  SPEAKER_00: This is Pastor Millie, and here we go again.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: Back to the secret place.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: The place where you feel relaxed.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: The place where you feel like it all makes sense, you know, because sometimes we gotta separate ourselves.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_00: We gotta separate ourselves and give ourselves that mental break.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: So thank you for being here today.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: And today I want to go to the word of God.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: And you know what?
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: We will go through moments and times that we feel like we want to give up, we feel like we're so overwhelmed, we feel like no one understands, no one is there.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: But let me tell you something.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: God says in his word, and we're gonna go to Isaiah chapter 43, verse 2.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: And it says, When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: And when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: The flames will not set you ablaze.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: So if you look at this Bible verse, I'm sorry, and then you read it, and and you really like analyze it and and you think when you read it slowly, when you pass through the waters, I will be with you.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, God is with you no matter how bad it looks, no matter how high the water may seem, you will not drown.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: He is with you.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: He's he did not say you're not gonna go through, because in this Bible verse, we see clearly that God knows that we're gonna go through.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna go through so many things because he said that in this world we will have afflictions.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: So it doesn't mean that because you believe in God, because you serve God, because you have a relationship with God that you're not gonna go through.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: He said, When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: And when you pass through the vivers, they will not sweep over you.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: When you walk, when you walk, it didn't say maybe if you walk, it says, when you walk through the fire, oof, you will not be burned.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: So it doesn't matter how bad it looks, it doesn't matter what you may be going through today.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: He says, when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: The flames will not set you ablaze.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: When you go through the fires, it will not burn you.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: You know, we all gonna go through all kinds of roller coasters in this earth.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: Look what's happening around the world.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, God is speaking in a megaphone, and still many people are still asleep.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: He is showing the world that what his word says at the end, every knee shall bow, and the heavens and the earth, and even underneath the earth, even the demons must bow.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: You know, at the end of the day, whether it is through uh natural disaster, whether it is through uh sickness, whether it's through something bad, every knee must bow.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: We must call out to God, and I want you to today take a moment and remember what you have survived in this world.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: You see, today I can say I have a powerful testimony.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: There was a moment in my life where I was diagnosed with a bad brain bacteria, and I will remember that when the doctor diagnosed me with that and said that I had a brain bacteria.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: He didn't just say it, he said how bad it was, and is it was a bacteria that came from an oriental country.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: How in the world would that come into my brain when I never went to an oriental country?
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: But you know what?
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: It was the enemy trying to cause fear because that's what he does.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: He plants that little that little seed in your ear to make you believe, uh-oh, this is it, I'm done.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: But when you know that you know that God is with you, because you actually believe it so much that he is with you, he will fight for you.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: He said, when you go through the fire, you will not be burned.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: He says, when you go through the high waters, you're not gonna drown.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: So imagine when you know that you know that you know that God is with you, nothing is gonna make you be afraid.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: And I recall my daughters were worrying because they thought I was taking it as a joke.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: I wasn't taking it as a joke, I just knew that my doctor, which is known as the excellent doctor, Jesus Christ, I knew that he had me under his care, and that did not scare me.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: And when the doctor explained it how they were gonna open my skull to clean out that infection bacteria, I looked at him like nothing.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: Not only did he say that, he says, You're not allowed to travel.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: I ended up going to Israel.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: It was a plan of the enemy to stop the trip to Israel because in Israel my husband managed to preach.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: There was a lot of people that accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: When there is a purpose in your life, the enemy would try to scare you somehow.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: But you know that you know that the God that you serve, He already told you you survived through it.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: You are a survivor, you are one that walked through the fire, you are one that walked through the waters.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: So think about it.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: There were days that you thought you would not make it through.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, here you are.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: You may have scars, but guess what?
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: You have evidence that God carries you.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: For example, here I am.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: I have a scar in my arm.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: Um, my wrist was removed years ago.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: My wrist was broken in pieces.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: By the time I went to the doctor, it was crushed.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: Um, they did the surgery, they removed my wrist, they placed metal.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: And this was years ago, but today, as I look at my hand, I said, Thank you, God, because this is a sign that you were there.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: You see, every scar in your body shows a rank.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: God was there.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's a scar, but when you look at that scar, it's not for you to have a pity party, it's for you to say, thank you, Lord.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: I survived this.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you were supposed to.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: What came to break you cannot break you because you survived through it.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: You know, the enemy would attack in many ways.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: But if you look at it, here you are with the scars, but you have evidence that God carried you.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: And in this Bible verse and this chapter is amazing because Isaiah doesn't say we will never face high waters or fire.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_00: God says, I will be with you.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: See, the promise is his presence in the middle of what we face.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: That's the biggest secure.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: This is the biggest insurance we have.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you may get a car insurance and you say, I'm, I have a policy, uh, full coverage.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: But when you're under the will of God, you have the best policy ever that will not expire.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's a policy that will guide you all the way to your final destination.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: And we see that here, Isaiah is telling us, you know, you will go through the stuff.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: He didn't say we would never go through the waters, we would never go through the vivers, we would never go through the fire.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: He says, when you go through, which means that God is preparing us, we will go through many things in this world.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: But guess what?
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: We got to believe the word of God to be real.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: We got to believe it.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: You see, he made that promise that in the middle of whatever you're facing, he's gonna be with you.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: See, what try to break you may have strengthened you.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it has strengthened your prayer life.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: Because when something bad comes, it strengthens you in many areas of your life that you can't even imagine.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe at that moment you're afraid, but because you're afraid, you're praying.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe in that moment you're scared, but because you're scared, you're receiving that new strength because you know that God is using it for something better.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: It will sharpen your discernment.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: And what you went through taught you that you, that your help really comes from who?
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: It comes from God.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: That does not make the suffering good, of course not.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: But it shows that suffering does not have the final word in our life.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: We will suffer, we will go through things, we'll we will go through challenges in life, we will cry, we will laugh because there's a season for everything underneath the sun, the Bible says.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_00: Seasons to cry, seasons to laugh.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: But guess what?
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: The most beautiful thing in life is knowing that no matter what season you go through, God is with you because you believe in his power, you believe that he is big enough to take care of you and yours.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: When the next battle comes, remember, the God who brought you through the last one, your history with God becomes evidence for your present faith.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: Don't say, God, where are you?
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: Say, God, I know you're here.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: Don't say, God, you're not hearing my prayers.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: Say, God, you have heard my prayers.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: Because if you have made it this far, that means God has carried you through.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: See, anyone, anyone can make you feel you're not good enough.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: But the most beautiful thing in life is knowing that you're so good that Jesus thought that you were so worth dying for.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: And here you are today.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe today you have a family of your own.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe today you say, I don't have a family of my own.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: But guess what?
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: You have God on your side that will never leave nor forsake you, that his love and his mercy will carry you through each storm of life.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: I want to say a prayer for you.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: I know you're hearing these words today, and I know this word just empowered you.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: You know why?
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: And knowing that you have survived what was supposed to kill you.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: You have survived what was supposed to break you, you have survived what was trying to take you down and you made it this far.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: So give yourself a round of applause.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: You know, sometimes we got to give our own self a round of applause because sometimes people won't applaud you.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: But God is so proud of you.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: Heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, I thank you and I praise you.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: I thank you for such a beautiful evening in your presence, Lord.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: Father God, I thank you for carrying us through the trials and tribulations.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: Father God, when we are weak, you are our strength.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: Remind us that your faithfulness, Father God, is always there for us, Father God.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: Father God, I declare that no matter what fire we may go through, Father God, it will not consume us, Father God.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: And that the waters will not overtake us, Father God.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: I declare your word, Father God, that says that when we go through the waters, Father God, you are there with us, Father God.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: Even through the fire, Father God, we won't even smell like we were under a fire, Father God, because you are there with us.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: Father God, bless the person hearing this tonight.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: Bless that person, Father God.
• 11:58
