Thanks again for coming out today. I'd like 14 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: to start with something funny each week. And I heard 15 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 2: about this elderly preacher. 16 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: He was dying. 17 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 2: He sent word for two of his members, an ours 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,319 Speaker 2: agent and a lawyer to come to his house. When 19 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: they got there, he motioned with his hands to sit 20 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: on each side the bed. The men were very moved 21 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 2: that they could be there during his final moments. The 22 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 2: law you finally spoke up and said, sir, what made 23 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: you choose both of us? The minister mustered up some 24 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 2: strength and said Jesus died between two sinners, and. 25 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: That's the way I want to go. 26 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: Hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it. 27 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 28 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do 29 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be 30 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 31 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 32 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus's name, God bless you. I want 33 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,279 Speaker 2: to talk to you today about the anointing of ease. 34 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: We all go through seasons that are more difficult than others, 35 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: seasons where we're working hard but not making much progress. 36 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: Maybe in a relationship, you're doing your best, but it 37 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: still seems stagnant. There are seasons in our finances where 38 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: it's one struggle after another. We take one step forward, 39 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: it seems like two steps backwards, and if we're not careful, 40 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: we'll lose our enthusiasm and think this is just the 41 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: way life is. I'm always going to struggle in my marriage, Joel, 42 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: I'm always going to struggle raising this child. 43 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: Life is just hard. 44 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: And yes, there are seasons that we have to stand 45 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: strong and do the right thing, even though it's difficult, 46 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: but don't make the mistake of settling there and thinking 47 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: that's the way it's always going to be. Jesus said, 48 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. There's 49 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: something called the anointing of ease. When you step into 50 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: this anointing, what was difficult, all of a sudden becomes easy. 51 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: Things you used to. 52 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: Struggle with are not a struggle anymore. There's a supernatural grace, 53 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: a favor that lightens the load and takes the pressure off. 54 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: A gentleman told how he had struggled in his business 55 00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 2: month after month. 56 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: It was very slow, and he had. 57 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: Been tracking every lead and beating down every door with 58 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: no success. Looked like it would go under, look like 59 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: he wouldn't survive. But at the last minute, this new 60 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 2: client called him. This company actually searched him out. Today 61 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: they're his biggest account. Things have totally turned around. He's 62 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: having a banner year in spite of the economy. What 63 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: happened he stepped in to that anointing of ease. What 64 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: he couldn't make happen on his own, God made happen 65 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: for him. That one good break took all the pressure off. 66 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: Some of you just like him. You have struggled in 67 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: an area year after year. But I want to announce 68 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: today you're about to come in to your anointing of ease. 69 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: God has promised he will go before you and make 70 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: your crooked places straight. That means he's gonna smooth things out. 71 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: He's gonna make your life easier. You're coming into a 72 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: season where things are going to start falling into place. 73 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: You're gonna get breaks that you didn't deserve, Problems that 74 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: you've struggled with for years, all of a sudden, are 75 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,119 Speaker 2: going to resolve. Those promises you've been standing on. You're 76 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: going to see them begin to come to pass. You 77 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,559 Speaker 2: need to get ready, get your fire back. You're coming 78 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: into a new season. Maybe it's in your finances. You've 79 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: struggled for a long time. Let me just declare it. 80 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 2: You're going to see supernatural increase, supernatural opportunities, supernatural promotion. 81 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: The economy is not your source. God is your source. 82 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 2: He is going to open up doors that no person 83 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: can shut. He is going to show up and show 84 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 2: out in your life in unusual ways and what could 85 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 2: have taken you a lifetime to accomplish because of His favor, 86 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 2: his blessing His goodness is going to happen in a 87 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: much shorter period of time. You're going to look back 88 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 2: in amazement and say, how did I get to where 89 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: I am? God has been good to me. He has 90 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 2: outdone himself in my life. That's the anointing of ease. 91 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: I talked to a lady that was having difficulty raising 92 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: her child. It was one struggle after another, and she said, Joel, 93 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 2: I'm so frustrated. I don't think we'll ever get along now. 94 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: I told her what I'm telling you. God is about 95 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: to reward your faithfulness. You have sown all those seeds 96 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: you have planted, you have watered. Now you're about to 97 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 2: come into harvest. That situation is going to turn around, 98 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 2: not to where you just don't argue anymore, but to 99 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: where you're actually friends, where you enjoy each other's company. 100 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: It's going to be a new season. I want you 101 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 2: to get your hopes up today. There are so many 102 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: things trying to pull us down. Every time you turn around. 103 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: We're being bombarded with bad news from every direction. And 104 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: I realize that life can be difficult. I'm not saying 105 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: that if you stay in faith, you'll never have a 106 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 2: problem but there is a peace that God can give 107 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: you in the midst of the challenge to where you 108 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: say I should be upset, I should be losing sleep 109 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 2: at night. But I'm not the least bit worried. I 110 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: know God is still on the throne. I know he's 111 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: working this out for my good. He has given me 112 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: the grace to handle anything that comes my way. And 113 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 2: I am not a victim of the bad economy. I'm 114 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: not a victim of this sickness. I'm not a victim 115 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 2: of how I was raised, a victim of somebody else's 116 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: bad choice. I am a victor and never a victim. 117 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: When you step into this anointing of ease, you don't 118 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: drag around, discourage, despondent. 119 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: You're in faith, hope, and believe and expecting. 120 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: That's when God will show up and make your crooked 121 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 2: places straight. That's when you'll look up and say, you 122 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: know what, I don't struggle in this area anymore. God 123 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: took the pressure off. Things are starting to fall into place. 124 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 2: You may not be there just yet, but every day 125 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,239 Speaker 2: you need to say, Father, thank you that I'm coming 126 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: into that anointing of ease. Thank you that you're fighting 127 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 2: my battles for me, making my rough places smooth, giving 128 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: me the desires of my heart. This is what David did. 129 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 2: He declared it in Psalm twenty three, verse five. God 130 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: anoints my head with oil. You know what oil does. 131 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 2: It makes things flow. Whenever there's friction, something gets stuck, 132 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: you put oil on it to lubricate it, to make 133 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: it more fluid. That's what God is doing for each 134 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: one of you. 135 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: He anoints your head with oil. When he does that, 136 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: notice what happens. 137 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: David said, Because God annoints me, because I walk in 138 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: his favor, surely goodness and mercy will follow me everywhere 139 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: I go. That means things are gonna be easier. People 140 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: are gonna go out of their way to be good 141 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: to you for no reason. You're gonna have creativity, wisdom, 142 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: good ideas. You don't even know where it came from. 143 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 2: It's because of the oil God put on your life. 144 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: It represents his annoying. 145 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: When you're all oiled up, somebody offends you, it's no 146 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: big deal. 147 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: It can't stick. It flows right off. 148 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: That oil will help you to flow through the traffic 149 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: without getting upset. Remember that when you leave today, God's 150 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: annoying on your life, will cause the right doors to open, 151 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 2: It will bring the right people across your path. 152 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: It will make things go smoother. 153 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: Every morning, before you leave the house, just like sometimes 154 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: you put on sunscreen, you need to put on the 155 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 2: oil of God's goodness. Just say, Father, thank you for 156 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: your favor in my life today. Thank you for causing 157 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 2: me to be at the right place at the right time. 158 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: Thank you for your wisdom to make good decisions, your 159 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: grace to handle any challenge, your strength to overcome any adversity, 160 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: and your faith to believe for big things. When you 161 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,599 Speaker 2: get in agreement with God like that, you start declaring 162 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: his favor his promises over your life life, then you 163 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 2: won't drag through the day down and defeate it. You 164 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 2: won't always be getting the short end of the stick. 165 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: It says your cup will run over. That means instead 166 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 2: of always being worn out, you'll run over with energy, 167 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 2: run over with good ideas, run over with divine health, 168 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 2: run over in your finances, run over with joy. You 169 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: will run over with God's blessings and favor. I believe 170 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 2: today I am looking at running over people. The other 171 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: day I was leaving a hotel early in the morning, 172 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 2: and I was traveling by myself that day. I usually 173 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 2: travel with the team, but I was all alone, and 174 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 2: I had a whole lot of luggage to carry. I 175 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 2: was pulling a bag, and I had my suit bag, 176 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 2: and I had a folder under my arm, plus I 177 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: had my computer bag. And I just walked out of 178 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: the hotel room headed down the hall, and I was 179 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 2: making it okay, but. 180 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: It was a little bit of a struggle to carry 181 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: all that. 182 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: And about fifteen or twenty steps down the way, a 183 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 2: young man came up out of nowhere. He worked there, 184 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: and he said, sir, let me get that for you. 185 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 2: He didn't take part of it, he took all of it. 186 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: He would let me carry one bag. We got up 187 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 2: about fifty feet to the elevators, and it was very crowded. 188 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: It looked like a convention had just let out. 189 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 2: He said, follow me. He took me to a service elevator. 190 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 2: We didn't have to wait one minute. I got to 191 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: the airport and the line for security was very long, 192 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 2: looked like it could. 193 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: Easily take twenty or thirty minutes. 194 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 2: And I was standing there just minding my own business, 195 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 2: and this gentleman came up wearing a badge, and he 196 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 2: said follow me. I didn't know if I was in 197 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 2: trouble or if this was the favor of God. He 198 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 2: took my bags through security for me. He called a 199 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 2: cart and drove me to my gate himself. I never 200 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: asked him to do it, didn't even know who he was. 201 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: I got home later that evening, sat down in my 202 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: favorite green chair. About that time, Victoria bought my dinner 203 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: on a tray. I knew at that moment the day 204 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 2: of miracles was not over. 205 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: What was that? 206 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: The anoying of ease, God going before me, making crooked 207 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 2: places straight, causing people to wanna be good to me. 208 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: I know some people say, oh, Joel, God's got bigger 209 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 2: things to deal with than me getting. 210 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: Through the airport. 211 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: He's got bigger things to deal with than somebody helping 212 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 2: me with my luggage or. 213 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: Me getting a good parking spot. She don't understand. You 214 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: are God's biggest deal. You are the apple of his eye. 215 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: You aren't his most prized possession. Don't tell anybody, but 216 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: you are God's favorite child. 217 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: The other day, our daughter Alexandra came up to me. 218 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 2: She's ten years old now, and she said, Dad, can 219 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 2: I have ten dollars to go to the movies. I said, yes, 220 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 2: get it off my dresser in the closet. She said 221 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: thanks and went in the other direction. I said, aren't 222 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: you going to get it? She smiled and said I 223 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: already did. She said, I knew you would say yes, 224 00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: and that made me glad. 225 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: I thought, I like her confidence. 226 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 2: I love the fact that she knows I want to 227 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 2: be good to her. You may not realize it, but 228 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 2: God has already said yes to his promises. You don't 229 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 2: have to beg God to be good to you. You 230 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 2: don't have to beg God to help you. God wants 231 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 2: to help you. The scripture says, all of his promises 232 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 2: are yes and Amen. You need to go out every 233 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 2: day knowing that God wants to help you driving through 234 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 2: the traffic. 235 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: He wants to help you, shopping at. 236 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: The grocery store, raising your children, dealing with that problem 237 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 2: at work. Start thanking Him every day for that anointing 238 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 2: of ease. I think about a young lady in the scripture. 239 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 2: Her name was Ruth. She'd had a very difficult life. 240 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 2: Her husband and brother in law were killed on the 241 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 2: same day in a battle. Ruth was discouraged forlorn, upset, 242 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 2: didn't look like she had much of a future. She 243 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 2: moved to another country with her mother in law, Naomi. 244 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 2: Now she was a stranger in a foreign land. She 245 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 2: was seen there as second class. She wasn't really accepted. 246 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 2: They had no food, no money. Every day was a 247 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 2: struggle to survive. Ruth could have easily gotten bitter, gotten discouraged, 248 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: and thought life is not fair. This is so difficult. God, 249 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 2: why did this happen to me? No, there was something 250 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: different about Ruth. She knew that God was still in control. 251 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 2: She knew, like little Alexandra, that her heavenly father had 252 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 2: already said yes, there was still something. 253 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: Great in her future. 254 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: And every morning Ruth would go out into the fields 255 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 2: and pick up the leftover wheat that the reapers had missed. 256 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 2: This is how she and Naomi survived off the leftovers. 257 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 2: It was a constant struggle. But one day the owner 258 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 2: of that field, his name was Boaz. He was the 259 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 2: wealthiest man in the area. He noticed Ruth. He didn't 260 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 2: really know much about her, but for so reason he 261 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 2: had a desire to be good to her. He told 262 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: his workers to leave handfuls of wheat on purpose for Ruth. 263 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 2: The next morning when she went out, Ruth had more. 264 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: Wheat than she could handle. It wasn't a struggle anymore. 265 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: I can imagine. 266 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 2: Naomi said, Ruth, how did you get back so quickly today? 267 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: And where did you get all this wheat? 268 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 2: Ruth said, I don't know. It was just laying in 269 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: my path. I just stumbled across it. What happened Ruth 270 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 2: stepped in to that anointing of ease. She began to 271 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 2: get unusual blessings. This was favor that she didn't really 272 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: have to work for, favor that she didn't necessarily deserve. 273 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 2: Just like Ruth, in your future, God has left you 274 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: handfuls on purpose. He's already spoken to the right people 275 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: to bless you. He's already talked to your bow as is. 276 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: You don't have to worry. 277 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: Your life is not going to be a constant struggle. Yes, 278 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: there are that are difficult, but don't you dare settle there. 279 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: God has already lined up in your future the right breaks, 280 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: the right opportunities, the right people. That winter season will 281 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 2: come to an end and give way to springtime. 282 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: One thing I. 283 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: Love about God is he likes to outdo himself. He 284 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: didn't just meet Ruth's needs. He didn't just make her 285 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: life easier. He did more than she could even ask 286 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: or think. Bo Az, the man that was in charge 287 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: of it all. One day he and Ruth fell in love. 288 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: They ended up getting married. 289 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 2: Now, instead of working in the field, Ruth owned the field. 290 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: Instead of going out each day getting the leftovers, she 291 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: had somebody bringing her wheat. In other words, she had 292 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 2: breakfast in bed. 293 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: And you too. 294 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 2: If you'll stay in faith and just keep being your 295 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: best each day, you're gonna come across your handfuls on purpose, 296 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 2: you gonna look back and say, Wow, God's been good 297 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 2: to me. I never dreamed I go from working at 298 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: this business to owning my own business. I never dreamed 299 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: I'd go from teaching at this school to. 300 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: Run in this school. I never dreamed I'd. 301 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 2: Go from being behind the camera to being in front 302 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 2: of the camera. 303 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: What was that a handful on purpose left. 304 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 2: There by the creator of the universe. I remember one 305 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: time I was in a difficult situation. I didn't know 306 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: how it was going to resolve, and I was in 307 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 2: another city, far away from home, and I really needed 308 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 2: some advice. So I called a friend of mine. He said, Joe, 309 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 2: you really need to talk to one of my associates. 310 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 2: He's an expert in this field. He'll be able to 311 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 2: help you. But he's out of town for two weeks. Well, 312 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 2: I didn't have two weeks. That was like a lifetime 313 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 2: to me. He asked me where I was, and I 314 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 2: told him. He said, you've got to be kidding. That 315 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: man just left two or three hours ago, and that's 316 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 2: exactly where he's heading. When he gave me the address, 317 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 2: I found he was going to be less than two 318 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 2: miles from where I was staying. When I heard that, 319 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 2: I knew God was still on the throne. I knew 320 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 2: that was a handful on purpose. Here. We were both 321 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 2: thousands of miles from home. We could be anywhere in 322 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: the world. What are the chances that we'd end up 323 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 2: less than five minutes from each other? 324 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: What am I saying? 325 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 2: God is directing every one of your steps. He has 326 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 2: already lined up solutions to your problems. 327 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: He has lined up the breaks that you need. 328 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 2: I want you to go out each day knowing that 329 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 2: there is favor in your future. There is restoration in 330 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 2: your future, there is healing in your future. There are 331 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 2: good breaks right up ahead of you. You single people, 332 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 2: don't get discouraged. God has another bo Az out there. 333 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 2: He has the right person He's going to bring across 334 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 2: your path at just the right time. Well, you say, Joel, 335 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 2: I've had a lot of disappointments. I got laid off, 336 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 2: or my relationship didn't work out, or I started a 337 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 2: business that didn't make it, and now I'm just trying 338 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 2: to survive, exactly the way Ruth failed. All the odds 339 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: were against her, life had treated her unfair. But if 340 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 2: Ruth were standing before you today, she would look you 341 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 2: in the eyes and say, keep pressing forward. God has 342 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 2: another victory in your future. You don't know the handfuls 343 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 2: on purpose that are right up ahead of you. Friends, 344 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 2: God is gonna take you places you've never even dreamed of. 345 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 2: You are gonna accomplish goals that you never thought possible. 346 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 2: You're gonna overcome obstacles that looked insurmountable. You may get 347 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 2: knocked down every once in a while, but you will 348 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 2: never get knocked out. You are a child of the 349 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 2: most High God. He has you in the palm of 350 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 2: his hands. 351 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: Right now. I believe God. 352 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 2: Is breathing new hope into your dreams. He's breathing new 353 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 2: life into your heart. He's breathing a bigger vision into 354 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 2: your spirit. One scripture says, it's not by our might, 355 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 2: it's not by power, but it's by the breath of 356 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 2: Almighty God. And as God breathes on your life, things 357 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 2: are gonna get easier. Negative situations are going to turn around. 358 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 2: You're gonna have wisdom beyond your years. You're gonna have 359 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: a resolve that will not give up, an attitude that 360 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: refuses to quit. Why is that God's breathing on your life. 361 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 2: He's making things easier everywhere you go. You need to 362 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 2: imagine the most powerful force in the universe is blowing 363 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 2: in your direction. I believe some of you, even this week, 364 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 2: you're gonna come across one of those handfuls on purpose. 365 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: You're gonna sell property that you haven't been able to sell. 366 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: Somebody's gonna offer you a position, a new opportunity that's 367 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 2: further greater than you ever dreamed of, or somebody for 368 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: no reason. 369 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna go out of their way to be good 370 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: to you. What was it? A handful on purpose God 371 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: breathing in your direction. 372 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 2: I talk to a single parent mom just recent She 373 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 2: told how it was such a struggle to make ends meet, 374 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 2: and she was having to work long hours, and she 375 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 2: felt bad that she couldn't be there with her children. 376 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 2: On top of that, she had no free time for herself, 377 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 2: no time to date or have any kind of social life, 378 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 2: and as far as she could see, that's the way 379 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,239 Speaker 2: it would always be. She didn't see a sign of 380 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 2: anything changing. But what she couldn't see was right up 381 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 2: around the corner was a handful on purpose left there 382 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 2: by the creator of the universe. The reason some people 383 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 2: never experienced them is because they quit pressing forward. 384 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: They're always looking back, wondering why. 385 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 2: Something happened, and why somebody left, and why they didn't 386 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 2: get that break or shake that off. Get up every morning, 387 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 2: put your oil on. Thank God for his favor, think 388 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 2: him that he's directing your steps. That's what this young 389 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 2: lady began to do. And one day a couple that 390 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 2: lived down the street, she barely even knew them. 391 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: They bought her a brand new car. 392 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 2: She was able to sell her old car, pay off 393 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: some debts. Now she doesn't have to work those long hours. 394 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 2: That one gift took the pressure off, she said, Joel, 395 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 2: It's just like a load has been lifted off of me. 396 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: What was that? A handful on purpose? 397 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 2: God causing people to make her life easier. And some 398 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 2: of you are living so worried and so stressed about 399 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: your future. You need to come back to that place 400 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 2: of peace. When you're in peace, it's a position of power. 401 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 2: You're saying, God, I trust you. Like Ruth, I may 402 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 2: not see away, but I know you still have a way. 403 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go out each day being my best, 404 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 2: being productive at work, being a blessing to somebody else, 405 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 2: not looking back, regretting the past. But I'm pressing forward 406 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 2: in faith. When you do that, you might as well 407 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 2: get ready. You're gonna come across your handfuls on purpose. 408 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 2: I read a story about this little eight year old girl. 409 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 2: She overheard her parents talking about how her little brother 410 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 2: he was very sick and in desperate need of an operation. 411 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: They had spent. 412 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 2: All their fund, so much so they had to move 413 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 2: out of their house into a small apartment. The dad 414 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 2: told the mom the only thing that will save him 415 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 2: now is a miracle. The little girl got her piggy 416 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 2: bank and emptied all the coins out. She counted them carefully, 417 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 2: one by one. She had exactly a dollar and eleven cents. 418 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: She went down the street to the local pharmacy. Now 419 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 2: at the counter, she waited and waited for the pharmacists 420 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 2: to stop talking to this other man. But they talked 421 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 2: and talked, and she became. 422 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: More and more impatient. 423 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 2: She started rattling her coins together and scuffling her feet, 424 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 2: making more nooise. The more she fidgeted, the more annoyed 425 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 2: the pharmacist got. Finally, he said, young lady, I'm gonna 426 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 2: be with you in just a moment, but I'm talking 427 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 2: to my brother. I haven't seen him in a long time. 428 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 2: She said, no, I don't have a moment. My little 429 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 2: brother is sick and I need to buy a miracle. 430 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 2: He looked kind of puzzled and said you need to 431 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 2: buy what? She said, I need to buy a miracle. 432 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 2: My little brother needs an operation. How much does a 433 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 2: miracle cost? The pharmacist brother stooped down and said, honey, 434 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 2: what kind of miracle does your brother need? She said, 435 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 2: I don't know, but daddy doesn't have the money to 436 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 2: pay for it, so I want to use my own. 437 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 2: He said, how much do you have? She said a 438 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 2: dollar and eleven cents. He smiled and said, what do 439 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 2: you know, that's exactly how much a miracle costs. He 440 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 2: took her by the hand and said, take me to 441 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 2: see your parents. I want to talk to them. That 442 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 2: man was a well known surgeon. He specialized in neurosurgery. 443 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 2: It just so happened that's the exact type of operation 444 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,479 Speaker 2: the little boy needed. Long story short, he did the 445 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 2: operation without charge, and it wasn't any time for the little. 446 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: Boy was doing just fine. 447 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: The mother asked later, I wonder how much this operation 448 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 2: would have really cost. The little girl knew A dollar 449 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 2: and eleven cents plus. 450 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: The faith of a little child. What am I saying? 451 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 2: God knows every need you will ever have. He has 452 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 2: already lined up the right people. He's already lined up 453 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 2: the right breaks. 454 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: You don't have to. 455 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 2: Figure it all out, how you're gonna get out of debt, 456 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 2: how you're gonna get well, how you're gonna survive the 457 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 2: difficult times. All you have to do is have the 458 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 2: faith of a little child. Dare to believe that God 459 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 2: is in control. Believe that He's got you in the 460 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 2: palm of his hand. Believe that in your future are 461 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 2: handfuls on purpose. Psalm one in the message translation says 462 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 2: it seemed like a dream too good to be true 463 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 2: when God gave us the victory. Now God do it again, 464 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 2: so those with heavy hearts will come out laughing with 465 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 2: armloads of blessings. That's God's dreams. When you have a 466 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: heavy heart, when life deals you a difficult blow, God 467 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 2: wants to turn it around and not only bring you out, 468 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 2: but bring you out with a smile, better off than 469 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 2: you were before, with armloads of blessings. That's what He 470 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 2: did for this family. It was more than they could 471 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 2: even ask or think. And I don't know about you, 472 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 2: but I've seen God do amazing things. I've experienced firsthand 473 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 2: some of those armloads of blessings. When I look back 474 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 2: over my life, I can say with the psalmis, it's 475 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 2: like a dream too good to be true. Now my 476 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 2: prayer is for each one of you my prayers. God, 477 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 2: do it again. Do it for my friends.
