1 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,439 Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 2: the ministry. 4 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 3: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a 5 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 3: blessing and share it with a friend. 6 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 2: We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in 7 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 2: your life. Well, God bless you. It's a joy to 8 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 2: come into your homes. And if you're ever in our area, 9 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 2: please stop buying. Be a part of one of our services. 10 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 1: I promise you we'll make you feel right at home. 11 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 2: But thanks so much for tuning in, and thank you 12 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: again for coming out. 13 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: I like to start with something funny. 14 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 2: I heard about this man that was walking on the beach, 15 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 2: and God said, son, you've been so faithful, I'm going 16 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 2: to grant you one special wish. 17 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: He was so excited. 18 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 2: He said, God, I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, 19 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 2: but I'm afraid to fly. So my wish is that 20 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: you would build me a bridge across the ocean. God said, son, 21 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: that's totally impossible. Think of the logistics of that. Now 22 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: take some time and wish again. He said, Okay, God, 23 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: I've been divorced four times. All my ex wives say 24 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: I am so insensitive. My wish is that I would 25 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 2: be able to understand a woman. I want to know 26 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: why she thinks like she thinks and why she feels 27 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 2: like she feels. 28 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: There was a long pause. 29 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: God said, do you want two lanes or four lanes 30 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 2: on that bridge? 31 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: And all the men said, amen, say it like you 32 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: mean it. 33 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 34 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do 35 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be 36 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 37 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,919 Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. 38 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 39 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: bless you. 40 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you today about be positive 41 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 2: or be quiet. Every one of us has promises that 42 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: we're standing on things that we're believing for. Maybe it's 43 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: to get out of debt, or to be healthy again, 44 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: to meet the right person, to start our own business. 45 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: We know God has. 46 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: Spoken to us, but we don't see any sign of 47 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: it happening. Nothing is changing. It looks just like it did. 48 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: Six months ago. 49 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 2: The mistake we make too often is we start to 50 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: talk ourselves out of it. 51 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm going to get out of debt. 52 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: Business is too slow or I could never accomplish my dreams. 53 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: I'm too old, Joel, I missed my opportunity. We don't 54 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: realize our words are what's keeping the promise from coming 55 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: to pass. 56 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: You cannot talk defeat and expect to have victory. 57 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 2: The moment you speak something out, you are giving life 58 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: to what you're saying, either good or bad. That's what 59 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: allows it to become a reality. Negative thoughts come to 60 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: every person. You can't stop the thoughts from coming. The 61 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 2: key is don't verbalize the negative. You may think it, 62 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: but don't speak it out. If you're not going to 63 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: say anything good about your health, your finances, your children, 64 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: your future, do yourself a favor, zip it up, don't say. 65 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: Anything at all, be positive or be quiet. 66 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: Proverb six says we are snared by the words of 67 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: our mouth. Do you know you can talk yourself out 68 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: of your healing? You can talk yourself out of a promotion. 69 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 2: Negative words can keep you from your God given destiny. 70 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: This is what almost happened to a man in the 71 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 2: Scripture named Jeremiah. God gave him a great promise that 72 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: he would become a prophet. 73 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: To the nations. 74 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: But when he heard this, he was very young and 75 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: unsure of himself. He said, God, I can't do that. 76 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: I can't speak to the nations. I'm too young. I 77 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: wouldn't know what to say. God said, Jeremiah, say not 78 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: that you are too young. The first thing God did 79 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 2: was stopped his negative words. 80 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: Why did God do that. God knew if he went. 81 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: Around saying I'm not qualified, I can't do this, I 82 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: don't have what it takes, he would become exactly what 83 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: he was saying. So God said, in effect, Jeremiah, zip 84 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 2: it up. You may think it, but don't speak it out. 85 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: And it goes on to tell how Jeremiah changed what 86 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 2: he was saying and he became a prophet to the nations. 87 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: The promise came to pass in the same way. 88 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: God has called every one of us to do something great. 89 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: He's put dreams, desires on the inside. But it's easy 90 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 2: to say, like Jeremiah. 91 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: Can't do that. 92 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 2: I'm too young, too old, I've made too many mistakes. 93 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: I don't have the education, I don't have the experience. 94 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: We can all make excuses, but God is saying to 95 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: us what he said to Jeremiah, stop saying that, don't 96 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: curse your future. Those negative words can keep you from 97 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 2: God's wad best, and sometimes the reason a promise is 98 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 2: being delayed is because of what we're saying. Imagine your 99 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: answer is on the way. God has already dispatched the 100 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 2: angel with your healing, your promotion, your vindication. But right 101 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 2: before it gets here, God says to the angel, hold on, 102 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 2: don't go any further, stay right where you are. The 103 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 2: angel says, why, God, this is what you promise, It's 104 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: in your word. 105 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: God says, no, listen to what they're saying. 106 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: They're talking about how it's not gonna happen, how the 107 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,559 Speaker 2: problem's too big, how it's been too long, how they'll 108 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 2: never meet. 109 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: The right person. 110 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 2: Negative words stop God's promises. Now, I wonder how many 111 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 2: times we're just a couple of months away from seeing 112 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 2: the answer, a couple of months from meeting the right person. 113 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: You've been praying for years that God would bring somebody 114 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: great into your life, but right before they show up, 115 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 2: you let your guard down. Tart Sana, it's not going 116 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: to happen. I'm too old, nobody's interested in me. God 117 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 2: has to say to the angel, don't go any further. 118 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: The good news is that promise is still in your future. 119 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: God didn't cancel it because we get negative. He still 120 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: has the right person for you. And if you'll zip 121 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: up the doubt and switch over into faith at the 122 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: right time, they will show up. God will release what 123 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: negative words have delayed. God still has your healing, your promotion, 124 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 2: your restoration. Now do your part. Quit talking about how 125 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 2: it's not going to happen. 126 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: You may not see away, but God still has a way. 127 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: It may look impossible, but God can do the impossible. 128 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: Just because you don't see. 129 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 2: Anything happening doesn't mean God is not working right now. 130 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 2: Behind the scenes. God is arranging things in your favor. 131 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 2: He's lining up the right place people, he's moving the 132 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 2: wrong people out of the way. He's positioning you exactly 133 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 2: where He wants you to be. 134 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: Now, don't delay the promise by speaking negative words. 135 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: Our son, Jonathan is seventeen years old and we're in 136 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 2: the process of applying to different colleges. Some schools only 137 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: accept five percent of the students that apply. That means, 138 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: of course, that ninety five percent of the applicants get 139 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 2: turned down. It's easy to think, why do we even 140 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: want to apply to those schools? It's practically impossible. More 141 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: than nine out of ten get denied. Jonathan, don't get 142 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 2: your hopes up. I don't see how you could get 143 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: in there. If we're not careful, we'll talk ourselves out 144 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: of it. You may think those thoughts, but don't make 145 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: the mistake of verbalizing them. Learn to turn it around. God, 146 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 2: I know you have my son in the palm of 147 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: your hand. You've already picked out the right pace college 148 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 2: for him to attend. There may be only a five 149 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: percent chance for some schools, but God, I know with you, 150 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 2: there's a one hundred percent chance he'll get in exactly 151 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: where you want him to go. 152 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: God, you control the whole universe. 153 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: That's much better than going around all the odds are 154 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: against me. Doesn't look good. I don't see how it's 155 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: going to happen. 156 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: No, zip that up. 157 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: If you can't be positive, at least be quiet. You 158 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: are prophesying your future. If you say I'll never get in, 159 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: then you'll never get in. 160 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: If you say this problem is going to sink me, 161 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: then it will sink you. If you say I'll never. 162 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: Be able to afford a nice house, You'll never be 163 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 2: able to afford a nice house. You're be ensnared by 164 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 2: the words of your mouth. 165 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: Luke. 166 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 2: Chapter one, an angel appeared to a man named Zachariah. 167 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 2: The angel told him that his wife Elizabeth, was going 168 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: to have a baby and they were to name him John. 169 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: Zachariah was very surprised. 170 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: Because he and his wife were way up there in years. 171 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: He said to the angel, are you sure this is 172 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 2: going to happen? It sounds great, but do you see 173 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 2: how old we are. To me, it just doesn't seem possible. 174 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: The angel said, Zachariah, I am Gabriel. I stand in 175 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 2: the presence of Almighty God, and what God says will 176 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: come to pass. 177 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: But God knows the power of our words. 178 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 2: He knew if Zachariah went around speaking defeat, it would 179 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: stop his plan. So God did something unusual. The angel 180 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 2: said Zachariah, because you doubted, you will remain silent and 181 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 2: not be able. 182 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: To speak until the baby is born. 183 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: Zachariah left there unable to talk. Couldn't say one word 184 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 2: for nine months until that child was born. Why did 185 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 2: God take away his speech? He would go out and 186 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: start telling his friends how it wasn't gonna happen. 187 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: Hey, man, this angel appeared. 188 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 2: Said we're gonna have a baby. He must have got. 189 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: The wrong person. We're too old. 190 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: God knows with our words we are prophesying our future. 191 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 2: A lot of times we think, well, Joe, God's God. 192 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 2: If he wants to bless me, he'll bless me. No, 193 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 2: God works by laws. Yes, God wants to bless you, 194 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 2: but it will not happen if you're speaking defeat over 195 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 2: your life. That's why the scripture says, put a watch 196 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 2: over your mouth. In other words, be careful what you 197 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: allow to come out of your mouth. This is especially 198 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: important in difficult times. That's when it's easy to get 199 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: negative started saying well, I don't think I'm ever gonna 200 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: get well. I've had this sickness for three years. Or 201 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: put a watch over your mouth. Don't prophesied that defeat. 202 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 2: If you're going to say anything, say what God says. 203 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: I will live and die. God is restoring health back 204 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: into me. 205 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 2: The number of my days he will fulfill. 206 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: That's what we should be saying. 207 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: The thought comes, you'll never accomplish your dreams, you'll never 208 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 2: rise any higher. 209 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 1: You've gone as far as you can go. 210 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: You can't stop the thoughts from coming, but you can 211 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 2: choose to not give them life by speaking them out. 212 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 2: When you don't speak it, that thought will die still born. 213 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 2: It can't take root and become a reality. But when 214 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 2: you say it, you are giving birth to what you're 215 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 2: speaking all through the day. You need to ask yourself, 216 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 2: is what I'm about to say? What I want to 217 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 2: come into my life? Because what you're saying you're inviting in. 218 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 2: When you say I'll never get out of death the 219 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 2: economy's too slow, you're inviting struggle and lack. When you 220 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 2: say this problem's too big, I don't think I'll ever 221 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: get out of that. You're inviting defeat, mediocrity. You need 222 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 2: to send out some new invitations. When you say I 223 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: will lend and not borrow, God's favor surrounds me like 224 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 2: a shield. Whatever I touch prospers and succeeds. You are 225 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: inviting increase, good, breaks success. When you say I will 226 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: overcome this problem, I am more than a conquer If 227 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 2: God before me, who dare be against me? You're inviting strength, healing, restoration, vindication, 228 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: breakthroughs now. Pay attention to what you're inviting. Well, I'll 229 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: never pass this algebra course. I've never been good in math. 230 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: I just don't understand it. Change the invitation. I can 231 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 2: do all things through Christ. I have good understanding. I 232 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 2: am full of wisdom. I am an a student. When 233 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 2: you do that, you're inviting. As you're inviting wisdom, you're 234 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 2: inviting God's blessings. Make sure you're sending out the right invitations. 235 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 2: When I first started ministering back in nineteen ninety nine, 236 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 2: I had never done this before, and I was very 237 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 2: nervous and very unsure of myself. Every negative thought imaginable 238 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 2: would come to my mind, things like, Joel, you're gonna get. 239 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: Up there and make a fool of yourself. 240 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 2: You're not gonna know what to say, nobody's gonna listen 241 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 2: to you. 242 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: You don't have the experience. 243 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 2: All through the day I had to ignore those thoughts. 244 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 2: I would go around saying under my breath, I am anointed, 245 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: I am equipped, I am strong. 246 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: In the Lord. 247 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: Before I would come to church and minister, I would 248 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 2: look at myself in the mirror and say, Joel, you 249 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: are well able. You've been raised up for such a 250 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 2: time as this. The services would go out all over 251 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 2: through the television. Those thoughts would come saying, what are 252 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 2: you doing on television. Other ministers are so much more qualified. 253 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: Nobody's going to tune you in. Instead of repeating that 254 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 2: from the very first, I started saying, Father, I want 255 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: to thank you that people are being drawn to me. 256 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: When they turn me on, they cannot turn me off. 257 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: Do you know I get letters every. 258 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,359 Speaker 2: Day from people saying, Joel, I never watched TV ministers, 259 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 2: but I was flipping through the channels, and when I 260 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: turned you on, I couldn't turn you off. That's much 261 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 2: better than going around saying I'm not qualified, I don't 262 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 2: have the experience, I don't. 263 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: Have what it takes. 264 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: The scripture says you've got to call the things that 265 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 2: are not as if they already were. I didn't feel confident, 266 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: but I called myself confident. I didn't feel annointed, but 267 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 2: I called myself annointed. 268 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: Now. You may not feel blessed, but you need to 269 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: call yourself blessed. 270 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 2: The circumstances may not say you're prosperous, but by faith. 271 00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: You need to call yourself prosperous. 272 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 2: You may not feel healthy today, but don't go around 273 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: telling everyone how you're not going to make it. Start 274 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: calling yourself healthy, whole, strong, full of energy, full of life, 275 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: When Joshua was leading the people of Israel toward the 276 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: Promised Land, they came to the city of Jericho. It 277 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: stood between them and their destiny. They couldn't go around it, 278 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 2: They had to go through it. The problem is Jericho 279 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 2: was surrounded by a huge, thick, tall wall made up 280 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 2: of stone and mortar. Didn't look like there was any 281 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 2: way the Israelites could get in, But God told them 282 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 2: to do something that sounded strange. To march around that 283 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: wall for six days, and on the seventh day they 284 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 2: were to march around seven times. If that wasn't odd enough, 285 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 2: God gave them one final instruction, the key to the 286 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 2: whole thing working. He said, while you're marching around the 287 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 2: world walls, I don't want you to say one word, 288 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 2: not a whisper, not a short conversation, not an update 289 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: on how it's going. Keep totally silent. Why did God 290 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: not allow them to speak? God knew after a couple 291 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: of times around, they'd start saying, what in the world 292 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 2: are we doing out here? This wall's never gonna fall. 293 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 2: Look how thick it is. It's been here for years. 294 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 2: Joshua must have heard God wrong. Somebody else speak up, yeah, 295 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: and I'm tired, I'm hot, and I'm hungry. 296 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: This dust is getting in my face. 297 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 2: God knew they would talk themselves out of it. 298 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: In fact, it had happened years before. 299 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: Their parents, their relatives were camped next. 300 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: Door to the Promised Land. 301 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 2: But when the spies came back and told everyone how 302 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 2: big their enemies were, that negative report spread like wildfire 303 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 2: throughout the rest of the camp. 304 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: Before long, all two million. 305 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 2: People were complaining, saying, we don't have a chance. We'll 306 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 2: never defeat these enemies. 307 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: Even though they. 308 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: Were next door, their negative words kept them from going in. 309 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: God knew it had happened once and it would happen again, 310 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 2: so he told them. 311 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: To be quiet. 312 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 2: He would saying, in effect, I know you're not going 313 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 2: to be positive. 314 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: So just stay silent. 315 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 2: There are times in all of our lives where it's 316 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 2: difficult to be positive, and that's okay. 317 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: Just stay silent. 318 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 2: Don't tell everyone what you're thinking. You know how the 319 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 2: story ends. On the seventh time around, or the seventh day, 320 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 2: the walls came tumbling down. 321 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: Here's the question today. Could it be that. 322 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 2: Negative words are keeping you out of your Promised Land? 323 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 2: Could it be if you would remain silent. Not talk 324 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 2: about how big the problem is. Not complain about what 325 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 2: didn't work out. Not tell a friend how you're never 326 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 2: going to be successful, that if you would zip it up, 327 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 2: maybe the walls that are holding you back would come down. 328 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 2: Imagine behind that wall is your healing, your promotion, your 329 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 2: dream coming to pass. 330 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: Every day, so to speak, you're walking around the wall. 331 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: What are you saying? 332 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 2: This wall's never gonna fall, Joel, I've had this addiction 333 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 2: since high school. I'll never be able to start my 334 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 2: own business. I don't know the right people. No, God 335 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 2: is saying to us what he said to the Israelites. 336 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: If you can't. 337 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 2: Say anything good, don't say anything at all. Don't let 338 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 2: your negative words keep you from God's best. If you'll 339 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 2: stop talking, defeat lack how it's not going to happen, 340 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 2: and simply remain silent. God can do for you what 341 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: he did for them. He knows how to bring those 342 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 2: walls down. When we're marching around the walls, sometimes we 343 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 2: go day after day and we don't see anything happening. 344 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 2: Just like them, The thoughts come saying you didn't hear 345 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 2: God right, Nothing is changing. You go to work every week, 346 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: do your best, you're not being promoted. No, that is 347 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 2: a time of testing. Like the Israelites. You're marching around 348 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 2: the wall. You may be on day five, day six. 349 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 2: That translates into you've been doing it a year, two years, 350 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 2: five years. Surely it would have happened by now. No, 351 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 2: pass that test. Don't start complaining. Don't do like the 352 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 2: first group and say, oh, what's the use, let's just 353 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 2: settle here. No, when the negative thoughts come, let them. 354 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: Die still born. 355 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 2: Refuse to prophesy, defeat over your life. If you do this, 356 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 2: you will come in to your seventh day. Like the Israelites. 357 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 2: Those walls will come tumbling down. 358 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: God is a faithful god. 359 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 2: He will do what he's promised youcond In chapter four, 360 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: there was a woman that was good friends with the 361 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 2: prophet Elisha. In fact, she had built an extra room 362 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 2: on her house so when Elisha was in town he 363 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 2: could come and stay there. One day, Elisha asked her 364 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 2: what he could do for her to return the favor. 365 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 2: She said nothing, Elisha, My husband and I were doing 366 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 2: just fine. Elisha noticed that they didn't have any children. 367 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 2: Her husband was an older man. Before he left, he 368 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: prophesied by this time next. 369 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: Year You're going to have a baby. She was so excited. 370 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 2: Sure enough, the next year she had a baby boy. 371 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 2: When that son was about ten years old, he was 372 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 2: out in the field playing one day and his head 373 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 2: began to hurt very badly. They carried him home and 374 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 2: placed him in his mother's arms, where he later died. 375 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: You can imagine how this mother felt. She was heartbroken, devastated. 376 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 2: She carried her son to Elisha's room and placed him 377 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 2: on Elisha's bed. 378 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: For most people this. 379 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 2: Would be the end of the story, but not this lady. 380 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: She told her assistant, saddle me up a horse. I'm 381 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 2: going to see the prophet Elisha. The assistant said, ma'am, 382 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 2: you don't need to do that. There's nothing he can do. 383 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 2: I hate to say it, but your son is no 384 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 2: longer alive. She said, don't ask questions, just get me 385 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 2: a horse, ready. Men, we know better than to mess 386 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 2: with a woman who's got her mind made of She 387 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 2: got on this horse and took off toward Elisha's. 388 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: House as fast as she could. 389 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 2: Can imagine, like the lone ranger, she was riding in 390 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 2: to bring justice. When Elisha saw the dust billowing up 391 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 2: in the sky, a couple of miles away. At one 392 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 2: point he noticed it was his friend, the woman that 393 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 2: had built the extra room on her house. Elisha told 394 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 2: his assistant Gaheesi, go find out what's wrong. I jumped 395 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 2: on his horse and met the woman way down the road. 396 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: Stopped her. 397 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 2: Said hey, Elisha's concerned. Why are you coming unexpectedly in 398 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 2: such a hurry? 399 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 1: Is anything wrong? I love the way she answered. 400 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 2: She said, no, all is well. She kept heading full 401 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 2: steam ahead. 402 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: Okay, hayes. 403 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: I thought about it and said that doesn't make sense. 404 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 2: He caught back up to her a second time. Let 405 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 2: me ask you again, Is everything okay. 406 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: With your husband? She said, all is well? Is everything 407 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: okay at your house? All is well? 408 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 2: Then he asked, is everything okay with your son? She 409 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 2: said it again, all is well. She was speaking it 410 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: by faith. A lot of times. 411 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: When we face difficulties. 412 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 2: Somebody asked us how everything's going, we do just the opposite. 413 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 2: Oh man, let me tell you my business is so slow, 414 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 2: My stocks are down, my back's been hurting, dishwash, it broke, 415 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 2: somebody dent in my car and traffic was backed up. 416 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 2: Usher wouldn't let me sit where I wanted to sit 417 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 2: This morning it's easy to talk about the problem, how 418 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 2: bad it is, how it's never going to work out. 419 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: But in those tough times when you feel like complaining, 420 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 2: you got a good reason to be sour. You lost 421 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 2: a job, a friend, did you wrong, You're not feeling well. 422 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 2: That's when you have to dig your heels in and 423 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,959 Speaker 2: say it by faith. Business is slow, but all is well. 424 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 2: God is still on the throne. He's Jehovah, Jirah, the Lord, 425 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 2: my provider. Or the medical report wasn't good, but all 426 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 2: is well. 427 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: God is my healer. 428 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: Nothing will snatch me out of his hands. She made 429 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 2: it finally to Elisha's house. She said, Elisha, this sun 430 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 2: you promised me has died. In other words, I didn't 431 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 2: ask for the boy, Elishah. You prophesied and God gave 432 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 2: him to me. And I know if you will come 433 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 2: pray for him, he will come back to life. He 434 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: got on his horse, went to her house, prayed for 435 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 2: the little boy, and he came back to life. 436 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: A great miracle. But here's what I want you to see. 437 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 2: Even in her darkest hour, even when it looked impossible, 438 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 2: she refused to get negative and speak defeat. When gahyes, 439 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 2: I ask is everything okay. She could have said, no, 440 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 2: I'm in the midst of a great tragedy. 441 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: I'm facing the biggest. 442 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 2: Challenge of my life. Nobody would have faulted her for that. 443 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 2: But this lady chose to speak faith even though her 444 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 2: mind was being bombarded with doubt. She had a watch 445 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: over her mouth. She wasn't going to be snared by 446 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 2: her words. When you're hurting, you've been through a disappointment, 447 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 2: you've suffered a loss, You've got to do like her, 448 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 2: say it by faith. 449 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: All is well. It may not look well, may not 450 00:24:59,160 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: feel well. 451 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 2: In the natural, you should be complaining, talking about how 452 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 2: bad it is, but instead you're making a declaration of faith. 453 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: All is well. That's when the most powerful force in 454 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: the universe goes to work. 455 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: Friends, God can resurrect dead dreams, He can resurrect a 456 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 2: dead marriage. He can resurrect health that's going down, or 457 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 2: a business that's going down. When you get in agreement 458 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 2: with God, all things are possible. You may be facing 459 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 2: a big obstacle. It doesn't look good, but here's a key. 460 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 2: Don't talk about the size of your problem. Talk about 461 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 2: the size of your God. God stopped the son for Joshua, 462 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 2: he parted the Red Sea for the Israelites. He breathed 463 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 2: new life into this little boy. He can turn your 464 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 2: situation around as well. He can make a way even 465 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 2: though you don't see away. My challenge today is don't 466 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 2: let your negative words stop what God wants to do. 467 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: If you can't say anything positive, zip it up. You 468 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 2: may think it, but don't give it life by speaking 469 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 2: it out. Your healing, your vindication, your promotion is right 470 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 2: up in front of you. Like Jeremiah, God has already 471 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 2: ordained you to do something great. Now, put a watch 472 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 2: over your mouth, pay attention to what you're saying. 473 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: For some of you. 474 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 2: When you make this adjustment, God is going to release 475 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 2: promises that have been delayed. What you've been praying about, 476 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 2: breaking that addiction, meeting the right person, getting healthy again, 477 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 2: starting that business. Suddenly, things are going to fall into place. 478 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 2: You're going to see God's favor in a new way. 479 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 2: He's going to open up new doors of opportunity. I 480 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 2: believe in declare, like Joshua and the Israelites, every wall 481 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 2: that's holding you back is about to come crumbling down. 482 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 2: You and your children will make it into your promised land. 483 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: If you're a SI. Can you say men today? 484 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: But we never like to close our broadcast without giving 485 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 2: you an opportunity. 486 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: To make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you 487 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: pray with me? 488 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 2: Just say Lord, Jesus, I'll repent of my sins. 489 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 490 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 2: Friends, if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you 491 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 2: got born again.
