- I wanna go to Numbers 21.

00:00:22.997 --> 00:00:24.532
"Then they journeyedfrom Mount Hor by the Way
00:00:24.532 --> 00:00:25.900
from Mount Hor by the Wayof the Red Sea,
00:00:25.900 --> 00:00:26.868
of the Red Sea,to go around the land
00:00:26.868 --> 00:00:28.870
to go around the landof Edom."

of Edom."Listen.
00:00:29.471 --> 00:00:30.405
Listen."And the soul

"And the soulof the people
00:00:31.539 --> 00:00:34.943
of the peoplebecame very discouraged,"
00:00:34.943 --> 00:00:36.144
became very discouraged,"because of the way:
00:00:36.144 --> 00:00:37.846
because of the way:"Along the way."
00:00:37.846 --> 00:00:38.713
"Along the way."One translation says,
00:00:38.713 --> 00:00:39.781
One translation says,"Because of the way
00:00:39.781 --> 00:00:41.449
"Because of the wayGod led them."
00:00:41.449 --> 00:00:42.150
God led them.""And the people
00:00:42.150 --> 00:00:43.485
"And the peoplespoke against God
00:00:43.485 --> 00:00:44.819
spoke against Godand against Moses:
00:00:44.819 --> 00:00:45.653
and against Moses:'Why have you brought us
00:00:45.653 --> 00:00:46.955
'Why have you brought usout of Egypt to die
00:00:46.955 --> 00:00:47.655
out of Egypt to diein the wilderness?
00:00:47.655 --> 00:00:48.623
in the wilderness?For there is no food,
00:00:48.623 --> 00:00:50.525
For there is no food,no water, our soul loathes
00:00:50.525 --> 00:00:53.027
no water, our soul loathesthis worthless bread.'"
00:00:53.027 --> 00:00:53.628
this worthless bread.'""So the Lord sent
00:00:53.628 --> 00:00:56.698
"So the Lord sentfiery serpents among them,
00:00:56.698 --> 00:00:58.433
fiery serpents among them,and they bit the people.
00:00:58.433 --> 00:00:59.234
and they bit the people.And many of the people
00:00:59.234 --> 00:01:00.902
And many of the peopleof Israel died.
00:01:00.902 --> 00:01:02.137
of Israel died.Therefore the people
00:01:02.137 --> 00:01:03.905
Therefore the peoplecame to Moses, and said,
00:01:03.905 --> 00:01:05.573
came to Moses, and said,'We have sinned,'" --
00:01:05.573 --> 00:01:07.142
'We have sinned,'" --they got a revelation.
00:01:07.142 --> 00:01:08.843
they got a revelation."'We have sinned,
00:01:08.843 --> 00:01:09.777
"'We have sinned,for we have spoken
00:01:09.777 --> 00:01:11.012
for we have spokenagainst the Lord
00:01:11.012 --> 00:01:12.814
against the Lordand against you.
00:01:12.814 --> 00:01:13.848
and against you.Pray to the Lord
00:01:13.848 --> 00:01:14.415
Pray to the Lordthat He take away
00:01:14.415 --> 00:01:16.184
that He take awaythe serpents from us.'
00:01:16.184 --> 00:01:16.985
the serpents from us.'So Moses prayed
00:01:16.985 --> 00:01:18.686
So Moses prayedfor the people."
00:01:18.686 --> 00:01:19.154
for the people.""Then the Lord
00:01:19.154 --> 00:01:19.988
"Then the Lordsaid to Moses,
00:01:19.988 --> 00:01:21.623
said to Moses,'Make a fiery serpent,
00:01:21.623 --> 00:01:22.390
'Make a fiery serpent,and set it on a pole.
00:01:22.390 --> 00:01:27.061
and set it on a pole.And it shall be that everyone
00:01:27.061 --> 00:01:28.663
And it shall be that everyonewho is bitten,
00:01:28.663 --> 00:01:30.398
who is bitten,when he looks at it,
00:01:30.398 --> 00:01:32.033
when he looks at it,shall live.'
00:01:32.033 --> 00:01:32.500
shall live.'So Moses made
00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:34.135
So Moses madea bronze serpent,
00:01:34.135 --> 00:01:35.336
a bronze serpent,put it on a pole."
00:01:35.336 --> 00:01:36.471
put it on a pole."Raised it up.
00:01:36.471 --> 00:01:38.439
Raised it up."And so it was,
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:39.107
"And so it was,if a serpent
00:01:39.107 --> 00:01:40.074
if a serpenthad bitten anyone,
00:01:40.074 --> 00:01:42.810
had bitten anyone,when he looked
00:01:42.810 --> 00:01:44.479
when he lookedat the bronze serpent,
00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:46.481
at the bronze serpent,he lived."
00:01:46.481 --> 00:01:47.315
he lived."I wanna talk to you
00:01:47.315 --> 00:01:47.916
I wanna talk to youfor a few moments,
00:01:47.916 --> 00:01:48.816
for a few moments,I'll give you my title
00:01:48.816 --> 00:01:50.051
I'll give you my titlein just a minute,
00:01:50.051 --> 00:01:51.219
in just a minute,but I'm focusing
00:01:51.219 --> 00:01:53.254
but I'm focusingon the theme of the danger,
00:01:53.254 --> 00:01:54.389
on the theme of the danger,the great, great, great,
00:01:54.389 --> 00:01:58.526
the great, great, great,great danger, of discouragement.
00:01:58.526 --> 00:01:59.260
great danger, of discouragement.And I'm gonna give you
00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:00.395
And I'm gonna give youthe remedy, I'm gonna give you
00:02:00.395 --> 00:02:02.897
the remedy, I'm gonna give youthe answer to it.
00:02:02.897 --> 00:02:05.333
the answer to it.In the Christmas classic,
00:02:05.333 --> 00:02:07.335
In the Christmas classic,"It's a Wonderful Life",
00:02:07.335 --> 00:02:08.136
"It's a Wonderful Life",and if you've not seen
00:02:08.136 --> 00:02:09.771
and if you've not seen"It's a Wonderful Life",
00:02:09.771 --> 00:02:11.206
"It's a Wonderful Life",you will probably not go up
00:02:11.206 --> 00:02:12.040
you will probably not go upin the Rapture.
00:02:12.040 --> 00:02:12.574
in the Rapture.Amen.
00:02:12.574 --> 00:02:13.341
Amen.[laughter]
00:02:13.341 --> 00:02:13.841
[laughter]How many of you
00:02:13.841 --> 00:02:15.109
How many of youhave ever seen that movie,
00:02:15.109 --> 00:02:18.012
have ever seen that movie,"It's a Wonderful Life"?
00:02:18.012 --> 00:02:19.614
"It's a Wonderful Life"?Well, in that movie,
00:02:19.614 --> 00:02:20.882
Well, in that movie,the main character is a guy
00:02:20.882 --> 00:02:23.084
the main character is a guyby the name of George Bailey.
00:02:23.084 --> 00:02:24.619
by the name of George Bailey.And George Bailey's a good guy,
00:02:24.619 --> 00:02:27.021
And George Bailey's a good guy,but he gets extremely
00:02:27.021 --> 00:02:27.622
but he gets extremelyin hard times and discouraged
00:02:27.622 --> 00:02:30.658
in hard times and discouragedand even contemplates suicide.
00:02:30.658 --> 00:02:31.159
and even contemplates suicide.But thank God
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:32.794
But thank Godfor the power of friendship.
00:02:32.794 --> 00:02:33.294
for the power of friendship.He had some friends
00:02:33.294 --> 00:02:34.262
He had some friendswho got together
00:02:34.262 --> 00:02:35.663
who got togetherand prayed for him.
00:02:35.663 --> 00:02:36.764
and prayed for him.And when they prayed,
00:02:36.764 --> 00:02:41.002
And when they prayed,in the movie, it touches heaven,
00:02:41.002 --> 00:02:43.171
in the movie, it touches heaven,and there is an angel
00:02:43.171 --> 00:02:43.838
and there is an angelwho is in charge
00:02:43.838 --> 00:02:45.440
who is in chargeof all the angels in heaven,
00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:46.441
of all the angels in heaven,and he turns to one
00:02:46.441 --> 00:02:48.409
and he turns to oneof the lesser angels,
00:02:48.409 --> 00:02:51.145
of the lesser angels,and he says, "It's time
00:02:51.145 --> 00:02:53.314
and he says, "It's timefor you to earn your wings,
00:02:53.314 --> 00:02:55.183
for you to earn your wings,and your assignment,
00:02:55.183 --> 00:02:57.018
and your assignment,if you wanna earn your wings,
00:02:57.018 --> 00:02:57.719
if you wanna earn your wings,you'll get your wings
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.387
you'll get your wingsif you succeed in this.
00:02:59.387 --> 00:03:00.755
if you succeed in this.Your assignment is to go down
00:03:00.755 --> 00:03:03.424
Your assignment is to go downand help George Bailey."
00:03:03.424 --> 00:03:05.260
and help George Bailey."And the inferior angel
00:03:05.260 --> 00:03:06.995
And the inferior angelsaid to the superior angel,
00:03:06.995 --> 00:03:08.930
said to the superior angel,"Well, before I go, tell me,
00:03:08.930 --> 00:03:09.530
"Well, before I go, tell me,what's wrong
00:03:09.530 --> 00:03:10.665
what's wrongwith George Bailey?
00:03:10.665 --> 00:03:11.532
with George Bailey?Is he sick?
00:03:11.532 --> 00:03:12.533
Is he sick?Does he got some
00:03:12.533 --> 00:03:13.835
Does he got somehorrible disease?"
00:03:13.835 --> 00:03:16.671
horrible disease?"And the superior angel's answer
00:03:16.671 --> 00:03:18.339
And the superior angel's answeris a classic.
00:03:18.339 --> 00:03:21.476
is a classic.He said, "Worse than that,
00:03:21.476 --> 00:03:24.545
He said, "Worse than that,he is discouraged."
00:03:24.545 --> 00:03:25.480
he is discouraged."Worse than some
00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:28.049
Worse than somehorrible disease,
00:03:28.049 --> 00:03:29.450
horrible disease,he is discouraged.
00:03:29.450 --> 00:03:30.618
he is discouraged.The devil knows
00:03:30.618 --> 00:03:32.086
The devil knowsthat the greatest thing
00:03:32.086 --> 00:03:33.288
that the greatest thinghe can use against
00:03:33.288 --> 00:03:35.189
he can use againstthe believer
00:03:35.189 --> 00:03:36.924
the believeris discouragement.
00:03:36.924 --> 00:03:37.759
is discouragement.Because you're never
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:38.793
Because you're neverreally defeated
00:03:38.793 --> 00:03:39.727
really defeateduntil you're defeated
00:03:39.727 --> 00:03:41.863
until you're defeatedon the inside.
00:03:41.863 --> 00:03:42.530
on the inside.I believe that we need
00:03:42.530 --> 00:03:44.499
I believe that we needto understand that the people
00:03:44.499 --> 00:03:46.901
to understand that the peopleof God were discouraged.
00:03:46.901 --> 00:03:48.169
of God were discouraged.And I just wanna say
00:03:48.169 --> 00:03:49.971
And I just wanna saythat probably nobody
00:03:49.971 --> 00:03:51.806
that probably nobodywalked in here today --
00:03:51.806 --> 00:03:52.707
walked in here today --when we get discouraged,
00:03:52.707 --> 00:03:54.542
when we get discouraged,we almost feel ashamed,
00:03:54.542 --> 00:03:55.810
we almost feel ashamed,we almost feel embarrassed,
00:03:55.810 --> 00:03:57.111
we almost feel embarrassed,we almost feel guilty.
00:03:57.111 --> 00:03:58.279
we almost feel guilty.We don't anybody to know
00:03:58.279 --> 00:03:59.414
We don't anybody to knowthat we're discouraged.
00:03:59.414 --> 00:04:00.515
that we're discouraged.I doubt when you turned
00:04:00.515 --> 00:04:01.749
I doubt when you turnedto your neighbor, and said,
00:04:01.749 --> 00:04:03.751
to your neighbor, and said,"Hello," or whatever,
00:04:03.751 --> 00:04:04.385
"Hello," or whatever,they spoke up and said,
00:04:04.385 --> 00:04:05.787
they spoke up and said,"I'm really discouraged today.
00:04:05.787 --> 00:04:06.621
"I'm really discouraged today.I feel like quitting.
00:04:06.621 --> 00:04:08.289
I feel like quitting.I'm thinking about just --
00:04:08.289 --> 00:04:09.891
I'm thinking about just --I'll tell you, I've had it.
00:04:09.891 --> 00:04:10.558
I'll tell you, I've had it.It's been," --
00:04:10.558 --> 00:04:12.560
It's been," --nobody does that,
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:13.628
nobody does that,and yet, it's almost like
00:04:13.628 --> 00:04:15.463
and yet, it's almost likewe ignore the dangers
00:04:15.463 --> 00:04:20.001
we ignore the dangersof prolonged discouragement.
00:04:20.001 --> 00:04:21.102
of prolonged discouragement.When you understand that,
00:04:21.102 --> 00:04:21.869
When you understand that,what really
00:04:21.869 --> 00:04:23.371
what reallycauses discouragement
00:04:23.371 --> 00:04:24.706
causes discouragementis given in this text,
00:04:24.706 --> 00:04:25.340
is given in this text,the Bible said
00:04:25.340 --> 00:04:26.240
the Bible saidthey were discouraged
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:27.809
they were discouragedbecause of the way.
00:04:27.809 --> 00:04:28.843
because of the way.They were discouraged
00:04:28.843 --> 00:04:31.713
They were discouragedbecause of the way of God.
00:04:31.713 --> 00:04:32.313
because of the way of God.They were discouraged
00:04:32.313 --> 00:04:34.782
They were discouragedbecause of the why of God.
00:04:34.782 --> 00:04:35.483
because of the why of God.They were saying,
00:04:35.483 --> 00:04:36.451
They were saying,"Why are we in this desert?
00:04:36.451 --> 00:04:38.219
"Why are we in this desert?Why are we going through this?
00:04:38.219 --> 00:04:38.886
Why are we going through this?Why are we
00:04:38.886 --> 00:04:39.754
Why are wein this wilderness?
00:04:39.754 --> 00:04:40.321
in this wilderness?Why?"
00:04:40.321 --> 00:04:42.023
Why?"The way of God,
00:04:42.023 --> 00:04:43.891
The way of God,the why of God,
00:04:43.891 --> 00:04:45.660
the why of God,and then the wait,
00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:47.528
and then the wait,the waiting on God.
00:04:47.528 --> 00:04:49.564
the waiting on God.It's been too long.
00:04:49.564 --> 00:04:50.264
It's been too long.Something should've
00:04:50.264 --> 00:04:51.366
Something should'vehappened by now.
00:04:51.366 --> 00:04:51.866
happened by now.And usually,
00:04:51.866 --> 00:04:53.234
And usually,when people get discouraged,
00:04:53.234 --> 00:04:54.335
when people get discouraged,it's because of the way
00:04:54.335 --> 00:04:56.371
it's because of the waythat God is leading them.
00:04:56.371 --> 00:04:56.838
that God is leading them.You thought
00:04:56.838 --> 00:04:58.206
You thoughtit would be an easy way,
00:04:58.206 --> 00:04:59.340
it would be an easy way,and it's a hard,
00:04:59.340 --> 00:05:00.208
and it's a hard,wilderness way,
00:05:00.208 --> 00:05:01.242
wilderness way,and on top of that,
00:05:01.242 --> 00:05:02.777
and on top of that,the why of God.
00:05:02.777 --> 00:05:03.778
the why of God.When you don't have answers
00:05:03.778 --> 00:05:05.179
When you don't have answersfor your questions,
00:05:05.179 --> 00:05:07.515
for your questions,no explanations as to why
00:05:07.515 --> 00:05:08.449
no explanations as to whyit seems everything's
00:05:08.449 --> 00:05:09.283
it seems everything'sgoing wrong,
00:05:09.283 --> 00:05:10.385
going wrong,and then on top of that,
00:05:10.385 --> 00:05:11.018
and then on top of that,you're waiting
00:05:11.018 --> 00:05:12.854
you're waitingand waiting and waiting.
00:05:12.854 --> 00:05:16.424
and waiting and waiting.This breeds discouragement.
00:05:16.424 --> 00:05:17.692
This breeds discouragement.Discouragement is born
00:05:17.692 --> 00:05:18.960
Discouragement is bornwhen we compare ourselves
00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:21.195
when we compare ourselveswith somebody else.
00:05:21.195 --> 00:05:22.663
with somebody else.When we begin to compare
00:05:22.663 --> 00:05:24.232
When we begin to compareourselves with somebody else,
00:05:24.232 --> 00:05:24.832
ourselves with somebody else,but let me tell you
00:05:24.832 --> 00:05:26.300
but let me tell youwhat ought to cause great joy
00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:27.835
what ought to cause great joyto come to your life.
00:05:27.835 --> 00:05:29.003
to come to your life.Is if you'd stop comparing
00:05:29.003 --> 00:05:31.372
Is if you'd stop comparingyourself to other people,
00:05:31.372 --> 00:05:33.007
yourself to other people,and you would just remember
00:05:33.007 --> 00:05:34.809
and you would just rememberwhere you came from.
00:05:34.809 --> 00:05:35.343
where you came from.And remember
00:05:35.343 --> 00:05:36.911
And rememberwhere you started.
00:05:36.911 --> 00:05:39.781
where you started.And remember how much God
00:05:39.781 --> 00:05:41.949
And remember how much Godhas blessed you.
00:05:41.949 --> 00:05:43.217
has blessed you.You're doing more.
00:05:43.217 --> 00:05:44.619
You're doing more.You're seeing more.
00:05:44.619 --> 00:05:46.387
You're seeing more.You're achieving more.
00:05:46.387 --> 00:05:47.054
You're achieving more.But if you start
00:05:47.054 --> 00:05:48.189
But if you startcomparing yourself
00:05:48.189 --> 00:05:49.323
comparing yourselfwith someone else,
00:05:49.323 --> 00:05:50.558
with someone else,you can get discouraged,
00:05:50.558 --> 00:05:52.026
you can get discouraged,because they're doing more,
00:05:52.026 --> 00:05:53.528
because they're doing more,maybe, than you're doing.
00:05:53.528 --> 00:05:54.896
maybe, than you're doing.But the greatest way
00:05:54.896 --> 00:05:55.763
But the greatest wayto get on your feet
00:05:55.763 --> 00:05:56.697
to get on your feetand praise the Lord
00:05:56.697 --> 00:05:57.331
and praise the Lordis just think about
00:05:57.331 --> 00:05:58.699
is just think aboutwhere I came from.
00:05:58.699 --> 00:05:59.467
where I came from.Just think about
00:05:59.467 --> 00:06:02.303
Just think aboutwhat God started me out as,
00:06:02.303 --> 00:06:04.472
what God started me out as,and where I am today,
00:06:04.472 --> 00:06:07.041
and where I am today,and it's encouraging
00:06:07.041 --> 00:06:08.609
and it's encouragingto not compare yourself
00:06:08.609 --> 00:06:09.877
to not compare yourselfwith others, but to remember
00:06:09.877 --> 00:06:11.312
with others, but to rememberhow far you've come,
00:06:11.312 --> 00:06:12.580
how far you've come,and where you started.
00:06:12.580 --> 00:06:13.481
and where you started.So everybody give Him
00:06:13.481 --> 00:06:14.916
So everybody give Himthe praise for that.
00:06:14.916 --> 00:06:15.416
the praise for that.Think about that
00:06:15.416 --> 00:06:16.484
Think about thatfor just a moment.
00:06:16.484 --> 00:06:17.985
for just a moment.Let a little firecracker
00:06:17.985 --> 00:06:20.755
Let a little firecrackergo off in your soul right there.
00:06:20.755 --> 00:06:21.556
go off in your soul right there.I mean, look at you.
00:06:21.556 --> 00:06:23.191
I mean, look at you.Look at the life you've got.
00:06:23.191 --> 00:06:24.826
Look at the life you've got.Look at the house you've got.
00:06:24.826 --> 00:06:26.027
Look at the house you've got.Look at the car you've got.
00:06:26.027 --> 00:06:27.361
Look at the car you've got.Look at how good God's
00:06:27.361 --> 00:06:28.796
Look at how good God'sblessed you,
00:06:28.796 --> 00:06:30.231
blessed you,and you're discouraged,
00:06:30.231 --> 00:06:31.432
and you're discouraged,'cause you're comparing yourself
00:06:31.432 --> 00:06:35.136
'cause you're comparing yourselfto somebody else.
00:06:35.136 --> 00:06:35.636
to somebody else.Another area
00:06:35.636 --> 00:06:37.505
Another areathat causes discouragement,
00:06:37.505 --> 00:06:38.739
that causes discouragement,and this is so important,
00:06:38.739 --> 00:06:41.075
and this is so important,is trying to force fruit
00:06:41.075 --> 00:06:44.712
is trying to force fruitout of season.
00:06:44.712 --> 00:06:45.279
out of season.The Bible said
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.081
The Bible saidas long as the earth exists,
00:06:47.081 --> 00:06:48.449
as long as the earth exists,there's seed,
00:06:48.449 --> 00:06:50.551
there's seed,time, and harvest.
00:06:50.551 --> 00:06:51.352
time, and harvest.There's seed,
00:06:51.352 --> 00:06:52.520
There's seed,there's the promise,
00:06:52.520 --> 00:06:54.055
there's the promise,and then there's the promise,
00:06:54.055 --> 00:06:55.523
and then there's the promise,but there's time
00:06:55.523 --> 00:06:58.326
but there's timebetween seed time, notice,
00:06:58.326 --> 00:07:01.929
between seed time, notice,seed, time, promise.
00:07:01.929 --> 00:07:03.998
seed, time, promise.You can't ignore the time.
00:07:03.998 --> 00:07:06.067
You can't ignore the time.When a woman is pregnant,
00:07:06.067 --> 00:07:06.734
When a woman is pregnant,the doctor gives her
00:07:06.734 --> 00:07:08.069
the doctor gives hera due date.
00:07:08.069 --> 00:07:08.536
a due date.And that's why
00:07:08.536 --> 00:07:09.670
And that's whythe scripture said,
00:07:09.670 --> 00:07:12.106
the scripture said,"Do not be weary in well-doing,
00:07:12.106 --> 00:07:13.774
"Do not be weary in well-doing,for there is a season
00:07:13.774 --> 00:07:16.110
for there is a seasoncalled due season."
00:07:16.110 --> 00:07:17.512
called due season."And in due season,
00:07:17.512 --> 00:07:18.613
And in due season,you will reap
00:07:18.613 --> 00:07:20.314
you will reapif you don't faint.
00:07:20.314 --> 00:07:21.549
if you don't faint.So hear the Word
00:07:21.549 --> 00:07:22.717
So hear the Wordof the Lord today.
00:07:22.717 --> 00:07:23.918
of the Lord today.Many people are trying
00:07:23.918 --> 00:07:26.921
Many people are tryingto get fruit in the season
00:07:26.921 --> 00:07:28.289
to get fruit in the seasonbefore it's due.
00:07:28.289 --> 00:07:29.590
before it's due.And the point is,
00:07:29.590 --> 00:07:32.159
And the point is,you cannot force something
00:07:32.159 --> 00:07:33.794
you cannot force somethingto happen out of season,
00:07:33.794 --> 00:07:35.396
to happen out of season,and you have to learn to wait.
00:07:35.396 --> 00:07:36.097
and you have to learn to wait.But many people
00:07:36.097 --> 00:07:37.532
But many peopleget discouraged.
00:07:37.532 --> 00:07:38.499
get discouraged.Another symptom
00:07:38.499 --> 00:07:39.433
Another symptomof discouragement
00:07:39.433 --> 00:07:42.937

and you had somekind of setback,
00:07:54.682 --> 00:07:55.283
kind of setback,and you feel --
00:07:55.283 --> 00:07:57.151

maybe, you broke upwith somebody,
00:07:57.818 --> 00:07:58.819
with somebody,and you saw yourself
00:07:58.819 --> 00:07:59.587

and now, everything's blurryand unclear.
00:08:03.658 --> 00:08:05.893
and unclear.That's discouragement.
00:08:05.893 --> 00:08:07.161
That's discouragement.You need to recognize it.
00:08:07.161 --> 00:08:08.296
You need to recognize it.It's a dangerous thing
00:08:08.296 --> 00:08:09.497

00:13:33.053 --> 00:13:35.756
We see the devastationof discouragement in John 1,
00:13:35.756 --> 00:13:36.357
of discouragement in John 1,when it talks
00:13:36.357 --> 00:13:38.392
when it talksabout John the Baptist,
00:13:38.392 --> 00:13:39.493
about John the Baptist,and when he was first
00:13:39.493 --> 00:13:41.228
and when he was firstintroduced to Jesus, he said,
00:13:41.228 --> 00:13:42.296
introduced to Jesus, he said,"I saw the Spirit
00:13:42.296 --> 00:13:43.564
"I saw the Spiritdescend like a dove,
00:13:43.564 --> 00:13:46.500
descend like a dove,and it abode upon Him,
00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:47.935
and it abode upon Him,and I knew Him."
00:13:47.935 --> 00:13:48.836
and I knew Him."I knew him.
00:13:48.836 --> 00:13:49.670
I knew him.And then, John announced,
00:13:49.670 --> 00:13:51.238
And then, John announced,"Behold, the Lamb of God.
00:13:51.238 --> 00:13:52.039
"Behold, the Lamb of God.He's it.
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:52.506
He's it.I've got
00:13:52.506 --> 00:13:53.374
I've gota personal revelation.
00:13:53.374 --> 00:13:54.475
a personal revelation.I know who He is.
00:13:54.475 --> 00:13:55.709
I know who He is.He's the Lamb of God."
00:13:55.709 --> 00:13:56.710
He's the Lamb of God."And there's rejoicing,
00:13:56.710 --> 00:13:58.078
And there's rejoicing,but a few months later,
00:13:58.078 --> 00:14:00.080
but a few months later,he's arrested, John is,
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.049
he's arrested, John is,and he's in a filthy prison,
00:14:02.049 --> 00:14:04.318
and he's in a filthy prison,Herod's cell, prison,
00:14:04.318 --> 00:14:08.489
Herod's cell, prison,and he sends his disciples
00:14:08.489 --> 00:14:10.190
and he sends his disciplesto where Jesus is,
00:14:10.190 --> 00:14:11.558
to where Jesus is,because he feels abandoned.
00:14:11.558 --> 00:14:13.527
because he feels abandoned.He's discouraged.
00:14:13.527 --> 00:14:14.662
He's discouraged.And he says, "Ask Him,
00:14:14.662 --> 00:14:15.462
And he says, "Ask Him,'Are You the One?'"
00:14:15.462 --> 00:14:16.163
'Are You the One?'"What do you mean,
00:14:16.163 --> 00:14:17.398
What do you mean,am I the one?
00:14:17.398 --> 00:14:18.098

that I may be walking through,but I declare boldly,
00:15:40.981 --> 00:15:42.583
but I declare boldly,there is no God
00:15:42.583 --> 00:15:44.084
there is no Godlike Jehovah.
00:15:44.084 --> 00:15:46.453
like Jehovah.He's still God.
00:15:46.453 --> 00:15:47.988
He's still God.[applause]
00:15:47.988 --> 00:15:48.622
[applause]I want you to see
00:15:48.622 --> 00:15:50.858
I want you to seethe doorway to discouragement.
00:15:50.858 --> 00:15:53.594
the doorway to discouragement.In Psalms 73,
00:15:53.594 --> 00:15:55.195
In Psalms 73,David found himself
00:15:55.195 --> 00:15:56.630
David found himselfso discouraged,
00:15:56.630 --> 00:15:58.098
so discouraged,he wanted to quit.
00:15:58.098 --> 00:15:59.033
he wanted to quit.He said, "Truly,
00:15:59.033 --> 00:16:00.367
He said, "Truly,God is good to Israel,
00:16:00.367 --> 00:16:01.435
God is good to Israel,even to as many
00:16:01.435 --> 00:16:03.270
even to as manyas who have a clean heart,"
00:16:03.270 --> 00:16:04.405
as who have a clean heart,"but catch these next words:
00:16:04.405 --> 00:16:05.939
but catch these next words:"But as for me,
00:16:05.939 --> 00:16:08.308
"But as for me,my feet almost slipped,
00:16:08.308 --> 00:16:09.743
my feet almost slipped,and I became envious," --
00:16:09.743 --> 00:16:11.245
and I became envious," --he says in Psalm 73:13,
00:16:11.245 --> 00:16:13.147
he says in Psalm 73:13,"Envious of the wicked."
00:16:13.147 --> 00:16:14.281
"Envious of the wicked."He's saying something.
00:16:14.281 --> 00:16:15.416
He's saying something.He's saying, "Oh, I know God
00:16:15.416 --> 00:16:16.316
He's saying, "Oh, I know Godwill bless Israel,
00:16:16.316 --> 00:16:18.185
will bless Israel,but I'm the exception,
00:16:18.185 --> 00:16:19.119
but I'm the exception,and I'm the rule."
00:16:19.119 --> 00:16:19.553
and I'm the rule."That's the --
00:16:19.553 --> 00:16:21.622
That's the --I'm the exception to the rule.
00:16:21.622 --> 00:16:22.456
I'm the exception to the rule.I'm someone
00:16:22.456 --> 00:16:24.091
I'm someonethat He can bless Israel
00:16:24.091 --> 00:16:25.159
that He can bless Israeland He can bless Pastor
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:26.226
and He can bless Pastorand He can bless this one
00:16:26.226 --> 00:16:27.828
and He can bless this oneand that one, but not me.
00:16:27.828 --> 00:16:29.730
and that one, but not me.That's discouragement talking.
00:16:29.730 --> 00:16:30.497
That's discouragement talking.He won't favor me
00:16:30.497 --> 00:16:30.998
He won't favor meand help me.
00:16:30.998 --> 00:16:33.500
and help me.He won't bless me.
00:16:33.500 --> 00:16:34.802
He won't bless me.And he was envious
00:16:34.802 --> 00:16:36.403
And he was enviousof wicked people.
00:16:36.403 --> 00:16:37.104
of wicked people.In other words,
00:16:37.104 --> 00:16:37.838
In other words,he was saying,
00:16:37.838 --> 00:16:38.605
he was saying,"I'm living clean,
00:16:38.605 --> 00:16:39.773
"I'm living clean,I'm living right,
00:16:39.773 --> 00:16:41.375
I'm living right,and this is not working
00:16:41.375 --> 00:16:42.609
and this is not workingfor me."
00:16:42.609 --> 00:16:44.111
for me."This faith in God
00:16:44.111 --> 00:16:45.145
This faith in Godis not working.
00:16:45.145 --> 00:16:45.946
is not working.They're doing better
00:16:45.946 --> 00:16:47.147
They're doing betterand they worship idols.
00:16:47.147 --> 00:16:49.416
and they worship idols.This is not working for me.
00:16:49.416 --> 00:16:50.584
This is not working for me.This is a discouraged man.
00:16:50.584 --> 00:16:51.251
This is a discouraged man.The question is,
00:16:51.251 --> 00:16:52.319
The question is,how did he get there?
00:16:52.319 --> 00:16:54.688
how did he get there?You have to back up one verse
00:16:54.688 --> 00:16:56.757
You have to back up one verseinto the previous chapter.
00:16:56.757 --> 00:17:00.494
into the previous chapter.Psalm 72:20, the last verse,
00:17:00.494 --> 00:17:00.994
Psalm 72:20, the last verse,right before you go
00:17:00.994 --> 00:17:02.129
right before you gointo all that discouragement,
00:17:02.129 --> 00:17:02.896
into all that discouragement,catch this.
00:17:02.896 --> 00:17:04.498
catch this."The prayers of David
00:17:04.498 --> 00:17:09.470
"The prayers of Davidthe son of Jesse are ended."
00:17:09.470 --> 00:17:11.538
the son of Jesse are ended."Please hear me.
00:17:11.538 --> 00:17:13.140
Please hear me.The door to discouragement
00:17:13.140 --> 00:17:14.641
The door to discouragementis prayerlessness.
00:17:14.641 --> 00:17:15.175
is prayerlessness.When he said,
00:17:15.175 --> 00:17:16.910
When he said,"I'm done praying.
00:17:16.910 --> 00:17:18.979
"I'm done praying.I prayed all I'm gonna pray."
00:17:18.979 --> 00:17:19.813
I prayed all I'm gonna pray."But guess what?
00:17:19.813 --> 00:17:20.581
But guess what?That opened the door,
00:17:20.581 --> 00:17:21.048
That opened the door,and he steps
00:17:21.048 --> 00:17:22.549
and he stepsinto that next chapter,
00:17:22.549 --> 00:17:23.984
into that next chapter,and is full of sliding
00:17:23.984 --> 00:17:25.452
and is full of slidingand sliding back,
00:17:25.452 --> 00:17:26.653
and sliding back,and discouragement,
00:17:26.653 --> 00:17:29.123
and discouragement,and I'm the exception,
00:17:29.123 --> 00:17:30.591
and I'm the exception,and God's not with me,
00:17:30.591 --> 00:17:31.792
and God's not with me,and I'm going under,
00:17:31.792 --> 00:17:33.727
and I'm going under,and I'm not gonna make it.
00:17:33.727 --> 00:17:34.695
and I'm not gonna make it.What I'm saying to you
00:17:34.695 --> 00:17:36.296
What I'm saying to youis that's how
00:17:36.296 --> 00:17:37.498
is that's howyou get discouraged,
00:17:37.498 --> 00:17:38.665
you get discouraged,when you stop praying,
00:17:38.665 --> 00:17:40.767
when you stop praying,when you stop asking,
00:17:40.767 --> 00:17:42.136
when you stop asking,when you stop praising,
00:17:42.136 --> 00:17:43.804
when you stop praising,when you stop coming
00:17:43.804 --> 00:17:44.505
when you stop comingto church.
00:17:44.505 --> 00:17:45.839
to church.Isolating yourself.
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.408
Isolating yourself.You go deeper and deeper
00:17:48.408 --> 00:17:49.376
You go deeper and deeperinto discouragement.
00:17:49.376 --> 00:17:50.310
into discouragement.I'm so glad you came
00:17:50.310 --> 00:17:52.012
I'm so glad you cameto church today.
00:17:52.012 --> 00:17:55.349
to church today.Because I don't believe
00:17:55.349 --> 00:17:56.984
Because I don't believethat we have to leave
00:17:56.984 --> 00:17:59.853
that we have to leavelike we came, in Jesus' name.
00:17:59.853 --> 00:18:01.121
like we came, in Jesus' name.Elijah got in a cave
00:18:01.121 --> 00:18:02.289
Elijah got in a caveof discouragement,
00:18:02.289 --> 00:18:03.056
of discouragement,and God told him
00:18:03.056 --> 00:18:03.991
and God told himto do something.
00:18:03.991 --> 00:18:05.492
to do something.He said, "All right.
00:18:05.492 --> 00:18:06.426
He said, "All right.I want you to come out
00:18:06.426 --> 00:18:07.427
I want you to come outof this cave of discouragement.
00:18:07.427 --> 00:18:09.129
of this cave of discouragement.Jezebel ran you in here,
00:18:09.129 --> 00:18:09.930
Jezebel ran you in here,Elijah, and you've been
00:18:09.930 --> 00:18:11.131
Elijah, and you've beendiscouraged, and you said,
00:18:11.131 --> 00:18:11.865
discouraged, and you said,'Kill me,' and,
00:18:11.865 --> 00:18:12.599
'Kill me,' and,'I feel like quitting.'"
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:13.734
'I feel like quitting.'"But He said, "Here's what
00:18:13.734 --> 00:18:14.535
But He said, "Here's whatI want you to do.
00:18:14.535 --> 00:18:15.302
I want you to do.If you wanna come out
00:18:15.302 --> 00:18:16.303
If you wanna come outof your cave of discouragement,
00:18:16.303 --> 00:18:18.205
of your cave of discouragement,go anoint three people."
00:18:18.205 --> 00:18:19.206
go anoint three people."And He told him to go --
00:18:19.206 --> 00:18:19.673
And He told him to go --in other words,
00:18:19.673 --> 00:18:21.341
in other words,start sharing your anointing
00:18:21.341 --> 00:18:24.111
start sharing your anointingif you wanna be encouraged.
00:18:24.111 --> 00:18:26.680
if you wanna be encouraged.Now, you gotta get this.
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:28.549
Now, you gotta get this.If you wanna be encouraged,
00:18:28.549 --> 00:18:29.116
If you wanna be encouraged,you've got to go
00:18:29.116 --> 00:18:31.785
you've got to goencourage somebody.
00:18:31.785 --> 00:18:34.354
encourage somebody.As long as you're focused on me,
00:18:34.354 --> 00:18:36.023
As long as you're focused on me,and self, and pity,
00:18:36.023 --> 00:18:36.890
and self, and pity,you're not going
00:18:36.890 --> 00:18:38.859
you're not goingto get encouraged.
00:18:38.859 --> 00:18:40.594
to get encouraged.But He said, "I want you
00:18:40.594 --> 00:18:41.161
But He said, "I want youto start sharing
00:18:41.161 --> 00:18:42.863
to start sharingyour anointing."
00:18:42.863 --> 00:18:43.664
your anointing."You know what?
00:18:43.664 --> 00:18:45.332
You know what?I'm anointed to preach.
00:18:45.332 --> 00:18:46.800
I'm anointed to preach.I'm anointed to sing
00:18:46.800 --> 00:18:47.401
I'm anointed to singand play.
00:18:47.401 --> 00:18:49.102
and play.I know that.
00:18:49.102 --> 00:18:49.503
I know that.And you know
00:18:49.503 --> 00:18:50.270
And you knowwhat I've learned?
00:18:50.270 --> 00:18:51.638
what I've learned?That when I'm discouraged,
00:18:51.638 --> 00:18:53.807
That when I'm discouraged,if I'll share my anointing,
00:18:53.807 --> 00:18:55.709
if I'll share my anointing,if I'll preach in those seasons
00:18:55.709 --> 00:18:57.077
if I'll preach in those seasonswhen I'm discouraged,
00:18:57.077 --> 00:18:58.045
when I'm discouraged,that's when some
00:18:58.045 --> 00:18:59.580
that's when someof my best sermons come,
00:18:59.580 --> 00:19:00.781
of my best sermons come,when I sing and worship
00:19:00.781 --> 00:19:02.549
when I sing and worshipwhen I'm a little discouraged,
00:19:02.549 --> 00:19:04.117
when I'm a little discouraged,seems like that really touches
00:19:04.117 --> 00:19:05.219
seems like that really touchespeople's hearts.
00:19:05.219 --> 00:19:05.652
people's hearts.They don't know
00:19:05.652 --> 00:19:06.553
They don't knowwhat I'm going through,
00:19:06.553 --> 00:19:07.754
what I'm going through,but there's something about
00:19:07.754 --> 00:19:09.489
but there's something aboutwhen you are in your own cave
00:19:09.489 --> 00:19:10.824
when you are in your own caveof discouragement,
00:19:10.824 --> 00:19:12.526
of discouragement,you begin to share
00:19:12.526 --> 00:19:12.960
you begin to sharethe anointing.
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:13.727
the anointing.He said, "Elijah,
00:19:13.727 --> 00:19:15.362
He said, "Elijah,go anoint some people."
00:19:15.362 --> 00:19:16.597
go anoint some people."And too many times,
00:19:16.597 --> 00:19:18.098
And too many times,we get so centered --
00:19:18.098 --> 00:19:19.433
we get so centered --why don't you call somebody
00:19:19.433 --> 00:19:20.400
why don't you call somebodyif you're discouraged,
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:21.702
if you're discouraged,and encourage them?
00:19:21.702 --> 00:19:22.569
and encourage them?Why don't you check up
00:19:22.569 --> 00:19:23.503
Why don't you check upon somebody?
00:19:23.503 --> 00:19:24.771
on somebody?Why don't you hug somebody?
00:19:24.771 --> 00:19:25.372
Why don't you hug somebody?Why don't you take
00:19:25.372 --> 00:19:26.273
Why don't you takesomebody out to lunch?
00:19:26.273 --> 00:19:27.174
somebody out to lunch?Why don't you
00:19:27.174 --> 00:19:29.042
Why don't youencourage somebody?
00:19:29.042 --> 00:19:29.810
encourage somebody?And when you share
00:19:29.810 --> 00:19:32.579
And when you shareyour anointing,
00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:35.515
your anointing,God will bring you out.
00:19:35.515 --> 00:19:36.750
God will bring you out.I wanna end with this.
00:19:36.750 --> 00:19:39.886
I wanna end with this.Pray, praise,
00:19:39.886 --> 00:19:40.821
Pray, praise,lift Him up,
00:19:40.821 --> 00:19:47.027
lift Him up,look up, keep looking up,
00:19:47.027 --> 00:19:47.995
look up, keep looking up,because the devil
00:19:47.995 --> 00:19:50.130
because the devildoesn't mind you celebrating
00:19:50.130 --> 00:19:52.266
doesn't mind you celebratingand remembering that time
00:19:52.266 --> 00:19:53.567
and remembering that timein your past
00:19:53.567 --> 00:19:55.269
in your pastthat you made it through.
00:19:55.269 --> 00:19:56.336
that you made it through.And he really doesn't mind
00:19:56.336 --> 00:20:00.574
And he really doesn't mindyou believing that some time,
00:20:00.574 --> 00:20:02.509
you believing that some time,way out there,
00:20:02.509 --> 00:20:03.043
way out there,God's gonna turn
00:20:03.043 --> 00:20:04.611
God's gonna turnyour battle.
00:20:04.611 --> 00:20:05.912
your battle.I'm going to see
00:20:05.912 --> 00:20:09.082
I'm going to seea victory way out there.
00:20:09.082 --> 00:20:11.084
a victory way out there.That time, some time,
00:20:11.084 --> 00:20:11.685
That time, some time,but the thing
00:20:11.685 --> 00:20:15.355
but the thingthat makes hell nervous,
00:20:15.355 --> 00:20:16.256
that makes hell nervous,and the thing the enemy
00:20:16.256 --> 00:20:17.424
and the thing the enemywants to do to keep --
00:20:17.424 --> 00:20:19.059
wants to do to keep --that will keep you
00:20:19.059 --> 00:20:19.793
that will keep youin discouragement
00:20:19.793 --> 00:20:20.794
in discouragementis convince you
00:20:20.794 --> 00:20:23.397
is convince youthat this time,
00:20:23.397 --> 00:20:25.265
that this time,you're not gonna make it.
00:20:25.265 --> 00:20:26.767
you're not gonna make it.This time,

00:26:29.696 --> 00:26:31.064
wanna invite you to join us
00:26:31.064 --> 00:26:32.632
on our Holy Land Tour.
00:26:32.632 --> 00:26:34.000
It's an amazing trip,
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:34.934
unlike anything
00:26:34.934 --> 00:26:36.603
you've ever experienced,
00:26:36.603 --> 00:26:38.271
and we'll be on the trip,
00:26:38.271 --> 00:26:39.472
we get on the busses,
00:26:39.472 --> 00:26:40.940
our family will be on there,
00:26:40.940 --> 00:26:41.941
and I promise you,
00:26:41.941 --> 00:26:43.810
it will change your life.
00:26:43.810 --> 00:26:44.377
And you've been
00:26:44.377 --> 00:26:45.011
thinking about it,
00:26:45.011 --> 00:26:46.346
you've been praying about it,
00:26:46.346 --> 00:26:47.847
this is the year to go.
00:26:47.847 --> 00:26:49.883
God's gonna open your eyes
00:26:49.883 --> 00:26:51.484
to things you've never seen
00:26:51.484 --> 00:26:52.719
and experienced before
00:26:52.719 --> 00:26:53.987
in the holy land.
00:26:53.987 --> 00:26:56.756
