I 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: promise you we'll make you feel right at home. I 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: like to start with something funny. And one Sunday morning 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: in church, everything was going great until a bolt of 11 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: lightning hit the sanctuary. When the smoke cleared, Satan himself 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: was standing behind the podium. People panicked and took off running, 13 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: everyone that is, except one lady. She sat on the 14 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: front row as calmly as can be. Satan was appalled. 15 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: He said, lady, do you know who I am? She said, 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: I sure do. He said, aren't you afraid of me? 17 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: She said not in the least bit. He said why not? 18 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: She said, why should I be? I've been married to 19 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: your brother for thirty years. Ye all right, say it 20 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 21 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,199 Speaker 1: what it says I am. I have what it says 22 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 23 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: Today I will be taught the word of God. I'll 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,559 Speaker 1: boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 25 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 26 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 27 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: by this time next year. We all face challenges that 28 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: look permanent, like they'll never turn around, dreams and goals 29 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: that seem like they're a long way off. It's easy 30 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: to get discouraged and accept that it's never going to 31 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: work out. But what you can't see is God is 32 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: working behind the scenes and what he promised you, he 33 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: still has every intention of bringing it to pass. Now. 34 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: All the circumstances may say it's going to take years 35 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: to get out of death, years to meet the right person, 36 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: but God is going to surprise you. It's going to 37 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: happen sooner than it looks. There wasn't any sign of it. 38 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: You weren't expecting it out of nowhere. Your health improves, 39 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: your business takes off. You break the addiction. Don't believe 40 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: the lies that is permanent. You may not see anything changing, 41 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: yet stay in faith. You are closer than you think. 42 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: Second King, Chapter four. There was a wealthy lady that 43 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 1: lived in the town of Shunem. When the prophet Elisha 44 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: came through, she would invite him to come to dinner 45 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: with her and her husband. She could sense there was 46 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: something special about Elisha. She told her husband, he's a 47 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: man of God and we need to take care of him. 48 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: She had them build a room on top of her house, 49 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: a guest suite, so Elisha could stay there when he 50 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: was in town. She could have just kept inviting him 51 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: to dinner. That would have been nice. She could have 52 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: rented him a room at the local end. That would 53 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: have been kind. But this lady went to great links 54 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: to take care of Elisha. He had his own room 55 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: on top of her house, beautiful bed windows, nice carpet 56 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: on the ground. One day, Elisha was in town resting 57 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: in that bed. He began to think about how kind 58 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: the lady was and how she'd gone to great expense 59 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: to make sure he was comfortable. He said to his assistant, 60 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: go ask her what she wants me to do for her. 61 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: He asked. The lady said, I don't need anything. We're blessed, 62 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: we're healthy. Life is good. But Elisha was determined to 63 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: do something. He said, we'll go back and ask if 64 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: she wants me to put in a good word for 65 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: her to the commander of the army. He asked, came 66 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: back Elisha, She said no to that too. She knows 67 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: the king, she knows the commander. They're all friends. You 68 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: would think Eliza would say, all right, I tried my best. 69 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: I'm glad this lady is blessed. But he didn't stop there. 70 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: He asked his assistant, what do you think I can 71 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: do for her? He said, the only thing I can 72 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: think of is she's never had children. She's been burying 73 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: her whole life. Elisha said, go get her. I want 74 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: to speak to her. The lady came to the doorway. 75 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: Elisha said, by this time next year, you're going to 76 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: be holding a son in your arms. She nearly passed out. 77 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: That was her dream, She said, sir, please don't lie 78 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: to me like that. You know my husband is an 79 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: old man. Even though she thought it was too good 80 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: to be true, even though she didn't really believe. A 81 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: year later, she gave birth to a healthy son. Now 82 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: I can imagine that bed she built for the profit. 83 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: Now her little baby was in that bed. Extra room 84 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: she added to take care of the man of God. 85 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: She never dreamed one day her own child would be 86 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: using that room. When you give to take care of 87 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: God's work, when you're generous with your tithes and offerings 88 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,799 Speaker 1: like this lady, God will always take care of you. 89 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: You cannot give God something without him giving you more 90 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: back in return. This lady didn't need anything. She was blessed, happy. 91 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: But God won't allow you to just be a giver. 92 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: When you give, it will come back to you. Good measure, 93 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: press down, running over. This lady had already accepted that 94 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: she couldn't have children. It was too late. She had 95 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: missed her window of opportunity. But God is not limited 96 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: by the natural He's a supernatural God. He can make 97 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: things happen out of season. It may look like you 98 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: could never have a baby, never accomplish a dream, never 99 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: get out of debt. God is saying to you what 100 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: he said to her. By this time next year, you're 101 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: going to see things happen that you never dreamed would happened. 102 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: The medical report may not look good, but God can 103 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: do what medicine cannot do. By this time next year, 104 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: you could be cancer free. You've been single a long time. 105 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: Get ready. By this time next year you could be 106 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: happily married. Business is slow, Stay encouraged. By this time 107 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: next year, you could be out of debt. Not me, Joel, 108 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,679 Speaker 1: you should see my finances. You should see my God. 109 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: One touch of his favor, one good, great, one promotion 110 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: will put you into overflow. When you hear this, it 111 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: can sound too good to be true. That's the way 112 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: this lady felt. She said, in effect, Elisha, don't get 113 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: my hopes up. You know, I've dreamed of having a baby. 114 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: Her mind told her that it wasn't going to happen, 115 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 1: but down in her spirit, something whispered, this is for you. 116 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: Receive it. Your baby is on the way. Your mind 117 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: will tell you all the reasons why you won't get well, 118 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: how you can't get out of debt, especially in a year. 119 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: Your kid is going to take you thirty years. Your 120 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: mind may say no, But if you'll listen down in 121 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: your spirit, you will hear that still small voice saying yes, 122 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: it is on the way. I talked to a lady 123 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: that had a child born prematurely. Her son spent the 124 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: first year of his life in the hospital. She has insurance, 125 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: but it didn't cover the full amount. The part she 126 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: owed was three million dollars, and she was grateful that 127 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: her son was alive. But she's a school teacher. It 128 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: looked like she would be paying on that debt her 129 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: whole life. Just recently she received a letter from the hospital. 130 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: The board of directors said, we have decided to forgive 131 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: your three million dollar debt. Not only that, they refunded 132 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: several years worth the payments that she had already made. 133 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: But if that lady would have heard this message before 134 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: she received the letter, she would have thought, Joel, you 135 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: have the wrong person. Me be out of debt in 136 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: a year, that's not possible. But if she were here today, 137 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: she would tell you God can do the impossible. Just 138 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: because you don't see a way doesn't mean God doesn't 139 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: have a way. It's because He's going to do it 140 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: out of the ordinary, unusual. You didn't see it coming. Now, 141 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: our part is to do like the lady in the scripture. 142 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: Be a giver, have a generous spirit. When you're always 143 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: being a blessing, God will make sure that you're always blessed. 144 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: Now I don't mean just with material things. God can 145 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: give you what money can not by this lady in 146 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: the scripture, she had wealth, influence, she knew the right people, 147 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: but she didn't have children. God said to her, in effect, 148 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you something that you can't buy. Here's 149 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: a sun. God can bring you a divine connection somebody 150 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: in your life to love. You can't buy that. God 151 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: can give you peace in your mind where you can 152 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: lay down at night and sleep well. You can't purchase that. 153 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: Perhaps you're fighting in illness. Every report says it's permanent. 154 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: Just learn to live with it. Receive this into your spirit. 155 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: By this time next year, you're going to be healthy, whole, 156 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: back on your feet, enjoying life. Well, Joel, how could 157 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: that be possible? The medical report says, there's no way. 158 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: There's another report. God says he is restoring health back 159 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: into you. He said, the number of your days he 160 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: will fulfill. Heard a story about a twelve year old girl. 161 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: She had a rare form of incurable cancer. Instead of 162 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: going to school playing with her friends, she spent her 163 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: days in the hospital, very sick. Didn't look like she 164 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: would make it much longer. These researchers received approval to 165 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: use an experimental drug they'd never tried it on people. 166 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: She took the treatment. After two months, the cancer started 167 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: to shrink. Six months later she was able to go 168 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: back to school today at fourteen, against all odds, she 169 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: is cancer free. But if you would have told this 170 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: young lady in the hospital with terminal cancer that by 171 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: this time next year you're going to be back at school, 172 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: no cancer, full of energy, enjoy and life, she could 173 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: have thought, it's not possible. It's never happened with this 174 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: type of cancer. But God has the final say. And 175 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: what you think, I think is permanent. Your marriage is 176 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: too far gone. You've had the addiction so long you 177 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: could never break it, never get well, never meet the 178 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: right person. God is saying, by this time next year, 179 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: it's going to happen dreams that look like they'll take 180 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: a lifetime to accomplish. Get ready, it's going to happen 181 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: sooner than you think. Things are about to fall into place. 182 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: The right people are going to find you, good breaks 183 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: are going to track you down. You wouldn't be hearing 184 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: this if God wasn't about to do something amazing, something 185 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: out of the ordinary. When we were trying to find 186 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: property to build a new sanctuary, the doors kept closing. 187 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: Everything fell through. I didn't see any more options. I 188 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: didn't think we could keep growing. We looked like we 189 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: were stuck. We didn't have any more room. If you 190 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: would have told me back then, when I was so 191 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: discouraged that by this time next year we would have 192 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: a building already built on the main freeway, one of 193 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: the most recognized buildings in the city, the Compact Center, 194 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: I would have thought, there's no way, how could that happen? 195 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: That was so far out of my thinking. But even 196 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 1: though I couldn't fathom it, it didn't mean it didn't happen. 197 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: Here we are today. What am I saying? Some of 198 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: these things You may not be able to see it yet, 199 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: seems so far out, so unlikely. But our God is 200 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: so great. That doesn't mean it's going to keep him 201 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: from doing it. Because you honor him like this lady 202 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: in the scripture. God is not only going to do 203 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: more than you can imagine, but it's going to happen 204 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: sooner than you think. It is not going to take 205 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: your whole lifetime to accomplish the dream God put in 206 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: your heart. By this time next year, you're going to 207 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: be amazed at where you are. If you would have 208 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: told me when I was twenty two years old and single, 209 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: playing baseball every night, never really dated anyone, that by 210 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: that time next year I would be engaged to a beautiful, talented, fun, hot, fine, 211 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: good looking girl named Victoria. I wouldn't have believed it, 212 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,719 Speaker 1: but that didn't stop God from doing it. Thirty one 213 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: years later, we're still married and I'm still just as 214 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: good looking. I mean, she's still just as good looking. 215 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: But God has some of these by this time next 216 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: year lined up for you where you're gonna look back 217 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: and say, Wow. I never dreamed i'd have this position, 218 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: never dreamed my children would be doing this great, never 219 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: dreamed I could build that orphanage. Get ready for God 220 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: to show out in your life. Growing up, we knew 221 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: this very successful businessman. He built his company into this 222 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: global brand that was known all over the world. His 223 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: name was the company's name. He was very well respected 224 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: and influential. But later in life, the economy went down 225 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: and his business slowed. After years of being successful and 226 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: seeing blessings, it looked like he would end his life 227 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: having to close his business with his reputation tarnished. He 228 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: was in his late eighties and old millions of dollars 229 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: in debt, didn't look like there was any way he 230 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: could pay it. At his lowest moment, when it looked 231 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: so impossible, he didn't think it ever work out. He 232 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: received a phone call out of the blue. This man said, 233 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: we'd like to purchase your company. We'll pay off all 234 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: the debt, we'll renovate all the facilities, and we'll keep 235 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: your name to honor your legacy. That company spent over 236 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars renovating their headquarters. Today that business 237 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: is thriving more than ever. But if you would have 238 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: told this man in the middle of the downturn, when 239 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: it seemed so impossible, that by this time next year, 240 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: you will not only be out of debt, but your 241 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: business will be flourishing and your legacy will continue on. 242 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: He couldn't have fathomed it. He never dreamed it would 243 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: turn out that good. Some of these things that seemed 244 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: so impossible seemed so far out to you, Like with him, 245 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,239 Speaker 1: by this time next year, you're going to be amazed. 246 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: You couldn't have made it happen. It was the hand 247 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: of God breathing on your life. Think about Joseph sitting 248 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: in a prison, betrayed by his brothers, falsely accused by 249 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: the boss's wife. For twelve years, one bad break after another. 250 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: There was nothing in his circumstances that looked like he 251 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: would ever accomplish that dream of ruling a nation. It 252 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: looked just the opposite. If Joseph would have turned on 253 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: the television, he could have said, Joel, I appreciate your encouragement, 254 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: but I'm in prison. I'm a slave. I had no trial, 255 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: I have no lawyer. I don't have anyone to stand 256 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: up for me. He could have been discouraged. I believe, 257 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: deep down Joseph could hear this still small voice saying 258 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: this is not your destiny. Your time is coming. One day, 259 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: the guard came over and told Joseph that the Pharaoh 260 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: wanted to see him. Joseph went in and interpreted the 261 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: pharaoh's dream. He was so impressed he made Joseph the 262 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: prime minister of all of Egypt. You don't need everyone 263 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: to be for you, You just need the right people 264 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: to be for you. God has already lined up people 265 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: in positions of influence that will open doors you couldn't open, 266 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: bring you opportunity and promotion that you didn't see coming. 267 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: You don't have to find them like Joseph, They will 268 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: find you. But if you told Joseph, sitting in prison 269 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: after twelve years of bad breaks injustice, that by this 270 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: time next year he was going to be second in 271 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: command of the nation. Instead of being in prison, he 272 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: was going to be in charge, respected, admired, with people 273 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: serving him, he could have thought, are you kidding? Do 274 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: you see these bars I behind? Do you realize the 275 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: boss's wife is against me. It's one thing to have 276 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: a man against you, but when you have a lady 277 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: mad at you and she happens to be married to 278 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: your boss, you are going to need a miracle. You 279 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: may be in one of these situations where it seems unfair, 280 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: like it's never going to turn around. God is saying, 281 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: by this time next year, it's going to change. By 282 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: this time next year, you're going to be VINDI promoted 283 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: in a position of honor. Why are you worrying? Why 284 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: are you losing sleep? God is still on the throne. 285 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: He hasn't forgotten about you. Your time is coming. This 286 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: looks like a stumbling block that you can't get past. 287 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: The truth is it's a stepping stone that's about to 288 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: take you to a new level of your destiny. In 289 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: the scripture, a man named Hayman worked for the King 290 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: of Persia. He had a very influential position, but he 291 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: let it go to his head. People would bow down 292 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: before him, everyone that is, except Mordecai. Mordecai was a 293 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: relative of Queen Esther. They were Jews. He knew you 294 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: only bowed down before God. This made Haymond so upset 295 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: that he went to the king and said, there's this 296 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: group of people that don't obey your commands. They're troublemakers 297 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: and they need to be killed. The king issued a 298 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: decree that on a certain date, you could wipe out 299 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: all the Jews. But one night, this king couldn't sleep. 300 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: He asked his assistant to bring him one of the 301 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: books that had the city's history recorded in it. The 302 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: assistant randomly grabbed a book and gave it to the king. 303 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: The king opened to a random page and started reading. 304 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: Just so happened. It talked about a good deed that 305 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: Mordecai had done for the city. The king was so 306 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: impressed that next morning he called Hayman in said, Hayman, 307 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: what do you think we should do for a man 308 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 1: that's done a good deed and has never been recognized 309 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: by the city. Well, Hayman was so arrogant he thought 310 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: the king was talking about him, so he played it 311 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: up real big. He said, King, I think we should 312 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: put a royal robe on him, have a big parade, 313 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: march him up and down the streets with someone shouting 314 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: what a great man he is. The King said, I 315 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: love that idea. Now go find Mordecai and do just 316 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,959 Speaker 1: what you said. Queen Esther told the king what Haman 317 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: was really trying to do. Instead of getting rid of 318 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: all the Jews, the King got rid of Haman. He 319 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: reversed the decree and gave Mordecai Haman's position. If you 320 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: told Mordecai in the middle of the trouble, when it 321 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: looked like the Jews would be annihilated, that by this 322 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: time next year, Hayman is going to be gone, the 323 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: King's decree is going to be reversed, and you're going 324 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: to be in a position of honor. He could have 325 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: thought that's too good to be true. How could all 326 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: that possibly happen? God has ways that we've never thought of. 327 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: You may be in a difficult situation. People coming against you. 328 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: Finances don't look good, Trouble in a relationship, You could 329 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: be upset, worried. Stay in peace. It is not per 330 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: life with Mordecai. By this time next year, it's all 331 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: going to be turned in your favor because you honor God. 332 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: He's dealing with those enemies. He's fighting your battles. Those 333 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: people that are trying to stop you are not going 334 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: to succeed. It looks like they have the upper hand, 335 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: they have more authority. They may be over you. The 336 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: good news is our God is over them. He controls 337 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: the universe. Keep doing the right thing, don't take matters 338 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: into your own hands. Let God be your vindicator, and 339 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: by this time next year, the enemies you see today 340 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: you will see no more. By this time next year, 341 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: what was meant for your harm will be turned to 342 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: your advantage. Now, Joel, this is encouraging, but I don't 343 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: see how it can happen for me. Neither did Mordecai, 344 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: Neither did Joseph, needed did that twelve year old girl. 345 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: You don't have to see how. All you have to 346 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: do is believe. When you believe, angels go to work, 347 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: when you believe forces of darkness are pushed back. When 348 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: you believe, things begin to change in your favor. I 349 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: talked to a man that had been in prison since 350 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: he was seventeen years old. He was convicted of selling 351 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: drugs and sentenced to forty years. He'd been watching us 352 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: in prison with the other inmates, and he'd given his 353 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: life to Christ and had a whole new outlook. One 354 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: message I talked about how God is going to do 355 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: things sooner than expected. That took root down in his spirit. 356 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: He started telling the other inmates he was going to 357 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: get out soon. They looked at him like he wasn't 358 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: all there. He had twenty five more years left. Six 359 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: months later, the warden called him in and said, because 360 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: of good behavior, we're going to commute the rest of 361 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: your sentence. You are free to go. Those other prisoners 362 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: looked at him like, well, you're pay for us. He 363 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: was released last week. The first place he came was 364 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: to Lakewood. He flew here from another city. I met 365 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: him afterwards. He had big tears running down his cheeks, 366 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: so grateful, so overcome with emotion, he could hardly speak. 367 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: Like with him, by this time next year, you're going 368 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: to see things happen that you never dream what happened. 369 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: By this time next year, you're going to be at 370 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: a new level in your health, in your finances, in 371 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: your career. By this time next year, you're going to 372 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: be free from that addiction. God is up to something. 373 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: He's about to show out in your life. Well, Joe, 374 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: you're just getting people's hopes up. I don't think this 375 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: is going to happen for me. You're right, it's not 376 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: going to happen. This is for people who believe. You 377 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: have to let the seed take root. Here's the key. 378 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 1: Don't talk yourself out of it, talk yourself into it. 379 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: Second King, chapter seven. The Syrian army had surrounded the 380 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: city of Samaria and cut off the Israelites food supply. 381 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: The people were desperate. It looked like it was the end. 382 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: The prophet Elisha showed up and said to the Israelites, 383 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: by this time tomorrow, there will be so much food 384 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: that you can buy bread for a penny a loaf. 385 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: People looked at Elisha like he had lost his mind. 386 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: They were surrounded starving to death seemed impossible. One of 387 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: the main leaders said, Elisha, even if God opened the 388 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: windows of heaven, that still wouldn't happen. There were four 389 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: lepers sitting outside the city gates of Samaria. They thought, 390 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: we have nothing to lose. We're going to die anyway. 391 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: Let's walk down to the enemy's camp and see what 392 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: they're doing. They started walking. God multiplied the sound of 393 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: their footstaf As the enemy thought a huge army was attacking. 394 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: They panicked and took off, running for their lives. They 395 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: left all of their food, their supplies, their gold, their silver. 396 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,959 Speaker 1: The leopards went back and told the Israelites, just like 397 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: Elisha said, there was so much food, you could buy 398 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: a loaf of bread for one penny. Joel, I thought 399 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: you said by this time next year. Yes, but God 400 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: has some of these by this time tomorrow. It may 401 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: not take a full year. God knows how to accelerate things. 402 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: It's going to happen sooner than you think. You are 403 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: closer than it looks. All the circumstances may say it's impossible. 404 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: Could never get well that soon. My business could never 405 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: turn around overnight. Joel, you know I can't break this 406 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: addiction by tomorrow. It's gonna take years. You don't know 407 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: what God is up to. You're looking at it in 408 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: the natural. We serve a supernatural God. Don't be like 409 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: that one leader and think all the reasons why can't happen. 410 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 1: Get in agreement with God. Believe something good is on 411 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: the way all through the day. Thank Him that he's 412 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: working in your life. If you do this, I believe 413 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: and declare, like the lady with Elisha, by this time 414 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: next year, you're going to have your baby. That dream 415 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: is going to come to pass. That problem is going 416 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: to be resolved in Jesus' name, And if you receive it. 417 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: Can you say, then today I'd like to give you 418 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 419 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 420 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make 421 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 1: you my Lord and savior. If you pray that simple prayer, 422 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: we believe you got born again. Get in a good 423 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: Bible based church, and keep God first place. 424 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 2: It's a new year, an opportunity for a fresh start. 425 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 2: It's a new year, time to forget the struggles of 426 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 2: the past and make room for new blessings.
