Скачать или смотреть BISHOP JOEL R. PEEBLES | 3 SURVIVAL LESSONS FROM BISHOP JAMES & APOSTLE BETTY PEEBLES

0:00 – Introduction: Honoring the Legacy
Bishop Joel R. Peebles begins by honoring the legacy of Bishop James and Apostle Betty Peebles.
He emphasizes the importance of passing the mantle from one generation to the next.
The speaker highlights the value of learning from the wisdom of elders and those who came before us.

2:30 – The Wisdom of Ancestors
The sermon delves into the idea that the wisdom of ancestors is "underutilized" not outdated.
Bishop Peebles shares how listening to parents can prevent mistakes in relationships and life.
He stresses the importance of transferring the anointing from the old to the new generation.

5:15 – Surviving Crazy Seasons
The speaker addresses the current "crazy season" and political disenfranchisement, noting that past generations faced similar challenges.
He encourages parents to leave "mantles" (empowerment) rather than just "memories" for their children.
The analogy of Prophet Elisha leaving a double portion of his anointing is used to illustrate this transfer of power.

7:42 – Trusting God in Lack
Bishop Peebles shares an anecdote about Apostle Betty Peebles trusting God for more resources when building the church, despite running out of money.
He emphasizes serving "El Shaddai," the God who is "more than enough," even in times of financial difficulty.
The message encourages thanking God in advance for what He has shown.

15:23 – Performing for an Audience of One (Lesson 1)
The first survival lesson taught by the founders is to perform for an "audience of one" – God, not people.
Bishop Peebles references Galatians 1, discussing the struggle of seeking human approval versus God's approval.
He asserts that some people will never be pleased, and one should not lose their peace over others' opinions.

22:15 – Excommunication and Resilience
Bishop Peebles shares the personal story of his father's excommunication from the Baptist Church for allowing a woman (Apostle Betty Peebles) to preach.
He highlights his father's resilient response: not stressing, but getting "better" and allowing God to use her power.
The key takeaway is that what is attacked by others might be what God ordained.

26:36 – People's Opinions and Self-Esteem
The speaker stresses that people's opinions should not dictate one's life or God's calling.
He uses the example of Jesus, celebrated one week and condemned the next, to illustrate the fickle nature of human approval.
The message encourages knowing one's identity as a child of God, not based on others' perceptions.

28:57 – Staying in God's Will (Lesson 2)
The second survival lesson is to "stay in the center of God's will" – not moving behind or ahead of Him.
Bishop Peebles cites Exodus 13:21, where God led the Israelites with a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night, showing diverse ways of operation.
He warns against getting stuck seeing God operate in only one way and to be open to new directions.

31:49 – Discernment and Decision-Making
The sermon emphasizes that the safest place is in God's will, especially during decision-making times.
It's crucial to align with those God ordains and to be wary of those who try to pull you out of God's protection.
The importance of discernment is highlighted, encouraging pausing and seeking God's peace before making decisions.

35:16 – Impulsivity and Growth
Bishop Peebles addresses impulsivity in decision-making, which can lead to uprooting and preventing growth.
He uses the analogy of a plant needing to be trimmed to grow, relating it to "church hurt" often being about resisting correction.
The message encourages standing strong in difficult situations to allow God to mature you.

39:06 – Everything You Need is in the House (Lesson 3)
The third and final lesson shared by his parents is that "everything you need is in the house."
Bishop Peebles recounts a powerful moment with his ailing father in a wheelchair proclaiming this truth to the church.
He emphasizes that the church (and believers) contains all necessary resources – money, gifts, health – to find solutions internally, like the widow's oil.

45:18 – Conclusion: Trusting God for Provision
The sermon concludes by reiterating the theme of internal provision, drawing a parallel to Elijah asking the widow "What's in your house?"
It encourages listeners to trust God for provision and not worry, just as his father was "not worried about my soul."
The overall message is one of faith, perseverance, and relying on God's abundant resources.
