Bishop Jakes wants to show you how God uses difficult; crushing experiences to prepare you for unexpected blessings. If you are faithful through suffering; you will be surprised by God's joy; comforted by His peace; and fulfilled with His purpose. Crushing will inspire you to have hope; even in your most difficult moments. If you trust in God and lean on Him during setbacks; He will lead you through.

- SHE'D LOOK AT ME AND SAY, "HI, BABY,"
- 00:04:00.596 --> 00:04:04.567
- "HI, BABY," AND I WATCHED HER FADE
- 00:04:04.634 --> 00:04:06.002
- AND I WATCHED HER FADE AWAY UNTIL SHE DIED
- 00:04:06.069 --> 00:04:06.703
- AWAY UNTIL SHE DIED IN MY ARMS, AND I HELD
- 00:04:06.769 --> 00:04:09.572

- OF THE CHURCH, AND I WAS WRITING A BOOK
- 00:04:28.491 --> 00:04:29.859
- AND I WAS WRITING A BOOK BY HER BEDSIDE WHILE SHE

- 00:04:36.332 --> 00:04:38.501
- WAS DYING, IN THE ROOM WITH HER, RIGHT BY HER SIDE.
- 00:04:38.568 --> 00:04:40.770
- WITH HER, RIGHT BY HER SIDE. YOU CAN'T LET GO OF ONE
- 00:04:40.837 --> 00:04:43.606
- YOU CAN'T LET GO OF ONE THING FOR THE OTHER.
- 00:04:43.673 --> 00:04:45.041

- IT WON'T GIVE YOU A LEAVE OF ABSENCE SO THAT YOU CAN

- THE PROBLEMS ARE STILL COMING. I'M TALKING ABOUT
- 00:05:08.131 --> 00:05:08.598
- I'M TALKING ABOUT CRUSHING, PEOPLE.
- 00:05:08.664 --> 00:05:09.832
- CRUSHING, PEOPLE. I'M TALKING ABOUT PAIN.
- 00:05:09.899 --> 00:05:11.367

- RELIGION. I'M TALKIN' ABOUT LIFE.
- 00:05:16.973 --> 00:05:17.673
- I'M TALKIN' ABOUT LIFE. JESUS DIDN'T SAY,
- 00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:18.307
- JESUS DIDN'T SAY, "I COME THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE
- 00:05:18.374 --> 00:05:19.308
- "I COME THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE CHURCH."
- 00:05:19.375 --> 00:05:20.143
- CHURCH." HE SAID, "I COME THAT
- 00:05:20.209 --> 00:05:21.244
- HE SAID, "I COME THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE LIFE,"
- 00:05:21.310 --> 00:05:22.712
- YOU MIGHT HAVE LIFE," AND SOMETIMES WE ARE GREAT
- 00:05:22.779 --> 00:05:23.780
- AND SOMETIMES WE ARE GREAT AT HAVING CHURCH, BUT
- 00:05:23.846 --> 00:05:25.047
- AT HAVING CHURCH, BUT WE'RE HAVIN' A TERRIBLE
- 00:05:25.114 --> 00:05:26.249
- WE'RE HAVIN' A TERRIBLE TIME HAVIN' LIFE.
- 00:05:26.315 --> 00:05:30.520
- TIME HAVIN' LIFE. WE KNOW HOW TO CLAP,
- 00:05:30.586 --> 00:05:30.987
- WE KNOW HOW TO CLAP, WE KNOW HOW TO SING,

- WE KNOW HOW TO SHOUT, BUT DO WE KNOW HOW TO LIVE?
- 00:05:33.723 --> 00:05:37.393
- BUT DO WE KNOW HOW TO LIVE? AND GOD WON'T JUST BE A

- HOW WOULD I GET THROUGH THIS?
- 00:05:51.340 --> 00:05:52.108
- THIS? CAN I GET THROUGH THIS?
- 00:05:52.175 --> 00:05:52.675
- CAN I GET THROUGH THIS? I HAVE NEVER HAD TO GET

- I HAVE NEVER HAD TO GET THROUGH THIS BEFORE."
- 00:05:54.444 --> 00:05:56.612
- THROUGH THIS BEFORE." I HAVE NEVER LIVED A DAY
- 00:05:56.679 --> 00:05:57.647
- I HAVE NEVER LIVED A DAY THAT SHE WASN'T IN IT--

- AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS 40, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
- 00:06:10.660 --> 00:06:11.093
- FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I WAS AN ORPHAN,
- 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.329
- MY LIFE, I WAS AN ORPHAN, A PREACHING ORPHAN,
- 00:06:13.396 --> 00:06:17.867
- A PREACHING ORPHAN, A TEACHING ORPHAN,
- 00:06:17.934 --> 00:06:19.168

- YOU SEE, IN ORDER TO DEVELOP REAL QUALITY,
- 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:31.180

- 00:11:52.234 --> 00:11:55.437
- GRAPE, I WILL GO BAD. SO IT IS THE ONLY FRUIT
- 00:11:55.504 --> 00:11:57.306
- SO IT IS THE ONLY FRUIT THAT IS RAISED TO DIE.
- 00:11:57.373 --> 00:12:00.943
- THAT IS RAISED TO DIE. IT IS RAISED TO BE
- 00:12:01.010 --> 00:12:01.377
- IT IS RAISED TO BE CRUSHED.
- 00:12:01.443 --> 00:12:04.146
- CRUSHED. IT IS MEANT TO BE STEPPED

- ON. IT IS MEANT TO BE BRUISED.
- 00:12:07.216 --> 00:12:10.619
- IT IS MEANT TO BE BRUISED. IF GRAPES COULD SCREAM,
- 00:12:10.686 --> 00:12:13.956
- IF GRAPES COULD SCREAM, THEY WOULD CRY OUT FROM
- 00:12:14.023 --> 00:12:18.294
- THEY WOULD CRY OUT FROM THE PAIN OF BECOMING WINE,
- 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:19.295

- IN JOHN 15, JESUS CALLS HIMSELF THE VINE.
- 00:16:02.117 --> 00:16:03.619

- IF THE FRUIT IS BEING VIOLENTLY DESTROYED, IT IS
- 00:16:47.896 --> 00:16:49.098
- VIOLENTLY DESTROYED, IT IS THROUGH THIS PROCESS THAT
- 00:16:49.164 --> 00:16:51.366
- THROUGH THIS PROCESS THAT THE WINEMAKER, ALSO KNOWN

- STAY OUT OF THE DIRT, YOU'RE PRAYING TO STAY

- TOUCHED BY THE FEELING OF OUR INFIRMITY.
- 00:19:45.707 --> 00:19:48.377
