different trials, tribulations,knowing this, that the trial of
your faith work a patient, butlet patient have her perfect
word that you may be perfect andcare won't enough.
If any of you like wisdom, lethim ask of God.
They give it to all menliberally and upgrade it not and
(01:51):
it shall be giving him.
Oh James, the apostle James, theyoungest of all the apostles,
at the age of 17, learned thekey ingredient to his ministry
understanding the timing of God.
Now, everything we go through,you can see where it looks like.
(02:13):
Timing is the most essentialpart of every test.
Why?
Because it teaches you how toguard your emotions, how to
master your emotion.
When you got to, count it alljoy, all things work together
for the good of those that lovethe Lord, calling coin to his
divine purpose.
Now the apostle James here he'steaching us through his own
(02:38):
eyes, his own trials, testing.
He said count it all joy.
The apostle James, everything hewas going through in his
ministry, his family, his life,he's saying count it all joy
when you fall into situations itlooks unbearable, it becomes
unpredictable.
He said count it all joy.
(02:59):
Take this moment, no matterwhat you're going through, even
what you may never understand,take on the attitude of joy.
Well, prophets don't feel joy.
There's no test filled joy.
There's not a trial.
They feel joyful.
It's not a valley they walkthrough to feel joyful.
But I've got to learn how torejoice even in the face of all
(03:22):
adversities and calamities allaround.
I've got to learn how to takeon the attitude, the positive
mindset.
Thank you, though he slayed me.
Yet when I trust you and I amthis bits of affliction, I'm
going to rise to the occasionand seize the moment for the
(03:44):
miracles of Jesus to work in mylife.
Well, I don't know about you,but there is times when I saw
Lord.
Am I going to come through thisor am I going to come out of
this?
And you know what?
Every single time when I lookto one way, god comes another
way.
When I wasn't expecting it tobe as big as it was, all of a
(04:05):
sudden God came down and showhimself that he is a God, or
more than enough.
I want you to know, ladies andgentlemen, right now, everything
you're going through is workingto benefit your spiritual
growth, producing knowledge andwisdom in you, advancing you in
the kingdom.
Well, you said it doesn't feelgood.
(04:26):
Nothing we go through feel good.
Sickness, do not feel good.
Pain do not feel good.
Hard age, disappointment,broken relationship, robber,
promotion, robber that positionthat you know should be yours.
So there's so many things youcan analyze and look at and have
(04:50):
an excuse not to go for it.
But we're in this march offaith.
That's why this TV program isto help build faith in you, help
you get to the place of sayingyou know what, lord, I'm a count
of Lord, joy, my body's rightbeen pained.
I'm not speaking negative but,lord, I'm a rejoice caused by
(05:14):
your stripes.
I am healed.
I'm not going to bedisappointed because of that.
Paying said work out the way Iwant it to work out or the way I
pre-just it with thepre-moderation in my own eyes,
I'm going to realize this.
What did the word of God say?
Well, the apostle James isserving of God.
He said count of all joy,brother, when you are going to
(05:39):
different trials that you don'tunderstand, different things
that you're facing that you maynot understand, because one
thing about it God will make itwork for your good.
He'll turn that calamity aroundand make it to be a promotion
for you.
He knows you're down setting,he knows you're uprising, and I
want you to know that anytimeGod is going to move, anytime
(06:01):
you want to call upon the nameof the Lord, you can do so.
If you need special prayers,call that toll free number at
the bottom of the screen Someonestanding by to pray with you
and believe God for you rightnow, right now, not tomorrow.
He's a right now God.
So what are you waiting for?
Pick up that phone, down thattoll free number, someone
(06:24):
standing by to take your prayerrequest and pray for you and
pray with you.
When, in Romans, chapter five,therefore being justified by
faith, we have peace with Godthrough our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom also we have access byfaith into the grace wherein we
stand and rejoice in hope of theglory of God, not only so, but
(06:46):
we glory in tribulation, oh myGod.
Not only so, but we glory intribulation, knowing that
tribulation.
Work with patience, andpatience and experience hope.
Look at that and hope.
Make it not ashamed, becausethe love of God is shed a broad
in our hearts by the Holy Ghostwhich is given unto us.
Look what he's saying.
(07:07):
The Apostle Paul was saying inthe book of Romans to the Roman
believer he's saying listen, butwe glory in tribulation.
Knowing that tribulation, workwith patience and patience and
experience hope.
We glory in tribulation.
Oh, my God, I know what you'rethinking right now.
What kind of character andmanner God was the Apostle Paul?
(07:30):
Well, down the road, damascus,out chapter nine, he has an
encounter with God.
And this is what I'm saying toyou.
You have to understand thateverything that God does is sin
around.
Count it all joy.
Well, you don't have thefinances that you want.
Count it all joy.
(07:50):
Believe God for bigger doors.
Believe God for great airincrease.
Believe God, trust him, eventhough at times you cannot trace
him.
Trust him, take him at his word.
Now, two examples are twodifferent ministries here the
Apostle Paul and the ApostleJames.
The Apostle James is sayingwhen you fall into
(08:12):
divergentation, don't let itdefeat you, don't let mistakes
that we often make become thebit of our failure.
In other words, learn fromthose mistakes, learn from those
lessons of life and get back onyour feet and pursue and get
(08:33):
back everything that God said isyours.
I prophesied that today You'rewatching this broadcast for a
reason because you need to belifted up in your spirit and God
is telling me to tell you Countit all joy, count all joy.
Listen, they said hope, make itnot a shame, because the love
of God is the growing of heartsby the Holy Ghost.
(08:53):
Hope comes from the experienceand that experience was birthed
by patience, and patience camebecause of things that you had
to endure, things that you hadto face.
And I'm telling you there'stimes that in our lives where we
feel like God has forsaken us.
(09:13):
We feel like God, what's goingon?
You begin to second guess God'splan for your life.
You begin to doubt the rest ofme that God said is yours.
You begin to get into aself-pity part.
You find yourself like theprophets of old.
You're under a jewellery andyou're wishing to die.
And then all of a sudden you'relike oh God, I'm going to die.
(09:35):
You think you're the only one.
You have that me and myselfsyndrome, but the fact of the
matter is you're not the onlyone going through a test.
You're not the only one that'son a mountain.
You're not the only one that'sgone through a valley.
That's the beauty ofrelationship Learning from one
another.
Learn life lesson throughsomeone else that's already been
(09:56):
through that done that came outwith victory and counted joy.
See, when you count a joy, youletting your devil know, you
letting yourself know, you knowwhat.
I have a good reason to quit,but I've got more reason to keep
going.
I've got reason to quit throwin the towel, it's over, but
(10:17):
I've got more reason to hang onto the horns of the artist of
God.
I've got more reason to havestick, ability and trust God
with my future, because I'vealready experienced some mean
disappointment in my past,failures in my past.
But I've turned those failuresof your past, that's turned them
(10:38):
into your tomorrow, platformsof victory.
Count it all joy, oh my God.
As I was saying earlier, we'retalking about two different
ministries, two differentcharacters, but both of them is
saying Count it all joy.
The apostle Paul, down the roadto the mask and thinking he was
doing the will of God,prosecuting the Christians, had
(11:01):
the wrong intention but thinkinghe had the right intentions.
But God got his undividedattention down the road to mask
and the light from heaven shutdown and gave him the ability to
see the right way.
And, ladies and gentlemen, Iwant you to know God will open
your eyes of understanding.
He will give you wisdom andknowledge he will bring you
(11:22):
forth with divine clarity.
Well, you said how can Irejoice?
I just lost a loved one.
How do I rejoice?
Because our names are writtenin the book of life.
The life I live is not the lifethat you see.
As the apostle Paul said, I putoff this old tabernacle.
(11:44):
Why?
Because this is just bars ofbones of house to flesh.
The real us is the spirit, andone day it's a point to man to
die in the judgment of God.
But while we have our livinghere on this earth, we will be
tested, we will be tried.
We will have prosperity, timesof success in our business, our
(12:07):
ministry, our family.
Then it's going to be times ofbrokenness, times of separation,
times of weeping.
You know, it's a time to laugh,it's a time to dance, time to
rejoice, time to mourn.
Now, all of that allows you tosee that you're a human and you
have need of someone who hasmore power and strength than you
(12:28):
do.
So when you go through thestorms of life, lean on the
anchor that holds.
Now, I don't know how manytimes your cells are being
ripped and torn.
The anchor holds.
In spite of every storm thatyou may ever encounter.
Don't give up on the break ofyour miracle.
Well, I'm so glad to be able toshare this with you today.
(12:48):
We're talking about counting itall joy.
We have grace.
Grace enabled me to stand thetest.
Grace enabled me to standbefore my giants, and though the
giants look way taller than Ido, the giants look fearful, but
(13:09):
I'm not operating in fear.
I'm operating in the mind ofChrist, the spirit of the
anointing one.
I'm operating in theunderstanding.
No matter what I encounter, nomatter what you go through, you
don't have to give up on theverge of a miracle.
You don't have to throw in thetowel just yet.
Hold on, hold out.
I'm igniting faith in you tobelieve for the impossible.
(13:34):
The Apostle James said brother,when you fall, that means there
will be a time of vulnerability.
There will be a time that youfeel crushed.
There will be a timedisappointment come.
We don't have all those answers,but the answer is we do know,
we apply them, we teach you howto have faith, because we have
(13:55):
weathered a lot of storms,ladies and gentlemen, a lot of
storms over 37 years of ministry.
We have weathered a lot ofstorms and we're still standing.
Thank you, lord, in His name.
We're counting it all Join.
Oh my God.
So many things that I've beentesting, going through mistakes
(14:16):
I've made going ahead of Godlike behind.
But I've always found thatmoment All right.
I can't change it, god you can.
I can't fix it, god you can.
So my attitude determines myaltitude.
If I'm gonna come out of this,I'm gonna count on all joy.
(14:38):
You may feel like everything inyour life is incarcerated.
You may feel like you're backus up against the wall.
There's no way out.
You may feel hopeless and to apit of despair.
Get up again.
Raise up again.
Climb one more time.
Climb, get up one more timebecause I guarantee you, when
(15:00):
you start moving forward, in themiddle of what you go through,
you'll find God will become morereal in your life.
You'll find the God of Abraham,isaac and Jacob, the God that
say you know what?
I'm not gonna leave you in themiddle of this trial.
I'm not gonna forsake youbecause you have a moment of
grief or doubt.
I'm not gonna leave you becauseyou doubt my word.
(15:22):
See, a lot of people.
They wanna just be sojudgmental and cruel.
Now, every one of us had doubtat one time or another, even
down in Thomas.
He said I won't I believe thatuntil I see the NL Prince in his
hands.
All the other apostles he cameto.
He revealed himself to him andthey said Thomas, jesus is
(15:43):
resurrected, he's alive.
He said I'm not gonna believethat unless I see the NL Prince
in his hands.
Then all of a sudden Jesusshows up and he says look into
my hands.
Blessed are those who have notseen but yet have believed
Thomas.
See, thomas, the reason why hehad honest doubts?
(16:04):
Because he saw the crucifixionright before he very own eyes.
He saw his master and lordcrucify Calvary.
So any hope that redemption isgonna take place seemed hopeless
and it was over with.
But the moment that Jesus saidit was finished was not saying
(16:25):
it's over.
I'm counting the whole joy.
I came to my own, my ownreceiving not Got whipped with a
cat of nine tails, beer pluckedout, crowns of thorns to munt
me as the king of kings.
But no matter what, he countedall joy because he said not my
will be done, but that will bedone.
(16:47):
Listen, ladies and gentlemen,patience comes and it's birth
out of what you go through.
So think about this.
One of the fruits of the spiritis patience.
So the next time the Emmy is sopressing you, trying to call
her she to quit, or trying tomake you feel like you're not
good enough.
(17:08):
You done, you messed up.
What have you now?
Tell the devil?
He's a liar.
And you turn this around.
You and God.
You take the first step, he'lltake the next step.
You begin to lift your hands.
We've been being dirt for thenight Psalm 35,.
But joy come within the morning.
And when you go through those,listen to what the apostle Paul
(17:29):
said.
We glory in tribulations.
We glorify God in a midst ofwhat the devil man from harm.
God's going to turn around forour good.
Oh my God, keeping the attitudecentered upon the cross,
speaking metaphorically, as aplace of deliverance.
(17:49):
There's hope that make it not ashame, but it's one.
It is there, I brought in ourhearts by the Holy Ghost, which
is giving them to us.
There's no shame in goingthrough a trial, a test or a
(18:10):
self-inflicted wound, not thatwe want to.
Even with a self-inflictedwound, the woman who had a blood
disease for 12 years and markedchapter five was a step.
She brought that on her ownself a self-inflicted wound, but
God was so merciful, full ofgrace, that he wanted her to
understand.
Count this joy, no matter whatyou go through in life, cause it
(18:36):
can work for your good if youare turned over to the Lord
Jesus Christ.
I expect God to intervene,expect God to be real and watch
how God changed the outlook ofyour own life.
Two greater samples and assumingmore in the word of God.
This is the bill you to a placethat calls what Tribulation
(18:57):
work at patience.
So if you're always in thehurry like this, there's some
tribulation coming.
Not speaking negative orprophesying, but listen, I've
learned, you gotta wait on theLord, isaiah 1431,.
But they, the way to put a law,shall renew that strength.
They shall mount up a wings ofego.
They shall run and not be weary.
They shall walk, and not what.
(19:19):
Run and not be weary, walk andnot faint.
Why?
Because you are approaching thesituation not in the eyes of
defeat but the eyes of victory.
I'm not defeated If I get back.
I'm on defeated If I close myarms and give up, surrender the
(19:42):
fight to the enemy.
You are a champion of faith.
You are not what the enemy saysyou are.
You are what God says you areand you're gonna do and
accomplish everything that Godsays you can cause.
I believe in you.
Jesus believes in you and thisword enables me to stand when I
(20:03):
don't know nothing else to do.
If he's your chapter says I'mgoing to stand and be victorious
.
Why?
Because I know that God isfaithful.
I know that God is a just Godand no matter what you may be
going through today, first andforemost, take God and his word.
Take him in his word.
(20:24):
Second of all, analyze whatyou're going through in the eyes
of faith.
See it like God sees.
God already sees you overcome.
He already sees you victorious.
Let's see Torrey's disciple.
Let us cross over.
Storm came, the boat began tofill the water.
Disciple was when the waterbegan to fill the boat.
(20:46):
They were operating.
The word of the fear came onthem, but Jesus rebuked the
winds and the waves and saidpeace, be still.
Oh, you're a little faint.
Count it joy because you'recrossing over.
Let's hope and believe in thatfaith and trust in it and that
victory on the other side ofthis storm.
(21:07):
There is victory on the otherside of this test.
There's a victory on the otherside of this valley.
Whatever you're going throughtoday, rejoice.
And when you're on the mountain, rejoice, because every
mountain that's a valley behindit, every valley that's a
mountain in front of it.
You need to understand.
God trains us and his discipledoes, and let patient have her
(21:30):
perfect work in your life.
Don't be in a hurry.
Wait on the Lord, cause whenyou wait on him you are renewing
your strength and ability tostand against all odds.
That's pounding up against you,and the next time the enemy
wants to discourage you, shakeit off.
Shake the devil off In the nameof Jesus.
(21:50):
Stay in the word of God, stayin prayer, stay in fashion, stay
in your covenant commitmentwith God.
Well, I want to pray for youright now that God would
encourage you, build your faith.

I'm not speaking negative but,lord, I'm a rejoice caused by
(05:14):
your stripes.
I am healed.
I'm not going to bedisappointed because of that.
Paying said work out the way Iwant it to work out or the way I
pre-just it with thepre-moderation in my own eyes,
I'm going to realize this.
What did the word of God say?
Well, the apostle James isserving of God.
He said count of all joy,brother, when you are going to
(05:39):
different trials that you don'tunderstand, different things
that you're facing that you maynot understand, because one
thing about it God will make itwork for your good.
He'll turn that calamity aroundand make it to be a promotion
for you.
He knows you're down setting,he knows you're uprising, and I
want you to know that anytimeGod is going to move, anytime
(06:01):
you want to call upon the nameof the Lord, you can do so.
If you need special prayers,call that toll free number at
the bottom of the screen Someonestanding by to pray with you
and believe God for you rightnow, right now, not tomorrow.
He's a right now God.
So what are you waiting for?
Pick up that phone, down thattoll free number, someone
(06:24):
standing by to take your prayerrequest and pray for you and
pray with you.
When, in Romans, chapter five,therefore being justified by
faith, we have peace with Godthrough our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom also we have access byfaith into the grace wherein we
stand and rejoice in hope of theglory of God, not only so, but
(06:46):
we glory in tribulation, oh myGod.
Not only so, but we glory intribulation, knowing that
tribulation.
Work with patience, andpatience and experience hope.
Look at that and hope.
Make it not ashamed, becausethe love of God is shed a broad
in our hearts by the Holy Ghostwhich is given unto us.
Look what he's saying.
(07:07):
The Apostle Paul was saying inthe book of Romans to the Roman
believer he's saying listen, butwe glory in tribulation.
Knowing that tribulation, workwith patience and patience and
experience hope.
We glory in tribulation.
Oh, my God, I know what you'rethinking right now.
What kind of character andmanner God was the Apostle Paul?
(07:30):
Well, down the road, damascus,out chapter nine, he has an
encounter with God.
And this is what I'm saying toyou.
You have to understand thateverything that God does is sin
around.
Count it all joy.
Well, you don't have thefinances that you want.
Count it all joy.
(07:50):
Believe God for bigger doors.
Believe God for great airincrease.
Believe God, trust him, eventhough at times you cannot trace
him.
Trust him, take him at his word.
Now, two examples are twodifferent ministries here the
Apostle Paul and the ApostleJames.
The Apostle James is sayingwhen you fall into
(08:12):
divergentation, don't let itdefeat you, don't let mistakes
that we often make become thebit of our failure.
In other words, learn fromthose mistakes, learn from those
lessons of life and get back onyour feet and pursue and get
(08:33):
back everything that God said isyours.
I prophesied that today You'rewatching this broadcast for a
reason because you need to belifted up in your spirit and God
is telling me to tell you Countit all joy, count all joy.
Listen, they said hope, make itnot a shame, because the love
of God is the growing of heartsby the Holy Ghost.
(08:53):
Hope comes from the experienceand that experience was birthed
by patience, and patience camebecause of things that you had
to endure, things that you hadto face.
And I'm telling you there'stimes that in our lives where we
feel like God has forsaken us.
(09:13):
We feel like God, what's goingon?
You begin to second guess God'splan for your life.
You begin to doubt the rest ofme that God said is yours.
You begin to get into aself-pity part.
You find yourself like theprophets of old.
You're under a jewellery andyou're wishing to die.
And then all of a sudden you'relike oh God, I'm going to die.
(09:35):
You think you're the only one.
You have that me and myselfsyndrome, but the fact of the
matter is you're not the onlyone going through a test.
You're not the only one that'son a mountain.
You're not the only one that'sgone through a valley.
That's the beauty ofrelationship Learning from one
another.
Learn life lesson throughsomeone else that's already been
(09:56):
through that done that came outwith victory and counted joy.
See, when you count a joy, youletting your devil know, you
letting yourself know, you knowwhat.
I have a good reason to quit,but I've got more reason to keep
going.
I've got reason to quit throwin the towel, it's over, but
(10:17):
I've got more reason to hang onto the horns of the artist of
God.
I've got more reason to havestick, ability and trust God
with my future, because I'vealready experienced some mean
disappointment in my past,failures in my past.
But I've turned those failuresof your past, that's turned them
(10:38):
into your tomorrow, platformsof victory.
Count it all joy, oh my God.
As I was saying earlier, we'retalking about two different
ministries, two differentcharacters, but both of them is
saying Count it all joy.
The apostle Paul, down the roadto the mask and thinking he was
doing the will of God,prosecuting the Christians, had
(11:01):
the wrong intention but thinkinghe had the right intentions.
But God got his undividedattention down the road to mask
and the light from heaven shutdown and gave him the ability to
see the right way.
And, ladies and gentlemen, Iwant you to know God will open
your eyes of understanding.
He will give you wisdom andknowledge he will bring you
(11:22):
forth with divine clarity.
Well, you said how can Irejoice?
I just lost a loved one.
How do I rejoice?
Because our names are writtenin the book of life.
The life I live is not the lifethat you see.
As the apostle Paul said, I putoff this old tabernacle.
(11:44):
Why?
Because this is just bars ofbones of house to flesh.
The real us is the spirit, andone day it's a point to man to
die in the judgment of God.
But while we have our livinghere on this earth, we will be
tested, we will be tried.
We will have prosperity, timesof success in our business, our
(12:07):
ministry, our family.
Then it's going to be times ofbrokenness, times of separation,
times of weeping.
You know, it's a time to laugh,it's a time to dance, time to
rejoice, time to mourn.
Now, all of that allows you tosee that you're a human and you
have need of someone who hasmore power and strength than you
(12:28):
do.
So when you go through thestorms of life, lean on the
anchor that holds.
Now, I don't know how manytimes your cells are being
ripped and torn.
The anchor holds.
In spite of every storm thatyou may ever encounter.
Don't give up on the break ofyour miracle.
Well, I'm so glad to be able toshare this with you today.
(12:48):
We're talking about counting itall joy.
We have grace.
Grace enabled me to stand thetest.
Grace enabled me to standbefore my giants, and though the
giants look way taller than Ido, the giants look fearful, but
(13:09):
I'm not operating in fear.
I'm operating in the mind ofChrist, the spirit of the
anointing one.
I'm operating in theunderstanding.
No matter what I encounter, nomatter what you go through, you
don't have to give up on theverge of a miracle.
You don't have to throw in thetowel just yet.
Hold on, hold out.
I'm igniting faith in you tobelieve for the impossible.
(13:34):
The Apostle James said brother,when you fall, that means there
will be a time of vulnerability.
There will be a time that youfeel crushed.
There will be a timedisappointment come.
We don't have all those answers,but the answer is we do know,
we apply them, we teach you howto have faith, because we have
(13:55):
weathered a lot of storms,ladies and gentlemen, a lot of
storms over 37 years of ministry.
We have weathered a lot ofstorms and we're still standing.
Thank you, lord, in His name.
We're counting it all Join.
Oh my God.
So many things that I've beentesting, going through mistakes
(14:16):
I've made going ahead of Godlike behind.
But I've always found thatmoment All right.
I can't change it, god you can.
I can't fix it, god you can.
So my attitude determines myaltitude.
If I'm gonna come out of this,I'm gonna count on all joy.
(14:38):
You may feel like everything inyour life is incarcerated.
You may feel like you're backus up against the wall.
There's no way out.
You may feel hopeless and to apit of despair.
Get up again.
Raise up again.
Climb one more time.
Climb, get up one more timebecause I guarantee you, when
(15:00):
you start moving forward, in themiddle of what you go through,
you'll find God will become morereal in your life.
You'll find the God of Abraham,isaac and Jacob, the God that
say you know what?
I'm not gonna leave you in themiddle of this trial.
I'm not gonna forsake youbecause you have a moment of
grief or doubt.
I'm not gonna leave you becauseyou doubt my word.
(15:22):
See, a lot of people.
They wanna just be sojudgmental and cruel.
Now, every one of us had doubtat one time or another, even
down in Thomas.
He said I won't I believe thatuntil I see the NL Prince in his
hands.
All the other apostles he cameto.
He revealed himself to him andthey said Thomas, jesus is
(15:43):
resurrected, he's alive.
He said I'm not gonna believethat unless I see the NL Prince
in his hands.
Then all of a sudden Jesusshows up and he says look into
my hands.
Blessed are those who have notseen but yet have believed
Thomas.
See, thomas, the reason why hehad honest doubts?
(16:04):
Because he saw the crucifixionright before he very own eyes.
He saw his master and lordcrucify Calvary.
So any hope that redemption isgonna take place seemed hopeless
and it was over with.
But the moment that Jesus saidit was finished was not saying
(16:25):
it's over.
I'm counting the whole joy.
I came to my own, my ownreceiving not Got whipped with a
cat of nine tails, beer pluckedout, crowns of thorns to munt
me as the king of kings.
But no matter what, he countedall joy because he said not my
will be done, but that will bedone.
(16:47):
Listen, ladies and gentlemen,patience comes and it's birth
out of what you go through.
So think about this.
One of the fruits of the spiritis patience.
So the next time the Emmy is sopressing you, trying to call
her she to quit, or trying tomake you feel like you're not
good enough.
(17:08):
You done, you messed up.
What have you now?
Tell the devil?
He's a liar.
And you turn this around.
You and God.
You take the first step, he'lltake the next step.
You begin to lift your hands.
We've been being dirt for thenight Psalm 35,.
But joy come within the morning.
And when you go through those,listen to what the apostle Paul
(17:29):
said.
We glory in tribulations.
We glorify God in a midst ofwhat the devil man from harm.
God's going to turn around forour good.
Oh my God, keeping the attitudecentered upon the cross,
speaking metaphorically, as aplace of deliverance.
(17:49):
There's hope that make it not ashame, but it's one.
It is there, I brought in ourhearts by the Holy Ghost, which
is giving them to us.
There's no shame in goingthrough a trial, a test or a
(18:10):
self-inflicted wound, not thatwe want to.
Even with a self-inflictedwound, the woman who had a blood
disease for 12 years and markedchapter five was a step.
She brought that on her ownself a self-inflicted wound, but
God was so merciful, full ofgrace, that he wanted her to
understand.
Count this joy, no matter whatyou go through in life, cause it
(18:36):
can work for your good if youare turned over to the Lord
Jesus Christ.
I expect God to intervene,expect God to be real and watch
how God changed the outlook ofyour own life.
Two greater samples and assumingmore in the word of God.
This is the bill you to a placethat calls what Tribulation
(18:57):
work at patience.
So if you're always in thehurry like this, there's some
tribulation coming.
Not speaking negative orprophesying, but listen, I've
learned, you gotta wait on theLord, isaiah 1431,.
But they, the way to put a law,shall renew that strength.
They shall mount up a wings ofego.
They shall run and not be weary.
They shall walk, and not what.
(19:19):
Run and not be weary, walk andnot faint.
Why?
Because you are approaching thesituation not in the eyes of
defeat but the eyes of victory.
I'm not defeated If I get back.
I'm on defeated If I close myarms and give up, surrender the
(19:42):
fight to the enemy.
You are a champion of faith.
You are not what the enemy saysyou are.
You are what God says you areand you're gonna do and
accomplish everything that Godsays you can cause.
I believe in you.
Jesus believes in you and thisword enables me to stand when I
(20:03):
don't know nothing else to do.
If he's your chapter says I'mgoing to stand and be victorious
.
Why?
Because I know that God isfaithful.
I know that God is a just Godand no matter what you may be
going through today, first andforemost, take God and his word.
Take him in his word.
(20:24):
Second of all, analyze whatyou're going through in the eyes
of faith.
See it like God sees.
God already sees you overcome.
He already sees you victorious.
Let's see Torrey's disciple.
Let us cross over.
Storm came, the boat began tofill the water.
Disciple was when the waterbegan to fill the boat.
(20:46):
They were operating.
The word of the fear came onthem, but Jesus rebuked the
winds and the waves and saidpeace, be still.
Oh, you're a little faint.
Count it joy because you'recrossing over.
Let's hope and believe in thatfaith and trust in it and that
victory on the other side ofthis storm.
(21:07):
There is victory on the otherside of this test.
There's a victory on the otherside of this valley.
Whatever you're going throughtoday, rejoice.
And when you're on the mountain, rejoice, because every
mountain that's a valley behindit, every valley that's a
mountain in front of it.
You need to understand.
God trains us and his discipledoes, and let patient have her
(21:30):
perfect work in your life.
Don't be in a hurry.
Wait on the Lord, cause whenyou wait on him you are renewing
your strength and ability tostand against all odds.
That's pounding up against you,and the next time the enemy
wants to discourage you, shakeit off.
Shake the devil off In the nameof Jesus.
(21:50):
Stay in the word of God, stayin prayer, stay in fashion, stay
in your covenant commitmentwith God.
Well, I want to pray for youright now that God would
encourage you, build your faith.
I hope you enjoy this broadcast.
Listen, this is to help you, tostrengthen, encourage you and,
whatever you're going through,don't be embarrassed or ashamed.
(22:12):
It's good, because you have torealize you're not the only one
that's been knocked down.
The key is get back up.
Get back up, fight this fightof faith.
Don't throw in the towel.
There's a miracle with yourname on it.
That's a breakthrough with yourname on you and your household,
