Thank [36:50] you, God, for filling us, church. Let's [36:52] just say thank you. Thank you, Lord. [36:54] Thank you for filling us. Thank you for [36:56] your spirit. Thank you for the work you [36:58] did on the cross. Thank you, God, for [37:01] forgiving my sin. Thank you, God, for [37:04] paying the ultimate sacrifice so that I [37:06] could be free. Thank you, Father. Thank [37:09] you, Jesus. [37:10] Church, in that same spirit, take out [37:12] your communion elements. [37:16] Let's have it ready. Ushers are passing [37:19] them out. If you need it, please raise [37:20] your hands. We make sure everybody has [37:22] it. If you do not, [37:25] over here. [37:28] Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. [37:32] Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. [37:38] For I pass on to you what I receive from [37:40] the Lord himself. On the night when he [37:43] was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some [37:45] bread and gave thanks to God for it. [37:48] Then he broke it in pieces and said, [37:49] "This is my body which is given for you. [37:53] Do this in remembrance of me." We do [37:56] this sometimes. Church, help me. Let's [37:58] break it in half. [38:01] This symbolizes what he did on the [38:04] cross. It reminds me of Galatians 2:20 [38:06] that we have been crucified with Christ [38:10] and I no longer live but he lives in me. [38:14] What he did with his body enabled you to [38:16] be here today and walk in freedom. What [38:19] he did on that cross enabled you to live [38:22] life abundantly and full. Amen. And we [38:26] we talked about this on Wendy and good [38:28] adult and I felt to share it. what that [38:30] did, what he did, that sacrifice. We're [38:33] called to revere it. We're called to [38:35] fear the Lord. We're called to be [38:37] obedient to the Lord. [38:40] >> We're called to die to ourselves just as [38:43] he did. So, as we're taking this bread [38:45] and we partake, I want you to think and [38:47] ponder on the fact that you get to be [38:49] crucified right there with him. All your [38:51] shame, all the sin, any wrongdoing that [38:53] you've ever done, we don't live in [38:55] condemnation. We don't live in guilt. [38:57] Why? because we get to be nailed with [38:59] him. Amen. So, let's take this bread. [39:04] >> Thank you, Jesus. [39:07] >> Thank you, Father. [39:08] >> It could have only been the bloodlord. [39:21] Thank you, Lord. [39:24] Verse [39:26] 25, it says, "In the same way he took [39:29] the cup of wine after supper, saying, [39:32] "This is the cup. This cup is the new [39:35] covenant between God and his people." [39:38] The new covenant between God and his [39:39] people. [39:41] >> An agreement confirmed with my blood. Do [39:43] this in remembrance of me as often as [39:46] you drink it. For every time you eat [39:49] this bread and drink this cup, you are [39:51] announcing the Lord's death until he [39:53] comes again. [39:55] >> Take the cup in your hand. [39:59] >> This is the ink with which the new [40:03] covenant between God and man was signed. [40:10] >> The blood is everything. [40:14] The writer in Hebrews said that the [40:16] blood of Jesus speaks better things than [40:18] the blood of Abel. The blood of Jesus [40:21] speaks for you. [40:23] >> In the courtroom [40:25] where you are completely guilty of every [40:27] sin you committed and they ask how you [40:30] plead, [40:32] the blood of Jesus steps forward on your [40:34] behalf and declares you free. It [40:38] declares you righteous. It declares you [40:41] made whole. The blood of Jesus covers [40:44] you. The blood of Jesus cleanses you, [40:48] baby. The blood of Jesus keeps you. [40:52] There's nothing like the blood [40:56] of Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. [40:59] >> There's nothing else. There's no [41:01] substitute. [41:02] There's no exchange. There's nothing [41:04] like the blood of Jesus. [41:09] So as we take this cup this morning, [41:14] you remember the covenant that was [41:16] signed in blood on your behalf. Let us [41:21] partake. [41:24] Hallelu. [41:27] I know it was the blood. It could have [41:31] only. [41:33] >> Come on church. Hallelu. [41:37] Thank you Jesus. [41:38] >> Hallelujah. [41:40] I know I know he was the one time we say [41:46] hallelujah. [41:48] Hallelu. [41:52] Hallelu. [41:56] I know it was the blood. It could have [42:00] only. [42:02] >> Anybody thankful this morning for the [42:04] blood? Am I thankful this morning? [42:12] >> Listen, I love 9:00 a.m. I Right. [42:15] >> Aren't they awesome? [42:15] >> I love 9:00 a.m. service. I love y'all. [42:17] Look at your neighbor and say, "I love [42:18] 9:00 a.m. [42:20] >> Something about 9:00 a.m. is just [42:22] special." They wake up early. Some of [42:24] y'all wake up at like 5:00 a.m. [42:25] throughout the week. Huh? I see it. I [42:27] see it in some of y'all. See, look. See, [42:29] I knew it. I knew it.

[44:10] >> Two people. That's it. [44:11] >> At least one new person though. [44:12] >> One new person will be great. Yes. [44:14] >> All right. [44:15] >> Just go up and say, "It's nice to see [44:17] you." And they're going to respond with, [44:18] "It's good to be seen." [44:20] >> It's nice to see you. It's good to be [44:21] seen. [44:27] Hey, [44:41] look at that. [45:00] Amen. [45:02] >> Amen. Well, good morning, new season. [45:06] It's good to see you. [45:08] >> It's good to be seen. [45:09] >> To God be the glory. Somebody give God a [45:11] praise for being seen in the house. [45:15] Amen. Hey, Pastor Lauren, real quick. I [45:19] I was driving the other day and I I had [45:21] just dropped my daughter off at school. [45:22] >> I have a question. When you drive, [45:24] >> do you put the seat as far as humanly [45:27] possible from the wheel? Cuz I feel like [45:29] if we would drive next to each other, [45:30] I'd be like like and then you'd be like [45:32] I would never be able to drive your car. [45:34] >> I was going to make the vertically [45:35] challenged joke, but I won't. You won't. [45:37] I won't. I won't. I won't. [45:38] >> I'm tall in spirit. See, [45:40] >> if you stand on your faith, you're right [45:42] up here with me. Amen. Amen. [45:43] >> Up top. Come on. [45:45] >> All right. [45:46] >> You saw that bully. But the Lord began [45:49] to speak to me, right? My my daughter, [45:50] she's always interested in making money [45:52] and starting a business. And one day [45:53] we're all going to work for her. I [45:54] promise. [45:55] >> Oh my gosh, I would love to work for [45:56] Bailey. [45:56] >> She'd be awesome. [45:57] >> Yes. [45:57] >> But she always asked me, "Dad, I want [45:59] some more money." And she already has a [46:01] bank account. She already said has [46:02] savings. And I'm like, "Baby girl, why [46:04] do you need more? Why? Why do you need [46:06] more?" Right? And what the Lord spoke to [46:08] me after I dropped her off, I was just [46:10] driving by myself. He said, "Often times [46:12] our relationships are the very same way [46:14] toward money. [46:15] >> We're always looking for more. But as [46:18] believers, we should be looking for [46:20] meaning. [46:20] >> Come on. [46:21] >> Not just more, but about meaning. You [46:23] all say this with me. Every dollar. [46:25] >> Every dollar [46:26] >> has purpose. [46:27] >> Has purpose. [46:28] >> Every dollar has a purpose. Some you [46:31] spend, some you save, and some you [46:34] surrender. [46:35] >> Come on. [46:35] >> You know what that's called? [46:37] Stewardship. [46:38] >> Yes. [46:39] >> But here's the beautiful thing. What [46:40] First Fruits teaches us is to take that [46:43] order and to flip it. Come on. [46:45] >> Instead of spin, save, surrender. We [46:48] surrender first. [46:49] >> Come on. [46:50] >> Then we save. [46:51] >> Yeah. [46:51] >> And then we spend. We don't give God [46:54] leftovers and expect overflow. [46:56] >> Right here. [46:58] >> Honor the Lord with your wealth, [47:00] >> with the first fruits of all your crops. [47:03] Then your barns will be filled to what? [47:06] >> Overflow. [47:06] >> Overflowing. Amen. Overflowing. [47:10] >> The part that you surrender is sacred. [47:13] Come on. [47:14] >> It's holy. [47:15] >> It's set apart. It belongs to him. Amen. [47:19] >> Yes. [47:20] >> Amen. To God be the glory. I That just [47:22] blessed my soul. [47:23] >> And I love that. And for some people, [47:24] surrender might look differently, right? [47:27] Some people, you might surrendering that [47:28] $8 coffee you're getting every single [47:30] morning, right? Mine is $8.50 cuz I got [47:34] the extra pumps and the cold foam. Some [47:36] of you might be surrendering something [47:38] greater. But that surrender will always [47:40] return to you. And we're seeing that [47:42] living right now active. I've been [47:43] sharing this entire year. Yeah. How [47:45] we've been saving and trying to purchase [47:47] a home. And if you've been in the in the [47:49] home purchasing business, it gets really [47:51] stressful. And the past two months have [47:52] been really tough. There have been some [47:54] really hard moments where we we're [47:56] looking like it's not working. Might get [47:57] denied. We have to go different places. [47:59] It's been really tough. What we have not [48:01] stopped doing is giving to the Lord. And [48:03] what I saw and I kid you not this I have [48:06] chills just speaking about it. Two weeks [48:07] ago, a lender denied us and I was really [48:10] upset and I told the Lord, I said, "God, [48:11] what are you doing?" And we were doing [48:12] the door series and I felt the Holy [48:14] Spirit tell me, "This is a closed door [48:16] because I'm going to open a better one." [48:18] And on that Saturday, Roseville, I gave [48:20] an offering. Okay? I gave a special [48:23] offering and I know I didn't have it. I [48:24] didn't even ask my husband first. And I [48:26] was just like, "Babe, I I'm doing this." [48:27] He was like, "Let's do it." I gave this [48:29] offering. 3 days later, we got another [48:32] lender saying, "You've been [48:33] conditionally approved." Come on. [48:34] >> So listen, that small right there, that [48:37] money that I gave that Saturday, that [48:39] was probably a coffee money. That was [48:41] probably to overfill my gas so I could [48:42] do some extra things, but I gave it in [48:44] service to the Lord. And guess what? [48:46] It's been returned to me. I'll be in [48:48] that house by the end of this month in [48:49] Jesus name. [48:50] >> Come on. You all stand to your feet with [48:52] us. [48:54] >> That's what I'm That's a press down, [48:55] shaken together, and running it over [48:57] type of blessing. I love [48:58] >> I love this. All right, we're going to [48:59] do this. This is I love this. And the [49:01] testimonies are brilliant. And [49:02] >> I love the chain. is so fly. He's just [49:04] so fly. I'm talking more. I like this. [49:06] >> I'm trying to get like you, man. You [49:07] know. [49:08] >> No, I got you. I got you. There's a [49:10] study that came out regarding the some [49:14] of the richest people on the planet on [49:16] the planet, the billionaires, right? The [49:18] billionaires. [49:20] By co-enk, [49:23] these billionaires have common factors. [49:27] One of them is what they would deem as [49:29] charitable contributions. [49:32] Now these are non-believers. The vast [49:34] majority are non-believers. There are a [49:35] couple of exceptions to the rule. They [49:38] all where do they get this from? The [49:40] bare minimum that they give out of what [49:43] comes in is 10%. [49:46] >> Wow. [49:47] >> Now what? [49:48] >> Where does that come from? [49:50] >> It's Bible. [49:51] >> Every money that comes in now some of [49:53] them go 20 30 40. The more they get the [49:55] more they give. [49:56] >> Yeah. because they found out the more [49:57] that you contribute for charity to to I [50:01] mean just to change the world with your [50:02] giving, the more somehow they get. [50:05] >> They're not even believers. And yet the [50:07] principle is so God ordained [50:09] >> that God will bless his principle, his [50:11] ordinance. [50:13] >> You're a non-believer. But but that [50:15] principle of sewing in into causes that [50:18] are way beyond you. [50:21] every single believer if the and there's [50:24] this wonderful conversation about [50:26] tithing and all that. I don't that the [50:30] idea that I'm going to limit to give God [50:32] 10%. I I will not put a lid on it. My [50:35] objective at before um be I'm going to [50:38] live till I'm 120. But my objective is [50:41] be be you know before the Lord calls me [50:43] or he comes back for his bride. My [50:45] objective is to live off 10 and give God [50:48] 90. [50:49] That's my objective with my wife. [50:53] >> So, I want you to lift up your tithing [50:54] and your offerings right now. What you [50:56] just both said regarding surrendering [50:59] >> and surrendering and then I like that. [51:01] Surrender, save, and then spend. That's [51:03] the order. What you did, you know, [51:05] application, deny you, you're going to [51:07] give more. Yeah. [51:08] >> Yeah. Who does that? And then God says, [51:10] I'm going to honor that. That's what [51:12] opens doors. Lift up your tithing and [51:14] your offering right there. [51:15] Heavenly Father, you're looking at first [51:17] fruit givers. [51:19] You're looking at individuals who [51:22] believe you for each of your promises. [51:24] Every person who was given today truly [51:26] believes, yes, they believe in Malachi [51:29] 3:10 and surrounding verses. They [51:31] believe in Luke 6:38. They believe in 2 [51:34] Corinthians chapter 9:es 6-9. They [51:37] believe in this. They believe what we [51:38] just read from Proverbs regarding first [51:40] fruits. because all of your promises are [51:43] yes and amen in Jesus Christ our Lord. [51:45] So today we give cheerfully.

[55:52] You may be seated for THE NEXT FOUR [55:54] SUNDAYS. BY THE WAY, WE'RE GREETING [55:55] RIGHT NOW. WE ARE LOS ANGELES. WE WANT [55:58] TO SAY HELLO TO LOS ANGELES. WE SAY [56:00] HELLO TO OUR LA DOWNEY CAMPUS RIGHT NOW, [56:03] PLEASE. [56:05] Pastor Charlie, Pastor Betty, we [56:06] absolutely love you. We love our LA [56:09] campus. We love our Roseville campus. We [56:11] love our Sacramento campus. We love our [56:13] online campus. We just love Jesus. [56:16] >> We love Jesus. Goliath Never Wins for [56:18] the next four weeks. We're going to [56:20] break down some points. We're going to [56:21] go deeper into some. Every single book [56:24] by the grace of God that we've written [56:26] since 2006 has emerged out of the womb [56:30] of this church. So, this church hears it [56:32] first. It evolves. It evolves. It [56:34] evolves and it becomes inevitably a book [56:37] and God has blessed him indeed. But I [56:38] want to speak to you about Goliath Never [56:40] Wins. When your testimony goes from [56:42] private to public to prophetic, [56:46] >> from private to public to prophetic. I'm [56:49] going to give you one verse today, [56:52] 1st Samuel 17. Your servant has killed [56:55] both the lion and the bear. [56:58] This uncircumcised Philistine. This is [57:00] called Old Testament trash talking. [57:04] THIS UNCIRCUMCISED Philistine will be [57:06] like one of them. Now, I NEED TO PUT [57:09] THIS IN PERSPECTIVE. KEEP THAT VERSE UP [57:10] THERE FOR A SECOND. THIS, Y'ALL KNOW THE [57:12] STORY ABOUT DAVID AND GOLIATH. WE'VE [57:14] COVERED IT. YOU KNOW IT. If you know it, [57:15] raise your hand. If you don't know it, [57:18] raise your other hand. [57:20] David and Goliath, IT'S THE ICONIC Old [57:22] Testament story recaptured in the New [57:25] Testament referenced on multiple [57:26] occasions regarding the life of David [57:28] himself. Even in the book of Revelation, [57:30] DAVID IS REFERENCED. WHY? BECAUSE THIS [57:33] CHANGED ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. It's a [57:35] story OF A GIANT WHO IS harassing God's [57:38] people. A very public level of [57:41] harassment. And through his rhetoric and [57:43] his actions, he intimidated God's [57:45] people. THERE WAS A SHEPHERD BOY. THIS [57:48] SHEPHERD BOY WHO was a worshipper who [57:50] LOVED GOD. HE PLAYED MUSICAL [57:52] INSTRUMENTS, BUT HE WAS A SHEPHERD BOY [57:55] IN HIS FAMILY. HE WAS THE LEAST of them. [57:58] HE WAS THE ONE DISREGARDED, DISCARDED. [58:00] HE WAS THE KID IN THE FIELD. Anybody [58:03] you're grateful that when everyone else [58:06] ignores you, God has an eye on you and [58:08] he sees you. [58:11] >> REPEAT AFTER ME, GOD SEES ME. [58:13] >> God sees. [58:14] >> Tell your neighbor, "God sees me." [58:16] >> GOD SEES ME. [58:17] >> SO GOD KEPT AN EYE ON HIM BECAUSE HE [58:18] ALWAYS CONNECTED TO GOD VIA THE CONDUIT [58:21] OF HIS WORSHIP AND HIS PRAISE. AND [58:23] DISCARDED AND IN THE FIELD. THIS young [58:26] man after being anointed, he received AN [58:28] ANOINTING FROM A PROPHET WITH AN [58:30] INCREDIBLE NAME. [58:33] >> Thank you. [58:36] I love my amen corner. SAMUEL, THE [58:39] PROPHET SAMUEL, the the prophet Samuel [58:42] comes up and and anoints him. They [58:44] already have a king in Israel. HIS NAME [58:45] IS KING SAUL. KING SAUL WAS A NARCISSIST [58:48] for Samuel 15. So, he was a [58:50] self-absorbed person all about himself. [58:53] And because of that, the Holy Spirit [58:55] departed FROM HIM. AND GOD SAID, "I NEED [58:57] TO REPLACE HIM WITH A BETTER KING, AND I [58:59] HAVE SOMEONE I've already ordained. I've [59:01] called." SO, HE TELLS THE PROPHET [59:03] SAMUEL, "GO FIND HIM." HE GOES TO THE [59:04] HOUSE OF JESSE. THIS MAN NAMED JESSE HAD [59:06] A NUMBER OF SONS. BUT THEN AT THE END, [59:09] JESSE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE this guy here, [59:11] the muscular son, the famous son, the [59:14] son with a billion followers on [59:15] Instagram and Tik Tok back in the day. [59:17] BUT GUESS WHAT? IT WAS NONE OF THEM. IT [59:19] WAS THE KID in the field. He smelled [59:22] like A FIELD. HE SMELLED LIKE SHEEP. THE [59:25] DISCARDED ONE. THE ONE THAT WAS WORKING [59:27] THE ENTIRE TIME. But God kept an eye on [59:29] him. And and in fact, the word from the [59:32] LORD WAS THIS. EVERYONE ELSE, YOU [59:33] EVALUATE people by what you see WITH [59:35] YOUR EYES. BUT GOD SEES [59:37] >> the heart. [59:38] >> God sees the what? [59:39] >> So God SEES THE HEART. SO SAMUEL COMES [59:41] ALONG AND ANOINTS THE ONE, DAVID, TO BE [59:44] THE NEXT KING. AND THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL [59:46] UPON HIM FROM THAT DAY. SO NOW HE'S [59:48] ANOINTED, BUT HE DOESN'T GO PUBLIC WITH [59:50] THAT ANOINTING. NO ONE KNOWS THAT HE'S [59:52] anointed except those that experienced [59:54] that moment, Jesse, his family, AND [59:56] SAMUEL. SO THEN over here there's a [59:58] giant. And the giant IS TALKING TRASH, [60:01] NOT JUST TRASH ABOUT THEM. HE STARTS [60:04] TALKING TRASH ABOUT THEIR GOD. SO HE [60:07] COMES AGAINST THEM AND HE'S AND AND IT'S [60:09] really crude and coarse AND HE'S LAYING [60:11] OUT SOME THINGS HEBREW, IF YOU [60:12] EXTRAPOLATE THE NARRATIVE, HE'S CURSING [60:15] GOD'S PEOPLE. BUT THEN HE PIVOTS TO [60:17] CURSING GOD. SO THEN DAVID COMES INTO [60:21] the area AND JUST TO SERVE. HE'S A [60:24] SERVANT. I mean, HE'S A HE COMES TO [60:26] SERVE. I LOVE THIS. WE'RE GOING TO READ [60:28] THIS IN A MOMENT. HE COMES TO SERVE. [60:30] HE'S ALREADY ANOINTED TO BE KING, BUT HE [60:33] COMES TO SERVE BECAUSE YOU'RE ANOINTED [60:35] TO SERVE BEFORE you're anointed to lead. [60:38] YOU'RE ALWAYS ANOINTED TO SERVE before [60:40] you're anointed to lead. AND THE BIBLE [60:42] CALLS HIM A SERVANT. AND THE SERVANT [60:44] DAVID ARRIVED. STOP. HARD STOP. HE WAS [60:47] ALREADY ANOINTED TO BE KING IN THE [60:49] FUTURE. BUT THE BIBLE DOESN'T SAY THE [60:51] FUTURE KING DAVID. IT SAYS DAVID THE [60:54] SERVANT. YOUR NUMBER ONE TITLE IS A [60:56] SERVANT. YOUR NUMBER ONE TITLE. YOUR [61:00] NUMBER ONE TITLE IS NOT THE TITLE [61:02] PRESCRIBED TO YOU BY MEN OR EVEN THE [61:04] TITLE TO YOU REGARDING A LEVEL OF [61:06] ELEVATION AND EXALTATION. YOUR NUMBER [61:08] ONE. YOU'RE A SERVANT OF THE MOST HIGH [61:11] GOD. WE ARE HERE TO SERVE. SO WE ARISE. [61:14] HE HE HE STOPPED BY PANERA AND HE PICKED [61:16] UP SOME CHEESE SANDWICHES AND HE BRINGS [61:18] THE CHEESE SANDWICHES TO HIS BROTHERS [61:20] AND HIS BROTHERS ARE THERE AND WHILE [61:22] HE'S BRINGING THE I WISH I HAD A BAG OF [61:24] CHEESE sandwiches right now AND AND HE [61:26] BRINGS THE CHEESE SANDWICHES AND HE [61:28] BRINGS THEM AND HE'S HEARING THIS GIANT [61:30] CURSE GOD'S PEOPLE AND curse God. And [61:33] here's David bringing the sandwiches [61:35] going like, "What is this?" AND THE [61:37] GUY'S CURSING UP A STORM. WHAT IS THIS? [61:40] AND THEN DAVID COMES ALONG AND SAYS, [61:41] "WHOA, DID YOU ALL HEAR WHAT HE HAS SAID [61:44] ABOUT YOU, ABOUT ME, ABOUT US? MORE [61:47] IMPORTANTLY, DID YOU HEAR WHAT HE SAID [61:48] ABOUT GOD?" AND THEY ALL LOOK AT HIM, [61:52] ALL OF THEM, AND SAY, "SH, [61:55] he'll hear you. This is David." [61:58] >> He goes, "WHAT? YOU CARE ABOUT him [62:01] hearing me? Are you kidding me?" AND [62:05] THEY ALL COLLECTIVELY NOW THE BIBLE says [62:08] that Goliath 1st Samuel 17:33 said you [62:11] KNOW GOLIATH CAME SAUL SAID DON'T BE [62:14] RIDICULOUS. GOLIATH SAID DON'T BRING ME [62:16] THIS DOG. HIS BROTHERS said you're never [62:18] going to be able to defeat him. SO HE [62:20] HAD LISTEN GOLIATH THE KING AND HIS [62:24] BROTHERS ALL TOLD HIM TO SHUT UP. [62:26] All of them stop. And this is what [62:30] happened. They turned around the [62:32] brothers and said, "You really need to [62:34] be quiet." He gets really upset. Listen, [62:38] first of all, you're never going to be [62:39] able to defeat because you've never [62:41] fought anything. You've never fought [62:43] anything. And here comes the story. [62:47] Your servant, not your future king, [62:51] your servant has killed both the lion [62:55] >> and the bear. [62:57] >> This uncircumcised Philistine [63:01] will be like one of them [63:04] >> because he has defied the armies of the [63:06] living God. [63:08] >> The Lord who rescued me [63:10] >> from the paw of the lion and the paw of [63:13] the bear will rescue me from the hand of [63:16] the Philistine. [63:20] >> I I need I [63:25] you know this is just the way they that [63:26] I operate. It is the way God made me. [63:28] Please forgive me. I like to illustrate [63:30] everything. So I just need a bear, a [63:33] lion, and a giant. [63:35] Um, [63:37] so there's the giant. There's the bear. [63:39] I want to illustrate this here on stage. [63:41] Come on. Let me get I need a lion. Who's [63:43] a lion? [63:45] >> Give it UP FOR FOR THE LION. PHILLIP, [63:47] COME UP HERE QUICKLY. [63:50] I I need a bear. Gus, you look like a [63:52] bear. Gus, come up here quickly. [63:56] >> Here. You guys are You're the lion here. [63:59] I want to re-eleate this here. You're [64:01] both here. I need I need a giant. [64:05] I need a giant for this side. Who do we [64:07] have? Daniel. [64:11] You're a giant. [64:14] Yes. You're a giant. Stay right there. [64:15] You're the giant. Giant in flip-flops. [64:17] Oh my. My friend got a giant. [64:22] THIS IS IT. TAKE OUT YOUR PHONES. NO [64:26] JOKE. TAKE OUT YOUR IPHONES AND THE [64:28] BARELY born again want to take out your [64:29] Androids real quick. Take out your [64:32] phones. Take a picture. This is the [64:35] problem. This is the problem AND THE [64:37] SOLUTION. DAVID COMES AROUND. THIS GUY [64:40] IS INTIMIDATING EVERYONE. CURSING GOD. [64:44] CURSING GOD'S PEOPLE. DAVID comes around [64:46] and says, "Uh-uh. No. Stop for A SECOND. [64:50] YOU'RE TELLING ME I CAN'T CONFRONT HIM? [64:52] NO. I fought [64:55] >> AND I FOUGHT THE [64:57] >> AND I'M STILL [65:00] >> THAT is called your testimony. [65:06] >> You're going to get this before the [65:07] SERMON IS OVER. REVELATION 12:11. HOW DO [65:10] WE OVERCOME? WE OVERCOME with [65:12] philosophies. We overcome with ideas. We [65:15] overcome with our opinions. We overcome [65:18] of our feelings. We overcome THROUGH OUR [65:20] MULTIPLE THERAPEUTIC sessions which are [65:22] pretty cool. We overcome THROUGH [65:23] REFRAMING. WE WE HOW DO WE OVERCOME? [65:26] UH-UH. WE OVERCOME THROUGH OUR POSTING [65:28] IN TIK TOK, on Instagram, YOUTUBE, EX [65:31] FACEBOOK. WE WHY DO WE OVERCOME? WE [65:34] OVERCOME BY WHAT? WE OVERCOME BY THE [65:37] BLOOD [65:38] >> AND THE WORD. [65:40] I NEED YOU TO GET READY FOR GOD TO USE [65:43] YOUR TESTIMONY TO BRING SOME GIANTS [65:45] DOWN. I'M GOING TO SAY THAT ONE MORE [65:47] TIME. I NEED YOU TO GET READY. GOD'S [65:50] GOING TO USE WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH TO [65:52] BRING SOME GIANTS DOWN. I'M GOING TO DO [65:54] THAT ONE MORE TIME. WHAT YOU WENT [65:56] THROUGH WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. WHAT YOU [65:58] WENT THROUGH, GOD'S GOING TO TURN IT [66:00] AROUND. AND WITH WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH, [66:03] BY THE WAY, IF YOU WENT THROUGH IT AND [66:04] YOU'RE IN THIS AUDITORIUM, IT MEANS [66:06] THIS. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS HARD, AND I'M [66:09] NOT SPEAKING COURSE NOW, IT WAS HARD AS [66:12] HELL, BUT YOU'RE STILL HERE. WHY ARE YOU [66:15] HERE? BECAUSE HEAVEN IS BIGGER THAN [66:17] HELL. WHY ARE YOU HERE? BECAUSE GOD IS [66:20] MORE POWERFUL THAN THE DEVIL. SO IF [66:22] YOU'RE STILL HERE, I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU. [66:25] GOD'S GOING TO TURN WHAT YOU WENT [66:27] THROUGH AROUND IN YOUR FAVOR TO BRING [66:30] DOWN THE GIANTS IN YOUR FAMILY, TO BRING [66:32] DOWN THE GIANTS IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS, [66:34] TO BRING DOWN THE GIANTS IN YOUR [66:36] GENERATIONS. IF YOU BELIEVE IT, SHOUT [66:39] LIKE YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. [66:45] BUT WAIT A SECOND. THIS IS IT. LOOK AT [66:48] THIS. [66:49] >> STOP. [66:50] >> YOU CAN'T DEFEAT THE GIANT [66:54] >> WITHOUT FIRST DEFEATING THE LION AND THE [66:56] BEAR. [66:57] >> AND THAT'S THE MESSAGE. [67:00] >> THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT TRY TO DEFEAT HIM [67:03] >> WITHOUT EVER CONFRONTING THEM. [67:07] >> GET THIS FOR A SECOND. THIS IS WHY [67:09] YOU'RE HERE THIS MORNING. YOU CAN'T [67:11] CONFRONT THAT. YOU CAN'T FIGHT THE [67:15] GOLIATH WITHOUT FIRST DEFEATING THE LION [67:17] AND THE BEAR. [67:18] >> Be you. IF YOU HAVEN'T CONFRONTED THE [67:21] DEMONS AROUND YOU, DON'T TRY TO FIGHT [67:24] THE GIANT IN FRONT OF YOU. YOU GOT TO [67:27] OVERCOME. THESE ARE THIS. YOU DON'T DO [67:30] THIS. [67:32] DAVID LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID, "LISTEN, [67:35] Y'ALL Y'ALL DIDN'T SEE IT. YOU WEREN'T [67:37] THERE. [67:38] >> You weren't there. YOU WEREN'T THERE [67:40] WHEN I FOUGHT THE LION. YOU WEREN'T [67:42] THERE WHEN I FOUGHT THE BEAR. THESE WERE [67:44] PRIVATE BATTLES. [67:47] You need TO BE THERE, BUT GOD WAS THERE. [67:50] I FOUGHT SOME THINGS IN PRIVATE THAT [67:53] ENABLED ME TO COME OUT HERE IN PUBLIC. [67:55] IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO DEFEATED A [67:58] LION? WHO DEFEATED A BEAR IN PRIVATE? [68:00] AND HERE YOU ARE. YOU FOUGHT SOME [68:02] THINGS. NO ONE SAW YOU FIGHT THE LION. [68:06] NO ONE SAW YOU FIGHT THE BEAR. NO ONE [68:10] SAW YOU FIGHT DEPRESSION. NO ONE SAW YOU [68:12] FIGHT FEAR. NO ONE SAW YOU FIGHT THAT [68:15] TEMPTATION. NO ONE SAW YOU FIGHT THAT [68:18] ADDICTION. ONLY GOD. BUT GOD SAW IT. I [68:22] SAID GOD SAW IT. I SAID GOD SAW IT. AND [68:25] GOD WAS THERE AND HE ENABLED YOU TO [68:28] OVERCOME. SO YOUR PRIVATE BATTLES BECOME [68:31] A PUBLIC PLATFORM. SOMEBODY GIVE GOD [68:34] GLORY. OF YOU KNOW [68:39] ANYBODY HERE FIGHT SOME THINGS PRIVATELY [68:41] THAT NO ONE IS AWARE OF [68:45] >> ANYBODY FOUGHT A LION OR A BEAR [68:47] PRIVATELY [68:49] NO ONE IS AWARE OF LIFT UP BOTH HANDS [68:52] IF YOU FOUGHT SOME THINGS IF YOU FOUGHT [68:55] MANY THINGS IN PRIVATE I need you to get [68:58] ready [68:59] >> because your private battle [69:01] >> will produce a public reward Lord. [69:07] I'm going to do that one more time. YOUR [69:09] P I FEEL THE LORD. YOUR PRIVATE BATTLE [69:12] WILL PRODUCE a public reward. I need you [69:15] to get READY IN THE MIGHTY name of [69:17] Jesus. Get ready. Get ready. Tell your [69:20] neighbor, "Get ready, neighbor. Get [69:22] ready, NEIGHBOR. YOUR PRIVATE BATTLE [69:26] WILL produce a public reward." [69:30] HALLELUJAH. BEFORE THERE WAS A GOLIATH, [69:33] THERE WAS A LION. BEFORE THERE WAS A [69:34] GIANT, THERE WAS A BEAR. BEFORE THERE [69:37] WAS AN ARMY WATCHING DAVID, THERE WAS A [69:39] WILDERNESS where no one WAS WATCHING [69:41] DAVID. BEFORE DAVID STOOD IN FRONT OF [69:43] THOUSANDS, DAVID STOOD ALONE WITH GOD. [69:46] BEFORE THERE WAS A PUBLIC VICTORY, THERE [69:48] WAS A PRIVATE BATTLE. YOUR PRIVATE [69:50] BATTLE WILL RESULT IN A PUBLIC REWARD. [69:53] IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I COME IN [69:55] AGREEMENT WITH YOU AND WHAT YOU'VE BEEN [69:57] THROUGH AND WITH YOUR FAMILY. AND I COME [69:59] IN AGREEMENT THAT BEFORE THIS YEAR IS [70:01] OVER, YOU WILL BE REWARDED PUBLICLY FOR [70:04] THE HELL YOU WENT THROUGH PRIVATELY. [70:06] YOU'RE NOT HEARING ME RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE [70:09] ABOUT TO RECEIVE A REWARD FROM HEAVEN [70:11] THAT WILL MARK YOUR LIFE FOREVER MORE. [70:14] IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE IT, I MEAN, COME [70:16] ON. IF YOU THOUGHT SOME THINGS IN [70:18] PRIVATE AND YOU'RE READY TO SEE THE [70:20] GIANT FALL IN PUBLIC, GIVE GOD YOUR BEST [70:24] SUNDAY MORNING PRAISE. [70:33] YOU HAVE TO DEFEAT THE bear and the lion [70:37] in the field. [70:39] >> Before you confront the giant in public, [70:42] >> don't you dare TRY TO CONFRONT THE GIANT [70:44] IN PUBLIC before you defeat the bear and [70:46] the lion in private. [70:48] >> Oh boy. [70:50] You have to deal with the demons around [70:52] you before you attempt to bring down the [70:54] devil in front of you. [70:58] There are people who try to confront the [71:00] giant without ever defeating the bear [71:03] and the lion and they end up completely [71:06] humiliated. [71:09] David learned how to fight when no one [71:11] was watching. [71:15] Before there was a Goliath, there was a [71:17] bear. [71:19] Before there was a Goliath, there was a [71:20] lion. Before there was a valley. He [71:22] fought in the valley. [71:23] >> He fought him in the [71:27] He He fought him in the valley, [71:30] >> but he defeated them in the field. [71:33] >> The field comes before the valley. [71:36] >> What you do in the field will determine [71:38] your victory in the outcome in the [71:40] valley. [71:42] Y'all missed it. [71:44] In the field where he was working, in [71:47] the field where he was shephering, in [71:49] the field where he was dirty, in the [71:51] field where he was lifting him up, in [71:53] the field where he was exalting him, in [71:55] the field where he was li in the field [71:56] where his praise was unfettered, in the [71:59] field where he would talk to him [72:01] constantly was where he was really made. [72:03] HE WAS DEFINED IN THE FIELD. HE CAME OUT [72:06] OF THE FIELD. SO WHEN HE GOT TO THE [72:08] VALLEY, EVERYTHING THAT HE accumulated [72:10] in the field came with him. I'M HERE TO [72:13] TELL YOU, GET READY BECAUSE in the [72:15] field, SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN SEWING. IN [72:17] THE FIELD, YOU'VE BEEN WORKING HARD. IN [72:19] THE FIELD, YOU'VE BEEN FIGHTING BEARS [72:20] AND LIONS. IN THE FIELD, YOU'VE BEEN [72:22] PRAISING. IN THE FIELD, YOU'VE BEEN [72:24] WORSHIPING. IN THE FIELD, YOU'VE BEEN [72:26] PLAYING THE HEART. IN THE FIELD, YOU'VE [72:28] BEEN LIFTING him high. IN THE FIELD, [72:30] YOU'VE BEEN JOURNALING AND WRITING ABOUT [72:32] HIS GLORY. SO, I NEED YOU TO GET READY [72:35] BECAUSE IF YOU ARE NOW IN THE VALLEY, [72:37] THAT VALLEY WILL NOT DESTROY YOU. THAT [72:40] VALLEY IS ABOUT TO CATAPULT YOU TO A [72:42] PLACE THAT GOD WILL BECOME MORE FAMOUS [72:45] THROUGH YOUR TESTIMONY THAN EVER BEFORE. [72:48] GIVE HIM PRAISE IF YOU KNOW IT'S ABOUT [72:50] TO HAPPEN. [72:55] The field prepared David for the valley. [72:57] Repeat after me. The field [73:00] >> prepared me [73:02] >> for the valley. [73:06] >> What does this mean? [73:08] There are things that all of us have to [73:10] overcome privately [73:12] >> before God gives us a p a public [73:14] platform. There are things we have to [73:17] overcome privately before God will [73:19] render to us a public platform. [73:23] But if you haven't defeated them, don't [73:25] you dare confront him. [73:28] That's your testimony. [73:30] Pastor Sam, what are you saying? You [73:32] mean the lion and the bear? That [73:35] everything I went through, there was a [73:36] purpose behind it. The lion didn't come [73:39] to destroy David. The lion came to [73:41] develop David. [73:47] >> What you went through, [73:50] what you went through did not destroy [73:52] you. It developed you. [73:55] Oh boy. The bear didn't come to cancel [73:58] David's destiny. The bear came to [74:00] prepare David for his destiny. [74:04] Oh man. [74:07] YOU CALL IT WARFARE. GOD CALLS IT [74:09] PREPARATION. [74:12] ONE MORE TIME. YOU CALL WHAT YOU'RE [74:14] GOING THROUGH WARFARE. GOD CALLS IT [74:16] PREPARATION. I'm going to DO THIS ONE [74:18] MORE TIME. YOU CALL IT WARFARE. GOD [74:21] CALLS IT PREPARATION BECAUSE HE ALREADY [74:24] GUARANTEED THE OUTCOME. THE DEVIL'S NOT [74:26] GOING TO DEFEAT YOU. THAT PROBLEM WILL [74:28] NOT DEFEAT YOU. THAT SEASON YOU'RE GOING [74:31] THROUGH WILL NOT BE YOUR END. GOD IS [74:33] PREPARING YOU FOR THE GREATEST SEASON OF [74:38] YOUR LIFE. COME ON. IF THAT'S YOU, GIVE [74:40] GOD PRAISE. LIKE DAVID, PRAISE THEM. [74:44] IF GOD HAS PREPARED YOU IN 2026, LIFT UP [74:48] ONE HAND. IF GOD HAS DEVELOPED YOU IN [74:51] 2026, LIFT UP BOTH HANDS. IF YOU'RE [74:54] READY FOR GOD TO PROMOTE YOU, IF YOU'RE [74:57] READY FOR GOD TO REWARD YOU, IF YOU'RE [74:59] READY FOR GOD TO USE YOUR TESTIMONY TO [75:02] BECOME MORE FAMOUS, FOR MORE PEOPLE TO [75:05] COME TO HIM, NOW GIVE HIM ONE MORE SHOUT [75:07] OF PRAISE AND WE'RE DONE. [75:10] Stand with me. You're already standing. [75:15] Stop cursing the field [75:20] >> AND STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE LION AND [75:22] THE BEAR. [75:24] >> WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH PREPARED YOU. [75:28] >> WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH DEVELOPED YOU. [75:32] YOU CAN'T GET TO WHERE YOU'RE GOING [75:34] WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS. [75:48] Let's just do it. [75:52] Go like this. [75:54] Repeat after me. The bear was training [75:56] me. [75:57] >> The bear was training me. [75:58] >> The lion was preparing me. [76:00] >> The lion was preparing me. [76:01] >> The field was developing me. [76:03] >> The field was developing. And Goliath [76:07] is about to reveal [76:09] >> what God built inside of me. [76:12] I [76:13] >> I have news. [76:15] I have news for you. [76:17] Everything you are fighting privately [76:21] and publicly. [76:23] In other words, these are the fights the [76:25] people know. [76:28] These are the fights they do not know [76:29] of. [76:31] Everything you're fighting has already [76:34] been defeated. [76:36] >> No, you y'all didn't. [76:38] >> She My corner said, "Amen." [76:41] >> But you're not getting it. [76:44] Everything you're fighting has already [76:46] been defeated. [76:49] >> You're still you're going now. There's [76:51] three of you going like, I think I [76:53] should jump on this train. No. [76:55] Colossians 2:15. [76:58] Colossians 2:15 says, "On the cross, [77:01] Jesus defeated every spiritual tyrant." [77:04] I'll give you the different renditions [77:06] of that. On the cross, Jesus defeated [77:08] every spiritual tyrant. On the cross, [77:10] Jesus defeated every devil, demon, [77:12] legion, principality, and power of [77:14] darkness. On the cross, Jesus defeated [77:16] every vestage of darkness, every bit of [77:19] evil. No, Y'ALL DIDN'T GET THAT. [77:20] EVERYTHING YOU'RE FIGHTING WAS ALREADY [77:22] DEFEATED ON THE CROSS. NO, NO, NO, NO, [77:23] NO, NO, NO, NO. NOT WILL BE DEFEATED. ON [77:26] THE CROSS, JESUS DEFEATED EVERY SIN, [77:29] EVERY INIQUITY, EVERY TRANSGRESSION, [77:32] EVERY SICKNESS. ON THE CROSS, EVERY LIE [77:35] FROM THE PIT OF HELL WAS DEFEATED. I [77:37] KNOW WHAT SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING. IF IT [77:38] WAS DEFEATED, WHY ARE THEY STILL AROUND? [77:41] IT It's They've already been found [77:43] guilty. [77:45] They lost. And just like a fighter, [77:48] after they've been deemed that they've [77:50] lost, they've lost. The sentencing is [77:53] about to take place. It's called yes but [77:56] not yet. That's the theological tension. [77:59] So it already happened. THE FULL [78:01] SENTENCE IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE SOONER [78:03] THAN WHAT WE THINK. By the way, because [78:05] he is coming soon. Jesus is coming. SO [78:08] IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN SOONER THAN WHAT WE [78:09] THINK. BUT PRAISE be the Lord. [78:11] Everything you're fighting has already [78:13] been defeated. All you need TO DO IS [78:14] LOOK AT DEPRESSION AND SAY, "You've [78:16] already been defeated." LOOK AT ANXIETY [78:18] AND SAY, "YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN DEFEATED." [78:21] LOOK AT THAT ADDICTION THAT'S TRYING TO [78:23] BIND YOU. LOOK AT ALCOHOLISM, [78:25] PORNOGRAPHY, SEXUAL IMMORALITY, AND SAY [78:28] YOU, HEY, YOU COME HERE, MR. [78:29] FORNICATION. YOU WERE ALREADY DEFEATED [78:32] ON THE CROSS 2,000 YEARS AGO. [78:35] WHATEVER YOU'RE FIGHTING HAS ALREADY [78:37] BEEN DEFEATED. [78:42] What does this mean? [78:47] It means this. The Where's the bear? [78:50] That's you bear. [78:53] >> That bear you're fighting [78:56] was already defeated by the lamb you are [78:58] worshiping. [79:01] >> One more time. The bear that you are [79:03] fighting was already defeated by the [79:05] lamb you are worshiping. [79:07] Lion. The lion that you are fighting was [79:09] already defeated by the lamb you are [79:11] worshiping. [79:13] >> The lamb you serve is more powerful than [79:15] the bear you're trying. [79:18] The lamb you serve is more powerful than [79:20] the lion that's trying. It's the lamb. [79:22] Somebody say, "It's the lamb." [79:24] >> The lamb. [79:25] >> It's the lamb. [79:27] >> It's [79:30] this right here. This imagery. Remember [79:32] this. [79:34] You have to defeat the lion. You have to [79:38] defeat the bear in private in the field [79:42] before you bring down the giant in the [79:44] valley. [79:45] And some of you have already done that. [79:49] Many of you, I would argue, have already [79:51] done that. If you fought some things [79:54] privately that even some of your closest [79:56] friends and family members are not even [79:58] aware of, raise one hand. If you have [80:02] fought some things in the past year that [80:05] even some people may not be aware of, [80:07] maybe just you and God. Maybe just you [80:09] and God. Raise both hands if that's you. [80:14] Lift them up. Keep them up for a second. [80:16] You're going to repeat after me now. [80:17] You're going to repeat after me because [80:18] this is Repeat after me. [80:21] I fought some things. [80:24] >> I fought some things. [80:26] >> I fought depression [80:28] >> and I fought anxiety, [80:29] >> but I'm still standing. [80:31] >> I fought trauma and I fought drama, [80:35] >> but I'm still standing. [80:36] >> I fought betrayal. I fought brokenness, [80:40] but I'm still standing. I fought [80:42] temptations and I fought sins, but I'm [80:45] still standing. I fought the flesh and I [80:48] fought the past, but I'm still standing. [80:52] I'm still standing and I am still [80:54] standing because greater is he [80:57] >> that is in me than he that is in the [81:01] world. Come on, David. Give God some [81:03] praise. [81:06] >> GIVE HIM PRAISE IF YOU BELIEVE IT. [81:09] Give him praise if you believe it. [81:12] >> Give him praise if you BELIEVE IT. HIGH [81:15] FIVE YOUR NEIGHBOR. TELL HIM, "I FOUGHT [81:16] THE BEAR [81:18] >> AND I FOUGHT THE LION AND I'M STILL [81:20] STANDING." HIGH FIVE YOUR OTHER [81:22] NEIGHBOR. TELL THEM, "I FOUGHT THE BEAR [81:24] AND I FOUGHT THE LION AND I'M STILL [81:27] STANDING. I'M STILL STANDING." IF YOU'RE [81:30] STILL STANDING, PRAISE LIKE YOU'RE STILL [81:32] STANDING. WORSHIP LIKE YOU'RE STILL [81:35] STANDING. SHOUT LIKE YOU'RE STILL [81:37] STANDING. GIVE GOD glory like you're [81:40] still standing. [81:46] >> If you got this word, go like this. [81:49] If you understand now that you should [81:51] never confront [81:53] until you first [81:56] your private battles will render a [81:58] public reward. [82:00] This is you and God the field. This is [82:04] you and God the valley. [82:08] But make sure you never confront [82:10] until you first. [82:14] >> So I am declaring by faith that every [82:17] generational [82:18] every generational giant every giant [82:22] that has occupied space in your family [82:25] now you have the authority to in the [82:27] name of Jesus to bring that giant down. [82:30] Do you hear me? The giants that have [82:33] occupied space in your family lineage, [82:36] in your bloodline are about to come [82:38] down. All of them will come down. IS [82:41] THERE ENOUGH FAITH IN THIS AUDITORIUM TO [82:42] believe in Los Angeles to believe that [82:45] before this year is over, every Goliath [82:48] will come down in the name of Jesus? [82:52] I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS. I DON'T CARE IF [82:54] IT'S DIABETES, CANCER, ADULTERY, sexual [82:57] immorality, ADDICTION, DOMESTIC [83:00] VIOLENCE. I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS. EVERY [83:04] GENERATIONAL GIANT WILL COME DOWN IN THE [83:07] NAME OF JESUS. [83:12] OKAY, I have to dismiss you. [83:20] >> I didn't my elders real quick. We have [83:22] 60 seconds for this. Elders that are [83:24] here, line up the stage quickly. Don't [83:26] think about it. If you're an elder, [83:27] quickly. [83:29] Elders and pastors, come up quickly. [83:41] I'm going to go back there. I'm going to [83:42] sign books. I want do it one more time. [83:44] I'm going to sign books back there. If [83:45] you if like Pastor Lauren said, you go [83:48] on Amazon, you purchase two books. I'm [83:49] going to give you three books free. I'm [83:51] and and we're going to I'm going to sign [83:52] all the books for you. So, if you [83:54] already purchased them, Amen. And and [83:56] I'm just going to sign them for you. Be [83:57] back there. But this is more important [83:59] right now. I'll run back there. But if [84:01] you're fighting a bear and a lion and [84:03] you're having an incredible difficult [84:05] time and you need some help, this is [84:07] this is where everything changes. If [84:09] you're fighting something privately, [84:11] you're saying, "Pastor Sam, I've been [84:12] fighting something privately for too [84:13] long." Listen, this is where the Holy [84:15] Spirit shows up. He gives you the [84:16] strength to overcome. where the finished [84:18] work of Christ makes itself fully [84:20] manifest by faith. As you come in [84:21] agreement, just by your humility of [84:23] coming up here, God shows up and he [84:25] says, "I see you. You've been you [84:27] haven't been able to do it of your own [84:28] strength. I got this." And God will [84:30] fight that battle. 2 Chronicles 20:15, [84:33] "The battle is mine, sayaeth the Lord." [84:35] 1 Corinthians 15:57, "Christ is my [84:38] victory at all times in all [84:40] circumstances." So if you're fighting a [84:42] bear or you're fighting a live, this is [84:44] about the field. If you're fighting [84:46] something and you haven't been able to [84:47] overcome and you've been struggling this [84:49] year, when I release you, you're going [84:51] to come up here and you're going to run [84:52] up and we're going to pray for you. All [84:54] right? I'm going to dismiss you. But if [84:56] that's you, YOU COME UP HERE AND WATCH [84:58] GOD show up. Pastor, where Pastor Nate, [85:00] it's not here. We got our Nian Creed. [85:03] First of all, happy birthday, Pastor [85:05] Nate. Give a pip. [85:12] >> So, it's your birthday and it's and it's [85:14] Pastor Henry Picket's birthday, too. [85:16] Wow. Beautiful. Where you're still [85:19] standing? He's here somewhere. Where's [85:20] he at? Happy birthday to you, young man.
