1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to the podcast, and we want to

Speaker 2: tell you how much we love you. Trusting you're going

Speaker 2: Know that we pray for you every day. Just speak

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,480

Speaker 3: We love you, we are praying for you, and we

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 3: hope you have a very merry Christmas.

9
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: Enjoy the podcast today. Well, God bless you.

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: It's a joy to come into your homes and if

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: you're ever in our area, please stop by be a

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: part of one of our services.

13
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: I promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

14
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: about this mother. One Sunday morning. She went in her

16
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: son's room and said, son, wake up, it's time to

17
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: go to church. He said, no, Mom, I'm not going

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: to go to church today. She said why not? He said,

19
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: I'll give you two good reasons. Number one, I don't

20
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: like the people, and number.

21
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: Two, they don't like me.

22
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: She said, all right, I'll give you two better reasons

23
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: why you should go on. You're forty nine years old,

24
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: and number two, you're the pastor. Say it like you

25
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it

26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: says I am. I have what it says I have.

27
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 2: I can do what it says I can do. Today

28
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess.

29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

30
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: never be the same. In Jesus' name.

31
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: God bless you.

32
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you today about high time.

33
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: When we've been believing for our dreams to come to

34
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: pass for a long time, or problems to turn around,

35
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: and we don't see anything happening. We're not making progress,

36
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: we're not getting good breaks. It's easy to lose our

37
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: passion and not expect things to change. It's been that

38
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: way so long. We start accepting it. I'll never get well.

39
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: I'll never break this addiction. I'll never accomplish my goals.

40
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: I tried, I prayed, I believed, but it didn't work out.

41
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: That may have been true in the past, but I

42
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: believe you are entering into a new season. The scripture

43
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: says now is the high time to wake up out

44
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: of your sleep, for you are nearer to your salvation

45
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: than when you first believed. When God first put the

46
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: promises in your heart, you were excited.

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: You told people what you were going to do.

48
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: But now it's been months, maybe years, it hasn't turned

49
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: out the way you had planned. You don't think it's

50
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: ever going to happen. God is saying you are closer

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: now to see it it come to pass than you've

52
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: ever been. You're coming in to a high time. High

53
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: time is when things suddenly change in your favor. High

54
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: time is when blessings chase you down.

55
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: You don't have to go after them, they come after you.

56
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: High time is when your healing shows up, you meet

57
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: the right person, you break the addiction. God makes things

58
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: happen that you couldn't make happen. Now, if you're going

59
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: to see this high time, there's something you have to do.

60
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: Wake up out of your sleep.

61
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: That means get your passion back, start believing again, start

62
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: expecting things to change, start talking like it's going to happen.

63
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: You can't sleep through your high time and see God's favor.

64
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: You can't be complacent and.

65
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: Step into the fullness of what God has in store.

66
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: The amplified version says it's a critical time. It stresses

67
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: the importance of the season. It's saying, don't take it lightly.

68
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: Don't dismiss it and say, ah, this isn't for me today.

69
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: If you don't stir your faith up, you can miss

70
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: the new things God wants to do, and what you're

71
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: believing for is not way. Often the distance is close,

72
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: it's at hand. It could happen to day. Live with

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: this expectancy. There has to be an end to dinticipation

74
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: in your spirit that today could be my day, not

75
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: one day in the sweet by and bye, I'll be blessed.

76
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: One day I'll be free from these problems. One day, Joel,

77
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: I'll walk on streets of gold, won't have to deal

78
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: with these bills. The problem with the one day mentality

79
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: is you will miss what God wants to do today.

80
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: We're not going to need favor in the sweet by

81
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: and bye. When we get to heaven, We're not going

82
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: to have any problems.

83
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: God wants to give you favor right here, right now.

84
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: The prophet Joel said, wake up the mighty men, wake

85
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: up the mighty women.

86
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: My message today is very simple.

87
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: Wake up, get your passion back, get your hopes up.

88
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: You are closer to meeting the right person than you've

89
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: ever been. You are closer to seeing your health turn

90
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: around than you've ever been. You are closer to go

91
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: into new levels, to see in explosive blessings than you've

92
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: ever ben.

93
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: My question is, are you awake?

94
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: Do you recognize this is your high time? The opposite

95
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: of high time, of course, is low time. Now, some

96
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: people live with a low time mentality.

97
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: I never get any good breaks.

98
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: My boss doesn't like me. I'll never get back in shape.

99
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: I've struggled my whole life. I'll never get my business

100
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: off the ground. Nobody in my family is successful. As

101
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: long as you have a low time mentality, it will

102
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: keep you from rising higher. Turn it around, get in

103
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 2: agreement with god Father.

104
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: Thank you.

105
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: This is my high time. I believe I'm close to

106
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: my victory.

107
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,559
Speaker 1: Somebody ask you how you're doing.

108
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: Don't tell them all the reasons why you're not going

109
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: to get well. How your grandmother had the same illness.

110
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 2: She only made it to forty seven. You can talk

111
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: yourself into defeat. Have a high time mentality. Yes, I

112
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: hadn't been feeling well, but I know I'm close to

113
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: my head. I'm close to the turnaround. You're still single, yes,

114
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: but I'm not worried. I'm close to meeting the right person.

115
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: He may show up today. I could meet her tomorrow.

116
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: You don't know. They could be in this building. Look

117
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: around before you leave.

118
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: Don't go out in a hurry. You're still at that

119
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: same position. You're still look around later, not now, you're

120
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: still in that same apartment. Yes, but I know a secret.

121
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 2: I'm in high time. I'm close to favor, I'm close

122
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: to promotion. I'm close to stepping up to a new

123
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: level of my destiny.

124
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: When we were children, we used to play a game.

125
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: One of us would hide something in the house and

126
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: the other person would try to find it. The one

127
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: that hid it would give them clues by telling them

128
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: they were getting hotter or getting colder. The closer you

129
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: got to it, the hotter you were. I would play

130
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: with my little sister, apriln. When she was going the

131
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: wrong direction, I'd say, you get cool, you're getting cooler,

132
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: you're cold, you're freezing. She'd turned go the right way.

133
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: You're getting warm, you're getting warmer.

134
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: Now you're hot. Now you're really hot. When she got

135
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: rught up close to it, i'd say, you're on fire.

136
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: You're burning.

137
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: What you've been believing for, what you're dreaming about may

138
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: not have happened for a long time. Now you're tempted

139
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: to settle there and think that it wasn't meant to be.

140
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: God is saying you're on fire. You're burning.

141
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: You're close to your victory, You're close to your breakthrough.

142
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: This is not the time to get discouraged. This is

143
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: the time to stir your faith up. You are closer

144
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: now to seeing it happen than you've ever been. Now,

145
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: you may not see any sign of it yet. The

146
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: medical report hasn't changed, the fertility treatments haven't worked. You

147
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: still feel stuck in your career. The enemy would love

148
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: to convince you to go to sleep, quit believing, and

149
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: quit dream and quit pray. It's never gonna work out.

150
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: You're just wasting your time. Don't believe those lies. You

151
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: are entering into a new season, in this high time.

152
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: It's not going to happen the way you thought. God's

153
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: not going to do it a traditional way. He's going

154
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: to do something unusual, something out of the ordinary.

155
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: You didn't see it coming.

156
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: It looked like another routine day, nothing special. Then suddenly,

157
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: out of nowhere, you.

158
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: Meet the right person.

159
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: You didn't go after them, They came after you. Suddenly

160
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: your health turns around. Suddenly you get the promotion.

161
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: God is full of surprises.

162
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 2: He loves to do things, not on a normal timetable,

163
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: not in a normal way, but when we don't expect it,

164
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: when it.

165
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: Seems the least likely.

166
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: If we knew it was high time, if we could

167
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: see it was going to happen, the scripture wouldn't tell

168
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: us to wake up.

169
00:08:59,280 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: High time.

170
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: When you're closer than you've ever been, is when every

171
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: circumstance says nothing's changing, it's not going to work out.

172
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: Just settle where you are. This is what happened with

173
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: a man in John chapter five. He was crippled. Every

174
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: day his friends would carry him to the Pool of Bethesda.

175
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: It was surrounded by people in great need, laying sick blind.

176
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: Once a year the angel would stir the waters.

177
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: The first person to get in would be healed.

178
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: This man had been lying there for thirty eight years.

179
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: I can see the reason why he went There was

180
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: a chance he could be well.

181
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: But I'm not so sure now.

182
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: He wasn't just going there to be around other people

183
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: that were like him. Sometimes when we're dysfunctional, we like

184
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: to be around.

185
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: Other dysfunctional people. So we feel normal.

186
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: If I'm insecure and you're insecure, and we go find

187
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: other insecure people, then be and insecure doesn't seem unusual.

188
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 2: Don't make the mistake of surrounding yourself with people that

189
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 2: feed your dysfunction. As long as you accept the dysfunction,

190
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 2: you're giving it permission to stay. You may have been

191
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: fighting depression, illnesses, addictions your whole life, but that is

192
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: not your destiny.

193
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: Don't be complacent and learn to live with it.

194
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 2: If you're depressed, don't go find depressed friends. Don't get

195
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: around people that enable your dysfunction. Get around some happy friends.

196
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: Get around people that lift your spirit, not people that

197
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: make you more depressed. If you're struggling with an addiction,

198
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 2: don't hang around people.

199
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: That are addicted.

200
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: It's hard enough to stay strong on your own. You

201
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: don't need them pulling you down. When you get better,

202
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: when you're free, you can.

203
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: Go back and help them.

204
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 2: But right now you need to stay out of that

205
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 2: dysfunction and get around people that have what you want.

206
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: Not we're being addicted is the norm, but we're being

207
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: free is the norm. We're being happy is the norm.

208
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: We're being victorious is the norm. This man had thirty

209
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: eight chances to get well. Thirty eight times. Once a

210
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: year the angel stirred the waters, but somebody always got

211
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 2: in in front of him. And I'm sure they knew

212
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 2: when the angel normally came, maybe it was in the spring,

213
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: they would especially be on guard. This is our time.

214
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: It could happen any moment. When it didn't happen, they

215
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: would sit there month after month, no expectancy, no passion.

216
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: They had to wait a whole year just to have

217
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: another chance.

218
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: But one day.

219
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: Jesus showed up at the pool. I can imagine it

220
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: was during the fall. There were hundreds of sick people

221
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: all around, but he walked straight to this crippled man

222
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: and said, do you want to get well? That seemed

223
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: like an odd question. He came to the pool to

224
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: get well. But I believe Jesus could see that he

225
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: had been there so long he had gone to sleep.

226
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: He wasn't expecting anything to change. Early on the first

227
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: few years, he was excited. He knew he would be next,

228
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 2: but it didn't happen the first year.

229
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: The fifth year of the twentieth year.

230
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: Now, instead of answering Jesus with a simple yes, I

231
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: want to get well, He said, sir, I have nobody

232
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: to help me. When the angel comes, somebody always gets

233
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: in front of me.

234
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: Jesus didn't say, I understand. I feel sorry for you.

235
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: You've had a rough life.

236
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: Jesus said to him, get up, pick up your bed,

237
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: and walk.

238
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: The man was confused. He thought, what do you mean

239
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: I can't walk? Can't you see I'm crippled. The angel

240
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: didn't come.

241
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: It wasn't the right season, it wasn't the normal way.

242
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: He had seen thirty eight people heal before.

243
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: He knew how it happened. He was an expert.

244
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: In the spring, the angel showed up. That's when you

245
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: got well. Now he was at a crossroads. Was he

246
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: going to let traditions how it happened in the past,

247
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: what he was expecting talk him out of it? Or

248
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: was he going to say, if you say I can

249
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: get up, I'm going to get up. All of a sudden,

250
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 2: something came alive on the inside.

251
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: What happened?

252
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: He woke up? He recognized, this is my high time.

253
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 2: I'm closer now than I've ever been. I'm not going

254
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: to sit around another year, discouraged, surrounded by defeat.

255
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to arise. When he started to get up instantly,

256
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: his legs were healed. He picked up his bed and

257
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: walked out of there.

258
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: But Jesus didn't come at the normal time and do

259
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: it a normal way. This man didn't see anything different

260
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: than he had seen in thirty eight years, yet suddenly

261
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: he came in to his high time. Well, Joel, I've

262
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: had this addiction since high school. I've been praying for

263
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: my dreams come to pass for years.

264
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: Nothing's happened.

265
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: I've been believing for this child to get back on course.

266
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: I don't think it's possible anymore. I'm here to wake

267
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: you up. Even if it's been thirty eight years, it

268
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: is not too late. In the scripture, Sarah had a

269
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: baby when she was eighty years old. What God put

270
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: in your heart? Don't talk yourself out of it. You

271
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: are coming in to your high time. You're about to

272
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: see God do unusual things. You weren't the most qualified,

273
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: but they skipped over others and chose you.

274
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: You didn't see it coming.

275
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: It wasn't the normal time to be promoted, but God

276
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 2: showed up in the quote wrong season. The medical report

277
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: said you wouldn't get well, just learned to live with it.

278
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: But you came in to your high time.

279
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: God did what medicine couldn't do. He healed you out

280
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: of season. He promoted you out of season. Your business

281
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: takes off out of season. I talked to a lady

282
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: that works in sales. Last year, everyone in her company

283
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: had a down year, over one hundred salespeople. But she said, Joel,

284
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 2: it was like clients were looking for me. I didn't

285
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: have to go after new business. Every time that turned around,

286
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: someone was calling me.

287
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: People she didn't even know were recommending her sending business

288
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: her way.

289
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: She ended up fifty percent higher than her previous year.

290
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: Her coworkers couldn't understand how in a down year she

291
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: could be doing so great. What was that God showing

292
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: up in the wrong season when she wasn't expecting it.

293
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: God loves to do unusual things when you think you

294
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: should be asleep. Don't expect much. Just make it through

295
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: this year. No, get ready. God is about to surprise.

296
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: He's going to make things happen that you couldn't make.

297
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: Happen out of season, out of time, not the traditional way,

298
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: not ordinary. It's going to happen sooner than you think.

299
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: Second Kings, Chapter seven. There was a great famine in

300
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: the city of Samaria.

301
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: Food was so scarce.

302
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: That it costs one hundred times what it normally did.

303
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: To make matters worse, an army had surrounded the city

304
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: and cut off the food supply. The prophet Elishah showed

305
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: up and said to the Israelites, by this time tomorrow

306
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: there will be so much food you'll be able to

307
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: buy a loaf of bread for one penny and ten

308
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: quarts of flour off for one cent.

309
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: The people thought, come on, Elisha.

310
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: We're starving, we're surrounded by an army, and you're telling

311
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: us this is our high time. You're saying we're close

312
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: to our victory. Can't you see it's the wrong circumstances,

313
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: wrong time. All the odds are against us. There was

314
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 2: no reason in the natural for them to believe what

315
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: Elisha said. May be the same thing for you, Joe,

316
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: you say it's my high time. If you saw my

317
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,239
Speaker 2: bank account, you'd say it's my low time. If you

318
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: saw my medical report, if you saw how these people

319
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: were treating me at work, you wouldn't tell me I'm

320
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: close to my victory. You wouldn't say get my hopes up.

321
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: That's just how these people felt. But just because you

322
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: don't see a way doesn't mean that God doesn't.

323
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: Have a way.

324
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 2: And it's easy to be discouraged to be negative. Let's

325
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 2: circumstances talk you out of it.

326
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: That doesn't take any faith.

327
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 2: But when it seems impossible, when you don't have the

328
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: connections to accomplish your dreams, when the medical report isn't good,

329
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: that's when you have to dig your heels in and say,

330
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 2: all the odds may be against me, but God, I

331
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: know you are for me.

332
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: I believe things are changing in my favor.

333
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: There were four lepers sitting outside the city gates of Samaria.

334
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: They said to each other, we have nothing to lose.

335
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 2: We're going to die anyway. Let's go down to the

336
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 2: enemy's camp and see what they're doing. As they walked

337
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: toward the enemy, God multiplied the sound of their footsteps.

338
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: It sounded like.

339
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 2: A huge army was approaching. The enemy panicked and took off,

340
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: running for their lives. They left all their food, all

341
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: their supplies, all their equipment. The Leopards went back and

342
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: told the Israelites what had happened. Just like Elija said,

343
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: there was so much food you could buy a loaf.

344
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: Of bread for one penny.

345
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: It all happened twenty four hours after Elisha said it.

346
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 2: God told them, by this time tomorrow seemed impossible, no

347
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 2: way in the natural, But we serve a supernatural God.

348
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: He has some. By this time, Tomorrow's for you.

349
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 2: When it looks the unlikely, get ready for the most

350
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 2: High God to show up and surprise you. And yes,

351
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: I realized there are seasons of waiting, seasons of being faithful,

352
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 2: doing the right thing when it's hard. But at some

353
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: point that season of testing is going to come to

354
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: an end. Like the Israelites, you may feel like you're

355
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: in a famine, surrounded by difficulties. If you ever wanted

356
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: to doubt, be discouraged, talk yourself out of it, it

357
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: would be now. My challenge is stay awake, don't go

358
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: to sleep. God has some by this time to Mars

359
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: for you. He can do it suddenly, unexpectedly. You didn't

360
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: see it coming. I received an email from a young

361
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: lady that just graduated from college, and she was very

362
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 2: grateful to have her degree, but she was thousands of

363
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: dollars in debt. It looked like she would be paying

364
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: on that for the next twenty years. But recently the

365
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: college called and informed her that they were forgiving her

366
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 2: debt of fifty four thousand dollars.

367
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: She was so excited, she said.

368
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 2: Joel, it was like my degree in criminal justice was

369
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: for free. One night she went to bed tens of

370
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: thousands of dollars in debt, but by that time tomorrow.

371
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: She was debt free.

372
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: She didn't see it coming. She wasn't expecting it. What happened,

373
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: She came in.

374
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: To her high time.

375
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 2: Like her, You are closer to your freedom, closer to

376
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: your abundance, closer to your breakthrough than you realize. It

377
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 2: may look like you're going to be in debt for

378
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: the next thirty years, but God has them by this time,

379
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: tomorrow's for you. You may think you're going to have

380
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 2: to struggle with that illness the rest of your life,

381
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: or stay awake. You're coming in to your high time.

382
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: I talked to a man that had flown to Houston

383
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: to have treatment.

384
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: At the medical Center.

385
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: He has a cancerous tumor in his stomach area, and.

386
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: He was told he would need to.

387
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 2: Take treatment for six months and then they would evaluate

388
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: to see if the tumor was shrinking. Before he started

389
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 2: the new treatment, they took X rays and noticed that

390
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: the tumor was already shrinking. Surprise, they asked the man

391
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 2: if he was doing anything differently.

392
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: He wasn't.

393
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: They said, you don't need to take the treatment. Your

394
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: body is healing itself. Let's wait and see what happens.

395
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: He flew all that way to have it, but God

396
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 2: had a by this time.

397
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: Tomorrow waiting for him.

398
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: Well, Joel, what if it doesn't happen by tomorrow, then

399
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: you should go to.

400
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: Bed that night saying Father, thank you.

401
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: Now I know I'm one day closer to seeing it

402
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 2: come to pass. Keep this expectancy in your spirit.

403
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: Those things that have held you back in the past.

404
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 2: That is not your destiny, That is not how your

405
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: story ends.

406
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 1: Don't let negative circumstances.

407
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 2: Convince you to settle where you are Jesus said in

408
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: John four. Or say not, there are four months and

409
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 2: then come the harvest. Lift up your eyes look on

410
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: the fields, for the harvest is ready.

411
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: Now.

412
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: Notice the principle say not is four months away?

413
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 1: Say not, it's never going to happen. Say not.

414
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: Maybe one day I'll get the break I need. If

415
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 2: you're always in the future, the seyns will keep you

416
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: from God's best. You have to get rid of the seynos.

417
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 2: Now is the time to believe. Now is the time

418
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 2: to release your faith. What you're hoping for is not

419
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 2: way off in the distance. It's closer than you think.

420
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: You're in your high time. When a caterpillar transforms into

421
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 2: a butterfly, it spends about three weeks in the cocoon.

422
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 2: It develops its wings, it gets the strength to push out,

423
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: and finally it comes out of that cocoon. Now I'm

424
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: sure it's happy, you know, at least it's not in

425
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: the cocoon. It's not dark anymore, it's not confined. But

426
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 2: the problem is, even though he has brand new wings,

427
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: at first, the wings don't work.

428
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: They're soft, they're folded over.

429
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 2: He could think, Wow, I'm glad I'm not a caterpillar anymore,

430
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 2: at least to look better. But I still can't get

431
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: off the ground. I still can't go any faster. It

432
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: looks like he's stuck. But for the next few hours,

433
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: the butterfly starts pumping blood.

434
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: Through its wings.

435
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 2: Those wings start to spread out, they start to get.

436
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: Stronger and firmer.

437
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 2: After four hours of pumping blood through them, those wings

438
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 2: are now ready for flight.

439
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: The butterfly takes off into the air.

440
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 2: Like this butterfly, many times we know there's more in us.

441
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 2: We know we're supposed to rise higher. We can feel

442
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: these seeds of greatness. We read God's promises that tell

443
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 2: us we're supposed to be healthy. We're supposed to live

444
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: an abundant life. We're supposed to break the addiction. Our

445
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 2: wings are there, but they're not working. We're not getting

446
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 2: off the ground. We're not making progress. But like this butterfly,

447
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with your wings.

448
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: You're not stuck.

449
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 2: As you keep honoring God, as you keep being your best,

450
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: you know what's happening. You're pumping blood through your wings.

451
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: They're starting to spread out. They're getting stronger. Every time

452
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 2: you thank God for the victory, you just pump blood

453
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: into your wings. Every time you come to church, you're

454
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 2: pumping more blood into your wings. When you get up

455
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: in the morning with a grateful heart and thank God

456
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: for the day, you're pumping in more blood. Your wings

457
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: are developing now at the right time. Suddenly, unexpectedly, you're

458
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 2: going to take off.

459
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: You're going to go further than you ever imagine.

460
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 2: Now, don't get discouraged because it hasn't happened yet. Just

461
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: keep pumping that blood, keep honoring God, keep being faithful,

462
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: keep hoping, praying, believe it. Isaiah said, they that wait

463
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: on the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount

464
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: up with wings like eagles. God has some wings for you.

465
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 2: When this says to wait, it doesn't mean to be

466
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 2: passive sick back God, why aren't you doing anything?

467
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: Nothing's working out. One translation says.

468
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: Wait with expectancy, wait knowing that it's on the way.

469
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 2: In other words, I'm on the ground now, but I

470
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 2: know I'm about to fly. I'm close to my healing,

471
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: I'm close to my breakthrough, I'm close to the promotion.

472
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 2: That's how you get your wings, not dragging around disappointed,

473
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 2: focusing on how long it's taken, why it's never going

474
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: to work out. That's a low time mentality. You have

475
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 2: to come over into high time. Those things you're believing

476
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: for you've never been closer than right now. It could

477
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 2: happen today, It could happen by this time tomorrow.

478
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: Your wings could be developed this month.

479
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: To get rid of the saynox quit believing those lies,

480
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: that it is way off in the distance.

481
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: God is saying you're on fire. You're burning. You're closer

482
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: than you think. You're in your high time. I believe

483
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: and declare.

484
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: Because you're honoring God, You're pumping blood through your wings.

485
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: You're about to take off. You're about to see what

486
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: you're believing for.

487
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 2: It's going to be better than you thought, and it's

488
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: going to happen.

489
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: Sooner than you expected. In Jesus' name, And if you

490
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: receive it today, can you say amen?

491
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 2: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

492
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: the Lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

493
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 2: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come

494
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 2: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.

495
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 2: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

496
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: born again. Get in a good Bible based church, and

497
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 2: keep God first place.

498
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 4: I have a dream that's waiting to happen, but it

499
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 4: often feels like you'll never get there. Is your dream

500
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 4: to start a business, to see a loved one come

501
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 4: to the Lord. Are you asking God? Will it ever happen?

502
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes it feels like our dream is so far off.

503
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: But I believe you're closer than you think.

504
