And I like to start with something 48 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 4: funny each week. And I heard about this elderly preacher 49 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 4: he was dying. He sent word for two of his members, 50 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 4: an our s agent and a lawyer to come to 51 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 4: his house. When they got there, he motioned with his 52 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 4: hands to sit on each side of the bed. The 53 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 4: men were very moved that they could be there during 54 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 4: his final moments. The lawyer finally spoke up and said, sir, 55 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 4: what made you choose both of us. The minister mustered 56 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 4: up some strength and said, Jesus died between two sinners, 57 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 4: and that's the way I want to go. Hold up 58 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 4: your Bible, say it like you mean it. This is 59 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 4: my Bible. I am what it says. 60 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: I am. 61 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 62 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 63 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 4: taught the word of God. 64 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: God. 65 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 4: I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 66 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 67 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 68 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 4: the anointing of ease. We all go through seasons that 69 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 4: are more difficult than others, seasons where we're working hard 70 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 4: but not making much progress. Maybe in a relationship, you're 71 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 4: doing your best, but it still seems stagnant. There are 72 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 4: seasons in our finances where it's one struggle after another. 73 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 4: We take one step forward, it seems like two steps backwards, 74 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 4: and if we're not careful, we'll lose our enthusiasm and 75 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 4: think this is just the way life is. I'm always 76 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 4: going to struggle in my marriage, Joel, I'm always going 77 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 4: to struggle raising this child. Life is just hard. And yes, 78 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 4: there are seasons that we have to stand strong and 79 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 4: do the right thing even though it's difficult. But don't 80 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 4: make the mistake of settling there and thinking that's the 81 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 4: way it's always going to be. Jesus said, my yoke 82 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 4: is easy, and my burden is light. There's something called 83 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 4: the anointing of ease. When you step into this anointing, 84 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 4: what was difficult all of a sudden becomes easy. Things 85 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 4: you used to struggle with are not a struggle anymore. 86 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 4: There's a supernatural grace, a favor that lightens the load 87 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 4: and takes the pressure off. A gentleman told how he 88 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 4: had struggled in his business. Month after month. It was 89 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 4: very slow, and he had been tracking every lead and 90 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 4: beating down every door with no success. Looked like it 91 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 4: would go under, look like he wouldn't survive. But at 92 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: the last minute, this new client called him. This company 93 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 4: actually searched him out. Today, they're his biggest account. Things 94 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 4: have totally turned around. He's having a banner year in 95 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: spite of the economy. What happened he stepped in to 96 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 4: that anointing of ease. What he couldn't make happen on 97 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 4: his own, God made happen for him. That one good 98 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 4: break took all the pressure off. Some of you, just 99 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 4: like him, You have struggled in an area year after year. 100 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 4: But I want to announce today you're about to come 101 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 4: in to your anointing of ease. God has promised he 102 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 4: will go before you and make your crooked places straight. 103 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 4: That means he's gonna smooth things out. He's gonna make 104 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 4: your life easier. You're coming into a season where things 105 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 4: are gonna start falling into place. You're gonna get breaks 106 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 4: that you didn't deserve, Problems that you've struggled with for years, 107 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 4: all of a sudden are going to resolve. Those promises 108 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 4: you've been standing on. You're gonna see them begin to 109 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 4: come to pass. You need to get ready and get 110 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 4: your fire back. You're coming into a new season. Maybe 111 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 4: it's in your finances. You've struggled for a long time. 112 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 4: Let me just declare it. You're gonna see supernatural increase, 113 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 4: supernatural opportunities, supernatural motion. The economy is not your source. 114 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 4: God is your source. He is going to open up 115 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 4: doors that no person can shut. He is going to 116 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 4: show up and show out in your life in unusual ways. 117 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 4: And what could have taken you a lifetime to accomplish 118 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 4: because of His favor, his blessing, his goodness is going 119 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 4: to happen in a much shorter period of time. You're 120 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 4: going to look back in amazement and say, how did 121 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 4: I get to where I am? God has been good 122 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 4: to me. He has outdone himself in my life. That's 123 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 4: the anointing of ease. I talked to a lady that 124 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 4: was having difficulty raising her child. It was one struggle 125 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 4: after another, and she said, Joel, I'm so frustrated. I 126 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 4: don't think we'll ever get along now. I told her 127 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 4: what I'm telling you. God is about to reward your faithfulness. 128 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 4: You have sown all those seeds you have planted, You 129 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 4: have watered. Now you're about to come into harvest. That 130 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 4: situation is going to turn around, not to where you 131 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 4: just don't argue anymore, but to where you're actually friends, 132 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 4: where you enjoy each other's company. It's going to be 133 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 4: a new season. I want you to get your hopes 134 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 4: up today. There are so many things trying to pull 135 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 4: us down. Every time you turn around. We're being bombarded 136 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 4: with bad news from every direction. And I realize that 137 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 4: life can be difficult. I'm not saying that if you 138 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 4: stay in faith you'll never have a problem, but there 139 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 4: is a peace that God can give you in the 140 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 4: midst of the challenge. To where you say I should 141 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 4: be upset, I should be losing sleep at night, but 142 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 4: I'm not the least bit worried. I know God is 143 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 4: still on the throne. I know he's working this out 144 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 4: for my good. He has given me the grace to 145 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 4: handle anything that comes my way. And I am not 146 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 4: a victim of the bad economy. I'm not a victim 147 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 4: of this sickness. I'm not a victim of how I 148 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 4: was raised, a victim of somebody else's bad choice. I 149 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 4: am a victor and never a victim. When you step 150 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 4: into this anoying of ease. You don't drag around, discourage, despondent. 151 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 4: You're in faith, hope, and believe in expecting. That's when 152 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 4: God will show up and make your crooked places straight. 153 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 4: That's when you'll look up and say, you know what, 154 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 4: I don't struggle in this area anymore. God took the 155 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 4: pressure off. Things are starting to fall into place. You 156 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 4: may not be there just yet, but every day you 157 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 4: need to say, Father, thank you that I'm coming into 158 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 4: that anointing of ease. Thank you that you're fighting my 159 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 4: battles for me, making my rough places smooth, giving me 160 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 4: the desires of my heart. This is what David did. 161 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 4: He declared it in Psalm twenty three, verse five. God 162 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 4: anoints my head with oil. You know what oil does. 163 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 4: It makes things flow. Whenever there's friction, something gets stuck, 164 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 4: you put oil on it to lubricate it, to make 165 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 4: it more fluid. That's what God is doing for each 166 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 4: one of you. He anoints your head with oil. When 167 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 4: he does that, Notice what happens, David said, Because God 168 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 4: annoys me, because I walk in his favor, surely goodness 169 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 4: and mercy will follow me everywhere I go. That means 170 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 4: things are gonna be easier. People are gonna go out 171 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 4: of their way to be good to you for no reason. 172 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 4: You're gonna have creativity, wisdom, good ideas. You don't even 173 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 4: know where it came from. It's because of the oil 174 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 4: God put on your life. It represents his annoying. When 175 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 4: you're all oiled up, somebody offends you, it's no big deal. 176 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 4: It can't stick. It flows right off. That oil will 177 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 4: help you to flow through the traffic without getting upset. 178 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 4: Remember that when you leave today, God's annoying on your 179 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 4: life will cause the right doors to open. It will 180 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 4: bring the right people across your path. It will make 181 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 4: things go smoother. Every morning before you leave the house, 182 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 4: just like some times you put on sunscreen, you need 183 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 4: to put on the oil of God's goodness. Just say, Father, 184 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 4: thank you for your favor in my life today. Thank 185 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 4: you for causing me to be at the right place 186 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 4: at the right time. Thank you for your wisdom to 187 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 4: make good decisions, your grace to handle any challenge, your 188 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 4: strength to overcome any adversity, and your faith to believe 189 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 4: for big things. When you get in agreement with God 190 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 4: like that, you start declaring his favor his promises over 191 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 4: your life. Then you won't drag through the day down 192 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 4: and defeate it. You won't always be getting the short 193 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 4: end of the stick. It says your cup will run over. 194 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 4: That means instead of always being worn out, you'll run 195 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 4: over with energy, run over with good ideas, run over 196 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 4: with divine health, run over in your finances, run over 197 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 4: with joy. You will run over with God's blessings and favor. 198 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 4: I believe today I am looking at running over people. 199 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 4: The other day, I was leaving a hotel early in 200 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 4: the morning, and I was traveling by myself that day. 201 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 4: I usually travel with the team, but I was all alone, 202 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 4: and I had a whole lot of luggage to carry. 203 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 4: I was pulling a bag, and I had my suit 204 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 4: bag and I had a folder under my arm, plus 205 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 4: I had my computer bag. I just walked out of 206 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 4: the hotel room, headed down the hall, and I was 207 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 4: making it okay, but it was a little bit of 208 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,599 Speaker 4: a struggle to carry all that, And about fifteen or 209 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 4: twenty steps down the way, a young man came up 210 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 4: out of nowhere. He worked there, and he said, sir, 211 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 4: let me get that for you. He didn't take part 212 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 4: of it he took all of it. He would let 213 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 4: me carry one bag. We got up about fifty feet 214 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 4: to the elevators, and it was very crowded. It looked 215 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 4: like a convention had just let out. He said, follow me. 216 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 4: He took me to a service elevator. We didn't have 217 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 4: to wait one minute. I got to the airport and 218 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 4: the line for security was very long, looked like it 219 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 4: could easily take twenty or thirty minutes. And I was 220 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 4: standing there, just minding my own business, and this gentleman 221 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 4: came up, wearing a badge, and he said, follow me. 222 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 4: I didn't know if I was in trouble or if 223 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 4: this was the favor of God. He took my bags 224 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 4: through security for me. He called a cart and drove 225 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 4: me to my gate himself. I never asked him to 226 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 4: do it, didn't even know who he was. I got 227 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 4: home later that evening, sat down in my favorite green chair. 228 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 4: About that time, Victoria bought my dinner on a tray. 229 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 4: I knew at that moment the day of miracles was 230 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 4: not over. What was that the anoying of these god 231 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 4: going before me, making crooked places straight, causing people to 232 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 4: wanna be good to me. I know some people say, oh, Joel, 233 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 4: God's got bigger things to deal with than me getting 234 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 4: through the airport. He's got bigger things to deal with 235 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 4: than somebody helping me with my luggage or me getting 236 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 4: a good parking spot. You don't understand. You are God's 237 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 4: biggest deal. You are the apple of his eye. You 238 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 4: are his most prized possession. Don't tell anybody, but you 239 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 4: are God's favorite child. The other day, our daughter Alexandra 240 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 4: came up to me. She's ten years old now, and 241 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 4: she said, Dad, can I have ten dollars to go 242 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 4: to the movies? I said yes, get it off my 243 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 4: dresser in the closet. She said thanks and went in 244 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 4: the other direction. I said, aren't you going to get it? 245 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 4: She smiled and said I already did. She said I 246 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 4: knew you would say yes, and that made me glad. 247 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 4: I thought, I like her confidence. I love the fact 248 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 4: that she knows I want to be good to her. 249 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 4: You may not realize it, but God has already said 250 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 4: yes to his promises. You don't have to beg God 251 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 4: to be good to you. You don't have to beg 252 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 4: God to help you. God wants to help you. The 253 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 4: scripture says all of His promises are yes and amen. 254 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 4: You need to go out every day knowing that God 255 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 4: wants to help you driving through the traffic. He wants 256 00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 4: to help you shopping at the grocery store, raising your children, 257 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 4: dealing with that problem at work. Start thinking him every 258 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 4: day for that anointing of ease. I think about a 259 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 4: young lady in the scripture. Her name was Ruth. She'd 260 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: had a very difficult life. Her husband and brother in 261 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 4: law were killed on the same day in a battle. 262 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 4: Ruth was discouraged, forlorn, upset, didn't look like she had 263 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 4: much of a future. She moved to another country with 264 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 4: her mother in law, Naomi. Now she was a stranger 265 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 4: in a foreign land. She was seen there as second class. 266 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 4: She wasn't really accepted. They had no food, no money. 267 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 4: Every day was a struggle to survive, and Ruth could 268 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 4: have easily gotten bitter, gotten discouraged, and thought life is 269 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 4: not fair. This is so difficult, God, why did this 270 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 4: happen to me? No, there was something different about Ruth. 271 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 4: She knew that God was still in control. She knew, 272 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 4: like little Alexandra, that her heavenly father had already said yes, 273 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 4: there was still something great in her future, and every 274 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 4: morning Ruth would go out into the fields and pick 275 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 4: up the leftover wheat that the reapers had missed. This 276 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 4: is how she and Naomi survived off the leftovers. It 277 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 4: was a constant struggle. But one day the owner of 278 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 4: that field, his name was Boaz. He was the wealthiest 279 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 4: man in the area. He noticed Ruth. He didn't really 280 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 4: know much about her, but for some reason he had 281 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 4: a desire to be good to her. He told his 282 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 4: workers to leave handfuls of wheat on purpose for Ruth. 283 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 4: The next morning, when she went out, Ruth had more 284 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 4: wheat than she could handle. It wasn't a struggle anymore, 285 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 4: I can imagine. Naomi said, Ruth, how did you get 286 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 4: back so quickly today? And where did you get all 287 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 4: this wheat? Ruth said, I don't know. It was just 288 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 4: laying in my path. I just stumbled across it. What 289 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 4: happened in to that anointing of ease, she began to 290 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 4: get unusual blessings. This was favor that she didn't really 291 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 4: have to work for, favor that she didn't necessarily deserve. 292 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 4: Just like Ruth in your future, God has left you 293 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 4: handfuls on purpose. He's already spoken to the right people 294 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 4: to bless you. He's already talked to your boas is. 295 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 4: You don't have to worry. Your life is not going 296 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 4: to be a constant struggle. Yes, there are seasons that 297 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 4: are difficult, but don't you dare settle there. God has 298 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 4: already lined up in your future the right breaks, the 299 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 4: right opportunities, the right people. That winter season will come 300 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 4: to an end and give way to springtime. One thing 301 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 4: I love about God is he likes to outdo himself. 302 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 4: He didn't just meet Ruth's needs. He didn't just make 303 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 4: her life easier. He did more than she could even 304 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 4: ask or think. Bo As the man that was in 305 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 4: charge of it all, one day he and Ruth fell 306 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 4: in love. They ended up getting married. Now, instead of 307 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 4: working in the field, Ruth owned the field. Instead of 308 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 4: going out each day getting the leftovers, she had somebody 309 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 4: bringing her whik. In other words, she had breakfast in bed, 310 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 4: and you too. If you'll stay in faith and just 311 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 4: keep being your best each day, you're gonna come across 312 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 4: your handfuls on purpose, you gonna look back and say, Wow, 313 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 4: God's been good to me. I never dreamed I'd go 314 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 4: from working at this business to owning my own business. 315 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 4: I never dreamed I'd go from teaching at this school 316 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 4: to running this school. I never dreamed I'd go from 317 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 4: being behind the camera to being in front of the camera. 318 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 4: What was that? A handful on purpose left there by 319 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 4: the creator of the universe. I remember one time I 320 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,959 Speaker 4: was in a difficult situation. I didn't know how it 321 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 4: was gonna resolve, and I was in another city, far 322 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,239 Speaker 4: away from home, and I really needed some advice, so 323 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 4: I called a friend of mine. He said, Joe, you 324 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 4: really need to talk to one of my associates. He's 325 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 4: an expert in this field. He'll be able to help you. 326 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 4: But he's out of town for two weeks. Well, I 327 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 4: didn't have two weeks. That was like a lifetime to me. 328 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 4: He asked me where I was, and I told him. 329 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 4: He said, you've got to be kidding. That man just 330 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 4: left two or three hours ago, and that's exactly where 331 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 4: he's heading. When he gave me the address, I found 332 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 4: he was going to be less than two miles from 333 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 4: where I was staying. When I heard that, I knew 334 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 4: God was still on the throne. I knew that was 335 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 4: a handful on purpose. Here we were both thousands of 336 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 4: miles from home. We could be anywhere in the world. 337 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 4: What are the chances that we'd end up less than 338 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 4: five minutes from each other? What am I saying? God 339 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 4: is directing every one of your steps. He has already 340 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 4: lined up solutions to your problems. He has lined up 341 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 4: the breaks that you need. I want you to go 342 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 4: out each day knowing that there is favor in your future. 343 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 4: There is restoration in your future. There is healing in 344 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 4: your future. There are good breaks right up ahead of you. 345 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 4: You single people, don't get discouraged. God has another Boaz 346 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 4: out there. He has the right person He's gonna bring 347 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 4: across your path at just the right time. Well, you say, Joel, 348 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 4: I've had a lot of disappointments. I got laid off, 349 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 4: or my relationship didn't work out, or I started a 350 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 4: business that didn't make it, and now I'm just trying 351 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 4: to survive. That's exactly the way Ruth failed. All the 352 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 4: odds were against her. Life had treated her unfair. But 353 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 4: if Ruth were standing before you today, she would look 354 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 4: you in the eyes and say, keep pressing forward. God 355 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 4: has another victory in your future. You don't know the 356 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 4: handfuls on purpose that are right up ahead of you. Friends, 357 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 4: God is gonna take you places you've never even dreamed of. 358 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 4: You are going to accomplish goals that you never thought possible. 359 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 4: You're gonna overcome some obstacles that looked insurmountable. You may 360 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 4: get knocked down every once in a while, but you 361 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 4: will never get knocked out. You are a child of 362 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 4: the most High God. He has you in the palm 363 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 4: of his hand. Right now. I believe God is breathing 364 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 4: new hope into your dreams. He's breathing new life into 365 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 4: your heart. He's breathing a bigger vision into your spirit. 366 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 4: One scripture says, it's not by our might, it's not 367 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 4: by our power, but it's by the breath of Almighty God. 368 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 4: And as God breathes on your life, things are gonna 369 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 4: get easier. Negative situations are gonna turn around. You're gonna 370 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 4: have wisdom beyond your years. You're gonna have a resolve 371 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 4: that will not give up, an attitude that refuses to quit. 372 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 4: Why is that God's breathing on your life. He's making 373 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 4: things easier everywhere you go. You need to imagine the 374 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 4: most powerful force in the universe is blowing in your direction. 375 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 4: I believe some of you, even this week, you're gonna 376 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 4: come across one of those handfuls on purpose. You're gonna 377 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 4: sell property that you haven't been able to sell. Somebody's 378 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 4: gonna offer you a position, a new opportunity that's further 379 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 4: greater than you ever dreamed of, Or somebody for no reason, 380 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 4: they're going to go out of their way to be 381 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 4: good to you. What was it? A handful on purpose 382 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 4: God breathing in your direction. I talked to a single 383 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 4: parent mom just recently. She told how it was such 384 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 4: a struggle to make ends meet, and she was having 385 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 4: to work long hours and she felt bad that she 386 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 4: couldn't be there with her children. On top of that, 387 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 4: she had no free time for herself, no time to 388 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 4: date or have any kind of social life, and as 389 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 4: far as she could see, that's the way it would 390 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 4: always be. She didn't see a sign of anything changing. 391 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 4: But what she couldn't see was right up around the 392 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 4: corner was a handful on purpose left there by the 393 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 4: career of the universe. The reason some people never experienced 394 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 4: them is because they quit pressing forward. They're always looking back, 395 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 4: wondering why something happened and why somebody left and why 396 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 4: they didn't get that break or shake that off. Get 397 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 4: up every morning, put your oil on. Thank God for 398 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 4: his favor, thank him that he's directing your steps. That's 399 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 4: what this young lady began to do. And one day 400 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 4: a couple that lived down the street, she barely even 401 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 4: knew them. They bought her a brand new car. She 402 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 4: was able to sell her old car, pay off some debts. 403 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 4: Now she doesn't have to work those long hours. That 404 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 4: one gift took the pressure off, She said, Joe, It's 405 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 4: just like a load has been lefted off of me. 406 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 4: What was that? A handful on purpose God causing people 407 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 4: to make her life easier. And some of you are 408 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 4: living so worried and so stressed about your future. You 409 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 4: need to come back to that place of peace. When 410 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 4: you're in peace, it's a position of power. You're saying, God, 411 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 4: I trust you. Like Ruth, I may not see away, 412 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 4: but I know you still have a way. So I'm 413 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 4: gonna go out each day being my best, being productive 414 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 4: at work, being a blessing to somebody else, not looking back, 415 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 4: regretting the past. But I'm pressing forward in faith. When 416 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 4: you do that, you might as well get ready, you're 417 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 4: gonna come across your handfuls on purpose. I read a 418 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 4: story about this little eight year old girl. She overheard 419 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 4: her parents talking about how her little brother he was 420 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 4: very sick and in desperate need of an operation. They 421 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 4: had spent all their funds, so much so they had 422 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 4: to move out of their house into a small apartment. 423 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 4: The dad told the mom the only thing that will 424 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 4: save him now is a miracle. The little girl got 425 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 4: her piggy bank and emptied all the coins out. She 426 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 4: counted them carefully, one by one. She had exactly a 427 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 4: dollar and eleven cents. She went down the street to 428 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 4: the local pharmacy. Now at the counter, she waited and 429 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 4: waited for the pharmacist to stop talking to this other man. 430 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 4: But they talked and talked, and she became more and 431 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 4: more impatient. She started rattling her coins together and scuffling 432 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 4: her feet, making more noise. The more she fidgeted, the 433 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 4: more annoyed the pharmacist got. Finally, he said, young lady, 434 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 4: I'm going to be with you in just a moment, 435 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 4: but I'm talking to my brother. I haven't seen him 436 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 4: in a long time. She said, no, I don't have 437 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 4: a moment my little brother is sick and I need 438 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 4: to buy a miracle. He looked kind of puzzled and 439 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 4: said you need to buy what? She said, I need 440 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 4: to buy a miracle. My little brother needs an operation. 441 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 4: How much does a miracle cost? The pharmacist brother stooped 442 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 4: down and said, honey, what kind of miracle does your 443 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 4: brother need? She said, I don't know, but daddy doesn't 444 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 4: have the money to pay for it, so I want 445 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 4: to use my own. He said, how much do you have? 446 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 4: She said a dollar and eleven cents. He smiled and said, 447 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 4: what do you know? That's exactly how much a miracle costs. 448 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 4: He took her by the hand and said, take me 449 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 4: to see your parents. I want to talk to them. 450 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 4: That man was a well known surgeon. He specialized in neurosurgery. 451 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 4: It just so happened that's the exact type of operation 452 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 4: the little boy needed. Long story short, He did the 453 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 4: operation without charge, and it wasn't any time for the 454 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 4: little boy was doing just fine. The mother asked later, 455 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 4: I wonder how much this operation would have really cost. 456 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 4: The little girl knew a dollar and eleven cents plus 457 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 4: the faith of a little child. What am I saying? God? 458 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 4: Knows every need you will ever have. He has already 459 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 4: lined up the right people. He's already lined up the 460 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 4: right breaks. You don't have to figure it all out, 461 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 4: how you're gonna get out of debt, how you're gonna 462 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 4: get well, how you're gonna survive the difficult times. All 463 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 4: you have to do have the faith of a little child. 464 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 4: Dare to believe that God is in control. Believe that 465 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 4: He's got you in the palm of his hand. Believe 466 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 4: that in your future are handfuls on purpose. Psalm one 467 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 4: six and the message translation says, it seemed like a 468 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 4: dream too good to be true when God gave us 469 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 4: the victory. Now God do it again, so those with 470 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 4: heavy hearts will come out laughing with armloads of blessings. 471 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 4: That's God's dreams. When you have a heavy heart, when 472 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 4: life deals you a difficult blow, God wants to turn 473 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 4: it around and not only bring you out, but bring 474 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 4: you out with a smile, better off than you were before, 475 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 4: with armloads of blessings. That's what He did for this family. 476 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 4: It was more than they could even ask or think. Now, 477 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 4: I don't know about you, but I've seen God do 478 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 4: amazing things. I've experienced firsthand. Some of those are loads 479 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 4: of blessings. When I look back over my life, I 480 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 4: can say with the psalmis, it's like a dream too 481 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 4: good to be true. Now my prayer is for each 482 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 4: one of you my prayers. God, do it again. Do 483 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 4: it for my friends. Show them your unprecedented favor, Pour 484 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 4: out your goodness, your blessings, your mercy, your grace. God, 485 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 4: let their dreams suddenly come to pass. Know this today. 486 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 4: If God did it for me, if he did it 487 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 4: for Ruth, if he did it for that little boy 488 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 4: that needed an operation, he can certainly do it for you. 489 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 4: Get up each day with expectancy. Have the attitude God. 490 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 4: I'm looking for my handfuls on purpose. I'm looking for 491 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 4: those armloads of blessings that You've already placed in my path. 492 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 4: When you release your faith like that, it's going to 493 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 4: lead you to the good things God has in your future. 494 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 4: Now I know some of you today. I have been 495 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 4: struggling in a certain area for a long time, but 496 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 4: I just want to declare it again. This is a 497 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 4: new day. You are coming into your anointing of ease. 498 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 4: You're going to feel a supernatural strength. God is going 499 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 4: to give you a new grace to face.
