45
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 5: I'd like to show with something funny and I heard

46
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 5: about this young man.

47
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 4: He was a huge football fan.

48
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 5: He bought two tickets to the Super Bowl months ahead

49
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 5: of time, not realizing it was going to be on

50
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 5: the same day as his wedding. He paid a couple

51
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 5: thousand dollars each for the tickets, so he put an

52
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 5: ad on Facebook, seeing if anyone wanted to go in

53
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 5: his place. He said, it will be at three o'clock

54
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 5: at First Baptist Church and her name is Tiffany.

55
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 7: He better get in counseling right now.

56
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: But here we go.

57
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 5: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

58
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do

59
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be

60
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind

61
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive.

62
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

63
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

64
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 4: stir it up.

65
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 5: When I was growing up, we had a fireplace at home,

66
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 5: and I would go get the logs to make the fire.

67
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 5: My father showed me how if I'd put those logs

68
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 5: just right, a little bit vertical, the fire would burn

69
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 5: so strong and last a long time.

70
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 4: Overnight.

71
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 5: We would close the metal grate and the fire would

72
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 5: wind down. When I would get up the next morning,

73
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 5: all that was left were some ashes and a few

74
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 5: remnants of the logs. I would go get more wood,

75
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 5: but I discovered something. I didn't have to get a

76
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 5: new match to relight the fire. Underneath those ashes, there

77
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 5: were embers that were still burning. All I had to

78
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 5: do was get the poker out and stir it up,

79
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 5: and the fire would come back to life. In a

80
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 5: few minutes. It would be burning as strong as can be. Now,

81
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 5: it may look like some things have gone out in

82
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 5: your life. Dreams that didn't work out, promises that you

83
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 5: were believing for that didn't come to pass.

84
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 4: You think it's never going to happen. It's been too long.

85
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: You've accepted it wasn't meant to be. But can I

86
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 4: encourage you?

87
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 5: Underneath those ashes, there are embers that are still alive.

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 4: You may not be able to see them.

89
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 5: They're buried under disappointments, under delays, people that did you wrong,

90
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 5: mistakes that you made. But somewhere underneath all those.

91
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 4: Ashes, a flame is still burning. All you have to

92
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 4: do is stir it up.

93
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 5: Stir up your dreams, stir up your creativity, stir up

94
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 5: your gifts.

95
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 4: What God put in you didn't go out.

96
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 5: Jeremiah said, your word, O Lord, is like fire shut

97
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 5: up in my bones. That fire may be a little

98
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 5: flicker right now, but it's still in you. The good

99
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 5: news is the enemy can't put your fire out. Depression

100
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 5: can't put your fire out. Loss, loneliness, bad breaks can't

101
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 5: put it out. You may have gone through things that

102
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 5: were unfair, kind of knock the wind out of you.

103
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 5: You need to know that did not stop God's plan

104
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 5: for your life.

105
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: What he started he's.

106
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 5: Going to finish now. You have to do your part

107
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 5: and stir it up. You can't live with no passion,

108
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 5: no enthusiasm, just getting up, going to work, coming home,

109
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 5: doing it all again. That fire is not going to

110
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:29,119
Speaker 5: grow without you stirring it. Start dreaming again, start looking

111
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 5: for new opportunities, Start praying bold prayers, Start expecting God's favor.

112
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 5: There is greatness shut up in you. There are dreams

113
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 5: shut up in you. There are new levels. All they

114
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 5: need is to be stirred out. The scripture says you

115
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 5: will find me when you search for me with all

116
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 5: your heart, not with half your heart.

117
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 4: God was talking about passionate people.

118
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 5: People that are full of praise, people that are talking

119
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 5: like it's going to happen people that are expecting his favor.

120
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 5: But if you're passive, indifferent, lethargic, you won't reach your potential.

121
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 4: You have to have some fire in you.

122
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 5: Don't let what hasn't worked out, the disappointments, the bad

123
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 5: breaks cause you to become half hearted. Half hearted in

124
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 5: your praise, half hearted in your.

125
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 4: Marriage, half hearted.

126
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 5: It worn't what you're believing for may be taken longer

127
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 5: than you thought. That's why every day you need to

128
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 5: stir yourself up. This is not going to happen automatically.

129
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 5: You won't wake up every morning excited about life, enthusiastic

130
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 5: about your dreams. Some mornings, when we wake up, we

131
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 5: feel the blaws. Thoughts will tell you nothing good is

132
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: in your future, nothing ever works out for you. You

133
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 5: can either believe those lies, drag through the day. One

134
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 5: day will turn into a month, a month will turn

135
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 5: into a year, or you can make a decision like David,

136
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 5: when you get out of bed, this is another day

137
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 5: that the Lord has made. I'm going to rejoice, I'm

138
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 5: going to be glad, I'm gonna enjoy this day. You

139
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 5: know what David was doing stirring himself up. He was

140
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 5: fanning that flame, making sure the fire kept burning. No

141
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 5: wonder he was able to outlast all kinds of opposition.

142
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 5: No wonder he overcame the rejection from his family and

143
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 5: the betrayal from King Saul and became one of the

144
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 5: heroes of faith. You know who sees dreams come to

145
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 5: pass stirred up people. You know who goes further than

146
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 5: they can imagine, People that are passionate, people that make

147
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 5: this decision.

148
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 4: Like David, to stay full of zeal.

149
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 5: What's interesting is when David wrote that passage, he wasn't

150
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 5: in a great place.

151
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: He had armies coming against him.

152
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 5: People were slandering him, trying to ruin his reputation.

153
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 4: He could have got up, comple God is not fair.

154
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 4: I'm doing the right thing.

155
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 5: Why are these people treating me so badly? I thought

156
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 5: you said I would be the king. No, David understood

157
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 5: this principle that people can't put your fire out. Bad breaks,

158
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 5: disappointments cannot stop.

159
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: What God has ordained for you.

160
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 5: And the more things that come against you, the more

161
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 5: you need to stir yourself up. The more opposition, the

162
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 5: more you need to give God praise. The longer it's taking,

163
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 5: the more you need to talk like it's on the way.

164
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 5: The worse the medical report, the more you need to

165
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 5: keep that spring in your set, that passion in your

166
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 5: spirit declaring God's fever is on your life. There are

167
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 5: embers in you right now just waiting to catch fire

168
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 5: like never before, embers of healing. That sickness looks permanent,

169
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 5: starts stirring up the healing.

170
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: Father.

171
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 5: Thank you that you're restoring health back into me. Thank

172
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 5: you that the number of my days you will fulfill.

173
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 5: Maybe you're struggling in your finances. Business is slow, it's

174
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 5: easy to get discouraged. Think that's your lot in life.

175
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 5: There are embers of increase, embers of abundance, embers of

176
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 5: opportunity just waiting to be stirred up.

177
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 4: How do you do it? Father?

178
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 5: Thank you that whatever I touch prospers and succeeds.

179
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 4: Thank You that I will lend and not borrow.

180
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 5: That I'm coming into overflow into more than enough.

181
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 4: When David went.

182
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 5: Out to face Goliath, the scripture says he ran quickly

183
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 5: toward Goliath. That's a passionate person. That's somebody that stirred up.

184
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 5: You would think he would be very careful go out there,

185
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 5: kind of slowly, maybe a little intimidated, afraid, thinking, Okay, God,

186
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 5: I'll do this, but it'll probably be the end of me.

187
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 4: No, David ran out boldly.

188
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 5: His attitude was, I can't wait to get to Goliath,

189
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 5: because the I get there, the sooner i'll defeat him.

190
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 5: When you live stirred up, you don't run from your enemies.

191
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: You run to your enemies.

192
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 5: You don't let that cancer intimidate you. Your attitude is cancer.

193
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 5: You may be big, but you're no match for me.

194
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 5: The most high God is on my side. You don't

195
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 5: run from those people at work, those people trying to

196
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 5: make you look bad. You know, God being for you

197
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 5: is more than the world being against you. You have

198
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 5: everything you need to live a victorious, abundant life. It's

199
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 5: on the inside, but it has to be stirred up.

200
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 5: That courage may be a little imber right now you

201
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 5: feel intimidated.

202
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: What you're up against looks much bigger.

203
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 5: That's the way I felt when my father went to

204
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 5: be with the Lord and I stepped up to pastor

205
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 5: the church. Every thought told me that I couldn't do it,

206
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 5: that nobody would listen, that I didn't have the talent.

207
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 5: But Instead of believing those lies, I started stirring up

208
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 5: the courage. Father, thank you that I am strong in

209
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 5: the Lord. Thank you that I could do all things

210
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 5: through Christ. Thank you that your favor surrounds me like

211
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 5: a shield. I started fanning that ember of courage, that

212
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 5: ember of confidence, that ember of talent. I didn't know

213
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 5: I could get up and speak in front of people.

214
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 5: When my father would ask me to minister years ago.

215
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 5: I used to think, that is so odd. He doesn't

216
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 5: know me very well. I wouldn't know what to say.

217
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 5: This ember was in me all that time. But for

218
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 5: seventeen years I never fanned a flame. When my father

219
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 5: went to be with the Lord, in one sense, it

220
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 5: made it worse.

221
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 4: Now there were ashes on top of this ember. I

222
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 4: didn't know how things were going to work out.

223
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 5: But down in my spirit I could hear this voice

224
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 5: telling me to step up.

225
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 4: This time.

226
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 5: Instead of shrinking back, I started fanning the flame, telling

227
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 5: myself that I was well able. I discovered there was

228
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 5: fire shut up in my bones.

229
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 4: There were gifts and talents. It was just a little flame.

230
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 5: But as I started believing I could do it, taking

231
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 5: steps of faith, tuning out the doubt, the naysayers.

232
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: That fire came alive.

233
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 5: God's taken me further than I've dreamed. But I wonder

234
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 5: what's shut up in you.

235
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 4: That you haven't tapped into. What dreams, what gifts? What healing?

236
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 5: What freedom? It's still burning. It's a little ember now.

237
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 5: It just needs you to add your passion to it,

238
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 5: to start believing, to start acting like it's going to happen,

239
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 5: to start stepping up with boldness.

240
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 4: It's easy to.

241
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 5: Come up with excuses to talk ourselves out of it, Joel.

242
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 4: I tried, but it didn't work out. Try again. That

243
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 4: didn't put your fire out.

244
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 5: The scripture says a good person falls seven times and

245
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 5: the Lord.

246
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 4: Raises him up.

247
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 5: Maybe it just wasn't the right time. Well, these people

248
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 5: did me wrong. My company pushed me out, I lost

249
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 5: my spouse.

250
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 4: I have all these ashes. I know that's painful. I

251
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 4: know it's not easy.

252
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 5: But underneath those ashes, there are embers that are still burning.

253
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 5: You may have gone through loss, but your life is

254
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 5: not over. Like God did for me, He has beauty

255
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 5: for those ashes. New doors are going to open, new

256
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 5: relationships are going to develop, New talents.

257
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 4: Are going to come out. That person that walked out

258
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 4: on you.

259
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 5: Yes, that's hurtful, but don't give up on life. They

260
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 5: didn't put your fire out. They can't stop your destiny.

261
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 5: You're going to love again. You're going to dream again,

262
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 5: You're going to laugh again. God has someone coming for

263
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 5: you much better than who left. Your latter days are

264
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 5: going to be better than your former days.

265
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 7: Now, get your passion back, fire.

266
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 5: Back those dreams you've given up on. You need to

267
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 5: get that poker out and start stirring them up, start

268
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 5: pursuing them again.

269
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 4: Those promises that you've let go of seems like it's

270
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 4: too late.

271
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 5: The expert said that you can't have a child, that

272
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 5: you won't get well, that that family member will never

273
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 5: get back. On course, those are lies to try to

274
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 5: discourage you, to keep those embers from ever catching fire.

275
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 5: The enemy knows he can't put out your flame, but

276
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 5: if he can deceive you into living with no passion,

277
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 5: no enthusiasm, dragging through the day thinking you've reached your limits,

278
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 5: then that.

279
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: Will keep you from the fullness of what God has

280
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 4: in store.

281
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 5: That's why Paul said in Romans, never lag in zeal

282
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 5: be a glow, constantly burning with the spirit. It's interesting

283
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 5: he didn't say never lag in faith, never lag in confidence,

284
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 5: never lag in experience, he said, lag in zeal. He

285
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 5: was saying, if you'll stay passionate about your dreams, passionate

286
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 5: about what God promised, you don't lag in zeal, then

287
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 5: whatever area you lag in will eventually turn around. You

288
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 5: may lag in resources, lag in good health, lag in friendships,

289
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 5: but if you'll stay a glow burning with the spirit,

290
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 5: God promises the healing is coming, the right people are coming,

291
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 5: the abundance is coming.

292
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 4: Paul said.

293
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 5: The key is to stay fired up, keep that passion

294
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 5: in your spirit because we all go through disappointments, things

295
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 5: we don't understand. You may be dealing with an illness,

296
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 5: an addiction, or a situation doesn't look like it's ever

297
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 5: going to improve. You could easily drag around discourage. No,

298
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 5: you have to dig your heels in and say, I

299
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 5: am not going to let the enemy have my joy,

300
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 5: my praise, my enthusiasm.

301
00:15:58,920 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 4: This day is.

302
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 7: A gift from God.

303
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 5: I'm gonna stay on fire, a glow burning with the spirit.

304
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 5: David said, bless the Lord, O my soul and all

305
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 5: that is within me. Not partial, not halfway. He was saying, God,

306
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 5: I'm giving you a stirred up praise, A passionate praise,

307
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 5: not a praise when everything turns around, A praise that's

308
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 5: dependent on the circumstances. Joel, I'll have a good attitude

309
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 5: when my boss starts treating me better. I'll get my

310
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 5: joy back when the Texans win again. I should leave

311
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 5: that out. I'll be more enthusiastic when my finances improved.

312
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: Now you have it backwards.

313
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 5: The stirred up praise is what causes things.

314
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 4: To turn around. Being on fire a.

315
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 5: Glow is what causes those embers to ignite. What would

316
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 5: happen if you would start blessing the Lord with all

317
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 5: that is within you, getting up in the morning, thanking

318
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 5: him for the day, going out with enthusiasm, pursuing your dreams,

319
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 5: expecting his favor, passionate about your life. Everything may not

320
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 5: be perfect. We can all find a reason to be sour.

321
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 5: This is a decision we have to make. I will

322
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 5: bless the Lord. I will have a good attitude. I

323
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 5: will be good to somebody. I will enjoy this day.

324
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 5: You can't wait till you feel like it. You have

325
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 5: to decide. That's what it means to stir it up.

326
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 5: Timothy was a young man that was being mentored by

327
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 5: the apostle Paul. Paul must have seen him start to

328
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 5: get discouraged and lose his passion, because he said to

329
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 5: him in Second Timothy one Timothy.

330
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 4: Stir up the gift of God that is within you.

331
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 5: One translation says fan the fleame. Maybe Timothy wouldn't have

332
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 5: gone on to do great things and made such an

333
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 5: impact with his life if Paul hadn't have reminded him

334
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 5: to stir it up. That's why God has you hearing this.

335
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 5: There are gifts and talents in you right now that

336
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 5: you have not yet tapped into. There are dreams, favor,

337
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 5: abundance just waiting to be stirred up.

338
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 4: You have not reached your destiny. Too often we like

339
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 4: to settle.

340
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 5: We don't like to stretch to get out of our

341
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 5: comfort zones, especially when we tried and it didn't work out.

342
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 5: God is saying to you what he said to Timothy.

343
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 5: Stir up the gifts that are in you. Stir up

344
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 5: the dreams that you've given up on. Stir up the healing,

345
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 5: the freedom that you quit believing for.

346
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 4: Start fanning that flame. Don't let what hasn't.

347
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 5: Happened talk you out of what God has in your future.

348
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 5: You may have some big obstacles, but the forces that

349
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 5: are for you are greater than the forces.

350
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 4: That are against you.

351
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 5: You and God are a majority. He's breathing in your

352
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 5: direction right now. I talked to a young lady that

353
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 5: was raised in a very unhealthy environment. Her father was

354
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 5: an alcoholic and her mother was never around.

355
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 4: At twelve years old.

356
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 5: She ended up homeless, living on the streets by herself.

357
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 5: At sixteen, she had a baby. She and her child

358
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 5: lived in a shelter. Not long after that, she was

359
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 5: diagnosed with leukemia. No insurance, nobody to help her. Didn't

360
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 5: look like she had any kind of future, no gift

361
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 5: in her. But God doesn't create anyone without putting something

362
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 5: significant on the inside. Every person has seeds of greatness.

363
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 5: That's why the enemy works overtime to try to push

364
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 5: down your gifts, bury them under abuse, neglect, sickness, is divorced.

365
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 5: The good news is the enemy can't put your fire out.

366
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 5: What God started. No person can stop You. May have

367
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 5: had some bad breaks, but the forces of darkness cannot

368
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 5: keep you from your destiny. They are not more powerful

369
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 5: than our God. The only one that can stop you

370
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 5: is you. If you give up on your dreams, if

371
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 5: you live bitter, no passion, thinking you've reached your limits,

372
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 5: you will miss the.

373
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 4: Beauty for ashes that God has.

374
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 5: You will miss him paying you back for those unfair

375
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 5: things that have happened. Nineteen years old, this young lady

376
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 5: gave her life to Christ.

377
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 4: For the first.

378
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 5: Time, she felt a sense of purpose destiny.

379
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 4: She decided to go back to school.

380
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 5: She got her ged, she went on to college and

381
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 5: got her bachelor's degree, Then she got her master's degree,

382
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: then she got her doctorate. Today she's not only cancer free,

383
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 5: but she's the vice president of a university.

384
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 4: But back when she was.

385
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 5: A homeless teenager, nobody would have believed that those gifts

386
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 5: were in her.

387
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 4: Nobody would thought there was a vice president of a

388
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 4: university in her. What am I saying?

389
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 5: Don't judge your future based on where you are right now.

390
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 5: Don't let circumstances convince you that you've seen your best days.

391
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 5: You wouldn't be alive unless God had something amazing up.

392
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 4: In front of you.

393
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 5: In the scripture of Abraham and Sarah were very old,

394
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 5: and Sarah had never had any children. I'm sure she

395
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 5: was disappointed because in those days, if the wife didn't

396
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 5: give the husband a child, they were looked down on

397
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 5: and felt a sense of shame. Now Sarah was eighty

398
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 5: years old. She had already accepted that it wasn't going

399
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 5: to happen. But in Genesis seventeen, God said to Abraham,

400
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 5: I'm going to give Sarah a son. She's going to

401
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 5: become the mother of nations. Kings of people will come

402
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 5: out of her. Sarah thought she would be bearing her

403
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 5: whole life, that her wound would always be empty. But

404
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 5: God says, Sarah, you have something in you that you

405
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 5: can't see right now, something much bigger than you've imagined.

406
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 5: And yes, you've been through disappointments, but that is not

407
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 5: how your story ends.

408
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 4: Sarah. You have kings in you. You have nations in

409
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 4: your wound. Against all odds.

410
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 5: A year later, Sarah gave birth to a son that

411
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 5: they named Isaac. There may be areas in your life,

412
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 5: like Sarah, that you've been barn You tried, you did

413
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 5: your best, but the business didn't take off, the marriage

414
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 5: didn't make it. You weren't able to break the addiction.

415
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 5: No reason for you to be passionate. No, that is

416
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 5: not how your story ends. God is saying to you

417
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 5: what he said to Sarah. There are kings in you.

418
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 5: There are things that you don't see coming. Promotion, opportunity, healing, children,

419
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 5: the right people, businesses.

420
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 4: It's not too late. You didn't miss your chance.

421
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 5: God has already planted those seeds in your spirit. If

422
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 5: you will start stirring it up, living with passion, you

423
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 5: are going to see God show.

424
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 4: Out in your life.

425
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 5: The enemy wouldn't be fighting you if he didn't know

426
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 5: there was something awesome in you. He wouldn't be trying

427
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 5: to discourage you, convince you to settle if he didn't

428
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 5: know you.

429
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 4: Were destined to rise higher. You are destined to leave

430
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 4: your mark. When Sarah first heard that she was going

431
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 4: to have a baby, she laughed.

432
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 5: She thought, that's impossible. I can't have a baby. There

433
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 5: aren't kings in me. God was talking about her seed,

434
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 5: how her children and grandchildren would do great things.

435
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 4: You don't know what God is up to.

436
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 5: The scripture says no person has seen, heard, or imagine

437
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 5: what God has in store. God is going to bring

438
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 5: things out of you that you didn't even know were

439
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 5: in you. You're going to see overflow, abundance, the surpassing

440
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 5: greatness of his favor. Now, if you're going to stay

441
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 5: stirred up, you need to get around other stirred up people.

442
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 4: Don't hang around.

443
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 5: People that drain your energy, take your enthusiasm, try to

444
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 5: talk you out of what you're believing for. And I

445
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 5: don't see how you can get Well, my grandmother.

446
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 4: Died of that same thing. I wouldn't try to start

447
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 4: that business.

448
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 5: What if it doesn't work out, you still think you're

449
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 5: going to meet someone.

450
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 4: You've been single a long time.

451
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 5: There will always be people that try to throw water

452
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 5: on your fire, tell you what you can't do, how

453
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 5: it's not going to work out, how you should settle

454
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 5: where you are.

455
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 4: They may mean.

456
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 5: Well, they may even love you, but the enemy uses

457
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 5: people to try to discourage us, to keep us from

458
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 5: our destiny. Do yourself a favor, distance yourself from them.

459
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 5: Your time is too valuable to spend it with negative people,

460
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 5: people that have no vision, no passion. You need to

461
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 5: be around people that help you stay stirn That's why

462
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 5: so many people come out to Lakewood and so many

463
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 5: people listen. Not because I'm the greatest minister, but I

464
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 5: promise you this, I'm gonna stir you up. I'm gonna

465
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 5: challenge you to go further, to reach for your dreams,

466
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 5: to believe for the impossible, to expect God's favor. I'm

467
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 5: going to remind you that you're a child of the

468
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 5: Most High God, that you have seeds of greatness, that.

469
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 4: God didn't bring you this far to leave you.

470
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 5: That what happened in your past doesn't have to stop

471
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 5: your future. That God has the final say. My question

472
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 5: for you is, are you living stirred up? Are you

473
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 5: passionate about your dreams? Are you excited about your future? Friends,

474
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 5: life is flying by. Don't waste another minute dragging through

475
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 5: the day focused on what's wrong, thinking you've reached your limits.

476
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 5: The truth is you're on the launching pad.

477
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 7: God's about to do a new thing.

478
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 5: You're about to see his favor in an unprecedented way.

479
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 7: Get ready for overflow, Get ready for new.

480
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 5: Levels, Get ready for something that you've never seen. James

481
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 5: Chapter five says, the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous

482
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 5: person makes tremendous power available. That word fervent in the

483
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 5: original language is where we get our word for energy.

484
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 5: It suggests the idea of energizing, like electricity, energizes a circuit.

485
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 5: You can plug a lamp into an outlet, but if

486
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 5: the power's not on, doesn't do any good. This says

487
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 5: the effectual fervent prayer, not a passive prayer, not a

488
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 5: weak lethargic prayer. Will you say the same thing over

489
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 5: and over? No passion, But when you pray a stirred

490
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 5: up prayer, a passionate prayer, a bold prayer that makes

491
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 5: tremendous power available.

492
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 4: Well, God, I know I don't deserve much. I made

493
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 4: a lot of mistakes. But if you want to help me,

494
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 4: you can.

495
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 5: That's not energizing the circuits, so to speak. Depressing prayers

496
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 5: don't bring any power. The prayer that's effective is a fervent, passionate, bold,

497
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 5: faith filled prayer. Father, Thank you that you're opening doors

498
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 5: that no man can shut. Thank you that you're taking

499
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 5: me where I can't go on my own. Think you

500
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 5: that I'm coming into a year of overflowd gon't pray

501
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 5: depressing prayers. God, my back's been hurting so bad. These

502
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 5: children are getting on my nerves. I don't think I

503
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 5: can take it anymore.

504
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,479
Speaker 4: That's not activating any power.

505
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 5: Turn it around, Father, Thank you that you're fighting my battles.

506
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 5: Thank You that no weapon formed against me will prosper.

507
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 5: That is for me and my house.

508
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 4: We will serve the Lord. You have to.

509
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 5: Show God that you want what you're praying about.

510
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 4: There has to be some fervor, some zeal, some enthusiasm.

511
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 5: If you're not passionate about it, it's not an effective prayer.

512
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 4: I'm asking you to stir it up. Stir up what

513
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 4: you're praying about. Stir up your dreams, stir up your gifts.

514
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 5: God has put incredible potential on the inside. It may

515
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 5: just be a little ember now, but as you keep

516
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 5: stirring it up, I believe and declare, like Sarah, greatness

517
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 5: is going to come out of you. New doors are

518
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 5: about to open. Negative situations are turning around, healing breakthroughs.

519
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 5: Favor the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, and

520
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 5: if you.

521
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 4: Receive it, can you say him in Today?

522
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 5: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus.

523
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 4: The lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

524
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 5: Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent of my sins.

525
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 4: Come into my heart. I make you my lord and savior.

526
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 5: Friends, if you pray that simple prayer, we believe you

527
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:02,440

00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:49,560

564
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,600

565
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 10: the stable boy became a stable man in from to

566

Speaker 10: to Amazon books that reading feeling awaits
