I like to 45 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 6: start with something funny, and I heard about this family 46 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 6: that lived way back in the woods. They never left 47 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,119 Speaker 6: their little town, never watched television. One day, they took 48 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 6: a vacation to New York City. The father was showing 49 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 6: his son a famous skyscraper, and they were so impressed. 50 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 6: They were especially intrigued by the elevator. They didn't know 51 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 6: what it was. 52 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 5: This elderly woman walked up and pushed a button. The 53 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 5: walls opened up. She stepped into a little room. The 54 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 5: walls closed back up. 55 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 6: They sat there contemplating what they had just seen. In 56 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 6: a few seconds, the same walls opened back up and 57 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 6: a beautiful twenty four year old girl stepped out. Almost 58 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 6: in disfelieve. The son said, Dad, what just happened? 59 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 5: He said, I. 60 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 6: Don't know, son, but go get your mother. Say it 61 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 6: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 62 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 6: what it says I am. I have what it says 63 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 6: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 64 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 6: Today I will be taught the word of God. I 65 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 6: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 66 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 6: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name. 67 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 5: God bless you. 68 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 6: I want to talk to you today about the open 69 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 6: windows of heaven. We all come to places in life 70 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 6: where we reach our limits. We've gone as far as 71 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 6: our education allows. The medical report says, we're not going 72 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 6: to get well. We've tried to break the addiction but 73 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 6: haven't been able to do it. It's easy to settle 74 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 6: where we are and think that it's never going to change. 75 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 6: But the scripture says in Malachi, when you honor God 76 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 6: with your giving, he will open the windows of heaven 77 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 6: and pour out blessings that you cannot contain. You may 78 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 6: have reached your limits on your own. There are obstacles 79 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 6: you can't seem to overcome. The good news is you're 80 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 6: not on your own because you're a giver, because you're 81 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 6: honoring God. 82 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 5: You are under the open windows of heaven. 83 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 6: If you'll get your passion back, start believing again, start 84 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 6: expecting again. 85 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 5: God is going to. 86 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 6: Rain down favor, rain down good breaks, rain down abundance. 87 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 6: The medical report may not look good, but under the 88 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 6: open windows of heaven, healing is raining down. God can 89 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 6: do what medicine cannot do. He has the final say. 90 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 6: You may have gone as far as you can in 91 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 6: your career, but under the open windows of heaven increases 92 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 6: raining down, divine connections opportunities. 93 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 5: You haven't been able to break that addiction. 94 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 6: Don't accept it as the way it's always going to be. 95 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 6: You have an advantage. You're under the open windows of heaven. 96 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 6: It's just a matter of time before freedom rains down. 97 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 6: But sometimes we think we're at a disadvantage. We don't 98 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 6: have the talent we need, we don't have the connections, 99 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 6: the experience, Joel. If I was taller, if I had 100 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 6: a better personality, if I knew the right people, then 101 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 6: I could be successful. If you think you're at a disadvantage, 102 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 6: you will live at a disadvantage. 103 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 5: If you think lack, you're going to have lack. 104 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 6: Instead of thinking I'm at a deficit, I'm lacking, turn 105 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 6: it around. 106 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 5: I'm under the open windows of heaven. 107 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 6: I have everything I need and abundance of talent, and 108 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 6: abundance of ideas, abundance of strength, abundance of health. Get 109 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 6: rid of a lack mentality and have an abundant mentality. 110 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 5: You may not have seen it yet, but don't worry. 111 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 5: Your time is coming. 112 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 6: God is about to do something unusual, something extraordinary, something 113 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 6: that you haven't seen. 114 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 5: He said. 115 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 6: He would pour out blessings that you don't have room 116 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 6: enough to contain. That means if you have room, you 117 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 6: haven't seen the fullness of what God is going to do. 118 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 6: He's going to give you so many opportunities you can't 119 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 6: take them all. 120 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 5: You have to pick and choose. 121 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 6: So many clients, so much business you have to send 122 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 6: some to your coworkers, so many resources, so many savings 123 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 6: you have to pass them to your children, your grandchildren. 124 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 6: And not just material things, but so much joy that 125 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 6: you can share joy wherever you go, so much peace, strength, stability, 126 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 6: that instead of needing to be encouraged, you're the encourager. 127 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 5: You're the lifter. 128 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 6: You're the one that brings a smile to people's face. 129 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 6: This phrase open windows of heaven is found another place 130 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 6: in the scripture. It's when the flood came in Noah's day. 131 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 6: God said he opened the windows of heaven. What happened, 132 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 6: water covered the whole earth. Wasn't a little sprinkle, a 133 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 6: minor event. It was a major flood, a huge downpour. 134 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 6: When God says he's going to open the windows of 135 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 6: heaven in your life, that doesn't mean he's going to 136 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 6: help you through the day or give you strength to 137 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 6: get past a problem. That's good, we're grateful for everything, 138 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 6: but that's not what this is talking about. God is 139 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 6: going to send a flood of his goodness. He's going 140 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 6: to do something major where you step back and say, wow, 141 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 6: I didn't see that coming. There will be blessings you 142 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 6: cannot contain and you cannot explain. All you can say 143 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 6: was that was the goodness of God. I know a 144 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 6: lady that was diagnosed with a tumor under her arm. 145 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 6: She'd gone through all the tests and X rays and 146 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 6: they discovered it was cancerous. She had been scheduled to 147 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 6: have surgery to have. 148 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 5: It removed, and she went in that morning. 149 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 6: The doctors wanted to take more X rays just to 150 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 6: verify before the operation. She had already been prepped, had 151 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 6: the IVY N about to go into the operating room. 152 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 5: The doctor came out scratching his head. 153 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 6: He said, in twenty six years of practicing, I've never 154 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 6: seen this, but them is no longer there. You could 155 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 6: see it on one X ray but not the next. 156 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 5: How could this be? 157 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 6: She lives under the open windows of heaven. When God 158 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 6: rains down healing, cancer can't stay. When he rains down, joy, 159 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 6: depression has to go. When He rains down favor good breaks. 160 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 6: It's going to thrust you to the next level. You're 161 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 6: not going to be able to explain it. You weren't 162 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 6: the most qualified, you weren't next in line, You shouldn't 163 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 6: have been chosen to look up, and you're further than 164 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 6: you ever dreamed. 165 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 5: What happened? 166 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 6: The heavens opened up, God rained down, increase took you 167 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 6: where you could not go on your own. In this 168 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 6: year of Yes, you're going to see things that you 169 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 6: cannot explain, like with this lady. The medical report suddenly 170 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 6: turns around, your business suddenly takes off. You suddenly break 171 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 6: the addiction. You've been faithful, you've given, you've served. Get ready, 172 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 6: the heavens are about to open up. God is going 173 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 6: to do something that you've never seen. It's going to 174 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 6: be a bountiful year, an abundant year, a prosperous year. 175 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 6: Problems that looked permanent are suddenly going to turn around. 176 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 6: Doors that have been closed for years are suddenly going 177 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 6: to open. You're not going to have to go after opportunity. 178 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 6: Opportunity is going to come after you. Now do your 179 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 6: part all through the day. Father, Thank you that I'm 180 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 6: under the open windows of heaven. Thank you that you're 181 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 6: pouring out blessings that I cannot contain your mind may 182 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 6: tell you this is not going to happen for you. 183 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 5: Nothing's going to change. Don't believe those lies. 184 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 6: Keep thanking God for what he's about to do. Praise 185 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 6: causes the heavens to open. Living worried discourage complaining That 186 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 6: keeps the rain from coming down. You may not see 187 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 6: how it can happen, but this is what faith is 188 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 6: all about. I won't see away, but I know you 189 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 6: have a way. My circumstances say that I'm stuck, but 190 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 6: I'm not moved by what I see. I'm moved by 191 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 6: what I know, and I know I'm under the open 192 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 6: windows of heaven. When you get this down in your spirit, 193 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 6: you won't be intimidated by the size of your dreams. 194 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 6: You won't be discouraged by problems. You won't live thinking 195 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 6: you're at a disadvantage. You'll have a confidence and expectancy 196 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 6: of knowing that at any moment, the heavens are going. 197 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 5: To open up. 198 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 6: I talked to a young man this battling cancer. He 199 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 6: lives in another state, and he would fly into Houston 200 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 6: for treatment at M. D. 201 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 5: Anderson. 202 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 6: It got to the place where it was so expensive 203 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 6: he couldn't keep flying back and forth, so he started driving. 204 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 6: He would take the treatment and then drive home by himself. 205 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 6: Nine hours he heard a message on becoming a giver 206 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 6: and tithing your income. He had all these medical bills 207 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 6: and travel expenses didn't make sense to his mind, but 208 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 6: something in his heart told him he needed to take 209 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 6: a step of faith and become a giver. Nobody pressured him, 210 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 6: but he started tithing. A month later, his boss called 211 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 6: and asked about his travel arrangements. He explained how he 212 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 6: used to fly, but now it was too expensive. He 213 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 6: was driving. His boss said, I don't want you to 214 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 6: drive anymore. I want you to start flying and put 215 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 6: all of your flights, all of your travel. 216 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 5: On our company credit card. This young man was so amazed. 217 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 6: He said, my boss knew about my situation for over 218 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 6: a year, but as soon as I started tithing, this happened. 219 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 6: What was that He stepped under the open windows of heaven. 220 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 6: When you do your part, God will do his part. 221 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 6: He'll cause people to be good to you. He'll open 222 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 6: doors that you can't open. The same God that sent 223 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 6: provision can send healing. 224 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 5: He can send the person of your dreams. He can 225 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 5: send the breakthrough like. 226 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 6: This young man, You're about to see the heavens open up. 227 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 6: God is going to surprise you. People are going to 228 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 6: go out of their way to be good to you. Contracts, scholarships, 229 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 6: opportunities are going to. 230 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 5: Come looking for you. 231 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 6: You're not going to have to force it to happen, 232 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 6: try to persuade people to be for you. God is 233 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 6: going to cause it to fall into place. Quit worrying 234 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 6: about the legal situation. Quit losing sleep over that problem 235 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 6: at work. The battle is not yours. The battle is 236 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 6: the Lord's. 237 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 5: He's your vindicator. 238 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 6: He's protecting your reputation. Stand still and you will see 239 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 6: the deliverance of the Lord. It's going to happen sooner 240 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 6: than you think. It's going to turn out better than 241 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 6: you thought. Now you have to let the seed take root. 242 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 6: Thoughts will tell you all this is not for you today. 243 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 6: Don't let your mind talk you out of it. 244 00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 5: You're a giver. 245 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 6: You're planted in the house of the Lord. God has 246 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 6: promised he will open the windows of heaven. He will 247 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 6: pour out blessings you cannot contain. It goes on to 248 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 6: say he will rebuke the devourer. 249 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 5: For your sake. 250 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 6: That means what would have devoured opportunity, devoured finances, caused 251 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 6: you to lose income, harm your children, spend on things. 252 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 5: That keep breaking down. 253 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 6: Because you're a giver, God is going to rebuke the 254 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 6: devour for your sake. It's one thing when we pray, 255 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 6: it's good when we stand against the forces of darkness. 256 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 6: But when you're under the open windows of heaven, the 257 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 6: creator of the universe says, I'm going to rise up 258 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 6: and rebuke the devourer for you. You don't have to live worried, uptight, 259 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 6: in fear, on edge. 260 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 5: You have a protector. 261 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,239 Speaker 6: You have a defender, the most tigh God is standing guard. 262 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 5: Over your life. 263 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 6: There have been many times God has rebuked the devourer 264 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 6: and we knew nothing about it. He kept you from 265 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 6: that sickness, He protected you from that accident. He kept 266 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 6: that tree from falling on your house, causing you so 267 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 6: much in repairs. He kept that supervisor from holding you back. 268 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 6: It's good to thank God for the blessing, the promotion, 269 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 6: the favor, but sometimes you need to thank God for 270 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 6: what didn't happen. Thank him that you didn't get sick, 271 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 6: Thank you that you didn't get laid off. Thank him 272 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 6: that your child didn't get in trouble. 273 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 5: That was God. 274 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 6: Behind the scenes, rebuking the devour for your sake. Genesis 275 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 6: chapter one, the earth was dark and without form. God said, 276 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 6: let there be light, and light came. He called the 277 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 6: light day and the darkness night. This was on the 278 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 6: first day of creation. What's interesting is God didn't create 279 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 6: the sun or the moon until the fourth day, yet 280 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 6: he had light from day one. That doesn't make sense. 281 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 6: How could that be. The sun is our source for light. 282 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 6: God was showing us he can bless you without a source. 283 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 6: He can promote you without people being for you. 284 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 5: He can heal you without the treatment. 285 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 6: When the angel came to marry, he said, you're going 286 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 6: to have a baby without a man. In the Old Testament, 287 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 6: God brought water out of a rock, no lake, no stream, 288 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 6: no source. When you look at your situation, you may 289 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 6: see all the reasons why you can't get well, why 290 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 6: you can't accomplish a dream, why you can't break the addiction. 291 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 6: You don't have what you need. But God is not 292 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 6: limited by what you don't have. He doesn't have to 293 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 6: have a traditional source. 294 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 5: He's God. 295 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 6: He controls the universe. When he needs light, he doesn't 296 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 6: wait for the sun. He speaks, and he has light 297 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 6: without the sun. But what God has destined for you 298 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 6: he can do without a bank, without the treatment, without 299 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 6: the experience, without the support. 300 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 5: He may not do it a traditional way. 301 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 6: I know a man that had ninety percent of his 302 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 6: vocal cords removed. He had some kind of infection, kept 303 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 6: getting worse. Finally the doctors had to remove them. He 304 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 6: was told he would never speak again. He might be 305 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 6: able to make some sounds, but never speak. But he 306 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 6: talked to me like we're talking now. I couldn't tell 307 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 6: anything was wrong. The doctor said he was a medical 308 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 6: marvel an anomaly. 309 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 5: They couldn't explain it. 310 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 6: But when God wants you to speak, he doesn't check 311 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 6: with your vocal cords. What God has planned for you. 312 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 6: He doesn't check with your bank account. He doesn't check 313 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 6: with your friends to see if they approve. He doesn't 314 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 6: check to see if you have the talent. He speaks, 315 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 6: and it becomes He's going to bless you. Without a source, 316 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 6: You're going to see things happen and think, how did 317 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 6: I get here? How did I know how to do this? 318 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 6: How did we see this growth? How did we get 319 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 6: the compact center? That was God blessing us without a source. 320 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 6: This is what happened to Ruth in the scripture. She 321 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 6: was out in the fields picking up leftover wheat, trying 322 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 6: to survive. God spoke to the owner of the field 323 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 6: told him to leave wheat on the ground on purpose 324 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 6: for Ruth. Now she had more than enough. She could 325 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 6: finish in half the time. It was like the windows 326 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 6: of heaven opened up. She came into an abundance, but 327 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 6: she didn't see a source. 328 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 5: She didn't know that the owner was doing that. 329 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 6: God is going to make things happen where you don't 330 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 6: see a source. It's not going to be traditional. Quit 331 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 6: worrying because you don't see how your situation can work out. 332 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 6: God's ways are not our ways. 333 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 5: They are higher and better than our ways. 334 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 6: Sometimes we're waiting for the sun for light. God says, 335 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 6: I don't need the sun. I just speak and it happens. 336 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 6: In Ast chapter eight, an Ethiopian man had traveled a 337 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 6: great distance to Jerusalem to worship in the temple. He 338 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 6: was the treasurer for the Queen of Sheba, an influential man. 339 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 6: On his way back home, he was writing in his chariot, 340 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 6: reading from the Book of Isaiah. Philip had been in 341 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 6: Samaria with Peter and John leading the church, having great success. 342 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 6: An angel appeared to Philip and told him to go 343 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 6: down to the desert road that runs from Jerusalem to Gaza. 344 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 6: I'm sure this didn't make much sense to Philip. Things 345 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 6: were going great in Samaria. 346 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 5: Now he's supposed to go to the desert. 347 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 6: While he was there, he saw this chariot passing by 348 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 6: with this Ethiopian man. God told him to go catch 349 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 6: the chariot. He took off, run and full speeding. 350 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 5: He caught up with it. 351 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 6: He could hear the man reading from the Book of Isaiah. 352 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 5: He asked him if he understood what he was reading. 353 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 5: The man said that he didn't. 354 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 6: So Philip got up in the chariot with him and 355 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 6: began to explain how Isaiah was talking about how Jesus 356 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,959 Speaker 6: came as the Savior, and he shared the good news. 357 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 6: This man was so excited he saw some water told 358 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 6: his driver to stop the chariot. He said to Philip, 359 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 6: I want you to baptize me in water right here. 360 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 6: His whole life was changed from that one encounter. What's 361 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 6: interesting is this man wasn't looking for Philip. He didn't 362 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 6: even know Philip. Philip chased him down an unexpected blessing. 363 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 6: This man was minding his own business, riding in his 364 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 6: chariot out of nowhere. Philip showed up and gave him 365 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 6: insight that took him to the next level. Like this man, 366 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 6: Because you're a giver, because you're honoring God, God is 367 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 6: going to have the right people search you out. He's 368 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 6: going to cause good breaks to find you. You may 369 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 6: not realize it, but right now there's a Philip chasing 370 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 6: your chariot. There are blessings God has ordained to track 371 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 6: you down, people that will use their influence, their experience 372 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 6: to push you forward, to help you go where you 373 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 6: could not go on your own. 374 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 5: Some Phillips are come in your way. 375 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 6: This man was leaving the temple when Philip found him. 376 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 5: When you take time to. 377 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 6: Go to the House of the Lord, don't be surprised 378 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 6: if when you get home, if sometime this week, sometime 379 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 6: this month, Philip shows up something unusual and unexpected. Blessing 380 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 6: is because you're under the open windows of heaven. When 381 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 6: I look back over my life, I can see the phillips. 382 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 6: In my early twenties, I walked into a jewelry store 383 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 6: to buy a battery for my watch. 384 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 5: There was Philip, so to speak. 385 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 6: I met Victoria unexpectedly for the first time. 386 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 5: She kept chasing me down finally caught me. That's my 387 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 5: side of the story. 388 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 6: In two thousand and five, a book publisher called me 389 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 6: out of the blue asked if he could publish my 390 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 6: next book. 391 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 5: I wasn't looking for him. 392 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 6: We already had a publisher, but when he made the offer, 393 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 6: I said, hello, Philip. A few years ago, an executive 394 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 6: from Sirius XM satellite radio called and asked if I 395 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 6: would do an hour program on one of their channels 396 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 6: each week, and told him I wasn't interested in that. 397 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 6: He said, how about we give you your own channel. 398 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 5: I said, hello Philip. I didn't go after it. It 399 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 5: came after me. 400 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 6: When you keep God first place, when you're a giver, 401 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 6: because you're under the open windows of heaven, blessings will 402 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 6: overtake you. They'll catch you by surprise. You need to 403 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 6: get ready. 404 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 5: Some Phillips are about to show up. 405 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 6: Good breaks that you didn't see coming, people that go 406 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 6: out of their way to be good to you, Opportunities 407 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 6: that will thrust you to the next level. 408 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 5: You couldn't have made it happen. 409 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 6: Like the Ethiopian man, you didn't have the connections, you 410 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 6: didn't even know them. 411 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 5: It was the hand of God. 412 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 6: Maybe you're single, believing to meet the right person. You 413 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 6: don't have to force things to happen, try to convince 414 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 6: people to like you, compromise your values. Just stay on 415 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 6: the high road, keep honoring God. He'll have the right 416 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 6: people find you. Philip is on the way, somebody better 417 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 6: than you can imagine for you men, Phillis is on 418 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 6: the way. That's Philip's sister, and she's good looking. That's 419 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 6: not in the scripture, but it should be. But here's 420 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 6: what I've learned. You don't have to seek after people. 421 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 6: Seek after God. He'll bring divine connections, the right people 422 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 6: that will move you further into your destiny. In One 423 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 6: Kings eighteen, there had been a drought in Samaria for 424 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 6: three and a half years, no water, no rain. Crops 425 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 6: had dried up, people had little food, struggling to survive. 426 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 6: The prophet Elijah could have said, God, it's not fair. 427 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 5: I'm a giver. 428 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 6: I'm serving you, but I'm not under the open windows 429 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 6: of heaven. 430 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 5: I'm in a drought. 431 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 6: Instead of complaining Elijah went on top of Mount Carmel 432 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 6: and begin to thank God that the rain was coming. 433 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 6: I can hear him say, Lord, thank you that rain 434 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 6: is on the way. Thank you that you're changing things 435 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 6: in my favor. He sent his assistant out to see 436 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 6: if there were any clouds in the sky. The men 437 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 6: came back and said, in effect, no, sorry, Elijah, your 438 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 6: praise isn't doing any good in any clouds. It's perfectly clear. 439 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 6: This is when many people give up and get discouraged. Geord, 440 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 6: I've been given, I've been coming, I've been helping others, 441 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 6: but nothing has changed. 442 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:11,959 Speaker 5: I'm still in a drought. 443 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 6: When Elijah heard the news that there were no clouds, 444 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 6: instead of being discouraged, I can imagine that he turned 445 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 6: up his praise Lord, thank you that you're opening the 446 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 6: windows of heaven. 447 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 5: Thank you that rain is on the way. He sent 448 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 5: the man back again and again and again say answer, 449 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 5: no clouds. 450 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 6: But on the seventh time the men came back and said, 451 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 6: this time I saw something different. 452 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 5: Wasn't much. 453 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 6: Don't get your hopes up, but I saw a little 454 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 6: cloud up in the sky. Elijah sent word to King Ahab, saying, 455 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 6: I hear the sound of the abundance of rain. 456 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 5: Here's the key. 457 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 6: Elijah heard rain in his spirit before he saw rain 458 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 6: on the outside. 459 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 5: God always puts things in your spirit before they come 460 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 5: to pass. 461 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 6: That's why you have to latch on the promises in 462 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 6: the middle of struggle and lack. You have to hear 463 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 6: abundance in loneliness. You have to hear friendships. In sickness, 464 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 6: you have to hear health. In trouble and opposition, you 465 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 6: need to hear victory. Elijah told King Ahab, you better 466 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 6: get in your chariot and take all there's about to 467 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 6: be a huge downpour. 468 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 5: Ahab. God in that chariot. 469 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 6: He headed out as fast as he could, God his 470 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 6: horses going. 471 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 5: Full speed ahead. 472 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 6: The scripture says that God gave Elijah special strength. He 473 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 6: tucked in his cloak and ran ahead of Ahab's chariot 474 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 6: all the way to the next city. 475 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 5: He out ran a chariot. 476 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 6: When you're under the open windows of heaven, God will 477 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 6: help you accomplish things that you could not accomplish on 478 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 6: your own. Philip caught up to us chariot help the 479 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 6: Ethiopian man. Elijah outran a chariot. It goes on to 480 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 6: tell how the heavens opened up. The three and a 481 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 6: half year drought came to an end. There was a 482 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 6: huge downpour. What Elijah heard in his spirit suddenly came 483 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 6: to pass. The things you've been hearing in your spirit, 484 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 6: the abundance, the dreams, the healing, the child coming back home, 485 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 6: meeting the right person. You've heard it on the inside. 486 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 6: It's taken root. Like Elijah, it's about to suddenly happen. 487 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 6: You've been praying, thanking God, doing the right thing. Get ready, 488 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 6: the heavens are about to open up. 489 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 5: You're going to see an abundance of favor, an abundance 490 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 5: of joy, and abundance of healing. 491 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 6: That drought is not just going to come to an end. 492 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 6: You're going to outrun the chariot. You're going to go 493 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 6: further than you ever imagined. You're going to discover ability 494 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,239 Speaker 6: that you didn't know was in you. God is going 495 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 6: to bless you without a source. Quit focusing on what 496 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 6: you don't have. All Elijah had was a little cloud, 497 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 6: no chance for rain in the natural. But we serve 498 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 6: a supernatural God. He can give water without rain, light 499 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 6: without the sun, healing without the treatment, promotion without. 500 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 5: People being for you.
