You CAN Overcome This and Come Out STRONGER Than Before

• you can overcome, too. Now, in order to be an overcomer, you got to have something to come over. You can’t be a champion and you ain’t been in a fight. Come on now. You can’t be victorious if you don’t have an opponent. Tears are a sign to God. I need you. There are seasons in your life where you are mourning.
• There are a lot of things you can mourn about that create a season of crying. Maybe we need to adjust our theology. Yes, sir. Maybe we have taught enough on five steps to be blessed. Yes, sir. And and I got the blessing of Abraham. Nothing wrong with that stuff. Maybe we’ve done enough teaching on being overcomers and then champions and walking in victory.
• Maybe we’ve done enough preaching about how God will snatch you out. Yes, sir. Maybe we need to change our theology and adjust it to the point that we embrace a God who walks through it with you. God, hallelujah, who goes through the fire with you, who goes into pain with you, who goes into suffering with you. I couldn’t understand as a young preacher, I said, God, how can you use me to heal other people? Literally lay hands and see them heal and then bring me home to a mother with Alzheimer’s.
• How could I be so anointed? I remember leaving the church was still wet with sweat from preaching and going in the hospital and laying across her body with that sweaty body and laying on her and asked him to heal her and still she died. Yes, sir. My God. And the enemy said, “What you going to preach now?” Yes, sir.
• I’m talking about seeing God with you in suffering, walking you through the pain. And the enemy said, “You you you you couldn’t even heal your own mother.” Yes, sir. And how can you stand up in front of them and preach now, I said, “Not only will I preach now, I’ll preach your funeral.” Yes, sir. I’ll stand over top of her. And I couldn’t do it in my own strength, but I met him in the suffering.
