00:00:00.170 --> 00:00:10.040
JOEL OSTEEN: GOD BLESS YOU.
00:00:10.020 --> 00:00:13.020
IT'S A JOY TO COME INTO YOUR
00:00:13.020 --> 00:00:14.150
HOMES, AND IF YOU'RE EVER IN OUR
00:00:14.150 --> 00:00:15.290
AREA, PLEASE STOP BY AND BE
00:00:15.290 --> 00:00:17.210
A PART OF ONE OF OUR SERVICES.
00:00:17.210 --> 00:00:19.230
I PROMISE YOU, WE'LL MAKE YOU
00:00:19.230 --> 00:00:21.150
I LIKE TO START WITH SOMETHING
00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:24.040
FUNNY, AND I HEARD
00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:24.250
ABOUT THIS PASTOR.
00:00:24.250 --> 00:00:26.170
HE WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET,
00:00:26.170 --> 00:00:27.250
WHEN HE CAME UPON THIS GROUP
00:00:27.250 --> 00:00:29.020
OF YOUNG BOYS THAT WERE
00:00:29.020 --> 00:00:31.000
SURROUNDING A SMALL DOG.
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.170
HE ASKED WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
00:00:32.170 --> 00:00:34.010
THEY EXPLAINED THAT THEY WERE
00:00:34.010 --> 00:00:35.210
HAVING A CONTEST.
00:00:35.210 --> 00:00:36.230
WHOEVER COULD TELL THE BIGGEST
00:00:36.230 --> 00:00:38.100
LIE WOULD GET TO KEEP THE DOG.
00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:40.170
THE PASTOR LAUNCHED INTO A 10
00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:42.130
MINUTE SERMON, STARTING WITH,
00:00:42.130 --> 00:00:43.220
"DON'T YOU KNOW LYING IS A SIN?"
00:00:43.220 --> 00:00:45.210
AND ENDING WITH, "WHEN I WAS
00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:47.160
YOUR AGE, I NEVER TOLD A LIE."
00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:49.200
THERE WAS COMPLETE SILENCE,
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.190
AND JUST WHEN HE THOUGHT
00:00:50.190 --> 00:00:52.040
HE'D GOTTEN THROUGH TO THEM,
00:00:52.040 --> 00:00:53.080
THE YOUNGEST BOY SPOKE
00:00:53.080 --> 00:00:54.120
UP AND SAID, "ALL RIGHT,
00:00:54.120 --> 00:00:56.270
GIVE HIM THE DOG."
00:00:56.270 --> 00:00:58.100
SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT.
00:00:58.100 --> 00:00:59.220
THIS IS MY BIBLE.
00:00:59.220 --> 00:01:01.040
I AM WHAT IT SAYS I AM.
00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:02.240
I HAVE WHAT IT SAYS I HAVE.
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.190
I CAN DO WHAT IT SAYS I CAN DO.
00:01:04.190 --> 00:01:06.220
TODAY I WILL BE TAUGHT THE WORD
00:01:06.220 --> 00:01:08.220
OF GOD.
00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:09.100
I BOLDLY CONFESS, MY MIND IS
00:01:09.100 --> 00:01:11.200
ALERT, MY HEART IS RECEPTIVE, I
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.020
IN JESUS' NAME.
00:01:16.020 --> 00:01:16.280
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU TODAY
00:01:19.090 --> 00:01:21.280
WE ALL HAVE THINGS THAT COME
00:01:23.240 --> 00:01:25.110
AGAINST US IN LIFE, PEOPLE THAT
00:01:25.110 --> 00:01:27.030
AREN'T FAIR, WE'RE DEALING
00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:28.130
WITH AN ILLNESS, OR BUSINESS
00:01:28.130 --> 00:01:30.150
HAS GONE DOWN.
00:01:30.150 --> 00:01:31.220
WERE PRAYING, BELIEVING,
00:01:31.220 --> 00:01:33.000
DOING THE RIGHT THING,
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.190
BUT NOTHING IS CHANGING.
00:01:34.190 --> 00:01:36.140
IT'S EASY TO GET DISCOURAGED
00:01:36.140 --> 00:01:37.240
AND THINK IT'S NEVER GOING
00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:39.040
TO IMPROVE.
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:40.110
BUT THE WAY YOU WIN SOME BATTLES
00:01:40.110 --> 00:01:42.200
IS NOT BY DEFEATING
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:43.290
THE OPPOSITION,
00:01:43.290 --> 00:01:45.020
BUT BY OUTLASTING
00:01:45.020 --> 00:01:46.210
THE OPPOSITION.
00:01:46.210 --> 00:01:48.030
YOU HAVE TO HAVE STAYING POWER.
00:01:48.030 --> 00:01:50.100
YOU CAN'T BE WEAK AND GIVE
00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:52.050
UP BECAUSE IT'S NOT HAPPENING
00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:53.230
ON YOUR TIMETABLE.
00:01:53.230 --> 00:01:55.090
SOME ENEMIES ARE STUBBORN.
00:01:55.090 --> 00:01:57.180
YOU HAVE TO OUTLAST THE TROUBLE
00:01:57.180 --> 00:02:00.020
AT WORK, OUTLAST THE DIFFICULTY
00:02:00.020 --> 00:02:02.030
IN YOUR MARRIAGE, OUTLAST
00:02:02.030 --> 00:02:03.140
THE SLOW SEASON IN YOUR
00:02:03.140 --> 00:02:05.060
FINANCES.
00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:06.170
WE WANT GOD TO DELIVER US
00:02:06.170 --> 00:02:08.120
FROM THE ATTACK, BUT IF HE'S NOT
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.160
CHANGING IT, IT'S REAL SIMPLE,
00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:12.200
YOU HAVE TO OUTLAST IT.
00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:14.250
BUT SOMETIMES, WE FEEL LIKE
00:02:14.250 --> 00:02:16.090
WE'VE SEEN HIM TURN SITUATIONS
00:02:17.260 --> 00:02:19.110
AROUND IN THE PAST, BUT THIS
00:02:19.110 --> 00:02:21.110
PROBLEM WON'T SEEM TO GO AWAY.
00:02:21.110 --> 00:02:23.250
GOD IS STILL GOING TO TURN IT
00:02:23.250 --> 00:02:26.010
AROUND, BUT THIS TIME, HE'S
00:02:26.010 --> 00:02:27.200
GOING TO DO IT A DIFFERENT WAY.
00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:29.230
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A HOLY
00:02:29.230 --> 00:02:32.060
DETERMINATION, A MADE UP MIND
00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:34.080
WHERE YOU DIG YOUR HEELS
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:35.140
IN AND SAY, "I AM IN IT
00:02:35.140 --> 00:02:37.040
FOR THE LONG HAUL.
00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:38.180
QUITTING IS NOT AN OPTION.
00:02:38.180 --> 00:02:40.220
I AM GOING TO OUTLAST
00:02:40.220 --> 00:02:42.220
THIS SICKNESS.
00:02:42.220 --> 00:02:43.070
I'M GOING TO OUTLAST
00:02:43.070 --> 00:02:44.200
THE ADDICTION.
00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:45.120
I'M GOING TO OUTLAST THIS
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.280
INJUSTICE."
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:48.140
THIS IS WHAT DAVID DID.
00:02:48.140 --> 00:02:49.270
HE DEFEATED GOLIATH IN FIVE
00:02:49.270 --> 00:02:52.020
MINUTES.
00:02:52.020 --> 00:02:52.160
NO BIG DEAL.
00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:53.240
GOD FAVORED HIM, AND HE QUICKLY
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:56.080
TOOK DOWN THIS HUGE GIANT.
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.110
OVERNIGHT, HE BECAME A NATIONAL
00:02:58.110 --> 00:03:01.030
HERO.
00:03:01.030 --> 00:03:01.200
BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER MAN NAMED
00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:03.170
KING SAUL THAT WAS
00:03:03.170 --> 00:03:04.250
AGAINST DAVID.
00:03:04.250 --> 00:03:06.030
SAUL WAS ON THE THRONE
00:03:06.030 --> 00:03:07.220
OF ISRAEL, WHEN GOD PROMISED
00:03:07.220 --> 00:03:09.120
DAVID THE THRONE.
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:10.290
GOD COULD'VE HAD DAVID DEFEAT
00:03:10.290 --> 00:03:13.080
SAUL LIKE HE DEFEATED GOLIATH,
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.190
QUICKLY, NO PROBLEM, BUT THIS
00:03:15.190 --> 00:03:18.060
TIME WAS VERY DIFFERENT.
00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:20.080
DAVID HAD BEEN ANOINTED TO BE
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.110
THE NEXT KING OF ISRAEL.
00:03:22.110 --> 00:03:24.040
AND AFTER HE DEFEATED GOLIATH,
00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:25.250
HE LEFT THE SHEPHERD'S FIELDS
00:03:25.250 --> 00:03:27.170
AND WENT TO THE PALACE TO SERVE
00:03:27.170 --> 00:03:30.000
KING SAUL.
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:30.220
BUT SAUL WAS JEALOUS OF DAVID.
00:03:30.220 --> 00:03:33.020
HE COULD SEE THE FAVOR
00:03:33.020 --> 00:03:35.080
ON HIS LIFE.
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:35.220
ONE TIME, DAVID WAS PLAYING
00:03:35.220 --> 00:03:37.020
THE HARP FOR SAUL, TRYING
00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:38.170
TO MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER.
00:03:38.170 --> 00:03:40.050
SAUL THREW A SPEAR AT DAVID
00:03:40.050 --> 00:03:42.180
AND BARELY MISSED HIM.
00:03:42.180 --> 00:03:44.080
DAVID HAD TO RUN FOR HIS LIFE.
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.190
HE SPENT MONTHS IN THE DESERT
00:03:46.190 --> 00:03:49.050
IN HIDING, LIVING IN CAVES
00:03:49.050 --> 00:03:51.090
WITH SAUL AND HIS MEN CONSTANTLY
00:03:51.090 --> 00:03:53.080
ON HIS TRAIL TRYING TO KILL
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.080
DAVID.
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:56.150
IT WASN'T FAIR.
00:03:56.150 --> 00:03:57.210
DAVID HAD DONE ANYTHING WRONG.
00:03:57.210 --> 00:03:59.110
HE WAS BEING GOOD TO SAUL.
00:03:59.110 --> 00:04:01.130
YOU WOULD THINK THAT GOD WOULD
00:04:01.130 --> 00:04:03.250
STOP SAUL, VINDICATE DAVID,
00:04:03.250 --> 00:04:05.130
AND PUT HIM ON THE THRONE
00:04:05.130 --> 00:04:07.040
LIKE HE PROMISED.
00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:07.290
BUT GOD DOESN'T ALWAYS DO THINGS
00:04:07.290 --> 00:04:10.090
THE SAME WAY.
00:04:10.090 --> 00:04:11.130
FOR SOME VICTORIES, WE HAVE
00:04:11.130 --> 00:04:13.010
TO PROVE TO GOD THAT WILL DO
00:04:13.010 --> 00:04:15.090
THE RIGHT THING WHEN THE WRONG
00:04:15.090 --> 00:04:17.090
THING IS HAPPENING.
00:04:17.090 --> 00:04:18.100
WE HAVE TO BE GOOD TO PEOPLE
00:04:18.100 --> 00:04:20.000
WHEN THEY'RE NOT BEING GOOD
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:21.070
TO US.
00:04:21.070 --> 00:04:22.130
WE HAVE TO STAY IN FAITH WHEN
00:04:22.130 --> 00:04:24.090
IT'S UNFAIR, WHEN IT'S TAKING
00:04:24.090 --> 00:04:25.190
LONGER THAN IT SHOULD, WHEN WE
00:04:25.190 --> 00:04:27.150
DON'T SEE HOW IT COULD WORK OUT.
00:04:27.150 --> 00:04:29.210
HOW BAD DO YOU WANT WHAT GOD
00:04:29.210 --> 00:04:32.180
PROMISED YOU?
00:04:32.180 --> 00:04:33.140
IF YOU GIVE UP EASILY, YOU
00:04:33.140 --> 00:04:35.170
DIDN'T WANT IT BAD ENOUGH.
00:04:35.170 --> 00:04:37.100
IF YOU LET PEOPLE DISCOURAGE
00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:38.270
YOU.
00:04:38.270 --> 00:04:39.110
BAD BREAKS TALK YOU OUT OF IT.
00:04:39.110 --> 00:04:41.020
DELAYS CAUSE YOU TO QUIT
00:04:41.020 --> 00:04:42.130
BELIEVING, THEN YOU'RE GOING
00:04:42.130 --> 00:04:43.170
TO MISS WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU.
00:04:43.170 --> 00:04:46.090
THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF FAITH,
00:04:46.090 --> 00:04:48.240
DELIVERING FAITH, AND SUSTAINING
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.150
FAITH.
00:04:50.150 --> 00:04:51.200
DELIVERING FAITH IS WHEN GOD
00:04:51.200 --> 00:04:53.160
INSTANTLY TURNS IT AROUND.
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.020
THAT'S WHEN WE DEFEAT
00:04:55.020 --> 00:04:56.220
OUR GOLIATH.
00:04:56.220 --> 00:04:57.060
WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT.
00:04:57.060 --> 00:04:58.170
WE DON'T HAVE TO ENDURE.
00:04:58.170 --> 00:04:59.270
GOD SUDDENLY SHOWS OUT IN OUR
00:04:59.270 --> 00:05:02.160
LIFE.
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:03.000
BUT MOST OF THE TIME, WE'RE
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.120
GOING TO NEED SUSTAINING FAITH.
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.140
THAT'S WHEN GOD TAKES US
00:05:07.140 --> 00:05:08.290
THROUGH THE DIFFICULTY,
00:05:08.290 --> 00:05:09.280
THROUGH THE CHALLENGE.
00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:11.160
HE COULD TURN IT AROUND
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.140
RIGHT NOW.
00:05:13.140 --> 00:05:14.020
HE COULD CHANGE IT INSTANTLY,
00:05:14.020 --> 00:05:15.280
BUT IF HE DID THAT EVERY TIME,
00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:18.180
OUR FAITH WOULD NEVER DEVELOP.
00:05:18.180 --> 00:05:20.160
IT WOULDN'T GROW LIKE IT SHOULD.
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.260
SOMETHING HAPPENS
00:05:22.260 --> 00:05:23.290
IN THE STRUGGLE.
00:05:23.290 --> 00:05:25.190
WHEN OUR MIND TELLS US, "IT'S
00:05:25.190 --> 00:05:27.090
NEVER GOING TO WORK OUT,"
00:05:27.090 --> 00:05:28.220
BUT IN OUR HEART WE KNOW WHAT
00:05:28.220 --> 00:05:31.040
OUR MIND SAYS, "YOU'RE WASTING
00:05:33.070 --> 00:05:35.080
YOUR TIME.
00:05:35.080 --> 00:05:36.020
THERE'S NO USE EVEN BELIEVING
00:05:36.020 --> 00:05:37.200
ANYMORE," BUT YOU JUST KEEP
00:05:37.200 --> 00:05:39.080
ON KEEPING ON, TRUSTING GOD,
00:05:39.080 --> 00:05:41.040
THANKING HIM THAT
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:42.190
IT'S ON THE WAY.
00:05:42.190 --> 00:05:43.230
NOW, DON'T THINK THAT EVERYTHING
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:47.170
IS GOING TO BE EASY.
00:05:47.170 --> 00:05:49.070
DON'T EXPECT EVERY PERSON TO BE
00:05:49.070 --> 00:05:51.150
FOR YOU.
00:05:51.150 --> 00:05:52.080
JUST BECAUSE IT HASN'T HAPPENED
00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:53.260
YET, DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT GOING
00:05:53.260 --> 00:05:55.240
TO HAPPEN.
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.000
THE VICTORY IS ON THE OTHER SIDE
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.040
OF THE OPPOSITION.
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:00.040
IT TAKES STAYING POWER, A MADE
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.180
UP MIND, SOMEONE THAT'S NOT
00:06:02.180 --> 00:06:04.210
AT ONE POINT, DAVID SAW SAUL
00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:09.190
AND HIS MEN SLEEPING.
00:06:09.190 --> 00:06:11.080
HE SNUCK UP ON THEM AND
00:06:11.080 --> 00:06:13.140
HE COULD'VE EASILY TAKEN
00:06:13.140 --> 00:06:14.210
SAUL'S LIFE.
00:06:14.210 --> 00:06:16.050
THIS WAS HIS BIG CHANCE TO GET
00:06:16.050 --> 00:06:18.090
REVENGE, TO PAY HIM BACK,
00:06:18.090 --> 00:06:19.240
BUT DAVID WOULDN'T DO IT.
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.010
SAUL HAD BEEN ANOINTED TO BE
00:06:22.010 --> 00:06:24.080
THE KING.
00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:25.010
DAVID KNEW TO TOUCH NOT GOD'S
00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:28.080
ANOINTED.
00:06:28.080 --> 00:06:28.250
HAD DAVID TAKEN MATTERS INTO HIS
00:06:28.250 --> 00:06:30.180
OWN HANDS, THAT WOULD HAVE KEPT
00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:32.120
HIM FROM THE THRONE.
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.090
YOU HAVE TO PASS THE TEST
00:06:34.090 --> 00:06:36.060
OF HONORING THOSE WHO ARE
00:06:36.060 --> 00:06:37.230
IN AUTHORITY, NOT BECAUSE
00:06:37.230 --> 00:06:39.140
THEY'RE DOING WHAT'S RIGHT,
00:06:39.140 --> 00:06:41.050
BUT BECAUSE OF THEIR POSITION.
00:06:41.050 --> 00:06:43.110
IT'S EASY TO BE DISRESPECTFUL
00:06:43.110 --> 00:06:45.040
TO PEOPLE WHEN THEY'RE BEING
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.270
DISRESPECTFUL TO US.
00:06:46.270 --> 00:06:48.220
IT'S EASY TO WANT TO VINDICATE
00:06:48.220 --> 00:06:50.280
OURSELVES.
00:06:50.280 --> 00:06:51.120
HERE'S MY BIG CHANCE TO PAY THEM
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.140
AFTER ALL, THEY DID IT TO ME.
00:06:55.110 --> 00:06:57.100
NO STAY ON THE HIGH ROAD, LET
00:06:57.100 --> 00:06:59.210
GOD BE YOUR VINDICATOR, LET HIM
00:06:59.210 --> 00:07:01.250
PAY YOUR ENEMIES BACK.
00:07:01.250 --> 00:07:03.070
GOD SEES WHAT'S HAPPENING.
00:07:03.070 --> 00:07:05.000
HE SEES EVERY WRONG, EVERY
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.170
INJUSTICE.
00:07:07.170 --> 00:07:08.020
IF YOU'LL LEAVE IT UP TO GOD,
00:07:08.020 --> 00:07:10.030
HE'LL VINDICATE YOU BETTER THAN
00:07:10.030 --> 00:07:11.160
YOU CAN VINDICATE YOURSELF.
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.240
MONTH AFTER MONTH, DAVID KEPT
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.260
DOING THE RIGHT THING.
00:07:15.260 --> 00:07:17.160
HE COULD'VE BEEN SOUR.
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.020
"GOD, IT WAS EASY TO DEFEAT
00:07:19.020 --> 00:07:20.240
GOLIATH.
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:21.090
DAVID UNDERSTOOD, SOME
00:07:23.220 --> 00:07:25.160
OPPOSITION YOU HAVE TO OUTLAST.
00:07:25.220 --> 00:07:28.220
IF YOU GET DISCOURAGED, WORN
00:07:28.220 --> 00:07:30.080
DOWN, IT'S NEVER GOING
00:07:30.080 --> 00:07:31.160
TO HAPPEN, YOU'LL MISS WHAT GOD
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:34.020
HAS IN STORE, AND 13 YEARS
00:07:34.020 --> 00:07:36.180
AFTER DAVID WAS CHOSEN TO BE
00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:38.240
KING, AFTER ALL THE HIDING,
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.200
BEING MISTREATED, SAUL WAS
00:07:40.200 --> 00:07:42.180
KILLED IN A BATTLE.
00:07:42.180 --> 00:07:44.180
HE WAS SUDDENLY TAKEN AWAY
00:07:44.180 --> 00:07:46.280
AND DAVID BECAME THE KING.
00:07:46.280 --> 00:07:49.080
WHAT'S INTERESTING IS, DAVID
00:07:49.080 --> 00:07:51.040
NEVER DEFEATED SAUL.
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:52.160
HE'S SIMPLY OUTLASTED HIM,
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:53.270
AND WHEN YOU LET GOD FIGHT YOUR
00:07:53.270 --> 00:07:56.110
BATTLES, HE'LL GET YOU TO WHERE
00:07:56.110 --> 00:07:58.210
NOW, SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.160
YOU'RE FACING, YOU'RE BEING YOUR
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.080
BEST, BUT THINGS AREN'T
00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:05.270
IMPROVING.
00:08:05.270 --> 00:08:06.120
LIKE DAVID, YOU HAVE TO OUTLAST
00:08:06.170 --> 00:08:09.170
THAT OPPOSITION.
00:08:09.170 --> 00:08:10.190
IF YOU'LL JUST OUTLAST IT,
00:08:12.190 --> 00:08:14.180
YOU'LL SEE THE VICTORY.
00:08:14.180 --> 00:08:16.080
GOD WILL TAKE CARE
00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:18.030
OF YOUR SAULS.
00:08:18.030 --> 00:08:18.270
YOU KEEP HONORING GOD, AND YOU
00:08:18.270 --> 00:08:20.230
WON'T EVEN HAVE TO FIGHT.
00:08:20.230 --> 00:08:22.100
GOD WILL MOVE THE WRONG PEOPLE
00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:23.280
OUT OF THE WAY.
00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:25.010
HE'LL OPEN DOORS THAT YOU
00:08:25.010 --> 00:08:26.190
COULDN'T OPEN.
00:08:26.190 --> 00:08:27.090
HE'LL TURN THE SITUATION IN YOUR
00:08:27.090 --> 00:08:29.150
HEALTH AROUND.
00:08:29.150 --> 00:08:30.070
NOW, OUTLAST THE SICKNESS,
00:08:30.070 --> 00:08:32.110
OUTLAST THE LONELINESS, OUTLAST
00:08:32.110 --> 00:08:34.160
THE TROUBLE AT WORK.
00:08:34.160 --> 00:08:35.220
YOU HAVE TO TAP INTO YOUR
00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:37.250
STAYING POWER.
00:08:37.250 --> 00:08:38.150
FOR THIS BIG COMPANY.
00:08:40.030 --> 00:08:40.280
FOR YEARS, HIS SUPERVISOR WAS
00:08:40.280 --> 00:08:42.280
AGAINST HIM, WAS ALWAYS PUTTING
00:08:42.280 --> 00:08:44.290
HIM DOWN, MAKING HIM LOOK BAD.
00:08:44.290 --> 00:08:47.200
THIS SUPERVISOR EVEN WENT
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:48.270
TO THE MAIN BOSS AND TRIED
00:08:48.270 --> 00:08:50.240
TO GET THIS MAN FIRED,
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.100
BUT THE BOSS WOULDN'T DO IT.
00:08:52.100 --> 00:08:54.080
THE BOSS TOOK ALL OF HIS OTHER
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.160
RECOMMENDATIONS.
00:08:56.160 --> 00:08:57.010
WHY WOULDN'T HE TAKE THIS ONE?
00:08:57.010 --> 00:08:58.190
BECAUSE GOD IS IN CONTROL
00:08:58.190 --> 00:09:00.190
OF YOUR LIFE, NOT PEOPLE, NOT
00:09:00.190 --> 00:09:02.280
THE SICKNESS, NOT THE ADDICTION.
00:09:02.280 --> 00:09:04.170
THIS SUPERVISOR WAS ALWAYS
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.130
SPREADING RUMORS ABOUT THIS MAN,
00:09:08.130 --> 00:09:10.190
TRYING TO POISON HIM IN FRONT
00:09:10.190 --> 00:09:12.150
OF ALL THE OTHER EMPLOYEES,
00:09:12.150 --> 00:09:14.020
BUT THIS MAN JUST KEPT DOING
00:09:14.020 --> 00:09:16.000
THE RIGHT THING, OVERLOOKING
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.100
OFFENSES, BEIN' GOOD TO PEOPLE.
00:09:17.100 --> 00:09:19.260
ONE MORNING, THIS SUPERVISOR WAS
00:09:19.260 --> 00:09:21.270
CALLED INTO THE MAIN OFFICE.
00:09:21.270 --> 00:09:23.290
HE'D BEEN WITH THE COMPANY
00:09:23.290 --> 00:09:25.150
OVER 20 YEARS.
00:09:25.150 --> 00:09:26.140
LOOKED LIKE HE WOULD RETIRE
00:09:26.140 --> 00:09:28.010
THERE, BUT THAT DAY HE WAS
00:09:28.010 --> 00:09:29.290
UNEXPECTEDLY TERMINATED.
00:09:29.290 --> 00:09:32.030
THEY LET HIM GO.
00:09:32.030 --> 00:09:33.180
A FEW MINUTES LATER,
00:09:33.180 --> 00:09:34.290
THEY CALLED MY FRIEND IN.
00:09:34.290 --> 00:09:36.000
THEY GAVE HIM THE SUPERVISOR'S
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.280
JOB.
00:09:39.280 --> 00:09:41.060
HE SAID, "JOEL, I WASN'T
00:09:41.060 --> 00:09:42.210
QUALIFIED FOR THE POSITION.
00:09:42.210 --> 00:09:43.280
THERE WERE OTHERS IN FRONT
00:09:43.280 --> 00:09:45.060
OF ME, BUT FOR SOME REASON, THEY
00:09:45.060 --> 00:09:47.010
CHOSE ME TO HEAD UP THIS
00:09:47.010 --> 00:09:49.240
DEPARTMENT."
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:50.090
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, "THE TRAP
00:09:50.090 --> 00:09:51.250
THE ENEMY SET FOR YOU, THEY WILL
00:09:51.250 --> 00:09:53.280
YOU MAY HAVE PEOPLE AGAINST YOU,
00:09:56.040 --> 00:09:57.250
TRYIN' TO DISCREDIT YOU,
00:09:57.250 --> 00:09:59.100
MAKE YOU LOOK BAD.
00:09:59.100 --> 00:10:00.180
YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT THOSE
00:10:00.180 --> 00:10:02.200
BATTLES, JUST OUTLASTS
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:03.210
THE OPPOSITION.
00:10:03.210 --> 00:10:05.040
KEEP DOING THE RIGHT THING.
00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:06.240
KEEP BEING FAITHFUL EACH DAY,
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:08.140
AND GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF WHO'S
00:10:08.140 --> 00:10:10.260
TRYIN' TO STOP YOU.
00:10:10.260 --> 00:10:12.270
ARE YOU UPSET OVER WHAT'S
00:10:12.270 --> 00:10:15.080
NOT CHANGING?
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:15.230
YOU'RE PRAYING, BELIEVING,
00:10:15.230 --> 00:10:16.290
BUT IT'S NOT IMPROVING.
00:10:16.290 --> 00:10:18.180
IT'S BECAUSE THAT'S NOT
00:10:18.180 --> 00:10:20.170
A GOLIATH, THAT'S A SAUL.
00:10:20.170 --> 00:10:23.010
YOU CAN'T PRAY IT AWAY.
00:10:23.010 --> 00:10:24.190
YOU CAN'T MAKE IT WORK OUT.
00:10:24.190 --> 00:10:26.070
YOU HAVE TO OUTLAST IT.
00:10:26.070 --> 00:10:28.130
NOW, TRUST GOD'S TIMING.
00:10:28.130 --> 00:10:30.210
GOD KNOWS WHAT HE PROMISED YOU.
00:10:30.210 --> 00:10:32.190
HE KNOWS WHAT HE PUT
00:10:32.190 --> 00:10:33.220
ON THE INSIDE, AND AT THE RIGHT
00:10:33.220 --> 00:10:35.080
GOD TOLD MOSES IN THE BOOK
00:10:37.290 --> 00:10:39.230
OF EXODUS TO GO TELL THE PHARAOH
00:10:39.230 --> 00:10:42.020
TO LET THE ISRAELITES GO.
00:10:42.020 --> 00:10:44.010
THEY HAD BEEN IN SLAVERY
00:10:44.010 --> 00:10:45.210
FOR MANY YEARS.
00:10:45.210 --> 00:10:46.210
MOSES TOLD GOD THAT HE DIDN'T
00:10:46.210 --> 00:10:48.110
WANT TO GO, THAT PHARAOH
00:10:48.110 --> 00:10:49.180
HE FINALLY WENT, BUT IT WAS JUST
00:10:51.160 --> 00:10:53.260
LIKE MOSES THOUGHT.
00:10:53.260 --> 00:10:54.290
THE PHARAOH BASICALLY LAUGHED
00:10:54.290 --> 00:10:56.170
AT HIM.
00:10:56.170 --> 00:10:57.110
HE SAID, "MOSES, WHO ARE YOU
00:10:57.110 --> 00:10:59.000
TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO?
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:00.210
YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY HERE.
00:11:00.210 --> 00:11:02.110
MOSES WENT BACK AND SAID, "GOD,
00:11:04.100 --> 00:11:05.250
I TOLD YOU HE WOULDN'T LISTEN.
00:11:05.250 --> 00:11:07.120
I TOLD YOU IT WOULDN'T
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.030
WORK OUT."
00:11:08.030 --> 00:11:09.230
WHAT'S INTERESTING IS,
00:11:09.230 --> 00:11:10.280
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT GOD
00:11:10.280 --> 00:11:13.020
CAUSED PHARAOH TO BE STUBBORN
00:11:13.020 --> 00:11:15.030
SO HE COULD SHOW HIS POWER
00:11:15.030 --> 00:11:17.170
IN A GREATER WAY.
00:11:17.170 --> 00:11:19.160
GOD HAD MOSES GO BACK AGAIN,
00:11:19.160 --> 00:11:21.260
AND AGAIN, BUT HE ALREADY KNEW
00:11:21.260 --> 00:11:24.060
PHARAOH WOULD SAY NO.
00:11:24.060 --> 00:11:25.250
HIS HEART.
00:11:27.280 --> 00:11:28.210
MOSES COULD'VE SAID,
00:11:28.210 --> 00:11:30.130
"GOD, I GIVE UP.
00:11:30.130 --> 00:11:31.040
I'M DOING WHAT YOU ASKED ME
00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:32.130
TO DO, BUT IT'S NOT MAKING
00:11:32.130 --> 00:11:33.230
A DIFFERENCE."
00:11:33.230 --> 00:11:35.010
NO, HE JUST KEPT DOING THE RIGHT
00:11:35.010 --> 00:11:37.050
THING, EVEN THOUGH NOTHING WAS
00:11:37.050 --> 00:11:38.210
CHANGING.
00:11:38.210 --> 00:11:39.290
EVERYTHING IN HIM SAID, "YOU'RE
00:11:39.290 --> 00:11:41.250
WASTING YOUR TIME.
00:11:41.250 --> 00:11:43.000
IT WOULD'VE HAPPENED BY NOW.
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:44.200
THIS MAN IS NEVER GOING
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:45.250
TO CHANGE HIS MIND."
00:11:45.250 --> 00:11:46.240
HE HAD TO OUTLAST PHARAOH'S
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.030
STUBBORNNESS, AND I WONDER IF
00:11:49.030 --> 00:11:51.110
YOU'RE FRUSTRATED BY AN ENEMY
00:11:51.110 --> 00:11:53.090
THAT GOD IS CAUSING TO BE
00:11:53.090 --> 00:11:55.190
STUBBORN.
00:11:55.190 --> 00:11:56.260
HE'S NOT LETTING IT WORK
00:11:56.260 --> 00:11:58.140
OUT YET BECAUSE HE'S GOING
00:11:58.140 --> 00:12:00.030
TO USE THAT SITUATION
00:12:00.030 --> 00:12:01.210
TO CATAPULT YOU TO A NEW LEVEL.
00:12:01.210 --> 00:12:04.140
ALL YOU CAN SEE IS,
00:12:04.140 --> 00:12:06.220
NOTHING IS IMPROVING.
00:12:06.220 --> 00:12:07.160
WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE IS WHAT GOD
00:12:07.160 --> 00:12:09.240
IS ABOUT TO DO, THE DOORS HE'S
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:12.020
ABOUT TO OPEN, THE HEALING,
00:12:12.020 --> 00:12:13.280
THE FAVOR, THE VINDICATION,
00:12:13.280 --> 00:12:15.130
THE BREAKTHROUGHS.
00:12:15.130 --> 00:12:17.110
NOW, YOU MAY HAVE SOME
00:12:17.110 --> 00:12:19.150
STUBBORN ENEMIES.
00:12:19.150 --> 00:12:20.040
THE GOOD NEWS, THEY ARE NOT TOO
00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:22.150
STUBBORN FOR OUR GOD.
00:12:22.150 --> 00:12:23.270
HE WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED IT IF
00:12:23.270 --> 00:12:25.160
HE WASN'T GOING TO BRING YOU
00:12:25.160 --> 00:12:27.000
OUT BETTER.
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:28.160
NOW, YOU HAVE TO GET
00:12:28.160 --> 00:12:30.080
YOUR FIRE BACK.
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:30.270
DIG YOUR HEELS IN A LITTLE BIT
00:12:30.270 --> 00:12:33.020
DEEPER AND SHOW THE ENEMY YOU'RE
00:12:33.020 --> 00:12:34.290
MORE DETERMINED THAN HE IS.
00:12:34.290 --> 00:12:36.260
GOD DIDN'T BRING YOU THIS FAR
00:12:36.260 --> 00:12:38.290
TO LEAVE YOU.
00:12:38.290 --> 00:12:40.010
HE DIDN'T LET PHARAOH SAY NO
00:12:40.010 --> 00:12:42.120
BECAUSE HE'S MORE POWERFUL.
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.000
GOD IS SETTING YOU UP TO SHOW
00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.170
OUT IN YOUR LIFE.
00:12:46.170 --> 00:12:48.020
HE ALLOWED THE OPPOSITION NOT
00:12:48.020 --> 00:12:50.080
TO STOP YOU, BUT TO PROMOTE YOU.
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:53.120
NOW, YOU NEED TO BE MORE
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.110
STUBBORN IN YOUR FAITH THEN
00:12:55.110 --> 00:12:57.020
THE STUBBORN THINGS THAT COME
00:12:57.020 --> 00:12:58.270
AGAINST YOU.
00:12:58.270 --> 00:12:59.190
THAT SICKNESS MAY BE STUBBORN.
00:12:59.190 --> 00:13:01.220
YOU CAN'T SEEM TO GET WELL.
00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:03.090
THAT'S OKAY.
00:13:03.090 --> 00:13:04.160
I'M MORE STUBBORN THAN
00:13:04.160 --> 00:13:05.190
THE SICKNESS.
00:13:05.190 --> 00:13:06.060
I WILL LIVE AND NOT DIE.
00:13:06.060 --> 00:13:08.040
FATHER, THANK YOU THAT YOU'RE
00:13:08.040 --> 00:13:09.170
RESTORING HEALTH BACK UNTO ME.
00:13:09.170 --> 00:13:11.010
THANK YOU.
00:13:11.010 --> 00:13:12.090
THE NUMBER OF MY DAYS,
00:13:12.090 --> 00:13:13.260
YOU WILL FULFILL.
00:13:13.260 --> 00:13:14.120
THAT FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY IS
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.100
STUBBORN.
00:13:16.100 --> 00:13:16.250
THAT'S BEEN IN MY FAMILY LINE
00:13:16.250 --> 00:13:18.100
FOR GENERATIONS, BUT CAN I TELL
00:13:18.100 --> 00:13:19.240
YOU, I'M MORE STUBBORN.
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.190
I WILL LEND AND NOT BORROW.
00:13:21.190 --> 00:13:23.200
FATHER, THANK YOU THAT ABUNDANCE
00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:25.060
IS COMING MY WAY.
00:13:25.060 --> 00:13:26.130
THANK YOU THAT WHAT I TOUCH
00:13:26.130 --> 00:13:28.220
PROSPERS AND SUCCEEDS.
00:13:28.220 --> 00:13:29.270
MOSES WENT BACK AND TOLD
00:13:29.270 --> 00:13:31.220
THE PHARAOH AGAIN AND AGAIN
00:13:31.220 --> 00:13:33.190
TO LET THEM GO, BUT PHARAOH
00:13:33.190 --> 00:13:36.100
WAS STUBBORN.
00:13:36.100 --> 00:13:36.240
YET, MOSES WAS MORE STUBBORN.
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.180
EVERY TIME THE ENEMY TELLS YOU,
00:13:39.180 --> 00:13:41.070
"NO," YOU NEED TO GO BACK
00:13:41.070 --> 00:13:42.270
AND TELL HIM, "YES,"
00:13:42.270 --> 00:13:44.170
ONE MORE TIME.
00:13:44.170 --> 00:13:45.070
DON'T LET THE ENEMY HAVE
00:13:45.070 --> 00:13:46.230
THE LAST WORD.
00:13:46.230 --> 00:13:47.210
KEEP SPEAKING FAITH OVER
00:13:47.210 --> 00:13:49.110
YOUR LIFE.
00:13:49.110 --> 00:13:49.270
KEEP DECLARING FAVOR.
00:13:49.270 --> 00:13:51.180
KEEP CALLING YOURSELF BLESSED,
00:13:51.180 --> 00:13:54.110
HEALTHY, STRONG, VICTORIOUS.
00:13:54.110 --> 00:13:56.140
PHARAOH FINALLY DECIDED TO LET
00:13:56.140 --> 00:13:58.050
THE ISRAELITES GO, AND THESE 2
00:13:58.050 --> 00:14:00.090
MILLION PEOPLE HEADED TOWARD
00:14:00.090 --> 00:14:02.040
THE PROMISED LAND.
00:14:02.040 --> 00:14:03.160
WASN'T LONG BEFORE PHARAOH
00:14:03.160 --> 00:14:04.290
CHANGED HIS MIND AND CAME
00:14:04.290 --> 00:14:06.230
CHASING AFTER THEM.
00:14:06.230 --> 00:14:08.210
IT LOOKED LIKE A SETBACK,
00:14:08.210 --> 00:14:10.120
BUT REALLY, GOD WAS SETTING THEM
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:12.140
UP.
00:14:12.140 --> 00:14:13.210
THEY WERE AT A DEAD END
00:14:13.210 --> 00:14:15.050
AT THE RED SEA.
00:14:15.050 --> 00:14:16.040
THEY HAD NOWHERE TO GO, BUT JUST
00:14:16.040 --> 00:14:18.090
BECAUSE YOU'VE RUN
00:14:18.090 --> 00:14:19.080
OUT OF OPTIONS, DOESN'T MEAN GOD
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.040
HAS RUN OUT OF OPTIONS.
00:14:21.040 --> 00:14:22.220
GOD TOLD THE ISRAELITES, "THE
00:14:22.220 --> 00:14:24.160
ENEMIES YOU SEE TODAY, YOU WILL
00:14:24.160 --> 00:14:26.210
SEE NO MORE."
00:14:26.210 --> 00:14:28.110
THE RED SEA PARTED.
00:14:28.110 --> 00:14:29.270
THE ISRAELITES WENT
00:14:29.270 --> 00:14:30.260
THROUGH ON DRY GROUND.
00:14:30.260 --> 00:14:32.050
WHEN PHARAOH AND THE ARMY CAME
00:14:32.050 --> 00:14:34.020
CHASING, THE WATERS CLOSED UP.
00:14:34.020 --> 00:14:35.200
THEY WERE ALL DROWNED.
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:36.280
THEY SAW THOSE ENEMIES NO MORE.
00:14:36.280 --> 00:14:39.180
YOU MAY HAVE SITUATIONS THAT
00:14:39.180 --> 00:14:41.030
LOOK LIKE THEY'LL NEVER
00:14:41.030 --> 00:14:42.140
WORK OUT.
00:14:42.140 --> 00:14:43.240
GOD IS SAYING TO YOU WHAT HE
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.190
SAID TO THEM.
00:14:45.190 --> 00:14:46.130
THAT DEPRESSION, YOU'RE
00:14:46.130 --> 00:14:47.150
THAT IS NOT YOUR DESTINY.
00:14:49.220 --> 00:14:51.190
THAT STRUGGLE IN YOUR FINANCES,
00:14:51.190 --> 00:14:53.100
YOU CAN'T GET AHEAD, YOU'RE
00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:55.020
ABOUT TO SEE THE ENEMY OF LACK
00:14:55.020 --> 00:14:57.190
NO MORE.
00:14:57.190 --> 00:14:58.110
GOD'S ABOUT TO RELEASE YOU
00:14:58.110 --> 00:15:00.200
INTO ABUNDANCE.
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:01.180
THE SICKNESS THAT'S BEEN
00:15:01.180 --> 00:15:03.050
HINDERING YOU, THE ADDICTION,
00:15:03.050 --> 00:15:04.230
THE LONELINESS, THE ANXIETY, YOU
00:15:04.230 --> 00:15:06.110
MIGHT AS WELL HAVE A GOING AWAY
00:15:06.110 --> 00:15:08.190
PARTY.
00:15:08.190 --> 00:15:09.250
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THEM
00:15:09.250 --> 00:15:10.130
NO MORE.
00:15:10.130 --> 00:15:10.270
GOD IS DOING A NEW THING.
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:14.120
NOW, KEEP THIS TENACITY
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:16.090
DOWN IN YOUR SPIRIT.
00:15:16.090 --> 00:15:18.060
THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE
00:15:18.060 --> 00:15:20.000
TIRED, AND WEAK, AND RUNDOWN.
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:21.100
YOU'VE BEEN ARMED WITH STRENGTH
00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:23.040
FOR EVERY BATTLE.
00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:24.080
YOU ARE NOT WEAK.
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:25.160
YOU ARE WELL ABLE TO OUTLAST
00:15:25.160 --> 00:15:27.290
WHAT'S TRYING TO STOP YOU.
00:15:27.290 --> 00:15:30.000
OVER THESE LAST 20 YEARS THAT
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.250
I'VE BEEN PASTORING, I'VE HAD
00:15:31.250 --> 00:15:33.110
TO LEARN TO OUTLAST SOME THINGS.
00:15:33.110 --> 00:15:35.230
WHEN I FIRST STEPPED
00:15:35.230 --> 00:15:36.280
UP TO MINISTER, EVERY THOUGHT
00:15:36.280 --> 00:15:38.120
TOLD ME THAT I COULDN'T DO IT,
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.070
THAT I WASN'T QUALIFIED, THAT I
00:15:40.070 --> 00:15:41.240
DIDN'T HAVE THE TALENT.
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.100
I TRIED TO PUSH THOSE THOUGHTS
00:15:43.100 --> 00:15:44.270
DOWN, BUT THEY CAME RIGHT
00:15:44.270 --> 00:15:46.160
BACK UP.
00:15:46.160 --> 00:15:47.220
THEY WERE STUBBORN.
00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:49.000
I COULDN'T PRAY THEM AWAY,
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:50.230
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THEM AWAY,
00:15:50.230 --> 00:15:52.080
I HAD TO OUTLAST THE INSECURITY,
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.000
THE INTIMIDATION.
00:15:57.100 --> 00:15:59.000
I WISH I COULD TELL YOU, IF YOU
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:00.240
HAD ENOUGH FAITH, YOU WOULD
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:01.270
NEVER HAVE TO FIGHT FEAR,
00:16:01.270 --> 00:16:04.000
OR ANXIETY, OR PEOPLE BEING
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.040
AGAINST YOU.
00:16:06.040 --> 00:16:07.120
THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.190
SOME THINGS YOU JUST HAVE
00:16:08.190 --> 00:16:10.120
TO OUTLAST.
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:11.040
YOU HAVE TO BE MORE DETERMINED
00:16:11.040 --> 00:16:12.200
THAN WHAT'S TRYING TO HOLD YOU
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:14.060
BACK.
00:16:14.060 --> 00:16:15.120
20 YEARS LATER, I DON'T FIGHT
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:17.030
THOSE SAME THOUGHTS.
00:16:17.030 --> 00:16:17.290
I DON'T SEE TODAY.
00:16:21.030 --> 00:16:22.100
WHAT AM I SAYING?
00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:24.000
DON'T GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE.
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.020
DON'T BELIEVE THE LIES THAT
00:16:26.020 --> 00:16:27.220
WHERE YOU ARE AS PERMANENT.
00:16:27.220 --> 00:16:29.120
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THAT WAY.
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:31.030
OUTLAST THE OPPOSITION.
00:16:31.030 --> 00:16:33.010
KEEP BELIEVING.
00:16:33.010 --> 00:16:34.120
KEEP REPROGRAMMING YOUR MIND
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:35.270
KEEP THANKING GOD THAT HE'S
00:16:35.270 --> 00:16:37.240
BIGGER THAN WHAT YOU'RE FACING.
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.080
A FEW YEARS AFTER I STARTED
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.000
PASTORING, THE CHURCH BEGAN
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.050
TO REALLY GROW, AND MORE PEOPLE
00:16:43.050 --> 00:16:45.170
STARTED WATCHING.
00:16:45.170 --> 00:16:46.120
THAT'S GREAT, BUT WITH ALL
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:48.110
THE EXPOSURE COMES MORE CRITICS,
00:16:48.110 --> 00:16:50.100
AND PEOPLE THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND
00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:51.230
YOU, PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT YOU
00:16:51.230 --> 00:16:53.160
TO SUCCEED.
00:16:53.160 --> 00:16:54.230
AT FIRST, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW IT
00:16:54.230 --> 00:16:56.150
WAS GOING TO WORK OUT.
00:16:56.150 --> 00:16:57.240
IT SEEMED LIKE EVERY WEEK
00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.040
SOMEONE WAS COMING AGAINST US
00:16:59.040 --> 00:17:00.160
TRYING TO DISCREDIT US, BUT I
00:17:00.160 --> 00:17:02.270
NEVER DEBATED WITH PEOPLE.
00:17:02.270 --> 00:17:04.160
I NEVER TRIED TO CHANGE
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.010
THEIR MINDS.
00:17:06.010 --> 00:17:06.150
I JUST KEPT RUNNING MY RACE
00:17:06.150 --> 00:17:08.050
HONORING GOD, BEIN' THE BEST
00:17:08.050 --> 00:17:09.180
THAT I COULD BE.
00:17:09.180 --> 00:17:11.180
IT WAS ABOUT 10 YEARS IN THAT I
00:17:11.180 --> 00:17:14.120
FELT SOMETHING LIFT OFF OF ME.
00:17:14.120 --> 00:17:16.150
IT WAS LIKE GOD SAID, "ALL
00:17:16.150 --> 00:17:18.150
RIGHT, JOEL, YOU'VE OUTLASTED
00:17:18.150 --> 00:17:19.250
YOUR CRITICS.
00:17:19.250 --> 00:17:21.030
YOU PASSED THIS TEST.
00:17:21.030 --> 00:17:22.100
NOW, THE ENEMIES YOU SEE TODAY,
00:17:22.100 --> 00:17:24.190
YOU WON'T SEE ANYMORE."
00:17:24.190 --> 00:17:26.050
AND YES, SURE, I STILL HAVE
00:17:26.050 --> 00:17:27.270
A FEW CRITICS, MAYBE A COUPLE,
00:17:27.270 --> 00:17:29.190
BUT PEOPLE CAN'T STOP
00:17:29.190 --> 00:17:31.240
YOUR DESTINY.
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:32.080
GOD BEING FOR YOU IS MORE THAN
00:17:32.080 --> 00:17:34.200
THE WORLD BEING AGAINST YOU.
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:36.130
MY ENCOURAGEMENT, DON'T FIGHT
00:17:36.130 --> 00:17:38.190
WITH YOUR CRITICS.
00:17:38.190 --> 00:17:40.080
JUST OUTLAST THEM.
00:17:40.080 --> 00:17:42.080
LET YOUR ACTIONS SPEAK FOR YOU.
00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:44.210
LET YOUR SUCCESS DO THE TALKING.
00:17:44.210 --> 00:17:47.190
PAUL SAID IN EPHESIANS, "HAVING
00:17:47.190 --> 00:17:49.180
DONE ALL TO STAND," HE WAS
00:17:49.180 --> 00:17:51.280
SAYING, WHEN YOU'VE DONE
00:17:51.280 --> 00:17:53.060
EVERYTHING YOU CAN, YOU'VE DONE
00:17:53.060 --> 00:17:54.240
YOUR BEST TO GET WELL, YOU'VE
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.110
BEEN GOOD TO PEOPLE THAT WEREN'T
00:17:56.110 --> 00:17:57.280
GOOD TO YOU, YOU'VE WORKED HARD
00:17:57.280 --> 00:17:59.270
AND HAVEN'T SEEN INCREASE.
00:17:59.270 --> 00:18:01.100
WHAT DO YOU DO?
00:18:01.100 --> 00:18:02.170
GET UPSET, DISCOURAGED, GIVE UP?
00:18:02.170 --> 00:18:04.280
NO, JUST STAND.
00:18:04.280 --> 00:18:06.240
STANDING IS TRUSTING GOD,
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.170
KNOWING THAT HE IS IN CONTROL.
00:18:08.170 --> 00:18:11.070
WHEN YOU'RE STANDING, YOU'RE NOT
00:18:11.070 --> 00:18:13.000
FRUSTRATED BY WHAT'S NOT
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:14.130
HAPPENING, YOU'RE NOT
00:18:14.130 --> 00:18:15.240
COMPLAINING BECAUSE IT'S TAKING
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:17.180
SO LONG.
00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:18.260
YOU'RE AT PEACE.
00:18:18.260 --> 00:18:20.020
YOU'RE AT REST.
00:18:20.020 --> 00:18:21.090
YOU KNOW WHAT GOD STARTED
00:18:21.090 --> 00:18:22.150
IN YOUR LIFE, HE'S GOING
00:18:22.150 --> 00:18:23.230
TO FINISH.
00:18:23.230 --> 00:18:25.030
THE AMPLIFIED SAYS, "STAND FIRM,
00:18:25.150 --> 00:18:28.150
IMMOVABLE."
00:18:28.150 --> 00:18:29.060
THAT MEANS, YOU'RE NOT MOVED
00:18:29.060 --> 00:18:31.020
BY THE MEDICAL REPORT.
00:18:31.020 --> 00:18:32.170
YOU'RE NOT MOVED BY HOW YOUR
00:18:32.170 --> 00:18:34.040
CHILD IS ACTING.
00:18:34.040 --> 00:18:34.290
YOU'RE NOT MOVED BY THE CONTRACT
00:18:34.290 --> 00:18:36.190
THAT DIDN'T GO THROUGH.
00:18:36.190 --> 00:18:37.240
BELIEVING, YOU KEEP THANKING
00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:41.170
GOD, YOU KEEP BEING YOUR BEST.
00:18:41.170 --> 00:18:43.220
QUITTING IS NOT AN OPTION.
00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:45.240
GIVING UP IS NOT
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:47.200
IN YOUR MINDSET.
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:48.070
YOU KNOW WHAT GOD PROMISED
00:18:48.070 --> 00:18:49.280
IS ON THE WAY, AND IF IT'S NOT
00:18:49.280 --> 00:18:52.000
YOU JUST KEEP STANDING.
00:18:54.020 --> 00:18:55.170
SOMEBODY ASKED, "ARE YOU STILL
00:18:55.170 --> 00:18:57.130
BELIEVING TO GET WELL?
00:18:57.130 --> 00:18:58.280
YOU'VE HAD THAT SICKNESS
00:18:58.280 --> 00:19:00.170
A LONG TIME.
00:19:00.170 --> 00:19:01.020
I SAW THE MEDICAL REPORT.
00:19:01.020 --> 00:19:02.120
I'M GOING TO STAND.
00:19:04.010 --> 00:19:05.140
I'M GOING TO TRUST GOD.
00:19:05.140 --> 00:19:06.290
I'M GOING TO THANK HIM THAT
00:19:06.290 --> 00:19:08.150
HEALING IS COMING.
00:19:08.150 --> 00:19:09.090
I'M GOING TO KEEP DECLARING THAT
00:19:09.090 --> 00:19:11.150
I'M HEALTHY, WHOLE, AND STRONG.
00:19:11.150 --> 00:19:13.110
"WELL, HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING
00:19:13.110 --> 00:19:14.230
TO STAND?"
00:19:14.230 --> 00:19:15.080
WHAT GOD PROMISED ME COME
00:19:17.170 --> 00:19:19.030
TO PASS.
00:19:19.030 --> 00:19:20.180
GOD IS LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO
00:19:20.180 --> 00:19:23.150
HAVE STUBBORN FAITH.
00:19:23.150 --> 00:19:24.290
ANYBODY CAN GET DISCOURAGED.
00:19:24.290 --> 00:19:26.250
ANYBODY CAN GIVE UP AND SAY,
00:19:26.250 --> 00:19:28.270
"PHARAOH SAID NO."
00:19:28.270 --> 00:19:29.280
IF YOU'RE GOING TO REACH YOUR
00:19:29.280 --> 00:19:31.120
DESTINY, YOU HAVE TO MAKE
00:19:31.120 --> 00:19:32.180
UP YOUR MIND, YOU'RE GOING
00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:34.000
TO STAND NO MATTER WHAT COMES
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:35.220
AGAINST YOU, AND NO MATTER HOW
00:19:35.220 --> 00:19:37.220
LONG IT TAKES.
00:19:37.220 --> 00:19:38.230
BETRAYALS, SHIPWRECKS, BEATINGS,
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:43.270
BEING LIED ABOUT.
00:19:43.270 --> 00:19:45.140
HE HAD PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES
00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:47.120
TO GET STUCK.
00:19:47.120 --> 00:19:48.170
HE COULD'VE SAID,
00:19:48.170 --> 00:19:49.160
"GOD, IT'S NOT FAIR.
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:50.170
ALL THESE THINGS HAVE COME
00:19:50.170 --> 00:19:52.030
AGAINST ME."
00:19:52.030 --> 00:19:52.220
INSTEAD, HE HAD STUBBORN FAITH.
00:19:52.220 --> 00:19:55.180
HE SAID IN ACTS 20, "NONE
00:19:55.180 --> 00:19:57.240
OF THESE THINGS MOVE ME."
00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:59.190
HE WAS SAYING, "I'M NOT MOVED
00:19:59.190 --> 00:20:01.140
BY THE OPPOSITION."
00:20:01.140 --> 00:20:02.120
WAS, BY HOW LONG IT WAS TAKING.
00:20:04.150 --> 00:20:06.120
HE JUST KEPT STANDING.
00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:08.090
HE WENT ON TO WRITE OVER HALF
00:20:08.090 --> 00:20:10.000
OF THE BOOKS IN
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:11.080
THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:20:11.080 --> 00:20:13.000
WE NEED TO GET TO THE PLACE
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.190
WHERE WE CAN SAY LIKE PAUL,
00:20:14.190 --> 00:20:16.020
"NONE OF THESE THINGS MOVE ME."
00:20:16.020 --> 00:20:18.090
NOT MOVED BY THE ECONOMY, NOT
00:20:18.090 --> 00:20:20.060
MOVED BY WHAT'S NOT WORKING OUT.
00:20:20.060 --> 00:20:22.050
I HAVE A MADE UP MIND.
00:20:22.050 --> 00:20:23.280
I'M GOING TO KEEP STANDING, KEEP
00:20:23.280 --> 00:20:26.140
BELIEVING, KEEP TRUSTING.
00:20:26.140 --> 00:20:27.220
I'M GOING TO OUTLAST WHAT'S
00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:29.110
TRYING TO STOP ME, AND THIS IS
00:20:29.110 --> 00:20:31.210
ONE TIME, WHERE IT'S GOOD
00:20:31.210 --> 00:20:33.190
TO BE STUBBORN.
00:20:33.190 --> 00:20:34.070
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE TALKED
00:20:34.070 --> 00:20:35.200
OUT OF WHAT GOD PUT
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:36.250
I WAS AT THE BEACH ONE TIME WHEN
00:20:38.140 --> 00:20:40.170
OUR CHILDREN WERE SMALL.
00:20:40.170 --> 00:20:41.200
ALEXANDRA WAS THREE AND JONATHAN
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:43.110
WAS SIX, AND WE WERE HAVING
00:20:43.110 --> 00:20:45.130
A FUN TIME MAKING CASTLES
00:20:45.130 --> 00:20:47.050
IN THE SAND WHEN THIS LITTLE
00:20:47.050 --> 00:20:49.090
YELLOW BUMBLEBEE CAME AND LANDED
00:20:49.090 --> 00:20:51.130
RIGHT BESIDE US.
00:20:51.130 --> 00:20:52.210
WELL, ALEXANDRA SCREAMED
00:20:52.210 --> 00:20:53.170
AND TOOK OFF RUNNING, AND I JUST
00:20:53.170 --> 00:20:55.170
SWATTED HIM OUT OF THE WAY,
00:20:55.170 --> 00:20:57.040
AND WE WENT BACK TO PLAYING.
00:20:57.040 --> 00:20:58.230
THIRTY SECONDS LATER, HE WAS
00:20:58.230 --> 00:21:00.240
RIGHT BACK, FLYING ALL
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.120
AROUND US, AND THE KIDS STARTED
00:21:02.120 --> 00:21:04.140
SCREAMING.
00:21:04.140 --> 00:21:04.270
I GOT MY TOWEL AND I SWATTED HIM
00:21:04.270 --> 00:21:07.010
DOWN TO THE GROUND.
00:21:07.010 --> 00:21:08.050
I THOUGHT I SHOWED HIM
00:21:08.050 --> 00:21:09.280
WHO'S BOSS.
00:21:09.280 --> 00:21:10.160
A MINUTE LATER, THERE HE WAS
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.180
AGAIN, AND JUST BUZZING ALL
00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:14.100
AROUND ANNOYING US.
00:21:14.100 --> 00:21:15.250
THIS TIME, I NOT ONLY SWATTED
00:21:15.250 --> 00:21:17.140
HIM TO THE GROUND, BUT I GOT MY
00:21:17.140 --> 00:21:19.200
TENNIS SHOES AND I SQUASHED HIM
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:21.180
INTO THE SAND AS HARD AS I
00:21:21.180 --> 00:21:23.270
COULD.
00:21:23.270 --> 00:21:25.040
I THOUGHT I'M TIRED OF DEALING
00:21:25.040 --> 00:21:26.020
WITH HIM.
00:21:26.020 --> 00:21:26.200
A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER, I
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:28.120
LOOKED OVER JUST TO MAKE SURE HE
00:21:28.120 --> 00:21:30.130
WAS STILL DEAD.
00:21:30.130 --> 00:21:31.220
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
00:21:31.220 --> 00:21:33.000
I SAW ONE WING BARELY START
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.130
TO MOVE.
00:21:35.130 --> 00:21:36.070
THEN ANOTHER WING CAME
00:21:36.070 --> 00:21:37.180
UP OUT OF THE SAND.
00:21:37.180 --> 00:21:39.100
HE WALKED AROUND FOR A FEW
00:21:39.100 --> 00:21:41.030
I WAS AMAZED NOT ONLY THAT HE
00:21:43.050 --> 00:21:45.030
WAS STILL ALIVE, BUT THAT HE
00:21:45.030 --> 00:21:46.240
COULD GET BACK UP AGAIN.
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:48.200
ABOUT THAT TIME, HE TOOK
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:50.040
OFF FLYING IN THE AIR AWAY
00:21:50.040 --> 00:21:51.280
FROM ME, AND JUST WHEN I THOUGHT
00:21:51.280 --> 00:21:53.210
I WAS DONE WITH HIM, HE TURNED
00:21:53.210 --> 00:21:55.150
AROUND AND HEADED RIGHT BACK
00:21:55.150 --> 00:21:57.100
TOWARD US.
00:21:57.100 --> 00:21:58.020
I THOUGHT YOU'VE GOTTA BE
00:21:58.020 --> 00:21:58.270
KIDDING.
00:21:58.270 --> 00:21:59.110
"I'LL BE BACK."
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:03.000
HE CAME AND BUZZED BY MY HEAD
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:04.170
LIKE FOUR OR FIVE TIMES.
00:22:04.170 --> 00:22:05.220
I HAD TO DODGE TO GET
00:22:05.220 --> 00:22:07.090
OUT OF THE WAY.
00:22:07.090 --> 00:22:08.100
ALEXANDRA SAID, "DADDY, GET
00:22:08.100 --> 00:22:09.240
THE TOWEL."
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:10.160
I SAID, "NO, ALEXANDRA, THIS BEE
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:13.160
DESERVES TO LIVE."
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:15.010
I'M, A THOUSAND TIMES BIGGER
00:22:15.010 --> 00:22:16.100
THAN HIM, AND I STILL CAN'T
00:22:16.100 --> 00:22:18.050
KILL HIM.
00:22:18.050 --> 00:22:19.160
DOWN, STEP ON YOUR DREAMS,
00:22:21.140 --> 00:22:23.100
SQUASH YOUR HEALTH, YOU'VE GOT
00:22:23.100 --> 00:22:24.210
TO DO LIKE THAT LITTLE BUMBLE
00:22:24.210 --> 00:22:26.100
OUTLAST WHAT'S TRYING
00:22:29.010 --> 00:22:30.260
TO DEFEAT YOU.
00:22:30.260 --> 00:22:32.110
THE POWER IN YOU IS GREATER THAN
00:22:32.110 --> 00:22:34.220
ANY POWER THAT'S TRYING TO STOP
00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:36.220
YOU.
00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:37.290
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, A GOOD
00:22:37.290 --> 00:22:39.120
PERSON FALLS SEVEN TIMES,
00:22:39.120 --> 00:22:40.180
BUT GETS BACK UP AGAIN.
00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:42.190
YOU HAVE COME BACK POWER.
00:22:42.190 --> 00:22:44.270
GOD WOULDN'T HAVE ALLOWED
00:22:44.270 --> 00:22:46.020
THE ADVERSITY IF IT WAS GOING
00:22:46.020 --> 00:22:47.260
TO FINISH YOU OFF.
00:22:47.260 --> 00:22:49.040
IT'S JUST ANOTHER STEP
00:22:49.040 --> 00:22:50.140
ON THE WAY TO YOUR DESTINY.
00:22:50.140 --> 00:22:52.150
WE SEE THIS WITH JOSEPH.
00:22:52.150 --> 00:22:53.290
THROWN INTO A PIT, SOLD
00:22:55.290 --> 00:22:57.160
INTO SLAVERY, PUT IN PRISON,
00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:59.220
FALSELY ACCUSED.
00:22:59.220 --> 00:23:00.210
IT WAS ONE BAD BREAK
00:23:00.210 --> 00:23:02.190
AFTER ANOTHER, 13 YEARS
00:23:02.190 --> 00:23:04.050
OF INJUSTICE, DISAPPOINTMENTS.
00:23:04.050 --> 00:23:06.080
SURELY, HE WOULD BE BITTER,
00:23:06.080 --> 00:23:08.030
DISCOURAGED.
00:23:08.030 --> 00:23:08.180
NO, JOSEPH UNDERSTOOD.
00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:10.080
HE JUST KEPT STANDING, KEPT
00:23:10.080 --> 00:23:11.280
DAY, WHILE HE WAS IN PRISON
00:23:14.030 --> 00:23:15.230
FOR SOMETHING THAT HE DIDN'T DO,
00:23:15.230 --> 00:23:17.160
THE GUARDS CAME AND SAID
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:19.000
THE PHARAOH WANTED TO SEE HIM,
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:20.230
THE LEADER OF THE COUNTRY.
00:23:20.230 --> 00:23:22.120
JOSEPH DIDN'T HAVE
00:23:22.120 --> 00:23:23.100
AN APPOINTMENT WITH HIM.
00:23:23.100 --> 00:23:24.180
HE HAD NEVER MET THE MAN,
00:23:24.180 --> 00:23:26.020
BUT WHEN IT'S YOUR TIME TO BE
00:23:26.020 --> 00:23:27.250
PROMOTED, ALL THE FORCES
00:23:27.250 --> 00:23:29.070
OF DARKNESS CANNOT
00:23:29.070 --> 00:23:30.170
HOLD YOU BACK.
00:23:30.170 --> 00:23:32.080
WHEN YOU PASS THE TEST
00:23:32.080 --> 00:23:34.050
OF OUTLASTING THE OPPOSITION,
00:23:34.050 --> 00:23:35.210
THE PROMOTION WILL COME LOOKING
00:23:35.210 --> 00:23:37.060
FOR YOU, THE HEALING WILL COME
00:23:37.060 --> 00:23:39.030
TO YOU, THE RIGHT PEOPLE WILL
00:23:39.030 --> 00:23:41.100
FIND YOU.
00:23:41.100 --> 00:23:42.030
JOSEPH WENT AND INTERPRETED
00:23:42.030 --> 00:23:43.090
THE DREAM FOR THE PHARAOH.
00:23:43.090 --> 00:23:44.250
HE WAS SO IMPRESSED, HE MADE
00:23:44.250 --> 00:23:46.250
JOSEPH THE PRIME MINISTER
00:23:46.250 --> 00:23:48.050
OF EGYPT.
00:23:48.050 --> 00:23:49.170
WHEN WE STUDY JOSEPH'S LIFE, WE
00:23:49.170 --> 00:23:51.270
REALIZE, GOD WASN'T ASKING HIM
00:23:51.270 --> 00:23:53.260
TO DEFEAT HIS BROTHERS,
00:23:53.260 --> 00:23:55.120
OUT OF THE PIT, TO ESCAPE
00:23:57.090 --> 00:23:59.130
CAPTIVITY, GOD WAS SIMPLY ASKING
00:23:59.130 --> 00:24:01.120
HIM TO OUTLAST THE OPPOSITION,
00:24:01.120 --> 00:24:03.160
THAT ALL HAD TO HAPPEN FOR HIM
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:06.150
TO BECOME THE PRIME MINISTER.
00:24:06.150 --> 00:24:08.250
SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT
00:24:08.250 --> 00:24:10.070
YOU'RE FACING, THE THINGS THAT
00:24:10.070 --> 00:24:11.200
ARE BOTHERING YOU, THAT ARE NOT
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.130
CHANGING, GOD IS NOT ASKING YOU
00:24:13.130 --> 00:24:15.060
TO OVERCOME THEM.
00:24:15.060 --> 00:24:16.190
HE'S JUST ASKING YOU
00:24:16.190 --> 00:24:18.210
TO OUTLAST THEM.
00:24:18.210 --> 00:24:19.170
IT'S ALL A PART OF HIS PLAN,
00:24:19.170 --> 00:24:21.150
IT'S NECESSARY TO GET YOU
00:24:21.150 --> 00:24:22.270
TO YOUR DESTINY.
00:24:22.270 --> 00:24:24.070
AND YES, THE PHARAOHS CAN BE
00:24:24.070 --> 00:24:26.160
STUBBORN.
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:27.030
THINGS MAY NOT BE IMPROVING YET,
00:24:27.030 --> 00:24:29.070
BUT STAY ENCOURAGED, GOD IS
00:24:29.070 --> 00:24:31.020
STILL IN CONTROL.
00:24:31.020 --> 00:24:32.140
HE HAS YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS
00:24:32.140 --> 00:24:34.080
HAND, WHAT HE PROMISED YOU IS
00:24:34.080 --> 00:24:35.200
ON THE WAY.
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:36.280
NOW, DO YOUR PART AND KEEP
00:24:36.280 --> 00:24:38.280
STANDING.
00:24:38.280 --> 00:24:39.150
DON'T BE MOVED BY WHAT'S
00:24:39.150 --> 00:24:41.030
NOT CHANGING.
00:24:41.030 --> 00:24:41.180
HAVE THIS STUBBORN FAITH.
00:24:41.180 --> 00:24:43.210
IF YOU'LL DO THIS, I BELIEVE
00:24:43.210 --> 00:24:45.250
THINGS ARE GOING TO SUDDENLY
00:24:47.230 --> 00:24:49.070
CHANGE IN YOUR FAVOR.
00:24:49.070 --> 00:24:50.150
YOU DIDN'T SEE IT COMING,
00:24:50.150 --> 00:24:52.160
BREAKTHROUGHS, HEALING,
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:53.100
VINDICATION, PROMOTION,
00:24:53.100 --> 00:24:54.120
THE FULLNESS OF YOUR DESTINY,
00:24:54.120 --> 00:24:57.030
IN JESUS'S NAME.
00:24:57.030 --> 00:24:58.190
AND IF YOU RECEIVE IT, CAN YOU
00:24:58.190 --> 00:25:01.170
SAY AMEN TODAY?
00:25:01.170 --> 00:25:02.240
WELL, I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:04.170
AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE JESUS
00:25:04.170 --> 00:25:06.000
THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE.
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:07.200
