- "Then the Lordsaid to Moses,
- 00:01:19.988 --> 00:01:21.623

- 00:01:34.135 --> 00:01:35.336
- a bronze serpent,put it on a pole."

- put it on a pole."Raised it up.
- 00:01:36.471 --> 00:01:38.439
- Raised it up."And so it was,

- 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,

- 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]

- 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
- of discouragementis the loss of vision.
- 00:07:42.937 --> 00:07:44.872
- is the loss of vision.Discouragement will make

- And when your visionin life becomes blurry

- in life becomes blurryand unclear,
- 00:07:51.479 --> 00:07:52.113
- and unclear,and you don't know
- 00:07:52.113 --> 00:07:52.947
- and you don't knowwhere you're going,
- 00:07:52.947 --> 00:07:54.048
- where you're going,and you had some
- 00:07:54.048 --> 00:07:54.682
- 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
- and you feel --maybe, you broke up
- 00:07:57.151 --> 00:07:57.818
- 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 you saw yourselfwith them
- 00:07:59.587 --> 00:08:00.588
- with themfor the rest of your life,
- 00:08:00.588 --> 00:08:02.256
- for the rest of your life,and now, everything's blurry
- 00:08:02.256 --> 00:08:03.658
- 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
- It's a dangerous thingto not recognize
- 00:08:09.497 --> 00:08:11.399
- to not recognizewhen you're really discouraged.
- 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.134
- when you're really discouraged.Discouragement will cause a loss
- 00:08:13.134 --> 00:08:15.336

- about life in general,about everything.
- 00:08:21.142 --> 00:08:22.109
- about everything.A discouraged person

- and any risk.That's why when Elijah
- 00:09:19.934 --> 00:09:21.268

- 00:15:03.010 --> 00:15:04.845
- Was it real?Wonder about that experience
- 00:15:04.845 --> 00:15:06.413
- Wonder about that experiencethat you had in an altar,
- 00:15:06.413 --> 00:15:08.015
- that you had in an altar,was that voice real?
- 00:15:08.015 --> 00:15:09.483

- Make you second-guesswhat you said Jesus was to you.
- 00:15:13.387 --> 00:15:14.755
- what you said Jesus was to you.Make you question
- 00:15:14.755 --> 00:15:16.123
- Make you questionthe will of God.
- 00:15:16.123 --> 00:15:17.791
- the will of God.Things will come in life
- 00:15:17.791 --> 00:15:18.659
- Things will come in lifethat will make you question
- 00:15:18.659 --> 00:15:19.893

- 00:15:19.893 --> 00:15:20.728
- the love of God.How can a loving God
- 00:15:20.728 --> 00:15:21.895
- How can a loving Godlet this happen?
- 00:15:21.895 --> 00:15:22.830
- let this happen?I just proclaim,
- 00:15:22.830 --> 00:15:24.231
- I just proclaim,in the middle of my seasons
- 00:15:24.231 --> 00:15:25.332
- in the middle of my seasonsof discouragement,
- 00:15:25.332 --> 00:15:28.102
- of discouragement,there is no God like Jehovah.
- 00:15:28.102 --> 00:15:31.038
- there is no God like Jehovah.I may not see the bird anymore,
- 00:15:31.038 --> 00:15:31.572
- I may not see the bird anymore,I may not hear
- 00:15:31.572 --> 00:15:32.740
- I may not hearthe voice anymore,
- 00:15:32.740 --> 00:15:34.508
- the voice anymore,I may not feel the flutter

- I may not feel the flutterand the joy of the Lord
- 00:15:35.909 --> 00:15:37.711
- and the joy of the Lordin this particular season

- 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
