44
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 5: To start with something funny and one day up in heaven,

45
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 5: God said to the men, I want you to form

46
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 5: two lines. One line is for the men who were

47
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 5: the head of the house. The other line is for

48
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 5: the men who let the woman be the head of

49
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 5: the house. The line where the woman ran the house

50
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 5: was one hundred miles long. There was only one man

51
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 5: in the other line. God said, men, I'm ashamed of you.

52
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 5: I created you to be the head, but only one

53
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 5: man stood up.

54
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: To make me proud.

55
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 5: He looked at him and said, tell them, son, how

56
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 5: did you manage to be the only one in this line.

57
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 4: The man looked confused.

58
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 5: He said, I don't know. My wife told me to

59
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 5: stand here.

60
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 4: All right. All the men said amen, But here we go.

61
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

62
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: I have what it says I have.

63
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 5: I can do what it says I can do. Today

64
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 5: I will be taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess.

65
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 5: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

66
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 5: never be the same. In Jesus's name, God bless you.

67
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 5: I want to talk to you today about it's just

68
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 5: a matter of time. We all have things that we're

69
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 5: believing will change. We're fighting in illness, we're struggling with

70
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 5: an addiction.

71
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: We're dealing with.

72
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: Fear, depression, anxiety, we know what God promised, that he

73
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 5: would restore our health, that he would free us from

74
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 5: the fear. We prayed, we believe, but we don't see

75
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 5: anything improving. But what you can't see is the moment

76
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 5: you prayed in the unseen realm, the source of what

77
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 5: was coming against you was cut off, the source of

78
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 5: the fear, the source of the addiction, the source of

79
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 5: the sickness. Now you may not see any manifestation for

80
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 5: some time. There may not be any evidence that things

81
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 5: have changed, and this is when many people get discouraged.

82
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 5: But there will always be a period of time where

83
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 5: it looks like God didn't do what he promised. The

84
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 5: fear still comes, The medical report hasn't improved, the addiction

85
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 5: looks just the same. But what's feeding those things has

86
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 5: been cut off may seem like it's still alive.

87
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 4: But the truth is.

88
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 5: The fear is dead, the sickness is dead, the trouble

89
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 5: at work is dead. Don't be discouraged because you don't

90
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 5: see anything happening.

91
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 4: It's just a matter of time.

92
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 5: One day Jesus was leaving Bethany. He saw a fig

93
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 5: tree off in the distance. He was hungry, so he

94
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 5: went over to get something to eat, but the tree

95
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 5: didn't have any figs.

96
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 4: Jesus said to the tree, may no person ever eat

97
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: fruit from you.

98
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 5: Again, he cursed the tree, but when he said it,

99
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 5: nothing on the outside looked any different. The tree was

100
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 5: still just as full and healthy as before. I can

101
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 5: hear the disciples begin to whisper.

102
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 4: What happened? It didn't work? Did he lose his power?

103
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 5: They had seen Jesus speak to a blind man and

104
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 5: heal his eyes. They had heard him speak to the

105
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: storm and calm the sea. But this time when Jesus spoke,

106
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 5: nothing changed. There was no evidence that what he said

107
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 5: had happened. But the next morning, as the disciples were

108
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 5: passing by, they saw the tree. The scripture says the

109
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 5: tree had withered from the roots.

110
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: When Jesus spoke to the tree.

111
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 5: Nothing happened on the outside, but on the inside, down

112
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 5: in the roots, the source was cut off.

113
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 4: When the roots are dead, the tree is dead.

114
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 5: It may still look alive, It may still have green leaves,

115
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 5: still have wide branches, but it's just a matter of

116
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 5: time before the outside catches up with the inside. It

117
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 5: may look like that sickness you're dealing with is still alive.

118
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 5: That anxiety just as bad as ever, the addiction just

119
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 5: as strong. You prayed, wondered why God won't do something.

120
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 5: God did do something the moment you prayed. He cut

121
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 5: off the source. That addiction may look like it's alive,

122
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 5: but if you could see the roots, you would realize

123
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 5: it's dead. It's just a matter of time before the

124
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 5: outside catches up. That sickness may seem permanent, like you'll

125
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 5: never get well.

126
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 4: Have a new perspective. The roots have been cut off.

127
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 5: Now, don't be discouraged because it still has green leaves.

128
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: You don't see anything changing.

129
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 5: The psalmist said, the strength of the wicked is being

130
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 5: cut off, and the power of the godly is being increased.

131
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 5: Everything that's trying to stop you, you need to see

132
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 5: that power as being cut off. It may be hindering

133
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 5: you now, but it's not permanent. It's not going to last.

134
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 4: Why it lost its source.

135
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 5: Every day it's withering. Every day it's getting weaker. May

136
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 5: look the same on the outside, but on the inside

137
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 5: it's drying up. When Jesus spoke to the tree, there

138
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 5: was no.

139
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 4: Evidence that anything changed.

140
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 5: Maybe you're believing for something and you don't see any

141
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 5: sign of things improving. You're speaking faith over your health,

142
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 5: but the medical reports not getting better. You're praying for

143
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 5: your child, but he's not getting back on track.

144
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: If you just had some evidence, if you.

145
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 5: Just saw a little sign, then you would believe. Now,

146
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 5: this is what faith.

147
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 4: Is all about.

148
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 5: You can't be moved by what you don't see.

149
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: You have to be moved by what you know. Father.

150
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 4: I want to thank you that the moment I.

151
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 5: Prayed, you cut off the roots. I know this sickness

152
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 5: is not permanent.

153
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 4: Healing is coming.

154
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 5: I know this addiction is not how my story ends.

155
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: Freedom is coming. I know this depression doesn't have the

156
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 5: final say, Father, I thank you that it's withering up.

157
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 5: Some of the things that you're concerned about. God has

158
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 5: already done. You haven't seen it yet, but in the

159
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 5: unseen realm, things have changed. That anxiety you've been praying about,

160
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 5: asking God to take it away, is already dead.

161
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 4: That trouble at work. God has already cut off the source.

162
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 5: Now do your part. Stay in faith until it manifest

163
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 5: Keep thanking God, Keep talking like you're free, keep thinking

164
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 5: like you're healthy, keep living.

165
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 4: Like you're victorious. I talked to a man that had

166
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 4: struggled with an addiction for many years.

167
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 5: He said, Joeli, I asked God to help me, but

168
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 5: nothing happened. He didn't see anything on the outside. Changing

169
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 5: wasn't getting any easier, so he assumed that God wasn't

170
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 5: doing anything. He lived with the mindset, I'm addicted. I'll

171
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 5: never be free.

172
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 4: It's too strong.

173
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 5: He was waiting to see the manifestation before he believed

174
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 5: God was working. But faith says, you have to believe

175
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 5: that when you prayed, the miracle was set into motion.

176
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 5: You can't wait to see the evidence, and then you're

177
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 5: going to believe. You have to believe first, and you

178
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 5: may not see any sign of it, but deep down

179
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 5: you have to know the source of that addiction has

180
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 5: been cut off. When you know the roots have been cursed,

181
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 5: you'll have a different mindset. Instead of thinking maybe one

182
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 5: day it will happen, you'll know it's just a matter

183
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 5: of time. God has already spoken it. He's already cut

184
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 5: off the source. Now all you have to do is

185
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 5: walk it out. And I told him what I'm telling you.

186
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 5: You may not see anything happening, but the moment you prayed,

187
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 5: God did something. Instead of thinking, one day I'll be free,

188
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 5: Try a new approach.

189
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 4: Father, Thank you that I am free, Thank.

190
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 5: You that this addiction is dead, that it doesn't control me,

191
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 5: that you've already put an end to it. He started

192
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 5: living with the attitude that it was already cut off.

193
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 4: He kept thanking God he was free, talking like he

194
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 4: was free. I saw him about six months later, he.

195
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 5: Said, after twenty two years of being addicted, today, I

196
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 5: am totally free. Are you waiting for the evidence to

197
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 5: believe what God said about you?

198
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 4: Are you talking yourself out of it?

199
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 5: Because you don't see any sign. If you'll get in

200
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 5: agreement with God, you'll see what he's done on the inside.

201
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 4: Show up on the outside.

202
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 5: The source of what's trying to stop you has been

203
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 5: cut off. Well, Joe, it seems like it's still alive.

204
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 5: Seems like as strong as ever. Don't be fooled by

205
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 5: the outside. Victoria was in our backyard one time. We

206
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 5: had these beautiful rose bushes. She's got some scissors and

207
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 5: cut off one of the roses and brought it inside.

208
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 4: The moment she cut it off, it was dead.

209
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 5: It was separated from its source of life.

210
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 4: What's interesting is it didn't look dead.

211
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 5: It didn't look any different from the other roses that

212
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 5: were still on the bush. It was still beautiful, still colorful,

213
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 5: still smelled good. She put it in a vase for

214
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks. It was right by our kitchen sink.

215
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 5: Still looked beautiful, healthy. But the whole time it was dead.

216
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 5: It was just a matter of time before it withered up.

217
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 5: You may have things in your life like that rose.

218
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 5: The sickness has already been cut off, the depression, the fear,

219
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 5: the addiction. The moment you prayed, it died, but it

220
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 5: still looks just the same.

221
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 4: Don't feel any different. Nothing is changing. That's okay. That

222
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 4: doesn't mean that it's still alive like that rose. At

223
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 4: some point it's going to wither. You're going to see

224
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 4: what God promised you. Now.

225
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 5: The scripture says, don't faint in your mind.

226
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 4: The first place we lose.

227
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 5: The battle is in our own thinking. Thoughts will tell

228
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 5: you nothing happened when you prayed. You'll never get well,

229
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 5: you'll never break the addiction. You've had it too long.

230
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 5: Don't believe those lies. The roots have been cut off.

231
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 5: It's just a matter of time before you see things

232
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 5: change in your favor. We have some friends every Easter

233
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 5: they send us a dozen rose buds.

234
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 4: They come in this large box.

235
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 5: They have a long stem with the rose bud on

236
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 5: the top.

237
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 4: What's interesting is.

238
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 5: Even though the rose is dead, even though it's been

239
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 5: cut off from the bush.

240
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 4: When you put that stem in water, the.

241
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 5: Rose will bloom. It's dead, but it will still blossom.

242
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 5: It has no life, but it will still get bigger,

243
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 5: increase and expand. There are times when even though God

244
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 5: has cut something off, it will get bigger. Even though

245
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 5: he cut off the trouble, it will blossom. You'll be

246
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 5: tempted to think, Joel, this sickness isn't dead.

247
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 4: It's getting worse.

248
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 5: This anxiety is not dead, it's increasing instead of decreasing.

249
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 4: No, stay in faith. It may bloom, it may.

250
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 5: Blossom, but it's still dead all through the day. Father,

251
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 5: thank you that the source of this trouble has been

252
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 5: cut off. Thank you that you have cursed the roots

253
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 5: of this fear. Thank you that you said this sickness

254
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 5: has to go. So Lord, I'm going to stay in

255
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 5: agreement with you. I know it's just a matter of

256
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 5: time before it withers up. When we were trying to

257
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 5: acquire this building, the former Compact Center, we had all

258
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 5: kinds of opposition, but after two years, we finally got

259
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 5: enough city council members to be for us, and we

260
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 5: won the vote.

261
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 4: We were so excited. We knew that God gave us

262
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: the building.

263
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 5: But three days later, a company that owned most of

264
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 5: the property around the facility filed a federal lawsuit to

265
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 5: try to keep us from moving in. I thought the

266
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 5: opposition was over, but it.

267
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 4: Was just beginning. We had this huge company coming against us.

268
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 5: They were the largest taxpayer in Texas, a big real

269
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 5: estate company. I was tempted to think, God, what are

270
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 5: we going to do. They have more resources, they have

271
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 5: more influence. But I did what I'm asking you to do,

272
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 5: I said, Father, I want to thank you that the

273
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 5: source of those coming against us has been cut off.

274
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 5: They may be bigger, stronger, but God, I know you

275
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 5: being for us is more than the world being against us.

276
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 5: Like that rosebud that blooms even though it's dead, don't

277
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 5: be surprised if opposition blossoms against you, adversity blooms.

278
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: Giants try to stop you. It looks like they have

279
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 4: the upper hand. No, stay in peace.

280
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 5: Their source has been cut off. It is not permanent.

281
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 4: It is just a matter of time before.

282
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 5: You see the hand of God. All the odds were

283
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 5: against us. It looked like this building could be tied

284
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 5: up in the courts. For many years we were told.

285
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 4: That the other side would never back down.

286
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 5: But one day they called out of the blue and

287
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 5: said they wanted to meet.

288
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 4: We met.

289
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 5: They agreed to not only let us have the building,

290
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 5: but to lease us nine thousand coupboard parking spaces. That

291
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 5: two year legal battle suddenly.

292
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 4: Came to an end. You may have things that you thought.

293
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 5: Were dead, the addiction, the trouble at work, the legal situation,

294
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 5: but now it's blooming.

295
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 4: It's getting bigger. You think that your prayers must not

296
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 4: have worked. No, the roots have been cut off.

297
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 5: It may bloom, but it lost its source. What you're

298
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 5: dealing with is only temporary. It cannot last without the source.

299
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 5: That rose bloom looks so beautiful for a couple of weeks,

300
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 5: seems so vibrant and so healthy, But then it suddenly

301
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 5: begins to wither. You're about to see some of these

302
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:42,239
Speaker 5: suddenlies things you've been praying about. You believe that the

303
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 5: source has been cut off, but it seems like it's

304
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 5: still alive. No, get ready, that addiction is about to

305
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 5: suddenly go, that depression is about to suddenly stop, that

306
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 5: opposition is about to suddenly be defeated, that sickness about

307
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 5: to suddenly change.

308
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 4: It may be blooming now.

309
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 5: That's a sign that it's on the way out. That's

310
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 5: a sign that you are close to your breakthrough. You

311
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 5: are close to a new level. You are close to

312
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 5: seeing freedom like you've never seen. When you walk into

313
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 5: someone's house and see a beautiful bouquet of flowers, they

314
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 5: can smell nice, they can look nice.

315
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 4: You never think about.

316
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 5: The fact that the flowers are dead.

317
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 4: That in a few weeks they're going to be thrown out.

318
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 5: When negative things are blooming in your life, like those roses,

319
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 5: it may seem like they're permanent, like they're going to

320
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 5: be there forever, you have to remind yourself it's only temporary.

321
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 5: That sickness may be blooming. It looks so impressive. I

322
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 5: know a secret.

323
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 4: It's not going to last. That trouble in your marriage

324
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 4: looks permanent. No, this too shall pass.

325
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 5: Your child's off course looks like he'll miss his destiny.

326
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 5: Know the source of that trouble has been cut off.

327
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 5: May be blooming now that doesn't mean that it's not dead.

328
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 4: God is already put an end to it. Now.

329
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 5: It may take a little time to see what God promised,

330
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 5: but it's on the way. Don't talk yourself out of it.

331
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 5: Don't get discouraged by what's not happening. I've heard it

332
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 5: said the enemy makes the most noise when.

333
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 4: He's on his way out. You think about how when

334
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 4: Jesus told demons to leave.

335
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 5: People, very often they'd let out a loud scream. They'd

336
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 5: make all this noise, all this commotion when the enemy's

337
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 5: stirring up trouble in your life, making a lot of noise.

338
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 5: Your health went down, finance is not good, your child

339
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 5: is acting worse.

340
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 4: Don't panic.

341
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 5: That's a sign he's on the way out.

342
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 4: He makes the most commotion when.

343
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 5: He's about to leave. There was a lady that had

344
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 5: a dream. In this dream, she was in her house.

345
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,479
Speaker 5: She saw this very evil looking person come in and

346
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 5: start taking her possessions. She was watching from the second

347
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 5: floor over the banister. He was putting her things in

348
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 5: this large bag. In this dream, she began to pray.

349
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 5: She said, in the name of Jesus, I have authority

350
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 5: over you. Leave my things alone. The men begin to

351
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 5: mock her. He said, I don't have to listen to you.

352
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 5: I'm not afraid of you or your prayers. He continued

353
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 5: through the house, putting her things in that bag.

354
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 4: She said it again, you have to go. He laughed

355
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: and said, I don't have to leave your prayers. Don't

356
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 4: stop me. You have no authority over me.

357
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 5: But this time she noticed while he was saying that,

358
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 5: he started putting all of her things back. He kept

359
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 5: mocking her, laughing, causing a commotion.

360
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 4: At the same time, he was returning everything that he took.

361
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 5: This went on until he put everything back in its

362
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 5: proper place. As he was running out of the house,

363
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 5: she could hear him down the street, still saying I'm

364
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 5: not afraid of you.

365
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 4: You have no authority over me.

366
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 5: See the scripture says the enemy comes.

367
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 4: Like a roaring lion.

368
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 5: He's not a lion, but he'll make a lot of noise.

369
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 5: He'll talk a lot of trash, but his bite is

370
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 5: not near as much as his bar. Sometimes, though we're

371
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 5: praying and it doesn't seem like anything is happening, it's

372
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 5: like the enemy is making us saying you'll never get well,

373
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 5: you'll never break the addiction. Your child will never get

374
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 5: back on track if you'll just stay in faith, keep praying,

375
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 5: keep believing. All that time he's stirring up trouble, causing

376
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 5: a commotion. What he won't tell you is he's putting

377
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 5: everything back. He may laugh, but he's putting your children back.

378
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 5: It's putting your health back, putting your freedom back, putting

379
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 5: your dreams back. Don't get discouraged when things get worse.

380
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 5: What you lost is only temporary. It's all coming back,

381
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 5: Jesus said in Mark eleven. Whatever you desire when you pray,

382
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 5: believe that you receive it, and you will have it.

383
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 5: It doesn't say believe that you receive it when you

384
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 5: see it when your health turns around, when the breakthrough comes.

385
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 5: The key is you have to believe that it happens

386
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 5: when you pray. When nothing has changed, the medical report

387
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 5: hasn't improved, the fig tree looks just the same.

388
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 4: You don't have any evidence, but you believe when you

389
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 4: prayed your healing came.

390
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 5: You have to receive it in your spirit before you'll

391
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 5: ever see it in the natural. You have to be

392
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 5: healed in your spirit before you'll be healed in your

393
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 5: physical body. Too often, we believe we're going to receive it.

394
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 4: One day. I'm going to get well. I'm going to

395
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 4: be free. That will limit us.

396
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 5: The prayer of Faith says, when I pray according to

397
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 5: God's word, I believe it happens right.

398
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: When I pray, I have it in my spirit. You

399
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 4: have to receive it in your spirit or you won't

400
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 4: see it in the natural.

401
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 5: When my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she and

402
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 5: my father prayed on December eleventh, nineteen eighty one. That day,

403
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 5: my mother believed she received her healing.

404
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 4: She had just been given a few weeks to live.

405
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 5: She looked so yellow, she only weighed eighty nine pounds.

406
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 5: Nothing in the natural said she was healed. For months,

407
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 5: nothing even looked any different, didn't feel any better. In fact,

408
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 5: it looked like the cancer was winning. But my mother

409
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 5: just kept saying, Father, thank you that on December eleventh,

410
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 5: when we prayed, I received my healing. Thank You that

411
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 5: that day the tide of the battle turned.

412
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 4: In my health.

413
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 5: She kept thanking God, She kept calling herself healthy. She

414
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 5: kept declaring scriptures over her life. I will live and

415
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 5: not die with long life. God will satisfy me. Eventually,

416
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 5: the healing she received in her spirit when she wasn't

417
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 5: well begin to show up in her physical body. She

418
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 5: started getting better and better. Today, thirty eight years later,

419
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 5: my mom is.

420
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 4: So healthy and home.

421
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 5: But when you believe that you receive when you pray,

422
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 5: you don't keep asking God to do it.

423
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 4: You start thanking him.

424
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 5: If I've already received my healing, I don't have to

425
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 5: keep asking God to heal me, keep begging him, God,

426
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 5: please heal me.

427
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 7: Go.

428
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 5: Instead, you start saying, Father, thank you that I am healed,

429
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 5: Thank you that I am free. Think you that I

430
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 5: am blessed. Maybe you're believing for a scholarship. Father, I'm

431
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 5: asking you for this scholarship so I can continue my education. Lord,

432
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 5: I believe I receive it right now in my spirit.

433
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 5: You receive it by faith. From then on, Father, thank

434
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 5: you for that scholarship. You keep thanking God, you keep

435
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 5: talking like it's coming. Every circumstance may say it's never

436
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 5: going to work out. You may not see anything changing.

437
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 5: That's when you have to dig down deep and say,

438
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 5: I am not going to.

439
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 4: Give up on what God promised me.

440
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 5: I am not going to let negative thoughts talk me

441
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 5: out of it. I know what I've received in my

442
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 5: spirit is.

443
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 4: Already on the way.

444
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 5: Hebrew says, hold fast the profession of your faith.

445
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 4: You have to hold fast what God put in your heart.

446
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 5: There are forces constantly trying to convince us that.

447
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 4: What God said is never going to happen. It's been

448
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 4: too long.

449
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 5: There's no sign it would have happened by now. No,

450
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 5: in the unseen realm, things.

451
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 4: Have already changed.

452
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 5: The miracle has already been set into motion.

453
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 4: The roots of what's.

454
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 5: Been trying to stop you have already been cut off.

455
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 5: Now stay in faith until you see the manifestations. Don't

456
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 5: talk yourself out of it. You may be tempted to

457
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 5: let it go. You're about to give up on your dream,

458
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 5: your health, your children.

459
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 4: No get a new grip. It's closer than you think.

460
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 4: You wouldn't be hearing.

461
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 5: This if it wasn't about to happen. When I was

462
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 5: growing up, my father would always have a big conference

463
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 5: at Lakewood every Thanksgiving.

464
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 4: It's one of the highlights of the year.

465
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 5: He would fly in missionaries that we support from all

466
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 5: over the world. One year, he decided he wanted to

467
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 5: feed everyone at Lakewood, so months before the conference he

468
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 5: prayed and asked God to give him two cows. That

469
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 5: way we would have enough food to feed all the people.

470
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 5: He believed he received it when he prayed, But after

471
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 5: week went by and there were no sign.

472
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 4: Of any cows.

473
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 5: He kept believing, telling the church that the cows were coming,

474
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 5: but every voice said, you're wasting your time. Nobody has

475
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 5: ever given you a cow. You better go down to

476
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 5: Chick fil aane eat more chicken. As it got closer,

477
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 5: thoughts whispered.

478
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 4: Just buy the cows. You have the money. It's never

479
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 4: going to happen.

480
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 5: He finally got so worn down he quit talking about

481
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 5: the cows and went out and bought the meat for

482
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 5: the conference. A couple of weeks later, he had a

483
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 5: dream one night. In this dream, he saw this huge

484
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 5: snake out in a field. Inside this snake, he could

485
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 5: see the distinct.

486
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 4: Outline of two cows.

487
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 5: He woke up and it was like God said to him,

488
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 5: I just want you to know you let the enemy

489
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 5: have your cows. Those cows already belonged to my father

490
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,479
Speaker 5: in the unseen realm. They were on the way. But

491
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 5: when we get discouraged, when we quit believing it's never

492
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 5: gonna happen, I'll never get well. Never meet the right person. Joey,

493
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 5: look at the fig tree. It hasn't changed now. My

494
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 5: challenge to you is don't lose your cows. What you've

495
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 5: received in your spirit is already en route. It's just

496
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 5: a matter of time before it shows up. Hold fast

497
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 5: your profession, keep believing, keep thanking God that it's on

498
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 5: the way.

499
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 4: God is faithful.

500
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 5: Don't let the lack of evidence convince you that nothing

501
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 5: is happening. In the unseen realm, things are changing. Forces

502
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 5: that have stopped you in the past have been broken.

503
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 5: The roots have been cut off of that depression, that addiction,

504
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 5: that sickness may look like it's still alive, but it's

505
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 5: just a.

506
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 4: Matter of time. You're going to see what God promised.

507
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 5: And the reason it's more difficult, the reason it seems

508
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 5: like it's getting worse, is because the enemy.

509
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 4: Is on his way out.

510
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 5: I believe and declare what you've received in your spirit
