I like to start with 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.880 something funny, and I heard about these four Catholic ladies. 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.320 They were bragging on their sons. The first one said, 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.240 my son is a priest. When he walks in the room, 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.359 everyone calls him father. The second said, my son is 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.160 a bishop. When he walks in the room, everyone calls 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.880 him your grace. The third said, my son is a cardinal. 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.400 When he walks in the room, everyone calls him your eminence. 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.560 Fourth lady said, my son is six foot three, has 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:48.239 broad shoulders, is incredibly good looking, dresses impetably well. When 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.079 he walks in the room, all the ladies say, oh 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:56.040 my God. All right, come on, say it like you 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.080 mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:01.480 says I am. I have what it says I have. 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.639 I can do what it says I can do. Today 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:08.079 I will be taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess. 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.920 My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.600 never be the same. In Jesus's name, God bless you. 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.880 I want to talk to you today about don't waste 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:20.440 your pain. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:22.040 We all go. 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:26.639 Through disappointments, setbacks, loss, pain is a part of life. 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.480 It's easy to get discouraged, even bitter. I think, why 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.080 is this happening to me? But one of the best 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.960 principles I've learned is don't put a question mark where 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:38.080 God has put a period. 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.040 All of us have things we don't understand. 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.560 One reason is we can't see the big picture for 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.960 our lives. If you have a puzzle on the front 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.480 of the box, there's the picture. You see what it's 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.480 supposed to look like. Maybe it's a sunset overlooking the ocean. 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.760 As a whole, it's fantastic, so beautiful. But if you 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.000 were to take one piece and isolate it, you would think, 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:02.680 look at. 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.680 This funny looking peace. It's a mistake. It's not gonna 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:06.440 fit anywhere. 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:10.480 It's an odd shape, there's nothing beautiful about it. But 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:14.640 the fact is that peace has a perfect place. It's 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:19.400 already been fitted, planned designed. When the other pieces come together, 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.440 it will fit in. The reason you can't see it 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.280 now is because they all. 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:25.240 Are not in place yet. 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.200 In the same way, sometimes we look at pieces in 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.200 our lives that don't make sense, Joel, I went through 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.240 a divorce, I lost a loved one, I'm going through cancer. 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.440 My business went down. This piece couldn't be a part 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.960 of God's plan. But you have to trust that even 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.599 in the painful times, the times you're hurting, you're lonely, 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:50.680 you're taking the treatment. On the surface, that piece doesn't 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:55.599 make sense. But God doesn't make any mistakes. He's already 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.279 designed your life, laid out all the pieces down to 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.920 the smallest de details. God never said that we would 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:07.560 understand everything that happens along the way. He didn't promise 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:11.599 that we'd never have any heartache, pain, disappointment, loss, setbacks. 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.240 But he did promise that it would all work out 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.960 for our good, and that peace is painful, doesn't look 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.760 like it makes any sense. When everything comes together, it 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:27.120 will fit perfectly into place. The key is what we 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.120 do in our times of pain. 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:31.279 Pain will change us. 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.200 Heartache, loss, disappointments, they don't leave us the same. 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.680 When I lost my father, I didn't come out like 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.560 I was before. I was changed. 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.560 If you go through a divorce, a legal battle, a 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:49.320 friend betrays you, eventually that will pass. You'll get through it, 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.800 but you will be different now. How the pain changes 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:54.640 you is. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.080 Up to you. 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.120 You can come out better or you can come out better. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.880 You can come out with a chip on your shoulder 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.400 blaming God, or you can come out stronger with a 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.520 greater confidence in God. You can come out defeated, giving 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.960 up on your dreams, or you can come out with 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.320 a new passion, a new fire, excited about the new 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.479 opportunities in front of you. All of us experience pain. 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.960 My challenge, don't just go through it, grow through it. 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:29.640 That difficulty is an opportunity to get stronger, to develop character, 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:34.520 to gain new confidence. Anybody can give up, anybody can 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.040 let it overwhelm you, but you know what that's doing, 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:38.719 wasting your pain. 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.560 That pain is not there to stop you. 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:45.240 It's there to prepare you, to increase you, to develop you. 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.520 The scripture talks about how God is in control not 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.920 just of our lives, but he's in control of our enemies. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.160 Satan had to ask God for permission to test job. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:06:59.720 The enemy may turn on the. 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:03.200 Fire, but the good news is God has his hand 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:07.680 on the thermostat. God controls how much heat, how much pain, 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:08.760 how much adversity. 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.280 He knows what we can handle. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.200 If it was going to harm us, rather than help us, 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.360 God would have turned back the intensity. In those tough times, 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:23.480 when you're uncomfortable, going through a loss, dealing with an illness, 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.440 you could easily let it overwhelm you. 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.320 It's helpful to remind yourself. 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.800 I may be in this fire, but I know who 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.360 controls the temperature, The God who breathed life into me, 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.000 the God who is for me and not against me, 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.440 the God who crowned me with favor, the God who 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:45.600 takes pleasure in prospering me. He's in complete control. He's 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.720 not going to let it get too hot. He's not 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:48.840 going to let it defeat me. 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.280 I may not like it, but I'm not a whiner. 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.840 I'm a warrior. I know I can handle this. 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.200 You have that attitude, you'll come out stronger, increase, promoted, 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.000 better than you were before. We've all heard the saying 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:07.840 no pain, no gain. If everything was always easy, we 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.600 wouldn't be prepared for our destiny. Some of the things 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.400 I faced today, if I would have faced them ten 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.120 years ago, they would have overwhelmed me. I couldn't handle 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:22.080 it back then. God knows what you need when. 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:22.440 You need it. 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:27.080 Every struggle is making you stronger. Every difficulty is growing 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:31.760 you up. Every painful time, even though you don't like it, 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.760 it's developing something in you that can only be developed 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:39.640 in the tough times. Don't complain about the pain. Without 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.800 the pain, we couldn't reach the fullness of our destinies. 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.400 Researchers did an experiment with bumblebees. They took them up 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.960 into space to study the effects of weightlessness on them. 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:55.480 The bees floated through the air with great ease, didn't 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.440 have to use their wings. I'm sure they thought this 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:02.119 is the way we were made. No struggle, no adversity, 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:06.000 no resistance. For a few days, everything was great. But 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.240 on the fourth day something happened. 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:12.679 They all died. They loved it being easy, no adversity. 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.400 But the problem was they weren't created to not have 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:22.120 any resistance in the same way we were not created 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.079 to float through life on flowery beds of ease. We're 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.839 going to the sweep by and by, but we are 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.880 living in the nasty now and now. 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:33.160 We love to not have. 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.960 Any pain, loss, disappointments, heartaches, betrayal. 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:37.440 That's not reality. 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.520 Difficulties are a part of life. Have the right perspective 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:46.040 in those tough times. God is getting you prepared. If 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.920 it was too much, he would have turned back the temperature. 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.520 He's got his hand on the thermostat. Now quit telling 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.520 yourself you can't take it. You're not weak, you are 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.760 well able. You are armed with strength for this battle. 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.280 You are full of can I do power? The reason 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.720 the fire is so hot is because God has something 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:09.320 amazing in your future. He's getting you prepared for the 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:13.480 next level of your destiny. See, God doesn't just randomly say, 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:15.239 let me give them some pain. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.280 To make their life miserable. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.920 Let me hit her with the sickness, let me hit 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:22.120 him with some marriage problems. There is a purpose for 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:26.280 the pain. We may not always understand it. Joe, Why 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.040 did I get sick? Why did I lose my loved one? 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.080 Why did my marriage not make it? I can't answer that, 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.360 but I can tell you if God allowed it, he 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.160 knows how to bring good out of it. 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.880 This is what faith is all about. God. 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.160 I don't like the pain, but I trust you. I 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:44.480 believe you're in control. 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:45.080 Now. 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.240 I'm not gonna just go through it. I'm gonna grow 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.160 through it. I'm gonna keep a good attitude. I'm gonna 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.520 count it all joy, knowing that this pain is leading 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:54.280 to my gain. 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.319 Sometimes we bring pain on ourselves. 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.720 We make poor choicest relationship we know is not good, 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.040 or maybe get over our head and our spending. Now 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.640 it's painful, we're having to deal with the consequences. 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:09.520 And God is full of mercy. 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.360 He'll always give us the grace to get out of it. 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.800 But the way to not waste your pain is you 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:19.160 have to learn the lesson. Be big enough to look 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.079 back and say, Okay, here's where I missed it. I 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.280 ignored the warnings. I got involved in something that I 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.600 shouldn't have. I got out of God's time and got 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.320 in a hurry. Not going to do that anymore. There's 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:34.160 a lesson in the pain. Don't be hard headed and 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.840 have to keep going through the same pain again and again. 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.080 A man I know has. 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.440 Struggled with diabetes most of his life. He ended up 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.679 a month in the hospital. I saw him recently. He 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.640 looks better than ever, he said Joel. That stay in 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:51.720 the hospital was a wake up call for me. I've 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.800 lost forty pounds, I've changed my diet, I exercise every day. 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.480 I feel like a new man. What was he doing? 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.280 Not wasting the pain? He learned a lesson. And we 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.320 talk a lot about letting go of the past, letting 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.400 go of the mistakes, the failures, the divorce, and yes, 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.680 that's true, but another way to say it is remember 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:16.160 the lesson. Remember what you learned in the experience and 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.880 then let go of the negative event. But if you 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.839 go through a painful time and you don't come out 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.880 with what you were supposed to learn, you're doing yourself 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.040 a disservice. I talked to a man a while back, 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.920 and he was about to get married for his fifth time. 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.360 And I didn't know and I'm not judging him. 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.000 I don't know his story, but he made a statement, Joel, 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.240 pray for me. All of my wives end up running 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.080 around on me. I didn't say it, but I thought 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.840 to myself, the one common denominator in this thing is you. 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.920 There is a lesson in that pain somewhere that he's missing. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.440 Don't keep repeating the same mistakes again and again. It's 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.839 like this guy heard he was driving his car and 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.200 had an accident, got out, so up went over to 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.600 the other driver said, lady, you need to learn how 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.199 to drive. You're the fourth person this run into me today. 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.280 Here's my question, are you bringing pain on yourself? Are 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.840 you struggling in a relationship not fulfilled because you keep 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:20.040 saying everything you feel like saying. Here's a newsflash, the 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:21.959 pain will stop if you zip it up. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.439 Don't just go through it, grow through it. 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:29.040 Other times we experience pain that have nothing to do 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.160 with our choices. Wasn't our fault. We were doing the 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.839 right thing and the wrong thing happened. The scripture says, 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.199 rain falls on the just and the unjust. You can 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.720 be the just, honoring God, being your best, helping others. 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.760 And it rains in your life. 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:49.000 There are forces of darkness trying to keep you from 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:50.280 your destiny. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.720 God could have stopped it, but he didn't. 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.600 Even though it's painful now, if you'll stay in faith, 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.120 that will lead you towards your destiny. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.240 The age of forty. 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.080 Eight, my mom was doing the right thing, raising five 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.840 of us children, helping my dad, pastor the church. 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.520 Life was good. Then it started raining. 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.720 She was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer, given a few 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:18.600 weeks to live, and that was not only uncomfortable physically, obviously, 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:23.480 but it was also painful emotionally, thinking about possibly leaving 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:28.000 her children, leaving her husband. But my mom didn't get depressed, 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:30.560 she didn't get better and start blaming God. 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:34.720 Her attitude was, God, my life is in your hands. 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.720 I know you promised the number of my days you 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.240 will fulfill. People don't have the final say. God, I 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:42.560 know you have the final say. 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:43.880 And it didn't happen. 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.960 Overnight, but little by little, my mother got better and better. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:51.040 Today, thirty four years later, she's not only still healthy 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.880 and whole. But here's my point. 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:58.760 In that difficult time, out of that pain, God bursts 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.440 something new on the end. Se she started going around 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.640 praying for other people who were sick. Till to this 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.000 day she goes up to the medical center every week 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.320 and has a prayer service in the chapel. 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.720 The very thing that was meant. 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.600 To destroy her, God used it to push her into 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:20.960 a new level of her destiny. Friends, God knows how 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.920 to take your mess and turn it into your message. 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.400 Take what was meant for harm and use it to 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:27.320 your advantage. 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.480 There are times like with my mom. 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.640 God will allow us to go through a season of 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:37.040 difficulty so he can burst something new on the inside. 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:38.760 Paul said in Corinthians. 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:43.560 The comfort we receive in our difficulties, now we can 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:47.080 share that same comfort with other people in their time 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.680 of need. When you go through something you don't understand 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:51.840 doesn't make sense. 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.560 Instead of getting negative, bitter God, why. 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:58.360 Did this happen, have a new perspective. The reason God 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.200 allowed it. 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:01.520 Is because he can trust you. 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.320 He knows he can count on you to take the 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.680 same love, the same healing, the same encouragement, and share 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.080 it with others. Even though that struggle with cancer was 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.840 very difficult for my mother, she talks about how she 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.480 wouldn't change it, She wouldn't have it any different. 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.000 The pain was for a greater purpose. 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.280 Maybe you've been through something you don't understand, like my mom, 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:28.960 a sickness, abuse, infertility, you're raising a difficult child. Life 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:30.480 hasn't turned out the way you'd hoped. 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:31.240 It's painful. 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.560 It's easy to take on a victim mentality, Joel. If 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.200 God was good, why did this happen to me? Why 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.200 did these people mistreat me growing up? Why did I 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:44.520 have this bad break? It's because God knows he can 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.480 trust you. The forces of darkness tried to take you out, 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.640 but God had his hand on the thermostat. He said, 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.800 not so fast. That's my son, that's my daughter. I've 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:58.880 got an assignment for them to fulfill. Just like God 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:02.680 said to Satan, you can test job, but you can't 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:04.080 take his life. 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:05.440 He's not gonna quit serving me. 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.800 I know what job's made of God is saying the 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.439 same thing about you. It may be painful, but I 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.600 know what they're made of. It may be difficult, may 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.720 not be fair, but I'm not only gonna bring them out, 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.640 I'm gonna bring them out better, and I'm gonna use 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.480 them to help other people who are struggling in the 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:28.080 same areas. God can trust you, there's a purpose for 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:33.360 that pain. Do you know how many businesses, charities, ministries 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:36.960 have been birthed out of pain. May of nineteen eighty, 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:41.240 Cindy Lightner received a phone call saying that her thirteen 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.399 year old daughter, Carrie had been hit by a car 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:48.800 walking to church. Unfortunately, Carrie lost her life that day. 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:50.880 This mother was devastated. 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.560 She didn't think she could go on until she learned 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.959 the man driving the car was under the influence of 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:02.199 alcohol and he was a repeat offender. When she heard that, 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.520 something rose up in her like she had never felt 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:06.840 in her. 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:08.159 Late daughter's bedroom. 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:13.480 She started a new organization, no money, no influence, no experience. 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:18.480 She called it Mad Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Today her 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.760 organization has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, change laws, 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:24.000 influence policy. 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:30.080 Cindy Leitner understands this principle. She didn't waste her pain. 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.000 No, it didn't bring her daughter back, but she knew 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.000 there was a purpose for that pain. She could have 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:41.080 sat around depressed, bitter, blaming God, but she didn't put 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:45.000 a question mark where God put a period. That peace 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:47.800 in her puzzle didn't make sense at the time, but 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.960 she believed that when everything came together, it would fall 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:52.080 perfectly into place. 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.439 That's exactly what happened. Today. She's impacting the world. 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:00.800 Most of us will never experience anything as tragic as 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:04.040 Cindy did. But if she can take one of the 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.760 greatest pains in life and turn it around to become 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:11.320 a force for good, I believe you and I can 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.920 find a purpose in our pain. Don't get caught up 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:18.400 and wear this piece to my puzzle fits Joel. 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.199 Doesn't make sense. This is an ugly piece. Keep moving forward. 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:22.760 Do like she did. 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:28.119 Go out and encourage somebody else. Healing comes when you 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:31.240 get your mind off of your own pain, what you lost, 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.560 what didn't work out, and you go help others. But 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.560 as long as you stay focused on yourself, you're going 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:41.480 to get stuck. There's a blessing in that pain. You 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:45.280 have something to give others. You can encourage people who 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.240 are going through what you've been through. 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:49.960 A lady I know got a bad. 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:53.000 Medical report and doctors found what they thought was a 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:56.080 cancerous tumor, and we prayed right here that the report 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.040 would come back negative, but indeed they found out it 0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:02.240 was cancer. She's been coming to Lakewood for a long time. 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.919 She knew she's not a victim, She's a victor. She 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.720 knew God wouldn't allow it unless he could bring good 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.560 out of it. Like my mother, she didn't get defeated. 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.880 Her attitude was, God, I know I'm in the palm 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.399 of your hand. Nothing can snatch me away. God, I 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:22.040 don't understand it, but I trust you. For one year 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:25.720 she took chemotherapy. Wasn't easy, she lost all her hair, 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:30.400 got very sick. But today she is eleven years cancer free. 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:34.760 You know what she does now, She goes back to 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:39.639 the same hospital as a volunteer and she encourages the 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:43.479 people that are fighting cancer. She tells them, I know 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:44.440 what you're going through. 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.720 I've been there. I've taken the chemo, and look, God 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:49.640 did it for me. He can do it for you. 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:54.840 She's not wasting her pain. Her test has become her testimony. 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:58.560 We've all been through things that are uncomfortable. We didn't 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.160 like it, but God made a way when we didn't 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.800 see away. If it wasn't for his healing, his favor, 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:08.479 his goodness, his mercy, we wouldn't be here. God's counting 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:12.160 on us to let our light shine. What you've been 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:15.560 through can help somebody else get through it. Be on 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:17.840 the lookout for somebody you can encourage. 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:19.200 Don't waste your pain. 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:23.280 My friend, coach Dell Brown at LSU told about a 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.560 young lady named Lolo Jones. You probably heard of her. 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.800 She's a star sprinter. She holds the world record in 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:33.000 the hurdles. Two thousand and eight, she was at the 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.320 Olympic Games, heavily favored to win the gold medal. 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:38.879 Nobody had even come close to her time. 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:42.200 She lined up on the track, the starter fired the gun, 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:46.159 she took off running. Everything was going great. She was 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:50.040 in first place, like expected. Eight hurdles down, two to go, 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:54.200 and she wins the gold. A dream comes true. But somehow, 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:57.840 on that ninth hurdle, her timing got off. She hid it, stumbled, 0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:01.080 fell to the ground that allowed the other runners to 0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:02.280 pass her by. 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:05.840 She didn't win the gold, a huge disappointment. She trained 0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.959 her whole life for that twelve second race. Now it 0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:09.440 was over. 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:14.040 They interviewed her a little afterwards, and she said, in effect, 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:18.639 yes it's painful. Yes I'm disappointed, but I know now 0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:19.520 I can. 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:20.919 Help other people who have fallen. 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.560 When you've been through something, in one sense, you've been 0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:30.240 given a gift. You are uniquely qualified to help others 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:34.000 struggling in that same situation. Don't sit around feeling sorry 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:38.960 for yourself. Go out and lift somebody else up. Friends, 0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:43.560 everything happens to us for a reason. Nothing is a coincidence. 0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:47.479 Some things are to help us grow, mature, come up higher. 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:51.240 Then there are times God will allow us to go 0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:55.439 through a difficult season so later on we can be 0:22:55.520 --> 0:23:00.359 instrumental in helping somebody else overcome. Can God trust you 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:03.680 with the pain? Can God trust you to be uncomfortable? 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:05.720 Will you get negative? Better? 0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:06.040 God? 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:07.240 Why is this happening to me? 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:11.480 I say this respectfully, It's not all about you. What 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:14.000 if God allowed it so three years from now you 0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:15.679 can help somebody else move forward? 0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:18.919 Can God trust you? When my father went to be 0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:22.960 with the Lord, You've lost loved ones very painful. I 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:25.840 didn't like it. I was uncomfortable. But do you know 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:27.120 how many people tell me. 0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:30.360 Joel, when you talk about your father and how much 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:32.600 you loved him, and how you stepped up to pastor, 0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:36.119 to the church that helped me to overcome when my 0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:39.000 loved one went to be with the Lord. With the 0:23:39.080 --> 0:23:43.040 comfort I've received, I can share that comfort with others. 0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:46.640 We all have something to give. We've all been through. 0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:49.479 A hurt, a loss of disappointment. Don't see it as 0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:51.760 all men. This is so bad now. You may not 0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:54.600 have liked it, but there's a purpose for that pain. 0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:58.320 I saw a report on the news about this lady. 0:23:58.720 --> 0:23:59.879 She was a larger woman. 0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:03.960 She'd always been perfectly healthy, but she started feeling a 0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:04.919 little nauseated. 0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:06.840 Couldn't figure out what was wrong. 0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:10.720 Over the next few months, her back started hurting, her 0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:12.840 feet swelling, couldn't sleep at night. 0:24:13.520 --> 0:24:15.080 She went to the doctor early on. 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:17.400 They thought it was some kind of virus that would 0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:21.239 soon pass, But month after month, different symptoms popped up. 0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:24.920 She was uncomfortable, swollen, gaining weight. 0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:26.120 She didn't like it. 0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:30.920 One day, she started feeling incredible pains in her stomach area. 0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:33.240 She tried to endure it, thinking that it would pass, 0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:36.800 but kept getting worse and worse, and finally she couldn't 0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:40.479 take it any longer. In excruciating pain, she had her 0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:42.640 husband rush her to the emergency room. 0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:45.200 The doctor examined her. 0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:49.520 Said, I know exactly what's wrong. Ninety minutes later he 0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:53.879 handed her her new baby boy. She was pregnant and 0:24:53.960 --> 0:25:00.119 didn't know it. All those symptoms she was feeling, the pain, discomfort, nausey. 0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:03.960 There was a purpose for it. A change was taking place. 0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:07.800 She was about to give birth. Many times like her, 0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:10.080 we're pregnant and we don't know it. 0:25:10.920 --> 0:25:14.360 All we can feel is the pain. God, I'm uncomfortable. 0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:17.840 The pain is a sign you're about to give birth. 0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:22.760 If you'll stay in faith, eventually the pain will pass. 0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:26.720 You'll give birth to new strength, new talent, new ministry, 0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:31.560 new charity, new friendships, a new level. The pain is 0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:35.920 for a purpose, A change is taking place. When you're 0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:39.080 in a difficult time, don't focus on the pain. Focus 0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:41.840 on the fact that a new level is coming. The 0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:46.280 scripture says Jesus endured the pain of the Cross looking 0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:48.919 forward to the joy that was set before him. 0:25:49.480 --> 0:25:51.920 If you only focus on where you are on the pain, 0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:56.760 you'll get negative. Have a new perspective, the right perspective. God. 0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:59.639 I don't like this situation, but I know this pain 0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:00.840 is not here to stop me. 0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:02.119 It's here to promote me. 0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:05.600 It's a sign I'm about to give birth to something new. 0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:08.800 That's what my friends Craig and Samantha did. 0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:11.680 Craig, at the time, was the head of our children's 0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:15.800 ministry at Lakewood. They had two beautiful children. Samantha was 0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:20.000 expecting the third child. When little Connor was born, they 0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:21.560 soon realized something. 0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:22.400 Wasn't quite right. 0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:27.320 He wasn't talking, developing as fast as other children. Connor 0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:31.560 was diagnosed with autism. And while they loved Connor just 0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:34.480 as much, of course, they were a little taken aback 0:26:34.520 --> 0:26:37.920 by it. It's not what they were expecting. But Craig 0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:41.800 and Samantha understand this principle. They didn't put a question 0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:45.640 mark where God put a period. They knew the reason 0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:48.320 they had Connor was because. 0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:50.680 God could trust them. They didn't waste their pain. 0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:54.280 Craig told me how at that time we didn't have 0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:57.800 any classes for special needs children here at the church. 0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:01.639 Many parents couldn't attend them main service like this because 0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:05.359 their children needed constant attention. He said, Joel, why don't 0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:08.919 we start a special needs class for these children. We 0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:12.840 can call it the Champions Club. In that time of pain, 0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:16.520 Craig recognized he was pregnant. He was about to give 0:27:16.520 --> 0:27:20.119 birth to something new. We started our Champions Club. The 0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:23.480 first few months, three hundred new families joined the church. 0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:27.200 Other churches heard about it. 0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:31.000 Craig helped them launch their own special needs class. Today, 0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:35.480 there are over thirty Champions Clubs in seven different nations. 0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:40.600 Around the world. Here's what I'm saying. When it's painful, 0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:44.840 don't get discouraged. Get ready. You're about to give birth. 0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:48.440 That discomforts your feeling. It's not just a random pain. 0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:52.280 Those are birth pains. There's a blessing in that pain. 0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:55.080 There's a gift in that pain. There's a ministry in 0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:57.520 the pain. There's a new level in that pain. Don't 0:27:57.520 --> 0:28:00.760 waste it. Do like Craig, be on the lookout. Look 0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:05.000 for opportunities. You can encourage somebody else. Can God trust 0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:07.919 you with that pain? Will you get negative, bitter or 0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:10.600 will you say God, I don't understand it, but I 0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:14.600 know there's a purpose for this pain. Remember, God has 0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:16.280 his hand on the thermostat. 0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:19.040 If it was too much, he would have cut back 0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:21.960 the heat. Don't just go through it, grow through it. 0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:26.080 If you'll do this, I believe and declare, your pain 0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:29.320 is about to be turned into your gain. You're gonna 0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:33.040 come out stronger, increase, promoted, new levels out of that pain. 0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:35.960 It's going to birth you into the fullness of your 0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:37.880 destiny in Jesus's name. 0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:40.720 If you receive it today, can you say amen? 0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:46.000 We never like to close our broadcast without giving you 0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:48.800 an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:50.200 Would you pray with me? 0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:55.840 Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:59.440 into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:02.440 Friends, if you've prayed that simple. 0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:05.080 Prayer, we believe you got born again.
