I promise you we'll make it feel right 42 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 4: at home. I like to start with something funny, and 43 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 4: I heard about this man that was out walking on 44 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 4: the beach and God said, son, you've been so faithful, 45 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 4: I'm going to grant you one special wish. The man 46 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 4: was so excited. He said, God, I've always wanted to 47 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 4: go to Hawaii, but I'm afraid to fly. So my 48 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 4: wish is that you would build me a bridge across 49 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 4: the ocean. God said, son, that's impossible. Think of the 50 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 4: logistics of that. Now take a moment and wish again. 51 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 4: He said, Okay, God, I've been married four times. All 52 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 4: my ex wives say I'm so insensitive. So my wish 53 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 4: is that I would be able to understand a woman. 54 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 4: I want to know why they think like they think, 55 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 4: why they feel like they feel. There was a long pause. 56 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 4: God said, do you want two lanes or four lanes 57 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 4: on that bridge? All the men said, amen, say it 58 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 4: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 59 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 4: what it says I am. I have what it says 60 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 4: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 61 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 4: Today I will be taught the word of God. I'll 62 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 4: boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 63 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 64 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 65 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 4: favor in the storm. When we think of favor, we 66 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 4: think of something good happening. We received a promotion, we 67 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 4: met someone special, the medical report turned around. We know 68 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 4: that's the favor of God. But when we face difficulties 69 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 4: and things aren't going our way, we're still taking the 70 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 4: medical treatment. Our finances haven't turned around, the promotion didn't 71 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 4: go through. Doesn't seem like we have favor. We have 72 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 4: all these obstacles. But having favor doesn't mean you want 73 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 4: to have challenges. Favor is what's keeping those challenges from 74 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 4: defeat eating you. When you're in a difficult time. You 75 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 4: may not see it, but favor is what's pushing back 76 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 4: forces of darkness. Favor is what's keeping that sickness from 77 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 4: taking your life. Favor is what protected you in that accident. 78 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 4: If you didn't have favor, you wouldn't still be here. 79 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 4: The enemy would have taken you out. You may not 80 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 4: recognize it, but you have favor in the storm, Favor 81 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 4: taking the treatment, Favor dealing with an addiction. The scripture 82 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 4: says God's favor surrounds you. It doesn't come and go. 83 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 4: It's with you in the good times and in the 84 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 4: tough times. When the Israelites were headed to the Promised Land, 85 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 4: they came to the Red Sea. Pharaoh had just let 86 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 4: them go, but he changed his mind and he and 87 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 4: his army came chasing them. The Israelites were at a 88 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 4: dead end. They had nowhere to go, and Moses held 89 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 4: up his staff and the waters parted. Those two million 90 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 4: people begin to walk through on dry ground. We look 91 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 4: at it today, and in hindsight, it's easy to see 92 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 4: they had favor. The water's parted. But imagine being there, 93 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 4: having to walk between walls of water, not knowing if 94 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 4: at any moment they were going to collapse, holding your 95 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 4: children tightly, the enemy chasing you, closing in. It was loud, 96 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 4: people were panicking, all kinds of commotion. I don't think 97 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 4: they walked through calm and collected. They were nervous, afraid, 98 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 4: thinking of everything that could go wrong. What if these 99 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 4: walls of water don't hold up and we all drown. 100 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 4: What if we won't make it through in time, What 101 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,679 Speaker 4: if the Phairoah catches us. There were a thousand things 102 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 4: they could have worried about. It wasn't until they got 103 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 4: to the other side, until they were back on land, 104 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 4: that they begin to rejoice. Then they knew they had 105 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 4: favor the truth. It is they had favor the whole time, 106 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 4: they just couldn't see it. Favor is what was holding 107 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 4: back the walls of water. Favor is what kept the 108 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 4: enemy from catching them. When we're in the middle of 109 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 4: a difficulty, sometimes we don't recognize that we have favor. 110 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 4: It's easy to focus on all the things that could happen. 111 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 4: What if I don't get well, what if I can't 112 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 4: find another job, what if my child doesn't get back 113 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 4: On course, you could live worried, losing sleep, panic, or 114 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 4: stay in peace. You have favor in the storm. God 115 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 4: is pushing back forces of darkness for you. He's not 116 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 4: allowing the sickness, the addiction, the trouble at work to 117 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 4: keep you from your purpose. There is a force working 118 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 4: for you in the middle of the storm that is 119 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 4: greater than any force that's trying to stop you. When 120 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 4: you look around, you may see walls of water. You 121 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 4: see opposition, trouble, sickness. It looks frightening, but keep the 122 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 4: right perspective. It cannot defeat you. Like the Israelites. The 123 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 4: favor God put on your life is going to bring 124 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 4: you safely through. The enemy doesn't have the final say. 125 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 4: God does, and what he has purposed for your life 126 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 4: will come to pass. No bad break can stop you. 127 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 4: No sickness, no addiction, no person. God is in control. 128 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 4: Instead of being frustrated by the problem, worried about your health, 129 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 4: upset over the bad break, turn it around. Father. Thank 130 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 4: you that I have favor in the storm. Thank you 131 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 4: that favor is keeping my enemies from defeating me. It's 132 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 4: easy to believe we have favor when good things are happening. 133 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 4: What I want us to see is we have favor 134 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 4: when we're in between walls of water. We have favor 135 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 4: when enemies are chasing us. Times we're so focused on 136 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 4: the threat and what's coming against us, we don't recognize 137 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 4: that without the goodness of God, we wouldn't still be standing. 138 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 4: The Psalmist said, God has anointed you. He is steadying you, 139 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 4: making you strong, and your enemies will not get the 140 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 4: best of you. In the middle of that difficulty, you 141 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 4: need to remind yourself who you are. You are anointed, 142 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 4: You've been handpicked by God. He's crowned you with favor, 143 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 4: he said. He always causes you to triumph. Right now, 144 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 4: he's steadying you. He's making you stronger. If you could 145 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 4: see behind the scenes. You would see him pushing back 146 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 4: the opposition. You would see him making your crooked places straight, 147 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 4: lining up the right people. Instead of complaining about the storm, 148 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 4: you need to let the enemy know you are not 149 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 4: going to get the best of me. You are messing 150 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 4: with the wrong person. He may knock me down, but 151 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 4: you can't knock me out when you come against me. 152 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 4: One way, God said he will defeat you and cause 153 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 4: you to flee seven ways. You don't have to live worried, 154 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 4: focused on the problems, wondering why it happened. You know 155 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 4: a secret. You have fever in the storm. You know 156 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 4: God is fighting your battles. You know what was meant 157 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 4: for harm. He's turning to your advantage. Here's the key. 158 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 4: The enemy wouldn't be fighting you if you weren't a threat. 159 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 4: He wouldn't be trying to stop you, if you weren't 160 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 4: on the verge of something amazing. He knows you're about 161 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 4: to step into a new level. He knows you're about 162 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 4: to take new ground for your family. You're about to 163 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 4: come into your promised land. You're about to see something 164 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 4: you've never seen. He can sense God's about to exceed 165 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 4: your expectations. So He's working overtime to try to get 166 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 4: you worried, frustrated, overwhelmed by problems, not expecting anything good, 167 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 4: or get ready. Favor is about to turn things around. 168 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 4: Favor is about to catapult you to a new level. 169 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 4: Favor is going to help you break that addiction. Well, Joel, 170 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 4: if I had favor, why did I have these problems 171 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 4: in the first place. Favor is not going to keep 172 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 4: you from the storm, but favor will bring you out 173 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 4: of the storm. God wouldn't have allowed it if he 174 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 4: didn't have a purpose. We don't understand everything that happens. 175 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 4: Sometimes life is not fair, but you have to trust 176 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 4: that God knows what he's doing. At the Red Sea, 177 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 4: before it parted, the Israelites could have thought, God, you 178 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 4: said we were going to the Promised Land. You brought 179 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 4: us out of slavery. Why did you change your mind? 180 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 4: Why are you going to let Favro and his men 181 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 4: recapture us? Didn't make sense to them. But God's ways 182 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 4: are not our ways. When that water hearted, the Israelites 183 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 4: went through on dry ground, Phaarah in his army. The 184 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 4: waters closed back up when they came chasing them, and 185 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 4: they all drowned. Sometimes God will take you through a 186 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 4: difficulty to get rid of what's chasing you. You'll make 187 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 4: it through the storm. But what you didn't need, what 188 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 4: was going to hinder you for years to come, the addiction, 189 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 4: the dysfunction, the toxic relationship. It won't make it through. 190 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 4: If those enemies had not drowned, the Israelites would have 191 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 4: lived with the constant threat that any moment Pharaoh and 192 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 4: his men could show up and try to recapture them. 193 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 4: And yes, it was nerve racking having to go through 194 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 4: walls of water. I'm sure they didn't like it, but 195 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 4: God had a purpose. You may not like the difficulty, 196 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 4: it may not seem fair, but you're going to come 197 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 4: out of that storm free from things that would have 198 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 4: held you back your whole life. God told the Israelites 199 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 4: the enemies you see today you will see no more. 200 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 4: God is saying that to you. That addiction that's held 201 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 4: you back for years is not permanent. When you come 202 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 4: through the storm, you will see it no more. That sickness, 203 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 4: that trouble at work, the loneliness is not your destiny. 204 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 4: Breakthroughs are coming, freedom is coming, healing is coming, Abundance 205 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 4: is coming. What's trying to stop you is only temporary. 206 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: Don't be discouraged by the storm. God has you in 207 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 4: the palm of his hand. He didn't send you into 208 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 4: the storm by yourself. He's right there with you. The 209 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 4: enemy cannot take you out. God has a hedge of 210 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 4: protection around you. He controls the walls of water. It 211 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 4: may seem frightening, but he's pushing back the opposition. Like 212 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 4: the three Hebrew teenagers that were thrown into the fiery furnace, 213 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 4: He's the fourth man in the fire. You're not in 214 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 4: there alone. Favor is in the fire with you. When 215 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 4: those teenagers came out of the furnace, unharmed, without the 216 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 4: smell of smoke, all their enemies had a new perspective. 217 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 4: They knew there was something special about them. They knew 218 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 4: they were anointed. The king even said, from now on, 219 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 4: we're going to worship their God. They didn't like going 220 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 4: through the furnace, but God used that difficulty to get 221 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 4: rid of what would have hindered them their whole life. 222 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 4: God changed their enemies mind and gave them a new respect. 223 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 4: What you're going through may not be all about you. 224 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 4: It's about God getting rid of what's hindering you. He's 225 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 4: putting you in position to reach the fullness of your destiny. 226 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 4: And the scripture says, do not be intimidated by your enemies. 227 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 4: Don't be intimidated by that cancer. It's no match for 228 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 4: are God, he created your body. Don't be intimidated by 229 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 4: the financial setback. Not having enough, lack struggling is not 230 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 4: your destiny. You keep honoring God being your best. You 231 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 4: will come to a point where you see that no 232 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 4: more there is favor on your life that will cause 233 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 4: you to prosper. Even in a desert, you will flourish. 234 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 4: Even in a famine. You don't have to get out 235 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 4: of the difficulty to succeed. Change jobs, change neighborhoods, change positions. 236 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 4: You have favor in the famine, God will cause you 237 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 4: to succeed in the middle of the trouble. This is 238 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 4: what happened with Isaac in Genesis twenty six. There was 239 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 4: a great famine in the land. Isaac was going to 240 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 4: move away to a different country, try to get out 241 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 4: of the famine, find someplace where he could plant his 242 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 4: crops have good soil and plenty of water. But God 243 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 4: told him to stay where he was, to not leave 244 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 4: that place, And God would bless him and his descendants. 245 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 4: God was saying, Isaac, you don't have to go somewhere 246 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 4: to try to find favor. You have favor in the famine. 247 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 4: I'm going to bless you. I'm going to prosper you 248 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 4: in spite of what the conditions look like. Logically speaking, 249 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 4: it didn't make sense. The ground was hard and dry, 250 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 4: not enough water to irrigate his crops. Isaac could have 251 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 4: talked himself out of it, but he understood this principle 252 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 4: that he had favor in the famine. He went out 253 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 4: in the middle of the drought and planted his whole field. 254 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 4: I can hear his neighbors, the Philistines, saying, what is 255 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 4: this guy thinking? He is wasting his time? Doesn't he 256 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 4: know nothing can grow in a famine. Verse twelve says 257 00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 4: that year Isaac's crops were tremendous. He harvested one hundred 258 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 4: times more than he planted for The Lord blessed him, 259 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 4: and he became very wealthy. Notice, he didn't have to 260 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 4: leave try to get out of the famine, go somewhere 261 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 4: to be blessed. He had favor in the famine. God 262 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 4: can increase you in spite of what's going on around. 263 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 4: You don't complain because you don't have the job you want, Joel, 264 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 4: if my supervisor would give me credit, if I could 265 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 4: move out of this neighborhood, if business wasn't so slow. 266 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 4: There is favor on your life right now to cause 267 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 4: you to prosper. But as long as you think you 268 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 4: have too many disadvantages, you're waiting to get out of 269 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 4: the famine, then you'll start believing, then you'll start being 270 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 4: your best. That will limit you. Do like Isaac father, 271 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 4: thank you that I have favor in the famine. Thank 272 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 4: you that you're opening doors no man can shut, causing 273 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 4: me to stand out, bringing opportunity. Thank you that whatever 274 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 4: I touch will prosper and succeed. Your job is not 275 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 4: your source. God is your source. He can bless you 276 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 4: in unusual ways. He's not limited by your salary, by 277 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 4: your training, by your experience. He has ways to increase 278 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 4: you that you've never thought of. He can cause people 279 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 4: to be good to you. He can bring opportunity. He 280 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 4: can give you ideas in creativity. A man told me 281 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 4: recently how he received an inheritance from a family member 282 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 4: he had never met. He didn't even know they were related. 283 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 4: They didn't have the same last names. At first, he 284 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 4: thought it was a mistake, but that one good break 285 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 4: put him into overflow. He didn't see it coming. God 286 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 4: has some unexpected blessings, things you don't see coming. Well, Joel, 287 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 4: I don't know any relatives like that. Neither did he, 288 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 4: but they found him. The scripture taught about how when 289 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 4: you honor God, when you keep him first place, his 290 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 4: blessings will chase you down. You don't have to go 291 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 4: after them, they will come after you. But too often 292 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 4: we're focused on the conditions. I can't expect anything good. 293 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 4: I'm in a famine. God is not limited by the conditions, 294 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 4: by the economy, by your job, by your family, by 295 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 4: your training. He owns it all. Like with Isaac, one 296 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 4: touch of his favor will take you and your family 297 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 4: to a new level. The scripture says Isaac's wealth continued 298 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 4: to increase. He acquired large flocks of sheep and goats 299 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 4: and great herds of cattle, and had many employees. This 300 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 4: all started from him believing that he had favor in 301 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 4: the famine. He could have focused on the conditions. Lived 302 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 4: with a limited mindset. I can't plant here, I can't 303 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 4: exp affect anything good. I'm in a drought. Instead, he 304 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 4: dared to believe, are you letting the conditions talk you 305 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 4: out of what God put in your heart, thinking one day, 306 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 4: when you get favor, when you're out of the famine, 307 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 4: when the company promotes you, when you get the training. No, 308 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 4: you have favor right now. Favor is what gives you 309 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 4: the advantage. Favor is what's going to catapult you to 310 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,479 Speaker 4: a new level. Favor is going to make things happen 311 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 4: that you didn't see coming. A few years ago, my 312 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 4: sister Lisa and her husband Kevin were going to sell 313 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 4: their house. Typical houses in their neighborhood were taking anywhere 314 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 4: from six months to two years to sell. They couldn't 315 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 4: purchase their new house until they sold the old one. 316 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 4: They could have thought, too bad, it's going to be 317 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 4: a long wait. We picked the wrong time to sell. Instead, 318 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 4: like Isaac, they believed they had favor in the fa 319 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 4: and they prayed asked God that their house would not 320 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 4: only sell quickly, but that they would get close to 321 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 4: their asking price. The first day it was on the market, 322 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 4: a lady came in and said, I'll buy it, and 323 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 4: if you'll take it off the market, I'll pay you 324 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 4: more than you're asking for it. God is not limited 325 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 4: by the conditions. He's limited by our thinking. Why don't 326 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 4: you take the limits off of him? Quit thinking of 327 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 4: all the reasons why you can't be blessed, can't accomplish 328 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 4: your dreams, why you won't get well, not meet the 329 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 4: right person. You may not see away, But God has 330 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 4: a way when you believe, all things are possible. Isaac 331 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 4: was so blessed, the scripture says, the Philistines became jealous 332 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 4: of him. The same people that were making fun of 333 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 4: him for planning in the famine, the same ones that 334 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 4: were telling him he was wasting his time, now they 335 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 4: were upset that he was being blessed. It's funny how 336 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 4: people that won't do what you're willing to do will 337 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 4: become jealous when you're blessed and they're not. You dare 338 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 4: to take the step of faith, You dared to pray, 339 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 4: to stretch, to plant, to believe. Now you're seeing increase 340 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 4: in favor. Don't be surprised when the Philistines show up. 341 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 4: The naysayers are not happy when they see you rising higher. 342 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 4: They'll find fault, criticize, try to bait you into conflict. 343 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 4: Just run your race. It's not about you, it's about 344 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 4: the favor on your life. Don't let the chatter distract you, 345 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 4: the negative comments, the jealousy, the envy. You don't have 346 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 4: to answer to people. You don't have to prove yourself. 347 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 4: Stay focused on your goals, and God will take care 348 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 4: of the philistines. God will take care of the opposition. 349 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 4: In the Scripture, a man named Zaruba Bell was rebuilding 350 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 4: the Temple in Jerusalem. It had been destroyed years earlier, 351 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 4: and a king had issued a decree to have it rebuilt. 352 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 4: Everything was going great, laid the foundation, built the altar. 353 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 4: Then the opposition came people that didn't want it rebuilt. 354 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 4: They started bribing the workers, paying people to cause trouble, 355 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 4: stirring up all kinds of turmoil. Zeruba Bell could have thought, God, 356 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 4: I'm doing what you asked me to do, but I 357 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 4: have all this opposition. These powerful people are coming against me. 358 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 4: It didn't look like he had favor. It looked like 359 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 4: his enemies were getting the best of him. But you 360 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 4: can't see what God is doing behind the scenes. It 361 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 4: may look like it's going to stop you, but if 362 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 4: you'll stay in faith, God will use it to promote you. 363 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,479 Speaker 4: The people opposing sent a letter to their king lying 364 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 4: about Zerubebel, saying, these people that are re building the 365 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 4: temple are evil people. They're going to try to overthrow you. 366 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 4: They're not going to pay taxes. It's going to be 367 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 4: a big mistake. The king asked the Rubabil who gave 368 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 4: him permission to rebuild it. He told the king, we 369 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 4: are servants of the Most High God. There was a 370 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 4: temple here built by an Israeli king years earlier, and 371 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 4: he issued a decree to have it rebuilt. The king 372 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 4: had his men searched the royal archives and they found 373 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 4: the decree. He called the opposition in and said, do 374 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 4: not hinder these people. Let them rebuild the temple. Not 375 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 4: only that, I decree that you are to help them. 376 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 4: You are to use my funds to pay the full 377 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 4: construction costs, and you are to take them food and supplies. 378 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 4: Every day. They meant it for harm, God turned it 379 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 4: for good. You may have people and circumstances coming against you. 380 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 4: God God knows how to cause it to backfire. They 381 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 4: were trying to stop him. They ended up having to 382 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 4: help him. Without their opposition, he wouldn't have had the 383 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 4: temple totally paid for. Not only that, they had to 384 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 4: bring them food every day. God said, He'll prepare a 385 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 4: table before you in the presence of your enemies. Sometimes 386 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 4: He'll even have your enemies serve you dinner. I can 387 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 4: hear's the Rubi bel saying, can I get some ketchup 388 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 4: with my French fries. God knows how to vindicate you. 389 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 4: Those people that are trying to hold you down. Stir 390 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 4: up trouble, stay in peace. It's going to backfire. The 391 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 4: Psalmist said. The trap the enemy set for you, they 392 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 4: will fall in themselves. God is working in ways that 393 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 4: you cannot see. It may look like opposition, the truth 394 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 4: is it's the hand of God setting you up for promotion. 395 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 4: We see this with Joseph. He was betrayed by his family, 396 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 4: falsely accused, put in prison, didn't look like he had favor. 397 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 4: But all of that opposition, the bad breaks, the unfair situations, 398 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 4: that was God directing his steps. One day he saw 399 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 4: what had been happening behind the scenes, how the people 400 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 4: that had tried to stop him, how all that opposition 401 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 4: had moved him into his destiny. It was all divinely orchestrated. 402 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 4: When you face things that you don't understand, difficult challenges. 403 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 4: That doesn't mean that somehow you've stepped out of favor. 404 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 4: God's forgotten about you. It's a setup. It's all a 405 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 4: part of God's plan to take you to the next level. 406 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 4: Some of the things that are frustrating you, the people 407 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 4: coming against you, the closed doors, the disappointments. You may 408 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 4: not like it, but without it you couldn't reach the 409 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 4: fullness of your destiny. Jobe would have never received double 410 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 4: if God had not allowed him to be tested, go 411 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 4: through it, versity and unfair situations. But he said in 412 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 4: Job chapter ten, I know God has granted me favor. 413 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 4: What's interesting is he didn't see things restored until chapter 414 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 4: forty two, right in the middle of the difficulty, when 415 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 4: it looked like everything had gone wrong. Instead of complaining, 416 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 4: he was saying, Father, thank you that I have your favor. 417 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 4: He understood this principle that he had favor in the difficulty, 418 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 4: favor when it didn't look like it. Sometimes favor is hidden. 419 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 4: You can't see it in the storm, in the betrayal, 420 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 4: in the loss. People could look at you and think 421 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 4: you don't have favor. You're struggling, you're still dealing with 422 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 4: that illness. Those people at work are holding you back. 423 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 4: It may look like you're stuck, but you can't see 424 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 4: what's happening behind the scenes. Means you don't know what 425 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 4: God is up to. Nine months later, Job not only 426 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 4: came out, but he came out with twice what he 427 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 4: had before. What looks like it's going to keep you 428 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 4: from your destiny instead is going to launch you into 429 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 4: a new level of your destiny. Those obstacles are not 430 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 4: going to stop you. They're going to promote you. Now, 431 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 4: keep the right perspective. You don't have to live worried 432 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,479 Speaker 4: panic because you're in between walls of water. You have 433 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 4: favor in the storm, favor in the famine. Right now, 434 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 4: God is pushing back forces of darkness. Favor is keeping 435 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 4: your enemies from defeating you. It may have been meant 436 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 4: for your harm, but get ready, I believe and declare, 437 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 4: it's about to backfire. Like Zaruba bel You're about to 438 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 4: see what God's been doing behind the scenes. People that 439 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 4: were against you are suddenly going to be for you. 440 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 4: Problems are about to turn around.
