I like to start 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.080 with something funny each week, and I heard about this guy. 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.800 He was late to work for the third day in 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:25.960 a row. His boss said, sarcastically, Okay, what's your excuse 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.240 this time? He said, I'm so sorry. But my wife 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.720 asked to drive me to work, and I told her 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.720 she didn't need to, but she insisted and said she 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.000 could be ready in ten minutes. But then when we left, 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.800 the drawbridge was up and I had to swim across 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.839 the river fighting off alligators. Then a helicopter picked me up, 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.399 put me on top of a building. I ran down 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.160 sixty flights of stairs and got here as quickly as 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.440 I could. His boss shook his head and said, you 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.639 expect me to believe that no woman can get dressed 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.880 in just ten minutes? All right, hold up your vi 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.320 say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.240 I am what it says I am. I have what 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.880 it says I have. I can do what it says 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.720 I can do. Today I will be taught the word 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:16.240 of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:20.840 heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.400 God bless you. I want to talk to you today 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.400 about being a bounce back person. Life is full of 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.360 things that try to push us down. We all face 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:36.160 disappointments and setbacks. Maybe you've got bad news concerning your health, 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:41.560 relationship didn't work out, or perhaps the hurricane damaged your house. 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.400 It was a setback, and it's easy to get discouraged, 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.360 lose our enthusiasm, and too often we just settle where 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.960 we are. But if we're going to see God's best, 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:56.080 we have to have this bounce back mentality. That means 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.360 when you get knocked down, you don't stay down, you 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:04.000 get back up again. It means when disappointments come, things 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.960 don't go your way, you don't have a pity party 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.120 and think life's just not fair. No, you shake it 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.160 off knowing what was meant for your harm, God's gonna 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.440 use for your good. When you're a bounce back person, 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:21.560 you know that every adversity, every setback, is not permanent. 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:26.159 It's not going to last forever. It's only temporary. Weeping 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.800 may endure for a night, but you know joy is 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.040 coming in the morning, so you don't sit around complaining 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.599 thinking about how bad it was and everything you lost. 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.599 You know God is a god of restoration and that 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.640 he's promised to pay you back double for every unfair situation. 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.320 Instead of being discouraged by the difficulty, you're encouraged by it, 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.160 knowing that you're gonna get double for your trouble. You're 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.280 gonna come out better off than you were before. And 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.440 I believe today I'm looking at bounce back. People. You 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.440 have the seed of all Mighty God. The same power 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.279 that raised Christ from the dead lives on the inside 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.800 of you. In your blood right now is the DNA 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:13.160 of a winner, the DNA of an overcomer. There is 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:17.440 no challenge too difficult for you. There is no obstacle 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:22.839 too high to overcome. No sickness, no disappointment, no person, 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.800 no hurricane, no stock market can keep you from your 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:31.839 God given destiny. The enemy may have done his best, 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.200 but his best will never be enough. If you stay 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.479 in faith, what was meant to stop you will not 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.680 be a stumbling block, but rather a stepping stone so 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.080 you can go to a higher level. Now, I want 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.920 you to get your hopes up. You are not average, 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.560 You are not ordinary. You are a child of the 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.720 most high God. Life may have dealt you a tough 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.799 blow at times, it feels like the wind's been taken 0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:00.040 out of ourselves. But the good news is all that 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.480 Mighty God has put a bounce back in your spirit. 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.120 That's why when you're tempted to give up on your dreams, 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.080 when you're tempted to just settle where you are, something 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.680 down in here says no way. This is not who 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.320 I am. I was created to live in victory. I 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:20.080 was created to overcome this sickness. I was created to 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:24.279 rise above these problems. Why is that? It's in your dna. 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.800 You have the blood of a winter, and when times 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.080 get tough, you can't sit back and feel sorry for yourself. 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.280 You've got to dig your heels in, have the attitude. 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.520 I may be knocked down, but I didn't get knocked out, 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:42.320 and I recognize this setback is simply a setup for 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.279 a greater comeback. And it's just a matter of time 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.520 before I come back stronger, healthier, better than I was before. 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.279 During the recent hurricane, I noticed the different types of 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.720 trees that had been blown down, huge oak trees four 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.719 or five feet around. They looked as stirred can be, 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.320 but they were no match for one hundred mile an 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.840 hour winds. I saw pine trees must have been one 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.080 hundred and forty feet tall, laying in yard after yard. 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:15.880 Big trees, small trees, pines, oaks, elms, magnolias. None of 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.840 them could withstand those hurricane force winds. There was just 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.840 one type of tree I noticed didn't get blown down. 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:27.520 It's the palm tree. You know why God designed the 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:32.200 palm tree to withstand the storm. Unlike most other trees, 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.920 the palm tree is able to bend so it doesn't break. 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.040 In fact, the palm tree can bend all the way 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.200 over to where the top is almost touching the ground 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.720 and still not break. During a hurricane. It may be 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.600 that way for four or five hours. Looks like it's done, 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.160 looks like it's over. I can imagine the hurricane huffing 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.720 and puffing and thinking, I may not be able to 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.440 uproot you, but at least I will keep you from 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.200 ever standing up again. That hurricane and keeps blowing. He 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.320 thinks he's winning the battle. But when the hurricane runs 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.920 out of steam, when the winds die down, you know 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.440 what happens. That palm tree comes right back up to 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:14.000 where it was before. It's just like it. Stretch is 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.760 real good. Takes a deep breath and says, Oh, yeah, 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.760 this is where I'm supposed to be. Why is that? 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.440 Because God put a bounce back in the palm tree. 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.280 It may get pushed over, but it's temporary. It's only 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.800 a matter of time before it rises right back up again. 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.600 During the storm, the palm tree is not worried. He 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.560 doesn't get depressed and think, Oh, no, another hurricane. This 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.920 will be the one. I'm sure it's going to defeat me. Now, 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.040 he just stays in peace. He sees other trees left 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.320 and right going down, but he knows who he is. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.440 He knows Almighty God has put a bounce back in 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.760 his DNA studies tell us during a hurricane, when the 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.760 palm tree is being stretched, when it's being bent and 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:02.720 pushed over, its roots system is actually being strengthened and 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.600 given new opportunities for growth. When the storm is over, 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.719 the palm tree smiles and says, I knew I was 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.760 gonna come back up, But what do you know, I 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.800 came back up stronger than I was before. That's what 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.079 God says. What happened to each one of us? If 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:21.120 we just stay in faith Psalm ninety two twelve, the 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:25.800 righteous will flourish like a palm tree. Isn't it interesting? 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.440 God could have said we would flourish like an oak tree. 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.640 That means we'd be big, sturdy, have great branches. He 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.760 could have said we'd flourish like a pine tree. That 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.720 means we'd be tall and impressive, be able to see 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.320 for miles. But the reason God said we'd flourish like 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:46.040 a palm tree is because God knew there would be 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:50.160 difficult times. He knew things would come against us to 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:54.240 try to steal our joy, steal our victory. So God said, 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.439 you're going to be like a palm tree, because I 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:01.280 put a bounce back in your spirit. The storms of 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:05.120 life will come, the winds will blow. At times, it 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.760 looks like we're done. Looks like it's over. We got 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:11.280 a bad report about our health, we didn't get a promotion. 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.360 Looks like one of our dreams has died. But just 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.600 like that palm tree, when the storm is over, you're 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.360 not gonna stay down. You're gonna come right back up again. 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.319 No weapon formed against you will ever prosper. A good 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:28.000 person may fall seven times, yet the Lord raises him up. 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.920 The winds may be blowing in your life today. Maybe 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.600 business is slow, you're facing a health issue. A child 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:39.080 won't do what's right. Your attitude should be. It's just 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.600 a matter of time before this turns around. This sickness 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.560 may have me down, but I'm not staying down. God 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.480 is restoring health back to me. This disappointment may look 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.720 like the end, but I know when one door closes, 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.360 God always opens up another door. Times may be tough, 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.640 the storm may be raging, but I'm not worried. I'm 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.240 not up set. I know I am the righteous. I'm 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.320 doing my best to please God. That means I'm like 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:09.080 a palm tree. So when the storm's over, I'm not 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.079 gonna be laying down. I'm not gonna be defeated and depressed. 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:16.880 I'm gonna come out stronger, healthier, increased, and promoted. Friends, 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.480 you have a bounce back in your spirit if you'll 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.680 stay in agreement with God. No matter how hard the 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.560 winds blow, they cannot uproot you. They cannot break you, 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.760 they cannot topple you. When it's all said and done, 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.400 you'll be able to say I'm still standing. I came 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:38.199 right back up, went through a divorce, somebody walked out 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.200 on me. I didn't think I'd ever be happy, but 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.240 look at me now, happy as can be. Matter of fact, 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.160 I'm kind of glad I got rid of that old goat. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.920 Many of you can say today you've been through a 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:54.920 major setback, a major disappointment. I don't know, somebody cheated 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:57.839 in a business deal, you didn't get a promotion, a 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:02.280 relationship didn't work out. You should be down and defeated, 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.360 you should be all washed up. But look at you today. 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.200 You're like that energizer bunny. You keep going and going 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.520 and going. You may bend, but you're not going to break. 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.760 You have bounced back power put in you by the 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:20.160 creator of the universe. And when the storms come, life 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:24.600 gets difficult. You're struggling in a relationship, in your finances, 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:28.760 in your health. Recognize that is not your normal state. 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.080 Don't accept that as the way it's always going to be. 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.360 You may be a little bent right now because of 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:39.960 the strong winds, but that's not permittent. Those winds, that storm, 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.360 that trouble, that sickness is not going to last forever. 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.560 It's just a season. When those winds stop blowing, and 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.120 they will, this too shall pass. You're going to rise 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.800 right back up again. Why you've got that bounce back power, 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.079 and we have to realize in life there will always 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.520 be disappointments and setbacks, but we are We're not like 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.560 an oak tree that can be toppled over. We're not 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.440 like a pine tree that can be blown down. You 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.920 and I are like the palm tree. We may get bent, 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.640 but when it's all said and done, we're gonna rise 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.760 right back up, stronger than we were before. It's in 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:20.400 our DNA. There's an interesting scripture in Jeremiah five point 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:24.240 twenty two. It says that God has put a decree 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.680 in every grain of sand that says that sand will 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.000 keep the ocean in its boundaries and the ocean will 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.360 not cross over it. You might say that the sand 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:40.360 has the DNA to contain the ocean in the natural 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.960 that doesn't make a lot of sense. The sand is 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:47.040 nothing compared to the ocean. The ocean is massive and powerful. 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:51.559 Yet the tiny little sand, because of the DNA God 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.640 put in it, it can keep the oceans in its boundaries. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.440 I can imagine the sand and the ocean having a conversation. 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.040 The ocean says, little sand, do you really think you 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.920 can contain me? I am billions and billions of times 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.160 more massive and more powerful than you. There is no 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.520 way in the world you can keep me in my boundaries. 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.040 The little sand says, listen here, mister ocean. It doesn't 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.360 matter how big or small I am, doesn't matter what 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.200 I have or don't have. All that matters is Almighty 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:27.040 God has put a decree in me and in my dna, 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.760 I have the ability to hold you back. That makes 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:34.320 the ocean so mad. He starts churning and churning. This 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:39.000 big storm comes and he rushes past the sand way 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:43.600 beyond its normal boundaries. The ocean begins to laugh and laugh. 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.280 He says, I told you so, I told you you 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:49.680 could never contain me. But do you know the little 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:53.520 sand doesn't get upset. The little sand doesn't go call 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.000 nine to one one. He doesn't say God, I thought 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.120 you put the promise in me. No, every ga in 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:04.080 a sand like a big choir. They begin to sing 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.200 in unison. You've got to go back, You got to 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.520 go back, You got to go back. Sure enough, as 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.240 soon as the storm's over, as soon as the wind 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:17.080 quits blowing, the ocean goes right back to its normal boundaries. 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.200 Not because the sand is bigger, not because the sand 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:24.080 is more powerful, but because God put a decree in 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:28.040 the sand. In the same way, God has put a 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:31.720 decree in each one of us. When you are created. 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.720 In your DNA, it says you are blessed, You are prosperous, 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:41.000 You are healthy, you are strong, you are talented. Your 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.880 DNA says God always causes you to triumph. Those that 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.760 are for you are greater than those that are against you. 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.600 That is in the very core of your makeup. If 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.120 you'll get in agreement with God in your thoughts, in 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.640 your attitudes, in the word you speak, in your actions, 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:03.240 then the DNA on the inside will override anything on 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:07.760 the outside. Like that little sand. When you feel overwhelmed, 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.400 when life deals you a tough blow, your attitude should 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.760 be you gotta go back. Well, Joe, the doctor said, 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.040 I might as well learn to live with this sickness. 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.960 Nothing more they can do. No, every day you need 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.200 to tell that sickness you gotta go back. My DNA 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:28.000 says I'm well, I'm healthy with long life. God satisfies me. 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:29.080 Well. 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.920 When the stock market wins down, I lost a lot, 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.680 cost me a bunch. I don't know what I'm gonna do. No, 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:36.920 you need to start telling it. You gotta go back. 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:41.560 My DNA says, I'm blessed, I'm prosperous. God's opening up 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.760 the windows of heaven. His favor surrounded me. I can't 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.240 outrun the good things of God. Well, my child won't 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.680 do right. Seems like the more I pray, the worse 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:55.560 he gets. He's causing me so much heartache and pain. No, 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.320 instead of being depressed, instead of talking about the problem, 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.440 you need to start speaking to that problem and telling 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.520 it it's got to go back. God. You said my 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.560 children would be mighty in the land. You said the 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.600 seed of the righteous is blessed. You said, as for 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.760 me and my house, we will serve the Lord God. 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.879 That's in my DNA. So I'm not moved by what 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.159 I see or what I don't see. I choose to 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:24.679 believe the promise you put in me will override any 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:28.679 negative circumstance. When you have that kind of attitude, like 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.400 that little sand, you will always have the last laugh. 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.800 But here's the key. Don't talk about your problems. Talk 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.000 to your problems. Tell them they've got to go back. 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.800 I hear people say things like my arthritis is really 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.760 acting up today. I understand what they mean, but don't 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:49.120 talk about it, talk to it. Just say listen, near arthritis, 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.440 you gotta go back. You're not welcome in my body. 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.439 My body is a temple of the most high God. 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.680 You're gonna have to find somewhere else to live because 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:04.840 hell and healing are the only things I allow in me. Well, Joel, 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.840 I've struggled with depression for years, or I've had this 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:10.720 addiction since I was a teenager. Now you've got to 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:14.480 get a new perspective. Start talking to that trouble. Just 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:19.800 say listen here, alcohol, nicotine, drugs. You've controlled me long enough. 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.520 This is a new day. You have got to go back. 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.720 I am drawing the line in the sand. I know 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:29.280 whom the sun sets free is free. Indeed, in my 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:34.800 DNA is health, wholeness, freedom and victory. If you will 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:38.000 get in agreement with God. Anything that's trying to hold 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:42.000 you back is only temporary. Didn't come to stay, it 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:45.840 came to pass. That means sickness has got to go back. 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.040 Poverty and lack has got to go back. That's not 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:53.399 in your DNA. Depression and discouragement has got to go back. 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:59.640 In your DNA, there's courage, confidence, favor, health, wholeness, victory, 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:03.440 and a abundant life is down in your DNA. Make 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:07.399 a decision. Anything to the contrary is not allowed to stay. 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.880 It's temporary. It's got to go back. We have people 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:13.640 that watch us from the hospitals. Many of them are 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:18.560 facing cancer and other serious illnesses. It's so important that 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:21.600 you don't just sit back and accept that disease as 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.919 the norm. Too often we don't have the resolve that 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.959 we should. We get so overwhelmed by it and so 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:32.640 discouraged we give up before the battle even starts. You've 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.040 got to be a fighter. You got to dig your 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:39.800 heels in and every day announce to yourself and announce 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:44.440 to the enemy. This cancer is not welcome in my body. 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:47.480 It goes against the DNA that God has put on 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:52.080 the inside. It is a trespasser. It is on private property. 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.000 And as a child of the most o God, I 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:58.280 have the authority to say, cancer, you've got to go back. 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.040 You are not going to defeat me. You're not gonna 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.320 steal my joy. You're not gonna take one day of 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:09.440 my divine destiny. Every morning you need to say, Father, 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.760 I just want to thank you that health and healing 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:17.600 is flowing through my system. That sickness and disease cannot 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.160 live in me. Remember you are like a palm tree. 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:26.200 That disease is only a season. Yes, the wind is blowing, 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.560 but it cannot break you. It cannot topple you. It 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.560 can only bend you. But the good news is you're 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:35.359 gonna bounce right back up. That's the spirit that God's 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.879 put on the inside of each one of you. And 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:42.000 know this, God watches over his children. He has us 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:45.639 in the palm of his hand. God knows every struggle, 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:51.520 every lonely night, every unfair situation. A little sparrow cannot 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:54.679 fall to the ground without God knowing about it. How 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:57.679 much more is God concerned about you and I his 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:01.800 sons and daughters. In the script says when the enemy 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:06.800 comes in like a flood. That means when you feel overwhelmed, 0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:10.919 when the hurricane hits in the stock market dips, what 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:14.359 does God do? He doesn't say, too bad. I told 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.560 your life was going to be hard. You should have 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:20.240 made better decisions. Know, when the enemy comes in like 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:24.280 a flood, God raises up a barrier. In other words, 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:27.879 that gets God's attention. He does not sit back and 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:30.480 make us fight our battles on our own. That's when 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:34.000 God steps up and begins to turn things in our favor. 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.320 It's just like a parent when you see one of 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:41.760 your children in trouble. Somebody or something is bothering them, 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:46.200 mistreating them. We don't even think twice. It just comes 0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:49.159 naturally to us. We stop what we're doing and go 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:53.040 immediately to help them out. I remember one time when 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.840 our son, Jonathan was about two years old. We were 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.400 in the grocery store together and I had walked down 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:00.880 to the end of the isle. He'd stayed there by 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:03.960 the cart that was about forty or fifty feet away. 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:06.320 I could still see him, but while I was looking 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.440 for something, he started getting things off the bottom shelf, 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:12.440 just a few boxes of cereal, making a little mess. 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.120 It's no big deal. I was going to clean it up. 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:17.120 But when this lady came around the corner that worked there, 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:21.040 she got very upset that he was making a mess, 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:24.119 and she started to jump down his throat. She said, 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:26.000 listen to here, young man. You need to learn to 0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:28.600 keep your hands to yourself, and you may not make 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:31.360 a mess in this store. On and on, and when 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:34.480 I heard that, something rose up on the inside of me. 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:37.960 I don't know if it was God or the devil, 0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:43.399 but it sure felt good. Listen. I am as nice 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.480 as can be. I'm kind, I'm friendly. I'll help anybody 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:50.520 with anything. But when somebody starts messing with my children, 0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:52.240 that is a different story. 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:53.399 I don't know. 0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:59.160 I don't know if you've ever seen the Incredible Hulk. 0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:02.720 He's this normal looking guy, and all of a sudden, 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:06.439 he goes through a transformation. His shirt starts ripping, his 0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:10.240 muscles bulge out, his face goes green. That's exactly how 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:13.520 I felt like I could fight a tiger. I mean, 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:16.880 you can mess with me. You can say joels to this, 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.199 to that, No big deal. It doesn't bother me. It 0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:22.200 bounces off of me. But if you mess with my children, 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:24.800 you've got the fight of your life on your hand. 0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:33.240 I may not be big, but dynamite comes in small packages. Listen. 0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:37.760 That's the way our heavenly Father is. When the enemy 0:23:37.880 --> 0:23:41.760 comes in like a flood. That means when sickness tries 0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:45.800 to attack your body, when somebody mistreats you, when you're 0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:48.800 doing the right thing but the wrong thing's happening. God 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:51.399 doesn't sit back and say too bad. No, God steps 0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:53.560 up and says, hey, wait a minute, you're messing with 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:57.200 the wrong person. That's my child, that's my son, that's 0:23:57.280 --> 0:24:01.560 my daughter. If you're gonna mess with them, you got 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:04.399 a first mess with me. And who am I? I 0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:08.400 am the all powerful creator of the universe. God looks 0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:10.800 at your enemies and says, in effect, you want some 0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:15.240 of this, go ahead and make my day. God is saying, 0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:19.440 I am your protection. I am your deliverer, I am 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:22.440 your healer. I am your strength, I am your wisdom, 0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:25.199 I am your victory. You got to know, in the 0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:28.400 tough times of life, you're not alone. You got somebody 0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:32.280 fighting for you. Almighty God has got your back. He's 0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:36.080 got a hedge of protection around you, a bloodline that 0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:39.240 the enemy cannot cross, and some of you today you 0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:42.360 need to get your fire back. Nothing you have been 0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:45.720 through can keep you from your God given destiny. You 0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:48.560 have bounced back before, and you're going to bounce back again. 0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:52.080 You are not a victim. You are a victor. You 0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.520 may be a little bent because of the strong winds, 0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:57.359 but the good news is you're not broke and you 0:24:57.440 --> 0:25:00.639 will bounce back. I love the way David put it. 0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:04.920 God lifted me out of the horrible pit and put 0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:08.639 a new song in my mouth. Just like God lifted 0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:11.639 him out, God is gonna lift you out. Where you 0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:14.840 are is not where you're staying. There are brighter days 0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:19.880 up ahead, favor promotion, increase. No good thing is God 0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:23.600 gonna withhold because you walk up rightly. But you've got 0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:25.480 to do your part. You got to put a new 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:29.160 song in your mouth. That means, don't go around talking 0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:32.160 about your problems, how bad it is and how you're 0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:35.920 never gonna make it. Have a song of victory. Somebody 0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:38.880 ask you how you're doing, don't give them a detailed 0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:42.040 report of how long you didn't have power and man, 0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:44.480 it was so hot and I was so miserable. No, 0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:47.480 your attitude should be I'm too blessed to be stressed. 0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:52.440 I'm healthy, my family as well. Life is good. Well, 0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:54.800 I heard you had a lot of damage during the hurricane. 0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:57.800 Aren't you discouraged? Now I've got that bounce back in 0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:01.560 my spirit. I'm believing God's gonna pay me back double. Well. 0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:03.800 Somebody said you hadn't been feeling well, you've been under 0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:06.879 the weather. Yes that's true, but understand this is not 0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:10.480 my normal state. This too shall pass. It's only temporary. 0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:14.320 I know my bounce back is coming. Another key is 0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:17.080 in the middle of your setback, you need to start 0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:20.679 planning for your comeback, in the middle of the adversity, 0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:22.960 in the middle of the tough time, you need to 0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:25.919 start making your list of who you're going to invite 0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:30.280 to your victory celebration. We drew plans for this beautiful 0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:34.000 building in the middle of a lawsuit that a company 0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:36.120 had filed to try to keep us from moving in. 0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:38.760 Didn't make a lot of sense, but we were planning 0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:42.040 the grand opening. We were laying out the first year's services. 0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:45.600 You cannot wait for everything to be perfect before you 0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:48.840 decide to have your victory party. That means if you're 0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:51.480 in the hospital, you need to start planning what you're 0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:54.600 gonna do when you get out. Or maybe the hurricane 0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:57.960 damaged your house, you need to make an invitation list 0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:01.560 to your party. What party the party you have when 0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:03.840 you move into your new home, or when you show 0:27:03.840 --> 0:27:07.919 off your new furniture or your new carpet. Maybe you 0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:10.720 lost some when the stock market went down. I heard 0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:13.640 somebody say our four o one cas were turned into 0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:18.040 two one case. Listen, you need to start planning. You're 0:27:18.119 --> 0:27:20.840 coming out of debt party. It may not look like 0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:25.200 it in the natural, but we serve a supernatural God. Well, Joel, 0:27:25.240 --> 0:27:26.639 have you seen the stock market? 0:27:26.840 --> 0:27:27.159 Yes? 0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:30.479 But have you seen our God? He is Jehovah, Jiro 0:27:30.680 --> 0:27:37.240 the Lord, our provider. It doesn't say the economy is 0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:40.399 our provider, the stock market even our job. God is 0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:43.480 our provider. And the good news is God is not 0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:46.840 having a down year. I'm happy to report the economy 0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:51.720 in heaven is doing just fine. Don't plan on don't 0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:54.320 plan on having a two to one K, but how 0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:56.760 about a six to one k, a twelve oh one k. 0:27:57.920 --> 0:27:59.960 Just as it went down, it can certainly go up. 0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:03.680 The scripture says, lift up your head and the King 0:28:03.760 --> 0:28:06.720 of Glory will come in. Who is the King of glory? 0:28:07.000 --> 0:28:10.520 The Lord mighty? In battle? This is saying if you 0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:13.560 want God to come in and fight your battles for you, 0:28:13.560 --> 0:28:15.760 you got to lift up your head. You got to 0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:19.080 get a vision of your self rising higher. You can't 0:28:19.119 --> 0:28:21.959 stay focused on where you are. How it's never going 0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:24.639 to get any better. Your life is going to follow 0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:28.200 your vision. And if you're looking down, focused on your problems, 0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:30.560 you'll stay right where you are. You got to lift 0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:33.680 up your head. That means, if you're sick, you got 0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:37.400 to start seeing yourself well. If you're struggling in your finances, 0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:40.760 start seeing yourself with more than enough. You may have 0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:44.560 major obstacles, but you need to see yourself rising above them. 0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:48.240 If you will lift up your head, then the Lord 0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:52.360 Mighty in battle will come in and when God shows up, 0:28:52.680 --> 0:28:56.520 every adversity will be turned to victory. Every battlefield will 0:28:56.520 --> 0:28:59.760 be turned to a blessing field. Friends, you are the 0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:03.520 You're gonna flourish like a palm tree. You have the 0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:06.320 bounce back in your spirit. I declare it in the 0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:08.920 name of Jesus. It will come to pass.
