We love you, and we're believing that you're 10 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 1: going to have a blessed, prosperous year, that you're going 11 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: to see God's. 12 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: Goodness in new ways. 13 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: If you're ever in our area, I hope you'll stop by. 14 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:32,959 Speaker 2: And see us. 15 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: I promise you will make you feel right at home. 16 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: But thank you for tuning in. Thanks again for coming 17 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: out today. I like to start with something funny each week, 18 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: and I heard about this lady. She was on an 19 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: airplane reading her Bible, and the man sitting next to 20 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: her said, you don't believe all that stuff in there? 21 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: Do you? 22 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 2: She said, of course I do. It's the Bible. 23 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: He said, well, what about that God that got swallowed 24 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: by a well? She said, you mean Jonah. Yes, I 25 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: believe that too. He said, well, how could he possibly 26 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: live all that time inside of a well. She thought 27 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: about it a moment, said, I don't know. When I 28 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: get to heaven, I'll have to ask him. 29 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 2: He kind of. 30 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: Said sarcastically, Well, what if he's not in heaven. She 31 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: smiled and said, then you're gonna have to ask him. 32 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: All right, hold up your Bible. Say it like you 33 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 34 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: says I am. I have what it says I have. 35 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: I can do what it says I can do. Today 36 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 37 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 38 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 39 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about the outstretched 40 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: hand of God. As believers, you and I have an advantage. 41 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: We don't have to go through life just depending on 42 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: our own talent, our own ability, our own strength. The 43 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: scripture talks about how God's hand is outstretched toward us. 44 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: That means there is a supernatural power behind every believer. 45 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: God's outstretched hand will help you accomplish dreams that you 46 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: thought were impossible. His outstretched hand will cause you to 47 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: get well, even when the medical report says there's no way. 48 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: The outstretched hand of God will help us to prosper, 49 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: even when the economy is down. Now, all through the day, 50 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: you need to imagine, not that God is mad at me. 51 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: I've made so many mistakes. I'll probably never get out 52 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: of this problem. 53 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 2: No, get a new perspective. 54 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,839 Speaker 1: Imagine God's hand is outstretched towards you. 55 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: It is a. 56 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: Hand of healing, a hand of favor, a hand of restoration. 57 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: You may have some obstacles in your path. Maybe you're 58 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: facing a sickness, an addiction. Perhaps another person is trying 59 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: to hold you back. Do you have to realize there 60 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: is a force that is for you, that is great 61 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: than any force that will ever be against you. Your 62 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: attitude should be I am not settling where I am. 63 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: I know I have an advantage as a child of 64 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: the Most High. I know God's hand is outstretched towards me. 65 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: You're saying, I know favor is on its way. 66 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: I know healing is coming. 67 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: I know God is fighting my battles for me. When 68 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: we release our faith like that, the creator of the 69 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: universe breathes in our direction. The scripture says here in 70 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: Isaiah fourteen twenty seven, the Lord of Host has purposed, 71 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: and who can annul it? 72 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: I love that. 73 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: It's saying God has a purpose for your life. He 74 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: has already planned out your days for victory. He's got 75 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: a comeback already lined up for every setback. He's got 76 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: a solution for every problem. The right people, the right breaks, 77 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: the right opportunities, all your days have been written in 78 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: God's book. Notice it says who can annul it? God 79 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: is saying who can. 80 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: Stop my plan? 81 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: Sickness can't stop it, The economy can't stop it, A 82 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: bad break can't stop it. An accident can't stop it. 83 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: God has preordained you to be victorious. You need to 84 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: get this on the inside. Does it matter what it 85 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: looks like in the natural. No matter how many setbacks 86 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: you've been through or how many obstacles are in your path. 87 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: Right now, the Most High God has destined you to 88 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: live a life of victory. And some of you today 89 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,119 Speaker 1: you need to get a new vision. At one time 90 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: you were excited about your future. You had big goals, 91 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: big dreams, but you went through some disappointments. Life didn't 92 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: turn out like you to hope, and now you've just settled, 93 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: you're not expecting God's favor. But understand, God's plan for 94 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: your life didn't go away just because you had some disappointments, 95 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: just because somebody treated you unfairly. God didn't write us 96 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: off just because we made some poor decisions. God knew 97 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: every mistake we'd ever make. He knew every person that 98 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: would do us wrong. And the good news is none 99 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: of that stopped God's purpose for your life. Nothing can 100 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: annul it. No matter what has happened in your past. 101 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: God still has a bright future in store for every 102 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: one of you. And if you will get your hopes 103 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: back and get your vision in line with God's, then 104 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: the rest of your life is going to be the 105 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: best of your life. It goes on to say, my 106 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: hand is outstretched, and who can stop it? God is saying, 107 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: as long as my hand is outstretched, you are headed 108 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: for victory. As long as I've got my hand stretched out, 109 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: then I have favor that nobody can stop. I have promotion, 110 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: I have increased, I have supernatural breaks that cannot be 111 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: held back. If you will get in agreement with God 112 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: and get up each day knowing that his hand is 113 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: outstretched towards you, then you might as well get ready. 114 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of time before you see explosive blessings, 115 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: blessings that thrust. 116 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: You to a new level. 117 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of time before you get the 118 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 1: break you need, the right person comes across your path. 119 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: Just a matter of time before your health turns around, 120 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: that sickness leaves. 121 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: Your strength is restored. How could this happen? 122 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: God's hand is outstretched towards you, and nothing can stop it. 123 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: In other words, when God gets ready to bless you, 124 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: no obstacle, no sickness, no person, no government, all the 125 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: forces of darkness cannot stop it from happening, we should. 126 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 2: Have the attitude. 127 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: The economy may be down, but I'm not worried about it. 128 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: I know I have an advantage. God's hand is outstretched 129 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: toward me. He is supplying all of my needs. He's 130 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: prospering me, even in a recession. I am blessed in 131 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: the city and blessed in the country. Why the hand 132 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: of God. 133 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: A friend of. 134 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: Mine told about this man. He knows business associate. He 135 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: was living a perfectly healthy life. Everything was going great, 136 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: but one day he started having these unusual headaches. 137 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: And he began to get a little disoriented. 138 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: Finally he had to go to the doctor and they 139 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: checked him in the hospital and ran some test and 140 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: long story short, they discovered that he had a large 141 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: tumor in his brain. And this top neurosurgeon, one of 142 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: the best in the country, said, all we can do 143 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: is operate. 144 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: All we can do is try. 145 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: To remove it. They didn't give him a lot of hope. 146 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: He got that bad news on a Friday. They scheduled 147 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: the operation for first thing Monday morning, and they wanted 148 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: him to stay in the hospital and just relax and 149 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: not take any chances. But this man was very determined 150 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: to go home over the weekend. They tried and tried 151 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: to talk him out of it. He said, no, I've 152 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: got to go home because I watch a young minister 153 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: on television and I need to make sure I watch 154 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: him this week. They said, when we have televisions here. 155 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: That wasn't good enough. He wanted to watch in his 156 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: own home. Well, that week, on the program I'm made 157 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: the statement it doesn't matter what the medical report says. 158 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: God can turn the situation around. When he heard that 159 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,239 Speaker 1: something leaped on the inside. He said I knew at. 160 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: That moment God had touched me. 161 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: He went back on Monday and had the operation, or 162 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: when he woke up, the first thing the surgeon said 163 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: to him was, I want to know whose prayer list 164 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: are you on. He went on to tell how he 165 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: didn't have this massive tumor. It was just a little 166 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: bit of blood. He said, Listen, I've been doing this 167 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: long enough to know the difference between what I see 168 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: on the X rays and what I saw in person. 169 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 2: What is that God's outstretched hand releasing healing, doing what 170 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 2: medical science cannot do. 171 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: You may be facing a sickness today, maybe it's something 172 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: you've had for a long time, but you need to 173 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: imagine right now, God's hand is outstretched towards you, releasing healing, health, wholeness, restoration. 174 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: When you believe, nothing can stop it. If it's not 175 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: your time to go, you're not gonna go. If you 176 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: have not fulfilled your. 177 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 2: Purpose, nothing can annul it. 178 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: You need to start talking to yourself all through the day, 179 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: over and over in your mind. Healing is flowing into me. 180 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: I'm getting stronger, I'm getting healthier. My youth is being renewed, 181 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: my strength is being restored. This sickness didn't come to stay, 182 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: it came to pass. When we release our faith like that, 183 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: it's just like we're reaching up our hand connecting to 184 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: God's hand. 185 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: The good news is there is healing in his hand, there. 186 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: Is restoration, There is supernatural power in God's outstretched hand. 187 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: I think about how when Moses was leading the people 188 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: of Israel, he came to a dead end at the 189 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: Red Sea. They had nowhere to go, looked like it 190 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: was over. We all face situations in life where we come. 191 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 2: To the end of our own ability. 192 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,079 Speaker 1: In the natural, we don't see any way out that 193 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: men with a medical report or maybe a dream has 194 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: died some kind of setback. But if we can just remember, 195 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: God's hand is still outstretched toward us, and God told Moses, 196 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: do what I'm doing. Moses, stretch forth your hand, hold 197 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: out that rod as an act of faith. Moses stretched 198 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: out his hand representing God's outstretched hand, and that's when 199 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: the water's parted and the people went through on dry ground. 200 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: What am I saying? 201 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: When we stretch out our hand, when we release our faith, 202 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: that's when supernatural things are going to happen. I can't 203 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: tell you how many times Victorian I. When we were 204 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: trying to acquire this facility, we would walk around the 205 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: building at night when nobody could see us. In the natural. 206 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: We didn't have a chance. All the odds were against us. 207 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: It was David verse Goliath. But we'd go around with 208 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: our hands outstretched, saying, Father, thank you that you are 209 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: turning things in our favor. Thank you that you are 210 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: fighting our battles for us. Thank you that you're giving 211 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: us the breaks that we need. What happened, our outstretched 212 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: hands connected with God's outstretched hand, and he made a 213 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: way when it looked like there was no way. You 214 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: may be struggling in your finances. You need to stretch 215 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: out your hand toward that business, stretch out your hand 216 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: toward that house you're trying to sell, or maybe just 217 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: stretch out your hand toward your checkbook and say, Father, 218 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: as an act of my faith, I am stretching out 219 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: my hand, believing that I'm connecting with your outstretched hand, 220 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: knowing that right now you're releasing supernatural increase, supernatural promotion. 221 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: You need to go around talking to yourself, Father, thank 222 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: you that your blessings are chasing me down and overtaking me. 223 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: Thank you, that whatever I touch prospers and succeed. I know, God, 224 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: You're causing me to be at the right place at 225 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: the right time. 226 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 2: When you do that, that allows God to release what's 227 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 2: in his hand. 228 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: Maybe you have a child that's not doing right. Just 229 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: stretch out your hand toward his room. Or maybe he 230 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 1: lives in another city, Well stretch out your hand toward 231 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: his home. God you said, as for me and my house, 232 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: we will serve the Lord. And as an act of faith, 233 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: with my hand outstretched, I believe right now you are 234 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: breaking every negative influence, breaking every addiction, breaking every wrong habit, 235 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: and you're releasing your favor, your increase, your promotion, your restoration. 236 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes you just need to look in the mirror and 237 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: stretch out your. 238 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 2: Hand toward yourself. 239 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: Just say, Father, as an act of faith, I'm stretching 240 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: out my hand declaring that I am blessed, I am prosperous, 241 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: I am anointed, I am appointed, I am approved, I 242 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: am forgiven, I am redeemed. 243 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: I am well able. When we release our faith like that, 244 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: we can just. 245 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: Imagine God's outstretched hands is releasing favor, healing, restoration, whatever 246 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: we need. This is especially important when we're tempted to 247 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: get discouraged when things aren't going your way, and those 248 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: never lies come telling you that you're never gonna get well, 249 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: never accomplish your dreams. Don't drag around with your head down. Now, 250 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: that's when, more than ever, you need to look up 251 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: and through your eyes of faith, see God's outstretched hand. 252 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 2: If you get a negative medical report, don't dwell on it. 253 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: Look up and see that healing flowing into you. 254 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 2: If you face a red sea. 255 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: An impossible situation, don't sink into self pity. Oh I'll 256 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: never get out of this. No, look up and get 257 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: a vision of God turning it around. Whatever you need, 258 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: it's in God's hand, and the good news is his 259 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: hand is outstretched towards you. This is what the mother 260 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: of Moses did. She was facing an impossible situation when 261 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: Moses was born. The king ordered that all the male 262 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: babies be killed. She could have easily thought, oh, just 263 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: my luck, wouldn't you know it? I have a baby 264 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: and look what happens. No, she understood this principle. She 265 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: knew God's hand was outstretched toward her, and if she 266 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: would release her faith and connect with his hand, supernatural 267 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: things would happen. She hid Moses as long as she could, 268 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: but when he got too big, she put him in 269 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: that basket and sent him down the Nile River. And 270 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: it just so happened that Faro's daughter went down to 271 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: the river to take a bath. God caused her to 272 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: be at the right place at the right time. That's 273 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: what happens when we believe God releases favor. She heard 274 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: the little baby crying in the basket, and she opened 275 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: it up. She thought, Wow, what a beautiful little child. 276 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take him as my own. She said to 277 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: her assistant, we need to find somebody that can nurse 278 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: this baby. The assistant said, I know just who to find. 279 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: She went and got Moses's mother, and would you believe it, 280 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: moses mother was able to not only raise her own child, 281 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: but on top of that, she got paid for doing it. 282 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: Only God could orchestrate that. That was his outstretched hand 283 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: releasing protection favor increase. Psalm one eighteen says there are 284 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: shouts of joy and victory in the home of the Godly. 285 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: The strong arm of the Lord has done amazing things. 286 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: I believe God is saying that to each one of 287 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: us in the coming days. You're gonna see the strong 288 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: arm of the Lord do amazing things. That means God 289 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: is gonna turn around situations that you thought were impossible. 290 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: God is gonna help you break addictions that have held 291 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: you back for years. God is going to bring people 292 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: across your path supernatural opportunities that will thrust you to 293 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: the next level. You're gonna discover talent on the inside 294 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: that you didn't even know you had. There are gonna 295 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: be shouts of joy and victory in your home. Why 296 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: because of the outstretched arm of the Lord. Let that 297 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: seed take root today. Remember a few years ago I 298 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: was doing a book signing in another state. There were 299 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: a few hundred people in the line, and this lady 300 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: at one point came up. Looked to be in her 301 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: mid fifties. There was a young lady next to her, 302 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: maybe in her thirties, and they were both crying and crying, 303 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: and of course I didn't know what was going on. 304 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: The lady began to explain how this was her daughter. 305 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: They had been estranged for twelve years. They had gotten 306 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: at odds with each other. They wanted to make things right, 307 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: but there was just too much water under the bridge. 308 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: They had not spoken to one another in over twelve years. 309 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: But what they didn't realize was they both had been 310 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: watching our program on television and independently they decided to 311 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: come to the book signing that night. When they saw 312 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: each other, it was like God melted away all the unforgiveness. 313 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: A healing began to. 314 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: Take place, that relationship began to be restored. The mother said, 315 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: with big tears coming down her cheeks, this is the happiest. 316 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 2: Day of my life. 317 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: God has brought my daughter back to me. What was 318 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: she saying? 319 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 2: The strong arm of the Lord has done amazing things. 320 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: Now there are shouts of joy and victory in her home. 321 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: That's what God is going to do for each one 322 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: of us, says in Psalm one thirty eight. Though I 323 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: am surrounded by trouble, you will bring me safely through. 324 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 2: Your fist is clensed against my enemies. Think about this. 325 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: God's hand is open and outstretched towards you, but his 326 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: fist is clensed against your enemies. That's not just talking 327 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: about people. Sickness is an enemy. Depression is an enemy, 328 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: Poverty is an enemy. You may be struggling with an illness, 329 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 1: but you need to imagine right now, God's fist is 330 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: clensed against that cancer, is clensed against that heart disease, 331 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: but his hand of healing is open towards you. God's 332 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: fist is cleansed against that depression, it's clensed against that poverty. 333 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: But his hand of abundance, his hand of joy, his hand. 334 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 2: Of peace is open towards you. 335 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: Or maybe somebody is treating you unfairly, doing you wrong. 336 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: Stay on the high road. Be the bigger person. 337 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: You don't have to get even God's fist is cleansed 338 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: against them, but his hand of favor is opened towards you. 339 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: I had this lady tell how her supervisor at the 340 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: office was so insecure that she was jealous and just 341 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: intimidated by her. 342 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 2: She wouldn't give her any credit. 343 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: She was always trying to put her down, make her 344 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: look bad doing something that annoyed her. This went on 345 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: month after month. I told the lady what I'm telling you. 346 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: You got to stay on the high road and let 347 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: God fight your battles for you. This supervisor was a 348 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 1: relatively young lady. She was in a good position, a 349 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: fortune five hundred company. It looked like this lady would 350 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: be under her forever. But one day the CEO of 351 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: the company, the man that ran the whole business, came 352 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: to this lady that I was talking to, and he said, 353 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: we've been watching you and we are very impressed. 354 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 2: We want to offer. 355 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: You one of our positions as a senior vice president. 356 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: That was like five positions over her old supervisor. 357 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 2: Friends, God knows how to get you to where you're 358 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 2: supposed to be. 359 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: Nothing can stop it. If somebody is trying to hold 360 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: you back, don't worry about it. God can go over 361 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: their head. If they're trying to make you look bad. 362 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: Just keep doing your best. God is keeping the records. 363 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: He's the one that brings promotion. He can either go 364 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: over their head, he can move them out of the way, 365 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: or he can even change their heart and cause them 366 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: to be good to you. That's what happened to this 367 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: one man. He was trying to get his family over 368 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: to the States. He's an American citizen, but his wife 369 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: is not, and he was working on the visas and 370 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: the proper paperwork. 371 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: He told how he went to the government office, but 372 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 2: this man there was very rude. 373 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: To him, not helpful at all, just made it very confusing, 374 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: very difficult. After a few weeks he got his paperwork done, 375 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 1: got it all know to rise. He went back and 376 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: that man was just as rude to him, and some 377 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: other authorities had already told him it should take about 378 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: six months for the paperwork to go through, but this 379 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: man said, no, no, no, we're all backed up. 380 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 2: It'll be at least five years. 381 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 1: We're not going to get to your paperwork for a 382 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: long time. 383 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 2: This man was just disheartened, so discouraged. 384 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: He's tempted to get a little bit upset, but he 385 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: just kept his cool. He understood this principle that God's fist. 386 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 2: Is cleansed against our enemies. He blessed him and moved on. Well. 387 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: About three weeks later, he got a call back from 388 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: that same man said, come on in, your paperwork has 389 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: all gone through. 390 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 2: He was so excited. It was a miracle. 391 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: He went back and said to the man, I thought 392 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: you said it was going to take five years. 393 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 2: To go through. 394 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: The man said, well, it should have, But ever since 395 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: I met you, I can't get you off my mind. 396 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: I go to bed thinking about you, I get up 397 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: thinking about you. 398 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 2: I eat lunch thinking about you. He said, I am 399 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 2: so tired of seeing you. 400 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: You are making me miserable, Take your paperwork and leave. 401 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 2: What is that? 402 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: That's God's fist cleansed against our enemies. You don't have 403 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: to fight your battles. God knows how to apply pressure 404 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: to people. He knows how to make someone uncomfortable. You 405 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: just stay in peace. When somebody's doing you wrong, you 406 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: can think to yourself, boy, you are messing with the 407 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: wrong person. God has his hand outstretched toward me, but 408 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: his fist is cleansed towards you. 409 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: It says in Exodus. 410 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: Six, I will bring you out from your burdens. I 411 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: will free you from your bondage. I will rescue you 412 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: with my outstretched arm and by my mighty acts of power, 413 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: no matter how how somebody is treating you, no matter 414 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: what's going on in your life. If you'll stay in faith, 415 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: then you're going to see God's mighty acts of power. 416 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 2: What is that? 417 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: Explosive blessings, supernatural turnaround, supernatural breakthroughs, supernatural promotion, supernatural deliverance. 418 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: God is saying, I'm gonna free you from the bondage 419 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: of poverty and lack. I'm gonna free you from the 420 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: burden of depression and discouragement. I'm gonna free you from 421 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: those people that are holding you back. Or how about this, 422 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna free you from every addiction, every bad habit. 423 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: How is this going to happen by God's mighty acts 424 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: of power? Had a young lady tell me last week 425 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: how she was a cocaine addict for fourteen years. She'd 426 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: tried everything she could to stop. She knew it was 427 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: destroying her life, destroying her health, her family. She's about 428 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: to lose a job again, and she wanted to quit, 429 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: but didn't seem to have the power. But she said, Joel, 430 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: one day after I I tried everything on my own, 431 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: I got down on my knees and said, God, please 432 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: help me. 433 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 2: She was not a religious person. 434 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: She didn't come to church, but just like a little child, 435 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: she looked up and called out to. 436 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 2: God and said I need you. 437 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: When she did, all of a sudden, she felt a 438 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: warmness come over her like she had never felt before. 439 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 2: It was a supernatural peace. Now she sat there and 440 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 2: wept and wept. 441 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: It was like a cleansing was taking place, a healing 442 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: on the inside. From that day forward, she had no 443 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: desire for cocaine. 444 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 2: She was totally set free. 445 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: She began to gain her weight back, her skin cleared up, 446 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: her hair got thick. She looked like a different person, 447 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: a beautiful young lady. What was that God's outstretched arm 448 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: breaking every bondage, destroying every yoke. No matter how long 449 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: you may have struggled with some kind of addiction, you 450 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: need to get a new viv today. The Most High 451 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: God has his fist clenched, not against you, but against 452 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 1: that addiction. You don't have to live in bondage. God's 453 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 1: arm is outstretched towards you. It is an arm of deliverance. 454 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: And if you'll dare do like that young lady and 455 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: just call out to God, then when your faith meets 456 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: God's power, supernatural things are going to happen. Isaiah fifty 457 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: nine says, surely the arm of the Lord is not 458 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: too short to save. Isaiah was saying, make sure you 459 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: understand this. Don't have a doubt in your mind. There 460 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 1: is no addiction that God cannot turn around. There is 461 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: no sickness too big, no problem too great. It may 462 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: look impossible to us, but with God all things are possible. 463 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: I remember this gentleman growing up. He was an executive, 464 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: had a very good job, very successful, but alcohol was 465 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: destroying his life. It was tearing his family apart. He 466 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: and his wife got divorced. He got so low, so distraught, 467 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: he contemplated ending his life. One day, he was in 468 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: a closet on the floor and he said, God, I 469 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: can't take it anymore. 470 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 2: Please help me. 471 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: That was the first time he could ever remember acknowledging God. 472 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: But our God is full of mercy. He is a 473 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: present help in our times of trouble, just like that 474 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: young lady. He began to feel this warmness come all 475 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: over him. It was a healing taken place on the inside. 476 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: That moment was a turning point. He never had another 477 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: drop of alcohol. Several years later, he got back together 478 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: with his ex wife. 479 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 2: They eventually remarried. 480 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: Not long after that, he resigned his position as that 481 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: executive and he started a small church. It began to 482 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: grow and grow. Today he's a successful pastor. His family 483 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: is in the ministry. He goes all over the world 484 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: telling others about God's outstretched hand. Friends, what God did 485 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: for him, he wants to do for you. He can 486 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: break any bondage, a bondage of addiction, a bondage of depression, 487 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: a bondage of poverty, a bondage of sickness. All it 488 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: takes is one mighty act of God's power. Now, I 489 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: believe in the coming days there are going to be 490 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: shouts of joy in your home.
