1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Victoria, and I'm believe in you're going to have a

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: blessed summer. Praying for you guys every day, and thanks

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: for being with us today. Hey, I'm excited. Victoria's got

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,159
Speaker 1: a new book out. It's called Grace to Go, and

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: I know it's going to bless you. I'm excited because

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: in this book you will see how you are strengthened,

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: that you are prepared and you are ready.

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: For anything that's in front of you. You are grace

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: to go. Enjoy today's message. God bless you.

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 1: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media, and you can

13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: come visit us in person. We love to have you

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: be a part of one of our services. But let's

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: start with something funny. And I heard about this minister.

16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: He was driving down the road when he got pulled

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: over by a policeman. The officer came to the window

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: and smelled alcohol. He saw a thermist and said.

19
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: Sir, what are you drinking. The minister said, just water. Officer.

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: He asked to see the thermost and he took one

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: snip and said this it smells like wine to me.

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: The minister said, what do you know? Jesus did it again?

23
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

24
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says

26
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: I can do. Today I will be talked the word

27
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: of God. I'll boldly confess. My mind is alert, my

28
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

30
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: about a receiving mindset. God has great things in store

31
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: for all of us, but too often we don't think

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: we deserve it. We made too many mistakes. We don't

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: see how it can happen. Instead of receiving the mercy,

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: receiving the approval, receiving the abundance, we come up with excuses.

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: I can't get well, you saw the reporter. I can't

36
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: be blessed. I've had a rough past. I'll never have abundance.

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,919
Speaker 1: I don't have the training. We don't realize we're self

38
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: sabotaging our future. We want to be blessed, we're praying

39
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: for favor, but because of how we feel about ourselves,

40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: we're pushing away the very things that we want. Paul

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: said in Romans, the gift of righteousness is for all

42
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: who will receive it. God has gifts for you. He

43
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: has mercy, wisdom, favor. You don't earn it, you don't

44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: work for it. It's not based on your education, your background.

45
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: It's a gift. But these gifts won't do you any

46
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: good if you don't receive them.

47
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: The enemy will work over time to try to keep

48
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: you condemned, feeling unworthy, not good enough, smart enough, attractive enough.

49
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: Instead of believing those lies, try a different approach. Have

50
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: a receiving mindset.

51
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: God, I've made a lot of mistakes, but I receive

52
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: your forgiveness. My dream looks impossible, but I receive your favor.

53
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: Been fighting this sickness a long time, but I receive

54
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: your healing. Quit rejecting the good things God has for

55
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: you and learn to receive the gift. You don't have

56
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: to force it, you don't have to talk God into it.

57
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: Perform good enough, Just be a receiver. God, you promised

58
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: whom the sun sets free is free. Indeed, So Lord,

59
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: I receive your freedom right now.

60
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: Lord.

61
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: You said my latter days would be better than my

62
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: former days. So I receive a bright future. Now thoughts

63
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: will whisper not for you. You've had too many bad breaks.

64
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: You always struggle. No one is your family is successful.

65
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: You have a choice. You can let the gift sit

66
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: there and say.

67
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're probably right. I want to be blessed, but

68
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: it's never gonna happen. That's self sabotaging.

69
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: Do yourself a favor and take the gift. Lord.

70
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: I receive your abundance. I receive your favor. I receive

71
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: your blessing on my life. When our children were small,

72
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: six years old and three, I would take them up

73
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: to the toy store, no special occasion, just during the week.

74
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: I love being good to them. I say, hey, guys,

75
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: you want to go to the toy store?

76
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: Do you know? They never once said no, Dad, we

77
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: don't deserve it.

78
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: We're not worthy. We didn't clean our room last week.

79
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: I bit my brother, I threw food at my sister.

80
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: Children they know how to receive. They didn't start debating

81
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: whether or not they deserved it. They didn't question me,

82
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: as their father was I telling them the truth?

83
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: Did I really mean it? They just received the gift.

84
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: The scripture says you have to have faith as a

85
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: little child.

86
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: Children have no problem receiving.

87
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: They haven't been contamidated with all the inferiority lies about

88
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: how they don't measure up what they can't become. But

89
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: as adults we can start reasoning things out. I didn't

90
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: perform up to par God's not gonna bless me. All

91
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: my family struggles. I'm sure I'll struggle too. I'm not attractive,

92
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't feel valuable. There's nothing special about me. Why

93
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: don't you start receiving the gift? God said you are

94
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: fearfully and wonderfully made. He calls you a masterpiece. He

95
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: knew you before you were formed in your mother's wound

96
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: and approved you. He approved you before you could do

97
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: anything good. He didn't approve you based on your performance.

98
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: He approved you.

99
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: Based on the fact that you're his child, created in

100
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: his image, crowned with his favor. Now you have to

101
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: receive that approval, receive that validation. Not ordinary, but a

102
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: child of the most High God, handpicked by the creator

103
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: of the universe. You may not get this from people,

104
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: but your heavenly father says you're one of a kind,

105
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: a prize possession. Don't go through life inferior, not up

106
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: to par have a receiving mindset. God, I receive your approval,

107
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: I receive your love. I think that you have accepted me,

108
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: that I am worthy, I am valuable, I am a masterpiece.

109
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: The scripture says, it is the Father's good pleasure to

110
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: give you the kingdom. That means it makes God happy,

111
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: It gives him great joy to bless you, to forgive you,

112
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: to show you favor.

113
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: But there's a condition. Will you receive the gift. Will

114
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: you believe you're worthy.

115
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: You're approved, you're valuable, you're blessed, your favored.

116
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: Or are you pushing.

117
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: Away all the gifts, the love, the mercy, thinking you

118
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: don't deserve it. You could never get well, never have abundance,

119
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: never feel attractive. If you want to bring God joy,

120
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: if you want to make him smile, have a receiving mindset.

121
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: Start accepting the gifts, start believing the promises.

122
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: He said.

123
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: You haven't seen, heard, or imagined what He has in

124
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: store for you. Mind will tell you just the opposite.

125
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: You've seen your best days. Nothing good is in your future.

126
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: Tune that out, Father, I'll receive a future greater than

127
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: I can imagine. I'll receive your far and beyond favor.

128
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: Thoughts will tell you that your children will never get

129
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: back on course, they'll never.

130
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: Fulfill their purpose.

131
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: But God says your children will be mighty in the land.

132
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: He said, the seed of the righteous is blessed. Instead

133
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: of receiving the doubt, how about receiving the faith, receiving

134
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: the promises.

135
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: Father, I think that my children will become all that

136
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: you've created them to be.

137
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: I see them serving you, doing great things, leaving their mark.

138
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: What you're receiving is what's going to come to pass.

139
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: If you're receiving the doubt, the.

140
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: Negativity, I can't get well, can't break this addiction. I'll

141
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: always be lonely. You're receiving the wrong things. Start receiving

142
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: the gifts.

143
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: Receive the promises.

144
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: Receive the abundance, Receive great relationships. Receive a long, healthy life.

145
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: Receive a bountiful, productive, abundant year. One time Jesus was

146
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: in Galilee teaching the people. There were so many gathered

147
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: that he asked Peter if he could borrow his boat

148
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: he never met Peter. Peter agreed and let him use it.

149
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: Jesus pushed out from the shore and taught the people.

150
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: When he finished, he wanted to thank Peter. He told

151
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: him to launch out into the deep and he would

152
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: catch a great haul of fish. Well, Peter had fished

153
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: all night and caught nothing. He was tired, he didn't

154
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: feel like it, but he said to Jesus, nevertheless, at

155
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: your word, I will do it. He went out and

156
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: caught so many fish that his nets begin to break.

157
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: He had to call another boat over. When they loaded

158
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: up all the fish, both boats began to sink.

159
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: It was a net.

160
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: Breaking boat sinking blessing, something Peter had never experienced. But

161
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: when he got to the well the shore, the scripture says,

162
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: he fell down at Jesus' feet and said, Lord, please

163
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: depart from me. I'm too big of a sinner to

164
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: be around you. He was saying, I don't deserve this blessing.

165
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm not worthy of this favor. I've lived a rough life,

166
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: have a problem with my temper, I use bad language.

167
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: He came up with all these reasons why this shouldn't

168
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: have happened. But God was showing us that his blessing

169
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: is not based on our performance. His favor, his healing,

170
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: his freedom, his mercy.

171
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: It's the gift of God something we don't deserve.

172
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: We don't earn it, we couldn't work for it, we

173
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: can't make it happen in our own strength.

174
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 2: It's his goodness.

175
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: But like Peter, it's easy to find all the reasons

176
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: not to accept it. But I love what Jesus did.

177
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: He didn't say, Peter, you're right. I made a mistake.

178
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: I chose the wrong person. I didn't realize how unworthy

179
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: you were, how you have all these weaknesses and shortcom No,

180
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: he said, Peter, don't be afraid. From now on, you're

181
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: going to be fishing for people. I'm gonna make you

182
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: one of my disciples. You're going to impact the world

183
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: upon this rock. Upon you, Peter, I will build my church,

184
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: and the gates of Hell will not prevail against him.

185
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: I can imagine Peter's standing there in amazement, looking around, thinking,

186
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: does he know who I am? I'm not a history maker,

187
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: I'm a fisherman. He can't build anything on me. I'm

188
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: not a leader. I don't have any influence. All these

189
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: excuses flooded his mind, telling him what he was not,

190
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: how he didn't deserve it. But something rolls up in Peter.

191
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: Despite all the doubt, all the fear, all the insecurity.

192
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: The scripture says Peter left everything and followed Jesus. His

193
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: attitude was, I may be a little crazy, but I'm

194
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: gonna accept This gift seems far out, more than I

195
00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: can imagine.

196
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: I don't have the training. I've made mistakes, but I

197
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: believe that I'm forgiven. I believe that I'm worthy.

198
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: I believe I'm a history maker, a world changer, a

199
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: barrier breaker. Peter had every reason to reject the gift,

200
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: to push away the blessing, the abundance, the purpose. By

201
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: the grace of God, he had that childlike faith that

202
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: went beyond natural reasoning, and he accepted the gift. The

203
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: scripture says Peter was awe struck at the size of

204
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: his catch. He could have gone out caught a few fish,

205
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: he would have been grateful.

206
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: He could have caught a net full of fish. That

207
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: would have been amazing. He'd have been so impressed.

208
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: But God, on purpose did something out of the ordinary,

209
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: something that boggled his mind.

210
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: He was awe struck. He didn't know what to think.

211
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 1: No wonder. He fell down, thought, I'm not worthy. This

212
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: gift is something.

213
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 2: That I can't comprehend.

214
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: This blessing is bigger, greater, more than I've ever imagined.

215
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: Like Peter, God is going to bring some gifts across

216
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: your path that you've never seen, things that are going

217
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: to leave you awestruck, net breaking, boat sinking blessings.

218
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: You'll be tempted to dismiss it. I'm not worthy. I

219
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: don't deserve it. How could this be possible? Dare to

220
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: receive the gift. Let that seed take root, Let that

221
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: promise get down in your spirit.

222
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: Abundance, overflow, healing, freedom, Joe, I don't deserve it.

223
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: None of us deserve it.

224
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: It's the gift of God. He wants to show out

225
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: in your life. He wants to trust you with more resources,

226
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: more influence, more favor. When these moments come across your path,

227
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: don't push away the gift.

228
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 2: Don't talk yourself out of it.

229
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm not qualified. It's never happened in my family. That's

230
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: way over my head. God will on purpose put you

231
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: in situations so you have to trust him. It may

232
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: be over your head, but it's not over his head.

233
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: When we were trying to find property to build a

234
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: new auditorium, twice the door's closed, and I was kind

235
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: of discouraged thinking that.

236
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: We were stuck.

237
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: There's no way we could keep growing at the other location.

238
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: We didn't have the room. A friend called that I

239
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: hadn't spoken to in a long time.

240
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: He said, Joel, I want to take you to lunch.

241
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: It's important. We went the next week.

242
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: He said, I know you're looking for land to build

243
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: an auditorium, but there's something better. The Rockets basketball team

244
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: is moving out of the Compact Center. You should get

245
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: that building for your church. When he said that, something

246
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: came alive on the inside. It was like an explosion

247
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: went off in my spirit. I was awe struck at

248
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: the thought of it. Couldn't even imagine something that amazing.

249
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: But like Peter, my mind started coming up with excuses.

250
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: That's impossible. They're never going to let a church have it.

251
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: Even if they do, Joe, it's going to be too expensive.

252
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have the funds to by it. I

253
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: had to make a decision. Was I going to receive

254
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: the gift, let the promise take root, believe that God

255
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 1: could do exceedingly abundantly above what I could imagine, or was.

256
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 2: It going to push it away? This is too good

257
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: to be true. I don't deserve it.

258
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: I've only been ministering three years, having been the seminary.

259
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: How could I handle that favor, that influence. On one hand,

260
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: I was praying for God to do something awesome, let

261
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: me help people all over the world. Then when the

262
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: opportunity comes, we're tempted to push it away. Now, don't

263
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: self sabotage the greatness God has for your life. Don't

264
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: let fear, unworthiness, doubt keep you from stepping in the

265
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: levels you've never dreamed. Peter didn't feel qualified, he felt unworthy,

266
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: he had weaknesses, he was inconsistent.

267
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: Yet God said you're going to become a rock. I'm

268
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 2: gonna build my church on you.

269
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: God wouldn't have given you the gift if you couldn't

270
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: handle it. You may not feel qualified, but He's going

271
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: to train you.

272
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: You're not a finished product.

273
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: He's making you, molding you, bringing out talent that you

274
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: didn't know you had.

275
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: Now you have to.

276
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: Do your part and receive the approval, receive the confidence,

277
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: receive the favor.

278
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,239
Speaker 2: We had some big obstacles, but God fought our battles,

279
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: brought down the giants, and gave us the compact center.

280
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: Here's my point.

281
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: None of this would have happened had I not had

282
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: a receiving mindset. You have to receive it in your

283
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: spirit before it will come to pass.

284
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: And too often we're good at receiving the negative.

285
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: You'll never get well, never pay your house off, your

286
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: child will never get back on course. You've seen your

287
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: best days. We think, yeah, you're probably right. Looks impossible.

288
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: I've made so many mistakes. Inflation is so bad. You're

289
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: receiving the wrong things. Start receiving what.

290
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 2: God says about you.

291
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: You will lend and not borrow. I receive the abundance.

292
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: You can do all things through Christ. I'll receive that strength.

293
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at

294
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: your right hand, but.

295
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: It shall not come near you.

296
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: I receive that protection. You have the mind of Christ.

297
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: You know the right decision. Every time I receive that wisdom.

298
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: God will make you the happy mother of children. He

299
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: will give you the desires of your heart.

300
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: I receive that baby we've been believing for him.

301
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: God will do exceedingly above and beyond what you could

302
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: ever ask or imagine. I'll receive the favor, I'll receive

303
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: my compact centers, I receive the business. I'll receive the influence.

304
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: I'll receive the victory. It's interesting how people can put

305
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: things on the internet that are not true. A staff

306
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: member sent me this screenshot that talked about my net worth.

307
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: It was like a zillion dollars many many times exaggerated

308
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: and just trying to stir things up.

309
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: And my friend said, does that bother you?

310
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: Should we try to have them take it down? I said, no,

311
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: leave it up. I receive it.

312
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: They are they are prophesy in my future. I have

313
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: a receiving mindset. They meant it for harm. They don't

314
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 2: realize God's gonna use it for good.

315
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: My attitude is God, let it happen show out.

316
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: In my life.

317
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: See I have everything I need, but I'll use it

318
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: to build the kingdom, to get the message of hope out,

319
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: to build orphanages, to build hospitals.

320
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: Why don't you have a receiving mindset?

321
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: Don't push away all the good things that you're believing

322
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: for dare to receive it. You may not see how

323
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: looks unlikely. You don't have to figure it out.

324
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 2: All you have to do is believe. When you believe,

325
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: all things are possible.

326
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: When you believe, angels go to work, chains are broken,

327
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: favor is released, good breaks are set in motion. The

328
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: scripture says God has blessings stored up for the righteous.

329
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: There are blessings that have your name on them. Businesses, houses, ministries, inventions, healing, freedom, children, spouses.

330
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: They already belong to you. At the right time, God's

331
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: going to release them.

332
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: The question is will you receive those blessings you can't

333
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: have and I'm unworthy mindset, I don't deserve it. It's

334
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: too big, I couldn't handle it. That's pushing away what's

335
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: stored up. Live with a receiving mentality. Every morning, Lord,

336
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: I receive your love Today. I'm gonna love myself and

337
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna love others. Lord, I receive your peace. I'm

338
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: not gonna live stressed and worry.

339
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: God.

340
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: I receive your mercy, fresh and new every morning. Thank

341
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: you that you've approved me, accepted me, and anointed me.

342
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: God, I receive your healing.

343
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: Thank you that I'm healthy, whole, full of vitality. That

344
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: my youth is being renewed like the eagles or God.

345
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: I receive your favor.

346
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: Think you that blessings are chasing me down, that goodness

347
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: and mercy are following me, that my latter days will

348
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: be better than my former days. A friend of mine

349
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: is very good at encouraging people. You can't be around

350
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: him five minutes without him complimenting you. Telling you how

351
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: great you are always makes you feel so blessed, so uplifted.

352
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: But what's interesting is for years he could never receive

353
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 1: a compliment. He always had some reason to downplay it,

354
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: so like he had trained himself to not feel good

355
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: about who he was, to push away any kind of

356
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: thoughts that would build him up. He would speak in

357
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: front of people and I would call and say, man,

358
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: that was great today, that was so strong. Yeah, but

359
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: I got distracted and I should have said this, and

360
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: I left.

361
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 2: This part out.

362
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: He didn't realize he was self sabotaging. He was letting

363
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: this inner recording keep playing. You're not worthy, you're not

364
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 1: good enough, you don't deserve to be happy.

365
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: You have to turn that recording off and start.

366
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: Receiving the approval, receiving the honor, receiving the blessing. You

367
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: can't love others the way you should without loving yourself.

368
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: You're supposed to feel good about who you are. You

369
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: compliment others, why don't you receive the compliments. It's not

370
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 1: honoring to God, to go around down on yourselves, feeling unworthy,

371
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: like you don't measure up. The scripture says God has

372
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: crowned you with his favor.

373
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: You want to honor God.

374
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: Put your crown on, put your shoulders back, hold your

375
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: head up high, and receive the honor. His friend went

376
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: with me to an interview I was doing on television.

377
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: Was a big deal and national thing, live, and I

378
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: was kind of nervous about it.

379
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: When we got finished, we got in the car and

380
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: the first thing I said was I did really good.

381
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: I felt relieved and I thought I did great. I

382
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: didn't think anything about saying it, but he said that

383
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: moment changed his life. He realized he had never complimented himself.

384
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: He'd never once said I did good.

385
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: That's not how he was raised. He was taught to

386
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: show your humility.

387
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: You need to be down on yourself, feel like you're

388
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: less than.

389
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 2: Don't think too good about who you are.

390
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: You can't reach your destiny feeling inferior, inadequate. You have

391
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: enough people in life against you. Don't be against yourself.

392
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: You're supposed to feel good about who you are. You're

393
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: supposed to not only receive compliments, but learn to compliment yourself.

394
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: You build others up, build yourself up. You tell your

395
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: friends how great they are, tell yourself how great you are.

396
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: It's not being selfish, that's receiving the approval, receiving the honor.

397
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: When God was creating the universe, at the end of

398
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: each day, he stopped and said that was good. He

399
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: complimented himself. Nobody else was around, but he said, you know.

400
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: What I did good today. He was showing us a principle.

401
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 1: Have you ever said to yourself, I did good today,

402
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: I worked hard today, I looked good today. I was

403
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: good to others today. Some people all they do is

404
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: find the negative. I didn't get enough done, I didn't

405
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: sell my diet, and I should have spent more time

406
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: with my children. Shouldn't have said that to my coworker.

407
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: They focus on their faults, their weaknesses. It's not doing

408
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: anything productive to beat yourself up. Being critical towards yourself

409
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: is not going to help you do better. You're receiving

410
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: the wrong things, the guilt condemnation. Do yourself a favor

411
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: and start being for yourself and not against yourself. The

412
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: scripture says our faith is made effective when we acknowledge

413
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: everything good.

414
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: Your faith is not effective.

415
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: Pointing out your flaws, on your shortcomings, down on yourself.

416
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: Peter would have never left his mark if he had

417
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: kept that unworthy, don't deserve it mentality.

418
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: He had to learn to receive the approval, receive.

419
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: The honor that came from his heavenly father. When the

420
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: church was first starting back there in the Book of Acts,

421
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: they needed someone to speak at the inaugural service, very

422
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: prestigious position. They could have chosen one of the apostles,

423
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: or a religious leader, an esteemed scholar, but out of

424
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: all the people, they chose Peter. Look at how his

425
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: mentality had shifted from I'm unworthy, go away from me,

426
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: Jesus to let me step up and start the church.

427
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: I'm well able, I'm strong in the.

428
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: Lord, I'm anointed. All depends on what you're receiving. Start

429
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: receiving God's approval.

430
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: Lord. Thank you that I'm a masterpiece. Receive his mercy.

431
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: Father, Thank you that your mercy is bigger than my mistakes.

432
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: Thank you that I'm redeemed, restored and forgiven.

433
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: Receive his favor.

434
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: Lord, Thank you that you're shining down on my life.

435
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: Taken me where I've never dreamed, or how about receiving

436
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: those net breaking blessings, blessings that leave your austra your

437
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: compact sinners.

438
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: Lord, this seems too good to be true.

439
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: But I'm a believer and not a doubter or show

440
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: out in my life. This is what a teenage girl

441
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: in the scripture did named Mary.

442
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 2: Angel appeared to her and.

443
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: Said she was going to have a baby without knowing

444
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: a man, that he would be the Messiah.

445
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: You can imagine what went through her mind.

446
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: That's impossible, that defies the laws of nature. She could

447
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: have dismissed it, walked away, but she asked the angel,

448
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: how can this be? The angel said, the spirit of

449
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: God will come on you and cause you to conceive.

450
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: And despite all the doubt, all the uncertainty, she looked

451
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: at the angel and said, be it under me.

452
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: Even as you have said.

453
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: She was saying, this doesn't make it's never been done.

454
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: But God, I receive what you promise. Let it happen.

455
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: She gave birth to the Messiah. You're gonna have these times,

456
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: like Mary. It's not gonna make sense.

457
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: The odds are against you. Your mind is telling you

458
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: no way. Don't get your hopes up, you can't get well,

459
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: start your business, never have that baby.

460
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 2: Dare to do like Mary and say God, let it happen.

461
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: I receive the abundance, I receive the healing, I receive

462
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: the freedom. I believe this baby that we've been dreaming

463
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: about is on the way.

464
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: Let that take root in your spirit.

465
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: That's what allows God to do amazing things. But I

466
