What are some of the reasons why you put this let my people smile series together. I like making people laugh because I think you can laugh and learn at the same time so I prefer to do that. I don't think we should bore people with the Bible and I enjoy sharing my sense of humor. It's a gift God gave me the preacher's kid. My dad was a crackup in the pulpit and I tell you if anybody ever heard him and then they hear me they know where my sense of humor came from. It came from my dad but I'm glad to be able to use something that comes quite naturally and use it just as a tool to engage people so that I can tell them the truth. Some of my listeners and some of the members of my church say you know is not unusual for you to have me laughing and crying all in the same setting and that's got a good because we need to be challenged but at the same time.

It's okay to laugh and I appreciate the fact the Bible says laughter is like medicine and I think we could all use some good medicine every now and then I couldn't agree more.

Hollywood isn't always the best place to go to learn biblical principles, but in this case the silver screen struck in our last broadcast Pastor Paul put us in the way back machine using the 1980s movie the karate kid to explain what it looks like to be a true disciple of Christ today on destined for victory picks up right where he left was joining numbers message you're in training later on that same is coming back for some pole position is that you are here when I left this time. Daniel is done he is angry he get to go fishing and he complains and he says for four days you been treating me like a slave you routing and taking advantage of me and have treated me like your slave man and he starts walking a few steps toward home. You called him back is on, here Daniel comes back and he says to him, show me wax all my shoulder hurts Miyagi, though some fixing them up is show me any start showing all the moves that he's been doing over the past four days, he called out each one so me wax on my cell so me and the floor so me paint the fence so me paint the house and doesn't try drill. Then he says again, show me sat on the floor and he showed them and Daniel blocks them which sat on the floor with paint the know it but he was preparing for warfare tell you who went down you listen to this message God as you know how to be because you been a lazy murmur and complain to spiritual and you will only taken the deal you've taken your Christian life and you same wonder thank learn how to beat somebody up tomorrow and get everything right now God is all in your life and when you are ready to quit God's series to tell you. You tell him what he no knowing what you're going through what you are and you have to learn that you made it.

You will see that God has been developing some expertise in your life. He's been teaching your hand toward spiritually he's been teaching you how to walk and spiritual, of equipping you with an anointing that's dormant now getting ready to come active so to say what God was your life all along and suddenly you have to listen to you and you'll be the sick and they will recover.

The people that made you, you will know requires obedience, no matter down and he don't care that you may not worried about you and you landed to. He's got bigger fish to fly, or you are healthy to bake sauté you got understand God is up to building world changers and you have to learn which are angry with God self to hit this altar and say Lord you will and I lose all to Jesus I surrender, and I'm going to trust you that when I need the anointing. I'll see it pop up in my life when I need your power have access to it because I been walking in your way. All you gotta do is follow God. He knows exactly where he's taking you and so you learn to listen very clearly in the 1984. The karate kid learned in the 2010 version they don't do is extensive. A training set of scenes but the one that stands out to me the most in the 2010 is when Dray, who was played by Jaden Smith. When Trey has his habit of dropping his jacket on the ground member that and he does it at his house and the mother said pick it up and he's, you know you just want to be disrespected. This will do it like what difference does it make a little put it back on. Eventually, sooner or later what the problem and and Mr. and his mentor sees that exchange one time. So when he gets ready to train them.

Jaden comes out to the area where the going train in his backyard and he takes his jacket off and drops it on the ground like he is used to doing in his house. So here's how Mr. Hahn starts the training. Unbeknownst to drink pickup jacket Jason what pickup jacket picks up jacket hanging up. He has a slow hook with their hangs it up. Take it down, take a day put it all puts it on take it off, takes it all through it now throw down pick it up pick it up, put it on putting take it off.

I'll hang it up to get off put it on through a down pick it up. That's what happened in the first and over go away were only about halfway through today's destined for victory message with pastor Paul Shepherd, senior pastor of destiny Christian Fellowship in Fremont California subscribed to Pastor Paul on YouTube to watch some of his best video clips more details.

Once again Pastor Paul Dray gets home from what he thought was the first day of training and his excited mother karate says anything today. Dray said nothing herein on this that the movements were teaching him because Hahn had them do it a certain way, here's the way you do it certain point concert is still something missing and Trey say what is your attitude made him smile when he's put the jacket on on the hanger on the when he picked up Jerry put up a little smile as Jaden, you know, over drink the character of the planet like marking the process but just want the right actions want to along with the right actions. All because God wanted me to tell somebody you but you got to dance.

Thanks and God will remind you that the Lord with God, with two God like he ought to be glad you are working with him that joy in the kingdom. Reality check know you are not done on your way to hell you know you had no capacity to please God, no right to eternal life. God the Lord in 1983 loss in 1983 with absolutely no reads called to his own child.

Now big to have it your way. You want to right right right right right right about all but made to the goal. She said did you learn anything. What you learn. He said some legal think you're in a nothing season of your life right now some you all think God is up to absolutely nothing you feel abandoned you feel unproductive you feel it's futile you feel you just getting up waking up going to the same motions. Nothing's happening. But if you are obeying what God is telling you to do in the course of day after day.

If you are obeying his word.

If you're reading his word. If you're calling on him, if you're committing your way to him. If you are allowing the Holy Spirit to convict you when you're wrong. If you are doing the little things that God is telling you about you nothing but God says you don't understand I'm training you and you got a battle coming up where you're going need three things I touch in order to win the battle. Apprenticeship has to do with commitment, obedience, then it has to do with mastery. The goal of an apprenticeship is to become a master in the result of commitment and obedience is always mastery.

What you need to understand is if you fully commit and if you fully obey, you will become a master, you will become what God is making you to be kind of tell somebody now pretty good deal of feet. God's plan is for you to no longer suffered the feet in these areas of your life what you been hit MSN up and down and sometimes you win and sometimes the devil wins and sometimes the flesh with no when I get training you in that area. You always conquer what you in that area because he will know it's no use. Tell somebody got a master obedience to him after he want to act on your job and in your career you want you to get so into the kingdom and into the lives of others. Spiritual warfare.

My family home you will come back when he gets through with you. When the shows up on your block around different training about the past that lady's house, we don't know we on the block right to we just Bear want to do what you story more yards to tremble and what the Bible said we are more than tired of being defeated. It's about time you get to being defeated the same thing like an alcohol control limit that nicotine telling me reading my family falling apart my life and God said, you fully commit fully obey your master. Make sure that the devil knows you're anywhere God's plan is for you to be living so that what we see in acts 19 applies to you and ask 19 Nissan Sustiva thought they would take up the job will try to cast demons out of somebody because they sold some anointed saints do it and they said I look like fun. So they went from a demonized person and is never too difficult to do that in the first century and especially in the 21st century, not difficult at all just go down the street and so the seven sons of Skiba looked at this demonized man and said in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches, and the demon looked at him and said that Jesus I know Paul I know about removes two different Greek words, no in that verse. The first one is Jesus. I know that meant personally.

The demon said I know him personally because when he hung on the cross, he stripped me of all my authority to act any old way I want to act in people's lives. I'm subjected to him and I don't like it but I know him. So Jesus I know. He said Paul I know about different Greek word admit the demon met.

I've never run into him personally, but when I was at the demon convention. One of the seminars was on 12 people you don't want to mess with. I took the seminar at the demon convention. Paul's name was at the top of the list. Paul know about. We were told almost full with him because he'll get you. You will leave so quick you will know what happened to you Paulette know about God's plan is for demons in your family and in your community and in your sphere of influence. When confronted to say Jesus I know, and her right there that man right there.

Go to destiny. I know about never met a borrower heard about God wants us together so that if you are a member of the chart charged by about destiny people God right now God's plan for you is mastery requires commitment all in requires obedience unconditional question God say is you do know question and the result is.
