  SPEAKER_00: God bless you.
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_00: This is Pastor Millie with you tonight.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: Here I am wanting to speak to one soul.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_00: Even if it's one person that this message may reach, that is my goal.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: Just one person.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: And I know that there's many people going through so many things tonight.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: But I want you to know something.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: And I want to name this your pain did not cancel the purpose of God in your life.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: Remember this always.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: No matter what you have been through, what you're going through, it will not and it cannot cancel the purpose that God has for your life.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: You were chosen by God.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: There's no devil in hell that can take away from what God wants to do with your life.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: Okay?
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: And let's go to the book of Romans, chapter 8, verse 28.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna read you the King James Version.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: It says, and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: Now I want you to stop for a moment and I want you to listen to this word.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: Everything that you have gone through, everything that you may be going through right now, I want you to know that this word was given to each and every believer so we can know that no matter what we go through, it all serves for a greater purpose, okay?
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: Everything, everything works together for the good to them that love God.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: And because you love God, it doesn't mean because you're going through so much and and you find yourself like saying, you know, when I think I'm getting better, here I am.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: I go backwards 10 steps back.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: When I think I'm five steps forward, something happens, here I am, and I go back.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: I want you to know that even this moment in time that you feel that you're going through so much and and it's hard, it doesn't mean that God has canceled your purpose, it doesn't mean that God doesn't have a purpose for your life, it means that you were chosen, and because you were chosen, you will go through a lot.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: Because let me tell you something, pain sometimes can make us believe like, wait a minute, something is something is happening, something has been taken from me.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: What's going on, Lord?
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: What's going on, God?
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: Or it can make you feel like where is God in the midst of what we're going through?
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: We can look at what happened to us and wonder whether we'll be able to be the same.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: But let me tell you something, and I want you to think about this, and I want you to make this word yours tonight, okay?
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: I know I'm speaking to a soul tonight.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: I know that someone here needed this word, okay?
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: God never promised to you that everything would feel good, but one thing he did promise you and me, he can work through everything for good.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: So everything that you may be going through that feels bad, feels like you can't go on, feels painful, feels like you're never gonna get out of it.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: Even all that, all that that you're going through, he promised that he can work through everything for the good.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: So everything serves for a greater purpose.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I can say that by experience because sometimes, you know, people look at us and they say, you know, you're only saying this because your life is good.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: No, every believer, every person that believes in God, follows God, you're gonna be persecuted one way or the other.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: Because everything that happens to us is why?
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: Because we believe in God.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: There is an enemy out there that does not want us to believe in God, does not want us to follow God.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: But then again, the Lord says to us in his word, if anybody wants to come, pick up their cross, deny themselves, and follow who?
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: Follow God.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: So picking up your cross can be heavy, can be tough, but yet God is telling you.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: See, your pain, your pain is part of your story.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: I got a story.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: Many of us got a story to tell.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: I got a mess that became a powerful message, and I got a test that became a powerful testimony.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: Many things that I went through in life that not even everybody knows.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: There's some testimonies you you speak about, and there's some testimonies that you rather just leave it, don't say anything, and just wait for the timing that God tells you to speak up.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: And we all do, we all have something to say, and there will be a point in time that God would allow us to say it.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: So it doesn't mean that because you went through so much and you went through so much pain, and maybe today you find yourself going through more pain.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't mean that you're writing the ending of your story because you're not, it's not the ending of your story, it's only the beginning.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: You see, the enemy may have won an experience to silence you, and that's why a lot of things happen because he's like, you know what?
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: Since I know he or she gives so much to the bad things that happen to him or her, I'm gonna make it where they're gonna speak about it so much.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: No, no, he wants you to feel shame, he wants to make you quit.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: But let me tell you something: God can take that very place where you cried and turn it into a place from which you minister to someone else.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: Because what is a testimony?
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: What is a preaching?
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of people think that preaching is only based based on the word of God.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: Of course it is, it's based on the word of God, but it's also a testimony.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: Some people want to hear you, some people want to hear where you went through the pain that you struggle with, how bad it was, and what God did in your life that made you come out of it.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I wanted to hear.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: There was a time in my life that I wanted to hear someone, a preacher, someone come and speak and say about how bad their life was and how good God turned it.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: God turned it for good because he knew that I loved them.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: And because you love God, everything you go through, one day will be a testimony, okay?
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: God can take it all out.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: He can take that and make you remember that it was him himself that came into your life, okay?
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: The enemy wants you to quit, but God can take that very place where you cried and turn it into a place from which you minister to someone else and tell that person where God took you out of, what God did.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: And you don't have to pretend.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: See, that's another thing.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of people, because they come to cries and because they find themselves in a new whole level, they pretend life is a fairy tale.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: They pretend that they never had pain in their life, they pretend that they walk on water.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: Be yourself because that's who God wants you to be.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: Be yourself if you've been through the fire, if you're going through the fire, speak up.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: Say what happened because you're gonna see the story the before and the after.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: Healing is not denial.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: We don't have to deny what we went through, we don't have to deny that it never happened, we don't have to deny that how life has been horrible and it and it continues to be horrible because if it's happening, it's happening.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: Healing is reaching out to the point where what happened no longer controls where you were going.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: You see, there were times in my life I couldn't even testify.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: Because if I would testify, I would start crying and feeling sorry for myself because of what I went through as a person, as a human being, and then all the guilt, and then all the pity party, everything that I was going through, because the enemy loves to magnify when you're going through something.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: When you're going through something, haven't you noticed?
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: You start thinking about it.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: Now you start believing the lies, the darts that come into your mind, and you start questioning, questioning God, and and you start changing because you think because God allowed you to go through it, that he's not there for you.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: But he's he's actually growing you through what you're going through.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: He's actually showing you levels in your life that needs to be strengthened.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: Um, for example, see how you know you're stronger when you go through so much in life, and today you can say I overcame it.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I want you to know one thing.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: Do not throw away your purpose because of what you survived.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: There are people who will understand and hope differently because it comes through your testimony.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: When you testify, when you tell somebody where God took you out of, that person is gonna receive a power boost because that person is gonna say, Wow, he or she went through all that, and here I am going through this.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: But if God did it for him or for her, he surely can do it for me.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: So I hope this word empowers someone here tonight.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: God bless you, and remember, the enemy's plan is for you to become hardened.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: Hardened that your heart will not open up to nothing good that God has for you.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: That's why he likes magnifying the bad things so you can feel that you cannot get out of that storm.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: But I got news for you.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: You can get out of that storm because if I got out of it, God can take you out of it.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm not saying that storms will not come back to my life, to your life.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: They will.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: But have hope in God.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: Okay?
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: I want to say this prayer for you.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: Father God, in the name of Jesus, Lord, Heavenly Father, I come before you tonight, Lord.
• 10:34

• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: Search their hearts and their mind, Lord.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: See whatever it is that you find, Father God.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: Heal the places in their hearts that still hurts, Father God.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_00: Take every painful chapter, Father God, and use it for your glory.
• 10:55

  SPEAKER_00: Father God, allow them to know, Father God, that whatever it is that they're going through, it will not last long, Father God.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: Because you are the God that walks with us in the midst of the storms and you do not forsake us nor leave us.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: Father God, give them a power boost to understand that your love for them will see them through no matter what.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: Father God, align their hearts with God, with you, Father God, so they can know, Father God, that you are the one that can see them through.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray and thank you, Father God, for opening the ears and the hearts of the person that is hearing this message tonight.
