I believe God has amazing things in your future. 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:53.560 I hope you enjoy this message. Can you imagine living 0:01:54.280 --> 0:02:00.720 in a big, beautiful house, all wired with electricity well, 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:06.000 able to run your refrigerator well, able to run your 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:10.880 air conditioning, all of your lights you can plug in, 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:16.080 all your small appliances, all the modern things that we have. 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.120 Can you imagine living in a home like that, but 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.520 not being able to run any of that stuff. It's 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:27.960 all wired with power and electricity. But you didn't go 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.040 out to the breaker box and flip on the switch. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:33.399 Wouldn't that be crazy? 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:39.000 I can't even imagine how they lived without power. It'd 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:43.280 be difficult to imagine because we have gotten so used 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:48.360 to having our appliances plugged in. Listen, I bet nobody 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.120 in here pretty much would go out of their house 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:52.840 without charging their phone, would they? 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:55.640 And I don't know if you're like me. 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.400 If my phone runs out of battery, I'm looking for 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:02.079 someone with a charger. I'm gonna plug into that power 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:03.440 because I don't want. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:07.079 To be disconnected. I want my phone fully charged. 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.440 It would be crazy to live without power when it's 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:15.280 available to you. But do you know so many people 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.600 are living in a house and they're never switching on 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:20.079 the power. 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:25.240 They're never switching on the breaker box. You see, God 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.880 has wired you with power. 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:36.280 You are fully wired with power, but you gotta turn 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.720 it on. How do we turn on this power? Listen 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.200 to what it says in Romans ten nine. Now you 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.640 have to understand this verse is so key to the 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.120 power of God in you. It not only tells you 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:55.160 how to get wired, but it tells. 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.040 You how to flow in the power. 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.720 It says, if you will declare with your mouth that 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.320 Jesus is Lord, and if you will believe with your 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.360 heart that God raised him from the dead, then you 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:15.320 will be saved. With the heart man believes, With the mouth, 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:24.000 man makes confessions unto righteousness. You see when you make 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.080 Jesus the lord of your life by saying, I believe 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:29.160 God sin his son. 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.359 He died on the cross for me. 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:37.040 He rose again on the third day so that I 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:38.440 can be free from sin. 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.599 That I am on my way to heaven. Guess what 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.120 happens you. 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:47.479 Go from a house a temple that has no wiring 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.200 to being fully wired. 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:58.240 You're fully wired. But to switch on that power that 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.159 is in you, it. 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:05.120 Says, it's with the heart man believes, and with the 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:06.480 mouth he confesses. 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:11.600 You see, that is the switch that turns on the power. 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.680 I talked to a man the other day and he 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.840 told me, Victoria, I've had seven strokes. The doctor has 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.800 found three lesioned areas on my brain. 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:23.120 He said. 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.000 I found myself walking with a cane. I could hardly 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.839 get around. He said, I'm a pastor of a church. 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:36.440 He said, I begin to realize my life is just powerless. 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:38.839 And I begin to say, God, what is going on? 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.520 Why do I deserve this? What is wrong? 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.000 And he said, Victoria, I felt in my heart and 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:49.320 I saw in the spirit. I felt like I saw 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:54.880 this sewage swirling around of thoughts. And I had been 0:05:55.080 --> 0:06:00.840 thinking this, these poisonous thoughts and confessing these poison his 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:02.920 thoughts about myself for so. 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.359 Long that it drained the power right out of me. 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.080 He said. It was just like a sewage of thoughts. 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:15.440 I had been so critical on myself. I'd been confessing 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:19.640 how I wasn't good enough, how you know I didn't 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.720 have the favor of God, that nothing goes right for me. 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:27.000 And he said that confession made me believe it. And 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.240 he said I had no power. He said, I found 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.839 serious exem one twenty eight, he said, and I begin 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.440 to listen to Joel. I begin to listen to the 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.960 word that he preached. I began to transition my thinking 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.080 little by little, he said. I stopped those negative words, 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.920 and I begin to confess and believe the right thing 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.479 over my life. He said, I'm not walking with the 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.159 cane anymore, Victoria. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.480 He said, I'm able to get around. 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.440 He said, now would I confess and now would I believe? 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.000 Are the promises of God? 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.440 You see, that man was fully wired. He just wasn't 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:10.560 using the power correctly. He wasn't flipping on the switch. 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.880 He wasn't believing in his heart and confessing out of 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.880 his mouth. Now, if I asked you today, do you 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.720 believe that Jesus Christ gave his life so. 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:23.680 That you could be saved? 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.600 Many of you, most of you would say yeah, I do. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.600 Let me tell you about it. Well, it was a 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.160 little girl, and it was when I was in Sunday school, 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.400 Or you would tell me when I was a young man, 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.560 I met God and he saved me. You could tell 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.040 me a beautiful testimony. I bet I couldn't talk you 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.880 out of being saved. In fact, if I tried, you'd 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.560 probably say, Victoria, just leave me alone. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.080 You know what, I am saved. 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.280 I am saved. We wouldn't let anybody talk us out 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:57.440 of that, would we? Why do we let our circumstances, 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:02.600 Why do we let discourage talk us out of believing 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:06.360 that God was to bless our life? Why do we 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.760 let what people say about us define us and tell 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.720 us that we don't have favor, We're not talented, we don't. 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.840 Hold great value. We wouldn't let anybody talk us. 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.640 Out of being saved, but will certainly let things talk 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.080 us out of our destiny, talk us out of the 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.920 good things God has for us. Why is that we 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.760 may be fully wired? Because that's what happened when you 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.120 gave your heart to Jesus. But you're not turning on 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.480 your breaker boxes. You're not confessing out of your mouth, 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.319 so you can believe in your heart. You see, when 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.200 a circumstance comes against. 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.120 You, you have to say no, uh uh. 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.920 God says this about me. He says, I'm fearfully and wonderfully. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:55.240 May when you start feeling sick. No, God is my healer, 0:08:56.000 --> 0:09:00.640 He's my redeemer, He's my pearl of great price. When 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:04.080 people are talking about you, when they're pressing you down, 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.319 no no, I don't listen to that, and I certainly 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.320 don't repeat what they say. I don't repeat what the 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.640 enemy says about me. I repeat what God says about me. 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.439 That's my confession, that's what I believe in my heart, 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.200 and I'm not gonna let anybody talk me out of it. 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:30.040 King David the Psalmist, David, King of Israel. God called 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.160 him a man after his own heart. God called him 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.560 a man after his own heart. But when you read 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.920 some of the Psalms, you see that David was susceptible 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:46.000 to discouragement. He was also susceptible to cutting off the 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.600 power instead of turning on the power. In Psalms forty 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.679 three and forty two, you can read his writings and 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.880 he begins to talk about his overwhelming feeling, his soul 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:01.040 ridged within him, the armies encamped around him on every side. 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.360 He begins to talk about all the problems that he has. 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.120 You continue to read, and all of a sudden, you 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:11.480 see a transition in his prayer. You see a turning, 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:17.040 and he stops and he challenges that discouraging voice. He 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.680 challenges those negative situations. 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:21.200 And he says this. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:26.360 He says, why is my soul so downcast? Why am 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.320 I so discouraged? 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.200 He's like, I'm a wired man. I'm gonna flip on 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:36.040 the switch. And then he begins to say, I'm gonna 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:37.040 put my hope in God. 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:41.400 I'm gonna trust in the God, my savior. I'm gonna 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.440 praise him. Yet again. 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:47.920 You see he turned on the power. 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:52.960 This is a man that's a man that served under God, 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:58.160 that God loved. I believe he is there to show 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:02.280 us that we can and go down the road of discouragement. 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:07.400 But we're fully powered up to charge our batteries, to 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:12.439 change our situation, to supersize our strength, to stand strong 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.480 against the power of the enemy. We have the power 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:20.000 in God. Jesus said, I'm going to heaven. He says, 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.400 I'm going to heaven, but I'm leaving you my power. 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:23.560 And then he. 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.480 Said, because you're gonna do greater works than I did. 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.920 Now I'll tell you I don't understand all the theology 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:30.679 in that. 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.080 But if God says I'm gonna do great works, I'm 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.920 gonna do great works. I'm gonna do great works. 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:45.640 Discouragement, negative self talk, it'll hold you prisoner, it'll hold 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.760 you captive. The only way you can break that chain, 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.480 the only way that you can break through that is 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.560 to begin to confess with your mouth and believe in 0:11:54.600 --> 0:12:00.560 your heart unto salvation, unto your righteousness. Because the enemy 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.960 doesn't want you to know who you are. He doesn't 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.400 want you to know what God says about you. He 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.600 wants you to hear what other people are saying. He 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.720 wants you to be dictated by your circumstances. Hey, your 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.320 bills are getting piling up and your finances are getting 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:14.800 a little old. 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.200 He wants you to so poor a poor God doesn't. 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.160 But you know what the Bible says. He says that 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:20.240 the poor say I'm rich. 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.360 He says, Let those people who are weak you begin 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.320 to say you're strong. Why Because it's a principle that's 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:32.000 been established by God.
