Well, God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes. And if you're ever in our area,

please stop by and be a part of one of our services. I promise you, we'll make you feel

right at home. I like to start with something funny and I heard about these four Catholic

ladies, they were bragging on their sons. The first one said, my son is a priest. When he walks

in the room, everyone calls him father. The second said, my son is a bishop. When he walks in,

everyone calls him your grace. Third said, my son is a cardinal. When he walks in, everyone calls

him your immanence. Fourth lady said, my son is six foot three. Has broad shoulders, is incredibly

good looking. Dresses impeccably well. When he walks in, all the ladies say, oh my God.

Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can

do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess, my mind is

alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus name. God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about the God who over rules. In the legal system, a court will rule

on a case and give its verdict. But just because you have the verdict doesn't mean it's final.

You can appeal that verdict to a higher court. If they see it differently, because they have more

authority, they can overrule what the lower court decided. There can be a ruling from a local

court, a regional court, a state court. They all see it one way. But if the Supreme Court sees it

another way, then all the lower court's rulings are nullified of no effect. The Supreme Court is

the highest authority. They can overrule any decision. In the same way, we all have things come

against us that look like they're permanent. Looks like it's the final decision. You'll always

be addicted. It runs in your family. You'll never get well. You saw the medical report. You're not

going to meet the right person. You've been single so long. Here's the key. That's the lower

court's ruling. That's not the final say. There is a higher court that has more authority.
