God said, a 17 00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:44,529 Speaker 2: million years to me is like one second to you. 18 00:00:45,460 --> 00:00:47,220 Speaker 2: He said, well, God, what's a million. 19 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: Dollars like to you? 20 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,060 Speaker 2: God said, son, a million dollars to me is like. 21 00:00:51,060 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: One penny to you. 22 00:00:52,740 --> 00:00:55,170 Speaker 2: He thought about it, said, God, will you give me 23 00:00:55,230 --> 00:01:00,940 Speaker 2: a penny? God said, yeah, just a second. All right, y'all, 24 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 2: say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 25 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 2: I am what it says I am. I have what 26 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,970 Speaker 2: it says I have. I can do what it says 27 00:01:09,050 --> 00:01:11,770 Speaker 2: I can do. Today, I will be taught the word 28 00:01:11,810 --> 00:01:15,990 Speaker 2: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My 29 00:01:16,050 --> 00:01:17,110 Speaker 2: heart is receptive. 30 00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: I will never be the same in Jesus' name. God 31 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:21,620 Speaker 1: bless you. 32 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,300 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you today about a never 33 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,009 Speaker 2: doubt mindset. We all face situations where we don't see 34 00:01:30,069 --> 00:01:33,289 Speaker 2: a way out, how we can get well, how we 35 00:01:33,310 --> 00:01:36,789 Speaker 2: can accomplish a dream, or how our family can be restored. 36 00:01:37,550 --> 00:01:40,540 Speaker 2: All the facts say it's not going to happen. That's 37 00:01:40,580 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: when these thoughts of doubt and discouragement come. If we're 38 00:01:44,220 --> 00:01:47,180 Speaker 2: not careful, we'll live worried and give up on what 39 00:01:47,220 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: we're believing for. But Paul said in Ephesians 3, never 40 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,060 Speaker 2: doubt God's mighty power to work in you and accomplish 41 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,210 Speaker 2: infinitely more than your greatest request. God didn't say never 42 00:02:02,270 --> 00:02:06,270 Speaker 2: doubt how you feel, never doubt because of medical report, 43 00:02:06,690 --> 00:02:08,250 Speaker 2: never doubt the financial struggle. 44 00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:11,290 Speaker 1: We're human. Doubt comes to us all. 45 00:02:11,810 --> 00:02:15,450 Speaker 2: These times we think this doesn't seem possible. We're looking 46 00:02:15,570 --> 00:02:19,110 Speaker 2: at it in our own ability, but God said, never 47 00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:20,470 Speaker 2: doubt what I can do. 48 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,139 Speaker 1: Never doubt my mighty power. 49 00:02:24,020 --> 00:02:28,139 Speaker 2: Never doubt God can open doors you can't open. Never 50 00:02:28,220 --> 00:02:32,900 Speaker 2: doubt God can heal you despite the diagnosis. Never doubt 51 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,260 Speaker 2: God can bring the right people, divine connections, or maybe 52 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,910 Speaker 2: your child is off course and running with the wrong 53 00:02:39,950 --> 00:02:43,450 Speaker 2: crowd and you could live stressed, not able to sleep, 54 00:02:44,169 --> 00:02:47,130 Speaker 2: God is saying, never doubt I can turn him around. 55 00:02:47,810 --> 00:02:51,340 Speaker 2: Never doubt I can bring him into his purpose. But 56 00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: what causes us to get discouraged is when we look 57 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,820 Speaker 2: at circumstances only in our ability. 58 00:02:57,419 --> 00:03:00,820 Speaker 1: Seems too big, too much, too late. That's okay. 59 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: You're not doing life by yourself. There is a force 60 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,579 Speaker 2: for you greater. 61 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: Than any force trying to stop you. 62 00:03:08,780 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 2: At times you'll feel at a disadvantage and what you're 63 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,290 Speaker 2: up against is bigger and stronger and You don't have 64 00:03:14,310 --> 00:03:15,829 Speaker 2: the connections, the. 65 00:03:15,790 --> 00:03:17,150 Speaker 1: Funds, the courage. 66 00:03:18,030 --> 00:03:22,170 Speaker 2: On your own, you're stuck, but never doubt God's mighty power. 67 00:03:22,910 --> 00:03:26,130 Speaker 2: He stopped the sun for Joshua. He parted the Red 68 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,540 Speaker 2: Sea for Moses. He brought three teenagers out of a 69 00:03:29,620 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: fiery furnace without. 70 00:03:31,020 --> 00:03:31,900 Speaker 1: The smell of smoke. 71 00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:36,100 Speaker 2: He opened prison doors for Paul and Silas. He raised 72 00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:40,110 Speaker 2: Lazarus back to life. He took Gideon from afraid and 73 00:03:40,230 --> 00:03:45,059 Speaker 2: insecure to a mighty hero that delivered the Israelites. He 74 00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:48,220 Speaker 2: healed my mother of terminal cancer. He gave us a 75 00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: basketball arena to have church in. The scripture says, is 76 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,210 Speaker 2: there anything too hard for the Lord? You may have 77 00:03:56,260 --> 00:04:00,830 Speaker 2: some situations that seem over your head, impossible. I'm not 78 00:04:00,910 --> 00:04:04,530 Speaker 2: saying you're not gonna feel doubt. I'm saying never doubt 79 00:04:04,730 --> 00:04:08,430 Speaker 2: God's mighty power. Never doubt what the creator of the 80 00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:13,670 Speaker 2: universe can do. That setback, that impossibility, it's a setup 81 00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:17,050 Speaker 2: for him to show out in your life. The way 82 00:04:17,089 --> 00:04:19,909 Speaker 2: you conquer doubt is switch over from what you. 83 00:04:19,810 --> 00:04:21,630 Speaker 1: Can do to what God can do. 84 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: When my father passed and I stepped up to pastor, 85 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,980 Speaker 2: I felt inadequate. 86 00:04:27,980 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: Over my head. 87 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: I didn't have the training, the experience. My dad had 88 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,130 Speaker 2: this big personality, strong and powerful. but I was more 89 00:04:37,210 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 2: quiet and reserved. All these thoughts bombarded my mind. 90 00:04:41,460 --> 00:04:44,419 Speaker 1: Joy, you're not enough. You don't have what it takes. 91 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,460 Speaker 1: You don't get up there and look like a fool. 92 00:04:47,140 --> 00:04:50,980 Speaker 2: The truth is I had doubts in my ability, doubts 93 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,250 Speaker 2: whether I was strong enough, doubts whether the church would 94 00:04:54,290 --> 00:04:57,830 Speaker 2: make it. But what kept me going, the reason I 95 00:04:57,910 --> 00:05:00,890 Speaker 2: didn't give in to my doubts was because I never 96 00:05:01,010 --> 00:05:01,869 Speaker 2: doubted what. 97 00:05:01,850 --> 00:05:02,630 Speaker 1: God can do. 98 00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:06,820 Speaker 2: I believe that He is all powerful, that nothing can 99 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 2: stand against Him, that when we are weak, His power shows. 100 00:05:11,540 --> 00:05:15,659 Speaker 1: Up the greatest. I kept reminding myself, you're the God 101 00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:18,099 Speaker 1: who chose me before I could choose you. 102 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,370 Speaker 2: You're the God who knew me before I was formed 103 00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:22,450 Speaker 2: in my mother's womb. 104 00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:26,549 Speaker 1: The God who goes before me and makes crooked places straight. 105 00:05:26,910 --> 00:05:29,650 Speaker 2: The God who fights my battles. The God who has 106 00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:33,430 Speaker 2: crowned me with your favor. You're not doing life on 107 00:05:33,450 --> 00:05:37,859 Speaker 2: your own. Quit focusing on just your ability, your talent, 108 00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: your resources. 109 00:05:39,460 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: That's gonna cause you to doubt. 110 00:05:41,750 --> 00:05:44,590 Speaker 2: To reach your destiny, you're going to face things that 111 00:05:44,630 --> 00:05:47,410 Speaker 2: are over your head, where you're outnumbered. 112 00:05:48,089 --> 00:05:48,750 Speaker 1: You don't have the. 113 00:05:48,730 --> 00:05:53,300 Speaker 2: Experience, the funds, and that legal situation should sink you. 114 00:05:53,980 --> 00:05:58,780 Speaker 2: This is when many people quit believing, lived worried. Try 115 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,500 Speaker 2: a different approach. God, I may have a lot of 116 00:06:01,580 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: good reasons to doubt in my life, but I am 117 00:06:04,580 --> 00:06:07,900 Speaker 2: never going to doubt your mighty power. I know you're 118 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,150 Speaker 2: still on the throne. You still bring dead things back 119 00:06:11,190 --> 00:06:11,630 Speaker 2: to life. 120 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,420 Speaker 1: You still heal the sick. 121 00:06:13,860 --> 00:06:17,500 Speaker 2: You still multiply the loaves and fish. You still take 122 00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:20,580 Speaker 2: those who are afraid and make them into mighty heroes. 123 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,650 Speaker 2: Anyone can get discouraged. Anyone can talk themselves out of it. 124 00:06:25,420 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: I'm asking you to be a never doubt person. Never 125 00:06:29,420 --> 00:06:33,020 Speaker 2: doubt what our God can do. Never doubt his mighty 126 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,460 Speaker 2: power to turn things around. Never doubt his favor to 127 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,460 Speaker 2: open doors you couldn't open. Never doubt his restoration to 128 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,180 Speaker 2: give you beauty for the ashes, to pay you back 129 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 2: for the wrongs, to turn your mourning into dancing. See, 130 00:06:49,460 --> 00:06:52,419 Speaker 2: when we go through difficulties and things that are not fair, 131 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,500 Speaker 2: the never lies start playing. 132 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,690 Speaker 1: You'll never be happy again. You'll never meet someone new. 133 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,950 Speaker 2: This loss, this breakup, how you were raised, that puts 134 00:07:02,970 --> 00:07:07,690 Speaker 2: you at a disadvantage. Don't believe those lies. God knows 135 00:07:08,089 --> 00:07:13,450 Speaker 2: everything you've been through every hurt, every injustice, every lonely night. 136 00:07:14,050 --> 00:07:17,010 Speaker 2: He said in Isaiah, he will pay you back double 137 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: for the unfair things that have happened. 138 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: Instead of dwelling. 139 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 2: On the never lies, come over to the never doubt mindset. Yes, 140 00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 2: I've had some bad breaks, but I know this is 141 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,610 Speaker 2: not how my story ends. God, I believe your mighty 142 00:07:32,690 --> 00:07:34,470 Speaker 2: power is at work in my life. 143 00:07:35,180 --> 00:07:36,140 Speaker 1: That you're a God of. 144 00:07:36,220 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: Justice, that you won't just bring me out, but you'll 145 00:07:39,420 --> 00:07:41,460 Speaker 2: bring me out better than I was before. 146 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:43,660 Speaker 1: This is what David did. 147 00:07:44,140 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 2: He was a teenager out in the shepherd's fields taking 148 00:07:47,340 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 2: care of his father's sheep. 149 00:07:48,540 --> 00:07:52,500 Speaker 1: He was the youngest of eight sons. His brothers were 150 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: all in the. 151 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: Army and prestigious positions, but he was stuck in the fields, 152 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 2: lonely and at a disadvantage. One day his father asked 153 00:08:01,260 --> 00:08:03,340 Speaker 2: him to take lunch to the brothers and they were 154 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,340 Speaker 2: in another city. That's when he heard Goliath taunting the Israelites, 155 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,750 Speaker 2: making fun of God's people. All the Israeli soldiers ran 156 00:08:12,810 --> 00:08:16,150 Speaker 2: and hid. They were so afraid. I mean, Goliath was 157 00:08:16,190 --> 00:08:20,050 Speaker 2: a giant. He stood over nine feet tall. Something rose 158 00:08:20,230 --> 00:08:24,370 Speaker 2: up in David, a fire on the inside. He said, 159 00:08:24,430 --> 00:08:28,530 Speaker 2: who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the 160 00:08:28,710 --> 00:08:31,650 Speaker 2: armies of the living God? He went to King Saul 161 00:08:31,690 --> 00:08:35,250 Speaker 2: and told him he wanted to fight Goliath. Saul said, David, 162 00:08:35,370 --> 00:08:39,210 Speaker 2: you're just a boy. You're too small, too young. 163 00:08:39,490 --> 00:08:41,670 Speaker 1: You don't have the training, the experience. 164 00:08:42,470 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: Don't let people talk you out of what God put 165 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 2: in your heart. 166 00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:47,540 Speaker 1: There will always be. 167 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 2: A Saul in life. Someone telling you what you can't do. 168 00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:55,260 Speaker 2: You're not good enough. That business won't make it. You're 169 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,890 Speaker 2: not going to get well. Do yourself a favor. Tune 170 00:08:57,910 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 2: all that out. They don't control your destiny. They didn't 171 00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: breathe life into you. They didn't call you, equip you, 172 00:09:05,020 --> 00:09:05,500 Speaker 2: anoint you. 173 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,380 Speaker 1: God did. 174 00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 2: David went out to face this giant. 175 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: He was almost twice David's size. 176 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: And Goliath had a full set of armor, a shield 177 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,500 Speaker 2: that weighed 125 pounds. He was their most skilled warrior, 178 00:09:20,020 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 2: the champion of the Philistine army. And here David had 179 00:09:23,740 --> 00:09:27,990 Speaker 2: no formal training, no armor, no shield. All he had 180 00:09:28,030 --> 00:09:31,250 Speaker 2: was a slingshot and a few stones. How could he 181 00:09:31,290 --> 00:09:33,870 Speaker 2: have this boldness, this faith. 182 00:09:34,090 --> 00:09:36,410 Speaker 1: When all the circumstances were against him? 183 00:09:37,010 --> 00:09:40,239 Speaker 2: Opposition much bigger and people telling him not to do it. 184 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,180 Speaker 1: He gives us his secret. 185 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,699 Speaker 2: He said, Goliath, you come against me with a sword 186 00:09:45,820 --> 00:09:48,820 Speaker 2: and a shield, but I come against you in the 187 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: name of the Lord God of Israel. 188 00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:53,260 Speaker 1: He was saying in. 189 00:09:53,220 --> 00:09:58,060 Speaker 2: Effect, yes, I doubt my size. Yes, I doubt my equipment. Yes, 190 00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 2: I doubt my training, but I will never doubt the 191 00:10:01,340 --> 00:10:05,790 Speaker 2: mighty power of my God. I may be half your size, Goliath, 192 00:10:06,309 --> 00:10:09,030 Speaker 2: but I know the God in me is more powerful 193 00:10:09,110 --> 00:10:12,859 Speaker 2: than anything you can do. I may only have a slingshot, 194 00:10:13,220 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 2: but I know this slingshot with the favor of. 195 00:10:15,620 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: God is more powerful than your weapons. 196 00:10:26,179 --> 00:10:30,180 Speaker 2: David wasn't discouraged because of his lack of size, lack 197 00:10:30,220 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 2: of resources, because he knew God was fighting for him, 198 00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:38,380 Speaker 2: that he had a secret weapon, something that King Saul 199 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,260 Speaker 2: couldn't seize. David's father that left him out in the fields, 200 00:10:42,300 --> 00:10:43,380 Speaker 2: he didn't recognize it. 201 00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:45,250 Speaker 1: Goliath couldn't see it. 202 00:10:45,809 --> 00:10:47,870 Speaker 2: When he first saw David, he laughed and said, am 203 00:10:47,910 --> 00:10:50,380 Speaker 2: I a dog that you'd come at me with a stint? 204 00:10:51,580 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 2: David put a stone in that sling and slung that rock, 205 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,750 Speaker 2: hit Goliath in the forehead and knocked him unconscious. David 206 00:10:59,790 --> 00:11:04,650 Speaker 2: had less equipment, less training, but never doubt God's mighty 207 00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:09,180 Speaker 2: power working in you to accomplish not just what you're 208 00:11:09,220 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 2: hoping for, but infinitely beyond your wildest dreams. On the 209 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,660 Speaker 2: way to your destiny, there will be giants. You can't 210 00:11:18,730 --> 00:11:22,490 Speaker 2: become all you were created to be without oppositions. 211 00:11:23,150 --> 00:11:24,370 Speaker 1: Then the thoughts will come. 212 00:11:24,510 --> 00:11:27,110 Speaker 2: Ah, the sickness is too big and your business is 213 00:11:27,170 --> 00:11:30,550 Speaker 2: not going to make it. This family issue will never resolve. 214 00:11:31,309 --> 00:11:34,589 Speaker 2: You're right where David was, looking at a giant twice 215 00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:38,050 Speaker 2: your size. You can do what the other men in 216 00:11:38,090 --> 00:11:41,630 Speaker 2: the army did, run, hide, get talked out of your dream. 217 00:11:42,590 --> 00:11:45,860 Speaker 2: Or you can deal with doubt a different way, like David. 218 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,150 Speaker 2: Not denying the giant, not psyching yourself up. 219 00:11:50,290 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: I don't feel fear. I don't really have this problem. 220 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,700 Speaker 1: It's okay to be honest. God, I have doubts in 221 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,099 Speaker 1: what I can do. This giant looks way over my head. 222 00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 2: I know in the natural, I don't have a chance, 223 00:12:03,220 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 2: but God, I will never doubt your mighty power. 224 00:12:06,580 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: I know you are fighting my battles. You are breathing 225 00:12:09,620 --> 00:12:13,830 Speaker 1: on my slingshot. You will show yourself strong in my life. 226 00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:17,850 Speaker 2: When I say never doubt, I don't mean you're not 227 00:12:17,890 --> 00:12:19,630 Speaker 2: going to have doubts about your ability. 228 00:12:20,330 --> 00:12:21,900 Speaker 1: Thoughts telling you it's not going to work out. 229 00:12:22,380 --> 00:12:24,910 Speaker 2: Those thoughts come to us all, but you have to 230 00:12:24,950 --> 00:12:28,770 Speaker 2: have this knowing, this trust that even though I may 231 00:12:28,809 --> 00:12:32,170 Speaker 2: doubt my ability, God, I will never doubt what you 232 00:12:32,230 --> 00:12:32,689 Speaker 2: can do. 233 00:12:33,650 --> 00:12:35,750 Speaker 1: I received an email from a young woman. 234 00:12:36,140 --> 00:12:39,420 Speaker 2: She was born with spina bifida at two years old. 235 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: She had to have surgery to untether her spinal cord. 236 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,059 Speaker 2: Her parents were told she'd never be able to walk, run, 237 00:12:47,620 --> 00:12:50,790 Speaker 2: any kind of physical activity. And They had all these 238 00:12:51,050 --> 00:12:54,100 Speaker 2: good reasons to doubt and doubt that she would live 239 00:12:54,130 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 2: a normal life, doubt that she could go to school, doubt. 240 00:12:57,580 --> 00:13:00,979 Speaker 1: That she'd ever be married. They were facing a giant. 241 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,820 Speaker 2: Medically speaking, she would be in a wheelchair and limited. 242 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,610 Speaker 2: These parents had been coming to Lakewood for many years 243 00:13:08,660 --> 00:13:12,069 Speaker 2: and they understood what is impossible. 244 00:13:11,490 --> 00:13:13,550 Speaker 1: With men is possible with God. 245 00:13:14,490 --> 00:13:18,090 Speaker 2: And they never tried to deny the facts, deny the 246 00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 2: medical reports, but they didn't let the doubt stay. They 247 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,540 Speaker 2: didn't dwell on their lack of ability and what the 248 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,210 Speaker 2: report said. Their attitude was, even though we don't see 249 00:13:30,270 --> 00:13:33,630 Speaker 2: a way, God, we know you have a way. We 250 00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:36,390 Speaker 2: may doubt what we can do, but we will never 251 00:13:36,450 --> 00:13:40,100 Speaker 2: doubt your mighty power. God, you can do what medicine 252 00:13:40,140 --> 00:13:42,420 Speaker 2: cannot do. You can heal our daughters. 253 00:13:43,230 --> 00:13:45,910 Speaker 1: Sometimes we're not seeing breakthroughs. 254 00:13:45,370 --> 00:13:49,250 Speaker 2: And our giant is not falling because we're only looking 255 00:13:49,309 --> 00:13:50,250 Speaker 2: at our ability. 256 00:13:50,980 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: We don't have the resources. Medically speaking, we can't get well. 257 00:13:54,940 --> 00:13:58,180 Speaker 2: This relative looks like they'll always be off course. We're 258 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 2: looking at it in the natural, but God is supernatural. 259 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 2: He's going to do things that go beyond reasoning, beyond logic, 260 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,140 Speaker 2: things that are out of the ordinary. You couldn't plan it. 261 00:14:11,460 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 2: You couldn't put it on paper. It's going to defy 262 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: the odds. Every day her mother would exercise her little legs. 263 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,780 Speaker 2: The whole time speaking faith over her and declaring and 264 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 2: thanking God for her healing. At 11 months old, much 265 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,540 Speaker 2: to the doctor's surprise, she started walking. 266 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,830 Speaker 1: They couldn't explain it. She joined the children's choir here 267 00:14:33,850 --> 00:14:36,270 Speaker 1: at Lakewood. She loved to sing and dance. 268 00:14:37,180 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: But at the age of 10, there was a problem 269 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 2: with her spinal cord and she had to have an 270 00:14:41,860 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 2: emergency surgery. When she woke up, she was paralyzed from 271 00:14:46,220 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: the neck down. The doctor told her, unfortunately, she would 272 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 2: never be able to walk again. They did everything they could, 273 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: medically speaking, but they came to the end of their ability. 274 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,260 Speaker 1: Of course, doubts flooded her mind. The doctors can't do 275 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: anything and I can't even move. She could have stayed 276 00:15:05,180 --> 00:15:07,890 Speaker 1: there defeated, bitter, angry, but she. 277 00:15:07,810 --> 00:15:10,630 Speaker 2: Said, God, you did it for me once. I know 278 00:15:10,690 --> 00:15:13,770 Speaker 2: you can do it for me again. She told the doctor, 279 00:15:13,790 --> 00:15:17,410 Speaker 2: I walked in here on my own and I will 280 00:15:17,430 --> 00:15:21,710 Speaker 2: walk out of here on my own. Every circumstance said 281 00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:25,550 Speaker 2: she was paralyzed. Her life was limited, just accepted. But 282 00:15:25,630 --> 00:15:28,910 Speaker 2: on the inside, she could hear God whispering, you will 283 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,340 Speaker 2: walk again. There will always be two voices competing for 284 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,990 Speaker 2: your attention, the voice of doubt and the voice of faith. 285 00:15:37,990 --> 00:15:42,110 Speaker 2: Often the doubting voices are the loudest. They'll bombard your mind. 286 00:15:42,130 --> 00:15:45,070 Speaker 1: You can't get well. You can't break this addiction. Your 287 00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:47,820 Speaker 1: business won't make it. You wake up in the night 288 00:15:47,860 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: and the thoughts are still coming. 289 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 2: But if you'll get quiet, there's another voice, a still 290 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 2: small voice. It's God speaking to you, saying, I'm fighting 291 00:15:57,570 --> 00:15:59,950 Speaker 2: this battle. This too shall pass. 292 00:16:00,230 --> 00:16:04,609 Speaker 1: You will recover. Healing is coming. Freedom is coming. Abundance 293 00:16:04,670 --> 00:16:07,230 Speaker 1: is coming. Now you get to choose. 294 00:16:08,010 --> 00:16:10,970 Speaker 2: Will you let the voice of doubt play and worry 295 00:16:11,090 --> 00:16:12,430 Speaker 2: and dwell. 296 00:16:12,210 --> 00:16:15,590 Speaker 1: On the negative, not going to happen thoughts? Or will 297 00:16:15,610 --> 00:16:18,930 Speaker 1: you do what Paul said and say, no, thanks. I 298 00:16:18,970 --> 00:16:19,790 Speaker 1: will never. 299 00:16:19,620 --> 00:16:22,479 Speaker 2: Doubt what God can do in my life. God, I 300 00:16:22,540 --> 00:16:26,100 Speaker 2: know your mighty power is greater than anything trying. 301 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:26,460 Speaker 1: To stop me. 302 00:16:27,430 --> 00:16:30,270 Speaker 2: That's what allows God to do more than you can 303 00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:31,050 Speaker 2: ask or think. 304 00:16:31,770 --> 00:16:35,150 Speaker 1: But the tension is we may doubt our own ability. 305 00:16:35,810 --> 00:16:39,230 Speaker 2: We may have thoughts because of the medical report, the 306 00:16:39,270 --> 00:16:40,290 Speaker 2: financial situation. 307 00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:44,130 Speaker 1: That's okay. The key is to never doubt what God 308 00:16:44,210 --> 00:16:44,630 Speaker 1: can do. 309 00:16:45,710 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 2: If you'll take the emphasis off of your ability, what 310 00:16:49,060 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 2: you have, what you can control and put that emphasis 311 00:16:52,870 --> 00:16:54,180 Speaker 2: on what God can do. 312 00:16:54,450 --> 00:16:57,310 Speaker 1: That's how you stay in faith. That's what causes God 313 00:16:57,350 --> 00:17:00,550 Speaker 1: to show out in your life. When she told the 314 00:17:00,610 --> 00:17:01,550 Speaker 1: doctor that she was. 315 00:17:01,490 --> 00:17:04,950 Speaker 2: Going to walk out of that room, despite being told 316 00:17:05,010 --> 00:17:09,250 Speaker 2: she was permanently paralyzed, she said she felt her toes 317 00:17:09,310 --> 00:17:12,570 Speaker 2: begin to move. That was the start of the miracle. 318 00:17:13,109 --> 00:17:14,370 Speaker 1: Little by little, she got better. 319 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 2: Her therapist told her out of all of her patients 320 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 2: with spina bifida, she was the only one that could 321 00:17:22,260 --> 00:17:25,850 Speaker 2: walk without a brace. My friend Elena went on to 322 00:17:25,930 --> 00:17:30,330 Speaker 2: graduate from college. She got her master's degree. Last weekend, 323 00:17:30,490 --> 00:17:34,990 Speaker 2: I dedicated her beautiful baby girl with her husband and family. 324 00:17:36,109 --> 00:17:40,950 Speaker 2: That's what happens when you never doubt God's mighty power. Sure, 325 00:17:40,990 --> 00:17:43,290 Speaker 2: we may doubt what we can do, but you're not 326 00:17:43,390 --> 00:17:46,450 Speaker 2: on your own. The Most High God is working in 327 00:17:46,490 --> 00:17:51,410 Speaker 2: your life. He's all-powerful. He created the universe. He has 328 00:17:51,450 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 2: you in the palm of His hand. You may be 329 00:17:54,390 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 2: in a situation like Elena. You don't see a way out. 330 00:17:58,940 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 2: The odds are against you. You could easily let all 331 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: this doubt fill your mind and talk you out. 332 00:18:05,020 --> 00:18:08,750 Speaker 1: Of your healing, convince you that you're limited. you have 333 00:18:08,790 --> 00:18:10,750 Speaker 1: to remember who's on your side. 334 00:18:11,390 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 2: The God who caused Elena to walk when she was 335 00:18:14,630 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: supposed to be paralyzed. 336 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,300 Speaker 1: The God who changed. 337 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,420 Speaker 2: The city council member's mind and gave us the compact center. 338 00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:25,619 Speaker 2: The God who turned a shepherd boy, David, into a king. 339 00:18:26,340 --> 00:18:28,929 Speaker 2: The God who brought water out of a rock the 340 00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 2: God who gave Sarah a baby at 90 years old, 341 00:18:32,420 --> 00:18:35,580 Speaker 2: the God who took Joseph from the pit to the palace, 342 00:18:36,060 --> 00:18:40,239 Speaker 2: the God who made Elisha invisible to the enemy, the 343 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,820 Speaker 2: God who gave Isaac a hundred times more than he 344 00:18:43,859 --> 00:18:48,350 Speaker 2: planted in a famine, the God who multiplied the five 345 00:18:48,470 --> 00:18:51,010 Speaker 2: loaves and two fish to feed thousands. 346 00:18:51,690 --> 00:18:54,669 Speaker 1: Who are we talking about? That's our King. That's our God. 347 00:18:55,230 --> 00:18:57,410 Speaker 1: Never doubt His mighty power. 348 00:18:58,690 --> 00:19:01,550 Speaker 2: Because when you live from this place of faith, that's 349 00:19:01,590 --> 00:19:06,130 Speaker 2: when giants fall. That's when supernatural healing comes. That's when 350 00:19:06,190 --> 00:19:09,630 Speaker 2: doors open that we can't open. That's when God will 351 00:19:09,670 --> 00:19:12,450 Speaker 2: do infinitely more than you can imagine. 352 00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:15,100 Speaker 1: A few years ago, we were headed. 353 00:19:14,900 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 2: To one of our Nights of Hope in another city 354 00:19:17,220 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 2: and we left the hotel and driving to the venue. 355 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,580 Speaker 2: It started at 7.30, but traffic was really bad on 356 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 2: the freeways. All backed up and supposed to take us 357 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,070 Speaker 2: 30 minutes, but We'd already been driving an hour. 358 00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:32,340 Speaker 1: Didn't look like we would make it on time. 359 00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:35,479 Speaker 2: And our assistant called the venue and told them what 360 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 2: was happening. They said, don't worry, we'll send the police 361 00:19:39,020 --> 00:19:42,379 Speaker 2: to come get you. These two police officers met us 362 00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:45,330 Speaker 2: on the freeway. One of the officers got in our 363 00:19:45,410 --> 00:19:49,070 Speaker 2: car to drive. He pulled onto the shoulder and started 364 00:19:49,109 --> 00:19:52,959 Speaker 2: passing everyone out. People are looking at us honking like 365 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:53,740 Speaker 2: what are you doing? 366 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,660 Speaker 1: Get back in line. He didn't pay any attention. 367 00:19:57,060 --> 00:20:01,050 Speaker 2: He just kept going Once the traffic cleared he didn't 368 00:20:01,090 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 2: drive the speed limit. He drove 65 70 and We 369 00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:08,939 Speaker 2: passed by other police officers. They didn't stop us. When 370 00:20:08,980 --> 00:20:11,370 Speaker 2: they saw the officer driving our car, they just waved. 371 00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:14,730 Speaker 2: When we got downtown, he didn't wait for the light 372 00:20:14,770 --> 00:20:17,250 Speaker 2: to turn green. If it was clear, he ran the 373 00:20:17,290 --> 00:20:20,830 Speaker 2: red light. Other officers on the corner, they just waved, 374 00:20:20,890 --> 00:20:21,429 Speaker 2: no problem. 375 00:20:21,710 --> 00:20:24,379 Speaker 1: Here's the point. The reason we could break. 376 00:20:24,150 --> 00:20:27,169 Speaker 2: The law was because the law was riding with us. 377 00:20:28,970 --> 00:20:32,540 Speaker 2: Without that officer, we'd have got pulled over, probably got 378 00:20:32,580 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 2: a ticket. 379 00:20:33,540 --> 00:20:36,380 Speaker 1: But because the law was in our car, we could 380 00:20:36,460 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: supersede the speed limit. 381 00:20:38,540 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 2: We weren't bound by normal limitations. In the natural, it 382 00:20:43,420 --> 00:20:46,790 Speaker 2: may be impossible for you to get well. The laws 383 00:20:46,850 --> 00:20:50,730 Speaker 2: of medical science, like with Elena, like with my mother, 384 00:20:51,290 --> 00:20:54,710 Speaker 2: say there's no way. The good news is someone is 385 00:20:54,810 --> 00:20:59,270 Speaker 2: riding with you that supersedes those laws. God can do 386 00:20:59,330 --> 00:21:03,510 Speaker 2: what medicine cannot do. He made your body. He can 387 00:21:03,550 --> 00:21:07,490 Speaker 2: bring healing. And there's no explanation where it doesn't make sense. 388 00:21:08,250 --> 00:21:12,929 Speaker 2: But if you just focus on the natural, logical, your ability, 389 00:21:13,510 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 2: what the experts say, you're going to live limited because 390 00:21:16,980 --> 00:21:20,959 Speaker 2: there will be giants you can't overcome and dreams you 391 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: can't accomplish. Doubt will come, cause you to shrink back. 392 00:21:25,810 --> 00:21:29,730 Speaker 2: You have to remind yourself who's riding with you. You're 393 00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:32,110 Speaker 2: not in that car, so to speak, by yourself. 394 00:21:32,450 --> 00:21:35,930 Speaker 1: Jesus took the wheel. The most high God is ordering 395 00:21:35,970 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: your steps. The reason you can break the law is 396 00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:42,580 Speaker 1: the law is riding with you. The God who controls 397 00:21:42,619 --> 00:21:43,300 Speaker 1: the universe. 398 00:21:44,060 --> 00:21:47,300 Speaker 2: He's not limited to the laws of nature, the laws 399 00:21:47,340 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 2: of science, the laws of finance. 400 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: He makes streams in the deserts. 401 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 2: He caused oil to never run out for three and 402 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 2: a half years for a widow in the Bible. 403 00:21:57,820 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: Supernatural provision. 404 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,050 Speaker 2: He sent ravens to feed Elijah by the brook during 405 00:22:03,109 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 2: a famine. 406 00:22:04,270 --> 00:22:07,470 Speaker 1: We look at our finances, what we make, we run 407 00:22:07,490 --> 00:22:08,090 Speaker 1: the numbers. 408 00:22:08,790 --> 00:22:11,270 Speaker 2: If I get this increase and save this much and 409 00:22:11,730 --> 00:22:14,830 Speaker 2: maybe get a bonus, that's all good. But what God 410 00:22:14,930 --> 00:22:19,290 Speaker 2: is going to do is not natural, not ordinary, something 411 00:22:19,330 --> 00:22:24,190 Speaker 2: you can't calculate. He's not limited to your job, your boss, 412 00:22:24,230 --> 00:22:28,510 Speaker 2: the economy, the family you come from. He supersedes those things. 413 00:22:29,090 --> 00:22:32,030 Speaker 2: One touch of his favor will put you into overflow, 414 00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:36,109 Speaker 2: into abundance, into more than enough. When you're tempted to doubt, 415 00:22:36,670 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 2: remember who's in your car. This is where Moses missed it. 416 00:22:40,710 --> 00:22:43,650 Speaker 2: He was in the desert leading the Israelites and God 417 00:22:43,670 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: had brought them out of slavery. They were headed toward 418 00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:49,750 Speaker 2: the promised land. But the people got tired of eating 419 00:22:49,790 --> 00:22:53,189 Speaker 2: the manna each day, something like bread that formed on 420 00:22:53,230 --> 00:22:56,950 Speaker 2: the ground. They came to Moses complaining, we don't want 421 00:22:56,990 --> 00:22:58,110 Speaker 2: this food anymore. 422 00:22:58,609 --> 00:22:59,770 Speaker 1: We want meat. 423 00:22:59,970 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 2: Like we used to have in Egypt. Moses was frustrated, 424 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,980 Speaker 2: went to God and told them what they were saying. 425 00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:09,340 Speaker 2: God said, all right, Moses, I'm gonna give you meat, 426 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,620 Speaker 2: not for a day, not for a week, but for 427 00:23:12,660 --> 00:23:13,179 Speaker 2: a month. 428 00:23:13,780 --> 00:23:16,340 Speaker 1: You will have all the meat they could ever want. 429 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,900 Speaker 2: Moses said, God, there are 600,000 men out. 430 00:23:20,830 --> 00:23:23,310 Speaker 1: Here, plus the women and children. 431 00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:27,010 Speaker 2: If we butchered all of our flocks, all of our cattle, 432 00:23:27,430 --> 00:23:30,530 Speaker 2: we wouldn't have that much meat. Moses was looking at 433 00:23:30,570 --> 00:23:33,889 Speaker 2: it only in his ability, only in what they had. 434 00:23:34,630 --> 00:23:36,830 Speaker 2: He told God all the reasons he couldn't do it, 435 00:23:37,460 --> 00:23:39,780 Speaker 2: How there were too many people, that's just not possible. 436 00:23:40,340 --> 00:23:43,810 Speaker 2: When he finally finished, God asked him a simple question. 437 00:23:44,270 --> 00:23:48,629 Speaker 2: He said, Moses, when did I become weak? He was saying, 438 00:23:49,010 --> 00:23:52,950 Speaker 2: did you forget I spoke worlds into existence? I created 439 00:23:52,990 --> 00:23:57,340 Speaker 2: the universe. Do you think somehow that I lost my power? 440 00:23:58,260 --> 00:24:02,780 Speaker 2: God shifted the wind and millions of quail flew in 441 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 2: from the oceans. There were so many quail that they 442 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,260 Speaker 2: gathered them up all day, all night, and the next 443 00:24:09,300 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 2: day too. The scripture said every family gathered no less 444 00:24:13,740 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 2: than 50 bushels of quail. It was Costco size, not 445 00:24:18,420 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: one dinner. They got quail in bulk. 446 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: Here's what's interesting. 447 00:24:23,030 --> 00:24:26,730 Speaker 2: Quail don't normally fly that far from the water, way 448 00:24:26,810 --> 00:24:29,830 Speaker 2: out there in the desert, but God shifted the wind 449 00:24:30,490 --> 00:24:33,570 Speaker 2: and out of the ordinary, the quail came into the camp. 450 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 2: You don't know what God's about to shift in your life. 451 00:24:38,460 --> 00:24:41,110 Speaker 2: We look in the natural, Joel, not me, man. I'm 452 00:24:41,190 --> 00:24:44,310 Speaker 2: stuck in my career. This sickness is permanent. I'll never 453 00:24:44,369 --> 00:24:48,270 Speaker 2: meet someone. We're saying there can't be quail out here 454 00:24:48,690 --> 00:24:50,290 Speaker 2: in the desert. That's not possible. 455 00:24:51,230 --> 00:24:53,650 Speaker 1: Why don't you tune out all that doubt and get 456 00:24:53,690 --> 00:24:54,750 Speaker 1: in agreement with God? 457 00:24:55,310 --> 00:24:58,130 Speaker 2: God, I believe you have some shifts coming my way. 458 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,580 Speaker 2: Sudden turnarounds, healing, good breaks, abundance, things I can't explain. 459 00:25:04,490 --> 00:25:08,210 Speaker 1: Never doubt God's mighty power. Sure, you may doubt. 460 00:25:08,050 --> 00:25:11,890 Speaker 2: Your ability, your strength, your resources, but never doubt what 461 00:25:11,950 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 2: God can do. You may be in a situation like Moses. 462 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,409 Speaker 2: You don't see how it can work out. All the 463 00:25:19,470 --> 00:25:21,780 Speaker 2: facts tell you it's not gonna happen. It's too late, 464 00:25:22,140 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 2: too hard. God is asking you what he asked Moses. 465 00:25:26,580 --> 00:25:29,820 Speaker 2: When did I become weak? You will never face a 466 00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:34,490 Speaker 2: giant that God can't bring down. Never an obstacle that 467 00:25:34,530 --> 00:25:38,150 Speaker 2: you can't overcome. Never a dream that he can't bring 468 00:25:38,190 --> 00:25:41,570 Speaker 2: to pass. Instead of telling him all the reasons it 469 00:25:41,650 --> 00:25:45,129 Speaker 2: can't happen, why don't you do like David? Look at 470 00:25:45,170 --> 00:25:48,510 Speaker 2: that obstacle and say, I come against you, not just 471 00:25:48,570 --> 00:25:51,970 Speaker 2: in my might, not just in my ability. I come 472 00:25:52,130 --> 00:25:54,869 Speaker 2: in the name of the Lord God of Israel. I 473 00:25:54,930 --> 00:25:59,830 Speaker 2: know who's driving my car. A God who supersedes natural laws. 474 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: You wouldn't be hearing. 475 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,020 Speaker 2: This if God wasn't up to something. This is an 476 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:05,899 Speaker 2: important time. 477 00:26:06,260 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: You have to let faith rise up. 478 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,379 Speaker 2: You're on the verge of seeing something you've never seen. 479 00:26:12,180 --> 00:26:14,859 Speaker 2: The enemy will work overtime trying to talk you out 480 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,379 Speaker 2: of it. No, no, no, the giant's too big. You 481 00:26:17,420 --> 00:26:20,930 Speaker 2: can't feed people in the desert. God is saying, never 482 00:26:20,990 --> 00:26:24,450 Speaker 2: doubt my mighty power to accomplish. 483 00:26:24,090 --> 00:26:26,770 Speaker 1: Infinitely more than you could ever imagine. 484 00:26:27,300 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 2: If you'll have this never doubt mindset, I believe and 485 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 2: declare you're about to see giants come down. Like Elena, 486 00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 2: supernatural healing. Like Moses, a shift, supernatural provision, breakthroughs, the 487 00:26:42,550 --> 00:26:46,030 Speaker 2: fullness of your destiny in Jesus name. 488 00:26:46,590 --> 00:26:48,790 Speaker 1: And if you receive it, can you say amen today? 489 00:26:50,609 --> 00:26:53,230 Speaker 2: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 490 00:26:53,310 --> 00:26:54,390 Speaker 2: the Lord of your life. 491 00:26:54,890 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, I 492 00:26:58,580 --> 00:27:01,510 Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. 493 00:27:02,130 --> 00:27:05,410 Speaker 2: I make you my Lord and Savior. If you prayed 494 00:27:05,450 --> 00:27:08,909 Speaker 2: that simple prayer, we believe you got born again.
