00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 5: Thanks so much for tuning in, and thank you again

43
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 5: for coming out. I like to start with something funny,

44
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 5: and I heard about this man that was walking on

45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 5: the beach. God said, son, you've been so faithful, I'm

46
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 5: going to grant you one special wish. He was so excited.

47
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 5: He said, God, I've always wanted to go to Hawaii,

48
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 5: but I'm afraid to fly. So my wish is that

49
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 5: you would build me a bridge across the ocean. God said, son,

50
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 5: that's totally impossible. Think of the logistics of that. Now

51
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 5: take some time and wish again. He said, okay, God,

52
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 5: I've been married four times. All my ex wives say

53
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 5: I am so insensitive. So my wish is that I

54
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 5: would be able to understand a woman. I want to

55
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 5: know why they think like they think, why they feel

56
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 5: like they feel. There was a long pause. God said,

57
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 5: do you want two lanes or four lanes on that bridge?

58
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 5: Hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it.

59
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 5: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

60
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do

61
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be

62
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind

63
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

64
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

65
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 5: to talk to you today about how your words become

66
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 5: your reality. You are where you are today in part

67
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 5: because of what you've been saying about yourself. Words are

68
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: like seeds. When you speak something out, you give life

69
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 5: to what you're saying. If you continue to say it,

70
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 5: eventually that can become a reality, whether you realize it

71
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 5: or not. You are prophesying your future, and this is great.

72
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 5: When we're saying things like I'm blessed, I'm strong, i

73
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 5: will accomplish my dreams, I'm coming out of debt. That's

74
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 5: not just being positive. You are prophesying victory, prophesying success,

75
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 5: prophesying new levels. Your life will move in the direction

76
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 5: of your words. But too many people go around prophesying

77
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 5: just the opposite. I never get any good breaks, I'll

78
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 5: never get back in shape, business is slow, I'll probably

79
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 5: get laid off. Flu season is here. I always get it.

80
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 5: They don't realize they are prophesying defeat. It's just like

81
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 5: they're calling in bad breaks, mediocrity, lack. The scripture says

82
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 5: we will eat the fruit of our words. You are

83
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 5: planning seeds when you talk. At some point you're going

84
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 5: to eat that fruit. My challenge is make sure you're

85
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 5: planning the right kind of seeds. If you want apples,

86
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 5: you have to sow apple seeds. If you want oranges,

87
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 5: you can't plant cactus seeds, poison ivy seeds, mushroom seeds.

88
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 5: You're going to reap fruit from the exact seeds that

89
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 5: you've been sowing. In other words, you can't talk negative

90
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 5: and expect to live a positive life. You can't talk

91
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 5: defeat and expect to have victory. You can't talk lack

92
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 5: not enough, can't afford it, never get ahead, and expect

93
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 5: to have abundance. If you have a poor mouth, you're

94
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 5: going to have a poor life. If you don't like

95
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 5: what you're seed, start sowing some different seeds. Instead of

96
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 5: saying I'll never get well, Joel, this sickness has been

97
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 5: in my family for three generations. No, let me give

98
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 5: you the right seeds. God is restoring health back. Unto me,

99
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 5: this sickness didn't come to stay. It came to pass.

100
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 5: I'm getting better and better every day. You keep sowing

101
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 5: those seeds, and eventuallyly you'll eat that fruit, health, wholeness, victory.

102
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 5: Instead of saying I'll never get out of debt, I'll

103
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 5: never rise any higher. No, I will lend and not

104
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 5: borrow Whatever I touch prospers and succeeds, coming into overflow,

105
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 5: into more than enough, start sowing seeds of increase, seeds

106
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 5: of abundance. No more, I'll never accomplish my dreams. No,

107
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 5: I have the favor of God. Blessings are chasing me down.

108
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 5: The right people are searching me out. New opportunities, new

109
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 5: levels are in my future. If you keep talking like that,

110
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 5: you'll reap a harvest of good things. James said in

111
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 5: the scripture. With our tongue, we can bless our life,

112
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 5: or we can curse our life. Many people don't realize

113
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 5: with their words they're cursing their future. Every time you

114
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 5: say I never get any good breaks, you just cursed

115
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 5: your life. I'll never be able to afford that nice house.

116
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 5: I'll never break this addiction. I'll never meet the right person. No,

117
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 5: stop cursing your future. Sometimes the enemy doesn't have to

118
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 5: defeat us, We defeat ourselves. Pay attention to what you're saying.

119
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 5: Are you blessing your life or are you cursing it?

120
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 5: I had a classmate in high school that was always

121
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 5: very negative, and every time I ask him what was

122
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 5: going on, he had this standard answer. He would always

123
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 5: say not much. I'm just getting old, fat and bald.

124
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 5: I heard him say that probably five hundred times. I

125
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 5: know he's just kind of kidding, but I wouldn't kid

126
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 5: about that. He was one of the stars on our

127
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 5: football team, always in great shape, had this thick, curly hair.

128
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 5: About fifteen years later, I ran into him at the mall.

129
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 5: When I saw him, I nearly passed out. He had

130
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 5: prophesied his future. He looked old, fat and bald. Friends,

131
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 5: don't speak that defeat over your life. Our attitude should

132
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 5: be I'm getting younger. God is renewing my youth like

133
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 5: the eagles. I'm getting stronger, healthier, better looking. I'm gonna

134
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 5: keep my hair. I'm gonna stay in my right mind,

135
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 5: live a long, productive, faith filled life. Don't go around

136
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 5: cursing your future. Start blessing your life. Prophesy good things.

137
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 5: There's a young lady on staff here. Every morning before

138
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 5: she leaves the house, she looks in the mirror and says, girl,

139
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 5: you looking good today. I saw her one time and

140
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 5: ask if she was still doing it. She said yeah.

141
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 5: In fact, today, when I looked in the mirror, I said, girl,

142
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 5: some days you look good, but today you look really good.

143
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 5: Why don't you stop criticizing yourself, talking about all the

144
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 5: things you don't like, how you getting too old, too wrinkled,

145
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 5: to this, to that. Stop cursing your life and start

146
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 5: blessing your life. Start calling yourself healthy, strong, talented, beautiful young.

147
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 5: Every morning, before you leave the house, look in the

148
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 5: mirror and say, good morning, you good looking thing. My brother, Paul,

149
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 5: you need to do this every hour. Sometimes, when we've

150
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 5: been traveling a lot, been very busy, Victoria will come

151
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 5: to church with me and said, Joel, I am so tired.

152
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 5: Look at me. Can you see how red my eyes are?

153
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 5: I always say, no, Victoria, you look beautiful. You look

154
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 5: as great as ever. She says, no, I don't, Joel,

155
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 5: I know you. You won't tell me she's right. I

156
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 5: don't want to speak defeat. I want to speak victory

157
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 5: over her life. I wonder what she would do if

158
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 5: I ever said, yeah, you're right, you don't look good

159
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 5: at all. I'm smarter than that. I know. This man

160
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 5: that was so concerned that he was going to get

161
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 5: Alzheimer's disease. Several people in his family had it, a grandfather,

162
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 5: a great uncle. He was in his early fifties, but

163
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 5: he was always talking about what might happen. He told

164
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 5: me how he is making plans for who could take

165
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 5: care of him, get everything lined up. Of course, it's

166
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 5: good to use common sense to be wise, but if

167
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 5: you go around talking about when you're going to get it,

168
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 5: making plans for it, most likely you won't be disappointed.

169
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 5: You're calling it in, just like you're sending it an invitation.

170
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 5: I told him what I'm telling you. Don't say another

171
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 5: time that you're going to have Alzheimer's. Start declaring. No

172
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 5: weapon formed against me will ever prosper. I will live

173
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 5: out my days in good health, with a clear mind,

174
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 5: with good memory, with clarity of thought. My mind is alert,

175
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 5: my senses are sharp, my youth is being renewed. You've

176
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 5: got to prophesy health, prophesy a long productive life. Your

177
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 5: words will become your reality. When our daughter Alexandra was

178
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 5: about four years old, she overheard Victorian Me talking about

179
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 5: this little boy that was having a terrible time with headaches,

180
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 5: who was having to leave school and causing him all

181
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 5: kinds of difficulties. Alexandra spoke up and said, Daddy, I

182
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 5: don't have headaches, and I never will have headaches. I

183
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 5: thought you're exactly right. You're prophesying the right thing. One

184
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 5: time I was working on my garage door back then,

185
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 5: I couldn't get it to go up, and it's kind

186
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 5: of frustrated. And I didn't even realize Alexandra was there.

187
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 5: But under my breath, I said, this thing is never

188
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 5: going to work. I heard this little voice speak up, Daddy,

189
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 5: You're going to have what you say. God, it's terrible

190
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 5: when your own children believe your messages. Proverb six says

191
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 5: we are snared by the words of our mouth. Snared

192
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 5: means to be trapped. Your words can trip you. What

193
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 5: you say can cause you to stumble. It can keep

194
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 5: you from your potential. You're not snared by what you think.

195
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 5: Negative faults come to us all when you speak them out,

196
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 5: you give them life. That's when they become a reality.

197
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 5: You say I'll never get back in shape, it becomes

198
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 5: more difficult. You just made it harder. When you say

199
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 5: I never get any good breaks. That stops the favor

200
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 5: that was ordained for you. If you say I'm not

201
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 5: that talented, I don't have a good personality, that is

202
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 5: setting the limits for your life. That is calling in mediocrity.

203
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 5: You may have been snared in the past, trapped by

204
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 5: your words. But I believe this is a new day.

205
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 5: I declare you're coming out of that trap. Every chain

206
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 5: is being loose, every stronghold is coming down. No weapon

207
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 5: formed against you is going to prosper. Now you've got

208
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 5: to do your part. Start speaking victory over your life. Speak, increase,

209
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 5: dare to declare God's favor. Be bold to call in

210
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 5: those things you're dreaming about, those things you're believing for.

211
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 5: Don't use your words to describe the situation. Use your

212
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 5: words to change the situation. Matthew, Chapter six, Jesus was

213
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 5: taught talking about worry. He said, take no thought, saying

214
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 5: what shall we eat? What shall we drink? Notice that phrasing,

215
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 5: take no thoughts save the negative thoughts will come. The

216
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 5: key is to not say them. I thought will die

217
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 5: still born if you don't speak it. Jesus was saying,

218
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 5: you may feel worried, you may seem like it's never

219
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 5: going to happen, But take no thoughts, saying, don't verbalize it.

220
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 5: Don't get trapped by your words. When we acquired this place,

221
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 5: the form of Compact Center, it was a dream come true.

222
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 5: We were so excited our builders drew up plans to

223
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 5: renovate it from a basketball arena to a church. They

224
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 5: called us together and said it was going to cost

225
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 5: one hundred million dollars to renovate. After they picked me

226
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 5: up off the floor, my first thoughts were, that's impossible.

227
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 5: There's no way. I've only been the pastor of four years.

228
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 5: They cannot expect me to raise those kind of funds.

229
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 5: Even though those thoughts were racing through my mind again

230
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 5: and again, I was smart enough to keep my mouth closed.

231
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 5: I kept a big smile on my face, acted like

232
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 5: it was no big deal. I knew if I wouldn't

233
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 5: verbalize those negative thoughts, eventually they would die stillborn. It's

234
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 5: one thing to think that it's impossible, but when you

235
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 5: start telling people it's impossible, takes on a whole new meaning.

236
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 5: You may think, I'll never break this illness, I'll never

237
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 5: get well, I'll never meet the right person. Those thoughts

238
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 5: come to all of us. You can't stop that. My

239
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 5: challenge is, don't give them life by speaking them out.

240
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 5: Don't go call your friends and tell them how it's

241
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 5: not going to happen. I told our team I don't

242
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 5: see away, but I know God has a way. He

243
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 5: didn't bring us this far to leave us. My report

244
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 5: was God is supplying all of our needs. The funds

245
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 5: are coming in. It may look impossib on paper, but

246
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 5: with God, all things are possible. I knew better than

247
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 5: to curse my future. I didn't want to get trapped

248
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 5: by my words. I knew if I'd keep prophesying the

249
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 5: right things increase favor more than enough, then we would

250
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 5: start moving toward it. In the tough times, you have

251
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 5: to especially be on guard. It's very tempting to venture frustration,

252
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 5: tell people how the loan didn't go through, and how

253
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 5: bad the medical report was, and how these people just

254
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 5: didn't treat you right. But continually talking about the problem,

255
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 5: that's not only going to make you more discouraged, but

256
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 5: you're giving that problem more life. You're making it bigger.

257
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 5: Turn it around. Don't talk about the problem, talk about

258
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 5: the promise instead of Oh man, I got this big challenge. No,

259
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 5: I serve a big God. He spoke worlds into existence.

260
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 5: Nothing's too difficult for him. Instead, I didn't get the promotion.

261
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 5: God passed over again. Another disappointment. Now I know when

262
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 5: one door closes that means God has something better. He's

263
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 5: directed my steps. I'm excited about my future. Instead, I'll

264
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 5: never meet the right person. Joe, I'm too old, it's

265
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 5: been too long. No, something good is going to happen

266
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 5: to me. Divine connections are coming my way. Well, I

267
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 5: heard you got a bad medical report. Yes, that's true,

268
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 5: But I have another report. It says God is restoring

269
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 5: health back into me. And I heard those people. Did

270
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 5: you wrong? Yes, but I'm not worried. God is my vindicator.

271
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 5: He's fighting my battles. He's promised to give me beauty

272
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:38,239
Speaker 5: for ashes. See, in life, there are always two voices

273
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 5: vying for your attention, the voice of faith and the

274
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 5: voice of defeat. You'll hear a voice saying, like I did,

275
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 5: problem's too big, it's not gonna work out. Just accept it.

276
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 5: You'll be tempted to worry, to be negative, to complain,

277
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 5: But if you listen carefully, you'll hear another voice, the

278
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 5: voice of faith, saying God has a way, Favor is coming,

279
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 5: healing is coming, breakthroughs are coming. One voice will tell

280
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 5: you you've reached your limits, You've gone as far as you can,

281
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 5: you don't have what it takes. The other voice, you

282
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 5: are well able, You can do all things through Christ.

283
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 5: Your best days are still in front of you. Now

284
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 5: here's the beauty. You get to choose which voice comes

285
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 5: to life. The way you do it is by what

286
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,239
Speaker 5: you speak. When you verbalize that thought, you're giving it

287
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 5: the right to come to pass. If you go around saying, ah,

288
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 5: the problem's too big, I'll never get well, you are

289
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 5: agreeing with the wrong voice. You've got to get in

290
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 5: agreement with God. The other voice may seem louder, but

291
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 5: you can override it. You can take away all of

292
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 5: its power by choosing the voice of faith. Maybe you're

293
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 5: going to a job interview. One voice will tell you

294
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 5: you're not going to get it, you're wasting your time.

295
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 5: These people are not going to like you. Another voice

296
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 5: will say you have the favor of God, you're blessed,

297
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 5: you're confident, you have what it takes. But if you

298
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 5: get up that morning and tell your spouse, I don't

299
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 5: think i'm gonna get this job, they're not gonna light me.

300
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 5: I'm not qualified. There's no use even going you're being

301
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 5: trapped by your words. You have to dig your heels

302
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 5: in and say, I am not giving life to any

303
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 5: more defeat. I am not speaking lack. I'm not speaking sickness.

304
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 5: I'm not speaking mediocrity, not enough. I'm gonna choose the

305
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 5: voice of faith. It says I'm strong, I'm healthy, I'm blessed,

306
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 5: I'm favored. I am a victor, not a victim. This

307
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 5: is what David did when he faced Goliath. It looked impossible.

308
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 5: All the odds were against him. If he would have

309
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 5: verbalized his negative thoughts, that would have kept him from

310
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 5: his destiny, even though he was anointed to be king.

311
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 5: Those negative words would have kept him trapped in the

312
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 5: shepherd's fields. He could have easily gone around saying, well,

313
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 5: I know I'm supposed to face Goliath, but look at him.

314
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 5: He's twice my size. He's got more experience, more equipment,

315
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 5: more talent. I don't see how this is ever going

316
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 5: to work out. You can talk yourself out of your destiny.

317
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 5: Negative words can keep you from becoming who you were

318
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 5: created to be. Don't fall into that trap. Quit calling

319
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 5: in defeat. Quit talking about how it's not going to happen.

320
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 5: You can pray in faith, ask God to turn it around,

321
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 5: to do the impossible, but then walk away and start

322
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 5: talking about how you're not going to get well, how

323
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 5: your child's never going to straighten up. Those negative words

324
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 5: just canceled out that prayer. Well, Joel, I'm having this

325
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 5: financial crisis. I prayed and asked God to help me,

326
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 5: but I don't see how it's going to happen. No,

327
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 5: zip that up. Father, you said, you're Jehovah, Jirah, the Lord,

328
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 5: my provider. Lord. You've done it for me in the past.

329
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 5: I know you'll do it for me again in the future.

330
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 5: Don't let your words trip you. Negative talk brings negative results.

331
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 5: But when you speak faith favor victory. That's what allows

332
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 5: God to do the impossible. David went out stood before Goliath.

333
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 5: He looked him in the eyes, said you come against

334
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 5: me with a sword and a shield, But I come

335
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 5: against you in the name of the Lord, God of Israel.

336
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 5: This day I will defeat you and feed your head

337
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 5: to the birds of the air. Notice he was prophesying victory.

338
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 5: He may have felt fear, but he spoke faith. I

339
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 5: can hear David as he's going out to face Goliath

340
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 5: under his breath. I am well able, I am anointed,

341
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 5: I am equipped. If God before me, who dare be

342
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 5: against me, picked up that rock, put it in his slingshot,

343
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 5: slung it. That rock brought Goliath tumbling down. When you

344
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 5: face giants in life, you face challenges. You have to

345
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 5: do like David, prophesy your future. Say to that cancer, cancer,

346
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 5: you are no match for me. I will defeat you.

347
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 5: This addiction may be in my family for years, but

348
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 5: this is a new day. The buck stops with me.

349
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 5: I'm the difference maker. I am free. My child may

350
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 5: have been off course for a long time, but I

351
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 5: know it's only temporary. As for me and my house,

352
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 5: we will serve the Lord prophesy victory over your life.

353
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 5: There was a man in the scripture named Zaruba Bell.

354
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 5: He faced a huge mountain, a big obstacle, But like David,

355
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 5: he didn't talk about how impossible it was, how it

356
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 5: was never going to work out. He said, who are you,

357
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 5: o great mountain that would stand before me? You shall

358
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 5: become a mere mole hill. He was prophesying his future.

359
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 5: The mountain looked big, but he declared it would be

360
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 5: flattened out, it would become a mole hill. There's the principle.

361
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 5: I won't talk about the mountain. Talk to the mountain.

362
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 5: Look at that mountain of debt. Tell it. You can't

363
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 5: defeat me. You're coming down. I will lend and not borrow.

364
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 5: My cup will run over whatever mountains you face in life,

365
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 5: no matter how big they look. Don't shrink back in fear.

366
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 5: Don't be intimidated. Rise up in faith. Tell that mountain

367
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 5: you're coming down. Tell that sickness you're temporary. Say to

368
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 5: that loneliness, that addiction, that legal problem. Who are you,

369
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 5: oh great mountain, to stand before me? In other words,

370
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 5: don't you know who I am? A child of the

371
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 5: Most High God? Haven't you read my birth certificate? My

372
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 5: father created the universe, He breathed life into me, crowned

373
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 5: me with his favor, called me more than a conquer

374
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 5: That means you can't defeat me. You can't hold me back. Mountain,

375
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 5: you gotta come down. I will overcome this illness. I

376
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 5: will break this addiction. I will pay my house off.

377
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 5: I will see my family restored. I will accomplish my dreams.

378
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 5: What am I saying? Prophesy, victory, prophesy, breakthroughs, prophesy, what

379
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 5: you're believing for. In the Old Testament, Ezekiel saw a vision,

380
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 5: had this dream of this valley filled with bones everywhere.

381
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 5: He looked. It's like a huge graveyard, acres and acres

382
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 5: of bones people that have died. Bones represent things in

383
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 5: our life that look dead, situations that seem impossible, like

384
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 5: they'll never change. And God told him to do something interesting.

385
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 5: He said, Ezekiel, prophesy to these dead bones. Say to them, oh,

386
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 5: you dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. And

387
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 5: Ezekiel in this vision, he started speaking to the bones,

388
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 5: telling them to come back to life. He called forth skin, muscle, tissue.

389
00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 5: As he was talking, these bones started coming together. It's

390
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 5: like out of a movie, morphing back into a person. Finally,

391
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 5: God told him to prophesy to the breath and call

392
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 5: it forth. The scripture says, as he prophesied, breath came

393
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 5: into those bodies, and they stood up like a vast army.

394
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 5: You may have things in your life that seem dead,

395
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 5: your health, business, a relationship. All you can see, so

396
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 5: to speak, is that valley of dry bones. God is

397
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 5: saying to you what he said to Ezekiel. It's not

398
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 5: enough to just pray about it. You need to speak

399
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 5: to it. Prophesy to those dead bones. Call in health,

400
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 5: call in abundance, call in restoration. That child that's been

401
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 5: off course. Don't just pray about it. Prophesy to him, son, daughter,

402
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 5: come back in. You will fulfill your destiny. You're struggling

403
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 5: with an addiction, don't just pray about it. Prophesy. I

404
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 5: am free. Chains are broken off of me. This is

405
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 5: a new day of victory. Get your checked prophesy to

406
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 5: it all. It looks like are dead bones dead, lack struggle.

407
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 5: I prophesy to these dead bones. I will lend and

408
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 5: not borrow. I am the head enough to tell I

409
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 5: am coming into overflow, just like with Ezekiel. If you'll

410
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 5: prophesy of the bones, God will resurrect what looked dead.

411
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 5: He'll make things happen that you could never make happen.

412
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 5: Psalm too says, I will declare a decree. A decree

413
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 5: was something that was written down, like an official document.

414
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 5: The Psalmist was saying, there's something that's been written that

415
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 5: I'm going to start speaking. You and I can do

416
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 5: the same thing. Declare a decree. You should write down

417
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 5: your goals. Write down what you want to see happen

418
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 5: in life. Any areas that you're struggling in where you

419
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 5: need to improve, write it down like it's already done,

420
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 5: and then every day declare that decree, read over it

421
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 5: a couple of times out loud. It's not enough to

422
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 5: just think it. Something happens when we speak. You have

423
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 5: to prophesy your future. You can personalize yours, but let

424
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 5: me give you some generic things that should be on

425
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 5: your decree. I am strong, I am healthy. I am

426
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 5: in shape. I weigh what I'm supposed to weigh. I

427
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 5: am full of energy. I am passionate. I am talented.

428
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 5: I am secure, I am valuable. I am confident. I

429
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 5: have a good personality. People like me. I am fun

430
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 5: to be around. I am happy. I enjoy my life.

431
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 5: I am a person of excellence. I am full of integrity.

432
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 5: I am successful, I am prosperous. MY future is bright.

433
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 5: MY children are mighty in the land. My legacy will

434
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 5: live on to inspire future generations. I run with purpose

435
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 5: in every step. I'm blessed. I am victorious. I am

436
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 5: a child of the most High God. If you keep

437
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 5: speaking things like that over your life, those words will

438
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 5: get down on the inside of you. They'll not only

439
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 5: change your outlook, but they will change who you are.

440
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 5: Your words will become your reality. You are prophesying your future.

441
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 5: Over time, those words will become a part of your

442
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 5: everyday vocabulary. It'll be no big deal for you to

443
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 5: go around saying I'm blessed, I'm healthy, I have the

444
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 5: favor of God. Instead of being trapped by your words,

445
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 5: you'll be propelled by your words. James said here in

446
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 5: the scripture, just as a tiny rudder controls a lordship,

447
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 5: so the tongue sets the direction for our life. Are

448
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 5: you going in the right direction? Are you seeing increase

449
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 5: favor new growth? If not, check up on what you're saying.

450
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 5: When you get your words going in the right direction,

451
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 5: your life will go in the right direction. Make this

452
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 5: decision with me. No more words of lack, defeat, can't

453
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,280
