I'd like to 55 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 6: start with something funny, and one day up in heaven, 56 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 6: God said to the men, I want you to form 57 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 6: two lines. One line is for the men who were 58 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 6: the head of the house. The other line is for 59 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 6: the men who let the woman be the head of 60 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 6: the house. The line where the woman ran the house 61 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 6: was one hundred miles long. There was only one man 62 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 6: in the other line. God said, men, I'm a shame you. 63 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 6: I created you to be the head, but only one 64 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 6: man stood up. 65 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 4: To make me proud. 66 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 6: He looked at him and said, tell them, son, how 67 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 6: did you manage to be the only one in this line? 68 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 6: The man looked confused, he said, I don't know. 69 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 4: My wife told me to stand here. All right. All 70 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 4: the men said amen, But here we go. This is 71 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 4: my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 72 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do 73 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 6: what it says I can do. Today I will be 74 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 6: taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess. My mind 75 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 6: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 76 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 6: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 77 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 6: to talk to you today about it's just a matter 78 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 6: of time. We all have things that we're believing will change. 79 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 6: We're fighting in illness. We're struggling with an addiction. We're 80 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 6: dealing with fear, depression, anxiety. We know what God promised, 81 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 6: that he would restore our health, that he would free 82 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 6: us from the fear. We prayed, We believe, but we 83 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 6: don't see anything improving. But what you can't see is 84 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 6: the moment you prayed in the unseen realm, the source 85 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 6: of what was coming against you was cut off. The 86 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 6: source of the fear, the source of the addiction, the 87 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 6: source of the sickness. Now you may not see any 88 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 6: manifestation for some time. There may not be any evidence 89 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 6: that things have changed, and this is when many people 90 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 6: get discouraged. But there will always be a period of 91 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 6: time where it looks like God didn't do what he promised. 92 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 6: The fear still comes. The medical report hasn't improved, the 93 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 6: addiction looks just the same. But what's feeding those things 94 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 6: has been cut off. May seem like it's still alive. 95 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 6: But the truth is the fear is dead, the sickness 96 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 6: is dead, the trouble at work is dead. Won't be 97 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 6: discouraged because you don't see anything happening. 98 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 4: It's just a matter of time. 99 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 6: One day Jesus was leaving Bethany. He saw a fig 100 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 6: tree off in the distance. He was hungry, so he 101 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 6: went over to get something to eat, but the tree 102 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 6: didn't have any figs. 103 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 4: Jesus said to the tree, may no. 104 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 6: Person ever eat fruit from you? 105 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 4: Again. 106 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 6: He cursed the tree, but when he said it, nothing 107 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 6: on the outside looked any different. The tree was still 108 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 6: just as full and healthy as before. I can hear 109 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 6: the disciples begin to whisper what happened? 110 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 4: It didn't work? Did he lose his power? 111 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 6: They had seen Jesus speak to a blind man and 112 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 6: heal his eyes. They had heard him speak to the 113 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 6: storm and calm the sea. But this time when Jesus spoke, 114 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 6: nothing changed. There was no evidence that what he said 115 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 6: had happened. But the next morning, as the disciples were 116 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 6: passing by, they saw the tree. The scripture says the 117 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 6: tree had withered from the roots. When Jesus spoke to 118 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 6: the tree, nothing happened on the outside, but on the inside, 119 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 6: down in the roots, the source was cut off. When 120 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 6: the roots are dead, the tree is dead. It may 121 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 6: still look alive. It may still have green leaves, still 122 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 6: have wide branches, but it's just a matter of time 123 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 6: before the outside catches up with the inside. It may 124 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 6: look like that sickness you're dealing with is still alive. 125 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 6: That anxiety just as bad as ever, the addiction just 126 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 6: as strong. You prayed, wondered why God won't do something. 127 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 6: God did do something the moment you prayed. 128 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 4: He cut off the source. 129 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 6: That addiction may look like it's alive, But if you 130 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 6: could see the roots, you would realize it's dead. It's 131 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 6: just a matter of time before the outside catches up. 132 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 6: That sickness may seem permanent, like you'll never get well. 133 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 4: Have a new perspective. The roots have been cut off. 134 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 6: Now, don't be discouraged because it still has green leaves. 135 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 6: You don't see anything changing. The Psalmist said, the strength 136 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 6: of the wicked is being cut off, and the power 137 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 6: of the godly is being increased. 138 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 4: Everything that's trying. 139 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 6: To stop you, you need to see that power as 140 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 6: being cut off. It may be hindering you now, but 141 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 6: it's not permanent. It's not going to last. Why it 142 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 6: lost its source. Every day it's withering. Every day, it's 143 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 6: getting weaker. 144 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 4: May look the. 145 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 6: Same on the outside, but on the inside it's drying up. 146 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 6: When Jesus spoke to the tree, there was no evidence 147 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 6: that anything changed. Maybe you're believing for something and you 148 00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 6: don't see any. 149 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 4: Sign of things improving. 150 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 6: You're speaking faith over your health, but the medical reports 151 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 6: not getting better. You're praying for your child, but he's 152 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 6: not getting back on track. If you just had some evidence, 153 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 6: if you just saw a little sign, then you would believe. Now, 154 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 6: this is what faith is all about. You can't be 155 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 6: moved by what you don't see. You have to be 156 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 6: moved by what you know. 157 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 4: Father. I want to thank you that the moment I. 158 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 6: Prayed, you cut off the roots. I know this sickness 159 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 6: is not permanent. 160 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 4: Healing is coming. I know this addiction is not how 161 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 4: my story ends. Freedom is coming. 162 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 6: I know this depression doesn't have the final Say Father, 163 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 6: I thank you that it's withering up. Some of the 164 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 6: things that you're concerned about. 165 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 4: God has already done. 166 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 6: You haven't seen it yet, But in the unseen realm. 167 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 4: Things have changed. 168 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 6: That anxiety you've been praying about, asking God to take 169 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 6: it away, it's already dead. That trouble at work. God 170 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 6: has already cut off the source. Now do your part. 171 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 6: Stay in faith until it manifest Keep thanking God, keep 172 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 6: talking like you're free, keep thinking like you're healthy. 173 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 4: Keep living like you're victorious. I talked to a. 174 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 6: Man that had struggled with an addiction for many years. 175 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 6: He said, Joeli, I asked God to help me, but 176 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 6: nothing happened. He didn't see anything on the outside. Changing 177 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 6: wasn't getting any easier, so he assumed that God wasn't 178 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 6: doing anything. 179 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 4: He lived with. 180 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 6: The mindset, I'm addicted. I'll never be free. 181 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 4: It's too strong. 182 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 6: He was waiting to see the manifestation before he believed 183 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 6: God was working. But faith says you have to believe 184 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 6: that when you prayed the miracle was set into motion. 185 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 6: You can't wait to see the evidence and then you're 186 00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 6: going to believe. 187 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 4: You have to believe first. 188 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 6: And you may not see any sign of it, but 189 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 6: deep down you have to know the source of that 190 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 6: addiction has been cut off. When you know the roots 191 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 6: have been cursed, you'll have a different mindset. Instead of 192 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 6: thinking maybe one day it will happen, you'll know it's 193 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 6: just a matter of time. God has already spoken it. 194 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 6: He's already cut off the source. Now all you have 195 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 6: to do. 196 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 4: Is walk it out. And I told him what I'm 197 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 4: telling you. 198 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 6: You may not see anything happening, but the moment you prayed, 199 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 6: God did something. Instead of thinking, one day I'll be free, 200 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 6: try a new approach. 201 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 4: Father, thank you that I am free. 202 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 6: Think you that this addiction is dead, that it doesn't 203 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 6: control me, that you've already put an end to it. 204 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,479 Speaker 6: He started living with the attitude that it was already 205 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 6: cut off. 206 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 4: He kept thanking. 207 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 6: God he was free, talking like he was free. I 208 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 6: saw him about six months later. He said, after twenty 209 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 6: two years of being addicted, today I am totally free. 210 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 6: Are you waiting for the evidence to believe what God 211 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 6: said about you? Are you talking yourself out of it 212 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 6: because you don't see any sign. 213 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 4: If you'll get in agreement. 214 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 6: With God, you'll see what he's done on the inside 215 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 6: show up on the outside. The source of what's trying 216 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 6: to stop. 217 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 4: You has been cut off. Well, Joey, it. 218 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 6: Seems like it's still alive, seems like as strong as ever. 219 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 6: Don't be fooled by the outside. Victoria was in our 220 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 6: backyard one time. We had these beautiful rose bushes. She's 221 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 6: got some scissors and cut off one of the roses 222 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 6: and brought it inside. 223 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 4: The moment she cut it off, it was dead. It 224 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 4: was separated from its source of life. What's interesting is 225 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 4: it didn't look dead. 226 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 6: It didn't look any different on the other roses that 227 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 6: were still on the bush. It was still beautiful, still colorful, 228 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 6: still smelled good. She put it in a vase for 229 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 6: a couple of weeks. It was right by our kitchen sink. 230 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 6: Still look beautiful, healthy. 231 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 4: But the whole time it was dead. It was just 232 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 4: a matter of time before it withered up. 233 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 6: You may have things in your life like that rose. 234 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 6: The sickness has already been cut off, the depression, the fear, 235 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 6: the addiction, the moment you prayed, it died, but it 236 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 6: still looks just the same. 237 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 4: You don't feel any different. Nothing is changing. That's okay. 238 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 4: That doesn't mean. 239 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 6: That it's still alive like that rose. At some point 240 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 6: it's going to wither. 241 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 4: You're going to see what God promised you. Now. 242 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 6: The scripture says, don't faint in your mind. 243 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 4: The first place we lose the battle is in our 244 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 4: own thinking thoughts. I will tell you nothing happened when 245 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 4: you prayed. 246 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 6: You'll never get well, you'll never break the addiction. You've 247 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 6: had it too long. Don't believe those lies. The roots 248 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 6: have been cut off. It's just a matter of time 249 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 6: before you see things change in your favor. We have 250 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 6: some friends. Every Easter they send us a dozen rose buds. 251 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 4: They come in this large box. 252 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 6: They have a long stem with the rosebud on the top. 253 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 6: What's interesting is even though the rose is dead, even 254 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 6: though it's been cut off from the bush, when you 255 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 6: put that stem in water, the rose will bloom. It's dead, 256 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 6: but it will still blossom. It has no life, but 257 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 6: it will still get bigger, increase and expand. There are 258 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 6: times when even though God has cut something off, it 259 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 6: will get bigger. Even though he cut off the trouble, 260 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 6: it will blossom. Be tempted to think, Joel, this sickness 261 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 6: isn't dead, it's getting worse. This anxiety is not dead, 262 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 6: it's increasing instead of decreasing. 263 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 4: No, stay in faith. It may bloom, it may. 264 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 6: Blossom, but it's still dead all through the day. Father, 265 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 6: Thank you that the source of this trouble has been 266 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 6: cut off. Thank you that you have cursed the roots 267 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 6: of this fear. Thank you that you said this sickness. 268 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 4: Has to go. 269 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 6: So Lord, I'm going to stay in agreement with you. 270 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 6: I know it's just a matter of time before it 271 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 6: withers up. When we were trying to acquire this building, 272 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 6: the former Compact Center, we had all kinds of opposition, 273 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 6: but after two years, we finally got enough city council 274 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 6: members to before us and we won the vote. 275 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,119 Speaker 4: We were so excited. 276 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 6: We knew that God gave us the building. But three 277 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 6: days later, a company that owned most of the property 278 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 6: around the facility filed up federal lawsuit to try to 279 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 6: keep us from moving in. I thought the opposition was over, 280 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 6: but it. 281 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 4: Was just beginning. We had this huge company coming against us. 282 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 6: They were the largest taxpayer in Texas, a big real 283 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 6: estate company. I was tempted to think, God, what are 284 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 6: we gonna do. They have more resources, they have more influence. 285 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 6: But I did what I'm asking you to do. I said, Father, 286 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 6: I want to thank you that the source of those 287 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 6: coming against us has been cut off. They may be bigger, stronger, 288 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 6: but God, I know you being for us is more 289 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 6: than the world being against us. Like that rosebud that 290 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 6: blooms even though it's dead, don't be surprised if opposition 291 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 6: blossoms against you. Adversity blooms. Giants try to stop you. 292 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 6: It looks like they have the upper hand. No, stay 293 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 6: in peace. Their source has been cut off. 294 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 4: It is not permit it. 295 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 6: It is just a matter of time before you see 296 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 6: the hand of God. All the odds were against us. 297 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 6: It looked like this building could be tied up in 298 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 6: the courts. For many years we were told that the 299 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 6: other side would never back down. But one day they 300 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 6: called out of the blue and said they wanted to meet. 301 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 4: We met. 302 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 6: They agreed to not only let us have the building, 303 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 6: but to lease us nine thousand covered parking spaces. That 304 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 6: two year legal battle suddenly came to an end. 305 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 4: You may have things that you. 306 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 6: Thought were dead, the addiction, the trouble at work, the 307 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 6: legal situation. But now it's blooming. It's getting bigger. You 308 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 6: think that your prayers must not have worked. 309 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 4: No, the roots have been cut off. 310 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 6: It may bloom, but it lost its source. What you're 311 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,239 Speaker 6: dealing with is only temporary. 312 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 4: It cannot last without the source. 313 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 6: That rose bloom looks so beautiful for a couple of weeks, 314 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 6: seems so vibrant and so healthy, but then it suddenly 315 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 6: begins to wither. You're about to see some of these 316 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 6: suddenlies things you've been praying about. 317 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 4: You believe that the source has. 318 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 6: Been cut off, but it seems like it's still alive. 319 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 6: You know, get ready that addiction is about to suddenly go, 320 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 6: That depression is about to suddenly stop, That opposition is 321 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 6: about to suddenly be defeated, that sickness about to suddenly change. 322 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 4: It may be blooming now. 323 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 6: That's a sign that it's on the way out. That's 324 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 6: a sign that you are close. 325 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 4: To your breakthrough. 326 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 6: You are close to a new level. You are close 327 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 6: to seeing freedom like you've never seen. When you walk 328 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 6: into someone's house and see a beautiful bouquet of flowers, 329 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 6: they can smell nice, they can look nice. You never 330 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 6: think about the fact that the flowers are dead, that 331 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 6: in a few weeks they're going to be thrown out. 332 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 6: When negative things are blooming in your life, like those roses, 333 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 6: it may seem like they're permanent, like they're going to 334 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 6: be there forever. 335 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 4: You have to remind yourself it's only temporary. 336 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 6: That sickness may be blooming. It looks so impressive. I 337 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 6: know a secret. It's not going to last. That trouble 338 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 6: in your marriage looks permanent. 339 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 4: Know this too shall pass. 340 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 6: Your child's off course looks like he'll miss his destiny. 341 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 6: Know the source of that trouble has been cut off. 342 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 6: May be blooming now, that doesn't mean that it's not dead. 343 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 4: God is already put an end to it. Now. 344 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 6: It may take a little time to see what God promised. 345 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 4: But it's on the way. 346 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 6: Don't talk yourself out of it. Don't get discouraged by 347 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 6: what's not happening. I've heard it said the enemy makes 348 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 6: the most noise when. 349 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 4: He's on his way out. 350 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 6: You think about how when Jesus told demons to lead people, 351 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 6: very often they'd let out a loud scream, they'd make 352 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 6: all this noise, all this commotion, when the enemy's stirring 353 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 6: up trouble in your life, making a lot of noise. 354 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 4: Your health went down. Finance is not good. Your child 355 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 4: is acting worse. Don't panic. That's a sign he's on 356 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 4: the way out. 357 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 6: He makes the most commotion when he's about to leave. 358 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 6: There was a lady that had a dream. In this dream, 359 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 6: she was in her house. She saw this very evil 360 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 6: looking person come in and start taking her possessions. She 361 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 6: was watching from the second floor over the banister. He 362 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 6: was putting her things in this large bag. In this dream, 363 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 6: she began to pray. She said, in the name of Jesus, 364 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 6: I have authority over you. Leave my things alone. The 365 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 6: men begin to mock her. He said, I don't have 366 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 6: to listen to you. I'm not afraid of you or 367 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 6: your prayers. He continued through the house, putting her things 368 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 6: in that bag. 369 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 4: She said it again, you have to go. 370 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 6: He laughed and said I don't have to leave your prayers. 371 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 4: Don't stop me. You have no authority over me. 372 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 6: But this time she noticed while he was saying that, 373 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 6: he started putting all of her things back. He kept 374 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 6: making her laughing, causing a commotion. At the same time, 375 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 6: he was returning. 376 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 4: Everything that he took. 377 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 6: This went on until he put everything back in its 378 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 6: proper place. As he was running out of the house, 379 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 6: she could hear him down the street, still saying, I'm 380 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 6: not afraid of you. 381 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 4: You have no authority over me. 382 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 6: See the scripture says the enemy comes like a roaring lion. 383 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 4: He's not a lion, but he'll make a lot of noise. 384 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 6: He'll talk a lot of trash, but his bite is 385 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 6: not near as much as his bar. Sometimes, though we're 386 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 6: praying and it doesn't seem like anything is happening. It's 387 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,479 Speaker 6: like the enemy is mocking us, saying you'll never get well, 388 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 6: you'll never break the addiction. Your child will never get 389 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 6: back on track. If you'll just stay in faith, keep praying, 390 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 6: keep believing. All that time he's stirring up trouble, causing 391 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 6: a commotion. What he wants tell you is he's putting 392 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 6: everything back. He may laugh, but he's putting your children back. 393 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 6: He's putting your health back, putting your freedom back, putting 394 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 6: your dreams back. Don't get discouraged when things get worse. 395 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 6: What you lost is only temporary. It's all coming back 396 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 6: Jesus said in Mark eleven, whatever you desire when you pray, 397 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 6: believe that you receive it, and you will have it. 398 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 6: It doesn't say believe that you receive it when you 399 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 6: see it when your health turns around, when the breakthrough comes. 400 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 6: The key is you have to believe that it happens 401 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 6: when you pray. When nothing has changed, the medical report 402 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,239 Speaker 6: hasn't improved, the fig tree looks just the same. You 403 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 6: don't have any evidence, but. 404 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 4: You believe when you prayed your healing came. 405 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 6: You have to receive it in your spirit before you'll 406 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 6: ever see it in the natural. 407 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 4: You have to be healed in. 408 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 6: Your spirit before you'll be healed in your physical body. 409 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 6: But too often we believe we're going to receive it 410 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 6: one day, I'm going to get well, I'm going. 411 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 4: To be free. That will limit us. 412 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 6: The Prayer of Faith says, when I pray according to 413 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 6: God's word, I believe it happens. Right when I pray, 414 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 6: I have it in my spirit. You have to receive 415 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 6: it in your spirit or you won't see it in 416 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 6: the natural. When my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, 417 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 6: she and my father prayed on December eleventh, nineteen eighty one. 418 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 6: That day, my mother believed she received her healing. 419 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 4: She had just been given a few weeks to live. 420 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 6: She looked so yellow, she only weighed eighty nine pounds. 421 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 6: Nothing in the natural said she was healed. For months, 422 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 6: nothing even looked any different. She didn't feel any better. 423 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 6: In fact, it looked like the cancer was winning. But 424 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 6: my mother just kept saying, Father, thank you that on 425 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 6: December eleventh, when we prayed, I received my healing. Thank 426 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 6: you that that day the tide of the battle turned 427 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 6: in my health. She kept thanking God, She kept calling 428 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 6: herself healthy. 429 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 4: She kept declaring skin scriptures over her life. 430 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 6: I will live and not die with long life. God 431 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 6: will satisfy me. Eventually, the healing she received in her 432 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 6: spirit when she wasn't well begin to show up in 433 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 6: her physical body. 434 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 4: She started getting better and better. 435 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 6: Today, thirty eight years later, my mom is so healthy 436 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 6: and home. But when you believe that you receive when 437 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 6: you pray, you don't keep asking God to do it. 438 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 4: You start thanking him. 439 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 6: If I've already received my healing, I don't have to 440 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 6: keep asking God to heal me, keep begging him, God, 441 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 6: please heal me. Go Instead, you start saying Father, Thank 442 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 6: you that I am healed, Thank you that I am free, 443 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 6: think you that I am blessed. Maybe you're believing for 444 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 6: a scholarship. Father, I'm asking you for this scholarship so 445 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 6: I can continue my education. Lord, I believe I'll receive 446 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 6: it right now in my spirit. You receive it by 447 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 6: faith from then on. Father, thank you for that scholarship. 448 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 6: You keep thanking God, you keep talking like it's coming. 449 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 6: Every circumstance may say it's never going to work out. 450 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 6: You may not see anything changing. That's when you have 451 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 6: to dig down deep and say, I am not going. 452 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 4: To give up on what God promised me. 453 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 6: I am not going to let negative thoughts talk me 454 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 6: out of it. I know what I've received in my 455 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 6: spirit is already on the way. Hebrew says, hold fast 456 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 6: the profession of your faith. 457 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 4: You have to hold fast what God put in your heart. 458 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 6: There are forces constantly trying to convince us that. 459 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 4: What God said is never going to happen. It's been 460 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 4: too long. 461 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 6: There's no sign it would have happened by now. No, 462 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 6: in the unseen realm, things have already changed. The miracle 463 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 6: has already been set into the roots of what's been 464 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 6: trying to stop. 465 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 4: You have already been cut off. 466 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 6: Now stay in faith until you see the manifestations. Don't 467 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 6: talk yourself out of it. You may be tempted to 468 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 6: let it go. You're about to give up on your dream, 469 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 6: your health, your children. No get a new grip. 470 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 4: It's closer than you think. You wouldn't be hearing. 471 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 6: This if it wasn't about to happen. When I was 472 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 6: growing up, my father would always have a big conference 473 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,199 Speaker 6: at Lakewood every Thanksgiving. It's one of the highlights of 474 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 6: the year. He would fly in missionaries that we support 475 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 6: from all over the world. One year, he decided he 476 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 6: wanted to feed everyone at Lakewood, so months before the conference, 477 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 6: he prayed and asked God to give him two cows. 478 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 6: That way we would have enough food to feed all 479 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 6: the people. He believed he received it when he prayed, 480 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 6: But after week went and there were no sign of 481 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 6: any cows. He kept believing, telling the church that the 482 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 6: cows were coming. But every voice said, you're wasting your time. 483 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 6: Nobody has ever given you a cow. You better go 484 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 6: down to Chick fil aane eat more chicken. As it 485 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 6: got closer, thoughts whispered, just buy the cows. 486 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 4: You have the money, it's never going to happen. 487 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 6: He finally got so worn down he quit talking about 488 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 6: the cows and went. 489 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 4: Out and bought the meat for the conference. 490 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 6: A couple of weeks later, he had a dream one night. 491 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 6: In this dream, he saw this huge snake out in 492 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 6: a field. 493 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 4: Inside this snake. 494 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 6: He could see the distinct outline of two cows. He 495 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 6: woke up and it was like God said to him, 496 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 6: I just want you to know you let the enemy 497 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 6: have your cows.
