1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: share it with a friend, reappreciate you, and pray for

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: God's very best in your life. Well, God bless you,

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: and thanks for letting us come into your homes today.

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: And if you're ever in our area, I hope you'll

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: stop by and be a part of one of our services.

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: These are the finest people in all of Houston, Texas,

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: right here at Lakewood. But come on out whenever you can.

11
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: Thanks for tuning in. I like to start with something funny,

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: and I heard about this Baptist man named Bill. He

13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: liked to sneak out to the horse races and bet.

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: One day, after losing almost all of his money, he

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: saw a Catholic priest step out onto the tracks and

16
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: bless a horse. Sure enough, that horse one first place.

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: The next race, he blessed another horse. That horse won again.

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: Seeing this, Bill went down to the ATM machine took

19
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: out all of his money. This time he saw the

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: priest not just touch the horse's forehead, but his eyes, eyes,

21
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: his ears, and all of his legs, and feeling confident,

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: he bent all of his money. But on the middle

23
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: of that race, the horse fell down dead. He couldn't

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: believe it. He said to the priest, what in the

25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: world happened? He said, that's the problem with you Protestants.

26
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: You don't know the difference between a blessing and the last.

27
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: Rites say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

28
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what

29
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says

30
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

31
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my

32
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

33
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

34
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: about your set time for favor. In the Old Testament,

35
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: the Israelites had several different feasts that they had to

36
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: observe each year. These feasts, like Passover and the feast

37
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: of Pentecost, were at set times based on the cycle

38
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: of the moon and certain other criteria. The times had

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: been ordained by God and couldn't be changed. These were

40
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: special times that God had set aside to bless his people.

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: He'd already established when to show them favor. Just like

42
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: with them, there are set times God has already ordained

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: to show out in your life. We can all look

44
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: back and see these times where we got a break

45
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: that we didn't deserve. Things fell into place. Maybe your

46
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: career took off after years of being routine average, you

47
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: came into a season of growth, a season of increase,

48
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: a season of blessing. What was that a set time

49
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: of favor? I talked to a man recently. For eight

50
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: years he's had back pain. He heard it playing football

51
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: in college. He'd had surgery, gone through treatment, rehab, taken

52
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: pain pills, nothing seemed to help. He'd already decided he'd

53
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: have to live with that pain the rest of his life.

54
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: But about six months ago, out of the blue, things

55
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: started getting better and better. He said, Joel, I don't

56
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: know what happened. The doctors can't explain it. But today

57
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm totally free from this pain. Like the Israelites, he

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: came in to one of his set times. In Psalms,

59
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: it talks about how God's favor surrounds us like a shield.

60
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: It doesn't come and go. Favor is always with us,

61
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: but there are set times where God's favor will show out.

62
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: Set times where God will thrust you from the background

63
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: to the foreground. Set times where God will accelerate your dreams,

64
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: make things happen faster than you thought. Set times like

65
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: my friend, when you'll get well even though the report

66
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: says it's not going to happen. When a problem will

67
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: unexpectedly turn around even though it looked impossible. You need

68
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: to get ready. I believe you've come in to one

69
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: of your at times of favor. Maybe you've been struggling.

70
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: Everything's been uphill. You're going to see an anointing of ease.

71
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: God is going before you. He's going to cause things

72
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: to fall into place. At work, you've been doing your best,

73
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: working hard, but not getting the credit you deserve. People

74
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: playing politics. Don't worry. In this set time, God is

75
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: going to promote you. He's going to push you up.

76
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: He's going to set you on high. Or perhaps you've

77
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: been through some relationships that didn't work out and now

78
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: you think you'll always be lonely. No, in this set time,

79
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: God is bringing a divine connection somebody better than you

80
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: have imagined. They're already ordained to come across your path,

81
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: and you may not see how this is going to happen.

82
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: Your mind will tell you you'll never get well, never meet

83
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: the right person, never accomplish that dream. Don't believe those lies.

84
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: The creator of the universe has already established your set times.

85
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Hour is greater than any force that's trying to come

86
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: against you. Now do your part. Get in agreement with God. Lord,

87
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: I believe this is my set time for favor. The

88
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: medical report may not look good, but I believe it's

89
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: my set time to get well. My dream looks like

90
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: it's going to take years, but Lord, I want to

91
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: thank you that it's my set time for acceleration. Now,

92
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: you may have tried things in the past, but it

93
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: didn't work out. The business wasn't successful, the loan didn't

94
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: go through, the diet didn't work. Now you're thinking I

95
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: just threw that one in. You need to try it again.

96
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: This is a new season. A man in the lobby

97
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: told me the other day how he had a dream

98
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: to start his own business and he got it going.

99
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: Everything was fine. He was so excited, but he hit

100
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: a series of setbacks. Unfortunately it didn't make it. He

101
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: thought he was done, that it would never happen. No,

102
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: it just wasn't the right time. Don't give up on

103
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: what God promised you. Don't let that dream die still born.

104
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: It may not have happened in the past, but you've

105
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: come in to a set time. God has favor waiting

106
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: for you, ideas waiting for you, the right people waiting

107
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: for you. Try it again. The scripture says a good

108
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: man falls seven times, but the Lord raises him back up.

109
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: The loan didn't go through. You didn't qualify for that

110
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: new house. Try again. You're in a set time of favor.

111
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: You tried to lose the weight, tried to get back

112
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: in shape. It didn't work out. Try it again. God

113
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: is breathing in your life in a new way. He's

114
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: giving you ability, determination, strength to do what you couldn't

115
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: do before. Now, all through the day, especially in the

116
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: tough times. Lord, I want to thank you that it's

117
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: my set time for favor. Thank you that you're helping

118
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: me do what I could not do on my own.

119
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: Salm one O two. This man that was having an

120
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: incredible difficult time begin to pray. He went into great

121
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: detail to list all of his troubles. He said, God,

122
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm sick. I'm down to skin and bones. I can't

123
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: sleep at night. I've lost all of my income. I'm lonely.

124
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: My friends have left me. My enemies all day long

125
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: taunt me. Now I'm just sitting among the ashes. For

126
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: eleven verses, he goes on and on, telling how miserable

127
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: his life is, how he feels overwhelmed by his trouble.

128
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: Just reading it can make it feel depressed. Just when

129
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: you think he's about to give up, just ready to

130
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: throw in the towel, he said in verse twelve. But you,

131
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: o Lord, are still on the throne. For you will

132
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: arise and have mercy on Zion for the time to

133
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: favor her. Yes, the set time has come. Zion is

134
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: the church. You can put your name in place of Zion,

135
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: for you will arise and have mercy on Linda for

136
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,119
Speaker 1: the time to favor her. Yes, the set time has come.

137
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: You will arise and have mercy on those people at

138
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: Lakewood for the time to favor them. Yes, the set

139
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: time has come. In the midst of his sad song,

140
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,119
Speaker 1: in the midst of listing all of his difficulties, deep down,

141
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: he knew there was a set time of favor in

142
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: his future. At that point, the Israelites had been through

143
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: seventy years of hardships, all kind of struggling. God said,

144
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: don't worry. Things are about to change. You've come in

145
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: to your set time of favor. The scripture says, God

146
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: will arise and have mercy. In this set time, God

147
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: will step in against your enemies. You won't have to

148
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: fight those battles. The most High will arise, and when

149
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: he arises, enemies will be scattered. When he arises, sicknesses

150
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: will be defeated, addictions will be broken, lacks, struggle, poverty

151
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: will come to an end. He's going before you, clearing

152
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: the path, pushing back the forces of darkness, making a

153
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: way where you could not go before it. In this

154
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: set time, the enemies you've seen in the past you

155
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: will see no more. The addictions, bad habits, things you

156
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: haven't been able to overcome. This is a new day.

157
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: God is arising. It's your set time for freedom, set

158
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: time for wholeness. Those obstacles in your career can't seem

159
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: to get the break, you knee, can't get over the hump.

160
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: Things are about to change. God is fighting your battles,

161
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,359
Speaker 1: causing you to stand out, bringing you from obscurity to notoriety.

162
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: This is a set time for God to thrust you

163
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: where you could not go on your own. I'm challenging you.

164
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: Don't talk yourself out of it. You may feel like

165
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: you're in verse one through eleven right now, like that man.

166
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: You can come up with good reasons why you won't

167
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: get well, why you won't be successful. Joel, I've got

168
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: a lot of powerful people coming against me. I have

169
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: this medical condition that looks permanent, or I don't have

170
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: the experience, the resources, the connections to really be successful.

171
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: That may all be true, but don't stop in verse eleven.

172
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: Come on down to twelve and thirteen. Dare to say,

173
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: But you, o, Lord, are still on the throne. You

174
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: have set this time to favor me. What God lifts up,

175
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: no person can push down what God breathes life into.

176
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: Sickness cannot take away what God blesses. All the forces

177
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: of darkness cannot curse. Our attitude should be yes. This

178
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: obstacle looks big, this sickness, this legal situation. But I

179
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: know a secret. God is still on the throne and

180
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: He has set this time for me to overcome. This

181
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: is my set time to break through. This is my

182
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: set time to live in victory. It says, God will arise.

183
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: Let me tell you when God gets up the enemy

184
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: trembles in your set time. God is not going to

185
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: sit idly by. And yes, we all have seasons of

186
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: testing and trials where we have to stand strong prove

187
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: to God that will be faithful. But in this set

188
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: time of favor, that's when God gets up and says, okay,

189
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: that's enough, let me go to work. He'll put a

190
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: stop to what's trying to stop you. He said, the

191
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: trap the enemy set for you, they will fall in themselves.

192
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: He said, no weapon formed against you will ever prosper.

193
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: Don't be intimidated. You're not weak, you're not lacking the

194
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: most high. God has risen in your behalf. He's got

195
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: your back, he's got your covered. He's saying, it's your

196
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: set time for favor, your set time healing, your set

197
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: time for acceleration. Now you have to let this seed

198
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: take root. On the inside. It's easy to think, well,

199
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: that's a good message today, I enjoyed that, and two

200
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: hours later you don't really remember it. It's not gonna

201
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: be effective like that all through the week. You need

202
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: to have this expectancy Lord, thank you that it's my

203
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: set time for favor. That you're giving me power to

204
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: do what I could not do before. Lord, thank you

205
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: that you're causing me to stand out, drawing the right

206
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: people to me. That your blessing's favor is overtaken me. Well, Joel,

207
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: I believe maybe one day that'll happen for me. Now,

208
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm asking you to come over into the now. Today

209
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: is your set time for favor, not in three months,

210
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: not six years from now. God said that time to

211
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: favor you has come. The amplified version says, the moment

212
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: designated is here. There are moments God has already designated

213
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: to show out in your life. I believe this is

214
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: one of your moments. You're living in a favor season,

215
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: a growing season, an acceleration season. You're going to have

216
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: a new confidence to do things that you couldn't do before.

217
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: You're going to see your gifts and talents come out

218
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: in a greater way. God is going to give you

219
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: more influence, more notoriety, a bigger platform. His face is

220
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: going to shine down on you and cause you to

221
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: stand out. Family members that have been off course seems

222
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: like they'll always make poor choices, though those forces are

223
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: being broken. Things are about to change. They're going to

224
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: start making good choices that honor God. People are going

225
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: to think, how in the world did they turn around

226
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: so quickly. Here's how you came into a set time

227
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: of favor, a moment already designated by the creator of

228
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: the universe. Think about a set time. Sometimes at night,

229
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: you'll set your alarm for the morning. You program your clock.

230
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: You say I want to get up at six point thirty,

231
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: and you set the hour, set the minute. That's the

232
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: set time. Or maybe you're cooking something that takes an

233
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: hour and a half. You set the timer on the

234
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: oven for ninety minutes. You're waiting and waiting, but when

235
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: the alarm goes off, you don't keep waiting. The set

236
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: time has come. You change your position, You change your posture.

237
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: You take the food out. It's done. You wake up.

238
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: The morning has arrived. I believe God is saying to us,

239
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: the alarm is going off, the set time has come.

240
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: Change your position, change your attitude from I don't think

241
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: it's ever going to happen. To Lord, thank you that

242
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: it's here. Think you that my set time for fever

243
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: has arrived. Start expecting God's goodness. See life can get

244
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: so routine that we're not really releasing our faith. We've

245
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: been lulled into thinking, Uh, it's never going to happen

246
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: for me. It's been so long, I'll never get well,

247
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: I'll never meet the person. No, every morning when you

248
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: wake up, just imagine the alarm is going off. God

249
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: is saying it's the set time our attitude should be.

250
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: This is my day for favor, This is my day

251
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: for increase, this is my day for divine connections. Not

252
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: maybe one day it's going to happen. No, I know

253
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: today is my day by faith. I can hear the

254
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: alarm going off. It's favor time. It's healing time, it's

255
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: acceleration time, it's blessing time. Some of you know what

256
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: Miller time is. I'm talking about breakthrough time, victory time,

257
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: abundance time. I've seen this set time of favor in

258
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: my own life. That's why it's easy for me to

259
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: encourage you. I shouldn't be where I am. I didn't

260
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: train to do this. I wasn't planning on being a minister.

261
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: Never thought I could get up in front of people.

262
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: When my father went to be with the Lord, and

263
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: I did step up to pastor the church. I never

264
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: dreamed it would grow. We thought if we could maintain

265
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: what my parents had built it, that would be a win.

266
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: This is the sovereignty of God. I came into a

267
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: set time of favor that the creator of the universe

268
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: had ordained for me before I was formed in my

269
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: mother's wombs. God had already set aside that's the time

270
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to show out in Joel's life. I couldn't

271
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: have made it happen. I couldn't have orchestrated this facility,

272
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: the influence, the growth in my own strength. It was

273
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: the hand of God taken me where I could not

274
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: go on my own. God set the time for us

275
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: to have this building. He set the time for me

276
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: to meet Victoria, set the time for my mother to

277
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: be healed from terminal cancer. In the same way, God

278
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: has already designated these moments of favor for you. He's

279
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: already set the times. You're living in one of those

280
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: right now. A set time of acceleration, a set time

281
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: of greater influence, a set time where God wants to

282
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: show out in your life. But if this is going

283
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: to happen down in your spirit, you have to hear

284
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: the alarm going off through your eyes of faith. You

285
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: have to see God arising, fighting your battles, moving obstacles

286
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: out of your path, preparing the way for you to

287
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: step in to a new level of your destiny. I

288
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: talked to a young lady that moved here from another state.

289
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: She tried to get her business started in the Northeast,

290
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: but things didn't work out, and she felt like she

291
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: is supposed to take a step of faith and move

292
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: down here. For thirteen hours driving to Texas, she listened

293
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: to my messages on serious XM. Said she never turned

294
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: it off thirteen hours. I get tired of hearing myself.

295
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: She heard that message. I spoke at the first of

296
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: the year about how God can accelerate your dreams and

297
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: he can make things happen faster than you thought. Something

298
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: came alive on the inside. She thought, Yes, that's for me.

299
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: She started her new position. She works in cells and

300
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: realistically she knew it would take a while to build

301
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: up her clientele and really get things going. But she said,

302
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: this first month here, she sold more than she sold

303
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: in the whole year back at home. She was so excited.

304
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: She said, Joel, there's still six days left in this month,

305
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sell even more. What happened. She came in

306
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: to her set time of favor, her set time of acceleration.

307
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 1: But I wonder what would have happened if she'd have thought, Ah,

308
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna see favor, I'm never gonna see acceleration.

309
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna be rough getting started in a new city.

310
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: That would have limited her destiny. God works where there's faith.

311
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: You may not see how it can happen in the natural.

312
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: That's okay. He's a supernatural God. You don't have to

313
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: figure it all out. All you have to do is believe,

314
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 1: take the limits off of God. Dare to do like

315
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: she did and say, God, just like you promised in

316
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: Psalm one two, that it was the set time to

317
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: favor Zion God. I know I am Zion, I am

318
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: the Church, so I believe it's my set time for favor,

319
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: set time for acceleration, set time to go to a

320
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: new level. A mother called the other day and told

321
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: how she has an adult child that's physically challenged, and

322
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: this child recently had a stroke and needed constant caring.

323
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: This mother is a widow and couldn't afford to quit

324
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: her job and there was a well respected facility not

325
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: far from where she lived that took care of disabled people,

326
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: but when she inquired, she was told that there was

327
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: a ten year waiting list to get in. She didn't

328
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: know what she was going to do. This mother wasn't

329
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: raised in church, she didn't have any kind of spiritual background,

330
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: but through watching us on television, she had come to

331
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,239
Speaker 1: know the Lord. She heard me talking about acceleration in

332
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: her own simple way with a childlike fai. She said, God,

333
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: they said, it's going to take ten years to get

334
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: my child in, But Lord, I believe that you can

335
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: make it happen sooner. Three weeks later, the facility called

336
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: back and said, we've had an opening come up unexpectedly.

337
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: We'd love to have your child. What could have taken

338
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: ten years? God did in a fraction of the time,

339
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: a set time of favor, a moment God had already designated.

340
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: The common denominator with both of these ladies is they

341
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: released their faith. They had an expectancy. If she'd have thought, all, great,

342
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: ten years, just my luck, what am I going to do?

343
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: Maybe the door wouldn't have opened, Maybe the set time

344
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: would have been delayed. Instead of being negative talking themselves

345
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: out of it. These two ladies acted like the alarm

346
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: was going off. They changed their position, changed their attitude.

347
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: They even dared to ask God for what seemed impossible.

348
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: And when that alarm is sounding, when it's your time,

349
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: that's a window of opportunity. It's not going to last forever.

350
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: Don't let the negative voices convince you that you're never

351
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: going to get well, never get out of death, never

352
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: get your child, and too many people in front of

353
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: you in this set time. God knows how to take

354
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: it from the back to the front. He can open

355
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: doors that no man can shut. He'll take you where

356
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: you could not go on your own. My father had

357
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: a sister named Maryan. For years, she struggled with the

358
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: condition that caused her to have violent convulsions and terrible headaches.

359
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: It was so bad that it was crippling her life,

360
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: and at one point she started having these hallucinations and

361
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: her mind became unclear. She'd been in the hospital for

362
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: a long time and they finally sent her home. She

363
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: couldn't recognize people, she couldn't feed herself. She had to

364
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: have twenty four hour care. My father lived in a

365
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: different city and he traveled a lot and didn't realize

366
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 1: how sick Mary was. One day, his mother called and

367
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: told him about Mary's condition. He was scheduled to go

368
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: out of town the next morning, but while he was praying,

369
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: he heard God say to him, not out loud, but

370
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: this distinct phrase, right down in here, the hour of

371
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: Mary's deliverance has come. He heard what God said in

372
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: Saw one o two, The set time for Mary's healing

373
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: is here. Instead of taking his plan trip that morning,

374
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: he drove from Houston to Dallas, where Mary lived, and

375
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: when he went in her room, it was dark. The

376
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: shades were pulled, very depressing. Mary didn't recognize him. Her

377
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: hair was matted, her eyes glazed over. Something rose up

378
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: in my father, not just a boldness, but a holy anger,

379
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: like the scripture says, in this set time, God won't

380
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: sit idly by. He'll rise up against your enemies. My

381
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: father could feel that power rising up threw him. He

382
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: went over to Mary's bed, and after he prayed for her,

383
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: he said forcefully, Mary, I want you to get up

384
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: out of this bed. All of the sudden, Mary sat

385
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: straight up. She had not walked in months, but that

386
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: moment she got out of the bed and was able

387
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: to walk through the house. Her mind cleared up. She

388
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: was able to talk to my father. That day, she

389
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: went to the table and fed herself. She no longer

390
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: needed her medicine, no longer needed the twenty four hour care,

391
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: totally healed, a moment of favor. My father asked her later, Mary,

392
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: why did you get out of bed so suddenly. She said,

393
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: because I heard God tell me to get out. He

394
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: got a laugh, said no, Mary, it was me. I

395
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: said it. She said, no, John, I heard the voice

396
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: of God telling me to get out of bed, he said, Mary.

397
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: I was standing right there. I'm telling you I'm the

398
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: one that said it. She said, listen here, John, I

399
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: know what I and I heard the creator of the universe,

400
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: the most high God, telling me to get out of bed.

401
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: And when I heard that, every chain was broken off

402
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: of me. Every fiber of my being came back to life. Friends,

403
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: when it's your set time, all the forces of darkness

404
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: cannot hold you back. Our God is more powerful than

405
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: any sickness, any addiction, any depression, any person, any hater.

406
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: Every chain will be broken, every stronghold will come down,

407
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: every limitation will be loosed. The creator of the universe

408
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: will make you come alive. He'll push you into your destiny.

409
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: I believe right now God is rising up against your enemies,

410
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: rising up against that sickness, that legal problem, that spirit

411
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: of lack and struggle. Those forces are being broken. Your

412
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: destiny is being released. Psalm one O two goes on

413
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: to say, in this set time of favor, people all

414
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: around you are going to notice what God has done.

415
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: He's going to show out in your life in such

416
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: a way that you will be an example of His goodness.

417
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: So blessed, so healthy, so strong, so generous, so talented.

418
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: People all around you will see the hand of God

419
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: is upon your life. But sometimes when we've been waiting

420
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: a long time, waiting for the miracle, waiting for the healing,

421
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: waiting for a dream to come to pass, it's easy

422
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: to get into a weight mode where we're not expecting anything.

423
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: God is saying the weight is over, the alarm is

424
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: going on, victory is here, healing is here, favor is here,

425
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: The moment designated has come.

426
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: Now.

427
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: You may not see it yet, but here's the whole key.

428
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: You have to walk by faith and not by sight

429
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: all through the week. Lord, I thank you that it's

430
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: my set time for favor. Thank you that you're pushing

431
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: back the forces of darkness. Thank you that you're accelerating

432
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: my dreams coming to pass. Well, Joel, I tried this,

433
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: but my business didn't work out. I didn't break the addiction,

434
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: the loan didn't go through. I'm asking you to try

435
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: it again. This is a new day, in this set

436
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: time of favor. God is not going to sit idly

437
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: by this time, He's going to arise and fight your battles.

438
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: This time, he said, he'll get off the throne and

439
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: do what you could not do. He's breathing in your

440
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: direction in a new way. Right now. It's your time

441
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: to possess the land. If you'll do this, I believe

442
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: and declare, God is going to show out in your

443
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,239
Speaker 1: life in a new way. You're going to see new

444
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: levels of influence, notoriety, a bigger platform like my father's sister,

445
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: healing from what looks permanent like those two ladies. You're

446
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: going to accomplish more in a fraction of the time.

447
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: You're going to see acceleration where God thrusts you into

448
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: a new level of your destiny in Jesus's name, And

449
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: if you receive it, can you say it. Men today.

450
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: We never like to close our broadcast without giving you

451
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

452
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: Would you pray with me, Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll

453
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make

454
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: you my lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed that

455
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in

456
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: a good Bible based church. Keep God first place. He's

457
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,560
