We'll keep you 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: encouraged and inspired. I like to start with something funny, 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: and I heard about this mother. One Sunday morning. She 11 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: went to her son's bedroom said son, wake up, it's 12 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: time to go to church. 13 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 2: The son said, no, Mom, I'm not going to church today. 14 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: She said why not? He said, I'll give you two 15 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: good reasons. Number one, I don't like the people, and 16 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: number two, they don't like me. She said, all right, 17 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: I'll give you two better reasons why you should go. 18 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,959 Speaker 1: Number one, you're forty nine years old, and number two 19 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: you're the pastor say like you meet it. This is 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: my vibe. I am what it says I am. I 21 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: have what it says I have. I can do what 22 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: it says I can do. Today I will be taught 23 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, 24 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: my heart is recepted. I will never be the same. 25 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 26 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: to you today about a transfer is coming. We all 27 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: have dreams and goals we want to accomplish. We know 28 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: God's put it in our heart. Start a business, build 29 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: that orphanage, to send our children to college. 30 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: But we don't have the means to do it. 31 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: We don't have the resources, the position, the influence. Seems 32 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: like we're limited, But the scripture says the wealth of 33 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: the ungodly is laid up for the righteous. One version 34 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: says it will be transferred into the hands. 35 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: Of the righteous. 36 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: You may not be able to accomplish your dreams on 37 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: your own. What's in your heart is too big for 38 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: your bank account. You have the vision, you want to 39 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: leave your family better, but you don't have the position. 40 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 2: The good news is a transfer is coming. 41 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: God doesn't give you the vision without having provision. He's 42 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: already lined up these trendsfers, good breaks, promotion, divine connections. 43 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: Because you're the righteous, because you keep God first place, 44 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: you're faithful, you're generous, you're good to others, God said, 45 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: he's going to take from those who are not using 46 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: their resources in a positive way. They're not using their influence, 47 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: their means to help mankind. They're only focused on themselves. 48 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: And he's going to transfer that into your hands. It's 49 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: going to be out of the ordinary, where you have 50 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: the means to accomplish things. 51 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: You never dreamed. 52 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: You can leave an inheritance, like the scripture says to 53 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: your children's children. You can expand your business. You can 54 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: support that girl's home, you can move into that nice neighborhood. 55 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: Here's the key. 56 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: You don't have to chase the blessing. Chase after God, 57 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: and the blessing will chase you. These transfers will track 58 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: you down. The scripture says, when you honor God, his 59 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: blessings will overtake you. One version says they will catch 60 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: you by surprise. You didn't see it coming. You never 61 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: dreamed you could pay your house off. You thought it 62 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: would take thirty years. But then suddenly a transfer God 63 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: favors you. Promotion and inheritance, a business opportunity. You never 64 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: dreamed you'd be running that department. You thought you were 65 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: stuck in the background. You never dreamed you could send 66 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: your children to college. You thought you were limited. 67 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: What happened. 68 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: You came into a transfer. God suddenly shifted things. You 69 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: went from the back to the front, from renting to owning, 70 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: from not having enough to more than enough. Transfer is 71 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: not just material things, but it's influence, it's honor, prestige, 72 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: where people see you in a new light. They looked 73 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: down on you, didn't give you credit, wouldn't take your ideas. 74 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: You keep doing the right thing, keep being your best 75 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,559 Speaker 1: where you are. 76 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: They don't control your destiny. They may discount you now, but. 77 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: A transfer is coming. There will be a day when 78 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: the roles reversed. They have the upper hand now, but 79 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: when the transfer happens, you'll be in a position of honor, influence, prestige. 80 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: We see these. 81 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: Transfers all through the scripture. Egypt was one of the 82 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: greatest superpowers of that day. They had more wealth and 83 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: affluence than any other country. When God delivered the Israelites 84 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: out of slavery. As they were leaving Egypt, the scripture 85 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: says the Egyptians gave them all their gold, silver and 86 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: fine clothing. 87 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: They didn't leave empty handed. A transfer took place. 88 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: These people had oppressed them for years they had the 89 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: upper hand. They were forced to work without pay in 90 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: unfair conditions, while their oppressors lived comfortably in nice homes 91 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: with whatever they needed. The Israelites suffered in lack, not 92 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: having enough, being mistreated. But the time came where God said, 93 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to take from those who are not using 94 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: their resources for the right purposes, and I'm going to 95 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: transfer them into the hands of my people. The Israelites 96 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: went into the desert loaded down with the wealth from 97 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: their oppressors. God knows how to transfer resources, transfer influence, 98 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: transfer abundance. 99 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 2: You may be in a situation that looks like you're stocked, 100 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 2: you're at a disadvantage, you're not being treated right. 101 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: My encouragement is stay in peace, keep doing the right thing. 102 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: A transfer is coming. God knows how to make it 103 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: up to you. He has good breaks that will suddenly 104 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: shift things in your favor. The Israelites wandered in the 105 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: desert for years. When they finally went into the Promised Land, 106 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: the scripture says they lived in houses that they didn't build. 107 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: They read from vineyards that they didn't plant. 108 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: The clusters of grapes were so large it took two 109 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: people to carry them. 110 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: They didn't have to start from scratch. 111 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: They didn't have to go in there and build, plant, 112 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: work their way up. 113 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: It was transferred to them. 114 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: God has some of these transfers in your future houses. 115 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: That you didn't build, vineyards, that you didn't plant, that 116 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: means promotion where you weren't next in line opportunity, You 117 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: didn't see coming blessings that chase you down. 118 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 2: You didn't earn it, you didn't work for it. 119 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: It's simply the goodness of God transferring resources, influence, favor 120 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: into the hands of the righteous. 121 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 2: That's what happened with us in this building. 122 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: For thirty years, the Compact Center was the premier facility 123 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: in all of Houston. Two million people came through this 124 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: building a year. The Rockets won two World championships here. 125 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: Practically every major entertainer had played in this building, Elvis, 126 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, the Rolling Stones. When we were looking for 127 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: property to build a new auditorium, someone mentioned that we 128 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: should try to get. 129 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,119 Speaker 2: The Compact Center. 130 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: In my mind, that was so far out I couldn't 131 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: fathom that being a possibility. 132 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: I said, what do you mean. 133 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: That building is worth four hundred million dollars. We could 134 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: never afford it. 135 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: My mind said there's no way, but deep. 136 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: Down I could hear a still small voice saying, yes, Joel, 137 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be yours. It was a long battle, 138 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: but we ended up signing a thirty year lease with 139 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: the City of Houston for eleven million dollars, come out 140 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: to be a little over three hundred thousand dollars. 141 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 2: A year to lease this building. 142 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: We do events in buildings like this across the country. 143 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: They cost about three hundred thousand dollars a night. We 144 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: rented this building for the same amount for the whole year. 145 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: But here's how amazing God is. Seven years into the lease, 146 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: the mayor called said that the city was behind on 147 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: tax revenue. Ask if we wanted to purchase the building. 148 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: We always wanted to buy it, but the lease was 149 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: the best way to get the facility at the time. 150 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: I said, yes, Mayor, we'd love to purchase it, but 151 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: it depends on how much it is. She said, let 152 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: us run an appraisal and we'll make you a good deal. 153 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: We had a thirty year lease with an option for 154 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: an additional thirty years, so they had to appraise the 155 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: building based on the fact that we could be in 156 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: it for sixty years. The appraisal came back, not at 157 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: three hundred million what the building is worth, not at 158 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: one hundred million, not at fifty, not at twenty five. 159 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: They said, we'll sell it to you for seven million dollars. 160 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 2: The land is worth many times that amount. What was that? 161 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: A transfer? 162 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: God putting resources into the hands of the righteous. See 163 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: in my twenties, I had season tickets to watch the 164 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: Rockets play basketball here right back there in section one 165 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: oh four. I never dreamed one day we would own 166 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: the Compact Center. God has these transfers in your future 167 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: that are going to boggle your mind, things you never imagined. 168 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: Resources influence favor. 169 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: The key is is your heart to build the kingdom, 170 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: to help others, to take your family to a new level. 171 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: If it's just for me to build my ego to 172 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: show off what I have, if I'm self absorbed, that's 173 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: going to limit what God will do. 174 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 2: God is looking for kingdom builders, people. 175 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: That will use the resources, the influence to be a blessing, 176 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: to accomplish your God given dreams, to support that charity, 177 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: to pay off that single mom's house, to leave your family. 178 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 2: Better than it was before. 179 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: In the scripture, Nehemiah was living in a foreign country, 180 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: working as a cupbearer. 181 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 2: For the king. He had an ordinary job. One day, 182 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: his brother came to visit him. 183 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: He told how the walls of Jerusalem, their home city, 184 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: had been torn down, gates were burned, how the city 185 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: was unprotected, the people were in danger. The scripture says 186 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: when Niemiah heard this, he wept. 187 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 2: He was heartbroken for days. He mourned. He asked God 188 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 2: to do something. 189 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: God put a dream in his heart to go back 190 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: home and rebuild those walls. Well, that seemed impossible. He 191 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: was living a thousand miles away. He didn't have the funds, 192 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: the materials, the crew, the experience. But God won't give 193 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: you vision. Without provision, you may not see how the 194 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: odds are against you. But what you can't see is 195 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: there are transfers coming. Things that you couldn't make happen. 196 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: God will make happen. The king asked Nehemiah why he 197 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: was so sad. He said, it's because our people are 198 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: in danger. Our city is unprotected, the walls are down. 199 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: King could have. 200 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: Said, too bad, it's not my problem. Don't bring your 201 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: trouble to me. But the king said to Niemiah how 202 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: can I help you. 203 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: What's interesting is this. 204 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: King didn't worship Jehovah, he didn't believe in the God 205 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: of Abraham, yet he's wanting to help Nehemiah. 206 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: God will cause the right people to be good to you. 207 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: Everyone that's going to help you accomplish your dream may 208 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: not believe like you believe. 209 00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 2: They may not be living a. 210 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: Life, yet they've been positioned in your path to help 211 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: you move into your destiny. One of the main people 212 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: that helped us acquire the Compact Center was the biggest partier. 213 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: He loved to drink, to curse. He liked me, but 214 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: he would make fun of the church. A colleague asked 215 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: him to attend liquid with him. He said, no, I 216 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: don't like going to the circus. 217 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: He didn't offend me. I like the circus. My brother 218 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 2: Paul's gonna come out in the high wire in a minute. 219 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: I thought, you can make fun of all you want 220 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: as long as you keep using your influence to move 221 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: us forward. He was the big reason that we got 222 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: the building. You may be surprised at who God uses 223 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: to fund your dreams. To open that door, to put 224 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: in a good word for you, The king told Neemiah 225 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: that he could take time off, go back and rebuild 226 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: the walls. Neamiah was grateful, but he said, I don't 227 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: have any materials. I don't have any funds to buy 228 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: the wool, the stone, the rock, the mortar. The king said, 229 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: that's no problem. I'll give you a letter requiring. 230 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: People to give you what you need. 231 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: Liim I said, that's great, but it's dangerous traveling back home. 232 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if i'll make it there safely. The 233 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: king said, don't worry. I'll let all the governors know 234 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: that you're traveling through their city. They'll watch after You 235 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: should have taken the Amiah years, but he rebuilt the walls. 236 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 2: In just fifty two days. How could this happen? 237 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: This king, who didn't worship Jehovah transferred his funds, his materials. 238 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 2: His favor, his influence. 239 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: God will put dreams in your heart that you can't 240 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: accomplish on your own. 241 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 2: Don't be intimidated. God is setting you up for a transfer. 242 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: He's put the right people in your path, people that 243 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: will use their influence to thrust you ahead. You may 244 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: not have the experience, the funds, the connections, but God 245 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: does just one transfer away from seeing that dream come 246 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: to pass. One transfer and you'll pay your house off. 247 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: One transfer in your business will take off. I believe 248 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: many of you are close to seeing this happen. You 249 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't be hearing this if there wasn't a transfer on 250 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: the way. 251 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 2: Now, don't talk yourself out of it. It'll never happen 252 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 2: for me. Joel, How don't have the resources? 253 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: How don't come from a prominent position? How could I 254 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: do something great? You're right where Niemiah was. He dared 255 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: to believe, He dared to go to the king, he 256 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: dared to pray bold prayers. Don't be intimidated by the 257 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: size of your dream. God doesn't give big dreams to 258 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: small people. There is greatness in you. There are new 259 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: levels in you. There is a world changer in you. 260 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: There is a history maker in you. That's why God 261 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: puts something big in you. He knows what you're capable of. 262 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: Like with Nehemiah, he has people who will fund your dreams, 263 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: people who will use their influence to open doors, people 264 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: who will. 265 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: Go out of their way to be good to you. 266 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: It's significant that Nehemiah was weeping over what he wanted 267 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: to make better. His heart was broken over the wrongs 268 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: that he saw. This wasn't about having a big position, 269 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: being well. 270 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: Known, acquiring more. 271 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: His dream was tied to building the kingdom, helping people 272 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: rise higher, seeing his family, his relatives reach their potential. 273 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: When your heart is to make a difference, when you're 274 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: moved over that child you want to send to college, 275 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: moved over those people you want to help, moved over 276 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: those loved ones who are struggling. When your motives are right, 277 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: then you will see these transfers. God is looking for 278 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: Neemiah's people he can entrust with influence, with favor, with resources. 279 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: I received a letter from a single parent mother. She 280 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: and her family had immigrated to the United States from 281 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: Europe years ago and English wasn't her first language. She 282 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: had three small children, didn't know how she would ever 283 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: be able to send them to college. Looked like she 284 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: was at a disadvantage, foreign country alone, didn't know anyone. 285 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: She applied for a job as a secretary at a 286 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: prestigious university. There were dozens of people there applying for 287 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: the same position. 288 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 2: The lady in charge. 289 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: Wasn't nice to her at all. She was very harsh 290 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: and condescending. All the applicants had to take a five 291 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: minute typing test. She was not a great typist. She 292 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: started typing, doing her best. Five minutes later, the bell 293 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: went off. She stopped, but the lady in charge had 294 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: gotten distracted answering a phone call. 295 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 2: She told this mother to keep typing. That's not your. 296 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: Bell, it was her bell. It was right in front 297 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: of her. Said okay, and type for another five minutes. 298 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: They added up the number of words she had typed 299 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: ten minutes worth and divided it by five, and she 300 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: by far had the best typing skills and ended up 301 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: getting the job. One of the benefits of working for 302 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: the university is that your children can attend school for free. 303 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 2: That was over thirty years ago. 304 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: Now all three of her children have graduated from this 305 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: prestigious university, over seven hundred thousand dollars in free education. 306 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: God knows how to trendsfer what you need. You may 307 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: be limited, but He's not limited. When people are not 308 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 1: treating you right, not doing what's fair, don't get discouraged. 309 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 2: They don't have the final say God does. 310 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: What's interesting is this lady that was so condescending, not helpful, 311 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: Now she works for this single mother. She used to 312 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: have the authority now it was transferred to this mother. 313 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: God is keeping the records. He sees who tried to 314 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: stop you, who played politics, held you down, who walked away. 315 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: They may have the upper hand, but your time is coming. 316 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: Stay on the high road. Let God fight those battles. 317 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: No person, group, no boss can stop what God has 318 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: ordained for you. In the scripture, Ruth was out working 319 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: in the fields. She was a widow at a young age. 320 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: Her husband had died and she was picking up leftover grain, 321 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: barely making it. That's how she and her mother in law, 322 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: Naomi survived. Ruth had a heart after God. She could 323 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: have been bitter, had a chip on her shoulder, but 324 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: instead she was taking care of Naomi. She'd get up 325 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 1: early every morning and go find the food that they needed. 326 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: It looked like she would always struggle. 327 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: Life had been unfair, bad break, husband's gone, her dreams 328 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: were shattered. She never imagined she would be at this 329 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: place in life. But God sees what you've been through, 330 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: He sees what wasn't fair, how you've been dealt a 331 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: tough hand. If you'll stay in faith, he'll make. 332 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 2: It up to you. 333 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: You're not limited by what's happened to you. What you 334 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: didn't get, who wasn't there for you. You may be 335 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: at a disadvantage, but God is not at a disadvantage. 336 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: He controls the universe. One day, the man that owned 337 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: all those fields, one of the wealthiest men in that area. 338 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: His name was Boaz. He saw Ruth and they fell 339 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: in love. Eventually they were married. Now, instead of working 340 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: in the field, Ruth owned the field. She never had 341 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: to pick up leftover grain again. A transfer took place. 342 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: Suddenly she had more than she ever dreamed. 343 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: Like Ruth, many of you have been faithful. 344 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: You've done the right thing when it was hard. You 345 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: didn't complain. You had a bad break, but you didn't 346 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: get bitter. You've been overlooked, but you kept being your best. 347 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: I believe you're about to see a shift. God's about 348 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: to transfer some things. It's going to be unusual, out 349 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: of the ordinary. The right people, the Boaz, are going 350 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: to notice you. New doors are going to open some 351 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: suddenly promotion opportunity, houses that you didn't build, vineyards that 352 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: you didn't plan. When Ruth was out in the fields, 353 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: she didn't see Boaz. She didn't know who he was, 354 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: but Boaz saw her. The right people are seeing you. 355 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: God is arranging things in your favor, ordering your steps. 356 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 2: Don't believe those lives that you're stuck. You're limited. 357 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: You've seen others blessed, successful, good relationships, but that'll never 358 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: be You know, a transfer is coming, a shift, something 359 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 1: that catapults you to a new level. When we acquired 360 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: the Compact Center, it wasn't just a transfer of resources, 361 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: It was a transfer of influence. This one good break 362 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: put us fifty years down the road in respect, in credibility. 363 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: Several years before we moved in here, I would see 364 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: certain people at our children's school events. I would politely 365 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: say hello, but some of them wouldn't give me the 366 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: time of day. They saw me come and they would 367 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: turn and look the other way. They saw me as 368 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: second class. I came from that church on the other 369 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: side of town. We didn't have a good location, prestigious address, 370 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: a fancy building. In their mind, we were not up 371 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: to par. But when we moved into this place, the 372 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: Compact Center, it was a different story. Now people that 373 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: never paid any attention to me would come up and 374 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: be so friendly. One lady, she had never acknowledged me. 375 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: If I walked up, she acted like I didn't exist. 376 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 2: Now she was my best friend. She brought other people over. 377 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 2: This is Joel. 378 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: He pastors the church in the Compact center. One day 379 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: she said, Joel, I want to come to your service. 380 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 2: Can you save me a seat? I said, sure I can. 381 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 2: I did, right up there by the flag, and. 382 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: God knows I saved you a good seat. God knows 383 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: how to make you be seen in a different light. 384 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: He's going to transfer influence, honor, prestige. You don't have 385 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: to manipulate things, play up to people, try to convince 386 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: him to respect you. Let God do it his way. 387 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: This is what Joseph did. He was in prison. He'd 388 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: been betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery. This lady 389 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: lied about it. Now he was sitting in his cell. 390 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: He had no influence, no resources, no future to speak of. 391 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: But one night, the pharaoh had a dream that he 392 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: didn't understand. 393 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 2: The butler remembered when he. 394 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: Was in prison with Joseph that Joseph could interpret dreams. 395 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: He told the pharaoh what Joseph interpreted the pharaoh's dream. Overnight, 396 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: he made Joseph second in. 397 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 2: Command of all of Egypt. 398 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: Joseph went from no influence to the highest influence. The 399 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: pharaoh said nothing will be done in this country without 400 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: Joseph signing off. He went from no resources to being 401 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: in charge of all the food. 402 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 2: Supply of Egypt. 403 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: When his brothers and family eventually came to see him, 404 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: over seventy people, Joseph had a place for all of 405 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: them to live, land they could farm, and abundant life. 406 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: What happened a transfer. Don't judge where you are as 407 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: where you're going to stay. God has some transfers for you, 408 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: Transfers of influence, transfers of resources, houses that you didn't build, 409 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: promotion that you didn't work for Now. This transfer requires obedience, 410 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: honoring God, doing the right thing when it's hard. There 411 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: will be seasons, like with Joseph, that it's not fair. 412 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: Nothing is changing. People that don't honor God are passing 413 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: you by. Don't be discouraged. Your time is coming. It's 414 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: going to happen suddenly out of the ordinary. You couldn't 415 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: have made it happen. It's the hand of God. 416 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 2: What's significant With all. 417 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: Three of these people, Neemiah, Joseph, and Ruth, none of 418 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,479 Speaker 1: their circumstances look like they were about to change. 419 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 2: Joseph was sitting in prison. 420 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: You're telling me he's about to be the prime minister 421 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: of this powerful nation. I don't think so. Ruth was 422 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: in the fields picking up grain. You're saying she's about 423 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: to own this field. I don't see how Neemiah. 424 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 2: Was a bus boy working in the kitchen. You mean 425 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 2: he's going to. 426 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. I think you have the 427 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: wrong person. When you look at your situation, everything may 428 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: say there's no way you'll accomplish your dream, no way 429 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: you own your company, no way you'll get out of 430 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: this problem, no way you'll meet the right person. 431 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 2: You're right where they were. 432 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: The good news is one transfer, one shift, and you'll 433 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: have the resources, influence, opportunity that you've never seen. Don't 434 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: talk yourself out of it. Don't live with a scarcity mentality. 435 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: You have to give God permission to bless you. Quit 436 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: believe in those lies that you don't deserve it. You 437 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: come from the wrong family, You're not that talented. You've 438 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 1: reached your limits. God needs you to build his kingdom. 439 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: He's counting on you to make the world a better place. 440 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: He's destined you to take your family where they've never been. 441 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 2: He wants to entrust you. 442 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: With resources and influence that you've never imagined. Be faithful 443 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: where you are, honor God with what you have. He's 444 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: looking for Josephs, people that keep doing. 445 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 2: The right thing when it's hard. 446 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: He's looking for Nehemiah's people that have a passion to 447 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: build his kingdom. He's looking for ruth people that don't 448 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: let bad breaks cause them to live better. I believe 449 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: that's you, because you've been faithful, because you have the 450 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: right motives. God is about to show out in your life. 451 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: Others that haven't honored God seem like they've passed you up. 452 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: They've gotten good breaks gone further. There's about to be 453 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 1: a shift. God is going to put resources into the 454 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: hands of the righteous. 455 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 2: Influence is gonna shift. 456 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: You were in the background, Now you're in the foreground. 457 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: You were struggling to get by. Now you have abundance. 458 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: You thought you'd reach your limits, but suddenly you're thrust 459 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: to a new level. 460 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 2: I believe and declare a transfer is coming for you. 461 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: Like Nehemiah, You're gonna accompass dreams bigger than. 462 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 2: You thought possible. 463 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: Like Joseph, You're gonna handle resources you've never imagined like Ruth. 464 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: You're gonna go from working in the field to the 465 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: field in Jesus's name. 466 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 2: If you receive it, Can you say amen? 467 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 468 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 1: the Lord of your life. 469 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: Would you pray with me?

I am what it says. I am, 479 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. 480 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 2: I can do this. 481 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: As the first Bible that my parents gave me I 482 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: was six years old, they taught me the importance of 483 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: believing what God says about you and letting that. 484 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 3: Determine your self image. 485 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: Now, how through the Scripture you can learn to handle 486 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: challenges and pursue your dreams. 487 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 3: Some people tell me. 488 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: That the Bible's not practical for them. 489 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 3: How they don't understand it. 490 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: We've created a new resource called how to Read Your 491 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: Bible and Enjoy It.
