And I like to start with 47 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 5: something funny and I heard about this husband. He was 48 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 5: quietly reading his newspaper when his wife snuck up behind 49 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 5: him and hit him in the head with. 50 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 4: A frying pan. He said, what was that for? 51 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 5: She said, that was for the piece of paper I 52 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 5: found in your pocket with. 53 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 4: The name Mary Lou on it. 54 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 5: He said, oh, honey, that's just one of the horses 55 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 5: that I bet on at the racetrack last week. She apologized, 56 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 5: went about her business. Two days later, she hit him 57 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 5: on the head with a bigger frying pan. When he 58 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 5: came to he said, what no world was that for? 59 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 5: She said, your horse just called. Say it like you 60 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 5: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 61 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 5: says I am. I have what it says I have. 62 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 5: I can do what it says I can do. Today 63 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 5: I will be taught the word of God. 64 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 4: God. 65 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 5: I boldly confess, my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 66 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 5: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 67 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 5: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 68 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 5: pregnant with possibility. When a woman is pregnant, for the 69 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 5: first few months, she doesn't look any different. She's the 70 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 5: same size, wears the same clothes, has the same amount 71 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 5: of energy from the outside there's no sign that she's 72 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 5: going to have a baby. And if you just looked 73 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 5: at it in the natural, you could think you're not pregnant. 74 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 4: There's nothing different about you. 75 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 5: But what you can't see is on the inside a 76 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 5: seed has taken root. 77 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 4: Conception has occurred. 78 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 5: In a few months, she'll start showing gaining more weight. 79 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 4: A few more months, she'll. 80 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 5: Feel something kicking on the inside out of nowhere, a 81 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 5: kick here, a kick there. She's still never seen the 82 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 5: baby in person, she's never held that baby, but she's 83 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 5: not worried. 84 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 4: She knows the baby is on the way. 85 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 5: Nine months after she conceives, she'll give birth to that 86 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 5: little child in the same way. You may not realize it. 87 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 4: But you are pregnant. 88 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 5: God has placed all kinds of potential in you. There 89 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 5: are gifts, talents, ideas He's put dreams, businesses, books, songs, healing, freedom. 90 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 5: You are pregnant with possibility, pregnant with increase, pregnant with healing. 91 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 5: And just because you don't see anything happening doesn't mean 92 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 5: it's not going to come to pass. 93 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 4: That seed God put. 94 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 5: In you has already taken root. Conception has occurred. Like 95 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 5: this woman. You may not see any sign of it 96 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 5: for some time, but don't worry. Your time is coming. 97 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 5: You are pregnant with your miracle, pregnant with abundance. 98 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 4: May be pregnant with a new business, and. 99 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 5: Instead of being discouraged down a joy It's never gonna happen. 100 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 5: It's been so long. I've been through too much, and 101 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 5: our attitude should be I can feel something kicking on 102 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 5: the inside. I know this baby is still alive. I'm 103 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 5: going to give birth to what God put in me. 104 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 5: Maybe you've struggled with an addiction for a long time, 105 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 5: instead of believing the lie that you could never break it. No, 106 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 5: I'm pregnant with freedom. I'm pregnant with wholeness. You may 107 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 5: not see any changes, but I can feel something kicking. 108 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 5: I can feel something stirring down in my spirit. When 109 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 5: you live with this kind of expectancy, you're going to 110 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 5: give birth to what God put in you. Psalm seven 111 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 5: says the ungodly are pregnant with trouble. 112 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 4: The good news is that's not you. You are the righteous. 113 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 5: You're not pregnant with trouble, with bad break, sickness, lack, depression. 114 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 5: You are pregnant with favor, pregnant with talent, pregnant with victory. 115 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 5: All through the day, Lord, I want to thank you 116 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 5: that I'm pregnant with your promises that I will give 117 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 5: birth to everything you put in me. 118 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 4: You may not see any changes. 119 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 5: May not look in the natural like it's ever going 120 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 5: to work out, but deep down in your spirit, you 121 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 5: have to believe that conception has occurred. You are pregnant 122 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 5: with that new house you've been dreaming about. In God's 123 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 5: perfect timing, when everything is ready, you're going to give birth. 124 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 5: Your family may be struggling dysfunction in your home. 125 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 4: Don't live worried. 126 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 5: You are pregnant with restoration, pregnant with a breakthrough, or 127 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 5: maybe business. 128 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 4: Is slow you lost your main client. You could easily 129 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 4: be discouraged. 130 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 5: But you can feel something kicking on the inside, something 131 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 5: saying you are the head and not the tell whatever 132 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 5: you touch will prosper and succeed. Perhaps your dream looks impossible. 133 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 5: It's been a long time. You tried and it didn't work, 134 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 5: But deep down you can't help it. Something keeps kicking, 135 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 5: telling you that it's on the way. What God started, 136 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 5: he will finish. I talked to a gentleman recently he'd 137 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 5: been diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told him that it 138 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 5: was a very invasive type that would spread quickly to 139 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 5: other areas. After the surgery, he was going to have 140 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 5: to take one year of chemotherapy. 141 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: The prognosis didn't look good. He didn't get depressed. 142 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 5: He didn't go around saying why God me. He understood 143 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 5: this principle that he was pregnant with healing. The doctors 144 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 5: performed the surgery. Afterwards, they came in his room scratching 145 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 5: their heads. They were certain that it was an invasive type, 146 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 5: that it would spread quickly, very dangerous. But when they 147 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 5: retested it, it wasn't. 148 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 4: What they thought. 149 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 5: They were able to remove all the cancer, didn't need 150 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 5: any more treatment. Today he's totally cancer free. You may 151 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 5: be struggling with an illness, fighting a battle in your 152 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 5: health instead of accepting it, thinking that's the. 153 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 4: Way it's always going to be. 154 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 5: Keep reminding yourself that you are pregnant. You already have 155 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 5: conceived that healing is already in you. 156 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 4: It's just a. 157 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 5: Matter of time before you give birth. Nothing can snatch 158 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 5: you out of God's hands. Don't go around negative complaining. 159 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 4: Turn it around. 160 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 5: The medical report doesn't look good. But I can feel 161 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 5: healing kicking down on the inside of me. No weapon 162 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 5: formed against me will prosper. Doesn't look like I could 163 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 5: ever get out of debt, but I can feel abundance 164 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 5: kicking on the inside. I will lend and not borrow, 165 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 5: or all my circumstances say that I'll be bearing my 166 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 5: whole life. Never meet the right person, never break the addiction. 167 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 5: But deep down I can feel something stirring in my spirit. 168 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 5: Can I tell you I am looking at pregnant people today. 169 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 5: You are pregnant with possibility. Quit telling yourself that you 170 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 5: could never get ahead. You don't have enough of this, 171 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 5: enough of that. 172 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 4: No, you are. 173 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 5: Pregnant with success, pregnant with ideas, pregnant with your destiny. 174 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 5: You're going to give birth to what God put in you. 175 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 5: It's not too late. You haven't missed your chance. In 176 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 5: the scripture, Sarah was nearly one hundred years old when 177 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 5: she gave birth to Isaac, way too old in the natural. 178 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 5: But we serve a supernatural God. He can make a 179 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 5: way when you don't see away. Don't abort your baby, 180 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 5: don't talk to yourself out of your dreams, don't give 181 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 5: up on what God promised you. You can still give birth, 182 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 5: you can still meet the right person, still start your business, 183 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 5: still go to college, still break the addiction. That seed 184 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 5: is still alive in you. 185 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,479 Speaker 4: And here's the key. 186 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 5: You can't judge what's in you by what's around you. 187 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 5: All of Sarah's circumstances said, you'll be bearing. 188 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 4: Your whole life. You're too old. 189 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 5: Nobody your age has babies. That's impossible. If she were 190 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 5: to believed that lie, let that seed take root, it 191 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 5: would have never happened. You can draw in the negative 192 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 5: with your doubt, or you can draw in God's blessings 193 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 5: with your faith. Don't let what you see around you 194 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 5: cause you to give up on your dreams. I was 195 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 5: in a large city last week, and part of the 196 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 5: city was very beautiful, but another part was very run down. 197 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 5: Miles and miles of abandoned homes, people living next to 198 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 5: boarded up houses. 199 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 4: We drove through during the daytime. 200 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 5: There were hundreds, if not thousands, of people outside, young 201 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 5: and old, just hanging out, no purpose, no direction. Most 202 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 5: of them that's all they've ever known. They were born 203 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 5: into it, growing up in the projects, seeing drugs, mediocrity, violence. 204 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 5: You may be in some kind of limited environment today 205 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 5: and nothing inspiring around you in the natural, there's no 206 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 5: way you could get out, get an education, be successful. 207 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 5: But what's around you does not determine what God put 208 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 5: in you. You have seeds of greatness. You are pregnant 209 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 5: with success, pregnant with ability, pregnant with talent. God did 210 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 5: not create anyone without putting something significant on the inside. 211 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 5: Don't let what's on the outside, how you were raised, 212 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 5: lack dysfunction convince you to abort your dream. When you 213 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 5: get quiet alone at night, when it's just you and God, 214 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 5: if you'll listen carefully, you'll hear something whispering. 215 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 4: This is not your destiny. You were made for more. 216 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 4: What is that that's your baby kicking. It's because you're 217 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 4: about to give birth. 218 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 5: You're going to see supernatural opportunities, explosive blessings, divine connections. 219 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 5: God's going to help you go where you could not 220 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 5: go on your own. This is what happened to my father. 221 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 5: He was raised in a very poor family. His parents 222 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,479 Speaker 5: were cotton farmers, and they lost everything during the Great Depression. 223 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 5: Growing up, he had no money, no education, barely enough 224 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 5: food to even survive. Didn't look like he would ever 225 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 5: amount to much. The statistics said he would just have 226 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 5: to stay on the farm and pick cotton the rest. 227 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 4: Of his life. 228 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 5: But statistics don't determine your destiny. 229 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 4: God does. 230 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 5: Don't become a victim of your environment. 231 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 4: You are a victory. Where you are is not who 232 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 4: you are. 233 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 5: When my father was seventeen, he gave his life to Christ, 234 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 5: the first one in his face. When he did, something 235 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 5: came alive on the inside. Suddenly he had a dream 236 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 5: to become a pastor. He knew one day he would 237 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 5: pastor a large church. God dropped that in his spirit. 238 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 5: He told me, Joel, when I was seventeen, I made 239 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 5: the decision that my children would never be raised in 240 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 5: the poverty and lack that I was raised in. What 241 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 5: happened He became pregnant. He could feel that baby kicking 242 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 5: on the inside. But if someone were to have studied 243 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 5: my father at the age of seventeen in that limited environment, 244 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 5: nobody in his family had ever been successful, they would 245 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 5: have thought nothing special about you. You're not going to 246 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 5: do anything great. In other words, you're not pregnant. There's 247 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 5: no sign on the outside. You're not showing. You look 248 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 5: just the same. But what they couldn't see. 249 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 4: Was conception had already occurred. 250 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 5: He looked the same on the outside, but on the 251 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 5: inside a seed had taken root. He knew he was 252 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 5: destined to leave his mark in his generation. He didn't 253 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 5: let people talk him out of it. He didn't let 254 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 5: his environment hold him back. He kept praying, believing, taking 255 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 5: steps of faith. He gave birth to everything God put 256 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 5: in him. Maybe like my father, the odds are against 257 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 5: you in some area. The medical report doesn't look good, 258 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 5: or your environment is not healthy. Nobody's supporting you. You 259 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 5: don't have the connections, the resources. Don't talk to yourself 260 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 5: out of it. Keep reminding yourself. 261 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 4: That you are pregnant. 262 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 5: The seed put in you by your creator has already 263 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 5: taken root. Doesn't have anything to do with what you 264 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 5: have or don't have, what family you come from, how 265 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 5: talented you are. 266 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 4: It is a destiny seed. 267 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 5: When you give birth, you're going to go further than 268 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 5: you ever imagine. Sarah was eighty years old, never had 269 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 5: a baby. Everywhere she looked it said that she would 270 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 5: be bearing her whole life. Too bad, you're too old. 271 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 5: It's just impossible. She couldn't find another eighty year old 272 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 5: woman that it ever had a baby. If she could 273 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 5: at least found one, she could have said, well, God, 274 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 5: you did. 275 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 4: It for her, you can do it for me. She 276 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 4: couldn't find anyone. 277 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 5: You may look around and think, Joel, I don't know 278 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 5: anyone that got out of my neighborhood and done something significant. 279 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 5: I don't know anyone that's overcome the illness I'm dealing with, 280 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 5: or nobody in my family has been able to break 281 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 5: these addictions. 282 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 4: The good news is you can be the first. 283 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 5: You can set the new standard. You can be the 284 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 5: barrier breaker. God said to Sarah, I will give you 285 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 5: a son. You will be the mother of nations. Kings 286 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 5: of people will. 287 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 4: Come out of you. Here's an eighty year old woman 288 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 4: that's barren. 289 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 5: She's living in the desert, no medical procedures, no infertility treatments. 290 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 4: Yet God says, you have kings in you. You have 291 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 4: nations in you. 292 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 5: He was saying, Sarah, don't let the circumstances fool you. 293 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 5: Don't let your environment talk you out of it. Don't 294 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 5: let your own thoughts discourage you. You are pregnant with greatness. 295 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 5: God is saying the same thing to you. You have 296 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 5: kings in you. You have greatness in you. You are 297 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 5: pregnant with success, pregnant with talent, pregnant with your destiny. 298 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 5: The prophet Joel said, to wake up the mighty men, 299 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 5: wake up the mighty women. I'm here to wake up 300 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 5: your dreams. Wake up your talents, Wake up your potential. 301 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 5: Wake up what God put in you. You may have 302 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 5: let some circumstances convince you that it's never gonna happen, 303 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 5: But I believe you're gonna start feeling some kicking on 304 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 5: the inside. That baby, that dream, that promise is still 305 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 5: alive in you. You You better get ready. You're gonna 306 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 5: give birth to something that's gonna take you further than 307 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 5: you could ever imagine. It's gonna thrust you to a 308 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 5: new level of your destiny. A lady told me how 309 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 5: she had had a stroke and she'd been in the 310 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 5: hospital for three weeks and finally was able to come 311 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 5: back home, and. 312 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 4: She was very depressed. 313 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 5: She didn't think she'd ever be able to walk again. 314 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 5: She lost her passion, lost her drive. The scripture talks 315 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 5: about fighting the good fight of faith. You can't be 316 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 5: passive and just accept whatever comes along and think that 317 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 5: that's your lot in life. We all have bad breaks, disappointments. 318 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 5: Those challenges are not there to defeat you. They're there 319 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 5: to promote you. On the other side is a new 320 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 5: level of God's goodness. 321 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 4: But you have to do your part and get your 322 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 4: fire back. 323 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 5: One Sunday, she heard me on television talking about how 324 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 5: God wants to restore what's been stolen, how he can 325 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 5: give you beauty for how you can still live healthy 326 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 5: and whole. When she heard that, she said, something woke 327 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 5: up in her spirit, something came alive on the inside. 328 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 5: What happened that baby started kicking. She was already pregnant 329 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 5: with healing. God already had the restoration there. But when 330 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 5: her spirit came alive, in other words, when she started believing, 331 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 5: that's when things begin to change. 332 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 4: Instead of going around. 333 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 5: Thinking I'll never walk again, I'll never get well, she 334 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 5: started declaring, I am healthy, I am strong, I am 335 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 5: well able, I am restored against all the odds. Way 336 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 5: ahead of schedule, she told how she's already walking again, 337 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 5: she's getting stronger, healthier. But it all started when something 338 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 5: woke up in her spirit. Maybe, like her, you've let 339 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 5: something still your passion. You don't think you could ever 340 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 5: get well or meet the right person accomplish a dream. 341 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 5: Everything you need is already in you. If you'll stir 342 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 5: your faith up like she did and get in agreement with. 343 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 4: God, then you will give birth. 344 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 5: To your healing, birth to your dreams, birth to those promises. 345 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 5: Genesis three point fifteen says the seed of the woman 346 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 5: will bruise the head of the serpent in the garden 347 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 5: of Eden. 348 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 4: You remember how the serpent deceived Eve and brought about 349 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 4: all kinds of trouble. 350 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 5: God was saying, in effect, Eve, it's payback time. You're 351 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 5: going to give birth to something that's going to defeat 352 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 5: the thing that's tried to defeat you. 353 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 4: Your seed will bruise his head. 354 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 5: Too often we're looking for something from the outside to 355 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 5: help us overcome, but God has put it. 356 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 4: On the inside. 357 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 5: If you'll give birth to what God put in you, 358 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 5: you won't have to rely on other people. If you'll 359 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 5: give birth to that dream, that gift, that talent, my Father, 360 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 5: your gift will make room for you. 361 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 4: Your gift will open some new doors. 362 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 5: Or maybe if you'll give birth to that idea, that book, 363 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 5: that talent, then you can deliver yourself from lack and struggling. 364 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 5: Jesus said, out of your belly will flow rivers of 365 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 5: living water. Your deliverance is not going to come from 366 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 5: other people. Your promotion, your healing, your breakthrough is going 367 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 5: to come. 368 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 4: From within you. Out of your belly shall flow rivers. 369 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 5: This is where Sarah almost missed it. She thought the 370 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 5: promise would come through somebody else. She reasoned it out, 371 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 5: thinking she was too old. How could she have kings 372 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 5: and nations in her She was in her eighties, She 373 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 5: couldn't have a baby. She tried to help God out, 374 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 5: had her husband Abraham sleep with her maid. They had 375 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 5: a baby, but it wasn't the promised child. God said, Sarah, 376 00:20:59,040 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 5: I didn't put. 377 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 4: The in somebody else. You don't need other people to 378 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 4: deliver you, Sarah. 379 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 5: I put the promise in you. God is saying the 380 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 5: same thing to us. You are pregnant with your miracle. 381 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 5: You are pregnant with the victory. You don't need other people. 382 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 5: You don't have to hope they help you, hope they 383 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 5: like you, hope they give you a good break. Like Sarah, 384 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 5: it's not gonna come from the outside. It's gonna come 385 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 5: from the inside. God has already put it in you. 386 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 5: If you'll dare believe that you have what it takes. 387 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 5: Go out each day with expectancy, knowing that you're pregnant. 388 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 4: Then you can deliver yourself. 389 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 5: You will give birth to what God put on the 390 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 5: inside of you. Paul said it this way in Ephesians. 391 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 5: God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all. We 392 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 5: can ask or think according to the power that works 393 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 5: in you. It's not according to the power that works 394 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 5: in your neighbor, your cousin, your pastor your friend. The 395 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 5: power is working in you. Well, you say, Joel, I 396 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 5: believe I'm pregnant. I have big dreams. I'm standing on 397 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 5: God's promises, but everything is coming against me. Seems like 398 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 5: the more I pray, the worse it gets. I'm doing 399 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 5: the right thing, but the wrong thing is happening. 400 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 4: Here's the beauty. Pain is a sign that you're about 401 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 4: to give birth. 402 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 5: Trouble, difficulties, being uncomfortable, that's a sign that you're getting closer. 403 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 5: When Victoria was pregnant with our two children, first couple months, 404 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 5: no big deal. 405 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 4: Everything was fine. 406 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 5: But about seven or eight months in her back started hurting, 407 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 5: her feet started swelling, she couldn't sleep well at night. 408 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 4: The longer she was pregnant, the. 409 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 5: More uncomfortable she was when she went into labor. I 410 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 5: was in the delivery room, right next to her bed, 411 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 5: and she had her hand on my bic app. When 412 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 5: she would have a contraction, it would hurt so badly. 413 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 5: She would squeeze my arm as hard as she could. 414 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 4: She would scream. Then I would scream. 415 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 5: The closer she got to the birth, the more painful 416 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 5: it was. When everything comes against you, your child's acting up, 417 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 5: trouble at work, set back in your finances. 418 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 4: Don't get discouraged. You're about to give birth. You're about 419 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 4: to see a promise come to pass. 420 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 5: In these tough times is when many people abort their 421 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 5: dreams thinking. I knew it wouldn't work out, Joel. The 422 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 5: bank turned me down. The medical report wasn't good. I 423 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 5: didn't get the promotion. No, recognize those are labor pains. 424 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 5: You're getting closer. Stay in faith, keep doing the right thing. 425 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 4: The birth is on the way. 426 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 5: There was a young couple out hiking through the woods. 427 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 5: They came upon this large field of wild mushrooms. They 428 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 5: decided to take some home and cook them. They had 429 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 5: some friends over that night, and they all ate dinner together. 430 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 5: One of the side issues were these salted mushrooms. At 431 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 5: one point, the family cat came in the room. 432 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 4: She was a large cat that loved to eat. 433 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 5: The husband grabbed some mushrooms and fed them to the cat, 434 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 5: and she ate them like they were dessert. About an 435 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 5: hour later, he heard the cat making a strange sound. 436 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 5: He ran in there to check on her, and she 437 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 5: was lying flat on her back, foaming at the mouth 438 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 5: in intense pain. He called the veterinarian. The doctor said, 439 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 5: what has the cat eaten recently? The man said, wild mushrooms, 440 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 5: but we've all eaten them too. The doctor said they 441 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 5: may be poisonous. You better get up to the emergency 442 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 5: room and. 443 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 4: Get checked out. 444 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 5: The man and all of his guests rushed to the 445 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 5: emergency room. A few hours later, he came back to 446 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 5: his house and went into check on the cat, thinking 447 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 5: that she would be knocked out. Instead, the cat was 448 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 5: sitting there calmly with the seven kittens. 449 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 4: She had just given birth two. 450 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 5: Sometimes what we think is a setback is really just 451 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 5: labor pains. 452 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 4: That difficulty you're facing. 453 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 5: It's not the end. It's a part of the birthing process. 454 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 5: You're about to step into a new level of your destiny. 455 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 5: Don't be discouraged by the disappointment, the closed door, the 456 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 5: bad break. 457 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 4: That's a sign you're about to give birth. I read 458 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 4: about a gentleman that was having a tough time paying 459 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 4: his bills. He'd had a rough childhood. 460 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 5: At the age of two, his father went to the 461 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 5: store to buy groceries and never returned home, left the 462 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 5: mother to raise two small children. In college, he fell 463 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 5: in love and met his wife. He is so poor 464 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 5: he had to borrow a suit and tie for his wedding. 465 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 5: He and his wife had a newborn baby, and they 466 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 5: were living in this old rundown trailer. He drove a 467 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 5: rusted out car held together with wire and duct tape 468 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 5: in the summers. During the day, he worked for a 469 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 5: lawn company, making sixty dollars a week. At night, he 470 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 5: worked as a janitor, cleaning offices. He had a dream 471 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 5: to become a writer, but he couldn't afford a typewriter. 472 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 5: He borrowed one from a friend and set it up 473 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 5: in his small laundry room. When he wasn't working, he 474 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 5: would spend hour after hour writing fiction. He sent his 475 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 5: stories away to different publishers and agents, but every one 476 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 5: of them was rejected. He didn't even know if people 477 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 5: were really reading them. He wrote one final story, but 478 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 5: was so discouraged through it in the trash. His wife 479 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 5: came home, found it crumpled up in the garbage, got 480 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 5: it out, and eventually they sent that story to a 481 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 5: different publisher. This time the publisher responded and offered him 482 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 5: a contract. That story went on to sell over five 483 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 5: million copies. In nineteen seventy six, it was made into 484 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 5: a movie. It became one of the top grossing films 485 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 5: of that year. That young man was Stephen King, one 486 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 5: of the most successful writers of our day. Like him, 487 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 5: some of you are pregnant with a book, pregnant with 488 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 5: a movie, pregnant with the business, may be pregnant with 489 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 5: the charity. You've had disappointments, You tried and it didn't 490 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 5: work out, but you can still feel the kicking on 491 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 5: the inside. 492 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 4: You can't get away from it. 493 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 5: Don't talk yourself out of it. 494 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 4: It's all a part of the process. 495 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 5: Keep trying, keep believing, doing everything you can, and at 496 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 5: the right time you will give birth. The right people 497 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 5: will show up, the right opportunities, the right breaks. You 498 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 5: couldn't make it happen on your own. It was the 499 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 5: hand of God. And what He's put in you is 500 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 5: going to be bigger than you can imagine, better than 501 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 5: you've ever dreamed, more rewarding than you thought possible. Now 502 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 5: do your part, get your hopes up every morning. Remind 503 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 5: yourself you are pregnant with rejection, failure, disappointments, defeat. You 504 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 5: are pregnant with victory, pregnant with success, pregnant with the 505 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 5: favor of God. And sure you may have had some 506 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 5: bad breaks, but like Sarah, you are not going to 507 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 5: live your life barn.
