But thanks so much for tuning in, 45 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 6: and thank you again for coming out. I like to 46 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 6: start with something funny. I heard about this man that 47 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 6: was walking on the beach and God said, son, you've 48 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 6: been so faithful, I'm going to grant you one special wish. 49 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 5: He was so excited. 50 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 6: He said, God, I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, 51 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 6: but I'm afraid to fly. So my wish is that 52 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 6: you would build me a bridge across the ocean. God said, son, 53 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 6: that's totally impossible. Think of the logistics of that. Now 54 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 6: take some time and wish again. He said, okay, God, 55 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 6: I've been divorced four times. All my ex wives say 56 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 6: I am so insensitive. My wish is that I would 57 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 6: be able to understand a woman. I want to know 58 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 6: why she thinks like she thinks, and why she feels 59 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 6: like she feels. 60 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 5: There was a long pause. 61 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 6: God said, do you want two lanes or four lanes 62 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 6: on that bridge? And all the men said, amen, say 63 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 6: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 64 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 6: am what it says I am. I have what it 65 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 6: says I have. I can do what it says I 66 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 6: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 67 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 6: I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 68 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 6: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God, 69 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 6: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 70 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 6: be positive or be quiet. Every one of us has 71 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 6: promises that we're standing on things that we're believing for. 72 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 6: Maybe it's to get out of debt, or to be 73 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 6: healthy again, to meet the right person, to start our 74 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 6: own business. We know God has spoken to us, but 75 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 6: we don't see any sign of it happening. Nothing is changing. 76 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 6: It looks just like it did six months ago. The 77 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 6: mistake we make too often is we start to talk 78 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 6: ourselves out of it. 79 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 5: I don't think I'm gonna get out of day. 80 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 6: Business is too slow, or I could never accomplish my dreams. 81 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 6: I'm too old, Joel, I miss my opportunity. We don't 82 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 6: realize our words are what's keeping the promise from coming 83 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 6: to pass. 84 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 5: You cannot talk defeat and expect to have victory. 85 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 6: The moment you speak something out, you are giving life 86 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 6: to what you're saying, either good or bad. That's what 87 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 6: allows it to become a reality. Negative thoughts come to 88 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 6: every person. You can't stop the thoughts from coming. The 89 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 6: key is don't verbalize the negative. You may think it, 90 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 6: but don't speak it out. If you're not going to 91 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 6: say anything good about your health, your finances, your children, 92 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 6: your future, do yourself a favor. Zip it up, don't 93 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 6: say anything at all, be positive or be quiet proverb success. 94 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 6: We are snared by the words of our mouth. Do 95 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 6: you know you can talk yourself out of your healing? 96 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 6: You can talk yourself out of a promotion. Negative words 97 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 6: can keep you from your God given destiny. This is 98 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 6: what almost happened to a man in the Scripture named Jeremiah. 99 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 6: God gave him a great promise that he would become 100 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 6: a prophet to the nations. But when he heard this, 101 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 6: he was very young and unsure of himself. He said, God, 102 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 6: I can't do that. I can't speak to the nations. 103 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 6: I'm too young. I wouldn't know what to say. God said, Jeremiah, 104 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 6: say not that you are too young. The first thing 105 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 6: God did was stopped his negative words. Why did God 106 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 6: do that? God knew if he went around saying I'm 107 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 6: not qualified, I can't do this, I don't have what 108 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 6: it takes, he would become exactly what he was saying. 109 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 6: So God said, in effect, Jeremiah, zip it up. 110 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 5: You may think it, but don't speak it out. 111 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 6: It goes on to tell how Jeremiah changed what he 112 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 6: was saying and he became a prophet to the nations. 113 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 5: The promise came to pass in the same way. 114 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 6: God has called every one of us to do something great. 115 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 6: He's put dreams, desires on the inside. But it's easy 116 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,679 Speaker 6: to say, like Jeremiah can't do that. I'm too young, 117 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 6: I'm too old, I've made too many mistakes. I don't 118 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 6: have the education, I don't have the experience. We can 119 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 6: all make excuses, but God is saying to us what 120 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 6: he said to Jeremiah. Stop saying that. Don't curse your future. 121 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 6: Those negative words can keep you from God's best And 122 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 6: sometimes the reason a promise is being delayed is because 123 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 6: of what we're saying. Imagine your answer is on the way. 124 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 6: God has already dispatched the angel with your healing, your promotion, 125 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 6: your vindication. But right before it gets here, God says 126 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 6: to the angel, don't go any further, stay right where 127 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 6: you are. The angel says, why, God, this is what 128 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 6: you promise, It's in your word. God says, no, listen 129 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 6: to what they're saying. They're talking about how it's not 130 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 6: going to happen, how the problem's too big, how it's 131 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 6: been too long, how they'll never meet the right person. 132 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 6: Negative words stop God's promises. Now, I wonder how many 133 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 6: times we're just a couple of months away from seeing 134 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 6: the answer, a couple of months from meeting the right person. 135 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 6: You've been praying for years that God would bring somebody 136 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 6: great into your life, but right before they show up, 137 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 6: you let your. 138 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 5: Guard down to Tart's saying, Ah, it's not going to happen. 139 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 6: I'm too old. Nobody's interested in me. God has to 140 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 6: say to the angel, don't go any further. The good 141 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 6: news is that promise is still in your future. God 142 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 6: didn't cancel it because we get negative. He still has 143 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 6: the right person for you. And if you'll zip up 144 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 6: the doubt and switch over into faith at the right time, 145 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 6: they will show up. God will release what negative words 146 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 6: have delayed. God still has your healing, your promotion, your restoration. 147 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 6: Now do your part. Quit talking about how it's not 148 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 6: going to happen. 149 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 5: You may not see away, but God still has a way. 150 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 6: It may look impossible, but God can do the impossible. 151 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 6: Just because you don't see anything happening doesn't mean God. 152 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 5: Is not working right now. 153 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 6: Behind the scenes, God is arranging things in your favor. 154 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 6: He's lining up the right people. He's moving the wrong 155 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 6: people out of the way. He's positioning you exactly where 156 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 6: he wants you to be. Now, don't delay the promise 157 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 6: by speaking negative words. Our son, Jonathan, is seventeen years 158 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 6: old and we're in the process of applying to different colleges. 159 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 6: Some schools only accept five percent of the students that apply. 160 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 6: That means, of course, that ninety five percent of the 161 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 6: applicants get turned down. It's easy to think, why do 162 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 6: we even want to apply to those schools. It's practically impossible. 163 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 6: More than nine out of ten get denied. Jonathan, don't 164 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 6: get your hopes up. I don't see how you could 165 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 6: get in there. If we're not careful, we'll talk ourselves 166 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 6: out of it. You may think those thoughts, but don't 167 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 6: make the mistake of verbalizing them. Learn to turn it around. God, 168 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 6: I know you have my son in the palm of 169 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 6: your hand. You've already picked out the right college for 170 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 6: him to attend. There may be only a five percent 171 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 6: chance for some schools, but God, I know with you. 172 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 5: There's a one hundred percent chance. 173 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 6: He'll get in exactly where you want him to go. 174 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 5: God, you control the whole universe. 175 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 6: That's much better than going around all the odds are 176 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 6: against me. Look good, I don't see how it's going 177 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 6: to happen. No, zip that up. If you can't be positive, 178 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 6: at least be quiet. You are prophesying your future. 179 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,359 Speaker 5: If you say. 180 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 6: I'll never get in, then you'll never get in. If 181 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 6: you say this problem is going to sink me, then 182 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 6: it will sink you. If you say I'll never be 183 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 6: able to afford a nice house, You'll never be able 184 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 6: to afford a nice house. 185 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 5: You're be ensnared by the words of your mouth. Luke. 186 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 6: Chapter one, an angel appeared to a man named Zachariah. 187 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 6: The angel told him that his wife Elizabeth, was going 188 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 6: to have a baby and they were to name him John. 189 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 6: Zachariah was very surprised because he and his wife were 190 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 6: way up there in years. He said to the angel, 191 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 6: are you sure this is going to happen? It sounds great, 192 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 6: but do you see how old we are. To me, 193 00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 6: it just doesn't seem possible. The angel said, Zachariah, I 194 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 6: am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of Almighty God, 195 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 6: and what God says will come to pass. But God 196 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 6: knows the power of our words. He knew if Zachariah 197 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 6: went around speaking defeat. It would stop his plan. So 198 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 6: God did something unusual. The angel said, Zachariah, because you doubted, 199 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 6: you will remain silent and not be. 200 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 5: Able to speak until the baby is born. 201 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 6: Zachariah left there unable to talk, couldn't say one word 202 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 6: for nine months until that child was born. Why did 203 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 6: God take away his speech? God knew he would go 204 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 6: out and start telling his friends how it wasn't gonna happen. 205 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 6: Hey man, this angel appeared said, we're gonna have a baby. 206 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 6: He must have got the wrong person. 207 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 5: We're too old. 208 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 6: God knows with our words we are prophesying our future. 209 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 6: A lot of times we think, well, joel, God's God. 210 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 6: If he wants to bless me, he'll bless me. 211 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 5: No. 212 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 6: God works by laws. Yes, God wants to bless you, 213 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 6: but it will not happen if you're speaking defeat over 214 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 6: your life. That's why the scripture says, put a watch 215 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 6: over your mouth. In other words, be careful what you 216 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 6: allow to come out of your mouth. This is especially 217 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 6: important in difficult times. That's when it's easy to get negative. 218 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 6: Started saying, well, I don't think I'm ever going to 219 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 6: get well. I've had this sickness for three years, or 220 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 6: put a watch over your mouth. 221 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 5: Don't prophesy that defeat. 222 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 6: If you're going to say anything, say what God says, 223 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 6: I will live and not die. God is restoring health 224 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 6: back unto me. The number of my days he will fulfill. 225 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 6: That's what we should be saying. The thought comes, you'll 226 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 6: never accomplish your dreams. You'll never rise any higher. You've 227 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 6: gone as far as you can go. You can't stop 228 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 6: the thoughts from coming, but you can choose to not 229 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 6: give them life by speaking them out. When you don't 230 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 6: speak it, that thought will die still born. It can't 231 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 6: take root and become a reality. But when you say it, 232 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 6: you are giving birth to what you're speaking All through 233 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 6: the day. You need to ask yourself, is what I'm 234 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 6: about to say? What I want to come into my life? 235 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 6: Because what you're saying you're inviting in. When you say 236 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 6: I'll never get out of death the economy's too slow, 237 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 6: you're inviting struggle and lack. When you say this problem's 238 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 6: too big, I don't think I'll ever get out of that. 239 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 6: You're inviting defeat, mediocrity. You need to send out some 240 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 6: new invitations when you say I will lend and not borrow. 241 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 5: God's favor surrounds me like a shield. 242 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 6: Whatever I touch prospers and succeeds. You are inviting increase, 243 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 6: good breaks says. When you say I will overcome this problem, 244 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 6: I am more than a conqueror. If God before me, 245 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 6: who dare be against me? You're inviting strength, healing, restoration, vindication, 246 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 6: breakthroughs now. Pay attention to what you're inviting. Well, I'll 247 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 6: never pass this algebra course. I've never been good in math. 248 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 6: I just don't understand it. Change the invitation. I can 249 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 6: do all things through Christ. I have good understanding. I 250 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 6: am full of wisdom. I am an a student. When 251 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 6: you do that, you're inviting. As you're inviting wisdom, you're 252 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 6: inviting God's blessings. Make sure you're sending out the right invitations. 253 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 6: When I first started ministering back in nineteen ninety nine, 254 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 6: I had never done this before, and I was very 255 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 6: nervous and very unsure of myself. Every negative thought imaginable 256 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 6: would come to my mind, things like Joel, you're going 257 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 6: to get up there and make a fool of yourself. 258 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 6: You're not gonna know what to say. Nobody's gonna listen 259 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 6: to you. You don't have the experience. All through the 260 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 6: day I had to ignore those thoughts. I would go 261 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 6: around saying under my breath, I am anointed, I am equipped, 262 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 6: I am strong in the Lord. Before I would come 263 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 6: to church and minister, I would look at myself in 264 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 6: the mirror and say, Joel, you are well able. You've 265 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 6: been raised up for such a time as this. 266 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 5: The services would. 267 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 6: Go out all over through the television. Those thoughts would 268 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 6: come saying, what are you doing on television? Other ministers 269 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 6: are so much more qualified. Nobody's gonna tune you in. 270 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 6: Instead of repeating that from the very first, I started saying, Father, 271 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 6: I want to thank you that people are being drawn 272 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 6: to me. 273 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 5: When they turn me on, they cannot turn me off. 274 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 5: Do you know I get letters every. 275 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 6: Day from people saying, Joel, I never watched TV ministers, 276 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 6: but I was flipping through the channels, and when I 277 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 6: turned you on, I couldn't turn you off. That's much 278 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 6: better than going around saying I'm not qualified, I don't. 279 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 5: Have the experience, I don't have what it takes. 280 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 6: The scripture says you've got to call the things that 281 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 6: are not as if they already were. I didn't feel confident, 282 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 6: but I called myself confident. I didn't feel annointed, but 283 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 6: I called myself anointed. Now you may not feel blessed, 284 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 6: but you need to call yourself blessed. The circumstances may 285 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 6: not say you're prosperous, but by faith. 286 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 5: You need to call yourself prosperous. 287 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 6: You may not feel healthy today, but don't go around 288 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 6: telling everyone how you're not going to make it. Start 289 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 6: calling yourself healthy, whole, strong, full of energy, full of life. 290 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 6: When Joshua was leading the people of Israel toward the 291 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 6: Promised Land, they came to the city of Jericho. It 292 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 6: stood between them and their destiny. They couldn't go around it, 293 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 6: they had to go through it. The problem is Jericho 294 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:14,479 Speaker 6: was surrounded by a huge, thick, tall wall made up 295 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 6: of stone and mortar. Didn't look like there was any 296 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 6: way the Israelites could get in, but God told them 297 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 6: to do something that sounded strange. To march around that 298 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 6: wall for six days, and on the seventh day they 299 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 6: were to march around seven times. If that wasn't odd enough, 300 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 6: God gave them one final instruction, the key to the 301 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 6: whole thing working. He said, while you're marching around the walls. 302 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 6: I don't want you to say one word, not a whisper, 303 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 6: not a short conversation, not an update on how it's going. 304 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 6: Keep totally silent. Why did God not allow them to speak? 305 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 6: God knew after a couple of times around, they'd start saying, 306 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 6: what in the world are we doing out here? This 307 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 6: wall's never gonna fall. Look how thick it is, It's 308 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 6: been here for years. Joshua must have heard God wrong. 309 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 6: Somebody else speak up. Yeah, and I'm tired, I'm hot, 310 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 6: and I'm hungry. 311 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 5: This dust is getting in my face. 312 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 6: God knew they would talk themselves out of it. In fact, 313 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 6: it had happened years before. Their parents their relatives were 314 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 6: camped next door to the Promised Land. But when the 315 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 6: spies came back and told everyone how big their enemies were, 316 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 6: that negative report spread like wildfire throughout the rest. 317 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 5: Of the camp. 318 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 6: Before long, all two million people were complaining, saying, we 319 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 6: don't have a chance, will never defeat these enemies. Even 320 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 6: though they were next door, Their negative words kept them 321 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 6: from going in. God knew it had happened once and 322 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 6: it would happen again, so he told them to be quiet. 323 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 6: He would say it in effect, I know you're not 324 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,479 Speaker 6: going to be positive. 325 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 5: So just stay silent. 326 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 6: There are times in all of our lives where it's 327 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 6: difficult to be positive, and that's okay. Just stay silent. 328 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 6: Don't tell everyone what you're thinking. You know how the 329 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 6: story ends. On the seventh time around or the seventh day, 330 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 6: the walls came tumbling down. 331 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,479 Speaker 5: Here's the question today. 332 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 6: Could it be that negative words are keeping you out 333 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 6: of your promised land? Could it be if you would 334 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 6: remain silent, not talk about how big the problem is, 335 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 6: not complain about what didn't work out, Not tell a 336 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 6: friend how you're never going to be successful that if 337 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 6: you would zip it up, maybe the walls that are 338 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 6: holding you back would come down. Imagine behind that wall 339 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,719 Speaker 6: is your healing, your promotion, your dream coming to pass. 340 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 6: Every day, so to speak, you're walking around the wall. 341 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 5: What are you saying? This wall's never going to fall join. 342 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 6: I've had this addiction since high school. 343 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 5: I'll never be able. 344 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,479 Speaker 6: To start my own business. I don't know the right people. 345 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 6: No God is saying to us what he said to 346 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 6: the Israelites. If you can't say anything good, don't say 347 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 6: anything at all. Don't let Your negative words keep you 348 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 6: from God's best. If you'll stop talking, defeat, lack how 349 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 6: it's not going to happen, and simply remain silent. God 350 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 6: can do for you what he did for them. He 351 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 6: knows how to bring those walls down. When we're marching 352 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,959 Speaker 6: around the walls, sometimes we go day after day and 353 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 6: we don't see anything happening. Just like them, the thoughts 354 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 6: come saying you didn't hear God right, nothing is changing. 355 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 6: You go to work every week, do your best. You're 356 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 6: not being promoted. No, that is a time of testing. 357 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 6: Like the Israelites. You're marching around the wall. You may 358 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 6: be on day five. That translates into you've been doing 359 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 6: it a year, two years, five years. 360 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 5: Surely it would have happened by now. No, pass that test. 361 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 5: Don't start complaining. 362 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 6: Don't do like the first group and say, oh, what's 363 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 6: the use, let's just settle here. No, when the negative 364 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 6: thoughts come, let them die still born. Refuse to prophesy, 365 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 6: defeat over your life. If you do this, you will 366 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 6: come in to your seventh day. Like the Israelites, those 367 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 6: walls will come tumbling down. God is a faithful god. 368 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 5: He will do what he's promised you Second Kings, Chapter four. 369 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 6: There was a woman that was good friends with the 370 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 6: Prophet Elisha. In fact, she had built an extra room 371 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 6: on her house so when Elisha was in town he 372 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 6: could come and stay there. One day, Elisha asked her 373 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 6: what he could do for her to return the favor. 374 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 6: She said, nothing, Elisha, My husband and I were doing 375 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 6: just fine. Elisha noticed that they didn't have any children. 376 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 6: Her husband was an older man. Before he left, he prophesied, 377 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 6: by this time next year. 378 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 5: You're going to have a baby. She was so excited. 379 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 6: Sure enough, the next year she had a baby boy. 380 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 6: When that son was about ten years old, he was 381 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 6: out in the field playing one day and his head 382 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 6: began to hurt very badly. They carried him home and 383 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 6: placed him in his mother's arms, where he later died. 384 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 6: You can imagine how this mother felt. She was heartbroken, devastated. 385 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 6: She carried her son to Elisha's room and placed him 386 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 6: on Elisha's bed. For most people, this would be the 387 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 6: end of the story, but not this lady. She told 388 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 6: her assistant, saddle me up a horse. I'm going to 389 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 6: see the Prophet Elisha. The assistant said, ma'am, you don't 390 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 6: need to do that. There's nothing he can do to 391 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 6: say it. But your son is no longer alive, she said, 392 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 6: don't ask questions, Just get me a horse ready. Men, 393 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 6: we know better than to mess with a woman who's 394 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 6: got her mind made of She got on this horse 395 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 6: and took off toward Elisha's house as fast as she could. 396 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 6: Can imagine, like the lone ranger. She was riding in 397 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 6: to bring justice. When Elisha saw the dust billowing up 398 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 6: in the sky a couple of miles away. At one point, 399 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 6: he noticed it was his friend, the woman that had 400 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 6: built the extra. 401 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 5: Room on her house. 402 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 6: Elisha told his assistant gahes I, go find out what's wrong. 403 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 6: Gahes I jumped on his horse and met the woman 404 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 6: way down the road. Stopped her. Said, hey, Elisha's concerned. 405 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,719 Speaker 6: Why are you coming unexpectedly in such a hurry? 406 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 5: Is anything wrong? I love the way she answered. 407 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 6: She said, no, all is well. She kept heading full 408 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 6: steam ahead. Okay, hayes I thought about it and said, 409 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 6: that doesn't make sense. He caught back up to her 410 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 6: a second time. Let me ask you again. 411 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 5: Is everything okay. 412 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 6: With your husband? 413 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 5: She said? All is well? Is everything okay at your house? 414 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 5: All is well? 415 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 6: Then he asked, is everything okay with your son? She 416 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 6: said it again, all as well. She was speaking it 417 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 6: by faith. A lot of times when we face difficulties. 418 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 6: Somebody asked us how everything's going, we do just the opposite. 419 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 5: Oh man, let me tell you. My business is so slow. 420 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 6: My stocks are down, my back's been hurting, dishwasher broke, 421 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 6: somebody dented in my car, and traffic was backed up. 422 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 6: Usher wouldn't let me sit where I wanted to sit 423 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 6: this morning. It's easy to talk about the problem, how 424 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 6: bad it is, how it's never gonna work out. But 425 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 6: in those tough times when you feel like complaining, you 426 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 6: got a good reason to be sour. You lost a job, 427 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 6: a friend did you wrong, you're. 428 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 5: Not feeling well. 429 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 6: That's when you have to dig your heels in and 430 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 6: say it by faith. Business is slow, but all is well. 431 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 6: God is still on the throne. He's Jehovah, Jirah, the Lord, 432 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 6: my provider. Or the medical report wasn't good, but all 433 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 6: is well. God is my healer. Nothing will snatch me 434 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 6: out of his hands. She made it finally to Elisha's house. 435 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 6: She said, Elisha, this son you promised me has died. 436 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 6: In other words, I didn't ask for the boy Elijah. 437 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 6: You prophesied it and God gave him to me. And 438 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 6: I know if you will come pray for him, he 439 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 6: will come back to life. He got on his horse, 440 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 6: went to her house, prayed for the little boy, and 441 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 6: he came back to life. 442 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 5: A great miracle. But here's what I want you to see. 443 00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 6: Even in her darkest hour, even when it looked him possible, 444 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 6: she refused to get negative and speak defeat. When gahyes, 445 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 6: I ask is everything okay? She could have said, no, 446 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 6: I'm in the midst of a great tragedy. I'm facing 447 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 6: the biggest challenge of my life. Nobody would have faulted 448 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 6: her for that. But this lady chose to speak faith, 449 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 6: even though her mind was being bombarded with doubt. She 450 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 6: had a watch over her mouth. She wasn't going to 451 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 6: be snared by her words. When you're hurting, you've been 452 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 6: through a disappointment, you've suffered a loss, you've got to 453 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 6: do like her, say it by faith. 454 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 5: All is well. It may not look well, may not 455 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 5: feel well. 456 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 6: In the natural, you should be complaining, talking about how 457 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 6: bad it is, but instead you're making a declaration of faith. 458 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 5: All is well. That's when the most powerful force in 459 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 5: the universe goes to work. 460 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 6: Friends, God can resurrect dead dreams. He can resurrect a 461 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 6: dead marriage. He can resurrect health that's going down or 462 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 6: a business that's going down. When you get in agreement 463 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 6: with God, all things are possible. You may be facing 464 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 6: a big obstacle. It doesn't look good, but here's a key. 465 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 6: Don't talk about the size of your problem. Talk about 466 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 6: the size of your God. God stopped the Son for Joshua. 467 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 6: He parted the Red Sea for the Israelites. He breathed 468 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 6: new life into this little boy. He can turn your 469 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 6: situation around as well. He can make a way even 470 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 6: though you don't see away. My challenge today is don't 471 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 6: let your negative words stop what God wants to do. 472 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 6: If you can't say anything positive, zip it up. You 473 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 6: may think it, but don't give it life. 474 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 5: By speaking it out. 475 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 6: Your healing, your vindication, your promotion is right up in 476 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 6: front of you. Like Jeremiah, God has already ordained you. 477 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 5: To do something great. 478 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 6: Put a watch over your mouth, pay attention to what 479 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 6: you're saying. 480 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 5: For some of you. 481 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 6: When you make this adjustment, God is going to release 482 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 6: promises that have been delayed. What you've been praying about, 483 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 6: breaking that addiction, meeting the right person, getting healthy again, 484 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 6: starting that business. Suddenly things are going to fall into place. 485 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 6: You're going to see God's favor in a new way. 486 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 6: He's going to open up new doors of opportunity. I 487 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 6: believe in declare, like Joshua and the Israelites, every wall 488 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 6: that's holding you back is about to come crumbling down. 489 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 6: You and your children will make it into your promised 490 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 6: land if you receive it. Can you say man today, 491 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 6: for we never like to close our broadcast without giving 492 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 6: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 493 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 6: Would you pray with me? Just say Lord, Jesus, I'll 494 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 6: repent of my sins.
