00:13 Welcome back!
00:14 Like I said before we went on break is that I have a 00:16 crush on God, I love watching Him take the worse cases, 00:19 bringing them up, and those people when they stand in 00:22 Ministry the first time you are used. 00:23 The first time somebody's life changes because of 00:26 something you shared that God did for you, you want 00:29 to stand up and say, did you just see that? 00:31 I'm like all of heaven, did you see that? 00:34 Did you just see that they actually gave their life 00:36 to God, they actually change, the actually came out of 00:38 all that junk, they came out of drug abuse or having 00:42 affairs or they repented about their porn addiction. 00:44 You are a part of that and you want to celebrate, 00:46 you want to go sell someone and God just says, 00:49 the rest of the life you are going to do 00:50 this kind of stuff. 00:52 It is very cool. 00:53 C. A. it just makes me proud of who God is. 00:55 C. A. yeah, it really is. 00:57 We had that text before that talked about all of 00:59 the sins and the things that infect and infest God's 01:03 people and how they can over comers. 01:04 In John 16:33 "these things I have spoken unto you 01:07 that you may have peace. In the world you will have 01:11 tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have 01:13 overcome the world. " 01:14 You know a good homework assignment for you all may 01:17 be as you are watching these, look up the word overcome, 01:20 or over comers, but particularly in the New Testament. 01:23 And then write down all the things that God has 01:26 promised to those who overcome Cheri. 01:28 It will thrill your soul, for one, because if God 01:31 says there are over comers, that means 01:33 there will be over comers. 01:35 Two, that you can be an over comer and all the things 01:38 that over comers will get, God will give to you 01:41 as you overcome. 01:42 So let that be sort of your foundation, your homework 01:44 assignment as you watch these incredible shows and 01:47 listen to these incredible testimonies. 01:49 They will encourage you, but then take that to yourself, 01:52 it's not just them because the same God who is blessing 01:55 them can bless you. 01:56 The same God who is encouraging them, 01:58 will encourage you. 01:59 The same God who is saving them and using them, 02:01 will save and use you. 02:03 It is for the over comers, 02:04 and you too can be an over comer. 02:06 And what is really amazing to me is as you 02:09 overcome the first time, and a lot of people said that 02:12 on these programs, is the first time they felt joy. 02:15 It's like what is that, 02:16 it's like I'm feeling really good. 02:20 There is one, I can't remember who said it, 02:22 but I said when did you know you were doing good, 02:26 when did you know that it was okay? 02:27 They said one time I'm laying in bed with my wife 02:30 and I just started laughing out loud, then she started 02:33 laughing and it wasn't at anything that was twisted, 02:36 it was just that we were glad to be alive. 02:39 We are not high, we are not out running, we are not 02:42 cooking Meth or doing any of that kind of stuff. 02:44 Yeah it is incredible and that is what 02:46 God can do for us. 02:48 He can make us really brand-new and then give us, 02:51 you know it's a great thing, the greatest job in the 02:54 world is working with God saving souls. 02:56 And we see that this year, the underlying theme, 03:00 dare I say, is evangelism. 03:01 Once I get myself straight I go back and try to 03:04 get my fellows straight, and that is a great thing. 03:07 You know as you are looking at your own stuff, 03:10 as you are trying to figure out how God is going to 03:13 stand you up, don't try too hard on figuring that out. 03:16 You know C. A., when you said look up overcome, 03:19 look at all the promises, look at who He is, 03:21 look at the face of God, because God said to me years 03:25 after these opportunities opened up. 03:28 We are traveling all over the world doing Celebrating 03:31 Life in Recovery and writing books. 03:33 I love to do all that kind of stuff, He said if I 03:35 would have showed you that on day one, you would have 03:38 liked shut up, there is no way, I can't do that. 03:41 He said that sometimes His plans for us will scare us 03:44 to death and He said don't look at the plans, 03:46 don't look at who you are, don't look at what you're 03:48 going to do, look at who God is. 03:50 Open up the word of God, start learning to pray, 03:53 Check your self talk, who are you, and start telling yourself 03:57 you are who God says you are and let God 04:00 unfold how He is going to use you. 04:02 Don't figure it out yourself and until we start the 04:05 next season, and until the first show always remember 04:08 that God is crazy about you and me too! God bless! |
