He was 59 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 5: driving down the road when he got pulled over by 60 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 5: a policeman. The officer came to his window and smelled alcohol. 61 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 5: He saw a thermist and said, sir, what are you drinking. 62 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 5: The minister said. 63 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 4: Just water. 64 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 5: Officer, he asked to see the thermist. He took one 65 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 5: sniff and said, this smells like wine to me. The 66 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 5: minister said, what do you know? Jesus did it again? 67 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. 68 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 5: This is my vibe. I am what it says I am. 69 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 70 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 71 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess my mind 72 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 73 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 5: the same in Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 74 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 5: to talk to you today about keep speaking victory. Our 75 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 5: words are setting the direction for our lives. If you 76 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 5: want to know what you're going to be like five 77 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 5: years from now, listen to what you're saying about yourself. Well, 78 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 5: I'll never get well, I'll never break this addiction. I'll 79 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 5: never meet the right person you are prophesying your future. 80 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 5: You can't speak defeat and have victory. You can't talk 81 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 5: sickness and have health. You can't speak lack and struggle 82 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 5: and have abundance. The scripture says you will eat the 83 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 5: fruit of your words. Pay attention to what you're saying 84 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 5: about yourself, your family, your finance, says your health. You're 85 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 5: going to become what you're continually saying. That's why it's 86 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 5: so important to get in a habit of speaking victory 87 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 5: over your life all through the day. I am blessed, 88 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 5: i am strong, i am healthy, I'm surrounded by favor. 89 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 4: Something good is going to happen to me. 90 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 5: The fruit of those words are blessing, favor, abundance, And 91 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 5: it's not enough to just think it. We give life 92 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 5: to our faith by speaking it out. 93 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 4: When you're in tough times. 94 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 5: You can complain, talk about the problem. I can't believe 95 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 5: this happened. Or you can say, Father, thank you that 96 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 5: you're fighting my battles. Thank you that what was meant 97 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 5: for harm, you're turning to my advantage. Thank you that 98 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 5: you always caused me to triumph, that all come out 99 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 5: of this better than I was before. That's prophesying victory. 100 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 5: That's prophesying a breakthrough. Don't use your words to describe 101 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 5: the situation, use your words to change the situation. Well, 102 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 5: I'll never get out of this problem. You're inviting defeat. 103 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 5: I'm not that talented. You're inviting limitations. I'll never accomplish 104 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 5: my dreams. 105 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 4: I don't have the connections. 106 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 5: You're inviting mediocrity. 107 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 4: You need to send out some new invitations. 108 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 5: You may be struggling with depression. Your report should be 109 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 5: this is only temporary. This is not who I am. 110 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 5: I am free, I am happy. I have a bright future. 111 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 4: The dream may look too big, but. 112 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 5: I know with God, all things are possible. New doors 113 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 5: are about to open, good breaks are looking for me, 114 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 5: divine connections, the right people are headed my way, Paul 115 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 5: said in Ephesians. Let everything you say be good and helpful, 116 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 5: so that your words will be an encouragement to those 117 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 5: that hear them. One person that hears your words is you. 118 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 5: They go out of your mouth and back into your 119 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 5: own ears. If you hear them long enough, they'll take 120 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 5: root in your spirit. You believe what you say about 121 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 5: yourself more than what anyone else says. 122 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 4: And there's nothing more. 123 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 5: Powerful than you speak in victory over your own life. 124 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 5: When my father went to be with the Lord and 125 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 5: I stepped up to pastor the church, every thought told 126 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 5: me that I couldn't Minister Joey. You don't have the experience, 127 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 5: you're not qualified, You're not that talented. One thing I've 128 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 5: learned is to not verbalize the negative. Don't give those 129 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 5: thoughts life by speaking them out. 130 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 4: And instead of talking about how I. 131 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 5: Felt insecure, unqualified, intimidated, I said what God said about me. 132 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 4: I can do all things through Christ. 133 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 5: I am strong in the Lord, I'm equipped, empowered, anointed. 134 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 5: The whole time I was saying that I didn't feel confident, 135 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 5: I didn't feel qualified, I felt just the opposite. But 136 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 5: as I kept speaking victory, as I kept calling myself 137 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 5: who God says I am, it took root on the inside. 138 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 5: Over time, I started to feel strong, confident, well able. 139 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 5: I started to see favor new doors opening, God taking 140 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 5: me where I've never imagined. 141 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 4: What happened. I ate the fruit of my words. 142 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 5: It may not happen overnight, but you have to keep 143 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 5: speaking victory, Keep calling yourself healthy, Keep declaring your children 144 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 5: are mighty in the land, Keep declaring those dreams are 145 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 5: coming to pass James three. It compares the tongue to 146 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 5: a rudder of a ship. Verse four says, although a 147 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 5: ship is large and driven by strong winds, it is 148 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 5: steered by a small rudder wherever the pilot wants it 149 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 5: to go. 150 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 4: It's the same way with the tongue. Even though it's 151 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 4: a small part of the body. 152 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 5: It's steering your life. What you're saying is determining which. 153 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 4: Direction you go. The good news is you have control 154 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 4: over the rudder, control your tongue. 155 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 5: Are you sending your words out in the direction you 156 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 5: want your life to go? 157 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 4: I don't think I'm going to get well. 158 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 5: The medical report doesn't look good. That's the wrong direction. 159 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 5: Why don't you say what God says about you? God 160 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 5: is restoring health back in the knee by his stripes. 161 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 4: I am healed. 162 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 5: I will live and not die. My child's been off 163 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 5: course so long, I don't think he'll ever make good decisions. 164 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 5: Change your rudder. You're headed the wrong way. Father, Thank 165 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 5: you that my children are mighty in the land. You 166 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 5: said the seed of the righteous, My seed is blessed. 167 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 5: As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Well, 168 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 5: I don't see how I can get ahead, Joel. Nobody 169 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 5: in my family's been successful. This pandemic's going to put 170 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 5: my business under. When you talk defeat, you're headed toward defeat. 171 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 5: When you talk failure, lack, mediocrity, you're headed that way. 172 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 4: I'm praying that God will help me. He will help you, but. 173 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 5: You control the rudder. You're setting the direction with your words. 174 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 5: Are you in agreement with God? He said you're blessed? 175 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 4: Are you saying something else? 176 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 5: He said, you're fearfully and wonderfully made, a masterpiece, crowned 177 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 5: with favor. Are you calling yourself inferior. 178 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 4: Weak, not attractive? Start declaring what he promised. 179 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 5: Father, you said, even in famine, the righteous will have 180 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 5: more than enough. You said, what I put my hands 181 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 5: to would prosper and succeed. When someone asks you how 182 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 5: you're doing. Don't go through all your troubles. 183 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 4: How bad it is. Keep your ship going in the 184 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 4: right direction. 185 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 5: I'm blessed, I'm strong, I'm valuable, I'm favored. 186 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 4: Think about a ship. 187 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 5: It can be carrying very valuable cargo, oil. 188 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,119 Speaker 4: Minerals, equipment. 189 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 5: But all that valuable cargo is at the mercy of 190 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 5: the small rudder of the ship. If the captain didn't 191 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 5: steer the ship the proper, if the rudder wasn't in 192 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 5: the right position, the ship would never make it to 193 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 5: the intended destination. 194 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 4: All that cargo would go to waste. 195 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 5: In the same way, you are carrying valuable cargo. When 196 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 5: God breeded his life into you, he put gifts, talents, potential. 197 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 4: You have seeds of greatness. 198 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 5: You are destined to leave your mark to take your 199 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 5: family to a new level. The question is not are 200 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 5: you equipped, are you favored? 201 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 4: Do you have what it takes? Your ship is fully loaded. 202 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 4: The question is are you. 203 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 5: Going to keep your rudder going in the right direction? 204 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 5: Are you going to speak victory, abundance, new levels or 205 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 5: are you going to talk like your average I can't 206 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 5: get ahead, I never get any good breaks. This addiction 207 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 5: has been in my family for years. You're not being 208 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 5: limited by your circumstances, You're being limited by your words. 209 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 5: Your rudder is going in the wrong direction. Once you speak, 210 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 5: you're moving toward When you speak victory, you're moving toward victory. 211 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 4: When you speak health, you're moving toward health. 212 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 5: When you speak overflow more than enough, you're moving toward abundance. 213 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 4: Here's the key. 214 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 5: You have to speak it before you see it. This 215 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 5: is what faith is all about. The Scripture says, let 216 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 5: the weak say I am strong. You may not feel strong, 217 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 5: but when you say I am strong, you're moving toward strength. 218 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 4: You may be fighting an illness. 219 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 5: But when you say I'm healthy, you're moving toward health. 220 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 5: Perhaps you feel stuck in your career, seems like you've 221 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 5: reached your limits. But when you say new doors are 222 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 5: about to open, something good is going to happen to me. 223 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 5: God has taken me from glory to glory. You're moving 224 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 5: toward at new levels favor something that you've never seen. 225 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 5: Are you steering your ship in the direction you want 226 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 5: your life to go. Is your rudder your tom taking 227 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 5: you the blessing increase abundance or are you talking about 228 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 5: what's not working out? How you don't feel that talented. 229 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 5: The obstacles are too big. That's going to keep. 230 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 4: You from your destiny. 231 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 5: In the scripture, God told Jeremiah that he was going 232 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 5: to become a great prophet and speak to nations. 233 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 4: But Jeremiah was young and afraid. The first thing he 234 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 4: said was, God, I can't speak to nations. I'm too young. 235 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 4: I wouldn't know what to say. 236 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 5: God could have said, Jeremiah, understand this seems over your head. 237 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: Don't worry. 238 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 5: I'm going to help you. No, God said Jeremiah, say 239 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 5: not that you're too young. God told him to zip 240 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 5: it up. 241 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 4: He knew if. 242 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 5: Jeremiah kept speaking those negative words, telling himself that he 243 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 5: was too young, not qualified, didn't have what it takes, 244 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 5: that he would never become who he was created to be. 245 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 5: Your tongue is the rudder for your life. It's determining 246 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 5: the next time you're tempted to say something negative about yourself, 247 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 5: your future, your children, your finances. 248 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 4: Zip it up. 249 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 5: Don't steer yourself toward defeat. Say not, you're too young. 250 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 5: Say not you can't get well. Say not you'll never 251 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 5: meet the right person. Say not you can't accomplish your dreams. 252 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 5: God wouldn't have given. 253 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 4: Them to you if you weren't well able. 254 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 5: Verse nine says God reached out his hands and touched 255 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 5: Jeremiah's lips and said, I. 256 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 4: Have put my words into your mouth. 257 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 5: God was saying, in effect, Jeremiah, say what I say 258 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 5: about you. Don't say how you feel, don't say what 259 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 5: the experts say, don't say what it looks like. 260 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 4: Start saying what God says about you. 261 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 5: God said in Psalms, he will crown the year with 262 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 5: a bountiful harvest. 263 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 4: Even the hard. 264 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 5: Places will overflow with abundance. You can go around saying. 265 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 4: This is such a tough I can't wait till it's over. 266 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 5: Or you can say, Father, thank you that even in 267 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 5: hard times I will have more than enough. Thank you 268 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 5: that you're an overflow God, that you're not limited by 269 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 5: my circumstances. 270 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 4: You're not limited by the economy. Lord. 271 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 5: I thank you that I'm blessed in a down year. 272 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 5: I'm favored in a famine. I'm prosperous in a pandemic. 273 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 4: I overflow. 274 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 5: I have more than enough joy, more than enough strength, more. 275 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 4: Than enough health. 276 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 5: That's steering your ship toward increase. Steering your ship toward overflowing. 277 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 4: I talked to a young lady. 278 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 5: She was very successful in her career, but when the 279 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 5: pandemic hit things started to slow down. She was concerned 280 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 5: about how it was going to work out. She heard 281 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 5: me talking about how this was going to be an 282 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 5: overflow year, how the economy is not our source, but 283 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 5: God is our source. Something came alive on the inside. 284 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 5: She started saying that all through the day, repeating it 285 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 5: under her breath again and again, Lord, thank you that 286 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 5: the economy is not my source, but you are my source. 287 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 5: Thank you for an overflow year. It looked just the opposite. 288 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 5: Things were going down, decreasing, Yet she was declaring increase, 289 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 5: declaring favor, talking about the greatness of our God. What 290 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 5: was she doing steering her ship in the right direction 291 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 5: In difficult times, It's easy to talk about the problem, complain. 292 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 4: Be negative. 293 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 5: That's when you have to dig down deep and say no, 294 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 5: I'm going to keep speaking victory. God, You're my provider, 295 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 5: you're my healer, You're my waymaker. I may not see 296 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 5: how it can happen, but I know you're still in control. 297 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 5: She and her husband decided to start their own business. 298 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 5: Against all odds, it took off more than they ever imagined. 299 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 4: They just closed on their first house. 300 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 5: Their business continues to increase, she said, in the midst 301 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 5: of all this uncertainty, with people afraid, struggling, we've seen 302 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 5: favor in ways we've never dreamed. That's what the scripture says, 303 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 5: even in hard times, the righteous will have more than enough. 304 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 5: But I don't think this would have happened if she 305 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 5: would have gone around negative complaining. Pay attention to which 306 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 5: way you're steering your ship, what you're constantly talking about. 307 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 4: You're drawing in. 308 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 5: When you're always bragging on the greatness of our God, 309 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 5: talking about what he can do, declaring what he promised, 310 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 5: you're going to draw. 311 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 4: In blessings, favor increase. 312 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 5: Psalm thirty five says let them continually say, let the 313 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 5: Lord be magnified, who takes pleasure in the prosperity of 314 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 5: his children. 315 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 4: It's interesting that they were supposed to continually say this. 316 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 5: You would think they could say it once twice that 317 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 5: would be enough. But there's something powerful when you go 318 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 5: through the day not talking about how big the problem is, 319 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 5: how your back will probably never stop, how you don't 320 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 5: see how that child's going to turn around, Instead, you're saying, 321 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 5: let God be magnified. Who takes pleasure in prospering me, 322 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 5: who takes pleasure in healing me, who takes pleasure in 323 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 5: favoring me? 324 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 4: Are you taking time to. 325 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 5: Declare God's goodness over your life? Are you speaking victory 326 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 5: over your future. It's not enough to do it every 327 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 5: once in a while. It needs to become a habit. 328 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 5: We're all through the day. We're declaring that we're blessed, 329 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 5: we're strong, we're healthy. When you wake up in the morning, Lord, 330 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 5: thank you for another beautiful day. And Lord, thank you 331 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 5: that something good is going to happen to me today. 332 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 5: Thank you that your favor is surrounding me. Blessings are 333 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 5: chasing me down, Angels are watching over me. That you 334 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 5: being for me is more than the world being against me. 335 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 5: That's setting your rudder in the right direction. You can't 336 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 5: be silent and reach your potential. Nothing happens until you 337 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 5: speak your words. 338 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 4: Give life to your faith. Joshua was said it this way, 339 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 4: this book of the Law. 340 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 5: These promises shall not depart out of your mouth. 341 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 4: You shall meditate on them day and night. Then you 342 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 4: will prosper and have good success. It doesn't say they. 343 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 5: Shouldn't depart out of your mind. If you think positive, 344 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 5: you'll be fine, not depart out of your eyes. If 345 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 5: you read it enough, it says they should not depart 346 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 5: out of your mouth. If you'll keep speaking what God 347 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 5: says about you, then you will have good success. Mark 348 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 5: chapter five. There was a lady that had been sick 349 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 5: for twelve years, and she'd spent all of her money 350 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 5: going to different doctors, but still nothing had helped. One day, 351 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 5: she heard that Jesus was coming through town. The scripture 352 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 5: says she kept saying to herself, when I get to Jesus, 353 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 5: I will be made whole. In the midst of the sickness, 354 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 5: she was profit sighing help all through the day, not 355 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 5: just one time, but she kept saying over it and 356 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 5: over healing is coming, restoration is coming, a breakthrough is coming. 357 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 5: She saw Jesus, but it was very crowded. People were 358 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 5: packed in all around him. She could have been discouraged complained. Instead, 359 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 5: she kept saying, this is my time. Things are about 360 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 5: to change in my favor. As she kept speaking it, 361 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 5: she got closer and closer. She finally reached out and 362 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 5: touched Jesus' rogue instantly she was healed. But notice the principle. 363 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 5: Whatever you're constantly saying. 364 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 4: You're moving toward. 365 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 5: If you're always saying I'll never get out of debt, 366 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 5: you're moving toward struggle lack. If you're saying my marriage 367 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 5: is not going to last we don't get along, you're 368 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 5: moving toward. 369 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 4: Separation, a breakup. 370 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 5: If you're saying I'll never get well, this sickness will 371 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 5: be the end of me. 372 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,239 Speaker 4: You're moving toward defeat and mediocrity. 373 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 5: But if you'll send your words out in a different direction, 374 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 5: your life will go in a different direction. When you 375 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 5: say I am blessed, you're moving toward blessing. When you 376 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 5: say I have the favor of God, you're moving toward increase. 377 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 5: When you say I'm excited about my future, something good 378 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 5: is going to happen to me. You're moving toward new opportunities, 379 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 5: divine connections. Or when you say I'm going to break 380 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 5: this addiction, I am not going to live bound by 381 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 5: this alcohol, by this anger, by this bad habit. 382 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 4: When you say that you're moving toward freedom, breakthroughs, victory. 383 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 5: Pay attention to what you're saying. Your life is going 384 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 5: in that direction. God gave Abraham the promise that his 385 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 5: wife Sarah would have a child. 386 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 4: The problem was they were both way too old. 387 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 5: Abraham was eighty, Sarah was barren, never able to have children. 388 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 4: She had already gone through the change of life. 389 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 5: And sometimes God will give you a promise that seems impossible. 390 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 4: You're too young, too old, you don't. 391 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 5: Have the connections. The medical report's not good. You don't 392 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 5: have to figure out how it's going to happen. Just 393 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 5: get in agreement with God. 394 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 4: Father. 395 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 5: You said that I'm going to have a baby, So Lord, 396 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 5: thank you that my baby. 397 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 4: Is on the way. 398 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 5: The mistake we make too often is we send our 399 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 5: words out in the wrong direction. I can't have a baby, 400 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 5: I can't get well, I'll never start my business. Negative 401 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 5: words can stop what God has for you. God told 402 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 5: the Israelites that they would live in the Promised Land, 403 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,360 Speaker 5: the land flowing with milk and honey. But negative words 404 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 5: kept them from going in. The ten spires said the. 405 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 4: People are too big. There are giants in the land. 406 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 4: The opposition didn't defeat them. Their negative words defeated them. 407 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 4: They said, we're not able. He don't have what it takes. 408 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 5: They became what they said, they prophesied their future. They 409 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 5: turned around and wandered in the desert for forty years. 410 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 5: When God puts something in your heart, don't start talking 411 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 5: about how it's not going to happen, what you don't have, 412 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 5: how big the opposition is. Abraham had this promise that 413 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 5: seemed impossible. God did something interesting. He changed his name 414 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 5: from Abram to Abraham. Abraham means the father of many nations. 415 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 5: He didn't feel like a father. But every time someone 416 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 5: said hello, Abraham, they were saying hello. 417 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 4: Father of many nations. He could have thought they have 418 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 4: the wrong person. I don't have any children. 419 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 5: When he met someone new, he would say hello, I 420 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 5: am Abraham. He was saying, I'm the father of many nations. 421 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 5: He said that over and over, month after month. 422 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 4: It began to get down in his spirit. He had 423 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 4: to see himself a new way before the promise could 424 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 4: come to pass. 425 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 5: The way God changed his self image was through his words. 426 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 4: That's why it's so important. All through the day, under 427 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 4: your breath, you need to be saying I'm blessed, I'm healthy. 428 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 5: I'm strong, I'm successful, I'm talented, I'm attractive. That's helping 429 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 5: to determine how you see yourself. God changed Sarah's name 430 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 5: from Sarah to Sarah Sarah means princes. 431 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 4: She didn't feel like a princess. She was barren. 432 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 5: Women in that day that didn't have children were looked 433 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 5: down on. She could have felt inferior, ashamed. But when 434 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 5: someone said hello Sarah, they were saying hello princes, Good 435 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 5: morning Sarah, Good morning, princes. When she told people her name, 436 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 5: she was saying, in effect, I'm chosen, I'm favored, I'm blessed. 437 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 5: She said all this while she was still barren. 438 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 4: Your tongue is the rudder. 439 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 5: It's deciding which direction your life is going to go. 440 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 5: Every time Abraham and Sarah said their names, their rudder 441 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 5: was pointed toward the promise. They kept declaring it year 442 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 5: after year. When Sarah was ninety years old, she gave 443 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 5: birth to a son. God did the impossible. What are 444 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 5: you saying about your dreams, your finances, your children. I'm 445 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 5: too old, I've made too many mistakes. I don't have 446 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 5: the talent that's going to keep you from giving birth. 447 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 5: You can't speak, defeat and reach your potential. Why don't 448 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 5: you start saying what God says about you? 449 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 4: He calls you what you are before it happens. I 450 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 4: don't feel blessed, healthy, favored. That's okay. 451 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 5: Just get in agreement with God and he'll make things 452 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 5: happen that you couldn't make happen. I talked to a 453 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 5: young man that came from a small town in Mississippi. 454 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 5: He got a scholarship to play soccer at a major university, 455 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 5: but his dream was to play football. His junior year, 456 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 5: he talked to the coaches about it. They allowed him 457 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 5: to switch from soccer and he. 458 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 4: Joined the football team. He was the kicker. 459 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 5: He was thrilled to be on the team, but the 460 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 5: coaches never gave him a chance. For two years, he 461 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 5: sat the bench, never kicked a single field goal. 462 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 4: At the end of his last college season, there. 463 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 5: Was a scout day where coaches came from professional teams 464 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 5: and they would look at the different players and ask 465 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 5: them to work out so they could evaluate them. He 466 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 5: was hoping he would get some good leads, but no 467 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 5: one was interested in him. It looked like his days 468 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 5: of playing football were over. Driving home from college, he 469 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 5: turned the radio on and came across our serious XM channel. 470 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 5: He heard me talking about how a shift is coming, 471 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 5: how you're just one phone call away from your destiny, 472 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 5: and how one touch of God's favor can catapult you 473 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 5: to the next level. When he heard that something ignited 474 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 5: in his spirit, he knew it was for him. He 475 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 5: got his phone out and made a three minute video 476 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 5: telling people that he was going to play that year 477 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 5: in the NFL. Most people thought that he would lost 478 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 5: his mind. He had never kicked one field goal, had 479 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 5: no track record, and you're going to play professional football. 480 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 4: That doesn't make sense. He let that go in one 481 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 4: ear and out the other. 482 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 5: He started speaking, victory Father, thank you that opportunity is 483 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 5: coming my way, thank you that favor is causing me 484 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 5: to stand out. He was setting his rudder in the 485 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 5: right direction, prophesying his future. Four hours after he made 486 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 5: the video, he received a phone call from the kicking 487 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 5: coach of the Cincinnati Bengals football team inviting him to 488 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 5: come try out for the team. 489 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 4: He couldn't believe it. 490 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 5: He had never spoken to the coach, never met him. 491 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 5: He went to the camp, tried out. 492 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 4: Against all odds, he made the team. 493 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 5: He became the only African American football kicker in the 494 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 5: NFL at that time. 495 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 4: When you speak. 496 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 5: Victory over your life, God will open doors that no 497 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 5: person can shut. He'll take you where you can't go 498 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 5: on your own. The dreams he's put in your heart, 499 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 5: the promises you're standing on. 500 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 4: It's not enough to just believe them. 501 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 5: That's important, But something happens when you speak. 502 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 4: Angels go to. 503 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 5: Work, forces of darkness are broken, good breaks come looking 504 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 5: for you. What you're up against may seem permanent. Just 505 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 5: keep speaking victory when the medical report is not good. 506 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 5: Keep speaking health when business is slow. Keep speaking abundance 507 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 5: when the addiction seems like it will never change. Keep 508 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 5: speaking freedom when your family member is off course. Keep 509 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 5: speaking breakthroughs if you'll keep declaring what God promised, not Joel, 510 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 5: I tried this for three days. 511 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 4: It didn't work. 512 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 5: I'm talking about a lifestyle where you've developed a habit 513 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 5: of speaking hell, speaking favor, speaking in abundance.
