He was visiting churches across the nation. 49 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: While in the Northeast, he saw this gold phone on 50 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 3: the wall with a sign that said calls ten thousand 51 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 3: dollars per minute. He asked the pastor what it meant. 52 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 3: The pastor explained that that was a direct line to Heaven. 53 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 3: If you were willing to pay the price, you could 54 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 3: talk directly to God. He continued visiting different churches, saw 55 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 3: the same gold phone the same sign. When he finally 56 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 3: made it to Texas, he saw the phone, but the 57 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 3: sign said calls twenty five cents per minute. Intrigued, he 58 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 3: asked the pastor why it was so much cheaper. The 59 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: pastor said, you're in Texas, says now, it's a local call. 60 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 61 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: I am what it says I am. I have what 62 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 3: it says I have. I can do what it says 63 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 3: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 64 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 3: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 65 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 3: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 66 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 67 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 3: about your faith. In Mark chapter five, there was a 68 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 3: lady that had a bleeding disorder for twelve years. She'd 69 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: gone to many doctors and spent all of her money, 70 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 3: tried everything she could to get well, but nothing helped. 71 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: She continued to go downhill. One day there was all 72 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 3: this commotion in her town. She found out that Jesus 73 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: was passing through. She had heard the stories of how 74 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: he had healed a crippled man, how he'd opened blind eyes, 75 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 3: how he'd cured someone with leprosy. Something came alive on 76 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: the inside. She thought, he did it for others, he 77 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: can do it for me. She could have been discouraged, 78 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 3: complaining life is not fair, why did this happen? Instead, 79 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 3: she said to herself, if I can get to Jesus 80 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 3: and just touch the fringe of his robe, I know 81 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 3: I will be healed. The problem was there was a 82 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 3: great crowd surrounding Jesus. Thousands of people all packed in 83 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: seemed impossible. Most people would have given up and thought, hey, 84 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 3: it's not meant to be, not this lady. She started 85 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 3: making her way through the crowd. Excuse me, I need 86 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: to get by. Pardon me, I have to get up front. 87 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 3: I don't mean to be rude, but move out of 88 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 3: my way. People looked at her like, what's this lady's problem. 89 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 3: She was on a mission, she had a made up mind. 90 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 3: I'm sure she was weak. She had lost blood for years. 91 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 3: She didn't feel like it, but she fought her way 92 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 3: through the crowd, version said. She kept saying to herself, 93 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 3: when I get to Jesus, I know I will be well. 94 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 3: She was saying, I know healing is coming. I know 95 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: things are turning in my favor. It's tough now, I'm tired, 96 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 3: I'm weak, but I know I'm close to my breakthrough. 97 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 3: The reason she could keep going is she kept the 98 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: right thoughts playing in her mind. I can imagine she 99 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 3: was so exhausted she finally fell to the ground and 100 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 3: had to crawl the last few feet. Just at the 101 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 3: right time, she reached out and touched the edge of 102 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 3: Jesus Road. All of a sudden, Jesus stopped. Said to 103 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 3: his disciples, who just touched me? They said, what do 104 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 3: you mean is crowded out here. Everybody's touching you, he said, 105 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 3: in a fact, No, everyone may be bumping into me, 106 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 3: but somebody just touched me. Somebody drew the miracle working 107 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: power out of me. They believed healing was coming. They 108 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 3: believed their child was going to turn around. They believe 109 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 3: new doors were going to open. They touched me with expectancy. 110 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: About that time, Jesus looked at this woman. Their eyes met. 111 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 3: She was afraid, thought she'd done something wrong. Jesus smiled 112 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: and said, daughter, your faith has made you whole. Go 113 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: in peace. You were healed. Notice the key was her faith. 114 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 3: It was great that her parents were praying, her friends 115 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: were encouraging her, her neighbors were cheering her on. That's 116 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: all good, But there's nothing more powerful than your faith. 117 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 3: When you believe, when you expect things to change, when 118 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 3: you keep saying to yourself, I know the breakthrough is coming, 119 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: I know healing is on the way, I know the 120 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 3: right person is in my future. I know what God 121 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 3: started he's going to finish. Your faith can stop the 122 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: creator of the universe. That's what activates his power. There 123 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: were other people in the crowd that day that were sick. 124 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 3: Many people that had needs, no doubt, they bumped into Jesus. 125 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 3: Nothing happened, but this lady touched him. Are you brushing 126 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 3: up against him or are you touching him? Are you 127 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: living with expectancy knowing that He's bigger than those problems, 128 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 3: greater than that sickness, more powerful than that opposition. Or 129 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: have you become discouraged thinking it's never going to change. 130 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 3: God is passing by. He has all power. Don't just 131 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 3: brush up against him. Don't be passive and think you 132 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 3: could never accomplish your dreams. Never meet the right person, 133 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: never start your business. Do like this lady, reach out 134 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 3: and touch him, release your faith, believe that it will happen. 135 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 3: This lady was closest to her miracle when she faced 136 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: the greatest opposition. Would have been easy if Jesus would 137 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 3: have come just a few disciples, she could have gone 138 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 3: out and touched him without the struggle, without all the 139 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 3: people in the way. But she had to fight through 140 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 3: the crowd. The crowd represents broken dreams, things that didn't 141 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 3: work out, thoughts telling it it's never going to get better, 142 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 3: you'll never get well, never break the addiction. The crowd 143 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 3: can be negative words people have spoken over us. You're 144 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 3: not that talented. You can't accomplish your dreams. If you're 145 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 3: going to reach your potential, you have to fight through 146 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: some things. You can't have a week give up. This 147 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 3: is too hard. Spirit. You have to be more determined 148 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 3: than what's trying to stop you. You may get knocked down, 149 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 3: but you have to get back up again. You need 150 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 3: to have a made up mind. This disappointment is not 151 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 3: going to stop me. I'm not going to let the 152 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 3: mistakes I've made, the guilt, the regrets caused me to 153 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 3: shrink back. I'm not going to allow the bad breaks, 154 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 3: the people that did me wrong, the rejection, the betrayal 155 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 3: cause me to get bitter and stay where I am. 156 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 3: I'm going to fight through the crowd. Many of the 157 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: miracles Jesus performed, he laid his hands on people and 158 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 3: they were healed. But in this case, Jesus didn't lay 159 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 3: hands on the woman. The woman laid hands on Jesus. 160 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 3: Are you waiting for God to lay hands on you? 161 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 3: So to speak? God, this problem is so big, When 162 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 3: are you gonna do something about it? Why don't you 163 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 3: lay hands on him? Instead of complaining about the problem. Lord, 164 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 3: I want to thank you that things are turning in 165 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 3: my favor. Thank you that no weapon formed against me 166 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 3: will prosper. Lord, Thank you that you hold victory in 167 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 3: store for the upright. I don't see a way, but Lord, 168 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 3: I want to thank you. I know you have a way. 169 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 3: When you do that, you're laying hands on God. Your 170 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 3: faith can initiate the healing. Your faith can be the 171 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 3: catalyst for God to do amazing things. Acts Chapter fourteen. 172 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 3: The apostle Paul was teaching people. He noticed a crippled 173 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 3: man in the crowd. He'd been that way since birth 174 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 3: and never walked. Verse nine says Paul realized the man 175 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 3: had faith to be healed. Here the man was just 176 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: sitting in the audience listening to Paul, but he must 177 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 3: have had such anticipation on his face. Paul must have 178 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 3: seen something in his expression and expectancy that something good 179 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 3: was going to happen, like a little child at a 180 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: candy store. Paul was so impressed he stopped his message 181 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 3: and said, Sir, I can see you're ready for your miracles. 182 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: Stand up. The man stood up, and instantly he was healed, 183 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 3: began to walk for the first time. Like that man, 184 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 3: we should live with this anticipation that something good is 185 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 3: going to happen. Yes, we've all had difficulties, we all 186 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 3: have a reason to be sour. Don't let that talk 187 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 3: you out of what God has in say store. You 188 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 3: wouldn't be alive if there wasn't something amazing in your future. 189 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 3: Can your faith be seen? Can anyone notice that you're 190 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 3: expecting to go to a new level? Are you talking 191 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 3: like it's going to happen, thinking like it's going to happen, 192 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 3: believing like it's going to happen. God is passing by. 193 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 3: But if you're negative, I don't see how to work out. 194 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 3: I never get any good breaks. I've been in this 195 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 3: way a long time. You may brush up against him, 196 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 3: but you're not going to touch him. You have to 197 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 3: show God you're ready to be healed, ready to be free, 198 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 3: ready to be blessed. There should be an expectancy. It 199 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 3: could happen today. You could meet the person of your dreams. 200 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 3: This week. You could see your health turn around this month, 201 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: this year could be your year to go to a 202 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 3: new level where things fall into place, good breaks find you, 203 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 3: Promises you've been believing for suddenly come to pass. Well, Joel, 204 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 3: what if I believe for it and it doesn't happen. 205 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 3: What if you believe for it and it does happen. 206 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 3: When you live with expectancy, where your faith can be 207 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 3: seen in your expressions, in your attitude, and how you talk, 208 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 3: that's going to cause God to notice you in a 209 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 3: new way. God is always with us, he has us 210 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 3: in the palm of his hand, but faith is what 211 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 3: gets his attention. The scripture says it is impossible to 212 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 3: please God without faith. That's a powerful statement. That means 213 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 3: you can be obedient and have a sour attitude and 214 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 3: limited vision and not please God. You can give, serve, 215 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 3: feed the poor, and that's all important. We should do that. 216 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 3: But if you're not believing for things bigger than you 217 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 3: can accomplish on your own. If you're not expecting difficulties 218 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 3: to turn around, if you're not anticipating new levels thanking 219 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 3: God God that he's bringing promises to pass, then you're 220 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 3: not releasing your faith. You have to stir up what 221 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 3: God put in you he's passing by. Don't just sit 222 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: back and watch. Well. I wish I could break the addiction. 223 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 3: I wish I could accomplish my dreams. Why don't you 224 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: reach out and touch him. Lord, I want to thank 225 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 3: you that you're opening doors no man can shut. Thank 226 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 3: you that you're taking me where I could not go 227 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,479 Speaker 3: on my own. Lord, I believe healing is on the way, 228 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 3: Freedom is on the way, the right person is on 229 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 3: the way, Abundance is on the way. That's how we 230 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 3: touch God today with our faith. Well, Joel, I'm waiting 231 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 3: for God to do something. Maybe God is waiting on you. 232 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 3: This lady didn't wait for Jesus to lay hands on her. 233 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 3: She laid hands on him. And I realize God has 234 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 3: a perfect time. But the scripture says now faith is 235 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: faith is always in the present, and things may not 236 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 3: instantly change. We all have waiting periods, but our faith 237 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 3: should stay active. Our normal attitude should be Lord, I'm 238 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 3: looking for your goodness, not next week, not next month, 239 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 3: not next year. I'm looking for it today. Stay in 240 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 3: the now, live with the anticipation that it could happen today. 241 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 3: For several years, there's been something I've been believing for 242 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 3: ways that we can expand the ministry. Every day I 243 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 3: did what I'm asking you to do. Lord, I thank 244 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 3: you that it's on the way. I think you that 245 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 3: you're making things happen that I couldn't make happen. Didn't 246 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: see any sign of it. But each morning I went 247 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 3: out with expectancy, looking for God's goodness, knowing it could 248 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 3: happen at any moment. This went on month after month, 249 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 3: even year after year, no sign. How badly do you 250 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 3: want it? The lady in the scripture waited twelve years, 251 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 3: but she wanted it so badly she fought through the crowd. 252 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 3: Every voice said to her, stay home. There's too much trouble, 253 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 3: so much opposition. Her attitude was, I've come too far 254 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 3: to stop now. I may be tired, i may be uncomfortable, 255 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 3: but I'm gonna get to Jesus. When God sees you 256 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 3: doing what you can, believing when there's no sign, thanking 257 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 3: Him when you're weak, taking steps of faith when you're uncomfortable, 258 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 3: God will give you strength that goes beyond your natural ability. 259 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 3: He'll help you do what you couldn't do on your own. 260 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 3: I just kept believing, day after day, thanking God. Last week, 261 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 3: on Monday, something happened that I've been believing for for 262 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 3: over three years. I was so grateful. Then Tuesday morning, 263 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 3: something even more amazing happened. I couldn't believe it. If 264 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 3: that wasn't enough, Tuesday evening, something bigger than the first 265 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 3: two combined, more than I can imagine, happened. It was 266 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 3: like rapid fire, boom boom, boom, a flood of God's favor. 267 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 3: That's the way God is. When you stay in faith, 268 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 3: you consistently thank Him even when there's no sign. You 269 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 3: will come into these suddenlies where God not only surprises 270 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 3: you didn't see it coming, but it will exceed your expectation. 271 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 3: The scripture talks about how God will do things that 272 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 3: will cause our head to spend. My head was spinning 273 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 3: that night. Maybe you've been praying, believing, expecting for a 274 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 3: long time. Stay encouraged. It's on the way. You are 275 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 3: closer than you think. It's going to happen sooner than 276 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 3: it looks. There's no sign of things improving. Everything looks 277 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 3: the same. Get ready. God is full of surprises. He 278 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 3: doesn't always do things in a normal way where it 279 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 3: gradually gets better. He'll do them suddenly out of the ordinary. 280 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 3: You didn't see it coming. It's because day after day 281 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 3: wee kept a week. You kept touching him, you kept 282 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 3: expecting him, you kept thanking him. It was on the way. 283 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 3: You kept talking like it was going to happen. Your 284 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 3: faith is going to make you whole. Your faith is 285 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 3: going to break the addiction. Your faith is going to 286 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 3: bring you out of debt. Your faith is going to 287 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 3: help you accomplish your God given dreams. Talked to a 288 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 3: lady that started having problems with her legs. Her muscles 289 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 3: and joints were causing her such pain got to the 290 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 3: point where she couldn't walk. All the doctors could do 291 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 3: was give her medicine for the pain. For several months, 292 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 3: she couldn't go to work, she couldn't stand up. She 293 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 3: had to stay at home off of her feet. The 294 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 3: prognosis didn't look good. She didn't know if she would 295 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 3: ever walk again. One Saturday evening, she and her husband 296 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 3: were watching our services online. At the end, I always 297 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: ask people to stand to receive Christ. Well, her husband 298 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 3: stood up right there in the living room. She smiled 299 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 3: and was pleasantly surprised. He looked at her and said, 300 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 3: come on, honey, stand up with me. She was kind 301 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 3: of confused, said, what do you mean You know I 302 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 3: can't stand? He said, sure you can. Took her by 303 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 3: the hands and he helped her up. He held her 304 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 3: while we were praying. I can imagine God seeing her 305 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 3: there standing in great pain, being held by her husband, 306 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 3: but determined to take a step of faith. I said, 307 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 3: at the end, write this day down. It's going to 308 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 3: be a new day of victory. That seed took root 309 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 3: in her heart. She believed it was a new day. 310 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 3: In a few minutes, while she was sitting on the couch, 311 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 3: she felt the bones in her legs begin to pomp 312 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 3: and crack, and her muscles began to move. She said, 313 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 3: I can't explain it, but something unusual was happening. Strength 314 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 3: began to come back into her legs. Suddenly, all that 315 00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 3: pain was gone. Her husband had fallen asleep. She stood 316 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 3: up and walked into the bedroom. He couldn't believe it. 317 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 3: The next morning, they both got up and went to church. 318 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 3: She said, jel, I don't know what happened, but I've 319 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 3: been walking normal ever since then. 320 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 6: What was that? 321 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 3: Her faith made her home Just like that lady fought 322 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 3: her way through the crowd. When God sees you releasing 323 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 3: your faith, it gets his attention. That's what activates his power. 324 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 3: She could have been discouraged, told her husband don't bother me. 325 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 3: You know, I can't stand up, But as an act 326 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 3: of faith, even though he had to hold her, she 327 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 3: stood up. Can God see your faith? Are you doing 328 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 3: anything that says I want to be well, I want 329 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 3: to be free, I want to go to the next level. 330 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 3: That's what a man did in March chapter ten. His 331 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 3: name was Bartimaeus. He was a blind biggar sitting on 332 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 3: the side of the road. Jesus was leaving Jericho and 333 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 3: about to pass in front of him. When he found 334 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 3: out it was Jesus, he started shouting, Jesus, son of David, 335 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 3: have mercy on me. Well, Jesus technically wasn't the son 336 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 3: of David. He was the son of Joseph. Why did 337 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 3: Barbibays call him son of David? He recognized he was 338 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 3: the Messiah. A few chapters earlier, the religious leaders didn't 339 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 3: recognize Jesus. They thought he was a fraud. They were jealous, intimidated. 340 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 3: It's interesting that this blind man, a man that didn't 341 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 3: have physical sight, was one of the first ones to 342 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 3: recognize Jesus as the Messiah. When he cried out Jesus, 343 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 3: son of David, he was saying, Messiah, healer, deliverer, most 344 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 3: high God, Jesus stopped in his tracks. I can imagine 345 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 3: Jesus thinking, here's someone that knows who I am. He 346 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 3: knows I am all powerful, my goodness. When Bartimaeus started shouting, 347 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 3: people around him said, Bartimaeus, be quiet. You're causing the scene. 348 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 3: He's gonna get upset with you. People will try to 349 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 3: talk you out of your miracle. They'll tell you all 350 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 3: the reasons why you can't get wound, why you won't 351 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 3: break the addiction, why you won't meet the right person. 352 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 3: It's because they don't know what God put in you. 353 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 3: They can't hear what you hear. Negative voices will try 354 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 3: to discourage you. But when you get quiet, you'll hear 355 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 3: that still small voice saying, this addiction is not your destiny. 356 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 3: You're better than this. Living in lack, not able to 357 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 3: get ahead, is not your lot in life. Abundance is 358 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 3: on the way. Being depressed no passion. That is not 359 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 3: who you are. Freedom is coming, Joy is coming, Breakthroughs 360 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 3: are coming. God whispers in your spirit, dreams and promises 361 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 3: what you can become. The enemy will do his best 362 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 3: to drown that out, no matter how loud those other 363 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 3: voices are. Don't let them talk you out of what 364 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 3: God has whispered in your spirit. The scripture talks about 365 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 3: the secret petitions of our hearts. That's the dreams God 366 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 3: gave you at night. The promise is you haven't told 367 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 3: anyone about it seems too far out, like it could 368 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 3: never happen. That's God speaking to you. His dream for 369 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 3: your life is much bigger than your own. But these 370 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 3: people saw Bartimaeus as insignificant, unimportant. He's just a blind beggar. 371 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 3: He told him to be quiet, but Bartimaeus shouted even louder. 372 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 3: When Jesus heard him, he stopped and said, let him 373 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 3: come to me. Verse fifty says Bartimaeus threw off his coat. 374 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 3: This was significant in those days. Scholars tell us when 375 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 3: a person had a legitimate disability, they were given an 376 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 3: official coat from the government that gave them the right 377 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 3: to beg The beggar's coat was very valuable. That's how 378 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 3: they made their living. On the other hand, it labeled 379 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 3: you as a beggar, just as we recognize people by 380 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 3: their uniforms police officer, firefighter, a doctor. When you wore 381 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 3: the beggar's coat, everywhere you went, people knew you're at 382 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,959 Speaker 3: a disadvantage. You're not up to par. In a sense, 383 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 3: that coat gave you the right to feel sorry for yourself, 384 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 3: the right to be depressed, the right to sit around 385 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 3: in self pity. When Bartimaeus heard Jesus say come, the 386 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 3: first thing he did was throw off his coat. His 387 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 3: attitude was, this is a new day. I am done 388 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 3: feeling sorry for myself. I'm done wearing this label that 389 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 3: says disadvantage. I'm done begging. I don't need this coat anymore. 390 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 3: Changed his mindset. I am not a victim. I am 391 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 3: a victor. God is on the throne. He's bigger than 392 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 3: this problem. He has beauty for these ashes. He got 393 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 3: rid of the excuses. As long as you justify where 394 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 3: you are, making excuses as to why you can't rise higher, 395 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 3: why you're at a disadvantage, why you're bitter, then you'll 396 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 3: get stuck. I wonder how many of us are wearing 397 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 3: that beggar's coat, Joel, I had a bad childhood. I've 398 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 3: got a good reason to be bitter. Somebody walked out 399 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 3: of a relationship, I lost a loved one, I came 400 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 3: down with an illness. That's why I'm negative. That's why 401 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 3: I'm sour. Before you can get well, you have to 402 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 3: take off the beggar's coat. Can I tell you? We 403 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 3: all have a reason to feel sorry for ourselves. Everybody's 404 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 3: been hurt, everybody's made mistakes, everybody's had disappointments. Get rid 405 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 3: of the excuses. It may not have been fair, but 406 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 3: God is fair. He's a god of justice. He wouldn't 407 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 3: have allowed it if it was going to keep you 408 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 3: from your purpose. And I'm all for being compassionate, loving kind, 409 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 3: but I don't believe in giving people the right to 410 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 3: feel sorry for themselves. Not because it wasn't fair, not 411 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 3: because life didn't throw you a curve, but because it 412 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 3: will keep you from seeing the beauty for ashes. It 413 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 3: will keep you from being restored, healed, vindicated, promoted. God 414 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 3: wants to make the enemy pay. He wants to bring 415 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 3: you out better. Do your part. Take off the self pity, 416 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 3: take off the hurts, take off the disappointments. You can't 417 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 3: reach your destiny. Making excuses as long as you're wearing 418 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 3: the beggar's coat. Giving yourself a reason to be bitter, 419 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 3: feel disadvantaged, feel less than It will keep you from 420 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 3: the new levels God has in store. When barton Bays 421 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 3: took off that coat. He was not only leaving his livelihood, 422 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 3: he was leaving the negative things of the past. It 423 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 3: was symbolic. He was leaving the dysfunction, the bad breaks. 424 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 3: You have to be willing to leave some things. If 425 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 3: you're going to become all you were created to be, 426 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 3: you may need to leave bitterness, leave a bad attitude, 427 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 3: leave compromise. Jesus told Bartimaeus to come. He couldn't see, 428 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 3: but he started walking toward Jesus based solely on what 429 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 3: he heard. You may not see healing yet, but you 430 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 3: have to go by what you've heard by his stripes, 431 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 3: I am healing. You don't see increase yet. Business is slow. 432 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 3: Go by what you've heard. I will lend and not borrow. 433 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 3: Your child's off course, no sign of him improving. As 434 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 3: for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. 435 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 3: Walk by faith and not by sight. Jesus asked Bartimaeus, 436 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 3: what is it that you want me to do for you? 437 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 3: He said, Lord, I want to see. Jesus said, your 438 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 3: faith has made you whole. Go in peace. You were 439 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 3: healed instantly. He could see God is saying to us 440 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 3: what he said to him. Your faith is going to 441 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 3: turn things around. Your faith is going to open the 442 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 3: right doors. Your faith is going to bring unusual favor. 443 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 3: It's going to happen sooner than it looks. Keep expecting it, 444 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 3: Keep talking like it's going to happen. Go out each 445 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 3: morning looking for God's goodness. He's passing by. Don't just 446 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 3: brush up against him. Do like this lady, reach out 447 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 3: and touch him. If you'll do this, I believe and declare, 448 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 3: like Bartimaeus, your faith is going to make things happen 449 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 3: that you could never make happen. God is about to 450 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 3: open supernatural doors, turn impossible situations around, and take you 451 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 3: to the fullness of your destiny. In Jesus's name, if 452 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 3: you receive it, can you say him in today? I'd 453 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 3: like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the 454 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 3: lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 455 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 3: I'll repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll 456 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 3: make you my lord and savior.
