  SPEAKER_00: God bless you and welcome to the secret places.
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_00: One more day that the Lord has given us.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I want to talk to someone here today, someone that probably feels and they're thinking today of all the things they've been through in life.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_00: And you question yourself, why?
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: Why did I have to go through this?
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: Why does it seem that my life doesn't get any better, but it seems like it's getting worse?
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: Well, let me tell you something.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_00: Your life is getting better because each day that you are allowed to wake up to is a new day that the Lord has given you.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever happened in the past is the past.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: We grow through what we go through.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: And at the end of the day is the message that someone needs to hear.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: So if God was to erase anything that you went through in the past, you wouldn't have made it this far.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: So, you know, rejoice through all circumstances.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and the word for today is Philippians chapter 1, verse 6.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: Being confident of this, very thing, that he who started a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever the Lord has started in you, he will complete.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you said there was a time in my life where I used to preach the gospel, now I'm not doing it.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: There was a time in my life where I used to worship, now I'm not doing it.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: There was a time in my life I used to pray and I used to slay in the spirit.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: Now I'm not doing it.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: There was a time where I was more positive and I will connect to the things of God.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: Now I'm not doing it.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: But guess what?
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: Even in that moment in time that you did do it doesn't mean that it stopped.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: You probably, you probably said, you know what, I just fell.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: I can go on, but it's okay.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: The Bible says seven times the righteous will fall, but seven times he will get up.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Get up, it's not the ending of your story.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: So it's okay.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: Don't be so hard on yourself and start thinking positive things because sometimes we dwell on negative things and we feel sorry for our own selves, and we stay in that set of mind that we forget about the good things that God also has allowed in our lives.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: For example, a lot of people they focus on all the bad things they've been through in life.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: But what about the good things that led you up to where you are today?
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: They're good things that God has allowed in your life.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe today you lost things in your life.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: But guess what?
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: Any material possession that we lose does not compare to the glory of God that awaits each and every one of us.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: So be sure of this.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: The Bible says, be confident of this for everything, that he who started the good work in you will perform it unto the day of Jesus Christ.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: So unto the day that we're face to face with God, he will complete what he started in us.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: There are many moments in our lives that we do become tired.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: Not because you stop loving God.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: Of course not.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: Doesn't mean because you become tired, it means that you stop loving God.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: We love God.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: And being tired does not mean that you stop loving God.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: But because this walk has been so long, because this walk is long.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's not a short walk, but guess what?
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: Even better, because you have still time to complete, to continue to get up and do what the Lord has called you to do.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: You have fought battles and you have prayed prayers, you have waited through delays and kept moving when nobody knew how tired you were.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: Believe me, I am a witness of this very well.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: I've been there, done that, know how it feels.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: And sometimes we feel like Wow.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: What what is the sense of this life, Lord?
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: Well, guess what?
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: Look how far you already made it.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: Look how far God has already drawn.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: You did not survive all that to surrender now.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: God is saying you made it that far in time.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: But maybe you were in prison.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you were in prison of your own mind.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you were in a situation in time.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: But look how far you made it.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: You made it this far.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: The same God who began the work is still working.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: He has not stopped.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: He will continue to work in your life.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: But you just gotta speak to him, talk to him, separate for him.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: Because you know what I noticed?
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: When you separate for God, give God one hour, give God half an hour, give God your best.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: When you do that, when we give him that time, we see that maybe there are gonna be things that are gonna come our way, we can handle them better because now we separated one hour.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: Now we separated half an hour.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: Now we spoke to God on our private time.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: You know, whatever you do in private, God will be rewarded in public.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: But whatever you do in private, it has power.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, when nobody sees you, you don't have the microphone, you don't have uh the attention, the applause.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: Just doing God, doing God alone.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: Start drawing yourself, separating yourself from God, doing what matters the most, reading the word, praying to God, and talking to God.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: When the moments of trials come, you are able to withstand the storm.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: Because you have separated God.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: And let me tell you something, those stormy moments will come.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: Those moments where you're gonna have to say, Lord, please, I need that will come.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: Sooner or later they will come because the Bible says that in this world you will have afflictions.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: So we will have afflictions of all kinds.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe today you say, No, today my life is like a fairy tale.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing is happening, but guess what?
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: The rain will fall on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: So storms will come whether you serve God and you don't serve God.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: The good thing is that when you're serving God and you're separate from God, you know where your power comes from.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: Amen.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: Come on.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: I'm speaking to somebody here today.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: See, so look how far God has brought you.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe everything is not where you want it to be yet.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: That's okay.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Guess what?
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: Everything is not the way I want it to be, but it's okay.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: A work in progress is still a work in God's hands.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: We are God's workmanship.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: Every day he's gonna work his best in us, he's gonna perform us the way he wants to perfect us.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: Do not create us.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: You're not a failed product of God.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: You are beautiful creation that God has created.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: Your next chapter will require the strength of development.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: Always remember this.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: You are still breathing.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: The story is not over.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: Continue doing what you were doing before.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: You had that fire for God before.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: Guess what?
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: Develop that fire.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: Come on.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: Let the flame be ablaze.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: Don't just stop now.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_00: Because maybe today you say, Oh, I just don't need God no more.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: Guess what?
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: As long as we breathe, we will always need God.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: Because at the end of the day, no one can do for us like God can do for us.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: So you know what?
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_00: Snap back into reality and have that private time with God.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: May God bless you, and I hope this word motivated you to the point that you say, you know what?
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna rise up.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go to my secret place.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: Not just with Pastor Lily, I'm gonna go to my secret place and I'm gonna talk to God.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna have a biggest conversation with God because I know that He heals me and you're gonna see the difference.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: Let's say these prayers today in this believe that through everything that we may be going through, but God is there.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus, we thank you for bringing us this far, Lord.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: Strengthen us, Father God.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: Strengthen every person who feels like giving up today, Lord.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: Renew their faith and remind them that you finished what you began, Father God.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: That you are the way maker, miracle worker, you are the God of miracles.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: You are the God that tells us in your word Is there anything impossible for me?
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: Because for you there's nothing impossible, Father God.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: We place our future in your hands, mighty God, and declare that our story is not over.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' mighty name I pray.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: God bless you.
