But thanks so much for tuning in, and 48 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 4: thank you again for coming out. I'd like to start 49 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 4: with something funny, and I heard about this teenager. He'd 50 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 4: just gotten his driver's license. He asked his father about 51 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 4: borrowing the car. His father said, son, I'll make a 52 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 4: deal with you. If you'll bring your grades up, read 53 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 4: your Bible every day, and get your haircut, I'll let 54 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 4: you borrow it. He came back a month later and 55 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 4: ask about it again. Father said, well, son, you brought 56 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 4: your grades up, you've been reading your Bible every day, 57 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 4: but you still haven't got your haircut. He said, well, Dad, 58 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 4: I've been thinking about it. Moses had long hair, Samson 59 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 4: had long hair. Even Jesus had long hair. His father said, yes, son, 60 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 4: and they walked everywhere they went. Hold your Bible up, 61 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 4: say it like you meet it. This is my I 62 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 4: am what it says I am. I have what it 63 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 4: says I have. I can do what it says I 64 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 4: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 65 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 4: I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 66 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 67 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 68 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 4: heavy favor. There's something God has put on you that 69 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 4: will help you accomplish what you couldn't accomplish on your own. 70 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 4: It will cause you to stand out in the crowd, 71 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 4: get breaks that you didn't deserve. It's called favor. The 72 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 4: Psalmist said, God's favor surrounds us like a shield. That 73 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 4: means everywhere you go you have an advantage, a divine empowerment, 74 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 4: opening up the right doors, causing things to fall into place. 75 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 4: But Isaiah took it a step further. He said, arise 76 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 4: and shine, for the glory of the Lord is upon you. 77 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 5: You. 78 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 4: That word glory in the original language implies God's favor 79 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 4: is heavy upon you. There's an emphasis on the weight. 80 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 4: Isaiah was saying. You didn't just get a little favor 81 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 4: enough to get by scrape through life. Now, when it 82 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 4: comes to favor, you're not a lightweight. You are heavy 83 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 4: with favor. You are weighted down with God's goodness. And 84 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 4: it's one thing to know you have favor. That's important, 85 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 4: But when you realize you are heavy with favor, it 86 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 4: takes on a whole new meaning. You won't go around 87 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 4: intimidated insecure. You'll put your shoulders back, hold your head 88 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 4: up high. When you know you have heavy favor, you'll 89 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 4: pray bold prayers. You'll believe for the extraordinary. You'll expect 90 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 4: doors to open for you that may not open for 91 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 4: somebody else. When you know you're heavy with favor, you'll rise. 92 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 4: And that's when God will cause you to shine. You'll 93 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: step into a new level of your destiny. Now, maybe 94 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 4: today you're heavy with worry, heavy with discouragement, weighted down 95 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 4: with problems, disappointments, sickness, black or you need to get ready. 96 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 4: This is your due season. Instead of being heavy with burdens, 97 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 4: you're going to be heavy with good breaks, heavy with 98 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 4: divine hell, heavy with opportunity, heavy with joy. Remember back 99 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 4: in the sixties, when something good happened, hippies would say heavy, 100 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 4: man heavy. That's what you're going to be saying out 101 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 4: of nowhere. A good break, heavy man heavy. The medical 102 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 4: report didn't look good, but your health suddenly turned around. 103 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 4: Heavy man heavy. In your finances an explosive blessing, a 104 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 4: raise and inheritance, and you pay your house off, you 105 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 4: come out of debt and to overflow. Heavy man heavy, 106 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 4: Shake off the doubt, shake off the discouragement, have a 107 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 4: new perspective. You didn't get average favor, ordinary favor, just 108 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 4: enough favor. You are heavy with favor. When you understand this, 109 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 4: it'll change your outlook. You'll have a boldness, a confidence 110 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 4: to ask big, to believe big, to expect God's favor 111 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: in a new way. One time, Joshua and his men 112 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 4: were out fighting a battle in the scripture, and it 113 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 4: was getting late in the day. He knew he wasn't 114 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 4: going to be able to finish the enemy off because 115 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 4: he was running out of daylight. He could have thought, 116 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 4: too bad for me, I've run out of time. Now 117 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 4: Joshua understood this principle. He knew he was heavy with favor. 118 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 4: He looked up and said, son, stand still. The scripture 119 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 4: says the sun stopped didn't go down until he completed 120 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 4: his task. When you know you're heavy with favor, instead 121 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 4: of thinking, oh, man, this problems never going to resolve. No, 122 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 4: you'll do like Joshua and say, God, I may not 123 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 4: see away, but I know you have a way. The 124 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 4: medical report doesn't look good, but God, I know you 125 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 4: have the final say healing is coming my way. Or 126 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 4: maybe I've had this addiction so long, but I know 127 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 4: this is my due season year. Freedom is coming my way. 128 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 4: I wonder how much further we would go, how many 129 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 4: dreams we see come to pass, if we really believed 130 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 4: we are heavy with favor? Are you praying these bold 131 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 4: prayers expecting God to show out in your life? Would 132 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 4: you dare do like Joshua and ask God to do 133 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 4: something out of the ordinary to bring your dreams to 134 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 4: pass that look so far out like it's not practical. 135 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 4: It may not be for an average person, But the 136 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 4: good news is you're not average. You have heavy favor. 137 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 4: This is your time to eyes and shine. God is 138 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 4: about to make you stand out. He's about to take 139 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 4: you somewhere that you've never been. Now all through the day, 140 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 4: let's get in agreement with God. Lord, I thank you 141 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 4: that I'm heavy with favor. You're shining down on me, 142 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 4: showing me something that I've never seen. A few years ago, 143 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 4: a friend of mine sold his house and he and 144 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 4: his family needed another place to live, and they had 145 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 4: looked at different houses again and again and couldn't find anything. 146 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 4: One evening, they were out walking through their neighborhood and 147 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 4: he saw this certain house that he'd always liked. The 148 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 4: people had lived there for over thirty years. But something 149 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 4: said on the inside, go ask them if they want 150 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 4: to sell it. He thought, I can't do that. That 151 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 4: would be odd, a stranger knocking on their door. He's 152 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 4: a very quiet, conservative man, but he couldn't get away 153 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 4: from that feeling, and he finally got his nerve up, 154 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 4: went up and knocked on the door and asked the 155 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 4: man if he was interested in selling the house. The 156 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 4: man said no, we're planning on living here for many 157 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 4: more years. My friend handed him his business card and said, well, 158 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 4: if you ever change your mind, please let me know. 159 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 4: Five days later, the man called back and said, we've 160 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 4: had a change of heart. We'd like to sell you 161 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 4: the house. What is that heavy favor to knock on 162 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 4: somebody's door and have them move out of their house. 163 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 4: Only God can make that happen. Don't come knocking on 164 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 4: my door now. But when you know that you have 165 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 4: heavy favor, you'll have this boldness, this confidence to ask big, 166 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 4: to believe big. That's when God will show out in 167 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 4: your life. But too often we think, oh Joe, this 168 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 4: isn't gonna happen for me. I never get any good breaks, 169 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 4: I'll never live in a nice place. I'll never break 170 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 4: this addiction. Never get healthy again. No get rid of 171 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 4: that defeated mentality. Have this new perspective. You are heavy 172 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 4: with favor. This is your year to higher, to come 173 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 4: in to overflow, to see those dreams come to pass. Now, 174 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 4: be bold, dare to take some steps of faith. Dare 175 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 4: to believe God has already given you everything that you need. 176 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 4: Thoughts will try to talk you out of it, tell 177 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 4: you why it's not going to happen. You have to 178 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 4: talk back to yourself the right way. Lord. I want 179 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 4: to thank you that you're shining down on me. This 180 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 4: is my due season year. Dreams are coming to pass, 181 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 4: These problems are turning around. Lord, I believe I'm heavy 182 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 4: with favor. When you live with this expectancy, you'll see 183 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 4: God do things out of the ordinary. In two thousand 184 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 4: and three, we had our groundbreaking services planned for this building. 185 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 4: We were going to have one weekend here so everyone 186 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 4: could see it. Then it was going to take a 187 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 4: year and a half to finish the construction. We had 188 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 4: this big weekend all lined up. When we got word 189 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 4: that the Highway Department was going to close the freeway 190 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 4: a few hours before our services. Nobody would have been 191 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 4: able to come. We couldn't change our plans. We had 192 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 4: already advertised, already rented all of the equipment. We could 193 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 4: have thought, boy, we sure chose the wrong weekend for 194 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 4: the groundbreaking. But the scripture says, you have not because 195 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 4: you ask not. How many things are we not seeing 196 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 4: God do not because he wouldn't do it, but because 197 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 4: we're not asking. We called the Highway department and asked 198 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 4: if they would change their plans for our services. They 199 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 4: kind of laughed and said, I'm sorry, we don't do that. 200 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 4: This construction has been planned for years. But when you 201 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 4: know you're heavy with favor, you don't give up because 202 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 4: you got told no one time. You go back and 203 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 4: ask again. We got in touch with the main person there. 204 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 4: He got back with us a few days later and said, 205 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 4: we've never done this before, but we're going to make 206 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 4: an exception for you and close it's the freeway after 207 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 4: your services are over. If you're going to see the 208 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 4: fullness of your destiny, you've got to have this boldness 209 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 4: to ask big, to believe big, to expect things to 210 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 4: happen for you that may not happen for somebody else. 211 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 4: Not arrogantly, but in humility. Dare to believe there's something 212 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 4: on you that causes people to want to be good 213 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 4: to you, something that causes you to get breaks that 214 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 4: you didn't deserve, something that causes problems that looked permanent 215 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 4: to suddenly turn around. What is it? It's heavy favor. 216 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 4: I know this couple. They have a daughter, and when 217 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 4: she was three years old, something fell on these two 218 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 4: fingers and it cut the very tips of them off. 219 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 4: They rushed her to the emergency room. The surgeon eventually 220 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 4: told the father, I'm sorry, but there's nothing I'm going 221 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 4: to be able to do to restore your daughter's two fingers. 222 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 4: She will never have a fingernail on those fingers. Plus 223 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 4: they will always be a little bit shorter. The bone 224 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 4: is missing. Well, this father, he was respectful, but he 225 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 4: knew he had heavy favor. He said, doctor, I believe 226 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 4: God can restore my little girl's fingers and make them 227 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 4: normal once again. This doctor was from another country and 228 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 4: he didn't understand too much about faith, and he looked 229 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 4: at the man and said, well, that's fine, sir, you 230 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 4: can believe whatever you want to. I'm just telling you 231 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 4: the bone is missing. They will never be the right 232 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 4: link when the man's wife came in. The doctor got 233 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 4: her over to the side and said, your husband is 234 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 4: in shock. He won't accept the fact that your daughter's 235 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 4: fingers have been cut off. She had the skin graft, 236 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 4: and six weeks later they brought the little girl back 237 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 4: for her check up. When the doctor removed the bandages, 238 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 4: his first words were, oh my god. This father was alarmed. 239 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 4: He said, what's wrong. The doctor said, look, the fingernails 240 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 4: have grown back, and it looks like the two fingers 241 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 4: are the exact right link that was years ago. Those 242 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 4: two fingers are still perfectly normal. When you believe you 243 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 4: are heavy with favor, you will see things happen that 244 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 4: look impossible. You may be in a situation right now 245 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 4: where all the odds are against you. The experts say 246 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 4: it's not going to happen. You won't get well, won't 247 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 4: qualify for the house, won't see the dream come to pass. 248 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 4: But what they are not taken into account is the 249 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 4: favor on your life. If it was average favor, you 250 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 4: may be stuck. It may not happen. But the difference 251 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 4: is you don't have average favor. You have a heavy favor. 252 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 4: God is about to show out in your life. He's 253 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 4: about to turn some things around. You're going to look 254 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 4: up and say, like this couple, that was heavy favor, 255 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 4: that was the goodness of God. Friends, dare to believe big, 256 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 4: dare to pray Big God wants to do something that 257 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 4: you've never seen, something out of the ordinary. Doctor Todd 258 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 4: Price is a friend of mine. He has a successful 259 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 4: infectious disease practice here in town. He does medical missions 260 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 4: work all over the world. A few years back, when 261 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 4: he was first getting started with his medical outreaches, he 262 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 4: had a dream to take shoes to needy children in Africa. 263 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 4: He told how because they didn't wear shoes, eighty percent 264 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 4: of them have parasites and it's ruining their health. Here, 265 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 4: doctor Price is just one person, a busy practice. How 266 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 4: could he make much of a difference. But he understands 267 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 4: that he has heavy favor. He has this boldness to 268 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 4: ask these big medical companies and suppliers to help him out. 269 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 4: His goal was to take shoes to all the children 270 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 4: in this particular village that he was working in at 271 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 4: that time. Kids a shoe company here in the States 272 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 4: heard what he was doing, called and asked, how many 273 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 4: pairs of shoes do you need? He said three thousand pair. 274 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 4: They said, we have a few more than three thousand. 275 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 4: How about we give you a million pair of children's shoes. 276 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 4: That's heavy favor. That's the way God is. When you 277 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 4: dream big, believe big, expect big, God will supersize what 278 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 4: you're dreaming about. And some of you, what you're praying 279 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 4: for is way too small. What you're hoping you can 280 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 4: accomplish is not near what God has in mind. You 281 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 4: need to get ready. God is about to supersize it. 282 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 4: You're going to see this heavy favor. The scripture says, 283 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 4: you haven't seen, heard, or imagined the amazing things God 284 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 4: has in store. That loved the Lord, that's each one 285 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 4: of you. I've seen this happen in my own life 286 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 4: again and again. What I thought would be so good, 287 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 4: what I was hoping to accomplish, was nothing compared to 288 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 4: what God had in mind. In my early twenties, when 289 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 4: I walked into that jewelry store and met Victoria for 290 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 4: the first time, she was one of those things I 291 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,479 Speaker 4: had not seen, heard, or imagined. God supersized what I 292 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 4: was dreaming about. It took heavy favor to get her. 293 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 4: Let me tell you, it takes heavy favor to keep her. 294 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 4: When I wrote my first book ten years ago, Your 295 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 4: Best Life Now, I thought, wouldn't that be amazing if 296 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 4: it made the New York Times Bestsellers List. I would 297 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 4: have been thrilled If it had made it just for 298 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 4: one week. That book was on the list for over 299 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 4: one hundred weeks in a row. God supersized what I 300 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 4: was dreaming about. When we moved into this building, we 301 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 4: had signed a sixty year lease with the City of Houston. 302 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 4: We always knew we wanted to purchase it, but the 303 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 4: lease was the best option at the time. This facility 304 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 4: is where several hundred million dollars. In twenty ten, the 305 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 4: city contacted us and ask if we were interested in 306 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 4: purchasing it. We told them we were, but of course 307 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 4: it all depended on the price. They did all their studies, 308 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 4: after their evaluations, they called us back and said, we'll 309 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 4: sell it to you. Not for one hundred million, not 310 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 4: fifty million, not twenty five million. We'll sell it to 311 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 4: you for seven and a half million dollars. That's heavy favor. 312 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 4: That's more than we could ask or think. Paul said, 313 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 4: in the ages to come, we would see the surpassing 314 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 4: greatness of God's favor. Friends, we are living in the 315 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 4: day Paul talked about where we will see far and 316 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 4: beyond favor. If you'll get your hopes up, start expecting it, 317 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 4: praying bowld prayers, believing for the ordinary extraordinary. When you arise, 318 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 4: God will cause you to shine. He'll show up and 319 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 4: supersize what you're dreaming about. There's a couple that attends here. 320 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 4: They have a daughter that had a heart defect. She 321 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 4: had to have several very extensive surgeries. Today the young 322 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 4: lady is perfectly healthy. But those surgeries were not fully 323 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 4: covered by their insurance. Their part of the hospital bill 324 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 4: was over four hundred thousand dollars. The mother is a schoolteacher, 325 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 4: the father a police officer. In the natural, it looked 326 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 4: like they would be paying on that debt for a 327 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 4: long long time. They didn't get discouraged, they didn't start complaining. 328 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 4: They knew they had heavy favor. They dared to pray 329 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 4: these bold prayers. They said, God, we don't see how 330 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 4: we could get out of debt, but we know you 331 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 4: own it all. One touch of your favor can turn 332 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 4: it around. One day, out of the blue, the hospital 333 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 4: called and said, we've never done this before. But we've 334 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 4: decided to not only forgive your debt, but we're going 335 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 4: to pay you back for the two years of payments 336 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 4: that you've already made. They were just hoping to be 337 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 4: debt free, but God supersized what they were dreaming about. 338 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 4: He'll do it for you. One Kings, Chapter six. This 339 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 4: enemy army was trying to overtake the Israelites, but every 340 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 4: time they made a move, the Israelites already knew where 341 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 4: they were going. This enemy king was so frustrated he 342 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 4: thought one of his men was a spy. He called 343 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 4: them together and said, who's the trader who's leaking this 344 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 4: inside information? A captain spoke up and said, King, it's 345 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 4: none of us. There's a prophet in Israel named Elisha. 346 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,959 Speaker 4: What you whisper to us in secret, he announces publicly 347 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 4: to the Israelites. This king was furious. He said, we're 348 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 4: going to go get Elisha. Verse fourteen says one night 349 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,959 Speaker 4: he sent a great army with many horses and chariots 350 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 4: to surround Elisha's house. Notice what happens when you're heavy 351 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 4: with favor. This king was trying to capture one man. 352 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 4: You would think he would maybe send a dozen people 353 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 4: to get him, but he sent thousands of troops, horses, chariots, 354 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 4: all to capture one man that was heavy with favor. 355 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 4: Elisha's assistant got up early in the morning and saw 356 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 4: all the enemy forces surrounding the house. He told Elisha. 357 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 4: Elisha said, don't worry. We may be outnumbered, but I 358 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 4: know a secret. I'm heavy with favor. They may have 359 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 4: more weapons, more equipment, more talent, but I have something 360 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 4: more powerful than all of that, the fever of God. 361 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 4: Elisha knew how to pray these bold prayers. He had 362 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 4: seen God open blind eyes. He prayed for just the opposite. 363 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 4: He said, God, let them become blind so they don't 364 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 4: recognize me. They came knocked on the door, said we're 365 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 4: looking for Elisha. He said, Elisha, you're in the wrong city. 366 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 4: You need to go to Samaria. They said, thank you, 367 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 4: sir for your health. He said, let me help you 368 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 4: some more. I'll lead you there. Elisha ended up leading 369 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 4: this enemy army right into the hands of the Israelites. 370 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 4: Once they were surrounded and captured, their eyes were opened. 371 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 4: They realized it was Elisha the whole time. When you 372 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 4: know you're heavy with favor, you'll see God do amazing things. 373 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 4: He'll protect you from your enemies. He'll guide you. He'll 374 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 4: even make you invisible to your enemies. Now, don't you 375 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 4: dare go around week afraid intimidated. You are so powerful, 376 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 4: You are full of the anointing. You are heavy with favor. 377 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 4: When the enemy looks at you, just like with Elisha, 378 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 4: he thinks I have to send an whole army to 379 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 4: try to stop them. He may do his best, but 380 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 4: his best will never be enough. When you're heavy with favor, 381 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 4: you cannot be defeated. When my father was a young 382 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 4: minister back in the nineteen fifties, he would travel from 383 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 4: town to town speaking at small churches and conventions. He 384 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 4: carried his sound equipment in the trunk of his car. 385 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 4: One evening, he arrived at this auditorium a couple of 386 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 4: hours early to get everything set up. Several hundred people 387 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 4: were expected that night. It was a big deal for 388 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 4: my father. He wanted it to all go perfect. But 389 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 4: in the midst of the excitement, he accidentally locked his 390 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 4: keys in the trunk of his car. Couldn't get the 391 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 4: sound equipment out. He and some other people started working 392 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 4: on the trunk and shaking it jiggling it, used a 393 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 4: coat hanger to try to get it open, no success. 394 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 4: It looked like his big evening was ruined. Just when 395 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 4: he was about to give up, he realized he hadn't prayed. 396 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 4: One thing I can tell you about my father is 397 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 4: he knew how to pray these bold prayers. He wasn't 398 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 4: ashamed to pray about anything. Growing up. He would pray 399 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 4: over the lawnmower, over the dishwasher, over anything that wouldn't work, 400 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 4: mostly my brother Paul. My father told all the people 401 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 4: standing there that he was going to pray and ask 402 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 4: God to help him open the trunk. They looked at 403 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 4: him so strange, that seemed so far out. They were 404 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 4: things you can't pray for a trunk to be open, 405 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 4: But my father did. He said, God, I know there's 406 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 4: nothing too hard for you. Lord. I need this sound 407 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 4: equipment from my meeting tonight. I'm asking you to somehow, 408 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 4: some way help me to get it open. While he 409 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 4: was praying, the other people were laughing, mocking, kind of 410 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 4: making fun under their breath. When he finished praying, he 411 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 4: went over to the trunk and he shook it and 412 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 4: jiggled it even harder than ever, but still wouldn't open. 413 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 4: He turned and walked away, and when he got about 414 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 4: ten feet from the car, they all heard this click. 415 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 4: They look back, and all on its own, just like 416 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 4: it was in slow motion that trump began to slowly 417 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 4: open up, just like it was saying hallylujah. Those other 418 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 4: people nearly passed out. Now you may not need a 419 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 4: trunk to open, but the doctors have told you that 420 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 4: it doesn't look good. Why don't you arise and say, God, 421 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 4: I believe I'm heavy with favor, that you can do 422 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 4: what medicine cannot do, or a child is off course, 423 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 4: you're struggling in your finances, Your dream looks impossible. Have 424 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 4: you ever asked God to turn it around? Have you 425 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 4: ever said God, I know nothing is too hard for you. 426 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 4: You have the final say you can get me to 427 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 4: where I'm supposed to be. When you have this heavy favor, 428 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 4: you'll have a boldness to believe for the fullness of 429 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 4: your destiny. Luke Chapter one talks about a young lady 430 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 4: named Mary. Mary was an ordinary teenage girl. She didn't 431 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 4: come from an influential family. Her parents weren't wealthy, didn't 432 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,239 Speaker 4: have notoriety, they were poor. In the natural there was 433 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 4: nothing special about Mary, nothing that made her stand out. 434 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 4: But one day an angel appeared into her and said, hello, Mary, 435 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 4: you highly favored woman. I'm sure at first she looked 436 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 4: around and thought you got the wrong girl. I'm not 437 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 4: highly favored. I'm just average. It's easy to talk yourself 438 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 4: out of what God said about you, But if an 439 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 4: angel were to appear to you today, he would say 440 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 4: the same thing. Hello James, you highly favored man. Hello Marie, 441 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 4: you highly favored woman. Hello Lakewood, you highly favored people. 442 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 4: The angel went on to tell Mary that she was 443 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 4: going to have a baby without knowing a man. Sometimes 444 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 4: God will put things in your heart that seemed very unlikely. 445 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 4: That's why the angel started off the conversation by reminding 446 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 4: her that she was heavy with favor. When you face 447 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 4: impossible situations, you have to remind yourself what the angel 448 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 4: first said, that you too are heavy with God's favor. 449 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 4: Verse forty four. Elizabeth said to Mary, you are blessed 450 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 4: because you believed the Lord will do what he said. 451 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 4: Notice believing is the key. In other words, even though 452 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 4: the angel said she was heavy with favor, if she 453 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 4: had not believed it, she would have never seen this favor. 454 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 4: God is saying to you today, this is your due 455 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 4: season year. Dreams are coming to pass, problems are turning around. 456 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 4: You're about to rise to a new level. Now. You 457 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 4: can either let circumstances talk you out of it, or 458 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 4: you can do like Mary and say God, I agree. 459 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 4: I believe I'm heavy with favor. When you arise, God 460 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 4: will cause you to shine. Friends, what I'm saying is, 461 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 4: you're not a lightweight. You didn't get average favor, ordinary favor. 462 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 4: You're heavy with favor. Dare to believe big, pray these 463 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 4: bold prayers. Expect God to do the extraordinary. If you'll 464 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 4: do this, I believe and declare you haven't seen, heard, 465 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 4: or imagined what's coming your way.

Just say Lord, Jesus, I 472 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 4: repent of my sins. Come into my heart.
