957 --> 00:15:12.659
Is talking to god, word is listening to god.
00:15:12.726 --> 00:15:16.396
Word is listening to god. and if you will
00:15:16.463 --> 00:15:17.263
And if you will rebuild your altar,
00:15:17.330 --> 00:15:19.799
Rebuild your altar, your altar will rebuild
00:15:19.866 --> 00:15:21.401
Your altar will rebuild your life,
00:15:21.468 --> 00:15:22.469
Your life, rebuild your marriage,
00:15:22.535 --> 00:15:24.104
Rebuild your marriage, rebuild your children,
00:15:24.170 --> 00:15:25.839
Rebuild your children, rebuild your future.
00:15:25.905 --> 00:15:28.441
Rebuild your future. there is no shortcuts.
00:15:28.508 --> 00:15:29.976
There is no shortcuts. that's why when elijah wanted
00:15:30.043 --> 00:15:32.178
That's why when elijah wanted the fire to fall on
00:15:32.245 --> 00:15:34.381
The fire to fall on his nation again --
00:15:34.447 --> 00:15:36.249
His nation again -- they were in a drought
00:15:36.316 --> 00:15:37.450
They were in a drought for three and a half years
00:15:37.517 --> 00:15:39.019
For three and a half years and he went to mount carmel
00:15:39.085 --> 00:15:41.221
And he went to mount carmel and he said,
00:15:41.287 --> 00:15:41.788
And he said, "i've got to first build
00:15:41.855 --> 00:15:43.723
"i've got to first build an altar to solve this problem,
00:15:43.790 --> 00:15:46.259
An altar to solve this problem, to rebuild the nation,
00:15:46.326 --> 00:15:48.028
To rebuild the nation, rebuild the altar."
00:15:48.094 --> 00:15:49.496
Rebuild the altar." and he got 12 stones,
00:15:49.562 --> 00:15:52.132
And he got 12 stones, he stacked them on
00:15:52.198 --> 00:15:52.999
He stacked them on top of each other.
00:15:53.066 --> 00:15:54.234
Top of each other. he built a fire with wood.
00:15:54.300 --> 00:15:58.204
He built a fire with wood. and he did not start the fire,
00:15:58.271 --> 00:16:00.740
And he did not start the fire, he just put the wood there
00:16:00.807 --> 00:16:02.709
He just put the wood there and he laid the sacrifice
00:16:02.776 --> 00:16:04.244
And he laid the sacrifice on the drywood,
00:16:04.310 --> 00:16:05.945
On the drywood, and then he did
00:16:06.012 --> 00:16:06.880
And then he did something strange.
00:16:06.946 --> 00:16:08.448
Something strange. he called for 12 barrels
00:16:08.515 --> 00:16:11.418
He called for 12 barrels of water.
00:16:11.484 --> 00:16:13.053
Of water. the one thing they
00:16:13.119 --> 00:16:14.120
The one thing they didn't have was water.
00:16:14.187 --> 00:16:17.090
Didn't have was water. it had not rain nor dew
00:16:17.157 --> 00:16:19.793
It had not rain nor dew had come in the mornings.
00:16:19.859 --> 00:16:22.295
Had come in the mornings. there was no dew or rain
00:16:22.362 --> 00:16:24.931
There was no dew or rain for three and half years,
00:16:24.998 --> 00:16:26.633
For three and half years, and water was the one
00:16:26.699 --> 00:16:28.301
And water was the one thing they didn't
00:16:28.368 --> 00:16:29.736
Thing they didn't have much of at all.
00:16:29.803 --> 00:16:32.539
Have much of at all. isn't it amazing that the thing
00:16:32.605 --> 00:16:34.374
Isn't it amazing that the thing that will help you build your
00:16:34.441 --> 00:16:36.376
That will help you build your altar is the thing you
00:16:36.443 --> 00:16:38.611
Altar is the thing you don't have enough of.
00:16:38.678 --> 00:16:42.882
Don't have enough of. and most people don't pray
00:16:42.949 --> 00:16:45.051
And most people don't pray when they have what they need.
00:16:45.118 --> 00:16:47.987
When they have what they need. but the thing that you don't
00:16:48.054 --> 00:16:50.256
Have that you desperately want
00:16:50.356 --> 00:16:52.859
To see happen is the very thing
00:16:52.926 --> 00:16:56.329
That should cause you to pour,
00:16:56.396 --> 00:16:59.833
And build an altar.
00:16:59.933 --> 00:17:01.634
And build an altar. and they drenched the altar,
00:17:01.701 --> 00:17:03.536
And they drenched the altar, and the fire fell
00:17:03.603 --> 00:17:05.004
And the fire fell from heaven and lit the fire,
00:17:05.071 --> 00:17:07.540
From heaven and lit the fire, and the famine was over,
00:17:07.607 --> 00:17:09.709
And the famine was over, and the nation was blessed
00:17:09.776 --> 00:17:11.644
And the nation was blessed and restored.
00:17:11.711 --> 00:17:14.013
And restored. rebuild the altar.
00:17:14.080 --> 00:17:15.615
Rebuild the altar. don't leave the altar
00:17:15.682 --> 00:17:17.350
Don't leave the altar in disarray.
00:17:17.417 --> 00:17:18.451
In disarray. if the enemies come through
00:17:18.518 --> 00:17:20.120
If the enemies come through your family with scattering
00:17:20.186 --> 00:17:21.654
Your family with scattering and dividing,
00:17:21.721 --> 00:17:22.755
And dividing, rebuild the altar.
00:17:22.822 --> 00:17:25.458
Altars are always the result
00:17:25.558 --> 00:17:27.827
Altars are always the result of when you don't have enough
00:17:27.894 --> 00:17:30.230
Of when you don't have enough in yourself to do it.
00:17:30.296 --> 00:17:31.965
It's gonna take god.
00:17:32.065 --> 00:17:33.500
It's gonna take god. use that as fuel to make
00:17:33.566 --> 00:17:37.003
Use that as fuel to make you build an altar.
00:17:37.070 --> 00:17:40.240
You build an altar. "i can't do it.
00:17:40.306 --> 00:17:41.040
"i can't do it. i don't have enough,"
00:17:41.107 --> 00:17:42.475
I don't have enough," but god can.
00:17:42.542 --> 00:17:44.277
But god can. the second thing you gotta do,
00:17:44.344 --> 00:17:47.113
The second thing you gotta do, if you're gonna get
00:17:47.180 --> 00:17:47.714
If you're gonna get your head lifted up into
00:17:47.780 --> 00:17:49.716
Your head lifted up into vision and future,
00:17:49.782 --> 00:17:50.950
Vision and future, and rebuild your life,
00:17:51.017 --> 00:17:53.720
And rebuild your life, and rebuild everything
00:17:53.786 --> 00:17:55.522
And rebuild everything that the enemy has
00:17:55.588 --> 00:17:56.422
That the enemy has scattered and divided,
00:17:56.489 --> 00:17:58.691
Scattered and divided, is you gotta rebuild your
00:17:58.758 --> 00:18:00.927
Is you gotta rebuild your relationships with people.
00:18:00.994 --> 00:18:06.533
Relationships with people. you see, we have got
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:09.135
You see, we have got to unself ourselves.
00:18:09.202 --> 00:18:13.339
To unself ourselves. we are a selfie generation.
00:18:13.406 --> 00:18:17.043
We are a selfie generation. that's why we take
00:18:17.110 --> 00:18:17.810
That's why we take our cellphones,
00:18:17.877 --> 00:18:19.913
Our cellphones, and we'll hold it up,
00:18:19.979 --> 00:18:20.914
And we'll hold it up, and some people post 400
00:18:20.980 --> 00:18:23.349
And some people post 400 pictures of themselves a day.
00:18:23.416 --> 00:18:24.851
[laughter]
00:18:25.518 --> 00:18:27.620
It's called a selfie.
00:18:28.021 --> 00:18:30.190
It's called a selfie. and the spirit of the selfie
00:18:30.256 --> 00:18:32.025
And the spirit of the selfie has got in the church
00:18:32.091 --> 00:18:34.594
Has got in the church and all we think
00:18:34.661 --> 00:18:35.395
And all we think about is ourselves.
00:18:35.461 --> 00:18:38.398
About is ourselves. but when you lift up
00:18:38.464 --> 00:18:39.165
But when you lift up your head and god
00:18:39.232 --> 00:18:41.000
Your head and god begins to rebuild your altar,
00:18:41.067 --> 00:18:43.970
Begins to rebuild your altar, it will make you begin
00:18:44.037 --> 00:18:45.205
It will make you begin to focus on other people
00:18:45.271 --> 00:18:47.740
To focus on other people not just yourself.
00:18:47.807 --> 00:18:49.842
Not just yourself. but you start saying,
00:18:49.909 --> 00:18:51.110
But you start saying, "well, if i'm walking
00:18:51.177 --> 00:18:52.111
"well, if i'm walking through this,
00:18:52.178 --> 00:18:52.879
Through this, i'm walking through it
00:18:52.946 --> 00:18:54.180
I'm walking through it because god's gon'
00:18:54.247 --> 00:18:54.981
Because god's gon' get glory out of it
00:18:55.048 --> 00:18:56.649
Get glory out of it and that means i'm gonna
00:18:56.716 --> 00:18:58.985
And that means i'm gonna be healed by helping
00:18:59.052 --> 00:19:00.787
Be healed by helping somebody else
00:19:00.853 --> 00:19:01.988
Somebody else and building somebody else up,
00:19:02.055 --> 00:19:06.025
And building somebody else up, because i've been there,
00:19:06.092 --> 00:19:07.961
Because i've been there, and i know what they're facing."
00:19:08.027 --> 00:19:09.896
And i know what they're facing." that's why this
00:19:09.963 --> 00:19:10.730
That's why this one is important.
00:19:10.797 --> 00:19:11.898
One is important. the third one is
00:19:11.965 --> 00:19:13.600
The third one is build yourself up.
00:19:13.666 --> 00:19:15.868
Build yourself up. jude 1:20 says that,
00:19:15.935 --> 00:19:20.673
Jude 1:20 says that, "beloved, you are to build
00:19:20.740 --> 00:19:22.609
"beloved, you are to build up yourselves in
00:19:22.675 --> 00:19:24.978
Up yourselves in the most holy faith."
00:19:25.044 --> 00:19:26.746
The most holy faith." how?
00:19:26.813 --> 00:19:27.614
How? "praying in the holy spirit,"
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:31.851
"praying in the holy spirit," praying in
00:19:31.918 --> 00:19:33.519
Praying in the heavenly language.
00:19:33.586 --> 00:19:34.520
[applause]
00:19:35.021 --> 00:19:35.822
Praying in the holy ghost.
00:19:36.155 --> 00:19:38.758
[applause]
00:19:39.158 --> 00:19:39.759
Walking and praying
00:19:40.093 --> 00:19:41.327
Walking and praying in the spirit.
00:19:41.394 --> 00:19:43.730
In the spirit. how do you do that?
00:19:43.796 --> 00:19:44.998
How do you do that? you build yourself up
00:19:45.064 --> 00:19:47.934
You build yourself up by putting on cds of worship,
00:19:48.001 --> 00:19:51.804
By putting on cds of worship, by putting on music
00:19:51.871 --> 00:19:54.073
By putting on music in your heart, singing,
00:19:54.140 --> 00:19:55.975
In your heart, singing, making melody,
00:19:56.042 --> 00:19:57.010
Making melody, building your faith up,
00:19:57.076 --> 00:19:58.778
Building your faith up, walking, and praying,
00:19:58.845 --> 00:20:00.513
Walking, and praying, and talking to god.
00:20:00.580 --> 00:20:02.849
And talking to god. and i can tell somebody here
00:20:02.915 --> 00:20:05.184
And i can tell somebody here that the spirit of the carpenter

"i've done too much for you for you to have empty hands

For you to have empty hands and not be building
00:20:43.923 --> 00:20:44.824
And not be building somebody else's life because
00:20:44.891 --> 00:20:48.261
Somebody else's life because i rescued you and rebuilt you,

And their faith, and it starts with you
00:20:56.235 --> 00:20:57.570
And it starts with you rebuilding the altar out
00:20:57.637 --> 00:21:00.640
Rebuilding the altar out of your own need.
00:21:00.707 --> 00:21:03.643
Of your own need. can you just throw your hands
00:21:03.710 --> 00:21:04.677
Can you just throw your hands up right where you're sitting
00:21:04.744 --> 00:21:05.712
Up right where you're sitting at every campus?
00:21:05.778 --> 00:21:08.147
Just say,
00:21:08.247 --> 00:21:08.614
Just say, "lord, here's my family.
00:21:08.681 --> 00:21:11.150
"lord, here's my family. here's my marriage.
00:21:11.217 --> 00:21:12.385

00:21:21.694 --> 00:21:26.366
Here's where i am." and those --
00:21:26.432 --> 00:21:27.200
And those -- that spirit of scattering,
00:21:27.266 --> 00:21:29.268
That spirit of scattering, that satanic scattering
00:21:29.335 --> 00:21:31.471
That satanic scattering and dividing,
00:21:31.537 --> 00:21:32.605
And dividing, in the name of jesus,
00:21:32.672 --> 00:21:35.141
In the name of jesus, i've come with the remedy
00:21:35.208 --> 00:21:37.310
I've come with the remedy that has caused your head
00:21:37.377 --> 00:21:39.212
That has caused your head to not be able to be lifted up
00:21:39.278 --> 00:21:42.582
To not be able to be lifted up unto the hills
00:21:42.648 --> 00:21:43.483
Unto the hills from which comes your help.
00:21:43.549 --> 00:21:45.051
From which comes your help. and that remedy is the spirit
00:21:45.118 --> 00:21:47.887
And that remedy is the spirit of the carpenter jesus christ
00:21:47.954 --> 00:21:50.189
Of the carpenter jesus christ who has come not to demolish
00:21:50.256 --> 00:21:52.558
Who has come not to demolish but to rebuild broken lives,
00:21:52.625 --> 00:21:55.495
But to rebuild broken lives, broken families,
00:21:55.561 --> 00:21:57.029
Broken families, broken marriages,
00:21:57.096 --> 00:21:59.866
Broken marriages, broken relationships.

Go to work. quit worrying and start working.
00:22:08.207 --> 00:22:10.843
Quit worrying and start working. there's a verse
00:22:10.910 --> 00:22:11.511
There's a verse in nehemiah 4 that says,
00:22:11.577 --> 00:22:16.182
In nehemiah 4 that says, "the people had a mind to work."
00:22:16.249 --> 00:22:21.654
"the people had a mind to work." if you get the mind to work,
00:22:21.721 --> 00:22:23.256

00:22:30.263 --> 00:22:31.464

There's no sin too great that he can't forgive.

That he can't forgive. there's no mess too big
00:23:23.516 --> 00:23:25.485
There's no mess too big that he can't fix.

And what was made into -- meant to destroy you,
00:23:32.158 --> 00:23:34.260
Meant to destroy you, god can turn it
