stir it up for a second come on let's just give God some praise cuz he's worthy this morning if you don't know what else to praise him for just praising that you're breathing in this place praise him that you got some breath in your lungs praising that he saved you from something I don't know about you but I used to be a drug addict in the streets of San Jose but one day the love of Jesus radically changed my life Jesus saved me Jesus changed me he gave me a vision he gave me a purpose he gave me hope when I had no hope praise Jesus this morning come on it's an honor to be up here bishop thank you so much for this opportunity I want to thank my wife for everything you do to continue to build the kingdom with me and my beautiful daughter winter she just woke up right now as soon as I started preaching we I try to keep her in the services because I like her to be here when I'm preaching but the thing is when I start preaching she preaches back to me so babe if you got to take her out we got to do that so right now let's open up the Word of God it's gonna be coming out of Joe chapter 1 verse 1 and I'm gonna open up in a word of Prayer first and then we'll get into it father God we just pray you would have your way on this word god I pray that you would move this morning in our lives like you've never moved before God go deeper in our lives in Jesus mighty name amen the title of my message this morning is I'm about to double up somebody say that over yourself say I'm about to double up turn to your neighbors say I'm about to double up so the Bible says in Joel chapter 1 it says there was once a man named job he was blameless a man of complete integrity he feared God and stayed away from evil he had seven sons and three daughters he owned seven thousand sheep three thousand camels five hundred teams of oxen and five hundred female donkey he also had many servants he was in fact the richest person in that area job in the morning would purify his children he would get up early in the morning and offer a burnt offering for each of his children how many of you sacrificed for your children how many of us in this place pray over our children how many of us wake up in the morning and plead the precious blood of Jesus upon our children when I was younger my mom used to just bathe me in anointing oil when I was asleep I would wake up I would have anointing oil all over me I'm grateful for parents who follow the ways of the Lord come on then it says one day the members of the heavenly Court came to present themselves before the Lord and the accuser Satan came with them where have you come from the Lord asked Satan Satan answered the Lord I have been patrolling the earth watching everything that's going on then the Lord asked Satan have you noticed my servant Joe come on have you considered my servant job the Lord asked Satan have you seen Jobe he's the finest man in all the earth he's blameless a man of complete integrity he fears God and stays away from evil I don't know about you but there's just something about God in this text right here he's bragging on Joe Jobe has earned such a reputation and has such a deep relationship with God that even God brags on Jobe and even God is proud of job I want to be that Christian I want to be that man of God I want to be that woman of God somebody in here say that that says you know what I'm not worried about what anybody else thinks about me I'm worried about what God thinks about me he fears God and stays away from evil Satan replied to the Lord this is getting good yes but Jobe has good reason to fear God you have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property you have made him prosper in everything he does isn't it crazy that God can bless us so much and we can walk in such a deep relationship with God that even the devil can see the hand of God on your life even the devil can read nice the glory of God on your family even the devil can look at you and see the glory of God through you and it's funny how as much as the devil hates God he still finds himself praising him come on now he's literally praising God in this text he says you've always put a roll of protection around him you blessed him you protect him the King James Version says this you've placed a hedge of protection around him in his house on every side you know what the devil was saying he said you've put you put a protection on every side of his home the devil was saying I can't get in I've tried to get into job's home but I can't get in because you've blessed him and you've protected him and because jobox in integrity and because jobox in authority and because job's obedient God has put protection on every side and the devil is literally telling god I can't get in the devil says that about you I can't get into their home I can't touch their children they're covered in the blood of Jesus come on they're protected by the Lord he says I can't get in let's think about it real quick though how does the devil even know this about Joe how does the devil even have this information about Jobe the devil is not omnipresent God is omnipresent he could be everywhere at all times he knows what's going on it on this side of the earth and on that side of the earth but the devil can only be in one place at one time so this means that if he knows this about job job was already on the devil's radar I'm about to preach this this morning when you live for Jesus and you walk in the ways of the Lord you get a reputation with the devil when you wake up in the morning and your feet hit the ground all of Hell shakes I came to tell you this morning somebody better wake up it's our Lord I want a reputation with the enemy said look Jobe says this the Satan says this about Jobe to God he says God look how rich he is but reach out your hand and take everything he has and surely he will curse you to your face and then God says this all right you may test him do whatever you want with everything he possesses but don't harm him physically you know why cuz he don't praise me for the stuff that I give him he doesn't praise me for my blessings he praised me because I'm God come on see God News job's obedience wasn't conditional God literally signs job up for trouble signs him up for the front lines of the battle gives the devil access to everything he possesses why because God believes in chope I came to tell somebody this morning it might be simple but I came to tell you it doesn't matter who doesn't believe in you it doesn't matter who doesn't believe in your vision it doesn't matter who doesn't believe in your goals and your dreams God believes in you God sees you as a champion and God knows you're gonna achieve and God knows you're gonna conquer then the devil strikes okay here we go here it comes Jobs is having a good old life he's the richest man in all the area he's got his children everything's going good and then Joe loses everything at one time he loses all of his animals everything he even loses his children the Bible says that his children were eating at a house together they were feasting together and a mighty wind hit the house on all different sides and all of his children died this happens in one day everybody said one day and what's jobs response what is your response this morning I want to ask you this morning what is your response to trouble what is your response to tribulation what is your response to loss what when you didn't think you were gonna ever lose that thing what is your response to pain when something happens that you didn't plan for you didn't account for that thing that happened but it just it just happened and it wasn't fair what is your response jobs response is praised he said I came naked from my mother's womb and naked I will leave the Lord gave me what I had and the Lord took it away but nonetheless blessed be the name of the I'm gonna praise in the trial like our praise in the blessing I'm gonna praise in the pain like I praise in the victory I'm gonna praise in the valley like I praise on the mountaintop because my god is good all time all the time he's good so he praises but then something happens in the story it starts to hit him how many know it's easy to praise when you get hit right away but then when the pain is there of what you lost when you start to think about you're never gonna see your children's smile anymore Joe's thinking about these thing I'm never gonna see my children smile anymore I must have done something wrong what's going on and it starts to hit him and this is what job says let the day of my birth be erased that that day be turned to darkness let it be lost even to God on high and let no light shine on it curse the day for failing to shut my mother's womb he's depressed he's depressed anybody struggle with depression at one time in your life he doesn't see no value in himself anymore he's lost his vision cause that day for failing to shut my mother's womb for letting me be born to see all this trouble why wasn't I born dead I wish that God would reach out his hand and kill me he doesn't want to live anymore he's lost everything he's got this pain he's got this struggle and then he says this right after he says that he says at least I can take comfort in this one thing despite the pain I have not denied the words of the Holy One I came to tell you if you're going through a struggle I came to tell you if you got pain in your life right now I came to tell you if you lost some things don't reject the words of the Holy One don't reject the word of God the Bible says that his word is a lamp unto your feet don't reject the Bible get into your word and let it comfort you all of this pain all of this trouble I'm not gonna deny the words that the Holy One I need to speak to him I need to hear him talk to me says this this is where it gets deep I love this part job says if I have sinned what have I done to you a watcher of all humanity what have I done to you he thinks he did something wrong he thinks that he messed up in some type of way he said why make me your target god am i a burden to you so job's a man of complete integrity job's this man who God believes in and and what's crazy as he starts to doubt himself because in the midst of his trial sometimes we get blinded of our identity in the midst of our struggle in the darkness and the storms and the loss and the pain and the heartbreak of what happened to you you forget who you are but I came to tell somebody this morning joke didn't understand that it wasn't what he was doing wrong that got him into the situation but it was what Jobe was doing right that got him in the situation maybe the reason why you've had so much pushback from the enemy maybe the reason why there's so much opposition in your life maybe the reason why the devil attacks you isn't because you've done something wrong maybe it's because you've done something right and maybe the devil see so much greatness in you the devil doesn't want you to reach your potential and that's why he's hitting you so stop asking why did I do something wrong start saying I'm doing something right if there's this much opposition I'm doing something right my daughter winter sitting right there she was born in New York I wanted her to be born in California but she was born in New York right there in the hospital on a snowy day and as she's coming out the pregnancy went perfect pregnancy went perfect throughout the whole process and in the last minute as she come in now the ability Lord wraps around her neck twice and she's not breathing and they have to resuscitate her and I'm holding the hand of my wife and I could have asked God what did I do wrong but but I don't think that's the question as Christians in the kingdom of God as sons and daughters I think the question should be god what am i doing right for the enemy to hit me like this for the enemy to try to take her life at the last moment so I didn't cry about it I had peace I stood still and I said I know she's called I know she's destined I know she's chosen I know she's chosen for greatness because the devil tried to choke her out at the last minute but she's a promise from God she's a promise from the Lord so the devil can't stop what God has planned see sometimes God will take you through some stuff to show off his glory through your life it's not because you did anything wrong I'm telling somebody this more you didn't do nothing wrong God just wants to show himself off to you can I tell you that it's okay to have your brokenness in one hand and your praise in the other check this out job is depressed he's almost suicidal in a way I don't want to be here anymore and then this happens how many how many know you got to know how to shift everybody say shift when you're in pain and you're in struggle you you always got to know how to shift you always got to know how to shift on the enemy because the enemy loves targets that aren't moving the enemy loves somebody who's not moving they're just stagnant they're in the same place that depression they're in the same place of pain they just staying still they don't want to come to church they don't want to show up to church because they feel like they got to put on their best suit to come to church I came to tell you better come to church when you're going through it because that's where God wants to meet you at your lowest place that's where God wants to touch you and job it's going through it this is what he says but he shifts he's got his brokenness in one hand his loss his pain and then he's got his praise in the other there's something powerful about this because God's not mad at you that you're upset and you're disappointed God's not mad at you but that that you feel that pain in that loss you don't got to be perfect he just wants you to praise your way through it sometimes and Joe says this my family is gone and my close friends have forgotten me my servants and maids consider me a stranger I'm like a foreigner to them when I call my servant he doesn't come I have to plead with him my breath is repulsive to my wife come on I can relate with that one in the morning time when I stand to speak they turn their backs on me my close friends detest me those I love turned against me I have been reduced to skin and bones and have escaped death by the skin of my teeth here's the shift everybody say shift then he says but as for me I know that my redeemer lives and he will stand upon the earth at last and after my body is gone yet in my body I will see God I will see him for myself yes I will see him with my own eyes brokenness in one hand praise in the other depression in one hand worship in the other loss you're not catching and somebody better get there lost in one hand and your worships in the other you got your brokenness on one side of you in one breath you're complaining but in the next breath I'll lift up the name of God despite my struggle despite my downfall despite my situation because he's good sometimes God will bring you to a place where it's just you and him job's talking about how alone he feels but sometimes that's the best place cuz it's just you and God and you don't got no choice but to see him face to face then we jump to the end we jump to the second half everybody say the second half job 42:10 and we skim through a lot of different parts of this story for times sake then it says when Joel prayed for his friends when job prayed for his friends everybody say servanthood when Joel prayed for his friends that is when the Lord restored job's fortunes can I tell you that your breakthrough isn't found in you complaining can I tell you that your breakthrough is found in service the Bible says that job's life jobs blessings his fortune everything he had before came back to him when he prayed for his friends when he stopped focusing on his situation and he started saying how can I serve because your blessing and your breakthrough and your coming out of the storm is found in your service it's found in how can I pray for you let me see that how can I pray for you this is where your breakthrough is found right here it's in the Bible Joe it just happened jobs life was restored when he served and started praying for his friends see many of us we think when we're going through it we're supposed to stop ministering when we're going through it a lot of us think we're supposed to stop preaching when we feel depressed we feel anxiety a lot of us think we're supposed to stop serving because you're not at your best that's alive from the pits of hell the Bible says that when job got a towel and job started to pray for his friends how can I pray for you how can I open this door for you where do you need me to serve Bishop I might be depressed right now but where do you need me to serve I might be broken right now but where do you need me to serve see job's breakthrough wasn't found in staying still jobs breakthrough was found in helping somebody else get there's your breakthroughs found in helping somebody else get their breakthrough we think we're supposed to stop ministry we think we're just supposed to stay still you know I'm not worthy I'm not worthy to preach the gospel I'm telling you some of your greatest messages will be birthed in your greatest pain some of your greatest purposes will be birthed in your greatest pain I'm telling you right now some of your greatest victories will come when you're at your lowest because his strength is made perfect in your weakness I love this part here we go so after he prays for his friends he gets his breakthrough the Lord restores his fortune then he says so the Lord blessed job in the second half of his life can I get Anthony up here on the piano as we close out so the Lord blessed job in the second half of his life everybody say the second half I came somebody to tell I came to tell somebody stay the course you got a second half left in you see see what the devil did wrong you know what the devil did wrong is he didn't account for your second half see see he didn't account for your second half he didn't know that at halftime you were gonna make some adjustments he didn't know that at halftime you were gonna praise in the locker room he didn't know at halftime you were about to worship when nobody else was looking and you were gonna come out in the third quarter and you were gonna show the devil what's up in the fourth quarter and you were gonna come out in the second half devil you didn't account for the second half of my life I might have been broken in the first half I lost some things but I got a second half left in me I'm a second half Christian I'm a second half Christian I get hit in the first quarter got hit in the second quarter but I'm not stopping I got the second half left in me for now after the struggle God blessed him job with 14,000 sheep six thousand camels one thousand team of oxen one thousand female donkeys let me tell you what job had in the beginning of the story before the trial before God signed him up for truck trouble job had seven thousand sheep he had three thousand camels he had five hundred teams of oxen but God doubled him up somebody say this morning I'm about to double up we serve a god of detail he doesn't miss a thing and God restored everything that job lost anymore I'm about to double up Joe came out with devil somebody say that to you so I'm about to double up because I went through too much pain already I've been broken for too long and so I see God breaking me through the storm and I'm about to double up after after this storm so you know the devil forgot the devil forgot that after the struggle that he puts you through after the pain that he puts you through you were about to walk out with double the joy you were about to walk out with double the peace you were about to walk out with double the anointing you were about to walk out with double the integrity you are about to walk out with double the purpose you were about to walk out with double the inspiration I'm about to double up this morning you got a second half left in you I came to preach somebody you got a second half left in you what if Joe would it gave up in the middle of the struggle what if Joe would have threw in the towel no he had to make it to the second half and it says joke at the end of his life the Lord blessed job and he gave him he gave him children he gave him his sons back gave him his daughters back and then check this part out he also gave job seven more sons and three more daughters and in all the land no woman were as lovely keyword lovely as the daughters of job but wait joke just walked through the ugliest season of his life but gods like yeah but I'm producing something lovely out of it no no god I just walked through the darkest time of my life and gods like yeah but I'm producing something bright out of it no guy you'd understand I just walked through the most depressing time in my life god it's like I'm producing double joy for all of that because God will always produce great things in the middle of fire man Joseph got put into a prison but it led to his promotion David Shai it led to him being King meshach Shadrach and Abednego the fire it was just a setup for God to perform a miracle it was just a setup for God to perform a miracle so if your situation looks impossible this morning it's just a setup for God to show off it's just a setup for God to show his glory off through your life I'm telling you God produces lovely things in ugly places you know why God goes deeper in our life in the process in the pruning it's in the process it's in the pruning it's not when times are good that we grow it's in the process it's in the pruning it's when God cuts things out of our life that don't need to be there anymore that's where God purifies our heart that's where God purifies our life and that's where we double up and that's where God gives us new fruit the Bible says this God tests the righteous but the wicked he leaves alone so I came to tell you this morning if you're being tested gods in it and if you're being left alone you need to ask God why because God always takes his soldiers to deeper levels but in order to go to deeper levels you got to go through a process you got to go through a prunie on a grape tree on a grape tree when you prune a grape tree you cut off a branch SAP starts to drip out and the branch comes off and SAP starts to drip out and God has cut some things out of your life in this season God's cutting some things out of your life but I'm telling you after he does at the end of the trial when you walk out of that season SAP's gonna flow out of you anointing is gonna drip out of you that oil is gonna flow out of you and it's gonna be greater than you've ever experienced before with every head bowed and every eye closed right now father God let's double up this morning double us up this morning give us double for our trouble god help us see that it's in the process it's in the pruning it's in the pressure that you refine us it's in the pressure that you grow us Lord if you want to come up here right now with every head bowed and every eye closed and you say you know what I want to double up this morning I want to walk out of this season and I want to see what God is done right now with every head bowed and every eye closed I want you to come up here go ahead and stand up and come up here if you want to double up this morning I want to double portion God I want a double portion of joy I want a double portion with love I want a double portion of peace I want a double portion of your gray sky and just declare right now I'm about to double love declare it over yourself I'm about to double up tell God say God I'm about to double up I know you're gonna double me up God I know you're gonna restore everything that was broken I know you're gonna restore everything that the devil stole from me you see you thought that God missed some things you thought that when you went through the trial you lost some things and God forgot about them I'm here to tell you he remembers it all he's a God of detail and he's gonna restore everything that the devil stole from you [Music] halleluyah halleluyah I'm restoring your children he's restoring somebody's children this morning he's restoring somebody's children this morning he's restoring your children this

deeper you're about to double up this morning God's gonna double you up this morning father God we love you we praise you this morning we say that we say yes to the process we say yes to the pruning and we say yes to the trials and the tribulation because it's where you multiply us and it's where you expand us and it's where you grow us in the mighty name of Jesus make some noise this morning if
