Paul said in 2 Corinthians 1:4, “The comfort we received in our difficulties, we can share that same comfort with others in their time of need.” Joel will encourage you in this message to live life outward. Who can you bless today? Who can you encourage with your gifts and experiences?Live life as a blesser, a lifter, a healer by using what you’ve been through to help someone else. You are where you are today because someone else poured into you. God is counting on us to be the difference maker in someone else’s life.If you’ll let healing flow to others and tell what God has done, speak life and healing, share your skills, talents and resources, then there’s no limit to how high God will take you.

Augustine dotcom flash, give hope to give a gift today, thanks for letting us come into your homes and if you're ever
area. Please stop by and be a part of one of our services. I promise you I will make you feel right at home not like to start with something funny and
heard about this group of elderly Ladys were way up in there,
eighties? They were,
up and down the freeway together when they were pulled over by policemen. The off
Sir said to the driver man
realize you're only going thirty five miles an hour. She said yes officer. I realize that
Why are you going so slow? She said because that's
the signs, he gonna laughed and said no man, that's the number of the points.
Why? This is how we thirty five bother,
What are these other passengers look so terrified she's?
then said, because we just got all how
Not if I have to say that, like you mean it, this is my Bible. I am what it says I am
of what it says I have. I can do
what it says I can do today
I will be taught the word of God, our boldly confessed.
My mind is a more my heart is receptive out
never be the same in Geez
May God bless you want to talk
to you today about from patient to position. We ve
had Tom's where we ve seen gods. Goodness we
feeling well. The medical report didn't look good, but God termed it around now we're healthy.
Are we lost a loved one? We didn't think we could go on, but God gave us strength in peace, and here we are stronger than ever. At one point, we were the patient.
We needed healing, we needed restoration. We needed favour, God
the way where we
didn't see away, were grateful that brought us. We know that was his goodness
the key is not enough to just be a grateful form or patient. You have to take it one step further and go from patient to physician.
You been he'll now go help. Somebody else get he'll. You broke the addiction
help someone else break their addiction. Your son got back on course
gotta entered your prayers, go help that mother, that's struggling with her son, encourage her speak like into her
let her know that God did it for you and he could do it for her
I didn't hear you just so you could be well.
As one reason, but not the only reason
he'll do so. You could be
but here
didn't bless you just so you could be blessed, he did it, so you can
become a blessing. He favoured do so. You could show other people favor,
he brought you through the loss he gave you a new beginning, so you could help others make it through their laws is not enough,
just bask in what God is done. Thank him for his goodness. That's fine, but you
responsibility too.
Someone else in that same situation,
you're? No longer the patient, you become the physician, a print. A man has had real bad back pain, spin on and off again for a couple of years, and he recently found a new
after that he really likes what made him so special is this doctor has head
same back pain that my friend had for over ten years,
he's gone through several surgeries, and now his back is perfectly heal.
Friend was excited because this doktor had been through what he's going through some things
you can't fully understand but taken a class or by reading a book. But when you ve been through
pay through the laws through the struggle that experience gives you a unique perspective that others, without it don't have, they can't fully apply.
He ain't. I don't know what it's like to struggle with an addiction or to go through chemotherapy
or do. I have been raised and abuse in dysfunction. I haven't been there. I can encourage you, I can to you on.
When you ve been through something you ve been through cancer treatment. You ve been through a divorce
a loss, a rough childhood.
In one sense you been given again, you are uniquely qualify
to help someone else in that same situation. You know
This line the pain, the discouragement, the battles they fight in their mind. You can help them in a way that others can. God is done it for you now, don't
a grateful patient, become a physician reach out to them during courage.
Carries more weight, you're speaking from experience you been there
pulsating Corinthians, the comfort
we receive in our difficulties. We can share
that same comfort with others in their time of need. We all
have something to gear, because we ve all been through things. It doesn't have to be something big, something tragic. You made it through that tough course in college, you,
tired and study that bring came over and help. Do you pray
and believe you are the patient, it wasn't easy, but God we don't your efforts and you pass that call
Now? Maybe you have a friend in that same situation: they don't understand it. There stressed their skills
thing you're, no longer the patient. Now you
the physician God brought you out not just for your sake,
not just so you can chat and he brought you out so
Who can help somebody? I shall take them
to mint or there
them. Your notes, your strategy, your tents,
in them and encouraging text do what you can to help the impasse
every one of us have had it
variants? Is they call upon us to be the position?
what it's like to stand in faith when your mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer
I know what it's like to lose a father, that
dearly, love unexpectedly underwater
like to step up in past a church when you don't feel qualify,
I know what it's like to fight for the compact sinner when a company much
eager and stronger, is against. You know what it's like to.
Nor opposition in critics and do what God put in your heart. God has brought me through the
stays he's given me strength when I was we here,
We endorse it. I couldn't open here my mother terminal cancer has given us the compact centre when every export said there wasn't a chance. I recognise gods, goodness in my life, but I don't just thank him for it. I'm not just a grateful former patient a become opposition practically every week, I'll talk to other pastors that are about to step up and passed a church, maybe unexpectedly, I'm no.
Sport, but I'll tell them what I know that I didn't feel qualified. I didn't have the experience, but God gave me the grace and he'll give them the grace to
people tell me often how, when they heard me talk about making it through the loss of my father, that's help them to me.
Through the loss of their loved one God told Abraham,
I will bless you and use,
be a blessing in furs. If you're not going to be a blessing, then you're not going to be blessed the two.
Or tat. Together, God is saying
Hale you if you become a healer, our free you,
if your help somebody else right that addiction I'll give you the compact sinner, if you'll help other people accomplish their dreams. He saying I'll. Deliver you from being a patient. If you'll make a commitment to become a physician, this not only about being good others, but the way you're going to keep your blessing is about being a blessing. The
picture says you and it will be given to you. If you are not giving away what God has given you, then that blessed
It is not going to continue in the way
it should,
This is a reason. Some people don't keep their healing not because you're not grateful is because they are not helping. Anyone else
If you will give away. Healy healing will always come back to you, God,
Did you form that addiction? If you want to stay fully,
go help. Somebody else get free keep.
No way what God has given you. My mother was here.
From terminal cancer back in nineteen. Eighty one for
over thirty year, she's been healthy hole and strong
One reason is she did
stay a grateful for more patient. She did
just go around Saint. Lord. Thank you that I'm whale that's the first step, but she went to step to and became a position.
For years, she's gone up to the medical center every week to pray for people that we're saying hurry, encouragement carries more weight, she tells them. I've been where you are. I've been
you know how I was told I had a few weeks to live, but God
The final say
every month. Here it like would he has different feelings services. She keeps give
in a way what she's been given. No one,
no she's, almost eighty five years young and still go and strong. Today. At one point we were all the patient
We were lonely. We were fighting an illness, we were.
Even for dream, work and hard being our best, and God made it happen. Now we're bless we're married. We have the compact centre. My mother is well we're grateful, but we can't
stop there. We have a responsibility to help. Somebody else get well help them get their compact centre, their promotion, their spouse
we ve switched from being the patient to becoming deposition.
Now we're looking for people, we can lift people, we can speak light there, darkness healing to their broken
freedom to their stronghold back then
needed healing. Now we are they here
we needed encouragement. Now we are the encouraging.
We needed a miracle now we,
Are there miracle if you'll let what God gives you
flow through you, then he'll continue
give it to you, but it's tempting to think I got to
pack centre, oh god, I'm satisfied! God you bought me
Victoria, I'm happily married! You bless me. That's cool cause us to get stag. If you're, not
giving anything away. Nothing
who is going to come whether or not you keep the blessing, the healing the favour, the influence depends on
you do with it when you're always lifting people in,
aging someone making their life better than before
things are always going to come to you.
This young lady that was raised in a dysfunctional.
Environment growing up
parents worn around and she was taken it
and a job and passed from past your home to foster home. It was a view
unfair situation that she had no control over by the grace of God. This loving family took her. They spoke life into her nurtured her, instead of becoming a statistic, bitter and angry today,
healthy and whole. She got married graduated from college, just three beautiful children she's.
Extremely grateful
She knows that's gods, goodness that was protecting her and bring in the right people, but she didn't stop with just being grateful,
she's constantly helping other young ladys that we're like her
entering them, having them over to her house, taking them shopping, making them feel valuable and
telling them that how they
raised, doesn't it
and who they are or where they're going. What's she doing being a healer she's, not just a grateful form
patient. She's not just say, look what God is done for me. She's gone on to step number two cheese
come opposition. No wonder
It continues to see blessings and favour. She keep
giving away what was given to her
One reason God could bless her
He knew he could trust her to take
the restoration and share it with others
he knew. She wouldn't stay, a patient. She would become opposition
I wonder, if we're
seeing Healy blessings, favour increase because we're not
committed like her to give it away
God is saying to us what he said to Abraham.
Bless you. If you will make a commitment,
to be a blessing.
Our story. I will even make the enemy pay. I will take what was meant for harm
and turn it to your advantage, if you'll do,
car and help restore others. I taught
a lady whose son was killed in Iraq while he was serving.
She was so devastated. She didn't think
could go on month after month of grieving turned into a year after year. Bitter depressed
green. She couldn't understand why it happened. She would hear me talking about how life is now
always going to make sense, but how we have to keep moving forward.
How you can't let us seize and mourning turn
to a lifetime of morning. No, that's not easy. I haven't been there but are no living depressed in bitter
is only going to pull down and make it worse.
When she would hear me say that God is in control and that he has new beginnings. She would get
angry. She would scream at the television joy
know what I've been through deep down? She knew
what she was hearing was true, but the pain was so real.
After six years of listening week after week, she finally
sided to move for. She got involved with a programme that helps veterans and people that have been wounded in the military. She started a chapter in our home town.
Said, I cannot tell you how blessed I am and how much
I have received from help in these families in need. She ended by saying
I want to apologize for scream and to all those times. I thank God. I couldn't hear it, but here's my vote
when she made the decision to help others. That's when her healing came
as long as she was bitter
We focused on how
Unfair life was nothing got bad. It's
She decided to become a physician to reach out
others. Then God
for beauty for ashes, joy and fulfilment like she never dream
Is God waiting for you to be a blessing, so he can
Bless you
Is he waiting for you to give away healing giveaway encouragement
make somebody else better, then
This lady he's going to take you to a level that
Never imagine Luke Chip
Twenty two Jesus said to Peter Satan
has tried to sift. You like we, but I have prayed for you that your fate would not fail
when you have termed again strengthen your brother.
Jesus was telling Peter that forces we're trying to keep him from his destiny, but he prayed for him and Peter was going to make
Then he said something significant when you have turned again. That means, when you come out of this
when you're on the other side, blessed free restore. What are you to do spring in Europe
either. He was saying use what you ve been through
Somebody else give stronger every blessing. Every healing every breakthrough
not designed just for you. It was too
Your brother, you would think Jesus would say Peter
when you get out, go to the Temple and celebrate call.
Some friends and have a victory party. You're free your heal, your blast instead he's
when you come out go strengthens
one God gave health back to my mother
You know what she's been doing the last thirty seven years strengthened in people
gave me the grace to step up and pasture. When I didn't think I could do it, what I've been doing, strengthen and others, whatever God has brought you
whatever he's turned around whatever.
These may happen that you couldn't make happen. That's an opportunity,
strengthen someone. Maybe you ve been through a divorce. Your heart was broken. You didn't think you could go on, didn't, look like they were in
good days up a hand. What you may not have realized is like with Peter Jesus
praying for you that your faith would not fail.
It's one thing to have people play. Employers have a brain, praying for you, a pasture.
These two rabbi, that's all good, but the scripture says Jesus
is it the right hand the Father premium for us, you wonder
how you made it through that tough time how you may
through that loss, how you broke that addiction that seem like it was permanent here's. How
the creator of the universe was praying for you. We ve all come through things. It should have
Does we ve all seen good breaks it? We couldn't make happen doors open that we couldn't open addictions broken that we couldn't brake on our own.
Now we're on the other side. What's our responsibility, what are we to do to strengthen someone strengthen that person that has cancer strengthen that friend? That's going through a divorce strength in that co worker? That's fighting an addiction
strengthen that neighbour, that's lonely! We should live on a mission amount to
linked in somebody today, I'm going to end
orange someone I'm going to help
he or someone gods brought me out: I'm not going to stay a grateful form or patient. I'm wounded become a physician
God bless. You now help
body else, get less God delivered you. Why don't you help them get deliver? And yes, it's
pay to stay a patient for a little while, of course, we all have difficulties and fight battles
we need encouragement, people to lift us
when we fall in curious
when, were we
our seasons, when we're a patient, but when God
firms it around
He brings us out now we're blessed we're healed. We meet the right
and we need to shift into a different man, now look
for somebody to shrink, I'm looking for somebody to bless. I have a story to share. I have encouragement to gear no more. I need something. I'm a patient, this, not just a grateful
God's been good to me. We have to ship into this position mode who cannot glass? Who can I help here?
maybe my son was off course.
Turn them around, or thank you for that now
another son. I can go after. Oh god, you get
thus the compact sooner you
away. When I didn't see away where
is somebody I can encourage with this, whereas a past or I can call, they didn't, think he'll ever give his bill
as long as you let the blessings keep flowing the encouragement being good people comforting them, help
and overcome. Then the blessings will keep coming in. The healing will keep coming the right people, the joy, the fulfilment, I'm not saying you won't have differ
all these, but as you give away what God, given you as you strength and others
you will always have the strength that you need
but sometimes we can live in grown, focused on ourselves, we're grateful. We thank God for his goodness, but that's not enough. That's not going to cause it to
staying the real test is are used.
Thinning someone are you,
can turn to encourage people are
you goin out of your way to be good to them. Maybe they need
to be in an uplifting environment. You go pick them up and bring them to charge. You
strengthen your brother. The truth is none of
got to where we are on our own some
I encourage you, somebody brought
the church somebody took
to teach you to train
somebody believed in you? They took a chance and gave you a position. Somebody praying bringing. It may have been a great gray
great grandmother. You ve never even met them, but they were in
from mental in you being where you are today they help to. Why don't
go out and help somebody else
giving away what God, given you
always come back. My father grew up in a family that didn't have anything to do with God. They were good people, but fate was
a part of their lie. In his teenage years he was party
stay out all night, not doing what
in school, but he had a
when named SAM, that was always too
can do him about the law. Sam would get us
cool early and white scripture verses on the chart. More
my father was so embarrassed, but nobody,
how many times he told them. No, he wouldn't
leave him alone SAM State after him.
At the age of seventeen. Daddy was coming home from a nightclub two o clock in the morning.
He looked up at the stars and begin to think about God and what he would do with his lie. Next,
and he called SAM and said he wanted to go to church with him
the service, the pastoral invited people to the front to receive Christ. My father wanted to go, but he was too afraid SAM said John. If you'll go
with you, they walk down the aisle together and my father gave his life to cry
fast forward. Some forty years later
Father was a successful pasture with the church of thousands known
round the world one night. He went to a fringe
across town to hear a special speaker. He arrived late, so we sat in the back.
He looked down the row and noticed this young man that looked very trouble. He was planning on speaking to him when it was over
but in the middle of the service the young man got up and walked down. My father fell
so strongly about it. He got up and went looking for him.
Looked all over the lobby and couldn't find you went out in the past.
A lot and searched. In short, he wouldn't there came back.
And and check the restroom opened the door? The young man was standing there. He said, I know you don't know me, but
has a plan for your life he has. Some
then for you to do, he sent me
after you to lead,
you know did he cares about you
and started weeping and weeping. He was
directed to so many drugs so depressed than he was planning on in
in his life that night but decided to go to church one last time by the grace of God.
My father. Was there that night was a turning point, a newbie
getting the young man not only got free, but he too became the pastor of Lord shirt.
My point? Forty years later, my father
still giving away what had been given to him. If it
had not been for SAM. He would have missed his destiny. My father wasn't just a grateful. Former
He didn't just go around and look what God is done for me. He became a physician,
live with this attitude, I'm on a mission SAM

track. Somebody else down
change there lie. I want
Strengthen my brother, no wonder my father lived with favour influence, gods. Goodness he kept.
Letting what was given to him from the others.
New. If he would bless my father, he could trust him to be able
seeing he knew if SAM would be relentless and tracking down that my father would live.
With that same attitude when it came to helping others. Can God trust you to be blessed
Will you pass it on and be a blessing
trust you with healing, will you become a healer
Any trust you with influence with new levels with freedom. We let what he gives you flow out to others. I believe.
