1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Always a joy to have you with us. We're praying

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: for you guys. Check out my new book. It's called

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: Power Up, a twenty one day action plan to transformative

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: and thinking. You can all help you think great thoughts

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: and just live a victorious life. But if you can

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: check it out on the wind, it's so great having

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: you with us.

8
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: Enjoy the podcast. God bless you. It's great to be

9
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 2: with you today, and I hope you'll stay connected with

10
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: us during the week through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel,

11
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: social media. We'll keep you encouraged and inspired. I like

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: to start with something funny, and I heard about this

13
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: little girl. She asked her mother how the human race

14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: got started, and her mother explained how God created Adam

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: and Eve. They had children, on and on. Here we

16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: are today. A few days later, she asked her father

17
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: the same question. He explained, how many years ago there

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: were monkeys. Little by little they became more like people.

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: Here we are confused. She went back to her mother, said, Mom,

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: you said God created peace. Dad said, we came from monkeys.

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: How can that be? The mother said, all, honey, that's easy.

22
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: I told you about my side of the family. Dad

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: told you about his say it like you mean it.

24
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

28
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

29
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: to talk to you today about promotion in the problem.

31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: None of us like problems and things that come against us,

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: people that are not fair, trouble at work. It's easy

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: to get discouraged and lose our passion. Why is this happening?

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: But God won't allow a difficulty unless he has a

35
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: purpose for it. He may not have sent the trouble,

36
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: but he knows how to use it to your advantage.

37
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: On the other side of every problem is promotion. The

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: difficulty feels like a setback, but really it's a setup

39
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 2: for God to do something new in your life. When

40
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: God wanted to promote David, bring him out of the

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: shepherd's fields, what did he do? Send him a good break,

42
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: a friend to help him out, open a new door. No,

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: God sent him a problem. Goliath was standing before David,

44
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: a giant twice his size. David could have thought, God,

45
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: you said I was going to do great things. You

46
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: said you'd show me favor. Why am I facing this giant?

47
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: David understood with that problem came promotion. On the other

48
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: side of that difficulty was a new level of his destiny.

49
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: You have to go through it to get to it.

50
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: Some promotion only comes through adversity, through closed doors, through

51
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: things that are not fair. David went out and defeated Goliath,

52
00:02:54,200 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: and instantly his life changed. New doors opened. He had respect, influence,

53
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: favor that he'd never seen. What took David to the

54
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: throne a problem. Don't complain about the problem. You can't

55
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: reach your potential without problems. When you understand that the

56
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: problem doesn't come by itself, that there is promotion in

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: every problem, then you'll keep a good attitude. God, I

58
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: don't like this problem. I'm uncomfortable, but I know you're

59
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: in control. You're ordering my steps now. I'm not just

60
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: going to come out. I'm going to come out stronger, promoted,

61
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: better than I was before. Sometimes the promotion is you

62
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: developed a greater trust in God. You learned that you

63
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: can make it through things that you thought would take

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: you under you saw the faithfulness of God. You felt

65
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: him sustaining you, strengthening you, making ways where you didn't

66
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: see a way. Your faith grew, Your spiritual muscles got stronger,

67
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: your character was developed. Every time you come through a challenge,

68
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: that's fuel for your faith. God is preparing you for

69
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: greater things. The next time you face a problem like that,

70
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: you'll think this is no big deal. I've seen God

71
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: take me through this in the past, and I know

72
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: he'll take me through at this time. See, I've learned.

73
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: The bigger the problem, the bigger your destiny. The bigger

74
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: the challenge, the bigger the promotion. God doesn't send big

75
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: problems to people with small futures. God didn't give David

76
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 2: a normal sized problem. He didn't face someone his height,

77
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: with his training, his experience. Goliath stood nine feet tall.

78
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: He was the champion of the Philistine army. The tip

79
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: of his spear weighed fifteen pounds. The scripture says he

80
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: wore gold leggings. He was ahead of his time. That's

81
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: where my brother Paul got that idea. But Joel, I've

82
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: got big problems. This sickness looks permanent. My child is

83
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,119
Speaker 2: way off course. These people it were holding me down.

84
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: The size of your problem is an indication of the

85
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: size of your future. The enemy wouldn't be fighting you

86
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: so hard if he didn't know something amazing was in

87
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 2: front of you. Don't be discouraged because you have big challenges.

88
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: Have a new perspective that means God has something big

89
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: in your future, big breakthroughs, big opportunities, big victories. If

90
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: you could see the promotion on the other side of

91
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: those problems, if you could see the healing, the favor,

92
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: the fulfillment, you wouldn't be discouraged. You would go through

93
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: that difficulty in faith praising when you could be complaining,

94
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: thanking God that he's fighting your battles, knowing that it's

95
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: all a set up for new levels of your destiny.

96
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: Are you stressed over a problem, losing sleep over a difficulty,

97
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: when in fact God allowed it so he can show

98
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: his favor in a greater way. Without Goliath, David would

99
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: have never take in the throne. The problem served the purpose.

100
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: God knows what he's doing. He hasn't allowed anything in

101
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: your life that He's not going to use for your good.

102
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: It may not be good, may not be fair. I'm

103
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: not saying we're going to like it. I'm saying to

104
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: trust him that there is a blessing disguised in that difficulty,

105
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: that there is promotion attached to that problem. I know

106
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: at the time we can't see it all. We know

107
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: it's a bad break, it's a disappointment. They treated me wrong.

108
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 2: The door closed, the medical report wasn't good. God is

109
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 2: not through working. You don't know what he's up to

110
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: right now. You keep doing the right thing, having an

111
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: attitude of faith, and your time is coming. You're going

112
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: to see the faithfulness of God. You're going to look

113
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: back and say, Wow, God. If I had not had

114
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: that problem, I wouldn't be where I am, If that

115
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: door had not closed, if those people had not done

116
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: me wrong, I wouldn't have seen the blessing and the

117
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 2: favor that you've shown me. A few years after I

118
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 2: started ministering, the church began to grow and we needed

119
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: a larger auditorium. My father said he would never move

120
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: the church. We looked for property around the original location.

121
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: We found one hundred acre tract of land right off

122
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: the freeway about two miles away. Seemed perfect for the

123
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: big sign that said for sale. We talked to the

124
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: owner and told him we wanted to purchase it. He

125
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: said that it had been on the market for twenty

126
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: years and he had never had one offer. I thought, wow, God,

127
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: you saved this property just for us. We were so excited.

128
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: He told us we could do our soil samples and

129
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: preliminary drawings while we got the contract drawn up. A

130
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: couple of months later we went to sign the contract.

131
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: We had an eight o'clock appointment. We arrived at seven

132
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: forty five. His secretary came out and said, sorry, the

133
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: owner sold the property last night. I couldn't believe it

134
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: didn't keep his word. I was so discouraged. I went

135
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: home and told Victoria. She said, listen here, Joel. That

136
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: means God has something better. We're going to trust him.

137
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: He hadn't brought us this far to leave us. She

138
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: started preaching one of my messages. I didn't want to

139
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: hear that. I wanted her to be depressed with me.

140
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: Misery loves company. It's good to have friends that pull

141
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: you up and not join you in defeat. A few

142
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: months later we found another large tract of land. This

143
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: seemed even better, had more access to it. With the

144
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: owners found out, they told the people that owned the

145
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: property on one side. They called and said they wanted

146
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: to donate ten acres to us. Now I knew it

147
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: was God. People were giving us property. We went to

148
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: close on thee hundred acres and the same thing happened.

149
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: They sold it the day before. I thought, God, this

150
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: is a big problem. There are no more large tracts

151
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: of land. We're stuck. We have no room to grow.

152
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: I didn't see any options. But just because we run

153
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 2: out of options doesn't mean God has run out of options.

154
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: He won't let you get in a problem that he

155
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 2: can't bring you out of. The reason it's not working

156
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: out your way is because God has something better. Six

157
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: months later, a friend called hadn't spoken to him in

158
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: a long time. He said, Joel, the Houston Rockets basketball

159
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: team is moving out of the Compact Center. You should

160
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 2: try to get that for your church. When I heard that,

161
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: something came alive on the inside. I called the mayor.

162
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: He was a friend of my parents, and I was

163
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: so nervous. I told him what I wanted. Didn't know

164
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: how he would respond. He said, Joel, I think Lakewood

165
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: having the Compact Center would be great for our city.

166
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: I nearly passed out. Things fell into place, and three

167
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: years later we had the building. Never dream we could

168
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: be here. This was far beyond what I had in mind.

169
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: Sometimes God closes doors because you're thinking too small. He

170
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: doesn't let your plans work out because He has much

171
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: bigger plans. You were hoping to get that new position,

172
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: move up one notch. God is about to catapult you ahead.

173
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: If you're believing to feel a little bit better, God's

174
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 2: going to heal you completely. You're hoping your child will

175
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: just stay out of trouble. God's going to use him

176
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: to do great things, to leave his mark. Now, don't

177
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: be discouraged because you're still in the problem. Things aren't improving,

178
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: doors are closing, people aren't changing. Those lies will start whispering.

179
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: It's never going to get better. You'll never get well.

180
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: Never break this addiction, never accomplish that dream. No, that

181
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: problem didn't show up alone. That problem came with a purpose,

182
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: with a promotion, with a blessing. You keep honoring God,

183
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: and you're going to come out of the problem into

184
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: the promotion, out of the sickness into health, out of trouble,

185
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: into peace, out of struggle, into freedom, out of lack,

186
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: into abundance. The enemy send it to harm you, but

187
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: God has already turned it to your advantage. Now, don't

188
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: get tired of doing the right thing. Don't let doubt

189
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 2: what's not happening, what's not fair, talk you out of

190
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: the promotion. Keep believing, keep praying, keep expecting. You're on

191
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: the verge of seeing God show out in your life.

192
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: That problem is not permanent. The problem is a sign

193
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: that promotion is coming. You're about to see breakthroughs, restoration,

194
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: dreams coming to pass, divine connections. God said in Psalm fifty,

195
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: trust me in times of trouble, and I will rescue you,

196
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 2: and you will give me glory. He didn't say trust

197
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 2: me and I'll keep you from trouble. Trust me and

198
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: you won't have any difficulties. He said, trust me when

199
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: you're in trouble. Trust me when things don't make sense,

200
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: Trust me when the medical report is not good. Trust

201
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: me when a loved one doesn't make it. If you'll

202
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: trust him, God says, I will rescue you and you

203
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: will give me glory. God is not going to leave

204
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 2: you in trouble, leave you in heartache, leave you in dysfunction.

205
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 2: That is not how your story ends. Don't believe the

206
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 2: lies that say it's permanent. God sees what you're going through,

207
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: and he's about to rescue you. He's about to turn

208
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 2: things around. Chains that have held you back are being broken.

209
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: Difficulties it look like they'll never improve. You're about to

210
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: see a suddenly, a breakthrough, a healing, a promotion. It's

211
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: going to be unusual, uncommon. You couldn't make it happen.

212
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: You will know it's the end of God. When my

213
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer in nineteen eighty one,

214
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 2: she was in a time of great trouble. She had

215
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: a big problem. But in that trouble, she chose to

216
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: trust God. She believed that he could restore health back

217
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: into her, and instead of being depressed worrying all day,

218
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: she would go through the house quoting scriptures, Father, thank

219
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: you that the number of my days you will fulfill,

220
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: that I will live and not die, and declare the

221
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: works of the Lord against all odds. With no medical

222
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: treatment available, God rescued her from that trouble. He made

223
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: a way where we didn't see away. For the last

224
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: forty years she's been giving God glory. That big problem

225
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: came with a big promotion Her story of healing has

226
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: helped people around the world. She's eighty eight years old

227
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: now still praying for people every week. The enemy would

228
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: have been smarter to leave her alone. But God will

229
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: make the enemy pay what was meant for your harm.

230
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: He'll turn it to your advantage, says. He will rescue you,

231
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: and you will give him great glory. The reason you'll

232
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: give him glory is because when he brings you out,

233
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: it will be better than you've ever imagined. I wanted

234
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: to buy property to build a new auditorium. God gave

235
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: us an auditorium that was already built on the busiest

236
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: freeway in our city. You may be facing a problem today.

237
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: My encouragement is that problem didn't come alone. There is

238
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: promotion attached to it. God has the final say trust

239
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: him not to just make it through, not just survive,

240
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: but have a new perspective. Father, I know this problem

241
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: means I'm about to see a new level of my destiny. Lord,

242
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: I believe I trust you in this time of trouble. See,

243
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: I would have never seen the Compact Center without those

244
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: doors closing. You could say the Compact was attached to

245
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: a problem. My mother would have never impacted so many

246
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: people without that challenge in her health, David would have

247
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: never become king without Goliath. Who knows where that problem

248
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: is leading you. You've had some closed doors, things haven't

249
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: worked out. Who knows what doors God is about to open.

250
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: You have some giants facing a sickness, set back in

251
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: your business, a person walked out of your life. Who

252
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: knows what kind of favor, blessings, fulfillment is headed your way.

253
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: The setback is a setup for God to show out

254
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: in your life. Now trust him in the trouble. Now

255
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: when you get out. The test is when you're in it,

256
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: nothing looks like it's going to change. That's when you

257
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: have to dig down deep, say God, I don't like it,

258
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: but I know this problem is not hereby itself, that

259
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: there is promotion on the other side. So Lord, help

260
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: me to believe, help to say in faith. See, we

261
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: all face things that we don't understand, things that don't

262
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: seem fair. But I've learned God will not mismanage your life.

263
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: He will not allow hardships and bad breaks that don't

264
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: have any purpose. He's not just sitting back saying, oh, man,

265
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: can't believe that happened to you. Too bad He's ordering

266
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: your steps. Nothing happens without his permission. He's promised that

267
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: all things will work together for your good. Sure there

268
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: are things we don't understand, things that don't make sense.

269
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: I can't explain it, but I can tell you if

270
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: you'll stay in faith, not get bitter, just keep doing

271
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: the right thing. Over time, you'll see it all come together.

272
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: The scripture puts it this way. Since the Lord is

273
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: directing our steps, why do we try to figure out

274
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: everything that happens along the way. There will be plenty

275
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: of things that happen that don't make sense. If you

276
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: try to figure it out, you'll get confused, discouraged. Put

277
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: it in God's hands. God, this problem doesn't make sense

278
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: to me, But I believe that you have a purpose

279
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 2: for it, that when it all comes together, I will

280
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 2: give you great glory. This is what three Hebrew teenagers

281
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: did in the scripture. They wouldn't bow down to King

282
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 2: nebuchaon Nezar's golden idoling He made a decree that no

283
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: one could worship any god except his god. He didn't

284
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 2: believe in Jehovah. He was so upset he threatened to

285
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: have them thrown into a fiery furnace. They were doing

286
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: the right thing, honoring God, not compromising, and look what happens.

287
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 2: They have a big problem. Sometimes you have trouble not

288
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: because you're doing something wrong, but because you're doing something right.

289
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 2: When you honor God, it stirs up the enemy. It

290
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: will stir up jealousy, resentment, anger, critical spirits in people

291
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: that don't honor God. It's not so much they don't

292
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 2: like you. They don't like the blessing and favor that's

293
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: on your life. The good news is they cannot stop

294
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: what God has ordained. God being for you is more

295
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: powerful than any force that is against you. He has

296
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: you in the palm of his hand. Nothing can snatch

297
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 2: you away. You may get thrown into a furnace, but

298
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 2: God can make you fireproof. He controls the universe. These

299
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: teenagers weren't worried, they weren't panicking. They said to the king,

300
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 2: we know our God will deliver us, but even if

301
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: he doesn't, we're still not going to bow down. When

302
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: you have a made up mind like that, God, I'm

303
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: believing that you're gonna keep me from this trouble, that

304
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: this door will open, that these people will treat me right.

305
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: But even if it doesn't go my way, I'm still

306
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 2: not gonna get discouraged. I'm still not gonna complain. I'm

307
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 2: still going to give you praise. That kind of attitude

308
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: cannot be defeated. The king was so furious he had

309
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: the guards heat up the furnace seven times hotter than normal.

310
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 2: They already had a big problem, already didn't look good.

311
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: Now the fire was hotter than ever. Sometimes God will

312
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: let the odds be against you in a greater way

313
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: on purpose, so when he turns things around, it's a

314
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 2: bigger miracle, so everyone will see his favor on your life.

315
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 2: The guards tied up the teenagers, bound their hands and feet,

316
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 2: and threw them into the furnace. They fell to the ground.

317
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: It was so hot that the guards were instantly killed.

318
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: King Nebuka Neezzar was watching from a distance. He noticed

319
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 2: the three Hebrew teenagers stood up. He couldn't believe it.

320
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 2: He said to his staff, didn't we throw three men

321
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: in bound? I see four men loosed, and one looks

322
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 2: like the son of God. He ran over to the

323
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: furnace window and shouted, shad rak niejak, a bit to go,

324
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 2: servants of the Most High God. A few minutes earlier,

325
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: he didn't believe in the most High God. Sometimes your

326
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: problems is so God can change other people's minds. God

327
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: can see the big picture, and he'll use you to

328
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 2: demonstrate his power, his favor, his blessing so others will believe.

329
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: They walked out of the fire and everyone gathered around.

330
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: Verse twenty one says they noticed not a hair on

331
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 2: their head was singed, none of their clothing was burned.

332
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 2: They didn't even smell like smoke. God knows how to

333
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 2: bring you out of difficulties to where you don't look

334
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: like what you've been through. Nobody would ever know you've

335
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: been through the trouble, through the sickness, through the breakup,

336
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: through the pandemic. You're so blessed, happy, healthy, fulfilled, generous.

337
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: Nobody can tell you were ever in the fire. You

338
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 2: don't even have to smell of smoke. Nebuchannezzar said in

339
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 2: verse twenty eight, Praise be to the God of Shadraq,

340
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: Nieshak and a Bendigo. Now he's worshiping the God he

341
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: didn't believe in a few hours before this could be

342
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: the end of the story. God protected these teenagers. God

343
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 2: changed the mind of the king. That's all a great miracle.

344
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 2: But Verse thirty says, then the king promoted Shadraq, knee Jack,

345
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: and Abeddigo to much higher positions in Babylon. Hidden in

346
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 2: that problem was promotion. They couldn't see it at the time. God,

347
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 2: this king's coming against us. God, these people at work

348
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 2: are not fair dealing with this sickness. I had a

349
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: set back in my finances. We would be grateful if

350
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: God just brought us out. But what I want us

351
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: to see is there is promotion attached to the problem.

352
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 2: God is not going to just bring you out, but

353
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 2: that difficulty is setting you up for new levels. Even

354
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 2: with this pandemic. In a sense, they're all in a problem.

355
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: There's uncertainty, work is disrupted, people fighting illnesses, things have

356
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: slowed down. God is not going to just bring you out,

357
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 2: but there is promotion in the pandemic. God wouldn't let

358
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: the whole world be impacted just to get us back

359
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 2: where we were. Greater things are coming. New doors are

360
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 2: going to open. Family members that are off course are

361
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 2: going to turn around. Areas you've struggled in year after year.

362
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: There's going to be supernatural breakthrough. Chains are being loosed.

363
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 2: Like these teenagers. The big problem means God has big

364
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: favor coming, big blessings, big influence. I keep doing the

365
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: right thing. Don't bow down to compromise, don't give into

366
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: doubt fear. It's never going to happen though. God's going

367
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 2: to do something that not only amazes you, but other

368
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: people are going to see the goodness of God on

369
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 2: your life. Like Nebukanezzar. They're going to acknowledge that you

370
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: serve the most high God. How did it happen through

371
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: a problem? Don't complain about the problem. The problem has

372
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 2: a purpose, and the problem has promotion. Psalm sixty six

373
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: says we went through the fire and through the flood,

374
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: but you brought us to a place of great abundance. See,

375
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 2: you have to go through the fire, through the flood

376
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: to get to the abundance. On the other side of

377
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: the fire, you'll see promotion. On the other side of

378
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: that closed door, You'll see your compact center. On the

379
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: other side of that sickness, you'll see greater favor, greater anointing,

380
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: greater ministry. Like my mom, don't get stuck in the fire.

381
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: Why did this happen? I don't understand it. Joel, I

382
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 2: was doing the right thing though. The right attitude is.

383
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 2: I may be in this fire, but I know it's

384
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 2: only temporary. It looks like a setback, but I know

385
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 2: it's a setup. Abundance is coming, healing is coming, Favor

386
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 2: is This is what happened with the Israelites. They were

387
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: at a dead end at the Red Sea, and Pharaoh

388
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 2: and his army was chasing them. They had nowhere to go.

389
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: They were praying, God, deliver us, do something, don't let

390
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 2: us be recaptured. The scripture says, a strong east wind

391
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: begin to blow. That was a nice way of saying

392
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: a storm was coming. They were already in a problem,

393
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: about to be recaptured. What did God do? Send them

394
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 2: another problem? Dark clouds started rolling in, thunder started roaring,

395
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: debris was hurling through the air. I'm sure they thought, man,

396
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 2: just our luck. We're already in this problem. Now bad weather,

397
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 2: Now this storm is going to kill us. What they

398
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 2: didn't realize is that east wind, that storm they thought

399
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 2: would stop them, was sent by God to blow back

400
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 2: the Red Sea, to force those waters to open up

401
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: so they could go through on the storm was a

402
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 2: part of the miracle. The storm was what not only

403
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: going to bring them out, but the storm was going

404
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: to defeat their enemies. God has a purpose for their problem.

405
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: They couldn't see it at the time. Maybe the east

406
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: wind is blowing in your life. You're asking God to

407
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 2: help you. Seems like the problem is getting worse. You

408
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 2: don't see how it can work out. You attempted to live, discouraged, overwhelmed.

409
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 2: You don't know what God is up to. His ways

410
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 2: are not our ways. What you think is another storm,

411
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: another problem can be what God uses to make a way,

412
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 2: to open a path, to do something that you've never seen.

413
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 2: We don't like the storms. The thunder is loud, things

414
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: are blowing around. But God is in control of the winds.

415
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: He's in control of your circumstances. God sent these strong

416
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: east winds not to harm them, but to blow back

417
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: the waters. What looks like it's going to defeat you,

418
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 2: God is going to use to move you forward like

419
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 2: these people. You're going to look back and say, Wow,

420
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: that east wind wasn't what I thought. That storm looked

421
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: like it is going to stop me, but God used

422
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: it to promote me. God is going to do something

423
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 2: that you're not expecting. You didn't see it coming. Suddenly

424
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 2: your health turns around. Suddenly that door opens, Suddenly the

425
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: right person shows up. You've been through the fire, through

426
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: the flood. Now get ready for abundance. Enemies that have

427
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: been chasing you are being defeated. Depression, addictions, trouble at work,

428
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 2: health issues. That storm is coming to an end. You're

429
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: going to see the hand of God doing unusual, uncommon

430
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 2: things because you trust him in the trouble. I believe

431
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: and declare He's about to rescue you. You're going to

432
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: have favor in the fire. Promotion is the pandemic strength

433
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: in the storm. When you see what God does, you

434
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 2: will give him great glory in Jesus' name. And if

435
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 2: you receive it, can you say amen? Today? I'd like

436
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord

437
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

438
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I

439
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that

440
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 2: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. We'd love

441
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: to send you some free information on your new walk

442
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: with the Lord. You can text the number, go to

443
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 2: the website. But I hope you'll get into a good

444
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 2: Bible based church and keep God first place.

445
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 3: Our negative thinking can short circuit God's power and blessing

446
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 3: in our lives. When you say, I always seem to worry,

447
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 3: I can't forgive what was done to me. I pray,

448
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 3: but it feels like God doesn't hear. I won't have

449
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 3: enough to for me and my family. How do you

450
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 3: overcome this type of negative thinking that limits you from

451
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 3: God's best.

452
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 2: Our thinking sets the limits for our life. Every morning.

453
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: You have to power up your mind, get it going

454
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: in the right direction, but dwelling on what God says

455
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: about you. When you think thoughts of faith, hope, and victory,

456
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: you'll tap into blessing and favor that belongs to you. Now,
